Customizing Vim
Vim is an editor designed to work like that most venerable of UNIX editors, vi. Vim doesn't just clone vi; it extends vi with features like multi-level undo, a graphical interface (if you want it), windows, block operations, on-line help and syntax coloring.
Along with the new features, Vim 5.5 (the current version as I write) has 196 options you can set. Practically any behavior you might have found obnoxious in plain vi can be configured to your liking in Vim. To download or get more information on Vim, see the Vim home page at http://www.vim.org/. Within Vim, you can view the on-line help at any time by pressing ESC, typing :help and pressing ENTER.
I'll admit that the thought of trudging through 196 options on the off chance that one or two will do what I want might seem a bit daunting, so here are several of my favorite Vim customizations just to get you started. These customizations have saved me much frustration and helped make a regular Vim user out of me.
Before I talk about specific Vim customizations, however, let me explain how to save your customizations so they are loaded each time you start Vim. When you first start using Vim, it will be 100% compatible with vi. You won't notice any of Vim's fancy features until you activate them.
This behavior is nice: it allows system administrators to replace /bin/vi with a link to Vim without their users rising up against them screaming, "vi is broken. Fix it!" In fact, some people have used Vim for years this way without realizing they were using anything fancier than vi. But strict vi emulation can confuse people who expect to see all of Vim's bells and whistles right from the start.
Luckily, it's easy to convince Vim that we know we're actually in Vim and not in vi. Vim customizations are stored in a file called .vimrc in your home directory. If Vim sees that you have a .vimrc file—even if that file is empty—Vim will turn off vi-compatibility mode, which will configure Vim as Vim, rather than vi.
If you don't have a .vimrc file, but you do have an .exrc file that you have used to customize your vi sessions in the past, execute the command
mv ~/.exrc ~/.vimrc
to rename your .exrc file to .vimrc.
If you have neither a .exrc file nor a .vimrc file, execute the command
touch ~/.vimrc
to create an empty .vimrc file.
You're now ready to begin configuring Vim in earnest. You can add commands to your .vimrc file in the same way you would add them to your .exrc file. That is, if you tried Vim's incremental searching feature (which I'll describe shortly) by pressing the ESC key and entering the command
:set incsearch
and decided you wanted to make incremental searching the default behavior for future Vim sessions, you could do it by putting the line
set incsearchinto your .vimrc file on a line by itself. Note the lack of a leading colon.
Suppose you have the following text file to edit:
In Xanadu did Kubla Khan A stately pleasure-dome decree: Where Alph, the sacred river, ran Through caverns measureless to man Down to a sunless sea.
Your cursor is on the I in the first line. You need to get to the first occurrence of the word "measureless". How do you do it?
One way is to press / to put Vim into search mode, type in "measureless", and press ENTER. Vim will find the first "measureless" after the current cursor position and leave your cursor on the m. Easy, in principle, that is. I'm not such a great typist. When I try to search forward for the word "measureless", I'm just as likely to misspell it as not. And if I misspell it as "measurless", I won't realize my mistake until I press ENTER and Vim returns "Pattern not found: measurless".
I could increase my chances of typing the search pattern correctly by searching for a substring of "measureless". For example, if I search for "measu", I have fewer characters to type, which means fewer ways I can mistype my search pattern. However, that means I have to guess how many characters will specify a unique substring of the word I want to find. If I don't type in enough for my search pattern, I'll end up in the wrong location. For example, if search for "me", I'll end up in "pleasure-dome" on line two rather than where I want to be, which is on line four. I'd then have to search again by pressing n.
Vim's incremental search feature can help with both of these problems. To try it out, press the ESC key to enter command mode, then type
:set incsearch
and press ENTER.
Incremental searching means that as you enter your search pattern, Vim will show you the next match as you type each letter. So when you start your search for "measureless" by pressing m, Vim will immediately search forward for the first m in the file following the current cursor position. In this case, it's the m in "pleasure-dome" on line two. Vim will then highlight in the text the pattern it has matched so far for you. Since "pleasure-dome" isn't where you wanted to go, you need to type more letters in your search pattern. When you press e, "pleasure-dome" still matches the substring me, so Vim will highlight the "me" in "pleasure-dome" and wait for more input. When you press a, "pleasure-dome" no longer matches the substring mea, so Vim will highlight the next match for mea, which is "measureless" on line four. Jackpot! Since that's the word you are looking for, press ENTER, and Vim will leave your cursor on the m in "measureless".
With incremental searching, you always know what the results of your search will be, because the results are highlighted on your screen at all times. If you misspell your search pattern, Vim will no longer show you a highlighted match for your search pattern. When your highlighted match string disappears from the screen, you know immediately that you should back up by using the BACKSPACE key, and fix your search pattern. If you change your mind about what you wish to search for, you can press the ESCAPE key, and Vim will return the cursor to its previous location.
setting incremental search in vim problems
Hi do you know of any reason why set incsearch wouldn't work?
Im using osx 10.5 and have tried :set incsearch inside vim 7.2 and macvim and also in .vimrc set incsearch.
thank you
Updated guide to customizing VIM for version 7.1+
While this guide is still applicable, Vim has added a ton of new features since this was published. I have posted an updated "customize vim" guide which can be found here Customizing Vim .
Good stuff
hey, good advice... i have a few more questions. How do we see to it that vim always opens in a full window with a particular color scheme? and... how do we copy lines between two windows of vim. the "y" and "p" jig works well within a window, but doesn't seem work properly between windows...
thanks for the help...
For colors, add
For colors, add colors=darkblue to your .vimrc and that's it.
Lovely advice, thanks!
Lovely advice, thanks!
Excellent examples
I like the incremental search function, and re-added smartcase to my profile, as that is a definite :)
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Rolling Stones Play Surprise Club Show In Paris (October 27, 2012) |
As secrets go, the Rolling Stones' surprise gig on Thursday in Paris has to be considered among the worst-kept variety. Word quickly shot around the world on the Internet about the show well before the band took the stage at La Trabendo rock club, the group's first public show in five years.
But 600 fans on hand, who paid 15 Euros apiece (a little over $19) to attend, may have gotten the classic-rock bargain of the year, given that tickets for the Stones' upcoming concerts at thePrudential Center sports arena in New Jersey are going for $95 to $750 (and that's just at face value).
The Stones' only scheduled 2012 concerts include Nov. 25 and 29 appearances at London's O2 Arena, and Dec. 13 and 15 shows at the Prudential Center. The band is widely expected to tour more extensively in 2013, as a belated 50th anniversary nod to the group's birth in 1962.
Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Ron Wood, supplemented by longtime bassist Darryl Jones and keyboardist Chuck Leavell, ran through a dozen songs Thursday, including their just-released single, "Doom and Gloom."
The set began with the Bobby Troup classic "Route 66," which drew a straight line back to the Stones' days of banging out covers in London clubs, as did their take on Muddy Waters' "Champagne and Reefer," which fleshed out a batch of cornerstone numbers from their own catalog.
The performance also included "It's Only Rock 'n' Roll," "Shattered," "When the Whip Comes Down," "Miss You," "Tumbling Dice," "Start Me Up," and "Midnight Rambler." Returning in response for the crowd's call for an encore, the band threw in "Jumpin' Jack Flash" and "Brown Sugar."
The Stones' official Twitter feed, @RollingStones, provided a song-by-song rundown as the set unfolded, and also posted one of Jagger's comments to the audience: "I can't believe we're all still standing up -- you'd think by now one or two of us would be sitting down, but we're not!"
Here's an excerpt of their performance of "Jumpin' Jack Flash," in which Jagger, 69, appears to have lost little of the athletic energy that's been his signature as the Stones' frontman since the beginning.

