It's been over a year and I'm back with a story. For those who had me on Story Alert and are hoping I have a slasher fic for them...I'm sorry. Really, truly sorry. But I've moved on. (To a fandom even smaller than my previous one, apparently. I really know how to pick 'em, don't I?)
Anyway, my school held a production of Bat Boy: The Musical a few months back, and it stuck with me, so here's a multi-chapter, alternate universe fanfiction for all you Batophiles! If you don't enjoy these type of stories, I have also been writing a series of Bat Boy vignettes that will be up shortly, so you can go read those instead. And when you're finished, review! Constructive criticism is always appreciated.
Oh, and the title. No idea. Couldn't think of one. But hopefully the quote below might help explain it.
Without further ado...
"Those thunderclouds are closing in…" – Bat Boy: The Musical
I don't love him.
Yet there he was, on his knees, proposing to her, looking into her eyes for the first time in months. He was asking her to marry him, because she was pregnant with his child and he hoped that she would love him again.
She could not.
Every time she saw him, she saw not the kind, handsome, brilliant veterinarian who had enthralled her, but only the man who had violated her. She looked into his eyes now, too, and still all she could see the uncontrollable lust; she saw his hands reaching out and grabbing her and forcing himself on her…
Her vision cleared, and now she saw something else: that he loved her, that he would continue loving her even if she didn't. Could she callously deny his greatest wish?
No, she could not.
So she accepted, and he smiled and swung her around in his arms while she controlled her shudder of revulsion, and hoped that someday, she would come to love him again.
But in her heart, she knew she never would.
Harlan Ellis had heard a lot of nice things said about fresh air – how wonderful it smelled, how refreshing it was after hours of confinement, how healthy it made you.
After a decade of it, though, he was starting to find it a bit wearing.
Perhaps it was the nature of Hope Falls fresh air – a perfect mixture of animal sweat, decaying meat, and blood. Oh, and don't forget the abundance of cow manure.
The sacrifices he made for his job, he thought to himself as he crept up behind a cow that had drifted away from the herd.
Loners always suffered the most, he mused as he slashed open its throat. The cow toppled over with a gurgling moo and he leaped clear; experience had taught him that animals never died quickly – they went through several minutes of death throes, spraying blood everywhere in the process.
He waited patiently for the cow to stop kicking, fearing that all the blood would be drained out before it had died. It had not; it never did, and he laid a bucket under its slashed neck to collect the scarlet liquid.
He had no worries about what the owner would think. Rural folk were all the same – a superstitious lot, as likely to blame a vengeful God as turn on the nearest scapegoat. He hoped it was the former, though the second option was always more entertaining.
When the bucket was filled he made his way out of the grazing area and back to his tent in the clearing.
"Dude, you are so hot!"
Shelley flipped her hair expertly behind her shoulders and smiled enticingly. Rick Taylor, the class dropout, the rebellious cave explorer, and the hottest guy in school, had just said she was hot.
She said, "You know my mom's upstairs tonight?"
He grinned and nearly sent Shelley melting. "So? Who's going to get into trouble if she finds out?"
"Exactly." He leaned over and kissed her, and she really did melt this time.
"Oh shoot!" She shoved Rick away and quickly dropped on to the sofa, book in hand. "Yeah Mom?"
"Are you ready? We're going shopping!"
What? She wasn't going shopping! She saw Rick give her a look and quickly shook her head. "Mom, what're you talking about? I'm not going shopping!"
"Of course you are honey. You're already dressed!" Meredith came popping downstairs and promptly grabbed her wayward daughter and her boyfriend and deposited them outside. "You'll have to come back tomorrow Rick. Come along Shelley."
But there was no stopping Meredith when her daughter's honor was at stake. Shelley could only mouth a frantic, "My room tonight!" at Rick before she was stuffed in the backseat of the car.
"Mom what was that! Rick and I were busy talking!" Shelley cried.
"Honey, I'm not stupid. You and Rick were very far from talking. Haven't any of my warnings come through to you?"
"Which ones?" Shelley couldn't help but compare her mother to Rick Taylor's mom. Sure, her mom was single and divorced, while Mrs. Taylor was not, but they were similar in one big way – they were like female grizzly bears when it came to their children.
Meredith was saying, "Boys have hormones, and they are not like girls – they just can't control themselves."
"If I had a dad, he would've let me go out with him."
"Shelley, a father is even more protective of his daughter than a mother is," her mother said. "Your father would have cheerfully slit the Taylor boy's throat open."
What a lovely image, Shelley thought to herself.
"Well, enough wallowing," her mother continued, "Come dear, we need to go to the mall and get you a lovely dress for Reverend Hightower's revival," Meredith finished with great cheerfulness.
"I have a dress!"
"That old thing? You need more dresses Shelley!"
"No I don't!"
"You see? It's lovely, don't you think?"
"Yes, and it only took us THREE HOURS to find!" Shelley yelled. She was unbelievably pissed – she and Rick could have spent the entire night… getting to know each other… until her mom had to come and ruin it.
Hopefully Rick had gotten the message. Hopefully he wouldn't come too early and crash into her mom… or too late and find her asleep. She loved Rick, but he could be a bit dense at times.
"But you will look lovely at the revival," Meredith gushed, oblivious to her daughter's plans. "And it is the social event of the season."
"I don't want to look lovely; I want to look like myself."
Meredith tapped her hand against the steering wheel as they drove past the seemingly endless stretch of woods. The small town of Hope Falls had depended upon its coal mines for revenue, and when that dried up, its cows. The town was so out of the way that there were no lights along the bumpy road, leaving Shelley staring out at the dark outlines of numerous trees.
That was why the sudden light of the carnival was so easy to see.
"My goodness, what is that?" Meredith gasped.
Shelley squinted, then cried, "The carnival!"
The carnival had once been a yearly event, but had stopped coming as the townspeople migrated out to search for new jobs. Shelley had missed it, so much that she didn't let her new teenage status deter her from showing too much childish enthusiasm.
"Mom, can we go oh please can we go Mom I really want to go Mom can we -"
"PLEASE MOM, I promise I won't ask for anything I'll wear the stupid dress and everything -"
"Shelley! We'll go if you calm down and be quiet!"
Shelley's memories of the carnival had, over the years, been so embellished that the real thing simply could not compare to the nostalgic version of it in her mind.
It was still fun.
As soon as she could, Shelley ditched her mom – she may be at a carnival, but she hadn't lost all her teenage dignity. She rode on just about every ride she knew wouldn't make her vomit, ate huge amounts of junk food, and played perhaps every game available, even winning a few of them to her great surprise.
It wasn't until it was quite late that she saw someone that really made her night.
"Rick!" She would recognize that hair anywhere. "Rick!"
He waved and strolled over. "Hey Shell, you need to check out the freak cage! They've got some wild stuff there!"
"A freak?"
"Yeah, like nothing you've ever seen! C'mon!" He grabbed her hand and dragged her off before she could really relish the joy of him touching her.
There was a large tent and a small crowd gathered inside. Rick shoved aside some people and joined his two siblings, Ron and Ruthie, at the front.
Shelley glanced up at the blinding yellow lights. There was a tall wooden platform on which stood a tall man dressed in garishly outlandish clothing, with a truly horrible stovepipe hat on his dark hair. As the crowd cheered the lights swirled around him, setting up a cascade of colors meant to heighten the tension.
