    NUCLEAR BOMB
    November 17, 1976 - Western China

    China detonated its most powerful nuclear device in an atmospheric test. An H-6 bomber dropped it over Lop Nur desert test site in the remote Xinjiang province of Western China. It was their 21st test, equivalent to 4 megatons of TNT, reportedly 320 times greater than the Hiroshima bomb. A weak radiation cloud drifted high above the U.S. north-west Pacific coast three days later. The monster blast was to demonstrate military strength to both America and Russia. It remains their most powerful to date (2011). A photo released Jul 1977 showed many observers, mostly soldiers, watching the distant blast. A sign in front of them read "Welcome with cheers the inauguration of Hua Kuo-feng as leader of the Party and Liberation Army," who took over from Mao Tse-tung in Oct 1976.

    NEUTRON BOMB
    November 17, 1978 - Moscow

    From Moscow, Leonid I. Brezhnev said the Soviets had tested their own neutron bomb. A neutron bomb is designed primarily as a battlefield weapon to use massive bursts of radiation to kill people, rather than explosive force, to minimize damage to structures. Brezhnev gave a 50-minute monologue at the Kremlin to a visting group of U.S. seanators, including astronaut senator John Glenn. Brezhnev stated that "Many years ago our tester [Korlokov] ... tested that bomb. We tested, but we never started production of that weapon." He added, "We do not want to unlease a nuclear war because we are not crazy." He agreed with President Carter that tension had lessened between the two superpowers. The Associated Press reported the quotes based on a shorthand transcript made by a senate aide.

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. However, it is not always a good idea to have your wedding table loaded with flowers. 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.
