IS it "to feel our strength— Not our bloom only, but our strength—decay? Is it to feel each limb Grow stiffer. every function less exact, Each nerve more weakly strung? Yes,this, and more! but not. Ah, tis not what Ih youth 'twould be! 'Tis not to have our life Mellowed and softened a A golden day's decline I we 'dreamed with sunset glow, 'Tis not to see the world As from a height with rapt prophetic eyes, And heart profoundly stirred; And weep, and feel the fullness of the past The years that are no more! It. is to siJencTlong days And not once feel that we were ever.young, It is to add, immured In the hot prison of the present, month To mouth with weary pain. It is to suffer this, And feel but half, and feebly, what we feel, Deep in our bidden heart Festers the dull remembrance of a change, But no emotion—none. It is—last stage of all— When we are frozen up within, and quite The phantom of ourselves, To hear the world applaud the hollow ghost Which blamed the living man. From the St. Louis Republican.

Constantinople, August 31,1807. When I" think*how I have been swindled by books of Oriental travel, I want a tourist "fpr breakfast'.— For- years and years I have dreamed of the wonders of the Turkish batk.; for years and years I have promised myself that I would yet enjoy one. Many and many a time, in fancy, 1 have lain in the marble bath, and breathed the slumbrous fragrance of Eastern spices that filled the air ; then passed through a wierd and complicated system of pulling and hauling and drenching and scrubbing by a gang of naked savages who loomed vast and vaguely through the steaming mists-like demons; then rested for a while on a divan fit-for a king : then passed throngh another complex ordeal, and one more fearful than the first • and finally, swathed in soft fabrics, was conveyed to a princely saloon and laid on a bed of eider down, where eunuchs, gorgeous of costume, fanned me while I drowsed and dreamed, or contentedly gazed at the rich hangings of the apartment, the soft carpets, the sumptuous furniture, the picture^ j and drank delicious coffee, smoked the soothing narghili, and dropped, at the last, into tranquil repose, lulled by sensuous odors from unseen censers, by the gentle influence of the narghili's Persian tobacco, and by the music of fountains that counterfeited the pattering of summer rain. That was the picture, just as I got it from incendiary books of travel. It was a poor, miserable fraud. The reality is no more like it than the Five Points are like the Garden of Eden. Thoy received me in a great court, paved with marble slabs; around it were broad galleries, one above another, carpeted with seedy matting, railed with unpainted balustrades, and furnished with huge, rickety 'ahairs, cushioned with rapty old mattrassea, indented by impressions left by the forms of nine successive generations of men who bad reposed upon them. The place was vast, naked, dreary ; its courts a barn, its galleries stalls for human horses. The cadaverous, half-nude, var- lets that served in the establishment had nothing of poetry in their appearance, nothisg ,of romance, nothing of oriental, splendor. They shed no entrancing odors—just the contrary. Their hungry eyes and their lank forms continually suggested one glaring, unsentimental fact—they wanted a "square meal." I went up inta'ane of the raoks and undressed. An unclean starveling wrapped a gaudy table-cloth about my loins and hung a white rag over my shouldeus. If I had had a tub then, it would have come natural to me to take in washing. I was, then conducted dewn stairs into the wet, slippery court, and the first thing that attracted my attention was my heels. My fall excited no comment. They expected it no doubt, It belonged in the list of softening, sensuous "Influences peculiar to this home of Eastern luxury. It was softening enough, certainly, but its application was not happy. They now gave me a pair of wooden clogs— benches in miniature, with leather straps over them to confine the feet (which they would have done, only I do not wear No, 13s). These things dangkrd-^ uncomfortably by the straps when I lifted up my feet, and came down in awkward and unexpected places when I put them on the floor again, and sometimes turned sideways and wrenched my ankles out of joint. However, it was all Orienntal luxury, and I did what I could to enjoy it. ' They put me in another part of the barn and laid me on a stuffy sort of pallet, which was not made of cloth of gold, or Persian shawls, but was merely the unpretending sort of thing I have seen in the negro quarters of Arkansas. There was nothing whatever in this dim marble prison but five more of these biers. It was a very solemn place. I expected that the spiced odors of Araba were going to steal over my senses now, but they didn't. A copper colored skeleton, with a "Skg around him, bronght me a glass decanter of water, with a lighted tobacco pipe in the top of it, and a pliant stem a yard long, with a brass mouth-piece to it. It was the famous " narghili" of the East—the thing the Grand Turk smokes in the pictures. This began to loox lixe luxury. I toox one blast at it, and it was sufficient. The smoKe all went down my throat. It came bacx in con- vulsive snorts through my nose. It had a vile taste, and the taste of A thousand infidel tongues that remained on the brass mouth-piece was viler still. I was getting discouraged. Whenever! seethe cross-legged Grand Turx smoKing his narghili, in pretended bliss, on the outside of a paper of Connecticut tobacco, I shall Know him for the shameless hutribeg he is. The prison was filled with hot air. When I had got warmed up sufficiently to prepare me for a still warmer temperature, they toox me where it was—into a marble room, wet, slippery and steamy, and laid me out on a raised platform in the centre. It was very warm. Presently my man sat me down by atanx of hot water, drenched me well, gloved his hand with a coarse mitten, and began to polish me all over with it. I began to smell disagreeably. The.more he polished the worse I smelt, It was alarming. I said' to him : " I perceive that I am pretty far gone. It is plain that I ought to be buried without any unnecessary delay. Perhaps you had better go after my friends at once, because the weather is warm, and I cannot 'Keep' long." He went on scrubbing, and paid no attention. I soon saw that he was reducing my size. He bore hard on his mitten, and from under it rolled little cylinders line maccaroni. It could not be dirt, for it was too white. He pared me down in this way for a long time. Finally I said, " It Is a tedious process- it will taxe hours to trim me to.the size you want me. I will wait—go and borrow a jacx-plane." He paid no attention at all. . After a while he brought a basin, some soap, and something that seemed to be the tail of a horse. He made up a prodigious quantity of soap suds, deluged me with them from head to foot without warning me to shut my eyes, and then swabbed me viciously with the horse-tail. Then be left me there, a statue of snowy lather, and. went away. When I got tired of waiting, I went and hunted him up. He was propped against the wall, in another room, asleep. I woke him. He was not disconcerted. He took me back and flooded me with exhausting hot water, then turbaned my head, swathed me with dry table-cloths, and conducted me to a latticed chicken -coop in one of -the galeries, and pointed to one of those Arkansas beds. I mounted.it, and vaguely expected the odors of Ara- by again. They did not come. The blank, unornamented coop had nothing about it of that oriental voluptuousness one reads of so much. It was more suggestive of the country hospi tal than anything else. The skinny servitor brought a narghili, and I got him to take it out again without wasting any time about it. Then he broughtthe world renewed Turkish coffee that poets have sung so rapturously for many generations, and I seized upon i t as the last hope that was left of iay old dreams of Eastern luxury. It was another swindle. Of all the unchristian beverages that ever past my lips, Turkish coffee is the worst. The cup is small, it is smeared with grounds • the coffee is black, thick, unsavory of smell, and execrable in taste. 8 T&e bottom of the cup has a muddy sediment in it half an inch deep.