Many of our members arrive as early as 5PM. Unless you in dicate otherwise by RSVP\, your arrival time will be assumed to be the even t's starting time. If you arrive after groups have already formed up\, you may have to wait for a game to end or form another group on your own. Becau se a game night involves the temporary forming and re-forming of different small groups over the course of the evening\, you may find that timing your arrival is important for maximizing your game playing time and minimizing down time. If you do arrive at an odd time\, do not despair. If you see som eone else not playing while you are waiting for a game to open up\, don't b e shy. Ask them to play something! They are most likely there to play too!\ n\nLet Us Know Which Games to Bring or Which Games You Are Bringing\nA lot of our members own shelves upon shelves of unplayed games which they would love to bring to the table. The best choice for them is often a game they o wn that other people want to play. You can help our game-bringing members c hoose which games to bring if you mention ahead of time which games you wan t to play or learn. Members who bring games should let everyone know what g ames they are bringing so that we can drum up excitement. You can post requ ests and info in the comments below.\n\nWhen: Every Thursday 6PM - 11PM\nWh ere: Eudemonia\, 2154 University Ave\, Berkeley\, CA 94704 - Just a 100 yar ds west of the Oxford St front edge of the Berkeley Campus\n\nPARKING AND T RANSPORTATION INFORMATION:\nStreet parking is free after 6PM and most plent iful between 5:30 and 6:45.

It handles some of the dirty work associated with minification of assets\, versioning on th e CDN\, and setting correct HTTP headers to maximize caching. These are st eps in the deployment process that come as an afterthought but can yield ex treme performance boosts in a page's load time. It is built upon a pluggab le architecture consisting of 4 steps: preprocessing\, listing\, minificat ion\, and uploading. Initially\, it supports YUI minification and uploadin g to Amazon S3/Cloudfront. It can be used as a standalone executable for u se in non Rails projects or installed as a Rails plugin to make default con figuration even simpler.\n\nWebvanta by Christopher Haupt\n"The Webvanta ho sted service for designers evolved out of the BuildingWebApps.com portal we built to support the LearningRails podcast. Little did we know while build ing the sample CMS-like project for the podcast that we'd be simultaneously creating its 'big brother' behind the scenes. In this talk\, we'll take a tour of the technology behind the app. When we needed to integrate our Cont ent Management System component with our portal database technology\, we lo oked at the RadiantCMS project for inspiration. We'll dive in to how we are using the Radius tag language gem (from Radiant) in an expanded role to im plement dynamic database constructs that our customers can use to build sim ple\, data-driven sites without 'programming' outside of HTML."\n\nChristop her Haupt is the CTO of Webvanta Inc\, a Bay-Area startup dedicated to buil ding a hosted platform for web designers who need to construct sophisticate d database backed sites\, but want to avoid server side programming or syst em management.

Bu t how do you introduce it in a way that piques their curiosity and encourag es them to dig deeper? It's not as hard as you think. I'll demonstrate how I used Ruby\, Shoes\, short iterations\, and frequent deployment to get a b ig group of high school kids excited about programming\, even though I hadn 't done much teaching before. I'll also show how to adjust for younger kids \, all the way down to elementary school age. You'll leave with ideas you c an use in a classroom\, an after-school club\, or with the kids in your lif e at home."\n\n\n\nSan Francisco\, CA 94107 - USA\n\nThursday\, November 1 2 at 6:00 PM\n\nPhoto: http://photos4.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/5/f/9/2 /event_264466.jpeg\n\nAttending: 90\n\nDetails: http://www.meetup.com/sfrub y/calendar/11575266/ LAST-MODIFIED:20091111T200154Z UID:event_11575266@meetup.com CLASS:PUBLIC CREATED:20091007T223713Z DTSTAMP:20091112T080347Z DTSTART:20091113T020000Z DTEND:20091113T040000Z GEO:37.79;-122.41 LOCATION:Zendesk - 410 Townsend St\, 3rd Floor - San Francisco\, CA 94107 - USA URL:http://www.meetup.com/sfruby/calendar/11575266/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:The Oakland Cuban Culture November Meetup DESCRIPTION:The Oakland Cuban Culture Meetup Group\n\nIf you would like the know where events are happening in the bay area.\nA group of us are planni ng a Summit in Oakland - 2010.\nWe will be promoting culture\, dance\, educ ational opportunities and network.\n\nSee you Nov 12 HR 3\n\nOakland\, CA 94612 - USA\n\nThursday\, November 12 at 6:00 PM\n\nDetails: http://www.mee tup.com/The-Oakland-Cuban-Culture-Meetup-Group/calendar/11585709/ LAST-MODIFIED:20091026T152941Z UID:event_11585709@meetup.com CLASS:PUBLIC CREATED:20091009T020330Z DTSTAMP:20091112T080347Z DTSTART:20091113T020000Z DTEND:20091113T040000Z GEO:37.82;-122.24 URL:http://www.meetup.com/The-Oakland-Cuban-Culture-Meetup-Group/calendar/1 1585709/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Agile Lawyers Association (ALASSN) November Meetup DESCRIPTION:Agile Lawyers Association (ALASSN)\n\nThis is a place holder Me etUp\, I want to go take a look at the venue\, find out more about it.

