    WIRELESS TELEPHONE AT WHITE HOUSE
    November 21, 1919 - White House, U.S.A.

    President Wilson used a radio telephone set up on the south portico of the White House to direct the maneuvers of a dozen army airplanes flying over the Potomac river several miles away. His telephoned directions went direct to the flight commander in the air. The instrument was similar to those used by American aviators in France in the latter part of World War I. Col. C. C. Culver actively developed the equipment. He began the project in Aug 1910. No new invention was needed, only adaptation and adjustment of existing techniques. By Aug 1916, he was able to send a radio telegraph signal from a plane. Enlisting expert help from the telephone companies, by Oct 1917, voice messages could be send between a plane and the ground. The system was put into service for military wartime use.

    EDISON'S PHONOGRAPH
    November 21, 1877 - New York City, U.S.A.

    Thomas Edison announced his invention of his "talking machine" - the tin-foil cylinder recorder that preceeded the phonograph. He appears to have envisioned it as a business dictation machine. In Sep 1877, he wrote that its purpose was "to record automatically the speech of a very rapid speaker upon paper; from which he reproduces the same Speech immediately or years afterwards preserving the characteristics of the speakers voice so that persons familiar with it would at once recognize it." The indented tin foil, however, would survive only a few playings. By the first public showing of a phonograph, which took place in New York City in early Feb 1878, its practical applications had not yet been realized.

  • A Change is Gonna Come
    by Meredith Grey

    "...Change; we don't like it, we fear it, but we can't stop it from coming. We either adapt to change, or we get left behind. It hurts to grow, anybody who tells you it doesn't is lying. But here's the truth: Sometimes the more things change, the more they stay the same. And sometimes, oh, sometimes change is good. Sometimes change is everything...."

    about Stolen On New Year's

    More vehicles are stolen on New Year's Day than any other holiday throughout the year. (So does that mean thieves are having their last fling before changing their ways or are they trying for a big score to start the New Year?)

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.
