I've been on Microgestin Fe 1/20 for awhile now (Maybe about 3 months) and last night, for the first time, my boyfriend 'came' inside me on accident. I am due to take my first brown pill tomorrow, which should mean I am due to start my period. I am a total worrier and I was actually scared I was pregnant even before last night due to only having my period last one day on my last pack of pills (And oddly, when I started that pack I was continuing a period about a week or 2 after I was supposed to be off during my active pills.) I just want to be reassured I can not get pregnant even if he came inside me. I regretfully don't always take the pills the same time everyday (I've been told it does matter, and doesn't so I'm kind of confused,) but I do take them every single day and haven't missed a single one. Feedback would be great! Thanks!

Hi, you shouldn't worry, I read that you take your pill everyday so your protected even if he came inside of you!! As far as taking them at the same time everyday is good but its not as important as not missing any,, And taking any kind of birth control can make your periods irregular, so don't worry since you never miss a pill the chances you of you being pregnant are slim to none,, best wishes, Kelly
I appreciate the quick feedback, Kelly. I'll try not to worry so much any more.
Thank you,
Kaitlyn. :-)
Your welcome, it will be ok like I said you take them everyday, I was a pharmacist for four years and a lot of women came to me with these concerns but most just missed pills, so your good
I've really got to get used to this change in my periods. Right after I posted this, I went to work and was cramping really bad. I was almost positive I started. I did start, but it was EXTREMELY light brown bleeding. I took my first 'Sugar' pill of the pack today and I haven't started bleeding again. What's going on? I told you I was a big worrier. Hahaha.
- Kaitlyn. :-)
Ok don't worry, your fine, the brown bleeding is nothing more then old blood that has been in your uterus that just hasn't came out yet, no biggie, and since you just started the other pills give your body time to adjust, it will come, also I'm just going to tell you that worrying and being under stress can cause your periods to be late or missed all together, so you have to just try to relax, yoga would be good for you, I do it four times a week!! Lol let me know how it goes!
You're right. I've recently set up an alarm on my phone and it makes me feel in better control with my medicine. I appreciate your input!
Kaitlyn. :-)
You are welcome. Hope things are going better for you now.

This is kind of like my situation. I've been on Microgestin Fe 1/20 for a little over a year now and I was spending a week with my boyfriend and it was our 3rd time ever having sex. He did the same as your boyfriend. I immediately went and cleaned myself to try and make sure I got his cum out. I take my pill everyday just not always at the same time. So i got worried aswell. Glad I'm not the only one who's had this problem. The other responses were very insightful. I hope everything is well with you and your boyfriend.

Sweden's shame
Culture | Liberal Sweden, supposedly a land of tolerance, is about to make criticism of homosexuality a crime
Sweden is the liberal utopia. Confiscatory taxes fund a cradle-to-grave welfare state, with "free" health care, job security, and government regulation for all. Sexual freedom is taken for granted, to the point that the majority of Swedish couples live together without being married, and the majority of children are born out of wedlock.
Sweden has become so tolerant that it is taking the next step: prosecuting those whom it considers intolerant, even if this means throwing out freedom of speech and freedom of religion. The Swedish parliament has passed a constitutional amendment that would make it a crime to teach that homosexual behavior is immoral.
The Swedish constitution affirms freedom of expression but makes exceptions. "Freedom of expression and freedom of information may be restricted," says the constitution, under certain circumstances, including speech that would "imply the unfavorable treatment of a citizen because he belongs to a minority group by reason of race, color, or ethnic origin" (Chapter 2, Articles 13 & 15). The amendment, which must be approved by one more vote after the new parliament convenes in September, adds "sexual orientation" to that list of groups that must not be subject to "unfavorable" speech.
Sweden's Criminal Code already has laws against "insulting" or "agitating against" minorities. The constitutional amendment, if approved, would go into effect in January, effectively outlawing the teaching that homosexuality is morally wrong. A pastor, for example, who teaches what the Bible says about homosexual sin could go to prison for up to four years.
Despite-or perhaps because of-the Swedish culture's hostility to Christianity, that country has a vibrant Christian community. Remnants of the hopelessly liberal state church-abolished in 2000-remain, but as many as one-third of the pastors in the Lutheran Church of Sweden are conservative. There are also many independent churches-Lutheran, Pietist, Baptist, Pentecostal-as well as Roman Catholics and Orthodox. Swedish evangelicals are known throughout Europe for their evangelistic zeal, particularly in sending missionaries to the former Communist states.
The new law would presumably outlaw the use of the Roman Catholic catechism-which teaches that homosexuality is a sin-as well as the teachings of Islam. (Sweden's ultra-tolerant immigration policies have brought in some 300,000 Muslims.) As Swedish Christians understand the law, they would be allowed to quote the Scriptures, but they would not be allowed to say that what the Scriptures teach on the matter is applicable today. If they do, they could go to prison.
The new law is only one front in the Swedish establishment's war against Christianity and other conservative religions. Conservative pastors and Christian schools report constant harassment by government officials.
Indeed, parental rights-like other "family values"-have gone the way of the Viking ships. Spanking one's child is a criminal offense. The government tells children to turn in their parents if they attempt to punish them. The government has taken away children from Christian parents on trumped-up child-abuse charges, because of even mild exercises of physical discipline.
Organizations ranging from Amnesty International to the United Nations oppose human-rights abuses, and the United States regularly slaps sanctions on nations that violate human rights.
Persecution of Christians around the world has gained new attention. China, Sudan, Iran, Indonesia, and other Muslim and African nations have been the most noted offenders, and have received widespread condemnation for their anti-Christian oppression. But will white, European, progressive Sweden face the same kind of sanctions and international condemnation if they start imprisoning people for disapproving of homosexuality? Sweden is a member of the European Union, whose founding documents commit member nations to human rights and to policies of religious tolerance. Will the EU discipline Sweden if it amends its constitution to allow religious persecution?
Will the United States lodge a statement of concern or of protest, through the State Department or the American Consulate or a resolution from Congress, to discourage the new parliament from ratifying the new law? We do that sort of thing to Israel, when it mistreats Palestinians, and to Serbia, when it mistreats its religious minorities. When the offenses are particularly flagrant, we cut off trade against the oppressive nation. Should we not give Sweden the same treatment?
More importantly, is Sweden just slightly ahead of where the United States will be in a few years? Will anti-discrimination laws, which punish external actions, develop into laws that punish inner convictions and beliefs? Will the desire to be tolerant mutate into an oppressive intolerance against intolerance?

