The Evolution of Modern Europe
A survey of Western and Central Europe and Great Britain from th 18th to the 20th century. The focus is on the revolutions which produced modern Europe, notably the political revolutions (1789 and 1848), industrialization, urbanization, population growth, secularization, the rise of new classes, and changes in ideologies and popular attitudes.
The Evolution of Modern Europe is a course designed to introduce you to important aspects of European social, cultural, political, economic and intellectual history during the past several centuries. The twelve lessons are meant to guide you chronologically through this span of history, providing you with both a narrative and an analytical exploration of modern Europe.
Threading its way through the lessons will be the overarching theme of "modernness." This may seem obvious given the title of the course, but we wonder how many of you paused to reflect on what it means to refer to Europe as modern. Certainly those of us living in "Western civilization" have been profoundly shaped by what's happened in Europe since its tremendous devastation at the hands of the Black Death some six centuries ago.
Three broad aims apply to a course like this. First, you should gain some general knowledge of the period, along with some appreciation of the complex forces that have moulded modern Europe. The assigned readings will introduce you to varying and at times diverging interpretations of specific historical developments and questions. You don't have to treat these readings as final authorities. Think about them, question them, constructively criticize them - you're free to agree or disagree with the perspectives of the authors, and with the unifying theme of the course for that matter. As in any survey course, all that can be provided here is a place to begin thinking about the subject matter. But it's hoped that by the time you complete the course, you'll have gained a sense of some of the major themes, theoretical questions, and conceptual debates that have occupied historians of Europe.
This raises the second aim of the course, which is to introduce you to a number of different kinds of historical problems. In your assignments and exam you'll have an opportunity to develop and demonstrate your skills as a historian, by identifying patterns which tie together and give meaning to masses of facts and by creating arguments about those patterns of meaning.
Finally, through your assignments and the feedback you receive on them, you should learn about historical method, the presentation of evidence, and the writing of historical papers. In short, it's hoped that this course will sharpen your ability to analyze past events, and will enable you to reconstruct the past imaginatively and critically. Good luck in your endeavours. I hope you find it a stimulating and worthwhile learning experience.

Brain Fever is what Sally Field's character gets on Soapdish, right?
"Puccini cries out for spirals, but really good ones." ~ Dick Button, 1998 Worlds
Sorry, I think you are correct. I remember reading about Mary having a stroke, but maybe that is how she died. I'd have to go back and look (my kids were huge LHOTP fans so we have done lots of reading.) I think I remember reading that she did have to have a operation later in life because of some sort of face pain - muscles or spasms or something. Clearly there were health issues. It is interesting that there was only one surviving child in the next generation, Rose, and she didn't have any children despite being married for a while. Carrie married later in life (well, late for the times) and I believe had two step children, but none of her own. Grace didn't have any children, but she apparently was diabetic so that isn't too surprising. With families generally being quite large, it does seem strange that there weren't more grandchildren.
A good rant is cathartic. Ranting is what keeps me sane. They always come from a different place. Take the prime minister, for example. Sometimes when I rant about him, I am angry; other times, I am just severely annoyed - it's an important distinction. - Rick Mercer
You're right - Mary died of a stroke (while visiting Carrie).

Colorado Gives Illegal Immigrants Unemployment Benefits
Sign Up for Updates
As a result the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment (CDLE) regularly makes unemployment insurance payments to illegal aliens and other citizens who don't qualify for the taxpayer-funded benefit. The story was made public after an investigative news organization obtained internal electronic mail showing that a high-ranking official ordered the agency to stop using a software control implemented to screen applicants' immigration status.
The CDLE's unemployment director (Mike Cullen) actually issued an official work order in early 2009 to shut the system down. The order, which was given "top priority," forced the agency's information technology department to reset the software so that it stopped questioning the immigration status of applicants.
Since the change was implemented, any residency or citizenship related questions routinely asked of those filing for unemployment benefits have been ignored by the computer system. The move violates a 2006 state law that mandates that certain government benefits—including unemployment insurance—be denied to illegal immigrants.
A few days after the story hit the internet, the head of the CDLE said that state lawmakers were actually notified earlier this year that the department shut down the immigration screening tool because it was causing a backlog. With a record number of unemployment claims, the screening tool was "holding everything up," according to the agency's director.
It appears that many at the agency knew they were violating state law. In fact, some CDLE employees questioned the legality of suspending the program in emails obtained by the reporter who broke the story. One flat out asked "is this legal?" Another admitted that not screening for immigration status would "disable" the state law that specifically requires it. Several lawmakers have demanded an investigation.
Readers Comments (1)
I would be interested in knowing where this story went from here. Does anybody know if the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment has enabled the software check which excluded illegal aliens from receiving unemployment benefits? I did some research online to find a list of the reasons why a person can be disqualified from receiving unemployment benefits. I found a couple of sources for lists of reasons why a person can be denied unemployment, which include "disqualifying factors", but I don't see anything that lists citizenship status as a reason. There is a list at CDLE's website at http://www.colorado.gov/cs/Satellite/CDLE-UnempBenefits/CDLE/1248095315223 but it is pretty spread out. A better summary is at http://deniedunemployment.com/reasons/ but I don't see anything at these sources about eligibility for illegal aliens and whether the State is currently is enforcing that requirement. Does anyone know?

