What Benefits Can I Receive Through a Disability Insurance Claim?
If your disability claim is approved, you will receive a percentage of your salary and wages. You may also be eligible for cost-of-living increases. Because every disability insurance plan is different, you should rely on your plan's summary plan description (SPD) for more detailed information.
If you need help interpreting the SPD, speak with an experienced ERISA attorney.
Can I Work and Still Receive Disability Insurance Benefits?
Depending on the language in your disability insurance plan, you may be eligible for benefits while working. Carefully read your plan's summary plan description (SPD) for more information.
First, determine whether you have an "own occupation" or "all occupation plan." You have a disability under an "own occupation" plan if you are unable to perform the material duties of your last job. You are eligible for benefits under an "all occupation" plan if you cannot perform any work within the national economy.
"Own occupation" plans may allow you to work and receive benefits. However, some "own occupation" plans will not pay benefits if you are working. (Again, read your plan's SPD for guidance.) Others may pay partial benefits.
Additionally, some "all occupation" plans allow for full or partial disability if you are limited to part time work or your earning capacity is dramatically reduced. It can be difficult to interpret the disability requirements of your SPD. If you need help, contact an ERISA attorney.
Can the Insurance Company Reduce My Disability Benefits?
Many disability insurance plans allow the company to reduce or offset your benefits by the amount of Social Security Disability you receive. If your monthly Social Security check is larger than your disability insurance benefit, your insurance checks may stop (unless there is a minimum benefit set out in the plan).
Some disability insurance plans also allow for offsets for workers' compensation and personal injury benefits.
Can I Appeal a Disability Insurance Denial?
Yes. ERISA sets out a specific appeals process for disability insurance claims.. First, you must file an appeal with the insurance company. This first level of appeal is very important — you cannot submit additional evidence after the insurance company denies your appeal. (It is probably in your best interest to hire a skilled ERISA attorney before filing the first-level appeal.)
If the insurance company denies your appeal, you can file a complaint with the federal courts. At the federal court level, a judge or magistrate will review your claim and issue a decision. Typically, there will not be a hearing and you will not testify.
Do I Need an ERISA Attorney in a Disability Insurance Claim?
Disability insurance claims require a lot of technical analysis. In order to win a disability insurance claim, you must interpret ERISA law, medical and vocational evidence and the insurance policy's language. Most disabled workers do not have the ability to perform this analysis on their own. Instead, they rely on an experienced ERISA attorney.
Additionally, there are strict evidentiary rules in ERISA claims. It is almost impossible to submit evidence after the insurance company has denied an appeal. If your disability insurance claim has been denied, you should contact a skilled ERISA attorney right away. A lawyer can help you build a complete evidentiary record and give you the best possible chance of winning your claim.
How Are Disability Insurance Lawyers Paid?
Most disability insurance lawyers receive payment on a contingency basis. This means that they do not have entitlemtn to an attorney fee unless you make a recovery. Your ERISA attorney should explain the fee schedule at your first appointment. Do not sign a contract with an attorney unless you understand and agree to his or her fee schedule.
Additionally, a federal judge may order the insurance company to pay your attorney fees in ERISA appeals.

Alia Sasa '18
Johnston, RI
Human Resources Management
Gilbane, Corporate Human Resources Intern
Hired Upon Graduation
Company Profile
Gilbane started as a small carpentry business in 1873 that flourished through a hard-earned reputation for quality and dedication to excellence. As a global integrated construction and facility management services firm, their clients entrust them to deliver the projects that will build their futures. Forbes ranks Gilbane as the 111th largest privately held company in the US with annual revenue reported at $3.9 billion.
What did you do?
I worked on a variety of projects. Some tasks I completed included a benchmarking project in which I researched onboarding and orientation practices of competitors. This information will be used to help identify trends being used to reduce turnover in new hires, and support their integration into company culture. I updated the new hire survey responses in the Human Resource Information System (HRIS) which helps Gilbane manage company talent and determine areas their employees have the most expertise in.
In addition, I worked with Talent Management data to assist in workforce planning practices such as succession planning and forecasting emerging leaders' future positions. Other tasks included an electronic document conversion project, which required comprehensive auditing of physical personnel files using the Self Service application.
What did you learn?
Learning how to navigate through a company's data warehouse, run analytical reports, and upload information is not something that can be learned in a classroom setting. Through my internship, I was exposed to how a HRIS gathers, stores, and organizes information. Although there are thousands of software and systems used for benefits administration, onboarding, self-service, or training and development, all the programs offer essentially the same tools and process information similarly; therefore, my newly acquired HRIS skills will be invaluable. Learning how to work in a team environment was very rewarding, and I was grateful to be able to actively participate and have my contributions be recognized as those of an equal member.
Advice for Others
I recommend registering for your Career Management course during your junior year because the resume and cover letter assignment and the creation of a "LinkedIn" profile were extremely helpful. This course will help you at the very beginning in conducting a job search, all the way to the final steps of interviewing for a position. If you wait until your last term to take this course, you will miss out on being able to use all of the great resources provided to you.

Best way for me to describe the rules:
- Divide into groups of 4-5.
- Each person in your group will be "Joey" once during the game.
- Pick 5 Exam 3 terms/topics out of the Pyramid (envelope) and your teammates will give you clues about that term.
- Note: teams will only have a few seconds to figure out who will be giving the clues
- The "Joeys" will have to correctly identify the topic/term/person/Act, etc.
- Each team will have 45 seconds to get through as many terms as possible!
- If you do not know the correct answer, you may "pass." If your team does not know the term (therefore can not give you clues), they must "pass."
- Teams will keep the slips that your group answered correctly.
- Term slips that could not be answered go back into the Pyramid (envelope).
At the end, groups will count their total slip numbers. The group with the highest number wins (possible 20/25 points for each team). Members of the winning team will get +3 points added to their final attendance/participation grade total.

