Three Tips To Selecting A Real Silver Photo Frame On A Budget

If you've always loved the beauty of sterling silver picture frames, but didn't want to spend that much on a frame then you should look at silver plated picture frames.

Why Should I Buy Silver Plated Picture Frames?
First of all, silver plated picture frames are significantly less expensive than real sterling silver frames. That’s because rather than being 92.5% silver (by weight) like sterling silver, silver plated frames are composed of a thin layer of silver electroplated to another metal. For High Quality silver plated picture frames, the metal underneath the silver plate is brass whereas other less expensive frames use other types of metal.

Silver plated picture frames are a great alternative to sterling silver because of this cost effective process.  Silver plate allows you to have the beautiful look of real silver without the high cost. Silver plated picture frames are a great choice for a special gift or an important photo.

But before you start looking for a silver frame, here are three things to watch out for when buying a silver plated picture frame.

Make Sure it is Tarnish Resistant
Silver naturally tarnishes with use and age, but a lacquer coating on the frame will help protect the frame from tarnishing.  Most new high quality silver plated frames have a tarnish resistant finish, but check with your frame retailer to be sure.

If you are going to spend your money on a high quality silver plated frame, be sure that it has a tarnish resistant finish, especially if it is a gift. Nobody wants to receive a gift that adds to their workload so never give a silver frame unless it has a tarnish resistant coating.

I strongly recommend that you never buy a silver plated frame without verifying that it has a tarnish resistant coating on the frame surface. If you have to regularly polish your silver plated frame, chances are you won’t enjoy it and it will end up in a drawer because it is too much work to keep it shiny and looking beautiful.

Verify that the Frame is Designed for Engraving
If you want a silver plated picture frame for engraving, make sure to get a frame that is specifically made for engraving. In order to be engraved, the frame needs to have a flat smooth surface and have a thick enough silver plate finish that's designed for engraving. If you have the wrong type of silver plated frame engraved, you could end up with a two-toned engraving. The reason for this is that the metal underneath the silver eletroplated layer is not a silver colored metal. Once the frame is engraved and you realize the mistake, you will have a frame that is unattractive that you cannot return.

Know Your Budget
Whether or not you stick to a budget, it is a good idea to have a price range in mind when shopping for any quality silver frame. There is a wide range of prices and sizes available in silver plated frames so you should be able to find a frame you like in a price range you’re willing to pay.

It's easy to spend more and get buyer's remorse if you don't set a price range for what you want to spend. Don't ruin your enjoyment of your new silver frame because you spent too much.  Find a price range that you are comfortable with and buy a gorgeous silver plated frame within that price range and you will enjoy your silver plated frame for many years.

Hopefully these tips will help you select the perfect silver plated frame for yourself or to give as a gift. With the beauty of your new silver plated picture frame, it will be a frame you'll enjoy and pass on to future generations to enjoy.

Callaway X-22 Iron Set

Flex：Regular/Stiff

Shaft Brand：True Temper Dynamic Gold Steel Shaft/Callaway Golf Men X-22 Graphite

Setup：3-9PS

Shaft：Graphite/Steel

The legendary performance of the X Series in a new iron with even more forgiveness.
The goal of our X-Series Irons has always been lofty: Set the performance standard for the industry. We've done it again with Callaway X-22 Iron Set, the best X-Series Irons we've ever made. The perimeter weighting of the X-22s has been maximized for a moment of inertia (MOI) that's 10 percent higher than their predecessors, meaning you get more forgiveness on off-center strikes. The ideal center of gravity position has been preserved, generating optimal ball-flight trajectories. We've also incorporated the Modified Tru-Bore design, dampening vibration for enhanced feel. The tour-inspired head shape has a slightly thinner topline and sole with a large sweet spot for improved aesthetics and forgiveness to boost your confidence.

 Precision Notch Weighting
Precisely positions more weight to the perimeter of the iron to create a higher moment of inertia (MOI) for greater forgiveness and stability while maintaining the center of gravity position that produces ideal trajectories and feel.

Tour-Inspired Head Shape
Our engineers took elements designed for Tour Players, like a thinner top line and narrower sole, and incorporated them into highly forgiving irons with a higher MOI so they can be played by a wide range of golfers.

Modified Tru-Bore
An advanced version of the original Tru-Bore design, the polycarbonate tip plug at the end of the shaft dampens vibration for enhanced feel and performance.

VFT Technology
 VFT Technology maximizes ball speed and perimeter weighting for more distance and forgiveness; S2H2 increases discretionary weight by removing it from the hosel and repositioning it in the perimeter of the clubhead; 360-Degree Undercut Channel maximizes perimeter weighting by moving the CG lower and farther back in the clubhead, enlarging the hitting area and stabilizing the clubhead for more forgiveness.
 

