Welcome to my ultimate 2600 Atari 2600 programming tutorial with a sample example that would work not only on an Atari 2600 emulator such as Stella, but also work on a real Atari 2600 if you have the right tools to extract onto a real cartridge.
Now before you begin. You would need to learn basic 6502 assembly. Now before you walk away and be like "screw that", it's actually easier than you think. Much easier. Just looks a wee bit different than what you commonly program on. I too was turned off into learning it as well until I grew some balls and dived into it, only to find it was a lot of fun. So without further a due, lets dive in shall we.
6502 assembly, believe it or not, was designed for the MOS6502 chip found commonly in old hardware, such as the Apple II, Commodor 64, the Amiga 500, Atari 2600, the Nintendo Entertainment System, etc. It was invented in 1975 and is still used today by hobbyist and homebrewers. At the time, the MOS6502 chip was considered to be the cheapest CPU, and as a result was widely used by computer manufacturers to cut costs. The language itself consists of 56 opcodes and 13 address modes. It also has built in registers such as A (which is an Accumulator), X, and Y. A is commonly used for arithmetic, whereas X and Y is used for counting.
What is an opcode?:
An opcode is an instruction, or to be more precise, a built in method. For example, if you want to load the value of 1 into the A register (which looks like this A = 1 in plain English), you would use the instruction LDA #1. LDA stands for Load Accumulator with a value. The # symbol means you are putting a number there. If you use LDA #$01, it would load 1 as a hexidecimal number. If you use LDA #%00000001, it would load 1 as a binary number. The accumulator (A) is only 8 bits wide. Which means you can only use values between 0 - 255 or 0 - FF or 00000000 - 11111111. This is considered loading the accumulator immediately, and uses the immediate address mode.
Another thing you can do with LDA is load the accumulator with a value from memory. For example you can do LDA $80. Assuming theres a value at that memory location, you are storing the accumulator (A) with a value from the memory address $0080. The amount of memory you can access is 64k wide or $0000 to $FFFF. Some are reserved for certain effects depending on the hardware or even software. So you can load important information such as a random number generated, or what pixel color is being stored, etc. $00-$FF is considered to be a zero page address, where as using $0100-$FFFF is considered to be an absolute address.
Wow thats a lot of information on just one opcode! Are there anymore?:
Yes there are. 55 more to be exact, but we are only gonna use commonly 10 with these tutorials. Another important opcode would be STA, which means to Store the accumulator value to a particular memory address. For example,
This means you are loading the accumulator with the value of 1, and storing that value into the memory location $0200. Now you get to play with these two opcodes on a particular website! Because this will actually plot a white pixel onto the screen. Address $0200 to $05FF will be the entire screen. Their built in assembler has a killer debugger as well so you can see whats going on line by line.Code:LDA #$01 STA $0200
This website will introduce you to more opcodes, and more address modes to those opcodes. But like I said before, you will commonly be using 10 commonly.
How the heck do I create 16 bit numbers if I'm only limited to 8 bits?:
This is when things get interesting. You would have to use 2 memory addresses next to each other in order to create bigger numbers. For example, if you want to create the number in hex #$500 and make it into a memory address where you can store a value into, you would do this:
This will plot a pixel at $0500 on screen. But whats this indirect part mean? Indirect Addressing is a little different, but it was a way to access the 16 bit world. We actually just converted a 16 bit number into a real memory address by combing two 8 bit numbers (lower and upper) and put a value there so a pixel appears on screen. With this, you have to wrap the address with parenthesis () if you are using Indirect Addressing Y. If it's X, you would wrap the whole thing. For example STA ($00, X). If you were to just use STA $00 instead of STA ($00), Y, it would do nothing because $00 is still an 8 bit zero page address location. Not the 16 bit location we just created. See for yourself on the emulator on the website.Code:LDA #$00 ;Store the value #$00 into the accumulator STA $00 ;Store the accumulator's value into memory location $00 LDA #$05 ;Store the value #$05 into the accumulator STA $01 ;Store the accumulator's value into memory location $01 LDY #00 ;Store the value #$00 into the Y register LDA #$01 ;Load the value #$01 into the accumulator (color white) STA ($00), Y ;Indirectly store #$01 into the memory location $0500 we ;created earlier on top!
You also noticed there's another new opcode you see here such as LDY. And it pretty much does the same thing as LDA only it loads the Y register with a value. And you can guess there's also a LDX. But did you know there's also a STX $(memory location) and a STY $(memory location)? You guessed it! STX stores the value of X into a given memory location and STY stores the value of Y into a given memory location. Way to go! You just learned LDA, LDX, LDY, STA, STX, and STY. Now for some arithmetic functions!
Seriously, how do I do math stuff!
There are a very limited number of math functions in the 6502 assembly unfortunately, as you can only add, subtract, increment, decrement, and, and or. If you want multiplication, division, square root, sin, cos, etc., they would need to be manually programmed. And theres plently of code online that shows you how.
ADC is a commonly used opcode for addition, and stands for add with carry. Carry is one of the flags of the 6502 processor and is only set if the accumulator is over 255. For example, if you do this on this website:
The accumulator will now be 3. But if you do this:Code:LDA #$01 ADC #$02
The accumulator would be 1, yet the carry flag is set. Because it exceeded 255 and started back at the beginning.Code:LDA #$FF ADC #$02
SBC does the same thing only it subtracts instead of adds.
INX increments X by one.
INY increments Y by one.
DEX decrements X by one.
DEY decrements Y by one.
TAX transfers the value of A into X. Like X = A
TAY transfers the value of A into Y. Like Y = A
TXA transfers the value of X into A. Like A = X
TYA transfers the value of Y into A. Like A = Y
Now that you understand that, its time to learn sub routines!
How do I make subs?:
A sub label is needed to make a sub, and marks a program counter location that can be jumped into any time. For example. Lets take a look at our funky indirect addressing example again, only this time were gonna make a loop!:
Now run the code on the website. Whoa!!! Did you see that?!! You flooded a good part of the screen from $0500 to $05FF over and over again. You notice there is a JMP command there that jumps to any sub routine label you desire. This comes in handy for placing multiple subs into a loop like so:Code:LDY #00 ;Store the value #$00 into the Y register MyLoop: LDA #$00 STA $00 LDA #$05 STA $01 LDA #$01 STA ($00), Y INY JMP MyLoop
Pretty cool isn't it?Code:LDX #$00 LDY #$00 JMP MyLoop MySub1: ;Do stuff here INX MySub2: ;Do stuff here INY MyLoop: JMP MySub1 JMP MySub2 JMP MyLoop
Ok, but what about IF statements ?:
Now you are gonna learn about a couple compare commands and branch commands. Compare commands compare if the value matches a specific register, and branch commands act on it whether they are equal, not equal, less than, or greater than. Think of the compare command as the IF, and the branch command as the act, which is a jump to a particular sub routine.
CMP compares the value to the accumulator. For example, CMP #$05. You can also compare memory address values, such as CMP $0200.
CPX compares the value to the X register. Pretty much nearly the same as above with the X register.
CPY compares the value to the Y register. Pretty much nearly the same as above with the Y register.
BEQ (Sub Label) jumps to a particular sub if the previous compare statement is equal to the value from the compare statement.
BNE (Sub Label) jumps to a particular sub if the previous compare statement is NOT equal to the value from the compare statement.Code:LDX #$00 MySub: INX CPX #05 BEQ MyOtherSub JMP MySub MyOtherSub: TXA
Now things are bout to get weird. Cause there are signed and unsigned numbers in 6502 believe it or not, but the combination of certain opcodes will test if they are less than, greater than, less than or equal to, and greater than or equal to. Assuming you have two subs HERE and THERE, here is how to do these using other branch opcodes:Code:LDX #$00 MySub: INX CPX #05 BNE MySub MyOtherSub: TXA
Thats it for the basics!!! You are just nearly a step away from making Atari 2600 games! The next examples in later tutorials will be the actual demos well be making, which is why this is located in the Demos page!Code:For unsigned numbers -------------------------- Operator < : BCC THERE Operator = : BEQ THERE Operator > : BEQ HERE BCS THERE Operator <= : BCC THERE BEQ THERE Operator >= : BCS THERE For signed numbers -------------------------- Operator < : BMI THERE Operator = : BEQ THERE Operator > : BEQ HERE BPL THERE Operator <= : BMI THERE BEQ THERE Operator >= : BPL THERE