The spring 2014 General Assembly provided a motivational start to the semester thanks to Rev. Terry K. Anderson of Lilly Grove Baptist Church in Houston.
Anderson captivated the audience with his powerful and inspiring words on "Embracing your Individuality." The crowd listened intently and cheered as he explained the tools and mindset necessary to accomplish your academic goals.
"If you think education is expensive, try being ignorant," Anderson said, as he urged students to learn all that they can inside and outside of the classroom. "Live a life that is unexamined. If you don't stand for something you fall for anything."
The general assembly is held to start out each semester with an encouraging message for students, faculty and staff. A guest speaker is invited to address the University and impart special words of wisdom and motivation.

AFT #64: Homeland, The Voice, Lena Dunham, Survivor and more
We recorded this week's podcast on the "magical" date 12-12-12, while the massive 12-12-12 charity concert was playing all over TV, so we start things there:
- We talk about charity concerts and telethons like 12-12-12, and how annoyed we'd be if we called in a pledge and got Andy Dick on the phone instead of, say, George Clooney (00:00 – 10:00),
- We then preview the finale of The Voice and discuss why Trevin Hunte blew it, why Christina Aguilera has worn out her welcome, why a singer is almost better off losing, and why you don't need the grand prize record contract to be successful anymore (10:00 – 39:00),
- Then we talk about the best Survivor season in ages, and how well Lisa Welchel is doing… and she's doing it in an honorable way! (39:00 – 49:00),
- We then talk about the SAG Awards nominees (The Golden Globes nominations came after we recorded; we'll discuss them next week), why The Office got a nod for best ensemble while Parks and Rec didn't, and why the nominations feel like they were made by rote (49:00 – 55:15),
- Then we talk about the latest backlash against Lena Dunham of "Girls," and wonder why people hate her so much. We also talk about hate-watching and professional jealousy, even outing ourselves for having those ugly feelings (55:15 – 1:18:15),
- Finally, we talk about the eventful next-to-last episode of Homeland's season, and where the heck the show can possibly go from here (we're not sure, to be honest). We also speculate if the show has fallen from the ranks of "special" shows (1:18:15 – 1:42:54).

Tech to Face Houston Dash Saturday
The Red Raider continue their 2014 spring season Saturday at Houston.
March 28, 2014
LUBBOCK, Texas - The Red Raider soccer team continues its 2014 spring season Saturday as Texas Tech travels south to Houston for a highly-anticipated match with the Houston Dash.
First kick for the match is set for 2 p.m. at the Houston Sports Park.
Tech enters the match on the heels of a 3-0 shutout victory over West Texas A&M at the John Walker Soccer Complex on Feb. 28. The Dash, preparing for its inaugural season in the National Women's Soccer League, enters the match 2-0 in its preseason with victories over Rice and Texas A&M.
Three separate Red Raiders - Janine Beckie, Hannah Devine and Briana Rohmer - found the back of the net in the Red Raiders' 3-0 victory over the Buffalos in February.
The Red Raiders won a school record 18 matches in 2013 en route to its second-straight appearance in the NCAA Tournament. Tech shutout 17 of its 23 opponents during the regular season, while tying the Big 12 record with just nine goals allowed.
Tech ended the 2013 season at No. 17 in the final NSCAA rankings.

Council Ponders 30 Pound Cats And The Future
On a crowded agenda, the items that drew the largest crowd at this week's City Council session were the three ordinances on pets.
Several dozen people showed up for what turned into a lengthy council debate on the merits of spay/neuter requirements.
Among the more vocal council members on the subject was Barbara Swearengen Ware.
"Some people think I don't like dogs. Dogs don't like me," the former postal worker said.
One of the ordinances originally called for mandatory spay/neutering of dogs and cats weighing 30 pounds or more.
"I have never seen a 30 pound cat," council member Janis Fullilove said. "Why is that in there?"
"In an effort to prevent feline obesity?" sponsor Shea Flinn offered tentatively.
Council member Wanda Halbert proposed and the council approved an amendment taking out the weight requirement.
Among those in the audience supporting the measure were Lucas and Laura Hoge of Nashville.
Lucas Hoge is among the animal rescuers featured regularly on the Animal Planet television show "Last Chance Highway." The show documents the journey of stray dogs in Memphis and other Southern cities to Northern cities.
Aisling Maki wrote about the program's Memphis connections in Tuesday's edition of The Daily News.
Hoge is also a musician and confessed on his Facebook page to some jitters about speaking to the council.
"Wonder if they would let me sing instead. I think I could handle that," he wrote.
Hoge and his wife expressed their support for the spay/neuter provisions.
They needn't have been nervous.
It was a long day for the council that lasted over 12 hours, starting with committee sessions at 8:30 that morning.
By the early afternoon, the committee sessions were turning up some rhetorical gems.
Council member Joe Brown declared for all to hear that children are the city's future and followed that with "There's no future in it's elderly people."
When that committee session ran long and Brown was told to wrap up, he added, "That's what government is about – running out of time – running out of resources."
Several hours later, the council was in a playful mood after passing the pet ordinances.
Among the other items left on the agenda was $510,844 for some landscaping and renovation work at Lamar and South Parkway that will include a wrought iron fence, shrubs and a new pedestrian walkway at the busy South Memphis intersection.
Several council members, including chairman Harold Collins, noted the intersection is near the home of Memphis Mayor A C Wharton Jr. The park services projects includes $400,000 in state grant money.
"I'm not going there," Collins said of the mayoral connection before having some fun with it several more times.

