At the end of the day and at the end of our lives the only thing that we have ownership of is love. And, the love of family was everywhere as John Edward Rednour Sr. was admitted into hospice care at 10 p.m. Thursday at Marshall Browning Hospital in Du Quoin.
From then until his passing at approximately 1:40 a.m. Sunday there was love and closure on a life well-lived.
For 24 years, Du Quoin's political and financial world revolved around the man most simply called "Rednour."
Rednour, 78--who would have been 79 on Dec. 20--died from congestive heart failure two months after a cutting edge procedure at Barnes Hospital in St. Louis to catheterize his heart and implant an innovative dobutamine pump that would deliver output-strengthening medicine directly to his heart. His cardiologist was Dr. Benjamin Geltman who believed the procedure held promise for Rednour, who had an on-again, off-again history of cardiac care.
Rednour was chairman of the board and his family remains the majority shareholder of the Du Quoin State Bank after a rescue during the collapse of the Saad Jabr family interests in Du Quoin in the 1980s.
His 24-year tenure as mayor was the second longest in the city's history.
Only one other mayor-Arthur Angel--served longer as Du Quoin's mayor. Angel served from 1909-1910, then 1917-1918, again in 1922 and from 1925-1949. Rednour is part of an historic southern Illinois mayoral triad that includes Marion mayor Bob Butler, who has been mayor there since 1963 (now in his 12th full term) and former longtime Sesser Mayor Ned Mitchell, who will speak at the funeral on Wednesday.
Visitation is Tuesday, Dec. 3 from 3 p.m. until 8 p.m. and again on Wednesday from 9 a.m. until 11 a.m. at the Family Life Center at the First Baptist Church in Du Quoin with the funeral at 11 a.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 4 in the Family Life Center. Interment will be in Sunset Memorial Park (Complete Obituary on Today's Page 2).
The Perry County Courthouse and the Perry County Government Building will be closed from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. on Wednesday for the funeral. The City of Du Quoin is flying the American flag at half-staff.
Illinois lawmakers are expected to work around a special Tuesday session of the Illinois General Assembly that hopefully will be dismissed by 3 p.m. to be in Du Quoin on Wednesday for the funeral.
Any overflow will be moved into the church's sanctuary and friends may view the funeral on large screen monitors.
Rednour was a member of the Illinois State Police Merit Board. Members of the Illinois State Police honor guard are expected to share that detail with Du Quoin police. Illinois and federal lawmakers as well as members of the Democrat National Committee, on which Rednour served, are expected in Du Quoin,
Rednour's son, Du Quoin State Fair manager John Rednour Jr., reflected Sunday on the family's closure. "Last Saturday was great," he said. "All of the family has been with him. One of his favorite movies was 'The Quiet Man' with John Wayne. We watched that and we watched 'Emperor of the North' with Lee Marvin," he said.
"We watched the Kennedy anniversary and dad remembered everything. He liked the late Sen. Hubert Humphrey and liked Kennedy's charisma," said Rednour Jr.
"He'd go to Springfield and everyone knew him. Speaker of the House Tip O'Neil and President Barack Obama, while a senator, have been at the Rednour house, once home to the late Don and Ruby Hayes.
"Mom and Dad living here has been great for Du Quoin and for the fair," he said. "Dad was always a supporter and an advocate for the fair, wanting it to do well because it was a big part of Du Quoin. He has instilled in all of us the same thing," he said. "All of us love Du Quoin."
"Everyone is always welcome at their home."
On Monday, Feb. 11, 2013, Du Quoin's seven-term mayor formally announced his mid-term retirement to the city council, his staff and to the people of Du Quoin.
Rednour first won election and was seated in May 1989 after the retirement of the late Mayor Robert Armstrong. Over time, his seven terms have withstood mayoral election challenges from Bill Brewner Michael Bandur, Jeff Robinson and a very close race last year against his former finance commissioner, Guy Alongi.
Rednour, who grew up on the county's west side worrying about payroll for his fledgling iron business, rose to the ranks of site superintendent for the United Ironworkers during construction of the Marion federal prison. Wife Wanda drove a truck for Rednour Steel Erectors.
"We got married when he was 17 and I was 15," Wanda said while at his bedside over the weekend. "They said it wouldn't last and we have been married 61 years," she smiled.
When he spoke of his planned retirement from city service in December 2012 the mayor said simply, "It's time."
The comment was soft-spoken.
"John really didn't want to run again," Wanda said. "He just cared about the town."
No hint of politics. No hint of "this is all that I've done." Just reflective that he is grateful to be part of that oft-times illusive American Dream.
Love him. Hate him. Be jealous of him. But, he always commanded your respect. And, for people who knew him well, there was love.
In recent months, Rednour admitted to a nagging emptiness since the loss of city administrator, friend and confidant Blaine Bastien. But, he fully believed in the ability of his successor Rex Duncan to lead the city.
Rex Duncan: "Mayor Rednour's impact on Du Quoin will endure for years and years. I'm so thankful that John and Wanda and their family chose Du Quoin as their home.
"I'm thankful that he was my friend and my mentor. I learned about inclusive governance from him, the kind that makes room for all citizens seeking an opportunity to serve their community in good faith. John was a master of that.
"He didn't try to do everything himself. He provided the platforms for good people to become involved in the various boards and commissions and he trusted them to make good decisions.
"Look at the numbers of citizens who serve today. That inclusiveness may be John's greatest legacy. Du Quoin today is a place where good ideas are generated, leadership encouraged, and things get done.
"One other quality about John that I greatly admire is his leadership. John breathed leadership. His service as mayor, and before that county board chairman and Cutler school board president, were in response to a calling he had to lead, a willingness to take charge and make things better.
"In one respect he didn't need to be mayor. He had plenty of other things to do in his private and business life. On the other hand, he had to be mayor because of the call of the gift of leadership that he was given at birth.
"It's said that to whom great things are given much is expected. John was given a great gift of leadership, and he lived his life rising to make the most of that gift, and Du Quoin is so much the better for it," Duncan said.