 

Callaway FT-iQ Driver

Degree：9°/10°

Flex：Regular/Stiff 

Shaft：Graphite

Straight distance. That's what you want from your driver. No need to think. Just pick a target and swing away. Say hello to the FT-iQ Driver, the longest, straightest driver we've ever created. Using the coolest, latest technology found in Stealth Bombers and Formula 1 race cars, the brightest minds at Callaway Golf have created a driver with one result in mind: long bombs down the middle. The refined head shape has a sleek look and raises the moment of inertia (MOI) for unprecedented accuracy off the tee. Turbo-charge your tee shots with Hyperbolic Face Technology, which raises ball speeds across the entire face for more distance. The FT-iQ Tour Driver produces a more penetrating ball flight and features a slightly open face angle for a look preferred by accomplished players. The exclusive Fubuki shaft from Mitsubishi Rayon adds to the incredible feel and performance. So pick a target and fire a smart bomb.

Which Callaway Golf Set should I get?

I just started golf, and I've been doing some reasearch. It seems to me like Callaways is a good brand to get. Since I'm on a budget, and just a beginner, i thought that i should just get a set. I looked at the Callaway sets and they dont seem to be too expensive.

Their called Callaway Top-Flite Sets. I dont know which set to get.
There is like 4 different types. And i dont know why but some sets seem to be more expensive than others. Like the Womens Golf club sets seem to be more expensive than the mens.

By the way here's the link:

Please help I really want to invest in good golf clubs, since they are quite expensive. Or if there are some other good golf sets, please let me know. Thanks!

since ur a beginner dont start off with callaway later on u might be fit for something else

Step Off The Beaten Path In These Golf Shoes

Shoes made by FootJoy, Nike, adidas and ECCO get buckets of ink from the golf media. That's why they spend big bucks to lure tour pros to their products.

Other brands have less invested in golf shoes, which constitute a small portion of their portfolios. Footwear for golfers may be something of an afterthought for these outfits, but that doesn't mean you should overlook them.

Swedish sports-fashion trendsetter J. Lindeberg and sunglass stalwart Oakley are among those making Quality Golf shoes with little or no fanfare. Likewise, athletic-shoe giants Asics and Puma offer spike-bottomed alternatives to their better-known competitors.

Here's a look at each company's golf footwear:

J. Lindeberg

Since 1997, Stockholm-based J. Lindeberg has targeted fashion-conscious golfers and skiers with apparel it terms "elegant but not traditional... bohemian but not carefree... arty but not snobbish." The JL Golf Brogue and JL Golf Bridge lines are undeniably stylish... but not multi-chromatic. Combinations of black and white are all J. Lindeberg offers, which is perfectly fine for purists and hipsters alike.

Oakley

You'd expect cool shoes from a shades company, and cool is literally what you get with Oakley's Superdrive model and its moisture-wicking liners. Waterproof leather and a form-fitting footbed add comfort, but it's the cool quotient – boosted by brand ambassador Ricky Barnes' resurgence – that makes Oakley a player.

Asics

The most recent entrant into the golf footrace, Asics brings a reputation for building super-comfortable shoes for runners and other "real" athletes. Its Gelace Top golf shoes, says the company, are "designed to reduce fatigue through extreme stability." Hey, if Asics can do that for pavement pounders, keeping golfers' feet fresh must be a snap.

Puma

Thanks to cover boy Rickie Fowler, Puma has gained some traction with its Cell Fusion golf shoes. It takes a young stud like Fowler to pull these off in the white-snorkel blue combo, or even the black-white with red accents, but they sure are comfy. Puma's iCell insert supplies cushioning in the heel and forefoot, while the SmartQuill spike system promises great stability.

Keep Your Golf Swing In Shape All Year With A Golf Fitness Program

Some Pga Tour players have been playing for a couple of weeks in Hawaii and California. Others like Vijay and Ernie have been playing on the European Tour. Regardless of how many tournaments the pros have played this year, they have been working on their games for more time than most of us realize. Make no mistake about it: in golf - or baseball, football, basketball or any other pro sport - there is no longer an off-season.

So while this may be the first official shot of the season for some, the training process to get ready to make that shot has been quietly going on for months.

The amateur can learn a great deal from the professional golfer. Many parts of the world it is not possible to play golf year around, but there are ways to keep your golf game in shape all year long. Professionals know how to do it and so can you.

Realistically, there is very little time to take a break and do absolutely nothing for professional golfers. While every pro is different, there is a generic blueprint most will follow. After the pro finishes his Last Golf tournament, they take a little break. A few weeks off to give the body and mind a little rest. Every pro athlete needs that time to just recharge and give the body - both physically as well as mentally - time to recover. The PGA Tour season is one of the longest in sports and even though they may not play every week, it's very taxing on the body and the time off is essential to ensure positive results when we begin training for the next season.

