From: Libertyville, IL
Region: Midwest
Topic: Plant Identification
Title: Fringe tree appropriate for Libertyville IL
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:I live in Libertyville Illinois and admired a fringe tree on the Biltmore Estate. Are the weather & soil conditions conducive to having a fringe tree in this area?
Boy, common names are hard on Mr. Smarty Plants. We went looking for a "fringe tree" and found not one, not two, but three.
There is a tree native to North America, Chionanthus virginicus (white fringetree); however, it is not native to Illinois. This USDA Plant Profile on the plant shows that it does not grow in Illinois at all, but does grow in some states around it. This tree grows 15 to 30 ft. tall, has high water use, and prefers loose, moist, sandy, acidic soils. It blooms white April and May, needs some shade and is hardy from Zones 3 to 9.
From Floridata, Lorapetalum chinense also turns up when you Google "Chinese Fringe Tree." Belonging to the family Hamamelidaceae or witch hazel family, it is native to China, Japan and India and hardy from Zones 7b to 8a.
This article from the Mercer Arboretum by Peter Del Tredici and Jianhua Li on Chionanthus retusa gives information about this native of Korea, hardy from Zones 5 to 9. It is of the same genus, Chionanthus, as Chionanthus virginicus (white fringetree), but is not native to North America.
So, which one did you see, and would it grow in the farthest northeastern county, Lake County, in Illinois? According to the USDA Hardiness Zone maps, Libertyville is located in Zone 5a (average annual minimum temperatures of -20 to -25 deg. F).
We looked up the Biltmore Estate, and learned it is located near Asheville, NC, in Hardiness Zones 6b to 7a (-5 to +5 deg. F). Going just by the Hardiness Zones, either of the members of the Chionanthus genus would do fine there, but the Lorapetalum chinense would be marginal. Using the same measure, both of the Chionanthus genus would be okay in your location, but we still don't know why none of them grow in Illinois. Since they grow as near to Illinois as a few counties in Southern Missouri, you would think birds would have carried seeds to northern Illinois.
In answer to your question: "Are the weather & soil conditions conducive to having a fringe tree in this area?" Weather, yes, although the non-native to North America, Chionanthus retusa, would be marginal. That leaves us wondering if the soil in your area is not hospitable to the Chionanthus genus. Since we have no way of determining what your soil is like, we would suggest you contact the University of Illinois Extension Office for Lake County IL . They may very well know right off the bat what your soil composition is, and could help you make a judgment on whether or not it was worth it to try to amend the soil (if that is possible) or make whatever other alterations might be necessary.
We just want to remind you that this is why the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center is dedicated to the use, care and propagation of plants native not only to North America but to the area in which the plant is being grown. Your chances are a lot better with a plant that is actually native to your area, and that native plant should need less fertilizer, water and maintenance.

Raheem DeVaughn - Text Messages
Artist: Raheem DeVaughn
Producer: Starmakers Production and SymFonikz
Album: Love Behind The Melody (Re-Release)
Avg Rating: 3.5 ( 40 votes )
For years now, the predictable "re-release" has helped artists to achieve an RIAA certification that their originally-released project could not attain on its own. Following in the footsteps of recent re-releasees Rihanna and Chris Brown, neo-soul singer Raheem DeVaughn is hoping that his repackaged effort will help reinvigorate his always-growing but unresponsive fan base. Kicking off Love Behind The Melody (Version 2.0) is the relatable (and super-duper trendy) single, Text Messages. Singing in 'shorthand format' and using popular lingo like "LOL", "ASAP" and "XOXO," DeVaughn manages to soulfully capture how impersonal our communication has become. While the singer claims his inbox is 'completely full,' look for production team the Starmakers to experience that same fate as Text Messages goes on replay all summer long.

