PHILADELPHIA, PA – The devastation of Hurricane Sandy impacted thousands of families and communities on the east coast, and many of the College's alumni and friends. Through the hard work, dedication, and generosity of the campus community and alumni, Chestnut Hill has been able to aid in providing supplies and much needed financial support for those communities hit hardest to rebuild.
The College immediately focused its effort in aiding St. Rose Parish and School in Belmar, NJ, after hearing about the significant flooding and extraordinary loss suffered by those in the parish community and damage to the church and school from alumna Sister Kathy Nace '88. Campus ministry gathered a meeting of clubs, organizations and departments with students, staff, faculty and administration from all across campus to form a Hurricane Relief Committee.
Through this committee, campus ministry was able to start a goods and supplies drive that was able to send immediate relief with cleaning supplies, non-perishable food, hats, gloves, coats, and blankets, as well as gas station and supermarket gift cards.
During the Christmas and advent season, the Hurricane Relief Committee sponsored a "reverse giving tree" where donors were given a Christmas ornament to place on the tree and then given a "Thank You" Christmas tag for donating. Other Hurricane Committee members sponsored free hot chocolate and homemade cookies at the Chestnut Hill Business Association's Stag and Doe Nights in December. The Logue Library staff decided to swap their ordinary "gift exchange" with one another for gift cards for the Belmar, NJ school. These campus-wide efforts netted more than $1,000 to help St. Rose's Parish. "In the difficult economic climate that faces our CHC family, nothing strikes home like a home spun tragedy," says Mindy Welding, IHM, M.A., M.S., director of campus ministry at the College. "Our Chestnut Hill College family truly reaches deep into their pockets to help others in desperate need."
Following the enthusiastic efforts of campus ministry, the Alumni Relations Office spearheaded a very successful campaign to make Christmas morning a joy for the hundreds of children in St. Rose's and other Monmouth County parishes staffed by the Sisters of Saint Joseph. Alumni relations launched "17 days and Counting" from December 2 through December 18, challenging alumni to contribute gift cards for the families to use for Christmas gifts to make the holiday joyful.
More than 95 alumni responded with the spirit and generosity that exemplifies a graduate of Chestnut Hill College, generating more than $9,500 in gift cards that were sent to St. Rose Parish on December 18.
"Our alumnae turned out in full force, with classes from the Sixties dominating the response," says Pat Canning, director of alumni relations at the College."The impact of this response was enormous. More than $9,500 was raised over 17 days, including cards from alumnae who had already contributed once and then sent cards directly to St. Rose right before Christmas. This speaks to the compassion our alumnae feel for the families so horribly affected by this tragedy."
Sister Nace, a graduate of the Class of 1988, told us about a family given several cards. This family of six children, ranging from elementary school through their early 20s, suffered tremendous damage to their home. "The father was really grateful for the cards," Sister Nace said, "although he was a bit reluctant at first to take them. As most of our parents said when first approached, 'someone else needs it more.' He didn't want to accept the cards initially, because he thought that someone was worse off and could use them. It has been very humbling (in a good way) for myself and parents when I have to explain I have a list of families to help, and I'm working down the list so the families who were "worse off" have already been contacted. Now it's your turn, I say, to be helped. No one ever expects to be on that list."
"We're so grateful to our wonderful alums for their remarkable response to this very real need," says Canning.
Kevin Petti, Ph.D., professor in the Department of Science and Health at San Diego Miramar College will present the lecture, "Anatomy Italiana: From the Renaissance Dissection Theater to the Sistine Chapel" at the 21st Annual Biomedical Lecture Series on Wednesday, February 12, at 3:00 p.m. in the East Parlor, St. Joseph Hall. Petti will discuss how Italy's medieval universities established the study of human anatomy for physicians. To heighten their art, Renaissance masters clandestinely examined anatomy through human dissection. The lecture is free and open to the public. For more information, please contact Lakshmi Atchison, Ph.D., professor of biology and director of the biomedical lecture series at email@example.com or call 215.248.7159.
Scott F. Gilbert, PhD, the Howard A. Schneiderman Professor of Biology at Swarthmore College presents the lecture, "Wonder and the Need for Alliances of Science and Religion" on Monday, February 17, 2014 at 7 p.m. at the Commonwealth Chateau, SugarLoaf Hill campus. This lecture is sponsored by the Institute for Religion and Science at Chestnut Hill College. The scientific and religious worldviews are both predicated on the experience of wonder. Indeed, in preserving wonder, science and religion actually help maintain each other. Science and religion, then, need to be allies in preserving sources of natural wonder. As long as science and religion are kept apart, profit-motive will triumph. Interestingly, both science and religion are changing in ways that can accommodate such alliances. The lecture is free and open to the public. For more information, please contact Kathleen Duffy, SSJ, Ph.D. at 215.248.7197 or email@example.com.
Father Greg Boyle, author of "Tattoos on the Heart" and founder of Homeboys Inc. will speak at Chestnut Hill College for the 5th Anniversary of the Institute for Forgiveness and Reconciliation on Tuesday, March 11 at 7 p.m. in Sorgenti Arena, Martino Hall. Father Boyle will discuss "We are one: It's all about Kinship." The Institute for Forgiveness and Reconciliation was launched in 2008 to be a learning laboratory for research and scholarship where forgiveness and reconciliation will be explored as alternatives to violence and conflict in our culture. The lecture is free and open to the public. For more information, please contact Catherine Nerney, SSJ, Ph.D. at 215.248.7099 or e-mail email@example.com.

Why Study Spanish? |
1. Communicate with 350 million native Spanish speakers worldwide.Spanish is spoken by at least an estimated 350 million people around the world and is currently the 4th most commonly spoken language worldwide. Geographically, a large number of countries have Spanish as a dominant language: Spain, the United States, Venezuela, Argentina, Chile, Equatorial Guinea, the Philippines, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Peru, Mexico, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Panama, Colombia, Bolivia, Paraguay, and Uruguay. Knowing Spanish opens the door for you to communicate with 1/3 of a billion speakers worldwide! 2. Communicate with Spanish-speaking people at home.If you live in the US, it is possible to maintain almost daily contact with native Spanish speakers in many cities or even in rural areas. This is certainly the case in the many states bordering Mexico, or such states as Florida and New York where many immigrants of Cuban ancestry reside. Even if your home state is not located in one of these areas, there is still a great likelihood of finding Spanish-speakers close to where you live. As of 1995, 10% of all people living in the US were of Hispanic descent. In the past 10 years, this number has continued to increase. 3. Learn Spanish to enhance your travel experiences.If you've ever dreamed of visiting far-off, exotic, tropical places, you don't have far to look when you consider the great number of Spanish-speaking countries that fit this description. Wherever you decide to go, be it to Central America, or to Spain, the mother-country of the Spanish language, knowing the language will get you far. 4. Use Spanish to improve your employment potential.Know a second language? Great, you're hired! If you have proven yourself to be a capable employee with just the right job skills AND you speak a foreign language such as Spanish, you are much more likely to land that job of your dreams than if you are monolingual. In fact, many jobs today require a minimum of basic proficiency in another language. 5. Learn Spanish to improve your knowledge of your own language.Spanish is from the Romance language family of languages, its roots coming primarily from Latin, the language spoken by the Romans. As you might know, English, too has many words of Latin origin. Because of this, knowing Spanish helps speakers of English (as well as some other European languages) broaden their vocabulary in their native language. Often times, these same Latin roots are at the base of many sophisticated words in English, so Spanish learners can also become more proficient in English.

