Chronicles of the Angels
A detailed journey through Edward's prevamp life to life after Bella. It begins in 1901, it does alter the twilight plot slightly in some areas, yet the major jist is still the same. The life of a musical prodigy who died young, yet lived old, he ventured through some of the most horrific scenes in the world, surviving the mental brutality of two large scale wars while struggling against of his own nature. When finally, he found a peace of mind within a coven he called family, the largest turbulence in his life appeared in the form of a young girl...who seemed a little too familiar. After all the pain and torture, he came to realise the madness of love and the meaning of life. This is really a romance, even though a angsty and violent one, it will get dark during the war and Edward's internal struggles. Thus it is rated R for lemon, adult theme, angst, violence and language, don't read it if you have a faint heart lol. This is not as 'safe' as the twilight series has been.
Author's notes Well technically I'm the author (wannabe) of my own secret fantasy land of Twilight which lacks accuracy and attention to detail for the novel, all due to my declining memory and semi-alertness while reading it. So first of all I need to declare that I have NOT finished reading Eclipse, not to mention starting on Breaking Dawn. I'm not in a rush honestly, cause it ain't going anywhere. I want to savor every stage of the Twilight infatuation. I love the characterizations of the book, it's typical, yet classical, and it ventured much deeper than 99% of the teen fictions. I suppose it reflected the majority women/girl's idea of a perfect romance, old fashioned, passionate yet virtuous. IF EDWARD IS A METAPHOR, HE WOULD BE THE 'PERFECT'. I'm in no way creating any major new characters, or altering the main characters tremendously in any way. If I had the talent to do so, I wouldn't be here (I am not suggesting that FF.net doesn't have talented writers, there certainly are, just not me) lol. So basically I'm sticking to how the actual plot goes, however expanding it to Edward's human life, and proceeding into life after Bella. Parts of the story may turn out to be significantly different to the novel, that's because first of all it's my perspective, preference and choice, and secondly, due to my stupid declining memory. I did not read twilight word by word, nor did I memorize it like a bible (I know I should feel ashamed of myself) so I apologize here for any mistake I shall make during this journey. Thank you Anastasia

Prologue – Edward's declaration
I was born on a humid summer day in Chicago in 1901, June 20th to be exact, at the dawn of the twentieth century. Of course, my memory did not capture the ambiance during my birth. However I was told by my mother that it was the most joyous day of her life. She had named me Edward after my father and also hoping that I would have happiness and strength throughout my life.
I was a fairly ambitious child, like the majority of the boys at the time, raised to glorify the manly aspects of life, and a sense of patriotism I had still lingered for our mother England. America had just begun rising as a superpower, and president McKinley had spent his final year conducting the war in the Philippines. Growing up during this time meant change, a lot of rapid change. Technology had just peek its head, electric buses raced into the cities, Ford had created the Model A by my second birthday, and by the next year the flying machine or airplane as modern people would call it came along.
Life was quiet and unremarkable though, born into a moderately wealthy middle classed family, my father Edward Masen was a reputable barrister, my mother Elizabeth, the lovely pure hearted housewife. Mother was the closest being to an angel in my life, with her soft emerald eyes and bronze hair, she always placed father and me first, and that predetermined her sacrificial actions during the fateful event later on.
I have no regrets though, in this life I had not chosen, I was blessed though both cursed by the higher power that I never once denied. I had struggled through so much, sometimes aimlessly and hopelessly, yet now I understand where it was leading me, where it all ends and where it all begins.
The Prodigy, From 1905 to 1909
"Ed, take a look at your son, isn't he amazing?" Elizabeth indulged contentedly as she watched her little bronze haired son tapping away at the keys on the white baby grand pianoforte, his tiny legs dangling rhythmically to the sound of the lullaby that he played.
"I say we get one of these, they are apparently very fashionable these days as a decoration any way." Elizabeth suggested softly.
Edward frowned, he was always the seriously one, having all of the pressure on you does that to a person.
"Well, it won't help him to become independent or make a living, but it serves as a positive distraction from any bad habits." He stated as matter of fact, having seen all too many catastrophe happening to misled offspring from other middle classed families.
To young Edward's delight, his parents paid the shopkeeper the piano's worth and that day marked the beginning of little Edward's world of music.
At the time, the pianoforte truly was a popular household decoration for the rich, and mostly it remained just that, a decoration and status of wealth. However, little Edward was not ready to simply dust its polished pearl surfaces. It was an amazing feeling grazing your finger along the black and white keys, reading a secret language of notes between the sheets and most importantly creating a land of dreams. Edward was labeled a child prodigy after only two years of tuition, Chicago's own Mozart as the locals and families would call him.
At the age of 6, he shocked a priest while reciting a complicated organ piece that the priest had written two nights before simply upon listening. His father had not approved once he realized his son's exceptional gift. After all, musicians mostly remained poor until posthumously.
