This was requested by someone. I swear! I'm not a good writer, though.
Concept and written by: Strawberry
Proofread by: My good friend, Patrick
Clouds quickly filled the seemingly lifeless black sky, forming together like globs of grey and white paint. Tiny white polka-dots materialized from the clouds above, slowly falling towards the ground below, coating the top of the deep snow blanket enveloping the small village of Evertear. Every crystallized snowflake was as uniquely created as the beings that inhabited the planet Xale. A young girl stood knee-deep in the snow, her delicate, thin legs soaking wet. She joyously looked up towards the sky, her rosy tongue sticking out from her soft, pink lips, attempting to catch the tiny cream-white orbs that descended from above.
The still night air was abruptly disturbed by the once quiet murmurs of the surrounding villagers becoming louder. Coming to her senses, the girl hurried over to the crowd swarming in the middle of the village. She leaped several times, desperate to find the heart of the commotion. Flapping her gray wings, she floated above the villagers and looked ahead.
A large stage had been built in the center of Evertear. On top of the contraction stood seven shadowy-like figures, fanned out with a single silhouette in the front, two more behind it, and four others positioned in the back. Suddenly, two eye piercing lights blasted on, and music began to play. Two slender girls started dancing to the beat of the rhythm, while the other five entertainers were performing the music on their instruments. The villagers began to clap and move along with the flow of the melody.
Gently dropping to the ground, the girl cautiously moved through the chaotic, yet joyous crowd toward the troupe. She held her pale-as-snow hands together and closed her violet eyes, as the warm sound seeped through her long pointed ears, her heart, and into her soul. Her thoughts were abruptly interrupted by a playful shove from the back. She turned around quickly, her fluffy blonde hair soaring around her small, delicate face.
Gylwen Faowind stood there, her purple eyes shining like jewels that have just been polished.
"There you are, Aelina!" she grinned. "Want to dance?" She threw her tanned hands out for Aelina, who grabbed onto them tightly. "I knew you wouldn't say no! Heh!"
The girls moved their bodies to the music, twirling each other around in circles. Gylwen took lead, although Aelina felt that her friend had no sense of rhythm. Regardless, she smiled, having a good time. However, Gylwen occasionally saw her best friend stare over at the stage in intervals. Frustrated, she pulled Aelina to the side.
She placed her hands on her hips. "Is something bothering you? You seem preoccupied, " she said, curiously.
Aelina nodded, lowering her head. "I suppose I am, I'm sorry. It's just that… It looks so much fun up there."
"More fun than being with your best friend?" Gylwen asked, playfully.
"They look like they're having a good time," Aelina noted to Gylwen. "I just wish, for a little while, I could try the theater life."
Gylwen looked away. "Maybe so, Aelina, but… what can you do? I don't recall you playing any instruments or dancing well."
Aelina looked back up at Gylwen, sighing. "I'm not sure, but…" Suddenly a faint smile formed on her face. "I could sing!"
"Are you sure? Do you have what it takes?" Gylwen asked her.
Aelina glanced at the stage, and the performers. "I'll let them tell me. For now, it will be just you and me, Gylwen!"
Gylwen laughed as Aelina grabbed her by the hand, dancing with her until the stroke of midnight.
The clouds floated away from each other as the falling snow gradually faded away. It was silent once more, as the troupe was packing up for a night's rest. Warily, Aelina approached the band, with hope in her bright eyes. One of the boys looked up quickly from his instrumental case as he heard her movement through the wet snow. Covered in Aelina's small shadow, he stood up, staring at her with his dark brown, lifeless eyes.
Annoyed, he mused, "what do you want?"
Aelina played with her thumbs; a war between her hands began, as she stared at the snow nervously, "… Could I possibly, join up with you?"
He laughed callously at her, his spiky blonde hair jiggling with each movement his body made. "No," he said after calming down.
One of the dancers, a dark skinned girl walked towards them, tapping her foot with impatience. She closed her lush purple eyes, shaking her head and her long dark violet hair with it.
"Esmond, be nice," she told him. "I'm sorry –"
"Aelina," Aelina interrupted her."
"Gotcha, Aelina… We don't just let anyone in. You must have… some sort of musical talent."
The dancer looked at another young man sitting cross-legged on the stage, polishing his flute. He lifted his head, stood up and walked over to Aelina, leisurely examining her.
"Is there a problem? Tsuki?" he asked.
"This girl would like to join our group," Tsuki replied.
"Hello," the boy said, smiling with his emerald green eyes as well as his mouth. He pulled his shoulder-length sea blue hair away from his face with his fingers. "What can I do for you?"
"I would like to sing for your band," Aelina told him.
"Do you have any experience?" the boy asked her.
Aelina shook her head, "Well, I…"
Cutting her off, the boy patted Aelina on the shoulder. "Why don't you sing for us right now?"
Aelina nodded, clearing her throat, opened her mouth, and the soothing element of sound was created, flowing through their bodies; a strong, yet gentle sound resonating into their ears. The boy noted Aelina's potential, clasping his hands together. When she finished, her cheeks became rosy red with embarrassment, as she looked away –not knowing what to say or do.
After a long silence, the boy finally said, "You certainly have talent…" He casted his hand out at Aelina, introducing himself. "I'm Aidan Callaghan."
"Aelina Rowan. Pleased to meet you," Aelina took his hand, and felt a pleasant sensation travel throughout her body.
"My only concern is your age," Aidan said. "How old are you? Fifteen? Sixteen?"
"Sixteen," Aelina told him.
"I suppose you still live with your parents, I assume?" Aidan sighed.
"I assure you, it will be no problem," Aelina smiled. "I'm sure they won't mind at all! They're very… lenient. How long will you be in town?"
Aidan quickly glanced over at the other band members, then shot back at Aelina. "We're leaving the island tomorrow, in the morning. We couldn't afford the long trip here from the northern continent..."
Aelina smiled. "Alright, I'll see you then!" She waved, then cheerfully dashed off through the snow away from the stage, disappearing in the distance.

