It has been a year since Sidney Lumet passed away on April 9, 2011. Here is our retrospective on the legendary filmmaker to honor his memory. Originally published April 15, 2011.
Almost a week after the fact, we, like everyone that loves film, are still mourning the passing of the great American master Sidney Lumet, one of the true titans of cinema.
Lumet was never fancy. He never needed to be, as a master of blocking, economic camera movements and framing that empowered the emotion and or exact punctuation of a particular scene. First and foremost, as you've likely heard ad nauseum -- but hell, it's true -- Lumet was a storyteller, and one that preferred his beloved New York to soundstages (though let's not romanticize it too much, he did his fair share of work on studio film sets too as most TV journeyman and early studio filmmakers did).
His directing career stretched well over 50 years, from theater and live television to embracing digital video with his final film, 2007's outstanding "Before the Devil Knows You're Dead." Across that time, Lumet was nominated for five Oscars including four for directing ("12 Angry Men," "Dog Day Afternoon," "Network," "The Verdict") and one for adapted screenwriting ("Prince of the City"), but astonishingly, never won. Although he was given a Honorary Academy Award in 2005, as Spike Lee (the influence on whom from Lumet can be felt in every picture) tweeted on hearing the news, "Sidney was Nominated 5 Times for Best Director and was ROBBED. Eventually he got an Oscar for Lifetime Achievement. They always do that Shit."
We're not going to sugarcoat it -- not every film was a stone-cold classic. There are bad films on this list, and even worse ones that we couldn't bear ourselves to write about -- the nadir being a Rebecca DeMornay/Don Johnson potboiler, "Guilty As Sin." But Lumet was a pragmatist, as he wrote in his 1995 book "Making Movies" (a must-read for anyone who's serious about directing film), "I've done two movies because I needed the money. I've done three because I love to work and couldn't wait anymore. Because I'm a professional, I worked as hard on those movies as on any I've done." And, across his career, the good far, far outweighs the bad, and he got to go out on top with the gripping 2007 picture, "Before The Devil Knows You're Dead" which seemed to demonstrate every trait that cinephiles loved about Lumet's steady and mature hand.
Over and above anything else, Lumet loved film, dedicating his erudite, moving Oscar acceptance speech to his peers and the medium, saying "I'd like to thank the movies. I know that sounds general, but it's very real to me. I've got the best job, in the best profession in the world, and I just want to thank all of it." As Martin Scorsese put it with Lumet's passing comes, "an end of an era." He will be immensely missed, but his venerable body of work will endure.
Below, The Playlist team have assembled a selection from that titanic career. With close to 100 screen directing credits, when including his vast body of TV work, it feels like we've barely scratched the surface -- but, while we happily could have spent months on this, time and space didn't allow it. Hopefully, we've managed to cover the most significant pictures. And what better way to pay tribute to the man than by sitting down with one over the weekend?
"12 Angry Men" (1957)
It's a start that few directors have had: after a half-decade or so directing TV, Lumet got his chance at a full-length feature film and turned in a classic. A gripping, brilliant human drama that espouses the highest of ideals, "12 Angry Men" also set out the stall for many of Lumet's recurring preoccupations: guilt, innocence, prejudice, liberalism, the justice system, and the role of the individual. The staginess of the film's main setting (it featured prominently in our feature about single location films), its roots as a teleplay and the fact that, well, it's about 12 men arguing with no car chases, no gangsters and no sex to liven things up, add up to a film that on paper has all the ingredients of an unappetizing, if possibly nourishing, meal. Instead it's a banquet of masterful performances (particularly from Henry Fonda, who, notoriously self-critical, believed it one of his three best), taut, smart screenwriting and razor-sharp editing, displaying a master's grasp of pacing. While some of the details of the plot are a little outdated now, that hardly detracts from the keenly observed mechanics of power, persuasion and manipulation on display. But what's perhaps most surprising about such a smart film, is that it never mistakes cynicism for intelligence. Its ultimate conclusions -- that ideals are worth fighting for, that one man can make a difference and that even the worst of people can be gently prodded towards decency -- are quietly devastating in their humanism and positivity, but are entirely earned and entirely the opposite of trite. "12 Angry Men" is everything a thinking person's film should be, and only the first example of the kind of intelligent, restrained, grown-up filmmaking that Lumet would go on to bring us many more times over his long career. In the whispered words of Fonda himself at a screening of an early cut, "Sidney, it's magnificent." [A]
"The Fugitive Kind" (1960)
Since it's the only Sidney Lumet film on the Criterion Collection and it stars the great Marlon Brando, it must be his best film, right? While semi-compelling and well-acted on the themes of loneliness and human misconnection, mmm, not quite. Based on Tennessee Williams' 1957 play "Orpheus Descending" (he co-wrote the screenplay with Meade Roberts), this Southern Gothic tale centers on a snakeskin jacket-wearing drifter/musician (Brando) who finds trouble when he wanders into a nameless Mississippi town. And like a few of Williams' lesser film adaptations there's lots of sweaty passion, unrequited desires and tempestuous melodrama, but the narratives tend to get a little rudderless. Brando's thrown in jail early on and tries to get out of this two-bit town, but soon becomes involved with two different sorts of helpless women; the alcoholic wild child (Joanne Woodward) and the embittered wife of a dying shoe salesman who he eventually starts to work for (Anna Magnani). Both of these women provide their conflicts, but only the latter feels integral to the story. As critic Jonathan Rosenbaum observed, Lumet feels out of his East Coast element in this picture and despite the ace credentials of the principals, this disappointing effort doesn't ever really gel. [C+]
"Long Day's Journey Into Night" (1962)
It's hardly surprising, considering the length and emotional brutality of his work, that Eugene O'Neill was never really manna for cinematic adaptation in the way that, say, Tennessee Williams was. But there are good big-screen O'Neill works out there -- John Frankenheimer and Lee Marvin turned out an underrated version of "The Iceman Cometh," for example. But head and shoulders above the rest is Lumet's 1962 version of the playwright's masterpiece "Long Day's Journey Into Night," for which he assembled a dream cast of Ralph Richardson, Dean Stockwell, Jason Robards and, most toweringly, the great Katharine Hepburn. The quartet shared the acting prizes at Cannes that year, and it's well-deserved -- all four are riveting and flawless, even across the film's punishing three-hour running time; a testament to Lumet's dedication to the rehearsal process, something that almost every film could benefit from, but very few actually use. The film was criticized at first for failing to open up the play, but, as with "12 Angry Men," Lumet expertly plays with lenses and lighting to make the film feel as claustrophobic as it should. Anyone serious about acting should seek it out without delay. [A]
"The Pawnbroker" (1964)
Sidney's Lumet's career has its ebbs and flows, but other than his better-known '70s period, no other era is as peerless as his early '60s phase that saw him deliver classics such as "Fail Safe," "Long Day's Journey Into Night," and to a lesser degree "The Hill" and "The Pawnbroker," which features what is arguably Rod Steiger's finest performance as an emotionally withdrawn Holocaust survivor living in New York City (though the Academy didn't see it that way -- he won an Oscar for "In the Heat of the Night" but was only nominated for the Lumet film). As the story slowly unravels, we discover that an embittered Sol Nazerman (Steiger) witnessed his wife and two children die in Nazi concentration camps and has since callously distanced himself from the world by quietly keeping to himself in his Harlem-set pawnshop. Shunning faith and all belief in what he calls the "scum" of mankind, Sol is apathetic to everyone including his Puerto Rican shop assistant (Jaime Sanchez) who idolizes him and his business. Geraldine Fitzgerald plays a frequent customer and compassionate social worker who tries to awaken his own humanity, but the Shakespearean tragedy of his actions -- the realization that his fellow man has value -- arrives far too late. Lumet's lessons and moralizing on paper can sound a little too sanctimonious (and granted, it doesn't work in every picture), but "The Pawnbroker" is a powerful and haunting look at how death can make us realize life is worth living.

