RENEGADE finished...
by Roman aka jar
I hope everyone remembers the MAD MAX CAR COMPETITION Massive Voodoo is running for you at the moment. If not here is the reminder :)
It's been a while since the plan of this contest appeared in my little brain - don't you worry, there is still plenty of time even there are already the first entries dropping in like the long missed rain, who lost all ambitions to give water to the desert waste earth. I can tell you it is a hard life out there in the post-apocalyptic deserts and i finally finished the RENEGADE, my dream car of this dark future, with whom i want to drive to the smaller colonys for playing dice with the town folk to earn some coin and carottes. The Renegade is my best friend since the big explosions that did thrill the planet several centuries ago. Time - no one really knows about it, all hurry and hectic has been lost in the moment where the bombs did fall and the clocks stopped ticking. Even there have been many great achievements of humanity being lost in the aftermath and the dark days of looting and uncivilized behavior - in the end somehow this world is still beautiful. It took hundreds of tons of nuclear explosives to make people realize what life is really about. Sure there are still those with a slow brain, i mean those who want to rob others or do them harm, but there are not many and in every heart slumbers a hero who can help his fellow people if they are in danger. I can remember good old Lei, who completly drove back a bunch of Outlaws on his own, only with these Kong Fu skills he found in a book. Books are rare now and the wisdom within is worth more than one lifetime of searching. The people have learned to make cars drive not from gas, they use urine instead and so mostly everyone exhibits a car, or something that is build from million parts won in dice games and build together to something that can drive with urine. At least there is enough to drink around so we all have enough urine. The Renegade and I really have many stories to tell, but at this point this story is over and here is the RENEGADE - the first prize to be won in the MAD MAX CAR COMPETION, for the greatest car coming up from your imagination and execution - i hope you like him, click to enlarge:
Soon I will hopefully find the time to announce the information about the first prize of this competition ready to be won by you all around the places where the comp has been announced earlier. If you want to help me - do it too and spread the word for a big gallery of such dream cars as i don't have much time these days - a painting class is straight ahead at the weekend and i got tons of real life things to attend to at the moment. Thanks in advance. Don't forget to check out the rules and other prizes!
Hope you like him, drop a comment if you do or post whatever you think but most important prepare your own Mad Max Dream Car and get the chance to make the RENEGADE yours at home - i would say this is a real special price to be won, isn't it? Please keep the questions around the contest in the rules via comment. All entries will be shown after the competition, but... nah, check out the rules, there is everything explained from A to Y (i for sure did forget Z in there). The Renegade also drives with urine over on the big voting page, it doesn't matter if your tank is full or empty, you are always invited to follow the link.
Now it is time for me to sleep and dream of dusty roads and the stars behind the grey clouds :)
Good Night and keep on happy painting!
Best Regards

