NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Kansas City might have one of the most valuable players in baseball in Mike Moustakas.
First, Moustakas plays third base, a position several teams (including the Cubs and White Sox) are looking to stabilize during the winter meetings.
Second, Moustakas bats left-handed, and the Sox could use a left-handed hitter especially if A.J. Pierzynski signs with another team.
Third, Moustakas is only 24 and is two years away from becoming arbitration eligible.
Finally, Moustakas has plenty of promise, as evidenced by his first-round distiction in 2007 and the fact he hit 20 home runs in his first full major league season with the Royals in 2012.
Given that the free-agent market for third basemen is deemed shallow, the Sox might need to get extremely creative in their quest to find a third baseman or fill the position with platoon system should Kevin Youkilis sign with another team.
If the Sox pursue a third baseman who bats left-handed (Eric Chavez, Jack Hannahan), it probably would be as part of a platoon setup.
The other scenario is intriguing because of the moving parts that would accompany such a move.
The Sox have yet to completely rule out moving second baseman Gordon Beckham or Dayan Viciedo to third base.
Beckham's best season occurred in his rookie season in 2009 when he batted .270 with 14 home runs and 63 RBIs. He played adequately at third despite being a shortstop until one week before his promotion to the majors.
Such a move could mean that Carlos Sanchez, the Sox's top infield prospect, would get a shot at starting at second. Sanchez, 20, could use more seasoning in the minors but has impressed at every level.
Dayan Viciedo began his career as a third baseman, and the Sox could move his from left field. But there is some danger in such a switch because it would mark the four position shift for Viciedo, 23, who was learning on the fly as a left fielder last season.
The Sox also would have to find a left fielder, and Dewayne Wise, Jordan Danks and Blake Tekotte are each left-handed hitters not known for their power and aren't perceived as full-time players.

I'm a woman with no self-restraint. I have been shivering with anticipation over the new Chanel Illusion D'Ombres since news of them came out. When the make-up bloggette mentioned that they were out in Singapore, I knew I had to go down town to have a look at them for myself.
I already have some Giorgio Armani Eyes To Kill coming my way so I didn't want to get things that would look similar. At least that was the plan. The plan was to get Emerville and perhaps a darker shadow. That's all.
Oops! As you can see, I got a little crazy. I blame it on the store lights, they made the swatches shimmer and shine. I think perhaps I was blinded by the lights and my brain did a shut down and went on auto buy mode.
As you can see, I went home with 4 pots instead of 2. Now for a little self-redemption. Tangs Orchard is having a three day beauty promotion. Every $100 you spend gets you a $10 beauty hall voucher. Illusion D'Ombres go for SGD$52. I scored myself $20 in vouchers which I promptly spent all on Guerlain Rouge Aromatique lipsticks. He! He! Rouge Aromatique lipsticks go for SGD$50.
My spirits were somewhat dampened at the Guerlain counter. The SA was determined to show my other lipsticks other that the Rouge Aromatiques until I specifically told her I wanted to try the RAs. It spoils my lipstick shopping expedition when I don't see names, instead I see numbers on lipsticks. It confuses the bimbo in me. Anyway, I wanted Champ Elysees 165 but it was out of stock. I still want Champ Elysees, it will be mine eventually, Mwah haha!
I will leave you with these pictures to tease you. I'm feeling "evil" today. Swatches and detailed pictures in the near future.

