I drove the 1.8 TFSI but wonder how the 1.4 TFSI COD compares as both cars have the same torque of 250 Nm. Anybody drove both cars ? Fuel consumption on the COD must be much better but what about sheer fun ? Thanks
Hi, yes it does if you are talking about the 140ps version, the 1.8 will have better out and out performance but whether this will be noticeable under normal motoring I wouldn't be so sure and the 1.4 will be cheaper to run. 2013 Audi A3 Saloon 1.8 TFSI review and pictures | evo
Ahh okay this is nice to know as I have ordered the 1.4 cod hence my question. How about you, what are you driving or planing to buy?
In the mean time I could extensively compare both the 1.8 TFSI and a 1.4 TFSI CoD. I was pleasantly surprised by the CoD engine. It was so much fun driving and in comparison with the 1.8 TFSI it felt less raw. Sure at top speed you will miss some power in the CoD but at the end it is for me much more fun to drive more economically so I chose the 1.4 CoD
Went for the 1.4 CoD on my order after reading much praise in reviews. By all accounts it's just as "fizzy" as the 1.8 for everyday driving. My current car is 95bhp so i thought it would be enough of an improvement for me in terms of enjoyment and power.
I think they seem to be like two totally different engines. I've got the 1.4 CoD (which is great by the way!) but seeing the 1.8 perform on youtube it seems to be quite happy producing power from 4k-6k RPM. The 1.4 CoD is more 'diesel' like in its power delivery i.e. it produced quite a bit of mid range torque (which is great for every day driving). There isn't really much more from 5k-6k rpm. Here's a video showing the 1.8 2013 Audi A3 1.8 TFSI 180 NICE! OnBoard - YouTube It seems to me the 1.8 is a more 'sporty' engine than the 1.4 CoD. That being said the 1.4 CoD is pretty flexible, it'll still pull in 6th gear (manual) from 40 MPH upwards. Makes motorway driving a breeze!
Hi guys have any of you got the s-tronic car. If so how's it like to drive I have heard reports of the gearbox being quoted as "disappointingly jerky", is this true? These are the words of WHAT AR
Never driven the COD but I have the 1.8T S-Tronic and it does just continue to pull at higher revs. In fact that's where it really comes alive. With the soundproofing you really can't hear that it's revving up that high. Thanks for video link - will check it out when I have better mobile reception. John.
I also have the 1.8 S-Tronic and it is a beautiful engine it is really refined with a nice smooth power delivery, my old Subaru had noticeable turbo lag, it was flat until the turbo kicked in around 2500-3000 rpm then it flew. This is nothing like that! Silky smooth power delivery right up to the redline It is smooth an civilised if the S-Tronic is left in Drive, pop it into Sport or drive select into Dynamic and it really livens up. It's a quiet engine but in the higher rev range at has a lovely rasp to the exhaust note make you want to push on Not felt any torque steer either, that surprised me The only downside is if your not used to the characteristics of the S-Tronic 1.8 you may notice a slight "lag" pulling out at a junction due to how early the car changes from 1st into 2nd, but pop it into Sport at tight junctions or roundabouts and this will cure it All this said I have not driven a COD so can't comment on that set up. Reading the reports on here the COD is more efficient if that is what your after, but for me the fun is in the drive and get around 25mpg in town and 45-50 on a run. Hope this helps
P.S sorry as for the gearbox, if left in Drive it is smooth as silk, but pop it into Sport and you can feel the down changes as you would expect along with a nice little blip of the throttle
I watched this video so many times while waiting for the car lol but the dude is changing gear with the paddles and his gear changes are all over the place? I think most of us would be a little smoother than that, if not just leave in the auto
Regarding cylinder on demand thingy, I just thought I'd share this link. Audi A3 Review: 1.4 TFSI Cylinder on Demand | CarAdvice
its a good review and seams balanced, but still praises the C.O.D. And the A3 in general, nothing new but seams a bit more thought out. lots of reviews just written on what they expect to find and following everyone else's opinion. In some reviews you wonder if they have even driven the car they are writing about or just plagiarising what they have read some where.
Johnny and 97cata sum the 1.8 up totally A little jerky in different drive select modes and sometimes around town dependant on situation. Remember the car can't see the road so will change gear on revs. With a manual you choose thus meaning if traffic only moved a few feet you on the manual would stay in 1 gear. The S Tronic at this point could have jumped 2 gears. Driving the S Tronic I'm sure you can appreciate what I'm saying. Again the car really does keep pulling! It's not neck snapping by any stretch but once in the higher revs it is a smile maker oh and the exhaust rasp is cool too
I believe that the exhaust note, or tone, is actually produced by some kind of 'sound box' equivalent to the 'symposer' that is fitted to my engine. It uses the induction side of the engine to make that 'rasp', or 'zing'.
Yes, with the box in Drive and Drive select in comfort, auto, or Eco the changes are very smooth, almost in noticeable. But Dynamic with the Box in Sport you can feel them, and to be honest I would be disappointed if it was any different, because that's the idea! This is the reason why we have drive select, Eco is attempting to give you the most fuel economy making the throttle response slower, changing gear at the most economic time, and giving you "Coasting" when power is not needed. Comfort gives you slower gear changes to smooth out the change, average throttle response, and engine braking. Dynamic throws economy and comfort out of the window giving you the best performance, quicker gear changes, snappier throttle response, revs are held longer, throttle blips on the down change to match engine revs, this is all because it's expecting you to be driving it like you stole it In dynamic driving it hard the up changes are still smooth and the power delivery is very linear, so the sensation of acceleration is not as dramatic as a manual because the jerkyness of changing gear is not there even though you are just as quick. My cousin recently took me out in his Bentley Continental GT Speed 600+ BHP W12, mega fast with an S-Tronic style gearbox, the characteristics of the box are exactly the same, even the same layout with the weird back to front + and - when changing manually with the stick. Obviously a VAG thing
Do both have the 7-speed S-tronic or is the 1.8 TFSI the 6-speed wet clutch variant? I know the quattro is definitely 6-speed.
Both have the 7-speed dry-clutch s-tronic. Only the 2.0TDI-150 and the 1.8TFSI quattro and 2.0TDI-184 quattro models have the 6-speed s-tronic. I'm on my fourth 2.0TDI and all four have had the 6-speed s-tronic and they are brilliant. My wife had a test drive a couple of years ago in a Polo with the 7-speed and she did say it was not a nice to use as the 6-speed in my A3.
Thanks. The inconsistencies and errors in Audi's used car listings are unbelievable - so many of these have said 6-speed on a 1.8 (non-quattro)! I drive a 1.2 TSI DSG 7-speed right now and I'm happy with the box, aside from wheelspin on fast launches.

