Nadya was born in Moscow, Russia where she attained a degree in Fine Arts. Soon after she completed her university degree Nadya became an Accountant with a large Russian company where she ended up staying for eleven years. While she was there, she rotated through various job positions within the accounting department, but when she tried out a payroll position, she found that it was her passion. She worked for the payroll department for six years.
Two years ago, her family decided to make the move to Canada. They spent time adjusting to Canadian customs but after a brief adjustment period, she knew it was time to search for a job. After a tireless search, Nadya realized that Canadian Accounting and Payroll systems work differently than the systems of her home country; they require a specialized education. She already knew she wanted to continue working in the Payroll field so she began to research.
Nadya researched various public and private schools in the Lower Mainland. She found that many public schools have very long programs and preferred to find a shorter program since she already had six years of experience. When she found Brighton College, she arranged for a visit and soon after meeting with an advisor and touring the campus, she decided Brighton was the school that best suited her needs.
"I feel that I made the correct choice in choosing Brighton College" Nadya commented. "My experience was very positive. 90% of my success is because of the instructors, they were just great. Honestly, I had gone in with lower expectations, but I was so surprised at the level of professionalism and intelligence I found at Brighton College."
Nadya was hired shortly after completion of her Computerized Accounting Diploma. She is now a Payroll Manager at White Spot's Head Office!
Congratulations Nadya!
Carol came to Canada 5 years ago from Beijing, China with a degree in International Business. She had previous experience working as an educational consultant but when she came to Canada she decided that she wished to work within her field of study once again. To aid in learning English, Carol worked in the food and beverage industry for 2 years which she said really helped pick up the language.
When Carol felt she had outgrown her food and beverage job she went looking for a way to get back into the International Business sector in Canada. "I wanted to find a more professional job away from typical labour jobs," she said. "I think having a local diploma is useful for finding this kind of job" referring to her newly acquired job as a Distribution Agent for Expeditors Canada.
Brighton College was ideal for Carol for a few reasons: It had a revered practicum program and it was intensive; she learned a lot in a shorter period of time than she could have at other schools.
"The instructor was very experienced, friendly and reachable. I could ask him questions any time and always get an answer. Also, I found that the employment coordinator I worked with was really excellent. She helped me a lot!"
Carol took her practicum with Expeditors Canada for 7 weeks. Upon her initial completion date after 4 weeks, unfortunately, the company had no job openings so she decided she would stick around as a practicum worker in case something opened up and only 3 weeks later it did! Carol was hired! She has worked with the company consistently since then and just moved into a new department working as a Distribution Agent. "It's a challenging job, but that's why I like it more!"
Thanks to Carol for taking time out of her day to show us around her office and a huge thank you to everyone at Expeditors Canada for being so kind to us while we were visiting!
Going through a career change at any point in one's life can be scary. At a point in her life when most in her position would be winding down their career, Michele Rhame decided it was time for a change.
Born and raised in Canada, Michele enjoyed her work with the TB Vets of Canada. In her time there she took on various roles but found that her favourite place to be was in the shipping department surrounded by incoming and outgoing shipments bound for places all over British Columbia. Eventually when the company was forced to downsize she began working with Work BC to find a proper career path that both excited and challenged her.
Through her Work BC research, Rhame found that her best course of action was to get certified for her dream job. She soon embarked upon a new adventure in search of an educational facility that could get her working fast! She knew she wanted to be involved in a career that involved international distribution and with her research found that Vancouver's import and export industry is growing with excellent opportunities for employment. She found Brighton College's 36 weeks International Trade and Freight Forwarding Diploma and soon decided this was the program for her.
"Terry is phenomenal," Rhame said of instructor Terry Grey. "His finesse, his way of expressing the information… he doesn't sound like a textbook at all. He uses his personal experiences in the industry to get students interested." Michele particularly enjoyed that the classes were smaller and more intimate, but believe me; Michele's personality would stand out in any classroom ten times the size.
We met Michele at her workplace at Panalpina. This company is a key player in providing supply chain solutions in the trade industry. With an office in the heart of downtown Vancouver, Michele gets to enjoy a beautiful view of the coastal mountains right from her desk.
Everyone at Panalpina had wonderful things to say about Michele, who had recently been hired after her practicum for a full-time position in ocean freight documentation. We were given a full tour of the office and an overview of her daily tasks working in ocean import and export. Michele also mentioned that "the company is like a perfect marriage for what I learned at Brighton. Things I learned in class are directly applicable to my new job!"
"I really would recommend this program to anyone and everyone. It helps you get your certifications and I even got a job out of it!"
We would like to thank Michele for taking the time out of her busy work day to meet with us and to Panalpina for allowing us to see behind the scenes of their bustling office!
"When I came to Canada, I just knew a little about AutoCAD and knew nothing about the B.C. Building Code. I worked in a structural steel detailing company but my knowledge is limited until I found Brighton College where I took up "Civil Infrastructure Design Technology" program that made me excel in AutoCAD and acquire knowledge in the B.C. Building Code, Structural Analysis & Design, Urban Municipal Service Design, as well as Surveying & Road Design. Now that I have work experience in a structural consulting company for more than 2 years, I got my designation as a registered AScT. I would be glad to recommend Brighton College to others."
"Before I came to Canada, I was a structural engineer with more than ten years of experience in structural design. I moved to Canada in 2007 and I used to work in a food company because it was very difficult to find a suitable job for me. I decided to go back to school and take the AutoCAD program.
Brighton College's program was perfect for me and the class schedule was very flexible. During my training at Brighton College, I learned a lot about BC building codes and new drafting skills.
My teacher Edward found me a great work experience term at IRC Building Science Group and after graduation, they offered me to be a part of their team! I work as an AutoCAD technician and I am very happy with my job."
I was a consultant in Toronto and when I moved to Vancouver, I was looking for a change in career and stumbled upon International Trade and Freight Forwarding with high employment rate after graduation. Realizing the importance of trade and Vancouver being a port city, I knew this was the industry for me. After researching different schools, I attended an information session at Brighton College and was given the opportunity to attend a class in session. With flexible class schedules and a fun atmosphere, enrollment was an easy decision.
My overall experience at Brighton was fantastic. I certainly benefited from the up-to-date and relevant curriculum offered. I was adamant in choosing a career in an industry where the curriculum met the requirement of today's economy and this program did not disappoint. And the fact that it offered a work experience component was a huge bonus. I learned ropes of the trade first hand and got hands-on experience at one of the largest freight forwarding companies in Richmond. The icing on the cake is that I went from finishing my work experience term to full-time employment without delay!
I really enjoyed interacting with all the staff including the executive members. Not only did I find them knowledgeable, but also very down to earth and friendly. One of the things that I benefited from the most was the fact that classes were interactive and participation was highly encouraged. After all, what you put into it is what you get out of it! The ever so engaging and enthusiastic instructor made every class fun to attend.
Whether you are looking for a change in career or wanting to get Canadian credential for your existing career, the staff is there to help you choose what's right for you. At no time I felt pressured into making my decision.
Before coming to Canada in 1999, I graduated from a university in South China and I had worked as a project technician for three years. After arriving in Canada I completed my studies at UBC and I worked for BC Hydro as a project coordinator for two years. I was laid off in 2009 and was looking for new job opportunities. When my friend introduced me to Brighton College I was excited to find out that the construction and drafting technician diploma program taught students how to use some new technologies such as Civil 3D, advanced AutoCAD, and Revit.
Brighton College provides an excellent study environment including intensive courses and flexible schedules. When I completed my diploma program in April 2011, I was placed at one Associated Engineering Firm in Burnaby to do my work experience term and after one month of working there, I became a full-time employee in that firm. During my time at Brighton College, I met many new friends from different cultures and was able to enjoy many different social activities. I would definitely recommend Brighton College to others.
Before coming to Canada I completed my Bachelor's Degree in Civil Engineering and for six years I had been working in the Civil Engineering industry. In 2009 I lost my job as a civil engineering draftsperson. I tried to find another job in the same or similar area for months but I didn't have any luck. Then I decided to join Brighton College to update my technical skills.
I had a very good experience at Brighton College. I learned a lot of new practical technical skills. The program was intensive and provided me with the opportunity to learn a lot in a short period of time. The classes were small and there was a lot of engagement and interaction with the teachers. My instructor was extremely knowledgeable and he found me an excellent work experience term in a civil engineering firm. After I graduated I was immediately hired by an engineering company. If you see your future in the Civil Infrastructure Technology, Brighton College is the place to go.
I got my accounting diploma in China 20 years ago. I worked for several companies over 15 years. I wanted to give my child good education, so I came to Canada 5 years ago. I tried to look for a job in my field. But soon I realized that without local education and local experience, I had little chances to get employed. Therefore, I decided to enroll in Brighton College Computerized Accounting and Office Diploma.
My favourite teacher was Colin. He was very professional and engaging. I was also lucky to have a great Employment coordinator Katy who helped me write an excellent resume and taught me job search skills. I got enough confidence and knowledge to be able to find an accounting job right after the completion of my work experience term.
"Before coming to Canada I was an Electrical Design Engineer in China and I had just completed my Master's degree.
I moved to Canada in 2005 with my family. I decided to attend Brighton College to update my skills and to improve my chances of getting a job. I had a very good experience at Brighton College. The staff was friendly and experienced. One of the major attractions for me was the flexibility of the class schedule. I formed a nice study group early on and we were all a great support for each other. My teacher Edward gave me responsibilities, guided me and taught me a lot. He also helped me with my job search. After graduating I was immediately offered a job at CWA Engineering Firm. I will certainly miss all the wonderful people I have met at Brighton College."
"I went to Brighton College to gain added computer skills specifically in network administration. What I got was a lot more. Their team of experts has created both an excellent learning environment and a support network for my computer development needs. I freely recommend them to anyone that is interested in the network administration."
I came to Canada in 1997 with my parents because my home country, Serbia, was involved in war. I got my schooling in Robert Land Academy, Ontario. When I decided to further my education, I was attracted to International Trade and Freight Forwarding Program at Brighton College because it appeared to be a fast track to a career in very exciting field.
Not only was it the duration of the program, but also the small class size and the general atmosphere that made my experience in Brighton college an outstanding experience. Professional and approachable teachers supported me throughout my studies. At my work experience term with Livingstone International, I was exposed to the real world of International Trade by working alongside a customs broker.
As a participant in a job search program provided by the college, I was invited for a mock interview to a logistics company, which turned out to be a real job interview: they offered me a position of a traffic broker!
"I had a very positive experience at Brighton College, with professional and helpful instructors. I graduated from the Accounting Program with excellent marks and a Canadian Payroll Certificate. During my program, I was placed in a work experience term with a local accounting firm who offered me a job after graduation.
I will always be grateful for the training and encouragement that I received from Brighton College."
"Before coming to Canada four years ago, I completed my Bachelors Degree in Construction. After moving to Canada I worked in a warehouse and I was learning English at the same time. I decided to join Brighton College because I wanted to acquire new skills.
I had a very good experience at Brighton College, and I learned everything about the local construction industry. Brighton College had a friendly environment, very encouraging instructors, and support staff. At the end of my program, I was sent to a construction management company in Vancouver to do my work experience term. Shortly after my term, I found a great job with a local company!
Thank you Brighton College!"
I moved to Vancouver from Ottawa where I worked at a mobility aid store. I was drawn to Brighton College because of the flexible schedule and the programs it offered. The friendly staff gave me some great advice which helped me choose the right program. The International Trade and Freight Forwarding Program best suited my skills and interests. All the teachers made studying a beneficial and enjoyable experience. Not only did I become certified in the International Trade industry, but I also gained a college diploma! After graduating, I was offered a contract at a commercial lease & finance company owned by Scotia Bank, where I am currently employed as a client service coordinator.
"My instructor at Brighton College did a great job, not only presenting the material, but also teaching it. He related the concepts well to the things we previously covered so we were building on our knowledge base. He also included topics that have proven useful from his experience in the industry. I'm very pleased. Thanks!
The instructors at Brighton College are excellent. They prepared me for a future in Computer Aided Drafting and Design. Through Brighton College's work experience program, I was able to get a hands-on view of Drafting and my new career. Thank you, Brighton College."
"Before attending Brighton College I competed in many international athletic events. I won a bronze medal in discus throwing at the 2006 Commonwealth Games in Melbourne Australia, and even competed in the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. My goal is to get gold at the next Commonwealth Games.
For right now my focus is on school though. I wanted to get high-quality training in a field I would love, so Brighton College was a good choice! I am currently attending the International Trade program at Brighton, which is providing me with globally recognized FITT qualifications. I am very excited about this program because I speak 5 different languages and used to work as a translator of Danish and Swedish in Denmark, so I am happy to study Importing and Exporting. The program has been very interesting so far and everyone has been great; I know the training I am learning here will help me with my future."
"I came to Canada 4 years ago with a background in civil engineering and I couldn't find a job without Canadian certification and experience in Vancouver. I always wanted to upgrade the knowledge in my field with AutoCAD and civil engineering design that's why I went to Brighton College.
During my time there I studied Construction Estimating, AutoCAD, Architectural Desktop, Land Development Desktop, Health, and Safety Construction. I'm really enjoying the subjects.
There's nothing too difficult in the program. All the teachers are great, they inspire us, help with our assignments, always help with job finding, and give us useful advice.
My classmates were amazing. There were about 15 students in my class. There were 5 students from my country, Iran, and students from other countries such as Africa, and the Philippines. It's a good and fun experience to study with different people of different nationalities. I found a lot of good friends."
Prior to immigrating to Canada in 1996, Mei Mei was a computer programmer in Taiwan. Though she very much enjoyed her life in Taiwan, she decided on the move to Canada in hopes of providing her children with a better educational environment. Upon resuming her career as a programmer, she unfortunately incurred challenges and began weighing her career options. She ultimately sought to attend Brighton College upon the advice of a good friend who attended the college and subsequently secured an excellent job.
Mei Mei describes the staff and instructors at Brighton College as helpful and friendly, always doing their best to meet the individual needs of all students. She also indicates that the college provided her with relevant skills and knowledge to meet current labour market demands. "Thank you Brighton College! You made my life much easier!"
Prior to immigrating to Canada in 2010, Jayantha was a Mechanical Engineer with more than 27 years of experience, including as a Managing Director. His sole reason for coming to Canada was to give his childhood exposure to the Canadian culture. His job search turned out to be a challenging task, having sent out more than 400 resumes. A friend of Jayantha suggested he gain Canadian credentials and recommended that he sought information on the AutoCAD Drafting and Design Specialist program at Brighton College.
He eventually enrolled in the program. He states "superb" as the one word to describe his experience, noting the friendliness and helpfulness of both the staff and the instructors. He also acknowledges the friendships he built with his classmates. Brighton College provided a "home atmosphere".
Arriving in Vancouver in 2001, Alwin accepted a retail position at a 7-Eleven. Following the decision to return to the profession in which he once worked as a Civil Engineer, he happily accepted an offer to attend the Civil Infrastructure Design Technology program at Brighton College. Alwin stated that Brighton has instructors who are dedicated to student success, along with a supportive team of staff who are accommodating and helpful. He further commented that the program delivered a relevant and up-to-date curriculum and provided him with the valuable experience of a work experience term.