Disclosure: I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Hood. I received product samples to facilitate my review and a promotional item as a thank you for participating.
Nothing says comfort food like soup in the winter. I make it several times a week. One of my go-to recipes is my Creamy Citrus Black Bean Soup with Hood Sour Cream. Not only is it a tried and true family favorite, but it's also a quick and easy meal!
This soup would not be complete without sour cream…specifically Hood Sour Cream. It's a staple in our house…it's rich and creamy, and has no artificial ingredients or preservatives, which is important to our family. Besides soups, we use it in enchiladas, and as a topping for burritos, tacos, and quesadillas…yes, my family loves Mexican food! And of course we can't forget about dips and dressings. Needless to say we go through a lot of sour cream, and we always have a container (or two) in the fridge.
One of the things I love about this recipe is that it is so quick and easy. I have three teenagers, and all are heavily involved in sports. Our weeknights are jam packed with practices. I need to be able to pull together dinner quickly most nights. Since I always have pretty much everything in this recipe on hand at all times, all I really have to do is chop…it's a one pot meal! Most of the time needed for the recipe is just simmering on the stove. And if I need to save even more time around dinner time, I just chop everything earlier in the day and have it ready to go.
- 1 cup carrots, chopped
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cups peppers, chopped (I used a mix of green, red and yellow peppers)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil for sautéing
- 1½ teaspoons cumin seed
- 1 teaspoon chili powder (I used chipotle chili powder)
- 1 10 oz can Ro*Tel Tomatoes
- 4 cans 15.5 oz black beans, drained and rinsed
- 8 cups broth (vegetable or chicken)
- ½ lemon, juiced
- ½ lime, juiced
- ½ orange, juiced
- 1 cup Hood Sour Cream + more for topping
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Toppings: Hood Sour cream, extra lime quarters, cilantro, grated cheddar cheese
- Sauté carrots, onion, and peppers in olive oil until softened.
- Add cumin seed and chili powder, and sauté for another minute or so until fragrant.
- Add black beans, Rotel tomatoes, and chicken broth. Bring to a boil.
- Cover and simmer on low for approximately 30 minutes.
- Remove from heat.
- Add lemon, lime, and orange juice, Hood sour cream, and puree.
- Season with salt, pepper, and more chili powder to taste, if needed.
- Add an extra lime quarter to individual soup bowls if you'd like, and top with Hood Sour Cream, grated cheddar cheese and chopped cilantro.
I hope you enjoy this soup recipe. It's a family favorite here! To find out what else I am cooking, follow me on Pinterest!

Tyrone West's Family Resists 'Objectively Reasonable Force'
None of the officers involved in the death of Tyrone West will face criminal charges because they were using "objectively reasonable force" to subdue a subject who was resisting arrest, the state's attorney's office and the Baltimore City Police Department announced Dec. 19.
"We have concluded that there is no evidence to support the filing of criminal charges against any of the officers involved in this incident," State's Attorney Greg Bernstein said based on investigations by him, the BPD and the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner (OCME).
"We are disgusted and we are going to keep on fighting," Towanda West, West's sister told the AFRO. "I expected for every last one of them to be charged."
According to Bernstein's statement, the cause of death of West remains "undetermined." He cited the OCME report's conclusion that West "died of cardiac arrhythmia … due to cardiac conduction system abnormality" during an encounter with police July 18 in Northwest Baltimore.
"In other words, Mr. West died because his heart stopped beating, but the OCME was unable to say whether any one of the factors noted above was the absolute or even primary reason why Mr. West's heart stopped beating," the report stated 157 days after West's encounter with police.
The report details the moments just before the 44-year-oldWest died after what police described as a routine traffic stop on Keyway Road near Kitmore Road, in a blow-by-blow description of the actions first, of the officers who responded to the initial traffic stop and then of the officers who were dispatched when a subsequent "officer needs assistance" call was issued.
Nine officers involved in the incident –including a Morgan State University campus police officer–were suspended while the episode was investigated. Each one has returned to active duty.
"None of the officers involved in this incident acted with the intent to cause death or serious physical injury to Mr. West," Bernstein said in statement in which he voiced sympathy for the West family, who said they were disappointed in the Bernstein statement.
"There were ten officers against one man—my brother," said West's sister, Towanda. "They beat and killed him."
Bernstein's report chronicled four "physical encounters" after the traffic stop in which West resisted commands by the officers who were trying to handcuff him.
"We look to the objective reasonableness of the officers' actions," Bernstein's statement said. "In other words, we are not governed by 20/20 hindsight, but from the perspective of a reasonable officer on the scene, and the calculus of what constitutes reasonable use of force includes consideration of the split-second judgments officers are often required to make in sometimes tense, uncertain and rapidly-evolving situations ."
Bernstein said cocaine was found in the car West was driving and that "while Mr. West did have traces of cocaine in his system, it did not indicate recent use, and the trace elements could have been in his system for days or even weeks."
However, Towanda West said her brother had no prior medical conditions.
"He was a healthy man," she said. "We are not surprised that the officers weren't charged. They are trying to paint my brother out to be a dope addict that was high off of drugs."
"Any life lost in Baltimore City is a tragedy. For the past several months, I have closely monitored this case and urged that all information be released as soon as possible without undermining this investigation," Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake said in a statement to the AFRO. "With the criminal review complete, I have charged the Baltimore Police Department to conduct an internal investigation in an effort to further evaluate the details surrounding this case and to hold anyone found of any wrongdoing accountable for their actions."
In November, City Councilman Bill Henry joined the West family in calling on officials for answers. In an interview with the AFRO Henry said he wanted the family to have closure and the "answers they deserve." He did not respond to requests for comment on the Bernstein report.
Baltimore Police released a statement saying that they "must have and will continue to have a reverence for human life. While the criminal review of this difficult situation comes to an end, the internal evaluation of our tactics continues as we seek ways to improve. There will never be a perfect solution to every encounter. We will never stop in our efforts to reform and better our methods."

Samsung Galaxy S4 – Verizon, AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile Models: Second To None ?
The Samsung Galaxy S4 shapes up to be one of the most impressive smartphones of the year and it seems that the Korean manufacturer is hell-bent on delivering a device worthy of the "smartphone of the year" title.
However, in order to achieve this feat, the manufacturer needs to put a lot of work into its product and the S4 seems to have a lot of potential. It looks good enough (although the HTC One is arguably a better looking device), it comes with a lot of interesting software features, and by the looks of it, the S4 packs quite a punch!
Samsung Galaxy S4 vs The Competition
Last week we had the chance to take a look at how well the Samsung Galaxy S4 performs in the Geekbench 2 benckmark. Today we continue to be amazed by how powerful this beast is, as AnTuTu benchmark scores have surfaced on the web, showcasing the handset's processing power.
Now, keep in mind that the unit that has been tested is the Snapdragon 600 model, so it's the one that you'll have the chance to buy in the US via Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile and a handful of other regional carriers.
As for the results, long story short, the Galaxy S4 managed to score 21,089 points, which pretty much makes this particular gadget a record holder.
To give you an idea on how powerful this beast is, the Qualcomm-powered Galaxy S3 scores an average of 16.301, the quad-core Exynos-powered Samsung Galaxy Note 2 has yielded an average score of 17.531 while the LG Nexus 4 managed to score 18,096 points, thanks to its quad-core Snapdragon S4 Pro chip.
We should also note that it was to be expected for the Galaxy S4 to perform better than the HTC One, despite the fact that both handsets are being powered by a Snapdragon 600 chip. The reason for this is because the CPU found in the SGS4 is clocked at 1.9 GHz, whereas HTC One's Snapdragon 600 processor runs at a lower frequency (1.7 GHz).
Lastly, what's even more interesting is that the Exynos 5 Octa CPU is expected to outperform the Snapdragon 600, so this basically isn't the best the SGS4 has to offer.
Although we know that benchmark results are not telling the whole story, the SGS4 really is an impressive device when it comes down to synthetic results.
Thanks LaptopMag for the heads-up regarding the Samsung Galaxy S4 AnTuTu scores.