This culture is obsessed with sex. Even burger ads sometimes use sex to sell their product. Pornography is rampant. Gender confusion rules the day. Some even want laws to let men use the ladies' room. And if you are a pastor and don't agree, they may subpoena your sermons.
Tragically, the church is not immune from sexual problems. Every so often another prominent minister falls publically because of private sexual sin. Dr. Mark Laaser of faithfulandtrue.com says pastors can be vulnerable because of loneliness: "The ministry in whatever denomination or form is sometimes a very lonely profession."
He notes, "Fantasy is the cornerstone of sexual addiction. All sex addicts and all people who get into trouble with adultery, to a certain extent, have problems with fantasy. Fantasy is an attempt by addicts to heal any woundedness of their spirit. So if they're lonely, they're going to find a fantasy that helps them feel a lot less lonely." more >>
I attended Catholic school for one year as a child. My second-grade year in Philadelphia's St. Athanasius left me with a strong sense of the mystery of the church. The most mysterious space there was the confessional booth. I wasn't allowed to enter because I wasn't Catholic, so I just sat and watched others enter with pinched brows. Then they would exit with peace painted over their faces.
There is a scene in the book Blue Like Jazz where author Donald Miller sets up a confessional box in the center of the Reed College campus. But Miller's confessional worked in reverse. Students of Reed, which is known as the most liberal campus in the country, entered the confessional booth with curiosity, cynicism, skepticism, or worse—to disprove this thing called Christianity. But what they encountered upon entry was disarming—even healing. Rather than prompts to confess their sin, Miller sat on the other side of the veil and confessed of the sins of the church. This was a revolutionary act in the context where, according to Gabe Lyons and David Kinnaman's modern classic, UnChristian, the general consensus about Christians is decidedly negative.
The authors of Forgive Us: Confessions of a Compromised Faith (Zondervan, September 2014) took Miller's cue. We thought: What if the church at large began to own its sin and confessed it to the world? And what if we took those confessions and worked them out through active repentance? more >>
After spending a decade on the phones counseling depressed, down, and suicidal people I have come to the conclusion that suicide (in some form) is a thought all men have pondered.
From "I wish I wasn't here" to "everybody would be better off without me" to "I want the pain to end", all men have wanted dramatic relief at some time in their lives. Unfortunately, while more women attempt suicide, it's men who are more successful taking their own lives. It's the final step in the plan for destruction, set in motion by our enemy. All too often, the thoughts, circumstances, sadness or brain trauma that lead up to suicide, get suppressed momentarily, only to be resurfaced more effectively.
Hope gets lost. The decision of self-demolition ensues. Yet…There is hope, and there is life. It's just one call away. And, it comes with a promise. The key word to remember is "yet." more >>
South African Olympian athlete Oscar Pistorius was sentenced to five years in prison on Tuesday for unintentionally killing his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp in an incident on Valentine's Day 2013. The Paralympic sprinter, who in September was cleared of murder charges, was also handed a three-year suspended sentence for a firearms charge.
"It would be a sad day for this country if an impression were created that there is one law for the poor and disadvantaged, and one law for the rich and famous," Judge Thokozile Masipa said as she read out her decision. She added that it was difficult to arrive to a decision that was "fair and just to society and to the accused."
The 27-year-old athlete wiped his eyes as he listened to his sentencing, before being led to the holding cells beneath the High Court in Pretoria, Reuters reported. more >>
This column first appeared on Live Action News.
Earlier this month, Jennifer Lawrence's exclusive cover story with Vanity Fair hit the stands. The popular Hunger Games' star speaks openly about the Internet scandal involving the stolen nude photos of her. She calls it a "sex crime," and says that anyone who purposely looked at the photos of her is guilty.
Lawrence is right that, just because someone is a public figure, it doesn't give the general public – or anyone in particular – a right to view stolen photos of them. more >>