Canucks lay an egg, kick-start new goalie debate in lop-sided loss (with goalie poll)
Minus Ryan Kesler and David Booth to start the new NHL season, the Vancouver Canucks were concerned about their second line. They likely never dreamed goaltending would be an issue. It was a big one Saturday, however, as new starter Cory Schneider and old starter Roberto Luongo both sprung leaks and the Canucks were humiliated 7-3 by the Anaheim Ducks before the 408th consecutive sellout at Rogers Arena.
VANCOUVER — "@NHL #Canucks fans, are you ready to see Cory Schneider as No. 1 in net? #hockeyisback."
"@Strombone1 Can't wait!!!!"
This was on Friday, Roberto Luongo's social media persona responding — in character, playing the good-humour man — to the teaser sent out by the National Hockey League's official Twitter account.
How soon they forget.
Saturday night, late in a day of ceremonies and welcome-backs around the NHL, the Vancouver Canucks ran general manager Mike Gillis and captain Henrik Sedin out to centre ice at Rogers Arena to thank the faithful for their patience and loyalty and to call them the best fans in professional sports — and then pooped the bed, losing 7-3 to the Anaheim Ducks, who are hardly anyone's pick to make the playoffs.
And Schneider lasted 26 minutes and 37 seconds. Oh, dear.
It wasn't the only egg laid on opening day, by any means.
The Montreal Canadiens did the torch thing, passing it from legend to legend to legend (give or take Vincent Damphousse) — Yvan Cournoyer, Henri Richard, Jean Beliveau and finally to captain Brian Gionta — one of those patented Montreal heart-tuggers that only the Habs can pull off in their home cathedral.
And then lost to the Maple Leafs, and looked awfully pedestrian doing it.
The Los Angeles Kings handed out the Stanley Cup rings, passed the Cup around, shone the spotlight on the new banner in the Staples Center rafters to join all the ones belonging to the Lakers — and then got slapped around by the Chicago Blackhawks.
But the Canucks' egg was big enough to have been laid by an ostrich.
Just to clarify, it wasn't Gillis who soiled himself in the Canucks' curtain-raiser Saturday, it was his hockey club, although you never know how the boss's innards were behaving while the designated No. 1, Schneider, was getting ventilated for five goals on 14 shots, forcing Alain Vigneault to tap old @Strombone1 on the shoulder at 6:37 of the second period and send him in on a hopeless rescue mission.
"How did it look?" Vigneault said, to a query about his starting goaltender's evening. "You know, he tried hard. You're going to get nights like that."
The fans, who had booed liberally as the score mounted, greeted Luongo like a long-lost son, roaring their approval from the moment he doffed his baseball cap and plopped the mask on the top of his head until he sprinted to the net, reaching a top-end speed rarely glimpsed before.
As with Manti Te'o and his non-existent dead girlfriend, you can't make this stuff up.
"It was disappointing for everybody. I really wasn't expecting to go in," said Luongo, who didn't want to make too much of the switch, or of Schneider's abortive debut.
"The kid's got a tremendous amount of talent, I'm not worried about him at all. It's one game. He's so strong mentally, he'll have no problem bouncing back."
Still, think of the irony.
Luongo, almost everyone agreed, should have been traded long ago.
Those fans and media who didn't believe that Gillis had overplayed his hand by waiting for the perfect offer that probably never would arrive nonetheless wrote off his standard responses — "Roberto Luongo is one of the premier goalies in hockey, and we're not going to give him away" and "We have two great goaltenders; I don't see how that's a problem" — as understandable attempts at self-preservation. To cover the possibility that he had ... well, overplayed his hand.
And then Schneider's debut as the unquestioned first-string backstop blew up spectacularly — aided and abetted, in fairness, by his teammates — and Gillis, once the shock wore off, must have been thinking: "On the bright side, Roberto's still here, and we might be needing him."
Man's a genius.
"You know what, it doesn't matter what market I'm in," Schneider said of the daily circus around the goaltending situation. "If I played this way, it would be unacceptable anywhere in the world. You have to be accountable and responsible and you have to perform and produce, and tonight I didn't perform or produce — and that's on me."
To recount all the ways the various shots eluded Schneider and, in his turn, Luongo would be to belabour the obvious: the Canucks were awful, as they often seem to be against the Ducks, who haven't lost a regulation-time game to the Canucks at Rogers Arena in nearly three years now.
No Canucks team in 41 previous home openers — and that includes some pretty horrific teams — had ever given up seven goals. These Canucks did, at a time when they're trying to convince potential trading partners that they have goaltenders to spare, or at least one.
It's too early to say they're wrong about that.
But not too early to worry.