Sunday FamJam
We had a family photo shoot this past weekend and so the whole clan came together for lunch at Cannery Row ("Granny's Diner" from OUAT!) afterwards sans C/M/M :( who had to leave right after the shoot and headed to the farmer's market in Steveston. T'was a lovely, hot, sunny day as can be attested by the GIANT sunburn on my back and shoulders. So nice to spend time with everyone and so great of Mikey to drive down from Calgary for the shoot.
Happy birthday, Mason!
So wonderful to see old and new friends and celebrate Mr. Mason's 2nd birthday! Was a perfect day for water park fun... slightly overcast but warm.
Congratulations Johann!
Over the past weekend, the family drove down for our first family road trip to Seattle to watch Johann graduate - it was a wonderful weekend filled with lots of family time and sunny weather!
My aunt Carol and uncle Allan flew up from California a little early to spend some time with my mom as well, then we drove down (separately) and stayed at this beautiful suite close to downtown Seattle with the family. We were also able to meet Johann's co-workers who threw him a lovely brunch on Sunday before heading to the outlets and then home.
Here are some pictures from the weekend.
Happy Mother's Day
I know it's very late, but I have had the privilege of calling many amazing women "Mom" and feel so blessed to join theor ranks this year.
Thank you and happy mother's day to all the mamas, wishing-they-were-mamas, grandmas, aunties and friends who played a part in shaping me into who I am today. I love you all!
Car Issues
Glad to say that after Vic's car got towed to the mechanic and Stan found out that it was just a faulty connector. Thank goodness, because prior to that, we had essentially just paid $1000 for a tuneup for the Acura, only to have this problem arise. Bah! Cars are so expensive.
Even though I always tell Vic that it would be fine for us to have one car, it does make it so much more difficult to get around without the extra vehicle. Ellie's got a bunch of follow up doctor's appointments right now so it is so convenient to have another vehicle on board, since taking transit is so inconvenient.
Time Flies!
I can't believe that it's mid-April already! I meant to post this a MONTH ago.
I have the most INCREDIBLE friends. It doesn't matter how far we apart we are, how busy life gets or how long its been since we've seen/talked to each other, but they have always been there for me during the ups and the downs.
My friends threw me the most amazing baby shower in March. No detail was spared; the invitations were handmade and adorable, the prepwork for the venue and the food were perfect and people were so generous.
How did Elie and I get so lucky? :)
Here are a few pictures from the shower!
Ellie's baby cousin was born today! Welcome, Alexander Robert MacInnes. We are so excited for Al and Nancy and can't wait to make playdates when Ellie is bigger!
In the meantime, check out those cheeks!
Baby Blog 8: Nursery!
We are so blessed by the generosity of our friends :)
One of our friends is a professional painter and as a gift, he and his GF (Shaun and Vanessa, the couple we drove down to LA with last year) painted our nursery for us! The picture does not do it justice (it's darker in the picture than it is in real life) but the grey and blush colour is just so beautiful to look at. The room is empty right now as we get ready to start moving things back into the room, but sometimes I go in there and
Living the Single Life
I dropped Vic off at Bellingham Airport veeeery early on Sunday the 8th; he is headed to Vegas and is set to come home on Thursday, which means that I'm living the single life for a few days. It's been very quiet at home with just Chloe and I as Chloe doesn't talk too much J. It's been a nice couple of days off though as Monday was a holiday (Family Day) and I was able to finish my errands early and come home to fit in a nap with Chloe before we retired for the evening.
Right before Vic left (Friday night), we were able to attend a potluck dinner at Casa de Macau, the Macanese cultural club that Vic's family has been involved in (helped to start 30 years ago). It was the last event for Vic's dad as President and it was nice to be able to see a number of people we don't see too often! There were about 90 people there; it was definitely a packed house.
We've got a spiritual conference coming up the next two weeks at our church and then I'm going to be 'retiring' from the Worship Team in March – seems a little surreal as I connect to God through music but it's definitely time; it's getting hard to play the bass with my protruding belly. Having to shift the bass after every song and standing so close to the amp is probably not too great for the baby either J. As much as I will miss it, there's been a little bit of drama happening within the team and I will be glad to take a step away from that and try to put my focus back on where it really should be – God.
As of this week (and if baby comes on time!), I only have 12 more weeks of work left and I couldn't be more excited! My last day at work is May 1st and I'm due on the 15th so that should give me two weeks (hopefully) to get settled before baby comes. I can't believe how fast time has flown by; it seems like just yesterday that we found out we were expecting and now I'm in my 26th week. I went and did a gestational diabetes test a few weeks ago and didn't hear back from my doctor immediately, which I am assuming is good news. I've got an appointment to see my doctor again this Thursday so we will see!
We've always known this, but the outpouring of love and generosity from our friends and family these past few months has been overwhelming for me and Vic. We have gotten so much valuable advice and have been given/lent so much that it's definitely eased the amount of things we have to purchase for the baby.
So thank you so much to those who have thought of us, spoilt us and baby!

