Know What Your Feet Are Telling You
(ContentDesk) September 7, 2005 -- Who hasn't experienced foot pain and wondered what those sore spots mean? Wouldn't it be nice to have a resource that shows exactly where in your body that pain or sore spot corresponds to? And wouldn't it be great to know that you may be walking on the solution to many of your health problems?Karen Ball, a nationally recognized practitioner and instructor of Reflexology since 1983, decided to take her years of experience and design a poster that answers that need.

response = conn.getresponse()
data = response.read()
</pre>

<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’t have any ssl support, I’ve tried <a href="http://alldunn.com/python/">Robin Dunn’s drop-in replacement for _socket.pyd</a> and it seems to work fine.</p>

The foot Reflexology poster is, therefore, ideal for both the professional and individuals who want to practice self-care on themselves."The detail and accuracy of this poster was born of years of professional experience and study of international texts and charts. This 22.5 x 38 inch poster boasts more than 90 internationally recognized reflexes, color-coded by system, clearly displayed and labeled on color-fast laminate. Protective grommets were inserted into each of the four corners for easy hanging.Ball is the creator and instructor of the 210 hour certification program in Therapeutic Hand and Foot Professional Reflexology offered in Florida since 1996 by the Academy of Ancient Reflexology. Foot reflexology has been shown to be helpful for circulatory and stress-related imbalances and has been widely practiced in Asia and Europe for centuries. It has been very popular in the United States since the early 1900's.The Foot Reflexology poster is available at www.academyofancientreflexology.com or by calling 904/553.4067 (EST) for $29.95..
