2011 VW Danbury Diamond, 4 berth, 5 seater, 1 owner from new, FSH, direct drive power steering! £31995

If practicality is a key feature you’re looking for in a campervan, then this 2011 Danbury Diamond fits the bill.  Danbury developed their own powered steering system for the VW Kombi around 2010, to meet the increasing number of customers who wanted their campervan to be even easier to drive.  The option was very expensive when new – £4000 – and apart from making the T2 very ‘car-like’ to drive, it has meant that pre-owned examples with this feature, are very popular.  If you need to parallel park or manoeuvre your camper in tight spaces, then the addition of powered steering is of enormous benefit.

 In Olive Green under White this Kombi has a classic look that includes white bumpers, an aluminium side-step, chrome mirrors and hubcaps.  You could further this by painting the wheels white and fitting white banded tyres!  The beauty of the T2 is you can play with its look at any time relatively easily.

This Kombi carries 5 comfortably on its matching green cloth seats; up front the driver and passenger seats have 3 point seatbelts, with 3 lap belts fitted to the rear.  We can install further 3 point seat belts there if required. Raising the pop-top furthers the practicality as occupants can then stand up within the rear cabin. The Diamond conversion features a full width bed.  Flipping the included buddy seat open enables 5 to sit within the camper around the removable table.

The Diamond unit contains all you would need for a camping adventure – gas twin hob with grill, sink with electrically pumped cold water with custom chopping board, and a low power fridge. What’s going to be your favourite campervan dish?!

The camper has plenty of carrying ability inside the buddy box, under the rear seat and in the boot.  It also has a rare storage unit between the front seats that features cup-holders for your on-the-go beverages!!  The spare wheel is located on the nearside in the boot.

You could increase this Kombi’s carrying capability by fitting a classic style roof rack and/or fitting a tow bar, to which you can then add a bike carrier or even tow a small trailer.  (NB: you cannot pull a trailer at the same time as using the bike carrier.)

Its modern water-cooled engine ensures reliability and low running costs.  The 80bhp 1.4 motor can return upwards of 35mpg.

Further features are:

VW factory fitted immobiliser.

High level rear brake light.

Clear front indicator lenses.

42 litre 12v/240v compressor fridge, sink with electric tap, twin hob gas cooker with grill, low power strip lights and rear spotlights in the cabin.

Removable table with pedestal fixing and matching leg.

12v camping electrics featuring on-the-go charging, 240v when on hook-up.

Leisure battery condition meter.

2 x twin 13 amp plugs for use when on hook-up.

Blackout curtains.

Front and rear heated screens.

Radio with 4 speakers.

Front cab heater with variable speed fan.

Easy clean laminate effect flooring.

Fire extinguisher.

Every camper we sell goes through a PDI check, a full valet, is serviced, and comes with a new MOT and a 3 month warranty.

Shipping & Returns

Shipping & Returns

We love making books, and happy customers are our greatest reward.

If you are not satisfied with our work, please let us know and give us an opportunity to make it right. We'll fix it or accept your return for a refund.

We often make books for special occasions, sometimes on very short deadlines. We pride ourselves in doing our best to deliver on time, but we cannot make promises that the carriers or Postal Service will not make. We ship most of our books by US Postal Service, and our experience has been very positive in reliability and timely delivery. But since USPS does not make delivery date commitments, neither can we.

We offer free standard shipping within the United States. Priority Mail shipping is also available for extra cost. For deliveries within the United States, our standard shipping takes between 5 and 9 days days, while Priority Mail shipping takes 2-3 days.

International shipping costs are calculated at checkout. Delivery times vary between countries and even regions within a country. In our experience, shipping takes between 10 days and 2 weeks.

If you need a faster or assured delivery, we do offer FedEx and UPS as an alternative.

We do our best to send your book on its way safely, but we cannot take responsibility for late, misdirected or lost packages, and we can't assume liability for any consequential damages.

In summary, we will try our best, within our powers and reason, to make you happy.

We hope this makes sense. We want you to love our books, that's what matters most to us.

Chapter XVI: The Allies Prepare For Battle

4.8K 45 1

Djar and Cookie reached the outskirts of Mahhrain, and the designated meeting point, only hours before Elyan and his followers found Omag. They spent the afternoon searching trails in the vicinity of where Josh Bucklyn had made his raids against Karn and they had to skirt around goblin scouting parties three times.

“This is going to be trickier than I thought,” said Djar, we have to be quiet enough to not get caught by goblins, yet loud enough or cover enough ground to get noticed by any allies.”

“I don’t know. I mean, even if Josh is out here hiding somewhere, where are the trolls or Treeguard? These are armies we’re talking about, not a few raiders,” said Cookie. “They have to be here by now and it shouldn’t be too difficult to find them.”

By early evening, Cookie suddenly remembered a little used side trail nearby. She said it was newer and not on their map. Indeed, it wasn’t on any map that either knew of. She found the trail easily enough, however. It was right off one of the main trails and it had been well used within the past few days. Well used may have actually been an understatement. Footprint after footprint, wagon ruts and twisted and broken branches marked the unmistakable passage of hundreds – perhaps thousands of troops.

“Here we go!” said Djar, excitedly.

“Yes, this is more like it.”

They began top hear sounds of voices and glimpsed some smoke after traveling a half mile or so down the trail.

“Halt!” came an order from a booming bass voice. Two enormous figures then appeared out of the forest. Trolls. It was unbelievable how beings so big could be so stealthy.

“Greetings!” said Djar. “I am Djar Lahroan of Mahhrain, and I need to speak to your commander.”

Both trolls suddenly went from looking like dangerous killers to looking like their best friends. “Lord Djar, Lady Cookie, come with us, we’ve been expecting you.”

They turned and quickly walked down the trail.

“But where is Chieftain Thag and Tribemasters Omag and Halk?” said one.

“Uh, Thag and Halk are still with Dymorla, way out west. Omag was with us, but we were, uh, separated back in the Durn, near Dymorla’s Keep. So you haven’t heard from him either?”

The two trolls gave each other a worried look. “No. But I’m sure the great Omag is fine,” said the shorter of the two.

They passed several groups of elves, trolls and men. There were far more elves than trolls, and a few more trolls than men. Djar thought he recognized a couple of the men, but was unsure. Several of the men cheered both him and Cookie as they passed, though no one slowed their quick pace. They passed several small clearings, some of them just cut and filled with tents. One clearing had a ring of wagons surrounded by a wide circle of trolls. It was good to see that the leaders guarded the stores. Just after that clearing, another larger clearing was still being cut. This had hundreds of tents, some of them quite large. The trolls led them to one of the largest tents near the center and well protected by another ring of fierce looking trolls.

Two monstrous trolls – huge even for their kind and nearly as large as Thag and Halk – guarded the door to the wood-framed tent.

“Garraga, Shane, this is Lord Djar and the Lady Cookie. They need to speak to the leaders.

One of the trolls merely nodded. The other didn’t move an inch, or even change his facial expression. He was like an obsidian statue. Either of them didn’t announce them or prevent them from passing.

Upon entering, they were pleasantly surprised. Trever sat at a large table in the center of what must have been the command center. Maps full of marking pins were spread out on the table and tacked to the walls.

Making Environmentalism Profitable24:50

They make up the traditional, stereotypical dichotomy in environmental disputes: the conservationists, chaining themselves to trees to prevent any type of development; and the capitalists, coldheartedly destroying the planet in pursuit of profit.

