Ok, so we are tourists here visiting San Antonio. We priced metal art, etc that we were looking for to decorate.

Very disappointed with this place. After visiting traders village and a few other very good flea markets in San Antonio I did not expect this one to be as poor as it was. Everything for sale here is cheap made in china merchandise not your tipicsl bargain hunters paradise. Will definitely never return.
I went here thinking flea market(resale) and its not. Almost everything for sale there is new cheap cheesy things from boots to clothes. Total disappointment !!! I've noticed alot of so called flea markets are the same junk. Not worth the time of day to go to this lousy place.
We visited the Flea Mart in San Antonio on a Sunday afternoon.
The place was absolutely huge, with row after row of stuff for sale, ranging from electronics, to wrestling masks, to decorations for baby/wedding showers, to ATVs, to furniture, etc.
There were lots of food booths too, and the place was full of people enjoying some shopping and eating,...

A modern artist with an impassioned eye toward the unification of contemporary art and sound, American saxophonist Nick Zoulek's focus on collaboration, improvisation, and commissioning new works has led to a diverse portfolio of distinctive performances and artistic ventures. Working with a unique array of musicians and performers, including Wildspace Dance Company, multimedia musicians Netmoiré, and saxophonist Tommy Davis as part of Duo d'Entre-Deux, Nick's craft has been lauded as "a delight", and with the capacity to "[take] you to other worlds" (Milwaukee Magazine). Uniquely skilled as a bass saxophonist, the prowess and versatility Nick displays on the instrument has been praised as "[b]eautiful harmonies [singing] in contrast to mysterious knockings and hums, and finally to ungodly, soul-shattering blasts" (Shepherd Express). His forthcoming album, Rushing Past Willow (Spring 2016), fuses all of these facets of Nick's work, and displays self-composed works for alto, tenor, and bass saxophone.
Nick maintains an active profile in researching the saxophone's role in contemporary classical music, presenting on the instrument's idiomatic aesthetics and its inclusion with digital arts. His work has been generously funded and well-recognized by Mid American Center for Contemporary Music, the National Conference on Undergraduate Research, and the State of Wisconsin.
Widely adaptable as a classical, jazz, and experimental saxophonist, Nick has performed with ensembles at universities across the United States, including the University of Wisconsin Whitewater Symphonic Wind Ensemble, Symphony Orchestra, and Chamber Orchestra, and has been a guest artist at universities including Kent State University and Oklahoma City University. He is currently pursuing a Doctor of Musical Arts degree in Contemporary Music Performance at Bowling Green State University with the guidance of Distinguished Artist Professor Dr. John Sampen. Nick holds a Master of Music Performance from BGSU, a Certificat des Études Musicales from the Conservatoire à Rayonnement Régionale de Boulogne-Billancourt, and a Bachelor of Music Performance with Magna Cum Laude honors from the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater. He has previously learned with Jean-Michel Goury, Dr. Matthew Sintchak, and Dr. Jon Amon. Nick is currently on faculty at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, where he teaches saxophone and jazz courses.
click below for full biography
"...Mr. Zoulek's performance, on saxophones in every range, is stunningly virtuosic, whatever the genre."
-The Wall Street Journal
"...a no-holds-barred engine of avant-garde exploration"
-The Portland Press Herald
"...a tour de force."
-Milwaukee Magazine
"...Rushing Past Willow pulls you into [a] swirling portal of disciplined arpeggiations packed with shifts and flourishes, bringing to mind the work of German synth pioneers like Cluster and early Tangerine Dream. However, Zoulek isn't triggering a synthesizer or twisting filter knobs-he's playing this stuff manually on a sax, which is insane for the amount of controlled dynamics he brings to the timbre, volume, and frequency spectrum."
-Tone Madison
"The beginning of "Leafless Against the Sky" is beautiful in its simplicity: the chemical interjects nature. The sound design warns of a plague. The chemical stains, and then grows. The tension builds and I am on the edge of my seat. There is so much frightening beauty in decay. Death by colour – the ending is visual poetry. The film is focused and measured and delivers exactly when it should. There is a superb sense of awareness towards rhythm. Hands down one of the best projects I've reviewed for this festival. The film is simple but kicks a punch – well done to the maker!"
-Break Big Film Festival
"...dark notes in the gathering twilight...the music stirred my bones."
-Shepherd Express
"...[performed] with sensitivity and wit."
-Third Coast Digest
"...a delight...[will] take you to other worlds."

Until 2020 Rhône-Alpes Region will become the EU funds Managing Authority
1.3 billion euros for the Regional Development Fund, the Agricultural Fund and the Social Fund.
In 2014, the Rhône-Alpes Region became the EU funds Managing Authority until 2020.
For the next seven years, the Region will manage around 1.3 billion euros for the Regional Development Fund (ERDF), the Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD), and the Social Fund (FSE).
As the primary French recipient of European investment fund, the Rhône-Alpes Region will also be responsible for the Franco-Italian ALCOTRA programme, and will oversee part of the Rhône Plan that involves several partners (States, Regions, etc.).
The Rhône-Alpes Region will focus on several objectives:
To do so, the Region will consult with and mobilise Rhône-Alpes citizens who are the most affected by these programmes. Indeed, during the 2007-2013 period, more than 2.6 billion euros were invested in the region thanks to a number of funding sources that were complementary to European funds.
ERDF. The European Regional Development Fund aims to support innovation, ensure the diversification and promotion of economic activities, protect the environment and prevent risks, extend accessibility (ICTs, soft transport modes), and develop the Rhône river sustainably.
EARFD. The European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development supports rural and forestry areas to promote more competitive farming, quality food products, a balanced and environmentally-friendly rural space, a diversified economy and better quality of life.
ESF. The European Social Fund fits in with the objectives of the European strategy for employment: increase in the employment rate (especially employment for women and seniors), anticipation of economic transformations, access to training, prevention of long-term unemployment, strengthening social cohesion and developing personal mobility.

