One of the biggest child behavior problems is how to stop whining in children. Like fingernails on a chalkboard, whining is one of those sounds that instantly get your attention -- and jangle your nerves. (A study has even proven that whining is one of the most distracting sounds known to man -- something parents knew already from first-hand experience!) Perhaps that's why children seem almost genetically-programmed to be able to do it naturally, like fish know how to swim.
The good news is that parents can definitely influence this challenging behavior. How we react to whining in children and what we say to redirect our kids can make a huge difference in whether or not they resort to this grating tone of voice when they are unhappy about something.
It's also worth keeping in mind that whining becomes much less frequent as children get older. It's rare to see an older grade-schooler resort to whining, especially when parents consistently and lovingly convey the message to a child that whining is not going to be tolerated or an effective way for him to express himself. Here are some steps you can take now to curb whining in your child.
Smart Strategies to Stop Whining in Children
Adjust the way you view whining. Parents need to understand that children are not using whining to deliberately drive them crazy. They are doing it to express their frustration or because they want to be heard. When children express their needs and wants, it's actually a normal part of development and it's a good thing.
Consider what may be triggering this behavior. Does your child whine when he's had a particularly busy day? Or when he's hungry or tired, or hasn't had enough time with you? Or have there been changes in his life on a larger scale, such as a new sibling or a problem at home or at school? Then consider some adjustments to his routines that may help curb whining and other negative behaviors. Try spending some time with your child just hanging out and reading, riding bikes, or cooking together.
Call out the whining. Your child may not even realize that she is whining (this is especially true for younger children). Call her attention to her behavior by demonstrating what she sounds like. You can use humor here and say something like, "What would it be like if grownups went around whining about things they sometimes didn't want to do, such as getting up for work when they are tired or cleaning the house?" Then show your child what whining sounds like. But take care not to make fun of her -- the point is to show her what she sounds like, not to mock her feelings.
Make it clear that whining is not acceptable. Your child has to know that whining is not to be used to express himself. Just as you taught your child when he was a toddler that it was not acceptable to hit when he didn't get his way, you can make it clear to your child now that whining is unpleasant and will never get him what he wants. Tell him clearly and calmly that you will not listen to what he has to say until he is able to say what he wants in a normal tone of voice.
Don't let 'em see you sweat. Apply a little Zen discipline here and stay calm when your child begins whining. Remember when your child was little and she fell, and then would watch for your reaction to decide how upset she should be? The same principle applies here. If your child sees you being affected by her whining -- and even worse, giving in to what she wants when she whines -- then she will take her cues from your reaction.
Do not give in. Would it be easier to just hand your child that pack of candy or coveted toy to stop the whining? Yes. But it would be a definite mistake, and would be a sure-fire way to encourage your child to use whining again the next time he wants something.
Be consistent. Do not enforce the no whining rule in one instance and then give in on another. When you are inconsistent, you are diluting the message that whining is not to be used and is something you will not tolerate.

Halo is one of the - if not the - best shooters ever made, mostly because the AI is rock solid but also because the controls and setting are amazing. Co-op play is a blast and is probably the best co-op mode on any game, ever.

Review: Time Doctor for Mac OS X is a single-function time tracker that works well
Time Doctor for Mac OS X is a fairly straightforward app that allows you to note and record tasks as you perform them, switching on the fly between them with the "Break" button. The result is a shallow but quite useful productivity tool that makes task tracking a lot easier than some of the more complicated apps on the market for OS X. With a relatively low cost to boot, it could be a useful tool for a lot of people.

The Advent Of Netwar
The information revolution is leading to the rise of network forms of organization, with unusual implications for how societies are organized and conflicts are conducted. "Netwar" is an emerging consequence. The term refers to societal conflict and crime, short of war, in which the antagonists are organized more as sprawling "leaderless" networks than as tight-knit hierarchies. Many terrorists, criminals, fundamentalists, and ethno-nationalists are developing netwar capabilities. A new generation of revolutionaries and militant radicals is also emerging, with new doctrines, strategies, and technologies that support their reliance on network forms of organization. Netwar may be the dominant mode of societal conflict in the 21st century. These conclusions are implied by the evolution of societies, according to a framework presented in this RAND study. The emergence of netwar raises the need to rethink strategy and doctrine to conduct counternetwar. Traditional notions of war and low-intensity conflict as a sequential process based on massing, maneuvering, and fighting will likely prove inadequate to cope with nonlinear, swarm-like, information-age conflicts in which societal and military elements are closely intermingled.

