In Today's Political Climate, Business Community Must Lead
At the Council of Manufacturing Associations summer conference last week, National Association of Manufacturers President and CEO Jay Timmons called on the business community to lead in today's political climate.
At @namcma's summer conference, I had the pleasure of speaking with top business advocacy leaders. Our country feels more divided than united. Manufacturers have to be advocates for individual liberty and equal opportunity.
— Jay Timmons (@JayTimmonsNAM) August 12, 2019
Timmons urged business leaders to show Americans the good that their companies are doing in communities, rejecting discrimination and bigotry and doubling down on free enterprise and individual liberties.
The solution is not to go on the attack or get defensive, nor is it siding with one party over the other. There's dangerous thinking on both sides of the aisle. We have to show Americans the good our companies do every day. We're changing and saving lives.
— Jay Timmons (@JayTimmonsNAM) August 12, 2019
If we aren't advocates for individual liberty and equal opportunity, Americans will be drawn to those voices that don't share our values of free enterprise and competitiveness. We have to take the lead.

Greenbrier Companies Doubles Down on Sustainability
In a recent National Association of Manufacturers survey, 80 percent of manufacturers said they had a sustainability policy in place or were developing one. Freight railcar equipment designer and manufacturer The Greenbrier Companies is making strides through innovative sustainable design—from reducing railcar tare weight to efficiently building marine vessels.
"At Greenbrier, we pride ourselves on manufacturing among the most environmentally friendly forms of transportation while simultaneously improving our production processes and engineering designs," said Jack Isselmann, Senior Vice President, External Affairs & Communications. "This promotes long-term sustainability across the transportation and shipping industries."
These innovations present exciting opportunities for long-term progress. Greenbrier has introduced innovative railcar designs since 1985, beginning with the double-stack intermodal unit. Prior to its inception, the number of trailer-equivalent units per train maxed out at 120. With the ability to stack two units per railcar, that number quickly grew to over 200 units per train, saving space, time and money.
In addition, Greenbrier aims to make its operations more efficient by minimizing the weight and length of an individual railcar while simultaneously increasing its volume, allowing for more railcar units per train. Through a process called articulation—which reduces the weight of one railcar by making it share axles with another—Greenbrier is decreasing the space between railcars, ensuring that more may be included in trains and allowing for greater efficiency through a larger volume of transported products. Additionally, articulation increases braking efficiencies, which reduces fuel usage and greenhouse gas emissions.
"Manufacturers across the country are making operational changes that promote sustainability and prioritize our environment," said Laura Berkey-Ames, Director of Resources and Energy Policy at the National Association of Manufacturers. "With 12 million employees throughout all 50 states, the manufacturing industry understands the positive impact our sustainability efforts can have—and we are committed to setting an example for other industries nationwide."

NAM Launches New Climate Solutions Initiative
The Energy Advance Center will lead a multi-pronged effort to educate policymakers and advocate at the federal and state levels.
In the eyes of manufacturers, the need to act to preserve our environment and protect our planet is beyond question. That's why, for years, manufacturers across the country have taken steps to reduce pollution, invest in sustainable operations and protect the environment in their communities and across the globe.
Continuing in that effort, the National Association of Manufacturers unveiled a new strategic initiative designed to fight climate change, promote environmental sustainability and promote U.S. leadership in the development and deployment of new, transformational energy solutions. The recently announced Energy Advance Center will lead a multi-pronged effort to educate policymakers in Washington, D.C., and to advocate at the federal and state levels on the technical, economic and regulatory issues affecting the widespread deployment of technologies that help to capture harmful pollutants.
These methods and technologies, known collectively as Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS), are critical to reducing carbon dioxide emissions, enhancing U.S. energy security and competitiveness and maintaining U.S. leadership in the development and deployment of new, transformational energy solutions. With a footprint that is not just national, but global in scope, manufacturers are dedicated to developing, deploying and advancing technologies that promote carbon capture utilization, which is designed to collect and store waste carbon dioxide to mitigate global warming.
"The launch of the Energy Advance Center (EAC) is yet another example of manufacturers keeping our promise to drive economic growth while building a future with cleaner air and water and a healthier environment," said NAM Vice President of Energy and Resources Policy Ross Eisenberg. "CCUS is one of the most promising tools to address global climate change, and we're dedicated to developing this technology here in the U.S.—and to ensuring America continues to lead on this issue."
The NAM has previously supported wide-ranging, common sense solutions to support environmental protection, while also promoting economic growth. In addition to protecting and improving the environment, these technologies are expected to support the U.S. manufacturing sector and create jobs, demonstrating that productivity and sustainability are fully compatible with one another.
"We are excited to launch this new platform and continue to show that strong economic growth and responsible environmental stewardship can go hand in hand," said Eisenberg.
EAC expects to expand its efforts through additional strategic partnerships with other industrial sector groups that are working to promote smart, effective carbon management policies, using NAM's convening authority to collaborate on critical new programs and initiatives. And as manufacturers across the United States find new ways to improve their local and national environment, partnerships will become more useful and more effective.
"Manufacturers are leading the way on climate change," said Eisenberg. "This new initiative is just the latest opportunity to expand opportunities for the 12 million men and women who make things in America while also creating a more sustainable future."

