Where the Wild Yeasts Are
Turtle Bread Company
3421 W. 44th St., Mpls.; 924-6013
Which yardstick you choose to measure yourself by makes a big difference. For instance, sometimes I think: F. Scott Fitzgerald, "This Side of Paradise" published at age 24--success. Me, past 24, no "This Side of Paradise"--big, flaming disaster. Other times I turn on the TV and think: I am not sleeping with my father's boyfriend, nor am I a crack addict who sold my baby for breast implants, so I should get a goddamn civic prize from the city of Minneapolis, I really should. Me with a job and my dishes washed and everything.
Now take Harvey McLain, owner of Turtle Bread Company. He lives, mentally, in a universe populated by the world's best bakers--like the folk in New York at Eli Zabar's Vinegar Factory and Goldberg's Bakery; the people in California who run Gail's Bakery, the Artisan Bakery, and the Berkeley Bakery; Dutch pastry-makers; and, generally, the French. Ask McLain about his breads and he starts reeling off how Turtle Bread does in comparison with these international benchmarks, and he recounts tasting trips he has taken all over the world, often with Turtle Bread's bakers. (They're all off to Paris in February.)
Point out that most restaurants, bakers, and ice-cream makers in town tend to compare themselves only to those local establishments they compete with directly, and McLain screws up his big, lionlike face, narrows his deep-set blue eyes, and asks, with genuine curiosity: "What would be the point of that?" Delve a little deeper and you'll find that Turtle Bread's international standards rest on a bedrock of practical philosophy: "Within most people there is an appreciation of quality," says McLain. "Wasn't it Emerson that said we've got that voice in us telling us what is right, but we just don't know how to listen?
"You know," he continues, "I don't even like that whole cult of the individual chef or owner. It's the product that brings people in, not whoever's back behind the scenes."
That product includes a panoply of baked goods not unlike those Ralph Waldo himself would have subsisted on--made only with organic flour, water, salt, and, depending on the recipe, sugar, butter, eggs, milk, olive oil, fresh rosemary, and the like. McLain has no time for modern junk like the dough softeners, food coloring, corn syrup, or preservatives you find in many breads--even those craggy loaves in fashionable rustic packaging seen in supermarkets. True artisanal bread is made with as little interfering technology as possible: The baker's job is simply to showcase the glories of Mother Nature and the wonders of tradition. This means that bread is reduced to its most basic incarnation; the result often causes a lively quickening in your taste buds, the same elemental response you might have to the warmth of a campfire or the light of the sun.
Probably the best introduction to Turtle breads is a loaf of the germ levain (32 oz., $4.99), a big-tasting, heady bread made with only water, flour, and sea salt. But what flour: Wheat germ is the vitamin-rich layer that lies between the kernel's skin and its pale heart, the endosperm. If you polish the bran and the germ off the endosperm (imagine grinding the peel off an orange with a rock tumbler) and grind up the naked endosperm, you get plain white wheat flour. If you grind up the whole kernel, you get whole wheat flour. But take off the bran and grind up just the germ and the endosperm, and you get that which makes the germ levain.
"Levain" refers to the way the bread was leavened--with wild yeast, captured from the air and kept alive through regular care and feeding. Turtle Bread uses six different types of local wild yeast, each with a distinct flavor.
So to make the germ levain, Turtle takes locally milled, organic, germ-laced flour, adds a bit of salt, some double-filtered water, and a bit of wild yeast, and then lets the yeast do its stuff--eating the natural sugars in the wheat and exhaling carbon dioxide. This process is called proofing, and it's ample proofing time that gives the bread its wheaty taste (unmasked by natural sugars) and beautiful internal lacework of bubbles. Add some sprigs of fresh rosemary and some pitted kalamata olives and you've got the meaty rosemary-olive levain (28 oz. $4.99), a firm, putty-colored loaf with a thick, crisp crust like an animal's living shell--breathing, resilient. Yum.
All Turtle's breads are shaped and moved in and out of the ovens by hand, which prevents their delicate structures from being traumatized and falling, as it does in bread factories when the dough is brutally pulled into shape by machines. Spend some time perusing the pretty baskets in which Turtle stacks its loaves, and you'll find that really, there's not a bad bread in the bunch of nearly 30 kinds that are baked all day. Until about 4 p.m. you can almost always find a hot baguette ($2.99), a beautifully holey wand, translucent when you inspect it close-up, with a crust the color of caramel in the sun.
But Turtle does not live by bread alone. As important as breads are pastries (including a delectable almond-filled croissant ($1.99)), many of which people might recognize from Pam Sherman's late Uptown bakery and café. Sherman is as responsible as anyone for the current state of Twin Cities cuisine--she was one of the founders of the New French Café--and when she opened Turtle Bread with McLain in 1994, she brought her recipes along, as well as her expertise and loyal customers. It's a little unnerving to see Sherman behind the counter making lattes just like anybody else, but "I like creating," she explains. "I don't like managing. And, believe it or not, I actually like cooking."
Pies are the other item Turtle Bread can't make fast enough. They're the province of the assistant head baker, Renae Torgerson, a closed-mouthed, fiercely focused woman who managed to put together about 100 little confectioner's-sugar-topped jam peekaboo cookies in the time it took to tell me how much she hated working in her last baking post at a pricey resort, because everything came premade. "Here you can take pride in what you do," she explains. "You're not pulling it all from a bucket or a case." However, she'll admit this scratch effort can get hectic: Before Thanksgiving she found herself working 18 hours a day trying to put out the 350 to 450 pies a day customers had reserved.
My favorite among the pies is probably the lemon meringue: It has a tart and pungent lemon layer topped with a textbook-perfect sweet and glossy meringue inside a crust so crisp it breaks with a rattle. Turtle's pumpkin pie disproves that joke about how the worst pumpkin pie and the best are very much alike--it's a rich, fluffy thing with a hint of spice to it, the kind of creation I thought only longtime grandmas were capable of. Who else would spend all day on pie, or bread, or even crackers?
In fact, while you're picking up some of Turtle's handmade crackers ($3.75 for six), why not spend some real money? The bakery also carries all sorts of gourmet groceries--precious honeys, jams, chocolates, oils, vinegars, teas, coffees, and such. And while these treats might just be stocking stuffers and once-a-year indulgences for most, McLain points out that quite a few people treat Turtle Bread as their primary grocery. My jaw dropped at this thought, so McLain led me to the front door to see the BMW, Mercedes, and two Porsches parked out front: "That's probably more than my net worth," he said. "I've seen situations here where people send the chauffeur in with the cell phone for five pies."
If you had asked me where the rich shop prior to this eye-opener, I would have guessed Byerly's. Now I know better, but I'm even more confused. Where are they getting their vegetables? À la carte from Manny's? And their toothpaste? Hand-mixed by the lily-white mitts of the Procter & Gamble heirs?
I hate it when the rich and I see eye-to-eye on anything, because it usually means that I'm another step down the enchanting, sylvan path toward bankruptcy. This year that path seems to be paved with addictive Christmas breads like German stollen ($9.95) and Italian panettone ($12.95), as whipped up by Turtle Bread head baker Gregory B. Wayd. Wayd started his Christmas stollen process in August, mixing a brew of whole almonds, currants, two sorts of raisins, candied citron, and brandy, stirring the mess every few days for months and months, finally baking the stollen and slathering it with festive-looking sugar.
After Thanksgiving Wayd started work on his panettone, the buttery, eggy Italian Christmas bread filled with pine nuts, citron, and raisins. Both breads are simple, attractive, compelling in an old-world, old-tradition, seasonal way, and both resist the pitfalls of their thrice-the-price mail-order or department-store counterparts: The stollen isn't too alcoholic, the panettone isn't too dense.
Maybe my deep affection for these breads is based on more than taste, though: Wayd told me a story that makes as good a Christmas fable as any. Four years ago he moved to Minneapolis, where his mom lived, without a job, without a sense of the city, and sick of life in the D.C. beltway, where he had been a baker. His 15th night in town, he had a dream in which a beautiful woman kept repeating, "Everything's going to be OK" while beckoning him toward a big blue lake over which shone the Minneapolis skyline. The next day, Wayd got lost, found himself driving down 44th Street, wondering where he could possibly be. He looked to his left and saw Harvey McLain and Pam Sherman painting the Turtle Bread sign. He walked in, and the years of baguettes and stollen began. A few days later, he was exploring his new work neighborhood when he stumbled onto the shores of Lake Harriet, a few blocks from Turtle Bread. The view of downtown exactly matched the one he'd seen in his dream.

