the perfect tree?
I probably could have posted this in other forums, but I follow this one closely and I just know many of you will be able to help me. I'll try to make this as short and to-the-point as possible...
I just got myself a new backyard (and a house of course) and I'm pretty much starting from scratch. It's on the small side, about 60' x 60'.
In the back corner there is an existing Balsam Fir, approx. 12' high with an 8' spread. This tree is not going anywhere as it blocks the neighbour's view of my yard from their kitchen, deck etc.
There is a mature maple towards the back centre of the yard, about 20 feet away from the fir. The maple has about a 2' diameter trunk (I think it's a silver maple) and thus is quite tall (maybe 60').
On the other side of the fir, to the southwest in my neighbour's yard, there is a mature oak (white?). It is about the same size and spread as the maple. The two large trees are about 40' or 50' apart and their main branches start at about 30' off the ground.
What I'm looking for is the perfect tree to put in between all this. I have marked a location about halfway between the fir and the maple and about 8' - 10' away from the back fence. My backyard is on the west side of my house (my front door faces east), so the oak will block most of the afternoon sun. I understand that I should be looking for an understorey tree, but I also have a few other stipulations.
1) This tree will pretty much be the focal point of my yard as seen from inside the house, so it must have four season interest (form, fruit, flowers, bark etc.)
2) It must attract birds
3) It must be native to Southern Ontario
4) For the sanity of future owners, it must have a limited height (max 30') and spread (15' - 20'). I can't stand it when I see someone plant a tree in the wrong spot (like my brother who planted a paperbirch two feet away from the back of his house...what an idiot!!!..but that's a different story).
So far, I am seriously considering a Flowering Dogwood.
What do you think?...good choice?...or can someone recommend something better?
Thanks for reading this and helping me find this panacea of trees.
I think dogwoods are supposed to be understory trees actually, but a lot of people use them as specimens. I may be wrong about this, but if the location is not somewhat sheltered, I think you may have trouble getting a dogwood to last that far north. You might want to check. I find that they say pink dogwood can make it here in zone 5/6, but that is pushing it. I have seen a few in sheltered locations (understory in-town locations that are sheltered from wind), but not here out in the windy part of town. I am even thinking that the regular white C. florida sometimes doesn't do well here. I am just going on what I have seen. I am no expert. I have no suggestions for you though. I happen to have a pagoda dogwood that is doing well out in the windy part of my yard, so who knows?
Well, C. florida is listed as a native species to this area (as are a number of other dogwood sp.), but I'm just going from the literature, I have no practical experience with them. However, considering I'm southwest of the snowbelt and the location IS fairly sheltered by suburbia, I'm thinking that the elements shouldn't be a problem.
But as I mentioned previously, I just want to make sure it's the right tree for the right reasons.
I don't want to look back and say, "if only I planted a...."
Nohandle: Exactly what I mean!! They sell them here too (the pink and the white), but I have seen people lose the pink and when I talked to a nursery, they told me that they are not hardy enough except in a sheltered location.
I do not have a sheltered location. I just buy small trees and then the investment isn't ridiculous. You do have to have patience though. I planted the pagoda a couple of years ago. I got a few in a package of dogwoods. One has done really well and that is the one that is more out in the open. I think they do like some shade from afternoon sun. I have also read they like moist, rich soil. That sounds like an understory tree to me.
IÂm not sure if itÂs an issue where you are, but IÂve lost 3 of the 4 flowering dogwoods that came with the house to a disease called dogwood anthracnose. I think the 4th tree has a good chance of surviving because it gets less shade than the others did. It sounds like youÂre pursuing vonyonÂs suggestion of pagoda dogwood, but wanted to warn you just in case.
You might consider Serviceberry (Amelanchier). It gets white to pink flowers in spring followed by berries in summer(loved by birds)and many cultivars turn red in fall. It can be grown as a broad multistemmed shrub or trained to a single trunk if you prefer. It grows 15-25ft tall in full sun to part shade. It is also native to North America.
Just a thought.
Ok, after doing a little research, Serviceberry is definitely an option...very nice tree...shrub...whatever it is. Thanks for the suggestion.
However, if I also added the criteria that I would like the tree/shrub in question to provide a little privacy from the neighbour's yard, would any of the three (the two dogwoods or the Serviceberry) be a better choice? I guess one would have to take growth rate into consideration too.
Any comments?

My two nights at the West Side Inn stand out as the worst travel experience of my life. It has been a while since I stayed there, but I just stumbled across the trip advisor listing and see that apparently it has not improved. I have stayed at cheap hostels in Europe and plenty of cheap roadside motels in the US. I am REALLY not picky. But this was way beyond anything I have seen before. Every surface of the halls, bedroom, communal bathroom, and kitchen area were filthy in addition to being tiny, old, and broken down. I made the mistake of leaving my shower shoes at home, so I tied plastic grocery bags around my feet so that they didn't come in contact with anything when I was showering and getting dressed -- it was that bad. Maybe I was there on a bad day or something, but I just can't even convey how grimy everything was. There also weren't nearly enough bathrooms, so you had to fight a crowd just to get to the shower. Half the lights didn't seem to be working, so everything was just barely lit -- which I guess just helped to camouflage the dirt. I know you get what you pay for, and it was super cheap by NYC standards, but I still blame the West Side Inn for having a totally misleading web site. If you are desperate for something really cheap, then I guess maybe I can see staying there -- just know that what you're getting looks like a crack house from out of the movies.