Lake Norman producing as others drag
Lake Norman again appears to be producing perhaps the most consistent fishing action in the Carolinas.
Hybrids, white perch, catfish, largemouth and spotted bass have hit well during the past few days. Very little activity is taking place on the other lakes, typical for this time of year.
Along the coast, Tropical Storm Cristobal passed far offshore, but it created seas so rough that fishing generally has been disrupted. Conditions are expected to start improving by Friday.
Lake Norman : Excellent lake-wide for catfish, mainly blues, taking cut baits from very shallow water to about 20 feet deep. Good for largemouth and spotted bass on Zoom artificial lizards in dark colors and spinnerbaits cast to wind-blown points and docks with deep water nearby. Hybrids suspended over humps on a variety of trolled lures and shiners. Schools of white perch 25 feet deep in the coves.
Lake Wylie: Fair for catfish on drift-fished cut baits.
Mountain Island Lake : Fair for bream and catfish.
Rankin Lake, Gastonia: Bream and catfish on traditional baits.
Union County lakes: Small crappie at Cane Creek Park on minnows. Slow to fair for bream and catfish at the others – Lakes Lee, Monroe and Twitty. Only fishing from the shoreline is available at Lee as the water level has been drawn down for work on the dam and the boat ramp isn't in use.
Yadkin-Pee Dee River lakes: Best bet continues to be fishing at Badin and Tillery for white perch, locally known as Waccamaws. They're hitting Ice Flies either jigged or bounced along the bottom when schools are located, usually 20-30 feet deep. Fair bream and catfish are being caught at all lakes, from High Rock downstream through Tuckertown, Badin, Tillery and Blewett Falls.
Lakes James, Rhodhiss, Hickory : Relatively little activity reported except for fair nighttime fishing for crappie at James with minnows.
Fontana Lake : Continuing slow for all species.
Lake Wateree : Fair for largemouth on deep humps, ledges and points, mainly on artificial worms.
Lakes Thurmond, Murray: Slow.
Santee Cooper Lakes : Slow in the main bodies of Lakes Marion and Moultrie, but fairly good for largemouth in the Cooper and Santee Rivers below the dams.
Lake Hartwell : Fair for largemouth on soft plastic lures worked around humps and old growth along the shoreline on artificial worms.
Lake Keowee: Small catfish 40-60 feet deep on traditional baits, including chicken livers and crawlers.
Lake Jocassee : Fair surface feeding on the points in early morning and late afternoon by largemouth and smallmouth bass.
Outer Banks : Nags Head area: Seas are running too rough to fish; Oregon Inlet: No activity because of unfavorable sea conditions, but good for billfish, dolphin and yellowfin tuna to 60 pounds before the blow. Good for red drum in the backwaters; Hatteras Island: Little activity because of high seas; Ocracoke Island: Little activity; Morehead City area: Improving before the rough conditions for king and Spanish mackerel around the artificial reefs and wrecks. Heavy rain and the resulting influx of fresh water temporarily slowed the red drum bite in the Neuse River and Pamlico Sound.
Southeast Coast : Good for reds in the backwaters and Spanish mackerel along the beach when weather and water conditions are favorable. King mackerel at Christina's Ledge and wahoo farther offshore. Fair blues, Spanish mackerel and spots at piers.
S.C. Coast: Little River area: Scattered croaker, pompano, spots and a few keeper-sized flounder; Grand Strand area: Very good offshore for blackfin tuna, king mackerel, sailfish and large wahoo when sea conditions are favorable. Cobia, king mackerel, spadefish and Spanish mackerel at the artificial reefs. Blues, ladyfish, pompano and whiting along the beach. Scattered blues, flounder, pompano, Spanish mackerel and whiting at piers; Charleston area: Scattered dolphin, sailfish and wahoo offshore. Fair to good for reds in the backwaters; Beaufort/Hilton Head area: Little activity.

Simulating the collapse transition of a two-dimensional semiflexible lattice polymer.

