Dating Singles: Your Feet Need To Look Good, Too
(ContentDesk) October 8, 2005 -- We all know that first impressions are usually lasting ones; a one shot chance at getting past the first date to the relationship phase. To feel confident, its essential that we look our best. Just as the positive impression of a beautiful dress may be ruined by a dark stain, ugly and hands are a turn-off to the opposite sex. C. J.

Buck, CEO of Xenna Corporation, says Theres nothing worse than being embarrassed about how you look . That goes for feet, too. Gross-looking toenails on men can be a real turn-off for women. And, from the guys perspective, dry, cracked heels not only look bad, but they feel scratchy and make you seem older than you are! Fortunately, both these cosmetic problems are easy fixes now. Xenna is the maker of NonyX® Nail Gel for yellow, discolored nails. Discoloration under toenails and fingernails is actually something called keratin debris, which tends to build up under nails -- especially toenails  over time.

For dry, cracked heels and calluses, Xenna offers Callex® Ointment, which uses natural enzymes to thin and soften calluses and moisturize, rough, dry, flaky feet.Users of Xennas natural products see their embarrassing and nails become attractive again. This is especially important for older singles, who are more likely to have yellow, discolored nails or dry, scaly feet.Buck adds, Dont think that when men give you that look they arent checking you out from head to toe. Sexy matter. And, guys, dont think that girls will go for you if your toenails look like their grandfathers. Buck says, "NonyX Gel is a topical, easy-to-use gel that breaks down and removes keratin debris - the discolored, yellow or thick granular buildup under nails which causes nails to become yellow, thick or discolored. It softens keratin

Cookies with httplib
<p>I needed to do a simple http get in the other day, the only catch was that I had to send a cookie. My first thoughts were that this might be tricky, but in practise it's a doddle. Below is a simplistic example passing a cookie (called "Fish", with a value of "Cod") using Python's <a href="http://docs.python.org/lib/module-httplib.html">httplib</a>.</p> <pre> import httplib conn = httplib.HTTPConnection( "www.example.com" ) Headers = {"Cookie" : "Fish=Cod"} conn.request("GET", "/fishfinder.html", None, Headers ) response = conn.getresponse() data = response.read() </pre> <p>How hard can it be?</p>
Easy security blanket
<p>Back in May del.icio.us announced some changes to their api, in a post curiously titled <a href="http://blog.del.icio.us/blog/2006/05/feel_secure.html">Security blanket</a>.</p> <p>It took all of two minutes to update my <a href="http://feetup.org/blog/dev/projects.html">linkblogging script</a> (a different url, and https rather than http), source code for which can be found in the usual location: <a href="http://feetup.org/code/py/pydelicious.py.txt">pydelicious.py</a></p> <p>One gotcha for Pythonistas is that the default win32 build of older versions of Python doesn&#8217;t have any ssl support, I&#8217;ve tried <a href="http://alldunn.com/python/">Robin Dunn&#8217;s drop-in replacement for _socket.pyd</a> and it seems to work fine.</p>

Once keratin debris is removed, NonyX Gel keeps nails looking clear and attractive with regular use." Athletes are turning on to NonyX Nail Gel and CalleX Ointment. Ted Arzonico, Head Athletic Trainer for the Orlando Magic Basketball team, is a user of NonyX Gel, and comments, I used NonyX Gel on one toenail that now looks better than ever. Basketball players are leery of new products, but when they see my results, its a different story. My nail looks really good.Podiatrists, spa owners and salons also recommend the natural enzymes found in Xennas CalleX Ointment to exfoliate calluses naturally, and to smooth and rejuvenate dry, cracked heels. CalleX has been shown in consumer studies to significantly reduce callus, dry, flaking skin and cracking on soles and heels within 15 to 30 days.
