A 15-year-old girl allegedly kidnapped from inner Sydney last month tearfully pleaded with her male attacker to "stop being a creep and take me back" before he raped her in his car, a court has heard.
Saad Khan, 38, faced court on Thursday charged with kidnapping and aggravated sexual assault over the incident, which is alleged to have begun in Potts Point on December 8 last year.
The young woman has told police she and a friend, who had earlier visited the Wayside Chapel, agreed to "go for a drive" with Mr Khan, getting in his silver Honda Accord in Darlinghurst Road about 11 o'clock that night.
When the teen's friend got out of the car to buy a can of Coke from a 7/11 convenience store in William Street, Mr Khan took off with the 15-year-old girl trapped in the back seat, court documents allege.
As he drove in the direction of Sydney Olympic Park, Mr Khan allegedly asked the teen repeatedly if she wanted to "hook up" or "have sex".
She pleaded: "I'm not going to do that with you. Stop being a creep and take me back to 7/11."
Police allege Mr Khan grew increasingly angry at her rejection before pulling his car off to the side of the road lined with bushes.
"You make me feel like a piece of shit and you make me feel like a scumbag," he allegedly said.
He then allegedly forced the teenager to perform oral sex.
The Marsfield man is then accused of telling her to "lay down", pushing her chest until she was on the car's floor.
He then ripped off her skirt and underpants before forcing her to have sexual intercourse, the girl told police.
After the alleged assault, he agreed to take the teenager back to the 7/11.
"Thank you, that's all I wanted," he allegedly said on the drive back to Sydney's CBD.
When Mr Khan drove back to the Potts Point area, he was pulled over by Kings Cross police for driving an unregistered car.
He was allowed to drive off, but the teen was taken back to the police station for an unrelated matter.
Police said the 15-year-old began to cry at the station and told them she had been sexually assaulted.
The teenager returned to her home on the state's central coast where she was interviewed by detectives on December 10.
Officers arrested Mr Khan at Ryde police station on Wednesday and charged him with detaining a person with intent to obtain advantage and two counts of aggravated sexual assault.
He was formally refused bail in Burwood Local Court on Thursday by magistrate Bruce Williams, and his lawyer said he would apply for bail when the matter returned to court on January 22.

Jonathan Edwards on the need for Thanksgiving
I found this quote in the Jonathan Edwards online library. It is rather apt as my American friends prepare to celebrate Thanksgiving. This week we are focusing on Edwards here at the Patheos Evangelical channel. As part of that my friend Frank Viola posted a great contribution "The Shocking Beliefs of Jonathan Edwards" that is well worth a read. Here then is Jonathan Edwards on thanksgiving.The godly, those who have that inestimable blessing, have cause to bless God which cannot be e … [Read more...]
Martin Luther's contribution: so important that God himself foretold it
We stand in the debt of those servants of God who prompted the Reformation. I am unashamedly Protestant. I believe that the work of Luther and Calvin among others was critical in recovering the gospel itself, which had largely been lost for centuries.Yes, cynics would say all we have done is replace a single pope with thousands of them, all thinking they have infallible interpretation. There has indeed been great division. But the Reformation restored mankind's direct connection with the … [Read more...]
"The church is looking for better methods, God is looking for better men"
E.M. Bounds was not overly enamored with church growth methods or management techniques. He believed real power comes from a different source: the Holy Spirit anointing a man. Those who want to reject the celebrity preacher culture do need to beware that they don't also reject the way God works by raising up men to do his work: We are constantly on a stretch, if not on a strain, to devise new methods, new plans, new organizations to advance the Church and secure enlargement and efficiency for … [Read more...]
How did the early church view baptism?
When it comes to the issue of baptism, there is not a little disagreement among Christians. I am, as many of you will know, a baptist. I believe that the Bible is clear about baptism. I think it is easy to demonstrate it is an initiatory act that is supposed to follow faith, and hence cannot be performed on infants.I believe that baptism is the primary way a new believer is commanded by Jesus himself to dedicate themself to God. I believe that it requires much water and is to be performed by … [Read more...]

I don't just believe in God, I met with him this morning
We Christians today don't often talk about our spiritual experiences. There are all kinds of valid reasons for that. However, as the following section of my book Raised With Christ shows, Packer and the Puritans disagree with us. Now when Packer and the Puritans would seek to correct us, we should sit up and at least take note: It is remarkable how infrequently experiences such as those described below are mentioned, either during preaching or in modern Christian books.

As you all know, I have been involved in some things with the wiki for the past few days. Initially, I thought I was doing the right thing because I trusted Yuzura because he was a friend. I soon came to realize that I was in the wrong after Yuzura was banned. I apologized to ATG, and sincerely meant it, and admitted that I was the problem and that it would not happen again. ATG accepted my apology. Well, I get on today after work (I'm interning with the Police now) and I realize I have been demoted by staff without being told at all. Through all of this, Tavis especially told me that I was doing okay and to just let it go pretty much. Well, I DID that. Still demoted. As soon as I'm demoted, Tavis wants his power back. I don't know if it's just me or not, but I thought this whole wiki situation had to do with keeping each other out of the loop. Also, I just talked to Tavis, and apparently the crats had nothing to do with it, which baffles me. Someone reported me to Staff, I know that much, but I don't think they gave the full story. Anyone that actually knows me knows that I'm not ACTUALLY a bad person, hell, I can't be. I'm a policeman. I am just wondering why it is that I lost my rights this way, and the person who reproted me won't even have the guts to tell me they did. There's this old code called Chivalry the knights used to follow. It was a code of honor, courage, and discipline, and it kept the world an honorable place. but what times are these when someone can't even tell the truth? Barely times at all.
There's my rant, please let me know what YOU think. I know I am not perfect, but I do think that losing my rights was a bit unfair. I'll put a voting forum up as well. Here's the voting page: http://adventuretime.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:Public_Opinion_time!

New Delhi: Expressing his disapproval at the selection of young Parthiv Patel as the specialist wicket-keeper in the Indian World Cup squad, former national selector Madan Lal on Monday said Vijay Dahiya or Ajay Ratra would have been a "better choice". "The selectors were left with no choice. Deep Dasgupta was the only other wicket- keeper picked in the probables, and everyone knew that he wouldn't get through. But Dahiya would have been a better choice for the One-day style of keeping," he said at a book release function here. Former India stumper Syed Kirmani also agreed with Madan Lal, saying, "No matter how great a cricketer one might be, you need to be a wicket-keeper to understand the finer points of wicket-keeping," in an apparent allusion to Rahul Dravid keeping wickets in the World Cup.
"Dravid is a class batsman and is one of the keys to India's prospects, so we shouldn't take any chances with him. "I would not like to be too critical at this juncture, since the team has already been chosen. Parthiv is a young talent, and he should be given the right exposure," he said. Kirmani said the debacle in New Zealand should act as a motivational factor for the Indian team and would exhort them to put in its best for the World Cup. "I have no favourites, this is cricket and anything can happen," Kirmani said when asked who he favoured to lift the trophy.

