Conceptually speaking, B_trees grow from the bottom up as elements are inserted, whereas most binary trees generally grow down.
The most common belief is that B may stand for balanced, as all the leaf nodes appear at the same level in the tree (this is described as a balanced tree state).
Searching is performed very similar to a binary tree search, simply by following the separation values until the value is found or the end of the tree is reached.

Trees sold with their roots in soil wrapped in burlap tend to be larger and more mature.
With a mature tree, that means heavy equipment operating even 60 feet away can compact the soil and damage roots, causing the tree to die in a few months or slowly over a period of years.
While trees planted in the last three or four years benefit from additional fertilizing and watering, large trees can actually be damaged by fertilizer and too much water.

No doubt reflecting a new Aussie focus on keeping employees happy during a period of increasing labour shortage (although curiously you rarely hear of a shortage of Comms people, do you?), Melcrum’s annual Employee Engagement conference is just about sold out.
I was lucky enough to be invited to speak on a panel at today's session of Streaming Media East by Chris Brogan.
The topic was "Lifecasting: The New Broadcasting Platform," and I was seemingly the odd man out, as I was joined by the likes of Sarah Austin of Pop17.com, Steve Garfield of SteveGarfield.com and Sariq Reichert of Flixwagon.

 BBC - collective - Cat Power - Speaking for Trees
This box set including DVD with a feature length film of Cat Power performing and extras — as well as a CD featuring one eighteen minute long song and a 64 page hand illustrated sleeve — is an extraordinary thing to come out of a modern artist, never mind to get past the record company.
In a tradition of experimentalist films, Speaking for Trees doesn’t include any clichéd or pointless footage; its originality is in its direct and focused approach to Cat Power and the scene around her.
Speaking for Trees’ hazy fascination with nature reminds me of Harmony Korine’s film Above the Below for channel 4.

 Cokemachineglow.com - Cat Power:
In a move that at once acknowledges and makes reparations for her mercurial performances, Speaking For Trees is first and foremost a nearly two-hour film of Chan singing and playing electric guitar in the same woods that grace the album art of You Are Free (2003).
The movie can either be viewed as an extremely generous gesture by one of the music world’s most reticent performers, or in light of the format of the movie (Chan standing in the middle ground, at times turning away or stopping to fix her hair) an exact recreation of her in concert persona.
Speaking For Trees may be the best way to experience a Cat Power performance at this point, and that’s probably just the way Chan Marshall wants it.

Speaking for Trees is a stream-of-consciousness video woven together by reknowned visual artist Mark Borthwick in the middle of the woods in the summer of 2002.
Speaking for Trees, along with the "videos" that serve as extras and the sixty page booklet of Borthwick's art, are really about intimacy.
Speaking for Trees also comes with a one track CD, an eighteen minute epic entitled "Willie Deadwilder." The song, which features guitar by M. Ward, is stunning.

Just as strategically placed trees can increase privacy by blocking your home from the street, they can increase energy efficiency by blocking it from the elements.
Generally speaking, deciduous trees are planted to provide cooling shade in summer and warmth from the sun when they shed their leaves in winter.
To keep the home naturally cool, species with high crowns should be planted to the south to shade the roof, while smaller trees are planted to the west to shade windows from the afternoon sun.

 Dave's Garden: Definition of crown
When speaking of trees, the crown is the area above the trunk, where succeedingly smaller and smaller branches, stems and twigs form.
The shape of the tree crown helps in identifying the particular kind of tree it is. The size and shape is also used to determine a particular tree's vigor and overall health.
Trees that are taller than their neighboring trees and shrubs are referred to as dominant crowns and receive more light than the plants around them.

 Understory Trees - Shady Characters   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Many of these understory trees are low maintenance, requiring little pruning, and adapt well to a wide range of climatic conditions, soils, insects and diseases.
Unlike most flowering trees, which are adapted to full sunlight, these two species are shady characters—faring better where there is partial shade all day, especially in the afternoon.
Grown as an understory tree, the Rough Leaf Dogwood (coraceae cornus drummondii) is airy and delicate, with clusters of small white flowers in late spring and berries at summer’s end.

