Rubeus Hagrid, 14 June 1943, Pensieve Memory
Name: Rubeus Hagrid
Format: Pensieve Memory
Date:14 June 1943
Relevance: Hagrid is expelled for allegedly opening the Chamber of Secrets
When I left my home and my family, I was no more than a boy
In the company of strangers
In the quiet of the railway station...
Rubeus Hagrid was down at the lake, throwing stones, when one of the house elves appeared and told him that the Headmaster wanted to see him. Hagrid gulped and nodded. It was a beautiful June morning with the sun shining brightly, a few high white clouds breaking up the blue of the sky, but Hagrid suddenly felt chilled. He wasn't surprised by the summons. He just didn't know what was going to happen. He plodded miserably up to the school and scarcely noticed that it seemed deserted. The gargoyle that guarded the entrance to the Headmasters office turned aside without a word, obviously expecting him. Hagrid concentrated on the narrow, moving steps, staring down at them dejectedly. He stepped off at the top and stood before the polished oak door to the office. He swallowed hard, and then knocked gently.
"Enter." The headmaster called out and Hagrid opened the door, ducking to go inside.
Hagrid had never been in the Headmasters office, but he'd certainly heard about it and he looked around the large room curiously. The curtains were closed, shutting out the view of the Quidditch pitch and the office was lit by two torches. Hagrid had heard about the portraits of previous Heads that hung in the office, but all the frames behind the huge desk were empty. He wondered where they had all gone.
Armando Dippet, seated behind the enormous claw-footed desk, looked up from a parchment he had been writing on.
"Ah Hagrid," he said, a touch of malice in his tone. "Sit down." He waved his hand at a narrow bench that had been placed in front of the desk. Hagrid looked at it warily. It didn't look as if it was strong enough to support his weight, but he didn't dare to disobey. He gingerly sat on the bench, which creaked alarmingly, but didn't break. He tried to decide what to do with his legs. The bench was quite low and he either had to stick his legs out so his feet nearly went under the desk, or hitch them up so his knees were nearly up to his ears. Hagrid decided that sprawling in the Headmasters office was a terrible breach of manners so he sat with his knees pulled up. He looked up at Headmaster Dippet, wondering what was going to happen next.
While Hagrid had been doing this, the Headmaster had been watching him through narrowed eyes.
The man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest.
Hagrid looked up. Dippet lay down his quill and folded his hands.
"Hagrid," he began briskly. "It has been brought to my attention that you have been harbouring a dangerous creature in the castle." It was a statement, not a question, and Hagrid knew exactly who had spoken to the Headmaster. His heart sank, but he took some comfort from the fact that Aragog was no longer in the castle.
"Furthermore," Dippet continued, rising to his feet and coming round to the front of his desk, "I am told that this creature came from the Chamber of Secrets which you have located and opened." He glared at Hagrid. "Is this true?"
Hagrid, who had not been expecting such an accusation, could only shake his head mutely. He eyed the Headmaster. Lately he had looked tired and worried, upset by the terrible goings-on that had plagued the school. Now though, he looked alert and some of the worry lines had disappeared from his face.
"Come come Hagrid," the Headmaster remonstrated. "Tell me what sort of creature it was and where the Chamber is and I promise to go easy on you." He raised his eyebrows. "Even you can see I'm being entirely reasonable about this whole affair."
"I didn't open the Chamber of Secrets," Hagrid muttered to the floor.
Headmaster Dippet looked at him with disgust. "Hagrid, a girl is dead because of this horrible thing that you've done! Come on now, confess!" Twin spots showed on his cheeks.
"I…I know an' I'm sorry Myrtle's dead, but yeh've got ter believe me Headmaster, he didn't do it!"
"WHO didn't do it?! Dippets voice cracked like a whip. "Hagrid, this thing is dangerous and it must be destroyed before it harms anyone else!"
Hagrid looked up. His face was pale and he wrung his hands. "I swear, Headmaster, it wasn't him what killed Myrtle an' he didn't come from the Chamber of Secrets! I dun't know where it is! Yeh've got ter believe me"! He had sworn to himself that he would protect Aragog and he wasn't going to tell anybody anything about him. He had escaped anyway and even Hagrid didn't know where he was right now.
"I see no reason to believe anything you say to me." The slight emphasis on the pronoun told Hagrid that Dippet considered his source of information un-impeachable.
"But…"Hagrid began, but the Headmaster waved it away.
"I thought it was a mistake to allow you to come to Hogwarts." He told Hagrid, his voice biting. "I'm just sorry it took the death of an innocent child to prove me right. You have no business associating with normal people.
Hagrid flushed at this, but he remained silent.
"Hagrid," and Armando Dippet's face was suffused with red now. "If you were just a little older and there wouldn't be such a scandal, I'd see you in Azkaban!"
Hagrid froze at the mention of the horrible prison. His lips moved soundlessly.
"As it is," the headmaster continued ruthlessly, "you leave me no choice…" he took a deep breath. "Rubeus Hagrid, in light of the crimes you have committed and your refusal to cooperate with me I hereby expel you from Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry!"
"WHAT?!" Hagrid was dumbfounded. "But yeh can't! I haven't done anything!" He almost wailed.
"You aren't fit for civilised society," Armando Dippet told him bluntly. "I've already had the house-elves pack up your things. I want you out immediately before you do something to hurt someone else.
Hagrid stood up, but his legs wouldn't support him after the shock he'd just had and he sank back down on the bench, which gave an ominous crack.
Asking only workman's wages, I come looking for a job, but I get no offers…
"But…where will I go?" Hagrid asked miserably." What'll I do?" The farm had been sold after his father's death and while he had a little money from that, it wasn't enough to support him for the rest of his life.
The Headmaster pressed his lips together. "That is no concern of mine Hagrid. You've made your bed and now you must lie in it. Just not here." He pointed to the door. "Now get out! I don't want you anywhere near any students!"
Hagrid rose unsteadily to his feet, his face a picture of abject despair. He turned to leave the room.
"Oh, before you go Hagrid," Dippet said nastily. "Your wand. Give it to me."
Hagrid just stared at him, unable to comprehend what the Headmaster had just said.
"Come now, Hagrid! Give me your wand. You've been expelled and you are no longer a member in good standing of the Wizarding World. You wand will be broken and I will take a great deal of pleasure in doing the deed." His eyes glittered meanly.
Hagrid reached into his pocket and took out his wand. He stared at the length of oak for a moment and then laid it very carefully on the Headmasters desk.
Til he cried out in his anger and his shame. I am leaving I am leaving but the fighter still remains.
Yes he remains…
Hagrid turned and walked slowly out of the Headmasters office. He swallowed hard to keep from crying. All he could think of was how glad he was that his father hadn't lived to see his son disgraced. The stairs took him down to the entrance and Hagrid slowly walked out of the huge doors. He didn't look behind him and he didn't see the slender, dark-haired figure smiling evilly as it watched him leave.