"That's the guy who owns it," Rick whispered, pointing to him. Shelley couldn't help but roll her eyes. Well, duh. The lights dimmed as he spoke to an eerie reddish glow that spread over the audience like blood; only one bright yellow light remained, spotlighting the carnival man, standing in erect silence, hands crossed behind his back.
When the crowd was absolutely silent, he spoke, raising his arms over the room in a dramatic gesture.
"In a cave many miles to the south," he said, "there lived a boy born with fangs in his mouth! He sleeps until the fading light, he flies through bloody dreams; and when he awakes the summer night… is filled with screams!"
His voice sounded as if he were speaking intimately to one member of the audience, yet at the same time projecting over the entire crowd. Shelley barely breathed as he leaped gracefully from his makeshift podium and onto the floor directly in front of the audience. Suddenly a hidden door opened behind him, causing the audience to gasp and back away. A tall box-like structure was pulled out through no discernible force, a large bright cloth covering its contents.
"It was born in the bogs," he cried, leading the audience ever closer to the hidden structure. "It feeds on the flies and frogs!" The box was moved out at the same time, until it was almost up to the audience, who had no fence or barrier against it. The people moved away hesitantly, circling around it for a better view.
"You call him 'Beast,'" Ellis said, voice dropping, "or 'Changeling'. Or even 'Demon'. But we will prove he's no such thing." He reached for the cloth, and a sudden breeze swelled the tent, blowing the cloth against the box – against the cage, Shelley thought, suddenly seeing the outline of the bars.
"For the world is man or beast -"
"Shelley, what are you doing in here?" a very familiar voice whispered.
"- but he is both yet neither -"
"Mom? What are you doing here?" Shelley hissed. Her mother looked towards the spectacle going on and smothered a cry, eyes widening.
"So…ladies and gentlemen, I give you -" He tore off the cloth with a flourish, "the Bat Boy!"
A gasp spread around the crowd as they beheld the creature within. Only Shelley heard a muffled cry escape from her mother behind her.
It was as horrifying as the man had said – a chained thing, half-naked, filthy and pale. It was human in shape, but thin and wasted. What was most amazing was the head – no makeup could duplicate the fanged mouth, pointed ears, bald skull, and protuberant, luminous eyes.
As the people muttered, backed away, or in the case of the Taylor kids, moved forward, the thing hissed, baring its mouth open like a cat.
"Don't worry ladies and gentlemen, we are quite safe." As if to prove him wrong, the Bat Boy lunged forward at the three approaching children, held back only by a collar and chain about its neck. "It is restrained with solid steel chains. Which brings me to the next part…"
He stepped in front of the cage heedlessly, his back to the thing. From a pocket he pulled out a – Shelley shivered – dead mouse.
"Some of you may say this is not a real creature – that it is merely a man in makeup and incredible acting skills." He turned and waved the mouse. The creature stopped hissing, stopped moving altogether, except for the eyes, fixed on the slowly swinging mouse.
"Others may say that, yes, it is real, but it is still a human creature, capable of feeling and thought." Ellis moved around the cage, the Bat Boy's gaze never leaving him, or the treat he held.
"But I will show you that you are WRONG!" The audience jumped at the sudden change in volume. "No human creature would act like this!"
He threw the mouse into the cage and the boy leapt and snatched it in his mouth. In two seconds he had swallowed the thing whole.
The audience started to murmur once more.
"And no human would react… like this…"
Ellis rolled back a sleeve and drew from another pocket, a thin knife. Slowly he sliced along his arm, drawing gasps and squeals of horror from the audience that increased tenfold when dark blood began to ooze.
But that was nothing compared to the Bat Boy's reaction. The creature seemed to almost break free of its bonds, leaping and snarling madly, a feral rage in its eyes. Several women screamed; there was a loud thump as one of them fainted.
"It's sick!"
"It ain't human!"
"It's some kinda demon!"
Ellis wiped up the blood and rolled down his sleeve. "You see, ladies and gentlemen? There are mysteries out there – creatures that never should have been born, abominations of nature we will never solve! This is but one of them! I thank you –and good night!"
He spread his hands out as the lights swerved maniacally over him and the raging boy. Both man and creature backed into the platform, and as the doors swung shut, the lights went out.
Slowly the crowd filed out, still murmuring over the spectacle. Shelley made to follow, but her mother grabbed her arm sharply.
"Shelley?" Rick looked behind his shoulder; beside him, Ron and Ruthie stopped as well. "You comin' babe?"
"No she isn't," Meredith answered sharply for her daughter. "You go on Rick Taylor. Don't let your momma know about this, got it?"
"Course not Mrs. Parker," Rick said with the respectful tone of voice he adopted only around adults. "C'mon guys."
The two younger children trotted obediently after their older brother. As soon as they were gone Shelley whirled on her mother.
"What do you mean I'm not going with Rick?" she hissed. "I'm not a child, I can take care of myself!"
"I will not debate this with you Shelley, because that is not the reason for this," Meredith answered angrily, voice barely a whisper. "I need you for something else."
"A distraction." She nodded towards the platform. "Anything. Scream, break something, set a fire, but do something." She paused. "But I would prefer you not set a fire."
"Mom." Shelley caught her arm. "What're you going to do?"
Meredith shook her head. "I'll tell you later. Go!" And she was off behind the platform.
Shelley wrung her hands. A distraction? Her mom should have gotten Rick for this – he was the bad boy. She was a good girl.
Rick! Rick and his dumb siblings! That was it!
She raced outside, calling his name.
When the crowd was gone Harlan Ellis closed and tied off the tent flaps and entered the platform through a door, cleverly disguised as part of the wood.
Inside the platform was the cage, seven feet tall and five feet in length and width. Still chained to the floor was the Bat Boy, struggling against its bonds. Ellis sighed; after years of imprisonment, still it continued to repeat those actions. The thing must be mentally as well as physically impaired.
When it saw him, it hissed, thrashing furiously; it would be at the corner if it weren't bound to the center. Ellis lay down a bowl of blood near its head. Immediately the starved boy sat up and hobbled its way over. Within seconds most of the blood was gone, down the Bat Boy's throat.
"There now, all full?" Ellis said rhetorically, knowing the thing couldn't answer. He forced back the Bat Boy's head, still covered in blood, and tied a muzzle around its mouth, jaw, and head. It struggled futilely as he tightened the straps, then gave up as Ellis forced it away. He could hear it gnawing at the leather as he locked up the cage.
He wiped the blood off his arms and stripped off the thin wax, smoothing over the slit. He wiped off the sweat on his vest and went to the bathroom to wash off any remaining stains.
Finished, he checked over the wax covering and placed it carefully in his desk drawer, locking it up as he always did. It would not do for the audience to discover that he did not cut himself, oh no. But the blood – that was real enough, collected from dead animals he hunted himself.
He pulled off the stifling hot suit he wore and settled himself on the chair. It had been a good night. A large audience, completely enthralled by his tale of the creature, quite naïve…though what else could you expect from a backwater, coal mining town?
He sat up when he heard loud screams. Perhaps it was some stragglers, goggling at the bat boy. He was on the verge of rushing out – he's had enough close calls, idiot teenagers sometimes an inch from being bitten and sucked dry of blood – but stopped. The shrieks were coming from outside the tent.
He frowned and stepped outside, not noticing the woman watching him leave, and creeping forward towards the cage now locked securely in the back.

