When your mad at your partner for not giving you any sex the night before, you wake up in the morning and start to masturbate in front of their face. Right when your about to come, you wake them up and blow your load in their face.
My girlfriend was pissy and wouldn't give me any, so I gave her a morning glory.

Waking up with an erection and a huge need to pee.
"Dude, I hate morning glories, I am trying to sleep, I wake up one sec and I've got a huge fucking boner and need to pee."
por Soiled Undergarment 18 de Agosto de 2003
My girlfriend loves it when I have a morning glory and shove it up her ass while she's still asleep. After she wakes up and put my hand on her perky little tits, she rides my dick as hard as she can till I almost cum, then she licks my balls and gives me a blow-job. When I cum she swallows every last drop and plays with my dick till I'm stiff again and she fucks me till lunchtime.

I have been going to Dr. Cerni since I was 21, I am 44 years old now and I can't brag enough about her. She listens to you, does not try to rush your through the appointment and is extremly thourough. I have followed her through 5 offices and I will keep following her.
I have followed Dr. Cerni from Diamond Bar to Brea to Yorba Linda/Placentia. That should tell you what a good, caring doctor she is.
She is a wonderful, patient person and really listens. I have been going to her for many, many years.
The staff was extremely warm and welcoming, and made every effort to make me feel right at home. They are so friendly and inviting. They always make an extra effort to make me feel respected and attended to. They always listen to every question or concern I may have. I am going to refer everyone I know here. I absolutely love this place. I'm always amazed at how considerate and concerned they are for my well-being. Their advice is always wonderful and completely unbiased. They are completely committed to helping me as long as it takes to find the best solution. I never have to worry that they'll back out or give up if a solution isn't reached immediately, which has been a problem for me at other places.
Mary Cerni has been my primary physician for 15 years. She is professional at the same time as being friendly and part of the family. She has been a life saver to my family and I would not be the person I am today without her.
This has been my doctor since she came to CA in 1987. She's gone through a couple serious illnesses with me and always made sure I understood everything. My siblings and their children also see her and we all consider he family. She loves what she does and as a result, excels at what she does.
I have been a patient of Dr Mary Cerni for many years. She excells in the knowledge and integrity that keeps me going back to her. My family considers her to be the best of the best. She has gone over and beyond for us. Dr.Cerni is a dedicated Physician that we are so blessed to have.She is an abundantly good human being with amazing foresight and will do all that is possible to stay alert and focused on the latest milestones in her practice. What can I say? To sum it up, we are so very blessed that we found her and I thank God daily.
Dr. Cerni is very nice, she always smiles and treats her patients with a full caring and respect regardless what kind of problems they may have.I am with her for over 10 years now and I will come back to see her again for all my health care needed, treatment and prevention.
She was a very nice and kindness type of doctor
I love Dr. Cerni! I have been a patient of hers for almost 20 years. She is the most caring, professional doctor I have ever known. You sometimes have to wait for your appointment, because she will stay with a patient until all their questions are answered.
Dr. Cerni has been my Dr. for 15 years. She is the best, kindest, most thorough Doctor I have ever met.
Absolutely the most caring and interested physician. Her one on one is almost of the past. Always a personal follow up. Known her for 20 years and couldn't do without her. She has your best health interest. Love her!
I am an attorney who has been seeing Dr. Cerni for thirteen years. I was introduced to her by my wife who had been seeing her for five years before then. I would never want to see anyone else. Dr. Cerni is highly intelligent, asks insightful questions, listens well, and has a wonderful bedside manner. I consider her an excelleent diagnostician. My only frustration is that, because Dr. Cerni is in so much demand by her patients and takes the time required to address their needs as individuals, her appointment schedule can be crowded and someimes runs late.
I love my doctor, she is the best.

