Prepare the arrangement by pokeing the base end of a stick into the florist foam. The tricky part is to achieve the "floral bouquet" look. Try to imagine the fruits going up in a bouquet shape, with a pointed middle piece and with the bulk of the fruits layering out to the sides. Use your original; sketches and designs in this stage, but do not feel you have to follow them, follow your creative instincts first.
Can anybody tell me what she want to tell ?
The paragraph describes how to make an arrangement that looks like a floral bouquet using florist foam, a stick, and fruit.

What are "Water Jewels" made of?
Has anyone else heard of them? They are sold at craft stores in the same department as floral design supplies, as vase fillers for fresh or silk flower arrangements.
They start out as tiny hard spheres; the clear color variety looks just like the silicone dessicant found in shoe boxes (to keep them dry). When you leave them in water for about 1 hour each one swells up to about marble size and becomes a beautiful clear or colored sparkling orb. Then they are squishy and slippery. Most amusing.
The package is about 2 inches across and contains 200 or so. They come in clear, blue, and green so far but they CAN be colored with food coloring as they expand.
Warm water makes them expand faster.
They shrink back to original size when they dry out in about a week!
Salt destroys them completely.
What the heck are they???
What are "Water Jewels" made of?
I just looked at the package I have. It just refers to product as poly crystals. No where on the packaging does it state what they are made of. It just says it is a non-toxic polymer that absorbs water. I guess that's the best answer we're going to get.

Anybody know where i can find real stargazer lilies in bulk online?
i'm going to be ordering flowers in bulk and having a family friend do my bouquets and arrangements (she's experienced.) i've looked at the sam's club website, they have other kinds of lilies but not stargazers. these are my favorite flowers, and i'd really like to have them for my wedding. are there any other bulk floral websites out there?
Anybody know where i can find real stargazer lilies in bulk online?
Lilium or stargazer lilies are also known as oriental lilies (not asiatic) and can be bought in bulk at costco online
Reply:http://www.flowerbud.com/flower-market/g...
Reply:Try theflowerexchange.com They've got lots of flowers you can order and good prices.
Are they seasonal? Sams club used to have stargazer lillies online.
Reply:I have heard good things about www.freshroses.com....last I checked they had more than just roses you could get and the prices aren't bad either.
Proflowers.com is pretty good but the prices are a little high
Flowerbud.com ditto
Talk to the florists in the area...perhaps they would be willing to sell the you lillies but at a discount since they wouldn't be doing the arrangements. Some of the nice ones might even tell you who their supplier is so you could order directly from them.

How can I make this flower arrangement? HELP?
I was watching a wedding show, and saw a floral arrangment simmilar to this...
http://www.timelessmomentz.com/Floating_...
How do i get floating candles like that?
and do i just use water?
Can I use any type of flower?
Thanks =]
How can I make this flower arrangement? HELP?
You can get floating candles anywhere. Less than $2 a piece. Try google search "Floating candles."
You just use water.
You can't use any kind of flowers. The petals have to be firm. Soft petals won't hold their original shape when they are submerged into the water. The one you see in the picture is called "Mokara Orchid." Either this one, or you can use Dendrobium Orchid (cheaper) or Cymbidium Orchid (expensive).
Don't use silk. They are too soft; besides, they are too buoyant.
Reply:i don't know if that is water or a special oil. i have seen both. you can buy floating candles almost anywhere. you could use whatever type flower you wanted, silk would last a long time.
http://i.ivillage.com/HH/slideshows/Spri...
Reply:I would recommend silk flowers because not all flowers do well submerged in water like that for long periods of time. All you need is the floating candles and the glass votive which are cheap. Any craft store would have them but i would try and find them online.

How do I remove my TeleFloraThomas Kinkade Church from the plastic floral base?
The Church sits atop a plastic base that holds the "foam" that the flowers were stuck in. We haven't been able to remove the Church from the base to replace the batteries and to use it alone since the flowers and greenery died and have been thrown out. To see an example of the type of arrangement it was, you can see the 2007 version at the Telefora website. The person at the 800# couldn't tell me how to do it. Here is a direct link to the TeleFlora arrangement for 2007.

How do I remove my TeleFloraThomas Kinkade Church from the plastic floral base?
If you look at the bottom picture it looks like the base has been removed - unless the base you are talking about is what appears to be snow.
If you are afraid to do this take it to the florist that delivered it and ask them to show you how to remove the base and replace the batteries.
Hope this helps. :)

Reply:Here's how you remove the church:
1. get a sharp knife, lots of old news papers, a small garbage bag, needle nose pliers, a large screwdriver with ice, and a pair for gloves.
First if there is carpet involved or small pets or children you want to play it safe and spread out lots of old news papers. Grab a tall glass from the shelf and fix yourself a tall "screwdriver" with lots of ice.
Next put on the thin rubber gloves (so you will not break a nail or scratch your hands) then take the needle node pliers and carefully remove all the floral arrangement. Put the pieces into the garbage bag.
Third: Get your very sharp knife and carefully cut away the attached Styrofoam around the bottom of the church. Put all the foam into the small garbage bag.
Fourth: Now you should be down to the "nitty gritty" and take a good look under the church for a little trap door. Then remove the old batteries and replace them with new ones. Not just any batteries, get EverReady and you will be all set.
Good luck in your venture!

I need some general ideas please?
Sarah’s Flower Designs is a fledgling, home-based business in Madison, Wisconsin, consisting of three employees. Sarah, the owner, handles all of the floral arrangements. Her assistant, Mark, handles the purchasing of flowers, related materials, and takes telephone and walk-in orders from customers. Mark also keeps the financial and client records in order. Kim is the delivery driver and makes local deliveries to homes and businesses.
Sarah’s Flower Designs is looking to upgrade its computer system (an older model PC) to help keep up with the growing demand of their customers. They would like to house their client information and order histories on their new system, as well as bill their customers electronically. They also want Kim to have a way to keep track of customer addresses and specific delivery instructions while she is on the road. What IT recommendations would you make for Sarah’s Flower Designs?
I need some general ideas please?
I suggest you use a tracking system. Write down everyone actions.
It seem like Mark is a great worker.
Do you have microsoft office or quickbooks?

