Market Street Cinema Reviews - San Francisco Bay Area Escorts ... http://www.myredbook.com/showpro.aspx?id=2298 http://www.ofarrell.com/girls_03.html#rita-russoff Rita Russoff a-e 100-800 c120,d200,e500 92/90/92 Height 6' 1" (1.85 m) Mini Biography Born in Czechoslovakia to Russian parents, Nikita 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. IMDb Mini Biography By: frankfob2(a)yahoo.com 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. http://www.nudevista.com/?q=nikita+gross 2013-03-28 Rita Russoff 9 8.5 Lots of sensual fun with the still sexy-as-ever Rita hoochiekoo 2013-03-15 Rita Russoff 8.5 9 great ps with a russian legend! yungnhung2013 2012-08-12 Rita Russoff 9 7 Hot n sexy MILF yestomassage 2012-07-01 Rita Russoff 8 8 To die for DiKKY 2012-04-17 Rita 8 8 Excellent experience whatever400 2012-04-13 Rita Russoff 8 7 Fun with a seasoned pro larsemars 2012-03-26 Rita Russoff 8 9 Great lapdance from a great lady JustAFaceInTheCrowd 2012-03-05 Rita Russoff 8.5 9.5 experienced and easy going gfchaucer 2012-02-23 Rita Russoff 8 9 amazing body. some of the best tits i've ever seen. pretty face. fun stage show. super seductive and engaging in private. delivered with little upsell. would repeat. justahobby7 2012-01-17 Rita Russoff 8.5 9.5 As promised gfchaucer 2011-06-09 Rita Russoff 8 8.5 Great sexy body created to excite porra 2011-04-15 Rita Russoff 8 8 Still like to see her beeker107 2010-03-23 Rita Russoff 7.5 9 everyone wants her beeker107 2010-03-11 Rita Russoff 8 8 Beautiful woman inside and out johnnyqrider 2010-01-15 Rita Russoff 8.5 9.5 see het once and your hooked beeker107 2009-11-19 Rita Russoff 9 9 Fell into her charms andyb 2009-11-10 Rita Russoff 9 9 Amazing service, so-so attitude alias39 2009-06-29 Rita Russoff 9 9 Worth the years I've been waiting vaxhacker 2008-08-22 Rita Russoff 7.5 8.5 a must see beeker107 2008-08-10 Rita Russoff 8 7.5 not the goddess she was a few years ago DirtyHari69

"Free as in sexist?" Free Culture and the Gender Gap

by Jenny Ryan

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 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: "Free as in Sexist?" Free Culture and the Gender Gap, by Joseph Reagle (2013) http://www.firstmonday.org/ojs/index.php/fm/article/view/4291/3381 Happy to discuss further, Jenny http://jennyryan.net http://thepyre.org http://thevirtualcampfire.org http://technomadic.tumblr.com `~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~` "Technology is the campfire around which we tell our stories." -Laurie Anderson "Storytelling reveals meaning without committing the error of defining it." -Hannah Arendt "To define is to kill.

(HIV) Immunity Project

by Eddan Katz

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 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. sent from eddan.com

Fwd: [BerkTIPGlobal] Fwd: [Noisebridge-discuss] NB Radio meetings - Roll over Noisebridge ... (Movin on, & new leaders)

by giovanni_re

--- Original message ----- From: "giovanni_re" <john_re(a)fastmail.us> To: "noisebridge-discuss" <noisebridge-discuss(a)lists.noisebridge.net>, Norman Bradley <pryankster(a)gmail.com>, Noisebridge Radio <noisebridgeradio(a)gmail.com> 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://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. :) --- Join the BerkeleyTIP-Global mail list - http://groups.google.com/group/BerkTIPGlobal.

MCHCK - The $5 ARM mcu board

by David Rorex

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:* 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.

Fwd: [nightlife-612] Warning to ladies from another Meetup

by Liberty Madison

I wanted to forward this email I received from a group I belong to on Meetup.com to Sudoers. An ALERT and Reminder. Apparently there seems to be a man attending meetups in the bay area who is being less than gentleman like with a few ladies. Check it out- ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Rick <info(a)meetup.com> Date: Tue, Oct 29, 2013 at 10:32 AM Subject: [nightlife-612] Warning to ladies from another Meetup To: nightlife-612-announce(a)meetup.com Hi All, Some of you 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 Oakland Happy Hour Organizer * * *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 * * Trust and Safety Lead * * Meetup HQ* -- This message was sent by Rick from The Oakland/East Bay Happy Hour<http://www.meetup.com/Oakland-Happy-Hour/> .

Broke fancy smart phone, arg.

by Pete Forsyth

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 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.

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.

[consensus] Nominations for Board of Directors

by Yardena Cohen

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 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!

Anyone interested in having a table for November ONL?

by Oakland Nights Live

Sudo-ers- The next Oakland Nights...Live! that we are hosting, on November 9th, is going to have a different format and we were wondering if anyone from Sudo Room would like to be involved. It is our 2nd birthday and we're going to have a series of installations / tables / interesting places around the room for people to visit and interact with rather than a proper show. Would anyone be interested in doing a fun, interactive activity? Either presenting something that you are working on or something else, either like 3D-printing, or making ice-cream, or bio-hacking, or wiki-ing, or any projects? I can give you more info to anyone who is interested. Thanks! -- Jeremy Michael Dalmas Host Oakland Nights...Live!