Network is my favorite film of all time. Sidney Lumet was truly a fantastic Director and his work will live on forever. RIP.

Disagree with notes on "Sea Gull." Simone Signoret is miscast, but Vanessa Redgrave and James Mason are the best Nina and Treplev I've seen, Warner is terrific in a nearly impossible part, and the supporting cast is very strong.
Mr. Arkadin | April 18, 2011 8:27 AM
I really enjoyed reading this.
Db | April 16, 2011 7:53 AM
I don't remember the morning after being *that* bad, but then again, I was probably 10 when I saw it. Also, why was I watching this movie at age 10?
Christopher Bell | April 16, 2011 6:33 AM
Leah, if you manage to get any fun out of that one, let me know. And let me know how.
Leah Zak | April 16, 2011 4:06 AM
I realize that the reviewer's intention was not to generate MORE interest in "The Morning After" ... but on that premise alone, I just upped it to #1 on my Netflix Queue.
Leah Zak | April 16, 2011 2:14 AM
Ha, I will Chris. But when it comes to 80s-era cinema, I just can't get enough vaseline-lensed dinner dates and young Jeff Bridges-es -- so I have a feeling I'mgonnaloveit.
Beats | April 15, 2011 11:13 AM
Awesome writeup! I love it. Lumet was one of my first big inspirations to become a filmmaker, and this is a fitting, beefy tribute to a man with a beefy body of work.
Erik McClanahan | April 15, 2011 7:53 AM
Thanks Tabb. Made the change.
Tabb | April 15, 2011 7:48 AM
Note: Rod Steiger did not win an Oscar for ON THE WATERFRONT as noted above. Edmond O'Brien won that year for THE BAREFOOT CONTESSA. Steiger won only for IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT.

absolutely amazing body of work. nice write up. however, 'fugitive kind' is a better than that.

jquery update select with myssql data on add
Hello all,
I'm fairly new to jQuery, but for the most part have been getting the hang of it. However, I'm stuck on something, and I just need some ideas on how to accomplish it. I have a select that is populated from a mysql database, and I have a text input that if your option isn't listed, you can add it and it should add to the table that is populating the initial select. And I want to do it all without reloading the page, which is where jQuery comes in. Now, I've managed to have the text input add to the database without problems and echo back a "success" statement using ajax(). But I'm kind of lost on how to tell it to reload the data in the select.
The html/php:
PHP Code:
<select name="author" id="author">
<option value="null" selected="selected">--Select Author--</option>
<? $query="SELECT * FROM sp_author ORDER BY author_l DESC";
while($row=mysql_fetch_array($results, MYSQL_ASSOC)){
<option value="<?php echo ($author_id);?>"> <? echo($author_l);?> </option>
<?php } ?>

First Name
<input type="text" name="AuthorF" id="AuthorF" />
Last Name
<input type="text" name="AuthorL" id="AuthorL" />
<input type="submit" name="AuthorAdd" id="AuthorAdd" value="create new" />
$("#AuthorAdd").click(function(event){ var AuthorF = $('#AuthorF').attr('value'); var AuthorL = $('#AuthorL').attr('value'); var AuthorAdd = "AuthorAdd"; $.ajax({ type: "POST", url: "ajaxInsertData.php", data: "AuthorF="+ AuthorF +"& AuthorL="+ AuthorL+"& AuthorAdd="+ AuthorAdd, success: function(){ $('#AuthorInput').append("Success!"); }, error: function(){ alert("bloody hell!"); } }); return false; event.preventDefault(); });
PHP Code:
$AuthorF = htmlspecialchars(trim($_POST['AuthorF']));
$AuthorL = htmlspecialchars(trim($_POST['AuthorL']));
$addAuthor = "INSERT INTO sp_author (author_f,author_l) VALUES ('$AuthorF','$AuthorL')";

Hi aquagrrl, welcome to the forums.
I'm no jquery expert by any means, but maybe you could have it append another option to the select without another trip to the server?

