Wrecks refer to beaters (run down versions of cars that still drive with less performance), or burnt out cars found around the maps of all the games.
Wrecks have been featured in certain forms beginning in Grand Theft Auto III, where scrapped cars and school buses of unknown origins are scattered in various junkyards; GTA III's scrapped vehicles are also featured in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, although such wrecks may also be sighted in a wider range of locations. The first known drivable vehicle to appear as a wrecked prop is the Walton in GTA San Andreas, where a rusting Walton is present in rural San Andreas. Grand Theft Auto IV would later see the vast majority of wrecks based on existing vehicles in the game. Some of the wrecks in these games can be seen piled up, with a plank leaning on them, forming the base of unique stunt jumps.
The GTA series has not traditionally featured working cars in dilapidated form until GTA San Andreas. Earlier signs of such vehicles are primarily present in GTA III's Hoods Rumpo XL and GTA Vice City's Gang Burrito (variants of the Rumpo and Burrito, respectively). Both vehicles, which are essentially variants of commercial vehicles, feature multicolored body panels and paint jobs, as well as graffiti on their sides, but they are both superior in performance over the vehicles they are based on.
GTA San Andreas was the first game to evidently feature standard cars in run down appearances. The Clover and Tampa appear with mismatched body paneling, the Tampa itself depicting a lopsided license plates. In addition, damaged variants of the Glendale and Sadler are scattered throughout rural San Andreas, with their body panels dented and irrepairable. GTA San Andreas' approach to the depiction of dilapidated vehicles was further refined in GTA IV, where up to four cars are designed with normal and dilapidated appearances.
This section links to all articles about cars that have beater versions. These cars are old and rusted, but still drivable, besides some performance issues. In San Andreas, these are actually separate vehicles to their usual counterparts in the game's code, explaining why they cannot be repaired or modified. The GTA IV beaters have lower performance, all seem to have very bad suspensions, and will scrape and throw sparks on bumps and turns with a little speed. GTA IV beaters can be repaired/repainted.

Authorities in Pueblo are hoping surveillance footage will help locate a suspect who robbed a neighborhood restaurant.
It happened Jan. 17 at 9:40 p.m. at Adolfo's Mexican Food on 2450 Santa Fe Dr.
Police say a man with a gun approached the counter and demanded money from the register. He got away with an unknown amount of cash. No one was injured.
Police investigated to see if this robbery was linked to robberies earlier in the day. The Pueblo County Sheriff's Office, which is investigating the most recent robbery, said it was not the same suspect.
The suspect in the Rodolfo's Mexican Grill robbery is described as 6 feet tall. He was wearing all black and a mask.
Anyone with information regarding this case is urged to call the Pueblo County Sheriff's Office at 719/583.6250 or Pueblo Crime Stoppers at 719/542-STOP (7867).

Sears Tower Glass Balconies
Take my word for it; this picture isn't worth a thousand words.
Nothing can translate the heart-pounding sensation of sitting 103 floors up from the ground with only an inch-and-a-half of glass separating you from a 1,353 foot plummet back to earth.
My sister and I make it look easy sitting there in the above shot, but this was actually our second venture out onto the deck.
The first time I literally crawled out on hands and knees, palms sweating and my heart pounding hard enough to drive a nail.
When the nerve to stand up finally arrived my body's adrenalin was pumping so hard my legs were shaking.
I know, you think I'm a wuss, but don't hate until you've been out there yourself!
Believe me, if you think watching Aaron Heilman pitch for the Cubs is nerve wracking, try taking the Willis leap of faith!

The former home of Spin Nightclub, 10 5th St. S., could reopen as new restaurant and bar The Pourhouse as soon as June 1. Co-owner Deepak Nath would like people to know one important thing right away about the new concept.
"This is absolutely nothing like Spin," he said.
While The Pourhouse will host live events and entertainment with a cover charge, he stresses that it is a restaurant and bar, not a club. Unlike Spin, The Pourhouse will feature a full kitchen and be open for lunch and happy hour. The restaurant will be decorated in a 1920s prohibition style and boast a few unique features. Along with a 100-person outdoor area, the restaurant will feature jail cell-style restrooms and an upstairs area called "The Hooch Room." The biggest attraction, literally, will be its massive 24-foot television screen.
The Pourhouse co-owner Deepak Nath is a project manager for Nath Companies and has a long history in the restaurant industry. Nath Companies owns the Axel's restaurant chain, and Deepak Nath has owns or has owned nightclubs Fahrenheit, Envy and Bootleggers. His partners operate the Maple Tavern in Maple Grove.