— ■This goes down your throat, and portions of it lodge by the way, and produce a tickling.aggravation that keeps you barking and coughing for an hour. Here endeth my experience of the celebrated Turkish, bath, and here also endeth my.dream of the bliss the mortal revels in who passes through it. It is a maligant,swindle. The man who enjoys it is qualified to enjoy anything •that is repulsive to sight or sense, and he that can invest it with the charm of poetry is able to do the same with anything else in the world that is tedious, and wretched, and dismal, and nasty. THE LOST POCKET-BOOK. Why is a minister like a locomotive' We have to look out for him when the bell rings. It was a cheerless afternoon. A biting, freezing wind drove the slowly drifting snow before it like a blinding mist; and the clouds hung so low as almost to touch the black roofs of the houses. " How desolate it is," Mrs. Halpine sighed, glancing out from her attic 'Window on the gloomy prospect below, as she smoothed and folded the garment she had just completed; "and the [cold's bitter. I don't like to send out Louisa, but there's not a lump of coal, or a dust of flour, and Willie must have that medicine. I'd go myself but—" " 0, mother, no I let me go—I don't mind if it is cold. I'll hurry back ;" and the little girl sprang up from her low seat beside the infant's cradle, and began to fasten on her faded cloak and hood. "Well, I suppose you must," the mother continued as she wrapped up the delicately embroidered garment. "You know the place ? Mr. Rawdon's, on tenth street—that brown-stone." " Yes, yes, mother I I know." " Well, dear, run fast, and keep yourself warm, and say to Mrs. Rawson that I'd have finished the work before, if Willie hadn't been so sick. Three dollars she owes me. You can call by the baker's and get a loaf or two. The child took the bundle and vanished out of sight down the dreary flight" of steps; while the mother turned hack, to the cradle, where the siak child lay.. He held out his little hand and moaned piteously. " Give me some tea, mama, I'm so dry." " Yes, darling, just as soon as Louise comes." * Her eyes filled with tears as she raised the little fellow to her bosom, clasping him closely to Keep him warm, for there was no fire in the stove, and the' desolate, attic room was very comfortless. Yet there had been a day when this same palefaced, meek eyed woman, satin a- luxurious chamber, with every comfort that heart could wish within her reach; and a doting husband's strong arm of love to encircle and protect her. But her husband was dead, lying unknown on some distant battlefield, and her riches had made themselves wings and flown away. Forlorn and friendless, sick at heart, and weary from incessant toil, she sat with her wailing babe upon her bosom, gazing out with hopeless eyes, upon the dismal scene beneath her attic window. - In the meanwhile, little Louise made her way through narrow bystreets, and squalid alleys into the most populous and' fashionable part of the city. The biting wind still continued to blow with a dreary, saddening wail, drifting the low leaden clouds, and the mist- like pnow. But she walked on bravely, anxl reached at last, Mrs. Rawdon's. A dazzling glow of light poured from the lofty windows, and sounds of music and merry-making floated out upon the frosty air. Mrs. Rawson was giving a grand party in honor of her eldest daughter's birth night. Louise crept up the marble steps, and pulled the bell. A footman in livery answered her timid summons. '■' Can I see Mrs. Bawdon, please, sir?" she asked. "See Mrs. Eawdon, indeed! and she in tne parlor in the very middle of the company ? Of cburse, you can't. He was closing the door, but Louise caught at his sleeve, and cried imploringly. " 0, sir, please- wait I Here's the work she wanted; Miss Violets frock, you know.. Mother promised it by to-night; do let me take it up to her." The matt hesitated a moment, and then turned back. '•Miss Violet's frock," he said ; "she wanted it, I know. I heard her fussing because it didn't come home. May be she'll see you.. I'll try anyhow. Come in here and wait." Louise followed him through the arched hall,' and past the glittering parlors, into a kind of ante-room adjoining the supper apartment." Here motioning her to a seat, he went in search of his mistress. But it was a full half hour before Mrs. Rawdon could disengage herself from her guests; and poor, little Louise, tired out with waiting, and benumbed with cold, was just on the point of bursting into tears, when the lady stepped into the room. - ■ " This is pretty- business, now isn't it 1" she began, as she received and unfolded the bundle that Louise proffered her. " I thought you promised to bring this yesterday ?" " Yes, ma'am ; but little Willie was so sick that mother couldn't sew."- "0, yes] that's always, the way— you've some excuse ready ; but I shan't trust you again, you may depend on it. Here Violet's been crying for an hour, and refused to come down because she was so disappointed about her dress. John, ring the bell for Jane to take it up to her. I must go back to the parlor now."- She was sweeping out again, her satin robes rustling after her; but Louise sprang up with a piteous cry. "O, ma'am! ; little brother's so ill, and must have his medicine ; please let me have the money!" " I can't to-night—I'm entirely out of change. You can call day after tomorrow.". But Louise was' not to be repulsed. She eaught the lady's had in both her little, frozen palms. One of the rings that adorned Mrs. Rawdon's soft fingers would have procured all the comforts her mother and little Willie needed. Some such thought flashed through the child's mind as she made this appeal. " O, madam ?" she said, her blue eyes full of imploring .entreaty, " you are rich and happy, and have all you want; but my little brother will die without medicine I I)o let me have the money," Mrs. Rawdon shooK her off impatiently. " I tell you I've no change. You must oall again. John, show her to the dpor I" The footman obeyed, and Louise soon found herself upon the marble steps, while the lofty door closed in her very face with a heartless slam. The wind howled more dismally than ever, and the keen, stinging sleet fell like a shower of shot. Louise descended the steps, and crossed over to the opposite sidewalk with a dull, aching pain at her heart, that almost took away her breath. How could she go back to her desolate home, and tell her poor 'mother that she had failed to collect her hard ..earned wages ; tell her that they were not able to buy even so much as a solitary loaf? Was it'right that others should have so much, while they lacked daily bread ? Just then something beneath her foot, soft and slippery,'almost threw her. to the pavement. Looking down, she saw a pocketbook. She caught it-up with a suppressed cryt and, thrusting it into her bosom, darted off atthe speed of an antelope. At last, out of breath and half beside herself -with excitement, she paused beneath a lamp post, and after glancing stealthily around her, drew the treasure from her bosom. It was large, thick, and heavy. Her fingers fluttered-nervously as she unclasped it; and when she caught sight of the green notes it contained, she uttered a cry of delight, and darted off again like something insane. Mother and Willie should have all they needed now. Just beyond the baker's shop, toward which she bent her steps a soldier met her. " Little girl," he said, arresting her flying steps, " you didn't fin da pocket- book as you came along did you?" Louise paused a single-instant, her heart fluttering like a frightened bird ; then, as a thought of her mother and Willie flashed through her mind, she answered. "No, sir 1" " Well, its gone, I suppose," and the soldier passed on; while Louise hurried ried away in the opposite direction. By the time she reached the baker's she was in a tremor from head to foot, and her cheeks seemed on fire; but she drew the pocketbook from its hiding-place, and standing outside the door, unclasped it, and took out a note. The shop was crowded with customers, .and she had to wait for her turn before she oould obtain what she wanted. Her"eyes wandered wistfully round the tempting shelves. She would buy so many loaves ; and even that frosted cake. They would have coal and flour. Why not ? The pocketbook was hers, she had found it. Still her hands trembled, and her cheeks burned. She glanced down at the note she held, and saw, with a start of horror, that it was for fifty dollars. What had she done 1 Robbed a man of his money—and he a soldier. Her father had been a soldier. With a sharp cry, clutching the pocket- _ book in one hand, and the fifty dollar bill ih the other, she darted from the shop, and down the snowy street. Just a square or two beyond the glittering mansion of ,Mrs. Rawdon she overtook the soldier. He was walking slowly- glancing from one side of the pavement.' to the other'with an anxious, despairing look on his face. Louise was at his side in an instant. " 0, sir I" panting for breath, her hood thrown back, her blue eyes wild and startled, and bright hair blown all about her flushed face. " I did find your pocket-book—here it is. I took this note out, but I couldn't spend it. Mother's almost starved, and little Willie will die without his medicine, but I can't steal I can't—I can't; take it back !" The soldier took the money from the half-frozen little hands that held it up to him; then lifting the child in his arms he smoothed back her tangled locks and look«d down into her pale, tear-stained little face with eager, startled eyes. Hiaswarthy cheek grew pale and his bearded -lips - began to tremble. " Louise ! Louise !" he said, his voice full of thrilling tenderness, " poor little darling, don't you know me" ?" The child looked up and then her cry of wild delight rang out clear and joyous. " 0, papa, papa! we thought you were dead I hut you've come back to us agakr'-!."- " Yes, darling!" his broad chest heaving with suppressed eagerness. "Where's your mother? Take me to her?" Louise sprang from his arms, and shot-off liket an arrow down the brilliant street through . the squalid alley* and darx by-lanes; arid the soldier followed her. Mrs. Halpine sat in her comfortless attic, hushing her sick child upon h,er bosom, " Mama, mama ! I'm so hungry! please give me some tea, the little' fellow moaned," clasping his hot arms about her neck. " Wait a moment, darling,just a moment longer." And the patient little one waited, and the cold, gray shadows settled down darker and darker; and the poor mother clasped the ohild closely to her bosom, dreaming of happy days gone by, and of the dear husband who had gone to his last, long home, with no tender hand to close his eyes. The shadows grew heavier and darker, the winds moaned dismally; the 'Concluded on Fourth Page.)