The trees, to the Ithorians, the bones of mother jungle.
Qui Gon and Obi Wan sat on thick winding roots in the middle of a web-like grove of trees, husking leafy green seedpods for the seeds inside.
That night, as he lay on a folded blanket stuffed with dry grass, in front Jezzack's door, Qui Gon's normally dreamless sleep was filled with the cool green of leaves, the moist nurturing darkness of earth, and the flashing of sunlight.

 Res Ipsa Loquitur: Speaking of Trees
Part of the mess in our new back yard is the remnants of a large walnut tree which had gotten blown down in a thunderstorm earlier this year....and I get the giggles every time I look at it.
After the storm, she said, a 'very good friend' of theirs had volunteered to 'help them out' by getting rid of the tree for them because he heated with wood.
Now that may very well be true, but I couldn't help but notice that the trunk appeared to be the only thing he'd taken....even though most of the remaining branches were plenty big enough to use as firewood.

Speaking For Trees: A Film By Mark Borthwick is either a huge artistic conceit or a cheeky practical joke; either way, its soundtrack saves the day.
The CD accompanying Speaking For Trees provides a similar mix of indulgence and magic: It features one hypnotic song, "Willie Deadwilder," that spirals slowly out to 18 minutes.

 Legally Speaking - with Bob Mionske: An Act of God?
Now, it may seem that a tree falling on a road while someone is passing by is a rare occurrence, but it's not as rare as you might think; the courts have been hearing cases on injury from falling trees for years.
The proximate cause is a falling tree, under foreseeable circumstances such as high winds, which, because the tree is visibly decayed, the owner knew or should have known was hazardous.
In order to remove or otherwise disturb a street tree, the property owner must obtain a permit from the Town; one of the circumstances which would justify a permit to remove a tree would be if the tree is dead, diseased, infested, or drying.

 Don't talk to the trees - 23 December 2006 - New Scientist
For the last three years I have been fighting off the creeping feeling that the trees in my train station were trying to communicate.
I know I have probably read too much science fiction, but the phenomenon was certainly unusual enough to defy all simple explanations and occurred over and over again, in all kinds of weather, wind and emotional states, in spring, summer and fall.
Thank you for enlightening me that the leaves were "breathers", that is "not on speaking terms with the rest of the lattice".

 Cat Power: Speaking for Trees: Pitchfork Record Review   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Speaking for Trees obscures Marshall even as it presents her literally at the center of the frame.
They're more intriguing than Speaking for Trees-- and not just because they're shorter or there is more activity in the frame, but because they're primarily visual rather than musical and/or documentary pieces.
The accompanying CD is as conceptual as Speaking for Trees' titular film: For one thing, it only has one song, whimsically titled "Willie Deadwilder".

 speaking of trees » 2007
Winter Solstice occurs around December 21 or 22 each year and is characterized as the shortest day of year due to the twenty-three and one half degree tilt of the earth in the sky in its annual revolution around the sun.
If you are on the equator at Winter Solstice you would see the sun rise in the east, travel in an arc overhead across the sky and be sixty-seven and one half degrees from the horizon at noon and then set in the west.
I once saw a tree in Wyoming where the winds tend to blow quite fiercely.  The tree stood alone in the middle of a vast windblown prairie.  It was large and gnarly and truly lovely.  Hmmm.  This is interesting.  What can this tree tell me about life?

 Rabbi Ciner's Weekly Parsha page, 5762 - Parshas Shlach
He explains that although Miriam was publicly punished for speaking against her brother, the spies, who had witnessed her punishment, didn't learn their lesson.
If the spies who spoke about trees and stones, and therefore only sinned against Hashem, were punished so severely, one who speaks about a person, and thereby sins against both Hashem and man, will certainly be punished.
It was tantamount to speaking against trees and stones.

This is a medium-sized tree, typically growing on collapsed termite mounds or on the fringe of drainage lines and rivers.
The seeds are encased in a woody pod which eventually splits along its seams, and may remain on the tree long after the seeds have been dispersed.
The flowers are not as profuse as in its larger relative, but remain on the tree for much longer and so provide an extended nectar source for sunbirds and other birds.
