That's funny Meredith, I would enter the building from the main doors to the office building which was one store south of the theatre marquee. (see ken mc's first shot above) The doors on the other side of Casa de Oro store. And then take the elevator to the 5th floor and walk down the hall to the second booth door.
For everyone else all theatres of the time when built had to have two exits to the booth for the projectionist. In case of fire. The other door to the booth was on the right side of the booth. (when your standing inside the booth) But that door was always bolted, because of the patrons inside watching the movies. It was not a very large booth as Meredith said. The Los Angeles's booth was a Nice large booth and one of my favorite one for the size.
Here are two photos taken today. I was trying to get a shot of the booth but the proselytizers were swarming today, so it's a little blurry.
I use to love this booth. The State and Los Angeles were my two favorite boothes on Broadway. This was a long, narrow and a deco booth. It was just comfortable.
What was strange about State is you had to walk to the corner of the street, walk North to another business, take an elevator upwards, get out, and from there you would open a door to enter the projection room. Hey, that was nice. Nobody could bug you up in the booth.
From Boxoffice magazine, January 1963:
LOS ANGELES-Metropolitan Theaters is taking over the lease on the State Theater, as of January 14. United Artists is dropping the theater, which it has operated since 1949. The house is owned by Loew's Theaters. The UA lease had until May to run, but arrangements were worked out for the earlier takeover. This gives Sherrill C. Corwin's Metropolitan circuit most of the downtown first-runs.
lol….I guess you're brave. I was afraid they would suck my soul out and flush it down the toilet.
See post of 7/27/07. All things are possible, grasshopper.
They are really creepy also….they practically do a cavity search when you go inside to make sure you don't have a camera.
It doesn't look the same inside….that idiotic church painted white latex over everything.
Here is a photo taken yesterday:
A recent shot of the State's marquee:

Here's a photo of the State being built from a Harold Lloyd movie. The photos are from the author of the amazing books named Silent Echoes (Keaton) and Silent Traces (Chaplin). He's currently writing a new book about all the locations from Harold Lloyd films…can't wait.
I think that mentioning a year is quite sufficient. Contributing a release date for the movie doesn't mean that the ad was published at that precise time. I don't know where the self-confessed amnesiac gets the release dates from, but they are often dates when the movie was first reviewed somewhere and not necessarily being exhibited yet. Recently at the listing for the ex-Loew's Paradise, he posted a release date for "Butterfield 8" that was several months before the actual publication date of the ad, which was in the following year!
I usually put the dates on. I was working and doing this at the same time, so I wasn't being thorough.
"Ken mc," why don't you put specific dates on your ads? They must appear somewhere on the newspaper pages that are copied from. That would stop "Lo Mem" from trying to have the last word all the time.
Here is a 1938 ad from the LA Times:
Today, sadly, the website dropped the historic Loew's from the theater's name, to be consistent with this site's overall policy.
That was with a cell phone. OK for closeups, but not much good long range. I had to toss some other Broadway shots I took today.
Here is an April 2008 photo:
Here is a screen shot from the 1988 film "Colors":
You can see the marquee in the film "Action Jackson" (around 51 minutes in). The film takes place in another city, but they used Downtown Los Angeles for select location shots.
Ken: with the big camera I had around my neck that day. I'd surely have been chased out. If I ever go back, I will take your advice. Thanks again.
You're welcome, Bill. You can easily go inside and walk around as long as you don't start taking pictures. Then you get chased out.
If you can't tell the diffrence between between a theater and a theatre you've got not class that's all I can say.
Ken, thanks for taking those photos last summer. In January I walked down Broadway and saw the outsides of all the great theaters, but was too scared to actually try going inside any of them. Maybe I should have, if you got into the State. Anyway, thanks again for posting pictures of where "Forbidden Planet" opened in 1956.
stevebob, that small vertical sign before it was blanked out said "Seiko" and was blue in color for the watch store at the corner at one time. The store was LeRoys. The State has not had any other signage other than the marquee for decades on the building. When it had a Big A feature playing the companies sign department put up a large display above the marquee.

