Six ways tech can stop nuisance calls
Nuisance calls can be a daily irritant that are hard to shake. Luckily, tech can save the day, with plenty of options available to make sure your phone only rings when there's someone you want to talk to on the other end of the line.
We look at six features available on phones and call blockers, or through your service provider, that can help curb nuisance calls and give you back some peace.
Cordless phones on test – we review the latest cordless phones
How to curb nuisance calls
Last caller barring – perhaps unsurprisingly, this feature blocks the number of the last person to call you. It's useful if you take a call from a salesperson or other nuisance caller, and know from that first conversation that you'll never want to speak to them again. Once selected, the caller will hear a busy tone the next time they call. Of course, they have to call you at least once before you can block them.
Last caller barring is available on some phones, as well as via your phone provider or through most call blockers.
Anonymous call blocking – lots of nuisance calls come from anonymous numbers, so this feature will nip such unsolicited callers in the bud by simply not allowing any of these types of calls through. It can be extremely effective, but it's worth remembering that plenty of legitimate companies and organisations – like banks and the NHS – can also show up as 'anonymous' so you may miss out on an important call.
Anonymous call blocking is available on some phones, as well as via your phone provider or through most call blockers.
Individual number blocking – if you don't want to blanket block numbers, but just deal with individual persistent pests, most phones, devices and services will give you the option to block certain numbers. How many depends on how you go about it – services tend to only let you block a small number (around ten), while call blocking devices give you a lot more options.
Individual number blocking is available on some phones, as well as via your phone provider or through most call blockers.
International call blocking – if most of your calls from abroad are from a man in Mumbai trying to offer you an upgrade on your broadband, then you might be tempted by the option to block international calls. Only UK-based phone numbers will be able to get through to you, although the trueCall call blocker will also let any friends or relatives abroad enter a special code to bypass the block.
International call blocking is available on some phones or through most call blockers.
Silence/Night mode – if you don't get too many nuisance calls, or simply don't want to speak to anyone when you're settling down to watch Eastenders, then Silence/Night mode gives you the option to set a time period when your phone won't ring. It essentially mutes the ringtone, meaning that the call is getting through – you just won't hear it. You can select numbers from your phonebook to bypass this if there are people you don't mind talking to at any time.
Night mode is available on some devices depending on model and manufacturer.
Call screening – many people use their answering machine to screen their calls but the truCall call blocker offers a more sophisticated option. It asks the caller to state their name and business before putting them through – most won't bother, choosing to hang up and try someone else instead. Legitimate callers will be happy to give their details, at which point your phone will ring, a recording of their answer will be played, and you can choose to accept or reject the call.

I use the answerphone & caller ID to decide what to answer – can be mildly amusing when an automated call meets the answerphone.
I ask them to speak and tell the caller that I will pick up the phone if I recognise their voice.
If it's a call from bank etc. they always say and pick up anyway.
I simply ask them to hold on, put the phone down and after a little while they get the message and hang up.
I always say she's not at home, can I take a message. They ask if I'm a family member & I say No! Otherwise I let the call go to answer phone, you never get a message then I know it's just not a proper call.
yes that is ok but I have a grand-daughter who never leaves a message
I save these numbers to the end of my phone's directory either under a name beginning with Z (or just the letter Z), so each goes to the end of the directory list and do not interfere with the main listing. Next time they call I see the Z and ignore the call.
Yesterday I had a run of these and ghost calls and in the evening someone called asking if I was receiving a lot of nuisance calls. They claimed they had the solution but it was a rather suspicious coincidence..
On Tuesday 24 June a elderly (93) friend of mine also received a call from a male caller who said his name was Andy, although he did not sound English. He asked if my friend if they had been receiving unwanted calls, (who hasn't), when this was confirmed he said he could stop them but it would cost £58.00 and gave an 08 number to call. When my friend declined the offer, he attempted to obtain her bank details.
I checked the incoming call number and it began with 008. I believe numbers beginning with 00 are from overseas. This was obviously a scam.
We receive calls twice a day (!) from a call center in San Antonio Texas – 0012102490540. This is not a nuisance. It is harassment.
