Fort Myers, FL, United States (AHN) – Norman Love Confections knows the secret to sweet success.

The Florida-based chocolatier has been named the best chocolate in the United States, for the sixth time, by Consumer Reports in its February issue–just in time for Valentine’s Day.

Norman Love makes about 30,000 chocolates by hand every day at its Fort Myers facility. In awarding the company top honors, the magazine cited “the combination and the blending of the chocolate with the fillings.”

The chocolate shop is expanding with fresh gelato and bakery selections. The company also plans to take full advantage of its location, which is very close to the Red Sox spring training stadium.

Even better, Love plans to open more retail locations in the future.

New York, NY, United States (AHN) – Blame it on the butter.

Maxim magazine has named 64-year-old Southern chef Paula Deen as its “Hottest Female TV Chef,” saying man cannot resist her rich comfort food.

According to the editors, “Deen’s devotion to the art of down-home, fat-laden cooking filled them with a lust for life.”

Deen, a diminutive, grey-haired Southern champion in the kitchen, beat out several younger chefs including the stunning Giada de Laurentis and Padma Lakshmi.

Deen has a heavy hand with butter when she cooks and frequently says that everything is better with butter. Apparently that is enough to melt men’s heart.

Ottawa, Ontario, Canada (AHN) – In a bid to cut lines at Canadian airports, the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority relaxed some security rules for air passengers.

CATSA allowed travelers to bring in their hand carry bags small manicure scissors and eyeglass screwdrivers. However, the items should not exceed 6 centimeters (2.4 inches) in length, excluding the handle.

The two items were allowed in line with recommendations of the International Civil Aviation Organization. But the existing ban on liquids, gels, aerosols and Swiss Army knives stays.

Airports will provide new dedicated lanes for families and travelers with special needs.

The gateways would also have security equipment to accommodate larger items such as baby strollers. There would also be new lines for frequent travelers with pre-approval under the Nexus card program.

Transport Minister Chuck Strahl said the changes were made in response to feedback from the traveling public, while ensuring sufficient aviation safety for air passengers, and after a review of CATSA regulations.

Los Angeles, CA, United States (CNS) – Finally, a Michael Jackson game to replace our “Moonwalker” for Sega Genesis games. “Michael Jackson The Experience” isn’t the first MJ video game, but it’s definitely the best. Featuring over a dozen of Jackson’s biggest hits, as well as some pleasantly surprising rarities (‘Streetwalker”!), “The Experience” is one fans of the King of Pop will want to repeat over and over again.

First, let’s talk about the songs. “Thriller” is here, “Bad” is here, so is “Billie Jean.” The game characters, which resemble Jackson and his dancers, are placed into digital landscapes reminiscent of their music video counterparts. Some other fan favorites are here, including “Ghosts” from “Blood on the Dance Floor” (though the title track is missing) and “Speed Demon” off “Bad.”

The only problem with the track listing are some of the omissions. I would’ve traded the way-too-slow grooves of “The Girl Is Mine” for “P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing) and both slow jams “Heal the World” and “Will You Be There” need not be present (we’d drop “Heal the World”). And it’s also as if 2001′s “Invincible” never happened and at least the inclusion of first single “You Rock My World” and its choreography would’ve been nice.

Now as for game play, you have to follow Jackson’s sequined glove along with your remote and make sure you’re doing the same hand motions. Yes, the rest of your body is supposed to be gliding and striding along with the rest of Jackson’s moves, but it really only grades the movement of your right hand, which means you don’t have to have any previous dance training. Hell, you probably don’t even have to be mobile. But when you are actually dancing along with Michael, you’d be hard-pressed not to break into sweat.

The characters, created in Jackson’s likeness, are a little faceless but it’s not too distracting. The dancers who have been digitally recreated into the game are killing that choreography (in a good way) and even offer unlocked tutorials once you get further into the game to really help you follow the moves step by step.

If you’ve ever dreamed of dancing alongside Michael Jackson, well you’ll have to wait a bit more for that. While the Wii version is nice, the upcoming versions for the Xbox Kinect and the Playstation Move will be enhanced with even more features, including full-body dance move assessment and having players virtually transported into the game with Michael.

So if Michael Jackson’s music already gets you moving, “Michael Jackson The Experience” for Wii offers players the chance to work it out like MJ in his videos and performances, while possibly getting a work out from it too. Recommended.