For me and my fellow Birchbox eds, watching Sex and the City was a rite of passage—one that gave us
somewhat completely unrealistic ideas about what kind of fashion was possible on a freelance writer's budget. That's ok, since half the fun of the show was oogling Carrie's outfits, not to mention those of Samantha, Miranda, and Charlotte.
While the The Carrie Diaries, the CW's new prequel to the HBO favorite, doesn't feature any of the usual suspects (save Carrie, duh), it's similar to the original in its abundance of envelope-pushing looks. As children of the '80s, the decade in which the show takes place, we're particularly excited for plenty of shoulder pads and leg warmers. Here's a look at five of our favorite fashion and beauty trends that have already made cameos:
Frilly Pink Party Dress: When Pretty in Pink first came out, we were slightly too young to fully appreciate it. But as we got older, we realized that nothing epitomizes '80s fashion more than an ultragirly bubblegum frock.
You might be surprised to find out that all five of these incredibly successful, gorgeous women all have one thing in common (besides being silver screen stars): wrinkle-banishing beauty brand Frownies. Raquel Welch professed a love for Frownies Facial Patches in her aptly titled autobiography Beyond the Cleavage, while Sex & the City's makeup artist Eve Pearl confessed that the brand's Wrinkle Treatment was an on-set essential. But our current Frownies fave, which some of you will be receiving in your Birchbox this month, are the revitalizing Eye Gels patches.
Left: Birchbox's brand relationship manager, Alta. Right: Stephanie Tanner from Full House.
A couple of weeks ago after a particularly frenetic work week, a couple of us were at the office later than usual trying to get things finished up before the weekend. Since Friday evenings aren't generally the most productive works hours, it should come as no surprise that we lapsed into a lot of chatter. What might come as a shock though is that we stumbled onto the topic of everyone's favorite hair accessory to hate: the scrunchie.
I was convinced that no stylish woman, definitely no New Yorker, has owned one since the late '90s. But our brand relationship manager, Alta, set me straight. A card-carrying member of the scrunchie fan club, Alta wears the poofy fabric-covered elastics around her apartment and even in public, albeit only to the gym. But here's the real kicker: she is both fashion-savvy AND a resident of NYC proper. So does this mean that the Carrie Bradshaw theory about scrunchie-wearers is completely debunked? Just maybe. Even though you won't catch me wearing one, Alta did get me to thinking that maybe there are more young, cool, trendsetting women out there that own them and just don't admit to it. I thought an anonymous poll would be a good way to figure this out—if you love your scrunchie, be proud and cast your vote below!

30 Days of M*A*S*H* Day 9: Favorite Quoutes
"Maj. Frank Burns: I know I'm a real asset.
Capt. Benjamin Franklin "Hawkeye" Pierce: You're only off by two letters"
Its a good thing you put that s there question maker. Is it possible to just type out every line of all eleven seasons? I was able to find some gifs of a few favorites.
well after sifting through IMDB and digging up a few others, here's some more favorite quoutesPotter: Fire that weapon!
Hawkeye: Fire it? I don't even like looking at it!
Potter: I said fire that weapon!
Hawkeye: All right. [To the gun] You're fired! [To Potter] I did it as gently as I could.
Potter: That was an order, Pierce.
Hawkeye: (Snapping his fingers): Oh waiter, would you take this man's order, please?
Potter: Fire the gun Hawkeye.
Hawkeye: Look Colonel, I'll heal their wounds, treat their wounds, bind their wounds, but I will not inflict their wounds.
Potter: You can't just sit there.
Hawkeye: I may be sitting on the outside but I'm running on the inside.
Potter: You love life that little?
Hawkeye: I hate GUNS that much.
Capt. Benjamin Franklin "Hawkeye" Pierce: Am I insane?
Dr. Sidney Freedman: Hawkeye, you are probably the sanest person here. If you were crazy you'd be sleeping like a baby.
Capt. Benjamin Franklin "Hawkeye" Pierce: Henry, I know why I'm crying now. Tommy was my friend, and I watched him die, and I'm crying. I've watched guys die almost every day. Why didn't I ever cry for them?
Henry Blake: Because you're a doctor.
Capt. Benjamin Franklin "Hawkeye" Pierce: The hell does that mean?
Henry Blake: I don't know. If I had the answer, I'd be at the Mayo Clinic. Does this place look like the Mayo Clinic? Look, all I know is what they taught me at command school. There are certain rules about a war. And rule number one is young men die. And rule number two is, doctors can't change rule number one.
Capt. Benjamin Franklin "Hawkeye" Pierce: A war is like when it rains in New York and everybody crowds into doorways, ya know? And they all get chummy together. Perfect strangers. The only difference, of course, is in a war it's also raining on the other side of the street and the people who are chummy over there are trying to kill the people who are over here who are chums.
Capt. Benjamin Franklin "Hawkeye" Pierce: Charles, how come you never sweat?
Maj. Charles Emerson Winchester III: In the first place, I do not sweat; I perspire. In the second place, I never perspire.
Capt. Benjamin Franklin "Hawkeye" Pierce: [Over P.A. system] Attention all personnel, it's now 12:01, which means it's no longer today, it's tomorrow. This is Benjamin Franklin Berle livening up your dead of night. Thanks to B.J. Hunnicut, I had a brief bout with jokus interruptus, but now I'm back to abnormal. So bare with me while I take care of some unfinished business. Hey Igor, keeper of the public ptomaine, before you go to bed, don't forget to walk tomorrow's breakfast. And let me tell you something, Margaret: you always talk about the leather but you never do anything about it. You know - you know what I mean? And a big hello to Charles, our chief procurement officer. I guess you found out you can't get to Tokyo on the layaway plan. You know? Heh heh. And the ever-popular Horace Baldwin, hereby awarded the fig leaf cluster for service above and beneath the call of duty. Ha ha ha ha. But seriously -… "

