We need leaders with ICE in their veins
By Col. David Miller, 21st Operations Group
/ Published July 10, 2013
PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. (AFNS) --
As I was preparing to take command of the 21st Operations Group, one of my former Airmen called me to see if my leadership expectations had changed. He was preparing his own leadership expectations briefing for his first commander's call, and he wanted to know if I still had a one-word expectation for my officers and NCOs -- "Lead!"
I responded I still had a one word expectation for myself and the leaders I worked with, however, I went on to explain that how they lead is an indispensable part of the conversation. Why? It is our job as leaders to create and sustain an environment for our people to succeed professionally and personally. Moreover, in such a dynamic security and fiscal environment, and at a time when we continue to expect more and more from our Airmen, how we act is just as important as what we do.
Now, I would not presume to make judgments or prescriptions about the environment of every unit ... but I do believe, as our leaders of the past did, that leadership is a "team sport" and that a dialogue about leadership expectations is a healthy thing for any organization, particularly as we build and shape the next generation of officers and NCOs.
I suspect many of you know the old maxim, "The pace of the pack is set by the leader." And, no doubt throughout your careers you have seen this metaphor in action in the form of a particular NCO, commander or supervisor. Reflecting on the question above, however, necessitates a more sophisticated reading of this phrase. Not only does the leader set the pace of the pack, he is responsible for determining the pack's direction, membership, care and feeding, and rest stops along the way. In short, the leader must be guided by certain principles that make up his or her core leadership philosophy.
Throughout my career I have many valuable leadership traits, but I have witnessed three that rise above the rest as fundamental to effective leadership in the 21st Century Air Force: Integrity, competence and empathy.
Integrity as a fundamental leadership trait should be no surprise to Airmen as it is one of our core values. It speaks to our character, our ability to see the right in any situation, and our Airmen need to see it manifest in our decision making. They don't expect us to shy away from the hard tasks, or make decisions based on some misplaced sense of privilege or pride.
On the contrary, they expect their leaders to display a moral excellence, set the highest standards, gather the necessary information and embrace the tough decisions mindful of the consequences. Why? Because that's what we pay leaders to do! In short, decisions that are based on "math" and not "manhood," and centered on a foundation of moral excellence will always stand up to the scrutiny of the finest Airmen in the world.
The next fundamental trait our Airmen demand of our leaders is competence. Our Airmen have every right to expect their leaders to be masters of their craft. Now, I come from an operations background, and in our community our Airmen expect our leaders to have a credibility that is derived from a career of experience in operations. This expectation is no different than the expectation that our firemen have of a fire chief or a maintainer has of his supervisor. The bottom line is that competence is based on a legacy of learning, enhances your credibility and allows you as a leader to make rapid, informed decisions under pressure. It is competence, shaped by experience, that will allow a leader to identify problems and call turns in the road before issues become crises -- our Airmen deserve no less.
Last, and certainly not least, is empathy. I think of empathy as the ability to put yourself in someone else's shoes and view the world as they see it. It is a leadership trait that is extremely difficult to master, but it is also incredibly important for a leader to make the effort every day. How else is he or she is going to be able to understand and appreciate what our Airmen are going through? It is empathy that will inform a supervisor how to motivate a particular individual, and it is empathy that will let a leader know when an individual needs a break or has taken on too much.
In today's environment, we are constantly asking our Airmen to do more with less, and they continue to surprise me each and every day with how often they raise their hand and get after it no matter how difficult the challenge. Our Airmen are able to do this because they are highly capable and motivated, and it is here where empathy is most critical for a leader in that it allows him or her to distinguish enthusiasm from capability. In sum, a 21st Century Airman requires a leader who can identify with him and see the world through his eyes.
There are many traits that we value in our leaders, and our followers for that matter, and I have picked three in order to promote discussion and debate. For your work center or functional area, the most critical traits may be slightly different. The key is that, as we build, lead and teach the next generation of Airmen, they learn the importance of integrity, competence and empathy.
We need leaders with ICE in their veins to ensure we remain the most lethal, professional and combat-relevant Air Force on the planet ... our Airmen deserve no less!

