Cox has the worst service
Posted by Lil_angel_one on 06/18/2010
Cox has the worst service - Don't use them! They overcharge, charge you for services you didn't ask for- I have stuff on my bill every month that I never asked for. Also, their customer service agents are rude. My service is always slow or has something wrong with it. I am definitely unsatisfied with Cox and am getting different service (internet, phone and cable)!

ZPDI false charges on my Cox telephone bill
Posted by DonZ on 10/24/2007
PHOENX, ARIZONA -- My Oct./2007 Cox Communications/Telephone bill listed ZPDI toll charges. $50+ dollars total. The number I was supposed to have called was a LOCAL number for me. I called ZPDI (Google them for many ripoff reports) and they told me they had NO record of my number or the called number.
I then called Cox and they said there was nothing they could do as the charges came from ZPDI and I should contact them. I called ZPDI again and they said it was a problem with Cox and not them. I called Cox again and told them since I spent $160 a month with them (ISP, TV, Telephone) they should reverse the ZPDI charges. They refused to do so and told me I needed to contact ZPDI to straighten it out and HAD to pay the full amount of my bill. I asked to speak to a supervisor and got nowhere. I then asked to speak to the supervisor of the supervisor and told him I was a good customer and Cox should reverse the charges. This last person said they would issue a "form" to ZPDI and ask about the charges. I asked why Cox didn't just do that in the first place and save me hours of aggravation, he didn't answer me.
He said Cox would not reverse the ZPDI charges but since my bill wasn't due for three weeks the problem should be corrected before I paid.
I called Cox two days before my bill was due and they said they had received word that there was some kind of computer glitch and hundreds of people receive false ZPDI charges so I would receive a reversal of the $50+ false telephone toll charges. I assumed the matter was closed so paid my normal amount of $160. Several days later I receive a call from Cox telling me I was late and to immediately pay the balance. I asked what happened to the ZPDI charges and they said it might take a couple of months for a credit to show up on my bill. If I didn't pay the false charges then my telephone service would be cutoff.
I paid so now we will see if the credit shows up in the next two months.
Cox says, They are "Your friend in the digital age." What a joke!!!

I have Cox and have never had a problem with them. Hope it all works out for you OK. Were lucky we have Cox, it could be worse if we had to use Charter and others.

I'm a telecom billing analyst and it's clear to me that you were "slammed" by this company, so it's really not a COX issue and they shouldn't cut off your service for non-payment of the third party charges. If you Google ZPDI and look under their FAQ you'll get a better picture of what they are all about. Is a nutshell, they're scum.
Posted by FoggyOne on 2007-10-24:
I have Verizon and got charges from Dish Network which I've never had nor do have. At least they let me pay my Verizon bill and they backed out the Dish charges. It took 3 months to correct but I never had to pay the full bogus amount and Verizon did not tell me to call Dish Network to settle it. Good luck, I'd keep calling frequently to see what the status is.
Posted by GloriaYouth on 2008-07-26:
ZPDI reports their charges to your bill to COX. That's why they cannot reverse those charges, silly.

I hate Cox I would never recommend them EVER they screwed me out of more money than any one else I know. Second when i discontinued my services I had a remaining credit which they were supposed to mail me. Wel I never got it and then they said it had been cashed and they cant check to see who cashed it. Because I know for sure I didnt.
Scum bags.

Don't Buy Cox Digital Phone Service
Posted by Digitalphoneisawful on 08/30/2007
Just wanted to inform as many people as possible as to some of the problems that cox communication does not disclose to you when selling you digital phone service. 1. Originally I paid to have one digital phone line installed and paid additional monies for this service "distinct ring/tone fax" ...A service they continued to charge me for... Although I informed them I did not work and it never did... There answer was to blame hp for its distinct ring software etc....The typical pass the buck once you are on the hook for the service. 2. Since I could not receive faxes I was forced to pay for what I thought was a dedicated second line and also pay to install a second rj-11 outlet, despite paying for a second line cox communication really only ran it off one line (i am not a computer expert but I assume it must be to save bandwidth and be lazy about running a true second line, even though the modem is set up for a second line 3.
Unfortunately I value safety and I wanted to have home security installed and now found out that cox communication will just run it all to the modem through one line although the modem can handle 1/2 or 2 lines separate. When I complained that had cox communication run the second line as the modem is also set up to do, I was met with nothing but resistance, I told that nothing was wrong with their service, and I would likely have to pay for a service tech to come out. Read this!!!
Most importantly.....I would gladly opt to discontinue my service with Cox Communications... But I was also informed that I would not be able "port" or keep either my phone number or my fax number if I switch to analog phone service, so if you are running a home business or would like to keep your number I would suggest getting phone service elsewhere or you will be trapped like me!!!!

Need a list of uper management at Cox?
Posted by dmoore111 on 2008-01-21:
Something else they don't tell you about the digital phones. The cheap, $19.99 cordless phones (I had a Uniden) do not work with their digital service. On their behalf, when I complained to the lady that sold me the 'bundle' package, including digital phone service, she gave me a $50 credit towards the new phone I had to buy. The new phone was $69.. but that's my fault because i could have Ebay'd the phone for cheaper, I'm sure.. But since I was standing in Circuit City and the required 56mg phone required to run on their digital service was $69, I went ahead and bought it. But, I spent 12 days with no ability to call out on my old phone... because they never informed me that the cheapy phones don't work (In fact, they assured me ALL phones worked, when I signed up). But, again, they did make good on the deal.

Love their digital phone. I only have to pay one franchise fee, not two anymore. Awesome.
Posted by Brian on 2012-06-14:
I have used COX digital phone service for years. I too have a requirement to fax AND I have to use a modem to dial up connect to remote equipement. It has been flawless. Up until a few months ago. Now it is totally useless. I have complained had service techs out and every time they tell me it is find. It is not fine. It is broken. The his a pattern for cox. I had the same problem with the internet a year ago. It sucked with retry after retry. Funny thing was it sucked between 11pm and 6am and then like magic it would work perfectly all day. For a month no one could find a problem. Turns out they where working on a network upgrade and re-routed sevice at night.
Find another supplier. COX is expensive and they stink.