In a world where ignorance is bliss, 'tis foolish to be wise.
That saying's probably been around for a long time, but I first heard it decades ago, from the mouth of a drunk who said his name was Eddie Cornell (never found out if he was related to Ezra) at a bar near or in (I forget which) the Montreal train station. (Yup, the same one that's downstairs from the Queen Elizabeth Hotel, which is sold out for this year's SCUP conference.)

With gas around four dollars a gallon, the seventies-era idea of colleges closing on Fridays to reduce travel is making a comeback. The idea, which I've already heard from several people on my campus and read about in a few places, is that switching to a four-day workweek will reduce commuting by twenty percent, thereby reducing the college's carbon footprint and the cost to employees of gasoline and/or mass transit fare.
It would also (theoretically) allow colleges to save on HVAC, lighting, and other utilities on Fridays.

In exactly two hours I am buying my first house as a single mom. I am not a first time home owner it's true, but I am a first time single mom home buyer and I must admit it is simultaneously amazing and terrifying. To go from a world of carefully monitored small debt to a giant world of massive debt is daunting. To go from street parking to a driveway with a garage parking is relieving. To go from a town where everyone knows Koosh to a town of strangers is well, a leap of faith.

Sweaty eleven-year-old boys with freckles across their noses, Little League baseball games and ice cream in waffle cones mean the arrival of exactly one season. Summer. And it is here.
My son's team, the Rays, finished eighth of eight in the Little League regular season and began the playoffs last Friday night. With the sudden death structure of the tournament we expected this season of baseball to end for him last weekend. Five days and three games later, his team is still alive.