When Olivia Palermo steps out, we take notice. The New Yorker has a knack for mixing eclectic elements to create unexpected but cohesive looks. Yesterday was no exception, with Liv looking like her usual, perfectly-styled self at a screening for W.E at the MOMA in NYC. She made her black Giorgio Armani frock interesting via texture, a trick we're sure to be copying for the silly season. She cleverly layered a Haute Hippie fur shrug over a Topshop fringed shawl for double-duty glamour. A fan of the contrasting shoe/bag play, Olivia worked a sapphire blue pair of bejewelled Manolo Blahnik pumps (Ashley Olsen owns a pair) with a ruby clutch by Mulberry. She gets bonus accessorising points for dragging along boyfriend Johannes Huebl, too! Get a good look (at her 'fit, not him!), from all angles.
2011 Venice Film Festival: The Bevy of Beauty Looks!
The Venice Film Festival has been one to watch on the beauty front, with the likes of Gwyneth Paltrow, Diane Kruger, Cindy Crawford and Abbie Cornish all working their magic at their red carpet premieres, photo call appearances and events about town. We've seen neutral makeup palettes a plenty on the likes of Kate Winslet and Diane, standout eye makeup from Evan Rachel Wood and bold red lips on Madonna, but we're sending props to supermodel Natasha Poly with her flowing locks and shimmering eye makeup — always a winner. Scope all the beauty looks direct from Venice!
From All Angles: Madonna's Ladylike Vionnet Dress
Madonna hit the red carpet in a beautiful dress by Vionnet at the Venice Film Festival where she is debuting her film W.E. Her dress choice has extra significance considering the costumes for her film were reproduced from the original Madeleine Vionnet archives. Madonna looked ultra elegant in the blue silk satin dress beaded with red butterflies teamed with red platform heels — and we loved her bright 40s-style sunglasses. Check out Madonna's glamorous Vionnet number from all angles!
Abbie Cornish Rocks Dark Locks for the US Marie Claire Cover!
Abbie Cornish appeared with her Limitless co-star Bradley Cooper for the cover of the April issue of US Marie Claire sporting a short dark brown lob, the change in hair colour coming with her role in the Madonna-directed film W.E. We're guessing the cover shoot took place back when we saw her shooting the film in Paris, as we've seen her recently on the cover of Harper's Bazaar Australia with darker blonde strands. We're loving that Abbie keeps changing up her look — she's definitely one celeb that keeps us on our toes with her ever-changing style! What do you think of the cover? Or are you still wishing she'd stuck with her breakup cut?

"It's not worth reacting. We had BCCI officials with us. We had police officers with us. We had MCA officials with us. I don't think I need to react to Shah Rukh's statement," said Savant.
Earlier in the day, Khan had denied at a press conference at his home that he was drunk and claimed the scuffle broke out after MCA officials manhandled his kids who he had come to pick after the IPL match between KKR and Mumbai Indians last night.
"I was not drunk, I had gone to pick up my children. The officials were extremely aggressive. I just got angry but I left after that. I said a few things in anger. I was one and they were 20-25 officials and they were extremely rude. When I tried to answer them, they hid behind others," Khan said.
The Bollywood star had an altercation with the security personnel and officials of the association after the Knight Riders had swamped Mumbai Indians, according to a police complaint lodged by MCA joint secretary Nitin Dalal with the Marine Drive police station after the ugly spat.
Dalal also rubbished Bollywood actor's version of the fracas.
"He abused us in such a way that I can't tell you. The language he used was very bad. His behaviour is not acceptable," said Dalal.
Savant said he would push for a life ban on Khan at the MCA's managing committee meeting tomorrow and was confident he will be supported by those who were present last night and witnessed the fracas.

Ms. Geraldine "Jerrie" Lawhorn sits with her close friend Harry Porterfield. Lawson was named the 2011 Winnetka, IL Teacher of the Year.
For the past 40 years, Geraldine "Jerrie" Lawhorn has been an instructor with The Hadley School for the Blind, in Winnetka, IL. At 94, she is still teaching Hadley's "Elements of Poetry" course. Jerrie is an inspiration to her students, colleagues, and just about anyone else she meets. Ms. Lawhorn was honored as the Winnetka, IL Teacher of the Year on May 4, 2011.
Jerrie lost her sight around the age of 12 and her hearing at 19. Not to be sidelined by her disabilities, she continued her studies and later, was the first African-American deaf-blind person to earn a college degree, receiving her bachelor's degree from Northeastern Illinois University. Jerrie stresses the importance of family in helping the deaf-blind and credits her own independence to the encouragement she received from her mother at a young age.
An accomplished actor, poet and pianist, Jerrie performed monologues at Carnegie Hall and appeared on a number of television programs, including Someone You Should Know in Chicago, The Phil Donahue Show, Good Morning America and Ripley's Believe It or Not.
Jerrie has received numerous awards and honors, including the "Show Business" Magazine Award, induction into the Disabled Persons Hall of Fame of the City of Chicago, The Hadley School's Challenge of Living Award and the Anne Sullivan Macy Award for her artististic endeavors. Her autobiography, On Different Roads, was published in 1991. Jerrie uses a variety of techniques to communicate with others, including the one-hand manual technique, which uses traditional sign language "spoken" in the hand of the deaf-blind. She also uses a Tellatouch, a typewriter machine which types braille.
The Hadley School congratulates Geraldine on her distinguished career, and recognition as Winnetka's 2011 Teacher of the Year. Her passion for teaching and dedications to her students is unsurpassed.

Newt Gingrich's laughable second coming in South Carolina

Newt Gingrich |
Commentators swear that the base accepts Mitt Romney scores better nationally, but they're angry and they won't let him have the nomination without a fight. I've heard that contention but it doesn't quite ring true.
Because, I mean, if a place like South Carolina can hold its nose and vote for a publicly disgraced serial adulterer with more skeletons in his closet than a Hammer Horror film, we really must have entered a new political age.
And in that new age the religious credibility of 'values voters' has vanished in a perfumed cloud of mistresses.

