NetworkManager is a program for providing detection and configuration for systems to automatically connect to network. NetworkManager's functionality can be useful for both wireless and wired networks. For wireless networks, NetworkManager prefers known wireless networks and has the ability to switch to the most reliable network. NetworkManager-aware applications can switch from online and offline mode. NetworkManager also prefers wired connections over wireless ones, has support for modem connections and certain types of VPN. NetworkManager was originally developed by RedHat and now is hosted by the GNOME project.

Base install
NetworkManager is available in the
[extra] repository:
# pacman -S networkmanager
Graphical Front-ends
To configure and have easy access to NetworkManager most people will want to install an applet. This GUI front-end usually resides in the system tray (or notification area) and allows network selection and configuration of NetworkManager. Various applets exist for different types of desktops.
GNOME's applet (formerly gnome-network-manager) is lightweight enough and works across all environments:
# pacman -S network-manager-applet
If you want to store authentication details (Wireless/DSL) and enable global connection settings, i.e "available to all users":
# pacman -S gnome-keyring
The KNetworkManager front-end has been made available in KDE version 4.4 as a plasma widget:
# pacman -S kdeplasma-applets-networkmanagement
The GNOME counterpart works just as nicely, or even better (has more features and detects more hardware).
If you have both KNetworkManager and nm-applet installed and do not want to start nm-applet when using KDE, add the following line to /etc/xdg/autostart/nm-applet.desktop.
Though no longer supported, knetworkmanagerAUR is in the AUR. Package name:
The GNOME applet with the xfce4-notifyd notification daemon works well:
# pacman -S network-manager-applet xfce4-notifyd hicolor-icon-theme gnome-icon-theme
If you want to store authentication details (Wireless/DSL):
# pacman -S gnome-keyring
To prevent nm-applet dbus errors, edit ~/.xinitrc and change "exec openbox-session" to "exec ck-launch-session openbox-session".
To have Openbox's autostart start nm-applet properly, you may need to delete the file /etc/xdg/autostart/nm-applet.desktop (You may need to delete this file again after every update to network-manager-applet)
Then in autostart, start nm-applet with this line:
(sleep 3 && /usr/bin/nm-applet --sm-disable) &
Other Desktops and Window Managers
It is recommended to use the GNOME applet. You'll also need to be sure that the GNOME hicolor theme is installed to be able to display the applet:
# pacman -S hicolor-icon-theme gnome-icon-theme
In order to run nm-applet without a systray, you can use trayer or stalonetray. For example, you can add a "nmgui" script like this one in your path :
#!/bin/sh nm-applet > /dev/null 2>/dev/null & stalonetray > /dev/null 2>/dev/null killall nm-applet
When you close the stalonetray window, it closes nm-applet too, so no extra memory is used once you're done with network settings.
Command line
The networkmanager package since version 0.8.1 contains nmcli
NetworkManager will require some additional steps to be able run properly.
Verify that your
/etc/hosts is correct before continuing. If you previously tried to connect before doing this step, NetworkManager may have altered it. An example hostname line in
#<ip-address> <hostname.domain.org> <hostname> 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost dell-latitude
Disable current network setup
You'll want to disable your current network setup to be able to properly test NetworkManager. First (if using the Arch Linux network scripts) stop the network:
/etc/rc.d/network stop
Bring down your NIC's (Network Interface Controllers, i.e. network cards). For example (using the iproute2 package):
ip link set down eth0 ip link set down wlan0
/etc/rc.conf and where you defined DHCP or a static IP address, comment them out:
#eth0="dhcp" #wlan0="dhcp" INTERFACES=(!eth0 !wlan0)
Edit daemons
You must remove the default network daemon and add the networkmanager daemon, after the dbus daemon:
DAEMONS=( ...dbus networkmanager... )
Be sure that the package dbus is installed as NetworkManager will require it. To start other services (daemons) that require a network connection see the next section on how to set them up. Though the NetworkManager daemon has been started here, it will not (by default) connect onto a network until an applet is loaded and the applet specifies to do so. This means that networking services will need to be specified to NetworkManager on when to run.