Read an Excerpt
Chapter One
Quinn Tuft
Gavving could hear the rustling as his companions tunneled upward. They stayed alongside the great flat wall of the trunk. Finger-thick spine branches sprouted from the trunk, divided endlessly into wire-thin branchlets, and ultimately flowered into foliage like green cotton, loosely spun to catch every stray beam of sunlight. Some light filtered through as green twilight.
Gavving tunneled through a universe of green cotton candy.
Hungry, he reached deep into the web of branchlets and pulled out a fistful of foliage. It tasted like fibrous spun sugar. It cured hunger, but what Gavving's belly wanted was meat. Even so, its taste was too fibrous . . . and the green of it was too brown, even at the edges of the tuft, where sunlight fell.
He ate it anyway and went on.
The rising howl of the wind told him he was nearly there. A minute later his head broke through into wind and sunlight.
The sunlight stabbed his eyes, still red and painful from this morning's allergy attack. It always got him in the eyes and sinuses. He squinted and turned his head, and sniffled, and waited while his eyes adjusted. Then, twitchy with anticipation, he looked up.
Gavving was fourteen years old, as measured by passings of the sun behind Voy. He had never been above Quinn Tuft until now.
The trunk went straight up, straight out from Voy. It seemed to go out forever, a vast brown wall that narrowed to a cylinder, to a dark line with a gentle westward curve to it, to a point at infinity—and the point was tipped with green. The far tuft.
A cloud of brown-tinged green dropped away below him, spreading out into the main body of the tuft.Looking east, with the wind whipping his long hair forward, Gavving could see the branch emerging from its green sheath as a half-klomter of bare wood: a slender fin.
Harp's head popped out, and his face immediately dipped again, out of the wind. Laython next, and he did the same. Gavving waited. Presently their faces lifted. Harp's face was broad, with thick bones, its brutal strength half-concealed by golden beard. Laython's long, dark face was beginning to sprout strands of black hair.
Harp called, "We can crawl around to lee of the trunk. East. Get out of this wind."
The wind blew always from the west, always at gale velocities. Laython peered windward between his fingers. He bellowed, "Negative! How would we catch anything? Any prey would come right out of the wind!"
Harp squirmed through the foliage to join Laython. Gavving shrugged and did the same. He would have liked a windbreak . . . and Harp, ten years older than Gavving and Laython, was nominally in charge. It seldom worked out that way.
"There's nothing to catch," Harp told them. "We're here to guard the trunk. Just because there's a drought doesn't mean we can't have a flash flood. Suppose the tree brushed a pond?"
"What pond? Look around you! There's nothing near us. Voy is too close. Harp, you've said so yourself!"
"The trunk blocks half our view," Harp said mildly.
The bright spot in the sky, the sun, was drifting below the western edge of the tuft. And in that direction were no ponds, no clouds, no drifting forests . . . nothing but blue-tinged white sky split by the white line of the Smoke Ring, and on that line, a roiled knot that must be Gold.
Looking up, out, he saw more of nothing . . . faraway streamers of cloud shaping a whorl of storm . . . a glinting fleck that might indeed have been a pond, but it seemed even more distant than the green tip of the integral tree. There would be no flood.
Gavving had been six years old when the last flood came. He remembered terror, panic, frantic haste. The tribe had burrowed east along the branch, to huddle in the thin foliage where the tuft tapered into bare wood. He remembered a roar that drowned the wind, and the mass of the branch itself shuddering endlessly. Gavving's father and two apprentice hunters hadn't been warned in time. They had been washed into the sky.
Laython started off around the trunk, but in the windward direction. He was half out of the foliage, his long arms pulling him against the wind. Harp followed. Harp had given in, as usual. Gavving snorted and moved to join them.
It was tiring. Harp must have hated it. He was using claw sandals, but he must have suffered, even so. Harp had a good brain and a facile tongue, but he was a dwarf. His torso was short and burly; his muscular arms and legs had no reach, and his toes were mere decoration. He stood less than two meters tall. The Grad had once told Gavving, "Harp looks like the pictures of the Founders in the log. We all looked like that once."
Harp grinned back at him, though he was puffing. "We'll get you some claw sandals when you're older."
Laython grinned too, superciliously, and sprinted ahead of them both. He didn't have to say anything. Claw sandals would only have hampered his long, prehensile toes.
Night had cut the illumination in half. Seeing was easier, with the sunglare around on the other side of Voy. The trunk was a great brown wall three klomters in circumference. Gavving looked up once and was disheartened at their lack of progress. Thereafter he kept his head bent to the wind, clawing his way across the green cotton, until he heard Laython yell.
A quivering black speck, a point to port of windward. Laython said, "Can't tell what it is."
Harp said, "It's trying to miss. Looks big."
"It'll go around the other side! Come on!"
They crawled, fast. The quivering dot came closer. It was long and narrow and moving tail-first. The great translucent fin blurred with speed as it tried to win clear the trunk. The slender torso was slowly rotating.
The head came in view. Two eyes glittered behind the beak, one hundred and twenty degrees apart.
"Swordbird," Harp decided. He stopped moving.
Laython called, "Harp, what are you doing?"
"Nobody in his right mind goes after a swordbird."
"It's still meat! And it's probably starving too, this far in!"
Harp snorted. "Who says so? The Grad? The Grad's full of theory, but he doesn't have to hunt."
The swordbird's slow rotation exposed what should have been its third eye. What showed instead was a large, irregular, fuzzy green patch. Laython cried, "Fluff! It's a head injury that got infected with fluff. The thing's injured, Harp!"
"That isn't an injured turkey, boy. It's an injured swordbird."
Laython was half again Harp's size, and the Chairman's son to boot. He was not easy to discipline. He wrapped long, strong fingers around Harp's shoulder and said, "We'll miss it if we wait here arguing! I say we go for Gold." And he stood up.
The wind smashed at him. He wrapped toes and one fist in branchlets, steadied himself, and semaphored his free arm. "Hiyo! Swordbird! Meat, you copsik, meat!"
Harp made a sound of disgust.
It would surely see him, waving in that vivid scarlet blouse. Gavving thought, hopefully, We'll miss it, and then it'll be past. But he would not show cowardice on his first hunt.
He pulled his line loose from his back. He burrowed into the foliage to pound a spike into solid wood, and moored the line to it. The middle was attached to his waist. Nobody ever risked losing his line. A hunter who fell into the sky might still find rest somewhere, if he had his line.
