Communion For Dummies

Since I’ve moved back home to live in my parents’ basement, I go with my folks to church pretty much every morning.  They go to a Catholic church, which they’ve belonged to for some 30 years, and since they’ve both retired, they attend morning mass every day.  My dad plays golf on Tuesdays, so I took my mom today and afterwards, as I was waiting for my mom, some little lady asked me why I didn’t take communion during the service.  Good question.

 I am not Catholic.  Haven’t been since I joined a Pentecostal Church in 1982 during my second tour in the Air Force while stationed in England.  I knew what communion means to Catholics and since I no longer believed THAT same way, I felt it was important to respect their beliefs and not to be flippant with a sacred part of their religion.  I remember before Jody and I were married in 1990, she came home with me to visit the folks and we went to church with them.  She was also Pentecostal, raised in a pastor’s home and had been in that church all of her life.  She took communion that morning.  I don’t think she understood the difference in the two beliefs that dominate our two churches in regards to communion. I explained the difference in our beliefs about this and she, to her credit, respected my parents' religious traditions and never did that again.   

 Before we got married, we attended a weekend called Engaged Encounter, which is an offshoot of Marriage Encounter.  On the discussion panel, they had a priest, a recently married couple and a couple that had been married many years as presenters.  When it came to a discussion about church, and a church service that they were going to have the following Sunday morning, the priest spoke about the meaning of communion.  The basic gist of what he said was that to be in communion was to be in agreement.  And how can you take part in a sacrament of the church if you don’t agree about its meaning? 

 Protestants and Catholics believe two completely different things about communion.   This is not a minor “shades of gray” difference, but a major fracture that separates us to quite a distance.  Now we no longer call each other heretics and want to burn each other at the stake, but the same differences that caused those disputes are still alive and well in the world today.   Part of our humanity wants everyone else to see things the way we do.  This is normal, and we don’t really need to apologize for it.  But our civility allows others to see things differently and respects those differences.  It’s part of being an adult.

 The major difference in the beliefs of the two camps is while Catholics believe that the bread and wine becomes the actual body and blood of Christ, Protestants believe it is simply a remembrance of Christ’s coming death and resurrection; His body broken and His blood spilled out for our salvation.  In fact, the Catholic mass cannot actually be complete without partaking in communion.  Minor difference?  I don’t think so.  Wars have been fought over this “minor difference”. 

 As a Non-Catholic, I can enjoy the mass without partaking in communion.  There is enough of what I need to fill the spiritual void that I can enjoy it without disrespecting my family and my family’s heritage.  Also, I am there as support for my parents and my experience is not diminished by not partaking of communion.  The celebration of Christ’s memory and splendor is not diminished by the lack of taking communion.  It brings a sense of God’s presence in my life by participating in all the mass even without communion.  I am also reminded of where I began this Christian journey almost 50 years ago.  And right now, this is enough.

Retirement Planning for Dummies

What did you forget to include for your retirement?  Retirement planning for dummies really does not mean you are dumb. It means that the best laid plans can overlook certain (important) facts.  We all know, or should, that during our working years we should have been paying ourselves like a monthly bill. Utilizing a 401K, IRA, or something similar to a retirement plan should be or should have been a top priority. Retirement planning for dummies takes in more than financial planning. If you have not planned for your lifestyle in your retirement planning for dummies, you've missed an important part of your future.  

Most retirees of today are living longer and<a href="http://retirementusa.com/health"> healthier</a>lives. From the time we retire until the actuaries give us as a life expectancy is an additional 30 years or so past the day we retire.  So, retirement planning for dummies must include how you plan to spend the rest of your time once your financial needs have been met. So, how important are your non material needs?  Think of retirement planning for dummies as a beginning, not the end all. Keep a focus by writing in your retirement planning for dummies journal what your goals are and how you plan to achieve them.  

As we stated earlier, there is going to be many years you have to fill with some activity. Within your retirement planning for dummies journal you may want to make an inventory: 

1)    List your personal assets, strengths, talents, skills.

2)    List intangible qualities such as optimism, sense of humor,

    fears (love the acronym FEAR: False Expectations (that)

    Aren't Real)

3)    Be real. Don't bluff or fluff.

4)    Consider an internship for a hobby that always interested you.

    If you don't remember as a kid, take out the photo album and

    see what interested you during different ages. Dig deep.

5)    List life experiences that you can offer to others 

Look in your area as to workshops, seminars, volunteer work for a cause. 

Retirement planning for dummies must take into account where you will live.  Do you have to scale down? Do you have to take care of elderly parents? How simple a lifestyle do you seek? Warm weather,

winter cold & snow? Mountains? Maybe the middle ground where you will live only a few hours from all of it. What is important to you as to your<a href="http://retirementusa.com/travel"> lifestyle</a> and location?  