You're doing a good job so far. You've introduced the setting and characters. It's a very cute story, too~ One thing when you talk about the character. You don't have to describe the character's appearance right off. You can wait and as the story goes along, you can add such as you go along. That way, it gives the reader room to build an image of the character for them self~ I learned that tip when writing my own story.
Keep writing and posting your work. It's great to get feedback on what you work hard on~

Yeah, the reason I described them, is kind of because they have specific appearances. I mean it's based after the same characters from my game, and I think it would be odd if they imagined Aelina with curly pink hair and green eyes, then they see/play the game and realize she has blonde hair and violet eyes. o.o I might get rid of the minor character's descriptions though, since I don't really care how people think of them. XD

I thought that might be the case and it would have to work that way if you want them to have them visualized from the beginning. Lol! No, you should keep the other guys. It will bring them to life to along with the main character.

Hey! More writing! It's been awhile!
The large, heavy harness fell to the floor at Nelly Ashtear-Finn's small feet. The girl glanced down, smiling nervously as she tucked her long auburn hair behind one of her ears. She wore nothing but a light yellow tunic on her tiny, yet nimble body. She blanked her bright azure eyes several times before finally gazing upon the woman besides her – one of the house maids. The woman, her face worn from old age, was shaking her head at Nelly, her hand on her forehead.
"You are simply too small, child," she told the girl.
Sudden movement near the doorway caused heads to turn quickly, and standing there was Lady Yunae. She looked like a much older version of Nelly, and wore a long violet gown decorated with fine detail, lace, and bows. She stepped closer, but did so very slowly.
"Eleanor… Are you sure you wish to do this…?" Lady Yunae bowed her head as she said this to her daughter. "I do not know what I would do if…"
Hearing the sniffling words of her mother, Nelly leaped over the harness and towards Lady Yunae, wrapping her arms around her. She hugged her mother tightly, trying to comfort her. Her mother continued speaking, this time through tears.
"I already sent one daughter away," she told Nelly. "I do not wish to lose another…"
Nelly simply grinned widely. "You never lost Illenia, she's simply in the University studying. I'll be right here in the capital the whole time at the Royal Knight's Academy!"
"Do not baby the girl, Yunae!" came a boisterous voice.
Standing behind the startled Lady of the Manor, was a large man holding a cigar in his right hand. He was smiling, but it was not full of joy. Nelly's eyes widened, as she was afraid of Lord Darien and could sense his true intent in that grin of his. She stepped away cautiously.
"What's wrong, Eleanor?" Lady Yunae asked, unaware of Lord Darien's presence behind her.
"N-nothing is wrong, m-mother…" The girl replied, stuttering, as flashbacks of her childhood shot through her brain.
"Bwa ha ha ha!" Lord Darien laughed. "The girl simply fears me is all!"
Lady Yunae smiled cheerfully. "Eleanor, there's nothing to be scared of."
"Mother…" Nelly began, then deciding to give up. "It's nothing. May I be excused to my room, Lord Darien?"
Lord Darien glared at Nelly. "What's the matter, afraid to call me father? Bwa ha ha ha! Sure, leave! You can never escape, though…"
Still dressed in just a tunic, Nelly ran out and towards her bedroom. Lord Darien was right, she thought. There is no escape from him. She continued to hurry, afraid to stop, and afraid to turn around. He was not following her, yet she knew he could instantly appear and make her miserable. Again, memories flooded into her head. She stopped instantly and held her head, trying to make them disappear. She fell to her knees as she remembered everything he did to her. Tears formed into her eyes as she sat there, unable to control herself.
Although Illenia was the first to verbally tell anyone that something was very wrong with Lord Darien, Nelly experienced it all physically. She kept quiet, though, as fear had sealed her mouth shut. Right now, she missed Illenia more than anything, as she was perhaps the only sane person in the Ashtear Manor. Everyone else, including their mother seemed to notice nothing was wrong – like they were under some sort of magic spell.