The creature hadn't seen them. Laython swore. He hurried to anchor his own line. The business end was a grapnel: hardwood from the finned end of the branch. Laython swung the grapnel round his head, yelled, and flung it out.
The swordbird must have seen, or heard. It whipped around, mouth gaping, triangular tail fluttering as it tried to gain way to starboard, to reach their side of the trunk. Starving, yes! Gavving hadn't grasped that a creature could see him as meat until that moment.
Harp frowned. "It could work. If we're lucky it could smash itself against the trunk."
The swordbird seemed bigger every second: bigger than a man, bigger than a hut—all mouth and wings and tail. The tail was a translucent membrane enclosed in a V of bone spines with serrated edges. What was it doing this far in? Swordbirds fed on creatures that fed in the drifting forests, and there were few of these, so far in toward Voy. Little enough of anything. The creature did look gaunt, Gavving thought; and there was that soft green carpet over one eye.
Fluff was a green plant parasite that grew on an animal until the animal died. It attacked humans too. Everybody got it sooner or later, some more than once. But humans had the sense to stay in shadow until the fluff withered and died.
Laython could be right. A head injury, sense of direction fouled up . . . and it was meat, a mass of meat as big as the bachelors' longhut. It must be ravenous . . . and now it turned to face them.
An isolated mouth came toward them: an elliptical field of teeth, expanding.
Laython coiled line in frantic haste. Gavving saw Harp's line fly past him, and tearing himself out of his paralysis, he threw his own weapon.
The swordbird whipped around, impossibly fast, and snapped up Gavving's harpoon like a tidbit. Harp whooped. Gavving froze for an instant; then his toes dug into the foliage while he hauled in line. He'd hooked it.
The creature didn't try to escape: it was still fluttering toward them.
Harp's grapnel grazed its side and passed on. Harp yanked, trying to hook the beast, and missed again. He reeled in line for another try.
Gavving was armpit-deep in branchlets and cotton, toes digging deeper, hands maintaining his deathgrip on the line. With eyes on him, he continued to behave as if he wanted contact with the killer beast. He bellowed, "Harp, where can I hurt it?"
"Eye sockets, I guess."
The beast had misjudged. Its flank smashed bark from the trunk above their heads, dreadfully close. The trunk shuddered. Gavving howled in terror. Laython howled in rage and threw his grapnel ahead of it.
It grazed the swordbird's flank. Laython pulled hard on the line and sank the hardwood tines deep in flesh.
The swordbird's tail froze. Perhaps it was thinking things over, watching them with two good eyes while the wind pulled it west.
Laython's line went taut. Then Gavving's. Spine branches ripped through Gavving's inadequate toes. Then the immense mass of the beast had pulled him into the sky.
His own throat closed tight, but he heard Laython shriek. Laython too had been pulled loose.
Torn branchlets were still clenched in Gavving's toes. He looked down into the cushiony expanse of the tuft, wondering whether to let go and drop. But his line was still anchored . . . and wind was stronger than tide; it could blow him past the tuft, past the entire branch, out and away. Instead he crawled along the line, away from their predator-prey.
Laython wasn't retreating. He had readied his harpoon and was waiting.
The swordbird decided. Its body snapped into a curve. The serrated tail slashed effortlessly through Gavving's line. The swordbird flapped hard, making west now. Laython's line went taut; then branchlets ripped and his line pulled free. Gavving snatched for it and missed.
He might have pulled himself back to safety then, but he continued to watch.
Laython poised with spear ready, his other arm waving in circles to hold his body from turning, as the predator flapped toward him. Almost alone among the creatures of the Smoke Ring, men have no wings.
The swordbird's body snapped into a U. Its tail slashed Laython in half almost before he could move his spear. The beast's mouth snapped shut four times, and Laython was gone. Its mouth continued to work, trying to deal with Gavving's harpoon in its throat, as the wind carried it east.
The Scientist's hut was like all of Quinn Tribe's huts: live spine branches fashioned into a wickerwork cage. It was bigger than some, but there was no sense of luxury. The roof and walls were a clutter of paraphernalia stuck into the wickerwork: boards and turkey quills and red tuftberry dye for ink, tools for teaching, tools for science, and relics from the time before men left the stars.
The Scientist entered the hut with the air of a blind man. His hands were bloody to the elbows. He scraped at them with handfuls of foliage, talking under his breath. "Damn, damn drillbits. They just burrow in, no way to stop them." He looked up. "Grad?"
" 'Day. Who were you talking to, yourself?"
"Yes." He scrubbed at his arms ferociously, then hurled the wads of bloody foliage away from him. "Martal's dead. A drillbit burrowed into her. I probably killed her myself, digging it out, but she'd have died anyway . . . you can't leave drillbit eggs. Have you heard about the expedition?"
"Yes. Barely. I can't get anyone to tell me anything."
The Scientist pulled a handful of foliage from the wall and tried to scrub the scalpel clean. He hadn't looked at the Grad. "What do you think?"
The Grad had come in a fury and grown yet angrier while waiting in an empty hut. He tried to keep that out of his voice. "I think the Chairman's trying to get rid of some citizens he doesn't like. What I want to know is, why me?"
"The Chairman's a fool. He thinks science could have stopped the drought."
"Then you're in trouble too?" The Grad got it then. "You blamed it on me."
The Scientist looked at him at last. The Grad thought he saw guilt there, but the eyes were steady. "I let him think you were to blame, yes. Now, there are some things I want you to have—"
Incredulous laughter was his answer. "What, more gear to carry up a hundred klomters of trunk?"
"Grad . . . Jeffer. What have I told you about the tree? We've studied the universe together, but the most important thing in it is the tree. Didn't I teach you that everything that lives has a way of staying near the Smoke Ring median, where there's air and water and soil?"
"Everything but trees and men."
"Integral trees have a way. I taught you."
"I . . . had the idea you were only guessing . . . Oh, I see. You're willing to bet my life."
The Scientist's eyes dropped. "I suppose I am. But if I'm right, there won't be anything left but you and the people who go with you. Jeffer, this could be nothing. You could all come back with . . . whatever we need: breeding turkeys, some kind of meat animal living on the trunk, I don't know—"
"But you don't think so."
"No. That's why I'm giving you these."
He pulled treasures from the spine-branch walls: a glassy rectangle a quarter meter by half a meter, flat enough to fit into a pack; four boxes each the size of a child's hand. The Grad's response was a musical "O-o-oh."
"You'll decide for yourself whether to tell any of the others what you're carrying. Now let's do one last drill session." The Scientist plugged a cassette into the reader screen. "You won't have much chance to study on the trunk."