The 2015 program will be released April 22, the day before 2015 tickets go on sale. To whet your appetite, we'll be leaking one artist per week, starting February 2. Shakey Graves is the leak of the week teaser.
Shakey Graves
Alejandro Rose-Garcia, aka Shakey Graves, began making music as part New York City's 'anti-folk' scene. From his earlier career as an actor to playing dive bar open-mic nights around his hometown of Austin, TX, he has moved quickly from obscurity into the national spotlight, critical acclaim and major media attention.
His first album, Roll the Bones, in 2011 established the powerful, mesmerizing Shakey Graves sound of Rose-Garcia accompanying himself on guitar and a handmade kick drum built out of an old suitcase. Journalists praised the one-man band gnarly blues/folk composite as "astonishing…unclassifiably original."
His new record, And the War Came, extends the emotional and sonic ground as it delves into trials and tribulations of domestication, and represent more of what he calls the 'Cyborg Shakey Graves' – an evolution from the earlier 'Mr, Folk, Hobo Mountain' persona.

This game does not load.
I'm sure you'll come back and say it has to do with Chrome's proprietary flash player.
Guess what? You have to do some really specific and moronic stuff for Chrome's flash player to actually break.
So it's your fault and your refusal to fix it is disgusting.

Success has come early for the delighted Kevin and Simon, says Andrea Smith
After the mixed results at the scales last week, many of our bootcampers came to the conclusion that they needed to increase the intensity when it came to exercise this week. And the work paid off, because while the group members are hoping to lose 14 pounds and 14 inches each on the Slim Solutions Bootcamp this month, two of them actually achieved it this week. Well done to Kevin Scanlon and Simon Kennedy on a great result.
"Over the course of the 29 days, the bootcampers were doing cardiovascular exercise, such as walking and running, combined with resistance exercise," says our health and fitness expert Karl Henry. "I think you ideally need to do both together to get the best results, as you are working all aspects of the body in many different ways. This combination, linked with a healthy low GI diet, is what has given such great results over the past three weeks. This plan is built for long-term health, and giving you the quick start you need to get the changes you're looking for. Quick fixes don't work in the long-term, and that's why I'm so passionate about what I do."
Total weight lost this week: 31.5lbs
Total weight loss to date: 115lbs
This week our bootcampers were learning how to exercise more effectively
Ensure you are working hard enough, no matter what form of exercise you are doing. You can measure this by using the "talk test", making sure that you are slightly out of breath but still able to hold a conversation.
This ensures that you are burning the right type of fuel and getting the maximum benefits possible.
Change what you are doing as often as possible. The body reacts to change, so change your weight, your routine, your speed or time, and watch the difference it makes.
Resistance training gives you the best benefits, so don't leave it out. It helps to tone and shape the body as well as promoting lean muscle tissue, which is always good.

TIMBER OPERATORS COUNCIL RETIREMENT PLAN AND TRUST is a Defined Benefit Plan providing retirees with a predetermined monthly retirement benefit upon reaching a specific age.

The retirement benefit is typically payable to the employee upon attainment of their normal retirement age for the remainder of his/her lifetime. Benefits under this type of plan are often referred to as accrued benefits. This type of plan does not maintain individual accounts for employees.Plan & Company Information: |

My sister is marrying a guy with whom she has lived for six years. They are inviting his ex-wife and many of her relatives to the wedding. One of his ex's nieces will even be in the wedding party. I feel it is tacky to have his ex-wife at the wedding, although they have a grown daughter together and have stayed good friends. It just doesn't seem appropriate. Am I wrong?
You are completely entitled to your opinion, and it's true that in most cases such an arrangement wouldn't be possible. But as long as your sister is okay with it, it's completely fine. If she's not okay with it, that's a different story -- it's her wedding, and she has a right to feel comfortable! If she's upset about it, encourage her to confront her husband-to-be with her feelings. He needs to know about them -- before they head down the aisle.