The International Space Station's 3-D printer has manufactured a printhead faceplate, engraved with names of the organizations that collaborated on this space station technology demonstration: NASA and Made In Space, Inc. It is the first 3-D printed object in space.
The first objects built in space will be returned to Earth in 2015 for detailed analysis and compared with the identical ground control samples made on the flight printer prior to launch. The goal of this analysis is to verify that the 3-D printing process works the same in microgravity as it does on Earth.
The printer works by extruding heated plastic, which then builds layer upon layer to create three-dimensional objects. Long-term missions would benefit greatly from onboard manufacturing capabilities. Data and experience gathered in this demonstration will improve future 3-D manufacturing technology and equipment for the space program, allowing a greater degree of autonomy and flexibility for astronauts. This capability may decrease cost and risk on the station – critical when space explorers venture far from Earth and will create an on-demand supply chain for needed tools and parts.

Time for the last step of our goal setting series – setting TIME-BASED goals. We have made our goals more specific, measurable, attainable, and realistic so now we have to make a timeframe for them. Any goal worth making needs a cut off date. We all know that we are better at reaching goals when they have a deadline.
So with our weight loss example, we need to pick a timeframe that works for the amount of weight we would like to lose. Think about this in terms of 1-2 pounds per week as normal, typical, and healthy. If you want to lose 30 – 50 pounds that means you're looking at 6 – 12 months instead of saying it's going to be accomplished in 3 months, etc. This allows us to make sure we meet goals or get close in a reasonable amount of time.
With the marathon example, you need to make sure to pick a deadline that makes sense and allows for you to train properly. This will be dependent on your own fitness level starting out, etc. Just make sure that regardless of what your goal is that you make sure you pick a timeframe that allows for a true lifestyle change, not just a quick fix! Quick fixes pay off in the short term but many times we end up right back where we started and needing to start over and try a different way so keep working towards that progress, not perfection and keep pushing.
Stick to your goals and keep working! New series coming up next week so stay posted!

A sticky sweet indoctrination
Mennonites have different opinions as to what a shoofly pie ought to be like. There have been many an intense conversation (but I'll wager nobody's come to blows over it because it's not generally our custom to knock the daylights out of each other) over whether or not the pie ought to be wet or dry, dark or light. I hail from the wet-and-dark (but not too dark) camp. I like my pies to have noteworthy goo levels, as well as a pronounced molasses flavor. But those are just my preferences—I'll eat and enjoy any shoofly pie.
My husband, Catholic that he is (or rather, was), does not like shoofly. This mortifies me, but I've tried to play it cool. I don't bake shoofly pie all that often, and when I do and he only takes a small piece (shame! shame!), I try not to burn him at the stake for it. (Like his ancestors did to my ancestors, I might add.) (Though I don't think they were being burned for eating too much shoofly pie.) But now we have children and I've discovered that if I don't train my children up in the way of shoofly pie, nobody will. It is my duty to cultivate their Mennonite taste buds.
Here's how the molasses training has gone down so far. We've got ginger cookies down pat. They like them in any form, soft and chewy, crisp and crinkly. But Mr. Handsome likes those, too, so the cookies don't really count. Gingerbread is trickier; almost everyone will eat it, but they're not crazy about it. But shoofly pie? Here's where it gets dicey. Yo-Yo will eat it, Miss Beccaboo kind of will, Sweetsie won't, and The Baby Nickel positively adores it (that's my baby).
This past week I decided it was time to buckle down and solve the problem once and for all. I decided to approach the problem from a different angle—instead of shoofly pie, I'd try to snucker them in with shoofly cake. I made one recipe that touted itself as a shoofly cake but was nothing of the sort—it was just a gingerbread with crumbs on top. Good, but not the cake I was looking for. Then I called my brother, a shoofly afficionado, and after a bit of discussion involving two recipes he had in his files, plus some tweaking of my own, I created The Shoofly Cake Of My Dreams: buttery bottom crust that turns soft in spots and chewy crispy in others, a supremely gooey middle, and a moist, cake-y top.
Since the recipe makes a big pan, it's the perfect recipe for molasses indoctrination. My methods are rather traditional, with a touch of charismatic flair. I serve the cake after meals, with lots of whipped cream (that's the traditional part). I make no fuss if they don't like it, but I do allow for seconds (that's still traditional, I think). I eat it voraciously, sighing and moaning with pleasure and smiling most favorably upon the other appreciative eaters (that's the flair part).
So far my ploy hasn't worked, but fear not, I am not dismayed. Opportunities for making and eating shoofly cake abound. I may gain a little extra padding in the process, but really, what's a couple pounds when I'm winning souls for shoofly? In these cases, it's important to keep my priorities straight.
And she shall rise up, a shoofly cake in one hand and a bowl of whipped cream in the other! And verily, they shall say to each other, We best partake of the cake, lest this woman stuff it in our faces. And they shall eat and be satisfied. And she shall show them mercy and make apple pie for a change of pace.
The end, and amen.
One further note, or rather, a question (or two or five):
*Are there any Mennonites out there who don't like shoofly?
*Are there any non-Mennonites out there who grew up with shoofly?
*Is there anyone out there (Mennonite, Hindu, or otherwise) who did not grow up with shoofly and liked it the first time they tasted it?
*Is anyone even out there???
If you've never tasted shoofly, then you know what to do: make the cake, find out what you think, and check back in with your response. Pretty please? The curiosity is killing me. (If you're overwhelmed by the sheer magnitude of the cake, just halve it. The only tricky part is the one egg bit, but if you turn the egg on its side and whack it quick with a sharp knife, it splits evenly down the middle—it's an old Mennonite trick.)
Shoofly Cake
Adapted from two recipes my brother had in his recipe box
A note about the syrups: The recipe calls for two cups of syrup; I use half molasses and half of some other thick syrup. You can use different proportions—less molasses and more thick syrup, or the other way around—depending on how much of a love relationship you have with molasses. Do not use blackstrap molasses (unless you're sure you want to).
2 1/4 cups brown sugar
2 sticks butter
2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup molasses
1 cup King syrup (or light corn syrup)
1 egg, beaten
2 cups boiling water
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
accompaniment: whipped cream
Using your hands, blend together the butter, brown sugar, and flours till you have a sandy, crumbly mixture. Set aside two cups of the crumbs to use for the topping. Press the remaining crumbs firmly (but not too firmly—I pressed mine down fairly hard, then raked the uppermost part of the crust with a fork to loosen the crumbs back up and then lightly pressed them down again) into the bottom of a greased 9 x 13 pan.
Thoroughly combine the molasses, syrup, and beaten egg. Add the boiling water, salt, and baking soda and stir well. Pour the liquid mixture over the crust. Sprinkle the reserved crumbs over top.
Bake the cake at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes. Because the bottom part remains gooey, it does no good to check it with a toothpick—you'll know it's done when the top is set and the cake is pulling away from the edges of the pan just a bit.
Serve warm or at room temperature, with plenty of whipped cream.

