File/Folder/Share Permissions for DBAs and Database Developers

Every so often I run into a fellow DBA or database developer who isn't crystal clear on how file/folder and share permissions play together. If you're an MCSE or an experienced system administrator, this should be old hat for you. However, given that I've come across it enough, I thought it might make for a good blog post.

File/Folder Permissions

First, separate file/folder permissions from share permissions. We'll bring them back together in a moment. Let's just start with file/folder permissions. And we'll keep it simple. The ones that often come into play are the following:

  • Read - Allows you to read the contents of the file or folder. If you are talking about a file, this allows you to open up the file or copy the file. If you are talking about a folder, it allows you to see the contents of that folder.
  • Write  - Again, as the name implies, it allows you to write to the file or folder. Note that Write alone doesn't give delete permissions, but it might as well. There's nothing stopping you from writing a file that is empty, thereby destroying the previous contents.
  • Modify - Allows read, write, and delete.
  • Full Control - Same as modify + the ability to assign permissions.

Most of the time you're only looking to use read or write in a ETL task or the like. Full control should almost never be needed. You don't usually want your process modifying permissions on files and folders. Now, once we understand the basic permissions, let's talk about how Windows takes those permissions to determine what a user actually has. Unless there is an explicit DENY (like in SQL Server), the operating system aggregates the permissions. For instance, assume user John is a member of the following security groups ETL Users and Support. The permissions assigned to these groups are:

  • John - none are explicitly assigned because the best practice is to use security groups wherever possible.
  • ETL Users - Read permissions on the folder.
  • Support - Write permissions on the folder.

When we put those together, John will have both read and write permissions since the permissions are aggregated. Now, let's say that John is placed in another group, called DBAs. And DBAs have full control. Again, when we aggregate the permissions, John will end up with full control because it comprises read, write, and more. Let's take it one more step and say John is placed in the Developers group. Now the Developers group has a DENY on write. So if we look at all the permissions, we get:

  • John - none are explicitly assigned because the best practice is to use security groups wherever possible.
  • ETL Users - Read permissions on the folder.
  • Support - Write permissions on the folder.
  • DBAs - Full control on the folder.
  • Developers - Deny write on the folder.
  • John will have all the permissions given to full control EXCEPT write permissions. The operating system and SQL Server treat the DENY permission the same: it acts as a trump, regardless of the other permissions.

    There is one other thing I need to speak on here and that's the concept of inheritance. A file in a folder or a subfolder will, by default, inherit the permissions of the parent folder. You can add to these permissions, but if you want to continue inheriting permissions, you can't take any permissions away (though you could use DENY). So if the parent folder gives a group Full Control but on the subfolder you want the group to only have Read, inheritance isn't going to work. With that said, it is possible to break inheritance. And what this does is allow you to set whatever permissions you want on that file or subfolder, regardless of what the permissions are on the parent folder. However, you must then set and maintain the permissions manually. For instance, if I have a folder called C:\ETL where the security group ETL processes has Modify permissions (the ability to read, write, and delete files) but there is a subfolder C:\ETL\archive where I only want them to have Read permissions, I will have to break the inheritance on C:\ETL\archive and then I will have to set the permissions I want manually.

    Share Permissions

    Now that we've got the basics of file/folder permissions, let's look at share permissions. Share permissions are like file/folder permissions in that they aggregate and they handle DENY permissions in the same way. With respect to share permissions, there are only a few of them and they are rather straight-forward:

    • Read - Allows you to read the contents on the share.
    • Change - Allows you to read, write, and delete contents on the share.
    • Full control - Change + the ability to modify permissions.

    I won't go through an example since share permissions function the same way as File/Folder permissions.

    Putting the Two Together

    If the file/folder access is happening on the same computer, not going through the share, then only file/folder permissions apply. For instance, if I'm looking to read C:\temp\someDoc.txt on my local system, only file/folder permissions are in effect. I'm not going through a share, so the operating system won't consider the share permissions. But once I go through a share, such as if C:\ETL had a share on it, ETL$, and I access files through it, then both sets of permissions come into play. Here's how the operating system resolves what the effective set of permissions are:

    1. It aggregates the file/folder permissions for the resource (the file or folder) being accessed.
    2. It aggregates the share permissions for the share.
    3. It compares the two sets of permissions and takes the MOST restrictive.

