Clearly as parents in a shifting moral landscape we are going to need to anchor ourselves and our kids to something 'greater' than ourselves.
The traditions of the church and our Christian faith provide a powerful resource for parents and pastors to utilize. These long-established Disciplines of devotion (Scripture reading, prayer, bible study, worship, following the yearly church calendar, Eucharist) offer a way for us to be reminded of the truth of our biblical heritage. The constant remembrance of how BIG GOD is, and how the values of our world do not match with the values of scripture.
Attending church regularly isn't just a religious thing to do, it's a biblical thing to do. It shows our kids we value the church, we seek out the fellowship of other believers, and we make every effort to worship the creator, not the creation. These weekly habits will allow for the truth to sink deeply into the hearts of every child, and it will anchor them to something and someone greater than themselves.
The idea that our world is only able to process the moment, that 'today' is all that really matters… is a huge insight into the forces that are urging us along. We need to pull ourselves and then our families and congregations out of this flow of the immediate and anchor ourselves to the truth of our Christian heritage and faith.
What we believe is real and tangible, it transcends the immediate and ties us to something ancient and enduring, something that can stabilize us in the rough and tumble moments of modern life.
Co – Host of the Brilliantly Brave Parenting Podcast, Pastor Brad Mathias.
Following the Holy Spirit's leading is a risk.
For the believer in Christ Jesus, the road ahead is often obscured, no clear visibility or confidence in our path. Yet we sense the pull of something beyond us, something stronger and deeper than our mere ambition or desire.
God draws us to come closer, and often in His courtship of our souls He woos us with the gentle power and subtle attraction of the Holy Spirit.
Let me be clear, I'm no expert on following God… but I am learning. Couple of quick observations about my own path.
God often leads us to follow His plans and not our own. (usually a 'curve' ball – something completely unexpected and different from we had in mind.
God through the Holy Spirit will surprise us with Joy in the midst of transition and turmoil. Despite our awkward and uncomfortable agitation in the circumstances we're in, God will comfort us and gently encourage us to stay with it.
God's leading will push us into places and spaces we're not familiar or confident in. Life experiences will not equip us for the next step, instead the past will give us context for God's faithfulness to meet us in any situation at any time. Our confidence will grow in Him and wane in us.
God's direction will bring a deep sense of personal satisfaction and contentment despite the lack of any external success or personal affirmation.
God will ask you to trust Him. That means we'll have to take risks to obey His leading. There is nothing safe about following the Holy Spirit's voice, it may seem radical and unbalanced on the surface, but as we discern and respond by faith the process will bring clarity and conviction that God is indeed behind it all.
I recently was asked to personally put these ideas to the test, I am writing this from my new home off the coast of Maine. God redirected my life and ministry from the safety and comfort of middle Tennessee to the wild and unpredictable world of northern New England.
I Love the entire season of Christmas and New Years! The joy is contagious, presents, food, family, and lots of fun! The triumphant day comes and goes, the food is abundant and full of carbs, the days are long and we spend hours watching movies, eating peppermint chocolates, sipping cocoa and generally having a blast with those we love the most!
New Years brings a fresh start, like it or not… we're going forward, time stops for no one and the world is new once again.
After the New Year…'real-life' returns, and we slowly lose our lightness of being. We start to feel the 'weight' of our normal world push back in and over us. The daily grind of school, work, and our lives quickly shrink back into perspective.
We may start to feel the slow burn of regret cloud in as we begin to anxiously wait for the bills to arrive. We may feel sad, depressed, and full of fatigue. The Holiday 'high has come and gone, and we're left with a profound 'low'.
This Christmas was unusual for our family. We found ourselves in a moment of 'transition', waiting to move into a brand new home over 1500 miles away from our life in Tennessee. We were set to journey to an unfamiliar world, a new and uncertain home and place in Maine. The result, we were not only feeling emotionally and relationally displaced, but we were literally and physically (albeit temporarily) living through the holidays without a home to call our own.
As a result, the struggle to gather was greater this year. We ended up renting a small house in the woods through VRBO. A small 3 bedroom 1.5 bath renovated home in the rural countryside of Primm Springs, TN. It was marvelous, and it was close. All eight of us squeezed into a 1200 sq. foot home and made the best of our Christmas week. Three nights we had together, eight adults and a 15 month old grandson.
Our family had come together in this magical moment of Christmas time, our daughters and son-in-laws, our son, and grandson… all very much together again. It was marvelous and wonderful to see the whole gang at once. A rare treat now that our oldest and her husband were living in Oregon, we all sensed how precious the time was and no one took a moment for granted.
In those special moments we shared some time watching classic Christmas movies and sharing our favorite snacks as we lounged on the couch and wrapped ourselves in warm blankets and snuggled our way through once iconic scene after another.
On Christmas day we watched the "The Nativity Story (2006)". No one had seen it before, and it became an instant 'favorite' of our family. Ignoring the negative reviews we watched this amazing story of Mary and Joseph as they wrestled with the enormity of the life God invited them into. That's all amazing and epic stuff, but I never truly considered the cost of them accepting such a calling.
The movie illustrates with remarkable clarity the rigors of life in the time of the Roman occupation of Israel, the shame of an unexplainable pregnancy and the overwhelming weight of being rejected by the religious elite. The Nativity story, makes you wrestle with the multitude of impossible challenges Mary and Joseph had to overcome to survive as a couple, not even fully married, but nevertheless they were branded by their 'illegitimate' child, an inescapable scandal that marked them for the rest of their lives.
Talk about lives in transition! Mary and Joseph were thrown from all that was familiar and safe and tipped top over teakettle into the dangerous currents of God's Holy Spirit. An ocean of uncertainties filled their horizon, they faced rejection by family, by faith, by friends, the danger of a paranoid and violent Roman King who ruled their world, life was at risk at any time, finances were non-existent and their future was grim. Yet, they were obeying God. Trusted by the Holy Spirit to carry out the most important human assignment in history.
The movie made the case very clear… these saints were far from living an idyllic existence; their lives were marred by every kind of stress, anxiety, and pain. They endured months of pressure, struggle, and acute suffering. As the iconic vessels of salvation, favored by our God Most High, I've always glossed over this part of the Christmas story. I sort of filled in the blanks of the gospels with my own version of how things went. I wasn't being very honest with myself or with the narrative of the bible. Life wasn't magically lifted up and amazing simply because they obeyed God's call… in fact, it got harder and more tenuous.
That sounds a lot like my life.
My take away from this movie was significant and timely. God's will is going to be accomplished, and He's inviting us to be a part of His story. No we're not being cast as the heroic lead, we're not starring in a spectacular – hollywood scripted show, but we're asked to follow Christ in our everyday, flawed, and anxious lives! Our world doesn't magically shift from daily struggle to the ease of a superman when we obey God's call.
It's becoming more and more evident, despite being chosen by God to carry out His will here on earth, we're still going to hit the same obstacles and issues as everyone else. No free pass, no eternal Holiday bliss of Christmas, but the difference is… we're going to see God do amazing things. He is going to show up in the fine details of our existence. He's not our magic genie in a bottle, prepared to grant our every wish, but He is the God of our fathers, and He won't let us fail or fall.
Happy New Year from Pastor B.
I think every generation of parents has fear. Each transition of faith from one age to the next feels like a critical pass of the baton, a sacred trust that must be kept.
This age and stage of our society may be unlike any before…unique in the modern era. Not being a legit historian, I would hazard a guess that not since the rise of the industrial revolution has the fabric of life been so rapidly affected as it is with today's technological transformation.
Think back 30 years. (1988) Consider the state of society and faith, the condition of the family and what we considered to be 'normal'. The personal computer had just become a product for us to consider. The internet wasn't yet a public concern. Cellular phones came in bags and families of faith were focused on the abortion debates, and prayer in the classroom. Marriage was defended by both democrats and republicans as between a man and woman. Pot was illegal.
Oh, change was occurring in 1988; generational shifts were rapid between music styles, MTV videos and late night television stars opened up the door to cable TV programming, and something called "hip – hop' was being heard from those 'boom boxes' in the streets. We were fascinated by Top Gun, Beetlejuice, Michael Jackson, and Miami Vice. Big hair and Nike shoes were the norm as our values were shifting to focus on wealth, raw materialism and success. The party scene was focused on a brat pack in southern California and the valley of San Fernando was the talk of every town. Eddie Murphy was coming to America, the Young Guns were big at the box office and Ronald Reagan was rocking America into a major economic recovery. The incomparable U2 was on top of the music world, "but we still couldn't find what we were looking for".
Today, life is shifting again. Parents who were once teens, are now facing tremendous strain. We who were the self absorbed children of the 80's are now seeking wisdom on how to help our teens navigate a digital world of relativity and limitless opinions.
If your not aware, here are some recent (2018) stats about Generation Z (kids currently 13-19 years old) from the Barna Research Group.
59% of students in this age group Identify as Christian or Catholic (down from 75% ).
Students in this age group struggle to reconcile science with the Bible.
24% side with science (up from 16% ).
31% believe science and the Bible refer to different aspects of reality (up from 25% ).
28% believe science and the Bible can be used to support each other (down from 45% ).
So… reading those stats can sober a parent up. At first glance it looks grim, things are clearly different than when we were teens. Reasons for this are debatable, but anyway you slice it, our kids are changing their values to reflect today's pop culture, just as we did in the 80's. I went a bit crazy in my early twenties, after college and the restrictions of my parents, I promptly set out to chase after money and success, reflecting the values and beliefs of my generation. I left my faith and family for a BMW and a swollen Edward Jones portfolio, but by my mid-30's Christ had graciously derailed my selfish path and reconnected me to His perfect plan.
My parents. They prayed for me every day.
My wife stayed true to her faith when I wandered from mine. In the end, God won the battle for my heart and mind. It was the authentic beliefs and behavior of my family that eventually forced me to consider the Christian faith as 'real'. Not a fantastic sermon or study, not a fascinating truth revealed in a engaging ministry event, it was the consistency and faithfulness of my family living out their faith when no one was watching that won my respect and ultimately my trust. God wasn't in a hurry, He had things under control and He was unfazed by my wandering ways.
The truth…God wasn't distraught over my prodigal diversions. He wasn't 'thrown' by my generations pagan pursuits, He firmly and gently reclaimed what was lost and started the divine story of redemption all over again. I believe He can and will do that for this generation. I believe parents must live their messy faith in authentic ways to earn the respect of our teens, and sometimes we as parents must watch and wait for God to show up in our kids lives.