Can you tell this in your own words?
Place a sheet or two of colored tissue paper over the foam. It is thin enough to be pierced by the fruit arranged on sticks and will both cover the foam and provide the tissue paper look of a floral bouquet. If you have some hanging over the edges, this can be "fluffed up" once the fruit arrangement has been made.

Please name some flowers that would make a nice wedding bouquet?!?
I'm getting married Nov. 1st and a friend of my fiance's family said as our wedding gift she is going to pay/do all our flowers (yippy)! She has been asking about what flowers do I want in mine and my bridesmaids bouquets. I have no idea?! I know my colors are apple red, silver and white. I was thinking that my bridesmaids have white flowers (since they're dressed in red) and mine be red. Can you please give me some good floral arrangement ideas? Thanks!

Math Combinations/Permutations Question?
A florist has to make a floral arrangement. She has 6 banksias, 5 wattles and 4 waratahs. All the flowers of each kind are different. In how many ways can the florist make a bunch of 10 flowers if she has to use at least 3 of each kind?
I know it has been asked before but the answer given was unclear. Any help appreciated thanks
Math Combinations/Permutations Question?
First 3 positiion = Banksias
So 6 x 5 x 4 = 120
Second 3 Positions = Wattles
5 x 4 x 3 = 60
Third 3 Positions = Waratahs
So 4 x 3 x 2 = 24
120 x 60 x 24 = 172800
There must be 3 banksias, 2 wattles and 1 waratah left to take last position
therefore 6 ways to take last space
So 172800 x 6
= 1036800
Reply:3*3*3*3*3*3*3*3*3*3 = Answer
Reply:for a bunch of 10 flowers ( at least 3 from each kind of A ( 6 ), B ( 5 ). C ( 4 ) ways are = C(4,4)*C(5,3)*C(6,3)
+ C(4,3)*C(5,4)*C(6,3)
+ C(4,3)*C(5,3)*C(6,4)
= 1*10*20 + 4*5*20 + 4*10*15
= 200 + 400 + 600
= 1200 ways
Reply:permutations are an ordered set without repititions. combinations are an unordered set of unique combinations. For example, both 2,3,5 and 3,2,5 are acceptable subsets of a permutation. However, a combination considers these to be the same subset.
In your case, with the flowers, either the question is very simple and the answer is three, or it's very complex and I don't feel like getting into it.
Reply:Basically you need to determine how many combinations per type of flower there are. Then you know you can "combine" those seperate "choices"/combinations together to get your 10 flowers.
So (6 choose 3) = # of ways to arrange those 6 flowers (# of ways to combine them/choose)
Do the same for the other two groups of flowers (5 choose 3) and (4 choose 3).
Finally you need to select 1 flower. We have already choose 9 of the total 15, so 6 are left. So the last flower would be (6 choose 1) which is 6.
So the total number of ways to choose 10 flowers would be:
(6 choose 3) * (5 choose 3) * (4 choose 3) * 6

Half Whiskey Barrel Fell Apart?
I have not used my half whiskey barrell for 2 years. I was told to store it upside down so it would't fall apart. When I picked it up, the whole thing came apart. I want to put it back together, but it keeps coming apart afer a few boards are put back in. Does anyone know how to fix this. Do I need to soak the boards before I try this to get them to swell up. Any help would be appreciated.
When my Dad died I was given a floral arrangement in this barrel, so it is special and I would really like to save it if possible. Any help would be deep appreciated.
Half Whiskey Barrel Fell Apart?
u mite need to soak the boards to get them to expand and then when soaked up enough try to put them bk together once it back to normal and the floral arrangement is in keep the wood soaked or wet it stops the boards drying out which will make the boards fall apart again. cant remember wot the opposite of expand was.
Reply:If you do get the barrell together you should put wire or a strip of metal around the barrell to hold it together so it won't come apart again.

What grabs your attention when ordering flowers, color,design, what?
Ive ask that question because I am a florist and this shop has experience growth this past year.
We want to stand out in the floral industry. We offer already other free services that other shops dont offer. Such as pictures of their arrangement or gifts sent to their emails , so they can enjoy the gifts as well. This has really made a difference with our customers. Some of our customers have said they stop ordering online because they were recieving products that just wasnt what they ordered.
What grabs your attention when ordering flowers, color,design, what?
My main thing when ordering flowers is the color selection. I like deep, rich colors like pumpkin orange, chocolate brown, blood red, etc. Like fall colors, mostly.
Reply:i look for something more interesting than just flowers. a decorative vase that can be used again. maybe river rocks and twigs that can be saved after the flowers die. beautiful ribbons and bows. oh--and i hate those generic business card size greetings that come on the arangement. people will spend $50 for a nice arangement, and then they cheap out on the card! i wish there were classier choices in this area.
i really enjoy progressive, trendy looks, almost a japanese style, a feeling or emotion should be conveyed through flower arangements.

Would a libra like an Edible Creation?
lol I always get my sisters their birthday gifts early or at least start thinking about them early on, so I'll have enough money to spend. Well, I always got my older sis (who is a libra) clothes and she seems to never think they are good enough. Last year I got her a beautiful 18K gold star charm bracelet that was over 300 dollars. Still she was not fully satisfied. So...this year I am just going to get her something different. An edible creation is an edible fruit arrangement that looks like a floral arrangement. What do you think?
Would a libra like an Edible Creation?
I am a Libra and I would love it if someone gave me an edible, decorative (at least until I eat it) and beautiful gift like that.
It sounds like you've put a lot of thought into your sister and if she doesn't like this she won't like anything!
It's a beautiful idea and so very thoughtful of you! You sound like a really sweet person.
Reply:I'm also a Libra and it sounds great to me.
Is it possible that you intimidate her and she uses her nonchalance about your gifts to get back at you? When people are always rude it is either because they don't know any better or its about Power.
Reply:moral: never buy expensive gifts for ungrateful siblings. lol im a libra and if you were to buy me an edible gift, the best gift would be... chocolate! yum lol. all the librans i know(my sister, my aunty, me, etc...) are obsessed with chocolate. were chocoholics!!! yum... might raid the fridge for some chocolate now... lol!
Reply:Well, your sister sounds really rude for rejecting your gift like that. I mean, who would do that? Anyway, what I would do is not get her anything. But that's just me.
Reply:I'm a Libra, and I would love people giving me presents with sincerity, its the thoughts that counts for a Libra, really..