The TPS is useless. We have been registered with them for over 15 years and still get UK calls. I had a long chat with the TPS years ago and was told all the ways firms use to get around 'the law'. So the TPS admitted then that the law was useless. The latest changes, yet to be implemented, are a waste of time. UK companies get set up and closed down to avoid the government regulations. Foreign call centers are used to bypass UK law. Simple solution? Unlimited fines of any UK person/firm/director involved, including companies which pay other companies to do the dirty work. Make the call illegal unless the telephone number is registered annually by the owner to receive unsolicited calls – who would? Have extradition treaties with other countries for the criminal offense. Any any country failing to have reciprocal agreements – all calls to go through a manual UK operator before connection.
Why do we have to tolerate this?
I get calls with a hidden number from an automated service but yesterday, someone who knew my name, asked me to confirm it, then hung up! It's been quiet since.
I have the silence/nighttime mode activated, allowing only family calls through. We did this because some senile sounding, old lady kept ringing in the night and asking for her son, despite my telling her many times, that she had the wrong number. This is definitely a useful feature on our Panasonic phone.
The nuisance call are annoying and although ime registered TPS I still get calls. Ive found that my phone has quiet a number of ring tones, so iv'e kept the standard tone for all calls except for people who are in my phone book, and they all have different tones so most of the time I know who is calling before I answer the phone. If not, if it's importent they will leave a message.Simple.
We doubtless pay through the nose for having a useless TPS, so I'm blowed if I'm going to pay for a call blocking device.
What we need is stringent legislation to stop harassment from UK centres, and a free service from BT, Virgin, etc, to prevent calls from, eg India- I've got no friends there.
We should all be able to designate countries we don't want to hear from-as far as I'm concerned it's only Oz and the US from whom I'm prepared to accept calls.
I always let any suspicious number ring out and then google the number. If the number is identified as a nuisance caller I then put it in my directory under "junk". Incoming calls from numbers listed in my directory show up as names rather than numbers so when my phone says "junk" I believe it. Problem is I have more junk than I have family and friends!
All nuisance calls on land lines can be dealt with by simply keep pressing the hash key, this cancels your number on the caller data base so they cannot call you again.
Try it and see, it works for me
Thank you David. I've confused myself a bit. I use my procedure on both land line and mobile. I'll try your hash key wheeze. You presumably keep pressing hash key whilst call is connected. I've realised whilst typing that that's the only way I'm going to influence anything at the caller's end. Thanks again.
I always answer and tell the caller it must be a mistake as I don´t have a phone or a land line. Lasts 10 seconds! They always hung up, some even say sorry !!!
I agree, TPS is pretty useless. Everything now goes straight to voicemail here, with the OGM saying that we're so sick of nuisance calls we don't pick up any more… They don't seem to get the message but they do hang up.
Unfortunately most of your solutions are impractical simply because Health Services and other Public bodies use "number withheld" features – possibly with good reason but the very least they should be OBLIGED to do is leave a name and brief message with an accessible return number so that you can distinguish them from the nuisance calls.
If you routinely expect any kind of call from any such organisation on your own behalf or as a carer , you cannot use most of the techniques you describe. Banks and financial institutions are actually the worst. If you are waiting for a call, they always use a number that cannot be called back and all it may mean is that you popped to the loo or out of phone reach.
The WORST of all are those organisations that call mobiles when you may be abroad so subject to crazy roaming charges. You often HAVE to leave your phone available for emergency calls from relatives and then you get some stupid marketeer on the line trying to flog you insurance.
A couple of my more vulnerable friends have their numbers withheld permanently, so I have to answer these calls. Recently the phrase "Number Withheld" started to be used by commercial companies – previously there was a different message.
I wish the phone company putting the calls through (BT etc) could take some of the responsibility, so we could at least recognise the difference.
In addition to all the usual unsolicited calls I frequently receive calls for either a 'Mr Digmar' or a 'Mrs Griffiths' neither of whom are associated with this number which I have held for 30 months. I always advise they have the wrong number and should remove it from any list – and still they come!!
I agree with jen.BT should accept major responsibity for opening up our once private home landlines.why should we be the ones trying to find ways to block these calls when we just shouldnt get them in the 1st place.we dont receive any money from BT in payment for allowing BT to flog our numbers to other companies, if I did maybe I wouldnt mind as much!