Thanks, Mittineague. It's an interesting suggestion. But I want to hit the database a second time to make sure that the items showing in the select list are in fact current with what is in the database table.

Future Boston resident makes time-scale MBTA map to plan his commute
A graphic designer and soon-to-be Boston resident recently created an time-scale map of the MBTA rail lines, offering a quick glance at how long a trip might take.
"It is a hobby for me. I pick up little graphic design projects for fun. This was my 'welcome to Boston' map, to introduce myself," Dunn said of the time-scale map, which he posted on Stonebrowndesign.com.
The graphic designer did a version for Washington D.C.'s public transit system when he moved there a few years ago.
"I was curious. I wanted to see what it would look like, and how the stops were spaced by time," Dunn said, adding that in D.C.'s transit system, riders have more choices about what lines they can take to get from point A to point B.
"In Boston there is really only one route to get you there," he said.
The times are based on the MBTA's "Trip Planner," Dunn said: "There is a little bit of estimation that comes in there."
Dunn said he believes commuters often have a rough time planning their trips.
"You can't always count on schedules," he said. "The map is supposed to offer a quick glance to provide an understanding of how long a commute is going to take."
Metro asked – would the T consider offering a similar time-scale map to customers?
"The T loves seeing creative and innovative versions of our map. Over the last few years, it has been cool to see different mobile applications offered by third parties using different version of our map," said MBTA Spokesman Joshua Robin. "That said, we will be keeping our standard map."
So what has Dunn learned about his future commute? It turns out the reaction he has gotten from Bostonians since putting the map on his website has been just as informative as the map itself.
"I've learned I'm living on the least popular and least reliable line, the Green Line. That came through very clearly in the responses I've gotten."

Insert obvious reference to the Washington Bullets here.
In mid-December, Washington Wizards superstar Gilbert Arenas and Wizards' reserve, Javaris Crittendon, reportedly got into an arugment over unpaid gambling debts and pulled guns on each other. It's been a fun season for the Wizards! Yahoo! broke the story last night:
An NBA investigation into Washington Wizards star Gilbert Arenas' possession of guns inside the team's locker room has been linked to a confrontation with teammate Javaris Crittenton, multiple sources told Yahoo! Sports.
The league's ongoing probe hopes to determine whether Arenas had accessed any of his unloaded firearms while engaged in the dispute prior to a team practice at the Verizon Center on Dec. 21 in Washington. Tensions between Arenas and Crittenton escalated because of a festering disagreement between the two players, sources said.
Of course, Yahoo-as-news-outlet has to tread lightly with this still-developing story, paying homage to thinks like "journalistic convention" and "facts." This story was made for Peter Vescey and the New York Post, who chimed in this morning with a much more fun account of what went down:
NBA all-star Gilbert Arenas and his Washington Wizards teammate Javaris Crittenton drew guns on each other in the team's locker room during a Christmas Eve dispute over a gambling debt, The Post has learned.
The duel in DC -- unprecedented in sports history -- was sparked when Critten ton became enraged at the vet eran guard for refusing to make good on a gambling debt, a source said.
"I'm not your punk!" Crittenton shouted at Arenas, according to a league source close to the Wizards.
That prompted Arenas to draw on Crittenton, who then also grabbed for a gun, league security sources said.
Oh, so it happened on Christmas Eve now? That's should make for an even better public relations crisis. Vescey also spoke to a friend of Crittendon's from Atlanta, named "Bookie Ball," who related the following: "[Arenas] was f- - -ing with him; he [Crittenton] was just defending himself!" If this world makes any sense, Bookie Ball delivered that quote from an Atlanta barbershop.
As for the implications of this story, it's still very early to speculate. When news broke last week that Arenas had brought guns to Wizards' arena, The Verizon Center, it was said that those guns were unloaded and kept in a lockbox. But clearly, the guns didn't stay in the lockbox, so maybe they were loaded, too?
Here's what we know, however: A disastrous season for the Wizards just got worse, somehow, and the man that Washington awarded a $111 million contract last year is currently making a convincing case for the most catastrophic max-contract ever. The incident on Christmas Eve will continue to be vetted -- preferably with more "Bookie Ball" -- but whatever comes of it, this is already a disaster for the Wizards, and something that'll likely merit lengthy suspensions in short order.
A few weeks ago I eugolized Abe Pollin, a man who changed the Bullets' team name because of its association with gun violence, and wrote this about the current NBA: "What struck me most wasn't some prevailing sense of mourning, but how genuinely bizarre it was that Abe ever presided over all this." And that was before this.
As for the league office... Gunplay and gambling? David Stern will LOVE this.
Stay tuned for developments.