Duncan changed careers from education to city administration in 2000 when he left Rend Lake College to become city clerk. Three years later he accepted a position in SIU president Glenn Poshard's office as director of community development and outreach in the Office of Economic and Regional Development. Blaine Bastien became city clerk in 2003 and was later named city administrator.
Rednour retired from the Democrat National Committee to which he was appointed in 1972 earlier this year. He had also been Illinois Democrat party chairman. He was what's known as a Super Delegate and one of the three most tenured members of the committee. He was a past member of the Du Quoin Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors and from the Mantra-Con workforce board in Marion. He served on the Illinois State Police Merit Board and the Perry County Housing Authority Board.
Early in his career, Rednour said he needed a paycheck, quit school and went to work at age 16 after his father suffered a heart attack and his mother became unable to work due to near blindness. He went to work at the Chester "shoe factory."
He went on to become an iron worker, first at the Joppa power plant, then around East St. Louis, then Chicago and eventually the Marion federal prison, where he served as site superintendent. He decided that he could hang iron as a business. He formed Rednour Steel Erectors. Wife Wanda--the love of his life and "best partner you could have" --drove a pickup truck and, on occasion, climbed into the cab of a City of Du Quoin street department truck to help landscape downtown Du Quoin.
Rednour served as a Cutler High School board member and president in his 20s while living in Percy. It's the same school he dropped out of in the middle of his sophomore year.
He served two terms as Perry county commissioner from 1967 until 1973 during turbulent times in Democrat politics.
He served as Perry County Democrat party chairman. He was one member of a five-member Illinois State Police merit board (since 1986) and was an advocate for promising downstate law enforcement officers.
And, he was mayor of the City of Du Quoin.
At the end of the day, Rednour always asked "Is it good for Du Quoin?" and he asks others to do the same.
You can't argue with his success:
When you grow up in impossible economic times in Percy and Cutler, you know that hard work and imagination are our future, not blind optimism and willful ignorance that things will change if we don't think about it.
As for imagination, imagine Du Quoin today without the Poplar Street overpass ($4.2 million), without the new Illinois District 13 state police command ($6 million) , without the Southern Illinois Center ($13 million), or the fire department's aerial ladder truck ($400,000) and new equipment since.
A new medical development was completed in the closing days of his watch.
"Zoning has been important," he told the newspaper last December. There were a lot of opponents. There were opponents to home rule, yet little opposition to a half-cent sales tax allowed by home rule that he carried into a referendum that would help finance the local share of the new high school bonding. That school was recently completed.
Du Quoin's committees set the standard for tourism and effective community service.
Rednour has twice been a guest at the White House and was invited by President Jimmy Carter to fly onboard Air Force One.
Rednour once said people may not understand how he feels about the city. There's something about it; maybe it was the welcome everyone gave his family when they moved here in 1970.
The Poplar Street overpass was first discussed in the 1960s and talked about throughout the 70s and 80s. It didn't happen until Rednour was in office and he was successful in getting a huge federal grant with the assistance of Congressman Glenn Poshard. "That happened about the time we changed from Poshard's district to Costello's.
"The overpass was around a four million dollar project and didn't cost the citizens of Du Quoin a penny," Rednour said during the same interview. "And it was one of my three campaign promises when I first ran for mayor in 1989.
The second was developing an industrial park and the third hiring a health officer.
Du Quoin's Business Association matched the city's $40,000 to get the industrial park project off the ground and a $700,000 federal grant, largely through the cooperation of Congressman Jerry Costello, completed it. Working with Ameren and the Main Street project he effected new downtown lighting and put downtown power lines underground. Nearly $3 million in new Washington Street and Main Street water lines and downtown sidewalks were approved on his watch. He made his case to Gov. Ryan for purchasing Arch of Illinois' acreage to add to Pyramid State Park. Illinois' governors have been his next door neighbors at the Du Quoin State Fair for many years.
He credited one of his first commissioners, Bill Daulby, with early successes, including acquiring the Duncan & Fry Furniture Co. building for use as a new city hall and library and a new water tower. They worked together on the city's $6 million wastewater treatment plant project. That's about the only major borrowing the city has had.
The biggest deal of his career: Wresting ownership of the Du Quoin State Bank from Iraqi national Saad Jabr in the early 1980s and turning it back into a community bank. He sealed the deal with a personal pledge of $300,000 to Boatman's Bank in St. Louis--deal or no deal. He and local shareholders made the deal. Today, the bank has assets of well over $100 million.
The bank is modern, well maintained, well capitalized and is one of the strongest banks in Southern Illinois. The Southtowne bank, its digital message board and the installation of new roof systems, emergency generator and security software updates has it poised for the future. "I believe in that," he said.
But, it was not without its miscues in the early going, Rednour says the biggest heartbreak of his career was the crash of Air Illinois flight 710 on October 11, 1983, which killed 10 near Tamaroa. Air Illinois was owned by the Sabr Group, Rednour proteges in the day. "I knew the pilot personally (Capt. Lester Smith, age 32, of Carbondale.)"
The airline was on track to make a million dollar profit that year before the FAA decided to make an example out of a crewman's fatal mistake to shut down the aircraft's working generator instead of the one that failed. The plane was southbound from Chicago to Carbondale with a stop at the Capitol Airport in Springfield. It developed problems over Hillsboro, but the pilot tried to limp it back to the Southern Illinois Airport and was within minutes of the airport's landing lights.
He never forgot the lives changed forever.