Acer was founded by Stan Shih (施振榮), his wife Carolyn Yeh, and a group of five others as Multitech in 1976, headquartered in Hsinchu City, Taiwan.
It began with eleven employees and US$25,000 in capital. Initially, it was primarily a distributor of electronic parts and a consultant in the use of microprocessor technologies. It produced the Micro-Professor MPF-I training kit, then two Apple II clones; the Microprofessor II and III before joining the emerging IBM PC compatible market, and becoming a significant PC manufacturer. The company was renamed Acer in 1987.
In 1989, Shih hired Leonard Liu away from a 20-year career with IBM, making him president of the Acer group and chairman and chief executive officer of Acer America Corp. Liu's managerial style reflected his experience at "Big Blue": in contrast with Shih's traditionally progressive corporate culture, Liu tried to centralize control of Acer. At the same time, the computer industry quickly matured, shifting from a high profit margin business to a low margin commodity practically overnight. Price wars pushed component prices down so rapidly, and a strong New Taiwan dollar made the country's goods so expensive, that it became difficult to make a profit on the finished product.
1990s: creating multinational brand[edit]
In the early 1990s Acer experienced a decline in sales and profit. The US operations in particular were at loss due in particular to price war in this market dominated by Compaq, IBM, and HP. The autonomous management of US executives made things worse. Stan Shih undertook a series of immediate restructuring initiatives such as downsizing non-profitable operations, laying-off low performers, and tightening internal cost control. But in addition he redesigned completely the global organizational structure around three major business units and three managerial innovations.
Instead of creating a series of centrally controlled foreign subsidiaries, Acer established a network of virtually autonomous affiliates, much like a fast food franchise system. Each of these affiliates was managed by a group of locals who determined product configurations, pricing strategies, and promotional programs based on national or regional preferences. The affiliate would usually have just one Taiwanese person on staff to facilitate interorganizational communications. Sales & Marketing Management characterized the system as a "revolutionary departure from the traditional hierarchical model of worldwide branches and subsidiaries reporting to a head office". Instead, it was "a commonwealth of independent companies, united only in their commitment to a common brand name and logo".[5]
In 1993, Acer posted record profits of $75 million; 43 percent of that year's net was generated by the DRAM joint venture, considered "the most efficient in the DRAM industry" by some observers. Total sales grew to $3.2 billion in 1994, and net income increased to $205 million, as Acer America turned its first annual profit in the 1990s. From 1994 to 1995, Acer advanced from 14th to ninth among the world's largest computer manufacturers, surpassing Hewlett-Packard, Dell, and Toshiba.
In 1994, Shih unveiled a plan to "deconstruct" Acer into 21 publicly traded business units by the end of the 20th century. Acer Inc. would continue to own anywhere from 19 percent to 40 percent of the firms' stock, but Shih hoped that their independent status would enable the individual units to compete more effectively by facilitating entrepreneurship, inspiring research and development, and allowing for corporate fundraising through stock and bond offerings.
In 1995, the Aspire PC was unveiled. In 1996, Acer expanded into consumer electronics, introducing many new, inexpensive videodisc players, video telephones, and other devices to boost global market share,[3] and in 1997 extended its laptop efforts by buying Texas Instruments' mobile PC division.
Considering two consecutive quarters of net losses in Q2+Q3 2011 and realization they are selling too many products; 101 individual notebook, netbook and chromebook SKUs in the United States alone, Acer will cut product lines by two thirds beginning in 2012.[6]