[Hide abstract]
It has been revealed by mean-field theories and computer simulations that the nature of the collapse transition of a polymer is influenced by its bending stiffness epsilon(b). In two dimensions, a recent analytical work demonstrated that the collapse transition of a partially directed lattice polymer is always first order as long as epsilon(b) is positive [H. Zhou et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 97, 158302 (2006)]. Here we employ Monte Carlo simulation to investigate systematically the effect of bending stiffness on the static properties of a two-dimensional lattice polymer. The system's phase diagram at zero force is obtained. Depending on epsilon(b) and the temperature T, the polymer can be in one of the three phases: crystal, disordered globule, or swollen coil. The crystal-globule transition is discontinuous and the globule-coil transition is continuous. At moderate or high values of epsilon(b) the intermediate globular phase disappears and the polymer has only a discontinuous crystal-coil transition. When an external force is applied, the force-induced collapse transition will either be continuous or discontinuous, depending on whether the polymer is originally in the globular or the crystal phase at zero force. The simulation results also demonstrate an interesting scaling behavior of the polymer at the force-induced globule-coil transition.

Elastic behavior of ring polymer chains
Yu Shen

[Hide abstract]
In this article, the conformational properties and elastic behaviors of ring polymers in the process of tensile elongation are investigated with the Monte Carlo method and the bond fluctuation model. The ratio of the mean-square diameter to the mean-square radius of gyration increases with the elongation ratio, λ, and the instantaneous shape of ring polymers is more symmetric than that of linear chains in the process of tensile elongation. Here for ring polymers rather than the mean-square end-to-end distance for linear polymers is defined as the average of squared distances between two segments separated by N/2 bonds, where N represents the total number of bonds. Local quantities, that is, the mean-square bond length and the mean bond angle <θ> increase with λ, especially for short ring chains. The and have the same relationship with the chain length, N, that is, ∼ N1.130±0.020 and ∼ N1.160±0.013 for a different λ. Some thermodynamics properties are also addressed here. The average energy per bond decreases with λ and the average Helmholtz free energy and elastic force f increase with λ, especially for short ring chains. Comparisons with linear chains are also made. These investigations may provide insight into the elastic behaviors of ring polymers. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part B: Polym Phys 43: 223–232, 2005

Monte Carlo simulation studies of ring polymers at athermal and theta conditions.
Ingo Fuereder
Gerhard Zifferer
[Show abstract]
[Hide abstract]
By use of an intramolecular criterion, i.e., the direct proportionality between mean square dimension and chain length, theta conditions for linear chains and ring shaped polymers are evaluated for several types of cubic lattice chains (simple cubic, body centered cubic, and face centered cubic). The properties of the rings are evaluated for the same thermodynamic conditions under which they are prepared thus allowing for a natural amount of knots which have been identified by use of Alexander polynomials. For the limit of infinite chain lengths the same theta parameter is found for linear chains and rings. On the contrary, a significant theta point depression occurs due to an additional excluded volume effect if unknots are exclusively regarded. Parameters characteristic of the shape of rings and chains under theta conditions extrapolated to infinite chain length fairly well coincide with respective data for random walks. Mean square dimensions (characteristic of the size) of theta systems are slightly in excess as compared to nonreversal random walks due to the necessity of avoiding overlaps on a local scale. Furthermore athermal systems are studied as well for comparison; mean square dimensions are described by use of scaling relations with proper short chain corrections, shape parameters are given in the limit of infinite chain length.

Before I start.. In Canada,
we believe in spelling Honour with a U, so get over it.
I think this system is a great start to something that can be used as a important tool, especially for newer players.
This system gives players a chance to give true feedback about their team mates.
After a good game, and I look to honour someone, I'm clicking 'teamwork;, but I mean they carried our team to victory. Or they supported, and actually bought wards throughout the game. They took the hit when we were a basic attack away from waiting 63 seconds to re-spawn.
If the Honour system included these options, this could build a 'player profile'.
This profile could be a radar graph (see the example attached), simply showing the player where their team mates think they play best. From there they know which champions and play style may suit them better.
This would enrich gaming experience, and really help those early ;on the fence' players ease into the game better and strive to level 30.
All the pieces are there, why not.
Love the "honour" comment XD
This looks like an actually good idea. Although, I think LoL would like to have all of its' players try every champ. But, then again maybe this idea could be a help to other people who are looking for a specific spot on their team (Ex. Tank).
Senior Member
Interesting idea, though the graph would need enough points to cover most accepted roles, and hopefully be evolved if the universal metagame changes.