Flowers and food, fresh moods and sweet surprises, our Valentine celebration is a once a year explosion of red hearts and glitter cards… a reminder of everything cliché' about 'Love".
From grade schoolers trading Star Wars valentines to the serious date dinners with chocolates and diamonds, our annual tributes to the ideal of love is as diverse and different as we are.
But what about "Intimacy"? Isn't that the longing of every heart… the deep down desire of every soul on earth. It must be… just look at the millions of books sold by Nicholas Sparks or the powerful pull of the romantic comedies on our pocketbooks. We're searching to find that 'something' still missing in our relationships.
We can't seem to find the "it". We search it out at home or online… in friendships and spouses, kids and co-workers, we look and look desperation growing. Eventually we give up… seeking it out vicariously through the lives of the fictitious.
Don't read me wrong, I'm in there with you. I too struggle with "Intimacy". It's not my wifes fault or some personality conflict that bars the way for our long-last connection as a husband and wife. Alas… no.
The scriptures and the Holy Spirit help us uncover the secret to discovering "Intimacy"! It's simpler and harder than you think… recently I've been reminded (through my own marriage) of the truth about Intimacy. You see, true Intimacy is only found in our willingness to be 'vulnerable' with someone else.
Our lives cannot grow interdependent and intimate if we're playing it safe. Proximity isn't the same as intimacy!
We aren't able to discover and dig deep into the world of the Intimate soulmate without risking the rejection and pain of discovery.
Trusting and believing in each other is all platitude until you risk exposure of your deepest self. When we take the plunge to open up and share our inner fears and frustrations, our biggest dreams and desires… we're exposing our heart to someone who can receive it and cherish it or simply discard it.
It could be we need some alone time to reflect on the offer Christ makes to us all… the offer to accept as 'we are'. To really and truly be intimate with the one who created us and all those unmet longings within. That my friend is one sure way to build a lasting foundation for others to love and be loved.
Happy Valentines Day from RTP!