In 1998, Acer reorganized into five groups: Acer International Service Group, Acer Sertek Service Group, Acer Semiconductor Group, Acer Information Products Group, and Acer Peripherals Group. Two years later that corporate restructuring did not appear to have made a significant impact on the company overall, and stock prices were falling. Shih restructured again. To dispel complaints from clients that Acer competed with its own products and to alleviate the competitive nature of the branded sales vs. contract manufacturing businesses, Shih spun off the contract business, renaming it Wistron Corporation. The restructuring resulted in two primary units: brand name sales and contract manufacturing. The restructuring also resulted in Acer breaking off several of its smaller operations, including semiconductor design, consumer electronics, and liquid-crystal displays.[7]
Already starting in 1999 the Company took a series of cost-cutting measures: workforce was reduced, US Operations were downsized. But J.T Wang initiated a profound re-structuring. He introduced a more centrally integrated approach based on 3 global principles: "One Global Company", "One Global Brand" and "One Global Team".
2000s growth[edit]
Early signs indicated that the spinoff strategy had worked well, especially in Europe, where Acer became a popular PC brand. The global business model behind this restructuring was to transform Acer from a high technology, hardware-focused company to a customer-centric service-oriented company. On the strategic front, contrary to others PCs vendors who tried to emulate Dell by adopting the direct-sales model, Acer decided to rely on third party channels. By getting rid of all manufacturing functions Acer was free to source all hardware from multiple suppliers. The supply chain model was to direct the flow of goods directly from suppliers to distributors through a headquarters' centralised enterprise resource planning system (ERP) fed by information coming from local subsidiaries.
In 2003, company sales increased 48 percent to $4.6 billion, and helped Acer surpass Japan's Toshiba and NEC, making it the world's fifth largest maker of PCs.[7] In 2005, Acer has successfully implemented the Channel Business Model across its worldwide operations. In 2004, Gianfranco Lanci, an Italian, was promoted CEO of Acer Inc. while J.T Wang remained President.
Growth and netbook raise[edit]
Acer increased worldwide sales while simultaneously reducing its labor force by identifying and using marketing strategies that best utilized their existing distribution channels. By 2005, Acer employed a scant 7,800 people worldwide. Revenues rose from US$4.9 billion in 2003[8] to US$11.31 billion in 2006.
Acer's North American market share has slipped over the past few years, while in contrast, the company's European market share has risen.[9]
In the mid-2000s years, consumer notebooks have been almost the sole growth drivers for the PC industry, and Acer's exceptionally low overheads and dedication to the channel had made it one of the main beneficiaries of this trend.[10] Acer grew quickly in Europe in part by embracing the use of more traditional distribution channels targeting retail consumers when some rivals were pursuing online sales and business customers. In 2007 Acer bought Gateway in the USA and Packard Bell in Europe and became the Number 3 world provider of computers and number 2 for notebooks, and achieved significant improvement in profitability. Acer has been striving to become the world`s largest PC vendor, in the belief that the goal can help it achieve economy of scale and garner higher margin.[11] But such a reliance on the high-volume, low-value PC market made Acer exposed when buying habits changed.
2010's sales falling and restructuring[edit]
Following the decline in sales, especially of notebooks, the company's president Gianfranco Lanci, the man who was largely responsible for the super-efficient, high-volume channel business model that made Acer the second biggest PC OEM by sales volume was departed due to disagreements with the shareholders. Lanci said that the interests that control Acer were worried that his plan would lead to a de-Taiwanization of the company while he was just trying to make it more global.[12]
On June 2011, Acer re-evaluated its inventory-management strategy in light of worsening economic conditions in Europe, clarifying a large write-down. Acer said the main reason for the disputes was "high inventory" carried by distributors of its products, reflecting an "inappropriate strategy" in its European operations under the current market situation. According to Acer, "Southern Europe's economic situation has been worsening since last year" and the stagnant technology market, particularly in Spain, "influenced Acer's PC sales". Acer discovered the problems through a routine audit, it added.[13]
In efforts to stimulate growth, the company began in strategic restructuring aimed at strengthening Acer as a marketing-oriented company. To energize and strengthen Acer's global marketing organization, Acer began engaging with Red Peak Group, a global marketing services firm, and appointed Red Peak Chairman Michael Birkin as Acer Chief Marketing Officer. In addition to the marketing organization and personnel changes, Birkin has been assigned to lead a newly established marketing committee as Chairman, responsible for integrating Acer's global branding and marketing strategy.[14]
In September 2012, chairman Wang declared Acer's top priority as to boost its operating margin. The company plans to sell more ultrabook laptops and touch-enabled Windows 8 devices, and invest more in product research, development and marketing. He said the global economic slowdown and product transition to the new Windows operating system have made business more challenging.[15]
2013 re-organization[edit]