El Yunque Rainforest and Luquillo Beach from San Juan
Read what other Viator.com travelers think about the El Yunque Rainforest and Luquillo Beach from San Juan. What they loved, what they liked and what they think could be improved, it's all here to help you make the most of your next trip.
Click here for tour details, schedule and pricing
The beach was nice and the rainforest was such a beautiful experience.
There is no better way to take a tour than with a local guide to whom you can ask question after question--about anything!
A rewarding excursion away from the city of San Juan.
This is the second time I have been on this tour and I reccomend it for anyone staying in San Juan for vacation. Tour guide was excellent and allowed us to spend extra time in the rainforest. Our trip was well worth the money.
Great Tour guide who was chock full of information that truly enhanced the tour. Would and will do another tour using this site!
amaing places ! rainforest that takes your breath away, landscapes and perfect views. The beach was ok , i bet u can find better ones in Puerto Rico, though.
We enjoyed the beauty of El Yunque but wish the tour allowed time to see the 15 minute film at the visitor center. It alternates in Spanish and English, so a 30 minute stop would be better to allow time for exhibits, restrooms and film. Guide should explain this option. The local lunch stop was interesting and we very much enjoyed the two hours at Luquillo Beach. Nice swimming and sunning. The guide could have explained the location of changing/restrooms and fees so we knew how to proceed more efficiently.
Overall it was a fun day. Ricky had a sense of humor but we had trouble understanding his English and thus he was less informative than other guides we have encountered.
Ricky Ricardo was a great tour guide! The El Yunque rainforest was nice. Luquillo Beach was very quiet (Friday) but the dismaying part is it's all littered with trash. Why do locals trash their own beautiful paradise?
The beach is really nice but personally, I'd like to have more time for the rain forest. Maybe, it would be good to add one hour to the tour for a better acquaintance with the forest.
Our guide was extremely knowledgeable of history, flora and fauna. The Rainforest portion of the trip was our favorite. Remember to pack ponchos, snack and gatorade.
Our guide was great. I would've liked a longer hike in the rainforest but everything we did was awesome.
It was a nice day
I had a lot of fun and enjoyed the rain forest. It was so pretty to look out at everything from the observation tower and go to la coco falls. Luquillo beach was also very beautiful. I think the company tried very hard to make it an enjoyable experience for everyone because even though our bus had technical difficulties they were able to keep the show on the road. Next time I would actually want to try walking La Mina Falls trail and if that could be an added option I think that would be cool!
Jamie S
We ended up on the half day rainforest tour, but I would say it's a great introduction to a beautiful place! Would have loved to spend more time there, but I suppose that's always the case with places I go. If you're looking for a nice tour that will show you around, but isn't too strenuous, then this is for you. Don't expect a lot of hiking!
Ferrell Travis T
Would have given it a higher rating except for two things. First, this particular trip was canceled, thus I opted for the half-day rainforest tour alone. Second, I waited for the driver ten minutes prior to pick-up and we missed one another as I was at the other end of the block, despite of my repeated calls to the telephone number given. This number finally did answer some thirty minutes later and there seemed to be some confusion as to whether the driver would or would not return to pick me up at a specified location. The drive did return to retrieve me an hour after said time. Nonetheless, he was an excellent guide and I am very glad to have been on his excursion. There just seems to be a problem with specific instructions as to the meeting point, as well as communications on a Sunday morning.

The time has come to tell you who takes the honor of being named best pizza place in the Greater Binghamton area as voted by you, the Hawk listener!
You might remember that I wrote last week that I'm on a quest to find the best of the best pizza place in the Greater Binghamton area.
I don't like pizza. No, I love it. When I eat it, I feel like I'm being enveloped in ooey, gooey love. If I close my eyes, I can smell it. I definitely love pizza.