Women need a safe space in which to heal, explore, examine and learn about their sexuality. In this sex-positive space, women will be able to do the deep work on their sexual selves that can empower and affect every aspect of their being.This apprenticeship will be a combination of deep work on the sexual self through discussion, coaching and self-exploration; examination of our sexual history and patterns; and education about sexuality and the sexual body. It will involve homework in between weekends, allow participants to develop sexual/relational skills through guided exercises, push boundaries, and ask that people bring their whole selves to the process. It is a rare opportunity to dive deeply into the study and development of our own sexual selves. Women of all sexual orientations and backgrounds are welcome.

Thought-leaders of Green Aviation Logistics Group join for first Green Transportation and Logistics Summit in Dubai
The two-day summit due to be held on Feb. 23 and 24, 2011, at the Aviation Club in Dubai.
September 14, 2010 2:37 by Rasha Reslan
Dubai, 14 September 2010: The Green Aviation Logistics Group ME, in association with the Foreign Investment Office, an agency of the Dubai Department of Economic Development (DED), will host the first Green Transportation and Logistics Summit (GTLS) aimed at providing a platform for thought-leaders in the Green Logistics Supply Chain to meet and brainstorm.
The two-day summit due to be held on Feb. 23 and 24, 2011, at the Aviation Club in Dubai is a first for the green logistics sector in the Middle East. It will provide transportation, logistics and supply chain professionals the opportunity to learn about the processes and technologies that can be implemented to measure and reduce carbon footprint, save energy, comply with environmental regulations, environmentally manage suppliers and partners and achieve a sustainable transport network.
"This event reinforces the importance of the logistics sector to drive economic development in Dubai. As one of the fastest growing sectors, it is imperative that green technologies are initiated and sustained for an environmentally sustainable logistics sector," said His Excellency Mr Sami Al Qamzi, Director General, DED.
"With an impressive list of speakers and panelists, the summit will provide thought-provoking presentations and discussions that will help logistics professionals to succeed in the ever-changing operating environment," he added.
"Logistics is a key driver for the Dubai and the Middle East economy, and it is important to incorporate green technologies to compete on a global scale. DED and the Foreign Investment Office are focused on further developing the logistics sector in Dubai, as highlighted by our support to the event. The environmental impact of supply chain logistics is integral to the growth of our industry," said David Harris, Logistics Sector Development Director, Foreign Investment Office.

I realy dislke this mascarra for the simple fact that it flakes on me like crazy,i realy wanted to like this but for £18.00 it is so not worth it,i end up with panda eyes within an hour and can honestly say that no mascarra has ever flaked on me,imo it is also VERY dry,i dont thnk that the name is very fitting either,pretty packagng though
Overall ratng 1 - as above
Price 1 - i dont mind spending more on a product f it actualy does what it is suposed to do.
Packaging 5 - i like the lid to this it kinda reminds me of the Taj Mahal lol
Would i buy this again,NNNnnnoooooooo!!
I was extremely skeptical when I bought this product... I have never, ever liked any MAC mascara products before but the sales person really sold me on it. I'm really happy I did buy it because it has been the best mascara I've ever used other than Diorshow (and the price really adds to it's charm). I have naturally long lashes and the product name does not lie... I have been asked numerous times if I was wearing fake eyelashes. The mascara separates, adds volume, lengthens and curls (so much so I don't have to even use a curler anymore). Price is completely reasonable and you get a lot out of it.
The one downside to this mascara is that I find the colour tends to soften a bit at the end of the day. I'm a girl who likes intensely black lashes, and this kind of bums me out, but I can settle since the overall product is amazing.
I would recommend it!
This mascara is okay, but it doesn't do anything spectacular. I like dramatic lashes, and this definitely doesn't do it. Doesn't lengthen, doesn't volumize. The only good thing about this mascara is that it doesn't clump or flake. I prefer my L'Oreal Double Extend mascara with lash boosting serum (the one in the blue tube).

I recently bought this mascara and I totally love it...it really separtes your eye lashes well and at the same-time gives a lot of volume. Please try it out....Price$21
More reviews by oceandreamer001
I love this! I have long lashes, but with this mascara they look like I have lash extensions. It doesn't flake or clump on me.
Loooove this stuff! I have fine lashes, and this mascara in extreme black makes them look long and plush. It doesn't clump and lasts all day without flaking. Gorgeous!
I've never been a fan of MAC mascaras for a number of reasons: didn't give me the look I was looking for, smudging, smearing, etc.
I decided to give False Lashes a try and I must say, I'm rather impressed. It gives me nice, long lashes with reasonable thickness. It does smudge on me a bit (my lids tend to be oily) but overall, pretty good wear. It's also cheaper than Lancome Definicils and Chanel which is a bonus.
Ive been using the mascara for a year now and i love it. I like that you can bend the wand easily to make it easier to apply. The only way i think it could be better is if it thickened my lashes a bit more.
This mascara is fantastic when it comes to fanning out lashes, wow, I've never had a mascara that separates my lashes so well and makes me look like I have full long lashes. The reason I wouldn't buy this again is because it doesn't thicken my lashes which I would like..I'm going to continue to use it but it is not my HG mascara, I am yet to find a mascara that beats YSL False lash effect.