Superman's New Costume
What are your thoughts on Superman's new costume without the traditional red trunks?
Here is a shot from the final panel of the newly rebooted Justice League #1:
And the new costume is not just in the comics. Here's a shot of Henry Cavill from the set of the upcoming Man of Steel (to be released in 2013):
No, Cavill's version is not going to lose the cape; this is a non-shooting photo.
However, here's my thing: I realize that to moderns, Superman's traditional red trunks seem kind of like he's wearing his underwear on the outside of the costume if it's thought about too much. However, from a stylistic viewpoint, the red trunks always seemed to balance the costume. Is it just me now, or does Superman's new outfit look a little bit like he's wearing red boots with blue pajamas—something kids might do to pretend they're Superman?
The new costume in the comic books also sports a militarized collar. How's that going to work under Clark Kent's suit?

Deadly bomb blast rocks U.N. building in Nigerian capital By the CNN Wire Staff August 26, 2011 9:39 a.m. EDT Abuja, Nigeria (CNN) -- At least 18 people were killed in a bombing at a U.N. building in the Nigerian capital of Abuja, a police spokesman said Friday. Police commissioner Michael Zuokumo told reporters eight people had been injured. Rescue officials are at the scene helping to pull the dead and injured from the rubble. Bomb squad officers and other security teams were sent to the scene, deputy police spokesman Yemi Ajayi said. Yushau Shuaib, a spokesman for Nigeria's National Emergency Management Agency, said the attack had been a car bombing. The driver had passed through the first and second gates of the compound up to reception before detonating the explosives, Shuaib said. A representative for the National Hospital said there was a shortage of blood to use in surgery. Hospital staff and relatives of the injured are currently going to the blood bank to donate. The hospital has called in all doctors and nurses who were not working Friday to deal with the emergency, the spokeswoman said, as ambulances brought people in. A witness outside the U.N. building at the time of the attack told CNN she had seen a white SUV drive through the main gate of the compound quickly. U.N. office building blast in Nigeria RELATED TOPICS Abuja Nigeria She then heard two explosions in quick succession, the second one much larger and followed by the shattering of glass, before running to safety. Images from the scene showed severe damage to the bottom floors of the building, with windows blown in and debris scattered around. Eyewitnesses in the U.N. building told CNN there was an explosion, then an internal wall fell on some people, causing several casualties. U K Foreign Secretary William Hague said he was shocked by the attack. "This brutal act has killed and injured many innocent people, and I utterly condemn those who have carried it out," he said. "Around the world the U.N. works for peace, security and international cooperation and an attack on the U.N. is an attack on these principles." Alessandra Vellucci at the United Nations in Geneva, Switzerland, confirmed that the "U.N. premises in Abuja have been bombed" but was unable to give more details. The building is home to the main U.N missions operating in Nigeria and may have had as many as 400 people inside. Abdulkadir said the area was not very busy because it was a diplomatic district, with the Liberian and U.S. embassies nearby, but that there were people working there. A spokeswoman for the U.S. embassy in Abuja, Deborah MacLean, told CNN that there had been no damage to the embassy building, which is half a mile from the U.N. building. Embassy personnel were initially told to be careful in case of further violence, she said. Zoran Jovanovic, head of mission for the International Red Cross in Abuja, said the explosion was heard at 10:15 a.m. local time. The U.N. building was in a large compound that had five gates, Jovanovic said, adding that the area was also home to western African embassies. It is not yet clear who was responsible for the attack.

Blundstones and cargo bikes
When I'm riding around town for errands, to an fro meetings and other important stuff, I'm usually in Blundtones. Like these slip ons or their new lace-up version, the 268.
Chukka style with bike
Beside the legendary blunnie comfort, it's the patina they develop I like most. Lather them up with a good layer of NikWax and wear them in the worst conditions. Blundstone is based in Tasmania and their boots are made of natural materials. They aren't cheap, but will last. Find the 268 or 064 at a retailer near you.

Good family movie. Excelente story. I am repeating this movie next week.
Loved to see Doctor Who in this movie. Many funny scenes.
I took my four nieces to see this movie it was fantastic! Definitely go see this movie with kids or with an adult you will definitely enjoy it.
I took my grandson but now I have to take my husband. It's not just for kids.
Don't believe the person who said it was over-rated. This movie is fantastic. Hugh Grant was a fun surprise.
Someone said the first one was better but I disagree. He got into so many scrapes the first time - like the bathtub flood - too much. This one was perfect.
3 generations of us just loved it. Better than the first. Mystery and suspense and a happy ending for all. Paddington makes everyone and everything better - neighbors and prisoners alike. Fun to see Hugh Grant in a different kind of role.
Good fimily movie
Totally overrated...
We had so much fun.

