M. Carey Thomas's desire to have "beautiful surroundings" at Bryn Mawr extended to ornamental details, both interior and exterior, and building furnishings. Lockwood de Forest, Henry Chapman Mercer, C.R. Ashbee, Alec Miller, and Tiffany Studios became major resources for the decorative elements that would complete her vision.
Lockwood de Forest (1850-1932) was an architect, painter, designer, and importer of furnishings. His love of detail, and his talent for attractive and reasonably priced solutions to design problems, endeared him to both Thomas and Mary Garrett. During his relationship with the College, which lasted from 1894 to at least 1919, he helped Thomas decorate her office in Taylor Hall, designed faculty housing, and collaborated with his son-in-law, Winsor Soule, on plans for a new gymnasium (1908) and an infirmary (1912). However, his two biggest projects at Bryn Mawr were the two phases of the Deanery expansion and remodeling, and the interior decoration of the library.
Thomas expressed her enthusiasm and respect to De Forest in a 1907 letter:
It is wonderful to know so much as you do. If it were possible by any system of training for you to create a school of architects and decorators like yourself, I should be only too glad to drop everything else and devote myself to getting money to endow such a school; but it is not possible. Such people are, I believe, born and not made.
The Deanery was Thomas's primary residence during her Bryn Mawr years. She used it for private and public entertaining and lavished on it the same attention to detail and quality that she did to other campus buildings. Mary Garrett provided generous financial resources as well as a number of the furnishings needed to make the Deanery suitable for a college president.
Lockwood de Forest worked with Thomas during two Deanery expansion projects. The first renovation, in 1894-1896, took place under the direction of Walter Cope. The second occurred in 1908 with De Forest serving as consulting architect to the firm of Archer and Allen. The Deanery gradually evolved from a simple wood frame house to a forty-six-room mansion. Thomas retired in 1922 and in 1933 the Alumnae Association began using the Deanery until it became unsafe for occupancy. It was razed in 1968 and Canaday Library was built on the same grounds.
Significant examples of De Forest's decorative work were lost when the Deanery was destroyed. However, archival photos illustrate many of the details, and a version of one of the rooms still exists. The Dorothy Vernon Room, so named because of Thomas's love for Haddon Hall in England and its romantic heroine, Dorothy Vernon, was partially recreated in Haffner Hall in 1971. A number of the furnishings from the Deanery were preserved, and some are still displayed in this room and in other reception areas of the College.
De Forest had a great appreciation of traditional crafts and artisans, particularly those of the Middle East and India, which he had seen on his travels. During his early partnership in Associated Artists (a New York firm that included Louis Comfort Tiffany) he established a workshop in India. There he designed his own furniture and purchased Indian pieces that were resold through the Association. His furnishings business continued after the group dissolved in 1883. He sold his Indian operation to Tiffany Studios in 1907, but maintained his showroom until 1922.
It is difficult to tell what Indian or Damascene furnishings in the Deanery were actually designed by De Forest or selected by him from his showroom inventory. A number of them belonged to Mary Garrett and were brought from her Baltimore residence. However, it is clear that Thomas, Garrett and De Forest were comfortable combining his exotic designs with European and American architectural elements and furnishings.
De Forest's Indian workshop began producing stencils in 1881, ultimately reproducing over 200 patterns, as well as reproductions of tracery panels, teakwood paneling and mantels, metalwork (including jewelry) and textiles. The one exhibited here was among those De Forest used to embellish the areas, painted blue, between the ceiling beams of The Dorothy Vernon Room.
According to De Forest scholar Roberta A. Mayer, the chair below right was
crafted in Ahmedabad, India and assembled in New York. It
was purchased by Mary Garrett ca. 1885-1887 and, according to photographic evidence,
was in the Deanery by 1908.
Both during and after his partnership with Louis Comfort Tiffany De Forest provided designs that were executed by Tiffany Studios. Bond Thomas, Carey's brother and an employee of the firm, oversaw her orders for these pieces, including escutcheons and pulls for the library doors and ceiling lights for the Deanery. The widely recognized lamps and decorative glass objects that were hallmarks of the Tiffany style, such as the rosewater sprinkler at the top of this page, were part of the Deanery furnishings.

It was Enriqueís interest in electrical workóhe likes to fix electrical fans as a hobbyóthat spurred Annette and Roger Mackenroth of Maplewood, Minn., to sponsor him in 2003. Roger is a retired electrician for the railroad.
ìI have three sons and intended to sponsor a younger girl,î said Roger. ìBut Enrique just jumped out at me.î
Enrique, 16, lives with his mother and brother in eastern Venezuela. His father is gone for long periods of time working on a boat.
Roger and Annette learned through Enriqueís letters that he was having trouble in school and had to repeat classes.
The couple met Enrique on a mission awareness trip to Venezuela in 2007. Enrique and his mother rode a bus for 15 hours to reach Barquisimeto in order to see the Mackenroths.
ìWe told Enrique he had to learn English for business and computers,î said Roger. ìAfter the trip, we didnít hear from him for months. Eventually, we learned he was busy studying and ended up third in his class. Now, heís at the top.î
The couple is convinced their encouragement helped motivate Enrique to improve in school.
ìHis mother said she would pray for us every day of her life,î Annette said. ìI have no doubt that she does.î
The Mackenroths recently began sponsoring 18-year-old Germarys, also from Venezuela. She graduated from high school in 2007 and then lost her sponsorship. Annette hopes by sponsoring her, Germarys will be able to attain her dream of becoming a lawyer.