Spencer County Republicans joined others across Kentucky Saturday as they participated in the state GOP's first presidential caucus.
Spencer County's Stacey McIntosh would love to join 141 fellow cancer survivors May 6 for the ultimate victory lap around Churchill Downs.
McIntosh may get that opportunity after she was nominated to take part in the Kentucky Oaks Survivors Parade. The eighth annual event honors breast and ovarian cancer survivors and takes place on the same day as the Kentucky Oaks race, one day before the Kentucky Derby.
Another winter is waning, and some of the potholes that plague the Settlers Center have only grown deeper and wider. However, the City of Taylorsville now has a new tool in its arsenal to force repairs, and it appears they're about to use it.
Taylorsville Police are conducting an investigation to determine who used a counterfeit $10 bill to purchase food March 5 at Dairy Queen.
Employees at the restaurant called police after they discovered they had received the fake bill, but they didn't know exactly when it had come in or who had paid with it, Chief Phil Crumpton said Monday.
Officer Todd Tinsley responded to the scene and is conducting the investigation.
The budgetary tug-of-war within the Spencer County Fiscal Court continued Monday morning as pay raises for some county employees were deemed non-negotiable as long as the sheriff's payroll budget remains unresolved.
"We're going to have to deal with this, because it's holding us up on some other stuff," said magistrate Brian Bayers, who has long supported Sheriff Buddy Stump's payroll budget request of $779,000, a figure that's the same as last year.
Gov. Matt Bevin last week announced that two essential road aid programs – both housed in the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet's Department of Rural and Municipal Aid – will continue to operate in Fiscal Year 2017.
The Flex Funds and 80/20 Bridge Replacement programs will be available to local officials over the next fiscal year. These programs are designed to give local governments the flexibility to use state funds for county road projects.
A nonprofit foundation benefiting the Kentucky State Police has been established to support the agency, its employees and the families of officers who have died in the line of duty.
Through public and corporate support, the Kentucky State Police Foundation will provide equipment, training and other resources when normal funding streams are not available. Founded in November, the foundation recently facilitated a $100,000 donation for the construction of a medical and dental screening facility at Trooper Island Camp.
The Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services has launched a new self-service web portal where citizens can easily apply for assistance.
The online service, called benefind, is the access point for Kentuckians to apply for programs like Medicaid, the Kentucky Children's Health Insurance Program, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), or food benefits, and Kentucky Transitional Assistance Program (KTAP), or cash assistance.
Country ham breakfast
Taylorsville Masonic Lodge No. 210 will have an all-you-can-eat country ham breakfast from 7 a.m. until 10 a.m. on Saturday. The breakfast is $7 per person. Carry-out is available.
GOP county meeting
A GOP county mass meeting will be held Monday, March 7 at 7 p.m. in the Farm Bureau meeting room.
Friends of the library meeting
Rep. Darryl Owens, a Louisville Democrat, has filed two bills seeking to block Gov. Matt Bevin's plans to dismantle kynect, the state health exchange, and scale back the state Medicaid program. Owens said he hopes to get a hearing on his bills in the House, where Democrats hold the majority, though he acknowledged that they likely won't fare well in the Senate, controlled by Republicans.