Jokowi News App is a simple application to get the news, pictures, and videos about Jokowi. You can share information to social media, select news to put on the favorite page and save your favorite pictures in the photo gallery.
Jokowi's leadership style is common in many popular democratic systems. But he is the first leader in our post-reform era to break down the elitist political culture.
Considering his background, Jokowi was nobody in politics back in 2005 when he won the PDI-P ticket to contest the Surakarta mayoral election. He has no affiliation with either the New Order or the political movement of the 1990s. He was just a local furniture entrepreneur who successfully managed his business.
As Jokowi is untarnished by past political regimes, his emergence gives the impression of genuineness. If decentralization and local democracy can offer an alternative source of leadership recruitment and innovative practice of governability, Jokowi is one of its fruits.
Indonesia should start to expect national leadership in the future to take "local experience" as a plus. Jokowi grew up in the local, political arena that required political leaders to engage closely with people and perform concretely for them as the condition for legitimacy Jokowi News App.
Criticism certainly could be addressed to him, but one cannot ignore that he performs "genuine" grassroots leadership.

Ripley, NY (WKBW-TV)
An early morning structure fire at 10771 Northeast Sherman Road in Ripley has left a barn a total loss. Ripley Fire, South Ripley Fire, Sherman Fire and North East Fire Departments all responded to the scene of the fire--flames had engulfed the building upon their arrival.
The Chautauqua County Fire Investigation Team investigated the fire and found that the cause was due to a heat lamp that was being utilized to keep several baby pigs warm. This light apparently came in contact with some hay near the lamp which led to the barn catching fire. 12 pigs total were killed in the fire.

Re:Support Our Beleaguered Family(editorial, 7/17/2014)
While it is absolutely essential to show our support for Israel by contributions to organizations that are raising funds during these difficult times, each of us has the responsibility to function outside of these groups in supporting the Jewish state. Writing letters to the media and to our congressional representatives and informing our non-Jewish friends about the facts of the conflict are equally important. Israel has been losing the media war as can be seen in the newspapers, TV and other outlets for the news. We must try to combat this flood of anti-Israel propaganda by taking action personally..
Support for Our Beleaguered Israeli Family
We are all glued to news sources for information about Israel's ongoing Gaza war. While there is some sense of déjà vu in the daily reports of the conflict — reminding us of a similar war fewer than two years ago — this one is different. This time, Hamas' rockets have a far greater range and have put a larger part of the country under threat. That threat requires a more comprehensive response.
Israel has every right to defend herself and her citizens and to do what is necessary to remove the ongoing threat to her safety and security. But the reality is that such activity comes at a tremendous price, on every conceivable level.
So, what can we do to help and support Israel? While the violence and uncertainty have led to a drop in general tourism to Israel, targeted programs such as Taglit Birthright are still going full force. And several Jewish organizations have launched "solidarity missions" to Israel to demonstrate Diaspora concern for Israel's well-being. Members of our local community have gone on those solidarity missions, and their reports from Israel are inspiring.
To that same end, major Jewish organizations and local Jewish federations have commenced campaigns to raise funds to support the mounting social needs generated by the ongoing conflict.
Locally, The Associated: Jewish Community Federation of Baltimore has set up an Israel Emergency Relief Campaign for trauma relief, to care for those at risk, including the elderly and vulnerable populations, and for the immediate mobilization of those vulnerable populations to safer environments.
The Associated's effort is part of Jewish Federations of North America's Stop the Sirens Campaign, which is leading a major North American effort to raise and to distribute funds to provide emergency aid. That campaign is also supported by the Union of Reform Judaism and the United Synagogue for Conservative Judaism. The Orthodox Union has set up a separate emergency campaign, as has B'nai B'rith International.
Each of these efforts is worthwhile. They present members of our community a direct means to help Israelis in need, to express support for the Protective Edge effort and to strengthen connections with the Jewish state. We endorse and encourage participation in these and other similar efforts designed to bring comfort and support to our Israeli family.

Bug infestation creates comedic mayhem in SyFy's upcoming movie
The new SyFy (SciFi channel) movie Infestation is set to thrill viewers when it's unleashed on August 8th.
The movie which is a blend of bug apocalyptic horror and rip-roaring comedy is set to tear-up our TV screens and have us laughing hysterically.
When new office employee Cooper wakes up to find himself hanging from the ceiling and covered in webbing he struggles to escape only to find his imprisoner lying in wait, A 3 foot tall bug that's now rather annoyed that its lunch is trying to escape!
The movie follows Cooper and a few survivors as they try to find a safe haven in a world now over taken by oversized creepy crawlies!
I must admit after watching the trailer (see below) I'm really looking forward to seeing this, it looks like it's one of them quirky little sci-fi comedy movies that I grew up watching and loving! Eight legged freaks being one that comes to mind and if this movie is anywhere near as implausible, incredible and damn right silly as that was then it's definitely going to be worth a watch… in my opinion at least!
You can catch the movie on SyFy August 8th at 9pm and repeated at 1am