National Irish Coffee Day – how do you make the perfect Irish cocktail?
I was amazed, for the first five minutes, but then I noticed that the the tag #sanctityofopenmarriage was trending on Twitter and I couldn't stop laughing.
Why? Because now we'll never have to listen again to another South Carolinian 'values voter' scold us for our lack of moral fiber, that's for sure. And we certainly won't ever have to listen to Gingrich himself promoting 'traditional values.'
Some commentators tried to imagine what he's sound like if he even tried: 'I believe marriage is between a man and a woman and a woman and a woman?' quipped one. 'I believe in open marriage but not gay marriage!' jeered another.
Laughter was everywhere in the Twitterverse last night. It filled the nations blogs and chat forums. Laughter is probably not the reaction you're aiming for when it comes to choosing a presidential candidate. After all, isn't laughter the thing that politicians and despots fear most?
But in their anger and desperation the so-called 'traditional values' crowd have finally admitted that their 'traditional values' now include hypocrisy and three time adultery.
So much for the moral high ground.
It must be difficult for establishment Republicans to look in their own mirrors this morning: because Newt Gingrich's face is now the party's face; it's the jowly, self-satisfied image of an increasingly extremist party and it's angry take no prisoners spokesman.
It ain't pretty, that's for sure.
Last night, in full panic or protest mode, South Carolina actually threw the 2012 election and led the GOP right off a cliff. I couldn't believe it. It was utterly fascinating to watch.
Newt Gingrich certainly excites the radical right, the kind of crowds who boo loudly if you say the word 'Mexican,''Black' or 'Gay.' But what about everyone else? In a state where African-Americans make up 28 percent of the electorate only 1 percent of them voted in the South Carolina primary yesterday. What does that tell you about Ginrich's national chances?
Level headed Republican party leaders aren't stupid, they know that Gingrich is political kryptonite at the national level. They know he's doing for the party what Rick Perry just did for Texas. So they're spooked today, and rightly so.
There is a silver lining though - if Ginrich becomes the presidential candidate - because when he's thrashed at the polls in November his fate be a spectacular rebuke to the the ideologues and extremists who, for the last three decades, have hijacked the Republican party and increasingly scuppered their chances.
Now that would be change we could all believe in.

"Many of our past presidents had affairs, Eisenhower, JFK, and of course Bill Clinton and there are probably more if I could recall who they are right now." Yes. Of course, none of those made the centerpoint of their earlier career thundering condemnation from the heavens on some *other* politician who was having an affair, and trying to get them impeached, *at the same time they themselves were screwing around.* Newt is special that way. Incidentally, what exactly do you "like" about him? His enthusiasm for bringing back child labor and 19th century orphanages, perhaps?

"Why? Because now we'll never have to listen again to another South Carolinian 'values voter' scold us for our lack of moral fiber, that's for sure. And we certainly won't ever have to listen to Gingrich himself promoting 'traditional values.'
You would think, but that outcome would depend on any of them having an ounce of shame or self-awareness.

Scrivner my friend if you wish to vote for a candidate who was booed out of congress in disgraced by his own party,had three wives,had three religions,worked for FannieMay.Demonised clinton calling for his head for sexual misconduct and all the time having affairs(including a staffer),asked his wife to keep his mistress and his marriage (a troi menage maybe),you are entitled to vote for him it"s your choice.

... and to think I just read an article in Irish Central that 41% in Ireland have cheated!! JFK and Bill Clinton thought the White House was a good stepping off place for extra marital affairs! Most divorced people had someone on the side. Ok for democrats but not others. Again, Chair's double standard. Amazing how the left is that way.

The success of Newt just shows what a bunch of sanctimonious hypocrites the GOPers are, particularly their Teabagger wing. For all their self-righteous talk embracing "Family Values" and denigrating those evil "Washington Insiders," by choosing Adulter/Ultimate Insider Newt, they've shown their supposed high ideals to be utter hogwash. Indeed, the only idealogy GOPers truly believe in and refuse to abandon is their all-consuming hatred for Barack Obama.

The writer hasn't claimed to be a champion of 'traditional values' but Newt Gingrich has (and says he still is, which is hilarious). He gets the daughters of his first marriage to convince us his second wife is lying about his third one. Real classy. After South Carolina I for one will never listen to another conservative try to scold me about 'traditional values' ever again. Those people are hypocrites who elected a hypocrite.

I like Newt and any of the Republican candidates would be better than Obama.
Many of our past presidents had affairs, Eisenhower, JFK, and of course Bill Clinton and there are probably more if I could recall who they are right now. They were all effective Presidents. Some better than others. The one President who we know was faithful to his wife was Jimmy Carter and he was a terrible President.
I don't approve of masrried men having affairs however it does not mean that they will not be good at what ever else they do and perhaps that is President or CE of a large corporation.
Cahir O'Doherty is your life so spotless that you can stand in judgement of anyone? Newt has asked for Gods forgivness and if God can forgive him then so can I.

belcarra... You can't be serious. Do you actually think the GOP cares about anyone other than rich white men who pay 15% tax (on their investment income) while the rest of us "working people" pay the real tax bill. Did you happen to see the audience at the debate in South Carolina? I've never seen a larger group of "all white" people before on TV. And they all came out to see "their boy" Newt.

Scrivner | Jan 22, 2012, 05:17 PM EST
Seems like everyone that could be called "The Establishment" is piling on Newt for his serial sexual 'scapades (SSS), as if this would make him a bad head of state.
Let's evaluate some of our past Presidents in the light of history:
-G.W. Bush, for all his faults no one can say that he cheated on Laura, but would you say that he achieved greatness? Thought so.
-Bill Clinton, the poster boy for horndogs seemed to have an ok presidency when he saw the error of pushing national healthcare and raising taxes (with a little help from Newt as Speaker of the House).
-Ronald Reagan, the patron saint of conservatives was the first divorced man to hold the office, but he did bring the country out of depression, reformed welfare, revised and simplified the tax code.
-Jimmy Carter, pious and ineffective. Felt tremendous guilt about even thinking of another woman besides his wife, but should have felt more guilt over ruining the country's economy (can you say "stag-flation?)
-Gerald Ford, nice guy but had a hard row to hoe with the aftermath of Watergate and never had any rumors about being unfaithful to Betty.
-Richard Nixon, no sexual misdeeds, but introduced the world to the term "Watergate." No politician since has invoked his memory.
So, Sean, perhaps the Presidency requires someone who is not like you or me. Someone who is assertive with bold ideas and values the liberties that our founders forged in the furnace of revolution. Someone who will tell us what he means by hope and change. Someone who carries the scars of doing battle with the powerful. Someone just like Newt.

