Guess i'll just use the u3 then. I dont think i can hear much different from coax input 24/192 compared from usb 24/96.
I'm trying not to stretch my 1500usd budget, so any unnecessary items must go.
Hey Mad Lust!
First, thanks for the in-depth guide of this topic.
I'm very interested in buying a gaming headset (or w/ souncard) so my googling brought me here. Sad to say the choices of headphones/soundcard here are limited, not to mention my budget.
Anyway, I'm currently eyeing on the Siberia V2 analog + budget sound card (xonar d* series maybe). Is that combination good? Or do you got something else on your mind. My budget would be about less than $130 for a headphone + soundcard combo. I'd be very much happy if you'll help me out on this one.
The Xonar U3 should be able to drive headphones up to 150-Ohm, so 40-Ohm and 42-Ohm should work, but the U3 is not something that will bring out a headphone's best.
I would think at least using a Schiit Magni or O2 amplifier plugged into the U3 would, would help audio quality.
Even better, a FiiO E17 or Audioengine D1 optical connected to the U3 would help audio quality.
If I build a pc later early next year, are there any point for getting an internal soundcard if I already have the U3? Since for pc surround gaming, U3 is basically more than enough.
Maybe for music benefit, with coaxial/optical output (24/192) from the sound card, rather just from USB (24/96)
Get a Xonar DX or D1 sound card (used, $60) and a Schiit Magni, $99 or O2, $119, headphone amplifier.
As these head amps have an output impedance of less then 1-Ohm, they are a better option over internal sound card, as the lowest impedance possible (currently) for an sound card is 10-Ohms.
The Creative Sound Blaster Z (SB1500), $100, comes with a way better DAC feature (CS4398) and a more powerful headphone amplifier, then the U3.
Repost from Nameless PC Gaming Thread
PC True Audio, PS4 True Audio, Xbone's SHAPE similarly to use. Talk about REAL hardware accelerated audio explosion. The future can only be bright.
What is True Audio?
I think the next gen consoles have the cheaper wm8768 7.1 wolfson dacs http://www.wolfsonmicro.com/products/dacs/WM8768/
I think the next gen consoles have the cheaper wm8768 7.1 wolfson dacs http://www.wolfsonmicro.com/products/dacs/WM8768/
It's not bad though.
Still could be considered an entry level audiophile DAC :]
Some of these boards come with the same type of chips, but I am not 100% sure the exact boards..they don't say what chips they use!
U3 it is...
Anything partially dedicated >>> Realtek XXX :/
That is unusable for HPs... Yuck...
I'll get a cheapo Audio GD/Fiio/X Dac/amp unit down the line... again :P
The PX5 DSS is very good in that aspect for consoles :]
Thanks for all the reply.
If I want to buy a soundcard, I just want to spend 50usd max. However, if its just benefit to gaming, then I just use the U3. If it also benefit to music, I will consider it.
I already got my own Amp/Dac, Aune X1 mk2.
No to Amd gpu, I got experience with amd notorious driver problem I will go with GTX 770
If I want sound card, I prefer internal...
Thanks for the recommendation.
Many thanks for the reviews! This thread helped me out a great deal.

On Zion's Mount: Mormons, Indians, and the American Landscape tells the tale of a beloved mountainous landmark and a disregarded lake. Jared Farmer's penetrating and sweeping gaze invites readers to view connections between land, landscape, and peoples that have remained, like Poe's purloined letter, hidden in plain sight. Farmer's story of "Timp" relates directly to the story of Indians native to the land and Mormon settlers who became "neonatives," in part by creating a significant landmark in Timpanogos and seeing imagined Indians while forgetting and displacing Utah Lake and real Indians. By illuminating these interwoven narratives with interdisciplinary research involving history, folklore, popular culture, and studies of place, Farmer cannily crafts a plea for recognizing homes and landmarks as signs of society and indicators of forgetfulness. He admits that his story of a lake and a mountain in Utah involves unique features but is not an anomaly in the colonization of the United States, where landmarks are created, imagined, and venerated with little awareness or consideration of historic events and displacements. As much a book about usable pasts as about American landscapes, On Zion's Mount argues that this story and these landscapes matter because "what we see affects what we do." The unspoken plea in Farmer's closing call to move the love of the mountain down to the lake is for greater environmental and cultural awareness through more attuned historical understanding—with a hope to connect what we do, perhaps, more fittingly with what we believe.
In addition to presenting thought-provoking awareness of landmarks as a combination of natural, historical, and cross-cultural features and processes, Farmer writes with fine craftsmanship and abundant care in structure and style. The book is divided into three major sections, capturing the author's commitment to regional, local, and extralocal history and storytelling. An informative introduction establishes the juxtaposition of the lake and the mountain within the time frame of "the nineteenth century, and for untold ages before," while also engaging the scholarly discourse of landmarks, space, place, and the geographic practices of colonization.