When people see circus performances and acrobatics, the thing I hear most often is, "I could never do that". It breaks my heart a little bit each time, because I find myself wanting people to feel inspired by these artistic expressions and motivated to reach for their highest potential.
My approach to personal training is to gain a clear understanding of what each person's fitness and physical goals are, and then to take small steps towards achieving them. It's not an overnight process. It takes time to assess what muscles need to be built up, and then carefully construct the framework to do that in a safe way for each individual body. I care about the longevity of your health. For me, it's not about achieving the goals as fast as possible, but instead, crafting s routine in such away that your goals end up falling into place.
I want to give people an opportunity to try something new, something they think they could never do, or something they've always wanted to try but didn't know how to start. I want to give people a unique workout that is fun, engaging, and allows them to move at their own pace. I want people to be able to move in their bare feet, feeling the ground underneath them and training all those small individual muscles in their feet. I've been training barefoot my whole life, and because of it, I think I have a particularly special relationship to exercise, feeling my body, and grounding myself. I want to provide this for others, and teach them how to properly align themselves as they exercise.
Cassie has extensive experience and qualifications in the following discplines:

Eilean Donan Castle
On a sunny clear day (a rarity in Scotland), we drove up North towards the Isle of Skye to visit a friend who just had a baby. As we entered the territory of the Weegiland (Glasgow in plain English) it started to rain and the fogged started rolling in, Nate took a turn and said we'd make a stop in Cumbernauld, everyone knows there's nothing out there and I started to worry if my dear American boyfriend had the locations messed up. He ensured me he knew where he was going and within 10 minutes, we ended up on a helipad with a helicopter waiting. By the time we got there the weather had already gotten so bad and the visibility was less than 200 yards, Nate took out the champagne and chocolates he'd prepared the night before but the pilot told us it was way too foggy to fly. Nate was so upset, he'd been planning this for months but our notorious weather let us down. I had a feeling Nate was planning to propose to me in Scotland, with his family in the US and the majority of mine in Taiwan I couldn't have my dream castle wedding in my beloved Scotland, so Nate knew it'd mean the world to me if we got engaged there.
We couldn't let that dampen our spirits but the detour we took really slowed us down and the roads up North are bad, we rented a tiny little car and every time the wind blew we felt like we could get blown away. After 6 hours we were finally on Skye but it was so dark and we had to watch out for the cows and not falling into a ditch. We were staying at a shepherd's hut which was super cute and cosy but probably not the best accommodation in the middle of the winter. It was tough having to get up to go to the loo at 3 am holding an umbrella in the rain and wind. The next morning our drive way was blocked by two curious donkeys and it took us at least 15 minutes to get them out of the way, they were adorable though.
We finally caught up with my friend Bryony and told her about Nate's jeopardised proposal. She told us the Eilean Donan Castle is the most romantic castle in Scotland and we should check it out. We also visited Bryony and her husband Paul's jewelry shop 'Love from Skye' and got our beautiful wedding bands there.
I grew up seeing photos of this castle on postcards but never had a chance to visit until that day. We rang the bell and entered the castle, had a little look around, spoke to a member of staff who was not impressed by the over enthusiastic Outlander fans and when we headed out Nate took me to the other side of the castle, overlooking the point where three great lochs meet. Still in awe of the beauty of the Isle of Skye I had no idea what he had in store for me. He went down on one knee and I said no (because he's proposed to me jokingly in front of a Macdonald's and many random places at least a dozen times during our trip) until he reached into his pocket and took out a box. He went on and open the box (wrong side up), dropped the ring, we both panicked and as he uncovered the ring I said yes. It was one of the best days of my life.
Followed by our romantic trip to Skye we headed back to Edinburgh to celebrate Christmas with my family. Driving a tiny weeny car on the wrong side of the road (for Nate) in such horrible weather conditions, we were both surprised by how well we've coped so far. We pulled over to fill up petrol just as that thought crossed my mind, it was still raining hard so I sat in the car and wait for Nate. When we were back on the road again we drove for a few minutes and all of the sudden all the lights went on and the car stopped in the middle of the road. Turned out Nate had put in diesel instead of fuel and we were stuck in the middle of nowhere in the Scottish highlands without phone signal. We managed to get the car just off the road and waited for help, a car came by and a young couple took us to the nearest hotel in Crianlarich to get help. A couple of hours later, a man drove up from Glasgow to help us and after hours of waiting we finally got it fixed. He could only gave us 10 pounds worth of fuel so we had to get more on the way back to Edinburgh, it was almost midnight and most petrol stations were close. There was only one petrol station before we entered the National Park and it didn't take credit cards. We didn't have a choice so we kept driving and keeping our fingers crossed that we had enough fuel till we hit a town. We drove through the Trossachs National Park in pitch dark night and in pouring rain, not knowing if we'd make it out of the park. Well I guess we were extremely lucky to have made it to a petrol station that accepts credit cards 3 minutes before it closed. Phew! Finally we made it back to Edinburgh in one piece after this ordeal. It was really quite an adventure and an awesome story to tell our kids and grandkids.

