"description": "Welcome to the Toronto AngularJS meet up. We generally try to meet the 3rd Wednesday of every month.\nAngularJS is the future of web development. It's so much better than everything else you'll shed tears of joy as you finally shed the trauma of out-of-control unobtrusive JavaScript (how on earth do you figure out what a page does?), jQuery (amazing but it doesn't scale), overloaded CSS (update at your own risk!) and the resulting expensive and unmaintainable web applications. AngularJS is to jQuery what jQuery is to non-library JavaScript. It's that good.\nThe 5 D's of AngularJS:\n1. DRY. Don't repeat yourself, which means no boilerplate.\n2. Declarative. HTML is the template and markup with AngularJS directives is the templating language. This works perfectly thanks to the next two D's.\n3. Dependency injection. Now I'm crying. You can actually test AngularJS apps, but more importantly you have scoping kung-fu where everything is modular, decoupled, and has a clearly logical place to go. It's pretty, implicit, magical, and it fixes 90% of what's wrong with every other JavaScript framework.\n4. Data-binding. Now I'm openly weeping with joy. Data-binding in a dependency managed, magically scoped, declarative, and DRY language is beautiful, amazingly succinct and powerful. Data-binding isn't the start with Angular- it's result. And this is the essence of Angular- the magic is in how everything works together. Dry + Declarative + Dependency Injection + Data-binding ALL work together. Remove one of them and AngularJS isn't AngularJS.\n5. Designer-Friendly. Your CSS will no longer look like you wrote it while on crack, and you can see within the HTML the general outline of what those developers are doing. And with that, you are free to go to town on the markup so long as you don't delete the ng- magic tags. Yes, dear designer, you can change the markup and style the application without destroying the business logic. How cool is that.\nSo there you have it.",

"description": "When I was teaching Rails in Manhattan - I had created an \"after school\" program for adventurous students called Rails xTreme. Students loved it because it was more open, they could explore the material more without having to worry about assignments or homework. It was a safe and fun place to push Rails to the limit.\nI have decided to do that again. With Javascript.\nI don't actually have a meeting place right now - so it's going to be at me and my gf's house in Arrington (east of franklin). It will be once a week on Saturday for a few hours. I'm thinking 1pm and 4pm. If any of you have alternate suggestions I'm open to that. The first one will be this Saturday, January 25th.\nNow the important part. What will happen at these meetups? Well something that rarely occurs at other meetups - we will be creating real, live, actual running websites using the latest technologies in Javascript, Node, Angular, and much more. You will be on the cutting edge of web development creating mind-blowing sites in a fraction of the time it would take using less advanced techniques.\nHere is a PARTIAL list of things that you will be learning. \nBasic Javascript review, jQuery review, Ajax review, Node, Express, Databases (Postgres, CouchDB, MongoDB, Redis, MariaDB, Cassandra), Map Reduce (Hadoop), Web Deployment (Amazon EC2), Angular, Test Driven Development with Mocha, Jasmine, Qunit, Protractor and Karma, HTML 5 Technologies, Encryption, Socket IO, Audio/Video Streaming, Web Sockets, Game Development, Web RTC, Web Workers, Offline Storage, WebGL, Canvas, SVG, Camera API, Mobile Application Development, Touch Events, Geolocation, Device Orientation, CSS 3, Scaling your site to handling thousands of simultaneous connections, Advanced Linux, Pair Programming.\n Plus will get into loading a node server onto a $25 Rasperry Pi linux box and remotely controlling your home or creating autonomous robots that can guard your home while away. All this and more - much more!\nThis is the type of environment where startups are incubated. Maybe you could be develop the next facebook at the meetup along with your future co-founders.\nDon't just be a coder. Be an eXtreme coder!",

We'll begin each meetup with a recap of the most interesting news each month related to JavaScript tools and frameworks, browsers, HTML5, mobile, web architecture and anything else that modern web developers would want to know about. You won't want to miss this!\nTechnical Deep Dive\nWe want each meetup to focus on one or two specific areas of web technology and dive into them deeply enough to be really informative.  There are so many tools, libraries and frameworks out there that no one has time to evaluate everything. Just a few examples of things we might dive into, in no particular order: RequireJS, Bower, Jasmine, Backbone, CoffeeScript, HAML, SASS/LESS, jQuery, Angular, etc.  Basically, you don't have time to attend every topic-specific meetup in the world, so we'll bring the most interesting topics to our meetup!",

We’re nurturing cohesive communities today to empower them with more relevant and accessible peer-based tech education tomorrow.\nO HackerNest é um movimento comunitário sem fins lucrativos focado na construção de comunidades tech apoiadoras, como as do Silicon Valley, em todas as cidades - reforçando globalmente os ecossistemas locais de tecnologia, através de eventos sociais despretensiosos e hackathons. Estamos fomentando comunidades coesas(precisa desse adjetivo? Achei que a frase ficou meio estranha) hoje, para capacitá-las no futuro com educação tecnológica mais relevante e acessível, baseada em pares.\n\nConectar pessoas é incrível!\n...e a benfeitoria comunitária gera um carma(energia) fabuloso(a).\n\nComo? Fazemos isso amontoando muitas pessoas inteligentes e talentosas em um espaço com cerveja grátis. Nossos descontraídos Tech Socials são no momento um do maiores Meetups de tecnologia do Canadá (estamos em diversas cidades).\n\n\n\nNossos membros - diversificados e altamente técnicos. Desenvolvedores, designers, engenheiros, profissionais de mídias/negócios sociais, empreendedores, investidores, etc reúnem-se regularmente para se socializar, falar de tecnologia, em alguns casos ouvir apresentação ou assistir demonstrações, e conhecer futuros co-fundadores, colaboradores, patrocinadores e amigos. Temos uma política rigorosa de babacas-não.\n\nQueremos uma rede internacional de \"células dissidentes\" HackerNest surgindo em todos os lugares - de cidades \"desconectadas\" à centros de inovação em plena expansão - para resgatar Nerds e Geeks de porões isolados, escritórios tediosos e da visão em túnel centrada no código (quando tudo na vida do indivíduo gira em torno de códigos de programação).\n\n\n\nNós amamos nerdcore.\n...pessoas tech, eventos tech, amor tech.\n\n\n\nPor trás das cortinas.\nSomos apenas pessoas regulares, trabalhadoras e com o pé-no-chão. Você não nos notaria na rua. (não chamamos a atenção) O rico passado / presente da nossa equipe inclui associações com Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Y-Combinator, ING Direct, DDB, o PNUD, UBS, ESRI, TEDx, etc, etc\n\n\n\nNós gostamos de esgrima, tatuagens Irezumi, futebol, escalada, história em quadrinhos, hackear hardware x86, kung fu, meditação, fazer daisy-chaining de kits arduino, \"Wikipidear\", \"Googlar\" e todos os tipos de coisas funky.\n\n\n\nA maioria de nós trabalha em período integral (às vezes em 2 turnos!) e possui projetos em andamento, mas estamos orgulhosos em contribuir com o nosso tempo e energia para algo que é fundamentalmente bom para o mundo.\n\n\n\natmosfera relaxante + bebidas na faixa + pessoas brilhantes\n=\nfogos de artifício\n\n\n\nTornamo-nos um dos maiores Meetups de tecnologia do Canadá, em um ano, antes mesmo de iniciarmos atividades em outras cidades. Hoje temos \"células dissidentes\" em várias cidades pelo mundo.\n\n\n\nNossa intenção é complementar e fortalecer ecossistemas de Nerd / Geeks existentes - nós viemos em paz. Este não é um negócio, ninguém é dono do HackerNest. Conceitualmente, é o ideal de uma comunidade forte e apoiadora da tecnologia - qualquer pessoa que não seja um babaca pode fazer parte dela.\n\n\n\nInteressado em formar um HackerNest na sua cidade?