Company Urges Customers, Employees to Be Cautious and Stay Safe During Nor'easter, FiOS Stores in Hardest-Hit Areas Continue to Offer Free Device-Charging to Those Without Power
(BASKING RIDGE, N.J.) – As Verizon wireline employees continue to reconnect consumers, businesses and government clients in the wake of Hurricane Sandy, the company has completed preparations for a nor'easter that began to affect the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast Wednesday (Nov. 7).
"With this nor'easter bearing down on a wide region that includes ground already traveled by Sandy – as well as areas such as Massachusetts that escaped Sandy's worst – we're urging all our customers and employees to be careful and safe," said Robert Mudge, president of Verizon's Consumer and Mass Business division. "Safety is paramount for our people and our customers. We are doubling our crews and have brought in extra equipment and supplies to help restore service in the wake of Sandy, and now this latest storm, as quickly and as safely as possible."
Preparation for Nor'easter:
- Verizon has completed preparations for the nor'easter's arrival, testing and confirming fuel supplies for backup generators; sandbagging key facilities; moving vehicles and other portable equipment from low-lying areas; contacting snow-removal vendors; and stocking critical supplies in centralized locations for rapid deployment to hard-hit areas.
- From its various surveillance and command centers, the company will closely monitor weather conditions as the nor'easter impacts the area and will pull technicians off their restoral work should conditions become unsafe. Employees will resume their restoral work as soon as weather conditions allow.
- Strategically pre-positioning materials and equipment helps speed restoration efforts and will get crews, which have been working around-the-clock, back to work faster after this latest storm passes.
- Verizon Enterprise Solutions clients that require additional assistance with their business continuity plans or service in the face of the nor'easter should contact their account manager.
- Emergency communications such as 911 service operated well during and after Sandy, and Verizon will continue to update 911 center employees and respond quickly to any issues they may encounter as the nor'easter hits.
- Several resources are available online to help people prepare for the nor'easter, including instructions on how to prepare for a Winter Storm on the American Red Cross website; Tips for Consumers on a Personal Emergency Communications Plan from Verizon Wireless; and a Web page for Verizon customers affected by the recent severe weather. For daily updates on Verizon's non-stop work to restore services and help communities in the wake of Hurricane Sandy, visit the Verizon News Center.
Restoration for Customers in Mid-Atlantic, Northeast:
- Verizon employees continue to bring back voice, data, Internet and TV service to thousands of customers daily in the areas affected by Hurricane Sandy.
- Power has been restored to several critical Verizon facilities in lower Manhattan and Queens. These facilities provide phone, Internet and TV services for consumers and small businesses in the area, as well as sophisticated data communications for financial services, other enterprises and government agencies.
Even as power is restored to key facilities and customers' homes or businesses, Verizon may need to repair or replace damaged equipment – such as flooded electronics in switching offices, and broken poles and downed lines in neighborhoods – to bring back service for customers.
- The company continues to redeploy technicians and equipment to New Jersey and New York to hasten restoral in those hard-hit areas as commercial power is restored and Verizon crews can access damaged facilities for the first time. Verizon will double the current force of technicians in these two areas over the next several days, drawing crews from Maryland, Massachusetts, upstate New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia.
- The company has extended call-center hours and shifts to better meet customers' service needs.
Customer Repairs, Replacements, Care and Caution:
- Verizon will provide credits for landline customers who have reported an out-of-service condition related to Hurricane Sandy. Verizon Wireless is offering a Voice and Text program for customers in counties of New York and New Jersey impacted by Hurricane Sandy. Domestic voice and text usage will be automatically removed from accounts for activity between Oct. 29 and Nov. 16. Included counties can be found at: http://news.verizonwireless.com/news/2012/11/pr2012-11-04a.html.
- Verizon technical support will help customers determine if their equipment such as set-top boxes or home broadband routers is operable or needs replacement. Troubleshooting tips are also available for customers at www.verizon.com/outage.
- The company will repair or replace any consumer or small business Verizon equipment damaged by Sandy, without charge. This includes FiOS set-top boxes, FiOS broadband routers, optical network terminals and High Speed Internet (DSL) broadband routers.
Supporting Emergency Responders, Communities:
- Many Verizon FiOS and Verizon Wireless stores in the region are open to people without power who need to charge their wireless devices. To find a store near you, click here. People should bring their own device chargers and call a store first to ensure it's open. Verizon Wireless has plans to temporarily relocate some outdoor mobile recharging stations to protect the safety of employees and the community and to ensure the stations remain operable and ready to deploy when it's safe to do so. An updated listing of locations and services can be found here.
- Verizon has moved several units in its emergency fleet of vehicles and self-contained emergency inflatable-air shelters to a safe zone in advance of the nor'easter, and will redeploy them to areas of need as the storm passes. These units assist local government, public-safety and emergency management agencies, providing them with communications, Internet and video capabilities in particularly hard-hit areas where such services may not currently be available.

- To support Hurricane Sandy relief efforts, Verizon Wireless customers and the Verizon Foundation have pledged more than $3.5 million to the American Red Cross and other organizations aiding in Hurricane Sandy recovery efforts. Customers can still make a $10 donation by texting REDCROSS to 90999, and those who would like to give more can donate up to $50 via text. In addition, Verizon employees have donated more than $458,000 to the American Red Cross and Salvation Army to date through the Verizon Foundation's matching gifts program; the foundation will match those donations two-for-one. For more on the Verizon Foundation's Sandy support, click here.
Customers can contact Verizon online at www.verizon.com/outage to report any wireline service-related issues; or call 1-800-VERIZON (1-800-837-4966). Please note that hold times will be longer than normal due to higher calling volumes. For prior Hurricane Sandy updates, click here.

There's a new revenue sheriff in town and its name is "fee." This often overlooked revenue generator has become a cornerstone of local government finance at a time when these governments are denied billions of dollars in aid from the state. Cumulatively, fees can add up to big bucks.
For cities and counties with unbalanced budgets, fees are the easiest ways to generate new revenues. Unlike parcel or sales taxes, fees can be authorized by city councils and boards of supervisors as revenue sources without the uncertainties connected with elections. The primary requirement is that the fee come from individuals or businesses who use local services provided by local governments.
Fees have become necessary instruments for local government finance because of the disconnect between state requirements and funding support. The state requires local governments to maintain law and order, provide fire fighting services, and be the last resort for health care, as well as many other local government functions. These services are the largest areas of government and require vast. Whereas the state once supplemented local governments with assistance, those funds have dried up, hence more self-reliance at the local level.
Cities and counties have always had some fees--charges for developers who build housing to build sidewalks, streets and parks come to mind. But in recent years, fees have exploded. Fees on plastic bags have been instituted in several cities throughout the state to help recover clean-up costs. Several cities now charge fees for keeping cars at storage facilities after they have been temporarily confiscated because of DUI arrests. A few cities now charge fees of as much as $300 to people who call 9-1-1 for police or firefighter assistance. And now San Francisco is on the verge of charging fees to the sellers of alcohol to bars to help pay the costs associated with intoxication. When passed on to customers, the cost will amount to about a nickel per drink.
Beyond the nuisance element of paying more for "this and that," fees illustrate the modern-day dilemma of budget making in California. The more that state lawmakers resist the calls for more taxes statewide to make up for insufficient revenues, the more that local governments are holding the (empty) bag in the name of reduced state assistance for mandated programs and services. Slowly but surely, this phenomenon is shifting government revenue bases from the state to local governments. And with some local governments much more capable and/or willing to impose fees than others, the result is a state where the differences between communities is growing every day.
Nickel and Diming Adds Up

