OEM Part Number: 2U7A-12A650-DBC / EEC-V | 3.0L
Looking for a plug and play replacement 2U7A-12A650-DBC ECU?
Want to avoid costly dealer programming fees and locksmiths?
We can help!
This tested replacement engine control unit (ECU) is available with our programming service.
To receive a plug and play replacement ECU that requires no additional programming, we will need your original unit to transfer the data to the replacement.
This process will allow you to start your vehicle with your current set of keys and transfer your VIN to a replacement unit – without needing to hire a locksmith or pay for dealer programming.
How it works:
- Simply purchase the replacement ECU by clicking the Buy Now button above.
- When packaging your original ECU – include your name and order number provided in the order confirmation email.
- Using any shipping service – ship us your original ECU. Address will be provided via email after checkout.
✓ That's it, you're done!
Once we receive your ECU, we will the transfer the data from your original to the replacement you've ordered, typically with 24 to 48 hours.
A tracking number will be emailed to your inbox as soon as the replacement has been shipped.
Re-install and you're ready to go, no programming or calibration needed.
The entire process from start to finish typically takes 5 to 7 business days including transit times. (From your door to ours, back to yours.)
Our tested, OEM pre-owned units include a hassle free 2-year warranty.
Part number received may differ slightly depending on the unit, but it will be compatible.
In most cases we will be able to extract your data regardless of water or flood damage, physical damage, etc.
Since we would be transferring your data from the original unit to the replacement, we do not require your VIN or keys.
Please ensure the unit you send us did at one point start the vehicle. It's okay if the unit failed and no longer starts the vehicle – as long as it did start prior to failure.
We do not include a shipping label for your original unit, you will have to pay to ship the unit to us. USPS Priority Mail via Flat Rate Box or Envelope would be the quickest and most cost-effective way.
Part numbers are important, be sure to order a replacement that matches your original part number.
Supplies may be limited.
"Why do I need programming?"
In many modern vehicles, components are equipped with a theft deterrent called an immobilizer system. Things like the keys, ignition lock modules and computers are all synced together within the system. If the programming of a component within the immobilizer system doesn't match the other components of the system – the immobilizer system will not allow your vehicle to start.
If you replace an ECU without programming the unit first, the vehicle will fail to start – that's where we come in!
By taking the original data from your old ECU and transferring it to our replacement ECU– you will not have to worry about programming your computer using local dealers or locksmiths since we handle the programming for you – saving you 100's sometimes 1000's of dollars.
Ready to program units: If you're a locksmith, dealer or mechanic and do not require our included key programming service – we do have ready to program versions available. Just include a note during checking asking for a "ready to program" unit and include the VIN you want programmed. This unit will be programmed to your VIN and key ready, enabled to be programmed to any key – provided you have the tools to do so.
Note: Ready to program units will require tools for programming, this is not a self-programming unit. (Delivery may take up to 7 business days)

- Rough idle

Frequently Asked Questions (General FAQs)
1. Do you ship worldwide?
Yes, we do ship internationally to the USA, Europe, Asia, Middle East, and more. We offer international shipping across the world to most countries.
For international orders, it's most likely going to be shipped out with the economy (5-10 days) or no rush (10-30 business days) method.
Keep in mind that we don't ship orders to Cuba, Iran, Iraq, and North Korea. We ship internationally to mostly all other countries. Please confirm and contact us if you have any questions/ concerns.
2. When will my order ship?
Our made to order products require around 2-7 business days to print and manufacture before shipping. Products will ship from the manufacturing facilities located nearest to your shipping address. More than 50% of our orders are shipped within 3 business days or less. We do offer gift wrapping services from time to time occasionally and it may take longer than average but your product will be carefully repackaged and inspected by us before shipping to you. Although, it may take a bit longer than normal, you will benefit from the higher quality product control and enjoy our premium packaging.
3. Where are some of our European fulfillment centers located?
One of our European fulfillment centers is located in Riga, Latvia. Our production facility is located in a factory building close to the city center, in a neighborhood with a rich manufacturing history in Europe.
4. Why is my shipping label in euros?
We normally print shipping labels in USD. But for orders fulfilled in Europe, we print the value in euros so it's easier to go through customs checkpoints and mail sorting centers within Europe. Packing slips are still in USD, as that's the only currency we operate with. We are planning on printing packing slips in whichever currency customers use, but that won't be implemented for a while.