Feel free to bring laptops, projects, and questions. Monthly meetings may include:\n\nUses of Angular: 5-30 min presentations on your projects - potentially \"lightening round\" style or long form, all in on session or broken across sessions\nWorking sessions: pre-organized working breakout groups that make real stuff; some ideas - tutorials, small apps/\"practice what you learn\" sessions, presentations for other meetups\nGuest experts: We're actively recruiting a number of experts\nHow-to: Many of us are looking to learn AngularJS. Let's share the love.\nLatest and greatest: Does your company have best practices to share? Are you obsessed with code and file structure? Have you heard any good AngularJS rumors lately?\nYour idea here: Bring 'em on.\n\nng-Helpers Let me know if you're an experienced AngularJS developer willing to answer questions or lead discussions. For each meeting, I'll give some willing experts AngularJS name tags for easy identification by those with questions. Name tags will indicate willingness to help, not AngularJS omniscience. If you have an idea for a meetup, please don't hesitate to contact me.",

"name": "The Hudson Valley Rail Trail Riders",
"description": "This group is dedicated to riding bicycles for fun , fitness , and recreation. Keeping that in mind , the majority of the riding will be done off road , away from the busy , possibly distracted cell phone and texting automobile drivers . We will explore the various rail trails in Dutchess , Orange , Ulster , and Columbia counties.\n\n Most of there trails are paved , except for the Wallkill Valley Rail Trail in New Paltz , the Hurley trail in Kingston, and the Stewart Buffer Lands in Rock Tavern , which are a mix of crushed stone and hard packed dirt. While any bike could be used on the paved paths , a dedicated road bike would not be very comfortable on a gravel and dirt trail. A hybrid , comfort , or mountain bike would be more comfortable in this environment. The choice of ride , though , for the various trails , is entirely up to you.\n\n So , for anyone that used to ride and wants to get back into it ( clean the dust and/or clothing off of it and take it out of the basement/shed...) , or anyone who presently rides that would like some company , check out the nice rail trails that are springing up all over the Hudson Valley.\n\n Some of the trails are relatively short ( 2.5 miles one way) , while others are a pretty decent length (5-11 miles one way).\n\n During the ride or afterwards , if there is any interest to grab a bite to eat , or something to drink , or just an ice cream cone or shake (depending on our location) , we can play that by ear.\n***********************************************************\nPLEASE BE SURE TO CLICK ON THE \"Pages\" SECTION OF THIS GROUP TO READ ABOUT THE MEETUP \"DISCLAIMER\" AND \"TERMS OF SERVICE\"\n \n \n*************************************************************\n \nLightsey Cycles is  on board as a sponsor for our group. While he doesn't cover any group fees , Kirk is offering our members a 10% discount on purchases , as well as a discount on any rentals that are available.\nWelcome to the Hudson Valley! Lightsey Cycles is a full service bicycle shop located in the Gardiner, NY. Our intention is to serve all members, at all levels, within the cycling community. Young, Old and everyone in between, we envision a place that will create an interest for the new riders and inspire the passionate ones. We at Lightsey Cycles want to be your place to find new and innovative inventions, products, parts, gadgets and accessories as well as your hot spot to find the perfect bicycle for you and your family in the Gunks.",

Simply put, programming tasks that took 10 hours to code in older languages can now be accomplished in 1 hour or less using Ruby. Ruby can be used to write desktop applications, web applications, automation scripts, credit card processing, etc., and is already being used by large companies like Groupon, Hulu, Yellow Pages and Twitter. Rails is the web application framework written to support the Ruby programming language.\nIf attendees are interested in pursuing this topic further, they are encouraged to learn more about the DaVinci Coders (davincicoders.com) 11 week program that is being taught at DaVinci Institute, located in Louisville, CO. DaVinci Coders is designed as a full immersion beginner-level skills-training program with for a maximum of 16 students per session.\nAdvantages to learning Web Development include\n1.)

For those members we will identify the best content management system (CMS that meets their needs such s WordPress and other popular CMS solutions.  We will also explore emerging CMS solutions based on Ruby on Rails such as Locomotive, Radiant and Browser CMS to determine if they are worth the attention and time to implement.\nBig ambitions right, well this is going to be a big group.\nUsing methods pioneered by JumpstartLab and Hungry Academy, we want to grow our own developers, including Ruby on Rails.\nFolks, presentations are great, but this group is about more than that.  We are actually going to build developers, build web sites and new types of online services.\nHow will we accomplish all of this?\n\nPresentations from Ruby on Rails Pros, Javascript, HTML5, WordPress, CakePHP and other evangelists.\nWorkshops (Hands On) introductions to new development tools, coding techniques, plugins, advance features and more\nStudy Groups weekly smaller sessions at different locations to continue using web development toolkits on real world projects or just for fun\nPlugin development to extend the capabilities  of WordPress and other CMS solutions\nHackathons  small and large, including conference size events hosted by our partners.\n\nTalking about web design and development tech and not doing anything useful with it is not what this group is about.  We expect more and want to turn this into a real community of developers of all levels to learn,share and possibly collaborate on real world projects.\nIf this sound like something interesting that you want to be a part of, join us.  If you want to contribute to meetups, become an organizer or even be a moderator at our study halls, just let us know.\n \nDC Web Design Development Tech and Media Authority is a part of Just Dev It (One) Network",

"description": "We love walking the Windham Rail Trail, and thought it would be nice to get a group of mom's and their kids together to walk along and explore the trail with us while making new friends! The Windham Rail-Trail occupies a scenic stretch of abandoned rail ( Manchester and Lawrence) between Range Road (at Rockingham Rd.) in Salem and Windham Road, about 4 miles to the northwest. The Windham Rail-Trail passes by farm pastures, orchards, ponds and marshes through a corridor of trees. Two notable railroad bridges are also found along the trail; one is a keystone archway built from New Hampshire granite in 1849. The trail also has stone-cut ledges—offering relief from the summer heat and sporting multi-colored ice flows during winter. Wildlife is abundant along the trail. Watch for deer, moose, owls, turtles, herrons and beavers, as well as many species of duck and geese. In addition to the old stone walls along the trail, you'll find a cellar hole from an 19th-century sawmill. And the Windham Depot buildings and surrounding property have been designated a historic district by the town of Windham. Sound like fun? Come and join us!",

The workshops will include lessons, Q&A, and guidance from some of Toronto's most experienced Rubyists.\n\n\n Finally, we not only want to learn together, but also make strong connections with one another. This is why we will have social events, such as drinkups and board game nights.",

"description": "This group is for anyone, ANY WHERE with a quad, sidexside or sand Rail or OHV. Not just Centeral California, we want members everywhere, gives us more and better options to get out and be free.\nWe cater to Sport, Utility, Side by Sides, dirt bikes, Sand Rails and any thing you want to have fun on or in and would like some company doing so, ridden once and think you like it or haven't ridden but would like to try it let Herm know, he may be able to help you out.\nThis is a family friendly group, kids love to ride too and not just on a track, that gets boring fast. I like to keep it as interesting possible and still stay safe. Get out see some beautiful places and maybe a critter or two.\n. Everyone that wants to ride anywhere is welcome, we'll find a place and someone to ride with when ever possible.\nNew Membership is $12 per year, as long as you participate, that's in discussions, or rides or what ever you decide to do to be a member.\nDon't participate for 3 Months and you will be removed, thank you for the donation. You want to rejoin it's $12. This covers payment for the site due every 6 months. You want to send me the money, cool. You want to give it to one of the co-organizers on a ride, cool.\nAny excess money will be used for a camping trip, a party, or something that the whole group will be able to participate in.\n\n\nJust about everywhere I ride is a minimum of a 2 hour drive, I'll go farther when time permits, farther still when I can camp out. I have a motor home but I'm just as comfortable in the back of my pickup or a tent.\nThis group is for everyone, regardless of age, what you ride, where you ride or how you ride or drive for that matter,\nI want everyone to feel at home here and post any ride they want with out ridicule,\n\n\nAfter three months of hearing nothing from you I will remove you as a member, you can rejoin anytime if you think you can be a active member, I'm not one that looks at how many members we have, I look at how many active members are participating. None participants will be removed after 3 months, did I say that enough? I am a participation Nazi.\n\n\nIf you can't go but heard of someplace or someone's going, post it! someone else may want to go, or maybe you've been there and can clue us in on what it's like. That's participating\n\n\nI know of quite a few areas, a couple historical sites and always looking for more.\nThis is for the fun-loving folks who couldn't care what the rest of the world thinks, the kind of folks that make getting away from your everyday grind memorable fun.\nI ride to get away from my business wows, on my quad it's ride and don't get hurt, you may have to work the next day, being sore the next day just makes it easier to remember how much fun you had.\nJust because I live in Sacramento doesn't mean that only Sacramentans can join, I don't care where you are, just get out and ride once in a while and take some one with ya or go with someone, when your riding there's only one thing on your mind, the rest don't even come into play. So Enjoy A Day, a Weekend or a Week, you want to ride let us know.\nSeems I never know when I can ride, but when I can I would like to have options and the only way for that to happen is see who's doing what where and if I can I will, count on it. Haven't got wheels? talk to me, (I aint sellin anything so that part I can't help you with). But if your wanting to ride and your serious but don't have a machine yet, let me know, I'll try to put some wheels under ya.\nYour welcome to give me a call, 916-391-6944 and I'll get back to you as soon as possible, you can call my cell 916-202-4376 also.",

