Our main stone type is Cubic Zirconia Stones, which is an excellent alternative to natural gemstones because it is more scratch-resistant for everyday wear.

In Olympic women's soccer, the U.S. team has beaten Japan, 2-1, in the gold medal match at London's Wembley Stadium, a game that set a new attendance record with more than 80,000 spectators. Carli Lloyd scored both of the American goals, while U.S. stars Alex Morgan and Abby Wambach weren't able to finish their chances. But they were very active, and both players kept the Japanese defenders occupied around the goal.
The fans were hoping for a game as exciting as the 2011 World Cup final, when the same two teams fought to a 2-2 tie before needing penalty kicks to decide the champion. Japan won that match, and the two teams split their games in 2012, along with a tie.
Update at 5:30 p.m. ET:
"We made it way too exciting, but that's good for the fans, I guess," coach Pia Sundhage told NBC — which also caught the coach on video as she danced to "Born in the USA" after the game.
"I think Japan played very well," she added. "Give credit to our defending, and give credit to our counter-attack."
Asked about her decision not to use Lloyd as a starter as the Olympic tournament began, Sundhage said she had been proven wrong — and that she was very happy about it.
"I was ready for the moment," Lloyd told NBC after the match. "Hard work pays off."
Asked about Sundhage's earlier admission that she had been wrong not to put more trust in Lloyd, the player said, "When someone tells me I can't do something, I'm going to always prove them wrong. That's what champions do."
"This goes out to all of our fans who cheered us on last summer," Abby Wambach told NBC after the match. "It was a team effort for this entire tournament. It shows what it takes" to win the gold medal, she said.
Wambach added that the win ensures that she won't have bad memories about the London Games for the rest of her life, after falling short at the World Cup.
"This means everything to us," she said.
The gold medal match featured aggressive play and excellent goal-keeping, and Japan seemed determined that Wambach and Morgan would not be the players who beat them. In the end, they weren't — but Lloyd and her U.S. teammates played well enough to make up for that.
After the match, players mixed hugs in with the handshakes. And the American players put on T-shirts that said, "Greatness Has Been Found."
Canada won the bronze medal — and its star Christine Sinclair won the Golden Boot for scoring the most goals in the tournament, with six. Team USA's Abby Wambach finished with five goals.
We live-blogged the gold medal match, here at The Torch:
4:33 p.m. ET: The game is over, and the U.S. women's team has won their third consecutive gold medal in the Olympics.
4:32 p.m. ET: We're 1:30 into extra time, past 90 minutes.
4:29 p.m. ET: Wambach gets a yellow card for a tackle in which she seemed to have forgotten how big she is. Her trailing leg cleared the Japanese player out. Japan couldn't do anything with the free kick.
4:28 p.m. ET: A corner kick from Cheney finds Wambach, but she's unable to send the ball into the back of the net. Perhaps Wambach's best chance of the match; she just got under it to send it high.
4:26 p.m. ET: With 4 minutes left in the match, Japan stops a U.S. attack. Then a foul by Cheney near midfield gives them possession again.
4:24 p.m. ET: Morgan sprawls out after a foul. Free kick for the U.S. Wambach heads the ball, but wide left of the goal.
4:23 p.m. ET: Japan's Iwabuchi put an excellent shot on goal, but had it saved by Solo. She stole it from Rampone and sent an angling shot that Solo speared.
4:22 p.m. ET: U.S. gets a free kick after Wambach gets slammed in the back. Lloyd launches a long, low streaking left-footed shot, and it rises just over the bar.
4:20 p.m. ET: U.S. bench is yelling, trying to get officials to see that Buehler is hurt. She comes off, and Becky Sauerbrunn runs on.
4:18 p.m. ET: Lloyd nearly gets a yellow card and earns lots of loud boos from the crowd for a late tackle.
4:16 p.m. ET: Official attendance of 80,203 is a record for Olympic women's soccer.
4:16 p.m. ET: With 15 minutes left in the match, Morgan threatens, but can't do anything with it.
4:14 p.m. ET: The ball goes in, and Solo can't clear. Another shot goes in, and off Le Pelbeit's chest. Then a penalty is called on Japan, to end the threat. A player had jumped on Lloyd, essentially.
4:13 p.m. ET: A handball is called on Lloyd, outside the box. Free kick Japan.
4:12 p.m. ET: Miyama sends a ball in to threaten, but Wambach heads it clear. Corner Japan. They kick it in low.
4:11 p.m. ET: Ohno earns a free kick.
4:09 p.m. ET: On the penalty, Cheney sets up Buehler, who shoots. Saved by Fukumotu.
4:08 p.m. ET: Japan launched spirited counter-attack, but Rampone won the ball back and sprinted back across to lead a U.S. attack. Then Wambach went down after getting kicked in the ankle. Penalty on Japan.
4:06 p.m. ET: Japan's Miyama shoots, after a cycle of passes across the top of the penalty box. But safely out of bounds.
4:04 p.m. ET: The stadium's noise level has shot up, as Japan got a corner kick. But Solo leapt through the crowd to catch it and end the threat. Still, Japan seems to be fully in this game. Not ready to accept silver just yet.
4:03 p.m. ET: Japan scores to make it 2-1, as Sawa put a failed clearing pass into the net.