DON'T DO IT! It took them a year and 1/2 to solve an ongoing problem with my digital business lines, phone not ringing, voicemails missing, the list goes on and on and what a slap in the face when I asked about a credit for the lack of service (literally) they said all they could do was issue a $25 credit. I am done with this company. All it was an outside line from the phone line to the house needed to be replaced as the technician stated there was no way my system was working properly. I spent 3 days the last time on the phone with numerous different techs no one knew what the prior tech was doing! I would seriously advise staying away from this company.
Posted by Sherryl on 2013-11-01:
I have had Cox phone service for less than a month and already it is not working properly. The internet is fine. The phone is not and yet they come from the same modem. Had several techs reset the modem and of course it did not solve the problem I will never use this service for a phone again. NEVER. And if anyone is reading this be smart and do not set up your phone line with COX...They truly suck.

Digital Phone Service Complaint
Posted by Chris85713 on 11/20/2013
TUCSON, ARIZONA -- Signed up for a bundle with Cox to do Internet, TV and Phone.
TV is just so-so, the internet service is great, but I'm dropping them ALL because of the horrid service on the telephone service!
When I signed up I told the representative I wanted just basic phone service with no long distance, no added features, only the ability to make local calls. They SAID that's what they had set up for me.
My first bill comes in with long distance charges, so I called them. The CSR said that they would put a block on all long distance, all operated assist calls, and all collect calls. They did issue a credit for the calls billed.
My next bill comes in and again, charges for long distance and collect calls (that none of us accepted!) Called them again, was told that they would insure the block was working and again got a credit for the long distance calls.
Next bill: $500 dollars in long distance and collect calls! Called them again, the customer service representative said she's going to contact tech support and find out why the block isn't working and that she would transfer me to billing to get the calls credited. The billing CSR replied with "we don't block calls and we don't credit for them."
I called corporate headquarters in Atlanta. Once again they promised that they'll get the block working, they also promised that the calls would be credited. they also said that the CSR who told me that they can't block calls, and don't credit for them was in error, but she also explained something else that I was not aware of: the way their system is set up if you have an answering machine and it picks up you WILL be charged for the collect calls placed to your number!

No Unpaid Solution for Harassing Calls with Cox Phone
Posted by Nom de Guerre on 04/01/2011
Somehow a couple of criminals obtained my phone number; one of them is identifiable as a scammer on Google by searching his phone number (yes, they were dumb enough to give their numbers to me).
One caller - this one from Los Angeles - claimed to be from Publishers Clearing House, informing me that I had won over $700,000. The other caller - Washington, DC - stated that I "had been trying to claim" an award for $700,000 and he wanted to help me receive it. Apparently $700,000 is the minimum that you Win these days.
I reported this duo to the FCC, but they kept calling; I understand that the FCC can take up to a month to handle any reported issues. I called Cox and asked them to block these two numbers, and was informed that I could do that for a fee of somewhat over $3/month.
I asked the Cox representative which other unlawful nuisances I had the privilege of stopping for a fee. Cox then stated that I could pay for the number block for a month, and then drop it; however, if the Feds still hadn't acted the calls would resume. I was further told that this was all that Cox could do for me.
A third caller contacted me, and he hung up after I told him that I was reporting all such calls to the Federal Government. Hopefully that approach will work, because Cox won't help you at all with nuisance or harassing calls unless you open up your wallet.
Pros: Excellent cable and phone service quality
Cons: Don't ever become a victim; Cox will make you a poorer one
Hidden fees a specialty!

Posted by fast327 on 2011-04-01:
My father-in-law would ask them to hold while he got a pencil and paper, put the phone down while he went ahead with what he was doing and after a while would come by and hang the phone up. It only took a time or two and the calls ceased!

Lack of Disclosure
Posted by LGirl on 06/07/2010
PHOENIX, ARIZONA -- Sure, it sounds like a good idea. Switch to Cox Digital Telephone and save tons of money on your phone bills each month. They don't tell you even 1/3 of the story during the sales pitch. I ended p having to buy all the services I needed one by one, and at the end of the day, I saved only about $20 per month. If you take into account the time and aggravation of dealing with their deceptive sales pitches, I actually lost money. I agreed to switch to Cox after months of calls. I told the sales representative that I currently had 3-way calling, call forwarding, voicemail, the whole works for $52 ish per month. He told me that Cox could give me excellent service for $12 ish per month. I agreed, the installation guy arrived, installed the phone, and left me materials on how to set up voicemail, call forwarding, etc. I tried and couldn't do it. I called Cox for help--turns out, all I received for $12 per month is a phone line. No voicemail, no call waiting, no 3 way calling, even though Cox gave me instructions on how to set up all of these services. To upgrade cost $20 per month. Still less than my former provider, so I agreed. Then I tried to make a long-distance call, with no luck. I called Cox again. Turns out that to have a phone line that will permit long distance calls, at $.5 per minute, costs another $1.99 per month. Still less, so I agreed and the call was disconnected twice during the call. The time I have spent messing with this isn't worth the $275 I would save by switching or the aggravation of dealing with Cox on this. I would have purchased the whole package right up front if the sales person had offered it to me. I asked Cox if there was something in writing where I could see what I was getting for the cost. The customer service representative said, "Yes, your bill." So, only after you purchase the service can you actually find out, in writing, what is included. Absolutely ridiculous, and, in my opinion, deceptive.

Quoted prices different from actual bill
Posted by Beachy one on 03/11/2010
Upon requesting a bundled package with Cox, we were quoted a price per month. However, once the products had been installed, our bill was higher than what was quoted. When I called about the higher charges, I was told that what we had originally received a quote on, was no longer available. When I questioned a recent ad that I had seen with a bundled package for a lower price, I was told that if I got that it would take away my discounts and so it goes....with the price being still higher than we had quoted. Cox and all communication companies should be held to stricter policies regarding their quoted prices and be made to provide a written quote. I did mention that I would be making a complaint to a state commission in the hopes of getting this unfair practice changed.

How long after the install did the price change? Did you have a 3,6 or 12 month promo? Do you use any discounts, like government employee or senior etc? Promos come and go like the wind. You can usually change your promo each time one ends.