FAMILY:
Are you willing to leave family, (immediate or extended), aging parents, children, grandchildren? If you are in that position, will you have room for them to stay a period of time? How about children still in school?  

HOUSING:

 The National Association of Home Builders publishes a spreadsheet that shows the affordability of houses around the country.  

LOCAL TAXES:

 Because you found that perfect house in your perfect price range, it may not be what you bargained for.  

COMMUNITY:
What kind of demographics are you looking for?  Neighbors?  Convenience?  Do you want zero lot lines between your house and next door or do you want five acres? The Census Bureau's Quick Facts web site will show you population, income, business information for all counties in the United States.

Get a sense & feel for where you want to move. Call the local Chamber of Commerce or view the local newspaper online. See if there are local chat message boards or local web sites. Check with local law enforcement for safety & crime in the area. The F.B.I has a crime reporting system that they release annually. 

TRANSPORTATION:
How do you get where you want to go? Are you willing to drive everywhere? Check out those gas prices. Does the area you are looking at have public transportation that is convenient to do grocery shopping, travel to the mall, take you to the cruise ship? What about airports? International or domestic? The FAA has maps showing major U.S. airports with links to smaller or regional airports. Don't forget the train or bus lines.

FAITH, RELIGION & SPIRITUALITY:
Going to your house of worship can be a great way of breaking into the community. Usually, you will be welcomed and start new friendships with those who have the start of something in common.  

HEALTH CARE:
As we become wiser (certainly not older), we become wiser to our health needs. hospitals, doctors, health practitioners. You might be facing a medical challenge or specialty.  

WEATHER:
Neither rain, nor snow or sleet……..Oh, yeah. That's the postman's creed. Do you want to live & play in snow or at the beach? You can certainly check the weather patterns in the coldest months (Jan-Feb) & the warmest months (July-August) to the area you are considering. The local Chamber of Commerce & online web sites can assist you in your decision.  

CELL PHONE COVERAGE:
Check it out with your current service. What's involved of keeping your popular cell phone number or going through the anxiety of letting everyone know your new cell phone number. The cancellation of a contract, a new contract, area coverage. Do you plan to be a world traveler with needed coverage or just local? Dial up the coverage maps for AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile or your current carrier.  

FOOD:
General grocery<a href="http://retirementusa.com/shop-for-a-cause"> shopping</a> is fine. However, what about; seafood, vegetarian, kosher, deli, farmers market, green market, organic market, specialty markets? Dining out…….how far do you travel to your favorite restaurant or Starbucks?  

RECREATION-LEISURE-FIESTA:
What are you going to do with all this FREE TIME you now have on your hands? Golf, walking, beach, skating, cruises, gardening, traveling, cleaning your house, become a dog walker for the neighborhood, become a volunteer (so many needed)?

Did you know that there are garlic festivals all around the country? What about wine tasting? You can check online by using the key words to your desired activity. One thing for sure……look to see if there are certain gatherings in your prospective new address that might be a little overwhelming for you. Some events happen in certain areas of the country during certain times of the year.

It's easy to find a movie theater or a video rental store. What about the likes of local community live theater (dinner or not), symphony orchestras, dance companies, museums, free local tours, mall shopping. 

JOBS:
WHOA! Hold on a minute. I want to go into retirement. I've done my time you say. You know what is said about idle hands……. You just may want to keep those hands busy now that you realize you're not a couch potato. So, maybe a part time position is in the cards…..mmm, a dealer at Vegas?

What Are Slush Funds?

According to David McClintick ("Swordfish: A True Story of Ambition, Savagery, and Betrayal"), in the late 1980's, the FBI and DEA set up dummy corporations to deal in drugs. They funneled into these corporate fronts money from drug-related asset seizures.

The idea was to infiltrate global crime networks but a lot of the money in "Operation Swordfish" may have ended up in the wrong pockets. Government agents and sheriffs got mysteriously and filthily rich and the whole sorry affair was wound down. The GAO reported more than $3.6 billion missing. This bit of history gave rise to at least one blockbuster with Oscar-winner Halle Berry.

Alas, slush funds are much less glamorous in reality. They usually involve grubby politicians, pawky bankers, and philistine businessmen - rather than glamorous hackers and James Bondean secret agents.