Dirs: Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman. US. 2012. 88mins
The latest Paranormal Activity sequel is the franchise's fourth film in the last four years — and, unfortunately, it's also the first to be unable to find significantly inventive new ways to freshen up its formula. Despite a few alterations to the well-worn found-footage format, there's a visible sense of strain as the filmmakers struggle to top themselves, resulting in a horror movie whose best shocks carry echoes from previous instalments.
The movie does get some mileage out of the creepiness of utilising infrared cameras and Skype video chats to document the paranormal terrors.
Opening October 19, Paranormal Activity 4 will hope to replicate the first three films' grosses. (Worldwide, those movies brought in a combined $577m, with an almost equal split between domestic and overseas returns.) First weekend sales ought to be robust, but the betting is that word-of-mouth may not be as strong for 4 as it was for 3, which grossed $206m globally and reignited the brand. Still, considering how cheaply these films are made, 4 would have to fail spectacularly for Paramount not to pull the trigger on a 5 to be released this time next year.
Set five years after the events of the first two movies, Paranormal Activity 4 focuses on a Nevada family that includes pretty teen daughter Alex (Kathryn Newton) and her sweet-tempered adopted kid brother Wyatt (Aiden Lovekamp). But when Robbie (Brady Allen), a neighbour boy about the same age as Wyatt, has to move in after his single mother is rushed to the hospital, Alex begins to wonder if Robbie has brought with him some sort of invisible evil presence into their home.
By this point, even those who have never seen a Paranormal Activity movie are probably familiar with the construction of a typical instalment. Constructed from recovered footage that was shot by the victims before their untimely demise, each film slowly builds in tension by hinting at the unseen terrors hovering around the main characters before eventually the menacing spirit (which has possessed one of the characters) destroys its prey.
But whereas Paranormal Activity 2 featured a better script and stronger acting than the original — and 3 cleverly served as a prequel that further fleshed out the franchise's overarching storyline — 4 essential sticks to past strengths to deliver its shocks. Bringing back the directors (Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman) and screenwriter (Christopher Landon) from 3, Paranormal Activity 4 benefits from several underappreciated selling points of this series — namely, strong, naturalistic performances and a disarming sense of humour amidst the shrieks — but doesn't add much new in the process.
Not that the filmmakers don't try to shake things up a little. The movie does get some mileage out of the creepiness of utilising infrared cameras and Skype video chats to document the paranormal terrors. And this is the first sequel in which the franchise's central sisters aren't the main characters, although Katie (Katie Featherston) does end up playing an important role in the proceedings. Ultimately, however, these minor tweaks to the brand don't make up for a story in which we can feel fairly confident predicting precisely how everything will play out. (Even 4's cheeky allusion to The Shining suggests a movie more indebted to the past than one trying to break new ground.)
Still, the film manages to conjure up a few nice sequences of prolonged tension, in part because the franchise's steadfast refusal to indulge in gross-out gore always leaves open the possibility that this sequel may be the first one to break with tradition. (Indeed, a scene where a knife goes missing creates palpable dread for every subsequent scene in the same room.)
Lovekamp and Allen do a good job as the movie's central children, with Lovekamp a convincingly angel-faced tyke and Allen an upsettingly dour boy. And Newton and (as her dorky boyfriend) Matt Shively play believable teens full of hormones and sarcastic attitudes. But for loyal audiences who have made the Paranormal Activity films their Halloween movie destination for the last several years, they may feel like they've seen all this before — and with a lot more zest.

Career Pilot Training Guide
Learning to fly is a challenge! Do you have what it takes? Do you have the time? The money? Will you be successful? Will your family fly with you? Are there jobs out there for professsional pilots? In this section, we try to answer as many questions as possible about researching, contacting, and finally deciding on the flight training that's right for.
Career Flight Training - If you want to fly for a living, you'll need to go to a school that offers private pilot, commercial pilot, and instrument rating training, because all three of these licenses/ratings are required (by most companies) to get a job as a pilot. You can count on the whole process taking six months to a year or more to complete. For this reason, most aspiring professional pilots attend a flight training academy that specializes in teaching career pilots. There are several distinct advantages to attending a flight academy: shorter training programs (through accelerated training), airline-style training environment, lower costs, and the chance to build flight hours as a certified flight instructor upon graduation. Academies can dramatically reduce the time taken to earn your licenses and ratings because they have more resources available to get you through training, including larger fleets, more flight instructors, more advance flight simulators, and the use of a proven accelerated training program. The airline-style environment can be a bonus too, because you'll learn how to fly like a professional from day one, utilizing crew resource management (CRM), flight dispatch, and company procedures. On the surface, professional flight training schools may appear to be more expensive (and in some cases are) but here's how they can actually save you money, and in some cases, make you money. Generally speaking, the sooner you get hired in your first pilot job, the better, because the majority of pilots are paid based on seniority, or hire date. Flight academies typically offer the fastest way to earn all the licenses and ratings you need then build flight hours to gain experience. Graduates of flight academies are often hired on by the school to teach the next generation of pilots attending the school. Although pay is generally pretty low, most graduates are only there to build up the number of flight hours they need to apply, and get, their next job as a pilot. By building the requisite number of hours quickly, aspiring professional pilots get into their next job faster, and build up seniorty sooner, which can translate into higher pay and better position in the company down the road. However, when researching these flight training schools, be on the lookout: don't pay for large amounts of flight time in advance. If a school requires you to pay them in advance, think very carefully before you make the purchase. Contact the school and find out if you can talk to some of the recent graduates, or even current students. Chances are, you'll get a really good idea about what to expect in terms of housing, facilities, fleet, CFIs, and more.