Image Formats on the Web
Use these to jump around or read it all...
[Raster Image Formats] [Pixels and the Web]
[Meta/Vector Image Formats] [What's A Bitmap?]
[Compression] [The GIF Image Formats]
[JPEG Image Formats] [Reader's Image Questions]
I've been meaning to write this tutorial for a while. I offer it as a catch-all answer to the many questions I get about images and their use. Image. We'll use "image". That seems to cover a wide enough topic range. I went to my reference books and there I found that "graphic" is more of an adjective, as in "graphic format." You see, we denote images on the Internet by their graphic format. GIF is not the name of the image. GIF is the compression factors used to create the raster format set up by CompuServe. (More on that in a moment). So, they're all images unless you're talking about something specific. Before getting into where we get all 44, and there are more than that even, let me back-peddle for a moment. There actually are only two basic methods for a computer to render, or store and display, an image. When you save an image in a specific format you are creating either a raster or meta/vector graphic format. Here's the lowdown: If your pixel is denoted with only one bit-per-pixel then that pixel must be black or white. Why? Because that pixel can only be a one or a zero, on or off, black or white. Bump that up to 4 bits-per-pixel and you're able to set that colored dot to one of four colors. If you go even higher to 8 bits-per-pixel, you can save that colored dot at up to 256 different colors. Does that number, 256, sound familiar to anyone? That's the upper color level of a GIF image. Sure, you can go with less than 256 colors, but you cannot have over 256. That's why a GIF image doesn't work overly well for photographs and larger images. There are a whole lot more than 256 colors in the world. Images can carry millions. But if you want smaller icon images, GIFs are the way to go. Raster image formats can also save at 16, 24, and 32 bits-per-pixel. At the two highest levels, the pixels themselves can carry up to 16,777,216 different colors. The image looks great! Bitmaps saved at 24 bits-per-pixel are great quality images, but of course they also run about a megabyte per picture. There's always a trade-off, isn't there? The three main Internet formats, GIF, JPEG, and Bitmap, are all Raster formats. Some other Raster formats include the following: There is a delicate balance between the crispness of a picture and the number of pixels needed to display it. Let's say you have two images, each is 5 inches across and 3 inches down. One uses 300 pixels to span that five inches, the other uses 1500. Obviously, the one with 1500 uses smaller pixels. It is also the one that offers a more crisp, detailed look. The more pixels, the more detailed the image will be. Of course, the more pixels the more bytes the image will take up. So, how much is enough? That depends on whom you are speaking to, and right now you're speaking to me. I always go with 100 pixels per inch. That creates a ten thousand pixel square inch. I've found that allows for a pretty crisp image without going overboard on the bytes. It also allows some leeway to increase or decrease the size of the image and not mess it up too much. The lowest I'd go is 72 pixels per inch, the agreed upon low end of the image scale. In terms of pixels per square inch, it's a whale of a drop to 5184. Try that. See if you like it, but I think you'll find that lower definition monitors really play havoc with the image. Where the Meta/Vector formats have it over Raster is that they are more than a simple grid of colored dots. They're actual vectors of data stored in mathematical formats rather than bits of colored dots. This allows for a strange shaping of colors and images that can be perfectly cropped on an arc. A squared-off map of dots cannot produce that arc as well. In addition, since the information is encoded in vectors, Meta/Vector image formats can be blown up or down (a property known as "scalability") without looking jagged or crowded (a property known as "pixelating"). So that I do not receive e-mail from those in the computer image know, there is a difference in Meta and Vector formats. Vector formats can contain only vector data whereas Meta files, as is implied by the name, can contain multiple formats. This means there can be a lovely Bitmap plopped right in the middle of your Windows Meta file. You'll never know or see the difference but, there it is. I'm just trying to keep everybody happy. The images are large on purpose to show the effects of the format. If you're using an MSIE browser, you can view this first example. The image is St. Sophia in Istanbul. The picture is taken from the city's hippodrome. Against what I said above, Bitmaps will display on all browsers, just not in the familiar <IMG SRC="/ew_img/common/content/article/19980924/hg_imageformats/--"> format we're all used to. I see Bitmaps used mostly as return images from PERL Common Gateway Interfaces (CGIs). A counter is a perfect example. Page counters that have that "odometer" effect () are Bitmap images created by the server, rather than as an in-line image. Bitmaps are perfect for this process because they're a simple series of colored dots. There's nothing fancy to building them. It's actually a fairly simple process. In the script that runs the counter, you "build" each number for the counter to display. Note the counter is black and white. That's only a one bit-per-pixel level image. To create the number zero in the counter above, you would build a grid 7 pixels wide by 10 pixels high. The pixels you want to remain black, you would denote as zero. Those you wanted white, you'd denote as one. Here's what it looks like: See the number zero in the graph above? I made it red so it would stand out a bit more. You create one of those patterns for the numbers 0 through 9. The PERL script then returns the Bitmap image representing the numbers and you get that neat little odometer effect. That's the concept of a Bitmap. A grid of colored points. The more bits per pixel, the more fancy the Bitmap can be. Bitmaps are good images, but they're not great. If you've played with Bitmaps versus any other image formats, you might have noticed that the Bitmap format creates images that are a little heavy on the bytes. The reason is that the Bitmap format is not very efficient at storing data. What you see is pretty much what you get, one series of bits stacked on top of another. "Compression" is a computer term that represents a variety of mathematical formats used to compress an image's byte size. Let's say you have an image where the upper right-hand corner has four pixels all the same color. Why not find a way to make those four pixels into one? That would cut down the number of bytes by three-fourths, at least in the one corner. That's a compression factor. Bitmaps can be compressed to a point. The process is called "run-length encoding." Runs of pixels that are all the same color are all combined into one pixel. The longer the run of pixels, the more compression. Bitmaps with little detail or color variance will really compress. Those with a great deal of detail don't offer much in the way of compression. Bitmaps that use the run-length encoding can carry either the common ".bmp" extension or ".rle". Another difference between the two files is that the common Bitmap can accept 16 million different colors per pixel. Saving the same image in run-length encoding knocks the bits-per-pixel down to 8. That locks the level of color in at no more than 256. That's even more compression of bytes to boot. Here's the same image of St. Sophia in common Bitmap and the run-length encoding format. Can you see a difference? If case you're wondering, the image was saved in Windows version run-length encoding (there's also a CompuServe version) at 256 colors. It produced quite a drop in bytes, don't you think? And to be honest -- I really don't see a whole lot of difference. So, why not create a single pixel when all of the colors are close? You could even lower the number of colors available so that you would have a better chance of the pixels being close in color. Good idea. The people at CompuServe felt the same way. GIF, which stands for "Graphic Interchange Format," was first standardized in 1987 by CompuServe, although the patent for the algorithm (mathematical formula) used to create GIF compression actually belongs to Unisys. The first format of GIF used on the Web was called GIF87a, representing its year and version. It saved images at 8 pits-per-pixel, capping the color level at 256. That 8-bit level allowed the image to work across multiple server styles, including CompuServe, TCP/IP, and AOL. It was a graphic for all seasons, so to speak. CompuServe updated the GIF format in 1989 to include animation, transparency, and interlacing. They called the new format, you guessed it: GIF89a. There's no discernable difference between a basic (known as non-interlaced) GIF in 87 and 89 formats. See for yourself. The image is of me and another gentleman playing a Turkish Sitar.
Image or Graphic?
Technically, neither. If you really want to be strict, computer pictures are files, the same way WORD documents or solitaire games are files. They're all a bunch of ones and zeros all in a row. But we do have to communicate with one another so let's decide.44 Different Graphic Formats?
It does seem like a big number, doesn't it? In reality, there are not 44 different graphic format names. Many of the 44 are different versions under the same compression umbrella, interlaced and non-interlaced GIF, for example.Raster
Raster image formats (RIFs) should be the most familiar to Internet users. A Raster format breaks the image into a series of colored dots called pixels. The number of ones and zeros (bits) used to create each pixel denotes the depth of color you can put into your images.