This year's rookie class had no minicamp. Players couldn't meet with coaches and coordinators to learn the playbook. The best thing they could do last summer to prepare for their rookie season was participate in workouts with their teammates.
The lockout did everything it could to put the rookies at a disadvantage, and they responded by being one of the better rookie classes in recent memory.
It starts at the top with the No. 1 overall pick, Panthers QB Cam Newton, who finishes atop the Rookie Meter. Newton rewrote the record books this season and brought a dynamic to the quarterback position with his athleticism and arm strength. Newton threw for more than 4,000 yards, rushed for over 700 yards and accounted for 35 touchdowns.
Newton's QB play was superb, but he wasn't the only rookie signalcaller who got experience early and often. This year's rookie class of quarterbacks of Newton, Andy Dalton, Blaine Gabbert, Christian Ponder and T.J. Yates totaled 61 starts, a record since the merger. Dalton, who may be the runner-up to Newton for Offensive Rookie of the Year, threw for more than 3,000 yards, making it the first time in NFL history two rookie quarterbacks threw for over 3,000 yards.
Dalton and Yates will become the first rookie QBs to face off in a playoff game in the Super Bowl era.
For the second year in a row, the top two picks in April's draft finished 1-2 in the Rookie Meter. Von Miller struggled down the stretch, but, along with 49ers OLB Aldon Smith, we saw two of the best pass-rushing rookies in years. The pair combined for 25½ sacks. Smith recorded the most sacks by a rookie (14) since Jevon Kearse in 1999.
In the return game, Cardinals CB Patrick Peterson had four punt-return touchdowns. Bengals WR A.J. Green was the first rookie to total more than 1,000 yards receiving since 2006. An ankle injury ended his season, but Cowboys rookie RB DeMarco Murray was sensational, with a 5.5-yard rushing average.
It's hard to find a bust or disappointment among the top picks from April's draft. Many rookies overachieved, especially considering the hardship they had to play through because of the lockout.
For most rookies, now comes the biggest step — their first full offseason, where we see many NFL players make a big jump, and some, like last year's Rookie Meter stud Sam Bradford, suffer a sophomore slump.
On to the final Rookie Meter of the 2011 season:
1. Panthers QB Cam Newton (first round, first overall)
Last week's ranking: 1
Newton had to fight to get the top spot back from Miller at the end of the season, but there's no question who the best rookie was in the NFL. Newton made some rookie mistakes during the season, but he consistently made big plays and brought some excitement to Carolina. His 60.0 percent throwing accuracy was maybe one of his more impressive stats. In the regular-season finale against the Saints, Newton threw for 158 yards and a touchdown and rushed for 32 yards.
2. Broncos OLB Von Miller (1, 2)
Last week's ranking: 2
Miller should hang on to defensive rookie honors, but he did not do himself any favors down the stretch, totaling two tackles and zero sacks in the final three games. He did have a QB hit in the Broncos' season finale and finished with 24 quarterback hits on the season. His all-around defensive effort set him apart from Smith.
3. 49ers OLB Aldon Smith (1, 7)
Last week's ranking: 4
Smith could not overtake Jevon Kearse for the all-time rookie record for sacks in a season. He did have two tackles, one for a loss, in the Niners' season finale. He finished his rookie campaign with 27 QB hits, and his 14 sacks are good for a tie for fifth in the league.
4. Bengals QB Andy Dalton (2, 35)
Last week's ranking: 3
Dalton earns a lot of credit for getting the Bengals into the playoffs, as Cincy was one of the league's bigger surprises. He did not throw a pick vs. Baltimore in the season finale, but he also didn't throw a TD and completed only 50 percent of his passes. Dalton's 3,398 passing yards are good for the fifth-most by a rookie all-time.
5. Bengals WR A.J. Green (1, 4)
Last week's ranking: 5
With Dalton's struggles, Green couldn't have a big game in Week 17, finishing with two catches for 26 yards on nine targets. He finishes with the rookie lead in catches (65) and receiving yards (1,057).
6. Falcons WR Julio Jones (1, 6)
Last week's ranking: 7
Jones would have given Green quite the battle for top rookie receiver if he had been healthy all season. He finished his late-season surge in style with four catches for 76 yards and two scores. Jones finished second to Green with 959 receiving yards but had the most receiving touchdowns among rookies with eight and the most receiving yards per game — 73.8.
7. Cardinals CB Patrick Peterson (1, 5)
Last week's ranking: 9
Peterson continued his special-teams tear in the final game, blocking a field goal and totaling 63 punt-return yards on four returns. Peterson finished his season with 13 passes defensed and two interceptions, and his pass defense improved throughout the campaign.
8. Texans DE J.J. Watt (1, 11)
Last week's ranking: 6
Watt was a mainstay on the meter and a big part of the Texans' defensive turnaround. He only had one tackle in Week 17 but finished fifth on the team with 56 tackles and first with 13 tackles for loss.
9. Redskins OLB Ryan Kerrigan (1, 16)
Last week's ranking: 8
Kerrigan had two tackles in the Redskins' season finale. His year ended with nine tackles for loss and four forced fumbles to go along with 64 tackles, good for fourth on the team.
10. Cowboys RB DeMarco Murray (3, 71)
Last week's ranking: NR
Murray didn't play in the last three games of the season, but he deserves to end his season on the Rookie Meter as the leading rusher among all rookies. His 897 rushing yards were over 200 more than that of any other rookie running back. The only thing Murray didn't excel at was finding the endzone — he only had two touchdowns on the season.

Atlanta . . . The King Center CEO, Bernice A. King, today issued the following statement on the slaying of Mr. Michael Brown and the violence that has occurred in response to his death:
We are saddened and deeply disturbed by the terrible tragedy that has claimed the life of eighteen-year-old, Michael Brown. Our hearts go out to Michael's parents, Mrs. Lesley McSpadden and Mr. Michael Brown, Sr., and all those who loved him. We continue to pray for their strength during this time of tremendous grief.
I personally understand and have experienced the devastation of losing loved ones to gun violence. As the world knows, my father, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., was assassinated on a balcony in Memphis in the midst of leading a movement for nonviolent social change. I also experienced the pain of losing my paternal grandmother to gun violence when she was murdered in church by a deranged individual. I know first-hand that gun violence, and any violence, for that matter, shatters dreams.

A large home was transported through the city of Sioux Falls Tuesday morning. It traveled south on Minnesota avenue with an entourage of electrical, police, and house moving crews.
From the intersection of 69th and Minnesota, people started to gather to see intersection prepare for the massive undertaking.
The truck had to use part of the median to go around some stop lights resulting in held breath for onlookers when the house began to lean.