If you don't know about Sani Alibabic, you should. Guy's been snowboarding for a long time. While many of you were still picking your nose in elementary school he was helping shape the Austrian snowboard scene by bringing a raw and smooth skate style to snow. After diverting a few years to bang out the film In Short, Sani is back working with Pirate Productions and lapping the shred dream. Here's a little of what he's up to now.
Did you feel like the captain of the pirates this winter?
Well, I really just helped out since I knew a lot about traveling and whatever comes up with filming, especially with riders who haven't done this very much. I've been snowboarding for like seventeen years and filming for like eight or so, but when I was younger it was always good to have somebody around to help. When I first started traveling it was Gigi [Ruf] and I, and Blotto helped us a lot, so I just try to do the same thing for those guys.
Do you think you'll do another project with David [Benedek], Boris [Benedek], or Christoph [Weber] again?
Well, I don't know, I'd like to. I definitely enjoyed the two years filming with them and we've been friends forever. We started together. The scene in Europe is pretty tight, everybody knows everybody. David, Christoph, Boris, Gigi, and I were kind of hanging out when we all started so it's always fun to hang out with those guys, and if they do a movie again I'd for sure be up to it.
Yeah if you went back to the old days, that'd be a sick crew.
Yeah it would be fun. David is trying to write a book so I'm not sure right now. He's a really creative guy in everyway. He even won a package design award for In Short. It's cool because it's has nothing to do with snowboarding.
You spent some time in Alaska in an RV, how was that?
It can be pretty hard to be stuck up there in the RV with four other guys. The first year we were all up there in one RV for three and a half weeks. Lots of vodka and wine and a lot of microwave food. You get kind of used to it. It's so remote and peaceful. You get used to the outside toilet too, I felt weird going to a real one.
What's something that drives you and you like doing outside of snowboarding?
I like skateboarding a lot. I started surfing a couple years ago and I'm really into that—not good at it but, really into it. I just like being in nature and everything that has to do with nature surfing is pretty cool because of that. I grew up in Austria so there's no seaside close by so when I started I was scared of water and waves…I'm still scared, but I just wanted to do it so bad. I just fought the fear.
Where did you start surfing?
The south of France in Hossegor, Biarritz—and in Spain too, San Sebastian and Bilbao. I was outside of Bilbao this summer at Sopelana and hanging with Iker Fernandez in San Sebastian.
Do you plan on filming with Pirates next year?
Yeah. I liked it this year and I have filmed with them before for the first project called Decent Frames on 8mm. I had this three-year break where I filmed with David for In Short and then during those years they switched to 16mm. It was cool to see the transformation and improvements with everything and the progress they've made. They're really professional now. I think they're more professional than a lot of crews now. I think it's a cool thing and I think I'm gonna stay with them as long as I can.
It looks like you have a good crew going. Have you checked out Per-Hampus' movie Pony Tale?
I've seen parts of it so far. I was really stoked. I heard that they're doing the premieres with Travis' movie in some spots. It's funny that those two movies are having premieres together because they're kind of on opposite spectrums. There's one movie that doesn't have a lot of budget but it's still really fun to watch, and then you have the Travis movie that's very dramatic with all those heli shots.
What did you think of Travis' movie?
It's for sure good footy and Travis is for sure the best snowboarder right now. But I thought there was too much drama. Maybe fifteen minutes shorter? I don't know how much time you can show mountain goats jumping around.
Yeah all the riding was sick no doubt, the music and drama was a little much. Have you ever gone riding with Travis?
No, just a few contests but he's so good at riding, all the freeriding as well.
Where did you grow up riding in Austria?
Just some close hills by Innsbruck. When I started we were not allowed to go on the lift so we just hiked the mountain. It was pretty weird for Austria because it's pretty open for winter sports. That was only the first year though, and then it opened for snowboarders everywhere.I kind of hated it at first. I just did it because I was skating before and all my skater friends were into snowboarding because we didn't have any indoor parks or anything to skate. I wasn't really too into winter sports before and it was the cool thing to do so I had to do it. It took me a while to get the hang of it.
Where did you spend this summer?
I went snowboarding in New Zealand and Australia for the first time this summer. I don't know, I wasn't too stoked on it though. New Zealand was cool, but it was just too long. We were there for four weeks.
The season in Europe was super good and pretty long so it was hard to beat. I went to Whistler for the first week of camp and then when I came back to Europe the soccer championships were going on and there was bad weather, not really summer, not warm. On the way to New Zealand though I went to Bali for twelve days to surf. By the time I got the paddling power back it was time to leave. It was fun, but I was pretty bummed to leave.
What kind of riding did you get into down there?
We did everything there. The park riding, the free riding. The waves were sick in New Zealand though. I wish I had my surfboard. Nicolas [Müller] was with us and he hurt his foot skating so he went to Fiji, it's only a couple hour flight from New Zealand and pretty cheap, so he just went there and kicked it. I think he went surfing too. We went to Sydney, Australia later, it was a really cool city and the surf was good.
Any heli stuff?
No, but we did a lot of hiking and backcountry around all those club fields. It was sick and deep pow for sure, but it was pretty sketchy with those nutcracker lifts.
What are those things all about?
There's a rope that goes around like a surface lift and you have to wear this harness with a metal thing that looks like a nutcracker. You have to ride to the rope and catch it with some momentum and put that thing around the rope while holding on super hard. With the deep snow it was pretty tough. Pretty fun, but a wild experience.