Set up PolicyKit permissions
In the default setup, non-root users are not allowed to add network connections. They will see errors similar to this:
** (nm-applet:780): WARNING **: Failed to add new connection: (32) Insufficient privileges.
- /etc/rc.d/networkmanager start
To be able to add a network connection, a non-root user must first have an active ConsoleKit session running.
Additionally, the user must either (1) run a PolicyKit authentication agent, such as the one provided by polkit-gnome, or (2) be in a group explicitly granted permissions by the system administrator.
- gpasswd -a youruser wheel.
Network Services with NetworkManager Dispatcher
There are quite a few network services that you will not want running until NetworkManager brings up an interface. Good examples are openntpd and network filesystem mounts of various types (e.g. netfs). NetworkManager has the ability to start these services when you connect to a network (interface up), and stop them when you are no longer using them (interface down).
To use this feature, scripts can be added to the
/etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d directory. These scripts will need to have executable, user permissions. For security, it's good practice to make them owned by root:root and writable only by the owner.
The scripts will be run in alphabetical order at connection time (with arguments interface up), and in reverse alphabetical order at disconnect time (interface down). To ensure what order they come up in, it is common to use numerical characters prior to the name of the script (e.g.
10_portmap or
30_netfs (which ensures that the portmapper is up before NFS mounts are attempted).
The following starts openntpd when an interface is brought up. Save the file as
/etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/20_openntpd and make it executable.
#!/bin/sh INTERFACE=$1 # The interface which is brought up or down STATUS=$2 # The new state of the interface case "$STATUS" in 'up') # $INTERFACE is up exec /etc/rc.d/openntpd start ;; 'down') # $INTERFACE is down # Check for active interface and down if no one active if [ ! `nm-tool|grep State|cut -f2 -d' '` = "connected" ]; then exec /etc/rc.d/openntpd stop fi ;; esac
Use dispatcher to connect to a vpn after a network-connection is established
In this example we want to connect automatically to a vpn-connection we defined previously with NetworkManager. First thing to to is to create the dispatcher-script that defines what to do after we connected to the network.
1. Create the dispatcher script in
case "$2" in up) sudo -u username DISPLAY=:0 /usr/bin/python /etc/NetworkManager/vpn-up.py ;; esac
Remember to make it executable with chmod +x and change username to the right one.
2. Create the
/etc/NetworkManager/vpn-up.py and change network-ESSID to the desired one. You'll find the code hereTemplate:Linkrot.
Now NetworkManager should try to connect to your vpn which you had defined in your profile.
More recent versions of NetworkManager have seen a change in the python interface used in the above script, so it may no longer function. An alternative solution, however, can be found in clever use of nmcli.
#! /bin/bash REQUIRED_CONNECTION_NAME="" VPN_CONNECTION_NAME="" activ_con=$(nmcli con status | grep "${REQUIRED_CONNECTION_NAME}") activ_vpn=$(nmcli con status | grep "${VPN_CONNECTION_NAME}") if [ "${activ_con}" -a ! "${activ_vpn}" ]; then nmcli con up id "${VPN_CONNECTION_NAME}" fi
Proxy settings
Network Manager does not directly handle proxy settings, but if you are using GNOME, you could use proxydriver wich handles proxy settings using Network Manager's informations. Package proxydriverAUR is in the AUR.
In order for proxydriver to be able to change the proxy settings, you would need to execute this command, as part of the GNOME startup process ( System->Preferences->Startup Applications):
xhost +si:localuser:your_username
See: Proxy settings
NetworkManager applets are designed to load upon login so no further configuration should be necessary for most users. If you have already disabled your previous network settings and disconnected from your network, you can now test if NetworkManager will work. First start the daemon:
/etc/rc.d/networkmanager start
Some applets will provide you with a .desktop file so that the NetworkManager applet can be loaded through the application menu. If it doesn't, you're going to either have to discover the command to use or logout and login again to start the applet. Once the applet is started, it will likely begin polling network connections with for auto-configuration with a DHCP server.
To start the GNOME applet in non-xdg-compliant Window Managers like Awesome:
nm-applet --sm-disable &
For static IPs you will have to configure NetworkManager to understand them. The process usually involves right-clicking the applet and selecting something like 'Edit Connections'.
Some fixes to common problems.