THE GREAT 4.5 CLEAN-UP (Theme for February)
There are a lot of pages which rely on xm which need to be updated to xl. If you notice one and don't have time to fix it, add it here for others to do:
- Xen_Project_Beginners_Guide (should default to xl, and give a nod to xm for old releases)
- XenCommonProblems
- Xen_FAQ_Dom0
- Xen_FAQ_High_Availability
- Xen_Project_Best_Practices
- Scheduling_in_Xen
The documentation on Performance Tuning seems thin, given the importance of the subject:
- Category:Performance Lists the Performance docs currently available. It seems rather sparse.
- Network_Throughput_and_Performance_Guide Has lots of interesting information, but it is oriented for XenServer/XCP. This needs to be recast as a true Xen Project document.
- Tuning_Xen_for_Performance Is potentially the most important document, but it has only a few topics and not that many details. There is some discussion about this page in section 3.12
Integration Documentation
These documents are for projects which users need to use in conjunction with Xen Project. The goal of these documents is not to repeat the documentation found in other projects, but to give people the essential information required to integrate them into their Xen Project installation.
Most of these documents are still quite new and can benefit from improvements by people who have used these projects.
- Using Ceph storage with Xen Project
- Using Gluster file system with Xen Project
- Using ConVirt virtualization management platform with Xen Project
- Using Xen Project in OpenStack clouds
- Using Xen Project in CloudStack clouds
- Using Xen Project in OpenNebula clouds
- Cloud Operating Systems or Unikernels (e.g., Mirage OS, LING, HaLVM, OSv, etc.) and how they relate to Xen Project
Missing bits in Beginners Guide
Xen_Project_Beginners_Guide has a few TODOs in it. In particular, it is missing some diagrams
(IMPORTANT) Linux Distros
It seems that the list of Linux Distros which support Xen is a lot larger than listed on this wiki.
- Funtoo
- Mageia
- Univention Corporate Server (UCS)
- Are there others?
Easy tasks for Beginners
You may want to read Wiki Help if you do not have an account.
Migrate useful blog posts to wiki
Sift through blog.xenproject.org and copy useful posts to wiki. This will mainly be a reformatting exercise. Before you copy an article, perform a search on the wiki (headline or key word) to see whether the post exists already. If in doubt, ask on the IRC channel.
Fix articles that need attention
- Category:Contains_Needs_Formatting - Pages that need formatting
- Category:Contains_Needs_Action - Pages that need fixing. Go through these, and if you get stuck ask people on the IRC channel for help, or go to the next page.
- Category:Contains_TODO - Pages that have a TODO item on the page. Go through these, and if you get stuck ask people on the IRC channel for help, or go to the next page.
Review Categorization
- Sometimes new pages on the wiki are not created with categories. You can find these by going to Special:UncategorizedPages. Documentation about which category is used where can be found in Categories for Authors. If in doubt ask on IRC.
Pages With Comments or Improvement Suggestions
- We ask users to highlight issues using talk pages, following the conventions outlined in Help:Talk Pages. Comments made using these conventions can be identified using the Category:Pages with comments.
Links to Developer Documents on XenBits
There are a number of developer-related documents which are hosted on XenBits which should be locatable through this Wiki. Ideally, someone should work backwards from the XenBits document index to make sure each document exists in a link from the appropriate Wiki page.
If no appropriate Wiki page exists, one should be created or listed here for creation. For function-specific docs which don't necessarily deserve a Wiki page, we should have a catch-all page to let people know that these docs exist.
Missing Pages
- Special:WantedPages - You can find missing pages by going to this link. There are several courses of action that can be taken:
- The page is needed : Add
{{TODO|With a comment}}to the top of the page
- The page is not needed : Remove the reference to the page (follow the link in the bracket besides the page)
- Note that the list of Wanted pages contains lots of needed translations and categories, which you can ignore
- If in doubt, ask for help on the IRC channel
- The page is needed : Add
Double-p 09:55, 25 February 2013 (UTC): There are a gazillion Template-Whatever including a TODO, really needed? Lars.kurth 17:40, 25 March 2013 (UTC): See #Special:WantedPages_broken
Update links to defunct gentoo-wiki.com site
According to [1] it is lost and not coming back. That site has archives but it seems like [2] is the new home. Pages referring to gentoo-wiki.info ought to be updated.
Xen : Open work items
Review and Update: xenpm usage recommendations
There is Xen power management and Xenpm command which may all be outdated. These should probably be reviewed and updated.
- Lars.kurth 10:09, 12 February 2015 (UTC): There has been a bit of activity on Talk:Xen power management which needs to be merged
UEFI Secure Boot
Write a document on how to sign the xen binary for UEFI Secure Boot. Potential reference here: Dealing With Secure Boot
Mirage OS
While much documentation is available at their website, we need to have pages here which describe Mirage OS and give useful pointers to their docs.
Ideally, it would be good to have extensive documentation for this project on this Wiki, as Mirage OS is being fostered by Xen Project.
Documentation on lib(xen)vchan
The header has some stuff, but a more complete guide would be useful.
The usage of the example code is also not documented. http://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-users/2014-01/msg00162.html has some (incomplete) info.
Describe the different ways, and necessary components, to create PVs using xl
Raised by mail by Matthias Blankenhaus (who is prepared to take the lead, but needs help): This document would describe the different ways, and necessary components that each way requires, to create PVs using xl. Right now there are at least the following cases:
- loopbacked vhds
- single partition format
- disk format
- qemu backed vhds
- qcow / qcow2
- LVS backed image
This is not a complete list. Also the mileage of each case differs depending on the kernel features enabled in dom0/domu and also depending on the Xen version. Furthermore, certain format require additional infrastructure like the tap device.
All in all, this a complex topic that needs clarification. Doing this based on the lowest common denominator, xl, would clarify many things. In addition, baseline performance data on all of the above would help a great deal. Matthias volunteered to run the majority of needed perf tests
HOWTO : using xl trigger to poweroff or firing off NMIs
Howto on using xl trigger to poweroff or firing off NMIs.
HOWTO: Chain pypxeboot and pygrub
How to chain pypxeboot and pygrub
- Lars.kurth 10:35, 27 March 2012 (UTC): Is pypxeboot popular at all?
- Fheigl: I added that. It is somewhat common, OVM 2 and OVM 3 rely on it for PXE installs. I'm not sure if xenpvnetboot is the same, or works. The use case is "you want to use the same installation server for Xen VMs and phys. servers. You want to be able to reinstall them based on PXE reply.
- Fheigl: There is documentation for pypxeboot, but there is no (afaik) documentation for how pygrub is used as a fallback loader. We wasted many days just to get some hack that can't even load a newer kernel. Which sucks, in the end you spend more time/money making PV PXE boot work than you save by using virtualized servers.
- Fheigl: How could it be popular given the state of documentation. <= Key issue to the left of this sentence.
- Lars.kurth 16:03, 19 September 2012 (UTC): wondering whether this video contains what is needed
- Ijc 11:01, 25 June 2014 (UTC): Although I've not watched the whole thing I stepped through that video enough to see all the slides (I think) and I didn't see anything about this topic or anything like it.
- Ijc 11:17, 25 June 2014 (UTC): I've downloaded pypxeboot 0.0.3 and as far as I can tell the fallback to pygrub is supposed to happen automatically if pxelinyx.cfg says to do a local boot. If this doesn't Just Work then I think that is a code bug rather than a documentation issue. I'd recommend retiring this docs TODO in favour of a bug report to the pypxeboot authors and/or xen-devel. I googled around a bit and didn't find any existing bug reports anywhere.
Refactor/refresh ARM h/w information
- (DONE) Xen ARM with Virtualization Extensions effectively duplicates the list of supported h/w in #Hardware and #Platform specific configuration, make it a single list.
- Update Arndale info to be less Linaro specific now that mainline is usable.
- Refactor Xen ARM with Virtualization Extensions/OdroidXU and Xen ARM with Virtualization Extensions/Arndale into a generic Eynos page + board specific notes. (and check other platform vs. board combinations).
Visually distinguish Xen, MirageOS and Community Documentation better
Lars.kurth 15:32, 28 January 2013 (UTC): Users are getting confused when looking at wiki pages. If there was a visual way to distinguish Xen, MirageOS and Other content better, this would help. We could use colors and skinning when it comes to various elements, as well as mascots/logos:
- For example: Help:Contents has a different feel (and colour scheme)
- This could be replicated in trail boxes and other elements
- We can also use mascots
But first, I need to investigate what is possible.
Lars.kurth 16:14, 28 January 2013 (UTC): Looks as if the only way this can be done is via Custom Namespaces. The only way to do this properly is to
- Have different namespaces for Xen, MirageOS, ... and Community stuff and keep all the common stuff in Xen
- The name spaces could then be styled differently, for example the Help namespace includes the ns-12 style into the body attributes, whereas the Main (default) namespace uses the ns-14 style.
- Custom namespaces can be created by changing the config and are linked to custom styles
- The styles are then defined in MediaWiki:Common.css
Implications of using custom namespaces:
- Search: Pages in a custom namespace do not show up in default search results. So if we had a custom MirageOS namespace, it would mean that search results for MirageOS would not show up. One would need to go to Advanced Search and select MirageOS
- Rename: Renaming pages is possible and as straightforward as renaming pages
- Xen Namespace: The Xen namespace exists already, this may need to be renamed
- Categories and Namespaces: Categories cross namespaces. In other words, Category:XXX would go across all namespaces. As an example, see Category:Wiki_Management
Mediwiki Issues
Special:WantedPages broken
Issue 1: Pages that need translation are spamming the list
- Solution: fix language templates and mark with {{Stub translation}}
- Lars.kurth 16:48, 28 January 2013 (UTC): There is something wrong with the language templates, essentially spamming the wanted pages. Do ignore these instructions until fixed.
- Lars.kurth 23:28, 11 February 2013 (UTC): Fixed language template issues by removing most languages from the templates
- Lars.kurth 18:03, 25 March 2013 (UTC): Started marking pages with {{Stub translation}}
Issue 2: Missing templates are spamming the list
- Solution: mark missing templates with {{Undefined Template}}
- Lars.kurth 17:27, 25 March 2013 (UTC): Started marking all missing templates with {{Undefined Template}}
Issue 3: Missing categories are spamming the list
- Solution: mark with {{Stub category}}
- Lars.kurth 18:03, 25 March 2013 (UTC): Started marking pages with {{Stub category}}
Categories & Indexes
- Lars.kurth 13:54, 29 January 2013 (UTC): Combined categories such as list all XCP FAQs have been asked for sevceral times
- Investigate plug-ins
Developer Docs
Docs that need attention or are missing
- Make XAPI docs (built from source) available on XenProject.org
- some more xenstore docs (i.e. recent python bindings that were sent to the -users list)
- Ijc 12:13, 25 June 2014 (UTC): I don't think these are included in Xen? Need a reference.
- Using libxenstat python bindings (imo they're broken)
- Ijc 12:13, 25 June 2014 (UTC): Is this a bug report? If they are broken we should fix them (as well as potentially documenting them)
- More PV protocol docs (see recent patches to blkif.h for example)
- Ijc 12:13, 25 June 2014 (UTC): blkif.h and netif.h are perhaps the most critical ones and those are now pretty good. But the rest (fbif.h, kbdif.h, pciif.h, usbif.h, tmpif.h and vscsiif.h) could all stand to be improved.
- Document xenstore paths used by guests and toolstack etc
- Ijc 16:10, 26 November 2012 (UTC): This is now in tree: http://xenbits.xen.org/docs/unstable/misc/xenstore-paths.html

