Sterling silver is often used in fine designer jewelry because it has unmatched qualities. It's more affordable than gold and its inherently soft nature makes it a superb metal to create fabulously detailed pieces. It is soft enough to be intricately worked yet it is hard enough to sustain a life time of wear. If you don't like sterling silver you most likely don't understand it. A freshly polished set of sterling silver jewelry adorning a beautiful outfit will make a splash… guaranteed! It's natural bright and soft sheen is prized by many.
We understand the art of how to professionally polish a piece of jewelry and we are happy to share our time tested secrets with you. Keeping your beautiful pieces in tip top condition is necessary and feared at the same time. A couple proper cleaning tools and a few tips will have you saving your time and money on cleanings and taking pride in doing it yourself. I promise...read on! It's pretty simple and you will feel very accomplished.
Tarnished / Unclean Polished / Cleaned
Make a small batch of common household ammonia and hot water. Use about a cup of hot water and a tablespoon of ammonia. Soak the sterling silver piece in the solution for about 10 minutes. This removes all the dirt and grime that has built up over time. After soaking blot your piece dry with a soft cloth. Next time you want to wear this jewelry you can give it a quick polish with your polishing cloth and it will look like new.
After trying numerous types of silver cleaners we have our hands down favorite "Wrights silver cream". This polishing cream comes with its own soft sponge and this is all you need to achieve an impressive shiny finish. Wet the sponge and squeeze it out. Put a small amount of cream polish on the sponge and rub it in strokes opposed to circles. If your jewelry has patina crevasses (darkened grooves) rub in against the grain being careful not to rub too much and remove the patina. You will be surprised at how quickly your sponge with become dirty and this is a great sign. If it gets too black just rinse it well, squeeze it out, reapply a small amount of cream and clean some more. When the sponge remains clean, rinse your jewelry well with warm tap water (removing all the cream) and dry thoroughly.
Avoid rubbing cream polishes on your stones as it will scratch most stones shiny surface.
Never soak Pearls because they are so porous. Maintaining their luster means never soaking, using abrasive cleaning chemicals, cloths and/or harsh chemicals. Whether freshwater or saltwater Pearls they must be cleaned with care. First lay the strand on a soft cloth. Dip a clean, soft, brush (child's toothbrush or hoarse hair brush) into a mixture of warm water and a little shampoo, and go over each pearl. To finish, rinse the pearls quickly with warm water. Let the strand dry flat on a couple paper towels to prevent the string from stretching.
SOFT GEM STONES: Never soak Turquoise, Opals, Pearl, Opal, Emerald, Amber, Coral and Onyx and any other soft porous stone. This can damage these gemstones, as residues left behind once the water has been absorbed build up leaving them dull and lacking their original shine. For the same reason, care should also be taken to avoid contact with make-up, perfume or hairspray. When such stones are dampened, they should always be allowed to dry completely before being stored away. In emeralds, natural flaws are often filled and hidden with oil, harsh cleaning will remove this oil, producing a dull effect on their appearance.
HARD GEM STONES: By scientific definition, hardness is the ability to resist scratching and nothing more. All Gems will still break if hit hard enough. Some of the harder stones are (in order of hardness) Diamond, Ruby, Sapphire, Ruby and Topaz. Even though these are harder stones they can be scratched, broken or damaged. Diamonds will break. I chipped my beautiful wedding diamond and our jeweler turned the diamond and hid the chip under a prong. It looks like new now.
Last but not least... have your Jewels checked occasional by a jeweler to make sure your prongs are secure. This is imperative.