I sat silently in the car, ignoring the curses coming from my guardian's mouth as we drove on. Stupid war, it makes everyone go crazy. Even my sweet little cousin, Sara, turned into a hardened soul, all because so bunch of idiots can't get along. Stupid people, Stupid creatures, Stupid war.
"Shelby, what was that" I asked. My aunt turned her head sharply and just glared at me, causing Sara to laugh.
" Puttana" I muttered. Sara hissed at me but turned away as her mother turned her icy glare on her.
"Rhea, don't call Sara a whore, and I'm not sure all I know is that it's a creature and needs to die" She finished coldly and Sara whooped.
"Why?" I asked and the car screeched to a halt, tyres skidding on the empty highway. Sara hit her head against the seat and cursed loudly.
"Are you stupid?!?" Shelby yelled and I cowered slightly. Here comes the lecture, just because of War fever, stupid woman.
"They killed your parents, my sister and my husband, we have lost so much and you ask me why we should kill these vile creatures, I honestly thought you knew better than that" Shelby shouted and even Sara cowered at that.
"What if they aren't all the same, I mean us humans aren't" I replied, before realising how stupid I was being. I knew this rule, never question anyone who suffers with 'War Fever'. Stupid, Stupid, Stupid.
"You really think that" Sara asked from her side of the car and I shrugged.
"I don't know, it's possible though isn't some humans are different" I tried to explain but neither were hearing what I was saying.
"I just want a way out of this war, if we could co-exist instead of believing everything about the other side is wrong, nobody would have died." I concluded and then sat back, waiting for my aunt to start driving again, how wrong I was.
"Rhea, if you believe that then leave, get out of this car and go" Shelby said, her word final as she faced forwards, face void of emotion as I sat stock still in the back of the car. I glanced at Sara but she was identical to her mother.
"Fine, but if I die think about what my parents did and why they did it" I said sullenly, clambering out of the car and reaching the trunk, grabbing my stuff before slamming the trunk and kicking out at the car as it sped off, my last family gone for good. I shrank my luggage to pocket size so I could transform, before running in the opposite direction to my aunt, howling quietly.
I shivered as it got cold and I rested my head on the rock I had found to sleep on. Licking at my paw I settled trying to fall into a sleep, but still concious of every noise around me. I was vulnerable again and I didn't like it. I knew it was my fault though.
Stupid big mouth, stupid aunt, stupid me, stupid war.
The thorn in my paw shifted as the air grew cold and twigs on the ground snapped in the distance.

Just a few notes from the nurses office............
1-During this cold season that is approaching, please keep in mind the that Weld County School District has a policy on reasons to keep student's home, check this out~~~
WCSD #6 Policy Reasons to Stay Home~english
WCSC #6 Policy Reasons to Stay Home~ Spanish
2-Please provide proper clothing & footwear for the upcoming winter like:Jackets/Coats, Beanie Hats, Snow/waterproof boots & Gloves!!
3- Most Important Health Concerns
: Please inform the school nurse with any health concerns your student may have so we can treat them at school, whether it's Allergies (whether it be environmental, seasonal, food, bees, medications...etc), Asthma, & Seizures. We have authorization forms in the health office that need to be filled out and returned by physician and parent/guardian to be able to treat your student in school or field trip. Also we need to have physician authorizations for medications we DO NOT carry in Health Office even COUGH DROPS (Sorry for the the inconvenience, it is district policy)
4-Head Lice Do head lice have you "scratching your head"? Head lice (Pediculosis) are always in our community, so it's good to know the basic information about them. They don't cause diseaseThey don't fly or hop, they only crawlDirect physical head to head contact is the usual method of transmission.Transmission via clothing, hats, furniture, carpets, school bus seats and other objects is not likely because of the biology of head lice. Lice can only live 1-2 days off of a human body Ways to prevent getting head lice Avoid direct contact with a person who has lice, or with their clothing or personal belongings.Watch for signs of lice, such as frequent head scratching. Nits are the egg of the lice bug and can be seen on the hair shaft; they are yellow-white and oval-shaped. They are "cemented" to the hair shaft and can't be easily from the hair.Teach children not to share combs, brushes, scarves, hair ribbons, helmets, headphones, hats, towels, bedding, clothing, or other personal items.
If you have any questions, contact the health office 348-1226,
"Does your child need health insurance? District 6 can help you in the process of getting FREE or low-cost health insurance through Medicaid or CHP+. Please contact your school health clerk at 348-1326 or come into health office for a flyer with more information." Immunizations: Also, we should remind ourselves that it is important to know that there are certain vaccines required by the state of Colorado for entry into school.
The Kids Care Clinic (348-1112) is a resource available to all Dos Rios students at no cost to the family. They can offer information about vaccines as well as provide immunizations. There are several informative websites that are great resources for parents www.ImmunizeForGood.com and www.ColoradoImmunizations.com. In addition, we encourage you to speak with your health care provider regarding any immunization questions. We appreciate your assistance with keeping our school a healthy place to learn. The Kids Care Clinic (located next to Centennial Elementary school) is a FANTASTIC resource available to Dos Rios students and their siblings. Kids Care Clinic offers, medical services such as physicals, immunizations and well child checks. They also offer dental and mental health services as well as assist families in enrolling and renewing in Medicaid and CHP+ plans. The Kids Care Clinic is open throughout the school year. They also offer school physicals and immunizations. Call now to make an appointment! Call 348-1112 with questions or to make an appointment.
More notes from the nurse!
~We have students that have need to borrow dry clothes and we do loan them out but not getting them back. If possible can they be washed and returned (except undergarments) so we can use them again? I do get a supply from Scroll & Fan but sometimes there's a high volume in demands.
~If your student loses some clothing like jackets, lunch boxes, shoes, shirts, etc.... Please check out the lost and found outside the school cafeteria.
~If your students owns prescription glasses and appear to be lost, please swing by the health office during the school year because we will have a selection I'm sure to choose from. If they don't get picked up they will be donated to closest Vision Care Place available.
~If any student has a Health Concern to were they need to have Medication
at school, please swing by Nurse's Office to get proper work to have the Doctor/Parent Permission. Medications we DO NOT carry in the Health will need Physician Authorization even COUGH DROPS :)
Have any questions please don't hesitate, we are here to help you,

There's over half a century of Superman related media, which I think you'll have to agree is an incredibly daunting task for someone who doesn't like something to have to go back and research just to either say "Well I still hate this" or "Well I guess this isn't as bad as I thought." If I was to try and go back and read/watch everything Superman's been involved in, ever, there's just as good a chance I'll come away hating it even more as there is that I'll come away loving it.
Just say, for the sake of example, you tell me "I don't like Game of Thrones because _________." Then I say "Well that's actually different/explained/addressed in the books." Those books are each close to or over 1000 pages long, and that's a lot to ask of someone to read to prove them wrong, or to confirm their opinions. But it's still not even close to the amount of Superman related media.
What it boils down to is what I know of Superman, and what Superman I've been exposed to, whether or not it's canon in the comic books or whatever doesn't really matter because that's not the Superman
know, I haven't liked. So like, comic Superman never spun the world backwards, I can accept that. But the Superman I saw sure did.
I think that makes sense
Yes it does, very good response dude. Sorry if i came off too strong btw. Hopefully this film impresses us all.