I can't get over every single how fortunate I feel to live here, even when I encounter difficulties. I have been showered with so many blessings here in Israel.
That's all you could come up with, Rivka? You must be tired today.
re: English books. Just buy a Kindle from Amazon. They cost under 100 dollars and then you have access to almost any book you want.
Great post, Rivkah, and very well said!
Heartwarming list! I can really identify with so many of your points!
Lovely post. My husband and I made aliyah 2 months after our wedding, 41 years ago, so our adjustments were fewer, but in those days greater, like not having a phone for a year.
I just can't imagine a life any place else but here in Eretz Yisrael. Over 40 years later, I'm not sorry a single second.
To Devora -- there are bookstores with plenty of books in English -- best-sellers and all. But they're expensive on an Israeli paycheck. Also smaller apartments means less bookshelf space. So people share, use Kindle or equivalent -- especially now that you can get books from public libraries in US that way -- and find other creative ways to get their fix of English reading.


In addition to the huge number of attractions, Karelia has unique characteristics that distinguish it from other regions and countries. One of them is the unique Karelian architecture. It is well known that this wonderful region is a real treasure of the Northern wooden architecture. Why wooden? Long since the tree was a versatile building material, well, Karelian forests, which occupy more than half of the total territory of the Republic, were inexhaustible source. The availability and low cost of timber allowed to build virtually all, ranging from typical barn and ending with the chapels of amazing beauty. Stone for these purposes have started to use only in the middle of the XVIII century.
Examples of traditional architecture are preserved in many Karelian villages. By the way, the place for the erection of churches, chapels and other important facilities in each village to chose the value of the land itself, proximity to roads and characteristics of local climate. New villages settlers often founded on the banks of ponds and facades of the houses of the «must have second sight». Residents of the Karelian lands always respected the lakes and rivers, where they were fishing or just visited on them. Located in the southern part of Karelia village Нурмолицы is a town with typical for these places layout. Here, right on the shore of lake were built several baths, slightly above, there is a village street, but aside from it - grove cemetery.
In Zaonezhie settlements often you can see the Church buildings erected on the hill. A Church or a chapel with a tent roof served as a lighthouse, that the travelers could see from afar and Orient yourself. By the way, tent Church were the most common type of churches in Karelia. Their appearance resembles watchtowers of ancient fortresses. Sights such as the assumption Cathedral in Kemi or assumption Church in Kondopoga are known far outside the Republic. An example of a more complex structure - многоглавая Transfiguration Church, which is part of the Kizhi Pogost.
Atypical Karelia is considered «Indigo» temples. They were building only in the area of the Onega river, near the border with Arkhangelsk region. Their distinguishing feature was quite intricate roof reminding curved cube with small heads. See that Church can be in the Pomeranian village of the wyrm.
As for the peasant houses, their first feature - life. Most ordinary hut could stand for a whole century. The inhabitants of Northern areas of the house was a real complex of residential and business premises under a common roof. Thanks to this solution residents of the house could go into business premises without going outside, thereby saving valuable in Northern climate is warm. In the North, was taken to build a spacious hut with small Windows and narrow doors, which helped significantly reduce heat losses.
By the way, dwelling houses in the territory of Karelia varied depending on the district. Residents of Zaonezhye often built houses of the square form with asymmetrical roof, in a spoken language called «кошелями». The house is designed solely for people, and all the household premises were located in the outbuilding. Several of these houses are presented in the exposition of the Museum-reserve «Kizhi». Also on the whole territory of Karelia were built T-shaped houses and buildings, the economic part of which is adjoined to the living in one line.