My husband has been on 50mg Sutent since March of 2008. In early September of 2010 he started to experience side affects after he ended his treatment cycle. For 2-3 days he will vomit all day if he eats anything at all - even water, and then he is terrible dizzy and unable to walk with out balance assitance for up to 4 days. Our doctor dismissed the idea to see an inner ear doctor but gave no additional guidance. Any ideas or remedies?

mmmmmm!These are awesome.I love the lemon loaf from Starbucks and these are just as good.They thaw quickly from the freezer and are great to grab on the go.Great tangy taste and lots of lemony goodness!My husband and I love Chinese food and have tried several kinds of eggrolls, these are some of the best.They definitely taste better in the oven (because they crisp up) vs.the microwave, but either way they make a good addition to a meal. quick and easy, what could be better? great flavor...i really love this toast!Yes, indeed. After 8 years of making a variety of breakfast sandwiches for Monday, Wednesday, and Friday breakfast, I wanted something with less fat and additives than sausage.My latest (and greatest!) breakfast sandwich is a toasted, whole-grain English muffin with an egg patty, slice of Schwan's American cheese, and steak burger.Using only a toaster and microwave, breakfast is ready in 3-4 minutes, and the only dishes needed are a sandwich plate and (perhaps) a juice glass.This sandwich is about 7 ounces.

I purchased this fridge about two months ago. First problem from the time it was installed, the doors on top we're very uneven. It took two trips to get it adjusted. A million finger smudges later, spacers were installed. Still not 100% even. Then my freezer went thru the defrost cycle. I called out a warranty repair, The repair guy told me the issue is one of 4 issues this model has and nothing he can do. It will happen. So I spent a lot of $$ on this! Two weeks later, ice forms again. This time it's not unthawing. It's a loud fridge, makes noises all day. I wouldn't buy this fridge! My frozen food boxes are super soft. Very disapoionted. Freezer drawers are hard to open since the ice freezes them shut.

good storage, but loud
By JOPIE

Comments about Whirlpool Stainless Bottom Freezer Refrigerator:
I have had my new refrigerator for about a month now. I love all of the storage that it has. The one thing that I don't like is the noise level. As my husband says it sounds like a diesel truck starting up sometimes. We will have to call and see if it needs to be serviced. Whirlpool needs to work on the noise level of their appliances.

Comment on this review
By Kyle 71
I bought this a little over a month ago to replace a Maytag of the same style. After the compressor went out on it after only 7 yrs. I'm hoping that doesn't happen this time. Otherwise me and my wife are happy with the whirlpool. Only thing I have a problem with it is the icemaker. It takes too long to replenish it's supply and doesn't make enough. Maybe it's just that the cubes are too small. Other than that I would recommend this model.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Working great so far
By Rajab

I bought this 2 weeks back. Happy so far. We like the 3 draw Bottom freezer . It helps to access all stored frozen food easy.
Awesome space!
By KSBain
from Undisclosed
I bought this refrigerator 2 weeks ago all my friends have refrigerator envy. It's a great product. I love the extra drawer to put my kids frequently used yogurt bread and lunch meat. It has great spaces and I feel like I have so much more room in the exact same amount of space my old refrigerator took up.
Great features
By Suzzan1
Lots of room and very quite. Like pull out drawer and drawers in freezer.
Should Have Bought This Years Ago
By SrqJim
from Sarasota, FL, United States
I recently bought this refrigerator to replace my 18 year old ailing one. Wow, it's so nice - I should have bought this years ago. I love the different compartments and the way I can arrange my food so that nothing gets lost or pushed to the back. It's working perfectly and I absolutely know that I"m going to enjoy using it!
Black Ice
By Kitchen in Black Ice
from Chicago, IL, United States
This was the best possible choice for my family. I have three six foot plus guys in my house with roaring appetites. This large capacity fridge keeps them full. The ice maker maintains a plenteous supply of ice cubes or crushed ice when needed. The drawers are large enough for a variety of items in varying sizes. I love the ability to control the internal temperature in the middle drawer.
Awesome Fridge
By NUMBER1REDHEAD
from Berne, IN, United States
I absolutely love this fridge! Everbody that comes to my house loves this fridge! Its so big and shiny. It has so much space. I love having the ability to rearrange the shelves to a configuration that actually fits my different needs. The middle drawer is awesome. I store all my deli items in it and the partitions make it easy to keep it neat and organized. I would definitely buy this product again in the future.
Almost perfect
By Delars
from Dublin, OH, United States
I've had this for about a month now, the features are generally good, with a few exceptions. It could use more flexibility for tall items, and I find that I purchase products base in height at times. The shelves could be easier to adjust- the left and right shelves block each other when side by side. The drawers and separators work well, although the upper freezer drawers could be easier to grasp when closed. The lighting is very good, as does the ice/ water dispenser. You need to hold the glass at the top of the paddle to make it operate, which may seem like a minus, but actually prevents spillage. Overall fairly quiet, except during ice cycles. Overall very happy with it so far.