Race for reasonMature
Fire raced through the night, tearing through the darkness, banishing the shadows to the further corners of the forest. Overhead an owl screeched, crying out a warning and alarm. The orange flames danced along the ground, lighting the sun-dried leaves. Licking up the ancient trees, the flames brought down old timber, already dead, but green with moss and new life. Whimpering in a small clearing, a small girl cowered, shielding her face as her arms burnt. Curled into the foetal position, the fire teased at her damp clothes, trying to get a hold, as her skin blistered and burned. Her delicate hands spread before her face, trying to keep the flames at bay, away from her already sore face. The girl had been beautiful before, as she danced through the trees, playing and frolicking with that boy. The orange tint of the flames coated her skin, bathing it in a gorgeous light, even with the dirt and soot on her skin.
He hadn't meant to start the fire, but he couldn't stand to see another touching his girl; even if she did not know that she was his. He would wait until she accepted him as her own. That he would do, long before he would stand to see any other man with her.
She might not notice it, but she wasn't actually burning, wasn't even beyond uncomfortably warm. He was keeping the flames just back from her. Her brain was telling her that the fire was hurting her and catching at her but it was dancing around the outside of her body. He would never let her be hurt; especially by him. He had seen far too often the dangers of his kind falling in love with a human, becoming involved with a human. They were too fragile to know the truth.
His own girl had never in any of her incarnations been aware of what he was. There was the truth of it. Her incarnations. He could never allow himself to bring her to him for eternity. He couldn't risk her life, let alone her soul. She might be looked down upon as different and a loner by her people, but that was just part of why he loved her. There was no denying that even within his people, who were loners by nature, she would stand out, but it just proved the truth and strength of her. The fire blazing and destroying the forest at the moment was nothing compared to that which lit her life each time she was reborn. When he was aware of her but not near her, the blaze was more of a slow torture, only easing when he drew closer to her. That was how he tracked her down. At the moment he was merely simmering with energy from her. He knew that if he allowed himself to touch her it would consume him.
If he drifted down to her now, if he saved her, as if that were possible, she would accept him and trust him, but it would destroy her desire for her own world. She would be the one to become consumed by him. That could never happen. There were too many dangers for both of them.

USD/JPY: "Window" acted as a strong resistance
There's a "Harami" pattern at the local high, but its confirmation hasn't formed yet. So, the market is likely going to test the nearest "Window" once again. If we see a pullback from it, there'll be an opportunity to have another decline. As we see on the Daily chart, the 21 Moving Average acted as a support, so bears will probably try to reach the closest support line in the short term.
We've got a "High Wave" at the local high, which points to an opportunity to have a new low during the day. Also, there's a "Two Crows" pattern, which has been strongly confirmed. In this case, it's likely that the price is going to achieve the nearest support shortly.

The Knight of Undiscovered AllegianceMature
Nobody really wanted to venture out into the gloomy, smoky, hostile village outside and so the group decided to remain in the warm refuge of the inn.
"I once killed a dragon," slurred a Hakian soldier proudly to La, putting his arm around her boldly. La smacked him away. "Dragons are a myth you idiot."
"Hey. Hey! I am a general, I'll have you kno- Ow!" La gave the man a nasty electric shock, making him practically fall backwards.
"That'll be a little stronger and better-placed if you don't go away right now." La hissed at the soldier. He complied quickly, stumbling back to his comrades near the fire.
"Oh-ho! Adventurer!"
"Oh shit, what now?" La sighed enormously as the lone adventurer on the far side of the table waved energetically at her.
"Well at least he seems friendly." Raul said as he joined her at the table. He thumped a book of sorcery and idly flipped some of the pages.
"I shall join you in sitting merrily at thine table!" The jolly voice boomed. The figure jogged energetically toward them.
"Looks like a warrior of some sort. Weird looking armor though." Raul said wearily.
The warrior came to a sudden stop in front of them and plunked his drink heavily down on the table. The warrior wore a suit of bannered armor with a strange, bucket-shaped helm. The helm had slits resembling a cross shape to facilitate breathing and seeing, but was pockmarked with several deep depressions where something frightening had caved it in. It was a miracle the one wearing it was still alive. The tattered and gold-dyed banner hanging from his chest was once proudly emblazoned with the crest of someone or thing, but had been long faded away by time.
"I greet you well, friends and fellow adventurers," he said, his voice muffled and far away behind the slits in his bucket-shaped helm, "Perhaps we have not met before." The last statement was made uncertainly, almost a question.
"No," La answered reassuringly, "We haven't met before."
"Well then, I am the Knight of Undiscovered Allegiance." He said matter-of-factly.
"That's some name you've got there." Raul commented sarcastically, "I'm Raul, and-"
La interrupted, irritated. "and I'm La, the leader of this group. It's got me, Raul, and uh…" she stood and surveyed the room for the rest of her group. Oocus was talking with the innkeeper, and the Candy Knight had retreated to one of their rented rooms after one of the Beyond men tried to eat his candy plate armor.
"Well, they're around here somewhere. Nice to meet you, Mr. Knight of Undiscovered Allegiance."
"It appears we are now officially well-met then!" the Knight of Undiscovered Allegiance said assertively. He tipped his tankard of Beyond ale towards his helm, letting the drink slosh in through the helm's slits and pour generously down his armor. He shuddered.
"Tastes like dust!" he laughed. La and Raul stared at him in unconcealed disbelief. Oblivious to their expressions, the Knight of Undiscovered Allegiance carried on. "Unfortunately it is necessary that I continue onward, friends." He stood up suddenly.
"You're leaving? Now?" La frowned, "are you not going to sleep here? It's already night outside."
The Knight of Undiscovered Allegiance shook his head. "I do not partake in sleep often. I find the process to be dreary, just lying there for hours with mine eyes closed. I honestly do not understand why so many do it." He laughed again. "But perhaps I will meet you again someday, friends. However for now I am afraid that I need to get back to searching." The Knight of Undiscovered Allegiance left, his frayed golden garb wistfully fluttering as it disappeared out the door.
"Weird guy." Raul commented.
"Yeah. No kidding." La snorted.
"I wonder what he's searching for?"

ZOOT Ultra Tri Speed Men's Tank - $124.95
Let's not kid ourselves, when it comes to race day, we're all after the same thing -- speed. However, as we're sure you know, training is only able to get us so far. Afterwards, comfort and technology provide the winning edge. To achieve this, Zoot's Ultra Tri Speed Tank incorporates Zoot's very best technology, fabrics, and fit capabilities. The end result' Speed over land and through the water. Starting with the bulk of the Ultra Tri Tanks's construction, Zoot used its venerable ULTRArevo with an HP Speed Finish. We'll break this title down into two categories, given that ULTRArevo is the fabric and HP Speed is the treatment. So, starting with the former, this material was implemented for its supportive knit structure. Featuring a compressive fiber weight and structured knit, ULTRArevo is supports the muscle groups without a feeling a constriction. Accordingly, by lessening the fatigue-inducing effects of road vibration and run impact, you're able to retain a higher threshold throughout the land legs of your race. Additionally, this fabric is highly breathable and it also efficiently manages moisture. As for the HP Speed Finish, this treatment places a priority repelling water. So, in other words, it's engineered to be hydrophobic. In fact, it's developed on a fiber by fiber basis, where each yarn is isolated and a barrier is created around it. Accordingly, water is thoroughly repelled, increasing your speed and comfort through the water. And, just as importantly, this finish directly equates to a quick dry post-T1. Even better, when combined with the high-gauge construction of ULTRArevo, the material becomes resistant to both sand and pilling. In terms of fit, the Ultra Tri Speed was design with racing in mind. To achieve this, Zoot incorporated its proprietary stitching, SeamLink. This technique minimizes the stitch profile along the seams, providing a next-to-skin fit that nearly eliminates the risk of chafing and abrasion. - $124.95

