Tips for making healthy food choices for you and the planet
Watch Your Waste
According to a recent study, the average American household wastes 14 percent of its food purchases. But it's not just the food that is being wasted -- all of the water and energy that went into producing, packaging and transporting the discarded food also goes to waste.
Most of this food waste ends up in landfills, where it releases methane pollution as it decomposes, further contributing to global warming.

When I turned the stylesheet off the only difference I noticed was a change in colour of the links and the google ads got bigger.

Nice design, Danny.
I have to agree with Blain about the tabular layout and lack of CSS. Believe me, I held out a long time on dropping the table layouts and concentrating on CSS, but now I could kick myself for waiting so long. Being able to edit the styles for an entire site by changing one file is terrific. Inspired by that gain, I've pulled repeating content (menus, footers) out of my HTML and put it them into separate files that can be loaded with a simpled PHP include. Things are much easier now.

From the very first day Android Wear was in the news, the Moto 360 has been "the one to wait for." Every time we posted a story about the G Watch or the Gear Live, the comments were populated with no fewer than a million people declaring their intention to wait for Motorola's round smartwatch. Well, the wait was a bit longer than expected, but the Moto 360 has finally arrived.
The new Moto X isn't available for purchase from Motorola's just yet, but the company is holding a promotion that will let anyone with a valid .edu email address get $50 off the regular price once it does go on sale. This applies for students, teachers, and alumni alike, similar to the last time Motorola offered up this discount for the previous model. Note, only one promotional code will work per email address, and there's a chance it won't go through if you jumped on this offer for the previous model.
Motorola, in a post to its official blog today, announced that the Moto 360 would be back in stock on its website beginning Tuesday, September 16th. What's more exciting, though, is the promise of pre-order for new products beginning the same day. Yes, that means the new Moto X.
But before you get too excited, only the Moto X Pure Edition (the unbranded, unlocked version), and the AT&T variant will be available for pre-order Tuesday.
Boost Mobile has announced that it is now pushing out the Android 4.4.4 over-the-air update to the Moto G. This release will bump users of the affordable handset up to the latest version of Android, bragging rights that plenty of more powerful handsets can't provide.
Android 4.4.4 is a bug fix update, so don't look for anything particularly exciting. Some stability issues and security vulnerabilities have been addressed, but that's not something that's really going to stand up after rebooting from the update.
CyanogenMod's custom ROM relationship with the original Moto X has been somewhat... tentative. First the general GSM and Verizon developer editions were given separate nightly builds, then came a unified ROM based on Motorola's Qualcomm S4-based phones, the Moto X and DROID Maxx. (Technically the DROID Mini and DROID Ultra, too, but there's no way to unlock the bootloaders on those.) Now all of the Moto X builds are being unified under a new download entry, codenamed "Ghost."
According to a CyanogenMod representative, the nightly ROMs under the "Ghost" codename should work with all of the available unlocked versions of the Moto X.
As a personal user of the DROID RAZR M, I've got to say that Motorola's 2012 line of branded DROIDs have held up remarkably well. That's due in no small part to frequent and relatively speedy updates. The latest one doesn't come with a new version of Android (they're running 4.4.2 at the moment), but it does have a few security enhancements and improvements to the default messaging app.
Users of the DROID RAZR HD, the DROID RAZR MAXX HD (which has nearly identical software), and the smaller DROID RAZR M should be seeing the updates presently.
The black leather Moto 360 is currently up on the U.S. Play Store, though it probably won't last long. After going out of stock pretty much immediately at launch several days ago, it is already listed as shipping September 22nd, a full two weeks from now. The gray leather variant remains out of stock.
Update #1 9/8/14 1:55pm PT: Aaaand it's gone.
Update #2 9/9/14 1:15pm PT: Back in stock.
Update: Motorola responded to Ars Technica's post on the same iFixit story to explain the battery discrepancy. According to the statement, 300mAh is a "minumum rating" for the battery manufactured by Pro-Power, while 320mAh is a more typical rating. (Batteries are much less precise in terms of capacity than, say, a RAM DIMM.) The mix-up reportedly stems from the fact that they simply didn't have room for both a minimum and maximum rating on the tiny label, and erred on the side of caution - after all, end users aren't really supposed to see it.
We all know the new Moto X is going to drop soon, and it's shaping up to be a fantastic phone. However, Motorola still has some last gen devices sitting around. What better way to get rid of them than to cut the price... a small price cut in this case. The Developer Edition Moto Xs for Verizon and GSM networks is now $399 instead of $449.

in spring.. i would say pretty close ... planting those babes outside in what is basically August.. might be very hard ... i would pot them up.. and grow them out in full bright shade for august ... and then plant them in the more forgiving fall ... warm days.. and cooler nights. ... win or lose.. consider it a learning process.. whether you win or lose. ... actually.... better idea... up pot half... plant out half.. and learn .... experiment ... BTW... full bright shade is better than indoors ... and dont forget to harden them off to sunlight.. before you plant them in sun .... ken |

That is the great advice I needed, ken. Thank you very much! |

First of all - welcome to the forum! Ken is right. July/August are not the months to plant out tender seedlings. Yours are so healthy-looking, it would be a shame to plant them out now when they'll just be stressed by extreme heat even if there's plentiful rain. Can you wait until September to plant them out? They need a shot at establishing their root systems prior to blooming next year. Planting out when conditions moderate in September gives the plants a better chance of surviving the extreme cold in winter. they have been growing on my windowsill They're currently growing indoors and will need time to acclimate to outdoor conditions. Do you have a prepared garden bed where they will be planted out? Or will they be set in containers to grow on? Generally perennials grown outdoors in containers need to be hardy to two zones colder than their zone hardiness in the ground in order to survive a Z6 winter. Plants grown indoors may suffer once they're set outdoors in a garden bed where they're exposed to predators (slugs, snails, etc.) /mm - there are lots of experienced gardeners on this forum who'd gladly offer suggestions & advice. Most need a bit more information about your plans before offering their expert ideas/recommendations. If it were me and those were my seedlings, I'd wait until mid- to late September before planting them out. Keep them watered and let them grow on through the hot summer indoors, develop more mature root systems and plant them out in a prepared bed when the weather cools. I currently have Dianthus/carnation, Baptisia australis/false indigo, lupine & Polemonium/Jacob's ladder seedlings waiting to be planted out. All were grown from seeds via winter sowing. They'll be allowed to grow on in containers until the weather cools before being planted in my garden beds. |
Or you could plant one and leave the rest to plant out in cooler weather. How else ya gonna "learn"? Why? Just to push the boundaries. To practice. To try it out just in case the other ones begin to decline before cooler weather. How to: after hardening it off, you can plant it late in the day, make sure it's watered really well, right before it rains, and, you'd have a fighting chance for it to survive. But only if you wanted to experiment. |
I would pot them in individual pots so that they will have grown their own individual root system by the time you plant them outside, making it easier to transplant them later on. |
Yes, 3 or 4 inch pots would be useful, particularly cheap plastic pots from plants you bought (recycling..and easy to break to get plants out intact) |
- Posted by marigold.mary none (My Page) on Tue, Jul 29, 14 at 13:23
I have some seed trays with deep insert cells arriving this week (2" x 2.25" x 3.25"). I also will build a simple cold frame in August. Is it better to put one or two seedlings into one of these cells each then into the cold frame for the winter? Or the previous advice to take outside in bright shade for August, then into the ground in September? You've all been so generous, thanks, I'm almost there. /mm |
1 per cell. |
I start most of my perennial seeds via wintersowing. Here in zone 5, that means they are still very tiny by the time the hot summer weather arrives. I pot them up and wait until Sept to plant them in their permanent location. This has always worked out well for me. |

