Gosprt MP backs drive to tackle obesity
11:21am Tuesday 4th February 2014 in News
A Hampshire MP has backed a campaign to tackle obesity.
Caroline Dinenage, who represents Gosport, pledged her support to the recent National Obesity Week, meeting organisations behind it.
Organised by the National Obesity Forum, it calls for Government and business action but also on individuals to live a healthy lifestyle.
The National Obesity Forum estimated that as much as half of the British population could be obese by 2050, costing the taxpayer £50 billion per year.
Miss Dinenage said: "Obesity is a considerable problem in Britain and has implications not just for an individuals' health, but the country's infrastructure and economy.
"In Gosport, 20 per cent of Year 6 children are thought to be overweight, which is a very worrying statistic."

At 5 feet 10 inches, 150lbs American blade runner Blake Leeper isn't what you'd consider a professional football size.
But, it's the size of his heart and talent that caught the Tennessee Titan's attention.
"Growing up with a disability, I knew that a professional career in sports was never meant for me," Leeper said, "especially to run out on a field on a football field. I never even imagined."
This Sunday, Leeper's childhood dream will come true as he enters LP Field as the "12th Titan."
"I'm going to run out of the tunnel at blazing speed," Leeper said. "I'm going to grab the saber and show it off to the whole stadium."
It's a special honor the Titan's give to a notable fan during home games, and this Para-Olympic star is ready to shine.
"I can run the 100 meters in less than 11 seconds, so we'll see what I have in 100 yards tomorrow," Leeper said.
While he's excited to fulfill another long-time dream, he hopes his appearance sends an even deeper message to others.
"I want to be able to run out on that field with the Titans and show the world that regardless of your situation, regardless of your disability, that with a strong mindset, and if you stay determined, that you can overcome any challenge in life."

CATEGORIES MoviesKeeping in line with its hushed details and incomprehensible dialogue (you know who you are), "The Dark Knight Rises" pulled a fast one on fans when advanced showtimes went on sale Monday.
Odd, seeing as "The Dark Knight Rises" is still six months away from hitting theaters. But there they were: midnight showings in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and New York for July 19, the day before the release of the Christopher Nolan's third turn with the caped crusader.
The following day, the New York IMAX screening sold out. As in no more. Just to reiterate this -- the film is a half a year away from its release date. So, after you've gotten over the bad news that you will probably not be one of the first to see Christian Bale's final appearance as Batman, the question remains: why did they decided to offer an advance ticket sale?
And the answer is simple: probably because they can!
Here's how they knew for sure that it would work: the newest "Mission: Impossible," which held a few pre-release screenings in December, also screened the six-minute prologue for "The Dark Knight Rises." Some AMC theater managers polled the audience to get a sense of whether or not they would be interested in buying midnight tickets for the approaching "Batman". ("Um, yes?")
Get ready to camp out on theater sidewalk early this year. "The Dark Knight Rises" is in theaters on July 20.

Letting Tweens Trick-or-Treat Alone
Trick or Treat Know-How
Q. "My son who is 11 wants to trick-or-treat alone with his friends this year. Normally he goes along with his sister and me. I understand he's growing up. But, still, I worry about him being out after dark on a night when many kids play dangerous pranks. Should I let him go? And what guidelines should I set?"
A. The situation you're facing is one of the most common parents face today. A generation ago parents wouldn't think twice about sending a child out into the neighborhood on Halloween to trick-or-treat. Children by age 10 are fully equipped for brief yet safe adventures away from their parents. They thrive on these opportunities as they satisfy their need for independence while challenging their developing abilities.
Today, because of violent acts against children, parents fear danger lurking around every neighborhood corner. What's a parent to do? While no parent will simply let a child out the door with no guidance or supervision, it's probably not in the child's best interest for you to be overly protective either.
Find the middle ground by laying a safety net for your son and his friends. The most obvious solution is for either you or your son's father to shadow the boys by walking half a block behind them as they trick-or-treat. This way you're within ear-and-eye shot, so if pranks or other dangerous situations arise on that spooky walk around the neighborhood, you're in the vicinity.
Also, ask them before they venture out, what rules they're going to follow to keep themselves safe. By engaging them in the process of keeping themselves safe, you increase the likelihood they'll follow through and learn about personal safety at the same time. They'll probably mention the importance of carrying flashlights, going only to houses where the porch light is on, and not eating candy until they're home.
If your son balks at the thought of you or Dad shadowing the group, then offer a choice. "You can either go with me following behind, or with me and your sister." If he continues to resist the idea of you following along behind, talk to the other parents. He might feel silly if he thinks his parents are the only protective ones. If there's a consensus from all the parents, then he won't feel like the baby in the group.
If you live in a neighborhood where there's lots of traffic, you may not be able to let the boys go without you right by their side. If this is the case, move the group around the neighborhood but have little sister go with the other parent. To an 11-year-old, little sister is an annoyance particularly when friends are around.
This situation marks a new parenting beginning for you. Puberty looms on the horizon; the push for independence is just starting to rear its challenging head. You'll be continuously challenged as you decide when to say no, when to say yes, and how to offer guidance and choices for safety's sake.
Jan Faull, MEd, is a veteran parent educator and the author of four parenting books, including Darn Good Advice -- Baby and Darn Good Advice -- Parenting. She writes a biweekly parenting advice column for this site and a weekly parenting advice column in the Seattle Times. Jan Faull is the mother of three grown children and lives in the Seattle area.