This morning I received an e-mail from the IRS and it explained how they are starting to prosecute those who are committing first-time homebuyer's credit fraud. The main point of the article was to remind taxpayers and preparers that you can't claim the credit until after your house has closed. With this being the case, do not count on using the $8,000 tax credit for closing costs! Also, a first-time homebuyer for credit purposes is someone who has not owned a home in the last three years. If the tax payer is married, this rule applies to their spouse as well.
I have spoken to a few local realtors and mortgage brokers in my area and they are saying that closings are taking longer then they did last year at this time. Their warning is: if you qualify for the first-time home buyer's credit and you plan on buying a house to receive the tax credit for 2009, you need to start the process NOW! Remember, to qualify, you have to have closed on your house by December 1st, 2009.

There's an inherent paradox in motivating programmers. I think this Geek Hero Comic illustrates it perfectly:
It's a phenomenon I've noticed even in myself. Nothing motivates like having another programmer tell you they're rewriting your code because it sucks. Dave Thomas has talked about this for years in his classic Developing Expertise presentation, supported by the following quote:
Interestingly enough, a friend of mine (who is a quality control manager in a hospital) often makes identical statements in reference to doctors: Polite requests, coercion, etc. are useless at best and often detrimental. Peer pressure and competition are the key.Don't try to race sheep,
Don't try to herd race horses
Yes, the use of the term sheep is mildly derogatory, but the general principle is sound: use motivational techniques that are appropriate to the level of developers you're working with. If you have neophyte developers, herd them with maxims, guidelines and static rules. If you have experienced developers, rules are less useful. Instead, encourage them to race: engage in a little friendly competition and show off how good they are to their peers.
tt on May 23, 2009 2:15 AMGiddy up! Thanks for the tips, will try them this week.
Franchise Whale on May 23, 2009 2:16 AMSomeone funnier than me that I used to work with described our Operations Director as taking a carrot and stick approach to motivation - except that the carrot was really big, and he'd hit you with it.
Dave on May 23, 2009 2:42 AMI strongly recommend that you read The Psychology of Computer Programming by Weinberg and please, please, please do not espouse this kind of stuff. As a hiring manager I would never want to hire a programmer who is so proud of their code that somebody rewriting their code motivates them. There is a very big difference in "taking pride" in your work and "being proud" of your work. I will take the former any day and shun the latter any day. Most projects are about team work and rewrites are a fact of life. I would go so far as to say the if you are not rewriting/refactoring your code, you are missing something big that will come back to bite you.
If you want to motivate a programmer, understand that if the programmer cannot find something in the project that appeals to them, you _will_ not get 100% from the person. Programmers IMO need to be challenged, but with tough, new or complex (not the same as tough) problems not by appealing to their egos and touching off an internecine war. Part of their work needs to be in an area that they are interested in. They need to have the flexibility to work when they want where they want (within limits of course). Provide them the resources required to get the job done and learn at the same time. Some form of free food also helps. If they still need extra motivation maybe its time for an honest conversation with them as to what they want to do and why its not working.
Just my $.02
AM on May 23, 2009 2:46 AMAM hit the nail on the head here. I'd also add that these sorts of competitions can be demoralizing - in the end, someone is "wrong". If all developers can come at an effort with humility, they'll understand that no code is perfect, and there are often many ways to solve one problem.
Umbrae on May 23, 2009 3:09 AMAM FTW.
If somebody comes to me and tells me that they've found a problem with my code, I'm grateful, and ask them to show me the fix so that I can understand where I went wrong and not repeat the mistake.
In any of the teams I've worked in, the programmer in the comic above would be the first against the wall when the revolution came.
Joe on May 23, 2009 3:16 AMI've run competitions in our office several times to create the "best" and most optimized code for a task and I won every time (note: there was no particular experience bias in the competitions)
Is the conclusion I should sack everyone else and write it myself?
Your right that some competition encourages better code - but I think that a better approach is a few good coders who will "get there in the end". Because the finished product is inherently better and more complete.
errant on May 23, 2009 3:31 AMBullshit. Rules are also good for exp. programmers. Yust because a programmer think hes good, he should not leave the path of rules. It is yust a lousy excuse for people who are to lousy at coding to follow rules, do comments rigth and so on.
gadthrawn on May 23, 2009 3:59 AMA some more bullshit for programmer who cannot follow rules or do comments the right way. There is nothing like an experienced programmer who should not follow rules. That are the bastard which code cannot be read a while later (even by themselves) and therefore not mantained.
AND THIS FUCKING VERIFICATION THING BEYOND SAYS FOR 1 COMMENT tHAT THERE ARE TO MANY COMMENTS. LOUSY BULLSHIT.
gadthrawn on May 23, 2009 4:03 AMAh...after a while the comment is shown even if the message is to many comments. sick. what are ropolitan bonitoes? #somtehing to eat?
gadthrawn on May 23, 2009 4:04 AMAs some have already indicated, that depends on what "flavor" the competition in your group/office is. It is strongly tied to what flavor (if any) of "teamwork" and "management culture" you have. When you have a culture of collaboration, the competition will be focused on contributing and helping others or "the team"; when your culture emphasizes "leadership" (and especially when that is attributed based on "visibility", posture, and verbal claims), this will foster domination by the most competitive and backstabbing jerks, and people who are not of that description will tend to drop out of the competition, or even withhold their "normal" level of contribution.
The use of peer pressure as a deliberate "performance management" tactic (as opposed to leaving it at the (healthy?) level to which it grows "organically") almost always correlates with the latter - bullying, poseurship, mediocrity, and politics.
Association fillip
.. hm.. lets see if it can make some sense:
Association to fillip: Shakespeare:
What is this?
Your knees to me? to your corrected son?
Then let the pebbles on the hungry beach
Fillip the stars; then let the mutinous winds
Strike the proud cedars 'gainst the fiery sun;
Murdering impossibility, to make
What cannot be, slight work.
That verification game below is funny.
Remaining removal - take out the waste
I never obeyed rules, I always left office before everyone else :-D
Itay Moav on May 23, 2009 4:24 AMI also agree with AM -
You want your team members to be motivated to help each other, and competition sort of kills this off.
All you need for a motivated programmer is a positive work environment, a manager that doesn't micromanage, and an interesting task :)
Mike on May 23, 2009 4:47 AMApologies @AM, but that sounds like load of pointy-haired hogwash and bollocks.
"As a hiring manager I would never want to hire a programmer who is so proud of their code that somebody rewriting their code motivates them."
You propose hiring people who dont care that whatever job they just did is so inadequate that it must be scrapped & redone?
"There is a very big difference in 'taking pride' in your work and 'being proud' of your work. "
How can you take pride if you arent proud of your work? The semantic difference you're slicing hairs over isnt nearly as obvious to me as it seems to appears for you; what exactly is the difference, please explain.
". . . rewrites are a fact of life. I would go so far as to say the if you are not rewriting/refactoring your code, you are missing something big that will come back to bite you."
I'm more receptive to this, but rewrite has very different meaning than refactor. Sometimes yes even rewrites are necessary, but there'd typically better be an epic story about changing requirements or extreme hardships encountered (or egregiously crappy code; code that qualifies as _dangerous_ to a project). I expect an awfully long retrospective when the word rewrite is raised.
Refactors should be continual, but refactors are usually related to bringing different bodies of code better in to alignment, rarely about fundamentally changing the way code is working: lessons learned + code improved type situations, and algorithmic changes only when trying to adapt to different patterns.
rektide on May 23, 2009 5:13 AMAwwwww,... did you change your beloved and mind intriguing orange captcha because of peer pressure?
I kinda miss that orange captcha.
Dhany on May 23, 2009 5:15 AM"Nothing motivates like having another programmer tell you they're rewriting your code because it sucks."
Maybe I'm not a typical programmer, but I find someone telling me my code sucks is the opposite of motivational. In fact, wasn't there some research suggesting that "bad apples" like this could reduce team performance?
I typed "orange" and my post got rejected!
Michael on May 23, 2009 6:20 AM..or you could try treating them like human beings..sheesh.
capar on May 23, 2009 6:52 AMRules are to be followed until you know _why_ they're rules and when it's appropriate to bend, twist, or outright break them.
James on May 23, 2009 7:35 AMholy crap the orange captcha is gone!!!
and btw reCAPTCHA isn't that great i'd recommend http://www.phpcaptcha.org/
There is no such thing as friendly competition. Judging each other and ourselves is useless. Stop promoting it Jeff
mempko on May 23, 2009 10:01 AMI wouldn't know. Nobody has ever rewritten my code while I was still there. (Except me. And I hate that.) :-)
PRMan on May 23, 2009 10:59 AMWhoa... When did you get rid of the "Orange" captcha? I kinda miss it.
Interesting post. I wonder which I am?
Asmor on May 23, 2009 10:59 AMRules are fine, so long as you understand and agree with the reasoning behind them. Few things are as useless and discouraging as are rules seen as arbitrary - "use the new coversheet for your TPS reports"...
Friendly competition is fine, so long as it stays friendly; let it get out of hand, and watch cooperation disappear, as each team or each team member begins to view sharing information as a liability.
Orange is no longer the CAPTCHA, eh? Well i for one welcome our youngest dormice...
Shog9 on May 23, 2009 11:06 AMIt cuts into your sovereignty as a programmer.
Joey Robert on May 23, 2009 11:08 AMHow is this a paradox?
Programmer1995 on May 23, 2009 11:28 AMBest post here in a long while. I was beginning to despair.
Anyway... looks like "orange" is no longer good enough.
Joel Coehoorn on May 23, 2009 11:31 AMI agree, and I would say more, if it wasn't for the more pressing matter - are you going to write another version of the orange article now?
Now you've pointed this out no self-respecting programmer is going to obey rules because that would make them a sheep.
I'm definitely a racehorse. :)
Paul on May 23, 2009 12:19 PMShouldn't you try to motivate them before they write the code, not after?
Dom on May 23, 2009 12:33 PMCompetition does motivate me, but telling me my code sucks is simply stating a fact I already know. At the end of a software project I'll know far more about the problem domain than I did at the beginning, so any solution I programmed in the past sucks compared what I could do in the present.
Jester on May 23, 2009 12:44 PMSorry, but what a load of rubbish.
If your programmers need those kinds of shallow tactics to produce code, your methods are wrong; your management sucks; and you most definitely have the wrong programmers. They should be proud of every line they collaboratively produce, not constantly looking behind their backs.
Chris on May 23, 2009 12:49 PMIt works on me, that's for sure. I don't really get offended by it though (although, depending on WHO is going to change it, sometimes I worry that they will just BREAK it).
Taylor Marshall on May 23, 2009 12:52 PMHaha... I'm still in college, but I'm in the second (competitive) group - it always throws my friends off when I let that side show...
Izkata on May 23, 2009 1:12 PM"Best post here in a long while." Agreed. I laughed, I felt enlightened. Awesome.
ian on May 23, 2009 1:18 PMI recently gave in with a co-worker producing ridiculously amateur code, and have given up the "lets see what we can do to improve your coding" game and switched to the "rewriting from scratch the last week of code in 2 hours" plan. While there may be merit to threatening to rewrite someones code, actually having to do it is horrible and I would not recommend it unless their code jeopardizes your project. Its akin to having people on the team slapping each other in the face, and its not a pleasure for either party.
My verification CATPTCHA is "waste of": thats somehow fitting.
rektide on May 23, 2009 1:37 PMthis post reminds me of the games we used to play at school. those of you who remember turbo C know that it was/is extremely unforgiving. instead of competing against each other we would see who could sit down and type a program form start to finish, compile it and have it run with out a single bug.
of course some malicious moron (Mr malice) on the team would type a letter, symbol or the number zero into your program just to break it which also taught us to "idiotproof" our programs.
then that lecturer at university with his day one motivational talk. "hello all, I'll be taking you in C. not all of you will be here at the end of the year. it is not your fault. they call me Mr malice, but that is okay..." most people hated him, some quit his class and a select few of us remember him with fondness now because they can write code. working code. the motivation, cajoling and competitions shaped me.
"they call me mr mallice, but it's okay..."