It's not writers block…Monday, October 18th, 2010
When you just don't have anything to say… Or at least I don't think it is!?!? Sorry I haven't been posting regularly, I just haven't had much going on to talk about. My days have been fairly boring as of late. Other than on the weekends when the kids are here, I really don't do much. I have written about it before, But things have seemed kind of hopeless, I am lucky to be surviving and paying all the bills ( I know so many are not!). It just seems like there is little hope of advancement, of bettering the situation. Never before have I experienced the feeling professionally that there is no where to advance too.
I see the manifestation of recession rage into the tea party, intolerance and fringe elements gaining mainstream acceptance and it makes me even more disillusioned with the direction this country is headed. I know it is human nature to need someone to blame, but it seems that the American people have focused their energy on the wrong targets. We're mad at Muslims, Mexicans, health care, homosexual marriage… I have seen no rallies, heard no outrage against the banks and mortgage lenders who's profit over ethics lending practices lead to the housing bubble and it's ultimate explosion. Even now Bank of America had to stall foreclosures… They screwed us buying our homes and how they're screwing us taking them. I know many have spoke out against the TARP program, the problem is not only was the TARP program necessary to keep the economy from failing further, but it has on some fronts actually turned a profit and will ultimately only cost a fraction of originally projected… Again I see this as misguided, we are upset at the government for the bailout and not those who needed bailing out. I guess what I'm saying is that I want to see that hatred for Muslims trying to build a mosque in Temecula (over 2000 miles from Ground Zero), the anger over illegal immigration (even if our Republican candidate for Governor knowingly employed one for years, not to mention Lou Dobbs… Don't take this as an endorsement of Jerry Brown he is a huge "whore" too), the disdain for health care reform with cries of socialism (Although no one is complaining about public schools or social security), directed towards those who actually got us where we are today. OK, that's enough politics, I know it's boring.
To totally shift directions. I have been thinking about something kind of strange in the past few weeks. Have you ever had a hallucination? I have had only had one in my life, it was in the hospital after my suicide attempt, as I laid in the emergency room, nurses and doctors working on me, I saw a baby lying next to me. I plead with them to help the baby, as they assured me there was no baby. I remember very few details of that night, but I remember that baby… I remember it as if it was real, I remember my concern and worry over it, how badly I wanted it to be cared for and comforted. I know it was not real, it was not there… But i remember it as real, it's just strange. That baby could have been me, maybe I was seeing myself as helpless, in need of saving? It could have been my kids, who I felt were helpless victims of my failed relationship in need of saving? It could have just been the innocent projection caused by three bottles of prescription drugs? I may never figure it out, but I will always remember that baby as real.
Time for another transition, I guess I've been backing up a bunch of posts and now it is time to unload. Halloween and my kids birthday's are right around the corner… And I've been slacking on both, which is weird because they are my three favorite events of the year. Halloween is all set for the kids, but I gave up on my "Baby" costume. The birthday's have been stressful in trying to decide what kind of party would fit into my budget. The kids originally wanted to have the party at the miniature golf course, but that would mean limited guest list and we'd have to pick and choose who to invite. My sister is out of town, but we may use her house to have a bigger, less elaborate party so more friends can attend… All I know is I need to figure it out in the next few days because it's less than 3 weeks away!
Work has been going really well, the show has found it's groove and Ron has been rocking it. It was hard launching a show from scratch, but has been rewarding to see it mature into an entertaining, informative radio program.
I'm feeling equally as good about the pod, it has been a lot of fun lately. It has got to a point where it is less of a show and more of us having a daily conversation with an exclusive group of friends. Also, as different as we are, Stench is one of my dearest friends and I cherish my daily interaction with him.
Speaking of Stench, at his 40th birthday party a couple of years ago a psychic told me I would be re-married by 40… Well, I'm 40 in 3 months and there are no perspectives nor desire, so my disbelief in psychics lives on. Maybe I need Gary Spivey to make my crotch tingle and my demons disappear!?!?
Fumble! Finally, a good reason to go to Starbuck's! Don't forget to fill out your permission slip. This is crazy. Number 4 on 11/11/11? I guess you have to be aware to shoot them!?!? Here's a back-up!
Rock on, jack
Here's a classic video… Look how little Bing was!!!!

According to TorrentFreak, New Zealand's government is in a huge rush to push through legislation that will target citizens who share copyrighted material online without rightsholder permission over the internet. The Copyright (Infringing File Sharing) Amendment Bill, which unanimously passed its first reading in Parliament in April 2010, will put in place a 3 strikes-style rule, where Internet service providers will be required to send warning letters to alleged infringers at the request of rights holders.
New Zealand's "Copyright Tribunal" (the group that will oversee this new three strikes rule) will have the power to rule on cases of "repeat infringement" and will be given the authority to hand down fines up to a maximum of $15,000 ($11,733 US). That's a lot of dough and, while I'm not familiar with the laws in New Zealand there must be some sort of rule about due process and the ability to for one defend oneself against false accusations.. Repeat offenders that break the law in a six-month period could even face an Internet disconnection.
Green MP Gareth Hughes who wasn't aware the Bill was coming up for a vote today, thinks some aspects of the law may go too far.
"It really surprised me because we haven't debated it since November," he said.
Of course that does not mean he is opposed to the rest of the bill or what it intends to create. Hughes later confirmed with TorrentFreak that "he would request an amendment to remove the suspension clause but a spokesperson for Commerce Minister Simon Power said it would be opposed." While the Greens are against disconnections, they support the Bill in principle.
The bill is expected to pass its third and final stage during the next few hours, according to TorrentFreak.

FXStreet (Łódź) - Paul Robson, Senior FX Strategist at RBS points out that the ECB's recent announcement of conditional LTRO for September has given it breathing space for now but that upcoming events could still overtake it.
Key quotes
"The obvious focus is CPI and Germany releases its June estimate this Friday ahead of EU numbers on Monday 30th."
"The ECB has often hid behind evidenceof continued economic recovery as a reason for not loosening policy more aggressively. But German data have been more mixed and this means Monday's PMIs and Tuesday's IFO data are important."
"A combination of lower inflation and softer growth would increase the chance the ECB
announces an asset purchase program in September."
"Given the risks around this week's US core PCE deflator numbers (above) we are neutral EUR/USD looking for opportunities to sell if this week's German data surprise to the downside."