Often I receive an international call from someone asking if I am' Mr Hedge'. My reply is that I am not ' Mr Hedge' but that I am Russian and that my name is Vladimir Fukov.
I find that caller id and an answering machine saves me from many conversations that I do not want.
I work on the principle that if someone really wants to talk to me then they will leave a message. I can cut in if they start to speak. Nuisance callers tend not to leave messages.
I do use an answering machine to intercept calls but that didn't seem to stop people calling back. So, recently I have been answering and telling unwanted callers the person they are looking for is the previous owner, who has died. Most apologise, then I ask for the name and number to be deleted. I was getting 6-8 calls a day, I am now standing at 2-3. Don't know if it's a direct correlation but something has happened :-)
I get calls from annoying foreign baskets calling me about Microsoft I tell them Kali is coming that's there death God also the same people call me about accidents that i had one recently they make me sick It's never ending so i will buy one of those phones

AES E-Library
An Experimental Study of distortion
There has been an unfortunate tendency to accept mathematical theories without adequate laboratory test of their practical applicability. This prompted an experimental study of the relation between intermodulation and harmonic distortion in various single amplifier stages and in a complete push-pull amplifier. The results indicate that the ratio of percentage intermodulation distortion to percentage harmonic distortion may vary between less than 0.2 and over 10. Accordingly, the widely published predictions of a ratio between 3.2 and 3.8 are shown to be often incorrect, probably because of the inadequate scope of the mathematical treatment.

Access the complete programming of Montreal museums like never before with our iPhone app! Download it for free from the App Store.
All of the city's history comes together in one place. At the Centre d'histoire de Montréal, you'll find the keys for discovering Montreal's multiple identities. Three floors of permanent and temporary exhibits offer a rich experience of the eventful and sometimes turbulent adventures of Canada's first metropolis.
The city's history is that of its inhabitants, past and present. A history of places and memories that shape a present and suggest a future.
Relive the history of Montreal from the earliest Native presence to today, through a media-rich exposition and immersive podcast.
Young people newly arrived in Montreal present their takes on Montreal through the filtre of their respective cultural and personal backgrounds. Their varied perceptions of the city also open a window on the reality of immigration.
Part of the You are Part of History! educational program, financed by the administrative agreement between the city and the Ministère de l'Immigration et des Communautés culturelles du Québec.
From the 1940s to the 1960s, Montreal bustted to the rhythm of its nightclubs and bashed under the neon glow of its cabarets.
The city's often smoldering night-life sometimes overflowed into the dark corners of illegal gambling dens or behind the curtains of brothels. Scandal ! Had Montreal really become a city of sin and corruption? Our inquiry sets out to shed some light on the matter.
Tuesday to Sunday: 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Re-opening on May 31, 2009.

CSNewMedia come well recommended, have used them in the past with good success.
Veloxserv also score highly with members.
Not sure where to put this so here goes.
I am after some UK hosting so I can point my domain (which I have with 1&1) at it so I can host sites/files. Can anyone recommend a good but cheap host. It is mainly so I can put an odd page up there and random files.
Prefer for it to be a UK host.
CSNewMedia come well recommended, have used them in the past with good success.
Veloxserv also score highly with members.

I thought I'd jump in on this thread too with a little question, I have been after a VPS for awhile in place of hosting - after managing my own dedicated servers for years, I can't deal with restricted hosting!
I am not after much, a basic entry level one would be fine - would prefer a Server 2008 one though with RDP access.
Does anyone have any recommendations for such a company that could provide me this, for perhaps around the £100-120 a year mark?
I have just had a look at velxoserv, they look reasonable.
I've never used CSNewMedia but it is a name that keeps cropping up whenever this top is raised.
Although a little more expensive than you mention, I've had a couple of VPSs with Eukhost for some time now and I've not had any problems with them, and their support is pretty responsive.
CSNM-Carl (28th October 2011), InterwebsGuy (28th October 2011)
Hi there,
We do hosting. We work with numerous partners so i'm sure we'll be able to do whatever you want. Email me or PM me the details and i'll put something together for you.