"Kaptinlin.com support [the question]"
We now have available the official update of Striking Regular (non-responsive framework) for all users - Striking Version 5.2.2. There is no update of the child theme. Striking 18.104.22.168 is WP 3.7.1 compatible.
As per usual, we have posted an announcement thread for the version release, detailing all the changes, how one should update, report errors, and more. The thread is posted under "All Discussions".
Nextgen continues to have issues and we have written to them with some suggestions on what they can do to rectify matters. See the Nextgen sticky thread for how to deal with matters in the interim.
Be advised that weekend forum support is limited to Saturday up to 3pm EST after which any questions posted, if not assisted by other users, would normally be dealt with on the following Monday.
We request all forum users review the posting and etiquette sticky thread "FORUM RULES FOR POSTING, COMMENTING, SUPPORT, ETC" found in the All Discussions category as we are seeing many posts that lack the appropriate content for assistance, and thus just end up wasting everyone's time.
Given the large size of our forum, we suggest using Google to search the forum for answers prior to posting for answers as most questions are repetitive. An example google search might be as such:
PLEASE -> if you have not given Striking a star rating at Themeforest, please log into your account, go to your downloads page, and give us a Star Rating - hopefully 5 stars! We have a goal to achieve the most 5 star ratings of any product in the Themeforest Marketplace. And with the changes in the rating system at Themeforest, every 5 star rating has a big impact upon us (and 4 star ratings and below are hugely detrimental - it takes twenty 5 star ratings to overcome one 4 star rating).
Right now, we have the 2nd most 5 star ratings in the marketplace, although we have the most per capita in the marketplace of any top selling theme. If even 10% of our users who have not yet rated us were to give us a 5 rating, we would be overjoyed. Please give this consideration on our behalf.
Since its release Oct 2010, Striking has had 50+ separate updates of NEW features, more than any other theme in the Themeforest marketplace. Striking is dedicated to keeping its users up to date with the Wordpress core, and the latest features available in the Wordpress theme world.
We have reports of Striking used without purchase of license. Very unfair since only $55 for huge premium theme with most features anywhere. If you have Striking on 3 sites, you must buy 3 license. If you have on 10 sites, you must buy 10 license. A license per use is legal requirement. So if you have 3 domains such as:
you need 3 licenses.
MULTISITE LICENSING: If you run a path based multisite setup then only one license is required, but if you are using WP multisite to run several discrete urls (usually done with domain mapping) each site requires its own license!
It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!