generating a set of bingo cards by the CBS, wherein each bingo card is a unique card;
distributing a deck of the bingo cards from the CBS to the CBGC, wherein the deck of bingo cards is a subset of bingo cards;
randomly selecting one or more bingo cards from the deck and distributing the one or more bingo cards to one or more BGCs;
distributing one or more bingo cards to player terminals in response to player input;
generating a ball sequence by the CBS, wherein the ball sequence comprises a plurality of balls that represent a letter-number combination;
determining and transmitting an appropriate ball sequence, comprising an appropriate number of balls in the ball sequence, to the plurality of CBGCs which, in turn, transmit the appropriate ball sequence to the respective one or more BGCs; and
presenting one or more balls from the appropriate ball sequence on the player terminal.

3. The method of
transmitting the appropriate ball sequence to the plurality of CBGCs which, in turn, transmit the appropriate ball sequence to the one or more BGCs, which, in turn, transmit the appropriate ball sequence to player terminals on the private network of each BGC;
determining a game outcome by mapping the ball sequence to the bingo card that is being played on the player terminal; and
presenting one or more entertainment images corresponding to the game outcome on the bingo card.

6. A method of simultaneously providing a plurality of different types of bingo games over a large area, the method comprising:
providing a gaming system comprising a central bingo server (CBS) operably connected to a plurality of central bingo game controllers (CBGC) that are operably connected to at least first and second bingo game controllers (BGCs), wherein each CBGC is a standalone system and controls a respective one of the different types of bingo games, wherein the first and second BGCs are not connected to any other CBGC, the first and second BGCs being operably connected to respective pluralities of player terminals via corresponding first and second private networks, respectively, and each player terminal is connected to only one BGC, and the player terminals present one or more bingo games;
generating a set of bingo cards by the CBS, wherein each bingo card is a unique card;
distributing one or more bingo cards to player terminals in response to player input;
generating a ball sequence by the CBS, wherein the ball sequence comprises a plurality of balls that represent a letter-number combination;
presenting a bingo card on a first player terminal;
transmitting a portion of the ball sequence to a BGC connected to the first player terminal which, in turn, transmits one or more balls to the first player terminal; and
determining whether one or more balls forms a winning outcome on the bingo card.

1. Field of the Invention
This invention pertains generally to gaming systems. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method and apparatus for playing multiple, different parallel bingo games over a very broad physical area using single centralized draws.
2. The Prior Art
Classical prior art bingo games are completely manual, encompassing physical balls in a cage with a mechanical selection means or a �blower� type selection means. After rotating a cage containing the balls, or blowing the balls in an enclosure, a ball is blown into a separate holding area or mechanically rolled into a separate holding area; that ball is then picked up and read (�called�) by a ball caller. Each ball in the cage or enclosure is marked with a letter and number (i.e., �N 42�), where the letters are one of B, I, N, G, O, and the numbers are between 1 and 75.
Each player plays one or more BINGO cards. Each BINGO card has 5 rows and 5 columns. The columns are labeled from left to right with the letters �B,� �I,� �N,� �G,� �O� across the top of the card. With the exception of the center space which is considered a free space, the spaces in the card are printed with numerical values as follows: each space in the �B� column contains a non-duplicative number from 1-15; each space in the �I� column contains a non-duplicative number from 16-30; each space in the �N� column contains a non-duplicative number from 31-45; each space in the �G� column contains a non-duplicative number from 46-60; and, each space in the �O� column contains a non-duplicative number from 61-75. The balls discussed above are numbered in the same fashion (i.e., �N� balls are numbered from consecutively from N-31 to N-45).
Players, sitting in front of the ball caller, mark a square on their bingo cards in accordance with the called balls. Typically, players use a dauber (a larger colored ink marker), thus the action of a player marking their cards is called daubing. Players are responsible for recognizing when they have won one of several pre-designated winning patterns. One of those patterns will be called the winning pattern or BINGO pattern. The first player to get the overall winning pattern on one of their cards is the winner of that game, and the game ends. An example of a winning pattern might be 5 adjacent squares in a row or column. After the pattern is reached, any prizes or awards are given out (including those awarded or won by people who made other patterns that did not end the game, such as �four corners�). Player purchase new cards and a new game begins.
Bingo games have been automated in several ways over the years. One automation technique is to automate the ball draw and ball �call� (the ball caller is replaced by a large screen showing the balls as they are electronically drawn), while the cards and daubing remaining manual. Another is the use of a handheld device which enable players to buy bingo cards, have them be displayed on a screen, and electronically daub the squares corresponding to drawn balls. Finally, there are bingo game that are run entirely electronically, with a bank of machines in a casino or bingo hall connected to a common Floor Game Controller or Remote Game Controller. Players indicate which game they want to play (choices are typically made based on the amount bet), and when there are enough players the game begins. The balls are drawn electronically, and the drawn balls shown on each player's machine. The player typically pushes a button to electronically daub their cards as balls are drawn. The first player to daub (manually or automatically) the game-ending pattern wins, and a next game is ready to play.