Hacking BrowserPlus
Wow. It's pretty cool to see so much excitement about BrowserPlus just a day after putting it into public view. Truly, its humbling. Already many folks seem eager to go beyond experiencing it and actually start tinkering, building – and some have. It requires a bit of tenacity to uncover but actually, everything you need to get started is at your fingertips. Let's look at what it takes to start hacking.
In this file are all the functions outlined in the code samples along with a full under-the-hood look at what is going on in many of the calls. The two key functions you'd need to know are init() and require(). (See the linked samples for usage.) Putting this together we can create a simple local file,
This is a simple document that will attempt to initialize BrowserPlus. If it succeeds, it writes "Hello World" to the document body. If you run this sample in your BrowserPlus-enabled browser it will fail. Why? Currently, BrowserPlus is restricted to Yahoo! sites; that includes restrictions for running local files. A simple addition to our test file exposes the error:
else {greeting = "BrowserPlus is hiding. ("+res.verboseError+")";}
The error BP_EC_UNAPPROVED_DOMAIN confirms the local domain (
file://) isn't permitted. That means it's time to dig into the BP configuration files. On Mac these are in
/Users/[you]/Library/Application Support/Yahoo!/BrowserPlus/
On Windows XP, you'll find them in something akin to
c:\\Documents And Settings\[you]\Local Settings\Application Data\Yahoo!\BrowserPlus\
and on Windows Vista…
In the Permissions folder is a file similarly named which is what we're looking for. Opening it up we see:
"whitelist" : [ "^http(s?)://(.*)\\.yahoo\\.com$", "^http(s?)://(.*)\\.yahoo\\.com:[0-9]+$" ],
The intuitive addition to this list is:
"whitelist" : [ "^http(s?)://(.*)\\.yahoo\\.com$", "^http(s?)://(.*)\\.yahoo\\.com:[0-9]+$", "^file://$" ],
The file is modified, but BrowserPlus hasn't picked up the changes yet. The clean way to force this is to close all open browser windows. (BrowserPlus shuts down when no pages are using it.) The dirty way to do this is to search for BrowserPlusCore in your process list and kill it using your favorite platform-available tool. Either way, after opening test.html back up we should see our "Hello World." Sweet – now we're ready to start playing.
There is one final catch. BrowserPlus is fairly proactive about security so it helps to know that the permissions file will be overwritten on a regular basis. The savvy way around this would be a simple build script or at least a handy copy of our modified permissions file that we can use to reapply the changes in between development sessions. We might also test for BP_EC_UNAPPROVED_DOMAIN somewhere in our init callback to scream if the temporary development environment is disrupted.
That's a lot of under-the-hood detail, but the takeaway is that BrowserPlus was more-or-less designed to be hacked. Not hacked in the "I want to steal innocent users data and delete their files" sort of way, but in a manner that allows experimentation and freedom without compromising the security of pedestrian users. There's more there to be mined, but enabling local development is a good place to start. Good luck and cheers to all the curious and creative souls.

Day 2 of fitbit, used it 1 1/2 days no drama.
I have been trying to sync off and on for 8 hours now, and nothing.
I have tried:
2 different computers
shutting down and restarting computers
uninstalling and reinstalling the software
plugging and unplugging the sync station
refreshing and restarting internet
I have followed every bit of advice I can find on here and mb threads...
What now?
I wsih there was a way to tell if data transfer was happening, at the moment I don't know if it is a problem with the hardware or software or if the site is down or anything - just left in the dark with the fitbit recording steps but no idea why I can't get it to sync with the dashboard.
Oh and the time is 12 hours out (am instead of pm) even though it is set right on the settings on the dashboard.
Help! To have this on Day 2 isn't great...

A few things that may help
Make sure that you have the right timezone in both MFP AND Fitbit - I found that MFP isn't taking into account Daylight savings so I have had to pretend I am in Central Europe (tsk!) :-)
I thought I had it right in FB, but it attached me to something ridinkidonk like Mountain Prairie Lion Dinner Time so doublecheck.
Then I read this in a review, and it works. I noticed my unit was not charging so either press it onto the contacts in the base station so that the battery sign comes up on the unit, and it should link... and the dahsboard will eventually tell you when it has synched.
OR (and this does work), find an elastic band and wrap that around the FB AND the base unit to force it to be touching the base station contacts - this works for me in terms of charging it. and synching.
If none of those work, take a deep breath and post on the FB Community, and ask if Jerrod (the staff member who monitors the forum) to suggest if he thinks it is a faulty unit or if he can come up with something.. he seems to be fantastically helpful.
I had exactly the same issues on my first couple of days - so hopefully it will be OK
(I assume that you have registered the FB with fitbit.com as per the setup after uninstalling and reinstalling? That annoyed me with mine as it wouldn't detect it until I had reset the base unit with the FB inside and then when I thought about upgrading the firmware, it couldn't find it again, and I couldn't be bothered to try it all again as I managed to get it working).
I hope this helps.