I saw this tweet tonight and it punched me square in the face. Direct, to the point, and probably 100% accurate as we start to get final tallies across the country from last week's election. Romney's thoughts on loss show his myopic dedication to data over conveying meaning. #sigh — Amy(@CAAmyO) November 15, 2012 more

I've been printing patterns this week, and one of my favorites, CUT GLASS DISHES, brought a smile to my face. I love the intricacy of this design (and yes, there really is a quilt block called Cut Glass Dishes) with all its tiny triangles turning this way and that. Very much like the triangular cut edges of the pressed glass dishes popular in the '20s and '30s. Do you have some of them in your dish cupboard? Dishes that were handed down from relatives in your family? (You know... the ones that hold the pickle relish or stuffed olives for holiday dinners.)
Anyway, I pulled out the model of this design, and was studying it again. Here's what the triangles look like up close; rather confusing in all their twists and turns (so you have to concentrate row by row) but so very pleasing when completed:
I love, love, love the colors of this piece - using Watercolours 139 - "Kelp" with buttery yellows and soft sea greens. Looking at this piece also reminded me of some of my favorite books, the "Darling Dahlia" series by Susan Wittig Albert.
If you haven't read them (and you really must!), the Darling Dahlias are a women's gardening group in Darling, Alabama in the 1930s. In this fun "cozy" mystery series, the author beautifully recreates the atmosphere of those Great Depression times, and I especially enjoy reading her descriptions of the clothes, gardens, and recipes of those days. To me, reading these books are sort of like jumping into a tiny time machine, and revisiting old friends...
And something else you may find interesting: the author, Susan Albert, is herself a stitcher and often finds time to stitch in the evenings, when the workday is done -- just like so many of us! So if you're looking for a charming series of books to read and enjoy, I highly recommend Susan Albert's Darling Dahlia books.... and if you want a nostalgic project to work on while you read them, please consider my CUT GLASS DISHES!

Maps For School Developers
CCSA has created a series of maps designed to support developers as they explore potential sites for their schools. The maps illustrate under-enrollment, free- or reduced-price lunch rates, and school performance as captured by the Academic Performance Index.
Maps for School Developers
Understanding community needs and assets is one of the first steps in the school development process. Using publicly available data from the California Department of Education, CCSA has created a series of maps designed to support developers as they explore potential locations for their schools. Three maps are currently available:
- Academic Performance: Whether you are searching for an area with high need for a school or writing your petition and developing a case for the need for your school, use this map to view Academic Performance Indices (API) for district schools and charter schools.
- School Enrollment: If you are working to understand where enrollment has decreased within a given district or which schools might have open space, start with the School Enrollment map, which draws on enrollment information for the last six academic years.
- Free or Reduced Price Meals: If it is your mission to serve a high need population or you are in the process of making sense of the Charter School Facilities Program, this map can serve as a starting point for identifying areas where there are high rates of students who qualify for free or reduced price meals.
All of these maps are in beta and are based on data produced by the California Department of Education. As a result, we cannot make guarantees about the accuracy of the data and encourage you to verify it before using it for any critical purpose. Potential sources for verifying information about a particular school include the California Department of Education's Dataquest tool and the Education Data Partnership.
Use the zoom bar on the left of each map to hone in on a location and click on the flags to learn more about a particular school.
If you have questions or corrections pertaining to these maps, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
API (Academic Performance Index) Scores
The Academic Performance Map is intended to help developers identify areas where higher and lower performing schools are located, as indicated by their Academic Performance Index Scores. This information could be used as a starting point for research into potential need for a school in a given area. This map illustrates the 2012 Growth API Scores of charter schools and district schools.
Schools are assigned flags according to their API Scores:
Data sources:
- Public Schools Database (TXT), California Department of Education
- 2012 Growth API Data File (DBF), California Department of Education
Decreases in School Enrollment
This map highlights district schools that have experienced a decrease in enrollment during the last five years.* To derive the level of this decrease, we identified the maximum of the number of students enrolled at each school between the 2011-2012 and 2006-2007 school years, then subtracted enrollment for the 2011-12 school year.
This map might be used as a starting point for school developers to identify potential facilities for co-location. It is important to emphasize that the decrease in enrollment may or may not indicate under-enrollment; for example, the school may have been overcrowded at its peak, additional space may currently be in use in a different way, or part of the facility may be unsafe for use. Developers will need to do further research to understand the status of any given facility.
On this map, schools are assigned circles of varying colors according to the level of the decrease in enrollment:
Data Source:
- Public Schools Database (TXT), California Department of Education
*Charter public schools are not included on this map.
Free or Reduced Price Meal Levels
This map highlights the levels of students who qualify for free or reduced price meals (FRPM) at schools across the state.
Developers may use these maps as a starting point for research that seeks to identify areas with particular FRPM concentrations as well as areas that might be suited for the Charter School Facility Grant Program.
The Charter School Facility Grant Program provides funding assistance to charter schools for rent and lease expenditures that meet specific eligibility criteria. To be eligible charter schools must serve a student population with at least 70 percent of their pupils eligible for free or reduced price meals (FRPM), or they must be physically located in the attendance area of a public elementary school with 70 percent or more FRPM qualified students. Charter schools may be reimbursed $750 per ADA or up to 75 percent of their total lease or rental costs, whichever amount is lower. Funds may not be used to purchase facilities or for lease/purchase agreements.
This map highlights elementary schools and their free or reduced price meal (FRPM) levels (indicated by a red flag with a star). Because this is such a critical source of funding reliant on accurate information and because this data point can fluctuate, we highly recommend using this map only as a starting point. Any and all rates and information should be verified before making any decisions.
In the map above, schools are assigned flags according to their FRPM rate:
Elementary schools are indicated with a star (*).

Every 19th of January, we remember the plight of Kashmiri Pandits. They witnessed a hysteric, macabre night 26 years ago in the form of blaring threats and slogans, asking them to flee their homeland, convert or die.
From Delhi to Mumbai to Jammu, Kashmiri Pandits staged protests today as they called for return to home claiming they remained refugees in their own country. They said the government has done little to help their cause because they are not a vote bank.
Talking to India Today on the fight for injustices meted out to Kashmiri Pandits, actor Anupam Kher said that being a minority, Kashmiri Pandits were of no purpose to politicians. The plight of the community was a not a vote bank issue and thus, failed to get the traction they deserved.
"We don't count, we are not a vote bank. All political parties have failed them when it came to rehabilitation," Anupam Kher said.
"26 years has been a long period. Kashmiri Pandits continue to live in fear, in tents and refugee camps. No one has bothered about them and no concrete development has taken place," the actor added.
On whether it was turning into a Hindu-Muslim one, Anupam Kher said that the issue concerned only the Hindus and not the Muslims.
"Hindus were thrown out of Kashmir, not the Muslims. Hindus were largely targeted and killed and then the exodus began. You should not balance it by saying that it is now becoming a Hindu-Muslim issue," he said.
When asked why isn't the community returning back to Kashmir despite being asked by the government, Anupam Kher said, "Those who were a witness to the tragedy continue to live in fear. So if they are not ready to go back, it is quite justifiable."
However, in contrary to Kher's response, Sanjay Tickoo, President of Kashmiri Pandit Sangarsh Samiti (KPSS), said that he felt safe and secured.
"I feel safe and secured. Else, I wouldn't have been talking to you on the issue," he said.
Author Siddhartha Gigoo said that Kashmiri Pandits had become a mere hashtag.
Rashneek Kher, Founder of Roots in Kashmir, said that the plight of the pandits were beyond money. Monetary compensation could in no way solve the situation.