Here is a review of national bestseller "Liberty and Tyranny: A Conservative Manifesto."\n\nFrom conservative talk radio's fastest-growing superstar...\n\nNew York Times bestselling phenomen on and author of the groundbreaking critique of the Supreme Court\, Men in Black\, and the deeply personal dog lover's memoir Rescuing Sprite\, Mark R . Levin now delivers the work that characterizes both his devotion to his m ore than 5 million listeners and his love of our country and the legacy of our Founding Fathers: Liberty and Tyranny is Mark R. Levin's clarion call t o conservative America\, a new manifesto for the conservative movement for the 21st century.\n\nIn the face of the modern liberal assault on Constitut ion-based values\, an attack that has steadily snowballed since President R oosevelt's New Deal of the 1930s and resulted in a federal government that is a massive\, unaccountable conglomerate\, the time for re-enforcing the i ntellectual and practical case for conservatism is now. Conservative belief s in individual freedoms do in the end stand for liberty for all Americans\ , while liberal dictates lead to the breakdown of civilized society -- in s hort\, tyranny. Looking back to look to the future\, Levin writes "conserva tism is the antidote to tyranny precisely because its principles are our fo unding principles." And in a series of powerful essays\, Levin lays out how conservatives can counter the liberal corrosion that has filtered into eve ry timely issue affecting our daily lives\, from the economy to healthcare\ , global warming\, immigration\, and more -- and illustrates how change\, a s seen through the conservative lens\, is always prudent\, and always an en hancement to individual freedom.\n\nAs provocative\, well-reasoned\, robust \, and informed as his on-air commentary\, Levin's narrative will galvanize listeners to begin a new era in conservative thinking and action. Liberty and Tyranny provides a philosophical\, historical\, and practical framework for revitalizing the conservative vision and ensuring the preservation of American society.\n\nSan Mateo\, CA 94403 - USA\n\nThursday\, November 12 at 6:30 PM\n\nPhoto: http://photos1.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/4/5/6/eve nt_10381110.jpeg\n\nAttending: 4\n\nDetails: http://www.meetup.com/Conserva tive-Singles-Social-Group/calendar/11374515/ LAST-MODIFIED:20090915T025407Z UID:event_11374515@meetup.com CLASS:PUBLIC CREATED:20090915T024556Z DTSTAMP:20091112T080347Z DTSTART:20091113T023000Z DTEND:20091113T043000Z GEO:37.48;-122.33 URL:http://www.meetup.com/Conservative-Singles-Social-Group/calendar/113745 15/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Shecky's Girls Night Out !

The very way you answer this question can mean the difference of tens of thousands of dollars every year for you.\n\nMost health care practitioners immediately answer in a wa y that causes people to think to themselves\, “Oh\, just another one of tho se!”. Yet\, having worked with thousands of Entrepreneurs and Service Profe ssionals\, we have discovered that there are simple techniques to get peopl e completely curious about what you do and get on the path to creating such extreme value\, that you can charge almost unlimited amounts of money for what you do.\n\nThe difference lies in understanding the characteristics be tween commodity markets and value markets. If you don’t understand the diff erences and how to formulate your words as a health care practitioner to be experienced as a value market service provider or product\, then you are l eaving ridiculous amounts of money on the table\, and loosing opportunities that could be catapulting you to a solid 6 months waiting list of clients. \nPresented by specialized Business & NLP trainers\, this session unveils t he core elements that cause this infinite curiosity and how to masterfully build your value. Highly skilled Entrepreneurs and Service Professionals\, when using these new techniques\, notice extreme results immediately in the ir professional lives.