Netanyahu's First War
Despite his deserved reputation as an extremist and rejectionist of the first order, Israel's Binyamin Netanyahu has unlike most of his predecessors never initiated a war. He appears not to have planned one this time either.
The 1996 Tunnel Intifada, named after several days of clashes that followed Israel's festive opening of a tunnel in the heart of occupied East Jerusalem, may well have been Bibi's template for the current assault on the Gaza Strip. It after all transpired during his previous term in office and consists of three simple steps: 1. Launch outrageous provocation guaranteed to elicit armed response. 2. Use overwhelming firepower to kill Arabs and remind them who is boss. 3. Mobilise foreign parties to quickly restore calm on improved conditions.
In the current case, the Israeli air force on the evening of 14 November liquidated Ahmad al-Ja'bari, the de facto commander of the Hamas military wing. A week earlier, Israel shot dead thirteen-year-old Ahmad Abu Daqqa while he was playing soccer, the game he dreamed would one day make him a global star. Several Israeli soldiers were wounded when Palestinian militants retaliated with a bomb and then a missile fired at an APC, to which Israel responded by shelling first another soccer field and then a mourning tent, killing a further four civilian non-combatants and wounding dozens. When the inevitable Palestinian missile volleys headed towards Israel, injuring four, the efforts of Egypt's General Intelligence Directorate (GID), which typically brokers security agreements relating to the Gaza Strip, took on added urgency.
By 12 November, amidst demands by Israeli Home Front Minister Avi Dichter to "reformat" the Gaza Strip and calls by Transportation Minister Yisrael Katz to interdict the supply of all goods and services to Gaza's population of 1.5 million until they beg for air, the Egyptians had crafted a ceasefire proposal that was accepted by the Palestinians and – according to the Egyptians – Israel as well. With responsibility not only for fighting Israel but also enforcing agreements with it, al-Ja'bari began successfully implementing the ceasefire. Two days later he was blown up. Several hours and several dozen air raids later, Israel triumphantly announced that it had also successfully decommissioned long-range missile capabilities within the Gaza Strip.
Electoral considerations are likely to have played a role in Israeli decision-making, but hardly driven them. Both Netanyahu and Defence Minister Ehud Barak had been since March smarting from a previous Egyptian-mediated ceasefire, pursuant to which they informally agreed to not only stop attacking the Gaza Strip but also to discontinue assassinations. An Islamic Jihad leader I interviewed at the time opined this was a climb down too far for Israel's leaders, and that Israel was therefore certain to renew hostilities sooner rather than later.
Speaking of deterrence, Netanyahu had made a laughingstock of Israel on account of his threats against Iran; Hizbullah is if anything itching for another round; Egypt is gradually re-asserting independence from Israel; and the region is undergoing a transformation that all agree will not be to Israel's advantage. To top it all off, Mahmoud Abbas has been threatening to seek an upgrade of Palestine's status at the United Nations that could see the non-state filing cases at the International Criminal Court by year-end.
If pummeling Gaza yet again was intended to remind all concerned – not least the new Egypt – who makes the rules, it would also re-assure the Israeli electorate they need not fear the prospect of Obama punishing Israel for Netanyahu's embrace of the Romney/Adelson ticket. As expected, the Obama White House has ensured there is less daylight between America and Israel then ever passed between Romeo and Juliet, while Congress has been busy passing unanimous resolutions supporting Israel's right to self-defense in its colonial possessions. The positions of most European states have been only marginally less obscene.
Not only did Bibi and Barak kill the leader primarily responsible for restraining other militants from firing projectiles into Israel; they also made it impossible for his successors to accept a ceasefire before demonstrating they had successfully altered the rules of the game and extracting guarantees any new agreement will be respected.
While Hamas would like to frustrate Netanyahu's re-election as they ruined Shimon Peres's prospects after the 1996 assassination of Yahya Ayyash, launching missiles at Jerusalem and Tel Aviv is for the Islamist movement probably a sufficient achievement, particularly if going further may endanger its continued rule of the Gaza Strip. Yet by making a mockery of Bibi and Barak, the latter have now called up nearly eight times as many reservists as were deployed during Operation Cast Lead in 2008-2009.
Israeli hesitation about what may lie ahead, in combination with furious diplomacy directed at Washington by Egypt, Turkey, Qatar, and others may lead to a new ceasefire agreement in the coming days. If not, the primary issue for those committed to peace in the Middle East will be to ensure Israel is deprived of the impunity it enjoyed during and after Operation Cast Lead.