A florist has to make a floral arrangement. She has 6 banksias, 5 wattles and 4 waratahs. All the flowers of each kind are different. In how many ways can the florist make a bunch of 10 flowers if she has to use at least 3 of each kind?

Call the flowers 6A, 5B, 4C. All the flowers of each kind are different =%26gt; each combination of them is unique.
So Pascal's coefficient gives the formula for choosing m objects from a collection of n unique objects:
C(n,m) = n!/(n-m)!m!

I would like some assistance please?
Ok, so, there is this girl i really really REALLY like! but she goes to college 5 states away! :( And i tried bringing up the whole "what are we?" question, but i didnt get a clear answer (i dont think she tried to make it cloudy) and i didnt want to press it. Now she has asked me to go to her family's for thanksgiving. I already said yes, but should i like bring a floral arrangement for her mom or something? and how can a i casualy bring up the "what are we?" question without seeming like a creepy naggy guy? Im so confused! please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would like some assistance please?
I think the floral arrangement is a must for her mom.
There must be something for the girl as well but not as good as for her mom.
Don't mention "what are we" topic.
She invited you to her home and it means something.
Time will show.
Reply:Five states? Hope you live in New England and not out West!! What are you...you are five states away is what you are...enough said...
Reply:I think it would be nice to bring a flower arrangement for her mother, or a bottle of wine (depending on how old you are and if they are wine drinkers or not). Nothing too fancy or too costly, however.
If you want my opinion, I think you should just enjoy the time together. The more good times she has being with you (no pressure, etc.) the more things will go in your favor, if you know what I mean. Wait until a time when it is just the two of you to bring up the question again. If it isn't an answer that you are going to like, how awkward, for one, if you bring up during the middle of a Thanksgiving get-together. I think you will know when the time is right to bring up the question again. I think it is a good sign that she invited you to dinner though! Good luck!
Reply:Look this is what you do...Bring her mom the flowers, and when you go and talk to her this is what you say, tell her that you really like her and you would like to know where you stand in her life, to know if she looks at you as a friend or more...
Reply:Just do it..in what ever way you know how. You will eat yourself up forever if you hold it in. I know it is hard and you feel out of place. This is what life is about. Maybe you can ask her hat she thinks of you and then you can tell her what you think of her. Good luck and be blessed.
Reply:well just bring some desserts over like apple pie or something.the flower thing sounds nice too.but i'm pretty sure she won't mind you asking again.so just have the guts to ask her!you can't waste your life asking "why?" live your life!
Reply:Flowers are a nice idea, but don't go overboard.
Tell her you may seem dense, but you're not sure enough of yourself to know what she meant when she wrote back.
Gotta tell you, getting invited to Thanksgiving dinner is a step in the right direction. Be on your best behavior, they'll all have something to say to her about you.
Good luck.
I would like some assistance please?
I think the floral arrangement is a must for her mom.
There must be something for the girl as well but not as good as for her mom.
Don't mention "what are we" topic.
She invited you to her home and it means something.
Time will show.
Reply:Five states? Hope you live in New England and not out West!! What are you...you are five states away is what you are...enough said...
Reply:I think it would be nice to bring a flower arrangement for her mother, or a bottle of wine (depending on how old you are and if they are wine drinkers or not). Nothing too fancy or too costly, however.

What we're looking at on Yahoo isn't what you're looking at, Lisa, so we can't give you measurements that are accurate.
But this may help you figure it out.
Picas and points are measurements--like inches, yards and miles are measurements, but smaller. There are 6 picas in every inch or 72 points in an inch. So for question #5 (I'll take the easy one first), measure the width of your line of text --(let's say it's 2 inches) then multiply by 6 to get the number of picas (2 x 6 = 12 picas). In question 5, answer B would be exactly 3 inches in length and D would be about 4 1/3". I'll let you work out the other two.
Question 6 is easy: look at your sample paragraph. If the words all line up down the right side of the page, but zigzag down the left edge, it's A. Answer B is the opposite: words line up on left side of the page, but don't on the right.
If they don't line up on either side, go with answer C and if they line up evenly on both sides, the paragraph is fully justified (D).
No one can give you a definite answer for Questions 3 and 4 because only you can see the actual type in your question. But here's a suggestion for Question 3: in MS Word or another word processing program, choose a font like Ariel with a type size of 10. Type in and print out your paragraph and see how it matches up. Does the font look similar? If not, try another, such as Times New Roman.
When you get a font that looks like the one in your sample, print it out and compare it to your sample. Adjust the size until you get it to match exactly (if you're lucky!). Then look to see what point size that is. A 12 point Ariel is much larger visually than a 12 point Times, so to make this work, you need to find the exact font and size. It's important to print it out each time because computer monitors distort sizes.
Or, you can buy a points ruler which will help you measure the height of the letters (point size) and the leading (the distance from the bottom of of the type on line 1 down to the bottom of line 2. 1/4" = 25 points and 1/8"=12.5 points, but it is very difficult to measure with a standard ruler.
If the lines of type are touching the lines below and above, the answer to question 4 will be the same as # 3. But usually type is set with at least 2 points of extra space (leading) between the lines.
Even if we were seeing the exact font you see, our monitors all are set slightly differently, so what looks like 12 point Times Roman on your monitor would look an entirely different size on another person's.
You can also take your sample to the office of a printer or newspaper and they can tell you the answers to questions 3 and 4.
Hope that has helped!