Teens normally get the bad rap for being top offenders when it comes to texting and driving, but a new study done by AT&T might surprise you.
Researchers found that adults actually take the title of most likely to text while driving.
AT&T surveyed more than 1,000 adults, with 98 percent agreeing that texting or e-mailing while driving is unsafe. But 49 percent of them admitted to doing it as well.
That's compared to only 43 percent of teen drivers who admitted to texting while driving.
Perhaps teens just aren't fessing up as much, but AT&T says these new numbers suggest the number of adults doing it is rising.
The study found most people say it's just a habit they can't kick. The study also found women are more likely to text and drive than men.

PEORIA, Ill. -- A career services company tested a new veteran affairs initiative in Peoria on Wednesday.
DESI Job Corps, based out of Illinois and Wisconsin, hosted a meet-and-greet for vets and service providers.
The event introduces military veterans to those who can help with employment, housing and medical concerns.
Attendees leave their information with Job-Corps so the company can connect the veterans to the proper services.
"Then they can either work with those agencies right here-and-then or we can send the information to the proper providers," said Business Relations Manager Rhonda Washer. "So we're going to make sure everybody gets hooked up and that we don't have people falling through the cracks."
U.S. Air Force veteran Kip Switzer has been seeking full-time employment since he was laid off more than three years ago.He hopes DESI Job Corps can help him find permanent employment and housing.
"I've got some good information now about maybe housing and stuff too, because I'm kind of in between places right now," Switzer said. "So it's a start and it's a step and each day is a process of taking one step and always making sure it's going forward."
If Wednesday's event is a success, DESI Job Corps plans to continue the effort on a quarterly basis.

Springfield police continue to investigate the city's seventh homicide this year.
Officers responded to the city's Forest Park neighborhood at about 8 p.m. Tuesday after being alerted by the department's automated gunshot detection system.
Police say they found 30-year-old Fabian Pacheco suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.
Pacheco was taken to Baystate hospital where he was pronounced dead.
According to police, officers found oxycodone pills, marijuana and cocaine packaged for sale at the scene of the murder.
It is possible that the motive was drug-related.

Six years after Otto Zehm died at the hands of Spokane police, Spokane Mayor David Condon has delivered a hand-written letter of apology to Zehm's mother.
Condon met with Ann Zehm last week to deliver his letter.
Otto Zehm was 36 in 2006 after he was mistakenly accused of theft and beaten, hog-tied and Tasered by police in a convenience store. Zehm, a mentally disabled janitor who had committed no crime, died two days later without regaining consciousness.
The written apology was part of a mediated settlement of a lawsuit that was reached last month between the city and Ann Zehm.
It also called for a payment of $1.67 million, better training for police and a pavilion in a Spokane park to be named in honor of Zehm.