I am just after some personal hosting for a few bits and bobs for home, is this something you can do?
Ahhhhhhh not personal sorry. Misunderstood!
No worries
Not UK, but they're cheap and from all reports very good - Hetzner Online AG. Its where Edugeek is hosted.
Another vote for CS New Media highly recommended
I have a vps with XenVZ. Price was the main reason I went with them, but just noticed my server has been up for 412 days!
I use ariotek for all my hosting needs.

Carrie Underwood Spends Holidays with Chace Crawfordby Free Britney at . Comments
Chace Crawford is crazy about Carrie Underwood.
Apparently, so is the Dallas native's entire family.
"His whole family loves her," a friend of Chace Crawford and Carrie Underwood tells Us Weekly. "They are really perfect for each other."
How close are the adorable Idol / Gossip Girl duo of six months - who started dating in July but didn't go public until October, and are still pretty coy about it?
After the fourth season American Idol winner and Oklahoma native, 24, spent Thanksgiving with the Gossip Girl hottie, 22, at his parents' home in Texas, she joined his relatives on part of her Christmas vacation as well.
"They spent Christmas together and had a wonderful time," a source says. "His parents are fond of her and think she's extremely talented. And they certainly believe Carrie Crawford would be a great addition to the family!"
Carrie Underwood, meanwhile, has no regrets about her July split from Tony Romo, the Dallas Cowboys star who is now dating Jessica Simpson.
"She thanks her lucky stars she isn't with Tony anymore!" added the insider Us source. "She thinks it's a joke he's with Jessica Simpson and sees him as a player. Carrie and Chace call him 'the player' and Jessica 'the ditz.'"
carrie is so not interesting....sorry. she just looks like a regular old miss america type, typical. not cool, not dynamic, can't dress, too much makeup. hasn't been hooked up with anyone interesting at all.
chace is hot, young, on the rise. they may be dating but it will not last
Shame on you.
whaaaaaaaaaaaaaat! i cannot believe he goes with her i am sooooooooooooo pissed p.s i hate carrie underwood

Just a few Questions...
Hi guys!
I've been LCing for a year straight now, and am (of course) having trouble reaching my "goal" weight. It was suggested I check out the JUDDD boards....so here I am!:jumpjoy:
I have went to the JUDDD website, and then read through some post here, and have just a few questions. Any help would be appreciated.
JUDDD website says on Up Days, eat whatever you like, until you feel full, not overeating of course. Then, on here, I see that most of you count calories on Up Days.....why is that?
Also, LC and JUDDD. I also see a lot of you combine elements of both. Does that mean on your Up Days you eat LC?
Finally, if I eat 'till I'm full on Up Days, but caloric intake is still low, does that affect loss. Meaning, do I use my body's hunger signals as a measure of how much I should eat on Up Days, or my suggested daily caloric intake?
Thanks for any help....I am going to continue reading and educating myself about JUDDD....I am ready to lose these last 10 lbs! :mad:
I can answer the question I bolded. My numbers are 1700 UD/500 DD. I lost 4 lbs. in the first week of JUDDD w/o counting my UD cals. But, then I only maintained the next 3 weeks--I wasn't losing. So, I asked some of the "vets" on here about my problem and they suggested that I was probably eating WAY over on my UD days and didn't realize it.:laugh:
They were right. As soon as I started keeping track of my UD cals to make sure I didn't go over 1700, I started losing steadily again.
I'm sure there will be other JUDDDers chiming in and giving you other advice soon. These are the greatest bunch of people anywhere on the internet!:love:
Good Luck!:jumpjoy:
Thanks PJ....
And your UD calories are just figured on a basic calorie calculator (input height/weight/age/activity level)?
I counted on UDs until I got to maintenance. There was a week or two during Weight Loss Mode (WLM) when I stopped counting UDs and gained back 4 pounds that I'd lost, so I immediately started counting again and continued to do so until maintenance.