In my opinion Hotham is the best resort, but I can only speak for Vic resorts. Hotham has the steeper terrain and some good off piste when the snow is deep enough. Falls is a bit too gently sloped for my liking and not very challenging but it is a pretty setting. Buller is good too but the crowds often make it a frustrating place to go, even when you know how to avoid the worst lift queues.
Hotham and Falls do not get as busy as Buller because they are a longer drive from Melbourne. I stay in Bright to keep accommodation costs down and drive up to Hotham each day which only takes 45 minutes on a good day and an hour if its snowing. Another option is the bus from Bright. Bright is a good place to stay if you want to do Hotham one day and Falls the next as they are both equal distances away from Bright.

This is a collection of master pieces. Awesome, hilarious...but, in two to three stories, could not find the old, pure sense of humor. Otherwise, they were able to reduce my age to twenty years.
There are some bad things I must mention about this collection.
1. For almost eight stories, I found that the first page of them are same (not almost)!! Only the second part is different to only 2%, like, going to a restaurant changes to going to fast food center.
2. 1-2 stories are not at all drawn by Narayan Debnath.

I will take the ottawa senators. Are we talking Xbox 360? becuase if not then i am out...stupid PS3 ***
is this game better than 2k
last year i bought 2k and loved it...
ima do some research and get back to you
but if you can put me down for a maybe for Columbus
I forgot... I'll be the Hurricanes.
Put me down for the Red Wings but my participation is contingent on the schedule as well.
I picked up my copy tonight, so I'll check it out more to see how we can set this up right.
I think we should all be involved in setting this up which is why I wanted to give us all a month to play the game and weigh in their thoughts.
I would like to play as well if the schedule works.
If it does i'll be the Capitals
I like the new diggs
I'd love to try this out. The only thing I have to admit truthfully right now is that I don't know if I'll get Xbox Live *yet*. I just brought a 360 for this game, so I haven't used the 1 month free trial yet. But I'm sure I'll like it, since all the games these days have some kind of online feature to it.
But put me down for the Calgary Flames if you'd like... Hopefully this works out well!

While it seems like most of you are allergic to the "like" button, I just want to personally say thanks for looking anyway.
Rink Dawg
I finally checked out the online league info and it looks like we can have up to 32 teams and the league minimum of games played is 1 per team.
I wonder if we should cap the league at 16. Would a 16 game season, playing one game per week, be too much of a commitment for this group?