Taurus 617
Hi new to forum and wanted to get started right away and pick some of your brains about revolvers. I as looking for a .357 snubby to CCW. I have looked at and shot a couple the Ruger SP101 and the Taurus 605 both 5 shots. I did like the Ruger but, am in a $410 budget including tax and in New Jersey a $15 NICS charge. I like the Taurus 605 but, want the 617 which holds 7 rounds. Not much in weight difference. The 617 is about 2oz heavier that the 101 but you gain 2 more rounds with the 617 but, the 605 is 4.4 oz lighter then the 617 but, you lose 2 rounds. for you guys that carry revolvers what is your perspective on choosing a CCW revolver. Lighter less rounds or a few oz heavier and gain exta rounds? I fall into the price if I go blued and not SS.
While Taurus, contrary to many folks belief, makes an OK low-medium price gun, they're not in the same league as Ruger and Smith. The Smith & Wesson 617 is an excellent handgun and will probably out last you and your heirs. As will the Ruger. I'm partial to the Smith but either will give you a great weapon.
I have seen and read so much bad press about Taurus revolvers that I wouldn't take one for free. While some folks just like to bash products, there's just so much smoke about them there must be a fire also. On THR, a well respected fella posted his adventures with a new Taurus that came with a bent frame and the time it took for Taurus to resolve the issue.
Read this thread all the way through before investing in a Taurus revolver:
I'd buy a used S&W or Ruger myself...
I own a titanium 617 357 magnum that I purchased used for 300 dollars and it is a great gun . I have never had any problems with it and it is very accurate out to about 17 yards. which is fine considering it has a two inch barrel. So far I have fired about two thousand rounds through it with no problems. Ruger makes great revolvers also at a good price. Personally I think smith and wesson is charging a little to much for their revolvers. They make a great product but is it really worth it to pay between 700 and 1400 dollars for a smith and wesson product.
5 shot. Hit'em in the chest with the 1st 1