I don't know which (if any) questions this answers, but I grew up Mennonite (in Iowa), but never tasted shoofly pie until college. I don't think I liked it the first time I tried it, but I think the version I tried was too dry and tasteless. I've had it since then (but only a couple times), and I'm pretty sure I liked it. I love molasses and I love pie, so perfect combo!ReplyDelete
I am Mennonite. I have always liked shoofly pie. As an adult, I have discovered I prefer shoofly cake. I have a recipe we love, but your version above appears to resemble true shoofly pie more than my cake recipe.ReplyDelete
A side note: I've never had shoofly with whipped cream on top. Interesting:-).
A side question: How in the world can you bake up so many sweets and not have to roll yourself from room to room?!
Cake looks amazing!ReplyDelete
To answer your questions from my own experience:
My Episcopalian boyfriend, who did not grow up with shoofly pie, loved it the first time I made it.
My Jewish housemates, who did not grow up with shoofly pie, loved it the first time, too. They even needed the recipe. But most non-Mennonites I've served politely avoid it.
I'm sure I know Mennonites who don't like shoofly pie, but maybe they're shy about it around me!
I'm Mennonite! I'm out here!ReplyDelete
I found your blog off of my good friend Valerie's blog (the More with Less one) and have been enjoying reading about your cooking, family and adventures in life.
I grew up eating Shoofly pie although my mother rarely made it. My next door neighbor always made a to-die-for shoofly pie every year for us for Christmas. I don't typically eat it with whip cream but rather with icecream or just plain with a nice cup of coffee. I am definitely a fan of the dark goey pie and don't even mess around wasting calories on a dry cakey one.
I have some molasses sitting around that needs to be used and think I may just make a shoofly pie this evening. I live in the DRCongo and know that no one here has had it before, so I just may need to invite the neighbors over for a taste!
Thanks for the inspiration.

I'll confess. I'm Mennonite. And I really, really do not like shoofly pie. Shelby loves it, so he bakes it for himself (and for the Relief Sale most years). And only one of our kids likes it so far--not a great track record. It's probably my fault. /sigh
I'm a Mennonite (probably of the kind your aforementioned Grandfather was).ReplyDelete
I don't like shoofly pie.
You may eat my portion today. Thank you.

(I'm the wife of an AMBS student, a former BCHS and GC student, therefore, I too can play the Mennonite Game and the acronym game and come from a looooong liniage of Amish and Mennonites. :)
I never had shoofly pie until just a few years ago. I love it. I love molasses cookies (which I grew up with) and I love molasses in most any forms. And I'm going to love this cake once I make it, I'm sure of it!
Thanks for sharing your blog! -erin

I'm a West Coast heathen, never baptized into any religion - but I did do three years hard time at Catholic High School. I never even HEARD of shoo fly pie until I was an adult.
I've still never had it, but want to try it, and maybe now I will. I always thought pecan pie would be better without the pecans, and thought (hoped) maybe that's what shoo fly pie was like?

I am Mennonite and I DO NOT LIKE SHOOFLY PIE! I did not grow up with it (I grew up a GC Mennonite, so there!) and did not like the first time I tried it. I do not like it for breakfast. I do not like it for dessert. Not with a fox, not in a box! I DO NOT LIKE IT, Sam I am!ReplyDelete
However, having said all that, I DO like molasses and I DO like whip cream, so I just MAY like shoofly CAKE. I'll have to try it sometime and let you know!
I'm not a Mennonite and I have never had shoo fly pie... but I have OCD... does that count for anything? I was thinking about making this but then decided to save myself some time & instead will add it to my ever growing list of "to do/to eat" things while in Virginia...See what you've gotten yourself into?ReplyDelete

If you really want to play the Mennonite game (or not) explain how some of your first cousins are also your third cousins.ReplyDelete
Did I miss the joke or am I ignorant about how a Mennonite splits an egg in half.
I along with all my clan just love shoofly pie. Except for the baby that is. I didn't grow up eating it though.

I was raised Baptist in a Catholic/Jewish neighborhood. Needless to say, my life adventured into some interesting food concoctions and I don't have a problem tasting just about anything served on a dish. During a 27-year sojourn in Georgia I ran into shoofly pie several times in several variations. I honestly appreciated each one. But then, I'm a molasses addict.ReplyDelete
While I'm here I have to say that your blog has a very calming, feet-back-in-reality effect on me. I'm glad you write almost every day. Don't give up. You never know who's lurking and gleaning.
Well, the sugar in the shoofly sure did bring out the sweetness in you all. Such kind comments---thank you! And to all you new people, thanks bunches for speaking up---one of the best parts of blogging is learning who my readers are.ReplyDelete
I am relieved to learn that people can learn to like shoofly---I will continue with the molasses indoctrination of my progeny.
You who never ate shoofly with whipped cream? You poor, deprived souls! Whipped cream is PERFECT with shoofly.
Aunt Valerie, You mean to tell me you don't cut your eggs in half like that? What's wrong with you? Where WERE you when they taught the lesson on egg splicing?
Tori, Pecan pie without the pecans would be just like shoofly pie ... but without the molasses. Add molasses to a pecanless pecan pie, and you're getting close (but minus the cake-y part). Are you following me?
I am Mennonite, all the ancestors whose names can be known were Mennonite and yet I didn't grow up with shoofly pie, though I knew what it was and liked it, preferably dark and moist. Truth be told, I didn't grow up with very many pies at all, since my mom disliked making pie crusts.ReplyDelete
As for me, I am SURE that I like shoofly pie with blackstrap molasses and maple syrup. And whipped cream.
And I like molasses (again, blackstrap) on cottage cheese. That, I grew up with. (Oh, more truth-telling: I grew up with sorghum molasses on store-bought cottage cheese. These days I prefer blackstrap on my homemade variety.)
I've never had shoofly pie or cake but I llllloooovvveee molasses cookies, but I don't see why I wouldn't love it, too!ReplyDelete
I wonder if my kids would like it....hmm...