Range Resources Gives Back With Butterfly Enhancement Project
"Habitat enhancement provides something the public can see and benefit from."
Natural gas producer Range Resources aims to better the environment with its new, unique habitat enhancement commitment. On land that once hosted sites related to natural gas development, Range Resources' Habitat Enhancement program is working to help animal pollinators in southwestern Pennsylvania like Monarch butterflies and honey bees by covering final reclamation sites with plants that are essential for them to thrive.
"We try to be good stewards in our community by supporting projects like these," said Jeremy Matinko, Range's Environmental Compliance Manager. "Habitat enhancement provides something the public can see and benefit from."
After surface operations have ended at a site, Pennsylvania regulations require the site to be restored to its original state. Range has pledged to exceed those expectations in post-drilling restoration, creating habitats that are more hospitable to wildlife than the previous environment. This project has involved planting thousands of Milkweed seeds, a plant that is vital to the survival of monarch butterflies because it provides a food source for caterpillars, and a seed mix that includes grass and wild flowers that support honey bees and other helpful insects. Beyond bringing pollinators back to southwestern Pennsylvania, the company is also creating aquatic features that can become homes for reptiles, amphibians and waterfowl.
According to the United States Department of Agriculture, about 35 percent of the world's food crops depend on animal pollinators to reproduce, but as a result of climate change and human living practices, the habitats of these pollinators have been on the decline. Range Resources' project aims to reverse that trend. Already, the impact of the program can be seen through the growth of a variety of pollinator plant species and the presence of butterflies, bees and other pollinators across these sites. And while Range Resources is currently implementing the program only on final reclamation sites, it hopes to expand their efforts to include post-drilling restoration.
"Manufacturers across the country are taking proactive and creative steps to improve the environment and enhance their communities," said National Association of Manufacturers Director of Energy and Resources Policy Laura Berkey-Ames. "The work that Range Resources is doing to build and improve natural habitats in Pennsylvania is an exciting part of that effort. We're looking forward to seeing continued results as this project grows."
Climate R&D Bill Would Make Manufacturing More Competitive
A House of Representatives committee recently held a hearing on a bill designed to drive breakthrough innovations to tackle climate change—a priority that has the strong support of the National Association of Manufacturers and manufacturing businesses across the country.
The Clean Industrial Technology Act (CITA) would set up a Transformational Industrial Technology Program at the U.S. Department of Energy, and would drive new technologies aimed at increasing the technological and economic competitiveness of manufacturing in the United States. The program would also find pathways to net-zero greenhouse gas emissions and create a technical assistance program to help local communities and states evaluate and incentivize the adoption of technologies that reduce industrial greenhouse gases. The legislative hearing on the CITA was held by the House of Representatives Committee on Science, Space, and Technology. In the Senate, the NAM has been working closely with Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) on similar legislation.
"Manufacturers have always been about solutions," said Rachel Jones, Senior Director of Energy and Resources Policy at the NAM. "We need real-world technologies to address our global climate problem, and legislation like the CITA provides a common sense opportunity to move our efforts forward. This bill takes a clear-eyed look at the unique challenges that different energy-intensive industries face as we all work toward ensuring a safer and more prosperous future."
Manufacturers across the country are deeply involved in sustainability programs, leading the way for other industries in protecting our environment. Most manufacturing companies have already pioneered new technologies and implemented meaningful programs to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. With more than 12 million men and women employed by the industry in every state in the country, manufacturing businesses have a unique perspective on the challenges of our shared path forward and have consistently worked with Congress to promote bills like the CITA.
"Providing incentives for U.S. businesses, schools and laboratories to bring game-changing technologies into the commercial sector isn't just good policy; it's common sense," said Jones. "Cooperative partnerships between industry, government and academia benefit all three sectors and the country as a whole."
Manufacturers contributed 18 percent more value to the American economy over the past decade while reducing the carbon footprint of their products by 21 percent—demonstrating that productivity and sustainability are compatible with each other—and keeping the industry's promise to promote sustainable solutions.
"Manufacturers are committed to reducing greenhouse gases and addressing climate change while preserving our global competitiveness," said Jones. "This legislation is a great example of how we are working with policymakers to turn aspirations into reality in order to protect our environment and improve our world. Manufacturers applaud the House Science Committee and Sen. Whitehouse for their leadership."
NAM Announces Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage Initiative
Energy Advance Center Will Lead Lobbying Effort to Advance CCUS Technologies to Fight Climate Change, Promote Environmental Sustainability
Washington, D.C. – The National Association of Manufacturers today officially unveiled a new strategic initiative dedicated to the development, deployment and advancement of carbon capture utilization and storage policies and technologies that will support the U.S. manufacturing sector, create jobs and improve the environment. CCUS technologies are critical to reducing carbon dioxide emissions, enhancing U.S. energy security and competitiveness and maintaining U.S. leadership in the development and deployment of new, transformational energy solutions.
The NAM initiative, known as the Energy Advance Center, is led by Executive Director Christopher Romans, formerly a senior government affairs manager with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries in Washington, D.C. Romans brings years of experience and technical capabilities in the CCUS sector.
EAC will lead a multi-faceted effort to educate policymakers and advocate at the federal and state levels on the technical, economic and regulatory issues impacting the widespread deployment of CCUS. EAC expects to further expand its efforts through additional strategic partnerships with other industrial sector groups that seek common sense carbon management policies that are economically and technically feasible.
The EAC will initially focus on the following targeted issues:
• Supporting CCUS incentives that encourage deployment;
• Identifying CCUS barriers and promoting common sense reform;
• Clarifying rules to accessing 45Q tax credits for CCUS projects;
• Promoting CCUS infrastructure development;
• Advocating reforms to the Class VI Underground Injection Control program to provide certainty to project developers and encourage wider use; and
• Support further CCUS research, development and deployment.
"The launch of the Energy Advance Center is yet another example of manufacturers keeping our promise to drive economic growth while building a future with cleaner air and water and a healthier environment," said NAM Vice President of Energy and Resources Policy Ross Eisenberg. "CCUS is one of the most promising tools to address global climate change, and we're dedicated to developing this technology here in the U.S.—and to ensuring America continues to lead on this issue. We are excited to launch this new platform and continue to show that strong economic growth and responsible environmental stewardship can go hand in hand."
Members of the Energy Advance Center include BP, Chevron, ConocoPhillips, Denbury Resources, ExxonMobil, Kinder Morgan, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries America and Southern Company.