Advantium Speed Cook 120v or 240v?
We had decided on the Advantium 120v Speedcook oven, mostly on the recommendation of the saleslady at HH Gregg. I figured she'd prefer to sell us the more expensive unit, so I thought she was being honest by saying that the 120v would suffice. BUT, then I saw the comments on the following thread here on GW, and almost everyone says definitely get the 240v. Other than of course being more powerful, what specifically can you do with the 240v that you can't do with the 120v? Thanks so much for the help!
Cook 8x as fast as a conventional oven.
Its kinda like getting the Porsche Boxster instead of the Porsche 911 Turbo S Cabriolet.
Both will bet you from point A to point B. Eventually :)
The Boxster only cooks 4x as fast as a conventional oven.
If your time is not that valuable then why buy a speed oven?
In addition to what deeageaux said above, the 120v units may have more reliability problems than the 220v ones, as if they're trying to do too much with too little power.
[This was my impression from owner reports I saw while Google searching Advantium ovens a few months ago, not particularly from comments on GW. Maybe reported problems with the 120v ovens have been resolved now...]
The 240v Advantium actually has *four times* the wattage available to it (not twice as much), since it also runs off of a 30 amp circuit rather than 15 amp. As a result, not only does the 240v Advantium cook faster, but the food tastes better and has better texture when using the speed-cooking modes. In order to cook quickly, the 120v Advantium relies heavily on microwaves to heat quickly, with only a little power left over for the halogen lamp and ceramic heating element, so food cooked in it tastes more like slightly crispier microwaved food than anything that was baked in a conventional thermal oven.
deeageaux.....I know I'm going to miss my double ovens when we move. We're down-sizing to a much smaller house. So.....enter the Advantium. It gives me the microwave (off the counter) and a second oven. I cook a lot.....the thing is, I'm sure there will be a learning curve with the Advantium.....will have to see how I do with it.
chac_mool......I'll go to Google and snoop around for more comments. Thanks!
lee676......I guess the only way I can really comprehend what you're saying is to TASTE food prepared in both Advantiums and then compare. And I don't think that's going to happen. :-) I do have a friend who got one a year ago and loves it! For instance, would chicken prepared in a 120v. have a crispy skin? Or do you know?
Thank you all for your help! It's just such a different technology that I'm having a hard time getting my head around it.
The Advantium is seriously expensive to use as a microwave. And complicated.
People I know that have one use it as a speed oven and have a seperate MW to do simple stuff like reheat tea or coffee.
Using the Advantium as a workhorse MW will really shorten the lifespan of the magnetron. That is not an inexpensive repair.
If your attitude is "hey, I make deep six figures. I can get a spendy MW if I want" cool. Just be aware.
One of my relatives has two kitchens in his house with both 120V and 240V Advantiums so I have tasted the difference. Bascially, GE's claims that the 240V oven cooks up to 8x faster than a conventional oven, and the 120V cooks up to 4x as fast, are reasonably accurate (perhaps slightly optimistic), but what they don't make clear is that the 120V oven gets that speed by relying more on microwaves and less on the halogen lamp or ceramic heaters than the 240V oven, so their is a difference in the results. The 120V oven is just constrained by its feeble electrical power, and was introduced mainly so people could upgrade from a traditional microwave range hood (or just a plain hood) that already had a 120V feed without having to upgrade the electricals. The 240V Advantium I've used is the older model, the original one (just called "Advantium"; there was no 120V model yet). It didn't have a convection mode yet, the interior was smaller, and it didn't light up during microwave-only cooking unless you pressed a button. I think they've fixed all of these issues in the more recent 240v models, which are based on the more-recently-developed 120V Advantium design.
As for wearing out the magnetron, it shouldn't wear out any faster in an Advantium than in any other microwave oven. Perhaps it would wear out more slowly, since it isn't used as much. Advantiums are not the most powerful microwave ovens out there, but they work fine. In all Advantium installations I've done, it was the only microwave oven in the kitchen. I'd get a second microwave only if you often use the Advantium in speed-cook or convection-oven mode, in which case having a separate MW is useful.
Using the Advantium as a workhorse MW will really shorten the lifespan of the magnetron.
How often does this happen? I think my aunt did finally wear out her Radar Range after 35 years, but I don't know anyone else who has killed one? I know someone who had a problem with the door latch, but it was easily fixed. Do people really wear out the magnetron? How long does it take?
I've been trying to learn to use the speed oven part of my Advantium, but so far I haven't been happy with the results. Definite learning curve. But Fiddledd, the MW and oven part are pretty straightforward and don't take a lot of learning. Hint for the MW--if you press Express it turns on for 30 seconds. Pressing again adds 30 to the clock, but you can use the wheel to adjust the time up or down to suit yourself. That's the easiest way to get precise control. You can change the time that way once you've pressed start if you're using the menus as well.
Hi everybody. I'm finally getting back to check on your responses. Thanks! I'm beginning to wonder if I really want to spend so much money on an Advantium oven. Some people have suggested instead to just get a convection/microwave unit that can be used as a 2nd oven.
I mean, how fast do I need to cook, actually? But the thing that really scares me is how many people (even those who like the way their Advantiums cook) are really bummed out when they need service. You need a tech guy to come out even to change the light bulb, and repairs are really pricey.
Maybe I should start a new topic on the convection/microwave idea. Does anyone here know anything about them? GE makes one and Bosch has a nice looking one. I need the built-in model, not over-the-range.
deeageaux.....I had to laugh......even if I made 'deep six figures', I don't necessarily need to spend it on an Advantium. :-)