I'm not mennonite, but married someone who grew up BIC (Brethren in Christ) which is apparently some kind of close relative. His family is PA Dutch, anyway. And he LOVES shoo-fly pie. I'm going to try this cake for his birthday, and I think I'll use 1 and 1/2 cups molasses and make the other half cup maple syrup. As for my opinion of shoofly pie...I'll take the dry-bottom kind and I'll definitely take a shoo-fly cake, but I've learned my lesson on the wet-bottomed kind: pass.ReplyDelete
1. I am not a Mennonite.ReplyDelete
2. I don't know what a "covering" is/means. Any pictures?
3. I've never tried a Shoofly pie. I think I'd like to try one . . . but if it is like the overly-sweet sticky glop one gets in some Pecan Pies, I'll pass.
4. I am mystified by the 1/2 egg trick. Are you talking about a raw egg? Is there a YouTube video? My trick: I break the egg open. Put in small bowl and scramble. Measure out two tablespoons. There are 4 tablespoons of egg in an extra large egg, 2 Tbs. in small egg. Works for me.
I'm a non-Mennonite who grew up with shoofly; my mother was born and raised til the age of 14 or so in Lancaster, PA. SO going to make this cake SOON!ReplyDelete
My grandparents were Mennonite, and so we had shoo fly pie as a kid, and no, I didn't like it very much at the time, but now I miss it! I think it's our tastebuds getting older and needing stronger flavors. Btw, here is how my family went: grandparents Mennonite turned Methodist, Parents Catholic turned Episcopal, and me turned Muslim, but in my mind none of them is really thst different! Love God, love people, do good.ReplyDelete

WOW | Life Inspiration
Light In Dark Times
The news these days is bleak. Every morning there are reports of another bombing, terrorist attack or disaster. Stories of unrest, intolerance, bigotry, and political or economic strife are becoming the norm, it seems, everywhere. Even places once thought of as stable and safe are equally, if not more, in danger of attack and disruption. Brussels, Orlando, Istanbul… while the battles in the less-heard-of-places continue to ravage communities, families and lives, as the rest of us turn our heads away, out of indifference, ignorance or overwhelm. South Sudan, Libya, Bagdad, Syria…
Out of the violence rises a rhetoric of fear and hatred; a language of "us" versus "them". Them, the refugees. Them, the immigrants. Them, the gay, lesbian, transgender. Them, the other ethnic group. Them, the "other" (fill in the blank).
And in the chaos of this all – in the overwhelm of dark times, loss and uncertainty– it is easy to fall prey to the discourse; it is easier to maybe believe that we would be safer behind walls, barricaded within our own ethnic group or region, that we would be safer if we didn't have foreigners among us, safer if people would not speak, wear or walk their true colours.
Easier perhaps than to choose truth, forgiveness and tolerance. Easier, but not better. Easier, but not, truly, safer.
You see, fear breeds more fear. Violence breeds more violence. And these two -violence and fear – tango like voracious lovers that cannot get enough of each other. Mesmerised and mesmerising. Deluded and deluding.
Our calling, though, is to see beyond these delusions. We were not born onto this earthly plane to give in to fear and hatred. Nor were we put here to play small, nor pretend to be something we are not. Rather we were called upon to merge Soul with bodily form; to be alive; to explore; and to love.
Remember who you are; remember who put you here; remember the sacredness of all that is, including yourself, your brothers and sisters and all that is manifest.
In these times of turmoil I urge and request you to consider practicing the following….
When times are difficult, when things do not work out as we hoped or planned for, it is easy to complain. Everywhere – in conversation, in the news, and throughout the media – I hear of complaints and blame. The focus is on what is wrong with the world, how many have suffered or died. The search is always for a situation, government or person to blame. We spend so much time talking about what is not working and about who is doing what wrong, that we lose sight of all that is right, all that is working, and all of the goodness that is happening around us.
Know what is not working, but focus on what is. Give so much of your attention and support to that which is good and uplifting that you will have no more time to feed that which is destructive or negative.
Stop fighting against things; start fighting for what you love.
Choose your point of focus
One of the gifts of being human is having an intellect, an intuition and an awareness that can all work together. Learn to choose what you think about and how you think; learn to nurture your mind and heart with all that is positive. Choose that which uplifts you and others.
How will you recognise what is good? you might wonder. That which uplifts and supports us makes us feel alive, excited, inspired and at ease. Notice when you feel these and seek out those people and situations that bring more of it.
Show up and shine
You do not have to be a super star, nor talented, nor rich, nor educated, nor crazy beautiful to shine. Please, just be you. Stop hiding. Stop thinking you are not enough.
When you recognise your own gifts and embrace them, you make them an offering to all of us. Your job is to find your treasures and show up with them in full presence.
When each one of us does this, we become an incredible force.
Perform small acts of calm and kindness
It is the simplest acts of kindness that change the world, one at a time.
Smile at a stranger, help someone in need; find the stillness of your heart, be a soft place for someone to fall even just for a moment.
Never give up
Despair and suffering will surely visit you. But let them not take up a permanent seat at your table. There will be moments when you think you can endure nothing more any longer. Weep. Scream. Ask for help. Take a time out. Rest. Pray. Lean on others. And then pick up the pieces of your heart, breathe, put on your big girl panties and stand up. Life will embrace you. I promise.
Find your tribe
When there is darkness all around, look. Look for those who are ready to show up and shine. Find your fellow souls, those that sing to the same tune and dance to the same beat. They are out there. You just have to look around, and show yourself as you really are. Above all, know that you are not alone. Ever.
So, my fellow beloveds, I call on us all to gather our strength, collect our courage, and cash in on our faith. Do not fall prey to the words and deeds that divide us. Do not lose hope. Fear, anger and despair might visit you; but let them not set up home in your heart. Be who you are. Show us your soul. Shine, so we can know that you too, are here with us, lighting the way.

Facebook has been rolling out its own currency, to be used by members to buy virtual goods in games and other applications. But the move has rankled some game developers. Sarah Needleman explains.

