Winter sanctuary ready for the dormant hosta
If you all recall, a British display garden which was small and in containers, was featured somewhere. For the life of me, I cannot remember where.
The garden was not big, it was in containers, and the garden was exquisite. Seems that the gardener used his privacy fence to house some of his containers.
That is where I got the inspiration for my latest project, that wore me to a frazzle, of creating a Winter Dormancy Sanctuary for my hosta container garden. I am well on the way to moving hosta into it. As each hosta goes dormant, I'm reassigning it to the shadier and less visible half of our "back forty," the 100 x 25 foot strip of garden space our lovely neighbor sold us a couple of years ago.
Since a wooden privacy fence is not intended to support big pots, as someone pointed out to me, I found an alternate way of dealing with the issues. Cinder blocks support 2x4s and 2x2 treated wood runners, and the pots are TIPPED to prevent at least some rain from entering, and to allow drainage. I finished the structural part of the job yesterday. I bought every last bag of mulch from my local Ace hardware, to their delight, and hauled the bags and spread them myself. The pine bark supplier went out of business, so that was a real bummer.
Stages of work included RoundUp application, wait for things to die, dig up what wouldn't die. Then apply cow manure and cheaper soil to raise low spots. Spread all the supply of newspaper. Cut and place the layers of landscape fabric. Bring home countless car loads of cypress mulch to cover the surface of this portion of the back forty. Spread it out. Lay the 12 x 12 pavers for a pathway through the area. Stack the cinder blocks around the perimeter of the privacy fence. Add the treated lumber to support the tilted pots.
I also discovered that I had squirrel problems, since they enjoyed the softer soil of the pots to digging in the ground. And, I did not want to have a forest of pecan seedlings next spring. I ordered 4 pounds of ground cayenne pepper (AKA red pepper or Chinese pepper) with 90,000 hu (heat units) so it is super hot hot hot. That is expected to arrive today.
A Flickr album of the work and the final result is up now, and can be viewed by clicking on any of the photos herewith attached. If anyone has a thought about tweaking this area, without too much heavy-duty work, speak up. If you notice, there is a chair in the middle of the sanctuary, and that is where I sit and watch the hosta sleep.
and the first use of cayenne pepper, on my Don Rawson hosta pots--will reapply when the hot stuff arrives
What do you think?
And here is the other end of the back forty hosta display area. Waiting to go dormant so they can be snugged in for the winter too.
what a nice retreat. I see your wiener dog, Dixie, is on squirrel patrol too or admiring the view. This is loads of work and I am sure you will enjoy your results. Can hardly wait for the new spring pictures and fall has only begun but I bet you can see it in your mind already.
True true, I can see it already.
One thing on my mind for next spring is remaking a bed which has mostly broken shade all year long, of course more shade in winter. If I need to put some hosta in the ground, this will be the place. I might even break out of the back garden and put some of the giants out near the street. Don't you just know a big ole Sum And Substance will knock the socks off folks who never saw hosta growing before? Wow.....and mine is going into its third year next spring. Or is it FOURTH year? It arrived in May 2010.
Moccasinlanding, I am envious! You have done a good job, and have created wonderful container garden. I also grow hostas in pots and have squirrels digging in them---especially in the spring and the fall. I found some old eavestrough covers in my mom's garage (my dad used to use it to put on the grass when he reseeded to deter the squirrels from digging). My husband had some landscape staples. So I cut the plastic netting and pinned it down with the staples. In this picture I had reused thinner strips of the netting. But I figure if I cut semi circles out, I can use and reuse them the next year. I do find though that the squirrels seem to target certain pots, so maybe ALL of the pots do not need to be done. I believe that cayenne pepper needs to be reapplied after rain, so I present to you a reusable alternative to consider.
Moccasin - What a TON of work you did on this project, and how happy the hostas must be. (You will be able to indulge in lost of Xmas calories and not feel the least bit guilty.)
The article re. the British garden you referred to is in the latest AHS journal.
Well well well, I am pleased as punch (to coin a new phrase) that I have a new option for squirrel deter and found out where I read about my inspiration source. Plus, I get a "brilliant" vote from Ken.....or was it NewHostaLady who got that cudo.....but we'll share and let it go.
Plus, Ken, I looked to see if I'd put the doxie girl in the frames, then realized that I'd created another Flickr album at the same time, and it was called A DOG'S LIFE....so Hooked looked at that betcha.
Speaking of my squirrel dog, probably the weekend following Thanksgiving will see the arrival of the new baby girl doxie, tentatively named Dolly. Our Dixie is not content being alone in her dogdom, she misses her older brother MoonPie, and won't leave me in peace. All my work outside being mostly complete, she demands my presence in the garden with her. First time she has shown this neediness. So we decided to find her a baby that she can identify with, looks just like her--she mothered my black and tan chicks too, instead of harming them. I expect the mother instinct to appear again with her baby Dolly.
moccasinlanding maybe what you are thinking of is Jeroen Linneman Zwolle, Netherlands, Europe. His nursery and web site is:
His plants and photos are top notch. I see he's just started adding more Hostas of the Day which is exciting. When you talked of many potted hostas in a small garden beautifully arranged I immediately thought of his garden. Check out the link below and follow it to other parts of his site.
I hope the link works. If not follow the menu on hostavalley site to Hosta pictures and below that to "more garden pictures"
Be sure and make each picture maximum size and follow the Verder at the bottom right to see more.
Sorry for confusing Ken but it kept him busy for a while checking out for Dixie. I just double clicked on one picture and up came a bunch more on flicker site so "snooped " though. Will be nice for her to have a friend of her own too. Ours have so much fun together hunting for the waldo(squirrel)
moccasin, get going on this add walls along your paths and buy a few hundred more hosta and pots.
Here is a link that might be useful: Walls of hosta in Hampshire
Moc-what a brilleant use of the concrete blocks and runners. Nothing could be simpler, as effective and easy to put up: Great job girl.