Build your village
To be successful, we need backup. No one is an island. This is the story of how I found my people and how we built a village. It's simple and deep at the same time. And it's a huge part of how I get everything else done in my life.
I cook once a week. I cook once a week for 5 families. And then we all divide up our big batches so we each have a week's worth of meals. This has changed my life. At 5pm I don't wonder what will we eat... I open my fridge and ask myself (or my kids): would you like to eat Wilson's meal, Aurelia's meal, Olive's meal or Luca's meal? We warm it up and voila... Dinner. No cooking clean up. No thinking (or very little). Not only has this created calm and relief in my day to day existence... it has brought so much gratitude and connection. I had no idea this would happen! In the course of cooking for each other we have built a village. Our battle cry: Village Up, Ladies! We are considering tattoos.
It started as survival. My best friend Katya and I had been cooking together for a while. We initially filled a chest freezer with meals before our second kids were born (cooking after bedtime in those last few weeks before our families expanded and chaos ensued). Then we did meal planning via text message, meeting up on the weekends to cook together while our partners' took the kids away from the house. It was a lot of work and we didn't always finish the meals. And we were thinking about food ALL THE TIME.
Then Katya had the brilliant idea of just cooking a big batch and sharing. We met with a third friend, Hilary, and talked about just how nervous and excited this idea made all of us. Within a week I'd invited two other women - Jenny and Adana - to join us, and then I had to be stopped, as no one wanted to cook for more than 20 people at a time. It turns out that in this case more is just marvelously more. Five families is probably the max I'd recommend but who knows...(a freezer meal focused meal co-op?). Okay, I'll stop.
we came up with a few ground rules:
- Be real, do not try to impress anyone. Have 3 meals you like to make and rotate them.. for ages (soups, stews, curries, taco ingredients, salads with dressing and components separated... you get the idea)
- Text each other at the beginning of the week with our meal idea (just to make sure we don't have a week with 5 lentil meals - oops!)
- Make enough for a hungry family (soup for a family of 4 means two large mason jars) - you don't have to include bread or rice or sausages/fried eggs to fill out the meal, but suggestions for these are appreciated in the planning text
- Put meals into large glass mason jars, over time we found that those wine bottle bags are the perfect transport device.
- Exchange meals at a convenient place - for us, this was our preschool during drop-off and pick-up
There have been so many unexpected surprises that have come out of this experiment. The gratitude, the community, the delicious food, the weeks when each of us has been sick and *have not had to cook* because the other families had our backs, the extra meals that we've all had on hand to share with a new neighbour, and the weaving together of our lives through the food we make and share together. Truly, it's been glorious. We have much more to write about it, more to come about that later.
There are a few questions that people ask us when we talk about this - and it's true that all of us talk about this whenever we can.
Here are some of the basic questions:
- Are you freaked out about cooking for that many people? Yes. Almost everyone is. Talk about it, start with a simple easy recipe, and just dive in. Don't miss out because it's scary at first. We were all freaked out (okay, maybe not pastry-chef-extraordinaire Adana).
- What if people don't like my meal? It's okay. One of the most wonderful things is having someone make you dinner. That's what you're doing. You'll be surprised by the gratitude that flows.
- How do you know you'll like the other person's meal? You don't. But it's pretty awesome to have someone make you dinner, period. Trust that others will rise to the occasion and bring their best game.
- How do you deal with dietary issues? Talk about them. We were lucky to all have similar needs. Although as time has gone on - we've now been cooking for each other for more than a year and a half, every week - we've had new dietary needs arise. It's been amazing how people adapt (almost no grains!) and how we have all learned to be more flexible and inventive.
- Will my kids eat the food? Maybe. But that's pretty true of any situation, right? It's also been impressive how exposure to new foods on a consistent basis, has changed our kids' palettes. I'm pleased to say that my lentil and chorizo soup has turned a few kids into lentil lovers. Small victories, people!
There are many people who talk about how it takes a village, many who are saddened by the lack of a village - especially for parents - and yet I wonder if building a village could be easier than we think? One thing I know: without this village I wouldn't be sitting here writing these words. The support and space to think about my life has come from this community we've formed. Our partners have been woven into this fabric of food and flexibility. This food has given me extra moments of free brain space.
And as I think about ways for working mothers and entrepreneurs to be more focused and productive.. food is actually where I begin. How can we expect to grow ourselves and our families and our businesses without food? Wouldn't it be amazing if that food could be more than last minute, stressful or just take-out? What if it could happen without intense meal planning, organization and to-dos? And instead come with connection, understanding and a crew of people who have your back? I say, yes it can.
So go! Find your people! It could be your co-worker who you know just a little but you both have kids and look a bit frazzled at lunch time, but you like how they have impressive salads most days. It could be that parent at school who laughs at the same ridiculous things your kids do... I know you're thinking now!
Recipes to get started:
What we are eating this week:
- Salad nicoise with tuna/smoked salmon
- Simmered beans and kale
- Baked chickpeas with pita chips and yogurt
- Roasted chicken legs and a grain salad
- (and one mom has the week off because of Life).
It's my jam to help working mothers find grace and space in the midst of the mess of life. Contact me to start a conversation.

I got 48 of these Star Wars IMAX posters!
Wait a minute, let me zoom out a little bit...
Ah, there's all 48 of them. LOL
Dan Price
How'd you pull that one off?
I'll give you two guesses, but you'll only need one. :)
Um... I could guess a person that gave it to you, but that wouldn't explain the "story" ... I want the story, man!
Ah, well, I guess IMAX printed up these small "posters" as promotional stuff to send to the theaters. But the Cinemark IMAX received them as a box of the entire uncut sheets. They had no means of cutting them up, or no interest in doing so (what would they be used for anyway?), so they gave them to the Star Wars Fan Force, which is how Ryan got them, and he's been giving them away.

Nightgown Extension
It all started when my favorite 100% cotton nightgown was in the laundry, so I wore a long sleeved cotton tee top (and flannel PJ bottoms) that had ribbed cuffs that.stayed.down. while worn as sleepwear. I remembered my son telling me he likes the tee tops he has with ribbed cuffs better than those with straight cuffs, so I decided to add solid black ribbed cuffs to my favorite black patterned nightgown. Win!
Then I bought another 100% cotton nightgown at the Fire Survivor's Thrift store. It's soft and pretty, but too short by a l –o – n-g way, doesn't even cover my hip when I lay on my side in bed. DH said, "You could sew on an extension, like Nathan's tee shirts." So I went to the local Senior Center Thrift store and found a 100% pima cotton tee shirt in a solid color close enough to the print that I could live with it. I went home with plans to lengthen the body by as much as the black one is long. When I sat down to begin, I found that the tee shirt was long sleeved with ribbed cuffs. Ah ha! I used the sleeve and ribbing to lengthen the sleeves and decided, as long as I was making the gown longer, why determine the length based on the black one? Why not make it as long as I really wanted?
A Total Win-Win! Now this is my favorite and sooo much warmer than the others that are three-quarter length. This one not only covers my hip when side-lying, but also my knees. Total spent: $4.00.
I thank my son for the inspiration.