The Putin Olympics
Grotesque corruption, gay bashing, a jihad next door and, by the way, no snow. What was Russia's strongman thinking?
Who would hold the Winter Olympics in a summer resort? Vladimir Putin is who. In the triumph of what can only be called a preposterous idea, three short weeks from now the Russian president will draw the world's attention to a grand legacy project of his own fantastic design. Nearly seven years ago, Putin personally pitched the International Olympic Committee to choose Sochi for these winter games. Sochi? Picture the Jersey Shore in the 1950s—plus palm trees and minus, until recently, the widespread luxury of indoor plumbing in the huts that locals rent to beachgoers. The place sits on the same latitude as the French Riviera, and until Putin fell in love with it, was best known for the packs of Soviets who used to sun themselves on the rocky shore of the Black Sea.
Sochi today is Putin's personal pride, a project of such colossal authoritarian branding that it's hard to think of a more recent example of a political leader so closely involved in such a grandiose building spree. For these past seven feverish years, the city has been Europe's largest construction site—only recently declared by the Kremlin ready to host the Games that start on Feb. 7. Putin himself is in Sochi now, where he is personally reviewing final preparations, granting interviews and generally taking a tsar-like approach to inspecting what his billions have bought. And billions it has been: The overall price tag for the Games has now reached somewhere between $50 billion and $55 billion, a figure that makes this not only the most expensive Olympics in history, but also pricier than all previous Winter Olympiads put together.
Story Continued Below
Putin's Olympics are first and foremost political, a chance to project the image of the new, confident and rich Russia, one "risen off its knees" by the neo-authoritarian administration of the last 14 years. Alexei Makarkin, a leading Russian political sociologist, called the Olympiad the "most prestigious undertaking of Russia's present regime."
No effort has been too strenuous, no weather too warm, no terrorist threat too immediate and, of course, no amount of state treasure too large to ensure success. Whether Putin has planned it or not, the Sochi Olympiad looks as if it has the perfect timing to be the crescendo of a string of international successes he has enjoyed over the past year, when he managed both to prevent a U.S. military intervention in Syria and to steal the title of "world's most powerful man" (at least, the Forbes magazine version) from Barack Obama. (Asked whether it was his personal reputation at stake in the Games, Putin told ABC News's George Stephanopoulos, "No, no. I want it to be the nation's success… not my personal ambition.")
And yet Putin's expectations for a triumph may run into a stone wall of reality. Many are bracing for a disruption, even disaster. The Sochi games will be the first Winter Olympiad held in the subtropics and not unrelatedly, the gap between what has been needed by way of infrastructure and what was already available had never been as deep and wide. It is also beset with protest; it's the first Olympics to be held in an area of mass expulsion of an indigenous people, whose descendants accuse Russia of genocide. Perhaps most hazardously of all, it is the first (and almost certainly the last) Olympiad to be held within a few hundred miles of a low-intensity but deadly jihad. Indeed, this is without a doubt the most precarious Olympiad ever attempted, for reasons of geography, climate and infrastructure—but also for the way the regime has chosen to address these challenges. Will Putin's triumphalist narrative prevail? Maybe.
In putting his Winter Olympiad near a beach resort, Putin seems to be possessed of what might be called the Peter the Great complex: emulating the tsar who built his capital, from scratch, on a swamp.
His affection for the area is connected perhaps less to the beach than to the nearby ski resort in the craggy Caucasus Mountains, Krasnaya Polyana, which is his favorite. And in the effort to situate the Games there, the avid skier has loomed large from the very start. In July 2007, Putin flew to Guatemala to lobby the IOC, which he addressed first in English, a language he almost never speaks in public. He told the IOC members about the ancient Greeks who once lived around Sochi and how, when skiing in the area, he could see the rock, to which, according to an ancient Greek legend, the gods chained Prometheus as punishment for giving men fire. What better place to connect the Promethean flame with the Olympic torch than Sochi? To impress the judges with a final flourish, Putin ended his presentation in French, which no one knew he spoke. The committee's vote went for Sochi 51 to 47 over the South Korean city of Pyeongchang. On hearing the news, a large Russian delegation erupted in ovation and began to throw snow in the air. Putin sat, beaming, in the front row.
Ever since, Putin's hand has never left the rudder. He put one of his closest and most trusted aides, Dmitry Kozak, in charge of Olympic preparations, creating a deputy prime minister position specifically for the purpose. Kozak, considered a skillful manager, had been previously dispatched by Putin to be a kind of super-governor in Russia's most violent Southern federal district where the Islamic insurgency that now threatens the Games began after the "pacification" of Chechnya in the early 2000s. In another early appointment, Putin picked the head of the FSB's counterintelligence department, General Oleg Syromolotov, to lead security efforts. In the KGB, which Putin joined in his early 20s, and in its successor agency, the FSB, which Putin once headed, counterintelligence officers have long been considered the elite—the most competent, most loyal and least corrupt. Then, when the first head of Olympstroy, the government agency working under Kozak to produce the Games, reportedly cited huge cost overruns only 14 months into his tenure, he was fired. Putin then personally hired and terminated two successors.