PET scans with PiB show beta-amyloid in brains of cognitively normal older adults
Two recent NIA-funded studies used novel imaging techniques to explore the possible connection between the buildup of beta-amyloid protein deposits in the brains in living people and the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease (AD). Abnormal deposits of amyloid in the brain are hallmarks of Alzheimer's and, until recently, could only be confirmed at autopsy. But as shown in these two studies, researchers are using techniques involving PET (positron emission tomography) scans and tracers to image amyloid deposits in people who are symptom free.
One study found large numbers of beta-amyloid protein deposits in the brains of cognitively normal older adults, suggesting that the deposits alone may not be enough to disrupt cognitive function. The other study showed that known genetic markers for the disease did indeed correlate with greater deposits of amyloid, suggesting that the PET method might eventually result in better and earlier detection of the disease.
In the first study, reported in the Archives of Neurology, researchers used PET with the tracer element Pittsburgh Compound B (PiB) to image the brains of 43 adults, 65 to 88 years old, who did not have clinical AD or mild cognitive impairment, a condition that often precedes AD. They found that the 9 participants with beta-amyloid deposits in at least one brain area performed as well on cognitive tests as the 29 amyloid-negative participants and the 5 participants with "intermediate" evidence of amyloid deposits.
The finding that an older person with "significant amyloid burden" can be cognitively normal suggests a high level of cognitive reserve or that beta-amyloid deposition alone does not lead to AD, write the authors, led by Dr. William E. Klunk of the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. Alternatively, some of these individuals may go on to develop AD—in which case PET may be useful in finding signs of AD before clinical symptoms appear. The findings with PiB mirror those previously found in clinicopathological studies, where a proportion of clinically normal people were found to have significant amyloid deposits in their brains after death.
In the second study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers, led by Dr. Eric Reiman of the Banner Alzheimer's Institute in Phoenix, conducted PET scans using PiB in 28 cognitively normal older people and correlated the results with the presence of the apolipoprotein E (APOE) ε4 allele, a known risk factor for AD.
The researchers found progressively higher levels of beta-amyloid deposits in carriers with one and two copies of the APOE ε4 than in the noncarriers. They concluded that their findings "support the possibility of using fibrillar beta-amyloid imaging, along with other biomarkers of beta-amyloid, tau, and neuronal pathology and other risk factors, in the preclinical detection and tracking of AD and the evaluation of promising prevention therapies." Previous autopsy studies have shown that ApoE ε4 carriers have higher levels of amyloid pathology in their brains at death.

Step 1: Sand the damaged area
Fill a dent or hole in a steel door the same way a body shop would fix your car. You can do this with the door in place, but it will be easier with the door lying flat on sawhorses. Remove an area of paint a couple of inches larger than the damaged spot (Photo 1). Sand away the paint with 60- or 80-grit paper, or do the job faster with a small wire wheel in a drill.
Tip: If the damage is near the bottom of the door, you can skip the repair and cover it with a metal kick plate (find at home centers and hardware stores). Kick plates are about 8 in. wide and come in lengths to match standard doors.
Step 2: Apply the filler
Next, fill the wound with auto body filler (find at hardware stores and home centers). To mix the filler, place a scoop of resin on a scrap of plywood or hardboard. Then add the hardener. Mix the two components thoroughly; unmixed resin won't harden and you'll be left with a sticky mess. A plastic putty knife makes a good mixing tool.
Apply the filler with a metal putty knife that's wider than the damaged spot (Photo 2). The filler will start to harden in just a couple of minutes, so you have to work fast. Fill the repair flush with the surrounding surface. Don't overfill it and don't try to smooth out imperfections after the filler begins to harden. Adding another coat of filler is easier than sanding off humps.
Step 3: Smooth and paint
When the filler has hardened completely (about 30 minutes), sand it smooth (Photo 3). After priming the repair, you could paint over the primer only. But the new paint won't perfectly match the older paint, so it's best to repaint the entire door.

Often, the visual arts, archaeology, and art history get a bad rap. Word on the street may suggest that these majors aren't exactly practical major choices. Nevertheless, a major/career in these fields can lead you on many rewarding career paths. Alumni who majored in art and archaeology at Princeton reported a variety of different career plans, from positions as literary agents and research associates, to jobs as lawyers, teachers, analysts, or professors. That being said, you don't have to look very far outside your major to find job opportunities.
First, here are some resources for jobs in the arts:
Check out this site for a quick synopsis on many various careers available to art history majors: http://www3.nd.edu/~crosenbe/jobs.html. You may find something interesting and unexpected.
Also, here's a wealth of information on art and architecture resources: http://www.ilpi.com/artsource/welcome.html.
Northern Michigan has a long list of job databases by arts industry, from design to film: http://art.nmu.edu/department/AD_Career/AD_Career-Jobs.html#AGENCIES.
Artjobs.org is an independent jobs database. The site currently features 880 postings for positions in all kinds of arts and creative nonprofits https://artjob.org/. Watch out though—this site costs money if you want to look more closely than a casual browse.
Also, if you're interested in arts and business in New York, check out http://www.artsandbusiness-ny.org/about_us/ for information, tutorials, and several internship listings for positions within the organization.
While your possibilities for post-graduate careers are nearly boundless, there's nonetheless a vibrant, international network of jobs for which your art/art history major uniquely qualifies you—museum jobs. Boy, are there a lot of these.
- http://www.globalmuseum.org/ has separate sections for fellowships in museums jobs as well as museum jobs outside the U.S.
- http://www.museum-employment.com/page5/rwjobindex.html is a museum database organized by type of position.
- Want to search museum jobs by state, country, or topic in art? Go here: http://www.museumstuff.com/.
- Check the classifieds for employment and residency/fellowship opportunities: http://www.nyfa.org/level2.asp?id=54&fid=1&sid=95. (This resource is also great for finding auditions for performing artists, art events, and studio space.)
- Ever wanted to work for the Smithsonian? http://www.sihr.si.edu/jobs.cfm

- What about living history and agricultural museums? Plenty of jobs there, too. http://www.alhfam.org/?cat_id=216&nav_tree=216.
Of course, this list is not to limit your search. Many a Princeton grad has taken his/her own path with an art/art history degree. Visit the Alumni Career Network to speak with alumni who can tell you more about their personal career journeys. This way, you can learn from the painters, artists, producers, curators, editors, and executives who were once where you are today.