28/34/31 city/highway/combined XV Hybrid
25/33/?? city/highway/combined XV
Couldn't find a combined number for the regular XV on Sub's web site. But considering city only increases 3MPG and highway only 1MPG, it is safe to assume the combined must be less than 3MPG improvement.
How much more are they going to charge for the Hybrid? Are they setting themselves up for failure with extremely minimal differences in MPG? That just doesn't seem worth it. The price difference would have to be less than a grand to make the hybrid worth it.
TheSnowWay.com "Skiing is not a sport, it is a way of life." - Otto Schniebs
I used to drive a 1986 S-10 Blazer with 115 hp. That really struggled going up the Sherburne pass. My 2002 Mazda Navajo (Ford Exploder) with 160 hp / 225 ft-lbs was better. Every car I've owned since had way more horsepower & torque and I stopped noticing that I was climbing the pass. With only 170-ish foot-lbs of torque, I'm wondering what an Outback does on that hill.
Been meaning to post a follow up about the Crosstrek for a while, but wanted a few months and a few thousand miles of use first. I'm there now. Bought it in Feb so I've had it for 5 months including winter, spring, and summer conditions. Have put 12K on it including 2 trips from Boston to Philly and many, may trips from MA to NH. So here's a digested psuedo-review from my experience:
Background/disclaimer: I am NOT a car guy. Other than a '78 LeMans in high school this is the first "car" I've ever owned. I've had mostly pickup trucks, but also a few Broncos. From reading other car threads on here I know a lot of you are into cars. You know and care about subtle handling differences, 0-60, etc. That's cool. I'm sure it matters. I just don't have enough experience with those subtleties to really make fine-scale comparisons. As a "truck guy" who didn't need a truck anymore I was looking for a) MPG, B) affordability, C) AWD, D) enough space for wife+dog+gear. Most other considerations didn't carry much weight.
Thought it would make sense to address some of the concerns/knocks mentioned earlier in this thread:
"The crosstrek is a waste of money IMO. 4-5K more for a lifted Impreza? Sorry Ill take the Impreza with coilovers and save 3k."
I sort of addressed this before. That's an apples-oranges cost comparison. The crosstrek doesn't really have a base-model option so a comparably equipped imprezza is only about $1,200 less than a Crosstrek. But still, there is some truth to the point. $1,200 for the ground clearance beefed up suspension and a couple other things might not be worth it to everyone. It was worth it to me.
"Heard they are severely underpowered."
Yeah, I've heard that a lot too. But I haven't noticed it. As stated I'm not a car guy so maybe the Crosstrek is weak compared to some cars people are used to. I'm used to 8cyl pickup trucks. I'd say the Crosstrek merges and passes about the same...as in without any trouble.
"XV doesn't get that great of gas mileage, does it? On par with the larger Outback if I am not mistaken? Certainly much less than the Impreza hatch which is the only really good AWD vehicle for gas mileage out there."
It seems pretty good to me. I've averaged 30MPG over the 12K miles. But actually it's a little better than than since it crept up quite a bit after break in. In the past 3 months I've been averaging 31MPG. From what I've followed 2013 Outbacks average around 25MPG and Imprezas are about the same as the Crosstrek.
"I think you are going to be dissapointed with the XV. My wifes best friend got one and its so underpowered you end up getting much worse gas milage than advertised as your goosing it everywhere to keep up with traffic."
Kind of a combo of the above 2 comments. So I'll just say that I haven't noticed a lack of power and I'm getting better mileage than expected. = Not disappointed.
That was about it for other peoples concerns. Now my concerns:
Will I be able to carry everything without a truck? Hmmmm, not always. So far I've been OK with it 90% of the time. It kind of sucks to be limited in what I can pick up at Home Depot and hauling yard brush is not so great. I've borrowed trailers and that worked out pretty well. I'm considering buying a trailer now. It's definitely more challenging and time consuming to think about carrying stuff. Can just trow my bike, kayak, etc in the back. But with roof racks and tow hitch it's been pretty manageable.
I do a lot of work down muddy, dirt roads. Will I get down there? So far the thing has been a champ on fire roads, cranberry bog connectors, etc. One I stop worrying about paint scratches it will probably be even better.
How will I like driving it? I've always preferred the upright posture of a truck seat. I'm actually really digging driving it! Multiple times I've driven through a full tank (>400miles) without a rest and felt fine. It's comfortable, moderately quiet, and well laid out.
So anyway, not much a real car review by car guy standards. But bottom line is that I'm really liking it and would easily recommend it.
And I like the look......
my 2009 outback's transmission completely shit the bed at 100K...according to the mechanic it's a common problem for this year/model...called subaru and they basically said 'we consider that a wear and tear part, you're out of warranty, too bad for you, go pound sand'
maybe i'm wrong, but 100K seems a little early to me for a trans to die...very disappointing, especially for a make that touts reliability

Leno's Take on CNN Yellin's Fiery On-Air Moment
During his Wednesday night monologue, NBC Tonight Show host Jay Leno had some fun with D.C.-based CNN correspondent Jessica Yellin , who had an unusual on-air encounter. Yellin had a fire alarm blaring in the background of a recent segment. Yellin, as always, handled the moment with ease, laughed, and explained that the alarm was a drill and not a real fire.
Leno, meanwhile, had a cartoon character on fire running behind Yellin's head.

World Children's & Infant Wear Market Discussed by Infiniti Research in In-demand Report Available at MarketPublishers.com
11 Jul 2014 • by Natalie Aster
LONDON – Children's wear (clothing for children aged 0 months through 10 years) comprises such apparel as underwear, outerwear, nightwear, tights and socks, and footwear created for infants and children who have not reached their full height yet. The worldwide market for children's and infant wear is forecast to post a CAGR of just under 6.1% during 2014-2018, with the growth driven by the increase in consumption expenditure on children's wear, among other factors. The market has also seen the rising demand for luxury children's wear in the developed world. However, the increasingly intensified competition among players could pose a challenge to the sector's expansion.
Amazon.com Inc., Benetton Group SpA, Bed Bath & Beyond Inc., Carter's Inc., Children's Place Retail Store Inc., Esprit Holdings Ltd., Gap Inc., Macy's Inc., Sears Holdings Corp., The Walt Disney Co., Wal-Mart Stores Inc. are among the top vendors in the marketplace.

DETROIT -- Sales of domestically built cars and light trucks dropped 10 percent in May from a year earlier, but on a seasonally adjusted basis car sales alone were slightly stronger than in the previous month, leading to some hope that the automotive recession may have bottomed out.
Car sales, a barometer of economic health, are being closely watched for signs that a recovery may be under way. But statistics from a single 10-day period or just one month are often misleading, as they were in January and February when many analysts thought the bottom of the automotive downturn had been reached. Subsequent sales reports in March and April were weak, squelching the optimism.
The seasonally adjusted annual rate of car sales in May was 6 million, compared with 5.5 million in April.
Sales of what are considered domestically built cars -- those made in the United States and Canada -- dropped 9.8 percent in May, to 579,406, compared with 642,304 a year earlier. Light-truck sales dropped 10.4 percent, to 338,074, from 377,281 a year ago.

But my late spring no bud or blossom showeth.
It shall be still in strictest measure even
To that same lot, however mean, or high,
All is, if I have grace to use it so,
As ever in my great taskmaster's eye.
Oh, the sots and thralls of lust
Do in spare hours more thrive than I that spend,
Sir, life upon thy cause.

Research interests
My PhD research center's around the concept of simplicity and how it appears in interactive art and interaction design, thought as a filed encompassing physical and spatial design, data and software design, audio and visual design. Simplicity is often talked about but rarely described, I have contructed it from various smaller entities. The research is practice-based, with interactive art works as reflection: how does simplicity manifest in my own and others' art work.
Other fields of interest: spatial interaction design, alternative game design, physical computing and prototyping.
Teaching interests
My main job is to teach as a lecturer in the Audiovisual Media Culture program our Media Science major subject, and the Multimedia and Moving Image minor subjects. During my lecturership I was also in charge of a master program in Ubiquitous Computing and Media Design (UBIQ), for which I was in charge of designing the curriculum, teaching most of the classes, and managing student issues more or less by myself alone.