More People Biking to Work — The traffic woes and Metrorail headaches caused by Metro's SafeTrack maintenance work is apparently pushing more people to commute to work via bike. On Monday, Arlington's "Bike-o-Meter" near the Key Bridge recorded 2,325 bike trips, double the normal number for a Monday around this time of year. The pleasant weather probably helped, too. [WJLA]

A new gym and wellness center that focuses on holistic approaches and family-friendliness has opened along Columbia Pike.
Located at 1058 S. Walter Reed Drive, in the former World Gym space, True Health and Wholeness had its grand opening on Saturday, May 14.
Husband-and-wife team Nina and Christian Elliot founded True Health and Wholeness to provide people with a "one stop shop" for all health and fitness needs. "Our goal is to provide a place where people can get true and sustainable answers to really change their lifestyle, said Nina Elliot.
True Health and Wholeness provides fitness, food, wellness and education services. Fitness services include personal training, small group training and large group workouts. Fitness classes such as barre and yoga are offered. Cooking classes and nutritional coaching are services that are provided to members.
Wellness services include: naturopathy, massage, acupuncture, cranial sacral, muscle activation techniques, infrared sauna, ionic foot soaks and food sensitivity testing. Education workshops are provided as well as lifestyle transformation coaching and corporate wellness programs.
"By giving people more access to different things in one place, it gives us a way to mix all those passions of our own health and wanting to have a family environment," said Christian Elliot.
A unique part of the gym is that there are fitness programs geared toward children. The Kid Fit program allows for children to gain coordination and fitness skills. The program will be starting in the fall and are age based skill applied groups. Kid Summer Camp will be starting in July. There is also an area called the "Little Nest" where children 6 weeks to 18 months old are cared for while a member exercises.
The gym also gives back to the community as much as they can. In honor of National Purple Heart Day on August 7, True Health and Wholeness will identify two combat wounded Purple Heart recipients and present a certificate for one year of free Pilates classes. The spouse of a wounded veteran may be substituted to receive this offer.
"This is a passion that also helps other people change their lives," said Christian Elliot.
Construction on the Pentagon City mall's expansion is still happening all around it, but Shake Shack is nonetheless planning to open its doors Wednesday.
The trendy burger-and-shake restaurant is serving patrons today as part of an invite-only "friends and family" event, allowing staff to work out the kinks before opening to the general public. Tomorrow, at 11 a.m., it's expected to open to an inevitable crush of local workers, residents, tourists and mall shoppers.
Shake Shack's wedge-like storefront in the mall's expanded wing along S. Hayes Street, near the Pentagon City Metro entrance, includes a small-ish order counter but a more open, airy indoor seating area. There's also what looks like a future outdoor seating area in front.
Shake Shack's menu includes burgers, chicken sandwiches, hot dogs, fries, shakes, custard-based "concretes," soda, coffee and beer. There are even a couple of options specifically for dogs.
The restaurant will be open from 11 a.m.-10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, and from 11 a.m.-11 p.m. Friday and Saturday.
NOVA Armory, the controversial planned gun store in Lyon Park, says it will hold a grand opening at 9 a.m. on Saturday, March 26.
The store, at 2300 N. Pershing Drive, says it has all applicable permits needed to open. The grand opening will feature a ribbon-cutting ceremony with "several VIPs," the store's website says.
The Lyon Park Citizens Association, however, is still discussing the store and has planned a membership vote on whether the association should take an official stance on NOVA Armory. It's unclear what stance the association would take, though many residents have expressed concerns about the store and its proximity to a nearby preschool.
John Goldener, president of the civic association, confirmed the vote was to take place at some point this week. It comes after NOVA Armory, in a press release issued Friday, threatened to sue opponents and "local crazies."
"The Association will not… respond favorably to any threats to our residents or to free speech in our meetings, our online forums, or on individual members' social media pages, as appeared in NOVA Armory's own March 4 press release to this and other media outlets," Goldener said Monday. "We assume that the business owner is a proud and responsible gun owner, as are many residents of Lyon Park and members of the LPCA. He should understand better than most that the Constitution is not a buffet, and your cannot infringe upon individuals' First Amendment rights in order to defend those in the Second."
"We remain wholly committed to productive and constructive dialogue on this any any other issue of interest or concern to our residents," Goldener added.
On Friday NOVA Armory said on its website — in a post that has since been removed — that is cancelled a planned private meeting with the citizens association and would only meet with residents at the store. Since then, the stance of NOVA Armory's owner appears to have softened a bit.
"Dennis Pratte and I have been in touch today, and we are working together to find a new time for him to meet with the Association," Goldener told ARLnow.com Tuesday.
Pratte, meanwhile says his business is legal and wants Lyon Park residents to stop by the store to clear up "misinformation floating around the internet" before voting.
