As a Christian Counselor, I believe that the Bible has all the answers for life's challenges. It is my goal to help clients understand their value and self-worth as described in scripture. I incorporate biblical principles in each counseling session, along with empirically proven therapeutic techniques. Each client is treated with dignity and respect and encouraged to discover God's love for them and His desire to see them walk in emotional health.

I believe God works in natural and supernatural ways. Meaning, God created and continues to be creative through perpetuating orders (i.e. the laws of physics, the natural ways of our bodies and minds, etc.) and that understanding how that order works is the best way to help it when it gets off. I also believe God breaks through that order as need be (i.e. miracles can happen, prayer works, etc.). So while I am not at all opposed to talking through faith issues, I do not bring faith in explicitly unless I am asked to. By working with the natural workings of the human psyche I see myself as partnering with God's creative ways in order to help people become more human.

I believe when two or more are gathered, God will be with us. I work to surrender to Him in every session. Using the bible as our foundation, gives us common ground on which to walk. This is especially helpful with couples. Your marriage will be my client. I have found scripture can be brought into current counseling methods. There is strength in knowing we do not have to do it all ourselves and my goal is to model this, to draw you closer to God. If you have been hurt by someone, who said they followed God, let me offer a safe place for healing and learning to trust again. I offer a free first session so you can decide for yourself if this might be right for you and your.

I live my life from a Christian perspective believing that the Bible is the infallible Word of God and focus on facilitating restoration and healing for individuals in a context where traditional Judeo-Christian values and religious practice are affirmed and others respected. Oftentimes people have been abused by people or organizations that have left them wounded and hesitant to explore concepts involving God. My approach is to meet you where you are, be respectful of what you want and don't want, and incorporate Christian principles, prayer and/or scripture ONLY if you are comfortable and desire them.

If you are a Christian, that is exciting to me, as we can now explore God's truth and commandments for living our lives. We know this is a struggle for all of us, that our nature is selfish, but if we are truly living to please our Lord and Savior, then facing our sinfulness, repenting and turning toward God will heal our souls and renew our spirit. We can explore some of these areas, turn to God's Word, not mine, and allow Him to speak to your heart. I also have some materials from Christian authors that help people with their marital relationship, anger issues, anxiety and worry.

I am a Christian myself and value utilizing a Biblical approach in my counseling practice as a Licensed Professional Counselor. While I won't impose my own values on you, I will utilize scripture and prayer during our sessions as much as you are comfortable. I will draw on our faith and rely on the Biblical word to provide a framework for us to look at your circumstances and find ways in which to move forward so that you have the opportunity to live a life that is pleasing to God. There is a certain comfort that comes with being congruent to who you are and to be able to rely on your faith in the counseling process. God is the mighty healer and all things are possible through Him.

Some counselors are counselor first, Christian second. I believe in the power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ to change everything about us - and always for the better. That makes me a Christian who counsels with great purpose and intentionality. I find my hope in the need we have for a Savior, and what our Savior has done is more than sufficient to guide us to an abundant life and joyful relationships. This brings us to humbling spots in counseling that produce strong character, passionate pursuits and hopeful vision for life. A relationship with Jesus is ultimately all we need in life and He is so gracious to give us the faith of an incredibly bright future.

Finding a therapist or counselor who shares the same values, beliefs, and worldviews as you do is important! Living to make our Father known and in the light of eternity is no easy task, as it's contrary to the world. I provide counseling from a Christian worldview, using Biblical principles where appropriate and comfortable for clients of the same faith. God is the perfect example to us in showing us how much He values relationships and connections. We need only look at the way He put us in natural and spiritual families intended to be key in our development and growth into people who look more and more like our Father and the Son, who is the exact representation of His being.

If you are a Christian, I can bring healing in the context of your faith. Of course, I can help all, equally well, regardless of faith. I offer special insight into a Christian Marriage, particularly in the context of John and Staci Eldredge. Men and women suffer uniquely from "the fall". This is important in how to help each person get what they need in a marriage.

I offer Christian counseling to those struggling in their walk with God. I was raised as a Christian and through my own struggles with my faith I have been able to see my relationship with God more clearly. Letting go of my fears has strengthened my relationship with God and has let me live through who God made me as a woman. My strengthened relationship with God has also strengthened my relationship with those around me. I will gladly explore your relationship with Christ with you and work with you from a Christian point of view.

Many of us want to use their faith, values, and beliefs as part of the counseling process. I believe that God loves each person but it can be difficult to experience that love. As part of my Christian Counseling approach I collaboratively use Biblical principals and techniques with modern counseling approaches that are uniquely sensitive to your individual beliefs. Our relationship with God can be the most important thing about us. My biblically prescriptive and clinically descriptive approach can help individuals and families achieve healing and at that same time grow closer to God.

Manama, June 18, 2013
Bahrain-based Investcorp has bought a 38 per cent stake in a Saudi oil and gas services company and expects to complete up to three more deals via its $1 billion Gulf fund in 2013, an executive at the firm said.
Investcorp is buying the stake in Saudi-based Al Yusr Industrial Contracting Company from two members of its controlling family for an undisclosed sum, said managing director Tristan de Boysson, betting on an expected boom in infrastructure spending in the country.
The private equity firm was scouting for more deals worth between $50 million and $70 million, the executive added. "This is the fund's eighth deal and brings (it) ... to roughly 80 per cent deployment. We're looking at two to three more deals and hope to fully invest it by the end of this year," de Boysson said.
Founded in 1979, Al Yusr provides support services to the petrochemical, oil and gas and other industrial sectors in Saudi Arabia and Qatar.
"The market in which this company operates is growing rapidly, between 12 and 14pc per year," de Boysson added.
"We plan to support it through organic growth and inorganically inside Saudi and in new markets."
The deal is the asset manager's latest investment through its Gulf fund and comes four months after it invested in Hydrasun, an international provider of fluid control equipment and solutions for the global offshore oil and gas sector.
The company also bought last year a 35 per cent stake in Kuwaiti car leasing and rental firm Automak Automotive, as well as a 30 per cent stake in Turkish menswear retailer Orka Group. Investcorp had $11.5 billion in assets under management as of December 31, 2012.-Reuters