Black Ice Love
By Stanley5000

We have had this refrigerator for about three weeks. So far, we have been very happy. There was an issue with the freezer door not closing correctly, but Whirlpool customer service took care of sending out a technician. The issue was resolved within one day. It is refreshing to have after purchase support that follows through with what is advertised.

polymeric sand to fill in concrete expansion joints
Has anyone done this? How does it look? What is the longevity? Can it be sealed along with the concrete? I know I could use caulking, but I don't think that looks very good. The application is for our large stamped concrete patio, but I'm tempted to do the driveway also.
The ants/anthills are ridiculous this year and I'm tired of battling them. I'd like to take care of this problem once and for all. (Ok, once for the year at least!).
Expansion joints should have some sort of expansive material to allow for movement between the pieces of concrete. Your best bet is use some backer rod and silicone joint sealant. The backer rods purpose is just to save money on sealant. The sealant will actually serve adhere to the concrete and expand and contract with the slabs. The sealant should keep moisture and ants/dirt out of the joint.
These control joints should not be effected by putting the polymeric sand in them. Their sole purpose is to create a weakened plane in the concrete to control the cracking. I have never seen the polymeric sand used in this manner. Maybe someone else will chime in. I would think silicone or some other crack sealant would be more appropriate. Have you checked whats available at the local home improvement store?

When we first start to consider the ramifications of the global recession and financial crisis, we attempt to look beyond ourselves.
As employees, we can feel it at times; we empathize with shopkeepers but that is no longer the limitation of the world we live in. Facebook, one of the largest and most valuable companies on earth is tanking; at least that is one way to look at the most anticipated IPO in history being an enormous flunk.
Nevertheless, when we stop to consider these enormous giants like Microsoft, it can sometimes skip our minds that recession (and unfortunate decisions) can also have a negative impact. For the first time in 26 years, Microsoft has reported a substantial loss. Back in 2007, Microsoft made a large purchase, what was considered to be the largest purchase for its time and now it has come back to haunt it.
Microsoft's purchase of online ad service aQuantive was their ambitious icon, full of hopes to surpass Google's online presence. Much to the disadvantage of Microsoft, they have failed to do so.
Its failure to compete with Google's advertising revenue has been described more than once as a miserable let down, and what's more; Microsoft had invested a lot of money in the deal. A year ago, Microsoft recorded earnings of $5.9 billion and although their online ad business isn't but a spec of their annual revenue, they still managed to book a $492 million loss in their fourth quarter.
To make matters worse, their online ad division continued to post losses, hitting a whopping total of more than $9 billion since the purchase.
Their next icon of hopeful ambition is their upcoming release of Windows 8 on October 26. Although the buzz circulating this release is big (as a Microsoft related buzz is expected to be), analysts don't seem to share an opinion that it is unusually large. Microsoft is looking at this release as a reverse of misfortune and it is considered to be their most extreme redesign of its operating system since 1995.
Since the company went public on the stock market in 1986, they have not reported a single loss so what some might call as a hindrance, could also be seen as the end of an era for the software giant.

