'Don't be discouraged by a failure. It can be a positive thing. Failure is, in a sense, the highway to success, inasmuch as every discovery of what is false leads us to seek earnestly after what is true, and every fresh experience points out some form of error which we shall afterwards carefully avoid.' John Keats.
I'd like to see if we could have a bit of a discussion about the 'dimensions of failure'. The group have already produced some work on what these are and I will share them with people shortly. But I'd be keen to see, with a blank slate, if we get further confirmation of what we have or even new ideas. Try starting with:
Failure is...
[one example from our list] ...pain.
Tags: dimensions, failure, glory, keats, pain, positive, value
I saw this.. and thought of this..Michael Landy is creating an exhibition about Failure.
Its really + that we are exploring the 'positives' about failure. However, let's acknowledge and respond to to the challenge that while a 'failure' may be a learning opportunity for the confident and validated individual ( a description of us as RSA fellows?) it often doesn't seem so for the more marginalised members of society

SXSW 2012 Recap
March 27, 2012 by Daniel J Russo
Filed under Featured, In The News
With everyone from the Ardent camp back home and the dust settling, let's take a look back at all things Big Star at SXSW.
From the press:
"…with the presentation of a Big Star documentary and a symphonic concert celebrating the band's music. Playing opposite much-anticipated festival sets by Bruce Springsteen, and various other big names, the Big Star event managed to pack the city's Paramount Theatre, and generate a rare buzz amid the din and clatter of this massive industry gathering.
"…Such labyrinthine twists provide the ballast for "Big Star: Nothing Can Hurt Me." The 93-minute documentary, by New York filmmakers Drew DeNicola, Olivia Mori, and Danielle McCarthy, was screened as a "work in-progress" version at the Paramount. Still, the film was a powerfully evocative piece, eliciting a standing ovation at its conclusion."
- Bob Mehr for The Commercial Appeal
"Ambitious in scope, Nothing Can Hurt Me digs into deeper contexts than the average music doc, encompassing Chilton's pre-Big Star musical pedigree as the face and voice of the Box Tops; the mentoring influence of engineer-producers John Fry and Jim Dickinson; the clubhouse atmosphere at Fry's Ardent Studios; the band's connection to photographer William Eggleston and other artists; Ardent's historic 1973 promotional stunt, the first-and-last Annual National Association of Rock Writers Convention; the decline of Big Star's would-be distributor, Stax Records; the post-Big Star solo careers; and a busy culture of reissues, reunions, and homages."
- Leah Churner for The Austin Chronicle
"The movie is brilliant—a boon to Big Star fans, as well as an indispensible primer for anyone who ever has wondered what artists such as the dB's, R.E.M., Matthew Sweet, the Bangles, the Replacements, Teenage Fanclub, This Mortal Coil, the Posies and literally thousands of others found so inspiring.
"The second half of Big Star Tribute Night was just as fulfilling as the band's last surviving member, drummer Jody Stephens, and long-time fans Chris Stamey and Mitch Easter led a large ensemble complete with Mellotron, horns, string section and a parade of guest vocalists through a rendition of Big Star Third/Sister Lovers in all of its soul-wrenching sloppiness and haphazard perfection.
"The procession of cameos included some big names—R.E.M.'s Peter Buck, the Replacements' Tommy Stinson, Wilco's Pat Sansone, M. Ward and of course Posies and latter-day Big Star members Ken Stringfellow and Jon Auer—but just as valuable were the contributions of many younger and lesser-known musicians who've passed through Stamey's recording studio in Chapel Hill, N.C. All of them clearly loved the album and poured all they had into songs beloved by fans who never thought they'd get to hear them live: the rousing 'O, Dana' and the despondent 'Holocaust,' the frightening 'Kangaroo' and the furious 'Kizza Me,' all building up to a 'We Are the World' sing-along on the perfect tune to stand as the band's epitaph, 'Thank You Friends.'"

County officials believe that would increase the average residential rate from $11.50 to more than $18 a month.

