You've got to get t here no later than 6:00pm (5:30pm would be better) in order to get in to se e the movie (which starts at 7:00pm). Entry isn't guaranteed\, so get there \, hop in line\, and someone with a NAKID shirt will be along shortly to gi ve you a screener ticket! Fall and Winter NAKIDs only are allowed to this e vent.\n\nIf you RSVP Yes and don't show\, you will no longer be allowed at any NAKID event for a year.\n\nPIRATE RADIO is the newest ensemble comedy f rom filmmaker Richard Curtis (screenwriter of Four Weddings and a Funeral a nd Notting Hill\, and writer/director of Love Actually)\, spinning the irre verent yet fact-based tale of a seafaring band of rogue rock and roll deeja ys whose “pirate radio” captivated and inspired 1960s Britain. Playing the music that rocked a nation and a decade\, the group boldly and hilariously defies the government that tries to shut them down.\n\nBroadcasting live 24 /7 from an old tanker anchored in the middle of the North Sea (just beyond British jurisdiction)\, Radio Rock sends out a vibrant and unifying signal to millions across the nation\, ranging in age from wide-eyed pre-teens sec retly tuning in long past their bedtimes to everyday people in need of a mu sical pick-me-up. The Radio Rock roster\, overseen by unflappable station o wner (and ship’s captain) Quentin (Bill Nighy)\, includes a risk-prone Amer ican known only as The Count (Philip Seymour Hoffman)\; mystic deejay royal ty Gavin (Rhys Ifans)\; slyly amorous Dave (Nick Frost)\; idiosyncratic New Zealander Angus (Rhys Darby)\; the rarely seen Bob (Ralph Brown)\; the apt ly named Thick Kevin (Tom Brooke)\; lovelorn Simon (Chris O’Dowd)\; ladies’ magnet Mark (Tom Wisdom)\; shy Harold (Ike Hamilton)\; reporter News John (Will Adamsdale)\; and lesbian ship’s cook Felicity (Katherine Parkinson). One night in 1966\, Quentin’s teenaged godson Carl (Tom Sturridge) comes ab oard. While Carl harbors romantic aspirations that he hopes will be fulfill ed during one of the biweekly visits by Radio Rock’s prettiest fans\, he al so hopes to find out more about his long-absent father…\n\nAs the ship sails on and rocks out\, what Carl and the freewheeling\, f ree-loving Radio Rock gang don’t know is that back in London\, landlocked g overnment minister Dormandy (Kenneth Branagh) has embarked on a vehement cr usade to silence their signal – permanently. To stay afloat and keep their devoted audience plugged in\, the crew will have to band together and trust in the power of music like never before.\n\nPIRATE RADIO will open nationw ide on Friday\, November 13th.\nIt is rated R with a running time of approx imately 120 minutes.\n\nTo view the trailer visit: http://www.focusfeatures .com/focusfeatures/film/pirate_radio\n\nWashington\, DC 20015 - USA\n\nThu rsday\, November 12 at 6:00 PM\n\nPhoto: http://photos3.meetupstatic.com/ph otos/event/4/2/c/4/event_10877092.jpeg\n\nAttending: 22\n\nDetails: http:// www.meetup.com/nakidkickball/calendar/11679649/ LAST-MODIFIED:20091021T190700Z UID:event_11679649@meetup.com CLASS:PUBLIC CREATED:20091021T185459Z DTSTAMP:20091112T055217Z DTSTART:20091112T230000Z DTEND:20091113T010000Z GEO:38.91;-77.02 LOCATION:AMC Mazza Gallerie - 5300 Wisconsin Avenue\, NW\, on 3rd Floor - W ashington\, DC 20015 - USA URL:http://www.meetup.com/nakidkickball/calendar/11679649/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Got Yoga? and Laughter Yoga in MD/DC/VA Meetup DESCRIPTION:Got Yoga? and Laughter Yoga in MD/DC/VA\n\nFUN YOGAMIX IN GREEN BELT\, MD / 12mtgs\n\nMust register through the Greenbelt Community Center\ n\nFUN YOGAMIX 452220-1\n\nA fun and gentle yoga mix of breathing\, poses\, meditation and\nlaughter therapy.

