Bryan gets three wins, Shelton receives four, Miranda Lambert and Taylor Swift collect two, and Florida Georgia Line bags the most prizes with a total of six.
Luke Bryan and Blake Shelton are big winners at the fourth annual American Country Awards. They bagged multiple prizes, including the top Artist of the Year for the former and the coveted Album of the Year for the latter, at the Tuesday, December 10 event hosted by Trace Adkins and Danica Patrick.
Bryan won Artist of the Year against Shelton, Jason Aldean, Florida Georgia Line and Taylor Swift. He beat Shelton and Aldean once again, besides toppling Kenny Chesney and Eric Church, in taking home the title of Male Artist of the Year. He also snatched Touring Artist of the Year prize.
Losing twice to Bryan, Shelton redeemed himself by collecting four gongs in other categories. In addition to winning Album of the Year for "Based on a True Story...", he took home Single of the Year by a Male Artist, Music Video of the Year, and Music Video of the Year by a Male Artist, all thanks to "Sure Be Cool If You Did".
His wife Miranda Lambert was not empty-handed as well. The Pistol Annies member managed to collect two awards. She won Female Artist of the Year against Swift, Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood and Sheryl Crow. Her single "Mama's Broken Heart" gave her second win for Single by a Female Artist.
Swift, who led the nomination pack, won at least two out of the eight categories she was nominated. Her collaboration with Tim McGraw and Keith Urban in "Highway Don't Care" earned her Single and Music Video by a Vocal Collaboration. She added another prize by receiving the title of Worldwide Artist.
Florida Georgia Line won New Artist of the Year, Single of the Year, Radio Track of the Year, and Music Video by a New Artist among others. Lady Antebellum bagged Duo or Group of the Year and Single by a Duo or Group. Other winners included Carrie Underwood, Brad Paisley and Lee Brice.

Learn how to find and manipulate text quickly and easily using regular expressions. Author Kevin Skoglund covers the basic syntax of regular expressions, shows how to create flexible matching patterns, and demonstrates how the regular expression engine parses text to find matches. The course also covers referring back to previous matches with backreferences and creating complex matching patterns with lookaround assertions, and explores the most common applications of regular expressions.
In this movie, we'll take a look at the history of regular expressions. Now the history is not merely academic; it's actually important in understanding some of the key points in how regular expressions work. I think the most surprising part of the history of regular expressions is they first got their start in the field of neuroscience, way back in the 1940s. In 1943, McCulloch and Pitts developed models describing how the human nervous system works, or how a machine or a computer could be built to act more like a human brain. In 1956, Stephen Kleene described these models with an algebra that he called regular sets, and he created a notation to express them called regular expressions.
That's where we get the name from; Stephen Kleene is the one who coined it. But at this point, regular expressions have still not entered the computer world; they are not part of the digital age yet. It's not until 1968 when Ken Thompson, an early computer pioneer and one of the key developers of UNIX implemented regular expressions inside an early UNIX text editor that he was building called ed. This is the point at which regular expressions entered the computer world, and it happens right there at the birth of UNIX. So the future of regular expressions and UNIX is very much tied together.
Now if you were a user of this text editor, ed, and you wanted to search the text for a regular expression, you would do it by typing a g and then a forward slash, and then the set of symbols that made up through regular expression for what you wanted to search for, and then at the end, another forward slash and a p. The g and the p were modifiers. The g was telling you to globally search for this expression, search everywhere, and p was to output the results to the screen, to print them. So we end up with a global regular expression print, or for short, grep. It becomes a verb.
In the UNIX world, you're able to say, I want to grep something and it means that you want to search it for a regular expression. grep became so popular that it actually became a stand-alone program so that you could grep things in the UNIX file system as well, and it became widely used in other UNIX programs. So it really kind of spreads its way throughout the UNIX ecosystem. Now in my course UNIX for Mac OS X Users, I describe in some detail how UNIX became very popular during the 1970s. The short version of that story is it was high quality software that was free.
Furthermore, these two factors made it very attractive to universities, and these universities then taught the next generation of computer stars using UNIX. So it helped to spread not only UNIX, but regular expressions as well. Now throughout the 1970s, UNIX spreads in popularity and it begins to evolve. At the same time, grep begins to evolve as well. Now there's a problem with evolving the regular expression language. We have a set of symbols that clearly define something that matches and doesn't match.
Well, if you start changing the syntax of those symbols, then we create issues of backwards compatibility. Imagine if you had a basic character that didn't have a special meaning in one version, but then in a future version suddenly now that character has some special meaning. Well, all those old regular expressions would break; they would no longer match or the old engines would no longer be able to process the new regular expressions. In addition to grep, one of the early changes is to introduce a new program called egrep or extended grep. You can actually get the same behavior of egrep inside grep by using the E option after grep.
So grep-e is essentially the same thing as egrep, and it's saying, use this new modified syntax. So we're going to now have two flavors. We have the old ones and we have the new ones. Now over time these regular expressions continue to spread. There are many programs, there are more programmers, there's more changes, so we ended up with a lot more incompatibilities. So in 1986, everyone sits down and comes up with a standard, which they call POSIX, Portable Operating System Interface--the X is just because it's in UNIX.
So POSIX is a standard that is designed to ensure compatibility between different operating systems. So the first thing that it does is it says, all right, there are going to be two different kinds of regular expressions. There's going to be BREs, which are basic regular expressions, and that's essentially what grep is, and then there's going to be EREs which are extended regular expressions, and that's what egrep is. So now all programs and programmers have to decide, are we going to try and implement them in the flavor of BREs or EREs? And it's a very clearly defined set of rules about what should match and what shouldn't match, what symbols should mean something in each one of these.
Now it's not expected that BREs and EREs ought to be interchangeable, but at least we have two clear paths forward. And BRE is really maintained for compatibility in old tools--it becomes mostly out of use--and EREs is what most modern tools are going to use. So this big effort to sort of standardize everything really does a lot of good and really gets everyone sort of all get on the same page about how regular expressions ought to work. Now at this exact same time, Henry Spencer writes a regex library that's written in the C programming language.
And what's great about the fact that it's a library is that can be incorporated into other programs, and so it provides consistency because then everyone who uses his library, their regular expressions all work the same way. So things at this point have become more consistent and the changes to regular expressions have really stabilized. In 1987, Larry Wall releases the Perl programming language. It uses Spencer's regex library, but over time, it adds many more powerful features. Perl's real mission was to try and be a programming language that was designed to be really useful, and so it added more powerful features to make it more useful.
And because of these powerful features, it really becomes the gold standard of the way that people want their regex libraries to work. Everybody out there writing other programming languages are saying, boy, I really wish mine works the way Perl did! So all of these features start to creep in. So we have Perl-compatible languages and programs that are out there. So Apache, C, C++, the .NET languages, Java, JavaScript, MySQL, PHP, Python, Ruby, all of those are endeavoring to be Perl-compatible languages and programs. There's also a library called the PCRE library that stands for Perl-Compatible Regular Expression library.
And just like Henry Spencer's library, it's a library that's supposed to add in all these extra features that Perl has. Now do you notice any similarity between Perl and most of those languages and programs that I've listed there? They're all tools that are used to build the Internet and websites. It was really the rise of the web that gave a big boost to the Perl implementation of regex, and that's where we get the modern syntax of regular expressions today; it really comes from Perl.