Huntington Town Supervisor Frank Petrone has declared a disaster emergency as of noon Friday.
The decision, made at a morning meeting at Town Hall, calls for the implementation of the town's disaster preparedness plan aouthorizing fire, rescue, emergency services and all other relevant town departments to take action to provide necessary assistance to protect public health and safety, according to a town press release.
"I am making this declaration now to underscore the importance of preparing for this storm and its aftereffects," Petrone said. "Now is the time for everybody to secure loose objects, ensure that they have adequate supplies of food and water, that they have fueled their vehicles and that they have made plans about how they will communicate with loved ones. As the storm progresses, I ask people to consider this motto: Be aware, be prepared and be safe."
Officials from the incorporated villages of Asharoken, , Northport and are calling on residents of shore areas to consider evacuating well in advance of Hurricane Irene reaching Long Island, according to the release.
Petrone warned residents in along the shore and those who live in low-lying areas to consider evacuation because of possible road washouts. "Once the storm begins, they, and everybody else, should stay off the roads."
Town Information Officer A.J. Carter said the the Red Cross will open a shelter at Walt Whitman High School at 10 a.m. Saturday. If necessary, the town will open the Village Green Center as a staging area and free bus service until 7 p.m. tomorrow for persons who cannot get to Whitman.
Carter said town officials will continue to monitor the situation with future decisions depending on the track of the storm now bearing down on the North Carolina coastline.
"We are trying to figure out now what is the time to open our emergency operations center," said Carter. "That's the supervisor's decision."
Huntington's emergency communications facility, located in the General Services Building on Pulaski Road near Huntington Farms, is equipped with state-of-the-art communications technology to handle emergency situations.

At age 80, French-Swiss director Jean-Luc Godard still commands attention from the worldwide league of cineastes, to become, perhaps, even a household name with his "Lifetime Achievement" Oscar in 2010. His latest foray, Film Socialisme, is a sometimes screaming collage of daring, dense and demanding references to the tragedies of late 20th century politics, economics and film history. Structured as a "symphony in three parts," he looks for meaning as a concerned European behind longtime existential angst for our rootless times. Å disco-gambling cruise ship on the Mediterranean sets the overall stage, then moving to a family gas station with a pet llama, the film becomes a dizzying montage (revisiting the famous Odessa Steps sequence of Eisenstein), along with some Hollywood-bashing. Using a variety of digital imagery including pristine HD footage and pixilated cell phone recordings, multi-layered soundtracks, and trademark use of fragmented subtitles, he returns again to the cruise ship.
Conservative critics who desire straight, traditional narratives were upset at its Cannes (Un Certain Regard) screening last year, while the broad majority of viewers accepted its experimental status. No doubt, as the irascible onetime French New Waver (Breathless, and his other 1960's films that changed way films are made) is still in the running in the 'most influential' directors derby, this first film of his in seven years will be hard to avoid.

Album I can't live without: AK-79

The album I can't live without
I can remember my first local gig. It was a Labour Weekend Saturday night in 1979 at Mainstreet: Four bands for $5.
We were fired up with the punk explosion but had missed out on the whole Zwines thing and were desperate to see local live bands we were reading about.
Despite being a year underage we decided to try and sneak in. A bundle of nerves the guy took our cash without comment and we were in.
Mainstreet was a lovely old place with an upstairs balcony and a bunch of couches around the dance floor. We chose a couch to be near the action and drank in the scenery.
A sudden flurry of noise alerted us to art theatre punks The Plague who were on stage with their unusual music. It seemed like they were all playing in different bands but some how it seemed to work. Sadly my only enduring memory of them was they were bouncing an inflatable beach ball back and forth during one number. A talented bunch though who would later provide key members for many New Zealand bands.
Next up left a black hole in my memory. I can't remember anything about them which is both interesting and sad. Following them were Terrorways, one of the two reasons we were here. They played a sensational set packed full of energy that had us all up and pogoing. One of the guys I noticed was using a weird looking guitar. Sprinkled through the set were cover versions that had been sped up and terrorised. I loved them.
Last up was the prime reason for us being here: Phil Judd's new outfit The Swingers. Our age had denied the option of seeing Phil with Split Enz or punk scene leaders Suburban Reptiles so no way were we going to miss this.
Judd was with his Swingers trademark white Rickenbacker guitar and after a few short moments they were away. My friend and I stood there gobsmacked while Judd and crew played one sensationally brittle catchy pop song after another. Songs like Over the Teacups, One Good Reason, Yellow Sun, All Over Town, The Jinx, Certain Sound, Baby and Never Never. Unfortunately most of this era of the band would go unrecorded and would sadly soon be forgotten once Counting The Beat was released.
We were never the same after this - sneaking in to gigs on a regular basis - especially if the Swingers were playing.
A couple of months after that gig the compilation album AK-79 would be released.
It was amazing! A record I could listen to at home during the week full of local bands that I could go out and see playing live Thursday, Friday or Saturday. This was the first time this had happened for me as most of my music was from punk explosion in the UK at that point.
All participants had two songs each and that odd guitar I had noticed in the Terrorways was on the front cover.
The Terrorways' Never Been To Borstal and the wound up cover of She's a Mod were great live but on record they sparkled. The two Swingers songs Certain Sound and Baby were all fragile pop beauty. The menace of The Primmers on You're Gonna Get Done was countered by a reckless joy in slice of life mini-epic Funnie Stories. Proud Scum's I am A Rabbit was lewdly funny (and covered by the Lemonheads) and the tongue-in-cheek Suicide about a former band member was a bit close to the bone for some. The two tracks by the Scavengers (soon to be Marching Girls) are just amazing with True Love being my candidate for best New Zealand love song. The other, Mysterx, being a barb at a previous band member who went ran away from the punk circus to join the corporate world.
Over the years I have bought this album four times. The first in 1979 then in 1982 after a long search when the first one was played to death. Then came the CD with all those lovely extra tracks from the era and finally at the AK-79 reunion show 2008 a lavish double disc vinyl copy.

