Mini Biography
Born in Czechoslovakia to Russian parents, Nikita …
[View More]was studying art in school at age 15 when she decided she wanted to try something else. She left her country and traveled around Europe, eventually becoming involved in modeling. From there she began to get work in European porn videos, and after establishing herself in that field, traveled to the U.S. and got into the adult-film business there. In 1997 she won the X-Rated Critics Organization Award for Best New Starlet.

Trivia
Nikita was a finalist for Penthouse Pet of the Year 2000.
Nikita was also Miss Kyrgyzstan.
Nikita Gross
Nikita Gross
Nikita Gross AKA Anna Kaminskaia is a Russian beauty. Porn Star Nikita is one of the hottest ladies of the 90's wave of Eastern European porn stars. She is a tall blond with an all natural body. Her pretty face recalls Michelle Phieffer, and Nikita's got the same sexy smile. Her Russian accent is getting better, while Nikita's sexuality remains constant.
Nikita Gross got the porn bug while still living in Russia, but she soon realized that she would have to travel to have a chance at making it in the Xbiz. She moved to the Czech Republic and soon after moving to the States along with her friend Vicca. The pair can often be found performing in movies.
Several of Nikita's videos are available here, including her hot fuck with Rocco Siffredi in "Jungle Heat." She sizzles in "The Coming Of Nikita," taking on Christophe Clark in an erotic tryst. But it's her American porn work where this blond slut has made a name for herself. Just take one look at Nikita's work in Greg Dark's "The Psychosexuals" if you need more proof of this lady's sex skills. She continues to turn out performances and is a sure bet to be one of the most popular porn stars.
This Russian beauty entered the adult scene in the late 90's taking the adult world by storm with her strikingly beautiful looks and perfectly curvaceous body. Pornstar Nikita was first introduced to the adult biz in Russia, but realized that in order to get anywhere in the adult biz she would have to travel, so she moved to Czech republic where she got her feet wet in the hardcore scene there before venturing to the US. While in the Czech Republic Nikita met and quickly became close friends with adult starlet Vicca and the two paired up and decided to move to the US together to get their start in the American adult industry market. Pornstar Nikita and Vicca took the US adult industry by storm often performing together. Nikita quickly became one of the most requested adult starlets appearing in over 100 titles in her first year in the biz.

Hi all,
A few weeks ago, I participated in a panel on Women in Wireless at the
International Summit for Community WIreless Networks in Berlin. The
presenters were excellent, and I found the audience wonderfully receptive
and engaged with the issue of women's participation in wireless networking
communities.
Among the points I emphasized was the need to expand the definition of
'geek' to include for instance language geeks, theory buffs, writers,
critical thinkers of whatever medium, etc. An …
[View More]expansive and inclusive
notion of hacking is something the sudo community upholds admirably well, I
think. At the same time, our radically inclusive approach brings about the
danger of excluding those who do not feel safe or welcome in the presence
of certain behaviors, and as such means we must continually work to
cultivate safe space<https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Articles_of_Association#Section_2.3_Benefits>
.
A colleague whom I met at the conference shared this paper with me, and I'd
like to share it with y'all. The points made by Reagle are particularly
relevant to the Sudo Room community:

Thought the bio-hacker sudo folks would be interested in this project. I met Naveen Jain, CEO at Spark Art (http://www.sparkart.com), whose offices are in that green building across the street from Sudo Room on 22nd, who core the project - He sent me this executive summary version attachment.
----
an excerpted summary:
Immunity Project is a team of scientists and entrepreneurs based in the San Francisco Bay Area who are developing a revolutionary vaccine platform using an entirely novel …
[View More]approach: to adopt the unique targeting capability inherent in controllers to give everyone that same immunity to the targeted disease. The first vaccine being developed using this platform is a vaccine for HIV. It is designed to turn everyone who receives it into an HIV controller. Immunity Project will offer the HIV vaccine to the world for free.
To develop the vaccine, a machine learning algorithm -- similar to what is used in the most advanced spam filtering software -- was developed to identify the achilles heel biological markers on the HIV virus. The vaccine formulation consists of the achilles heel biological markers and FDA approved chemicals that cause an immune system response. The Project’s proprietary formulation enables the vaccine prototype to be stored in inert powder form without refrigeration and delivered to patients through a nasal inhaler. The Immunity Project vaccine is the first to be developed that does not contain any living or non living virus, giving it the potential to be among the safest vaccines ever developed. To date, the team holds ten granted patents -- and more are pending -- covering the vaccine formulation and delivery technology.