Nelly stood up slowly, and began moving again – but this time at a snail's pace. She had worn herself out from sobbing, her legs now feeling weak and pathetic. She would have to become stronger – not only physically but emotionally if she wished to become a Knight. Lord Darien had expressed to her several times that he wished she was a man to carry on the family name of "Finn" and to become a fine warrior. Nelly wanted to prove to him that a woman was not some toy and could do anything they wanted to – just the same as some man.
She finally reached her bedroom, a neat and tidy place. Several stuffed animals – mostly rabbits – sat against the headboard of the bed. Light yellows and deep oranges mainly filled the room as Nelly's colors of choice. Nelly head over to her armoire, opened a drawer, and pulled out short light brown leggings. She pulled them up to her waist, then grabbed her leather ankle boots and pulled them over her feet. Within moments, she was outside of the Manor.
A soft grey stone wall surrounded the entire capital of Aleris, with a large castle overlooking the entire city. The Royal Knight's Academy was connected to the castle itself and the Knight's barracks. Nelly felt like an insect compared to the mass amount of people that would soon swarm around her as she entered the business district. She wanted to visit her sister, but the University was too far for her to travel alone, and not just anyone could walk right in. Saddened, Nelly continued to wander around aimlessly until she saw a small crowd gathered together in the city square.
She could hear music emanating from the middle of the horde. Nelly's face lit up with joy as she suddenly skipped over to the performance. A short young girl, Nelly was forced to jump up and down to see what was going on. When that did not work, she pushed her way through the crowd towards the front.
A band of Werebeasts were playing instruments and singing songs for money – as Nelly noted by people throwing gold at their feet. Her eyes widened in amazement, as most people feared them due to their ability to transform into a certain creature; or monster. Nelly stepped forward cautiously and before she knew it, she had fallen to the ground, flat on her face. The music stopped and the crowd became quiet. This time, she was in the spotlight; the center of attention. She slowly brought herself back up to stand. She glanced around her, at the horde of people staring at her and she ran.
Nelly didn't have the faintest idea of where to go, yet she continued to hurry through the capital. She looked behind her for a brief second and when she saw that no one was following her, she came to a complete stop to catch her breath. She suddenly felt a soft touch on her shoulder. Nelly jumped into the air and twirled around to see one of the Werebeasts standing there.
From her guess, he was some sort of feline, as she saw his pointed furry ears and cat-like tail. His hair was a deep orange-red, and his eyes were an emerald green. He carried a lute on his back and a simple, rusted sword around his waist. He looked at her curiously, his head leaning towards her for a moment, before he stood up-right and grinned widely. Nelly tilted her head.
"Um… May I help you…?" Nelly asked him, her voice quiet.
"I just wanted to see if you were alright," the Werebeast replied. His voice had a distinct accent, but Nelly could not place it.
"I am fine, thank you," Nelly told him.
"You don't remember me, do you?" the Werebeast laughed joyfully.
"Remember… you…?" Nelly spoke slowly, unable to comprehend what he was talking about.
"Yes! It's me, Cailou!" he said, still smiling.
Nelly turned to walk away, thinking it was a trap. "I'm sorry, but that name doesn't ring a bell."
"Illenia, don't turn away," Cailou said softly.
Nelly whirled around to look at him, her eyes widened with shock. "Did you just say… Illenia?"
"Yes I did," Cailou said. "Are you – "
Nelly cut him off with a wave of her hand. "No. But, I am her little sister. Well, half-sister. That's not the point, though. What do you want? You sure didn't follow me to check up on me!"
Cailou took a step backwards, noticing Nelly's sudden anger. "You're right, I saw that you looked like her and I followed you."
Nelly crossed her arms across her chest firmly. "There. You still didn't tell me what you wanted."
Cailou bowed his head. "S-sorry. When I thought you were her… I just wanted to catch up." He looked back up at Nelly, smiling again. "You… You would know where she is!"
Nelly shook her head. "How do I know you're not some perverted fool?"
Cailou hunched over. "I'm not… I knew her when she was a child… Please, tell me where she is."
Nelly's face suddenly lit up as he formed a plan in her mind as she glanced upon his sword. "I'll tell you, but you have to help me."
Raising an eyebrow, now it was Cailou's turn to cross his arms. "Help you, how?"
"Help me see Illenia."