Next up: ACA worst-case scenario?
Enrollment surge or no enrollment surge, the next Obamacare challenge is a big one: How will the White House make sure all those people with canceled policies get new coverage by Jan. 1?
At the rate the signups are going — even with the speedier, newly functioning Obamacare website — the administration has a vast distance to travel before the estimated 4 to 5 million people with canceled policies get new health coverage.
Story Continued Below
In fact, health care experts say, it's not out of the question that the Obama administration could face the worst-case scenario on Jan. 1: the number of uninsured Americans actually goes up.
( Also on POLITICO: White House aims to build on HealthCare.gov's numbers)
That's a long shot, and there are plenty of reasons why it might not happen, since there are other ways those people could replace their health coverage, like signing up directly with insurers . Not all of the policies will expire in December. And even if the ranks of the uninsured did increase, it could be such a brief event that no one would ever be able to confirm it.
But even with all the variables, one thing is for certain: the Obama administration has one seriously long road to travel from the signups it has now to the number who will likely need to replace their coverage. That's a bad place to be, given that the point of the law was to cover more people, not fewer people.
"It's hard to know [the outcome], but it's hard to see how it's not a heavy lift given the numbers," said Gail Wilensky, who ran the Medicare agency under the first President George Bush.
( Driving the Day in 90 seconds: Democrats excited about health care again)
Ron Pollack of Families USA believes the "overwhelming majority" of people with canceled policies will be able to replace it. But even Pollack, one of the law's most vocal supporters, concedes: "That does not mean 100 percent, because you never get 100 percent."
Administration officials say they're not concerned. The new, improved website can handle 800,000 visitors a day, they say, which allows plenty of capacity to help all of the people who need to replace their coverage — if they use the federal website. And some, though not all, will be able to extend their current health insurance now that the administration is allowing insurers to offer that option.
"Anyone who selects a plan by Dec 23 and pays by the date set by the insurer will have coverage by Jan. 1. The site can now handle at least 800,000 visitors a day and is stable," said Joanne Peters, a spokeswoman for the Department of Health and Human Services.
( WATCH: Health care: What Obama said, why it mattered)
"We are seeing consumers apply and enroll in coverage, and expect enrollment to increase given all of the technical improvements we have made to the site. Additionally, [the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services] is reaching out to consumers who may be having difficulty to help them with next steps," Peters said.
The most likely outcome is that some people will get coverage through the health insurance exchanges, some will get it directly through their old insurers, and some will get extensions on their old health insurance. All of the dominoes would have to fall the wrong way for the number of uninsured people to go up.
But if there's one thing the health care rollout has specialized in so far, it's dominoes falling the wrong way. That's why health care experts can't rule it out. And even a small number of people who can't replace their coverage — and end up uninsured on Jan. 1 — would send Obamacare right back into P.R. hell.
( See POLITICO's full Obamacare coverage)
The math, roughly, works like this. During the slow, balky month of October, 106,000 people selected health coverage through the federal HealthCare.gov enrollment site and the state websites, according to administration estimates. Another 400,000 were determined to be eligible for Medicaid. Add to that the 100,000 or so who signed up through HealthCare.gov alone in November, according to Bloomberg — assuming that number is at least in the ballpark — and the surges in state enrollment that are still being tallied.
And the enrollment does seem to be taking off on HealthCare.gov since the relaunch this weekend, as POLITICO reported that 29,000 people signed up on Sunday and Monday alone.
But by the best insurance industry estimates, as many as 4 million to 5 million people have gotten cancellation notices because their individual health insurance doesn't meet Obamacare standards — meaning they'll have to replace their health coverage. Even if the new, post-repair rate of signups continued at the faster pace, HealthCare.gov — the enrollment site that covers 36 states — would still be lucky to enroll 450,000 people by the end of December.
That pace certainly could speed up, and could even take off rapidly. It's still early December, after all, the site has just been relaunched, and a lot of people who have just been browsing health plans may wait until later in the month to sign up. And not everyone who needs Obamacare coverage will use the federal website — some will use the state websites that are being run by 14 states and the District of Columbia.