Mother's Day is just around the corner and SFGate wants to honor moms. We're asking readers to email a special photo of their mother along with a 100-word tribute to email@example.com by May 8. Please include "Mother's Day Tribute" in the subject line.
If your actual mom wasn't the primary mother figure in your life, then tell us about an aunt, a babysitter, a grandmother, a teacher, or anyone who provided you with encouragement, support and wisdom to help you get through life.
Below is a tribute we received yesterday. Alan Castaneda writes thoughtfully about his mother who raised six children and three nephews. Hopefully, his story will inspire you to email a tribute.
What can you say about the woman who raised six children of her own as well as 3 nephews and countless others in a two-bedroom home in a small copper mining town in Arizona? My mom met my father when they were both in first grade in Miami, Ariz. After that initial meeting, there was never anyone else for her. My mother and father spent the next 61 years of married life raising their children, living a simple life and reveling in the company of each other.
Sometimes out of boredom but mostly out of financial need, my mother worked off and on during the time that she raised all of us. She kept my father's books for his pest control company, did his taxes, made the meals, did the laundry, gave the hugs, told a great story and played the piano and organ while she sang. She did it all because that is what you do. You love with all your heart and live with all your strength.
A smile and a laugh from her was enough to make your day. A glare from her over the organ while she played for church services was enough to put you on your best behavior. She gave and instilled the greatest of love and loyalty from everyone and made our worlds safe and calm.
The greatest gifts any parent can give their children is the gift of a happy childhood and a loving home. We were the lucky recipients of these gifts and are now the keepers of these gifts to pass to our children and their children. What an awesome responsibility.

Need some pointers on my first simple stand mixer at a reasonable price for bread baking.
I enjoy making bread for myself and family. I tried a bread machine from Cuisinart and it left grease streaks in dough which forced me to return it. Upon looking for another bread machine I noticed that every one of them seemed to suffer from poor quality in some form or another. So I figured to myself, I just don't like the kneading, so why not get a mixer. Ive looked around and noticed they are pretty expensive and I really cannot afford an expensive model. My max is really going to be around $200, no more than that is possible.
I am a simple user, if I make bread I am only making one loaf at a time(maybe two on the rarest occasion). There will never be a time when I am making 3 loaves at a time. I mainly like to make wheat, rye, pumpernickel and white bread. Sometimes sweet breads as well.
After some looking around I came upon the BOSCH Compact Mixer from Pleasant hill grain. It seems to be a good price at $149, but I am new to this and not sure if this is a good unit. I sometimes also will mix cake batter or egg whites, but not much more than that.
This seems like a great community, so hopefully some opinions can lead me in the correct direction for my needs. Thank you.

Sinclair Cattle Co. Ranked First In Angus Registrations
Sinclair Cattle Co, Warfordsburg, ranked as largest in registering the most Angus beef cattle in Pennsylvania, having recorded 933 head of Angus with the American Angus Association ® during fiscal year 2011, which ended Sept. 30, according to Bryce Schumann, CEO of the American Angus Association.
Angus breeders across the nation in 2011 registered 294,975 head of Angus cattle. "Our year-end statistics continue to demonstrate strong demand for Angus genetics and solidify our long-held position as a leader in the beef cattle industry," Schumann said. "These results underscore our members' commitment to providing genetic solutions to the beef cattle industry."
The American Angus Association, headquartered in Saint Joseph, Mo., is the largest beef registry association in the world in terms of both annual registrations and active members.

There's a whole side to Batman's origin story that Christopher Nolan never told us about. In the fan-made film Batman: False Start, we learn that mastering that classic "I am Batman" growl took plenty of practice — and at least one crimefighting mission gone fatally awry.