5. Does FedEx ship to PO Boxes?
They don't ship to US based PO Boxes, but will ship to some international PO Boxes. We will not refund a FedEx shipping rate if a US based PO box is entered.
6. Why is my product out of stock?
The biggest pro of our made to order services is our ability to offer dozens of unique models and color options for your products. To be able to offer so many variants, we don't maintain stock of all product variants, but restock the less popular items on demand (this usually takes just a few days and is calculated in our fulfillment time). However, sometimes you might encounter a situation when your product is out of stock at our suppliers for a longer period of time. Usually, it's because:
- the manufacturer has low quantities of the product,
- they're located further from us,
- the item has suddenly been discontinued.
7. Where can European locations orders ship to?
Multiple factors affect whether an order can be fulfilled and shipped from our Europe location. Those include product type availability, stock availability, and shipping address. Order routing happens automatically so the branch that's the best fit will fulfill an order. We don't guarantee all orders shipping to a specific country will always ship from our Europe location.
Our Europe location may fulfill orders being shipped to the following countries:
Europe: Albania, Andorra, Austria, Belarus, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Faroe Islands, Finland, France, Germany, Gibraltar, Greece, Guernsey, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Jersey, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Macedonia, Malta, Moldova, Monaco, Montenegro, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russian Federation, San Marino, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Svalbard and Jan Mayen, Sweden, Switzerland, Ukraine, United Kingdom, Vatican City.*

8. What if the order is lost in the mail?
For packages lost in transit, all claims must be submitted no later than 4 weeks after the estimated delivery date.
It would also be good to double check that you got in touch with their local post office to try locating the lost order.
Keep in mind that if tracking information states an order was "delivered" but you haven't received it, we won't take responsibility and reship that order. In that case, any replacements for all the product costs, taxes, shipping costs..etc. would have to be at your expense.
9. How can I check the status of an order?
You will receive a tracking number via your email address once we received your full payment and we shipped out your order. You can track the status of the shipment via the tracking number via email.
10. How do you package frames?
Frames are first wrapped in tissue paper to protect them from scratches and are then wrapped in a layer of adhesive bubble wrap. Finally, they are wrapped in a thicker, more durable bubble wrap that will add extra protection during shipment.
11. How are your products packaged for shipment?
Because of the variety of products we fulfill, we package each item based on dimension requirements to ensure protection during shipment. Generally, posters are shipped in kraft tube boxes with plastic end caps. Frames and canvases are usually shipped in corrugated boxes, ranging in dimensions of 26x20x18 to 28x5.5x38.

12. What if the recipient's address was wrong?
If the recipient's address was wrong, then you are held responsible. Usually, the package is sent back to the return address. However, the packages are sometimes not returned to the sender. In this case, you would have to process a new order to replace the original.
13. Are the packaging materials recyclable?
The poly bags that are used in most of our packaging are mostly recyclable, biodegradable, virgin polyethylene film, FDA and USDA compliant.
14. How long does it take for my order to be processed?
From the time your order is placed and the date when you receive it, there are two processes to consider.
Fulfillment: Standard fulfillment time is around 2-7 business days. Once your order has been fulfilled and left our building you will receive a notification with shipping information if applicable.

For orders shipped from our Europe location to a European destination, the average delivery time is 5-10 business days after fulfillment. The average delivery time for orders shipped from our Europe location to non-EU regions is 10-30 business days.
Keep in mind that on average orders shipped to EU destinations can be delivered even faster!
16. Who pays the customs duties & taxes?
Shipments outside of the USA may incur customs fees depending on the destination country. The fee may vary depending on your order value, country limits, and other factors based on the product itself. Our end customer is responsible for these fees. Any fees are paid to appropriate customs agency by the end customer.
Customs agencies often calculate duties/fees based on the declared retail price.