A cash-strapped Illinois little league is trying to stay afloat by combining two of America's favorite pastimes: baseball and guns.
The Atwood-Hammond league will raffle off a Rock River Arms AR-15 rifle to buy new equipment for its 12 teams. Sponsored by local sporting goods store the Atwood Armory, the fundraiser has already surpassed the $10 raised during last year's event thousands of times over. In previous years the league has attempted to raise funds by raffling off gift cards and a hog roast.
"It has been going gangbusters," Atwood Armony co-owner Charidy Butcher told the local TV station. "My phone has been ringing nonstop since 4:30 this morning. It's just been crazy."
"We could have went with a basic shotgun or something simple," league commissioner Steven McClain said. "Guns are super hot right now, they're extremely hard to get – we decided to go that route."


text: In her 20 years as a nurse, Kimberly Massetti has taken care of a lot of patients. However, when stomach pains ended up being ovarian cancer, Kimberly became a patient herself. Doctors performed surgery on the slow-growing cancer, and Kimberly was able to avoid chemotherapy and radiation. Two years later, she's doing great and looking for a way to help other patients. Kimberly decides to give the gift of relaxation to people undergoing chemotherapy at the Moffitt Cancer Center in the Tampa, Florida, area, and she quickly goes on an iPod shuffle shopping spree! Kimberly spends $900 on 10 iPod shuffles and another $100 on relaxing CDs to load onto the music players. Kimberly says the challenge helps her come "full circle" not only with her experience, but also with a family loss. Just a year ago, her father-in-law visited Moffitt once before passing away from a complication. "It's giving me some closure," she says. On the day of the giveaway, local television stations and newspapers flock to the clinic to cover the big event. The clinic operations manager says this small gesture can make a big difference for her patients, some of whom undergo six hours of treatment at a time. The patients are touched by Kimberly's gesture. "I thought, 'Well, what a great idea,'" one woman tells Kimberly. "Of course, I didn't realize that you had cancer and all. But just to think of us out here, that's wonderful." At the end of the day, Kimberly is ready for more! "I intend to do this every year at the holidays and keep that experience fresh and alive in my home," she says. "It's been fantastic." |

Look at a satellite image of Prince Edward Island and you'll see a lot of green. Of course: this is the "Garden Province." But even within the green are specially designated lands that honour and preserve the natural wonders. National, provincial, and community parks. Many are for day-use, while others include campgrounds. Some offer interpretive programs related to the local wildlife, or host special events. Trails abound. They include some of our most popular beaches. Open spaces for outdoor sports, picnics, exploration, and leisurely walks are plentiful. Our Provincial Parks dot the coastline, offering beach access and some unforgettable views of the surrounding waters. Some include museums and heritage sites. In 2012, the Prince Edward Island National Park celebrated its 75th anniversary with a series of special programs and events. Stretching across 60 kilometres of the North Shore, the park includes seven supervised beaches, as well as cultural treasures such as the Green Gables House and Dalvay-by-the-Sea National Historic Sites. Our parks are filled with wonders-protected, preserved, and available for all to share.