Liebeshungrige Anfänge r lernen die Formel dafür auf die harte Tour: Sie besteht aus einem Drittel demütigender Peinlichkeit und zwei Dritteln Ärger – nur wer echtes Glück h at\, den schubst das Schicksal vielleicht in die richtige Richtung. Wer heu te einen Partner sucht\, steht vor einem unüberschaubaren Labyrinth aus Web sites\, hektischen Lunchterminen und Heerscharen von Freunden und Verwandte n\, die garantiert immer die falschen Typen empfehlen.\nKindergärtnerin Sar ah Nolan \, 30+\, ist seit acht Monaten geschieden – jetzt können es ihre K ollegen und Verwandten nicht mehr länger mit ansehen. Sie wünschen ihr alle s erdenklich Gute\, und mit den besten Absichten nehmen sie die Sache in ei ner konzertierten Aktion selbst in die Hand\, um Sarah vom Sofa und wieder auf den Heiratsmarkt zu bekommen – so oder so. Allen voran stellen Sarahs S chwestern Carol und Christine eine Liste potenzieller Partner zusammen. Unt erdessen ist ihr verwitweter Vater Bill seiner Zeit schon weit voraus: Er hat den Internet-Dates-Markt erfolgreich aufgerollt und sich im Netz die un konventionelle Dolly geangelt – und daneben noch eine ganze Reihe weiterer Damen\, deren Namen seine Töchter ständig durcheinanderbringen. Carol und Christine sind begeistert und wollen auch Sarah unbedingt ein Cyber-Date ve rmitteln\, indem sie sich als Sarah ausgeben und online auf perfectmatch.co m ihre Vorstellungen formulieren\, mit dem verlockenden Text: 'Üppig\, sinn lich\, verführerisch und fröhlich. Weiße Autofahrerin sucht den besonderen Mann\, um Nächte unter dem Sternenhimmel mit ihm zu teilen. Muss Hunde möge n.' Und dann warten sie auf Antwort. Bald darauf wird Sarah von Anfragen er wartungsvoller Kandidaten überschwemmt\, die sich jedoch bei urkomischen\, katastrophalen ersten Dates als völlig ungeeignet erweisen. Unter ihnen kom mt allerdings der attraktive und gut situierte\, aber seltsam unbeholfene A nwärter Jake Anderson durchaus in die engere Wahl. Er ist ein Idealist\, de r Romantik mindestens in der Preisklasse von 'Doktor Schiwago' erwartet. Ja ke sucht vielleicht doch ein wenig zu intensiv und ist also nicht ganz das\ , was Sarah jetzt braucht. Doch gleichzeitig lernt sie den frisch geschiede nen Vater eines ihrer Schützlinge näher kennen: Der charmante und ausgeglic hene Bob Connor passt derart gut zu ihr\, dass sie es kaum für möglich hält . Geht das mit rechten Dingen zu? \n\nSarahs komische und nicht immer einfa che Odyssee zahlt sich schließlich aus: Vorsichtig lässt sie sich wieder au f ihre Gefühle ein und lernt ihren eigenen Instinkten zu trauen. Endlich be greift sie\, was die Familie ihr hartnäckig ans Herz legen möchte: Man soll te den Glauben an die Liebe niemals verlieren.\n\nBaltimore\, MD 21231 - U SA\n\nThursday\, November 12 at 7:00 PM\n\nPhoto: http://photos4.meetupstat ic.com/photos/event/a/6/7/1/event_402609.jpeg\n\nAttending: 17\n\nDetails: http://german.meetup.com/50/calendar/11639229/ LAST-MODIFIED:20091016T032534Z UID:event_11639229@meetup.com CLASS:PUBLIC CREATED:20091016T032534Z DTSTAMP:20091112T055217Z DTSTART:20091113T000000Z DTEND:20091113T020000Z GEO:39.29;-76.62 LOCATION:Baltimore Kickers Clubhouse - 26 South Broadway - Baltimore\, MD 21231 - USA URL:http://german.meetup.com/50/calendar/11639229/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:MetroDC Flash Game Developers Meetup DESCRIPTION:MetroDC Flash Game Developers\n\nSilver Spring\, MD 20910 - US A\n\nThursday\, November 12 at 7:00 PM\n\nAttending: 1\n\nDetails: http://w ww.meetup.com/metrodcfgd/calendar/11676875/ LAST-MODIFIED:20091021T114402Z UID:event_11676875@meetup.com CLASS:PUBLIC CREATED:20091021T114402Z DTSTAMP:20091112T055217Z DTSTART:20091113T000000Z DTEND:20091113T020000Z GEO:39.0;-77.04 URL:http://www.meetup.com/metrodcfgd/calendar/11676875/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Baltimore Foodies November Meetup DESCRIPTION:Baltimore Foodies\n\nPlease go to our main website - Baltimore Foodies - to see the whole menu and place your reservations\n\nwww.baltfood ies.com \n\nPlease sign up for our weekly e-letter there also.