How zoning protects the rich and harms a 'community'
The way that people in the wealthiest communities in New England resist change in their own backyards is the subject of the new book "Snob Zones" (Beacon Press, $25.99), by Fairfield real estate journalist Lisa Prevost.
Subtitled "Fear, Prejudice and Real Estate," the book covers the whole New England region, but two of the six chapters are devoted to the Connecticut towns of Roxbury and Darien.
Prevost has written about real estate for the New York Times and several other publications.
In her introduction, the author said she was inspired to do the book by a stormy zoning meeting in Darien Town Hall in 2005 over a proposal to build affordable housing for senior citizens in a very expensive, single-family neighborhood.
More Information$25.99
On her way into the meeting, Prevost was shocked to hear someone who lives in "one of the most highly educated, exceedingly affluent communities in the country" use the foulest language possible in questioning why a TV reporter was attending the session.
The author said she had many examples of affluent New England NIMBYism to choose from (that's Not In My Back Yard, for the unitiated).
"In fact, the very frequency of these battles, as well as the predictability of opponents' arguments, speaks to the assumed entitlement that is the subject of this book," she writes.
The challenges of bringing change and diversity to places where the wealthy and powerful gather is built into the zoning laws.
"In the broadest sense, zoning authority is a useful planning tool for safely and efficiently separating land uses for the good of the community. It prevents a slaughterhouse from opening up shop next to a school. It keeps developers from jamming in houses on every available vacant lot. But there is a point at which controls on growth and development cross the line to unnecessary, purely self-interested exclusion."
While restrictive zoning can preserve the beauty of wealthy towns, it also has a serious cultural and sociological downside, Prevost asserts.
She believes the "cumulative consequences of inflexible zoning" have contributed to a "slow-growth, aging New England" with the resulting "loss of young people, suburban sprawl, concentrated urban poverty (and) costly highway congestion."
In the chapter on Roxbury, Prevost writes with delicious irony of the battle between the wealthy newcomers and longtime locals over the proposal for a new shopping center in an area zoned commercial.
"The idea of there being a store in town was somehow offensive to these people," a lawyer pushing for the shopping center said. "These were mostly people who stocked up on their groceries at Zabar's on their way out of the city. They didn't need a grocery market."
The lawyer describes a crowded public hearing on the matter where "speaker after speaker stood up and said, `We've got to preserve the rural character of the town,' whereas actual rural characters were speaking about their desire for a store in town."
Two popular novelists will talk about their new books and a publishing guide they've written together at the New Canaan Library on Wednesday, May 22, at noon.
M.J. Rose and Randy Susan Myers teamed up for "What to Do Before Your Book Launch," in which they share information on dealing with editors, agents, publishers and readers, and how to avoid some of the major pitfalls they've experienced.
Rose's new novel "Seduction" is the follow-up to last year's popular "The Book of Lost Fragrances." Myers' latest work of fiction is "The Comfort of Lies."
The event is part of the library's Authors on Stage program and is co-sponsored by Elm Street Books.
The program is free, but reservations should be made by calling 203-594-5000. Visit www.newcanaanlibrary.org.

Understanding Audi
- Audi Space Frame
The Audi Space Frame is a high-strength aluminium frame structure into which all panels are integrated so that they also perform a load-bearing function.
In connection with these high-strength aluminium panels, the aluminium body is noted for its exceptional rigidity, resulting in high crash protection, yet also for its substantially lower weight.
The benefits of aluminium in the Audi Space Frame are reflected not only in the low weight and the high rigidity of the body, but also in a level of design freedom for parts and complex profiles that's unattainable with steel panels.
Advantages include greater safety, increased performance, improved handling, lower fuel consumption, ease of repair and attractive insurance premiums.

The Wi-Fi Body Scale by Withings
Price: $159
Pros: Automatically records and tracks weight info; data and graphs easily accessible via Web site and iPhone/ iPod Touch app; no monthly subscription fee
Cons: Considerably pricier than conventional scales; may need relatively frequent battery changes
Each January 1st marks the time when countless people adopt another round of New Year's resolutions, many of which tend to involve losing weight. Of course, one of the keys to success is staying motivated, and by taking advantage of your wireless network and Internet connection to automatically record and track your weight loss (or lack thereof), the Wi-Fi Body Scale by Withings can be a significant motivational tool.
Like many scales these days, the Withings scale measures not just your weight but your body's lean mass/fat ratio, and it also calculates your Body Mass Index (BMI). After it takes those measurements, however, the Withings scale uploads that data to a Web site where you can view it and monitor it over an extended period of time.
Design, Specs and Setup
The Withings scale (available direct or from Amazon) has an upscale look commensurate with its relatively high $159 price tag, which is two to three times what you'd pay for a decent scale at a home good store. The low-profile scale is a bit less than an inch high and sports a dark-faced glass slab with a 2.4 x 1.6- inch backlit LED display. Powered by four AAA batteries (provided), the scale is an 802.11g device; we had no trouble getting it connected to an 802.11n router (albeit in backwards-compatibility mode) configured with WPA2 security.
Speaking of getting the scale online, Withings seems to have taken pains to make the process as hassle-free as possible. The first step is to visit start.withings.com to create an account for the scale. Then you connect the scale to a computer via an included USB cable and download and run a "pairing wizard" utility (for Windows or Mac) that communicates with the device, allowing you to scan for networks and enter an encryption key. In fact, all the interaction and feedback during setup is through the wizard rather than the scale itself.
Upon successfully configuring the network connection, the wizard took the liberty of updating our scale's firmware before referring us back to the Withings Web site to set up individual password-protected user accounts. For each person's account (the scale can track up to eight people), you must provide some basic info including the user's birth date, height, and an initial approximate weight value. This last bit is used to distinguish between different users the first time they step on the scale (as having to log individual users into a scale would be a bit of a hassle). Each user also gets a three-letter "nickname" that the scale will display at each weigh-in to confirm it recognizes which person is standing on it.
Viewing and Sharing Data
Once you've set up a user account, you can step on the scale—barefoot please, so that the electrodes can measure body fat via bio-impedance—and within a few seconds the display briefly reports your weight, lean/fat body mass, and BMI. Then you can log into my.withings.com with the browser of your choice (including Google Chrome) to view your data.
The Flash-based site's UI is simple and attractive, and it provides a fair amount of control over how you view your weight data. You can overlay your personal weight goal onto the graph, and it's easy to adjust the view to see how your weight fluctuates over a period of days, weeks, or months. You can also annotate entries, delete them, and manually input data for days you might have weighed yourself on another scale, like in a hotel room or when visiting family.
Assuming you don't feel the need to keep your weight information close to your vest, the Withings site does allow you to share your data with other family members, which can, for example, be useful for parents wanting to keep tabs on a child's poundage. You can also share your data with a wider circle by posting each weigh-in info to your Twitter account (doing so seems cringeworthy at first blush, but it can arguably serve yet another motivational aid.) Although we didn't try feature for ourselves, the site also allows you to securely upload your data to a Google Health account.
To let you access your weight info on the go, Withings offers a free iPhone/iPod Touch app. It provides most of the same info and capabilities as the Web site, and has a similar look and feel. The app can even conveniently import data previously tracked in Weightbot, which worked flawlessly when we tried it.
Other Considerations
Making regular connections to Wi-Fi takes its toll on the scale's battery life, even though the unit only remains on the brief period its weighing or transmitting data. After a week of use (two people each weighing in once daily), the power remaining from the four alkaline AAA cells (according to the Withings site) was down to 88%. Extrapolated it means you should probably count on needing a fresh set of batteries roughly every two months or so, which is probably much more often than you'll need to change any other battery-powered device you own. (Rechargeables may be the way to go).
In a world where technology products that have an online service component often include a monthly subscription fee, it's refreshing to see that Withings doesn't saddle its customers with one—once you buy the scale, you're done paying. Of course, the counterargument is that recurring subscription revenue enhances a company's long-term viability, without the service to go with it, the Withings scale is a pretty ordinary device.
Serious fitness mavens with $160 to spare may find their money better spent on one of the new crop of accelerometer-based gadgets (like the Fitbit or GoWear Fit) that track an individual's daily activity level and caloric burn rate. But if you don't need that kind of detailed info and just want a device that will automatically track and graph weight without you having to build an Excel spreadsheet, the Withings scale does the job quite nicely.