Great Customer Service/Products and Prices!
Posted by FightWriter on 10/29/2008
SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA -- In my 47 years I have never fallen across a company that truly will bend over backwards and go to major lengths to assist their customers. Where else can you find a family owned company that consistently provides the most current technology, local customer service and 24/7 tech support. Here is a company with integrity that will not stoop to the level of AT&T by taking specific pot shots at their competitors!
That in and of itself speaks volumes! I don't get it?? Cox has been in the cable business since 1960. AT&T....less than a year. First they took over Dish Network and now it appears they will be kicking them to the curb so they can do their own cable. Which is laughable considering they are CLUELESS as to what they are doing.
Cox's prices are actually less expensive overall. They INVENTED the BUNDLE which has been ripped off by everyone and their mother. People balk at prices without doing ANY research! Just inquire with Dish, DirecTV or AT&T what kind of contract you have to have. Cox......NO CONTRACTS! Or check with the above mentioned how much they charge for HBO or any other premium channel. At least 20-30 percent more than Cox!! And if like me, you bundle your services they do give a substantial discount.
Have you called AT&T's customer service lately? Inept, uncaring, and useless! There will always be people that feel the need to complain month after month after month about prices and bills, etc. These are the people who do not know the meaning of the word accountable. The ones that don't take the time to read their bills or ask the appropriate questions when purchasing services. The ones who blame Cox that their service is interrupted because their bill is 4 months past due and they say "I never got a bill" or "Nobody told me". PAHLEESEEE! I know for a fact that if a person needs some help paying their bill and they call, Cox is not judgmental, will set up payment arrangements and assist as much as humanly possible.
The only catch....if you're the customer, you NEED TO CALL! I'm sure no one is thinking "Oh 4 months passed by, my cable, internet and phone is free because I didn't get a bill". LOL. Did you know on their website you can view up to 18 months of your billing? Sure they're not perfect and mistakes are made. But I can tell you from personal experience, they will NOT let anyone fall through the cracks. They have an acronym (FOAV) Focus on Added Value and they mean it! For over 5 years they have won JD Powers Customer Service Awards and get this, for the last 4 years they beat out AT&T winning JD Powers best phone service awards!!
For those who have legitimate issues (as some of us do with any company) they will work with you until it's resolved. For the rest of you who whine, complain, threaten to go elsewhere, don't take responsibility for your bills and just want to badmouth someone, take a good look in the mirror because wherever you go, you will blame the next company and the next until no one will have you. I have never done this before on a website but in a world where people have no problem complaining, I wanted to say something nice for a change. I only wish they had cell phone service so I could get rid of the WORST company I've ever dealt with (Sprint).
Thanks Cox for being a local trusted provider, for going the extra mile for your customers, for contributing so much to the community and our kids (Cox Kids Foundation), caring about San Diego teachers and continuing to provide the most current great entertainment!

I have also had great service, price and selction choices from Cox. I'm really pleased this is company practice and not only an isolated incident for me.
Posted by Anonymous on 2008-10-29:
Same here John. Cox is everything DirecTV and DISH wish they could be when it comes to customer service. If you ever need to call them a live human answers the phone that speaks English and is not in India or the Philippines. No sleazy hidden contracts and we pay nothing extra for far superior HDTV. Like the OP points out the three way bundle saves people a lot of money. (VH)

Yeah, I too love Cox.
Posted by Ponie on 2008-10-30:
Learned something new today--as is quite usual coming to M3C. Never knew Cox was a family-owned company. When I first hooked up to Internet and cable TV, AT&T was our provider. This was several years back when Colin Powell's son Mike was Prez and CEO. Since then there have been many changes in management and from reading various complaints, I guess the service has deteriorated quite a bit.
Have friends in NE who signed on with Cox for ISP and cable TV about a year ago. They say it's fantastic and the slight additional cost for ISP over their former provider, Earthlink, is worth it.
I completely agree with the poster's comments about some of the complaints we see. Didn't get a bill for three months? Yeah, sure...
Posted by FightWriter on 2008-10-31:
Superbowl, great point about not getting India or the Philipines! The lack of communication is intolerable!! Not to mention the outsourcing of jobs!! It feels like it's a robotic conversation to me, people just reading a script repeating the same things over and over. After 8 long years, I will finally be leaving Sprint when my contract is up and 90% of the reason is their lack of customer service!!!
Posted by Kevin from Lincoln on 2008-11-15:
You are all Stupid. Let ne save you time and hassle calling Cox if you have a problem.
1. There is an outage
2. We will send a technician out , when available
3. You don't have that service option
4. There is an outage.
5. bythe way what is your address?
This is what you will get no matter what the problem is. When you call this Powerhouse of technology and ask WHY something is wrong their answers relate to two morons with a string between cans. Yes I checked to see if the TV was on! Yes I have unplugged the box and counted to 10 then replugged. Should I kick it now?
oops that's right I'm on hold for 15minutes again...supervisor? hello there's an outage.
So here's the simple cut to the chase answer: We are stupid pay the bill and be satisfied with what you get. bythe wayas of february next year analog TV will no longer be available. You know that service that was uniteruptable for 60 years and COST NOTHING!!!!!
Customer service goes beyond saying "sorry for the wait" it means doing something while we are waiting.
Posted by DigitalCommando on 2008-11-15:
Kevin, born in the back of a Lincoln, are you in love with that old tired analog crappy resolution picture? In case you missed the boat, over the air free local stations are not going away, just moving to digital like Europe did several years ago. God forbid we actually do something right for a change. If you hate the beautiful, crisp clear picture with HDTV, may I suggest you smear a thin layer of vaseline on your TV screen, that way you'll be warm and cozy with your low res images again. And before you call Cox again, put the batteries in the remote first!
Posted by Ladderman on 2008-12-11:
You must have a crappy picture then, because he has the option of HD service. DUH. Cable is not going away either. I bet if he was talking about satellite, you would be praising him 5 pages long.
Posted by TDB on 2009-04-16:
Either you guys are COX employees, stock or shareholders or you have never needed Customer Service or Repair. I have written proof, I have pdf proof (pictures of the Las Vegas Data Transfers and pictures of cut cables at my house where the tech cut to close to the wall and can't repair it now). When your cable goes down, MY PROOF will show you won't be singing so happily anymore. What good are what you call lower prices if you don't get the service needed to get what you paid for. Monopolies are nothing but trouble given time and we are at that point folks.

