We're not the same person you know...
Now running an Eleven Rack with Pro Tools 10.3.3 - it's amazing and I'm having ball with it - worth every penny. PT 10 is tops IMO and the Eleven Rack is a work of art!

Hi Guys n Girls,
We now have our Very Own Browser for The Stash & Remember all OUR amps are Free & created by users of headcase for users of headcase.
Inside the Zip you will find small file named Vas.Browser.V.2.0.hta
please copy the file to your installed headcase/UserScripts folder, once installed in the UserScripts folder double click on the file to launch
the browser checks to find out what amps you have installed so you are not installing multiple copys of the same amp
Categorys can be chosen from the drop down menu on the left or you can chose to goto the stash or ampskindesigns from the buttons
when you find an amp you would like to try select the install button

Thanks Lockwolf.. thats an awesome compliment...
We will be making one more addition to head case before we finally release, its a last minute type of thing, but Amit, The writer of that fantastic browser totally convinced me we need it..
We will be adding a button to launch and install third party developments from inside head case. Think of them as plugin apps for it that do specific things. Like the browser. There are more apps on the way as well, Like apps that allow you to take a set of curves and automatically generate every iteration possible in the poweramp, gain stage, etc..
Whatever any one with vbscript or Java script coding can think of, will be able to create an app and communicate with head case. There is also a scripting preprocessor command language built into head case to make it really simple to code plugin apps..
We called the commands BUC Commands and every parameter in the head case is available as a command. In fact, in some cases you don't even need to use any other commands other than BUC to get things accomplished.
Need a dispenser here!

Have I ever mentioned you guys are legends?
You guys are legends.
What's the plan for the free/paid versions on release then (restrictions, included content etc)?
Are you guys going to do some PR or are you going by word-of-mouth? I think Reddit would be very appreciative of your efforts, and that can be a force to be reckoned with.
Seriously, this whole 'download this JPG to install the amp' is nothing short of a masterstroke. I've been testing your software since the early Shred Suite but this is a huge step in making guitar software intuitive and fun.
You should have a 'made with Headcase' section on your site to showcase some professionally-produced songs that use your amps, I'd be happy to contribute.

Location: there ain't no doubt in my mind, i'm gonna stomp all over your test of time.
any way i can use this on a pc without the 'net and still download all the heads?
edit: upon reading instructions it appears i can, kudos!
ok i feel like a bit of a tard. i can't figure out how to load the different heads. i got the jpg's i used the installer to install them but when i open headcase as a vst i'm not finding anything to load the heads. i saw the button file operations, clicked it and got nothing on the head builder (which i'm assuming is what i need to use to load the different heads up)

Yes we saw how many problems were created by another company that is doing a web based head download and figured we'd shy away from that. However, they are charging for everything so I suppose they needed to verify information and what not, so thats why they require a web connection. These are just JPEG images that need no verification to install.. As simple as displaying an image...
Something else to note thats kind of cool. Just the mere fact that you are seeing the head on your screen means it has already been downloaded as all components of the head exist inside the JPEG... Usually browsers store images in a temp location called a cache.The JPEG images that your browswer has stored in the cache can also be installed the same way as if you right clicked and went save as.
Head Case LITE creates a the following path where it stores the heads..
(Your selected install folder)\AcmeBarGig\HeadCase\Heads\Builds\HeadCaseLite
Your selected install folder is the folder that you chose to install head case too.
Check in there to ensure there are heads, and also note there is a 5 head limit in the interface for head case lite..
If you have no heads in there, then check the write permission to that folder. It should already be set, but just check again to be sure..
Also, click the file operations again and see if its a refresh issue..
Let us know how you make out..

I figured it out. The vst was loading on my main moniter which is a lcd tv, once i dragged it over to my 2nd moniter which is an actual pc moniter the resolution was high enough for me to see the continue button. I had thought i was stuck on the "this is a 30 day trial" forever
Anyway to uninstall heads other than manually deleting them? I downloaded a bunch of heads and would like to try them out but understand the limit on availability.

Well, ABG as a company does not do models per se, more than we do tones. The Honken is the type of tone you are describing. I want to get to building it, but I'm so freaking locked into other stuff right now I can't..

haha Nice..
I didn't see that coming, I was gearing up for an investigative nightmare...
edit: Sorry Man I missed your question about the uninstall..
Yes, upon installation head case auto generates a vbscript for uninstalling. If you go to the file operatiions in the builder, or select head in the suite, you'll see an uninstall head button. Just sselect the head you want to uninstall and click the uninstall button..

Head Case LITE will be released almost identical to what you have now, except it will support third party plugins and a new unencrypted programming interface that enables the third party plugins. It will not come with heads, that will be up to the user to download from ampstash, forum postings, or the Head Case Asylum, which will be Head Case's official home. For the time being, the 5 head limit will remain in effect, frankly though, we're really not sure what we're going to do with that..We're still talking about it...
There will be no copy protection, as always. on either the LITE version or the COMPLETE version. Head Case LITE will not come with Software download priviledges at the Asylum. You would only be able to download heads, and head components from the Asylum. Updates will be done through email for the LITE version whereas, purchasing the complete version, opens you up to new betas of head case and other products posted at the ASYLUM...
Head Case lite comes with Head Case suite, and Head Case Builder only. There will also be unsupported stand alone Executable files as well.
The price for Head Case LITE will probably be around 45 dollars..
Head Case COMPLETE Comes with...
A stand alone head called The Loner.
(Thats an old screen shot BTW, it looks a little different now)
This head runs like any of the freeware heads you can download like our Series 60 for example, It has the two Overdrive stomps built in as well as the noise gate and the limiter. This is used if say for example you wanted to use KeFir as your cab plugin instead of the built in cabs from head case. It allows you to take a more modular approach to designing your effects chain.
Consolidated Cabs
This is the cab section in Head Case complete separated as a stand alone VST plugin. It comes with Mimi Cabs, Filter Cabs, and iFace. Stand alone VST plugs of Mimic, Filter Cabs, and iFace will also be made available at the Asylum after you have posted five head creations...However, there's a bonus to those versions above just their intended use as cab plugs. They have the ability to make new IR cab files of your settings!
Head Case Effects Rack
The head case effects rack from the suite is also included in head case complete. Stand alone versions of each of these effects will also be made available at the asylum as well. Although we have no time frame for when this is going to happen. Right nopw, the entire effects rack will be included.
The unlimited Head Case Suite and the Unlimited Hed Case Builder will also be included..
The price on this will be around 65 dollars...
We have never tried to be an in your face heavy marketting type company. If we do pay for ads, they will only be at the forums where we ran the beta tests as a show of support to those communities, but, other than that, ABG has never paid for advertisements in the past, and its unlikely that we will be for head case either. We are not your average company in terms of trying to maximize sales, our users know that when they buy something from us, their payment goes to creating more freeware, and performing research into creating better and new approaches to things that we all share a common interest in. Like Guitar..
Further to that, I think the last thing the world needs is another Marketting company disguised as an audio plugin company, so we're quite conservative on the whole advertising question.
You know, I can't tell you how much more interesting guitar playing has become for me since I started developing heads and sharing them. An elite few get to experience that, and even better get share their source code with one another to expand on each others ideas. We wanted to bring that experience to everyone, and thats the main goal of head case.
One person makes an amp, someone else says I really like it, but, I would like more lows in the poweramp, so they in turn edit the file and make it their own. Someone else gets the file and says, you know, A little more poweramp distortion would be nice in there. They edit it and so..In about six iterations you have a completely new sound that has gone through six guitarists all adding their own flare to a head.
So, the JPEG distribution mechanism, (called Freud the head shrinker) allows an easy way to facilitate the distribution and sharing of heads between users. This is only goijng to get better because In version 1.8 of head case, we will be rolling our scripted filters. So that now means you can use VBSCRIPT or JAVASCRIPT to create the filters used in your tonestack, stomps, anywhere there is a filter. It makes an decent platform for those who want to know more about filters, to get their feet wet.
Its coming..
I also want to clarify something as well to make sure I'm clear. You won't need a membership at The Asylum to get access, almost all content there will be available to non members, the only content that will not be available to non members is the executable downloads. That will be reserved for Head Case complete purchasers.
We are really trying to get the head case complete version sold as opposed to the LITE version, however, for some they will really only want the suite and will probably never use the builder, so we needed an option for them as well. Hence why the price difference is only 20 dollars. Head Case lite is essentially an after thought created in order to serve these customers..