Ive signed up to dine at Restaurant Bocuse at Auberge du Pont de Collonges, the trois etoilles (three Michelin star) birthplace of Nouvelle Cuisine. Jim, having lost his sense of smell and taste in one of his worst bike accidents (Would face plant into a mountain during the Senior Olympics then airlifted to a trauma center tell you something?), passes on the exorbitant extra expense. I, on the other hand, decide to splurge since we saved a lot of Euros opting for the practically below water
Trois Etoilles: Restaurant Bocuse
Day Five of our Provencal cycling trip dawns beautifully again finding us further down the Soane River Valley in Macon, halfway between Dijon and Lyon, where the richer Burgundy vineyards give way to the fresher taste of Beaujolais. Its pretty magical to sink, exhausted from the days ride, into our bunks aboard the ship and awaken down river docked in a new village. Today we climb above the valley to reach Julienas, a village as pretty as its name

Inventor's Digest reports this week on 10 year old north Florida foodball fan, Jack Templeton, who has created Jack's Rosters, a college football roster app.
The 99-cent app provides users with all 120 Division I college football team rosters and schedules, as well as 13,152 player profiles. Jack and his father, Tim Templeton, believe Jack's Rosters is the fastest and most user-friendly roster app on the market.
"My app is so easy to use and has so much cool information, every college football fan should download it," Jack told Inventor's Digest.
His whole family is getting in on the app development act, with his little brother and sister helping produce and count laminated rosters and his mom and dad helping with social marketing. Another Young Maker on his way…

Published March 1, 2007.
We carefully deconstructed this blue-ribbon recipe to create a light and lemony dessert.
Most versions of lemon layer cake are poorly executed concoctions of heavy cake stacked with filling and frosting that taste more like butter than lemon.
We wanted an old-fashioned cake in which tangy, creamy lemon filling divides layers of tender, delicate cake draped in sweet frosting—an ideal contrast of sweet and tart.
Most layer cakes are substantial butter cakes, but we suspected that the light, fresh flavor of lemon would be better served by something more ethereal. After trying a sponge cake and a classic yellow cake, we found that a white butter cake was the perfect compromise: a cake nicely flavored by butter yet light enough for our flavors, with a fine crumb and tender texture. Lemon layer cake is often filled with lemon-scented buttercream, but this filling can mute the lemon flavor and make the cake far too rich. We preferred the brightness of lemon curd, although it needed a little gelatin to be firm enough to spread over the cake. We also wanted something lighter than buttercream for our frosting, eventually landing on an old-fashioned classic: seven-minute icing. We needed to make some adjustments, as the traditional version was a little too sweet, slightly thick, and required holding a hand-held mixer for longer than was comfortable. We cut back on the sugar and added a squeeze of lemon juice to solve the first two problems. After some trial and error, we learned that if we heated the mixture to at least 160 degrees and then transferred it to the standing mixer for whipping (rather than holding a hand mixer for seven minutes), the end result was just as billowy and shiny as the old-fashioned version.