"BP: There's an interesting question that I think a lot of people are gonna ask, especially when this book is reprinted. The question is what happened to John Fante after Ask the Dust came out.
JF: Well, he pissed away a few years of his life playing golf, reading, dallying with another novel and then another novel. And sometimes selling a short story. His life was pretty much fragmented. And then he – at about the time that World War II broke out, he was working for Orson Welles, writing a picture for Orson, with Norman Foster, they were collaborating together. And Orson bought a story from John. And this was scheduled to be filmed immediately that particular Sunday, this was about 1940. And Orson Welles went to Brazil to film another segment of the picture. He was doing a picture called It's All True, they were four short stories he was going to film, and on this particular night in Brazil when he just arrived, he was standing on the balcony watching some great festivity that goes on in Brazil once a year, like at a carnival, and he stood at the edge of the balcony and peed on the people down below. And he was arrested, thrown in the clink, and ordered out of the country. And that was the end of that particular project."
"BP: Ferlinghetti publishes City Lights and he is Bukowski's publisher. I asked Bukowski after I read Ask the Dust, I said Look, will you do an introduction to this, because his name is very hot now and as I said, it would get it immediately into France and Germany. He said, I would love to do an introduction.
BP: So then I talked to Ferlinghetti on the phone and he gave me the same thing I had given Bukowski several years ago, you know that if he'd never heard of your name, it was impossible. But I know if I send him the book, first because he's an Italian and second because he knows good literature, it's going to knock him off his chair when he reads it. And that's just the beginning. I mean, there are all kinds of other backup things we can do. With Bukowski's name and a book like that –

So, here you are, wondering why you're even bothering to read this? Sometimes, I'm not sure if I should write this, but my writing skills feel rusty, and I need something to occupy the time.
I suppose you are wondering why I have such a 'chintzy' name, like I'm some sort of secret agent. Well, I think it's kind of cool, and this way, no one knows who I am, nor does anyone get hurt/mad/upset/sore/sad/angry/happy, well the list could go on.
Today, I'm sitting at home, which I occupy with other people. My husband is at work and my children are at school. And work comes later.
Work - well, there's another story. I would like to finish my RN schooling, but not sure how to go about it. We need money, and I need to work. Though, I must admit, I find the mundane day to day work horrific. Lets just say I work in the Customer Service field. It has its ups and downs, mostly being downs. Customers are can be real asshats.
I have two children, who will be referred to as 1 and 2. They are both fairly young. 1 is in school full time, and 2 is in school part time. I love being a mom, but I find, today, a lot of women define themselves as mothers. Like, in an introduction, 'I'm Sam, Seth's Mother' or screen names 'bryansmommy'. While I am a mother, I am many other things. I am woman, wife, child, sister, mother, person, human being(often a human going as well). There is more to myself then my children. I do not want to be a woman who's life revolves around my children (or my husband for that matter). I do not want to be depressed when my children leave the nest, and I have nothing left of myself. I will not lose myself to my children. Don't get me wrong, I love them, and there's nothing more important in this world then my kids, but I was someone before 1 and 2, I still am. I wish more then anything, not to forget myself.
So, dear reader, if you happen across this blog, and have actually read through my crap til here, thank you. Sit back, grab your cup of cofffee, or tea, as the case may be. Enjoy, and welcome to my world. I shall regal you with stories of heartache, happiness, tragedy, and life.
Thank you for letting me share a bit with you.

Thank you for taking the time to comment on my most "recent" post, and to give me a little 'nudge' to update my blog 'someyear'. I do appreciate that you could see where I was coming from with my frustration for China Arnold. So, I'll make you a deal:
I've added you to my blogroll, since you are clearly an eloquent and intelligent person. I'll make sure to check in on you to keep your blog updated 'someyear' if you do the same, and in the process, I promise not to define you as a function of your children.
Good stuff?