CHANDRAPUR: Forest officials have initiated operations to capture two young cubs of a sloth bear, after their mother died after falling from a tree in Chichpalli forest range on Monday morning. The body of the bear was recovered on Monday morning.
Officials said that the bear had climbed up a tree near a waterhole in compartment no. 357 to eat honey from beehives and might have fallen during the wee hours. The forest labourers who sat overnight to monitor the waterhole saw the body of the bear in the morning. The two cubs of the dead bear were moving nearby. They immediately informed higher officers who rushed to the spot.
TATR field director Virendra Tiwari and Chandrapur forest division deputy conservator of forests P Kalyankumar inspected the spot. In a bid to rescue to two young cubs, the officers decided not to remove the body of the bear, expecting the cubs to return there. "The bear had an injury on its snout and one of its teeth was broken, suggesting that it had fallen from the tree. As the bear had two cubs aged around six months, we have decided to keep the body there to lure the cubs so that they could be rescued," Kalyankumar said.
He said that a trapping net has been installed overhead the carcass of bear and rescue workers are monitoring the scene. As soon as cubs reach the dead body, they will release the net to capture the cubs.

Rosati's Pizza's history dates back to the early 1900s, when a recent Italian immigrant named Ferdinand Rosati moved from New York to Chicago with the dream of opening a restaurant. His first attempt was modest—with Ferdinand simultaneously fulfilling the duties of chef, server, dishwasher, and host—but quickly gained popularity for its crispy-thin-crust pizzas, originally served as complimentary appetizers. Encouraged by the public's response to the pies, Ferdinand and his son, Sam, decided to focus their efforts on opening a true pizzeria.
Today, at Rosati's Pizza locations across the country, plumes of heat swirl above piping-hot pies concocted from handmade sauce and dough. A smattering of toppings cling to five crust options—crispy thin, double dough, Chicago-style, pan, and superstuffed—as well as hide from their hungry predators inside hand-rolled calzones. Homemade lasagna and fettuccine alfredo battle for the top pasta spot, and fried chicken, baby back ribs, and fried-shrimp dinners work together to distract diners from hard-to-resist buffalo wings.
At Yo Cool Frozen Yogurt, panels in the bright-blue walls reveal shiny chrome yogurt dispensers. Pull down a handle and fill your cup with rotating flavors that might include peanut butter, strawberry shortcake, and dutch chocolate. Then go wild and pile on as much candy, fresh fruit, and syrup toppings as your sweet tooth can handle. Mix angel-food-cake frozen yogurt with peppermint syrup, or hide gummy worms in your cake-batter yogurt. To combat the chill of your frozen dessert, pair it with a hot english-toffee coffee, apple cider, or chai latte, or just zip up your parka before every spoonful.
Tazinos Pizza & Salad Bistro provides patrons with a buffet-style smorgasbord of specialty pizzas, pastas, and salads. Already cooking at three locations, a fourth eatery in downtown Milwaukee is slated to open its doors this summer. Each casual restaurant revolves around an all-you-can-eat menu of fresh, nutritious Italian fare, including pizzas crafted from natural Wisconsin cheeses and dough that is kneaded onsite every morning using unbleached flour and absolutely no high-fructose corn syrup, trans fats, MSG, or magic beans. Pies range from classic pepperoni and authentic Italian margherita to the specialty Tailgater, topped with Klement's bratwurst, green peppers, brown mustard, and barbecue sauce. Salads, such as a sweet Asian-style slaw, and pastas, ranging from mac 'n' cheese to garlic-and-herb fettuccini, keep forks gainfully employed, and each meal is rounded out by a selection of soups, desserts, and spicy pepperoni rolls.
On Saturday and Sunday, Sunriza pizzas fend off the morning munchies with renditions of breakfast favorites in pie form. Topping choices include eggs and bacon, eggs ranchero, and morning-fresh veggies, and each slice may be enjoyed alongside other breakfast staples such as french toast, cereal, and mini cinnamon rolls.
Featured on Morning Blend and in the Journal Sentinel for its merger of nutritious eats and fat-busting workouts, Fit Food Trainer invites students into group classes led by certified personal trainers. Tone both tummies and rumps with Butts and Guts' muscle-firming drills, or turn the spotlight on stomachs with a Cardio Core class. Alternately, hands can hoist dumbbells and weighted balls at Bells and Balls, which took out its third component, Bills, after clients' check-signing hands kept cramping up.
Villaggio's authentic Italian cuisine and New York–style pizza fill out the menus with Tuscan flair. Unfold the lunch menu to furnish an empty stomach with endless homemade soup, Italian house salad, and warm homemade breadsticks ($6.50), or multitask with a BlackBerry in one hand and a sausage-and-mushroom calzone in the other ($6.99). Authentic Italian dinners at Villaggio harness the renewable energy of the tides with mussels di Napoli, simmered with white wine, garlic, butter, and onions ($7.99). Savory house specialties, include breaded eggplant parmesan dressed in marinara, parmesan cheese, and mozzarella ($10.99) and charcoal-grilled, balsamic-marinated pork chops served alongside garlic mashed potatoes ($12.99).