(Used to lower image bit rates) TIFF Aldus Corporation format WPG WordPerfect image format Pixels and the Web
Since I brought up pixels, I thought now might be a pretty good time to talk about pixels and the Web. How much is too much? How many is too few?Meta/Vector Image Formats
You may not have heard of this type of image formatting, not that you had heard of Raster, either. This formatting falls into a lot of proprietary formats, formats made for specific programs. CorelDraw (CDR), Hewlett-Packard Graphics Language (HGL), and Windows Metafiles (EMF) are a few examples.
The following sections offer examples of the image formats discussed here. The images are all from my wife's and my trip to Turkey in the summer of 1998. It was a wonderful time in a wonderful country. What's A Bitmap?
I get that question a lot. Usually it's followed with "How come it only works on Microsoft Internet Explorer?" The second question's the easiest. Microsoft invented the Bitmap format. It would only make sense they would include it in their browser. Every time you boot up your PC, the majority of the images used in the process and on the desktop are Bitmaps.
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Compression
I said above that a Bitmap was a simple series of pixels all stacked up. But the same image saved in GIF or JPEG format uses less bytes to make up the file. How? Compression.
The GIF Image Formats
So, why wasn't the Bitmap chosen as the King of all Internet Images? Because Bill Gates hadn't yet gotten into the fold when the earliest browsers started running in-line images. I don't mean to be flippant either, I truly believe that.

Some people have written to me in the past few days interested in starting a DIYcity group in their own city. This is great - it's exactly what we had in mind with the site. Lots of the issues we will be taking on here are the sort where the particulars are different in each city or town, so it makes sense to have special groups for each of those places. And having a local group allows for meetups to happen as well, and that's going to be one of the most interesting parts of DIYcity.
So, if you want to start a DIYcity group for your own city or town, it's very easy and here's how you do it.
First, if you haven't yet, join the site.
We're hoping to have our first meetup for DIY New York City in the next couple of weeks.
If anyone has a meeting space to volunteer, get in touch.
Also, feel free to propose topics to focus on in the first meeting. We have some idea of the direction we think things should take, given who it seems will be in attendance, but anyone who wants to propose ideas of their own should do so.
More soon.
DIYcity Challenge #1: build a Twitter bot that helps users avoid traffic and get where they're going faster.
Details: There's an interesting app called the Shakeshack Twitter bot. Created and used by a group of people in Manhattan who love eating at Shake Shack, it's a bot that allows anyone to broadcast to others in the group info about how long the line is at Shake Shack at any time. And the line is usually really long, so it's pretty useful to have that info ahead of time. Knowing beforehand what the line is like can mean the difference between waiting a half an hour to get lunch and waiting five minutes.
How it works:
1. You request to follow twitter.com/shakeshack.
2. Whenever you go by shakeshack, you send a note to @shakeshack describing how long the line is. It's short, it's long, it's to the first tree, second tree, 10 min, 20 min, etc.
3. That tweet gets redistributed to everyone subscribed to @shakeshack, and those people can then make an informed decision: go grab a burger because the line is short, or skip it because the line is long.
The result: people get their burgers and shakes with only a fraction of the time spent waiting in line that they would normally spend. Time is saved, energy is saved, everyone is happy.
How could you extend this idea to work for other situations where people want to avoid traffic?