We're a friendly group that freely shares knowledge about the Ruby programming language, its libraries and frameworks, such as Ruby on Rails. The group meets at least once a month for talks, demos, hacks and discussions. Meetings are free and open to the public. Developers with any level of Ruby experience or any programming languages background are welcomed to participate.\nHOSTING A MEETUP\n\n\n\n Hosting a Meetup involve making a space available for Meetup attendees (with projector, screen & WiFi), and optionally, providing food & drinks.\n\n\n\n Space\n\n Figure out exactly how many people you can hold. Typical limiting factors are seats, ventilation, bathrooms, and fire code. Then I add 33% to that number to account for no-shows. For example, if your space can hold 45 people, then I set the attendance limit to 60.\n\n\n\n Projector & WiFi\n\n The monthly Meetups consist of 2-4 presentations and we need a projector & screen for the presenters to connect their laptops. WiFi for the attendees is highly desired. You may have to check with your system administrator to make sure you're not opening up your internal network to outsiders.\n\n\n\n Food & Drinks\n\n This is totally optional. If you desire to sponsor food & drink, it typically costs around IDR 40k/RSVP, divided evenly between food & drink. Over the years, we've found pizza to be the best event food - no utensils required, easy to clean up, and suitable as leftover for your staff the next day. Drinks are typically non-alcoholic beverages.",

"name": "Have Recumbent, Will Travel!",
"description": "This group was started because, in 2009, two people got interested in cycling as a recreational activity and decided to make recumbent bicycles their ride of choice.\n\n\n\n At first, we found the closest Rail Trail, but then realized the fact that there are great biking opportunities all over the place!\n\n\n\n We soon became aware that they were a little \"different\". One DF cyclist chided us with the remark \"that looks like a birthing chair.\" We realized we had the last laugh - at a \"rest stop\"  we walked past the chider while he hobbled to the bathroom, looking like HE had just had a baby :-)\n\n\n\n Yes, we have been bitten, we love the speed of the open road as well as the tranquility of the trail. The only thing that makes either ride more fun, is sharing it with friends.\n\n\n\n Thus, we begin our quest - to see how much fun we can have, how many miles we can go, how many different things we can see, with our best feet forward!\n\n\n\n We will plan events that are great for new riders, families with younger riders, and social rides, as well as rides that are a bit more aggressive with the opportunity to work on endurance, technique and speed. Each event will include some time to relax and have fun with members of the group.\n\n\n\n Many events will be in the Washington DC, Maryland and Northern Virginia area, but we will also plan events that are weekend (maybe longer) adventures that will include some hotel stays and/or camping.\n\n\n\n Come on - play with us!",

{
"name": "Southeast Walking Club",
"description": "Welcome\nWe are a London and South East England based hiking club.\nWe organise day walks an hour or 2 by train from London.\nThe walks come from the Saturday Walkers Club website. They all have online walk directions, OS maps and GPS data. Some of them feature in the 2 Time Out Country Walks books.\nOur walks are \"self-led\" - i.e. they do not have a leader. Everyone is responsible for leading them self,  so everyone is expected to have a copy of the route.\nThe organisers only posts the meetup - they do not attend the walk (If they did, they would be effectively be walk leaders, and would require third party liability insurance, meaning the walks couldn't be free)\nMeetup with everyone else\n\nin the front carriage of the suggest train (look for people dressed for hiking),\nor on the station platform at the start of the walk (by the station exit)\nLook out for people who came by car at the station exit.\n\nIntroduce yourself to each other, and have a great time.\nThis may sound a little haphazard, but trust us, it actually works very well.\nOur Plans\nWe aim to build up to organising :\n\nwalks 7 days a week, with several walks at the weekend.\nearly and late starting walks\nshort/easy and longer/harder walks\nwalks with themes, e.g. gay, with children, 20's, 30's, visiting National Trust properties, swimming walks in the summer, etc.\n\nWe were inspired to start this group when we found out that some other groups were charging you to do our walks, and passing them off as their own work.\nOther Meetup groups are welcome to use Saturday Walker's Club walks provided (1) they link to them (\"attribution required\") and (2) if they are  commercial (i.e. that charge to attend the walk) they must contact the SWC first to license use of the walks.\nOur walks are free. Eventually we aim to charge £2 per walk - £1 to cover costs and £1 as a royalty to the walk's author (for the TOCW walks, the money will go to a charity).\nRSVP Policy\nPlease feel free to change your mind at the last minute, especially if its raining, the dog ate your homework, or you overslept. Also feel free to go on a walk you didn't RSVP for. Sorry, no refunds, but then the walks are free anyway :)\nOur Walks\n\nThese walks are open to all, everybody welcome.\nMeet in the front carriage of the train, or on the platform at the start of the walk.\nPlease note that the club just organises the Meetup posts, not the walks themselves. It has no legal existence or insurance. The rota enables people independently walking the route to walk together. As such, you should bring the appropriate Time Out book or a printout of the walk directions.\nThe group is self-organising: do not expect to be led, and feel free to take your own pace, or form into smaller groups.\nThe cognoscenti check the return train times.\nYou can also catch a train from your local station, or connect with the walk at an outer London station, eg. Clapham Junction, East Croydon.\nYou can of course drive to a walk, but check that the start and finish stations are on the same line!\n\nTrain Tickets Advice\nSummary for travel on Weekends and Public Holidays\n\nFor 1 or 2 people, buy a Network Rail Card (£28, 1/3 off fares for up to 4 people).\nFor 3 or 4 people, ask for a Groupsave ticket (4 people travel for the price of 2).\nIf you already have a London Zone season ticket, buy a train ticket from (say) \"Boundary Zone 3\" to your destination.\nIf you don't, and live near a train station, buy a ticket from your local train station direct to your destination (which includes discounted cross London travel by tube if necessary).\nIf you don't, and live near a tube station, buy a 1-Day Travelcard with a Network card discount (£5.60, available from the ticket office only, which open later on weekends...). It covers your tube fare into Central London, and by trains out to Zone 6. At a train station buy a second ticket from \"Boundary Zone 6\" to your destination.\nSome train station ticket machines (eg. Southern) sell \"Boundary Zone x\" tickets. If there's a \"Buy a ticket from another station\" button, select it and type in a station name of BOU to bring up the \"Boundary Zone x\" options.\n\nCurrent News / Special Offers\n\nCheck your local train company: South East Train Company websites, and see below for Railcards (especially the Network Railcard) and Long Term Special Offers.\n\nRailcards\n\nDon't pay full fare! Check the terms and conditions on the Railcard website and buy whichever card will get you discounted train fares (generally 1/3 off)\nNetwork Railcard : All the book walks, and most of the SWC walks are in the area covered by the Network Railcard, so buy this if you are not eligible for any of the other cards; it normally costs £25 for a year and the discount applies to up to four people travelling together, but…\nAnnual season ticket holders : A Gold Card gets equivalent discounts with fewer restrictions without needing to buy a separate Railcard; they can also buy a Network Railcard for a partner or friend for £1\nOther railcards are: Senior (60+), Young Persons (under 26 and students), Family (travel with 1+ children)\n\nTicket Types\n\nBuy Off-peak day return tickets wherever possible - this is what you'll usually be offered. See separate advice below for Weekday Walks. If the walk returns from a different station, check the advice in the walk document and/or ask at your local station\nSuper Off Peak day return tickets: Some rail companies offer special fares, e.g. at the time of writing there is a 'FCC trains only' fare for travel to stations between Three Bridges and Brighton. The best way to find out about these is to search for the journey (starting from London - all stations) on the Network Rail timetable website, and then click fares\nAdvance tickets: Be wary, as they are inflexible - you have to specify both the outward and return trains when you book, and you may not be permitted to break your journey at an intermediate station\n\nLong term special offers\n\nGroupsave tickets: (4 travel for the price of 2) are worth considering if you are travelling with friends and particularly if none of you has a Railcard, but you have to travel together for both the outward and return journeys\nSouthern Train's 1 day off-peak passes : Day Save (£10 for 1 person, or £20 for 4 person - buy a week in advance) and Downlander (£12, includes some buses, buy the day before)\n\nSeason Ticket Holders\n\nIf you have a season ticket covering (say) Zones 1-3, buy a ticket from \"Boundary Zone 3\" to the destination; these aren't available from a machine but you can buy them from any National Rail station to avoid queueing at a busy London terminus\nIf your season ticket is loaded on an Oyster card and the destination is within the Oyster area, buy an Oyster Extension Permit before you start your journey\n\nIf you don't have a Season Ticket...\n\nIf your route involves a journey across London, consider buying a Zones 1-6 Travelcard plus a ticket from \"Boundary Zone 6\" to the destination; this is more flexible than a return ticket and can be cheaper\nIf you live near a train station, consider starting your journey from there. It is usually much cheaper to buy a ticket from there (which includes tube travel between London train terminus if necessary) with the railcard discount, rather than than tube tickets to/from the London terminus and the train ticket from there as well.\n\nWeekday Travel (Monday to Friday excluding Public Holidays)\n\nCheaper \"off peak day return\" tickets (usually half price compared to rush hour prices) are not vaild before 9:30\nRailcard discounts vary with each type of card, eg. Network Railcards have a minimum discounted fare of £13, and can't be used before 10:00\nIf you need to buy a ticket from your local station to central London or a connecting station (e.g. East Croydon) and need to set off before 10am, consider these options: \n\nBuy an off-peak day return (valid after 9.30am) from your local National Rail station to the destination\nBuy an off-peak Zones 1-6 Travelcard (from 9.30am) and then a discounted return ticket from Zone 6 to the destination\nUse an Oyster card for your initial journey and then a discounted return ticket to the destination\n\n\n\nTourists and Visitors to London\n\nIf there are 3 or 4 of you, it's easy - use Groupsave\nTrain tickets for these walks cost around £10 to £20, and a Network Card (which gives 1/3 off) for up to 4 people cost £25. It pays for itself after 4 trips or so.\n\nGeneral Advice\n\nFor destinations in the Amersham/Chesham area, a Zones 1-9 Travelcard is usually best; you can buy these at Underground stations (with the Network Railcard discount) and other TfL outlets but not at National Rail stations\nNote the restrictions which apply to premium services like the Gatwick Express and Southeastern's High Speed Train; the fares are higher and \"Boundary Zone x\" tickets are not valid",