Permission problems
Make sure consolekit is installed and use
exec ck-launch-session wm
instead of
exec wm
~/.xinitrc. Most Display Managers will take care of consolekit automatically, but if you use SLiM, follow SLiM#PolicyKit. This sometimes may still not be enough. You may have to manually start polkit-gnome/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 for network manger to work.
Network Management Disabled
Sometimes when NM shuts down the pid (state) file does not get removed and you will get a 'Network management disabled' message. If this happens, you'l have to remove it manually:
rm /var/lib/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.state
If this happens upon reboot, you can add an action to your
etc/rc.local to have it removed upon bootup:
nmpid=/var/lib/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.state [ -f $nmpid ] && rm $nmpid
NetworkManager prevents DHCPCD from using resolv.conf.head and resolv.conf.tail
Sometimes it's problematic to add static items to resolv.conf when it's constantly rewritten by nm and dhcpcd. You can use networkmanager-dhclient package from AUR but a better solution is to use this simple script:
#!/bin/bash # # /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/99-resolv.conf-head_and_tail # Include /etc/resolv.conf.head and /etc/resolv.conf.tail to /etc/resolv.conf # # scripts in the /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/ directory # are called alphabetically and are passed two parameters: # $1 is the interface name, and $2 is "up" or "down" as the # case may be. resolvconf='/etc/resolv.conf'; cat "$resolvconf"{.head,,.tail} 2>/dev/null > "$resolvconf".tmp mv -f "$resolvconf".tmp "$resolvconf"
Preserving changes to resolv.conf
NetworkManager will attempt to write DNS information from DHCP into
/etc/resolv.conf, overwriting the existing contents. To prevent this, you can set the immutable bit on the file (as root):
# chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf
To modify the file in the future, first remove the immutable bit:
# chattr -i /etc/resolv.conf
DHCP problems
If you have problems with getting an IP via DHCP try to add the following to your
interface "eth0" { send dhcp-client-identifier 01:aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff; }
aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff is the MAC-adress of this NIC.
How to bypass Gnome keyring for normal users connecting with wireless
It's super simple! First, create a group called networkmanager with the following command (or any other method you prefer):
# groupadd networkmanager
Then add your user to that group using the following command (or any other preferred method):
# gpasswd -a username networkmanager
Replace username in the above command with your actual username.
Now, as root, launch nm-connection-editor and configure the connections:
# nm-connection-editor
Put a check mark next to "Available to all users" and apply the settings.
Now you won't be bothered by Gnome keyring! (citation needed) Also, if you additionally enable "connect automatically", your connection will be available and connected before you even log in to your desktop, making your whole startup process even faster!
Missing default route
On at least one KDE4 system, no default route was created when establishing wireless connections with NetworkManager. Changing the route settings of the wireless connection to remove the default selection "Use only for resources on this connection" solved the issue.
3G modem not detected
If NetworkManager (from v0.7.999) does not detect your 3G modem, but you still can connect using wvdial, try installing
modemmanager package using
pacman -S modemmanager and restart NetworkManager daemon with
/etc/rc.d/networkmanager restart. Replug your modem or restart. This utility provides support for hardware not in networkmanager's default database.
VPN problems in Networkmanager 0.7.999
If you get the error message "invalid secrets" when trying to connect to your VPN provider using the PPTP protocol, try installing the git versions instead: networkmanager, nm-applet and the pptp plugin.
Switching off WLAN on laptops
Sometimes networkmanager won't work when you disable your Wifi-adapter with a switch on your laptop and try to enable it again afterwards. This is often a problem with rfkill. Install rfkill from the repo:
# pacman -S rfkill
and use
$ watch -n1 rfkill list all
to check if the driver notifies rfkill about the wireless adapter's status. If one identifier stays blocked after you switch on the adapter you could try to manually unblock it with (where X is the number of the identifier provided by the above output):
# rfkill event unblock X
Static IP Settings Revert To DHCP
Due to an unresolved bug, when changing default connections to static IP, nm-applet may not properly store the configuration change, and will revert to automatic DHCP. A workaround for this issue follows.