Atwood Cardigan Redone
I've finished the back and one front and sleeve of my
husband's cardigan
. Before I cast on for the second front, I had the bright idea to sew the pieces together to see if they fit so far. Better to find out now than after the entire sweater's knit and assembled.
Well as fate would have it, the whole thing is too small. It's too tight across the shoulders and too snug around the arm. Argh. I know I measured him last year when I started the project. Could he have grown?
With some out of the box thinking, he said, "Can't you insert a panel somehow to make it bigger?" What a great idea! I called the knitting group expert and she came over and reviewed the math with me. Instead of having to rip the whole thing out and start again, we decided I could add an inch to the front and back, which would increase the armhole and then knit a one and a half inch panel to be sewn into the side seam. Then I'll just add stitches to the second front to increase it as well.
I love this yarn, I'm enjoying my new square needles and it's all knitting, which I love to do. So why does it feel like such a set back? I remind myself I'm a process person, not a product person.

S.C. Legislature studying water safety after deaths of two women last year
– The parents of two young women killed in separate watercraft accidents last year are hoping South Carolina lawmakers improve water safety rules and spare others their grief.
Two senators have put forward proposals they say are meant to save lives but allow people a chance to enjoy boating, too.
Democratic Sen. Thomas McElveen of Sumter wants to require boaters to travel only at a slow, "no wake" speed after the sun sets.
"It's pretty unregulated out there," McElveen said. "I fish all the time, but it seems every holiday we seem to have accidents. I think it just makes common sense to put your boat at idle speed after dark."
Capt. Robert McCullough of the state Department of Natural Resources, which polices the waterways, said there are no speed limits for boats. However, boaters are required to operate their watercraft in a safe manner and not at speeds that put people in danger.
McElveen said his bill was prompted by last summer's accident involving 21-year-old Hailey Bordeaux, who died of injuries due to a July 4 boating accident on Lake Marion. He dubbed his measure "Hailey's law."
Bordeaux was a rising senior at the University of South Carolina, majoring in early childhood development, said her father, Shawn Bordeaux.
Bordeaux said his daughter and two friends were in a boat near a dock around 12:30 a.m. and were struck by another boat traveling in the area.
A Clarendon county man faces charges of reckless homicide by operation of a boat and failing to render assistance when a death results, according to county records.
The second accident involved 19-year-old Millicent McDonald, who was killed last May on Lake Marion in a collision with a 26-year-old male jet skier. A Florence man has been charged with reckless homicide by operation of a boat in connection with the incident, county records show.
McDonald's mother, Mellissa Grice, said she would like to see a "Milli's Law" enacted that would require officials to give breathalyzer tests to watercraft operators involved in an accident that claims a life, which is not required now.
"It just seems to be a southern tradition to have a cooler of alcohol on a boat out on the water," Grice said. "My mission is to get this law passed."
Grice's representative, Sen. Kevin Johnson of Manning, wants the Department of Natural Resources to study the state's regulations on boating safety and get back to lawmakers before he proposes changes in the law. He also asks DNR to conduct public hearings on safety to educate boaters.
DNR statistics show there have been 215 deaths in recreational boating accidents between 2004 and 2014 in South Carolina. Three-quarters of the deaths could have been averted if people had worn life vests, and about half appear connected to alcohol use, McCullough said.
McCullough said the agency has 248 officers who monitor the 465,805 registered motorboats on 460,000 acres of lakes, 8,000 miles of rivers and 3,000 miles of coastline. The agency recently hired 20 additional officers, he said.

My Bounty (Hightower Heat 2) by Jason Collins

|Reviewed by
|Lena Grey on 03-June-2019
It's my first week in town, and I'm being hunted.
Ordinarily, I wouldn't mind being chased down the street by a wall of muscle—if he weren't a bounty hunter. He has the wrong man, but he's looking at me like I'm exactly what he needs. Imagine my surprise when he's behind the desk at my job interview, and he doesn't just want me on the team, he wants me on the case—his case.
That would make us partners.
But we have a serious problem. Cole's real bounty is for my cousin, and I know he's innocent. Cole wants to help me prove it, but the pressure's rising, and I know just how to release it.
I'm not the bounty, but I'm the one he's claiming.
He's not my original target, but I'm keeping him.
As a bounty hunter, I don't make mistakes—until I accidentally end up chasing David. He's innocent of everything but the dirty way he looks at me. When a case of mistaken identity leads to David becoming my new partner, I get him exactly where I want him—by my side.
My instincts never lead me wrong, and they're pointing to David.
He has a good heart under that stunning body, and I can't resist helping him. They think his cousin's guilty, but we're going to clear his name. I'm on the hunt, and nothing's going to stop me.
When I've got the right man, I never let go.
"You are like my shield, the one that keeps me safe so let me do the same thing for you." ~ Maria Bastida
When David arrives in the city, he expects things to be different, but he does not expect to be chased down on the street while on the way to an interview. It turns out to be a case of mistaken identity, but it's still a tense and upsetting situation.
David continues to his interview and the man who was pursuing him, Cole, is still following him, which is curious. It turns out that Cole works at the place where David is going. David meets the people he is there to interview for and settles in. Cole walks in a few minutes later. They are both surprised to find that David is interviewing for a job in Cole's office but pretend that they haven't met. Cole is particularly interested in David, because the fugitive he's trying to bring in for a bounty, the one he mistook David for, is David's cousin, Oliver.
After David is hired, he's assigned to help Cole track Oliver down. David swears Oliver would never deliberately have done anything wrong; there have to be extenuating circumstances. David works with Cole to find him, but to prove his innocence. Cole has been a bounty hunter for a long time. He's heard it all; everyone says they are innocent. Even though it means losing his bounty, there's something about David's faith in his cousin and his conviction that he is not a criminal that gives him pause. Working together so intensely stokes the sexual attraction. Neither man has any qualms about expressing it. Soon, they are lighting the sheets on fire with an intensity neither man has ever known before. Cole realizes that it's not just sex that fuels the feelings between them. In David, he has found a man who he wants to keep by his side, as a partner, and as a lover.
As Cole and David begin to investigate Oliver, all they find is evidence of what a good guy he is; dedicated, compassionate, and nurturing. Everyone has nothing but glowing comments about him and are concerned that he has disappeared. His volunteer and job-related activities are impressive and the impact he has had on the community inspiring. As jaded as Cole is, he has to admit that as unlikely as it sounds, the man he's pursuing is not guilty. There has to be more to the story than they know.
This is the second book in the 'Hightower Heat' series, and it's just as steamy as the first. David has an unusual combination of small-town innocence, but under his sweet exterior is a man who can hold his own, in and out of bed. Cole is tough on the exterior, but is a good guy. He may seem formidable, but has the ability to be passionate and nurturing. David and Cole are an interesting combination, but they work. Jason has created another exciting, action-packed, steamy story, which makes a great addition to the series.