Ballet has formal positions and its movements are very precise. It began in the European courts of the 16 th and 17th centuries. The French royalty helped develop the art form, which is why ballet words are in French. In 1661, King Louis XIV founded the Academie Royal de Danse (Royal Academy of Dance). The director, Pierre Beauchamp, recorded the steps and positions, including the five positions of the feet, which form the basis of today "s technique. Two very famous ballet choreographers are the late George Balanchine who started the New York City Ballet and Arthur Mitchell who started the Dance Theatre of Harlem. MODERN DANCE A style of dance started in America less than 100 years ago, which emphasizes freedom of expression. The pioneers of modern dance developed styles of dance, which expressed their own personal style and allowed them to communicate their own ideas and feelings. Two important American modern dancers were the late Martha Graham and the late Alvin Ailey. TAP DANCE An American art form, which blends African rhythms with Irish jig dancing. Tap dance uses the feet to execute sounds, creating music o the floor. Tap dancing began in America in the early 1800"s with "Master Juba" billed as King of all Dancers. Bill "Bojangles" Robinson made tap dance famous with his intricate rhythms on the balls of the feet and his performances in the Shirley Temple movies. Although absent from mainstream dance for awhile, tap is again popular due to dancers such as Gregory Hines and Savion Glover who choreographed and starred in the Broadway hit, "Bring in 'da Noise, Bring in 'da Funk". JAZZ DANCE An American born style of dance, which blends influences of many different cultures. Its movements are clean, cool and very energetic. Jazz dance is often associated with musicals, where it can be used to express contemporary urban themes. AFRICAN DANCE African dance is a part of African everyday lives. It is done to music, usually drumming to convey a certain message, meaning and/or purpose. Through dance, Africans show respect for their ancestor, the forces of nature, those who have passed on, work, family and community. Body part isolations, flexed feet, strong rhythms and a connection to the earth characterize African dance. 32 BASIC BALLET TERMINOLOGY Allegro Quick movements Arabesque A poses on one leg with the other leg extended behind and the body forming a graceful curve Attitude A pose on one leg with the other leg lifted either backward or forward and bent at the knee Barre The handrail used by dancers to help them balance while exercising Battement A beating action of the working leg when extended or bent.

Rond de Jambe A circular movement of the leg Sauté Jump Spotting A movement of the head when performing turns to keep the dancer from getting dizzy Tendu Stretched foot Turn out To rotate the thighs, knees and toes away from each other, from the hip socket 34 FIVE POSITIONS OF THE FEET AND ARMS Most ballet movements begin and end in one of the five feet and arm positions. It is important for dancers to understand the five positions, of both the feet and arms and be able to perform them with confidence. FEET POSITIONS First position Stand with your heels touching (kissing) and your legs rotated out from the hip socket Second position Place your feet in the same line as first position but separated about shoulder"s width apart Third position Cross one foot halfway in front of the other so that the heel of one foot touches the middle of the other Fourth position Place one foot exactly in front of the other with a space between them Fifth position Stand with your feel fully crossed and turned out ARM POSITIONS First position Hold your arms in front of you in an oval shape. Curve your fingers so that your hand continues the shape of your arm Second position Open your arms wide, keeping them slightly rounded. Be careful not to open past your shoulders. Third position Take one arm up and hold it in a graceful curve over your head. Your other arm remains out to the side as in second position. Fourth position Curve one arm in front of your while keeping the other arm curved over your head. Fifth position Take both arms overhead, curved in an oval shape. The fingers should be slightly in front of your head. 35 POSITIONS OF THE BODY There are eight basic positions of the body the dancer uses to show off the lines of the body. These eight positions are the basis from which many ballet movements come from. They are designed so the audience will see a clear outline of the body in whatever direction you are facing. For students in K-8 we will focus on four of these eight positions; Crosié, Ecarté, Effacé and En Face. (Crosié, Ecarté and Effacé will all be described in the devant/in front position) Croisé Crossed – Facing a downstage corner, stretch the leg nearer the audience in front of you. Hold your upstate arm high and your other arm to the side. Look out to the audience and incline the top of your body very slightly back. Ecarté Seperated - Facing a downstage corner, extend the leg nearest the audience to second position. Hold your downstage arm up and your other arm to the side. Keep your hips level and incline your body slightly away from the audience. Effacé Open or shaded – Facing a downstage corner, extend the leg farthest from the audience in front of you. Hold your downstage arm high in 5th position and your other arm extended to the side in 2nd position. Lean your body slightly back, with your top arm gently framing your face. En Face Facing front 36 STAGE DIRECTIONS Stage directions are always from the performers perspective facing the audience UPSTAGE RIGHT UPSTAGE CENTER UPSTAGE LEFT CENTER STAGE RIGHT CENTER STAGE CENTER STAGE LEFT DOWNSTAGE RIGHT DOWNSTAGE CENTER DOWNSTAGE LEFT AUDIENCE 37 ELEMENTS OF DANCE SPACE TIME ENERGY Personal space – The space your Tempo – how fast or slow the Sharp own body takes up dance is.