Trail Information and FAQs
Trail Information
We have tried to provide answers to the most common questions about the Trail here. If you can't find the information you are looking for please contact us directly and we'll do our best to help.
About the Trail
The 100 miles (160 Km) long South Downs Way National Trail follows the old routes and droveways along the chalk escarpment and ridges of the South Downs. The route provides the visitor with the opportunity "to get away from it all" without having to travel too far in this busy part of England. The undulating route provides a wonderful trip for long distance riders as well as walkers. It also provides interesting day trips and short breaks.
Most people take 8 or 9 days to walk the whole 100 miles (160km) at 12 – 15 miles (25km) a day.
It's worth considering if you are walking that the villages where accommodation is are at the foot of the hill so you'll have to walk down in the evening and up in the morning.
To cycle the South Downs Way takes 2 or 3 days if you are used to off road cycling. It is possible to do it in a day but that's an extreme challenge! There's about 12,600ft (3800m) of climb as well as the 100 miles (160km) of distance.
That's not such an easy question to answer - there are lots of fastest times :
- Fastest SDW double double cycle (completing the Trail 4 times without stopping) is Rob Colliver at 55 hours
- The fastest run of the SDW was set by Mark Perkins during the timed Centurion Running SDW 100 event in 2014, when he recorded a time of 14:03.54
- Fastest SDW single cycle ride is Ian Leitch at 7 hrs 3 mins
- Fastest SDW double cycle is currently Ian Leitch at 15 hrs 35 mins
- Fastest SDW double on a single speed bike is Rob Dean at 18 hrs 41 mins
- Fastest SDW double cycle by a female is Lydia Gould at 27 hrs 26 mins
- Fastest SDW triple cycle is currently Richard Sterry in 37 hrs 04 mins
- Fastest horse ride is unknown
- Fastest non-motorised wheelchair user to complete the SDW is Swasie Turner in 9 days!
Anyone who is reasonably fit can walk the South Downs Way – if you can comfortably walk say 12 miles (20km) in a day you shouldn't have a problem. You'll enjoy it more if you do a few long day walks beforehand to get fitter.
You should be used to off road cycling before you commit yourself to cycling the South Downs Way – doing it in anything less than 3 days will require quite a high degree of fitness.
The South Downs Way is much more of a challenge for horse riders because of the road crossings and logistics of accommodation for horses.
There is a dedicated team at the South Downs National Park Authority looking after the South Downs Way day to day. This team is funded and guided by the South Downs Way Trail Partnership made up of the South Downs National Park Authority, Natural England, Hampshire County Council, West Sussex County Council and East Sussex County Council.
The South Downs Way couldn't be maintained without the help of dedicated volunteers. Our volunteers get involved in surveying, practical work, helping at public events and administration.
The South Downs National Park has a dedicated volunteer coordinator. If you're interested in volunteering on the National Trail or across the South Downs you can find out more from their website.
Exploring the Trail
It's easy to get to the South Downs Way, it has good public transport links which get better the further east you go. There are main line trains and long distance coaches to both Winchester and Eastbourne as well as several places in between. Allow around 60 – 90 minutes from London. Ferries to Newhaven and Portsmouth, and the London Airports (especially Gatwick) are handy for overseas visitors.
We encourage you to come and visit the South Downs by public transport, however, if you do decide to drive then the road connections to the M25/M3/M23/M27 are good.
Car Parks are often small in the South Downs, with farm machinery sometimes passing through especially during harvest, so please park considerately. Main car parks are shown on the interactive map.
See the Public Transport page for more information.
There is a wide range of accommodation available along the Trail. We recommend that you book in advance. The interactive map shows accommodation locations and details.
There are numerous campsites along the trail which enable you to complete the whole Trail using camp sites, but do remember that some sites are a little way off the Trail.
You can see where campsites are on the Plan Your Visit page, or download a list from the leaflets page.
If you are walking the Trail there are plenty of companies that can book your accommodation, arrange transport of your bags or plan the whole trip for you. There are also companies that can arrange a bike tour for you. See the Baggage Handlers page or the Holiday Operators page for more information.
Unfortunately we are not aware of any companies that can organise riding tours. If you know of anyone that does please get in touch.
The South Downs Way can be enjoyed at any time of the year. However it does get busier during school holidays and on weekends between May and September you should expect to come across larger organised events.
You can do it in either direction, and of course you don't have to do the whole Trail in one go anyway. The guidebook is written from east to west, starting at Eastbourne and ending at Winchester. The Trail Officer's personal recommendation is to do it the other way, start in the west and head east, ending at Eastbourne. There are two reasons for this; one is that the wind will be behind you rather than in your face. More importantly the Hampshire countryside is very attractive but the white chalk cliffs at Beachy Head are spectacular.
We recommend that you take a map or guidebook with you, or a copy of the walk leaflet if you are walking a circular walk
It is also worth remembering that except for a few exceptions most pubs, cafes and shops are off the Trail, therefore you should take some snacks and drink with you to ensure you don't get caught out.
Mobile phone reception is generally good. Most of the Trail follows an open ridgeline and has mobile phone reception including 3G. Areas with no reception are short and a few minutes walk will find you back in signal.
Some accommodation providers offer Wi-Fi. If this is important to you please check when booking.
The entire South Downs Way follows a series of defined Rights of Way along which you have a legal right of access.
An acorn is the symbol of the National Trails and it will be found on all signposts and waymark posts along the Trail.
When using the South Downs Way you will see the following symbols on the Trail or on connecting paths, which can be used by vehicles, horse riders, cyclists or walkers as indicated.
An acorn, the symbol of Britain's National Trails, is used to guide your journey by marking the route in a variety of ways. It is used in conjunction with coloured arrows or the words 'footpath', 'bridleway' or 'byway' to indicate who can use a particular right of way.
The yellow arrow indicates a path for use by walkers The word 'footpath' and/or a yellow arrow indicates a path for use by walkers only and where, without the landowner's permission, it is illegal to cycle, ride a horse or drive a vehicle.
The blue arrow indicates a path which can be used by walkers, horseriders and cyclists The word 'bridleway' and/or a blue arrow indicates a path which can be used by walkers, horseriders and cyclists but where, without the landowner's permission, it is illegal to drive any vehicle.
The plum arrow indicates a path which can be used by walkers, horseriders, cyclists and carrige drivers. The term 'restricted byway' and/or a plum arrow indicates a path which can be used by walkers, horseriders, cyclists and carrige drivers but where, without the landowner's permission, it is illegal to drive any motorised vechicle.
The red arrow indicates a right of way which can be legally used by walkers, horseriders, cyclists, carrige drivers and motorists.The word 'byway' and/or a red arrow indicates a right of way which can be legally used by walkers, horseriders, cyclists, carrige drivers and motorists.
To report a problem on the trail go to the Report a Problem page. From here you will need to identify where the problem is on the map and add some details. If you want to be informed about progress to resolve the problem please add your email address.
Trail staff aim to resolve problems as quickly as they can, but some things do take a long time. Please be patient if you do not see immediate resolution.
You can download a GPX file of the whole Trail. Click the GPX download link at the bottom of the Plan Your Visit page.
Who can enjoy the Trail
The National Trail has been developed for walkers, cyclists and horse riders. In some places the walkers route takes a slightly different line to the bridleway route.
The South Downs Way is open to mountain bikers and horse riders for the full 100 miles from Eastbourne to Winchester. Please be aware that there are sections where footpath and bridleway routes are separate, cyclists and horses must stick to the bridleway. Notably between Alfriston and Eastbourne at the eastern end of the Trail. The coastal route over the Seven Sisters and Beachy Head is a footpath only and can not be ridden. Cyclists and Horse-riders must use the Bridleway route, passed the 'Long Man of Wilmington' and through Jevington to Eastbourne.
Winchester isn't an ideal starting point for equestrians – if you are planning to ride the whole Trail we advise starting or finishing at Chilcomb village instead. This avoids the city centre and M3 bridge crossing. Please note that Chilcomb is a small village and is best suited as a setting down and picking up point only. Please park considerately in the village.
Your dog is welcome on South Downs Way but as with any countryside must be under close control. Please remember that the South Downs is a farmed landscape and livestock are common. Download the Guide for dog walkers from the Leaflets page.
Cows with calves are very protective and can be aggressive towards dogs. Try to avoid walking close to cows with calves, if you encounter any aggression release your dog, do not try to pick it up.
National Trails are not intended for motor vehicles. Some sections of the Trail can be legally used by recreational vehicles, however there are also several Traffic Regulation Orders banning vehicles from sections they could otherwise use. Vehicle drivers should check with the relevant County Council for details.
Walkers, cyclists, and horse riders should note that much of the South Downs Way runs on farm tracks so you may well meet agricultural vehicles almost anywhere.
The South Downs Way doesn't have any stiles, at least on the bridleway route, but it is not engineered as a fully accessible route. Parts are steep and much of it is used by farm vehicles. It is possible to explore the Trail using a "Tramper" or other rugged mobility scooter. Contact the Trail Team for more information and contact details for disabled people who've already enjoyed completing the Trail.
The South Downs Way is a very popular venue for organised events including charity events and endurance challenges. Weekends in summer can be especially busy.
If you are thinking of organising an event along part or all of the Trail please download the Event Guidelines from the Leaflets page.
If you plan to organise a large event, ie one with more then approximately 50 participants, then please contact the Trail Officer. It is important that they are aware of your event. A large number of events use the Trails, the Trail Officer can advise you to ensure your event does not clash with any other event or major works that may affect or close parts of the Trail. You will be asked to contribute a minimal donation of £1 per entrant for paid events. 20% of your donation goes to support the website and promotion of National Trails, including promotion of events and 80% goes to the Trail.
What is special about the Trail
The South Downs Way is one of the 15 National Trails in England and Wales. National Trails are designated by the Secretary of State and are administered by Natural England and Natural Resources Wales, and managed by the local authorities and National Park Authorities whose area they pass through.
Most National Trails have a dedicated Trail Manager responsible for maintaining the high quality standards on the Trail. National Trails are waymarked with the distinctive "acorn" symbol.
National Trails are special because they pass through some of the best landscapes, and they are managed to a very high standard. Because of this you can be confident that any journey you make along a National Trail will be one of the best you have taken.
Natural England sets quality standards for National Trails and their management. You can find out more on the Natural England website.
The South Downs Way is tranquil island in the busy South East running entirely within the new South Downs National Park. You can feel a million miles from the hustle and bustle of modern life, but only be a few minutes from civilisation.
Running along a chalk ridge means that the Trail drains and dries out quickly making it good year round. The elevated position ensures you are rewarded by breathtaking views across the English Channel and Isle of Wight to the south and over the wooded Weald and heathland ridges to the north.
Whether you're walking, on a mountain bike or on horseback the South Downs Way passes through a varied landscape of protected habitats including internationally important chalk rivers, internationally rare species rich chalk grasslands and beautiful ancient woodland. The Trail passes through or passes by 5 National Nature Reserves and dozens of Sites of Special Scientific Interest where you can enjoy stunning wildlife at close hand.
You can find out about the other 14 National Trails on this website.
To find out about other long distance trails try the Long Distance Walker's Association (www.ldwa.org.uk ) or the Ramblers (www.ramblers.org.uk).
Maps, guides, certificates and merchandise
The official Guide Books for the National Trails are produced by Aurum Press. The guides are regularly updated and all details are checked by the trail managers. The books include sections of Ordnance Survey 1:25,00 maps and are the very best accompaniment to your walk. We also recommend the A-Z map of the South Downs Way, this is the official trail map. You can buy both from the National Trails shop.
You'll find that most guidebooks, including the Official Guide, are written from East to West (Eastbourne to Winchester), if you want to walk the trail from West to East we recommend the Cicerone Press guide, also available from the shop.
There are other maps and guides available. You can see these on the Maps and Guides page.
Yes – you can. Visit our certificate page to find out more.
There is a video guide to the South Downs Way, produced by TVwalks.