The preparation of buttercream went well, but I felt that the buttercream was a bit too thin (liquid-y). I refrigerated the buttercream for quite a bit before spreading. The circles were stacked on top of each other with a layer of buttercream icing in between. Because the buttercream was so soft it was tough holding the stacks together. I put the cake stacks in the freezer for a while. Once they were manageable, I put a toothpick through the center to hold the layers together.
I wanted the caramel coated cake piece to be stiff so that it would stand up on top of the cake. Instead of the caramel covered cake wedges, I cut out a piece of cake from the rectangle cake made from the excess batter and coated in caramel. The caramel was made by heating sugar with a bit of water until the melted sugar turned dark brown. The caramel was poured on top of the cake cut-out and allowed to harden.
The cakes were decorated with the caramel cake cut-out, chocolate pipings, chopped and whole hazelnuts and chopped almonds.
We really enjoyed the Dobos torte, it was amazing!! They were actually fun to assemble, except for the fact that the buttercream was a little too soft. But it was sooooo delicious. This is the first time that I made buttercream icing with eggs. The flavors went well together especially the buttercream and the hazelnut combo. JM mentioned that he wouldve loved a bit of chopped hazelnuts between each cake layer. The whole thing was so delicious, our individual cakes disappeared in a couple of minutes. My only suggestion would be to moisten the cake layers with a flavored syrup/juice before stacking, as I found them a little chewy and dry. But all in all, the textures and the flavors went extremely well together especially the toasted hazelnuts with the buttercream icing. One more amazing challenge that I am happy about!!
I had some buttercream icing left over which LM really enjoyed the nest day as an awesome bread-spread, yes a spread for bread!! Actually I enjoyed the sandwich just as much as lil LM.
- 2 baking sheets
- 9" (23cm) springform tin and 8" cake tin, for templates
- mixing bowls (1 medium, 1 large)
- a sieve
- a double boiler (a large saucepan plus a large heat-proof mixing bowl which fits snugly over the top of the pan)
- a small saucepan
- a whisk (you could use a balloon whisk for the entire cake, but an electric hand whisk or stand mixer will make life much easier)
- metal offset spatula
- sharp knife
- a 7 1/2" cardboard cake round, or just build cake on the base of a sprinfrom tin.
- piping bag and tip, optional
Prep times
- Sponge layers 20 mins prep, 40 mins cooking total if baking each layer individually.
- Buttercream: 20 mins cooking. Cooling time for buttercream: about 1 hour plus 10 minutes after this to beat and divide.
- Caramel layer: 10-15 minutes.
- Assembly of whole cake: 20 minutes
Sponge cake layers
- 6 large eggs, separated, at room temperature
- 1 1/3 cups (162g) confectioner's (icing) sugar, divided
- 1 teaspoon (5ml) vanilla extract
- 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons (112g) sifted cake flour (SUBSTITUTE 95g plain flour + 17g cornflour (cornstarch) sifted together)
- pinch of salt
Chocolate Buttercream
- 4 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 cup (200g) caster (ultrafine or superfine white) sugar
- 4oz (110g) bakers chocolate or your favourite dark chocolate, finely chopped
- 2 sticks plus 2 tablespoons (250g) unsalted butter, at room temperature.
Caramel topping
- 1 cup (200g) caster (superfine or ultrafine white) sugar
- 12 tablespoons (180 ml) water
- 8 teaspoons (40 ml) lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon neutral oil (e.g. grapeseed, rice bran, sunflower)
Finishing touches
- a 7" cardboard round
- 12 whole hazelnuts, peeled and toasted
- ½ cup (50g) peeled and finely chopped hazelnuts
Directions for the sponge layers:
NB. The sponge layers can be prepared in advance and stored interleaved with parchment and well-wrapped in the fridge overnight.
1.Position the racks in the top and centre thirds of the oven and heat to 400F (200C).
2.Cut six pieces of parchment paper to fit the baking sheets. Using the bottom of a 9" (23cm) springform tin as a template and a dark pencil or a pen, trace a circle on each of the papers, and turn them over (the circle should be visible from the other side, so that the graphite or ink doesn't touch the cake batter.)
3.Beat the egg yolks, 2/3 cup (81g) of the confectioner's (icing) sugar, and the vanilla in a medium bowl with a mixer on high speed until the mixture is thick, pale yellow and forms a thick ribbon when the beaters are lifted a few inches above the batter, about 3 minutes. (You can do this step with a balloon whisk if you don't have a mixer.)
4.In another bowl, using clean beaters, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in the remaining 2/3 cup (81g) of confectioner's (icing) sugar until the whites form stiff, shiny peaks. Using a large rubber spatula, stir about 1/4 of the beaten whites into the egg yolk mixture, then fold in the remainder, leaving a few wisps of white visible. Combine the flour and salt. Sift half the flour over the eggs, and fold in; repeat with the remaining flour.
5.Line one of the baking sheets with a circle-marked paper. Using a small offset spatula, spread about 3/4 cup of the batter in an even layer, filling in the traced circle on one baking sheet. Bake on the top rack for 5 minutes, until the cake springs back when pressed gently in the centre and the edges are lightly browned. While this cake bakes, repeat the process on the other baking sheet, placing it on the centre rack. When the first cake is done, move the second cake to the top rack. Invert the first cake onto a flat surface and carefully peel off the paper. Slide the cake layer back onto the paper and let stand until cool. Rinse the baking sheet under cold running water to cool, and dry it before lining with another parchment. Continue with the remaining papers and batter to make a total of six layers. Completely cool the layers. Using an 8" springform pan bottom or plate as a template, trim each cake layer into a neat round. (A small serrated knife is best for this task.)