TEDX, The Endocrine Disruption Exchange in Paonia, is recognized for its focus on health and environmental problems caused by low-dose or ambient exposure to chemicals that interfere with human development and function.
Carol Kwiatkowski, TEDX executive director, recently spoke at the HEAL Annual General Assembly 2012 in Belgium on Sept. 14.
HEAL is an acronym for Health and Environment Alliance which is based in Brussels. HEAL is a non-profit exploring how the environment affects health in the European Union. They have over 70 member organizations in the alliance.
Kwiatkowski attended the conference to demonstrate the science behind endocrine disrupting chemicals. Specifically, she shared the science behind the TEDX tool, Critical Windows of Development. This research can be found on the TEDX website. The current tool TEDX has shown the effect of two plastics, a pesticide and a combustion by-product. The researchers and scientists at TEDX are now looking at the effects of chemicals used in non-stick pans and for water-proofing clothes.
About 50 professionals from the EU participated representing Action for Breast Cancer Foundation in Malta, Armenian Women for Health and Healthy Environment in Armenia, Cancer Prevention and Education Society from the United Kingdom, European Academy for Environmental Medicine in Germany, European Federation of Allergy and Airways Diseases Patients Association in Belgium, Infection Ecology and Epidemiology Network in Sweden, Clean Air Action Group from Hungary, International Network on Children's Health, Environment and Safety in the Netherlands, and others.
"It's informing those groups how important it is to look at environmental origins of disorders they are concerned with," Kwiatkowski stated. "What I was specifically presenting was this tool that we have to look at the impact of chemicals at various points in prenatal development."
Her two points from her talk were that just one chemical can affect multiple different systems throughout the body whether it's the brain, reproductive system, various endocrine organs or the immune system.
"That's one of out of hundreds and hundreds of endocrine disrupting chemicals we are exposed to on a regular basis," she said.
Her second point was that this is studied in just the first two months of pregnancy when a woman may not even realize she is pregnant. "It's real important for people to understand these as part of pre-pregnancy health."
TEDX is encouraging the various groups to collaborate and coordinate their efforts to push for policy change. "The same chemical that affects the metabolic system, which relates to diabetes and obesity, also affects breast cancer outcomes," she said.
Besides policy changes for governments, it is hoped that there will be more public information available.
Kwiatkowski said the attendees jumped from the science in her talk to how they could use the information in their work. "They were excited about moving forward in their organizations developing materials for policy and public information," Kwiatkowski said.

B-1B with laser
16 of 26 from A brief history of laser weapons (pictures)
In July 2011, Predator drone maker General Atomics won the contract from DARPA to build the Demonstrator Laser Weapon System (DLWS) for HELLADS. General Atomics says it is pursuing a "new approach to electric lasers" that joins "the high storage density of solid-state with the efficient heat removal of flowing liquids."
Following the ground testing of the DLWS in 2013, the laser demonstrator looks likely to be integrated onto a B-1B Lancer aircraft. (See DARPA's illustration of that above.)

Enemy Intelligence: New Orleans Saints
As I've seen some or all of something like nine games the Saints have played this year, my observations will be based on everything I've seen, not just last Sunday's game against Detroit. After the jump, my thoughts on the Saints.
- Drew Brees is the best quarterback the Titans have faced this season. No real surprise there. The kind of gameplan Ben Roethlisberger successfully executed for the Steelers in their win, I have a great deal of confidence Brees can successfully execute. Quick and accurate passes will find holes in the Titans' zone coverages, and he can make the kind of throws that beat man coverage as well. He doesn't have a gun like Roethlisberger, but he's still a good deep ball thrower.
- The Saints do an excellent job of surrounding Brees on offense with the right parts. Brees is really short for an NFL quarterback, but the offensive line is designed to minimize that issue. They're particularly strong at guard, as Carl Nicks and Jahri Evans are both among the best at their position, and Brian De La Puente is slotting in nicely at center. The tackles, Bushrod and Strief, are vulnerable to speed rushers (not that that's a strength of the Titans) and outside rushers in general, but Brees does an excellent job of stepping up in the pocket. To disrupt Brees, the Titans need to get interior pressure from their defensive tackles. Karl Klug, I'm looking at you in particular.
- Jimmy Graham gets a ton of publicity for what he's doing at tight end, and while he's not the in-line blocker that the Patriots' Rob Gronkowski is, he deserves every bit of it for his receiving skills. He's big, fast, and a matchup nightmare. Most teams have beem matching up with a defensive back when he's in the game. It'd be really nice to have Jason McCourty back for this game. The Saints will flex Graham outside. He will drop the occasional pass, though, and killed a couple drives in the loss to the Rams that way.
- Darren Sproles is in my mind an even worse matchup for the Titans than Graham, as he might create issues for Keith Bulluck in his prime and the Titans don't have a great athletic coverage linebacker. He doesn't run downfield routes like Marshall Faulk did for the Mike Martz Rams, but is instead a versatile chess piece for Sean Payton to move around. He's also not a liability running between the tackles like Reggie Bush was.
- Marques Colston functionally is a kind of guy who for most of his career did the kind of thing Nate Washington did when Kenny Britt was in the lineup: running what I think of as interior routes from more of a slot position. I think a big thing for the Titans' defensively this year has been moving Finnegan inside to the slot in nickel situations this year, and I actually like his ability to matchup against Colston.
- I've never been able to decide if either Devery Henderson or Robert Meachem is a really good player in his own right or a decent player who's in a very good situation. Both guys can burn you, especially deep, but the offense clearly goes through Graham, Colston, Lance Moore, and Sproles before it goes through them.
- Mark Ingram's turf toe may keep him out of this weekend's game, but the Saints are perfectly capable of having an effective running game with Sproles, Pierre Thomas, and Chris Ivory. Well, more Sproles and Thomas than Ivory, in my eyes.
- The defensive line has not really impressed me. They're vulnerable against the run and have trouble winning 1v1 in the pass rush. I used to be a big fan of DE Will Smith, but don't see him as more than a complementary rusher at best at this point in his career. The Saints are a below-average team at bringing down the quarterback (they're 23rd in Adjusted Sack Rate), and what pressure they get tends to be schemed.
- As blah as the defensive line is, the linebackers in particular are unimpressive. I used to think Jonathan Vilma was good, but he's looked awful at times this year against both the run and the pass. I've never thought too fondly of Scott Shanle. The strongside linebacker, Jo-Lonn Dunbar, is by far my favorite, and I kind of like him as an SLB against the run and in Williams' blitzes, but am not particularly fond of him in coverage. Counters toward Shanle is what I want to see.
- The weaknesses in the secondary are cornerback Patrick Robinson when he's in the game (Jabari Greer and Tracy Porter are the starters) and, especially, strong safety Roman Harper. In the Seahawks' playoff upset last year, Hasselbeck a number of times took advantage of Harper's alleged defensive responsibility, and I'd look for him to do the same thing this week.
Bottom line: the Saints are an elite and creative passing offense, a good run offense that works off the passing game, and a defense that when it's at its most effective is opportunistic rather than good. If Chris Johnson runs like he has the past two weeks, I think he could have another big day against the Saints, but it won't matter because the Titans' pass defense will be in smoking ruins. With the Titans playing at home, the line is probably something reasonable (apparently NO -3.5), but I see the Saints winning this game by double-digits.