Songs For Desert Refugees Richie Troughton , November 6th, 2012 12:58
Since Tinariwen broke through to western ears just over a decade ago during a more peaceful time in their Malian homeland, Saharan rebel rockers have become known for their electrictrifying music rather than the hitherto cliché of a 'guns and guitars' image. However, recent events in Mali are threatening the existence of the world famous Grammy winning superstars of African music along with many other emerging groups from the region, including Tamikrest and Bombino, who also feature on Songs For Desert Refugees.
In the north a "long-simmering Touareg rebellion has broken out into a full-fledged independence movement that's overtaken much of the region," the National Geographic reported in AprilM. "While in the capital, Bamako, renegade soldiers under the command of Captain Amadou Sanogo have staged a coup d'etat against the government of President Amadou Toumani Touré in late March, just a few weeks before democratic elections were scheduled to be held." Touré was forced to stand down on 23rd March, leaving the civilian population fearful and the economy depressed. This compilation has been released to provide support to those who have fled to refugee camps across the borders in Mauritania, Niger, Burkina Faso and Algeria.
Two of the desert rock movement's most internationally known stars, Tinariwen and Tamikrest, open Songs For Desert Refugees with comfortably familiar sounding unreleased tracks, while for many on this exceptional disc it is a chance to showcase their sounds to a wider audience. And fans of Touareg rock's leading lights will find plenty more to discover, from the relatively well known Tartit, Toumast and Terakaft to Amanar, youngsters Tadalat, Ibrahim Ojo Experience (featuring musicians from France), Nabil Baly Othmani (whose 'Teswa Ténéré' was recorded live in the desert), Etran Finatawa and Faris (an Ital-Algerian who performs with Terakaft). It's different, but similar, sweeping up swirls of sandy repetitious grooves. It is clear that Tinariwen have been a huge influence as others create their own fresh take on the formula of their elder brothers. The artists and groups featured mostly hail from Mali, also Algeria and Niger.
Agadez prodigy Bombino's live track 'Tigrawahi Tikma' clocks in at 13-plus minutes and is really allowed to stretch out. And the closer from Tartit, 'Tihou Beyatene' offers another side to desert workouts, with a female singer over a chanted and clapped percussive backdrop.
The nomadic Tinariwen (which aptly translates as 'empty place') have been playing in ever shifting incarnations for more than 30 years and open Songs For Desert Refugees with 'Amous Idraout Assoul dAlwa'. Guitarist and vocalist Abdullah Ag Alhousseyni told The Quietus' Ben Hewitt in 2009 his grandfather and father lived a "good life in the desert". Alhousseyni said: "There was water for them, and the herds were very big. My ancestors could travel to markets and salt mines to the north, west, east and south without too many hindrances. They were healthy and relatively secure. There was music, poetry, festivities. That's the life I remember when I was young too."
Droughts in the 1970s and 1984 "destroyed" this "happy situation" and were followed by a rebellion in 1990-91 against a government people had lost faith in. Since the Touareg-led National Movement for the Liberation of Azawad (NMLA) attacked military barracks in Menaka on 17th January, 2012, an estimated 220,000 individuals have had to flee from their homes in northern Mali. "Their opportunity was the demise of the Libyan dictator, Colonel Ghadafey, whose weapons gave the uprising its muscle and whose removal and death gave the NMLA a chance to reach its goals," writes Andy Morgan in the liner notes to this 12-track benefit album. "Ghadafey had previously managed to thwart any dreams of Touareg nationhood, whilst parading himself around as the protector of the Touareg people," he added. "And over the horizon looms drought, famine and a humanitarian crisis that looks set to rattle the most hardened hearts around the world."
This month Salon wrote that Islamists in northern Mali had recruited and paid for as many as 1,000 child soldiers from "rural towns and villages devastated by poverty and hunger." The report added: "a new generation in what was long a moderate and stable nation is becoming radicalised, as the Islamists gather forces to fight a potential military intervention backed by the United Nations. One 16-year-old said the Islamists offered his family up to $400 a month in exchange for his service."
Recently the situation has taken a sinister turn for the worse for Malian musicians, including those featured on Songs For Desert Refugees. Messages have been sent to musicians in Mali warning them to be quiet, or "disappear" and Western music was banned by official decree on 22nd August. The decree stated: "We don't want the music of Satan. Qur'anic verses must take its place. Sharia demands it." The punishments carried out under Sharia Law, including whipping and stoning, are shocking, yet these are the conditions people in Mali are living under. Instruments have been removed from homes that have then been set ablaze, in other cases there have been death threats and threats to cut off fingers that play guitar. Andy Morgan also reported in a recent dispatch on the conflict in Mali published by The Guardian that seven AK-47 wielding militiamen marched to the family of a musician in Kidal (a desert town in northern Mali home to several members of Tinariwen) and delivered a message to a family member that "if he ever shows his face in this town again, we'll cut off all the fingers he uses to play his guitar with." Different militant groups had taken over the region in April, sparking fears of a threat to all aspects of the area's culture. Malian rapper Amkoullel said of the music ban: "We don't need them to teach us how to be Muslims. We're a secular tolerant country where everyone declares their religion according to their feeling. And in any case, they know that a Mali without music is an impossibility."
The Quietus' review of most recent Tinariwen album Tassili said it included "protest songs written by people who have everything at stake in an uncertain world, as the result of ongoing conflicts could threaten the very existence of the restless Touareg people. In times like these Tinariwen's message is as relevant as ever." Now, more than ever. Other efforts by artists to support the people who have been displaced by the conflict include Khaira Arby, Vieux Farka Touré and more who have released a track calling for peace in Mali.
Proceeds from the sale of the Songs For Desert Refugees CD are to be distributed between refugee charities Toumadré and Etar, donations can also be sent via this website. The album also serves as a great primer for this most vibrant of current guitar-based musical scenes, as one of the world's richest traditions of spoken word and song comes under threat.

