It is likely that you will only need to have the transmission in your vehicle repaired a couple times in your life…but when that time comes, who would you trust with your vehicle? You could turn to a company I trust: Freeway Transmissions. I trust the company because I've investigated the way they operate their business, and the way they treat their customers, and as a result, I am proud to endorse Freeway Transmissions as Gephardt Approved.
"I treat a customer's vehicle like it's my own vehicle." says lead technician Gordon Gamradt. That reflects an attitude I found with everyone I talked to at Freeway Transmissions.
That way of doing business has been passed along from the founder of Freeway Transmissions for the past 45 years. The retired Gayle Nilson told me it's all about how he treated his customers in the beginning that grew his business. "I never did any advertising," said Gayle. "I treated customers well and hoped they would tell their friends. I wanted people to come back to Freeway, spread the word, and it worked." Indeed, during Gayle's time running Freeway Transmissions, he expanded beyond fixing transmissions at his downtown Salt Lake shop to rebuilding and selling transmissions in 8 states. "It's all about honesty. I never took advantage of anyone, I'm proud of it, and proud of what my son is doing."
"I treat a customer's vehicle like it's my own vehicle."
That son, Mark Nilson, now runs Freeway Transmissions with its three Salt Lake valley stores. Freeway continues to rebuild transmissions in a huge Salt Lake City rebuild center for distribution throughout the Intermountain West. "We have repaired hundreds of thousands of transmissions through the years," Mark told me. "It provides Freeway with a certain cost saving advantage to our customers. Due to our high level of technical expertise and a clear understanding of common transmission failures, we can usually quote a firm price up front. We offer a free diagnosis of each vehicle which includes checking the fluid, a vehicle test drive, retrieving diagnostic trouble codes and any necessary technical research. With our proven diagnosis method we create a specific plan for each of our customers and 9 out of 10 times no diagnostic fee is required."
It seems that happy customers make happy employees: "The attitude of the owners make this a pleasant place to work when it comes to solving customer problems," said 14 year Service Manager, Larry Bennett. "We will not sell a customer anything they don't need! Ever! When it comes to warranties we don't play games. We take responsibility when it's evident an error has occurred, that is no fault of our customers, and then we take care of our customer appropriately. If a customer has a problem they can count on a response. If we have the responsibility we will pony up, and when it comes to follow up work or warranty work, that comes first."
"We have extremely dedicated employees," Mark said. "Many of them have been with Freeway for over 15 years. Much of Freeway's success comes from making sure that those employees we hire fit into the company culture. Our employees must have a high level of expertise, a positive attitude, and a customer service oriented personality."
"With Freeway's success, my goal is to continue what my father started and stay true to his core values. He established a strong base; which we will continue to expand upon as circumstances allow," Mark said.
So, Freeway Transmissions: Now you know what I know about this company. Now you know why I trust this company and now you know why I am proud to endorse Freeway Transmissions as Gephardt Approved.

Tirumala: A major fire which broke out on Wednesday afternoon near Mangalam, is slowly spreading towards Tirumala hills, as the forest and fire officials are yet to bring the fire under control.
As per reports, close to 200 fire personnel have been pressed into action, and several have already been injured. Reportedly, the firefighters are finding it difficult to battle the fire out, due to shortage of fire tenders.
The height of fire, is close to 30 to 40 feet. The officials fear that due to fire, many wild animals may soon run onto the roads, and have issued a warning to those wanting to travel on those roads.
Reports also indicate that thousands of acres of forest, including Sandalwood trees have been destroyed in the fire.
The fire was almost brought under control on Tuesday near Kakulakonda, however it has continued to spread and is now fast reaching Tirumala. The fire officials have said that the fire can only be stopped with the help of helicopters.