I'm always trying to get good shots of distinctive behavior in the birds I observe, and I'm over the moon to have documented the Tennessee warbler's fondness for flowers and nectar.
The Gartenmeister fuchsia in a pot beneath my studio window is the object of his desire.
With his needle-fine bill, he probes deep into the corolla.
Oh thank you, little warbler, for showing me this thing I could so easily have missed, you being as green as the leaves.
All right. No more Mrs. Nice Science Chimp. You have some conundra to solve. I'll start you off sort of easy. Mystery Bird #1. Everything you need to see on this bird is visible in this photo. I know, light's bad, but it's there.
Mystery Bird #2. Ditto. There's one clue in this shot that seems terribly insignificant but clinches the ID.

The Empire's master plan is under way. The New Republic is on the verge of civil war and the rumor that the legendary Admiral Thrawn has returned from the dead is rallying the Imperial forces. Now Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Princess Leia, and their allies face the challenge of their lives. They must infiltrate a hidden fortress filled with Imperial fanatics, rendezvous with a double-dealing Imperial commander, and journey into enemy territory to learn the identity of those responsible for an act of unthinkable genocide. But most important of all is the truth about Thrown. In his hands--alive or dead--rests the fate of the New Republic.
This is #2 in The Hand Of Thrawn Series.

Tutorial: Bias Bound Seams
Bias bound seams are a simple way to finish your garment. You can easily make the insides as interesting as the outsides by using patterned bias binding or play it down with matching colors.
Either way, this is a nice finish and easily customizable. Keep in mind that the binding will add a some bulk to your garment and plan accordingly.
Today, we'll show you two ways to finish your seams with bias tape. Version 1 binds the seam allowances together, while version 2 binds them separately so the seam can be pressed open.
Supplies needed
You'll need the following to create either version of a bound seam:
- Fabric
- Scissors
- Pins
- Bias Binding
Version 1: bound together
1. Stitch the seams together as usual.
2. Pin the bias binding to the closed seam.
3. Sew the bias binding. Make sure that the back of the bias tape is being sewn down as you go. Once the seam is finished, press it to one side and you're done!
Version 2: pressed open
Here is another bound seam, this time pressed open. Usually this finish is found in jackets or garments made with thicker fabrics such as cotton twill, certain wools or other medium to heavy weight fabrics.
Whatever the garment, the seams must lie flat so make a test seam if you're using a thick fabric.
This seam is fairly easy to make but takes a little more time than version 1, since both sides of the seam allowance are bound.
1. Sew the seam as you would normally.
2. Press the seam open.
3. Pin a strip of bias binding to one of the seam allowances.
4. Sew the bias binding, being sure the binding is sewn on the back side.
5. Follow steps 3 and 4 for the opposite seam allowance.
6. Press the seam open.
The seam will remain open on the inside of the garment. Play around with different bias bindings. Make your own using this easy bias tape tutorial Sarai put together!