PepsiCo Invests in School Recycling Programs
Participating schools have collected more than 320 million plastic bottles and aluminum cans.
With more than 100,000 employees in the U.S., PepsiCo makes an impact through sustainability initiatives that reach far beyond the brand's products. Through its Recycle Rally program, PepsiCo offers more than 250 free online resources to students, faculty and school staff members across the country with the goal of increasing recycling rates at schools. Via those resources, Recycle Rally helps schools set recycling goals, track progress toward those goals, earn rewards and compete in contests for cash prizes.
Nearly 6,000 schools have participated in Recycle Rally over the past nine years, collecting more than 320 million plastic bottles and aluminum cans. In 2018, PepsiCo began open-sourcing all of their Recycle Rally resources to the general public which has enabled local communities to take advantage of the Recycle Rally tools, including how to start a green team and host a recycling collection drive. And by encouraging recycling, parents of children in the Recycle Rally program reported not only bringing their containers to the school drop off-site, but also increasing recycling of other materials in their homes.
PepsiCo hasn't stopped there. In 2018, PepsiCo made a $10 million investment in The Recycling Partnership (TRP) to launch "All In On Recycling," an industry-wide challenge to raise $25 million to improve recycling for 25 million families. By providing curbside carts to single-family homes, creating infrastructure to collect recyclables from multi-family housing and offering recycling education and operations, PepsiCo's investment helps to simplify recycling and create stronger, cleaner communities. In Iowa City, for example, PepsiCo's TRP investment will support the delivery of recycling carts to every household served by their recycling program—expanding curbside recycling to 16,000 households—along with a customized public education campaign designed to help residents recycle better.
"Recycling is an essential part of PepsiCo's long-term approach to sustainable packaging for our food and beverage products," said David Lapp, PepsiCo Beverages North America chief supply chain officer. "We work to support recycling wherever we do business, and as a U.S.-based company with significant operations, sales and local presence in cities and towns across the country, we have a special responsibility to do our part for U.S. recycling."
As part of PepsiCo's sustainability agenda, the company aims to build a world where plastics never need to become waste. In less than a decade, PepsiCo's recycling efforts—through partnerships, pilots, large-scale programs and packaging innovation—have helped recycle more than 425 million bottles and cans.
"Sustainability is a real priority for the manufacturing industry as a whole," said Laura Berkey-Ames, the National Association of Manufacturers' director of energy and resources policy. "Companies like PepsiCo are doing outstanding work and making critical progress that should serve as an example for other industries looking to be proactive on the issue."
Bosch Pledges Carbon Neutrality by 2020
Bosch intends to achieve its carbon neutral goal through a four-pronged approach.
Since Bosch first established a presence in North America in 1906, the company has been a manufacturing leader in the United States. With 410,000 employees worldwide—and 35,400 in North America—Bosch is keenly aware of their global impact and responsibility. Today, it's leading on climate action and setting an aggressive target for a bold new initiative: On May 9, Bosch announced that the company will be carbon neutral by 2020.
"Climate action needs to be seen not just as a long-term aspiration—it needs to happen here and now," said Dr. Volkmar Denner, chairman of the board of management of Robert Bosch GmbH. "As an innovation leader, we want to deliver technological solutions to ecological problems."
As one of the largest privately-held companies and automotive suppliers in the world, Bosch is well-positioned to make an impact, both through its actions and as a model to other companies. With 400 locations across the globe, Bosch intends to achieve its carbon neutral goal through a four-pronged approach: increasing energy efficiency, expanding proportion of renewables, buying more green power and offsetting carbon emissions. By reaching this goal, Bosch will prevent 3.3 million tons of carbon emissions by 2020—and will be the first major industrial company to reach the carbon-neutral benchmark.
"Our commitment to reducing carbon emissions and climate action is not guided by short-term financial considerations," said Prof. Stefan Asenkerschbaumer, CFO and deputy chairman of the Bosch board of management, "but takes a much longer-term view."
As an engineering company, Bosch sees its work in terms of long-range objectives and seeks to understand how even small changes, taken together, can have a significant effect over time. This focus on long-range planning makes it easier to weather fluctuations in the economy and day-to-day business challenges with an eye on achieving larger objectives.
Bosch's work uses tools that include low pollutant power train technology and artificial intelligence that predictively controls exhaust gas treatment. While most Americans are aware of Bosch through its leadership in consumer goods—from dishwashers to power tools—the company is also a force in sectors like mobility solutions, building technology and industrial equipment. And it is implementing a sustainable model across the board.
"Companies across the manufacturing sector are taking proactive steps to reduce emissions, improve the environment and address climate change," said Laura Berkey-Ames, National Association of Manufacturers' director of energy and resources policy. "Bosch's work is an exciting part of that effort and will help inspire companies in other industries to do their part."
NAM Notches Win Against 2015 WOTUS Rule in Federal Court
Ruling Protects Manufacturers' Right to a Fair and Transparent Rulemaking Process for Major Regulations
Washington, D.C. – National Association of Manufacturers Vice President for Litigation and Deputy General Counsel Peter Tolsdorf released the following statement after the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas ruled that the Environmental Protection Agency's 2015 Waters of the United States rule violated the Administrative Procedure Act:
For nearly four years, the Manufacturers' Center for Legal Action has battled the overreaching WOTUS rule in the courts, and manufacturers have claimed another important victory, said Tolsdorf. The court's ruling protects manufacturers' right to a fair and transparent rulemaking process for significant environmental rules with multibillion-dollar impacts.
This rule was unreasonable on its face—it was a water regulation that went so far as to attempt to regulate dry land. This made compliance nearly impossible and put manufacturing jobs at serious risk. Manufacturers will continue to fight for fair, clear regulations that empower us to be responsible stewards of the environment while continuing to grow the U.S. economy.
In October, the NAM filed a motion for summary judgment in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas to invalidate the 2015 WOTUS rule.
Specifically, the court found that the EPA did not provide the public with reasonable notice and an opportunity to comment on the final rule's definition of jurisdictional "adjacent waters." The court also concluded that the EPA violated the APA by releasing the technical basis for the proposed rule only after the public notice and comment period had closed.
The NAM's legal arm, the Manufacturers' Center for Legal Action, has been in active litigation against the rule since July 2015, helping lead a large coalition of business groups to sue the EPA. Arcane procedural obstacles prevented the courts from hearing the merits of our legal challenge for several years. In early 2018, however, the MCLA scored a significant legal victory before the U.S. Supreme Court, which resolved those issues and has allowed litigation against the substance of the rule to proceed. The MCLA is also challenging the rule in a separate federal court in Georgia and has filed supporting amicus briefs in other legal challenges to the rule. To learn more about the MCLA, click here.

Jon "Bones" Jones is scheduled to defend his UFC Lightweight crown in May but is this the fight he finally loses and is Anthony "Rumble" Johnson the value play in our UFC picks?

The Teflon King
 I have seen this movie play out dozens of times before and the older I get the more accustomed I am to the inevitable ending. The Teflon champion with the larger than life personality appears invincible rendering all who oppose him vanquished until the fateful day when the edge has abruptly dulled and the mighty sword once so steely rusts before our very eyes. Think Iron Mike Tyson before his demise in Tokyo at the hands of a 33-1 shot named James Buster Douglas. Or before that it was the indomitable Muhammad Ali who was stunned by Smokin' Joe Frazier at Madison Square Garden in what was dubbed the Fight of the Century that saw his pristine 31-0 record come to a screeching halt.

More contemporarily and in the realm of MMA there is no greater example of a living legend stopped dead in his tracks than Anderson Silva. We saw the cracks in the armor at UFC 117 when the Spider, installed as a -450 favorite in UFC odds, morphed from soon to be former UFC Middleweight champ into Houdini when he snatched victory from the jaws of defeat and miraculously hooked in a triangle armbar that ultimately submitted the cage savvy Chael Sonnen with less than two minutes remaining in the fight. It took over two years but Silva was subsequently dispatched by the current middleweight champion Chris Weidman not once but twice.

But even the legendary Anderson Silva had a few blemishes on his record before he rose to the apex of mixed martial arts. Jon Bones Jones has only one defeat but even the casual UFC fan knows that the loss was a result of a disqualification due to the outlawed "midnight-to-six" elbow strikes he levied upon the already bloodied and battered skull of a beaten Mark Hamill. Thus, in reality no one has been able to defeat Jones inside the Octagon despite a valiant attempt by Alexander Gustafsson at UFC 165. Right now he is the Mike Tyson of the 1980's; at times surly, full of bravado and always polarizing. Jon Jones is the irresistible force for which there is to date, no immovable object.

Storm Clouds Looming?
 Subsequent to his most recent title defense in which he manhandled top contender Daniel Cormier, reports trickled out that he had tested positive for benzoylecgonine, the primary metabolite in cocaine. This random drug test was administered over a month before his fight with Cormier. He was tested a week later and all traces of the drug had vanished. Apparently a night (or nights) of hard partying didn't affect his sublime performance against the previously undefeated Olympian Daniel Cormier. Jones was his at his ferocious best and although he did not finish Cormier his performance was so dominating that it left no doubt that his skills were as razor sharp as ever.

But the question remains whether Jones is guilty of a bad decision or the victim of a bad habit. According to Jones he is the former, "...I'm not a cocaine addict by any means or not even a frequent user. I just made a really dumb decision and got caught with my pants down in this whole situation."

Jones will get the opportunity to prove exactly that at UFC 187 where he will face the explosive Anthony "Rumble" Johnson. As of this writing Jones has been installed as a -259 betting favorite in UFC odds at Pinnacle. Johnson is equipped with dynamite in both hands as evidenced by his 13 KO's in 19 victories but he is also the owner of four losses, one of which was at the hands of Vitor Belfort who was submitted by Jones at UFC 152. Johnson has a punchers chance but Jon Jones will undoubtedly prevail as he has on 22 previous occasions.