We thought "Thomas" ended the attempt to superimpose market-share liability on lawsuits concerning the former lead paint industry. Not so. On Pointoflaw.com, Walter Olson flags us that in the Maryland legislature a bill that would impose retroactive liability of that industry is being considered again. The last it had been was 2006. Then, the Maryland House Judiciary Committee voted it down.
On March 5th the bill again was considered by the House Judiciary Committee. An editorial in the BALTIMORE EXAMINER cites all the reasons we are familiar with for not allowing this to become law. Different versions of the bill ask, for example, to allow lead-paint plaintiffs to sue manufacturers without the need to show evidence of alleged injury from lead paint or that lead paint had actually been in their residences. There is also no cap on fees for plaintiff attorneys. That could mean and has meant in many class-action suits small pickings left over for the alleged and actual victims.
What we have to ask is: Why is this happening in Maryland, again? Is there something we should be reading into this about states' need for revenue at a time when property tax collections are down?
Reader input wanted. Please leave a comment or contact email@example.com.

Go Ahead and Think Simon Cowell Is Gay. He's Too Busy Being Straight to Care.
Despite gallivanting with all manner of beautiful ladies, Simon Cowell's sexuality seems to constantly be in question. Now the 53-year-old producer and reality-show mogul says it's cool if you think he's gay.
(Which, in case you don't know, is exactly how straight people who are totally comfortable with their own sexuality handle such things.)

A state run program allows children as young as 12-years-old to have condoms delivered to their home for free.
The tax payer funded program allows kids between the ages of 12 and 19 to get up to 10 condoms a month, mailed to their home, without parental permission.
The Condom Access Project targets counties with high numbers of sexual transmitted diseases among teenagers and the program just expanded to include Fresno and San Diego counties.
So far more than 30,000 condoms have been delivered across the Golden State.

Filed under: Change Agent, Instructional Leader | Tags: change, Educational Leadership, Homework, Learning, project based learning
I find myself constantly looking at practices in school and asking, "How will that change in a 1 to 1 setting?" A recent article by Bambi Betts entitled Do Your Homework got me thinking about how homework will change. Now, I understand that it won't change overnight, but I'm optimistic that it will be transformed. Let's start by getting rid of the term "homework". The name just doesn't seem appropriate for many reasons.
1. Let's replace "work" with something related to learning. While the tasks may not be easy, work just doesn't seem to be the right term. Students may be Skyping with peers or experts half way around the world, selecting online resources that help with their learning, recording instrumental rehearsals to playback and use to improve performance, creating producing screen plays, and other interesting activities.
2. Since the learning will take place anywhere, let's forget about "home". With portability the learning takes place anywhere. In the coffee shop, on the bus, in the mall, at the pool, at the vacation resort and various other places. Anyone have a interesting story on where students were learning?
3. The new term will somehow need to communicate that the activities will be less teacher driven, and more student driven. We talk a lot about student centered classrooms and how students will tailor design the learning experiences to fit their needs. If they think that they can reach the target by watching and responding to a podcast or Skyping with native Spanish speakers, then so be it. The learning principles that Betts mentions, "independent and unguided learning; that learners learn differently and at different paces…", support a student centered approach.
Betts goes on to say,
It would be student-driven as much as possible, increasingly so as students acquire the skill. Consider a 10-year old learning to play football. Does she limit herself to what the coach told her to practice? Over time, with increasingly less guidance, she learns what she needs to practice.
Anyone have ideas on new terminology?

What about calling it "practice"?
Great post, Blair! Thanks to Alan November's presentation at YIS a few weeks ago, I've been thinking about this a lot too. Have you seen this?
Reminds me a lot of this video Alan shared as well. We need to re-think the purpose of being together in the classroom, which should prompt a discussion on the purpose/process of outside of class learning as well.