|Llewellyn's 2019 Daily Planetary Guide

|The Pure Heart of Yoga
In 1717, four lodges located in London came together and created the first Grand Lodge, the oldest Masonic Grand Lodge. It is important to re- member that this is the date given for the formation of the Grand Lodge of England, not the beginning of Freemasonry. For the Grand Lodge to have been created, lodges would have to already have been in existence. How- ever, given the nature of Masonic history, many histories simply work from 1717 forward, as here the greatest number of documents, records, and other forms of suitable evidence exist. As pointed out, prior to 1717 little is known about the origins of the Craft, and speculations abound by both Masons and non-Masons alike.
Masons met in taverns and coffeehouses, naming their lodges after the places they met. In February 1717, the Apple Tree, the Crown, the Goose and Gridiron, and the Rummer and Grapes lodges met in the Apple Tree Tavern on Charles Street in the Covent Garden district of London. Of the four lodges present, three of them were composed primarily of Operative Masons, with some Accepted Masons in the ranks. Rummer and Grapes was a different story, composed exclusively of Accepted Masons, all gentlemen, and a few nobles as well. Their discussion centered around the future of Freemasonry in England.
What most concerned the members present was how to distinguish Freemasonry from other clubs and social groups in London at the time. Given that many of these clubs existed solely for the purpose of drinking, eating, gambling, and frequenting brothels, they wanted rules that would establish who could be a member, as well as a code of conduct for members.
The men who met at the Apple Tree Tavern wanted to see Freemasonry grow. They were living in the largest and fastest-growing city in Europe. Social mobility was increasing as the workers moved in from the country-side and a merchant middle class exploded to meet their needs. Now, suddenly, skilled laborers, merchants, bankers, and nobles were all sitting together in one place: a Masonic lodge. To govern this body of men of mixed social rank—something unheard of before then—they formed a Grand Lodge, and on June 24, 1717, also known as Saint John the Baptist's Day, they elected Anthony Sayer the first Grand Master for the Grand Lodge of England. Sayer was a gentleman and Accepted Mason, and with his election, Freemasonry split further from its Operative roots and moved into the future of Speculative and, as we will later see, occult and philosophical Freemasonry.

Modeling in the context of distributed object frameworks is a difficult problem because it requires the integration of three research areas : (1) object oriented modeling, (2) formalization, and (3) distributed processing. The open distributed processing (ODP) reference model defines the theoretical framework to realize this integration. This thesis proposes an original approach to this problem through a pragmatic instantiation of this integration in the perspective of ODP. By deliberately limiting the scope of the work to functional models, and to information and computational viewpoint issues of the ODP reference model, it is shown how a very abstract and expressive behavior specification framework can be devised. The specification framework is based on a declarative specification of actions. Actions in the system are declared with respect to all the functionalities to be modeled. The behavior specification template is a variant of the well known event-condition-action (ECA) rule model, extended by the specification of safety properties or assertions, that are used during validation. With a declarative approach control issues in the system that typically overspecify a functional model can be abstracted away to a maximal extent. In addition, the specification framework makes possible the integration of any high level aggregation structures typically proposed by most of the object oriented analysis and design methods. In particular, roles and relationships are used to provide very expressive modeling. Note well that the specification framework is generic in the sense that it does not depend on any particular distributed computing notation. In particular both OSI systems management (GDMO, ASN.1) and CORBA (IDL) notations can be integrated. Each element specified in such notations is integrated according to the role played with respect to either the information or the computational ODP viewpoint. Validation is based on execution, therefore an important part of the thesis consists of defining how the declarative specification of actions model can be made executable. To this end a precise operational semantics is defined and implemented by an algorithm called the behavior propagation engine (BPE) algorithm. Since the proposed declarative specification framework follows the very general ECA-rule model, the execution semantics can interestingly be based on principles already stated in the context of active database management systems (ADBMS). The result is a transition system, defined by a set of transition functions that exercise their processing on a user-level control structure called the behavior execution tree (BET). The BET gives a complete representation of the control state at each execution step. The BET can be visualized and be used for user interaction and debugging purposes. In addition, execution backtracking is a powerful problem analysis facility that has been incorporated in the interactive execution environment. This facility is supported by undo functions and the use of continuations. Finally, the validation environment incorporates reduced state space exploration algorithms based on a combination of partial order and state caching techniques. Jointly, interactive execution and state space exploration are very complementary validation tools. State space exploration is typically used to detect problems in a model, and interactive execution performs very well for problem analysis. The concrete result of this thesis is a powerful tool-set that is in addition expected to be usable by distributed object computing systems engineers in their daily work in specification. A tool allows specifiers to get immediate and concrete feedback about their work. In addition, engineers are forced to get a detailed knowledge of the models considered. Though a significant amount of work may be needed to get a model complete, the result is a better understanding of models. Finally, the corresponding specification can be implemented faster. The tool-set was developed in the context of the TIMS project. TIMS stands for TMN-based Information Model Simulator. It is a joint project between "Institut Eur´ ecom" and "Swisscom". In the thesis references are made about the application of the tool-set in the context of the TIMS project.