Nice work on those!!!
I just wanted to leave some more info on the pending release and let you know what we're testing and how we've made out..
Initially we were not going to provide very much access to the BUC scripts commands, or the scripting in general, however seeing the amazing work Amit Talwar has done with a the third party apps interface, we just had to release with it enabled. Most of the framework for third party apps in head case was already written about 7 months ago, but as I say, we were saving that for after the commercial release. So, since it was already there, all it needed was a couple small additions, and some tweaking, we decided that we really need to release this intact.
I am going to give you a quick run down on it and how it works..I'll try and keep it short..
BUC is a script preprocessor that has 580 functions/commands that are specific to head case. Now when I say preprocessor, what I mean is that BUC first processes the script, and then it gets sent out to the script interpreter, in this case, its the Windows Scripting Host. For those of you who know Jscript, or VBScript, the learning curve will be relatively easy. You don't really need to learn many commands, as each BUC command is named after the parameters.
For example, lets say that you wanted to change the skin in a head through code..
The parameter that head case uses to determine the skin is DISTRIB-22-HeadSkin
If you were using VBScript, to return the current filename used for the head skin, you would use..
X = @DISTRIB-22-HeadSkin;
The @DISTRIB-22-HeadSkin; command returns the value to you in your script and stores it in the X variable.
To change the value in script, all you would do is this.
Every parameter in the head is supported through BUC, There are also some other specialty commands as well, like the sand box functions. These allow your script to make changes to the head and then allow the user to preview the changes. They can test the changes, and decide whether to keep them, or discard them. We can get into them at a later time. The important thing here is that this adds an incredible amount of flexibility. I don't know how many times people have said to us, "It would be great if there was a command to do this... " Well now, with a little bit of scripting knowledge, and the use of BUC, not only can you make your own heads, but you can also make your own specialized commands for head case.
I should also point out that BUC runs invisibly, you don't have to do anything special to access its 580 head case specific commands. You just need to add your script/HTA and when you run it from within head case, BUC jumps in and does its thing..
Anyways, here is the screen shots of HCB 1.54
This is the app manager, this application allows you to setup your head case apps. It does two things, it tells BUC to grab hold of the script/hta, and it also makes the commands/apps available from within the head case software.
This shows how the apps are selected in head case. The graphics may change, as this is only te Alpha for these functions.
This image shows the sand box preview dialog.
The running script must issue a @UseSandBox; command, and it can be anywhere in the script. That tells BUC to route any head changes to the sandbox. In other words it will not write the changes to the currently loaded head, but will write it to another file. To show the Sand Box Dialog in Head Case, you simply place a @ShowSandBoxDialog; command anywhere in the script. When the script completes Head case will display the above dialog allowing your users to decide if they like the changes..
So, thats where we're at, this will be released to the prepurchasers hopefully by tomorrow, Amit and I have some more testing and tweaking to do yet, but so far so good. I would expect an update to the current testing beta to be out by early next week.. Maybe over the weekend..
Thanks for reading

text: Multi-billion quantum UK market will have us seeing through walls Science 15 May 14 by Liat Clark Teams of academics are working all across the UK to deliver the most accurate GPS-free navigation and time-keeping systems known to man using quantum physics -- and they believe its just a few years away from being a reality. The Ministry of Defence's (MOD) Defence Science and Technology Laboratory is presenting the progress so far made today in Teddington, where world leaders in the field -- all UK academics -- have gathered.Speaking at the event David Willetts, Universities and Science Minister said: "Quantum technologies have great potential to lead to profound benefits in many sectors including healthcare, communications and security. The UK has some world-class capabilities in this field." He pointed to the R&D investment of £270m announced by the Chancellor in last year's Autumn Statement, to be delivered over five years. This will go a significant way towards realising the five-year target members of the MOD believe is realistic to see a GPS-free super accurate quantum navigation system.Progress on show at Teddington include an ion microchip that will be used in more compact atomic clocks (from the National Physical Laboratory), the world's first portable optical clock (from the University of Birmingham), graphene atomic chips (from the University of Nottingham, to be used in more accurate gyroscopes) and a table-top atom interferometer to provide location data at depth for submarines.It's an incredible array of research, and the applications are wide ranging. Don't miss NSA working on building an encryption-busting quantum computer "We're now coming into the period in which quantum is becoming ripe for exploitation," Neil Stansfield, Head of Knowledge, Innovation, and Futures Enterprise at the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (a trading fund of the MOD's), told Wired.co.uk. "It's much nearer and much more predictable."Stansfield tells us the MOD has a specific interest in building upon four areas in quantum physics, communication, sensing, computing and timing -- "particularly as it leads to navigation capabilities". All of these obviously have uses in the military sector. But the focus is on generating technologies that have the potential to be universally useful in the consumer sector -- just as GPS came out of army research and is today embedded in every smartphone."Arguably the most advanced and closest to market are designs in the communications area," said Stansfield. "Next is timing. I believe we're 18 months away from exploiting quantum physics in communications. Timing is beyond that in a three, four or five-year time frame for demonstrating. The first functional navigation equipment is five years away."There is a real drive to remain a leader in this sector, and Stansfield explains how the MOD has been working in conjunction with regional research councils and universities. So often red tape or a lack of unified purpose holds back research. But here, everyone appears to agree -- the UK is going to be a world leader in the production of quantum technologies.For a quick rundown of how these timing and positioning technologies work, for a layperson, Stansfield tells Wired.co.uk to imagine a small box that is a complete vacuum. Then stick between a million and a hundred million atoms in it. They will be racing around at the speed of a jet plane in there, but shine a laser on them and that will interact with the atoms and slow them down. They'll be moving at a few millimetres a second. Then you let them go and they will interact with the environment round them, says Stansfield, as gravity makes them move. Then you freeze them, and measure the change in motion and interactions with the forces. "That tells you what they're looking for -- how far they've moved."There's a huge amount of research that is going on to make the theory a reality. For instance, in making a perfect vacuum, or the electronic chips that we will be able to put the systems on."We think we understand a lot of the physics," explains Bob Cockshott, an expert on positioning, timing and navigation technology at the National Physical Laboratory. "Now it's an engineering problem." If there's a chance of making these technologies widely popular, engineering obstacles need to be overcome to that mass production is possible. "If you can do that the rewards are eye watering," says Cockshott. "Creating low-powered portable devices to make this stuff fit in something that could be commercialised is one of purposes of this event -- to get industry enthused, as well as the MOD." The Technology Strategy Board is also due to come onboard to stimulate interest in the research and development industry.But what will this mean for industry -- what kind of things can we revolutionise with this tech? Well for one thing, we'll be able to see through walls easily."A lot of the work we're doing looking at timing also opens up the potential to produce new sensors," says Stansfield. "A way of measuring or sensing changes in gravity. This allows you to see through things by profiling the gravitational effects as you move deeper -- so if you look at a wall, you could see beyond and through the wall."Essentially, you are using the quantum effect to detect the different gravitational effects on different objects, to work out what they are. So if you looked down at the ground, below the soil there might be a pool of water, then more soil, then rocks."If you used our sensor, you'd see air, then soil, then the water would have a greater gravitational effect -- it would be different where the air meets water, from where the water meets soil." For above ground, this could mean locating people, vehicles and weapons. Below ground it has huge benefits to the energy exploration industry. Rather than using ground penetrating radar, where the signal degrades quickly the deeper it goes, the gravity sensor would not degrade and could be used to look for sink holes, oil deposits and more.More accurate and portable clocks would be hugely beneficial to the military -- for instance, expensive highly accurate clocks or GPS can be quite easily disturbed either through nefarious means or accidental interference. If we didn't have to rely on GPS, it would be safer and could be used underwater. Of course there will be plenty of applications in the real world -- within buildings GPS signals can fail.Although Cockshott ensures us the main purpose of the research is for commercial purposes, not military, being able to avoid tampering with vital services will surely be a priority. GPS-guided missiles, for instance, would be protected with this tech. And though Cockshott pointed to uses in the financial services industry, disruption in even this sector could become a play for terrorists where milliseconds effect trading in the billions. "This is all very much like GPS," says Cockshott. "That started out as a military system and was eye wateringly expensive -- hundreds of thousands. Now the chip is $2 and there's one in every smartphone. With that trajectory in mind, it's a tremendous game changer." Latest on wired.co.uk

