eat. sans meat.
I can eat almost anything in a wrap. So when we came across these authentic roti wraps in kensington market today, I knew I had to make us some delicious vegan jerk.
Armed with a bushel of kale, tvp chunks, & fresh cauliflower and potatoes, I dedicated my Sunday to preparing what I'm now calling my 'meal of the century.'
This spicy, hearty, flavourful wrap packs enough punch to wake up your tastebuds, and is filling enough to last you the rest of the day. Plus it's super healthy so you won't feel guilty for immediately passing out on the couch afterwards while watching the newest episodes of Arrested Development on Netflix.
Make this because: Let's be honest. You don't cook with jerk, but you've always wanted to.
2 Cups, Low Sodium Broth1 Cup, TVP Chunks2 T, Freshly squeezed Orange Juice2 T, Lime juice3 medium red potatoes (or whatever rates you want, really), cut into bite size pieces1/4 Cauliflower, cut into manageable pieces1 Cup, Kale, chopped and de-stemmed.2 Cloves, Garlic, chopped suuuuuper fine1 Heaping T, Jerk Sauce (I used organic store bought, but you can whip some up using this)Roti WrapsOptional Toppings (lettuce, tomato, fried plantain, etc etc)Optional Sauce: Tahini Dressing
Bring broth to a boil. Add TVP and reduce to simmer. Add in Garlic, OJ, Lime and Jerk.
Meanwhile, cut and boil potatoes for ten mins and steam cauliflower for 5-10.
Add to TVP and stir well. Let simmer in juices for at least an hour. Add in your kale and stir.
Let simmer until all of the flavour has mixed in well.
IF (BIG IF) your mix is toooooo spicy, add in a touch of apple cider vinegar OR a teaspoon of brown sugar (or Palm Sugar). Continue adding little by little until the heat is tolerable.
NOW, so far all you've had to do is put a bunch of food in a big pot and stir it every 30 mins or so.
How can you NOT make this every day? AMIRIGHT!
Unwrap your large roti wrap, toss in a bunch of your mixture, roll up, and heat in a skillet until lightly browned on all sides. Looks like you're ready to eat, my friend.
Oh, and thinking about making a dressing for the side? Need a nice cold white sauce perhaps?
No worries! I've got you covered.
Garlic Dill Avocado Tahini Sauce
4 T, Tahini2 Cloves Garlic1 T, OJ1 T Lime1/2 Avocado1/2 t, dillOne green onion, cut into small piecesPinch of salt
Blend all of the ingredients together. Add 1T of cold water at a time until desired consistency is reached. As this is happening, you may want to add more lime/OJ/salt/Garlic to taste. It's up to you how powerful you want it. This stuff is delicious. You're going to love it.
Okay! So, you have this enormous roti, filled with potato, cauliflower, a deliciously spicy TVP, kale, and of course, love. You've smothered it in this avocado dill tahini, and you're sitting down to enjoy what I'm sure will be your most delicious meal of the week/month/year. I suggest you call someone over and share this delicious meal with them. After all, you want people to know how amazing you can cook, and nothing says master chef like some vegan jerk roti. Fact.
Enjoy, kiddies.
Your alarm clock goes off and you've already hit the snooze button 487 times. Somehow you find the strength to peel yourself from in between your sheets, and you hop into last nights jeans to start your day. It's 8:45. You've got 15 minutes to get to work, but first things first, you need some nourishment.
You could easily grab a $4 breakfast sandwich from Tim's, or stop in at the <insert chain restaurant here> and grab an overpriced breakfast in hopes of fighting off your massive hangover.
But wait - you spent an hour this past Sunday preparing the below recipe, and that means you are more than taken care of.
This all vegan recipe is incredibly easy to prepare, no matter how difficult it may seem. I promise you this.
With ONE ingredient, you can make these amazing little hash brown nests, and then fill them up with one of the most delicious Tofu Scramble recipes EVER. Add in the fact that you can freeze these beauties and heat them up in only a few minutes, and you have yourself a winner.
Make these because: You don't need to be awake in the morning to enjoy a delicious homemade breakfast. You're welcome.
1 Brick, extra firm tofu1/2 red pepper, chopped3 cloves, garlic1 medium shallot, diced1 jalapeño, minced1/2 t, turmeric1 t, paprika1 cup, Kale, cut into small pieces, stems removed.1 T, Lemon juice 2 baking potatoes1 T, chipotle (optional)1/2 T, brags (or low sodium soya sauce)2 T, nutritional yeast (or daiya/cheese)S&P
Clean and scrub your potatoes. Bake in the oven at 400• for 45-60 minutes.
You don't want to cook them until they are too soft. Just enough so that you can grate them. Once done, cool in the fridge, peel, and grate.
Press your tofu and try to get out as much water as possible. Break up into a big bowl and with your hands. Break it down as much as possible. Add in your turmeric, chipotle, paprika and a little salt.
Mix it all together and set aside.
Now, heat some oil in a pan on low and toss in your onion. Once translucent, add in red pepper, garlic, & jalapeños. Cook for about five minutes.
Add in the tofu scramble and raise heat to medium.
Now, add in your brags and nutritional yeast, stir well, and finally add in your kale and lemon juice.
Grab a muffin tray, and either spray it with cooking oil, or simply take a little bit of vegan butter and rub the edges with a paper towel.
Spoon in a hefty portion of the grated potato and push down, forming a nest.
Finish off with a grind of pepper and bake in the over at 450 for about 20 minutes.
Once crispy on the top, fill with a spoon or two of scramble, pack it in, and return to the oven for another 10-15 minutes.
See, that wasn't difficult, was it?
Once they've cooled down, you can easily remove them from the tray with a spoon or fork.
I wrapped mine in tin-foil and put them in the freezer so I can reheat quickly in the mornings.
Spend the rest of the day bragging to your friends about how amazing these breakfast cups taste. Even better, reheat one of these the next time you're having a slower than normal morning and watch how fast you start to feel better.
Kale Pasta w Creamy Avocado Tahini
I had less than thirty minutes and needed a healthy, filling, dinner.
Instead of doing what we all wish we could do every night (duh, order pizza), I decided to whip up this simple pasta dish.
It's also spring and I really enjoy cold pasta dishes (at least the healthy ones), so I cooled off the leftovers and guess what?
It was delicious.
Oh, and there's like, 0.5 ingredients. There's really no excuse.
Make this because: Eating pasta with pasta sauce from a jar doesn't cut it anymore. You're better than that.
2 servings of a small Pasta 1/4 bush, Kale1 Avocado4 T, Tahini1/2-1 Lemon (or lime if thats what you have)2 cloves, Garlic4 T, or more, Water S&P(optional) sprinkle of Chili Flakes(optional) Olive Oil
Cook pasta as per instructions.
In blender, mix everything else (minus Kale & chili flakes)).
Add water, S&P as needed, until you have a nice creamy mixture, with a garlicky bite.
Once pasta is done, strain and return to pot with a small drip of olive oil. Add in sauce and stir, keeping pot on low.
Cut the stems from your kale and discard, then cut leaves (make sure they're washed), into small, bite sized pieces.
Add to pasta and mix well. Top with a sprinkle of chili flakes if you want. I always do, and I'm awesome.
Now for the fun part.
Or chill the whole darn thing. Whatever makes you happy, bb.
Just wanted to say that I made the spicy green soup this afternoon, and it turned out great! What a great recipe. Even though today really felt like spring in Waterloo (yay!) and helped me let go of the winter blues, this soup was still such a nice treat to warm up to.