(Megan Kennelly, KSU Plant Pathology)
The average daily high for June 15 in Manhattan is 86.1, and the average nightly low is 63. We have been well above those averages. Ugh! June is supposed to be our time of "things are still okay out there… July and August are around the corner, but for now we are fine." However, this year, August is here now! Along with the heat, it is very dry out there, as shown on the most recent US Drought Monitor map:
What can you do to reduce summer stress in putting greens?
The Chemical Control of Turfgrass Diseases publication (free online!) includes an excellent list of 16 practices that can reduce summertime stress. Are you doing some of those practices already? Yes, you probably are. Are there some you are not trying? Maybe – you might test some out, or talk to your peers about what they are doing. Are some just not feasible for your site? Probably – and that's okay. Check out the whole menu of 16 options and see if it generates any new ideas. You can find the whole list starting on page 6 of Chemical Control of Turfgrass Diseases which, in short, includes information about mowing height, watering, fertility, foot traffic, dew, phytoxicity warnings, and more.
With that in mind, here are some pictures to illustrate the importance of roots during stressful summer conditions:

I have never considered HR as just another profession. From the outset I have believed that the principles of Human Resources reflected, in large part, my personal values. Some of the key principles included:
- · Valuing employees and ensuring they are treated fairly
- · Equal Opportunity and not discriminating against people no matter how different they may be from us
- · Respect for the community we serve and for the environment
I considered these very normal beliefs for people in tune with and part of progressive society. For some, acceptance of the changes introduced was slower, but most recognized that change was necessary and that there was no going back to the earlier age of blatant, racism, sexism and other primitive prejudices. Civilization was advancing and we wanted to advance with it.
It was recognized and respected that government had an essential role to play in setting some rules about treating people fairly and taking action, if necessary, when organizations persisted in discriminating and taking advantage of employees in various ways. There was little talk about big or small government; we just knew that government needed to be the right size to keep businesses in line with the direction mandated by the people.
For many years we (HR and Industry) made significant progress and advances in becoming fairer and more respectful of people of all backgrounds. In many respects, what was initially a legal requirement became an accepted and normal operating practice.
And then it seemed to start going wrong. I would date it as around 2000, the gate into a glorious future that instead seemed more like the beginning of regression. The key points, from my perspective, were:
- · Interpretation of "business partner" to mean we should be more like them (our partners) and less like HR committed to corporate values and equitable practices
- · As the reliance on metrics came to dominate, de-emphasis of aspects of HR (particularly people related) that were not easily expressed using standard metrics
- · Increasing emotional detachment from employees except as work units
- · Less respect for human rights and more readiness to break the law if the risks, if caught, were not excessive
I started writing about the lowest level of civilization (the homeless, unemployable, unemployed, and other disadvantaged), a few years ago. I was probing to see what action was planned and particularly as unemployment rose drastically for economic reasons and as work processes became less reliant on human labor. I slowly came to the realization that little emphasis was placed on the future of these unfortunates, the leftovers of Capitalism.
I was even more concerned when I discovered that conservative factions (various countries) have little concern about these people. I truly had believed that no modern political system would deliberately exclude any citizens. Is it morally acceptable for the rejects, the dispossessed, to be set apart from the useful people? Even if their numbers increase and they become a large percentage of society should we leave them to rot and die and consider them a sacrifice to maintain our lean and mean economic model?
That is the extreme political view held by various conservative parties. They know the perfect socio-economic formula, but it only includes those that are needed at any point in time and then, after meeting their purpose, they are dispensible.
What do you think? What is most important, a "perfect" economic system excluding and taking no responsibility for large numbers of people, or an "inclusive" economic system, acknowledging responsibility for all people and committed to ensuring their dignity and establishing practical ways for them to contribute, to belong, if traditional employment is not an option?
What is the future of Human Resources in an environment of deregulation and transference of power (moral responsibility) to organizations? To what extent could it further change the role of Human Resources and turn us into desensitized people? Could HR survive?
Thank you for your interest. I look forward to any thoughts and comments you may have.
"What does it profit a man to gain the whole world, but lose his own soul?"

6 Things To Know About Property Management DFW Before Buying Rental Property
If you're considering renting out your home or buying a piece of rental property, there are some things you should know about property management. DFW and the surrounding areas can be great places to own rental property if you know what you're doing. Below are six things every property owner should know before they make the dive into property management.
- Know Local, State, and Federal Laws. Picture this: You find the perfect rental property in a well-maintained neighborhood with all the amenities. You sign all the papers and the property is yours! You put up a For Rent sign and wait for the applicants to roll in. But instead of applicants, you get a letter from your new Home Owners Association. It turns out that packet of HOA rules you skimmed through and signed has a clause saying they will only permit ten rental homes in the neighborhood, and your property would be number 11. Many landlords are surprised when they find out that an HOA can limit the number of renters. Unfortunately, HOA rules are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to need-to-know laws. Violating the Fair Housing Act, for example, can land you a lawsuit, hefty penalties, and attorney fees on top of that. Getting into Ft. Worth property management means knowing all the rules and laws that apply to you, your property, and your tenants. Breaking a rule because you're unaware will leave you in a tight spot, and could jeopardize your investment and your reputation.
- Understand the TRUE Cost of Property Management DFW. As we mentioned above, owning rental property in DFW can be a great investment. In fact, Business Insider recently named Dallas as one of the top places to buy rental property in the US. But before you buy, make sure you know all the costs that surround your new investment and only buy a property that will give you positive cash flow. If you plan on financing your rental property, then the rent you bring in needs to cover your mortgage, taxes, insurance, and fees. However, if your rental income only covers these items, your cash flow will still be negative. Why is that? You need to plan for regular maintenance and emergency maintenance, as well as turnover between tenants. Depending on the age of your house you should put aside 1-2 months worth of rent for yearly maintenance costs. An experienced Fort Worth property manager should be able to help you come up with an estimate of the cash you should have on hand and the positive cash flow you will need each month to make your investment successful.
- Treat Tenants Kindly. Property management DFW is easier and more successful when you have a good relationship with your tenants. When tenants feel disrespected or unheard by their landlords, they are more likely to move when their lease is over. Tenant turnover is time consuming, expensive, and in many cases could have been avoided with a better landlord-tenant relationship. One way to help is to make sure all policies and procedures are laid out clearly in the lease and followed closely by you and your property management team. Your tenant should never feel like you tell them one thing then do another, and you should leave emotion out of your interactions. Many landlords feel professional property managers can help this relationship a great deal because of the experience, professionalism, and promptness they offer.
- Be Proactive About Maintenance. There is no avoiding maintenance around your rental property, whether it is simply replacing air conditioning filters or replacing your whole AC system. Professional Ft. Worth property management knows from years of experience that the more proactive you are about maintenance, the longer your home's systems will last, and the happier your tenants will be. For example, a yearly tune-up of your AC system costs between $80-$100 and could add years to the life of your system. It can cost $4,000 or more to replace the whole system. You can see how small yearly costs can save you thousands of dollars over the life of your property. Regular property inspections are a good idea for many reasons, but especially to identify ways you can be proactive about maintenance. An inspection will help you catch small issues your tenant may not notice, like a leaky pipe before it becomes water damage and mold. Proactive maintenance has the added benefit of showing your tenants that you care about your property and by extension, you care for them.
- Screen Every Tenant. Applicant screening is an easy step you can take to avoid turnovers and evictions. Every applicant over 18 should be thoroughly screened including a background check, credit check, and rental history. You should verify your potential tenant's job status and income to ensure they can pay rent. Most professionals recommend a tenant's rent payment be no more than a quarter of their monthly income. That means if they make $4,000 a month they can afford $1,000 for rent. Never make the mistake of renting to a tenant who refuses to let you screen them, or is unwilling to give references or rental history. These tenants quickly lead to unpaid rent and evictions. In the long run, it is worth it to wait a few more weeks for a qualified tenant than bet on one who is unqualified.
- Know When to Ask for Help. When it comes to property management, DFW landlords need to know when to hire professionals. Being a DIY landlord can work out for some people, but often property owners make mistakes that can put their investment at risk. When hiring residential property management, Fort Worth landlords not only get someone who will handle the day-to-day activities of running a property, they get the years of experience and wisdom that entails. If property management is not your full-time job, you cannot be expected to know the ins-and-outs of Federal Housing laws, maintenance and inspection schedules, and what to do to avoid an eviction. Many property owners are surprised to learn that they profit more after they hire a full-service property management company, even after they pay management fees. Professional property managers know how to cut costs without cutting corners, making your investment into a success.
If you want to know more about hiring a full-service, professional property management company, call Specialized Property Management Fort Worth today.