Comments Thread For: Canelo Says Alfredo Angulo Will Be Foe on March 8th
Dangerous junior middleweight contender Alfredo "Perro" Angulo will be the opponent of former champion Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (42-1-1, 30KOs) on March 8th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. The once-beaten Mexican superstar says Angulo will be the boxer in the other corner, as Canelo returns for the first since lose a twelve round majority decision to Floyd Mayweather Jr. in September of last year.

Props for taking on Angulo. He could potentially upset the apple cart. However, this needs to have one helluva undercard to sell it to fans.

Thats awesome, I look forward to this fight (and streaming it lol)
Angulo might be too much if he is motivated, which I am sure he will be. If Canelo gets past Angulo I will gain more respect for him.

This should be a good action fight. Excellent comeback fight for both men. This is no easy fight for Canelo. Angulo will force the action and he won't let up. If Angulo attacks the body, as one would expect, Canelo's stamina issues will definitely come into play. I expect Canelo to win the fight but he will be pushed to the limit.

Annika Sorenstam has been appointed vice captain for the 2013 European Solheim Cup team. Captain Liselotte Neumann announced the selection Tuesday at Colorado Golf Club, which will host the event next August. Carin Koch also was named a vice captain. Sorenstam filled a similar role in 2011 when the Europeans won the Cup in Ireland. She has played in the event eight times, accumulating 24 points in 37 matches. The former world No. 1 golfer retired in 2008. Sorenstam had quite a career as she won 90 tournaments, including 10 major championships. Sorenstam said she is elated at the chance to help Neumann, who was her role model as a young golfer. U.S. captain Meg Mallon announced in July that Dottie Pepper will be her vice captain.