    So if I have Change permissions on the ETL$ share (which exposes C:\ETL from the example above), but I only have Read file/folder permissions on the archive subfolder (C:\ETL\archive - see the explanation of inheritance above) that I'm accessing through that share, the most restrictive permission is Read. So when accessing the archive subfolder, I only have Read permissions. At the root of the share, which corresponds to C:\ETL (again, see the explanation of inheritance above), I have Modify permissions. Modify is effectively the same as Change, so I would have the ability to read, write, and delete files at that root level.

    Another example is where a user has Full control permissions at the file/folder level but has Read permissions at the share. If the user is accessing a file on the computer locally, then the user can do anything he or she wants. But if the user comes through the share, the user can only read the file. That's because the share permissions are most restrictive.

    And there you have it, a quick primer on file/folder/share permissions.

    Thank you for a very clear explanation. I am one of those that was a little hazy. Not any more now!

    Posted by Randy on 27 July 2009

    Unfortunatley it seems thatthis no longer holds true in Windows 2008. As recently tested, share permissions can now over-ride File system permissions. Read permissions on the filesystem and full control on the share, now allows writing to the share. (where the folder perms should restict to read-only). We assume this is a bug or glitch - we'll see if it becomes permanant in future releases.

    Posted by K. Brian Kelley on 28 July 2009

    It's not a bug or a glitch and the share permission isn't overriding... something I just tested. By default, in Windows Server 2008 users have a special permission to Create / Write Files and Folders. If you check the advanced properties under the security tab and navigate down, you'll see it. It's inherited from root. This does not make me very happy.

    Thanks Brian, good article.  For all the reasons you've explained above, it is a good idea to set share permissions to Authenticated Users: Full Control (which effectively takes them out of the equation) and then use file/folder permissions to manage security.  It's much simpler, just as secure and can save a whole load of grief trying to work out why something doesn't work as it should.

    Posted by phoenixrising1599 on 18 November 2015  FINALLY, beating my head on a wall for two day to get a straight answer on Share and NTFS permissions and how they aggregate and what happens if I set deny on anything.  Glad I stopped and researched.  I should have come here FIRST!

Upgrade or Wait

By Steve Jones, 2007/07/11

Lots of debate and disagreement on my recommendation to wait for SQL Server 2008 instead of upgrading to SQL Server 2005 now. What's funny is that I wrote the recommendation a few weeks ago and the day before I scheduled it to release, MS announced a Feb date for 2008.

I can agree that people are nervous about SS2K8, and Microsoft could definitely mess it up at RTM. After all, they have issues with service packs in quite a few of their products (SS2K SP3 became SP3a, Ss2K5 SP2 got rereleased), but I don't think they well. My thoughts were that based on past history, SS2K8 is really a "R2" product, a point release, but they've included enough features, like the policy stuff, that they can sell it as a new version. While I don't agree with that as a customer, I can see why they do it.

So while I think you should wait to upgrade if you haven't already done so, I don't think you should ignore 2005 completely. It's a good platform to do some testing on and get ready for 2008. I doubt 2008 functions much differently, so 2005 can help you prepare, test DTS->SSIS upgrades, etc. and then I'd upgrade next spring, prob late March, early April. That way you can wait until 2014 to upgrade again instead of being pushed out of 2005 in 2011.

Also, if you want to upgrade every other release, because you want a fairly stable platform, I'd get on the 2000/2008/2014 cycle, not the 7.0/2005/2011 cycle. The latter are the "1.0"s of each version of the platform. If you go back to 6.0/6.5, you'd much rather have gone from 6.5 -> 2000 than 6.0->7.0

ENO adds ‘danger and sex’ to Johann Strauss operetta

Click to follow
The Evening Standard

English National Opera is turning to more sex for its latest production.

The comic operetta Die Fledermaus by Johann Strauss has been updated to the hedonistic Vienna of the Thirties for a show of champagne-fuelled sex scenes, Freudian fantasies and bondage. Director Christopher Alden said the work would be “kind of dangerous and sexy”. He said people working in opera thought a lot about how to engage young people in a genre seen as “an art form from the past”.

Die Fledermaus opens tonight and runs until November 6.

Russia's President Vladimir Putin said today it would be "utter nonsense" for the Syrian Government to use chemical weapons when it was winning its war with rebels, and urged US President Barack Obama not to attack Syrian forces.

The United States said yesterday it was planning a limited military response to punish Syria's President Bashar al-Assad for a "brutal and flagrant" chemical weapons attack it says killed more than 1,400 people in Damascus 10 days ago.