The Museum of Jurassic Technology
A redesign of a museum website's visual branding and checkout flow
Project Role

This was an independent conceptual project

The Museum of Jurassic Technology
The Museum of Jurassic Technology in Los Angeles, California is an educational institution dedicated to the advancement of knowledge and the public appreciation of the Lower Jurassic. The public museum is a collection of specimens and other objects of interest to the scholar, the man of science as well as the more casual visitor, arranged and displayed in accordance with the scientific method.
The Ask
My task for this project was to identify usability issues with the website and conduct a redesign based on my findings
Initial Assesment
I began my research by conducting a heuristic evaluation of the current site based on Jakob Nielsen's widely accepted heuristics of user interface design. From there, I identified 3 main problems, all of which made it difficult for users to find pertinent information and move naturally through the site:
Learnability - Unclear naming conventions and lack of common UI patterns made it difficult to understand where specific information could be found
Efficiency - Lack of global and local navigation (exasperated by unclear naming conventions) meant the user had to go back to the main menu page each time information was not found on the first attempt
Satisfaction - The visual design was reminiscent of the early 90s and exhibit and menu photos were grainy and did not logically represent the words that supplemented them.
Understanding The Current Structure
I then created a site map in order to visually understand the current structural organization, content and functions of the current layout.
As you can see, the website was divided into 2 different sections: the museum shop and other general information about the museum:
I also discovered that the museum shop had unconventional naming conventions for the local navigation, and that there were 3 different design aesthetics within the site from general information to the museum shop to the checkout flow once an item was added to the shopping cart.
Meeting The Museum's Visitors
Before I began the design process, I needed to know more about the museum's visitors both in the digital and physical space. I conducted 5 interviews of the museum's visitors, from which I created a persona to frame the context of my research and design solutions:
Observing Visitor Behaviors
I also observed 5 potential visitors using the website to learn how they navigated the site and accomplished specific tasks. During the interviews, I asked users to complete the following tasks:
Task 1
Find information on current exhibits in order to assess how easily users can find general information of the site.
Task 2
Purchase a book to assess the checkout flow.
Because the main menu was on a separate page, users navigated back to the menu page a total of 18 times while attempting to complete a single task.
60% of users looked for a search button as a secondary solution when they could not find a specific product in the museum's online shop.
Identifying The Key Features
With user research affirming the site's key pain points, I recommended 4 features to be included in the redesign:
Global and Local Navigation
To allow users to easily move through the site. Navigation on a separate page meant too many redundant clicks back and forth.
Search Bar
To function as a default for quickly finding information.
Consistent Visual Branding
To carry through the checkout process and eliminate any confusion or questions about the security of the payment process.
Updated Taxonomy
To logically guide user through the site.
Creating Logical Language
To ensure that the language on the site was logical to the users, I conducted 2 closed card sort tests:
First - With current taxonomy. I asked users to place main menu items and submenu items in a way that made sense to them. I also asked that they identify any items that were ambiguous or confusing.
Then - Based of the information I collected from the first test, I renamed the main menu and submenu items and asked a new set of users to arrange these in a logical order to validate my assumptions.
Conveying The Brand Personality
To inform the visual design, I created a moodboard. The museum itself is mysterious, unconventional and eclectic - somewhere in between your grandmother's attic and a natural history museum. I used dark tones to convey the same sense in mystery and intrigue that the physical space evokes and paired it with a parchment-beige tones and a serif, Scotch Roman font to give it a vintage, 18th century aesthetic.
Testing, Testing, Testing
I then conducted usability testing to test my design solutions and high-fidelity wireframes. I asked a new set of users to complete the same 2 tasks from the contextual inquiry to see if and how my redesign addressed user pain points identified earlier on.
I found that while users were able to find where to purchase a book without going back to a previous step, they wanted the option to add it to their shopping cart without having to view product information first.
Final Concept
The final redesign includes the following key functionalities and designs:
Global and Local Navigation
Main menu and submenu previously located on separate pages were moved up to global and local navigation always available at the top of any page throughout the site (except checkout, where the focus is narrowed on purchasing the item).
Consistent Visual Branding
Colors, fonts and overall website aesthetic is carried through all areas of the website, including checkout. This creates a cohesive visual flow for the user and alleviates any security concerns once users are in the checkout flow.
Colloquial Taxonomy
Ambiguous menu titles such as "Sundries" and "Museum Products" were renamed to more familiar language so that users could better find the information and products contained in these categories. Menu items were also highlighted to let the user know where they are within the site at all times
Quick Add
Visitors could hover to read product information and add an item to the cart from the main product page to reduce the amount of steps in the checkout process
Search Bar
To function as a default for quickly finding information
Introductory Gallery Images
Photos from the exhibits were previously low-resolution and buried within the site. To draw the user / potential visitor in, I featured these photos on the homepage and incorporated the quote from the original design.
Simplified Checkout Flow
Checkout was simplified to 3 easy steps and featured breadcrumb information to indicate which step the user is on