At Cinco Soccer, coaches don't just help others play one of the most popular sports in the world: they also specialize in a unique style of play that's growing in popularity throughout Europe and South America. The all-weather athletic facility hosts two springy, rubber in-fill turf fields that are regulation-sized for five-a-side, a play scenario that pits teams of five against each other on a smaller field using a slightly smaller ball. Players can put these arenas to the test in Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday night-leagues for adults and reanimated stone gargoyles. Meanwhile, children's lessons held on a kid-sized five-a-side field instill universal soccer fundamentals from dribbling to shooting. The training facility also features a soccer-themed pub equipped with big-screen TVs and private rooms for children's birthday parties.
University of South Florida men's soccer head coach George Kiefer uses his vast experience in NCAA Division I Men's Soccer to help players with raw potential grow into the next crop of soccer superstars. As the director of George Kiefer's USF Soccer Camps, he oversees a staff of college coaches and current players from all around the country. During half-day camps held at the new USF Soccer Stadium and at satellite camps in Lithia and Clearwater, Fla., the roster of trainers builds an environment where each type of player can sharpen their technique and improve their confidence. The goal is to set the foundation early so that kids can free themselves up to be creative with the ball. On 11 Bermuda grass fields, players ages 4?18 practice dribbling, passing, and playing as team.
Professional soccer officially returned to Tampa Bay on May 8, when a crowd of more than 8,000 fans watched the Rowdies play their debut home game at Steinbrenner Field. Currently headed up by Scottish coach and retired professional footballer Paul Dalglish, the Rowdies are chest-trapping, banana-kicking, and head-butting their way back into the world of black-and-white-spotted balls. Watch them take on the Minnesota Stars, who are ably coached by Manny Logas and hungry to work their way up the 2010 standings. Sideline seats get frenetic fans close enough to observe the fantastic flairs of Division II soccer savants as they attempt to sneak the European pigskin between an opponent's legs and through the goal zone. Since it's a Thursday game, fans can also take advantage of Thirsty Thursdays, featuring $1 beers from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
Fútbol 5 provides soccer aficionados with three outdoor turf fields that host six-on-six games, as well as a multifunctional indoor space for soccer and volleyball. The small pitches host matches and soccer clinics, which teach male and female soccer players aged 6–13 how to properly dribble the ball, change speeds during ball possession, and perform specialty moves designed to best opposing players. Fútbol 5 entertains players before and after their games with a sports bar that has eight big-screen TVs. It also keeps kids and adults fit with Zumba and Zumbatomic classes, which blast calories with dance moves performed to Latin beats.
CSA Palm Harbor keeps its neighborhood moving. As the managing body of parks, recreation, and leisure services for the unincorporated community of Palm Harbor, the outfit takes charge by providing affordable, high-quality facilities and programs. CSA Palm Harbor manages three multi-sport complexes and a full-service community activity center. Outside those doors, though, their efforts ripple through the community. They include a municipal kayak launch, a waterside park, fitness workshops, 5K fun runs, and camps for kids who don't want to spend their summer memorizing yearbook messages.
Just as soccer is a global sport, Coach Joe Mata started Legacy Soccer Academy to reach as many different people as possible. Home-schooled and traditional-schooled children travel from class to the field and learn how to properly kick a soccer ball and how use their shin guards as a baseball bat in a pinch. Joe and the rest of the coaches steep each practice with lessons on respect, communication, and encouragement. They also offer small-group and personal-training sessions that focus on reaching each kid?s goal, from passing the ball to defending the net to ending the soccer vs. football name debate.

Famous Never-Married Couples
Famous Never-Married Couples
A recent report has found that the number of US adults who are married is at an all-time low of 51 percent, with more people marrying later in life, skipping "I do"s for economical reasons, or living together before marriage. And the married young adult decline is especially steep — 50 years ago, 60 percent of 18- to 29-year-olds were married, while today it's just 20 percent.
In Hollywood, we see engagements and weddings all the time, but there are some couples who have been together for upwards of 20-plus years with kids and everything and go by partner instead of husband and wife. See the never-married celeb couples now!

this a great post! these couples look happy together and committed to each other, maybe "til death do them apart" too. saying it in a ceremony does not say that it is more legit than saying it just to each other. i don't mind wedding ceremonies, but i do mind when people judge the marriages that were not traditionally married. that type of judgement sounds backward.
3 years
Why shouldn't it be celebrated? They love each other. That's what counts. "Shacking up" and "living in sin" are offensive to people who are committed to one another. Live and let live.
3 years
I don't think cohabitation and shacking up should be glamorized, and this is coming from a young girl.
3 years
I am very traditional and I believe that marriage is the ideal institution that any couple who wants to commit to each other ought to choose. However, I believe that a couple should only marry if they are actually going to stay true to their vows of "til death do us part." I think marrying and divorcing willy nilly waters down and extremely important part of human interaction.
I actually have a lot more respect for people like these couples who choose their own kind of commitment...