He looked back upon the massive wall, an orange sunset standing out in the background. The sun falls further beneath the wall, until some of the yellow sphere is no longer visible.
And there it lays. Beckoning him. The outside world. The world beyond these walls. The world he had always dreamed of. It was nothing like he had imagined. It's better, he thinks. His eyes cower in the face of the sand, blowing in the gentle breeze. It never blows like that in Ba Sing Se. How could it, behind stone walls... they trap us.
Entrapment. Sadness.
He has broken free, and he's on his way into the world. His heart drops, as he gazes upon a mechanical wonder. A massive drill, spinning slowly, inching its way through the wall. Suddenly, some sort of goo pops out, and steam pours from the contraption of death. It just...stopped.
He walks out into the vast sea of brown that awaits him. The dust blows gently in the hot desert sun. And it brushes his face, softly. But it burns his eyes so. The dust is happy to him.
Never before had he experienced the breeze massaging his face. The gentle, soft wind, caressing him ever so happily. He rides down the stones of the wall, barely hearing the roar he creates. The breeze, the chirping birds. The freedom. Liberation. He smiles brightly, and imagines what it's like to live without walls.
Without boundaries.
Without rules.
And without entrapment.
He leaps off the wall, and uses his Earthbending prowess, catches himself. He made a mistake imprisoning me. He proclaims. I'm freeing this city, this prison...this dystopia.
He blows through the sand, using it as his power. And nobody can tell him not to.
Free. He repeats. After two years in that prison, that prison within a prison, I walk free. No one can execute me if I yell at someone. I can fight. I can... I can... live.
He runs away from the city, from his old life. He leads a new life.
A life of freedom.
His eyes glow with joy, and sadness of the few things he leaves behind. You'll see them again. And you'll get your revenge on him. He promises himself.
He won't be gone forever. He'll be back.
To free them all.
To let them feel what he feels now, to save them from their contentment. That city was no more than buildings with rules. Its citizens... soldiers, trained to follow the strict code. I'm not one of them. And I never will be.
He rides across the desert, and gazes upon the miles of sand. Of dust. Of dirt.
It was an abandoned wasteland. It was uncivilized. There was nothing. There were no rules. Only sand, a sky, and the sweet chill of the night in a desert.
He grins widely as the sun vanished under the horizon of the vast dunes of sand. And as he is distracted, he lands atop a man.
He asks the man. "Who are you?"
The mystery man answers, but deflects the question. "Who I am is not important. Who you are, and why you are here, on the other hand is," he demands, suspicious.
Typical citizen. Always suspicious. Always obedient.
He answered, though reluctant. "My name, if it matters... is Jong."
- This chapter takes place during The Drill
- Jong's name is inspired by Jeong Jeong's.
- The man Jong meets is a character from the original series.

About the Creator
Andre' Mayeaux, an artist with a natural-born talent, never thought art would become his passion. At the age of 5, he found his calling - bringing life to a blank canvas. Mayeaux began to learn more about art, shapes, figures and colors to craft his skills. After high school and graduating from Sam Houston State University with a Bachelor's of Fine Arts in Advertising and Graphic Design (2001), Mayeaux expanded his knowledge in various media of art including oils, acrylic and charcoal. For Andre', there are no limitations when it comes to art, only what you limit yourself to. He continues to explore various aspects of design and experiments with new millennial concepts of graphic and life design. Mayeaux admits that art is an evolution, a growth with each new piece, but critics have already noted that Mayeauxs true talent is elevating each piece of art with his keen eye for detail and light.

Sorry I haven't blogged in a while, the holidays more or less impede me from doing any sort of art (though I did a few sketches I might post later). But for now, I'm posting this scan. Because it's amazingness is just too out of control for me to keep to myself. (I'm pretty sure it's form some marvel team-up issue, ha).
Because its not a time for tea, it's a time for action.

Danielle Mills, HotSeat Recruitment...
Having attended the On the Button Social Media Strategy Training Day earlier this week, I can wholeheartedly recommend this Company to anyone that is looking to brush up their social media know-how. My training took place on Monday just gone and I couldn't wait to get back to my office to put everything into practice. I have followed the advice and information I was given over the last few days and I have seen amazing results already – It's only Friday! I actually thought I had a good all-round knowledge of the main social media sites but I have learnt SO much about how to bring them all together to work alongside one another in a really professional way that generates interest and results. Katie and Mark have shown me that you don't have to spend hours per day on social media management; just some carefully thought out planning and schedule once per week should be all it takes to keep your brand awareness consistent and strong. The training day itself was brilliant; friendly people and a relaxed environment. Nothing was too much trouble for them and they went out of their way to ensure everyone was happy at each stage. I can't recommend them highly enough. Game-changers, that's what they are!
Catherina Scott-Hart, Newmarket Community Events...
Having completed 3 workshops with On the Button Social Media I highly recommend their services. Their customer service is second to none and their knowledge of Social Media is fantastic! They go way beyond what they need to do and provides excellent customer service and invaluable social media advice and support.
Sailesh Raithatha, As in Boat Limited...
Great course and in depth knowledge. Definitely recommended.

Federal prosecutors warned today that Zacarias Moussaoui might be issuing coded messages to other followers of Al Qaeda through handwritten court motions and urged a federal judge to bar him from filing documents that might contain secret messages.
In court documents, the prosecutors said Mr. Moussaoui, the only person charged in the United States in the Sept. 11 attacks, ''is presumably attempting to communicate with fellow members of that deadly terrorist organization.''
''It is widely known that members of Al Qaeda have communicated in code, and thus sealing the entirety of the defendant's messages is the only way to serve the government's compelling interest in preventing transmission of such messages,'' they said in the filing in Federal District Court in Alexandria, Va.
The judge in the case, Leonie M. Brinkema, has refused to make public several court filings made in recent weeks by Mr. Moussaoui, a 34-year-old French citizen who has acknowledged that he is a Qaeda member loyal to Osama bin Laden.
Judge Brinkema has said she will keep them under seal because they contained racist and threatening remarks.Continue reading the main story
In many of his handwritten court filings, Mr. Moussaoui, who is acting as his own lawyer, has used inflammatory language in attacking Judge Brinkema, his court-appointed legal advisers, the F.B.I. and Jews, among others.
In their papers today, federal prosecutors urged Judge Brinkema to go further and instruct the court clerk to refuse to accept into the court record any filing from Mr. Moussaoui that contains ''threats, racial slurs, calls to action, attempts to convey messages to someone other than this court, or other irrelevant and inappropriate language.''
News organizations have asked Judge Brinkema to reconsider her original order and agree to unseal the court motions that are currently shielded from public view.
They said in court papers last week that the order ''does not strike the correct balance between the government's legitimate law enforcement/security interest and the public's First Amendment and common law access to judicial records.''
Judge Brinkema is expected to schedule a hearing this month to hear from lawyers from the news organizations.
In their court papers, the news organizations have acknowledged that they do not have an ''absolute'' right of access to Mr. Moussaoui's filings. But they said the effort to block his court papers from public scrutiny singled out ''speech by the defendant on the basis of its content, divorced from any compelling need for secrecy.''Continue reading the main story