Hello everyone,
I had some trouble recently trying to update the VirtualBox Guest Additions from v4.1.4 to v4.1.6 for my Backtrack 5 virtual machine after upgrading the kernel from 2.6.38 to 22.214.171.124. The VirtualBox guest additions compile modules against the kernel source tree which needs to be the same kernel source version of the running kernel. Without the kernel source and headers, the compile fails and the guest drivers do not work properly. I figured out how to fix it and wrote up this silly script to update the guest additions for me.
Common symptoms of faulty guest additions:
- mouse is stuck in the VM winodw and does not auto release when attempting to move outside of the VM
- bidirectional clipboard does not work
- 'dmesg | grep vbox' shows vboxguest loading errors, like this:
-bungfishCode:vboxguest: version magic '2.6.38 SMP mod_unload ELAN ' should be '18.104.22.168 SMP mod_unload ELAN ' vboxguest: version magic '2.6.38 SMP mod_unload ELAN ' should be '126.96.36.199 SMP mod_unload ELAN '
Omaha 2600
P.S. I've also used this script to successfully update from v4.1.4 to v4.1.8 (thanks to the magic of VMs!) Hope this helps! Enjoy!
P.P.S. I see that a post by smilerclan listed a better symlink solution so I updated the script. My solution left this error unresolved:
This new version of the script now takes care of these errors. Thanks, smilerclan!Code:Building the VirtualBox Guest Additions kernel modules The headers for the current running kernel were not found. If the following module compilation fails then this could be the reason.
Code:#!/bin/bash # Upgrade VirtualBox Guest Additions on Backtrack # firstname.lastname@example.com # last updated on 2012-02-07 # Load the VBoxGuestAdditions.iso file into the CD-ROM drive before running this script as root: # Devices > CD/DVD Devices > VBoxGuestAdditions.iso # or by selecting "Install Guest Additions..." from the "Devices" menu. # # Get the kernel version and assign it to a variable: VERSION=`uname -r` # Attempt to mount the VirtualBox Guest Additions ISO: echo '*** Attempting to mount the VirtualBox Guest Additions ISO...

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- U.S. adults nearing retirement are increasingly nervous about their ability to live comfortably in retirement, but that doesn't mean they're going to take big risks with their money to pad their bank accounts. According to the Employee Benefit Research Institute, just 13% of U.S workers and 18% of actual retirees are "very confident" they'll have enough cash to retire in relative comfort. Another 49% of adult Americans say they are not confident.
"Not only do workers lack confidence about their ability to secure a financially secure retirement overall, but more and more they lack confidence in their ability to pay for medical expenses and even basic expenses such as food, clothing and shelter," says Jack VanDerhi, research director at EBRI. Americans seem so down on their retirement prospects that they're afraid to risk money in the stock market. Allianz Life Insurance research shows U.S. adults between ages 55 and 65 want their money "protected" as they near retirement and avoid the stock market to keep the money they have accumulated safe and sound. Fifty years ago, this wouldn't have been big news. But Americans are increasingly living to 90 -- or even 100. With most retiring at 65 or 70, that leaves several decades to account for from a retirement savings point of view. That makes avoiding stocks not the smartest move. Look at it this way. Last year stocks returned 15.93% on investments, compared with the 2.97% coming to investors in 10-year U.S. Treasury Notes. Since 1928, a $100 investment in stocks would have returned $193,219, compared with $6,926 for 10-year bonds. But Allianz says Americans nearing retirement prefer safer, more guaranteed investments. In its Transition Boomers and Retirement Income Survey, Allianz says that "resoundingly," Americans prefer an investment with guaranteed returns rather than to risk their money in the stock market. The study says that 87% of baby boomers surveyed said they prefer an investment vehicle with a 4% guaranteed return over an investment vehicle with an 8% return that could lose value if the stock market declines. That's no easy task, Allianz states.
"Our survey was taken when record stock market performance was generating daily headlines, showing that, regardless of how hot the markets are, Transition Boomers still crave protection for their retirement savings," says Walter White, president and CEO of Allianz Life. "There are financial products that can deliver these benefits, but the industry needs to do more to educate these Transition Boomers about them." Baby boomers may not be viewing the issue clearly. In the study, the most common financial objective for boomers was increasing their savings rate. Yet by favoring guaranteed investments such as bonds and annuities (which Allianz sells in big numbers) and bypassing stocks, Americans are virtually guaranteed to come up short on their retirement savings objectives. If history is any indication, that attitude is going to have to change if boomers want to retire comfortably. That's no knock against bonds or annuities, but there has to be room in a retiree's portfolio for high-rising stocks as well.

Billy Ray Cyrus: 'I Don't Know if Miley and Liam Hemsworth will get married'
Listen to Billy Ray Cyrus on iHeartRadio | Listen to Miley Cyrus on iHeartRadio
(Yahoo!) - Will they, or won't they?! It's the age-old … OK, 2-month-old question, but even Miley Cyrus' father, Billy Ray Cyrus, isn't sure if his daughter will actually walk down the aisle with fiancé Liam Hemsworth.
While promoting his new memoir "Hillbilly Heart" on "Nightline," the elder Cyrus was asked about his 20-year-old daughter's pending nuptials. "I know as I was writing the book, I wanted to keep that particular moment as open ended as possible," shared the musician. "I didn't know the answer. You know they're young. They're kids. The great news is they're great friends. They're really, really good friends. If you end up getting married, that's your business too."
So, does he think they will ever get hitched?
"I don't know," Billy Ray replied. "I play it by ear and whatever's meant to be, that's the way it's going to happen."
Cyrus and Hemsworth, 23, were having serious relationship troubles at the end of February. The "Party in the U.S.A." singer was repeatedly photographed without her engagement ring, and Hemsworth spent about a month in Australia as they sorted through their issues.
However, the couple reconciled upon Liam's return to the States at the end of March and wedding planning resumed.
Maybe Cyrus' upcoming album will drop hints as to what the future holds for "The Last Song" lovebirds?

A group of people in Loudon County, Virginia has begun a recall drive to get Eugene Delgaudio, the absolutely deranged anti-gay nut, out of his position as one of the county's supervisors. The group is holding a meeting at a local library to plan their petition drive.
A newly formed group motivated by the goal of ousting Sterling Supervisor Eugene Delgaudio (R-Sterling) has formed and has scheduled a town hall meeting at 3 p.m. Feb. 16 at the Sterling Library.
"It is imperative that the people of Sterling take every measure available by law to prevent Eugene Delgaudio from continuing to expose the county to additional legal liability, to misuse county resources, and to deny the people of Sterling the representation that they deserve," a press release from Sterling Deserves Better reads. "This town hall will explain and begin the petition to recall the Sterling supervisor who does not represent the priorities of Sterling residents."
Delgaudio is reportedly the target of a grand jury investigation into whether he violated the law by using county resources to fund his political campaigns. Can't wait to see the next fundraising email from Delgaudio, which will surely demand that he be sent money to fight off the attacks of Satan himself.