Click here to check out our online meditation store Melissa Escaro, Huffington Post: Mindfulness seems to be all the rage now, and it is a pleasant surprise how mainstream meditation is becoming. More and more people are tuning into meditation, from Anderson Cooper's television experience with a mindfulness retreat to groups like Operation Warrior Wellness, which focus on bringing stress-reducing techniques to veterans and their families with PTSD. It's encouraging to see these traditional practices gaining traction in today's modern world.

Guided Mindfulness Meditation: A Complete Guided Mindfulness Meditation Program from Jon Kabat-Zinn Moeeow County Sentinal: A friend has become a big believer in the power of mindfulness. Recently she said she thinks it has helped improve her marriage. I thought mindfulness was really just a new word for meditation. How can it help with relationships with other people?
While meditation can help a person develop mindfulness, the practice of being mindful is more than meditation. And some studies do suggest that mindfulness can help strengthen relationships.

Mindfulness, a term that until fairly recently has not been very much in the current parlance has recently become a popular subject.

Heartbreak can be the result of many situations. It can be the loss of or a change in a relationship, the loss of a loved one, a major life adjustment or the loss of something that is important to you.

Everyone messes up. Me, you, the neighbors, Mother Teresa, Mahatma Gandhi, King David, the Buddha, everybody.
It's important to acknowledge mistakes, feel appropriate remorse, and learn from them so they don't happen again. But most people keep beating themselves up way past the point of usefulness: they're unfairly self-critical.
Inside the mind are many sub-personalities. For example, one part of me might set the alarm clock for 6 am to get up and exercise . . . and then when it goes off, another part of me could grumble: "Who set the darn clock?" More broadly, there is a kind of inner critic and inner protector inside each of us. For most people, that inner … Read more »
You know that feeling when you're with another person, and there's an awkwardness — a sense that there's something missing? And you find yourself scrambling around thinking of something interesting to say that'll bring your connection back to life?
Sometimes this does in fact kick-start a conversation in which we can both become absorbed, but sometimes our anxiety prevents that from happening.
I realized recently that I've had that a lot in my life.
Now when I'm on my own, I know what to do with unpleasant feelings of awkwardness. I'll simply pay attention to them mindfully, until they pass. And often, even as I'm in the act of noticing my discomfort, I'll find that … Read more »
Intimacy and autonomy are independent dimensions, and it is their combination that counts.

See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=378927 for upstream bugs about this. You can confirm this by visiting http://mrmazda.no-ip.com/auth/dpi-screen-window.html to see reported DPI and default FF px setting will probably be about half what xdpyinfo and 'xrdb -query | grep dpi' report. > > The crossover point is 144 DPI. As long as your X DPI is below this, FF will behave as you are used to. If your system is really a 163 DPI system, and you don't like the scaling effects, you'll have to reconfigure something so that FF thinks or knows the DPI is less than 144. In about:config you could set layout.css.dpi to 143 as a direct workaround. Also you could set the system's Xft.dpi to less than 144. > > If your system is not really a 163 DPI system, you need to reconfigure X so FF doesn't think that's what it is. > -- Thanks for the information, it really helped. xrdb reports: Xft.dpi: 120 Setting that value in about:config gives a decent display. If I go higher (say the 143) then portions of the window on the right and bottom aren't visible. I'm assuming that the value from xdpyinfo is probably incorrect, though I don't know at this point where to look. darrell

Kayah or Kayah Li is a member of Karen branch of the Sino-Tibetan language family. It is spoken by about 590,000 people in the Kayah and Karen states of Burma (Myanmar). The language and people who speak it are also known as Western Kayah, Karenni, Karennyi, Red Karen, Yang Daeng or Karieng Daeng.
The Kayah Li alphabet was devised by Htae Bu Phae in March 1962. It is taught in schools in refugee camps in Thailand. It appears to be modelled, to some extent, on scripts such as Thai and Burmese.