I'm newly into containers and as mine were going dormant they sat on the ground and the squirrels were tearing up the plantings. I read they are attracted to freshly turned soil. In the fall they raid where other squirrels have "planted" their walnuts to claim them for themselves. Les just harvested horseradish and replanted 12 crowns. In two days there were squirrel digs all around in the freshly turned dirt-but not by the crowns themselves.
It makes me wonder if a piece of horseradish in a hosta pot would keep the squirrels from digging. Wouldn't it be cool if it worked. In spring, repot the hostas and plant the sprouting horseradish in the horseradish bed.
The screen, NHL, is a very neat idea. Since I have taken the pots off of the ground it seems the squirrels are less interested. My pots are sitting for the time being on some concrete blocks in a large coldframe.
Off I go to get some treated lumber for runners, moc!
BKay, yes, that is the one I'm talking about. Since I saw no pictures of how he wintered over the pots, I made up a scenario for it. And voila, cinder blocks and timbers as runners, to keep from tearing down the wooden fence not intended to bear such weight as heavy flower pots.
Cheerio, Theresa. Wear some latex gloves when you handle the treated wood. The ones I got were freshly received and very heavy and wet, so I had to wear gloves dealing with them.
JonnyB, that Walls of Hampshire is exquisite and I suppose whether I like it or not, I'll keep expanding UP....no more room to spread OUT....except convert existing shaded beds to real soil planting space for the best of my hosta.
My "allee" will be called to duty later this winter when I make sure the fire ants are gone. They aerated several pots and the hosta roots dried out. Perhaps they will revive next spring, but those became dormant quickly.
Hooked, yes, Dixie will be happy to have another huntress to double-team those squirrels with her. At one time, I had three dachshunds; hilarious to watch them play together. They team hunted for rabbits successfully. And the male had a system for catching birds which came to his food bowl outdoors....he never ate them, just hid them in his bed where I smelled them after a couple of days. His treasures.
He was a throw-back to standard dachshund size, a real large hunting dog, but his favorite food was....ICE CREAM. The two girls liked liver and fish. Wonderful to have more than one, to see how they interact and relate to one another. I'm looking forward to Dolly's arrival. Hello, Dolly!....It's so great to have you back where you belong.
Her breeder sent this picture. Maybe the weekend after Thanksgiving, she will be eating entirely on her own and she can come live with sister Dixie.
BTW, the breeder has a stable and is bringing some bags of HORSE MANURE when she comes with Dolly. How nice. :)
Moc, I priced out some bamboo and it is rediculously expensive. PVC piping with fittings would be my choice. Painted green to make them look more natural. (???)
...or for the long term, grow some bamboo, but watch out the non-clumping stuff is very invasive......or if you know someone who has bamboo growing in their backyard....or....
Babka, that roll of hardware cloth is simple and straightforward, and where there is a covered area to eliminate "tipping" then this is a great solution. Methinks I have the hardware cloth already. So my larger pots that cannot easily tip will be housed elsewhere. We'll see where later. Fiddlededee, I'll worry about that tomorrow.
JonnyB, I have a stand of mature clumping bamboo at our river property, where our house was destroyed by Katrina. And, I have two young clumps here at White Dove.
My DH has some lengths of PVC about 2 or 3 inch diameter. If he has no use for it, I might find a way to utilize it with some shade cloth
No, McTavish, that wasn't the garden I referred to. It was a British garden, very small, selected this year as an official display garden, containers, and he used his fences for more growing space. It wasn't the Hampshire couple with the exploding garden. Or I don't think so anyway. I have gained inspiration from both sources though.
I do wish they'd show the display garden during winter dormancy though. MOST helpful to the increasing number of us growing hosta in containers.
Myrle, I love the way you and your sister mix ground plantings with containers. It serves to vary the heights of the garden, draw attention to special plants, makes garden ornamentation have functionality.
Moc, Dolly is adorable. I am so happy for you and Dixie. Last Sunday at church my girlfriend Kerry told me she had to put her dog-girl friend down. She was 12 years old. She said she didn't think it fair that parrots live to be 100 and dogs only 15 at best. You understand my personal reaction!
I fully relate to her loss, and your and Dixies gain. Enjoy!
Looking at babka's setup makes me think that if you set a couple of 4x4 pressure treated posts into the ground nice and level, then add a riser at the top of the posts...then screw in (3) precut pressure treated stringers (step supports, available at Home Depot....) then you can add either composite or PT stair treads to support the pots.
3-4 "steps" and you could hold a lot of pots. You don't need risers (back of step) as it is not going to be used as steps. A standard tread is about 10 inches wide which would hold a 10 diameter pot. You could make larger custom width stringers and put a standard composite tread in the middle of the space...or make stringers for shallower steps to handle smaller pots and save space or if you want to be real clever make the 'steps' larger and higher at the bottom to hold large pots and narrower and shorter towards the top for smaller pots.
In the middle of an area you could make steps that would be a pyramid shape with steps coming up both sides...or be absolutely clever and have the 'steps' coming up all four sides and have a sort of Machu Picchu hosta pyramid which would be a true centerpiece. Make a flat space on top for a nice plastic urn with Praying Hands or something on the top of the pyramid.
Oh man that would look so nice. Machu Picchu in the middle of the space and stands surrounding it all around the perimeter.

Consider an enterprise where you have heterogeneous applications, possibly delivered by different teams, that need to interact with each other but have the following constraints:
- Each application is not necessarily built using the same technology and might not talk to the others using its native invocation mechanism e.g., a J2EE application and .Net application.
- Preferably, each application shouldn't transform its requests into the format understood by the target application. Plus, the enterprise has many applications that use the target application.
- Service components should use an invocation or request mechanism that is natural to them. For instance, an existing J2EE application may take requests only via Java Message Service (JMS).
- The enterprise is moving towards an architecture where an application concerns itself only with, one, what it knows and, two, what it should pass as parameters when it wants to obtain the services of another application within the enterprise.
Other constraints might require you to have an infrastructure that enables heterogeneous applications to integrate seamlessly without altering their design. An enterprise service bus (ESB) is one way of realizing such an enterprise integration architecture.