just admitted he has not covered yet.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
I was just about to post the same thing. At some point the sharks (read other hedge funds) will see this and begin to really push this up. He really is not playing this smartly. He had a bundle in the bank last January and now he is paying margin calls (they are relatively small for him, but not fun never the less).
I was worried he had covered some of his losses. I feel better now.
Maybe he was trying to knock it down a bit so he could start covering
Thats not working anymore. People are starting to look at Ackmans record which isn't even that good. He doesn't beat the S&P 500. He's a poster boy for dumb money overhyped hedge funds. He might of gotten away with this if it weren't for Icahn. Too bad for him.

Brazil league match halted by violence
A Brazilian league soccer match was stopped by fan violence in the stands, police fired rubber bullets to contain the crowd and an injured man was airlifted by helicopter to a hospital on Sunday.
Want more soccer news? You're in luck. Review the latest FOX Soccer Daily clips here.
A doctor says two other fans were hospitalized in serious condition and one was treated for a minor injury at the stadium in the southern city of Joinville.
Supporters from Atletico Paranaense and Vasco da Gama fought before police intervened. Groups of fans punched and kicked each other several times and police fired rubber bullets.
Fan violence has been rampant in Brazil this year, raising concerns ahead of the World Cup.
Atletico Paranaense is trying to secure a spot in next year's Copa Libertadores and Vasco da Gama, a four-time Brazilian champion, is trying to avoid relegation. The match restarted after a delay of 1 hour and 10 minutes.
''This is deplorable,'' said Vasco da Gama coach Adilson Batista. ''It's sad to see images like these just before the World Cup in our country. I'm shocked, this is not sport.''
Television images showed players yelling at the fans and telling them to calm down. Some players put their hands on their heads as they watched the fight. A few fans tried to leave the stands to find safety, including a young woman. A ball girl was shown crying.
''We tried to tell the fans to stop because things would only get worse. We looked at the stands and there were no cops. There was nobody there to stop the fighting,'' said Atletico Paranaense defender Luiz Alberto, who was shown crying during the altercation. ''I'm playing for 20 years and I've never seen anything like this in person. We will have a World Cup in our country and we know these images will be shown everywhere.''
One Atletico Paranaense supporter was caught in the middle of several Vasco da Gama fans and was hit several times. A Vasco supporter also became separated from his group and attacked by rivals.
If Brazil doesn't want to host the 2014 World Cup, why force them? FOX Soccer's Jamie Trecker explains.
''This is very sad, I've never seen anything like this,'' Atletico Paranaense midfielder Everton said. ''One of the fans was alone on the ground and he was being hit for about 10 minutes without anybody doing anything. They wouldn't stop hitting him.''
Police were not in the stands when the fighting began behind one of the goals in the stadium. A police official said about 80 private security guards were on hand to make sure the fan groups remained separated.
''It's a private event, so the security was being provided by a security company hired by Atletico Paranaense,'' officer Adilson Moreira said.
The referee stopped the match with Atletico Paranaense leading 1-0 about 15 minutes into the game. After the fighting was over, a police helicopter landed near one of the goals to airlift the most seriously injured fan to a hospital.
''Three fans were in serious condition, but two of them were conscious,'' doctor Jose Eduardo Dias told local reporters.