Below I attach the statement of my artistic research , the link where you can find some of my work and do not hesitate to contact me for any information. My email is: utopiaracanati(a)gmail.com I apologize for my English , but I trust in the understanding of the content, and you will be very happy to realize this project with all of you . *STATEMENT :* The focus of my work relies on my interest in the social history of man in relation to the urban political and architectural environments of human life. My work probes into those side-elements forgotten by history while focusing on the relationship between urban landscape and man’s societal development, between history of architecture and man’s political behaviours. I explore the consequences of the polarization of human existence between forms of conformism and integration, between differentiation and resistance. I also make remarks on the relationship between individual and collective memory in contingent history. My work, which is intimate, albeit not a diary, escapes every narrative purpose to prioritize an analytical perspective meant to build a repository of cultural memory to be drawn upon in terms references and examples to be used in a critical thinking and re-interpretation of present times.

flexible circuit board material works in wax-deposition printers!

by Jake

http://www.instructables.com/id/DIY-Flexible-Printed-Circuits/ Get some thin sheets of polyimide which have copper on one or both sides. Polyimide is a yellow polymer with a high melting temperature and is sometimes called Kapton. A common type of copper-coated polyimide is DuPont "Pyralux" material. Pyralux sheets come in many different varieties of polyimide thickness, copper thickness and adhesive thickness (the "adhesive" is between the copper and polyimide holding everything together.) Copper thickness is given in oz per square foot, while adhesive and Kapton thickness is given in mil (1 mil =0.001 inch). Pyralux LF7062 (pictured) has 1/2 oz Cu, 1/2 mil adhesive and 1 mil Kapton. This works OK but is a bit thin and crinkly for the printer to handle. LF9120 has 1 oz Cu, 1 mil adhesive and 2 mil Kapton - seems to work best in the printer LF9210 has 2 oz Cu, 1 mil adhesive and 1 mil Kapton - stiffer, but works OK Other options are double sided copper ( a sandwich of Cu/Kapton/Cu held together with adhesive) and a roughened surface, denoted by R at the end of the part number. The roughened sheets and double sided sheet work OK. However, Pyralux with 2 oz or thicker copper can be difficult to feed to the printer, especially if there is copper on both sides. See if you can get a free sample from DuPont. Occasionally, Pyralux sheets turn up on eBay. Cut the Pyralux sheets to 8.5x11 or 8.5x14 inches with scissors or a knife. Avoid smudging the copper with fingerprints or oil, which can block the etch solution later. To protect the printer, try to keep the edges relatively flat and free of burrs. For direct printing on the copper film, locate a solid-ink printer. These are commonly confused with laser printers, but instead print melted wax. Unlike most inkjets, the wax makes a good protective layer for copper etching, and unlike laser printers, solid ink printers don't rely on locally charging the paper surface, which could be troublesome when the paper is replaced by a copper sheet. Some models are Tektronix Phaser 840, 850, 860, and Xerox Phaser 8200, 8400, 8500, 8560, and 8860. You might find one in an office. Most Phaser models are regular laser printers, so check under the hood for the solid ink blocks (pictured) if you're not sure. If you don't have access to a solid ink printer, the "toner transfer" iron on method, using a laser-printed design, could replace this step.

Fwd: Saturday October 26th Event - Large Space Closed.....

by mattsenate＠gmail.com

// Matt ----- Forwarded message ----- From: "Laurie Cooperman Rosen" <Lscoop(a)comcast.net> To: "'Laurie Cooperman Rosen'" <Lscoop(a)comcast.net> Subject: Saturday October 26th Event - Large Space Closed..... Date: Fri, Oct 25, 2013 08:15 Hi All-This is a reminder to let you know that the large common space in 2141 has been rented out for a private event this Saturday evening, October 26th. Please try to minimize trips in/out of your office if you are located within the space, and please do not enter the common space unless you are heading directly to a room there or for handicapped elevator use. Sudo room, if you could open the door into the rear elevator and have folks use elevators to come up instead of walking through the big space, that would be great.Thanks so much for your consideration!Laurie & George

SEC to propose monumental crowdfunding rules tomorrow

by Eddan Katz

> E-mail > SEC to propose monumental crowdfunding rules on Wednesday > By J.D. Harrison > It was supposed to take 270 days. Instead, it has taken about twice that long. > > © 2013 The Washington Post Company | Privacy Policy On Wednesday, though, federal regulators will come one step closer to allowing people to purchase equity in start-ups through new online “crowdfunding” marketplaces. The Securities and Exchange Commission plans to formally propose rules on Wednesday authorizing companies to widely sell securities through the online portals, the agency announced late Monday. Currently, firms can offer equity crowdfunding deals only to accredited investors. Once the proposed rules are issued, the five-member board plans to vote whether to move forward on them. If approved, the rules will enter into what is expected to be a lengthy comment period before they would take effect. ....

City and Port of Oakland file Temporary Restraining Order Against Port Truckers

by Jeremy Entwistle

"In an effort to stop a forthcoming labor action at the port by independent truckers, the City and Port of Oakland filed temporary restraining orders against two named drivers and 2,000 unnamed John Does." https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2013/10/20/18745132.php Does that mean if there's more than 2000 people that they're allowed to be there? Only the first 2000 people are restricted... after that, it's fine. :P https://www.facebook.com/events/536144669809976 -- https://twitter.com/jwentwistle