Garden Bloggers Bloom Day - December 15, 2011
Persicaria 'Inverleith'
I'll be honest...I didn't really expect to have anything to show for this GBBD post...I kind of assumed I'd be opting out of this one! Our weather here in PDX has been pretty mild for the most part. We've gotten frost for the past week or so, but apparently not enough of one to really put the nail in the gardens coffin. The above Persicaria looks pretty ratty for the most part, but is still blooming and hasn't crumpled from frost yet.
Geranium 'Rozanne'
'Rozanne' seems almost indestructible this year...it still has quite a few blooms on it, in spite of our recent frosts and shows no sign of giving up.
Knautia macedonica
Another plant that doesn't seem to have gotten the memo that winter is just around the corner. Granted, the ones in the more-protected back yard are much fuller and have far more blooms than the ones in the exposed parking strip.
Agastache 'Purple Haze'
Another plant in the back yard that continues to bloom, even after getting partially flattened by our recent shed construction antics!
So, there it is...the last GBBD post of 2012! I can't imagine I'll have anything to show in January, but February is pretty much the start of spring here in PDX, so you never know. How about all you out there...do you have any blooms this month?!?

Wonderful raindrops on the blooms!ReplyDelete
Happy GBBD!
You have a nice group of diehards there, Scott! I loved your phrase about not having bad enough frost to "put the nail in the garden's coffin"! We really have been lucky with the past few weeks, of dryness at least.ReplyDelete
I actually was thinking when I commented on your last post, that you should be spearheading a "Seedy Saturday" (or Sunday) monthly post to focus on seed heads, berries and other similar end notes to flowering. How about it? That would be in all your spare time, of course!
I think the Persicaria looks beautiful still. They just keep on giving don't they! Lovely blooms and a lot more than I am seeing, which is none. :)ReplyDelete
Cher Sunray Gardens
I really like the Knautia macedonica - it looks like a great foliage plant too!ReplyDelete
Happy GBBD :)
As always, pretty blooms. Also, I could look at your seed photos all day long!ReplyDelete
A lingering fall on both coasts... But Rozanne isn't still at it here. What a hummer of a picture!ReplyDelete
I love the MulchMaid's idea! And I am surprised at what's hanging on in gardens around town, especially considering that it has been so cold, relatively speaking. Wouldn't it be wonderful if this cold snap was the worst we got hit with this year! I dream...ReplyDelete
- AnonymousDecember 15, 2011 at 12:54 PM
Very pretty images as always. I like the two geraniums, they look like they are ready to kiss each other. Happy GBBD.ReplyDelete

Hi Scott,ReplyDelete
Beautiful photos :)
I noticed my knautia also has a couple of small blooms on it :D and it's actually looking quite healthy compared to during the summer when it looked a bit sickly. However we've had snow last night so I suspect it will have been the nail in the coffin for my garden (it's all melted now, but still)
Winter weather is late here also...not that I am complaining. Your Rozanne is so pretty...I must try to find a happier place for mine.ReplyDelete
Nice assortment of December blooms! Besides the flowers, your garden still looks nice and green too.ReplyDelete
Perhaps you have just a few blooms, but you made the most of them by transforming all into beautiful photos. 'Rozanne' continues to amaze, yes?ReplyDelete
It's nice to see you have some blooms still hanging on. Very nice color in your gardens and your Roseanne Geraniums and Agastache look good! Keep enjoying and a Happy GBBD!ReplyDelete
You have a nice collection of blooms there for mid-December. It seems your garden is flourishing.ReplyDelete
So many beautiful reds, purples, and pinks. A beautiful December in your garden!ReplyDelete
I echo Hoover Boo, your blooms might not anymore catch attention but your photos do. I always come here not mainly for the blooms, but for the excellent shots, which i don't know how to do!ReplyDelete
A beautiful time for you and beautiful photography, as usual. Here in upstate NY, not only don't we have snow cover but I still have some pansies, and three alyssum plants left. My final petunia (just a couple of struggling shoots) succumbed about a week ago. Our weather has been unbelievable.ReplyDelete
Gorgeous blooms! I couldn't figure out what all the fuss was about with Geranium 'Rozanne' earlier this past spring, but it's an amazing rock start that can't seem to stop blooming.ReplyDelete
I agree--Rozanne is a winner and so are your photos. Your camera skills + great lighting + Rozanne = magical image. The rest of the shots are great, too!ReplyDelete
The 'Rozanne' geranium is a favorite of mine. I really like the color on your 'Rozanne' which seems to be a deeper blue than mine. But I do love that plant. What a performer! And I'm glad you posted about your Knautia macedonica. I have one that I planted in late summer so I have not seen it bloom yet. But I read so many favorable reviews of that plant that I had to have one!ReplyDelete
Because of the Persicaria pics you have shown in past posts, I jumped at the chance to take some a friend was offering. They are just this side of wild. Happy GBBD!ReplyDelete
Few blooms mayhap, but beauties and beautifully photographed. I love the geranium in particular - I like that there is a dying one beside the young one - very zen, a very pretty "still life" feel to that photo. it's fun flying around the world on GBBD! I enjoyed visiting your Oregon garden.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousDecember 16, 2011 at 7:03 AM
Some of my favourites still shining in your garden. Hopefully our tiny Rozanne plant-ling survives the winter to give flowers next year, and the bare root agastaches come up! Your pictures are luminous.ReplyDelete
I recently planted a Persicaria in my garden and it was THE star bloomer all season long ... great blooms!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousDecember 16, 2011 at 11:02 AM
Looking at this post and the former, I was almost sure your garden was in England, as the plants you show could be seen there (and over here, in Belgium) too.ReplyDelete
Seems Portland is in the same hardiness zone...
But while reading the first line of your other post (quote from Piet Oudolf), I guess you're at least a little bit influenced by 'the Dutch wave, which explains how 'at home' your pictures feel.
(I didn't know this Agastache... but I really like it, must give it a try...)
I wish I had more space in the sun to make Persicaria and geraniums happy. Lovely photos~gailReplyDelete
Your Rozanne is lovely... I finally bought one in late summer and it was blooming nicely, when I came out one day to find just little pieces of it left, nipped off and strewn about. What a heart breaker. I hadn't had any problems with rabbits or deer eating my many geraniums before.:-(ReplyDelete
I will have to look into Persicaria and Knautia next year, your photos are so inspirational.
So good to see some real blooms--the cold has definitely put the "nail in the coffin" in my garden:) Your 'Rozanne' is such a beauty!ReplyDelete

