    Two or three decades ago, a wedding typically proved, well, typical. At most celebrations, guests knew what expect, said Randy Fenoli, star of the TLC series Say Yes to the Dress. "You knew when the cake was going to be cut, when the garter would be thrown or dinner served," he told The Dispatch in a recent phone interview. "Everyone's dress was similar."

Late payments carry a 5 percent penalty on the unpaid portion of taxes during the first 10 days it goes unpaid, and a 10 percent charge af..

    Testimony: Many of utility resellers' practices should be outlawed
    Consumers face "substantial harm" from unfair and unregulated charges from companies that resell utilities, a situation that calls for a ban on the harmful practices, according to joint testimony from two of the country's largest utilities. American Electric Power and Duke Energy say utility regulators should essentially outlaw many of the practices. At the same time, trade groups for property owners and the resellers themselves are asking for a hands-off approach. "Today, a landlord or submete..