iam new to gimp, was wondering do i need a plug in to choose option for gimp to not keep saving in xcf file which is not recognized by image hosts like photobucket, imageshack. need to clear this issue up.
Sadly, that is no longer the case. At this time, GIMP only opens images as an import in its native format. It will only save images in that format as well. If you want the image in another format, you must export it each time you wish to save the file.
I recently built a new machine and thought I'd give GIMP (another) try. It is clear I should (still) be using something else.
Saving in jpeg or another format is still possible, its just been moved from the "Save As" option to "Export" which is a few options down from "Save As"...
Why was this done? Why go from a single click to save a change to multiple clicks and multiple windows to accomplish the same thing. Just doesn't make any sense.
I would like to know that too. The save dialog was nice and easy to use... now it forces me to use another dialog... awful! This is not an Adobe...
Go Open Source!
Apparently its a feature, there is along winded explanation that boils down to stopping us from accidently losing layers information by saving as jpeg we have to risk losing everything by remembering to export and then trying to remember if we've changed anthing post export. Frankly I'd rather lose a layer once and learn my lesson than this! Hopefully a few grams of common sense find their way into the development team and they fix this.
Sorry, feel the same - no feature - just awkward.
Did we not used to get warned about loss of layers etc? - seem to think we did.
Either way, a warning should have been the best option.
Just my 2$ worth.
That would be a pretty nonsensical response to that risk. If they really just want to keep people from losing layers when they save, why not a simple confirmation dialog box when you try to save a multi-layered image in a format that doesn't support it?
(it warns you about "flattening" your file).
I have agreed with your opinion as soon as "The feature" has been introduced with great pump.
This only proves that stupidity often wins in our world, because folks are supposed and conditioned to be stupid.
Why, in an open source software, prevent us against ourselves and think we ignore the difference between lossless ans lossy files, and will lose our layers when we want to keep them. So many commonsense solutions have been brought that I daren't repeat mine: call the "export" procedure instead of "save" without warnings when a non-xcf extension has been typed. It would be silently confessing that the "feature" was a major stupidity. (Stupidity + hypocrisy: a very contemporary alloy).
If it was not, why is Gimp the only graphic software with it? why did software editors always looking for new brilliant ideas did not imitate it? (The save/export difference is significant on text processors: if you "export" in PDF on LibreOffice, you'll not be really able to edit the exported document). It seems to be aimed to promote .xcf, though former developers were not keen on doing that, telling they could not commit to keep the format's compatibility from one Gimp version to another.
So "The Feature" + "The Major Revolutionary One Window Improvement" brought us the impossibility of closing Gimp and its contents in one click, which was possible in 2.6 by clicking the left window closing gadget.
I also love your comment, renopete. BTW, if .xcf is to be the XXIth century's image format, they should set it to .bz2 compressed variant which occupies half the size of .xcf. Once I suggested that the new Gimp geniuses could be funded by Adobe. But they also deserve some rewards from Maxtor...
I don't like to use the term "stupid" but that is the only way to describe the change from allowing knowledgeable users to change the default image save format, to what makes sense in their context, to restricting the save format to what some naive individual deemed to be the correct one. Yes there is a risk that someone will lose image layers that they did not realize, and just like a child touching a hot plate they will learn not to do that. Many users myself included use in Gimp in contexts in which xcf is inappropriate and useless. Making xcf the default image save format is fine for the reasons given, but taking away the option to change it is NOT and demonstrates pompous naivete. This type of myopic thinking is OK in places like Redmond, but it's an unwarranted annoyance foisted on an intelligent Gimp user base by someone who lacks maturity and insight. I hope that adult supervision will lead to the correction of this ERROR in an upcoming release.
I used to feel the same way many of you do, about six months ago when I first switched to 2.8, but I've gotten used to it now and it no longer bothers me. That said, I still export images to non-native formats without an xcf copy, I still accidently save images as xcf (and it still annoys me slightly), and I still export images over my source image accidentally, so there is effectively no change from when I was using version 2.6, except that I press a different (and adjacent on QWERTY) button to do it.