On a recent long walk with Joe I stopped (much to his dismay) while under a Catalpa tree to admire looking up through the branches that are still holding on to the extra long seed pods making for terrific winter interest. This tree has wonderful large long blooming white flowers and great foliage but I immediately put the thought of purchasing this beauty out of my mind, as I dont have room in my landscape. Happily I was reading today that the Catalpa can be stooled (cut down to the ground) each winter to be kept as a smaller specimen. This lead me to wonder what other trees or large shrubs lend them selves to this process? Do you think I will be getting flowers? Has anyone tried this with Cotinus Coggygria?
I occasionally cut my Cotinus to the ground, and sacrifice that year's flowers in the hopes of getting more compact plants without the long pinwheels that normal pruning produces. For the particular variety that I have, it actually just makes them smaller but no more graceful, and I never like the results well enough to repeat the process the next year, so I do this about every 5 years or so.
Also, I admit that I still have a single volunteer Paulownia (Princess Tree) that I cut to the ground each year, specifically to prevent flowering (and seed production) and to produce large dramatic leaves.
In general, I really like to let plants grow into whatever they intend to be. I can admire topiaries and beech hedges that are limbed up and cut into formal floating squares, but I don't really want them in my own garden.
KT - I'll be an enabler . . .
Avant Gardens in North Dartmouth, MA sells a golden catalpal. They specifically mention in their online catalog that it is often stooled. From my reading, it becomes greener in summer, but the thought of those huge golden leaves in the spring, followed by the same large presence, but in a cooler green in summer . . . just yummy!
I have done mail order business with these folks and have been extemely pleased with their products, both woody and herbaceous.
An added thought - in general, spring blooming plants, if pruned late in the season won't bloom, so I assume that you wouldn't get blooms and seed pods from your catalpa. (but would you need them with that foliage?)
Thanks Babs,
Now that I realize I would be pruning off the flowers/beans I am not certain I want to sacrifice some of my limited space, although the thought of large heart shaped yellow leaves is appealing. I will be joining dtd for the pruning work shop at Avant Gardens so the temptation to bring one home will be great. Any chance you might leave the granite state for the work shop?
Unfortunately, KT, right now pressures of work and classes are keeping me busy enough so that I honestly could not justify the 5 hour round trip driving for a pruning workshop, even if I would also have the pleasure of meeting both you and DTD in person as well as seeing one of my favorite nurseries. One of these days I need to give a whole weekend to nurseries in that area, but it will have to wait until after Memorial Day when life will hopefully slow down some.
I had a Catalpa out front for years. It's gone now, but here is how I handled it and it wasn't too much work. Every year after flowering, I'd cut back half the branches (these would be the previous season's which had just flowered) and alternate every year so there was always a 50/50 mix of last year's and this year's growth. What I ended up with were half new growth each year which was left untouched to bloom the next season, and I would usually get flower clusters, which up close are like orchids. The other half which was finished blooming was cut back to the stump, and so on. Kept the tree at essentially eye level, so you could appreciate the flowers, and still not too tall for easy cutting. The wood is very soft, especially on wood only two seasons old, so pruning it was pretty quick. This method also gave me pretty large leaves all the time. So cutting alternate branches (evenly distributed in the crown of the tree of course!) gave me what I wanted for years. The new construction out front required removal of the tree however.
Babs aka GW enabler,
I would have responded to thank you faster but honestly I have become obsessed with the FF web site, now that I know I want to order one tree from the west coast I have convinced myself that I need to order multiple plants to justify the shipping. Presently I have eight yes that is right eight magnolia trees that I feel compelled to order along with four ilex, as well as a number of new to me zone 7 intros from New Zealand. I will shamefully post my final order within the next day or two and of course blame my lack of control squarely on your shoulders.
What can I say other than brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, I love the idea of keeping one as a small garden tree so much I am now going to order two. One to add balance to an area that Has a Magnolia macrophylia and one to keep small in my front entry garden. Thanks
Kt, you're incorrigible. I can't wait to see the list.
Forestfarm is a great source for trees. They grow and ship them really well. The only down side is that it's REALLY EASY to order more than you can fit into your yard, because they're small and inexpensive (comparatively). If you don't believe me, just ask the Quercus phellos, Franklinia alatamaha, Ginkgo biloba, Lagerstroemia indica, Hammamelis, Heptacodium miconioides, and varrious magnolias that I've somehow crammed into my tiny yard. I can't blame them for the Stewartia collection, but otherwise, they're totally guilty. (Well, maybe I'm just a tiny bit to blame.)
Reasons for feeling guilt free about over planting.
1. It is all NHBabs fault.
2. I am good freinds with my tree guy and I haven't seen him in a while.
3. Half of them will likely die or be shovel pruned some time in the next few years.
4. A majority of the trees on my property are Pitch Pine which I was told had aged out twenty five years ago.
5. I now have two cats and worry that I might become known as the crazy cat lady rather than the crazy plant lady
6. I need to stimulate the economy to save my retirement (which is more sane than some of the economic theories out there).
7. It is all NHbabs fault
Well the items in my shopping cart started to grow and take on a life of their own so I decided to print the list and now turn to Dirr and any one here on GW to help me eliminate all but a few.
I was excited to discover and wonder if anyone has experience with;