Yet, to young Edward, music was all he needed; he didn't have a care in the world, as long as he was allowed on his piano 30 minutes a day. Elizabeth was immensely proud needless to say; as she watched her 8 year old perform 'Chanson Triste' by Pyotr Tchaikovsky at the local festival. Young Edward had recently decided to begin composing his own pieces. He had jokingly called them 'pathetique attempts' which Elizabeth whole heartedly protested. She was quite sure that her opinion was not biased, as most people who heard Edward play the pieces appeared intrigued and emotional.
"Edward, you don't give yourself enough credit, don't be swayed by your father, he simply dislikes this choice as a career path."
"Mother, I believe I am actually rather vain about my abilities, yet besides the pianoforte, I do not have any other skills." Edward stated, a furrow forming between his brows that resembled his father's. "For example, Janet can sew corsets and Margaret is immaculate with flower arrangements." He quoted his two cousins, "Their skills are so much more practical than mine." Edward pouted gently; tucking his lower lips out and blew into his buns.
Elizabeth chuckled at the obscurity of Edward's concerns, "Well son, I assure you that you will not need those skills in life as long as you retain a wife." Upon this, Edward displayed what appears to be a shocked expression.
"Good god mother, what an unthinkable suggestion, acquiring a wife would mean to spend most of your life with a girl according to our teacher, and that would be the death of me…girls are…so annoying!" Finally Edward was able to form his detestation into words. Truthfully he was unable to determine what he thought of girls, yet recently he has began developing uncomfortable feelings around them, especially the ones who run after him during a concerto.
Elizabeth laughed heartedly at the comment, oh her beautiful son was certainly growing, well at least he was becoming aware of all the female attentions, even if it initiates in a negative way, but then again doesn't it always?
Kneeling down next to Edward, Elizabeth smiled gently and held one of his delicate hand, "One day Edward, you will find a girl who you shall love, who inspires your work, who makes you laugh or even cry."
Father's fury 1909 to 1913
"I had heard what he said in there Elizabeth! Look at him, flimsy arms, meek little legs and a head soft as a pillow! How will he survive in the real world? Chewing on his music sheets?" The older Edward Masen yelled furiously, he had suppressed his anger for months, yet young Edward's innocent comparison of his skills to his cousins finally pulled the trigger.
"Ed, he is incredibly talented and not to mention, can't you see that he enjoys it immensely?" Elizabeth protested.
"He is only a child; you cannot know his future capabilities and people often exaggerate a child's talent simply for the sake that he is a child!"
"What about his happiness then?"
"If everybody were to do what makes them happy, what of law and God? This family would be on the streets if I were to do what I enjoy!" He stated firmly with a piercing gaze, Elizabeth broke down into tears at this, she understood what Edward had been referring to, he was a talented writer, specializing in the gothic genre, almost publishing a novel once. Yet due to circumstances, he never made it and his father sold his land to place him in a law school. His mother had died that year from a cold which could have been cured if they had been a little more prosperous.
"It's different now." Elizabeth protested, her arms locked to her sides, "We don't need to worry about prosperity."
"Eli, I am not as young as I used to be, I can't allow Edward stepping into this road full of obstacles, and I will not allow insecurity in your life, you and Edward are everything to me, I can't stand here and watch a possible tragedy unfold." Edward loosened her arms and held her gently as she sobbed into his shirt.
Young Edward watched as his musical world slowly dissolved before his eyes, he never really questioned Elizabeth about it, because he could see the vulnerability in her eyes whenever he stared at the empty space where his white baby grand once situated. Somewhat he understood the cause behind it. Nobody in the house, including the two servants ever mentioned the difference from the lack of beautiful melodies.
Several monthly passed by, and Edward was suddenly transferred to a new private school, the Kings that educated from first grade to the twelfth. He didn't protest about this either, yet simply tried to settle in. It was actually a rather pleasant change, although he had to give up all his friends, but he also got rid of all the irritating admirers.
Everything remained peaceful and unchanging for years, nobody knew of his talents as the school was boarding and far off from the centre of Chicago. He had gained several new friends, in which two are his dome mates, Joseph and Christian.
"Edward! Edward! Edward!!!!" Joseph flared his arms around as he rushed through the door, "You have got to come."
"What is it Jo?" Edward bolted from his sleeping position.
"There is a circus show!" Joseph exclaimed, almost jumping up and down in joy.
"Where? A circus show? For real?" Edward jumped up, quickly pulling on his uniform. The last circus show he had seen was when he was five and Kim the servant had sneaked him out secretly as the master disapproved of such 'dismal distractions' He had enjoyed the clown and the gypsy's fire spitting.
"Come with me, its just half a mile from the auditorium! Christian is already there he got enough coins for you and me, and reserved the front seats!" Breathlessly, Joseph dragged onto Edwards arm and darted towards the door.
