Lanphier, Southeast Students "Making the Grade"
Students at Lanphier and Southeast high schools got a chance to meet with mentors from around the community today.
The Making the Grade conference happened this morning at both high schools. It focuses on student achievement.
Each student gets to meet with community volunteers and school vendors one-on-one to talk about the student's goals, academic challenges, and plans to improve throughout the school year.
"If you have bad grades and you want to improve, this will help you improve a lot," Lanphier freshman Jurnee Holloway said. "You just have to understand what they're talking about, and you'll be on your way."
This is the third year Lanphier has offered this program, and the first year for Southeast. Officials there hope for similar positive results as Lanphier has seen.
More community volunteers are needed to mentor students. Click here for more information.

How Iran Got The Bomb
The Twisted Path to a Nuclear Weapon
by Jeremy Bernstein
The critical unknown in the Middle East equation is the likelihood of Iran developing a nuclear weapon. President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad continues to insist that Iran is pursuing only the peaceful uses of nuclear energy; other countries in the region, and the United States, are not so sure. The International Atomic Energy Agency's inspections of Iranian facilities have proved inconclusive, perhaps because Iran is concealing some research installations. But part of the problem lies in understanding what is needed to make a nuclear weapon and whether Iran has the necessary ingredients. In this acute analysis, written in clear language for the intelligent layperson, the physicist Jeremy Bernstein traces the circuitous route by which Iran secured the expertise it needed to develop a nuclear capability. He then assesses the current status of Iran's nuclear program and whether it appears to be aimed at peaceful use or weapons production. The time of decision, he concludes, is fast approaching.

At 72, the prince of R&B has reverted to childhood. Aaron Neville has a new album called My True Story, and it's a collection of the songs he sang growing up in the projects of New Orleans in the 1950s and '60s, back when doo-wop was king.
"I've been into every doo-wop there is," Neville says. "I think I went to the university of doo-wop-ology."
Neville got his education from groups like The Drifters, The Clovers and The Flamingos. They'd had such an influence on him that their sound has kept popping up throughout his more than 50 years in music — from his family group, The Neville Brothers, to his long solo career.
Here, Neville speaks with NPR's Renee Montagne about the ups and downs of his youth — which include an arrest for car theft and a marriage at 17 — and staying faithful to the songs that inspired him during that time.
Interview Highlights
On growing up in the projects
"The project was great. If we were poor, we didn't know it, 'cause I guess you don't miss what you never had. So, you know, we made do with whatever. We used to make our own toys, and we used to play with spinning tops and marbles. A pocket full of marbles and you were rich — you didn't worry about no money."
On singing with his brother
"My brother Art was a doo-wopper. He had a group that sat out on a park bench in New Orleans and sang harmonies at night, and they'd go around and win all the talent shows and get all the girls, you know. So I would run up and try to sing, and he'd run me away — 'Get away from me, kid' — until they figured I could hold a note, and they let me sing with them."
On bartering with his voice
"I used to always sing my way into the movies and the basketball games or whatever. I'd sing for whoever's on the door and they'd let me in. I used to think I was Nat King Coleback in the day, you know. So I'd sing something like, 'Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa, men have named you,' and they'd let me in."

Bought this to store bedding and throws. Initially pleased with it but it soon became obvious it was faulty. The middle hinge on the lid creaks and groans when opening and shutting and the lid does not close properly, leaving a gap. Can only fill blanket box halfway or hinge catches on bedding and lid won't close at all. Disappointed in this product
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

supermarket pricing
I went to Albertsons last night and the checkout lines were long so I went to the self checkout line. The computer tells you the price as you put it through the scanner, which is when I realized that everything ended in 9c. $1.99, 1.19, 2.49, 5.39, 2.79 etc etc.
Just don't understand how they can justify EVERYTHING ending in 9. Surely some items can end in a 7 or an 8 or even a 5. Price gouging or what?
re: enbell
yep, milk was 1.99 for the half and half, the meat was 3.99 a lb for ground, the eggs are 2.79 a dozen grain fed free range. Bananas 59c a lb. Too weird.