I'm not sure what it was that lead me to this. It could have been the ill timing, my inexperience, or rushing to get things done. Some how I tightened a bolt so tight that I broke (1) easy out, (5) black oxide bits, and devoured (4) grinding heads, and it is still locked in there. I prayed to the motorcycle god's, and recruited help from a friend, and after 12 or more labor hours on that bolt we finally called it quits last night so I could rest up for the big day.
Sunday night, the Captain's wife said to him, that maybe we should take this as a sign. That maybe this happened to save us from something terrible. Not quite the words one wants to hear from a family member. It was quickly shrugged off, and back to my bolt I did go. Two days ago I had readied myself for the possibility, or perhaps the reality, that I would be spending much more time with the Fly Rod, than with Two Wheels on this trip.
It's not as though we are taking an extra vehicle. A follow vehicle, and a trailer with a CB100 on it, was always the plan. My younger brother was slotted to drive the truck and trailer. He has considerably more experience than the other two with a trailer, but still less than is desired. As well, yesterday, my brother (whom just moved to Oregon from California) was told by a very friendly police officer, that he was not legal to drive in Oregon. Without getting into specific details, he could no longer drive the truck on the trip. Just the sign I needed. At that moment I realized that perhaps the bolt did break for a reason, but not to keep us from impending doom. But rather, to enable 3 other men to enjoy what will be a most spectacular trip.
Had my bolt not broken, and I was able to ride my motorcycle, I would be rather upset in the current situation; being torn between riding, and towing the trailer. But as it stands, I must resign myself to destiny, to actuality, and for the greater good of the other men on the trip.
I threw in my helmet and gear this morning, just in the off chance that I may be blessed with some riding time, on a bike that is not my own, on this wonderful first of summer trip.

After a strong first half in 2014, the European IPO market lost considerable momentum in the third quarter thanks to nervousness about a host of global political and economic issues.
According to PricewaterhouseCoopers' Q3 IPO Watch report issued today, Europe saw 76 IPOs that raised €6.6 billion ($8.38 billion) in the period ending Sept. 30 compared to the 145 IPOs that brought in €22.3 billion ($28.3 billion) in the second quarter.
"We've started to see the first signs that a little bit of the heat has gone out of the market place," said Mark Hughes, a partner in PwC's London Capital Markets. "There were a number of deals at start of July that were pulled due to market conditions."
Stock markets and investors, Hughes said, got spooked by a series of events throughout the quarter: the advance of ISIS in Iraq, the ongoing Syrian conflict, reports of Ebola's spread in Africa, and signs of weakening in some regional economies. In London, the looming Scottish referendum even proved to be a distraction.
That slowdown was also felt in the U.S. IPO market, which had 68 IPOs in the third quarter, down from 89 in the previous quarter, according to PwC figures. However, thanks to the Alibaba mega-IPO, the amount raised in the third quarter soared to $36.42 billion from $19.8 billion in the second quarter, according to the report.
The good news, on the European front, is that the fourth quarter is off to a solid start. In just the first week of October, European IPOs raised €4.3 billion ($5.6 billion), according to PwC. These included the closely watched Rocket Internet and Zalando IPOs in Berlin.
Overall, for the first nine months of 2014, Europe has seen 289 IPOs, compared to 173 for the same period in 2013. The region is likely headed toward its biggest year for funds raised from IPOs since 2007, before the financial collapse.
"Prospects remain good," Hughes said. "There are a lot of good deals in the pipeline."

OK, the royal wedding between Meghan Markle and Prince Harry is now history. However, the narrative continues, especially narrative commentary about the lovely Givenchy gown that Meghan Markle wore. With a price tag of over $300,000 and countless hours of craftsman ship, Meghan's gown is way out of the preview or budget of most potential brides. But, shouldn't it be? After all, Meghan married into the wealthiest royal family—the Windsors—in history.On the heels of the inaccessibility of Meghan's bridal gown, Fashion Reverie, with the help of so key bridal insiders, has assembled some wonderful alternatives for that savvy consumer that wants similar bridal fare without the steep cost. Granted these bridal alternatives are not for tight purses, but the cost does come down from a third of a million dollars. Whew!!
INES DI SANTO is always a favorite of Fashion Reverie. And our two bridal select alternatives to Meghan Markle's bridal gowns come from her spring 2018 collection. True to form, Fashion Reverie was front and center at Ines di Santo's spring 2018 bridal show.Simplicity was a key element in di Santo's spring 2018 bridal collection with the artist and fashion editor in mind. "This season became a dance with the artist and the editor in my mind. Not a stitch more than what was needed, yet full license to push a design that was simply more," explained di Santo.
Using techniques that are often found only in Couture design, Ines plays to the feminine side of a woman's beauty in both her bridal and evening collections. Raised in Buenos Aires with parents that inspired and supported her interest in the arts, Ines studied both fine art and design in Argentina and Milan. The signature, rich touch seen in each collection reflects the designer's Italian and Spanish heritage. INES DI SANTO gowns are available at top retails including Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman and additional authorized retailers worldwide.
Interestingly, JUSTIN ALEXANDER's spring 2019 bridal collection contained gowns that fit nicely into Markle's 'less is more' design aesthetic. (Again, Fashion Reverie was all in the mix at JUSTIN ALEXANDER's spring 2018 show. And in the front row, I might add!) Focusing his spring 2019 bridal collection on minimalism juxtaposed against diversity and modernity in style, JUSTIN ALEXANDER 's spring 2019 bridal collection demonstrated range in silhouette funneled through the lens of simplicity and elegance. Since its humble roots, JUSTIN ALEXANDER has become a contemporary designer and manufacturer of mid- to high-end bridal gowns and accessories. Each design is distinctly recognized for its vintage inspiration paired with progressive details. JUSTIN ALEXANDER gowns are available in more than 1,500 authorized retailers worldwide.

Question: cyst found by ultrasound; how serious is it?
|victrola - Wed Nov 12, 2003 7:48 pm
Share |
I just found out from my gp that I need to see a urologist because they found a cyst on my left kidney. What questions should I ask the urologist? How serious is this condition? I've done some searching on the net about it, but what I've found doesn't really describe me. Otherwise, I'm healthy, not in renal failure.... :?:
|Dr. Tamer Fouad - Wed Nov 12, 2003 9:02 pm
Share |
Renal cysts are abnormal dilatations of the kidneys, which result in the formation of fluid-filled sacs which are visible on ultrasound or CT scan. Renal cystic disease encompasses a broad category of kidney diseases. Some of these conditions are genetic, and may results in chronic renal failure. However, most cysts are benign growths that do not need to be treated.
Simple cysts are found in at least 50 percent of adults over the age of 50 and are a benign condition. The reason for their development is unknown, but it is likely a degenerative process related to aging. These cysts are usually asymptomatic and are found upon imaging of the kidneys for an unrelated complaint. It is usually easy to differentiate between a simple cyst and a renal cancer based upon their appearance on ultrasound or CT scan. Sometimes, this differentiation is less clear and may require additional imaging studies or other procedures.

