text: Well in your area, the most prolific vine is trumpet vine, Campsis radicans. This fast growing vine develops bright orange, red or yellow flowers in mid-summer that are a hummingbird favorite. Be aware, though, that once it's established in your chain link, you will probably never be able to remove it. These vines grow thick and strong and will be almost impossible to unwind once established. The key is it needs at least 6 hours of sun a day.

The Voice
Flashback Photo: Voice Coach Christina Aguilera Sports Spotted Hair on New Year's Eve 1999 (PHOTO)
It looks like Christina was trying to audition for 2000's 102 Dalmatians in this flashback pic. The "Genie in a Bottle" singer dyed black spots in her hair for MTV's New Year's Eve party in Times Square.
The performance was more than four months after the release of her debut self-titled album, which featured the hit songs "Genie in a Bottle," "What a Girl Wants," and "I Turn to You."
What do you think of Christina's look? Dalmatian chic? Or is it time to stop partying like it's 1999? Watch the video of her performance and comment below!

The Atlantic unearthed a picture of Newt Gingrich and his third wife, Callista, posing arm in arm in front of Auschwitz. "Newt is wearing his default smirk," the magazine observes, and says "there is something distinctly off about these tourist-style shots in front of the Nazi death-camp." It's not actually that strange: exhaustive research reveals that the Gingrichs often pose—in the same outfits and with these same facial expressions, in fact!—at the sites of many of the world's great tragedies.
Here they are in Chernobyl.
The Gingriches visit the iceberg that caused the sinking of the Titanic.
And here again at Ford's theater, in the booth where President Lincoln was assassinated.
Gettysburg was fun.
And here they are on Liberty Island, the location of the 1999 launch of Talk magazine.

Chicken Dill Sauté
To keep this lemony spring chicken dish lean and luscious, we seared the meat in a little oil first, then just added water: It keeps the meat and vegetables from sticking to the pan — and helps make a flavorful sauce.

I have an
NSScrollView and its document view is an
NSView subview titled MasterPage. On MasterPage I have a bunch (depending on user input) of subviews (from a class called Page).They are laid out in a grid format. I'm trying to capture the
NSPoint of the mouse click on MasterPage. It works where there are no subviews but if the point clicked is within the area of a subview then the superview does not register it. Is there a way to do this? I hope that makes sense.
The red area registers a mouse click in the superview's .m file. The four subviews do not.

I would say it is more so that women are open about their depression and anxiety, and open concerning treatment options. Males tend to suffer in silence from the standpoint instilled since childhood of being the alpha.

Michael Fox
User Stats
Profile Images
User Bio
Michael tells stories. He tells them at 24 frames per second. Sometimes 30 and maybe even at 300. He trusts his rhythm. He trusts his instincts. And by doing that he's always been able to hit the right beats. These beats make moments and those moments make for great films. An artist from childhood, Mike's interest in filmmaking took hold as he was finishing high school. "I'm convinced I could've had a successful future in any of the arts but I gravitated to film because for me, it was all inclusive. Over the years I've come to discover that there's nothing else I'd rather be doing than creatively exploiting images. That's all editing really is anyway; creative problem solving and unadulterated manipulation. And staying invisible. By that I mean not letting the edit interfere with the viewing experience. If the audience can become immersed in the story, then I've done my job. But there's nothing quite like watching the audience physically react to a moment I've created; sweating palms, the unexpected jump, tearing up
at the right moment or just plain screaming."
Michael honed his story skills on a seven year stint with the Emmy and Golden Globe nominated CBS drama "Touched by an Angel". 200 episodes later he'd cut across multiple genres and had been able to work with several notable Hollywood directors such as Tim Van Patten (The Sopranos, Game of Thrones), Bethany Rooney (Brothers and Sisters, 90210) and Gene Reynolds (creator of M.A.S.H).
After the series cancellation, Michael teamed with friend and business partner Steve Haugen to form Savage Pictures, a high end post company that focused entirely on long form productions. Savage boasted indie and studio feature work, award winning documentaries and national/international television programming. While at Savage, Michael did work for 20th Century Fox, HBO, Showtime, Discovery, National Geographic, Lifetime, Lionsgate, The Weinstein Company, TV4 Sweden and many others while working alongside other notables; Roger Donaldson (The Bank Job, World's Fastest Indian), John Gilbert A.C.E. (The Fellowship of the Ring, Killer Elite) and Michael Landon Jr. (Saving Sarah Cain, The Shunning). Most recently he finished work on Discovery's "Airplane Repo", helmed by Matt Renner and Ethan Prochnik of "Deadliest Catch" fame.
Michael isn't all work though. In his off time he's a family man, father of three and something of a desert rat. "Being cooped up in a dark edit bay for weeks or months on end can take its toll. I have to counter it with something. For me, it's losing myself among the red rock canyons of the Colorado Plateau. Nothing recharges my creativity more than successfully cheating death."