Compared with our Premium Jasmine Dragon Pearls Green Tea, This Superfine Jasmine Dragon Pearls Green Tea is more deliciously sweet green tea. It combines the absolute highest quality green tea with a jasmine aroma and taste. Made from unopened bud and small leaf, this tea hand rolled into small balls, which slowly unfurl during brewing, releasing an amazing taste and aroma combination of green tea and sweet jasmine. Brewing a cup of this sweet, fragrant tea only requires a few tiny pearls!
Recommend Brewing Guide:
TeaVivre's Jasmine Dragon Pearl green tea is a completely handcrafted, superfine quality green tea, that is not only an absolutely fantastic drink, but also an elegant work of art to watch brew. When dry, this pearl shaped tea is olive coloured with obvious silver tips. Its production is a long, involved process. The tea buds and leaves are carefully picked in Spring, dried and then stored and kept cool until the jasmine flowers bloom. The night blooming jasmine flowers are picked early each morning while the petals are still closed. Kept cool during the day, in the early evening the flowers begin opening with a popping sound, indicating they are ready to be mixed in with the dried tea. After about 5 hours the flowers are removed and the tea carefully dried for 4 to 5 days. This scenting process is then repeated with fresh flowers a total of 7 times, in the end producing this amazing tea that takes over a month to make! 1 lb of finished Dragon Pearl tea will use about 4 lbs of jasmine flowers during this arduous process. The end result is an absolutely amazing tea, and one of TeaVivre's top sellers.
This Jasmine Dragon Pearl is a superfine green tea, and so gives you all the great health benefits of any green tea. Due to its extremely high content of antioxidants, green tea helps reduce the instance of some forms of cancer, helps lower the risk of heart attacks and coronary diseases and helps fights the affects of aging and pollution.
In addition it is also widely believed in China that the jasmine flowers themselves add some additional benefits, helping reduce depression and also helping with natural detoxification of the body.
For more information on the health benefits of Green teas, take a look at our article on Tea Health benefit.
Just like all green teas, Jasmine Dragon Peal should be brewed directly in a glass at 176 ºF (80 ºC) for 1 to 2 minutes, giving you a tea with a minty green colour. TeaVivre's Dragon Pearl can be infused 4 or 5 times, adding about 50% to the brewing time and using slightly hotter water for each infusion.
Be careful to avoid using boiling water, as this will cause the tea to take on a slightly astringent bitter taste, that will overwhelm the sweet taste and aroma of the jasmine.
For more information on some of the skills and arts of brewing tea, check out our article on How To Make Tea.
Lin Jian, who is born in Fuding, Fujian, has been living under the environment of teas. His father, grandfather and great-grandfather are all tea farmers. When he was in elementary school, he helped to pick the tea after school at the tea picking time when there's not enough people to pick the tea. The dream of engaging in tea business was came up at that time. He said: "My original idea is to make a good life for my family by tea business. But from 1993 when my tea business was gradually developed, I changed my mind. Fuding is the best place of planning white tea. So I want to create a long-term Organic Tea business." Through our contact with Mr Lin, we felt that he is a man of frankness, speaking quickly, walking quickly and working quickly.
Not exaggeratedly speaking, now Lin Jian is the first founder of Chinese white tea. He owns near 2800 acre high quality tea gardens in Fuding including 500 acre organic tea garden which is the only organic tea garden in Fujian that has passed the USA, Europe and Japan organic certification. He also owns 200 acre Jasmine tea garden in Guangxi. Meanwhile his heshan organic tea base was regards as the national agricultural standard base.
Like most of our premium teas, TeaVivre's Jasmine Dragon Pearl Green Tea is grown and produced in the Mt. Taimu area of Fujian province. The jasmine used in this tea is grown on a 200 acre plantation in Guangxi province.
This tropical mountainous coastal area is perfect for growing teas. The area has an abundant rainfall, with many misty days in spring, and temperatures that are neither too hot in summer nor too cold in winter. The mountains around the farms are more than 80% forested, ensuring the soil has a high natural fertility and organic content, removing the need to use fertilizers.