Comedy Central's "Night of Too Many Stars" is a special event to raise money for autism schools, programs, and services. The event strives to be a night of fun and humor, but also manages to get you right in the feels in the best ways.
This year Jodi DiPiazza, an accomplished musician with autism, did a duet of "Yoda" with Weird Al. They were joined by autistic children's choir Actionplay Chorus. It was awesome and moving and nerdy all at the same time.
Watch the performance after the break.

|RE: Patching a jar in a wepabb
|Wed, 23 Nov 2011 18:09:22 GMT
That's possible, but I'd like to avoid having to play with the jars, I need to retain the ability to revert any changes made to the base install, I.e. If patch3 breaks it I want to go back to patch2. Being able to just remove the patch jar from the folder is much simpler than having to rebuild an entire new jar with only patches 1 and 2 included. Same thing if a new patch comes along. -----Original Message----- From: Yuan [mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com] Sent: Wednesday, November 23, 2011 12:58 PM To: Tomcat Users List Cc: <firstname.lastname@example.com> Subject: Re: Patching a jar in a wepabb Can u compile all patches into one jar file?

The Karnataka state transport department has decided to increase the road tax for the second vehicle owned by a person, no matter if the second one is a two-wheeler or a used vehicle.
According to the state transport department, there are over 1.59 crore vehicles on Karnataka roads, and of these, 60 lakh are being operated in Bengaluru city alone. Of these 60 lakh vehicles, 75 percent are two-wheelers.
To control the increase in the number of vehicles the transport department has proposed amendments to the state government
These amendments are likely to be passed in the legislative assembly council being held during the third week of June.
Confirming this, an official in the department has told The New Indian Express, "Considering the increasing number of vehicles in the state, especially in Bengaluru city, we are proposing amendments to increase the road tax for the second vehicle."
"As it is a state policy, we do not need any clearance or directions from the National Green Tribunal," he added.
The percentage of increase in road tax for the second vehicle has not been decided yet. Rumors suggest the department is proposing 50 percent more for the second vehicle.
The tax will be applicable on the purchase of a used vehicles too. In such cases, the additional tax will be calculated based on the age of the vehicle.

It's hard to determine whether we are meant to be depressed or uplifted watching the trailer for Judd Apatow's "This Is 40." Regardless, the film goes back to the "Knocked Up" characters Pete (Paul Rudd) and Debbie (Leslie Mann, the best part of "Knocked Up" by a mile) as they descend into the fearful decade of being 40-something. Joining them are "Bridesmaids" star Melissa McCarthy, token hot girl Megan Fox and someone who has actually survived their forties, John Lithgow.
"This Is 40" will be the comic Christmas relief in theaters when it opens December 21.

This is all by way of saying that later this week I'll be 3/4 of the way through posting Fare Game and I can smell the finish line. I can smell home some place nearby. And, quite frankly, I'm getting excited! Continue reading

Katy Perry Russell
January 21, 2012 by staff
Katy Perry Russell, The 27-year-old is only following 83 people on Twitter and Brand is no longer one of them, the Mirror reported. However, the British comedian is still following the pop star on the microblogging site. Twitter had been a flirting ground for the pair in happier times but Russell overstepped the trust boundaries when he posted a picture of his wife with no make up on, looking pretty rough and grimacing – just to top it off.
In recent times though the site is where Perry chose to thank her fans for their support following Brand's announcement that they were divorcing in December.
"I am so grateful for all the love and support I've had from people around the world. You guys have made my heart happy again," she had tweeted.
Though, the singer's decision to stop rustyrocket updates popping up on her phone can be attributed to the fact that she's furious with him for blindsiding her with the divorce papers.
She might also be angry over gossip that he's about to spill on the juicy details about their time together in a tell-all book.