Edit the default connection (eg "Auto eth0") in nm-applet. Change the connection name (eg "my eth0"), uncheck the "Available to all users" checkbox, change your static IP settings as desired, and click Apply. This will save a new connection with the given name.
Next, you will want to make the default connection not connect automatically. To do so, run
$ sudo nm-connection-editor # you must use sudo, not su
In the connection editor, edit the default connection (eg "Auto eth0") and uncheck "Connect automatically". Click Apply and close the connection editor.
Tips and tricks
Checking if networking is up inside a cron job or script
Some cron jobs require networking to be up to succeed. You may wish to avoid running these jobs when the network is down. To accomplish this, add an if test for networking that queries NetworkManager's nm-tool and checks the state of networking. The test shown here succeeds if any interface is up, and fails if they are all down. This is convenient for laptops that might be hardwired, might be on wireless, or might be off the network.
if [ `nm-tool|grep State|cut -f2 -d' '` == "connected" ]; then #Whatever you want to do if the network is online else #Whatever you want to do if the network is offline - note, this and the else above are optional fi
This useful for a cron.hourly script that runs fpupdate for the F-Prot virus scanner signature update, as an example. Another way it might be useful, with a little modification, is to differentiate between networks using various parts of the output from nm-tool; for example, since the active wireless network is denoted with an asterisk, you could grep for the network name and then grep for a literal asterisk.
Automatically unlock keyring after login
- Right click on the NM icon in your panel and select Edit Connections and open the Wireless tab
- Select the connection you want to work with and click the Edit button
- Check the boxes "Connect Automatically" and "Available to all users"
Log out and log back in to complete.
/etc/pam.d/gdm (or your corresponding daemon in /etc/pam.d), add these lines at the end of the "auth" and "session" blocks if they do not exist already:
auth optional pam_gnome_keyring.so session optional pam_gnome_keyring.so auto_start
- In
/etc/pam.d/passwd, use this line for the 'password' block:
password optional pam_gnome_keyring.so
- Next time you log in, you should be asked if you want the password to be unlocked automatically on login.
- Put a script like the following in ~/.kde4/Autostart:
$!/bin/sh echo PASSWORD | /usr/bin/pam-keyring-tool --unlock --keyring=default -s
- Similar should work with openbox, lxde, etc.
SLiM login manager
- In
/etc/pam.d/slim, add these lines at the end of the "auth" and "session" blocks if they do not exist already:
auth optional pam_gnome_keyring.so session optional pam_gnome_keyring.so auto_start
- In
/etc/pam.d/passwd, use this line for the 'password' block:
password optional pam_gnome_keyring.so
- In
~/.xinitrc, add this at the very top, before launching your window manager and other applications:
## test for an existing bus daemon, just to be safe if test -z "$DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS" ; then ## if not found, launch a new one eval `dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session` echo "D-Bus per-session daemon address is: $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS" fi
- Next time you log in, you should be asked if you want the password to be unlocked automatically on login.
Automatically connect on boot
Since version 0.7 the NetworkManager is able to connect on boot, before a user has logged in and unlocked the keyring.
- First make sure that the keyfile plugin is loaded;
/etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.confshould look like this:
[main] plugins=keyfile
- If this was not in the file before, you have to restart nm-system-settings:
# killall -TERM nm-system-settings
- or simply reboot.
- Now grant your user the right to modify system-connections:
With polkit:
Place the following in /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/10-org-freedesktop-network-manager-settings.pkla
[Allow user YOURUSERNAME to create wireless connections for all users] Identity=unix-user:YOURUSERNAME Action=org.freedesktop.network-manager-settings.system.modify ResultAny=no ResultInactive=no ResultActive=yes
- Finally, in the connection-editor (of the gnome applet), check the Available to all users box.
The connection is now saved in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/"CONNECTION NAME". On reboot, NetworkManager will try to connect to it, when in range.
knetworkmanager does not yet implement this feature. You will need to use the GNOME network applet (
nm-applet). Install it as described above in this page,
"killall knetworkmanager", then start
Please vote for the bug!
Ignore specific devices
Sometimes it may be desired that NetworkManager ignores specific devices and doesn't try to configure addresses and routes for them.