3:59 p.m. ET: Sakaguchi goes off — and as she reaches the sideline, she pauses to turn and bow to the field, and the players.
3:57 p.m. ET: Megan Rapinoe goes off, and Lauren Cheney comes on for the U.S.
3:56 p.m. ET: Wambach heads a long ball — in defense. U.S. counter-attacks again, and Morgan shoots and misses.
3:54 p.m. ET: Carli Lloyd creates a phenomenal shot for herself, taking the ball near midfield and then unleashing a right-footed shot from the corner of the box. Back of the net in the left corner, to make it 2-0. Japanese defenders seemed preoccupied with Wambach and Morgan nearby.
3:54 p.m. ET: U.S. clears a threat away and puts on a counter-attack.
3:52 p.m. ET: Christie Rampone runs a ball off to ensure the Japanese don't get a corner kick. Rampone is 37 years old, by the way.
3:51 p.m. ET: A nice pass from Morgan loops toward Wambach on the far side of the goal, but the Japanese goalie's seen this movie before. She punches it away.
3:50 p.m. ET: The corner didn't threaten, and Lloyd eventually lost possession.
3:49 p.m. ET: Morgan takes an errant pass down the left side and kicks it out off of a Japanese defender, to earn a corner. By the way, Megan Rapinoe seems to have her hands full in the midfield, as the U.S. team is drifting defenders back to their own line.
3:47 p.m. ET: Defending a free kick, Hope Solo leapt out to punch the ball — just as Buehler and Kumagai plunged toward her. All went down. All seem OK.
3:45 p.m. ET: Howard Berkes describes what he calls a moment of mutual respect: "In the 43rd minute, Abby Wambach accidentally kicked Japanese player Saki Kumagai in the face. Then bends over her, puts a hand on her shoulder, seeming to see if she's OK. No foul called."
3:40 p.m. ET: Quick summary of the first half: U.S. has a 1-0 lead, after owning the first 10 minutes, including a low header by Carli Lloyd. But Japan settled into the game, creating dangerous chances for themselves. They failed to score thanks to a mix of bad luck and excellent defense and goalkeeping.
American midfielder Tobin Heath has played a very nice game — with the exception of what many will call a hand ball. On replays, her arm went well away from her body to trap the ball.
Oh, and technical difficulties made this whole live-blogging thing a bit of a struggle, so I apologize if that became a distraction.
3:30 p.m. ET: That's the first half, as Japan can't do anything with a free shot on the U.S. side. Japan's Homare Sawa, star of last year's World Cup, goes down and takes a while to get up.
3:28 p.m. Wambach is kept from a nifty shot by Japanese defender Kumagai, who nearly gets a boot in the face for her trouble. Kumagai is working hard — her jersey is one of the dirtiest on the field.
3:26 p.m. ET: Carli Lloyd ran the ball into the center of the Japanese half, and let loose a hard shot. Saved without too much worry by Fukumoto.
3:24 p.m. ET: Wambach goes down as she runs toward the Japanese box, and the crowd boos.
3:23 p.m. ET: For Japan, Ohno and Kawasumi are having wonderful games. For the U.S., Carli Lloyd is playing extremely well, and Alex Morgan is really preoccupying the Japanese defenders.
3:21 p.m. ET: Ohno sends a shot just wide from the center of the pitch. It curled out but didn't quite cut its way back into the goal, striking the side post.
3:18 p.m. ET: Midfielder Miyama sends a shot roaring at Hope Solo's goal. Knocks the top crossbar on the way out of play.
3:15 p.m. ET: Corner for the U.S. Chants of "U-S-A" in Wembley. Cleared away.
3:14 p.m. ET: A Japanese player goes down in the box, but ball had been kicked away, in a nice play by defender Rachel Buehler.
3:12 p.m. ET: Lloyd sends a long, burning shot toward goal, which is touched by the goalie — but it still dings the left post and ricochets away.
3:10 p.m. ET: Japan has a free kick from outside the left corner of the box. Didn't make it past the three-player wall — because the ball hit a U.S. player's arm. No hand-ball called.
3:09 p.m. ET: Japan took control on a nifty steal, and settled into the offensive side, only to send a weak shot looping toward Solo.
3:06 p.m. ET: The teams are trading possession in the midfield area, playing tighter defense.
3:03 p.m. ET: Solo knocks a ball away, after a long pass from Japan was headed toward goal.
3:02 p.m. ET: Japan's Homare Sawa takes the ball deep next to the U.S. goal and crosses it back. Save by U.S. goalie Hope Solo, then another save.. by Rampone, it seems. Solo had moved forward a bit.
3:01 p.m. ET: Japan seems to have settled down, controlling at midfield with crisp passes.
3 p.m. ET: Corner gets centered and sent out toward midfield. Japan defuses the threat.
2:59 p.m. ET: U.S. gets a corner kick.
2:54 p.m. ET: But wait — Carli Lloyd was there, as well, and gets credit for the goal, instead of Wambach. She headed it in, instead of Wambach, who had raised her left foot to strike it. Scoring credit has been officially changed.
2:52 p.m. ET: Abby Wambach scores to make it 1-0. A pass from Alex Morgan deep on the left crossed the front of the goal to the right side, where Wambach waited.
