I'm using Windows 2008 R2 as a webserer, the machine is part of a domain...
When the directory for each website is provisioned, it's setup with the
following permissions:
IIS APPPOOL\\<site> - READ
Administrators - FULL
The website works fine, however whenever I attempt to browse to a newly
created folder in Windows Explorer I get the following:
"You don't currently have permissions to access this folder.
Click Continue to permanently get access to this folder. "
I've tried the following:
i) Running Explorer as Administrator
ii) Adding my domain user to a custom local group and adding FULL
permissions to that folder
Neither got rid of the prompt..
What I'd really like to happen is either no prompt at all, or forcing the
UAC confirmation prompt (UAC is turned on). I really don't want to have
every user receive this prompt, when there could be thousands of folders,
and the ACL's polluted with all this additional rubbish.
Any ideas?

Really no right or wrong answer. The goal from here on out is to keep fresh/healthy and doing well. The worst lineup or best won't matter but what would you like to see.
Personally, the Dodgers are playing for their playoff lives and way more national viewers than normal....still nearly 2 weeks to rest.
1. Phillips 4
2. Heisey 8
3. Votto 3
4. Bruce 9
5. Frazier 5
6. Paul 7
7. Navarro 2
8. Gregorius
No Luddy...no rush
No Hanigan....not showing signs of fatigue but he's only getting about 1/2 starts the rest of the way.
No Rolen....basically DL him (but not) until about 2 games left and he'll be healthy and offensively useful in the playoffs....let him PH if needed.
I'd get Didi several starts

Eva Longoria will star with Billy Bob Thornton in Baytown Disco, the Barry Battles-directed independent drama. Battles wrote the script with Griffin Hood and State Street Pictures is producing. The film is about three violent redneck brothers who are hired to return a kidnapped wheelchair-bound teen to his grandmother. They leave a lot of bloodshed behind to accomplish the task. The Desperate Housewives star will play the ex-wife of Thornton's character. She's repped by CAA, Brillstein Entertainment and attorney Brad Small.

AWESOME CASTING. GREAT SCRIPT. HUGE FAN OF BOTH. This needs a greenlight stat
So Boring!!! Sounds like a bad version of One False Move or that other bad film Behind The (never released) Sun. Why would she do this? Can't she get a movie either?? BillyBob and Eva's bed time story…

When Jesus encounters demons in his travels throughout Israel, there are a couple reactions that we would expect from demons. Fear. Shuddering. Apprehension.
But there's one reaction we see multiple times that, on first thought, wouldn't be expected: Surprise.
In Mark 1:24, Jesus encounters a demon-possessed man–probably the first of his public career. In my NET Bible (viewable here), the demon's first words are translated as "Leave us alone, Jesus of Nazareth!" The translators note, however, that the literal translation is actually, "What to us and to you?" It's an idiom, effectively meaning, "We have nothing to do with one another: Why are you bothering us?" The demon seems more surprised than anything else.
We see this again in Matthew 8, with the famed demoniacs of the tombs. Again, their initial response to the coming of Jesus is surprise and puzzlement: "What to us and to you? Have you come to destroy us before the time?"
Now, there's one more example of this phrase in the New Testament, but it has nothing to do with demons: Instead, we see it in John 2, when Mary tells Jesus that the wedding has run out of wine. She implies that he should somehow intervene, and his response? "What to me and to you?"
In all cases, the translators note that this idiom can carry two different tones: Defensive hostility, or indifference and disengagement. The indifference and disengagement is obvious when Jesus is speaking to his mother, just as the defensive hostility is obvious in the case of the demons. One thing that remains the same, though, is the surprise at being involved in the first place.
"What to me and to you?" Why are you involving me? What do you have to do with me? What did I do to you, that you are doing this to me? That's all wrapped up in it. Jesus was surprised at being involved with the wedding, as it had nothing to do with him or his mission. The demons, too, are surprised, but not that Jesus noticed them in the first place (after all, they couldn't hope to hide from the Son of God). They're surprised that he cared what they were doing.
"What to me and to you?" What are you doing here, Jesus? I am doing nothing to you: Why do you care?
This is because the demons fundamentally misunderstand Jesus' motivation, his goals and desires. They fail to understand Love.
In his masterpiece The Screwtape Letters, Lewis hits this theme again and again. His demons are constantly trying to get at God's true motivations: "Love," to the demons, is just a meaningless word, a nonsensical idea that must serve to mask God's true intentions. This misunderstanding, this incomprehension of love, is what we see in the demon's plaintive cry to Jesus.
It is obvious to us, because we understand that Jesus loves his people. We understand that his purpose in coming here was not to conquer, but to serve: Not to hurt, but to heal. When Jesus sees a man (or a woman or child) possessed by a demon, he loves that person and wants to help them. The demons, however, lack this understanding: they see no reason at all for Jesus to seek them out. The demons of the Gadarenes are a prime example of this: Why would Jesus come to them "before the time"? What are they doing to Jesus, that he would find them and punish them when his eventual victory is already on its way?
What does he gain from it? That is what the demons struggle with, because the answer–nothing at all–is incomprehensible to them. Jesus gains neither wordly nor celestial power by casting demons out of people; He merely hastens a process which is already unfolding. He gains fickle followers and earns the wrath of the ruling class, and that's just about it.
And that's actually something we could all stand to remember, I think. Because the demons aren't wrong. They do know our inherent value. From a standpoint of objective worth, in and of ourselves, our bodies and spirits are broken and twisted, no use to anyone but as a plaything, something to exercise control and power over, soon to be discarded and destroyed. There is no objective value, no worth. We are not useful to God.
And therein lies the wonder of his love for us. Humanity is valuable because of God's love, and it doesn't stand apart from that. We are valueless to the demons, worthless on any scale that has to do with merit or usefulness: But to him, we are precious.