"Where's the beef?"
I do not deny that most of the claims made by this book are likely true. But the claims are repetitive both from other self-help books and within this single volume. Additionally, the claims are very basic - being optimistic will make you more successful, see the world not through rose colored glasses, but rather through rose *tinted* glasses. Many studies are fundamentally explained and many stories are told, but there is no depth in any of them.
If this is your first "self-help" book, then it might help you quite a bit, but if you have read anything on brain behavior, motivation, or psychology, I doubt you will get much from this book. I also feel that there is a fair amount of self-aggrandizement as he refers to his many talks given to Fortune 500 companies. It is interesting that he mentions that some people in his audience have asked, "Isn't this all a waste of time?" The author's response is that that person missed the point. Perhaps I did too, but I don't believe I did.

Powerful Quake Rocks Northern Japan; No Reported Damage
The Japanese Meteorological Agency says an extremely strong earthquake rattled the northern Japanese island of Hokkaido on Saturday. The magnitude was 6.4. The U.S. Geological Survey's report puts the tremor at a higher magnitude of 6.9; the epicenter was very deep, about 65 miles below ground, near the city of Obihiro. That's about 120 miles east of Hokkaido's largest city, Sapporo.
There are no reports of damage, and Japanese authorities did not announce a tsunami watch. The Associated Press says nearby nuclear power plants haven't reported any problems.

This hotel is outstanding. It's new and located in the upscale part of Krakow. The manager and his staff were incredibly helpful.

International consultant Savills, which until now has focused on broking big-ticket property transactions in Hong Kong as well as introducing overseas properties to Hong Kong buyers, is expanding its sales force to enter the mass housing market in the city.Wednesday, 24 April, 2013, 5:20am
The Independent Commission Against Corruption has issued anti-corruption guidelines for the highly competitive real estate industry which is expected to be even more cut-throat following measures to curb home prices.1 Apr 2013 - 5:06am 1 comment
Property agents across the city are closing their branches as a series of government property-cooling measures continues to bite. Investors and speculators have been forced out of the market following the introduction of the measures, leaving estate agents battling to stay afloat amid the resulting plunge in sales activity.21 Mar 2013 - 5:34am
How strange it is to find myself agreeing with those vampire squids from the Real Estate Developers Association. REDA members have made the most outlandish profits by misleading and distorting the true sizes of flats people have bought over the decades, while the government looked on.21 Mar 2013 - 2:50am 3 comments
Sammy Po Siu-ming, a director of real estate agency Midland Realty, said that after the strong sales performance in January he expected developers to become more aggressive with launches of new flats during the Lunar New Year holiday.6 Feb 2013 - 4:59am
Two sites for tender in Sha Tin and Sai Kung could net the government up to HK$2.4 billion, but developers have turned cautious following the introduction of the latest cooling measures, Ricacorp Properties says.2 Jan 2013 - 4:24am
Happy Holidays to all.
The new year is traditionally a time to take a look at how things have gone in the past 12 months and vow to start afresh.1 Jan 2013 - 5:36am
Hong Kong's property market is not benefiting from the Christmas spirit, with just a few new homes sold over the holiday period as the latest round of cooling measures bite.27 Dec 2012 - 1:59am
Hong Kong's real estate industry has grown rapidly in the past thanks to the city's famously non-interventionist economic approach.
But those heady days appear to be over with one of the biggest brakes on players' profits now government policy, according to Real Estate Developers Association (REDA) chairman Stewart Leung Chi-kin.21 Dec 2012 - 3:46am
Hong Kong home sales are mired in a slow and painful contraction and estate agents predict a recovery is not on the cards until after the Lunar New Year.
"The market is painfully slow," said Patrick Chow Moon-kit, head of research for Ricacorp Properties. "The situation will last for a while."10 Dec 2012 - 1:53pm
Home sales in Hong Kong dipped to close to the year's low last week, with just 107 transactions recorded in the secondary market in the major 50 housing estates in Hong Kong.
Data from Ricacorp Properties, which monitors weekly sales in the estates, showed deal numbers for November 19 to 25 were down 32 per cent from the 157 deals recorded during in the previous week.28 Nov 2012 - 3:13am
"An inch of time is an inch of gold" is the motto that drives Midland Realty director Sammy Po Siu-ming.31 Oct 2012 - 3:08am
Estate agents are being offered higher commissions by developers who want to speed up sales of their properties before prices slide further.
According to property agents, Henderson Land and New World Development on Saturday offered agents a 3 per cent commission for every flat sold after they met their sales quota of 28 flats for The Reach in Yuen Long - up from 2.5 per cent.31 Oct 2012 - 3:08am
Home sales in Hong Kong's secondary market fell 30 per cent week on week last week as purchasing power was absorbed by the primary housing sector - a trend that is expected to continue as new projects are launched in coming weeks.24 Oct 2012 - 2:57am
Secondary market sales of apartments costing HK$2 million or less fell 31 per cent month-on-month in April as potential buyers were deterred by a spike in prices, Midland Realty said.
There were 1,408 small flat transactions last month, down from 2,052 in March, which was the highest figure since last June.2 May 2012 - 12:00am