SALEM (MyFoxBoston.com) -- Police are following leads after a Salem man released footage of a woman who stole a birdcage off of his porch before Christmas.
Bill Bushong ordered a $300, 64-pound birdcage and had it delivered to his home.
>>Let it Rip: Woman caught on camera stealing package off porch
When Bushong received the cage, he realized it wasn't the right size and left it on his porch to be picked up and returned.
When Bushong returned from a business trip he noticed the package was gone. He said looked at footage from a security camera mounted on his porch and realized that the package hadn't been picked up by a delivery company, instead it was taken by a woman.
"This is her coming up, again she doesn't even flinch she just grabs the package -- all 75 pounds of it -- and walks away," said Bushong.
Bushong says he was sharing the security footage to prevent other residents from falling victim to similar thefts.
Salem Police were using the video to try to identify the woman. Bushong tells FOX 25 they have received tips since the video was released, but they have not made any arrests in the case.
Anyone with information is asked to call Salem police.

By Dustin Luca
---- — The McDonald's restaurant on North Main Street has helped raise more than $10,000 this year to benefit one of the leading children's hospitals in the nation.
The funds go toward the Lowell-based Fitness For A Cure event, which has collected $350,000-plus to benefit St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, Tenn.
Carissa Haley, owner and operator of the North Main Street McDonald's, said the annual Fitness For a Cure fundraiser is "very near and dear to my heart," particularly because of how strongly it helps St. Jude's.
"St. Jude Children's Research Hospital is a place where no child gets left behind," she said. "They do not ask for a single cent from the family of a sick child. They cover every expense, from travel to housing to medical expenses, so that a family can focus on getting their child the help that they need."
Haley, who also owns the McDonald's in Amesbury, said her restaurants since January have raised a combined $10,000 for the cause. They also kick in 500 cups of coffee, 300 Happy Meal toys, 200 bottles of water and 600 "apple dippers" for the Fitness for A Cure afternoon family event at Lowell Memorial Auditorium.
Fitness For A Cure founder Sherri Sarrouf said the interactions she has with parents at St. Jude's are nothing short of memorable.
"People will actually thank us and hug us," she said. "They'll say, `What you're doing in New England is huge down here in Memphis because it's funding us being able to be here with our child, and being able to treat our child, when we don't have money.'"

A Full Belly for the Whole Family
The Meaning of Family
Cindi Beard sits in the living room of her trailer home in Sacramento, California, watching her favorite channel, Animal Planet. But her mind isn't on the show. It's nearly 9:50 a.m., and she's eagerly waiting for the doorbell to ring. As soon as it does, Beard, 69, heads to the door with the help of her cane as Sydney, her Australian shepherd mix, barks happily by her side. "Hi, Cindi!" says Teofilo Tamboaon, a driver with the organization Meals on Wheels (MOW), who gives her one of his usual hello hugs, then hands her a lunch tray (today it's tuna salad on a bed of lettuce, vegetables, and a cookie), as he does every weekday morning.
But he has also brought a crackling new bag of dog kibble, compliments of MOW's new program, Pets Eat Too (PET). Tamboaon spends a few minutes roughhousing with Sydney, then replaces the frayed rope around her neck with a proper leash and collar, gifts that delight Beard. She settles on the couch with her tray on her lap while Sydney runs back and forth from her bowl on the kitchen floor to chew a mouthful while sitting at Beard's feet. It seems the two agree that a meal just tastes better when they eat side by side.

David Hando sets out Newport County's future
8:40am Friday 20th July 2012 in Newport County By Michael Pearlman
NEWPORT County AFC's new interim chairman David Hando insists the club is gunning for the Football League after the move to Rodney Parade, writes Michael Pearlman.
The Argus sat down yesterday with director Howard Greenhaf, director of football Tim Harris, boss Justin Edin-burgh and Hando following a week that saw Chris Blight quit the club over abusive phone calls to his home.
They revealed that:
- A date has been set for the AGM – in August – and letters will be sent out shortly;
- The County board of directors, currently down to one, will welcome four new members within the next week;
- The club will welcome any discussion with any party over investment ;
- It would not have been possible to push for promotion if the Exiles had remained at Spytty Park;
- Former chairman Chris Blight will be offered life membership of the club.
Hando, already president of the club after his efforts in resurrecting them in 1989, insists he is merely "keeping the seat warm" until a permanent successor to Blight is appointed.
On investment, he said: "As soon as anyone comes to us with a tangible offer or plan to be able to help us, we will welcome that.
"We must buckle down now and do everything we can to help Justin, because our ultimate aim is for the Football League.
"We all need to work together to make Rodney Parade a great success. If we had stayed at Spytty we could've given up any chance of promotion.
"Anyone who can help us with that, we'd be delighted to hear from."
However, Hando isn't concerned about abusive calls.
"Anyone who wants to talk to us can have my email, my phone number, and my wife Mary assures me she'll deal with any abuse, so abusers beware," he joked.
Hando feels the club owe a debt to ex-chairman Blight.
"We acknowledge a great debt to Chris Blight and great regret that he's gone in this way," he said.
"We want to reward him and would like to make him a life member, he's done so much for the club.
"Howard Greehaf is a great worker and a real inspiration, he's done a super job and soon enough we will announce additions to not only the team on the pitch, but on the board also."