Have you noticed a sticky substance on the floor beneath your ficus or philodendron? Are there little scabs on the underside of the leaves of your orchid? Maybe you have noticed that your plants just look a little lackluster. Well, we can blame some plant puniness on being a tropical houseplant indoors in Kentuckiana during the winter.
One of the largest energy-using appliances in a household is the refrigerator. Appliances are designed to save time and money, but if an appliance is not energy efficient or is operated improperly, it could be wasting money.
Ensuring that you have an Energy Star-approved appliance is one solution; others are proper operation, location, and maintenance.
Following a few basic tips can reduce your refrigerator's impact on your energy bills. For example, keep the refrigerator out of direct sunlight to reduce the energy it needs to keep the contents cool.
Crop insurance is a popular risk-management tool with farmers and agricultural policy makers.

Everyone is potentially at risk during winter storms. Most fatalities are indirectly related to the storm. People die from traffic accidents on icy roads, heart attacks while shoveling snow, and hypothermia from prolonged exposure to cold and unsafe residential conditions.
According to Owen County EM Director Rick Morgan, you should be prepared for winter weather by listening to NOAA weather radio or commercial radio/television to stay informed about winter storm watches, warnings and advisories.
Winter has come early this year. We had 4 inches of snow on the Branch this weekend. The DirecTV dish was covered with snow and I had no service on the TV sets except the antenna for most of the day Saturday. The Internet service went out, too, so I had to communicate the old-fashioned way, via phone for about 24 hours.
I was decorating the house all week for Christmas and trying to finish Saturday, so I really didn't miss it much.
I realize I'm a little late with this news but wanted to share some things with you all.
Thanksgiving has come and gone. I'm very thankful for a lot of things – my health and family first off – but also for all the wonderful things God has provided for me and my family through the years.
However, this year was a little tough on us all with it being our first Thanksgiving without Mom. We sure did miss her. I now know what she went through each and every holiday without her parents.
As they marched their way down JFK Boulevard and 20th Street at the United States' oldest Thanksgiving Day parade, two Owen County cheerleaders were surrounded by hundreds of adoring young girls.
Veronica Chisholm and Hannah Runion traveled to Philadelphia, Nov. 23 to perform with 250 other cheerleaders in the 92nd Philadelphia Thanksgiving Day Parade.
The two tried out for the event this past summer at UCA Cheerleading camp.
Chisholm said the two tried out as part of a squad and each were judged on one routine, one cheer and one jump.

The top of its body is connected to the lower half by a tiny waist, giving it an hourglass-shaped figure. It has a red spiky growth around its neck and a long white mane flows from its head, obscuring one of its blue eyes. Its thin arms have three claws each, with three spiky protrusions above each elbow. Its shoulders also have long tatters and it appears to be wearing an old ripped cloak or dress. It is able to extend stilt-like extensions to use as "legs". Darkai resembles a ghost or a haunted spirit. It's appearance suits its ability to give people nightmares.
In the Anime
Darkrai first appeared in the Pokémon movie The Rise of Darkrai. It was seen protecting Alice, whose grandmother Alicia had been kind to it in the past. It then intervened in the cosmic conflict between Dialga and Palkia. It also makes a cameo appearance in the end credits for Arceus and the Jewel of Life, along with Shaymin.
Darkrai next appeared in "Sleepless in Pre-Battle", which was its anime debut. It caused nightmares, much like it can in the games. It was concealing itself when Cresselia used its abilities to reveal it from the darkness. The two then battled and Darkrai hid itself once more in the shadows. In its debut movie "The Rise of Darkrai" Darkrai usually hovers above the ground, but it can sprout long thin legs with which it can walk around like a person.
Another Darkrai appeared under the ownership of a trainer who competed in the Sinnoh League named Tobias in DP episode 183.
Darkrai does not evolve.
Game Info
Darkrai first appeared in the Generation IV games Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. To obtain it, a player would have had to receive a Mystery Gift during a special promotion. It is also obtainable by using a cheat device to either receive the Mystery Gift or walk to the island it is located on.
In Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia, Darkrai featured in a special mission named "Liberate the Tower". You find it where Darkrai helped you before. However, this time it helps you, and uses it's ability, Dark Power, to fend off Team Dim Sun. However, the mission is no longer available for download. It was possible to send Darkrai to Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum.
In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time & Explorers of Darkness, Darkrai is the main antagonist of those games. It is found out that Darkrai was the reason that the Hero was turned into a Pokémon and lost his or her memory when he or she had gone back in time with Grovyle to stop the tower of time from breaking and causing Dialga to turn into Primal Dialga. After the final battle against Darkrai, he attempts to escape in a time portal, when Palkia, who is angered that Darkrai used him, shows up and destroys the time portal as Darkrai is halfway through it, he sustains a lot of damage he loses his memory and gets banished to an unknown place (which is ironic seeing how he was the reason that the hero lost his or her memory.)