A Mosaic of One Hundred
Exemplary Creative Minds.
By Harold Bloom.
Illustrated. 814 pp. New York:
Warner Books. $35.95.
Few literary critics court ridicule as compulsively as Harold Bloom. His overproduction of doorstopping volumes of popularizing surveys of world literature feels more like brand extension than scholarship. His choice, for his latest book, of title (''Genius''), publisher (the mass-market Warner Books) and organizing principle (''one hundred exemplary creative minds'') is more Kmart than Yale. The book itself displays all the faults that have led fellow academics to disapprove of him. He repeats himself so often that his favorite words acquire the ring of revolutionary slogans (Originality! Vitality!) or ritual denunciations (Resenters! Historicizers!). He makes grandiose and indefensible claims without explaining or arguing for them. He cloaks himself Wizard-of-Oz-like in the polysyllabic hermeticism of cabala and Gnosticism, with little seeming regard for the violence his borrowings may do to those systems or to the comprehensibility of his prose. And oh, that prose! Ranting, pontificating, self-interrupting -- every few pages bring another aside on the deplorable state of literary studies today or the evils of the Internet -- it defies every rule of elegance and economy.

The staff was very friendly and booked us in a 4 bed room just for two! In the common room they had lots of books and games and the kitchen and breakfast were good. The room was big and clean, but it smelled too much like air fresheners. The bathroom was ok. The hostel is very close to Connemara Nationalpark with the beautyful Diamond Hill.

We stayed in 3 beds private room, and were delighted to find so much comfort (i.e large beds, wardrobe, night tables, towels, good shower...). The self catering breakfast was excellent, and the pub restaurant attached to the hostel provides great food for reasonable prices. Excellent address in Connemara, moreover easy to find as it stands on the N59 in Letterfrack.

I had a nice stay at Bards Den Hostel. The location is awesome, the dorm was big enough and breakfast all day long was much appreciated. When I stayed, they had a leaking problem with the toilet so by the end of the day it was flooded. There were not any locks, neither for the room, nor for the bathroom.

Greek (stylised as GRΣΣK) is an American comedy-drama television series that ran from July 9, 2007 to March 7, 2011 on ABC Family. The series follows students of the fictional Cyprus-Rhodes University (CRU), located in Ohio, who participate in the school's Greek system. The show's plots often take place within the confines of the fictional fraternities, Kappa Tau Gamma (ΚΤΓ) and Omega Chi Delta (ΩΧΔ), or the fictional sorority, Zeta Beta Zeta (ΖΒZ). Throughout the course of the series, other non-Greek characters and situations are introduced, but they all tie into larger relationships with the Greeks. There are four seasons.
In April 2007, ABC Family announced plans to begin airing Greek in July of that summer. The series premiered on July 9, 2007.[2] Show creator Patrick Sean Smith began the show as a spec script of a show that he "really wanted to see," noticing a lack of shows in an hour-long format following a comedic take on college life. Citing "shows like Grey's Anatomy and Ugly Betty" that "were pushing the envelope comedically in [sic] one-hour format," Smith saw the idea working for a younger set.[3] Greek became an example of ABC Family's desire to change their image to appeal to the emerging generation of viewers. The show's content is not traditionally considered "family friendly" due to its depiction of sex and drinking. The producers and the television network believe the friendships, which substitute for family during college, achieve the network's motto: A New Kind of Family.[4] At the heart of the series is the sibling relationship between Casey and Rusty. The producers recognize that while it is a show about families, it is not necessarily for families, believing it is important that the authenticity of college life be portrayed, which includes the mature elements of that lifestyle. Even still, they work at making sure their depictions aren't gratuitous.[5]
Filmed primarily in Los Angeles, the show is also filmed on location at the UCLA campus in the Westwood district of Los Angeles. Many campus scenes have also been shot at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) in Pasadena, California, outside of Los Angeles. They've also filmed at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.[6] The exterior and some interior shots were filmed in the historic West Adams District within Los Angeles. The house used in the pilot to establish the ZBZ residence is the same house used in the reality series Beauty and the Geek.[5]
The first season was halted in September 2007 due to the Writers Guild of America strike and returned March 24, 2008, to a triple digit increase in ratings over the pilot's premiere.[7] On May 1, 2008, ABC Family renewed Greek for a second season, premiering August 26, 2008. The series was moved from the Tuesday lineup to Monday nights.[8] Twelve more episodes were ordered for late spring 2009 and aired beginning March 30. On January 31, 2009, it was announced that Greek would return for a third season, premiering on August 31, 2009.[9] The midseason premiere of Greek was Monday, Jan. 25, at 10/9c.[10]
On February 19, 2010, it was reported that the show had been renewed for a fourth, ten-episode season.[11][12] Then, on March 13, 2010, creator Sean Smith announced his plans to end the series after the fourth season, saying, "We plan to end, that's the plan. We're all looking at this as an opportunity to come back, wrap up the show, and end strong. ABC Family could have ended it, but they gave us this opportunity and I don't want to squander it."[13] On July 29, 2010, it was confirmed that the fourth and final season of Greek would air beginning in January 2011. The series finale aired on March 7, 2011.