My Mom's Incredible Gift
My Mom's Incredible Gift
I need to assure you that every detail that I give you about what happened leading up to 2:00 AM, March 24, 2007 is exact.
Today is Saturday, March 24, 2007. At 2:00 AM, just two hours after midnight, my mom, Ruth Elizabeth Stoltie, passed away in Bayfront Hospital in St. Petersburg, Florida. As much as I believe in planning and preparing for life's trials, there are some that are overwhelming, no matter how much you may think you are prepared. I was ready, but this was still devastating for me.
It was just at 1:35 AM when our phone rang. My wife, Kim, and I had only been asleep for a bit more than an hour. The days before had been more emotionally draining for me than anything I had ever experienced. As a matter of fact, the real start of my emotional rollercoaster began on December 14, 2006. That day, it was after 4:00 AM when our phone rang. It was my mom. Her house is only fifteen minutes away, if I'm not pushing the car. Kim picked up the phone and Mom said, "I did it again. I'm on the floor in my bedroom and I need your help. I can't get up."
I threw on some clothes, jumped in the car, and raced to her house. This was not the first time my mom had fallen and needed help in the middle of the night. She had insisted long ago that I have a set of keys for her front door, since there were numerous times that I'd go to her house, and she would be physically unable to reach and unlock the door, so those keys got us in to find her still on the floor of her bedroom. She explained that on her way back to bed from the bathroom her knees had given out, and she had braced her back against the wall, allowing her to slowly slide down to the floor rather than falling. Dealing with diabetes and arthritis, and being much heavier than was healthy, she had only been able to reach a phone after hours of struggling, eventually pulling the phone down from her bedside night stand by swiping at the phone cord with one of her canes.
With Kim's help and every ounce of my strength, we got her back onto her bed. She told us that her knees were burning from being on the floor unable to move for so long. We set a drink by her bedside, tucked her in, gave her a kiss goodnight, and headed back home. But the next morning she called again, telling me that her knees were so swollen and painful that she couldn't get out of bed, asking if I would please come back and help her get up for the day. From that day on, she was no longer able to stand up on her own, and the only person on the planet she trusted to lift her to a standing position- was me.
Over the following two weeks, every morning before getting to the regular responsibilities of my day, I would drive to Mom's house to help her out of bed, get her to and from the bathroom, and make sure she was comfortable in her favorite chair with some food and her morning insulin shot. Some days my schedule could be altered to accommodate visiting in the afternoon, and other days I'd have to wait until early evening to get her back out of her chair and to the bathroom, and then again into the chair with some dinner. I'd return near 10:30 and get her to the bathroom one last time before tucking her into bed. The next day, we did it all over again.
Christmas Eve has always belonged to Mom. No matter what Kim, the kids, and I had going earlier on Christmas Eve, we would always end our evening celebrating at my mom's. Despite the strain of the situation we had a great night again. We opened presents and talked and laughed about old times, as she often loved to do. The night ended, I tucked her in, and first thing the next morning, Christmas morning, I drove back over and got her up to celebrate Christmas as my sister Susie and her kids took their turn to visit. I returned again near dinner and, of course, as the day came to a close, I returned to continue my new ritual of helping her get to bed. It was a great Christmas with her.
My mom was always a proud woman, and to find herself without mobility was really a devastating embarrassment. She felt ashamed. It took everything I had to persuade her to leave her house to go for a basic check-up at her doctor's office, but on the 28th of December, I prevailed. Amazingly, Kim and I, with the support, logic, and persuasion of Mom's Dr. Serag, were then able to convince Mom to go straight from Dr. Serag's office to the hospital for a complete and thorough evaluation. Two weeks later, on January 9th, I helped lift my mom out of her hospital bed, stand, get into a wheel chair, and she was transported and checked into a nursing home for rehabilitation. I was so hopeful then. Dr. Serag was certain that Mom could regain mobility, though she might not ever walk without a walker.
That's not the way it went. As strong willed a woman as Mom had always been, she never was great with physical discipline. Days went by with no real improvement. She seemed to be giving up. She would say things like, "Seventy-seven, that's a good number." I knew that she meant that she was seventy-seven years old, and ready to give up on life. It was a shattering message. She would again tell the story that she had told so many times over the last few years of the man down the street from her house who had been so lucky. One night he had just finished his favorite meal, sat back in his favorite recliner, and drifted off to the afterlife. I know Mom hoped and prayed that she would be granted that same painless passage for herself.
Days became weeks living in the nursing home, and my mom had yet to stand. The last time she was on her feet was when I lifted her out of her transport wheel chair to get into her nursing home bed. With such inactivity she was obviously becoming less mobile by the day. I stood next to her bed one day with tears in my eyes, telling her that she would never be able to go back home again if she didn't make progress. I pleaded with her to make the choice to do all she could to regain some mobility, and assured her that Susie, Kim, and I would even come up with a plan to find her a new place to live that would be comfortable and safe, and allow us to visit and stay part of her life. I ended my attempt at motivation by vowing that I would support whatever decision she were to make. If she wanted to fight, I'd be there to fight with her. If she wanted to give up, I'd help in any way I could, and never criticize or make her feel guilty about her decision. I told her to think it through over the weekend, and we'd formulate a plan the first of the next week.
"Mom, how are you doing today?" I said when I called her that Monday.
"Okay," she responded. Even her voice was becoming weaker every day.
"How did Physical Therapy go today?" I asked, with a positive, assumptive attitude.
"I didn't go," she admitted, and then gave another of her excuses to justify her lack of progress.
I pictured my rehabilitated Mom moving to an upscale facility with a private room where she would get in and out of bed without assistance, and regain a reasonably acceptable quality of life. I prayed she'd commit to making that happen. "Mom, how far do you think you might get with your therapy?" I asked, trying to subtly phrase my life and death question.
"Not too far." Her voice sounded so faint and despondent, my heart sank. I knew that was her way of saying that she had truly given up. I had promised my support, no matter what decision she made, so despite my anguish, I told her it was okay.
Susie, Kim, and I researched our options. We consulted an attorney about her modest estate, and how best to prepare for the likelihood of assisted living for the rest of her life. We found another nursing home that would allow her to have a private room that we could decorate just the way Mom would like, and the plan was to wait for the couple of weeks for a room to become available.
On Monday, March 19th I got a call at my office from my mom at the nursing home. She never liked to bother me at work, so I braced myself for bad news. But instead, she proudly announced "I walked!"
I was staggered. She hadn't gotten out of bed without being hoisted in a sling to a wheel chair since she was checked into the home back in January. And she hadn't actually stood up totally by herself since that December night when she'd called needing help after falling on the floor. Being immobile and bedridden for almost three months had weakened her terribly. "Walked- where did you walk?" I asked, in disbelief.
"Around my room," she said.
There was triumph in her voice, but I couldn't imagine that she had walked. "How did you get up? Who helped you?"
"I don't know," she said, "but I walked! And I wanted to tell my family!"
"You don't remember how you got up? Well, how did you get back into bed?"
Very matter-of-fact she said, "The nurses helped me."
Telling my mom that I didn't believe her was not an option. Why challenge her? I couldn't very well squash that enthusiasm. So I put on my most upbeat tone and said, "Well congratulations! Good for you Mom. I'm so proud of you!"
"I don't want to keep you," she said. "I know you're busy. But I wanted you to know- I walked!"
"I love you Mom."
"Love you too- I'll talk to you anon," and then she hung up the phone.
I was dumbfounded. We contacted the nursing home to find out what really happened and they explained that not only had Mom not walked, she had called 911 that previous night, telling them that she and a bunch of patients were being abducted. That should have been an obvious red flag to the supposedly trained staff at the nursing home. Something was definitely wrong. Every one of them missed it.
Later that day Mom was transported to Bayfront Hospital and was in the intensive care ward being treated for a massive CO2 build up that, as they explained, had been caused by pneumonia, and the fact that she had been on her back for so long. The nursing home had signed papers executed by Mom and Dr. Serag clearly stating that no extraordinary measures and no machinery would be used to sustain her in the event of a medical emergency. In spite of those clear instructions, Dr. Serag himself prescribed that she be put on a ventilator for as long as three days to see if the CO2 could be reduced to normal levels. That was Monday evening.