Beating Tree Poems
A rose I am no more
If roses are the colors pink, red, yellow & white, What happens if my rose is the color of black. If all roses have their thorns, What happens if my rose has lost its thorns.
I take a step
I take a step every second. I take a breath every two. Not looking back is what I have I to do.
A written stutter
Coughing as if it's all I can do do. I I write & I write as I stutter reading the the words. Im in in this this this mansion of needles needles and medics. In the corner the corner please please please is what I mutter mutter.
Always lost in thought
Always looking forward yet not able to see, always blind. Always speechless, always trapped in a maze of thoughts. Always paying attention to nothing, always lonely. Always breathless, always running from something.
Covered & Colored
Buried & covered in mud. Tears in the color of red Suits & dresses of black. Umbrellas covered in rain.
Purple & Green Shadows
Part 1 When stars aren't shining after the sun's no longer burning. It rumbles & grumbles, my stomachs twisting and turning. My room fills with screaming, haunting & unforgiving shadows.
Hells not hot its cold
Cold why is my heart so cold in the inferno of mans sins. My heart has gone black, in this frozen pillar of ice. My heart can't beat anymore, in this place where love dies. My heart isn't strong anymore, weekend by these everlasting frozen tears.
Across the sea
Across the sea is where I will be. I wonder what awaits me, oh wonders that are heavenly. The gaze of maidens that hold beauty unknown to me. The end of a scythe, that death brings secretly.
Someday I will see you. Someday I will free you. I will shatter your cage of ice & snow. I will use my beating key make it melt & glow.
We can live inside a cave. We can live inside my mind. The only thing I want is to be by your side. The only thing I need for you is to live splendidly.
I died in the winter
I died in the winter, I died in the rain, Cold and alone, Scared and afraid,
A Blood Red King
The king that bleeds when he cry's The dog who wishes to fly. I'm the person who works to love. I'm the kind that could never hide in a cave.
My Heart Was Born With Wings
Born with wings, It's feathers began to burn into the mountain side, Floating on the lake's water they burned.
The people of the sky, do you think they turn the sky grey? The ones with holy wings, do you think they make the birds sing? The people of the clouds, do you think they make the clouds cry? The ones with golden halos, do you think are always watching?

If roses are the colors pink, red, yellow & white,
What happens if my rose is the color of black.
If all roses have their thorns,
What happens if my rose has lost its thorns.
If a rose that has no color & no thorns is no longer a rose,
Then a rose of color & thorns I am no more.
A rose I am no more, A rose I am no more.

Michael Palmer of Artfully Disheveled
Emma Arnold
Michael Palmer is the designer behind the accessories line Artfully Disheveled. I ran into him at Dose Market where he and partner Chris Berre were selling their ties, bow ties and pocket squares. I love how Michael's bow tie isn't perfect, it's the very definition of artfully disheveled.
The needle pattern on this bow tie is supremely cool and is a reference to their logo. You can buy this bow tie as well as shop their entire catalog on the Artfully Disheveled Website.