The problem with existing bingo games, including manual, semi-manual, and existing electronic implementations, is that they do not enable a bingo game to be played across wide physical areas. This limits the number of players playing any one game and consequently limits the prize amounts. In addition, there is a limitation of playing a single bingo game from each set of drawn balls. There is a need to provide a significantly larger coverage for individual bingo games, enabling more players to participate and larger prize amounts to be awarded.
The invention provides a method and apparatus enabling a single centralized system to play multiple simultaneous different bingo games using a single ball draw over an extraordinarily large area (i.e., the continental US), thus enabling large numbers of player of a large area to play the same games, further enabling larger prizes to be available than previously possible.
One embodiment has one central bingo system and a plurality of central bingo game controllers (CBGCs), where each CBGC controls at least one bingo game controller (BGC) and its particular bingo variants. The central bingo system distributes master ball draws to the CBGCs, and allocates electronic bingo card ranges to CBGCs from a superset of non-repeating cards. The CBGCs will typically be reasonably close to the central bingo system and connected by a LAN, will use the first n balls of the master draw as required by the game they control, will distribute the n balls to each BGC (which may be a significant physical distance from the CBGC to which it is operably networked, e.g., 1000's of miles), and will allocate electronic bingo card ranges to BGCs from it's set of non-repeating cards. The BGCs will distribute n balls to each player terminal or bingo electronic aid attached to it, will distribute groups of cards to bingo electronic aids, will activates cards for play as players elect to play, will play cards to detect possible bingo winning events comprised of predetermined patterns on bingo cards, will have the capability of alerting its CBGC of a potential bingo (winning event), and will receive from a player the player's signal or indicia that the player has recognized the winning event and has caused the machine to recognize it, and in such cases where that is required (i.e., in cases where winning bingo events are presented to a player in alternate visual forms, such as simulating a horse race or simulating a reel slot game), the BGS, electronic bingo aid, or CBGC will generate the alternate visual form corresponding to that winning bingo event.
Persons of ordinary skill in the art will realize that the following description of the present invention is illustrative only and not in any way limiting. Other embodiments of the invention will readily suggest themselves to such skilled persons having the benefit of this disclosure.
Referring to the drawings, for illustrative purposes embodiments of the invention is are embodied in
The current invention comprises a networked bingo gaming infrastructure that enables a single central bingo gaming machine or machines to run a plurality of bingo games which may be at a plurality of physically disparate sites, using one or more ball draws for all games, specified subsets of games, or for each game. The present invention also enables the creation of alternative displays of a winning bingo event, where the results of a bingo win or other bingo game state are shown in a manner that has the visual appearance of a sports event, a gaming machine, or other interesting representation.
An infrastructure in accordance with an embodiment of the invention is shown in
CBS 102 is typically a data processing device or computer operably configured to support the computing requirements of a centralized bingo device, and having well-known-in-the-art hardware components including a CPU, memory for the CPU, and I/O interfaces including, but not limited to, keyboard, disks, and operating system such as Microsoft's� NT� or Linux, and at least one network interface in operable communication with network 106. Network 104 is shown as a cloud to represent any combination of LAN, WAN, or perhaps Internet connections needed to transport data to from CBS and Central Bingo Game Controllers (CBGCs) to the Bingo Game Controllers (BGC) at local sites. It may be the case that network 104 and network 106 are the same network, depending on the installation. CBS 102 also has the software needed to run bingo games as described herein, the software being operably disposed within the CBS.
Also shown are several CBGCs, indicated generally as CBGC 112 representing standalone systems and connected via network 106 to CBS 102. In another embodiment, the CBGC 108 is implemented as a software component inside of CBS 102. one embodiment, each CBGC is a standalone system, and controls the bingo games (types of bingo games) allocated to it. The CBGCs are typically in close physical proximity to CBS 102, at a central location, indicated by dotted line box 110.
Each CBGC is assigned one or more Bingo Gaming Controllers (BGCs), where the assigned BGC is only controlled by that CBGC and no other. The BGCs are located at remote sites from its assigned CBGC, covering any physical distance and in operable communications over network 104. As mentioned above, network 104 may be any type of operable network connection, including any combination of LANs and/or WANs, including making use of the internet, with the present invention fully contemplating that BGCs may de distributed throughout the United States.
Each BGC is operably connected to local bingo electronic aids (BEAs). BEAs are typically connect to a BGC via a serial connection. The present invention fully contemplates the ability to use any networked connection, with another preferred embodiment being an ethernet-based LAN.