Tuesday morning, I arrived at room 440 to find Susie leaning over Mom's hospital bed, sobbing and talking to her as if Mom could understand everything. She was totally unresponsive. Between her tears, Susie went on, "I'm going to do it Mama. I'm going to do like I promised. Phillip and I are going to get that tube out of you. I know that's what you want. We're going to do it Mama. I'm sorry I couldn't get you the Rachmaninoff you wanted." My mom's love of the piano had led her to request her favorite piano music be played as part of her last wishes. It was something she had always talked about. Susie was weeping, with a tissue pressed against her face, and Mom had tubes sticking down her neck and nose, and wires all over her, with a monitor flashing and beeping over her head. It was more than I could take. My eyes filled up. My throat closed. I walked around to the side of the bed where Mom could see me if I could wake her, and pushed my sobbing voice, "Mom. Mom!" Her eyelids fluttered, and opened just slightly. "Do you want to get rid of the tube?" I knew she could see me but could not respond. I picked her hand up in mine and said, "Squeeze my hand one time if you want to get the tube out." She squeezed. It was Mom asking me to let her go.
Telling the nurses was heartbreaking. I was asking them to let my mom die. Then I found myself standing there, totally despondent, being convinced by nurses and doctors alike that if I insisted on taking the tube out, it would be a major mistake. They wanted time to wean her off of the machine. If they suddenly just removed the tube, Mom would be deprived of oxygen, and it could be terribly painful. That got me. Maybe they were right. I found hope in their plan, so they won.
I have always been amazed at how Mom has never had wrinkles in her forehead. But moments after I told her that we would need to leave the tubes, she grimaced to the point that her eyebrows almost met. It hurts even now to picture the pain in her face. That same contortion recurred every few minutes, along with intense trembling of her head and hands. Susie and I stayed with her, taking turns rubbing her forehead and holding her hands. I have never felt so helpless.
Every breath taken by a patient connected to that ventilator is categorized and displayed on the machine as either, Assisted, Simultaneous, or Mandatory. Most of her breaths were Assisted, helped by the machine. The few breaths she took on her own were Simultaneous. At that point, none were Mandatory breaths forced by the machine alone. Her blood pressure was measured automatically every half hour. It remained strong. Her heart rate was good, between 82 and 94 beats per minute. Her temperature was normal. Since she was obviously very stable, Susie left for home and her kids just after 5:00 PM with my promise that I'd call if there were any change. I stayed until 6:00 and took a break too, returning shortly after 9:00. When I got back into the hospital entrance and was halfway up the fifteen or so stairs that lead to the elevator, the guard yelled, "Hey, you got a pass?"
"No," I said. "I didn't know I needed one." He told me that everybody who came after regular visiting hours was required to have a pass. Then he hopped on the phone, called the fourth floor to get permission to let me up, and he filled out the pass- a two inch by three inch adhesive sticker. The process took five minutes. With my pass sticking to my shirt, I made my way up the stairs for another typical wait at the elevator.
My mom looked just as pathetic as when I'd left three hours earlier. But, all of her "numbers" were still good. Every time Mom would scrunch her face, I felt so powerless. "I can give her Adivan," the nurse said. "It's an anti-anxiety medication." That sounded like the perfect solution. Why hadn't a doctor told me about that? By 11:30 Mom seemed to be comfortably sleeping, so I headed for home.
Kim followed through on a planned business trip to St. Louis, so instead of being home with me that Tuesday night, holding my hand through this crisis, I was alone.
Kim called on Wednesday morning to get the latest update and remind me that Mom wanted Rachmaninoff, and that music would certainly relax her. As if I didn't already feel overloaded with responsibility, I stopped to purchase a CD player, some soft headphones, and a couple hours of Rachmaninoff. I had hugged Mom's head and hooked up the player. It felt great to see her respond to the music. She relaxed instantly. It was one of only a few times during the entire week that I felt sure I'd done something right. As I turned around, there was a man in white who introduced himself as the kidney specialist. He asked for both Susie and I to step away from Mom's bed, so he could talk freely. "Her kidneys are failing," he said. "It's my job to tell you that you have two alternatives. You can do nothing and let her drift off to sleep…or there's dialysis."
Before he could continue his explanation, simultaneously Susie and I said, "No dialysis." There was really no decision to be made. Mom had signed that Do Not Resuscitate Order, and at least Susie and I could honor it.
"I agree with you. If it were my mom, that's what I would do," the doctor said in a soft, reassuring tone. Somehow deep inside, I still was clinging to the idea that we might yet have a miracle in front of us. With kidney failure, there could be no miraculous recovery. Despair again overwhelmed me, and I still had to face the battle over the tubes.
For the second time, I summoned to courage to ask that my mom be allowed to die. Again the nurse pressed me to reconsider. "We need to give it time. If we take it out too soon, your mom could wind up suffocating without being able to get air." What a horrible thought, but I was compelled to insist. I don't think they understood the anguish that came with saying the words. The nurse reluctantly agreed to get the forms necessary for me to sign for the removal of the tubes.
Forms? Why I had to sign forms when Mom had clearly documented her wishes, with copies right there in her chart, I still don't understand. With tears in my eyes and the nurse still begging me to reconsider, I filled in Mom's name, and signed the form. It was the third time I was forced to insist that Mom be allowed to die. I thought it was finally done. But, no. The nurse then explained that I would need to talk to Dr. Serag to get his approval. Once more I found myself trying to justify the decision, with a doctor insisting I was making a mistake. "You're insisting that we remove the ventilator?" he asked, with a tone that made it obvious I would be acting alone, against his wishes, and all responsibility for the ramifications of the decision would entirely be mine.
"We just talked to the kidney specialist, and he tells us that her kidneys are failing, and that without dialysis she will not survive. Why should I question my mother's request for the removal of the tubes?" I insisted.
I could feel my emotions transitioning from sorrow to anger, but did my best to hold it together as again Dr. Serag pressed me. "I've seen many things over my years. I've seen kidneys seem to fail and then in just hours, they come back." He repeated his previous question with that same implied tone, "So you're insisting that we remove the ventilator?"
As my chin quivered and my eyes filled, once again I said, "Yes!"
"Then we'll abide by your wishes," he said. For a brief moment, I relaxed. Then he continued, "I will need to consult with the other three physicians assigned to your mom for their opinions. If they agree, we'll get it done."
What? I was outraged. We had no choice but to abide by the rules which meant that another day was ending and Mom still had to endure those tubes. Susie and I looked at each other, more determined than ever that Thursday we'd have those tubes finally removed.
It was such a relief to have Kim return from her trip and be able to go together to the hospital. Susie was already there when we arrived, and the stage was set for the removal of the tubes. There was an intense emotional build up. Nurses and doctors surrounded her bed. The tape holding a yellow plastic tube the diameter of a dime was removed from Mom's face. A plastic stick used to prevent Mom from biting down on the air tube was removed from her throat. Then they pulled out the main tube. Her face grimaced again in agony, as she choked on those tubes being pulled from her mouth. I held her head in my hands. "It's okay Mom. The tubes are gone. No more tubes. I'm sorry Mom."
I was looking deep into her eyes. She seemed to be trying to say something. I pressed my ear to her lips, desperate to hear her voice, but couldn't make out the words she spoke. Then an anxious voice behind me yelled, "Her blood oxygen level is crashing! Do we have your permission to put an oxygen mask on her?"
One more life and death decision. She was gasping for air and I could see the pain and the fear all over her face. "What will happen if we don't?" I pleaded.
"She'll suffocate."
That's not what was supposed to happen here. She was supposed to drift off like the kidney specialist had said. I was smack in the middle of a major emergency and blurted out, "Go ahead!" They put a mask over her mouth and nose. In seconds her oxygen level was back up near 95%. I could feel the staff relaxing, and Mom's face showed a new calm. I must have just done the right thing, right?
Not long after that a nurse came to us and said that, with our permission, she could give Mom some medication that would help stabilize her blood pressure. She showed us the blood pressure history on the monitor and it was obvious that her blood pressure was steadily falling. I knew that boosting her blood pressure might prolong Mom's journey but I felt that her comfort was paramount. "What will happen if we don't give her that medication?" I asked. "If her blood pressure drops too low, will it be painful?"
"It could be."
I was on my way to losing it. "Okay- go ahead."
Susie stroked Mom's hand while I again restarted the Rachmaninoff in her headphones. Some people can make small talk in a situation like that- not me. I sat and watched Mom's every breath, almost as if I were taking each breath with her. I scrutinized all her digital monitors. I sprung up to squeeze her hand any time she twitched. I cupped her head in my hand when she grimaced. I was dying a little too. Near 6:00 I left Suzie there while I went back to care for our dog, Noel, and get some food. I was back in the real world; the world was still turning; life was going on, and I started to feel hopeful again.
Kim and I walked back into the hospital with our "after 8:00 PM" badges on. Instead of finding calm this frantic respiratory lady was pushing a machine and holding a big mask with straps that would go over Mom's forehead and around her head. It looked like a deep sea mask of some kind. Mom's oxygen levels were dangerously low again. This lady wanted to switch the light mask that had been put on right after removing the tubes with this monstrous thing. "What will that do?" I asked.
She explained, "She's not getting enough air. This mask fits tighter and we can force more oxygen into her so her blood levels should come back up."
"Will it make her more comfortable?"
I expected her to reassure me, but instead she said, "Well, some patients find this mask so claustrophobic that they can't take it, but if she can handle the mask, she should get more air."