Silvercode on May 24, 2009 2:14 AM>> you have UML Specification of your project
If you have that, you have bigger problems than just motivation of programmers. You probably program in Java, you (mis)use Agile and TDD, and your software is overengineered to hell. Your developers regret they were ever born, but come to the office for the paycheck, and pretend they're working by coming up with more UML, unit tests (that don't test any failure cases), and Spring configuration XML files. It's kinda hard to motivate people in this environment.
DMB on May 24, 2009 2:28 AMThis is definately true.
At a pevious job I was the sole developer on a project. It was good but I was managing everything so sometimes I would be more motivated to check mail and only do the bare minimum work in a day.
Until one day I was off sick and another developer had decided to change large, random parts of my code!
I was quite annoyed and just had to jump up and fix everything.
Dean Nolan on May 24, 2009 3:07 AMNice post! I think it's very true. Your post inspired me a dream up a Code Fight competition (http://tejasjoshi.wordpress.com/2009/05/24/code-fight-competition/) in my dream organization.
Tejas on May 24, 2009 3:08 AM"You'll turn into Jeff Atwood if you don't do your work!" That's how I would motivate my programmers.
Richard Kyanka on May 24, 2009 5:12 AMHelp - I can't read this Captcha!!!
Seriously though, the most motivating thing I have seen is having developers' code peer reviewed at scheduled meetings. This allows "star" developers to educate others, and seems the best way to facilitate knowledge sharing. Just don't leave the meeting until the code is completed, then you just come up with a lot of frustrating "you should have done XYZ".
I've never found competition successful in IT, people in IT tend to be the most un-competitive people I've met, and the fact another developer is editing their code just leaves them smirking with a wry smile as if to say "gool luck sucker".
Great blog, think everyone has experienced the motivation of code being discredited as bad.
Qua on May 24, 2009 5:42 AMWhat de-motivates me are managers going on about hard work, bonus schemes and teamwork while their 'plans' are a series of guesses that are presented as 'deadlines'.
Sam on May 24, 2009 6:21 AM@gadthrawn: chill and desist
Erm... my condolances for getting even more agitated responses for ditching orange then before... I'm pretty sure I was I was solid in the fron rows of that peer-pressure faction hehe
Anyways, as ever, you can expect the fuss to die down with time (as the surprise gets forgotten) and there is reason to assume there will be less residual croaking on the topic of captcha, since, well, erm... it is simply less *broken*.
To be fair, I miss the oranges as well. May I suggest
Behold the correct word:
Or perhaps make it disabled to prevent it getting the focus (or you'll still get flames :)).
Disclaimer: my HTML stems from the Gopher era. Plus it hasn't been exercised *since* the Gopher era.
firstname.lastname@example.com on May 24, 2009 6:26 AMApperently "no HTML" does not imply "plaintext" as I assumed:
label for="orange" Behold the correct word: /labelinput name="orange" id="orange" value="orange"/
Also: s/fron/front/, s/then/than/
Having "orange" as the captcha was never going to work for long. reCaptcha's a good step up.
Merus on May 24, 2009 6:51 AMThe most memorable quote from my programming days in college
after I complained how hard it would be to create bounding boxes in my ray-tracer.... my friend said to me:
"Oh, well, I think I could do it in about an hour"
The race was on!
Anonymous on May 24, 2009 7:49 AMDitto to AM's comments. Plus, why wasn't the problem caught during the code review before it was baselined? Did testing or operational use determine that the system wasn't meeting its response time specifications? If so, was an analysis of the system done to pinpoint Randall's code as the code that should be changed to fix the problem? Or, is this a case of premature optimization?
David A. Lessnau on May 24, 2009 7:57 AMI'm an engineer on the reCAPTCHA team -- it's great to see reCAPTCHA on codinghorror.
@rektide -- We believe that CAPTCHA's shouldn't be a "waste of" time, which is why one of the words is from an old book or newspaper which we're helping to digitize.
@Andrew -- The phpcaptcha.org captchas are all fairly trivial to break, they use color in such a way to make breaking the CAPTCHA much, much easier. None of them present any challenge in segmentation, and some are probably harder for color blind users. Sadly, there are a lot of CAPTCHA implementations out there which have not undergone proper usability and security testing.
PS: just noticed this -- you might want to set the tabindex property using javascript so that people can tab from the comment box over to the CAPTCHA field
The logical extension of this is that no developer works on any part of the code for any significant period of time without handing it off to another team member. Period. No exceptions. If you're using pairs, then substitute "pair" for "developer".
To start, I suggest a time period not greater than 1 week. That should be more than enough to get the code working, or improve it, or fix any bugs assigned to you. And if it takes longer than that, the next developer in rotation will take it up.
The benefits should be clear. Developers will be forced to either document their code or communicate with one another. The bad apples who can't communicate or can't write maintainable code will become painfully obvious to everyone, rather than being able to hide in the shadows or bury incompetent work. All the code will eventually rotate through every developer, so familiarity will be widespread. All the code will also be reviewed by every developer, and if bugs can't be immediately fixed by one, they will be annotated in the source. Furthermore, because no one person controls any part, the overall team morale will organically support the team as a whole and the product as a whole, rather than being divided into petty fiefdoms and isolated areas of alleged expertise.
Sounds great, doesn't it?
So ask yourself why reality doesn't work that way.
Ed on May 24, 2009 11:48 AMI'm OK with someone telling me my code sucks. If he can tell me WHY.
PaulG. on May 24, 2009 12:01 PMI agree with Jeff. Not so long ago a senior developer I deeply respect, was looking at my code and mumbled something to the effect of "how can people write something like this?"
The result was that I refactored my code, and made is smaller, faster, more modular. A hurt pride does wonders.
And people, stop acting like prima donnas - chances are you aren't the best, and constructive criticism and competition are here to help you. Shut down your egoes for a second, use your brains.
Max on May 24, 2009 12:16 PMThe other side of the coin that I've seen is when other developers try to rewrite someone's code cause 'it sucks' when in reality, that code is great, but the person rewriting it is not smart enough to understand it or even work with it.
Heck, I've even been guilty of this, only to find out later after many trials my code is approaching the code that I am trying to rewrite.
Steve-O on May 24, 2009 1:14 PMI don't get it. What's the paradox? hm ... ok, cool, whatever.
Charles on May 24, 2009 1:46 PM@James: I think that is crap. Many programmers think they know why and when to break rules. But they don't. If you work in big project breaking style or programming rules is counterproductive and making other programmers extra work in "fixing" the bullshit to standard format when maintaining the code.