2:52 p.m. ET: Alex Morgan goes down as she runs on a pass from Lloyd. No call.
2:51 p.m. ET: The Japanese put together a run down the left side, but the ball outruns the striker.
2:49 p.m. ET: Alex Morgan slips past Japan's defender and lets one rip from the left side, but it's saved by Fukumoto.
An early threat is turned away, as a deep pass isn't cleared until late.
Our original post:
With only 15 minutes remaining before the game, NPR's Howard Berkes reports that there are "hundreds, maybe thousands, of empty seats" in Wembley.
The American and Japanese teams know each other well by now. Since Japan's penalty-kick victory over the U.S. last July, the two teams have played each other several times.
"Japan definitely plays more of a possession style," Wambach told NBC's Al Michaels last night. "They're going to try to slow the game down as much as possible, and get us to move defensively, so that we expend a lot of energy in that way. And I think we want to speed the game up and attack, and get as many chances on goal as possible."
Asked if she believed the team could do that, Wambach said, "Absolutely. That's why we're here. We're prepared."
Prior to that World Cup loss, the Japanese women had never beaten the U.S. team in 25 matches. In 2012, the two teams have split their three matches, with one tie.
For the Americans, one big change since 2011 is the emergence of Alex Morgan, who has scored crucial goals for her team in the London Olympics.
Morgan says that her role has now "opened up a little bit to stretching the back line, but switching up the roles with Abby (Wambach) a little bit and being a little more unpredictable."
And like Wambach, Morgan feels ready for this rematch.
"I don't have nightmares about last year," she said. "We've been wanting this match since last year. We've been looking forward to it. This tournament could've gone so many different ways."
This is the second Olympics for Wambach, 32, who was part of the U.S. team at the Athens 2004 Games, but missed out on the Beijing 2008 Games after she broke her leg.

Wishful Thinking, Speculation and Oil
Everyone and their sister seems to have jumped on the "oil prices are being driven by speculation" bandwagon, but perhaps that is nothing but wishful thinking. From the very beginning of futures trading--back in the 1600s when traders in Antwerp would buy and sell contracts on the cargo coming from the East Indies--the easiest game in town has been to blame speculators for price movements.
If the price of a commodity is rising, then the villains are speculators. If the price is dropping, it's the short sellers' fault.
Speculators are active wherever and whenever speculation is allowed. It's wishful thinking to expect oil will fall from $130/barrel back to $70/barrel if only those darned speculators would leave the market alone.
Note to hand-wringing, finger-pointing pundits: those darned speculators are the market.
Please go to www.oftwominds.com/blog.html to view the important charts.
As Harun points out in the chart below, Large Trader Open Interest (in futures contracts) is not out of line with the recent past. We also have to keep in mind that commercial traders play both long and short to hedge their gains. If you're long oil, then you also buy short positions to lock in your gains on the long side. That is, your short positions will gain in value if oil drops, offsetting your losses on the long side. That's the basic idea of hedging, and the major players have to hedge to protect themselves from huge losses on either side of the trade.
Thus it is tricky to draw hard-and-fast conclusions from open interest. Yes, momentum traders will jump on a trend up or down; that's the nature of markets and trading.
But the key metric is always supply and demand. The evidence is rather clear: demand is not being destroyed as oil climbs in price, and supplies are dwindling as major oil fields slip into the depletion phase of Hubbert's Peak.
What many of the "it's all speculators' fault" commentators seem not to understand is that hundreds of millions of consumers are still paying low prices for gasoline. Many governments subsidize the cost of fuels, artificially suppressing prices to consumers, who then respond like all consumers do when a commodity is inexpensive: they use it profligately.
Let's turn to frequent contributors Harun I. and U. Doran for more:
Harun made these points:
"Shedding some perspective on the speculation debate.
Is there speculation? Of course, that is how the futures markets are designed.
Does this mean that speculators are driving price up or down. This argument has been around for centuries, it was inane then, it is just as inane today.
Is there a bubble? The change in trajectory of price indicates a change in psychology. Trend-following funds are are going to increase positions as their models dictate. When we see the smartest guys in the room (commercials) become buyers (relatively) then we will probably see a shift in price activity. Spot market and futures as of today are equivalent and the market is no longer inverted, this also is a change. Technical indicators on the charts indicate subtle changes.
Anything that goes straight up is unsustainable. The percent increases price are clearly unsustainable. People will change their behavior.
High prices are the answer to high prices and low prices are the answer to low prices."
The problem is that many nations are subsidizing their citizens' oil prices, so hundreds of millions of consumers are not paying higher prices. U. Doran submitted a telling article by "Sir Charts Alot" Gary Dorsch, who made these key points about supply and demand: (Is Crude Oil a "Bubble" Ready to Burst?)
"China, India, Russia and the Middle East combined are now consuming more crude oil than the US, burning 20.7 million barrels a day, up 4% from a year ago according to the IEA. The emerging economies are picking-up the slack in the oil market, more than offsetting a -1.3% contraction in US oil demand to 20.3 million barrels this year. Thus, a mild recession in the Western economies and Japan might not weaken global demand for oil.