101223Re: All things begin anew: Frida's Pack
Expand Messages
- May 10 1:04 AMElle frowned a little confused but shrugged "Ok then so we leaving now?" she refused to show that other pack her fear they may have scared her once but never again!
"Well, sorta, sorta not." Miruku said. "We're goign to see the alpha of this other pack, it seems."
"Great....looking forward to seeing him again...." Howler muttered.
"Uuuuh.....him being..him him?" Moore looked down right afraid.
"So....I get my throat sslashed out...." Howler muttered under breath. he was reluctant to go. He knew they wwere looking for him all this time but had hoped this day wouldn't come.
"Hmm yeah I meant to see this Alpha guy" she said in an indifferent tone when really her heart was beating ten to the dozen. "Sounds like he might be a little Gay if you ask me..." she mumbled under her breath to Howler and Rey trying to joke off her fear "Having such an infatuation with Miruku that is..."
Rey bit back a joke in reply, having a hard time biting back a snikker
Miruku didn't say a thing to that, he wouldn't know what to do if that were the case.
Elle looked up in alarm in hearing that "...Thhh..rooat...
sllaasshhhed?" she was completely shocked and knew it was clearly visable in her widended Blue gaze and the dact that every single hair on the back of her neck stood on end.
"You will not speak of our father in such a way!" Samara snarled.
Frida had the same angered look on her face. Yet she did not voice her opinion. She merely turned from them and looked ahead following with Samara and her other siblings.
"Won't let that happen." Rey growled. "I'll burn 'em to ashes before I let that happen, as well as anything else that gets in my way."
"Afterall we are comrades now, right?"
"We....ran with a vicious pack. Our father....did a lot of hurtful things to Dakanza and his pack. And....me and
oore...were supposed to kill Frida....but we failed...thankfully." Howler said at last.
Miruku soon followed as well, he didn't stay far from Frida though.
"Look, I only mean if someone tries to hurt one of my comrades." Rey said, tense.
one thing that drove him mad was when someone immediately took what he was saying as an attack without even Bothering to see the other side of the situation.
"Btter be glad you failed..." Miruku muttered, he remembered this.
"Hey I said thankfully asshole." Howler bared his huge fangs at miruku in a vicious snarl. He could not stand the fact he was saved by the gimp.
Elle seethed internally and reigned in her temper *frikkin Idiots* she thoight to herself as she sat and watched the pack that Frida was now so enamoured of, but then she guessed family was family, though Elle herself didn't put much trust in Father's especially since hers was a complete and utter bastard, she hated him to the depths of her being some days.
Rey didnt bother to say anything to the Other pack, not even looking their way, with a terse atmosphere about him.
"Look, both of you.....jeez, whats with the infighting crap anyway? Aren't we on the same side?"
"Owler and Miruku are fighting for Beta. Though Miruku is sorta an outsider so....he...doesn't really stand much of a chance with a more constant ....pack....member...." Moore realized how loud he was talking.
"Shut your mouth...." Miruku growled, not intimidated.
"We're supposed to be helping eachother, not ready to rip eachothers faces off."
Elle put a paw to Howlers chest knowing that if he wanted to jump Miruku he could easily do so she was so small compared to him and not at all strong in a muscle sence. "Calm Down the both of you" she said a growl in her own tone.
Miruku blinked and looked. "Who said I was fightign for Beta?"
"Oh, so thats what it is....a power struggle...Gee, just what we need, more strife in our lives....the worlds a friggen battlew for survival as it friggen already is." Rey rolled his eyes
"Outsider at that? So what, That was before, I knew Frida before you even did."
Miruku growled at the otehr ninetails. "Do Not even start with me..."
"If you are not fighting for it then... I am beta. and what I say goes as underboss." Howler grinned. "So shut up Miruku."
"You mistake my intent for trying to start shit...I'm just making observations."
"You are making it an obvious point..." Miruku sighed. "Keep your observations to yourself next time..."
Elle sighed men and their ego's "STOP IT NOW!" She barked completely peeved "I can't believe this seriously are you all scared to leave and meet this Alpha or something because you are definately acting like it, starting an argument so that it takes longer for us to even make a move!"
"Yeah yeah....fine then....I'm not scared by the way, just annoyed. I cant stand seeing this sort of crap between allies." he said to her
"Yeah yeah....fine then....I'm not scared by the way, just annoyed. I cant stand seeing this sort of crap between allies." he said to her
"And I won;t lsiten to you...I saved your ass once, I beat your ass Once." Miruku snapepd at Howler.
"I just keep solitare and help the pack, mroe often now."
Elle raised a delicate brow at Howler "So now its going to start over again huh more snapping!" she implied he too was scared in her tone.
"Uuugh...." The things you do for women he thought to himself. He grew quiet to Miruku and just stayed near Elle.
"Children? Are we done? Can we go now?" Samara said over her shoulder.
"I'm hoping you all show the alpha more respect than this...seriously." Frida said to her pack.
Rey rolled his eyes again and looked at Elle. ".... sorry... ust ...pisses me off is all .... the last pack I ran with was infighting all the time...got all of these from them just trying to keep myself alive." he said, showing off some scars along his right flank
"So How about this Beta, do teh pack some good and let's drop your freakin' pride."
"So we can move on without some fighting, had enough of the crap."
"Yes well that is definately something very close to you" Elle said to Reynard wincing as she saw the criss cross patches of scares along his side "But please can we get a move on?"
"Should be freakin' happy I didnt let you get killed."
"and of couse, Just sore history was brought up." Miruku replied.
At this point Miruku dropped it, and continued to follow.
he nodded to Elle, and Frida. "Roger that Boss....I think I'll just avoid the Alpha though...just gonna stay back....bad enough history with hostile packs fighting with themselves, I'd rather not get caught up in any chance of snapping again like what just happened....sorry Boss." he sighed, following a bit of a distance back
"It's fine Rey." Frida nodded to him. He seemed to be the one with any sense here besides Elle.
Elle just sighed and shook her head she was definately going to reserve some of her meaner comments for later as she knew this would probably be a big recurrance.