Gentris Corporation Launches New Pharmacogenomics Services
Company Expands Genomic Biomarker Services by Integrating Cutting-Edge Technology Platforms
Jul 12, 2012, 03:34 ET
MORRISVILLE, N.C., July 12, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Gentris Corporation (www.gentris.com), a global leader in pharmacogenomics and biorepository services, announced today that it has expanded its genomic biomarker services by incorporating multiple technology platforms into its 24,000 sq. ft., CLIA-certified, GLP-compliant laboratory. Gentris has integrated the Affymetrix GCS3000, Sequenom MassArray, and LifeTech Ion Torrent technologies in a continued effort to identify polymorphisms involved in drug response and adverse drug events as well as in determining somatic mutations in cancer.
Gentris has utilized Affymetrix DMET™ Plus analysis in a number of clinical studies, including oncology clinical trials. DMET™ Plus analysis allows drug developers to understand how variations in drug metabolism enzymes and drug transporters between patients affects adverse drug responses and treatment efficacy. This type of analysis has been implemented by major pharmaceutical companies in Phase I through Phase III clinical trials focused on numerous therapeutic areas. Most recently, Gentris collaborated with Dr. Howard McLeod of UNC-Chapel Hill to assess the risk of sensory neuropathy in breast cancer patients with genetic variations in drug metabolizing enzymes.
With the integration of Sequenom's MassArray, Gentris is able to design customizable, multiplex panels of genes for use in clinical trials. The Company has already designed a custom panel for a top ten pharmaceutical company. In addition, Gentris offers the iPLEX ADME PGx panel, which examines 192 of the most common variants in 36 ADME genes; the OncoCarta Panel v1.0, which is a comprehensive screen of 19 oncogenes and 238 mutations; and the Sequenom Sample ID Plus panel, which ensures that chain of custody is maintained and that there is amplifiable DNA in the sample.
The latest platform to be brought online is LifeTech's Ion Torrent Personal Genome Machine (PGM) for next generation sequencing. The Ion Torrent PGM allows for rapid, deep sequencing of large areas of the genome, which can efficiently identify both common and rare variations that may better predict the safety and efficacy of new drugs in development. Currently, Gentris is using the Ion Torrent PGM for discovery initiatives with its pharmaceutical partners as well as part of a collaboration with UNC-Chapel Hill.

"The expansion of our services by using these platform technologies allows us to provide our clients quality and regulated services in all phases of the clinical development pipeline," said Dr. L.Scott Clark, Gentris Chief Scientific Officer. "It's very exciting to use the Ion Torrent for discovery initiatives, because the depth of coverage and resolution can reveal new SNPs and variations that may be clinically relevant. However, these results need to be verified on a second platform which Gentris can perform because of its extensive experience with real-time PCR, Sanger sequencing, and Sequenom platforms."
"The key to successfully implementing pharmacogenomics is to use the right platform to answer your specific question," said Dr. Howard McLeod, Director of the UNC Institute for Pharmacogenomics and Individualized Therapy and Gentris Chief Scientific Advisor. "By integrating multiple platforms, Gentris has the ability to address the needs of pharmaceutical clients during any stage in the clinical development of a drug. I'm excited to be working with them to discover, translate, and validate new biomarkers that will have an impact on patient care."
About Gentris Corporation:
Founded in 2001, Gentris is located in Research Triangle Park, NC, where it provides pharmacogenomics and biorepository support for all phases of clinical studies and genomic biomarker programs. The Company works with academic and industry leaders to translate innovations in pharmacogenomics into safer, more effective medicines, which can lead to accelerated drug development and improvement in patient care globally.

You could write the date out to a file and check this file each time the script is run.
2. Re: Trial or Time limited versionsGreenShoot2 Aug 9, 2011 7:18 AM (in response to Paul Riggott)
Would not changing the system date get around this?