In drugs, as in cars, there is often a more expensive, yet more cost effective, alternative available. For example, the cheapest drug for a particular ailment may require so many doses that it produces low compliance rates. A higher cost, once-a-day drug may appear comparable based on clinical efficacy, but be more effective in practice.
There is little doubt that patient compliance, tolerability, quality of life, work productivity, and reduced absenteeism all contribute to a drug's true effectiveness. These factors determine its overall value to patients, to their families, to payers, and ultimately, to society at large.Despite this, FDA's cautious approach to allowing manufacturers to communicate the economic value of drugs is contributing to an already poorly informed healthcare industry, and may be curtailing consumer access to useful drugs. Even those familiar with drug regulation are probably not fully aware that FDA is completely out of step with accepted health services research and economic standards in the area of economic evaluation.
In contrast, informed healthcare observers realize that cost plays a key role in drug coverage and reimbursement decisions. When several drugs exist to treat a given ailment, it is often the product with the lowest acquisition cost that will be seen most favorably—despite other positive qualities of the more expensive product.
The reality is that healthcare decision makers do not consistently consider a drug's value. This problem does not stem from the lack of available evidence, but rather, from a sort of pincer movement—from FDA's restrictive policies on one end, and the payers' silo mentality on the other.
On FDA's end, manufacturers are effectively barred from efficiently communicating the value of their products to the market. High-quality economic evaluations are labeled "false and misleading" if a manufacturer uses them in a promotional way. FDA will only allow promotional claims that stem from randomized-controlled trials (RCTs) performed in support of approved indications.
Of course, payers can request economic evaluations from manufacturers. In this case, manufacturers are complying with an "unsolicited request," which is permitted by FDA. This is done, most effectively, via the useful "Format of Formulary Submission of Clinical and Economic Data," crafted by the Academy of Managed Care Pharmacy (AMCP).
Yet, this avenue also has limitations. Many payers are either not requesting the Format, or do not have confidence in the validity of manufacturers' economic evaluations. This is unfortunate because these evaluations can help deliver good value for the considerable money payers are spending on behalf of their beneficiaries.
More realistic policies about communicating legitimate economic-evaluation evidence are in order. FDA should:
None of this will happen without direct support and pressure from pharma. Manufacturers must be willing to stand up for the importance of communicating evidence of value to their customers.
Once FDA accepts economic evidence as legitimate, credibility among payers should be enhanced—but this alone will not suffice. The pharmaceutical industry must adhere to accepted economic evaluation guidelines, and seek partnerships with MCOs in designing and evaluating studies. Economic evaluations always require data, and often require judgment and assumptions. By partnering to use the payers' own data, agreeing on assumptions, and engaging in full transparency, manufacturers can promote decisions based on value.

Blu-ray Notes: That Thing You Do!
Release Date: 2 April 2013
That Thing You Do! releases to Blu-ray in package including two versions of the film: Tom Hanks Extended Cut and the Theatrical Version.

- That Thing You Do! Reunion
- Feel Alright Music Video
- The Wonders! Big In Japan!
- The Story Of The Wonders
- Making That Thing You Do!
- HBO First Look: The Making Of That Thing You Do!
That Thing You Do!: Tom Hanks' Extended Cut
DVD Release Date: 8 May 2007
Actor/writer/director Tom Hanks releases his hit movie That Thing You Do! to DVD in an Extended Cut edition. The 2-disc set also provides the original theatrical release of the film. This will be good news to parents, who may want to share this version of the movie with their children because the new, unrated, extra-length version now includes a lot more potential content concerns.
Other bonus materials (most of which are found on the second disc) include a commentary by actors Tom Everett Scott, Jonathon Schaech, Steve Zahn, Ethan Embry and Liv Tyler, and some naval-gazing featurettes, such as Making That Thing You Do!, The Story Of The Wonders, The Wonders - Big In Japan!, and a HBO First Look documentary. In That Thing You Do! Reunion, the principle cast members gather together to reminisce about the movie (and Tom Everett Scott shares his thoughts while doing the love scene with Ms. Theron). Title Song Submissions, Josh Clayton's music video Feel Alright and the movie trailers round out the offerings.
Audio tracks are available in English (Dolby Digital 5.1and DTS 5.1), French (Dolby Digital 2.0 Surround) and Spanish (Dolby Digital 2.0 Surround).
Related home video titles:
The climb to music industry fame is a common theme in movies. Look for it in Dreamgirls and Ray (based on the life of Ray Charles). The Ambassador Hotel, where the band stays while in LA, has a famous history that is touched upon in the movie Bobby (a recounting of the assassination of Bobby Kennedy).

"Cassandra" is the name of a highly distributable "nosql" database developed in Java by Facebook. This database was released to the public through the Apache project in July 2008 as "Apache Cassandra" and is one of the more popular on-premises (or cloud) distributed databases today.
Like many other "nosql" databases, Cassandra offers simple name-value pair storage, although there are both row-like and column-like concepts in play.
Like many other distributed databases, Cassandra makes use of the concept of "eventually consistency". The general concept is that, in a quiet state, all nodes will "eventually" get all updates from all other nodes and will the entire dataset will be "consistent" across all nodes.
However, it is the behavior of this "eventually consistent" database when things are NOT quiet that give it its scalable power: applications built on top of individual nodes of this database must continue to function and must respond to later information gracefully enough to prevent interruptions of end user service (which would otherwise be caused waiting for a single master table to receive all updates).
Cassandra uses timestamps to reconcile distributed commits – another concept common in distributed databases but one that obviously depends on good timekeeping on far-flung nodes.
Cassandra is frequently wrapped by a data type encapsulation layer or an object serialization layer (such as Thrift) to provide applications with a richer data storage experience than simple name-value pairs.
For more information about WHY and WHEN to use Cassandra or another nosql database, please see Andy White's "Why Cassandra" article.
To learn how to install and use Cassandra on your own system, please see my "Installing and Running the Cassandra Database" article.

The Learning Center requires 10 energy to build, and then asks you to collect building materials to finish it off:
- 5 Dino Skull
- 5 Coral
- 5 Entry Tickets
- 5 Painting
- 5 Periscopes
Finishing this first level of the Learning Center gives you four storage slots for education, library or museum community buildings. It can be upgraded to hold up to eight buildings, but you'll need to collect plenty of additional building materials in the process: eight each of Pinwalls, Seismographs, Telescopes, Info Booths and Plasma Globes.
When you completely finish off the Learning Center, you'll get a "Wonder" bonus, giving you three minutes to claim all sorts of boosts from businesses and homes around your town. This bonus can only be activated once. Good luck finishing off your entire Learning Center!

Mall Adoptions: Shelters expand into retail locations
When Camille Limongelli and her boyfriend Ted Drummond decided to bring a new puppy into their home, they knew exactly where to find one: the mall. Specifically, the Freehold Raceway Mall in Freehold, N.J., an upscale retail paradise that includes everything from Victoria's Secret to Abercrombie & Fitch, known locally as a puppy mecca. In fact, when the couple arrived, they found themselves...