In the Pokémon TCG
- There is a box set available that includes a deck, booster pack, a Darkrai card, and an oversized version of the Darkrai card. Card Text: It can lull people to sleep and make them dream.
- There was also a Japanese card with Darkrai- Darkrai G. It was a DPt-P Promo. It had the Poke-BODY Eerie Aura, and Attack Dark Sleep.
- Darkrai is the only Generation IV legendary Pokémon able to learn Nightmare.
- Darkrai is the only Dark-type legendary Pokémon.
- Darkrai is the only pure Dark-type Pokémon of Generation IV.
- Darkrai is one of only nine pure Dark types. The others are Umbreon, Poochyena, Mightyena and Absol, Liepard, Purrloin, Zorua, and Zoroark
- Despite having a ghost image, it is not part Ghost-type which is rather odd. However, this isn't the only instance of strange classifications.
- Despite Darkrai looking like a male and has lots of male characteristics, its gender is unknown, even though its counterpart Cresselia is female.
- Darkrai is actually the counterpart of Cresselia as it produces nightmares whereas Cresselia cures them. It is a Dark-Type in contrast to Cresselia who is Psychic. Also, their islands are opposites of each other, and look like it can come together.
- Darkrai is based on a being of darkness. Each one in the anime so far (Except for The rise of Darkrai one) have incredibly dark natures and can almost be considered evil. However, Darkrai is truly not evil and actually means no harm (as revealed by a mysterious voice after defeating or capturing it on Newmoon Island), as like Lugia, it cannot control its power. Any organic being that goes near it will suffer horrendous nightmares, whether or not Darkrai wills it. Because of this, he chooses to seclude himself on Newmoon Island, similar to how Lugia chose to seclude himself deep in the Whirl Islands/Navel Rock, in order to protect people from its power. However, his power seems to leak into Canalave City due to its close proximity to it.
- Darkrai is the final boss in Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia (although the Colossal Pokémon Regigigas is fought when all other Pokémon have been caught at least once, however this is not technically considered a final boss).
- Darkrai plays the main antagonist in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series. After causing the heroes amnesia and transformation of the main hero, in the passage of time, it took control of Dialga. Dialga then only concerned itself with survival, hence the becoming of Primal Dialga. After being foiled, it attempted to trick the world into thinking the hero and partner were responsible for a spatial distortion, which is why Palkia attacked the Hero and his/her partner in Azurill's Dream, nightmares and even tried to attack them in a monster-house style final boss.
- Even though he tried to take over the world and destroy time & space, when recruited, he will act very loyal and kind.
- Depsite being a legendary Pokémon, there's one in the Rise Of Darkrai and Tobias owns one.
- Darkrai's eyes are similar to the Dawn Stone as it mentions in the description "It sparkles like eyes."
- Darkrai can sprout feet, although this is considered to be a separate form.
- It somewhat resembles Dementors from the Harry Potter series.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (WUSA) - Cesar Naveda knows a thing or two about getting elbows deep into gunk.
And he'll be the first to remind you that working as a plumber the day after Thanksgiving is a dirty job, but, as he says, "Somebody's got to do it. As long as you pay me, I'll do it. It doesn't matter to me."
"Green bean casserole, sweet potatoes, mash, they just jumble it in and the garbage disposal clumpsit in and that's what happens every single time," Naveda said.
"Everything, once it gets into your drains, it turns into this mush. It's just a black funky mush, and it kind of smells like a perm, if you've ever smelled that before," he said.
"It gets on you and it gets in your nose so all day long no matter what you smell," he added.
Interestingly enough, plumbers say that every time they get the call, it almost always has something to do with in-laws.
"A lot of mother in laws is what I'm told. Father in laws, they stick a lot of stuff down the garbage disposal," Naveda said.
And the cost to fix the problem isn't cheap. It starts off at about $90 and goes up from there. So think about that the next time you finish your Thanksgiving meal and run off to the stores. What's that called again?
Naveda knows. "It's Black Friday. I don't know what it means to other people, but I know what it means to me."