I think others may use an internet look up with the socket object… for number of runs you would only need an integer so no problem in writing that to file… You didn't actually say which language or OS so do you mean ExtendScript and both? With AppleScript you would just store a script 'property' variable and check or change on each run… It would have been nice to find something like this in the ESTK too…
4. Re: Trial or Time limited versionsGreenShoot2 Aug 9, 2011 8:15 AM (in response to Muppet Mark)
Thanks for the reply.
I was looking at javascript for the cross-platform capability - I'm not an expert coder by any means so I was hoping someone knew of an 'off the shelf' solution like there is for exe files.
5. Re: Trial or Time limited versionsPaul Riggott Aug 9, 2011 8:22 AM (in response to GreenShoot2)
Changing the system date would get around it but the user would have to change the system time to the time the trial started to the expiry time. Not many users would want to change the system time as it would impact on a multitude of things.
6. Re: Trial or Time limited versionsandosg_Ryan Apr 7, 2012 7:53 AM (in response to Paul Riggott)
Just thinking aloud, i am too looking for a mean to create time limited usage on my scripts.
Is it possible to have a "file" which records either the amount of time, or the number of times the script has been used. The next question is, how do we avoid our potential "clients" from tampering with that particular file?
If the script open and cant find that particular file, it will not run.
Script open the file and read off how many times the file has been run.
If the maximum time has been reached, file closes.
If not, finish up the script and then add Count+1 into the file and close the file.
7. Re: Trial or Time limited versionsPaul Riggott Apr 8, 2012 2:26 AM (in response to andosg_Ryan)
One possibility is to use the registry if on a windows system, you could create a key(s) to store information that could be retrieved on each run of the script.
Here is a basic example of a trial script set for 30 days (each day starts at 12 noon).
main(); function main(){ if(!$.os.match(/windows/gi)){ alert("Sorry this is a Windows only script"); return; } var maxTrialDays = 30; var VBFile = File(Folder.temp + "/v.vbs"); var daySince1970 = File(Folder.temp + "/v.dat"); if(daySince1970.exists) daySince1970.remove(); if(VBFile.exists) VBFile.remove(); VBFile.open('w'); var VB = 'Option Explicit\r' + 'Dim Temp, Secs, timeStart, fso , tempfolder, dateFile\r' + 'On error resume next\r' + 'Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")\r' + 'Const TemporaryFolder = 2\r' + 'Set tempfolder = fso.GetSpecialFolder(TemporaryFolder)\r'+ 'Set dateFile = fso.CreateTextFile(tempfolder & "\\\\v.dat")\r' + 'timeStart = "1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM"\r' + 'Secs = Cint(datediff("s", timeStart, now())/86400)\r' + 'Temp = ReadReg("HKCU\\SOFTWARE\\Trial\\MyScript")\r' + 'If Err.Number <> 0 then\r' + 'Err.Clear\r' + 'Temp = WriteReg("HKCU\\SOFTWARE\\Trial\\MyScript",Secs,"REG_DWORD")\r' + 'Temp = ReadReg("HKCU\\SOFTWARE\\Trial\\MyScript")\r' + 'dateFile.Write(Temp)\r' + 'dateFile.Close\r' + 'else\r' + 'Err.Clear\r' + 'dateFile.WriteLine(Temp)\r' + 'dateFile.Close\r' + 'end if\r' + 'fso.DeleteFile tempfolder & "\\\\v.vbs", True\r' + 'Function WriteReg(RegPath, Value, RegType)\r' + 'Dim objRegistry, Key\r' + 'Set objRegistry = CreateObject("Wscript.shell")\r' + 'Key = objRegistry.RegWrite(RegPath, Value, RegType)\r' + 'WriteReg = Key\r' + 'End Function\r' + 'Function ReadReg(RegPath)\r' + 'Dim objRegistry, Key\r' + 'Set objRegistry = CreateObject("Wscript.shell")\r' + 'Key = objRegistry.RegRead(RegPath)\r' + 'ReadReg = Key\r' + 'End Function\r' VBFile.write(VB); VBFile.close(); VBFile.execute(); while(!daySince1970.exists){} $.sleep(100); var dayNow = (Math.round(new Date().getTime()/1000/86400)); daySince1970.open('r'); var originalDay = Number(daySince1970.read()); daySince1970.close(); if(dayNow < originalDay) { alert("Someone has reset the time!"); return; } var daysUsed = (dayNow + 1 ) - originalDay; if(daysUsed > maxTrialDays){ alert("Your trial period has expired\rThank you for trying this script\rwww.mysite.co.uk"); return; } alert("This is the trial code\rLucky you\rYou have "+ (maxTrialDays - daysUsed) + " days left"); }
8. Re: Trial or Time limited versionsandosg_Ryan Apr 8, 2012 4:45 AM (in response to Paul Riggott)
Hi Paul!
Assuming the users do not reset their system timing. What is preventing them from looking up the key and changing the start date?
Could there be a way to encrypt the "key" so that no one can access the it? Like a password only the script knows.
I am guessing that so far, no script has been so valuable that it can be sold??
9. Re: Trial or Time limited versionsPaul Riggott Apr 8, 2012 5:07 AM (in response to andosg_Ryan)
Yes it could be encrypted as an extra precaution, but as the script will be in binary (should be) the user would have to find the registry entry associated with the script and then they would not know the registry was being used as the vb file is deleted after it has been run.
This would script would stop most users, but there are always some clever people out there that can crack it.
10. Re: Trial or Time limited versionsxbytor2 Apr 8, 2012 7:55 AM (in response to Paul Riggott)
Paul is correct. The script has to be a binary. Using the registry this way is security via obscurity: most people won't think of looking there or easily guess the registry entry. That being said, there are tools out there that watch registry IO. Or so I've been told...
If you were to use encryption, DES should be fine. You just have to provide '0' encrypted as the first file (along with some random text) and fail if the file is not there. Using the registry won't work. An alternative is to use persistent app.get/setCustomOptions.
I am guessing that so far, no script has been so valuable that it can be sold??
I did something similar for a client in ActionScript a couple of years ago because they wanted to sell the script. I got it working but it was a serious pain and I won't do it again.
I (and many others) have made money writing scripts not selling scripts.
11. Re: Trial or Time limited versionsandosg_Ryan Apr 8, 2012 8:21 AM (in response to xbytor2)
Hi, Yes. I understand now that the script would have to be a binary. However, as i have limited capability with Window Registry, where in the Window's Registry would i find that particular "key" in Paul's script?
In addition, is there any ways to prevent circulation of your own script? ie, when i send it to a particular client, i do not wish that he sends it to multiple of his associates. I understand that Paul's script actually stop working after 30days but it can be sent to multiple other computers...
My intention is to simple have something like a script that cannot be shared with others, and also expires on its own. Would that be impossible?
12. Re: Trial or Time limited versionsPaul Riggott Apr 8, 2012 8:41 AM (in response to andosg_Ryan)
Making the script machine dependant would be difficult, what you could do is send a script to the client to run and e-mail the output to you.
This script could get system information, scramble it so the user does not know what you have. Then use this information in the trial script to check it is running on the correct machine.
The key in the example (it can be changed to whatever you want it to be) can be found using Start (type in the search box) regedit
and navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software > Trial
13. Re: Trial or Time limited versionsandosg_Ryan Apr 11, 2012 3:55 AM (in response to Paul Riggott)
I believe this might actually work! But what kind of system information is unique and yet accessible to a script? I have little experience in this matter.
14. Re: Trial or Time limited versionsPaul Riggott Apr 11, 2012 4:11 AM (in response to andosg_Ryan)
There are several things that you can get,, you can even get the Photoshop serial number, but that takes too much time. What I would suggest is use characters from the system variables.
You can select more or less characters or from other enviroment setting and I would think this method would make it fairly unique to each machine.
To see the different enviroment settings go to a DOS prompt and type in SET
var sendMe = File(Folder.desktop + "/Please send me this.txt"); var UN = $.getenv("username"); var PA = $.getenv("path"); var CN = $.getenv("computername"); var testString = ''; testString += UN[1] + UN[0]; //get the second and first character from Username testString += CN[parseInt(CN.length/2)]; //Get the character that is from half the length of the Computer Name testString += PA[3] + PA[parseInt(PA.length/3)]; //Get the character from a third of the length of the Path sendMe.open('w'); sendMe.writeln(testString); sendMe.close(); alert("Please send me 'Please send me this.txt' that is on your desktop");
15. Re: Trial or Time limited versionsAndy_Bat1 Oct 6, 2013 11:56 PM (in response to Paul Riggott)
hello to all !
prompt, where you can view the complete list of getenv ? In this script, the user can change the patch and the script does not work? I think that I need to bind to harware - motherboard, network card, etc.
16. Re: Trial or Time limited versionsDavide_Barranca Oct 7, 2013 3:28 PM (in response to Andy_Bat1)
Try these:
/* WINDOWS */ $.writeln("ALLUSERSPROFILE == "+ $.getenv("ALLUSERSPROFILE")); $.writeln("APPDATA == "+ $.getenv("APPDATA")); $.writeln("CommonProgramFiles == "+ $.getenv("CommonProgramFiles")); $.writeln("COMPUTERNAME == "+ $.getenv("COMPUTERNAME")); $.writeln("ComSpec == "+ $.getenv("ComSpec")); $.writeln("HOMEDRIVE == "+ $.getenv("HOMEDRIVE")); $.writeln("HOMEPATH == "+ $.getenv("HOMEPATH")); $.writeln("LOGONSERVER == "+ $.getenv("LOGONSERVER")); $.writeln("NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS == "+ $.getenv("NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS")); $.writeln("OS == "+ $.getenv("OS")); $.writeln("Os2LibPath == "+ $.getenv("Os2LibPath")); $.writeln("Path == "+ $.getenv("Path")); $.writeln("PATHEXT == "+ $.getenv("PATHEXT")); $.writeln("PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE == "+ $.getenv("PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE")); $.writeln("PROCESSOR_IDENTIFIER == "+ $.getenv("PROCESSOR_IDENTIFIER")); $.writeln("PROCESSOR_LEVEL == "+ $.getenv("PROCESSOR_LEVEL")); $.writeln("PROCESSOR_REVISION == "+ $.getenv("PROCESSOR_REVISION")); $.writeln("ProgramFiles == "+ $.getenv("ProgramFiles")); $.writeln("SystemDrive == "+ $.getenv("SystemDrive")); $.writeln("SystemRoot == "+ $.getenv("SystemRoot")); $.writeln("TEMP == "+ $.getenv("TEMP")); $.writeln("TMP == "+ $.getenv("TMP")); $.writeln("USERDOMAIN == "+ $.getenv("USERDOMAIN")); $.writeln("USERNAME == "+ $.getenv("USERNAME")); $.writeln("USERPROFILE == "+ $.getenv("USERPROFILE")); $.writeln("windir == "+ $.getenv("windir")); /* MAC */ function getSystemCommandStdout (command) { var stdout = null; var tempFile = new File (Folder.temp + "/temp.txt"); app.system (command + " > " + tempFile.fsName); if (tempFile.open ("r")) { stdout = tempFile.read (); tempFile.close (); tempFile.remove (); } return stdout; } alert ("Photoshop environment variables:\r" + getSystemCommandStdout ("printenv"));