Looking forward to trying more of your recipes!
THANK YOU ERICA! So glad you liked it!
I'm going to Austin, Texas next week to take part in the annual SXSW music festival. While the main portion of the week will be spent working (trying to find clients for my new, super-amazing job at Ticketfly), I plan on partying hard and seeing as many bands as possible. More importantly, I will be enjoying the beautiful weather. And I'm sure you can relate. The winter here in Toronto has been less than hospitable and I'm ready for some sun!
Which brings me to my latest recipe. A thick, hearty, vegan soup, made out of only a few ingredients, which only took me about 30 minutes to make. Because it may be cold, but we sure as hell don't have to be.
Sound like your kind of meal? I thought so too.
Make this because: We all need an excuse to vigorously blend things once in a while. Plus, you can have 1,000 pieces of bread with it and nobody will judge you.
Ingredients:1 head, Cauliflower1 head, Broccoli1 Shallot3 ounces, Spinnach2-3 cloves of garlic2 cups, broth (low sodium if possible)1/4 Cup, Nutritional Yeast1.5 Cups, Unsweetened Rice Milk (or alternative)1 Avocado1 t, nutmeg2 T, Vegan Butter1 T, Red Chili Flakes1 T, Flour (omit if GF)Cracked Black pepper
Directions:On low heat, melt butter. Add chopped up onion and garlic and sauté for a good few minutes. Once translucent, add pepper and nutmeg, and stir it in. Cook for another minute before adding your flour, Spinach, Cauliflower and Broccoli. Mix well, and raise heat to med. Add broth and cover for 10-15 minutes or until the veggies are nice and soft. Add milk, chili flakes, nutritional yeast & remove from heat. So far, we've spent a total of 20-25 minutes in the kitchen. You're doing great. Now, you can either hand blend this, or use a traditional blender. But whatever you do, make sure you only pulse it, and never fill your blender to much because soup is hot and it will explode. Trust me. Now, pour your soup back into your giant pot to heat, carve some bread, and get ready for a delicious homemade meal. Garnish with more pepper and your avocado (and vegan sour cream if you so desire). For my cheese loving friends. You might not have Nutritional Yeast on hand, or you might just prefer real cheese in your soup. If that is the case, you can omit the N.Yeast and at the very end, add a few cubes of mozzarella. It will melt and be all gooey and you'll be all like, "daaaaaamn." or whatever your popular catch phrase is this week.
Enjoy, lovelies.
2013 Trials!
Creating recipes means getting creative.
I've been using a lot of cauliflower recently to make some pretty cool new dishes including latkes and a delicious taco filling. On top of that, I've been working on different variations on my now infamous Seitan. I used them in a delicious cheesesteak calzone while I perfect my pastry in anticipation of my biggest project this year; creating a mind blowing Stout Pie.
You're in for a real treat. In the meantime, here are some delicious pictures of what I've been working on. Enjoy!
Oh, and if you want any of the recipes above, just let me know. XO
Jalapeño, Avocado & Brie Poppers
I read the back of a box of jalapeño poppers the other day. Needless to say, I was sorely disappointed in what I read. There was a ton of ingredients I couldn't even make out (anything with a number in it is normally a bad sign), but more importantly, I don't even think they were vegetarian. Sigh.
Now, you and I both know how amazing the combination of brie and avocado is. But add in Jalapeño and we're talking next level.
But I didn't want to "recreate" poppers today. No, today I had my creative juices flowing. So I took it up a notch. I made a mexican bean and seitan chipotle dough, stuffed it with Peppers, Avo and Brie, and fried/baked those suckers into golden deliciousness.
And before we get started, I'd like to tell you that I made these in under an hour. Seriously.
From Scratch. Prep and cooking time - UNDER 60 minutes.
Make these because: Nothing in the world will make you as happy as putting these poppers down your pie hole.
1 Can (19fl oz) red mexican beans
1 Cup Gluten Flour
1 t, chipotle, cumin, garlic
1 T, Tomato paste
1 Cup, Broth
1/2 Cup, Breadcrumbs
1 Avocado
1 Jalapeño, cut into small pieces
lil' milk
lil breadcrumbs
Oil for frying
Prepare broth.
Preheat oven to 400•
Preheat a frying pan with oil (enough to cover the bottom, but not too much).
Rinse Beans (and smash them soooo good).
Mix spices in with Gluten flour. Add to beans and slowly stir in half your broth.
Mix together well until you have a dough like substance. Add more broth, paste, and breadcrumbs.
You'll now have a beany, seitan, crumby dough. And it's going to be awesome.
Dice up your Avo, jalapeño and brie.
Separate a handful of dough and roll it out as thin as possible.
Put a pile of Avo/Brie/Jal in the middle of your seitan dough, and wrap up as tight as possible. If there are holes or cracks, fill them in with more seitan mix.
They should end up being about the size of a yoyo, or smaller.
Now, time to dredge.
On a small plate, pour out some milk (I use rice or almond).
Next door, pour some breadcrumbs on to another plate.
Anyone else starving right now?
Roll your seitan balls in the milk, then the crumbs, and toss into the hot oil. I say toss, but really, carefully place them in the oil.
Cook on all sides until brown.
Now, put them in your preheated oven for 20 mins or less. When they are piping hot and starting to ooze cheese…. remove.
Note: if you roll them properly, your cheese will not spew.
Full disclosure. I hate that word. *Spew*
Serve with a salsa, or get creative! And don't forget to place on some paper towel to get rid of the excess oil. Because nobody needs that.
Hey pals!
Here's a delicious addition to your breakfast arsenal. Make it on those iffy days where you just can't figure out what to eat. I made these on a cold winter weekend, and they couldn't have turned out better. Served with homefries and sautéed spinach, these won't disappoint. Oh, and someone please remind me to have my camera charged at all times. Phones are cool and all, but they don't take the best pictures. Ingredients:One brick, extra firm tofuOne sweet potato One T, Soya Sauce (low sodium)One Clove, garlicOne t, lemon juiceOne T, FlourOne-Two T, Vegan Butter One Cup, Soy MilkOne t, mustardOne Cup, cheese/daiyaCracked black pepper
DIRECTIONS:Skin and cut your sweet potato. Boil in water until soft. Mash! Add a T of Butter if needed. Add salt & pepper as needed. While preparing the above, cut tofu into rectangles, about 1/2 an inch thick. Press out liquid and soak in mixture of garlic, soya sauce and lemon. Pan fry tofu until nice and brown. In saucepan, melt 1T of butter. Add flour and stir into paste. Slowly add milk at high temp while stirring vigorously. Sauce will thicken. Add cracked black pepper, mustard and cheese. If too thick, add more milk.
Now, spoon a hefty portion of sweet potato onto tofu and top with cheese sauce. Make this because: You should prove to people that tofu scramble isn't the only breakfast alternative you know.
Merry Christmas everyone. Here's our Tofurkey, basted with a Poultry Seasoning/Shallot concoction, and highlighted with Yorkshire pudding, veggie gravy, carrots, peas, brussels sprouts, mashed potatoes, stuffing, and steamed kale! This year we had the pleasure of hosting a new guest who recently lost someone very near and dear to her. We have always had an open door policy, especially during the holidays, and our newly vegan friend was beyond excited to get a home cooked meal and some good company. It was our absolute pleasure.
From my family to you and yours..
I hope you all had a wonderful Holiday filled with love and happiness.