Jerry Jones says Cowboys plan to fight NFL's salary-cap sanctions
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones could pursue legal action in the wake of the league's decision to strip his team of $10 million in salary-cap space for the way they structured contracts during 2010's uncapped season.
|"What we're doing is a combination procedural and legal and all of that." -- Jerry Jones (Getty Images)
On Monday, March 12, the day before free agency began, the NFL stripped $36 million in salary-cap space from the Washington Redskins and another $10 million from the Dallas Cowboys as punishment for excessive spending during the 2010 season, which was uncapped due to the expired collective bargaining agreement.
On the surface, it appears to be another case of the league cracking down on rule-breakers. Take a closer look, though, and it's the NFL that could be in the wrong. According to a PFT report from March 12, owners were told "at least six times" that there would be "serious consequences" for teams that used the uncapped year to "dump salaries."
The problem? If true, that's collusion.
Which is why the Redskins and Cowboys might consider legal action. On Friday, Dallas owner Jerry Jones spoke about the $10 million penalty.
"We will and have expressed that we don't agree with that," Jones said according to the Dallas Morning News. "What we're doing is a combination procedural and legal and all of that."
The sticking point for Jones: the league didn't have an issue with any of the Cowboys' contracts at the time.
"I don't want to make our case here," he said. "But all of our contracts were approved by the league and you can't approve a contract that is in violation of league rules. You can't even get it on the books if it isn't in sync with league rules. So you start there."
Why did the league approve the contracts then? As PFT.com's Mike Florio wrote 11 days ago, "The league approved the contracts … because the union would have cried foul if the NFL had tried to apply limits to the uncapped year that didn't exist in the CBA. All along, the league planned to serve up a cold plate of salary-cap revenge against the Cowboys and Redskins at a later date, at a time when the union would be inclined to agree to an after-the-fact effort to punish anyone who opted not to limit the players' supply of cash in the months before the lockout."
And why did the league allegedly "warn teams at least six times" about overspending in the uncapped year? Money.
The plan was to keep more money in owners' pockets in case the lockout meant no football in 2011. "Arguing that the NFL has now punished the Redskins and Cowboys for breaking ranks necessarily would expose that strategy," Florio wrote last week.
The situation is so peculiar that the Cowboys and Redskins, sworn enemies and NFC East rivals, now find themselves on the same team.
"First of all, there is no joy in Mudville, having to team up with the Redskins on a point with the league," Jones said. "They're competitors, not cohorts. It just shows you, independent of that, some of the issues we have with this cap space issue. Sometimes you can have strange bedfellows and this is one of them."

Handmade Heritage Kashan burgundy/black wool rug
The rug is traditional, good quality, and great price. The color is a little darker than the computer shows but close enough that it matches the maroon colors too. I'm happy that I have it!
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? It was a little darker than I thought but close enough that it still matches the furniture that I already have.
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Quality is very good and does not shed or bleed color.
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? very close

directory you can use ":p". If it's not there then turning the path

BENTONVILLE, ARK. — Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. plans to extend its sustainability efforts to improve agriculture production practices around the world. The effort includes three broad components, including supporting farmers and their communities; producing more food with fewer resources and less waste; and sustainably sourcing key agricultural products.
"More than 1 billion people around the world rely on farming and hundreds of millions of them live on less than $2 a day," said Mike Duke, president and chief executive officer of Wal-Mart. "Globally, with a booming population, food production must increase roughly 70% to feed 9 billion people in 2050. Through sustainable agriculture, Wal-Mart is uniquely positioned to make a positive difference in food production — for farmers, communities and customers. Our efforts will help increase farmer incomes, lead to more efficient use of pesticides, fertilizer and water, and provide fresher produce for our customers."
To support farmers and their communities, Wal-Mart outlined several initiatives such as a commitment to sell $1 billion in food sourced from 1 million small and medium farmers. Within the United States, the company said it intends to double its sale of locally sourced produce and increase its purchase of select U.S. crops. The company defined the term local as crops grown within a state and sold within a state.
The world's largest retailer is focusing on the agriculture supply chain in the same manner in which it approached its own supply chain. When the company announced its initial sustainability initiative five years ago it focused on removing waste from its supply chain to improve efficiencies. In its effort to produce more food with fewer resources and less waste the company plans to follow a similar pattern.
By 2011 the company expects its largest growers to provide it with detailed analyses of their production practices, drilling down to specifics such as how much fertilizer and water are used to produce a specific crop.
"We will do this through our Sustainability Index by asking our top growers for the first time to provide detailed information on their agricultural practices," Mr. Duke said. "This will lead to more efficient use of water, pesticides and fertilizer, and ultimately, more sustainable practices."
Leslie Dach, executive vice-president of corporate affairs, added, "And as we've seen from our other work, this kind of transparency encourages efficiency, innovation and the optimization of resources."
The company also said it will invest $1 billion in its global supply chain over the next five years in an effort to deliver fresher products to its customers and reduce waste.
Wal-Mart has set a goal of reducing food waste in its emerging market stores and clubs by 15% and by 10% in stores and clubs in its other markets by 2015.
In its effort to sustainably source key agricultural products, Wal-Mart will focus on two specific products initially: palm oil and beef. The company announced that by 2015 all of its private label products will only use sustainably sourced palm oil.
The retailer also plans to expand its existing practice in Wal-Mart Brazil of only sourcing beef that does not contribute to the deforestation of the Amazon to all of its companies by the end of 2015. The company said 60% of deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon is related to cattle ranching expansion.