Are you actually going to try all of the things in your list? Good for you! As you probably know by now, I love to try the unusual things, the ones that aren't normally grown in New England. I'd be interested to know if you have success with the Olive, Bottlebrush and Gardenia. I have Gardenia "Frostproof" which has gone through two winters, and despite being moved twice, it's doing OK. Had one bloom this spring. I saw Photinia all over the place out in Oregon last May and it's quite a sight. That's also where I saw the Lithodora that I had to have. I planted one last year and this spring it was spectacular! That mound of deep blue flowers on the deep green foliage can't be beat for color! I don't know what "size 1" for the Albizzia julibrissin "Summer Chocolate" actually is, but I have seen this tree at Brigg's Nursery in Attleboro. They had good size ones, maybe 8-10 feet. Good luck with whatever you try. I know I'm glad that I gave my camellias a chance. I love broadleaf evergreens, and these do well and add color in fall ("Snow Flurry" - Oct-Dec) and a couple of the "April" series in spring.
I'll take the blame for the catalpas and for introducing you to FF (though I didn't realize you hadn't found them) . . . and perhaps help you trim a couple of inappropriate items from your list. (I probably shouldn't say this, but I always get lost in the dogwood section of FF's website. Last time I looked they had some lovely varieties.)
Some items you might want to reconsider, one that spreads invasively by seed and the other that spreads by suckering:
Koelreuteria paniculata September - Goldenrain Tree: About Goldenrain tree, Wikipedia notes, "In some areas, notably the eastern United States and particularly in Florida, it is considered an invasive species." So I'd check out how it does with the milder weather of the Cape and Islands to see if it is an issue around you.
And this is what the PCA Alien Plant Working Group has to say about black locusts in general (among other cautionary comments): "Black locust reproduces vigorously by root suckering and stump sprouting to form groves (or clones) of trees interconnected by a common fibrous root system. Physical damage to roots and stems increases suckering and sprouting, making control difficult. Black locust clones easily spread in quality and restorable natural areas." Do you really want this in your yard? (especially give that they go on to say that herbicides are really the only way to kill it off and it may sprout for several years after.) (http://www.nps.gov/plants/ALIEN/fact/rops1.htm)
I do have Halesia tetraptera 'Wedding Bells'. It's borderline hardy here, so suffers dieback, but it makes a nice large shrub for me and although the blooming is relatively short, it is impressive. I also really like the seed pods - just a fun and unusual shape. Foliage is a nice green and stays healthy. I would expect it would be more of a small tree for you.
LOL, No I am not going to buy everything on this wish list but I sure would like to. I saw Photinia all over the place out in Oregon last May and it's quite a sight I am not sure what the heck I am getting myself into with Photinia hybrid as Dirr has some unflattering things to say about P serrulata, P xfraseri, P. glabra, and P villosa, so who knows. The trouble I am discovering with lusting after plants that are rare in my neck of the woods is they are more often than not rare for a reason and Dirrs frank descriptions although disappointing are beginning to bring me back down to earth.
Gardenia "Frostproof" which has gone through two winters, and despite being moved twice, it's doing OK. Now that is a plant I can lust over!! It took me a while but I finally found the west side of my house offers more protection for camellias and I am planning on renovating the landscape in that area this fall. Do you have any recommendations?
Yes I had heard of and ordered from FF in the past but stopped a couple of years ago when the postage cost more than the plant. But what can I say some women just can resist the lure of Jimmy Choos any will impulsively drop a bundle on their footwear. Myself, I had an extreme craving for Catalpa bignonioides Aurea - Golden-lvd. Catalpa that nothing but Dirrs dislike for the tree was going to squelch. Hmmmm�Now I don�t know what to believe. What do you think Dirr means when he uses the adjective coarseness? Is that the scientific way of saying butt ugly?
Thanks for the heads up about the Laburnum watereri Sunspire - Goldenchain Tree being in the Fabaceae family along with black locust this definitely warrants further investigation. Wikipedias reference to Koelreuteria paniculata September - Goldenrain Tree possibly being invasive was another surprise.