Oh my gosh the part when Legolas, Strider(Aragorn) and the dwarf had this contest on who could kill the most was awesome =D Love this series...
Great movie, special effects on a grand scale, and simply enjoyable for what it is. Lots of true LOTR fans love it, while many others felt disappointed by it...which is somewhat understandable considering the fact that NO MOVIE will / can ever be 100% true to its novel-book version.
Having said that, enjoy the movie for what it is. Better yet, I'd highly recommend putting the standard movie version aside and seeking out the "extended" versions of all three LOTR movies. At nearly 4 hours each (totalling around 12 hours in the trilogy), you'll definitely get more insight into the storyline, each character, etc. as director Peter Jackson had originally wanted to be shown on the big screen (the MPAA refused his original versions in theaters due to the length of each movie, thus, so much crucial material was forced to be cut out of it). Get the "extended" editions of all three LOTR movies...you won't regret it.
Very disappointing movie. While the book LOTR is excellent this movie is insipid.
This is what i have to say about this:
This is my all time favorite. I really like Legolas…He's funny in this one.
After watching the whole trilogy, I'd say that this one is my least favorite. But I still loved it! :) It must have been tantalizing when they first released the Two Towers to wait for The Return of the King. Glad I didn't have to!
This film, series and genre, geared for and supported by a young audience, has been overrated.
I enjoyed this movie more than the first, but I am not sure why. However, Gollum got to be a bit much (way too much) with his tortured soul and that at the end made the movie drag, and took away some of the magic.
THIS DISC IS DAMAGED and virtually UNPLAYABLE.
Fantastic movie! Amazing battle sequences! Jackson did a good job bringing the characters from the book into the movie. even though this is one of my favorite movies, I still like the books so much better! :)
Amazing movie. Legolas is awesome. Great battles scenes. A must see for action movie fans.
QuotesAdd a Quote
Gimli (to Legolas): "I'm on 2 already!"
Legolas: "Im on 19."
"By rights, we shouldn't even be here"
No kidding..read the book!!! Good movie anyhow.
Aragorn: Legolas! What do your elf eyes see?
Legolas: The Uruks turn north-east. They're taking the hobbits to Isengard!
Gimli: "You'll have to toss me. (Aragorn stares) Gimli: "I can't jump that far! You'll have to toss me!" (Aragorn hesitantly nods; Gimli puts his hand on Aragorn's arm) Gimli: "Don't tell the elf." Aragorn: "Not a word."
Sam: Face it, Mr. Frodo. We're lost. I don't think Gandalf meant for us to come this way.
Frodo: Gandalf didn't mean for a lot of things to happen, Sam.
Frodo: Nothing ever dampens your spirits, does it, Sam?
Sam: That raincloud might.
Pippin (to Merry); I had the loveliest dream last night! There was this large barrel full of pipe-weed, and we smoked all of it. And then you were sick.
Legolas; Final count: forty-two.
Gimli; Forty-two? Oh, that's not bad for a pointy-eared, elvish princling. I myself am sitting pretty on forty-three.
Merry; He doesn't look too happy, does he?
Pippin; Not too happy at all, Merry.
Merry; Still, I suppose the view is nice from up there.
Pippin; Oh, yes. It's a quality establishment. I hear the staff are very good. What are you doing?
Merry; Nothing. The world's back to normal. That's all.
Pippin; No it isn't. I'm starving.
Merry; Good luck trying to find anything decent to eat in this place. Probably only dead rats and moldy bread. Saruman's store room!
Pippin; I don't believe it!
Merry; It can't be!
Pippin; It is!
Merry; Long-bottom leaf. Finest pipe weed in the South Farthing.
Pippin; It's perfect! One barrel each! Wait! Do you think we should share it with Treebeard?
Merry; Share it? No, no. Dead plant and all that. Don't think he'd understand. Could be a distant relative.
Pippin; Oh I get it. Don't be hasty.
Merry; Exactly.
Galadriel; The time of the Elves is over. Do we leave Middle-Earth to it's fate? Do we let them stand alone?

Standing 36 stories tall in the SoMa neighborhood, The Westin San Francisco Market Street (not to be mistaken for the nearby Westin St. Francis) wins guests over with magnificent views of the Yerba Buena Gardens and the San Francisco Bay. And once they've fully absorbed the scenery from the floor-to-ceiling windows, visitors can turn their attention to the guest rooms. Although the room decor can only be described as standard Westin, travelers say they felt comfortable thanks to Heavenly Beds, turndown service and ample living space. Visitors are invited to stretch their legs in the on-site fitness center, and they can stretch their stomachs at Maso, which serves of fresh farm-to-table versions of comfort food. Because of its family ties, The Westin San Francisco Market Street participates in the Starwood Preferred Guest loyalty program.

27 year old man | Bixby Knolls, CA, USA | Seeking women 20-25 within 30 miles of Long Beach, CA
Friendship or more... but the journey's the thing.
I'm devoted to God and attend church weekly; faith defines who I am. I think Jesus is a pretty big deal and being equally yoked with a wife is rather important. I'm finishing up my undergrad in English at CSULA this spring. I was going to teach English abroad in Asia, but decided to first attend graduate school. I'll start my single subject credential and MA in Education this fall! I love being a student; learning is my way of life. I find ignorance a shame when you have abundant opportunities to seek answers. Outside of school, which takes a ridiculous amount of time when trying to get good grades, I love being active. I rock climb (indoor) once or twice a week, go to the gym, run, swim, and occasionally hike. Few are physical activities I would not be willing to try. The past few years I've done triathlons, mud runs, and running races of varying length. I've been blessed with wonderful parents and a sister whom I love. Unfortunately I hate no pets. I prefer dogs to cats, and definitely want the former when I have a house, but I don't mind the latter (if they aren't anti-social). Feel free to ask me anything, I'm the proverbial open-book: )
I like Cats, Dogs
Bridge-to-nowhere, Long Beach rock jetty, sunny vistas
California State University, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, CA
I love warm weather, sunny days, lunch with friends, talking about the Lord, encouraging others to make the right decision, playing with dogs, and breathing in a tree-dense environment.
I enjoy working out, whether it's at a regular, cross fit, or indoor rock climbing gym. Hiking, running, biking, swimming, paddle boarding are also favorites. I also read a lot, mostly fiction, and play PS3.
I'm an English major. This quarter I've read: Beowulf, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, Canterbury Tales, The York Crucifixion, Turn of the Screw (creepy), Puddin'Head Wilson, Behind a Mask, Maggie, Life in the Iron Mills. The Bible, 2 Sam and the NT