Great post! Happy GBBD!ReplyDelete
Hey Scott,ReplyDelete
I haven't been able to blog for over two months because my nursing home server has been down. One of the consequences has not being able to see your blog and enjoying your mastery of garden photography. It truly inspires me especially your combination examples.
I really like the Rozanne image. It appears one blossom is staring into a mirror at its reflection. Nice work.
It feels great to be back in the real world again, Scott.
I'm new to your blog via Rhone Street Gardens. It's nice to see signs of spring when the dread of winter is upon us here in Kansas.ReplyDelete
I had Rozanne in flower right up until last week - I forgot to check when I was doing my belated GBBD today if she was still in flower. That Persicaria has such a Scottish name - I wonder if that one is hardy here as they struggle for me from one winter to the next.ReplyDelete
Lea's Menagerie: Don't the raindrops add a little something extra :-)ReplyDelete
MulchMaid: I know…it's a nice change (although I admit, I'm starting to miss the rain). That's a nice idea…the spare time is definitely the only snag. Then again, I'm always looking for a way to avoid doing the laundry ;-)
Sunray Gardens: I'm amazed how much I've come to rely on Persicaria in my garden over the past year…great plants!
Christine: It's a great plant…do try some if you can…they are quite easy to start from seed :-)

gardenwalkgardentalk.com: Hahahah…you're so right!
gwirrel: I agree…I think the Knautia really seem to like cooler weather…I've noticed they are very green and full still.
Leslie: I hope you can find a good place for 'Rozanne'…she'll reward you amply!
garden girl: Thanks…it's a little deceiving in photos…there's quite a bit of mud out there at the moment ;-)
Hoover Boo: OMG…yes…'Rozanne' is Belle of the Ball, so to speak!
Landscape Design by Lee: Thanks…you too!
Dorothy/Gardening with Nature: It's been a very nice year here in PDX…I sort of fell I can't quite take credit for it all :-)
Tina: Indeed…I can't quite believe it's December!
Andrea:Ahhh…thanks so much…it's years of practice :-)
bookworm: OMG…yeah, it's been a CRAZY year for the weather, hasn't it?
Megan: totally a rock star!
PlantPostings: Hahahaha…totally…the perfect storm of flowers photography!
dorothy: Seriously, 'Rozanne' is such a winner…and the Knautia is great too. I started a few from seed this spring, and they didn't manage to bloom this year…so I'm crossing my fingers for next year too :-)
Les: Hahahaha…totally…that's what I love about them…they impart such a natural look to the garden.
Country Mouse: Totally…it's a very season tableaux, for certain :-)
hillwards: I'll cross my fingers for your 'Rozanne', she's a tough girl, I'm sure she'll be back next year! Yay for the Agastaches!!!
The Violet Fern: Aren't Persicaria great…so undemanding!
AnneTanne: Ahh…yes! I guess their influence is showing more and more in my garden :-)
Gail: I know that feeling…we have so little sun…I cram as much as I can in to take advantage of it!
Hanna PNW: Oh no! They must have been very hungry :-( I hope it comes back next year…I'll cross my fingers for you :-)
Rose: Oh yeah…I'm pretty sure the end for us in the PNW is just around the corner too :-)
redneckrosarian: Thanks, you too!
Patricks' Garden: OMG…that's so awful! Glad you are back…and just in time for the holidays :-) I was without Internet (and phone) service for the better part of a week when I went to Nebraska this fall…I can't imagine how I'd go without for for two months! You are stronger than I, my friend! Welcome back!
Paticks's Garden II: THanks for stopping by!
Rosie@leavesnbloom: Hmmmmm…it very well might be…it's a tough one :-)

What follows the jump is video of a man at Flinders Street Station in Melbourne, in a chicken suit, playing "What is Love?" on a Pianica. Again, I'll say it: All the freaky people make the beauty of the world.
I guess we'll count this as one of your #IndieRockHanukkah presents. Whoever this is, in a just universe, this person would be a supernova. Or will get his/her own Baz Luhrmann-directed biopic.

An increasing number of consortia and organizational alliances have coalesced around specific problems and issues of public health importance. By pooling and leveraging funding and other resources, such partnerships seek to address complex health problems collectively and to invite widespread public- and private-sector participation. NIAID and other National Institutes of Health (NIH) Institutes participate in various consortia, including the following:
- Global HIV Vaccine Enterprise
- Alliance for Microbicide Development
- Multilateral Initiative on Malaria (MIM)
NIAID was a founding member of MIM, which emphasizes strengthening the research capacity of African scientists working in malaria-endemic regions. PAVE is an example of a voluntary consortium of U.S. government agencies—U.S. Agency for International Development, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, U.S. Military HIV Research Program, and NIH (including NIAID and the Office of AIDS Research)—and other organizations involved in HIV vaccine research, including the NIAID-supported HIV Vaccine Trials Network.
Several international consortia have resulted in landmark scientific achievements. For example, in 1999, NIAID joined the Anopheles gambiae Genome Consortium to accelerate sequencing of the genes of the mosquito species most responsible for transmitting malaria to humans. NIAID and the French government contributed funds to this venture. Other partners included private companies such as Genoscope and Celera Genomics, the World Health Organization, research institutes in Germany and Greece, the Institut Pasteur, The Institute for Genomic Research, and several universities.