Tonight's guests say that traditional bifurcation represents an old way of thinking. These days, many conservationists have realized that their cause usually loses out to those seeking to make an economic gain. In order for environmentalism to work, they have to figure out a way to be a capitalist, to make environmentalism profitable. At the same time, Wall Street is starting to see greener pastures and profits in conservation efforts.

This hour, we examine the new marriage between the pursuit of a green planet and the pursuit of greenbacks. Is it possible to make conservationism profitable?

Katherine Ellison, co-author "The New Economy of Nature: The Quest to Make Conservation Profitable", Pulitzer-prize winning investigative journalist and veteran foreign correspondent

Badminton Success in Denmark

Nadeem, Lisa, Ashwati & Oliver went to Danish Cup. Lisa came home with two Bronze medals in the GS and GD.
The badminton scholars enjoyed a brilliant trip to Finland this half term. Lisa won GS, GD and MXD at U13, Nadeem won BS and BD at U13, Ashwati won GD with Lisa at U13 and Oliver won MXD with Lisa at u13. So a clean sweep of International titles at the U13 age group. Adam also got a Bronze medal in the U15 BD.
A very impressive performance from the guys! Well done all.

NSPCC Milton Keynes Half Marathon and 10k 2016

The Webber Independent School successfully hosted the NSPCC Milton Keynes Half Marathon again this year. The race moved from July to September this year and there is now a 10k race which a number of our own staff and students took part in.

All monies raised from this event go towards supporting the NSPCC Schools Service which helps children to understand different types of abuse and how to protect themselves.

Macmillan Coffee Morning

Last Friday the Webber community baked, faked and ate cake together to raise a fabulous grand total of £316 (up from £79 last year) for Macmillan Cancer Support.

Nifty Netball Win

On Tuesday 4th October the Webber netball squad of Year 9, 10 and 11 played an exciting game against SHLA, where they defeated the opposition by 20 goals to 13. The win was a result of their hard work together with consistent communication and teamwork throughout the game. The girls all gave 100% effort and should be proud of what they achieved.
A special mention goes to two of our Year 7 players, Sophie Shrimpton and Samantha Gomez who played in this game and although played out of position, played really well! Also another mention should go out to our star shooters, Lavinia Stevens and Eliza Chinn who both scored some amazing goals. Congratulations girls! Well done!

The future looks bleak

The future of biology
Jan Klein Scientist
Comments (0) Please sign in or register to add comments

[Q] Much of the fashion in biology today is for big science... genomics and proteomics have their big centres. How do you see biology developing?

I don't have a crystal ball to tell you how it will be developing, for one thing, and for second, you know, old people are always expected to say well, you are... I am old so it should be the way it was in my youth. But I don't feel that it should be like that and whether it's a mistake or not that it's going so big, I don't know, but I always have been against big science. I think it's mostly a waste of money and all the history of science shows us that it never leads to the attempted goal. For example cancer research... there was a time when a lot of money was put in cancer research with the goal cancer will be solved. Well, there was a lot of money put in it but it didn't solve the cancer. It brought some minor successes, but that would have come regardless or probably they came on the side of it... a lot of money was wasted. The same thing is happening with AIDS, with the HIV virus investigation. A lot of money is wasted on it because it's too big and it's just an umbrella for mediocre science and the competition is reduced in such cases. You just write a grant application for HIV... used to be, I don't think it's any more like that because the money is perhaps even not there, but... and you would have a higher chance of getting support if it was this goal. All scientists practically write at the end of their application, maybe these results will be applicable to the solution of cancer or to the solution of AIDS and so on. It's the wrong way. History teaches us this is not the way to do science. So big science today, the genomics and so on is big and again, it's a lot of waste. I come to meetings, and most recently at a meeting on genomics there are presentations that I don't understand why the people do this kind of study and they don't define any goal or anything. They just take a set of data and let's see what can we do with these data, let's compare this with this and nobody did that before so I will compare that. What is it for? I thought we are supposed to start with the question and then try to answer the question. With these genomic centres and genomics in general, okay, let's sequence, we are powerful, we can decide, we can sequence a rat, we can sequence this or that species, let's see what the comparisons show. There is no basic design in anything and I just hope that it's temporary, that it will not last too long. I think that still... and with genomic research it leads to a lot of theoretical analysis and I think in biology we still have to do experiments. Primarily it has to be experiment based and experiments can be done in small groups better than in a large group. I don't know how a consortium or how a large group is going to do jointly an experiment, so I am very sceptical about where it's going to lead. It's just that a few powerful people are promoting this idea and they are getting money for it and part of it, of course, is that they are playing in the hands of businessmen, that they are doing the job which eventually might have some economical... economical profits at the end, but the profits will be of the companies that will...  that if they want to have this kind of research, they should do it. So I'm sceptical.

Born in 1936, Jan Klein is a Czech-American immunologist who co-founded the modern science of immunogenetics – key to understanding illness and disease. He is the author or co-author of over 560 scientific publications and of seven books including 'Where Do We Come From?' which examines the molecular evolution of humans. He graduated from the Charles University at Prague in 1955, and received his MS in Botany from the same school in 1958. From 1977 to his retirement in 2004, he was the Director of the Max Planck Institute for Biology at Tübingen, Germany.

The Han-Nambu picture (Part 1)

Piecing together the particle physics puzzle
Murray Gell-Mann Scientist
Comments (0) Please sign in or register to add comments

There were a number of notions, all quite useful, that helped us to understand what was going on in particle physics. They hadn't been assembled into a real theory, but we understood lots and lots of pieces of the puzzle. And I at least had a suspicion, as many others did, that the solution would lie in a Yang-Mills theory for both the strong and the weak interactions of some kind, a soft mass mechanism of some kind. And what I didn't understand was that we would have to go to a new variable, color, so as to clear up this clash which kept getting in the way, between the… a Yang-Mills theory for the strong interactions, and a Yang-Mills theory for the weak ones. The clash was intolerable and we didn't know what to do about it.

New York-born physicist Murray Gell-Mann is known for his creation of the eightfold way, an ordering system for subatomic particles, comparable to the periodic table. His discovery of the omega-minus particle filled a gap in the system, brought the theory wide acceptance and led to Gell-Mann's winning the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1969.

Listeners: Geoffrey West

Geoffrey West is a Staff Member, Fellow, and Program Manager for High Energy Physics at Los Alamos National Laboratory. He is also a member of The Santa Fe Institute. He is a native of England and was educated at Cambridge University (B.A. 1961). He received his Ph.D. from Stanford University in 1966 followed by post-doctoral appointments at Cornell and Harvard Universities. He returned to Stanford as a faculty member in 1970. He left to build and lead the Theoretical High Energy Physics Group at Los Alamos. He has numerous scientific publications including the editing of three books. His primary interest has been in fundamental questions in Physics, especially those concerning the elementary particles and their interactions. His long-term fascination in general scaling phenomena grew out of his work on scaling in quantum chromodynamics and the unification of all forces of nature. In 1996 this evolved into the highly productive collaboration with James Brown and Brian Enquist on the origin of allometric scaling laws in biology and the development of realistic quantitative models that analyse the influence of size on the structural and functional design of organisms.