"NOVA Armory's application for zoning was approved and all the inspections were passed by the county," Pratte wrote. "The business received an occupancy permit. And, every inspector, and every law enforcement official that has visited the shop has left confident knowing that they have met all the requirements to operate this business, and to operate it safely from this location. So, before the committee votes, I would hope they take this information into account, or at least stop by the business before casting their vote so they can make an informed decision."
After first announcing its plans to open late last summer, a new brewery near Shirlington is ready to open its doors this weekend.
New District Brewing Co. (2709 S. Oakland Street) is scheduled to open to the public this Saturday, Jan. 9 at noon, according to co-owner Steve Katrivanos. The 5,200 square foot space is off S. Four Mile Run Drive near the Shirlington dog park and the W&OD Trail.
Though Katrivanos and his brother Mike — who built the brewery's brewhouse system — had hoped to open before the end of 2015, inspection processes delayed the opening.
This Saturday's grand opening will feature nine beers on tap, accompanied by food trucks to be on location all afternoon. There will also be t-shirts and hoodies for sale and growlers available for purchase.
After it opens, New District Brewing Co. will boast the title of the first production brewery to open in Arlington in nearly 100 years.
New District will have full brewing operations on site and will distribute its beer to restaurants and bars. The brewery also has its own bar, with up to a dozen beers on tap at once, a tasting room with tables and a small retail space.
According to Katrivanos, more details about Saturday's opening will be announced later this week via the company's Facebook page.
MOM's Organic Market founder and CEO Scott Nash was pleased with what he saw at the grand opening of the company's first Arlington store today.
Shoppers — mostly the regional chain's target customer: moms — lined the aisles, picking out organic goods and trying free samples. Not bad for 11:30 a.m. on the store's first official day in business.
Nash explained that MOM's, which has 13 other locations in the Mid-Atlantic region (the closest of which is in Alexandria), typically targets more suburban locales than Arlington.
"Something that has kept us from opening in more dense urban areas is the parking," he said. "We are for a walkable community, but we have 5,000 customers a week and most of them are mothers, with kids. They need to drive, they can't carry six bags of groceries to their apartment across the street. They are the bread and butter of our customer base and we won't open a store unless we have ample parking for our true best customers."
The new store is located at 1901 N. Veitch Street, in the Verde Pointe development along Lee Highway and within walking distance to the Courthouse Metro station. It has 100 spaces of free parking for customers, though the traffic pattern to get to the 50 lower level garage spaces seemed to be challenging for first-time shoppers.
Other than the parking issue, Nash said Arlington is an ideal location for MOM's, thanks to the eco-minded population.
"It's very dense and we are sure this demographic has a lot of 'lifestylers,'" he said. "The lifestylers are people who don't just like organic food, but they have the same moral view that we have."
That moral view was on prominent display, with signs explaining that the store only carries "green rated" seafood, that none of its cereals market to children with cartoon characters, and that it doesn't sell conventionally grown produce because of the use of pesticides.
At 12,500 square feet, the new Arlington MOM's is about the same size of most of the company's newer stores. Asked about competition from the nearby Whole Foods and Trader Joe's stores in Clarendon, Nash said that the presence of those stores was actually encouraging, pointing to the kind of market in which MOM's thrives.
"We feel like where's there's a successful Trader Joe's and a successful Whole Foods, there will be successful MOM's," he said. "What sets us apart is Trader Joe's has about 4,000 items, we have 14,000, and Whole Foods has about 28,000. We're kind of in between, we're cheaper than Whole Foods, we have only organic produce, we don't mix, plus we have great customer service and a very unique, incredible selection of products."
MOM's is open seven days a week. Its grand opening celebration will continue through Sunday.
A new MOM's Organic Market is opening next week on Lee Highway, within walking distance to Courthouse.
The store, at 1901 N. Veitch Street, is planning a grand opening celebration between Friday, Nov. 13 and Sunday, Nov. 15.
"Join us for a weekend of local tastings, environmental activities, henna art and more!" the company said on its website. "Five percent of Grand Opening sales will be donated to Moms Clean Air Force, a community of moms and dads united against air pollution and climate change to protect our children's health."
There will also be meet and greets with environmental organizations, like the Northern Virginia Conservation Trust, and live music Saturday and Sunday afternoon from Arlington singer-songwriter (and H-B Woodlawn student) Calista Garcia.
In addition to the grocery store, MOM's is also opening a Naked Lunch storefront along Uhle Street. Naked Lunch is an organic, vegetarian and vegan-only eatery that serves soups, sandwiches, bowls and raw juices.
Other MOM's features include free car charging stations, local beer and organic wine, and recycling drop-off for wine corks, CFL bulbs, eye glasses, plastic bags, household batteries and shoes.
MOM's is located in the new Verde Pointe development, along with 162 luxury apartments and 36 townhouse flats.