"Flaunden Ward , Watford General Hospital"
About: Watford General Hospital / General surgery Watford General Hospital General surgery WD18 0HB
Posted by Tracey12 (as ),
I was admitted last week, with abdominal issues and placed within Flaunden Ward. The first night there unbearable, although there are signs up, asking people to be quiet as to not wake the patients up, the staff themselves made all the noise, in fact one end of the ward at 2am there seemed to be a Social Meeting, which was spoken in Polish by the staff,
I am not racist, but,when staff are speaking their own language in a ward I can find it quite intimidating.
Further more, it seemed like a nurse made sure she hit everything she could with trolley's etc at 3 am in the morning
One night I actually slept in the corridor as I could not sleep in the ward, a member of staff came and found me, assuring me he would do something about the problem.
In fact last night, I was so distressed with whats going on, I was in tears, again no compassion was shown to me at all, mind you I don't think the staff really noticed, they always seem to be socially talking to each other, rather than working, or respecting that patients need sleep.
I was discharged and I had asked for safe guarding, this was refused although I am a vulnerable adult. I am a trans woman and at present and for the last 4 years, have been victimised by the NHS. In fact Flaunden Ward added to this, in fact the doctor when he did realise that I did not have a doctor, was challenged, then I was discharged, they even called security while I was packing my stuff, in many ways a sign of the times.
I was discharged today, with no medical plan, I am in the same condition, if not worse now, I feel like I have left to die, rather than being safeguarded to ensure I do not suffer any longer. In fact I would go so far as to say, that in my view Watford General Hospital contravened my human rights, equality law, and I think they purposely discharged me in a poor condition.
I discovered this evening also that the doctor they used, is under review, I am going to make enquiries at GMC, as I think they might have started employing people that aren't really qualified to work within the UK

Icca Education Training and Skills Limited – the new name for Tenon Education Training and Skills Limited!
Submitted on Wed, 05/06/2013 - 2:02pm
We are pleased to announce that Tenon Education Training and Skills has changed its name to Icca Education Training and Skills on Friday 14 June 2013.
We have written to all our clients and contacts to inform them of the change.
As the leading firm of education advisory services to the further education sector we have become increasingly concerned over the confusion which exists between RSM Tenon and ourselves. The change of name is the best way to remove that confusion moving forward.
Scott Winter, Managing Director, commented, "These are exciting times for us. The name change reflects our direction of travel away from RSM Tenon. I have no doubt that the new name will make it easier for us to differentiate our services from those provided by RSM Tenon particularly with regard to added value internal audit services".

Dagmar Metzger
Dagmar Metzger (born 10 December 1958 in Berlin) is a German lawyer and politician, and a former member of the Parliament of Hesse for the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD).
She has been a member of the SPD since 1990, and was elected to the city council of Darmstadt in 1997. In the council, she headed the committee for culture and science from 2001 to 2006. Dagmar Metzer is the daughter-in-law of former Darmstadt mayor Günther Metzger.
In the Hesse state election, 2008, she was elected to the Parliament of Hesse.
She became known to a broader audience in March 2008, when she declared that she would not support Andrea Ypsilanti as Prime Minister of Hesse in the forthcoming election. Ypsilanti, chair of SPD in Hesse, intended to form a government with support of the far left[1][2] party Die Linke, the successor of the East German communist party. The SPD party had vowed before the election not to cooperate with Die Linke under any circumstances. Her father-in-law also told journalists that Dagmar Metzger's father, a social democrat from Berlin, under threat of life had opposed the forced unification of SPD and the Communist Party of Germany to form the East German communist party.
In November 2008, Andrea Ypsilanti once again tried to form a government with support of Die Linke, but Metzger and her fellow SPD MPs Silke Tesch, Jürgen Walter and Carmen Everts declared they would not support Ypsilanti as Prime Minister if she formed a government with support of Die Linke, and the election of Ypsilanti as Prime Minister was canceled. This led to the 2009 Hesse state election in which Dagmar Metzger did not stand as a candidate.

Het concept
Given the fact that, these days, fine sushi restaurants are as numerous as French fries, reaching the top of this category is no small achievement. In most cases, and as long as you're got high quality cuts of raw fish, sushi is sushi. Much depends, then, on what you do with it, and where it's done.
A stylish atmosphere makes you feel you're deep in the heart of Tokyo.
Sushi Palace offers detectable extras you'll find nowhere else in the city. Maybe it's the "palace sauce", or the chefs' artful use of cucumbers, lime or half a dozen other ingredients most establishments never bother with.
03 294 68 02
Sushi Palace has a substantial selection of sushi and sashimi.
Hardcore fans of raw fish will appreciate the very fresh sashimi selection. If, like us, you like rice and prefer sushi to sashimi, there is an extensive repertoire of nigiri and maki rolls. But the reason to order at sushi palace is for the specialty rolls, each as artfully prepared as a modernist painting.