Q: How to explain Django/Python installation to Python-newbie running a shared IIS server For reasons beyond my control, our website is hosted with a hosting provider that uses IIS for their servers. They currently offer PHP and ASP, and also Python and Perl through cgi-scripts.
I want to do a re-design, re-write of our website, and want to change from PHP to a Python/Django setup. The hosting provider is open for suggestions, but are clear that "We don't really know what Python is, or how it works, but if you can explain it to us, we'll try to set you up with whatever you need".
However, I might know how to set up Django in a shared hosting environment on apache/mod_python, but I have no clue how it would be set up on IIS, and certainly not how it would be set up for a shared hosting environment. I've googled a bit, but most of the resources I find assume that the sysadmin 1) knows Python/Django and 2) is using dedicated IIS hosting for his site.
Could someone explain how I can explain the process to my hosting provider, or give me pointers to good, detailed resources I can forward to my hosting provider? Keep in mind that the people running the hosting might know "everything" about IIS, but have no idea how to deal with Python.

A: If you're stuck with using IIS, use PyISAPIe instead of CGI if you can.  Instructions and links for PyISAPIe are below.  Your web host will know a lot more about ISAPI extensions if they manage IIS than about Python, and they don't need to know much about Python with PyISAPIe.
A MUCH BETTER WAY OF DOING THIS IS USING PyISAPIe, AN ISAPI EXTENSION. PyISAPIe is much, much faster than CGI on IIS7. What this does is similar to mod_python on Apache.  The PyISAPIe project homepage has instructions for setting up Django with WSGI over PyISAPIe. This will bring your performance up to reasonable speeds for a public/high traffic website.

Setting up Django in an IIS+Python via CGI environment is going to be horribly slow for any production use. You should never use this for a website on which you expect to service more than a handful of requests per minute. It also limits you severely in what you can cache in memory in Django's caching framework, since the Django app's process is restarted with each new request.
In a sane web server like Apache, lighttpd, etc., with mod_python, the Python interpreter running the Django process remains in memory and is initialized with each new Apache worker thread that handles many requests over the course of time. This means that Python + Django are not exited and restarted for each new request. In a FastCGI setup, the web server (Apache or lighttpd for example) creates a socket (UNIX domain or TCP) across which it communicates with a FastCGI application (your Django web application) over the FastCGI protocol. Ditto for HTTP proxy setups (they speak HTTP instead of FastCGI). In a CGI environment, the Python interpreter is called which runs the Django application, completely anew for each request, so the application can not keep state across requests in memory and can't cache properly anywhere but in a database.
Enough ranting, if you must use IIS+CGI+Django, here's how to accomplish this horrible horrible thing: Use the following code to create your own CGI script which runs your Django app (it translates between CGI and WSGI). You'll have to edit the script a little to make it point to your Django app and code. That is the CGI script you would need to pass requests to. Next, you need to forward/rewrite all requests to your CGI script...
Under IIS6, you'll need a mod_rewrite equivalent like IISRewrite, which I think is not free and is closed source. Under IIS7, Microsoft finally included a URL rewriting module. Documentation for it is located here. Instructions for creating rewrite rules in IIS7 are here. You will want to forward everything at the target base URL to be handled by your CGI script.

A: How to set up Python on FastCGI on IIS
Here's how to set up Python on FastCGI IIS 7+ with opens the way for a decent DJango setup
... and be able to hook a debugger into the process enabling you to step through your Python code
This example doesn't use the IIS management console but lists the contents of the resulting configuration files
Step 1
Install Python + a good debugger (this example uses WingIDE which I found an excellent tool)
This example assumes folder c:\python27
Step 2
Create a web folder, eg on localhost c:\inetpub\wwwroot\mypythonfolder and put the following web.config file in it:

Note the | pipe character in the scriptProcessor directive. This is used by IIS to map the script to a fastCgi application (step 3).
It should match character by character the fullpath + pipe character + arguments settings from step 3 below.
Step 3
In the applicationHost.config file in c:\windows\system32\inetsrc\config folder place the following in the
 section:
    <fastCgi>
        <application fullPath="c:\python27\python.exe" arguments="c:\python27\lib\mylib\myfcgi.py" monitorChangesTo="C:\Python27\Lib\r4a\r4afcgi.py" stderrMode="ReturnStdErrIn500" maxInstances="4" idleTimeout="300" activityTimeout="300" requestTimeout="90" instanceMaxRequests="200" protocol="NamedPipe" queueLength="1000" flushNamedPipe="true" rapidFailsPerMinute="10" />
    </fastCgi>

Step 4
In c:\python27\lib\mylib\myfcgi.py put the following code:
import wingdbstub