Cross-functional collaboration can make or break success. No matter how well a particular department or team performs, it is largely useless if done in isolation. Just like a car won't go if you press the accelerator and the engine isn't connected properly, a company won't achieve results if the units and people aren't connected properly.
Here are a few questions to ponder:
- On a cross-functional project with two department teams, can one team/department be viewed as successful if the other one isn't?
- Do your teams attempt to talk in the other team's preferred style or in their own?
- Do the teams understand the objective and why cross-functional collaboration is required?
- Are team members rewarded for individual success or for cross-functional success?
- Are there opportunities provided to learn collaboration and communication skills?

In our area of the south, there is a little saying of "it isn't if you have termites, but when you will have termites." Termites are an ever present reality of being a homeowner in Tennessee. But should you be afraid of buying a house with termite damage?
The answer to that question is, "It depends."
When You Should Not Worry About Buying A House With Termite Damage
Termites will find their way into any home that is left unchecked and untreated. But when damage is discovered early on the damage to a home can be minimal. Techniques for treatment these days are highly effective and can remove these pests from further damaging a home.
A little list to keep in mind that should give comfort that a home is a safer buy.
- Observable termite damage is inactive and isolated. If the damage you find shows signs of termites, but there are not any active termites then often times you can find out that the house has been treated for that initial problem. If the damage is isolated then you can move forward knowing the house is in good shape.
- Termite damage is not at critical parts of the home. Termites do not discriminate what part of the house they feed on. They can eat on a porch, floor joists, siding, and/or stud walls. Have a house inspector give you some determination if the termite damaged area is load bearing, or compromised so much that is risks collapse. If the damage is compromising, but not active then work with a contractor on the possibilities of fixing that area before buying.
- Have a thorough inspection when termite damage is found. Termites can find their way into some difficult to observe spots in a home. If you suspect damage it is prudent to see about getting an even more thorough inspection of the house. The last thing you want is more surprises.
- Termites are active in the house but treatable. Termites are a part of life down here. So sometimes there is that perfect home but they are occupying it right now. This is when you want to bring out some termite exterminators to put together a plan to get rid of the current termite problem. If there is not a clear plan that can get rid of the termites where you feel comfortable, then you may want to walk away.
- The home has ongoing pest protection. If the house has had ongoing pest protection from a reputable company then you can take comfort that there are some guarantees in place for prevention and fixing possible problems. It also reflects a homeowner that takes the condition of their home seriously.
So When Should Termite Damage to a House Prevent You From Buying?
- If you do not have the stomach for fixing up a house then you will probably want to stay away from a termite damaged home. This is not because the home cannot be fixed, but why put yourself through the stress if you do not have to.
- If an inspection shows active termite damage and you cannot get an accurate view as to how long they have been invading the home then it is safe to assume they are occupying more of the home. The longer a termite infestation remains unchecked gives more opportunity for them to do serious damage to a home.
- If termite damage is spread in various part of the house. A yard may contain a few termite colonies. If termite damage is showing up at multiple spots around the house then you have a cause for concern. It is not a reason to never buy a home, but you will want to do some serious homework and consultations with experts as to the extent of the damage. But multiple spots show possible colonies in a number of areas of the yard which can indicate that the home is 'under attack' from all over.
Termite damage is not the death blow to buying a home, but it is a signal that you want to do your due diligence to know what you are getting into. Going through this extra work will also provide for you a plan to ensure your home is well protected.

First time since 2013: Seasonal School returns to Iran
Last weekend, starting July 1st, the Center for Global Politics' (CGP) Seasonal School has returned to Iran for the first time since 2013. After a four-year hiatus, this year's program brings together 26 participants in Tehran.
News from Jul 03, 2017
For about two weeks, from July 1st to July 12, the CGP's Iran Seasonal School invites 26 young researchers from Germany and Iran to join an international learning experience.
In cooperation with the Center for Graduate International Studies at University of Tehran and the Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung, the Iran Seasonal School seeks to empower global thinkers. Participants meet people from diverse cultural and professional backgrounds, thereby benefiting from an interdisciplinary research and teaching setting. Focusing on the EU and the MENA Region, our Seasonal School in Tehran provides them with the chance to venture into new spaces in- and outside of class. The participants have the unique opportunity to learn more about current challenges faced by regions in crisis. A mixture of lectures, interactive coursework, Q&A formats and other activities will help them both to sharpen their own perspectives and to get to know how scholars from other countries look at these important issues.
We would like to thank our partners, the Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung and the University of Tehran, without whom a return to Iran would not have been possible.
We look forward to an exciting time filled with new input, open discussions and interesting insights!
Learn more about our other programs.