First\, Cor y Casanave and Tom Digre of Model Driven Solutions will demonstrate publish ing models and architectures as linked open data (LOD). This will be follow ed with a case study and demo by Greg Bardwell of Innovative Query\, on Sem antic Technology and Enterprise Applications.\n\nPublishing models and arch itectures as LOD\n\nThis talk will focus on the business case and technolog y support for publishing models and architectures as linked open data (LOD) . The business case for this is that architectures are more valuable when t hey are visible\, shared and linked. Publishing government architectural d ata supports the president’s open government initiative in support of visib ility\, collaboration and participation. Publishing as LOD fits with the e merging thinking on the best way for government data to be published in an accessible\, web based\, linkable and query able form based on standards.\n \nSome background on how to leverage LOD for government architectures can b e found in the ISWC presentation\, here: http://lib.modeldriven.org/MDLibra ry/trunk/Pub/Presentations/ISWC_OpenGovernmentArchitectures.ppt\n\nGIVE US YOUR MODELS! If you will provide ModelDriven.org with your XMI or RDF base d models with a license to publish the model data on the internet\, we will publish them as part of our demonstration architectural data server at no charge. This data could then also be published on data.gov or any other da ta registry. Our EKB server is capable of publishing any XMI file (UML\, X ML-Schema\, BPMN\, SoaML\, Etc) as LOD. More information on the EKB projec t can be found here: http://portal.modeldriven.org/project/EKB\n\nWe will t hen organize these models for presentation as data (with web page access as well) on the demonstration server.\n\nSpeakers - Part 1\n\nCory Casanave ( Bio available soon)\n\nTom Tigre (Bio available soon)\n\nSemantic Technolog y and Enterprise Applications\n\nThis talk will discuss how semantic techno logy will be applied to a case within Air Force Acquisitions to build a Sem antic Business Intelligence (SBI) system for their unstructured data. (http ://www.innovativequery.com/Case_Studies/index.html).\n\nTo start\, Innovati ve Query will briefly present IQeXplore – a Semantic application platform w ith tools and API for search/discovery\, visualization\, and collaboration. This software is based on W3C standards and includes connectors to enterpr ise data sources\, Natural Language Processing (NLP)\, semantic analysis wi th custom ontologies\, enterprise search integration\, full-text search\, c ollaboration\, as well as UI for semantic discovery/navigation and visualiz ation features. \n\nFor the Air Force\, as with any organization\, using a nd getting the value out of 100+ data repositories is a timely and costly t ask. Their goal is simple…. to make their vast amounts of unstructured text content understandable an d to connect and explore unstructured information from contractual document s with other data. Air Force Acquisitions understood they needed to go beyo nd the ability to do simple keyword search and clustering to achieve their goal. In short\, the Air Force wants to build a Semantic Business Intellige nce (SBI) system incorporating their unstructured content with the ability to identify and visualize relationships between people\, contracts\, organi zations\, etc and the related projects\, reports\, and budgets.\n\nCome see how use of semantic technology is solving real enterprise problems with a linked open data approach within the military.\n\nSpeaker - Part 2\n\nGreg Bardwell\nFounder & CEO of Innovative Query\, Inc. \nhttp://www.innovativeq uery.com/\n\nGreg Bardwell is a software executive and entrepreneur. He is currently the founder and CEO of his second software company focusing on kn owledge management and discovery tools being sold as an enterprise applicat ion. He was the founder and CEO of an e-Learning company which he ran for 1 2 years. Prior to this he worked for six years for NASA and the Naval Resea rch Laboratory.