You had to figure after Seth Collins reached Milwaukee in his quest to leave a big tip for an unsuspecting server that Minnesota was next. Last week, I told you about Collins, who is traveling the country in honor of his brother, who died and left a suggestion for his family that they make someone's day in his honor.
Yesterday, that someone was a server in Saint Paul. This time, however, a friend matched the $500 tip.
It got a solidly Minnesota reaction.
We're guessing you're next, Iowa.

I was interested in this book because I have 5 kids and my oldest daughter is now a teenager. I love to have resources on hand where someone else besides Mom or Dad can share insight on life. Sometimes hearing it from someone else can make all the difference. Each of the authors contributing to this book provide fresh insight on the challenges that we all face in life. You'll read about the story of Joseph from the Bible and get a couple different perspectives on that. Hank Smith provided a detailed viewpoint of how Joseph might have felt and how his life would have been vastly changed had he not chosen to forgive and continue looking up. I loved that perspective!
This book is a great read for teens and adults because the vignettes are short and easy to read in about five minutes. The lessons contained within aren't overly preachy--it's just great people sharing their own life experiences.
Because we recently made a huge move the second chapter by Whitney Wilcox Laycock really resonated with me and my daughter. It was fantastic to read someone experiencing the very same feelings some of my kids have experienced from the move. Her story was inspiring and I loved the way she shared her simple testimony.
This book would be excellent as a stocking stuffer for your teen or a pick-me-up when they are going through a rough patch. I encourage you to read it too!
This book was written by members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints and I love how each author shares insight into the tough struggles that teens will face as part of growing up and how they really can say, "I've got this!" and be happy.
I received a review copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
WOW! You have got to read this book!
Each author shares stories of when times were the toughest for them and show that by trusting in the Lord a way was provided to get them through those most hardest of times--
Whether life has you down right now or not this book is packed full of inspiration! LOVED EVERY WORD OF THIS BOOK! A MUST-READ FOR SURE!
This book is amazing! I loved each one of the chapters in this book. It's written for teenagers, so it's really a quick read, I read the whole thing in less than an afternoon, but it's packed with great advice and spiritual lessons that teens need in this crazy world!
This book is broken up into chapters by author. I loved each and every one of the authors and was amazed by the challenges that some of them have gone through. And the lessons they have learned are something that we can all learn from. I loved that directly after Whitney Wilcox Laycock's chapter there's one written by her dad, Brad Wilcox, that gives a little more definition to her chapter.
This is a great book to have your teen read, but I can tell you right now that adults can learn from it as well, and that's a great thing!
All of us human beings get down from time to time. The fact is life can be really hard and discouraging sometimes. Throw in adolescence and confusion often reigns supreme. That is where books like this one come into play. This compilation of stories and advice from those who've been there makes for an encouraging read as well as a strong reminder that bad times won't last and there is a way to pull it together and make it through. Trials related to loneliness, physical pain, football, and mistakes all come up in these stories. Stories of hope and faith, of ordinary individuals, and scriptural heroes, all of whom have had to learn to rely on God to help them conquer their tough times. I thought the two versions of the Joseph of Egypt story were interesting. Same story but very different retellings. But the lessons learned are still very powerful and important. I found the book to be very interesting because I love stories about people like me who face tough times with inward and outward struggles but who never give up and with God's help find what they need to truly be able to say, "I've got this!"
I read this book in one short sitting. I'm excited to pass it along to my teenagers. There are quite of a few of their favorite speakers in this book.
From Hank Smith's gripping retelling of Joseph (I cried) to the humor of Zandra Vranes (I snorted), there is a great collection of stories and wisdom on to look up when life has you down. The stories are short enough to read quickly but written well enough to move the reader.
I totally enjoyed every story and thoughts!