Party leaders are quickly wading into New Jersey's Democratic incumbent-vs.-incumbent grudge match between Reps. Bill Pascrell and Steven Rothman, with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid joining a growing number of top Democrats throwing their financial weight behind Pascrell's campaign.
On Tuesday, the Nevada Democrat donated $5,000 to Pascrell's campaign through his Searchlight Leadership Fund PAC, joining House Assistant Minority Leader James Clyburn (S.C.) and House Democratic Caucus Chairman John Larson (Conn.).
Larson kicked in $2,000 to Pascrell's campaign Dec. 31, while Clyburn donated $7,000 total from his campaign fund and PAC earlier this month.
The two incumbents face off June 5 for supremacy over their northern New Jersey district.
Leadership of either party rarely wades into the middle of primary battles between incumbents, and in the past when they have, it has often had disastrous results.
House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (Va.) earlier this year touched off turmoil within his Conference when he backed Rep. Adam Kinzinger over Rep. Don Manzullo in their Illinois primary race. The move enraged Manzullo, who demanded Cantor step down from his leadership position.
Although Cantor's bet paid off and Kinzinger won the contest, the episode left a sour taste among his colleagues, particularly old-line veterans of the House who saw the endorsement as a breach of protocol.
Both Clyburn and Larson insist their decision was based solely on personal considerations.
"It's very, very personal. I grew up in South Carolina, [but] I spent my summers during my college days in Paterson, New Jersey," Clyburn told Roll Call, noting that he and his wife were married there.
"Ever since Bill Pascrell came to Congress, we've spent almost every evening together," he said.
As for any hurt feelings within the broader Caucus, Clyburn said simply "we're very, very close personal friends. … I've got personal relationships, I hope everybody will understand that."
A Larson campaign spokesman said the Connecticut Democrat was motivated by similar reasons. Pascrell is "a personal and dear friend, and friendship transcends politics," the spokesman said.
Reid's decision to extend his already considerable political reach not only into the House, but all the way into a New Jersey primary between two incumbents is more puzzling. He and Pascrell share no obvious personal or professional ties. A Reid spokesman declined to comment.
At the same time, rank-and-file Democrats are beginning to pick their own favorites. Rep. Henry Waxman (Calif.) donated $2,000 to Rothman, while Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. (Ill.) donated $1,000 through his A More Perfect Union PAC. Rep. Ted Deutch (Fla.) donated $2,000 to Rothman.
So far, the two campaigns are taking the battle lines being drawn within the party in stride.
"Congressman Pascrell appreciates all the support he's received from his colleagues in Congress in his primary fight, including the support of so many Democratic leaders. He's very proud of the relationships he's built with so many of his colleagues as they work together on behalf of middle-class taxpayers across the country in the fight against tea party extremists," Pascrell spokesman Sean Darcy said Wednesday.
Likewise, Rothman spokesman Paul Swibinski said, "We welcome their support and thank them for their contribution."