Passengers hit by sickness bug on QM2
Dozens of passengers are thought to have been struck down by the winter sickness bug Norovirus on the luxury cruise liner the Queen Mary 2. The ship, which sails out of Southampton, is on a 12 night tour of the Caribbean.
In a statement, Cunard, which operates the cruise ship, said:
"There has been an incidence of a mild gastrointestinal illness among the passengers on Queen Mary 2. This illness is suspected to be norovirus, which is highly contagious and typically transmitted from person to person.
Norovirus is common throughout the UK, Europe and North America and has affected a number of schools, hospitals, nursing homes and children's day care centres this winter.
Queen Mary 2 is currently on a 12 night Caribbean cruise which departed from New York on Saturday December 22. There are 2613 passengers on board, the number of passengers with active symptoms today is 19.
Enhanced sanitation protocols have been employed to help minimize transmission to other passengers. These comprehensive disinfection protocols have been developed by Cunard Line in conjunction with UK and U.S. public health authorities.
The safety and comfort of passengers and crew is always our number one priority.
As is currently standard procedure across our fleet, all the ship's passengers were provided with a precautionary health notice advising of widespread norovirus activity and the health measures to avoid contraction and spread, both on board and whilst ashore."
Hundreds of passengers were affected by the bug on the cruise ship Oriana earlier this month.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) - New Orleans Police Chief Ronal Serpas says a 40-year-old Yellow Cab driver has been arrested in the rape of a woman who said she was assaulted after taking a cab last week from an Uptown neighborhood.
Serpas identified the suspect as Sohail Khan. Police booked him with second-degree kidnapping and simple rape. Bond information and whether he is represented by an attorney was not immediately available.
Serpas says GPS technology was used to help track the driver of the cab. The victim told investigators she was riding in the taxi when Khan allegedly pulled over near her destination and assaulted her.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill -- Standard and Poor's Credit rating agency has downgraded Illinois rating and assigned a negative outlook to the state's financial outlook.
The downgrade changes Illinois' rating for general obligation bonds to "A" from "A+." That means when the state borrows money it will cost taxpayers more in interest.
This comes on the heels of last Friday's special session in which nothing was resolved regarding Illinois' under-funded pension systems.
State Treasurer Dan Rutherford (R) said drastic changes need to come to the pension systems and not a lot of people are going to like it.
"I'm encouraging the General Assembly and the Governor to come to a resolution on a choice system, changing the current defined benefit program, allowing one that if they continue into the current defined benefit that they pay a certain premium. If they want a different defined benefit, they pay a different premium. And a third will be what's termed as defined contribution, similar to what the private sector has had," Rutherford said.
Governor Pat Quinn said he will call legislative leaders to a meeting in early September to, again, try to reach a compromise on pension reform.

A woman left five dogs alone in a vehicle for about six hours Friday afternoon in the Bucktown neighborhood.
About 4:30 p.m., someone saw the woman walk away from her parked vehicle in the 2400 block of North Artesian Avenue, which had five dogs inside, police News Affairs Officer Michael Sullivan said.
The dogs did not have food or water in the vehicle, and the heat was not turned on, Sullivan said.
The person who first saw the woman park the vehicle called police about 10:30 p.m., and firefighters rescued the dogs from the vehicle, Sullivan said.
The dogs were taken to Chicago Animal Care and Control, whose conditions were not immediately known.
The woman, whose exact age or name was not released, was cited for animal owner duties, Sullivan said.