I love the Bras Basah neighborhood. It's in the heart of the city, easily accessible by public transport, and has a mish-mash of shops, schools, and demographics. It had been a sleepy place, but the past couple of years has brought more people walking around. (Of course our Standing Sushi Bar at 8 Queen Street has been a big part of this neighborhood, since 2010).
The National Design Centre opened a couple years ago, and Kapok Singapore took over a large retail and cafe space on the ground floor. The folks that work there are super-friendly and it's a great spot for a coffee and chat.
They used to serve food but it stopped so their kitchen has been unused, which is a shame since it's such a nice space.
So! We've decided to do a pop-up there until September 6. It's a joint effort between our project, Shinkansen, and our friends' Paper Crane.
We've got our Omega 3 Donburi on the menu as well as a rotating list of other specials such as a pulled pork don, falafel salad, and southern fried chicken.
Open for lunch and dinner from now until September 6!
Kapok Singapore is at the National Design Centre.

YOU are your Brand – Promote Yourself with Mobile Tags!
Your brand is your credibility! No matter what your business, no matter how big or small, YOU ARE YOUR BRAND! Using mobile tags to promote yourself is easy – you just need to know how. Think about this – what are you handing out now? Business Cards? Brochures? Flyers? Does your company provide them for you? Do you have a lot of them in your personal inventory? Maybe you think it is too late to get your own mobile tag on them? Not So! You need to be sure that everything you hand out has your mobile tag on it. Yes, EVERYTHING! Make your one-dimensional print come to life with your own mobile tag. You can create mobile tags that are printed and sent to you within 24 hours at http://www.itagit.com. Think it's too complicated? Watch this simple how-to video:
Then get busy. Get your tags, and put them on everything. Your tag can tie to a video on your site, your site itself, a vCard, and even a direct dialer, getting your customers and prospects to come to you!
When you use mobile tags, you increase your credibility dramatically. For one, you are showing that you are cutting edge – marketing and sharing your message in a new and impressive way. You educate your prospects on the use of their smartphone. And, you are increasing your web and video traffic. You have created the way for your customers to come to you right now. Not relying on them to go to your website later when they get back to their computer. And, you are increasing the number of hits to your video or site too. And getting your contact information directly into your user's phone. There are so many ways your are increasing your presence – both on the web, and in your customer or prospects mind.
Don't just do one type of tag. Make many tags. Each has a purpose. Whether you have multiple videos, different pages on your site, perhaps one for product, one for contacts, one for video – you can create multiple tags for use in everything you give out!
Maximize your exposure through the use of mobile tags.

Why Customize Your Tag?
Your product is unique. Your service is unique. Your company is unique. YOU are unique. Why not make your tags unique?!
Perhaps you are not aware, but you can create a custom 2D barcode tag. And by custom, I don't just mean you can have it go to your website, your vCard, your dialer information, and your YouTube Video. Yes, you can customize the information your tag directs the viewer to. But just as powerful is your ability to customize the look of your tag. Use your logo. Your product image. Your photo. Any image can be placed in your customized tag. And it is fast and easy too!
We saw the value of this long ago – before most people, at least in the western world, even knew what tags are. Using mobile tagging is becoming mainstream throughout the world. With the use of custom tags, we have taken the content of a 64-page print magazine and turned it into 24, and even 16 pages. And made all forms of media come to life. No longer is there just flat content on a page, a poster, or a billboard. Now readers, using only their smartphone or pad, can bring print to life. And get access to more information than they would ever read!
Just think about it. The average commercial on TV is 30 – 90 seconds. And packed into those 30 – 90 seconds are images, flash, audio and messaging that it would take 10 pages of print to cover. In today's world of hurry up, fast paced, short attention span environment, you are much more likely to catch the attention of a buyer with 30 – 90 seconds of information than a long article or a business ad in the middle of a magazine or newspaper. Using tags gives you the best of both. You can capture their attention with a very simple and direct print medium, coupled with a tag they can scan and view your video, website or other digital media. And you can have them coming directly back to you!
Try it out. See how easy it is to create your tag. Simply have the digital image you want to use, and get online, join, upload the image, and create your tag. I'm no technical wizard, but I am able to do it in under 5 minutes. And then I had my customized sheets of 64 tags each in the mail to me within 24 hours. I didn't have to figure out how to place them on sticker paper, align everything, copy the image, cut them, try to peel them off and spend a ton of money on the specialty paper. Very fast, easy, efficient and cost effective! Go to www.itagit.com and get yours today.