Always has been the case. Have you ever been to a restaurant? Most menu items end in .99. It's a psychological trick- when something is priced $2.99, you'll think "It's $2", but add a penny, and you add a mental dollar. The fact that you see such gradations indicates the lack of price gouging, imho.
re: caviar_and_chitlins
I understand it more so in a restaurant but a supermarket with thousands of items?
re: smartie
ever notice that in walmart most things end in a 7?
re: karmalaw
Many moons ago, when I worked in retail (not food-related), there was a pricing system whereby if a price ended in something other than a 9, it indicated a certain sale scheme (i.e., it was marked down for clearance or some other such category). I think that's kind of what Wal-Mart does - uses an ending number other than 9 to indicate sort of a special sale.
re: lisavf
yes, doesn't kohl's do that?
as for the "99" business, it is purely psychological, as caviar and chitlins says.
re: alkapal
Costco does that.
I believe (and correct me if I am wrong) but any item that ends in a "7" means that it is no longer being restocked.
There are sale items that do not end in a "9".
For example 2 for $5, or the "10 for $10" specials.
They taught us in Marketing 101 that customers don't usually notice the cents part (until you use self checkout! or maybe at BJs when it says the price out loud). Actually there was something about people psychologically liking round shaped numbers too, so you shouldn't use 1 or 7 or whatever, guess Walmart is using reverse psychology.
Article in Sunday's NY Times on the marketing psychology behind this practice.
re: Demented
what bugs me is that everything cannot end in 9c. They have a mark up in percentage terms based on cost and turnover so surely some things would end in other numbers. Seems to be they round everything up to 9c to make extra profit. This is not the same psychology as rounding down from .00.
re: smartie
only one question remains. Why do you care? I mean, its a business, in the business of selling goods and services at a price people are willing to pay. If for some reason you feel like you are getting an unfair price, god knows you have options. This is not even close to all of the psychological games that grocery stores(and all retail environments for that matter) play on you! store layout, end-isle displays, piping bakery scent into the entrance(my personal favorite manipulation!!), putting the dip right next to the chips(the highest profit margin dip, mind you), etc......
also, I would assume there are a more then a few items that get rounded down so that they can be priced at .99.
re: nkeane
I couldn't agree with you more. This is an odd thing to get worked up about. Retail stores, including groceries, set their prices more or less as high as they can and still sell the items. If they're not making money on it, they stop selling it at all.
There's not some Aristotelian objective price for each item in the world. So there isn't some total that your grocery cart would be which they're somehow making you pay more than.
re: smartie
Just out of curiosity, does your restaurant's menu have all items end in the same number?
Yeah, I've been at the store with people and when something is priced $3.99 I hear, "Oh, it's only three dollars!" Umm....
I guess a lot of people do get fooled. I think the .99 thing is very common in the US where sales tax is not included in the listed price. Doesn't bother me because I'm used to it, but I can see coming from a place where things are done differently it could be annoying. Except in the case of some promotional sales, products are always marked up above cost. It seems rational from a marketing standpoint that retailers would choose to settle on a number that generates more sales. I'm not worried that retailers are making "extra profit", because I imagine in many cases they actually round down to the 9 from whatever percentage markup they began with.
re: Agent Orange
Not to mention when something is priced, clearly and openly at, say, $1.25 each or 3 for $3.99 and the majority of buyers go for the $3.99 "bargain". I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it myself - again and again. Yikes...
All I care about is the bottom line or the exceptional deals (keeping dates/shelf life in mind). I either buy it at my price or it succumbs to shelf rot.
re: Cheese Boy
That's true, luckily I always have a calculator with me, and use it.
What gets me is buy one, get one free, and then in small print they say "Save $4.99/lb" when the price is usually $2.50 anyway (this is in the meat dept usually). But as long as you're aware, I don't have a problem with the store charging whatever they can get people to pay, it's not a non-profit institution is it?
re: coll
Coll, in regards to what you're saying about BOGO, yes, you *always* have to read the fine print. Always. And, never let your guard down.