Forest Farm Catalogue description
Catalpa erubescens Purpurea - Purple-leaf Catalpa LANDSCAPE VALUE: Limited value in the residential landscape because of coarseness; has place in difficult areas but the use of this and the following species should be tempered.

Koelreuteria paniculata September - Goldenrain Tree
LANDSCAPE VALUE: Excellent and unrivaled for late yellow flowers; one of the very few yellow flowering trees; excellent as a small lawn tree; for shading a patio; suggested as a street tree although supposedly somewhat weak wooded; very lovely to look upon on a hot July day; choice specimen tree where space is limited; shows tremendous adaptability to extremes of soil.

It is popularly grown as an ornamental tree in temperate regions all across the world because of the aesthetic appeal of its flowers, leaves and seed pods. Several cultivars have been selected for garden planting, including 'Fastigiata' with a narrow crown, and 'September Gold', flowering in late summer.
The seeds are edible when roasted, but not commonly consumed.
In some areas, notably the eastern United States and particularly in Florida, it is considered an invasive species.

LOL, yes, idabean, an intervention sounds like just the thing.
Meanwhile, when Dirr says "Limited value in the residential landscape because of coarseness" IMHO he just means that catalpas have to be sited carefully, because they have so much ... presence. He's not talking about Kt's garden, and he doesn't know that she'll find just the right spot for one or three of these.
I agree with DtD that Dirr's coarseness refers to the large leaves, the texture of the branches and twigs - literal coarseness rather than ugly. I personally like its appearance quite a lot and in the right spot it's majestic to my eye. However, as a specimen tree in the center of a suburban lawn with little else planted in the yard, it is rather homely, unlike a solitary oak or sugar maple or birch.
and as a side note, Dirr has clear biases . . . Don't get me wrong, he is one of my favorite authors. I love his opinions and his writing style is wonderful and often humorous, but I don't always agree with his opinions. I think that he often is thinking about what will work with a typical residential property and he is in Georgia and was in the midwest, so that what he says looks diseased in summer may well have healthy foliage for me. As an example, your quote from him above is actually what he says about the native fringetree, Chionanthus viginianus, which I do have, largely based on his recommendation. (C. retusus is a bit less hardy and wouldn't do well for me in all likelihood.) It's a tree (or large shrub for me right now) which is much like magnolias in that it has rather coarse or large-textured leaves and twigs and not much in the way of fall color, but is really gorgeous when in bloom. So like magnolias I'd view it as a one season woody, never ugly, but of outstanding interest only during the spring. I'm not sure if I would plant it on a tiny property, but since I've got lots of room to plant, it's lovely against the dark foliage of the hemlocks and white pines and will be getting a second season of bloom from the clematis that I am in the process of training into its branches. Many of the dogwoods (Cornus) or Fothergilla are much more a multiseason shrub IMO.
(I know, that didn't help trim down your list. Perhaps you need to post the woodies list on the shrubs and/or trees forum for input?)
Well you have to admit that when you are fiddling with the landscape you can easily find yourself on the tip top of a long slippery slope. Hence my solution to every design problem has always been to add more and more and more until all hint of the original design is buried under the surrounding foliage of twenty or so plants and presto chango problem solved. The problem for me began with the addition of Magnolia macrophylla that is most often mistaken by a garden visitor for a banana tree. I love this magnolia but it does need another large leaved tree with view shot and then that very large leaved tree needs another large leaved tree within its view shot and so on and so on. So goes the slippery slope.
Babs, Well said I feel exactly the same about Dirr I have often thought that it would be wonderful if one of his companions would do another manual but I guess there is not enough money to be had for all of that research time.