LG V10 is one of the best smartphones of 2015. It has everything to make it stand next to the top flagships of last year. It is powered by Snapdragon 808 and it's accompanied with 4 GB RAM. These are kind of specs from which you can never expect any sort of lag. Recently, I experienced text messenger lagging on LG V10. It was hard to accept the fact that a phone running on Android 6.0.1 and powered by such an amazing processor can lag while performing such a small and less processing power intensive job.
Spend some time looking for its solution and came across some good solutions which helped me to fix text messenger lagging on LG V10. I have shared all the potential solutions in the guide below. I hope they will help you out as well. For me deleting that one long conversation which had thousands of texts fixed the issue.
How to Fix Text Messenger Lagging on LG V10:
I will cover each and every method there is which can help you to fix this issue. You should try all these methods. And one of them might do the trick.
- First of all, you need to go to Settings -> General -> Smart Cleaning -> Temporary Files & Raw files -> Select App Cache and tap on Clean.
- Clearing cache won't delete any data present in your phone. So dont worry. It will improve and enhance performance of your phone. Its good to clean the cache of your LG V10 once in a while.
- As I said above. The solution for text messenger lagging on LG V10 for me was to delete one long conversation which had a lot of messages.
- Another thing that I noticed was third party keyboard using a lot of RAM and battery. It might be the reason of your text messenger lagging on LG V10. The fancy keyboards can slow down your typing speed and response of your messenger.
- Best solution to fix any kind of lag in any app is factory reset. If you perform factory reset on your phone. Your phone will be good as new. Only problem with factory reset is that you lose all your data. But if you have been using Google Photos to sync your pictures and your contacts are synced with gmail. There is nothing much to lose after a factory reset. Still if you are reluctant to hard reset your LG V10.
Tip: You can also use LG Bridge or LG Backup to completely backup each and everything present on your phone.
Make sure internal storage of your phone is not full. Android is designed in a way that it uses internal storage when RAM is not enough. If there isint any free space in your phone. It might be causing your LG V10 to slow down. You should have atleast 1 GB of free storage space in your phone.
Alternatives to fix text messenger lagging on LG V10:
- Above steps will solve the issue. But if you are still having problems. It's time to move out from the ugly looking messenger app of LG and move on to something better and more efficient. There are number of great texting apps you can use on your LG V10 as your default texting application.
That's all. In the conclusion, I am hoping that above guide fixed text messenger lagging on LG V10 and you are not frustrated anymore. If you still have any issues on LG V10 or any android phone. Feel free to contact us. You can also drop a comment if you know some other working fix for this problem.

Breaking the Wall of Text
I attended a talk by a doctoral researcher at the HCI International 2015 Conference, who presented her work on the emerging topic of contract visualization - an approach that aims at making legal contracts clearer and more user-friendly with the help of better typography, layout design and information visualization.
Her take-away message was that
What changes to legal information design might convey complex information in a more logical and intuitive manner? Can a standardized layout help demystify the legal wall of text into a clear, simple design that uses visual cues to support comprehension?
The following image shows the copyright policy of the DeviantArt community - one of the largest social networks on the web and a popular space for artists both amateur and professional to showcase their work.
In the large-scale content analysis of public conversations about copyright in different online communities, one clear theme that emerged was the prevalence of problems related to copyright expressed by creators in these conversations (Fiesler, Feuston, & Bruckman, 2014, 2015). The five major types were:
- Avoiding trouble
- Dealing with consequences
- Fear of infringement
- Dealing with infringement
- Incomplete information
Drawing from nutrition, warning, and energy labeling, as well as from the effort towards creating a standardized banking privacy notification, the process for constructing and refining a label tuned to privacy is presented (P. Kelley, J. Bresee, L. Cranor, and R. Reeder, 2009). Their user study methodology was particularly useful to me in understanding how a standard copyright policy compares with a restructured policy which employs visual solutions.
Private Parts is an open-sourced, customizable toolkit by the mobile security company Lookout to help developers implement visual, user-friendly privacy policies. This plug-and-play toolkit was the inspiration behind my responsive visualization framework for copyright policies.