You can quickly and easily ignore devices by MAC by using the following in /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf :
[keyfile] unmanaged-devices=mac:00:22:68:1c:59:b1;mac:00:1E:65:30:D1:C4
After you've put this in, restart NetworkManager, and you should be able to configure interfaces without NetworkManager altering what you've set.
If that isn't appropriate, you could ignore by HAL.
- First you have to find out the Hal UDI (e.g. with lshal):
... info.product = 'Networking Interface' (string) info.subsystem = 'net' (string) info.udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/net_00_1f_11_01_06_55' (string) linux.hotplug_type = 2 (0x2) (int) linux.subsystem = 'net' (string) ...
- Add the udi to /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf:
[keyfile] unmanaged-devices=/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/net_00_1f_11_01_06_55
- Multiple devices can be specified, delimited by semicolons:
[keyfile] unmanaged-devices=/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/net_00_1f_11_01_06_55;/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/net_00_2c_6d_e2_08_af
You do not need to restart NetworkManager for the changes to take effect.
- Ignoring a type of device at boot time.
this script was used to ignore all ethernet devices at boot time of a archiso build, it can be changed to ignore wifi devices etc. /!\being used on a non-persistant filesystem, the nm-system-settings.conf is default at run time
#!/bin/sh # author: tim noise <email@example.com> COUNT=0 TARGET_FILE="/etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf" for i in `lshal | grep -A6 'Networking Interface' | awk -F "'" '/info.udi = / {print $2}'`; do if [ $COUNT = 0 ]; then COUNT=$COUNT+1; echo "unmanaged-devices=$i" >> $TARGET_FILE else echo -n ";$i" >> $TARGET_FILE fi done printf "\n" >> $TARGET_FILE
Connect faster by disabling IPv6
Slow connection or reconnection to the network may be due to superfluous IPv6 queries in NetworkManager. If there is no IPv6 support on the local network, connecting to a network may take longer than normal while Network Manager tries to establish an IPv6 connection that eventually times out. The solution is to disable IPv6 within NetworkManager which will make network connection faster. This has to be done once for every network you connect to.
- Right-click on the network status icon.
- Click on "Edit Connections".
- Go to the "Wired" or "Wireless" tab, as appropriate.
- Select the name of the network.
- Click on "Edit".
- Go to the "IPv6 Settings" tab.
- In the "Method" dropdown, choose "Ignore".
- Click on "Save".

by Rabbi David Ellenson, Ph.D
I write these words from Jerusalem, Israel. I am here with my wife Jackie, in a city very close to our hearts and in a country we regard as dearly as our own. It has been a week filled with events promising a great future for Israel set against events that mark war and conflict.
The complicated nature of life in Medinat Yisrael has never been more evident to me than it is today. Last night, in the midst of the bombings taking place in the South, Jackie and I saw a small group of Israeli Jews demonstrating outside the home of the Prime Minister against a potential Israeli invasion of Gaza. When we returned home after dinner, we saw a television news broadcast reporting that a demonstration had been held by a large number of Arab students Thursday at the University of Haifa protesting the assassination of Hamas militant Ahmed al-Jabari. This was followed by a response from the Mayor of Haifa who stated that he felt it was extremely inappropriate that such a demonstration was held yesterday in view of events in the South. At the same time, the Mayor stated that Israel is a free and democratic society and asserted that these students – however misguided – had the right to engage in such protest. At this moment, the streets of Jerusalem are calm and busy, full of the signs and noises of everyday life and people preparing for Shabbat even as missiles rain down upon the South of Israel and Gaza – and even as troops are called up and massed for an incursion that may or may not happen. Life goes on even as tensions fill the air.
Let me reassure you that our students, faculty and staff are well. As I said above, life in this city is proceeding with no interruptions. The Year-In-Israel students are a highly impressive group, whom I enjoyed meeting with and teaching this week. They are dealing with a challenging situation with calm, focus, and sensitivity. We are part of a system run by the Jewish Agency for Israel, which shares security information and expertise with programs around the country. We have a range of communication and safety measures in place, and the Acting Director of the Year-In-Israel Program, Dr. Dave Mendelsson, and his team make sure that our students remain well informed and supported. The College-Institute takes every possible precaution to enhance the security and safety of our students.