On November 2013 Chairman and CEO J.T. Wang, and President Jim Wong, both resigned due to the company's bad financial performance. Wang had already been reportedly due to leave Acer at year's end to be replaced by Wong. Acer founder Stan Shih has taken over as board chairman and interim president as the company searches for a new candidate to assume the role of presidency. The position of CEO will be eliminated and its responsibilities transferred to the chairman or president, according to Acer in order to improve decision-making efficiency.[16][17][18] On December 23 Acer named Jason Chen, vice president of worldwide sales and marketing at Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing, as its new president and CEO, effective Jan. 1.[19]
In 1988, Acer acquired Counterpoint Computers
In 1990, Acer acquired Altos Computer Corporation
On 27 August 2007, Acer announced plans to acquire its US-based rival Gateway, Inc. for US$710 million. Acer's chairman, Jen-tang Wang, stated that the acquisition "completes Acer's global footprint, by strengthening our United States presence".[20] Included in this acquisition was the eMachines brand.
In January 2008, Acer announced that it had acquired a controlling interest of 75% of Packard Bell.[21]
In March 2008, Acer acquired: E-TEN. In 2009, Acer acquired 29.9% of Olidata.
In August 2010, Acer and Founder Technology signed a memorandum of mutual understanding to strengthen their long term PC business cooperation.
In July 2011, Acer Inc. bought iGware Inc. for $320 million to try possible potentially lucrative cloud market.[22] iGware creates cloud software and infrastructure tools for devices.[23]
29 April 2010[24]
- Acer announced revenue in Q1 rose 36 percent year-on-year to NT$162.1 billion (US$5.2 billion) and its net profit increased 63 percent to 3.29 billion New Taiwan dollars (US$104.7 million); 27 percent of revenue comes from the U.S.
- Gianfranco Lanci announced that Acer will launch 4 new smartphones by Q3 2010, and a series of "Internet Devices" by the end of May which will run version 4.0 of its Shell user interface.
- According to Gartner and IDC, Acer now ranks No. 1 worldwide in notebook shipments.[25]
North America[edit]
Acer America Corporation, headquartered in San Jose, California, is a member of the Acer Group. Acer's R&D, engineering, manufacturing and marketing operations in the United States and Canada are handled by Acer America. The U.S. headquarters was opened with a staff of three in 1985, as Multitech Electronics USA, in Mountain View, California. In 1986, the U.S. headquarters was moved to San Jose, California. In September 1990, Acer acquired Altos Computer Systems, one of the top manufacturers of multi-user and networked Unix computer systems for commercial markets. In February 1997, Acer acquired Texas Instruments Mobile Computing business, including the award-winning TravelMate and Extensa notebook lines, making Acer the fourth-leading notebook manufacturer in the United States. In 2007 Acer acquired PC maker Gateway. The acquisitions marked Acer's return to the US consumer market that it abandoned in 1999 after losing $45m struggling to build brand awareness. Acer America's Canadian office, in Mississauga, Ontario, handles repair of Acer, Gateway, and E-Machine Notebooks and Desktop PCs for Eastern Canada. Acer has several facilities in Temple, Texas including a repair facility, a parts warehouse, and a call center. In the words of its Chief Executive, J.T. Wang, "Building a brand is very different in the US. The investment at the initial stage has to be very big—otherwise there is almost no impact".[26]
The Australian subsidiary of Acer is Acer Computer Australia (ACA). The subsidiary was established in 1990, and is currently Australia's third largest personal computer vendor, behind Hewlett-Packard Australia and Dell Australia and New Zealand. Acer Computer Australia has Australia's highest overall market share in notebook PC and tablet PC sales. The company is also Australia's leading PC vendor in government and education markets. Acer Computer Australia has 480 employees as of 2006.
Acer's subsidiary in India is Acer India (Pvt) Limited, and was incorporated as a wholly owned subsidiary of Acer Computer International, Ltd. in 1999. It is a notable vendor in key segments such as education, desktop computers and low profile notebooks for education. The headquarters are in Bangalore, India.
By the early 1990s Acer has gained some valuable experience in emerging markets with operations in Latin America and Asia. President William Lu asked Steve Kuzara if he wanted to give Russia a try and open an Acer representative office in Moscow. Kuzara had expressed an interest in Russia when he first began working at Acer in 1990. Acer set up its office in the highly-competitive Russian PC market in 1993. Acer competitors such as Hewlett-Packard, Dell Computers, Digital Equipment Corporation, Apple, and Compaq were already there.
From the late 90's to mid-2000's Acer had computer factories in Europe, too. The business area was the whole EMEA. In the Netherlands under the name of Acer IMS bv there were two factories: Acer laptop factory in Den Bosch and Acer and IBM desktop factory in Tilburg.[27][28] Acer had also facilities in Germany under the name of IMS in Ahrensburg and Hamburg.
The factory in Tilburg produced also - in limited quantities - various Acer server models and even TV set top boxes. In their prime the monthly production could reach over 40.000 desktop PCs per month, well rivaling the main Acer factories in USA and Taiwan.
In year 2000 Acer extracted its computer production under the branch of Wistron. Also the Dutch branch Acer IMS bv and the German brand IMS were merged with this. Despite the successful production model developed in the Dutch factories both plants were relocated in 2002. The laptop factory was relocated to mainland China and the desktop factory (after ending the IBM desktop production) was relocated Hungary.[29] Soon the Hungarian factory was also moved to mainland China.[citation needed] Acer is a popular brand in Bulgaria.[30][31] as well.
Acer has shipped some of their notebooks and more recently netbooks, with various Linux operating system distributions including Ubuntu, Linpus, Android (in a dual boot environment with Windows XP), and Google Chrome OS. They have also launched a line of smartphones and tablets with Android.