Easy Seitan Sausages!
I have to just write this out and tell you the recipe, because with every passing second, my inner 10 year old is telling me to make dirty sausage jokes, and I know for a fact that I will give in.
So here goes…
It's often difficult to create a delectable protein that can be used in a variety of ways. This sausage does just that.
Side order at Breakfast, in a pasta sauce, in a bun (straight from the BBQ), or just cut up and put in a sandwich. You can't go wrong.
The ingredients are simple, and if you're a vegetarian, you should have all of this in your kitchen already. if not, everything listed is worth the investment.
Make this because: You can tell all the jokes that I wanted to tell, but didn't because my mom reads this and would not be impressed.
1 C, Gluten Flour1 C (or less), Low Sodium Broth (I use Fake Beef)1/2 t, each: Garlic powder, Onion powder, Cayenne1 t, Cumin1/4 T, Paprika3/4 T, Soy Sauce (Low sodium)3 T, Nutritional Yeast2 Squirts, Liquid Smoke
Mix wet ingredients together and make sure it is cool (fridge or freezer works quickest). Mix dry ingredients in a bowl and mix thoroughly. Now, mix wet + dry together. BUT WAIT! Add half of the liquid, mix, and add more little by little until you have an evenly formed "dough" ball. No remaining dry mix. You do not want to over soak your seitan. Now, cut into 3 even pieces and roll into a sausage. Place in tinfoil and carefully wrap it up, twisting the edges when complete. Steam for 40 minutes, flipping to make sure it steams evenly.
Remove from heat, tinfoil, and check it out!!! SAUSAGE!
Now, get creative!
Merry Christmas.
Quinoa Curry, In a Hurry.
Cook quinoa. Add whatever veggies you want ( I used carrot, peas, lentils), and add a tablespoon or two of your fav curry spice. I added strained tomato as well, and you can even add coconut milk. It's easy, fast & delicious. I highly advise Naan on the side.
Guacamole is super simple which means it's pretty hard to screw up.
But there are thousands upon thousands of variations, all of which can be considered 'good' (but not necessarily the best).
My guac has won many awards including: 'Best Superbowl Dip' & 'Munchie Party Must have of 2010.'
And so what if I made both of those up- It's seriously that good.
Follow these simple instructions to improve your guac.
Ingredients:Avocado (3) 3 strips of an onion, diced 1.5 limes 2 cloves garlic, diced S&P
Dirrrrections:Squeeze lime juice into bowl with onion and garlic. Add two grinds of salt. LEAVE IT FOR TEN MINUTES.
Keep waiting, seriously.
That's it. That's the secret.
'Cook' the onion and garlic by leaving it in the lime juice and salt for about ten minutes. Now, add your avo and pepper. Maybe more salt if you want, and you're done. NOTE: Do not actually cook the garlic and onion. Just let it sit in the lime juice. This will soften it. ;)
Now, Take the party master award for being an epic guac maker. You're welcome.
Your favourite vegetarian is being highlighted in the official launch of the beautiful new magazine, Food Will Never Break My Heart. Come join me, won't you?
Here's the event!
Another Delicious Breakfast over here at Shove It Down Your Pie Hole.
Vegan Challenge: Fillet Mignon
Veggie Pals, unite. Although a contradiction by definition, Vegan Fillet Mignon is very doable. And I have the recipe to prove it.
After a few discussions with some carnivorous friends of mine, I came to the realization that a veggie dish, similar enough to Fillet Mignon, can be created using some ingenuity and patience.
By using a few new cooking methods, some old ideas from past creations, and a little cheating (the fake bacon was purchased), I came up with a recipe that is destined for greatness.
What's the Oscar equivalent for cooking? Maybe a lifetime achievement award for contributions to the veggie community? Okay, how about someone gives me a gold star and we call it a day? Either way, this recipe is impressive.
Make this because: aren't you a little bit curious?
Makes 4-8 Steaks, depending on the size.
DRY 1 t garlic powder1 T paprika1 t cumin1 t, pepper2 Cups vital gluten flour
WET 3T braggs8 squirts, liquid smoke ( I used the Hickory for this version)1 1/3 Cups - FAKE beef broth1 T Red WIne1 t, marmite
RED WINE REDUCTIONI cup, Red Wine 1/2 Cup, each, FAKE Beef+Chicken Broth2 cloves of garlic, whole1 stem of fresh rosemary
BROTH 1 T, Red Wine4 Cups - FAKE beef/chicken broth (mix)1/8 Cup - Braggs
Fake baconToothpicksSide dish (Kale? Mashed Potatoes? etc)
Quick Note: The lower the sodium levels of your broth, the better.
First things first, let's take a deep breath. This is easy, so let's not get ahead of ourselves. Let's do this. One. Step. At. A. Time.
Since I use broth cubes, I boil water, add broth and stir like mad. Once done, add the rest of the wet ingredients and mix thoroughly. Once mixed, put in the fridge or freezer and allow to cool. This is an important step.
Gently stir dry ingredients into the gluten flour. Use a ceramic or glass bowl to help avoid sticking when you eventually add the wet mix.
While your wet ingredients are cooling in the fridge, mix your broth ingredients together in a large pot, and let it simmer on low heat.
Your broth is on, your wet mix has cooled, and you're ready to go!Genlty pour the wet mix into the dry mix and give it a stir! You'll start to see the gluten flour turn into a meat like substance. Breath a sigh of relief. Feel free to get your hands in there (wash first, kiddies), and help form the dough. Once completely mixed, place "meat" on the cutting board and roll into a long roll. If you need a hand forming it, wrap it in a bit of saran or parchment. Drop that into your broth and simmer for 30-40 minutes. Easy, Peasy. *(Note: remove parchment &/or Saran before simmering)
While your faux meat is simmering, you have some time to make the perfect reduction. The trick here is to cook the wine on low to help evaporate the alcohol but pull A LOT of flavour. Start by putting everything except the broth into a saucepan. Heat on low for about 20 minutes, or until the liquid is about half. Now, add your broth and continue simmering on low until it has reduced by half again. You will end up with about 1/2 cup of liquid, but holy moly will it be worth it. When done, drain through a small hole strainer (to remove rosemary stem and garlic) and set aside.
You're steak is done & so is your reduction! Remove from broth and press out as much liquid as possible. You can put it in cheesecloth or a clean dishtowel and press with books if needed. Now, cut your faux meat into steaks and wrap a piece of faux bacon around it! Oh, and toothpicks will hold it together, so you needn't worry. Toss into the oven at 450• for 10-15 minutes each side, just to give it that crispy steak texture. NOTE: If you have ever had steak, you can have it cooked medium, medium well done, well done, etc etc. The oven is where you decide how you'd like your 'steak.' The longer, the more well done!
Once cooked to perfection, serve with your favourite sides, and pour a few tablespoons of your reduction on top for added flavour and juiciness.
My suggestion? Steam some Kale and serve with these twice baked potatoes, which I made last week, except as a mash instead of a 2x bake.
Til next time,