"Off the school grounds? Jo we could get expelled, there is morning bible studies!" Edward pulled the two into a halt.
"Oh come on Edward, who cares, half the school is there already? I saw Mrs. Simpleton popping her gigantic red head around!"
Edward thought carefully for a moment, and decided that the temptation was too much to resist and allowed Joseph to lead the way. Christian was already anxiously in his front seats and beamed when he saw the two boys.
"Here, we got the best seats in the house!" He patted proudly to the two seats.
Joseph had not been exaggerating when he said half the school, there must be two thirds by now and Edward spotted most of the social science teachers hovering in the far back attempting to cover themselves from the students. He chuckled at their embarrassed yet anxious expressions, and quickly shifted his attention to the performance in the arena.
There was a lion tamer with three lions at the end of their performance; he skillfully led the lions into a dance and finally ended the show by placing his head in the lion's opened mouth. The entire arena applauded furiously as the next segment began. A clown brought out a xylophone and miraculously began playing Marry had a little lamb while juggling three bowling pins. One fell on top of the clown's head and he gave a pained yelp while skipping around holding his head. Everybody laughed at the hilarious yet tactful performance.
Edward was highly amused, he knew the xylophone well as it was not far off from the keys of a piano, 'the clown must have been extremely talented.' He thought. The clown took his bow as the next segment began.
A small girl, dressed blood red, not a day older than twelve made her entrance on a running ball. Edward suddenly tensed up, as all atmosphere of amusement disappeared, he could clearly sense the girl's unease from where he was sitting, her large brown eyes gaping widely, as she glanced behind nervously. Edward followed her gaze and saw a bull stepping out from the entrance door. The bull flared his nose and lowered his head, his back legs pounded loudly against the cement ground as he bolted after the frail red figure. The girl gasped and took her run.
"This young girl has outrun 35 young bulls this year on a running ball! She is the one and only Princess of Escape! Her inhuman speed and will was discovered at the age of three!" the commentator remarked with an incredulous gasp as the tiny body escapes yet another close assault.
Edward felt his fists tightening up as he watched the girl, obviously not enjoying a minute of the torture. It was unexplainable, but perhaps some form of righteousness inside of him awakened when he upheaval from his seat and bolted towards the girl. There were more than 3000 people in the arena that day, Edward was told later on.
He stopped abruptly in front of the shocked girl, took her hand and fleeted for the exit, faster than the audiences' reactions, faster than the guards, and faster than the shocked ringmaster. They ran, across the half a mile back to school and into the only place Edward knew was safe…even if temporarily.
He looked at the young girl, up close she was like a porcelain doll, large brown eyes stared at him in wonder, her rosy lips agape and drawing in shallow breathes to compensate for the run.
"I am sorry but you have to stay here in the girl's dome for now." Edward whispered his breath still shallow from the run and pulled out some cloths from a cabinet. "We are in the girl's supply room, this is where most of the clean and dirty washes are placed…well don't look at me like that, I only know this because Jo is a pervert…well not exactly. Oh god…" Edward slapped his head embarrassedly as he stumbled through the words. The girl simply watched him with wide eyes and a surfacing grin.
"Are you going to say something? What is your name?"
A bell like chuckle escaped the young girl's lips "My name is Isabel, but please just call me Bells. And thank you for helping me out…sorry what is your name?"
"Edward…Bells… that suits you." Edward stated with a lopsided grin.
"Edward suits you too, happiness and strength." Isabel remarked, giving him a toothy smile, yet the smile faded immediately as she tilted her head at the sound of rushed footsteps.
"Don't worry; those are just girls rushing to third class." Edward said after checking his watch. "You will be safe here for the moment, but I have to hide you somewhere for three days until the summer vacation begins." He frowned slightly, considering the pros and cons, he felt like it was his obligation to maintain her safety now. Protectiveness, that's what it was called came out of no where for this strange girl. It was as though God had secretly assigned him as her knight, and asked him to guard her life.
Edward handed her the uniform he held, "Here put this on, it will blend you in with the rest, no body will notice you as a new face since this school has more than 2500 girls. You will be able to walk around freely. Just be careful of class times, if any teacher spotted you wondering around, they may question you which could result in file checking. We don't want that to happen." His brows knitted in a furrow.
"You can spend your time in the library, it has four levels, so I doubt anybody will notice too much difference if you read in the corner." He then eyed her apologetically. "I'm sorry, but you do read? I simply assumed."
"A little." Bells smiled. Edward nodded, slightly surprised, he didn't expect the poor girl to receive education from the circus, maybe they had treated her better than he expected.
"We move around a lot, and mostly to private schools and fancy resorts. Most of those places had rather comprehensive libraries, I took advantage of all the opportunities I had…" Suddenly Bells tensed. "Oh my god, all my books are still there in the circus, and I didn't even say goodbye to dear old Harry, he must be so devastated." She grasped her head and nibbled on her bottom lips anxiously.