A year after iTunes began offering music without copy protection software from EMI, Apple is in discussions with the other three top recording companies about acquiring DRM-free songs, according to two music industry sources.
The talks are still preliminary and no deals have been finalized, but one source said one of the major labels is close to a final agreement. Rumors have been swirling on the Internet for a week that Sony would soon be offering music without the controversial digital rights management software. My sources could not confirm this.
Spokespeople for Apple and the major labels declined to comment. … Read more
I used to be a huge fan of Windows desktop themes. Granted, this was over 10 years ago, when I knew little about computers and was ignorant of the amount of system resources themes consumed. I don't use them today, as I prefer to keep my system clean and optimized, but I still understand the appeal. Customizing your desktop with a new theme makes for a new experience.
The Skins Factory is trying to give its users a new experience when installing desktop themes. It has announced that its Windows desktop-theme software, Hyperdesk, is now DRM-free. According to the … Read more
Google has joined the OpenID crowd, but just like Microsoft and Yahoo, you can't use the OpenID on Google, but you can use Google credentials other places. Unlike Microsoft and Yahoo though, Google has decided to tweak the OpenID implementation a little to make it better. That means that it's nonstandard and won't work for all standards-compliant OpenID servers. Bullies. We also admire the new DRM-free music store from clothing retailer, Hot Topic. Really.

On a related topic, Blues News has wrapped up a few stories today regarding DRM-related installation issues with the PC versions of Far Cry 2 and Fallout 3.

I had to suppress a smirk last week when I saw a kinder, gentler DRM (digital rights management) rear its ugly head over on Slashdot. The open-source world has long hated DRM, but perhaps open-source DRM is somehow blessed?
Marlin, a new open-source DRM scheme, is alleged to be different, as noted in PC Pro:
The co-chairman of the Marlin Developer Community claims the open-source system is far less oppressive than those from rivals such as Apple and Microsoft, allowing users to share content between any Marlin-enabled device in the home rather than on specific machines. "It works in … Read more

