I just bought a set of Henckel steak knives at TheSourceCC last week when they were on clearance, I see they don't have them up on the site anymore, it was a great deal, $20 for a set of 4

The knives are probably crap, but the block is interesting: http://www.iwantoneofthose.com/knife-block/index.html

its not on an individual basis, but some of our group mark is based on how well our group does, this class is based on learning and developing selling skills, and we also do role plays in class that with certain constraints and we would enact selling situations, its kinda fun actually, and we also have to write up a report (after we do our selling role play in which we are the seller) and graded on that as well.

Knives: We have a Mac sushi knife we like very much http://www.macknife.ca/mainpage.html

Girlfriend: Sounds like you have to pony up for a Banff Springs spa weekend. Might work out well for both of you. If you really need to impress then buy helicopter rides from Canmore. Nothing she'd ever expect and something she'll remember. http://www.alpinehelicopter.com/

I am looking to get a satellite radio receiver and a few months of subscription costs for my parents as they commute everyday, but I am not sure where the whole XM/Sirius battle sits right now. Anyone care to get me up to speed with some advice?

I thougth that Locke was referring to that line in the 10'th post of this thread. At least i thougth so and laughed to the joke untold. Locke, if that wasn't the case, i want 2 minutes of my life back. (1 min. thinking what could it be and 1 min. laughing).

And about Knives, I was thinking buying a Victorinox knive for christmas present (No fancy sets, someone are poor). I think it is the ideal choise, since Macgyver relies on that brand so why shouldn't I. The only thing is, should I buy A Japanese style knife or traditional?

Guys and gals, need to know basis and I definitely don't know anything about it: what store(s) would you recommend for purchasing women's clothing that would be considered a fancy type of store. Nothing too high class but something really nice. Just looking to get a gift certificate.

This Auntie has promised her beautiful, wonderous, amazing nephew a Transformer Optimus Prime - the really big one. Yeah, the one that you can't find anywhere except Ebay where a $40 toy is going for twice the price plus shipping. My stupid, stupid mouth.

Victorinox is what I ended up going with. The same company that makes Swiss Army knives. Excellent quality at a reasonable price, IMHO. I got a traditional set plus a big-ass Chinese cleaver!

McGyver uses Victorinox?

Good gift for Saskatchewan family/friends - a share in the Roughriders. Big buck, but a great keepsake

According to my friend who is an executive chef, the more Henckel men the better IIRC.

The single guy knives are stamped (not forged) in China...

Ok here is a good one for you guys, every year my family draws names out of a hat for one present we buy for one person (pretty big family so buying presents for everyone gets you broke fast), I picked my uncle who is a HUGE B.C. Lions fan (in SK), Rangers and Browns fan.

Obviously I will be wrapping his present in a Riders flag, but what else could I get him as a cheap gag prize on top of the regular prize to rub in the loss, and also state how much I hate his team? I was thinking of a Rangers poster and sticking a flames sticker over the Rangers part, or like Jagr's face..

Help me out here I want this to be good

(Just to add, when SK beat Calgary all he said was Bring it on, you guys won't last one quarter against us. Probably about 4 or 5 times... he talked trash all off season and all season, so this really needs to be rubbed in good )

This must be something new. My son's girlfriend ordered him this for his birthday in July and it was shipped to her with no problems?
