Comments and discussion appreciated as always

I really do agree with the truth cast, especially about Raw's ending. It really did ruin the whole legacy vs McMahon (and as Keelan described similar to Steve Austin back in the day), i really do think that if they had evolved it more and do it could be a great rivalry, as really Orton i think is too good to get fired and brings so much to the WWE and RAW, that ending had that same feel to it as when JBL ran over Cena or something like that on the end of a RAW show a few months ago.

Speaking about pooping on possible storylines, the whole Matt Hardy vs Jeff Hardy, i can see it having a similar ending to Rey Mysterio vs Eddie Guerrero storyline when Dominic was pretty much made to be involved and Eddie said to him "I'm your Papi" it was alright but it was a real bad ending to a good storyline. I really do think Christian would have been a better choice on putting him as the person who caused Jeff's accidents as it could have catapulted him into a Major heel, especially if he cost Jeff the WWE title to be retained. Plus it would have made a lot more sense as him and Edge are good friends and former Tag Team Champions, and if they revealed that both of them had been behind them those two as heels could have skyrocketed to the top of the list. But that's the WWE atm for you.

Keeping on the same idea of wasted oppertunities, I'm going to take a risk here and say WHAT HAPPENED TO SIM SNUKA & MANU??? I think it would be a wasted oppertunity for them to go and do a 'Bam Neely' and ending up having no clue in hell what to do in the business and get demoted and then released, it would be great to see an actual manager come in and develop them as characters, wrestlers and on their mic skills.

I'm yet to see the wrestler movie, but i really do want to, and from what it sounds like if Mickey Rourke (Sorry if i spell his name wrong) does or doesn't get an Oscar it will be a major landmark movie to be on his CV! Congrats to him!

Woodshack out

All I fear is that Christian will now just come back as a jobber.

Also, a lot of people disliked Manu. I agree he had a terrible look and put on tonnes of weight before debuting, but his actual in ring work impressed me.

Rhinestones have a glittering past. Originally rhinestones where referred to Czechoslovakian or Bohemian glass dating as far back as the wow power leveling 13th century in Bohemia and the Czech Republic. Both have a history steeped in beautiful hand blown glass as well as molded and cut glass.

By 1918 glass was no longer limited to functional items. Czechoslovakian glass began to make its appearance in dazzling and brilliant wow power leveling jewelry. This Czech glass became known as rhinestones.

Rhinestones were manmade gems from highly refined glass. By using various metals the glass was colored to the desired shade. It was then pressed into molds. Each stone was then ground and polished by machine, resulting in a brilliant glass stone. Often the stones were foiled on the back which increased their brilliance.

Today, the same refining process is still used. You will often here rhinestones referred to as paste. Originally paste was referred to a glass stone that made of ground glass which was molded and then melted, producing an opaque dense cheap archlord gold glass frosted stone. Paste had many air bubbles and swirl marks. The high lead content glass was then polished and faceted, and set on either copper or silver resulting in a brilliant stone. Today the term paste usually refers to rhinestones. archlord online gold In Europe rhinestones are often referred to as paste, strass, and diamante.

Austria is another area with a history in rhinestone production. In 1891 Daniel Swarovski created a new glass cutting machine which quite literally revolutionized the jewelry Business. This machine could cut faceted glass, producing finely finished product in a very short time. Prior to this invention it would take a very long time for each stone to be hand cut and finished. Swarovski's background in glass making, combined with his glass cutting machine soon found him producing rhinestones with a lead content of over 30%. The brilliance of these rhinestones was superior to anything seen on the market. Swarovski wasn't content with his invention and the best rhinestones archlord power leveling ever seen. His next invention was once again transforming to the jewelry industry. He created a vacuum plating for the backs of the stones with silver and gold, reducing the need for hand labor. Still today Swarovski rhinestones are recognized as the highest quality in the industry. Over 80% of rhinestone jewelry manufactured in America use Swarovski rhinestones.

Rhinestones have played an important role in costume jewelry for hundreds of years. It is used to enhance and accent, and sometimes rhinestones will provide the entire design. During the Victorian period common motifs for jewelry included snakes, flowers, and hands most often adorned with rhinestones.

The 1890s were a time for extravagant jewelry heavily adorned with rhinestones. As time moved forward designs became simpler with figural shapes once again making their fashion statement. However this time they were small and more elegant with small rhinestone accents.

During the Edwardian period extravagance had made a comeback with diamonds and pearls being the focal point. Once again rhinestones were in heavy use, often used to imitate the real thing.

During the 1920s fashions were rapidly changing. Dresses had gone from fitted to a looser more comfortable style. Two distinct styles occurred during this era - the feminine style and the androgynous style. Jewelry from the 1920s drew on the art deco period. The majority of rhinestone jewelry was made with clear rhinestones.

As the 1920s moved jewelry once again became bolder. Dramatic color was in style. Designer Coco Chanel was an integral figure in the setting the stage for jewelry of this era.

During the 1930s during the Depression labor intensive fashion was no longer feasible. While the world was in turmoil, jewelry represented an affordable comfort to many women. Inexpensive costume jewelry could be used to revitalize an old outfit. The industry began to produce bright colored enamel pieces accented with rhinestones. Dogs, birds, or cats with a rhinestone eye were common place.

The jewelry during the 1940s once again became big and bold with rhinestones being produced in every imaginable color, large stones set on large bold settings was the norm.