The railroad arrived in 1880 and remains a vital presence in our community. Belen is a major railroad hub for the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad -- the reason for our nickname Hub City. Belen is easily accessible from Interstate 25 and is the southern terminus for the Rail Runner Express commuter trains. Our Alexander Municipal Airport serves those who travel here by plane.\nThere's LOTS going on in our community including Rodeos, Art & Music Festivals, Farmers Markets, Wine & Brews Festivals, Balloon Fiestas, Traditional New Mexico events such as our famous Matanza (pig roast) and Cinco de Mayo celebration, Food Festivals, Sports, Car & Bike Rallies, Free Movies and Live Theater at the Library, the Valencia County Fair, and more!

Becker Street hosts our exciting Street Festivals. Other events are held at Anna Becker Park, Eagle Park, and a host of other venues.\nArea attractions near Belen include the Abo National Monument, Vista del Sol Golf Course, ancient Spanish churches and villages, Isleta Pueblo with its casino and golf course, Nature Preserves and bird watching, and outdoor adventures in the Monzano Mountains. We have fine hotels and good restaurants - including some of the tastiest New Mexican food to be found anywhere. And, from Belen you can hop the Rail Runner and head north to Albuquerque, Santa Fe, or points beyond!\nBelen is a friendly and welcoming place. Many people have strong roots in the area and they embrace everyone, especially folks who love the area and make it their home. The old-fashioned values in the greater Belen area bring citizens together to support each other and their community. The traditional courtesy and good natured wit of our residents is charming and refreshing in today's hectic culture.

We believe in the value of hands-on and topical real-life group learning and sharing. We welcome new and experienced software engineers alike. We rely on our members to come up with examples for review, questions for discussions and tech talks.\n\n\n\n::How is this group different from San Francisco Ruby Meetup Group?\nThis group meets in smaller group and actually help attendants code better by talking about examples of good code and bad code. We discuss design patterns and when to use what techniques, things that call for years of experience and things you cannot learn by googling easily. \nThis group is not about professional networking, listen to tech talks passively or free food. This group is about asking good questions and sharing good design thoughts.\n\n\n\n::What activities should you expect?\n• Ruby clinic/group code review on code samples of peers. \n\n\n• Discussion on design patterns. \n• Deep dive/case study of open source Ruby projects. \n• Work on open source libraries together.\n• Discussion of Meta-programming Techniques and when to use them. \n• Sharing session from well-known Rubyists in San Francisco. \n• Tips on learning iOS, RubyMotion, Javascript frameworks, Node.js from a Ruby background.\n\n\n\n*To meetup staff: please change my email to benzhang@alumni.brown.edu.

"description": "When I was teaching Rails in Manhattan - I had created an \"after school\" program for adventurous students called Rails xTreme. Students loved it because it was more open, they could explore the material more without having to worry about assignments or homework. It was a safe and fun place to push Rails to the limit.\nI have decided to do that again. With Javascript.\nI don't actually have a meeting place right now - so it's going to be at me and my gf's house in Arrington (east of franklin). It will be once a week on Saturday for a few hours. I'm thinking 1pm and 4pm. If any of you have alternate suggestions I'm open to that. The first one will be this Saturday, January 25th.\nNow the important part. What will happen at these meetups? Well something that rarely occurs at other meetups - we will be creating real, live, actual running websites using the latest technologies in Javascript, Node, Angular, and much more. You will be on the cutting edge of web development creating mind-blowing sites in a fraction of the time it would take using less advanced techniques.\nHere is a PARTIAL list of things that you will be learning. \nBasic Javascript review, jQuery review, Ajax review, Node, Express, Databases (Postgres, CouchDB, MongoDB, Redis, MariaDB, Cassandra), Map Reduce (Hadoop), Web Deployment (Amazon EC2), Angular, Test Driven Development with Mocha, Jasmine, Qunit, Protractor and Karma, HTML 5 Technologies, Encryption, Socket IO, Audio/Video Streaming, Web Sockets, Game Development, Web RTC, Web Workers, Offline Storage, WebGL, Canvas, SVG, Camera API, Mobile Application Development, Touch Events, Geolocation, Device Orientation, CSS 3, Scaling your site to handling thousands of simultaneous connections, Advanced Linux, Pair Programming.\n Plus will get into loading a node server onto a $25 Rasperry Pi linux box and remotely controlling your home or creating autonomous robots that can guard your home while away. All this and more - much more!\nThis is the type of environment where startups are incubated. Maybe you could be develop the next facebook at the meetup along with your future co-founders.\nDon't just be a coder. Be an eXtreme coder!",

"name": "Thread City Cyclers",
"description": "If you are interested joining Thread City Cyclers, please register via www.threadcitycyclers.com and we'll let you into our meetup group. \nThe membership cost for this group is $30 for an individual or $50 for a family per year. \nThanks!\n\n\n\nWho We Are\nThese days everybody has to have an official mission statement and goals, so here they are:\nThe mission of the Thread City Cyclers (TCC) is to provide opportunities for cyclists of various skill levels to physically challenge themselves and to train for races and other cycling events in a manner that builds individual performance, teamwork, and goodwill among club members.\n\n\n\n The goals of the club are to:\n\n - Promote performance-based cycling in Connecticut and other locations where TCC activities may take us.\n\n - Develop riding and racing skills.\n\n - Compete in USCF-sanctioned events, particularly at the development level.\n\n - Provide a framework for like-minded individuals to train and socialize.\n\n - Sponsor and support local cycling events including races, group rides, skill clinics, and overnight trips.\n\n - TCC is a sanctioned club of United States of America Cycling (USAC).\nOK, if you need more of that legal yadda, yadda, yadda, please see the links on this site to our by-laws and membership application.\nWho are we really? We are an eclectic group of cyclists based in the greater Windham-Mansfield area of northeast Connecticut. Northeast Connecticut is called the \"Quiet Corner\" and offers miles of rural riding on scenic country roads and rail trails. The club membership is about 130 strong. We have some folks who road race. We have folks who like to do triathalons. We have folks that like to ride the rail trails. We have people who thrive on doing Century Rides, and we have folks who enjoy cyclocross. We have mountain bikers, time trialers, long distance riders, old folks trying to sustain their youth, young bucks and buck'ettes looking to make a name for themselves, folks who ride very fast and some folks who like to ride and smell the flowers. We have veteran riders who make cycling a centerpiece of their lives and beginners who are just starting on the road to more serious riding and are looking for support, equipment tips and advice about how to get better. What unites and sustains us is that we love to ride.\n\n\n\nWhat We Do\nWe ride. Like most cycling clubs the centerpiece of our club activity is our weekly Saturday rides. There is a more detailed explanation of rides and how they work under the TCC Rides link on this web site. Guests are welcome to check out the group rides, but if you end up riding with us more than a couple of times we ask that you become a member so we are covered under our insurance. The club is an organization that functions on email to keep members up to date on changing details of weekly rides and rides that are formed on the spur of the moment. One benefit of membership is that you are on the email list and are kept up to date with all club happenings. There is a link to the Membership section of the site that explains how to join the club and other membership benefits.\n\n\n\n While the weekly rides are our main activity, the club is proud of the varied cycling opportunities and activities that have developed as traditional club fare over the years. In a typical cycling season, we offer opportunities for indoor winter training at Super Future Fitness in North Windham. It is not uncommon to have members out on the roads as weather allows through the winter. A highlight of the winter season are Wednesday night rides on the local rail trails, complete with headlights and warm tights as long as there is not too much ice. The club usually organizes a group purchase of cycling clothing each spring so we are all stylin' in a TCC kit by summer. Extra pieces are made avaialble through our main sponsor Scott's Cyclery in Willimantic.\n\n\n\n Weekly Saturday rides usually start in March with the time shifting earlier each month as the weather warms during the spring. There is usually a Monday night recovery ride out of UCONN or Lebanon, and typically a mid-week Wednesday night ride out of Scott's in Willimantic. As the weather warms through the spring typically groups of members will venture off for century and charity rides across New England. The club usually offers an overnight weekend to some destination in New England. It varies each year. We have been to the Adirondack's, the Colorado Rockies, Cooperstown, Quabbin Reservior, Lincoln NH and Waitsfield VT. Other summer highlights are the Eddy Merckx Ride (the Wednesday evening closest to the summer solstice, Scott Cyclery to Mass State Line and back - 52 miles) and the Willimantic Steeplechase, a late August charity ride to benefit Perception Programs of Windham.\n\n\n\n In October the club sponsors the Mansfield Hollow 'Cross Race, the best Cyclocross race in New England (if we do say so ourselves). The event attracts cyclocross racers from all over the northeast to the premier venue of Mansfield Hollow State Park. The park offers a tough but fair race course and is resplendent in the glory of New England fall foliage.\n\n\n\n There is a social aspect to club activities as well. There is a kick-off meeting to get things rolling in the spring and in December we have a annual pizza bash, with awards of \"distinction\" to celebrate member's follies and foibles of the riding season. Our spontaneous rides organized by email often morph into post ride potluck suppers and it is not uncommon for a ride to end up at a location where cold libations can be purchased. Heck, we even had a trip to a UCONN football game for a tailgating party and there was not a bike to be seen!",