There is at least one ball draw to play one or more bingo games, which may be carried out in ball drawing device 100 or internally at CBS 102. At least one set of bingo cards is also created (in this case, electronic representations of bingo cards), where each card set is further divided into decks, with decks being kept (stored electronically) and distributed by CBS 102 may also be the case that the software used to generate the bingo card sets, and then divide them into decks, also runs on CBS 102. In one preferred embodiment, one deck at a time will be electronically sent (they may be simply assigned and then drawn from, but this would only be an embodiment for less physically disparate installations) to a designated CBGC. The decks are selected by either a random method, a predetermined method, or by the type of bingo games that are being played by the individual bingo game machines controlled by each CBGC. After the card decks are distributed and available to the CBGCs, the CBGCs further distribute cards to the individual BGCs under their control. BGCs enable individual cards to be played by individual bingo electronic aids (BEAs), where there may be more than one card allocated at a time to an individual machine to be played by a player, depending on the bingo game being played and the amount the player has purchased.
Reference has been made to different bingo games. Although the �traditional� bingo card is a 5�5 matrix, any size card may be coupled with any set of pre-designated winning patterns, in addition to having different bingo games having different sets of pre-designated winning patterns. For example, it would be entirely possible to have bingo games played on 2�2 cards, although it would not be very interesting to most players.
In any case, different games may require a different number of balls to be drawn. Note that the ball draws may be handled differently to conform to jurisdictional requirements. For example, if it is decided that the bingo games must be played in real time, without any electronic device (including the central server) determining ahead of time if there is a winning bingo card and who has it, the ball draw may be made by electronically drawing a complete set (all 75 balls referred to as a �draw sequence�), and that draw sequence then being sent to each CBGC.-Alternatively, a ball draw could be created where the cards in play are compared to the ball draw, and the ball draw sequence stopped when it is known there is a winning card. Which is chosen will also be determined by how the player bingo terminals (Bingo Electronic Aids, or BEAs), run by the BGCs, are implemented. If the daubing is not automated, then there is a possibility a player will be a �sleeper�, that is, someone whose card is a winner but missed marking a ball or two, thereby enabling another player to win bingo first by being the first to declare a win. In that case, since the mere existence of a winning card is not enough to determine a winner, the entire ball sequence will be generated. If the BEAs are auto-daubing (daub the squares on a card corresponding to drawn balls without player intervention), then the ball draw sequence can stop as soon as it is determined there is a winning card. All such variations are fully contemplated by the present invention.
After the start of a game, it is possible using the present invention to have a single ball draw run multiple games. This is shown in
Individual bingo player or playing stations are shown and indicated as BEA 218 a through BEA 218 x. Any number may be present. A typical player terminal will have high-resolution video monitors and I/O devices, including but not limited to touch screens, buttons, keyboards, ticket printers, network interfaces, and electro-luminescent attract panels, and are not limited to one form factor. These components are operably interconnected to perform the functions needed of a BEA.
One aspect of the current invention is the ability, using the displays of the BEA, to generate alternative displays of any and all bingo results. This would be particularly useful or enticing when presenting the results of a game such as �bonanza bingo�, where the ball sequence is typically presented at a single time (the entire draw sequence at one time) and mapped immediately to a card. Alternatively, a linear mapping of each ball (letter-number) in a sequence may be mapped as they are made available onto a card purchased by a player. The card may or may not be displayed on the screen as the balls are mapped to the individual squares of the bingo card�this display or non-display of the card as it is being filled in or marked off electronically may be up to the player. Once the results of the game being played are known, the player may choose, or the system may choose, to represent the outcome in a form other than the traditional bingo card, called entertainment images (EIs).
EIs are generated such that they match the value of the bingo game just played, but are symbolically represented in a form the player chooses. One such EI would be a slot machine, where the EI shows a typical slot machine that has stopped (or is stopping and then stops) such that the payline(s) on the reels have a value equal to that of the bingo game just finished. Another could be a poker hand or a sequence of hands, again resulting in the same value as the bingo game just completed. Another would be a sports event, where the results of the winning bingo game are appropriately mapped into a winning sports event and graphically displayed. Numerous similar EIs will readily come to the mind of a person of ordinary skill in the art and with the benefit of the present disclosure.
Thus, the present invention allows for multiple bingo games to be played simultaneously using the same ball draw in a manner that will be entertaining while retaining the essential characteristics of bingo games, and further permitting the player a choice of output forms.
Entering decision point 302, the central system (alternatively, the system designated to create the ball sequences in communication with the central server) determines if a full or partial ball draw is to be made. This determination can be made on numerous criteria, including if the player terminal connected to the BGCs use automated daubing. If they do, the ball draw can be tailored to the exact number needed for the winner to be declared, by comparing the results of the randomized ball draw with the cards that have been bought by players. There are other cases where it may be decided to use full draws, even if the BEAs use automated daubing. Another case would be where there is enough of a delay in network 104 of
Whatever criteria are used (performance, jurisdictional requirements, etc.), the full criteria set being represented by decision point 302, a decision is made if a full or partial ball draw is made for the bingo game play. If a full ball draw is to made, the �No� exit is taken to box 304. The actions corresponding to 304 are that an entire ball sequence is created, long enough to cover all outstanding games (games in play). Box 304 is left and box 306 is entered. The ball draw is sent to the CBGCs to the BGCs. Box 306 is left and box 308 entered.