When we first come to JUDDD, many of us have metabolisms that aren't working optimally, but for me, my time on JUDDD's WLM healed it or gave it a boost. Because during maintenance, I am now able to have what we call FDs (free days) where I don't count calories. I know most FDs I am going hundreds and hundreds of calories over what I allowed on WLM, and yet I no longer gain from it (and in fact, lose some). So what I'm saying is, even though it's a pain to count calories on UDs, for me it gave my body time to adapt and lose weight, and then boosted my metabolism to where I can eat and eat on FDs with no concern for calories and not gain.
You can eat how you want to on JUDDD. You can stay LC all the time, but many of us enjoy increasing carbs on UDs.
We try to eat up to our UD calorie limit or as close to it as we can. It seems to be important for healing our body's metabolism and giving us the great weight loss we want. If you continuously eat lower calories than your UD numbers, this will be no different than a "starvation" diet or what your body perceives as one - a diet of low calories day after day. That is not what JUDDD is.
Welcome again! :)
Thanks again, ladies, for all the input. I am excited to start, but I have to say....it seems sooooo weird to me to eat carbs. I think I'm almost afraid....anyone else have to retrain their brain?
My UD calories should be 1700-1900 based on two different calculators I found. I've NEVER counted calories, so that is going to be quite different for me too....I know I can do this though.
One final thought/question: Mealtimes w/ family. My hubby and DS10 obviously will not be joining me in my endeavor, and I don't want to "weird" them out on DD. Do you sit down w/ your family and just eat something within your 500 calorie range?
Thanks again, ladies. I really appreciate all the wisdom :)
Yes, you will catch on to calorie counting just as easily as you did carb counting. Soon, it will be a breeze. This was one of the things I thought would be overwhelming when I started JUDDD, but it soon becomes easy, easy.
In my maintenance, I have been able to stop counting UDs and have FDs, and still maintain (with what I think of as a JUDDD-healed metabolism) eating hundreds and hundreds of calories more than I did in WLM.
And on DD mealtimes, I would do one of several different things - either fix a regular meal and just have small small portions of the high calorie stuff they were having, or fix a regular meal for them and have my own DD foods. Or it would be a "fend for yourself" night for everyone, and they could make frozen pizzas, hot wings, sandwiches, quick dishes and foods like that.
:welcome: Jentri!
I'm in Fresno, so we're practically neighbors.
One thing I haven't seen mentioned is using a calorie counting app or website. I personally like ************, but there are others like ***********, etc. Most of us use them and it makes life so much easier. *** even has an app where you can use your phone to scan the barcode of whatever you're using and it will input all the nutritional information for you.
Also, I took a weekend off between LC and JUDDD and ate whatever I wanted. This resulted in a gain, but that was mainly the water that you lose on LC re-entering my liver and muscles. Then I weighed the first day and used that as my starting weight. I'm not suggesting this for you, but it really helped me not to stress out about the water weight with all the carbs. You may want to stay LC or not. That's the beauty of JUDDD. You can choose to eat whatever you want as long as you respect your calorie ceilings.
I was scared to death of DDs but have no problem with them now. As a matter of fact, my very first DD I was under 400 calories, so it's much easier than it seems (or it can be, some do struggle).
Anyway, keep on reading the threads, and asking whatever questions you have. Everyone here is very supportive!
Yes, Dawn, we are neighbors! :)
I do occasionally use ***********'s calorie counter....but will check out ************....the UPC scanning option sounds awesome.
Another question..(sorry). Do I start on an UD or DD, does it matter? Of course UD sounds like more fun after LCing for a year:)
One thing to be aware of too is this:
People always latch onto a phrase Dr. Johnson uses and misconstrue it. He says on UDs we can eat anything we want!!! That's so exciting. What a concept. And every word of it is true. BUT, his words were carefully chosen, because note that he didn't say we could eat AS MUCH AS WE WANT. He said anything. Not as much as we want. Big difference. LOL
He goes on in his explanations and keeps referring to our normal calories. Our *normal* calories. On our Up Days, we eat our normal calories, and our Down Day calorie figure is a percentage of our normal calories.
And what number does that *normal* number turn out to be? The figure we are given when we use his Calorie Calculator. So we are told on UDs to eat anything we want, and to eat our normal calories.
Does that explain and clarify?
I use ************ and it is great - I really, really dig the scanning option - it makes my life SO easy!!
:welcome: Jentri!