SCABSSK1: John "Arizona Bushman" Campbell "Signature" Saguaro Knife
Scorpion Knives
John Campbell is a desert survival instructor from Arizona. He has been into wilderness survival since the age of 8. He grew up in Oklahoma in a small town called Holsum Valley and during heavy rains and ice storms he and his family would be trapped for weeks at a time. Hunting, fishing, trapping, and gardening became a way of life and they would even raise their own food animals for sustainment during these hard times.
After graduating from high school in 1995 and spending some years undertaking survival skills in hostile environments, John moved to Arizona where he has been practicing desert survival skills and Primitive skills ever since, actively teaching survival since 2004.
A lot of time has gone into the design of the Saguaro Survival Knife. John worked on the design for several years as he wanted a knife that would tackle just about any job that could be thrown at it. Being a survival instructor and growing up in a wilderness he knew what kinds of tasks would be demanded of a blade.
Weight and balance play a major role in any knife design - too light and heavy tasks become extremely daunting, throw in bad balance and chopping as well as fine work are nearly impossible.
Incorporating these things into the Saguaro Survival Knife makes chopping, splitting, and shaving an absolute breeze. Add balance with the full tang design, and fine work like making fireboards, traps, and other tools is extremely easy as well. The generous choil and thumb bump give amazing control to the blade. The hole in the thumb bump gives an extra lanyard hole to make a secure grip while using the knife as a chopper. The exposed tang in the pummel makes a good glass breaker for emergency exits from automobiles or can even be used as an egress knife to exit downed aircraft.
The 1075 High Carbon Steel blade comes either polished or in black Fluoralon coating. The polished blade works very well in dryer climates or those without salt air. The black Fluoralon coating makes the blade perfect for places that have salt air or may come in contact with salt water. It also prevents glare while in use with military personnel.
The Linen Micarta handle (polished with the polished blade) finishes off the knife making it more resistant to environmental factors. The knife is supplied with a high quality Cordura sheath.
The Saguaro is also designed with military personnel in mind. This blade can double as a combat knife. The additional grind on the spine of the blade makes it an optimal blade for combat situations and the reinforced point makes it ideal for penetrating body armor on an enemy soldier. This blade is not a weapon though, it is a tool to save a life and it is built to handle any task that can be thrown at it. It is designed to handle life and death situations and help you make it home alive.
- Blade Length: 7.25" (18.4 cm)
- Blade Material: 1075 High Carbon Steel, Mirror Polish
- Blade Thickness: 3/16" (5 mm)
- Overall Length: 12.5" (31.8 cm)
- Handle Material: Polished Black Micarta
- Sheath Material: Cordura
- Weight: 15.3 ounces (434 g)
- Hand made in Sheffield, England
UPC Code: 016336
Micarta is a compressed layered composite sealed within a thermosetting plastic which creates a strong, attractive material that is impervious to water.

