My all time favourite meal when I was a kid was a recipe my big sister and I learnt on the Curiosity Show (ah Prof Rob and Dr Deane, so many memories). It was called Dragon Toast on the show and consisted of grated cheese, milk and butter mixed together.
I'm sure the mini-gourmands of Junior Masterchef would be horrified to know that the fromage du jour was Kraft Cheddar cheese, so soft you could use it to take fingerprints, and came in a blue cardboard box.
Once you'd combined your very soft cheddar cheese with butter and milk, it was piled on a piece of bread toasted on one side only (toasting it on one side under the grill was a novelty for someone who thought bread magically appeared from toasters), and then grilled.
The time it took for the cheese to melt and then go all gooey and yummy was the longest time of my life!
It was partly the name that grabbed me; my favourite stories at the time were folk and fairy stories collected from around the world by Ruth Manning Sanders. There was one volume dedicated to dragon tales and the foreword made it clear that "not all dragons want to gobble up princesses". I wanted a pet dragon so much, it would have become best friends with the imaginary dolphin that lived in our swimming pool.
If I'd had a dragon I'd easily have solved the problem of toasting on only one side of the bread, I'd hold the bread out to my dragon and he would have breathed out a gently lip of flame to make my toast golden brown.
Years later I found out Dragon Toast was a kid friendly version of Welsh Rarebit, and writing this it's only just struck me that calling it Dragon Toast was the Curiosity Show's boys joking around, the dragon is the national symbol of Wales. I made the acquaintance of several dragons during my overnight stay in Cardiff a few months ago (mainly of the architectural and chocolate type, but I'm sure the others were just off on holidays).
Now I use a variation I saw Jamie Oliver make: mix grated cheese, ricotta, an egg, mustard and pile onto a thick slab of freshly cut crusty Italian bread, grill, then top with Worcestershire Sauce.
It's a fantastic quick meal for brunch, lunch or even dinner, and just the thing to serve any dragons that happen to drop by.
And since today is Chinese Lunar New Year and it's the Year of the Dragon, you just might get the occasional dragon coming aknocking at your door!
Kung Hei Fat Choi everyone!