Musicals: 'nice escapist bilge'

Working in film and TV
Peter Hall Theatre director
Comments (0) Please sign in or register to add comments

I've had my toe in the water of films quite often and I've done... you know, a reasonable amount of television, She's Been Away — the Poliakoff film — Camomile Lawn. And I... I love working with the camera; there are things that I've never quite felt at ease with. One is the fact that in the theatre I'm used to challenging an actor — albeit often in a very gentle way, I hope — with finding things in himself or herself for this part, you know, and we have four, five, sometimes six weeks, in order to find that, and it's quite an interesting psychological journey. If you do that on a film set you photograph the initial agony. In other words, on a film set you've got to more or less accept what people are and what they do. You can't push it around because you photograph the strain, not the achievement. And the thing that's always fascinated me about film is its ability obviously, to capture forever, we hope, the moment.

So I mean the two films I'm proudest of, I mean...I suppose, one was The Homecoming which was a Harold Pinter play which was done with the cast which had played it on... in London and on Broadway for a long while. So I mean the play was absolutely part of their bloodstream so we were able to translate it into screen terms very speedily and very lightly and I think lost very little, and I like that film. And the other film which is something absolutely different was Akenfield which was... I mean, this is a vanished age indeed, early '70s. Cyril Bennett, who was then the Controller of London Weekend Television, asked me if I'd like to do something and I said I'd just read this book by Ronald Blythe called Akenfield and it's set in Suffolk where I was born and it seemed I could hear my grandfather talking. And he said, ‘Well, think how you could make a film for us out of it’. So Ronny and I did an 18 page treatment, 18 pages only, not a script. And on the strength of 18 pages and the fact that we were going to film it at weekends, with real people in Suffolk improvising, he gave me £100,000 and said come back in a year with the film, which would not happen in these days; there would be several accountants' meetings and a great deal of carry-on but that is what we did. And for one year we went on the 06:05 train from Liverpool Street down to Ipswich; the unit was a sort of floating group of people who happened to have Saturday and Sunday off, and they... they came and we returned on a Sunday night and I ended up with about 48 hours of film and then made it into... it was all improvised on situations and it... it's magical that film can capture somebody inventing something and saying something. Of course what amateurs cannot do is repeat it and you mustn't ask them to. So whatever you get, you hold and you develop on from there.

[Q] So you had no professional actors at all?

None at all, none at all. And the other... I mean...

[Q] All local people.

All local people and it was... it was a wonderful time for me being back in the area where I was born and... you know, I could hear all my family and that Suffolk accent. I just... it was... it was a wonderful experience. It's...

[Q]Who wrote the music for it?

Well, I was just going to get onto that because originally the music was supposed to be by Benjamin Britten who hadn't done a film score since The Royal Mail [sic] in the '30s. And he said he would do it and then alas, he had his heart attack and it never happened, he couldn't do it. But I used Michael Tippett's concerto on a Corelli theme which is a very lush, romantic, but neurotic piece... beautiful piece. And Michael was a great friend; I did The Knot Garden at Covent Garden and Ice Break at Glyndebourne. I miss him very much. And I just did Midsummer Marriage in Chicago so... Tippett's been an important influence on me. Britten, I didn't know well but that is a sadness that he didn't do that. He asked me to do the very first production of A Midsummer Night's Dream but... in 1960... but I was... I was in the midst of starting the RSC so I couldn't. But I did it much later and next year it's... this year it's on at Glyndebourne for the 24th year, I think, 24 years.

British-born theatre director, Sir Peter Hall (1930-2017), ran the Arts Theatre where, in 1955, he directed the English-language premiere of 'Waiting for Godot' by Samuel Beckett. He also founded the Royal Shakespeare Company when he was only 29, and directed the National Theatre from 1973 to 1988. He was at the Shakespeare Memorial Theatre in Stratford-on-Avon for two season from 1957-1959. He also directed 'Akenfield' for London Weekend Television and ran the Peter Hall Company, which has 40 productions worldwide to its name. In 1963, he was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) and in 1977 was knighted for his contribution to the theatre. In 1999, he was also honoured with a Laurence Olivier Award.

Feline Leukemia by Frank Utchen, DVM

Question: Dr. Utchen, I recently adopted a cat from an animal shelter and when I took her to my vet she tested positive for feline leukemia. She seems perfectly healthy right now, but what can I expect down the line? Is my other cat at risk of getting leukemia?

The Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV) is in the same family of viruses as the human AIDS virus (HIV). Although not contagious to people FeLV is essentially as serious to cats as HIV is to us humans.

The Feline Leukemia Virus is found in an infected cat's saliva and is spread from cat to cat through biting, although the virus itself dies in a matter of just a few minutes when outside of a cat's body on inanimate surfaces.

However, when the virus is introduced into a cat's system by a bite wound the virus can induce several forms of disease, or the cat can succeed in fighting off the virus.

When a cat first contracts the virus, there is a 30-40% chance he will actually fight off the virus and become immune to it. This occurs during the first few months a cat has the virus in his system. After that, if the virus is still present, it means the virus has won the first battle and has actually spliced it's DNA into the cat's DNA and can no longer be fought off.

For those cats that do not fight off the virus in the first few months, they will be carriers of the virus for the rest of their lives. In this case, there is no outward indication that a cat has the virus in its system. Statistically, about half of these cats will become ill and die within the first few months, and most of the remainder will die within 3 years. There are a few cats, about 5%, that are believed to carry the virus indefinitely without becoming sick.

When a cat becomes sick with the virus, it can develop the cancer of leukemia (hence the name of the virus) or it can develop other separate conditions, usually related to suppression of the cat's immune system, similar to the way AIDS affects humans. Virtually any symptoms can be a result of FeLV: respiratory infections, gum infections, vomiting, diarrhea, even eye infections.

Experimental work has been done using an immune stimulant called Interferon, which cats can take orally in liquid form every day to help boost their failing immune system.

Experts are divided on how effective this is. If a cat becomes ill with bacterial infections as a result of a suppressed immune system, antibiotics are needed.

The key when owning a cat who carries FeLV is to minimize the cat's exposure to infection, and eliminate contact of the cat with other cats.  Keeping a carrier cat indoors is almost always recommended and fortunately most cats are content to stay indoors.

There is an effective immunization against FeLV that cats that go outdoors should be given. In most cases this immunization is needed every 3 years. For cat's living indoors, with no direct contact with other cats, the vaccine is not absolutely necessary, as the only way for a cat to contract the virus is to be bitten by an already infected cat.

For a cat who already is discovered to be a carrier of the virus, immunization will not help, although it will not hurt either if a carrier cat receives the vaccine inadvertently. For this reason, we recommended doing a simple blood test on all newly adopted cats to be sure they aren't already carriers, prior to immunizing them. The blood test is done on just a few drops of blood and takes a veterinarian 10 minutes to perform.

If your other cat is not already immunized against FeLV, that cat should be tested for FeLV, and if they test negative (don't have the virus) they should be immunized against FeLV with a series of 2 injections given 3 weeks apart. After that, the immunizations are given every 3 years. I have never seen a cat who was immunized ever contract the virus from another cat.

If your newly adopted cat appears at all ill, consult your veterinarian immediately and be aggressive with treatment for any emerging problems. Remember your cat's immune system is very likely suppressed, but with proper care you can help keep him healthy as long as possible.

5 Fabulous Holiday Decor Hacks

December 3, 2018

By Joanne Rosa

There’s nothing like a well decorated space during the holidays.

