After the age of twenty-one, your body slowly stops releasing an important hormone known as HGH (Human Growth Hormone). The reduction of HGH, which regulates levels of other hormones in the body (including testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, and melatonin) is directly responsible for many of the most common signs of growing old, such as wrinkles, gray hair, decreased energy, and diminished sexual function. Human Growth Hormone will normally yield the following results: - Boost your immune system - Rejuvenate your body and mind - Feel & look younger - Reduce wrinkles, lose weight, decrease cellulite - Restore your sex drive and vigor - Revitalize your heart, liver, kidneys & lungs - Maintain muscle mass - Refresh memory, mood and mental energy - Sleep soundly and awake rested - Help eliminate stress, fatigue and depression http://ehcfimadgl.mentalnew.info/?bjkadglxwqowyehzhghcfim

Vegas in March ..] They are fun to see, and I don't think they have a problem with photographs. Their web page is at www.att.com/ndr/ and most of the good pictures are under "Deployments". They do quarterly exercises around the US, which include a certain amount of showing them to tourists (i.e. the sales people get to bring in customers to see the cool stuff, along with running seminars about why you need to buy more telecom to support your business disaster recovery needs.)

Identity is Hard, Let's go Shopping
by coderman 04 Mar '06

http://www.emergentchaos.com/archives/2006/03/identity_is_hard_lets_go.html """ (Posted by adam) Kim Cameron... says: "In my view, the identity problem is one of the hardest problems computer science has ever faced." I think this is true, and I'd like to tackle why that is. I'm going to do that in a couple of blog posts, because I think the subject is broad and complex, and I'd like to offer some perspectives into that chaos. I've been saying for a while that people like to pay for privacy, when they understand what the threat to their privacy is, and how the solution works. Thus, they buy curtains. Curtains work very well to enhance privacy by stopping passers-by from looking through your windows. Another part of that talk is that privacy means a lot of different things to people, ranging from 'the right to be left alone' to 'informational self-determination' to 'abortion.' I believe that identity displays very similar properties in how widely the term is used. Identity is a problem because it means so many different things about who we are, and how we perceive ourselves, others, and our relationships with them. Identity also entails a set of business relationships, and the experiences and reliance that entities embed into those relationships. Finally, identity entails a set of government relationships, some of which are about citizenship, or various sorts of temporary presence or exclusion, or moneys flowing to or from the government. Sometimes, these relationships overlap in various ways. This relates to Zooko's "Decentralized, Secure, Human-Meaningful" triangle. Zooko looks at the digital systems for dealing with identifiers, and the properties those identifiers can have. I want to start from the variety of relationships, and the way people think about the relationships, then move to identifiers. Replacing the actual relationship with a digital identifier often creates issues, because the two differ. As we encode various forms of identity onto computers, we make choices about identifiers and representations. Some of these choices are now such second nature that actually listing the details them seems bizarre: "My mail client sends a message to alice(a)example.com"* vs "I send mail to mom." We have internalized the idea that an email address is a good identifier for a person. We tend to internalize these representations fairly easily, even when its not a good idea. "123-45-6789 applied for this credit card," that must be Alice Example. I'll talk more about the issues of assigning trust or reliance to identifiers, rather than people, in another post. """