Putin said that if Obama had evidence Assad's forces had the chemical weapons and launched the attack, Washington should present it to the UN weapons inspectors and the Security Council.

"I am convinced that it (the chemical attack) is nothing more than a provocation by those who want to drag other countries into the Syrian conflict, and who want to win the support of powerful members of the international arena, especially the United States," Putin said.

The Russian president said Obama, as a Nobel Peace Prize laureate, should remember the impact any US attack would have on Syrian civilians.

World powers should discuss the Syrian crisis at a meeting of the leaders of the Group of 20 developed and developing nations in St Petersburg next week, he added. "This (G20 summit) is a good platform to discuss the problem. Why not use it?" Putin said.

Brown plea over climate change deal

Click to follow
The Evening Standard
Gordon Brown has demanded more ambition from countries deadlocked in climate change talks but conceded that it could take up to a year to secure a binding international deal on global warming.

With the Copenhagen negotiations mired in procedural wrangles, the Prime Minister used his keynote speech to appeal for "the highest possible level of ambition".

UK officials conceded that the process was in "serious difficulty" with time running out for deep disputes among the 192 nations to be resolved before world leaders try to finalise agreement on Friday.

In a last-ditch bid to end the impasse, Mr Brown told delegates: "My talks this week convince me that while the challenges we face are difficult and testing, there is no insuperable barrier of finance, no inevitable deficit of political will, no insurmountable wall of division that need prevent us from rising to the needed common purpose and ... reaching agreement now.

"In these few days in Copenhagen, which will be blessed or blamed for generations to come, we cannot permit the politics of narrow self-interest to prevent a policy for human survival."

He called on richer states such as the US and European countries to offer the maximum possible reductions in emissions and to pledge not to cut other aid to pay for long-term help for the developing world. Poorer nations also had to raise their ambitions, he warned, and he said agreement was needed on transparency to ensure commitments were met.

That is a potential sticking point with China, with whose premier Wen Jiabao he will hold the latest of a series of bilateral discussions on Thursday.

But Mr Brown, who has in recent days put a six-month deadline on turning any political agreement signed in Copenhagen into a legally-binding treaty, said twice that time could be needed.

He said: "I come to this, the largest ever global conference, facing the greatest global challenge of our time, to appeal to you to summon up the highest level of ambition and will.

"And the success of our endeavours depends on us forging a new alliance, the first global alliance of 192 - not one bloc against another, not rich against poor - but a new alliance for the preservation of our planet."

Jens Lehmann in talks over Arsenal return

Click to follow
ES Sport
Jens Lehmann is poised to come out of retirement and make a remarkable return to Arsenal on an emergency loan deal three years after leaving the club.

Lehmann, 41, is in talks with the Gunners about returning to Emirates Stadium to ease the club's injury crisis.

Manuel Almunia is currently Arsenal's only fit senior goalkeeper, with both Wojciech Szczesny and Lukasz Fabianski sidelined for the long-term, and manager Arsene Wenger revealed last week that he was looking to bring in a goalkeeper on a temporary basis.

Lehmann was due to spend six weeks at Arsenal's London Colney training ground anyway for a coaching course. He indicated at the weekend that he would be open to rejoining the playing staff if asked.

"I am in London and have so far heard nothing of such plans, but you never know," he told a German newspaper.

The eccentric Lehmann had a hugely successful but also eventful five-year career with Arsenal.

In his first season, he played in the side that claimed the 2004 Premier League title without losing a game, and his penalty shoot-out save from Paul Scholes in the 2005 FA Cup Final enabled the Gunners to win their last major trophy.

Yet there were lows to go with the highs. Lehmann was sent off during the first half of the 2006 Champions League Final, in which Arsenal were beaten 2-1 by Barcelona, and also fell out with Almunia when both players were competing for the No1 shirt.

After leaving Arsenal in the summer of 2008, Lehmann moved to Stuttgart. He spent two years with the Bundesliga club before announcing he would retire from the game last summer - but he is now close to making a stunning comeback for the club where he established his reputation.

The controversial Lehmann won 61 caps for Germany but had a fierce battle with Oliver Kahn for the No1 shirt.

Sense of anger gives Lauren extra edge

Click to follow
ES Sport
No one felt a greater sense of injustice than Lauren when he was handed his punishment by the Football Association for his part in the Old Trafford melee that followed Arsenal's goalless draw with Manchester United in late September.