There's a supermarket by me that has this deal with meats that turns out to be pretty good. The butcher there takes meats and packages it in packs in the $4.50 to $7.00 range. It's all in separate packs and exactly as you usually see it at the meat counter. [Chicken, pork, beef, no fish though]. You can pick *any* FIVE packs and pay just $19.99. Pick boneless pork chops, chicken cutlets, ground beef, beef cubes, chicken legs, chicken thighs, etc. Any FIVE for $19.99. They don't have this sale often, but it seems to be catching on because people do buy up a lot of meat this way. Those who pick out packs close to the $7 range really make out like a bandits.
re: Cheese Boy
I'd be right there behind you! That's my kind of sale.
re: Cheese Boy
Most of the stores I go to list the unit price under the 4/$18 scheme and the total amount saved per item since you don't actually have to buy 4 to get the deal.
re: Cheese Boy
>>""...some stores now market products 3 for $5. It's like a pop math quiz while you shop. Can't wait till we get 4/$18 and 3/$8 brainteasers too.""
Geez, where have you been? Is the 1960's or 1970's pricing schemes- considered new today?
re: RShea78
Some of us aren't that old bro.
re: RShea78
i've always seen that pricing technique; it gets you to buy the "suggested" number.
re: Cheese Boy
That's so true about having to use your math skills. When my daughters were young and groaning about math, saying they would never use any of these skills when they grew up, I told them "Just wait until you have to do the grocery shopping!" Now that they are grown women they understand.
re: mordacity
That'd be, in my experience, all of them.
re: RShea78
That's generally the case at many "ethnic" stores. T&T and Nasr have always done this across the board. For example, T&T has recently priced organic grape tomatoes at 2 for $1.99 or 1 for $1.49.
I suspect it won't be long before the mainstream chains do this also. I've seen this practice recently at Metro,
re: RShea78
I've rarely seen this at our local supermarkets. If they have something marked 10 for $10 you can always buy 1 for $1. And they never object to me pulling just the amount of asparagus I want out of those rubber-band-wrapped bundles. In clothing stores it's another matter - 2 for $20 may mean 1 for $15.
re: cstr
cstr, as i'm sure you know, fuel prices are not the only component of prices with inherent variability. while fuel may've gone down, businesses that suffered losses during the huge jumps in fuel costs are understandably recouping those losses, and thus they haven't reduced their prices to transport goods, inputs, etc. plus business is slower now, due to the economy, and with reduced demand, a business might be reluctant to cut prices in an effort to make ends meet (a bit of irony, but owners have to think of staying afloat / meeting payroll / not laying off employees through the slow periods so as to emerge on the "other side" of the economic slowdown). thus, the downward "stickiness" of prices is well-recognized in economics. furthermore, other manufacturers' costs have continued to increase, namely commodities prices, taxes, regulatory compliance expenses, employee health insurance coverage.....
This isn't just groceries and stuff at discount stores.
Check out the ads for high priced real estate.
An estate priced at $2,999,500. Why not just say $3 million? Like that $500 makes a difference? It actually does in some folks' minds....
Also works on the opposite of that $.99 line, usually if any item crests the $1.00 line the retailer will not go to $1.09...it will usually go up to $1.19.
Buying trends, analysis, and history says if you're gonna go up to $4.09 might as well
go to $4.19.
Next time see how many items have an . $09 ending!!!!
Many "warehouse" "low end providers" try to create a low cost image by using $.03's and $ .08's
Just the 9 cent thing? How about the "instanty no clip coupon" thing? Carry another plastic card and your price goes down.
Then there's the double coupon scam when it can't be doubled if the manufacturer prints "Do Not Double" on it. You want to bet the store itself isn't the one paying for the doublings?
Now I'm seeing the "Buy $20 of this manufacturer's products and get a coupon for $5 off your next purchase" deals.
Well, last week the local supermarket zapped themselves when I combined them all: The ice cream rang up for $5.39, the instant coupon got it down to $1.99, the coupons I turned in got it down to $0.99, and since I took four, the original price broke $20 so I walked out of the store with four ice creams and a coupon for $5 on any future purchase and spent $3.96. Somebody was paying me a buck to take home ice cream!