Trees, shrubs mix with colorful flowers in Front Yard Garden of the Week
A gentle evening breeze wafted the sweet aroma of a nearby mock orange shrub across Ireta and Bob Larson's front yard gardens last week. Nestled closely together in this picturesque small yard at 807 Third St. S.E. are fragrant shrub roses, huge hostas, abundant day lilies and lingering irises.

So people liked the Artisinal Baby naming blog article.
I thought they might like this one too:
Given that we are so used to 'euneek' names now on EB maybe the list (above) wont even surprise people but will give people just lovely suggestions to add to their lists! LOL
I will admit to a conversation I had with my parents when I was about 4ish
4 year old z-girl "I know what I will name my baby"
z-girl parent "what honey?"
4 year old z-girl "Diarrhea I think it sounds nice"
z-girl parents " ..... "
4 year old z-girl "It sounds like Dianna..."
z-girl parents "um, honey... it means poo"
4 year old z-girl " "

The cat was called Topsy as decided by parents.

I always thought Hemlock had promise for a boy, except for the whole poison symbolism thing.
I still secretly like Iridesce and Viridiflora for girls but that's less the meanings are horrible and more they're just long and eccentric and clunky.
I have issues with Caleb because of its meaning but that probably doesn't count as people use Caleb anyhow.
Celerie for a girl has been puzzling me recently - but it does sound pretty.
Melanoma is an oddly euphonious word.
Lilligant, Victreebel, and Roselia are all Pokemon and unsuitable to name little girls.

It's not an STD although it can cause vaginal infections - or infections anywhere else in the body.
Melena is a poor choice for a girl - black stools due to upper GI bleeding.