Ninety-five percent just gets deleted, several hundred make it to folders I can access for various players and stuff. Then there's the shots and sequences that I can't, for whatever reason, use in the book but can't in good conscious throw out. So here you go.

I apologize for posting this so late. I meant to do it earlier, but my 2 year old daughter decided to do a swan dive off of the couch and break her arm. First haircut and first broken bone in the same day, not bad.
Big thanks to Heiko for manning one of my cameras and taking the majority of the photos below. Enjoy!
Brian had to sign his name well over 400 times yesterday. This photo was approximately number 50. He was very excited!

Poured from a 750 ml bottle into a Cigar City Brewing branded snifter
Pours black as pitch capped by a smooth dark brown one and half finger head. Obviously the cedar-aged version retains the amazing appearance of Marshall Zhukov, one of the most gorgeous imperial stouts one can find. Tons of deep dark chocolate and dark fruit all accented by the aroma of cedar. Opens with dark chocolate notes, prunes, black cherry notes, and raisins. Molasses notes midpalate joined by pleasant cedar. Finishes with roasted dark chocolate malt, espresso notes, and continued cedar accents. Huge full body, lower level of carbonation. Velvety, creamy mouthfeel-darn near perfect. Just an absolutely wonderful brew. The base beer is one of the best Russian imperial stouts available and the aging on cedar just gives it another dimension.

Thanks, Beerness!
Black and thick body with a moderately sized dark brown head. As usual, Cigar City makes another beautiful stout. Shiny, black, thick, heavy, viscous, oily--all words I'd use to describe this stout. Unfortunately, it's appearance was probably my favorite aspect of the beer.
Big notes of wood and smoke, as expected, and the base beer is largely lost because of it. There's also fairly large amounts of vegetable/tomato ketchup aroma, which isn't particularly pleasant. There's some strange sweetness and a bit of soy as well.
The flavor is just as bad, if not worse, than the aroma. Big notes of gourd vegetables, tomatoes, ketchup, wood, soy, and sweetness. A favorite beer of mine has been transformed into something not particularly drinkable.
Thick bodied with low-moderate carbonation. This beer does not fail the mouthfeel test.
I have largely hated the Humidor Series from Cigar City. This one is no exception.

A: Poured into my Founder's stout glass, this brew pours as wonderful as an Marshal Zhukov's. Pitch black with a milk chocolate head. Any brew based off of Marshal Zhukov is always the darkest, most fearsome stout I've ever seen. This version is leaving lace 360 degrees around the glass, that deserves a 5.0 in my book.
S: The first aroma that jumps up and grabs you is the cedar that truly makes this a humidor series. The usual Marshal notes of chocolate and molasses are hiding in the background, but come out to complement the cedar notes.
T: Fresh out of the fridge the cedar takes over, given time to warm notes of dark chocolate, fudge, and roasted caramelized malt shine through. The cedar leaves a very nice woody after taste.
MF: Smooth and creamy, carbonation is spot on for a beer of the caliber. It shows how much CCB has learned about carbonation over the few years they've been in business.
Overall, take a box of your favorite chocolates and serve them up in a cedar box. That is Humidor Marshal in a nutshell. Seriously, this brew means business and I'm glad I got a few to age.

750ml into a CCB Snifter. Bottle dated Sept 2011.
Pous thick and sludgy, just like Marshal Z. always does. Puts up a sexy dark brown head that leaves a little lacing on the glass as it falls. CCB's Imperial Stouts are among the best looking in the business.
Nose is outstanding. The spicy cedar is a fantastic companion for the earthy, leathery, tobacco notes typical of this beer. The cedar is in perfect balance right now, I'm probably wouldn't age this one much longer.
Taste is voluptuous. Dark fruits and earthen roasted malts - the wood leads to a drying finish that you don't usually get from the base beer. Roasted woods linger.
Mouthfeel is the strong point of this brew. Beyond full. Heavy. Creamy. I'd give it a 6 if I could.
Overall, this is a fantastic treatment of an already stellar stout. This beer was gifted to me by a fellow beer geek who will remain nameless. I owe him one.