(We're doing this in conjunction with SingleVolunteers.) Making the Walk extra special is that it's fotoweekdc\, so our last stop\, Washington Schoo l of Photography\, will be very festive. And the town of Bethesda's own wa lks have ended for the season giving us the "group" turf. Following the wa lk\, at around 8:15\, we will head to Sala Thai where they have a large ups tairs room for us and live jazz downstairs. Dishes are around $10\, so it i s quite reasonable. It's important in this walk that you show interest in the art and photos that you'll see. Gallery owners are wonderful people\, but they expect a level of respect from visitors. If we do that simple thi ng\, we'll have an amazing\, low-cost evening of wine\, art\, food\, music and great company. I also ask that you try to stay for dinner. The group b onds well during the walk and it works best if most people come to dinner. (Obviously\, things come up\, but I'll need to give the restaurant a numbe r.)

Currently\, I am an investigator with Eastern Paranormal Research (EPR ) based out of Accokeek\, Maryland (http://www.easternparanormalresearch.co m/)\, and I am the case manager for Paranormal Research and Investigation S ociety of Maryland (PRISMd.) based out of Catonsville\, Maryland (www.freew ebs.com/PRISMd).\n\nA combination of my love for American History and being an avid reader of Stephen King since I was 8 years old is what fueled my c uriosity and desire to learn more about the paranormal. Over the years\, I have been lucky enough to work and meet some of the most known names in th e field\, investigated a number of places that are historically significant as well as help private homeowners understand what might be happening in t heir dwellings\, and been able to network with some great investigators fro m across the country. \n\nI was born and raised outside of Annapolis\, Mar yland\, a location full of some of the earliest history of this country. I have lived in various locations in Maryland as well as a short-time spent in Georgia. Currently\, I reside in the suburbs between Baltimore and Anna polis with my teenage son in a home that has a spirit of its own. My quest for answers as taken me across the country to various locales where I have collected a plethora of evidence of the supernatural\, including pictures\ , videos\, and EVPs. My desire to learn is never quenched and I am activel y seeking out new locations to investigate.\n\nIn between investigations an d writing\, I spend my free time volunteering at Point Lookout Lighthouse i n Scotland\, Maryland. Located at the southern tip of Maryland's Western S hore\, the lighthouse and surrounding park have a deep history and many doc umented spirits that roam the ground. Home to a POW camp during the Civil War\, the land has seen its share of atrocities and human suffering. Sever al times throughout the year\, we allow the lighthouse to be investigated b y groups that are interested in gathering their own evidence at "America's Most Haunted Lighthouse". All monies raised by such events\, and others we hold throughout the year\, go towards the preservation of the lighthouse. For more information\, please visit http://www.pllps.org/. If you are int erested in conducting an investigation of the lighthouse\, please click on the "Visit" link on that page to review available dates and contact informa tion to arrange the event.\n\n\nhttp://photos1.meetupstatic.com/photos/even t/5/5/2/c/thumb_11121804.jpegRosemary Ellen Guiley is a leading expert on t he paranormal\, with 42 books in print on a wide variety of subjects.

Her newest release is The Encyclopedia of Demons & Demonology\, wh ich sold out of its first printing in two weeks. Rosemary does original fi eld work in paranormal investigations and spirit communications research.

Located behind Zetin ya\, Oya is an often-overlooked gem in the Penn Quarter dining-out scene. Although Oya has had more than a few chef changes over the last few years\, the restaurant has really hit its stride blending elements of modern\, Fre nch and Asian cuisine in creative and flavorful dishes.