MARTA On The Go
I used the MARTA app when I first came to Atlanta in 2014 for grad school with my Nexus 4. This was, of course, before the launch of Material Design. Being the preplanner that I am, the app was downloaded and set up on my phone. But after hours of travel and in a new city, I found myself lost at the Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport and had to ask somebody in order to catch a train going to midtown (read: a straight 4 on the severity scale). So as a personal project, I've redesigned the Android app with the conventional material-based styling.
Using the scenario of 'finding the train arrivals for a station', I first studied the current design for it's usability flaws.
With no dedicated home screen, the app defaults to 'Rail Schedules' at launch, thus lacking context.
The cramping of options not only hinders interaction but also wastes abundant screen real estate.
This screen loads upon selecting 'Next Train Arrivals'.
Once again, the interaction is compromised by this redundant screen that could have easily been included as a layered selection in the previous screen.
This screen loads upon selecting 'the system map' option.
The map defaults to a zoom level without giving an overview. Also, the lack of a search feature makes it cumbersome to find a particular station.
This screen loads upon selecting a particular station on the system map.
Without any information hierarchy, user's attention isn't drawn to the time sensitive data.
Since the current design is icon heavy, the starting point for my redesign began with using Google's Material iconography for the home screen with a flat navigation structure. The interaction and screen flow is explained below:
Mayo Clinic : Decision Aid
Patients and clinicians have different expertise when it comes to making consequential clinical decisions. While clinicians know information about the disease, tests and treatments, the patient knows information about their body, their circumstances, their goals for life and health care.
The current design is a take-home brochure which has gone through several rounds of iterations.
- Fluid interaction that doesn't interrupt conversation
- Can't have tutorial, interactions should be minimal and supportive of both patients and clinicians
- Avoid quantification/calculations that equates medications
Mayo Clinic's Knowledge and Evaluation Research (KER) Unit has developed a brochure consisting of 5 cards, known as decision cards, which enlist various side effects such as weight, sleep, sexual issues, withdrawal symptoms. The series of physical cards are used by the physician after identifying the problem faced by the patient, as an aid for himself as well as the patient to visually compare the various side effects of a medication and to decide which drug to take, based on the patient's expectations from the drug. However,
We began by conducting an interview with Ian and Maggie, the designers at Mayo, to clarify the problem space. To understand users' requirements, we studied 3 videos from Mayo showing the usage of the brochure during actual clinical encounters.
We created 10 design variations during two rounds of brainstorming. From wearable technology to novel interfaces, we explored a range of mediums for the design.
We also came up with a companion idea of a removable room to relieve stressfulness between patients and physicians and encourage conversation.
All our concepts could be divided into two broad categories:
- Reorganize information structure and utilize new visualization techniques
- Sequential interfaces following the task flow of the decision process
After 7 rounds of critique and clean-up sessions, we came up with two prototypes.
3 within-group subjects, with randomized prototype order, were assigned benchmark tasks and asked to think aloud while interacting with the prototype. We then collected qualitative feedback via brief semi-structured interview sessions.
Prototype 1 : Users commented on the fluidity and colorfulness of the interface and liked that they could see everything on a single page at one time. They liked the simple interaction mechanism base on clicking. However, they also agreed that discovering features triggered by double-click or long-hold would require instruction from other people.
Prototype 2 : Users liked the thumbnail for its interactions (e.g. reordering) and indication of state. They also felt like this prototype allowed for more specific comparison of drugs. However, they admitted to finding the number callout for each factor confusing.
The law says that pedestrians have the right of way. But do they really? With potholes, faded crosswalks, damaged pedestrian signs aplenty that right has been reduced to a safety hazard. Moreover, with the limited and inconvenient public transportation and parking constraints in the city of Atlanta, more and more people who are traveling by foot are affected by these hazards. Holistic is meant to be a quasi initiative by the City of Atlanta, Department of Public Works for reporting potholes and other pedestrian hazards.
This problem space has 2 main stakeholders – the pedestrians and the Department of Public Works in the city of Atlanta. My design solution mainly focusses on the pedestrians who will be the front-end users and input providers to the system. Because pedestrians are the ones bothered, they also need to be the ones who are vigilant and proactive in reporting issues. A mobile application that is transparent in its functionality and allows for maximization in its participatory affordances can serve as an effective tool to get pedestrians engaged with the problem space.
The current interface for reporting issues is a web form, hidden under a clunky information architecture of the Atlanta Gov site. The second web form option is by the advocacy group, PEDS, which is equally long and cumbersome with users having to fill in lengthy details such as their personal information every time they report a problem.
After gathering requirements from the existing solution, I created wireframes of the 3 main screens in Photoshop.
The next step was to architect the screen flow possibilities, as shown below. In creating this I realized that there was no need for a hamburger navigation menu since the interaction was entirely pre-defined.
Finally I prototyped the interaction and screen flow using Axure. Because this system is meant to overcome the lengthy process of reporting hazards, efficiency and learnability were top usability priorities in my prototype design.
This project began as a class assignment which I then submitted to the Georgia Tech HFES Atlanta Design competition. After receiving much positive feedback on its applicability, the next step for Holistic would be conducting evaluations with potential users to identify usability issues. As a more long term objective, collaboration with the Department of Public Works would be essential for an entirely 'holistic' deployment of this system.
Particle In A Box
Quantum Mechanics (QM) is the foundation for various science and engineering disciplines. However, educators face major challenges in teaching QM concepts to students given the abstract and non-experiential nature of QM. To address the above challenges we created and evaluated a virtual environment governed by the laws of quantum mechanics as a way to engage alternative ways of teaching and learning QM.
The prototype has been aimed at undergraduate students who have either taken or are taking an introductory QM course. We hypothesize that the game can be a valuable teaching supplement, which can provide multiple contexts for learners to understand abstract concepts of theoretical subjects and provide connections between these abstract ideas and their applications.
This project began in Fall 2014, when I was a volunteer helping out with storyboarding and visual design enhancements. In the following semester, I took on the UX Researcher role to develop preliminary testing instruments and conduct evaluation studies. The work presented here is of the game's 1st version.
The 1st version's 3 levels are depicted in the storyboards below:
The game is divided into two sections - Classical Mechanics World and Quantum World to help the student learn by comparing and constrasting the two distinct worlds. With the juxtaposition of these two worlds, players can experience that the Classical World is governed by the laws of motion that we experience in our daily lives and the Quantum World is driven by probabilities. To play the live version, click here.
The current research, which is in phase 1, is guided mainly by the question: To what extent do QM educational games impact student learning and knowledge retention? The approach towards evaluation has also been guided by this research question and includes both qualitative and quantitative methods, with people representative of the target audience. In order to achieve this we approached Professor Dr. Christine Payne of the School of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Georgia Institute of Technology and conducted an in-class study with students of her QM course. Here, the findings from that study, its implications and the plans for wider deployment are discussed.
A 30-minute focus group was then conducted to evaluate positive and negative aspects of the game as well to explore how the game helped the students understand QM concepts. Finally, the study concluded with a participatory design activity for which the students were given printed screenshots of the game including the tutorial slides. Just like the nature of quantum mechanics, it can be difficult to verbally explain all of one's feedback and therefore this activity allowed the students to highlight their feedback specific to a section of the game using pen, paper and post-its.
This provides basic validation that the game had no negative impact on content knowledge.
Some of the feedback from the focus group discussions was that the tutorials felt like reading a book and not part of a game. Transition between the two worlds was difficult to understand and many students were not able to apply the concepts learnt in the tutorial levels, in the gameplay.
The participatory design activity helped us to recognize errors in the content of some tutorial slides along with visual design improvements.
A larger sample size is being recruited for the next in-class deployment. This should provide both data on how the game performs with a greater variety of students, as well as greater power to examine those differences.

The Home Depot
Every product page at The Home Depot had the same layout regardless of the product category or the customer's journey to get to that page. As a UX Design intern in the Online UX team, my main summer project involved doing concept explorations to modularize their PIPs so that the displayed content would be based on:
i. categorical buckets of products and
ii. information pertinent to the customer's shopping behavior.