Skelmorlie & Wemyss Bay Cancer Research UK Local Committee Plant Sale Saturday 11th
May - 11am to 4pm This event will take place in
the Skelmorlie Scout hut on Saturday 11th (11am - 4pm) and Sunday 12th

For many years there was a bonfire night in Wemyss Bay for Guy Fawkes night. It was one of the best in the Inverclyde area, but due to various circumstances there has not been one for a number of years now. wemyssbay.net ran an online poll to see if the support was there for bringing the event back to the village. The poll closed on the 9th November, 2001 with 50 votes cast and the results were as follows: Bring
back bonfire night in Wemyss Bay: 42 votes
(84%) This poll contained an additional question, which was to ask if you would be willing to help organise the event. While a clear majority would like to see bonfire night in Wemyss Bay again, only 5 people who voted said that they would be willing to help organise the event. |

Internationally-renowned geneticist wows Healthcare Academy, discusses profound impact genetic sequencing to have on personalized medicine
Dr. Jacob is featured in the Nova episode, Cracking Your Genetic Code, http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/body/cracking-your-genetic-code.html
The Healthcare Academy had the distinct honor of learning about genetics, DNA sequencing, and personalized medicine from Dr. Howard Jacob, the Director of the Human and Molecular Genetics Center at the Medical College of Wisconsin. Dr. Jacob and his colleagues at MCW were the first in the world to successfully map the sequence of DNA of a child and use the information to make a diagnosis and treatment plan. This remarkable accomplishment saved the life of the 6 year old boy, was highlighted by the National Institutes of Health, and has brought Dr. Jacob international acclaim.

Whether you call it a quadcopter, quadrocopter, quadrotor, UAV or (gasp) a drone, DJI's new GPS-equipped Phantom is certainly a nifty little radio-controlled aircraft. We first heard about the Phantom when it was officially launched this January and since then I've had a chance to try out the, uh – let's call it a quadcopter – for myself. Here's a quick look at my experiences with it, and I'll say this right now: the thing was more fun than a barrel full of flying monkeys. Read More
Starting in April, 2013, the Arlington Texas police department will have permission from the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration to fly two small helicopter UAVs over the city in certain situations, including taking crime scene photos or looking for missing persons. While these UAVs have been operating for some time, until now flights have been restricted to remote testing area. Read More
Here's something you don't see everyday: a Micro Unmanned Aerial vehicle (MAV) that can grab objects on the fly with all the elegance of an eagle snatching a fish from the water's surface. Although MAVs and UAVs are increasingly being equipped to pick up, transport, and drop off payloads, we've never seen this incredibly precise form of grasping on the fly replicated – until now. Read More
If you've ever watched a fly trying to find its way around a house, you might have noticed that it didn't take a particularly graceful approach – it probably bounced off a lot of windows and walls, until by process of elimination, it found a route that was clear. Well, researchers at Switzerland's EPFL Laboratory of Intelligent Systems are taking that same approach with the latest version of their autonomous AirBurr UAV – it's built to run into things, in order to map and navigate its environment. Read More
Earlier this week, Boeing's liquid hydrogen-powered Phantom Eye demonstrator successfully completed its second flight. While still well short of the four day flight time and 65,000 foot altitude Boeing says the aircraft is capable of, the second flight is a step in the right direction from the Phantom Eye's first flight that ended – not quite as successfully – on June 1, 2012. Read More
Following the first flight of its Phantom Eye in June of last year, Boeing has performed software and hardware upgrades in preparation for its second flight that will see it climb to higher altitudes. This week, the hydrogen-powered unmanned aircraft system made a significant step towards such a second flight with the completion of taxi testing at Edwards Air Force Base in California. Read More
Drones have become a valuable asset for any military force in recent years for both combat and surveillance. But while scanning a warzone from miles away is great from a tactical standpoint, unmanned aircraft can be just as useful in the hands of troops on the ground. That's why British soldiers in Afghanistan have been issued several Black Hornet Nanos, a palm-sized UAV that can scout around corners and obstacles for hidden dangers. Read More
Imagine if you had your own tiny quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that you could control with your voice, that would automatically follow you while avoiding obstacles, and that could shoot and stream video of you using an onboard camera. Now imagine that you paid less than 50 bucks for it. Well, if the hype is to be believed, that's just what tech firm Always Innovating is promising with its MeCam. Read More
Avoid snooping UAVs with a Stealth Wear hoodie
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs or "drones") are fast becoming an ever-present eye in the sky, potentially granting governments greater strike and surveillance capabilities than even Orwell's fictional Big Brother could hope to wield. In response, NYC artist Adam Harvey has created a series of garments which claim to reduce the effectiveness of UAVs. Read More
Three years ago, Swiss sensor manufacturer senseFly released its Swinglet CAM unmanned aerial vehicle. Priced around US$10,600, the little aircraft can follow a pre-programmed flight path or be piloted by remote control, and uses its built-in 12-megapixel camera to create aerial maps, or keep tabs on things like wildlife, crops and traffic. Now, based on its experiences with the Swinglet CAM, senseFly is about to release a new UAV known as the eBee. Read More