@colombiatraveleMore than 200,000 people are expected to attend the International Tourism Trade Fair in Spain (FITUR). Right there, participants will be able to discover how, where and through which operator they can work with to access magical experiences like the ones available in Colombia.
The strategy that was launched in April to promote Colombia as an international tourism destination has reached over a million people as a result of the undertakings that have sought to encourage the flow of foreign visitors to the country.
During 2013, around 87 countries in America, Asia and Europe had the opportunity to see the unique and amazing experiences that PROCOLOMBIA had created to win the hearts of international travelers.

GTD, Lotus Notes & the eProductivity Challenge: The Weekly Review (part 2)
January 15, 2015 by Nathan Paul
(Continuing from yesterday): Chris Blatnick, a professional business coach and long-time eProductivity user, shares why he loves eProductivity's Weekly Review Coach and how it helps him stay on track:
The Weekly Review Coach in eProductivity is basically an enhanced wizard, walking you through all of the steps necessary for a successful Weekly Review. It's an elegant approach because it allows you to focus on just one thing at a time. This is key, since maintaining this focus will drive you toward completion faster and allow you to be more thorough in your work. The coach kept me engaged, targeted and on track. I'll admit that in the past I got distracted chasing an idea or item down a rabbit hole. While this can still happen in any system, I felt more focused because I had the coach to guide me through the review in the correct order.After launching it, the Weekly Review Coach takes you to the first step in the process: Collect Loose Papers. For each step of the Weekly Review, the coach tells you what you should be doing and gives you suggestions to improve your game. You can see a sample shot from the Weekly Review Coach below.
Here are the steps of the Weekly Review covered in the Wizard:
- Collect Loose Items
- Process Papers
- Empty Capture Tools
- Process Email
- Empty Head
- Review Action Lists
- Review Previous Calendar
- Review Upcoming Calendar
- Review Tickler Files
- Review Waiting-for List
- Review Projects
- Review Goals & Objectives
- Review Areas of Focus
- Review Relevant Checklists
- Review Reference & Support
- Review Someday/Maybe List
As you can see, that's quite an exhaustive list of things to do, and it's no wonder that it can be daunting to consider performing a weekly review when you have all that staring at you. Of course, the scarier this process seems to you, the more you probably need to be doing it!
Once the Weekly Review becomes an ingrained habit, the process goes pretty smoothly. Even so, there's always the temptation to jump ahead and work on something more interesting. When I used the Weekly Review Coach, I found that this temptation wasn't there. Instead, it kept me completely on task, a characteristic of a great coach.
...it kept me completely on task, a characteristic of a great coach.
After the first step is complete, you check it off and the coach automatically takes you to the next step. I love the layout of this wizard, along with the graphic representation of what step we're on coupled with the help text. Of particular genius is the way the coach allows you to do all of your work in context. Thus, when it's time to review your action lists or empty your inbox, the appropriate view appears directly below the coaching instructions (see below). I've talked about the effectiveness of this technique in interface design before, so it makes me very happy to see this being implemented in other Notes-based applications. This idea helps the user stay in that focused, flow state, further improving the user's performance of the task at hand.
I did my first weekly review in eProductivity on Sunday night and I was amazed at how fast I went through the process. Granted, my system was nice and clean from just migrating all my actions and projects over, but I still credit the Weekly Review Coach with enabling this speedy completion. When you finish walking through every step (where you are even encouraged to work on the higher level stuff...goals, aspirations, etc.), you are presented with a nice summary report of when you started each step, when you ended and your elapsed time. This is a nice touch and will be a good reward and motivation for continuing to stay on top of the Weekly Review process.
You can find some additional information and screenshots of the Weekly Review Coach on the eProductivity site. I encourage you to take a look and consider this as yet another great reason to review eProductivity for your GTD implementation. If I had to use a single word to describe this software, it would probably be "frictionless". By that I mean that it so smoothly supports the GTD methodology, I don't really have to think about the mechanics of getting data into the system or getting the right information out of it. Instead, I can just do my work and be productive.
As it says on the eProductivity site, "Your Weekly Review just got easier". Yes...I'd say it did!
I don't know about you, but I'm very thankful to Chris for sharing his thoughts on eProductivity. Here's hoping it can help you succeed in the same way!