"name": "The Stamford Bicycling Meetup",
"description": "Welcome…\nto the Stamford Bicycling Meetup Group (SBMG).  This is a great place to meet other local cyclists in a social setting were you can make friends, find riding buddies, participate in rigorous training sessions, or rip-up the trails...what ever you want. And, if you just want to relax, kick back & do leisure rides SBMG is also a good place for you.  This group is geared to beginner, intermediate & advanced bikers interested in cycling whether for fitness, competition, or recreation.\nThe SBMG is a motley crew of riders that meet up in and around the Stamford area to do various types of bicycling. We have mountain/off-road bikers that ride at Mianus Park after work during the week, and street riders that meet for casual rides as well a fast paced endurance rides around Stamford.\nThis Meetup is actually a social networking forum more than a group.  The forum is a means for people in the biking community to find each other and get together for rides.  As such SBMG welcomes and support community originated event. You can think of the SBMG website as a community message board dedicated toward bicycling in Stamford, Norwalk, Greenwich, Rowayton, and beyond. When you are thinking about doing a bike ride, please use the SBMG to find others that are also interested.\nWho We Are\nThe Stamford Bicycling Meetup Group (SBMG) is a group of bicycle enthusiasts looking to meet up with others to go cycling. This group is for people of all skill levels and of all biking types (recreational, endurance, leisure, mountain, road, etc.). We meet regularly for in Stamford, Greenwich, and Rowayton, Norwalk, but also plan meetups in other areas, for rail trail, road, and off-road rides.\nIf you are a beginner, this is the place to start. You will meet others who can give you advice before you buy any gear. If you are an experienced cyclist, this group is an ideal way to meet other bikers to talk about gear, local routes, and to plan trips. Cyclist of all levels are welcome!\nSBMG is a social network forum, not a club, training facility, or outfitter. All events are common adventures, are non-autocratic in nature, and not for profit (unless hosted specifically by a business, institution, or outfitter following a different liability model). SBMG, its organizers, and its members assume no legal and or civil responsibility for or to any individual or event.\nWe Encourage Safe Cycling\nWe suggest for safety reasons that everyone ride with a helmet, in a legal manor, and in a cycle-pods of three to five. The forum makes it possible for novice, intermediate, and advanced bikers to find each other and form safe ride pods. Road cyclists should follow rules of the road.  Off road bikers should follow rules of the park.  The social nature of the group allows members to share safety tips and skills in a non-structured friendly format.  Safety is your responsibility!\nHow We Set Up Events\nThe Stamford Bicycling Meetup Group (SBMG)  is not a leader-dictated Meetup group, but a member-driven forum. Bicycle enthusiasts are welcome to join the forum and suggest locations for common-adventure rides.  All members can suggest a place, date, and time for a bike-ride event.  In fact, SBMG relies heavily on individual members to put events on the calendar.\nWhen two other members decide to attend the suggestion moves to the calendar and is announced to the group as an event.  (Some events are moved to the calendar by one oftheSBMG moderatorswith less than three people on the RSVP list.) Once it is on the calendar it is no longer a suggestion, but an event and it gets announced to the group by e-mail.  Whenever you visit the SBMG page,you should check the SUGGESTED events page to see if there is a suggested event that you might want to attend.\nMany people worry that if they suggest a ride too many bikers will show up and they would be responsible for a large group.  Most of the SBMG events attract about 1% of the members, which is about 2 to 4 bikers. That is just the right size for a group ride. Members just need to be specific on the day, time, and place (as well as bike-ride type, skill level, pace, etc.) when making a suggestion.  The events are common adventures, so you are not responsible for others, just yourself, but there is always safety in numbers.  However, you should be very specific about the bike-ride type, skill level, and pace of your suggested ride.  It is not a good idea for bikers of a single podto havea mixed expectation of the ride... it just leads to disappointment and a ride pod break down.  In short, be clear in your suggestion description and others with like-mindedthinking will join you (i.e. clearly state road ride, mountain bike ride, novice, intermediate, advance, short, long, fast pace, leisure pace, free-ride, trail-ride, etc.)\nSBMG wants all its members to feel free to make ride event suggestions. Such suggestions can be novice leisure rides in a park or rail-trail (with picnic and frequent stops), intermediate-level day road rides, or advanced-skill mountain bike rides. Anyone can take the initiative to add bike-ride events to the calendar. And, this is the best way to get events that work for your personal schedule and skill level so you never have to ride alone.\nIdeas for Meetups\nWe are interested in finding racers and triathlon riders that want to do a more rigorous training ride.  If you are interested in training with others then please suggest a date, time, and place for likeminded cyclists to meet up with you for a ride.  In your suggestion make it clear that the nature of the ride is fast-paced and rigorous.\nWe are have many members that want to meet up for local leisure exercise in local streets and parks.  Cycling is an ideal way to relieve the stress of the day and to get the 30 to 60 minutes of cardio recommended for a healthy life-style.  The SBMG forum is the ideal way to get the benefits of cycling while also forming a network of like-minded people to socialize with before, during and after the ride. If you are interested in daily exercise bike rides that are not rigorous training ride but more leisure in nature, maybe along the route to Calf Pasture Beach in Norwalk, or between Cummings Beach and Shippan Point in Stamford, or along Shore road in Old Greenwich, or where ever, then please suggest a date, time, and place for likeminded cyclists to meet up with you for a ride.  In your suggestion make it clear that the nature of the ride is leisure-paced and exercise oriented.\nWe are always looking for people to lead recreational rides throughout Connecticut and the neighboring states.  If you are interested in exploring the many bike routes and rail/trails in the area or doing multi-night bike touring others then please suggest a date, time, and place for likeminded cyclists to meet up with you for a ride.  In your suggestion make it clear that the nature of the ride is leisure-paced and recreational in nature.\nOur most active group members are mountain bikers.  We have novice to advanced mountain bikers that post off-road rides, mostly in Mianus River Park on the Stamford, but if you are looking to meet up with people to ride other locations then we encourage you to post suggestions.   In your suggestion make it clear that the nature of the ride is off-road.  State the paced and style of your ride.  Use descriptors such as cross-country, trail, free-ride, and dirt jumping as these are well known terms.  Also, state if your ride suggestion is novice, intermediate, or advanced in nature.",