Television replays - and there have been enough of them in the past five weeks - fail to provide conclusive evidence as to why the Cameroon international defender should have been singled out as the major villain from the five offending Arsenal players who jostled United striker Ruud van Nistelrooy.

Yet he was. He was given a four-match ban and fined £40,000 - 10 times the amount England were ordered to pay by UEFA following their tunnel bust-up in Istanbul.

His manager Arsene Wenger understands his anger, even if his turn of phrase was somewhat puzzling. "When you are told you have to pay that much you are not exactly going to jump off the roof with joy," said Wenger.

Club policy forbids Lauren, a £4million signing from Real Mallorca three years ago, from commenting on any grievance he may harbour but it is clear that while Ray Parlour, Martin Keown, Patrick Vieira and Ashley Cole will avoid any resort to the appeals procedure, Lauren has yet to be convinced of the value of biting the bullet.

But what he will talk about is how he has handled the situation - in the build-up to the FA verdicts last week and in the aftermath. If the ban is accepted, then Lauren will not play until 6 December at Leicester. Yet he has never previously been summoned to FA headquarters for any misdemeanours or even been sent off during his time in England.

"We all wish what took place at Old Trafford had not happened," said the 26-year-old. "But it did. And all I have been able to do is be professional, focus on the games and concentrate on my football. I have done my best and that's it. All the time the incident is on the television and it is not nice. You feel everybody is looking at you. But you have to take it on the chin. I hope it won't happen again."

If tomorrow is to be Lauren's sign-off for a month then he could not have chosen a more severe test of nerve as the battle for bragging rights in north London resumes. "This is a massive game, one that everyone waits for every year."

Two years ago, he endeared himself forever to the Highbury fans when he struck home the winning goal in a 2-1 win for Arsenal. "All the week, the talk is about the game. It is one that both teams want to win. At Arsenal, we like to win and we like to win by playing well. But against Tottenham - you just have to win. You need so much mental strength because the atmosphere is very different and the noise from the crowd is remarkable.

"All you can do is try to concentrate. It is difficult but you have to try to do it. It is a dreadful feeling when you are on the losing team. It doesn't matter if you play well."

Arsenal will no doubt be buoyant after the last-gasp win over Dynamo Kiev on Wednesday night that turned their Champions League hopes from a flicker into a flame.

A draw against the Ukrainians and they were all but out. Thanks to Ashley Cole, the chances of reaching the lucrative knock-out stages have been revived and that will be a valuable psychological weapon.

Lauren admitted: "It was a pressure game and we won it. We hadn't won in the Champions League for so long and this was the time we had to get a victory. That has kept the spirits high and now the aim is to get three more points so we can keep the momentum going and stay at the top of the Premiership.

"We have done well so far and we want to continue winning. It is as simple as that."

But what of Tottenham? Lauren may only have been a north London resident for just over three years but he is aware of the cliche that in derby games, form goes out of the window. He will also be aware that Tottenham have been less than impressive this season but was unwilling to give their great rivals even a morsel of disrespect that could be used against his side.

"The position in the league doesn't mean anything," he said. "You have to be strong and win the game. That is what derby games are all about. I have learned that much."

A win would be the perfect send-off for what looks like being an unwanted holiday for Lauren.

Injury blow for Lescott

Click to follow
The Evening Standard
England defender Joleon Lescott has suffered a hamstring injury and will have a scan to determine the extent of the problem, Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini has confirmed.

Lescott picked up the problem during the warm-up of the 2-1 Barclays Premier League win at Fulham and is the latest player to give Fabio Capello a fitness scare. David Beckham is out of the World Cup with a ruptured Achilles, Ashley Cole has a serious ankle injury, Aaron Lennon has a groin problem and last week Jermain Defoe tore his hamstring.

"Joleon had a problem before the game in the warm-up, a muscle," said Mancini.

"I think he can't play against Everton. At the moment I don't know how long he'll be out. He'll have a scan."

EAGLES have claimed back-to-back Warrnambool Volleyball Association division one championships.

The seven-member squad completed a clean sweep against Sea Cats in the top-grade decider at The Arc on Tuesday night.

The 25-21, 25-20, 25-20 victory came despite the efforts of Sea Cats’ Martin Van Rooy, who earned most valuable player honours.

Eagles captain Daniel Hand said the win was hard-earned by his side, which lost players in the off-season as officials sought to even up the competition.

Hand, Cameron Pyke, Tom Beks, Ryan Bunney, Michael Beks, Alister Jenkins and Engin Torun made up the successful side.