Venue Details
About the Ticket Supplier: Main Street Theater
In 1975, Houston was a booming, oil-rich metropolis with a growing, sophisticated populace eager for exposure to a wide variety of cultural activities. But with only one resident theater, patrons were inevitably limited in the number and range of theatrical voices they had the opportunity to hear. Furthermore, few professional opportunities existed for the city's growing community of theater actors, directors, writers and designers. Thus, Main Street Theater, the first of several new theater companies established during the 1970's, was founded to meet two needs: to offer Houston theatergoers a more varied and challenging selection of plays and musicals and to provide a venue for training, employment and exposure for our city's professional theater artists.

Baltimore, MD (SportsNetwork.com) - Davon Usher led all scorers with 28
points, and the top-seeded Delaware Blue Hens notched an 87-76 win over the
No. 8 seed Hofstra Pride in the quarterfinals of the Colonial Athletic
Association Tournament at Baltimore Arena.
Jarvis Threatt was next in line with 22 points for the Blue Hens (23-9), who
advance to play No. 5 seed Northeastern in Sunday's semifinal round. Devon
Saddler added 15 points in the win, while Kyle Anderson scored 12.
Zeke Upshaw led the way with 23 points for the Pride (10-23), who were coming
off a first-round win over UNC Wilmington on Friday night. Dion Nesmith
contributed 16 points, and Stephen Nwaukoni recorded a double-double off the
bench with 13 points and 15 rebounds.
Hofstra got off to a quick start and led by as many as nine midway through the
opening frame. The Pride eventually went into the locker room with a 40-37
halftime lead after holding UD to 38.7-percent shooting in the first half.
However, the Blue Hens rallied in the second stanza behind a 64-percent effort
from the field and a 20-of-25 showing at the foul line. Threatt was
instrumental in that rally, as he scored 18 of his 22 points in the second
half while going 6-of-7 from the floor.
UD, which is the top seed in this tournament for the first time since joining
the league, committed only seven turnovers in the game and forced 15.
Final Score: Northeastern 90, Drexel 81
Baltimore, MD (SportsNetwork.com) - Scott Eatherton recorded a double-double
with 23 points and 15 rebounds as the Northeastern Huskies dismissed the
Drexel Dragons, 90-81, in the quarterfinals of the 32nd annual Colonial
Athletic Association Tournament at Baltimore Arena.
Also producing a double-double for fifth-seeded Northeastern (11-20) was Zach
Stahl who tallied 19 points and 12 boards in 27 minutes off the bench. David
Walker and TJ Williams pitched in with 18 and 12 points, respectively, the
latter shooting only 1-of-6 from the field but 10-of-12 at the free-throw
The fourth-seeded Dragons (16-14) were paced by Chris Fouch who scored a game-
high 30 points, shooting 11-of-20 from the floor and 4-of-8 behind the 3-point
line before fouling out. Frantz Massenat was responsible for another 19 points
and Rodney Williams 11 and seven rebounds, as well as four blocked shots in
the setback.
Drexel led by as many as seven points early in the first half, but the team
ended up shooting a dismal 30.8 percent from the field in the period,
including 1-of-5 behind the 3-point line. After moving out to a 13-8
advantage, the Dragons fell behind once the Huskies put together a 12-0 run,
en route to a commanding 35-21 advantage at the break.
In the second half the Dragons turned it around with 56.4 percent accuracy
from the floor, 6-of-11 shooting on the outside, but at the same time the
defense allowed Northeastern to make good on 65.2 percent from the field. The
Huskies maintained a sizeable lead thanks to 23-of-31 at the free-throw line
after intermission.
Northeastern turned the ball over 15 times on the day, but more than made up
for those miscues by producing a 42-31 rebounding lead and outscoring Drexel
at the charity stripe, 32-14.
The Huskies will be back in action on Sunday versus top-seeded Delaware for
the right to appear in the title game on Monday night.
Final Score: Towson 80, James Madison 71
Baltimore, MD (SportsNetwork.com) - Four McGlynn scored 21 points and Jerrelle
Benimon recorded a double-double as the Towson Tigers defeated the James
Madison Dukes 80-71 in the quarterfinals of the Colonial Athletic Association
Tournament at Baltimore Arena.
Benimon had 18 points and 10 rebounds for the second-seeded Tigers (23-9),
who move on to battle either the College of Charleston or William & Mary in
the semifinals. Mike Burwell added 17 points and Marcus Damas chipped in 14.
Andre Nation netted 18 points for JMU (11-20). Charles Cooke tallied 14 points
and Ron Curry chimed in with 13.
Towson only had nine field goals in the first half, but it hit 4-of-8 from
beyond the arc and 12-of-19 at the free-throw line to enter halftime leading
34-27. The seventh-seeded Dukes netted just 38.5 percent from the floor in the
The Tigers heated up to 58.3 percent shooting in the final 20 minutes, while
also sinking 27-of-42 attempts from the charity stripe. JMU hit on 35.7
percent from the floor in second stanza.
JMU did outscore Towson in the paint (30-14) and off of turnovers (13-6) in
the losing effort.