Edward felt a wave of guilt hit him; maybe he had been too impulsive when he rushed into the arena. Maybe her life was perfectly fine besides the performances, maybe she didn't mind living the life, yet it was his quick assumption and rash judgment that created the sense that she had been suffering. Now it was too late for her to return to her previous lifestyle, the ringmaster would surely punish her fiercely for this notorious escape, she may even get killed. He peeked at her in guilt as she glanced around her new environment like an injured rabbit. Secretly, he promised himself that he would retrieve whatever item important to her and try helping her say goodbye to old Harry.
Having those missions in mind, Edward quickly sketched a map of the school grounds to Bells, explaining all the safe havens and emergency escapes. He also came up with several reasonable excuses for bells to not be in class if she were ever required to recite one.
"Meet me during lunch break and morning break in the music room…here; this will help you keep track of the time." He took off the watch his father bought him for his 10th birthday and placed it in Isabel's small hands. "Be careful Bells, see you soon." He quickly rushed off after Bell gave him a firm nod, there were many things awaiting him to do.

Mokyr Presents Rogge Lectureby Scott Morrison '14 • March 19, 2014 Share:
Professor Joel Mokyr, Northwestern University, presented an accessible idea for what caused the start of the Industrial Revolution in Europe. He delivered the annual Benjamin A. Rogge lecture.
The Rogge Lecture serves as one of numerous opportunities for Wabash students and faculty to hear presentations from scholars from around the world. "I went to the Rogge Lecture with Dr. Mokyr because I have a strong interest in economic history," Adam Alexander '16 said. "After taking an economic history class with Dr. Burnette last semester, I have been looking for opportunities to learn more about the historical side of economics. In fact, next fall I will be studying economic history at the University of Oxford. So it was a really great opportunity to have one of the world's most renowned economic historians come to Wabash."
Mokyr said a market for ideas is what brought about the revolution, and the Republic of Letters which developed in Europe was specifically responsible for it. Mokyr has spent time researching the reasons why society is wealthier today than hundreds of years ago. "Why are we 20 times richer than our great great grandfathers?" Mokyr asked. "For most of history, the vast bulk of people were poor. They were living on the verge of subsistence, they were barely getting by. Now we all, or almost all people in the industrialized world are living at levels that are in no way on the verge of subsistence."
The answer could be institutions such as law and order, good property licenses, no rent seeking, good conflict resolution, openness and inclusiveness, and efficiency among others. These institutions can play a factor in making a country wealthier. Mokyr explained that two countries with similar resources and locations, such as North and South Korea, can have vastly different economic success because of the institutions in each.
However, these institutions can only help a country grow to a certain extent. This is because of the law of diminishing and marginal returns. "A country like Ukraine, for instance, nowadays could really grow a great deal if it improved its institutions because its institutions are really lousy," Mokyr said. "But if you look at a country like Norway which has really good institutions, can you make Norway richer by improving institutions? Well you probably could, but it's hard because its institutions are already really good. Technology isn't like that. So far it doesn't run into diminishing returns."
The aforementioned institutions are universal but can only help an economy to a certain extent. So what caused a momentous event like the Industrial Revolution and why did it happen in Europe and not elsewhere?
The answer is the transnational and virtual Republic of Letters. It spanned Europe and was almost entirely spread in the form or letters. No schools or buildings housed this republic.
There is a market for ideas like there is a market for many other products. A person who comes up with a new idea tries to sell it, or get other people to go along with that idea. Problems occur because ideas are public goods. Commons problems happen with public goods. Essentially there is little motivation to create new ideas.
The Republic of Letters created a community which fostered a growth of ideas. Much like those in academic communities today, the scientists, philosophers, mathematicians, and other thinkers shared their ideas with one another through letters and other publications in order to create reputations for themselves. A good reputation could lead to patronage from a wealthy count or duke.
The key was that this community was open to all, it tested new ideas, was egalitarian, and ideas were shared within it. People shifted their thinking into a belief that society progresses as time goes on and that the ancients could be challenged. Mokyr believes that the Republic of Letters still exists in academic communities and with advances like the Internet.
Students and faculty alike appreciated the way Mokyr tied his ideas together. "I think the concept made a lot of sense, and he did a great job parsing out all of the details," David Newhart '15 said. "He's incredibly smart and was able to back up the theory of his Institution with a large amount of facts from history. I saw a few professors smile about that."
Mokyr has served as president of the Economic History Association and editor of the Journal of Economic History and has written numerous papers and books on economic history including The Lever of Riches and The Enlightened Economy.
"Learning directly from world experts is a privilege usually reserved for graduate students," Alexander said. "At Wabash though, it happens so often that it almost seems to feel routine. It's one of the amazing things about this College that makes it so unique from other schools."

