He stopped by <em>The Queen Latifah Show</em> to share his secrets for finding the perfect floral arrangement.</figure><figure><object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,47,0" height="270" id="flashObj" width="480"><param name="movie" value="http://c.brightcove.com/services/viewer/federated_f9?isVid=1&isUI=1" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF" /><param name="flashVars" value="videoId=3093190945001&playerID=3221766581001&playerKey=AQ~~,AAACTpUzxpk~,K_-hI1E13WlH0-in4r4Cr5dS-K56n9xw&domain=embed&dynamicStreaming=true" /><param name="base" value="http://admin.brightcove.com" /><param name="seamlesstabbing" value="false" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="swLiveConnect" value="true" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><embed src="http://c.brightcove.com/services/viewer/federated_f9?isVid=1&isUI=1" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" flashVars="videoId=3093190945001&playerID=3221766581001&playerKey=AQ~~,AAACTpUzxpk~,K_-hI1E13WlH0-in4r4Cr5dS-K56n9xw&domain=embed&dynamicStreaming=true" base="http://admin.brightcove.com" name="flashObj" width="480" height="270" seamlesstabbing="false" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowFullScreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" swLiveConnect="true" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash"></embed></object></figure><figure> <br />“It’s all about creating a mood. It’s about taking things you love and going from there,” suggests Jeff. ”People don’t have a lot of money to spend on flowers. I do believe that we should at least have a small vase by your bed, or in the bathroom. Our lives are so busy that sometimes those are the places where we spend the most time. Treat yourself and at least have them there.”</figure><figure><strong>What are the best flowers to buy anywhere that will always work and look beautiful?</strong><br />Jeff says roses are the best. You can find them in the grocery store or the farmer’s market. They always work.</figure><figure> </figure><figure><div style="text-align: center;">

</figure><figure><div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>What is the ideal floral bouquet someone can easily pick up to bring to a dinner party?</strong>Orchids, Jeff recommends. You can also find them at farmer’s markets. You get more for your money because they last a while. They grow back so you can have them from 6 months to a year.</div>

</figure>
<figure><div style="text-align: left;">
<strong>What about color choices? </strong>Clean, simple and classy as possible. With design, it’s all about knowing when to stop, suggests Jeff. Pick one thing, if you really love color, being color crazy is fine but keep it all in one color scheme. It’s also important to keep things separated and blocked. One of the biggest mistakes is choosing too many colors.</div>

Magnolia. It grows on the street. It’s that giant big white flower with a beautiful citrus flower. It’s like life you have to take advantage of it while its beautiful, says Jeff.</figure><figure></figure><figure> </figure><figure></figure><figure></figure><figure></figure><br /></div>

Own a small business? Perhaps you’ve heard about small business
certification, but do you actually need to certify your business as small?</div>
<div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div id="community-node-mainbody-content">
For most small businesses, the answer is no.<br />
<br />
But if you want to take advantage of business opportunities such as <a href="http://www.sba.gov/category/navigation-structure/contracting" jquery1382615293676="129" title="SBA government contracting guide">selling to the government</a> (a.k.a. “government
contracting”), then you have to obtain some form of certification. Why? The
federal government sets aside a variety of contracts for competition among small
businesses, women-owned small businesses, service-disabled veteran-owned small
businesses, and disadvantaged small businesses. To qualify for these
“set-asides,” certification is a must.<br />
<br />
So how do you go about certifying your small business to qualify to compete
for the nearly $100 billion worth of goods and services that Uncle Sam buys from
small businesses each year? Read on.<br />
<br />
<strong>Does Your Business Qualify as a Small Business?</strong><br />
Your business isn’t small just because you think it is. The government
maintains “size standards” that define the maximum size that a company (and its
affiliates) can be to qualify as a small business.<br />
A size standard, which is stated in either the number of employees or average
annual receipts, represents the largest size that a business (including its
subsidiaries and affiliates) may be to remain classified as a small business by
SBA. Generally, most manufacturing companies with 500 employees or fewer and
most non-manufacturing businesses with average annual receipts under $7 million
will qualify as a small business. However, there are exceptions by industry.
They’re listed here: <a href="http://www.sba.gov/content/summary-size-standards-industry" jquery1382615293676="130" title="SUmmary of size standards by industry">Summary of Size Standards by Industry</a>.<br />
<br />
To help you assess whether you fall into the SBA’s definition of small
business, check out SBA’s <a href="http://www.sba.gov/content/table-small-business-size-standards" jquery1382615293676="131">table of small business size standards</a>.<br />
<br />
These size standards also apply to <a href="http://www.sba.gov/content/veteran-service-disabled-veteran-owned" jquery1382615293676="132" title="SBA resources for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses">service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses</a>,
<a href="http://www.sba.gov/content/women-owned-businesses" jquery1382615293676="133" title="SBA resources for women-owned businesses">women-owned small business</a> and <a href="http://www.sba.gov/content/8a-business-development" jquery1382615293676="134" title="SBA resources for small disadvantaged businesses">small disadvantaged businesses</a> (such as Native
Americans). However, it’s important to note that these businesses must also meet
specific eligibility criteria in order to compete for exclusive government
contracts that are set aside for these groups. Read more about these set-aside
programs and eligibility requirements here:<br />