So it just might work out for Joe Corley, Jim Marks and the rest of the West Genesee football team as the next chapter begins.
Dragged into a high-scoring shootout last Friday night in its season opener at Auburn, the Wildcats, perhaps drawing upon its 2007 state Class AA championship experience, showed all the poise down the stretch and produced a 56-35 victory over the Maroons.
A large, boisterous crowd at Holland Stadium bore witness to a rare sight -- the last two state champions confronting each other during the regular season.
As improbable as Auburn's run to that ultimate prize in 2006 was, it soon got company when the Wildcats made the same sprint to the top one year later, propelled there by the sideline leadership of head coach Steve Bush and the cool, brilliant work of quarterback Tim Moran.
When both of them left -- Bush to take an assistant coaching position with the NFL's Miami Dolphins, Moran to graduate -- the Wildcats' task of doing it all over again got a lot taller.
But at the insistence of the remaining players, WG promoted Corley, the popular offensive line coach, to the top job. And Marks, who had watched Moran practice his magic from the sidelines as a junior, now took over, determined to do the same thing.
Marks sure did his part, completing 16 of 22 passes for 330 yards. Much of the time, he threw it to wide receiver Jake Fietkiewicz, who had seven catches for 168 yards and a career-best four touchdowns.
First, though, WG had to withstand Auburn's fast and furious start. Sending the home fans into a frenzy, Ismail Brooks broke loose for a 69-yard touchdown run in the first quarter, and Dave Jacobs found Matt Wild on a 15-yard scoring pass to make it 14-0.

Journal of Computer Virology and Hacking Techniques
The Journal of Computer Virology and Hacking Techniques is an independent academic and technical journal dedicated to viral and antiviral computer technologies and hacking techniques (software and hardware). It considers both the theoretical and experimental aspects of computer virology and of the different techniques and approaches used by hackers.
The topics covered by this journal include but are not limited to the mathematical aspects and theoretical fundamentals of computer virology; algorithmics and computer virology; computer immunology and biological models for computers; reverse engineering (hardware and software); viral and antiviral technologies; cryptology and steganography tools and techniques; applications in computer virology; virology and IDS; hardware hacking, and free and open hardware; operating system, network, and embedded systems security; and social engineering.
While the academic world focuses on scientific methodologies (conciseness, precision and rigor of the scientific method), the hacking world approach focuses primarily on achieving goals and therefore favors the results over the methods, often producing outstanding results with new, innovative and sometimes unorthodox methods.
The goal of the journal is to enable a harmonious synthesis between both worlds and promote constructive research in computer virology and hacking techniques by publishing technical and scientific results, the ultimate objective being proactive research on attacks, through malware or not, and a proactive defense against them.
This journal was previously known as Journal in Computer Virology.