Economies of big oil-exporters in Russia, Mexico, and OPEC itself are growing so fast that their need for energy within their own borders will limit how much they can sell abroad. Internal oil demand in Saudi Arabia, Russia, Norway, Iran and the United Arab Emirates grew 6% last year, and their exports declined 3 percent. Mexico's oil output fell -9% in the first four months of 2008, from the same period a year earlier.
If these trends continue, global crude exports could fall by 2.5 million barrels a day by the end of 2010, adding new strains to the global oil market.
Oil production is shrinking in 54 of the world's top-60 oil producing nations, including Britain's North Sea, where output peaked in 1999 and has already plunged by half. The UK began importing liquid gas for the first time in history in July 2005, and its North Sea oil reserve is dwindling at an -8.5% annual rate. The curtain might fall on North Sea Brent by 2012 if enough isn't done to maintain development and exploration, according to the UK Offshore Oil Industry.
The basic laws of supply-and-demand don't work in an economy where the government intervenes with price controls. In China, gasoline prices haven't gone up since last November, even though crude oil prices have gone up 35% since then. Beijing controls gasoline prices to limit their effect on inflation and prevents refiners from passing on higher oil import costs to consumers. Without the price controls on energy distillates, Chinese inflation would already be in the double-digits.
India is Asia's third-biggest oil consumer, and imports 70% of its petroleum needs. Although crude oil has doubled from a year ago, and the Indian rupee has lost 5.5% against the dollar this year, New Delhi has only permitted just one increase in retail fuel prices in 20-months."
The list of oil-producing nations with extremely cheap fuel (in some cases under $1/gallon) includes major exporters Iran, Venezuela, Indonesia and Nigeria. Toss in China and India, and you have hundreds of millions of consumers who are being protected from the true cost of fuels by their governments' massive subsidies.
Traffic jams in Lagos are legendary, as fuel is cheap and the infrastructure hasn't kept pace with the population growth. The same is true in oil-producing nations' cities around the globe. Bottom line: fuel subsidies in oil-producing nations is driving demand up so rapidly that these nations will soon be unable to export any oil at all.
Like all subsidies, the unintended consequence is tremendous inefficiency, economic distortion and waste. Efficiency and conservation don't pay when fuel is subsidized, just as nobody in the U.S. with gold-plated medical insurance thinks twice about going to the doctor--hey, it's "free," why not?
What are the chances these governments will eliminate their fuel subsidies? Zero, zip, nada. Yes, they will inch them up, and suffer the riots and protests of their poorer citizenry; but to eliminate all price controls and expose their populace to market rate fuels would be political suicide for the oligarchs and elites holding power in these nations. So they will "suck it up" and keep prices low, regardless of how high oil climbs in price.
If speculation is at such fever pitch, why is the volume of contract trading slowing down? As Harun notes on this chart, "The velocity at which contracts are trading hands has decelerated significantly during rapid price appreciation."
It seems the trading was fast and furious as the price formed a bottom and began its steady rise from $55/barrel.
Blaming the growing imbalance of oil supply and demand on speculation is a canard. My prediction for oil prices is a continuation of base trends, i.e. modest demand destruction and continuing declines in production/supply.
As for the "solutions" to supply:
1. The Iranians have 20 supertankers filled with oil floating around somewhere. Nice, but it's heavy crude, and the few refineries able to process it are already running flat out. Also, 20 supertankers is a drop in the bucket of global demand.
2. Deep abiotic oil is abundant. The Russian have the technology. If the Russians have the technology, why is their production declining so rapidly? Where are the pipelines from their deep wells?
3. It's all the weak dollar. Once the dollar starts rising, the bubble in oil prices will pop. Then how come oil is rising in all currencies and even when priced in gold?
4. Canada and the U.S. have nearly unlimited supplies of shale oil and tar sands. Great, but real-world production will top out at 2.5 million barrels a day, about 10% of North America's consumption, and the process uses vast quantities of natural gas.
5. If only the tree-huggers would let us drill in the Alaska Wilderness. The U.S. consumes 22 million barrels a day or 8 billion barrels a year. The Alaskan North Slope everyone talks about contains about a billion barrels--a whopping 45 days' supply for the U.S. Whoopie.
In other words--it's all wishful thinking, folks: that it's all the speculators' fault, that new supplies will magically come on line and save us--there is simply no credible evidence for either supposition. It's supply and demand. Prices are set on the margin, and as a result a shortfall of a few percent has an amazing leverage on price.
Go ahead and ban speculation, and see what happens then. Prices will not drop, they will simply become more disorderly/chaotic.
As for demand destruction--let me know when China, India, Indonesia, Iran, Venezuela, Nigeria, Mexico et al. stop subsidizing the price of fossil fuels for their hundreds of millions of consumers.
And as for supply, let me know when global production of oil from any source exceeds 90 million barrels and day and keeps climbing as producers take advantage of the high prices.

Talking About Your Feelings
- :kidshealth.org
- 1286
Sometimes the toughest thing about feelings is sharing them with others. Sharing your feelings helps you when your feelings are good and when they aren't so good. Sharing also helps you to get closer to people you care about and who care about you. When people talk about feelings, they sometimes use the word 'emotions.'
Focusing on Your Feelings
You can't tell your friends what's inside your backpack if you don't know what's in there yourself. Feelings are the same way. Before you can share them with anyone, you have to figure out what feelings you have.