Fit To Be Tied
Kelli Conway
Photo: W Magazine
, there are some days we just want to roll out of bed and throw on the easiest outfit imaginable—but in case of an impromptu happy hour, we still need to look put together (you never know when you may run into that
ex-Tinder date). So, it's no secret that we fully support any trend that can flawlessly pair with our current wardrobe staples and be equally as easy to throw on.
Knotted, tied, and laced up details can be spotted everywhere these days, from tee shirts to denim to tote bags. And thanks to a host of options from the runways, there are plenty of easy and creative ways to lace up this spring and add a new twist to your old standby rotation.
Tie-waist skirts and dresses featuring faux sleeves knotted at the front have been cropping up on the streets—an ode to '90s nostalgia with an updated feel. Look to Vetements and Balenciaga for a fresh spin on athleisure-wear. For a modern take, pair your ink-black skinny jeans and ankle boots with a sweatshirt nonchalantly dangling ties from the sleeve or hem. Want to take a bigger risk? Try the lace-up corset trend—toss it on over a plaid blazer or a white button down to add a little subversive attitude to your classic pieces.
And, of course, we wouldn't leave you hanging without a solid selection of these tied up gems! Get shopping right here...

France's decision to put Panama back on its list of tax havens in the wake of the Panama Papers revelations is "wrong," Panamanian President Juan Carlos Varela said on Friday.
"I want to be very clear that the decision taken by France's government is a wrong and unnecessary step, even more so given the communication between both heads of state and the fact the world needs multilateral cooperation from all countries to tackle global problems," he told reporters.

Album review: "Watch The World" by Three Legged Fox
Three Legged Fox is an indie/rock/reggae fusion band from the great city of Philadelphia. Immediately two things stick out as you listen to their newest release Watch the World. Firstly, it is clear that the band (consisting of Kyle Wareham, John Duxbury, Mark Carson, Kory Kochersperger, and Chris Duddy) are all incredibly skilled at their craft. The musicality present throughout this record is such a strong driving force behind why the music is so great. Every melody has meaning and every rhythm rounds out the songs perfectly.
Secondly, Three Legged Fox are naturals at writing relatable and uplifting music. To take music that is a fusion of multiple styles and create something that is great for the radio but also meaningful is a special gift. So much "mainstream" sounding music these days follow a repetitive formula and Three Legged Fox are a refreshing break from that.
The constant switching of styles isn't jarring, but rather seems like a natural transition in the overall themes explored in Watch the World. In the words of the band:
"After putting out some darker albums it was important to us to make a big sounding album that felt like a celebration of life. These are strange and chaotic times, but there's a romance in living through that, and we wanted to make something you can dance and sing to."
That statement really hones in on what you feel as you listen to Watch the World. You feel joy in a really pure way. As a guy who generally is a massive cynic (or some would say "miserable bastard" lol), even I can say that I felt just a little bit happier for the duration of my listening experience. Music's greatest, well one of its greatest, gifts is the ability to pull you out of your own head.
Watch the World absolutely accomplishes this, and it is a record I highly recommend. Trust me on this one.
Standout track: Ultraviolet