Buck Showalter and Dan Duquette talked briefly with the media Sunday night in a conference call from Florida after the Orioles' charter plane – which had to make an emergency stop in Jacksonville because of smoke in the kitchen area – landed. Showalter talked about that experience, and both men spoke about the Orioles clinching a playoff berth for the first time in 15 years. The team learned of the Los Angeles Angels' loss while in the air.
Showalter on the plane mishap:
"I didn't get my coffee so I am a little ornery. You all know how I am when I don't get a cup of coffee. They were getting ready to heat up coffee, that's what happened. So it's my fault."
Showalter on whether he was nervous when the plane had to land prematurely:
"We were in good hands. It was a precautionary thing just to be on the safe side. We had a little something heat up on the plane that the professionals didn't like what was going on. So just check it out, be on the safe side. We stopped in Jacksonville, got it checked out. Fixed whatever the problem was, got right back on the plane and took off. Gave everybody a chance to get off the plane and watch some of the Eagles game. So it worked out good."
Showalter's thoughts on making the playoffs:
"It's a step. It's comforting to know that we are going to be involved in it and it's something we are very proud of. … But it's a step and it started a long time ago. So you get a return for the work these guys have put into it. … You'd like to somehow figure out a way to play games at our park in front of our fans. We've put ourselves in a position to compete for a divisional title and that's been in our sites for a while. Being able to get into the playoffs is a by-product of our playing good baseball. We'll see where the next three games take us, but I'm real proud of everybody. It was a good reaction like I expected on the plane, everybody will get some sleep tonight and get ready to take on that tough pitching staff that Tampa has."
Showalter on the reaction on the plane when the Angels lost:
"Everybody responded as you could imagine. It was very professional. It was more of a look into somebody's eye, it's a firm handshake, it's a knowing look. … It's great. We're proud, but we've got the opportunities to do things to put us in a better position."
Showalter on what Sunday was like:
"It's been a long day. I started early this morning but it really hasn't been an emotional rollercoaster for us that people may perceive it. We just control what we can control. That's play a good baseball game, win, hold your serve."
Showalter on the club's perspective now:
"I think everybody knows where the finish is and we're not there. They are very mature. And you don't do what these guys have done without emotion involved, but they've always been following in the right direction against the opposition and the talent ahead of us each night and each day. We have a really tough challenge ahead of us here in Tampa. And when that smoke clears, we'll see what's left for us and know we're going to be playing more than 162 games."
Showalter on whether he's had a chance to soak in the playoff spot and appreciate the moment personally:
"Not yet, not really. It's one of those things that I think everybody steps back and reflects on when it is all over. There's too much work to be done, too many things to be prepared for. … We know a lot of people are depending on us to take it down this road. You grind like heck from really the last day of the season last year and you focus on this year, 2012, and from the first day of spring training, to have a chance to roll the dice in October. And that's what it is. You want to have a chance to roll those dice.
Showalter on whether a low-key celebration was fitting for this team:
"It depends on how you define low-key. If you got inside somebody's heart, you might not define it that way. … It's their accomplishment, the team's accomplishment, the players' accomplishment. We are all very proud of them. I know I am personally for them letting me come along for the ride. But don't underestimate the emotion involved in this team ... Anything you see from them is going to be sincere."
Duquette on his overall reaction to the playoff berth:
"I'm happy for the players and for the fans. We were in the hunt in September when the kids went back to school and now we're going to play some meaningful games in October. Hats off to Buck and the players. They know that we have more work to do and they're going to do everything they can to not only have a playoff game in Baltimore for the fans but … to realize the goals and dreams of the organization. I think that people believe in the team, fans believe in the team and they've seen a lot of the investment the owner has made in the team bear fruit. And I'm just happy we've made the first step."