Although each enterprise will likely create its ESB in its own unique way, it is important to keep flexibility in mind when considering the definition of an ESB. There's no fixed approach to building one. The idea is to have a connectivity layer that optimizes interactions between service consumers and service providers, one that can respond to event-, message-, or service-oriented contexts.
This article discusses an approach for building an extensible Java-based ESB that supports the most common ESB functional requirements.
Common ESB requirements
An ESB's common requirements are also its most commonly used features:
- Routing: The ESB should provide an efficient and flexible routing mechanism.
- Transformation: A service component shouldn't need to know the request format of the target service that it might invoke. Based on the requester and the target, the ESB should be able to apply the appropriate transformation to the request so the target can understand it.
- Multiprotocol transport: An ESB implementation that talks only JMS or only Web services is not of much value. It should be extensible enough to support multiple message protocols depending upon enterprise needs.
- Security: If needed, the ESB should enforce authentication and authorization for access to different service components.
Figure 1 shows an ESB's main architectural components. It has three broad compartments:
- Receiver: An ESB exposes different interfaces for allowing the client applications to send messages to the ESB. For example, a servlet could be receiving the HTTP requests for the ESB. At the same time, you could have an MDB (message-driven bean) listening on a JMS destination where client applications can send messages.
- Core: This is the main part of the ESB implementation. It handles routing and transformation, and applies security. Typically, it is composed of an MDB that receives the inbound requests and then, based on the message context, applies the appropriate transformation, routing, and security. Details about routing, transport, transformation, and security information can be specified in a XML document (discussed shortly).
- Dispatcher: All the outbound transport handlers come under this part of the ESB. You can plug any arbitrary transport handler (email, fax, FTP, etc.) into the ESB.
All of these ESB parts are glued together by an XML document that lists all the routes on which the ESB operates. The different transport handlers, transformers, and retry policies and their connection to different routes are all wired via this XML document.
The XML listing—ESBConfiguration.xml
, which appears below—gives us some idea about an ESB's workings. The main elements of interest in ESBConfiguration.xml
are the following:
: This element contains zero or moreBean
: This element basically defines the way we create and configure aBean
class. It has the following attributes:name
: Unique name that can be used to refer to this bean.className
: Fully qualified name of the bean class.
elements as children. EachProperty
element has an attributename
that identifies it and a child element of typeValue
that holds the property value. These properties are actually the JavaBeans-style members of the class that can configure the bean class.RetryPolicies
: This element contains zero or moreRetryPolicy
: This element defines the retry policy for a given route. It has an attributename
that can be used to refer to it. It has two child elements namedMaxRetries
: TheEsbConfiguration
root element can contain zero or more child elements of this type. It basically represents a route for the ESB. It has the following attributes:name
: Unique name that can be used to refer to this route.retryPolicyRef
: Reference to the retry policy. It should match theRetryPolicy
: Reference to a bean that represents the transformer. It should match theBean
element can have one or more child elements of typeTransportHandlerRef
. This child basically points to a bean that represents an appropriate transport handler that should be used for this route, and the public method name of that bean that should be invoked to send the message. Optionally, theRoute
element can have oneDeadLetterDestination
child that points to another route representing a dead-letter destination.
A sample XML document, EsbConfiguration.xml
, appears below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

ESB behavior
The ESBConfiguration.xml
document dictates our ESB's behavior. The EsbRouter
MDB loads this XML from a location specified in its deployment descriptor. The information it contains is then organized into a datastructure depicted in Figure 2 below.
The EsbRouter
uses this information (via EsbConfigManager
) to decipher the appropriate route, the transformation, if any, to be applied, the security authorization check, etc. The important point to note is the way the Dependency Injection technique, along with inheritance, has been used to decouple various functions (such as multiprotocol message transport and message transformation) of the ESB, thus allowing it to be highly extensible and customizable.
As the class diagram shows, two important interfaces are in the ESB design: TransformHandler
and TransportHandler
. They allow you to write a specific transformation and transport implementation for routed messages. These implementation classes can then be wired with the routes via Bean
elements in EsbConfiguration
. For example, in the sample EsbConfiguration.xml
document, the following bean definition specifies the transport handler:
<Bean name="creditJMSTransport" className="com.foo.esb.transport.jms.JmsHandler">
<Property name="ConnectionFactory" type="java.lang.String">
<Property name="Destination" type="java.lang.String">
This transport handler can then be referred to in a Route
node by inserting a TransportHandler
child to it like this:
<TransportHandler beanName="creditJMSTransport"/>
Note |
The approach described in this article uses Java interfaces for defining the transport and transform handlers. Thus, any new handler would have to implement the required interface, which might seem intrusive. You can easily modify the EsbConfigManager to use Dependency Injection for calling any arbitrary method of an implementation class, thus eliminating the need to implement an interface. But since the EsbRouter always passes a javax.jms.Message instance, your handler implementation class must use the type javax.jms.Message anyway. |
Now let's take a step-by-step account of the processing as it happens in the ESB upon receiving a message destined for a specific route (service or application). Let's assume, for the sake of simplicity, that the two applications interact via JMS.
- As per the deployment descriptor, the initial number of instances of
MDBs are created. - The
method is called, which, in turn, completes the following tasks:- Loads the
file from the URL specified in its environment entry namedjava:comp/env/EnvConfigUrl
. - From the
, it reads the location URL of theEsbConfiguration.xml
and parses it into anXmlBean
. - Creates and initializes the
instance, which involves creating and initializing all the beans configured inEsbConfiguration.xml
, and then populating the data structures depicted in Figure 2. - Initializes the
instance. (Details on this will follow shortly. For now, just assume it helps in making the ESB JMX (Java Management Extension)-enabled.) - When a service component needs to send a message, say M, to another one via ESB then it puts the JMS message on the ESB's input queue. This results in the invocation of
method. The following steps occur throughonMessage()
:- The destination route name R, specified in a property of the incoming message M, is read. The name of this specific property plus others that will be introduced later are configurable via
. - The
corresponding to the route name R is looked up from theEsbConfigManager
instance. - The requester is checked for whether it's authorized to send the message to the selected route. If it is not, the message is discarded. You can customize this behavior. For example, you can log the message to a special queue or page an administrator.