The Kazakh prime minister, Imanghaliy Tasmaghambetov, freely admitted on April 4, 2002 to his country's rubber-stamp parliament the existence of a $1 billion slush fund. The money was apparently skimmed off the proceeds of the opaque sale of the Tengiz oilfield. Remitting it to Kazakhstan - he expostulated with a poker face - would have fostered inflation. So, the country's president, Nazarbaev, kept the funds abroad "for use in the event of either an economic crisis or a threat to Kazakhstan's security".

The money was used to pay off pension arrears in 1997 and to offset the pernicious effects of the 1998 devaluation of the Russian ruble. What was left was duly transferred to the $1.5 billion National Fund, the PM insisted. Alas, the original money in the Fund came entirely from another sale of oil assets to Chevron, thus casting in doubt the official version.

The National Fund was, indeed, augmented by a transfer or two from the slush fund - but at least one of these transfers occurred only 11 days after the damning revelations. Moreover, despite incontrovertible evidence to the contrary, the unfazed premier denied that his president possesses multi-million dollar bank accounts abroad.

He later rescinded this last bit of disinformation. The president, he said, has no bank accounts abroad but will promptly return all the money in these non-existent accounts to Kazakhstan. These vehemently denied accounts, he speculated, were set up by the president's adversaries "for the purpose of compromising his name".

On April 15, 2002 even the docile opposition had enough of this fuzzy logic. They established a People Oil's Fund to monitor, henceforth, the regime's financial shenanigans. By their calculations less than 7 percent of the income from the sale of hydrocarbon fuels (c. $4-5 billion annually) make it to the national budget.

Slush funds infect every corner of the globe, not only the more obscure and venal ones. Every secret service - from the Mossad to the CIA - operates outside the stated state budget. Slush funds are used to launder money, shower cronies with patronage, and bribe decision makers. In some countries, setting them up is a criminal offense, as per the 1990 Convention on Laundering, Search, Seizure, and Confiscation of the Proceeds from Crime. Other jurisdictions are more forgiving.

The Catholic Bishops Conference of Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands issued a press release November 2001 in which it welcomed the government's plans to abolish slush funds. They described the poisonous effect of this practice:

"With a few notable exceptions, the practice of directing funds through politicians to district projects has been disastrous. It has created an atmosphere in which corruption is thought to have flourished. It has reduced the responsibility of public servants, without reducing their numbers or costs. It has been used to confuse people into believing public funds are the 'property' of individual members rather than the property of the people, honestly and fairly administered by the servants of the people.

The concept of 'slush-funds' has resulted in well-documented inefficiencies and failures. There were even accusations made that funds were withheld from certain members as a way of forcing them into submission. It seems that the era of the 'slush funds' has been a shameful period."

But even is the most orderly and lawful administration, funds are liable to be mislaid. "The Economist" reported recently about a $10 billion class-action suit filed by native-Americans against the US government. The funds, supposed to be managed in trust since 1880 on behalf of half a million beneficiaries, were "either lost or stolen" according to officials.

Rob Gordon, the Director of the National Wilderness Institute accused "The US Interior Department (of) looting the special funds that were established to pay for wildlife conservation and squandering the money instead on questionable administrative expenses, slush funds and employee moving expenses".

Charles Griffin, the Deputy Director of the Heritage Foundation's Government Integrity Project, charges:

"The federal budget provides numerous slush funds that can be used to subsidize the lobbying and political activities of special-interest groups."

On his list of "Top Ten Federal Programs That Actively Subsidize Politics and Lobbying" are: AmeriCorps, Senior Community Service Employment Program, Legal Services Corporation, Title X Family Planning, National Endowment for the Humanities, Market Promotion Program, Senior Environmental Employment Program, Superfund Worker Training, HHS Discretionary Aging Projects, Telecomm. & Info. Infrastructure Assistance. These federal funds alone total $1.8 billion.

"Next" and "China Times" - later joined by "The Washington Post" - accused the former Taiwanese president, Lee Teng-hui, of forming a $100 million overseas slush fund intended to finance the gathering of information, influence-peddling, and propaganda operations. Taiwan footed the bills trips by Congressional aides and funded academic research and think tank conferences.

High ranking Japanese officials, among others, may have received payments through this stealthy venue. Lee is alleged to have drawn $100,000 from the secret account in February 1999. The money was used to pay for the studies of a former Japanese Vice-Defense Minister Masahiro Akiyama's at Harvard.

Ryutaro Hashimoto, the former Japanese prime minister, was implicated as a beneficiary of the fund. So were the prestigious lobbying firm, Cassidy and Associates and assorted assistant secretaries in the Bush administration.

Carl Ford, Jr., currently assistant secretary of state for intelligence and research, worked for Cassidy during the relevant period and often visited Taiwan. James Kelly, assistant secretary of state for East Asian and Pacific Affairs enjoyed the Taiwanese largesse as well. Both are in charge of crafting America's policy on Taiwan.