I have a Net4501 running m0n0wall 1.21 (built on Sun Jan 1 12:53:10 CET
2006). For some reason I am having performance problems over my 144K
IDSL after doing the upgrade to 1.21. I do NOT remember having the
problems prior to 1.21, and when I swap out the m0n0 for my el-cheapo
Linksys NAT DSL router/firewall my performance returns to normal.
A bit more about the performance ...
- Bandwidth tests from Cnet across either device (Linksys or m0n0) both
register about 133 kbps, which is what I would expect.
- It seems that web surfing and publishing (using webDAV) is where the
difference is HUGE. FrontPage across the Linksys finished in minutes,
where as across the m0n0 it ends up timing out. Accessing certain sites
take forever on the m0n0, but are fine across the linksys
- Also file transfers using SFTP also have problems on the m0n0 but not
the linksys
Anyone else experience this problem? Any recommendations?

On August 14 1984, Madonna's Madonna (The First Album) was certified platinum (to commemorate the sales of more than 1 million copies) in the USA.
One thought on "Today in Madonna History: August 14, 1984"
The First Album's Five big hits-Lucky Star, Borderline, Burning Up, Holiday and Everybody are some of the best songs of their era! You get only one chance to make a First Impression and in that, Madonna Louise Ciccone delivered and she became Immortal! Madonna Forever!

