What Are Top Healthcare Mobile Security Concerns?
This article by Elizabeth Snell originally appeared on Health IT Security on October 19, 2015, based off Insight's top five areas in healthcare mobile security that organizations need to stay mindful of, including securing endpoints and networks, and also staying aware of all compliance areas.
Healthcare mobile security is an increasingly important issue in the industry, especially with more providers implementing BYOD strategies and connecting to outside networks.
Employees need to have a comprehensive understanding of how to use mobile devices in a way that doesn't compromise patient information, and healthcare organizations also need to ensure that they have the necessary security measures in place.
HealthITSecurity.com will break down the different areas and examine if they are top areas of concern when it comes to healthcare mobile security.
The five key factors are as follows:
- Purpose-built for healthcare
- Compliance savvy
- Accommodates unstructured data
- Secures endpoints and network
- Flexible deployment
In terms of having software specifically built for healthcare, Insight explains that it is important for providers to have this option to better sort through healthcare data, such as patient identification numbers and medical terms. This is definitely a strong point, and was further discussed in a recent article by HealthITSecurity.com contributor Bill Kleyman.
According to Kleyman, it is especially critical to find third-parties that understand the healthcare space when it comes to integrating new technologies, such as cloud computing. For example, there are now segmented environments designed to process PHI securely.
"This gives healthcare organizations the chance to offload specific workloads and extend it into the cloud," Kleyman wrote. "The key is ensuring that your point-to-point connections are secure and that there is constant visibility between data migration. Otherwise, crafting the appropriate SLA and ensuring you have the right kind of cloud architecture for your healthcare data is not a bad way to go."
The healthcare industry also has federal regulations that organizations must adhere to, which makes Insight's second point also very accurate. HIPAA compliance is a top issue for healthcare, and large-scale data breaches further show why it is essential for covered entities to keep themselves current on all federal, state, and local regulations when it comes to patient data security.
As previously reported by HealthITSecurity.com, understanding HIPAA compliance can help avoid potential violations. Earlier this year, Brighton, Massachusetts-based St. Elizabeth's Medical Center (SEMC) agreed to a HIPAA settlement of $218,400, following allegations from 2012. In that case, SEMC employees had allegedly used an internet-based document sharing application to store documents containing ePHI of nearly 500 individuals. The Office for Civil Rights (OCR) explained that this was done without having analyzed the risks associated with such a practice.
Secure messaging, endpoint security, mobile flexibility
Being able to accommodate unstructured data is also an important area for healthcare. Insight explains that "[p]roviders should consider secure content containers and secure messaging platforms that can protect sensitive data while at rest and in flight."
This point has been proven in the industry, as secure messaging options have increased in popularity. Annapolis Internal Medicine's Dr. Kevin Groszkowki explained in an interview with HealthITSecurity.com that the facility's implementation of a secure messaging option was due to its need for a secure communication platform that would allow it to stay HIPAA compliant.
"The platform we chose has been great for us because it allows us to communicate as solid unit," Groszkowki said. "Our clinical support staff can instantly reach physicians and NPs and vice versa. Previously, we had been using everything from iMessage to chat programs like Yahoo chat and Google chat, but they're not HIPAA-compliant, which severely limited what we could actually say about a patient."
Moreover, secure messaging services are being increasingly sought after by younger patients, according to a Technology Advice survey. Specifically, 35 percent of surveyed 25 to 34-year-olds reported that secure messaging services offered outside of office hours was a desired service.
The survey also found that online appointment scheduling, online bill pay functionality, and online test results are all top priorities for patients.
In terms of Insight's fourth point, discussing secure endpoints and network security, that has also seemingly proved true. HealthITSecurity.com contributor Rob Bathurst explained in a recent article that over time, there is an increasing need for more IT systems within healthcare. This has led to "more systems being put in place without the security maturity other industries have developed to manage those rapidly expanding support systems."
"Endpoint technologies should include malware detection and execution prevention, full hard disk encryption, and centralized asset control," wrote Bathurst. "Network technologies will include security and event monitoring with monitoring in each network segment or area, centralized logging, firewalls controlling the separation of critical network segments, and encrypted communication links."
Finally, flexible deployment is also an important issue for healthcare organizations. According to Insight, "[p]roviders should ensure that mobile security solutions can be deployed both for on-premise infrastructure and cloud environments."
Mobile security concerns should not deter healthcare organizations from implementing necessary solutions. Being able to incorporate mobile options that keep information secure on and off-site are critical tools. For example, a Spok survey found that healthcare BYOD use is declining due to health data security concerns. Specifically, 81 percent of those who do not have a BYOD policy in place said that it's primarily due to the importance of health data security.
"Looking to the future, leaders are seeking broader solutions to facilitate better transfer of information for comprehensive workflow improvements and optimal patient care throughout the hospital facility," the survey explained. "BYOD is a small piece of a much larger puzzle that is taking time for many institutions to frame and fill in the pieces."
Overall, there are numerous aspects of healthcare mobile security for organizations to consider. However, with more providers looking for ways to securely use tablets and smartphones, it is no longer an issue that covered entities can easily ignore. But by taking the time to consider HIPAA regulations and how different technologies could fit into a facility's daily operations, the right healthcare mobile security options can be found.

This Symbology is also known as Australian 4-state postal barcode, Australia Post Customer Barcode
This Symbology is used by Australia Post for Postal code and automatic mail sorting. Australia Post has chosen the 4-State Barcode, a derivation that is already used successfully by other postal administrations. It comprises four types of bars (the four states), each of which has a distinct name, value and barcode symbol.
This Symbology comes in several versions:

That right up there is my failed attempt at being a cool kid. We don't say no hi, we don't say long time no post. I think it's pretty obvious that I'm high. Oh shit, did you see that? I think I just rhymed. Skrrrr…
Okay meedah trybe, I know y'all miss me but I miss you guys more. I miss your comments, your suggestions and every single thing man. Kisses to you for dropping by today; are you new here? Milo clap for you; you've successfully joined the cool kids of Africa. But check my previous post here though!
A November to remember; so shall this month be. Three years ago, I couldn't beat my chest to say that I look forward to any month or anytime of the month because bleeehhh; nothing interesting that much happens or maybe I was just sorta caged.
This year however, I sit on my prayer mats for a little longer to pray for a sponsor to Ake festival since I'm in this far town of Jigawa. Yes, its that serious.
If you haven't been to a book and art festival then this post is for you and at the end, you should be packing your bags and taking a leave from work. You'll say i told you so.
My first time at a book festival was last year and it was one of the most beautiful time of the year. It was the highlight of my year. So, if you're a lover of art and everything deep, original and beautiful, then you're in the right place.
Ake festival as I remember it embodies a lot of activities ranging from panel discussions, book chats, stage play, live performance, visitations, poetry recitation and even art exhibitions. This is actually a lot of program to keep anyone busy for a whole four days. It is called Cultural Immersion.
To avoid you being overwhelmed with lists of activities, the Ake festival organizers have the program of the festival ready online weeks before the festival itself. This is not only to help prepare your mind for the awesomeness to come but also to get familiar with the guest, panelists and every "somebody" that would be present at the festival.
Ake festival is like the best place for a book haul and everyone is always hyped up to share their book haul at the end of the festival. Trust me when I say they have a loads of good books; you just need to cash in.
Last year was so much fun as I got visit Olumo rock for the first time, sit next to Ngugi wa Thiong'o and also meet with other authors and creatives. To mention my favorite and insta friend first Lidudumalingani; He's a photographer from South Africa who took us on a journey of how mental health is perceived in some parts of Africa. I particularly love his pictures as it has a different feel to them and tells a story.
My favorite of all Brymo Olawale was there and of course with his magical voice, he performed live and I just want to relive that moment. Adunni & Nefretiti group was also there to sing their way into our hearts in various indigenous Nigerian languages and it was really beautiful.
One person I heard of just last year and totally love was Falana of Falanamusic; she has such a beautiful voice and guess what? She'll be at Ake festival this year too. You don't want to miss this. Do you know Titilope Sonuga and love her poems? Then you have no reason to bail on this.
Okay, this experience is over a year, So forgive me for not going too deep.
Kabafest'17 ( Kaduna Book Art Festival ) however happened earlier this year and it practically saved me from the boring life of Jigawa. I packed my bags and headed for the bus park; Kaduna is just a few hours away. Even though I missed the first day due to work, I had a blast for the rest of the days.
The most beautiful part of kabafest17 was how it brought out people from the north who probably wouldn't travel as far as Abeokuta for Ake festival. Kabafest17 focused more on the narrative of the north.
There were discussions centered on child marriage, education, women subjugation and pressing issues that mostly affected women of the north and government in particular. I felt like I was part of a change.
Since this post is about things you should know and how to prepare, I'll not delve so much into what my experience was like. I'll give useful tips instead.
Here you go:
- Pay for the festival on time: This doesn't only help you prepare other things but also guarantees that you get your festival pack easily. You also don't want to be stressing the organizers at rush hour time trying to prepare your pack. The pack contains tickets to stage plays, live performance and other fun but optional activities. I'll say you shouldn't miss any.
- Go with an open mind: To perfectly enjoy the festival, you need to declutter your mind of expectations and whatnots. You want to drop them judgements at the gate so you can savor all the good stuff the festival has to offer.
- Pack comfortable clothing: Now, this is very important because you'll be staying for four good days. You don't want to be uncomfortable because you didn't pack the right dress or shoes. You don't!
- Flats do all the magic. You don't want to look like you're attending a fashion week but its all good. Whatever makes you COMFORTABLE.
- Money, money and money: You need more than enough cash. Emergency cash never hurt nobody. You'll see so many good books and your eyes are gonna twitch. Meal tickets costs 500 naira. This is way better because you don't really have the time to explore the whole of Abeokuta looking for food. Plus, you need to be in the hall on time for food because food queues are deadass long and you don't wanna stand till you drop.
- Book hotels on time or secure and accommodation with a friend that lives close to the Art Center : I can't emphasize this more. You'll need to make it to lecture theaters on time to get the best seat. I love front sits, so you understand my concern. Plus its a good place to get a good view of everything and cool pictures too.
- Talking about pictures, have your phone or camera well charged. You don't want to be like me who has no pictures to show for the beautiful time I had. Even though you'll need to enjoy the moment more than document; these memories are vital and lasts better with pictures. Get the largest memory card if you're a picture freak like me.
- Akefest buddy: This is also very key if you want to have a good time at the festival. You can either attend the festival with a friend or make one there. I'll suggest you make one there. See this person as a spice sprinkler on activities.
- For my ladies, your handbags aren't really important as your Ake pack comes in a tote bag that can contain a lot of things. You don't want to go around carrying two bags. That's just plain stressful.
- Yummies: I don't know what your mission is if you don't pack snacks and have a water bottle. I didn't do this last year and not only regretted it but suffered for it. You should always have snacks in your bags to keep your mouth busy and water in case things go south.
Okay, that's it guys. I hope you have fun and I'll be expecting to see your pictures online. Don't forget to tag me in them. It's the least you can do for me since I won't be attending.
The festival starts 14th November and ends 18th November 2017. If you haven't paid then hit this link. Want to know who would be at Ake festival this year and what would be discussed? Here's everything you need to know.
Side note: Thanks to Aunty Lola Shoneyin for bringing this greatness upon us.
Have you attended a book and art festival before and have a tip of five to add? Then let's read in the comment section below.
Thanks for reading.