Top fantasy rookies update
Preseason play, revised depth charts have shifted top 20 rookie rankings
In my first attempt to line up the rookie class, Pittsburgh running back Le'Veon Bell was ranked in the top three. As a likely starter running behind an improved offensive line for a team that's going to run the ball, I liked Bell's chances to be productive early. But Bell has already experienced more than one setback in the preseason, and he could be limited early on. Needless to say, I'm due for an adjustment.
For experienced fantasy players, it pretty much goes without saying that rookies are rarely early draft targets. For a lot of you, this is either about adding depth or a player who could turn into a late-season value explosion as injuries pile up. And for those in keeper leagues, this is talent to draft and put on the shelf. But make no mistake, a lot of these guys are going to be big-time producers.
With preseason nearing its close, here's how I have the top 20 fantasy rookies lined up.
1. Eddie Lacy, RB, Green Bay Packers
If he stays healthy, Lacy should lead the team in carries, will add yards running with late leads and is, without question, the best goal-line option on the roster. They drafted him with the intent to use him. No Packers RB exceeded 135 carries last season. A healthy Lacy should get 200 or more.

'Ground Branch' aims to revive the tactical military shooter
BlackFoot Studios is seeking $425k on Kickstarter by July 6 to fund the game Ground Branch. The studio seeks to launch the first-person shooter for PC and Mac in 2013.
BlackFoot Studios is deeply rooted in the genre, as Founder/Creative Director John Sonedecker is credited in over 20 games in his lengthy career in the industry. He worked on Ghost Recon and the original Rainbow Six game before founding the Ohio company in 2004, according to the game's website.
Details on the depth of character and weapon customization as well as design choices are nearly too dizzying to list, though Sonedecker spelled out the development team's aspirations in the commentary video above.

Good but big
Susan from Bangor, ME– Verified Buyer
It's a great toaster but will take up a ton of counter space. Plus, you still have to push the bread down by hand sometimes (standard sized bread), despite its size.
Pretty and functional
Carrie from Ballston Lake, NY– Verified Buyer
Great toaster...but it only has a bagel and frozen button on one side. I love the look, it's fast and I love the pop out feature. Large pieces of bread do t get toasted on the very top. But overall I'm very happy!
Top Toaster

Rated PG - Animation, Family, Musical
Legends of Oz: Dorothy's Return is a 3D-animated musical based on the adventure books by Roger S. Baum, the great-grandson of L. Frank Baum.

Wiser the owl (Oliver Platt), Marshal Mallow (Hugh Dancy), China Princess (Megan Hilty) and Tugg the tugboat (Patrick Stewart) join Dorothy on her latest magical journey through the colorful landscape of Oz to restore order and happiness to Emerald City.
Set to the tunes of Academy Award-nominated singer/songwriter Bryan Adams, Legends of Oz marks a charming, family-friendly return to the Oz franchise.

Need a new washing machine and was told by two repairmen to stay away from Amana-parts are expensive-maybe they are difficult to fix also. My 27 year old Whirlpool is not fixable-hate to part with it as they don't make them to last now. I believe most brands are made by the same company.
It is frustrating try to select an item where you get mixed reviews!!
Any input is greatly appreciated!

- Miscellaneous >
- Amana Washing Machine
Amana is a low end of Whirlpool. Many reviews state to stay away from Whirlpool-repeated repairs and poor customer service. It is difficult to find a machine with positive reviews. Is there any that don't have a history of repeated repairs?
Most and least reliable: Of your front loading the models with the fewest repairs were LG and Samsung (7%) followed by Kenmore 10, Whirlpool 11 Maytag and Frigidaire 12 and GE with 17. Of your top loaders Roper (6%) followed by Maytag,Whirlpool and Kenmore all with 10% repair history followed by GE with 12 and Fisher &Paykel at 15%.
Washing machine won't spin.