Former president Bill Clinton made no mention of his wife, but in his rallying cry to some 1,200 college students at Arizona State University Saturday one could hear a succinct rationale for her to run for president.
The country faces long-term debt problems that threaten its global competitiveness, Clinton said, and the solutions are not mind-numbingly difficult. But, he told the crowd, addressing them will require political will.
"Who will stand up and say: 'Send me. I'll fight for that'?" Clinton said. "There's no place for any of us in the peanut gallery. We have to be on the field and playing."
Clinton's remarks were about motivating young leaders to become more involved in politics and policy. "The Age of Participation" is the theme of this weekend's Clinton Global Initiative University conference held on the Tempe campus of Arizona State University. But as with everything the Clintons say and do these days, the former president's comments will be interpreted vis-a-vis Hillary Rodham Clinton's deliberations about running for president in 2016.
For the past two days, Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton have held forth on a campus stage using their star power to motivate some 1,200 millennials to foster change in their communities and the world. In one session, Hillary Clinton looked out on a sea of young people and said they were "open-minded and tolerant."
"We are going to make sure the millennial generation really is the participation generation," she said Friday night.
Although the three-day conference centers on altruism — on Sunday morning, the Clintons will join former congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz., and her husband, astronaut Mark Kelly, in a community service project to beautify a part of nearby downtown Phoenix — current events entered into the discussions.
During a wide-ranging family interview Saturday night with late-night talk-show host Jimmy Kimmel, Hillary Clinton said she hoped the millennial generation commits to making climate change "a voting issue" as powerful as other issues.
"This is not just some ancillary issue," Hillary Clinton said. "This will determine in large measure the quality of life in so many places around the world. I'm hoping that there will be this mass movement that demands political change."
Earlier Saturday, Bill Clinton went on an extemporaneous riff about deficit issues. He blamed debt problems on Republicans, whom he said have campaigned irresponsibly since the 1980s on promises never to raise taxes. He said they were "just like a child who likes to eat candy every day and never go to the dentist."
Clinton also condemned the state of U.S. politics and the growing power of super PACs to negatively define candidates.
"You couldn't always depend on a billionaire spending a fortune to run television ads against you to tell everybody how un-American you are," Clinton said. "This is a new thing in American history."
"On a bipartisan basis," Clinton added, "we need to reject it."
In an earlier session, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., joined Clinton for a panel discussion. Fifteen years ago, McCain voted twice to impeach Clinton after he lied about his extramarital affair with a White House intern. But on Friday night, all that seemed far in the past as the two men hammed it up like old buddies. They talked about the serious (Russia's aggression in Ukraine) and the silly (tweets from reality star Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi), and they showered each other with high praise.
Introducing McCain, Clinton called the senator "a good friend of Hillary's and mine, although we permit him to deny it at election time." McCain in turn congratulated Clinton on two terms in office and credited him with intervening in Bosnia to end ethnic strife there. "I think you made the right decisions," McCain told Clinton.
The bipartisan geniality underscored the close relationship McCain and Hillary Clinton developed when she was a senator, as well as the narrow daylight between the two on foreign policy.
The warmth also illustrated McCain's own recent political journey. Four years ago, McCain was running for reelection as an embattled incumbent struggling to prove his conservative bona fides and beat back a tea party challenger. The McCain of 2010 may not have so warmly welcomed the Clintons to Arizona.
Yet here was the senator, explaining to Clinton his experiences with Twitter — a medium the former president called "a staggering instrument of potential." When Congress passed the Affordable Care Act, McCain recalled, he received a tweet from someone named Snooki. "I don't know how familiar you are with Snooki, Mr. President," McCain said, eliciting knowing laughter from Clinton.
McCain said the very bronzed star of MTV's "Jersey Shore" sent him a tweet complaining that the health-care law included a tax on tanning beds, to which McCain replied that he would never tax her tanning bed.
Clinton and McCain also discussed the situation in Ukraine. Referring to a conversation he had backstage earlier with Clinton about Russia's president, McCain said: "Vladimir Putin is not a democrat. He's an old KGB colonel, and Vladimir Putin wants to restore what was once the Russian empire."

Hi everybody! This is Christine and welcome back to Sweet-Tooth Friday! This week I made Vegan Almond-Quinoa muffins from the featured cookbook of the month, Veganomicon.
Vegan cupcakes fit for cupcake snobs
Before I was a vegan baker, I worked at a boutique-style cupcakery that does fabulously creative displays and towers of cupcakes without ever compromising on flavor. When customers started requesting vegan cupcakes, I just wasn't sure I could make them to the standards people had come to expect from the shop.