Dr. Nathan Hess, School of Music, presented a lecture-recital at the CMS Northeast Regional Conference at SUNY Potsdam on April 5 titled "Ned Rorem's Recalling (2003) for Solo Piano: An Examination of Compositional Style and Influences." The talk highlighted the unique features that tie together all three movements of the work, including the direct influences from composer/author Paul Bowles. The presentation concluded with a live performance of Recalling.
In February, Dr. Hess was invited to perform his "American Masters" solo program at the Phelps Mansion Museum in Binghamton as part of its Second Sunday Concert Series. The recital consisted of contemporary works by John Corigliano, Ned Rorem, George Perle, and Samuel Barber.
He performed his "American Masters" program again in mid-March at Morgan State University in Baltimore, MD, where he also taught a solo piano masterclass. In late March he traveled to Stroudsburg, PA, to present a solo masterclass to local pre-college students, ages 11 to 18. The event was sponsored by Stroudsburg teachers of National Federation of Music Clubs. He ended March with a trip to West Chester University of Pennsylvania, where he presented a solo piano masterclass and also performed a duo recital consisting of sonatas by Dvorak and Richard Strauss with violin professor Sylvia Ahramjian.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Ramiro Pena hit a two-run homer off Craig Stammen with two outs in the 10th inning and the Atlanta Braves came back to beat the Washington Nationals 6-4 Friday night, stretching their winning streak to seven games.
Pena, who reached on a bunt as a pinch hitter in the eighth, helped Atlanta finish off a rally in a game it trailed 4-0 after two innings and 4-2 entering the ninth.
Eric O'Flaherty (2-0) pitched a 1-2-3 ninth for the win, while Craig Kimbrel retired the heart of Washington's order for his fifth save in five chances.
With one out in the 10th, Stammen (2-1) walked Dan Uggla. After a flyout, Pena hit his first homer of the season.
The Braves, a major league-leading 9-1, handed Washington its first loss in seven home games.

KC area diocese buys historic downtown KC building
Sunday, October 3, 2010
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) -- The Catholic Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph has bought a historic building in downtown Kansas City.
The diocese bought The New York Life Building, Kansas City's oldest skyscraper, which opened in 1890. The Kansas City Star reports that the sale price was $11.7 million.
The diocese will use the building for its administrative offices and for Catholic Charities.
The diocese includes 135,000 Catholics living in 27 counties in west and northwest Missouri.
The property was sold by Kansas City Power & Light Co. The building, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, had been empty since 2007.

So you wanna be a hipster, huh?
Well saddle up guys, because it turns out that not only are your Tio Pancho's mustache and free t-shirts so 'ironic,' the hipsters are also invading the barrio.
So drop those vowels, cut words shorts at whim, and wipe your Clark Kent glasses and let's visit the places that the Latino character uses to take the White character in the movie for a 'real' experience away from his/her sheltered life.
Here is an example from Thrillist
La Cuevita
"Cómo se dice "holy effing crap" en espanol?
Finally open for realzies tomorrow, La Cuevita's a new, eye-boner-ing tequila bar in Highland Park (from the dudes who brought you Thirsty Crow and Oldfield's) that's been scrupulously designed to look like a drinkery from a 1930s Mexican grotto — so don't be surprised to see El Hef-e.
Helping with the look're 100yr-old church doors, tables made of salvaged wood and marble, Dia de los Muertos-style paintings, and a massive bar atop what look like (but sadly aren't) bricks dug out of the catacombs from Last Crusade — rats! There's obviously tequila and mezcal aplenty (70+ varietals and counting), but they'll also do tipples like the Mezcalada (w/ poblano peppers, clamato, beer & house-smoked salt), the Pinaleta (rum, mezcal, cayenne, pineapple syrup, passionfruit juice & lime), and the rye-forward Mole Manhattan, which's spiced with hellfire bitters and chocolate chili, also what T-Boz says whenever Rozonda's all "Yo, so I've got marshmallows and graham crackers, what else do we need to make these s'mores happen?"
To celebrate Cinco, they've got $2 beers and free tacos tomorrow and Saturday, plus the first 50 people to mention Thrillist also get a $2 shot of tequila, which's so cheap, it's got to be Barely Legal."
So after you've thrown back a few La Victorias you don't head to Del Taco, as-if, here are the top tacos in town:
10. Tacos Por Favor
9. El Atacor #11
8. La Flor de Yucatan
7. Tacos Baja Ensenada
6. Los Cinco Puntos
5. Marisco's Jalisco
4. Tacos Leo
3. Mexicali Tacos & Co.
2. Ricky's Fish Tacos
1. Guisados
Be brave out there in the barrio.
Next trend, tattoo removal clinics for those sleeves.

With consistent warm weather, Trinidad and Tobago is pleasant year-round. The most popular times are during the holiday season in December, Carnival in February, and the summer months when natives living abroad return to visit the island. Other times are less busy, but can offer lower prices.
- high season: December, February, June to August
- low season: March to May, January, September to November
Weather Information
Trinidad and Tobago's weather is generally pleasant year-round with two main seasons: a dry season that runs from January through May, and a wet or rainy season from June through December. Daytime temperatures average 82 degrees with little humidity, while nights are cooler. The dry season is mostly sunny, with occasional light showers, making it ideal for vacationing.
It rains considerably from June through October, which is the least favorable time to visit. However, rain typically falls only during the afternoon, while mornings are usually sunny and nights are fair. Also, during mid-September to mid-October, rainfall can be interrupted by stretches of sunshine, a climatic phenomenon referred to as Petit Carême. Hurricane season does not affect Trinidad and Tobago, as the islands technically lie outside the hurricane belt.
Crowd Information
Trinidad and Tobago experiences more crowds during the summer high season. Carnival and Christmas are also busy.
Closure Information
Hotels, shops, and other venues remain open year-round.
When to Save
Airfare and accommodations prices are higher for travel during Carnival and Christmas. The low season is the cheapest.
When to Book
Book up to a year in advance for travel during Christmas, Carnival, or summer.