The Spica Star
By: Ani Marenova
Distance: Spica is the 16th brightest star in the night sky. It is about 260 light- years away from earth.
Color: Spica has a blue-white color.
Size: Spica is about 7.4 times larger than the sun, so it has a radius of 5,150,400 km
Temperature: It has a temperature of 22,400 K.
~Spica is the brightest star in the constellation Virgo.
~Spica is a close binary star.
~Scientists and Researchers have done many observational studies on Spica.
~Spica is the 15th brightest star in the sky and it one of the nearest stars to our sun.
Spica is a Binary System meaning that there are up to 3 other components in this star system. They orbit around the barycenter also known as the common center of mass and it is as quick as four days. The bodies are so close we are not able to see them apart with our telescopes.
We know this because of the observations of the Doppler shift in the absorption lines.The rotation rate of both of he stars is faster than their mutual orbital period. This lack of proportion and ellipticity of their orbit shows that it is a young star system. And over time, interactions tend to lead to orbit circularization.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: "I don't consider myself a dealer or collector of ex-libris bookplates". This is swift becoming something of a disingenuous statement. In fact, I recently sold a collection of early 19th and late 18th century armorial bookplates and did very well, I have a small collection myself of items which relate to some of the figures I'm interested in from the 1890s and early 20th century and today I find myself scanning and cataloguing a catalogue of thirty ex-libris featuring male nudes and/or homoerotic elements.
I've pulled out four to share here and I think the one at the top is possibly my favourite. It's by Peter Lazarov, signed and editioned in 100 copies and takes its inspiration from Wagner's Ring Cycle in which Siegfried is warned by a little bird not to trust Mime, who is plotting to poison him. To my mind, the clarity and fluidity of the line make this a stand-out piece in the collection.
The next below is a somewhat Blakeian vision by Leo Primavesi (b.1871). He was an artist, lithographer and theatre designer, a friend of Pabst. Not a great deal is known of him but some examples of his larger works are to be found here and there on the Internet.
The third and forth images here are by Ekkehard Reuter and Jacques Rasdolsky respectively: the Reuter appears to be a plate created for the artist's own use.
If this kind of thing does interest you then the collection will be up for sale in my next Short List, out soon. You have to be on my mailing list to receive details of the Short List Catalogues when they come out so please do drop me a line to let me know if you are not already receiving notifications.

Dr Lu terrible bedside manner
First I had to wait for over an hour after my scheduled appointment time to see the doctor. Once she came into the room (no apology for the wait) it was all she could do to look up from her computer to speak to me and look me in the eye. I felt rushed and she seemed annoyed that I did not just want a prescription. I am looking elsewhere for pain management.

great experience!
I am so glad to finally have a doctor who is compassionate and does not judge me. She has been encouraging and sensitive toward me. She even used the word courageous to describe me one day. I have not been able to have a treatment yet due to some complications from surgery but I am finally ready. I will update this at a later time. Her staff is WONDERFUL too. Especially Mary. More to come...

Concerned Patient
I'm a concerned former patient; it is helpful for others who are considering this pain management practice to get as many opinions as possible. This provider, from outward appearance, seems friendly with normal intent to help control pain. The reception person is friendly and helpful when making appointments. The concern lies with the provider and inner staff. The first red flag is raised when a patient attempts to participate in their care; your opinion is not welcomed. Moreover, if your opinion is not perfectly in line with the Provider's then your in trouble; she will impose her will over yours by ignoring your concerns and proscribing what she believes is needed or "safe". An office which can be described as a passive aggressive personality. If you disagree with the safety of a medication , you are met with chastisement and verbal abuse from non-medical staff and will be ignored by the Provider. The Provider will not return your calls if you have a problem with proscribed medication. Read the Provider's response to one of the previous critical Reviewers before this review; a vicious attack upon that Reviewers character; that was not right for a Provider to do, not Professional and vicious. It is unfortunate but it is better to avoid this office.