- If a corresponding
bean is configured, then it is looked up via theEsbConfigManager
instance and itstransformMessage()
method is invoked by passing the message M as an argument to it. - On each
obtained for route R, theEsbRouter
invokes thetransportMessage()
method, passing the input message M as a parameter. - If no entry is found in the
for the route R, then theTransportHandler
for the system dead-letter route is looked up. The message M is then sent to the dead-letter route. - Else, if the given route's handler is found, but the
fails to send the message or there's a system error, then message M is queued for redelivery. Queuing for redelivery involves the following steps:- The retry policy is looked up from the
for the given route. - Based on the retry interval in the retry policy, the next delivery time is calculated.
- This time is set as a property MessageRedeliveryTime on the message and it's sent to the redelivery queue.
- A separate redelivery request message is sent to the redelivery request topic. Redelivery request is a
that has aLong
object representing the next redelivery time calculated above as the payload.
- The retry policy is looked up from the
- The destination route name R, specified in a property of the incoming message M, is read. The name of this specific property plus others that will be introduced later are configurable via
- Loads the
Message redelivery: Scheduling and processing
On receiving a redelivery request message, the RedeliveryRequestProcessor
MDB creates a RedeliveryTask
instance. RedeliveryTask
is initialized with the redelivery time (specified in the redelivery request message as a Long
) and is scheduled via the RedeliveryScheduler
. The RedeliveryScheduler
is a singleton class that delegates the scheduling job to its associated java.util.Timer
(see the class diagram). The RedeliveryTask
's run()
method is called on the scheduled time at which it tries to receive a message from the configured redelivery queue. The receiver it uses has a message selector such that it picks only that message whose MessageRedeliveryTime property matches the scheduled time. This message is then sent to the ESB's input queue.
A redelivered message M destined for a given route R is processed as follows:
- The retry policy is looked up from the
for the given route. - A property holding the past redelivery attempts for this message is read from M. If there's no such property and the maximum retries is zero as per the retry policy, then the message M is sent to the dead-letter route and subsequent steps are omitted.
- Else, if the redelivery attempts for M exceeds the maximum retries allowed as per the retry policy, then M is sent to the dead-letter route associated with route R.
- Else
- The redelivery-attempts count is incremented by one.
- The next redelivery time is calculated based on the retry interval in the retry policy.
- Both the incremented attempts count and the next redelivery time are set as properties in M.
- The message M is sent to the redelivery route. For the redelivery route, the appropriate
is looked up, as usual, from theTransportHandlerCache
. - A redelivery request message is sent to the redelivery request route. This message contains just the future time (calculated in Step 2 as
) when the message M should be scheduled for redelivery.
- If any error has resulted in the redelivery attempt, then message M is sent to the dead-letter route associated with the route R. If the send to dead-letter route also fails for some reason, then M is sent to the error route. If the send to the error route also fails, then the transaction of
method is rolled back, which results in the message M being put back on the ESB's input queue.
Note |
We use a topic instead of a queue for sending redelivery requests because most J2EE containers do not provide the standard timer service, though they might provide their proprietary APIs to complete similar tasks. The ESB implementation described in this article uses the java.util.Timer instance wrapped inside a singleton to do the scheduling. So how does using a topic help? Assume we use a queue instead of a topic. Now think about a clustered environment to which you have deployed the RedeliveryRequestProcessor MDB. Only one of the managed servers in the cluster will receive the request message from the queue. If that managed server dies after scheduling a RedeliveryTask for execution at some future moment, then we might not be able to deliver it in time, which might cause it to expire. In the case of a topic, the request message is sent to all the RedeliveryRequestProcessor MDB instances in the cluster. So even if the managed server dies after scheduling a task, one of the rest will be able to execute it. |
In the actual deployment of an ESB, we would assign a common or separate consumer(s) (possibly MDB) for the dead-letter routes associated with each of the configured routes. Such consumer(s) will pick the messages from the dead-letter routes and notify the appropriate administrators or the applications who may be interested in these messages.
UML diagrams
The following UML diagrams depict the ESB's static and dynamic structure as well as various components:
Runtime management
A critical system like an ESB should be manageable and monitorable at runtime. Some of the operational tasks, such as updating or adding new routes, and applying the appropriate transformation, transport handlers, and retry policies, should be doable via a console. To allow such control of this article's ESB, some of its core components have been JMX-enabled, which exposes certain key attributes and operations for performing just these sorts of tasks.
The EsbRouter
and RedeliveryRequestProcessor
MDBs are JMX-enabled. For example, operations are available for:
- Dynamically updating the configuration loaded by the
- Capturing the throughput statistics
- Controlling the redelivery scheduler
You can add more operations if you need to control or monitor extra attributes.
Each organization has its own requirements for an enterprise application integration solution such as an ESB, and each is likely to implement it differently. Key to the success of an ESB implementation is a flexible design for customization and extension that doesn't affect existing parts of the whole system. The approach described in this article gives you a simple and extensible ESB design that caters to an ESB's most common requirements, such as multiprotocol message transport, routing, and transformations. Though the design described in this article doesn't use any Inversion of Control containers, it is possible to implement this design by using such frameworks as Spring.

Hawks - Rockets
Posted by
in lethalweapon3's Pre-Game Preview Blog,
03 March 2015 -
24 views
"What? But I was only trying to squash a fly!"
Ow! That's gotta hurt!
The Houston Rockets suddenly have to face the top team in the NBA, the Atlanta Hawks, tonight at the Highlight Factory (7:30 PM Eastern, SportSouth, NBATV) without the services of MVP candidate and NBA-leading scorer James Harden for the first time all season.
That's all because The Bearded One, while struggling for possession of a basketball, got just a little teste.
Specifically, Harden took a jab at the royal huckleberries of That Other King James, during Sunday's two-point victory over visiting Cleveland. Any attempt to go Roshambo, especially against one of the league's sacred cows, is usually enough to earn an NBA baller at least a one-game suspension. Harden got no clemency from the fine folks up in Secaucus.