The McKee Project's innovative methods forge new bonds to help Latin America's animals
Over the past decade, as Christine Crawford has been developing her unique animal welfare model and rolling it out across Costa Rica, she has noticed some significant changes. For starters, these days, it's rare to see a dog lying dead along the highway, and the dogs she encounters are generally much healthier than they used to be. At the same time, she's seen a host of new veterinary clinics...

Moving on up North to new homes
Most Monday afternoons, a van arrives at Animal Shelter, Inc., in Sterling, Mass., with a rare and coveted cargo: mixed-breed puppies. The 30 to 40 dogs that are unloaded come in all shapes and sizes, and display traces of most major dog types, from Hounds and Heelers to Shepherds, Labs and Collies. These pups—who are moments away from nail clipping, fecal testing, and blood work, and hours away...

FACECAGE, the Iowa-based metal act whose latest CD was produced by SLIPKNOT/STONE SOUR frontman Corey Taylor, will once again work with Taylor on their upcoming album. Corey first worked with FACECAGE when he snapped them up for his Great Big Mouth Records indie imprint and produced the album "Facecage III". Taylor will be reprising his role as producer for the new record and will be pushing the band to new horizons.FACECAGE was previously described by Taylor as containing "the heaviness of SEPULTURA, the groove of [BLACK] SABBATH, the dark melodies of the Midwest and the drive of one hundred bands from either coast." Said Taylor of the band, "I've seen them work very hard, go through various changes, pay their dues and become a great band over the years. I'm very proud of them. Success doesn't come without sweat." "Facecage III" was recorded in Taylor's hometown of Des Moines, Iowa thoughout the fall and winter of 2005. When asked about the final product, Taylor previously commented: "I think it's the perfect result of a tremendous bands evolution from being in the basement with dreams to expanding, learning and honing their craft as an organic musical entity. In layman's terms, they kick ass like never before on this album." Taylor added, "There are so many great moments on this album that it's hard to pick out a single track. 'Weakness Inside You' has that epic feeling from top to bottom, 'Drill Bits' makes you want to drive your car into a fucking wall, and let's not even DISCUSS what 'Nothing But Contempt' makes me want to do!"
FACECAGE Taps SLIPKNOT's COREY TAYLOR For Upcoming Album

Lil Kim is a rapper, singer-songwriter, author, record producer and actress. She was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, living much of her adolescent life on the streets after being expelled from home. As a teenager, Lil Kim would rap for fun, being heavily influenced by actress/singer Diana Ross, and fellow female hip-hop artists like MC Lyte and Lady of Rage.
When word got to The Notorious B.I.G. that Lil Kim could rhyme, he made her perform a freestyle for him on the spot. Impressed with her, he took her in and she began her music career in 1995 with the group Junior M.A.F.I.A., whose debut album Conspiracy generated three hit singles.
Lil' Kim's debut studio album, Hard Core (1996) was certified Double Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and spawned three consecutive #1 rap hits: "No Time", "Not Tonight (Ladies Night remix)", and "Crush on You", a record for a female rapper. Her following albums, The Notorious K.I.M. (2000) and La Bella Mafia (2003), were certified Platinum, making her the only female rapper besides Missy Elliott to have at least 3 platinum albums.
Lil Kim was featured on the single, "Lady Marmalade", which also had guest vocals by fellow recording artists Mýa, Pink and Christina Aguilera (a remake of the 1975 smash hit, originally recorded by LaBelle) which went to #1 on the US Billboard Hot 100, making her the first female rapper to have a #1 on that chart. In addition, the remake won two MTV Video Music Awards including Video of the Year, and a Grammy Award for Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals at the 44th Grammy Awards in 2002.
In 2005, Lil Kim served a yearlong prison sentence for lying to a jury about her friends' involvement in a shooting four years earlier. During her incarceration, her fourth album The Naked Truth was released. She returned to the public eye in 2009 with an appearance on Dancing with the Stars.
In 1998, Lil Kim was announced as the face for the fashion brand Candie's. She became the first and only rapper to date to endorse the brand. In 2000, Kim signed a deal with fashion house Iceberg, and also with cosmetics brand MAC to help endorse their VIVA GLAM line of lipsticks and lip glosses alongside singer Mary J. Blige. The MAC VIVA GLAM III campaign, which was built around a plum-brown lipstick, helped raise $4 million for the company in one year and became the most successful VIVA GLAM campaign to date. Due to the success, the two signed on for a second year.
Lil Kim also modeled for the urban fashion line Baby Phat in August, 2000. In March, 2001, Kim, along with several other artists, featured in a commercial for Apple's Mac computers. It highlighted how users can burn custom CD's on their Mac. In 2003, Kim became the spokesperson for American clothing brand Old Navy. That same year her song "The Jump Off" was used in a commercial for AOL's dial up Internet service.
In 2004 it was announced that Lil Kim would launch a designer watch collection titled Royalty by Lil' Kim. Jeweler Jacob Arabo manufactured the watches. She also debuted her first clothing line, entitled Hollyhood. Kim also lent her voice to the video game Def Jam: Fight for NY which she was featured in.
In 2005, Lil Kim collaborated on a shoe line with high end shoe store Petite Peton. In August 2010, Kim signed a deal with Three Olives Vodka to become the face for their Purple vodka. In September of that same year Kim, along with her cousin cousin Katrise Jones, opened their first beauty salon in Charlotte, North Carolina. The salon, titled Salon Se Swa, currently has 5 locations across the United States with locations coming soon in Atlanta, GA and New York. That same month, Kim also launched her second clothing line entitled 24/7 Goddess Collection at Charlotte NC Fashion Week. In November, 2012, Kim began endorsing Cîroc vodka, announcing herself as the "First Lady" of the brand.

5.1-magnitude Canadian earthquake felt by many in NEPA
TORONTO (AP) — Earthquakes Canada is reporting a 5.1-magnitude earthquake just west of Ottawa that was felt by several people in Scranton.
The federal agency that monitors earthquakes revised its original report, saying it registered a 5.1-magnitude temblor with an epicenter located about 21 kilometers (13 miles) northeast of Shawville, Quebec, about an hour's drive outside Ottawa.
Twitter erupted with reports of buildings shaking in Ottawa for several seconds. Ontario's premier, who lives in Toronto, tweeted that her house was shaking.
Ontario Provincial Police in Arnprior, Ontario, not far from the epicenter, say they have received no reports of damage.
The original report said a 4.8-magnitude quake was centered near the town of Braeside, Ontario.