Maths Question, HELP!?
Question 1. Show that 43^n + 83 x 92^(3n - 1) is divisible for all positive intergers n.
Question 2. A florist has to make a floral arrangement. She has 6 banksias, 5 wattles and 4 waratahs. All the flowers of each kind are different. In how many ways can the florist make a bunch of 10 flowers if she has to use at least 3 of each kind?
Maths Question, HELP!?
1) 43^n + 83 x 92^(3n - 1)
***You can solve this with recurrence:
1- Prove this is true for n=1
2- Prove that if it is true for n, it is also true for n+1
Then it is true for any strictly positive integer
**************
For n =1
P(1) = 43^1 + 83*92^(3-1)= 702,555
702,555 = 7*100,365
So it is true for n=1
**************
if it is true for n, then P(n) = 43^n+83*92^(3n-1) = 7q
where q is an integer.
Let us know verify it is true for n+1:
P(n+1) = 43^(n+1) + 83*92^(3n+3-1)
P(n+1)= 43^(n+1) + 83*92^(3n-1)*92^2
we know that: 83*92^(3n-1) = 7p - 43^n
Let us replace that in the previous formula:
P(n+1) = 43^(n+1) + (7p - 43^n)*92^2
P(n+1) = 7p*92^2 + 43^(n+1) - 43^n*92^2
P(n+1) = 7p*92^2 +43^n(43-92^2)
P(n+1) = 7p*92^2 - 43^n*8,421
8,421 = 7*1,203, so:
P(n+1) = 7(p*92^2 -43^n*1,203)
P(n+1) is divisible by 7.
so P(n) is divisible by any integer n%26gt;0
Question 2. A florist has to make a floral arrangement. She has 6 banksias, 5 wattles and 4 waratahs. All the flowers of each kind are different. In how many ways can the florist make a bunch of 10 flowers if she has to use at least 3 of each kind?
Pick a banksia = 6
Pick a banksia = 5
Pick a banksia = 4
Pick a wattle = 5
Pick a wattle = 4
Pick a wattle = 3
Pick a waratah = 4
Pick a waratah = 3
Pick a waratah = 2
Remaining flowers = 3 banksias, 2 wattles and 1 waratah = 6
Pick a banksia / wattle /waratah = 6
So, total ways
6 x 5 x 4 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 6 = 1036800
Reply:And provide CORRECT answer (1036800???) too! Report It
Reply:Q1. Divisible by what, I don't see? By 7 as Mika has supposed? Well, that can be done directly, which is much shorter than inductively:
43 = 42 + 1 = 7*6 + 1≡ 1 (mod 7);
83 = 84 - 1 = 7*12 - 1 ≡ -1 (mod 7);
92 = 91 +1 = 7*13 + 1 ≡ 1 (mod 7), so
43^n + 83 x 92^(3n - 1) ≡ 1^n - 1*1^(3n-1) ≡ 1 - 1 ≡ 0 (mod 7).
Q2. Sum 10 can be obtained by 3 ways:
10 = 3 + 3 + 4 = 3 + 4 + 3 = 4 + 3 + 3, then the answer is
(6C3)*(5C3)*(4C4) + (6C3)*(5C4)*(4C3) + (6C4)*(5C3)*(4C3) =
200 + 400 + 600 = 1200, much less (3!3!4! = 6*6*24 times) than Mika has found.
Here nCr is the number of combinations of "n" things, taken "r" at a time.

P(n+1) = 7p*92^2 +43^n(43-92^2)
P(n+1) = 7p*92^2 - 43^n*8,421
8,421 = 7*1,203, so:
P(n+1) = 7(p*92^2 -43^n*1,203)
P(n+1) is divisible by 7.

candles or bowls filled with water and floating candles, loose flower petals strewn across the table, all these small touches look really great under dim lighting in a reception hall and save room on the table for the china.

Or sprinkle rose petals or whatever your flower girl will be sprinkling down the aisle down the middle of the tables. Or make a centerpiece for each table with a collage of pictures of the bride and groom, from childhood up. Or...well, there are just about a thousand different things to do! Honestly, though, centerpieces don't have to be that expensive. You can use inexpensive flowers like carnations, daisies, baby's breath, etc., with a lot of green. Forget your florist. Go to someplace like Costco or Sam's club--you can get something that will match or coordinate with your wedding flowers for about $15 each, and no one will be the wiser. If you make something else, in the end you've only saved maybe $100. Think about it.

Can u please help me?
A florist has to make a floral arrangement. She has 6 banksias, 5 wattles and 4 waratahs. All the flowers of each kind are different. In how many ways can the florist make a bunch of 10 flowers if she has to use at least 3 of each kind?
Can u please help me?
Three ways. That´s because if she has to use at least three of each flower that leaves room for one more flower only , then choosing among the rest of the flowers you can make only three combinations of bunches.
Reply:If she has to use at least 3 of each kind then that takes of 9 of the 10 spots. So the difference would be what she put in the 10th spot. she has three choices.

Can you write this in your own words and make shorter?
Prepare the arrangement by pokeing the base end of a stick into the florist foam. The tricky part is to achieve the "floral bouquet" look. Try to imagine the fruits going up in a bouquet shape, with a pointed middle piece and with the bulk of the fruits layering out to the sides. Use your original; sketches and designs in this stage, but do not feel you have to follow them, follow your creative instincts first.

Permutations and Combinations?
A florist has to make a floral arrangement. She has 6 banksias, 5 wattles and 4 waratahs. All the flowers of each kind are different. In how many ways can the florist make a bunch of 10 flowers if she has to use aat least 3 of each kind?
Thanks very much in advance
Permutations and Combinations?
First put 3 of each:
3 banksias
3 wattles
3 waratahs
That means you have 9 out of 10 flowers already.
You have to choose one more, out of three types.
The answer is:
3C1 = 3.

You should begin looking for floral vendors now and check to see what they've done in the past ... let them know what your colors are and what styles you like and they can go from there. A lot of them will put together samples - for a small fee - so that you're sure you like the designs.
Reply:Baby Chrysanthemums with Baby's Breath, tied with sheer ribbons of all your colors. I love you colors, by the way.
Congratulations to you!
Reply:there is not going to be simple flower arrangement if you have a million colors.
Reply:http://www.hickerphoto.com/data/media/18...
it's hard to pick an arrangement without seeing the dress or knowing the setting...
Reply:To punch up those colours a little bit, I would have a mixed coloured bouquet with a mixture of flowers as well - pinks, yellows, peaches, a little purple - with the greenery. You could have a combo of carnations, daisies, sweetheart roses, alstromeria, etc.

Reply:Make several appointments to interview several florists. That is why you go to a professional. The florist will know the best flowers to complement your colors and budget. Do not be shy about setting and keeping a budget. They deal with bride after bride all year long and know that everyone has a different pocket book. You know what you can spend and the florist knows what flowers will be in bloom that time of year in your colors and price range.
Congratulations.