Whaka penny diver's biggest bounty was marriage to Maoridom's first Miss New Zealand
We catch John Waaka copping a bit of a growling.
It's from a real estate personage and, light as she keeps her tone, she does convey that eating rotten corn in his kitchen's a turn-off for possible house purchasers of the Pakeha kind. They don't understand, she scolds.
Anyone who's ever smelt rotten corn understands, it smells like, well, rotten corn and John Waaka's a connoisseur.
He would be, wouldn't he? He's Whakarewarewa born and bred, a village where rotten corn's a universal delicacy, so there to picky Pakeha.
Our People wasn't intentionally ear-wigging on his ticking off, John had his mobile's speaker on and he was responding with that cheeky "Maori dude" giggle that has us speculating that perhaps it was John Waaka who was Billy T James' role model for that classic chortle of his.
As for the rotten corn, John's unrepentant; the possible lost sale? No worries, another buyer has come along, a non-Pakeha, so now he can "sling the mattress in the back of the van" and take his long-planned road trip through the country he's driven tourists around for a good slice of his working life.
Tourism's embedded in his bloodline. He's the son of Kuru Waaka, founding director of the Maori Arts and Crafts Institute (now Te Puia) and was a Whaka penny diver from the second he was old enough to jump into the Puarenga Stream to stuff his mouth with coins tossed from the village bridge.
"We grew up running around the tourists' feet, diving, collecting their entry money for the village families, some of that would manage to come our way; these were nice little earners for us kids."
John's had a few 'nice little earners' in his time but claims his biggest and best bounty was one money couldn't buy, marriage to his wife of 50 years, former district councillor, the late Maureen Waaka (nee Kingi).
He proposed the night before she left for London to represent New Zealand at the 1962 Miss World pageant, the first Maori to do so.
"I knew she was a celebrity but she'd always been my beauty queen. I chased her until she caught me . . . I took her for this moonlit dinner, popped the question, she hummed and harred, eventually said 'yes, but don't say anything until I get back'. Then what does she do? She goes and blabs about us in London."
Maureen was still at school when the pair met at the St Faith's Youth Club.
"She fell in love with my motorbike . . . she was 21 when we got engaged, me 23. When we told our fathers they said if our's had been an arranged marriage like the old days they'd have matched us."
Our laugh-a-minute conversation comes to a sombre halt with John's revelation Maureen suffered the stroke that claimed her life the day after their golden wedding anniversary, June 15, 2013. John misses her "big time".
To cheer us both up we rewind to his pre-marriage days, starting with why, at 14, he was told he was wasting his time at the then Rotorua High School.
He blames the school for consigning him to Form 3C.
"I hadn't been too bad at Whaka [school], not the brightest, not the worst, but the first day at high school they called out my name for 3C, I knew I was better than that, felt short-changed, lost interest."
His dad used his connections to have his son enrolled at Hodderville, the Salvation Army's training farm near Putaruru.
Two years on John became a rural cadet on Gore's outskirts, but homesickness kicked in.
He was found a job at Fletcher's Ngongotaha mill "but I was always late for work, the boss said 'boy, look for a job nearer Whaka".
That job was in the neighbouring FRI's seed nursery.
"They were on the lookout for people to collect pinecone seeds in the forest, I put my hand up, ended up at Wairapakau near Kaingaroa."
Along came another nice little earner. "Working in pairs we were clearing £30 a week at the time the going rate for most people was £12."
Work at a Wairoa sheep station followed. "Then I got thrown off this horse, broke my bloody back, ended up coming home on a stretcher. The doc said I wouldn't have lasting damage."
He hasn't and, once recovered, turned to delivering soft drinks and tanker driving.
"Next I got this job with the Ministry of Ag [MAF] doing disease control for brucellosis and TB. In 10 years we'd cleaned it all up - worked ourselves out of a job."
John being John the work brought a lucrative sideline; trapping possums for survey purposes was part of his job description, only a few were needed but the area was riddled with them.
"We could lay a line, get 100 a night, easy."
John 'happened to know a fella out Western Heights way' willing to take the extras off his hands for 75 cents a body.
"We'd be handed cash in an envelope by his wife who actually worked for IRD."
That Billy T laugh erupts again.
"At Christmas we invited the MAF big-wigs to a party, put on plenty of kai and booze. They had a wonderful time, no one thought to ask where the money came from."
When he became 'surplus to MAF's requirements' he turned to tour bus driving.
"I'd got my passenger licence before I delivered soft drinks but Road Services wouldn't take me on because of my back injury. A lot of guys had a scheme going playing on crook backs for payouts."
Attitudes changed, John drove tour buses until shortly before Maureen's death, moving on to tour vans, principally for cruise boat passengers. He hung up his keys in April to plan his own road trip.
There's a whopping great chapter of John Waaka's life we've left unexplored, it's the decades he spent at the forefront of hotel hangi and concert parties. He and Maureen led the Rotorua International Entertainers seemingly forever, a time which generated a host of requests to perform overseas.
"I've always said if you can poke out your tongue you can see the world."
Born: Rotorua, 1940.
Education: Horohoro and Whaka primaries, Rotorua High, Hodderville Training Farm.
Family: Widower, one son, five daughters. Mokopuna? "Heck, ask me an easy one."
Interests: Whanau, people, Maori music "I want to set up an archiving office." Cooking (his brawn's legendary). "My mother taught me." Fishing, involvement in numerous trusts.
On tourism today: "It hasn't really changed, just become more sophisticated."
Personal philosophy: "Live life."

Throw a Murder Mystery Party Fundraiser for Your Group
If your church group or civic organisation needs to raise funds, there are many traditional ways to do so. They could hold a bake sale, a car wash or simply go to their groups and ask for more donations. However, a unique way to get money for your group would be to hold murder mystery party games Melbourne, Victoria residents could attend.
How to Raise Money with Mystery Games
There are several ways to raise money using murder mystery party games. Your group could ask guests at the party for a suggestion donation at the door or you could use one of the games' themes and create a casino night that fits in with it. The Caribbean Cruise game or the Tracy Gang 1920's murder mystery would go well with a casino night in which funds could be raised for your organisation.
Part of the evening could be dedicated to the game or the game could be hosted in another room while other guests played poker, craps or blackjack. To add to the fun, your guests could dress in the theme of the game and play characters like gangsters, pirates, cruise guests or gun molls.
How Many Could Play?
The murder mystery party games are designed for as little as 2 players or as many as 120 players. The games come with scripts, cards and other materials needed to play the game and there are versions for up to 60 players or 120 players. If you know the murder mystery party will draw more people to the fundraiser, than you can play the game more than once that night. The game only takes about two hours total to play.
What Ages are Eligible to Play?
The murder mystery party games can be played by anyone who is at least 11 or older. If your group has older children, then they can participate in the fundraiser and you could have a separate game running just for the younger crowd to entertain themselves. The adults in your group could have their own party going in another area, but still keep an eye on their kids.