On tap at Cigar City takes NYC event at Rattle 'N' Hum. The wood gives it a nice complexity and balance. The aroma is very chocolate. Big mouthfeel. Very dark brown. Coffee too. A nice one but not 100 percentile.
This is rather known as the humidor series, which uses cedar wood.

Final beer of hosted tasting on 5/19/2012
A - Pours black and as thick as motor oil. Coates the glass with a film and the brown foam laces the glass.
S - Smells of strong chocolate and brown sugar. The cedar gave this a bit of smoke that wasn't in Zukhov's.
T - Rich chocolate flavor and incredibly sweet. As the stout warmed the addition of spanish cedar added a smoky flavor that lingered so slightly.
M - A very rich stout, and could be a bit more mellowed on the finish.
O - I liked Zukhov's, I really liked Hunaphu, and this was right there as well. Of all the Humidor Series, this might be my favorite. Excellent brew from CCB.

Poured from tap into a Tulip glass.
Color: Black with a dark brown head.
Smell: Chocolate, coffee and cedar.
Taste: Chocolate coffee, alcohol, cedar and slighly smokey.
Mouthfeel: Creamy with good carbonation and pleasantly smooth.
Overall: Was able to enjoy this on-tap at Sweetwater Grill for the Cigar City tap takeover.
Has a great complexity to this one. The cedar and alcohol come thru very nicely. Cheers!

Bottle shared by illidurit at a tasting. Huge thanks to David for this one.
Pours jet black and viscous with a very dark brown head, about as dark as heads get.
Aroma is intense with lots of cedar, roast, and smoke, redwood forest, and coconut.
Flavor is absolutely insane, like nothing I've had before. It's almost like they liquified the taste of a great Cuban cigar and blended that with a very good imperial stout. Roasty and really cedary with burnt malts, cigar smoke, chocolate, black pepper, coconut, and tropical fruits. Really complex, really crazy, and really awesome. At first I thought it was a little weird, but it definitely grew on me.
Extremely long finish. Amazingly smooth and full on the mouthfeel yet having some harsh smoky bitterness.
Drinkability is only decent, but that doesn't really detract from how awesome this beer is overall.

On-tap at the "Aging Beers on Unusual Wood" presentation by Cigar City at Bx Beer Depot.
Appearance - Jet black with no head. Little brown bubbles around the edge. So black it stains the glass.
Smell - Sweet malts and some coffee aromas. Overwhelming sweetness. I honestly don't get a lot of cedar, unless it's hidden within the sugar and booze.
Taste - Strong chocolate malts. Hop bitter at the front, which is strange for an RIS. Strong sweetness in the middle with a cedar astringency in the finish. The cedar seems to add to the sweetness, too.
Mouthfeel - Thick as hell. Not a lot of carbonation, even on tap. It coats the mouth and makes the flavors linger.
Overall - I don't get a lot of direct cedar. It adds to the flavors subtly and unfortunately enhances the sweetness of the beer.

Poured on tap at cigar city brewery.
Poured a deep black with a one finger brown bubbly head that only lasted around 30 seconds.
Nice roasty/chocolate nose with hints of woodyness, defiantly some dark fruit.
Lots of cedar in the taste. These humidor beers really display more wood than most wood aged beers I've had, and the cedar is super interesting to boot. This one is pretty roasty with a bit of sweetness.
Mouthfeel is very smooth, sticky, slickly. Big body medium carbonation.
Overall a really nice stout the cedar may have been a tiny bit over powering but as a featured part of the brew it was presented nicely.
I will defiantly try this again and suggest it to others.

Tried this last Saturday from a cask release at Cigar City Brewing. Was very excited but I have to say that the cedar was so obnoxiously unbalanced and overwhelming that it ruined the Zhukov's base. Four folks in a row were cringing and turning red, while trying their best to find something positive to say about it (in futile effort really). I gave my glass away after a few swigs to a couple of folks sitting behind me, but not sure if they drank it either.
The surprising piece is that, while Cigar City looks to push the envelope with flavors and creativity (the fantastic Hunaphu, Zhukov's, Jai Alai IPA, etc), they seem to not have the courage to toss something out that tastes horrible. This brew needs to stay retired. I'll be sticking with the regular Zhukov's or looking around for a BA variant.