It’s all fun and games until it actually comes time to decorate, and you can’t figure out how they did that one thing you saw in the magazine or on TV. Luckily, our art department with Michael Lee Scott and Chris Siretz have the best hacks to make decorating this year easy, fun, and fabulous!

HACK: Wall Decor That Won’t Mark the Wall

There’s nothing worse than taking a decoration down, only to find out that it damaged the wall. The fireplace in our guest entrance wouldn’t be possible if it wasn’t for this hack!

Supplies Needed

Supplies for wall decor hack

– Double stick tape
– Painters Tape
– Wall Decor

Put double stick tape on the decor you want to hang.

Stick painters tape on the wall where the decor will be hung.

When it’s time to take down the decorations, your wall will be pristine!

DIY: Custom Ornament

Michael Lee holding custom ornament

Whether you’re tired of the ornaments you have, or want to put your own spin on your tree, making these custom ornaments will be the easiest thing you do this year!

Supplies Needed

Supplies needed for custom ornament

– Fabric (Something with a little stretch is always good. Michael Lee and Chris used velvet, satin, and fur in the past)
– Styrofoam ball (Any size your heart desires!)
– Floral wire
– Scissors
– Pliers (Optional)

Cut off twice the amount of fabric needed to cover the styrofoam ball.

Pull the fabric over the styrofoam ball as tight as you can and hold it together.

Grab the floral wire, and have a helper twist it around the fabric (they can use either their hands or pliers to do this).

There will probably be a lot of wire on your ornament. Don’t get rid of it! This can be used to secure the ornament to the tree.

Take the scissors and cut off the extra fabric.

HACK: Ornament Clusters

Ornament cluster for holiday tree

One is fine, two is company, but three is a party. There will be no square inch of the tree left empty with this ornament hack.

Supplies Needed

Supplies needed for ornament cluster

– Three ornaments of the same size (random colors)
– Floral Wire

Grab three ornaments and secure the ornament caps with hot glue.

Take one piece of floral wire and string the ornaments.

Pinch the floral wire so all the ornaments come together, and twist the floral wire a few times.

Put on the tree with our tree ornament hack below!

HACK: Don’t Hang Ornaments on the Tree

The key here is to make the ornaments look like they are coming at you, instead of drooping and weighing down the tree. This works best with artificial trees, but can also be used with real trees that have strong branches.

Supplies Needed
– Strong ornament (like the cluster or custom ornament above)
– Floral wire

Fasten the floral wire onto the ornament securely (if necessary, feel free to use a hot glue gun). Tuck the ornament into the tree as far as you can go.

Twist the floral wire around a strong branch (like the stripe on a candy cane).

DIY: Giant Holiday Bow

Giant gift bow

Create the most beautiful bow for your gifts under the tree in under a minute!

Supplies Needed

Supplies needed for giant holiday gift bow

– Scissors
– Floral Wire
– Wide Paper Ribbon (paper ribbon works better than wire ribbon)
– Double Stick Tape (

Take your ribbon (don’t cut it yet) and loosely wrap in a loop once. Pinch the center of the looped ribbon. This will be how large the bow is, so adjust accordingly. Repeat the looping until you reach the desired size (Chris recommends 4 loops for something small). Once you’ve reached the desired amount of loops, cut the ribbon (keep the “tail ends” on the same side).

Fold the center of the loop in half. At the half point, cut the edges on a small diagonal (this will help you get the bow tight and looking right for the next step).

Take the floral wire, pull through the folded ribbon loop, pinch together as tight as possible, and twist.

Grab double stick tape and place on top of package/gift. Then, take each bow loop and tug at them to separate. Find the center of the bow, and press onto double stick tape.

Once in place, “fluff” the bow out to make it bigger, add height, and get rid of any creases or folds. Lastly, cut the tail ends of the bow to make it look fierce.

• Is Laser Dentistry Really Pain Free?

    Most people would advise against sticking sharp metal things in your mouth, but then dentists come at you with a noisy metal drill and that’s supposed to be normal? No wonder people are afraid of going to the dentist when many dental procedures require anesthesia injections, stitches, and lots of recovery time. Fortunately, there is a new game in town that is helping highly skilled dentists in St. Louis take the “Ouch!” out of dental visits. Laser dentistry is a fast and effective method that uses heat and light to perform a wide variety of dental procedures. Most importantly, laser dentistry is virtually pain-free!

    How laser dentistry works

    A laser dental treatment works by honing an intense beam of light energy to perform precise dental procedures. They are easy to control and allow dentists to painlessly cut or vaporize tissue on contact, eliminate decay in teeth, and remove soft tissue from gums. Blood loss is minimized because the high-energy light beam cauterizes as it works, which drastically reduces recovery times and the need for over-the-counter pain killers. Lasers also prevent bacterial infections by sterilizing the area and minimizing damage to the surrounding tissues.

    What makes laser dentistry painless?

    If just the thought of a scalpel going near your mouth gives you the shivers, then laser dentistry is your new best friend. This high-energy light technology is vastly less invasive than traditional methods. It eliminates the use of drills and scalpels in many dental procedures, which also reduces the need for anesthesia. Even biopsies and cavity fillings are made painless with laser dentistry! All procedures are performed with pinpoint accuracy to protect the surrounding tissues, and there are no stitches to care for afterwards. As an added bonus, lasers sterilize as they go, which reduces the risk of painful bacterial infections.

    The Solea laser

    As the number one selling hard and soft tissue laser in the industry, the Solea laser is the epitome of painless dentistry. If you are an anxious dental patient, you may lean on anesthesia to get you through a dental visit, even if you hate the groggy or numb feeling you are left with after the fact. But with the Solea laser, most dental patients skip anesthesia all together because they just don’t need it! Solea is the first CO 2 laser that uses a unique wavelength guided by sophisticated computer controls to vaporize tissue and enamel from any angle with amazing speed and accuracy. With no pain-triggering vibrations and anesthesia-free results, you can now undergo several hard and soft tissue procedures in one comfortable dental visit.

    Painless dentistry really is possible with the revolutionary laser dental treatments provided by West County Dental . Our exceptional team is dedicated to making your time in the chair comfortable, and we are always happy to answer your questions or address your concerns to ensure the absolute best dental experience.

  • 4 Tips to Save Time and Money at the Dentist

    If you are one of the many people who have shied away from visiting the dentist because of time or money issues, you are definitely not alone. The huge cost of dental care can create financial hardships and take up countless sick days, but there are several ways to reduce your dental costs. Here are 4 tips that will help you save a lot of time and money on your next dental visit.

    Establish an effective preventative care routine

    First things first, not getting a cavity is always cheaper than the lowest priced filling. Regular brushing and flossing sounds like a no-brainer, but your family dentist will have a variety of tips and tricks to help you maximize your daily routine. West County Dental even uses intra-oral cameras to show you where to focus on brushing, thus helping you avoid expensive dental procedures and special trips to the dentist down the line.

    Visit the dentist regularly

    Routine checkups are also a key ingredient to lower dental care costs. An experienced family dentist can remove harmful plaque and tartar build-up, administer fluoride treatments and dental sealants to protect teeth between cleanings, and treat oral diseases at the earliest possible stage. High-tech dentists also streamline procedures by using 3D imaging for faster, more accurate diagnostics, which reduces patient costs and recovery times.