At 27-years-old Jones is in the prime of his career and we may never again see the likes of a fighter who is so thoroughly gifted both on the mat and standing up. The man is the equivalent of the mythical Saturday Night Live land-shark, adept at devouring any opponent, any time and at their own game. But Jones is human and if he becomes complacent and revels in his own press clippings or succumbs to the temptation of drugs and alcohol it will inevitably be his downfall. If and when that happens there will be more than a few who will cheer the overthrow of the mightiest MMA king who ever lived.

The flagship store of this classic American chocolate company opened in 1921 in Los Angeles. Today there are more than 200 locations across the country offering delicious chocolate candies filled with nuts, marzipan and nougat. F&W's Kate Krader gets nostalgic for See's Milk Bordeaux ($24.50), candy filled with brown sugar cream and topped with crispy chocolate puffed rice. sees.com
Chocolate Apéritifs au Fromage is chocolate-covered cheese. That was an unusual combination, new to me. The flavors are balanced and modest, but the cheese prevails. The Boîte Gourmande contains plain square wafers of chocolate, Florentins (chocolate cookies, square wafers covered with a honey and nut confection), mendiants (chocolate disks topped with nuts and dried fruit), and chocolate sticks containing candied orange peel. All are good. These are little chocolate delicacies, to be savored. The dried fruit arrived still fresh and full of flavor.
Ingredients/Flavors: The last thing you want is to order a boxed chocolate made of desirable ingredients. For this reason, make sure you know the ingredients and flavors used to make a chocolate you are about to buy. This will help you enjoy your new chocolate to the fullest.Other than the guideline, we have come up with the top 10 best boxed chocolate reviews in 2019 to make it easier identifying a suitable product.
You can't really make a bad choice at Boise's The Chocolat Bar. Since 2004, this shop has been using local and organic products to allow the lusciousness of chocolate shine through. The top highlight at this shop is the Nipples of Venus truffle, which features dark chocolate ganache topped with white chocolate and Madagascar vanilla with a tiny dot of white chocolate on top. The barks are also worth traveling to Idaho for, with unique combinations like red chili pistachio and lemon lavender almond.
People love chocolate. People love bacon. Vosges founder Katrina Markoff decided to marry the two, and Mo's Bacon Candy Bars were born. Choco-bacon pancake mix, truffles and caramel toffees soon followed, putting the Chicago-based company on the map. The pioneer in experimental chocolate who trained at Le Cordon Bleu in Paris combines our favorite candy with curry for her Naga bar, and ginger, wasabi and black sesame seeds for the Black Pearl Bar. You can find her whimsical recipes at boutiques in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, New York City and Chicago.
The pieces in a one-pound box were quite varied in appearance, with few repetitions. Most pieces have full flavors of moderate strength. The designs were elegant but not as ornate as Burdick's. The cinnamon-ginger piece was very good, and the chocolate-coconut mixture is notable. Some pieces are somewhat ordinary, not entirely worthy of a fine chocolatier.
Included as one of Oprah's Favorite Things in past years, this bean-to-bar chocolate from acclaimed Chef Thomas Keller and renowned Tuscan olive oil producer Armando Manni is, as Oprah says, "pure chocolate bliss." This set includes one antioxidant-loaded dark chocolate bar, a milk chocolate variety, and two dark-milk chocolate blends. Are you drooling yet?
I discovered this wonderful chocolate brand more than a year ago in one of my Amazon Sweet Surprise boxes and immediately started searching for more. Hands down, this is the best chocolate I've ever had, European or American. The flavors in this selection are among my all-time favorites made by Seattle Chocolate. If I could give it 10 stars I would. And so nice to know that a portion of revenue goes to charitable causes. Thanks so much, Seattle Chocolate!
Maison du Chocolat's smallest online offering is a box of 28, which we also think is better to share with a larger group rather than with just one other person. Recchiuti's offering of 16 chocolates feels more appropriate for sharing between a couple over the course of a few days or a week. And although these chocolates aren't much more expensive per piece than the Recchiuti, having to buy a bigger box really bumps up the price. You can purchase smaller boxes in Maison du Chocolat stores, but that doesn't help if you're not in New York, Paris, or other larger cities where the shops can be found.
Chocolate is based in Newport Beach, California and features artisanal, handmade chocolates from independent shops throughout the United States and Canada. The retailer seeks to promote small businesses, especially because their team of chocolate enthusiasts believes that the best sweets come from the smaller shops, not the big-name brands commonly known in the chocolate world.

In researching and testing for this guide, I was surprised to find that expensive doesn't always mean high quality. Some of the costly boutique chocolates we tried were clearly made from inferior beans, with flavor that just died on the tongue. The Recchiuti chocolates, on the other hand, are worth the money, with the subtle flavors that come from great cacao.
The cookies are baked and shipped the same day, individually wrapped in a pack of eight. That's right, 8 cookies = a box of four pounds of freshly-made cookies. City Cakes knows 8 big cookies may be a lot for some, but the individually packaged cookies freeze well and return to their fresh-baked goodness with just a few minutes in a 350 degree oven or a few seconds in the microwave.
Chocolate with coriander and fennel? It all started in 1994 when Italian chocolatier Valter Bovetti established a factory in Aubazine, France. There he debuted his trademark chocolate candies shaped as nails and tools. In 2006, Bovetti and five fellow chocolate-makers visited Sao Tome, an African island in the Gulf of Guinea off the coast of Gabon. The island was called the "chocolate island," which inspired them to found a fair trade association named Roca Cacao. The organization bought harvesting equipment for twelve plantations and ensured a living wage for their 120 employees. Beans from the site of the first cacao plantation in Africa, go into Bovetti's high-quality Single Origin bars.
Katalin Csiszar and her husband, Zsolt Szabad, began the award-winning Rozsavolgyi in their home in Budapest in 2004. They source beans from Venezuela growers, and roast them very lightly to preserve their true flavors. Only organic cane sugar and a small amount of of cocoa butter goes in before they are formed into intricate patterns meant to mimic fireplace tiles, and wrapped by hand in paper that looks like your chic grandma's vintage silk scarf. Purists rave about their Criollo and Trincheras bars, but those who like surprises go for inclusions like olives and bread, and flavors of Japanese matcha, and Indian masala spices.
The love for chocolate does not discriminate. No matter how old you are, where you are from, how much money you have, or what your social status is, chances are there is some kind of chocolate that you can't say no to. There is a reason why chocolate is loved by people around the world -- it actually causes a chemical reaction in the brain that makes you happy.
Sweet Girl Cookies will make you feel like a kid again, that is, if you're like me and always tried (and still try) to choose the biggest cookie on the cookie plate. These gourmet cookies are generously big—4.4 ounces, and they cry out to be enjoyed with a big glass of milk or cup of coffee for dunking. Each cookie tends toward a dense cake-like rather than chewy texture, and each flavor is packed with chips. The middle of these cookies (even their "smaller" 2 ounce cookies) is one inch thick.