She cancelled the appointment at the last minute
I would not recommend an appointment with Dr. Lu. I had an appointment scheduled with her office for 3 weeks, and she had her secretary call to cancel on me in the afternoon at 4:30 PM the day before the appointment. She could not re-schedule me for another appointment and had to give me an appointment with another physician in her practice. Very unprofessional. The reason for canceling the appointment was that she "had to go to the hospital for a procedure." Why would Dr. Lu have clinic days that are on the same days as procedure days?

I have had a wonderful experience with Dr. Lu. She has been very helpful with the pain treatment I have received. She listens, is pleasant, and truly cares. She has a great personality. I cannot stress enough how much Dr Lu has helped me. Her receptionist and assistants are also very friendly and personable. I recommend her highly.

Would recommend to anyone
Emmy Lu is a great doctor, very kind, polite and professional. Receptionist are kind and attentive. Always give you a call too remind you of your appointments for those that are forgetfull as myself. Very clean environment. I travel all the way from New York to see this doctor so that should tell you how good they are. I would recommend anyone with serious pain too go see this doctor.

Very unhappy!!!
She is not a caring doctor in my opinion. She had a terrible bedside manner, and judged my character before getting to know me as a patient!! I found this to be very upsetting, and NOT a good way to get a trusting and healthy doctor/patient relationship going. My calls were not returned, and I was in excruciating pain. I would definitely not recommend this person to anyone!!

Superb, Caring Pain Relief - A Blessing
I have been Dr. Lu's for almost five years now. Dr. Lu provides compassionate care and is not satisfied until she finds the medications that will provide you with the greatest relief from pain. She actively works on my care and the quality and comfort of my daily life has improved greatly. I have referred family and friends to Dr. Lu for her expert and friendly patient care. My experience has also been very positive with Dr. Lu's friendly and caring staff. Mary is fantastic!

The Enemy Within
He was a Labor powerbroker, a kingmaker with an uncanny ability to bend people to his will. At the height of his power, Eddie Obeid could make and break Premiers. Now he finds himself at the centre of explosive corruption allegations that threaten his future, his family and the party that delivered him power.
Next on Four Corners, reporter Marian Wilkinson charts Eddie Obeid's rise inside Labor's most powerful faction, the New South Wales right. How did a Lebanese immigrant move from owning an ethnic newspaper business to become the most influential politician in the State?
Talking to Labor Party insiders - including senior political figures, staffers and public servants - Wilkinson examines the allegations made against Obeid and another former Labor minister, Ian Macdonald. With forensic detail, Four Corners lays out the details and timeline of alleged corrupt behaviour, setting it against the political events of the same period. The story reveals a party and a government being destroyed from within. It also makes it plain, as one former insider explains, that with Eddie Obeid flexing his power, the process of governing the State could be subverted for the benefit of a few.
"I formed the view when I left, that the Government was no longer acting in the public interest, it was acting in private interests, and if the public interest got a look-in it was purely by coincidence."
"The Enemy Within", reported by Marian Wilkinson and presented by Kerry O'Brien, goes to air on Monday 11th March at 8.30pm on ABC1. It is replayed on Tuesday 12th March at 11.35pm. It can also be seen on ABC News 24 on Saturday at 8.00pm, on ABC iview and at abc.net.au/4corners.

text: Javelin Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NYSE Amex: JAV - News) today announced that a reexamination conducted by a third party of pain score measurements from its Phase III study of Ereska™ (intranasal ketamine) showed that top line results for its primary endpoint were statistically significant. Previously, Javelin had reported that the top line results for its primary endpoint were not statistically significant. The previously disclosed top line results, based upon data captured by an external vendor, had inconsistencies whose presence was verified by a third party biostatistics company engaged by Javelin that thoroughly reexamined the trial's conduct and the initial primary analysis. The third party's correction of these inaccuracies yielded today's results. As previously disclosed, global patient satisfaction scores for Ereska were also statistically superior to placebo. All other secondary endpoints, while numerically superior to placebo, did not achieve statistical significance. Ereska, a nonopioid analgesic, was generally well tolerated in the trial. The Company plans to meet with the FDA to review the trial's results and discuss Ereska's registration program. This randomized, multicenter, double-blind, 1:1 placebo-controlled study assessed the safety and analgesic efficacy of repeated doses of Ereska over 6 hours in 259 patients with acute moderate to severe pain following orthopedic surgery. The predefined primary outcome measure was the summary of pain intensity differences over a 6 hour period after initial drug dosing (SPID-6). The results for SPID-6 (means plus or minus standard errors), as determined by the third party biostatistics firm, were 78.5 ± 12.4 for the Ereska group and 47.3 ± 12.3 for the placebo group, yielding a P-value of 0.046. (The standard for statistical significance in pivotal clinical trials is a P-value of 0.05 or less.) The initially announced results released in August 2009, which the Company stated at that time would be thoroughly reexamined and could change, showed SPID-6 values of 78.2 ± 12 for Ereska and 47.9 ± 12.3 for placebo, yielding a P-value of 0.053.