    Choose a family dentist that uses laser dentistry

    One of the best ways to ensure faster and less painful dental procedures is to select a dental care facility that utilizes laser dentistry. This technology accurately pinpoints certain areas that need work, removes tooth decay, prevents gum disease from progressing, and sterilizes areas for fillings all while leaving the surrounding tissue intact. Laser dentistry reduces the need for anesthesia and causes less bleeding and swelling, allowing for better results with less pain, time commitments, and out-of-pockets costs.

    Enquire about 3D printing services

    When it comes to crowns or dental implants, many dental offices have to order the materials from a lab, wait for the product to be produced, and then wait for it to be shipped back to them. Since this lengthy process is not cost-efficient, many practices like West County Dental have invested in 3D printers to print their own materials. This technology drastically cuts down on turnaround times and makes high-quality, same day crowns and dental implants possible. 3D printing can also be done for a fraction of the price of traditional methods, which is reflected in lower dental fees.

    Faster, more affordable dental care is out there if you know where to look, especially when your search leads you to West County Dental. Our highly trained dental team uses the latest advances in technology to streamline dental procedures and eliminate extraneous costs, passing the savings in both time and money directly on to you.

  • How 3-D Imaging Will Change Dentistry Forever

    Typical dental x-rays can be a tedious and uncomfortable process. Numerous individual images are required to cover the entire mouth, which allows for too much cranial exposure to radiation. Also, traditional x-rays only focus on your teeth with no way to enhance the images, making it almost impossible to study the surrounding bone structure, bone density, tissues, and nerves for diagnostic purposes. But times are changing and the newest advances in 3-D imaging and digital technology are taking the dental industry by storm. Here are just a few of the remarkable ways 3-D dentistry is changing the way family dentists in St. Louis take care of your teeth.

    Revolutionizing the way dentists gather information

    Instead of interpreting two-dimensional information to diagnose tooth and gum conditions, 3-D dentistry allows dentists to see a much clearer picture of what is going on in your mouth. All you have to do is sit in a chair while the scanner moves in a complete circle around your head, gathering data all along the way. Then, the dentist can instantly call up any image, view it from all angles, and enhance or modify it. These 3-D images can show fractured roots, accessory canals, nerve placements, the density and structure of surrounding bones, and even early signs of gum disease. With all of this information at their fingertips, dentists can more accurately diagnose any potential conditions and create a more effective dental treatment plan.

    Making dental visits as painless as possible

    Painless dentistry is within reach using the latest advances in 3-D imaging. In its simplest form, 3-D dentistry can show dentists where nerves are located, thus allowing them to steer clear during dental procedures. 3-D images can also help dentists pinpoint the appropriate size, type, and placement for dental implants, reducing the likelihood of painful problems further down the road. Tumors, oral diseases, or impacted teeth can be identified and dealt with in the early stages, and any necessary surgical procedures can be mapped out from start to finish in order to maximize efficiency and reduce recovery times.

    Transforming smiles in just one day

    Long gone are the days where dental implants and natural-looking crowns took weeks or even months to install. Now, an experienced dental team can transform your smile in just a day with the latest advances in 3-D dentistry. The transformation process begins with a non-invasive 3-D photo scan, which is then optimized or enhanced by the dentist and transferred to an on-site milling device. Since the entire process is completed in one day, there is no need for painful temporary crowns or messy impressions, and the end result is a custom restorative device made from color-matching ceramic that is indistinguishable from your existing teeth.

    Not only is 3-D dentistry giving dentists a more detailed view of the mouth and skull, but it has also led to more accurate diagnostics, advances in painless dentistry, and transformative same day crowns or dental implants. For more information on how West Coast Dental utilizes 3-D imaging in their outstanding dental services, give us a call at (314) 821-2712!

  • What You Should Know Before a Root Canal

    At your last dental visit, your dentist uttered two words that many people fear: root canal. While the procedure will eliminate your lingering tooth pain and hopefully reduce your immense sensitivity to hot and cold, the very idea of a root canal procedure can be a bit frightening. Here is a helpful guide that covers the most important things you should know before getting root canal therapy.

    What exactly is a root canal?

    When the blood or nerve supply of a tooth, also known as the pulp, is infected, root canal therapy is necessary to remove the infected tissue. Unfortunately, a root canal cannot save the tooth, but by preserving its natural structure, you will be able to chew food and speak properly.

    What are some of the symptoms?

    There are several signs that you may need a root canal procedure, including:

    • Lingering or spontaneous pain in response to hot or cold drink
    • Positional pain that is worse when you lay down, stand up suddenly, or run in place
    • A white, yellow, or red pimple-looking blister on your gum
    • An abscess, which will show up on an x-ray
    • Pain in your jaw, ear, or surrounding teeth

    Why is root canal therapy needed?

    If an infection in the pulp of a tooth spreads to the underlying root canal system, it can lead to an abscess, which is an inflamed pus-filled pocket that causes swelling around the tooth. If a root canal is not done, the infection may spread to other areas of the face, you may suffer bone loss around the tip of the root, or the tooth may have to be extracted.

    What does the procedure entail?

    During root canal therapy, a dentist will remove the inflamed or infected pulp and carefully clean out and shape the inside of the tooth. Then, they will fill and seal the space to prevent further infection. The final step is for the dentist to place a crown on the tooth to protect its structural integrity. After a root canal procedure is completed, your tooth will function like any other tooth.

    Is the procedure painful?

    No, there should not be any root canal pain. With the use of a local anesthetic, the procedure should be no different than if you were having an ordinary filling done. Afterwards, you may feel a bit sore, but that will diminish over time.

    How long will the root canal procedure take?

    A root canal is a time-consuming procedure that often involves two or more visits to your dentist. The first appointment may be quite long as the dentist needs to remove the infected tissue and allow any abscesses to drain. Once the tooth is closed and shaped for filling, a temporary cap is put in and the tooth is left to settle. At the next appointment, the tooth is checked and if all is clear, it is permanently filled and capped.

    Is any special care necessary after treatment?

    Care instructions will be given out after each appointment, but good oral hygiene and regular dental visits are essential to ensuring the best results.

    If you are experiencing tooth pain, don’t suffer in silence! Instead, utilize the knowledge and expertise of the West County Dental team in St. Louis, MO to help you find relief.

  • 4 Ways Technology Has Improved Your Visit to the Dentist

    A dentist appointment may not be your idea of a good time, but taking care of your teeth is your number one ticket to lifelong oral health. Fortunately, dental visits are not what they used to be! Technology has revolutionized the face of dentistry as we know it by helping St. Louis dentists find new ways to reduce tooth pain and create faster, safer, and more comfortable dental procedures. From crowns in a day to laser dentistry, here are 4 ways technology is taking the fear out of going to the dentist:

    No more pain!

    If your fear of the dentist chair has prevented you from dealing with your tooth pain, then your day has come! Laser dentistry is virtually painless and can be used in a wide variety of dental procedures. The Solea system, for example, is a CO 2 dental laser that uses a unique wavelength guided by sophisticated computers to work on both hard and soft tissues. The resulting procedure is blood-free and anesthesia-free, and there are no needles, scary-looking drills, or bone-chilling noises. Best of all, you can go right back to work without the lingering numbing affects that often cause embarrassing drooling and slurred speech.