Yes it did help, thanks...
I tried to reregister as per your post at the bottom (the battery light is coming on when on the base station) and then got this message:
"Your tracker has not responded to requests.
Please make sure the tracker is on the base station
Then press and release the Fitbit Tracker button once more
and click Next.
Still need help? Please visit our FAQ section
If this problem persists, please Contact Support "
So I am following the faq with restting it with the button on the bottom, uninstalling, then reinstalling... if this doesn't work I will wander over to find Jerrod.
Thanks heaps for replying, I really appreciate it :)

How exactly do I uninstall and start over? Over a week and still says 0 steps. I'm so aggravated! Please help. Sent email to fitbit but probably won't get response til Monday. I've been reading everything and can't figure out what to do or how to uninstall. I went to uninstall on my computer but don't see fitbit. When I go to fitbit.com it says I'm logged in and shows calories burn but no steps. I reset base? Please help!

Flip The Script by Christina P. Acker
Distinctive hand style lettering is an essential skill for artists and designers. Deftly executed hand crafted letter forms are a nearly forgotten art in an age of endless free fonts. Graffiti is one of the last reservoirs of highly refined, well practiced penmanship. The most reviled and persecuted form of Graffiti, the Tag, is seldom appreciated for the raw beauty of its skeletal letter forms. Most tags are removed immediately, and thus the casual viewer seldom has a chance to discern the difference between entry level and advanced hand styles. Within the pages of Flip the Script, author Christian Acker has systematically analyzed the best graffiti hand styles, contextualizing the work of graffiti writers from around the United States. Acker presents the various lettering samples in a clean organized format, giving the material a proper, formal treatment evoking classic typography books. Buy it here: http://amzn.to/1bdPmKs
Aerial, Joseph Ford
On a trip to Sicily, Mauritius and Morocco photographer Joseph Ford spent several days flying around over all sorts of terrain in a helicopter. After showing the aerial pictures to some friends they suggested shooting a series mixing fashion and landscapes. Juxtaposing clothes and aerial landscape, the piece of work was selected for the Association of Photographers Awards in the UK and had an Honorable Mention in the International Photography Awards. The combination of images creates a fascinating interaction, highlighting the appeal of each image, which would have been less remarkable on their own.

Paid parking advocate to be invited to Sarasota
Date: September 24, 2009
by: Robin Roy | City Editor
The city of Sarasota is considering hiring one of the country's leading urban planners and paid-parking advocates to speak to several community groups. The fee to retain his services is $6,000.
Dr. Donald Shoup is a UCLA professor and author of books such as "The High Cost of Free Parking." The city will ask Shoup to host a series of forums in February to discuss parking in Sarasota and whether parking meters make sense downtown.
Susan Dodd, parking general manager, asked the board of the Downtown Improvement District this week if they would put $2,000 toward the cost of inviting Shoup. The board approved the request.
After he conducts the community forums, Shoup would make a parking proposal for Sarasota. The city wants to form an ad hoc committee of community members to consider that proposal. DID Chairman Larry Fineberg agreed to be part of that committee.

Hi. Gaby here. This site's been dormant for a good long while. I've been posting regularly at No Fun Gaby Dunn doing all kinds of amazing things. Head over there, if you're still following this Tumblr and follow me there to see where I've been since 100 Interviews.
Part of me thinks it's too soon to be writing about this because I don't think I've completely processed how I feel, but I also think maybe this has happened to other women and I should talk about it in as raw a way as possible. I'm still really embarrassed and ashamed and garbled up inside, but maybe this can start a helpful discussion in terms of women and comedy.
Last night, I was on a stand up show in the East Village. The show started out with a small crowd and the host did an amazing job interacting with them and riling them up. By the time I got on stage, there were about 20 or so more people in the audience and the place had really filled up. The show was still kind of loose because of the back and forth between the host and the audience, so when I got on stage, I riffed a bit about the stuff that had happened before and then talked to one guy on the side of the audience who the host had dubbed "Banana Republic." All joke-y. All in good fun.
Then, I start my actual set and do my first two jokes, which go pretty okay. I start another joke that is vaguely sexual - not crude, not crass - mainly silly and that goes well too. The next joke I do is about my boyfriend.
At a comedy show, when you're on stage, usually you can't see the audience because of the bright lights. So I'm looking into pitch darkness. As I start the joke, someone yells, "Does your boyfriend know?" referring to the sexuality joke I'd just told. I stop, laugh and say that he does because I think it's just more of the loose environment that's been going on at this show. I attribute it to an audience member just having fun.
I start to tell the joke about my boyfriend again, and at the midway point, the same voice yells something else derogatory about my boyfriend, homophobic and misogynistic towards me. I stop, confused. I can't see who is talking to me so I make a HUGE mistake and say, "Sir, if you're gonna talk to me, you need to come to the front because I can't see you." I think calling him out like this will shut him up.