NEW YORK, N.Y. - Marine experts say a dolphin seen shaking black gunk from its snout after wandering into a polluted canal in New York may well have been ill before it lost its way and died.
The wayward dolphin splashed around in the filthy waters of the Gowanus Canal before it died Friday. The canal is a federally-designated environmental cleanup site, where for years factories and fuel refineries operated. It runs through an industrial zone near some of Brooklyn's wealthiest neighbourhoods.
Marine experts had planned to help the dolphin on Saturday morning if it didn't get out of the canal during high tide. They had decided to hold off intervening Friday because of the stress the dolphin might have experienced in being captured.
Experts plan to conduct a necropsy to determine cause of death.

Rate This RecipeThis is a great fudge. Similiar to the one sold at Disney World. I did make some changes. I added 12 oz of pineapple with the juice squeezed out and I used heavy whipping cream for rich flavor. The directions aren't specific enough for the inexperienced candy maker though. This fudge should be cooled til lukewarm without stirring. The trick it to not being crumbly is to beat it until it thickens somewhat and the color becomes duller and lighter than it was before you started beating it.
Perhaps one CUP, as the recipe calls for, instead of the can used, wouldn't yield a pan of sludge. You can't specify how long something cools for- ti's different depending on the temperature, humidity, etc. Cool is just... cool. LOL Please try the recipe again!
A VERY sweet fudge. Smells good while cooking. Seems to take forever to get to the softball stage though. And after it set, it was almost to the stage of crumbly.

949 | 22 | By Monica Matheny |
Last week I did a post about making a Game Day Popcorn Party Mix in team colors for a Super Bowl party. Today's post is about a similar party mix, with a few additions to make it festive and pretty for Valentine's Day or any "pink" party--wedding, baby girl, princess birthdays, etc. (The colors can be changed for other occasions.) This mix is delicious, easy, and the colors contribute to your party decorations. It's great for classroom party treats or to take to the office to share with co-workers. Serve it in a bowl, or put it in gift bags. This makes a fun gift or party treat or favor.
Step-by-step photos for making Pretty-in-Pink
Popcorn Party Mix
Step 1. Assemble the ingredients: popcorn (I used oil- and salt-free air-popped); white chips for melting (vanilla or white chocolate); semi-sweet chocolate chips for melting (not pictured); honey roasted peanuts, M&M's in red and pink (this Valentine's Day version is widely available in stores in February); coarse sea salt; decorating sprinkles (I used pink nonpareils and red coarse sugar); canola oil, food coloring (oil-based recommended; I used Wilton candy colors.).
In place of the white chips you can use pink Wilton candy melts that are already colored; although the colors aren't as vibrant. You can also omit the food coloring entirely--use plain white melted chips and rely on M&Ms and sprinkles to add color to the mix.
NOTE about food coloring. If you want to color melted baking chips or candy and maintain a thinner drizzling consistency, you need to use an oil based food coloring. This isn't commonly found in grocery stores. The more common water based food coloring will cause the melted chips to thicken to a paste. It can be used, but you have to assemble the mix differently. See my Game Day Popcorn Party Mix post for an explanation.
Step 2. Line a large baking sheet (mine is 13x18) with parchment or waxed paper. Spread 8 cups of popped corn on the baking sheet. It's easy to pop your popcorn in the microwave. Here's how:
View recipe for Homemade Plain Microwave Popcorn
Step 3. Sprinkle evenly with 1/2 cup honey roasted peanuts and 1/2 cup M&Ms.
Step 4. Add oil to chocolate and white chips. (Adding a small amount of canola or vegetable oil, gives the melted chocolate a smoother, glazy texture and appearance.) Add food coloring to the white chips, if desired.
Step 5. Melt them in the microwave using the method described here:
Click to view Melted Chocolate for Dipping and Drizzling Recipe
Step 6. Use a spoon to drizzle melted chocolate on top of popcorn mix.
Step 7. While the chocolate is still "wet", sprinkle it with coarse sea salt so the salt will stick. This makes a yummy sweet & salty taste combo.
Step 8. Next melt the pink-colored white chips; and drizzle the pretty melted mixture over the popcorn.
Now, it is "pretty-in-pink"!
Step 9. Before the pink drizzle hardens, sprinkle it with red sugar and pink nonpareils.
The sprinkles make the mix prettier, and also add some crunch.
Step 10. Let the mix harden completely and break it into pieces. The hardened melted chocolate serves as glue to hold the candies, nuts, and popcorn together.
Serve the mix in a bowl or on a platter.
For a party or buffet, make individual servings in cupcake liners.
This mix makes a great gift! Put the mix in cellophane bags or a jar. Add ribbons and tags to pretty it up. You can choose from 10 free Valentine's Day downloadable gift tags here:

Make sure you keep some for yourself. You deserve a sweet treat, too!
Make it a yummy day!

The $2-million project has been in the works for years
PETOSKEY, MI -- Work is complete on a new Petoskey Department of Public Safety fire station near the Bay Harbor development.
The new station will not only cut response times in half for homes in the area, but it could play a big role in cutting some insurance costs.
"I think it's going to seriously, seriously impact our response times which will be much, much better," explains Department of Public Safety Director John Calabrese.
A new Bay Harbor fire substation that has been in the works for several years is now complete in Petoskey. It will cut response times that use to take 10 to 12 minutes from the downtown station in half. Two trucks, including a 100-foot ladder, have moved from downtown and are standing by at the substation.
"Fires spread so quickly that just a two or three minute delay can really cause things to get out of control," says Calabrese.
With the cost of the new property and the building, the project cost about two-million dollars, but it could help local homeowners nearby. With its proximity, it could cut down on insurance costs.
Here's how: Along with several other factors, insurance companies look at how close fire services are to a home. Right now, there are homes in the Petoskey jurisdiction that are further than five miles from the downtown station. With the new substation, all homes will be within a five mile radius which could mean savings of hundreds of dollars a year on some homeowner premiums.
"Any new substation that helps protect from major losses in both property and life is going to benefit everybody," says Ashley Whitney, an insurer at Harbor-Brenn Insurance Agency.
And for homeowners in Emmet County who don't think it matters, it could. With quicker response, fewer insurance dollars put toward a claim can trickle down to mean more money in your pocket.
"Depending on what insurance companies they're with, the more you can prevent claim dollars from going out, the lower premium costs overall," explains Whitney.
Whitney says your best bet is to check with your insurance agent.