There was a great turnout and warm, sunny weather at the CCJS tent at this year's Maryland Day! Graduate student research and Students Ending Slavery were featured. Take a look at the full article to see a few pictures!
The presented poster outlines a set of preliminary analyses of the relationship between guardianship on a target system and repeated access of trespassers on these systems. As a part of a broader partnership between Dr. David Maimon and Dr. Michel Cukier to investigate cyber offending using honeypot computers, data were collected from a randomized control trial of target computers deployed on the Internet network of a large U.S. university. The analyses discussed in this poster examined whether the number and type of computer users (i.e. administrative vs. non-administrative) simulated on each system reduced "recidivism" by trespassers on targeted systems.
Co-authors, John Laub of the University of Maryland and Richard Rosenfeld of the University of Missouri-St. Louis, along with 25 former presidents of the American Society of Criminology have drafted a letter to the president and the attorney general entitled "Keep Science in the Department of Justice." They hoped that politics don't intrude on the science-based approach that the National Institute of Justice and the Bureau of Justice Statistics has fostered in recent years.
I am sad to inform members of the university and alumni that Ray Paternoster passed away on Sunday. As you all know, Ray was one of "the founding members" of the Department that Charles Wellford assembled in the early 1980s and a major reason for the continued high quality of the program since that time.
Department Chair James Lynch, has been awarded a three-year grant from the nationwide Research Network on Misdemeanor Justice to conduct studies in partnership with the Prince George's County's Departments of Corrections and Police. The two-part research project will examine patterns and trends in misdemeanor offense enforcement in the county, in addition to studying the county's pre-trial detention population. More information can be found at: https://bsos.umd.edu/feature/ccjs-project-examine-law
With the support of the William T. Grant Foundation, Professor John Laub is starting a new three-year project with Vincent Schiraldi, a Senior Research Fellow directing the Program in Criminal Justice Policy and Management (PCJ) at Harvard Kennedy School (HKS). This project involves the creation of Learning Community for Young Adults in the Justice System. There are increasing discussions taking place across the country regarding the current response to young adults in the justice system. Several states and local jurisdictions are considering alternative policies and practices towards this special group.
Interested in exploring a different culture? Want to learn more about human trafficking? Participate in a UMD Education Abroad short program this summer! Travel to Thailand and Cambodia, earn three CCJS credits, and participate in a life-changing experience.

Senior John Vosholler made the smartest decision among the Vandals during a quadrangular meet on Saturday.
With the Vandals trailing 24-0 against state-ranked Leroy, Vosholler found himself hooked into John Morrell's cradle lock in the third round of their match, which Vosholler was losing, 2-0.
He did not panic, however, instead maneuvering himself into a defensive pin position, forcing Morrell's shoulders to the mat to win the match with 1:08 left on the clock, boosting the team's morale.
GREENVILLE – Two second-half plays defined Vandalia's 52-39 win against Greenville last Friday.
Junior Bryan Hosick lost control of his dribble late in the third quarter with the Vandals leading 30-23.
But instead of giving up on the loose ball, Hosick dove to the floor, briefly gained control the ball and flipped it to senior Marty Johnson, who promptly made a bucket to put Vandalia ahead by nine.
BROWNSTOWN –– Senior Zach Rigdon did not think long before pronouncing himself a better basketball player than teammate Bryce Mason.
"Most definitely me," he said.
Mason, also a senior, insists on the opposite.
"I can take him," he said. "No doubt."
A neutral party, coach Vince Rohr, left the debate open.
1. The Vandalia High School girls basketball team will not play Litchfield on Tuesday, Dec. 21 as a makeup for Monday's game that was canceled. A new makeup date is to be announced. On Saturday, the girls will play Altamont at 1 p.m. instead of 11 a.m., as originally scheduled. The girls were scheduled to play at Pana, starting at 5 p.m. Friday night, but that has been canceled. A makeup date is to be announced.
2. The Vandalia High School boys basketball team will play on Saturday at 2 p.m. in Litchfield.
The Vandalia High School girls basketball team's game against Litchfield, scheduled for Monday at 6 p.m., has been canceled due to inclement weather. A makeup date will be determined at a later date.
The South Central High School girls basketball team's game against Woodlawn, scheduled for Monday at 6:15 p.m., has been canceled due to inclement weather. A makeup date on Dec. 18 at 2 p.m. has been scheduled.
Both the Ramsey Junior High seventh-grade and eighth-grade boys basketball teams defeated Patoka last Thursday.
The seventh-graders were led by Brady Reiss, who had 11 points, in a 21-17 victory, and the eighth-graders were led by Isac Gann, who nine points, in a 35-16 win.
Patoka's squad was defeated by Odin on Monday, 53-25, and by New Horizons on Tuesday, 41-35.
Senior Ashley Pollard went on a scoring flurry in the fourth quarter in helping the South Central High School girls basketball team earn its first victory last Thursday.
Pollard scored 15 of her game-high 25 points in the final period of a 43-40 back-and-forth win against Midland Trail Conference foe, Webber.
Not to be ignored, sophomore Macie Cain had a double-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds.
The Mulberry Grove High School boys basketball played without senior Zach Heilig in two games last week.
Heilig suffered a concussion last Tuesday and missed a 70-40 loss to Christ Our Rock Lutheran last Friday, and a 50-40 loss to Patoka on Tuesday.
Heilig may play on Friday at Odin.
A poor second quarter from Mulberry Grove gave CORL all it needed to defeat the Aces last Friday.
Leading 14-12 after the first, CORL scored 21 points in the second period, while holding the Aces to four points to take a commanding, 35-16, halftime lead.
A poor second quarter doomed the St. Elmo High School boys basketball team in its season-opener last Friday, as it lost to Neoga, 42-36.
Junior Jake Mansker led the Eagles with eight points, all of which he scored in the third quarter, when St. Elmo nearly erased an eight-point deficit.
The Eagles (0-2, 0-2 National Trail Conference) trailed 14-12 after the first period, but only scored two points in the second quarter to fall behind 22-14 at halftime.