Update 2/5/09: The ideas collected from the discussion on DIYcity Challenge #1 have gone into producing the First DIYcity Project which is currently in production, with a spec published in the wiki.
Welcome to the Main Group at DIYcity - this is sort of DIYcity central. Use this group as a place to post general announcements, questions, ideas, etc. to everyone on the site.
More to come...
Q. How can we use emerging social networking tools combined with mobile devices to create or augment city infrastructure? How can user input, generated on the fly, enhance city effectiveness? Is it possible to develop ad-hoc group infrastructure, without central organization? Where are the places this would be most effective?
Mobile Social Infrastructure is a topic group for exploring these and other related questions.

Officials in Kuala Lumpur today declared the vanishing of Malaysian Airlines flight MH370 on a flight to Beijing an "unprecedented aviation mystery". Hopes were dashed again after helicopters and search vessels scrambled in vain to investigate a floating object that looked from some angles like an upturned liferaft as the search for jetliner continued without result. Vietnamese authorities said they had recovered the item and found that it was not a liferaft, adding to the lengthening list of false dawns that have defined the past 48 hours. "The object has been identified as a moss-covered cap of a cable reel," the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam said. The latest disappointment sent another wave of gloom through the dozens of families in Beijing waiting in anger and grief for any hint of what might have happened in the final moments before the Boeing 777 flight disappeared from radar screens. Reflecting the growing anger of the families of the 153 Chinese among the total of 239 passengers and crew on the flight from Kuala Lumpur, the Chinese Government yesterday showed public signs of frustration with the search efforts. "The Malaysian side attaches importance to the incident with a sincere attitude, but in light of the situation, the Malaysian side needs to step up their efforts," a Foreign Ministry spokesman, Qin Gang, told a press conference in Beijing. The yellow object sighted today is the latest in a ser
Ukip MEPs are encouraged to pay a "tithe" to the party's headquarters of £10,000 a year and have been told they can afford this because as well as their salary they receive "generous expenses" from the European Parliament "some of which does not require receipts". The revelation will raise further questions about the use of taxpayers' money by Nigel Farage, who is already facing an investigation by the European Parliament over the alleged misuse of funds to pay for staff at his party's headquarters in London. The Times has seen a copy of the code of conduct that Ukip MEPs are required to sign, promising to give "substantial financial support" to the party's central coffers out of income. This "should mean a minimum of £10,000 per annum", according to an e-mail sent to the party's MEPs by Alan Bown, a long-standing Ukip donor and member of the party's National Executive Committee. Alt
Labour is planning a new pension raid as it sets out today how it intends to pay for a new compulsory jobs guarantee for young people out of work for a year. Ed Balls, the Shadow Chancellor, and Rachel Reeves, the Shadow Work and Pensions Secretary, will reveal Labour has switched some of its spending priorities to fund the scheme. Participants will be required to undergo training provided by an employer as well as search intensively for a job in order to get a permanent opportunity at the end of six months. Those job seekers who refuse to take up the offer of a job would risk losing their benefits. Based on current claimant count levels, the House of Commons Library estimates the policy would cost £1.9 billion in the first year and £900 million a year from then on. The first year will be funded by a repeat of the bank bonus tax, from which Labour expects to raise between £1.5 billion

Antarctica Cruises
Discover it with the best ice team on Earth
Remote. Untrammeled. Spectacular. Antarctica is as far from the familiar as you can get without vertical liftoff, and one of the most exhilarating adventures on Earth. There are many reasons to go to Antarctica. Penguins, for example, tuxedoed and gleaming. Ice is another: an entire museum of colossal and magical ice forms defying description. And so is the dashing history of the Heroic Age of Exploration. Just contemplating Antarctica makes you feel somehow finer, braver. Actually going there makes you the hero in your own life.

Dr. Joel Brenner, former National Counterintelligence Executive and Inspector General of the National Security Agency, will discuss his appraisal of the new faces of war and espionage - virtual battles with dangerous implications for government, business, and all of us. In his view, the structure and culture of the Internet favor spies over governments and corporations, and hackers over privacy, and we've done little to alter that balance. Dr. Brenner will draw on his extraordinary background to offer ways to right this imbalance and bring to cyberspace the freedom, accountability, and security we expect elsewhere in our lives. |

custy reviews
for the Granite Gear eVent Uberlight CTF3 DrySack
Average Custy Rating:
(based on 4 reviews)
Viewing All
I'm generally a fan of Granite Gear; I use their packs exclusively and have had good experiences with the regular non-eVent version of these bags. The eVent style, however, has failed me twice in quick succession; using an 8L bag to hold my Marmot Plasma 30, the bottom eVent panel first frayed then blew out; the replacement Granite Gear sent did the same thing. I like the idea of a breathable bag, but by simply kneeling on a drybag to squeeze the air out, you can accomplish the same result with less chance of structural failure. I'd stick with the regular CTF3 drysacks for safety.
The transparent fabric is wonderful for seeing where stuff is inside. They are light - unbelievable fabric. I haven't gotten really drenched in rain while packs in one of these yet so they haven't met the acid test. On the good side, they've survived several weekend trips without a tear/rip/puncture. Still not trusting them yet - almost too good to be true. Will keep using them and hoping for a frog-drowning rain weekend so I can write a better review.
I've also used the previous Uberlight (w/o eVent) which is also a very fine sack, but this definitely takes things up a notch. Much easier to compress a sleeping bag (with your knee for example) while rolling down the top. Seems just as tough as its predecessor. Great 'insurance' for a $400 sleeping bag in my pack. Haven't tested its waterproof limits - only splashed it with a hose to ensure it could handle an "I'm an idiot" moment with a water bottle or around camp. Expensive, but a great piece of kit if you can afford it.