Season One[edit]
Rusty Cartwright (Jacob Zachar) is a freshman at Cyprus-Rhodes University, and in an effort to shed his nerdy image, he goes through Greek recruitment. His older sister, Casey (Spencer Grammer), is an active member of the Zeta Beta Zeta sorority (the top sorority on campus), and is dating Omega Chi Delta active Evan Chambers (Jake McDorman), who is wealthy and popular because of his father's company, Chambers International. Evan is the Pledge Educator of the Omega Chi (the top fraternity on campus) and offers Rusty a spot in Omega Chi but gets declined after Evan gets spotted cheating on Casey with the Senator's daughter (and Zeta Beta Zeta pledge), Rebecca Logan (Dilshad Vadsaria). Rusty later accepts an invitation for Kappa Tau Gamma fraternity by the fun and laid back Cappie (Scott Michael Foster), Casey's ex-boyfriend, much to Casey's concern. Additionally, Rusty's straight-edged Baptist roommate, Dale (Clark Duke), is concerned for Rusty's involvement with the Greeks, but later accepts Rusty's new lifestyle, even befriending Rusty's gay friend Calvin (Paul James), an Omega Chi legacy and pledge who gets accidentally outed by Ashleigh (Amber Stevens). A large scandal for the Greeks erupts after Rusty's new girlfriend, Jen K (Jessica Rose), a Zeta Beta Zeta pledge, writes a newspaper article based on the scandals and controversies of the Greeks and gets them in trouble with Dean Bowman, forcing the university to lay down strict rules and monitoring on the Greeks. Since Jen K was a ZBZ pledge, the article centers on the Zeta Beta Zeta sorority and ZBZ National Board interferes and forces Casey's "big sister" Frannie, an ambitious and manipulative girl, to step down as president and has Casey take her place as interim president.
Season Two[edit]
After being ousted as ZBZ president by Nationals, Frannie decides to set up her own sorority, Iota Kappa Iota (Nicknamed "IKAP" by the house, and the "ICKY's" by all the other houses). Bankrolled by her new boyfriend, Evan Chambers', trust fund, she sets about convincing a small number of ZBZ sisters to defect. New ZBZ president Ashleigh assumes her full duties taking over from interim president Casey, however Casey remains a prominent figure in the house, taking charge of the year's pledges. At the Kappa Tau house, Rusty is looking forward to being an active after a year of hazing and serving the brothers, only to find he is still treated the same as a 'Post-pledge' until the freshman arrive on campus. During Rush, Rusty takes a liking to Calvin's former high school friend Andy (Jesse McCartney) and petitions hard to convince him to join the Kappa Tau house over the Omega Chi house. Rusty and Dale take an Art History elective, and Rusty falls (literally) for free spirit Jordan (Johanna Braddy). Jordan attends a Kappa Tau party on invite from Rusty, during which she makes out with Andy. Rusty's situation worsens when Andy joins Kappa Tau, and Cappie makes Rusty his big brother in the house. Casey struggles with her feelings for Cappie whilst dating Max (Michael Rady), forcing Casey and Cappie to argue and agree to not be friends anymore; however, Cappie comes to her aid when the ZBZ homecoming float breaks down and the two make up. Rusty, unable to hide his feelings for Jordan, kisses her and later admits this to Andy, who leaves the Kappa Tau house because of this. The betrayal of Rusty to his younger brother infuriates Cappie, who likens the situation to when Evan stole Casey from him, however when Cappie and Evan start reminiscing and become friends, Cappie also forgives Rusty. Jordan chooses Rusty over Andy, and the Iota Kappa Iota house is disbanded by Frannie after she breaks up with Evan and graduates from CRU. Unable to bury her feelings for Cappie, Casey tries to reconnect with Cappie, only for him to reject her. Casey breaks up with Max because she doesn't ever think she'll feel the same with him as she does with Cappie.
Season Three[edit]
Season three begins shortly after Homecoming of the academic year 2009–2010.[23] Rebecca confesses that she shared a kiss with Fisher (Ashleigh's boyfriend) and Ashleigh refuses to accept the apology from both parties. Casey's break up with Max was difficult, but she put her energy into her participation in Panhellenic. Meanwhile, Rusty struggles to keep up his GPA while still in Kappa Tau activities, and Cappie enlists himself as help. Calvin and Grant (Gregory Michael) quietly begin a relationship, and Evan helps them keep it a secret from the rest of Omega Chi. Rusty and Jordan take their relationship to the next level, but due to a once in a lifetime opportunity Jordan moves to New York, and the two split up. Cappie and Evan's friendship is discovered by Casey and the three are friends again. When Thanksgiving rolls around Cappie and Casey share a special moment and get back together. Dale and Rusty begin to fight when they are put up for the same academic grant. Cappie and Evan make a deal to unite their houses against Officer Huck, but Evan betrays Cappie and three Kappa Tau brothers are expelled. The Gamma Psi house burns down, and the ZBZ house is to blame, but eventually Casey breaks down from the guilt and tells Katherine what happened. Rusty briefly begins to date Katherine. Grant and Calvin break up, because Grant wants to know what being single is like. In the final episode Cappie breaks up with Casey for not having enough faith in them.
Season Four[edit]
Casey, Ashleigh, and Evan graduate, while Calvin and Rebecca adjust to their new duties as presidents. After some investigation, Casey discovers the real reasons behind not getting into CRU Law, and with a turned decision stays at CRU as a law student and the ZBZ housemom. Ashleigh then turns up at the ZBZ house saying she was fired from her job in New York, only to have it revealed later that she was sent on a coffee run one day and just split, and came back to CRU because she was lonely and disliked her boss. Meanwhile, Cappie tries to get back with Casey, and after telling him that maybe they can go back the way they were, Cappie promises that he will change so that someday he is worthy of being her boyfriend. Calvin deals with the ramifications of lying to become president of ΩX, as well as his relationship with Heath. After an inspiring talk with Evan, Dale rushes ΩX. Alternatively, the KT brothers lose all of their pledges except one; Peter Parkes, a KT legacy whose father is Lasker Parkes, creator of the 'Joshua Whopper' software (named in episode 2x04). Since declaring a major (which was philosophy), Cappie has decided to graduate that semester to be with Casey. Ashleigh had a brief relationship with Casey and Evan's law professor, but broke it off because he was acting like a jerk to people around her. Ashleigh then took a marketing job with her past professor and began a relationship with Rusty. Rebecca and Evan broke up and formed somewhat of a friendship in the final episode. After discovering that Omega Chi was trying to use him to get to Kappa Tau, Dale was kicked out of the fraternity. He was later reinstated after the Calvin and the pledges stood up to the new president on Dale's behalf. Dale got back together with Laura. Katherine and Beaver (Walter) got together. After it was revealed that Lasker Parkes wanted to destroy Kappa Tau's house to build a gym, a protest took place to save the house. Casey, Evan, and Cappie all came to amends and Cappie announced that Rusty was the new Kappa Tau president. Kappa Tau was torn down, but Rusty pledged to finding a new, better house for Kappa Tau. Casey quits CRU Law to go to Washington with Cappie, who is now graduated. Rusty and Ashleigh begin their relationship. In the final scene, the main cast, Rebecca, Evan, Rusty, Ashleigh, Dale, and Calvin say good bye to Casey and Cappie as they drive away together, Cappie telling Casey he wants to go wherever she's going. The final scene features Casey and Cappie driving off as Pledge Spidey (Peter Parkes) is putting the KT letters on a new house (the old Lambda Sigs house) that ΩX's housing foundation bought them so they could stay on campus...