OXM UK: "EA has laid off a number of developers in the Montreal and Los Angeles areas, as part of what EA labels president Frank Gibeau terms the "complex and challenging experience" of transiting console generations. Naturally, he's tremendously upbeat about the publisher's prospects as a whole, touting the virtues of Battlefield 4 in particular."
Hope its not limited to the power of the 360 and PS3, and taken full advantage being exclusive of PS4 and next xbox. (only if the next xbox is not weak)
I got skills son.
Why/how are you so fast to first posts?
... aka 'Battlefield of Duty'.
Don't get me wrong, in those maps where Battlefield 3 gave you a large area to play in, it was awesome. Sadly, there were far to few true Battlefield Conquest levels, and too many lineair/small maps where almost every match played the same way.
I hope the franchise can return to it's roots of greatness (Battlefield 2, 1942/43).
60fps, commander position, 6 man squad, more destructable environnement, battle recorder....AND 64 players! I know it's a lot, but add this to BF4 and the game will be just as great as BF2 was back in the days.
@knifefight: Androids don't have power levels
Check and mate
@ZeroX9876 Make EVERY piece of the environment destructible, you would think with the next gen consoles that this should be able to be done. buildings should all be collapsible in some way.
Bodies from players in ALL FPS games should remain where they were killed, same with vehicles. I was playing CoD 2 online on my Xbox 360 this afternoon (ahhh CoD nostalgia)..and all of the bodies remain where you killed players or where you died. This is the type of detail that should be in games these days, Especially for the next gen.
There's a section called "pending"...
Cant edit my comment as far as I know so, when I said kill players I hope everyone understood that was in Multiplayer haha. I have no idea if bodies stay in single player because in CoD 2 the waves of soldiers keep coming if you don't advance.
I feel sorry for the PS3 guys missing out on CoD 2..it was such a good game. I miss WWII games :'(
I want to see the console versions hold 64 players, I don't care if that means it has to look the same as BF3.
Yes they do.
@ZeroX9876 All of that is on the PC version of the game
As others have said:
DaThreats trolls the submissions that are pending. It's the only way to make sure that you are the first poster on potentially big topics.
I'm not a PC elitist or anything so don't take this the wrong way but you have inadvertly summed up the fears and frustrations of PC gamers in recent years. Just like how you don't want current gen consoles to hold back next gen iterations of this game, PC games have suffered tremendously as a result of developers having to cater for consoles.
Making the PC the lead platform can only ensure that you go so far in pushing the bar on PC.
On topic, I don't want this to be on current gen consoles. I think it will hold the game back technically because it'll show that the game isn't being developed from the ground up for next gen tech.
I'm happy for it to be current gen providing they lead on the new platforms.
Even if you did target PC as the lead. You STILL have to make it viable for the consoles to run, so it's a pretty useless effort since you're doing pretty much the same thing (See Witcher 2).
If you designed PC from the ground-up, you can guarantee it would NOT pass through consoles, at least not with some significant downgrades. By making the target so high it can only be playable at 480p with extremely low assets on the consoles would that a mean the PC-developed game retained it's design.
Maybe you PC crowd should start buying games when they're released and not wait for Steam sales. That could convince devs more than your rants on the Internet. You know, they would invest money in PC versions if they knew it'd come back in profit. The truth is YOU are holding back. People just want to earn a living, that's why they release games for POPULAR platforms.
This is EA we are talking about. If they can make more money by putting it on 360, Ps3,Ps4,PsV Wii U then they will do it. I would imagine it would be better on the next gens, but not as good as if it was soley for ps4, next xbox and pc.
but regardless i dont think there was a game this gen i enjoyed playing more then bf3. first on xbox, and then i even bought a ps3 slim just to play it with a friend.
Realistic hardware does not "hold back" anything. Developers have no cause to cater to just the top tier or even give them a lot of special attention.
I agree, I want this game to be exclusively on PS4 and Xbox 720 as well.
I don't wanna deal with bad or missing textures blurry presentation, leveled down map variants, content missing, compression's, constant cutbacks to make everything fit properly.
If EA was smart, they would NOT compete for COD sales and create BF4 ground up on next gen consoles. EA can start fresh and make an early name for themselves and great reception from fans.
Good news, BF4 won't be coming this year to compete with COD. So, all they have to do is keep BF4 on PS4, 720 and PC.
Again they'll garner the lead over COD for the "next gen shooter." We can make a pretty good guess that Acti will push last minute sales with MW4 on current gen systems. Last year proved they're sales couldn't get any better, instead sales declined.
Its a wait and see.
Should be intresting to see if the current trends continues next gen where:
Activision favors MS
EA favors Sony
Also am I the only one excited to see what next gen Call of Duty will bring to the table...I understand the hate for the game since Activion has milked COD for all its worth but you cannot deny that the COD games are fun.
You're not alone..I too am curious about what CoD brings out for next gen consoles, and I think lots of other hardcore gamers are excited too..(although you and I both know many won't admit it).
Obviously Call of Duty is a cash-cow, but If you're into FPS's, CoD games definitley are fun, and I think "fun" is the key feature that many "hardcore" gamers miss when they trash-talk certain games/franchises. Nowadays gamers are completely polarized.. If we aren't playing some obscure RPG or some "innovative" new indie game, but we are playing a popular well-selling franchise game, we're dubbed "casuals" by the elitist snobs.
@Funk, there's nothing "elite" about those snobs, they're just snobs.
I'm also interested where Activision is going to take COD, especially with the potential heavy hitter Destiny coming soon. Destiny may impact the COD franchise sales. If I had my way, I'd have a COD title one year and a Destiny the next. Phase out Modern Warfare and let Treyarch take full control of the franchise.
DO you know the definition of Insanity? It's COD...
Acti favors MS because they get a cut of Xbox Live subscriptions. Until that changes they'll always favor Microsoft's console.
In all honesty, if Dice done a new IP, it would better then another Battlefield.
I'd be good with either BF4 or Mirror's Edge 2.
Add Bad Company 3 to the list
But it's weaker that the ps4 as the wii u is weaker than theh next box. Question is if it will be visible.
lol dude, how do you know it will be weaker??? Do you work for MS therefore you already know what the system is packing??? Dont be fooled by all the rumors that have been going around about the new Xbox. Wait till MS officially unveils the ACTUAL final product before making assumptions.
It will be shown on ps4. Cod on 720.
Highly doubtful that the new xbox will be weak.
I remember the hype for the steaming pile that was BF3.
'The CoD killer'....'Revolution ary'....
Never again.
actually they will take full advantage of the PC version and then port it to console, PS4 is not that astonishing compare to todays PC, 8GB GDDR5 is not all a good PC needs you need a beast of GPU and a good CPU, the PS4 is ok on those parts, the 560 Ti is not a beast not even close.
Shock EA state the game is going to be amazing!!!! would they say any different?? not sure but I think they want a slice og the $billion industry that is COD!!
If they don't port it to 360/ps3 and also provide too the Wiiu then they will shoot themselves in the foot! as by next year they could be excluding 160 million customers on all 3 consoles! I don't don't think ps4/720 wii u and PC will have that many customers do you??
maybe between those 4 platforms taking in mind the prices they will launch maybe 20 million?
im sure cod will still sell to ps3 and xbox on mw4! Activision are not stupid it's going to be years yet before xboc 360 and ps3 die!
Can't wait to put 600+ hours into this one.
Please let it have 64+ players on all platforms!
Also, please don't shove crappy small maps into a game where they don't belong. Couldn't stand the close quarters maps...
Edit: and one more thing. BRING BACK COMMANDER MODE! Thats what made BF2 one of the best shooters on the PC.
I loved being able to call in artillery strikes, UAV's and supply drops. Its a shame it wasnt included in BF3, but maybe this time it'll make a comeback.
No girlfriend, real friends, kids?
600+ hours. Life can't be that exciting dude.
Video games probably give him all the fulfillment he needs. No need to hate.
battlefield bad company 2 i have over 1000 hours clocked. it happened during the time i was 20 to 22. i worked and played battlefield. went through many break ups
ive spent over 24 hours in the blackhawk:)
Only 600 hours? I spent more than that on Fallout 3, and climbing to that number in Skyrim (I spent 2000+ hours on FF11 back in the day).
Battlefield 3 wasn't bad, however at the time I had other games to play and never went back (I refuse to play/buy CoD), however with Battlefield 4 I'll try it out first.
Well, the guns that came with Close Quarters where pretty sweet.
If you don't like the small maps don't play them, I like that BF3 has a variety of map sizes to cater what I'm in the mood for. I like to play Metro and Grand Bazaar sometimes, keeps me from having to buy the inferior CoD.
Really looking forward to this, hoping for 64 player online. Only thing I didn't like about BF3 was the multiplayer graphics for 360/PS3 so that definitely shouldn't be an issue on new hardware.
As long as it has the same MP as PC I'm sold, love the battlefield games
I want 2143 :(
The main series BF games are meant to last long term. Releasing another one so soon just seems wrong. I'd have preferred they do 2143 or BC3 first, and then do BF4 later, exclusively on next gen consoles and PC so that they don't have to accommodate for older hardware. More possibilities that way.
Uh, I'm sorry if I don't take your word for that EA. You might be biased.
I think it will blow people away on next gen systems and pc and more player count but I know for a fact it will come out for current gen just a slimmed down version with less player but still ok but I will be deffo getting it for ps4 imagine 64 player plus wow
I would love for a company like EA to say something like "Yeah, it's ok I guess.." instead of astonishing.
All aboard the hype train! This got me thinking though, if BF3 on PC maxed with 4xMSAA @ 1080p runs just within 60 - 100FPS, how will BF4 run on the same rig? Uh oh, will probably need to upgrade or use lower graphical settings on PC titles with the advent of new consoles.
Even Crysis 3 at Very High with no AA at 1080p dips to the low 30's at times with an i7-3930k @ 4.3GHz, 16GB DDR3 @ 1866MHz and a single Radeon 7970GHz edition. To run Crysis 3 perfectly V-Synced at never less than 60fps and 4xMSAA, I need to switch to all low settings, but can keep Very high texture resolution.
It'll run similar to BF3 now, there's not much else they can improve with frostbite (graphics wise) that they haven't already done on PC.
EA will say anything to take your money.
And activision would milk you to get every penny out of you
Lets hope they ditch their ancient servers next gen, sick of being unable to finish matches on any EA title.
How about mod support for PC, and don't give a bullshit answer that it would be very difficult for people to mod the game. We all know the reason BF3 lacked mod tools was because you wanted to sell your premium service and dlc.
ive said it once and will say it again 720p 60fps 64 players on proper battlefield maps will suit me fine when bf4 for ps4 comes out
commander mode has already been confirmed ! and the xbox next specs r dam near identical to the ps4 so stop being gay and grow up both consoles will be great
The rumors, I repeat, rumors are showing the PS4 to be measurably more powerful than the next Xbox. It may not make any difference, but while similar, I wouldn't throw around terms like identical. I think a lot may depend on how much resources the xbox's operating system will use if its running windows 8 compared to sony's os.
I agree, the game will be great on both, regardless.
i am playing battlefield 3 since day 1. will battlefield 4 be on ps3 or not? all of the game companies with such games have made a lot o money but everybody won't be able to buy a new console...so what will happen to those who won't buy the new consoles?
I think that a lot of the games that are scheduled to release around the same time as the next gen consoles will be developed on one gen's hardware and ported to another to maximize sales for the franchise. We saw that happen with a number of games around the end of the ps2/xbox1 era.. games like Ghost Recon and Splinter Cell were developed for ps2/Xbox late in those consoles life cycles and ported to 360 with prettier textures when the console released in 2005.
Especially now with hardware and software becoming more expensive, game companies must be aware that not everyone can afford to be an early adopter of new console technology, and companies like EA aren't likely to let their sales take a hit just to have a big franchise launch a next-gen iteration alongside new consoles. I'm willing to bet we'll see a current-gen console version of BF4 that looks and feels similar to BF3 on current consoles, while BF4 will also release for ps4/nextbox with updates to Frostbite engine and obviously more advanced graphics and gameplay features