For more than 30 years, Seattle-based owner Fran Bigelow has been setting candy trends—she was selling miniature chocolate bars and elegant truffles before they became ubiquitous. Her sweets also have a very high-profile admirer: As a lover of salty-sweet desserts, one of President Obama's favorite indulgences is Fran's Smoked Salt Caramels ($12)—buttery caramels coated in milk chocolate and sprinkled with smoked sea salt. franschocolates.com
Chef Oscar Ortega is making some truly otherworldly chocolates at his Jackson, Wyoming, chocolate shop Atelier Ortega. His truly artisanal chocolates come in classic flavors (Tahitian vanilla, walnut) and inventive varietals (oregano and Earl Grey tea). And if these stunning chocolates don't do it for you, then consider stopping in to America's best old-school candy shops.
Galaxy is sold as Dove in several countries internationally. This brand of chocolate ranges in flavors from milk chocolate, fruit & nut varieties, and bubbles. The Galaxy and Dove brands also market products including hot cocoa powder, cakes, and ice cream. This comes in second to the Cadbury Dairy Milk bar in the best selling chocolate bars in the United Kingdom.
I was introduced to Alegio Chocolate on a chocolate crawl and bought a selection to taste at home. The Raspberry had a good balance with strong raspberry and good chocolate working together. The Orange was similar but slightly milder. The Santa Domingo is an unusal combination of green olive, licorice, currants, and apricot. Those flavors actually stood to the side a bit to present the chocolate at center stage. The Espresso worked well with a slightly salted caramel. The Habeñero had a little bite to it, while the Honey was of course sweet. Throughout the pieces, distinct chocolate flavors were presented well.
There are a great number of incredible chocolate shops in Chicago and the rest of Illinois, but Katherine Anne Confections in the Windy City takes our top spot. You won't find flawless chocolates here, but you'll find homemade treats done absolutely right; you wish your mama could make candies like these. But just because these chocolates are reminiscent of your own hometown chocolate shop doesn't mean there aren't sparks of innovation here. Look no further than the truffles, which include classic flavors like hazelnut and citrus right next to fun flavors such as lemon poppyseed and goat cheese walnut.
The Galaxy and Dove brands cover a wide range of products including chocolate bars in milk chocolate, caramel, Cookie Crumble, and Fruit & Nut varieties, Minstrels, Ripple (milk chocolate with a folded or "rippled" milk chocolate centre), Amicelli, Duetto, Promises, Bubbles and Truffle. Related brands in other parts of the world include "Jewels", and "Senzi" in the Middle East. The Galaxy and Dove brands also market a wide range of products including ready-to-drink chocolate milk, hot chocolatepowder, chocolate cakes, ice cream and more.
Chloé Doutre-Roussel, the author of The Chocolate Connoisseur and one of the world's leading authorities on fine chocolate, uses another word to describe what came next: vendetta. "Everything Alessio does, he does with intensity," Doutre-Roussel says. "So this revenge became his focus. He put everything—the family money, even his sister—on this project."
Truly the BEST toffee you will ever have- thick slabs of chocolate with sweet and buttery toffee sandwiched between. Garden Gate hand dips their toffee just 2 months out of the year. Their once ice cream shop turned to toffee and chocolate establishment works solely off of word of mouth and repeat customers, year after year. Stop by Garden Gate on 9th and 9th for a taste of their toffee. You won't regret it!
This Italian chocolatier specializes in hazelnut-flavored chocolate pralines, combining a hazelnut chocolate cream and a whole hazelnut with a crisp chocolate shell in either milk or dark chocolate. It's a decadent chocolate experience, but with a complexity and mild bitterness from the hazelnut that makes it a more adult experience. Perfect for nut lovers.
In 2005, when John Grahm took over this mid-century Los Angeles shop where Marilyn Monroe once purchased her sweets, he fashioned it into an edgy and modern version of Old Hollywood elegance. Partnering with designer Kelly Wearstler, Grahm created a line of stunning bars covered in edible crystal, filled with tortilla chips and cayenne pepper, and flavored with balsamic vinegar. But tradition still rules at Compartés, so everything is handmade and people (not machines) do the packaging.
This South American country may not be the first to come to mind when you think about the world's best chocolate, but it should be. Research suggests that cocoa originated in Ecuador, where it was cultivated and eaten over 5,000 years ago. The most flavorful chocolate produced today comes from aromatic "arriba cacao," from which only 5 percent of the world's chocolate is made. Sixty-three percent of that cacao is grown in Ecuador. One of the country's top three brands, Pacari, continues to collect international awards. Kallari and Republica del Cacao chocolates also have bold Ecuadorian flavors.
Review: We have to start out by warning you, this chocolate is hella sweet. Whitman's is another Valentine's Day staple, which again, offers lots of nougat and caramel-y choices so we can see why it's popular. However, when you're spending so little on so much chocolate it's kind of a given that you're gonna get some sugary product. Also it's worth noting that our box didn't come with a sheet outlining the contents so in the words of one taster "you literally never know what you're gonna get."
Do you know someone who can't live without a piece of chocolate every day? Gift him or her this overflowing package of gourmet chocolate goodies. Each box contains a variety of chocolate covered treats, from fluffy marshmallow pops dipped in milk chocolate to dusted chocolate peanut butter toffee balls. For dark chocolate lovers, there's an impressive assortment of treats that are dipped in dark chocolate. Reviewers say this generous box was packaged beautifully and offered a nice variety and unique flavors. Be sure to find a truly committed chocolate fan for this gift basket!
The Thai peanut butter cups at Alma Chocolate in Portlandm Oregon, are what make this shop famous, but don't discount their other offerings. Their bonbons are some of the best in the country and come in beautiful flavors such as fig and marzipan and passion fruit caramel. They also pay homage to chocolate's Latin roots by making hand-crafted chocolate icons, made with 74 percent single-estate dark chocolate and painted with 23-karat edible gold.
In addition to the informational articles below, you'll find reviews of products that we think are the best gourmet chocolate (and make the best chocolate gifts for people who know good chocolate). You can find more chocolate gift ideas in the Gift-Finder section. If you have suggestions, comments, or want to tell us about your favorite chocolates, we'd love to hear from you.
Ethel M's return policy left us feeling confused. On the one hand, they offer a 100% unconditional guarantee. But, on the Returns and Exchanges page, it mentions that "in some minor cases", returning merchandise may result in a 25% restocking or administrative fee. And, in that same section, it says that there are no returns accepted for unwanted products.
Shuddering at the thought of using a mix? We don't blame you. Like blue jeans and coffee beans, the options seem endless, and making the wrong choice invariably leads to disappointment. Some mixes result in dry or bland cakes, while others can pass pretty easily for homemade. With a team of cake-loving Taste of Home staffers, we compared five of the most popular cake mix brands in a blind taste test.
If you are either passionate about chocolate or just like trying new and different chocolates, this is definitely the way to go. My wife is a self-proclaimed "Chocaholic" and for years I would have to scour the depths of malls or online searching to find her new chocolates, until I bought her this gift one year. Monthly you receive top quality chocolates from around the world and enjoy learning about the different chocolatiers, ingredients, etc. The fun for us is not just the chocolate (which is always amazing), but discovering new producers and ingredient combinations. It's a great program that has even turned this non sweet-tooth person into someone who can truly appreciate the incredible variety and nuances of fine chocolate (ok, maybe even a "chocaholic"). And thankfully I no longer have search, someone else has done that for me and I can truthfully say that I trust their judgment on what is a fine chocolate way better than my previous guess work.
Masters at everything they do, these Toronto chocolate experts present pure chocolate bars made with beans from around the world, taste-tempting chocolate confections, and truffles like works of art. The conoidal Douglas fir truffles—symbolic of the Canadian coniferous icon—blend fruity cocoa from the Dominican Republic and natural oils from the fir trees to give the experience of eating chocolate in the middle of a pine forest. SOMA also highlights their expertise in frozen confections like whiskey and chocolate gelato, nods to their first store space in the corner of a distillery. Two stores and a chocolate lab in downtown Toronto.
The pieces in a one-pound box were quite varied in appearance, with few repetitions. Most pieces have full flavors of moderate strength. The designs were elegant but not as ornate as Burdick's. The cinnamon-ginger piece was very good, and the chocolate-coconut mixture is notable. Some pieces are somewhat ordinary, not entirely worthy of a fine chocolatier.
Bridgewater chocolate bars. (Big image.) Take classic chocolates, make them with good chocolate, and upgrade the design and execution a notch, and you have Bridgewater's assorted chocolates. You can taste the quality and care that goes into these chocolates. I liked the peanut butter pieces quite a bit, as well as the Irish and almond toffees. Not all the pieces moved me, but you should try for yourself.
Can you really find gourmet cookie gifts at Amazon—the same place you turn to to stock up on Chips Ahoy? Turns out you can. Leila Love Macarons are delicate meringue pastry cookies made of almond flour, sugar and egg whites, sandwiched together with delicious fillings made with high quality chocolate or seasonal fruit fillings made with no preservatives or stabilizers. Each cookie is individually wrapped for freshness and presented in a fancy box. But be aware these cookies are not eligible for Amazon Prime (wah wah).
My husband Evan got me a subscription to your gourmet chocolate of the month club as a gift. It was one of the best gifts I've ever gotten - our whole family looks forward to each month's new arrival of chocolates. We share the pieces, savoring every bite. Each one is better than the last! Our 2 year old son Calder gets so excited whenever he sees the beautiful packaging, he loves to keep the "presents" even long after the chocolates have been devoured. Of course he is even more excited by the "special treats" inside. Thank you for bringing so much joy into our home each month!