Most Heartbreaking Loss: St. Louis Cardinals over New York Mets in Game 7 of the 2006 NLCS
Carlos Beltran played six and a half years for the Mets, and he'll be remembered for one thing: watching a curveball hook over the outside corner with the bases loaded to end New York's season in the bottom of the ninth.
Since then, the Mets have collapsed in two straight Septembers; a late April report in Fortune reported the team is $625 million in debt; and they are obligated to pay Bobby Bonilla (who retired in 2001) $1.19 million each July 1 over the next 25 years. There are…

The AU women's soccer team dropped its first game of the season Sunday, falling 4-0 on the road to the Georgetown Hoyas.
Samantha Baker, Jessica Clinton, Alexa St. Martin and Daphne Corboz each tallied one goal for the Hoyas (2-0), who opened the season ranked No. 23 in the National Soccer Coaches Association of America Preseason Poll. The Eagles (1-1) struggled to put together any offensive attack throughout the game, recording no shots in the first half and one on the afternoon.
"We learned as a team that we need to come out with more energy, as we did in the second half," Head Coach Dave Bucciero told AU Athletics. "Georgetown is a very talented team, but we will learn…

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Melted bowling balls in the front yard were among the strange sights that met C.J. Moore upon her return Sunday to her two-story home, now reduced to ashes by the worst wildfire in Colorado history.
You wouldnt think bowling balls would melt, she told The Associated Press by phone from the scene in her Mountain Shadows neighborhood, where she was among residents who were allowed temporary visits to areas most affected by the fire.
More than a week after it sparked on June 23, the Waldo Canyon fire was still being attacked by 1,500 personnel. But crews working grueling shifts through the hot weekend made progress against the 26-square-mile fire, and authorities said they were confident they finally had built good fire lines in many areas to stop the spread of the flames.
So far, the blaze, now 45 percent contained, has damaged or destroyed nearly 350 homes.
It was one of several still burning in the West, where parched conditions and searing heat contributed to the woes facing crews on hundreds of square miles across Utah, Montana, Wyoming and Idaho.
In Colorado Springs, a line of cars a mile long queued up at a middle school checkpoint, where police checked the identification of returning residents.
Authorities said they would lift more evacuation orders Sunday night, bringing the total number of people who remain blocked from their homes down to 3,000 from more than 30,000 at the peak of the fire.
A bear invasion confronted a few mountain enclaves west of Colorado Springs. The scent of trash had enticed black bears pushed out of their usual forest habitat by fire.
People who left in a hurry didnt take typical precautions to secure household trash against wildlife, said El Paso County Sheriffs Lt. Jeff Kramer.
So thats become an attraction for the bears, Kramer said.
State game officials were trying to shoo the bears out, he said, and trash bins were in place to help volunteers and returning homeowners throw stuff out.
Among the fires elsewhere in the West:
Fire commanders say Utahs largest wildfire has consumed more than 150 square miles and shows no sign of burning itself out.
Crews in eastern Montana strengthened fire lines overnight on a 246-square-mile complex of blazes burning about 10 miles west of Lame Deer.
A wind-driven wildfire in a sparsely populated area of southeastern Wyoming exploded from eight square miles to nearly 58 square miles in a single day, and an unknown number of structures have burned.
Firefighters in eastern Idaho had the 1,038-acre Charlotte fire 80 percent contained Sunday but remained cautious with a forecast of high winds and hot temperatures.