Making a list of your feelings can help. You can do this in your head or by writing it out on a piece of paper or even by drawing pictures. Is something bothering you? Does it make you sad or angry? Do you feel this emotion only once in a while or do you feel it a lot of the time?
When you're trying to figure out your feelings, it might help to remember something that happened and think about how it made you feel. Then you can say, 'I feel sad when my friend doesn't play with me' or 'I feel angry when my brother always wins at baseball.' This can help you figure out your own feelings. It also gives the person you're talking with more information about what's bothering you.
Why Talk About Your Feelings?
The way a person feels inside is important. It can be really hard not to tell anyone that you're feeling sad, worried, or upset. Then, it's just you and these bad feelings.
If you keep feelings locked inside, it can even make you feel sick!
Your mom and dad want to know if you have problems because they love you and they want to know what's happening in your life. But what if a kid doesn't want to talk with mom or dad? Then find another trusted adult, like a relative or a counselor at school. Maybe this person can help you talk with your mom and dad about your problem or concern.
How to Talk About Your Feelings
Once you know who you can talk with, you'll want to pick a time and place to talk. Does it need to be private, or can you talk with your brother and sister in the room? If you think you'll have trouble saying what's on your mind, write it down on a piece of paper. If the person doesn't understand what you mean right away, try explaining it a different way or give an example of what's concerning you. Is there something you think could be done to make things better? If so, say it.
Some kids - just like some adults - are more private than others. That means some people will feel more shy about sharing their feelings. A kid doesn't have to share every feeling he or she has, but it is important to share feelings when a kid needs help. You don't have to solve every problem on your own. Sometimes you need help. And if you do, talking about your feelings can be the first step toward getting it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What type of current research is being done with Aged Garlic Extract?
A: Aged Garlic Extract is used in several university research projects annually. These studies have focused on aspects such as cholesterol, high blood pressure, homocysteine levels, immune stimulation, cognitive effects, and liver function effects. The results are published in peer-reviewed scientific journals. Some of the institutions involved are Loma Linda University, Brown University, Penn State University, Rutgers University, Cornell, the National, Cancer Institute and the National Institute of Health.
Q: Why have researchers focused on Aged Garlic Extract in their research?
A: Consistency is very important for scientific research. Aged Garlic Extract is manufactured with an extraction process that offers consistent amounts of effective compounds. Simple dehydrated powders used in other garlic pills not only lack consistency but are standardized with non-active compounds that actually are not present in the products you take. This lack of true standardization and inconsistency render these products far less acceptable than Aged Garlic Extract for research and therapeutic purposes.
Q: Many garlic products describe themselves as being standardized? What are the differences between those products?
A: As you can see from the table below, Kyolic is standardized with S-allylcysteine (SAC). This compound was chosen because it has been proven effective, safe and bioavailable. Various other products are standardized with compounds that are not bioavailable, not present in the product, or are not even effective. It makes no scientific sense to market any botanical based on a marker compound that is not a chemical constituent of the garlic supplement or biologically active in the body. The SAC in Kyolic is both biologically active and present in the supplement itself. This very important difference separates Kyolic from all other garlic brands.
Q: What about products that claim allicin is their active ingredient?
A: Strangely, not one of these products actually contain allicin or delivers allicin to the blood or liver where garlic actives are measured. Obviously, if it can't be found in the body, it can't be an active ingredient. These products are the subject of recent negative media reports that should not be confused with the positive reports on Aged Garlic Extract.
Q: How should consumers choose a garlic supplement?
A: To be fully safe and effective, a garlic supplement should be an antioxidant and manufactured through an aged extraction process. Consumers should always be sure the product is standardized with SAC and manufactured under current Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) established by the World Health Organization (WHO) as an international standard. Kyolic Aged Garlic Extract fits all of these guidelines.
The Kyolic Difference
Choosing an appropriate garlic supplement can be a confusing process. Actually, there are four choices:
- heat distilled garlic oil in softgels
- heat dehydrated garlic seasoning powder in capsules/tablets
- garlic oil macerates
- Kyolic odorless Aged Garlic Extract
All garlic supplements have some nutritional value. However, powders and oils contain little or no water-soluble compounds which may be essential to obtain some of the key benefits of garlic. Garlic powders and oils contain some beneficial oil-soluble sulfur compounds. However, these compounds also have a pungent garlic odor as well as harsh, oxidizing side effects. Even though these products may claim to be deodorized, the garlic odor is just masked by chemical or sugar coatings. When the capsules or tablets dissolve, garlic body odor results.
Kyolic odorless Aged Garlic Extract, on the other hand, is truly the only odorless garlic supplement. The exclusive aging process eliminates garlic odor and harsh side effects. Moreover, Kyolic contains various antioxidant properties and is the only antioxidant garlic supplement available.
Kyolic is also standardized with SAC (S-Allyl Cysteine), a beneficial water-soluble sulfur containing compound which is characteristic of Aged Garlic Extract.