Horrible Customer Service
Posted by CRC on 10/19/2007
QUEEN CREEK, ARIZONA -- How is it Cox can spend millions on advertising and cannot even add new service with any level of confidence? After my first attempt to add new service failed (the technician did not meet our "appointment window"), customer service contacted me to try and make amends, second try... customer service stated I needed to redo the phone switch over request, I called to do so, and was told I did not need to redo the phone request, two days later, another email I do need to re-complete the request... and am told at that time, my 3rd or 4th contact that the phone cannot be switched over on Saturday anyway. Told them to cancel the order. How is it Cox can become a monopoly? Even going to the FCC website to complain about their monopoly is not effective, they direct you back to Cox's franchising authority (whoever that is).
The only alternative in my area is Direct TV, costly and you need a ton of additional equipment. There must be a lot of money going between Cox and the politicians to keep this one up... whatever happened to Cable America... good service, reasonable price... oh yea, Cox bought them, too bad.

I agree with you. Thanks for the 'Very Helpful' info.
Good luck.
Posted by Ponie on 2007-10-19:
'How is it Cox can become a monopoly?' They aren't. You, yourself, mentioned DirecTV. Don't like the equipment or additional expense? Well, you'll have to decide which is the lesser of two evils. But since there is a choice, they cannot be considered a monopoly.
As far as the response you received from FCC, perhaps you should acquaint yourself with who/what is your local government. Whether it be township, village, or city--that's who your franchising authority is. Go to their meetings, voice your displeasure. If they receive enough complaints, they may decide to change suppliers.
Posted by Ladderman on 2008-01-13:
As for meeting time frames. That is impossible in a lot of cases, because those technicians do not go to work everyday thinking they are going to run into a mess at a house, that they have to redo. One appointment that they were only give an hour to do, can cripple them for the rest of the day because they were not given enough time in the first place. If they have 3 calls in the morning, and they spend most of their time at one house, you can see what is about to happen. And most cases, the other technicains are tied up themselves. I am sure they do not meet them on purpose. The technicians are more aggrevated than you are. Give them a break. Time frames are rediculous, and only make ALL companies look bad. My dentist appointment I had was an hour behind, but you don't see me trying to make their office look bad now do you? We all need to quit acting so self centered these days.
Posted by dmoore111 on 2008-01-21:
Sorry Ladderman, I disagree. Of the 7 appointments Cox has had at my home, only 4 showed on the aggreed upon DATE. And no, it wasn't confusion on my part. I have weekends off, and my son has Wednesdays off. I wouldn't 'accidently' be so misinformed as to agree to Mon,Tue,Thurs,Fri... Yet, it has happened 4 of the 7 times that they show up on days that my son is either on his way out to work,etc. One morning I was leaving through my gate at 8:10 am and seen teh truck. The guy asked to be let in and I asked if it was for my address.. he said yes... His appointment date was correct, but I had scheduled for that evening between 5-7 block of time. How does 5-7pm transfer to the first call in the morning? And yes, I feel bad for the techs becuase I'm sure they spin their wheels all day, getting nowhere, due to scheduling back at the office. On their behalf.. two times they were going to be very late and both times I received a call from the techs (not home office)... It's that simple courtesy that customers appreciate.

Serves 8-10
A salt, herb, and flour crust blankets the standing rib roast while it cooks, sealing in all the juices and infusing the meat with flavor. The result is a tender, perfectly medium-rare roast beef that's seasoned all the way through. With a creamy sauce of dried morels and Marsala, it's luxury on a plate.
In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine 1 cup water with the salt, egg white, pepper, thyme, juniper, garlic, and parsley. Mix on medium speed until blended. On medium-low speed, mix in 2 cups of the flour, adding more as needed, until the dough is firm and feels slightly dry and stiff, like Play-Doh. Continue to mix for 2 minutes. The dough should be smooth and firm but not sticky; add more flour if necessary. Flatten the dough into a rectangle, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to 6 hours.
An hour before you're ready to roast, put the beef on the counter and let sit at room temperature.
Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 350°F. Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil and put the roast meat side down in the skillet; sear until deeply browned, about 5 minutes. Remove the roast from the pan and set it bone side down on a rack in a roasting pan.
On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a 1/4-inch-thick rectangle. Drape the dough over the meat, tucking it in on all sides. Roast until an instant-read thermometer in the middle of the roast registers 125°F for rare or 135°F for medium rare, 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 hours. Let rest for 20 minutes, then remove and discard the crust. (After removing the crust, the roast can rest for up to 30 minutes more.) Carve and serve with the Morel Sauce.

1/10/2011Fantastic. Best rib roast we ever made. Like the other reviewers, we skipped the morel sauce after seeing how expensive they were, but I did make a jus. I'm laughing because I just assumed that the juniper berries that the recipe called for were supposed to be the dried kind--that's what we used. Where does one find fresh?
by cdb123,
2/3/2010I really enjoyed this recipe. It was alot of fun to make. The meat came out a perfect medium rare almost throughout the entire roast. I agree with the other reviewer about the morels, they are hard to find and expensive. I just substituted a mix of dried mushrooms that I found at Whole Foods.
by Mrs. J,
1/3/2010Tender Tender Tender and delicious. Did not make the Morel sauce due to family allergies. One negative was the lack of brown fat drippings for gravy for the Yorkshire Puddings (Popovers). Most of the meats juices went into the crust so made what drippings there were into a gravy but it was not eatable because of the salt levels. Some diners found the meat too salty.
Will make it again and see what happens with a lower salt content in the crust?????
by Dejah41,
12/27/2009I made this for extended family supper on the 26th - a 7-rib AAA prime. It was fabulous even tho' it was a little more done than med-rare due to timing problems with family activities at another house. The meat was succulent, so tender that no knives were needed. My 101 year old mother was able eat it with no problems whatsoever.
The crust was a lot of fun. I had all the ingredients and the herbs infused the meat with wonderful aromas. I wish I had taken a picture - think body cast!
I made the morel sauce even tho'I only had one oz of mushrooms. Scraped some of the "goo" from the bottom of the roaster and incorporated it into the soaking liquid before adding it to the rest of the ingredients. The 2 cups of heavy cream made it really rich. Even with one oz of morels, we could still taste the flavour.
Hubby said this was by far the best roast ever - in our 44 years of marriage!This may well be the new tradition for prime rib in our primarily Chinese family!
by Choclit,
12/27/2009I made this recipe for Christmas this year and everyone felt that this was by far the best standing rib roast that I had ever made. There were a couple of issues with the crust, however. First, my regular grocery store did not have juniper berries but I was able to locate dried juniper berries at my local Whole Foods store. Also, I had some difficulty with the herb and salt crust dough and it it didn't hold together very well when rolled out and draped over the meat. I needed to add more flour to get a less sticky dough, as noted in the recipe. This may take an attempt or two to get right. However, it worked very well and resulted in a very juicy and flavorful roast.
I did not end up making the morel sauce. I was able to locate dried morels at Whole Foods, but at $20 per ounce the morel sauce would have cost almost as much as the roast! Instead, I made a simple green peppercorn brown sauce that everyone loved.