Moving to the Cloud? Find Out the Cost with SolarWinds' App
SolarWinds has just released a new free tool that businesses can use to calculate the cost of moving virtual machines to the cloud.
It's a handy app, because it takes the manual guesswork out of what it would take to move virtual machines (VMs) to the cloud. Now, you can finally convince your manager why moving to the cloud is a good (or bad) idea.
SolarWinds VM to Cloud Calculator calculates the cost of running your VMs at a handful of vendors. This information is generated in a report. You are prompted first to enter your host name credentials by IP address or hostname and then the username and password. It connects to your VM environment to detect all of the VMs deployed and approximates the cost of running those VMs in public cloud platforms like Amazon EC2, Windows Azure and Rackspace.
Advanced settings allow users to display costs by quarter, month or year. The app automatically detects which currency to use, but users can change that information. You can also change the hosting location, for example, perhaps you are interested in using Amazon's East coast servers rather than its ones out west.
For businesses not planning to move VM to the cloud, the app still has benefit. It gives detailed information on a VM infrastructure. With it, users can see information such as VM description, CPU, memory, storage and count of VMs. So it can be for inventory purposes or as a baseline for how your VM environment runs.
The app can be downloaded from SolarWinds site.

Previous: Anarchic Germany (CYOAH)
The conference, after much debate, decides that the time for Germany is over. They have shown themselves incapable of having a unified nation, due to the current state of affairs, and previous experiences. After debate, Germany is divided up, with France, Belgium, Netherlands, Czechoslovakia, Austria, Denmark, and Poland dividing Germany up into administrative zones. The Soviets are none too happy, since this would be strengthening their enemies, but they decide to bide their time.
As the nations move into their zones, they encounter a problem. The Germans are none too happy that their nation is being occupied, and turn their attention from killing each other to killing the "invaders". Before anyone knows what is going on, a full blown rebel insurgency has sprung up in Germany. Fortunately, they aren't acting in concerted efforts yet, so the rebellion could be stopped, but action must be taken quickly. What will happen in Germany?
Germany throws off their oppressors!
A central German state is made.

Joomla uses PHP, and I am having trouble editing the php file in order to increase the file size so I can upload videos..
Can someone tell me where the location of the main php.ini is ?
Many thanks

Mar 31, 2011 at 10:22 UTC
Depends on where you installed it. Did you run the php installer, or just grab the .zip and unpack?
Some people put the entire php directory on C:\, some put them in Program Files.
Or are we talking about a nix system?
Either way, php.ini should be in the same directory as everything else.
Mar 31, 2011 at 10:39 UTC
Have you tried adjusting the settings in Global Configuration > System > Media Settings?
Mar 31, 2011 at 3:25 UTC
If its a unix box you can change the setting by adding lines to your .htaccess file.
If its a shared hosting account you probably won't have access to your php.ini.
Apr 1, 2011 at 3:30 UTC
The php.ini can be in various locations, depending on operating system and HTTP server. If it's your server, check your httpd config and the config for the individual site to see which php.ini it's using. You need to change post_max_size to something that'll encompass your needs, and you may need to increase max_input_time so that your script doesn't timeout while uploading, default is 30 seconds.
Joomla can tell you which php.ini file it thinks it's using, but I do recall earlier versions of Joomla getting it quite wrong.... Newer versions seem to do ok though :D
If you don't have access to the php.ini, you can add something like this to your .htaccess file:
php_value upload_max_filesize 100M
php_value max_input_time 900
(These settings will allow you to upload up to a 100 Meg file over 15 minutes).
If you don't have access to php.ini, and your host don't allow you to use .htaccess, you could try editing the uploader script, and add in something like:
I've never had to use this, so I can give you absolutely no guarantees it will work, but it's a third and, as far as I know, final option before you need to look for a new host.
Hope this helps :D
Apr 1, 2011 at 4:00 UTC
I have attached the php info I found within Joomla in the hopes it helps a bit for you..
Joomla runs on a jumpbox VM..
I inherited the system and am still vauge about the initial setup of it..
Thanks and regards
Apr 1, 2011 at 5:28 UTC
Do you have access to the filesystem of the vm?
If you have access, then you could edit /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini and look for the lines that say:
max_input_time 60
post_max_size 8M
And change them to more sensible figures (Just have a think about how big the videos you want to upload are, and how long it would take to upload that on a connection that's standard for your users). I think I would also change:
upload_max_filesize 20M
To match whatever you set in post_max_size
Then just reload apache - usually /etc/init.d/apache reload
Apr 8, 2011 at 6:50 UTC
Yes I have access.
Would I need to access the file in question via command line ?
Im not to familiar with the back end..
Kind Regards
Apr 13, 2011 at 4:16 UTC
1st Post
*EDIT* before you edit any file make sure you create a backup!
Based on the output from your php info the "Loaded Configuration File" or main php.ini file is located at "/etc/php5/apache2/php.ini".
So you need to edit that in some manner (my favorite command line method listed below) or at the root of the Joomla Install or whereever the script is for uploading files you can just edit/create a .htaccess and put the values others have listed above:
(path to webroot)/.htaccess
php_value memory_limit 100M
php_value post_max_size 100M
php_value upload_max_filesize 100M
php_value max_input_time 900
and in some cases you can just add a php.ini in that location with the modified values so:
(path to webroot)/php.ini
memory_limit = 100M
post_max_size = 100M
upload_max_filesize = 100M
max_input_time = 900
or of course edit your actual main php.ini file and find those individual values and change there which most likely will require root or sudo privileges and a restart of your web server:
1) open up your terminal/ssh connection (command line)
2) enter: sudo vim /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini and enter your password if prompted
3) type: ?memory_limit
or whatever value your searching for which should find the line you want and put your cursor on it. in the case of memory limit it should look something like:
memory_limit = 64M
4) hit i which will allow you to change the text
5) use the arrow keys to go over to the value and then delete and renter the value you want so 64M to 128M
then hit ESC and type :w to save
6) repeat steps 3 - 5 for other changes
7) type :wq to save and quit
8) then restart your apache server to have the settings take affect and check your phpinfo to verify.
hope that helps, let me know if you need more clarification.
May 16, 2012 at 7:09 UTC
i think the simplest way would be to log into WHM (if you have that access) filter on PHP which will give you the tool for changing all your php.ini settings.