My experience says (or better: screams out loud) that the experienced programmer you mentioned are the ones which does not follow coding guidelines, does not comment code, does not know what there codes does a year later (and also have no longer the domain knowledge) and much much worse: Do not follow specification documents and not give back feedback where they "twist" it. Then you have UML Specification of your project, and in some parts quite fast lacks where a stupid coder thinks he knows better. Normally this types of programmers change projects so fast that they never now how much money they burn.
DawnOfWar on May 24, 2009 1:51 PMAnd oh, i've a "dogmatic dignity" .... if you think about the captchas, they try to make sense
DawnOfWar on May 24, 2009 1:53 PMAs long as there are developers who think:
It cuts into your sovereignty as a programmer.
There will be the need to motivate developers. You're not a frakkin country. Not checking in to source control may be the equivelant of borders, but when you're working on a team for someone else, you don't have the right to go dark. Sovereignty.
K2TheX on May 25, 2009 2:16 AMSo, I guess your next post will have to explain the advantages of reCaptcha compared to orange ...
MyKey_ on May 25, 2009 2:51 AMHey Jeff,
I don't know whether this ever happened with orange, but I had to do an extra reload after posting my comment because I didn't show up the first time.
MyKey_ on May 25, 2009 2:55 AM@Max
"And people, stop acting like prima donnas - chances are you aren't the best, and constructive criticism and competition are here to help you. Shut down your egoes for a second, use your brains."
I'm all in favor of constructive criticism, but I don't think that's what Jeff is arguing here. Rewriting someone's code "because it sucks" is not constructive, and encouraging developers to "show off how good they are to their peers" is not asking them to shut down their egos.
"I don't know whether this ever happened with orange, but I had to do an extra reload after posting my comment because I didn't show up the first time."
I don't think that's anything to do with the improved captcha - I used to have to do that with the old orange method.
Personally, I'd like to congratulate Jeff on finally fixing the captcha. Now if only he could fix the other problems with comments, such as adding threading, or at least numbering comments.
Steve W on May 25, 2009 3:47 AM@Steve W
Agreed! Numbering comments would be an improvement.
MyKey_ on May 25, 2009 3:56 AM@Steve-O
"but the person rewriting it is not smart enough to understand it or even work with it."
That's pretty much my definition of "this code sucks".
Anonymous on May 25, 2009 6:43 AM
Internal competition has to walk a fine line between in-fighting/insecurity and promoting an enjoyable/learning atmosphere at work. Anything that destroys cooperation within your software team is going to be detrimental at some point.
Where I work the notion of code "ownership" is an officially sanctioned, strictly enforced policy ("thou shall not touch my code or you shall be piunished). I cannot convince the management that it is a counterproductive practice so I learn to live with it.
And here I get something unexpected. Based on the comments above, I conclude that officially-sanctioned "code ownership" is not such a limited practice as I thought. In fact, most commentors seem to accept it as quite natural.
I am very (unpleasantly) surprised. Was I wrong in my beliefs?
Jeff I don't think you have any basis for this argument I know best you don't get out
Anonymous Faggot on May 25, 2009 10:46 AMHey, great post, and I'm glad to see a popular site using "reCaptcha". It's a great example of killing two birds with one stone.
A. L. Flanagan on May 25, 2009 11:04 AMFight, slaves, fight!
Fight, slaves, fight!
Fight, slaves, fight!
Gooooooooo SLAVES!
I just wanted to say Jeff, this was a very timely post. Keep up the good work!
Matthew Sweet on May 26, 2009 7:46 AMAnd somehow developers rise to say designers are prima donnas, vain people who can't stand criticism...
I'm licensed to say that, since I'm of both sides of this. : )
But an interesting thing to notice, nonetheless.
Bruno Bergher on May 26, 2009 8:15 AMThe irony is that this really is true, even when we know our code is not the fastest written...How DARE they improve my algorithm?
Go reCAPTCHA!
If you refresh enough you are likely to still see "orange." :D
(And you might win the lottery too)
Practicality on May 26, 2009 8:20 AMBad analogy. 'Racehorses' are herd animals:
so... you absolutely can 'herd racehorses.' In fact, you herd these horses any time you let them wander the pasture, or lead them into a stable.
If you race a horse 100% of the time, you'll only wind up with a dead racehorse.
Cooperation and teamwork both are well and good, but when bonuses and promotions often are geared to individual performance, they can be thrown by the wayside. If someone has family responsibilities, going home to the wife and saying, "I didn't get the raise, but I sure did work well with everyone" isn't going to cut it.
It's a competetive world, boys and girls. If someone isn't up to snuff when it comes to being able to do the work, it is doing a company absolutely no good to waste time getting them to a serviceable level. It's best to cut your losses and move on. Having someone who needs to have his code reviewed and rewritten constantly is worse than having no one at all. No one is perfect, but you probably can think of someone you've worked with who clearly wasn't good enough.
Ideals are great, but let's live in the real world. It's survival of the fittest.
Jay on May 26, 2009 11:23 AMGreat post! Programmers need to 'race' in order to stay competitive. You need a few people in your organization who can make others 'race' and keep them not only on the edge of their seats but also on the edge of technology. I currently fulfill a role something akin to that in my workplace :) Programming is challenging and that's why we like it. Moreover, programming has a lot of challenge left because it is still largely an art. Every program can be made better from one perspective or another, and every time you 'race' yourself you become a better programmer.
Tathagata Chakraborty on May 26, 2009 11:37 AMDepends if you are self-centered and competitive. Some of the worst code I wrote in the .NET framework is being rewritten from scratch right now, and I couldn't be happier about that...
Bertrand Le Roy on May 26, 2009 11:42 AMMicrosoft does this and has got hit a lot more than it would admit.
Google, on the other hand, takes Grand Challenge type problems and asks their guys to cooperate, not compete. They dont fight each other, or peer-pressur-ize the office, they fight tough problems and do concept mashups to make new solutions to big problems. ( I'm not going into negative aspects of known Microsoft management strategies. )
The end of "The Era of Orange" ;-) seems like the end of Agent Orange! :-D :-D
But Rays of hope from The Mountains are still very tricky, as always...
ReCAPTCHA-ing the web isn't all that appealing for a *workhorse*, race horses may rightfully disagree.
Haha, CodingHorror readers are sitting in front of the their PCs pressing the refresh button on reCaptcha trying to get it to display the word "Orange"...
UPDATE: 'Practicality' beat me to it :)