If search-engine hits are the Web election determining America's most popular poet, then Emily Dickinson is currently in second or third place (along with Henry Longfellow), behind Walt Whitman. But unlike Whitman, her intensely personal poetry seeks a sympathetic reader, not a vast public sphere. And perhaps that is what drew the composer Gordon Getty to her. His song cycle on Dickinson's poetry, The White Election, will be performed, appropriately, on a Tuesday, Feb. 23.More about Cal Performances »

Gustavo Dudamel
As I stood in the deserted Civic Center station with only three others from the full house that had vociferously cheered the Saturday concert of the Los Angeles Philharmonic and its 28-year-old new music-director, Gustavo Dudamel, I reflected on L.A.'s love for the automobile.

With autumn upon us, the Bay Area's classical music groups are tuning up for hundreds of intriguing events.

How do you tell a hack orchestrator from a master? One composes a new sequence of sounds, the other a sequence of new sounds. And if the sequence itself has a certain cohesive inevitability about it, you have a ground-breaking masterpiece. Two of these were served up to an enthusiastic audience Friday night at the opening of the Cabrillo Festival of Contemporary Music in Santa Cruz, thanks to invitations from Music Director Marin Alsop.More about Cabrillo Festival of Contemporary Music »
Last year on the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra blog, Eddie Silva sagely observed, "Anything that's been pronounced dead as often as classical music needs to move on to another subject.

Kenneth J. Dunegan Cleveland State University
A few years ago, tennis star Andre Agassi was featured in a national advertising campaign for a well-known camera company. In most of the ads, the flamboyant Agassi sports shoulder-length hair, stubble on his chin, and blatantly unorthodox tennis apparel. After flawlessly executing a variety of extraordinary tennis shots, he turns to the camera and defiantly proclaims, "Image [a pause for effect] is everything."
Although one could argue whether Agassi's proclamation is literally true, there can be little doubt that images do play a significant role in practically every aspect of our daily lives. Indeed, the desire to achieve or maintain a certain image influences decisions about everything from the cars we drive, to the politicians we support (this could be a null set), to the clothes we wear and the beverages we drink. In fact, it is precisely because images are such a conspicuous and integral part of decision making that the descriptive decision model outlined in image theory ( Beach, 1990, Beach & Mitchell, 1990) has so much appeal. However, because the theory is relatively new, empirical research has been limited and tends to focus on screening and profitability tests ( Beach, 1993). Although these studies, and others in the same vein, are an important and necessary step in confirming image theory's basic structure, they tend to overshadow one issue about the theory that is most promising--its ability to integrate with existing models of decision making and enrich their capacity for explaining and predicting behaviors.