"Lovers of print are simply confusing the plate for the food."
― Douglas Adams
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Laura Rahme submitted The Ming Storytellers designed by Caryn Gillespie. "It is with pleasure that I submit the cover of The Ming Storytellers for your consideration in this competition. The Ming Storytellers was released on Amazon Kindle in July 2012. Its cover is the work of designer, Caryn Gillespie. The artwork is intended to evoke the dark, mysterious and oriental themes of the novel. The female representation is sensual and introspective in a manner that recalls the beautiful and strong female protagonist. There is an emphasis on the ocean which evokes far away journeys -the main male character being the famous Chinese admiral, Zheng He- along with the idea of a spiritual journey. The dark blue color scheme and the burning buildings in the background aim to convey the depth and intense journey that is The Ming Storytellers."
JF: Just love this cover and the evocative illustration. Even though the illustration is complex it maintains our focus, drawing us into the story. And although I would like to "bump up" the author's name a bit, the dimensionality added by having the woman's figure arising from a dark sea adds even more drama. Fantastic job.
It would've been easy to indulge the instinct to roll my eyes at this laughable anachronism, shrug off the publisher's voluntary self-deportation from relevance, and refuse to feature the book in righteous indignation. But given how much I want to support Thessaly and Jane's wonderful work, how much I respect the remarkable roster of contributors, many of whom I know personally, and how much the project sings to my own bibliophile heart, that wouldn't have been the answer. Instead, I choose to write about the book, but also refuse to perpetuate this hideous underbelly of the old-world publishing pantheon by virtue of tacit silence.
I respect both Sarah Weinman and Maria Popova greatly and follow them both religiously. Each represents the best of the new world of digital content and social media and both have unwittingly joined forces to illustrate the core foundational problem of this digital evolution which we have yet to adequately address - who controls the rights to reproduction and at what point do those rights shift ownership?
The book in question here is Jane Mount and Thessaly La Force's My Ideal Bookshelf published by Little Brown. The book features Jane Mount's beautiful paintings of the bookshelves of creators, writers, and artists selected by Thessaly La Force. Maria Popova's Brain Pickings is a wonderful and influential blog and important discovery engine for cultural content. Ms Popova was somewhat upset that Little Brown did not make available for free more than three examples of the paintings which compose the majority of the book's content. Any more would, according to Little Brown, constitute a subrights deal and be a serialization or reprint of the content. Maria Popova instead scanned pages from the book and called out Little Brown for their "voluntary self-deportation from relevance" and bemoaned the plight of "authors and artists caught in this toxic paradigm and its false choice between going with a big publisher and never reaching an audience".
What Ms Popova neglected to mention was the other half of the creators plight - content vultures who abuse the right of fair use in order to siphon off value from the content and away from the creators. Ms Popova speaks of the author's audience but how much of her post on My Ideal Bookshelf a review intended to call attention to the authors work and how much is intended to excerpt a portion of the work to share with her readers as editorial content as a magazine would? As a review it is quite adequate to show 3 examples in order to understand the general theme of the content. In fact the 15 examples of scanned pages she includes just seems excessive (and a bit vindictive and frankly highlights the redundancy of the work somehow devaluing it). 15 paintings are just about every painting in a 32 page signature. As an editor of a review of the book I would have cut two thirds of them as they add nothing to the piece other than space and distract from the text of the article.
As an editor for the book trade's Publishers Marketplace and a book editor in her own right I can see Sarah Weinman's problem with Maria Popova's righteous indignation but this also highlights another issue that I believe needs to be addressed. People within the publishing community have a smug, dismissive attitude toward bloggers who write lengthy posts about the assumed cost of ebook creation or loads of charts on sales trends based on guesses derived from Amazon site ranking rather then actual sales numbers. Most people outside the trade do not understand how a book is made or distributed let alone the economics at play and the publishing community is not terribly keen on how advertising how antiquated and inefficient it still is so rather than take advantage of these conversation opportunities we tend to just point out the commentators lack of inside industry knowledge and move on smugly.
This does nothing but prolong the miscommunication and keeps us from addressing the real core issues that are impeding our transformation into and industry of true digital content creators. Rights are about power and control of content but they are also about definition and the definitions in most publishers dictionaries were written before email existed, let alone Facebook or Instagram. We need to have more open debate and discussion about rights and how in a digital world they impact reprint, reproduction, author royalties, translation, and promotion. Hell, we still do not even have a clear idea of the definition of ebook ownership as Random House has recently shown us. As publishers we feel we have the empirical right to the content we publish and should have complete and unquestioned control of that content and it's distribution and dissemination. The problem is the digital world is very porous.
Unless we humble ourselves and admit that the very nature of sharing content in a digital world requires new definitions and new business models and that we as publishers no longer have full control of the distribution pipeline and that the pubic has all the same tools we do in order to make and create books, movies and music we run the risk of having other redefine them for us. As a society we have to include the reader and the sharer in the discussion and redefinition of what are the inherent and acceptable rights that govern content in a digital world. Rather than be dismissive we need to be inclusive and open a public dialog.
The most interesting thing to me about this entire spat about the rights to post images of paintings from this book is that the actual creator of said paintings seems to have not been consulted. Ms Popova feels Little Brown is making it too hard for her to promote their book and show enough content at a high enough quality as to allow her readers the feeling of actually reading the book. Little Brown feels that since they paid to create the book they should be compensated for any exploitation of that book and that bending the rules on a case by case basis based on the potential promotional value of the exposure is just too hard and complicated. To both the images in My Ideal Bookshelf are jpegs and PDFs and the argument is about the difficulty in the decision process and convenience of sharing those image files and those files inherent value.
Here is a video of Jane Mount showing just how much work goes into creating one of the paintings behind those jpegs. More than one hundred of those paintings comprise the book. The book retails for $15.61 on Amazon. I am pretty sure Jane Mount has an opinion on the value of those jpegs and just where the line of compensation and fair use should be drawn.
(Ed Fornieles, Adventureland, 2011)
Comics have had a very different path to digital transition with their distribution staying mainly as downloaded PDFs. Evolution has been slow, Kindle's Panel View was a poorly executed attempt to create a vehicle for epub comics and Barnes & Noble stayed with the PDF based format. ComiXology currently owns the distribution market with a PDF based app with it's strength coming more from being one of the first in market. Their success keeps the medium locked in a static PDF format. This is unfortunate because even more than books, comics can take advantage of HTML and break away from the frozen printed page layout of a print or PDF comic book.
Lets look at the two ways to deal with electronic comic books, first Digital Comics and then Web Comics. Here is a free Digital Comic distributed on the web based on a Stephen King short story using the traditional page layout and PDF format.
Stephen King's Little Green God of Agony
Next we have a true Web Comic designed from the beginning to be read on the web and take full advantage of the screen it is read on, pushing outside the boundaries of the panel and page, incorporating the readers actions and adding movement to the reveal of the story. This creates a heightened mood and tension to the narrative in a way static sequential panels cannot.
Connor Willumsen's Everett (parts NSFW)
Aside from the obvious layout and reading experience there is another major difference as outlined by Warren Ellis:
There is no experience of broadcast in digital comics. Digital comics are, in fact, the closest digital emulation of the store experience: they're flung up on a virtual shelf.
Webcomics are broadcast. From the moment they're uploaded, they're surrounded by an expanding sphere of URLs and shortcodes, of RTs and Likes and +1s, and are being opened on desktops and laptops and tablets and phones.
Ellis makes a lot of good points in his blog post from last October, The Boradcast of Comics. With book publishing starting to look more seriously at HTML readers and the advantages of a convergent web experience it is time for the Web Comic to get more attention.
The focus is off webcomics right now. People are looking at how to get into the digital comics services. And quite rightly: they offer the possibility of bypassing the zero-sum game of serialising new and original material into the direct sales comics store market, a market that's frequently been quite adamant about how it doesn't want to sell new and original material. If I had the ability to go into digital comics right now and attempt to access a paying audience for new work, I absolutely would…
But webcomics are where the reach is. Webcomics are not the inferior option just because there's not a payment system in place. Webcomics, for some little time to come, are where you're going to hear about new things first.
In the 12 months since Ellis's post alternate payment options have become more accepted. Kickstarter, 'pay what you can', and subscription models are becoming increasingly viable options to direct download purchase. With the move to the cloud even the idea of the "product" not actually living on your device is becoming more common. Amazon's recent purging of a users Kindle content just served to highlight that everything we read on a screen is licensed rather than owned making pay to access web comics more palatable to the consumer.
The possibility for Web Comics to be so much more than PDF based Digital Comics is very compelling. Linked-data, tagged and searchable text, SEO, and total integration with social media and community and audience building. But the most important advantage of Web Comics is unlike the insular, compartmentalized, single unit product of a Digital Comic - Web Comics are broadcast. They are an episodic streaming connection to an audience that can be experienced communally in ways not seen before. It is now even possible to watch the artist as he creates each panel live. Because the real difference is the distribution. Content on the Web is different. The Web is direct - creator/publisher to reader. The Web hates a middle man and closed, walled retailer environments are middle men. Those who think of their content in terms of broadcasting will have a leg up building an audience and creating traffic that can sustain incredibly successful direct to consumer transactions. You don't need big numbers like you do with ad based models, you just need enough of a dedicated audience to fund the production. We've seen this on Kickstarter over and over. Gearbox is a multimedia Web Comic being built from a Kickstarter project funded by just 33 backers.
Originally produced by Good Smile Company to promote the L.A Secret Studio Show at Parco in Tokyo.
Printed in limited quantities and made in Japan, the bag features explanatory text on the interior side, with custom blue stitching chosen to match the painting on the exterior. A convenient, lightweight bag for odds, ends, and beginnings.