Delta Pass Redesign
Airports are bustling places that can often make the well-informed person feel overwhelmed. The current Delta boarding pass doesn't do much to convey information in a clear and consistent manner. There are several problems with its design, such as inefficient use of space, unclear information hierarchy and lack of attention to the different audiences it serves.
With this exercise we've tried to address the concerns listed above and make it easier for the different stakeholders to read and comprehend information in an efficient manner. We began by listing all the elements of the existing Delta boarding pass, which were approximately 15 in number. We then created persona types for each of the stakeholders, which are:
The use cases for each of these persona types is explained in the following section:
Andy is an IT Risk Analyst at Deloitte who leads the typical consultant life, travelling weekly for work from Atlanta to New York and back. Being a frequent flyer, he likes to show up just in time at the airport and travels light with just one carry on. He is well versed with the check in procedure and is most concerned about the boarding time.
Sonam is travelling to Atlanta for her graduate studies. This is her first time flying solo on an international flight. She is extremely well prepared and has planned her travel weeks in advance. For her flight she would like the boarding pass to give a step-by-step guidance.
Dr. Daniel is a professor at Georgia Tech who is travelling to San Fransisco for a conference. He has poor vision with a color blindness to green light. He is not new to travel but would want all the details to be listed in bold and big font for easy reading.
Hannah is a check-in attendant who performs the repetitive task of verifying passengers' information. She has 5 years of experience and knows exactly where to find the details she's looking for.
Based on the above use cases, we brainstormed about 10 concept sketches. These ideas ranged from enhancements to the existing form, alternate uses (e.g. bookmark) to product designs (e.g. keychain).
After in-class critiques we refined our designs into 4 main types, as shown below.
After a second round of in-class critiques we decided to pursue the bookmark idea with care to providing authority/veracity to the display of information. We did this by demarcating a separate shape and color to the flight related information while also keeping purely visual elements like the border in tact so that the artifact could serve as a personalized souvenir.
Posture Up
People in the United States spend less time on physical activity and more of their waking hours sitting, mostly hunched over, in front of a computer.
Posture related activity is currently less well represented in the functionality of available devices, but a company, Lumo Bodytech Inc., already offers devices giving feedback on posture for the lower back and for the upper back. These devices enable the tracking and sharing of posture activity, but to our knowledge, users who want to compare discrete performances face significant limitations when using currently available interfaces.
- Young adults (18+ years of age)
- Lead a sedentary lifestyle
- Want to improve their posture
- Regular interact with and enjoy playing digital games
- No diagnosed physical or mental disabilities
- Cognitive and perceptual abilities within the normal range
We observed an absence of research identifying the best standard to use as an ideal posture, either sitting or standing. This prevents us from defining within our design the ideal posture for any position. The design implication is that we may build a system that is really based on user definitions of an ideal, allowing users to use clinical motivations, goals of appearance, and other posture-related objectives.
The following storyboard explains an on-the-go use case of the application:
In our initial informed brainstorming session, we explored ideas with different interfaces from wearable technology to mobile & web applications. 3 rapid mockups of these interfaces were created and presented at an open poster session to the faculty and students of Georgia Tech.
From the general feedback and suggestions received, we found that the social posture challenge app would be best suited to reach a broader audience. Our next step was to prototype the screen flow.
- 1-on-1 usability evaluation sessions with 10 participants
- Wizard of Oz technique for two benchmark tasks
- Think Aloud protocol
- Semi-structured interviewing with qualitative evaluation
- Paper-based survey
Our system scored 79.17 percentile on the System Usability Scale [SUS].
Our system prototype was designed in response to existing sensors and anticipates the arrival of new sensors that can collect and share real time performance data. We will also implement new features in response to some of the feedback given during our testing sessions, adding a leaderboard and enabling users to define the parameters of wagers with total freedom.
What To Expect
'What to Expect' is an interactive simulation of the complex lifestyle choices a new, working mother has to face. Since there is no "one-size-fits-all" formula, decisions are made based on situational priorities. Choices involve trade-offs between variable factors and replay increases awareness about impact of choices in the long run.
- Take a family vacation
- Focus on your career
- Lose baby weight
- 6 months OR 12 months
- Your Health
- Baby's Health
- Savings
- Skills
- Happiness
- Successful : Score > 74
- Almost There : Score > 50
- Try Again : Score < 51
'What to Expect When You're Expecting' is considered the bible for to-be mothers across the globe and was the main source of inspiration for my game's story. The abstract model of this game focusses on several cultural values of fiscal responsibilities, importance of a support network and testing people's priorities as a parent.
Below are screenshots of some of the scenarios that are presented to the player:
- Complete scenarios for all 3 goals
- Allow for multiple choice selection with a time-bound feature
- Provide feedback on impact of decisions at intermediate levels
- Weigh actions more accurately by doing further research
Web Icons Design
Started by India's foremost comedian - Vir Das - Weirdass Comedy is the country's first comedy consultancy. It is a one-stop shop for comedy needs across media including television, films and even e-books. In addition to this, they also collaborate on projects with the country's top talents in the field of comedy, writing, performing and music. From the name to the logo, this company is all about puns and wacky humor. The website design style was being created keeping this in mind and as a Design Consultant for this project, I extended that style into my icon designs.
The client wanted circular icons that aligned with the comical theme of the rest of the site.
Invites : Print Graphics
Wedding Invite
This invite was created for a Hawaiian-themed, beach destination wedding in Goa, India. The wedding was between two different religious community members and had elements of traditional Indian as well as western culture.
The client wanted natural colors that resemble Hawaiian flora to be used. A main card, inner leaflet and envelope were to be created keeping this requirement in mind.
Baby Shower Invite
This invite was for a small shower to celebrate the arrival of a baby girl.
The client requested an elegant, vintage looking card and gave me complete flexibility to execute as I saw fit.

So, how do we make it grow?
What strategies of communication can we use in our home to encourage healthy, strong, deep roots of faith?
Deep Roots, Healthy Tree
How we interact with our kids at home will determing how far they will grow in their faith (Deut 6:4-8)
Strong Roots, Lasting Legacy
Our communication with our kids must be Real, Relevant, and Regular (1)
Deep Roots, Deeper Faith
Our stories, personal, ancestral, and biblical, coupled with faith in action will "write" God's Word on their hearts (2)
The Story: Give and Take
The Story
The metanarrative of Scripture, God's great rescue plan, is a continuing in our lives.
When we connect our kids to God in the everyday, we build faith that lasts (4)
Each member has a voice
Active Listening: Listening your child's unique voice with intentionality
Active listening is not just hearing, it's "being fully present"
Active listening says "YOU are an important piece to our plot."
Validation: Letting your child know they have been heard
Validation is not agreement, it's acknowledgement
Validation says "YOU are a part of the story!"
The Story: Receiving
Participating in God's Kingdom
Faith Talks - Intentional thematic conversations using Scripture as your guide
God Moments - Providential daily-life moments where biblical principals come to life
Celebrations - Pauses in time to share joy over spirit growth in a family member's life
The Story: Identity
Who Are We? Forming a "Corporate Identity"
In the business world, this personifies a company
For a family, this explains to us and others who we "are"
When asked to describe their family's faith, youth did not say what the family
; they described what the family
. James 2 (5)
Grow Your Roots
Faith Formation at Home
Ultimately our faith will grow because the Father is on our side. He is
us, He is
our kids, and He is
to save to the uttermost.

Tough. tough. tough. That's how we think you'll find Mystery Car 127 out on Drive On's Forum, pretty much the same thing I say every week even though our crack team of automotive detectives always prove me wrong.
This week, we don't give you much information in the photo. It's yellow. Or maybe you know those two guys. But we know many of you have found ways to figure out the identities of these cars before, so it's worth a try. After all, we didn't think Mystery Car 126 would be easy, and reader Marcolian didn't seem to have much trouble with it.
So can you tell us the year, make and model of this week's Mystery Car? DON'T ANSWER HERE. Rather, go to Drive On's Forum, the only place where we look for official answers to the Mystery Car. We'll tell you who was first to get it right here on Drive On next week.

I applied for the Graduate Scheme immediately after speaking to one of the existing graduates at my University Careers Fair. It was the opportunity to rotate around six key departments that attracted me to the role, as I knew it would give me a vital insight into our business.
I've moved through each of the six departments now- and it was definitely the right decision. This has given me a vital insight into Land Acquisition, Engineering and Construction, as well as Commercial, Customer Service and Sales – all of which have helped me understand the processes involved at each stage of a residential development. It has allowed me to understand the role that each department plays in this process and how they all link together.
So far I have most enjoyed my time in the Land department, learning about land acquisition. I am fortunate to have worked alongside experienced personnel in each department that were always happy to help. The training courses that Redrow provide are fantastic, they really care about your development.