Just for fun, I picked up a copy of Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World, and within days the cupcakery was able to offer vegan cupcakes on the menu. Yes, the recipes are that inspired and that good. In fact, I attribute my later decision to focus only on vegan baking, and eventually on food law, to that first positive experience.
So when I got my hands on Isa and Terry's next creation, Veganomicon, you can imagine how excited I was to find three chapters on baking! There are chapters for Desserts, Cookies and Bars, and Breads, Muffins and Scones. Holy cannoli!
Who knew quinoa could be so cute?
After deep contemplation I chose Almond-Quinoa muffins to try because I was intrigued by the idea of baking with a new kind of whole grain. Isa and Terry recommended red quinoa as particularly "charming" in these muffins, so I just cooked some up the night before with dinner and reserved an unseasoned portion.
Besides, when's the last time you had quinoa for breakfast, sweetened only with agave nectar and dried apricots? You will be blown away by how satisfying and yummy these healthy little suckers are!
Vegan Almond-Quinoa Muffins
- 1 cup vanilla soy milk
- 1 tbsp ground flaxseeds
- ¼ cup canola oil
- ¼ cup agave nectar or pure maple syrup
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 1¼ cups all-purpose or whole wheat pastry flour
- ¼ cup almond meal almond flour
- 1½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp cardamom
- 1¼ cups cooked quinoa
- ½ cup finely chopped dried apricots or currants
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and lightly grease a non-stick 12-cup muffin tin.
- In a medium size bowl, whisk together the soy milk and ground flaxseed. Allow to sit for 1 minute, then whisk in oil, agave nectar and vanilla.
- In a separate large bowl, sift together flour, almond meal, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and spices. Add the wet ingredients to the dry, mixing until just incorporated. Gently fold in the cooked quinoa and the apricots and mix until only the large lumps are gone.
- Pour into the prepared muffin tin and bake for 20 to 22 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
These almond-quinoa muffins are amazing! I didn't make any substitutions besides using my silicone cupcake wrappers instead of greasing a tin. I can't believe these muffins are quinoa-based and have so little sweetener. The almond flour lends a nice buttery taste, but without the heaviness of standard calorie-bomb muffins. Plus the cardamom makes them seem like an exotic treat.
I had great success with this recipe, and what's cool is that if you have any questions about an ingredient or substitution, there is a forum for The Post Punk Kitchen where readers can post and exchange ideas.
I'm once again very impressed with the quality of Isa and Terry's work— even my dad said, "Hey! these taste like real muffins!" Gee, thanks, dad! I'm not sure how I will survive until I order a copy of Vegan Cookies take over your Cookie Jar and a Show us your Mitts t-shirt.
Thanks and congrats
Before I go, I just wanted to say thanks for all the congrats you guys sent in about my first 5k. I had so much fun representing the NMA community, and competing in a race really lit that running spark again!
And congrats to Matt for the blog's upcoming first year anniversary! On yesterday's list of 75 ways going vegetarian has made life better, I really connected with #75, #69, #17, #15, and of course, #41. Thanks Matt, for the sweet opportunity to write a weekly post here!
See you next Sweet-Tooth Friday!
xoxo Christine

Hunters across Louisiana have teamed up with the LSU AgCenter and others to insure healthy herds of deer for generations to come. Since one of the things that can determine both the size of the bucks and the health of deer herds is the food supply, hunters are making commitments to preparing food plots.
Researchers at the LSU AgCenter's Idlewild Research Station near Clinton, La., are studying the many types of food plots that will benefit the deer population.
"We want to do all that we can to maintain healthy deer herds, and the work that we're doing here at the station provides the needed information for hunters," Dearl Sanders, the LSU AgCenter's resident coordinator at Idlewild, said, adding that for the past year, researchers also have been conducting studies involving a herd of red deer at the station.
To show off some of that work and share knowledge gained by various agencies and organizations, the LSU AgCenter recently teamed with the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries and the South Louisiana branch of the Quality Deer Management organization in a field day at Idlewild.
The field day was designed to provide participants with the latest on herd management. Sanders said it was the second educational event focused on deer management that the research station has hosted over the past year.
"We had a similar event in the fall to provide information on warm-season vegetation for deer, and this time we are getting them ready for the cool-season plants that will work well in their food plots," Sanders said of the educational program. "We have a lot of interest in the information that's provided by the agencies that are involved."
Quality Deer Management is a non-profit wildlife conservation organization dedicated to insuring a high-quality and sustainable future for white-tailed deer, which are native to Louisiana, and white-tailed deer hunting. The LSU AgCenter conducts research and educational activities on subjects ranging from natural resources and wildlife to human nutrition and health. And the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries is the agency charged with managing and protecting the state's wildlife and fisheries resources.
As for LSU AgCenter research, Don Reed, an associate professor in the AgCenter's School of Renewable Natural Resources, is working with a number of grasses and other plants to see what works best. Reed says his research is centered on the establishment, management and forage quality of various cool-season food plots for deer.