And I really didn't care that the price ended in 9.
re: therealdoctorlew
I did almost the same thing with Coca-Cola products just before the Superbowl!. Local safeways were having a 4for$7.98 sale on 12-packs. I found an online coupon for $1 off 1 12-pack and in the instore circular had a 4 coupon doublers in the back of each one. Now it took several trips and some coupon clipping of the instore circular, but I basicly bought a years supply of Coke for nothing! I have a hall closet that now is refered to as "the Coke vault".

November 26, 2014
NEW YORK (AP) - A 1-year-old boy has died after being shot in the head in New York City.
Police say Antiq Hennis was being pushed in a stroller by his mother and father while crossing a street in the Brownsville neighborhood of Brooklyn about 7:20 p.m. Sunday when the shooting occurred. They say multiple shots were fired.
Authorities say the child was rushed to Brookdale University Hospital with a gunshot wound to the left side of his face but did not survive his injuries. He was declared dead at the hospital.
Police have not made any arrests and haven't released any other preliminary details from their investigation.
The boy's family could not immediately be reached.

January 24, 2006
Tuesday was a big day for local tennis players.
This after the Boar's Head Inn put the final touches on its sports club expansion project.
The state of the art facility houses three new exercise studios as well as indoor and outdoor tennis courts.
It's also home to UVa's men and women tennis teams and is expected to help both teams take it to the next level.
"Of course it helps on the match days, you're going to have a lot of fans here and it will be really nice and comfortable for them, but day to day training to have this facility is priceless, it means everything," said UVa Women's Tennis Coach Mark Guilbeau.
The sports club is open 6 a.m. to 10 p.m during the week and 6:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. on the weekends.

The 5th Annual Weyburn Campaign to End Duchenne will take place on Saturday, May 3 at Assiniboia Park Elementary School.
Registration takes place at 9 a.m. and the walk starts at 9:30 a.m. Pledge forms can be picked up at SheriLou's Alterations behind Mel's On Third or you can make online pledges at www.jessesjourney.com.
Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy is a progressive muscular disorder. Those affected are usually wheelchair bound by the age of 12 and rarely live past their twenties. All donations go to Jesse's Journey, a registered Canadian charity that funds research for this condition.
Over the past four years Jesse's Journey has raised over $65,000 and are hoping to hit $80,000 if not higher this year as it is the final year. The success of this event would not have been possible without the generous and supportive people in and around Weyburn.
Participants should register by April 26, 2014. Any questions can be directed to ma...@thekerrs.ca or by calling 306-842-0849.

AP Basketball Writer
MIAMI (AP) -- They had the lead in the third quarter, a chance to head back to Indiana needing just one win to reach the NBA Finals, and seemed poised to put the Miami Heat in a whole lot of trouble.
And then, it all went awry for the Pacers.
LeBron James and Udonis Haslem saw to that.
The Pacers are heading home, and instead of preparing for a possible coronation, it's elimination that they'll now try to stave off. A third quarter for the ages by the four-time MVP turned the game, with James scoring 16 of his 30 points in the period and the Heat beat the Pacers 90-79 in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals on Thursday night.
The Heat lead the series 3-2 going into Game 6 at Indiana on Saturday, win-or-else time for the Pacers.
"We've got to bring our energy," Pacers forward David West said. "Got to protect home court."
Or else.
James added eight rebounds and six assists, and Haslem made his last eight shots on the way to a 16-point night. Mario Chalmers scored 12 and Dwyane Wade added 10 for the Heat, who ousted the Pacers in six games in a second-round matchup last season and will look to do the same this time around, albeit one round deeper.
Paul George had 27 points and 11 rebounds for the Pacers, who got 22 points from Roy Hibbert and 17 from West. The Pacers led by seven at one point, but had no answer for the Heat in the third and now have to win back-to-back games -- against a team that hasn't lost consecutive games since early January.
"Our backs are up against the wall again," Pacers coach Frank Vogel said. "Theirs were, they came back and responded, took care of business on their home court like they were supposed to. And it's up to us now to come back and get Game 6, see what happens in a Game 7."
Indiana was up 46-40 early in the third, surely sensing a chance to grab total control of the series. Over the next 11 minutes, the Heat outscored the Pacers 30-10, with James either scoring or accounting for 25 Miami points. He shot 7 for 10 in the third quarter; the Pacers shot 3 for 14. He had four rebounds in the quarter; the Pacers, as a team, grabbed six. He had four assists in the quarter; the Pacers had one.