The MRI exam is performed in a special room that houses the MR system or scanner. You will be escorted into the room by a staff member of the MRI department and asked to lie down on a padded table that gently glides you into the scanner. You will be required to wear earplugs to protect your hearing because the MRI scanner will produce loud noises. These loud noises are normal.
The most important thing for you to do is to relax and remain still. Most MRI exams take between 20 to 45 minutes to complete depending on the body part imaged and how many images are needed, although some may take 60 to 90 minutes or longer. Once the MRI examination is completed, the pictures will be reviewed by a radiologist. The radiologist will send your doctor a report.

Food security scheme unveiled
Chairperson of the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) Sonia Gandhi launched the Dilli Annashree Yojna - a food security programme of the Delhi government - on Saturday. HT reports.delhi Updated: Dec 16, 2012 01:58 IST
Chairperson of the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) Sonia Gandhi launched the Dilli Annashree Yojna - a food security programme of the Delhi government - on Saturday.
Under the scheme, claimed to be the first-of-its-kind in the country, a monthly cash subsidy of Rs. 600 will be transferred directly into the Aadhaar-linked bank accounts of the senior-most women member of the family. Nearly two lakh poor families will be benefited through the scheme. As many as 14,000 beneficiaries were given cash subsidy of Rs. 4,800 as entitlements for the past eight months as the scheme is being implemented with effect from April 1.With this, Delhi has become the first state to connect Aadhaar numbers with government subsidies for poor.
The Congress at the Centre is already banking on its cash transfer scheme, starting next year in 51 districts across the country, to emerge victorious in the 2014 Lok Sabha elections.
Gandhi said that food and fertiliser subsidies were yet to be brought under the Centre's direct benefit transfer system. She said Annashree, too, does not aim at substituting the public distribution system (PDS) but to "increase" the number of beneficiaries and reach out to those left out by the PDS.
Gandhi said, "The money will directly go into the hands of the women of beneficiary families."
Those not getting subsidised food under either the below poverty line scheme or Antyodaya Anna Yojana, have been identified as beneficiaries of the Dilli Annashree Yojna.
Dikshit said direct cash transfer will help the poor in purchasing the goods they need.

Martin Kaymar Has the Best Golf Swing on the Planet
There are a lot of really good golf swings on the PGA Tour nowadays. Some of it is because golf swing instruction has improved through the years. Adam Scott sure has a good swing. Tiger Woods used to have a great swing, but I think he's lost it somewhat. But I think Martin Kaymar probably swings the club the best of any PGA Tour players now. He sure proved it last week, leading all the way from start to finish at Pinehurst No. 2 in North Carolina. What a start: 65 and then another 65, and in the … [Read more...]

I think the above picture, which I took from my office window, really says it all.
If you're looking for a magical weekend, far from the madding crowd, perhaps you should consider getting your suit fitted at Warwick Hall instead of London. I'll be happy to look after you, set you up with a nice suite at the Hall, and it should be a weekend you won't forget in a hurry.