Certification—How Does a Business Get Certified?</a>)</li>
</ul>
<strong>Certifying Your Small Business</strong><br />
Now that you’ve figured out whether you qualify as a small business, you can
get registered as a government contractor. This is a fairly simple process and
involves <a href="http://www.sba.gov/content/getting-d-u-n-s-number" jquery1382615293676="139" title="Applying for a D-U-N-S number">applying for a D-U-N-S number</a> and registering in
the government’s <a href="https://www.sam.gov/portal/public/SAM/" jquery1382615293676="140" title="System of Award Management ">System
of Award Management (SAM)</a> (SAM replaced what was formerly known as the
Central Contractor Registration (CCR) database on July 29, 2012). SAM is a
repository of all businesses that sell – or want to sell – to the government.
Read more about this process <a href="http://www.sba.gov/content/register-government-contracting" jquery1382615293676="141">here</a>.<br />
<br />
<strong>Certifying as a Disadvantaged, Women- or Veteran-Owned
Business</strong><br />
Businesses that qualify for government contracting programs and contracts
under these categories follow the same certification process as small businesses
described above. When you register your business in SAM, you can self-identify
yourself as belonging to one of these groups.<br />
<br />
<strong>Other Government Contracting Set-Aside Programs to Know
About</strong><br />
In addition to offering set-asides to disadvantaged businesses as well as
service-disabled veteran- and women-owned businesses, the federal government
also has programs that help small businesses in urban and rural communities
compete for government business. One of these programs, known as HUBZone, has
its own certification process. If you think this might benefit your business,
read more about it here: <a href="http://www.sba.gov/community/blogs/community-blogs/business-law-advisor/hubzone-certification%E2%80%94how-does-business-get-cer" jquery1382615293676="142" title="How to get certified for HUBZone Certification">HUBZone Certification—How Does a Business Get

Initially trained to be florist / arranger, I developed myself more and more in the field of photography and web designer over the years. Shaping images, moving or stills with a recurring floral theme, clearly demonstrates my passion for the flower industry.<br />
Under the name Reystyler I have been active in the field of web design since 2005 with the associated photo, video and graphical productions. Full devotion and finding surprising ways of presenting, are characteristic for my work.<br />

For more than 25 years I have been active as a flower arranger and decorator and I am still surprised with all the beauty nature is giving us. Unlimited possibilities with the vast availability of materials, makes my professions one of the best there is.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
My broad experience within the Dutch and international flower industry in the field of trainings, presentations and decorations, make me a significant source of knowledge. I believe it will be wonderful to be able to share this with colleagues around the world.</div>