Meyer Sound on The Pulse
Published: ASIA
HONG KONG: With seven restaurants throughout Hong Kong each designed to provide a unique dining experience, Le Comptoir Group has had Meyer Sound self-powered loudspeaker systems installed in its three venues in The Pulse, a six-storey, 15,500 sq-m shopping mall in Repulse Bay. International Sound + Light (ISL) installed the systems that were designed by its system designer Scott McLean and supplied by the manufacturer's Hong Kong-based dealer, Audio Dynamic, at TRi, Hotshot and The Ocean.
TRi is a contemporary Balinese restaurant. 'When we saw that the designer proposed a theme with both dark and natural shades of bamboo, we realized we could match the bamboo tones by sending the RAL colours to Meyer Sound for an exact match on the MM-4XPs,' explained Mr McLean.
The system design called for 24 custom-coloured Meyer Sound MM-4XP loudspeakers alongside six MM-10ACX subwoofers. Balanced audio signal and remote DC power is carried to the loudspeakers from a signal distribution box and remote power supply respectively via a five-conductor cable. 'People are baffled by how much sound can come out of tiny boxes they can hardly see,' added the system designer. 'It worked out brilliantly.'
The American-style restaurant, Hotshot, saw Mr McLean specify two UPJunior VariO and three UPM-1P ultra-compact loudspeakers as well as an MM-4XP. Accompanying these are single UMS-1P and USW-1P subwoofers, while a Galileo 408 processor manages the system.
Serving sushi and seafood, the marine-themed restaurant, The Ocean, is located on the third floor of The Pulse. The solution installed by the ISL team comprises 32 Stella-8C and four Stella-4 installation speakers, which have been mounted in the ceiling.
'I've been working with Meyer Sound systems and Audio Dynamic for a number of years, and I've always been pleased with the results,' concluded Mr McLean. 'Management is extremely happy not only with the sound in the restaurants, but also with how the loudspeakers blend into the décor.'

Longford Prize
Longford Prize Winner: The Forgiveness Project
27th November 2014
In their citation, the judges wrote: "Having highly commended the Forgiveness Project in 2007, the judges this year award it the Longford Prize to salute the development of its work, especially its innovative and challenging Restore offender intervention programme. This is having a real and proven impact on changing how those prisoners who take part in jails around the country think about themselves and their crime. The Forgiveness Project, now in its tenth year, lives out in a practical, effective way the core belief of Lord Longford in every individual's potential for rehabilitation. It is making a significant contribution to reducing reoffending as well as having a wider impact in creating a more positive commitment in our criminal justice system to restorative justice".
Marina Cantacuzino, founder of the Forgiveness Project, received the prize on stage at the 2014 Longford Lecture from Jon Snow, Nils Oberg and Mary Riddell.
The judges also Highly Commended two other nominations. The first was Mona Morrison. In their citation, they wrote: "Mona Morrison, the judges believe, is a remarkable and courageous individual who is saving lives through her work with gangs, and especially around the often hidden issue of the sexual exploitation of young people – sometimes children – involved in gangs. Drawing on her own lifetime experiences, Mona has been able, as part of the St Giles Trust, to establish relationships of trust with vulnerable and traumatised youngsters, who might otherwise be beyond the reach of official agencies, and to transform their lives."
The second was Product of Prison. The judges wrote: "For the first time the judges are making an award to an overseas organisation because they are keen to draw attention to the extraordinary rehabilitation work of this small Dutch NGO with prisoners in Uganda. It is brave, practical and innovative, operating in circumstances unimaginable in the UK. It creates new futures for individuals whose lives are often torn apart by hostility and rejection once they are released from jails."
The judges made a Lifetime Achievement Award to the New Horizon Youth Centre. They wrote in their citation: "Usually reserved for an individual, this year the judges recognize the achievements and on-going work of the New Horizon Youth Centre in north London, founded by Lord Longford in 1968. Over five decades, this drop-in day centre has maintained an unwavering focus on needy, homeless, alienated and desperate young people. They can count on it, when they can count on no-one else. Its doors are always open, its welcome is always warm, and its programmes continue to evolve to answer every new challenge, including its current highly successful Creating Positive Futures project".