"description": "We meet the Third Thursday of every month at the Moose Lodge in Burbank for a No Limit Hold 'Em Poker Tournament.  Friendly buy-in (40) and even friendlier rebuys (20).  Start with $6K (including $1K bonus) in tournament chips.  High Hand award.  Player of the Year points.  Other prizes and surprises.  Start at 7:00 p.m., usually over by midnight.  Lodge located at 1901 W. Burbank Blvd., Burbank, CA 91506.  Exit Burbank Blvd. off 5 Fwy.  U can RSVP for the next Third Thursday Poker Tournament* by posting here or calling the Burbank Moose Lodge.\n \nRESULTS of TTPT held Thursday, December 20, 2012\nRON RAISES THE ROOF!\nIt was close to midnight with four players remaining at the final Third Thursday Poker Tournament of 2012. Raisin' Ron Saxe and Steven \"Snake\" Spezzano were all in before the flop, almost even-chipped.  Ron flipped up 6-7 and Snake had called with A-10.  The flop came A-10-8, giving Snake top two and RR a gutshot draw.\nWhoever wins this pot would be the clear chip leader.  A rag fell on the turn.  \"He's dead to a nine,\" observed one player.  A pensive pause permeated the air around the table.  \"Don't do it,\" pleaded Snake.  And then the river fell, bringing a nefarious nine and a  deafening roar from the onlookers!\nSaxe the Axe hit his straight and Snake hit rail.  The field of 36 was now down to the Top Three--Double R and the two co-hosts, Moose and Hubeedoo. Hubee battled hard before succumbing to an impressive third-place finish. Then, almost even-stacked, with blinds at 40K - 80K, Raisn' Ron and Loose Moose faced off to determine the final TTPT Champ of 2012.\nRon shoved on the button with 6-3 suited and Moose called holding A-7 off.  A six came on the flop; and with no help for Moose, Ron posted his second TTPT victory in the event's two-year history.\nRounding out the Top Ten were veteran Moose Members Bunny, Spike, Lucky Lenny, Cobra, Triple A (Aaron the Asian Assassin) and sophomore Silent Mike.\nPamela's quad eights held up for High Hand.\nThe Toy Drive was a solid success and players competed for bonus Christmas presents provided by Santa Claus.\n(More to Come)\n \nRESULTS of TTPT held Thursday, September 27, 2012\nRISSO RISES!  PRETTY BOY SMILES & SHADOW APPEARS!\nBy midnight, the 45 player mob was narrowed to the Testosterone Trio:  Silverlake Rounder star Johnny World Risso and newbies Michael Pretty Boy Weston & Tony the Shadow Machado.\nAll three were pretty even-stacked, still anybody's title to take.  With Co-Host Hubeedo dealing and blinds at 20-40K, Shadow appeared to be casting a foreboding presence when momentum took a sudden turn.  Shadow and Johnny World got 'em all in before the flop, Tony with Ac Jc and Johnny holding Qs Jd.  The flop came Ks Js 5s, giving Machado matching hooks with top kicker. The turn was 7h, no help; and the river 10s, served Risso a real dizzo--a spade flush!\nRisso doubled through Tony, grabbing the $570,000 pot plus a big mound of Mo!  Shadow shoved the rest of his stash with K-10 off, and JR chased with 3-6.  A king flopped, giving Tony top pair; but the river made Ratso a straight to the seven!\nNow it was heads up, Johnny in the lead; but PB Weston, impressive all night with his tight but aggressive timing, was still very much alive.  Indeed at one point at the Final Table, it appeared the title of this report would be \"How Weston Won.\"\nBut JR, current Moose Lodge \"All-in or Fold Champion,\" kept up the pressure, whittling Weston's woodpile to a splinter.  The final hand, blinds at 30K-40K, came at 12:30; Risso showing A-8 and Michael, with a chair and a prayer, testing his fate with J-2.  JR's ace held up, handing Risso his first TTPT win; and Weston had to settle for Runner-up at his virgin Third Thursday outing.\nDarin' Karen finished 4th, increasing her POY lead.*  Poison Ivy scratched out 5th; and Falisha Porter carried a strong 6th.  Newcomer Slippery Susan Kaufman surprised in 7th; followed by Cowboy Bob Kotecki, Bud the Wizard of Draws Wisinski and Chris the Crusher Cioffi to round out the Top Ten.\nKatie the Lady's quad Queens held up for High Hand.\nNext Third Thursday Poker Tournament is scheduled for October 18.\nNOVEMBER: Annual Moose Lodge Poker Championship/Third Thursday Poker Tournament Combo planned for Saturday, Novemer 17, 2012--Noon to Midnight.  Double POY Points.  Rounds starting at 30 minutes.\n*To view current POY standings, click on More above, then Files, then TTPT Standings.\n \n \nRESULTS of TTPT held Thursday, August 16, 2012\nCHIP & A HAIR--FAST FREDDIE FIGHTS BACK!\nSporting his longest and luckiest pony tail to date, Fast Freddie Nelson engineered perhaps the most impressive comeback in Third Thursday Poker Tournament history!\nSeven-handed and down to just a few chips, Freddie zigged and zagged, switching gears and masking fears, outlasting a field of forty-one and emerging as this month's Champion on Thursday, August 16, 2012.\nVicious Vito, Devious Debbie, Gentleman Jeff, Glenn \"Crazy Man\" Cozen, Dodge Dave, Steve the Master, Moose, Spike and Jeff \"Take the Pot\" Scott rounded out the Top Ten.\nSpike Smith earned High Hand award with four aces.\n \nRESULTS of TTPT held Thursday, July 19, 2012\nWIZ WINZ!

 Cougar's Ace held up and once again Hat had to settle for second best.  Sophomore Derek Dale, aka DNX, finished tenth to round out the final table.\nThirty-four players, including back-in-action Len the Cat Kalcheim, battled in the June, 2012 version of Third Thursday Poker Tournaments at Burbank Moose Lodge 652.  Mid-point Player of the Year standings show the field tightening, with Karen expanding her lead to 215, 35 points ahead of Moose in 2nd with 180; followed by Spike (159), Cowboy Bob (143), Bunny (122), Allinda (113), D Hat (112), Gentleman Jeff (108), and Bagpipe Billy (102).\nFor a complete list of POY standings, click on More, then Files, then TTPT POY STANDINGS.\nSo far it's been a kinder, gentler year for 2011 Player of the Year Vicious Vito (89) who blames his slippage on the cards--not the hands, but the paper Bicycle cards.  Thinks he'd play better with plastic cards; which, of course, is why we continue to play TTPT with Bicycle cards manufactured in Moose's home town of Cincinnati, Ohio.\nCowboy Bob Kotecki's Cowboys-full-of-eights full house was good for High Hand, earning Bronco Bob a free future TTPT buy-in.\n(To view photos, click on Photos above.)\n \n \nRESULTS of TTPT held Thursday, May 17, 2012\nIT'S ALLINDA GAME!\nNewcomer Poison Ivy Vasquez scratched her way to a heads-up battle at the Third Thursday Poker Tournament held May 17, 2012, at the Moose Lodge in Burbank; but veteran Linda \"Allinda\" Meyers found the antidote, churning pocket eights into a full house to beat Ivy's two pair on the final hand.\nDarin' Karen Read nailed an impressive 3rd place finish to move ahead in the POY points race.