Video: Lightning Strikes Control Tower At BWI Marshall Airport
Video: Lightning Hits BWI Control Tower, Snarls Air Traffic
Video: BWI reopens but what about safety?
Video: BWI back up and running after lightning strike
BALTIMORE, Md. (WUSA9) -- Air traffic is finally getting back to normal at Baltimore-Washington Airport. There was a lightning strike there Thursday. It hit the control tower and injured a person.
The last time we checked BWI Marshall's board, there were very few delays or cancellations. Airport officials say you should still call ahead to make sure your flight isn't delayed.
If you're coming to the airport, then expect long lines. People who were stranded at the airport on Thursday are likely trying to rebook flights to their destinations Friday.
The base of the tower that was struck was built in the 1950's. The control room was rebuilt, we're told, in 1983. The Baltimore Sun spoke to the president of the air traffic controllers union. He says this was a first time this has happened in his 30 year career.
The strike shut down BWI for three hours causing cancellations and massive confusion. We spoke to passengers in the crowded terminal Thursday. One person told us, "It was total chaos. When you asked a question, nobody knew anything."
Another person shared, "Southwest Airlines just said a lot of rain. I didn't know anything about a lightning bolt. The Southwest line was wrapped around this place. I thought it was a security issue but clearly there aren't that many flights going out."
We also are learning much more about the employee who was injured. We're told the employee was released from the hospital and is recovering. According to The Baltimore Sun, the employee was inside the control room, tried flipping a switch to turn the generator on and that's when that employee was shocked, fell to his knees, and his left arm and left leg went numb.

All Greek to Me
I saw this beautiful picture (originally from the Santorini Island website) while perusing Pinterest the other day and it practically jumped off the screen and into my lap. The blues, the whites, the textures, the water. the crisp colors against the rough cliff line…all of it felt refreshing and dreamy. So of course, I had to go search for some other Greek inspiration that was sure to be out there. Come along with me on a little Greek inspiration adventure…
Our first stop isn't that far…yup, our very own FLOR has this gorgeous Lattice pattern tile option reminiscent of the Greek Key pattern so prevalent in current design.
Next stop, this gorgeous interior found in one of the suites at the Perivolas Luxury Hotel in Santorini, Greece. This is a perfect example of Greek design…white textured walls, domed ceilings, wood or teak natural elements and a deep-hued accent color. Stunning!
Coming in a bit closer to home are these beautiful Water Hyacinth Floor Cushions available at Toast.
On my Greek inspiration journey, I also happened upon this amazing Greek Key trim and Flower Corner block in Melissa, from Design Track Mind's home.
I also spotted these beautiful linens at Toast - paired with the minimalist floor, side table, bed and wall the pop of midnight blue is decidedly Greek.
Jules at The Diversion Project spotted this gorgeous door and posted it on her blog (original source not noted).
And for the really accessible, West Elm has this gorgeous bed spread available in just the right deep blue to add a bit of Greek inspiration to any room.
Of course, if you're looking for something a bit less subtle, you could always go full on Greek inspiration like in this gorgeous space. The deep blues and crisp whites along with the Greek Key pattern on the bed, the gilded grape leaf mirror and the drapes along the poster bed frame are all so perfectly chosen for this space. (Found at Interiorly, original source not noted)
Have you been inspired by Greek design lately?