This is one of the best teas I've had. It's delicious and complex with a lovely aftertaste. I brewed it at 85 degrees for 3 minutes.
This is truly fantastic. When I made my last order, I looked at reviews for the best the company has to offer, and wasn't necessarily expecting a ton from this sample. I couldn't have been more wrong. It is so much more subtle than most jasmine teas, though I do like jasmine, and the tea itself is lightly sweet and fresh and green without being bitter at ALL or intense. Truly a balanced flavor, even with multiple steeps. I am amazed.
A very nice tea! In comparison with TeaVivre's Premium Jasmine Dragon Pearls, this one's fragrance is not so sweet but the fragrance is stronger. The taste is really mild and pleasing, mellow and very slightly fruity, 'melting-in-your-mouth' kind. No bitterness at all. I would recommend this tea to a friend and buy more. 93 or 94 points out of 100.
I could not be more satisfied or happy w/ the teas that I ordered. The free samples allowed me to also sample teas that I might otherwise never purchase. My only complaint was a strainer that I bought & could not figure out how to use. I read & listened to everything on your videos & the only conclusion I have came to is that it needs a certain cup that I do not have. The strainer either is too small or too large for the ones that I have.
Jasmine green tea is the first tea that I loved so much that I started brewing it at home regularly! This is the best of the best of any jasmine green tea I have ever had! It reminds me of smelling jasmine growing at my moms in the summer! And it's great with a little honey too! If you are a jasmine lover this tea will blow you away! Thanks Teavivre
This is it, the end of this tin. I am okay, though, because I had already ordered a large bag of Premium Jasmine Dragon Pearls so I was able to refill the tin as soon as it was empty. The first jasmine tea I ever tried was from another company and it was a bad experience. It was Teavivre that turned me into a jasmine lover. We squeezed all possible goodness from these last pearls. Hubby and I had a Gongfu session and I managed to use a liter of water on this teaspoon of pearls. The last steep had just the ghost of green tea remaining, with a whisper of jasmine, but somehow it retained the creaminess. Teavivre's jasmine teas are like a drug to me, so calming and so soothing. They make a happy place for you and then fluff the cushions when you get there. The tea base doesn't disappear under the weight of a heavy perfume, but the flavors instead co-exist in perfect balance. Even the economical Silver Jasmine Green, when paired with food, is excellent, though for drinking sans food I prefer the others. Still I can stretch my tea dollars with the Silver Jasmine Green. The only jasmine tea I have not tried from Teavivre is the jasmine raw puerh, and I hope to remedy that oversight soon. I think I HAVE to have one of the Teavivre Jasmine Dragon Pearl teas and Silver Needle Jasmine White on shelf at all times.
One of my new favorite teas! The jasmine scent is strong but it does not taste artificial at all. I can't wait to share this tea with my family!
Compared to "Premium Jasmine Dragon Pearls", these Superfine Jasmine Dragon Pearl are far more strongly scented with jasmine. I strongly recommend trying this for all jasmine lovers, especially if super strength is desired. Just note that if you add too much tea/jasmine (e.g. twice the ratio than suggested), you might get a brisk tea. Fortunately because tea leaves used are fine tea buds, the tea will not go bitter. This is a highlighting difference between excessive superfine jasmine pearls and jasmine Bi Luo Chun tea. Although both will have brisk profile, superfine jasmine pearls did not turn bitter. If you used less tea ratio than suggested (e.g. 2/3 of tea ratio), the tea is still strong in volatile jasmine but delicate in base thanks to the tea buds. Using the normal recommended ratio, I was able to steep 4 times well. (A more detailed review on the tea's profile is to come after I do more testing.) I give this tea 5 stars for its super jasmine strength (I'm very pleased) and flexibility to brewing adjustments (it's fun.). (Whether it's worth the higher price than Premium is to be determined after more testing/comparison.)
I love Jasmine tea, and this is one is the best I've had yet.
I got this free sample of tea as part of the sample pack. Though not normally a fan of jasmine scented tea, this tea was really beautiful and the balance of jasmine was just right. It had a freshness and sweetness which was incredible. I could easily envision myself drinking this tea from time to time, a high quality tea which speaks for itself.

Healthy Balance Between Brainpower and Happy Hour!
Here is where I am supposed to describe myself so total strangers can evaluate and judge me -- I can hardly contain myself. Sarcasm intended, and if it isn't obvious to whoever is reading this I suggest stopping now because you likely have the personality piece of driftwood. And that's being generous. I would like to think that I am not a very complicated person but after reflecting on what to write here I have discovered that I am train wreck. Damn these profiles! Instead of sitting here and writing a really long and boring story about my life I decided to just give you a bunch of random facts about me with a creative twist. Am I the only one that feels as though this is a job interview and I'm applying for a position that I'm under qualified to receive? That's sure as [expletive] not going to stop me from trying though. I think I just broke interview mistake number 1 by admitting I was less than qualified, but whatever. I think I broke about every single interview 'rule' to get the job I have now and it worked out well for me -- why stop now? Mission statement: I'm 'applying' to meet an attractive, fit, fun, and feisty female. If she is out of my league, I can deal. Hopefully she can too. Qualifications: Years of experience: 31 Occupation: Scientific Consultant in Biotech. Yes, I'm like, super smart... Cologne: Aqua de Gio or Sex Panther Achievements: -Parents love me but it's their daughters that are the issue -I can roll my tongue but can't cross my eyes but I wish it were the other way around. That's right. -I can hold my breath for 15 minutes. Special ability? I think yes. Don't get excited ladies, I'm of course being figurative. -I watch a movie before bed just about every night. I can nail just about any movie quote. Proving once and for all that I know everything about nothing. -One time I fell down a flight of stairs in the middle of a lecture center while coming in late to a class in college. People applauded my efforts. -Having a beer gut scare the living heck out of me (reasons unknown, yet obvious) and it is my life goal to never ever have one. -I'm fairly well traveled and I'm currently accepting offers for those ladies who would like to receive the 'companion pass' on my usual airline. I can only pick one winner and you are stuck with it for the entire year. Sorry returns are not accepted. Resume time is over because I'm bored of writing this now...In all seriousness I am a driven guy with lots of good things going on in his life. I have been told over and over that I am a keeper. While I am funny and kind of a smart ass I still have goals, which I have worked really hard to achieve and will continue to do so. I hope to find someone that I have chemistry with and that wants to share in my life or that wants to dress me up as a cop and have me "arrest her". (Either one works for me.)