Use Mobile Tags On Samples – Customers Call You!
So you are in sales. And you have an amazing product. And you give out samples with your business card or brochure everywhere you go. What happens next? You don't have a way to call your prospects, do they have an effective way to call you? We suggest not! When you hand out samples with your card or brochure, the likelihood of those two items staying together is minimal. They toss it into the back seat, turn a few corners, and soon that sample is on the floor and the business card is between the crack of their seat. Or, they put it in their bag with the one-hundred other things, and they land between their own business cards and a copy of Fitness Magazine. When they finally clean out the car or the bag, the find the sample and try it, and like it! But now how do they remember who gave it to them, and how to get more? You are relying on their memory of 10 days, 3 weeks or months ago! Not going to happen, right? Well, here's how to fix it!
Simply make sure that your tag is on your samples! Create a tag with your vCard, a digital dialer or even a link directly to your website where they can order your amazing product. Put that little sticker with your tag on your sample, and your prospect will never be separated from you! They simply scan your tag, and let's embrace it, nearly everyone knows about tagging these days, and even those who don't know about it yet have smartphones with the capability to tag. Within seconds of trying your product, they can be calling you or be on your website placing their order.
Mobile tagging can bring your customers back to you. And it creates additional credibility for you and your brand. When you give away your samples, use it as a chance to show them something new – cutting edge – show them how to use the tag! Downlaod the app to their phone right then. It's another great way to get your product into their memory bank. And they are much more likely to remember you – that cutting edge marketer who taught them about mobile tagging.
Be sure to create and order your tag sticker sheet at www.itagit.com – place them everywhere! Get your prospects and customers coming back to you. Be sure they have a fast and easy way to connect. It is easy to See It, Tag It and Share It!

So, you want to know the hottest future trend to help your business gain a competitive edge, huh? No problem… while none of us have a crystal ball and can predict the next huge marketing phenomenon, it doesn't take a stack of tarot cards and a cup of tea leaves to know that your business marketing stratagem needs to include a mobile plan. And that mobile plan should include mobile tagging – a relatively new marketing tool that just might be that next big thing to get your message across to the masses.
The mobile industry has seen staggering growth, already surpassing the three billion mark. In contrast, the internet is fewer than 2 billion. Mobile allows all previous mediums (telephone, print, audio, radio, TV, movies, internet and video games) to be combined in an instrument that fits right in your pocket. That's one powerful mass communication device.
Mobile tags, such as Microsoft Tags or QR codes (QR standing for Quick Response) are a way for the code's contents to be decoded at a rapid speed by using the camera on a mobile device, typically a smart phone. They provide a unique way for a company's products to interact with its existing and future customers.
A tag reader (downloaded app) scans the image and takes the user to a specific webpage. A mobile tag code can be anything like a website, text information, SMS message or even a business card. The code contains information in the vertical direction as well as the horizontal direction, so it can carry hundreds of times more data than an ordinary bar code. This is why these types of codes are called 2D (two dimensional) barcodes, or matrix barcodes. These two dimensional barcodes can be applied to almost any surface and the information contained within them can be leveraged to create incentives and drivers that lead consumers along the purchase path.
The QR code is becoming increasingly popular in the U.S., and while no one can predict just how popular it'll become, it's a good bet mobile tagging will be around for awhile. And since it's still a fresh, unique concept – you should implement mobile tagging as part of your marketing campaign sooner rather than later.
So what are the benefits of using mobile tags?
One advantage is the element of mystery. Without a reader, a viewer won't know exactly what the message is. It's very tempting for someone that sees a giant mobile tag to find out what will happen when they scan it, which makes the viewer one step closer to becoming an actual customer. Of course, you can also tease someone into reading the mobile tag by adding simple text next to the tag that gives the viewer a call to action, such as "Want to save 50%?", "Scan me now for more info" or "Win a wonderful free trip".
Another advantage over typical printed ads is the elimination of long and cumbersome website addresses that take you to a specific landing page. For instance, if you're walking down the street and see an ad for a website that shows funny clown videos. That might be just what your funny bone was looking for, but chances are you won't stop to write the address down and chances are even greater that (if you're like us) you'll forget the URL by the end of the day. But if you have the tag to scan, they get immediate satisfaction. They scan the tag, and are on your website, or watching your video, or calling you with the direct dialer on the spot.
Mobile tags make print media come to life. It takes a flat print platform, be it a magazine article, advertisement, billboard, window cling, golf-cart, bag tag or even a bus-stop bench, to a whole new dimension. No longer are they waiting to get online, or relying on their memory of a website to get your information, they are scanning that tag right then and there for quick and easy access.
We recommend using tags in every type of training program as well. Placement on products, in technical manuals, product disclosures, sales and marketing materials, business cards, letterhead and other communication tools should all contain tags. Even your digital media can include tags. Wherever you need the opportunity to expand information, you should be putting a tag.
One innovative way to do this is through the use of customized tag sheets. At http://www.itagit.com, you can purchase a sheet of your customized tags, 64 on a page, and place those tags everywhere. On your leave-behind materials, your business cards, your product samples, brochures, practically everything you give to a prospect or customer can now be "tagged", driving your customers and prospects to buying triggers you create in about 3 minutes. Get online and try these custom tags. Itagit sends them out within 24 hours of you submitting your order! And you can upload custom images as well. Your logo, your photo, product images – anything you have a digital image of – you can place as the background to your tag. And they cost under $10 to create the custom tag AND receive your sheet of tags!
Test them out – get your tags and get them in action. Improve your communications and your closing ratios with your customers. See It. Tag It. Share It.