Tell me, how do I run "getmac" from JS ? I want to link your script to the network card
18. Re: Trial or Time limited versionsDBarranca Oct 29, 2013 3:39 PM (in response to Andy_Bat1)
Give this one a try:
(I'm not on PC so I don't know what kind of params getmac needs)
19. Re: Trial or Time limited versionsAndy_Bat1 Oct 30, 2013 3:03 AM (in response to DBarranca)
return 0, but open msdos window and executed command...
20. Re: Trial or Time limited versionsMichael L Hale Oct 30, 2013 1:12 PM (in response to Andy_Bat1)
Yes app.system() will not return the output of the comand string. For something like this you could use a DOS redirect to file to save the output as a file the have the script read the file.
app.system() is asynchronous so timing between the system call and reading the file will be a problem. And it is not supported on all version of Photoshop.
21. Re: Trial or Time limited versionsPolycontrast Jun 5, 2018 4:54 PM (in response to Davide_Barranca)
The function works fine to get the Photoshop environment variables in a Mac. These variables do not include the computer name/model. What approach can I use to identify the hardware in a script where the files are processed?
OSX MacBook Pro

New Business? Try North Dakota
North Dakota was recently named the third best state to do business in a CNBC survey, up from fifth place in 2012 and just behind South Dakota, which was number one, and number two ranking Texas. According to the survey, one of the forces driving the state's strong finish was its number two ranking in the economy category, spurred by record oil production in the Bakken Oil Fields.
But with agriculture still the largest industry in North Dakota, some area business leaders believe that while oil production in the west may be partially responsible for the state's prosperity, the agricultural industry in the eastern portion of the state is still North Dakota's most important industry.
"Agriculture isn't enough to sustain any state," said CNBC's Scott Cohn in an interview last week. "But it's a terrific base."

SAN ANTONIO (AP) Raymond Felton scored 25 points and the New York Knicks stayed undefeated by rallying to beat the San Antonio Spurs 104-100 on Thursday night.
J.R. Smith added 17 points, Jason Kidd had 14 and Tyson Chandler 13 for the Knicks (6-0), who closed on a 22-11 run to remain the NBA's lone unbeaten team.
Tony Parker led San Antonio (7-2) with 19 points and 12 assists. Kawhi Leonard added 16 points and Tim Duncan had 14 points and 14 rebounds.
Smith and Kidd hit consecutive 3-pointers to give the Knicks a 100-95 lead with a minute left in the game.
NEW YORK (AP) - Joe Johnson made the tiebreaking basket with 3:03 left, Deron Williams and Brook Lopez each scored 24 points, and Brooklyn won its fourth straight.
Williams had eight assists and made all nine free throws on a night Paul Pierce had two huge misses in the final minute for the Celtics, who played without injured point guard Rajon Rondo.
Johnson finished with 19 points and eight rebounds for the Nets in front of a sold-out crowd of 17,732.
Pierce scored 22 points and Leandro Barbosa had 17 in place of Rondo, who was out with a sprained right ankle. Kevin Garnett added 14 points but Boston had its three-game win streak snapped and lost to the Nets for just the third time in 21 meetings.

A Food Blog that shares tried & true recipes, and my passion for cooking and baking with a garnish of beginning gardening and some travel.