Greek has received a score of 62 out of 100 from review aggregator Metacritic.[27] In a review released soon after the premiere of the show, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette called the show "light-hearted fun" and "authentic" while the New York Times claimed that Greek "captures the spirit of the hedge-fund age like nothing else."[28][29] Other critics did not find the drama as authentic, with Elizabeth Fox of the Philadelphia Inquirer criticizing the show's predictability and lack of originality as another "teenage soap opera."[30] Other reviews were middling, calling the writing of the show acceptable and praising the strength of the cast.[31]
Members of the real life Greek community have claimed that Greek's depiction of fraternity and sorority life is stereotypical.[32] USC banned the show from filming on their campus, in reaction to the promotional poster featuring the Greek logo over a red cup, since the cup is often used to symbolize alcoholic consumption during parties. However, upon viewing the pilot episode they held off on sending a letter to ABC Family, complaining about the depiction of the Greek System, when they realized there was more to the show than just parties. Others recognize it as a hyperbolic representation of "tamer, more modest" Greek life.[33]
The show has been noted by LGBT activists for the character of Calvin, a gay fraternity brother, who struggles with the stereotyping and homophobia that coming out of the closet entails. Critics have praised the character's "three dimensionality."[3][34]
In 2008 GLAAD nominated Greek for an Outstanding Drama Series award, and in 2009 they nominated the show in the Outstanding Comedy Series category. Actor Paul James was nominated for a 2009 Image Award as Outstanding Actor in a Comedy Series.[35] In 2010, it was again nominated for a GLAAD Media Award for "Outstanding Comedy Series" during the 21st GLAAD Media Awards.[36]
The viewership for Greek's pilot episode was 1.1 million,[37] and Chapter 2 ended with 1.3 million viewers.[38]
Chapter 3 saw a ratings spike, premiering to 1.6 million viewers, a 78% increase, doubling and tripling their ratings in all demographics, marked a network high for male viewers, and was the 2nd most watched cable show with females age 12–34. Greek also appeared on the list of top ten downloads on iTunes.[5][7] Chapter 4 premiered much lower, with 0.99 million viewers,[39] and ended with 0.745 million.[38]
The third season premiere (Chapter 5) had a total of 1.21 million viewers, down almost 2 million from its lead in, The Secret Life of the American Teenager.[40] The second episode pulled in 1.31 million viewers.[41] Chapter 5 ended with 0.66 million viewers and Chapter 6 premiered with 1.033 million.[42]
Online reality show spinoff[edit]
In 2007, ABC Family created a website www.virtualrush.com that was to be used in conjunction with the Greek television series. The site was maintained during the first two seasons, in which the users of the site competed in a wide variety of contests in order to become an extra on the show. During the first season of the contest, a five-part online reality series called Rush*d[43] followed the six finalists that were selected by ABC Family staff from their hometowns and college campuses to Los Angeles.
The Finalists:
- Chrissy Celotto – Van Wilder
- Luke Martin – IvoryRockstar
- Nate McGee – NJMCGEE
- Jay Stephens – ChiKappaDelta
- Jenna Walsh – Jenziebabe
- Laura Wise – Whitecup
In the fifth episode of Rush'd, Laura Wise was announced the winner of the contest.
In season two of Virtual Rush, Tom Kruszewski – Puckstopper35, was announced as the winner of the second and final contest. Following the second season the website was rendered inert.
In the United Kingdom, episodes are followed by special behind-the-scenes features entitled Greek Uncovered, which can be found on the BBC iPlayer and on BBC Three.[44] In the Australian iTunes Store, each week, a new episode (to Australia) will appear, after it is aired on Fox8.
DVD releases[edit]
In 2008, ABC/Disney released Season 1 on DVD in two volumes, titled Chapter One and Chapter Two. In 2009, Season 2 was also released on DVD in two volumes, titled Chapter Three and Chapter Four.
In 2010, Shout! Factory secured the rights for the rest of the series and released Season 3 on DVD as a complete set, titled Chapter 5: The Complete Third Season.[45] On October 18, 2011, Shout! Factory released "Greek: Chapter 6 - The Complete Fourth Season" as a Shout! Select title, available exclusively on their website.[46]