"That's LeBron showing his greatness and making it look easy," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. "What we talked about was doing whatever it takes and competing for each other without leaving anything out there. His engine in that third quarter was incredible. He was tireless, he was making plays on both ends of the court, rebounding, covering so much ground defensively and then making virtually every play for us offensively. It's really remarkable."
Haslem said Juwan Howard threw a few things in the locker room and had a few choice words for teammates at halftime -- "a lot of bleeps and stuff like that," Haslem said -- and that James echoed the same remarks just before the start of the third.
"We had 24 minutes to play for our livelihoods," Haslem said. "And that's how we played in the second half."
Haslem's first shot of the night was a complete brick, bouncing off the top of the backboard. He was perfect the rest of the way, including going 5 for 5 in the third.
For the second time in the series, Haslem -- who has struggled with his shot for the better part of two years -- finished 8 for 9.
"That burned us," Vogel said.
Haslem got past Hibbert easily and into the lane for a dunk that put Miami up 47-46, the first Heat lead since 4-2. The Pacers were back on top by a point with 6:58 left in the third when fighting words reappeared, on a play where George Hill was called for an offensive foul after getting caught pushing off on a drive. West angrily approached Chalmers after the play and both of those players, along with Haslem, got technicals when it was all said and done.
It clearly fired up Miami.
James and Haslem combined to score 18 of their team's 21 points in the final 6:04 of the third. Everything came on jump shots, including a 3-pointer from Chalmers, three jumpers averaging 20 feet from Haslem, and five more from James, including a 3-pointer with 16 seconds left in the quarter that put Miami up 70-56 and had him yelling at no one in particular as the arena roared.

The Dove Real Beauty ad campaign [above] has gone viral on YouTube with over 30 million hits. In case this is the first you've heard of it, the short film sees women being drawn by Gil Zamora, an FBI-trained forensic artist, who sketches them based on their own description of themselves, and then draws another based on an outline given by a person they've just met. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the second picture is notably more flattering.
In this week's issue of Grazia, we talk about the film which Dove commissioned on the back of claims that just 1% of women in the world would call themselves beautiful. That's something Florence McLaughlin who stars in the advert understands.
'I wouldn't go around saying, "I'm beautiful,"' she tells us. 'I carry around anxieties of how I look. And as a woman, we don't want other women to think we are bragging or have a big ego.' In fact, she told the artist she had 'wrinkles' and a 'narrow face'.
When Florence saw both drawings, she was alarmed by how much she'd undersold herself. 'That woman looked so angry and scary. It was very troubling. I went home and cried.'
Are women too self-critical? Let us know your verdict by commenting below or tweeting us @Grazia_Live

Hip Hop Talent Agent Arrested, Charged With Operating Drug Ring
A well-known hip hop talent agent who has managed the likes of rappers Wyclef Jean and Akon, has been arrested and charged with running a cocaine trafficking ring that spanned both the East and West coast.
According to police, DEA agents apprehended James "Jimmy Henchman" Rosemond Tuesday as he was walking out of the W Hotel in Union Square. After spotting officers, Rosemond made a run for it but was later captured a few blocks away on 21st Street and Park Ave.
Rosemond has been a wanted fugitive since May when he was accused of drug trafficking by the Drug Enforcement Administration, officials said.
Rosemond, 46, is the owner of Czar Entertainment and has managed talent such as Brandy and Akon.
The US Attorney's Office in Brooklyn has charged the mogul with planning the delivery of drugs from Los Angeles to New York City. The delivery is believed to have been hundreds of kilos of cocaine that were sometimes covered in mustard to ward off drug-sniffing dogs.
The DEA investigation also had the help of two informants who were high-ranking members of James Rosemond's organization.
The feds say that the drug-trafficking ring originally used commercial shipping companies to send the drugs and then expanded to more elaborate methods. Sometimes the drugs were even hidden inside music equipment containers. Feds found one such music case last winter containing almost $800,000 in a New York City recording studio.