Directions for the chocolate buttercream:
NB. This can be prepared in advance and kept chilled until required.
1.Prepare a double-boiler: quarter-fill a large saucepan with water and bring it to a boil.
2.Meanwhile, whisk the eggs with the sugar until pale and thickened, about five minutes. You can use a balloon whisk or electric hand mixer for this.
3.Fit bowl over the boiling water in the saucepan (water should not touch bowl) and lower the heat to a brisk simmer. Cook the egg mixture, whisking constantly, for 2-3 minutes until you see it starting to thicken a bit. Whisk in the finely chopped chocolate and cook, stirring, for a further 2-3 minutes.
4.Scrape the chocolate mixture into a medium bowl and leave to cool to room temperature. It should be quite thick and sticky in consistency.
5.When cool, beat in the soft butter, a small piece (about 2 tablespoons/30g) at a time. An electric hand mixer is great here, but it is possible to beat the butter in with a spatula if it is soft enough. You should end up with a thick, velvety chocolate buttercream. Chill while you make the caramel topping.
Lorraine's note: If you're in Winter just now your butter might not soften enough at room temperature, which leads to lumps forming in the buttercream. Male sure the butter is of a very soft texture I.e. running a knife through it will provide little resistance, before you try to beat it into the chocolate mixture. Also, if you beat the butter in while the chocolate mixture is hot you'll end up with more of a ganache than a buttercream!
Directions for the caramel topping:
1.Choose the best-looking cake layer for the caramel top. To make the caramel topping: Line a jellyroll pan with parchment paper and butter the paper. Place the reserved cake layer on the paper. Score the cake into 12 equal wedges. Lightly oil a thin, sharp knife and an offset metal spatula.
2.Stir the sugar, water and lemon juice in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over a medium heat, stirring often to dissolve the sugar. Once dissolved into a smooth syrup, turn the heat up to high and boil without stirring, swirling the pan by the handle occasionally and washing down any sugar crystals on the sides of the pan with a wet brush until the syrup has turned into an amber-coloured caramel.
3.The top layer is perhaps the hardest part of the whole cake so make sure you have a oiled, hot offset spatula ready. I also find it helps if the cake layer hasn't just been taken out of the refrigerator. I made mine ahead of time and the cake layer was cold and the toffee set very, very quickly—too quickly for me to spread it. Immediately pour all of the hot caramel over the cake layer. You will have some leftover most probably but more is better than less and you can always make nice toffee pattern using the extra to decorate. Using the offset spatula, quickly spread the caramel evenly to the edge of the cake layer. Let cool until beginning to set, about 30 seconds. Using the tip of the hot oiled knife (keep re-oiling this with a pastry brush between cutting), cut through the scored marks to divide the caramel layer into 12 equal wedges. Cool another minute or so, then use the edge of the knife to completely cut and separate the wedges using one firm slice movement (rather than rocking back and forth which may produce toffee strands). Cool completely.
Angela's note: I recommend cutting, rather than scoring, the cake layer into wedges before covering in caramel (reform them into a round). If you have an 8" silicon round form, then I highly recommend placing the wedges in that for easy removal later and it also ensures that the caramel stays on the cake layer. Once set, use a very sharp knife to separate the wedges.
Assembling the Dobos
1.Divide the buttercream into six equal parts.
2.Place a dab of chocolate buttercream on the middle of a 7 1/2" cardboard round and top with one cake layer. Spread the layer with one part of the chocolate icing. Repeat with 4 more cake layers. Spread the remaining icing on the sides of the cake.
3.Optional: press the finely chopped hazelnuts onto the sides of the cake.
4.Propping a hazelnut under each wedge so that it sits at an angle, arrange the wedges on top of the cake in a spoke pattern. If you have any leftover buttercream, you can pipe rosettes under each hazelnut or a large rosette in the centre of the cake. Refrigerate the cake under a cake dome until the icing is set, about 2 hours. Let slices come to room temperature for the best possible flavour.
I (Angela) am quite happy to store this cake at room temperature under a glass dome, but your mileage may vary. If you do decide to chill it, then I would advise also using a glass dome if you have done. I should also note that the cake will cut more cleanly when chilled.
Shape: The traditional shape of a Dobos Torta is a circular cake, but you can vary the shape and size if you want. Sherry Yard in Desserts By The Yard makes a skyscraper Dobos by cutting a full-size cake into four wedges and stacking them to create a tall, sail-shaped cake. Mini Dobos would be very cute, and you could perch a little disc of caramel on top.
Flavour: While we both love the dark chocolate buttercream and this is traditional, we think it would be fun to see what fun buttercreams you all come up with! So, go wild! Or, you could brush each layer with a flavoured syrup if you just want a hint of a second flavour. Cointreau syrup would be divine!
Nuts: These are optional for decoration, so no worries if you're allergic to them. If you don't like hazelnuts, then substitute for another variety that you like.
Egg concerns
The cooking process for the buttercream will produce lightly cooked eggs. If you fall into a vulnerable health group then you may wish to use an egg-less buttercream.
Hope you all liked my version of Dobos torte. If you would like to see how I did in my previous DB challenges, click here. Please do take a moment to go through some of the fellow DB members blogs.
Thank you for visiting me today. Have a great day!!