With child... and shame
Tabloid fixation with 'fat,' pregnant Kim K and other celebrities says more about us than it does about them
Kim Kardashian and Gloria Steinem -- not two names you usually hear in the same news story.
But last week, the prominent American feminist felt compelled to defend the trashy, fame-mongering reality-TV star. Kardashian, who is currently six months' pregnant, is being hounded by the pregnancy police about her size.
Now, you could say that a woman who made her reputation with a sex tape and has followed up with a non-stop barrage of bikini Twitpics has set herself up to be judged by her body.
And you could say that a woman who has become famous for being famous, whose only real "job" is to ride that up-down, love-hate tabloid cycle, should be prepared to take the bad with the good.
If she gets to sell photos from her sham wedding to basketball player Kris Humphries for $1.5 million, she should be prepared for a few unflattering jokes while carrying her lucrative first child.
You could even say that Kardashian and her entire appalling family -- all those kreepy K-named siblings, along with Kim's current boyfriend, noted public narcissist Kanye West -- are an irrelevant circus sideshow. Certainly, Kardashian seemed gratingly out-of-touch when she tweeted about stepbrother Kris Jenner's QVC television appearance in the immediate aftermath of Monday's Boston Marathon bombings.
And I hear you. As someone who reads People magazine for work, I hear you. And usually, I like a bit of Kardashian-bashing as much as the next gal. But Kardashian's current troubles are part of a much larger issue, one that has real-life consequences for regular non-famous, non-horrible people. The relentless scrutiny of women's bodies, the unceasing snarking about weight, the weird confusion between "pregnant" and "fat" are all part of a broader cultural problem.
Those taunting tabloid headlines and mocking social media posts may be aimed at Kim Kardashian, but they hurt us all.
The celebrity pregnancy fixation starts early, with the first sighting of the "baby bump," often highlighted in photos with a yellow "arrow of shame." The headlines speculate wildly, but at this point it's impossible to tell whether the woman is "enceinte" or whether she's eaten a cheeseburger, either option seen as a risky exception to the compulsory thinness of the female celebrity body.
Once pregnancy is confirmed, any visible weight gain is viewed as a lurking, looming danger, as if the woman's abdomen is being held hostage by enemy forces or perhaps being taken over by an alien life form.
The post-partum period is even more punishing, as the new mother struggles to "get her body back" with a swift, ruthless workout and diet regimen. Again, there's an unspoken idea that what she's been walking around in for the last nine months wasn't her "real" body but an unfortunate big-bellied, thick-ankled replica.
These media narratives push the idea that the pregnant body is somehow out-of-control and unnatural. And they reinforce the larger notion that there is one way for a body to look, and that anything that interferes with that -- like time, age, illness or, well, life -- should be regarded as an aberration.
Most tabloid pregnancy coverage, even of "nice girls" like the Duchess of Cambridge, is tricky. (Kate, who is also six months' pregnant, is currently being chastised for being too thin.)
With Kardashian, whose public image is bound up with a queasy mix of lust and loathing, it's even more problematic.
There's the sensationalized speculation: "Kim's worst nightmare: Dumped at 200 pounds!" The unflattering photos: Pictures of Kardashian eating ice cream are displayed as shameful criminal evidence, as if the paparazzi had caught her killing somebody with her bare hands.
There are even conspiracy theories: A recent story ("Paid to Get Fat!") suggests that Kardashian's burgeoning body is part of a devious plan to snag a lucrative post-pregnancy weight-loss deal.
The stories are invasive, offensive and -- most importantly -- not just about Kim Kardashian. When we're nasty about celebrity bodies, we end up being nasty about ourselves.

I think we have ruled out that Cox is blocking torrent sites. Those are just flaky sites that go up and down on a whim.
No, that hasn't been ruled out since I can connect to torrentcrazy.com through my verizon 4g connection, I can connect to it from my work computer, I can connect to it through my at&t 4g connection and most other wireless connections outside of cox. As a matter of fact, I just did a brand new install of windows 7 on this computer that I'm typing on right now and I can't access it through cox either. There is nothing loaded on this machine except for internet explorer. At this point, I have to assume that cox is either blocking it or rerouting it into a black hole somewhere.
Or torrentcrazy.com is blocking Cox, some or all of their IP blocks. Meanwhile I'm seeing the exact same thing (page won't load) using Clearwire. I think it is on TC's end.