Rosemond used his Czar Entertainment business as a cover for the drug-trafficking ring in order to ship drugs and money from coast to coast.
While on the lam, Rosemond stopped using his cell phone and began using pay phones for communication. He also had encrypted e-mail systems to send messages on a BlackBerry.
Rosemond's arrest comes just a week after Dexter Issac, who is serving life in prison for a different crime in the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, claimed to have been commissioned by Rosemond to shoot Tupac Shakur in 1994. "I want to apologize to his family [Tupac Shakur] and for the mistake I did for that sucker [Jimmy Henchman]," said Isaac.
Isaac, 46, claims that Rosemond paid him $2,500 for the near-fatal attack on Tupac. Tupac later died in another shooting in Las Vegas in 1996, which sky-rocketing the East-West hip-hop war. The war hit its breaking point in 1997 when Christopher Wallace, The Notorious B.I.G. was shot dead in Los Angeles. Both murders are still unsolved.Copyright © 2014, Sun Sentinel

He then penned an Op-Ed for The Huffington Post in which he explained his stance in more detail and told critics to calm down.

gift for a chef to be?
- shana Sep 18, 2006 02:59 PM
hi there - I'm geting married in 2 weeks and one of my best friends is being our unofficial wedding planner - he's going to the venue between the ceremony and reception to over see the caters and set up and most likely will have to deal with any emergencies.
He's just started chef training part time - while he keeps his office job for the time being - and he is such a foodie. I wanted to get him something he can use in his training or at home while he practises his new skills. Trouble is he has so much already and loves gadgets.
Is there anything you hounds can recommmend that has changed the way you work in the kitchen or that are perhaps a little more expensive and therefore it might be something he'd hesitate to buy for himself?
was thinking maybe a small le cresuet pot? or something else indulgent?
re: Karl Gerstenberger
thanks for the tip - he has a marble one already but I did see a very beautiful one made of olive wood. Other than it being so beautiful is there a specific use for each kind of mortar and pestle? I'm thinking you couldn't do peppercorns or anything too hard in a wood one? Thoughts? Suggestions?
kitchen aid mixer (depending on how much you want to spend), slap of marble for rolling dough, chocolate, etc., or you could get a bunch of different things - microplane, french rolling pin, silpat
Some nice sea salts would be a good gift, or something that he could use with all of his gadgets while he's cooking. You could buy a few of those salt boxes, and fill each with an exotic salt. (We were just in Vancouver and there's a company that sells food products, including specialty salts... I bought my mom a Fig and Basil salt and my MIL a Cayenne and Chocolate sea salt.) Here's an example of a salt box: http://www.crateandbarrel.com/family.... I saw a gorgeous olive wood one in Williams Sonoma, but it was pretty pricey.
How about a personalized/monogramed chef's jacket and a pair of clogs in his size?
Maybe a roll bag to carry his knives or a tool box to carry all his chef's tools?
As far as equipment, people tend to be very picky about these things. Perhaps a nice gift certificate so he can choose his own?
re: Pupster
Chef's coats and aprons from Bragard are excellent. http://www.bragardusa.com/
re: Karl Gerstenberger
Chefs coat is a great idea---also how about a mandoline, a great knife,saute pan, or braising casserole. Also great spices from Penzi's.
How about a Global knife a 10' chefs knife will last years and they will think of you everytime they use it.
re: Winemark
One word about knives--I have been given gifts of many a chef's knife and while the gift is well intentioned and generous I only ever used one that was given as a gift==the one I specifically wanted. Buying a knife is like buying a pair of shoes--I'd never do it unless I got to try it on. Has to do with how it fits in your hand, works as an extention of your arm, etc. If you do choose to buy a chef's knife as a present, be sure to get a gift receipt and be prepared to not be offended if it is returned or exchanged.
re: Non Cognomina
yeah knives are like buying a neck tie for someone else. very personal, too personal really.
re: Winemark
is it true that giving knives as a gift is bad luck?
re: floydramp
In some cultures, yes.
re: Non Cognomina
Never give a knife as a wedding gift in Germany - it represents a "cutting" of the marriage - so I am told (by Germans).
re: floydramp
Italians believe this. If you ever receive a knife as a gift, be sure to give the knife giver some money for it to ward off the bad luck.
re: floydramp
Because I AM the chef, It has fallen to me to buy knives for many of my friends when they get married- I battle the kinfe stigma by giving them a penny with each knife- this superstition is new to me, but something about the money/copper to re-imburse the coming bloodshed...