We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of our Class A
common stock in this offering by the selling stockholders.
The banking landscape in our primary markets of Colorado, Kansas and Missouri
is highly competitive and quite fragmented, with many small banks having
limited market share while the large out of state national and super-regional
banks control the majority of deposits and profitable banking relationships.
We compete actively with national, regional and local financial services
providers, including banks, thrifts, credit unions, mortgage bankers and
finance companies. Our largest banking competitors in the Kansas City MSA
are UMB, Commerce, US Bank, Bank of America, Valley View, Capitol Federal,
Central Bancompany, CCB Financial Corp, Enterprise Financial Services Corp,
and our largest competitors in Colorado are Wells Fargo, FirstBank, JPMorgan
Chase, U.S. Bank, Bank of the West, KeyBank, Alpine Bank, Compass Bank,
Vectra Bank and First National Bank of Colorado.
Competition among providers of financial products and services continues to
increase, with consumers having the opportunity to select from a growing
variety of traditional brick and mortar banks and nontraditional alternatives,
such as online banks. Competition among providers is based on many factors.
We believe the most important of these competitive factors that determine
success are our consumer bankers' focus on knowing their individual clients
in order to best meet their financial needs and our commercial bankers'
focus on small- and medium-sized businesses with an advisory approach that
emphasizes understanding the client's business and offering a complete array
of loan, deposit and treasury management products and services. The primary
factors driving commercial and consumer competition for loans and deposits
are interest rates, the fees charged, customer service levels and the range
of products and services offered. In addition, other competitive factors
include the location and hours of our branches and customer service
orientation of our employees.
We recognize that there are banks with which we compete that have greater
financial resources, access to more capital and higher lending capacity than
we do and offer a wider range of deposit and lending instruments than we do.
However, given our existing capital base, which should be enhanced as a result
of this offering, we expect to be able to meet the majority of small- to
medium-sized business and consumer credit needs. As of June 30, 2012, our
legal lending limit to any one customer was $131.8 million and our house limit
to any one customer was $30.0 million.
National Bank Holdings Corporation is a bank holding company incorporated
in the State of Delaware in June 2009. In October 2009, we raised net proceeds
of approximately $974 million through a private offering of our common stock.
We are executing a strategy to create long-term stockholder value
through the
acquisition and operation of community banking franchises and other
complementary businesses in our targeted markets. We believe these markets
exhibit attractive demographic attributes, are home to a substantial number
of financial institutions, including troubled financial institutions, and
present favorable competitive dynamics, thereby offering long-term
opportunities for growth. Our emphasis is on creating meaningful market share
with strong revenues complemented by operational efficiencies that we believe
will produce attractive risk-adjusted returns.
We believe we have a disciplined approach to acquisitions, both in terms of
the selection of targets and the structuring of transactions, which has been
exhibited by our four acquisitions to date. As of June 30, 2012, we had
approximately $5.8 billion in assets, $4.5 billion in deposits and $1.1
billion in stockholders' equity. We currently operate a network of 101
full-service banking centers, with the majority of those banking centers
located in the greater Kansas City region and Colorado. We believe that
our established presence positions us well for growth opportunities in our
current and complementary markets.
We have a management team consisting of experienced banking executives led
by President and Chief Executive Officer G. Timothy Laney. Mr. Laney brings
30 years of banking experience, 24 of which were at Bank of America in a
wide range of executive management roles, including serving on Bank of
America's Management Operating Committee. In late 2007, Mr. Laney joined
Regions Financial as Senior Executive Vice President and Head of Business
Services. Mr. Laney leads our team of executives that have significant
experience in completing and integrating mergers and acquisitions and
operating banks. Additionally, our board of directors, led by Chairman
Frank Cahouet, the former Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer
of Mellon Financial, is highly accomplished in the banking industry and
includes individuals with broad experience operating and working with banking
institutions, regulators and governance considerations.
Our principal executive offices are located at 5570 DTC Parkway, Greenwood
Village, Colorado 80111. Our telephone number is (720) 529-3336. Our internet

Bloomberg Signs Tax Incentive Legislation to Lure Productions to NYC
by Brian Brooks
New York City mayor Michael R. Bloomberg recently signed into law a five percent city tax credit for qualified film and television productions as part of the "Made in NY" incentive program as outlined in his State of the City address, which he officially unveiled last August. The new law will allow a 5% refundable tax credit for film and television production companies as well as the 10% tax credit qualified productions receive from New York State.
The legislation allows producers to claim a tax credit against their "below the line" costs, including the work of costume makers, locations scouts, production assistants, camera and sound technicians, caterers, extras, and film editors throughout the city. Up to $12.5 million in tax breaks will be available each calendar year.
"This film tax credit will make New York City more competitive and provide more jobs to professionals in this key economic sector," Mayor Bloomberg said in a statement. "I am incredibly delighted to be able to sign this legislation into law. New York City is the greatest film set in the world and, this law will help return New York City to prominence as a location for film and television production, ensuring that films that are set in New York City are actually shot there."
Among those already taking advantage of the new tax credit is GreeneStreet Films' latest production, "Awake." GreeneStreet president John Penotti had originally scouted in Dublin and London, but decided to go for New York to take advantage of the new incentive. Also shooting in Gotham as a result of the new law is the FOX television show, "Jonny Zero."

Two cases of dermatopathic lymphadenitis involved external mammary lymph nodes and presented clinically as breast masses. The variable position and number of external mammary lymph nodes account for the difficulty in differentiating intrinsic breast pathological conditions of the lateral margin of the breast from lymphadenitis. Recent publicity may account for a lower threshold for detection of such lesions by patients as well as physicians. Dermatopathic lymphadenitis should be included in the differential diagnosis of persistent solid masses involving the lateral margin of the breast and should be confirmed by excisional biopsy.

By formatting a USB key on my mac leopard, and whatever the filesystem (NTFS, FAT32), it is not readable under Windows XP , the system asks me to format it. But it is readable in vista or Windows 7. If I format the same key under both OS, it is still not readable in Windows XP. I must format it under Windows XP for this.
In this case, my question: Is there a utility under windows, to format a key in making sure it is compatible with any version of Windows used? Basically, I am forced to format my key in Windows XP to be compatible or Windows XP Is there an app to format it in vista or Windows 7, with windows xp compatibility?