Yesterday, Pitchfork posted their top 200 tracks of the decade so far, and today they've listed the top 100 albums to have come out between 2010-2014. There's some surprises on there. For example, I didn't expect to see Bon Iver's self-titled, their #1 album of 2011 and with a score of 9.5, rank as low as #27 on this list. I was also surprised to see Chief Keef make it but not, say, Shabazz Palaces or Schoolboy Q. And there's a few other glaring omissions: nothing by The National? Grizzly Bear? One thing that will surprise no one though, is their #1 pick.

Rustie releasing a new album ft. Danny Brown, shares single "Raptor," going on tour (dates & stream)
by Andrew Sacher
Glasgow producer Rustie is releasing Green Language, the followup to his excellent 2011 debut album Glass Swords, on August 26 via Warp. He recently put out its promising lead single "Raptor" which is just what we've come to expect of Rustie; the maximalism of American dubstep and trap but with gorgeous melodies and a delicacy not typical of those styles. You can stream that track below. Also below is the album artwork and tracklist, which you'll notice includes a track with Danny Brown returning the favor from when Rustie produced a track on Old.
Rustie also has a North American tour coming up ahead of the new album's release which hits NYC on July 25 at Webster Hall. That's a Girls & Boys party and also features G&B regulars Alex English and rekLES. Tickets for that show are on sale now.
In related news, Lone who Rustie featured on his 2012 Essential Mix, has a new album and tour too.

Much like the Merge label, Warp Records is ringing in its 25th anniversary this year. The lauded electronic label will celebrate with the Warp25 on September 14, 19, and 20 at Krakow, Poland for three special engagements.
The first (9/14) will be Squarepusher assembled chamber arrangements featuring Sinfonietta Cracovia that will interpret the works of Squarepusher and modern classical composers Messiaen, Xenakis, and Ligeti. The second (9/19) showcases the London Sinfonietta reworking Aphex Twin and Boards of Canada compositions, along with John Cage and Steven Reich.
The finale (9/20) is the the Warp25 blowout, sporting a bill of Autechre, Battles, Bibio, Darkstar, Hudson Mohawke, LFO (the first one), Patten, Plaid DJs, and Rustie. This will be Battles first live show in nearly three years, debuting brand new material and will be their only show of 2014. Autechre (the duo of Rob Brown and Sean Booth) will likewise be playing their first live show in nearly three years, debuting lots of new material, and it's their only gig this year.
Tickets for all three Warp25 events are on sale now (the ticket site's in Polish, be warned). There's also an official Warp25 Spotify Playlist and you can check out the full lineups below. See you in Poland!
The one name on Warp's roster that pretty much everyone would like to hear from again is Aphex Twin. While we wait for him to release something new (it could happen, just ask Kevin Shields), one of the lost treasures from his discography, the Caustic Window LP, is finally seeing a release thanks to a music forum, Kickstarter, and 4,116 contributors.
Caustic Window, one of Richard D. James's many recording aliases, cut a few EPs in the early '90s for Rephlex that were later collected on Compilation. According to Mike Paradinas -- the guy behind µ-Ziq and operator of Planet Mu records -- there were plans for a full Caustic Window album:
In the interview, Mike described the tracks in detail, and went on to explain that only 4 people at the time were known to have a vinyl test pressing of the album - Richard James, Chris Jeffs (aka Cylob), Grant Wilson-Claridge (co-founder of Rephlex Records) and Mike himself. Each person was sworn to never make copies of the music, and for 20 years, not a single track had ever been commercially released (with the exception of two tracks that appeared on compilations).Then, out of nowhere, the record hit the Discogs marketplace. The We Are the Music Makers forum rounded up resources, got in touch with Rephlex for digital distribution rights, set up a Kickstarter, and $67,424 later there's new/old, old/new Richard D. James music out in the world. And the effort to make it available was worth it. Caustic Window, streaming below from a YouTube upload, falls in the middle of early Analogue Bubblebath installments and Hangable Auto Bulb. Of course, in typical James fashion, there's plenty that has little precedence at all. The physical copy is currently listed on eBay, with the winning bid split between James and a charity.
The full Warp25 lineup along with the Caustic Window stream appears below....

The goal of the Everything is New project is to empower the children of Light of Love Children's Home, many of whom have been rescued from bonded labour, child prostitution, homelessness and abject poverty. The project creates the opportunity for the children to 'star' in the cultural forms they themselves consider most meaningful - popular music and cinema.The Everything is New project has resulted in two albums, both of which are out January 20: Sun Choir, which was composed and recorded by Scottish art-pop band Marram with the kids of Southeast India's Light of Love Children's Home and features guest appearances from Jarvis Cocker, Owen Pallett, Irvine Welsh and more; and BOATS where artists such as Four Tet, Rustie, Dan Deacon, YACHT, Bear in Heaven, Deerhoof's Greg Saunier, Max Tundra, Gang Gang Dance and more took samples of the children and built songs around them.
Proceeds from the project go to the charity Scottish Love in Action which feeds, clothes, houses, educates and provides medical care for over 500 children through the Light of Love Home and School. You can stream Rustie, YACHT, Jarvis Cocker and Four Tet's tracks below.
There's also a 70-minute feature film that's included with physical copies of the Sun Choir album. You can watch a short and a not so short making of videos below...
The 2014 SXSW Festival is coming up soon -- March 11 - 16 in Austin, Texas -- and they've just announced the third round of showcasing bands which is a massive update. That includes Mary Timony's Ex Hex (who we just speculated about), Dum Dum Girls, Natural Child, Ratking, Buffalo Daughter, Action Bronson, Perfect Pussy, Nothing, Windhand, Angel Olsen, Sharon Van Etten, Vic Mensa, Deniro Farrar, Roosevelt, Pure Bathing Culture and a whole lot more. Full list of third round bands is listed below.

Rapper Danny Brown has been planning the release of his much-anticipated new album, Old, for some time now, and the whole thing can finally be streamed via Spotify. Check it out below.
The album features appearances from Purity Ring, Schoolboy Q, A$AP Rocky, Ab-Soul, Freddie Gibbs, and more, plus production from Rustie, Darq E Freaker, Oh No (who plays NYC tonight [9/30]), A-Trak, and more. It officially comes out on October 8 via Fool's Gold.
Danny is currently wrapping up a tour with Action Bronson and Trash Talk (who played their own show at 285 Kent over the weekend), and he'll play NYC again when he opens for Sleigh Bells at Terminal 5 on November 22 with Doldrums. Tickets for that show are still available. Danny also would have played NJ's Rock The Bells this weekend, but that's been cancelled.
Album stream below...