    Instant results

    In the past, those suffering from damaged, broken, or missing teeth needed numerous trips to the dentist, countless injections, and days or months spent recovering between procedures in order to achieve the results they were after. However, the latest advances in 3D imaging and crown printing have made effective same day dental procedures a reality. Using CAD-CAM (Computer Aided Design-Computer Aided Manufacturing) technology, a non-invasive 3D scanner captures an image of your damaged teeth and an on-site milling device prints a perfect match within minutes. No temporary crowns, no messy impressions, and more of your natural tooth saved, all thanks to technology.

    Faster, safer diagnoses

    X-rays have always been an essential tool for diagnosing conditions of your teeth and gums, but traditional x-rays take time to create and expose patients to dangerous radiation. Modern digital X-rays have streamlined the diagnostic process. Since they immediately appear on computer screens, they can be digitally transferred to allow for faster communication between dentist and patient or enhanced for a more accurate diagnosis. Digital x-rays also provide greater comfort than traditional x-rays and reduce radiation exposure by 80-90%.

    Interactive treatments

    Have you always wondered exactly what the dentist sees when they look in your mouth? Well, now you can see for yourself with an intra-oral camera. This small device allows you to view the inside of your mouth in real time, giving the dentist an opportunity to further examine causes of tooth pain and discuss with you recommended dental procedures. The camera is also a great tool for pointing out where to focus on brushing, which allows you to maximize your dental hygiene routine.

    When it comes to cutting-edge technology and effective dental procedures, the experienced team at West County Dental is the best in St. Louis, MO. We always stay ahead of the latest tools and techniques to bring you specialized dental care and fast, comfortable results.

  • “Same Day” Dental Procedures – How do they work?

    Does this describe you? Every time you look in the mirror, you’re disappointed in the appearance of your teeth, and although you know there are dental procedures out there that will help improve your smile, you worry about the time, cost, and discomfort involved. You only have so many sick days and flu season is right around the corner, so “same day” dental procedures sound promising – but can you really receive high-quality dental implants without uncomfortable impressions, temporary fixes, and return dental visits?

    The answer is a resounding “Yes!” with the newest advances in cutting-edge dentistry!

    Utilizing CAD-CAM (Computer Aided Design-Computer Aided Manufacturing) technology, West County Dental can make everything from crowns and dental implants to full or partial dentures all in one day.

    Restoring damaged teeth with same-day crowns and veneers

    Overhauling your smile in just one appointment is easier than you think, especially when your dentist utilizes the latest techniques and equipment. During the initial consultation, a dentist will exam your teeth and get a full understanding of what you would like to achieve. For dental procedures involving crowns and veneers, the dentist will remove a thin layer from the existing tooth before using a revolutionary 3D scanner to take an accurate photo. No messy, uncomfortable impressions here! Once the image is captured, an on-site milling device gets straight to work. This crown printing CAD-CAM technology creates a perfect model of your tooth using color-matching ceramic materials. When the crown or veneer is complete, the dentist simply places it on the existing tooth and off you go!

    Replacing broken or missing teeth with same day dental implants

    What better way to boost your self-confidence than by filling out your smile with perfect, natural-looking dentures or dental implants?

    Traditional dental implant procedures require months between visits and multiple recovery periods, but with the advanced technology of a high-tech family dental office, you can have everything done in one session! Using 3D digital imaging and the latest surgical techniques, a dentist can place the dental implants and securely attach new prosthetic teeth right there in the office.

    With just one short recovery period and instant results, this permanent and effective solution will surely give you something to smile about.

    What are you waiting for?

    A fast, easy, and affordable solution for achieving the smile you’ve always wanted is possible with same day crowns, dentures and dental services. All you need is an experienced family dental team like West County Dental to create perfect, natural-looking teeth in a single visit with the most advanced 3D scanning and crown printing technologies available. To see if you are a good candidate for same day dental implants or to find out more information about same day crowns, contact Dr. Pete Spalitto and the West County Dental team.

  • How Do Root Canals Work?

    root canals St. Louis

    If you have learned that you may need a root canal procedure, you may be wondering what exactly this procedure entails. Root canal technology has advanced significantly in recent years, and your St. Louis dentist will be able to provide you with a much more comfortable experience than dental patients of the past could expect. Here is a brief overview of how a root canal works.

    Accessing the Infected Tooth
    When you come to your dentist’s office for a root canal procedure, your dentist will begin by applying local anesthesia in order to ensure your comfort. A rubber dam is placed to keep the tooth dry. Then, your dentist will gain access to the inside of your tooth—that is, the root canal. At West County Dental, we utilize the Solea Laser to ensure precise and painless treatment during this procedure.

    Removing Infected Tissue and Pulp
    Once your dentist has gained access to the root canal, he will remove all of the infected tissue from your tooth’s interior. Patients can expect this step of the procedure to be painless and safe. Your dentist will continue cleaning the inside of your tooth until all of the pulp and nerve tissue has been taken out.

    Filling and Sealing the Tooth
    The final step of the root canal procedure is to fill and seal the tooth. This often takes place at a second appointment. After your dentist has finished cleaning out your tooth, he will seal it using a filling, then place a dental cap to ensure that the tooth stays stable and free from future infection. Your treated tooth may be sensitive for a period of time after the procedure.

    If you are experiencing any discomfort in your teeth, it’s time to visit Dr. Spalitto and his team at West County Dental. We will be happy to thoroughly answer your questions about oral care and address any concerns that you may have about root canals. Call us today at (314) 821-2712 to set up an appointment at our office.

  • Precise Dentistry with the Solea Laser

    Can you imagine going to the dentist and receiving painless treatment for tooth decay without anesthesia? With the Solea Laser, that dream has become a reality. Approved by the FDA in 1990, the Solea Laser allows your St. Louis dentist to perform procedures with greater precision and virtually no discomfort for the patient. The laser, which is less than one-eighth the diameter of a human hair, effectively replaces the dental drill. It does not vibrate or make any noise, and it results in no bleeding during soft tissue procedures. It’s the perfect solution for any patient who has ever dreaded a visit to the dentist, making even oral surgery a sensationless experience.

    At West County Dental, we are proud to utilize state-of-the-art dental technology, including the Solea Laser , to ensure the best possible care for our patients. Visit our website to learn more about our services, or call us today at (314) 821-2712 to schedule an appointment with Dr. Spalitto.

  • Reasons You Need a Dental Filling

    cavities St. Louis

    A dental filling is a straightforward procedure that can generally be performed in your dentist’s office during the course of one visit. There are a number of reasons why your family dentist in St. Louis may advise you that a dental filling is necessary. Keep reading to learn a few of the most common reasons why patients require dental fillings.

    During a routine cleaning, your dentist will examine your teeth to check for any signs of tooth decay. If your dentist discovers a cavity on any of your teeth, he or she will recommend either a filling or another course of action such as a root canal procedure. Toothache and sensitivity to hot and cold sensations are some of the most common symptoms of a cavity, so if you experience these symptoms, call your dentist.

    Tooth Fractures
    Fractured teeth can also be treated with fillings. If you have suffered a tooth fracture—whether because of trauma to your tooth, biting into a hard piece of food, or another incident—it is important to make an appointment with your dentist as soon as possible. Tooth fractures can become significantly worse if they are not addressed right away, and they can lead to bacterial infections in your mouth.