Like the seasons, the school year has a rhythm. As sultry summer turned into balmy September, your tween or teen's teachers may have given him or her time to re-acclimate to the rigors of academic environment. But now it's October: Cool weather and homework go hand in hand. And it builds toward the big crescendo that culminates in Halloween and finally Thanksgiving.
RELATED: Setting Goals: Help Your Child Visualize Success
Here are five things you can do — and five your child can do — to ensure success:
What You Can Do
1. Have a collaborative conversation with your tween or teen about a productive homework approach. This especially important if your child has an active after-school life.
2. Commit to encouraging a calm and quiet environment for your tween or teen while she is completing her homework. If she has siblings who often interrupt her for example, make it clear that she is not to be bothered. Avoid creating unnecessary noise. For example, don't run the blender or turn up the music when you know she is trying to complete her assignments.
3. Monitor distractions. Cell phones and social networking sites do not mix well with homework. If your tween or teen is particularly prone to avoiding homework you may need to take away cell phones, tablets, and other electronic distractions during homework time.
RELATED: 3 Ways to Teach Your Kids to Be Media Literate
4. Only offer help when asked. Try not to take it personally if he opts to get help from another resource such as a friend. The key is that he is trying to get help. Encourage and validate these efforts.
5. If she asks for help, work with her. If her questions are simple, you can certainly offer assistance. Avoid doing the work for her, however. If she needs more help than you can or perhaps should provide, help her devise a plan to seek out appropriate resources. For example, she can go to after-school help.
What Your Tween or Teen Can Do
1. A planner is an essential item. Regardless of whether her planner is real or virtual (e.g. a phone calendar), it is important to create a specific space to record homework assignments. These days many schools provide websites that students can check to make sure they got all the assignments down correctly. Students should also plug in dates for longer-term projects.
2. Create a homework schedule. If your tween or teen is particularly prone to disorganization, a more detailed schedule may be important. He should block out the order in which he will complete homework in each subject along with rough time estimates. These estimates will get more accurate as the school year continues.
3. Pre-plan breaks. In order to make the best use of available time it is helpful to schedule in time for rest and relaxation. How much time to schedule and how often will depend on your tween's or teen's ability to remain motivated and focused. She may have to try out a few different approaches before she finds the routine that works best for her.
4. Homework prep encourages efficiency. Before beginning assignments it is helpful to check that he has all the essential tools at his fingertips. If for example, he has a science assignment that requires calculations, ensuring that his calculator is readily accessibility will cut back on the time wasted in a search.
5. An efficient filing system is a must. Once an assignment is completed, it is important to file it in an obvious and accessible place. Students should designate separate homework folders for each individual subjects. This will ensure that completed assignments are handed in for credit. It also serves as a place to store returned homework assignments that may be needed to use or study from in the future.

YPO: Asian CEO Confidence Remains Solidly Optimistic
SINGAPORE, Oct 28, 2014 - (ACN Newswire) - After reaching a three-year high in the second quarter of the year, confidence among business leaders in Asia softened slightly over the third quarter. The YPO Global Pulse Confidence Index for Asia fell 1.8 points to 65.5 in the most recent survey of CEOs. The regional reading, however, is firmly in optimistic territory and more than 2.0 points higher than the global composite.
"While optimism in China and India was little changed versus the July survey, business sentiment suffered somewhat in other parts of Asia, for example in Japan as the government reiterated plans to further increase the consumption tax next year, as well as in Hong Kong amidst civil protests," said Terry O'Connor, regional chief executive officer of Courts Asia and a member of YPO's Southeast Asia regional board. "But the important thing is that on the whole, confidence levels across the region are robust, indicating that CEOs expect economic expansion to continue."
The modest but broad-scale decrease in confidence erased two consecutive quarterly gains by the ASEAN economies, whose composite index dropped 4.6 points to 62.5. In Japan, confidence slipped 2.8 points to 57.1, setting it back to its January level but still comfortably higher than its five-year average. In China, confidence edged lower for the third consecutive quarter, with the index losing 0.5 point to register at a still-optimistic 62.9. Sentiment in India held steady after a post-election bump last quarter, inching down 0.6 point to a lofty 71.1.
YPO Global Pulse Confidence Index
The quarterly electronic survey, conducted in the first two weeks of October, gathered answers from 2,431 chief executive officers around the world, including 276 in Asia. Globally, the YPO Global Pulse Confidence Index edged down 0.8 point on moderate declines in most regions, remaining in optimistic territory at 63.2. Visit www.ypo.org/globalpulse for more information about the survey methodology and results from around the world. A more detailed version of this release may be found at www.ypo.org/news-media/press-releases/.