RavenDB is a Document Database written entirely in .Net.
In this presentation we will cover what a Document Database is and how developing with one requires thinking in a radically different way than you may be used to if you have traditionally used SQL Databases with .Net centric clients.
In the sample code we will walk through creating the Models(both .Net and JSON), Views and ViewModels for a modern HTML5, MVVM Website using KnockoutJS and JavaScript (no .Net on the Client) with a full REST WebAPI backend written in .Net using RavenDB as the Database.
I will demonstrate how this can make Web Based development much more intuitive and friendly for the developer. We will look at how the architecture for the Semantic Web has made Web Based development the modern standard for both humans and machines. We will look at the common Design Patterns that you can leverage when working in this style of development and how they are applied across multiple client platforms.
Steele Price has been professionally designing and developing databases and interfaces to them for 30 years. He has also been professionally developing with Microsoft Visual Basic, C#, SQL Server and Visual Studio since their inception many years ago. Recently he has focused on the Semantic Web, HTML5 and cross-platform Web Enabled solutions.
He started professionally developing software in 1983. Software development has not only been his primary source of income since; it is his passion. Many of his software development processes grew to fruition by seeing a business or consumer need and working diligently to fulfill that need with a real application. When you love to do something it invades every aspect of your life.
In recent years he has focused on improving the software development process, design patterns and application reach. Learning from his own process failures as well as successes let him demonstrate how to achieve better real-world delivery of applications to companies ranging from "mom and pop" stores to top tier Insurance Carriers and Airlines.
He has always maintained a passion for taking that knowledge back to the community by speaking and sharing often with local user groups.
Event starts at 7/26/2012 6:00:00 PM and ends at 7/26/2012 9:00:00 PM