    Replacing an Old Filling
    All fillings may eventually need to be replaced. Pressure from chewing, as well as clenching or grinding your teeth, can take a toll on older fillings. Over time, these factors can cause fillings to chip, crack, or even fall out. Bacteria can also accumulate in the cavity left from a missing or improperly positioned filling and lead to infections.

    How long has it been since your last dental cleaning? If your teeth are in need of professional care, call West County Dental at (314) 821-2712 to make an appointment. You can always count on us for quality dental care using state-of-the-art technology. Dr. Spalitto and his knowledgeable team will ensure that your experience is comfortable, positive, and relaxing.

  • What Causes Bad Breath?

    Dr. Spalitto refers to bad breath as halitosis. As you will learn in this video, bad breath can signify an underlying dental problem.

    Chronic bad breath is a common problem in family dentistry. While occasional bad breath is no cause for concern, you should tell your dentist if your bad breath lasts longer than a few hours. Halitosis may be caused by gum disease or could signify a tooth abscess or infection. Cavities and gum disease require immediate treatment for the best possible prognosis.

    If you suffer from bad breath, seek treatment from dentist Dr. Spalitto by calling West County Dental at (314) 821-2712.

The Dignity of Difference

July 8, 2018
Reverend Timothy Hart-Andersen
Choral Evensong, 1662 Book of Common Prayer
St. Mary’s Church, Warwick, England

Jeremiah 20:1-11a; Romans 14:1-17

“Let us therefore no longer pass judgment on one another,” the Apostle Paul says to the church in Rome…and in Warwick… and in Minneapolis…”But resolve instead never to put a stumbling block or hindrance in the way of another.” (Romans 14:13)

Let us therefore no longer pass judgment on one another.

That’s a tall order in today’s world of Internet trolling and social media take-downs. Passing judgment on one another – at least in American culture – has become a national pastime. Everyone does it, from the White House to houses of worship, from Wall Street to Main Street, and everywhere in between.

In my own experience as a preacher in an urban American congregation judgment comes in a variety of ways. A neighboring evangelical pastor sends me his books on Jesus, with a cover letter judging my sermons as inadequate. A parishioner takes issue with a comment I make about Palestinians and calls me anti-Semitic.

And, of course, I myself have fallen into the habit of judging others.

The first congregation I served was located in the heart of San Francisco and surrounded by many people living on the streets. One day the church door buzzer rang in the second floor office and a voice came over the intercom asking for help. We rolled our eyes; we had been through this many times and had heard so many phony stories.

I asked a staff member to answer the door; when she came back she said an unkempt, slightly frightening man at the door told her he needed $10 for a prescription at the pharmacy around the corner.

“What did you do?” I asked.

“I didn’t have $10, so I gave him a 20 and asked him to bring back the change.”

“You’ll never see it,” I said, judging him to be a con artist.

About ten minutes later the door buzzer rang again and the man’s voice came over the speaker. To our surprise he was back with the change. The staff member went down and thanked him, and he thanked her.

No sooner had she come back into the office when the buzzer sounded again. It was the same man. His voice came over the intercom. “Love,” he said, “Begins with trust.”

It’s a simple story, but it taught us a lesson in how easily we rob others of their humanity – mostly because we fear them.

Let us therefore no longer pass judgment on one another.

Your vicar assures me that never happens in Britain. I have read that England’s success in the World Cup – the Garret Southgate phenomenon – has occasioned a ceasefire in the culture wars here, at least for the time being.

Actually, of course, what concerns the Apostle Paul happens everywhere. It comes with being human. Each of us is capable of demeaning others. Human nature has within it the capacity, maybe even inclination, to think and speak ill of others; Paul’s words are meant to alert us to that reality and encourage us to rely instead on “the better angels of our nature” (President Abraham Lincoln in his Second Inaugural Address) – or as Michelle Obama puts it, “When they go low, we go high.”

That’s what Paul’s after – not uniformity of thought or opinion; disagreeing is fine – but, rather, he’s pushing against the deeply-ingrained human propensity to divide ourselves into those we deem acceptable and those we judge as beyond the pale. When we give in to that tendency we’re headed for trouble.

Political rhetoric in the U.S. these days provides us with ample illustration of this human inclination. Immigrants are labeled criminals. Muslims are deemed to be terrorists. Women are demeaned and diminished. African-Americans are assumed to fit racist stereotypes. Liberals are “elitists”; conservatives, “deplorables.” Any hint of shared national purpose or empathy is tossed aside.

The Apostle Paul would not be pleased.

Many assume the recent American presidential election was determined by those “left behind” economically. Studies, however, show there were other forces at work, and the Apostle Paul would recognize them.

Researchers have identified what they call “group status threat” as a key factor in determining voter choice in the presidential election. Specifically, white Christian males as a group are experiencing “status shock,” as they find themselves losing dominance in the increasingly diverse American demographic reality.

Within about 25 years there will be no majority ethnic or racial group in America. The perception of impending cultural displacement can be terrifying for some. A candidate for office using openly racist language would find an eager audience in some quarters. (See: Niraj Choksi, Trump Voters Driven by Fear of Losing Status, Not Economic Anxiety, Study Finds; New York Times, 4/14/18)

“Why do you pass judgment on your brother or sister?” Paul asks. “Why do you despise your brother or sister?”

The politics being wielded in America today plays on fear, specifically, fear of “the other.” When we sense a threat to our identity or status from someone we have judged to be an outsider, we react in fear and begin to build walls, or worse. Policy based on religious prejudice acts out unfounded anxieties. Declaring immigrants criminals reflects fearmongering and denies the national narrative. Giving equal credence to those involved in neo-Nazi rallies and to participants in counter protests shows ignorance of history and fear of the other.

The Christian Church is certainly not immune to this dynamic. Studies show that 81% of white American evangelicals who voted in the recent presidential election were motivated less by their faith and more by fear of demographic shifts in the country. People are circling the wagons for protection.

I don’t know about Britain, but a kind of ugly tribalism has taken root in America, driven by fear of those not like us. The Christian Church sometimes finds itself encouraging this fracturing, at other times resisting it.

This is nothing new. Even in its infancy the Church had similar problems. The Apostle Paul encountered divisive trends every place he visited in his missionary travels. We read about it in his epistles – how to reconcile Jews and Gentiles, how to make peace with those following Greek gods and unknown gods and those following the Hebrew God, whether to welcome outsiders, such as those with different eating habits, as in today’s text.

Jesus himself spent his ministry pushing against barriers that had formed in his time, barriers that forced some out and allowed others in. At the heart of the ministry of Jesus was concern fornot fear of – the “other,” the “outsider,” the “stranger.” Jesus was, after all, a Jew, and had grown up hearing the narrative of his people: “You shall not oppress a stranger…for you yourselves were strangers in the land of Egypt.”

The fundamental ethic of our religion, from the start, is love of the other. Our faith instinctively rebels against the conclusion that anyone not like us does not share our common humanity and is, therefore, not deserving of dignity.

“The challenge of the religious imagination,” Rabbi Jonathan Sacks says, “Is to see God’s image in one who is not in our image.”

Sacks served as Chief Rabbi of the U.K. from 1991-2013. “The critical test of any order,” he says, “Is: does it make space for otherness? Does it acknowledge the dignity of difference?” (The Dignity of Difference; London: Continuum, 2003; pp. 60-61)

If the rabbi is right, then we are failing miserably. The dignity of difference is not a primary motivator for most of us. When we routinely do not recognize the full humanity of the other we are in trouble, particularly if that is true of our leaders. What seem to be passing political squabbles begin pointing in more sinister – possibly even lethal – directions. Tribalism left unchecked, especially when heavily armed as it is in America, can spiral into violence and chaos.