(a) Statement of purpose; sales or exchanges: terms and conditions
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, any tribe, acting through its governing body, is authorized, with the approval of the Secretary to adopt a land consolidation plan providing for the sale or exchange of any tribal lands or interest in lands for the purpose of eliminating undivided fractional interests in Indian trust or restricted lands or consolidating its tribal landholdings: Provided, That—
(1) except as provided by subsection (c) of this section, the sale price or exchange value received by the tribe for land or interests in land covered by this section shall be no less than within 10 per centum of the fair market value as determined by the Secretary;
(2) if the tribal land involved in an exchange is of greater or lesser value than the land for which it is being exchanged, the tribe may accept or give cash in such exchange in order to equalize the values of the property exchanged;
(3) any proceeds from the sale of land or interests in land or proceeds received by the tribe to equalize an exchange made pursuant to this section shall be used exclusively for the purchase of other land or interests in land;
(4) the Secretary shall maintain a separate trust account for each tribe selling or exchanging land pursuant to this section consisting of the proceeds of the land sales and exchanges and shall release such funds only for the purpose of buying lands under this section; and
(b) Conveyancing requirement; specific findings for nonexecution
The Secretary must execute such instrument of conveyance needed to effectuate a sale or exchange of tribal lands made pursuant to an approved tribal land consolidation plan unless he makes a specific finding that such sale or exchange is not in the best interest of the tribe or is not in compliance with the tribal land consolidation plan.

Some dogs seem oblivious to music, while others feel compelled to join in, singing harmony. This dog in the Ukraine clearly enjoyed accompanying a street musician as he played his clarinet. The dog's presence delighted those passing by, likely increasing the donations received by the musician.
One of my dogs asked to go outside whenever I started playing piano. The others would curl up nearby and wait for the concert to end. Everyone's a critic!

Was this review helpful?
Comments On Sep 19, 2014:I tried this tool in the shop and decided I wanted one at home, too.
It definitely isn't for everybody, as it's one tool that does many jobs depending on how certain pieces are placed. This definitely leads to a bit of fumbling with the small 'block' you need to move each time you want to change the function of the tool.
On the other hand, if you're looking for a single tool that is more stout than most and capable of handling just about any chain-related work this is an excellent deal.
I would also put it into the "nice tool to leave at home" category, what with the 3 or 4 small but critical parts that don't actually attach to the tool (just loosely sit in it)...

Comments On May 09, 2014:Once I figured it out I realized how well thought out the tool is. I am a mechanic and appreciate time saving tools. The best chain break/ installer I have owned. Just pre-grind the pin or drive it flush with a hammer first so as not to overwork the break pin. Makes installing the master link on o-ring chains much easier.

The reading specialist who questioned the literacy level of athletes who were admitted to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill says she's resigning at the end of the semester.
Mary Willingham said in an email to The Associated Press on Monday night that she met with Chancellor Carol Folt earlier in the day.
Willingham says in the email that she and Folt "clearly have different ideas and opinions."
Willingham told CNN in January that her research of 183 football or basketball players from 2004-12 found 60 percent reading at fourth- to eighth-grade levels and roughly 10 percent below a third-grade level.
Three outside experts hired by UNC issued reports earlier this month saying Willingham's research data doesn't support her claims.