Preservationists want warning before Habitat seeks to raze old homes
Thursday, January 12, 2012
Several properties have been donated to River City Habitat for Humanity recently.
After assessing the cost-effectiveness of meeting their mission through rehabilitation, the local not-for-profit targeted three to be razed for a new build.
At the city's Historic Preservation Commission meeting Tuesday, Habitat officials were asked if the historic preservation panel could be notified in the future before Habitat applies to have a building demolished.
Kelly Smith, Habitat executive director, and Kyle Kittrell, construction manager, discussed Habitat's evaluation process.

lens management
Expanding the Candidate Pool
Silicone hydrogels have tremendous appeal, so don't niche them.
The most obvious candidates for a
hyper-Dk/t lens are the patients who ask for "that 30-day lens" they saw advertised, or the ones who say they're already sleeping in their lenses. But if you're only moving the obvious candidates into CIBA Vision's Focus Night & Day lens, then you're limiting this incredible new technology to a narrow niche.
Broaden your horizons
I trial fit almost every extended or flexible wear patient with Night & Day. With six times greater oxygen transmissibility than ordinary
low-Dk one-to-two week/monthly disposable lenses, and as the only lens available that exceeds the 125
Dk/t minimum threshold needed to avoid corneal acidosis, there's no better choice for patients who want to sleep in their lenses. I've seen studies showing that 70% of patients would like the convenience of overnight wear -- if they can do so with little risk.
Here's another plus
When upgrading patients from
low-Dk one- to two-week/monthly disposable lenses into Night & Day, explain that their prescription may change as a result of the increased oxygen flow to the cornea. One of my patients had a 2.00D reduction in myopia, and a 1.00D shift isn't uncommon. Telling patients this same shift would have occurred if they stopped wearing lenses altogether reinforces why this lens is better for their eyes.
CIBA's Night & Days appeal to almost every
hyperope, the author found.
Hyperopes rejoice
I now trial fit every
hyperope, whether a daily wear or continuous wear lens wearer, with Night & Day. This was a category I'd initially overlooked, but I tried the lens with patients who complained of end-of-day discomfort or dryness. The results were so dramatic that I began telling more
hyperopes, "My far-sighted patients are saying this lens is so much more comfortable at the end of the day and that their vision is so much better, I want you to try it too." About 95% upgrade to Night & Day.
Continuous wear hyperopes are nearly ecstatic with this lens. I particularly encourage continuous wear for monovision patients because they tend to be more satisfied than daily wear monovision patients. Daily wear patients who wear bifocals or glasses in the evenings have regular experiences with binocular vision. Continuous wear patients don't have their binocular vision to compare it to, making for a smoother transition.
Don't forget these candidates
While I recommend a trial fitting for every hyperopic patient, I don't necessarily do the same with myopic daily wear lens wearers. However -- and this is a big caveat -- if these wearers complain of blurred vision at the end of the day, dryness or other comfort problems, then I'll recommend Night & Day.
I've switched every post-refractive surgery patient in soft contact lenses to Night & Day lenses, and all piggyback keratoconic fits. I've also been fitting my recurrent corneal erosion patients with plano Night & Day bandage contact lenses.
Look for broadest range
As you can see, my candidate pool for silicone hydrogel patients goes far beyond the ones who come in asking for it specifically. Night & Day
hyper-Dk/t lenses have tremendous advantages in terms of convenience, comfort and overall eye health. Determine which characteristic will most appeal to each group of patients and tailor your presentation accordingly.

DuBois presents "A Candlelight Prayer Vigil for Our Nation"
at Andrew Rankin Memorial Chapel
Washington (October 28, 2013) – The Office of the Dean of the Chapel and the Friends of the Andrew Rankin Memorial Chapel will present A Candlelight Prayer Vigil for Our Nation, featuring Joshua DuBois, President Obama's former faith adviser, on Sunday, Nov. 10, at 4:00 p.m. in the historic Andrew Rankin Memorial Chapel on the campus of Howard University.
DuBois is the former special assistant to President Obama and executive director of the White House Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships. The theme for this year's event is Renewing the Fabric of our Faith - Renewing the Spiritual Fabric for our Times.
DuBois helped direct the Obama administration's engagement of faith-based and other nonprofit organizations around the country. One of President Obama's longest serving aides, DuBois previously served in then-Sen. Obama's legislative office, and he led the Religious Affairs Department for the 2008 Obama presidential campaign. DuBois is an expert on the intersection of religion and public life, and his work has been profiled in The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, CNN and elsewhere. He came to the Obama world after working on Capitol Hill, and was an associate pastor at a small church in Cambridge, MA. He received a Masters in Public Affairs from Princeton University's Woodrow Wilson School and a bachelor's degree from Boston University. DuBois was raised in Nashville.
The vigil has been held since 2008 to bring the Howard community together in prayer for our nation and its leaders. The areas of concern this year are social justice, responsive leadership and support for those most vulnerable among us. Students, faculty, alumni and staff are invited to attend to address these issues in their respective communities.
"This is a significant and timely event and marks the fifth year of the community engaging in unified pray for our nation and for our national leaders," said Dr. Valerie Maholmes, chair of the Friends of the Chapel. "This event is a catalyst that affirms Dean (Bernard) Richardson's vision of the Chapel's outreach of deeper in faith - wider in community."
This event is free and open to the public. For more information contact the Chapel Office at 202-806-7280.
About the Chapel
Built during the presidency of Jeremiah Rankin (1890-1903), Andrew Rankin Memorial Chapel was constructed in 1894-95 and was dedicated in 1896. The Chapel was named after Jeremiah Rankin's brother Andrew, whose widow contributed $5,000 to the building fund. Today, the Chapel is the center of religious life and religious affairs for the University and is dedicated to fulfilling the spiritual and religious needs of the Howard University community. Through the Office of the Dean of the Chapel and the Spiritual and Ethical Dimensions of Leadership Initiative, the Chapel seeks: to provide religious instruction and promote interfaith dialogue and cooperation; to deepen understanding and respect for diverse faiths; to establish occasions for religious expression; to nurture diverse faith traditions; and to affirm and strengthen linkages between faith communities and all people of good will. Additionally, the Office leads the University's commitment to preserve and celebrate the African-American spiritual and religious heritage which forms the cornerstone of the historic legacy of the Andrew Rankin Memorial Chapel.
About the Friends
The Friends of the Andrew Rankin Memorial Chapel was organized on September 5, 1982 by Mrs. Esther G. Pollard at the request of Howard University President Dr. James E. Cheek. The goal of the organization was to foster and encourage the mission of the Chapel, its campus ministries and outreach, as well as to act in a support capacity to the Dean of the Chapel.
Mr. Paul C. Johnson, III was elected the first Chair of the Friends of the Chapel in 1983. The initial event of the Friends was the 25th Anniversary celebration of Dr. Evans E. Crawford, Dean of the Chapel. Under Mr. Johnson's leadership the Friends inaugurated the Ethical Forums, which served as an open and critical dialogue on pressing and controversial issues facing the world community and the ethical responses to those issues. Mr. Johnson served until 1993.
Dr. Shirley Graham Evans assumed the chair and greatly expanded the Friends' mission. A fund-raising activity for the yearlong Centennial Celebration of the Andrew Rankin Memorial Chapel, co-chaired by Dr. Estelle W. Taylor, was initiated and culminated in the stained glass window, designed and installed by Mr. Ron Akili Anderson, with the assistance of the Friends. The window depicts the first three Deans of the Chapel: Dr. Howard W. Thurman, Dr. Daniel G. Hill and Dr. Evans E. Crawford.
Mrs. Anita Moore-Hackney became chair in 1998 and reinstated the Sundays at the Chapel programs, which included the Centennial Celebration of Duke Ellington in collaboration with the Division of Music in the College of Arts and Sciences. Mrs. Hackney served until 2005.
Dr. Donna Grant Mills was elected in the 2005-2006 academic year and assumed the leadership role until 2008 and continued the legacies of her predecessors with emphasis on the Sundays at the Chapel programs.
Dr. Jackie L. Williams served as Chair of the Friends of the Chapel during the 2008-2010 academic years and under her skillful leadership the Friends crafted a Comprehensive Strategic Plan which focused on increasing membership and building partnerships.
Founded in 1867, Howard University is a private, research university that is comprised of 13 schools and colleges. Students pursue studies in more than 120 areas leading to undergraduate, graduate and professional degrees. Since 1998, the University has produced two Rhodes Scholars, two Truman Scholars, a Marshall Scholar, 30 Fulbright Scholars and 11 Pickering Fellows. Howard also produces more on campus African-American Ph.D. recipients than any other university in the United States.