I am considering to buy a used CTS, more precisely 2005 or 2006.
I did a search, it looks like rear differential, rear wheel hub are week.
Anybody knows are there any other known problems of these 2 model years? Engine, transmission, suspension and so on?

phil56 Posts: 6I'm interested in purchasing a '06 Cadillac CTS. In my searches, I've found that relatively few pre-owned Cadillacs are actually certified pre-owned. I was wondering (Question #1) if anyone knew the reason for that. In other words, are Cadillac dealers' pre-owned Cadillac inventory not certified because of the stringent requirements or are there other reasons (i.e., are they not certified because they can't be certified or because the dealers just don't take the time to get them certified)?
For example, per Cadillac's web site, there are only 18 certified pre-owned 2005-2007 Cadillac CTS's within 150 miles of Chicago. However, at dealerships in the Chicagoland area, I've found about 10 non-certified pre-owned CTS's that meet nearly my exact requirements. So as a follow-up question, I was wondering (question #2) if it's advisable to purchase a non-certified pre-owned Cadillac from a Cadillac dealer?0
richw5 Posts: 152There is an additional cost to the dealer, to certify a vehicle. Based on your numbers, more than 60 percent of the CTS's you found are certified. That's an unusually high percentage.
In addition, you can pay more to the dealer of an uncertified car, to have it certified. Then again, you can also purchase an extended warranty, just make sure it's from GM or a credible company.0
mymymy Posts: 7Has anyone had a problem with his/her wipers and washer fluid? Today, when I turned the wipers on the washer fluid came on too and continued to spray as long as the wipers were on. Since it was raining, I had to keep turning the wipers on and off to clear the window, and when I did, the washer fluid sprayed out each time. I pushed the washer fluid button on and off several times, turned the car off and restarted (in case something needed to be reset). messed with the wiper control settings, and still the washer fluid button wouldn't work properly. This is just another problem with my dream car that turned out to be a nightmare.0

I apologize for the problems you are experiencing with your wipers. Were you planning on having the vehicle looked at? Please keep me posted.
Thank you,

I bought a beautiful 2005 CTS about 5 months ago and am afraid I made a huge mistake. Typically I have to add a quart of oil every week or two; very disappointed in the quality of this Cadillac. I just don't think it is going to last and now I am stuck making payments on a very expensive piece of junk. I've already had to replace the coil pack and tune up. That synthetic oil is so expensive to have to add a quart every week, it already costs over $100 for a stinking oil change with 6 quarts of the stuff and now I have to keep it on hand to add every week. The interior is falling apart, the handle on the rear inside roof popped out and now the panels that are just above the back seat are popping out. It's just ridiculous. I wish I'd have never bought it. It now has just over 80,000 miles on it and I don't think it will last another year. Trust American cars-NOT!0
cdnpinhead Forest Lakes, AZPosts: 4,612but if you go to the top of the page and click on the link Cadillac CTS after the "what is this discussion about?" it'll open up a list of CTS discussions. Go to Cadillac CTS Engine Problems and read the last hundred or so, or if you're a real glutton for punishment, start at the beginning and read them all.
Good luck.0
gmcustsvcsarah Posts: 1,964Good morning kandrews1,
I'm sorry to read that your CTS has not been a satisfactory vehicle, and can understand why you're frustrated given the multiple concerns you've run into. Have you had an oil consumption test performed on your vehicle? This would be the first step with one of our dealerships in getting this diagnosed and remedied.
Please let us know if you would like to move forward in a diagnosis or if we can check for recalls (email the last 8 digits of your VIN to [email protected]).
All the best,
GM Customer Service0