I would recommend the same recipe for the amateur. Regardless if you are able to play year around or not, take a period of at least 2 weeks to put the golf clubs in the closet. The break away from the game will do wonders. You may even find after you return you are playing better golf and shooting lower scores.

Following the rest time - and like I said, it's longer for some, shorter for others - its time for the tour player to begin ramping up for the next season by physically improving the parameters of the body for the upcoming year. Just like any other golfer - from the Sunday hacker to the scratch golfer to the club pro - the professional golfer will work on trying to increase flexibility, balance, strength, endurance and power.

The amateur during this time of the year (usually the winter when snow is on the ground) can implement a golf fitness program. A golf fitness program will entail developing the physical capacities of the body around the golf swing. The program will look to develop flexibility, balance, strength, endurance, and power in relation to the golf swing. This is the first step for the amateur to keeping their golf swing in shape all year long.

The amateur during this time of year can also implement swing drills into their training program. The professional may or may not incorporate swing drills into their program at this time year. But for the amateur I recommend it, why? This is the time of year in addition to developing the body for the golf swing. The amateur can work on swing faults that hindered their scores the previous season.

The swing drills can be simply performing "mirror drills" to work on posture and the phases of the golf swing.

You should start putting drills this time of the year. If you are lucky enough to live in a region you can play golf year around, a couple short sessions at the range every week is a good idea. I would recommend the range sessions be kept short and focused on fixing the "problem" areas in your golf swing. The important point is the off-season is a time the amateur can take advantage of working on both their bodies and their golf swing

Professionally when the PGA Tour season approaches, we begin what is essentially the preseason. This is when the player starts to practice the fundamental mechanics of the sport. If it's a golfer, he's on the range working on his swing, if it's a pitcher, he's throwing getting ready for spring training. Physically, we're still training the body, but we tone it down while the player fine tunes his game. But make no mistake about it, even though working on the golf game is 75 percent of the focus of this pre-season training program, we're still working on the basics of flexibility, balance, strength, endurance and power training.

The pre-season for the amateur marks the time of year when the snow is beginning to melt and the "itch" to play golf comes around. I would suggest the amateur follow a similar program as the professional during this time of year. Start spending more time at the range. Working on all aspects of your golf game. Continue with your golf fitness program, but you may want to back off it a little as a result of the increased practice time. Again, keep in mind the body swings the Golf Club and we must keep the body in shape to do so.

The pre-season program of increased golf practice and a little less golf fitness continues with the professional golfer until their first tournament. This marks the point when we shift to an in-season golf fitness program. The golf fitness exercises don't stop, but we back off on the intensity. The program doesn't change much. We're still focused on flexibility, balance, strength, endurance and power, but the amount or volume of work is much less to accommodate the physical and mental strain of competition.

Four days of tournament play can take a toll on the body. As a result, we must back off on the amount of golf fitness training. The amateur during the golf season is probably in a little different of a situation. They are probably not playing 4 competitive rounds of golf per week plus practice. At most, they may be playing 2-3 rounds per week with a couple practice sessions. As a result of the lower volumes of golf they can spend a little more amount of time with their golf fitness program.

Essentially, the amateur can pretty much stick to pre-season volume of golf fitness training unless they are playing quite a bit. Just make sure the right balance of golf fitness training is in place in relation to your golf practice and playing. This is necessary so that you do not physically over-tax the body. Bottom line if you are looking to keep your golf game in shape and improving year around, I recommend following what the pros do; take a break at the end of the season, implement a golf fitness program, work on your swing faults during the winter, increase your practice time at the range before the season, and during the season keep a good balance of playing, practicing, and working out.

Washington DC - What's the best and most affordable tour bus?

I am traveling to Washington DC this weekend with my wife and 3.5 month old son. I've been told that the best way to get around the city is a tour bus where you can get on and off wherever you'd like. I've found many different options online and I'm curious which are the best and most affordable.

My top priorities are a spacious bus to fit a stroller, a clean bus and one that will come frequently. Any advice is appreciated! Thanks!

All the tour busses will fit that bill--- they're all clean and all have frequent stops (less than 15 minutes between) and have room for a stroller. I find the Old Town Trolley brand to be the least comfortable--- their seats are designed to look like little park benches and leave you with very little leg room and a very hard seat--- so you might want to avoid those. All the bus companies are priced more or less the same so your best bet is to look online a week or so before your visit and see which ones are running a sale. Sometimes you can get a "buy one day and ride for two" promo, or one that gives you a nighttime tour along wiht the hop-on/hop-off daytime busses.

DC Circulator is another option--- it does not go to as many stops but the busses are brand new and the fares are around $2. It's a combination of a commuter bus and a tourist bus but it goes to plenty of the top attractions. I am not sure if those are narrated but they are brand new busses, and ride a little lower so it'll be easier to get on with the stroller.