Officials gather every Monday and decide what the fire danger level is at based on the whole weeks weather and not day to day.
The Prevention Coordinator said this time of the summer is normal for high fire danger and she wants people to be careful.
"We always encourage people when you have a campfire you make sure its dead out, drown it with water, stir that in and feel the coals before you leave. That hasn't changed but just watching as the fuels dry out and it gets hotter and drier it increases the fire danger." Cindy Super said.
Super also encourages those who burned in the spring to go back and check to make sure the burn piles are fully extinguished.

Poured into a Chimay Chalice
Appearance: minimal head, hazy, dark red/brown in color, low carbonation
Smell: sour mix and light fruit
Taste: cherry, oak, sour mix, and light cranberry
Mouthfeel: sweet and sour, medium-light bodied, medium carbonation but very prickly
Overall: Great sour cherry taste that has complexity with other fruit flavors. Right up there with the best domestic sours. Sour but not mouth puckering and vinegary. A bit pricey, but if I wanted an american wild ale, this would be one I would turn to.

Very excited to try this beer.
The beer pours a hazy amber color with a white head. The aroma has a lot of tart dark fruit, as well as some nice cherry notes which are complimented by some brett funk and some oak from the barrel aging. The flavor is a little more complex. I get quite a bit of tobacco and leather, as well as some cherry and dark fruit notes, as well as some caramel and toffee. The sourness is low to medium, but really adds a lot to the beer. Medium mouthfeel and low carbonation. A nice sour, glad I got to try it.

Love Child No. 2 opens with a bright, lemon-citrus aroma, tinged with touches of funky fermented apple cider sourness, yeasty baguette, marble rye bread, and pepper. Deep beneath is a good bed of sweet brown sugars, orange and white grape fruit esters, and vanilla cola, but this is difficult to locate against the sour funk. Light touches of wood filter through, but there is nowhere near the heavy bourbon aromas noted in many barrel-aged brews. As a whole, the nose is certainly intriguing, but the sour funk takes a bit of getting used to, and is certainly an initial shock. However, the aromas as a whole are very potent, and even nicely nuanced, once the nose becomes accustomed.
On the tongue, the beer is immediately sour and funky, the initial mouthful tasting very much like apple cider left out slightly too long on a hot table and so partially fermented, cut with apple cider vinegar. I suspect there are people who, because of this initial blast, will assume the beer has gone bad. Get past that perception, however, and there are additional layers of flavor, including strong lemon and lime, baguette, toast crust, and touches of orange and berry, as well as light brown sugars and vanilla, and shades of merlot wine. Admittedly, these secondary characteristics are hard to find, since the initial sour, funky notes take up a good 90% of the flavor profile, and similarly dominate the aftertaste, which lingers for a long time. Mouthfeel is medium, and carbonation is medium.
Overall, this is certainly one of the more unique beers on the market, and has been crafted by someone who is not only an excellent brewer, but also apparently rather sadistic--like the kid in high school who took pleasure in getting unsuspecting girls to eat sour blast candies. This is not a negative criticism, however, because the result is a beer that is incredibly flavorful, and if you can take it, quite delicious.

Bottle (2012)
Thanks for opening this with me, Tim!
Nearly clear dark amber with dark orange edges along with a small khaki-coloread head of small bubbles. Leaves the glass somewhat messy with irregular spiderwebs of lace left down the glass.
Sweet aroma of caramels and toffees along with big notes of sour cherries, oak, and sweet, vanilla-forward bourbon. Very nice.
The flavor is delicious, unique and complex. Big notes of sour cherry and oak lead the way, falling away to an incredibe, lingering, sweet vanilla bourbon note. Incredibly drinkable, and the alcohol is hidden exceptionally well, though something about this beer lets me know it's no slouch in ABV.
Medium bodied with moderate-high carbonation.
A very nice, bourbon-forward, sweet, American cherry sour.

Nice rich red appearance, very thin head on it, disappeared into almost nothing in a very quicklike manner. Aroma, definitely delivered on the sour cherry aspect of the beer, you smell some virgin barrel as well, enjoyable.
Taste, wow, this is similar to Supplication. That's a good thing. Continue on, you get mild leather notes. I'm impressed. The sour and tart aspect is appropriate. Its not as puckering as balaton or schaerbeekse cherries, but they're doing the trick. Look for vanilla and I'm sure you can find it, its far from in your face.
I'm very impressed with how well this hides the alcohol. Extremely impressed. No vinegar notes, finishes pretty dry. I'd pay $20 for another bottle. . . shit we paid $42 to drink it at Falling Rock taphouse, wouldn't do that again, but would buy it at a retail place for half that price.

#BOTG 77! A new limited release from Boulevard, I have loved all the smokestack series beers, really looking forward to this one. Corked and caged bottle, $20 for 750ml. Popped cork, poured into 512 Anniversary glass. A cloudy raspberry brown cloudy pour, a little bit of creamy head on top. Not much, maybe 1/2 a finger. Smell- musty sour cherries, cherry pie filling, strawberry, honey, little barnyard mustyness. My tasting buddy said "like I'm riding a horse through a field of strawberries". I like that, pretty accurate. Peach syrup, apricot as well. This is super fruity on the nose, just a lot going on. Taste- Sour cherries, pie filling, super sour on the sides of my mouth. I get absolutely no bourbon barrel, which surprises me. The sour turns almost salty on the end. Strawberry syrup, tight carbonation makes for a dry finish. It's got some sour patch kid candy taste to it as well. tart, sour cherry. A little buttery finish to the cherry. This one is funky, sour, and pretty well balanced. The fruit element makes it really enjoyable. Way better than I expected, and I'm really glad to have grabbed this one. If you can get some Houston, get it. Good stuff.