im pregnant with identical twins and the father doesn't decide weather you have multiples its your side that does the only thing the father decides is the babys sexposted 02/10/2014 by nlester83
My father is an identical twin and his mother( my grandmother) is also an identical twin. I also have a few generations prior that are identical twins including my cousins. I stopped my pills on 7/28 and took a test on 8/22 and it was positive! I have an overwhelming feeling that I am having twins. I know people say that only fraternal is hereditary but its hard to believe when I have SO many identical twins in my family. I don't thank this is a FLUKE and I feel that identical twins are very special. They of course are TRUE twins as they share the same DNA not just two eggs that happen to fall. I am having my ultra sound in a week and I secretly hope I am having twins. That was my grandmothers last wish before she passed away last year and it would be very special for me to have twins. I will send an update after my appointment to let you know if my suspicion is correct.posted 09/08/2013 by a BabyCenter Member
Between my husband & I we have 4 sets of fraternal twins in our family. My husband's mother is a fraternal twin and my father is a fraternal twin. My father's twin sister had fraternal twins and my father's brother also had a set of fraternal twins. I know the gene is supposed to skip a generation, but that is not the case with my family. I'm curious to hear any opinions on our situation. I am 30 and my husband is 28. I feel we have a pretty good chance to have twins... which makes us very excited.posted 08/31/2012 by ladycrum
No greater than anyone else's. Only the mother's side counts, and then only fraternal twins are heritable.posted 08/30/2012 by Aerin76
"Twins run on my FATHER'S side because the trait of hyperovulation (releasing multiple eggs) runs on that side. Almost every woman on my dad's side either has twins or their children do. My paternal grandmother had two sets of twins and a set of triplets. Twins don't skip generations and can come from either the maternal or paternal lines. We had this information confirmed by a genetic counselor when I got pregnant for the third time with twins. Due to the hyperovulation and my history the genetic counselor estimated that I have only about a 2% chance of ever having a singleton" Fraturnal twins DO skip a generation. You say its on your fathers side, that means his MOTHER had the gene. Making if you have a daughter, her daughters will have the gene. I've got a long line of fraturnal twins in my family and can pinpoint who had the gene. My fathers mother also had the gene, passing it to me. My brother can pass it to his daughter meaning it still skipped a generation.posted 02/15/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
fraturnal twins run on my mom's side of the family BIG time. Needless to say my female cousins and I all drop more than one egg each month (mind you I'm only 20) Identical twins are pure luck. Its when one egg splits. VictroiaHutch- My fiance' also says it's my fault we're having twins. I look at him and tell him that we wouldn't be having them if his sperm didn't fertalize both eggs!!posted 02/15/2012 by courtneyann211
Ok, explain this one then. Hubby is the great grandson of a twin, the nephew of twins and the brother of twins. NO TWINS in my family. I am now pregnant with twins. No fertility treatments. This will be baby four and five in one go.posted 12/02/2011 by Mammabearfiscus
If the women in your husband's family has a tendency to hyperovulate (release more than one egg at once, leading to twins), that has nothing to do with your chance at fraternal twins. Think about it: His sperm is not going to make you ovulate twice! It is your own genetics that influence that, not hisposted 11/10/2011 by JamieLynnHunter
chanwlaschin is exactly right!posted 11/10/2011 by a BabyCenter Member
If twins run on your husband's side of the family, your chance of having twins is the exact same as the rest of the population. Fraternal twins are genetic only if they are on your side though. Identical twins are a fluke. It just happens for no reason and is not genetically influencedposted 11/10/2011 by JamieLynnHunter

(NEWS CENTER) - Two men who had been missing since Friday were found safe Sunday evening.
Travis Hafford, from East Millinocket, and Ryan Stevens, from Millinocket, had left Friday morning to go hunting near Clayton and/or Chamberlain Lake.
They were supposed to return home that evening for dinner, but the men never showed.
A search was mounted and wardens looked on land and by air for Hafford and Stevens.
In the course of the search, they found a truck belonging to another man from Canada who had been reported missing.
Just before 6:00 PM Sunday, border agents involved in the search found Hafford and Stevens alive and well near Eagle Lake Township.
The Maine Warden Service says the truck the men were driving in may have become stuck, but the investigation remains open.

cpython-withatomic / Doc / library / urllib.request.rst
:mod:`urllib.request` --- Extensible library for opening URLs
The :mod:`urllib.request` module defines functions and classes which help in opening URLs (mostly HTTP) in a complex world --- basic and digest authentication, redirections, cookies and more.
The :mod:`urllib.request` module defines the following functions:
The following classes are provided:
This class is an abstraction of a URL request.
url should be a string containing a valid URL.
data may be a string specifying additional data to send to the server, or None if no such data is needed. Currently HTTP requests are the only ones that use data; the HTTP request will be a POST instead of a GET when the data parameter is provided. data should be a buffer in the standard :mimetype:`application/x-www-form-urlencoded` format. The :func:`urllib.parse.urlencode` function takes a mapping or sequence of 2-tuples and returns a string in this format.
headers should be a dictionary, and will be treated as if :meth:`add_header` was called with each key and value as arguments. This is often used to "spoof" the User-Agent header, which is used by a browser to identify itself -- some HTTP servers only allow requests coming from common browsers as opposed to scripts. For example, Mozilla Firefox may identify itself as "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686) Gecko/20071127 Firefox/18.104.22.168", while :mod:`urllib`'s default user agent string is "Python-urllib/2.6" (on Python 2.6).
The final two arguments are only of interest for correct handling of third-party HTTP cookies:
origin_req_host should be the request-host of the origin transaction, as defined by RFC 2965. It defaults to http.cookiejar.request_host(self). This is the host name or IP address of the original request that was initiated by the user. For example, if the request is for an image in an HTML document, this should be the request-host of the request for the page containing the image.
unverifiable should indicate whether the request is unverifiable, as defined by RFC 2965. It defaults to False. An unverifiable request is one whose URL the user did not have the option to approve. For example, if the request is for an image in an HTML document, and the user had no option to approve the automatic fetching of the image, this should be true.
The :class:`OpenerDirector` class opens URLs via :class:`BaseHandler`s chained together. It manages the chaining of handlers, and recovery from errors.
This is the base class for all registered handlers --- and handles only the simple mechanics of registration.
A class which defines a default handler for HTTP error responses; all responses are turned into :exc:`HTTPError` exceptions.
A class to handle redirections.
Cause requests to go through a proxy. If proxies is given, it must be a dictionary mapping protocol names to URLs of proxies. The default is to read the list of proxies from the environment variables :envvar:`<protocol>_proxy`. If no proxy environment variables are set, in a Windows environment, proxy settings are obtained from the registry's Internet Settings section and in a Mac OS X environment, proxy information is retrieved from the OS X System Configuration Framework.
To disable autodetected proxy pass an empty dictionary.
Keep a database of (realm, uri) -> (user, password) mappings.
Keep a database of (realm, uri) -> (user, password) mappings. A realm of None is considered a catch-all realm, which is searched if no other realm fits.
This is a mixin class that helps with HTTP authentication, both to the remote host and to a proxy. password_mgr, if given, should be something that is compatible with :class:`HTTPPasswordMgr`; refer to section :ref:`http-password-mgr` for information on the interface that must be supported.
Handle authentication with the remote host. password_mgr, if given, should be something that is compatible with :class:`HTTPPasswordMgr`; refer to section :ref:`http-password-mgr` for information on the interface that must be supported.