The action corresponding to box 308 are the player purchasing one or more bingo cards at the player terminal (BEA), thus enrolling the player in the current bingo game. Although shown as occurring after the ball draw, in many systems these activities happen either in parallel, or the players enroll by buying bingo cards after which a ball sequence is (or may be) generated. All such variations in sequences of events are fully contemplated herein, and all are supported by the disclosed bingo infrastructure.
After enrolling, box 308 is left and box 310 is entered. The actions corresponding to box 310 are those associated with a player playing a bingo game, watching the ball sequence appear before them on their BEA, or an a display screen visible to the players at a particular site. The player indicates to the BEA or player terminal when the balls are to be daubed. Play continues until a player declares themselves to be a winner, where box 310 is left and box 312 entered.
312 corresponds to the actions of having a player indicate to the BEA or player terminal that they have a winning bingo card, or, if a winning bingo ball is daubed, the BEA indicated to the BGC that the player has a winning card. The BGC checks to see if this is correct (i.e., do the balls called or sent correspond to a winning bingo card currently being played by the player), and if so, halts the game. Awards are made, and box 312 is left for box 302, beginning the play sequence again.
If, at decision point 302, the ball draw sequence will be only carried out until it is determined that a winning sequence has been generated, the �Yes� exit is taken to box 314. The actions taken in 314 correspond to those needed to generate a ball draw sequence that results in a winning pattern on each of the games being played, using the cards bought or to be bought. Box 314 is left and box 316 entered. The actions corresponding to 316 include distributed the short ball sequence to the CGBCs, and then to the BGCs. Box 316 is left and box 318 entered. The actions corresponding to box 318 are those of a player purchasing bingo cards, and the BGC providing them to the BEA. As discussed above, this action may have occurred much earlier than shown in the illustration. Continuing on with 320, once players have enrolled in the current bingo game by buying bingo cards, the balls are illustrated in some manner on the BEA, with any winning patterns being shown on the bingo card or alternative display.
In overview, one embodiment includes one CBS, a plurality of CBGCs, where each CBGC controls at least one BGC and its sub-game. The CBS distributes master ball draws to the CBGCs, and allocates electronic bingo card ranges to CBGCs from a superset of non-repeating cards. The CBGCs use first n balls of the master draw as required by the game they master, distribute the n balls to each Bingo Game Controller, and allocates electronic bingo card ranges to BGCs from it's set of non-repeating cards. The BGCs distribute n balls to each BEA attached to it, distribute groups of cards to BEAs, activates cards for play as players elect to play, play cards to detect possible bingo (winning events), have the capability of alerting its CBGC of a potential bingo (winning event), and receive from a player the player's signal or indicia that the player has recognized the winning event and has caused the machine to recognize it, in such cases where that is required (i.e., in EI situations there may be some bingo play where the player does not need to explicitly or manually indicate a winning event, rather, the BGS or CBGC does it and then generates the EI corresponding to that winning event or bongo event).
In another preferred embodiment, bingo games can be played with paper or with a BEA, either simultaneously using the same draws or separately using independent draws.
In another preferred embodiment, bingo play, such as Bonanza, wherein cards and draws are predetermined prior to sales and distribution, simultaneous manual and BEA play could operate. In a real time draw/display simultaneous play could also operate and/or the BEA could also operate a faster draw game.
As introduced earlier, once a game outcome is determined in terms of the amount won, a display outcome can be reverse mapped into a display image that correlates with an award paytable (such as Double Diamond) to provide enhanced player entertainment. By initiating the animated display sequence (such as an animated reel spin). In response to the draw request the entertainment display proceeds while the draw process and communications are completed, and the final display symbols are mapped into the ending display sequence. (Additionally, portions of the outcome can be allocated for secondary award or bonus display sequences.)
The results of the draw(s) can be simultaneously displayed on the same display device or can be displayed on a separate display device on the BEA.
In some variations, game can be played with paper or with BEA, either simultaneously using the same draws or separately using independent draws.
In a bingo play, such as Bonanza, wherein cards and draws are redetermined prior to sales and distribution, simultaneous manual and BEA play could operate in a real time draw/display simultaneous. Play could also operate and/or the BEA could also operate a faster draw game.
Once a game outcome is determined in terms or the amount won, a display outcome can be reverse-mapped into a display image that correlates with an award paytable (such as Double Diamonds) to provide enhanced player entertainment. By initiating the animated display sequence (such as an animated reel spin) When the draw request occurs, enables the entertainment of display to proceed. While the draw process and communications are completing, mapping the final game display of cards and draws can occur at general levels of network hierarchy, such as a remote site, local central computer or at game cluster levels. Card selection could occur at the BEA level (from a predetermined set).