It's impossible not to be wowed by seeing Notch 8, a brand new modern-industrial apartment building with loads of amenities and all the stops pulled out.
These upscale apartments in Potomac Yard (2900 Main Line Boulevard) have just sweetened the deal.
This weekend, Notch 8 is hosting a grand opening celebration for Grillin' and Chillin'. On Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 5 p.m., stop by for hard lemonade, sliders and other backyard barbeque favorites.

This weekend only, incentives include up to two months free, a $1000 Giant gift card (now that's a shopping spree!) and waived amenity fee.
Notch 8 has features to keep pace with your lifestyle, whether you're ready to work out with the on-site personal trainer or host friends in the lounge, a multitude of modern amenities will keep you going. With a decked-out courtyard including hammocks, an outdoor flat screen and even an outdoor billiards table, there is more to this green space than just your typical swimming pool and barbeque grills. If you're the indoor type, surf the net in the eLounge or hang out in the Game Room. Notch8 residents can have it all without leaving the comfort of home. There's also a Giant grocery and Starbucks on the ground floor providing super convenient access for your weekly shopping and daily caffeine fix.
One can't overlook the well-designed apartments in a variety of floorplans that offer stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, plank flooring, high-tech Nest thermostats and an electronic key system, just to name a few of the high-end features.

East Falls Church residents can now grab an energizing cold-pressed juice before heading off to work in the morning, following the opening of a new South Block Juice Company store at 2121 N Westmoreland Street.
The micro juicery's factory and test kitchen had been located in the neighborhood since last summer, according to company owner Amir Mostafavi. When the cafe next door to his factory closed down, Mostafavi took the opportunity to expand.
The East Falls Church store will be able to seat 30 people inside and up to 15 outside, significantly more than either of South Block's other locations, on 11th Street N. in Clarendon and at George Washington University. Mostafavi hopes this extra space will allow the store to expand its repertoire to include fundraisers, neighborhood events and maybe even some tours of the factory next door.
A grand opening celebration is planned for this Saturday (July 18) from 9-11 a.m. If the lure of a brand new micro juicery isn't enough, the store will be offering free half pints of juice and $25 gift cards to the first 25 people to come out.
(Smoothies start at $6, a six-pack of cold pressed juice is $55 online and a three-day juice cleanse is $150 online.)
Although business is booming now, Mostafavi says his juices weren't always so popular. He opened his first smoothie and health food shop at GW in 2004, when he was three years out of college, but the store just didn't kick off the way he expected it to. It wasn't until 2011, when Mostafavi opened his Clarendon location and bought his first cold pressed juicer, that things finally began to take off.
"I took a big risk when I changed to all cold press because no one in this area had heard of it — we tried to educate them on why it was better. It was a risk, but I really thought it was a better product," said Mostafavi. "At first, people would say, no, I don't want bottled juice, I want fresh juice, but we tried to educate them on why it was better and better for you. Six months later, that's all anybody wanted."
Mostafavi says he believes South Block has been successful partially because it is such a small company.
"I try to have things that people want, that are good for you, and I try to have it before anybody else and do it better than anybody else. I think that's a benefit of being a smaller company — the bigger corporations catch on a little bit late, and they cut corners to cut cost, and it just isn't the same quality product."
In addition to their juices and smoothies, the East Falls Church store has trendy products like nitrogen-infused cold-brew coffee. Mostafavi tries to keep South Block ahead of the curve by paying attention to the products being introduced in California and New York, and then bringing those products to the D.C. area.
"I try to continue to evolve the products and the menu," said Mostafavi. "I think that's one thing that's made South Block successful."
Mostafavi says the business is still expanding, with plans for future stores in both Vienna and Georgetown.
(Updated at 3:25 p.m.) Ben's Chili Bowl opened its second Arlington location at Reagan National Airport this morning with a ribbon cutting ceremony.
In the pre-security section of B/C terminal of the airport, a crowd gathered to hear the Chuck Brown Band, listen to speakers and watch the Ali family, which owns Ben's, cut the ribbon on the new restaurant. The Ben's Chili Bowl location in Rosslyn opened in March as the first standalone, brick-and-mortar Ben's to open since the original in 1958.
"We have a lot of visitors to our original U Street location that come from all over the country, so now people who don't have time can stop here on their way in or out of the city," Virginia Ali, the widow of Ben's founder Ben Ali, said. "It's a very attractive location."
Ben's historian and former Marion Barry aid Bernard Demczuk was the MC of the opening, and handed out pamphlets detailing a history of Ben's as well as instructions on how to "properly eat a Ben's Chili Bowl Classic chili dog." He spoke about the late "Godfather of Go-Go" Chuck Brown — who was a famous Ben's customer along with Bill Cosby and President Barack Obama — before introducing the band.
He also remarked on Reagan's number of annual visitors; according to the airport, more than 20 million passengers flew in and out of the airport last year.
"That's pretty good traffic for Ben's Chili Bowl," Demczuk said.
Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority Board Member Warner Session spoke briefly after the band played its first set of songs. He said that MWAA is elated to have a Ben's airport location.
"I live in the neighborhood and as you can see I've probably eaten one chili dog too many," Session joked.
Kamal Ali was the last to speak before he and his family cut the ceremonial ribbon. Ali thanked the airport and the ceremony's event planners, and also mentioned his late father.
"I know dad is looking down on us," he said.
The band continued to play while Ben's employees served their first customers, and those waiting in line to get their half-smokes and fries danced and clapped along. The band also promoted its new single and album "Beautiful Life," which was released today.
Inside Ben's, two flat-screen monitors played a slideshow of the Ali's family pictures, pictures from other Ben's locations and footage of the U street location's appearance on the Travel Channel show "Man Versus Food."
"They are going to do very well here, trust me," one woman waiting in line said. "There's going to be a line forever."
Maserati of Arlington, located at the former M. Slavin & Sons Seafood site on S. Glebe Road, opened its doors to customers today.
Although the location plans to have a grand opening event within the next two weeks, it opened today with lease specials, finance specials and discounts on certain cars. The sticker prices on the dealership's website start at $132,999, but General Sales Manager Alex Macatuno said at least one model is being offered for less than $70,000.
Macatuno said the location, an affiliate of Maserati of Washington in Sterling, opened next to I-395 in Arlington in order to better serve customers closer to the District.
"We wanted to be closer to Washington, so that's one of the reasons why I think it's a great location," Macatuno told ARLnow.com. "There's an Audi store here, there's a Porsche store here, there's a BMW store two exits up and a Mercedes store right down the street, so it's perfect."
Macatuno said the dealershop, at 2710 S. Glebe Road, will cater to people "right around the Beltway" and from the Pentagon. It is open Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Sunday 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Maserati owners can drop their cars off at the dealership for service, he said.
As of 1:00 p.m. today, the location hadn't sold any cars, according to salesman Tate Attia.
The storefront, as it stands presently, is a "temporary facility," according to Macatuno. Within the next two to three months, construction is expected to begin on a new 18,000 square-foot facility that will accommodate more cars and more employees. The dealership will remain open during the construction, Macatuno said. Afterwards, the existing building is expected to be knocked down.
In the next two weeks, Maserati of Arlington plans to hold a "grand opening" event. Community members and "those in the area who own luxury brands" are among those the dealership is hoping will attend the event, Macatuno said.
Restaurateurs Eye Rosslyn — Rosslyn has been long neglected in the restaurant and bar department, primarily because it has been viewed as a place where only fast casual lunch places can be successful. That may be changing thanks to Heavy Seas Alehouse, which has been doing boffo beer and dinner business since it opened last month. [Washington City Paper]
Streetcar Battles Continue — Arlington County Board member Libby Garvey continued her one-woman campaign against the Columbia Pike streetcar from the County Board dais last week. Garvey used her time in the County Board meeting to do a slideshow of streetcar systems that have well-exceeded their budget or which have performed poorly in wintery weather. Meanwhile, the streetcar remains the central issue in April's County Board special election. [InsideNoVa, Greater Greater Washington]
Tribute to Terry Holzheimer — Acting Director of Arlington Economic Development Cindy Richmond has penned a tribute to her former boss, Terry Holzheimer, who died of a sudden heart attack on March 1. [Arlington Economic Development]
Grand Opening for Arlington Mill Residences — A grand opening ceremony will be held tonight from 4:00-6:00 p.m. for the Arlington Mill Residences, at 901 S. Dinwiddie Street. The four story, 122-unit apartment complex, located next to the new Arlington Mill Community Center, is 100 percent committed affordable. There was a long waiting list for those hoping to live in one of the units.
Arlington Woman on Jeopardy Tonight — Arlington resident Nancy Akerman, who works as a science policy fellow, will compete on Jeopardy tonight. The game show airs at 7:30 p.m. on WJLA (ABC 7).