As they moved, Miruku looked about trying to see if he could recall this place, and how clsoe they were to the staging.
Howler was quiet now worried about how Dakanza was going to react to him. He was a shame among his own family and now he was stronger here and a good choice for pack Beta yet...he felt beat down by the rest of the pack. He was just another failure.
Elle followed the others trying to keep her sences about her if she ever did need to make a run for it she would need to know the way back. Her stomach rumbled crying out in need of food, the race through the tree's had taken every last bit of energy she had and currently she was running on adrenaline alone.
he nodded silently, following them
Samara and Thorin took the lead as they got closer into the pack lands. And as they approached Moore could smell other dogs. Saw signs of kills and where the pack had spent time together. He was nervous like Howler about this.
Elle looked at Howler he seemed kind of worried judging by the look on his face she nudged his side and smiled as yet again her stomach rumbled in hunger.
He looked up from the ground to see Elle there with a smile. He couldn't help but feel like he was walking on toward his own execution. He had many enemies in the area and especially Dakanza.
"Need to find you something." Howler said hearing her belly rumble.
Miruku looked around even more. "Heh, I got thsi feeling of anxciousness...let's hope it's nothing bad." He took note of the events.
"I feel it too." Frida said. It was worse that Half was so quiet. He seemed so dead set against meeting with the other pack and it's alpha. It made her nervous not knowing all her mate's secrets.
Elle felt the blood rise up to her cheeks thankful that her fur was black else you would have seen the embarassment "Yeah I'm a little hungry" she said as yet again her tummy protested its lack of food "Don't worry Howler..." she said looking into his eyes with a knowing look as if she knew his fear when really she didn't she just wanted him to loose that expression as if he were about to die.
"let's hope hes's rational and such, and won't see any of us as foes." Miruku then added. "i'm sure he won't, butstill..." he eyed Howler, with soem concern.
"I worry...I always do. When life has been as hard as mine you worry...a lot." Howler admitted to her as they walked along. He wondered if it was too late for him to turn back.
"You should remember how he was Miruku. He was fair. Strong firm and fair." Frida smiled remembering her adoptive father well.
"We all had hard lives..." Miruku then said. "You reformed, maybe he'll be some armestance to you and Moore."
Elle worried her lower lip a little scared now especially feeling the atmosphere within the pack it seemed as if they were all going to their deaths. "Ok...your all scaring me"
Reynard didnt bother to respond to either of them with anything more than a grunt, irritated by the sudden phobic atmosphere. "Seriously....its not like you have to stand there and let them kill you, you can always run or fight or whatever."
"Fair indeed." Miruku nodded. "so Moore and Howler should be safe, though glared at with soem dubious feelings."
"I haven't seen Dakanza in a while, so I hope he's the same old Dakanza I knew."
Elle kept silent after this, just carried on walking her hunger knawing at her insides.
"Sorry Boss.....had to say it." he shut up again.
Frida just closed her eyes and sighed haking her head. Of them all it was her and Miruku who knew Dakanza best. It was hard for her to listen to all the fears over her father as they travelled. They didn't know him like she did.
"I'm confident he's the same wolf." Miruku the nsaid, optimistically.
"Almost home." Goshin said his tail wagged. He knew there was a large kill waiting and his mouth watered.
"About time." thorin snapped near Samara.
Miruku looked over at them breifly before focusing forward, he didn't know those ones much, however he will need to be more mature, especialyl since he was talked about.
Elle could see the signs that a pack lived here and when she heard they would soon be at their destination she almost stumbled...but keeping her head up high she walked on.
"I might duck out of this one..." Howler said under breath as he began to slow hiss pace down and figured he could just run off for a bit. Who knew. He shrugged.
"Well if yoru sure...what happens if the yfind you without us?" Miruku said. "That probably wouldn't look good unless someone was informed."
Elle heard Howler and frowned but began to slow her pace with him she didn't want him out there by himself especially on hearing what Miruku was now saying.
"I don't know what I'm doing anymore...." Howler shook his head. Everything seemed so simple before. They were searching with no leads. and now...they found Dakanza. Something he had hoped wouldn't happen.
"you alright?" Rey asked her, noting the near-stumble. He wasn't looking at Howler or Miruku. Until they started actign their age he wasn't even going to look at them lest he be tempted to start something as miruku had thought he was intending earlier. He wasnt even sure why he was suddenly so disdainful, but it was getting on his nerves that he was feeling that wayu at all let alone toward a comrade, which bothered him that he couldnt figure out why, and it became a deadly spiral, and he growled in frustration, trying to get the hostile thoughts about Everything out of his mind, a voice from the past whispering angry thoughts into his ear.
Elle looked up at Reynards tone and smiled "Yeah I'm fine thanks for asking, you're a sweetie you know that?"
"Heh...thanks." her words cut short the angry voice in his mind, and he nodded "Mind if I just stay with you two till their business is done over there? I'd rather not end up starting any crap."
Miruku didn't say anythign else, he gave his advice. He was just anxcious to meeting an old friend.
Elle looked back and forth between Howler and Miruku and then to Reynard "Hmmm well if you really wanted to go off...I'd come with you and looks like Reynard would too, if they caught up with us later then..." she shrugged and added "Well we could just say we went off all 3 to have some nookie"
Howler was hardly in the mood for that anymore. Even though it did bring some hunger spark in him he felt it quickly fade with his fear choking up hiss mind. Even more now as he could hear the voices of the other dogs of the pack not too far off.
Megapost by the Pack: Ace, Sammi, Typho and Rey
> "I don't know either...but..bythe loosk we have a past with thier parents...and now i'm, sort of looking forward to the meeting." Miruku said. he was, he wondered if the alpha would still reconize him, he was stil la kid hismelf almost.
> "Seems that the Boss wants answers." Rey said to them both. "I couldnt quite catch it all, something about....yeah, that." he nodded to Miruku and then back to them.