I have been seeing Alton Brown's edamame dip popping up around the food blogging sphere and it always looks good. The recipe looks like an Asian take on a hummus or a bean dip only it uses edamame beans. One of the first things that I noticed about this recipe was the inclusion of the miso paste. Miso is a salty Japanese fermented bean paste that I have come to really enjoy over the last few years and I am always looking for new ways to use it. The edamame dip was super easy to make; you just quickly cook the edamame and then puree everything if a food processor. I did make one slight change to the recipe in that I used some of the water that was used to cook the edamame instead of the oil that the original recipe called for. The edamame beans made for a really nice dip! I liked the way that miso worked in the dip adding a nice salty element and the cilantro added a nice freshness and brightness to the dip. One element that stood out in the dip was the nice touch of heat added by the chili sauce. I enjoyed eating this vibrantly green dip with some whole wheat pitas. You could also use this 'dip' and a condiment in a sandwich and it would also probably work well as a pesto on pasta.
Edamame Dip
- 1 cup edamame
- 1/4 cup onion
- 1/2 cup cilantro
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 lime (juice)
- 1 tablespoon miso
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon chili sauce
- Cover the edamame in water and bring to a boil for 5 minutes.
- Drain the edamame reserving the water.
- Mix everything in a food processor adding some of the reserved water to thin the dip to the desired consistency.

When selecting and installing a geothermal heat pump, consider the heating and cooling efficiency, the economics of the system, and your site's characteristics. Be sure to find a qualified installer.
The heating efficiency of ground-source and water-source heat pumps is indicated by their coefficient of performance (COP), which is the ratio of heat provided in Btu per Btu of energy input. Their cooling efficiency is indicated by the Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER), which is the ratio of the heat removed (in Btu per hour) to the electricity required (in watts) to run the unit.
Look for the ENERGY STAR® label, which indicates that the unit meets ENERGY STAR criteria. Manufacturers of high-efficiency geothermal heat pumps (GHPs) voluntarily use the EPA ENERGY STAR label on qualifying equipment and related product literature. Many GHPs carry the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ENERGY STAR label.
Although the purchase and installation cost of a residential GHP system is often higher than that of other heating and cooling systems, properly sized and installed GHPs deliver more energy per unit consumed than conventional systems. For further savings, GHPs equipped with a device called a "desuperheater" can heat household water. In the summer cooling period, the heat that is taken from the house is used to heat the water for free. In the winter, water heating costs are reduced by about half.
Depending on factors such as climate, soil conditions, the system features you choose, you may recoup your initial investment in two to ten years through lower utility bills. And -- when included in a mortgage -- your investment in a GHP will produce a positive cash flow from the beginning. For example, if the extra $3,500 cost of the GHP will add $30 per month to each mortgage payment, the energy cost savings will easily exceed that added mortgage amount over the course of each year.
On a retrofit, the GHP's high efficiency typically means much lower utility bills, allowing the investment to be recouped in two to ten years. It may also be possible to include the purchase of a GHP system in an "energy-efficient mortgage" that would cover this and other energy-saving improvements to the home. Banks and mortgage companies can provide more information on these loans.
There may be special provisions or incentives available from federal, state, and local governments; power providers; and banks or mortgage companies that offer mortgage loans for energy-saving home improvements. Be sure the system you're interested in qualifies for available incentives before you make your final purchase.
Shallow ground temperatures are relatively constant throughout the United States, so geothermal heat pumps (GHPs) can be effectively used almost anywhere. However, the specific geological, hydrological, and spatial characteristics of your land will help your local system supplier/installer determine the best type of ground loop for your site.
Factors such as the composition and properties of your soil and rock (which can affect heat transfer rates) require consideration when designing a ground loop. For example, soil with good heat transfer properties requires less piping to gather a certain amount of heat than soil with poor heat transfer properties. The amount of soil available contributes to system design as well -- system suppliers in areas with extensive hard rock or soil too shallow to trench may install vertical ground loops instead of horizontal loops.
Ground or surface water availability also plays a part in deciding what type of ground loop to use. Depending on factors such as depth, volume, and water quality, bodies of surface water can be used as a source of water for an open-loop system, or as a repository for coils of piping in a closed-loop system. Ground water can also be used as a source for open-loop systems, provided the water quality is suitable and all ground water discharge regulations are met.
Before you purchase an open-loop system, be sure your system supplier/installer has fully investigated your site's hydrology, so you can avoid potential problems such as aquifer depletion and groundwater contamination. Antifreeze fluids circulated through closed-loop systems generally pose little to no environmental hazard.