Its difficult to know what to write in a blog. Today is a day, where even though I have been active since 6 am, I am finishing the day exactly where I started. But with superglue on my teeth.I have the luxury usually, of a couple of child free days a week, where Rachel goes to her dad, and I am spared identifying with sisyphus, trying to get the most mundane tasks done with a two year old in tow. My dire financial situation means that this week, this isnt the case. We started with sorting stuff out for the ebay sale, which is hopefully going to prevent me starving to death next week. By the time Rachel was wearing my wedding dress, a pair of stilettos, several necklaces, and proudly declaring she was a queen, common sense informed me that this was a task best left till those precious hours after bedtime.The realisation that the house I never stop tidying, was possibly in the kind of state that would warrant my old colleagues paying me a visit with serious public health concerns, and concerns about Rachels welfare, led me to the very unwise decision that I could clean it today.Cue a discussion with a two year old stating that she was the best person to tidy her own bedroom, and teh threats of temper eruptions, which make Naomi Campbell look zen, resulting in(as battles of wills with toddlers often do) my defeat, and Rachel going off to tidy said room. The ominous silence that fell over the house, while she undertook this task, was used gratefully by me, to transform my disgusting kitchen into something that one would not be afraid to cook in. THe excited squeals of 'mummy I finished', accompanied by a sinking stomach, and the realisation that all Rachels clothes(clean and dirty) were in her tent, all her dolls house furniture was now in the bath, her books were helpfully spread over the top floor of the house(you will be able to see which one you want to read for stories mummy…), and a dubious wet patch, was noted, with the explanation that the baby doll had weed on the floor, and she couldnt have possibly done it, because she is a big girl who uses the toilet now. The question of why there was shredded toilet paper all over the bedroom floor, was met with incredulous looks, as she explained patiently that it had been snowing.Happy that despite two hours of activity, the house was in exactly the same state as it had been when I started, I felt that a trip out was necessary. As my financial resources are..ahem limited, a trip to the housing benefit counter(conveniently placed in the library, next to the kids section) and a trip to the post office beckoned. RAchel clearly felt that the dusty old post office was not a place for children, and every time we neared the front of the queue, she legged it, in the style of Roadrunner- meaning said place in queue was lost, until this process had been repeated 3 times, and a woman sensed my impending nervous breakdown, and kindly let us in front of her.Trip to housing benefit office(helpfully contained in the library) was much better- Rachel was very patient, and explained to the tired overworked looking woman behind the counter that she should 'smile and be kind', and that 'the book corner was much better than this bit of the library'. I am not entirely sure that this, while amusing me greatly, didnt lead to said woman, refusing to take my payslips, as there was nothing on them which showed that they were anything more than printouts from home..A 40 minute walk home(5-10 minutes max-without child), had to include a visit to the baby ducks(which have now grown into adult ducks- a fact which led to a distraught little girl complaining that we have LOST the baby ducks, and that I should get them back), a reassurance that we were in fact walking the right way, and it would not be more fun to walk backwards. A short shoulder ride(no mean feat in 3.5inch wedges! I can tell you!), and a squiggly wiggly snake purchased from the ice cream van, in a vain attempt at bribery.Which led us to the dolls house. With Rachel showing me that she had a coat hook that had fallen down, and a request that I fix it. Go get superglue- try to unblock nozzle with my teeth- end up with mouth full of superglue. Actually, thats a lie. Just the front two teeth, and the tip of my tongue. Someone on Twitter informed me that superglue had been developed to close wounds in the Vietnam war, and I have a feeling, I will have something that feels like a plastic crust on my teeth, and tongue for a good few days yet…The two hours of overtiredness, which followed that, I have blocked out, in a vain attempt to prevent post traumatic stress disorder. And here we are, chilled out, in front of Dora the Explorer(who shouts A LOT), in a semi tidy house, a library book defaced with a picture of me, that I think has more merit than Tracy Emins recent offerings. THe tasks to be completed today, still await, and I would quite like to eat chocolate and drink tea.On the upside, I learned today that queens 'do jumping and eat sweeties', that greenbeans are in fact dolls bogeys, that I look like one of the monsters from 'Where the Wild Things Are'(the third jumping monster on the left from the second page, after the wild rumpus starts..), and that the invisible crocodiles that live outside our house, are in fact very nice. She has eaten 3 meals which were in some way healthyish, and I have managed to convince her to brush her teeth at least once.. I now get the pleasure of reading the three stories I intend to read, and the two or three that she manages to wangle out of me.To those of you who think this sounds like a dull, arduous day- I have to say, that this is my favourite kind of day. Nothing much happening, nothing much doing, and just chilling out with a short girl with blonde curls, brown eyes, and a fiercely unpredictable temper. (Who is at this moment licking my shoulder and laughing).

Yes it is he loves it there . Linden walk or road not sure . Usless sister that I am live in my own world , my gilded cage I call it self imposed but love it so much I love the tranquility so dont venture about too much my school run is 25 miles twice a day so thats enough for me and with all the pups still here I cant go far anyhow .
LOL! Tis fun having a two year old round the place- its quite frightening how quickly it passes. Is it your brother who is in Hebden Bridge?
I enjoy reading your tweets and loved this . It reminds me so much of when i was home with my boys when they were young. My husband worked long hours and they were both under 3 so it was tough going but the best days ever . I wish I had kept a diary or a blog as so many little things happen small to others but wonderful to you . My youngest had a thing for the colour green and I was constantly going back to shops with green cotton or green dummies he had nicked in his pushchair :)) .Keep them coming it makes all females feel .. well not alone

When Schools resumes after a month of vacation for students in Nigeria, many students take their holiday period hawking goods in the streets, some in order to get money for their academic study when the school resumes but the other group in order to support their family's meager earning while the other majority hawk in the streets as a result of child trafficking and child labour.
Most well to do parents send their children to school but use the maids with them as slaves. Some of them for this reason send them out there in the street hawking. Some parents allow their children to hawk in order to assist the family make the ends meet. They would not ordinarily allow their children to hawk if they are well off. Therefore there are lots of reasons why kids hawk in the street instead of attending classes. It all depends on their different peculiar circumstances.
Some students spend time hawking during Holiday in order to get money to either pay for their school fees or to help their family but some of them who make huge income eventually consider what the point wasting time in the school and would prefer to drop out instead of continuing when the school resume what this means is that most Holiday, children instead of resting are engaged in variety of activities.
A girl of 12 who just finished her primary school education says she sold onions throughout the summer holiday because she needed to make money during the holidays in order to be able to move forward to secondary school.
"If I don't sell onions, I will not be able to go to school because my parents do not have enough money.
"I am hoping to go to form one," she says. So my mum encouraged me to sell onions so that I can make money that will be used to send me to school."
She says that if she had an option, she would not have spent his holiday period selling onions in the streets. Instead, she would have attended computer classes like his mates who come from affluent families.
While some kid's families could pay for sending them to classes and youth camps during the holidays, other children are compelled by circumstances to hawk goods on the streets in order to raise money for the new school year.
In Nigeria, school holidays are well known by scores of kid-hawkers in the streets. To help their parents, the kids sold goods such as towels, plastic and leather bags, chair pillows, books, pens, pencils, stickers, flags and second-hand clothing. Some sold food, such as Irish potatoes, peppers, onions, tomatoes, fresh spices, salt, cakes, fish rolls, meat rolls, cooking oil, bean rolls, boiled groundnuts, sweets and biscuits.
But unlike the girl above, some children say they prefer hawking good to attending school.
Bolu another girl of 13-years says she gathers diverse goods from shop owners and sells depending on cyclic demands. With the beginning of the new school year, she is now selling schoolbags.
"I like selling in the streets at all times," he says. "I enjoy the exercise. I make money from selling bags. Sometimes, I sell books."
She says he started hawking goods during primary school to earn money for his education. But she liked assembling money and disliked going to school and therefore he dropped out of school education after primary school. She also said:
"Nobody forced me into the business," he says. "After my primary education, I decided not to go to school again. I make between 800 naira ($8.50) and 1,500 naira ($10.00) daily, and I hope to own a shop someday."
Irrespective of how each and every one of us perceive it, I think more should be done on the part of government in making sure that primary school child should be in school when needed rather than walking through different streets in the name of hawking.