Hobby grows into a passion for RC enthusiast
Published: Sunday, September 15, 2013 at 7:30 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, September 15, 2013 at 7:30 p.m.
In May, 250 people showed up with RC cars, trucks, planes and helicopters for the first event at a new RC track at the Easton Newberry Sports Complex. Another 150 showed up for the opening of a second track on the Sunday before Labor Day for a track-only event at what has become the Newberry RC Park in the complex.
RC hobbyists are slowly discovering the free RC park through word of mouth, social media and flyers sent by HobbyTown to its customers. About a dozen plane and helicopter fliers show up during reserved times when fields or the gym are not being used for youth sports and people with RC cars and trucks come out on weekends, mornings, lunch hours and afternoons for the outdoor tracks that started with a city employee who wanted a place to practice his new hobby.
David Wallace, who works at the Newberry wastewater treatment plant, said he had a $5,800 tax return burning a hole in his pocket, so he walked into HobbyTown in Gainesville and bought his first RC car.
That was in February. He now has six RC vehicles - racers, rock crawlers and flyers - and has spearheaded the creation of the Newberry RC Park.
He formed a board of directors to apply for a $50,000 grant from the Florida Recreation Development Assistance Program to build a drivers' stand so the park can hold club racing events and generate revenue from concessions and race fees.
"I just got ate up with it," said Wallace, 47.
He said he likes the competition of racing, the "absolute tranquility" of flying and the build quality of scale crawlers.
Wallace also likes the social aspect of the RC hobby.
"It's not like it's one class of people. There are people involved I never would have come across in my normal life because I spend all my time playing golf," he said.
"It doesn't matter whether you're 3 or 83, we have people involved in it."
Wallace got permission from Newberry Recreation Director Richard Blalock to build the tracks. Four co-workers--Bucky Massamillo, Justine Coleman, Bo Renner and Vince Holt-- helped build the tracks on nights and weekends with equipment borrowed from city departments.
"I bought them all an RC for helping," Wallace said.
The first track was made of dirt and sand, the second of clay. Watson Construction donated 15 loads of clay, with additional funds for clay coming from Wallace and the park board, including President Eric Canto, owner of the HobbyTown in Gainesville.
Canto said if they don't get the recreation grant, they will still build the drivers' stand, it will just take longer.
To host official races, Wallace said they will also need lap timing equipment, which includes transponders that go on each car and transmit to a computer system.
"It costs about $4,500 so I'll have to wait for tax time when I get my refund."
Professional RC driver Tim Murray said he has seen the track grow leaps and bounds since he first started coming last May.
"I think it's a great track and I think it's an outstanding start," he said.
Murray, a Lake City resident, bought his first RC car five years ago and has been driving professionally for the past two years.
He said the fellowship of the sport is what keeps people coming back. Often drivers will give parts to one another, even when competing.
"You can't compete if you don't have somebody in the driveway. So maybe somebody will beat you with your stuff but at least they are racing you," Murray said.
RC pilots congregated under an awning close to the car tracks on Sunday. Pilots whirled their machines past one another, some flipping upside down as they soared past turns.
RC pilot Bobby Iafrate, who lives in Gainesville, comes to the Newberry park often to practice.
Iafrate said it can be hard to find open spaces to fly without other people around.
"It's just a fun hobby. I love doing it and I love getting attention from it," he said. He said the hobby has introduced him to network of people from Florida and Georgia who share his interests.

Diet as a Determinant of DNA Methylation: Potential Role in Cancer Disparities among Populations
Dr. Beverly D. Lyn-Cook, Sr. Research Biologist, FDA-NCTR, Div. of Personalized Nutrition & Med., Jefferson, AR
Dietary factors are becoming increasing important determinants in understanding the molecular mechanisms involved in the etiology of cancer development. The persistent disparities that exist among different ethnic groups, in relation to cancer death rates, warrants expanding research efforts in the role of nutrigenomics in cancer disparities. Ethnic group differences in critical dietary factors intake, in addition to other life-style or environmental factors, may play an important role in cancer biology. DNA methylation, an epigenetic process that affects heritable changes in gene expression without a change in DNA sequence, is now known to be modulated by dietary factors. Dietary factors may exert their effects in carcinogenesis through global hypomethylation, site-specific hypermethylation or histone modification. Earlier studies showed a mechanistic relationship between the lack of key nutrients and activation of oncogenes known to be involved in cancer development (Carcinogenesis 10:1869,1992). These studies led to numerous other studies showing the importance of DNA methylation and cancer. Our laboratory demonstrated in earlier studies, for the first time, a relationship between caloric intake and DNA methylation (Mutation Research, 295(4-6):281-289, 1993). The studies showed that obese animals, which were allowed to eat ad libitum, showed hypomethylated DNA and cells from these animals in culture had a high transforming rate compared to their restricted counterpart. Obesity is now considered a co-morbidity in the development of some cancers. Obesity is increasing in some populations and should be investigated further in playing a role in disparites in cancer deaths. We have further shown in earlier studies that components found in soy can affect methylation profile of specific oncogenes. Research is critically needed in understanding how various bioactive components found in food may have adverse or beneficial effects in individuals. A number of cancers have shown increased expression of DNA methyltransferases 1, 3a and 3b that may play critical roles in downregulating critical suppressor genes through hypermethylation. Recently we have targeted DNA methyltransferases as potential chemoprevention agents in pancreatic cancer. The importance of dietary factors as a determinant of DNA methylation will be discussed in relation to the potential role of critical nutrients in cancer disparities among populations.