The Black Keys' Dan Auerbach is being sued over his involvement with in a planned documentary about Chicago blues musician Howlin' Wolf.
Production company Smokestack Lightning Inc. claim the guitarist verbally agreed to act as the director and executive producer of Smokestack Lightning: The Legendary Howlin' Wolf, and set about demanding "certain material alterations and expansions" when the film was in post-production.
According to the production company, Auerbach wanted new interviews, additional licensed material, a new writer, "an entirely new camera and filming format" and other things.
Pitchfork reports that the producers claim whenever they spoke to Auerbach about the rising costs, his team threatened to back out of the project. Smokestack say they fulfilled his requests, but the guitarist still quit. They allege he refused to reimburse them for the changes he made.
Now, Smokestack are suing Auerbach for breach of a verbal agreement, breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing, unfair business practice and negligent misrepresentation. They are looking for $100,000 (£75,756) in compensation.
Smokestack Lightning: The Legendary Howlin' Wolf features interviews with Auerbach, Jimmy Page, Buddy Guy and Bill Wyman.

Server:Kil'jaeden US/Mellin
This is a silly article.
The content of this article is not part of official Warcraft lore, but has nevertheless become part of the World of Warcraft culture or community.
Mellin, a level 29 Blood Elf Paladin of the Kil'jaeden server, gained his "15 minutes of fame" almost overnight when he posted "MELLINS 10 REASONS TO PLAY A PALLY" on the Paladin Realm forums. He was compared to Alamo from the very beginning for obvious reasons and was an instant hit.
Similar posts include Kralnor, for warlocks, Alamo, for druids, and Halbrium, for Shamans.

Later in his post, Mellin chose to divulge a little information about himself. Many of his fans were disappointed to find out that he did not, in fact, play a Paladin. His main character, Hegran(Terokkar) is a 70 warlock and his alts are Craer(Gul'dan), 70 rogue and Tank(Gul'dan), 70 warrior.

The Lincoln Journal
October 16, 1985
"I lived my first 18 years of my life in Lincoln County," General Charles E. Yeager told a large crowd outside the Charles E. Yeager Career Center.
"That's where you're molded. The rest of the time you're working. But you're molded into what you're going to be in those first 18 years."
For someone who has not lived in Lincoln County for 44 years, Yeager sure seemed to know a lot of people. But there were many people he did not know.
"I haven't lived here since 1941," he said. "People know me who grew up since then. But I don't know them.... And they expect me to know them."
He remembered the smallest details about the older people, and he chatted with them about their families, and asked questions about their loved ones. He showed great patience and interest in the older people. To one, he said "You don't look any different now than you did 40 years ago."
Yeager was patient with everyone Monday, when he faced over a thousand people who all came to see the vocational school named in his honor. He signed countless autographs of copies of his auobiography, "Yeager," and of the day's program as well. As he signed programs, he commented good-naturedly: "There must be about 2,000 of these things floating around."
When asked if he received comments about the earthy language in "Yeager," the general said "that's the way peole talk when they fight a war."
Chuckling, he said his mother read the book and "threatened to kill me for saying we were raised on cornmeal mush."
Yeager said he had often milked cows in the hollow in which the career center now stands, and had hunted squirrels in nearby woods.
Asked if he had ever dreamed he might begoing places during those first 18 years, he said: 'No. There was no vay of knowing. It hadn't happened yet, and I was never one to speculate."
Yeager also refused to speculate about what would have happened if he had been born 10 years later.
Virginia Smith, his English teacher in those days, recalled Yeager.
"(He) was just one of the boys, and I loved them all. I never had any idea he was headed any further than the rest of them."
Smith remembered Yeager was not th best English student (Yeager himself said he was lucky to get C's), but added she heard he was excellent in science and math.
At the ceremony, Yeager told the crowd he had not thought much about the future when he was growing up.
He said he had fun as a youth flying kites and hunting squirrels in the mornings. Sometimes, he said, he would arrive at school 15 minutes after starting time, and the principal would not be too sympathetic with the explanation that he had had squirrels to skin.
Yeager recalled spending a lot of time playing football and basketball.
"I was trained in sports," he said. "Sports are a big part of your life training for adulthood."
Yeager also recalled his years in band, beginning in grade school.
When he autographed a picture taken on Mother's Day, 1938, he told former fellow band member Mrs. Froud. Spuriock to remember he traded the bass drums for the trombone, which he played for eight years. Spurlock said all the county schools were in one band when she and Yeager went to school.
Yeager recalled his own vocational training. He took two years of typing with Ruby Miller, and could type 60 words a minute.
The Ford garage and Shorty Hager's garage, he said, were the vocational schools of his day. "They turned over their garages to us. They taught us what we knew.
"A machine" he said, "will bite a person who does not understand it."
What he learned from Shorty Hager and from Carl Clay at the Ford garage he credited with keeping him alive over his flying years.
"I learned how to push a machine without it biting me," he said. Yeager toured the vo-tech center that will bear his name during the morning, and he called it a wonderful facility.
"I only wish we had had this facility in 1937, '38, '39 and '40," he said. "It's marvelous how current technology is available to these stu- dents today....how it reaches even into the back country."
Superintendent of Schools Charles McCann introduced the program.
"He is ours," said McCann. "He is yours. Today we are honoring one of our own by changing the name of the vo-tech center to the Charles E. Yeager Career Center.
"I'm proud that General Yeager still remembers his roots in Lincoln County and in West Virginia."
Yeager has been an immensely popular figure in the county over the last four decades. Complemented about his great patience with the endless picturing-taking, autograph- signing, and media-interviewing, Yeager smiled and said "You learn that."
Yeager has lived his adult life in places far from Lincoln County, yet he has never distanced himself from his beginnings.