Cation Group 2 – The Hydrogen Sulfide Group
Hg++, Cd++, Cu++, Pb++, Sn++, Sn(IV),
Bi+++, Sb(III), Sb(V), As(III), As(V)
The eight elements of this group form sulfides that are precipitated by hydrogen sulfide or thioacetamide from solution that are that are 0.1 to 0.3 M in hydrochloric acid. Of the chloride only that of lead is sparingly soluble in dilute hydrochloric acid and precipitates with Cation Group 1 to an appreciable extent. Silver and mercury(I), had they not already been removed as chlorides, would precipitate as sulfides with Group 2.
Thioacetamide is a white crystalline solid. It is soluble in water and serves as a source of sulfide ions in the systemic analysis of Group 2.
TA (Thioacetamide) solution in pH 0.5
Outline 1
Testing sample
Warm the solution containing TA at pH 0.5 in a bath of vigorously boiling water for 5 minutes.
After added TA solution into testing sample, warmed in water bath
Centrifuge and withdraw solution to another test tube.
Check the acidity with short range indicator paper. Add 2 drops TA and heat for several minutes in the boiling water. Centrifuge if more precipitation appears. Continue heating with TA as long as precipitation is obtained. Then dilute several drops of the clean solution with twice its volume of water, add 1 drop TA, and heat again. If a precipitation appears, treat the whole solution in the same way; divide it between several test tube if necessary.
Combine precipitation if several portions have been obtained. Wash the precipitated sulfides twice with about 20 drops hot water containing 1 drop 6M NH4Cl. Add the first washing to solution2-1 in a general analysis for all groups.
Solution 2-1
Add 10 drops 0.5M KOH and heat briefly in the water bath. Centrifuge and transfer the solution to a centrifuge tube. Repeat the extraction with a second portion of KOH solution. Combine solutions.
Precipitation 2-2
Wash twice with hot water to which either 1 drop 0.2M NH4NO3 or crystal of the solid salt has been added.
Analysis according to Outline 2
Solution 2-2
Recentrifuge to remove the last traces of precipitation. Transfer the clear, yellow solution to a test tube.
Analysis according to Outline 3
Outline 2
Treat precipitation with 5 drops water and an equal volume 6M nitric acid. Warm it in water bath until reaction occurs. Centrifuge and wash precipitation with water. Add wash to solution3-1.
Solution 3-1
Transfer to a casserole and add 2 drops 18M sulfuric acid. Evaporate over flame and directly under a ventilating duct or in the hood until white fume of SO3 are copiously evolved. Cool for a while. Use many drops of water to wash to casserole to collect the solution. Transfer the solution quickly to a centrifuge tube. Centrifuge it.
Precipitation 3-1

This striking book showcases fresh, contemporary interiors that reflect Jennifer Post's "pure space" philosophy: a serene, meticulously organized volume that offers a peaceful break from a busy world. From lofts in New York City to Miami high-rises to Palm Beach villas, each interior is immaculately conceived, detailed, and constructed—the epitome of pure, tailored modernism.
In her own words, Post demonstrates how she transforms living environments into elegantly edited spaces, using clean lines, white surfaces that reflect natural light, and open areas that allow a home to breathe. Since the age of eight, when she traveled to neighbors' houses offering to organize their closets and rearrange their rooms, Post has been dedicated to her pure aesthetic vision, resulting in a timeless body of work.
This is the first monograph on designer Post, who for a decade has been included among Architectural Digest's coveted AD 100 list of the world's top architects and designers.