Jones Day has boosted its burgeoning European operation with the launch of its first Eastern Europe office.
As first revealed on www.thelawyer.com last Thursday (1 July), the US firm has launched an office in Moscow to focus on M&A, capital markets, finance and dispute resolution.
The new office will be headed by Washington DC-based corporate partner Vladimir Lechtman, who will relocate to Russia. Jones Day plans to have up to 10 lawyers in Moscow by 2005. Lechtman said: "Russia is a good source of quality legal work so we really view this as an exciting opportunity."
Jones Day already has relationships with a number of Russian clients, including oil giant TNK. Last year he led the team advising TNK and its shareholders, the Alpha Group and Access-Renova (AAR), on Russia's largest ever corporate transaction, the $31.2bn (£17.18bn) Russian joint venture (JV) between TNK and BP.

I would like to become a programmer. What is the best programming language to start with?
Posted July 11, 2016on:
- In: Android | Development | Facebook | Frameworks | Google | IT Trends | Java | JavaScript | LinkedIn | PHP | Programming languages | Python | Ruby | software development | Web | WordPress
- 1 Comment
"Computer programming is an art, because it applies accumulated knowledge to the world, because it requires skill and ingenuity, and especially because it produces objects of beauty."
Donald Knuth, 1974
It's better to start your journey into the career of programming by answering the question "Do you really need programming?" This question does not apply to those, who majored in computer programming or was close to it. If at school you were good at math, if you like to spend a lot of time sitting in front of the computer, if you want to learn something new, then programming is for you. What is more, this area is now in demand and highly paid in the world, job vacancies for the post of programmers are always open. Isn't it the best time to be a programmer? 🙂
Everyone knows that the future programmer should be able to think broadly and to present the project from different perspectives before its implementation and realization. Unfortunately, the machine does not understand a human language. Of course, I'm not talking about Siri and other voice recognition — I'm talking about the creation of new software. To create the calculator, the computer needs to be given the task in the same way as the foreman explains to workers how to lay bricks. That's why you can't do anything without understanding the programming languages. Well, first you need to decide what kind of programming languages we should start with.
And here everyone chooses a language which will be useful for him. It depends on the kind of products you are going to develop. Most of us studied Turbo Pascal at school, and it's no news that this language is practically not used anymore. So, if you want to join the team of programmers in the nearest future, the choice of language should be made sensibly.
Among the most popular programming languages in 2016 are Java, followed by C languages, then Python, JavaScript, PHP, Ruby, etc. It should come as no surprise that the more popular language is, the more chances you have to find work in the future. So, you'd better start with Java or C#, as these are the best paid and relatively simple learning languages of writing code. If you can't cope with them, then you should try to learn Python. This language suits for quick and effective programming.
But if you have no programming experience at all you can start with something more simple for understanding. Good examples can be the basics of HTML and CSS.
Why? These two languages are essential for creating static web pages. HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) structures all the text, links, and other content you see on a website. CSS is the language that makes a web page look the way it does—color, layout, and other visuals we call style. Well, if you are interested in making websites, you should definitely start with HTML and CSS.
Let's move to JavaScript. It is the first full programming language for many people. Why? It is the next logical step after learning HTML and CSS. JavaScript provides the behavior portion of a website. For example, when you see that a form field indicates an error, that's probably JavaScript at work.
Some people also suggest choosing Python as the first programming language because Python's program code is readable, first of all. You don't even need to be a programmer to understand what is happening in the program. Due to the simple syntax of Python you will need less time for writing programs than in Java, for example. A huge base of libraries will save you a lot of strength, nerves and time. Large technology companies are working with Python: Yandex, Google, Facebook and YouTube. It is used for web applications, game development, software for servers.
Java can also be a good choice for a beginner. This language is more popular than Python, but a bit more complicated. At the same time, the development tools are much better designed. Java is one of the most popular languages for the backend development of modern enterprise web applications. It is used in Amazon, eBay, LinkedIn and Yahoo! With Java and the frameworks based on it, developers can create scaling web apps for a wide range of users. Java is also the primary language used for developing Android applications for smart phones and tablets. Moreover, after Java you will be able to work with low level programming languages.
PHP is one more popular language. The PHP language, along with databases (e.g. MySQL) is an important tool for creating modern web applications. Most of the sites developed on PHP are focused on a large amount of data. It is also a fundamental technology of powerful content management systems like WordPress. There are no normal imports in PHP, there are many solutions to one and the same problem. And it makes training more complicated.
The languages C and C# are a bit complicated for a beginner. But if you develop software for embedded systems, work with system kernels or just want to squeeze out every last drop from all available resources, C is what you need.
Ruby has begun to gain popularity since 2003, when the framework Rails appeared. Used widely among web startups and big companies alike, Ruby and Rails jobs are pretty easy to come by. Ruby and Rails make it easy to transform an idea into a working application, and they have been used to bring us Twitter, GitHub, and Treehouse.
Choosing a programming language may still seem challenging. It shouldn't. You can't go wrong. As long as you choose a language that is regularly used in technology today, you're winning. When you are starting out, the goal is to become solid in the basics, and the basics are pretty similar across almost all modern programming languages.
Part of learning to code is learning a language's syntax (its grammatical or structural rules). A much bigger part of learning to code, the part that takes longer and gives you more headaches, is learning to solve problems like a programmer. You can learn the grammatical structure of the English language pretty quickly; however, you won't truly understand the language until you put that grammatical structure to use in a conversation. The same is true in programming. You want to learn the core concepts in order to solve problems. Doing this in one language is similar to doing it in another. Because the core concepts are similar from language to language, I recommend sticking with whichever language you choose until your understanding of the core concepts is solid. If you have a clear idea of your reasons for learning to program, and know exactly what you want to accomplish with your new coding skills, then you'll be able to make the right choice.

The IT sector is flourishing. If you've used a computer for at least a couple of times in the last few years, you've probably noticed this. I've noticed it myself even more after a business trip to Stockholm where I was lucky to attend some conferences and learnt more about Swedish IT industry tendencies. These tendencies reflect our life in general. Life changes rapidly with new technologies bursting into it. And when it comes to programming languages, we get a chance to see very different trendy styles. Programming languages which were popular some years ago are not useful today. And no one can exactly predict which programming language will be popular in future. That's why a programmer who wants to stay in developer fields has to adopt the right programming language from time to time.
As the Swedish software maker Erik Starck pointed out, "programming is about managing complexities". And it's really so. An understanding of at least one programming language makes an impressive addition to any CV nowadays.
It is also very difficult to get the exact number of users for any programming language. Many of us use multiple programming languages. The more experience you have, the more programming languages you use. The more programs you write or work with, the chances of using more languages rise. The larger the company, the more languages you're likely to use.
There are a number of ways to measure the popularity of a programming language, for example, based on the number of: 1) new applications written in the language; 2) existing applications written in the language; 3) developers that use the language primarily; 4) developers that use the language ever; 5) web searches; 6) available jobs that require skills in the language; 7) developers' favorites, etc.
My survey attempts to rank which programming languages are most popular in Sweden, each using a different measure. So, they are the following:
1) Python
Python is an object-oriented programming language which allows developers to work quickly while integrating their systems more efficiently and effectively. Designed by Guido van Rossum in 1991, Python is one of the most easy to use programming languages.
Python is characterized by its use of indentation for readability, and its encouragement for elegant code by making developers do similar things in similar ways.
Top Employers: Amazon, Dell, Google, eBay, Instagram, Yahoo
2) Java
Java is a class-based, object-oriented programming language founded by Sun Microsystems in 1995. Java is one of the most in-demand programming languages today for many reasons. First of all, it is a well-organized language with a strong library of reusable software components. Secondly, programs written in Java can run on many different computer architectures and operating systems because of the use of the JVM (Java virtual machine).
Top Employers: Amazon, Deloitte, Sun, eBay, Symantec Corporation, Cisco Systems, Samsung
C++ is a compiled, multi-paradigm language written as an update to C in 1979 by Bjarne Stroustrup.
Due to its high-level compatibility and object-orientation, C++ is used for developing a wide-range of applications and games which makes it a popular and sought after programming language by the employers.
Top Employers: Intel, the Math Works, Microsoft, Qualcomm, Amazon, Mozilla, Adobe, Volvo
4) Ruby
Ruby is an open source, dynamic programming language designed by Yukihiro Matsumoto in 1995 with a key focus on productivity and simplicity .It is one of the most object-oriented languages in the world.
Ruby is a mix of elegant syntax which is easy to read and write and hence it has attracted many organizations and developers.
Top Employers: Spokes, VMware, Accenture, Cap Gemini, Siemens, BBC, NASA
5) JavaScript
JavaScript is an object-oriented scripting language founded in 1995 by Netscape.
Top Employers: Microsoft, Sales Force, IBM, Yahoo, Dell
C# is a compiled, object-oriented language developed by Microsoft.
It is highly used on Windows platform and labelled as the premium language for Microsoft .NET framework. C# is known for strong typing, procedural and functional programming discipline which is the reason it has acquired so much popularity.
Top Employers: Microsoft, HP, Digi-Key Corporation, Allscripts, Intel
Those are the top 6 programming languages which are in great demand among Swedish developers.
And one more thing: remember that opinions are like noses, everyone has one and they all smell 😉 If you disagree, please feel free to email me or write your own opinions in the comments.