Land Availability
The amount and layout of your land, your landscaping, and the location of underground utilities or sprinkler systems also contribute to your system design. Horizontal ground loops (generally the most economical) are typically used for newly constructed buildings with sufficient land. Vertical installations or more compact horizontal "Slinky™" installations are often used for existing buildings because they minimize the disturbance to the landscape.
Specialized technical knowledge and equipment is needed to properly install the piping, so a GHP system installation is not a do-it-yourself project. To find a qualified installer, contact your local utility company, the International Ground Source Heat Pump Association, or the Geothermal Heat Pump Consortium for their listings of qualified installers in your area. Installers should be certified and experienced. Ask for references from owners of systems that are several years old, and check them.
The ground heat exchanger in a GHP system is made up of a closed or open loop pipe system. Most common is the closed loop, in which high density polyethylene pipe is buried horizontally at 4 to 6 feet deep or vertically at 100 to 400 feet deep. These pipes are filled with an environmentally friendly antifreeze/water solution that acts as a heat exchanger. In the winter, the fluid in the pipes extracts heat from the earth and carries it into the building. In the summer, the system reverses and takes heat from the building and deposits it to the cooler ground.
The air delivery ductwork distributes the heated or cooled air through the house's ductwork, just like conventional systems. The box that contains the indoor coil and fan is sometimes called the air handler because it moves house air through the heat pump for heating or cooling. The air handler contains a large blower and a filter just like conventional air conditioners.
Most geothermal heat pumps are automatically covered under your homeowner's insurance policy. Contact your insurance provider to make sure. Even if your provider will cover your system, it is best to inform them in writing that you own a new system.
The biggest benefit of GHPs is that they use 25% to 50% less electricity than conventional heating or cooling systems. This translates into a GHP using one unit of electricity to move three units of heat from the earth. According to the EPA, geothermal heat pumps can reduce energy consumption -- and corresponding emissions -- up to 44% compared with air-source heat pumps and up to 72% compared with electric resistance heating with standard air-conditioning equipment. GHPs also improve humidity control by maintaining about 50% relative indoor humidity, making GHPs very effective in humid areas.
Geothermal heat pump systems allow for design flexibility and can be installed in both new and retrofit situations. Because the hardware requires less space than that needed by a conventional HVAC system, the equipment rooms can be greatly scaled down, freeing space for productive uses. GHP systems also provide excellent "zone" space conditioning, allowing different parts of your home to be heated or cooled to different temperatures.
GHP systems have relatively few moving parts and those parts are sheltered inside a building, so the systems are durable and highly reliable. The underground piping often carries warranties of 25 to 50 years, and the heat pumps often last 20 years or more. They usually have no outdoor compressors, so GHPs are not susceptible to vandalism. In addition, the components in the living space are easily accessible, which increases the convenience factor and helps ensure that the upkeep is done on a timely basis.
GHPs have no outside condensing units like air conditioners, so there's no concern about noise outside the home. A two-speed GHP system is so quiet inside a house that users usually do not know it is operating.

Vernon Hills Athletes Improve with Chiropractic Care
Athletes are always looking for an edge to take their performances to another level. No matter what sport you play, the competition is always getting bigger, faster and stronger which means you have to continually improve in order to keep up. Some athletes turn to dishonest methods like performance enhancing drugs to get ahead, but most look to nutrition, enhanced training concepts and similar methods to get better. One way athletes can improve is through chiropractic care at our Vernon Hills chiropractic clinic.
Enhanced Injury Treatment
Injuries are an unfortunate part of all sports, and recovering from injuries quickly and completely is critical. Chiropractic care helps athletes recover from injuries the same way it can help an auto accident victim recover from injuries. Spinal adjustments can align your vertebrae so your tendons and muscles heal correctly. If you're experiencing pain from a past injury, chiropractic care can get to the root of the injury and correct the problem so your symptoms lessen or disappear.
Improved Performance
Vernon Hills athletes can also expect improved overall performance with regular chiropractic care. High-impact athletes can minimize their risk of injury and reduce pain, and low-impact athletes can relieve much of the strain placed on the body while playing their sport. This is true for sports like golf, bowling, and tennis.