I have version 2.8.2 of GIMP and it refuses to recognise any graphic formats except for its XCF format. Totally useless as you can't export or import in any other format unlike previous versions
To make sure I hadn't missed anything I uninstalled and re-downloaded for my MAC OS-X 10.7.5 and reinstalled. No luck.
Just plain dumb!
[all fixed now - had to reset paths in preferences]
GIMP exports (note that this is different from save now) just fine for me, though.
I think non XCF file imports for jpeg, gif, png etc are broken.
I get a GIMP Message "The given filename does not have any known file extension. Please enter a known file extension or select a file format from the file format list." when I use the Export menu.
Then you should check if any plug-ins are loaded at all - the first thing I'd do is have a look at the preferences to see if the plug-on folders are set up correctly (i.e. there are any entries at all, that they point to the right location , ...).
I cant seem to find the correct place for plugins folder. Its either in Libraries/ Application Support/Gimp or UsersLibraries/ Application Support/Gimp. The various searches Ive had seem contradictory. Can anyone advise the correct location for OS-X 10.7.5?
There is a folder for standard plugins which is common to everyone using the compute, and should hold the plugins to load/save files, and there is one folder specific to each user for additional plugins.
I don't use OSX so I cannot tell the folders locations from memory, but you will find them as follows:
- "Edit/Preferences"
- At the bottom of the list expand the"Folders" tree
- Click "Plug-ins": this lists the folders Gimp checks for plugins.
- Check these folders with your file explorer, one of them should contain a bit over 200 executables including forty or so called file-something.
I went to preferences and reset all the paths which fixed the loading/ exporting of other file formats. I think what happened was a previous version of GIMP had some different paths which were retained. thanks for your help.
FYI I dont mind the "export" button. It actually makes sense to stay in the XCF format until you are ready to save in another format.
The folders are retained if you ever changed them manually - this adds them to your personal gimprc file.
The message about no known file extension is just telling you that you've either misspelled or forgotten to tell Gimp what format you want to save in. I simply type in the extension, the export boxes pop up automatically and no more than three strokes of my enter key I'm done. This stuff isn't hard to master. I'm sorry if I sound derisive I truly don't mean to be, but I've never even read the user manual, I experiment with the program constantly and in that way I gradually get better at using it and don't forget what I've learned as easily.
I will admit there are times when I'd like to be able to make the default save extension .jpg instead, so instead of accidentally saving as xcf and having to delete the file after re-saving whenever my fingers get faster than my brain.
I actually like Gimp's XCF format, it saves not only the image but the history layers paths and all, everything you've manipulated in an image is saved so you can stop work in the middle of something, go eat and come back later to finish without leaving it open.
I guess I do have one advantage over most though, I learned to use a computer before dos BECAME windows and I preferred dos. So remembering file extensions and the like is almost automatic for me. Dunno how else to put it...
Much respect...
I just 'upgraded' from a previous version and HATE this 'feature.' I can load a .png, make one pixel change and try to save it back out.... And, bang! I have to use EXPORT instead. I preferred the previous version where it would simply say 'Hey! Look! You're saving a file and have recently added layers and selections and stuff. Are you sure?' And, yes, I was. One click. Annoying, but one click. Now I have to go to export, select the right file type (if it isn't already selected), go to the usual 'EXPORT' dialog asking about compression and stuff (AAARGH! ALL THIS WAS ALREADY SET WHEN I LOADED THE FILE!) and then confirm that I want to write over the original (thankfully GIMP hasn't (so far) locked the original file). Then I have to close the file and confirm that I want to lose my changes.
I want: Load, change pixel, save. Move on.
Bye bye GIMP. I am looking for a replacement. The way it makes me feel finally lives up to it's name.
Every day I do a few screenshots as png, crop them, circle them, add a bit of text and then save. Hardly power use, but Gimp worked. Now with an upgrade to the latest GIMP its 3 levels of export menu, and overwrite confirmations galore. Why did they have to make a simple task so complicated.
I'm off to search for a new image manipulation program.
Pinta seems a good choice.