Homily for 11/27/11 - P25 - healing the sick soul
Expand Messages
- Luke 8:41-56
The parable of the good Samaritan is given to us as the answer to a
question. One of the scribes asked Jesus, "What must I do to gain
eternal life" and then when Jesus told him to keep the commandments to
love God and love his neighbor, the scribe, seeking to justify himself
(for he was stricken by his conscience that he had done neither of these
fully) asked, "Who is my neighbor?" In response to this question, our
Lord gave us this parable to demonstrate what it is that truly defines a
neighbor and more than that what it is that truly unites people to one
Before we think about what it is that unites us, let us consider what it
is that divides us. Just as physician must learn about the disease
process before he can learn how to cure the disease, so before we
attempt to restore the unity with God and one another, it would be
helpful to find out what it is that separates us. When God created the
world and all that is in it - including mankind - all things were in
complete harmony with one another. Even today we see the remnants of
that original harmony. Astronomy and physics reveal the intricate dance
of the smallest and largest particles of the universe and how even the
smallest and furthest subatomic particle is connected to the largest and
nearest star. All things that have mass also exert a gravitational pull
and even the weakest gravitation field is considered in the balance of
the entire universe. Closer to home, when we study ecology, we are
looking at the inter-relationships of the vast spectrum of life and how
each microbe and each cell has a role to play in maintaining the
viability of life on this planet. Biologists study the intricate inner
workings of living things - how within the body there is a wonderful
diversity of cells and structures and yet each is knit together in a
single body. But within these wonderful and beautiful examples of unity
there are forces which intrude and create dissonance and which bring
destruction and death. These forces break apart the unity and sew the
seeds of discord and death. This destructive force comes when something
pushes the harmony of creation out of balance by emphasizing its own
strength and type at the expense of the diversity around it. In the
body, when there is disease, that disease is the result of the action of
a bacteria or virus that attacks the cells of the body destroying them
that the disease might itself take root and grow. In modern medicine,
one of the most prevalent but least controlled processes of this sort is
cancer. The cancerous cells grow rapidly and aggressively pushing other
cells out of the way and seeking to make all the cells cancerous. In
ecology, the destructive force is often exemplified by the effects of
man on nature - destroying the balance of nature in order to meet his
own needs with no regard for the place and needs of other creatures in
the ecological balance. Even in the far reaches of the universe there
are disruptive forces that reach out and consume everything around them
such as black holes from which not even light can escape.
All this destruction comes about because one element in the natural
balance sets itself above everything else and puts its own needs and
wants and its own existence above everything else. In the soul, this
same disruption can be seen and it is called sin. It is sin that
separates us from God and from one another. It is sin that destroys the
unity and perfect spiritual balance that existed in Paradise before the
fall. The root of all sin is pride, that is the inflated self regard
with which a man considers himself more important than anything else in
the universe, including God. When a person places themselves at the
center of all things rather than God, then the whole balance of the soul
is damaged. First this pride breaks the unity that we have with God and
then it breaks the unity that we have with one another. All of the sins
are born out of this original sin of pride. It is therefore sin that
destroys the harmony of creation, it breaks the unity of man with God
and distorts the unity of man with his fellow man. Sin is the cause of
the spiritual disease and disorder of the soul. In order to restore the
soul to health, in order to restore the unity of God and man and the
unity of mankind, we must find a way to overcome sin and its effects.
In the parable of the Good Samaritan we see first a man robbed, beaten
and left for dead. Three men pass - the first two are related to the
beaten man by blood - being Jews. St Nikolai of Ochrid speaks of these
two Jews, a priest and a Levite, as representing the law and the
prophets. Indeed the law cannot heal it only diagnoses the illness. Nor