And you said dates you are trying to cast about for other things but how did you end up becoming an.
I think I just kept falling into -- I gravitated towards the theater because I was bit outspoken and today I was you know sort of you know compete against the the class clown sometimes and away and and and sort of naturally gravitated towards.
Being in in plays and productions and and I just kept going with it and then that originally went to college for music and realize that I didn't.

You do some might mean and next thing you know you've got to see Nen memorize.
Well let's just -- did some electronic scene partner I just died play all the other parts in the scripts.
And when it comes to my own lines I'm mime CU record -- -- -- a record recorded into a recorder in and play all the other parts and when it comes to mind dialogue I I just -- and I don't say it -- So that when I play it back I have a rehearsal partner.
All the other dialogue is there -- mind.
Did you -- you revealed that there is apparently now an app for that ideally suited to which I did not know.
Yet there's an -- for -- so that you can use.
You can really you know -- the -- -- voice that this thing I thought nothing of real actors is that sounds beautiful.

That's what it looks like an actor developed it it is as he can highlight -- lines and you can go through it and and -- here -- on -- and usually on the banks schools are here to remind people like -- -- -- what -- you didn't tell you is he has stock and the iPad.
I you know -- -- asked for so that.
-- -- Going -- Internet play when he -- seeds in -- does not look I've got the new five pence and Adam immaterial let's this that's on my iPad.
So I you know -- that is an actor so I just employ everybody else to read lines.
And actually -- I just like at my friends that there aren't I great.
Is is it just seems right now we are so interested in historical.
Events you know Lincoln we want to know about our our famous presidents I think it's that's it's it's translating into age kids at school.
You know more kids want to learn about it and I think that's one of the great things about seeing you and your piece on.

You know Nat geo is philosophy is that.
History you as it was this can be exciting you don't have to change things don't happen.
Got to see them up.
That is history itself can be exciting this thing is this thing is as historically accurate as is possible for it to be.
What did you guys learn -- doing if he hadn't Peterson.
And then there's so many things that said to learn about it how intricate and complicated the story -- how intertwined all of these people's lives are.
I think the fact that you know John Wilkes Booth was an active -- the albeit subversive.
Component of -- the underground.
-- -- Sort of methods of didn't confederacy to.
Take over he leveraged his fame in his wealth and his connections to move goods across borders and to.
And convey messages and information because he kind of had this luxurious.
Being able to travel.
From place to place because he was in the theater and he was like the star name and -- had.