About Kyolic
Kyolic originated from time-tested organic farming techniques free from pesticides, herbicides and chemical fertilizers. Organic cultivation is essential to grow pure and natural garlic bulbs which are well balanced in nutrients. Harvested at full maturity, the garlic cloves are naturally aged to convert harsh and odoriferous compounds such as allicin, into mild, odorless and stable water-soluble sulfur containing compounds which offer the benefits of garlic.Kyolic is quality assured from soil to shelf. The whole production process of Kyolic is controlled by over 250 stringent quality checks to ensure its safety and efficacy, conforming to international GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) guidelines. Additionally, Wakunaga has earned the distinctive ISO 9002 certification, recognizing compliance to the international quality standard and demonstrating the company's commitment to total quality assurance.

Hello December!
You've arrived with a storm, taking us all in your wintery grasp and covering us in a deep fluffy white blanket. Each year you force yourself earlier upon us. Arriving like a silent ghost, you bring a shuddery chill throughout the region. The bare snow-topped trees sparkle as if lined with diamonds and morning rays of sunlight dance through the mist of a bleak and gray sky.
The cold, biting wind blowing short gusts of cottony snowflakes, which swirl ecstatically through the brisk morning air create a breathtaking picture of a winter wonderland.
Inside the warmth, a stark contrast to the stinging cold, provides a comforting and fuzzy feeling of security. The flames of the candles reach up into the room, dancing as if in a trance and painting the walls with dark shadows.
Snuggled under a thick quilt, we read, we laugh, we cuddle, twirling bits of the textile with our bare toes. Our cheeks still tingle from the cold, glowing a warm red. We've stripped down to our long cotton underpants, the wet snowsuits lying out to dry on the floor. The sledge is parked haphazardly outside the door, leaving a telltale trail in the snow.
I love watching him laugh with his dark, deep brown eyes. Cheekily he winks at me and tries to cajole me into staying up late. Not tonight, it's a busy night! We're going to be welcoming December, I tell him. He knows and gets excited.
Hello December!
You are a sweet month. You bring treats to young and old, lighting up their faces with a warming smile. We wait impatiently for you to come around each year. You fill the air with a perfume of roasting chestnuts on a crackling hot fire, of spiced mulled wine and sticky candied almonds. The glittering fairy lights glimmer like jewels against a dark velvet sky. The music of carolers make us smile as we wait eagerly to sit around a feasting table surrounded by family and friends. The crisp, colored paper and ribbon leaving a telltale sign across the wooden floor.
Sweet December always comes around far too quickly, doesn't it? It sends us in a panic as we scuttle around to grasp the year forgone one last time.
Give in to it because December is a sweet month. Indulge in all the sweet treats it provides, like these delicate macarons. Flavored with a flowery note of lavender, I paired them with an explosive zing of ruby red grapefruit and a dry rosé prosecco curd.
Lavender Macarons with Ruby Red Grapefruit Prosecco Curd
Printable version of recipe here
For the macaron shells
110g icing sugar
60g almonds, very finely ground
60g egg whites, (about 2 eggs) aged for either 5 days in the fridge, then for 24 hours at room temperature or a little over 24 hours on the countertop
40g granulated sugar
Pinch of organic lavender buds
Purple food coloringFor the filling
200 ml grapefruit juice – I used Ruby Red grapefruits
50ml prosecco
Zest of 1 grapefruit, grated
100g unsalted butter, cut into pieces
3 eggs
1 egg yolk
200g fine granulated sugarMethod
For the macaron shells
- Prepare your baking tray and baking sheets with a stencil of circles. Draw circles on some baking paper using a (mathematical) compass about 2 cm in diameter. Then place some white parchment paper on the baking tray and flip the baking paper back around. Or use this macaron template.
- In a large mixing bowl mix the egg whites with an electric hand beater (alternatively you can use a stand mixer with the whisk attachment) until it is thick and frothy. Gradually add the granulated sugar, whisking all the while, until the mixture turns into a thick glossy meringue. The consistency of the macaron batter should be similar to hair mousse or shaving foam. Make sure the meringue is not over-beaten or else it will be too dry.
- In a food processor pulse together icing sugar, almonds and lavender buds until everything is finely ground and powdery. Sift the mixture 2 or 3 times to make sure there are no lumps.
- Place the dry ingredients into a bowl. Add the meringue in three portions, giving it a quick fold using the macronnage technique described in my macaron tips section. Fold the mixture a few times to break the air. Add some of the purple food coloring till you get the shade of purple you like best. Continue folding until you get a smooth and supple mixture, thick in consistency so that when you lift the spatula it flows back in thick ribbons. Test a small amount on a plate – should the tops fall back and flatten by themselves then it is ready, if not give it a few more folds.
- Fill a piping bag with a plain tip with the batter and pipe small rounds (2 cm in diameter) on your prepared baking paper. Leave the macarons to rest and dry for about 15 to 30 minutes.
- In the meantime preheat the the oven to 150 degrees C. When the macarons are ready bake the shells for 12-15 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool. Use a flat offset spatula to gently remove the shells from the baking paper and allow to cool further on a rack
For the filling
- Put the grapefruit zest and juice, prosecco, sugar and butter into a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water, making sure that the bottom of the basin doesn't touch the water. Stir with a whisk occasionally until the butter has melted.
- Mix the eggs and egg yolk lightly with a fork, then stir into the grapefruit-prosecco mixture.