A Year of Feasts for the Eyes from 2010
Sardinian Sausage Sauce and Ciccione pasta. I couldn't find the recipe online, and I didn't have her cookbook. I felt like an honorary Italian for a day.
Eggs In Purgatory"!
Lamb Burger, glazed with fig jam and caramelized onion. Just looking at this photo makes me drool at the memory biting into this, and tasting the feta cheese that I had stuffed in side.
Seared Scallop and Pasta dish is not only super fast to make-- it's one of my favorite recipes that I've made.
Tex-Mex Chili Gravy. At last, I could have my favorite cheese & onion enchiladas, right at home. This is comfort food!
soft pretzels, and these were much easier than I thought they'd be. These were a big hit for my annual Oktoberfest party. I won't be waiting a whole year to make these again.
I love to bake, and I have to give this Savory Crostata pastry my own special award for it's flavor. The pastry is tender, and the addition of marscarpone and Parmesan cheese yielded a flavorful pastry that made me do a happy dance.
Lemon Curd Ice Cream when I was gifted with a jar of homemade lemon curd.
homemade lemon curd and more of this ice cream. This is my favorite ice cream recipe, so far.
Cook's Illustrated winning recipe. The sponge cake is one that I've used for other recipes.
I am a fan of the Pioneer Woman's recipes, but I have to limit how often I make them. If I had her busy life on a cattle ranch, maybe I could indulge in many of her butter-laden recipes. However, I can see myself eating a slice or two of her Perfect Pound Cake. Ree Drummond knows how to pick great recipes!
Lick the Bowl Good" into flying out from Texas. She agreed to be my roommate and travel companion in San Francisco. I drove 2 hours north to pick her up at the airport, and the adventure began! We attended the Foodbuzz Food Blogger Festival, along with over 300 bloggers from around the world! Even though I'm old enough to be Monica's mom, I didn't feel an age barrier between us. I felt as though our meeting was simply a formality because we got along great and shared a lot of laughs.
Foodbuzz arranged for gourmet food trucks to be parked inside Ft. Mason. Here is a local chef and friend, Todd Fisher and his lovely wife (Ada) posing with Monica. Todd presented a winning recipe from Fresh Express-- which is located in the Salinas Valley where I live.
Of course, we tooled around San Francisco in my car. (We won't talk about how I lost my wallet, and someone turned it in for me. Or, our adventure through some sketchy parts of San Francisco at night-- trying to navigate back to our hotel.
Other lovely "faces" from the Foodbuzz even is (top left) Joan of Foodalogue, and lovely Val of More than Burnt Toast. I loved meeting this lovely young gal from New Jersey, Allie of "All I Eat Food!"
In the summer of 2010, I had to make a huge adjustment in my work schedule. I'm gone from early morning until almost 9:00 at night. As a result, I find that time has become very scarce to edit and post recipes that I've made. I'm a perfectionist, yes indeed. Each post is about a two-hour investment for me, as I try to decided which of the many photos I take will best show you how I made something. I do my best to carve out time to post at least one or two recipes per week.
I'm so thankful to all of you who visit my blog on a regular basis. It is my joy to share with you-- and to show you-- the dishes that I prepare for my husband and my son. I have come a long way in how I photograph food. I've overcome my aversions to certain foods-- such as curry, butternut squash and garbanzo beans! I still have many recipes on my "Bucket List" that I hope to learn. Many of the inspirations come from you!
Tomorrow is the last day of 2010. Overall, I feel very blessed with all that I have. I'm looking forward to another year of new recipes and good health for all of us!
Happy New Year!

Oh yum! Everytime I see that burger I drool. Maybe it's the glaze, but it just wants me to eat it!
I'm so glad you finally decided to share some photos from our trip. I love the photos of Sam and I at WS and at the ferry building. Will you send those to me please, ma'am?
Also I think Allie's friend is Sarah.

Deb, I loved your recap of 2010. The Swiss Chard Galette sticks out in my mind, and your Eggs in Purgatory make you an honorary Italian more so than the gnocchi!
Have a wonderful year full of good food, friends, health and love!

Today, I intend to make your Tex-Mex Chile gravy to serve with the tamales I'm making. We used to eat at a fabulous little Mexican restaurant that we nicknamed "Tamale Lady's" and my favorite thing was the gravy for the tamales. I will also make your Cheese and Onion enchiladas, too.
I'm glad to see that you featured the recipe in your 2010 wrap-up. Thanks for the great recipes and the beautiful blog.

I never left a comment on your blog before but after your "Year of Feasts" post I couldn't resist. Your pictures always have me drooling!! I guess you can say I'm a blog lurker (LOL)! I have been truly enjoying your delicious looking recipes and blog. You are a very talented woman. I'm not sure how I came across your blog but I'm a personal chef and you are an inspiration for sure. I have been wanting to start a blog for quite some time but I'm photo challenged plus I'll use the excuse of being busy working and my 3 kids. Then there's what to name it (LOL). In any case, you seem busier than me so I have no excuse. Wishing you and your family a healthy, happy and delicious 2011! I look forward to more of your delicious looking recipes - thanks!

SCHENECTADY >> The Schenectady County Community College Board of Trustees unanimously approved a resolution Monday supporting the proposed Rivers Casino & Resort at Mohawk Harbor.
SCCC, which offers upstate's only casino and gaming management degree program, also announced plans to offer job training for the new Schenectady casino location at both its Schenectady campus as well as the SCCC extension site at 112 State St. in downtown Albany.
"Rivers Casino & Resort will offer tremendous job opportunities for SCCC students and graduates from our Casino and Gaming Management, Hospitality and Tourism, Culinary Arts and Hotel and Restaurant Management programs," said SCCC Acting President Martha Asselin. "We greatly look forward to working with Rush Street Gaming to place trained employees in new careers rights here in Schenectady at Mohawk Harbor, which is very close to the SCCC main campus."
The Galesi Group and Rush Street Gaming are partnering to build a $450 million development at Mohawk Harbor that will create 1,250 new, permanent jobs plus hundreds of construction jobs.
The casino and gaming management degree program was developed by the college in anticipation of the expansion of casino gaming in New York. SCCC's Culinary and Hotel Management programs will also benefit as Mohawk Harbor will include two new hotels and restaurants.
Anthony Jasenski, chair of the Schenectady County Legislature, said, "We appreciate this vote of support by SCCC's Board of Trustees. Schenectady has a shovel ready site, strong community support, the best casino operator and the strongest local developer all working together to create a dynamic new waterfront destination. With SCCC's full support, we also have the best training program to link job seekers with new careers."
The New York State Gaming Commission has called for casino applications by the end of the month. The state is expected to make a decision on casino licensing in the fall.