John Bolton, erstwhile undersecretary of state for arms control and international security, admitted, during his confirmation hearings, to having received $30,000 to cover the costs of writing 3 research papers.

The Taiwanese government has yet to deny the news stories.

A Japanese foreign ministry official used slush fund money to finance the extra-marital activities of himself and many of his colleagues - often in posh hotel suites. But this was no exception. According to Asahi Shimbun, more than half of the 60 divisions of the ministry maintained similar funds. The police and the ministry are investigating. One arrest has been made. The ministry's accounting division has discovered these corrupt practices twenty years before but kept mum.

Even low-level prefectural bureaucrats and teachers in Japan build up slush funds by faking business trips or padding invoices and receipts. Japanese citizens' groups conservatively estimated that $20 million in travel and entertainment expenses in the prefectures in 1994 were faked, a practice known as "kara shutcho" (i.e., empty business trip).

Officials of the Hokkaido Board of Education admitted to the existence of a 100 million yen secret fund. In a resulting probe, 200 out of 286 schools were found to maintain their own slush funds. Some of the money was used to support friendly politicians.

But slush funds are not a sovereign prerogative. Multinationals, banks, corporation, religious organizations, political parties, and even NGO's salt away some of their revenues and profits in undisclosed accounts, usually in off-shore havens.

Secret election campaign slush funds are a fixture in American politics. A 5-year old bill requires disclosure of donors to such funds but the House is busy loosening its provisions. "The Economist" listed in 2002 the tsunami of scandals that engulfs Germany, both its major political parties, many of the Lander and numerous highly placed and mid-level bureaucrats. Secret, mainly party, funds seem to be involved in the majority of these lurid affairs.

Italian firms made donations to political parties through slush funds, though corporate donations - providing they are transparent - are perfectly legal in Italy. Both the right and, to a lesser extent, the left in France are said to have managed enormous political slush funds.

President Chirac is accused of having abused for his personal pleasure, one such municipal fund in Paris, when he was its mayor. But the funds were mostly used to provide party activists with mock jobs. Corporations paid kickbacks to obtain public works or local building permits. Ostensibly, they were paying for sham "consultancy services".

The epidemic hasn't skipped even staid Ottawa. Its Chief Electoral Officer told Sun Media in September 2001 that he is "concerned" about millions stashed away by Liberal candidates. Sundry ministers who coveted the prime minister's job, have raised funds covertly and probably illegally.

On April 11, 2002 UPI reported that Spain's second-largest bank, Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria (BBVA), held nearly $200 million hidden in secret offshore accounts, "which were allegedly used to manipulate politicians, pay off the 'revolutionary tax' to ETA - the Basque terrorist organization - and open the door for business deals, according to news reports."

The money may have gone to luminaries such as Venezuela's Hugo Chavez, Peru's Alberto Fujomori and Vladimiro Montesinos. The bank's board members received fat, tax-free, "pensions" from the illegal accounts opened in 1987 - a total of more than $20 million.

Latin American drug money launderers - from Puerto Rico to Colombia - may have worked through these funds and the bank's clandestine entities in the Cayman Islands and Jersey. The current Spanish Secretary of State for the Treasury has been the bank's tax advisor between 1992-7.

The "Financial Times" reported in June 2000 that, in anticipation of new international measures to curb corruption, "leading European arms manufacturers" resorted to the creation of off-shore slush funds. The money is intended to bribe foreign officials to win tenders and contracts.

Kim Woo-chung, Daewoo's former chairman, is at the center of a massive scandal involving dozens of his company's executive, some of whom ended up in prison. He stands accused of diverting a whopping $20 billion to an overseas slush fund.

A mind boggling $10 billion were alleged to have been used to bribe Korean government officials and politicians. But his conduct and even the scale of the fraud he perpetrated may have been typical to Korea's post-war incestuous relationship between politics and business.

In his paper "The Role of Slush Funds in the Preparation of Corruption Mechanisms", reprinted by Transparency International, Gherardo Colombo defines corporate slush funds thus:

"Slush funds are obtained from a joint stock company's finances, carefully managed so that the amounts involved do not appear on the balance sheet. They do not necessarily have to consist of money, but can also take the form of stocks and shares or other economically valuable goods (works of art, jewels, yachts, etc.) It is enough that they can be used without any particular difficulty or that they can be transferred to a third party.

If a fund is in the form of money, it is not even necessary to refer to it outside the company accounts, since it can appear in them in disguised form (the 'accruals and deferrals' heads are often resorted to for the purpose of hiding slush money). In light of this, it is not always correct to regard it as a reserve fund that is not accounted for in the books. Deception, trickery or forgery of various kinds are often resorted to for the purpose of setting up a slush fund."