He then broadcast it for a room crammed with reporters, photographers and television cameras.The assembled media found the display hilarious and at several points laughed out loud.
Asked if he wasn't being hypocritical by showing the ad to a roomful of cameras that are likely to record it and show it — for free — around the country, Mr. Huckabee said he was showing it to reporters only because reporters were so cynical that if he didn't show it, they would not believe that he really had made such an ad.
Wingnuts hate him for two reasons: (1) He appears to care about poor people; (2) He really is religious.
There is a reason an ignorant fool like Huckabee is, depending on the poll, leading among GOP hopefuls in Iowa.

Ryan Lochte's unexpected grill flash during his Olympic medal ceremony was courtesy of none other than the grill-master himself ... rapper Paul Wall.
If you recall ... Lochte flashed a ruby and diamond studded American flag grill when he accepted his medal for the men's 400-meter IM event on Saturday ... but the genius behind the bling was "The Peoples Champ" himself.
Wall told XXLmag.com he was psyched to create the mouth piece, saying "Everyone's talking about it ... it's just an incredible thing to be part of. There's not too many world-class swimmers wearing our grill."
The grill was hand crafted by Wall who boasted to the mag, "Every diamond is set by hand ... one by one, prong set and all custom red rubies."
Wall wouldn't specify how much he charged Lochte for the grill ... but says it's worth between $15k and $25k. Wall added "Of course we gave him an Olympic discount."
Worth every penny.
Shouldn't he be worried about not failing instead of his teef? Never saw Phelps with a grill.
I'm a Canadian and the one thing that I notice....the American Flag is upside down! That's what everyone is talking about...it wasn't a well thought out execution of the design. Then again...I think grills look stupid anyway, but the flag is upside down!
To each his own. Like it or not hip hop culture is spreading. I think it's cool for him to have them for the occasion. I doubt he wears them all the time. Paul Wall has become ultra successful doing this.
That's just stupid...Bet his coach gave him sh*t! Though he grew up in a nice neighborhood, not a trailer park!!!
Maybe he should have been more focused on swimming instead of that ridiculous grill. Dude cost us a gold medal and didn't medal at all in another event.

Tis the season for all things New Orleans! I mean the Mardi Gras season, that is! If you needed any excuse to make festive colored cakes (King Cake) throw plastic beads, or make fried dough (Beignets), this is it!
This quintessential New Orleans treat, the Beignet:(pronounced: ben-yay), is a crispy-on-the-outside, feather-light, heavenly doughnut, flash fried and smothered in confectioner's sugar … and totally full of gluten. They are unique to New Orleans, so I haven't been lucky enough to have one since my parents' trip to Bourbon Street in the '80s, when they brought back boxes of famous Café du Monde Beignet Mix. For years, the thought of ever enjoying such a soft, airy, gluten-free puffed doughnut seemed like an unachievable dream to me.
Now, sharing my gluten-free version with a host of friends and family (and one Louisiana native), I am happy to pronounce my gluten-free recipe a resounding success! Whether you have had and now miss Beignets since going gluten-free, or are just curious to try these little puffs of New Orleans deliciousness, give this recipe a try, whether it's Mardi Gras or not!
I took these treasures onto DC's Fox News recently and they were (not surprisingly), a huge hit!
(P.S. Even though New Orleans didn't win the big game this year, if you have friended Drew Brees on FB (or otherwise), be sure to send him this recipe too – the 2010 Saints' Superbowl MVP is gluten-free!)
New Orleans Beignets
- 1 cup warm water (110° F)
- 1/4 cup granulated cane sugar
- 1 package rapid rise yeast
- 1 large egg (or 1 Tbs. vegetable oil + 2 Tbs. water + 2 tsp. baking powder)
- 1/2 cup evaporated milk (dairy or see directions below for non-dairy)
- 3 3/4 cup Jules Gluten Free™ All-Purpose Flour
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 2 Tbs. shortening (e.g. Earth Balance® Shortening Sticks)
- vegetable oil for frying
- confectioner's sugar to dust Beignets
Combine the warm water, sugar and yeast; stir and set aside to activate the yeast. Allow mixture to sit until it becomes frothy, at least 5 minutes. Meanwhile, beat together the egg and milk. Add 1 cup of the Jules Gluten Free™ All Purpose Flour and the salt. Beat until integrated. Cut the shortening into small chunks and mix in with the 1 cup flour, egg and milk. Slowly beat in remaining flour and the proofed yeast mixture until completely mixed. The dough should not be stiff or sticky at this point.
Turn the dough out onto a clean surface or pastry mat dusted with Jules Gluten Free™ All Purpose Flour. Roll gently into a 1/2-inch thick rectangle. Using a large, sharp knife, cut strips of dough 2 inches wide, on a diagonal (not straight up and down, leaving a diagonal edge to the strips). Cut across these strips in the same way, creating diamond-shaped Beignets. Leave any scraps of dough to test the temperature of the oil – do not knead together and cut again. Place cut Beignets onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and cover loosely with a damp towel. Allow to rise in a warming drawer or an oven brought to 200° F, then turned off. The Beignets will roughly double in size after rising for 50 – 90 minutes (I've left them covered overnight to rise as well, and they turned out great!)
After the Beignets have risen, pour vegetable oil (high heat, preferably) into a large saucepan to a depth of 2-3 inches. Heat the oil on medium-high to 310° – 360° F. Test the temperature of the oil by using any risen scraps of dough remaining. Gently submerge a piece of dough in oil – if it rises to the top of the oil immediately and begins to bubble, the oil is hot enough; if it does not rise to the top of the oil, it is not hot enough. If the dough turns dark brown within 30 seconds of being submerged, the oil is too hot.
Once the oil is to temperature, gently submerge 2 – 3 Beignets in hot oil and cook until lightly browned and puffed on each side – approximately 1- 2 minutes only. Remove with a skimmer or slotted spoon to drain on paper towels, and sprinkle confectioner's sugar liberally over top of each Beignet. Serve warm.
Yield: approximately 15 Beignets.
Directions for Non-Dairy Evaporated Milk:
Measure 1 cup non-dairy milk of choice and pour into a small saucepan. Over low-medium heat, stir milk occasionally to prevent a skin from forming or the milk from sticking to the pan. Heat until the milk is reduced by half to measure 1/2 cup of liquid (allow approximately 30 minutes for this process). Once reduced, remove from heat and allow to cool slightly before adding to dough per recipe.