Resident Evil: Revelations Cheats
I´ll try tomorrow on a computer at work.
The numpad . key for all characters in raid causes them all to disappear, as well the:
Numpad 1: Unlimited Health Key does not work on Infernal, I have not tried other the difficulties but I'm guessing it's because they do too much damage?
Side note, the Unlimited Ammo causes the no reload key not to work and still makes it so no reload is in effect? Kinda odd.
Just a heads up, game went on sale recently for 12.50 on steam and I know others are having the same problem.
P.s. I do not have an AV, and my firewall is off and open to third parties. So that is at least not the issue.
Update: Unlimited Health does not work even on casual. Kind of a bummer seeing as it is the most important option in the trainer.. a fix would be nice.
[Edited by Grubbs008, 10/15/2013 3:30:41 PM]
I'm having problems with the lvl 20cap that reduced my lvl40 character to 20. Will this be fixed?
your post is unintelligible.
we don't have a level cap option. what exactly are you saying here?
As for the character unlock function, it actually causes an error where all the characters become unselectable.

Incredibly easy & delicious! As recommended by other reviewers, I added 1/2 tsp of almond extract & used cherry juice in place of the water.
This is a very nice sub for the expensive cherry pie filling at the grocery store. I used two cans of pitted cherries and instead of the water used the juice from the cherries. Liked the idea Chef #1336878 had and also added some almond extract. Easy to make and saved money, will definitely make again! Made and reviewed for the Aussie Recipe Swap #33.
This was good and so easy! The only addition I made was 1/2 a teaspoon of almond extract. Yummy!
This was really good! Went to buy cherries for my son's Birthday Cheesecake and when I saw the price - I decided we should use the cherries from our tree. Boy it was easy and tastes so great! I also used frozen cherries..... plus it has more cherries than sauce....
This was a very good cherry pie filling. I would definitely use it again, but felt there was something missing.
Terrific! I'll never buy canned pie filling again. I have to say, though, for other beginning cooks ... now I know why you said to mix the sugar and cornstarch together BEFORE adding to the cherries. Don't add them separately! It made a terrible mess of lumpy cornstarch, and it was impossible to get the lumps out ... when I actually followed the recipe, though, it turned out beautifully. Thanks for posting this!
So easy to make and I tried it with strawberries as well and it came out better than the cherry one.I do use a little bit less sugar as well.
I used this to fill Tiny Tarts With Pecan or Pumpkin Filling. I used frozen cherries that we had picked last year. I used instant tapioca instead of the cornstarch b/c I like the flavor better. Cooked up quick and easy.
Loved it. Did it just like the recipe said. Thanks for sharing
Easy, quick, and for a country that doesn't have pie filling in cans, a lifesaver. Not exactly the consistency I expected. I'll use less cornstarch next time, or more juice or water.

This plugin isn't included within our Passage theme. And we cant guarantee it will work as expected.
Hi, presale question for you,
I know there hasn't been any update on this theme for a while but I was wondering if it was possible to have a centered logo heading with menu on both side.

Unfortunately, Sticky Divided option as seen on Bridge theme isn't available within Passage theme.

Talk in English - US at php[tek] 2014
View Slides: https://www.slideshare.net/eryno/programmers-can-ux-too-minnewebcon-2014/
Short URL: https://joind.in/talk/9bd2d
Programmers have a bad reputation when it comes to UX, but it's time to set the record straight: It isn't because we don't care! It's because we fall in the trap of thinking we can design a user interface and write it at the same time when, the truth is, these processes require different kinds of thinking. But learning how to unlock that part of your brain is worth it-- and you'll be surprised at what you already know. From one developer to another, this talk will discuss why you should think critically about the interfaces you write and give you strategies you can start applying right away.
Comments are closed.
very good talk, interactive, excellent slides, wow.
Engaging and polished speaker. Nice use of humor in showing of the "Programmer Interfaces" Coaching humility is a tough pill to swallow at times. Thanks for the presentation
Great talk! Everyone should be able to understand the basics of UX. We don't have to be experts to be able to make non-crappy interfaces.
Great Talk!
I really enjoyed your perspective and showing off the ugly interfaces.
I would have liked to seen a few examples ugly interfaces transformed into better interfaces. That would have been helpful to avoid pitfalls that we all probably do.
Overall GREAT talk!
Good overview on stepping back and having a conversation with people -- your users, your fellow devs, your UX people -- to arrive at an actual usable interface. Captured many of the things our company has been going through and are trying to do.
Minor quibble... Needs more otters.
Excellent talk with great use of storytelling and humor. Loved the topic as it was very applicable - I'll definitely be taking these lessons home!
Always a good presenter. Brought up the salient points of UX and interaction with users for testing.
Excellent talk. Fun and insightful.
Good ideas to think about!
Well done. Good information, easy speaking style, good use of humor. +1 for otters
Really well done. I particularly appreciated the points about positive v. negative taste.
Excellent talk. I think all software should make UX a top priority. Also, the otter palate cleanser was much appreciated after the horrors of bad interfaces. Those interfaces shall haunt my dreams.

Post subject: Best Game Boy Game of all time and Why?
I've been feeling quite nostalgic for the original Game Boy. I loved that brick to death. It was my introduction and first love with video games. I loved Yoshi, and TMNT.
I didn't care that there was a TMNT 1, this is the one I had and I played the shit out of it. At first I thought the game was terrible, but I kept playing because dammit did I love the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. You could pick from the four of them, each with little different between them. Raphael seemed to attack faster and Donatello obviously seemed to have the best range. You could make them jump really high and they'd do a flip animation, but honestly this game looked like crap and was really poorly animated. The turtles would talk (as best they could with the Game Boy audio) and they'd make sound effects if they got hurt. You beat up a ton of different enemies and the levels were varied enough.
There was some strategy to picking characters (if they really were different statistically). If a turtle died during a level, you'd have to make it through to the end of the level without losing any health to bring them back. On the character select screen it just had pictures of all the turtles and if they had died they were behind bars. So weird. I played this game over and over and over again and finally beat Shredder. I shouted at the end. I know everyone on the site says I'm shit at video games but I have my moments or my games and this was definitely my game. I loved playing it endlessly with my headphones in. I would drain entire sets of batteries on this game in one sitting. I... hate that I've lost it.
My favorite part of the game was the music though. I've featured it on GR Radio in the past, but I'm going to link to a couple of tracks for your ears:
This made my 90s. My gameboy, a pair of cheap ear buds that would leak the sound like crazy, and the volume ALL THE WAY UP. I'd sit in the back of my parents blue Ford van on our way to the lake for boating and camping or to my grandma's or across the country entirely... TWICE. I loved this game so much and the GameBoy, so tell me ALL about your favorite GameBoy game and why it kicks TMNTII's ass.