Working with many startups I was wondering recently why Python and Ruby are so popular and common with young and promising startups, especially Scandinavian ones as my experience shows. I am curious if anyone has analyzed the trend towards Python over Ruby with startups? Also I would like to find out what are the advantages of Python over Ruby if they are so?
I think a lot about choices and decisions at startups. Picking the language/platform to use at a startup is one of the harder decisions. Here I would like to mention the fact that most of startups today make their choice toward Python or Ruby over PHP or Java. From what I have read, PHP is just an inferior language to Python and Ruby. Even though a lot of people are using PHP because it is easy to get started, it seems to be easier to develop bad habits with PHP. Why jump on a bandwagon when you obviously know is broken? I've come to realize that the main reason why PHP gets into trouble with the purists is that there are just so many ways of doing one thing — it is not that standardized. I think it became the most popular language only because it's so easy to pick up!
Python/Ruby win over Java on speed of development, and conciseness of code. This generally makes Python/Ruby a better choice for small startups for whom speed to market, and ability to implement new features matters most. Most of the modern sites chose Python when they were small startups. Only later did they have to scale. Websites tend to be horizontally scalable, meaning that for a surprising range of volumes of traffic you can just throw more webservers at it and the bottlenecks will be at other layers (for instance the database).
Searching for relevant information to compare both Pyton vs Ruby languages and analyzing customers' demand on the software development market I found out that Python appeared to be the more popular choice for startups trying to get a minimum viable product launched and seek out potential venture capital.
This has less to do with the merits of either language and more to do with the philosophies of the frameworks represented by either language. RoR really can't be beat as a rapid application development framework, and developers discussing Ruby on the web are generally referring to RoR. Django purports to do the same, but the overall philosophy of the python community is more minimalistic – python developers generally prefer to make their own selection of tools such as ORMs, Persistency layers and libraries. A lot of people start Python web development with Django but move on to something more minimalistic like Flask, simply because the community seems predisposed to building its own stack in this way. RoR is more opinionated, and developers who are more predisposed to hitting the ground running, especially in the startup field, often take the Ruby fork in the road.
There is a "coming of age" point for startups coming from RoR or PHP, however. I've heard about several companies who had this exact same experience and ended up moving towards something like Python or Scala. I'm not certain this is specific to python, but I can say that as startups grow and become more ambitious, they move into problem domains poorly represented strictly by web frameworks/languages. Search features and data extraction increasingly rely on advanced data mining techniques utilizing things like natural language processing and find they need to reengineer their stack a little to accommodate new ideas. Increasingly I see companies not abandoning their RoR/PHP/Django frontends, but creating separate REST APIs that almost always use bare python or a JVM language to take advantage of more complex computation outside of the HTTP req/response model. Ruby could be used for this kind of offline processing, but the toolkits are just better and more mature in other languages since RoR is so prevalent in the Ruby community and consumes a great deal of the mindshare.
The fact of the matter is that most web startups represent feature sets early on where development speed is the prime concern, and so the language/framework with the biggest potential hire base and best RAD features typically win out early on.
As my personal point of view that no single language can answer every problem satisfactorily, and it is foolish to stubbornly stick to a single language for every case. Nevertheless a lot of our clients stick to Python when starting up their business. Let's try to see what are the advantages of Python over Ruby?
The two are more similar than they are different, in everything from design to disadvantages to common uses – you can't really go wrong either way, and shouldn't base your decision on syntactical differences.
As Ruby developers say, Python's main advantage has nothing to do with the language's features. It's more subjective: it seems that Python has more momentum amongst serious computer scientists. It's increasingly popular in academic and scientific applications, and a lot of the technologists I respect the most seem to prefer it. By comparison, the Ruby community feels more designer-y and relatively more novice.
What this means is that while the Ruby world has very slick out-of-the-box product solutions, the Python world seems to produce more exceptionally well-written components like Tornado (web framework). Combined with it being used at Google and the potential for stuff like LiveNode to be released as open-source, I'd cast my lot with Python if I were starting today.
Thinking Python may be the best choice of startups, what is your opinion on this?
Looking forward to hearing from you!