I just had to drop you guys a quick email to tell you that YOU ROCK! I'm a huge fan of chocolate. Might say I've got a bit of a problem. I was looking for a service that would offer diversity and quality and I feel like I got really lucky when I found your web site. I've been utterly thrilled with each tasty morsel you've sent me to date. Especially the shipment that had 6 different chocolate bars with different percentages of cocoa in them! Very cool. And very tasty! I know it's a worn out cliché, but keep up the great work!
We all know someone who can't stop snacking on chocolate. Can you really blame them? Snacking chocolate is the kind of can't-stop-eating goodness that you need to keep stashed at your desk, in your purse, in the car, and anywhere else you can think of. Impress the snacker in your life with this decadent package that's filled to the brim with chocolate covered snacks. Each package comes with super nostalgic treats, from chocolate covered graham crackers and pretzels to mini-peanut butter cookies. Every treat is dipped in chocolate and has an addictive crunch to it. Plus, the addition of sweet cocoa to these crunchy snack foods will satisfy all of their sweet and salty cravings.
Even if you haven't been to Switzerland, you've probably had Swiss chocolate. Lindt is the most popular Swiss chocolate brand, and can be purchased around the world. What's especially interesting about the production of Swiss chocolate is that although Switzerland's climate isn't conducive to growing cacao plants, they found a way to produce chocolate all the same. It's also the Swiss who can claim the most chocolate consumption per capita – the average Swiss eats more than 10 kilos of chocolate per year!
Cacao Art: Made by sisters Susana and Isabel Garcia, who started the business in Venezuela but later moved to Miami (lucky for us). Says Isabel, "We think, as sisters, there is a lot of nostalgia in our chocolates, because we like to recreate the tastes of our shared childhood in Venezuela." Case in point, the decadent Anís y Papelón truffle (an International Chocolate Awards winner) made from sweet anise and raw cane sugar and inspired by a traditional Venezuelan pastry. The sisters use as many local and organic ingredients as possible and different spices and flavors from their extensive travels in Europe and North and South America.
French Broad Chocolate is a must-try shop located in Asheville, North Carolina. It has chocolates that have won numerous awards at the International Chocolate Awards and Good Food Awards. The confections, which range from single-source bars to vegan lemongrass and ginger truffles, are made with local ingredients and sustainable, wholesome cacao beans.
The next time you're sharing chocolate, impress your friends with your knowledge of "conching." Before Sprüngli & Son came onto the scene in 1845, chocolate was mainly enjoyed as a drink. The Swiss pioneers paved the way for future confectioners by crafting some of the world's first chocolate candies. Soon after, the company partnered with Swiss confectioner Rodolphe Lindt, the inventor of the conching method, which is still the cornerstone of chocolate-making today. This hours-long churning process incorporates cocoa butter into the cocoa mass, resulting in smooth "melting chocolate" that's easy to mold. Today, Lindt & Sprüngli offers an overwhelming chocolate bar menu. Our favorites include their Excellence 85 per cent Cocoa Bar and Excellence Intense Orange Bar. We used to have to import Lindt bars from Europe, but these days they are ubiquitous, sold at supermarkets and chain stores.
If you get a huge box of chocolates and can't finish them in two weeks, you can store them in the refrigerator for up to 1 month. After that, the flavors of the creams and ganaches can turn stale. When storing chocolates in the refrigerator, take the same steps you would when refrigerating chocolate bars. Be sure to wrap the box very well in plastic wrap, and seal in a zip-top plastic bag. Prior to eating, let the chocolates come to room temperature before unwrapping to avoid any condensation.

Our recent study revealed that soluble factors derived from accessory cells (AC; monocytes) and physical interaction with T cells of the accessory cells are both required for the induction from the proliferation of individual peripheral bloodstream T cells by anti-CD3 antibody combined on latex beads. supernatants of monocytes was inhibited by anti-IL-6 antibody substantially. Used as well as our prior outcomes that anti-IL-1 serum inhibited the potentiating activity of the lifestyle supernatant highly, these total outcomes reveal that the primary accountable substances in the lifestyle supernatant are IL-1 and IL-6, although a existence of various other effective factors ICAM4 isn't excluded. The anti-CD3-induced thymidine uptake by T cells in the current presence of IL-1 and IL-6 was considerably inhibited by anti-Tac antibody, recommending the fact that proliferation of T cells within this operational program is mainly mediated with a IL-2-dependent pathway. Our study additional showed that accessories cells appear to acquire cell surface area properties essential for the effective relationship with T cells during 6-24 hr of lifestyle with IFN-gamma.