I didn't have an issue with spreading. I tried not to indent the cookies too much with my thumb and then ones that I got over zealous with I built the walls up a bit around the indention.

Mmmm. My parents own and live on a pecan orchard (grove? whatever you call it) and we're always looking for new ways to use them. They're so delish, and these cookies look like a great use for them!

These taste amazing! I made them for thanksgiving dessert, BUT instead of baking powder I would recommend substituting baking SODA because they didn't rise properly, they just melted. Also consider refrigerating the dough before scooping it and making the indent. Flavor is great, just a few mechanical problems.

(Detroit, Michigan) January 13, 2009 - With a frigid Michigan winter evening as the backdrop for Metallica's descent upon Detroit's Joe Louis Arena, what lurked under its heated rafters could have only been described by those in attendance that evening. In most instances music fanatics attend a concert to listen to recognizable melodies, sing along to familiar lyrics or bask in the splendour of a well-performed instrument. Other times an enhanced lighting and stage show filled with all of its pyrotechnical trappings provide the visual eye candy necessary for some. Yet, can we say that we have ever witnessed a performance or a band that has not only symbolized a culture, but have defined a musical movement?
The energy and feeling created at a Metallica concert is unlike no other. Aside from a show it is an absolute assault on all of those brave enough to withstand the impact of an intensely fierce and at times violent audience. Security were definitely on their heels as testosterone-filled moshers unleashed their aggressions on each other. Similar to a group of warriors on the attack, fans pumped their fists as a call to arms. With James Hetfield as their commander-in-chief the mighty Metallica militia filled the arena to capacity.
Electing for a center stage or "in the round" arrangement, the Los Angeles-based metal quartet came armed with their legacy of hits spanning a quarter of a century. With both classics and recent material in tow, the masters of speed metal energized the dedicated crowd.
Make no bones about it, they were definitely there to promote their latest release "Death Magnetic" as all but four cuts were scattered throughout the set list. Opening the evening appropriately with " That Was Just Your Life" and "The End of the Line" the first two tracks from the album, fans realized quickly that their heroes were not going to be resting on their laurels. This is indeed a far cry from the typical textbook format of playing one or two cuts from the newer material, which is often used as opportunity for fans to locate the nearest alcohol outlet or washroom before returning to their seats to hear the true signature songs from the band.
Now into their ninth studio album and 25 years into their career, their classic songs seemed to glue the night's list together. Staples such as "Sad But True", "Enter Sandman", "One" and "Nothing Else Matters" satisfied all including those only somewhat familiar with the band. Not surprisingly, a group with this kind of longevity was sure to attract even the offspring of their loyal and long time fans.
Aside from the impressive laser display which opened the night and a massive stage to release the band's energy, the show was modest in its visual display. Due to the obvious disadvantage of playing "in the round", stacked amplifiers were not present. Nor were the latest and greatest in video screen technology. This stripped down show was actually quite refreshing to see as it brought the audience back to the true meaning of why they were present that evening - the music.
Lars Ulrich, drummer and co-founder, was both masterful behind the kit as well as visible as he rotated slowly throughout the evening on a revolving platform to give all an equal view. With a stripped down Tama set, his thunderous sound was unmistakeable. As Hetfield both sang and barked out the band's anthem-like lyrics, Kirk Hammett hammered out the familiar guitar solos which are almost as significant as the songs themselves. Robert Trujillo, bassist since 2003 was ferocious both in demeanour and ability. Although occasionally using a pick, Trujillo was able to grind out the most complex Metallica grooves with his incredible dexterity and mammoth tones.
Now with the thrash legends becoming the latest of inductees into the legendary Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and with "Death Magnetic" receiving 3 Grammy nominations including one for Best Rock Album/Recording Package, they have secured themselves as kings over all that is metal . Now with their hand firmly holding the heavy metal grail, Metallica continue their assault in Europe beginning early February as they continue to "Seek & Destroy".

Have a kidney infection? Try celery
By Pure Matters
Celery is a low-calorie vegetable that is high in dietary fiber; use of it can be traced back to the 7th century. Celery seeds have been used in pills since around 30 AD. One cup of raw celery contains about 19 calories. It is high in vitamin K and can also help with respiratory problems, arthritis, and kidney issues.
Celery allergies are comparable to the severity of peanut allergies in some cases. Celery should not be used during pregnancy or if you are suffering from a kidney infection. Celery can be found in capsule and fluid extract form.

Web design course
I have successfully completed a web design course. Yay!! The course ended in August and I passed. Double Yay!! The course included languages such as HTML, CSS, XML, XSLT, RSS and Javascript. That was quite a mouthful. I completed quite a few projects including a web portfolio in the form of a website which contains links to all the other projects. A couple of other projects include a game of dice, and an interactive web site. I am going to be publishing all these projects and linking to them from my blog.
I have enrolled in a new course for web programming. I will be studying programming languages such as PHP and MySQL databases. Sounds like fun doesn't it! Anyway once I have this course completed I think I will be ready to start offering my services to some web companies, getting some very much needed experience.
And since I have come such a long way with web design, I have also decided to update the design of my blog. I have already decided the new style and design and it looks great in my head. I just have to make or get a hold of some good pictures to make it a reality. I hope you will like it.
Another decision I have made is to blog more often. I have not been using this blog as intended and that is definitely reflected in the amount of visitors. The more frequently you blog, the more you show up on search engines (with a little help from SEO), and I have been very sloppy with that.
Well that's it for today.