How many times- how many times- how many times can they keep making me decide things I really don't understand? It was constant anguish. "If we change to this bigger mask and she has a bad reaction to it, can we change it back?"
"Okay, let's do it." I helped lift Mom's head while the respiratory nurse pulled all the straps around her. She looked so pathetic- so helpless- so hopeless- but again her blood oxygen levels went back to near normal. By 11:30 that Thursday, Susie, Kim, and I left together. Mom was stable. My heart was still there in my throat.
Friday morning I got to the hospital at near lunch time. Susie explained that Mom had been fighting and struggling to pull off that big mask. I asked a nurse, "Can we just switch back to the other light mask for a while and see if Mom's blood oxygen levels are okay- at least for twenty minutes of so- just to give her a break- can we try that?" We did. I put some lip balm on Mom's cracked lips and Kim used skin care cream all over Mom's face where the straps from that huge mask had gouged deep red channels into her skin. We restarted Rachmaninoff in her headphones, and waited. I asked Mom if that was better and to nod, but there was no movement anymore. "Mom, squeeze my hand one time if this is better." One final time she communicated with me. She squeezed my hand. It was a good, strong squeeze. I knew she was with us. I knew that deep in her heart she understood that I had been trying my best for her, as flawed as my decisions may have been. I cried, and held her head in my hands as she grimaced slightly, and said, "It's okay Mom. We've got you." The "numbers" remained strong.
Kim stayed to watch over Mom while Susie and I both took care of Mom's financial issues. My cell phone rang and it was Kim telling me that Mom had again been fighting and struggling to push the mask off of her face. This was the light mask! Obviously Mom had reached a breaking point and wanted out. Then Kim told me that a nurse had questioned why we would be using the blood pressure medication if our intention was to allow Mom to naturally pass away. I couldn't believe it! Why didn't they tell me what it really meant when they asked my permission? The nurse suggested that a better course of action might be to eliminate the blood pressure medication and give Mom both the Adivan for anxiety and Morphine for the pain, and allow nature to do the rest. That's what Mom would have wanted so that's what we did. I asked Mom to squeeze my hand; there was nothing. I cradled her head in my hands one last time. "You don't have to worry about anything anymore. You're okay Mom. We love you." I sobbed as I looked for life in her glazed over green eyes. Susie held Mom's hand, and recounted story after story of things we had done together when we were young. Susie talked about our train trips to visit Uncle Glenn on Great Spider Lake in Wisconsin, and the fun we all had together feeding the deer and assembling all those cross word puzzles. She ever so gently rubbed Mom's forehead as she talked and talked. Time passed. Her numbers stayed strong.
By 7:00 PM, Friday night, I had to get away for a while. Kim and I went back to our house to feed and walk Noel, and Kim ordered a couple pizzas to take back, enough to share with the smaller night-time nursing staff. After the usual five minutes at the security desk to get our passes and the normal wait for the elevator, we arrived at the fourth floor. Mom actually looked peaceful. By 10:30 the three of us were sitting behind drawn curtains around Mom's bed. We were exhausted. Mom hadn't been responsive for hours. I looked at Susie and asked, "If you were to go home and you got a call in the middle of the night saying that Mom had passed away, what would you think?"
After a moment of contemplation she simply said, "I'd missed it."
"Would that be okay? She's unresponsive, but her numbers are still strong. I fully expect she will last much longer. What do you say we leave and get some rest? At home, you're too far to get back if something happens, but Kim and I can be back here in fifteen minutes. We'll tell Maria (the guardian angel nurse who was on duty that night) to call Kim and me, and we'll call you if anything changes, okay?" With that, I walked Susie to her car, saying I'd see her in the morning, and came back to await the 11:00 blood pressure readings. Again, the numbers were good. Kim and I were home by 11:30.
The smart thing to do would have been to go right to sleep, but after a week like that, Kim poured herself a big glass of White Zinfandel wine, and I poured a glass of Sherry. We sat in front of the TV, not saying a word, hoping our bodies would wind down enough to sleep. The last few nights had brought little rest. I looked at the clock and it was 12:08 when our heads hit the pillows. I must have fallen asleep instantly. It was just over an hour later, at 1:35 in the morning, when our house phone rang. Kim was saying "Hello?" before I really understood what was happening.
It was the nurse, Maria. "Your mother's heart rate is way down, and you need to come here if you want to be with her for her last moments," she said.
Kim said, "I understand." I could hear by the tone of Kim's voice that this was it. I did my best to stand up, but felt so groggy. I thought of that switch I have in my head that I use to turn off the world. I wished I could just leave it off and rest, but it was Showtime again. I took a breath and headed for the bathroom to put the clothes I'd lived in all day back on. Hoping to avoid that five minute waste to get passes, Kim asked if I still had the name tag from earlier, but I had thrown mine away. She had too, but there was hers, on the top of the garbage pail, ready to go back on. Before I knew it, Kim and I were driving, the Sherry still obvious in my system, adrenalin moving my body. Saturday morning at 1:45 there was no traffic, and somehow we made it through every single one of the traffic lights. The most coveted parking space at the hospital entrance was vacant. With a quick u-turn we pulled in, jumped out of the car before it could even settle, and ran to the entrance.
The guard at the front desk was the same one there when we left earlier. I remembered him, but he didn't remember me. Despite our pleas, he had to do it by the book. The pass seemed to take forever, but once I had it, we raced up the stairs. I don't know why, but as we reached the elevator, the door opened. We had waited for minutes for an elevator so many times, but this one seemed to be waiting for us. We got to the floor, raced to the Intensive Care Unit, and burst through the double doors. My mom's bed was directly across from the entrance. There on each side of her bed was a nurse, each holding one of Mom's hands. I glanced up at the monitor and saw that her heart rate was 17 beats per minute. I anxiously reached down to hold Mom's hand, and the very moment I touched her, that very instant- not a second or two- the very moment I touched her, she died.
I sat by the bed behind drawn curtains by myself looking through my tears at the body that once housed the woman who had been such an icon for me all of my life. She was gone. The body didn't really even look like Mom anymore. She was gone.
If there was any traffic going home, I didn't see it. My world was totally obscured by the tears in my eyes, and the pain in my heart. I didn't speak until we got back home. Kim had called Susie from the hospital and explained everything, but I needed to call her myself. I recounted the entire step-by-step process, from the moment that we had first gotten home, to the call that woke us, to the moment I touched Mom's hand and she left. A chill ran through me as I detailed what had happened. The very moment I touched Mom, she passed on, as if she had waited for me! That was really incredible. The more that I thought it through, I realized it was much more than incredible- it was impossible. Kim told me that she saw Mom take her last breath just at that exact moment when I had touched her. I was looking so intently into her eyes I didn't see that last breath. Kim said that Mom's last breath was in- not out, at the exact instant that I touched her. It was just one instant.
How could it be that I got there the very moment she left this earth?
Anything could have changed how long it took us to reach Mom's bedside. Why had I left my clothes in the bathroom rather than taking them to the laundry as I normally would? Why did we make every traffic light? Why did Kim find her after hours hospital pass intact in the garbage pail, but mine was gone? Why did the elevator door open by itself?
When we got back home, I discovered that Maria, the nurse, had actually called my cell phone first and left a message. Not reaching me, she tried the home phone number next. That's the call Kim picked up. Why did Maria call my cell phone and then call our house? A million things could have changed the amount of time it took to get to Mom's bedside. But they didn't. I touched Mom, and the exact instant that I did, she left. It could not have been that Mom waited for me- at least not with the powers she would have in this world. She had been totally unresponsive for hours, and her heart rate was so slow that she was incapable of doing anything. There wasn't enough oxygen going to her brain for normal conscious thought. In the world you and I share, I know she couldn't have even known that I was standing there. How would she know that it was my hand that touched her rather than the nurses who had been holding her hands? Why my hand? She certainly couldn't feel anything at that point. I paced back and forth, trying to understand what had happened, and boiled it down to only two possibilities- it was either an incredible coincidence- or it was planned. It was only an instant. There's absolutely no way it was mere coincidence.
It suddenly dawned on me. My mom did wait for me, but not with the powers she had in this world. I realized that Mom had somehow been able to give me an incredible gift. There is no logical explanation for Mom passing away the very moment I touched her hand, other than it had been planned. It was orchestrated. My mom gave me the greatest gift, even surpassing the magnificence of the life that she gave me when I was born. She gave me unquestionable, indisputable proof that there is an afterlife. I have always had faith- now I have proof. I will have an existence after death. I do not know what form that existence will take, but I know it's there for us. We will have life after death. Never will I have to question that again. Never again will my faith be tested by a distant, nagging shadow of doubt. I've always believed. Now I know for sure. Mom gave me, and you, an incredible gift. She gave us proof!