I will also have to retrain my brain. Plus I've always found it very hard to eat more than 1,200 calories. Yesterday I had about 1,600 and I should have 2,200. Not sure how I'm going to do that but I'll manage. Maybe weight loss will show with 1,800/500 :) great thread btw, good questions and even better answers!

They are! http://chainreactionblogs.com/diary/?p=757 Fri Nov 21 2:34:00 2014 / +0000 GMT http://chainreactionblogs.com/diary/?p=757 It might be a bit too warm for some later in the day, but it's darned near perfect the past couple of Tuesday & Thursdays at 7:45am at Olive Hill & Canada Road. Strange to think how much cooler, cold even, it's going to be in just a few weeks time. But for now, 62 degrees at the start, maybe up to the mid-70s by the time we get to "the other side" and you really can't complain. The regulars included Mike R, Eric, Chris, Marcos & John, with newer-guy Ludo (I think he rode with us once before?) and Harry, someone I see fairly often at the shop and did our ride some time ago (if I recall correctly). Harry wasn't sure about his speed up the hill so I suggested he leave a bit before us, and since it was 7:43 by the time he headed out, I wasn't going to be much of a lead so I expected to see him pretty quickly. The rest of us left exactly on time (verified by the GPS-enabled Garmin computer on my bike), as we always do. The fast guys took no prisoners this morning until waiting up for the rest of us at the park entrance (1/4 of the way up). And Harry? I didn't see Harry until just below the final steep part of the hill, same place we saw the deer on Tuesday. He's riding very well these days; I'm just thankful that he isn't in the growing club of riders older than I am who are also faster. Yet. He could get there soon. For today, he took honors for being the senior member of the tribe at 56, with me a couple years behind. The run down west-side 84 was a bit different than normal as the off-shore breeze kicked our speed up from the usual 29-31mph to as much as 38 at one point. But the most amazing display of speed was on the return through Woodside, when Chris went to the front and powered up to 29mph on Tripp Road. It was all I could do to hang onto his wheel, but I kept reminding myself that it's much harder trying to keep up if I let go of the wheel than it is if I stay close behind him. Earlier he had taken me on the Sky Londa sprint, and for the finale I didn't even contest it, he just rode away long before we got there. 757 2010-10-14 23:52:54 2010-10-15 06:52:54

I still think Tim Curry looks better.
It's time, she can afford the best and most beautiful and that's what she should wear.
She's becoming the Richard Simmons of the music world, and that is not a compliment.
Please don't insult Richard Simmons.
she's turning into cher when she was 50
All that money, access to the best and that is what she comes up with!!!! I'm so embarrassed for her….I was a fan………
What the hell is wrong with her? She is obviously desperate to look young and it is failing.. She looks like a desperate old lady….
whats the diff between madonna and bieber – she's got bigger muscles and takes steroids
There is something VERY deep in the Ciccone psyche going on here. The world's most famous sufferer of NPD (http://psychcentral.com/lib/2010/narcissistic-personality-disorder-in-depth/) must be in a very good place self-esteemwise as she is purveying her two Achilles' heels with this outfit.
(1) She is known to despise the size her thighs and much of her diet and gym focus has been on making them leaner. Now here they are the main focus of what I can only call a demi ensemble, (when Chanel advised taking something off before you leave the house, she did not mean removing the largest piece of clothing you have on).
(2) Her greatest knife to the heart moment was apparently when Guy Ritchie called her a drag queen. He must be hereafter known as The Prophet. So here she is empowering herself,by embracing her weaknesses and throwing insults back in the faces of her enemies.
She still shouldn't have left the frock on the bed though.
Didn't Guy say she looked like a piece of gristle ? I believe he did…..
He also said between all her workouts there was never time for them to be intimate …
I think she got overexcited by how everyone loved her outfit at the Met Gala, she took it a step further and it's a step too far.
Scarlett x
Tim is ROCKING the Stockings Madge is making me want to hurl and since I've just eaten a peanut butter and banana sandwich that would look just as ugly as her outfit.