import os, io, sys
ret = "environment:\r\n"
for param in os.environ.keys():
    ret = ret + "%s=%s\r\n" % (param,os.environ[param])
ret = ret + "\r\nArgs:"
for arg in sys.argv:
    ret = ret + arg
handle = io.open("c:\temp\myfcgi.log", 'wb')
handle.write(ret)
handle.close()
Step 5
Make sure IUSR has rights to write into your c:\temp folder
Step 6
Put wingdbstub.py and wingdebugpw into your c:\python27\lib\mylib\ folder. This will enable debugging in wingide. These files are provided with your wing installation.
Note: if Python also needs to compile your code into wingstub.pyc, IUSR needs write rights on that folder since the python process will be launched under that account by IIS
Step 6
Open wingdb and set a breakpoint on the 'import os, io, sys' line
Step 7
Hit in your browser http://localhost/mypythonfolder
If everything works correct, wingide should now be triggered to display the running code at your breakpoint. If not:
- either there's a firewall issue. The python process communicates with the WingIDE interface through a tcp connection
- or there's an issue with security within wingide. It needs the proper version of the wingdebugpw file, which basically contains a password or token that validates access against your wingide installation. If this were not the case, anybody with tcp access to your pc could debug against your code.
Step 8
Verify that in c:\temp the logfile is created. This should also work if you can't get step 7 going
Step 9
Note that this page triggers the debugger but does not return any page to the webbrowser. Some background: the webserver communicates fastcgi through so called 'records'. This means that each single user-request comes into your application packed in multiple separate 'records'. Each record is a data structure that indicates the beginning of a request, the querystring, post variables etc.
The un-packing of these records to a single request is kind of cumbersome, it follows the fastcgi specification of
http://www.fastcgi.com/devkit/doc/fcgi-spec.html#S1
As the content of c:\python27\lib\mylib\myfcgi.py I just dropped in a copy of zoofcgi.py provided by helicontech.
This python file is able to decode these records and serve a page and is quite interesting to debug.
Also note that helicontech optionally provides a dll that sits in between IIS and and zoofcgi.py but this dll is not strictly necessary.
I believe it implements a slightly improved and generic version of the fastcgi implementation that msft provides. However when you use their dll, when you want to step through your code the process is terminated rather quicly and IIS/the DLL kills your python process when it concludes no response is coming back within a sec or 2.
That's it. In principle the communication between IIS and your python code is done with named pipes. You should be able to set it up using tcp sockets but I wasn't able to figure out which port is used (I believe the stdin should be transformed into the port which then can be select() ed but I didn't give that any attempt)

A: I haven't tried this with Python, but it worked great as a CGI with Perl.  ActiveState's products integrate seemlessly with IIS.  I had great success with ActivePerl.  They also have ActivePython which might (probably) would also do the trick there.  Then I think you would just download Django install it.
EDIT:
Ok, so scratch the seemless integration with IIS...  HOWEVER, here's an article on how to integrate into IIS.  You might also consider Iron Python as your distro for a Windows box.
For the provider, I would doubt they need to know more than it is a web development platform like ASP / ASP.NET and that Python is the language used to develop with it.
As far as the installation I mention above, I'm going to try that and see how it fares.  I'll post notes on it if I get it working ok!

We are living in a time of great spiritual Infidelity.
At this time in Church history, Infidelity has come into the churches and infected many Christians, resulting in compromise with the present evil world.
Pastor Craig warns Christians that the time has come to stop the compromise and be separate from it. This means that churches must change.
We welcome you to come and fellowship at Victory Faith Centre, a Word and Spirit Church, in Geelong, Victoria, Australia.
Pastor Craig shows that the Church must have only one Bible and that God has preserved His words perfectly throughout history, even through the translation process.
Modern versionists must now repent of unbelief and forsake the usage of modern "bible" versions. Only the Authorized Version (the King James Bible) has the stamp of the Almighty God upon it.
(Reference books: "The Authorized King James Bible Connection" and "Why Faith Christians should only use the King James Bible" – both found on the Victory Faith Centre website.
Pastor Craig gives a message about the importance of the Church preaching the Word of God, and not to engage in wordly words to try to fill churches.
Pastor Craig gives a Biblical warning for the Church to engage the world as children of light, not as compromisers.


Confidence – I found a useful post on forbes.com. I have worked with a number of clients who have come to me feeling unhappy at work and suffering from lack of confidence. Beginning to understand just how competent they are really and how to be assertive (without being aggressive) has made a big difference to their lives. If you would like to discuss how I might be able to help you please get in touch.
There are many reasons you can lack confidence at work. Maybe you're in a job that requires skills you don't have, or you're less experienced than anyone around you. Or you're new to the company and feel uneasy about your ability to succeed. Or you feel threatened by colleagues, fear losing your job, or are simply too hard on yourself. Public humiliation and errors in judgment can also do the trick.

Champion regular events ended shortly after 4:30 PM when last regular events was tabulated. There were 3 rounds for OC and 2 rounds for PC. Round awards for both OC and PC events.
I congratulate Maureen, Annemarie and their Feis Committtee, the wonderful group of parents and all the friendly, knowledgable volunteers involved with this success.
My special thanks to Paul and Georgina Hurley for champ tabulation assistance throughout the day.


We just loved the colours and flowers that beautiful bride Grainne chose for her big day @The George Hotel Edinburgh. Mixing different textures really added that wow factor to her bridal bouquet of Amnesia Roses, Astilbe, Veronica's and Gypsophlia.
Wanting to stay away from the traditional tiered wedding cake Grainne and Justin decided to have a cupcake tower instead with a cutting cake on top. Who doesn't love a cupcake!!