To Host or Not to Host
Rather than be stuck on the sidelines directing the game, you and the others in charge of your organisation could play by hiring a host for your game. There are several murder mystery party hosts available for hire in most of the metro areas in Australia. You could even hire a local theatrical group to help entertain guests and keep the game running smoothly.
If you choose to play the Hollywood murder mystery game, you don't have to look anywhere else for party decorations. There are several options for decorations from the company who created the murder mystery party games. You can get a red carpet for your actors to walk on, wall signs or posters to decorate the room for the night. If you do pick a different game to play, most party stores will have decorations that you can use for the event.

Many people use the murder mystery party games Melbourne, Victoria to raise funds for their favourite charities. They ask for donations at the door and give the money to support any charity of their choice. It is a good excuse to gather friends, colleagues and family to have fun and raise money for a good cause.

Sir George's Committee closes Sinn Fein loophole on Register of Interests
27 Mar 2002
Standards and Privileges
Motion made, and Question proposed,
That this House approves the Sixth Report of the Committee on Standards and Privileges (House of Commons Paper No. 624), Registration of Interests by Members who have not taken their seat, and resolves that its provisions should come into force three months after the date of this Resolution.—[Jim Fitzpatrick.]
Sir George Young (North-West Hampshire): Mr. Speaker, I can introduce the Standards and Privileges Committee's report very briefly. The House will recall that, on 18 December, we debated a Government motion to allow Members who had chosen not to take their seats to use the facilities of the House and to claim certain allowances. In answering an intervention from the hon. Member for Sheffield, Hillsborough (Helen Jackson) during that debate, the Leader of the House said:
"The motion will enable the four Sinn Fein Members to make an entry in the register. They are not required to do so under the rules, which provide that Members shall be obliged to make an entry only within three months of taking their seat. If that disappoints Opposition Members, I can give them the assurance that the motion will bring the four Sinn Fein Members within the scope of the remit of"
the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards,
"who will be able to apply the code of conduct."—[Official Report, 18 December 2001; Vol. 377, c. 158.]
When the House reassembled after Christmas, the right hon. Member for Upper Bann (Mr. Trimble) and other Ulster Unionist, Conservative, Labour and Liberal Democrat Members made representations to me to the effect that it was unacceptable for the four Sinn Fein Members to be exempted from the requirement to register their interests. I told the right hon. Gentleman that the Standards and Privileges Committee would look into the matter.
The Committee sought authoritative advice from the Clerk of the House, who explained succinctly the position of the four Members vis-à-vis the rules of the House, and made a practical suggestion for ending the anomaly that the debate of 18 December had brought to light. His memorandum is published with our report.
I should explain to the House that Members who, for whatever reason, have not taken their seat are still Members of this House. The code of conduct and the rules on registration and declaration of interests apply to all Members of this House, whether or not they have taken their seat. However, the rules are so worded that Members have three months from taking their seat to comply with the requirement to register their interests. So a Member who does not take his seat is not exempt from the requirement to register, but is, in effect, given an unlimited period within which to do so.
We propose that the rules be changed, so that Members have to register within three months of their election. For the vast majority, that will reduce by about a week the time available to complete and return the registration form. I doubt whether that will cause them any inconvenience.
I am entirely content with the proposition on the Order Paper that Members of the current Parliament who have not taken their seat should have three months' grace in which to put their affairs in order, although I understand that three of the four Sinn Fein Members have already completed and returned their registration forms. Their entries will be included in the next update of the register, which is available in the Library and will be available on the internet in a few days' time. I commend my Committee's report to the House.