Album Review: "English Tapas" by Sleaford Mods
Sleaford Mods have been, in my opinion, probably the most refreshing act to come out of the U.K. in recent years. Full of working class rage, swagger, minimalist punk arrangements, rapid fire lyrics, and pure political passion; this duo from Nottingham has always been able to cut through bullshit in this dismal world.
The band has a very recognizable sound, with Jason Williamson shouting into his mic while Andrew Fearn creates looping beats and grooves with a stripped-down approach. As the group has gone through various albums, it became clear that they have been looking for a new direction in some ways with regards to their sound.
Enter their newest release English Tapas. The album has trademark Mods style, but you can quickly sense there are new influences at work. You hear not just punk, but glitch, trip-hop, hip-hop, and numerous other elements in their instrumentals. Andrew Fearn has really pushed himself on this record to create sounds that open up new avenues for Williamson to explore his vocals over.
Jason is at his most melodic on this record without a doubt. There is plenty of ranting at the system, and with Westminster fucking everyone over this is justified completely, but there are so many more melodic layers than on previous records.
There is enough for the longtime Sleaford Mods fans like me to love on English Tapas, but there is plenty for the newbies too. This is the record that the working class and poor living in a post-Brexit world need.
Album Review: "Starlight" by The Right Now
The Right Now is a pop/soul band out of Chi-Town consisting of Stefanie Berecz (vocals), Brendan O'Connell (keyboards), Chris Corsale (guitar), Jim Schram (tenor sax), Lucas Gillan (drums), Greg Nergaard (bass) and Caleb Mitchell (trumpet). In their most recent record Starlight they have sought to push "out from their traditional soul-revivalist mode" that they have become known for.
The soul roots are undoubtedly a part of the sound on this record, especially in the vocals of Berecz and the grooves of the rhythm section. There is, however, a contemporary sound that leaves you feeling the need to dance. There is such pure joy coming from the speakers as I write this, and it is great to find bands that have such an uplifting sound.
This is not a naive record, however, as a lot of the lyrical inspiration serves as a counterpoint to the current sociopolitical climate in the United States. As their press release states, The Right Now made songs "of a wider scope" with "politics and social issues, addiction and recovery" all interlocking with the infectious grooves and great melodic hooks.
The key thing to remember when listening to Starlight is that the name is indicitive of, as lead vocalist Stefanie Berecz puts it, "something that connects and unifies everyone on this planet, regardless of all the perceived differences that we may have."
It helps when you made a great record to bond with your fellow humans over.

Album Review: "self-titled" by Seldom Family
The Philly-based indie group Seldom Family is comprised of Patrick Norris (vocals, guitar) and Chris Caulder (drums, bass, lap steel, guitar). The best way I can described self-titled is that it is a beautiful, grooving, ambient, soaring work of art. The bare-bones nature of the instrumentation with the heavy reverb washing over you gives a very current vibe with a nod to the past.
Every song is powerful lyrically and melodically. The voice of Patrick Norris, who sounds honestly like a mix between Bono and Lou Reed, draws you in with a magnetic pull. It longingly cries out over simple, yet brilliant, instrumentals. The album is subtle and also explosive. In it, there are countless seemingly opposing parts that work in synergy for a common goal. That goal is, quite simply, fantastic music.

Album Review: "Time is Addictive" by Mehdi Mahmoudabadi
Ambient music comes in many flavors, but it is often most associated with a pleasurable dream-like state. I love this type of ambient as much as anyone, but I also love when people explore the darker potential that this music has.
Enter Iranian composer Mehdi Mahmoudabadi and his EP Time is Addictive. In this record, we see the looping minimalism that ambient music is well-known for, but there is a massive twist. The tones, samples, instruments, vocals, melodies, rhythms, and harmonies all give off an experimental and dark vibe.
Try to imagine Trent Reznor in his Downward Spiral period making a record with Brian Eno and you get an idea what this record sounds like. The fact that Mehdi is so young (20 years old) and able to make music that has this much unique character is a real testament to his talent.

Album Review: "Home" by James Kennedy
"Keep an eye out for Kennedy, he's a man going places" – BBC Radio 1
Radio 1 in this case knows what they are talking about. As I listened to Welshman James Kennedy's upcoming record Home, it became clear that he was a man with a strong artistic vision. Central to this record is the powerful nature of the song structure. The choruses soar and the verses are tinged with a driving force that calls you to listen intently.
Incidentally the core inspiration behind this record is, as Kennedy's PR agency told me, his exploration of depression and utilizing the music as therapy. As a fellow sufferer of severe depression, I totally get this. And this understanding is helpful in looking at the record as more than just a collection of great songs.
The songs are powerful and can only come from a place that understands what darkness truly looks like. James Kennedy's vocals are modern, refreshing, and ultimately an amalgamation of numerous stylistic influences (rock, soul, blues and pop). For me, James may very well be the Welsh Jeff Buckley, as his songwriting reminds me so much of the late, great performer.
Home is an uplifting journey for the listener and it reminds you to dust yourself off and keep pushing on in a hostile world.
Home can be pre-ordered at https://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/home/id1182038899
