Diamonds and Ruby Trophy Ring: It's a Player!
Few of us have the talent/ability to become a Professional sports athlete and so we use our imagination and live vicariously through our hometown teams. All of us have at one time or another fantasized about making that winning shot or play to win a championship and get that Ticker Tape parade down Main Street. One of the rewards is getting that Championship Ring-Bling!!!
The Boston Red Sox, 2007 World Series Champions received their rings yesterday. The new bling - made by the ring kings at Jostens - features a pair of Red Sox, on the top, each one containing four specially cut rubies for a combined weight of 2.14 carats.
There are 14 princess-cut diamonds in a diamond-shaped bed below the Sox, and 28 more round-cut diamonds running around the top of the ring.
Eight players - David Ortiz, Manny Ramirez, Jason Varitek, Curt Schilling, Tim Wakefield, Doug Mirabelli, Mike Timlin, and Kevin Youkilis - received rings that featured the Sox’ “B” and two World Series trophies on the side because they were on the team in both 2004 and 2007. The rings for the rest of the team feature just one trophy.
On the other side of the ring are the words “7th Word Series Championship,” with a replica of Fenway Park underneath and the words “4-0 Sweep.”
The rings have been appraised at $20,000 and the Sox Team Officials are expected to hand out about 50 of them to players, coaches and staff.
Jostens also made all three of the New England Patriots Super Bowl rings, and are ready to design a ring for the Boston Celtics should they win the NBA Championship this year.
For the rest of us? Dream On!

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.

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.

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.

What can I say but Amazing! This weblog is fantastic! Did you take the photographs in this? It is great to find someone that likes such things as this. Being a florist I actually find this sort of issue quite interesting. Would you mind if I backlink back here from my personal website? Thanks for writing.

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.)

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.

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.

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.

What I wouldnt give to have a debate with you about this. You just say so numerous points that come from nowhere that Im pretty positive Id have a fair shot. Your blog is great visually, I mean folks wont be bored. But other people who can see past the videos along with the layout wont be so impressed along with your generic understanding of this topic.