Nope, sorry, but that's just not possible, at least not with CVS pserver.
What's not possible ? Using IPSEC ?!
The unix security model, within which CVS is designed and implemented to

This is in fact a basic, fundamental, requirement of all systems of this
I'm not sure what You mean by "human user". The users in cvs doesn't have
to be mapped to system users(CVSROOT/passwd).
CVS is not, and cannot be, a security tool so running it as root and
pretending to have it do all your authentication and authorisation flies
directly in the face of the underlying system security model and leaves
you with no real and verifiable accountability whatsoever, and it also
leaves you open to the possibility of yet another vulnerability vector
in the form of the unaudited CVS code base. Remember that the vast
majority of all security incidents originate internally to the
organisations they affect.
You're right CVS is not a security tool. It's a version control system.
In fact, what You are talking about ? Do You remember what the subject
of the post You're replying to was ?
If you think your network is secure enough courtesy other mechanisms
then you can use RSH instead of SSH, but DO NOT try to use cvspserver
for anything but totally anonymous access.
There's a site outhere. It's sf.net . They demonstrate, with the number

The cvs server doesn't have to be run as root. IMHO it's pretty bad
idea to run it as root. Furthermore cvs provides several hooks, which
could be utilized if you need control at certain points and over
certain operations. E.g. commiters could be controlled by module and
About the password scrambling. It's well documented why it's like
that. The scrambling algorithm is also described. And it's all there.

S.O. said that fake security is worse than no security. Password

On the other side, people's stupidity is endless. I won't be surprised
to see private keys posted in a public forum. This, ofcourse, could
be nothing but a reason for admiration.

On the occasion of its designation as the 2013 European Capital of Culture, the City of Marseille, France, has unveiled a spectacular new museum on the Mediterranean Sea that is protected from exposure to saltwater by ultra-high-performance concrete.
July 16, 2013—Marseille, the French port city overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, has been designated by the European Union as the 2013 European Capital of Culture. To celebrate, the city is hosting events throughout the year. It is also taking the wraps off of an expansive new museum project: the €113.4-million ($U.S.148.2 million) Musée des Civilisations de l'Europe et de la Méditerranée (Museum of Civilizations from Europe and the Mediterranean) or MuCEM. Drawing on collections from two predecessor institutions, the Musée National des Arts et Traditions Populaires and the Musée de l'Homme, MuCEM will house a staggering collection of 250,000 art and cultural objects, 500,000 photos, and 110,000 prints, all dedicated to the rich cultures and civilizations of the Mediterranean region.
The museum is divided between a new building, on the city's old J4 pier, and the renovated Fort St. Jean, a military complex adjacent to the pier that dates to the 12th century. A footbridge that slices across the edge of the sea joins the buildings.
The J4 building is a square structure sheathed on two sides and the roof with a stunning façade of filigreed ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC). The concrete façade serves as a sunshade for the museum itself, eliminating the need for blinds, but it appears to be much more. It's as if charcoal-colored lace curtains were diffusing the building's mass in a complex array of light and shadow, making the structure seem both tangible and transparent. The façade also helps create a perimeter walking path around the museum's central exhibits, which will allow visitors, in the quirky phrase of the museum's own description, to "demuseumify" themselves and catch fragmented views of the fort and the sea.

Architect Rudy Ricciotti won the competition to design the museum in 2003 (the design work actually began in 2002), but work didn't really begin until 2010. The intervening years turned out to be crucial, in that they afforded Ricciotti's firm time in which to fine-tune its research into UHPC. "It was kind of an internal research program," says Tilman Reichert, the project manager for Rudy Ricciotti Architecte, and the supervisor of the architectural aspects of the project. That research lasted for several years. "We invented some parts of this project," he says. "Now let's figure out how to do it. This was finally the reason that when we started to build in 2010, we were ready to start."
UHPC is not reinforced with traditional rebar but instead reinforced with very dense steel fibers, only 2 to 4 centimeters long. In that way, Reichert explains, UHPC works like traditional horsehair-reinforced clay. In a written document, Ricciotti further describes the concrete: "The presence of fibers in the UHPC allows the structure to free itself from the passive steel and thus causes the elimination of coating layers and the reduction of the structural thickness." For instance, it is possible, he writes, to create ultra-thin bridge decks. Additionally, "by reducing the amount of material to install, the time of handling and implementation such as for a lattice, for example, is also decreased."
Reichert says that the compression resistance of UHPC is five to eight times greater than normal concrete. With the latter, you can "charge" concrete by 500-700 kilograms per square centimeter; in laboratory conditions UHPC enables conditions compression at 3 or 4 tons per square centimeter.
Ricciotti further notes that the concrete, "which fears neither corrosion nor dirtying," resists pollutants, wear, and abrasion. "In some high environmental quality standard areas targets, it is more efficient than steel," he writes.
Thinness and pollution resistance are not the only benefits. UHPC also has superior waterproofing characteristics compared to ordinary concrete. The largest grains of UHPC have a section of less than 1 mm. This is important in climates in which concrete is exposed to salt water—at the edge of the Mediterranean, for example. Salt water can infiltrate normal concrete and start oxidizing rebar. Reichert calls Marseille "a corrosive climate, [a] rusty climate," and therefore its concrete is vulnerable to the microprecipitation of sea spray. "It's the danger of every concrete structure on the seaside," he says. On other projects Ricciotti uses UHPC for roof construction with waterproofing.