Waits for the Madge Fans (nutters) to come along to defend their Queen but, I promise not to repeat myself, she's turning into an old fool. Damned right she has worked hard to maintain a great shape but even that is flawed. Remember the veiny hands and arms? She could look stunning if she toned down the look wore simple, elegant clothes that showed off her slim figure and yet she insists on wearing outfits that would still look horrendous on a tall, rail thin, teen model walking down the catwalk.
Oh she looks amazing! Let's forget about the face tweaking for a moment, if I look like that at her age I'd be going to asda in my hotpants!
Madonna and my mother-in-law are the same age.
That is all.

Woman Killed in Early Morning Accident
Updated On: Oct 24 2012 06:49:02 AM EDT
A Roseville woman, 21, has died after an early morning crash Wednesday in Detroit.
State police say the victim's car overturned on I-94 near Concord Avenue.
The driver was wearing a seatbelt.
Investigators said the roads were wet due to the rain, but haven't confirmed whether that played a part in the crash.
The investigation is continuing.

Cooks Illustrated Chewy Brownies
I just got the new Cooks Illustrated in the mail two days ago and they have a recipe for chewy (like boxed) brownies that involves veg oil. Has anyone tried these? There's also a video on the web site. I'm wondering if they're really chocolate-y or if the flavor is lacking when they focused on the texture. Please let me know if you've tried them. I'm thinking of making them for the Super Bowl tomorrow. Thanks!
I made these this afternoon, and I found them to taste very much like boxed brownies. Chewy and not very chocolate-ly. I was disappointed. It may be that I didn't chop up the bittersweet chocolate into small enough pieces, since some bites of the brownie were more chocolate-ly than others - so if you do make it, you may want to add more chocolate chunks or cut the chocolate into smaller pieces.
re: Eddie24
Thanks Eddie. I'm sad that they didn't live up to your expectations. I LOVE a good chewy brownie, but that they're not that flavorful doesn't bode well. I have a bag of peanut butter chips I was thinking of using instead of the chocolate chunks, but then it sounds like I won't have any chocolate flavor at all! I guess I'll stick with my normal recipe. Thanks for the helpful reply!
I read that article too. I've just started to like brownies. My bf made them a few times - betty crocker. Not so good. So I was excited to see chewy brownies in Cooks. Recipe was way too complicated. It inspired me to check out the baker's aisle at my local Shop Rite - If it's good enough for cook's illustrated staff, it's good enough for me. Pillsbury Milk Chocolate brownie mix. D-e-l-i-c-i-o-u-s!!!!
re: Snorkelvik
I didn't think the recipe was complicated - it's just one bowl and you don't even have to melt anything except the butter. Besides needing all the ingredients, seems just as easy as the boxes. Of course, Eddie says they weren't that great, so maybe the point is moot, but didn't seem that complicated to me.
re: jenhen2
You're right, the recipe isn't complicated. It's like jlunar said, the ingredient list is daunting for me. I don't have espresso powder, cocoa, unsweetened chocolate or bittersweet chocolate.
I'll keep my eye out for Ghirardelli Sweet Ground mix - that sounds great!
I saw that. Didn't love the ingredient list and neither do I like the taste of box-brownies. I quite enjoy the one-bowl brownie recipe though and have had good success (in taste-tests with fam and friends) with them.
To me, they're chewy enough and chocolately enough. And then you add some salted caramel... !
http://www.foodpr0n.com/ -- food. is. love.
re: adamshoe
I agree, if you're going to use a mix, Ghirardelli is the best. But almost as easy and certainly the best brownies I've ever made are from the Ghirardelli Sweet Ground Chocolate box --
they are amazing! Very simple to put together and everyone raves about them.
For those who have found these disappointing, have you tried Hershey's Best Brownies recipe? http://www.hersheys.com/recipes/recip... It is my never-fail, go-to brownie recipe. I was startled how easy it is. (I generally use better cocoa tho.) The recipe recommends an icing too; I don't think it's necessary, they're just fine on their own.
I fell in love with the Martha Stewart brownie recipe last year, it's in her newish baking book.
One bowl, and so fast and easy.
I like to double it and make it in a half-sheet pan. You end up with 24 good-sized brownies this way, or more smaller ones. And minimal fuss.