Houston (41-18, 3rd in the Western Conference) will try to soldier on without either Harden (season-high 14 assists, but 5-for-16 FGs vs. ATL on Dec. 20) or Dwight Howard, who has missed over a month following a bone marrow procedure for his achy knee but should be returning soon. Winning big games without their star players ought to Harden the resolve of this shorthanded bunch, as they continue fighting for first-round homecourt advantage in the West.
The Rockets swept all five games during their Toyota Center homestand. But they get somewhat Mr. Hyde-y once they hit the road, where they lost their last two (at the Clippers before the All-Star Break, in Dallas after the Break). Opponents have averaged just 95.9 PPG in Clutch City (42.9 opponent FG%, NBA-low 28.3 opponent 3FG%, NBA-high 18.0 opponent TOs per game), but 103.9 PPG when the Rockets have to hit the road. Worse, Houston has allowed 110+ points in seven of their last nine road games, including each of their last four.
With mid-season newcomers Corey Brewer, Josh Smith (thought you were done seeing him, eh?), and K.J. McDaniels joining the defensively-improved Harden, scrappy point guard Patrick Beverley, Trevor Ariza and Dwight Howard, Houston (99.7 defensive rating, 3rd in NBA, just ahead of Atlanta's 99.8) has enough tools at full strength to shut anyone down. But the lax effort in away games has to be disconcerting for head coach Kevin McHale. Without Harden, will there be enough offensive Rocket-power to keep up for 48 minutes against a well-rested Hawks squad? If not, what can McHale do to keep his team locked in all night on the defensive end?
The top-two scorers for Houston entering tonight's contest are Ariza (12.6 PPG, 38.3 FG%) and Brewer (12.0 PPG, 42.7 FG%). Neither are great shooters, nor are Smith (44.2 FG%; 32.3 3FG%), Beverley (37.9 FG%, 36.0 3FG%), Jason Terry (41.2 FG%, 38.4 3FG%), rookie Kostas Papanikolaou (35.4 FG%, 29.8 3FG%), or newcomer Pablo Prigioni (40.9 season FG%).
The magnetic effects of Harden's offense and Howard's rebounding usually keeps the other Rockets' offensive flaws from being laid bare. With that duo sapping most of the usage out of the ball, Josh is in almost a perfect predicament, coming off the bench like Terry with very little pressure. Will Smoove (44.3 FT% in Houston) try to put the team on his shoulders and single-handedly carry them to victory with his offense? If he tries to go full Smoove, Houston will have problems.
Houston's offensive strength is the ability to avoid settling for inefficient mid-range jumpers. They're the only NBA team that takes less than ten mid-range shots (8.7) per game, just a little over half of the Hawks' 17.1 attempts (although, on an NBA-high 43.3 FG%, thanks to Al Horford) which rank 4th-fewest in the league. Instead, Houston lives at the three-point line, taking an NBA-high 6.2 shots from the left corner and a league-high 5.2 shots from the right, while only Golden State takes more shots beyond the arc (22.2 per game).
Still, their inefficiency in striking nylon can be a problem (22nd in 3FG% above-the-arc) when they're not able to get enough extra chances. During a 104-97 loss to the Hawks in Houston this past December, the Rockets shot just 15-for-43 from three-point range, on 17 more shots than Atlanta, and did not fare much better inside the arc. Every Rocket aside from Dwight shot 12-for-33 on two-pointers, including 4-for-16 in the paint beyond three feet from the rim. Getting eleven more offensive rebounds than the Hawks' four didn't make much difference.
As the Rockets' bombs are bursting in air, Kyle Korver, DeMarre Carroll, and Kent Bazemore must balance patrolling the corners with helping the Hawks' bigs seal the Rockets off of the offensive glass, particularly Terrence Jones and Donatas Motiejunas. After missing nearly three months to deal with nerve issues in his leg, Jones has worn off the rust and has his starting gig back, averaging 18.5 PPG (60.4 FG%), 10.5 RPG (4.8 offensive), and 2.0 BPG in his last four games. Motiejunas gained the trust of McHale and has moved from the starting power forward to center after Howard's injury. He has decent post moves (including a nice hook shot) but also likes to stretch the floor, averaging 15.0 PPG while shooting 52.8 FG% and 60.0 3FG% in his last three starts.
Hawks head coach Mike Budenohlzer's gambit paid off on Saturday, allowing Horford (17 points and 13 rebounds vs. ORL last Friday) some stay-at-home time while giving Jeff Teague, Carroll and Pero Antić time to rest their minor injuries. That gave Dennis Schröder (16 points, ten assists), Bazemore (15 points, 3 steals), and John Jenkins (12 points, 7 rebounds) time to shine as Atlanta kept Miami at arm's length right through the final buzzer.
Collectively, the guard trio sunk 6-of-8 three-pointers, and was more than enough to offset Dwyane Wade, a hampered Goran Dragic and an erratic Mario Chalmers. The gap could have been bigger if Shelvin Mack (0-for-7 FGs) had played within the rhythm of the offense. Perhaps most impressive was the way the shorthanded Hawks unit forced a season-high 23 turnovers out of Miami.
Teague (last six games, 40.0 FG%, 11.8 PPG and 5.5 APG) will seek out a measure of revenge against NBA All-Defensive Second-Teamer Beverley, who came from way behind to oust Teague with a three-pointer during the All-Star Weekend's Skills Challenge. Teague crawled out of his post-All-Star offensive funk with a strong second-half performance (17 points) to finish off the Magic on Friday. Atlanta will want "Teague Time" to start on-time in the first quarter and, unlike the Skills Challenge, to last all the way to the end. He'll need to make sound decisions coming off of screens from the equally-rested Horford and Antić.