Centerpiece ideas? Pink/Yellow/Blue colors? help?
I'm not sure what to do for the centerpieces this a fairytale princess/prince theme wedding.... I've been shown the horse and carriage candle holders. I don't really like them. It is very traditional in my family that the centerpieces be something that at the end one lucky guest at each table usually walks away with. I want it to being something they can cherish that makes them rememeber our wedding. Even ideas for floral arrangements are welcome! thanks!!

Reply:I like Mrs. S idea above. i would want ot take that home.
Reply:One idea I saw on here for a cinderella theme wedding was to use ceramic pumpkins. The girl painted them and then she sprayed them with glitter spray. Then you could use glitter, votives, etc around this. I thought that was a unique idea.
Reply:How about a nice bowl with floating candles in those same colors? It'll make the room look pretty when all the lights are off except for the candles. Or you can use white candles and use food dye to change the color of the water in the bowl. :)
EDIT - Pastel colored vases with white roses or lillies?
Reply:I like the ceramic pumpkin idea. For a more formal look, you could try to find a crystal or porcelain pumpkin vase, and have your pastel floral arrangements inside. A dozen pastel colored roses would look good. Accent with candles.
Reply:hmmm, little sand castles.....? Pretty paper covered storage boxes filled with silk flowers? How about an actual book of fairy tales with a pretty cover.. .you could drape it with a string of silk flowers.
Reply:Well, I am not sure how many tables you are planning to have, but what if you did each of them after different fairytales?
Maybe you could do a white pumpkin centerpiece? I am sure there are many ways to dress it up.

Ladies,would you date me if you knew me?
I am a dynamic figure, often seen scaling walls and crushing ice. I have been known to remodel train stations on my lunch breaks, making them more efficient in the area of heat retention. I translate ethnic slurs for Cuban refugees, I write award-winning operas, I manage time efficiently. Occasionally, I tread water for three days in a row.
I woo women with my sensuous and godlike trombone playing, I can pilot bicycles up severe inclines with unflagging speed, and I cook Thirty-Minute Brownies in twenty minutes. I am an expert in stucco, a veteran in love, and an outlaw in Peru.
Using only a hoe and a large glass of water, I once single-handedly defended a small village in the Amazon Basin from a horde of ferocious army ants. I play bluegrass cello, I was scouted by the Mets, I am the subject of numerous documentaries. When I'm bored, I build large suspension bridges in my yard. I enjoy urban hang gliding. On Wednesdays, after school, I repair electrical appliances free of charge.
I am an abstract artist, a concrete analyst, and a ruthless bookie. Critics worldwide swoon over my original line of corduroy evening wear. I don't perspire. I am a private citizen, yet I receive fan mail. I have been caller number nine and have won the weekend passes. Last summer, I toured New Jersey with a traveling centrifugal-force demonstration. I bat .400. My deft floral arrangements have earned me fame in international botany circles. Children trust me.
I can hurl tennis rackets at small moving objects with deadly accuracy. I once read Paradise Lost, Moby Dick, and David Copperfield in one day and still had time to refurbish an entire dining room that evening. I know the exact location of every food item in the supermarket. I have performed several covert operations for the CIA. I sleep once a week; when I do sleep, I sleep in a chair. While on vacation in Canada, I successfully negotiated with a group of terrorists who had seized a small bakery. The laws of physics do not apply to me.
I balance, I weave, I dodge, I frolic, and my bills are all paid. On weekends, to let off steam, I participate in full-contact origami. Years ago, I discovered the meaning of life but forgot to write it down. I have made extraordinary four course meals using only a mouli and a toaster oven. I breed prizewinning clams. I have won bullfights in San Juan, cliff-diving competitions in Sri Lanka, and spelling bees at the Kremlin. I have played Hamlet, I have performed open-heart surgery, and I have spoken with Elvis.
But I have not yet gone to college.
Ladies,would you date me if you knew me?
Absolutely I would. I am infact, a sensuous and goddess-like trombone player myself. I really enjoyed your piece. Well written and entertaining after a tiring work day. Only slightly marred by the fact that quite a few people are stupid enough to take it seriously. Even though you have not yet attended college, you are better educated than they. Well done.

I have just started an IT class and need help with giving computer systems advice for these scenarios?
Scenario 1
Sarah’s Flower Designs is a fledgling, home-based business in Madison, Wisconsin, consisting of three employees. Sarah, the owner, handles all of the floral arrangements. Her assistant, Mark, handles the purchasing of flowers, related materials, and takes telephone and walk-in orders from customers. Mark also keeps the financial and client records in order. Kim is the delivery driver and makes local deliveries to homes and businesses.
Sarah’s Flower Designs is looking to upgrade its computer system (an older model PC) to help keep up with the growing demand of their customers. They would like to house their client information and order histories on their new system, as well as bill their customers electronically. They also want Kim to have a way to keep track of customer addresses and specific delivery instructions while she is on the road. What IT recommendations would you make for Sarah’s Flower Designs?
Scenario 2
SBI Corporation is a financial consulting organization based out of Dallas, Texas with four satellite offices located throughout the southwestern United States. The company has 300 full-time employees, 20 of whom travel to various office locations 2 to 4 days a week. These 20 employees do not have access to email and other company programs when they are traveling.
SBI Corporation wants to improve their company Web site to provide its clients with access to their portfolio information 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The company also wants to supply technology equipment to employees who travel on a regular basis, in order to keep them in the loop. What IT recommendations would you make for SBI Corporation?
Scenario 3
The Helping Hands League is a nonprofit organization out of Orlando, Florida that offers assistance to elderly and handicapped individuals. Currently, the league has 35 volunteers who are assigned to help different people in the community with errands, reading, cooking, and household chores.
The Helping Hands League does not have a lot of money to spend on technology. The league wants to keep records on each client and volunteer for tax purposes and have the ability to create schedules for volunteers to ensure the needs of each client are being met. What IT recommendations would you make for the Helping Hands League?
Scenario 4
John is an up-and-coming jazz singer and songwriter. He has regular gigs performing his original music at a neighborhood wine bar and a local Italian restaurant in his hometown of Santa Barbara, California. John is frequently asked by many of the wine bar and restaurant patrons if he has a CD recording of his songs for sale.
John has not been signed to a record label as of yet, but he has been thinking about recording an album independently and selling it online and at his shows. He would like to record and produce the album on his own, at his house. John would also like to keep track of his personal and professional finances, listen to the audition recordings of session musicians interested in playing with him on his album, and have access to the Internet. What IT recommendations would you make for John?