Big thanks goes out to my boy Jefe73 for sending me this one in a past trade! Shared this one with everyone at cmrillo's 40 Beers* @ 40 Birthday Bash! Served from bottle into a Cigar City snifter. Poured pitch black with a minimal brown head that subsided to basically none quickly. Maintained decent lacing throughout the glass. The aroma was comprised of sweet malt, roasted malt, cedar, dark chocolate, and spices. The flavor was of sweet malt, roasted malt, cedar, dark chocolate, spices, and sweet alcohol. It had a heavy feel on the palate with medium carbonation. Overall this was a good brew. I really like the kiss of cedar on this one that the Humidor Series added on this one. The nice woodiness on this one made it seem like it was added in an uber-barrel, but left out some of the undertones you pick up on using barrels. A really well thoughout-out brew that I'm glad I got the chance to try.

Reading this book, the second time around, and in the context of class, I got a lot more out of it. Knowing the storyline and the "twist" while reading the book allowed me to pick up on more hints and keys to Hanna's behavior. The narrator is still hard for me to get close to (I think that is intentional), and I'm not sure if I feel he was a victim or not.
The second time around, I looked at this book and at how Hanna's lack of ability to read influenced her life choices, and ultimately led to some drastic consequences. It made me wish a little bit that I would be able to use this book as a teacher. This book has the sex and scandal that students would be drawn to, but then could also bring up the importance of literacy...would this ever be an approved book though?
Glad I read it again.