Believe it or not, the local Price Chopper had this beer in stock, albeit for just a few pennies less than $19 a bottle. I tried it and here's my thoughts....batch 2012-2, 03-20I4
A Poured forcefully into a tulip glass. Nice head, with lace remaining. Reddish-amber in color.
S This beer's nose is incredible. Fruity (lemon and cherry) beyond belief. I sniffed for 5 minutes. The wife thought I'd lost my mind. The brett funkiness is awesome.
T Tastes fairly sour upon first sip, then the taste begins to grow and the sweetness comes out. Second sip, the sour graduates and it begins to get sweet. Let it sit on your palate for a few more seconds and then take another sip. It gets sweeter and sweeter, just like a cherry pie.
M Lightly carbonated, not fizzy at all.
O One of the best beers I've had in quite a while. I had a couple of bottles of Boulevard's Brett Saison and they were good quality, but this one's better. Boulevard, you've outpaced yourself. Dump the Chocolate ale and produce this one year-round.

750ml bottle, split, hill farmstead stemware
Chestnut brown body - not much in the way of head or carbonation. Immediate comparisons to La Folie - really tart and palate twisting, notes of vinegar, tart cherry, wood, bourbon, leather, toffee. Pretty intense stuff - boulevard comes through with another solid smokestack beer. That series of releases is about as consistent as it gets in my opinion.

For a while, I was wondering if I was loving every smokestack beer just because it came from my hometown heroes.
Well, I suppose you can't hit a home run every time.
This wasn't a cheap beer. ($17 a bottle was the lowest I ever spotted) For good reason. It was created with blended beers as old as four years and they didn't release a lot of bottles (although I never heard the specific count.)
I uncorked it (750ml) and poured it into a tulip.
Now maybe it's because I haven't had much exposure with sour beers, but I was relieved to read others say that the flavor direction of this beer seems to be lacking a compass. I must agree emphatically with that observation.
Aside from a bit of barrel aging and sour, it felt like a psychedelic hodgepodge of flavors. You know how you ask a person their opinion about something and they say, "It's interesting." and then you know damn well they were a little let down? Yeah, that was me.
The mouthfeel in particular felt like, I kid you not, flat soda?
I don't want to rag on this brew too much because there were a lot of other things I did enjoy. The smell was great, the appearance handsome in color. But the taste didn't have me running back to the store when I was told they had more in stock.
Let's try that Saison-Brett from Boulevard instead and see what that holds...

Comments about Seymour Duncan SA-1 Acoustic Pickup:
Installed the SA-1 in my Fender 12-String Acoustic Guitar. Had some difficulty getting it into the sound hole. Had to loosen all the strings to allow the bar to go in flat under the strings and push straight down. Once in, it fit very secure. Next 30 min spent retuning the guitar. I like the short cable with a guitar jack allowing the pickup to remain permanent. The sound is great, and the sound control has an ample range working with the gain on the amp. Overall, very pleased!

Comments about Seymour Duncan SA-1 Acoustic Pickup:
First off, Musicians Friend is awesome. They ship out fast & oftentimes give big discounts...
I hooked it into my Breedlove acoustic, and into my Yamaha THR10, & the sound is almost exactly like the guitar when unplugged.
Nice treble, bass & mids (the frequency range is nice & flat).
Yes, it will produce unwanted transients (feedback) if you are close to an amp with the volume cranked up sky-high.
I use a Fender Rumble 350 amp head (solid state) for ALL amplified jazz guitars (including my archtop AND my acoustic with the SA-1).
The amp has headroom and an extremely clean sound (more suited toward jazz guitar playing).
Depending on the amp or pre-amp, some quack is possible, especially on a thinner hollow guitar.
Since I use the Fender Rumble head, the SA-1 will not produce quack.

Comments about Seymour Duncan SA-1 Acoustic Pickup:
I was getting 60 cycle hum with my Duncan Performer Maverick soundhole pickup in one venue where I play frequently, so was looking for a humbucking pickup. This one had great reviews, so I bought it. It sounds great is is dead quiet.
Comments about Seymour Duncan SA-1 Acoustic Pickup:
Fit the sound hole of my Epiphone DR-212 snugly. Cord is long enough to reach the end pin and stay out of the way while playing. Volume knob mounted ot the top of the PUP is easy to work with the thumb and the indicator numbers on it are easy enough to read even with my old eyes!
No frills add-on acoustic pickup. Volume control, external cable and ability to keep the cord attached via the strap pin on the back of the guitar. What more do you really need?
It's a Seymour Duncan! That says it all!
Quality pickup at a fair price.
Comments about Seymour Duncan SA-1 Acoustic Pickup:
I just saw a review on another soundhole pickup that mentioned feedback. When I first got this (and my Roland Jazz Chorus) I didn't even realize that one could get feedback through an amp'd guitar.
But it didn't matter because I NEVER had ANY feedback problem at all with this pickup and my amp... or even a mid 1990's Randall Tube Pro that I picked up early in the 2000's.
I never could find anything musically even marginal about this pickup. Just a little tricky to get in the hole until you get used to it. But that has to be true of any soundhole pickup. And, fwiw, I feel like the soundhole pickup is the most realistic amplification of an acoustic guitar. I had a higher level (Legend, I think) mid 1980's Ovation 12-string with built in electronics. And while good... it wasn't quite as good as this pickup imho.
Comments about Seymour Duncan SA-1 Acoustic Pickup:
I bought this in 1986 for my 1972 Martin D-18. I ran it through my Roland Jazz Chorus 50W and it sounded like... well... EXACTLY... like my guitar. It was awesome and dead accurate as far as I could discern.
The volume always worked for me. At the time, I wasn't aware enough with amplification to tell if it was volume or gain (as one reviewer said) but it did what I wanted... louder. Didn't sound outrageously distorted to me, but I used the amplifier mostly for volume change.
It is easily removable for those offended by its looks when not running amplified. It is a bit of a pain to get in there though, comes out much easier. And the cord is a little awkard. I used to use black electrician's tape to tape it to the (black) pickguard of my guitar.
I never had a lick of trouble with it almost 20 years.
A little pricy, but there's nothing better out there imho.
Comments about Seymour Duncan SA-1 Acoustic Pickup:
This pickup was a christmas gift I received several years ago. It fit perfectly into my 1985 Takamini 12 String guitar. I had tried other pickups in the past but this one has given me the best natural sound out of them all. The only drawbacks are two things. The only place I could find for the cord was outside the guitar sound hole and sometimes I do bump the volume knob when I am playing. I had to turn the pickup upside down to bump it less often. I do have an Alvarez 6 string and it wouldn't fit in that sound hole, so make sure your mearure yours before buying. All in all it's a great pickup and it's true, it doesn't make any feedback.
Comments about Seymour Duncan SA-1 Acoustic Pickup:
I bought one of these a while back, decided I liked it so much I had it permanently installed. I recorded with it as well as played live, after selling that guitar a while back (with the pick-up) I have yet to find anything I like as much. The only drawback I ever saw was the volume knob wasn't very responsve as others stated it was pretty much on or off. It worked from 7 to 10 (I used 7 to sound check, then rolled it up to 10 because so many audio engineers had no clue what to do with an acoustic in a live mix) I will be buyng a new one for upcoming acoustic shows.