St. Augustine South and St. Augustine Shores are among St. Johns County's oldest and most populated subdivisions. The South was established in the 1950s and The Shores in the 1970s, both located just off U.S. 1 South. Despite their size, they have managed to maintain their woodsy appeal and tranquility.
The Shores began as a retirement community, but today it is home to residents varying from newlyweds to families to retirees. The community has golf, tennis courts, playgrounds and fishing ponds. A pool is also located at the community's Riverview Club. The types of homes in The Shores include manufactured homes, which are the oldest in the community, concrete block homes and a number of condominiums.
St. Augustine South is also home to a diverse population. A playground, tennis courts and picnic area are located in the subdivision. There is also a boat ramp located on Shore Drive. Most residential structures in The South are houses.
Both communities hug the Intracoastal Waterway and have their own fire stations.
Prairie Creek, Wildwood Creek, Wildwood Pines and Foxhill Estates are some of the other residential communities in this part of the county, with more subdivisions planned.

A fascinating mix of Asian culture and sci-fi. I like the different Asian animals seen through the Firefly/ dystopia lens -- the elephant with the modified howdah, the caiman with the samurai top-knot, the panda with his bamboo, the monkeys packing the toad's cargo, the tengu leading our girl. She looks like she's never been out in this kind of milieu before. The warthog on the left keeps reminding me of the of hose-nose spy from "Star Wars."

How much zinc should you take? continued...
The tolerable upper intake level (UL) of a supplement is the highest amount that most people can take safely. Never take more unless your health care provider says so. Keep in mind that this upper limit includes the zinc you get from foods and supplements.
Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL) of Zinc
0-6 months
4 mg/day
7-12 months
5 mg/day
1-3 years
7 mg/day
4-8 years
12 mg/day
9-13 years
23 mg/day
14-18 years
34 mg/day
19 years and up
40 mg/day
To avoid irritating the stomach, take zinc with food. For the common cold, zinc lozenges are supposed to be started within 24 hours of the onset of cold symptoms. Then, take the zinc lozenges every two to three hours -- while you're awake, of course -- until the symptoms go away.
Can you get zinc naturally from foods?
Good food sources of zinc are:
- Red meat
- Poultry
- Oysters
- Fortified cereals
- Whole grains
- Beans and nuts
What are the risks of taking zinc?
- Side effects. Zinc supplements can irritate the stomach and mouth. Zinc lozenges can alter your sense of smell and taste for a few days. If taken long-term, zinc lozenges may lower copper levels in the body. Zinc nasal sprays have been associated with a loss of smell, which may be permanent.
- Interactions. Zinc may interact with some medicines such as birth control pills and some antibiotics. Zinc can also interact with other supplements, such as calcium, magnesium, copper, and iron. If you take daily medicine or supplements, ask your health care provider about taking zinc.
- Risks. People who are allergic to zinc, have HIV, or have hemochromatosis should not take zinc supplements without talking to their doctor first. Too much zinc can cause fever, cough, nausea, reduced immune function, mineral imbalances, cholesterol changes, and other issues. In pregnant women, high doses may harm the fetus.

Franklin is spending more than $165,000 to study drainage in the city in an effort to prevent future flooding around creeks and ditches.
City board of works members hired an engineer to do two studies for the city, including reviewing some suggestions and requests made by a group of downtown business owners.
Both projects will be paid for with stormwater funds, which come from a $5-per-month fee charged to city property owners.
Once the city has the overall stormwater plan, Franklin could be eligible for up to $1 million in grant funds from the state, city engineer Travis Underhill said. Grants for stormwater projects are rare, but money might be available near the end of the year, he said.
The smaller project will cost $18,740 and will focus on Youngs Creek near the downtown and what projects the city could do to improve water flow around bridges and upgrade drains that empty in the creek. That study should be complete in about two months, said Andrew Cochrane of Whitaker Engineering.
Scott Graham of Graham's Auto Wrecker and other business owners have told the city that water levels in the creek are higher and rise faster since the 2008 flood. In December, about 6 inches of water flooded Graham's business and was standing in the low-lying areas downtown.
The second project will cost $147,600 and will analyze water flow from all creeks, ditches and drains in the city. That study, which would be completed toward the end of the year, will allow Franklin to identify problem areas in the city drainage system and plan projects to lessen flooding in the future.

Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Another Great Nokia,
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Nokia E5-00 Unlocked GSM Phone with Easy E-mail Setup, IM, QWERTY, 5 MP Camera, Ovi Store with Apps, and Free Ovi Maps Navigation (Black) (Wireless Phone Accessory)
I've been a loyal Nokia user since the 8860. They have just always been fun, straight forward and easy to use phones. The only thing Nokia lacks here in the USA is the customization options that the rest of the world enjoys on a daily basis. Most phones are locked down by carriers and rebranded with their own applications here in the US. This unlocked GSM capable Nokia makes that a thing of the past. Don't want to pay AT&T for an internet fee and a GPS navigation fee? Done. Want to delete whatever programs you wish from the phone? Done. Want to download apps that directly compete and are better than the ones AT&T or T-Mobile force you to use? Done.
Calls come through loud and clear on AT&T's network. I have full 3G coverage and have yet to drop a call. When using the internet away from a WiFi network, you get access to AT&T's speedy 3.5G network. 3.5G comes in very handy when using the free GPS turn by turn navigation. Yes, outside the US Nokia has been doing this for ages. It's the greedy US carriers that have blocked it all these years. Not anymore with an unlocked phone from Nokia, although you still need a data plan from your carrier. Battery life is great too, but that's expected from Nokia.
Messaging works great with easy access to received and sent texts, and the keyboard makes for speedy typing. Plus several of the keys have very handy shortcuts to commonly used features such as bluetooth, emoticons (smileys) , and a flashlight.
WiFi is a breeze to use. You can view networks in range and even set priority levels for which ones you prefer to use. The screen is a little small to be your go to surfing device, but it's more than competent for checking email, posting on facebook, and looking up sports scores.
The device also comes with a mobile version of Microsoft Office document reader. This is extremely handy for the mobile professional.
One other great thing about this unlocked phone is that you can listen to FM or internet radio. I have missed this feature since AT&T began locking their phones down around the time of the Cingular branded Nokia 6230 (my still going strong backup phone). Pair this with a 3.5mm headphone jack and the more than capable music player, and you have yourself a nice little music phone.
The only complaint I have with this phone is the cheaper TFT screen Nokia used to keep the cost down. This does cause the screen to become washed out in direct sunlight, but only from one side. It's weird, if you tilt the phone to the left, the screen stays bright, but when you tilt the phone to the right, the screen becomes washed out. With that said, I live in Denver where we get over 300 days of sun every year. I have yet to be in a situation where I could not read the screen. If its too dark you can simply change your theme to a brighter, more colorful one to help with visibility.

You actually DON'T need a data plan to use the GPS navigation of any GPS enabled Nokia phone, that's the beauty of it. You can download and store any of your maps locally on the phone's microSD card and use the navigation purely with satellites. No data connection required. The entire USA will fit on the 2GB microSD this phone comes with....in fact, it should come preloaded with the entire USA maps. You can easily change which maps you are carrying around with you via the desktop software Ovi Suite. For example I just have Vermont loaded on and it takes up about 25MB!! (Yes, we're a small state...LOL). Given that Nokia seems to have maps of just about the entire planet, it's really quite awesome!

HELP PLEASE ! All i do is talk on a gsm network, send and get text messages, use a blue tooth and WOULD LIKE a phone with GPS where I can add maps for SOUTH AMERICA when i travel there. I don�t want a data plan. SO WILL THIS PHONE WORK FOR ME? OR is there a better phone i should look at to suit my needs. I don�t do any business stuff via a cell phone. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP !
ALMOST FORGOT, I am retired and am not a computer expert or tech type person. So complicated gadgets get me frustrated. I don�t mind of the phone has features I won�t use but I don�t want to over buy or under buy if i decide in the future i might want some of the extra features like checking my email or getting the local weather forcast ect. But i don�think i will ever be surfing the web on a cell phone.
In reply to an earlier post on Nov 9, 2010 6:15:44 AM PST
I think you'll be fine. The MAJOR advantage of Nokia phones with GPS is that they can have maps loaded locally on a memory card. This saves a MASSIVE amount of data when using the GPS maps application. In fact there is an option in setting to turn any connection to the internet off so the map application is purely using satellites.
The E5 is generally pretty easy to use and even if you don't use the email feature initially, it's very simple to set up for most of the major public email providers (Hotmail, Yahoo, Gmail), it really does walk you through the process.
Cons I have come across so far - the menu system does take a little getting used to, you have to really dig sometimes to find settings and they are not always where you logically would expect them to be. Also, the 'destinations' feature which allows you to set up 'access points' for conecting to the web is not that user friendly. It really boils down to simply setting up a series of ways to connect to the internet in the order of preference you want (i.e wi-fi first, if no wif-fi then 3G etc.) I feel they could have made this a little more simple. Not a problem for me as I am very technically proficient but I could see how someone less so would get confused.
Still, all in all I have been very happy with this phone. It's got a lot going for it and at the price point is a definate alternative to the overpriced Blackberry's.
In reply to an earlier post on Nov 9, 2010 7:24:36 AM PST
THANKS ANDREW for your reply. If I could use the free WI FI to occasionally check for email messages when I am out of country, use the GPS and a pre paid sim chip when traveling, that is all I would need. Do you know if I can add and use SKYPE on this phone? I have a SKYPE account I use to call one Son who works in S. America. Like I said, I am retired so I don�t talk a bunch on the phone. Just keep up with family and the grand kids. Those data plans are just so darn expensive, I don�t want to buy them. Woule be nice to keep a calander of birthdays and dr appointments like a PDA on the phone. ONE importand thing for me is VOLUME. Am a bit hard of hearing and my Motorola is not so good. My son got me a Blue Ant head set and that really helps. THANKS AGAIN for your review. I was looking at the E71 but another reviewer said he switched from the E71 to this model and liked it better. Just so hard to decide, so many models it sure gets confusing, especially for someone who doesn�t use a phone to surf the internet, play games or listen to music on a phone. THANKS for your time !