Jonathan Bernier did almost everything he usually does when he's the Toronto Maple Leafs' starting goaltender. He manned the home net at Air Canada Centre, was first off the ice and did not speak following the morning skate.
Signs pointed to Bernier returning from a five-game absence with a groin injury to face the St. Louis Blues, though he left the ice quickly and coach Randy Carlyle didn't clarify the Leafs' goaltending status Tuesday morning. Carlyle said he hadn't yet got an update from the team's medical staff but didn't rule out the possibility of Bernier starting.
"Everything's possible," Carlyle said.
Everything includes the Leafs potentially having three goalies on the ice for pre-game warm-ups. James Reimer is a no-brainer, but the plan is also for Drew MacIntyre to take part, just in case Bernier is not ready.
If Bernier is ready, MacIntyre figures to be sent back to the AHL's Toronto Marlies before the start of the game. Seeing Bernier go through the motions of a starter, MacIntyre seemed to sense "this cup of coffee" in the NHL was coming to an end soon.
But everything's possible because Bernier did leave the ice quickly after stretching near the blue-line. Usually, Toronto's starter takes shots from defencemen after that.
Leafs forward Jay McClement didn't know anything about Bernier's status when he stepped off the ice at Air Canada Centre. He does understand the 25-year-old's importance to this team.
"Bernie, if in fact he is back, I don't know, but he's been great for us all year there's no question," McClement said. "He's a calm presence back there. Obviously it'll be a boost for us. No disrespect to Reims, Reims has played great for the most part of the year, but we're going through a tough stretch right now and any jump or any bit of bump in our mood in here will help."
Uncertainty about Bernier, who had a setback Friday when he pushed himself too hard, likely kept MacIntyre from being sent down to the minors during the afternoon. MacIntyre has never started an NHL game.
If Reimer starts, it would be his sixth straight. He was pulled Sunday night after giving up three goals to the New Jersey Devils and replaced by MacIntyre, who stopped all 14 shots he faced.
Defenceman Paul Ranger took part in the morning skate, his first since suffering a neck injury last week. His status was not clear, though if he played the Leafs would most likely go back to 11 forwards and seven defencemen.
Ryan Miller is set to start in goal for the Blues, two days after backup Brian Elliott shut out the Pittsburgh Penguins. Miller is 31-15-3 with a 2.46 goals-against average and .922 save percentage in his career against the Leafs.

Colorado Gun Rights Billboards Showcase the Dangers of Disarmament
The heart of the discussion surrounding gun rights is the value either side places on an armed society. The anti-gun rights camp seems to see firearms as tools and their ownership a privilege. Those who advocate for restrictive gun laws don't see the value of a well-armed society. To them, more guns mean more people with the means to kill.
To gun rights advocates, however, the value of a well-armed society is fundamentally important to the preservation of liberty. A well-armed society helps to lessen the dangers posed by criminals who are not bound by a reverence for the law.
But most importantly, a well-armed society offers an underlying assurance to anyone who offers tyranny. A society bereft of arms is a society bereft of the means of defense. It's a porcupine without quills, a snake without teeth.
This world is a violent place and always has been. While we enjoy the joys of a more-civilized, modern world that largely recognizes egalitarian principles, the post-enlightenment era where man, and not King or emperor, is still a relatively new concept. And for much of the world, dictators and oligarchs are supreme. It would be foolish to believe that we no longer need the individual and collective means of domestic self-defense.
History supports this notion. Recently, two billboards in Greeley, Colorado, have created quite a stir.
The black and white billboards, which are placed beside busy roadways in Greeley, Colo., feature three men dressed in traditional Native American attire with the words: "Turn in your arms. The government will take care of: you." : The person in the front of the photo is holding a rifle.
Matt Wells, and accountant with Lamar Advertising in Denver, told the Associated Press that a group of local residents who wish to remain anonymous purchased the space.
"I think it's a little bit extreme, of course, but I think people are really worried about their gun rights and what liberties are going to be taken away," Wells told the Greeley Tribune.
Many have taken offense to the image of the American Indians, but the use of such imagery is entirely appropriate. While it would be too-simplistic to claim that the treatment of American Indians was from a lack of arms, the fact remains that the systematic disarming of American Indian tribes by the United State government enabled them to break promises and conquer.
We should never trust our government so much that we lay down our arms. How many times in the history of the world has the confiscation of weapons been succeeded by the trampling of rights? How many oppressed people have had the bravery to fight tyranny but were without the means to do it? How many American Indians died after relinquishing their arms in the mistaken belief that doing so would purchase peace?
The billboards in Colorado may have irked a few people who do not want to acknowledge the less-savory aspects of history, but the point remains that those who relinquish their arms relinquish their ability to defend themselves against foreign and domestic enemies.
As they say, "Those who do not learn from history…"