With mind-numbingly repetitive regularity, President TrumpDonald John TrumpTrump pushes back on recent polling data, says internal numbers are 'strongest we've had so far' Illinois state lawmaker apologizes for photos depicting mock assassination of Trump Scaramucci assembling team of former Cabinet members to speak out against Trump MORE's critics can be counted on to denounce his every move. To them, his decision to replace Rex TillersonRex Wayne TillersonState Dept. extends travel ban to North Korea Scaramucci breaks up with Trump in now-familiar pattern Senate braces for brawl over Trump's spy chief MORE with Mike PompeoMichael (Mike) Richard PompeoAfghan president vows to take revenge after Islamic State attack on wedding The Hill's Morning Report - Trump on defense over economic jitters Latest pro-democracy rally draws tens of thousands in Hong Kong MORE as secretary of State was a disaster, more evidence that Trump is "unhinged," and "reckless," and "[insert the insult of your choice here]." They are wrong. Worse, they are missing the more important point: Pompeo's elevation gives Trump an opportunity properly, and finally, to execute the America first foreign policy on which he campaigned.
For example, consider U.S. policy toward the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, otherwise known as the Iran nuclear deal, in which the Iranian regime agreed to suspend its drive to acquire nuclear weapons in exchange for the lifting of Western sanctions. Though a terrible deal for the United States, it was one of the Obama administration's most sought after foreign policy goals, and it was one of the Obama policy decisions Trump most regularly and most vehemently denounced during his 2016 campaign for the presidency.
Trump, on the campaign trail and since, has made clear his belief that the deal was negotiated improperly from the start, and that he would, as president, either renegotiate it with better terms or abandon it entirely. Tillerson, apparently captured by the Obama holdovers and permanent bureaucracy at the State Department, never took to President Trump's opposition to the deal. At regular intervals throughout the past year, Tillerson counseled the president not to abandon the deal.
In fact, the disagreement between the two men on this issue was so strong that last week, when discussing his decision to replace Tillerson, the only policy disagreement the president cited was their disagreement over Iran policy: "When you look at the Iran deal, I thought it was terrible, he thought it was okay. I wanted to either break it or do something. He felt a little differently. So we were not really thinking the same."
By contrast, Pompeo had experience with the Iran nuclear deal going back to his service as a member of Congress, where he sat on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. In that role, he flew to Vienna, Austria, in July 2015, as the Iran deal was being debated, to question firsthand officials of the International Atomic Energy Agency, which would be tasked with verifying some parts of the deal. He was one of the leaders of the opposition to the deal in the House, and he fought it to the bitter end.
With Pompeo moving from the CIA to the State Department, if confirmed as secretary, the president finally will have a man representing him and his views of the deal in the current international discussions over the deal's fate. It's about time. President Trump has made a good move swapping out Tillerson for Pompeo.
With a tougher focus on actions in Iran, the new secretary of State can help turn the president's campaign rhetoric into reality, and Americans of all stripes will know that the man in the White House has chosen and put in place a team determined to fight for them.

Be Free!
Moving into a style
that I used long ago
This style that I use
it helped me to be free
And freedom is a subject
that I don't take lightly
Oh how much
do we want to be free?
In order to be free
I let go of who I am
I stand on the mountain
and soon forget my name
I meditate deeply
move with the cosmos
so how can I care
about what they think?
I trust in the Universe
and I trust in me
I move on this trust
every single day
A new way of life
Im happy to move into
One small step
One small step
From the seventh floor
I move back to ground level
And I come back here
with a brand new style
I ask the higher place
what to do next?
I await like a panther
about to make a leap
So now my next move
is not my next move
But don't even trip
because it really is
What we really want
comes from within
The question is
do we really know this?

From Craig's Journal (from a temporary low, to a wonderful high in minutes)
I woke up thinking about my life. There are so many things I want to do and in some ways may be sleeping on. I remembered the fact that life does not stop for anyone, and that everyday that goes by, I need to be sure to be my authentic self.
In some ways I felt like I was missing the mark, even though for the most part, life is quite good. I also thought about changes that I need to make, and maybe even a dream or two that if I was honest, seemed to be eluding me. "My perfect relationship, ok most happy relationship, am I in it? Look at the changes that need to be made. My new meditation center, it's just a shell of what I would like it to be. So much potential in so many areas, this is not a test run this is my life!" Needless to say, in that moment, I was not feeling my best.
Then I opened up to a page from my newest, yet to be released book, that I completed at least a year ago. The page was talking about the power of being thankful. I started to feel a little better just reading it. So I decided to put my thankfulness into action. I started thanking God and the Universe for many things. Like my wonderful home, and my children being healthy. I was thankful for my business and being able to be self employed practically all of my life. I thought about all the incredible ways God has blessed me and how the Universe has saved me from what looked like oncoming disaster, so many times.
I was thankful for all my good times, wonderful life and experiences, for my family friends and children. And as far as my meditation center goes. Wow, I actually have one, and it is wonderful, and growing. "Build on it!" Is what I thought. And for the projects that I felt way behind on. I felt appreciation for them and new energy to move on them. I was reminded that this is an adventure. And in my personal life, it has been a great ride and will continue to be. I was back once again, removed from my temporary low. My exercise in being thankful paid off.
Peace and Blessings

Today's Poetry (A Secret of the Ages)
We hold back, afraid it may be taken the wrong way
Thinking we will gain more by playing it safe
We may feel that what we give may not be accepted
How interesting, our grasping, makes our dreams run away
We must shine like the sun, blow like the wind
Let the chips fall where they may, and continue to be free!
What you give may soon be appreciated
The less we are concerned, the more likely it will be
The more we meditate, the less we are concerned
Working without concern is a secret of the ages
You move toward your objective like it means everything
But in your heart of hearts you have already let go

A Positive Conversation Amongst Friends
Ck: I have been feeling sick the past couple days. Sometimes it takes something like this to find out just how good you normally have it. In the next couple of days when I am back to normal, I am going to be so thankful. The trivial things that normally get me, won't even be able to touch me. I'll just remind myself that I am so fortunate to be able to function without so much pain.
Tr: Why don't you start doing that now, be so thankful for all that you have right now?
Ck: Man I knew you were going to say that! but that's ok when you are going through something I can't wait to say the same thing to you. (Ha ha ha.)
Tr: I hope you do. I will probably need to hear it. Actually, that is what you do. You are always reminding me of what I have, and how good things are. And many times right when I am complaining! You won't even let me get into it good.
Ck: Touche. Time to practice my positivity now. Be thankful right now.
Tr: I agree,
Ck: I am thankful that all my tires have air and I will make it to my destination. I am thankful that my children are all healthy and happy. I am thankful that my business is still maintaining well in spite of things being a little slower than usual. I am thankful that I have good friends in my world to laugh and talk with. I am thankful for this positive philosophy and my meditation teachings. I am thankful for the restored health that is on its way. I am thankful for. . .

Today's Poetry (Maybe It is Time)
Maybe it's time to put things to the test
And once again see if the magic is real
It seems it is time for whole new adventures
Sometimes I can tell by the challenges I face
I have done this many times before
And had unbelievable beauty come my way
The Universe has spoken to me so many times
When I have the courage to follow God has shown up
I have found Heaven in the strangest of places
If you have never burst open you ask "What does he mean?"
With this science I have seen rocks turn into gold
When I changed my ways my world transformed
When the tough times come. This is the time to go back to what works. This is the time to ask the Universe for our next move.This is the time to meditate and go within. This is the time to be true to our lessons, and pay attention to the signs that come our way.