A class to handle opening of HTTP URLs.
A class to handle opening of HTTPS URLs. context and check_hostname have the same meaning as in :class:`http.client.HTTPSConnection`.
Open local files.
Open FTP URLs.
Open FTP URLs, keeping a cache of open FTP connections to minimize delays.
A catch-all class to handle unknown URLs.
Request Objects
The following methods describe :class:`Request`'s public interface, and so all may be overridden in subclasses. It also defines several public attributes that can be used by clients to inspect the parsed request.
OpenerDirector Objects
:class:`OpenerDirector` instances have the following methods:
OpenerDirector objects open URLs in three stages:
The order in which these methods are called within each stage is determined by sorting the handler instances.
Every handler with a method named like :meth:`protocol_request` has that method called to pre-process the request.
Handlers with a method named like :meth:`protocol_open` are called to handle the request. This stage ends when a handler either returns a non-:const:`None` value (ie. a response), or raises an exception (usually :exc:`URLError`). Exceptions are allowed to propagate.
In fact, the above algorithm is first tried for methods named :meth:`default_open`. If all such methods return :const:`None`, the algorithm is repeated for methods named like :meth:`protocol_open`. If all such methods return :const:`None`, the algorithm is repeated for methods named :meth:`unknown_open`.
Note that the implementation of these methods may involve calls of the parent :class:`OpenerDirector` instance's :meth:`~OpenerDirector.open` and :meth:`~OpenerDirector.error` methods.
Every handler with a method named like :meth:`protocol_response` has that method called to post-process the response.
BaseHandler Objects
:class:`BaseHandler` objects provide a couple of methods that are directly useful, and others that are meant to be used by derived classes. These are intended for direct use:
The following members and methods should only be used by classes derived from :class:`BaseHandler`.
The convention has been adopted that subclasses defining :meth:`protocol_request` or :meth:`protocol_response` methods are named :class:`\*Processor`; all others are named :class:`\*Handler`.
HTTPRedirectHandler Objects
Some HTTP redirections require action from this module's client code. If this is the case, :exc:`HTTPError` is raised. See RFC 2616 for details of the precise meanings of the various redirection codes.
ProxyHandler Objects
HTTPPasswordMgr Objects
These methods are available on :class:`HTTPPasswordMgr` and :class:`HTTPPasswordMgrWithDefaultRealm` objects.
AbstractBasicAuthHandler Objects
HTTPBasicAuthHandler Objects
ProxyBasicAuthHandler Objects
AbstractDigestAuthHandler Objects
HTTPDigestAuthHandler Objects
ProxyDigestAuthHandler Objects
HTTPHandler Objects
HTTPSHandler Objects
FileHandler Objects
FTPHandler Objects
CacheFTPHandler Objects
:class:`CacheFTPHandler` objects are :class:`FTPHandler` objects with the following additional methods:
UnknownHandler Objects
HTTPErrorProcessor Objects
This example gets the python.org main page and displays the first 300 bytes of it.
>>> import urllib.request >>> f = urllib.request.urlopen('http://www.python.org/') >>> print(f.read(300)) b'<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">\n\n\n<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">\n\n<head>\n <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />\n <title>Python Programming '
Note that urlopen returns a bytes object. This is because there is no way for urlopen to automatically determine the encoding of the byte stream it receives from the http server. In general, a program will decode the returned bytes object to string once it determines or guesses the appropriate encoding.
The following W3C document, http://www.w3.org/International/O-charset , lists the various ways in which a (X)HTML or a XML document could have specified its encoding information.
As python.org website uses utf-8 encoding as specified in it's meta tag, we will use same for decoding the bytes object.
>>> import urllib.request >>> f = urllib.request.urlopen('http://www.python.org/') >>> print(f.read(100).decode('utf-8')) <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtm
In the following example, we are sending a data-stream to the stdin of a CGI and reading the data it returns to us. Note that this example will only work when the Python installation supports SSL.
>>> import urllib.request >>> req = urllib.request.Request(url='https://localhost/cgi-bin/test.cgi', ... data='This data is passed to stdin of the CGI') >>> f = urllib.request.urlopen(req) >>> print(f.read().decode('utf-8')) Got Data: "This data is passed to stdin of the CGI"
The code for the sample CGI used in the above example is:
#!/usr/bin/env python import sys data = sys.stdin.read() print('Content-type: text-plain\n\nGot Data: "%s"' % data)
Use of Basic HTTP Authentication:
import urllib.request # Create an OpenerDirector with support for Basic HTTP Authentication... auth_handler = urllib.request.HTTPBasicAuthHandler() auth_handler.add_password(realm='PDQ Application', uri='https://mahler:8092/site-updates.py', user='klem', passwd='kadidd!ehopper') opener = urllib.request.build_opener(auth_handler) # ...and install it globally so it can be used with urlopen. urllib.request.install_opener(opener) urllib.request.urlopen('http://www.example.com/login.html')
:func:`build_opener` provides many handlers by default, including a :class:`ProxyHandler`. By default, :class:`ProxyHandler` uses the environment variables named <scheme>_proxy, where <scheme> is the URL scheme involved. For example, the :envvar:`http_proxy` environment variable is read to obtain the HTTP proxy's URL.
This example replaces the default :class:`ProxyHandler` with one that uses programmatically-supplied proxy URLs, and adds proxy authorization support with :class:`ProxyBasicAuthHandler`.
proxy_handler = urllib.request.ProxyHandler({'http': 'http://www.example.com:3128/'}) proxy_auth_handler = urllib.request.ProxyBasicAuthHandler() proxy_auth_handler.add_password('realm', 'host', 'username', 'password') opener = urllib.request.build_opener(proxy_handler, proxy_auth_handler) # This time, rather than install the OpenerDirector, we use it directly: opener.open('http://www.example.com/login.html')
Adding HTTP headers:
Use the headers argument to the :class:`Request` constructor, or:
import urllib.request req = urllib.request.Request('http://www.example.com/') req.add_header('Referer', 'http://www.python.org/') r = urllib.request.urlopen(req)
:class:`OpenerDirector` automatically adds a :mailheader:`User-Agent` header to every :class:`Request`. To change this:
import urllib.request opener = urllib.request.build_opener() opener.addheaders = [('User-agent', 'Mozilla/5.0')] opener.open('http://www.example.com/')
Also, remember that a few standard headers (:mailheader:`Content-Length`, :mailheader:`Content-Type` and :mailheader:`Host`) are added when the :class:`Request` is passed to :func:`urlopen` (or :meth:`OpenerDirector.open`).
Here is an example session that uses the GET method to retrieve a URL containing parameters:
>>> import urllib.request >>> import urllib.parse >>> params = urllib.parse.urlencode({'spam': 1, 'eggs': 2, 'bacon': 0}) >>> f = urllib.request.urlopen("http://www.musi-cal.com/cgi-bin/query?%s" % params) >>> print(f.read().decode('utf-8'))
The following example uses the POST method instead:
>>> import urllib.request >>> import urllib.parse >>> params = urllib.parse.urlencode({'spam': 1, 'eggs': 2, 'bacon': 0}) >>> f = urllib.request.urlopen("http://www.musi-cal.com/cgi-bin/query", params) >>> print(f.read().decode('utf-8'))
The following example uses an explicitly specified HTTP proxy, overriding environment settings:
>>> import urllib.request >>> proxies = {'http': 'http://proxy.example.com:8080/'} >>> opener = urllib.request.FancyURLopener(proxies) >>> f = opener.open("http://www.python.org") >>> f.read().decode('utf-8')
The following example uses no proxies at all, overriding environment settings:
>>> import urllib.request >>> opener = urllib.request.FancyURLopener({}) >>> f = opener.open("http://www.python.org/") >>> f.read().decode('utf-8')
Legacy interface
The following functions and classes are ported from the Python 2 module urllib (as opposed to urllib2). They might become deprecated at some point in the future.
Base class for opening and reading URLs. Unless you need to support opening objects using schemes other than :file:`http:`, :file:`ftp:`, or :file:`file:`, you probably want to use :class:`FancyURLopener`.
By default, the :class:`URLopener` class sends a :mailheader:`User-Agent` header of urllib/VVV, where VVV is the :mod:`urllib` version number. Applications can define their own :mailheader:`User-Agent` header by subclassing :class:`URLopener` or :class:`FancyURLopener` and setting the class attribute :attr:`version` to an appropriate string value in the subclass definition.
The optional proxies parameter should be a dictionary mapping scheme names to proxy URLs, where an empty dictionary turns proxies off completely. Its default value is None, in which case environmental proxy settings will be used if present, as discussed in the definition of :func:`urlopen`, above.
Additional keyword parameters, collected in x509, may be used for authentication of the client when using the :file:`https:` scheme. The keywords key_file and cert_file are supported to provide an SSL key and certificate; both are needed to support client authentication.
:class:`URLopener` objects will raise an :exc:`IOError` exception if the server returns an error code.
:class:`FancyURLopener` subclasses :class:`URLopener` providing default handling for the following HTTP response codes: 301, 302, 303, 307 and 401. For the 30x response codes listed above, the :mailheader:`Location` header is used to fetch the actual URL. For 401 response codes (authentication required), basic HTTP authentication is performed. For the 30x response codes, recursion is bounded by the value of the maxtries attribute, which defaults to 10.
For all other response codes, the method :meth:`http_error_default` is called which you can override in subclasses to handle the error appropriately.
According to the letter of RFC 2616, 301 and 302 responses to POST requests must not be automatically redirected without confirmation by the user. In reality, browsers do allow automatic redirection of these responses, changing the POST to a GET, and :mod:`urllib` reproduces this behaviour.
The parameters to the constructor are the same as those for :class:`URLopener`.
When performing basic authentication, a :class:`FancyURLopener` instance calls its :meth:`prompt_user_passwd` method. The default implementation asks the users for the required information on the controlling terminal. A subclass may override this method to support more appropriate behavior if needed.
The :class:`FancyURLopener` class offers one additional method that should be overloaded to provide the appropriate behavior:
:mod:`urllib.request` Restrictions
- Currently, only the following protocols are supported: HTTP, (versions 0.9 and 1.0), FTP, and local files.
- The caching feature of :func:`urlretrieve` has been disabled until I find the time to hack proper processing of Expiration time headers.
- There should be a function to query whether a particular URL is in the cache.
- For backward compatibility, if a URL appears to point to a local file but the file can't be opened, the URL is re-interpreted using the FTP protocol. This can sometimes cause confusing error messages.
- The :func:`urlopen` and :func:`urlretrieve` functions can cause arbitrarily long delays while waiting for a network connection to be set up. This means that it is difficult to build an interactive Web client using these functions without using threads.
- The data returned by :func:`urlopen` or :func:`urlretrieve` is the raw data returned by the server. This may be binary data (such as an image), plain text or (for example) HTML. The HTTP protocol provides type information in the reply header, which can be inspected by looking at the :mailheader:`Content-Type` header. If the returned data is HTML, you can use the module :mod:`html.parser` to parse it.
- The code handling the FTP protocol cannot differentiate between a file and a directory. This can lead to unexpected behavior when attempting to read a URL that points to a file that is not accessible. If the URL ends in a /, it is assumed to refer to a directory and will be handled accordingly. But if an attempt to read a file leads to a 550 error (meaning the URL cannot be found or is not accessible, often for permission reasons), then the path is treated as a directory in order to handle the case when a directory is specified by a URL but the trailing / has been left off. This can cause misleading results when you try to fetch a file whose read permissions make it inaccessible; the FTP code will try to read it, fail with a 550 error, and then perform a directory listing for the unreadable file. If fine-grained control is needed, consider using the :mod:`ftplib` module, subclassing :class:`FancyURLOpener`, or changing _urlopener to meet your needs.
:mod:`urllib.response` --- Response classes used by urllib
The :mod:`urllib.response` module defines functions and classes which define a minimal file like interface, including read() and readline(). The typical response object is an addinfourl instance, which defines an info() method and that returns headers and a geturl() method that returns the url. Functions defined by this module are used internally by the :mod:`urllib.request` module.