Nickelodeon CG Artists Overwhelmingly Ratify Union Contract
The new agreement includes portable health insurance, salary minimums and severance pay.
Newly organized computer graphics artists have ratified a contract negotiated between the Animation Guild, IATSE Local 839, and Nickelodeon Animation Studios, the union announced Friday, with a Yes vote from 90.1 percent of the bargaining unit's 61 employees who voted. (Nine employees out of the 70-member unit didn't vote.)
The primary issue was bridging from Nickelodeon's corporate insurance to the Motion Picture Industry health plan, to insure uninterrupted health coverage for covered employees who change employers. In addition, organizer Steve Kaplan told The Hollywood Reporter,the new contract achieves salary minimums and severance pay.
Animation Guild business representative Steve Hulett said in a statement, "Five years ago, the Animation Guild went to work organizing Nick's CG department. We had a number of setbacks, but last year, thanks to Guild organizer Steve Kaplan, communication with employees accelerated and support for the guild increased dramatically. Early in February, Nickelodeon agreed to a neutral card count and negotiations for a contract started soon thereafter.
PHOTOS: 26 of Summer's Most Anticipated Movies
"Talks went on for months. TAG had a (17-member) negotiating committee of unit employees, most in their early to mid-20s, and they were focused and tenacious through several long days of work. I doubt we could have reached agreement without them. Nick negotiators Bill Cole and Kevin Ellman were tough but flexible, and had a lot to do with the parties reaching agreement."
The guild has had a contract with Nickelodeon covering traditional animation artists since 2004. Talks on extending union contract protection to Nick's CG artists lasted from March to July of this year.
Kaplan said he viewed the contract as a victory related to the union's campaign to organize live-action visual-effects artists.
Final negotiations over the Memorandum of Agreement wrapped on July 10, with ratification by unit employees taking place at the studio's Burbank facility on Friday afternoon.

Day 7 - Exploring Chester
So, today I set out with the intention of exploring the city of Chester. Bit odd to be doing this on my final day instead of the first but oh well. Luckily for me, the centre of the city isn't too far from my hotel, and the whole area is nicely walkable. I spent a while looking through the Rows and at some of the interesting little shops dotted about the place, before stopping to warm up with a piece of bakewell tart and a hot chocolate.
Day 6 - Chester Zoo
Brr, a cold start today! Luckily it warmed up once the sun was out, otherwise it could have been a rather uncomfortable day! My first stop for the day was the train station to collect my tickets for the trip to Edinburgh on Sunday. Also stopped in at the Costa Coffee for a hot chocolate to warm up. The ticket desk at the station was also able to sell me a return bus ticket to the zoo. The bus stop was just across the road as well, which was nice as convenient (as was the ...

What to plant under holly trees?
A landscaping crew that came out to prune the plants that the landscaping company had planted, cut away to a height of six feet, all the lower branches of two large holly trees that they had not planted and that had provided screening between my property and the neighboring property for over 30 years. They had neither notified me first nor had gotten permission to trim the hollies.
I won't repeat what I said when I saw the result, but now I need to plant something (at the landscaping company's expense) that will serve as a screen, won't grow taller than 6 feet, will be deerproof, evergreen, and have some color in addition to green. The hollies are female.
The now bare area is about 14' x 14'. There are azaleas nearby.
What a horrible experience!
You don't say what exposure this area has; to me, 14 x 14 sounds like at least some of it gets very little sun.
I'm not a pro or an expert, but I'm going to suggest two shrubs. Both are supposed to be deer resistant to some extent (though from what I've read, deer aren't terribly consistent).
Dwarf Burford holly (Ilex cornuta Burfordii Nana) needs some sun; mine get a couple of hours at noon and are happy. Maximum height is supposed to be 5-6'. The problem is that it's only hardy to zone 7. If you're 6B and there's some shelter, they might be okay; you know your situation better than I do, and the local nursery would know how it does in your area. One of mine had significant die-back in the unusually bad spring 2007 freeze, but a couple of years later the only sign of it was some lopsidedness. Red berries follow insignificant white flowers. Beautiful shiny leaves have one spine at the end (not vicious).
Mountain laurel (Kalmia latifolia) is fine with shade. Dozens of modern cultivars are short enough for you. The very attractive pleated flowers range from white through pink to red and maroon; often buds are one color and flowers open to a different color. (If you don't dead-head, there may be fewer blooms every other year.) Your zone is no problem. The plant is toxic to some animals, and should be avoided if children are likely to chew on the landscaping.
If you Google "PlantFiles kalmia" (without quotation marks), you'll find a site that lists several dozen varieties of mountain laurel, with height and bloom color and sometimes photos. Or perhaps your landscaper can give you a list of the varieties stocked by his wholesaler.
There is part sun on the west side of the site and full sun on the south side. The soil is clayey and acidic. I'm pretty sure that the hollies are Nellie Stevens, and they have thrived in this climate, which included 36 or so inches of snow this winter, a snowball sized hailstorm and many 100+ degree days this summer.

I was only here for two nights but I loved it. So quiet and peaceful - I was able to do yoga and meditation to the sunset on the roof.
Very close to the town too.
Maybe in the hotter months or a longer stay I would recommend somewhere with a swimming pool to relax and cool off.
Down some little alley ways, I wouldn't be comfortable as a female solo traveller but with friends/family it is fine.