With improved strength, balance, stability, flexibility and range of motion, it stands to reason that athletes will notice improved performance with regular chiropractic treatment. For athletes that play through longer seasons or play year-round, the improvement will be noticed as competitors start feeling fatigued and suffering minor injuries. The ability to "stay fresh" from the beginning of the season until the end provides a tremendous advantage to most athletes.
How Chiropractic Helps
Whether it's to enhance performance or help heal an injury, chiropractic helps Vernon Hills athletes by taking pressure off nerves in the spinal column. When your spinal vertebrae are misaligned, the impulses sent from your brain to parts of your body through your spine may not be as clear as they should be. When these impulses are restricted, your body is not operating at full capacity, and your athletic performance can suffer. If you are truly looking for an edge and want to take your performance to the next level, try chiropractic treatment and see if it helps. Once the pathways between your brain and muscles, heart and lungs are clear, you'll be amazed at what you can do.

Cancer is everywhere.
And, before long, cancer will be a major cause of death in every part of the world, not just a big factor in what's now the developed world.
In 2030 the world's population is expected to hit 8.3 billion, up from 7 billion today. By then, new cases of cancer cases are expected to nearly double to 20.3 million from 12.8 million in 2008, according to an analysis in The Lancet Oncology.
Right now, the wealthiest parts of the globe, including the U.S., Canada and Western Europe, have the biggest cancer problem — about 38 percent of the cases in just 15 percent of the global population. The biggest cancer targets in rich places: lungs, breasts, colons and prostates.
Cancer isn't unknown in poorer countries, but the picture is different there. Cancers associated with infections, such as those of the cervix, stomach and liver, are much more prominent.
Though, it must be said, lung cancer is pretty much a scourge everywhere. The bright spot is that it has leveled off or dropped in some groups recently, such as American men.
What does the future look like? By 2030, cancers will have gone up a lot everywhere, but the countries grouped in the populous middle of the development pack, such as China and India, will see the biggest changes.
As these countries develop, the types of cancer seen will change. And likely increases in cancers related to lifestyle factors, such as obesity and smoking, could overshadow expected declines in cancers related to infections.
But the researchers say the forecast doesn't have to become reality. Cancers could be prevented through reductions in smoking and reductions in obesity. Vaccination against hepatitis B and human papillomavirus would also make a dent. Finally, better screening and treatment for cervical, breast and colorectal cancer would make a difference.

Pantheism is the view that everything is part of an all-encompassing immanent abstract God; or that the universe, or nature, and God are equivalent.

- Ought not men of intelligence, and indeed men of every kind, to be stirred up to examine the nature of this opinion? For there is no need of excellent capacity for this task, that putting away the desire of contention, they may observe that if God is the soul of the world, and the world is as a body to Him, who is the soul, He must be one living being consisting of soul and body, and that this same God is a kind of womb of nature containing all things in Himself, so that the lives and souls of all living things are taken, according to the manner of each one's birth, out of His soul which vivifies that whole mass, and therefore nothing at all remains which is not a part of God. And if this is so, who cannot see what impious and irreligious consequences follow, such as that whatever one may trample, he must trample a part of God, and in slaying any living creature, a part of God must be slaughtered? But I am unwilling to utter all that may occur to those who think of it, yet cannot be spoken without irreverence.
- St. Augustine, City of God (426), Book 4, Chapter 12
- Concerning the rational animal himself,—that is, man,—what more unhappy belief can be entertained than that a part of God is whipped when a boy is whipped? And who, unless he is quite mad, could bear the thought that parts of God can become lascivious, iniquitous, impious, and altogether damnable? In brief, why is God angry at those who do not worship Him, since these offenders are parts of Himself?
- St. Augustine, City of God (426), Book 4, Chapter 13
- Pantheism is sexed up atheism. Deism is watered-down theism.
- Richard Dawkins, The God Delusion (2006), "A deeply religious non-believer", p. 40
- Scientific research can reduce superstition by encouraging people to think and view things in terms of cause and effect. Certain it is that a conviction, akin to religious feeling, of the rationality and intelligibility of the world lies behind all scientific work of a higher order. [...] This firm belief, a belief bound up with a deep feeling, in a superior mind that reveals itself in the world of experience, represents my conception of God. In common parlance this may be described as "pantheistic" (Spinoza).