How can I handle my fears about being at my son's circumcision?
I'm 33 weeks pregnant with my son, and I'm terrified of having the circumcision done and taking care of it afterward. I want him to be circumcised, but I know I'll freak out if they're hurting him. Should I let my mother or my mother-in-law take him so I won't have to be there? Or would that make me a bad mother?

Come on boys, be honest, you know no matter how good she cleans it, it still has that smell!!!!!hygene for my baby girl all the way. circumcise her at birth.posted 10/27/2006 by a BabyCenter Member
"I know someone who was not circumsized who plainly argued that the foreskin covers the more sensitive area. He also complained of the extra steps necessary to keep the penis clean." Yes, it 'covers the more sensitive area' - it's protective; it stops the glans from becoming desensitized. I really think this 'someone' that you speak of is made up, because a man who is intact (and obviously has been his whole life) would not talk about retracting his foreskin as being an 'extra step', especially seeing as it only takes a split second. And no, the procedure is not 'perfectly safe' - boys die every year from botched circumcisions. http://www.cirp.org/library/statistics/bollinger2004/ "Deaths from circumcision and its complications are estimated at 229 per year based on a ratio from a British study. There are about 178 times the number of circumcision deaths than schoolyard violent deaths each year."posted 11/16/2006 by EricSP
What makes someone think it's their right to have healthy, functional body parts removed from another unconsenting person? Do people seriously think males are born with defective genitals? Would the people that have this done to their infant sons feel comfortable having it done to him when he is say, 13? This is something that affects a man his whole life. If he doesn't like the fact that half the skin on his penis (supposedly a private part) was removed without his consent, what are you going to say to him?posted 06/14/2006 by EricSP
For the anonymous person above - here's your evidence (functions of the foreskin): http://www.norm-uk.org/function.html another article to read that may explain why your husband is so insistant that your son be circumcised: http://www.circumstitions.com/men-vuln.htmlposted 01/30/2006 by EricSP
Why do people think that leaving a boy intact means leaving the 'decision' to him when it's unlikely for most that it would ever even be considered? The idea that there is a decision that needs to be made regarding a boy's genitals is something that was created by the medical profession in the US. In most countries circumcision is not even offered as an option. Circumcision should be seen for what it is: an unnecessary body modification that shouldn't be forced on anyone anymore than tattooing. It being offered at hospitals is nothing more than a scam: this practice only exists because it's paid for by parents who can be convinced of some supposed benefit and performed on infants who can't say 'No!'. People who want to make money from circumcision have to sell it as something that needs be performed on infants, because (right now at this point in time anyway) they have a reasonable chance of selling it to the parents. How much success would they have trying to sell circumcision to the boys themselves (when they're older) in comparison?posted 01/14/2006 by EricSP
By the way, there are women out there too who choose to get themselves circumcised for cosmetic reasons etc. Most women of course would not want any part of their genitals removed. It's the same with men.posted 11/24/2005 by EricSP
Your husband is one guy. If he wanted to get circumcised for whatever reason and he likes it that way then good for him. The vast majority of men who have foreskins would *not* want them cut off - it's sensitive and protective tissue and that *is* a fact. "It sure looks better" is an opinion, and certainly not a good reason to subject an unconsenting baby to unnecessary surgery.posted 11/24/2005 by EricSP
Do you honestly believe that males come with extra useless parts? What's 'phoney-baloney' about these websites exactly?posted 11/19/2005 by EricSP
"Yes, I do think everyone should get them removed, since you asked." How would you feel if I were to say "I think all women should get their clitoral hood and inner labia removed"?posted 11/17/2005 by EricSP
""I would agree with that. People generally don't want their healthy, functional body parts removed for no reason" Wrong again. My husband (along with others on this message board) chose it." Note the word 'generally'. The vast majority of men who have foreskins will never want them cut off.posted 11/17/2005 by EricSP