Hey doctor, can you keep a secret? (joke)?
Liz Taylor goes in to see her cosmetic surgeon. "I have met the man of my dreams, finally, the love of my life !" she announces to the surgeon, "But I need you to help me with a small problem. This man is only 18 years old, I am truly head over heels in love with him, and don't want to disappoint him in any way, so I want you to make my vagina look like that of an 18 year old."
The surgeon tells Liz of the delicate situations involved with this operation, but does finally agree to performing the said operation.
"But one thing" Liz says "you have to swear to me that no one knows about this operation, that no magazines or tabloids hear about it!"
"I swear Liz" the surgeon replies.
The big day arrives, Liz goes under the knife, the operation goes text book perfect and she is moved to a recovery room. Upon regaining consciousness, Liz's eyes focus on three huge floral arrangements at the foot of her bed. As the surgeon enters the room to check on her, Liz bursts into tears.

Question! Could you do this if you were really angry ?
The following is supposedly a true story. To be included, besides being true, the story is most likely strange, weird, surprising, or funny.
Phone Won't Stop Ringing?
Here's What You Do
Leola Starling of Ribrock, Tenn., had a serious telephone problem. But unlike most people she did something about it.
The brand-new $10 million Ribrock Plaza Motel opened nearby and had acquired almost the same telephone number as Leola.
From the moment the motel opened, Leola was besieged by calls not for her. Since she had the same phone number for years, she felt that she had a case to persuade the motel management to change its number.
Naturally, the management refused claiming that it could not change its stationery.
The phone company was not helpful, either. A number was a number, and just because a customer was getting someone else's calls 24 hours a day didn't make it responsible. After her pleas fell on deaf ears, Leola decided to take matters into her own hands.
At 9 o'clock the phone rang. Someone from Memphis was calling the motel and asked for a room for the following Tuesday. Leoloa said, "No problem. How many nights?"
A few hours later Dallas checked in. A secretary wanted a suite with two bedrooms for a week. Emboldened, Leola said the Presidential Suite on the 10th floor was available for $600 a night. The secretary said that she would take it and asked if the hotel wanted a deposit. "No, that won't be necessary," Leola said. "We trust you."
The next day was a busy one for Leola. In the morning, she booked an electric appliance manufacturers' convention for Memorial Day weekend, a college prom and a reunion of the 82nd Airborne veterans from World War II.
She turned on her answering machine during lunchtime so that she could watch her favorite soap opera, but her biggest challenge came in the afternoon when a mother called to book the ballroom for her daughter's wedding in June.
Leola assured the woman that it would be no problem and asked if she would be providing the flowers or did she want the hotel to take care of it. The mother said that she would prefer the hotel to handle the floral arrangements. Then the question of valet parking came up. Once again Leola was helpful. "There's no charge for valet parking, but we always recommend that the client tips the drivers."
Within a few months, the Ribrock Plaza Motel was a disaster area.
People kept showing up for weddings, bar mitzvahs, and Sweet Sixteen parties and were all told there were no such events.
Leola had her final revenge when she read in the local paper that the motel might go bankrupt. Her phone rang, and an executive from Marriott said, "We're prepared to offer you $200,000 for the motel."
Leola replied. "We'll take it, but only if you change the telephone number."
Question! Could you do this if you were really angry ?
dont think its true however it is a great story. i know we do that sometimes to when they call us instead of a pizza restaurant :P
Reply:Probably an urban myth but a good story anyway. May try that because my phone number is only one away from a local florist, and I have also taken an order for flowers after several calls in one day....so it does happen.
Reply:Yep, I'd do it. But I sort of doubt if she and the hotel had the same numbers if they were in the same town. They would both be getting the same calls. Just like having an extension phone. This sounds more like an Urban Legand.
Reply:Yes i would do the same lol :D
I mean the owners of the hotel weren't thinking that a regular person would do something and got a surprise :D The story is awesome even if its a myth ;D
Reply:It's an urban legend. It didn't really happen. Sound like a good idea, though.
Reply:I couldn't do it myself, I would feel too badly for the weddings and stuff. I think it's a very good story and love the little guy winning. Thanks for the laugh.
Reply:wow really interesting.
i probably would do it b/c they decided not to change their number.
Reply:You say:
Question! Could you do this if you were really angry ?
I say:
Absolutely and without loosing a moments sleep over the deal...
Reply:This sounds like a script for a Steve Martin comedy. I had to laugh even while feeling sorry for the people who were left in the lurch.
Reply:Cool. I like it and I'd do something similar.
Reply:No, I couldn't do that because she was punishing the wrong people!! She should have just asked the phone company for another number!! They give you a choice of three different numbers!! lol
Reply:lol.....loved it....will have to remember that....used to get calls for some pharmacy...they had the same number...different area code
Reply:that's awesome. I would so do that.
Reply:She's got guts. I think what she did was the right thing to do.
Reply:HA!!! Thats funny!
Reply:I like her style!!Good for her.
Reply:So there is such a thing as divine justice!!!!
Reply:Oh, I DO hope it's true!!
Reply:She is really good with that kind of stuff. i would do it to....thats so awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...
Reply:I don't think I would be able to think of doing something like that but good on her!
Reply:fair play 2 her but that is going way 2 far
Reply:i like it
Reply:WOW! That would teach them to mess with her alright. She must have a lot of energy. It would have been a lot easier to change her number! I know it's the principal of the thing but still. I would be afraid to mess with a company that big! I might go to start my car someday and have it blow up in my face! It's a great story as always!!! Keep the coming!!! :-)
Reply:HA HA HA, ok i guess its not funny for those poor people who have been effected by it - eg the wedding party.
Serioulsy though if i were that woman then yes i would do that out of anger. why? because us little people are always put 2nd place by large corporate companies who only pay attention to us when we are fillig thier pockets.
The issue should have been resovled at the start and the hotel should have changed their number. thats such a simple thing to do. Tackling a huge company like that is not something that anyone does.
I think the hotel got what they desrved if its a true story. The only sad thing is that there were innocent victims who should not have suffered.
Reply:That was one determined woman, even if it was a contrived
story. I wouldn't be as quick to think as she apparently was.
I've had the same number as a business, in the past, and
would get annoyed with having to tell the calling party that
the number was not for the party they were seeking, but a
private residence instead. I eventually called the phone co.
and asked that they straighten it out. Apparently it was a
phone book error.
Reply:I very much doubt I could do it, but, if true, I don't blame her a bit. It is funny and sad. Taken at face value, she could have done something a little different. Taken the reservations then handed them into the motel. Kept all the recorded phone calls and again go to manager or contact home office, but I like what you wrote the best.