Friends and family gathered Saturday afternoon to remember the life of 20-year-old Eric Corley. A deputy from the Jefferson County Sheriff's office blocked the road where the accident happened for one hour as people paid their respects.
Corley and four other people were involved in a one-car accident in the 6700 block of Trussville-Clay Road on Friday, January 25th. He died from injuries sustained from the wreck on February 6th. Police say the 2002 Ford Escape that the group was traveling in ran off the road and struck a rock in a ditch. The accident happened just one day before Corley's 21st birthday.
16-year old James David Shirley also died following the crash due to injuries. His service was last week.

CATEGORIES Fandom, Home Entertainment, Features, CinematicalFrom infected words to messy love triangles, the movie clubs have a lot for you to dig through:
Let's start with one of my favorite films in years, let alone ever, Pontypool. Brad McHargue decided to tackle it for Horror Squad and writes: "Pontypool is filled to the brim with rapid fire and sharp dialogue, with each of the three main characters playing off of each other perfectly. ... For a genre where dialogue is secondary to camera tricks, blood, and tits, Pontypool manages to take convention and turn it on its head, making dialogue the driving force behind the film."
Meanwhile, Peter Hall headed over to SciFi Squad to dig into some old-school Stallone just in time for this week's release of The Expendables. The film in question is Demolition Man, and Hall writes: "Endless late night plays on basic cable and other less-than-focused (read: drunken) watchings had given me the idea that Marco Brambilla's 1990 sci-fi actioner was a 'so bad it's good' kind of movie. Having now actually given the film my undivided attention, I've completely reversed my opinion on it. There's nothing bad about Demolition Man; it's a legitimately good flick."
Finally, in an entirely different vein, I went for the French New Wave classic Jules and Jim. "Jules and Jim suggests that the passions and progressive ideas of the '60s might have been alive 40 or 50 years earlier. It's a reminder, even now, that ideas we hold today were present years ago -- just on a smaller or more hidden scale."

I'm not going to Art Basel Miami Beach this year. I'm through with it, basta. It's become a bit embarrassing, in fact, because why should I be seen rubbing elbows with all those phonies and scenesters, people who don't even pretend they are remotely interested in art?
And so, here it is, in print, just so no one has to ask me again. Here are all the things I'm absolutely not going to: Tuesday it's a lunch with Ferrari chairman Luca di Montezomolo (nice name!), then there are cocktails for artist Teresita Fernandez (I like her, she's pretty, she's Cuban and she won a MacArthur fellowship), then there's my friend Lapo Elkann's Ferrari party, which I'll have to leave to make the dinner Delphine Arnault is having (she's the daughter of the owner of LVMH, no less) for Berlin-based artist Anselm Reyle. He's just designed a line of bags for Christian Dior, he's very handsome and smooth, his work is rather out of favor now but I think he's on his way back (though it may take a while). Then I'll probably have late-night drinks at Maria Baibakova's, because she's young and cool, she's Russian and she has a great apartment in Miami, and, oops, I forgot my promise to show up at the Rubell Collection opening party sponsored by US Trust.
On Wednesday there's a W magazine party for hot Brazilian artist Beatriz Milhazes, then there's the Galerie Eva Presenhuber dinner (she has good artists, as always) and there's also a dinner at some wonderful Mexican collector's house where I go because I love authentic Mexican food. Somewhere there will be a raging White Cube party, and Emmanuel Perrotin will once again bring over Paris's Le Baron nightclub, where, late into the night, dealers will come hunting for a one-night stand. On Thursday, if I'm still pumping, there's a dinner for Berlin gallery Contemporary Fine Arts (those Berliners know how to party), and then there's Simon de Pury's Phillips Auction House party (it's crazy and they have fun Russian partners), then there's Aby Rosen's mega-dinner party at his W hotel, followed by a debauched party in the hotel nightclub hosted by party boys Stavros Niarchos (very internationally cool), Alex Dellal (major London hipster) and Vito Schnabel (a fast talker who represents some promising youngish artists).
What's the fun of being invited to so many things? What ever happened to the days when the best parties were the ones I had to crash? You want to know what happens over the weekend? Well, I can't be bothered with Friday or Saturday, because if I did I'd end up in rehab.
How many celebrities will I meet? How many mega-collectors will I greet? How many curators will I schmooze and how many artists will I chat up? None, because I'm not going.
As difficult as this is to imagine in today's climate, I used to go to art fairs to buy art. Remember when we'd go to Frieze in London or Art Basel Miami Beach to find great works by artists we were collecting, or to discover new ones? Art fairs in their first few years were the gallery world's great equalizing playing fields, where dealers from all over the world could show up and catch your eye with something powerful, something exotic or something undervalued.
International art fairs blossomed over the past decade, and I've attended every single one; I've witnessed their decline first hand. In the early days galleries would compete and bring great material—not just to sell, but also to gain credibility and prestige relative to their peers. At a time when the auction houses were laying out large guarantees on mega masterpieces and pouring lots of money into flashy catalogs and pumped-up marketing budgets, the art fair was an auction-style environment where small and mid-size galleries could take booths just as big as those of bigger galleries, creating a level playing field from which to launch their artists. Collectors could feel they were getting a full survey of what was available that year in the art market; comparing values and tastes was made easy since you could value-shop different galleries and end up comparing a million-dollar Neo Rauch in one booth with a million-dollar Mark Tansey in another.
But today, the freshness of new discoveries has mostly evaporated because there are so many international fairs in a single year and the galleries send out the list of the available works they'll be showing a week or two in advance, so people like me get to see what's on view in Art Singapore, Paris's FIAC, Italy's Artissima or the Abu Dhabi art fair. What's worse, the galleries aggressively pre-sell everything they can before the fair opens. Why does that matter? Because I regularly receive the email blast of works for sale from several galleries, and twice, for instance, I've "put on reserve" the fair's choice Karen Kilimnik painting only to get an email from her gallery stating that someone else will buy it sight unseen so I must "shit or get off the pot." I refuse to buy an artwork I haven't seen in person, especially in this fragile environment, so in the end the gallery runs me over, selling it to the guy who's willing to commit to it blind. I can't really blame these galleries, because this has become the new status quo, but I'm not enjoying this game of pre-selling the best pieces—it's worn me out. There are no longer any civilized rules of protocol in the email blasts other than "sell, sell, sell" and do it as fast as you can. As with most serious art collectors, I've been to too many fairs, I've seen the same stuff over and over again for years. It has lost its luster and much of its purpose, so why should I bother? It's high time I start making more studio visits, and visiting more emerging galleries. It's work but these days that's the only way to get ahead.
Your getting funnier every month but good points. I always thought the Fairs were more about the promoters making money .yes I know the media reports 10 Gallery's that did really well and everyone else broke even or loss money.(and all that hassle to get there)The only playing field that got leveled was the aesthetic one. Interesting comparison Tansy and Neo Ranch.Not much difference and then the thousands of artist who copy them because they sell.