Subject: [Noisebridge-discuss] NB Radio meetings - Roll over Noisebridge
... (Movin on, & new leaders)
Date: Tue, 29 Oct 2013 14:53:18 -0700
& tell hackerspaces.org the news.
---
Congratulations Noisebridge Radioers!
https://…
[View More]noisebridge.net/wiki/Radio
You've had several successful meetings,
much was discussed,
& progress is well underway to get
the NB FCC Low Power FM broadcast station license in before its Nov 14
due date!
:)
--
Now I'm gonna be movin on.
--
Back in February I posted to the NB amateur [= "love"] radio CQ list
that NB ought to have a radio station.
In August Norman Bradley (also a ham) alerted us that the FCC was about
to begin accepting applications,
the first time in decades in metropolitan areas.
Since then I have chosen to invest my time, in a personal overload
situation,
into this once in a lifetime opportunity,
to get the Noisebridge radio project ball rolling -
contributing the skills & knowledge I have, which many here don't (yet)
have,
so that this project would hopefully acquire sufficient momentum to
become self sustaining.
I hope it worked -
cause I'm about to hit the door.
;) :)
--
Now Radioers, leaders of NB,
& all etceterians who desire that
NB have as much success as possible,
hackers have as much success as possible,
& our wonderful San Francisco, Bay Area, California & global societies
have as much success as possible,
I'm now passing the ball on to you!
Good luck!
:)
--
I knew from the beginning that one tiny little me wasn't gonna be able
to
either create a NB radio station, nor sustain one.
So I've tried to alert Noisebridgians to the possibilities & benefits,
with the hope that enough people will be sufficiently intrigued
so that the idea becomes a reality.
I hope that has happened.
I'm not going away,
but I am bowing out of most Noisebridge "The Bridge" radio activity.
I've got many other respnsibilities to attend to.
If this project is going to succeed,
it has now become _your_ responsibility.
The good news is, I believe you definitely have the capabilities
to make it a reality.
And I believe the unknown hackers, & unknown future hackers,
will thank you for it!
:)
--
If it _is_ actually going to happen,
the most important thing that someone
who has _not_ done this before,
has got to do is make a personal commitment to:
1) getting the Tues 6-8PM weekly radio hacker meeting onto the calendar
on the main nb web page, &
2) sending a weekly meeting announcement to the NB--Discuss & Announce
lists,
so all hackers are refreshly reminded of the meeting,
& of their opportunity to contribute to radio, & social, hacking.
The other main thing is to immediately help Norman,
in anything he needs,
to enable him to get a proper, successful application in to the FCC by
its November 14th due date.
- Please note: Norman is a very busy guy, too.
I believe he is also going far out of his way,
cutting deep into his own personal responsibilities & resources,
to do the things only he at Noisebridge is able to do,
to get this project he believes is important to both Noisebridgians,
& hackers everywhere,
into the air.
[Please join me right now in giving Norman Bradley a big round of
applause!
Me: Clap clap clap!
Thanks, Norman! This project certainly wouldn't have had so much
progress without all your efforts.
I certainly couldn't have done it without you!
:)
]
--
Now, I've got to get on to other important responsibilities,
lide helping Oaklland's SudoRoom get a radio application in,
& alerting the USA hacerspacces to their impending doom^h^h^h^h
opportunities to get their FCC applications in,
with only two weeks notice!
--
I'll have more to say, later.
Bottom line:
It is now _YOUR_ responsibility to
_immediately_ get an announcement out
that everyone is invited to
Tonight's 6-8PM Noisebridge FM broadcast Radio meeting.
Best wishes to all.
Good luck.
And, as we say in the amateur radio community,
73 to everyone.
:)