Well, I am starting the new year the same way I did last year- with a hard drive failure. Last year my WD My Book Essential crashed a bit unexpectedly. Western Digital replaced the drive. A couple of weeks ago, it starting going bad again. I have been trying to upload as much as possible to create a backup but still, I will lose over 1 TB of scraps- all purchased this year. I had not been backing up as I go because as I understand, the backup services delete files once they are deleted from your computer. Completely getting rid of the drive would be the same as deleting the files right?
So, I will not buy Western Digital drives again (I have 2 Seagate drives that are older and have had no problems). Thought I would share this experience so others can hopefully avoid my mistakes...

Presenting Alfred Hitchcock
By: Linnea Crowther
6 years ago
Thirty-two years after Alfred Hitchcock's death Apr. 29, 1980, Sir Anthony Hopkins is making a new Hitchcock movie. No, not a long-lost thriller from the great filmmaker's pen – it's a biopic of the man himself. But as we all know, biopics rarely tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth. They often leave out crucial information, and sometimes they invent for the sake of a good story.
We don't know yet just what information new movie Hitchcock will get right and what it will fabricate or embellish, but in preparation for the silver screen story of one of Hollywood's greatest legends, we offer five facts. Commit them to memory, and later this year you'll be able to school your friends on the real story when you watch Hopkins play Hitchcock.
1. When Hitchcock was 5, his father punished him for misbehaving by sending him to the police station with a note asking them to lock him up for 10 minutes. As Hitchcock told it, the police followed through, putting him behind bars briefly and offering a lecture – and he never forgot it. Wrongful accusation and harsh punishment were frequent themes in his films.
2. Hitchcock was notorious for his supposed dislike of actors, but he denied believing that actors were "like cattle," as he was reported to have said. His meticulous attention to detail did lead to clashes with actors, who struggled with the discipline it took to shoot scenes over and over until they were perfect (and when you're talking about scenes like the long, continuous shots in the Farley Granger thriller Rope, each of which was up to 10 minutes long, that's a lot of discipline). Hitchcock was public about his disdain for stars who couldn't hack it or commit 100 percent to his difficult production schedule.
3. Another notable example of Hitchcock's perfectionism comes from his classic horror film Psycho, starring Anthony Perkins and Janet Leigh. The iconic scene – just three minutes long – took seven days to shoot. Leigh, the unfortunate bather, spent most of that time in the shower. A popular rumor has Hitchcock turning cold water on Leigh to enhance her screams, but Leigh insisted that the director was generous with the hot water – and her screams were just great acting.
4. The term "MacGuffin" – a misleading piece of information in a film that seems important, but doesn't contribute to the plot – was popularized by Hitchcock. He explained the nonsensical concept with this equally nonsensical story: "It might be a Scottish name, taken from a story about two men in a train. One man says 'What's that package up there in the baggage rack?,' and the other answers 'Oh, that's a MacGuffin.' The first one asks 'What's a MacGuffin?' 'Well,' the other man says, 'It's an apparatus for trapping lions in the Scottish Highlands.' The first man says 'But there are no lions in the Scottish Highlands,' and the other one answers 'Well, then that's no MacGuffin!' So you see, a MacGuffin is nothing at all." Makes perfect sense, right?
5. If you're a fan, you probably know that Hitchcock made cameos in the majority of his films. In Lifeboat he appears in a newspaper photograph; he carries a double bass in Strangers on a Train; he mails a letter in Suspicion; and he shows up in a class reunion photo in Dial M for Murder. The trend began with Hitchcock filling in for obscure extras, but as fans caught on and became delighted with his appearances, he made them more prominent – and he also began to place them early in the film, often within the first few minutes, to prevent moviegoers from watching so avidly for his cameo that they forgot to pay attention to the plot.

After being swept in the regular season by Mercer, the Lady Bucs were finally able to get revenge on Friday afternoon. ETSU exploded out the gates in the Atlantic Sun semifinal contest and never gave the Bears a chance to know what hit them, as the Lady Bucs cruised their way to an 82-60 victory inside Lipscomb's Allen Arena.
Junior TaRonda Wiles (
The win marked ETSU's eighth straight victory in
"I was so proud of how our team came out and opened up the game" commented head coach Karen Kemp, whose team is now one win away of making the NCAA Tournament for the second straight season. "We talked about how the team needed to get off to a strong start and jump on them early, so I was pleased with how we executed our game plan on both ends of the court early on. Our fans also gave us a lift, as they were behind us from the opening tip and we appreciated their support."
The Lady Bucs came out focused and on a mission to start the game, as ETSU hit five of its first six shot attempts and took a 12-3 lead into the first media timeout at the 15:58 mark. Wiles and Washington - a pair of all-conference selections - got the Lady Bucs rolling as they accounted for 10 of the first 12 points.
The fireworks continued over the next five-plus minutes as ETSU was able extend its lead to 16, 21-5, after sophomore Shannon White (Kansas City, Kan.) laid one in on fast break, forcing Mercer to burn a 30-second timeout with 12:54 on the clock. A flurry of 3-pointers by ETSU kept the pressure on Bears thanks to Natalie Pickwell (
Mercer went on a brief run from 10:44 mark to 7:32 left in the half and lowered its deficit to nine (29-20), but a (Tara) Davis 3-pointer silenced the Bears, as ETSU pushed its lead back into double figures, 32-20.
ETSU continued pouring it on the Bears and Evans' put-back as time expired gave the Lady Bucs a 44-28 lead at the break. Evans converted the three-point play when she was fouled on the tip in.
The Lady Bucs shot a blistering 62.1 percent (18-29) and connected on six of their 13 three-point attempts (46.2 percent) during the first 20 minutes of action. ETSU also assisted on 12 of its 18 made field goals and out-rebounded Mercer, 22 to 16. Wiles paced the Lady Bucs with 14 points, while Courtney Ford netted 12 for the Bears.
Mercer quickly started the second half on a 5-0 run, but again Davis stepped up and sank a huge 3-pointer and Washington's offensive rebound on an Evans missed three resulted in an easy lay-up - putting ETSU back up 14, 49-35, with 17:39 left in the contest.
From there, the Lady Bucs moved their margin to 19, 60-41, when Evans sank a pair of free throws at the 13:38 mark, but after the Bears held ETSU without a field goal for nearly nine minutes, Mercer was able to clip the deficit down to nine (66-57) with 6:34 left in the contest.
However, ETSU finally snapped out of its field goal drought when Evans nailed a 3-pointer with the shot clock winding down, and Wiles' three-point play capped off any thought of a Mercer rally as the Lady Bucs led 72-57 with 5:36 remaining in the game. Eventually ETSU closed out the game on a 10-3 run to walk away with the 22-point victory.
For the game, ETSU shot a season-high 54.0 percent from the floor (27-50) and the Lady Bucs were also solid from beyond the arc - going 9-of-20 (45.0 percent). The Lady Bucs dominated the Bears on the boards - 45 to 31 - and ETSU converted 16 offensive rebounds into 19 points.
After shooting 58.5 percent from the field last Saturday against ETSU, the Bears finished with a 35.2 clip (25-71). The Bears saw three players score in double figures with Dominique Chism netting a team high 18.
ETSU now awaits the winner of Jacksonville/Belmont (currently in progress) for the 2009 Atlantic Sun Championship on Saturday. Tip time is set for noon (1 p.m. eastern).