You might remember this, from the British sitcom Fawlty Towers. Inspector, in a huff: "Refrigerator seals loose and cracked! Ice box undefrosted, and refrigerator overstocked!" Innkeeper: "Say no more." It's the classic, comedic stereotype of a white-gloved health inspector making life miserable for struggling innkeepers. But with one in six Americans falling ill to potentially deadly food borne illness each year, state health inspectors aren't joking around. In Maine, thousands of kitchen inspections must be conducted by a relatively small crew of state-certified inspectors, who say their role is not to upbraid kitchen staff, but to educate. Jennifer Mitchell recently joined one food inspector on a surprise visit to a busy kitchen in western Maine to see what really goes on behind those swinging doors.
Maine restaurant inspector Laurie Davis peers at a slicing machine in a Maine restaurant during a recent visit.
There's no doubt about it: It's a bit disconcerting when a state health inspector shows up in the middle of a busy lunch rush. The dining room is packed; there's a convention assembling in the banquet room.
It might be the worst time to have a health inspector prowling the premises. But, says inspector Laurie Davis, gone are the days when the tools of the trade were just a clipboard and a frown.
"We are there to work with the food establishment," she says. "We are there to keep Maine's restaurants and all sorts of other facilities as safe as possible, and to help them do that - and to have a profitable business."
To put things into perspective, Mainers will consume hundreds of thousands of meals this year at the state's nearly 8,000 eateries, from hotel dining rooms in Portland, to Downeast clam shacks, to Amish bakeries in Aroostook County. More than 17 million hot lunches will be eaten in school cafeterias. And thousands more will munch blooming onions and doughboys from 400-plus fairground booths.
All of these dining spots have one thing in common: They're all inspected by the same 15 state-certified health inspectors, at least every other year. Davis herself travels over 10,000 miles each year, and inspects everything from the chop suey and canned corn served in the middle school cafeteria, to the prime roasts at the state's top ski resorts.
She starts her inspections at the hand sink. "They've got soap, they've got paper towels," she notes.
So far, the restaurant is doing fine. But Davis is just getting started.
"I'm just going to walk around," she says, "and look at everything."
"Everything" includes the dishwasher, floor, mops, and all the refrigeration units full of prepped vegetables and pans of pulled pork - and other things.
Laurie Davis: "Excuse me - can I just ask a quick question? What is this right here?"
Kitchen Voice: "Those are - it's like - maple wood?"
Laurie Davis: "That's maple wood?"
Kitchen Voice: "It comes with the salmon when - I think that is - I...it might be labeled on the other side."
Laurie Davis: "On the other side?"
Kitchen Voice: "Should be."
It should be, but it isn't. Davis makes a note of that, then moves behind the line, where the heat from the grill is fierce. She sterlizes a pointy silver temperature probe.
"Just poke it right in there, into that shrimp," she says. "And we're looking for a temperature that's 41 or below. And we are right at 41 degrees there."
Forty-one degrees is the upper target temperature at which a kitchen can safely hold chilled items; higher than that, and bacteria can rapidly multiply. The shrimp are fine. But then, after carefully sterilizing the probe again, she pokes it into a sliced tomato. "We're at 65 degrees on these," she notes. "I'll have to ask some questions about that."
The warm tomato slice is a critical violation. The restaurant also gets a second critical violation for old grunge on the meat slicer. These sorts of things could get someone sick, says Davis, and should be corrected right away - which the kitchen manager does.
Then Davis watches as a batch of chicken, which was not cooked to at least 165 degrees, is discarded. And she also points out that several coolers don't have thermometers in them.
The inspection is very thorough. Davis tests the PH level in the sterilization buckets. She looks at people's hands to see if they're wearing rings, which can harbor bacteria. She checks to see that hair is covered and that gloves are being worn. The restaurant gets a passing grade on all of these points. She even checks to see if the beverages being sipped by kitchen staff have lids on them.
Some of the details may seem a bit nitpicky, but the kitchen manager says she welcomes the scrutiny, "because I have 800 things on my plate so that it's, you know, we're slipping a little on this," she says. "And it keeps me on course and so forth, and I welcome her. You know, it's a good thing to have."
Despite a few black marks, the kitchen passes inspection. A restaurant can have up to three critical violations and still pass. In this case, all the major problems Davis found were corrected on the spot. While Davis says she does believe that the state's statistics on food borne illness under-represent the problem, she says she is confident that Maine's professional kitchens are among the safest in the world.
"I don't think anybody should be afraid to go out and eat in a Maine restaurant," she says. "I really don't."

Comments about Stansport Picnic Table and Umbrella:
I immediately opened the package & set the table up. It does not appear there was any inspection prior to sending it to me. There was a crack in the top of the table, the sides where you insert the pegs for extra stability were all messed up and therefore the pegs do not stay inserted. Whatever material used to solder the aluminum rusts at minimal dampness. My 100 pounds cracked the plastic seat. My friends who weigh more refuse to sit at it. When open the center of the stable is the only sturdy part, if you fold your arms on the table like me... Do not lean! The umbrella is paper thin and does nothing to shade. So basically I bought a table with seating for four and only I can sit at in the shade & pray I do not crack it more, pretty useless but I am just going to deal with it. The American Dollar is not what it used to be. People no longer have compassion to how hard it was to make the money & chose what best to spend it on, as a single Mom of two babies (one with special needs). I do not have a car, so could not return it even if I wanted to. The purpose of this purchase was to have seating for me, my girls, & one guest, that I can take down so the girls will not harm themselves on it when I turn my back. It is too flimsy for me to let them on it and they are 30 & 20 pounds. I will eventually build my own.