With six players remaining, Carlos liked his pocket threes; but Eyes peeked pocket queens, using Siegfried and Roy to tame his opponent's crabs.\nSpike risked it all with J-Q of spades and Boo called with two spades of his own, A-8.  A top on the flop (ace) popped Spike's dream, leaving Feb's Final Four.  Boo and Eyes had the chip advantage, but, as veterans know, 2011 Player of the Year Vito can never be counted out.\nFighting for scraps, Vito shoved with A-3 off and Solid called with 2-4 off.  A four on the turn shaved Vito's stack to the felt, leaving this month's Third Thursday Trio.  With blinds at 30K-60K, a chip count showed Boo with over 500K, Larry Eyes with 310K and Jimmy the Kid with 290K.\nIt was turtle time for Boo, withdrawing into his shell, allowing young 'uns Larry and Jimmy to battle for the blinds.\nWhen the blinds jumped to 40-80K, Boo attempted to tarnish Gould for good, calling Jim's all-in bet with 9-4 suited.  Jim's 10-4 suited wasn't much better.  But if a guy from Texas can win two world titles with 10-2, why can't a well-coiffed dude from LA knock off a Third Thursday Tournament at the Moose Lodge with 10-4?\nA four fell on the flop and Jimmy's ten kicked, doubling him thru Boo.   Chess Master Gould then used A-9 to all but destroy Larry's A-3 when a 9 came on the turn, leaving Eyes with pinkeye (one pink 20K chip).\nBut Larry wasn't through yet.  He had put on a stellar display of disciplined poker throughout the night, and Eyes wasn't about to just fade from view.  Larry caught pocket fives twice and used them to double through Gould first, then Boo, acquiring a total of 6 pink chips (120K).  Eyes peeked A-4 then shoved, but blinked when he saw Solid's pocket nines.  A third nine fell on the flop, destroying Eyes' vision of sugar plums to come.  Jimmy had put Eyes out.\nNow heads up, Jimmy had a 2-1 lead over Boo (880 to 440K). It appeared over when Boo's 5-6 matched Solid's A-9.  The flop came 8-10-6 with a 7 on the turn, giving Jimmy a straight.  But a 9 on the river put a straight on board and the opponents tied!\nJim picked up another ace, this time with a 3 kicker; and Boo once again put his faith and his future in 5-6 off.  This time the board came 10-J-7-9-9 and Solid's ace was good for all the gold!\nImpressive back-to-back showings by Uschi, Spike and Boo, all of whom finished at the final table in the previous month's (January, 2012) TTPT.\nFast Freddie Nelson's quad deuces held up for High Hand and a free future buy-in.\nPOY point standings show Boo out front with 93, followed by Spike (79), Solid Gould (75), Uschi (71), Hubeedoo (60), Eyes (58), Vito (57), Cunning Carlos (50) to form the current Elite Eight.\nFor a COMPLETE LIST of current PLAYER OF THE YEAR standings, click on MORE above (TOP, UNDER BURBANK POKER POSSE), click on FILES, then click on TTPT POY STANDINGS.\n \nRESULTS of the Moose Appreciation Tournament held Saturday, January 28, 2012\nANTLERS AWEIGH!\nIt was the Moose Appreciation Poker Tournament and no one appreciated it more than Moose, who gets his name engraved on the Lodge trophy for the first time since donating it four years ago!\nA select group of 24 players competed in the event, which culminated in a tough shootout between Jay \"Moose \" Moriarty and Phillip \"Jackman\" Brown.  Following a spaghetti luncheon, cards were in the air at 1:30 p.m.\nWith both re-buys and add-ons permitted, when the field was narrowed to the Final Nine at 8:15, there was close to one million in tournament chips on the table.\nDwindling stacks and rising blinds soon cut the remaining field in half, while Moose began moving chips and collecting ammo, emerging as chip leader by 9:00 p.m.\nAngela Whang had to settle for 9th place and Last Woman Standing; soon joined on the rail by Adam \"The Cobra\" Hirsh, who dropped his markers but picked up a new nickname.  Nothing new about Dodger Dave, Boo, Joker Jim or John Romano's impressive finishes in the next four spots.\nThree-handed, as blinds continued to climb, the lead switched back and forth among Moose, Jackman and Stan \"Spike\" Smith.\nWith 20K-40K blinds, Spike peeked 10-J and decided to muscle some blinds or chance a double up.  Moose called with A-10, and a ten on the flop sent Mr. Smith to Washington (Blvd.).\nHeads up chip count showed Moose with a narrow lead--530K to Jackman's 450K.  On the very first heads-up hand, the renowned Mr. Brown slow-played pocket kings, and Mr. Moose realized he was about to enter a mine field.\nAt 40K-80K blinds, Moose moved in on the button (small blind) and Pensive Phil went into the tank.  Jay had dropped but regained a slight chip advantage, 550K to 420K.  Holding K-10 off, Moose wasn't sure if he wanted Jackman to call.  Jackman studied his hand and his opponent's face for what seemed like an hour and a half, then slid his chips to the center and turned up J-Q.  No help came on the board, and Moose's king was crowned!\nNext Third Thursday Tournament is actually scheduled for the fourth Thursday, February 23, 2012.\n \nRESULTS of TTPT held Thursday, January 19, 2012\nHUBEE DOO IT!  COWBOY RIDES IN SECOND!\nRichard \"Hubeedoo\" Huber's poker skills were on display at the first Third Thursday Poker Tournament of 2012, outlasting a field of 33 players, still standing when the smoke cleared after a shootout with runner-up Robert \"Cowboy\" Kotecki.\nHeads up, Cowboy was in front, having ambushed his way through a final table of ten tough opponents, all of whom were rewarded for their efforts.  (Wounded with six players left, Cowboy found pocket Jacks and managed to double through Randy Reed (A-3), leaving Randy with just one green (5K) chip, and allowing Cowboy to reload his revolver.)\nWhen the final hand came, Hubeedoo held a slight lead over Robert--270K to 250K.  Cowboy held A-9 suited and Hubee peeked J-K off.  All ammo went to the middle pre-flop, which came J-8-3 rainbow, giving Richard top pair.  The board completed with 10-8, knocking Kotecki from the saddle and serving Hubee with his first Third Thursday win!\nShovin' Cheryl Harmon earned 3rd, followed by Chicago Dan Kaemon, last month's winner; and Randy \"Chasers' Doom\" Reed, former TTPT winner, still rushing from his recent cash in Vegas at the The 3rd Annual Moose International event.\nKaren Read turned the page, scoring a personal best 6th place;

but only one (Stacee) had a big stack and the right to call herself Champ!\nRounding out the final table in the 44-player field were Silverlake Rounder Rivals Phillip \"Jackman\" Brown & Adam \"Flea\" Hirsh;

VITO LENGTHENS POY LEAD\nWhen the dust cleared, two first-timers were left huddled with all the chips.  Aaron Ho, known to his poker-playing college buddies as \"Triple A\" (Aaron the Asian Assassin), had a better than 4-1 lead on Steven \"The Snake\" Spezzano.\nAt quarter past midnight, blinds at 20,000-40,000, all ammo went to the middle with Aaron showing A-10 while Snake turned up 2-4 suited.  A sailboat on the river kept Steven alive; and it appeared Snake could be coiled for a comeback at the Third Thursday Poker Tournament, held September 15, 2011, at the Burbank Moose Lodge.\nBut alas Triple A and his chip lead proved too great to overcome.  At 12:22, ahead 640,000 to 350,000, the Assassin employed 9h-10h to destroy Snake's K-8 when a 9 hit the board, besting a field of 52 tough players in this NLH competition.\nFinishing third was veteran Vito Paoletta, becoming first to pass the 200 point mark in the TTPT Player of the Year race.  The Godfather of Gaming avoided elimination by taking K-4-off against Host Jay \"M\"oose Moriarty's K-7-off when two fours popped on the flop, giving Vito a flotilla of fours and forcing Moose to settle for 5th place.\nAllinda Meyers, winner of the very first TTPT, notched another strong performance, snagging 4th place honors.  Allinda's demise came when she took A-5 vs. Aaron's pocket fours and once again the sailboats stayed afloat.\nRounding out the Top Ten were Slippery Scott MacConnell, Punk Provost, Ahn (pronounced Awn) Phan, Bud \"The Wizard of Draws\" Wisinski and Just John (pronounced Jawn) Clark.\nDavid \"The Turtle\" Gallegos' straight flush to the 8 was good for High Hand award.  Vito scored a pair of poker sunglasses by becoming the first player to win (in the ninth month) a hand with pocket nines.  The 6-5-2 hand went unclaimed for the night.  WSOP dealer Susan Edwards once again dealt the Final Table.\n \nNext Monthly Tournament:  *Thursday, October 20, 2011  at 7:00 p.m.\nHalloween Event - Wear a Mask, receive 500 Bonus Chip / Prizes for Best Mask/Costume\nBIG FIELD, BIG PAYOUT, small buy-in.\nSide Game action for players who go out of tournament.\n \nTTPT Player of the Year Standings (updated September 16, 2011)\nFabulous Fourteen (POY Leaders)\nVito - 251  Moose - 168  Just John - 150  Raisin' Ron - 150  Allinda - 123  Anh - 115  Stradi - 105 Randy - 104  Angela - 98  Puma - 88  Joker Jim - 82  Triple A - 78  Bagpipe Billy - 77  Stu - 76  Lenny B. - 75\n \n \nRESULTS of Third Thursday Tourney held August 18, 2011\nRAISIN' RON REIGNS OVER RECORD FIELD\nWith three players left, Raisin' Ron Saxe, true to his handle, shoved all in before the flop with 7-8 and sophomore Sneaky Stephanie Kelleher made a bold call with J-10 for all her chips .  The flop came 4-5-6 and the record 59-player field was narrowed to two.\nWith blinds at 20k-40k, Ron (K-J) and first-timer Stu \"On Fire\" Macguire (A-6) marched their troops to the center.  A jack on the flop and another on the turn gave RR all the ammo he needed to take down his first TTPT title plus a Moose Memberhship.  It was Raisin' Ron's second Final Table finish in his last two outings, finishing a strong third last month.\nRon vaults into 2nd place in the POY standings (150 points), with Vito \"The Godfather\" Paoletta still in front at 190.\nLucky Lenny, aka Stiletto Benedetto, turned in an impressive 4th place finish, followed by former Big Guns Champ Crafty Karl Risinger, Moose Member Big Wave Dave Richard, Susan \"Dealer Girl\" Edwards, Kevin \"Destroyer\" Deitch, John Romano a mano, and Richard \"Hubeedoo\" Huber to round out the Final Table.\nKiambu Fisher's quad cuties held up for High Hand, earning Boo a free buy-in at an upcoming TTPT event.

This is a bicycle and outdoor group for those interested in biking for health, the beauty of nature and the company of friendly people.\nSee a little piece of New England on a bicycle! Our activities emphasize a casual, slower but steady pace of cycling. Occasionally, we do other types of biking, such as offroad bicycling and larger, organized cycling events. We also try to schedule other types of events, such as kayaking and social gatherings, and hopefully during the winter, schedule outdoor (or indoor) things as well.\nSo if you enjoy a slower, laid back pace of riding and want to enjoy wonderful scenery and a great group of people, we are the meetup group for you! We try to emphasize cycling on rail trails. Rail trails are usually flat, with no motorized traffic. We do not limit our cycling events to central Massachusetts, largely because bike trails with distances greater than a couple of miles and that are also off busy streets, is somewhat hard to find. Thus, we do try to provide bike riding opportunities in various parts of the state.\nEveryone is welcome here, advanced or not! Younger, smaller family members are welcome to join us, provided they are able to keep up with us or can ride in tow behind.",