Environmental record[edit]
In 2005, Acer published its first environmental report, for which the company used the GRI guidelines.[32] All of Acer's tier-one suppliers have acquired ISO 14001 certification.[33]
In November 2011, Acer was ranked 12th place out of 15 in Greenpeace's re-launched Guide to Greener Electronics, with the a score of 2.9 points out of 10. The Guide ranks electronics makers according to their policies and practices to reduce their impact on the climate, produce greener products, and make their operations more sustainable.[34]
Greenpeace criticized the company for not setting out targets to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions as intended in 2010 and for not providing external verification for the GHG emissions it reports for its operations and business travel. It also scored badly on the Products criteria receiving no points on product life cycle while Greenpeace noted that a higher percentage of its products need to meet or exceed Energy Star standards in order for it to score more points.[34]
It received some praise for launching new products which are free from polyvinyl chloride plastic (PVC) and brominated flame retardants (BFRs) and the company informed Greenpeace that the majority of its products will be PVC/BFR free in the near future. Acer also scored well on chemical management for lobbying for restrictions on organo-halogens and was commended for reporting on GHG emissions from its first tier suppliers and investigating its second tier.[34]
In its 2012 report on progress relating to conflict minerals, the Enough Project rated Acer the seventh highest of 24 consumer electronics companies.[35]
Acer sponsored the BAR-Honda Formula One racing team in the year 2000.[36] In 2001, Acer provided sponsorship to the Prost Grand Prix Formula One team, and the team's Ferrari engines were badged as Acers.
Acer sponsored the Ferrari Formula 1 team from 2003 up to 2012 (Official Supplier since 2006) and its Top Sponsor of FC Internazionale – Milano (Inter Milan) Football Club. From 2007 to 2009 Acer has been Official Supplier of FC Barcelona.[37] On 19 March 2007, Acer announced it will sponsor the Factory Fiat Yamaha Team for the 2007 MotoGP World Championship season. From 2009, Packard Bell (that it is part of Acer Group) is the sponsor of Yamaha Factory Racing Team.[38] since 2010 Acer support Army United F.C. the Thai football team of the Thai Premier League.
Acer has been Worldwide TOP Partners for both the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games and Singapore Youth Olympic Games. Acer was TOP Partner of the London 2012 Summer Olympics.
On July 19, 2011, Acer formed a professional gaming team. The company currently supports from around the world who represent Acer in games such as StarCraft 2, TrackMania, and FIFA Soccer.[39]