When I graduated cooking school, my friends and family got me nothing... sigh. BUt my folks did help me buy my equipment and sponsored many of my experiments- they benefited from those, too. What I wanted most of all, though was to eat at the kind of restaurant no cook can ever afford to go to on their own.
While I was in school, My grandmother paid for me to get my knives engraved- it was an extremely practical and beautiful gift and I thank her everytime I pick up my knives.
re: lunchbox
where did you get your knives engraved? i really want to do that.
re: asm305
I was in Highland Park, IL at the time... just about any jewler can do it... if their engraver is large enough and powerful enough.
To my continuing chagrin, my initials are upside down on my 10" chef's knife because it was too big to fit fully into their machine.
I was gonna say a really GOOD chef's knife OR a knife jacket to carry his gadgets around in (to and from classes and to job "interviews" afterwards). But those tricky, tricky CHders beat me to it.
I wouldn't bother with "useless" gadgets like tomato peelers and apple corers, or (heavens forbid) a garlic press, as a REAL chef would never use those.
While cooking this past weekend I was thinking about tools I use all the time which no-one ever suggests as a gift - a kitchen scale and a good thermometer. My scale is digital, measures imperial and metric units and is small enough to tuck away under a cupboard. I use it constantly to get accurate measurements.
The thermometer is a probe type. I'm on my second unit, the first being a dud. I was very pleased that this one, a Taylor, gave me a fairly accurate reading of a chicken I was roasting as well as the temperature of a syrup I was cooking for a batch of pickles. It also reads the air temperature correctly. I use thermometers regularly to tell me when meats are cooked, preserves at the correct setting point, custards cooked through, bread baked etc. It's a great tool for any cook.
I agree with others, a chefs knife, or any other knife is a purchase each cook should make on their own.
Like most things these days a gift certificate to a cooks store, or someplace that sells quality knives would be the best choice, that way this cook/chef can buy what they want, and dont get something they might already have, or have no use for.
a huge box of band-aids and a jar of burn cream. kidding.
i never used tons of gadgets when i cooked in a restaurant. imo, it is much more efficient to be streamlined. the only things i always had in my kit aside from knives and steel were: microplane, oyster knife, fish spatula, offset spatula, bench scraper, vegetable peeler, benriner cutter, sharpening stones.
a really nice fish spatula with a thin, beveled edge is a great tool b/c it makes it much easier to get the fish out of the saute pan w/o ripping the skin. if you rip the skin, you get yelled at. i think i have a wusthof, which has lasted a long time.
if he doesn't already have them, a pair of japanese whetstones is essential for keeping the knives sharp. one medium and one fine. they are $$, but last forever.
the other thing you could get him which is a little more personal is a very nice sauce spoon (maybe monogrammed?) for saucing plates.
re: souschef
Ohh, I like the idea of a subscription. I have a few subscriptions that were given to me as gifts by family members and it's one of my favorite things. Make sure you don't get one to a mag he already gets, though.
How about a cook book he does not have. That way you can write something nice in the book, and it will be a nice keepsake.
I find so many choices about what I use in the kitchen to be very personal - I'm looking for some particular thing. Even down to a spatula or carrot peeler. At the top of that list are knives and cookbooks. I don't think I've ever really used a cookbook bought for me by someone else - but I have returned a lot and bought something else I do want (lesson: don't forget the gift receipt.)
I like the Le Creuset idea - but the one I would recommend is the 5 qt oval which retails over $200 probably. I use it constantly for braises, stews, chili, tomato sauces, etc. Perfect size and shape when cooking for friends. I'm personally not a fan of the smaller tomoato/pumpkin shaped ones. I think they're kind of silly.