I've been following this project for a while, their goal is to produce a
small ARM board with everything you need to program it built in for only $5
-- the idea being that at that price, you can stick them everywhere and not
have to worry about the cost. They are now close to being finished, and are
trying to raise enough money to get some prototypes out into the hands of
hackers looking to play with them. You can see details on the project here:
http://mchck.org/
*Features*
> *open:* …
[View More]entirely open source hardware and software
> *powerful: *ARM Cortex-M4 with DSP extensions, 50MHz, 32KB code flash,
> 8KB RAM, 32KB data flash
> *easy to use:* programmable via USB; USB 2.0 full speed device and host
> in hardware
> *massive connectivity: *10 PWM outputs, 12 analog inputs, 29 GPIOs, 6
> serial interfaces, 14 touch sense inputs
> *low power:* can run directly from a coin cell battery for months
> *extensible: *add LiPo battery charger, 2.4GHz radio, extra flash memory,
> all without additional boards
> *small:* only 50mm*19mm / 1.97in*0.75in
> *cheap:* $5 to build at home
They need to sell 50 in order to get bulk pricing on stuff, for $60 (which
includes shipping) you get:
> 5 boards + all the parts needed for them
> 2 RF communications boards (NRF24L01+)
> 2 LiPo battery charger ICs
> 2 180mAh LiPo batteries
> 2 1MB SPI flash ICs
> 3 different power regulators (so you can run from a variety of power
> sources)
> 2 microUSB jacks (the boards themselves will plug into a USB port
> directly, the optional jack allows you to instead use a USB cable)
I've already ordered a kit, I'm thus spamming you all in the hopes that
others will as well and I can get my boards (I have an unhealthy addiction
to small inexpensive microcontroller boards)
link to order here --> https://github.com/mchck/mchck/wiki/Prototypes
Note that this is not a finished product yet -- you'll either need a bit of
experience with ARM and microcontroller dev, or be willing to wait to use
the boards until they finish all the software and iron out any issues that
may arise.

To: nightlife-612-announce(a)meetup.com
Hi All,
Some of you …
[View More]may have already received this warning from one of Tom's many
SF meet-ups. I got three. I am resending it out to you because even though
we are not a single's group, everyone should be mindful of their security
online. I have removed a Rahul from the group who had an cartoon for a pic
and either never attended or or never RSVPed. One remains but with a
different member ID than the one in question.
Tom has a few very good recommendations that you should consider. I would
also recommend not using your complete first and last name on the site. I
have never required this. Ladies, please be careful of anyone who comes on
a little too aggressive. Consider asking for a business card instead of
giving out your contact information. Post event outings for dinner or what
not are best in groups with people you have established friendships with
coming along. Use good judgement and be safe.
Let's all just try to have some fun without the ick.
Cheers,
Rick

*Please see email from Tom below:*
For years I've been getting reports from women that an SF Bay Area
meetupmember has been up to various creepy behavior including
stalking,
harassment, inappropriate touching, and even him being suspected of
breaking someone's front door lock at a house party.
I've long ago kicked him out of my groups and reported him to meetup. In
fact I know he's been reported to meetup at least a few times and they've
done nothing because he's careful to wait until he get's someone's personal
email or phone number before he starts getting creepy.
This character's name is Rahul. There are several Rahul's in meetup so be
sure you know which one I'm talking about. Here is his main meetup profile
http://www.meetup.com/members/11529766/ He doesn't post pictures of himself
so here's another profile cartoon he commonly uses
http://www.meetup.com/walking-in-SF/members/11529766/ and here is an email
address that he's used in the past bffrahul(a)gmail.com
If you have not had an issue with this person yet the best advice I can
give you is this:
1) If he email's you do not reply
1) Do not give him any personal information i.e., email address, phone
number, address
If anyone can find me a picture of this guy in any meetup please send me a
link to it.
*If you have already had a run in with this guy please read on. *
Thanks to the efforts of Gareth, another organizer that many of you know,
we have the ear of the meetup CEO and their safety lead and they are
interested in hearing your story. Even if your run in with Rahul was some
time ago, even if you've already reported him to meetup, please follow the
instructions in the email and report your story.
Thanks
Tom
*Hi Tom,*
*Thank you for contacting us about this. I'm Liz, and your message has
been escalated to my attention. Meetup takes reports such as this, and any
possible violation of our Terms of Service, very seriously. *
*We would like to conduct a limited inquiry into this situation. I
understand that you've heard these stories second-hand, so it may be
difficult for you to provide us with the additional information, but if
there's anything further you can tell us in connection with your concerns,
that will help us look into this further. Additionally, if you know of any
members who have had first-hand experience with Rahul, please have them
write to me directly at lizd(a)meetup.com. *
*The sort of information that will help us look into this further is:*
*• a detailed description of the situation*
*• links to pages where the content at issue is appearing on the site*
*• any relevant emails or content you may have received through the site*
*• anything you received outside of the Meetup platform that would be
relevant to our inquiry*
*• any other information you think may be helpful, such as a relevant
police report or similar documentation*
*We want to conduct as thorough an inquiry into this situation as possible,
and we appreciate your help with this. Having said that, please note that
Meetup is unable to moderate member behavior offsite, so in addition to
reporting this to us, it is very important that all illegal activity be
reported to the local authorities as well. *
*Thanks again for your help with this. We'll look forward to your reply. *
* Sincerely, *
* Liz Dickey *