And a key part of Goa's radical approach is the Institute of Psychiatry and Human Behaviour, on the outskirts of the capital Panjin, where the most seriously ill patients are to be found.
The building is modern - there are no high fences or extended grounds to act as a buffer between the institute and the outside world - while the interior has been designed to make it easy for patients to access medical care whenever they need it.
"This is the best way of keeping up with the times and the concept of what psychiatry is today," senior psychiatrist Professor John Fernandez told BBC World Service's Health Matters programme.
"Many of our psychiatric patients had been kept up in closed rooms or in chains, and we wanted to get rid of this concept."
This philosophy had even altered the design of the building.
"Any wall makes a man feel like he should climb it," Professor Fernandez explained.
The building is also designed so that psychiatrists can observe the patients unobtrusively, from above.
"It reflects the thinking of Goa and the thinking of people who have been in this place for a long time," Professor Fernandez added.
Most of the wards are open, and the patients are free to move about - although occasionally patients who are unhappy about being brought to the institute do appear tied up in ropes.
Traditionally in Goa, people with mental disorders were believed to be possessed by spirits, and treated by being taken to a priest.
Now, many priests refer them on to the Institute.
Scattergun approach
There are around 200 patients in the hospital, of which around half are psychotic, and the Institute takes the approach of using a number of different methods to help the patients recover from their illnesses.
They range from drugs to one of the most controversial methods of psychiatric treatment - electro-convulsive treatment (ECT).
Many claim that not only is ECT highly dangerous, its benefits are at best dubious.
But the Institute insists its use has meant a quicker recovery time for many patients.
"In a country like India we have no insurance coverage, and the longer the patient stays the poorer he and his family become," Professor Fernandez said.
"He is an earning member and he has to go back to work. I thought that ECT is one of those therapies which can get a person back to his normal life faster.
"This is what we have seen. Six or eight treatments and the person is back on the road."
He added that the side effects were no worse, comparatively, than with drug therapy which Professor Fernandez also argues takes longer.
"What I feel is ECT, when used moderately, is one of the very good treatments in psychiatry."
However despite the Institute's success, there remain problems in getting the right treatment to patients, partially due to India's caste system.
"You will see only the middle and lower class people in the hospital," explained Dr Brubandan Concolienka, the medical superintendent at the Institute.
"Higher class people will not come to the hospital."
Dr Concolienka added that another, related problem was the importance of securing a good marriage in India.
Mental health problems in a family would often be covered up to avoid any risk of losing a good match.
"Another stigma is marriage," Dr Concolienka said.
"If somebody's sister or brother would like to get engaged, the moment that it is known they are a psychiatric patient, they will think twice."

A Perth start-up is poised to open the virtual doors of its online cash gambling casino, but founder
Mr Escalante's Virtual Gaming Worlds operates Chumba Casino, an online world where users play digital poker machines and card games for free, with no chance to win prizes. The 'social casino' makes money from dedicated users, who pay for things like extra credits and premium play.
Chumba Casino exists solely as an app within Facebook, but Mr Escalante received a licence from The Philippines in August to begin accepting cash bets on his digital games. He hopes to launch a parallel Chumba Casino outside of Facebook for cash play, within a month.
Countries like Singapore, the United Kingdom, and Malaysia allow online casinos that deal in cash, but many others, including Australia and the United States outlaw them. (US states New Jersey and Nevada have legalised them but only with domestic licences.)
With this in mind, although the licence is a significant milestone, it is not Mr Escalante's best hope of revenue in the short term. About two thirds of Chumba Casino's 200,000 monthly active users are based in the US. He intends to target them with "sweepstakes" offers on Facebook, which are made possible by a rule that does not define sweepstakes as gambling for some jurisdictions like the US.
Users can purchase virtual credits to gamble on digital pokies, and then crucially, they can cash out those credits on any prizes won, he said. Such activity would not be allowed in Australia, especially NSW where the rules on sweepstakes are very strict. However, Mr Escalante is confident he is playing by the rules as far as US laws are concerned.
Before offering sweepstakes play, Chumba users earned Mr Escalante about 10¢ per user, per day. The company has about 15,000 daily active users, which means annualised revenue of about $50,000. By the middle of 2014 he wants to grow his business to 100,000 daily active users and boost daily revenue per user to $1 – or annualised revenue of over $3 million.
It's an ambitious target. Facebook social casino platform Double Down, which is owned by US slot maker IGT and is the best performer in the space, takes about 40¢ per user, per day.
After one month, with no marketing, he is already seeing sweepstakes users "deposit more and play far more often" than those in the "social casino".
The former financial planner got the idea for Chumba Casino in 2009 when some friends with whom he regularly played poker moved interstate. The group carried on regular sessions of online role-playing game World of Warcraft but their card nights ended. "We found it crazy we could go into virtual world and kill a dragon together… but we couldn't replicate that Friday night poker night," he said.
Mr Escalante is betting that casinos will not escape the online revolution that has wreaked havoc with other sectors like media and retail. The shift is already apparent in wagering, where online-only companies like Sportsbet and Betfair compete aggressively with incumbents
As companies like James Packer's
The start-up has poached a few old world hands to assist in its journey too. The former general manager of pokies maker
The development of more compelling games will be one of the pillars to the start-up's growth, Mr Escalante said. "Better slot games are the biggest monetiser of a social casino," he said.
Mr Escalante will also focus on ensuring his advertising is "cost effective". "Traffic on Facebook is largely on tap – it's dictated by how much you spend on advertising," he said.
Public health advocates are horrified at a loosening of online gambling rules. Associate Professor
Mr Escalante argued digital casinos are better placed to identify problem gambling by monitoring users' activity.
"Nothing is anonymous in the world of online," he said. "We know everything about a player."
Mr Escalante, who said he has problem gamblers in his own family, claimed he would develop in-play reminders for punters to manage their spending levels and warn if they are punting too much. "These are all things that we will do and that's not an empty promise," he said.