SEDS Canada selects student finalists for microgravity and balloon flights

Since space experiments are expensive, much of the testing for the final frontier takes place on airplanes simulating microgravity, or balloons that fly high in the stratosphere.
Several student teams have the chance to run science experiments in these fields thanks to a collaboration between Students for the Exploration and Development of Space (SEDS)-Canada and the Canadian government.
"One of the big things [for SEDS] is inspiring the next generation of the Canadian space industry, people that will go on to guide the future of Canada in space," said Kristen Cote, SEDS-Canada projects chair, in a SpaceQ interview. "That includes, obviously, post-secondary students, but a big thing we're trying to do [in the future] is get high school students to go."
The Canadian Reduced Experiment Design Challenge (RGX) will see four sets of post-secondary students submit their ideas for testing on board the National Research Council of Canada's (NRC) Falcon 20 research aircraft. The finalists are uO Rocketry (University of Ottawa) to examine antibiotics in microgravity, Team Phi-Six (Thompson Rivers University) to look at the forces between salt particles in microgravity, UBC Rocketry (University of British Columbia) to learn about microbial fuel cell behaviour in various gravity environments, and UAlberta Space Design Group (UASDG) from the University of Alberta is investigating gene expression of bio-engineered cartilage tissue in microgravity for applications in both astronaut health and improvement of outcomes of knee osteoarthritis treatment on Earth.
"The importance of RGX is to get the students excited about this unique experience by guiding them through the whole engineering design cycle, and getting to interact with people from the Canadian Space agency and NRC," Cote explained. Depending on availability of the Falcon 20, the competition may be based out of Calgary for the first time – but that is still to be determined. Cote is hoping that will happen given that three of the finalist teams are from western provinces of Canada.
The Canadian Stratospheric Balloon Experiment Design Challenge (SBX) invites students to fly a small scientific experiment on a balloon provided by the Canadian Space Agency. The finalists are Western U Balloon Team (University of Western Ontario) to examine ionizing radiation on organic compounds, and Team NEUDOSE-HAB (McMaster University) to detect high-energy charged and neutral particles in space.
"The big push behind this year's competition is getting students involved with the organizational aspects," Cote said. "Who do you need to call to set up a balloon flight, how do you get this to happen, what does the countdown look like, what things do we have to consider for the launch and tracking and recovery."
About 250 students have participated in the two experiments (including this year's iteration), with 200 of those participating in RGX since its foundation in 2017, and the remainder in SBX since its foundation in 2018. SEDS plans to continue expanding the reach of both competitions in 2021 and beyond, with more frequent competitions for SBX and recruiting Maritime provinces for RGX.
In the far future, SEDS may consider using a private company's educational program to make their competitions more frequent, or larger. One example could be the program offered by Toronto's Luna Design and Innovation Inc., a contractor for Blue Origin's New Shepard spacecraft. But this would be done at some point beyond 2021, Cote said.
Update: The story has been updated to include the University of Alberta as a finalist in the RGX Challenge.

Good catch. The author has updated the story.


I see we have similar interests. I was rethinking my lantern gears, which have worn after 6 years of operation, and encountered your gear generator. Thanks! In the clock you see below, I decided that only one tooth needed to be engaged at a time. This means that you only need the bottom mm or so of the wheel gear bearing surface. Because the surface is so short I figured that a flat profile was sufficient. The clock seems to work just fine, except for wear. I would be interested to hear your thoughts.

Fruits Basket is the number one shoujo manga in America to date. In Japan, it ranks at number two, bested only by Boys Over Flowers. The best way to explain its popularity is to quote the editor's note that is contained in the first volume: "Fruits Basket is not an ordinary manga." The note goes on to describe that the series is full of drama, comedy, romance, magic, and a special ingredient that you have to discover for yourself. I believe that this "special ingredient" is a little different for everyone. More specifically, many topics are addressed in the series and different ones touch different hearts in different ways. I'm personally convinced that this "ingredient" is why Fruits Basket has gained worldwide acclaim.Fruits Basket is a story composed of many smaller stories-the stories of each individual character. Because of this, the point of view in the manga changes pretty often and the plot skips around between different characters as they develop, but ultimately each story ties back to the main plotline. This can be a little annoying when one really wants to know what happens next with a certain character, but the character transitions also keep one interested and prevent the story from dragging. The topics Fruits Basket addresses are usually very deep and serious, but mixed in is enough comic relief to keep the reader from getting depressed.
Characterization in Fruits Basket is so strong that there simply can't be many characters that one doesn't have a strong opinion about. They are extremely realistic. Personally, I can imagine (and would love) running into people such as the aloof Kureno, the outwardly childish Momiji, the enigmatic Shigure, as well as everyone else. Every reader will recognize each character instantly as someone that could actually exist. However, there are several minor flaws with some of the characters. For instance, I feel that Machi doesn't have enough development to live up to her more important role in the later portion of the story. The Tohru-Yuki-Kyo love triangle also grows old and makes one anxious eventually. Another common opinion is that there are a certain few scenes that seem out of the blue- they don't seem to match the particular characters' personalities at all, and they don't make much sense within their individual storyline. Finally, I feel that some pairings were focused upon too much, whereas others weren't focused on enough. All in all, the characters are very well- designed and only a few minor details really need to be fixed.
Fruits Basket's strong points, its themes, its tone, and its characters really come together in the final volume, during which I cried, and I can't even name another book or movie that's ever made me cry. Anyone can relate to this manga, because surely everyone has felt lonely, depressed, passionate, afraid, weak, humorous, or any other strong emotion at some point. The manga dives so deeply into so many emotions that I don't see how one cannot be moved by it. There are so many lessons that I've learned from the characters– Yuki taught me to be strong and push forward; he taught me that even the shy and awkward can gain confidence. Ayame taught me how to truly laugh at the insanity of the world. The list goes on and on. I believe that everyone should pick Fruits Basket up to see what it can teach them.
Natsuki Takaya's artwork is quite stunning as a whole, and it appeals to both genders. While it is indeed a shoujo manga, her characters aren't overwhelmingly cute, so plenty of guys are still comfortable with the art. The artwork has just the right amount of a shoujo touch in it though so that girls are also satisfied. My only complaint is that some of her faces look awkward from time to time, but other than that, her artwork is nearly impeccable.
Fruits Basket is at the top of the shoujo manga charts because its plot is rich and flowing and the characters are ones that the reader could encounter in the real world. The multiple themes of the story explore a vast variety of emotions and situations that nearly everyone will be able to relate to. The artwork is also appealing to the eye. Everyone should give Fruits Basket a shot because all of the essential factors of a great manga have been nearly perfectly achieved within its pages.