No problem. You can use any GSM network prepaid SIM as this is a quadband GSM phone and will ork on any GSM network. It's also triband for 3G so you'll get high speed data access just about anywhere that uses 3G as well. Wi-Fi is always a bonus and if there are free wi-fi hotspots then you're golden.
Skype access is now getting tricky as it seems as though Skype is pulling all 3rd party application support. You used to be able to connect to Skype through programs like Nimbuzz and Fring but not any more. There is an official Symbian Skype app but it says it does not currently support E5, which is weird as E72 IS listed and these phones use the same version of Symbian. Hopefully Skype will quickly expand it's app to all Symbian platforms and devices.
I personally find volume to be satisfctory onthis phone.
Posted on Nov 9, 2010 6:32:15 PM PST
OK, am about to order two of these phones. One for me and one for the wife. I noticed someone today with a blackberry and they had some type of rubber protector around the phone, almost like a 360 degree bumper pad. It looked like it just protected the outer edges of the phone. Kind of like what you see on the old style bumper cars at the amusement park. Thats the best way I can explain it. Anyway, is anyone using anything like this to protect their phone or is there a specific type case that would be good?
THANKS in advance for your help !
In reply to an earlier post on Nov 10, 2010 5:34:12 AM PST
You can get rubber cases for dirt cheap from ebay. I started off with one of these. I also recommend a screen protector as the screen is plastic and will scratch very easily! Two places that do the 'skin' type protectors (which I favor) are DecalGirl and Bodyguardz.
In reply to an earlier post on Nov 14, 2010 5:04:37 PM PST
Andrew, I think I found the reason SKYPE won�t work on the new E5. Got this from WIKI....
S60 3rd Edition
(S60v3) uses a hardened version of Symbian OS (v9.1), which has mandatory code signing. In S60v3, a user may install only programs that have a certificate from a registered developer, unless the user disables that feature or modify the phone's firmware through third-party hacks that circumvent the mandatory signing restrictions. This makes software written for S60 1st Edition or 2nd Edition not binary-compatible with S60v3.
In reply to an earlier post on Nov 14, 2010 6:36:35 PM PST
Hmmm, not sure about that. There is an official Skype app out there and it works with the E72 but is not available for the E5 which doesn't make any sense as they run the same OS. It seems pretty obvious after reading several blogs and forums that the reason Skype has pulled support for 3rd party apps like Fring and Nimbuzz is purely corporate logic, they are just getting all precious about it. Shame, as Nimbuzz is a great chat client.

Found the following that says it should work, evidently developed by Skype, guess will just have to wait till the phones are delivered and see if it works. If the link I added below won�t open, try going to the 3 w�s skype com/m and see if it will load. It talks about the E71 and E72 but not the E5. Go figure.

Local gas prices fluctuated wildly during 2013, but experts in the highly volatile world of gas price trends are predicting slightly lower prices this year.
Nationally, the Energy Information Administration is predicting a national average of $3.43 per gallon in 2014. Similarly, the auto club AAA is predicting an average gasoline price for the year of $3.40 to $3.50 a gallon, said Marie Dodds, spokeswoman for AAA Oregon/Idaho. Based on the historical pattern of higher average prices locally, Dodds said that Washington and Oregon motorists can expect to pay about 10 cents more per gallon than the national average.
Last year's national average for gasoline was $3.50 per gallon, Dodds said. While Washington's average was $3.66, Vancouver prices came in slightly lower at $3.63 per gallon, matching Oregon's average price for the year. Those prices were a break from the previous year: average prices in 2012 exceeded $3.80 per gallon in both Oregon and Washington, according to AAA.
If the forecasts for 2014 hold true, average gasoline prices will be the lowest since 2010, Dodds said. But, given the complexity of world politics and economic trends, "the crystal ball is very murky."
What's not so murky, although not easily explained, is average gas prices in the Northwest that generally exceed the national average. The price tracking by GasBuddy.com shows the sometimes dramatic differences in prices in the Northwest compared with the U.S. average. In mid-May, prices reached $4.04 per gallon in Seattle and $3.95 in the Portland area, according to GasBuddy.com. At that time, the national average was $3.70 per gallon.
Washington and Oregon are more distant from oil production sites than other parts of the country, a factor that pushes up prices, notwithstanding the fact that Washington is home to major refineries, Dodds said. Also, California's stringent clean-air rules drive up the price of gasoline in that state, and refineries in some cases simply sell the same gasoline in the Northwest at those higher prices, Dodds said.
At the retail level, local gas station owners can set prices that the market is willing to pay, Dodds added. Some focus on service and others on price.
"There are as many different business philosophies at gas stations as there are owners," she said. "It's very common to see prices vary widely."
One reason that industry analysts expect prices to stabilize is the increased supply of domestic oil. U.S. gasoline production jumped to 9.72 million barrels a day in the week ending Dec. 20, the most in data going back to 1982, the Energy Information Administration reported last week. Refiners have ramped up operations to benefit from a flood of less-expensive domestic crude oil as U.S. output reached the highest level in 25 years.
The availability of domestic fuels can take some of the bite out of international turmoil that affects the availability of imported oil, Dodds said.