Yes actually it does. With age comes experience.
I've not only as I stated been working on and tuning cars before you were born, my brother was also a car mechanic and builder and I'd "help" him for years. I am also good friends with many tuners and worked closely with them for years.
It's not a "pissing match". You came on here quoting and replying to every one of my points saying I was wrong. LOL
Clearly you felt you knew more and tried to post that, so I let you know, I am essentially twice your age and before you were a twinkle in your parents eye's I had owned several cars already and had been modding them for years.
So it would be like a junior college graduate telling a tenured professor he was wrong on all his points. A bit arrogant, and quite frankly wrong on your part.
As for post on this forum.
Once again, I've been a member of auto forums since 1998. You were barely learning to ride a bike without training wheels at that point.
I never discredited you, just pointed out, your age tells me you have far less experience about cars than I, so as I said, "no disrespect". It was you who disrespected my responses.
Once again, it's you not understanding.
I know what gearing is and what it isn't.
I'd swapped out rear axle ratios in my first Mustang 5.0 before you were born.
The op pointed out that he was only getting 14 mpg on his new truck.
I mentioned that he needs to give it some time for some break in, and asked if he had 3.92's
Because the FACT of the matter is, on his STOCK truck (as it is now and as I was responding too) you will get worse gas mileage, especially on the highway, with 3.92's than you would with 3.21's
What exactly about that are you arguing about and don't understand.
I also clearly stated, that of course, IF or when he puts larger diameter tires on his truck, he would want the 3.92's and that's because the larger diameter tires essentially raise his gear ratio BACK down to 3.92 or even closer to 3.55 if his tires are tall enough.
I also clearly stated that of course with the larger tires you would NOT want 3.21 gears as you'd need to be heavier on the throttle to get the truck moving which eats into the gas.
Again, what part of those points of mine did YOU not understand and are arguing about?
I understand what you are saying, but what I said was, in my experience with CAI's and exhaust, the CAI has never given me better fuel economy.
What it gives me is more air into and by the MAF, which then compensates by adding more fuel, which gives you more power and less fuel economy.
I also stated, that I have never really tested the fuel economy benefits of adding an exhaust, as I've never added an exhaust without other mods.
But again, my point was, if you are driving the truck or car leisurely, you don't NEED a CAI.
It's not going to suck in any more air at leisure driving than a stock box would, because at leisure driving it doesn't NEED to.
At 1/4 throttle, you'll see zero power gains from a CAI than a stock box.
My other point was, if you are adding a CAI chances are you are desiring more power. If you desire better fuel economy, buying a truck should not be your priority. And further, even if you do, lifting it and putting larger tires on, surely is not the way to go, if MPG is your concern
Grow up kid!
I don't have any desire to debate this further, and your youthful arrogance is disrespectful and retarded.
I know what my experiences are and I shared them.
If yours are different, great, but don't come on a forum and tell a person twice your age who has boatloads of experience with autos that his experience is wrong and expect that I won't respond to those disrespectful assumptions on your part.
Good day.
And once again you come back with the pissing match answer. Just like you have with any one else on this thread who disagrees with you. If you don't think so then why do are you constantly pulling information into your argument that has absolutely nothing to so with the subject of this thread?
So whatever bud. I don't have time to sit here and argue with you. I actually spend my time helping people on the forum and giving them constructive and help full answers. Not tweaking at everyone who doesn't share the same opinion than me.
See ya later bro!