A small army of volunteers keep this award-winning charitable group - and all of its equipment - running. They are all working to preserve New Zealand's railway history and the history of the South Canterbury area.
If you're not from the area and don't know where to find us you can pinpoint us here. And if your visit doesn't co-incide with a running day you can arrange a special visit, or simply drop by most Saturdays or Wednesdays, when the team are on site.
This Easter at the Pleasant Point Railway sees the launch of the third book in the popular "Kiwi the Engine" trilogy.
The book, "Kiwi the Engine meets Queen Bee" follows on from "Kiwi The Engine and Friends and the Railway Rabbits" and "Kiwi The Engine and Friends Find a Little Brown Egg".
The series of books are written by Pleasant Point writer Karalyn Joyce and illustrated by Whangarei's Helen Applegate.
The concept has been popular with visitors over Easter Weekend.
The 137-year-old engine, D16, and the three carriages are named after native birds and animals – Kiwi is the engine, and the carriages trundling along behind it are named Tama the Tuatara, Percy the Little Blue Penguin and Polly the Pukeko.
Karalyn Reid says the books are also educational, having facts about the characters they portray. She says "Kiwi The Engine and Friends and the Railway Rabbits" taught kids about pests introduced to New Zealand,
"Kiwi the Engine meets Queen Bee" focuses on the honey bee and beekeeping, along with information about the town of Pleasant Point three of its iconic business people.
Other characters continue in this book – the funny old Station Master, neighbour Farmer Brown, the kind lady in the ticket office.
All three books will be available on the Saturday and Sunday of Easter at the Pleasant Point Railway, or by emailing here.
Pleasant Point joined the celebrations of 150 years of rail in New Zealand, with a special event on July 20 and 21.Two steam engines pulled trains throughout the weekend. Joining it, the Model T Ford railcar, RM4 gave rides on the Saturday, with a motorised track jigger and trolley giving rides on the Sunday.

Martha Stewart Club Sofa
In searching for a neutral sofa, I ran across the Club sofa in the Martha Stewart line on www.Macys.com. I could only find one short customer review, which was very positive.
Do any of you have this sofa? I would appreciate any comments regarding durability, comfort, or general satisfaction with this sofa (or with Martha Stewart upholstered furniture in general).
The style and price are right, and I am tempted.
I like that sofa. When I was looking for one earlier, they couldn't send me any samples of the fabric and my local store didn't have it. It would have been buying it totally based on the website. I wasn't comfortable with that. Maybe times have changed.
What I have noticed about Macy's furniture reviews is this...they all are good. Mysteriously. I've never seen a bad one. This leads me to believe they are edited. Just my opinion.
Well this caught my eye in my quest for new family room furniture. It is what I call "normal" looking and I like it. There only seem to be very few to actually see in person and I think I am going to try to get to one of the locations where they claim to have it. I can't comment on durability or any of that. I am guessing its pretty decent but my new outlook is that there is hardly any furniture any more that I can expect to really last....it is nice though...

As we shared in May, Microsoft is prioritizing helping users stay up-to-date with the latest version of Internet Explorer. Today we would like to share important information on migration resources, upgrade guidance, and details on support timelines to help you plan for moving to the latest Internet Explorer browser for your operating system.
Microsoft offers innovative and transformational services for a mobile-first and cloud-first world, so you can do more and achieve more; Internet Explorer is core to this vision. In today's digital world, billions of people use Internet-connected devices, powered by cloud service-based applications, spanning both work and life experiences. Running a modern browser is more important than ever for the fastest, most secure experience on the latest Web sites and services, connecting anytime, anywhere, on any device.
Developers benefit when users stay current on the latest Web browser. Older browsers may not support modern Web standards, so browser fragmentation is a problem for Web site developers. Web app developers, too, can work more efficiently and create better products and product roadmaps if their customers are using modern browsers. Upgrading benefits the developer ecosystem.
Users also benefit from a modern browser that enables the latest digital work and life experiences while decreasing online risks. Internet Explorer 11, our latest modern browser, delivers many benefits:
Microsoft recommends enabling automatic updates to ensure an up-to-date computing experience—including the latest version of Internet Explorer—and most consumers use automatic updates today. Commercial customers are encouraged to test and accept updates quickly, especially security updates. Regular updates provide significant benefits, such as decreased security risk and increased reliability, and Windows Update can automatically install updates for Internet Explorer and Windows.
For customers not yet running the latest browser available for your operating system, we encourage you to upgrade and stay up-to-date for a faster, more secure browsing experience. Beginning January 12, 2016, the following operating systems and browser version combinations will be supported:
After January 12, 2016, only the most recent version of Internet Explorer available for a supported operating system will receive technical support and security updates. For example, customers using Internet Explorer 8, Internet Explorer 9, or Internet Explorer 10 on Windows 7 SP1 should migrate to Internet Explorer 11 to continue receiving security updates and technical support. For more details regarding support timelines on Windows and Windows Embedded, see the Microsoft Support Lifecycle site.
As some commercial customers have standardized on earlier versions of Internet Explorer, Microsoft is introducing new features and resources to help customers upgrade and stay current on the latest browser. Customers should plan for upgrading to modern standards—to benefit from the additional performance, security, and productivity of modern Web apps—but in the short term, backward compatibility with legacy Web apps may be a cost-effective, if temporary, path. Enterprise Mode for Internet Explorer 11, released in April 2014, offers enhanced backward compatibility and enables you to run many legacy Web apps during your transition to modern Web standards.
Today we are announcing that Enterprise Mode will be supported through the duration of the operating system lifecycle, to help customers extend their existing Web app investments while staying current on the latest version of Internet Explorer. On Windows 7, Enterprise Mode will be supported through January 14, 2020. Microsoft will continue to improve Enterprise Mode backward compatibility, and to invest in tools and other resources to help customers upgrade and stay up-to-date on the latest version of Internet Explorer.
Microsoft offers numerous online support resources for customers and partners who wish to migrate to the latest version of Internet Explorer.
For customers and partners who want hands-on guidance, Microsoft has a number of deployment and compatibility services available to assist with migrations. These services include:
By offering better backward compatibility and resources to help customers upgrade, Microsoft is making it easier than ever before for commercial customers to stay current on the latest version of Internet Explorer. In addition to modern Web standards, improved performance, increased security, and greater reliability, migrating to Internet Explorer 11 also helps unlock upgrades to Windows 8.1 Update, services like Office 365, and the latest Windows devices.
— Roger Capriotti, Director, Internet Explorer