Juan on May 27, 2009 3:04 AMI like the idea of using this on doctors. They are hard people to get to listen to you.
Regis on May 28, 2009 4:40 AMRules are essentially abstractions. They're meant to encapsulate the details of some process so that thinking isn't required to carry out the process in a consistent way.
Since a rule is essentially an abstraction, it follows Joel's "Law of Leaky Abstractions", stated thus:
"All non-trivial abstractions, to some degree, are leaky."
Level 1 & 2 programmers can't identify the leaks. They aren't able to perform necessary re-evaluations of the rules to make them more robust and more performant. I work with many developers (some with 10 years under their belt) that are stuck at level 1-2. They lead teams of others, and their non-technical management just accepts their poor performance and chalks it up to: "Well, i guess that's just how long things take."

hahaha! Excelen joke, and it is true.
At my last job I had a coworker who didn't care about code quality, only that "it worked". Eventually, I tried something like this and got nowhere. Ironically he's now in charge of updating his own code, so he's starting to get it, but still seems to treat all projects as one off solutions he'll never look at again - despite being forced to look at them again.
On the other hand, I have no illusions of perfection, and want other programmers to review/improve my code.
I can't believe no one has mentioned the fact that both animals mentioned are motivated by threats in order to perform the behaviors they are associated with. The race horse has a small being at least a quarter of its size (presumably containing a quarter of its natural talent as well) sitting on its back whipping it to run in a circle. The sheep have to deal with a yappy little dog nipping at its ankles all day in order to be herded.
Count me out of being either...both possibilities sound horrifying.
Mike Foster on May 31, 2009 10:34 AM@Jay: The company should have rules for programming. Also there should be code reviews in any case. Some rules could be enforced by automatic check runs.
If someone breaks the rules, he should correct the mistakes, not someone else. If the breaker doesn't correct, then he might get away with it, but others start to dislike the rule breaker.
All code should look a bit similar, not different. And there are many rules that are not just about style, for example normalizing the database to the third form. You can compete with others still, but there should be some minimum rules that should be followed. I mean if your company regards it good / obligatory practise to use some rule, then make the rule a rule, not a gossip. If you just gossip about how someone didn't follow a "rule" and therefore is worse than others, what good that gives?

about this on June 4, 2009 12:10 PMi don't believe this applies to all coders..
some coders i've encountered don't even care what will happen next to their codes once they've seen it working.
they will even appreciate it if somebody modifies their codes! saves them the work.
yayix on June 5, 2009 10:32 AMBeen there, done that.
Josh on June 5, 2009 1:14 PMReally, what you have written is a bit of a nonsense.
Motivation is a managerial issue and there are many different techniques to motivating individuals, groups and teams which applies to any profession.
Stick to talking about programming (because your 'About Me' section suggests you might know something about that) and leave articles on management techniques alone!