If you are still fretting about how Obamacare will affect your <a href="http://www.entrepreneur.com/humanresources/index.html" target="_blank">employees</a> and your bottom line, you are not alone. While a small percentage of business owners who offer health insurance to employees have an improved understanding of what the “employee mandate” means, a majority of small-business owners continue to misunderstand the law, according to a survey released Thursday from the Mountain View, Calif.-based private online health-insurance exchange <a href="http://ehealthinsurance.com/" target="_blank">eHealth</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Of the 259 business owners surveyed, 56 percent misunderstand the employee mandate, an improvement from the 69 percent of survey respondents who misunderstood the mandate when eHealth conducted a parallel survey in August.</div>
<strong></strong><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The employee mandate is a section of the Affordable Care Act that requires businesses with 50 or more full-time workers to provide health-insurance coverage for their employees. If your business has more than 50 employees and you do not provide health insurance, then you will be required to pay an annual penalty starting at $2,000 per employee after 30 employees, says Carrie McLean, the consumer health insurance expert at eHealth. If you have fewer than 50 employees, the health-insurance mandate does not apply to your business.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Another largely misunderstood component of Obamacare is the health-insurance exchanges. Almost two-thirds of respondents say they have no understanding at all of the exchanges. Twenty percent of respondents say they have a fuzzy understanding of the exchanges and only 18 percent of respondents say they can explain what an exchange is with confidence.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Health-insurance exchanges are marketplaces where businesses and individuals can shop and compare plans. The federal exchanges, which will become available in October, will make government subsidized health-insurance available for lower-income individuals who are not getting coverage through their employer. Also, the SHOP exchange – an acronym for <a href="http://www.healthcare.gov/news/factsheets/2011/07/exchanges07112011c.html" target="_blank">Small-business Health Options Program</a> exchange – will be an exchange where small-business owners can do the same thing, says McLean.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong></strong> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The confusion about Obamacare creates anxiety for entrepreneurs. Almost six in ten respondents say they think their costs will increase as a result of the looming reform and one third of owners expect the reform to affect their hiring plans in 2014.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The survey was conducted online between Feb. 12 and Feb. 15, by eHealth and polled small-business owners who had purchased health-insurance through <a href="http://ehealthinsurance.com/" target="_blank">eHealthInsurance.com</a> and were still maintaining coverage for their employees. All respondents had fewer than 50 employees and 95 percent had between two and 10.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The survey results from eHealth likely reflect even less confusion than what is out there among small-business owners overall, since it surveys only those business owners who offer existing coverage and have therefore put some thought into the topic already, says McLean. “We actually compiled a list of calls that we were getting from customers -- small businesses -- and it was composed of 70 different questions that we are getting on a constant basis,” she says. “There is major confusion out there in the marketplace.”</div>

The traditions of a Jewish wedding ceremony can be adopted and adapted to fit both religious or secular tastes as the bride and groom see fit. One of those Jewish wedding traditions is that the groom’s parents both walk him down the aisle as do the brides parents. In these days of equality and inclusion, it’s seen as a nice way to provide both parents with a meaningful role in their child’s wedding. The procession leads to a chuppah (sometimes spelled huppa or huppah and pronounced — hoo-new company — OurChuppah.com — offers a unique product that meets the
pa), which is a wedding canopy, used at both indoor
and outdoor ceremonies. </div>

sides to welcome family and friends. The canopy or chuppah is supported by four
poles, either secured in the ground or in pots of greenery and flowers or by
four honored guests or members of the bridal party. There is no religious rule for the design of the chuppah. Traditionally it
can be a prayer shawl, heirloom tablecloth, bedspread, quilt, or an original
piece of art.</div>

“The idea of a wedding canopy can be used in any wedding, whether Jewish or
not. It provides a beautiful focal point and setting for the marriage ceremony
and can be used as a wall hanging or coverlet in the bride and groom’s home — a
beautiful keepsake of their special day,” says Burger.</div>

“Working with couples to make their chuppah a meaningful work of art that
compliments their design aesthetic is the most rewarding part of the process,”
she says. Knowing that this may be the one object that represents their wedding
ceremony and will be cherished for years to come - maybe even passed from one
generation to another - is a wonderful concept.</div>

Burger began designing chuppahs with the canopy for her own daughter’s
wedding- one based on a painting by Marc Chagall. That chuppah was passed along
to the groom’s brother who was also married beneath it. The chuppah became a
beautiful backdrop for the wedding cake at the reception for all the guests to
enjoy up close.</div>

“When my own daughter was going to be married, we discussed her desire to
have something special, something that would be remembered long after the event
was over,” says Burger. “So we researched the options that were available and
found that there were not many options for something unusual and memorable. It
was then that I decided to design my own special version of the traditional
wedding chuppah. The result was so well received that everyone who saw it
encouraged me to create other designs for their friends and family. It was there
that the idea for a website offering my designs was born.”</div>

The canopy is made of a fabric that includes an ornate and beautiful design.
The design includes an appropriate sentiment in words chosen by the bride and
groom and the date of the event. It is secured to poles at each of the four
corners that are either freestanding or held up by honored members of the
wedding party.</div>

“Many couples even pass on the canopy to other members of the family and add
their own names and dates, says Burger. “It becomes a family heirloom and a
source of pride in the family as an important piece of art passed down from
generation to generation. It makes me very proud to be part of this important
tradition.” </div>

The custom has become so well thought of, that even non-traditional
ceremonies and non-Jewish brides and grooms are embracing this charming way of
demonstrating their commitment to one another. Whether borrowing a custom from
one religion or culture or starting your own tradition, the wedding ceremony can
be as individual as the bride or groom.</div>