"name": "Washington Redskins Fans Meetup",
"description": "Hello, Everybody!\n \nWelcome to the Washington Redskins Fans Meetup Group! This group was started in September 2011 by Raj Pal. Unfortunately, Raj had to step down in September 2012 because of professional obligations outside of the United States. We certainly wish him well, and he deeply regretted having to leave us at a time when this team is beginning to show signs of improving--at least that’s what we all hope. Raj has \"passed the torch\" to me. I’ve never led a Meetup Group before. I have no managerial experience (at least not professionally) but I still have confidence that I can help make this group an excellent one. I'm happy to report that in the one year I've been Organizer of this group, the membership has more than doubled.\n\n\n I would like to see us continue to grow in number and to become more active in planning events. As we begin a new football season, tailgating at FedEx Field and meetings at various sports bars in the DC area will be our two primary activities. I was also considering another possibility.  The party decks at FedEx Field can accommodate as many as 20 people per section.  If enough members are interested, then I wanted to suggest possibly having at least some of our meetings at home games. This would allow us to gather as a group at a specific location in the stadium and be able to enjoy the excitement that just watching on TV doesn’t exactly provide.\n\n\n Regarding actually getting to FedEx Field, let me offer some advice. If there is any way that you can use the Metro Rail, then I would recommend it. Otherwise, you will be dealing with a lot of traffic snarls on your way to the stadium. Depending on where you live in the D.C. area, or even if you’re visiting from outside the area, you will probably end up paying more to park at the stadium than you will to use the Metro Rail. Many of the Metro Stations have parking lots, so you can “Park and Ride.” The closest Metro Stations to FedEx Field are Morgan Boulevard and Largo Town Center, which are the two easternmost stops on the Blue/Orange Line. The only problem with using the Metro is that both stations are about a mile from FedEx Field, so wear some good walking shoes.\nI’ve posted information about public transportation, related Redskins fans websites, my suggestion for possible meetups at home games, and information about the locations where we currently meet under the Pages tab of this website. \n\n\n\n Let me tell you a little bit about me. I grew up just 2 hours south of here in Richmond, VA, so the Redskins were the only team that I followed. I remember first watching Redskins games in 1977. That was George Allen's final season as their head coach. Jack Pardee would coach the Redskins for the next three seasons, and he would post a 24-24 record before being replaced by Joe Gibbs in 1981. For me personally, I've seen the peaks and the valleys of being a fan of this team. From the glory days of The Hogs, The Smurfs, John Riggins, Joe Theismann, Art Monk, Gary Clarke, Ricky Sanders (The Posse), and Mark Rypien to the disappointments of the last 13 seasons where we, as fans, questioned many of the decisions over what was best for this team.\n\n\n\n I truly believe that the Redskins have some of the most loyal and passionate fans in the NFL. To me, a true fan sticks by his/her team in good times and in bad. I'm 46 years old, so I've experienced both, but my love for this team has never wavered, and it never will. I look forward to hopefully meeting each and every one of you as we begin planning new meetings and activities.  My best to all of you. HAIL TO THE REDSKINS!!!!!!!!!\n\n\n\n\n Scott Kennedy",

When you join one of our trips, you will definitely find fun and interesting people to hang out with and to share the joy of unforgettable weekend fun!\nCamping:  Our trips are typically 2-night camping trips on the weekend to locations throughout California.  Most of the trips are for Adults... although some Family Camping Trips are planned -- there is something for everyone! We have small (8 - 20 or people), medium (21 to 50 people), large (51 - 99 people) and mega (100+ persons) trips. Some of our trips are Pet Friendly as well. Our goal is to make it to ALL of the top campsites throughout California and Hawaii -- Check out our Bucket List! - Sunset Magazine's Best Campgrounds.\n \nAdventures:  CW Adventures occur at non-campsite locations, typically during the season when outdoor camping is not as comfortable.  Think... Lake Tahoe Lodge, Hostels, Winter BBQ, Ski Trips, etc.  And, yes we offer Snow Camping (an adventure by definition!) for those of you who bought that pricey 0 degree sleeping bag and are ready to test it out!\n \nCW International: Imagine taking CW to Mexico, Belize, Jamaica, Brasil or Dubai (we just threw Dubai in there because it sounds so Fancy!). These trips will be 3 - 7 days - and we will get to the campsites or adventure locations by road, rail, air or sea!\n \nCW SoCal:  We have a Southern California chapter for CaliWeekends - California Weekends SoCal. We hope to get a mix of SoCal and NorCal folks on all or our trips. You will also see more Southern California camping options on the roster in 2014!  If you have friends  in Southern California -- encourage them to sign up at http://www.meetup.com/California-Weekends-SoCal/\n \nHow Do I Sign up?:  We typically open up the waiting list for trips four months in advance.  We pull from the waiting list to maintain a good balance of new vs. regular members; SoCal vs. NorCal members; men vs. women; couples vs. singles.   The sooner you sign up after the waiting list opens, the more likely it is you will  be added from the waiting list.  However, trips fill up fast... so make sure you take note of the day and time that the waiting list opens up and sign up as soon as you can!\nWe also schedule Pop-Up Camping trips for those of you who are \"always\" ready to camp at a moments notice.  The waiting list for these trips are typically posted less than one month in advance.\n \nWe look forward to seeing you all soon -- at the campfire or in the middle of another great adventure!\nDon't forget to join our Facebook Group to stay on top of the conversation about our trips and adventures:\n \nCALIWEEKENDS\n\n\n\n~The California Weekend's Crew~",

"description": "ABOUT US\nNow Canada's largest tech meetups, and growing internationally, eh.\nRSVP to get a nametag. This is important, because people without nametags aren't even really people. There, we said it. :) Check us out >>> Facebook | Twitter\n\nHackerNest is an international nonprofit community movement focused on building supportive Silicon Valley like tech communities in every city - strengthening local tech ecosystems globally through unpretentious social events and hackathons. We’re nurturing cohesive communities today to empower them with more relevant and accessible peer-based tech education tomorrow.\n\nConnecting people is awesome. And community good breeds fab karma.\nWe cram smart, accomplished people into a room with free beer. Our relaxed, down-to-earth Tech Socials are now Canada’s largest tech meetups.\n\nOur membership - diverse and highly technical. Developers, designers, engineers, social media/business folk, entrepreneurs, investors, etc. regularly gather to socialize, talk tech, maybe hear speakers or watch demos, and meet future co-founders, employees, funders, and friends. Strict no-douchebag policy.\nGlobal. We want an international network of HackerNest “splinter cells” to pop up everywhere – from underserved cities to high-growth innovation centers – to rescue nerds from isolated basements, offices, and code tunnel vision.\nWe love hardcore nerdcore. Tech folks, tech events, tech love. Our formula: laid back atmosphere + free drinks + brilliant people = fireworks\n\nWe're not scienticians, but the formula seems to work: we became Canada's largest tech meetups in a year, before even leaving Toronto. Today we have \"splinter cells\" in multiple cities internationally.\nOur goal is to complement and strengthen existing nerd ecosystems – we come in peace. This isn't a business; nobody owns HackerNest. Conceptually, it is the ideal of a strong and supportive tech community - pretty much anyone that isn't a jerk can be a part of it.\nInterested in running HackerNest in your city?

Check back!\nFormat: Relaxed. Hang, talk tech, occasionally a speaker, plot to take over the world, etc.\nWhere: Usually in the large private office of a tech company (have a venue?)\n \nAt any given HackerNest meetup, you may find people who are:\ndeveloping incredibly snazzy Ruby (most likely on Rails) applications - heady hardcore designer typesPHP/Perl/.NET/Python/django addicts - ...Fortran devs?! - looking for a tech/entrepreneur/new business story to cover - Objective-C experts and iPhone/iPad/Apple product pundits - engineers and managers and CTOs looking for co-founders to join their angel/VC-backed tech startup - looking to write articles/stories about the obscure/interesting/hilarious hacks you've pulled off - totally oblivious and just wandered in because they heard there was booze (!?) - building a top-secret app out of their basement that's going to change the way the world does X; like \"Facebook for Squirrels\" - scrambling to find a partner to work with on a well-paying contract that's just a wee bit too much workload for the anticipated deadline - heroes, because they're part of the burgeoning community that will reverse all this insane brain-drain - incredibly talented, smart, entrepreneurial go-getters who are absolutely dangerous to the status quo - pretty bloody interesting, because seriously, if they're coming out for drinks ON A MONDAY (or Tuesday, or Wednesday) NIGHT... they've gotta be\n \nChances are, you'll fit right in if you're a(n):\nsoftware or hardware hacker/h4ck3r (or maybe just a hack)\ncoder/developer/programmer/brogrammerdesigner, UX-oriented, or just like making things pretty\nbiotech/electrical/computer or basically any kind of engineer\nnetwork/network/system/IT administrator\nfront/back-end specialist\nangel investor\ndemon investor\nventure capitalist\nventure communist\ntech enthusiast\ntech/entrepreneur-oriented media/journalist\nOCD blogger/Tweeter\nbloodthirsty recruiter looking to poach developers\ninternet mogul\nnerd/geek/freak/tweak\nentrepreneur\nSEO/SEM pro\nwriter/project manager/business analyst\n1337 individual\netc., etc.\n...and aren't a douchebag. <3",