Attracting More Wonderful Gifts From The Universe
Yesterday I was talking to my friend Aaron who is an electrician for the union, and fellow positive guru. He was saying that he had been working ten to twelve hours a day on his current job project, but this week, they only have him working eight hours. He said that he was happy to be getting off early. He also said that he would probably be back to having to work the weekends this week too. He then said he was happy for extra time and money on the weekend.
We both concluded that is the way to be in life. "I'll be happy and thankful for the time off when God and the Universe gives it to me, and be thankful and embrace it when the extra work comes too. I take what the Universe brings my way and work with it."
This is what we call rolling with the Universe, and being happy for the gifts that come our way. This in turn opens up the way for, and attracts more wonderful gifts in the future. He or she who can adopt this attitude will have many good things come their way, and they will show up as if by magic.
Peace and Blessing

Today's Poetry (To be one of those men)
I close my eyes and see four men walking
These four men are an incredible sight
As I see them walk, they have a different way of moving
They take each step like the Universe is with them
They move with the ojas of peace and love
They move in a way that is so hard to describe
They move like they are floating on a spiritual quest
When you look at them you think nothing can touch them
As I continue to view all my problems have left me
My way is so clear, I have a brand new sight
Nothing else matters and I am one of them
Like I exist on this other plane and still exist here
As I come out, there is no question, this is the goal of life
To change the world as I live on my spiritual quest
To forget about the other characters, and play my part well
To be one of those men, to be one of those men!

Today's Poetry (This yoga I practice makes life so easy!)
I awakened this morning and could barely take it
Worried about my loved ones, How could I go on?
I decided to chant my mantra and talk to God
I literally did this with each and every breath
Within a short while I began to feel peace
It came so quickly I could not believe it
It was as though I entered a whole new world
I dare not stop my yoga practice
I kept repeating surprised, I felt no more pain
"What if I did this all day long?
Will you protect my loved ones and transform my world?"
I opened up a book for guidance
"I Dare You To Try It!" is what the page read
I rise to the challenge and now I float on!
This yoga I practice makes life so easy!
But how can you believe what you do not try?

Today's Positive Poetry…There comes a time to start living as that person
There comes a time to start living as that person
When this time comes we will know it, and have to be true
Being true to the inner you, is the start of truly being alive
Its the start of something magical, and the whole world is anew
A true moment is so deep, it can last forever
Think back on these moments, when you want to be true
A true moment is so intoxicating, like you had never lived before
And when you are in it you can't believe all that is taking place
In a true moment, we move past all that has held us back
and say "This is where I have to be, I can't take it any more"
In a true moment, we take a risk and choose to forget
about how we may look, or obstacles in the way
What we have to gain, is a chance to be alive once again
So we forge forward, and begin to feel free
What do you know, I am alive once again!
When I am true to the moment, it comes in an instant!

President Donald Trump's fellow Republicans rebuked him on Wednesday after his threat to shut down the U.S. government over funding for a border wall rattled markets and cast a shadow over congressional efforts to raise the country's debt ceiling and pass spending bills.
"I don't think anyone's interested in having a shutdown," the top Republican in Congress, House of Representatives Speaker Paul Ryan, told reporters on Wednesday in Hillsboro, Oregon, where he visited an Intel factory.
Ryan said building a wall along the country's border with Mexico to deter illegal immigration was necessary, but added that the government did not have to choose between border security and shuttering operations.
Trump in a speech on Tuesday evening threatened a shutdown if Congress does not agree to fund constructing the wall, a signature promise of his presidential campaign, which added a new complication to Republicans' months-long struggle to reach a budget deal.
After Mexico rejected a chief part of Trump's promise — that it would pay for the wall — the president said the United States would fund it initially and be repaid by its southern neighbor. Lawmakers, including many Republicans, have not made that funding a top priority, as some question if a wall is necessary.
Congress will have about 12 working days when it returns on Sept. 5 from its summer break to approve spending measures to keep the government open, while also facing a looming deadline to raise the cap on the amount the government may borrow. Both are must-approve measures.
U.S. stocks and the dollar weakened and investors pivoted to the safety of U.S. Treasury securities on Wednesday after Trump's threat. The S&P 500 index closed about 0.3 percent lower, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was down by 0.4 percent and the Nasdaq Composite Index slid 0.3 percent.
Ryan suggested Congress would need to approve a short-term extension, or continuing resolution, of current funding levels so that the Senate could have more time to pass a full spending bill. That would push the budget battle to later in the year and could in turn delay attempts at tax reform, another signature Trump campaign issue.
Friction between Republicans and Trump has grown in recent months, with the president publicly castigating some party leaders, notably Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, and expressing infuriation that Congress has not passed any significant legislation since his January inauguration.
McConnell did not take a stand on the border wall issue on Wednesday.
He said in a statement he and Trump were in regular contact and working together on a list of goals that included preventing a government default and funding government priorities "in the short and long terms."
"We have a lot of work ahead of us, and we are committed to advancing our shared agenda together and anyone who suggests otherwise is clearly not part of the conversation," he said.
A White House statement said Trump would hold "previously scheduled meetings" with McConnell once Congress returns to Washington and that Trump and McConnell "remain united on many shared priorities, including middle-class tax relief, strengthening the military, constructing a southern border wall, and other important issues."
Congress frequently has to pass funding extensions for a few weeks or months while it hammers out a full budget. Occasionally lawmakers have entered a standoff over a single issue, delaying agreement and forcing a shutdown. The most recent closure, which spanned 15 days in October 2013, was over funding for the Affordable Care Act, popularly known as Obamacare.
In opinion polls during and after that shutdown, voters loudly disapproved of the Republican Party, which controlled the House of Representatives at the time.
Representative Tom Cole of Oklahoma, the Republican chairman of a House Appropriations subcommittee, said Trump's threatened move could backfire on the party.
"When you control the presidency, the Senate and the House, you're shutting down the government that you're running. I don't think it's smart politically and I don't think it would succeed practically," he told Reuters in an interview.
The White House stressed on Wednesday that Trump would work with Congress to get funding for the wall.
The president ran on it, won on it and plans to build it, " said White House spokeswoman Natalie Strom.
The party's conservative wing backed the president's call for wall funding, with Representative Jim Jordan of Ohio, a founding member of the Freedom Caucus, telling Reuters any government shutdown would be caused by Senate Democrats.
Representative Adam Kinzinger, a Republican member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said, however, the threat was "dangerous for our role in the world as we're talking to nations like Afghanistan to say: 'Here's how you govern yourself.'"
He added it could also hurt financial markets' confidence in the United States.
"Trump saying he would be willing to shut down the government over the wall obviously doesn't really inspire much confidence in anyone," said Michael O'Rourke, chief market strategist at JonesTrading in Greenwich, Connecticut.
The House passed a spending bill late last month that included funding for the wall. Republicans' slim majority in the Senate means Democrats are needed to pass most legislation and they have opposed including border wall funding in any fiscal 2018 spending bill.
Congress also must periodically raise the debt limit to keep the U.S. government borrowing and operating. Politicians sometimes take advantage of that need to push through policy or spending changes.
The Treasury Department, already using "extraordinary measures" to remain current on its obligations, has said the debt limit must be raised by Sept. 29. Trump has asked Congress to extend the limit with a "clean" bill that excludes any other provisions.
Credit ratings agency Fitch said on Wednesday it would review the U.S. sovereign debt rating, "with potentially negative implications," if the debt limit is not raised in a timely manner.