Since the probability for some defined sequences, such as the first five draws resulting in an ordered bingo is extremely low (about 1 in 2 billion plays) this can provide for a lot of game draws against pre-selected card sets before a game is computed. This can provide for very high jackpots such as $10 million for 25% card with a 2% progressive fund contribution.
Also, additional game variety can be provided by offering several game types from the same draw, each having variations of lower pay award sequences (such as a �b� or an �o� in a corner).
Further enhancement to game variety occurs with games that use a predetermined number of balls per draw, such as 5, repeated until the game is complete. This provides a large variety of combinations and is very fast. It is possible to have multiple games operating off the same draw cycle each using different sub-sets of the draws (such as the first five, the first ten, the first twenty and so on) to operate a larger variety of game pay award combinations.
Although the description above contains much specificity, the description should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention but as merely providing an illustration of the presently preferred embodiment of the invention. The scope of this invention should be determined by the appended claims and their legal equivalents.

question about cold hardy hibiscus and gardenias and camellias
Again, I'm learning how to garden in zone 6 instead of our previous home in socal in zone 9. big differences!
my mom has hibiscus planted in her yard that is cold hardy. she said my aunt's friend had it and they both took part of hers. they have no idea where it came from. but she's had it for 10 yrs and it lives through every winter. looks like dead branches, but then comes out in gorgeous huge blooms.
does anyone know where I can buy this kind of hibiscus? the ones I've noticed in local nurseries are only cold hardy to something like 20 degrees. definitely not suitable for planting in zone 6.
also, I love gardenias. we had tons in california. but again, they were fine for zone 9. I remember seeing a show on HGTV that mentioned gardenias that could handle temps down to 0 degrees. Again, does anyone know where such a gardenia could be purchased, whether online or at a local nursery?
finally, camellias. I had a few gorgeous camellias in pots in california and we brought them with us. I thought they should have been protected from the freezing temps but my husband thought otherwise. (his green thumb in california is slightly less green here, obviously, as he gets used to the climate change.) they're apparently dead now. anyway to confirm that for sure? I snap a branch and it is dried up and dead looking inside. and then, is it possible to grow camellias here and leave them planted outside? or are they to be treated as an annual or put in pots and moved inside during the winter?
thanks again for everyone's great help. I appreciate it so much.
I grew up in Cincinnati and I'm sad to say I've never heard of anyone growing either camellias or gardenias without a greenhouse. Sniff, sniff. I love those flowers!
We do have two winter-hardy hibiscus to choose from, tho'-- Hibiscus moscheutos has flowers the size of dinner plates on large, sprawling bushes that die back to almost nothing in the winter and are slow to come up in the spring. They come in pale yellow, white, pink, burgundy and purple, with swirls, stripes and double petal varieties, and they're hardy to zone 5a; well north of you!
In the height of summer they look a lot like the tropical H. rosa-sinensis you're probably used to in zone 9.
The other hardy hibiscus we have here is H. (or Althea) syriacus, commonly called Rose of Sharon, and forms a 10-12' tall shrub that self-seeds like a banshee if it can. It's a great old cottagy plant, with flowers 3-4" across. Usually either lavender, pink or white, with a maroon "eye", there are also double varieties, ones with varigated leaves, and sterile plants. I really recommend you try to get the sterile varieties unless you're trying to fill a lot of space!
Rose of Sharon is also hardy to zone 5a or even colder with proper siting. It drops its leaves in the winter, but the shrub still stands skeletal. I have several that I trained like trees that are now (4-5 years) about 10-12' tall. In the summer I train clematis and other vines to scramble up the branches. If only it had a scent it would be perfect!
alison is right that the Hibiscus moscheutos is more like what you grew in CA. There has been a lot of hybridizing and the varieties have grown quite a bit. The first link is a general article, the second link gives you an idea of one variety that is available:
Cold hardy camellias are now available, although the selection is much smaller. The link to my response to another KY gardener's question is below.
Gardenias probably are iffy, even in your warmer part of zone 6. With some TLC you might be able to pull it off, but I think container gardening would be safer.
Here is a link that might be useful: Cold hardy camellias
thanks for all the info. I'll go check out those links.
I remember rose of sharon. we had those lining our backyard fence when I was growing up. they are pretty but I love the larger size of the hibiscus. my mom's are also platter-sized - absolutely stunning.
thanks! and I'm so sad about the gardenias. I guess my camellias really are dead. :(
Hardy hibiscus such as "Copper King" do well for me (these are not woody but herbacious). They are very slow to awaken, but take off like gangbusters when they do.
I hate Rose of Sharon because it is sooooo weedy. It self seeds like everything and you don't get the real vivid colors like you can in the hardy hibiscous.
Welcome to Zone 6!!
Hardy Hibscus sometimes gets nipped by "wind burn". You might want to keep that in mind when placing it. If it's in a wind tunnel between a house and garage it might not do as well as another site. Some named varieties are: Dixie Belle, Flare (very new so may be hard to find) and Crimson Wonder.