Ladies and Gentlemen: We'd like to introduce you to our son!
Isn't he precious?!? We are absolutely over the moon! His Congolese name is Dieudonne. (Pronounced Dyuu-doh-nay) It is French, meaning "God's gift." Could that be any more appropriate? He is around 6-7 months old and was abandoned at the Jamma Letu orphanage in July. He appears to be healthy as a horse! I have been staring at his sweet picture for hours and am already madly in love! When Sadie first saw Dieudonne's pictures she exclaimed, "He looks just like Noah!" Not sure about that, but he definitely looks like he belongs in our family!
We will begin court proceedings in DRC this week. From here, if things move quickly, we could bring him home in as little as 3 months. If things move slowly, it could take up to 6 months. Please pray that our sweet, precious, little boy continues to stay healthy and that the courts can move at lightning speed so we bring him home as soon as possible. I am just dying to squeeze him and love on those sweet cheeks!

India takes on offshoring naysayers
Income and morality are not linked
An ambassador for the Indian software industry has been trying to wipe up the dirt that was smeared on his compatriots last month after an HSBC call-centre worker was arrested for allegedly defrauding UK customers.
Visiting the UK last week, Nasscom (National Association of Software and Services Companies) vice president Sunil Mehta wanted to correct the perception that as Indian workers were paid less money, they were more likely to commit fraud.
"If morality was a function of income then the most rich would be the most honest," Mehta told The Register after concluding a meeting with union Amicus.
In June, an Indian worker was arrested for allegedly defrauding £233,000 from the accounts of about 20 HSBC customers. However, the Royal Bank of Scotland lost nearly 100 times that amount of money (£21m) to a man working for the bank in Edinburgh.
The story of his being jailed for 10 years broke almost simultaneously with that of the comparatively minor Indian fraud. But that was not all that was overlooked.
HSBC had insisted that its Indian centres suffered less fraud than those based in the UK. The Financial Services Authority (FSA) said British banks are more reluctant to report or prosecute their inhouse fraudsters, as doing so could tarnish their reputations.
The under-reporting of fraud of all types is "chronic" in the UK, according to the Attorney General's review of fraud published yesterday. Part of the review's remit is to determine the true extent of fraud in Britain.
According to Ernst & Young, three quarters of all fraud occurs in developed markets.
BDO Stoy Hayward said reported incidents of fraud in UK banks totalled £1bn in 2005.
Whatever the amount of unreported fraud, "mounting fraud losses" had become so problematic for Britain's financial institutions last year they decided they could no longer sweep it under the carpet, the FSA said in January.
Indian services firms, on the other hand, have had to try harder to prevent fraud. They went as far as a biometric database of employees working in the Indian offshore services industry. The Reserve Bank of India could end up vetting outsourcing arrangements.
The trade for personal data has become so rife in the UK that the government is now officially considering a two-year prison sentence for anyone caught flogging personal data.
The Department for Constitutional Affairs was forced this week, following the advice of the Information Commissioner, to open a consultation on the matter.
Few have noted this despicable irony. At least Forrester Research analyst Sudin Apte has reported that "media glare" will harm India's offshore industry, even though its outsourcing firms take more precautions to protect themselves from fraud. ®

Thunar is a file manager that is designed to be fast, lightweight, and easy-to-use. A standard installation of xfce4 will contain Thunar, but it can be used with other standalone window managers.