Atlanta often comes out looking like they could use a SnickersTM when they get at least a couple of rest days. Dallas galloped to a 34-22 first-quarter lead on the Hawks (two days rest) last Wednesday, before Atlanta turned on the jets. Coming out of the All-Star Break, Toronto blew out the Hawks before seeming to fall off a cliff in the games that followed. Back in January, before the Hawks (two days rest) beat the breaks off Brooklyn, the Nets started out with an early 21-13 lead. The Hawks were running in mud against Milwaukee after the Christmas break, allowing 58 first-half points. And the Lakers rang up 67 first-half points on the Hawks (two days rest) in November.
Like tonight's contest, all of those games were at home. The three starters that benefited from sitting out the Orlando game are the ones who can set the tone early against Houston by controlling the pace and the ball (forcing more turnovers), and by taking saner shots, the latter of which shouldn't be hard to do against Houston without Harden around.
In Houston on Dec. 20, Korver (4-for-8 3FGs) and Carroll (3-for-5 3FGs), and even Antić (2-for-3 3FGs) had little problem getting shots off. Schröder (3-for-9 FGs while filling in for the injured Jeff Teague) and Mack (nine points and four assists) were able to drive and keep the defense honest enough that Beverley could not diverge to provide help with Hawks spread around the perimeter. A similarly-focused game with Teague back in tow would help swing the outcome once again in Atlanta's favor.
Let's Go Hawks!

Fight against Michael
When you are trying to open the boarded up windows, if you are far away from him he will do a long jump towards you. Then it takes him a few seconds to recover to attack. Before he jumps, do not stand in the yellow circles. Instead, stand next to the wall opposite the windows. He will now jump to there, recover, etc. While he is recovering, pull down the boards. When he jumps into the light, attack him. Keep doing this until his and his wife's life runs out to complete the level.

92Vectra1.6i 5pts I consult with the clowns at Consumer Reports when I want to buy a washing machine or toaster, but an automobile?? Not today. The current Fusion and Malibu models have both done well on J.D. Powers long term reliability ratings, and if I'm not mistaken, both have done well on Consumer Reports reliability rankings. Either one in four cylinder form will give their owners reliable, economical service for many years. The Camry and Accord are likely to give their owners many years of reliable service and are great choices for a family car, but some of us actually like to drive, and neither has any hope of enticing me (nor does the too soft Malibu) with their '70's Detroit style marshmallow rides and heavy understeer (the Honda has a crisper ride and handling set up than the Camry, but still has far too much plow when driven enthusiastically.
92Vectra1.6i 5pts I'd take a Subaru BRZ or STi over ANY current Honda automobile offering (the only Honda worthy of enthusiast consideration is a Civic Si and I simply can't stand the cheesy Jetsons dashboard) and take that "quality" Honda to school on the track !!
Logan 5pts Yawn. Toyota proved that the masses want boring cars, Honda is following in their footsteps to try to get the same success, Nissan isn't far behind. Mazda and Subaru are japanese companies that actually care about how a car looks and handles, they are much smaller companies, this shows boring is what the people want..
trs 5pts Toyota Camry and Honda Accord are the only 2 midsized vehicles that you should consider. All 3 of the Detroit brands rank poorly in Consumer Reports reliability rankings released a few months ago. At least this makes life simple. You only need to consider the Camry vs. the Accord when making your purchase. All the other midsize vehicles can be ignored because of poor Consumer Reports reliability rankings.
Goober 5pts The Goob is insanely excited at Honda's new styling direction! Imagine it, the return of the porthole window!
Ryan 5pts zzzz....fail again for Honda. Give me a new Fusion over this anyday. While Ford gets better Honda gets worse.
DonNottsofast 5pts The vtec website has some grainy spy interior shots of this car. It looks like the interior has gone upscale with TSX like gauges where the needle doesn't have a fulcrum. The buttons look more Acura to me as well but the picture is tightly focused on the steering wheel and guages. Theres also a button at the end of the turn signal the looks like lane departure warning.
Vinnie 5pts Honda makes dependible cars......unfortunately they have nothing I want to buy anytime soon. I currently have a S2000, but currently looking for the next fun car ... Bring on the next S2000 and have at least 330 hp and I will be the first in line....... I worry about the next NSX...how do they justify the projected price of 120K if it is not better or faster than the current Nissan GTR. Yea yea it will have better interior, etc.... but is itgoing to be much better? I hope so.
NapalmX 5pts I hope the new accord should have the following: -- Keep the Double Wishbone in the front, Independent Multi-Link rear for comfort and the great driving dynamics. Don't you dare put McPherson Struts in front. -- Aluminum: body panels, unibody, any metal parts in the seats, and any metal parts beneath dashboard should be replaced by aluminum. -- 60/40 rear seat fold for more flexibility -- Inside the trunk, further back needs to be wider like a VW Passat. Those big lumps from the inner rear wheel arches must be shrunken down, to me it looks like tonsils, so the trunk gets a larger cargo capacity close to 16.0 cu. ft. -- In the trunk where you have the opening that enables you to slide long objects through when the rear seat is folded down, it should be wider. -- The dashboard should not have hard plastics, soft touch is needed. -- insulation to cancel out the road and wind noise. -- If you plan to have IPod/Pad/Phone connectivity integrated in the Accord, please leave it as an option. There are some people who don't care for an Apple product. Having that type of tech in the car might be worthless and make the car a little more expensive. Well, that's all I can think of.
Tyler 5pts That breifly crosses my mind... briefly. You could wrap a brand-new Civic in that camera-confusing motif and the automotive press would be calling it the early refresh of the current civic!
Steve 5pts That's only on I4, and it also has a 6 speed manual. V6 has 6 speed auto and 6 speed stick.
kedst1 5pts Amen. Honda (And Acura) have lost it style wise.I'm getting older and there's nothing in their line up I want to drive, now that they've ruined the Civic, its hard to walk on a Honda lot if you want something that looks a little sporty.
kedst1 5pts You have to be kidding me. I have a 94 Accord that has 256K on it and I push this car hard. I've made some upgrades but the engine is original. Come here to Pittsburgh to a car meet and most of the cars you will see are Honda's. It's amazing that the perception of "foreign" car owners is that of ignorant robots. It's just the opposite.