“This is back-to-back for us. Before that I played in five or six grand finals and lost every one,” Hand said.

The victory came after Eagles went through the regular season undefeated but lost to Sea Cats in the second semi-final.

Hand conceded his men were “a bit cocky” entering finals but regrouped. He lauded the efforts of centre blocker Pyke in the final.

“We managed to get a lot of balls through the middle to Pykey, which they couldn’t counteract because they didn’t have the centre blockers,” he said.

“It was his size and we were running a lot of quick balls. And we probably played the percentages more than we have.”

Sea Cats’ defeat had a silver lining, with Luke Hoy claiming the division one best-and-fairest award for a consistent season.

In other grades, the division two grand final went down to the wire, with Pirates defeating The Crew in a five-set thriller.

The premiers dropped the second and third sets but stormed home to win 25-22, 23-25, 24-26, 25-20, 15-12, the closest match of the night.

Umpires declared The Crew’s Rick Bayne the most valuable player, while best-and-fairest honours went to Pirates stalwart Eleanor Collins.

Raiders defeated Stingrays 25-23, 25-22, 15-25, 25-17 in the division three grand final. Stingrays’ Bec Cain was the most valuable player.

WVA division co-ordinator Anthony Smith said 14 sides contested the summer season — five in division one and nine in division two.

History says pick a major champion to win the Open Championship at Muirfield.

History says pick a major champion to win the Open Championship at Muirfield.
The tournament has visited this beauty 15 times. In the modern era, it has delivered winners familiar to even those casual sports fans who will only pay attention to the golf in Scotland this week because other viable viewing options are scarce.
Vardon, Hagen, Player, Nicklaus, Trevino, Watson, Faldo (twice) and Els won there. So did Henry Cotton, one of his three Open titles.
The competitors this week find a firm, burnt layout, one that’s been tweaked (i.e., lengthened 158 yards) since Els survived a four-man playoff in 2002. Tiger Woods shot 81 in horrible conditions in the third round that week, squelching his shot at a Grand Slam. Despite that debacle, he tied for 28th. Although he’s been on the mend for the last month, Woods is likely to be a factor this week. He’s always a good pick when his forever vulnerable driver can remain under cover.
But he’s always excluded from these hopeful stabs at selecting a holder of the Claret Jug, anyway.
So, remembering the lessons learned in years past, here are five others who should be in the mix Sunday as noon approaches in the Eastern time zone.
1. Ernie Els. Can last year’s champion pull off the double repeat? Yes, but it depends on his putting. He was impressive in winning the BMW International in Germany last month, however, Els ranks just 94th on the PGA Tour in Strokes Gained Putting this year. Still, his track record on the course and love for links golf makes the smooth South African a strong pick.
2. Graeme McDowell. The riskiest of picks, it’s been win or go home for our favorite Irishman the last two months. But he has more trophies than anyone not named Tiger this year (three), on both sides of the Atlantic, including two weeks ago in France. Also, the 2011 U.S. Open champion would love to wash away the 75 he shot from the last pairing in the final round a year ago.
3. Adam Scott. Since his thrilling victory at Augusta, the golfer most likely to land in GQ has not registered a top-20 finish. No cause for concern. The majors are the focus of Scott’s year and he refused to let last year’s disappointment at Royal Lytham & St Annes define his career. He enters prepared and confident, with the ability to hit whatever shot is required.
4. Phil Mickelson. Nothing short of playing a full round righthanded should be surprising coming from Phil, who won the Scottish Open last week as only he can. He’s rejuvenated, swinging well and has five top-3 finishes on the PGA Tour and $3.4 million in earnings in 2013 as proof.
5. Charl Schwartzel. Perhaps a stretch, considering his putrid 71.78 final-round stroke average, which is 134th on the PGA Tour this season. Yet, with a golf swing that pure, a run up the leaderboard is just two holed 15-footers away. His textbook swing plane and dreamy rhythm make him this generation’s Steve Elkington, and the Elk was one of the three golfers Els beat at Muirfield in 2002.

The Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired bridge which carries traffic on 3rd Avenue S. over Interstate 94 near the Minneapolis Convention Center officially becomes the Sharon Sayles Belton Bridge Tuesday night.

Appearances by dignataries along with a live performance by Larry Long, Robert Robinson, J.D. Steele and Tonia Hughes are among the festivities that will take place during a dedication at 7 p.m. on 3rd Avenue at 16th Street.  A new metal sculpture honoring Sayles Belton's accomplishments also will be unveiled.