Watters' Sensationalism Proves Some Want Kessel To Fail
It's been a hot topic, and a touchy one at that for the better part of almost a year, since the day the trade was consummated. Â The Toronto Maple Leafs, toward the end of the pre-season, announced that they had traded two firsts and a second round pick to the Boston Bruins in exchange for Phil Kessel, a young American born sniper who the B's were having issues resigning.
It was a steep price to pay, but you have to give to receive, and in Kessel the Leafs got a bona fide goal scorer who looks like he could be a perennial 30 goal scorer (more on that later.)
And yet some people have cast Kessel to fail, no matter what impact he has on the Leafs, attaching him forever to the trade that brought him here.
This past week, Bill Watters took that to the extreme, and took a piece of integrity written journalism and turned into something sensational and downright wrong, all in the name of making Phil Kessel look as bad as possible because he doesn't agree with the trade.

The American soldier accused of gunning down 16 Afghan civilians, including nine children, has been flown out of Afghanistan to Kuwait. NBC's Richard Engel reports.
Updated at 6:40 a.m. ET: -- A U.S soldier suspected of shooting to death 16 Afghan civilians was flown out of Afghanistan to Kuwait on Wednesday evening, the U.S. military said.
The soldier was taken out of the country "based on a legal recommendation," said Navy Capt. John Kirby, a Pentagon spokesman in Washington.
The 38-year old Staff Sergeant was transferred "based on a legal recommendation" because the "U.S. military (in Afghanistan) does not have the proper facilities to detain an American service member for any extended length of time," a senior U.S. official told NBC News' Jim Miklaszewski.
The soldier was moved to a detention facility in Kuwait and a military lawyer from Joint Base Lewis-McChord was headed to the facility to meet with the soldier, the official told NBC News.
The decision to move the soldier was made by the top U.S. military commander in Afghanistan, Gen. John Allen, a senior Pentagon official said.
Despite mounting pressure after the recent civilian killings in Afghanistan, President Barack Obama and Prime Minister David Cameron of Britain reaffirmed their plans to slowly dial back their military presence. NBC's Kristen Welker reports.
U.S. military officials told NBC News that they expect charges to be filed by at least the end of next week.
Afghan lawmakers expressed anger Thursday over the U.S. move to fly out the soldier accused of killing 16 civilians, mostly women and children, saying Kabul shouldn't sign a strategic partnership agreement with Washington unless the suspect faces justice in Afghanistan.
Negotiations over the agreement, which would govern the presence of U.S. forces in Afghanistan after most combat troops withdraw by the end of 2014, were tense even before the shooting deaths of the civilians in southern Kandahar province on Sunday.
NBC's Richard Engel reports.
On Wednesday, an Afghan man drove a stolen pickup onto a runway at Camp Bastion, the main British base in southern Afghanistan, before crashing into a ditch -- right around the time that U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta's plane was touching down, U.S. defense officials said.
The man who crashed the truck at the airfield in southern Afghanistan as the defense secretary's plane was landing and then exited the vehicle in flames died of extensive burns on Thursday.
U.S. Lt. Gen. Curtis Scaparotti, deputy commander of American forces in Afghanistan, told reporters traveling with Panetta in Kabul that he believed the man -- an interpreter working for foreign forces -- was targeting a group of U.S. Marines assembled on the ramp. He said it would have been difficult to know which plane the defense secretary was aboard.
The secretary's aircraft had to taxi to a different location. No one in Panetta's party was hurt, said Kirby.
"At no time was the secretary or the secretary's delegation in any danger whatsoever," George Little, a Pentagon spokesman traveling with Panetta, told reporters after the incident.

Panetta arrived in Afghanistan for an unannounced two-day visit with Afghan officials and U.S. troops -- the first by a senior member of the Obama administration since the shootings over the weekend.
Panetta told soldiers at Camp Leatherneck, the main U.S. Marine base in the volatile area: "We'll be challenged by our enemy. We'll be challenged by ourselves. We'll be challenged by the hell of war itself. But none of that, none of that, must ever deter us from the mission that we must achieve."
In Washington, President Barack Obama said Britain and their NATO allies are committed to shifting to a support role in Afghanistan in 2013.
Speaking alongside British Prime Minister David Cameron at joint a news conference in the White House, Obama said that next phase in the transition will be an important step in turning security control over to the Afghans by the end of 2014.
Panetta's visit to Afghanistan was planned months ago, long before the weekend slaughter that claimed the lives of 16 villagers. But the trip propels Panetta into the center of escalating anti-American anger and sets the stage for some difficult discussions with Afghan leaders.
Jangir / AFP - Getty Images
More than ten years after the beginning of the war, Afghanistan faces external pressure to reform as well as ongoing internal conflicts.
There were clear concerns about security in the large tent at Camp Leatherneck where Panetta was slated to talk to troops.
Before Panetta came into the hall, Sgt. Maj. Brandon Hall told the more than 200 Marines in the room to take their weapons outside and leave them there. Afghan troops had already been told not to bring their guns in.
A U.S. defense official said the order was not a reaction to an immediate threat. Speaking on condition of anonymity, the official said the base commander made the decision that no one would be allowed to bring in weapons.
Marines asked to disarm before Panetta speech
Afghans investigating the village massacre had been shown video of the U.S. soldier taken from a security camera mounted on a blimp above his base, an Afghan security official told Reuters.
The footage showed the uniformed soldier, with his weapon covered by a cloth, approaching the gates of the Belandai special forces base and throwing his arms up in surrender, the official said.
The video had been shown to investigators to help dispel a belief among some Afghans, including many members of parliament, that more than one soldier must have been involved because of the high death toll, the official said.
NBC News' Jim Miklaszewski and Courtney Kube, The Associated Press, Reuters and msnbc.com staff contributed to this report.