Another things I do is replace the 1 t. salt (the judicious amount of salt used here is part of the recipes success I think) with fleur de sel. I melt the salt in with the chocolate and butter before adding in the sugar, eggs, etc., and it leaves just the right amount of yummy crystals that you can't quite notice, but taste just devine.
May have to make a batch of these today!
Happy Super Bowl!!!
re: visciole
Do you have a recipe to recommend? I'm still looking. Thanks!
re: TerriL
Butting in here: Nick Malgieri's Supernatural Brownies is my no-fail brownie recipe. I like them fudgy (25 mins in a 13x9) but you can bake them a bit longer (30-35 mins) and they're quite chewy. No cocoa, no veg oil, just chocolate and butter. Made the CI chewy ones and to my taste they are not as good.
re: buttertart
Nick Malgieri's Supernatural Brownies are my no-fail recipe too!
As we speak, I have the CI recipe baking and Supernaturals cooling off for a Brownie-Off (tasting).
We shall see!
re: strumpet_1
I was going to do that - I gave the CI ones to a colleague who's had plenty of the others and he said they were the BMW to the supernatural's Mercedes-Benz. How did they come out in your comparison?
I use the Bakers chocolate brownies recipe but I converted it to use Ghirardelli 60% baking chocolate recipe. I use 1-1/2 bars of 60% chocolate and 1 cup of sugar, plus 1/4 tsp of salt. You might need 1/4 C. more flour , but the resulting brownies are very dense and fudgy if you don't overbake them.
If you need more of a chocolate fix you can add 1 C chocolate pieces to the batter and then top the cooled product with a quick food processor ganache of equal parts by weight of warm cream and chocolate pieces.
Tried them and couldn't stop eating them - after two days. The first day they were just okay, then the second day they miraculously tasted BETTER. The third day was perfect. Chocolate-y-ness guaranteed if you use high quality cocoa and high quality chocolate. I shaved the chocolate pieces very thin and tiny to evenly distribute and maximize the impact. Be forewarned, they are a lot of effort. I thought they were well worth the effort of at least trying them out.
re: CommonCentsForChange
I actually liked the CI chewy brownies. They do get better after they've completely cooled down.
re: petitgateau
This was my experience as well. The recipe says to let them cool for several hours, and for some reason, it really makes a difference. When I tried them a couple hours after pulling them from the oven, I wasn't that impressed. They were overly gooey and there wasn't much chocolate flavor.
The next day was a different story. The texture had firmed up, and the flavor improved greatly.
re: BrianJC
I made them yesterday. Last night they were so-so and not very chewy, but this morning they were much, much better! My personal taste is for not so much chocolate, so I would leave out the bittersweet chunks/shavings and add roasted and salted macadamia nuts instead.
I thought they were pretty simple to make, but they didn't wow me. I used Callebaut callets for the chunks, and think I would have liked the brownies better if the chocolate had been shaved. I did not like biting into a cold hard chocolate pellet, especially in a brownie advertised as chewy.

Stretch of NB I-275 in Canton reopens hours after hazmat spill
Updated On: Jun 21 2013 04:19:05 PM EDT
The northbound lanes of I-275 between Ford and Ann Arbor roads were closed for nearly 10 hours on Friday because of a hazmat situation.
Michigan State Police said a semi-truck began leaking a combustible resin -- or glue -- at about 7 a.m.
The stretch of roadway didn't reopen until 4 p.m.
No one was hurt.

CDC: Kids eat more fruit, but not enough
Children are eating more fruit -- but are still well below the recommended daily intake, according to a new report.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that kids aged 2 to 18 are eating more whole fruits and drinking less fruit juice.
That's an improvement because fruit juice is high in calories.
A Kansas State University human nutritionist said the changes are probably because of improvements to the WIC program.
WIC now provides money for whole fruits -- and less money to buy fruit juice.
Even though kids are eating more fruits -- they still aren't getting enough.
"We talk about five servings a day being pretty easy to accomplish," said Sandy Procter, KSU human nutritionist. "It may be easy, but we are not there, and so I think it's a good message for parents as they're preparing for back to school to realize that it's fairly simple to accomplish. We just have to plan ahead for it, and it really does make a difference."
The average American eats one serving of fruits a day and 1.3 servings of vegetables.