During the field day, experts also provided hunters with information to determine the age of the deer that they harvest. Will Forbes, an LSU AgCenter research associate at Idlewild, and other wildlife biologists demonstrated how age is determined in white-tailed deer by tooth wear and replacement and external body characteristics.
Another topic of interest to hunters and wildlife enthusiasts is chronic wasting disease, which is greatly feared by many wildlife experts, hunters and others. Although the disease has not been found in any Southern state, Reed said researchers continue testing each year.
"There is no live test for this disease, because an examination of the animal's brain tissue is needed to make a definitive diagnosis," Reed explained, adding that another problem with diagnosis is that the animal can have the disease without showing any symptoms for as long as five years.
To try to keep Louisiana free of chronic wasting disease, the Louisiana Livestock Sanitary Board imposed a ban on deer and elk entry into Louisiana on April 30, 2002. The state Department of Wildlife and Fisheries also has prohibited the entry of deer into Louisiana.
Chronic wasting disease was first identified in deer research pens in Colorado in 1978. Research continues to determine how the disease is transmitted in deer and whether it can be transmitted from deer to humans or other livestock.
"This disease was first seen in deer out West in Colorado, South Dakota, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Montana, Kansas and Wyoming." Reed said. It was first reported east of the Mississippi River in 2002, when it was found in wild deer in Wisconsin.
In addition to other educational events, the recent field day also served as a way to get information to hunters to let them know what to look for when it comes to sick deer.

After a good work out I will eat you all.
HUNGRY! I went to the gym this morning and like every time I head to the gym my appetite has kicked into overdrive. Nothing that approaches a reasonable meal seems to satisfy. Eat protein and complex carbohydrates? Doesn't work. Isn't working now. I guess I should just accept that increased metabolism is a good thing.
But man if this keeps up, by lunchtime I'm gonna start looking at my coworkers and start wondering how best to prepare them and what sort of sauce would go well with them. And I work in IT so just imagine the cholesterol. . .

MIAMI SHORES, Fla. – Barry University men's basketball coach Butch Estes announced the signing of University of Albany transfer Anders Haas.
Haas, a 6-1, 175-pound junior combo guard from Copenhagen, Denmark, spent one year at Albany – a Division I NCAA Tournament team that went 19-15 last season. Albany beat Mount St. Mary's in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament before falling to Florida, an eventual Final Four team whom the Barry is expected to open the exhibition season against in 2014-15.
Haas played for State College of Florida-Manatee as a freshman in 2012-13.
"He's a very gifted offensive player, who has three-point range, can take you off the dribble, and has a mid-range game," Barry head coach Butch Estes said. "I see him giving us consistency and depth in the perimeter, and his ability to shoot will help us space the floor."
At Albany, Haas scored a season-high 11 points in 10 minutes in an 86-56 win over the University of Maryland Baltimore County, in the America East quarterfinals. He had eight points in 11 minutes in a 70-59 win at Rider.
He shot 34 percent from 3-point range, and was an 84.6 percent free throw shooter in a limited role. He appeared in 21 games.
"He was a highly-touted player, and was looking for a home where he could be a bigger part of the puzzle," Estes said. "He's a pass-first, unselfish player who fits our style. He wants to do whatever he can to help our team be successful."
Haas attended his final two years of high school at perennial power Bishop O'Dowd in Oakland, California, where he averaged 17.9 points and 7.4 assists per game, shooting 46.2 percent from beyond the 3-point arc and 90.1 percent at the free throw line. He was selected to play for the Under-20 Senior Men's Team in Denmark in the summer of 2013.
"Any time you get a player from an NCAA Tournament school, you've got to be excited about that," Estes said. "I think Anders will bring a great deal of excitement to our team."
Haas is the second signee in Barry's recruiting class. The Bucs also landed guard Hunter Osceola, a product of Class 5A state champion American Heritage in Plantation, Florida, in the early signing period.

Mets strike deal with Tradition Florida
Spring Training, FSL facility to be renamed Tradition Field
By New York Mets | February 7, 2013 5:53 PM
"We are pleased to resume our partnership with Tradition Florida," said Mets COO Jeff Wilpon. "The iconic name is familiar to Treasure Coast residents and Mets fans."
"When people think about St. Lucie County and Port St. Lucie, the tradition of New York Mets spring training baseball comes to mind," said Tradition Florida's General Manager Jim Anderson. "We are proud to return the Tradition Field name to one of the finest baseball facilities in Florida, in the County and City that we are proud to call home. It is only appropriate that two of the area's most recognized brands are partners once again. This is an opportunity to affirm our long-term commitment to the community and it is reflective of the bright future we see for Tradition Florida and Florida's Treasure Coast. We are excited to continue the development and job creation in our region."