I have that game in my closet, and I get to look at it every day. Eat it, Danny. PIZZA TIME!
Super Mario Land 2: Six Golden Coins probably is my most played classic Gameboy game, and I love the first one as well even though I hardly got to play it, but Donkey Kong was my favorite.
Then there's Pokemon Yellow and Gold/Silver. Oh the adventures. The memories. The countless amount of time spent under a lamp. Our children will never know that kind of simple pleasure.

That's a tough call.
Similar to De-Ting, I'm gonna have to say Pokemon, but for me personally it was Pokemon: Gold. I had Pokemon: Yellow (my first Pokemon game) but Gold was much better for me.
I must have been eleven or twelve years old when the game came out, I got Gold version for Christmas and my brother got Silver. We used to battle and trade Pokemon all the time. I remember every two years, we'd go on a road trip down south interstate to see family, so those Gameboys and Pokemon games came in handy.
I really preferred Gold over Yellow, because there were more Pokemon, but not THAT much more like today's games. There was more moves, more items, more strategy, breeding Pokemon etc. I think the best thing about the game is once you defeat the Elite Four and then your rival, it's like, holy crap you get to go back to Kanto! The old Red/Blue/Yellow lands! That's awesome. Do all those badges and stuff and then the absolute final boss battle of the game? Trainer Red, AKA Ash, the player's character of the Red/Blue/Yellow games. Holy, crap. As a twelve year old, that's insanely epic.

Either Final Fantasy Adventure (basically Secret of Mana GB) or Zelda Links Awakening.
Actually, after further thought Zelda: LA has a much more nostalgic effect on me. I think I just like FFA cuz it was GB SoM but I played it after the fact. While vacationing/travelining as a youngin' Links Awakening was easily the number 1 played game in my huge gameboy shaped carrying case. Pokemon is pretty close on this list too, but it was first a ROM then a gameboy game to me. I can still sing the entire theme song from the cartoon.
So many memories. The music is beautiful in that game.

Yeah, gotta say Silver/Gold/Crystal.
I played the absolute shit out of Gold, and then Crystal. Hell, i played it so much when my (crystal) cartridge died my mate gave me a free one in French (long story) and i played the shit out of that.

You didn't live unless you had one of those little plug in worm lights. That thing improved it by orders of magnitude - i can play while in a car trip at night, now!
Also, the 1st time my cousin showed me the duplicate pokemon glitch. I distinctly remember having a party consisting of nothing but Level 47/48 Typhlosion at one point.
So, yeah. Pokemon 2nd gen. Back when is was both huge and still relatively simple.

Darkwing Duck is great. I had some weird cart that seemed to have bazillion games on it and DD was one of them. Other favorites from that were an Asterix game and Gargoyles Quest.
Super Mario Land 2 is awesome even by todays standards.
But Pokemon probably takes the top place for me. The reason I got a gameboy in the first place. Everything else was just neat extra.

First i played pokemon yellow, then my mom bought me pokemon silver as a gift. I enjoyed playing both and i remember that glitch too. I even duplicate my master balls. I used to have 3 lugia and 3 Hoho. LOL Then my dad gave a me a crystal version. I enjoy the game much more, hunting the 3 legendary dogs is really pain in the ass.

Ohh, the Game Boy, been a while since I played that awesome console. Talking about it is already giving me nostalgia for it.
My personal favorite will always be Pokemon, both Red/Blue/Yellow and Gold/Silver.
I played those games when the first came out like there was no tomorrow, and they amazed me at the time.
My most fond memories was when I first entered the Pokemon Tower in the infamous Lavender Town, I was actually genuinely creeped out, or even a little scared, when I entered the place. I mean, the music's pretty creepy and I remember being creeped out of Ghost as well as the Channelers that said stuff like "Zombies...", "Give me your blood!", that kind of stuff.
I still have my Yellow version, although it's disappointing to find out that I can no longer save on my Gold version, the internal battery died (or whatever it's called).
I also liked Super Mario Land 1 and 2 (still have 'em), Wario Land, Kirby's Dream Land 1 and 2 (also still have them). Definitely still plan to keep them, but now I'm thinking of buying a Super Game Boy because, how awesome is it to play them on an actual TV?

Hmm, this is a really tough question actually. I'm kind of torn between a couple of them.
I'd definitely have to say that Aria of Sorrow was the best gameboy game. It was a perfect example of what a castlevania game should be like. And seeing as how I backed Bloodstained, I really hope IGA remembers how to work his magic.
Metroid Fusion takes a close second, being the first game in the franchise I played, it has a lot of sentimentality points, so I think I'll have to rank it lower than AoS. Just in case it's a case of rose colored glasses.
Third is both Golden Sun games. It's pretty clear they were meant to be one game, so I'm going to consider them as one game. Unfortunately, I just don't enjoy RPGs as much as I enjoy action games, but it's an amazing game nonetheless.

You first need to find out what is meant by "16 bit image". A "24 bit" image generally means 8 bits of red, 8 bits of green and 8 bits of blue. For 16 bit, there's no such widely used scheme; see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_depth#HighColor for some of the possibilities. You probably want the "5650" scheme, but it really depends on why the conversion is done; what do you know about that?
Also, what are the input and output file formats?