Thursday, May 1, 2014 | 9:37 a.m.
BEIRUT — Syrian opposition activists say at least 33 people have been killed in a government airstrike that targeted a busy street in the northern city of Aleppo.
The airstrike that hit Hillok district in the rebel-held eastern part of the city also wounded dozens of people. That's according to several activists in the area who spoke to The Associated Press.
It is the latest deadly government strike on the city which has been divided between government forces and rebels for nearly two years.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said at least 33 people were killed in Thursday's attack. The local Aleppo Media Center put the toll at 44 killed.
Government forces have been carrying out airstrikes on the city, at times hitting schools, mosques and markets.

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) The days of sitting in the cheap seats are long gone for former President George W. Bush.
"I used to do that," Bush said. "It's probably not practical."
When Bush attends Texas Rangers games now, he can sit in a suite named after him.
The owner's suite at Rangers Ballpark was renamed Thursday in honor of Bush, who was the managing general partner of the Rangers from 1989-94. That was before he was elected governor of Texas and later as the 43rd U.S. president.
THURSDAY: Astros 5, Rangers 3
It was during the time Bush was involved with the team's ownership that Rangers Ballpark was designed and built.
"I'm glad he's home and reconnected with the team," Rangers owner Tom Hicks said.
The ceremony was held before the Rangers and Houston Astros played the finale of a three-game interleague series. Bush's father, the 41st president of the United States, lives in Houston and regularly attends Astros games, though the elder Bush wasn't on hand Thursday night.
Bush was presented a red No. 43 Rangers jersey with his name inscribed on the back. He posed for pictures at the suite entrance with Hicks, Astros owner Drayton McLane and Rangers team president Nolan Ryan.
The fans gave Bush a loud ovation when he was introduced in the middle of the second inning and shown inside the suite on the giant video screen. When the former president realized what was happening, he walked to the outdoor seats attached to the suite and waved to the crowd.
After the completion of his second term in the White House earlier this year, Bush moved to Dallas. His first big appearance locally was throwing out the first pitch at the Rangers' home opener April 6, the last time he was at the ballpark until Thursday night.
"I was thinking about our time in baseball as I was driving down the turnpike to get here. It was kind of a nostalgic trip. ... It brought back a lot of fond memories," Bush said. "We are looking forward to coming to the games."
Bush said he always tells people going to baseball games to "make sure you come with somebody you like because you're going to have plenty of time to visit."
The former president said he brought somebody he loves, wife Laura, and looked forward to visiting with her during the game.
While the Rangers are for sale again, reporters weren't given the opportunity to ask questions and that subject was never addressed by Bush. At the conclusion of the brief ceremony, Bush disappeared into the suite.
Hicks, who in 1998 bought the team from the ownership group Bush had been involved with, said last month that he is willing to give up control of the Rangers if the right deal comes along. Hicks intends to keep the NHL's Dallas Stars.
The Rangers owner had previously said he was seeking minority investors to purchase up to 49% in each club. Then the holding company that owns the teams defaulted on about $525 million in loans, though Hicks said that was an intentional move to help negotiate with banks.

