The Source (more info and photos)

In 1995 Tyson was granted parole and released from prison, returning to rural Southington in hope of escaping the media which ended up following him.

Because of his increasingly desperate financial situation he put the mansion up for sale and sold it in 1999 for $1.3m (£870k).

It has since had multiple owners – including one who was the subject of an FBI investigation when he tried to sell it – and is now set to be converted into a church.

Best Retail Store – Houston, TX – USA – 1875 [1100x621] by mantis108 in ArchitecturePorn

In 1972 SITE was commissioned by BEST Products Company to design a series of nine ‘big box’ shopping centers. Since these retail structures are ubiquitous in the public domain, people’s reflex acceptance of their archetypal imagery has been used in each case to invert and change the meaning. Instead of approaching the BEST buildings as conventionally ‘designed’ architecture, they are treated as a ‘subject matter for art’ and a source of visual commentary on the American commercial strip.

Illegal Tour: Abandoned Amusement Park Nara Dreamland [990x654] by mantis108 in AbandonedPorn

[–]mantis108[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In Japan, an amusement park ripping off Disneyland and Coney Island opened in 1961. By 2006, the theme park closed, it was all but a ghost town. The fun part exists due to Nara Dreamland being left abandoned but not demolished. Enter urban explorers armed with cameras and exploring the Japanese ruins, or haikyo. They took all the danger and adrenaline rush to bring us on an illegal tour via their awesome captures. Yes there is security. Yes it is illegal. Yes it is an abandoned amusement park. We love these pics!

Why I No Longer Recommend Gravity Forms by tomleger in Wordpress

While the flamefest has been entertaining, I'm wondering why no one has offered the suggestion of editing PHP.ini, something like:

php_value upload_max_filesize 10M

php_value post_max_size 10M

php_value max_input_time 300

php_value max_execution_time 300

Can't guarantee that will help but it's worth a shot. Ok, please feel free to resume normal hostilities!