Don't have the budget for a real stock screener?
Just sign up for a Google account.
If you do not already have a Google account, create one. If do already have an account, log into it and go to Google Finance.
You are going to see various cells here, which you can type into. These cells are a very important part of the process.
Something else that is very important is syntax. Google has a special language for this that you will need to be aware of, so keep this in mind.
To find stock prices, you need to type specific words into the cells that you will see on this page. Google has syntax rules that you will need to follow.
Use Google for help
You can visit Google Help for a full and lengthy list of all the different syntax – this is what you are going to want to type in to find the specific information that you are looking for. There is a simple version of how to use the syntax – this can help you form some basics.
You always enter Google Finance (together as one word) with an equal sign in front of it. You enter this before anything else, each time you want to find something.
After writing this you use parentheses – place them around everything else you write. Inside the parentheses are going to be quotation marks.
You can use this syntax to find the price change. Or, you can type something into a cell to find information about the history of the stocks.
You can gather data from various places and have it all in one place – your spreadsheet. Here is the function that you need to use in order to do this: =importData()
However, the parentheses in the above function are not to be kept empty. Inside the parentheses, and again inside quotations, you will need to place the URL that you are bringing into the spreadsheet.
Various types of files can be put into the spreadsheet. Once you use the function mentioned above, you will get results and certain information.
Learn more about spreadsheets
You will learn about the symbol, name, change, volume and more of the stock that you asked about by using the function. The information that you get will be provided to you in a specific order, so make sure you are aware of this as well.
On the Google Finance page, click on the portfolio link. After this you can download the spreadsheet into excel. You can still bring it back online if you would like to at any time.
In conclusion, creating an online screener certainly requires following direction, learning the language used to get the results, and some work.
However, it is definitely more than worth it in the end. There are so many great things that come with using the internet, and especially Google Spreadsheet, to create this.
There are benefits you just could never have if you tried to screen stocks in some other way.
With this online screener, you have a convenient way to find out about stocks – a way that is fast, simple (once you get it all set up), and all in one place for you to see anywhere in the world.

PHOENIX (AP) -- Candace Parker had 31 points and 11 rebounds to help the Los Angeles Sparks beat the Phoenix Mercury 82-73 on Saturday night, evening their WNBA Western Conference semifinal series. Nneka Ogwumike also had a double-double with 15 points and 11 rebounds, Lindsey Harding scored 13 points and Alana Beard added 12 for the Sparks. Two days after receiving the league's MVP award for the second time, Parker shot 13 for 24 from the field and 5 for 6 on free throws. Diana Taurasi, who scored 30 points in Phoenix's win in Los Angeles in Game 1 on Thursday, had 20 points while going 6 for 18 from the field. However, after trailing at halftime for the second straight game, the Mercury couldn't rally for the win this time. The Sparks led by as many 13 in the fourth quarter. The deciding game Game 3 will be Monday night in Los Angeles.