GTD, Lotus Notes & the eProductivity Challenge: The Weekly Review (part 1)
January 14, 2015 by Eric Mack
Speaking of the Weekly Review, here's a guest post from Chris Blatnick, a GTD fan and long-time eProductivity user who was blogging before it was cool. He draws on his experience as a business coach to discuss why the Weekly Review is so critical, as well as why he loves eProductivity's Weekly Review Coach:
Webster defines a coach as "one who instructs or trains."I'm a big fan of coaching. Whether talking about a presentation coach to help hone your skills on the stage, a performance coach to help you better your 5k time, or a life coach to get you to focus on your overall goals and objectives, coaching is a fantastic way to help you achieve your potential and then reach for loftier heights. In fact, I'm writing this post right now while waiting for my son to get out of his teen life coaching session. I occasionally work as a technology coach, helping people map out what they want to get out of using technology, then putting a plan together to meet that goal in the most efficient way possible. So right off the bat, I figured I would like the Weekly Review Coach functionality of eProductivity. I was wrong, though...I actually love it!
Ask any Getting Things Done fan, new to the system or grizzled veteran, what the biggest obstacle to complete mastery of the GTD concepts is, and they'll likely tell you it is the Weekly Review. The Weekly Review is the part of GTD that brings everything into focus, helping you to close open loops, determine what is needed to move your projects forward and keeps you on track toward your higher level life goals. David Allen calls the Weekly Review the "secret sauce," and in my experience that is very true. I've posted before about my GTD journey to this point, and the times when I was most on my game and feeling that I was living the vision that Mr. Allen maps out in his book was when I was diligently doing my Weekly Review.
But let's be honest...it takes some serious focus to plan out the time to sit down every week to look over what you need to be working on. In fact, in some ways, the Weekly Review exerts a certain force of opposition if you are afraid of what you'll uncover. You need to do this, however, to get full clarity of what you should and shouldn't be working on. Thus, the concept of having a "coach" for helping you get through this process is outstanding.
Tomorrow, I'll post the rest of Chris's thoughts on how well the Weekly Review Coach works.
How much is saving your time worth?
January 9, 2015 by Nathan Paul
In his own words, here's how he started getting things done in IBM Lotus Notes with eProductivity:
My company uses IBM Lotus Notes for email and calendaring. Lotus Notes v9 has evolved a lot compared to prior versions of Lotus Notes, however, it still provides what I would say are rudimentary To-Do list management and bare bones email processing. The volume of email hitting my inbox made it impossible to stay on top of my incoming email, which meant I was missing important To-Do's or actions that I needed to take on some emails because they were lost in the volume of emails where I was only cc'd and didn't need to take any specific action. I found myself constantly re-reading emails to remember what they were for, whether or not I had already actioned them or not. All-in-all, I was not very productive managing my incoming email.
The volume of email hitting my inbox made it impossible to stay on top...Now, my email inbox is emptied by the end of each day.
I knew I had to do something different to keep up with the ever growing number of emails passing through my inbox. I knew there had to be a better way and that surely someone had written software to address these pain points. This quest led me to find the excellent book "Getting Things Done" by David Allen. The GTD system made a lot of sense to me, but I struggled how to implement these GTD concepts using Lotus Notes.
After googling around a bit, I found the eProductivity for IBM Notes Mail product, which has forever changed how I manage my email. Today, my email inbox is emptied by the end of each day by utilizing the GTD system in eProductivity. I drag emails to the left to create actions for future To-Do's and drag items to the right that I want to keep for future reference. Finally, I delete any email which I don't need to perform any action and do not need to keep for future reference. Using the Today view, I get an overview of my meetings scheduled for the day and/or any actions that I have due that day.
One of the best features of eProductivity IMHO, is the "Waiting for" action. I send a lot of emails where I need someone else to respond or take some action on my behalf. Before eProductivity, I relied on my memory to remember what I had asked for and whether or not I had received a response within the expected time frame. With eProductivity, I click one button that says "Waiting for" when I send the email and a future action is automatically created as a reminder that I'm waiting for something to be responded to.
Getting all of these actions and To-Do's out of my head and into the eProductivity system has allowed me to manage my email my more productively. I hope one day that my company adopts eProductivity company wide, but until then, I'm happy to pay out of pocket for eProductivity because it saves me the most valuable resource of all, my time!
Thanks for sharing your story, JT!

The most critical habit for a smashing new year: the Weekly Review
January 7, 2015 by Eric Mack
You start the new year with energy, verve, and a resolve to Get Things Done! But how do you make sure those things keep moving forward week after week?
Here's the most critical habit to make sure you don't drop the ball: review your commitments regularly. Ideally, this would be done every week.
There are certain steps you can follow for a successful Weekly Review. These will help you empty all your sources of input, review your existing material to make sure it's current, and get inspiration from your goals and ideas.
David Allen's ideal steps for a successful Weekly Review are listed below:
>These will work with any system you're using (even pen and paper), but I've also specially built them into eProductivity's Weekly Review Coach.
A few definitions
If you haven't been introduced to the Getting Things Done method, a few quick definitions may be in order:
Capture Tools: Any place where stuff collects, such as your inbox, email, and voicemail.
Tickler: Files for stuff you want to be reminded of at a later date. For example, you could have a tickler item labeled "Decide whether to attend the 2016 Olympics," with a due date of four months before the event.
Waiting-for: Just what it sounds like -- anything that you're waiting for from someone else.
Someday/Maybe: A list of things you want to do and could do, but can't, shouldn't, or won't do now.
Why the Weekly Review is so powerful
Following the checklist above will help you
- Empty all the stuff that you've collected
- Decide what you need to do about all that stuff (if anything)
- Review everything in your world at least briefly so nothing falls through the cracks
- Get inspired by your creative ideas
Personally, my favorite part of the Weekly Review is going through stuff I haven't thought about in a while, and it hits me -- "I could do this fun, exciting, creative thing!" I can't always do that thing right away -- often, it has to go on my someday/maybe list -- but it's energizing just to have those ideas!