Alternative payment methods are pretty much the hottest topic around, and last week EE previewed its new NFC smartphone wallet. Retailers, however, are pretty adamant NFC wallets are not worth their time.
At the same time, marketers are still plugging away with new advertising campaigns using NFC technology to deliver content. Is this anything other than a fad?
In this post I look at the uses of NFC, assess some recent campaigns, and ponder what the future holds. (Major hat tip to NFC World, where I found a bunch of the campaign info).
Tomorrow's World: rubbing phones together
When the iPhone 5 was released without NFC capability, last year, it was reported as noteworthy. This could've been Apple-launch hysteria, making every feature, or lack thereof, seem big enough to chatter about.
But maybe this was a big deal? Maybe Apple was wrong not to include NFC? Or does Apple define the market? Was this Apple indicating NFC wasn't worth bothering with, and thereby making it so?
Have I already asked too many rhetorical questions and used too many italics?
A lot of the fuss around NFC was due to the concept of peer-to-peer touching (excuse the choice of phrase). Touching NFC handsets (here's a list) to share information or to play games together etc, was sort of a Tomorrow's World concept that briefly excited the market.
Now this has largely been forgotten, after the sudden realisation that no meeting is ever fleeting enough to demand the snatched rubbing together of our phones (and the tech investment therein). Cloud services and Bluetooth seem to do the trick for much of our peer-to-peer sharing.
Payment: NFC or digital wallets?
The industry consensus is that digital wallets, or Ewallets, are a big idea. Crucially, without NFC. The transfer happens in the cloud, between a consumer's app and the merchant's PoS app. Square gives the best explanation of how digital wallets work, and how much time and hassle they can save customers.
There are tons of reasons a user would get involved. No worrying about cash or cards, incentives offered, time saved. And, there are a number of options for digital wallets, including PayPal and Lemon Wallet.
Droplet, a UK-founded digital wallet, is of particular interest as a payment solution that doesn't charge the user or the merchant any fees. The user is incentivised by the ability to earn vouchers, and the merchants are displayed on a map of the local area, to increase awareness.
Then there are a whole host of other digital wallets designed to work for online transactions, such as V.me from VISA, effectively removing your bank details from the transaction, increasing ease of checkout.
Google Wallet: value for merchants?
And then there are smartphone payment systems involving NFC, like Google Wallet, and EE's recently launched smartphone app with MasterCard. The key difference with these two is that using them in-store requires NFC, touching your phone to a reader, rather than paying through the cloud.
Online, Google Wallet works like V.me, and also allows payment to be sent by email. Check out the video because it's really rather nifty.
And here's the problem with smartphone NFC (tapping to pay retailers in-store) the retailers don't see how it adds value for them.
Tesco's Lyndon Lee, Enterprise Consultant Architect, told NFC World:
At Tesco, we focus entirely on the consumer relationship. We are developing a digital wallet, focusing on marketing and loyalty aspects, but payment may not enter the wallet. We have a payment system in place already and we don't want to disrupt it if it doesn't add any value.
Contactless cards are already there and they already have value. Mobile NFC payments have no value to us; it has lack of consumer experience and it is too complicated so I don't see a future. It is a very stagnant market.
Unsurprisingly, as their product is not NFC enabled, Square echoes these sentiments. COO, Keith Rabois, says "I've never met a single merchant in the U.S. who says I want this NFC thing".
I don't think we should underestimate Google's ability to push technology like this into the mainstream, but the noises from the market are clear. Contactless credit and debit cards, yes, smartphones, no.
Examples of NFC in marketing
British Airways. Solving airport hell with NFC?
The recent announcement that British Airways staff members are trialling re-usable luggage tags was reported in the mainstream news, mainly because we're all aware of the absolute purgatory of the airport.
Anything that could get rid of queuing for luggage check would be worth as much as oversized duty free Toblerone.
The tags have e-ink in them that display your unique barcode for flight check-in. They don't require a power source and when you next need to travel, you update or rewrite the tag's barcode with your NFC-enabled phone and its corresponding app. I wonder if British Airways have supplied all staff with an NFC enabled Samsung or similar?
Therein lies the first drawback with NFC: not all phones are enabled. And so when the app and luggage tag are eventually launched, the tag will work via Bluetooth, too. So, no need for NFC technology then?
Content delivery: Gabrielle Aplin, South West Trains
Seamlessly 'grabbing' samples of music and literature at a gig, or when travelling, sounds like a great idea, and some are trying to do this with NFC.
Nukemobi recently worked with media owner Popcorn Outdoor on 15 NFC-enabled touchpoints at various gig venues across the UK.
The touchpoints are placed next to posters promoting Gabrielle Aplin's debut album and users can listen to sample tracks, sign up for a fan newsletter or enter a competition. Links to buy the album online are also provided.
I haven't yet seen any feedback on the success of this campaign, but it might not pay to hold your breath if the next case study is indicative.
South West Trains has trialled this type of NFC use, too. On-train media company KBH has introduced a new advertising service called Tap4Offers on 360 South West Trains carriages and plans to extend the service across the UK.
Each touchpoint uses both NFC tags and QR codes (as well as SMS) to provide users with offers, deals and vouchers tailored to the interests of rail passengers.
"Since launch we have had over 10,000 users of the service," KBH On-Train Media told NFC World. "Of these 10,000 users, 33% of them have interacted with the service via the NFC tags."
So that's still only around 3,500 uses of the content via NFC smartphones, from around the same number of tags, equating to a single smartphone touch per tag.
And this is why - the improper implementation of technology for a marketing campaign is a massive annoyance for users. It makes us distrust the technology and would be more baffling if it wasn't quickly dismissed as a fad.
Check out this hilarious blog post detailing the complete failure of the initial trial.
Product info: Adidas
Adidas is adding a "lace jewel" with an embedded NFC chip to its Boost running shoes, sending product info and reviews to NFC smartphones at a tap.
The system is now live in stores in New York and California. Store assistants are also being equipped with NFC phones which they can use to register a customer's purchase.
In these instances, it's imperative stores provide good free WiFi, to enable customers to take advantage.
Clear Channel: bus stops
Probably the most visible use of NFC, for Londoners. Clear Channel has NFC points on bus stops that allow NFC smartphone users (and those with QR code readers) to access websites, and to enter competitions.
Another blog post with some fruity language explains how this was initially yet another use that wasn't working properly at the tags unveiling, leading to a confusing experience for the consumer. However, the roll-out was some months ago, and many campaigns have come and go on the stops since then.
Again, the customer needs a phone signal, but that's not a problem in London.
Space saver: South Downs
One place signal might be a problem? The beautiful South Downs of England.
NFC tags and QR codes have been added to 40 wooden way signs along the South Downs Way, a 100-mile walking route through the South Downs National Park.
Here's a rather cute BBC report:
Visitors can use QR codes or NFC to access map references, YouTube videos, photos, local history, audio commentary and info on local wildlife.
I think this is an inspired use case, providing there is good phone signal at these wooden way signs. This forum suggests perhaps not.
Ads. The captive taxicab market
Blue Bite is using the mTag platform for advertising in 5,000 US cabs. Passengers see video or static messages on screen and tap an NFC tag or scan a QR code on the panel to access promos, maps and coupons.
The mTag platform will be available in cabs across New York, Boston, Chicago, San Francisco, Philadelphia and Anaheim by September 2013, with further expansion planned.
This is an almost captive market, and it would be great to see what the uptake is in the back of these cabs.
And parking meters?
To end, a rare example of NFC smartphone payment out there in the wild that could be one of those adoptions that helps Google Wallet and EE. If 500,000 Mackay parking meters begin to accept NFC smartphone wallets worldwide, that'll be a good encouragement for adoption.
- Unless Google pulls a hell of a lot of users on board, NFC smartphone payment doesn't look set to take off.
- The early adopters of smartphone wallets will use them a lot online, as well as on the high street, and so NFC is only one aspect of the payment debate.
- For the marketers, there are the perennial difficulties with NFC, as with QR. Internet connection, user confusion, campaign confusion, and therefore no adoption. And of the two, QR codes are cheaper.
- Some use cases are more compelling than others, with NFC tags a handy space saving device. But, Google is getting better and better at local marketing through search and maps, and serving relevant info and offers so perhaps the smartphone is becoming powerful enough in this regard without the need to put tags everywhere?
- Of course, there are tons of uses for RFiD tags, connecting objects to the internet (the so-called Internet of Things). And some every day uses are very much up and running, for instance, enabling recognition at car tolls.
On the whole, we're going to see contactless credit cards boom, mobile wallets boom, local and targeted marketing boom, but I think NFC will ultimately disappear.
If you have constructive criticism, clarifications or ideas of your own, please fire away in the comments.
Edit: Check out the counter piece on NFC - Tap on the map: maybe I was wrong about NFC
Comments (6)
The majority of the article is very good, but in regards to payments its not quite accurate.
The Hardware required for reading and processing contactless credit cards is also the same for Smartphones, so I can't see why retailers won't want to use smartphones for payments if they think contactless is a good idea?
Yes, I'd pondered the same thing, but I believe it's due to lack of clarity around security. A sort of too-many-cooks scenario. See this post http://www.mobilenewscwp.co.uk/2013/05/20/nfc-mobile-payments-fixing-the-big-issues/
For a Bluetooth luggage tag to work, it must have power (button battery would last for 2-5 years).
There is a major use case missing from your analysis - transit. An NFC-enabled device delivers a ton of compelling benefits there, and it doesn't have to be a mobile phone...
Many thanks! I mentioned road tolls briefly, but yes I bet there's some great stuff to be done in travel and transit.
Yes, there are lots of smart card schemes around - for example, all over 60s in the are eligible for a smart card that allows them to travel free on buses. Commercial schemes are starting to emerge outside London at last.
There are problems with getting these tickets onto NFC phones - both technical and cultural - but succesful trials have been done. You can download apps from Google Play that will let your NFC phone read ITSOsmart cards.
To respond to an earlier comment - I don't think retailers see a benefit from contactless payments. I believe they get charged more for a contactless transaction than a chip and pin transaction. I make a point of trying to use contactless wherever I can, and usually you get, "this one doesn't work", or, "give me your card, so I can do it for your", or "you can only use contactless if you spend over £5" - so I conclude that retailers don't really care for the technology.
My guess is that its the banks, who want to stop having to count so much cash. But to get it accepted on the high street, they have to co-opt the retailers so that they are evangelising rather than adopting reluctantly.
When (if) contactles payments gain sufficient usage, people will move easily to using an NFC phone (look at the success of Starbucks with its closed barcode payments app) - as long as the phone manufacturers haven't moved on to a horse of a different colur by then!
Thanks for the comment. Isn't Starbucks effectively a voucher scheme? You pay for credit, them redeem? Like an exclusive mobile wallet?
I agree, though, in theory phone is no different to card as regards to tech on the retailer's side. But for the customer, it's a lot different than using a card.
I think the fact that spending time researching all these payment methods leaves us in the industry a bit confused speaks volumes. The customer is gonna need a while longer.
I'm starting to feel like being broke will be a blessed relief :-)