good little mousePros: Does its job Cons: Scroll wheel could be faster 0 out of 12 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
This thing is a beastPros: So far it's cooling great, I went from average temps of 38C down to 29C at Idle, using the lowest fan setting which rotates at ~1000rpm. You can not hear it! At higher speeds it's definitely audible but not crazy loud, this is a 120mm fan so you won't get that high pitched whine like a Stock Cooler. Cons: This thing is HUGE, that may not be a con to some people. Other Thoughts: Motherboard: ASRock 990FX Extreme3 Did you find this review helpful? |
Good ValuePros: Cools great. Cons: 1) Large Other Thoughts: I didn't realize how big this thing was. Seeing the dimensions and seeing it in my case were two different things. My computer runs a little hot still...but it's due more to the space restrictions in my tower and airflow. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Very ReliablePros: Core i7 920 2.66GHz - OC Testing Cons: Difficult to install. When first installed, i wasn't lined up flat with the bracket, and had to uninstall and fix. (Caught before boot). Other Thoughts: Looking forward to using this again after upgrading to an Ivy Bridge processor. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Buyer Beware - NOT COMPATIBLE with LGA 2011Pros: I'm sure this is a greak CPU fan for the boards it actually works on. Looks amazing - really disappointed I won't be able to use it. Cons: While the brackets and screws fit fine into my brand new X79 Sabertooth board, the tabs that hold the fan down ended up being about 1/8" too high. This allowed the fan to float around and tip off the CPU. Despite both newegg and the Zalman website assuring that this fan is compatible with LGA 2011, the box and the instructions don't mention it at all. Furthermore, the instructions available at the Zalman website tell you to use special Intel brackets that aren't even included in the package! Other Thoughts: Are you supposed to order special brackets separately for LGA 2011? If so, PLEASE state so before I purchase. 3 out of 6 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Bzzzt!Pros: Big fan, big heatsink, very good mounting kit, good cooling. Cons: I finally got to install this after going through a long process of picking parts. I got it installed, up and running. After the boot process settled down I reached over to turn the fan speed adjustment and POP! Yellow sparks shot out of the control unit and the CPU cooling fan went to top speed. Now my super large (NZXT phantom) super quiet case has a loud spot. I'm not happy I might have to fully disassemble this full build. Other Thoughts: I tried to figure out on Zalman's site how to get this fixed, but alas, I can't find anything beyond ads for their product and manual downloads. I don't know if any of you other newegg fans know how to contact this company, or if Newegg can help. All I need is the little controller piece and I should be set. 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
You Wont Regret ItPros: Keeps my i5 processor nice and chill!! Cons: This Thing Is HUGE!!!! Other Thoughts: Make sure it will not interfere with anything. had to modify my side panel fan so it wouldn't keep hitting it. 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Great for a cheap price!!!Pros: My first Western Digital VelociRaptor and i love it. Its fast and reliable so far. Cons: None so far Other Thoughts: Kinda noisy when on load 2 out of 10 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Awesome Cooler!!!Pros: Adjustable Fan Speed, Excellent Cooling Performance, and Universal Socket Compatibility. Cons: It was kinda big Other Thoughts: Had to switch the heatsink the otherway because it was blocking one of my ram slot. Did you find this review helpful? |
make sure you get REV 3!Pros: Runs quiet, keeps the CPU very cool. 10 degrees cooler than stock at half the RPMs ... Cons: I got the REV 1 cooler and the only attachment for my AMD 1100T was the weak spring clip. My computer would blue screen every time something bumped the case, which told me that the cooler was too heavy for the clip. As the clip weakened over time, the slightest touch would blue screen the machine. When I went to replace it with the stock cooler, it's size made it so difficult to remove that it twisted in such a way as to bend hundreds of pins and destroy my 1100T. So not only was this a waste of money, but I lost my 1100T and the only chip I could find locally was the 1055T, a severe downgrade. Thanks a lot Zalman and Newegg. Note: I got mine on sale, which meant that the REV 3 was already out and it has the screw on pressure plate to hold the cooler securely. Neither Zalman nor Newegg warned me that I was getting a cooler that was known not to work with the AM3 socket. Shame on both of them. It also interferes with tall memory like the vengeance. Other Thoughts: It you get the REV 3, then this is an excellent cooler, assuming it actually fits your case. Watch out for tall memory ... if the slots are close to the CPU you will have problems with this cooler. REV 1 should be avoided by AMD users. 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful.