Photo: Jessica Sain-Baird When talking about energy conservation, I hold this vision of rewinding our usage all the way back to the source: flicking a switch and traveling to the place where the energy is made. In over half the country, that primary source is a coal-fired plant. Coal plants are not only one of the greatest sources of the greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to climate change, they are also our largest source of mercury contamination and a major air pollutant.
Coal plants are always located near bodies of water. In my town, the coal plant—one of the dirtiest in the nation—is located right beside our primary source of drinking water—the Kansas River. I have no words for what it feels like to see the sludging pools where the coal plant cools its sediment and know that muck is going right back into my water. I care about becoming more energy efficient in order to reduce costs, but I care even more about efficiency as a means of reducing the amount of coal that gets burned—thereby keeping my air, soil and water clean and my loved ones and myself healthy. My mentor Hunter Lovins of Natural Capitalism Solutions calls efficiency our first renewable energy resource. She's right—and I should have been a lot more discriminating in the tips I rattled off about "going green." There are certain actions that have a significantly greater impact than others. I reasoned if folks embraced one tip, they'd jump on the bandwagon and embrace all the others. But that's not exactly how most of us are wired. We humans suffer from something psychologists call "single action bias," which basically means once we've done one thing, we're tempted to check an issue off our list and move on. Instead of asking you to rewire your brains (I'm saving that for my book), I want to share the areas where you can have the greatest impact. So if you are only doing one thing, you'll know how much of a difference it really makes. Researchers Gerald Gardner and Paul Stern have made this easy. Their incredible study, "The Short List: The Most Effective Actions U.S. Households Can Take to Curb Climate Change," details the impact our most common household items have on the environment. The single biggest energy hog within the home is the car, which accounts for almost 40 percent of the energy used in our lives. You can reduce the impact you have in this area by buying a more fuel-efficient vehicle, carpooling and making sure your ride is tuned up and running at its best. |

Ray Kroc was born in Oak Park, Illinois, on October 5, 1902. Kroc worked as a salesman for 17 years after World War I, before becoming involved with McDonald's in the 1950s. Kroc purchased the restaurant company in 1961, implementing automation and strict preparation standards that helped make McDonald's the world's largest restaurant franchise before his death in 1984, at the age of 81.
"I guess to be an entrepreneur you have to have a large ego, enormous pride and an ability to inspire others to follow your lead."
Early Life
Ray Albert Kroc was born to parents of Czech origin in Oak Park, Illinois, on October 5, 1902. Kroc participated in World War I as a Red Cross ambulance driver, lying about his age to begin serving at 15. During his training, Kroc met Walt Disney, with whom he would maintain a professional relationship for most of his life. Fellow Oak Park native Ernest Hemingway also spent his time in the war as an ambulance driver.
Following the armistice, Kroc explored a number of career options, including paper cup salesman, pianist and DJ on a local Oak Park radio station. He worked for room and board at a restaurant, hoping to learn the business. He first put his restaurant knowledge to use as a traveling milkshake machine salesman. The machines that Kroc sold made five shakes at a time, increasing restaurant efficiency. He remained in sales for 17 years.
It was in his role as a milkshake machine salesman that Kroc first became involved with McDonald's, a restaurant chain based in San Bernardino, California. The McDonald brothers were clients who had purchased multiple mixers. Grasping the franchising potential of McDonald's, Kroc offered to work as a franchising agent for a cut of the profits. Ultimately, Kroc's ambitions for the restaurants eclipsed those of the McDonald brothers. In 1955, Kroc became president of the McDonald's Corporation. He bought out the owners entirely six years later. In 1977, after leading McDonald's past archrival Burger King, Kroc reassigned himself to the role of senior chairman. He held this position until his death in 1984.
Under Kroc's ownership, McDonald's retained some of its original character while incorporating new elements. Kroc kept the assembly line approach to hamburger preparation that the McDonald brothers pioneered in the 1940s. Kroc's key contributions to the restaurant were automation, standardization and discipline. Franchise owners, carefully chosen for their ambition and drive, went through a training course at "Hamburger University" in Elk Grove, Illinois. There, they earned certificates in "hamburgerology with a minor in french fries." Kroc focused his efforts on growing suburban areas, capturing new markets with familiar food and low prices.
While some critics lambasted the nutritional content of McDonald's food and its treatment of teenage workers, the model that Kroc engineered proved extremely profitable. Kroc's strict guidelines regarding preparation, portion sizes, cooking methods and packaging ensured that McDonald's food would look and taste the same across franchises. These innovations contributed to the success of the McDonald's brand on a global scale.

Proposed Canon
A Prince of Jetstone who fought in the battle against the Ad Council alongside Artemis. Forthewin died at the Battle of Iceburg and was succeeded by Prince Ansom as heir to the crown of Jetstone.
He was known for his ability to command as well as to conquer, and also had legendary Luckamancy.
Given that King Slately seems to have liked making his heirs into Chief Warlords, it is likely that Prince Forthewin was the Chief Warlord of Jetstone that preceded Prince Ansom.