My Rose of Sharon have only ever throuwn me 1 volunteer but my neighbor has one that gives me several each year. I don't like her bloom colors so I just rip them out.
While you lose camellias in zone 6 you gain peonies!!
Happy Gardening
Hi kygirl, I live in northeast ohio and have a burgundy hardy hibiscus. Dinner plate size blooms. Gorgeous! It dropped seeds last year and they sprouted. The largest one right now is about 4 inches tall. I think it will need a little more growing time before it can made the trip in good condition. But if your willing to try I'm game.
This is the mama.
I also grow camelias- I live in Louisville. I have them in a protected corner next to the house. So far, they've done pretty well. I originally planted 5 in 2003, have lost one; not due to winter, due to poor drainage, which I've corrected. I LOVE the large flowered, spring blooming varieties, but in my garden the fall blooming ones do a lot better.
hey kygirl, I also have a camellia, red white, and lemon yellow hibiscus. The yellow hibiscus is supposed to be hardy in z 8, but sprouted back from seed here even after our tough winter. I even also had a trunked palm growing outside for two years until I killed it by wrapping it with plastic. I was hoping to keep it dry, and only caused it to rot. (I'm such an idiot :() so, the Ohio Valley is not such a bad place to try and grow beautiful plants!
Hi KY girl,
Are you still looking for a cold hardy gardenia, I know its been several months since you posted this, but in case you haven't found one, I just purchased two from Lowe's. Its "Miami Supreme" variety and the tag says although not to 0 degrees but hardy (20 to 10 degrees). If you go to this website:
Click on plant search and type in L7109, under the plant tag code number and it will give you some of the plants specifications, I know it's not zero degrees but might work out for you if you cover them really well when it gets below 20.Or pot them up and bring them in when its below that. But then I live in Florida and lucky for us it never gets that cold.
These are my very first gardenias, so I am really new and have been reading all I can on how to take care of them properly.
Good Luck!

Annual 'Differences Day' Celebrated At Middle GateFriday, March 13, 2015 at 9:20 am

Everyone loves bacon, or at least every real American does. But I found this video that shocks you that bacon is actually pretty terrible for you. After watching this video, do you still want a thick slab of bacon?
This idea smells like it could be a winner.

Sticky situation with furniture buying Feedback Please!
Objective advice is needed! Fall 2009 I requested pricing on some pieces from one of the major players in NC. I couldnÂt make up my mind on the pieces and fabrics (IÂve made a few mistakes in my time), so in December Â09 I called a local design firm. He drew 4 or 5 rough floor plans and had some great ideas. He also pulled a few (10-20) fabrics. I am using one of his floor plans (1 long sofa, four chairs, large ottoman). The sofa and two wing chairs are ones that I looked at and had priced before I met with him. I spent a couple of mornings (w/out assistance) in his shop picking about 30 fabrics. He helped me narrow it to the final 5.
Short version  I had pricing on most of the pieces I ended up choosing before I met with him, so I know the comparison. Total package locally $9992 + tax. Total package from NC $8067 (includes delivery, + tax).
No I donÂt want to cheat him. I like him, his service and would like to use him in the future; however $2000 is $2000. Scenarios going through my head Â
1. Â First choice is that he comes down a little on price. If I paid him $1000 more than the other bid, I would be ok with it. IÂd guess heÂs spent about 5-6 hours on my project. My issue - are designers completely offended when this is brought up and will it be awkward from here on out? (would love feedback on that one) If thatÂs the case, I should have just gone with the other company.
2. ÂSecond choice is purchase the most expensive piece (sofa) from him, remain silent and get the chairs from NC. The spread on the sofa is $700, so he would be compensated.
3. Â Compensate him for his time and go with the lower bid (really, really donÂt want to do this)
Any other ideas are welcome and needed! Really want feedback if itÂs worth my time to try to negotiate price with him. I donÂt want to seem like a cheapskate. THANK YOU
When you first met with him, was compensation mentioned?
I can't think a pro would spend six hours and not have an idea how he was going to be paid.
Also, it might be a good idea to cross post this on the Home Decorating forum. There are a few pros, and plenty of other people, with experience in these matters.
Thanks --I will post this in the Home Decorating forum. Compensation was mentioned at the initial meeting and I was only advised that the service was no charge as long as an order was placed. He carries brands such as Century, Councill, Hickory Chair, Sherrill, etc.
I think the only true options you have are (1) and (3).
The one thing that should've been specified at the beginning was the fee the designer would charge if you chose not to buy from the shop. At this point, I wouldn't hesitate to ask him or her now what that charge would be.
Good luck!
Give you designer the opportunity to compete with the price from NC. If he is a professional in the business for a few years he has experienced it before.