But UHPC is not widely used. "It is not easy to build with, it's not easy to design with," says Romain Ricciotti, an engineer for Lamoureux & Ricciotti Ingeniere, the small firm that carried out the structural studies for the construction. "If you miss one detail it becomes very expensive."
But the concrete filigree sunshade of the museum's exterior also shows the potential of the material. The filigree is made of a series of 6 m by 3 m panels, only 10 cm thick on the facades and a mere 7 cm thick on the roof. The panels were designed then tested and modified on the basis of whether they would function structurally. "There's not one decorative piece in it," Reichert says. "Every piece participates on the structural load."
Though the filigree appears entirely organic and random, the panels reproduce a handful of forms, which can be rotated to link with the other panels in a variety of ways. Ricciotti notes it was critical that the components be precast accurately to avoid shrinkage, "so you can mold it like a cake," he says. "The mold needs to be a little bit flexible to avoid cracking."
In addition to the filigree, the museum utilized another "organic" looking structural system: a series of columns that support MuCEM's exhibition spaces. With help from a cabinetmaker, engineers designed a catalog of nearly two dozen shapes that could be fitted together like Legos. The column shapes, which do not go straight up or down but rather bend like the branches of a tree, constitute the main vertical structure. These UHPC columns, prestressed by posttensioning, can be compressed by up to 180 tons, reducing the weight of the structure, reducing seismic loads, and increasing transparency.
Ricciotti's firm designed a catalog of nearly two dozen treelike columns, the shapes of which could be fitted together in different combinations. The columns were made of wood, and with help from the cabinetmaker builders created the molds and prefabricated the 340 UHPC column pieces with a dimensional tolerance of less than 1 mm.

At the top of the new J4 building, a thin 120 m long footbridge extends over the waterfront to connect with the historic St. Jean Fort. The bridge, which has a span of 80 m, is constructed with a series of 25 UHPC elements, each about 4.5 m long, joined by a series of cables and placed under tension until the elements form a structural system that behaves like a beam. Due to its high compression strength the bridge is quite thin and light and, again, an effective barrier to salt water.
Reichert notes that because UHPC is not considered a standardized material, designers and engineers on the project had to go through a procedure known as ATEX, or approbations technique experimental, which requires builders to establish the technical quality of new materials or construction processes. Engineers had to explain to a commission of experts that the process would in fact work.
"We explained to the commission how we would do it, justified how it would work, on which elements we'd have to make some tests," says Reichert. The commission's blessing would enable the building to be properly insured. Fortunately, the minister of culture, the official client for this project, was a supporter. "From the beginning he considered that innovative architecture and construction is part of culture, and UHPC specialists on his project team allowed him to appreciate the technical expertise that we were proposing," Reichert says.
Both Reichert and Ricciotti anticipate that UHPC will continue to grow in popularity, but don't expect it to be used in mass production just yet. Reichert says the firm insists that innovative architectural and technical projects serve both as an engine for local economies and the valorization of engineers' expertise.
"You need experts and engineers who know how to work it," he says. "You need craftsmen. You can't buy it."

I got a sample of this from my Lush and I have to admit I did not like it the first time I used it. However, after a couple more uses, I've grown to adore this shampoo. It definitely is very unique because I've never used a grainy shampoo before. It smells great and cleans your hair and scalp really well. However, I will say that it kind of dries out my hair (probably the sea salt) which makes my hair very tangled and hard to work with when trying to apply conditioner.

i was so excited when i bought this because of the reviews. but i honestly didn't think it make my hair big in any way. it made it really shiny but it looked greesy. at first i hated the smell but i got used to it. wouldn't buy it again.
I love this shampoo! But not for what it's supposed to do. I have fine, straight, hair that gets oily really fast. This shampoo doesn't help me with volume, but it helps control the oil which is something amazing for me. I only put this on my scalp, i don't use it for the middle or bottom part of my hair. I only use this once or twice a week, I use a more gentle shampoo the other days.
Controls oil
Smells great
Deep cleans hair
Contains sodium lauryl sulfate, which is bad for you
Tangles hair easily
This was the first shampoo I've ever used that came in a big tub and had a grainy texture, so it was an interesting experience! The tub could've been made so that it is easier to close, but nevermind that. First off, the lather it could be worked into was great, and I only need an amount the size of my thumb to clean my hair completely (it's about five inches longer than my shoulders). My hair felt clean after one rinse, and the smell of the shampoo was so fresh! I found that this shampoo helps add volume to my hair (which is normally medium in thickness). When I wake up in the morning after washing with this at night, my hair doesn't feel as flat at the crown but keeps that "just washed", soft feel. Sadly, this product is quite hard to find where I live, but I now use Kerastase Bain Satin 1, which gives the same results (different washing experience though).

I LOVE this shampoo. When I first bought it I was doubtful that it would lather up to get a good shampoo out of it, but surprising it does. It leaves my hair feeling soft and fresh and it smells lovely! My hair has a really glossy shine when it's dry and the smell lasts for days. Although it's rather pricey I really think it's worth the money.