What the ............????? I'm expecting to see some gameplay..... How can we judge just by taking a trip through the franchise logos???
pointless, i got nothing from that... but looking at the screenshots the games looks cool, mpdern consoles have NO DECENT space shoot-em-ups/sims its a travesty that these genres simply dont exist on current kickass hardware! LucasArts need to make a new star wars space shooter NOW!!
To be fair, most teaser trailers at least show the primary character (if there is one). And the background music sounded a LOT like Portal 2.

We had an enormous turnout on Sunday afternoon to hear and meet Michael Korda, and with good reason. He was wonderful! He spoke eloquently of the Battle of Britain. Audience members were eager to have their books signed and to speak with him after the presentation.
You can check out Michael Korda's new book, With Wings Like Eagles: The History of the Battle of Britain here at the Library. In case you missed his fabulous talk (or want to experience it again), click on the image below.
We've experienced Mr. Korda's commanding presence before. (Remember when he was here in November 2007 (photo at right) to talk about Ike: An American Hero?) I say "commanding" because he is nothing short of it. His command of the information, the history, the words, his voice, and any room he enters is something to behold. Whether reading from his book or in discussion, he has the unique ability to transport the listener.
We are delighted that Michael Korda wanted to return to Darien Library! With Wings Like Eagles, released just a few weeks ago, is already being considered the only book that describes the political maneuvering and behind-the-scenes strategizing that surrounded the Battle of Britain. This bestselling author has received excellent reviews for this latest book, including the following from Diana Preston of The Washington Post:
"…passionate and eloquent …With Wings Like Eagles is a skillful, absorbing, often moving contribution to the popular understanding of one of the few episodes in history to live on untarnished and undiminished in the collective memory and to deserve the description "heroic."
Personally, I am preparing for another memorable evening at the Library and I am immersing myself in the time period. After reading With Wings Like Eagles, I watched the new dvd, Flying the Secret Sky: The Story of the Royal Air Force Ferry Command and am currently reading Ken Follett's suspense tale set in the early days of WWII, Hornet Flight. Of course, you don't need to prepare for this fabulous author event which is part of our Grand Opening Author Series...just be prepared to be mesmerized.
A reception and book signing will follow the presentation. Books will be available for purchase.
So, there we were in our new Green building (LEED Gold!) with our second author in our Grand Opening Author Series, Deirdre Imus! Deirdre, the author of the bestselling "Green This!" series, has a new book out -- The Essential Green You! : Easy Ways To Detox Your Diet, Your Body, And Your Life, and she was here last night to talk to us about all things GREEN. From the state of our health (especially that of our children), to the impact of cleaning products, makeup, toiletries, plastics, fabrics, food, soy, dairy, toxic jeans, toxic tee shirts...
There were several audience members taking notes last night and lots more that purchased one (or all) of Deirdre's books. A book signing followed the presentation and the author was so gracious and enthusiastic -- chatting with all that came up to the table.
We had a huge crowd last night for this event. We are pleased and proud to have been able to bring such an important program to Darien -- one that's clearly important to our Members. We extend a huge thank you to Dierdre Imus for bringing such grace and warmth to what is often a scary and cold topic.
P.S. She loved our Library!
Last night, we held our first event in our new Community Room. We wanted to open with something big...something unforgettable. What would bring folks out on a cold January afternoon? Pete Hamill!
The house was packed for this special event. Hamill was superb -- he is the perfect mix of intelligence and street-smarts, eloquence and ordinary, philosophical and realistic, sophistication and homespun, which is probably why everyone seemed to greet him as a friend.
He talked about his life, his work, the state of the world today, and he talked about libraries(!). His stories were full of pride, hope, humor, and history...a lot like him. Wow. We were so fortunate to have heard him speak and to meet him!
He was thoughtful and generous with his time and his remarks throughout the afternoon and evening. After the presentation, there was a long line of people waiting to have books signed -- he thanked them for their patience and was attentive to each individual that approached him (he gave what I'm sure was precious advice to a young journalism student and a kiss to a woman that asked(!))...there were so many memorable encounters.
This event was the perfect high note in our Grand Opening crescendo.
A huge thank you to Pete Hamill. New Yorker. Gentleman. Craftsman. Icon.
(Doors open at 4:30)
A reception and book signing will follow the presentation. Books will be available for purchase.
We may have been closed, but we did not stop planning interesting and exciting Library programs. We are eager to tell you all about our upcoming events! Certainly, the Grand Opening on January 10th is our biggest event. Opening our doors to the public again will be a grand day, indeed.
We are off to a running start with a Grand Opening Author Series and the return of our Friday Film Series.
We will kick off the Author Series at 5 p.m. on January 25th with a program featuring Pete Hamill . In the following weeks and months, we'll be visited by Deirdre Imus, Michael Korda, Arthur and Pauline Frommer, Christina Pugh, Ilene Beckerman and Giulia Melucci, and Randall Jones.
Also, this month, we will begin our Friday Film Series. On January 30th at 7:30 p.m., we open with The Visitor. One of the few sleeper hits of the year, this movie is showing up on lots of "Best of 2008" lists (I know it's on mine.)
We know you won't want to miss any of these memorable events! (We're already well underway planning more spring and summer events. Whatever the season, whatever the reason, we are the place. )
We are very pleased and proud to announce the New Darien Library's Grand Opening Author Series! We are happy too, that the celebratory mood of our Grand Opening will continue for several months. Please join us for these special events which are sure to be memorable. A reception and book signing will follow each of these presentations.(Books will be available for purchase.)