While southern Israel is in turmoil, it is all the more remarkable to note some of the extraordinary highlights of these recent days. A meeting of the Board of Governors' Israel Committee has taken place. The committee is chaired by David Harman and John Golden, and together with Dean Naamah Kelman they have built an outstanding program. Our Governors Mark Biderman, Marty Cohen, Jay Geller, John Golden, Fred Lane, and Burton Lehman as well as our Vice-President for Administration and Finance Sandie Mills and our Vice-President for Institutional Advancement Jane Karlin made the journey to Israel to be part of the proceedings. With members of the Jerusalem Board of Overseers and outside experts, we have grappled with such questions as the future of Reform Judaism in Israel and the prospects for attracting local Israeli funding for the College-Institute. We have also surveyed the considerable progress made on our $1.3 million restoration project of our landmark campus here on King David Street.
The highlight of the week came on Wednesday night. More than 500 guests packed Blaustein Hall of Beit Shmuel–Mercaz Shimshon, overlooking Homot Yerushalayim, the Walls of Jerusalem, and the Jaffa Gate to see a record number of Israelis graduate from our programs. It was moving to see twelve women, a number of them Orthodox, graduate the Sugiyot Chayim (Life Texts-Talmudic Bibliotherapy) program of our Blaustein Center for Pastoral Care and Counseling. It was inspiring to celebrate with the six individuals who graduated the joint MA program in pluralistic Jewish education that we administer in partnership with Hebrew University. And I can hardly describe the sense of joy I felt to ordain seven new rabbis in Israel, graduates of our Israel Rabbinic Program. The life stories of these new rabbis are little short of amazing, and the fact that people of their caliber choose to devote themselves to the future of Judaism in Israel and around the world is a source of profound hope. All have jobs. Five will be serving the Jewish people in communities all over Israel, while one will return to Sao Paulo and another to service as a shelichah (emissary) of the Jewish agency to the Reform Movement in the United States.
We honored two respected rabbinical colleagues, Daniel Schiff and Moshe Yehudai, for 25 years of rabbinical service, and granted honorary degrees to Avraham Infeld, one of the most transformative leaders in Jewish life, and in absentia to Justice Dorit Beinisch, former President of the Supreme Court of Israel. Although Justice Beinisch could not attend in person, she sent a message in which she re-affirmed the centrality of human rights and the rule of law. The words, the music, the emotion, and the energy all contributed to an unforgettable evening.
Just a few hours later, Jackie was present at the monthly prayer service of the Women of the Wall, as a number of the principles to which Dorit Beinisch had referred were being put to the test. Some women were arrested for wearing prayer shawls in the precinct of the Western Wall.
A week in Jerusalem can be like this – hope and concern, inspiration and frustration, the struggle for rights and the struggle to achieve security. I pray that the current round of hostilities reaches a speedy conclusion, and that the enormous promise demonstrated by our students, faculty, administrators and lay leaders can contribute to profound change. I am proud that our College-Institute is fully engaged in the strengthening of bonds between Israel and the Diaspora, and deeply invested in the forging of a new Israeli Judaism. May this Shabbat bring relief to all in fear and comfort to all in pain, and may the blessing of peace and security come speedily to our brothers and sisters in the State of Israel.

NOCE TRAVERTINE 18x18x1/2 Travertine Tile Honed/Filled
** How do I determine the Quality of Travertine Tile?
1) Travertine tiles are prouos material, you can easly understand quality of tile from holes. Good quality of travertine tiles shouldn't have big holes/filles on the surface.
2) Cut edges, second important factor is when you lay-out the tiles, all tiles should perfect fit the each other and there is no gap between edges and between the tiles. (if you want grout line spaces should be equal)
3) Bend/bevel/thickness; Each tile must be flat and the thickness difference between the tiles must less than 1000/1.
General Information About Travertine Tiles;
Travertine is a form of limestone deposited by mineral springs, especially hot springs. Travertine often has a fibrous or concentric appearance and exists in white, tan, cream-colored, and even rusty varieties. It is formed by a process of rapid precipitation of calcium carbonate, often at the mouth of a hot spring or in a limestone cave. In the latter, it can form stalactites, stalagmites, and other speleothems. It is frequently used in Italy and elsewhere as a building material.