COLOMBIA, TOMPosted: June 13, 2015 Filed under: Colombia | Tags: Colombia, fans, football, jersey, Montreal, photography, portrait, soccer, sports, street 3 Comments
Why Colombia? I asked.
"My girlfriend."
Tom was born in Canada after his parents came from Hungary. He speaks fluent Hungarian and we had a nice chat (not in Hungarian) about second generation immigrants and languages here in Montreal. But, it was his girlfriend who turned him into a soccer fan. We agreed that Colombia has a very good team and had a nice showing at the last year's World Cup. Tom is an artist doing illustrations, paintings and drawings.
As I write this it's halftime at the Women's World Cup game between France and Colombia. Colombia is leading 1:0 and I imagine Tom and his girlfriend having a good time watching the game.
LIVERPOOL, ALEKSANDARPosted: January 14, 2015 Filed under: Liverpool Football Club | Tags: Aleksandar Hemon, Chicago, fans, football, jersey, Liverpool, photography, portrait, soccer, sports 4 Comments
Why Liverpool? I asked.
"You know why. Just write it down."
I do know why: for the same reasons as this guy. Sasha and I have been best friends for thirty years and we discussed football related matters about million times, so I know. He writes for living; about his literary genius you can read all over the internet. Better yet, just pick up one of his books. The latest one, The Making of Zombie Wars, is coming out in May this year and it truly is a roller-coaster ride of sex and violence. He can't help himself so Sasha often writes about soccer/football too. He's been quoted at the top of this page, a fine achievement I think.
We both love to play the game, not just talk about it, and were involved in many matches together, be it in Sarajevo, in Montreal or in Chicago, sometimes as teammates and sometimes on the opposite sides. The only argument we ever had was during one of those matches (we were teammates in that one). But then I tore both of my ACLs and retired from the game. Sasha still plays every week year-round, regardless of the weather, in a Chicago park.
RAJA CLUB ATHLETIC, HASSANPosted: January 12, 2015 Filed under: Raja Club Athletic | Tags: Bosnia, bread, Morocco, Mostar, Rabat, Raja, Ronaldo, table football. pinball., Vahid Halilhodzic 1 Comment
Why Raja Casablanca? I asked.
"Best, best, best"
The initial enthusiasm of someone who thinks he is a pinball wizard quickly deflated after a machine, accustomed to someone's else hands, hungry swallowed my coins. With great regret I made conclusion that my magic somehow vanished (I blame digital world) so I moved to the next room where local boys were attending what looked like a serious tournament in table football. To avoid further embarrassments, I choose a little boy age seven or something to play with. I use to own one of these tables and I think I'm good in it. However, it turns that the boy is not from this planet and he puts all the balls behind my wooden goalie before I even managed my tactics. I admit, in my career of promising table football player I lived though a number of humiliating defeats. The one in a dungeon just off Rue el Fassi in Morocco's capital Rabat is probably the worst one.
So I walked away, down the street and then left to a small alley following the irresistible smell of freshly baked bread. Like a black hole, a small bakery sucks me in. One of boys inside, Hassan is his name if I remember correctly, was wearing AC Milan shirt but as soon as he saw my camera he jumped and proudly put a green-and-white Raja Club Athletic jersey over it. Naturally, I took pictures of smiling Hassan and then followed him and one Ronaldo pushing carts with bread through the labyrinth of Rabat's old town.
Raja Club Athletic from Casablanca, eleven times champion of Morocco, had reputation of being a people's club for which was often more important to hide the ball and humiliate the opponent than to score goals. Many of my friends will now, with a loud sigh, think of FK Velež from Mostar in Bosnia and its legendary generation of artist players. It's not a surprise that one of these geniuses, Vahid Halilhodžić, led Raja Club Athletic to the Moroccan title as its manager in late nineties.
LIVERPOOL, KHUN BIRDPosted: October 3, 2014 Filed under: Liverpool Football Club | Tags: fans, football, photography, Phuket, portrait, soccer, sports, street, Thailand 2 Comments
WTF?, I asked.
"You know, Bird loves Liverpool", said one of his friends.