What to do if Vim's menu bar disappears due to a bug in GNOME, so that gvim cannot display its menu?
Changing guioptions
The standard method for displaying or hiding the menu bar is to use these commands in gvim:
:set guioptions+=menable (display) menu bar
:set guioptions-=mdisable (hide) menu bar
If you are using Gnome/Metacity, a problem may prevent the menu bar from being displayed: Gnome tries to dock the menu in a place where you cannot see it. A test to see if this is the issue is to open gvim as root (with
sudo gvim), then see if the menu can be enabled and disabled using the above commands.
Open a terminal and enter the command:
rm ~/.gnome2/Vim
rm ~/.gnome/Vim
That is, delete the file under your home directory where Gnome keeps its settings for Vim. It will be recreated when you run gvim again. With luck, the menu will be displayed again.
- Deleting the file
~/.gnome2/Vimworked, but the problem recurs. Examining this file shows that the problem is that the toolbar and the menubar are overlayed:
[Placement] Dock=Toolbar\\0,0,0,0\\Menubar\\0,0,0,0
Change this to:
[Placement] Dock=Toolbar\\0,1,0,0\\Menubar\\0,0,0,0
This solves the problem. The question however remains, namely how does this file get repeatedly corrupted in the first place. --December 29, 2011
- If deleting
~/.gnome2/Vimdoes not work, check the
.vimrcfile permission to make sure the current user can read it. If GVim is installed by root, or the .vimrc file is copied from a flash key, its permission may prevent other users from reading it when starting GVim. When that happens all custom settings in .vimrc, including the menu, do not apply, causing the menu not to be shown. --Oct 2013
On Ubuntu
- The disappearance of the menu bar in GVim is not a bug in GNOME; it's deliberate on the contrary, and a clever idea from the developers of the Unity project. The goal is one of optimization : it minimize the footprint on the desktop and maximize the editable surface of the windows opened in GVim. The left part of the global menus bar in Unity hold the "Application Indicators" and act as the GVim's menu bar for the ever sole active window, instead of being needlessly repeated for all the windows.
- For the one who prefer not using the mouse, the
<F10>key unroll the leftmost menu of the active window of GVim. Navigation is done within a menu with the up and down arrows, and from a menu to the other with the left and right arrows. Selection is done by pressing the
<Enter>key, and escape by pressing
<Esc>. It worth noting the keyboard shortcuts hints appearing to the right (left for bidirectional languages) of the entries in the menus, which hints are hidden in the Unity global menus.
- The head titles of the GVim's menus being
wINDDOWS and
hELP, it yields the mnemonic "fetsbwh" which in turn ease access to any specific menu by pressing keys
<Alt f>for the File menu,
<Alt e>for the Edit menu, and so on up to the Help menu
<Alt h>. Navigation, selection and escape are as usual.
- For the one who stick to the GVim's menu bar being attached to the window, start GVim with the terminal command :
$ UBUNTU_MENUPROXY="" gvimThe variable is usually set to "libappmenu.so" (in /usr/lib/indicators3/7/). Clearing it launch GVim without using Unity global menus. -- Jan 2014

PipeSounds sets silent film to music
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Say "Ben-Hur" and you're likely to conjure the 1959 version starring Charlton Heston. There was an earlier silent film version released in 1925, though: "Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ." Starring Ramon Novarro, it was a blockbuster about the conflict between a charioteer and his boyhood friend who becomes a corrupt Roman tribune.
Acclaimed organist Scott Foppiano will perform music for that film in a PipeSounds screening at 7 p.m. Friday at Forrest Burdette United Methodist Church, 2848 Putnam Ave., Hurricane. Foppiano has played and recorded on some of the greatest classical and theatre pipe organs in the United States, Canada and Europe. He has four CDs of solo organ music.
A reception follows the performance. Admission is $10 for adults, $5 for students and free for ages 5 and under. Visit www.pipesounds.org or call 304-562-5903.
