    The Selective Sequence Electronic Calculator handled both data and instructions using electronic circuits made with 13,500 vacuum tubes and 21,000 relays. It occupied three sides of a 30-ft x 60-ft room. On the back wall, three punches and thirty readers provided paper-tape storage. Banks of vacuum tube circuits for card reading and sequence control and 36 paper tape readers comprising the table-lookup section occupied the left wall. Most of the right wall was filled by the electronic arithmetic unit and storage. In the center of the room were card readers, card punches, printers, and the operator's console.

    CALIFORNIA GOLD RUSH
    January 24, 1848 - Sutter's Mill, Coloma, California

    This initiated the California Gold Rush and during the next few years, thousands of people flocked to the area to search for gold. Some nuggets of gold in the native metallic form were simply lying on the ground. More were found by panning streambeds, and later, increasingly technological mining methods were employed. John A. Sutter was building a sawmill at Coloma on the American Fork River, to provide lumber for construction projects. His contractor, James W. Marshall made the first discovery of specimens of gold, which he showed to Sutter, who chemically identified it was gold. Further samples were found in the grave of the tail-race of the mill. As recently as 2011, the discovery in northern California of a 100-ounce gold nugget was reported.

Wedding is such an occasion in a man's life where nobody would ever tolerate anything to go wrong and therefore wants to take care of every possible detail for the wedding. To have a better wedding ceremony everything should work as per planned and one should take care of the every possible details. A perfectly planned wedding and the proper execution of the plans is considered to be the perfect wedding ceremony. The wedding table plays an important part and the center table is the center of all the gathering of the guests and therefore it is important that one should pay proper attention to the center table decoration very well.

However, for to decorate your wedding table the choice of the table cloth is very much important too. The snowy white color of the cloth is a traditional bridal choice, but colors chosen to coordinate with the room decoration or the wedding party decoration are also quite popular ideas for the decoration of your wedding table. Of course it is a fact that some of us think that the color of the table cloth and the napkins should match with each other in order to have a better look. But the real fact is that you can always use your own innovative ideas for the purpose. There is no hard and fast rule that the color of the napkins should match the color of the table cloth. You can easily use dark colored napkins with light colored table cloth to give an elegant look to the wedding table.

You should always think beyond the center of the table to create a unique impression with your wedding table decorations. There is also a very important role play of flowers in your whole wedding decoration.

And the use of flowers for your wedding table should be such that the table gets a totally different look with them.

Choose the style of decoration carefully and remember that sometimes a simple but well thought decoration can make the whole thing appear brilliant. This is what you should try to maintain in your whole wedding decoration for the better look.

However, though the center wedding table gets a lot of attention in your wedding, but that does not means that you can neglect the other aspects of the wedding. To get this right one must take care of every single details carefully so that there may not remain any gap to be the target of criticism. And it is very well known to all of us that how much you can get criticized if there remains any gap in the perfect planning of your wedding.

To think of the other aspects of the wedding, another thing comes in mind is the need of the disposable cameras in your wedding. It is very good idea if you get some disposable cameras ready for the occasion so for the use of the guests. You can easily have them carefully placed on your center wedding table with a card beside it allowing the guests to use them at their will. And by this you shall not miss any single moment of your wedding party.