Fourth, a significant post-2014 military presence is needed to send a clear message to friends and enemies in the region that the United States and its allies are not abandoning Afghanistan. The Taliban will not have an incentive to enter meaningful peace talks if they see allied forces on the run. With the ANSF not yet ready to defend against a Taliban return, warlords and minority ethnic leaders would decide to take things on their own hands. Many local strongmen have already begun rearming their militias in preparation for a potential civil war.
The United States has two vital interests in the AfPak region: preventing al Qaeda and its affiliates from reconstituting in Afghanistan and ensuring that Pakistan's nuclear weapons do not fall into terrorists' hands. These two objectives cannot be guaranteed without a significant military presence in Afghanistan beyond 2014.

"This audio edition is abridged!"
As I listened to this book, I had the feeling that it was missing a lot of details, explanations, and Brysonisms though it was nonetheless enjoyable. At the very end, I realized that this is an abridged version due the the crediting of an abridgement editor (I hadn't noticed that the abridgement notice on audible). The audio recording is only about half the book. No wonder it seemed sketchy. From what I've read of the book, it seems much better. I hope that Bill or Random House will put out a recording of the whole book.
"One word after I finished, W O W!"
Excellent narrarating, not just a mono tone educational listening, but shows character and personality. Flows from one subject to the next on nearly everything smoothly. This is one you may want to burn, definately does have high replay value. I plan on listening to it again in a few months myself. If your religion is against science, and have a rough time with evolution, this may not be for you though. It gets all five stars from me, thoughly enjoyed it.
"Entertaining, educational, and fun"
What more can you ask for? From atoms to cosmology, we learn not only of why people think what they do, but also some of the characters who initially thought that way. I had no idea that Issac Newton was such an oddball; it certainly lets you know that nerds are not a new phenomena.
"Listen to this book with your kids!"
I admit I am a big Bryson fan, but this is his best book yet. I'll let others speak to content, but I wanted to urge parents to share this book with their kids. I read the unabridged hard copy, then downloaded the abridged version so I could share it with my daughters - ages 10, 16, and 18. We listened on a long road trip through Montana. If you can believe it, they all cried when it was over, touched by Bryson's poignant message at the end about our place in the universe and the attendant responsibility of being at the (current) pinnacle of evolution. When we got home, my two older daughters immediately went to the bookstore to purchase their own copies so they could read the entire book again. It's gotta be good when your teenagers can't put it down. And it has generated great family conversation about a wide variety of topics ever since. Listen to this book. It will make you a more interesting and interested person . . . .
"One of the best"
In short, simply fabulous. If this book in anyway piques your interest, then you definitely should select it. Never have I enjoyed a book on such weighty matters - it is concise, informative, thought provoking, while at all times witty!
"Really, outstanding, interesting, and hypnotizing"
First off, the narrator is perfect. *Perfect.* Just an outstanding voice, perfect pitch and inflection, and delivers the many wry, humorous lines with the dry tone only the English can truly manage.
Second, the book itself is fascinating. Even for people who don't like science, Bryson has written a beautiful guide that is interesting as much for the human characters as for the science itself. And the facts are presented so well, with so many good comparisons and easy-to-grasp metaphors that you'll find yourself interested, even if you think you hate science.
And last, this may be the perfect book for dropping off to sleep with. Bryson's transitions from topic to topic are clever and smooth, but it's not plot-driven; the book can really be listened to from any point, for any length of time. Missed 20 minutes because you fell asleep before your iPod sleep timer shut off? No big deal, you won't miss it. Catch it the next time around.
And you will listen to this book again. It's interesting enough and humorous enough that the parts you remember are worth hearing again, and there will be delightful surprises and laughs in those chunks you missed.
"A MUST for all who want an A+ Layman science boost"
Superb and clear, an eminantly readable history of man's developing scientific grasp of nearly every aspect of the collected knowledge of every decipline in the current critical areas of physical science.
It is both a linear history of mans discoveries, genious leaps, and inovations,as well as a concise explanation of the salient details of these discoveries.
It also renders a fine discussion of the varied aspects of our current understand and misunderstanding of the mysterious universe above, around, beneth, and within us.
"Bryson does it again!"
Bryson's done it again. His witty and informative travelogue series has provided hours of entertainment.
A Short History... is defintely a departure from his typical format and that had me a little curious about how he would address these issues. As a working scientist and academic I was quite pleased with his handling of the material. It's a nicely written history of science enlivened quite nicely, thank you very much, with Bill's typical flair for a fine phrase.
As another reviewer pointed out, Bryson is undoubtedly the best narrator for his own work. He is a prime example of a man who knows his own words and delivers them phenomenally well!
Get this book! You won't regret it.
"String theory and big bang for the comon man"
Between the library and the internet I listen to two to three books a week, and this has remained my number one recommendation since I heard it almost a year ago. Imagine, an explanation of the smallest known (or theorized) particles in the universe to the expanse of the universe itself. But most of all Bill Bryson makes it fun. If you enjoy knowing a little about everything but not too much about anything, if you're trivia fanatic, if you simply enjoy learning, this is a must. Perhaps the best compliment I can offer is the fact as soon as I finished "A Short History" I immediately began to search for other works by this author (and they're all good too).
"Highly Recommended"
This was one of the most enjoyable books I have ever 'read'. I am an avid reader of science and other non-fiction books and I would place this one at or very near the top. Rather than stopping short at explaining the scientific principles, experiments, discoverers, dates etc, Bryson repeatedly puts it all into context to illustrate what an amazing and impossible world we live in. I realize that this isn't by any means a new approach, but he manages to do it in a very entertaining and engaging way. His voice and delivery are perfect for the task -- so much so that I'm not sure if I even would have enjoyed the written text as much on its own. Many stories that I have heard a hundred times (like Einstein's writings on relativity) I became much more exciting as narrated by Bryson. He also covers topics that are rarely covered in other popular science books, and makes you wonder how such interesting topics could be so universally neglected. I can't recommend this book strongly enough. Though I would say that I found the first couple of chapters less interesting than the remainder.

Top Notch Company
1802224 Ontario inc O/A Relocation Services Canada
Not the cheapest company around but you get what you pay for. I hired Relocation Services Canada to move us from Georgetown to Calgary. I booked with Pat and he was my main contact throughout the move. I would like to give a special thanks to him for his patience and honesty. The move was flawless once the truck arrived. It came one day late but Pat did call and ask if it was possible to bump the day, I agreed as it really did not inconvenience me at all. The guys were fast and friendly. When the truck arrived in Calgary everything was still in one piece. No complaints, professional movers, I would recommend them.

Great Customer Service
Troy Transportation Moving and Storage
Hi everyone. Just wanted to drop a line and say thank you to the company. This is out 3rd move with them, and I am happy to report that this is an excellent service received yet again. I saw that there are a few bad reviews, but I know that the company relies on referals and return consumers. Unofrtunately I guess bad words speak louder than good one. But for what ever its worth, we are a real happy customer, who moved 3 times across Canada with them and will refer them. Yes there were a few dishes damaged but the company had rectified the situation with us in a fair manner. I am very satisfied with thier service.