Sayles Belton was mayor when the iconic bridge was built in 2000 and held the position from 1994 to 2001. She was the first woman and first black resident to hold the post.

The dedication is part of scheduled renovation, which includes restoration of the colored sidewalk, maintenance of the bridge facade and railing, and upgrading the light fixtures to energy-efficient LED lights.

You can use the cor( ) function to produce correlations and the cov( ) function to produces covariances.

A simplified format is cor(x, use=, method= ) where

Option Description
x Matrix or data frame
use Specifies the handling of missing data. Options are all.obs (assumes no missing data - missing data will produce an error), complete.obs (listwise deletion), and pairwise.complete.obs (pairwise deletion)
method Specifies the type of correlation. Options are pearson, spearman or kendall.

# Correlations/covariances among numeric variables in
# data frame mtcars. Use listwise deletion of missing data.
cor(mtcars, use="complete.obs", method="kendall")
cov(mtcars, use="complete.obs")

Unfortunately, neither cor( ) or cov( ) produce tests of significance, although you can use the cor.test( ) function to test a single correlation coefficient.

The rcorr( ) function in the Hmisc package produces correlations/covariances and significance levels for pearson and spearman correlations. However, input must be a matrix and pairwise deletion is used.

# Correlations with significance levels
rcorr(x, type="pearson") # type can be pearson or spearman

#mtcars is a data frame

You can use the format cor(X, Y) or rcorr(X, Y) to generate correlations between the columns of X and the columns of Y. This similar to the VAR and WITH commands in SAS PROC CORR.

# Correlation matrix from mtcars
# with mpg, cyl, and disp as rows
# and hp, drat, and wt as columns
x <- mtcars[1:3]
y <- mtcars[4:6]
cor(x, y)

Other Types of Correlations

# polychoric correlation
# x is a contingency table of counts

# heterogeneous correlations in one matrix
# pearson (numeric-numeric),
# polyserial (numeric-ordinal),
# and polychoric (ordinal-ordinal)
# x is a data frame with ordered factors
# and numeric variables

# partial correlations
pcor(c("a", "b", "x", "y", "z"), var(mydata))
# partial corr between a and b controlling for x, y, z

Visualizing Correlations

Use corrgram( ) to plot correlograms .

Use the pairs() or splom( ) to create scatterplot matrices.

How to Make Candy Topiary

Topiary is the practice of exercising live perennial plants by cutting the plants and branches of trees, shrubs and sub shrubs to create a clearly defined shape. It can be a geometric or a fanciful shape, and can be regarded as a form of art, moulding living things to make sculptures.

There are several popular Topiaries around the globe that are renowned for their exceptional and fine looks. Railton, Samban-Lei Sekpil, Royal Palace, Zarcero, Levens Hall and Topsham Railway Station are some of the most popular Topiaries in the world.

Topiaries have a long history, going back to the dates of Roman times. There usage was declined in the 18th century, but were revived in the 19th century.

There are several types of Topiaries as well, which are made by assembling different items to create a shape. Candy Topiary is one of the most fancied and much appreciated Topiaries among the young ones, and is mostly prepared at Birthdays and Christmas.

This candy topiary will be prepared in around 2 hours. However, the preparation time will be decreased dramatically if more than two hands are working along.

Tools and equipments that will be used to make a nice looking Candy Topiary:

Things Required:

– 7-inch flower pot
– 6-inch Styrofoam ball
– Styrofoam cone (18 inches tall by 6 inches wide)
– 18-inch-long, 3/4-inch-diameter dowel (stained)
– 4 to 5 bags of assorted fun-size candy bars
– 1 pound of twist wrapped candies
– Hot-glue gun
– Glue sticks

  • 1

    Take the flower pot, and place the Styrofoam ball inside it. Force a rod through the Styrofoam ball inside the flower pot. Poke holes into the cone. Glue the rod or dowel and attach the cone with it. Make sure that your glue gun is not set on high settings or it will crinkle the wrapper. Low settings will be fine.

    Image Courtesy:

  • 2

    Start attaching the first row of candies from the bottom of the cone. Make sure that all the wrappers are lined up properly and they extend around ½ inch below the base of the cone. Hold the candies until it is properly attached to the cone.

    Attach the second row of candies: Apply the glue at the top of wrapper, and make sure that there is a slight overlap of candy rows.

    Image Courtesy:

  • 3

    Continue gluing all the candies in rows around the cone all the way to the top of the rod.  When the cone is completely covered, place all the remaining candies at the bottom of pot.