New SATC 2 Photos Hit the WebThe newly released stills, which have been published by media outlets such as Britain's Daily Mail (see the article Souks And The City: Sneak peek of Carrie & Co's Moroccan adventure in Sex And The City 2), and Metro.co.uk (see: Sex and the City 2: New photos released), feature some fantastic shots of our fabulous SATC foursome – Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker), Miranda Hobbes-Brady (Cynthia Nixon), Samantha Jones (Kim Cattrall) and Charlotte York-Goldenblatt (Kristin Davis). They include a photo of our fashionistas kicking up their designer heels in a Morocco nightclub and another, published by In Style.com of Carrie and her fellow SATC 2 stars taking to the stage in what appears to be a lively karaoke performance (see New Sex and The City 2 Picture Revealed and the two images below); don't you just love the SATC fashion in these shots!!!
Along with these awesome group shots, New Line has released an official photo of Charlotte wearing a cupcake-printed apron while clearly reveling in domesticity with now two-year-old daughter Rose (see first image directly below), as well as a shot of writer-director Michael Patrick King on-set in NYC with Carrie (SJP), wearing the now famous White Halston Heritage v-neck jersey dress from the official SATC 2 poster, and Charlotte (Kristen Davis), sporting a $3090 Pink Christian Dior jacket and $790 Dior skirt with Pink and White Christian Louboutin designer slingbacks (second image directly below).
The studio has also released a new pic (see first image directly below) of Samantha (Kim Cattrall) dashing across a busy NYC street in a low-cut, Black body-hugging mini, (with daring cutouts no less!) and yet another alluring pic of the PR maven, this time lounging in a luxurious Yellow robe while spending some quality time with her laptop and BlackBerry (see second image below). Leave it to Samantha to make "working from home" look so chic and sexy!
These photos join the previously released official shots of our fierce SATC 2 fashionistas strolling across the Moroccan desert (see the very first image above in this post), and sipping champagne while enjoying a sumptuous feast in an exotic Bedouin tent (see image below and 8 New Sex and the City 2 Photos). And let's not forget that great pic of Carrie wearing the "J'adore Dior 8" designer tee that is sure to become one of the most sought-after designer clothing items this year (see second image below)!
Style in Sin City: SATC 2 Stars Get Glam in VegasA huge ChicAlert congratulations to the cast of SATC 2 for picking up the Ensemble Award at ShoWest 2010, the official convention of the National Association of Theatre Owners, in Las Vegas! On-hand to promote the upcoming release of the SATC movie sequel, Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis treated us to not one, but TWO, sets of designer looks! (see: Fashion face-off: The gals of SATC 2 versus themselves!).
First on the style schedule, the trio of SATC leading ladies attended the Warner Brothers "Big Picture 2010" event on the afternoon of March 18. SJP looked amazing in a Yellow sequined one-shoulder dress from the Lanvin Spring-Summer 2010 collection. The actress paired the super-flattering draped designer dress with Pinkish-Nude suede Charlotte Olympia luxury designer heels. Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon, meanwhile, both opted for one of this season's hottest trends: prints. Kristin Davis looked radiant in a $1,990 Black, floral, pre-Fall 2010 Oscar de la Renta silk twill dress with a ruffle skirt, which she paired with a Black Jimmy Choo clutch and Black patent peep-toe shoes. And Cynthia Nixon looked fabulous in a Carolina Herrera Purple and Amber rope print sheath from the designer's Spring 2010 collection. Dressed up with Purple satin Christian Louboutin pumps, Jimmy Choo clutch and Fred Leighton jewelry, the look was perfectly polished from head-to-toe. The Carolina Herrera designer dress features colorful Purple/multicolor rope-weave print on soft Italian cotton, a tailored shape pencil skirt and finished with cap sleeves. If money is no object then you can purchase this chic designer dress at up market boutiques such as Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman.
But it was at the closing ceremony later that evening that the SATC ladies really pulled out all the fashion stops. As Marchesa PR tweeted in real-time, Sarah Jessica Parker looked spectacular in a delicately beaded Black Marchesa mini. I especially love the ultra feminine tulle fabric and the sheer arced neckline of shooting stars. She looks like a fairy princess. (And I mean that in a good way!)
Yes, SJP is definitely loving Marchesa these days. Just two days earlier, on March 16, People.com captured the SATC starlet exhibiting her trademark creativity when she wore Marchesa's Black shooting star tuxedo dress as a jacket while on-hand for a Halston Heritage promotional event in Toronto, Canada. The designer dress, from Georgina Chapman's Marchesa Fall-Winter 2010 collection, looked ultra-hip paired with a Halston Heritage Purple mini, a sparkling mesh Halston Heritage handbag, and Grey satin Ferragamo pumps.
But getting back to Vegas, SJP wasn't the only one to raise the glamour quotient at the ShoWest 2010 evening festivities. Accepting the Ensemble Award with her two SATC co-stars, Kristin Davis opted once again for pre-Fall 2010 Oscar de la Renta, but this time in the form of a Black A-Line Dress loaded with Gold embellishments and paired with Christian Louboutin sandals. Cynthia Nixon, meanwhile, looked smashing in a body skimming Black cut-out shift by Roberto Cavalli, Black tights, Fred Leighton jewelry, and a clutch and Black pumps, both by Christian Louboutin.
While Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis were dazzling Las Vegas, Kim Cattrall (Samantha) was noticeably absent. No scandal here though. As we reported in our March 11 Sex and the City (SATC) Movie Sequel Update update, the actress is in London where she is performing in a West End production of Noel Coward's play, Private Lives. Joking backstage about the rumored catfights between herself and Cattrall, SJP told E! Online (see: Sex in Las Vegas: Where Was Kim Cattrall?,
"We don't like her, so she's gone."Also speaking with E! Online, Cynthia Nixon echoed SJP's sentiments, saying, "We miss her." So, I guess the tabloids are out of luck if they were hoping for some evidence of juicy backstage rivalry. I think that our SATC stars have dealt with more than their share of manufactured rumors at this point, so here's hoping that the catfight stories will end sooner rather than later!
Lest anyone take her remark seriously though, Parker continued,
"We've actually been e-mailing with her for the last three or four hours. The next time you see us, we will be complete."
Kristin Davis Dishes on her SATC 2 "Crazy Pants"When it comes to Sex and the City fashion, I think we can all agree that the more eye-popping choices are usually reserved for eclectic Carrie or sultry Samantha. But it looks like Charlotte will have at least one scene-stealing style moment of her own when the SATC movie sequel opens this May. The actress spoke to In Style magazine (see: Shop SJP's Sexy Heels from SATC2!) at the Montblanc Charity Cocktail for UNICEF, hosted by the Weinstein Co. on March 6.
"I had these Zac Posen pants in the sequel," said Davis. "They are red satin lunatic pants – [Zac] admits that they are crazy pants. I would never wear them in real life because they are insane!"As for whether Kristin Davis and her fellow SATC 2 stars get to keep the designer clothes and designer shoes and handbags that they sport on-screen, she reveals,
"Generally speaking, we get to keep our clothes from the movie…We're really, really careful though because we often have one-of-a-kind samples from the runway. We don't eat in them."Given the expense of their designer outfits, I can't say that I blame them. Of course, that's not to say that one might not have a cosmo or two. ;-)
SJP on Alexander McQueen: A Touching TributeFinally, on a somber note, the fashion world is still mourning the tragic and shocking loss of British fashion designer Alexander McQueen. As we mentioned in our post following his death on February 11 (see: British Fashion Designer Alexander McQueen Dead), Sarah Jessica Parker is one of the many high-profile celebs whom the designer, born Lee McQueen, counted among his fans. In the wake of his passing, SJP has written an eloquent piece for Time Magazine in which she captures the fashion designer's passion, creativity and grace. In an excerpt, she writes:
"When I asked Lee if he would make my dress for the premiere of the Sex and the City movie, he was gracious enough to say yes. He flew to New York City on a couple of occasions to keep fitting it on me. In London, he fitted it on me again, with the same exacting precision he had about everything. Big and little. And he was just lovely. When he'd look up and smile--which he rarely did, since he was very shy – he was just so winning."If you haven't had an opportunity to check out the full Alexander McQueen tribute by SJP, I think you'll appreciate it.
That's all for now, my fellow SATC addicts! We'll be back very soon with more inside scoop on the SATC movie sequel and fashion, including the deets on what initially propelled Sarah Jessica Parker to start thinking about her new partnership with Halston. And, yes, you can bet that there's an SATC connection!