Give Me a Few More Decades
23 May 2015
Back when my grandmother and her siblings were still alive, my parents arranged a dinner for them. They sat next to each other and had over 240 years of memories to share. All they talked about, was the past, which makes sense. Having lived through a huge economic crisis and a World War, they had done their part. Soon, the world would go on without them and they were at peace with themselves. All that was left, was their long lives to reflect upon.


text: COVERLIGHT, the battery door we wish would have been out much Sooner Stormy Beach 7 December, 2012 4 Comments We have shared a number of Kickstarter projects and Indiegogo projects here on AndroidSPIN. Some of you have no doubt helped fund some projects or shared them with your friends to help them get the exposure they need to come to market. For that alone we personally thank you. We just received word of another project that is underway that deserves some attention. It is called Coverlight. It is a basic rear battery cover door for your device that adds in the a LED light to use as a flashlight or for taking photos in the dark. You simply remove the battery, place a copper connector where your battery connects to the device and stick the Coverlight battery cover on. That is all there is to it. On the back of the device you now have an LED light and a small button to press to turn it on. Now I won't lie, this has been created for a rather old device line. The Indiegogo project is targeting the first Samsung Galaxy S line of devices put to market. The Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000, Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9001, Samsung Vibrant Galaxy S SGH-T959 and Samsung Galaxy S 4G SGH-T959V. That does make it a bit harder of a sale, but doesn't detract from the product really. I know I still have and use my Samsung Vibrant quite often and this would be a great addition to my device to help keep it doing more longer. If they can hit their target goal, then they will look at creating new Coverlights for other devices. I can't think of any high-end devices that don't have a flash included now a days, but there are sure to be some prety popular mid-range devices that lack that simple functionality that some of us take for granted. Heck, I'd get one for my Galaxy S III if the Coverlight case had the LED at the opposite side of my current LED. Double the light and help kill shadows. I'd like to see these guys get off the ground, wouldn't you? Head over to their Indiegoog page and take a closer look at the design, the product and some other details. FILA Wont stand a chance in todays phone lineup BenR @Fila What are you talking about? Folks that still have a Galaxy S phone will love this and it's what it's made for .. it's not for phones THAT have a flash. lucian where can i buy that

In the world of Assistant Operations Managers, overall cash allowance can occasionally include more than $7K from bonuses and, in some exceptional cases, $6K from profit sharing, causing incomes to vary widely between $28K and $67K. Geographic location is the biggest factor affecting pay for this group, followed by tenure. Although a strong majority have medical coverage and the greater part have dental coverage, just under a fourth claim no health benefits at all. Women make up a slight majority of Assistant Operations Managers (51 percent) survey respondents. Job satisfaction is reported as high by the vast majority of workers. The figures in this rundown are based on the results of PayScale's salary questionnaire.

An assistant operations manager takes the place of the operations manager when necessary and are accountable for maintaining the correct operation of the business in the absence of the operations manager. They generally perform hands-on operations work and handle the administrative responsibilities of the business. They also try to improve the operations of the business by giving effective, actionable feedback to the operations manager. Assistant operations managers must be detail-oriented and stay on task, as well as efficient in scheduling and able to manage the operations manager's calendar of events.Read More...
An assistant operations manager generally needs a bachelor's degree or equivalent work history as an administrative assistant. They need strong organizational skills to maintain the operation manager's records and compile reports. Strong communication skills, on the phone and in person, are a must; they also must be able to effectively communicate orders from the operations manager to personnel. They also must be able to effectively train personnel, communicate with potential or existing clients, and make recommendations that increase business revenue when possible. Also communicating to new employees and properly training them is essential. Communication with upper management is also required.
Assistant Operations Managers seem to require a rather large skill set. Most notably, facility with Budget Management, Data Analysis, and Project Management are correlated to pay that is significantly above average, leading to increases of 29 percent, 20 percent, and 9 percent, respectively. Skills that seem to negatively impact pay include Accounting, Training, and People Management. Those familiar with Customer Service also tend to know Inventory Management.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
For Assistant Operations Managers, more experience in the field does not usually mean bigger paychecks. Survey participants with less than five years' experience pocket $38K on average, but those with five to 10 years of experience enjoy a much bigger median of $47K. For Assistant Operations Managers, 10 to 20 years of experience on the job amounts to an average salary of $50K. Assistant Operations Managers with more than 20 years of experience report incomes that are no higher than those with 10 to 20 years on the job.
San Francisco offers some of the highest pay in the country for Assistant Operations Managers, 27 percent above the national average. Assistant Operations Managers can also look forward to large paychecks in cities like San Antonio (+24 percent), Los Angeles (+24 percent), Denver (+23 percent), and Chicago (+22 percent). Trailing the national average by 12 percent, Nashville is the market with the smallest paychecks. A couple other locations with smaller-than-average paychecks include Phoenix (9 percent lower) and Philadelphia (6 percent lower).