A growing number of republicans appear to be set to join the campaign to defeat democratic Governor Mark Dayton.
Former Republican House Speaker Kurt Zellers is inviting supporters to Maple Grove Sunday afternoon for what he calls a "special announcement."
Sources tell KSTP he will join the campaign for governor.
It's a growing field of candidates that could grow to six or more republicans and could result in a primary battle.
The only two Republicans officially in the race so far are Wayzata businessman Scott Honour and Hennepin County Commissioner Jeff Johnson.

(FBI Handout)This week marked a dubious moment in women's history. On Thursday, the FBI added Assata Shakur, to the list of the country's most wanted terrorists. Shakur, born Joanne Chesimard, became the first female on the list, for incidents that date back forty years. Shakur, now in her 60s, was convicted of killing New Jersey state trooper Werner Foerster and sentenced to life in prison in 1977. She managed to escape and has been a fugitive for the past three decades. But Shakur, who is the step-aunt of Tupac Shakur, never disappeared, in fact she might be one of the most well-known fugitives on the FBI's list. Here is a rough timeline of Shakur's case.
1973: Shakur and two fellow passengers were stopped for a broken tail light on the New Jersey Turnpike. After a heated exchange, they exchanged fire with police officers, and allegedly Shakur shot and killed Foerster. You can read the FBI's account of what happened here. You can also read conflicting accounts from witness reports, collected by

Why People's Most Beautiful List Makes Me SadBy Piper Weiss, Shine Staff | Beauty – Wed, Apr 24, 2013 1:18 PM EDT
Can we all agree that Julianne Moore is, by most standards, conventionally beautiful?
Tell that to People Magazine, judges of the annual celebrity beauty pageant—formally known as People's Most Beautiful Issue. Their latest issue reads like a yearbook for Hollywood High's most popular kids. There is the prettiest freshman (Ireland Baldwin), the gorgeous grad (Jane Fonda) and the number one most popular, beautiful, blondest winner of all, Gwyneth Paltrow.
And then there are the eight women who are, well, "Unconventional Beauties." Moore is number one on that less flattering sidebar, and next to her name, in all caps, is the word FRECKLES. The caption reads: "With her fair skin, Moore's freckles are hard to miss—something the actress has come to accept with age."
If this really were a high school yearbook, the caption would read "Julianne Moore: Most Freckle-Faced." It's just another "real beauty" trick of the magazine trade: make like you're celebrating someone's stand-out features butRead More »from Why People's Most Beautiful List Makes Me Sad
Hawaiian Tropic Bikini Pageants Are Officially Over, ThankfullyBy Piper Weiss, Shine Staff | Beauty – Tue, Apr 23, 2013 3:12 PM EDT
Not long ago, Hawaiian Tropic was known fortwo things: tanning oil and beauty pageants. Those days are over.
On Tuesday, the brand announced the retirement of their famous bikini contests, first launched in 1983. That means no more oiled up fitness models in neon string bikinis competing for the title of Miss Hawaiian Tropic on beaches across the world.
What you really need to know about sunscreen
The reason? Women. "The bikini contest wasn't resonating with our target female consumers," Danielle Duncan, Hawaiian Tropic Brand Manager, tells Yahoo Shine. With women making up 70 percent of the brand's users, according to a report in the The New York Times, that was a problem. The solution for Tropic's marketing team was to reinvent product offerings "to appeal to today's Hawaiian Tropic women."
That means saying goodbye to yesterday's Hawaiian Tropic women. Known as a slightly raunchier version of Miss Universe, the Tropic pageants rose to popularity in the '90s, but faded from aRead More »from Hawaiian Tropic Bikini Pageants Are Officially Over, Thankfully
It's National Lovers Day: Why does the word 'Lover' feel so wrong?By Piper Weiss, Shine Staff | Love + Sex – Tue, Apr 23, 2013 10:49 AM EDTLovers Day. It's a lot like Valentine's Day: roses are handed out, marriage proposals spike, and a national awareness of sexy time is promoted courtesy of a 15th Century Saint (in this case St. George) This year, some folks (slash publicists) are trying to import the holiday to the States, proclaiming today National Lovers Day right here in the U.S.Today is for lovers. Every year on April 23, Spain celebrates
One problem: People really, really hate the word 'lover'. To quote the late Liz Lemon, "that word bums me out unless it's between the words meat and pizza."
It's difficult to pinpoint what makes it sound so perverted-nails-on-a-chalkboard, but I'll give it a try. First of all, it's a little too specific. If you're referring to a lover in conversation, you're daring the person you're to talking to not to picture you having sex in a champagne glass-shaped bubble bath in the Poconos. There are other words to describe the person you've chosen to bed, so the decision to use feels a bit Read More »from It's National Lovers Day: Why does the word 'Lover' feel so wrong?
Happy Birthday Victoria Beckham! We remember when you were just Posh.By Piper Weiss, Shine Staff | Beauty – Wed, Apr 17, 2013 1:13 PM EDT
Remember this lady? She turned 39 on Wednesday.
Most people know her as Victoria Beckham, the unflinchingly serious high-fashion brand ambassador, designer, power mom, royal party guest, and U.K. national treasure. But we still remember when she was just a girl named Posh. Let's have a memory walk, shall we?
Remember when butterflies were her favorite fashion accessories and those front two bangs were her favorite pieces of hair?
And remember how she used to show her teeth when she smiled?
She used to smile a lot. Sometimes, aggressively.
Remember how much she loved wearing rectangular librarian/raver glasses indoors?
And remember her spray-bleached denim bustiers? And remember how okay she was when David Beckham wore a sleeveless tuxedo shirt and wrapped his head in nylon? Proud even.
And remember this lip ring? Now you do. Happy Birthday Victoria Posh Spice Beckham. We miss you almost every day.Read More »from Happy Birthday Victoria Beckham! We remember when you were just Posh.
What celebrities tweeted right after their hearts went out to BostonBy Piper Weiss, Shine Staff | Healthy Living – Tue, Apr 16, 2013 3:04 PM EDT
Some celebrities really stepped up in the wake of the Boston Marathon bombing, using their names and their expansive social networks to raise awareness and aid for a city in crisis. Ben Affleck, Mark Walhberg, Sophia Bush, and even Justin Bieber have taken a break from promoting their latest projects on Facebook and Twitter, in order to meditate on the tragedy. But for some stars, the break was short-lived. Here's a collection of celebrity tweets posted soon after after they tweeted prayers for victims of the Boston bombing.
Two hours after Kylie Jenner tweeted #pray4boston, she posted this:
Love this @joycebonelli makeup twitter.com/KylieJenner/st…— Kylie Jenner (@KylieJenner) April 15, 2013
Last night, Candace Cameron Bure tweeted, "Im shocked to to hear about a bomb at the Boston Marathon and deaths confirmed. Praying..." An hour later, she took a moment away from praying to post this.