Laurie
So, today I dropped my fancy smart phone (HTC One S) and smashed the screen
to smithereens. I have almost (almost! but I think not quite) just had it
with the concept of cell phones, almost ready to just figure out how to
plan ahead and make use of my land line and wifi.
But I don't think I'm there -- I just rely too heavily on stuff like Google
Maps and text messaging when I travel or am otherwise out and about.
I thought I'd throw the question out there before I up and buy a new phone.
Does …
[View More]anybody have a 4g, T-Mobile compatible phone they'd recommend…or
perhaps one to sell?
Or… what are some good "I'm sick of dealing with cell phones" hacks these
days?
Pete
p.s. I'm (finally!) out of my TMobile contract and happily so. I am also
done with insurance plans. I want to just buy something free and clear,
something that I can unlock and potentially throw a foreign SIM into in the
future. Even if it means spending more up front. I'm sick of cell carrier
shenanigans and don't want to play their money games if I can avoid it.

Hi All~****
This is a reminder that there will be a Raw Foods meetup group in the main
space …
[View More]on Sunday, 11/3. The crowd shouldn’t be terribly large, so the setup
will be centered on the area in front of and around the Kitchenette. We
will need it from 2-6pm. Try to get personal belongings out of that part
of the room, and move any furnishings or heavy objects that are close to
that area….we will be setting up tables and the desk/chairs around that
area. I’ll send you the email in case anybody wants to sign up for the
event (it’s a class about Fermentation).****
Thanks for your assistance! We will remove all garbage from the event
separately at the end of the event.****

I had thought my response to your feedback was both clear and constructive,
an honest effort to represent the values of our community. Were I feeling
less confident today, this private response questioning me for speaking my
mind could have the chilling effect of making me feel guilty and ashamed
…
[View More]for doing so. This frames my response as either a) 'reacting,' rather than
responding critically, or b) 'willing to accept feedback,' implying I
should accept your statements even though I disagree with many of them, and
it would be dishonest to pretend otherwise. I appreciate your speaking your
mind, and hope you can take my response in good faith.

I also must graciously decline the nomination at this time. Thanks Max.
At tonight's meeting there was consensus that we should move forward
with these articles as they are. So for our purposes right now, they
are officially ratified:
https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Articles_of_Incorporation
Unfortunately, this entails a Board of Directors. So far no viable
legal hacks have appeared to work around this. So the next detail we
need to tackle is exactly WHO will be on this Board. We decided that
the most legitimate way to do this is to let the mailing list nominate
names …
[View More]to a list, confirm they are willing, and then consent on the
list of names, to address any potential disagreements or conflicts.
Please use this thread to nominate yourselves or others to be on our
Board of Directors. Remember, this position requires your name on
official government paperwork, will come with legal liability, and
will be constructed with as little actual power as possible.
Hopefully this will be settled by next week's meeting (Oct 30), at
which point we can actually drive to Sacramento and file!