Great recipe – made my own non-dairy evaporated milk using unsweetened coconut milk. crowd couldn't tell this was a gf/df dish. very good.
Jules said: on February 21, 2011
Fantastic! So glad you got to try it Brad!
Harriet Schipper said: on March 8, 2011
Whenever in New Orleans, everyone has to go and get Beignets. I always wondered what they tasted like, now I will be able to find out:)

Denise Wilhelm said: on March 11, 2011
Have you tried these using flax seed/water or EnerG egg replacer instead of eggs? They sound amazing, and I'd love to make some, but I'm allergic to eggs.
Jules said: on March 11, 2011
Hi Denise – I haven't tried it yet, but there is only 1 egg in the recipe, so it's the perfect kind of recipe for subbing with flaxseed meal and water. If you get a chance to try it before I do, let us know how it works!
Ruby G said: on April 11, 2011
Are they good cold? I was thinking about making this for a school project but I would not be able to serve them warm.
Jules said: on April 11, 2011
Ruby, depending on how fresh they are, they may be ok cold, but they're much better hot and fresh.
jen said: on October 15, 2011
Cant stand the taste of evaporated milk, so can I use regular milk and if so, do I reduce it down as in the non-dairy version?? Many thanks
Jules said: on October 18, 2011
Hi Jen, sory I missed this when you posted it Saturday! Yes, you can make your own dairy evaporated milk the same way as my non-dairy evaporated milk recipe. Enjoy!
Damien Silveira said: on November 16, 2011
If I make them in the morning and then let them rise before I go to the office at 9:00am, do you think they will be ok to have sitting around until I am ready to fry them at 1:00pm?
Jules said: on November 16, 2011
Damien, if you let them rise covered in a warm, humid place, that should be fine. My only concern would be if they dried out, so make sure it's nice and humid where they are left to rise, and that they are covered. Let me know how it goes!
Damien Silveira said: on November 19, 2011
The Beignets were a hit. I ended up leaving them covered with damp towels in the oven until about 30 minutes before the Potluck started, fried them at the office and they were all gone before the line was done….. One person even said I don't need to put what I am bring on future potluck signup lists because he already knows what he wants me to bring.
Thanks you!
Damien Silveira said: on November 19, 2011
Thank you not thanks you.
Jules said: on November 20, 2011
Damien, you are doubly welcome!
sarah Thorsteinson said: on January 23, 2012
Dying to make these for Mardi Gras. Thanks for sharing your recipe! Any adjustments needed for super high altitude? 10,000 ft+ ?
Jules said: on January 23, 2012
Sarah, I haven't tried this recipe at high altitude, but I've never had trouble with any of my breads at 7800 ft. Let me know how it goes!
Susan Swearingen said: on February 16, 2012
I love your flour, recipes, and book. I am so glad my daughter-in-law brought me your book when I was first diagnosed. I don't know what I would do without your help.
Keep those recipes coming, and I'll keep buying your flour.
Thank you, Susan Swearingen
Jules said: on February 17, 2012
Ah Susan, thank you! It's funny how everything seems to happen for a reason! You clearly have a thoughtful (and insightful!) daughter-in-law! So happy she introduced us and that I have been of help to you!!! Thank her for me!
Alta said: on February 17, 2012
Wow, these look good. Would you mind if I included them on a Mardi Gras roundup I have on my blog today?
Jules said: on February 17, 2012
Hi Alta – share away!
Ali Niehaus said: on May 11, 2012
I don't know if this would work in this particular recipe but when I make pumpkin pies, I use soft silken tofu for the dairy portion. I put it in the Cuisinart to mix and smooth, then add to pumpkin portion. Truly, it makes a great pie. That's the only thing I do differently from the old recipe on the pumpkin can.
Chelsea F. said: on June 17, 2012
Do you think these could be baked rather than fried? I'm having a tough time adapting a non gluten free recipe with your flour.
Jules said: on June 21, 2012
Hi Chelsea, Beignets are made to be fried, unfortunately. But for sure let us know if you try a different way and have success! If your oil is the right temp, the Beignets shouldn't absorb too much oil. Enjoy!
Amanda said: on December 19, 2012
I'm so excited to find this recipe! I love beignets
Jules said: on December 19, 2012
Have fun with them!!
Tracey said: on December 29, 2012
Can I use Active Dry Yeast instead? I don't have any rapid rise yeast in the house? Thanks!
Jules said: on December 29, 2012
Hi Tracey, yes you can, but let them rise much longer with the regular active yeast. Enjoy the recipe!
Maureen O'Neal said: on February 8, 2013
wow, thank you SO MUCH, not only for the Beignets recipe(which I never thought I'd see gluten-free!), but also the evaporated milk!! And MULTO GRACIAS for the PEANUT BUTTER AND KIND BARS!! Thanks so much!
Beth R. said: on February 10, 2013
I made these today, and they looked the same as yours, but were a lot more dense than I was expecting. I suspect it's because I used my hand mixer instead of my Kitchen Aid, and the ol' girl just wasn't up to the job! I've never had an actual beignet, so I don't have a basis for comparison. Next time I'm going to use the stand mixer and see if they're any lighter. Yummy, nonetheless!
Jules said: on February 10, 2013
Glad they were still yummy, but your hunch might be correct about the mixer. They should be very light, in addition to tasting delicious!
gloria schimmel said: on February 28, 2013
so what does jules gluten free flour contain and what is earth balance shortening- I live in central Ontario and these products are not available here-please stop specifying products as too many of us live in the wilderness and do not have access to many product lines- thank you g
Jules said: on March 1, 2013
Hi Gloria – I'm sorry that you don't have these products available in Ontario. My flour is a blend of a special tapioca starch, whole grain corn flour, corn starch, potato starch, fine white rice flour and xanthan gum. Earth Balance shortening is vegan and made from a non-hydrogenated blend of oils with no transfats.
Sue said: on July 12, 2013
These were fantastic! Thank you so much for the recipe!
Jules Shepard said: on July 13, 2013
Wonderful to hear, Sue!
Nan said: on November 12, 2013
Hi. I was just wondering if yeast has gluten in it. I've gotten many mixed answers.
Jules Shepard said: on November 13, 2013
Hi Nan, hopefully this article will clear things up for you! http://blog.julesglutenfree.com/2011/04/yeast-answering-the-questions-that-also-arise/
Roger said: on March 2, 2014
Would two tablespoons vegetable oil instead of the shortening work?
Jules Shepard said: on March 2, 2014
You could certainly try it, Roger, but the oil might make the dough heavier and more dense. Let me know if you give it a shot!

