Diamond "Bow-Tie": Food? Apparel? What is It?
The diamond term "bow-tie" refers to a dark spot in the shape of a bow-tie that lies in the center of fancy shaped diamonds such as the Marquise, Oval, and Pear. This bow-tie runs horizontally, East to West across the center of the stone.
Bow-tie running across the center of the diamond (indicated by Red Arrows)
Depending on the size, angle, and placement of the diamond facets, this bow-tie can be slight and barely visible or very pronounced and detrimental to the visual appearance of the diamond. It is a subjective call. Some bow-tie effect is good in that it provides necessary contrast and gives the diamond a sharper look.
It is possible to totally eliminate this bow-tie effect by altering the number, angle, size, and placement of the Crown and Pavillion facets.
Marquise without Bow-tie. Arrows indicate the facets that play a critical role in eliminating the bow-tie effect.
The Marquise shape diamond is a regal and impressive presence with evenly distributed dispersion and scintillation when cut correctly.
If this is your diamond of preference I recommend that you examine stones with and without this bow-tie effect and determine which you prefer.
Also keep in mind that in addition to the bow-tie effect, you need to also take into consideration a pleasing shape that is determined by the Length to Width Ratio and symmetrical proportioning between the top and bottom of the stone.

I'll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)

The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod's. It works well, but isn't as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that's not an issue, but if you're planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod's larger screen and better browser may be important.

Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass' favor.

Sorry for the huge review, but I'm really loving the new Zune, and hope this, as well as the excellent reviews some other people have written, will help you decide if it's the right choice for you.

If you're still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you'll know which is right for you.

Hands down, Apple's app store wins by a mile. It's a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I'm not sure I'd want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.

This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like 'Mixview' that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you're listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of "neighbors" will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune "Social" is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.

Between me and my husband we've owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I've settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.
Posted by: links of london store on April 13, 2011 7:02 AM
The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it'll do even better in those areas, but for now it's a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod's strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.

Count me as one more particular person surpr ised that you just did notinclude pepsi around the ??worst??? l ist as well as acknowledge their redesign.Other distinct comments. The brand new Pfizer logo looks sloppy and careless to me. The blue clearspace about the wordmark is uneven. I like the notion, but the execution is poor. The previous a single is tighter.I do notunderstand what you like better concerning the new Guitar Hero logo. The negative area involving the letters helps make it practically unattainable to learn for me.As for El Banco Deuno, I do notget it in any respect. The line breaks seem absolutely jarring to me and remind me of a logo I did for my s ister is line of crafts when I was about 15 (it was the phrase pollywogs??? on two lines, with a hyphen?- ugh).Finally, I would appreciate to see your l ist of Identities which can be in desperate need to have of a redesign. My #1 select could be Verizon.

I was wondering if you ever considered changing the layout of your blog? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or two images. Maybe you could space it out better?