45 year old woman | Bal Harbour, FL, USA | Seeking men 35-55 within 20 miles
Best time of my life and I'd like to share it with a special someone.
My friends describe me as laid-back and "Zen," balanced, educated, diplomatic, honest, insightful and quick-witted (I asked). I am very social and able to carry a conversation about almost any topic and with anyone. My greatest accomplishments and passions are: 1. My 12-year old daughter. She teaches me something new every day. 2.: Having survived as a Realtor in this economy - and still running strong. I love this job as it gives me the flexibility to still be a mom that is present, while exposing me to new people and situations every day. Born and educated in Europe and New York, I sometimes feel a bit like a fish out of water here in Miami, but I love the water and the beach and the warm weather. It has become home and I have made amazing friends whom I cherish enormously. My family is in Europe so my friends are my family here and I cherish them greatly. Being independent and "in charge of the remote control" can be quite nice, but always doing everything on your own, being the single gal at the party, and not having a partner in crime to consult with, is not the ideal either. I appreciate a man who is independent and has passions of his own, yet also understands what it is like to be a single, working mom and be there to give me hug when I need it. I like a man who enjoys spending an evening at home with a bottle of wine and a good meal, just as much as taking me for a night out. Whatever you give, you will get back in multiples. A man who is secure in his own skin and proud of his accomplishments, but not cocky and in need of constant ego-stroking. A man who knows what is happening in the world, who is outgoing, tolerant, patient, affectionate, not afraid of my pre-teen, adorable daughter :), and who stands tall.

GM Announces Its 30th Recall Of The Year Thus Far
Originally published on Wed May 21, 2014 11:15 am
General Motors' recall problems continue to mount. On Wednesday, the automaker announced it was recalling 218,000 additional vehicles from its Chevrolet Aveo line.
The daytime running light system in the dashboard of cars from the 2004 to 2008 model years can overheat, melt and cause fires, The Associated Press reports.
It's GM's 30th recall this year and follows Tuesday's recall of 2.42 million other vehicles.
"GM has recalled more cars this year than it has sold in several years combined," NPR's Renee Montagne said on Morning Edition, "and it's only May."
Actually, GM this month has recalled about 5.5 million cars and trucks. All told, the company has recalled 13.8 million vehicles since January at a total cost of $1.7 billion.
That's enough to wipe out much of the company's annual profits, according to The New York Times.
The recalls are an outgrowth of GM's stepped-up safety efforts — and increasing regulatory scrutiny — in light of its failure to report for years cars with faulty ignition switches that caused at least 12 deaths.
As we reported last week, the Transportation Department ordered GM to pay a record $35 million civil penalty for its handling of the recall of more than 2 million vehicles with ignition switch problems. The government said GM violated federal safety laws.

4.0 out of 5 stars "White Chalk" is PJ Harvey at her most haunting,
Amillionmiles (Hove, East Sussex) - See all my reviews
PJ Harvey has been creating music for some time now and consistently releasing new material every few years. Three years on from "Uh Huh Her", PJ brings us "White Chalk", her eighth studio album. It is quite different from her previous albums at it has minimal instrumentation, is much more piano and vocal led and is very haunting.
With its manic and repetitious piano rhythm, the opening song "The Devil" is aptly titled and has a sombre vocal which makes this song even more disturbing. The creative and melancholic "Dear Darkness" has a gentle Folk quality to it whilst "Grow Grow Grow" combines the overall feel of the two first tracks to create another haunting composition. "When Under Ether" is more constructed and mellow but still very dark. The title track "White Chalk" has a much stronger Country Folk influence than the other songs and is well crafted. "Broken Harp" is a quiet vocal track with a bittersweet melody. "Silence" has chaotic vocal harmonies which make PJ sound like a woman possessed, but they seem to add clarity to the melody and it ends up being by far my favorite song on here. "To Talk To You" is very eerily evocative with drawn out vocal phrasing and that crazed piano note serving as the songs only rhythm. The following song "The Piano" has very disturbing lyrics (the opening line is "Hit Her With A Hammer"!) and adds to the weirdness of this release. "Before Departure" is a peaceful and mellow song amidst the chaos and anger whilst the final song "The Mountain" takes us back to the ghost-like Goth inspired overall vibe of "White Chalk" with manic piano chords and deep vocal humming combined with witch-like screaming. What a way to end on album...
"White Chalk" takes PJ Harvey to another level of strange and disturbing. There are moments on this release that are truly poignant and enchanting, but there are moments that are quite worrying and too erratic for my liking. I have spent quite some time listening to this album and still cannot quite make my mind up whether it is another one of her masterpieces or whether it is too far out there - I guess that is what makes it so interesting in the first place.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Voice in the Dark,
The Wolf (uk) - See all my reviews
"A voice comes to one in the dark.
Samuel Beckett (Company 1980).
....and here we have the voice of Polly Harvey. Stripped Bare.
Like the old woman in the rocking chair in Beckett's 'Rockaby';
alone listening to the cracked sound of her own voice.
Memory. Longing. Loss. Hope. Futility.
This is indeed a dark place but a place without artifice. The intimacy
at times almost unbearable.
These 11 songs are an extraordinary addition to Ms Harvey's canon.
Compressed, fleeting evocations; almost suffocating at times in their intensity.
The mood of the album is sustained throughout without respite.
Simple piano/guitar accompaniment, supported by uncluttered additional
instrumentation and vocals. The production unintrusive.
'Dear Darkness', 'When Under the Ether', 'Silence', 'The Piano',
and the superlative 'The Mountain' just some of the highpoints
in a work of claustrophobic genius.
A highpoint in the career of this hugely talented woman.
A small masterpiece indeed.
"And how better in the end labour lost and silence.
And you as you always were.
Samuel Beckett (Company 1980).