What's up, Broncos Country?
This is Ryan Torain, checking in for the first time. This season I'm going to be writing a rookie blog, just letting you all know how my first year in the NFL is going. So far it's been going great, by the way.
Wow, so I'm here in Denver. I never thought I would come here — I didn't really know every single team looking at me just because there is so much going on around that time with the NFL Combine and everything, but once I saw it come up on the screen I was like, wow, that's a running team. I was definitely ready to get here and start showing I have what it takes to run in the Denver Broncos system, so I've been blessed. I actually lived here in Denver for a few months when I was in about 3rd grade, so I'm just getting used to it all over again. It's good to see the mountains again.
Well, I've been in camp for a week now, and it's pretty much what I expected. I've been through camps every year of college, so this is just another level. I won't lie, though, it's definitely greater speed and greater talent, but it's a real good, positive thing, just having fun doing what I love — football.
For the first couple days, I felt like I was going cross-eyed because everything was going by so fast and I was just trying to read everything, but now I feel like I'm adjusting to the speed. Things are slowed down and I feel a lot more comfortable with myself as we're running the plays.
The best part of camp so far has definitely got to be the afternoon practices. It's either a quick one for special teams or a jog-through where we go over all our plays. It leaves us with one big practice in the morning where we really go hard and make sure we leave it all out there on the field. That's huge. And the veterans are constantly reminding us rookies to be thankful for this because everywhere else it's a lot harder. So most definitely this is huge and Coach Shanahan is taking care of us. It keeps us healthy and it's just creating opportunities for us in the future, when we have our legs up under us during games and other teams are wearing down.
Speaking of veterans, I'm definitely enjoying myself with the group of running backs we have here. We all look out for each other and we all try to help each other because we look at it as a family, you know what I'm saying? We just want all of us be successful, because we need each other. But that doesn't mean the vets don't remind me I'm a rookie. There's a couple of days where I've had to carry some helmets and shoulder pads, but I'm just trying to help out the older guys. Because when I'm older, best believe somebody's going to be carrying my helmet. Alright? I paid my duty!
They've got me staying in the rookie hotel, too. That's not so bad because it's right up the road so between practices and when meetings are over I can just go grab a quick nap. And they provide everything for us. You've got Gatorade, you've got TV, you've got your bed and your playbook, that's all you need. And it's not like we're out in the hall joking around too much, maybe we hang out for about 5 or 10 minutes, but then we're hitting that bed. It's exhausting out here. Most definitely we're getting our rest.
I hear all these people talking about how hot it is right now, something about a record number of days above 90 degrees. Man, it feels breezy. This ain't nothing. You have to remember I grew up in Kansas and went to school in Arizona. You don't know hot until you're in Arizona in the middle of July. This is great weather out here, you've just got to enjoy it and take advantage of it.
That's what I'm doing, and time is really flying. From draft day until right now it feels like it's been just a couple hours. Things are really rolling right now, and it's clicking pretty well. I'm excited for it. I'm definitely ready for this first preseason game to get out there against another NFL team. It's a dream come true, you've just got to keep setting goals for yourself and reaching them.
My goal personally is to help the team and make big plays. Training camp is going great, I feel positive about everything, I'm staying with the running back coach just getting the information and plays, just meeting with him a little extra, just staying on top of things. It makes me feel better as a running back to know that the coaches have confidence in me, and I've always had confidence in myself, but now the coaches are seeing my work ethic and what I'm trying to provide for the team, and they're giving me and opportunity and I appreciate it. I'm just ready to go out and take it and make sure I do everything I can.
Alright, that's all for this one. I'll talk to you all next week, don't forget to come out to training camp and keep watching me this season. I expect to do big things.