- 2 Automounting
- 3 Thunar Volume Manager
- 4 Tips and Tricks
- 5 Other plugins and addons
- 6 Custom actions
- 7 Links and References
Install the thunar package which is available in the official repositories.
If you are running Xfce4, you probably already have Thunar installed.
Thunar and Xfce4 are in transition from using HAL and ThunarVFS, being currently deprecated, to using GIO, ConsoleKit, PolicyKit and the kernel udev architecture for detecting and automounting removable media. All the information is actual as of 16 August 2011 and Xfce 4.8.
Installations of gvfs and polkit-gnome are required for automounting, available in Official Repositories.
Without polkit-gnome XFCE cannot request password authorisations from a user and password authorisation is required by default for interal mounting on Arch Linux.
You may need to restart your machine after installation.
Storage group
You need to make sure that your user account is a member of the storage group.
$ groups
lp wheel games video audio optical storage scanner power users
If it is not, be sure to include the user in the storage group of
/etc/group using the following command:
# usermod -a -G storage <user>
If you are using a display manager to start your window manager or desktop environment session, see the display manager documentation to properly start your session with PolicyKit. For example, starting PolicyKit when using SLiM.
If you are not using a display manager, include
ck-launch-session and
dbus-launch (in that order) before the command to launch the window manager or desktop environment in ~/.xinitrc: see the specific article for your WM or DE, e.g. Xfce. For example:
exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch <your wm>
Note that
ck-launch-session comes before
dbus-launch. If you do them the other way around you might get "Not authorized" errors when you try to mount your drive. See this forum thread and bug report FS#25031.
In case your session is set up properly with PolicyKit you should at least be able to shutdown and restart your system using the GUI.
GVFS and trash issue
If automounting is still not working you will finally need GVFS:
# pacman -S gvfs
This should also help to enable trash if you have no trash icon on the desktop and adding a trash applet on the taskbar creates a red circle with a white minus instead with the error message saying
FAILED TO CONNECT TO THE TRASH. Operation not supported.
when clicking on it.
Mounting problems after package update
Even if mounting usually works, after some package update it breaks, leaving you with the "Not Authorized" error. Solution is to configure PolicyKit to allow mounting for users in storage group, regardless of the state of their session, by writing as root to file
[storage group mount override] Identity=unix-group:storage Action=org.freedesktop.udisks.filesystem-mount ResultAny=yes ResultInactive=yes ResultActive=yes
Results should be instantaneous.
If you're running latest Arch Linux , default version of udisks installed was version 2:
[storage group mount override] Identity=unix-group:storage Action=org.freedesktop.udisks2.filesystem-mount ResultAny=yes ResultInactive=yes ResultActive=yes
Thunar Volume Manager
While Thunar can support automatic mounting and unmounting of removable media, the Thunar Volume Manager allows extended functionality, such as auto-running commands or automatically opening a Thunar window for mounted media.
It can be installed by running:
# pacman -S thunar-volman
It can also be configured to execute certain actions when cameras and audio players are connected. After installing the plugin:
- Launch Thunar and go to Edit -> Preferences
- Under the 'Advanced' tab, check 'Enable Volume Management'
- Click configure and check the following items:
- Mount removable drives when hot-pluged.
- Mount removable media when inserted.
- Also make desired changes (see the example below)
Here's an example setting for making Amarok play an audio CD.
Multimedia - Audio CDs:
amarok --cdplay %d
Tips and Tricks
Using Thunar to browse remote locations
Since Xfce 4.8 (Thunar 1.2) it is possible to browse remote locations (such as FTP servers or Samba shares) directly in Thunar, similar to the functionality found in GNOME and KDE. The necessary packages can be installed by running:
# pacman -S gvfs gvfs-smb
After a restart of Xfce there is an additional "Network" entry in Thunar's side bar and remote locations can be opened by using the following URIs in the location dialog (CTRL+L): smb://, ftp://, ssh://
Starting in Daemon Mode
Thunar may be run in daemon mode. This has several advantages including a faster startup for Thunar as well as Thunar running in the background and only opening a window when necessary (for instance, when a flash drive is inserted).
One option is to autostart it using
.xinitrc or an autostart script (such as Openbox's
autostart). It is up to you to decide the best way to start it, and this option can be run from a script or run directly as a command in the terminal.
To run it in daemon mode, simply add to your autostart script or run from the terminal:
$ thunar --daemon &
Eliminating Conflicts
If you have hal and autofs running at the same time, you will have a lock in hal-mtab. To avoid this, use only one of them.
If you cannot get automount running and start your window manager via
.xinitrc you maybe want to change the start line for your window manger from
$ exec /usr/bin/dwm
$ exec ck-launch-session /usr/bin/dwm
Setting the Icon Theme
When using Thunar outside of Gnome or Xfce, certain packages and configurations that control which icons are used may be missing. Window Managers like Awesome and Xmonad do not come with XSettings managers, which is where Thunar looks first for it's icon setting. It is possible to install and run xfce-mcs-manager from a startup script if many Xfce4 and Gnome applications are going to be used. The gtk-icon-theme-name setting for gtk2 can be set for a user by adding something like the following to
gtk-icon-theme-name = "Tango"
Of course, just installing the gnome-icon-them package will give Thunar an icon theme to use other than the default paper icon for all items.
# pacman -S gnome-icon-theme
Solving problem with slow cold start
Some people still have problems with Thunar taking a long time to start for the first time. This is due to gvfs checking the network and Thunar won't show up before gvfs finishes. To change this behaviour:
# nano /usr/share/gvfs/mounts/network.mount
and change AutoMount=true to AutoMount=false.
Other plugins and addons
Many of these plugins are part of the xfce4-goodies group, so if you have downloaded it, you will probably have all of these anyway.
Thunar Archive Plugin
The Thunar Archive Plugin is a frontend to file archive software such as File Roller, Ark, or Xarchiver to allow a simple, consistent interface to opening and decompressing archives.
It can be installed by running:
# pacman -S thunar-archive-plugin
Thunar Media Tags Plugin
The media tags plugin will display detailed information about media files. It supports ID3 (the MP3 file format's system) and Ogg/Vorbis tags. It also has a bulk renamer and allows editing of media tags.
It can be installed by running:
# pacman -S thunar-media-tags-plugin
Thunar thumbnails
Thunar relies on an external program called tumbler to generate thumbnails. tumbler can be installed from [extra].
# pacman -S tumbler
To generate video thumbnails, you have to install additional programs. There are two options.
First, you can install ffmpegthumbnailer.
# pacman -S ffmpegthumbnailer
Second, you can install gstreamer0.10 and gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg, just in case ffmpegthumbnailer doesn't work.
# pacman -S gstreamer0.10 # pacman -S gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg
The Thunar Shares Plugin allows you to quickly share a folder using Samba from Thunar without requiring root access.
Install thunar-shares-plugin package from the AUR.
This marks the named objects for automatic export to the environment of subsequently executed commands:
# export USERSHARES_DIR="/var/lib/samba/usershares" # export USERSHARES_GROUP="sambashare"
This creates the usershares directory in var/lib/samba:
# mkdir -p ${USERSHARES_DIR}
This makes the group sambashare:
# groupadd ${USERSHARES_GROUP}
This changes the owner of the directory and group you just created to root:
# chown root:${USERSHARES_GROUP} ${USERSHARES_DIR}
This changes the permissions of the usershares directory so that users in the group sambashare can read, write and execute files:
# chmod 01770 ${USERSHARES_DIR}
Using your favorite text editor as root, create the file
# joe /etc/samba/smb.conf
Use this
smb.conf configuration file:
##This is the main Samba configuration file. You should read the ##smb.conf(5) manual page in order to understand the options listed ##here. Samba has a huge number of configurable options (perhaps too ##many!) most of which are not shown in this example ## ##For a step to step guide on installing, configuring and using samba, ## read the Samba-HOWTO-Collection. This may be obtained from: ## http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba-HOWTO-Collection.pdf ## ## Many working examples of smb.conf files can be found in the ## Samba-Guide which is generated daily and can be downloaded from: ## http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba-Guide.pdf ## ## Any line which starts with a ; (semi-colon) or a # (hash) ## is a comment and is ignored. In this example we will use a # ## for commentry and a ; for parts of the config file that you ## may wish to enable ## ## NOTE: Whenever you modify this file you should run the command "testparm" ## to check that you have not made any basic syntactic errors. ## #[global] # workgroup = WORKGROUP # security = share # server string = My Share # load printers = yes # log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log # max log size = 50 # usershare path = /var/lib/samba/usershares # usershare max shares = 100 # usershare allow guests = yes # usershare owner only = yes # # # #Windows Internet Name Serving Support Section: # # #WINS Support - Tells the NMBD component of Samba to enable it's WINS Server #; wins support = yes # ## WINS Server - Tells the NMBD components of Samba to be a WINS Client ## Note: Samba can be either a WINS Server, or a WINS Client, but NOT both #; wins server = w.x.y.z # ##WINS Proxy - Tells Samba to answer name resolution queries on ## behalf of a non WINS capable client, for this to work there must be ## at least one WINS Server on the network. The default is NO. #; wins proxy = yes
Save the file and then add your user to the group sambashares replacing "your_username" with the name of your user:
# usermod -a -G <USERSHARES_GROUP> your_username
Restart Samba:
# /etc/rc.d/samba restart
Log out and log back in. You should now be able to right click on any directory and share it on the network.
When the error
You are not the owner of the folder appears, simply try to reboot the system.
To have samba start at boot, add samba to daemons in your
/etc/rc.conf file.
For more information, visit the Samba wiki page.
Custom actions
This section covers useful custom actions which can be accessed through Edit -> Configure custom actions. More examples are listed in the thunar wiki.
Scan for viruses
To use this action you need to have clamav and clamtk installed.

Please note that when using many custom actions to symlink files and folder to a particular place, it might be useful to put them into the
Send To folder of the context menu to avoid that the menu itself gets bloated. This is fairly easy to achieve and requires a .desktop file in
~/.local/share/Thunar/sendto for each action to perform. Say we want to put the above dropbox symlink action into Send To, we create a
dropbox_folder.desktop with the following content. The new applied action will be active after restarting Thunar.