Swans / Solange / fans
Soft spoken indie rockers Belle and Sebastian were a reprieve of sorts to festival goers who had spent the day seeing abrasive rock bands and the eardrum-shattering Swans set earlier in the afternoon (I forgot to bring earplugs...). A slight drizzle started around the band's fourth or fifth song but did not cut the show short like yesterday. Frontman Stuart Murdoch charmed audience members with his kind words, stating Chicago is much more relaxing than New York. Murdoch also engaged with audience members, inviting fans on stage, and even letting one fan draw on his face with mascara. Despite performing in a large festival setting during the headlining slot, the band managed to play one of the most intimate shows of the day. [BV Chicago]Pitchfork Music Festival 2013 continued on Saturday (7/20) with its second of three days. Day two featured a good deal of bands on the heavy/intense side including Swans, Savages, Metz, Pissed Jeans, and White Lung; some indie legends like Belle & Sebastian, Low, and The Breeders; and some representation from the electronic/R&B world too, including Solange, Rustie, Andy Stott, and Ryan Hemsworth. Of course there were even more artists rounding out the lineup, and pictures from the second day are in this post. Even more are on BV Chicago.

Glasgow producer Rustie, whose 2011 debut LP, Glass Swords, is one of the better melodic dance albums in recent memory, and whose 2013 single, "Triadzz" b/w "Slasher," is a very worthy successor, is coming over to North America for Pitchfork Music Festival in July, and while he's here, he'll be playing a few dates of his own too. One of those dates happens in NYC on July 24 at Output (74 Wythe Ave) with Oslo producer Cashmere Cat. Tickets for that show are on sale now.
In addition to Rustie's own material, he's also doing some production for the much-anticipated Danny Brown album. We haven't heard any of the recording they've done together yet, but Danny did debut a Rustie-produced track at Coachella.
It's also not a bad idea to head to Output tonight (6/27) to catch Prefuse 73.
All Rustie dates are listed, along with a stream of his newest single, and streams of Cashmere Cat's remixes of Miguel and Jeremih, below...

Danny Brown at Roseland, October 2012 (more by Brook Bobbins)
Danny Brown has a string of dates with Bauuer that kick off in April, but shortly thereafter you can see the MC continue his trek, turning those dates into part of a full North American Jaunt. Though Bauuer won't join DB for all of those dates, he has enlisted Kitty (she dropped the "Pryde") for the tail end of the tour that will include an NYC stop at Irving Plaza on May 7. Ticketing info is on the way.
Not only is Danny Brown returning to the road, he has ALSO returned to the booth too! He recently dropped the new track "#Hottest MC," a new Harry-Fraud blessed burner due on his forthcoming LP Old. Look for the LP to feature a grip of homies as well, including Purity Ring, A$AP Rocky, Schoolboy Q, Ab-Soul, Rustie, Kitty and more. All tour dates are listed, along with a stream of "#Hottest MC," are below.

Rustie, who plays new Brooklyn club Output on Thursday (3/7), is releasing a new two-track EP, "Triadzz"/"Slasherr" on March 18 via Numbers. You can stream "Slasherr" from that EP below.
What else?
As mentioned this past January, Williamsburg got a new, 452-capacity dance club, Output at 74 Wythe Ave by N. 12th St. We weren't sure exactly what types of "techno, house and other EDM styles" would be booked at the venue, but we're happy to report that they've already got some great shows coming up, as part of their weekly Thursday party, INPUT.
Tonight (2/28), Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs is DJing the venue with Rory Phillips and Nick Hook. Tickets for tonight's show are available.
We already mentioned that Shlohmo's tour with D33J hits the venue on March 7, but that show is even better than we knew then, because Rustie, Jackmaster, and Oneman are on it too. Tickets for that show are on sale now.
Then on March 14, Maxxi Soundsystem will play with Compuphonic, Plastic Plates, and Let's Play House's Jacques Renault (tickets). Meanwhile, there's a Let's Play House party happening this Friday (3/1) at Le Bain with DFA Records DJ Shit Robot and Eug.
The Night Slugs crew is hitting the venue on March 21 for a great show which features Bok Bok, Kingdom, L-Vis 1990, Girl Unit, Mike Q, Rizzla, and a live set from Teengirl Fantasy collaborator Kelela. Tickets for that one are on sale now.
You can stream a Rustie track below...
Today Pitchfork posted the first half (well, first 30 albums) of their Top 50 Albums of 2012 list. There are some surprises on it, like Peaking Lights and Sharon Van Etten, who seemed more likely to end up on their Honorable Mentions list due to their relatively lower scores and the fact that most of the albums on this list were awarded Best New Music throughout the year. Cat Power and Hot Chip also make it, both of whose new albums seemed to have received less love from Pitchfork than previous releases by those artists. A Rustie Essential Mix also makes the list even though his actual album which came out last year didn't make their 2011 list. And of course the expected ones end up there too like Purity Ring, Julia Holter, Schoolboy Q, Miguel, and more. The remaining 20 will be revealed tomorrow (Friday, 12/21).
Check out their 50-30 picks below...
Thom Yorke at The Wooly - 9/7/12 (via non_equivalents)
Thom Yorke came to NYC over the weekend and DJed a Fashion Week party for Rag & Bone (whose co-designer Marcus Wainwright is a friend of Thom's) at The Wooly on Friday (9/7). A picture of Thom during his set at the Belvedere Vodka-sponsored party is above. Aziz Ansari was in attendance too.
Thom also, as discussed many times, did an Atoms for Peace DJ set for the final installment of this summer's Warm Up at MoMA PS1 with AFP bandmate and Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich. Atoms for Peace just announced that their new album will come out next year, and to open their set, Thom and Nigel performed three new tracks that will presumably end up on that album with Thom singing live. You can watch videos of two of those new songs, and listen to audio of the third below. After the short unexpected live performance, Thom returned to the boards for the remainder of the show and spun a variety of tunes (everything from Talking Heads to Azealia Banks).
Thom Yorke & Nigel @ MoMA PS1 - 9/8/12 (via rebeccataylorny)
The rest of the lineup at Warm Up was great too. Despite a crazy storm, the show went on, opening with a set by Justin Strauss. Then Maria Minerva, who also did a Fashion Week show, just released new album, Will Happiness Find Me (stream it), and who now lives in Brooklyn (after moving from Estonia to London), played a live set. You can catch her in NYC again at Glasslands on Friday (9/14) with Father Finger and Octo Octa (tickets).
Up next was Holy Other, finally making his NYC debut, after having to cancel shows last summer due to illness. The elusive producer, who in a recent interview with Stereogum said he was "going to feel naked" performing outdoors during the day, played material off his excellent recently released debut LP, Held, and 2011's With U EP as well. A video from his set is below. The MoMA PS1 show fell in the middle of his tour with Amon Tobin, which hits the NYC area on Thursday (9/13) at Wellmont Theatre (tickets) and Friday (9/14) at Hammerstein Ballroom (tickets).
Before Thom Yorke and Nigel Godrich finally took the stage, we were graced with one more set, this time by Scottish producer Rustie, who played Webster Hall with Flosstradamus and Brenmar the night before (9/7). He dropped bass heavy tunes that got the crowd going pretty wild. A couple videos from his Webster Hall show are below (unfortunately, the sound cuts out about halfway through).
Check out all those videos below...
by Andrew Sacher
We've mentioned a few times that Scottish beatmaker Rustie, who released his great debut LP, Glass Swords, last year on Warp, will be in NYC to play Warm Up at MoMA PS1 on September 8 with Thom Yorke/Atoms for Peace (DJ set), Holy Other, Maria Minerva, and Justin Strauss (tickets). Now Rustie has revealed that the show is part of a short tour that Rustie will be on, which also includes a show at Webster Hall on September 7 for a Girls & Boys party with Flosstradamus and Brenmar. Tickets for that show are on sale now. All Rustie tour dates are listed below.
Rustie also recently teamed up with Aluna Francis, the vocalist of UK R&B duo AlunaGeorge (who put out the great You Know You Like It EP earlier this year) to give vocal treatment to the track "After Light" from his Glass Swords LP. The dubstep meets cool-R&B approach of the collaboration hits a similar spot that SBTRTK's vocal collabs do, and if Rustie continues in that direction he may end up as massive -- especially if there's enough demand for his Webster Hall show (you'll remember that his last NYC gig was at the much smaller Santos Party House). Rustie did a similar reworking of his album track "Surph" earlier this year, when Nightwave added vocals to the song.
Streams of the vocal-assisted versions of "After Light" and "Surph," and a list of all dates are below.