Travertine is a terrestrial sedimentary rock, formed by the precipitation of carbonate minerals from solution in ground and surface waters, and/or geothermally heated hot-springs.[1][2] Similar (but softer and extremely porous) deposits formed from ambient-temperature water are known as tufa.

Travertine Tile Care & Maintenance
-Clean up the spills immediately from tiles.
-Don't use cleaners that contain acid such as bathroom cleaners and scouring powders and abrasives.
Remember Travertine is etched by acids, juice and soft drinks.
We recommend to seal all travertine tiles indoor & outdoor.

The deployall tool installs the required startup scripts into the correct location so that all required services can be automatically started and stopped during the startup and shutdown of your server.
To use, the tool should be executed with superuser privileges, either directly using sudo, or by logging in as the superuser and running the command directly:
sudo deployall
Adding system startup for /etc/init.d/treplicator ...
/etc/rc0.d/K80treplicator -> ../init.d/treplicator
/etc/rc1.d/K80treplicator -> ../init.d/treplicator
/etc/rc6.d/K80treplicator -> ../init.d/treplicator
/etc/rc2.d/S80treplicator -> ../init.d/treplicator
/etc/rc3.d/S80treplicator -> ../init.d/treplicator
/etc/rc4.d/S80treplicator -> ../init.d/treplicator
/etc/rc5.d/S80treplicator -> ../init.d/treplicator
The startup scripts are added to the correct runlevels to enable operation during standard startup and shutdown levels.
See Section 2.6, "Configuring Startup on Boot".
To remove the scripts from the system, use undeployall.

The alleged shrinkage on the Banana Republic Luxury-Touch polos is well known--just check out the reviews and you'll see that almost all of the negative reviewers talk about it. I've mentioned my own experience here before: https://threads.dappered.com/showthr...Sweat-It-polos.
Despite past experience, I bought several slim fit Luxury-Touch polos during the recent labor day sale, because I really like them, and the medium tall is a great fit for me. And since people like Joe (and the overwhelming majority of the reviewers) don't seem to have any issues with shrinking, I wondered if maybe I (and all the other negative reviewers) had simply bought shirts from bad batches.
Anyway, I wore two of the new shirts for the first time last week, and I washed them both this weekend--cold water, hang (completely) dry, and a brief, dry tumble on low heat afterward to shake out the wrinkles. And of course, they each shrunk up about an inch, as well as noticeably in throughout the body. At this point, I don't mind, because they fit me a bit better, but it does not bode well for the long term--if they do it again, they'll be unwearable for me.
Just thought I'd put this out there. There's definitely something going on with that fabric. I wish I knew what magic other people are working to keep theirs from shrinking.
(By comparison, I have two Don't Sweat It polos, which in standard sizing are almost indistinguishable from the tall slim Luxury Touch shirts, other than being a touch boxier through the midsection. These have been through a few wash cycles, as well as the dryer [low heat], with no noticeable shrinkage.)

Bachelor of Fine Arts Interior Architecture and Design
Good interior design is not a luxury but a necessity. It can help to protect the environment, natural and human resources, and make the world a better place in which to live, work, and play. UNA's Interior Design program provides students with an affordable education in interior design. Our School is an ideal setting where students are actively involved in learning and exploring the current and future roles of the interior design profession within a global society. More particularly, this context challenges our students to critically investigate the diverse roles of interior design and inspires us to explore new avenues of thought and attitudes toward why and how we design human environments.
Focusing on preparing well-rounded design professionals, the interdisciplinary foundation of our undergraduate program educates students to work in interior design and architecture firms. Graduates from our Department are prepared to work with other professionals, including architects and engineers in the design of residential, commercial, and institutional projects.
The interior design programs strike a balance between the theoretical and practical aspects of design. The theoretical component is essential to creative problem solving; the practical component ensures the marketability of the graduate. The interior design curriculum is formulated to provide students with a comprehensive knowledge of theory, history, technology, communication, professional and design skills. There are three basic types of courses within the department: studio courses in interior design; lecture courses in interior design subjects; and lecture courses in the human environmental sciences.