Creating Proud Traditions

The Evolution of Founders Day

As part of the celebration of Villa Julie College’s 60th anniversary, a history book was published. During that process, researchers discovered that the first day of classes was held on Oct. 1, 1947. Subsequently, the first Founders Day ceremony was held on Oct. 1, 2007. Through the years, Founders Day has evolved into a festive celebration featuring such events as a tea with the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur; a picnic lunch for faculty, staff, and students; tours of the University Archives; and the entertaining Stevenson’s Got Talent student show.

Founders Day has also become an opportunity to recognize those who were critical to the growth and development of the institution. In 2008, the University dedicated three buildings on the Greenspring campus: the Carolyn Manuszak Student Union, the Rose Dawson Academic Center, and the Villa Julie Administration Building. The following Founders Day, the University dedicated the Ratcliffe Community Center on the Owings Mills Campus, and 2010 saw the dedication of the Stevenson University Archives, the Menning Meditation Center and Labyrinth, and the Harris and Hoeprich faculty houses, all on the Greenspring Campus.

dawson center

As with much at Stevenson, Commencement has grown in conjunction with the University. Initially, graduation ceremonies were conducted outside under a tent. When the Manuszak Center was built, the event was held inside. Over time, as the number of graduating students grew—along with the number of people who wanted to attend Commencement—the ceremony was moved to the Greenspring Gymnasium. Then the decision was made to hold one in the morning and one in the afternoon, and then the School of Graduate and Professional Studies began holding its own ceremony the evening before the undergraduate ceremonies.

Through the years, Commencement keynote speakers have had a diverse range of backgrounds—and advice. Some notable ones include Michael Ain, Kimberly Dozier, Wes Moore, and Jason Winer. (For a full list of speakers since 2000, see below.)

Part of the evolution of Commencement has been its symbols. The mace is considered a symbol of power. It is normally carried by the chief academic officer of the institution; at Stevenson, the mace currently is carried by Paul D. Lack, Ph.D., Executive Vice President of Academic Affairs.

Stevenson’s mace was designed and crafted by former faculty member Bush Greenbeck of the Villa Julie Theatre Department. It was made from wood that came from one of the “Seven Oaks” located near Knott Hall on the Greenspring Campus. Greenbeck later fashioned a Grand Mace and the smaller Processional Mace. In the head of each mace, he placed a penny from the year in which it was made.

At Stevenson, the tradition of the annual Convocation began in 2002 at the request of President Manning. The ceremony was to celebrate the new academic year with returning and new students as well as parents, faculty, and staff. Convocation is held every fall and has evolved through the years. In its first year, Convocation included a musical prelude, a processional, the National Anthem, a prayer of invocation, a welcome by the President, greetings from the faculty, a Convocation address, a presentation of the class, a benediction, and a recessional. In 2007, the Most Influential Educator Award was introduced, recognizing a high school teacher nominated in an essay by a first-year student. Since then, other additions have included a procession of student activity groups and varsity teams at Stevenson University as well as a performance of the Alma Mater by the Stevenson University Marching Band.

Homecoming + Family Week

Originally known as Villa Fest from 2002-2009, the celebration was renamed Homecoming Weekend in 2010. In 2014, because it had evolved into a week of activities, it was renamed Homecoming + Family Week. Students, faculty, staff, alumni, family, and friends are welcomed to several festivities throughout the week. These events include Mr. and Mrs. SU, happy hours, the bonfire, the Alumni Reunion Luncheon, family-friendly tailgating, the homecoming football game, the Crab Feast, and the Homecoming Dance. Homecoming + Family Week has something for everyone, and the spirit throughout is decidedly festive.

Student Move-In

Since Aug. 19, 2004, the date of the first Stevenson move-in on the new Owings Mills residential Campus, the University has continuously adapted its approach to provide a seamless move-in experience for students and parents. As the number of Stevenson resident students has grown to nearly 2,000, the Office of Student Affairs and Residence Life has developed a staggered schedule of arrival and drop-off times for new students while Campus Security has worked diligently to create an effective traffic flow pattern. A staple of the Stevenson move-in process, the SMILE (Student Move-In LEaders) Crew—student, staff, and faculty volunteers—were added to the mix to help ease the potentially hectic process by unloading students’ belongings and providing friendly faces.