When planning the application you have to choose the right programming language to make your application work appropriate. The choice depends on many factors you need to consider. Such as but not limited: you need to think over on what platform the application will run, how easily new features would be added to the existing platform, the code size, performance, support and community etc.
There are various web programming languages and selecting the right one makes a website function properly. In my article I would like to focus on three of them, so called three "P": PHP, Perl and Python to answer which of these languages is the best one.
Let's have a look at them and try to make a comparison analysis
PHP – is free of charge open source scripting language and widely used in web environment. The best advantage of PHP is that it is easy to learn and easy to use. It is flexible and used for developing from small websites to giant business and organizational websites. Most common are informative forums, chatting platforms, CRM solutions, e-commerce shopping carts, community websites, e-business, shopping carts.
In terms of efficiency it is executed by the server and server parses the code at its source, executes and send properly formatted html to the client computer. Therefore it increases the speed of PHP applications.
What concerns the advantage of running, PHP is multiplatform language and compatible with all operating systems and platforms.
Being open source language, a large group of PHP developers help in creating a support community, so it's maintained and when bugs are found, it can be quickly fixed.
A lot of websites including such giants as Wikipedia, Yahoo!, Facebiook, Digg, WordPress and Youtube are written in PHP. The popularity of PHP is based on its simplicity and coding style that is quiet easy to understand.
Nevertheless, the simplicity in developing, precisely principle so called «structure is not important» in PHP has its reverse side, precisely it's hard to maintain for large applications since it is not very modular.
Also it's weak in terms of security since its open source, all people can see the source code, and if there are any bugs it could be used to explore the weakness. About 30% of all vulnerabilities listed on the National Vulnerability Database are linked to PHP. The last summary on vulnerabilities you may find following the link: http://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/detail?vulnId=CVE-2013-0427
Perl –refer to all purpose languages. Perl was developed as a text editor for converting or processing large amounts of data for tasks such as creating reports. Nowadays it intended improvements and suited for web development, game programming, GUI development, popular among system administrators etc.
The Perl reusable code structure provides flexibility in apps development and at the same time creates the problem of code reading after. As there are so many ways to do, there are a lot more ways to mess up in what you've done. If the code was written without proper care, the reading could even take 6 months.
So from one hand Perl is a good language for small programs because of its messy syntax structure it's hard to write and maintain large programs. On the other hand if you're planning to develop big web application you need to consider good coordination between developers work on discussing the code stile, mentoring and managing work in the team.
In terms of portability Perl code doesn't use system specific features, so can be run on any platform.
Among popular websites created on Perl could be named bbc.co.uk, Amazon.com, LiveJournal.
In respect of vulnerability Perl takes the second place – 9.4%. I assume that it's not bad taking into consideration its complexity and its long history.
It has fallen out of popularity lately a bit because of the slow development of Perl 6. Most people still use Perl 5.
Python – is considered to be very elegant programming language. It's general purpose, high level programming language. On the one hand Python's syntax and semantics are minimal; on the other it has complex standard libraries.
Python supports multiple paradigms: object-oriented, imperative and functional programming styles and has features including fully dynamic type system and automatic memory management.
In comparison with Perl Python is easy to read language. And its key idea is vice versa "there should be one—and preferably only one—obvious way to do it". It means that the code written by one developer could be easily developed and supported by the others. Besides to delimit blocks Python uses whitespace indentation, rather than curly braces (C, C++, ….) or keywords (Delphi).
Python is often used as a scripting language, but is also used in 3D animation (Maya, Softimage XSI, Blender) and image editors (GIMP, Inkscape, Scribus, Paint Shop Pro). It was also used for writing several video games.
Python is actively used by Google, Yahoo!, CERN and NASA. But it has problems with popularity, precisely with spreading. The reason is that it's less simple than PHP. Working with Python you need to learn numerical libraries. So that's why some people prefer choosing PHP instead of Python. But only the betrayed ones could explain why they choose Python, the answer is easy the development on Python is faster on 30% and his vulnerability consists only 0.67% against 36% of PHP.
PHP at first sight seems to be a leader in this so called comparison race. It's simple, easy to learn and efficient for building small and middle size websites. Going further with analysis in terms of scalable large system it turns out that here Python will perform better than PHP. The reason is in readability that makes Python easier to maintain and extend. Besides, Python is object-oriented. PHP is not. Moreover, Google supports Python with its Google App Engine where web sites can be hosted on Google's server for free. What concerns Perl, analysis showed that it's simple programming language with cross platform running and open source modular architecture that provides to develop interesting things. If the task is to perform administration scripts Perl is much better to use here than PHP.
After the analysis it follows that the choice any of three P is a good choice. Also it means that for a certain purpose there is a right tool to choose. Besides the analysis showed that all three "P" have in common the following:
• are cross platform;
• have open source code;
• have well written documentation;
• have large user communities;
• extend libraries and big amount of code written;
• have high-level frameworks (PHP – Symfony, php.MVC; Python-Django, CherryPy, Pylons; Perl -Catalyst, CGI::Application, Gantry);
So I hope that summary based on technical analysis we made could help to make a right decision in future web projects you might have.
Thank you for your attention and if you have anything to add, please feel free to leave a comment.

It's surprising that in our blog we have never written about Python frameworks and Python itself either. So, I've decided to help out the omission 🙂
When choosing a framework for site development you have many things to consider. If the criterion is a programming language, for Microsoft and C# followers the choice is clear – ASP.NET. Those who are in love with Ruby don't have to think too much either – Ruby on Rails will be their choice. It's much more complicated for Python, PHP and Java developers to make up their mind: the quantity of frameworks here is tremendous.
Firstly, I want to underline the pluses of Python frameworks in general:
- Usage of Python language. I'm sure lots of programmers are pretty tired of praising Python. But to write a site on Python is really faster, cheaper and more pleasantly than on other languages.
- Wide choice. Frameworks abundance can be scaring only for beginners. A professional always welcomes the freedom of choice, as the chance to find what you really need only increases. Besides, choice entails competition, and healthy competition leads to quality improvement of every framework.
- Rapid development. New frameworks emerge constantly, and their precursors either give their way to the younger ones, or continue their struggle for leadership: bugs are fixed, new features are implemented. It differentiates Python community from, Ruby community, for instance, which is represented mostly by Ruby on Rails. Due to the lack of new ideas we can see some standstill in Ruby on Rails development.
- Opensource. They say using quality software on a legal and free basis is really cool 🙂
For now there are several dozens of Python frameworks. Among them are famous Django, Pylons, Turbogear, and some other interesting ones, as Zope, Twisted, CherryPy.
Today I want to make a short review of the more popular Python framework – Django.
Django was created specially for convenient news site development of The World Company. It had been developed since 2000, but to the general public it was presented only in the middle of 2005. The framework got its name after a Belgian jazz guitarist and composer Django Reinhardt.
Django site is built from one or several applications, which are recommended to be made alienable and interconnected (unlike Ruby on Rails, for example). One of the main Django advantage is excellent documentation, and, I suppose, the biggest community among all the Python frameworks.
When getting acquainted with Django, firstly, his built-in administrator interface wins over. It provides convenient work with the content of a written site. You should change the settings a little bit, then following the link http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin you can start the page through which it is easy to manage the content (for example, to look through the data base content and change it).
Django architecture is a bit different from classic MVC. Controller of the classic model MVC approximately corresponds the level, which is called "View" in Django. Presentation View logic is realized on the level of Templates. Due to this Django level architecture is frequently called "Model-Template-View" (MTV).
For models Django provides an abstraction level which frees from the necessity of writing SQL-requests for getting/saving data to the database. All the tables, that are used in the application, are written as classes in a separate file models.py. Then with the help of these classes methods there happens manipulation of the tables content in the code. Thus, work with database becomes fully object-oriented. Django supports work with the main databases (PostgreSQL, SQLite3, MySQL, Oracle).
Also, it is worth noting about a very flexible way of urls reflection on the application function – with the help of regular expressions.
While developing an application it is convenient to use built-in server. It automatically determines the changes in the files of the project source code and reboots. The result from changes made to the code immediately displays on a browser web-page, but it is not recommended to use it as a working one, as it is single-threaded and do not provide any security measures. For these purposes you will have to set a normal server (Apache, for example).
To be honest till the very end, I will enumerate Django disadvantages as well:
- Though the template language is simple, still it is not very "pythonic"
- Not very convenient work with AJAX
- There can emerge some difficulties while replacing components (if you are in bad relations with regular expressions, which are used widely in urls reflection, you may want to use another dispatcher). It is widely believed that Django developers quite often invent bikes. Though Django allows doing this easily and quickly.
Although Django is one of the most popular Python frameworks, do not forget that framework is just an instrument; the choice should depend on the task set firstly, and only after that on its popularity.
Thank you for consideration. As usual, I would be happy to see your comments 🙂

Hierius (consul 427)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Flavius Hierius (floruit 425-432) was a politician of the Eastern Roman Empire.
Hierus was Praetorian prefect of the East a first time from 425 to 428, then a second time in 432. In 427 also held the consulate, with Ardabur as a colleague, both chosen by the Eastern court. In 427 he also restored and dedicated the Baths of Constantine (also called "of Theodosius").