"It's a crap shoot...."
All depends on the individual maker. I smoke these daily and when they are made right, they are fantastic. Cool draw, creamy mild and consistant to the end. Sadly though you will get one box consistantly great and the next box will be way too tight on the draw. For $69 a box its always a crap shoot.

Great cigar! Very smooth, yet flavorful. Definitely one of my top 5 faves.

HOUSTON—It's not hard to envision Alex Meyer blowing away big league hitters someday with his overpowering fastball and power breaking ball. There might not be a better example in the 2011 draft class of a huge-reward, high-risk talent than Kentucky's 6-foot-8 junior righthander. In that way, he's similar to former North Carolina State righthander Andrew Brackman, another very tall pitcher with sometimes-overwhelming stuff, and another Scott Boras Corp. advisee who required a significant financial investment from the club that drafted him. Meyer already turned down a reported $2 million out of high school from the Red Sox, and he doesn't figure to be an easy sign as a college junior, either.
But in front of a throng of scouting heavyweights Saturday at Minute Maid Park, Meyer showed enough tantalizing promise that some scouts were clamoring that he could very well go in the top 10 picks this June.
"Somebody's going to bite hard on Meyer," a National League scouting director said. "They'll see two potential 70 pitches (on the 20-80 scouting scale)—the fastball and the breaking ball. I see the breaking ball as more of a 60. I think he's a reliever (down the road)—he just won't throw enough strikes."
Meyer struck out six and walked three over 6 2/3 innings Saturday against Houston, allowing four earned runs on five hits. He had limited the Cougars to just one run until the seventh, when UK coach Gary Henderson said the game sped up on him a bit.
"It was the fourth time through the lineup, they'd seen some fastballs, they were on it," Meyer said of Houston's seventh, which turned into a six-run rally, propeling the Cougars to an 8-5 win. "I probably should have thrown some more offspeed. They ended up getting the barrel on some breaking balls too, but mostly fastballs."
Meyer's fastball was explosive for most of the game, ranging from 94-97 mph. He also mixed in two-seamer at 91-93 toward the end of his outing. He said he uses the two-seamer and an 84-86 changeup to give hitters a different look.
Meyer's breaking ball is hard, at 84-86 mph, but he said it's actually a knuckle curveball, not a slider. One National League crosschecker commented that it looked like Bert Blyleven's hammer curveball when he threw a good one, but at other times it was more sweepy.
"It depends if I stay on top of it—I try to stay on top of it to get more of a 12-6 action on it, but there are some I hook a little bit and get a slider action on," Meyer said. "It's something I have to get better and more consistent with. Someday I'm going to get it figured out and get a good one."
Henderson doesn't think that day is too far off.
"Where his secondary stuff was (Saturday) was noticeably below his skill level," Henderson said. "It wasn't as good as it was in Charleston (in Week One), but it was better than it was last week. But he's got legitimate front-line secondary stuff, and what we need to do is get it to show up on a regular basis in the game. When it does, his game's going to change, but he's clearly not there yet, in terms of repeating the delivery with those pitches and putting himself in position to really put guys away when he's got guys 1-2, 0-2. We've got way too many 0-1s turning into full counts, deep counts. Those are all things he can get better at, and all things he has gotten beter at. He's got a lot of growth in front of him; he's going to get better, and he can get better next weekend."
Repeating his delivery has always been a major key for Meyer, who grew up in Indiana and had far less innings under his belt than prospects from the Sun Belt. He said that his arm slot—which ranges from three-quarters to low three-quarters—is not as consistent as it's going to be, because he's still growing into his body, but that it's getting better.
"It's early effort, torso rotation, getting into the pitch too soon," Henderson said of Meyer's mechanical inconsistencies. "He hasn't invented anything—these are things that guys do all the time. They just seem to be a little more extreme with a guy who's 6-foot-8 with extremely long arms. But I'm not disappointed with his outing by any stretch—in no way am I disappointed. But he's going to keep gettiing better."