He mentions padded invoices, sham contracts, fictitious loans, interest accruing on holding accounts, back to back transactions with related entities (Enron) - all used to funnel money to the slush funds. Such funds are often set up to cover for illicit and illegal self-enrichment, embezzlement, or tax evasion.

Less known is the role of these furtive vehicles in financing unfair competitive practices, such as dumping. Clients, suppliers, and partners receive hidden rebates and subsidies that much increase the - unreported - real cost of production.

BBVA's payments to ETA may have been a typical payment of protection fees. Both terrorists and organized crime put slush funds to bad use. They get paid from such funds - and maintain their own. Ransom payments to kidnappers often flow through these channels.

But slush funds are overwhelmingly used to bribe corrupt politicians. The fight against corruption has been titled against the recipients of illicit corporate largesse. But to succeed, well-meaning international bodies, such as the OECD's FATF, must attack with equal zeal those who bribe. Every corrupt transaction is between a venal politician and an avaricious businessman. Pursuing the one while ignoring the other is self-defeating.

How fast can I learn AutoCAD?

I'm highly proficient in other graphic programs such as GIS, Illustrator, Photoshop, etc. Is it possible for me to pick it up if I spend the entire weekend intensely studying it using a For Dummies book or the AutoCad Bible tutorial?
I was taught how to draft by hand. I was just never taught this program. Does this help w/the learning curve?
Also, not really trying to learn the ins and outs. I just want to create a model block scenario w/a few 3d buildings and streets.

Yes, you can get proficient at it, but I'd recommend getting something a bit better than a "Dummies" book. That's nothing against them, but certain books are better for understanding a software program.

My company is actually a reseller of Autodesk software. We teach 2 day AutoCAD courses using the books from Ascent.

http://ascented.com/
http://www.ascented.com/courseware_acad2008_fundamentals.htm

I'm aware that at $100 you had better be serious at learning the softeware, but for two days of learning you won't find a better book to learn the program. Give yourself 3-4 days and you'll be able to do most of the basics and do them better (maybe slower due to experience, but still technically more correct) than many people that use it every day.

The AutoCAD Bible is a great book, but it's not the ideal for learning the program in a rush. It's the Bible because its such a good reference tool.

BUT... for just doing 3D buildings the AutoCAD Bible can work fine. But as an individual that also has a degree in Architecture, I can tell you in order to do good architectural 3D work it's going to take some time and practice to do it well. Programs like AutoCAD Architecture and Revit are actually better than base AutoCAD at this process.

Secrets of the Bible Revealed

By John Livingston

The Bible has always been one of those books which stir controversy and which have long been known to contain, hidden within their passages, secrets for a more fulfilled and successful life.  A life that is better in many different ways.  The thing is that the Bible is also huge. Its size alone has the ability to defeat most researchers. Until now.

In Secrets of the Bible you suddenly have in one volume over 250 verses of the Bible which can guide you through your life and help you to succeed.  From the Law of Attraction to the Power of God within Everybody, this is a book that will help you to immeasurably increase what you receive out of this life.

The Law of Attraction

The Law of Attraction states that energy attracts like energy and that by our thoughts, feelings, and actions we are always creating and sending energy out and receiving like energy in return.   Therefore everything that is coming into our lives is the result of our past thoughts, feelings, and actions whether it is something we want or something we don't want. The application of the Law of Attraction is learning to control our thoughts and feelings to attract back to us the ideas and situations we are desiring. Then when we recognize and act upon these ideas and situations we are able to literally create our lives exactly the way we want.

After first learning about the Law of Attraction and the power of the mind I was very intrigued, but I wanted to make sure that I could use it in my daily life and still be living in accordance with the word of God.  Secrets of the Bible is the result of my research.  According to the Bible the Law of Attraction does exist and is very real and powerful. Of course it is never directly referred to as the Law of Attraction in the Bible, but God and Jesus do make promises throughout the Bible that explain why the law was created.  They also describe how it works and how to use it.

The Bible says we can have everything in Life we want and God makes this very clear throughout the entire Bible.  From Genesis to Revelation God teaches us exactly how to act and think in order to achieve total happiness, peace, and abundance in every area of our lives.  Secrets of the Bible is filled with over 250 of the most powerful Biblical passages which were meant to guide and direct you to create the life you most desire.  When studied and applied daily these passages will open up the awesome Power of God in and through your life, and by the promises set forth by God will bring you everything you could possible want, and more.  God is limitless and so are the possibilities he can create in our lives.