Vice's TV news show has no women reporters. How edgy is that?By Piper Weiss, Shine Staff | Healthy Living – Fri, Apr 5, 2013 12:16 AM EDT
Vice co-founder Shane Smith says his controversial new HBO documentary series is "not traditional journalism." Let's get real: three white guys reporting on international politics is about as traditional as you can get.
In the eight episodes of "Vice," premiering Friday on HBO, there will be blood, graphic violence, bullet-proof vests, and several pairs of sunglasses. There will not, however, be a single female correspondent, a source close to production confirmed to Yahoo! Shine. That's a pretty old-school decision for a show looking to smash the barriers of traditional journalism.
Executive produced by Bill Maher with the help of consulting producer Fareed Zakaria (a "real-deal newsman's man" according to a Vice blogger), each episode sends "Vice guys" overseas for a glimpse at the characters behind countries in conflict. Smith interviews Afghanistan's child suicide bombers and literally toes the line of the Pakistani-Indian border. Duffy visits a make-shift arms manufacturerRead More »from Vice's TV news show has no women reporters. How edgy is that?

Im 32, n Had my gallbladder taken out 5 weeks after my 4th baby back in June.
I know I've to change my diet as my body is now learning to cope without a gallbladder, and I'm no longer breastfeeding. So I wondered if anyone else in the same boat? I find if I eat certain foods esp veg, my stomachs cramping and I'm off to the loo all day! (Sorry to much information perhaps!) and that May weight just seems to stay the same, no loss, no gain since June.
Any SW peps that have any tips since gallbladder op would be appreciated!
I start back at work next week and need to think ahead what can take for lunches that's not going to have me doubled up!

It's not out of the question to think that Vauxhall could win a shootout for the best fuel economy. But you'd figure the honors would be taken by something like the Ampera plug-in hybrid or one of its EcoFlex models, not the VXR8 muscle sedan, what with its huge 6.2-liter V8 engine. But it's ...

Pull yourself out of the stumps with Cardtorial, a new line of greeting cards crafted from Sustainable Forestry Initiative-certified wood.

A skateboard designer pal led her to TechShop, where she schooled herself in laser cutting and produced a collection of more than 50 cards. Think minimalistic meets heartwarming. Entice Antoine de Saint-Exupéry fans with the author's famous quote sketched alongside a small fox or wish someone a whale of a birthday.

Knicks fall to Raptors; Anthony's arm hurting
|Toronto Raptors' Kyle Lowry (3) is fouled by New York Knicks' Carmelo Anthony (7) during the second half of an NBA basketball game Wednesday, Feb. 13, 2013, in New York. The Raptors won 92-88. (AP Photo/Frank Franklin II)
NEW YORK (AP) — No big shots from Rudy Gay on this night. He hardly made any shots at all.
Neither did Carmelo Anthony, bothered by what he called a dead arm after being hit in the biceps early in the game.

Here are some of our favorite Elmer's School Glue Projects!
Hope we inspire some sticky, crafty fun at your house or classroom.
Note: this post is NOT sponsored by Elmer's,
we just love their glue and it was my go-to brand of choice in my classroom when I was an art teacher.
* Whenever the kids are working with glue I like to remind them:
"Dot, dot, not a lot!"
* You can add a tiny bit of vaseline to the inside of a glue nozzle to keep it from gluing shut.
* Elmer's Glue school glue can be diluted with water and applied with a paint brush
or craft foam brush as a homemade Mod Podge.
* I like to stock up on Elmer's Glue during the "back to school" sales to save money!

The Anniston mayor and City Council are to be commended for their recent passage of a comprehensive smoking ordinance, thereby setting the stage for a healthier community. It has been shown in an overwhelming abundance of research that smoking is the most costly habit from the perspective of disease, disability and death, not to mention health-care costs to individuals and industry.
A heartfelt thanks to our competent and courageous leaders for taking this step.