Bitbucket vs. GitHub: Which project host has the most?
The right choice boils down to a number of factors -- you might even consider using both
The question is not "Do I host my source code?" If you're a one-person shop, the answer should be yes. If you're a midsized consulting firm, the answer should be yes. If you're a huge distributed product company, the answer should be yes. You get the picture.
The real question: "With whom do I host my source code?" The answer to that question is not as straightforward as the first and will require more thought and research.
[ Get the most out of version control, download our Quick guide: 20 tips and tricks for Git and GitHub users. | Learn how to work smarter, not harder with InfoWorld's roundup of all the tips and trends programmers need to know in the Developers' Survival Guide. Download the PDF today! | Keep up with the latest developer news with InfoWorld's Developer World newsletter. ]
At the company I work for, we hosted our own source code up until a drunk driver ran into our office building, and shortly thereafter we faced the same question. We did some preliminary research that narrowed our choices down to GitHub and Bitbucket, but there wasn't a clear winner between the two. Here are some points to consider when picking the right source code hosting solution. The points are listed roughly in order of importance. The first points are critical, while the last points are icing.
RCS support
Which RCS (revision control system) you use could end the search for you right off the bat. Bitbucket officially supports Git and Mercurial. There's been a rickety solution for Subversion users on Bitbucket, but it's too flaky and will be removed on Oct. 1.
GitHub supports Git, end of story. If you've been using Subversion and you want to change, GitHub posts instructions for making the transition.
Bitbucket vs. GitHub: Revision control support
We had been using Subversion, so we were out of luck for both GitHub and Bitbucket. We had been considering a switch to Git but had no logical reason to undergo that sort of transition. Our cloud exodus was going to be a migration project in any case, so we chose to make the switch to Git as a part of it.
Public vs. private
Both GitHub and Bitbucket support public and private repositories, so you can't rule out one or the other based simply on feature set. Your needs here, however, will determine which of the next two factors will be more important to you. If you have mostly public projects, then community involvement will have more weight in your decision. On the other hand, if you're dealing with more than just a few private projects, then the pricing model will be a more important detail.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Sens. Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton earned praise from anti-war activists but criticism from Republicans on Friday for voting against a measure to pay for the Iraq war that sets no timetables for withdrawing U.S. troops.
The two leading 2008 Democratic presidential contenders had been under heavy pressure from the party's influential anti-war wing and from other Democratic candidates to oppose the emergency funding bill sought by President George W. Bush.
Unlike an earlier funding bill Bush vetoed on May 1, the measure passed comfortably on Thursday by the Senate and House of Representatives did not have deadlines for pulling out U.S. combat troops.
Obama and Clinton had refused to say how they would vote, but ultimately sided with opponents of the increasingly unpopular war. Liberal advocacy groups like MoveOn.org had warned Democrats who backed the measure of possible political consequences.
Republican presidential contenders John McCain and Mitt Romney blasted Obama and Clinton for not supporting U.S. troops -- a criticism likely to linger into next year's general election campaign and the November 2008 vote for the White House.
"I was very disappointed to see Senator Obama and Senator Clinton embrace the policy of surrender," said McCain, an Arizona senator who backed the bill.
"This vote may win favor with MoveOn and liberal primary voters, but it's the equivalent of waving a white flag to al Qaeda," McCain said, setting off a testy exchange with Obama.
Obama said Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, and McCain "clearly believe the course we are on is working, but I do not," and said proof could be found in McCain's need for heavy security on a recent stroll through a Baghdad market.
McCain, a Vietnam War veteran, said his experience gave him a different view than Obama had gained during "two years in the U.S. Senate."
Two other Democratic senators running for president split their votes, with Connecticut Sen. Chris Dodd voting against it and Delaware Sen. Joseph Biden for it.
The bill passed 280-142 in the House and 80-14 in the Senate.
Eli Pariser, executive director of MoveOn.org, praised the bill's opponents.
"Senators Obama, Clinton and Dodd stood up and did the right thing -- voting down the president's war policy," Pariser said. "They're showing real leadership toward ending the war, and MoveOn's members are grateful."
Other Democratic contenders like John Edwards, a former senator, and New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson had urged Congress to reject the measure.
Clinton has angered anti-war Democrats with her refusal to apologize or repudiate her 2002 vote to authorize the war in Iraq, while Obama stresses his early opposition to the war.
While initially reluctant to back withdrawal timetables, Clinton and Obama voted for the earlier bill that included them.
Analysts said opposing the bill was a safe choice for Democrats given the public mood against the war. But the delay in making a decision by Obama and Clinton made them appear calculating, said Cal Jillson, a political analyst at Southern Methodist University in Texas.
"Neither Hillary nor Obama have been beacons of courage," he said. "People are saying 'Do you guys have the sense of self and the confidence to state a position and then defend it?' And both of them have been hiding in the bushes."
Clinton, of New York, said she supported the troops but opposed the bill because "it fails to compel the president to give our troops a new strategy in Iraq." Obama, of Illinois, said U.S. troops deserved more.
Biden, Senate Foreign Relations Committee chairman, said Democrats did not have the votes yet to overcome Bush's veto and the troops needed to be funded.