Police killed four dogs and captured a fifth suspected of mauling a 14-year-old girl in Manchester, England to death, while she was eating a meat pie at a neighbor's house.
Emergency crews found the body of Jade Anderson with bite marks consistent with a dog attack inside the home, the Manchester Guardian reported.
"I understand this is an extremely distressing incident for all concerned, including the community, and we will work hard to establish the full circumstances that led to this tragedy," police Superintendent Mark Kenny told the newspaper.
The incident happened around 2 p.m. as Jade visited friends in the Greater Manchester area, BBC reported.
Police said they weren't sure how well the girl knew the dogs.
She was described by those who knew her as unassuming yet lively.
"We hoped she had a great future ahead of her and she was making excellent progress," Jan Garretts, the principal at Jade's school, told BBC.
Police destroyed the dogs, believed to be two bull mastiffs and two Staffordshire bull terriers. There were no previous complaints or reports of the dogs running loose, police told media.
Friends told a TV station that the dogs attacked as Jade ate, Sky News said.
"She had a pie in her hand and has gone to bite it, she moved the pie and the dogs gone for her throat and then they have all gone for her," the young woman told Sky.
A post-mortem is scheduled to determine more details.

"Embarrassed" boss Charlie Brown urged his Ripon City players to rekindle their flailing confidence after a third defeat.
City were hammered 6-0 by high flying Leeds City on Saturday, three days after losing to rivals Boroughbridge 3-1 at Aldborough Road.
And with another strong test against last season's runners up Oxenhope Recreation at Mallorie Park on Saturday, Brown wants more from his senior players.
He said: "We are playing silent football at the moment.
"We need to get back to being noisy, busy and vibrant.
"A couple of defeats and the confidence is shot to pieces.
"We look down and capable of shipping a bucket load."
City started brightly in Saturday's contest but conceded three sloppy first half goals to hand Leeds the advantage.
The gaffer knew the game was all but up, and the defeat turned heavy in the second period with three more strikes for the visitors.
"Six-nil flattered them," said Brown.
"Defensively we were poor. The goals have come from mistakes not through good incisive play.
"It's a spanking. I can take one or two but at six, people say you have had a run around.
"It's embarrassing to look at the league tables, and the results at the moment.
"We have to get our act together again and get ourselves ready for the next one."
After three defeats and two wins, Ripon lie 12th in West Yorkshire League Premier.
Recreation's visit on Saturday provides City with another stern test in front of their home supporters and the Keighley side have started the season winning three games out of five.
Brown said: "They are a big physical side. They are very capable of scoring a lot of goals,.
"They have a number of players that do get their foot in but they have kids that can play too. You don't get anything from them.
"We have a lot of young lads in the side. It's very easy to feel sorry for ourselves.
"But it is not doom and gloom. We have to work hard to get our confidence back."
James Mason is continuing to return from injury. Striker James Charlesworth is also nearing a return.
And Brown indicated more signings could be on their way to strengthen the unit.
"We are looking at getting in players that have played at a level more than what we are playing now," he added.

1430 – 1530 Speaker 5 - Socio-cultural identity in ME architecture - Yasser Mahgoub
Countries in the ME, especially the Gulf region, have experienced rapid political, economic, physical and technological change during the 20th century.

The results of these efforts are now evident at different scales and location in the ME region. The presentation will discuss several case studies that attempted to express identity and approaches to address them in the design process.

Hi , this is weird for me making this question , but i want to know how men see me as a woman.
I have small breasts , i wear 34 B cup size and my butt is bigger , i get fat in my butt very easily. I feel little bit disconfortable with my body because i think my butt is a lot bigger than my chest and then what i think is super funny is that i have short legs and small feet. I had friends that played with me saying that i have big boobs , very big tights (ass) and then the botton of my legs is small again. And its true i think is a little bit disproportional.
I think my ass is great but i dont like to get fatter because i feel more disporpotional. When i wear some type of clothes i feel very wied and i have to find shoes that dont make my feet look smaller.
All my life since i was teen i think im not the type of girl to attract men because i dont have big boobs and not even very big butt. I dont want to have it either , i just dont like very much my legs , i think s disporportional. Seing my body structure what you think?
Do you find me attractive as a woman? Im 21 and lot of people when know my age are like whatt? Even a guy said that maximum the age that he gave was 16 .
I take some pictures but the quality is not the best. (Dont look to my old clothes that i wear at home )
I look little bit fatter in the second picture.
Most Helpful Guy
Look younger than 18. Anyway, I don't see why you are complaining about those things because I don't see anything unattractive about your body. You are just looking at yourself with a negative attitude making you see yourself as unattractive. Look at yourself with a positive attitude. Look for the goods. And you will be proud of your body.11|00|0
All you say its true i have low self esteem. I just feel little bit insecure about my legs. Thanks for you answer