1 Corinthians 8:1-13
Well, here's a situation you probably aren't going to run into this week: meat sacrificed to idols.
But that was just grocery shopping in Corinth. The life of that mercantile hub was suffused with religion—with public devotions and festivals in honor of local gods and the wider pantheon of gods, with the the constant sacrificing of animals in the temples of the city. That's where most of the meat available to buy in the marketplace came from.
The church in Corinth came to be through Paul's preaching. Paul: a Jew out on the road carrying the good news of Jesus for Gentiles. And the essential heart of his message was that the spirit and power of Christ made it possible for Gentiles to live in right relationship with God. That meant accepting the God of Israel, and acceptance the God of Israel meant abandoning worship of other gods. That's bedrock.
And Paul had preached Gentile's inclusion in God's covenant promises to Israel without circumcisions, without the food prohibitions of Judaism. Eat what you like.
But what about meat from animals sacrificed to other gods? Some of the believers did to eat it, maybe even in the temples, and there seems to have been uncertainty in the church over whether this was seemly, because those who did eat had an argument that Paul quotes back to them: "no idol in the world really exists."
For them, eating meat sacrificed to an idol that doesn't exist, is just eating meat. If anything, it became a celebration of their knowledge that "there is no God but one." And the spiritual elite among the Corinthian believers seem to have appreciated that kind of thing.
And Paul responds "right; we know that there is one God above all powers, and one Christ through whom are all things birthed into being, and through who's spirit we are becoming something new."
But in this world dominated by Roman power and Greek culture, acceptance of an imported God almost never meant rejection of others. People saw the cosmos populated with a host of divinities. Many would have reflexively translated whatever Paul said into something that fit their cosmology, and simply incorporated the Jewish God and his Christ alongside the worship of other divinities. Paul knows this, and he worries about it.
His concern is that if believers, who know that meat sacrificed to other gods is just meat, eat it, others may understand their actions differently: as a witness the worship of other gods is still possible. And he goes after the those who claim "knowledge" and spiritual attainment for a failure of love.
When Paul takes this same problem up a second time later in this same letter, he warns them to flee away from the worship in the temples, but then suggests that, if you're in the marketplace, go ahead and buy the meat that's for sale, but don't ask where it came from. And if you go to dinner with those who do not believe, eat the meat they serve it without asking questions about it unless they tell you its a sacrifice. Why? Because the witness of their behavior may confirm others in continuing religious practices.
Paul is saying that the Christian life is less about knowledge than it is about participation. Participation in the life of a body: the body created through Christ's life and death, and humankind as a body.
Christ set aside all other possibilities of God's freedom to accept the weakness of the human form, human relations, human death for the sake of God's beloved. He shaped his human life, his sacrifice, as a gift. And that's why Paul appeals to that gift in reasoning with the Corinthians; you are wounding, you are contributing to the destruction of those for whom Christ died. And if the goal of human life is to share in the life of God with their brothers and sisters as one family, then this wounding damages their own participation in Christ. He names it sin.
God chose limitless, intimate, commitment to the mess of humanity; God is fundamentally, radically, for us– that's the way Rowan Williams thinks about this. I once got the hear the former Archbishop of Canterbury talking about how Dietrich Bonhoeffer, the great German theologian who hung by the dying Nazi regime in 1945, struggled to decide whether to participate in the plot against Hitler, and to understand the meaning the Church in the face of structural evil.
Bonhoeffer ultimately concluded that the Church bears witness that the human capacity for relationship gains its full expression in Jesus—in the light shone by Christ. Bonhoeffer came to understand, and I quote here, that "by embracing this world, God shows us that routine forms of human life are a way of participating in divine life. The life of grace is the life of ordinary human sociality, revealed through the incarnation." We participate in the life and work of Jesus as we live for one other, day by day.
So Paul says he will never eat meat—he would rather never eat meat than cause one of them to fall.
The punchline is clear: Paul was called, we are called, to understand our liberty–and lets recognize that we among all the world's people, we who love liberty, struggle to do this–to understand the whole concept of liberty through the example of Jesus' love. And if something about the way we live in the expansiveness of our freedom damages our brother, it wounds us.
What does that look like?
Martyrs died rather than damage the hope of others by backing out. But Paul is talking about grocery shopping. So I'll tell you that I someone who doesn't drink alcohol. He has no personal history of struggle. No worry about the disposition of his genes. He doesn't believe that drinking, or even drunkenness is inherently wrong. He's free. But he decided that he couldn't know if the people he was with were struggling. And he didn't want his example to damage them. Its not my choice, but its faithful to what Paul is teaching. I know a worshipping community that gathers to celebrate the Eucharist every week and the priest announces this is grape juice for those of us in recovery and those of us who should be. That isn't my choice, but its faithful to what Paul is teaching.
And we're maybe in closest touch with what Paul's talking about when we recognize that our actions could damage another, and we start to rationalize in defense of our freedom and question whether the cost of the safest path is worth it, because who knows if it actually helps. And Paul doesn't know, really, if his course of action will make a difference or not. Is there a causal connection between his eating meat and the destruction of a brother? Maybe, but that's unknowable. The point is: "I would rather. These are my brothers."
1 Samuel 3:1-20
The sons of Eli were scoundrels
who did not know the Lord.
That's what the Book of 1 Samuel has to say about them.
They were priests, like their Dad,
serving in the temple at Shiloh.
And when the people would
bring meat as a sacrifice to the Lord,
the servants of Hophni and Phinehas
would take it before it could be properly offered.
They stole it from the Lord
and they demeaned the people
who made real sacrifices to fulfill their
obligation of thanksgiving,
only for it to be swallowed up by these priests.
They did this to everyone—
everyone knew that when they went up
to the temple at Shiloh they would
face these scoundrels and their forks and bellies.
Which is to say that that Eli knew,
and he let them go on like this.
One of the people who came up to Shiloh
in those days was a woman called Hannah,
who was a childless second-wife.
And she was desperate. She silently
poured out a plea to God for a son.
Eli saw her, and once she made him
recognize what was happening,
he blessed her and prayed
that she may have what she has asked for.
She became pregnant and gave birth to a boy.
On that day at Shiloh she promised God
that she would offer the child to the Lord's service
and that's what she did:
she took him to the temple
as soon as he was weaned—he was only two or three—
and left him there with Eli.
She left
him and went home,
and every year would try and
guess how much he'd grown
to make him a new little robe,
to give to him on their yearly trip to the temple,
when Eli would pray that she might be
blessed for this gift of Samuel.
And now we're getting into today's story.
The boy Samuel is asleep one night
and he hears a voice calling him by name,
and he answers "Here I am."
But he thinks its his master calling him,
so he runs to Eli to ask why. And Eli says,
like a father says in the night, "its nothing son.
Go lie down and sleep again."
It happens again, and Eli sends him to bed again.
But the third time, Eli realizes that the voice
the boy hears is the voice of the Lord,
and he becomes a teacher, he becomes the midwife.
This falling, failing priest becomes the midwife for the thing
which is about to happen in Samuel's life.
He tells the boy just what to do and say:
"go lie down and when he calls again, you say:
speak, Lord, for your servant is listening."
What Samuel hears is a terrible word
against the man who, as far he was concerned,
may as well have been his father.
And in the morning, he was afraid to tell it.
Eli knows its bad, but he calls for the boy,
and in a gentle, but absolutely clear way,
demands the truth, demands that Samuel
be the prophet and priest the Lord has made him.
God is seeking Samuel to be
a remarkable person among and for his people.
But becoming that person
depends on the willingness of his parents
to give him up to that identity.
And it depends on Eli becoming his guide.
It depends on Eli respecting the possibility in this child.
The Lord calls Samuel, but he calls him through Eli;
he doesn't name or reveal himself.
He chooses to require an interpreter: Eli.
A person who has failed his vocation,
failed his people, failed his sons.
He chooses Eli.
We are going to baptize Margot today.
And for the people who love her
that will mean entrusting her to the Holy Spirit:
the same breath that hovered
over the waters in creation, mothering, loving
all that is into being, and that hovers over her now,
and always will. Re-creating her, enlivening her.
And that Spirit is beyond our control. Like Hannah,
you can only give her up to that.
And at the same time,
she becomes a part of our life and our calling.
We receive her into the family of God
in which each of us bears the obligation to always,
always see her through the lens of this moment,
remembering that she is a child of God
and therefore a child of infinite possibility,
and to trust the possibility that God may reach toward her through us,
as God did through Eli.
Through our regard for her as a sister bearer of God's image,
through our encouragement,
our care and honest concern,
our walk and witness as baptized people.
In a few minutes
we are going to reaffirm our baptismal covenant,
as we do at every baptism.
And I beg you to hear yourself saying these words,
to hear one another saying them. Together.
Because this is who you are,
this is who we are called to be.
This is what it means to be joined into
the life of Christ through the water of Baptism,
to be joined into the resurrection here and now,
into that inexhaustible, transforming, creating power.
Will you continue in the apostle's teaching and fellowship,
in the breaking of bread, and in the prayers?
Will you choose this way of life?
Will you let your life be shaped
by the body which you've been made a part of—
by the teaching and tradition carried
by the Church across centuries,
by the patterns of prayer that have been the root of her wisdom?
Will you come to this table
where the whole story of God with us becomes present,
and where we're asked to risk seeing
God's hope and future already present
in the faces those we love
and those we struggle to get along with?
Will you persevere in resisting evil, and, whenever you fall into sin, repent and return to the Lord?
Will you refuse to allow what distorts and breaks us,
what turns us away from the light and our own aliveness,
the pain of sin that we endure,
to make you forget that there is a bond between you and God.
Will you remember that perfectly faithful
relationship is the nature of God,
and that God holds onto you.
Will you proclaim by word and example the Good News of God in Christ?
Will you be a witness?
A witness in what you say
and in the way you go
that Jesus is here, at work in you and in the world;
reconciling, gathering all things to himself.
Will you try, one commonplace decision at a time,
in your times of reckoning,
to try and live like that's true?
Will you live like that?
Will you practice to die like that?
Will you seek and serve Christ in all persons, loving your neighbor as yourself? Will you strive for justice and peace among all people, and respect the dignity of every human being?
The willingness to see Christ
in all persons will take us places we may not want to go.
We can't strive for justice at a safe distance,
without placing ourselves, our hearts and bodies,
where injustice lays its wounds in the vulnerable.
To strive for peace
means placing ourselves where peace is being broken.
To respect the irreducible dignity
of God's own image within every human being
challenges some of our deepest
and most distorted
instincts to separate and devalue
what God has made precious.
Living that kind of life means seeing with the eyes,
feeling with the heart, of Jesus.
And we have to be reborn, remade,
again and again for that.
And it begins here, in water.
So let us pray, as we baptize this child
that she, and we ourselves, be upheld
in that life by the Spirit we have received,
because it isn't easy. And let us give thanks,
because it is a beautiful life.