U.S. / Arusha, Tanzania
Fly independently to Arusha and overnight at the Dik Dik Hotel. (Meals Aloft)
Arusha / Tarangire National Park
Begin the first full morning of our Tanzania wildlife safari adventure with a drive to Tarangire, Tanzania's third largest national park, aboard our 4x4 Land Cruisers. Before checking into our comfortable accommodations at the Tarangire River Camp, we journey through the rolling countryside searching for Tarangire wildlife, including endangered black rhino, antelope, leopard, lion and cheetah. (B,L,D)
Tarangire National Park
Sunrise will just be sweeping across the savannah on our morning Tanzanian walking safari, where our naturalist travel guides will point out elephants and some of the park's 260 recorded bird species. Tarangire also hosts migrating herds of wildebeest, zebra and Grant's gazelle, which we'll look for during our escorted afternoon game drive. Spend tonight back at the Tarangire River Camp. (B,L,D)
Tarangire / Lake Manyara National Park / Karatu
Our Tanzania wildlife safari expedition itinerary takes us across the Great Rift Valley toward Lake Manyara National Park, famous for its herds of elephant and tree-climbing lions. Game drives here are an opportunity to see buffalo, baboon, waterbuck, flamingo and prides of lion. Continue into the highlands of Karatu to the Ngorongoro Farmhouse, an exclusive lodge facing Oldeani Volcano and situated on a coffee farm. (B,L,D)
Karatu / Lake Eyasi
Drive to the southern end of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area to Lake Eyasi, Tanzania's largest soda lake. This remote region is home to the Hadzape Bushmen, a traditional hunting tribe that speaks a "click" language. Spend the day visiting with the tribe after their daily hunt, learning about life in this seldom-visited area. Cap off our visit with a picnic lunch at the lake before returning to the Ngorongoro Farmhouse. (B,L,D)
Karatu / Ngorongoro Crater
After a sumptuous breakfast, set out for the Ngorongoro Crater Conservation Area, the world's largest unflooded caldera (collapsed cone of a volcano). Protected from the outside world by a huge rim, Ngorongoro Crater's abundance of food and fresh water supports more than 30,000 large mammals. We'll descend 2,000 feet into the crater for thrilling game drives among Africa's "Big Five" (lion, elephant, buffalo, rhino and leopard), but also search out the rare black rhino — this is your greatest chance to observe the East African black rhino in East Africa. Enjoy a picnic lunch on the crater floor, and continue our drive before checking into the Ngorongoro Sopa Lodge. (B,L,D)
Olduvai Gorge / Serengeti National Park
Head for the Serengeti, en route visiting Olduvai Gorge, where the earliest evidence of man was found by the Leakey family in the late 1950s. The Serengeti Plains are home to the greatest concentration of large mammals on Earth, and our frequent game drives are a chance to see immense herds. We spend the next three nights under canvas at our mobile tented camp, positioned to be as close to the animals as possible. (B,L,D)
Serengeti National Park
Our Tanzania wildlife safari tour itinerary includes daily game drives through the acacia savannahs and grasslands of the Serengeti National Park. These excursions offer opportunities to spot wildebeest, zebra, gazelle, topi, impala and hartebeest along with predators such as lion, leopard, cheetah, hyena and wild dog. Along the network of rivers and lakes, we may find hippos and crocodiles. You'll have ample opportunity in camp to learn more about our expert driver/guides and staff, personable locals who strive to bring this land to life during your African safari. (B,L,D Daily)
Serengeti / Arusha / En Route
After a final morning game drive (time permitting) of our Tanzania wildlife safari adventure, travel to the local airstrip and fly to Arusha. Explore Shanga, a workshop that makes beautiful handmade beads, paper, candles, soaps and home décor using recycled materials. Dayrooms are available at the Dik Dik Hotel before transferring to the airport for our flights home. Arrive in the U.S. on Day 12. (Day 11: B,L; Day 12: Meals Aloft)

Walther PPQ.
I love how it feels in my hands. I love the trigger. I love that it refuses to fail, at 4,000+ rounds and counting. I love the mag release. It's easy to be accurate with. Simply put, it's damn near perfect.

Don't have a picture, but my slightly customized Colt 1991A1 (ORM) has been reliable and accurate with anything I've put thru it. From 200 grain WC to 255 grain .45 Colt bullets to HP's.

Well, it kind of evolves.
Right now, it's a Ruger SR 22. It's been reliable. It's cheap to shoot. It's fairly accurate. It's light and easy to carry. I like shooting pop cans filled with water. Pine cones. Paper plates. Targets with numbers on them. I've taken it to the creek bottom looking for cottom mouths, but they were clearly so frightened of me with that pistol that they hid. Since it's been in the thirties the last few nights, snake season is probably over until next year. |

This one looked like too much fun NOT to post a reply.
I have a serious love / hate relationship with a high cap Makarov PM in .380. The thing is so accurate, I can't bring myself to trade or sell it. I shoot 25 yard groups as well with it as I do with my 1911, and it is not quite 2 inches shorter. It's not supposed to do that! I hate it though, because it will only run reliably when - well it never seems to. I love the triggers on my 1911's, but nothing feels as natural in my hand as my Hi Power (just an israeli clone - no $$ for the real thing - YET). If I have to pick a favorite, it would be the Hi-Power. |

My favorite is a .22 pistol- namely my 6.875" Ruger MKII Stainless Gov't Target Model.
Although I can afford to shoot whatever I want in the way of centerfire ammo, the accuracy and comfort (in terms of not being exhausted by recoil, loud muzzle blast, economical) afforded by that gun is what makes it my favorite. I can also use it for squirrel/rabbit hunting which makes it more of a sporting proposition than if I use the shotgun. |

This has already been covered, but I'll play anyway.
My CZ P01. By far. I really like my 97b as well but not quite as ergonomic. BTW I did some calculations, and the guy with all the 1911's has about $95,000 worth in that picture, if not more. Last edited by chris in va; October 29, 2012 at 12:06 PM. |