The Cougs went to work early and often against Reno. Spanish Springs struck for a pair of runs in the first inning on a two-RBI double off the bat of junior Sidney Sinclair.
Four more runs came in the second inning for SSHS. A single from Bella Rovens scored two before Dani Smith ripped a two-run home run to put Spanish Springs up 6-0.
The Purple and Silver bats exploded again in the third inning, this time for an eight spot. Sophomore Kayla Arterburn started off the eight-run rally with a solo shot over the outfield fence. A double from Bayley Broadwater followed before Sadye Roulund singled her home. Roulund touched home on a single from Dani Smith. The Cougs then loaded the bases, allowing Kelsey Stroshine to collect a pair of RBI with a double. Two runs followed on a single from Myrissa Prince before Prince scored later in the inning on an error to close out the third inning onslaught, leaving the scoreboard reading 14-0 in favor of the Cougars.
"We hit the ball extremely hard," Spanish Springs coach Jeff Davidson said. "We had close to 20 hits on the day and we were just hitting the ball all over the yard. On top of that, we played good defense and Brette pitched a great game."
Roulund led off the top of the fourth frame with a solo dinger of her own to cap off a trio of Cougar deep balls.
Reno managed to push across its only run of the game in the fourth inning, resulting in the 15-1 final.
Cougar junior Brette Lawrence worked the circle for SSHS, going five innings with nine strikeouts and zero walks for the win.
SSHS had 19 hits on the day. Smith and Lawrence each went 3-for-3 at the dish, leading the Cougars' barrage. Roulund was 2-for-2, while Sinclair went 3-for-4. Broadwater also contributed to the hit parade as she batted 2-for-3 from the plate.
Davidson said he is happy to be seeing his team play the type of ball he knows they are capable of just in time for the playoffs.
"It's all about momentum at this point and that's what we've talked about starting last week," Davidson said. "We've just talked about how important momentum is at this point. We want to get momentum and keep it moving forward every game. We have McQueen and Galena left and they're both in regionals right now. It's good for us to play those teams. I told my team we just have to keep going forward and working on things we need to work on and improving daily."
Spanish Springs (21-8, 13-5 Northern 4A) hosts McQueen today at 3:45 p.m.
Reed 5, McQueen 3
Fighting gusting winds as well as its opponent, the Reed softball team battled from behind and then held off host McQueen for a 5-3 Northern 4A victory on Tuesday afternoon.
"It was extremely windy up at McQueen and we recognized that the catchers were going to have challenges throwing into the wind, so we took advantage of that," Reed coach Jon Wunder said. "We actually had seven stolen bases so our base running really helped us today manufacture some runs. We didn't make any errors and we played solid defense. We faced a good pitcher today in a little bit of adverse conditions and we did what we needed to do to eek out the win."
The Raiders pushed a run across the plate with their first trip to the plate. Senior Hannah Martini started the inning off with a single, stole second and went to third on a wild pitch. Martini then touched home on a fielder's choice from Mary Dettling for the early 1-0 RHS edge.
After the Lancers knotted the game up at 1-1 with a run in the bottom of the first frame, the Raiders found themselves in trouble in the bottom of the third, giving the Lancers a 3-1 advantage.
Reed quickly responded.
Down 3-1, senior Andi Lee sparked the Blue and Gold offense with a single and stolen base. With Lee standing on second base, sophomore Marriah Levesque singled her home. Levesque then stole second herself before junior Laura Frost plated her with a single of her own to tie the game at 3-3.
The contest remained tied until the Raiders took their next at-bats in the fifth. Dettling led off with a double, which was followed by a single and sacrifice bunt from senior Shivaun Landeros and Lee, respectively. Dettling completed the final trek home on a successful squeeze from senior Makaela Moore for a 4-3 Reed advantage.
The visitors added an insurance run in the top of the sixth inning when senior Cori Gammon touched home on errant throw on her steal attempt of third base, but the run would prove unnecessary as the Raiders shut down McQueen's bats.
Coming on in relief in the bottom of the fourth inning for sophomore Jackie Sertic, Landeros held the Lancers scoreless over the final four innings as she allowed just one hit and struck out three for the win. While the game was close, Wunder said it may have actually benefited his team more as it gears up for the postseason.
"Their pitcher is a very solid, good pitcher and we certainly had to compete to win today which is good," Wunder said. "I'm always happy with a win whether it be 15-3 or 5-3, but blowout wins do not help you at all preparing for the playoffs."
Reed (24-4, 17-1 Northern 4A) will host Galena today at 3:45 p.m. before closing out its regular season on Friday at Damonte Ranch.

Blaze at Coomassie Street, Pill, Newport was 'deliberate' - fire service
6:52am Friday 13th December 2013 in Gwent news
A spokeswoman for South Wales Fire and Rescue said the blaze was deliberate.
Eyewitness Sean Powell, 21, works at nearby Dale Motors. He saw black smoke while he was sat in his car this morning outside his office at around 5.50am.
He called his father, who then called the fire brigade and got down to the scene as quickly as possible.
Most of the fire has now been extinguished and crews are beginning to leave.
50 firefighters are now at the blaze scene in Pill.
A LARGE blaze is being tackled by firefighters in Coomassie Street, Pill, Newport.
Four engines and a hydraulic platform are being used to fight the fire in the old Handiland premises.
Dozens of firefighters are at the scene, and crews are using a "water curtain" to contain the fire and stop it spreading to nearby buildings.
The two-storey building is "well alight" and a second water bowser is being drafted in from Barry.

Pearls of Wisdom

Call Dr. Wallach's live radio program weekdays from noon until 1pm pacific time at 831-685-1080 or toll free at 888-379-2552.
Recent comments
I think it would be a good idea if Dr. Wallach had a section on his radio show where he could answer one or a few "mail bag" questions that people could sen in, that have not been asked yet, and those that have been answered, refer the person to the specific call that it may have been answered on....

Gas or electric? Usually, I only recommend replacing when they start to leak. Your FIRST task is to find out why the water is only warm, otherwise, you may replace the heaters and find out you STILL have the same problem if it is functional problem.
I have two State water heaters that are 14 years old. Water temperature is now warm rather than hot. I replaced expansion tank a year ago. Should we repair or replace water heaters?

My last State gas water heater lasted for 10 years before springing a leak. I would have liked to cut it open to see the innards as I suspect it had quite a build-up inside. The installer that took it out said it weighed a lot more than when it was new.
I would not repair a 14 year old gas heater, figuring that the build-up inside would significantly reduce efficiency and capacity.
Any recommendations for a replacement?
In the USA, (nearly) all residential WH are now required to have protection from igniting vapors from volatile liquids that may be in the area. These have been problematic for some companies. They also generally mean that a new WH of the same volume will likely be taller, since the burner design is different to prevent that ignition. I'd look at Rheem or Bradford White. Some of their models qualify for Energy Star efficiencies, and may get you a rebate from your local utility company - well worth asking.

I like the Rheem and Bradford White water heaters for replacement.
14 years is pretty old for a gas water heater. So old, that they may not deserve a service call.
Warm not hot?
Have you checked the thermostat settings?
Also, if you have been having plastic particles clogging faucet aerators, you could have bad dip tubes.

Aos I said before, find out WHY you do not have adequate hot water, since it is NOT a common problem with gas heaters.

About the only think worth repairing on heaters this old would be the dip tubes. There was a big bunch of defective tubes made by one manufacturer that supplied several brands of heaters several years ago. Your heaters may be from that time period. At any rate, dip tubes are easy to check and easy to replace if they are broken. Just remove the nipple on the intake side of the heater and pull the tube out. They should go nearly to the bottom of the tank. They are just a flanged plastic tube that hang in the hole under the nipple. Turn the water supply off first. LOL
Dip tubes caused a lack of hot water volume, not a lack of temperature.

How are the wtr/htrs plumbed ?
It is possible that one of them is not firing while the other one is heating the water but it mix's coming out of heaters giving you warm water !
Then trouble shoot the one not working and repair as needed

The problem was solved with a new thermocouple. Enjoying hot showers again! Appreciate everyone's comments.