Cookies for Kids' Cancer GIVEAWAY!
September 6, 2014 at 4:03 pm | Posted in other stuff | 6 CommentsTags: giveaway
Be a good cookie. That's a real motto for life, don't you think? It was also the message behind an event for Cookies for Kids' Cancer that the good folks at OXO, their strong partner and supporter of good cookies, and the lovely Dorie Greenspan invited me to last Tuesday night. I was thrilled to chat with Dorie (she also gave a baking demo), to flip through her amazing new book, Baking Chez Moi (which is coming out next month– get it!), to drool over OXO's awesome Chelsea test kitchen and to fiddle with some of their latest baking gadgets (I went out the very next day and got myself a spiffy baker's dusting wand). Most importantly I got to learn more about Cookies for Kids' Cancer, which provides research grants to some of the nation's leading pediatric cancer centers to advance the development of less toxic, more effective treatments for children battling cancer.
I want to do at least a small part to help spread the word about Cookies for Kids' Cancer and Pediatric Cancer Awareness Month (that's this month), so I'm going to give two lucky winners both an OXO Good Cookie Spatula and a copy of Gretchen Holt-Witt's book Cookies for Kids' Cancer: All the Good Cookies! The sale of both these items helps raise money for pediatric cancer research.
Just leave a comment (one per person, please) on this post before 5:00 pm EST on Wednesday, September 10 and I'll randomly choose two winners from the list. Be sure your e-mail address is correct so I can contact you if you win! **I'm really sorry, but I can only make this giveaway open to U.S. residents.**
You can see heaps of photos from Tuesday's event here. Visit the Cookies for Kids' Cancer site to learn more about the organization and to get involved. Also, if you're looking for some new kitchen toys (like a baker's dusting wand, perhaps?), OXO will make a donation to the initiative from the sales of select baking items.
***Giveaway Winner Update: I used random.org to generate random comment numbers to find the winners. Congratulations to Becky and Stephanie. I'll be in touch and sending your items soon!***
The Cookie Dough Lover's Cookbook GIVEAWAY!
June 1, 2012 at 5:40 pm | Posted in other stuff | 46 CommentsTags: giveaway
Every Thursday at the shop, I make ginormous batches of all our cookie doughs. And I totally eat ginormous amounts of cookie dough, too! I'd like to say that I do it in the name of quality control, but really it's a lack of self control. Cookies-in-the-raw just may be better than baked ones. I clearly have no problem snacking on raw eggs (although now that I put it that way…), but if you so deprive yourself, then you'll be happy to see The Cookie Dough Lover's Cookbook by Lindsay Landis, who also writes the gorgeous food blog Love and Olive Oil. She has ingeniously concocted an eggless cookie dough that isn't meant to be baked, but used raw, as an ingredient or an out-of-the-bowl snack. Now I normally take my dough straight up, but I'm amazed by the diversity of recipes in this book…candy made from cookie dough, cakes, pies, puddings, breakfast stuff (what?!). And, of course, there is ice cream…ice cream that is calling–no, screaming–my name. All of this is gorgeously photographed…proof that these things are real and not just in my dreams!
The very kind folks from Quirk Books gave me a copy of this cookbook, and now I want to give one of you a copy, too. Maybe we can make Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream together next weekend?? What do you say? Just leave me a comment (one per person, please) on this post before 5:00 pm EST on Thursday, June 7 and I'll randomly choose a winner from the list. Be sure your e-mail address is correct so I can contact you!
***Giveaway Winner Update: I used random.org to generate a random comment number to find the winner. It selected comment 11, so congratulations to Tina. I'll be sending your book soon!***
Baking with Julia BOOK GIVEAWAY!
January 15, 2012 at 3:34 pm | Posted in other stuff | 55 CommentsTags: giveaway
Next month, Tuesdays with Dorie is diving full-force into Baking with Julia by Dorie Greenspan. Have you signed up? If not having the book is keeping you from getting onboard, then I want to help. I'm giving away one brand-new copy of Baking with Julia before the group gets going with the first two recipes.
Just leave me a comment (one per person, please) on this post before 5:00 pm EST on Monday, January 23 and I'll randomly choose a winner from the list. Be sure your e-mail address is correct so I can contact you!
***Giveaway Winner Update: I used random.org to generate a random comment number to find the winner. It selected comment 32, so congratulations to Emily. I'll be sending your book soon!***
Spiced Squash, Fennel and Pear Soup for a Celebration!
October 24, 2010 at 12:14 am | Posted in french fridays with dorie, groups, other stuff, savory things, soups | 20 CommentsToday is a special day for one of my favorite cookbook authors…it's Dorie Greenspan's birthday! Happy birthday, Dorie! A few TWDers and FFWDers have put together a sort of virtual progressive dinner party, all made from Dorie's new book, Around my French Table, to celebrate.
I chose to take on a soup course, and made her Spiced Squash, Fennel and Pear Soup. I'm no stranger to squash soup, and usually I'll use a butternut, but a crazy lumpy, bumpy golden hubbard caught my eye at the market and wound up coming home with me. I've never made squash soup with the additions of pear and fennel before…they brought a delicious sweetness to the pot. Don't forget to toast up your squash seeds as garnish. This is a great, warming soup that gets even more flavorful the next day.
For the recipe for this delicious soup, see page 80 of Around my French Table by Dorie Greenspan. Holly from Phe.MOM.enon worked hard to coordinate this party, and will have the whole round-up on her site!