Elect the president
In the 2000 presidential election, Al Gore won the nationwide popular vote but lost the presidency to George W. Bush in the Electoral College following a U.S. Supreme Court ruling on Florida's disputed ballot count. It was the fourth time in U.S. history that a president had won the electoral vote after losing the popular vote. Today, the debate continues over how we....
Eight years ago, I appeared before the nonpartisan commission on election reform that former Presidents Jimmy Carter and Gerald Ford convened after the election debacle of 2000. My mission was to urge the commissioners to include reform of the Electoral College on their agenda.
Amid the chaos of the Florida recount the previous fall, I was struck by the fact that few Americans bothered to ask why the outcome of a national election would hinge on the statistically trivial swing of a few hundred votes out of the 6 million cast in Florida. As a historian, I knew that presidential election was an issue that vexed the framers of the Constitution down to their final days of debate, and I believed that their last-minute improvisation of the Electoral College was not one of those decisions to which we owe any great respect. If ever there was a moment when a prestigious national commission might recommend reconsidering a key provision of the Constitution, I thought, this must be it.
A fool's errand
President Carter was quick to let me know I had come cross-country on a fool's errand. Although kind enough to introduce me as "a good friend" (after I told him my father had been one of his delegates back in 1980), Carter dismissed my plea out of hand. Talking about changing the Electoral College "is a waste of time," he scoffed. "I predict that 200 years from now, we will still have the Electoral College."
Carter's skepticism rested on the belief that any serious change in our system of presidential election would take a constitutional amendment, which requires two-thirds approval in both houses of Congress and ratification by three-fourths of the states. The conventional wisdom holds that the least populous states would block any such amendment, in the belief that they or their constituents would somehow lose influence if our state-based system of election was replaced by a true popular vote. Under the current rules, each state gets two electoral votes for its two senators, making the leveraged value of our individual votes inversely proportional to the population of the state where we live. (Or to put it more simply, the smaller the state, the more your presidential vote is worth in the electoral scale.)
True, back in 2001 a few members of Congress did support a constitutional amendment to replace the Electoral College with a genuine national popular vote. But their interest in this idea proved short-lived.
At the Constitutional Convention of 1787, one of the more contentious questions the nation's Founding Fathers faced was how to elect the president. One faction held fast for the president's election by Congress; the other for direct vote of the people. In the end, the Founders settled on a compromise – what only later became known as the Electoral College. But the question of how best to elect the president continues to this day. Below are some of the reasons why:
1960: John F. Kennedy
Following a disputed popular vote that Democrat John F. Kennedy officially won, but which many historians believe was actually won by Republican Richard M. Nixon, Kennedy won the White House with a solid majority in the Electoral College.
1984: Walter Mondale
Democrat Walter Mondale won 40.6 percent of the popular vote in a landslide loss to Republican Ronald Reagan's 58.8 percent, but Mondale won just 2 percent of the Electoral College vote.
2000: Al Gore
Democrat Al Gore carried the popular vote with a plurality of 48.4 percent to Republican George Bush's 47.9 percent. But Bush won the presidency in the Electoral College by five votes following a U.S. Supreme Court ruling in his favor regarding the disputed vote and recount in Florida.

If you walk into an electronics store it won't take but ten minutes to see that high definition is now everywhere. You can only buy high definition TVs, high definition camcorders are over abundant, computer monitors are now taking on standard high definition resolutions, and even our tiny smartphones are going HD! Despite all this, there is still a small market of standard definition products to be found out there. Why? Older technology is cheap and can help you save a dime on a tight budget. Here today I have one of Samsung's latest standard definition camcorders, the SMX-F50.

In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), American Promotional Events Inc., doing business as TNT, of Florence, Ala., is voluntarily recalling about 4,000 Party Poppers. The Party Popper is a rocket-shaped device that shoots into the air when the string is pulled. The cone-shaped top can pop off rapidly, and can hit and injure both children and adults.
CPSC and TNT have not received any reports of incidents involving the Party Poppers. This recall is being conducted to prevent the possibility of injury.
The recalled Party Poppers are packaged in units of four. The Party Poppers were sold in clear cellophane wrappers with blue, yellow and red cardboard headers. The Party Poppers and the packaging are labeled "TNT BIG FUN PARTY POPPER." The Party Poppers are shaped like rockets with 3 1/2-inch wooden support sticks.
Wal-Mart stores sold these Party Poppers nationwide from January 2003 through March 2003 for about $2.

Got a minute?
Got a minute?
Think about the last terrible job you had. (For your sake, we'll hope it's not the one you have right now.) Why did you stay? If you're like most of us, it was because you were afraid to give up a "sure thing." There's just one problem with that: most experts will tell you that job security no longer exists.
(Photo Credit: v1ctor/Flickr)
"For many of us, the thing that keeps us firmly rooted in our jobs -- our 'safety net,' if you will -- isn't the traditional lure of an employer pension or 401(k)," writes Kim Keating on Levo League. "It's the idea that we should stay in a job (or field) because otherwise, we'll end up on the street. ...But in my work as a career coach, I tell people that if you're staying where you are because you think it's the safe move, you just might be doing the least safe thing for your career."
Workers in the U.S. now stay at their jobs for a median of 4.4 years, thanks to a volatile job market and changing cultural expectations. While that's nerve-wracking for folks who prefer to stay put, the good news is that switching jobs more frequently allows us to develop new skills and follow our passions -- and avoid getting stuck in a career that no longer fulfills us.
"This is not your father's job market," writes Joe Issid at Monster.com "Long gone are the company lifers from yesteryear who spent their entire careers in a single position within a single company. Today, we're living in an age of job promiscuity, where regularly changing jobs is not just tolerated, but encouraged."
If you want to jump on the job change train, the best way to do it is with caution:
1. Don't change jobs too often.
While it's true that no one retires with their gold watch anymore, employers are still distrustful of workers who have too many gaps -- or short stints -- on their resumes. Try to avoid changing jobs more than once a year, or every year for long stretches.
2. Build your skill set.
Technical skills are increasingly valuable, even for workers who aren't in geek-oriented fields. When you're considering where you want to go next, keep an eye out for valuable skills that will move your resume to the top of the stack.
3. Don't jump just to jump.
If you love your job, and don't want to leave, don't make a change for change's sake. Keep developing your CV by acquiring new skills, and seek out responsibilities where you are. When it comes time to make a change, you'll be able to show that you've been growing while staying put.