Event: Homestead
Homestead 200 Marks Third of Four Florida Races for Sports Car Young Gun
HOMESTEAD, FL, February 28, 2011 - Bryan Sellers returns to Florida this weekend for the third of four scheduled sports car appearances in the "Sunshine State". The March 5, Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge (CTSCC), Homestead 200 is an opportunity to keep the sun shining on his back after a GT class podium finish in Grand-Am's premier event, the Rolex 24 at Daytona, late last month. The Braselton, GA-resident will share the No. 33 Sail on Travel Inc./Vion-Hitachi Data Systems BMW M3 Coupe with Jade Buford (Brentwood, TN) in Saturday's two hour, 30-minute race here at Homestead-Miami Speedway (HMS). The BMW, prepared by Georgia-based Kintetic Motorsports, will compete for overall honors in the Grand Sport (GS) class for production-based cars. The race marks the third in a planned 17-race, three-series schedule for the sports car racing "young gun".
Sellers opened his 2011 race season with a double-header at Daytona at the end of January. A mechanical issue - stemming from a rear impact of the BMW by another car - sidelined the No. 33 early in the CTSCC race preceding the 24-hour event. However, Sellers personally rallied the following day taking a career-best Rolex Series finish of second in GT class at the Rolex 24. It is that success the native Ohioan hopes to carry into Saturday's sprint race at the 2.3-mile, 11-turn Homestead-Miami circuit.
The South-Florida track, which mixes the circuit's banked oval and infield road course, has been the sight of previous, strong performances for Sellers. In fact, the former open wheel racing champion made his sports car racing debut here in 2005 winning the Rolex Series GT class pole position in his first-ever attempt. While Sellers will not be racing in Sunday's Rolex Series event this weekend, his experience and understanding of the facility should pay impressive dividends in Saturday's CTSCC event.
Sellers will conclude his Florida tour with the March 19 Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring. There he will pilot the No. 017 Team Falken Tire Porsche 911 GT3 RSR in American Le Mans Series GT class competition. The event will mark the first ALMS race of the season, and Sellers' final race appearance in Florida of the year.
Bryan Sellers: "I enjoy Homestead very much; it is a very tricky race track. It's very low grip and places car set-up at a premium and that is the kind of challenge I like. This is where I first started my sports car racing career and qualified on the pole in my first start. Hopefully we can repeat the same success I had then this weekend!"

Concord, NH - As part of a taxpayer funded district wide tour organized through his Congressional office, scandal plagued Congressman Frank Guinta held an event with "key members of the Wolfeboro GOP food chain," a potential violation of Congressional ethics rules. The event was reported on in today's Union Leader, and is the most recent instance of Congressman Guinta's belief that he is above the law.
According to the Congressional Ethics website "Among the specific activities that clearly may not be undertaken in a congressional office or using House resources (including official staff time) are ...the holding of a meeting on campaign business." [ethics.house.gov] But the event was listed on Guinta's Congressional website, and a Guinta campaign donor Bob Bird, who helped organize the event, told the Union Leader the invitees included "key members of the Wolfeboro GOP food chain."
"Congressman Guinta should not be hosting taxpayer funded Congressional events, and inviting participants based on their status within the NHGOP 'food chain,'" said Harrell Kirstein, press secretary for the New Hampshire Democratic Party. "Guinta doesn't think we should be using taxpayer money for autism research, Social Security, or Medicare, but apparently he has no problem using those same funds to support his drowning campaign."
This isn't Guinta's first fundraising scandal. Last year, he funneled over $350,000.00 into his struggling campaign account from a magically appearing bank account not listed on his personal financial disclosure form. Just last month, he was caught making a potentially illegal solicitation for $100,000.00 to the Republican Governor's Association.
But even with these questionable funds, Frank Guinta's constituents still have a negative opinion of him. According to the latest University of New Hampshire poll, "Guinta's net favorability rating... is currently a quite low -6%."
The full text of the Union Leader article is below.
Guinta is underwater. "Guinta's net favorability rating, the percentage that have a favorable opinion of him minus those that have an unfavorable opinion, is currently a quite low -6%, down from +5% in April. Guinta's favorability ratings have dropped across the political spectrum since April." [UNH Poll, 7/11/2011]
Guinta said he would not support federal funding for Autism research. Pressed on whether he was saying he doesn't support federal research into autism, Guinta said, "Government doesn't always have to be the solution." [Concord Monitor, 10/20/2011]
Guinta supported abolishing Social Security. At a small Tea Party gathering last year, Guinta said "My kids are six and five. They shouldn't know what Social Security is." [YouTube]
Guinta didn't believe the reckless Ryan plan to end Medicare went far enough. Earlier this year, Guinta voted for the Republican Study Committee budget, "a radical plan that annihilates the social contract in America by putting the GOP budget on steroids. Deeper tax cuts for the wealthy, more severe entitlement rollbacks." [Vote; TPM, 4/15/2011]
NH Democrats want Guinta fundraising answers. "Democrats on Monday asked the Federal Election Commission to investigate a news report about Guinta's fundraising published last month. The report in the New Hampshire Union Leader said 1st District Rep. Guinta tried to get the Republican Governors Association to donate $100,000 to the state Republican Party, but was rebuffed over concerns about former GOP chair Jack Kimball's management of party affairs." [Union Leader, 9/27/2011]
Union Leader: Guinta hosts forum with business chiefs
October 18, 2011
By LARISSA MULKERN
WOLFEBORO - First District Congressman Frank Guinta, R-N.H., the former mayor of Manchester, hosted a forum Monday with employers in Wolfeboro.
Guinta met with a group of about 30 that included business owners Babara Naramore of Wolfe City Brick Oven Pizza, Victor Drouin of Green Mountain Communications, Jerry Hunter of Hunter's IGA Foodstore and Cheryl Taylor of Re-Thread, plus Certified Public Accountant William Krause and state Rep. Chris Ahlgren, R-Wolfeboro, who owns Joe Green's Restaurant near the town docks.
Guinta campaign volunteer Bob Bird, who helped organize the event, said the group included "key members of the Wolfeboro GOP food chain."
Monday's forum was part of Guinta's "Getting Granite Staters Back to Work" initiative, which included two job fairs and a meeting for innovators looking to get their products to the marketplace.
Guinta was asked about escalating fuel and health costs, a 35 percent corporate tax rate that sends jobs overseas and untapped domestic fossil fuel reserves.
Guinta, a member of the House budget and transportation committees, spoke of regulatory reform, bipartisan approval of three trade agreements, budget reform and a congressional rule change that allows for amendments to be brought to the floor and turned into legislation.
"I really want your assessment on whether you are happy or angry, frustrated about what's going on," he said. Krause said that high gasoline prices are hurting every aspect of the economy, and that something should be done to outlaw short-selling and reduce the corporate tax rate from 35 to 25 percent to encourage domestic job growth. He said the high corporate tax rate is sending jobs overseas.
Guinta said the President Obama's own adviser on job creation, General Electric's Jeffrey Immelt, created more jobs overseas than here in the U.S. Guinta agreed that country has the highest corporate tax in the world.
He said lowering the rate to 25 percent and closing tax loopholes to broaden the tax base might provide incentive for American companies to create jobs. 'We are not competitive in America at a 35 percent tax rate," he said.
As for fuel costs, Guinta said the U.S. consumes more than twice the fuel than it produces domestically. He said if fossil fuel reserves were tapped, then the country could become self reliant for fuel and perhaps export fuel to other countries.
Drouin brought up the high health insurance costs. His company recently received a notification of a 56 percent increase in their health insurance premiums; the company offers 100 percent coverage for about 60 employees.
"So where do we go, what do we do?" he said, adding the one of the problems is New Hampshire is not opening up the market for insurance providers.
Guinta said President Obama's health care bill was supposed to cut costs. "Costs have not gone down," he said. He said carriers are bumping rates in advance of a 10 percent cost hike ceiling that begins next year.
Guinta said something should be done to open up the market to other carriers in New Hampshire to create competition.
In a query on a potential broad based sales tax, Guinta said it was unlikely to happen. However he said the House Ways and Means committee is considering a 20 percent reduction in income tax for small business owners.