\n\nContent included in training:\n\n• A step-by-step process to create outrageous value from the answer to this one little ques tion\n• How to go straight to the spot that drives buyers the most\n• 3 way s to cause those listening to you to be fully engaged and experiencing you as the most important person in the room\n• Practical and explicit NLP tech niques to start causing others to experience you as invaluable.\n\nTraining provided by Jeff Slayter of World's Hidden Masters\n\nThere is no charge f or this event.\n\nSan Francisco\, CA 94107 - USA\n\nThursday\, November 12 at 7:00 PM\n\nPhoto: http://photos2.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/a/4/e/a/ event_8622218.jpeg\n\nAttending: 11\n\nDetails: http://www.meetup.com/SF-In tegrative-Health-Network/calendar/11719506/ LAST-MODIFIED:20091102T173735Z UID:event_11719506@meetup.com CLASS:PUBLIC CREATED:20091027T014201Z DTSTAMP:20091112T080347Z DTSTART:20091113T030000Z DTEND:20091113T050000Z GEO:37.77;-122.4 URL:http://www.meetup.com/SF-Integrative-Health-Network/calendar/11719506/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:" International Latin Rumba Ladies Styling " DESCRIPTION:Susan's Dance Studio Group\n\nEvery Thursday International Lati n with Silke"\nRumba Ladies Styling\nIsolations & Body Rolls Technique\n7:0 0pm-8:30pm\n$17 per lesson\, $60 for 4 weeks session\n\nSan Jose\, CA 9513 1 - USA\n\nThursday\, November 12 at 7:00 PM\n\nPhoto: http://photos4.meetu pstatic.com/photos/event/b/c/6/d/event_10608237.jpeg\n\nAttending: 1\n\nDet ails: http://swingdancing.meetup.com/154/calendar/11724035/ LAST-MODIFIED:20091027T170052Z UID:event_11724035@meetup.com CLASS:PUBLIC CREATED:20091027T170052Z DTSTAMP:20091112T080347Z DTSTART:20091113T030000Z DTEND:20091113T050000Z GEO:37.39;-121.89 URL:http://swingdancing.meetup.com/154/calendar/11724035/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Women's Drum Circle DESCRIPTION:The Bay-Area Drum Circle Meetup\n\nWomen's Drum Circle\n\nThurs day evenings\, 7 - 8:30 pm\, Oct 29\, Nov 5\, Nov 12th\n(may extend if enou gh women are interested!)\n\nCenter for Spiritual Living\n1195 Clark Street \, SJ 95125\n\n$10 love donation per session\n(nobody turned away)\n\nthan ks!\nHeather\n\nSan Jose\, CA 95125 - USA\n\nThursday\, November 12 at 7:0 0 PM\n\nPhoto: http://photos2.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/7/8/9/a/event_8 370874.jpeg\n\nAttending: 4\n\nDetails: http://drumcircle.meetup.com/321/ca lendar/11729456/ LAST-MODIFIED:20091028T023513Z UID:event_11729456@meetup.com CLASS:PUBLIC CREATED:20091028T023513Z DTSTAMP:20091112T080347Z DTSTART:20091113T030000Z DTEND:20091113T050000Z GEO:37.44;-121.89 LOCATION:San Jose Center for Spiritual Living\, - 1195 Clark St - San Jose\ , CA 95125 - USA URL:http://drumcircle.meetup.com/321/calendar/11729456/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:11/12 -SVL does Zen Lounge Happy Hr DESCRIPTION:Silicon Valley Ladies -Chic and Lovin' it!\n\nHey chickas\,\nZe n lounge has a fabulous happy hr specials on cocktails and fun music.\nJoin the great ladies for a fun time and conversation!\n\n$1 Coors Lite\n$2 Cha mpagne\n$3 Martinis (lots of fun flavors)\n$4 Don Julio Shots\n\nThose inte rested in dinner\, we can meet at 6pm and have dinner beforehand!\n:)\nVana e\n\nMountain View\, CA 94041 - USA\n\nThursday\, November 12 at 7:00 PM\n \nPhoto: http://photos3.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/b/3/3/8/event_3945880 .jpeg\n\nAttending: 19\n\nDetails: http://www.meetup.com/siliconvalleyladie s/calendar/11733589/ LAST-MODIFIED:20091028T174301Z UID:event_11733589@meetup.com CLASS:PUBLIC CREATED:20091028T174301Z DTSTAMP:20091112T080347Z DTSTART:20091113T030000Z DTEND:20091113T050000Z GEO:37.41;-122.05 LOCATION:Zen/Buddha Lounge - 251 Castro - Mountain View\, CA 94041 - USA URL:http://www.meetup.com/siliconvalleyladies/calendar/11733589/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:SoccerSculpt - Alta Plaza DESCRIPTION:SoccerSculpt\n\nNOTE: For Alta Plaza Park weekday workouts\, pl ease wear your running shoes\, not cleats\, as we will be doing off-grass t raining as well. \n\n***First session is $15.00 - Second session is FREE*** \n\nCome join us for a great one hour work out!