Last night…
September 1, 2010 at 5:39 pm | Posted in around NYC, other stuff | 4 Comments…my husband and I had the most wonderful dinner, part of a series of coast-to-coast outdoor events put on by Outstanding in the Field. They stretch their long, white-clothed tables through some of the most dramatic landscapes around North America. This one being in the middle of New York City, they set up camp in a community garden on the Lower Eastside. Even though it lacks the wide-open spaces of some of their other dinners, they still managed to make it look so magical that I forgot it was 90-somethingº outside!
Or maybe it was really all the Long Island wine that made me forget the heat!
The locally-sourced food was cooked by Chef Bill Telepan, and we shared it family-style. I'm sorry I didn't get any pictures of the food, but I was too busy, eating drinking and making new friends!
A new look and a new address
October 21, 2009 at 4:38 pm | Posted in other stuff | 21 CommentsDid you notice my new header? I felt like a change…I hope you like it! Alyson from seventy and sunny did the work for me. I think she did a wonderful job coming up with something perfectly cute and eyecatching…and while it's totally different from what I had before, it still works with my existing blog design. I love it!
Also, I've decided to shorten my URL (typing "awhiskandaspoon" is long enough on its own, right?) and get my own domain name. You can now find me at www.awhiskandaspoon.com
Catch you on the flip side
October 23, 2008 at 7:34 am | Posted in other stuff | 19 CommentsI'm so sorry that I don't have time to go through many of the TWD and The Cake Slice posts this week. Why does moving have to turn so chaotic, no matter how organized you try to be? The organization thing flew out the window when we lost the folder with all of the moving details…somehow it was absorbed into the vortex of crap that has become our apartment, and has not reappeared.
When I packed up my sweaters and coats for the trip home, it completely sank in that I'm getting jipped out a summer here! Oh well, those raspberries and nectarines will taste that much sweeter when I finally see them again. It will be good to home, though. I've missed my friends, I'm looking forward to a proper Thanksgiving and a chilly Christmas, and I'm so excited to VOTE!! It will be awhile before we are really settled, unfortunately…we'll be in temporary housing for a month or two while we look for our own place. I'm not sure what to expect as far as the kitchen situation there goes. I'm bringing a bare minimum of cooking equipment in my luggage to hopefully get by on more than just takeout.
I'll really miss Sydney. I'll miss the beaches, the (generally, although not at this moment) sunny weather, the wonderful food, the Aussie sense of humor. I'll also miss the everyday excitement of living abroad. It's been fun to pick up on the cultural differences (some subtle, some not), to get used to a vocabulary that's quite a bit different, and to find all kinds of wonderfully unexpected things around every corner! I think for most people a trip to Australia is a dream vacation–once in a lifetime, if that. It's pretty neat that I got to live here for almost two years…
We get on the plane, bound first for my parent's house in Seattle for a few days, tomorrow. So I'll try and check back next week. In the meantime, I've put up a small set of Sydney photos on my Flickr page– check them out if you're interested.
Emptying Out the Cupboards
October 1, 2008 at 4:02 pm | Posted in other stuff | 31 CommentsDear readers, there is something I have known about for a couple months now, and have neglected to share with most of you. And that's not right. You need to know.
Seems R and I will be leaving Sydney and moving back to New York at the end of this month. I have mixed feelings about it, and I guess that's to be expected. Of course I've missed my good friends, my neighborhood of eleven years, and the city itself. But being here, especially over the past few months, has been like living in some sort of suspended reality. We have had a fine time traveling recently, and are now doing our best to enjoy the last of our days here in Sydney. It's not to say that we haven't been affected by what's going on, economically-speaking, in the States–in fact that's the reason we're leaving. Reality will certainly hit us in the face when we get back home. Where will we live? That will be a scramble. Will be both find jobs? I'm not so sure.
There's little we can do about either of these things from half a world away, so I've been trying to concentrate on what's right in front of me, and not stress too much about November. One important task at hand is to use up the food in the house (including my huge dried herb and spice collection). So forgive me if I come up with some wacky combos over the next few weeks, or if I do some weird ingredient substitutions for TWD. I'm just trying to empty out the cupboards.
Did I mention the saddest thing about leaving? It's Sydney itself. I like it here, and although I knew we wouldn't stay forever, I'm not ready to leave just yet.
What do you think?
July 26, 2008 at 8:47 pm | Posted in other stuff | 24 CommentsNotice my new look? Big change, right? What do you think? I love it, but I can't take the credit. Nope, that goes to Jess from Delicious Design Studio (although you may know her from All Things Cupcake or The Tattooed Mama). I don't have a clue what CSS is, or even stands for, but luckily I had the good sense to find someone who does.
Since I've managed to keep at this blog thing for more than a year now, I felt it deserved a fancy new dress. Jess whipped up something that's just my style. And as an unexpected plus, I think that having a great-looking template makes my photos look better. Maybe it will trick you into thinking my words are better, too! Thanks, Jess!!