"The 8 Biggest Cosmetic Surgery Myths"
Please enter your name and email address into the form below to receive your free Download Guide.
Getting older and having children will affect the appearance of your breasts. If your breasts are sagging, too soft, a bit deflated or the nipples are pointing downwards and this situation is making you miserable, a breast lift will restore them to a desired height and give you a more desirable body contour.
As each individual is different, it's important that you book a consultation with the surgeon to explain what you'd like to achieve.
The shape and positioning you'd like to achieve will be discussed during your consultation with the surgeon.
Several incisions will be made in your breasts. The amount of cuts and where they will be made will depend on the nature of the lift.
Once the breasts (and nipples) have been repositioned, the skin is sutured and bandaged.
Great candidates for mastopexy surgery are those with pendulous breasts, breasts that lack substance or firmness and breasts with nipples that point downwards. Please bear in mind that large, heavy breasts can be lifted but the results may not last as long.
The size and shape of your breasts, as well as the size of your areolae and the extent of the sagging you are experiencing will determine the sort of breast lift surgery you'll have. You will have the opportunity to discuss your goals during your first consultation.Do I need to do anything in preparation for surgery?
If you are a smoker, we recommend that you stop smoking. We may recommend that you have a mammogram, particularly if you have a history of breast cancer in your family. You may be advised to reduce your usage of aspirin or some inflammatory drugs.Will I be scarred?
Up to three incisions are made during a breast lift. They are made following the natural contours of the breast. The scars will fade over time.How will I feel after surgery?
You will have dressings on your breast and be covered within elastic bandage or a surgical bra. There will be swelling and bruising. You may have drain tubes attached to your breasts to help with the removal of fluid. You will be encouraged to leave your bed the day after surgery for short periods of time.
You will begin to feel more comfortable after several days, but you must remember not to strain, bend or lift for several weeks. It may take a while for your breasts to return to a more natural shape and it may take longer still for the sensation in them to return to normal.What are the complications involved?
As the procedure will be performed under general anaesthetic, The usual risks associated with anaesthesia apply. There is a small risk of haematoma, wound breakdown and infection. We cannot guarantee that the sensation you feel in your breasts will not to be altered or that the shape of your breasts will be absolutely symmetrical. However, you may be able to return to work within one week, depending on how well you are recovering. You can resume normal activities within several weeks.What sort of results can I expect?
Your breasts will be uplifted and firmer. Your areolas and nipples will be higher, in a more pleasing position.What happens if I'm having a breast enlargement at the same time?
A breast lift can be combined with a breast enlargement as a combined procedure, during which we will insert breast implants and lift the breast in the same operation.Will I need a second breast lift procedure?
Your breast shape should remain constant, unless you experience significant weight gain or loss, or become pregnant. Ageing and gravity may make it necessary for you to undergo a second breast lift procedure in order to preserve your youthful contour after a period of years.
To book your first consultation about a breast lift, please get in touch with our professional team.

How To Fill Out DS-260 Form Online Application
For anyone trying to permanently move to the United States on an immigrant visa, you will likely be required to fill out DS-260 form online. This form asks for basic background information, family history, and travel history for the beneficiary.
It's a long LONG form that will take a while to complete. The good news is that you can save the form at any point before you complete and then continue where you left off.
Once DS-260 form is completed, it will be reviewed by the National Visa Center and the information sent to the U.S. consulate or embassy abroad. Be sure that the information you submit on this form is accurate because you only have once chance to submit it.
I've seen people make simple mistakes on it that can cause serious delays later on. Take your time when completing the form to be sure that you understand the questions being asked and how to answer them.
Case Example:
Morley is applying for the CR1 spouse visa from Italy. He knows that he has to fill out DS-260 form online but is confused about the entire process. His initial I-130 petition was approved 4 weeks ago and NVC had sent him information about the next steps.
He is now required to fill out DS-260 form and pay the immigrant visa fee and affidavit of support fee. He gathers all the documents he will need as well as his passport. It takes Morley several days to complete the form and he finally submits it after reviewing it thoroughly. He prints out the confirmation page to bring to his CR1 visa interview.
There is no specific time-frame that you have to complete DS-260 form online. Of course, it's best to submit it as soon as possible to avoid delaying the scheduling of your visa interview.
But, it's important to take your time to complete it correctly. The last thing you want is to make a serious mistake that will delay your visa or worse, be denied by the U.S. consulate.
Where To Find DS-260 Form Online
The instructions that NVC sends you will tell you where to go to complete DS-260 form online. But, for those of you who haven't gotten to this point yet and are curious what the steps are, keep reading…
Visit the CEAC website at https://ceac.state.gov/ceac/
This website allows you to complete a number of online NVC forms but you'll want to click on "DS-260, Online Immigrant Visa and Alien Registration Application."
Once you click the link, it will take you to a new page that will ask you to enter your case number. This is the number that NVC provided to you in the letter they sent you after your initial petition was approved.
After you enter the case number and click on "Submit" it will then take you to the online visa application.
What Information Is Need For DS-260 Form
Before trying to fill out DS-260 form online, you should have already gathered all the information that you will need. This way, you aren't wasting time trying to find this while in the middle of completing the form.
You should also save the form as often as you can so that the website doesn't time out if you've been inactive too long.
Gather the following information before filling out DS-260 form:

Avoid Common Problems Filling Out DS-260
Tip# 1: It's important that you answer every single question on online DS-260 form. The CEAC system will not let you move forward to the next page until all questions have been answered.
Tip #2: Another important tip is that you must complete the form in English using English characters only. If this isn't a language you are comfortable have your U.S. relative help you with it over the phone. You can also have the U.S. petitioner complete the form with you answering the questions.
Tip #3: Save your work regularly! This is a long form that could take several hours (or days) depending on how much time you have to delicate to it. DS-260 form allows you to save your work and then continue where you left off at a later time or day. You don't want your computer crashing and losing everything that you've worked on for the last 2 hours, do you?
Tip #4: The information you save in the CEAC website will only be available for 30 days. This is more than enough time for most people but if you can't complete and submit it within 30 days, you may loose your data. Thankfully, you are able to download the data you have saved to your computer and upload it at a later time.
How To Submit DS-260 Form Online
Before you electronically sign your name on DS-260 form, the CEAC system will allow you to review everything that you completed. Take this opportunity to check if you made any mistakes on the form.
Remember, once you submit DS-260 form, you will not be able to make changes. You can try to correct the mistakes with the U.S. consulate after submitting the form but this will definitely delay processing of your visa application.
Once you have reviewed the entire application and it looks correct, you should sign it and then print it out. Having a copy for your records is always a good idea when it comes to U.S. immigration. Printing out the entire application isn't required for the interview but I highly recommend doing so.
What Happens After Submitting DS-260 Form Online
After completing DS-260 and submitting the form online, the U.S. consulate will be notified and a consular officer will review your responses. This can take several weeks to complete.
You'll be asked to pay the immigrant visa fee and use the confirmation number given after the form is submitted. You can then print out a copy of both the form and the payment receipt for your own records.
The consulate or embassy will not need a copy of DS-260 as they will have an electronic version of it.
Final Thoughts On Filling Out DS-260 Form
Now that you know what to expect from DS-260 form, it shouldn't seem so scary to fill out. Remember to take your time and be sure that you answer all questions asked honestly. If you aren't sure what a question is asking, it's best to seek help from an immigration attorney or sign up for my premium case support service.
Don't try to guess what a questions is asking because this may cause you to answer incorrectly and delay the processing of your visa. At the end of the form, it will ask you to swear that all the information contained on the form is accurate to the best of your knowledge.
Having incorrect dates, wrong spelling of names wrong entry and departure dates on DS-260 will cause serious delays and possibility even a visa denial. Making a mistake can cost you the entire visa!
It's possible to get this information corrected after submitting the form but it will take several months to do so. This is why it's best to submit correct information from the start.
If you need help completing DS-260, consider signing up for Premium Case Support. This allows me to work with you one-on-one on the phone and you'll have someone walking with you every step of the way.

Leighton Buzzard mum Millie Burgoyne has had her first book published and is busy writing the sequel.
Millie, who has a young son with autism is working hard on the follow up to Roamers.
She said: "I started writing at the age of 16. My first book, Roamers, began as a screenplay. I found at one point that I couldn't take it any further in that format, and I didn't pick it up again until roughly 2012, when I rethought the plot and adapted it as the beginnings of a novel.
"Roamers is the first instalment in a series of three books following Scarlett McKenzie in a post-apocalyptic world. It's a fictional look at how a young woman might learn to adapt in a world where nobody is guaranteed to survive day-to-day with the constant threats of the Roamers, a lack of food and water, and most importantly, other survivors.
"I'm currently working on the second instalment in the Roamers series, which picks up exactly where the first ends.
"Finding the time to sit down and write can be tricky. I have a seven-year-old son who has high functioning autism, and I'm at work while he is at school, so my days can be pretty full on!
"I always carry a notebook and pen with me, and during my lunch breaks at work I might jot down some ideas and type them up later when my son is in bed.
"Sometimes I get ideas from places I visit, so I like to be able to write a brief description while I'm there. Other than that, I sometimes write a short summary of each chapter, and then just sit down and write. There's a lot of editing involved doing it like that.
Millie said that her mum ensured she had a good grasp of English and a general love of words. She added: "My son is the same – he possesses an imagination like nobody else I've ever known!
"Writing gives me an opportunity to sit at my computer and think from someone else's perspective for a while. I get to create and immerse myself in a fictitious universe and build three dimensional characters with their own thoughts, feelings, problems and relationships, and escape from what can otherwise feel like a monotonous reality."
Roamers is available to buy on Amazon as an eBook or a paperback, under the pseudonym, 'Velveteen Viper', and you can find Millie on Facebook and Twitter.

|Number of documents in an index with filter
|Sun, 27 May 2007 08:38:04 GMT
Greetings, I would like to add the number of possible hits in my queries, for example, "found 18 hits out of a possible 245,000 documents". I am assuming that IndexReader.numDocs() is the best way to get this value. However, I would like to use a filter as part of the query. What is the most efficient way to get the total number of documents given a filter on a query?