As VP-interactive media research and planning for MTV Networks, Ms. Del Sesto spends much of her time trying out videogames and watching music videos.
That's fine with her bosses at MTV and its parent company Viacom International, both of which have big plans for interactive media.
"Basically, I'm paid to think like a consumer," says Ms. Del Sesto, who is 33, but looks like she's from the younger end of MTV's 12-to-34-year-old audience.
"This is an industry being driven by a lot of technological experts, but a lot of these people aren't stopping to ask consumers what they want. What is it about a medium that they are looking for? What is it about interactivity that will create a benefit for them? And how much they're willing to pay for that experience," explains Ms. Del Sesto from an office overflowing with interactive video gadgets and CD-ROM players.
"We're approaching this business as if it is consumer-driven, not technology-driven."
Ms. Del Sesto's background, in fact, is in research, not technology. She was formerly director of research for MTV and also served as director of strategic planning for WGBH-TV in Boston.
Working closely with Viacom New Media, a corporate entity that's overseeing Viacom's work in interactivity, Ms. Del Sesto is helping to develop interactive applications for new and existing Viacom properties, including videogames and multimedia.
This spring, for example, Viacom will roll out a Nintendo videogame adaptation of Nickelodeon's successful "Rocko's Modern Life" animated series, and in the fall will introduce a videogame version of MTV's red-hot "Beavis and Butthead" for Nintendo and Sega.
"Both of these games are very close to the TV shows in terms of their graphic look. `Beavis and Butthead' is crudely drawn just like the cartoon on the TV show," says Ms. Del Sesto, adding, "The game does not suck, but to exit the game, you have to hit a button that says `Sucks.'*"
Ms. Del Sesto conducted research for MTV Networks' planned test of home shopping on MTV, VH:1 and Nick at Nite, but will not have a direct role in the implementation of the test. If results are encouraging, MTV will launch a free standing home shopping channel next year.
Ms. Del Sesto also is a key player in developing consumer insights for Viacom and AT&T's interactive test bed in Castro Valley, Calif.
"We're looking at a lot of ways that can enable people to get more out of MTV. The same thing with Nickelodeon. How can we take the idea of Nickelodeon and really make it interactive with kids?" Ms. Del Sesto says.
However, she says an equally important mission is to determine what remains traditional, passive analog media.
"One of the things to realize about interactivity is that people will want to do it, but they will also still want to sit and just watch TV," she explains. "Basically, we're trying to figure out what the balance should be."
Much of Ms. Del Sesto's insights come from traditional marketing techniques for surveying consumers, as well as some unusual ones, including MTV's own online bulletin board, Plug In To MTV.
Currently, the CompuServe bulletin board has 75 members, including a southern California high school class.
When not traveling the information highway or playing videogames, Ms. Del Sesto says she spends much of her time watching TV, particularly MTV.
"I've been watching MTV five hours a day anyway, so I figured I might as well get paid for it," she says.
Among Ms. Del Sesto's favorite videogames are Tetris, Minesweeper and Echo the Dolphin, but she says she recently had to erase the games from her home computer.
"It was either that or my marriage," she admits.

In Twisted Metal 3, Auger would be driven by a construction worker named Buster Cobb. Buster would enter the Twisted Metal contest for revenge against the contestants who destroyed his smooth roads and left his buildings in rubble.
When Auger wins the tournament, his wish is to reveal his inner child. Calypso grants his wish by turning him into a baby.
[edit] Character Profile
"I've spent my whole life building what those Twisted Metal jerkies destroy in 20 minutes. They've torn up my smooth roads and left my buildings in rubble. I'll happily drill six foot graves for all my opponents!"
[edit] Vehicle Stats
Handling: Sluggish
Armor: 4
Special Weapon: 4
Speed: 1
[edit] Special Weapon
Auger's special weapon would be the drill on the front of his vehicle. Using his drill, Auger will impale his enemy on his drill before he sends them flying.
[edit] Twisted Metal 4
Auger would return in Twisted Metal 4 as a boss for the Oil Rig level, alongside Mr. Slam. It is not known if Buster Cobb is controlling Auger, or if it is another driver. He would be renamed as Super Auger
His Special Attack would be the same as it was in Twisted Metal 3. Using his drill, Auger will impale his enemy on his drill before he sends them flying.