Dear Diary, Last night, Lily Koppel, author of The Red Leather Diary: Reclaiming a Life Through the Pages of a Lost Journal, spoke at the Library. What a fabulous presentation, and what a fabulous young woman! We'd read the book so we already knew that Florence Wolfson, the keeper of the real red leather diary was an interesting, vivacious, and intelligent woman. Last night, we got to see what kind of woman Lily Koppel is and we are really impressed (and now we know why Florence opened up to her). Lily is instantly likable; smart, articulate, thoughtful in her words and actions, a great storyteller, and most importantly...she really listens when people speak. The audience loved her and couldn't wait to talk with her. "Best program ever!" someone exclaimed. "I hope she comes back!" another said. Here are pictures from the evening that many did not want to see end.
Well, Diary, that's all for today. We had a great evening, thanks to Lily! We're glad we got to meet her.
We have no shortage of events at the Library during the month of October. On the schedule, we have a Meet the Author Program, our Foreign Film Series begins, and we return with our Short Story Discussion Group.
This Thursday, October 2nd at 7 p.m., Lily Koppel will be here to talk about her wonderful book, The Red Leather Diary: Reclaiming a Life Through the Pages of a Lost Journal.

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by Peter2014 Another wondeeful experience staying at IC-Singapore!
InterContinental is known for its
outstanding services, friendly and accommodating staff, well appointed rooms and great amenities. In our stays we've found this to be true. We are happy, repeat customers here.
Our stay this time started with a pleasant check-in. The reception staff upgraded our room to a very nice, spacious, well appointed room on the 5th fl. We enjoyed all the wondeful services, great amenities, including the daily fruit basket with extra chocolates; special pillows; daily breakfast in beautiful Olive Tree, which serves great brunch buffet and has exceptionally friendly and helpful staff, including the managers, who constantly helped out the crew. All staff greeted the guests and made sure everything was satisfactory! My wife put the fitness center and the pool to good use. We also enjoyed the drinks and service at the charming Victoria Bar very much.
We were delighted that IC- Singapore continued its tradition of hosting spectacular Lion dances in its large, circular front courtyard this year, which, in fact, included an exciting Dragon Dance! For the Superbowl, it was very nice of IC to let guests watch THE GAME in our own room early in the morning!
We'll be back to IC-Singapore next time in town.