With 2 of the 3 founders being Indian, the Studentify Team is well aware of the difficulties Indian students face in finding the best-fit U.S colleges. So they launched Studentify.us, a disruptive website focused on helping Indian students peruse degrees in U.S.A. There is no way for Indian students to know which American universities are ready with scholarships and graduate assistantships now these Universities can reach out to our students seamlessly, adds Subho, explaining the advantages of Studentify.
There are many sites where Indians can find out a list of possible American universities, but none that offers the opposite service that is the niche that Studentify addresses. Indian students make up the 2nd biggest foreign student contingent in the USA, and are growing steadily. Team Studentify believes that doing student side aggregation will help U.S institutions identify Indian students more easily, and help increase the number of admissions from India. In future, Studentify intends to become a smart website, making suggestions to Universities and students alike, based on previous years trends. They are soon going to launch their mobile app as well.
Anyone aspiring for an American university education can choose this smooth alternative and create their Studentify profile today. Let the U.S Universities find their most suitable students.

Deschutes Fresh Squeezed IPA offers a lighter, citrusy IPA experience
If you're in the market for a lighter IPA drinking experience, look no further than the Fresh Squeezed IPA from Deschutes Brewery in Bend, Oregon. A citrusy IPA that minimizes the hop bitterness by contrasting with a heavy and aromatic dose of Citra, Mosaic, and Nugget hops, Fresh Squeezed offers a smooth and mellow finish. This overall easy-drinking beer is light on the tongue and palatable with a sessionable pale ale quality.
See also: Could mead be the next big drink trend? Minnesota mead-makers weigh in
This amber-copper beer's unique quality is its grapefruit sensation. The citrus aroma is strong, but there is also a light and fruity impression to the flavor and mouthfeel, with a bit of that grapefruit sour coming across but never overwhelming the Indian pale ale consistency. The citrus notes offer a sense of refreshment that differs from many beers, as it coats the tongue and gives a full sensory impression similar to a fruit juice.
For food pairings, Deschutes recommends foods of Italian origin such as creamy tomato sauces, prosciutto, and mozzarella, or a crab and roasted red pepper strata. Saltier foods tend to bring out the bitterness more.
Fresh Squeezed is on tap across the metro, including at Chatterbox Minneapolis, Triple Rock Social Club, Blue Nile, MGM Wine & Spirits (Roseville), Barrio St. Paul, and others.