PapsHartley 5pts Anyone speaking about Honda quality is one of very little knowledge. Say what you will about how boring they are but the quality is still amazing as is the reliability.. No one in there right mind would ever choose a suburu over anything since toyota took the small stake in them. Take about hohume styling.
BEvanS600 5pts Someone FINALLY put projector beams in on the accord. I was so pissed when they weren't put on to the new CR-V, it just looks cheap without them. I hope those aren't LEDs that I see on the front of the sedan.. I will cry.
Steve 5pts Like I said in the Ferrari Enzo spy shots, why doesn't Honda make the test mule the current gen body with the new internals. It would avoid all the test drivers from giving you the finger.
Steve 5pts In 5 years it will be the exact same generation after the refresh, so yes, it will look must the same.
Elrojo 5pts Don't get your panties in a bunch I'm talking about Honda vehicles in general. They are getting to comfortable sitting on they laurels and tend to neglect their products. For example the new Civic was subpar with what Honda stands for just ask their CEO since he apologized for it publicly. And how about the new CRV with the same outdated engine and transmission or the Insight with mpg that's a joke compared to their rivals. I'm not passing any judgement as of yet on the new Accord because these pictures don't tell the whole story but it looks they are folowing in the footsteps of their cousin Toyota in becoming bland. Once again I don't hate Honda and I own one as of right now but if they don't look to change twards the future me personally I'll go look somwhere else for my next car.
chimp 5pts what part of this upcoming accord sounds very outdated to you?? granted, the current one is a bit outdated.. but as far as the upcoming one, what sounds outdated?? what, do you want a twin turbo on a factory honda accord?? that ain't happening on any car in the accord's segment..
chimp 5pts well, you can still consider honda if you want excitement.. just the old honda, that's all.. S2000 son or the Acura NSX.. old school honda had some nice ass cars.. oh or you could just look at their motorcycle division.. those things still kick ass.. CBR1000 RR aka ass whippin on two wheels..
BLACK METAL 5pts Gee pal, don't shit on yourself.... But tell me. When is the last time you heard a Honda owner refer to their car with a name of affection? Gm, Dodge,and Ford fans do it all the time and religiously stay on top of their cars. My 1972 Nova with a supercharged 454 is called 'BLACK METAL'. I can't stand to drive it dirty and check the motor out a lot. My neighbor has a 1975 Honda that looks like shit and isn't as well maintained and still keeps going after 300,000 miles with the same never been rebuilt motor or tranny. I think that's something for the books. I agree with you on proper maintenance helps life expectancy, my point is that from what I see, Honda seems to stand up to more punishment. Now excuse me. BLACK METAL is going to the drag way tonight to kick some import ass. See ya on the road pal.
BLACK METAL 5pts Yeah, people should consider some other brand if they want excitement. Nothings more exciting than being stranded on the side of the freeway calling a tow service to come get you while you wonder if someones going to crash into your car.... I hear GM and Dodge are very exciting to own.
himoses 5pts A car is nothing more than a mode of transportation. Hondas require every bit as much of maintenance as most Big Three vehicles. Don't change the oil on a differential? You will have problems. Don't change the oil? Your engine will turn into a solid block of aluminum/steel/iron. Forget to change your tranmission fluid? Your Honda transmission may blow before a Big 3 comparable model. All cars require maintenance and Hondas are no exception and are not abused any more or less on average than any D3 or J3 cars. My family has owned 1 Honda and it has been without any major repair. It sounds like crap, but it runs fine. I have had similar experience from Ford, GM, and Volkswagen. The lowest cost of ownership I experienced was from my first year Ford Focus.
BLACK METAL 5pts Amen. There are a lot of old Hondas on the road and they are not owned buy enthusiast that keep up with their cars like Big Three owners do. Most Honda owners treat their cars like appliances, and they still keep running on. That says a lot about Honda reliability.
Kyle 5pts Honestly, this is going to be a big change for Honda. The back end looks really good. Also if I'm not mistaken I see LEDs in the taillights. I own a 2009 Accord EX-L and I love it and get compliments on it a lot. I have a blast driving it, it's fun to blast through corners and the V6 has PLENTY of get-up-and-go. For the price of this car, the driving dynamics compare to more expensive car, and you know what? My 2 Hondas in the past have given me NO problems and have easily gotten past 200,000 miles.
Bennichen 5pts Go to Google type "2013 Accord" and see it now ; it is dark gold in color,, I think it looks like the Horrendous twin of the Crossturd. Honda take this tip.. FIRE YOUR ARTIST!!! AND hire a good , western designer
Elrojo 5pts Like I said earlier in my comment they will buy anything as long as it has a Honda logo on it. That's why Honda won't do anything about their cars because of people like you! Welcome to the iphone generation!
himoses 5pts Don't worry. Honda will just add some bling on the lower fascia and add some Crosstour and CR-Z influences and fix the Accord.
DonNottsofast 5pts I was going to jump on the Honda hate bandwagen but I still think there is still a lot of Honda magic in many of their cars. The Accord, CRV, Pilot and Odyssey still have the tailored interiors, good looking seats, good driving dynamics and have doors, switchgear and cubby bins that operate with that well oiled honda feel. I still think they are the gold standard of mainstream cars when it comes to thorough engineering but their new car launches aren't anywhere near as exciting as they used to be.
Elrojo 5pts So that's it then? They build a reputation and now they don't have to worry about quality, outdated engines (trannies)and bland looks, because let's face it who needs all that if you have reliability. I don't hate Honda but please wake up and start competing again because even though I owned a few Hondas you can count me out for the next car.
Algreat1 5pts SO FUNNY HOW HATERS TRY SOOOO HARD TO CHANGE OUR MINDS ABOUT HONDA & ACURA. A TRUE FAN STICKS WITH A BRAND NO MATTER WHAT. YOU TROLLS ARE NOT CHANGING NO ONE'S MIND, WE ARE NOT GONNA BUY TOYOTA, CHEVROLET, FORD OR HYNGAY. HONDA WILL ALWAYS BE THE BEST.
btc909 5pts I want to write this car off because of the CVT but I will give it the benefit of the doubt. CVT's have improved quite a bit in the last few years alone.