Formatting...Weekly Weight Update
The more and more I write these weekly weight updates the more I realize that the reader must be incredibly bored with the structure. At this point, you know I work out on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. You know that I usually run on Tuesday and Saturday and go to OrangeTheory Fitness on Thursday and Sunday. You know that I try to eat right (although this past week has been a bit of a stretch on that with Halloween and all) and we eat the same thing during the week. With that in mind, it is time for a change of format.
Don't go too crazy, it isn't as if I'm going to completely drop the weekly weight update or stop writing altogether. I've decided to become more regimented in formatting my weekly weight update. So for the foreseeable future (it is, in fact, my blog so I have the option of changing how I do it whenever I please) I'm going to go with a four section structure for each weekly weight update post.
Part I - Tales from the Week: This section will have a single story from the week. Hopefully it is entertaining or informative but it will just be a single story.
Part II - Weekly Weight Update: This is the section I will provide, well, my weekly weight update.
Part III - Bring It On!: This section will continue to provide the rundown of the Bring It On! Mileage challenge that Rizzo and I are locked in. Hard to believe that we have completed 10 months of the challenge.
Part IV - PS: This section may or may not exist depending on the week but it will basically be a recap of pictures I want to share.
Ready to get going? OK, let's give it a whirl!
Tales from the Week - Making Lunch
Our eating strategy here in the Clizzo household is to decide on our single meal for the week then make it in bulk. So for example, this week I planned to have oatmeal and eggs for breakfast, jambalaya pasta for lunch, and ham for dinner. Same three meals everyday for the week. It usually works out but sometimes the measurements just aren't right or we may eat lunch on a day that we didn't plan to eat lunch so by the end of the week we are out of food and we don't have anything to make for lunch.
That is what happened this week. The jambalaya pasta was amazing (I can't emphasize this enough) but we only ended up making eight servings even though between Rizzo and I we need 10 servings for the week. For me it isn't a big deal because working from home allows me more flexibility to go grab something out (even though it is not nearly as healthy). Rizzo, on the other hand, can't just run out for a quick bite without taking all of her students along with her (that's a joke) so dining out is not an option.
By Friday of this week we had run out of lunch for Rizzo to take so I took an inventory of what we had on hand and decided to whip up my own version of a macaroni and cheese. I'm going to do my best to describe how to make it but it won't have many specific measurements because I made it up as I went along. I didn't actually measure any of these ingredients and just hoped for the best. Like to hear it, here it goes.
I started off by making the pasta. This was just for Rizzo so I made about 1.5 servings based upon the serving size on the box. In this case we are talking about little, tiny macaroni pasta because we had a few extra boxes on hand. I filled up a pot with enough water and boiled the pasta per the instructions on the box until it was al dente, or about six minutes. I poured the pasta into a strainer and left it sitting in the strainer while I made up the cheese sauce.
I made the cheese sauce in the same pot that I used to boil the pasta. I started by melting about 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat then mixed in some milk. Once the butter was melted completely and the mixture was hot I started spooning in a little bit of flour at a time. I didn't want to add a ton but just mixed in a little bit at a time until the mixture was a little bit thicker but still pretty runny.
At this point I shredded some left over Gouda cheese from Rizzo's snack this week into the mixture. Rizzo loves cheese so I shredded a lot into the pot and kept stirring until the entire mixture was melty and cheesy. I wanted it to be a bit thinner so I added milk and stirred until I had come up with a nice looking cheese sauce. To finish off the sauce I added some smoked paprika for flavor and cut up some leftover ham for some protein (because we all know there is no protein in cheese).
I added the pasta back to the pot and mixed together the whole thing; pasta, cheese sauce, ham, and spices. It was looking pretty nice but it needed to be backed for awhile. We have some individually sized ramekins so I poured the entire mixture into one of the ramekins and set my toaster oven to 350 degrees. While the oven was heating up I shredded some Parmesan cheese (we always have this on hand for popcorn consumption) over the top of the pasta concoction. When the oven was ready, I popped the ramekin into the oven for about 15 minutes and then, voila, lunch was served.
I was pretty impressed with myself that I was able to come up with this kind of creation on my own without help from a recipe. I suppose my monthly experiment with cooking something new (see Make Me a Sandwich!) is really helping me become a better cook. Bobby Flay I ain't but I can make a few things.
Weekly Weight Update
I'll say that this week I didn't feel comfortable with how it was going. I felt like I was eating too much (especially Halloween candy) and not working out enough. I don't know why because I went for my runs on Tuesday and Saturday and I went to OTF on Thursday and Sunday, as per usual. I suppose that the last few months of being at a plateau has made me feel stagnant which is making what I do seem to not work. I'm pleased to report that I basically maintained even though Rizzo and I went out for our theatre date-night on Saturday right before the weigh-in. This week resulted in a current weight of 207.4 which is a weight loss of a whopping .2 lbs this week's and makes the total weight loss 60.4. Not bad for a Halloween and date-night week.
The first two days of this week represented the end of October and going into it I was pretty confident I'd be winning this month. I had a 3.6 mile lead which isn't insurmountable for a mileage queen like Rizzo but I was determined not to lose another month. I didn't have anything crazy but I was consistent and ended up winning the month of October with 167.5 miles to Rizzo's 163.0 miles. To congratulate myself I'll be spending a night out with some friends drinking beer and watching an impression of the Dave Matthew's Band. It will be good times. I also was victorious during the week with 35.4 miles compared to Rizzo's 32.6 miles. I'm not sure what I'll be doing to celebrate my November victory but I better start coming up with something because victory is inevitable. #TeamClark #NotAtAllConfident
P.S. Here are some other pictures from the week.

Web Apps and the iPhone/
As I've mentioned previously I'm a huge Apple fan but not when it comes to the proprietary nature of iPhone apps and the approval process that one has to go through. I'm just too much of a browser guy to sign up for that so I have been following pretty closely what people are doing with Web Apps for the iPhone and I just happened to launch the Buzz URL (very cool Google app in my opinion despite the lousy launch - just search on my name to follow me) on my iPhone and this popped up:
Neat way to guide users to put Buzz right on their Home Screen, I may have missed it before but I haven't seen a provider do this up till now. One more reason to think that Web Apps can replace iPhone apps and with one set of code run on as many smart phones as possible. Good news for us and other providers who want to create interactive mobile applications for their digital signage networks.

Tampa Real Estate Heats Up, Builders Start Construction to Keep Up
Over the past few months, the Tampa Bay real estate market has seen its busiest spring selling season in years leading to an uptick in home sales and a decline in inventory. That decline in inventory has led Florida home builders to start new construction as inventory falls below a healthy six-month supply in the Tampa Bay area.
Statewide, the Florida housing market has seen 16 months of year-over-year price gains with home sales increasing 17 percent. In the Tampa Bay area, nearly 3,200 homes were sold in April, a dramatic difference from the barely 1,000 homes sold in January 2008. Additionally home prices increased by 15 percent year-over-year in April with the typical Tampa Bay home sold for $150,000.
While the increased buyer demand is a positive sign for the housing market, it can make the home buying process frustrating because there are not enough homes. Tampa Bay home builders have answered by breaking ground on nearly 1,500 new homes in the first three months of 2013, a 46 percent increase from this time in 2012.
At Highland Homes we offer beautiful Florida real estate in communities throughout the Tampa Bay area including the recently announced townhome community, Oakwood Terrace, and single-family home communities, Covered Bridge Estates and Palmetto Estates. With more than 40 floor plans to choose from and homes affordably priced from the low-$100,000s, buyers are sure to find the home that meets their wants, needs and budget. To make purchasing a new home even more affordable, qualified buyers can purchase their home for just $99 down.
Affordable pricing and low mortgage rates make now the right time to purchase a new home in Tampa Bay. For more information on our Tampa communities, as well as our new homes in Orlando, Lakeland and Winter Haven, visit the Highland Homes website.