wikiHow to Write a Letter to Your Teacher
Three Methods:Sample LettersWrite a Letter of Appreciation to Your TeacherWrite a Letter to Your Teacher to Resolve a ConflictCommunity Q&A
You may want to write a letter to your teacher to express appreciation for what he or she has done for you. On the other hand, you may also want to write a letter to your teacher to discuss a disagreement. This article will help you to craft a letter that is appropriate for either situation.
Sample Letters
Write a Letter of Appreciation to Your Teacher
1Use the appropriate stationery and a pen. Take the time to buy a nice card in which to enclose your letter.
2Write the date in the upper right corner.
3Start the letter off by writing 'Dear Mr. or Mrs. ________," This is a personal letter, so you want to end the salutation with a comma.
- You can be more informal if your teacher will find it appropriate. For example, if you call your teacher "Coach Sue," then call her "Coach Sue" in the salutation.
- Avoid calling your teacher by his or her first name unless you are truly on a first-name basis. Make sure that you show the appropriate level of respect.
- Avoid starting out with "Hey" or "Hi." This is a letter to your teacher, not to your Facebook friend.
4Skip some space and then start your introduction.
- If you haven't spoken to this teacher in a long time, then take some time to remind your teacher who you are. Teachers have so many students that they may not remember names initially, but they will remember unique things that you have done or unique personal characteristics.
- If you are just transitioning out of this teacher's class, then you can simply start your note without any extra introduction.
5Be specific when you thank your teacher. Don't say, "You were a great teacher. I liked your class." Instead, say something like, "You had a simple way of helping me understand a really difficult subject" or "Your influence helped me to become more confident."
6Tell your teacher something that you will always remember about him or her. Teachers need to know how their specific actions and unique personalities make a difference for their students.
7Close the by writing "Thank you," or "Sincerely," and then signing your name.
8Use your own handwriting for an appreciation letter. Typing the letter will make it appear too distant and formal.
9Mail the letter to the teacher or hand it to him or her personally.
Write a Letter to Your Teacher to Resolve a Conflict
1Write or type the date in the top right corner.
2Leave some space and write, "Dear Mr. or Mrs. _____,"
3Double-space and then type your first paragraph. If you are handwriting the note, leave a bit of space between your greeting and the first paragraph.nbbj
4Address the issue immediately. Start by saying, "I want to discuss" and then describe the issue in clear and concise language.
- Avoid unkind or passive-aggressive language. Try to be as emotionless and as clear as possible. Also, write in polite language even if the teacher doesn't deserve your respect. Always be the bigger person.
- Talk about yourself only. Don't say something generic and untrue, such as "Everyone hates this class." This letter is about you, so explain your viewpoint and don't avoid responsibility by drawing other people into the letter.
5Give specific examples. A good example would be, "I was frustrated last Thursday when our class was left waiting in the corridor for 15 minutes after the bell rang."
6Describe the effect that the teacher's action had on you. "I already struggle in your class, and I lost valuable class time when I had a lot of homework questions."
7Tell the teacher how you would prefer that he or she behave. Don't try to give advice or talk down to someone who has a lot more life experience than you do. Instead, say, "I would have preferred ______" and state your opinion rather than trying to sound helpful.
8Make sure to sign the note. Always stand by for your opinion if you write a note to a teacher.
9Hand the letter to your teacher at a time when you are not surrounded by other students. You should respect the teacher's privacy when you are writing him or her a critical letter.
10Avoid telling all of your friends that you gave the teacher a letter. You want to avoid spreading gossip about the teacher because that will make you look immature.
11Be realistic. The teacher may or may not change. If the issue is serious, then escalate it to your parents or to an administrator. If the issue is minor, then learn to overlook it.