Korea tensions over claims that warship was sunk by torpedo

A South Korean navy ship was sunk yesterday in what was feared to have been a torpedo attack by a North Korean submarine.
Several of the 104 crew were killed and others were missing last night.
The drama, close to the disputed sea border between the two Koreas, raised concern that growing tensions between them could escalate into conflict.

North Korea had earlier threatened ' unprecedented strikes', including nuclear attacks, against its neighbour and the U.S., claiming they were planning to topple the regime of Kim Jong-il.
Relations between the two have also come under strain recently with disputes over cross-border tourism and a joint economic zone.
There are fears in the South that the North is becoming increasingly erratic and dangerous.
As ships and helicopters searched the scene of the sinking for survivors last night, South Korean President Lee Myung-bak convened an emergency meeting of security ministers in Seoul.
The incident happened in the Yellow Sea near Baeknyeong Island, the westernmost point of South Korea and a key military post.
The South Korean ship, the 1,200-ton corvette Cheonan, was on a routine patrol when it was hit by an explosion close to its stern.
There were reports that it had earlier fired warning shots at an object to the north.
But South Korean officials played down the initial reports of military action, saying they had no evidence of North Korean forces in the area.
They said the Cheonan could have fired its warning shots at a distant flock of birds which had produced an image on its radar.
Senior government officials later told South Korean media the ship could have struck a rock or been hit by an explosion on board.
Six naval ships and two coastguard vessels rushed to the scene and the defence ministry said later that 58 of the corvette's crew had been rescued. Two had to be airlifted for emergency medical treatment.
North Korea warned recently that it was increasing its defences in response to joint South Korean-US military exercises earlier this month. It had declared four naval firing zones near the sea border, deploying multiple rocket launchers. Two of the zones are in the Yellow Sea.

North Korea has never recognised the sea border drawn unilaterally by the U.S.-led United Nations Command at the end of the 1950-53 Korean War.
The Yellow Sea was the scene of naval battles in 1999 – when 17 North Korean sailors died – and 2002 when four South Korean sailors and at least 30 North Koreans died.
Last November the two navies fought a brief gun battle that left one North Korean sailor dead and three others wounded. A North Korean ship was left in flames.
In January North Korea fired artillery into the disputed zones at a time of mounting international pressure to re-start talks over its nuclear ambitions. Some analysts say the firing zones – and recent escalation of military activity – may be a way of strengthening its hand in any talks.
In 2002, the then U.S. President George Bush named North Korea in an 'axis of evil' alongside Iraq and Iran. But the Pyongyang regime was defiant and the following year claimed it had enough plutonium for nuclear bombs.
In 2006 North Korea test-fired a long-range missile and last year claimed it had carried out an underground nuclear test, prompting protests from the U.S., Russia and China.

KOREA, HALF A CENTURY OF CONFLICT
At the end of the Second World War, Korea was a united country under Japanese occupation.
But after Japan's defeat, the island was effectively split with Soviet troops occupying the north and American forces in the south.
The stage was set for a long-running and bitter confrontation between the capitalist west and the communist forces of Russia.
In 1948, leaders in the north proclaimed the Democratic People's Republic of Korea and the Soviets withdrew. Two years later, the south declared independence. North Korea invaded.
The ensuing war lasted three years, left two million dead and laid waste to the country's economy and infrastructure.
Hostilities finally ceased when the two sides agreed to a three-mile buffer zone between the two states.
But despite the ceasefire, sporadic hostilities continued , the two tiny countries fighting a bitter offshoot of the Cold War in a remote and neglected corner of the world.
The south – propped up by the Americans – thrived. However, the north has had a far rockier history.
Originally ruled by Kim Il-song, the country's supreme leader is now his son Kim Jong-il.
Whereas his father had abided by the terms of the 1953 ceasefire, his successor reneged.
In 1996, against a backdrop of devastating famine, Kim Jong-il announced he was sending troops into the demilitarised zone
In 2002, George W Bush named North Korea as part of an 'axis of evil' alongside other 'rogue' states such as Iraq and Iran.
But Kim Jong-il was not deterred. Instead, Pyongyang made regular announcements on its arsenal and in July 2003 claimed it had enough plutonium to start making nuclear bombs.
In 2006, North Korea test-fired a long-range missile. Relations with the West deteriorated again last year when neighbours accused the country of carrying out another long-range missile test.
Pyongyang, however, claimed the rocket under scrutiny was carrying a communications satellite.
Later last year, the country admitted it had carried out its second underground nuclear test, prompting protest from the US, China and Russia.
And while the nuclear brinkmanship continued, there were regular spats with South Korea over border incursions and hostile intent.
The sea boundary has been the cause of particular tension in the last few months. South Korea claims the north has designated four areas as military firing zone and deployed four rocket launchers close to the sea in response.
Although South Korea still recognises the Northern Limit Line, which was drawn up in 1953, the north has never accepted the boundary.