ESPN scout breaks down how Arizona Cardinals schemes will change
Otherwise, what is the point of making the move in the first place?
But how different will the Arizona Cardinals be with Bruce Arians and his staff now running the show in place of Ken Whisenhunt and Co.?
According to Gary Horton, in an ESPN Insider piece, the offense will be creative and aggressive in the passing game.
This is not going to be a dink-and-dunk West Coast offense, as Arians is a coach who loves the deep ball. We will see a lot of deep crossing and seam routes, as the Cardinals look for those "chunk" plays.
Horton notes this will require the offensive line to hold up better, which after how things went last season, seems like a pretty tall order. However, if given time to throw, he believes QB Carson Palmer will utilize the tight end more and Larry Fitzgerald more effectively.
Sight adjustment will be a part of this passing game -- if the players can handle it -- and this will be a very smart and aggressive offense. One other wrinkle to keep an eye on is CB Patrick Peterson lining up in some Wildcat/read-option packages to give defenses something else to prepare for.
But alas, few have any qualms with the Cardinals re-working their offense. After ranking last in the NFL in total yards as well as second-to-last in points scored, change of any kind is likely to bring better results.
However, the team's defense was pretty strong, finishing the season 12th in yards allowed, fourth in takeaways and 11th in sacks.
So what should we expect from new defensive coordinator Todd Bowles?
It will remain as a 3-4 scheme, but Bowles will add some wrinkles of his own. Under Horton the guys up front played a lot of two-gap, read-and-react schemes where they occupied blockers to let the back seven make most of the plays. Bowles will utilize a lot more one-gap, penetrating looks up front and he needs the defensive line to be disruptive.
That premise is part of the reason defensive lineman Darnell Dockett has expressed happiness over the new scheme, and it could allow the team's defensive front to be even more disruptive. It may have to be because, as Horton notes, Arizona does not boast a bevvy of sack artists at the linebacker spots.
In this 3-4 scheme, you expect your sack production from the OLBs and not the ILBs, D-line and safeties -- which was where the Cards got their sacks a year ago. They need a double-digit sack guy to emerge.
In all, Horton believes an improved Arizona offense would go a long way toward helping the defense take a step forward.

Evaluation Report: Analyses UNFPA supported projects and programmes and provides policy and programme recommendations.
For hard copies of any document, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
Evaluation Report Number 21
In 2005, UNFPA conducted its first-ever evaluation quality assessment (EQA). The assessment examined quality in 60 UNFPA evaluations making use of recognized international best practice criteria. The assessment also included 6 in-depth best practice case studies from different regions of the world. The assessment has revealed some important strengths as well as certain weaknesses in the Fund's evaluation work. The findings and recommendations from the evaluation are now being used among other things to strengthen the quality of evaluation practice and its link to programming within UNFPA. The publication includes a full management response to the report's main findings and recommendations.
FULL REPORT AND COVER AVAILABLE HERE: http://www.unfpa.org/publications/detail.cfm?ID=340&filterListType
An Assessment of Gender Integration in UNFPA Materials Produced Between 1997 and Early 2005
This report presents the findings of the evaluative inquiry carried out by the Division of Oversight Services in 2005 with the objectives to assess the quality, packaging and design of gender-related messages being communicated to UNFPA staff as well as the utility and utilization of these materials. The assessment was conducted using the 'appreciative inquiry approach', which seeks to identify what works well and what leads to good practices. The report presents good practices of communication of gender concepts and their mainstreaming into all UNFPA materials; reveals challenges and promotes a common understanding of what should be done at the organizational level to institutionalize strengths and achievements in current practice.

- Description
- Southeastern Chester County Refuse Authority (SECCRA), a municipal authority formed in 1968, provides a regional waste management solution for municipal solid waste planning in southern Chester County. SECCRA's current landfill is located in London Grove Township on PA Route 926, between Routes 841 and 41. The SECCRA Community Landfill is relatively small by today's standards, accepting about 450 tons per day of trash from local municipalities. The landfill does not accept waste from outside its service area, nor from out of state. In the past, smaller landfills were overlooked for their potential for electricity generation due to the proportionately larger capital costs and relatively smaller gas generation potential. Currently, SECCRA POWER is in full operation, and is producing almost a megawatt of power from the LFG generated at the SECCRA Community Landfill. Since the project began, recorded methane gas flow rates are in excess of the current capacity for which one engine/generator set is rated. The development of Phase II and the addition of a second engine/generator set will occur in 2008 to convert the maximum amount of methane gas to produce the maximum amount of "green electricity" possible. The project is financially sustainable, and has surpassed expectations.

There's a special feeling of welcome all along the Sunrise Trail. It's a part of everything, from the warmth of the gentle surf that caresses broad sand beaches to the friendly people you'll meet everywhere you go.
There's a special beauty along the Sunrise Trail, too. Gently rolling farmlands create a quilt of emerald green fields that meets the sparkling blue waters of the Northumberland Strait. Country roads wind along sandy shores with their bright red bluffs and tidal saltmarshes that are vibrant with life. Timeless towns and villages, where generations have harvested the bounty of land and sea, now wait to be explored. Gracious accommodations offer a home away from home. There are fine restaurants, colourful shops and art galleries, as well as museums, summer theatre, and a fine arts centre.
Good food and festivals are our specialty.