MrDisco 5pts All I want from the new Accord Sedan: 1. sound deadening material to bring it on par with a Camry (or dare I dream luxury car db levels) 2. a dashboard that is simple to use in the dead of winter with gloves on 3. comfortable seats that don't feel like someone is kneeing me in the back. 4. build and material quality to justify the Honda premium That's it. I don't care about gadgets. I don't care about cutting edge styling. I just want a reliable, quiet car that is easy to use and maintain.
ChineyWhale 5pts I have a 2009 Honda Accord Coupe EX-L v6 and I still get compliments on its style. I am also happy they aren't drastically changing the style because it'll keep my car looking fresh, I know I would be pissed if I was drinving the curren Fusion, b/c the new one is going to make the current one look instantly dated! Additionally I think it helps keep Honda's resale values high. Honda is offering newer tech with this 9th Gen....a plug in is a big deal!
Gyraf 5pts It would be really funny if these were just a couple of guys with Accords who put some camo on to mess with people. That's probably wishful thinking, though.
Iny 5pts It's called reputation and they earned it. If this car was to be badged as a Chevy, would people flock to it? No way!
soothsayer 5pts Though Honda has been extremely underwhelming of late ,the new Accord is going to be a homerun,just wait and see.....

It's not uncommon for breastfeeding mothers to adjust their diets to ensure sound nutrition for their babies. But how about for a baby's dairy intolerance? Best Food Facts reached out to Dr. Ruth MacDonald, PhD, Iowa State University, to find out how common it is for newborns to experience or quickly outgrow a dairy intolerance and what role mom's diet plays.
Have you ever noticed that a can of soda or a sports drink has the ingredient Brominated Vegetable Oil (BVO), listed on the label? Recently, PepsiCo Inc. announced it would stop putting BVO in Gatorade, but the product is still in many drinks, like Mountain Dew.
We contacted Dr. Keith Schneider, Associate Professor, Food Science and Human Nutrition, University of Florida, to find out a bit more about BVO.
Earlier this year, headlines broke the news about horsemeat being passed off as beef in Europe. This European horsemeat scandal had U.S. consumers wondering, "Should we be worried about this? Could horsemeat make its way into our food without us knowing it?"
Not to worry, says Best Food Facts expert H. Scott Hurd, DVM, PhD, Associate Professor of Veterinary Diagnostic and Production Animal Medicine, Iowa State University. On a recent episode of The Dr. Oz Show, Dr. Hurd said, "There's not a chance it could happen in the United States."
We've been noticing several posts about artificial sweetners in diet soda on Facebook, and wanted to know - is it true? Is diet soda bad for you? Or is it OK to drink diet soda?
For the answers, we reached out to Dr. Barry M. Popkin, W. R. Kenan, Jr. Distinguished Professor, School of Public Health, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
Recently, Best Food Facts launched a series of videos about GMOs, which spurred many questions. One question that seemed to be on everyone's mind was the differences between organic and non-organic food. One viewer asked, "Is non-organic food full of chemicals?"
To answer this question, we reached out to Dr. Ruth MacDonald, Chair and Professor of the Department of Food Science & Human Nutrition, Iowa State University.
Wondering how to maximize the life of the food you buy? Check out this handy chart from Lindsay Snow Osborn that incorporates recommendations from the USDA, FDA and others!
Milk is making headlines these days, thanks to a proposed amendment to change milk standards. So, what exactly is being proposed?
An ongoing Loma Linda University research effort seems to suggest just that. Best Food Facts asked Wendy J. Dahl, PhD RD FDC, who teaches in the Food Science and Human Nutrition Department at the University of Florida, about the research.
Dr. Herbert Aldwinckle, professor emeritus at Cornell University's Department of Plant Pathology and Plant-Microbe Biology, has been studying apples for four decades. We spoke with him about all things apples and what's on the horizon – including the development of an apple that won't turn brown.
Recently, The Dr. Oz Show aired an episode that addressed the "Secrets of the Fast Food Industry." We had some questions about the episode, so we reached out to Dr. Sean O'Keefe, a food science professor at Virginia Tech. Dr. O'Keefe originally helped us answer questions on Why Doesn't Fast Food Spoil? Below, Dr. O'Keefe has much to say about the episode and its inaccuracies.
Take our latest poll - How often do you eat fast food?
Have you heard the theory that placing an onion next to your bed will keep you from getting the flu? Are you curious if onions absorb bacteria? Do onions help combat the flu? Will an onion turn black after attracting all of the bacteria? Do onions have powerful antibacterial, antiseptic properties?
We stumbled upon a Facebook post about onions curing the flu, and wondered many of the same questions. We had to find out if it was true, so we reached out to Ruth MacDonald, PhD, RD, Chair and Professor of the Department of Food Science & Human Nutrition at Iowa State University.
We're all looking for a cure for a cold and what better to fight it than a nice hot bowl of chicken soup? But will it really fight off what ails you? We wanted to get to the bottom of the age-old question to understand whether chicken soup really cures a cold. To help decide whether chicken soup is the go-to solution, we reached out to Wendy Dahl, PhD, RD, FDC, Assistant Professor of Food Science and Human Nutrition, at the University of Florida.
Recently, we noticed a news story that questioned the safety of food dyes. We've read other articles, too, about food dyes linked to ADHD.
Best Food Facts wanted to know, is food coloring safe? To answer this question, we reached out to Dr. Ronald E. Kleinman from Harvard Medical School. When we asked him whether we should avoid food coloring, he said no... but that doesn't mean further research isn't warranted.
Are you concerned about food prices? Last year, we looked at how drought affects food prices, and unfortunately, many parts of the United States are still experiencing drought conditions. On average, Americans spend about 10 percent of their income on food, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. But what affects food prices each year? To answer this question, Best Food Facts reached out to Dr. Marc F. Bellemare, Assistant Professor, Sanford School of Public Policy, Duke University.