Croydon is the newest addition to the Boxpark family, and it's a food-focused affair, with over 80 traders to choose from. The venue also plays hosts to tons of exciting events, and from 14-16 April — Easter weekend — there's even more to see and do than usual.

There'll be special foodie deals over the weekend — how does What the Pitta's vegan doner kebab with chips sound?

Get your sugar hit with The Breakfast Club's epic Easter pancake special — this is full-on chocolate heaven consisting of American pancakes, Crème Egg chocolate sauce and vanilla crème, with a Crème Egg on the side (available from 10-23 April).
You'll need to do plenty of dancing to work off that chocolate — luckily Saturday is all about the music. Record Store Day will see a baby disco from 11am-1pm, and enlightening workshops and industry talks from 2-5pm.
In the evening there'll be a vinyl club at Boxbar, and throughout the day you can swap with like-minded music fans at Boxpark's vinyl exchange. Sunday has even more music lined-up, with a Funk Me: Easter Special at Boxbar until the early hours.
From Mexican to Malaysian, fine dining to street food, Boxpark Croydon most definitely has the eats, and with its music line-up, it also has the beats this Easter. Head south of the river for records, kids entertainment and plenty of food — it's bound to be cracking.

On-Demand Car Services Driving Off With Venture Funding
When San Francisco-based Cabulous received $8 million in Series A funding last week, the company became the latest in a series of start-ups providing on-demand car services to raise venture capital funding.
In total, five companies–Cabulous, Uber Technologies, Limos.com, GetTaxi and Hailo–have raised more than $110 million in venture capital since 2011, according to VentureWire archives.
While all the companies offer their own mobile app enabling users to get a ride more easily than by going through the old-fashioned dispatch services, business models vary significantly, whether it's for a taxi or a private car service.

I was hoping to see that look in your eyes.
Not that there is anything to complain about the various ways in which you've looked at me so far.
You've looked at me with anticipation, that time when your toes touched innocently touched mine, and we sat, talking about anything and everything while our feet played footsie, and neither of us acknowledged the exchange of electrical current. Until, of course, you stood up, pulled me to my feet and kissed me until i thought I'd never breathe again .
You've looked at me with interest, when we spoke of the way in which i do my work, and i demonstrated for you how capable i am professionally. You liked my enthusiasm, my dedication, the fact that I know what I'm talking about — and you even looked at me admiringly because of it.
And, of course, you've looked at me with deep desire. Many times in the past. The first time over a warm and frothy drink that i — most unusually for me — had absolutely no interest in from the split second in which your eyes met mine, just before you took my hand and kissed my lips, lightly but with passion that conveyed quite how much desire lay behind your gaze.
And many times in the future, i most sincerely hope.
No, no, I'm not complaining. Not at all. It was just a hope… a wish. That as I walked in through the door the other day, that you'd give me that look.
Oh, you know the one.
That look that says you want me, right then, right there, bent double over the kitchen counter, clothes half-on, half-off, half-strewn over chairs and free-standing kitchen units, hands on bare raw flesh, fiery lips igniting equally , explosive raw passion setting our bodies alight as they touch, causing the familiar spontaneous combustion for this position but so much hotter and faster and furious than usual that i have no time for thought, no time to consider, just to respond with matching passion, and heat, and fury until we finally burn out and collapse exhausted into each other.
Yeah, that one.

Looking to sit and relax in the shade on one of Rincon's Beautiful Beaches? How about renting a SUP or surfboard without worrying about getting it in or on your rental car? Here are some ideas ....
- Sandy Beach - look for the RD2H Rentals. Normally they set up in the parking lot across from Mango Beach Shop in a large trailer full of Board, Chair & Umbrella Rentals. They are right on the beach and will happily set up a chair and umbrella on the beach for you if ones aren't already set up. You can grab a drink at Tamboo Bar & Grill, sit on the beach and enjoy! Or rent a board, get wet and enjoy!
- Domes Beach - look for RD2H Rentals at the very end of the road - rent a chair and umbrella and watch some surfers or whales depending on the time of year and Mother Nature
- Maria's Beach - again depending on the time of year and Mother Nature you can decide to rent a chair and umbrella or board from RD2H - grab a drink at Calypso Cafe and watch the beach activities or join in!
Note: if you want to be certain you can rent a board, chair or umbrella make sure you contact RD2H and confirm they will be there.

Ideally, grade lesson plans should be orderly and sensible, but with enough room to include spontaneity and creativity. Anyone who has had to sit through a lesson plan that was rigid and tight, with absolutely no deviation from the tasks at hand, will know that this is a thoroughly unpleasant way to learn. Letting your students breathe a little is important in helping them learn and remember.
Are you planning on teaching a class? If so, lesson plans provide you with a variety of different advantages. Any experienced teachers will tell you that having a plan does wonders for smoothing out the most chaotic of classes. Others, however, will tell you that sticking too closely to the plan will make things needlessly complicated and that flexibility is the key to running a sound classroom. In truth, both sides have merit; the best way to run a classroom, particularly one filled with younger, excitable students, is to maintain a perfect balance of order and creativity.