Check my wallpapers first before commenting bro. All of my designs originally came from me, it has my logo on every piece of design that I post. If you have seen double logos from some of my designs, that is a collaboration of me and my bro. Sorry but I think you are thinking it wrong.
Why are you posting this?
Because you cannot use images that you took from the internet or made from film/video , because you do NOT own the rights to them. Also crediting does not = permission to use. Next time read the faq's
Every wallpaper, design or image I create came from scratch. I do not violate any deviant law. Every piece of my design has my logo on them so it just only proves I created them.
There are lots of people who does that. Am I not allowed to create wallpapers or designs just because the images came from the net? Also, if you think those aren't my designs, you are wrong, those images are created by me. "I have the rights to use them" Because I designed them, take note of that please, now excuse me sir, I think you are thinking of the wrong way or another.

Meet the next great TV pitchman.
The Spot:A man demonstrates an absorbent towel called the "Shamwow." It cleans up spills, polishes cars, washes dishes, and so forth. "Eight Shamwows for $19.95," goes the salesman's closing argument. "Comes with a 10-year warranty. Here's how to order." (Click here to watch the ad on the Shamwow site.)
There's something captivating about Vince, the Shamwow pitchman. I always perk up when I hear those initial, outer-borough syllables: "Hi, it's Vince wit Shamwow. Dis is fuh da house, da car." A friend of mine—a guy who's never succumbed to an infomercial come-on—says he finds himself strangely tempted to order a Shamwow each time he watches Vince's spiel.
There are zillions of ads like this on late-night TV. A pitchman (or -woman) demonstrates a household product, then issues an aggressive "call to action" (as the marketing lingo goes). You're urged to "act now" and given a phone number or Web site through which you can order the product. Often, there's a time limit ("call in the next 20 minutes"), and you're promised free bonus items for beating the deadline. Ads of this ilk generally wash right over me. What makes the Shamwow ad different?
In part, it's the astonishing capabilities of the product. (Holds 20 times its weight in liquid! Instantly extracts cola spills from your carpet! Lasts for 10 years! I'm certain all of this is 100 percent true!) But lots of products make impressive claims. The real star here is Vince, who demonstrates an impressive and subtle mastery of the pitchman's art.
The first thing I notice is the physical grace. Vince puts the Shamwow through its paces with the fluid dexterity of a three-card monte dealer. Cleaning up spills appears not just effortless, but fun.
There's a genius, too, in his hectoring tone. He makes us feel like idiots for even entertaining the notion of not buying a Shamwow. "You're gonna spend $20 every month on paper towels, anyway," he says, palms up and head tilted back. He seems truly dumbfounded that anyone might fail to see the wisdom of dropping 28 bucks (including shipping) on a set of rags.
Vince also conveys a street-smart persona—with his headset microphone, rat-a-tat phrasing and fuhgeddaboutit confidence—that's intended to get the viewer thinking, "Hey, this guy's sharp. He knows a good deal." (It may also get us thinking, "Hey, this guy's a douche. He needs a better haircut." But that's a secondary issue.)
I've made several attempts to get in touch with Vince, hoping to quiz him about the finer points of his delivery. As of this writing, my phone calls have not been returned. But Internet sleuthing suggests (and a Shamwow spokesman confirms) that Vince is a man named Vince Offer. (Key pieces of evidence: the photo attached to this press release, and the fact that Offer once pitched kitchen vegetable choppers at swap meets.)

what should I tell 11 yr. old DSS about sex & his dad & I? (TMI)
This morning around 3 am my fiance & I wanted to have sex. our 8 week old was asleep in his crib in our room, so we couldn't do it in there because every single time we even start to do anything (no matter how asleep he may have been) he will wake up & start crying. The only other option was the living room. (please don't judge, we've been lucky to get to be with eachother once a week, well take it when we can), I'm usualy very aware of our volume so we don't raise any questions, but this morning when DSS comes out of his room he asked me what we were doing, we woke him & that he heard me say "it hurts". (we were having anal sex) I incl. that because I don't know if I should be honest & how honest is too honest. His dad & I just got him a book about the body, changes & sex & it did explain the different ways of sex there are incl. anal. I asked his dad what 2 say & he just deflected & wanted me to find out why he was up. DSS only comes to me about these things, what should I tell him??

As far as he said he only heard. I told him when he asked to ask his dad because I didn't know what to tell him or what his dad would rather me tell him then I asked him to make his bed that was when I went & asked SO. he made his bed & seems to have even forgotten, but I don't know what I should say if he does ever hear or see us again in the future. I don't want him to get the impression that sex is something he should be ashamed about, but I don't want to go about it the wrong way, esspecially because I'm barely step mom.

Clearwire Corporation (Nasdaq:CLWR), a leading provider of personal broadband and mobile Internet services, today announced it will commence shortly the mailing of its definitive proxy statement to all Clearwire stockholders of record as of October 15, 2008 to vote on the Transaction Agreement, pursuant to which Clearwire and Sprint Nextel Corporation (NYSE:S) will combine their respective next-generation wireless broadband businesses. The special meeting of stockholders will occur at 9 am PT on November 20, 2008 at the Woodmark Hotel in Kirkland, Washington.
"The stockholder vote is one of the final steps required to close the transaction with Sprint before the end of the year," said Benjamin G. Wolff, chief executive officer of Clearwire. "The explosive growth of mobile data usage and revenue demonstrates that consumers want both high-speed and mobility when it comes to their communications services. The new Clearwire will present an unparalleled opportunity to meet that demand by delivering a true broadband experience for our customers both at home and on the go."
On May 7, 2008, Clearwire announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement with Sprint to combine their next-generation wireless broadband businesses to form a new independent company to be called Clearwire. In addition, five independent strategic investors – Intel Corporation (Nasdaq:INTC) through Intel Capital, Google Inc. (Nasdaq:GOOG), Comcast Corporation (Nasdaq:CMSCA) (Nasdaq:CMCSK), Time Warner Cable Inc. (NYSE:TWC), and Bright House Networks – have collectively agreed to invest a total of $3.2 billion into the new Clearwire.
Clearwire's board of directors has by unanimous vote of all directors voting recommended that the Company's stockholders vote in favor of the transaction as they believe it is strategically and financially beneficial to the Company with the potential to create significant long-term value for its stockholders. The transaction is expected to close during the fourth quarter of 2008.