Rated 3.0 out of 5.0 by ThisFieldIsAnnoying Invoicing
Invoicing was a nightmare. I am still in discussions with them regarding overcharges for breakfast. When I checked-in, the agent indicated breakfast was not included in my rates. She asked if I would like to accept @ $25/breakfast. I agreed. She then asked if I wanted breakfast included in my room rate or billed separately. I indicated separately. My final bill included breakfast in my room rate. Correcting it has generated multiple statements with differrent rates each time. I'm not sure if I was billed what was originally quoted. The staff has been very pleasant and apologetic during this ordeal, but the results are disappointing. It was not a pleasant way to end my travels.

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by DRJVH Five Star service
Arrived at the Intercontinental Singapore and was greeted by the reception staff with efficiency and courtesy. We were shown to the Club lounge and offered drinks whilst our check in was completed. Everything was explained to us about what was available.
We were given an upgrade to a shophouse room. Whilst the room was very comfortable we found that the walk from the room to hotel foyer was too far away. There needs to be another exit and if there was one, we didn't find it. The Club lounge was excellent, the food, drinks selection and of course the impeccable service were five star.
Will highly recommend this hotel to other business associates and friends.

We stayed at this hotel in 2011 and thought it was amazing. Not disappointed with second visit. Lounge with pianist was, as before, delightful. Excellent food, rooms, convenient position all first class.

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by TobingChina Another Family Holiday in Singapore
This year again I spend my holiday with my family in Singapore, and like the previous years, I surely choose Intercontinental Singapore.
Unlike the previous yeas, this time I just enjoy the environment of Chinese Lunar New Year.
Intercontinental Singapore provide me with wonderful accomodation as well as experience. We have the opportunity to take part in small celebration of Yu Sheng at the Club Lounge.
Wonderful. Warmhearted greetings from the staff.
Also, I receive a welcome gift. A pair of ceramic chopsticks. Very nice. Unfortunately due to misplace in my luggage, the chopsticks break.
Anyway, I look forward to having another wonderful holiday in Singapore and stay at Intercontinental Singapore for sure.
Wish all the best in 2014.

Armstead said GOP delegates would also propose amending the constitution to roll back taxes on such non-real estate property as business inventory and equipment. Though frequently targeted by business, attempts to loosen the constitution's rigid control of these taxes have failed. As property taxes provide revenues to counties and their schools, replacing those dollars has been a key sticking point.
House Republicans plan to offer offsetting a rollback with tax revenues from the renewed drilling of underground shale deposits like the Marcellus for natural gas. But Kessler has already proposed depositing and then investing those severance tax proceeds for 20 years. The concept of such a "future fund'' has gained ground among some lawmakers, and several of the candidates who won on Tuesday.
"I would be more inclined to pursue a future fund,'' Kessler said.
Kessler is similarly skeptical of House Republicans' plan to revisit the way the state funds its road needs, in part by including them in the general revenue budget. West Virginia now operates the State Road Fund, a separate section of the annual spending plan, to address those needs.
"We need a permanent, more dedicated funding source rather than just general revenue,'' Kessler said. "We're willing to explore anything, but at the end of the day you need a certain amount of money to maintain the services that people depend upon.''
The GOP's House gains should also revive discussion of whether the state should assess whether legislation, from tax breaks meant to spur the economy to regulations overseeing workplaces and business practices, influence hiring or development. With Tomblin and Senate Democrats also talking about making West Virginia more business friendly, Armstead said Republican delegates will push to require regular reviews of regulations and including a jobs impact statement with bills.
"When regulations are passed, you should look back and see whether they're meeting the goal intended or are instead hurting'' the economy, Armstead said. "They shouldn't just be placed on the books and be left there forever.''

Gas prices are down locally as well as statewide and around the country. According to new figures released by the U-S Energy Department, regular unleaded fell three cents in the past week to an average now of $3.82 a gallon nationwide. Oil analyst Tom Kloza says refinery output suggests the trend will continue. The cheapest gas is along the Gulf Coast at $3.54. Californians are still paying at $4.62 per gallon, but prices there have halted their climb. Gas prices in the Gary metropolitan area are averaging about $3.61 for a gallon of regular unleaded, down from about $3.79 a week ago, according to AAA, which says the statewide average is at about $3.65.