I'm trying to open a remote directory of images and loop through them in php... but I get this:
Warning: opendir(http://site.com/uploads/images/0-4999/341/) [function.opendir]: failed to open dir: not implemented in /path/to/file.php on line 175
I assumed it might be related to php.ini, and confirmed the setting:
allow_url_fopen = On
I also confirmed that opendir works locally.
The source files are just plain images that are accessible in the browser.
Any ideas on the problem?
Why not using FTP connect? Though i have not worked like that and even used, you can try with FTP connect functions in PHP.
no, because using ftp will slow the page down, and this is a file that is accessed thousands of time a day.
So wheeler, are you sure that it is possible to open the remote directory with opendir() function? Or you have worked with opendir() to open remote directory before? I heard but read anywhere yet it is not possible to open remote file/directory opendir() function.
I can't seem to get a clear answer either, i've been looking for over an hour but can't find anything much...
some people seem to say u have to use fopen() and regex to read the remote folder contents and filter them, because opendir() doesn't work remotely - while other sources say you can open remote folders...
When I give some tries i got the errors like this:1. $dir = "ftp://mysite.com/images/";
Warning: opendir(http://mysite.com/images/) [function.opendir]: failed to open dir: not implemented in C:\\xampp\\htdocs\ est\\ftp.php on line 3
Warning: opendir(ftp://devraju.com/images/) [function.opendir]: failed to open dir: FTP server reports 2'| in C:\\xampp\\htdocs\ est\\ftp.php on line 3
And somewhere in the internet i had found this line before
..... and as you seem to be aware, opendir() works on DIRECTORIES, not URLs. And opendir() only works in local directories of code running system not remove.
No opendir cannot because a remote server does not send a directory listing.
If the server sends an HTML directory listing then you can process that. Or better yet use FTP, and not FTP is not slow when it comes to files on remote systems FTP was designed for it.
opendir works only with FTP resources, no http. Your options are either to parse html directory listing with regexps or to use ftp.
Do you mean like this stereofrog?
$dir = "ftp://ftp.mysite.com/images";
if ($dh = opendir($dir)) {
while (($file = readdir($dh)) !== false) {
echo "filename: $file : filetype: " . filetype($dir . $file) . "\
But this gave me this error:
Warning: opendir(ftp://ftp.mysite.com/images) [function.opendir]: failed to open dir: FTP server reports 2'| in C:\\xampp\\htdocs\ est\\ftp.php on line 3
Honestly, I've never used opendir with ftp, and I don't see any need to, since ftp_nlist works just fine.
Ahh! I know with FTP functions we can do it that's why i had told wheeler to do this with FTP in my first reply post here.
thanks for responses, im still skeptical that ftp is a good idea... how could opening up dozens (if not tonnes) of simultaneous ftp connections 24/7 be a speed efficient process compared to http?
I have complete control of both servers, they are both dedicated and sitting side by side... the images are split from the main server for added speed.
I guess it does make sense that opendir() doesn't work the same remotely as it does locally....
a 3rd option would be to store all the file names in the database (half a million and counting) and simply hotlink them in. Of the three options, this is probably the best one as far as I can see. I suppose this also presents further benefits such as storing more file information, but also adds a new layer of complexity.

Bird flying high at plate for RiverDogs
No. 20 Yanks prospect drives in career-high five runs in loss
By Robert Emrich / Special to MLB.com | June 26, 2013 8:19 PM ET
Greg Bird has been scorching the ball for the past three weeks. He put an exclamation point on that streak on Wednesday.
The Yankees' No. 20 prospect was 3-for-4 with a homer and a career-high five RBIs as Class A Charleston fell to Greenville, 7-5.
Bird, who fell a triple shy of the cycle, smacked a ground-rule double in the first inning to plate Cito Culver, singled home Jake Cave in the third and launched a three-run homer in the fifth.
"I was just going up trying to get pitches to hit, that's the name of the game," Bird said. "Generally, when you swing at good pitches, you get better results. I was trying to stay within my gameplan and not do too much and it worked out for me. If we got the win, it would have been even better."
Bird, who drove in four runs on Aug. 26, 2012 while with short-season Staten Island, has been on fire at the plate in June. The 20-year-old first baseman is batting .350 with three homers and 22 RBIs in 22 South Atlantic League games. He extended his hitting streak to 10 games Wednesday and has driven in runs in eight of those 10 games, compiling 18 RBIs.
"Early on I put pressure on myself. Understandable, it's really my first full season and I wanted to do well," Bird said. "I started to let it come to me, don't speed it up and stick with my plan go out and execute it. That's all you can do, hit it hard and let it take care of itself."
After being selected in the fifth round by the Yankees in 2011, the Colorado native played four games in the Gulf Coast League following a late signing. Bird battled hand and back injuries in 2012, playing just 28 Minor League gaames between the Gulf Coast League and the New York-Penn League.
"It's been a process," Bird said. "The whole year has been a learning experience and I'm real happy with where I am at the plate right now."
The back injury is what led the Yankees to move Bird from his natural position behind the plate to first base.
"I played a lot of it growing up and throughout high school, I have a feel for it," he said. "I have a lot of room to grow, we're working on it."
Overall, Bird is batting .298 with seven homers and 46 RBIs while ranking fourth in the league with a .419 on-base percentage.
Culver was 2-for-3 with two runs scored and a stolen base while Cave scored twice out of the leadoff spot for Charleston.
Jose Campos gave up a run on five hits and struck out six over four innings, but did not figure into the decision for the RiverDogs. Brett Gerritse fell to 6-5 after allowing six runs on seven hits over 3 2/3 frames.
Mookie Betts was 4-for-4 with three runs scored and two RBIs while Jose Vinicio, the No. 18 Red Sox prospect, had three hits and two RBIs as the Drive rallied from a four-run deficit.
Yunior Ortega improved to 2-2 after allowing a hit over three innings of relief for Greenville.

A. It was quite common for immigrants to change their names after arriving in the United States — in many cases, they purposely assumed new sobriquets to fit in, sound more American and avoid prejudice. (By the way, it's a myth that Ellis Island officials changed immigrants' surnames upon their arrival — officials simply checked off names already written on passenger lists created at the port of departure.) But names sometimes were changed inadvertently. When immigrant children attended school, for example, the teacher may have started calling them by more American-sounding names that the children eventually adopted. Occasionally, the new name was a variation of the original one, as was the case in my family. And it wasn't always the immigrant who took on the new moniker: My father — the son of Italian immigrants — changed our surname from DeBartolo to Bart.
Immigrants could change their names legally, but they weren't required to and most often didn't. Most would simply choose a new moniker and start using it.