Previous articles in the Rugby IQ series can be found here, here and here.
Part 4 of the series will focus on the Champions Cup game between Exeter and Montpellier at Sandy Park. Match highlights can be found here.
It is a widely known fact (or at least it should be!) that once a team gets into the opposition 22, the more phases they have the less likely they are to score. Exeter have long been one of the few teams able to buck this trend.
In this game, Exeter scored 6 tries. Each time, they scored after multiple phases close to the Montpellier line. Let's look at how they approached each try, and see if we can learn how Exeter are managing to score their close-range tries.
Try 1
There is a lot going on in this picture. Exeter have had several pick and go attempts already. In the yellow circle, we see Harry Williams (3) is holding Montpellier flanker Yacouba Camara into the ruck. Camara is fighting to get himself free, as he can see the danger. However, Williams has a firm hold of his shirt and will not let go. This leaves Louis Picamoles (8) isolated. The only other defenders on that side are the Montpellier halfbacks.
Exeter have a pod of 4 forwards. This includes Don Armand (7) at 115kg, Dave Ewers (6) at 125kg, Jonny Hill (5) at 112kg and Mitch Lees (4) at 122kg. The Exeter forwards bind tightly to one another, combining their force. Louis Picamoles is a big strong man, but on his own, and with 474kg of explosive forward power coming at him, there is only one winner.
To maximise the Exeter advantage, Dave Ewers runs at an angle, forcing Picamoles to hit him from the side. This means Picamoles has an even tougher job to stop the pod. Unsurprisingly, he fails.
Try 2
Like the Ewers try, this picture shows a ruck after several pick and go attempts by Exeter. Sam Simmonds is actually blocking our view of him, but Bismark Du Plessis is crouching next to the post guarding the left side of the ruck. Yacouba Camara is again close to the ruck but unable to help, this time because he is unsighted and blocked by the post. Therefore the nearest help for Du Plessis is his fly-half, Aaron Cruden. For all Cruden's many fine qualities as a player, he is not the man Montpellier would like to have in that role.
The most obvious way for Sam Simmonds (8) to score is to dive at the base of the posts. Du Plessis has anticipated this and crouched very low, which is why we can't see him. Another option for Simmonds is to carry the ball at an angle, forcing Bismark to hit him from the side. Du Plessis would also be hampered by the post. The two locks, Jonny Hill and Mitch Lees, are again on hand to lend their weight. Therefore Cruden would be left having to make a dominant tackle against a collective 337kg of angry Exeter forwards.
Instead of either option, Simmons surprises everyone and dummies, spinning and diving over the ruck to score the try. This showed a great deal of confidence and imagination because it was probably the hardest of his available options.
Try 3
This picture shows Ollie Woodburn in space 5m from the try line. Woodburn has angled his body back infield and is able to ride the momentum of the covering tackles and produce an incredible finish.
The move starts with a 5m scrum under the posts for Exeter. The Chiefs have been dominant in the scrums all game, winning several penalties. Everyone expects a pushover attempt, and if that fails for the explosive Sam Simmonds to power off the base into Aaron Cruden. Instead, Exeter goes left. They hold the drift defence with a Henry Slade decoy run. Gareth Steenson floats a long pass behind Slade to Woodburn, who would walk over the line untouched. Unfortunately, the pass bounces before reaching him and Woodburn is forced to produce that world class finish.
Try 4
The bonus point try again starts with an Exeter scrum 5m out under the posts. Again Exeter chooses to go left, again Slade holds the defence with a dummy run and again the pass isn't very good. Woodburn repeats his exploits from 6 minutes earlier, scoring another spectacular try in the same corner under heavy pressure. With this try, the Chiefs show a willingness to press home an advantage by repeatedly attacking the same weakness.
Try 5
This try comes from a ruck 5m from the Montpellier line following a break. We see a pod of forwards, circled, including Thomas Francis and both second rows ready to go. The Montpellier defence anticipate Lees taking the ball up with his pod and trying to crash over the line. Henry Slade (13) approaches the ruck, looking like he will pass. However, Slade bridges over the ball, securing it for Nic White (9). This confuses Bismark Du Plessis and Gabriel N'gandebe (14). They aren't sure whether Slade is actually going to pick up the ball himself and try to sneak over the line. In their confusion, they can't work out who should guard the blind side of the ruck, so in the end neither player does.
Nic White spots the defensive error, sneaks around the blind side and scores the fifth Exeter try.
Try 6
In this picture we don't see the Don Armand try but the phase preceding it. Luke Cowan-Dickie picks the ball up at the base of a ruck and drives at an angle towards the posts. He is tantalisingly close to scoring against the base, which we see in the pink circle. This is the moment a less disciplined player may well overreach and try to score. Montpellier would then have the chance to slow the ball or even turn it over. However Cowan-Dickie does not try to force the ball that extra 5cm. He instead makes sure the ball is recycled, and Don Armand is able to score in the very next phase.
What can we conclude from these tries?
Exeter scored 5 different types of try. It seems the key to their play inside the 22 is to have plenty of variety and invention in their pick and go game, shown by the Sam Simmonds try. This is combined with an ability to spot when a team has over-committed and go wide, demonstrated in the two scores from Ollie Woodburn. They pick and go most of the time, but it is often at an angle rather than directly at the line, shown in the Dave Ewers try.
The Chiefs don't over-reach when close to the line. Luke Cowan-Dickie showed this before the Don Armand try. They have a patience born of confidence in their system. Because of the angle they are able to turn in contact and prevent opposition slowing the ball down easily. They also prevent the opposition driving them back towards the previous ruck. They often bridge rather than clear out, making sure they aren't off their feet. The whole team knows exactly what they are trying to achieve.

This morning in Rome the "Corte di Cassazione" has ruled that the referendum against nuclear in Italy will be held on June 12th and 13th, in spite of changes to the laws that the Berlusconi government made at the last minute in order to avoid the electoral consultation.
This does not necessarily imply that the referendum will be valid, as a majority of voters is required in order to ratify the changes to the laws proposed by the referendum committe. In Italy, in the past 16 years, there has never been a referendum which reached the "quorum" of 50% voters plus 1.
Pro-nuclear groups in Italy are advocating voters to not show up at the polling stations, in order to not reach the "quorum" or majority of voters. The next two weeks will be critical to see if there will infact be a possibility for the referendum to succeed.

Every year weddings season hits and you see some new ideas and some old. Well, here are some of the hot wedding trends for 2015 that everyone is buzzing about. Will your wedding have any of these hot trends in them?
Wooden tables: A new way of giving your reception some flair and forgoing regular round tables in table cloths is to rent beautiful wooden tables and showcase the beauty of the furniture. A great place to start looking in the Seattle area is SeattleFarmTables.com
Fresh picked flowers : keep things simple and local. The farm to table trend that started with your food, is also popular with your florals. Choosing florals that are local and seasonal will create a unique ensemble to showcase where and when you were married. Keeping a more natural look to the bouquets vs a more manicured bouquet is also popular. Looks like you just pulled from your garden this morning.
Using your engagement photos: The trend of including some of your engagement photos in your Save the Dates and wedding invitations is coming back as well. Show off a beautiful photo of you both while inviting your family to your wedding.
Hair Pieces : In bridal beauty, not only will we be seeing more off the shoulder dresses, but hair pieces will be big in 2015. Floral bands like the image above, as well as more delicate individual flowers in hair left down.
Wine/Beer / Liquor with a theme. Not only are people still loving the signature cocktail, but for those who forgo an open bar, are now choosing to do a theme for their beer and wine. Local winery/breweries only, micro brews, or the couples favorite wine in flights. Bringing personality to the bar, while keeping the costs down by avoiding the liquor.
Food trucks : A trend that we've seen for a couple years is still going strong. Bring on the food truck and comfort food. Works especially well at backyard and beach weddings. Many food trucks will caterer a buffet as well. So, if there is a food truck you love, they may be open for your big day!
What trends are you seeing this year? Add a comment below!