do the prophets heal, they can only warn us away from a dangerous path.
And then the Samaritan comes along. He is not related by birth, not in
the same social class, not part of the same tribe, and yet it is the
Samaritan who shows himself to be the neighbor, to be the one bound
closely to the injured one for he shows something not found in the law
and the prophets, something more powerful, that can heal and restore the
soul. That power manifested by the Samaritan is compassion. The
beginning of healing sin is compassion. Compassion is born out of love -
love of God and love of others and so we end up back at the beginning of
the Gospel. What must one do to gain eternal life, in other words what
must one do to restore the unity of himself with God? He must first love
God and second that love of God must be expressed by the love of others.
The Holy Apostle Paul expresses similar words of how the healing love
that restores the unity of God and man is expressed. "Humility,
gentleness, longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, working to
keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace." (Eph 4:2&3) Not only
is that healing and unifying love expressed in compassion, but it also
expressed in these qualities of humility, gentleness, patience – which
are also among the fruits of the Holy Spirit working in us. Just as
pride is the father of all sins – so humility is the mother of all
virtue. Wherever you find pride in your life, counter it with humility.
When you find that you build yourself up, then it is the time and place
to bow yourself down. The natural inclination of the fallen man is to
set himself above all others, to be proud and so in order to counteract
this pride, we must choose to set aside our pride and we must choose,
with the grace of God, to act in a humble manner. Humility sets others
before self, seeing others as more important than oneself; humility sets
aside personal credit giving glory and honor only to God; humility does
not insist on its own way and its own self, but instead it freely gives
of itself for the benefit and welfare of others.
If the core of this disease is sin, then it is obvious that sin itself
needs to be removed. When we approach God and seek to be united with
Him, we confess our sins, we repent of them, we turn our back on them.
And in return we receive from God forgiveness. Forgiveness wipes away
sin, it removes sin's power. In order to eliminate the root cause of
sin, we must counteract it with repentance. By repentance, we seek
forgiveness from God for we know that we have sinned against Him, and He
freely grants us His forgiveness. However it is not against God alone
that we sin - but out of our pride and self importance we sin against
each other as well. And so once we have repented of our sins before God
and asked His repentance so also we must then turn to one another and
ask forgiveness. If we would overcome strife and division and disharmony
between ourselves – even within the confines of the Church, then we must
first seek forgiveness from and in turn forgive one another. Our Lord
said to His disciples, "freely you have received, freely give" and this
applies to forgiveness. God has freely granted to us forgiveness – now
we too must forgive one another. Forgiveness is a choice, it is an act
of the will. You don't have to wait until you "feel" forgiveness in
order to make the choice to forgive. You can forgive right away, at the
very moment of the insult. You can offer forgiveness even before the
other person has a chance to repent – in fact you can forgive them even
if they never repent. Forgiveness is in your power, you choose to
forgive or not to forgive. God has forgiven you, even before you know of
your own sins – in the same way, you can forgive others. Only by
forgiveness is sin overcome. Only by forgiveness is the strife and
separation that plague us in this world overcome. Only by forgiveness
can we ever hope to restore our communion with God and with one another.
Sin separates us from God – but forgiveness destroys sin. The
consequences of sin are then overcome by humility, compassion,
gentleness, patience, meekness, and most importantly by love of God and
love of others. We see around us a world torn apart by sin, a world
ravaged by pride and revenge and selfishness. We even see our Church
attacked by these same destructive forces. Only by forgiveness can this
sin be overcome and done away with. Only by love , humility and
compassion can the ravages of this sin be healed. Let us then love one
another, let us have compassion on one another, let us forgive one
another - for by these things the separation of sin is overcome and our
unity with God and one another is restored.