- Albert Einstein, in Japanese Magazine Kaizō (1923), sourced from Einstein, Albert (2010). Ideas And Opinions. New York: Three Rivers Press, p. 262.
- A human being is a part of the whole, called by us "Universe,' a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest — a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole nature in its beauty.

- To me, nature is sacred. Trees are my temples and forests are my cathedrals.
- Theists believe that God and the Universe are at least in part separate and distinct beings. For pantheists there is only one all-embracing Reality: the Universe. [...] [T]he unity of the universe and nature is not just a feeling or an abstract belief: it has a solid basis in science. [...] Every single particle, every star, every being in the universe is linked by the force of gravity. A quasar on the edge of the observable universe has some effect, however small, on each of our bodies. The whole universe is a tightly woven mesh of electromagnetic radiation. Everything emits photons of energy which race in all directions. Everything is made of the same sub-atomic constituents, held together by the same forces. And everything transmutes into everything else.
- Paul Harrison, Elements of Pantheism, 3rd edition (2013), p. 45-46.
- God thus excludes the world; he is only its cause; in no sense is he effect, of himself or anything else. Pantheism (better, "pandeism," for again it is not really the theos that is described) means that God is the integral totality of ordinary cause-effects, and that there, is no super-cause independent of ordinary causes and effects.
- Charles Hartshorne, Man's Vision of God and the Logic of Theism (1964), p. 347
- Many persons have thought that this Pan [ Pandeism ] related to what has been called Pantheism, or the adoration of universal nature, and that Pantheism was the first system of man. For this opinion I cannot see a shadow of foundation. As I have formerly said, it seems to me contrary to common sense to believe that the ignorant half savage would first worship the ground he treads upon,--that he would raise his mind to so abstruse and so improbable a doctrine as, that the earth he treads upon created him and created itself: for Pantheism instantly comes to this
- Godfrey Higgins, the Anacalypsis (1833), p. 443
- There is probably no argument by which the case for theism, or for, deism, or for pantheism in either its pancosmic or acosmic form, can be convincingly proved.
- Aldous Huxley, The Perennial Philosophy, page 14, (1945)
- It is I who am the light which is above them All. It is I who am the All. From me did the All come forth, and unto me did the All extend. Split a piece of wood, and I am there. Lift up the stone, and you will find me there.
- Jesus, as quoted in the Gospel of Thomas (c. 50? — c. 140?) attributed to Thomas the Apostle, verse 77
- In the context of natural theology there is reason to believe that pantheism may fare well if compared with theism. This may be part of the reason why it has been the classic religious alternative to theism.
- Michael P. Levine, Pantheism: A Non-Theistic Concept of Deity p. 349
- Many people profess pantheistic beliefs — though somewhat obscurely. Pantheism remains a much neglected topic of inquiry. Given their prevalence, non-theistic notions of deity have not received the kind of careful philosophical attention they deserve. Certainly the central claims of pantheism are prima facie no more "fantastic" than the central claims of theism — and probably a great deal less so.
- The last people in the world in whom the personality would consent to be absorbed into pantheism is the French.
- Jules Michelet, Introduction à l'histoire universelle (Paris: Hachette, 1879), p. 136
- You must go to Mahometanism, to Buddhism, to the East, to the Sufis & Fakirs, to Pantheism, for the right growth of mysticism.
- Florence Nightingale, in a letter of 2 March 1853, quoted in Suggestions for Thought : Selections and Commentaries (1994), edited by Michael D. Calabria and Janet A. MacRae, p. xiii
- A religion old or new, that stressed the magnificence of the universe as revealed by modern science, might be able to draw forth reserves of reverence and awe hardly tapped by the conventional faiths. Sooner or later, such a religion will emerge.
- Carl Sagan, Pale Blue Dot (1994) p. 77
- Pantheism teaches that every thing is intrinsically good and pure ; all originally one with divinity, and that every appearance of wrong or guilt exists but in idea, or depends on the conventional idea entertained of it. Hence its dangerous influence on the moral life and character; for by whatever subtlety of language the meaning may be disguised, and however men may cling to a belief in the all-regulating power of conscience, yet, if this destructive principle be admitted as a ruling fact, the conduct of individuals will be considered as of slight importance, and the eternal distinction between right and wrong, good and evil, set aside, and finally rejected.
- Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel The Aesthetic and Miscellaneous works 1860 tr p. 469
- On the whole, one might be surprised that even in the seventeenth century pantheism did not gain a complete victory over theism; for the most original, finest, and most thorough European expositions of it (none of them, of course, will bear comparison with the Upanishads of the Vedas) all came to light at that period, namely through Bruno, Malebranche, Spinoza, and Scotus Erigena. After Scotus Erigena had been lost and forgotten for many centuries, he was again discovered at Oxford and in 1681, thus four years after Spinoza's death, his work first saw the light in print. This seems to prove that the insight of individuals cannot make itself felt so long as the spirit of the age is not ripe to receive it. On the other hand, in our day (1851) pantheism, although presented only in Schelling's eclectic and confused revival thereof, has become the dominant mode of thought of scholars and even of educated people. This is because Kant had preceded it with his overthrow of theistic dogmatism and had cleared the way for it, whereby the spirit of the age was ready for it, just as a ploughed field is ready for the seed.
- Arthur Schopenhauer, Parerga and Paralipomena (1851), Vol. I, "Sketch of a History of the Doctrine of the Ideal and the Real"
- [Malebranche] teaches that we see all things in God himself. This is certainly equivalent to explaining something unknown by something even more unknown. Moreover, according to him, we see not only all things in God, but God is also the sole activity therein, so that physical causes are so only apparently; they are merely occasional causes. (Recherches de la vérité, Livre VI, seconde partie, chap. 3.) And so here we have essentially the pantheism of Spinoza who appears to have learned more from Malebranche than from Descartes.
- Arthur Schopenhauer, Parerga and Paralipomena (1851), Vol. I, "Sketch of a History of the Doctrine of the Ideal and the Real"
- All pantheism must ultimately be shipwrecked on the inescapable demands of ethics, and then on the evil and suffering of the world. If the world is a theophany, then everything done by man, and even by animal, is equally divine and excellent; nothing can be more censurable and nothing more praiseworthy than anything else; hence there is no ethics.
- Arthur Schopenhauer, The World as Will and Representation, Vol. II, Ch. XLVII
- The chief objection I have to pantheism is that it says nothing. To call the world God is not to explain it; it is only to enrich our language with a superfluous synonym for the word "world".
- Arthur Schopenhauer, A Few Words On Pantheism (1851)
- Whatsoever is, is in God, and without God nothing can be, or be conceived. God is the indwelling, and not the transient cause of all things.
- Baruch Spinoza, Ethics, Part I, Propositions 15 and 18
- Every idea of every body, or of every particular thing actually existing, necessarily involves the eternal and infinite essence of God.
- Baruch Spinoza, Ethics, Part II, Propositions 45
- Hence we see, that the infinite essence and the eternity of God are known to all. Now as all things are in God, and conceived through God, we can from this knowledge infer many things, which we may adequately know, and we may form that third kind of knowledge... Men have not so clear a knowledge of God as they have of general notions, because they are unable to imagine God as they do bodies, and also because they have associated the name God with images of things that they are in the habit of seeing, as indeed they can hardly avoid doing, being, as they are, men, and continually affected by external bodies. ...Very many controversies have arisen from the fact, that men do not rightly explain their meaning, or do not rightly interpret the meaning of others. For, as a matter of fact, as they flatly contradict themselves, they assume now one side, now another, of the argument, so as to oppose the opinions, which they consider mistaken and absurd in their opponents.
- Baruch Spinoza, Ethics, Part II, Propositions 47: Note
- The more we understand particular things, the more do we understand God.
- Baruch Spinoza, Ethics, Part V, Propositions 24
- As a scientist, I am happy to look down the hierarchy for an understanding of the parts and their properties. As a pantheist, my spirituality finds its expression at the highest reaches of the hierarchy. When I say that my god is coterminous with the cosmos I hope to imply that my god is that system for which there is no supersystem. I hasten to add that my god is NOT anything and everything, but rather the ALL. I do not worship each and every part, but rather the whole shebang as a totality. I can accept the loss of a single tree, but I will fight to save the forest. The biosphere is more sacred to me than any single species, including Homo sapiens.