Bring me that horizon: get clear on your roles and where you're heading for each of them
January 2, 2015 by Eric Mack
Here's how I took some of my own advice from one of last week's posts on wrapping up the year.
I started reviewing my own Horizons of Focus, and from there working down to my own goals and projects for the year. This got more and more tangled and complex, until I finally realized that I needed some kind of filter. One set of goals and objectives for my whole life wasn't enough: I had to split everything in my world (and my Horizons of Focus) into different roles.
Each role would have its own complete set of Horizons of Focus: mission, vision, values, purpose, goals, objectives, areas of focus, projects, and actions.
After thinking about it, I realized that in my life I fill the following roles:
Once I was clear on my roles, I started to define my Horizons of Focus for each of them, using a table like this:
>I experienced great clarity by starting at the top in this way -- having these broad categories made it much easier to sort everything in my world.
Later, though, I realized that "Professional" could (and should) really be broken down further into five smaller roles:
Platform Builder
This has made it much easier to organize projects, actions, and information related to my work.
I've struggled over the years to define my roles while keeping them manageable. One year, doing this same exercise, I wound up with 35 different roles -- and trying to live by them over the following months nearly drove me insane.
Another year, I decided to keep things super-simple and just stick with Work, Family, and Personal -- but this turned out to be too simplistic, and I often got stuck on where to file things.
This year, however, I think I've finally come up with a good number of roles: small enough to be manageable, but large enough to encompass everything I do.
I thought it was very helpful to map these out in my eProductivity Horizons of Focus documents; then, once I'm done defining each role, I'll work down to my projects and actions for each one, which will be recorded in eProductivity.
If you start with your Horizons of Focus, you'll probably find it much easier to brainstorm everything in your world that needs your attention. Plus, if you want to record Projects and Actions straight from eProductivity Reference, you can turn on the option to include the New Action and New Project buttons in the Reference database.
>I hope you can get clarity on your roles this New Year so you can do what you need to get done!
My 4th step to close out the year: Get a high-altitude view of your life
December 30, 2014 by Eric Mack
Getting perspective
Not just any perspective -- I mean seeing your life at every level, so you can know just what you're doing and why.
In his bestselling book, Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity, my friend and collaborator David Allen describes six levels of perspective, which he calls the "Horizons of Focus:"
>Think about these, write them down, and put them in a place where you'll review them regularly. They may change over time, but they'll help keep you on track.
Most people tend to get stuck on the difference between the Horizons of Focus and Areas of Focus, so I'd like to explain this level a bit more.
A word about Areas of Focus
Here are some examples of this particular level:
- Your relationship with your spouse
- Your kids
- Volunteering
- Your hobby
- Designing new sales campaigns
- Special projects for your boss
- Keeping certifications up-to-date
- Continuing education
Areas of Focus are essentially the major categories for your projects. Reviewing these regularly, along with the other horizons, will help you make sure that each one is moving forward.
How to set up your Horizons of Focus
You can do this in Word, Evernote, your IBM Lotus Notes Notebook, or even with a pen and paper. All it really takes is some thought and a capture tool to help you organize your thinking.
Think about your ultimate purpose in life. How can you move towards that in the coming year? What projects can you take on to advance your aims?
If you're using eProductivity, the Horizons of Focus tools are already built right in -- plus, eProductivity's Weekly Review Coach makes it easy to easily review your horizons regularly.
To set these up in eProductivity, here's what you'll need:
- eProductivity Reference -- click here for more info
- Click here for how to set up the horizons in eProductivity Reference
Want to learn more about planning your horizons?
For more detailed descriptions of the horizons, see this article.
I first learned the Horizons of Focus from my friend and collaborator, David Allen, author of the bestselling Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity. and creator of the GTD methodology. David was personally involved in the testing of eProductivity, an add-on for IBM Lotus Notes that I designed to help people get more done with less stress.
This is the end of my four steps to close out the year. I hope they've made you more confident that you're prepared for 2015. These tips have been based on my experience with GTD over the years, and I look forward to sharing more of what I've learned in the future.
Happy New Year!