Social Entrepreneurship Award

The lessons and accomplishments of nonprofit leaders were the inspiration for the creation of the University’s Social Entrepreneurship Award, launched in 2011. Presented during spring Commencement ceremonies every year, the award honors individuals who achieve high social returns for communities through transformative leadership and innovation. The inaugural winner was Darell Hammond, co-founder and CEO of KaBOOM!, a national nonprofit organization that helps communities build playgrounds for children. Other honorees include Jonathan Reckford, Chief Executive Officer of Habitat for Humanity International; Canadian philanthropist Craig Kielburger, Co-founder of Free the Children; Nancy Gianni, President and CEO of GiGi’s Playhouse; and Rev. John W. Swope, SJ, the Founding President of Baltimore’s Cristo Rey Jesuit High School (not pictured).

Re-creating the Alma Mater

In 2003, the original Villa Julie Alma Mater dating back to the 1950s was updated when faculty members Chip Rouse, Chair and Associate Professor of Business Communication, and Robert J. Suggs, D.M.A., Music Director and Conductor, teamed up to compose a new one at the prompting of President Manning. The songwriting duo was up to the challenge, with Rouse contributing the lyrics and Suggs the music. After the name change in summer 2008, the Alma Mater was again updated lyrically, but the original music stayed the same. Now, “Stevenson’s name we sing” proudly concludes every Commencement ceremony.

Blue U: A Way to Wellness

bocce ball game

In May 2009, Stevenson’s Office of Human Resources launched a new, robust wellness program to help employees take control of their health. That program transitioned into its current name, “Blue U,” inspired by Dan Buettner’s best-selling book, The Blue Zones, which focuses on the lifestyles of those in communities around the world where people are known to live longer and healthier lives. SU’s Blue U program has twice won the annual Baltimore Business Journal Healthiest Employer award. Staple activities of the Blue U program include onsite fitness classes, personalized fitness and weight-loss coaching, onsite biometric screenings, online health risk assessments, healthy cooking demonstrations, and social gatherings to build community and collegiality.

Baltimore Ravens Practice

The Baltimore Ravens held a public practice at Mustang Stadium on Aug. 19, 2012. This was a homecoming for the team, which won its first Super Bowl while training at their former Owings Mills facilities; the building and fields now comprise Stevenson’s Caves Sports and Wellness Center, Gymnasium, and Stadium. SU honored the occasion by inviting Linebacker Ray Lewis, who was a member of the 2000 Super Bowl team, to visit the old Ravens lockers—now located in the locker room of the SU football team—and see a plaque honoring the historic site for football tradition that started with the Baltimore Colts. On Aug. 18, 2013, the Ravens—just months after the team’s second Super Bowl victory—returned again for a public practice.

The Stevenson Way

The Stevenson Way campaign grew out of the desire to foster and celebrate Stevenson’s four values—promoting a sense of community, fostering learning, instilling integrity, and achieving excellence—throughout the campus community. These values energize Stevenson’s mission and create an environment in which students, faculty, and staff can grow, thrive, and succeed. By way of an employee nomination process, Stevenson regularly honors faculty and staff members for demonstrating these values in their daily activities as an example and inspiration for others.

President’s Reception and Dinner

Since 2001, the annual President’s Reception and Dinner has served as a way to thank Stevenson’s friends and supporters whose leadership gifts are transforming the lives of students and the institution itself. In the early years, venues such as the L’Hirondelle Club, the Baltimore Country Club, and the St. Paul Companies Pavilion on the Greenspring Campus hosted the dinner events. But as the University’s supporters grew so did the need for a location to host them all. Since 2010, every September, the Owings Mills Gymnasium brings donors together to meet the leadership and faculty from SU’s various schools and to witness the impact that their generosity has had on the campus.

The Evolution of Undergraduate Admissions

The admissions process at Stevenson has been honed into an intensive process to identify and engage students who will thrive on the kind of education the University offers. Stevenson’s website gives prospective students and their families a multimedia-rich preview of the campus, from student life to academics. Admissions counselors are on the road throughout the year visiting high schools and college fairs across the country. Campus tours are also a critical part of the process, giving prospective students a more intimate view of daily life at the University. Each spring, the President’s Reception for Accepted Students brings students and families to the campus for a day-long celebration of their admission to college and a chance to witness how a Stevenson education can transform their lives. Prior to 2000, accepted students were invited to a meet and greet at the VJC president’s home, but with the phenomenal growth of SU during the past 15 years, the Owings Mills Campus now welcomes the hundreds of students who attend with their families.