- Lloyd West, as quoted in Pan: The Quarterly Magazine of the World Pantheist Movement (Summer 2000), p. 11

Medicare is the federal government program that provides health care coverage (health insurance) if you are 65+, under 65 and receiving Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) for a certain amount of time, or under 65 and with End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD). The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is the federal agency that runs Medicare. The program is funded in part by Social Security and Medicare taxes you pay on your income, in part through premiums that people with Medicare pay, and in part by the federal budget.
Once you have become Medicare-eligible and enroll, you can choose to get your Medicare benefits from Original Medicare, the traditional fee-for-service program offered directly through the federal government, or from a Medicare Advantage Plan, a type of private insurance offered by companies that contract with Medicare (the federal government). Original Medicare includes:
- Part A (Inpatient/hospital coverage)
- Part B (Outpatient/medical coverage)
If you want Medicare prescription drug coverage (Part D) with Original Medicare, in most cases you will need to actively choose and join a stand-alone Medicare private drug plan (PDP).
You still have Medicare if you enroll in a Medicare Advantage Plan. This means that you will still owe a monthly Part B premium (and your Part A premium, if you have one). Each Medicare Advantage Plan must provide all Part A and Part B services covered by Original Medicare, but can do so with different rules, costs, and restrictions that can affect how and when you receive care. Medicare Advantage Plans can also provide Part D coverage. Note that if you have health coverage from a union or current or former employer when you become eligible for Medicare, you may automatically be enrolled in a Medicare Advantage Plan that they sponsor. You have the choice to stay with this plan, switch to Original Medicare, or enroll in a different Medicare Advantage Plan, but you should speak with your employer/union before making any change.
It is important to understand your Medicare coverage choices and to pick your coverage carefully. How you choose to get your benefits and who you get them from can affect your out-of-pocket costs and where you can get your care. For instance, in Original Medicare, you are covered to go to nearly all doctors and hospitals in the country. Medicare Advantage Plans, on the other hand, usually have network restrictions, meaning that you will be more limited in your access to doctors and hospitals. However, Medicare Advantage Plans can also provide additional benefits that Original Medicare does not cover, such as routine vision or dental care.
Medicare is different from Medicaid, which is another government program that provides health insurance. Medicaid is funded and run by the federal government in partnership with states to cover people with limited incomes. Depending on the state, Medicaid can be available to people below a certain income level who meet other criteria (e.g., age, disability status, pregnancy) or be available to all people below a certain income level. Remember, unlike Medicaid, Medicare eligibility does not depend on income. Also, eligible individuals can have both Medicare and Medicaid and are known as dual-eligibles.
Everyone who has Medicare receives a red, white, and blue Original Medicare card. If you choose to receive your coverage through Original Medicare, you will show this card when you get services. If you choose to receive your Medicare benefits through a Medicare Advantage Plan, you will still get an Original Medicare card but you will show your Medicare Advantage Plan card when you get services. No matter how you get your Medicare health benefits, only give your Medicare number to your doctors and health care providers.

Records of the Operations (Loan) Committee
- collection
- 1948 - 1997
The records of the Loan Committee consist of three distinct types of files: minutes; records of the chairman; and background information. The official Loan Committee minutes were maintained by the Bank's Central Files unit until 1987; this Central Files series is the first series of this fonds. Thereafter the official set of minutes became the responsibility of staff attached to the office of the Committee chairman; the second and third series are these records. Some gaps exist in the minutes, but records of these meetings may be found in the series of records of the chairman.
The chairmen of the Commitee also maintained records that, while partly duplicating the series of official minutes, also contain handwritten notes and annotations revealing the chairman's personal reactions to proposals. These are the fourth and fifth series in the fonds.
The bulk of the fonds is a series of project files, mainly from the 1980s, arranged by country. Each file contains the basic documents relating to the Committee's actions on a specific project. While the series of minutes show the chronological development of lending, this background series enables the researcher to look at all projects in a country or region to understand the project emphases in a geographical area. Taken together, the series in this fonds provide a comprehensive picture of the Bank's projects and the shifting priorities in lending policy over time.