ErbotPisg: Pisg is a software that helps you create fun channel statistics from channel logs. To create channel statistics from erbot's logs, see: http://www.math.tu-berlin.de/~freundt/ErbotPage.html
You need to have libtranslate-bin installed. Ubuntu Dapper provides it here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/libs/libtranslate-bin, debian does not yet provide it. From then on, simply enable your bot's erbot-translate-p and disable erbot-paranoid-p. See also more technical notes at the bottom of ErbotEmacs. Here are some examples:
How to interact with your local erbot without connecting to the internet?
No way currently, except for these hacks:
What's a handy way to start up erbot?
screen -d -m emacs -nw -f erbot-join-servers
This should start up erbot and have it join the channel you want. You won't realize this, of course, because screen will have detached the process. To get at that emacs process, reattach screen:
screen -r
screen -DR <name>
Or not. The bot should be running in your channels, so unless you want to change some things this is unnecessary (and, well, kind of defeated the purpose of screen).

Hotel Marionetas Review
Attentive proprietors Daniel and Sofija Bosco, who are originally from Argentina and Macedonia, have created this lovely B&B on a quiet street seven blocks from the main plaza. From the Macedonian lace dust ruffles and fine cotton sheets and bedspreads to the quiet, remote-controlled air-conditioning and pressurized showerheads (there are no tubs), every detail and fixture here is of the highest quality. You'll delight in the carefully chosen folk-art decoration throughout. It's important to book your reservation well in advance. You can pick up the Wi-Fi signal in some rooms but not others, so let the staff know if you'll be bringing a laptop when you book. The suite on the second floor includes a well-stocked kitchen.

For centuries, people have carried a picture of angel with them as a source of good fortune. And for centuries, the most powerful and most miraculous was the picture of angel inscribed on the legendary Lucky Angel Coin.
This beautiful and elegantly crafted 24 Karat Gold coin is an exact replica of the original Augustine Dupre creation for King Louis XVI in 1792. The miracle of the picture of angel inscription originated when Dupre--a devout believer in the power of angels--escaped a beheading with the inadvertent use of his Angel Coin. The picture of angel inscribed on the coin has been considered lucky since then.
Today there are hundreds of stories attributed to the miracles provided by the picture of angel on the coin. Napoleon wore around his neck the Angel Coin with the picture of angel (until he threw it into a Belgian river one night). Hermann Goering, the engineer of Hitler's insane dreams, buried hundreds of thousands of these coins out of fear. And the picture of angel minted on the coin is highly revered by French fisherman who never go to sea without them. In fact, people across the world regularly report of amazing tales attributed to the picture of angel inscribed on the Angel Coin.
There is a secret why this picture of angel is so powerful. Just click on the link below to discover the secret behind this remarkable picture of angel. And remember, the picture of angel on the Lucky Angel Coin is GUARANTEED to remake your life within 90 days!

Question for those who have VAGCOM. When you look at the coding for Instruments, what does it say as being your "Country" and what are the implications? I've attached a screen shot of my reading below and the string to look at is the first one which reads 0003103. If I read it right, the fifth number along indicates that my car is set as "Europe" rather than 7 for Australia.
Just curious to see what other Golfs read. This screen shot is for a Mk5 - I believe it's slightly different for a Mk6.

each car is different - that screen shot may not apply to your car.
using VCDS 11.11.3 on my 2011 Jetta Mk5 has a completely differnet screen shot... basically similar to long coding.
I have only 2 options
Bit 0-3 Distance Impulse number
Bit 4-7 Country.
Mine is set to 00011000 which is
Bit 0-3 : 08 Distance Impulse number 8
Bit 4-7 : 10 Country Rest of World (RoW)
Distance meter can change how you speedo reads. Most VW's read way under actual speed (GPS comparison) - due to strategic planning or choice of undersised tyre combinations at factory.
Anyway I changed my Bit 0-3 to the highest impulse 8 and now my speedo reads only 4% under at 100km/hr rather then 8-9% it was previously
Country Code - changes how the display operates (km vs miles, degrees F vs Celcius etc) and some functions of headlight lighting US do not have DRL options or City Lights etc
2011 VW Jetta MK5 125TDI Mods with still a few extra creature comforts
1996 VW Golf Mk3 1.9TDI Mods pretty well sorted
Thanks for the info guys. Gigitt, that screenshot is of my car, that's why I was curious as to why it's set to Europe. Makes perfect sense re the units displayed, etc.
Australian cars are usually set to Europe or rest of world. It also changes some extra comfort settings for lighting like coming home, corner lighting with fogs lights. USA people when adding fogs turn on Europe or RoW to add fogs as US setting does not have this feature they then have to change he temp and travel setting s back to F and miles via the MFD
the usa function activates the ding ding ding alarm when the drivers door is open and the key is still in the ignition. UK and USA settings give MPH and MPG as initial settings but can be changed as already mentioned. Any other hints??? What is peculiar about the australia setting?

Recent media events have shown the paparazzi are out of control. When a celebrity cannot take a step without being attacked and blinded by cameras and slurs; it's time to stop. Being a celebrity does not mean the person is no longer human and has unlimited coping resources. Life can be hard for everyone and living every breath in front of invasive cameras can be debilitating and deadly. When an individual is at an event when it is appropriate to be photographed; they don't complain. Being treated worse than a criminal IS criminal. Make this stop or don't be shocked when someone loses their life trying to deal with or escape from these "photographers". Please sign this petition to help protect the people that entertain us. No one would want this for themselves; don't sit by while it happens to others. Thank you!

Re: Heyman says Rolen to the Reds
For the record, I'd reached a point where I thought it was time for EdE to be replaced as well. I think Rolen's age, salary and health status made him a poor target. Having to include good arms in the deal to even up the money makes it that much worse. The Reds could have done a number of things with 3B that did not involve dealing Roenicke or Stewart and they could have done a number of things with Roenicke or Stewart that would have been a much bigger improvement to this team. Taking on money, dealing two of the better prospects in the system to become older and more injury prone is just horrible. The most likely scenario is that a season of full-time duty wears on Rolen's back and he becomes a part time guy again like he was in 2007 and 2008. That is hardly an improvement over EdE and certainly not worth more dollars or the opportunity cost of dealing Roenicke and Stewart. I also share the sentiment that his leadership skills may be over-rated. He was run out of Philly and Larussa banished him from St, Louis. I don't know the details of either situation, but the pattern does not scream team leader to me.
My favorite part of all of this is Jocketty saying "I just decided to give in."

Having better players makes "the right time" or "the big hit" happen a lot more often. PLUS PLUS