One thing you really need to think about is the justification in your mind that it was a couple of mornings, 10-20 fabrics, few hours, etc. More or less the idea that it wasn't that much time. Think of it this way - I went to the doctor and he spent 15 minutes with me and it cost a lot of money. I'm not really paying for the 15 minutes, I'm paying for the years of education and practice that came before that 15 minutes. The reason he could do your lay-out and fabric selection in a couple hours and you couldn't is the same reason I cannot diagnose my own health problems. I'm not educated in that field. Your paying for all the time he put in before the day you walked in the door and you are taking his ideas and putting them into practice.
Just be honest with him just as you were here. You will pay a premium but not as much as it seems to be. I think he will agree.

Welcome to the Spring Creek Coalition Website!
Mission: to unite as citizens and actively engage in the preservation of the Spring Creek Watershed.
Call for 2015 Dues and Donations
Please renew or donate. Click here to see how.
Thank You, Industrious Tree Planters! Trees are Important to Our Watershed
Trees provide a welcome buffer for a stream. Along with brush and grasses, they increase water quality by filtering sediment, unwanted nutrients and pesticides from run-off before it enters a stream.
Trees help stabilize the stream bank and prevent erosion. They serve as habitat and wildlife corridors in primarily agricultural areas. And they provide cooling shade over the water for fish and other aquatic animals.
Eleven hard-working helpers came out Saturday, March 28, and planted 140 fast-growing cypress and sycamore trees along the banks of the Maag property on Spring Creek. We couldn't have done it without you.
It was a beautiful sunny and fresh spring day. The work was rewarding, the creek was running high, and we all enjoyed being outside on such a fine day.
The Spring Creek Coalition has now planted some 2,600 trees throughout the years in the Spring Creek watershed.

Spurs vs. Heat Point Spread & Prediction from Alex Smart: March 31st 2015
San Antonio Spurs vs. Miami Heat
Prediction: Under 195 points (March 31st 2015)
Atlanta enters this game having kept three of their L/4 opponents from scoring more than 88 points. I feel with their play off situation resolved , a hardcore defensive posture will begin to take center stage with the post season fast approaching. The Hawks know the Pistons like to run, so will do their best to control the pace of this tilt. Also despite of liking a faster paced game plan, Motown has played some decent defense overall of late with only two teams eclipsing the 100 point plateau against them over a 8 game span. Their offense during a current run is scoring 106.6 per game , which is 8.8 ppg above their prior average, and Im betting the Pistons come back down to the mean average , which should not have them eclipsing the 100 point plateau. HC VanGundy of the Pistons has pulled the reigns back on his squad, in the past and is 37-15 UNDER as coach when his team goes on a scoring rampage , hitting 100 or more points in 4 straight games, with the average combined score of the folliwing game clicking in at 194.1 ppg. It must be noted that Atlanta, is among the league's leaders with 97.1 points allowed per game, and have allowed the Pistons to average just 91.3 ppg and just under 40 percent shooting in three earlier meetings.

I expected the color to match my tan interior but it's much darker than expected. Overall quality is good though.
Reviewed By Reginald D (Melbourne, FL) Reviewed for a 2013 Ford Edge —1/3/2014 11:51 AM
We love the looks & quality of the canine cover. The only thing I would do to make it perfect would be to add a strap on either end at the bottom to hold the cover down taut. When our two dogs were on it we noticed that the cover can ride up & I feel that it could be easily corrected so that doesn't happen. That would get me to give you a 5 star rating across the board. Other than that we are very happy with it so far, only time will tell now.
Reviewed By Judy B (West Paris, ME) Reviewed for a 2013 Ford Edge —12/6/2013 3:36 AM
Our labs love this cover. We installed this in the rear of our Ford Edge SUV with ease. The quality of the fabric is great and certainly was the ticket we needed to keep the dog hair from getting embedded in the carpet, and seems tough enough to keep toenails from ripping it. It also adds a much needed layer of warmth from the cold Maine weather for our aging dogs. The only negative comment is that it needs to be about an inch wider in order to fully cover the cargo area.

New Jersey Copes With Cold Consequences

New Jersey woke up on Tuesday to the coldest weather in 20 years.
If you woke up this morning and you were surprised to feel on how warm it was outside, you're not alone. Don't get too comfortable, it's going to get cold fast!
Snow that gave New Jersey a challenging Friday morning is giving way to frigid temperatures.
New Jersey is ready for a wintry double shot of snow and bitter cold that starts the New Year.
Snow is falling in north and central Jersey with making for another wintry day.
New Jersey is still in line for more snow starting late Monday night into Tuesday morning.
Plows, salt, sand, shovels and lots of bread and milk are standing by as central and north New Jersey endures another snow storm that will last into Sunday morning.
New Jersey will get a blast of winter weather on Saturday with snow and a wintry mix as the expected snow totals and advisories are extended.
In case you haven't noticed, winter is in full swing. It's safe to say that with either snow or ice, we tend to be a bit adventurous. Maybe too adventurous.....
Watches and warnings from today's snow have been canceled as the storm moves away.
As we get set for a second round of snow storms, here are the latest school closings and delays....