Author | Jasmeen Dugal | Tuesday, Jan 20,2004 5:56 AM
'Media Network' today launched a specialist service - an executive search for Print, Broadcast and Advertising professionals, also covering related areas such as Corporate Affairs, Public Relations, Market Research, Direct Marketing, Event Management, Sales Promotion, Internet, Film Production, Music and Publishing.
Sunil Kumar, who was until recently, consultant with the BBC World Service and Friday Corporation among other media organisations, established Media Network earlier this month. He began his career in advertising in 1984 and worked for Radio 1, Radio Mid-Day and Zee News.
"In my eighteen years of experience in India and abroad, I've seen how difficult it is for media setups to find the right people, at the right time, for the right kind of money and vice-versa." It helps that an industry insider who understands the sensitivity of professionals in the particular industry has launched the service.
Is there really a need gap for such a service? Kumar says, "With media becoming an increasingly important sector in the Indian economy, and with more and more foreign media companies and investment institutions investing in this sector, the entire recruitment process needs to become much more organised and professional. This would help raise overall standards of corporate governance and individual and organizational accountability."
Media Network has compiled a database of top-level executives employed with media organisations across India. To supplement the existing pool of talent, the Network will identify professionals in other fields and motivate them to join the media industry. "For example, an analyst in an investment banking firm may make a great business editor of a newspaper or a television news channel. Or, there could be an outstanding Head of Advertising Sales hidden in a hospitality person. I have made such recruitment in the past, so I know," states Kumar.

Calcutta, Sept. 11: Tapping into the corporate culture, the Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee government today said the performance of its employees would now be assessed on the basis of marks they score at work.
In the revised assessment procedure, the employees belonging to Groups B, C and D would be graded on a scale of 100 and promotions recommended not merely on the basis of seniority but also on marks scored.
Earlier, the chief minister had said in the Assembly that he would introduce annual confidential reports (ACR) for all categories of employees. But he had to give into pressure from the CPM-dominated employees body the Coordination Committee and assess only 15 marks confidentially. Scores on the remaining 85 marks will be revealed in the employees annual performance report.
This new system with retrospective effect from April 1 this year will monitor factors like attendance, performance, efficiency, accountability and integrity.
Except for accountability and integrity, the report on the other items will be an open report, an official release said.
An employee will have to score 60 per cent marks on the whole to earn eligibility for promotion. Minimum qualifying marks for attendance will be 70 per cent, it says. For consideration of promotion, it is essentially required that integrity will be above board and minimum requirement for accountability will be above average grading, the release added.
While for Group A employees (section officers and above) the existing ACR system will continue, they will have to score an additional 70 per cent on attendance to be eligible for promotion.
Employees of Groups B and C upper and lower division have been allotted 25 marks for attendance, 60 for performance and efficiency, and 15 for accountability and integrity. For Group D employees (peons, orderlies, etc.), there will be 35 marks for attendance, 50 for performance and efficiency, and 15 for accountability and integrity.
The employees will be graded on the basis of office records like attendance register, case book, case diary and field diary.
Co-ordination Committee leaders at Writers Buildings welcomed the revised assessment procedure and said it had been made more objective and specific.
Earlier, we were guided by the open performance report in which there were general comments from superiors on the employees performance. Aspects like efficiency, accountability and integrity were included in the single report. Under the new system, the performance assessment will be done on specifics in a more objective manner like grading, said Jyotiprasad Basu, joint secretary of Co-ordination Committee.
Sources in the state secretariat said that the decision to grade employees was taken last year.

There is one rare case in Bangladesh, a 27-year-old man is world-widely known as 'tree man' due to his rare condition. He has a wood-like structure all over his fingers that looks like tree branches, this wood like branches isn't only on his hand but on his feet too. We can't even imagine living with woody hand and feet, here are this man name Abul Baja near who living with it.
According to Agence France-Presse (AFP), Abul Bajandar has gone through sixteen surgeries to remove wood-like structures from his body till now to remove that wood like branches to look normal. However, these wood warts grow and spread all over his hand and feet again and again. Abul has removed around 5 kilograms of wood in order to remove the extensive from his body by surgeries.
The condition of Abul Bajandar is so bad that he face difficulty in daily basic work like eating, drinking, and bathing. Although he unable to hold his daughter due to his harsh condition.
After goes through the surgery, Abul felt relaxed and spoke out his feelings to AFP, he said, "Now I feel so much better; I can hold my daughter in my lap and play with her."
As per reports and news from many different sources, the rare condition with which Abul dealing is called epidermodysplasia verruciform in medical term. On the base on a report of the year 2010, the affected person has 'Human Papilloma Virus' (HPV) infections in his skin due to which this wood like structure appear on the body. This infection leads to the condition where the wood like warts appear on the affected person's body and person soon looks like a tree man.
According to the report, when HPV attacks on the person his skin turns into the wart-like skin and many small and big tumors start to appear, malignant tumors are most common ones which found in half of such cases. Whereas, according to Medscape, people with this infection who body remains normal without any wood-like warts on any part of the body shown no symptoms at all.
The person who affected by the rare disease called epidermodysplasia verruciform has a variation of two different genes EVER1 and EVER2. However, it is still a mystery that how the variation of these two genes causes the rare disease.
According to the report of The Washington Post, Abul's wood-like warts begun to spread on his hand and feet during the adolescent age and when he turned to 20, the wood like branches started spreading with more speed.
Every day is a struggle for Abul Bajandar for even a little things.