Good morning. I'm David Greene. You ever wonder why it took a big snowstorm to close school and on beautiful, sunny days there we are sitting in a classroom? Well, enter Bob Sampson. He's the principal at Bellingham Christian School in Washington state and he canceled school today to, quote, "celebrate an exceptionally nice day." The forecast there: 68 and sunny. No resentment here in the dark studio, all of us at work. Nope, not jealous, because it's always sunny at MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

I have one and absolutely love it! There will be people that knock it because of it's single stack mag capacity, but it's a great gun! They're getting harder to find and the prices are getting comparable to used P226s. If you can find one for under $400, I would say snag it. If it's much over $400, then you might as well go with the P226.
There you go! Trade off that AK! That Sig is sexier too.
Tomorrow morning I'm going to get it. That is if they have it. I'm kinda stoked.
Dude. Take a shower with it. It's purdy.
Saw your other thread about the P6 for sale for $350. That's a pretty good deal, even if it's seen a little wear. Check the guys out at Customized Creationz and they do a lot of refinishing for the P6s. They have some really good photos on their website.
get one, while you still can. The german Bundespolizei has just switched, or is still in the process, from the Sig Sauer P6 to the HK P30 as new duty sidearm. But the gun grabbers here in germany got the politicians to request the feds, not to sell the old P6`s, but to srapp them, so they don`t get into the hands of civialians, specially here in germany. Therefor, P6`s will become much more rare, then they already are now and I guess will also increase in price.
Its mine!! Just have to wait til Friday to pick it up. I was $20 bucks short. What a joke huh? $20
Well at least you've got it held back so someone else doesn't grab it. Looking forward to photos when you get it.

Hello booklover. Great to meet you. My husband, 2 year old and I just moved to Rockford, IL. I have to older kids, 23 and 20 but not living with me. I am glad to finally find an atheist around here.
I think your daughters name is beautiful -- I love the name Hope.
Hope you are having a good week.
See ya around the site.
My friend said we've already been to the Stockholm Inn a few years back. I think that's where I bought the straw goats for my mom.
Some people in Sweden have an odd obsession with their goat
Straw goat vandalized for 23rd time.
I like it!
I'll have to let my friend know about it when we get our monthly haircut. I suspect July will be busy at Jim's barber. People pull up in little Shriner cars, and gaggles of kids stream out, and into the little barber shop. Fun fun fun!
Coffee went up a nickle? Why those good for nothing robbers!
See? I can fit right in!
Holy buckets you're right, I'm listed #7 top member! Wow, I gotta quit that, or I'll blow my anonymity ;-)
I go to Rockford every month. My friend and I get our hair cut at Jim's Barber in Machesney Park on Hwy #251. After that we head to Rockford for breakfast, shopping, or whatever. Maybe we can do breakfast sometime? We need new places to eat!
Hi there,
It's funny, I saw your house picture and thought "that looks like a house in the town where I grew up" in Quincy IL. The I looked on your page and your in Rockford. That wasn't too far off.... Welcome to nexus.
Greetings, booklover! I'd like to invite you to a group where we talk about anything on our minds, Hang With Friends. :D
Hi Booklover, and welcome to this rational world of Internet atheism---a haven from the superstitions and fictional god of the masses.
"Well-founded common sense inevitably leads to atheism."
We invite you to make good friends by joining the busy group "ORIGINS: Universe, Astronomy, Life, Earth, Humans, Religion, Gods, Atheism, Evolution, Darwin..." with its 460 discussion topics and 2600 members.

on March 11, 2013"I love sherry and I wish it were utilized more in cocktails. The Bamboo is a classic cocktail, and kind of an 'old-mannish' drink, a bit on the drier side. The original recipe was just dry vermouth and dry sherry with a dash of bitters, but I make it a little more modern and approachable by splitting it in equal parts dry vermouth and sweet vermouth. I use Noilly Prat because it's got some great rosemary and lavender flavors to it. This is a great aperitif cocktail, a sort of gateway cocktail into sherry and sherry-based cocktails. Rather than just one type of bitters I use a dash of orange and a dash of Angostura for undertones of cloves, cinnamon and richer spices as well as orange essence. The lemon twist adds some aromatics, and gives the drink some brightness without actually adding juice into the cocktail.
Definitely go for a drier sherry. Oloroso might be too dry, but I really like Pedro Ximenez and Lustau or an Amontillado sherry. There are some creamy sherrys that can work, but you have to know how they play with the other ingredients so you'd have to tweak the proportions slightly." Ryan McGrale, Tavern Road, Boston
The Perfect Bamboo
Combine all ingredients in a mixing glass. Add ice. Stir to incorporate. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass with a pitted olive placed at the bottom of the glass. Peel one lemon twist and disperse lemon oil over the top of the glass. Rub porous side around lip of glass. Discard twist and serve.
Editor's note: While it's not altogether crucial to use two different types of bitters for this drink, it will yield a more complex flavor profile.

document.implementation.createDocument in Chrome&Safari
As I expected, Chrome (which I believe is based very much on the WebKit project engine, same as Safari) is not able to return correctly an XML document as object on using the document.implementation.createDocument() method.
The only workaround I have found is to use an AJAX request based on the XMLHttpRequest object.
My question is:
Do you know other workaround to load XML documents as objects on Safari & Chrome as well as in the other browsers?

Hey kor,
I am far far from being any kind of expert when it comes to Ajax and XML.
I have only utilized xmlHTTPRequests a few times (good stuff btw imo).
I dont know if this has any information that is relevant to this issue beings it looks like its kinda for IE (I think, reply's on the page talk about using it in other browser so who knows).
Dean Edwards wrote up this little blog about XML data islands.
Might this be of any interest?

Something like this maybe?
Code is from the off the top of my head, think I got it right.Code:var xmlObj = new DOMParser().parseFromString(xmlString, "text/xml");
There is another way with createDocument, something like this
Again, wrote it here. Been awhile since I played with this.Code:var xmlElem = document.createElement("xml"); xmlElem.innerHTML = xmlString; var xmlObj = document.implementation.createDocument("temp", "", null); for(var i=0; i<xmlElem.childNodes.length; i+=1) { xmlObj.importNode(xmlElem.childNodes.item(i), true); }

Thanks ubh and A1ien51 for the responses. Yes, A1ien51, those might be good alternative, as in fact Chrome & Safari create something with document.implementation.createDocument(), but I suspect they create strings, not objects.
I will test to see if a parser could solve that.
Thanks again!