MKx series - Climatic Test Chambers
BINDER presents its new generation of MKx series climatic test chambers. Expanding the scope of natural environmental simulation, these novel climatic test chambers set new standards in research and development, quality assurance, and materials testing: They are totally reliable and incorporate the latest technical advances. In addition to their improved temperature dynamics of 5K/min. during heating and cooling, the main advantage of this redesigned series is its new humidification system, which can operate regardless of the available water quality. The system injects pressurized steam through a valve into the interior, where the steam rapidly distributes homogenously and superfine throughout the entire chamber. Since the water is used only once, the system operates under sterile conditions. Another important advantage: The system can operate regardless of the customer's water quality. The humidification system can be operated either with distilled water or with the BINDER PURE AQUA SERVICE, a water purification system that can be installed in the water feed. The MKx transforms every water quality into programmable climates with 10 to 98 % relative humidity at temperatures of 10 to 95 °C. Without humidity, the temperature range is -40 to 180 °C.
These improved dynamics allow compliance with the required standards for temperature and humidity cycles as well as the majority of relevant customer specifications for industries such as automotive manufacturing, aerospace, military applications, and materials testing laboratories. The chamber offers an optimal proportion of floor space to usable space. These ideal dimensions make it easy to access all areas of the chamber, so users can maximize capacity utilization for all common test specimen sizes and easily configure the unit. BINDER's patented APT.line™ produces a high airflow rate, and the Horizontal Airflow Design guarantees a natural simulation thanks to symmetrical airflow. The units deliver highly accurate temperature control up to maximum load conditions, and are equipped with programmable dew prevention for the test specimen. The rapid-response humidity module with pressurized steam humidification ensures reliable, consistent, and homogenous humidity values, even with frequent batch changes. For dehumidification, BINDER has equipped the MKx with large-surface, split evaporators. The product is enhanced by BINDER's proven high-performance program control system, extensive standard features, and many optional accessories.
The climatic test chambers will be available on the market with 115, 240, and 720 liter capacity.

State reaches record prices

Not since June 2008 has California's gas prices been nearly as much as they are presently, forcing Californians to pay the most expensive gas prices in U.S. history.
Contra Costa College students and other California residents are feeling the crunch in their wallets, but to not pay gas means to not drive. People are forced to pay the inflated rates, or try their hand at public transportation.
"Gas prices are crazy," CCC student Ashley Ruffin-Brown said. "I catch the bus. I'm planning on getting a car pretty soon. It will be convenient, but I know it will be difficult - times are tough."
Ruffin-Brown said the recent hike in gas prices is the cause for her re-thinking a car purchase.
For most of this year prices hovered around $4 per gallon. However, California's per gallon averages received a near 50 cent jump over the last week raising rates to record numbers of $4.66 for regular, $4.76 for midgrade and $4.86 for premium. "That's the reason I double thought it," Ruffin-Brown said. "People have to eat - this is crazy."
The state's website reports gas rates at an average of $4.58 per gallon for regular grade, $4.70 for midgrade and $4.79 for premium as of June 2008. Not until 2011 did rates, once again, reach at least $4 per gallon.
Sean Comey, a spokesperson for Chevron, did not provide specific reasons as to why gas prices have risen so drastically. He said currently there are "a variety of situations going on. This is an industry-wide issue."
Next to California stands Hawaii, with its $4.40, $4.49 and $4.58 prices per gallon, respectively, and following Hawaii is Alaska which regular to premium grade averages are all in the $4 range.
Only seven states have averages of four or more dollars with the Golden State leading the pack.
"I felt aggravated," CCC sociology major Kathy Harris said. "It's going up too often and too fast. It's a stressor. Pretty soon it will be better for me to take public transportation."
Harris commutes from Hayward to CCC - a 28-mile drive one-way, 56 miles per day. Because of the higher prices, Harris said, to her dismay she has adjusted the way she purchases gas, and has contemplated taking public transportation.
"I just pay the prices - not that I like to," she said.
Harris must now monitor her gas levels more closely than usual in order to relieve stress on her pocket book.
"It's too expensive to fill up from empty," she said. "I don't let my tank drop below half way."
Harris said she is planning on buying another vehicle to alleviate some of the strain at the pump.
"I'm working on getting a more economical car so I can use 87 (grade), that will help," she said.
She currently drives a v-6 Mercedes and only puts 91-grade (premium) gasoline into her vehicle.
On Oct. 1, the average price of gas per gallon was $4.17 for regular grade, $4.27 for mid grade and $4.38 for premium.
CCC student Brandon Brown said he travels to the college from Vallejo. Despite owning a four-cylinder vehicle, which he said is a "gas-saver," he is paying $20 more to fill up his tank now.
"Instead of filling up, I'm half-way filling up," he said. "I'm not really doing any extra driving around because I have to save a lot more money for gas. Some students I know have skipped an early class, if it's a short class (an hour or less), to save gas if they have to travel long distances."