Getting Married in 4.5 weeks..?
So our big day is fast approaching and its kinda snuck up on me. I have all the big things done like venues, caterers, photographer, cake, dress, etc
I know I still need shoes
A ring pillow or box
To choose my floral arrangements
Choose my hair style and BMs hairstyles
Groomsmens gifts
To make our Favors %26amp; order of events programs
I need to find a decanter set for our sand ceremony
I also need to have a manicure, pedicure and have my hair trimmed and the roots redone but is there any other little things that you wished you'd done or you forgot?
Every bride i've been around was completely dressed for the last 2 months before the big day but I don't feel overly stressed except for when my mother starts taking over.. but i feel like i'm forgetting something?!?
Getting Married in 4.5 weeks..?
Never underestimate the importance of lists. Here's a short little list of lists you should have ready for the big day:
1. Schedule of events just to have an idea of if you're staying on track all day (hair/makeup appointments, pictures, pre-ceremony rituals, cocktail hour, reception, cake-cutting, etc)
2. List of pictures you want photographer to be sure to get (groups of people, special moments, etc.).
3. List of songs for band/DJ (and a list they should NOT play!)
-Also, you may want to get envelopes %26amp; $ for tips for all your vendors ready so you can hand them to them discreetly the day of. Also make sure there aren't any outstanding balances with any of those vendors (some need to be paid in full before the wedding).
Good luck, and congratulations!!

Where can I get inexpensive tealight or votive holders?
My centerpieces will be very small, very simple floral arrangements. I want to put small candles around the centerpieces. I don't know whether I will use tealights or votives, but I will probably prefer votives if I can find some inexpensive holders. I don't care if they weren't actually made to hold candles, as long as they are the appropriate size. I probably need about 75 to 100. Clear glass is preferred. I know I'll only use these once, so can someone tell me where I can get some at an inexpensive price?

Also post on websites like www.freecycle.com (people give away stuff they don't want/use) and ask family and friends to borrow theirs. You may end up spending some time to clean out old wax but if you are truly on a budget this can help.
The other great thing about getting them from a store (wait for a 40-50% candle sale at places like Hobby Lobby and you can get them for about .15 cents each!) is that when you load up the cart with 200 votives the salespeople usually give up counting and sometimes it can work in your favor.
Reply:Walmart. They're 33c each and you don't have to pay an arm and a leg for shipping like you would anywhere online.
Reply:You can get small clay pots that are votive size at Home Depot or Lowes. They can be spray painted any color, too.