SXSW notebook: A Seattle writer encounters Seattle bands ... in Austin
Funny thing about flying 1,500 miles to Austin, Texas, last week for the South by Southwest music festival: I ended up seeing a lot of faces from around here.
Special to The Seattle Times
Words from QQUINCY JONES imparted these bon mots in his keynote address at SXSW:
"Sinatra told me, 'Live every day like it's your last and one day you'll be right.' "
"Music comes through us. It's not about us. We are instruments of a higher power."
"Jazz is the classical music of American pop music. It's the balance between soul and science. The whole world knows more about our music than we do. It's the essence of freedom in liberation."
"We invented ourselves out of the business. We have iPods and iPhones, but somehow we still got iScrewed."
"Every artist, executive and journalist needs to travel internationally. You gotta go to know."
"Love always sings louder than hate."
Funny thing about flying 1,500 miles to Austin, Texas, last week for the South by Southwest music festival: I ended up seeing a lot of faces from around here.
It's the convenience that's key. Sixth Street, the main drag of SXSW, runs straight through downtown Austin. Fifty-some venues are clustered there in a 10-block radius, so catching snippets of three sets amid several hundred in an hour is not only possible but natural. Such a smorgasbord format is a thrill for fans but tough on performers.
For instance, Seattle lamentress Jesy Fortino, aka Tiny Vipers, struggled within the cavernous confines of the Radio Room during a March 19 Sub Pop showcase. Her soft-sung elegies also had to compete for earspace with the roaringly drunken crowd on the back patio. Locally, Fortino usually plays venues like the Triple Door or Vera Project — rooms that host reverent audiences there to be lulled and transfixed. In Austin, few gave time to the slow haunting of her songs. Similarly, on the patio stage, pastoral popsters Vetiver, one of Sub Pop's latest signees, battled the same barrage of beer-blasted noise. SXSW is a lot of things, but it's not a place for quiet reflection.
Quiet Past Lives is not. Still, their set at the Red Eyed Fly for Seattle label Suicide Squeeze's March 18 showcase was sparsely attended and seemed minimally appreciated, perhaps a result of being too weird too soon in the weekend. It was an unfortunate showing: Singer Jordan Blilie is one of Seattle's most magnetic performers, rail-thin and doubled over howling. Crowd-wise, Past Lives' ringing post rock fared better in broad daylight a few days later at the SXSeattle party. The ebb and flow of hype in SXSW is inscrutable.
In contrast, Manooghi Hi fared fairly well despite having almost no buzz going into the festival. (Not in America, at least. More on that below.) The lower the expectations, the greater the chance of surpassing them, and as a newish group that rarely plays around Seattle, Manooghi Hi was a surprising addition to the city's local presence in Austin. They deserve a mention here for originality alone: Suffice to say you've never heard anything like Manooghi Hi. Maybe because, to the best of my knowledge, their sound has never before been attempted.
To oversimplify, it's like this: panoramic rock 'n' roll fronted by a petite, beautiful Indian woman scat singing in Hindi. The cross-pollination is dizzying — East and West, ancient and modern, pop and classical, ecstatic spiritualism and headbanging rock. The potential for Rusted Root-style world groove dilettantism arises and is crushed by the frontwoman's chops. It's hard to argue her authenticity. Her name is Mehnaz, and it turns out the Mumbai native is a big deal in India, having recorded a national pop hit in 1996. Now she's working with a crew of veteran Seattle rockers in effort to do something truly unprecedented. It's an ambitious project and a stylistic departure for a town very much rooted in rock 'n' roll tradition.
Bigger than them all — bigger than Kanye West, bigger than Metallica, bigger than Jane's Addiction — the biggest icon at SXSW this year was Quincy Jones. Chicago-born and a Garfield High grad, Jones was scheduled to give an hourlong keynote address on the afternoon of March 18; he spoke upward of 150 minutes. From a wannabe grade-school gangster to the man who has had a hand in "over 95 percent of every one of America's musical giants of the last 60 years," 76-year-old Jones was impeccably cool as he dished out pearls of wisdom and closed with an invocation of sorts, having the audience of several hundred music-industry flaks standing, holding hands and promising to make the world a better place.