I have very fine hair, very straight no maintenance needed at all.
I would say I like it enough to repurchase it, but not totally in love with it. I wash my hair every day, even with this product I will do. It gave me lots of volume after I blow dry in the morning. But later on afternoon around 3pm my hair starts getting a bit oily, but still better than I use other shampoo from drugstore. So that a huge improvement for me. But I still need to wash my hair every morning, because once I woke up in the morning my hair looks and feels very grassy, if I dont wash them my scalp will be very itchy. Even BIG is made for oily hair, but didnt solve my oily scalp. Well it still gives a good deep clean for scalp. After I this product, I noticed my hair grow much faster and healthier. Even my husband noticed my hair look much shinier and grow faster. For deep clean and volume I will repurchase this product again.
I was given a sample of this at the Macy's Lush counter. Did not work for me. The first thing I was noticed was the smell...I hate it. I agree with the other reviewers that it's drying. It also made my hair feel like it had a residue buildup. Eww.

I got a sample of this from the store to try since it is sk pricey. They were so kind and gave me a large enough sample for 2 full weeks of use.
I'm glad I didn't waste my money. Although it made my full of body, it dried it out as well. Plus, after using it I broke out on my neck and scalp like an allergic reaction. I've never had an allergic reaction to a product before I went to lush, I was definitely disappointed.
As a person whose hair is both baby-fine AND thin, I am now and always have been in search of volume. Obviously, that's what brought me to Big.
Unfortunately for me this is a very, very, VERY drying shampoo. My hair squeaks when I use this and I promise you: that is a Bad Thing. Even after conditioning my hair doesn't feel much better, and if it does add volume I think it's only because it roughs the hair up so much.
I also HATE how this leaves a salt residue over your skin when you rinse it off. Woe betide you if it gets on your lips! Disgusting! I'll never purchase again. I'll find other ways to add volume.

I have worked my way through two pots of this product, and am leaving it to try something else. While at first this product did seem to give me more body and lift to my hair (which lays very limp at the roots) now it no longer seems to do anything for me. It does clean well though, so if I can't find something better I would reluctantly come back to it.
Because of the salt in this product (which I actually find kind of fun!) over time I think it has also been too drying. That's not a problem if I concentrate it on my oily roots, but for the rest of my hair I think it has been too much. This may also be because of using the LUSH Veganese conditioner, which I don't think is rich enough for my dry ends. Love the smell of BIG though, very fresh!
This product also takes some getting used to - you need to have VERY wet hair, and then apply the product and lather it in. Then you'll get a great lather, and you only need about one fingerful or less for long hair. Unfortunately the packaging isn't ideal for shampoo - I know LUSH always uses the recycled pots, which is great, but if you have it open in the shower it can get full of water, and it's tricky to scoop it out when you get towards the end.
I love LUSH as a company (natural, no animal testing) and always want to love their products. I loved this product at first but over time it has started to let me down. Also for the price I feel it should be a bit better, even though a pot does last me a very long time. Sorry LUSH!

Toddlers change everyday and are amazingly fast learners. At IvyCrest, we are proud to offer a carefully designed, age appropriate program that provides both freedoms and opportunities for the children to explore and discover as they work with a wide variety of Montessori materials and educational toys in an environment that is spacious, colorful, and stimulating.
The following areas of learning in the Montessori environment are designed to satisfy the needs of a young child´s sensitive period of order, independence, concentration, coordination, and exploration n the course of a normal day.
These exercises are simple but critical to toddler development. Children learn about caring for themselves and their environment, and explore the simple concepts of grace and courtesy through exercises such as spooning, pouring, sorting, dressing, sweeping, hand washing, greeting, basic manners and table setting.
Toddlers learn about the world around them through active use of all the senses. Sensorial and manipulative activities include bead stringing, puzzles, and matching by shape, size, color and texture. These exercises are tremendously attractive to a toddler and create the opportunities for learning that are essential to their development.
New words are introduced to toddlers on a continuing basis to grow and develop their vocabulary by engaging them in activities.
Reading together is a pleasurable time, and a variety of books, flannel boards, stories and puppetry are utilized for this activity.
Children enjoy gathering together to learn new songs, sing old favorites, and play age appropriate instruments, music games, perform finger plays and use colorful puppets. An assortment of flash cards is also utilized within the music program to build on the children´s language foundation.
The stimulating environment in which the children grow and learn includes interesting, simple art activities such as pasting, paper tearing, painting, play dough and more.
Playing together and learning to share are just a few of the activities that prepare the children for important facets of life, but it sometimes takes children considerable time to do these things successfully. In our Pre-Primary classrooms, each teacher and assistant is available to assist the children through these critical social development processes in a variety of ways. For example, children are encouraged to share with others during "circle time." Adequate time is allowed, ensuring each child the opportunity to share, making this a satisfying and positive experience for the children.
When a child is ready, he is introduced to simple math activities such as rote counting, and identifying numerals from 1 to 10.
Fresh air activities are encouraged and include ride-on toys, play equipment and organized games. Our staff carefully supervise the children at all times, providing guidance, conflict resolution, and interaction.
When your child is ready to move up to the primary learning and activities, he will be allowed a transition period from their toddler environment. It is our goal to ensure they feel as comfortable and confident as possible in their new environment. Parents and guardians are informed in advance in writing as to when transitioning will take place.