The idea and and rule of Footballists, simple and never-changing, is to talk and take pictures of people wearing shirts of their favourite football teams. This is, obviously, a special edition on our blog so let's make an exception. If Khun Bird would be wearing his favourite shirt today the gods would be angry, that's what his rule says. Actually, Khun Bird is a god today. More precisely, a god possess his body. It's complicated.
The bizarre vegetarian festival on Phuket, the island known to be a tourist heaven in southern Thailand, easily tops otherwise very bizarre list of events I normally attend in my wanderings through Southeast Asia. In short, the festival, featuring face and every other piercing, spirit mediums and strict vegetarianism is a part of the local Chinese community's belief that will help them obtain good health, and the rest that comes with pleading with Nine Emperor Gods. However, the original idea somehow developed into a spectacular festival of mind blowing rituals. Besides usual self-mutilation that is known to other religions in other parts of the world, what makes veggie fest in Phuket very special is variety of objects that are used to piece bodies. Car exhaust pipes and alloy wheels, chandeliers, nunchakus, models of racing cars and sailing ships, umbrellas, barbed wire and every possible kind of spikes, knifes and screwers plus M16s and other weapons – it is all pierced through cheeks and mouths of devotees of different Chinese temples as they parade through Phuket. That and many other unimaginable objects sharpened to cut through flesh. If you are in the mood, probably not, for some more pictures and attempts to explain the unexplainable, please look here and here.
Khun Bird, god for a day, loves Liverpool. I had no chance to talk to him directly as he was in trance with two metal rods carrying LFC flags, oranges stuck at their sharp ends, pierced through his mouth but members of his entourage, all wearing original Liverpool shirts, briefly explained his passion to me. So I took some pictures and then followed another god, fishing net coming from his mouth, into the crowd. For true believers this would be another strong proof that if you choose the right team, here and elsewhere, You'll Never Walk Alone.
BARCELONA, JOHNPosted: September 2, 2014 Filed under: Futbol Club Barcelona | Tags: Barcelona, Chelsea, fans, football, jersey, Montreal, photography, portrait, soccer, sports, street 2 Comments
Why Barca? I asked.
"I hate Barcelona. My club is Chelsea."
In front of a local carwash, this Labour day early morning, John and his two colleagues were waiting for the first customers to arrive. As I passed by I just said "Nice shirt" with my thumbs up. "No, not really." he replied to my surprise. After he told me that Chelsea is his team I asked, obviously, why Chelsea. "Anybody can play in Chelsea… black, white, you can be green, anybody. Not in Barcelona." He got this jersey from someone as a gift.
John's been living in Montreal for a few years now. He comes from South Africa.
ECUADOR, CAMILPosted: August 31, 2014 Filed under: Ecuador | Tags: Balotelli, Ecuador, fans, football, jersey, Liverpool, Montreal, photography, portrait, soccer, sports, street 1 Comment
Why Ecuador? I asked.
"And I'm not even from Ecuador… I got it as a gift a few years ago."
The rain had just started and I only had my phone on me ('the best camera is the one you have with you' as someone famously said) but I decided to stop Camil anyway. He grew up in Montreal but his parents come from France and Morocco. He supported France in the World Cup. I sensed his sympathy for Spain as well as he claimed that 'Spain will bounce back'.
Camil then asked me how did Liverpool play earlier in the day since we met a couple of hours after LFC match with Tottenham. It gave me much pleasure to report the score and a nice Balotelli debut. As we parted, just a block further into my walk, I ran into an advertising display at the local bus station. There was Mario Balotelli, larger then life, unreal, in this hockey city. This unexpected encounter must be a good omen for the season to come.
ARGENTINA, YANICKPosted: August 21, 2014 Filed under: Argentina | Tags: Argentina, fans, football, jersey, Montreal, photography, portrait, soccer, sports, street Leave a comment
Why Argentina? I asked.
"I have many friends that are from Argentina."
I walked into a store and there was Yanick, working. He was kind enough to step outside so I can photograph him. Yanick is from Montreal but has a strong connection with South America, his girlfriend is from Peru. Along the way he befriended a few Argentinians and started following their national team. Our chat was brief since he had to go back to work and I needed to go and get some flowers.