Let's go backbone to the Pooh shower that you are planning. Pooh without doubt loves honey, so you could position this by ration afters dishes or dishes wherein honey the stage a big part. That should earlier curb your scope, and distribute you an thought which dishes to order.
But you could go ancient history Pooh. How nearly thing cognate to Rabbit? Nope, we are not recommending you selection leporid mammal (unless you genuinely deprivation to).

By this time, you should simply have an mental object how to go almost your rainstorm carte.

It's Not My Fault
Written by Star of Airdrie
for .Faith-a-Saurus.
Winner of an honourable mention in the RobStar First Kiss Competition.
It wasn't his fault. Not at all. It was mostly Wally's. Not to mention Roy and his damn punch-spiking ways.
And don't forget TMZ. But really they just spread the information – it was the National Enquirer which originally ran the story and the photos. It was their fault. Not his.
Oh, and how could he forget to mention those evil geniuses at Photoshop? It was so their fault.
And truth be told it was Bruce's fault. Double-frickin'-identity. Playboy-life-as-cover. Keeping up the charade. His. Fault.
How hard could it be to keep two separate lives apart?
Did he really just ask himself that question?
Of course it happened in front of an audience. Like some scene out of 1950's sitcom, Starfire grabbed Robin's ear and dragged him out of the room. In said sitcoms, the mother or father or Nun generally isn't flying (unless it's Sally Field), but in Robin's case...
"Do you have the clue as to why I needed to hoist you by the pinna to remove you from the common area so we could discuss a private yet so public matter with you in my room of bed?"
"Ouch. Huh? No... Hey Star, you're beautiful and sooo sexy, did I mention that?"
"Oh X'hal, Robin. Now is not the time to do the flirting," she scolded, causing him to recoil. "Now I shall tell you why I brought you to the room of the bed."
He gave her a hopeful look; she ignored it.
"Let me do the telling of you. Why were you unclothed so that people could see all of your person including your... your... your kenorfdenstocker in public and yet remain clothed even in private while alone with me, your girlfriend, who you have finally professed is no longer just a friend who is a girl?" She took in a deep breath.
Since that kiss in Tokyo, Robin and Starfire had started a romance worthy of a pair of 1950's tenth graders, with some hand holding, generally chaste kisses and shy smiles. Robin was content, Starfire was frustrated but she refused to push, happy to have his attention after all these years. She'd anticipated he would take it slow even though they were well over eighteen. It look him more than four years to kiss her after all.
Well that was until that ill-fated night when the Titans had a party.
Oh by the way, that party was not Robin's fault. Not at all. No sir-ee. It was Cyborg's and Bumblebee's. And wisdom teeth.
Given that it was Robin's wisdom teeth, maybe it was partially his fault but no... no, he was not to blame; impacted wisdom teeth are a genetic issue after all, and you can't be blamed on your own genetics.
If Robin hadn't left for Gotham to have his wisdom teeth pulled, de facto leader Cyborg and Bumblebee wouldn't have had a chance to plan the party. And Robin wouldn't have been so comfortably numb on Vicodin that he actually authorized the party.
Ergo it can be blamed on the oral surgeon. And it's the pharmacist's fault as well.
The party was great, Robin had to admit. Perhaps the most epic get together they'd had since the post downfall of the Brotherhood of Evil Party. Well into the evening he was feeling so good about life, and was even getting braver with Starfire. They had a chance to dance, talk with their friends, and soon after he brought her (much to her delight) back to his room where he decided to try to steal more than a kiss.
When they got back things were getting out of hand at the party. But Robin felt great and Starfire was all cooey and he didn't want to spoil things by going all leadery...
And that Fubar punch that the Titans East had just mixed up was so good.
Yep, the Fubar was tasty and for some reason it actually relaxed him. Odd for such a sweet, sugary punch. His feelings were an aftereffect of that time with Starfire, Robin reasoned.
Oh, that was fun and they hadn't even taken their clothes off yet...
Wally and Speedy cornered him. Red flags should have gone up but didn't. The two were the only other Titans that had known who he was as a hero and as in civilian life. For whatever reason, 'now that you are finally getting cozy with Starfire, you have to tell her you're Dick Grayson. That's so going to get you laid,' made some sense to Robin at that particular moment.
Later - when he was kicking himself, something he was flexible enough to literally do - he realized that on the one hand, sharing his identity with Starfire was a good idea; but on the other hand, it had nothing to do with getting to laid, and in the big scheme of things, that was going to happen when he was good and ready.
Most likely in six or seven years given his cautious nature.
"I guess I will have to do the showing of you then." Starfire stated as she dragged Robin by the collar to her desktop computer. At least she remained on the ground this time. "I believe it is known as the irony that while I was checking the gossip of the town of tinsel on the TMZ, I came across a picture of my boyfriend which illustrates that he has no difficult doffing his clothing except in my presence."
"This appears to be you on the beach. I am assuming that when you were at the Batman's for ten days last month to do the training you instead were at the Rivera of the Frenchmen. I never realized while you were in your identity of civilianess that you were so... so... uninhibited!"
"Seriously Robin, until tonight,you had not even touched my grebnax and when you did it was over my uniform. We have yet to disrobe before each other – by your choice not mine, mind you – and here you are, as they saw, 'in all of your glory'!"
"Star, I'm not sure I'm following you-"
"Let me ask you the simple question then: If I were dating Dick Grayson instead of Robin, would I have seen your kenorfdenstocker by now?"
"Um, before I answer that, is a kenorfdenstocker what I think it is?"
"Yes. It is the Tamaranian word for your civilian first name."
"That wasn't nice, Star."
"Either is saying to your girlfriend that you are doing the training with Batman and instead you are doing the vacationing. As you may recall, I even asked you about the tanning of your skin and you told me that you had done a great deal of jogging during the daytime."
"Well, actually that part is true-"
"But you did not mention that it was on another continent."
"Well no, you're right." Robin gave a defeated sigh. "I did lie," he looked up at her, "and you're so pretty."
"Robin, do the focusing."
"I love your usement of the English language. Did you notice that? I said 'usement'. I'm teasing you cause I love you."
Starfire somehow ignored the first time Robin had proclaimed his love.
"We were discussing your vacation?"
"I'm sorry, it's just that I had to spend time with my um, former guardian and we went away for a few days."
"Who is Bruce Wayne, who is also the Batman."
"You figured that out? Wow. God Star, you're smart and gorgeous and sexy and I-"
She ignored the compliment. "Here look at these." She pointed at the computer screen that had been showing a naked Dick Grayson during their entire discussion. "Is this not you, Dick? In a state of the nakedness?"
"Oh, that. Wait, what? Let me see-"
"Are you that drunk?"
"X'hal Robin. The Fubar punch has the grain alcohol in it. As Cyborg would say, 'Some detective you are'."
"Star, that also wasn't nice. You're supposed to be nice. You're always nice. Especially to me." He gave her a lopsided grin. "Wait, naked?" He looked back and forth between Starfire and the screen. "That's me yeah, but that's just a tople-, a beach, but I wasn't naked!"
"So you are saying it is you on the beach, but instead of the naked, you were wearing some sort of clothing? Perhaps a suit of bathing?"
"Board shorts actually. The entire time. I swear to you, Star. We were on a private beach but I had shorts on." He silently prayed that she would not remark about the topless women in the background. "This is not my fault!"
"How did they get these pictures in the first place then Robin?"
"The paparazzi take pictures of me all the time, Star-"
"I realize that, Dick. They do the taking of pictures here in Jump as well of all of us as heroes and recently they have become quite interested in the two of us as boyfriend and girlfriend. And at some point, Mr. Grayson, we will do the discussing of your reputation."
"That's Bruce's reputation, not mine, I swear, Star."
"Really, Star, it's only you."
Starfire gave him a short smile before catching herself. "So you wish for me to believe that these photographs were the fabrication."
"Well, that's me, I was there, but they had the photos doctored to make it look like I was naked. So they must have. It happens. I'm sorry, Star. That's actually not quite what I look like... " He gave a bit of a proud smile that she missed.
"It is the o. and the k." She sounded dejected.
"I'm sure Bruce's lawyers are taking care of things as we speak."
Starfire moved away from her post at Dick's shoulder and started to pace the room, twisting her fingers a bit. She was unsettled, not quite able to figure out why. So the pictures weren't real. So Robin/Dick didn't show himself naked all the time. Pity.
Pity? Well, now she was getting a handle on how she really felt.
"I'm sorry this upset you Star, it really wasn't my fault, but I feel like I still need to make it up to you..."
Starfire looked at Robin and considered. She looked back at the computer. Even if the photo was the doctored, it was glorious. Perhaps she could persuade him...
"There is one thing you can do to make this up to me Robin," she purred. "It is not that I do not believe you, but I'd feel better in so many ways if I could do the seeing of the real thing-"
Robin grinned, more than willing to play along. In a remarkable about face, he was up for what she was asking. "You do mean all of me and not just my kenor-whatever?"
"While I am very interested in seeing your kenorfdenstocker," she dropped her eyes to gaze in its direction, "but it is my wish to see all of you."
"I think I can handle it," he replied with a smirk. "But Star?"
"Yes Robin?" She cocked her head, awaiting the question.
"Would you mind, um, undressing as well?"
"Silly Robin, do you honestly think that would have been a problem for me?"
"Um, no?" It came out as a hopeful question.
Within ten seconds she had off her party clothes and Robin forgot to breathe. Or how to swallow.
Starfire giggled. "Do you need some assistance with your uniform, Robin?"
"I think I have it."
"I'm sure you do. But I'd like to help anyway... to expedite things."
"Oh, in that case, go ahead."
Epilogue – Several hours later...
Robin woke with a bit of a start.
What about that tape quite a while back? It was destroyed, right?
Well, that wasn't his fault either. It was Poison Ivy's fault. That stupid potion of hers. And Bab's fault. And Bruce for giving them not quite enough antidote for their belts to completely counteract the potion's effects...
Thank you for reading! Reviews always appreciated.
TMZ – TMZ stands for the Thirty Mile Zone and is a website that delivers celebrity news and gossip.
The National Enquirer is a fifty plus year old 'supermarket tabloid' that boasts 'Celebrity News' and is know to have uncovered some incredible stories that were true (John Edwards' love child) and many that were not (ummm... how many ET's talking to the Presidents through the years – but that might have been The Globe... but they do get an occasional story wrong occasionally – don't sue!)
Sally Field starred in the sitcom 'The Flying Nun' that ran on ABC from 1967 to 1970.
Pinna - The visable part of the ear.
FUBAR – stands for F*'d Up Beyond All Recognition. Fubar the tasty beverage is to be enjoyed in moderation when you reach the legal drinking age where you love has various forms and the one I'm acquainted with is red Hawaiian Punch and grain alcohol. Vodka is a good sustitute. So is ginger ale. Grain alcohol is 190 proof which is 95% alcohol. It's deadly. You really don't want to mess with it. It is, with the exception of 151 Rum, about twice as much alcohol as most hard liquors.
It is canon that members of the Bat family have been among the people that have fallen under the influence of Poison Ivy's various plant-based serums and toxins, many of which use a seductive and/or mind controlling element. Some she administers herself via a kiss, attracting people via pheromones, while others can be transported and used by others. They affect both men and women, although she generally is kinder toward women.