Cambria Torquay with either Bellingham or New Quay
I love a bright white kitchen and am having old laminate replaced with Cambria Torquay on the outer perimeter and either Cambria Bellingham or New Quay on the white cabinet end center island. Problem is I have a small kitchen so I'm worried the combination of two patterns might be too busy. Would love to hear from anyone who has used a combination of Torquay with either Bellingham or New Quay and any helpful advice is welcome. Picture of old countertop attached.
We were going to use Bellingham until we googled the image. Liked it on the small sample, but it was too busy when viewed as a larger piece. I like the PP suggestion for more solid color.
With a small kitchen I would stick to one counter type.
Thanks to all for the helpful input so far. I work in Minneapolis directly across from Cambria's big showroom so I visit it often. It's just so confusing when I have local interior designers and Cambria showroom personnel tell me the combinations would be fine. I realize we all just expressing opinions, but a little voice in the back of my head tells me as much as I want to combine Torquay with one of the other waterstone patterns, I'm not certain if it's too much activity. That's why I'm hopeful someone out there has already combined them in their kitchen and can give me their opinion too.
I googled Bellingham and found this image of Bellingham and Torquay. I agree that it's too busy.
I have Torquay in my kitchen and pantry and like it, but don't love it. (I still kick myself for not choosing marble). Do admit so far it's been pretty bullet proof.
"Love the idea of a bright white kitchen" - what else are you planning? I don't think either of your current choices for the island will give you this. A white subway tile, with the Torquay perimeter and Torquay island, or if you want the contrast, Torquay perimeter and wood island, would be lovely and clean.
Thanks for the photo and advice oldbat2be. Would you further elaborate why you like vs. love your Torquay? Do you think the goal of a white clean look In my small kitchen would be greatly diminished if I forego the Torquay and instead install all Bellingham or all New Quay? I am not aiming for a sterile look but would want a fresh clean look and have definitely settled on using something from Cambria. Sorry to bother you with so many questions! I will also be installing an Elkay ss sink and pull down faucet, and replacing bar stools. The perimeter countertops will have a 4" cambria backsplash too.
A little off-topic, but since you've been in the official Cambria showroom perhaps you can answer a question that's been nagging me since Torquay came out. Don't laugh! How do they pronounce it? When we were in Sidney, Australia, we discovered lots of places named "something-Quay" all pronounced "key." Nothing in my end of the world (San Diego) is named "quay," so I have no idea how we pronounce it. Are Torquay, New Quay, etc. pronounced "key" or "kway"?
Ha! tour-key sure sounds like turkey, so I'll keep pronouncing it Tor-kay :)
Jackie54016 - Most people who come in to our home love the countertops and island and ask if they're marble. (Obviously not GW-ers!). My mixed feelings are due to mistakes on my part, things I'd do differently 'next time'.
1) Seams are getting dirty (no way to do an island our size without seams).
2) Not crazy about the simple edge I picked
3) The pattern is too monochrome / not enough movement in some places.
4) Our cabinets are a creamy white and Torquay looks better with a whiter white.
On the plus side, 95% of the time, I'm very happy with it and LOVE how reflective the surface is. I can do pretty much anything to it and with the exception of the seams, there has been no staining or etching.
Some slabs definitely have more 'movement'' than others. I'd insist on looking at them and waiting for the right slab(s)!
Here is our island:
Do you have an inspiration picture or pictures? Please post and solicit input on identifying the elements in it, which make it work. Then, we can answer which surface might be best.
I'm linking to my reveal, if you're interested in seeing more pictures. There have been more than a few threads on Torquay, so definitely google them too.
Here is a link that might be useful: More pictures of kitchen
Oldbat2be, thank you so much for sharing photos of your absolutely stunning kitchen. I find the movement within the Torquey very calming and serene, juxtaposed to your spectacularly sophisticated backsplash. Personally, I like your edge on your center island. Would you please reveal the edging you chose, and is your torquay 3 mm or thicker? Now I'm trying to weigh the advantages/disadvantages of the types of edging profiles available for the 3mm thick Cambria. I will also continue to search for additional inspirational photos in the meantime. As always, appreciative of your input.