It is interesting to see this written from the perspective of a collector; to read a collector stating that he wants to visit more emerging galleries; see something powerful, exotic and undervalued. As the director of an emerging gallery, I say bring it! I will show you these things you long to see; myself and many others who I know are out there but just can't afford to play that game and refuse to go into debt, to risk the fledgling business we have. For that matter, we wouldn't play it even if we could because we just plain see no real value in it. We are here. We show dedicated, hard working artists who produce work of richness and value.

good idea on visiting more artist's studios – might be interesting to write about that process…how you find, contact and experience visiting the studios. I've been thinking of creating a website to help facilitate this sort of process…essentially bypassing the gallery system, creating an index of artists interested in doing studio visits, which collectors, curators and critics can use to schedule visits – sort of an Open Table for artists.

why? the points are all correct, to attend or not attend is meaningless, other than whatever information can be learned, which is plenty whether the fair is good or bad.

Adam Lindemann who also has his own Hirst in the form of the medicine cabinet The Sleep of Reason as well as owning a version* of Urs Fischer's Untitled (Lamp/Bear), a giant yellow steel teddy bear sculpture which was prominently in front of the Seagrams building in Manhattan this summer (*btw Steve Cohen also own a version in blue). Lindemenn quite literally made headlines this year as the billionaire joined the 99% with his art column in the NY Observer and his call to Occupy Art Basel Miami Beach. [...]
Adam, I enjoyed your take on Art Basel. I think you might enjoy my post of a year ago, ART BASEL MIAMI "IT'S A JOKE SON!" at http://www.artistkarenking.com.
It is from and artist viewpoint. They say you shouldn't ask a question if you are not willing to hear the answer. In the spirit of this I ask you. As a collector who has "seen it all", almost, do you find my work powerful, exotic and undervalued, or perhaps merchandise, commercial eye candy with no real content.

The Muscogee County School District is looking into cost cutting measures that could possibly eliminate custodial jobs at middle and high schools. This comes after a lengthy discussion at a work session that happened earlier this month.
During Tuesday night's school board meeting, it was decided that the district would move forward with outsourcing custodial services for middle and high schools in the county. That means that a contractor will be responsible for hiring the custodial staff in schools at the middle and high school level.
"Its an opportunity where all divisions are looking at their budgets the best possible solutions and any opportunities that there are for cost savings," Fuller said.
For current workers things still remain uncertain. If a contractor is chosen, we understand there will no longer be any full-time positions. At this point only temporary positions would be filled as opposed to hiring full-time positions if some were to leave their custodial job.
If a contractor does take over the middle and high school custodial jobs it is up to the contractors to decided if they want to re-hire workers already employed by the school district.
The school district is in the process of accepting bids from vendors interested in taking on the job in local middle and high schools.
The district is currently searching for 4 to 5 vendors and will narrow things down from there.Count on News Leader 9 to bring you the latest updates on this topic.

After earning undergraduate degrees in both Physics and French, he moved west and fell in love with Rocky Mountain snowstorms. He received a Master's in Atmospheric Science from Colorado State University in Fort Collins, then went to work for a private forecasting firm in Denver.
His first television position was at KTWO in Casper, Wyoming. He moved to the Heartland and KFVS12 in 1988. In September 2005, he acquired the new and upgraded CBM (Certified Broadcast Meteorologist) seal of approval from the American Meteorological Society (AMS).
When he's not studying weather maps he likes to spend time outdoors. Days off often find him lost in the Four Corners area of the Southwest, camping and hiking. Brian is a serious outdoor photographer, specializing in medium and large format film photography. He is a supporting member of the Arts Council of Southeast Missouri. Ask him about his recent rafting (and photo) trip down the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon.