Getting Kids Outdoors on Nature's Journey |
In Alabama, we each have easy access to something wonderful: the peaceful beauty of the Sipsey River, the stunning Pinhoti Trail from Cheaha State Park and the rich wetlands along the Chattahoochee or the Coosa. Even in our urban areas, natural beauty is very close at hand. Think of the amazing Mobile-Tensaw Delta or Birmingham's Cahaba River and the city's mountain parks. Right now, in your own backyard, there is a patch of dirt or a flower pot simply waiting for one miraculous sunflower seed or the precious bounty of a "Tommy Toe" vine. And yet, we get distracted. Our greatest concern might be America's newest dancing star, next season's league champion or forwarding an email photo of a kitten. We reach for our remote controls and our smart phones. We Google. Hmm, maybe there's a news item on our youth and adult obesity epidemic or the financial and physical toll of diabetes. Did you realize, for example, that the medical costs of obesity and inactivity are $150 billion a year? So, what are you and I going to do about it? In Alabama 4-H, there is no issue more important than the health of our young people. We have brilliant programs employing technology and scientific-based research, and yet something which we in 4-H have found most rewarding is actually very simple: getting kids outdoors. In Alabama and in 4-H, we value tradition. Our human tradition, actually going back thousands of years, is to be outside hunting our next meal, turning over dirt to plant maize or wandering a pine thicket looking for a lost calf. That tradition kept us strong and lean, and it allowed us to relish the patterns of the stars and the changing of the seasons – our place in the cosmos. Now, over a decade or two, many of us have totally lost contact with nature. And scientific research shows that disconnection has had a physical and emotional impact. Young people who go outside to play don't get sick as often. They are not as stressed or as aggressive. They are more flexible and adaptable when faced by the challenges of life. Early exposure to nature (called "playing in the dirt") even boosts kids' immune systems.
Like the Chinese proverb suggests, the longest journey begins with the first step. That certainly holds true for lifelong health and fitness. It means putting the phone down on the counter, hiding the remote control and lacing on your walking shoes. Taking a child for a walk – and maybe learning the name of a new tree or a pretty bird – can be the start of a wonderful and amazing journey. Chuck Hill is a 4-H Youth Development Specialist. |

On Jan. 25 Yahoo News shares that Subway cooperation has apologized for the inch shortage on some of its sandwiches. Subway is the world's largest fast food franchise with each location being privately owned and operated withing Subway guidelines. The company fell under fire last week when a couple of New Jersey patrons took a photo of their sandwich next to a tape measure that only read 11 inches.
This afternoon Subway officials say they are doubling their efforts to ensure that each franchise is ensuring consistency and size for all sandwiches. The company did note last week while complaints and a lawsuit were being lodged that there are several factors that can change the size of the bread and the overall look to the sandwich. The most popular reason is that each sandwich is individually made to the customer's specifications.
In the statement issued today, Subway says that they regret any inconsistency that customers have found. Subway officials refused to comment on the pending lawsuit against the franchise for their inch sandwich shortage. It seems unlikely that any judge would award someone a settlement when all sandwiches are made to order, to a person's specifications.
What do you think of the Subway lawsuit and apology? Is one inch (of sandwich) really that big of a deal?

Special message from Minds In Motion Director, Cat Studdard:
Welcome to Richmond Ballet's Education Department! We strive to bring a professional experience of dance to communities across The Commonwealth. All of our education programs further Richmond Ballet's mission to "Awaken and Uplift the human spirit" and "build a more compassionate community."
Our Story Ballet's always feature a youth performance that includes an opportunity for our audiences to get a behind the scenes look at all the components that create a professional production. Audiences meet performers, see some of the technical aspects of the performance, and learn more about what goes into creating sets and costumes. This is the kind of education we bring to our youth performances before students sit back in the comfort of the Carpenter Theater at Richmond's Center Stage and enjoy a story told through the universal language of dance!
Bringing this same experience of enjoying and understanding a professional performance is the intention behind Richmond Ballet's lecture demonstrations. Lecture Demonstrations are performed in schools across Virginia and often in connection with a Tour Stop by the Ballet's Up and Coming professionals of RICHMOND BALLET II. Interwoven in the performance of an abridged story ballet are some of the most fascinating parts of professional dance and productions. Our Lecture Demonstrations bring students to their feet with plenty of audience participation. Bringing a Lecture Demonstration to your school brings Ballet to life for all of your students!
The cornerstone of Richmond Ballet's education department is Minds In Motion. Minds In Motion is an in-school program that gives students the opportunity to learn about dance and performance by working towards their own performance. Reaching dancers across the state, Minds In Motion's musicians and teaching artists bring unforgettable classes to students weekly for our year-long programs and daily for our residencies. The incremental process of working towards memorizing choreography, making a confident entrance or being able to convey emotion behind dance is crafted throughout the classes with patience and recognition. Students are guided by the musician and teaching artist that comes to their school towards the long-term goal of a performance. For our residency students they share their experience with their school and community at their school. The year-long programs finish with a collaborative, professionally produced performance that includes several schools from the area bringing 300-500 dancers together on stage at one time, joined by Richmond Ballet's professional company!
Each area of our Education Department enriches students and teachers alike with a professional caliber dance experience. No wonder so many of our students say, "I'll remember this day forever!"
See you at the theatre!

Don't got out on a SWAT maneuver without this and give the criminals an edge.
Crook: [during a diner robbery] What's you doing, you pighead sucka?
Harry Callahan: Every day for the past ten years, Loretta here's been giving me a large black coffee- except today she gives me a large black coffee and it has sugar in it. Alotta sugar. I just came back to complain.
Crook: Say what, sucka?
Harry Callahan: Well, we're not just gonna let you walk out of here.
Crook: Who's we sucka?
Harry Callahan: [slowly drawing his .44 Magnum] Smith and Wesson... and me.
I guess these serve as targets for the SWAT drills?
Interesting that they make the numbers so big you can barely fit them all on the dial as if the intention is to make it easier to read, then they ruin the effect by making the hands 50% the same color as the face and add red markings in in a linear shape with the second hand also red.
^ Low reflectivity, black, and the cloth band.
"Tactical" is used in the military/police sales business to entice "wannabes" to buy stuff that looks military, but often gets sold to dorks. If you wannabe....and can.....go to see your local military/police recruiter.....and then you will be offered the real stuff at PX prices....or possibly free.....but there are some risks.

Tactical watch, never saw one of those used in any form ever in thirty years.
Tactical watches make nice beater watches if priced low enough. They tend to have easy to read dials and comfortable cloth straps, though not only are they not flashy, some people at first glance might assume one is a $15 plastic casio or generic... not that there's anything wrong with a $15 plastic casio for a beater watch either... and the plastic strap on those won't be as hard to clean off if you're doing something dirty.
Emo nerds also like them because it matches their black attire without making them look like the prior punk generation who preferred shiny silver accents.
I'm still looking for a strategical watch.