ATD Announces Commercial Trucks Of The Year
The trucks were selected from a field of five medium-duty trucks and four heavy-duty trucks. A five-member panel of journalists evaluated the trucks at ADESA Las Vegas last October. The judging categories included innovation, design, safety and driver satisfaction.
"Every year the challenge is greater and greater," said judge Paul Hartley, writer and owner of AddMedia. "The manufacturers bring the best in the game."
Other trucks nominated for the medium-duty truck award were the Ford F-650, Isuzu Reach Commercial Van and the Peterbilt Model 337 Extended Day Cab. Heavy-duty truck nominees included Cascadia Evolution equipped with Detroit D12 transmission, Peterbilt Model 579 and Western Star 4700SF.
The NADA and ATD conventions run Feb. 8-11 at the Orange County Convention Center. For up-to-minute news coverage, visit www.NADAFrontPage.com.
About ATD ATD represents about 2,000 medium- and heavy-duty truck dealers. ATD members share in NADA's programs, services and benefits. ATD hosts an annual convention for dealers and dealership managers. For more information, visit www.atd.org. The NADA Story The NADA story began in 1917 when 30 auto dealers traveled to the nation's capital to convince Congress not to impose a luxury tax on the automobile. They successfully argued that the automobile is a necessity of American life, not a luxury. From that experience was born the National Automobile Dealers Association. Today, NADA represents nearly 16,000 new-car and -truck dealers, with 32,500 franchises, both domestic and international. For more information, visit www.nada.org.

Broad Support for Political Compromise in Washington
A large majority of the American public thinks the country is more politically polarized than in the past, and an even greater number expresses a strong desire for political compromise. Fully three-quarters say they like political leaders who are willing to compromise, compared with 21% who see this as a negative trait.
Parsing the '06 Latino Vote
Widely cited findings from the national exit polls suggest Latinos tilted heavily Democratic in the 2006 election, taking back most of the support they had granted the Republicans just two years earlier. Does that mean the Latinos who flirted with the Republican Party are now firmly back in the Democratic camp?
America's Optimists: More Republican, But Fewer of Them
Since 2000, people have become far more pessimistic and partisan in their views about the country's future — and their own.
Public Cheers Democratic Victory
The Democrats' big win on Nov. 7 has gotten a highly favorable response from the public. In fact, initial reactions to the Democratic victory are as positive as they were to the GOP's electoral sweep of Congress a dozen years ago.
Democrats Made Gains in All Regions of the Country
With roughly 95% of the votes tallied so far in House races across the country, the overall partisan breakdown is 52% for Democratic candidates, 46% for Republican candidates and 2% for others. In actual votes, Democratic House candidates in 2006 have already tallied nearly 5 million more votes than they did in 2002, while the Republican tally is down more than 3 million from four years ago.
The Real Message of the Midterms
A sweeping election tends to invite sweeping conclusions — and the Democrats' takeover of both houses of Congress this November provides a tempting array of opportunities for exaggeration or misinterpretation. With that in mind, let's look at the major lessons to be gleaned from the exit polls and opinion polls about how America voted this November.
Democrats and Republicans See Different Realities
The vast divide between voters who intend to vote Democratic and Republican on November 7 extends well beyond matters of opinion. These voters also see the world quite differently.
Republicans Cut Democratic Lead in Campaign's Final Days
A nationwide Pew survey finds that the midterm election campaign has tightened considerably in the campaign's final week. Among likely voters, 47% say they plan to vote for a Democratic congressional candidate on Tuesday and 43% say they plan to vote for a Republican.
Voter Turnout and Congressional Change
In recent decades, there have been three basic ways that turnout has worked to produce the sort of "big wave" midterm that the Democrats are hoping for next week.
Can Safe Seats Save the Republicans?
One of the biggest political questions in the final weeks of this Congressional campaign is whether the national trend in support for Democratic candidates is big enough to overcome the safe-seat redistricting that in recent years has led to fewer and fewer seats turning over in Congress.

March 5, 2009 -- WE ADDED MEDALS OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Altrio just can't get a break. On his first day of work at the Brew-Co Brewery, Alkie Kong shows up to cause trouble.
Oh that Alkie Kong, what won't he do?
This platformer game should get your brains going since you have to solve puzzles to progress, with plenty of boss fights to keep you on your toes.
The art style is based on some comics ShitOnAStick did way back yonder... AND I JUST WENT AND STOLE IT MWAAAAAAAA HAHAHAHA
Hard as fuck but entertaining at least.
No seriously Medals aren't even worth my time but the game itself on the other hand was decent to play. Hence the title is based on Donkey Kong it does feel like Donkey Kong 94 or Mario Vs.Donkey Kong with more platforming and what not. But compared to the first this is slightly better.
Plus the game is like 4 years old give it a rest.
So yeah not too bad!
Damm you
I can't stop playing this. Fun, can be difficult at spots. Great re-play value.
I remember playing this game back when it is a fun game almost seems like you have added some new medals, but anyways seems like the game is still as popular as ever, i even gave it another try im not to good into this as i was back then, but its still as fun as ever, the game could be improved but i believe you have it down for the most part, the game has some decent {GRAPHICS} and some decent gameplay action aswell, its fun right from the start just a tad hard for me but i still had fun so nice job on this one, if anything could be suggested on this fantastic game, I would probably suggest some {FLASHY-EFFECTS} that really come from the backround and move forward so that its like a blasting effect, just a little tip anyways.but regardless of all that, its still a fantastic game. keep up the great game making.
Some extra effects but something that really dazzles the audience explained more above.
Fun game still fantastic.