One very useful thing that always seems to cost more than it should is a good, stainless steel Mandoline. Basically a professional slicer. A good one costs $150 or so. Kind of a hassle to put together and clean if you're just cooking for a few, but REAL handy if you need to cook for a crowd. Or make really good chips or fries, or if you need to make very exact slices/julienne/etc.
You could go with an All-Clad Saute or non-stick fry pan. I can never use enough of those. All-Clad really is the best, and there are so many less expensive options, people often skimp and get something lower end.
At any rate, I'm always a fan of the gift receipt - just in case.
Inexpensive: an Emile Henri salt pig. Cute for the home kitchen.
Expensive: a Bron mandoline. Essential for the professional chef.
How about a pair of fine Japanese herb scissors? I love mine!
As already noted knives can be a risky proposition. However, a standard 10-inch sushi knife from a high quality producer would make other chefs envious and will last a lifetime. Check out
This one comes with a blade cover and can be customized with the recipients initials.
re: TexasToast
They are supposed to then give the coin back to you as token "payment" for the knife.
From least expensive to most expensive, all of which I am willing to bet he does not yet have, and all of them being "indulgent" for their price range:
A subscription to Gastronomica, a jounal on food and culture ($47/year, 4 issues per year - http://www.gastronomica.org ) - This would be particularly synergistic if he is the type that also loves literature and the arts, or has a touch of the "food philosopher" in him. I find their own description to be the best: "Since 2001 we've been renewing the connection between sensual and intellectual nourishment by offering readers a taste of passionate inquiry through scholarship, humor, fiction, poetry, and exciting visual imagery".
A grain/flour mill, either of stone or metal (plate mill), either manual or electric ($80-$400) - a manual mill if he's a romantic or uses time at home to go "back to basics", or an electric one if not. Particularly good for the Italian food fan, some can grind coarsely enough for polenta, but all should be able to grind fine enough for pasta. In Japan there's a saying that when buckwheat is ground to make soba, it "catches a cold" soon after it is milled; I believe the Italians have the same concept.
A copy of "elBulli", Adria Ferran's annually-published cookbook ($200 to $400) - from the chief "gastronaut" of the molecular gastronomy movement comes a wellspring of ideas on where food might be taking us, this is sure to be a book that is missing from his shelf. This is where food meets art and science, a foray into new and uncharted frontiers. Note: as it's printed in several language editions, make sure you get the appropriate one!
re: cgfan
Yes! The El Bulli cookbook! Every serious aspiring chef should be drooling for the set.
The 2003-2004 is about to come out. Getting all four would be generosity beyond compare.
All these suggestions are great. I'd also check to see if the school he goes to has a student supply and/or bookstore, if so they may have lists of required items the student should have or they may even have gift cards or certificates that he can use to apply to his future purchases.
I think the le cruset is an awesome idea...or how about a beautiful john boos cutting board. i really want one but i'm waiting to get it as a culinary school graduation present....

Ong Kian Ming.
PETALING JAYA: The high costs of living due to the increase in electricity and fuel prices as well as impending toll hikes will give the Opposition ample opportunities to ramp up pressure on the Government, said Serdang MP Ong Kian Ming.
"The Opposition is expected to organise demonstrations against price hikes and the Pakatan Rakyat scheduled gathering on May 1 would make a good signpost of things to come," the DAP representative said.
Describing 2014 as a "politically-challenging year", the first-term MP said Barisan Nasional and Pakatan would continue to be adversaries given the high stakes ahead of the 14th general election.
"The closer balance of power post-GE13 means that Pakatan has more authority to challenge Barisan as well has having more representatives in Parliament compared to the previous election," he said.
"One of the biggest concerns among the Opposition would be the re-delineation exercise that requires a two-thirds majority in Parliament - if the seats are to be increased," Ong said.
"With Pakatan having a say in the matter, look out for many battles to be fought over this issue at state and national levels," he said.
"One cannot discount the possibility of a fourth Bersih gathering if the delimitation exercise is seen as being unfair," he said.
Ong said the "Allah" issue would remain salient, at least for the first half of the year.
"If the Federal Court overturns the judgment of the Court of Appeal, then this issue will continue to be relevant.
"The impact on Sabah and Sarawak will be something to watch out for especially with the Sarawak state election due by 2016," he added.