I really wanted to like this book. But I was not impressed, and I was left thinking at the end, "Oh, is that it?"
I mean, I guess I can see why so many people like it, and why Oprah picked it for her book club (even though that in no way informs my decision on whether or not to read a book), but [The Reader] just didn't do anything for me. The relationship between Michael and Hanna was creepy and emotionally abusive, and I thought adult Michael was annoying; I really had to slog through the second part of the novel. Michael briefly touches on the people in his generation demanding answers and apologies from the generation previous (the ones who were involved in all of the terrible SS/Nazi business), which I thought would have made a much more compelling story, rather than framing it around a creepy relationship that Michael just can't get over (seriously, dude, make like Elsa and let it go).
And actually, I found the character of older Hanna to be way more intriguing, so if the novel focused more on her maybe I would have liked it better. But, it is called The Reader, so there's no getting around that Michael is the main focus.
Anyway, it's not like I completely hated the book. It was well-written (or should I say, well-translated, since the book was originally written in German). I appreciated the author's/Michael's observations on the reactions of the people during the trial of the horrible events at Auschwitz, and his description of what it felt like to walk through a concentration camp (and how we can never truly grasp what is what like to be there). But, like I said, I was expecting something more, and I was disappointed.
I've read Le Liseur twice now in its French translation from the German. The film The Reader tracks the novel quite closely, with the only significant change one that comes at the very end, when Michael visits Hanna's grave. In the film he is accompanied by his daughter. In the novel, he goes alone. The story is a disturbing one, with its ultimately unanswered questions regarding guilt, shame, betrayal and responsibility. The novel can be read as the personal story of Michael Berg and Hanna Schmitz set in post-war Germany, but it can also be read as an allegory in which Hanna represents Germany, the country itself, and the generation of the parents, those who were adults during the Hitler years. Michael represents the next generation who were children or not yet born during the war. It is the lack of an accounting, of memory on the part of the parents' generation that ultimately victimizes Michael and future generations, as their own silence and betrayal is a product of that of parents who didn't confront the past, who just moved on. This betrayal of memory on the part of the German populace after WWII is a subject that has been effectively explored by the writer, W.G. Sebald. Michael Berg is 15 when he becomes involved with Hanna, who at 36 is 21 years his senior. He initiates the relationship, but Hanna, as the adult, may be exploiting, and in a sense raping, him nonetheless.
Hanna's secret and her secret shame is her illiteracy, an, unexplained in the novel, handicap which determines the course of her life, including her employment as a concentration camp guard during WWII and her later condemnation and imprisonment for what she did there. In fact, Hanna ultimately admits to more responsibility than she actually had in events surrounding a terrible fire in a locked church that killed all but two of the Jewish prisoners guarded by Hanna and several other women. Rather than admit her inability to read either the accusations against her or the book written by a girl who, along with her mother, survived the fire, Hanna is sentenced to life in prison.
The course of Michael Berg's life is determined, in turn, by his relationship with Hanna and his feelings of betrayal both of her and by her.
I wanted to like this book more than I did.
It's well written, and the description indicated to me a good foundation for a story.
The description implies that the reader will wrestle with some interesting moral dilemmas. In particular a secret the protagonist's lover, Hanna, considers more shameful than murder. And I love a good moral quandary.
However, two things are very wrong with this novel. First, it's painfully clear what Hanna's secret is from about page 35 on (and there are easy clues to it well before that). Second, that anyone considers that particular 'shame' fact worse than having been an SS guard at a concentration camp is, frankly, ridiculous.
I'm sure there's a cultural divide here. Positive actually. But, even granting that, it was too much to credit for me. I, and others I know who've read this, spent the next 125 or so pages waiting for Michael to clue in to what Hanna's secret was, which made the rest of the book very tedious. Michael's inner monologues during the trial were rendered flat because of the inept hiding of the secret combined with it being completely out of scale with Hanna's alleged crimes. He doesn't come across as contemplative, but instead as wishy-washy.
(Though given that I think an eight year old could figure out the secret by page 40, I'm not sure how much of a spoiler this really is.)
Hanna's secret? She's illiterate. I'm not sure what the literacy rate amongst women was in mid-20th century Germany was, but I'm sure she wasn't the only one, particularly given that Germany was just as wrecked by recession and depression in decade before WWII as any other country.
She's too ashamed by it to bring it up in her own defense in the trial - even though she faces life imprisonment. Even though the other defends use her lack of knowledge of what's going on (because, of course, she can't read any of the documents relevant to her trial) to heap guilt on her and off themselves.
That's not a moral issue. That's what we called 'stupid'. I was not wondering if it was more moral for Michael to let Hanna hang herself versus letting her secret out, I was wondering if these two people are both too stupid to do the right thing and let the court know all the facts about the case.
They are - and in Michael's case, as he was practically bludgeoned with evidence of Hanna's illiteracy - I suppose I should not have been surprised. Hanna spend's 18 years in prison.
As her release nears, things are particularly awkward. There's no tension around the question of whether they will be together after she gets out, only a question of what the nature of their non-relationship will take.
What starts out as a story of sexual awakening, something that Colette might have written, a ''Cherie and the Last of Cherie'' set in Germany after the war, is suddenly darkened by history and tragic secrets. In the end, one is both moved and disturbed, saddened and confused, and, above all, powerfully affected by a tale that seems to bear with it the weight of truth.
Schlink's daring fusion of 19th-century post-romantic, post-fairy-tale models with the awful history of the 20th century makes for a moving, suggestive and ultimately hopeful work, an original contribution to the impossible genre with the questionable name of Vergangenheitsbewaltigung, ''coming to terms with the past.''

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0375707972, Paperback)Oprah Book Club® Selection, February 1999: Originally published in Switzerland, and gracefully translated into English by Carol Brown Janeway, The Reader is a brief tale about sex, love, reading, and shame in postwar Germany. Michael Berg is 15 when he begins a long, obsessive affair with Hanna, an enigmatic older woman. He never learns very much about her, and when she disappears one day, he expects never to see her again. But, to his horror, he does. Hanna is a defendant in a trial related to Germany's Nazi past, and it soon becomes clear that she is guilty of an unspeakable crime. As Michael follows the trial, he struggles with an overwhelming question: What should his generation do with its knowledge of the Holocaust? "We should not believe we can comprehend the incomprehensible, we may not compare the incomparable.... Should we only fall silent in revulsion, shame, and guilt? To what purpose?"
The Reader, which won the Boston Book Review's Fisk Fiction Prize, wrestles with many more demons in its few, remarkably lucid pages. What does it mean to love those people--parents, grandparents, even lovers--who committed the worst atrocities the world has ever known? And is any atonement possible through literature? Schlink's prose is clean and pared down, stripped of unnecessary imagery, dialogue, and excess in any form. What remains is an austerely beautiful narrative of the attempt to breach the gap between Germany's pre- and postwar generations, between the guilty and the innocent, and between words and silence. --R. Ellis