The Mets Spring Training home underwent a massive expansion in 2012. The right field seating area was converted into an outdoor hospitality space that connects the main stadium to the outfield grass berm area for easy access. The scoreboard was upgraded to include a larger screen and HD video capability.
The Tiki Bar and tiered tables on the third base side have become one of the most popular gathering spots at the facility. Fans of all ages have long enjoyed watching Mets Spring Training games and Florida State League contests from the outfield grass berm.
Located just five miles from the ballpark, Tradition Florida is an 8,200 acre master planned community that is designed around the region's largest network of parks and open green space. Tradition Florida has earned the reputation as the premier residential and business destination in Florida's Treasure Coast. Tradition Florida is home to nearly 5,000 residents, anchored shopping centers, an existing charter school, with another one on the way and a medical center rising up around the burgeoning life sciences research center in the Tradition Center for Innovation.
The naming rights agreement will be on the agenda in a special meeting of the Board of County Commissioners on Friday, Feb. 8, in a vote for final approval.

Our friend Dafydd ab Hugh is guest-blogging over at Patterico's Pontifications. One of his early posts analogizes Harry Reid's exhorting fellow Democrats to resume the filibuster before the ink on the "moderates'" "agreement" is dry to a Brady Bunch episode in which Greg has been grounded…well, you'd better just read it.
Dafydd is working on his own web site which, he assures us, is coming soon. It sounds like it will be quite a bit more complicated than a typical blog, with graphics that relate to his career as a science fiction writer.

The La Cañada Flintridge Country Club filed a lawsuit Monday claiming the U.S. Forest Service caused nearly $50,000 in damage to its grounds while fighting the August 2009 Station fire.
Firefighting helicopters responding to the blaze drained golf course ponds, damaging irrigation pumps, using thousands of gallons of water billed to the club and scattering sand, tree branches and other debris, according to club President Randy Dreyfuss.
The club filed suit in federal court after the Forest Service denied a 2009 administrative claim in November, said club attorney Burton Mark Senkfor.
U.S. Forest Service spokesman John Heil confirmed the agency's denial of the country club's claim in November but said officials have not yet been served with a copy of the lawsuit.
The Station fire consumed 160,000 acres in the Angeles National Forest, destroyed nearly 90 homes and claimed the lives of two Los Angeles County firefighters assisting the Forest Service.
"We never would have said 'No, you can't take some water.' The fire was raging out of control," said Dreyfuss. "On the other hand, it doesn't seem right that we have to foot the bill."
Dreyfuss said that Forest Service officials failed to heed the club's warnings that draining too much water from the ponds and stirring up sediment could jam the irrigation pumps with mud and cause their motors to burn out.
The club was also billed for water from hydrants that firefighters used to refill the ponds, he said.
"When we informed them [about potential pump damage], they opened up the hydrant and assured us that following the fire we could put in a claim. But when they got it, they said it wasn't a valid claim," said Dreyfuss. "To us that's just outrageous."
In addition to replacing damaged pumps and refunding the cost of water, the club seeks compensation for cleanup of debris and sand scattered by the helicopters. The lawsuit asks for $49,528.81.
Senkfor said the government has 60 days to respond to the suit, and a hearing may not be scheduled for months.
Dreyfuss complained that the Forest Service took nearly two years to respond to, and ultimately reject, the club's damage claim, forcing the suit.

I may be in the minority, but I really really love Robert Woods. I think he will be the best receiver to come out of this draft.
I'm curious how you guys would feel if we moved up into the early second to get him?

Sarlacc83 wrote:I think there's a really good chance Woods could end up being available at #56, honestly. He's kind of the forgotten WR at this point. So I don't think Seattle would trade up for him; I'd assume they'd wait for him to drop to them.

He is one of the more polished WR's in this years draft.....with that said, what you have is what you get. He is a number 2 WR....nothing more. I would prefer they draft for upside if they were to move up. I also think at the pick they have there will be others available with more upside that could potentially replace Rice at some point.
http://www.nfl.com/draft/2013/profiles/ ... id=2540179
WAYYYYYY More upside.
For me its the difference between the Ruskell era and JS era. Ruskell would go with Woods.... I think JS would make the risky upside pick of Rodgers.

Visual Test with Flickering Lights May Be Easier Than an MRI to Check Cognitive Function
Until recently, detecting dementia and other cognitive issues required lengthy tests, such as an MRI.
But researchers at the University of Georgia have discovered that a simple technique that measures visual processing speed can more easily provide information about executive cognitive abilities.
Executive cognitive abilities include shifting attention between different tasks, planning, organizing and problem solving.
Performing the test is quick and easy. You simply look into a device inside of which two wavelengths of light flash at increasingly fast speeds. Eventually, you stop recognizing the flash and start to see a circle instead. This is the point at which "critical flicker fusion" (CFF) occurs.