The prophet Jeremiah warns the people of sixth-century Israel that by mistreating the innocent among them, especially the children, they show how far from God’s intention they have wandered. He predicts that great upheaval is coming upon them, and they will be carried off into exile in Babylon.  What would the prophet say to us today?

Have we forgotten that we, too, were strangers? Must we live in fear of those who are different from us? Does the commandment to love one another no longer hold? Does it not apply to everyone, including those beyond our own circles: the immigrant seeking a new home…the refugee fleeing violence…the homeless poor knocking at our doors?

Has our religion lost its ability to inspire and transform? Has our faith become complacent and, therefore, complicit?

As followers of Jesus either we insist on the dignity of the other, or we join Peter in denying our Lord. That may sound extreme, but these are not ordinary times, and there is a lot at stake.

Pursuing the justice of God often entails challenging the status quo. It may require us to resist and disturb the dominant ethos – and we may pay for it, as Jeremiah did. That path is difficult to take, especially for those who benefit most from the status quo.

Martin Luther King, Jr., wrote a letter from his jail cell in Birmingham, Alabama, in 1963, addressed to “white moderates.” With their insistence on order, King said, white moderates – no matter how well-meaning – may have been a greater “stumbling block” in the movement of African-Americans toward freedom than the openly racist Ku Klux Klan. When it came to seeking racial justice, too many white moderates, King said, were content to be a thermometer, simply recording and observing the social temperature, rather than a thermostat seeking to make real change.

The call to love the stranger among us will mean turning up the heat. We will find ourselves leaning into the prevailing winds of injustice. We will win no popularity contests.

And, remembering the Apostle Paul, as we stand up and speak out we must take care not to fall into the trap of judging others. If we do that we run the risk of repeating the cycle of seeing some as undeserving of the dignity due every person made in the image of God – even those with whom we disagree or of whom we are afraid.

By insisting on the full humanity of all, the Church offers a much-needed witness for justice and equity in our time. The future of our communities – indeed, of our world – may depend on it.

Advocating for the dignity of difference is a high and noble calling – and it begins in your life and in mine, in your city and in mine, in this congregation and in others like it, including the one I serve.

May God give us the courage we will need.

Thanks be to God.

Work from Home Jobs – How to Become a Virtual Assistant

Technology has been changing the world in the past decades. Even in employment, working from home has been the trend in the last few years. For example, virtual assistant companies like Virtual Helper 247 offer a wide variety of services at reasonable rates. The biggest advantage of work from home jobs is the fact that people no longer need to drive to work or even dress up. They can work even in their pajamas at any time of the day.

In-demand Work from Home Jobs

Among the jobs that are available online is a virtual assistant. When we say virtual assistant, it can be anything – graphic designer, writer, web developer, secretary, etc. Depending on the job, the pay can be rewarding. But one thing is for sure; you can do more things at home since you have the liberty to do so than doing an 8 to 5 day job.

The following are the most popular work from home jobs:

• Customer service representative
• Writer
• Web developer
• Graphic designer
• Secretary
• Data encoder
• Transcriptionist
• Video editor
• SEO professional
• Online English teacher

How to Become a Virtual Assistant

While many think that working as an online assistant is an easy feat; well, it isn’t. You must meet all the requirements of the prospective employer. For instance, you need to have a stable and strong internet at home, able to follow instructions, and most importantly, have the necessary knowledge and skills. If you are contemplating of working from home, here are some tips on how to become a virtual assistant.

• Be skilled – It is true that skills can be learned, but you need to have it first before applying for work from home jobs. You can at least have one to start and the rest, you can learn them as you go along being a virtual assistant. Make sure that you do not lie that you are skilled with this and that because employers are also choosy in picking applicants. They would give tests or trial periods; so if you do not fit, you will end up getting fired anyway.

• Be flexible – You need to be flexible to succeed in this type of career. Since the clients you will be working for need you to do things for them, you must be open to learning new things. For example, you have no knowledge in Photoshop, yet you are asked to do it. You might as well study and learn it. Working hours are also flexible. Some clients may require you to work extra hours or be online most of the time to ensure that you do not miss important emails and messages.

• Be patient – there is no easy to say it, but becoming a virtual assistant is not for everyone. Of course, it doesn’t mean that you cannot learn any skill; hence, you need to be patient. If you get a virtual assistance job, do not expect to have a very high salary. Learn to be patient by starting from the bottom and work your way up. If you are patient and very good with your job, you will surely have a higher salary soon.

Working from home is the preferred option for many parents, so they could be with their kids and attend to their needs. Many skilled professionals and freelancers also opt to become virtual assistants, to have control over their time and earn a decent living at the same time. If you want to work from home and become a virtual assistant, you have to be dedicated and focused in order for you to succeed. So what are you waiting for? Upgrade your knowledge and skills, and start looking for an online job now.

Duff House Royal Golf Club

3+ (3 gold): one of our top-rated 3-star courses, worthy of 3½ stars.
   Duff House Royal Golf Club Est. 1910

Where2Golf says:

Duff House Royal Golf Club is pleasantly located on the banks of the River Deveron, next to the town of Banff. Just a short distance beyond the course, the river flows out into the North Sea. Originally designed by the great James Braid, and later modified by the even more revered Dr Alister Mackenzie, the layout boasts a distinguished architectural pedigree. Laid out on relatively flat terrain, the course appears to derive more of its character more from its neighbour, the elegant Duff House mansion, than from the links-style courses typically found on Aberdeenshire's rugged north coast. Lightly tree-lined in places, more open in others, this well presented parkland course plays just under 6200 yards from its back-tees. The par of 68 includes just one par-5 and five par-3s. The easy-going appearance, with relatively little rough to speak of, belies the challenges that you'll encounter along the way. The large "Mackenzie" two-tiered greens, many well positioned bunkers and some tree-lined fairways ensures a good and fair test for golfers of all abilities. With one side of the course bounded by the river, care will be needed with your tee-shots at the 7th, 16th and 17th holes, where the river lies in wait for anything too wayward.

Did you know?

Although golf is thought to have been played in Banff for over 400 years, it was only in 1871 that a golf club was formally organised. The members of Banff GC played on the seaside Banff Links (a course that no longer exists). The club continued with varying degrees of success until the end of 1924, at which time the club merged with Banff's second golf society ... the Duff House Golf Club (the name of which was retained for the amalgamated club). Duff House Golf Club had previously been established in 1910, with its members playing on a strip of land alongside the River Deveron, which the Duke of Fife had gifted to the towns of Banff and Macduff. | Duff House Royal is one of 10 golf clubs in Scotland to have received its 'Royal' prefix from the reigning monarch. The Royal title was conferred on the club in 1925 by George V, following the patronage of Louise, Princess Royal and Duchess of Fife, George V's eldest daughter. The 10 Scottish 'Royals' are: Aberdeen, Royal & Ancient (St Andrews), Burgess, Dornoch, Duff House, Montrose, Musselburgh, Perth, Tarlair and Troon.| Adjacent to the golf course is Duff House, an 18th century William Adam mansion, filled with fine paintings, furniture, tapestries and artefacts drawn from the National Gallery of Scotland and several private lenders.