text: DERBY – The Family Dollar Store, with locations in Newport City and Orleans, is expanding its Northeast Kingdom territory once again. This time the company is opening a store on US RT 5, across from McDonald's.The store will be in a new building on property owned by Jim Mulkin.The new store will be about 8,000 square feet, the same as the store on Main Street in Orleans. The store in downtown Newport is 10,000 square feet. Bryn Winburn, public relations manager of Family Dollar Stores Inc., said the store is scheduled to open within the first six months of 2013. Neither store in Newport City or Orleans will close even though both are located within 15-minutes or so of each other."We are a neighborhood store and serve the needs of the families in the immediate vicinity of our stores," she stated in an e-mail. "It's not uncommon to have Family Dollar Stores within a mile or two of one another."Each store within the company has eight to ten employees. The company uses "sophisticated modeling software" and real estate personnel to choose locations. Winburn said the company does not sell over-runs or seconds. The new location will also be open for Village Pizza. Josh Lavallee, who will buy the new location, said there are plans to open in late January, providing there are no problems. Once open, the 2,800 square foot restaurant will have seating for 74 people. It will offer a limited area delivery service. The restaurant will have televisions and wireless Internet access.

Zahra fund spokesman has record
A fund was set up to provide financial and counseling support as police continue the search for a 10-year-old girl who was was reported missing 11 days ago.
And while one of the organizers of the Zahra Baker Fund was convicted of obtaining property under false pretenses, officials from the fund's parent organization, the Spiritual Counseling Network, say the felony charge shouldn't stop people from giving.
The fund, which was established Friday, aims to provide monetary and counseling support for those involved in the search for Zahra.
The Zahra Baker Fund's spokesman, the Rev. Brandon Greeson, was convicted of felony obtaining property under false pretenses, which occurred in 2006, according to court documents.
Dr. Timothy Curtis, Spiritual Counseling Network board president, said he knew Greeson was charged with obtaining property under false pretenses when Greeson started working at SCN, where Greeson is director of marketing and outreach.
"God rarely calls the qualified," Curtis said. "He qualifies the called."

Shawabty of an unidentified queen
Napatan Period, reign of Tanwetamani (?)
Findspot: Nubia (Sudan), el-Kurru, Pyramid 61, in debris
Overall: 7.3 cm (2 7/8 in.)
Accession Number
Medium or Technique
Not On View
This is a shawabty belonging to an unidentified queen. The female figure wears a bag wig which is indicated by an incised line on the back. There is no uraeus. The shawabty is uninscribed. The mummiform figure does not have a back pillar, but there is a small base. The arms are crossed right over left, a hoe is held in the right hand resting on the left shoulder and the left hand holds a cord to a small bag slung over the right shoulder. The bag is indicated by a simple 'u' shaped incised line. The figure is half moulded and the back is smoothed. The object was broken in two pieces and is not mended.
The ancient Nubians included shawabtys in their tombs only in the Napatan Period, about 750–270 B.C. These funerary figurines are based on Egyptian shawabtys, but differ from them in many features of their iconography. For instance, the known Nubian examples are only from royal tombs. Also, they have unique texts, implements, poses and are known to have the largest number of shawabtys included in one tomb. Their function, it is assumed, was the same as that of the Egyptian shawabty, namely to magically animate in the Afterlife in order to act as a proxy for the deceased when called upon to tend to field labor or other tasks. This expressed purpose was sometimes written on the shawabty itself in the form of a "Shawabty Spell," of which versions of various lengths are known. Shorter shawabty inscriptions could also just identify the deceased by name and, when applicable, title(s). However, many shawabtys carry no text at all. The ideal number of such figurines to include in a tomb or burial seems to have varied during different time periods.