Specialized Deflect Reflect Hybrid Jacket
Making a jacket that does one thing well is pretty easy. Making a jacket that does one thing perfectly is pretty hard. And making a jacket does everything exceptionally is next to impossible. Well, you could say that they specialize in the impossible, because the new Deflect Reflect Hybrid Jacket flawlessly performs a bevy of duties, from protection to visibility.
Starting with protection, it's made from Specialized's wind- and water-resistant Deflect material. This fabric is extremely lightweight and breathable, so you won't ever experience that rainforest feeling in high humidity conditions. But if things do start to heat up while you're throwing down the watts, they've included two front vents, a large back vent, and laser perforated exhaust points throughout the jacket. To keep water out, the jacket also features adjustable wrist seals, a zipper garage at the collar, a drop tail to deflect road-spray, and an adjustable drawcord hem.
Specialized also designed this jacket to be extremely versatile, and to complement this, the sleeves are made to be completely removable. This way, you're able to wear it as a jacket when it's pouring, and then zip off the sleeves and stow them away after you catch a break in the weather.
Now, to tackle the "reflect" portion of the title, this jacket features a Schoeller fabric with 3M reflective technology that takes millions of microscopic glass beads and permanently seals them to the fabric structure. As you can imagine, this feature will increase your visibility to others on the road when it encounters light. And better yet, this benefit will not wash out over time.

Yes, I was foolish enough to spend my dough on this jacket. Not even worn outside yet and the so-called 3M reflective material seems to be flaking off on the back...I just swept my hand over it once or twice while trying it on for size, these 'holes' (where the reflective cover seems to peel off) leaves 'black holes' on the otherwise reflective surfaces. Totally disappointed as I can only imagine that with use...things will simply worsen. Have I gotten a defective, not a reflective one??

Tottenham moved in to third place in the Barclays Premier League after returning to winning ways with a narrow 1-0 victory over Sunderland at White Hart Lane.
Harry Redknapp's men failed to test Sunderland goalkeeper Keiren Westwood in a dull first half, but they sprung to life on the hour and took the lead through substitute Roman Pavlyuchenko's fierce drive.
Sunderland would have taken something from the game had it not been for Spurs stopper Brad Friedel, who saved well from Sebastian Larsson and Kieran Richardson while Luka Modric missed a gilt-edged chance to make it 2-0 at the other end, blazing over an open goal deep inside the second period.

"Pipe Dream"
Homeless golf pro Mark Burk (left) is the subject of a Golf Channel reality series produced by Adam Cohen '02.
January 11, 2011
When Adam Cohen '02 met Mark Burk, a homeless man with a dream as big as his life's problems, the Bradley alum decided the rest of the country should meet him, too.
Tonight, Cohen and Golf Channel will introduce us to Burk with the premiere of "Pipe Dream," a reality series that follows the talented golfer's pursuit of the PGA Tour. The project is the brainchild of Cohen and his cousin and business partner, Mitch Gettleman, who discovered Burk's intriguing story after waiting an hour and a half to play golf with a friend.
"We were meeting our friend, a professional golfer, but he was late because he had to track down Mark, who was wandering the streets," said Cohen. "Then, when he found him, they had to go to a consignment shop to pick up Mark's clubs because he had sold them to get money for food."
As they played, Burk shared his woeful tale of a dramatic breakup with supermodel Beverly Johnson that left him homeless and wrought with legal trouble over accusations of domestic violence, all while hitting every fairway and shooting just three over par. Turns out, Burk was a former golf pro trying to get his life back together and hoping to one day play on the PGA Champions Tour.
"Afterwards, we approached him and said we were interested in his story with the legal stuff, but thought the real story was golf and asked if he'd be up for doing a show," said Cohen, who has worked on several reality television shows and other productions in Hollywood since graduating from Bradley's Slane College of Communications and Fine Arts.
At Bradley, Cohen learned about lighting, camera operation, storytelling and editing from broadcast veterans, and every weekend he traveled to Chicago to work on the crew of a sitcom on Fridays and Chicago Bears football games on Sundays for WBBM radio. It was the perfect combination of classroom and field experience to help him launch a career in one of the must cutthroat industries and handle the arduous process of pitching his reality series to production companies across the country.
Cohen and Gettleman prepared a written treatment of their show and got it in the hands of another producer who was meeting with Golf Channel executives in New York City, hoping to get a green light for some of his own work. Their messenger casually suggested the Burk project as one last thing to consider before wrapping up the meeting. After a quick read, and without seeing any video or ever meeting the golf pro, Cohen, or Gettleman, the executives were sold.
"They took a quick look and said, 'When can we start shooting?'" said Cohen. "We shot the pilot in ten days and three weeks into editing the first act, they picked up the whole series."
The series includes 10 episodes that will each air 10 times a week on Golf Channel. Viewers will have to keep watching to find out whether the homeless golfer finds success, but Cohen's achievement is already clear. He hopes ratings will allow for another season and a deeper look into Burk's determined struggle.
"My impression of homelessness has really changed. Especially with the state of the economy now, someone could be living next door to you one day and the next day they're in a shelter," said Cohen. "It's a sad story, but an inspirational story that we're trying to tell, about a guy trying to get his life together through golf."