Just read in my local paper that the winner of the Ms Cheapo contest is a budget minded bride...she went around the day before her wedding to all the local funeral parlours and collected all the floral arrangements being discarded....she %26amp; her sister re-did them for her wedding......she also bought a discounted white prom dress to wear and held her ceremony/reception in a park where a swing band was performing, so her music was free.....have no idea what was on the menu, tho....your thoughts? And does any thrifty bride out there have some tips of her own? Would be great to share them....
How Budget Minded Is This For a Wedding?
Oh, wow, I think she's brilliant! But then again, anyone who's seen most of what I answer realizes that I'm doing things way cheap myself.
I don't think I could do the funeral flowers because I'm the kind of person who's very embarassed to ask for things. Not because they're creepy. I mean, if I were driving by a dumpster late at night and no one was around and I couldn't be seen...I could take them, I'm sure. But I don't generally want anyone to actually know how hard things are.
I've known of lots of cases where people have used white prom gowns, and I've seen lots of them that look just like wedding dresses (so much so that I've wondered why people want to wear something that looks like a wedding dress to a prom).
The band thing...awesome!
I'm doing all my own flowers (silk), and got a gorgeous dress and gorgeous rings off eBay. (I know a lot of people are hesitant to go that route, but my experiences were good...did my research before doing it, though.) For food we're ordering platters/buying stuff ready made from the Wal-mart deli and bakery, and skipping alcohol at the reception (wedding is at a public park, so alcohol isn't allowed anyway). I did my own invites with pretty blank-inside notecards, colored paper, and tracing paper. Yes, tracing paper! It looks just like rice paper and is so very much cheaper. I just stumbled into that idea by good fortune...I couldn't find rice paper in my small town anywhere, happened to see a $2.00 pad of tracing paper, and realized it would work great. I probably spent $15.00 on the invites at most.
I'm particularly proud of my idea for the cake. I've gotten thumbs down for it before, but I know it will work. I've made wedding cakes for people before, but I don't want to put the time into doing my own, so we're getting half, quarter, and eight sheet cakes from the Wal-mart bakery (it has some really pretty design options, too) and stacking them myself. I'm getting them with no top borders, so they'll look right. The only thing I'm a little worried about is the cake boards showing, but depending on how bad that will be I think I can take care of it with either some flowers to fill in the gaps or an X-acto knife to trim the boards and a little white icing to "paint" over the cut marks. Obviously I'm hoping I can do it with the flowers; that would be simpler.
Reply:I couldn't do the funeral flower thing either. I'm going to not use a florist for my wedding. The only flowers I plan on having are bouquets I'm making myself after buying some flowers from the grocery store (much cheaper than going to a florist). My dress I found is only $299...it's the T8778 from David's Bridal. I'm making cupcakes instead of buying a cake. And for music instead of using a DJ I'll use an iTunes playlist on my ipod.
Reply:Nobody say's that you have to have a fancy wedding.
but going to funeral homes and getting dead peoples
flowers is over the edge !!
that's going to far I think. and Nobody say's that you have
2 have alot of flower's at your wedding either.
If you ask me? most people go to extreme's with there
wedding. don't get me wrong,,, It's a very important day
in you and your partners life. but you can do thing's to
make it less expensive.
Reply:pot luck for food.i have a tight budget and i could not use flowers from a funeral though.check clearance racks or sales after prime wedding season you can find pretty much anything. dollar stores are great.oh yeah i got the perfect dress for me for 75 dollars on a clearance rack.the dress was a 600 dollar dress regular price.
Reply:Hmm that's quite an interesting thing to do. Not sure if I could go to a funeral home and use flowers that were in with the dead.. even that kinda gives me the willies. As far as the park and band, i think that was a very intuitive decision.
Interesting bride.
Reply:i could not collect Flowers from a funeral palour knowing that those flowers where for who ever passed on. its just wrong in my eyes!!
Reply:hey, if she needs to save the money, i dont blame her! weddings are expensive. i say save anyway you can! kudos to her!
Reply:I got my Wedding Dress at David's Bridal for $99.00 and it was gorgeous perfect for me-the alterations however were an additional 100 but I was happy-I don't think people need to go to extremes to save money but I appreciate people doing what they can afford. With a little research and planning brides and Grooms can make it work on a budget....
Too many people go way overboard for 1 day-competing for who has the best center pieces LOL! Sure for some the day is something they will always remember-but for half of the weddings they end in divorce-not trying to rain on anyone's parade but that's just the way it is. The fanciest most expensive wedding I ever went to-they were done in 8 months....WOW.
So go to bridal expos and sign up for everything! they have drawings for free products and money off limo services etc.
Reply:Flowers from a funeral? The person they were originally for doesn't need them anymore and to look at it from a different perspective If I died and people sent flowers I would be honored if someone wanted to use them and not just throw them away, give them a second chance to enjoy their day of blooming for a festive occasion! :)
That being said.....it is a little creepy!
I did a wedding where the theme was "garden wedding". we went to the local farmers market 2 days before the wedding about bought $100 worth of $5 bunches of all kinds of flowers.
We rounded up as many vases we had from home and yard sales/thrift shops and just bunched together flowers to look like they were just picked out of a garden and put in a vase. The bouquets were just a small bunch with the stems tied with pretty ribbon. The bouts were just a flower... each guy had a different one pinned to his coat. For the reception we just did cake and punch with some nuts, mints, fruit,and veggies platters with lemonade , iced tea, coffee and tea for the beverages. We didn't have tables but had chairs arranged in small clusters for conversation with potted plants from family members homes and a few ficus trees placed around. The brides mother brought over their garden fountain and it was used as a wishing well. The total cost for the wedding, including the $350 dress was $980.
It was one of the most memorable weddings I have helped with. Something about the focus being on the vows etc and not much n fancy impressing of the guests!
best wishes.........................
Reply:Talk about recycling! Funeral flowers are a little over the edge and sort of creepy. But you have to give Ms. Cheapo credit for her ingenuity and resourcefulness.
Every bridal salon has sale dresses and there are white or ivory dresses that are always on sale that will work for under a hundred dollars. eBay is a great source for wedding goodies, as is the Dollar stores and garage sales.
I know of a bride who went to garage sales and purchased vases for a dime. She cleaned them up and put in a variety flowers from her garden. Her cost? Practically nothing for her reception centerpieces.
Reply:Okay, here was my wedding, and it was very cheap, which made it possible to get married when we wanted, rather than waiting for another half a year, or year.

Reply:ok i got my dress from a consigment shop and paid $150 for it. i don't think that's being cheapo that's smart
i saw prom dresses at jcp this season that could easily pass for a wedding gown.
i'm having my wedding in a park. granted no band is playing that day but i only paid $5 to have it there.
i don't think that's cheapo- it's what we wanted
HOWEVER as for taking day old funeral flowers. it's somewhere btwn madness and genius lol
i would be happy to arrange my own flowers IF i didn't know where they came from. lol
ya know everyone is preaching green this and green that- way not to waste flowers that would be thrown away anyway.
Reply:I think the funeral flowers thing is a little too far. But I'm also creeped out by estate sales. I don't like pawing through dead people's things. Creepy. Buy silk flowers from Walmart if you want flowers that badly.
As for the Prom dress thing, why not? Many dresses are starting to look like wedding gowns - namely Prom dresses, Quinceneara gowns and Debutante gowns. I have a friend who looked more like a bride at her Debutante ball than I did at my wedding.
My first tip is the venue. Don't get married in some super pricey hotel that charges $230 per person for a plated dinner.
Cut the guest list. Don't invite every person from your graduating class and wind up with a 500-person guest list comprised mostly of people you don't know. This isn't Myspace.
Consider your food options, time of day and day of the week. As a hint, most wedding vendors have caught on to the "have a Sunday wedding, it's cheaper" trend and now have the same prices for Sunday as for Saturday.
Go silk. Flowers, that is.
Limit or eradicate alcohol. As an experienced wedding patron, I will say only this: any guest who needs alcohol to have a good time at your wedding is an alcoholic and that isn't your problem.
Don't buy customized napkins, matchboxes, napkin rings, whatever. It's all a waste of money. No one cares about the monogrammed tissue boxes.
And of course, you could always do the cheapest option available: elope!
Reply:I've gone around and gotten funeral flowers to redo for shut-ins so using them for a wedding seems like a good idea to me if you don't mind a mismatched arrangements because you'll get all kinds and colors of flowers. In the park with a swing band sounds great too! I don't think I would do a discounted white prom dress though.
We made our centerpieces using potted mini rose bushes, votive candles and fabric that I painted with glitter stars. We made cookbooks from recipes that our guests contributed for the main favor. I made my own pew bows from navy blue ribbon with silver flecks on it. I designed and made my own dress. Purchased the lace online and hand beaded it myself which saved a lot of money because that's the labor intensive part. I bought a pair of canvas tennis shoes for $3.99 took some of the extra lace, beaded it and put it on the toe, side and heel of the shoe to make my wedding tennies.
Instead of using a limo, you can rent your favorite car for the day. You can rent a foam cake that's iced from a baker. It has a small section that has a cake in it for you to cut and then there are sheet cakes in the back that are cut for the guests. Use flowers that are in season to save money.