Campus novels are not uncommon; novels about writers even less so. But Michael Collins has here produced an excellent novel, by incorporating a striking crime thriller theme into this self-consciously literary setting.
The title character is a literature professor at Bannockburn College, a once-famous writer whose punk-like attitude helped bring about a decline in his career to the point where a meeting with an old friend who is still a best-selling author drives him to a suicide attempt. While he remains near death, a postgraduate student from the English department discovers a lost novel in his home, published decades ago by a now defunct vanity press and apparently so thoroughly forgotten that it no longer appears on Pendleton's CV. Intrigued, Abi begins to read it, and is impressed by what turns out to be a first person narrative daringly written from the point of view of a child killer. She eventually manages to get Scream published, and it becomes a best-seller as well as restoring Pendleton's literary reputation. But then a few people begin to realise that the crime depicted bears a close resemblance to a real cold case from local area.
Considered as a crime thriller, The Secret Life of E. Robert Pendleton moves at a glacially slow pace. It will, however, retain the interest of a genre fan because of the idea behind the plot. The extra space is used to include elements from literary fiction, particularly to develop the characterisation of Abi. The themes of the novel seem to be the way that bad choices come back to haunt us, and the relationship between fiction and reality - does Pendleton's depiction of the crime in Scream make him the criminal, someone who spoke to the criminal, or someone with a imagination unfortunately too close to that of the killer?
A touch of patience from thriller fans will be well rewarded. There are some fantasic scenes, such as the interrogation of another author and academic by the police, where he deconstructs the questions as though they are texts relating to an academic study of the philosophy of crime genre fiction.
All the main characters in The Secret Life are failures of one sort or another, at least in their own eyes, and are generally not at all reconciled to being so. There is the perennial student, the once fêted writer who cannot maintain his early promise, the writer who pursued commercial success and despises himself for it, the policeman unsatisfied by his second marriage, not to mention the people originally suspected of the murder, none of whom have done anything with their lives. They are not particularly likeable, either, which is something which usually makes it harder for me to enjoy a book; but this time, it did not, because of the interest of the idea and the complexity of the characters (who do at least have sympathetic traits as well).
The title is one of the poorest parts of The Secret Life of E. Robert Pendleton, being long, awkward, and unmemorable, as well as saying little about the themes of the novel. It has also been published as Death of a Writer, which is misleading and not very good either. A couple of minutes' thought suggested A Murder in Fiction, but I think that with only a modicum of effort, this too could be bettered.
My rating - 8/10.

Hamlet: Prince of Denmark
Oftentimes, the mark of a great work of literature is how well the piece is able to receive criticism. Hamlet seems to elicit criticism even to this day. While attitudes towards the play have changed over the many years, critics continue to study the play in order to determine the reasons behind Hamlet's delay for revenge and whether Hamlet was truly insane or not. The central themes of the play concentrate on the nature of man and his eventual death. The reader will be challenged to question how easily people are able to transfer their affections between objects and persons. Hamlet's famous soliloquy focuses upon the gravity of suicide. Also, the reader should study carefully Hamlet's rudeness toward Ophelia and his apparent lack of concern for the fact that he was cheated out of the kingship by his uncle. All of these questions make Hamlet timeless as a study in mystery.

Students must meet all requirements in section (a) (1) (4) to be eligible for the exemption. a.

The Student Success and Support Program supports the transition of new students into the college by providing them services that promote academic achievement and successful completion of degrees, transfer preparation, career technical education certificates, or career advancement. Based on student responses to the Rio Hondo College Application for Admission, students self-identify as either matriculating or non-matriculating. Students identified as matriculating are referred to core services: assessment, orientation, and counseling. Students must complete assessment and orientation in order to receive priority registration. They also need to develop an educational plan which can be accomplished by enrolling in a counseling course, attending an educational planning workshop, or by scheduling an appointment with a counselor. Non-matriculating students are exempt from participating in core services, but they are advised to access these services if they decide to pursue a degree or certificate. The Student Success and Support Program is the process responsible for bringing together the college and a student, who enrolls for credit, into an agreement for the purpose of realizing the student s educational goals through the college s established programs, policies, and requirements. The primary purpose of the Student Success and Support Program is to enhance a student s success at the college. A student is expected to participate in these services unless the student requests an exemption from a particular service. Exemption forms may be obtained in the Counseling Department. All students are strongly encouraged to participate in the process. Military Veteran students must participate in all matriculation components as required by the Veterans Administration (VA). Components of Matriculation Matriculation is composed of the following steps designed to enhance student success: 1. Admission to the college 2.

The AOA process is an effort by Rio Hondo College to provide the student with the finest academic advisement and counseling possible. Students are encouraged to meet with a counselor within the first six weeks of enrollment at the college.

A life without books is a very hollow existence indeed. Nothing else has the power to make me laugh out loud, cry like a baby, or scream in rage like reading a book can. I am open to all genres and am willing to give almost anything a try, even if it's outside my normal scope. My faves are thrillers/suspense but I am also into paranormal, drama, chick lit and YA. This is my first blog, so forgive my ignorance and if you see something I can improve, do tell. :)
I read Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson and the stark truth and searing emotion of the book really tore me to pieces. I haven't yet cracked the cover of The Impossible Knife of Memory (and yes I am reading the hardback, not on my Nook HD+). I have so much anticipation about this book. I really hope it makes me feel, not just process. Here we go!!!