- Allow the curd to cook, stirring regularly, for about 10 minutes, until the consistency is thick and custard-like. It should feel heavy on the whisk.
- Remove from the heat and stir occasionally as it cools. Pour into warm sterile jars, cover and seal. Allow to come to room temperature, then refrigerate. It will keep for a couple of weeks in the refrigerator
Notes: You will find that many fruit curd recipes ask you to stir the mixture with a wooden spoon. However, stirring lightly with a whisk introduces just a little more lightness into the curd, which makes it slightly less solid and more wobbly. For a macaron filling this is the perfect consistency.
Assembling the macarons
Using two spoons place a small dollop of the the grapefruit prosecco curd filling on one of the shells and gently cover with another shell. Do not press. Continue to do this until you have used up all of the filling and shells.Storing Macarons
If you are not going to be using them right away you can store the shells in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days.
They freeze well too but it is recommended to freeze them unfilled. To fill them take the shells out of the freezer 48 hours prior to serving and without defrosting fill them. This way the flavors will be allowed to blend as they thaw.
Notes: As the curd filling is fairly moist my advice would be to fill these about 30 minutes before you serve or want to indulge into them. Otherwise you will find that the shells will get too soggy.
I am always careful when flavoring with lavender. If not it easily reminds one of grandma's old perfumed pillow. There was just a slight, subdued hint of the flowery lavender, not overpowering but sublimely delicate. Paired with a wonderful sweet and tart grapefruit prosecco curd it added an incredibly elegant essence to the entire pastry.
The macarons were made for a flavor developing project I recently worked on for some Clients in Munich. I presented them to a panel of 15 people each one an expert in their own field. Yes I was nervous! However, my jaw dropped on the floor when the chef of a Michelin 3 star restaurant (also on the panel) came to me that evening and asked me how I managed to perfect the texture and what inspired me for the flavors. I think I was flying high for the rest of the evening. The macarons went down well as did my presentation and I look forward to working on more such projects in the future, creating more exciting macaron flavors.
These are on their was to this month's Mactweets where the theme this month is Falling for Macarons.

SANTA CLARA (AP) — Jim and John Harbaugh have exchanged a handful of text messages, and plan to leave it at that. No phone conversations necessary while the season's still going. No time for pleasantries, even for the friendly siblings.
There is work to be done to prepare for the Super Bowl, prepare for each other, prepare for a history-making day already being widely hyped as "Harbowl" or "Superbaugh" depending which nickname you prefer.
"It doesn't matter who the coach is, what relationship you have with the person on the other side," 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh said so matter-of-factly Monday afternoon.
Their parents sure aren't picking sides for the Feb. 3 matchup in New Orleans.
These days, the Harbaughs' longtime coaching father, Jack, stays away from game-planning chatter or strategy sessions with his Super Bowl-bound coaching sons. Baltimore's John Harbaugh and little brother Jim have been doing this long enough now to no longer need dad's input.
Yet, they still regularly seek it. And, their father does offer one basic mantra: "Get ahead, stay ahead."
"Probably the greatest advice that I've ever been given and the only advice that I've ever found to be true in all of coaching, I think we mentioned it to both John and Jim ... the coaching advice is, 'Get ahead, stay ahead,'" Jack Harbaugh said.
"If I'm called upon, I'll repeat that same message."
His boys still call home regularly to check in with the man who turned both on to the coaching profession years ago, and the mother who has handled everything behind the scenes for decades in a highly competitive, sports-crazed family — with all the routine sports clichés to show for it.
The Harbaugh brothers will become the first siblings to square off from opposite sidelines when their teams play for the NFL championship at the Superdome.
Not that they're too keen on playing up the storyline that has no chance of going away as hard as they try.
"Well, I think it's a blessing and a curse," Jim Harbaugh said Monday. "A blessing because that is my brother's team. And, also, personally I played for the Ravens. Great respect for their organization. ... The curse part would be the talk of two brothers playing in the Super Bowl and what that takes away from the players that are in the game. Every moment that you're talking about myself or John, that's less time that the players are going to be talked about."
Both men love history, just not the kind with them making it.
"I like reading a lot of history ... I guess it's pretty neat," John Harbaugh offered Monday. "But is it really going to be written about? It's not exactly like Churchill and Roosevelt or anything. It's pretty cool, but that's as far as it goes."
Nice try, guys.
John watched the end of Jim's game from the field in Foxborough, Mass., as Baltimore warmed up for the AFC championship game. Jim called his sister's family from the team plane before takeoff after a win at Atlanta and asked how his big brother's team was doing against New England.
The improbable Super Bowl features a set of brothers known around the NFL as fierce competitors unafraid to make a bold move during the season. Unafraid to upset anyone who stands in their way.
In fact, each one made a major change midseason to get this far — John fired his offensive coordinator, while Jim boosted his offense with a quarterback switch from Alex Smith to Colin Kaepernick.
Leading up to Sunday's games, parents Jack and Jackie said they would wait to decide whether to travel to New Orleans if both teams advanced or stick to what has been working so well — watching from the comfort of their couch in Mequon, Wis.
"We enjoy it very much. We get down in our basement, turn on the television and just have a fantastic day watching outstanding football," Jack said last week. "We share our misery with no one but ourselves. Not only the misery, but the ups and downs, the ins and outs of an outstanding professional game."