Did you know the Wachowskis were filming a new "futuristic" movie? Neither did we, until Huffington Post founder Arianna Huffington tweeted a series of pictures from the set of the mystery film, which is about Iraq 90 years from now.
Huffington broke the news that there was a new Wachowski movie, and she was appearing in it, by tweeting a series of pictures showing "how I'll look in 90 years." Including the one above and this one:
And Huffington also tweeted that it's a "futuristic movie on Iraq." (Presumably looking back at the Iraq war, not just about the country in general.)
No further details were forthcoming, even on Huffington's own site. Speculation among film bloggers is that the Wachowskis are simply doing screen tests for their next project. Cinematical's Erik Davis points out, in an email to Slashfilm, that the Wachowskis did option David Mitchell's novel Cloud Atlas, parts of which take place in a post-apocalyptic future. In Cloud Atlas, a series of nested stories take us forward in time from the nineteenth century to the distant future. It's not clear right now if the Wachowskis are producing the film and reported director Tom Tykwer is still on board, or if the Wachowskis have taken over the directing reins.
Update: Chud insists, based on inside sources, that the Wachowskis aren't actually filming a new movie at all:
In fact, [Huffington]'s participating in tests for their next project. They're just shooting a couple of days this month, but it's all just test footage. As to what that next project is... well, I'm trying to find out. But in the meantime know that the Wachowskis are not shooting a secret movie... I should mention that these are likely camera tests. They're shooting on the RED.
Oh, and here's a picture of Huffington with Lana Wachowski and her parents:

The Ricketts family said Thursday they plan to develop a hotel across from Wrigley Field on the property they acquired from McDonald's Corp. over a year ago.
The plan is contingent on agreeing on a deal with local governments to renovate Wrigley Field.
"Once we know how we can save Wrigley Field, the Ricketts Family is looking forward to the opportunity to build a hotel across the street. It could complement the neighborhood and its establishments while also serving fans and tourists," said family spokesman Dennis Culloton.
An agreement had been reached with Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide to develop a boutique hotel, the family said.
The Ricketts family bought property across the street from Wrigley Field from McDonald's Corp. for $20 million.
The family has been seeking state and local taxpayer incentives to help pay for more than $200 million in renovations to the stadium, which is nearly 100 years old.
The family is having continuous conversations about public financing with Mayor Rahm Emanuel and members of the General Assembly.
Until a deal is reached, McDonald's will continue to own and operate the restaurant on the property. McDonald's must be included in any redevelopment of the property, according to the agreement they have with the Rickett's family.

PADI Instructor Development Course. (IDC) - Gili Islands - Indonesia
We run the IDC course in conjunction with Trawangan Dive which is a five star PADI CDC Centre and at 950 Euro including EFRI. It is possibly one of the cheapest IDC you will find, without in any way compromising the quality of our training. We are able to achieve this balance in a variety of ways. The training sites are very close to the dive center and we are situated directly on the beach which means that we minimize the overheads associated with travelling to the training site whilst maximizing the time spent in the classroom. We operate within a large volume dive center so we are able to minimize logistical cost whilst also gaining access to a variety of instructors allowing candidates to see firsthand the different approaches used within real life teaching scenarios.
You will benefit directly from the real-world diving industry experience of our PADI Course Director Holly Macleod. She has over a decade of experience as a PADI Instructor in Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Australia, The Philippines and The Caribbean. Her background means that she has experienced many of the situations an Instructor can expect to meet. She will show you how to apply what you learn and how to successfully handle the challenges instructors face every day.Instructor Development Course
You'll become highly employable, worldwide. Dive centers seek instructors who know how to balance the needs of guests, colleagues and management, and who can deliver high-quality courses, sell and promote diving. Holly will help you to develop and apply the skills that make you more attractive to employers.
You'll gain teaching experience, by shadowing one of our staff teaching a PADI course.
You see for yourself the practicalities of running a course, and make a smooth transition to teaching students of your own.