Glad I got to attend this game. The loudest cheers of the night sadly came when Lil Bow Wow made an appearance on the JumboTron sitting courtside.
I'd just like to point out that Speights is improving in his limited minutes. Had a nice jumper, a couple smart assists (ball friendly?) and did a good job on the glass. More Speights, less Hawes is in the future if Speezy can keep this up and not revert to his lazy ways.
Also I'd like to point out Mo Speezy's habit of yelling out caveman style every time he approaches the rim. Doesn't matter if its a dunk with authority or a layup that he gets fouled on. If he's in the paint and going up with the ball, expect an earth rumbling yell from Speights. This is ususally embarassing when he's playing garbage minutes and the team is down 15...last night, it was just funny.
Sort of like Mark Jackson, without the explicatives.
I kind of liked Jackson. He would just scream at people. I remember one time he yelled "JUST DUNK IT!" at Iguodala, AI9 sort of looked around and realized he could just go up and throw one down in traffic. Funny moment.
Jackson was just horrible, though. He loved to shoot.
Jackson was great to me, it seemed at least once a game you could hear him yell 'SAM' in a defensive set...
Jackson was one of my favorite vertically challenged Sixers bigs. He could not leap over a loaf of bread, and 60% of his shots were blocked... but he was entertaining and seemed to really be into the game.
Marc Jackson or Mark Jackson?
Regrading your 2nd bullet point above:
The ignorant masses like to point at Iguodala as the player "stunting Turner's development" when the reality is that it is Lou who plays the role that would be best for Turner at this point in his development.
Giving Turner the ballhandling opportunites that go to Lou when Jrue is off the floor and at the end of quarters/games would put Turner in a role that he's had success in at OSU rather than exclusively force-feeding him minutes off the ball.
IMO, this would be beter for the team since so many of Lou's isolation opportunities are ending in off balance jumpers rather than breaking down his man and getting into the lane.
Yeah, I agree. I'm not sure why Lou handles the ball exclusively when Jrue isn't in the game. Doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me.

Easy Frozen Cocktails — Weekend Cookoutby Maria Russo in Drinks, July 13th, 2013
This summer, Food Network's Grilling Central is packed with recipes for the entire family's taste buds, boasting the best in burgers, dogs, chicken and more all season long. But with so many recipes, where do you start? Each Friday, FN Dish is giving you a complete menu that is stress-free, and this weekend's spread is rounded out by cool frozen cocktails.
No matter which main or side dishes you serve at your backyard barbecue, there's just one required element on your menu this weekend: a cocktail. Straight-up and on-the-rocks sippers are surely simple classics, but when it's particularly steamy outside, quench your thirst with a frosty frozen cocktail.
Made with just a handful of ingredients, Sandra's Strawberry Orange Daiquiri (pictured above) is a five-star pick packed with fresh fruit. The secret to preparing Sandra's cocktail is using orange-scented simple syrup to sweeten it, instead of simply adding sugar to the blender. She gently simmers sugar in an equal part of orange-scented water until the sugar is dissolved, then lets it cool before incorporating it into an icy whirl of strawberries, orange juice and rum.
Tyler turns the classic mojito into a Mojito Slushy simply by blending traditional ingredients like mint, rum and lime juice with ice. Food Network Magazine also puts a frosty spin on an on-the-rocks favorite: the margarita. Make top-rated Frozen Watermelon Margaritas, featuring sweet seasonal watermelon and both tequila and orange liqueur; perhaps best of all, they come together in only 10 quick minutes.
If you're entertaining this weekend, skip after-dinner drinks and let a dessert of Food Network Magazine's Salted Caramel Milkshake do double duty. This adults-only beauty (pictured right) combines creamy vanilla ice cream with dulce de leche and tequila, and it boasts a topping of fluffy whipped cream and sea salt.
Appetizer: Grilled Corn, Bacon and Chile Crostini
Main Dish: Pork Tenderloin with Chimichurri
Side Dish: Grilled Potato and Pepper Salad
Dessert: Apple-Raspberry Crumble with Oat-Walnut Topping
Cocktail: Strawberry Orange Daiquiri (pictured top)