My move was pretty okay
Canada Moving Company - Test
My moving experience was not bad, this wasn't the first time so it was pretty okay. The timing was perfect because they told us they would reach Saskatchewan and Regina City on Saturday evening, but in fact they did get their earlier so they didn't make us wait, the timing was perfect. Considering that we were traveling from the East end to the middle, the quotes were pretty okay, I won't say they were perfect, but it was okay. I would recommend them. I felt this company was much cheaper than others and they promised that they would deliver on time and they did.

What's New Career FAQs Forms Publications Accessibility Contact
Licensees and registrants who are not in compliance with the law could be assessed a monetary penalty. The primary purpose of monetary penalties is to act as a bridge between a simple warning and a suspension of a licence or registration, and to provide the AGCO with an added compliance tool for working with licensees and registrants before a significant suspension or revocation may be necessary.
Most infractions under the Liquor Licence Act or Gaming Control Act, 1992 will be included in the monetary penalties system; however, some serious infractions under the LLA will not be eligible. These include serving intoxicated patrons, serving to minors and permitting narcotics. In these cases, licensees will still only be subject to a suspension or revocation of their licence.
Potentially any AGCO licensee or registrant. As an alternative to suspensions or revocations, a licensee or registrant may be assessed a monetary penalty as a result of specific breaches of the LLA, GCA and their regulations. The amount of the monetary penalty will be based on approved Schedules, please see Liquor Licence Act Schedule of Penalties and Gaming Control Act, 1992 Schedule of Penalties (listed below in Q4).
Each type of infraction has a certain range of monetary penalties associated with it. The Registrar will impose an amount from within that range. For example, if the monetary penalty range for X is up to $1,000 then the Registrar can impose the monetary penalty of any amount up to $1,000 depending on the facts of the case.
Depending on the infraction, the following are some examples of the maximum penalties for each category of AGCO licensee/registrant:
It is important to note that what are listed in the schedules are maximums only and that most penalties assessed will actually fall lower in the potential range, based on individual circumstances.
Monetary penalties is not an 'on the spot´ ticket system, such as one would get for a traffic or parking violation. Instead, the process for assessing a monetary penalty is similar to the one used to make decisions about proposals to suspend or revoke a licence, and the information provided to the Registrar will flow through the same channels. This approach allows licensees and registrants the ability to provide input before monetary penalties are imposed. In many cases, a licensee or registrant will be given the opportunity to provide comments to the AGCO to discuss the specifics of the situation before any monetary penalties are imposed.
When deciding whether or not to impose a monetary penalty, the Registrar will look at each case individually and consider the following criteria when relevant:
Any licensee or registrant assessed a monetary penalty may ask for an appeal before the Licence Appeal Tribunal (LAT), which may uphold or set aside the monetary penalty for the infraction. However, if LAT upholds upholds the monetary penalty, it cannot adjust the actual amount of the penalty imposed by the Registrar.
Yes. No two situations are exactly the same, even for the same type of infraction. When assessing a monetary penalty, the Registrar will consider the particular circumstances on a case-by-case basis.
Yes. Remember that each infraction will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis and a graduated approach may be used for repeat infractions.
No. The primary goal of the introduction of monetary penalties is to help ensure future compliance. If a licensee or registrant incurs repeated or serious infractions, the Registrar will likely propose to suspend or, if warranted, revoke the licence or registration.
No. The AGCO is required to use all of the monies collected through monetary penalties exclusively for education and training programs for licensees, permit holders and registrants, as well as for public awareness. This should encourage a greater understanding of regulatory requirements by industry stakeholders, as well as the responsibilities of the public-at-large, and help to create an environment more conducive for regulatory compliance.

text: Water treatment services take place at a very large and small scale. On a larger scale, water treatment services involve filtering out unnecessary chemicals and toxins from a local area water supply. All major U.S. cities employ water treatment service plants to make water drinkable for residents. Many major water sources are rivers and streams that can get filled with pollution. This isn't the only health concern when it comes to water supplies, though. Literally tons of toxins can contaminate water, including dead animals, dirt, sewage, and a host of other unwanted materials. Water that travels a long distance from its source to its final destination risks increased contamination with every mile, so it's easy to see why water must be treated before it can be used for public consumption. Well water may have to be treated if the well becomes tainted in some way. Companies that bottle water for retail sale or delivery often use water treatment services to improve the quality of their products. There are different kinds of water treatment services. Your local treatment companies probably perform a variety of services for their clients. Water that is too acidic must undergo a neutralization process to remove the sour taste and whatever chemical that's causing it. Iron filtration removes sediment to improve taste and texture. Purification is usually performed for taste reasons, but also to remove potentially harmful chemicals such as sulfates. Local water treatment services often correct water pressure problems along with the other services they provide.