And, no, the Harbaughs weren't looking ahead to a potential big trip to the Big Easy.
Jack insists his wife is quick to pull out that old sports cliche: "It's one game at a time. I think it's very appropriate," he said.
Jim figures they won't possibly miss this history-making game.
"I think they'll be there," he said with a smile.
The brothers, separated in age by 15 months, have taken different paths to football's biggest stage — years after their intense games of knee football at the family home. They tried to beat each other at cards, or whatever other game it was at the time. Sometimes, they tried to beat each other up. Sister, Joani Crean, often got in on the fun, too.
The 49-year-old Jim never reached a Super Bowl, falling a last-gasp pass short during a 15-year NFL career as a quarterback. The 50-year-old John never played in the NFL.
Still, both will tell you, "Who's got it better than us? No-body!" — one catchphrase they got from their dad.
"We can't put into words what it means to see John and Jim achieve this incredible milestone," their brother-in-law, Indiana basketball coach Tom Crean, said on Twitter. "We talked to Jim (before) his team plane left. All he wanted to know was how was John doing? How were they playing? One incredible family who puts the care, well-being and love for each other at the forefront like most families do. Again, we are very proud of them. Going to be exciting to watch it unfold."
John worked his way up from the bottom of the coaching ranks, while Jim was the star college quarterback at Michigan, a first-round draft pick and eventual Pro Bowler who made coaching his career once he retired.
John already has the one-up, while Jim's team is the early favorite. John's Ravens beat the 49ers 16-6 on Thanksgiving night 2011, in Jim's rookie season as an NFL coach — though both know that means nothing now.
"I just want everybody to know, that was a four-day deal and every story has been told," John said. "We're not that interesting. There's nothing more to learn. The tape across the middle of the room story, OK, you got it? It's OK. It was just like any other family, really. I really hope the focus is not so much on that. We get it, it's really cool and it's exciting and all that."
Said Jim, "Completely new business."
In spite of his efforts to avoid the topic, Jim did take the opportunity to express how proud he is of John.
"He's a great football coach, a real grasp of all phases — offense, defense, special teams. I think he could coordinate at least two of those phases and do it as well as anyone in the league," Jim said. "I've got half the amount of coaching experience he does. Again, it's not about us. I keep coming back to that. I'm really proud of my brother. I love him. That's the blessing part, that this is happening to him."
And, fittingly for the big brother, John feels the exact same way.
Jim, John Harbaugh ready for rematch at Super Bowl

Mr. CARDIN. Mr. President, I rise today to draw the attention of my colleagues to the legacy of the July 20, 1974, invasion of Cyprus by Turkey and its ongoing occupation of that island nation. Thirty-six years later, the human dimension of the conflict and the artificial division of the country is evident in many areas. As Chairman of the Helsinki Commission, I am particularly mindful of the violations of human rights stemming from the occupation. I have walked along the U.N.-monitored buffer zone that cuts through the capital city of Nicosia. A visitor to Cyprus need not look far to discover the scars left by the artificial division of a capital and a country.
A year ago this week, the Helsinki Commission held a public briefing, "Cyprus' Religious Cultural Heritage in Peril," to draw attention to this aspect of the legacy of the events of 1974. Experts at that briefing documented the scope of the destruction of sites in the north, including Orthodox churches, chapels and monasteries as well as those of other Christian communities. According to Archbishop Chrysostomos II, leader of the Church of Cyprus, over 500 religious sites in the area have been seriously damaged or destroyed. Subsequent to the briefing that Church of Cyprus filed a formal case with the European Court of Human Rights regarding its religious sites and other property in the north. A report prepared by the Law Library of Congress, "Destruction of Cultural Property in the Northern Part of Cyprus and Violations of International Law" was released at the briefing.
Helsinki Commission staff traveled throughout the region, visiting numerous churches, each in various stages of deterioration, all plundered, stripped of religious objects, including altars, iconostasis and icons. Other sites have been turned into tourist resorts, storage warehouses or other purposes, including stables, shops, and night clubs. Among photos on display at the briefing were those showing the desecrated ruins of graves with all of the crosses broken off of their bases and smashed. A nearby shed was stacked with broken headstones. A number of Jewish cemeteries in the region, according to reports, have likewise been vandalized and left in shambles. Finally, even the rare occasions when Orthodox services that are allowed to be conducted in the north such exceptional events are occasionally marred by security forces preventing worshipers from crossing into the area or the disruption of religious services.
The Commission recently received an update from Dr. Charalampos Chotzakoglou, one of the experts who testified at our 2009 briefing. He reports a number of disturbing developments over the past year, including road construction through a church yard; transport of grave markers robbed from desecrated cemeteries, reportedly to be recycled as scrap metal; the further looting of artifacts from churches; and the known conversion of another church building into a night club. Dr. Chotzakoglou also reports on the continued difficulties in securing permission to conduct religious services at some of the sites in the north.
The events of 1974 have taken a tremendous toll in so many areas, including Cyprus' rich religious cultural heritage. As we mark this 36th anniversary, let us join in the hope that a resolution of the Cyprus question hammered out, by the Cypriots and for the Cypriots, will be found.