I am currently using Centos 6. I want to use the latest version of libvirt (libvirt 0.9.4). The machine already has libvirt 0.8.1 installed . I did yum remove libvirt to remove the existing libvirt and I compiled 0.9.4 from source using :
./configure --prefix=/

After the installation is complete, I wanted to use the virsh interface. Once I enter virsh , I get :
virsh /lib/libvirt.so.0: version 'LIBVIRT_PRIVATE 0.8.1' not found (required by virsh)
Can somone let me know how to solve this issue? Correct me if I am doing something wrong. Thanks a lot !

Phi Theta Kappa
The International Honor Society of the Two-Year College
Tillamook Bay Community College and Phi Theta Kappa bring you the Beta Delta Epsilon Chapter of PTK. We serve to recognize and encourage the academic achievement of accomplished students and we provide opportunities for individual growth and development through fellowship, leadership, scholarship and service.
Pam Stanfield President |
Hello fellow students at Tillamook Bay Community College (TBCC). I would like to introduce myself. My name is Pam Stanfield. I was born and raised in a small Eastern Oregon town and relocated to Tillamook about three years ago with my husband, Bill, and my daughter, Shelby. I have grown to love Tillamook for its beauty and unpredictable weather. I started attending TBCC in the fall of 2012. I am learning very valuable information that is going to help shape my future as a Substance Abuse Counselor. I have made many wonderful friends here at TBCC. The staff and the students have been there to help me and encourage me to do my best and to reach my goals. I would love to be able to give back some of that kindness and compassion that has been so freely given to me here at TBCC by being your 2014-2015 PTK President. My advice to students would be to work hard and NEVER give up! |
Vice President |
Judith Lobato Secretary |
Brenda Velazquez-Villa Treasurer |
I've lived in Tillamook for 11 years. I am currently studying to become a nurse. I will be transferring to Concordia University after graduation. I chose TBCC because I wanted to be close to my family. I joined PTK because I wanted to experience new things and become more active with students. Some advice that I would give to new students would be to do as many scholarships as they can, and to enjoy the experience of college. |
Public Relations |
My family moved to Tillamook when I was two years old, so I've been here for about 17 years. I am in my second year at Tillamook Bay, and I am pursuing my Associate of Science Oregon Transfer degree in Business--whew, quite a title. Along with taking general courses, I need to take business and computer courses that will prepare me for a business program at a four-year college. Currently, I am considering such majors as Management, Marketing, and Entrepreneurship. I chose TBCC because it allows me stay close to the people who matter most to me as I transition into adulthood and college life. I chose Phi Theta Kappa because I believe I can add creativity and, hopefully, help make the college experience better; not only for me, but also for all students. Remember, if we can all participate and add a little bit of ourselves to TBCC, we can change it for the better and leave a mark for future students. Some advice for students pursuing degrees: research and plan! |
PTK Advisor |
Hi, I'm Melanie. I was born in the land of "cheese, trees and ocean breeze." I received my Associate of Arts Block Transfer Degree from Portland Community College. Several of those credits were earned right here at Tillamook Bay Community College and, before that, with the Tillamook High School Honors Program. I went on to earn a Bachelor of Science in Psychology Degree from The University of Oregon. I am passionate about education, traveling and my family. Please stop by to see me at the Testing Center, located next to the Library at Tillamook Bay Community College. Please remember to "Act in Kindness" and seize THIS day! |

Follow-Up Postings:
Very cool, Marj! In your top photo, I definitely think the white freckles are part of his outfit. In the bottom photo, are they in a bird bath? Maybe this is spa day? :) |
My first thought was to say blackbirds, but I don't think there are any blackbirds, even immature ones, with very distinctive spots like that. Could they be starlings? Check out the link below. There's good info on the Identification and the Life History tabs. If it's either blackbirds or starlings, they're both nuisance birds. Will eat you out of house and home--and seed, and very "dirty" birds---a/k/a: poop all over the place! I haven't seen any starlings around here, but for the last couple weeks I've had a HUGE herd of brewer's blackbirds around. Couldn't keep 'em chased away no matter what I did! They'd fly up into the trees and sit up there laughing at me till I came back inside! Had to finally let the feeders "big birds" can access get empty and just stay that way! In the last couple days they seem to have disappeared again. The one possible problem I see with yours being a starling is that they have yellow beaks and in the pic it looks like yours has a black beak. Maybe that's just the pic! The "top" bird on the birdbath looks like a robin to me--right shape and has its head up like they do when they're drinking, but the pic is too dark to be sure of anything. Here's a link to the brewers blackbird so you can do some checking if/when they come back. These two pages also link to other "similar species." If you don't have a bird book--or two, Cornell All About Birds is a great site to look them up! http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Brewers_Blackbird/id Hope this helps you, |
Here is a link that might be useful: European Starling - All About Birds
These are European starlings-very invasive and not good in your yard. They can come in flocks of a hundred, and run all other birds away. |
Starlings do have one positive attribute: they feed heavily on sod web worm larvae. So I don't mind seeing a few hundred show up chez moi and go at 'em. |
Thanks Skybird and relsa for the identification - I did google images for european starling, and they do indeed look like the ones I saw in my yard! The spotted ones must have been young birds. Didn't see them back until yesterday, when they again seemed to just appear in a swarm. They were feeding on something in the backyard lawn (bit of a grass and weed mixture) - perhaps they were finding sod worm larvae, David. I'll have to do some research on that and see if our lawn has that problem. if so, then maybe I'll send an invitation to the starlings to come and get 'em ;) Marj |

UK Blackberry in the USA? (saving contacts problem)
I bought my blackberry in the UK but I'm now studying in the states. My phone is unlocked and I have an AT&T simcard. However, when I save numbers (US phone numbers) in my contacts to call or text, it automatically adds a '+44' which makes the call not go through. I found a way around it by just manually entering the numbers and saving them in my memopad to copy and paste but this is very inconvenient.
Is there a way I can configure my blackberry so that I can just call/text from contacts? -
I can't remember for sure where the setting for this lives, but it is linked to one of the "regional" settings like time zone, language, keyboard.
<checks phone>
I think ... try Phone options / Smart Dialling, Country Code.
Numbers saved with the correct +n international prefix will work perfectly anywhere you travel, so get into the habit of saving US numbers in +1 style. The phone networks identify their own international code in the dialled number and ignore for national calls. I have the reverse problem with this, even with the correct setup sometimes my contacts get saved in national format instead of international (+nn ....) which is a nuisance because I travel a lot.

very simple.... press call key...... press bb key and scroll scrol to select option.......... scrol down to smart Dialing...... change country code from (+44) to (+1)... ... done...