Feb. 23, 2012, Fairfax, VA—Americans for Limited Government (ALG) has submitted a formal complaint with the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) asking it to investigate the attorneys who provided the legal justification for Barack Obama's unconstitutional recess appointments.
The complaint — submitted to the DOJ's Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) — requests that Assistant Attorney General Virginia A. Seitz and other attorneys at the Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) be investigated for their roles in drafting a January 6, 2012 memo that retroactively justified Obama's appointees to the National Labor Relations Board (NRLB) and the recently-created Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB).
"The Obama administration is deliberately trampling on the Constitution in an effort to advance its radical anti-free market agenda," said ALG President Bill Wilson. "This isn't just an abuse of power — it's an unconstitutional usurpation of power. All Americans should condemn Obama for the contempt he is showing for the rule of law — and the Justice Department attorneys who aided and abetted this usurpation must be held accountable for violating their oaths."
According to the ALG complaint, the DOJ memo authored by Seitz "leaves no practical constraints on the appointment power of the President, regardless of whether the Senate considers itself in recess or not. The memo also utterly ignores the constitutional right of the Senate set its own schedule and rules."
To view the complaint, click here.
"Obama is stripping the legislative branch of its constitutional prerogative so that he can continue to appease his union allies," Wilson said. "It's one thing for him to continue rewarding the labor leaders who bankrolled his election, it's something else entirely for his administration to violate the Constitution in the process."
There is legal and political precedent for the OPR to conduct precisely the sort of inquiry that ALG is requesting. In fact the agency spent several years investigating former Justice Department attorneys John Yoo and Jay Bybee regarding the advice they provided former president George W. Bush on enhanced interrogation tactics.

Sulis is the Celtic Goddess of hot springs, worshipped particularly at Bath, which the Romans called Aquae Sulis (the waters of Sulis). Since her waters were seen as healing, Sulis became integrated with the Roman Goddess Minerva, Goddess of medicine. Minerva's role as Goddess of wisdom and justice was also brought over to Sulis—many inscriptions have been found which ask Sulis to intervene in disputes and punish guilty people. Sulis's name has been interpreted as either "good flooder" or "bright one", and is also seen as Sul, Sulla, Sulei, and Sulis Minerva.