5.0 out of 5 stars Will the real P.J. Harvey please stand up..........again,
G. Thomas (Canterbury UK) - See all my reviews
Finally, four albums later, I'm enthralled by the wonderous P.J. Harvey once more.
I thought her special brand of genius had been dulled but White Chalk is a return to total form and an utter joy.
Dry, Rid Of Me and Four-Track demos were three of my all time favourites but I haven't truly connected with anything of PJ's since then.
I'm not suggesting the last 4 albums were bad but, for me, they had lost the "edge" I really loved in her music.
Suddenly.....wallop....here is White Chalk. I first heard "When Under Ether" and "The Piano" on the radio without knowing who it was and fell in love with them almost immediately. Totally different and very much "out-there", this is quite a departure and all the better for it.
My joy is rekindled.
This album is exceptional.
I'm so very pleased :)

5.0 out of 5 stars PJ Harvey at her best, yet different from herself!,
Riccardo Finozzi "RickySaga" (Warwick, UK) - See all my reviews
With "White Chalk" PJ Harvey radically changes her style, turning to a quieter, more intimate atmosphere yet the power, the anguish and the intensity are still there with her talent. Songs like Grow Grow Grow and White Chalk itself are amongst her best ever.
5.0 out of 5 stars Not a dagger, but a rope,
Vargiu Riccardo James (Bologna, Italy) - See all my reviews
Upon listening to this album in 2007, when it first came out, I immediately realized that there was something special about it, and thought it would continue to speak to me year in and year out. Some time has elapsed, and I can say that my prediction has held true thus far. White Chalk is a jewel, one of those rare works of art that transcend genre and give voice to emotion with impeccable intellectual honesty.
PJ Harvey delivers a collection of eleven perfect tracks, which combine to form a moving, if mysterious, story of abandonment and sorrow, of gloom and doom. Whereas the overall narrative may be elusive -- it's hard to say whether the premise is the loss of a child and subsequent departure of a companion, the demise of one parent and folly of the other as witnessed by a young girl powerless to keep disaster at bay, betrayal and heartbreak, or none/all of the above -- one track passes the torch to the next, creating a seamless succession of scenes. These are without doubt pages ripped out of the same book, where cohesion and absolute integrity are used to good effect.
With commendable lyricism, mastery of the language worthy of the best poets, brevity both beautiful and intense, PJ Harvey depicts a journey not from here to there, but from one state of despair to another. Half ghost town in the West, half heath in Dorset, this is a lonely place, yet one many adults will inhabit sooner or later. The mood is dark, but also uniquely epic (not dissimilar to some passages of Britten's The Turn of the Screw, although the comparison may seem far-fetched to some). The instrumentation is not suggestive of any grandeur (or of any aspiration to grandeur, for that matter), but most certainly conveys a sense of solemnity and of ladylike dignity in the face of disaster that I would indeed term grand.
This work is not confrontational: even in the rare instances in which bleak composure is supplanted by loud despair, it is so obvious that no one (not even the moon) is there to listen to the heroine, that her cry never ceases to be inward. This album is not about the moment in which tragedy occurs, or is first discovered, either. It's about the aftermath of tragedy -- about its effects on this human soul.
In a manner of speaking, the heroine doesn't shout, but rather stares blankly: that's what makes her so scary, and so convincing. Pain takes on the guise of annihilation. It gnaws at her soul, draining it of any joy or willpower. It is cloaked in whispers and good manners, but ever present in the background. And internalized, silenced and bottled up, it seems somehow more permanent -- invincible even. While she soldiers on to a march-like rhythm on a few tracks, it would sometimes seem that her ultimate resolve is not to resolve this situation at all, but to let it swallow her whole. Any effort to the contrary is useless, and all former solace insignificant. Darkness is dear, invoked as the only possible remedy.
To be sure, there is a victim in this story, who comes to her death not by bludgeoning or by other unladylike blood-spilling. The weapon here is not a dagger, but a rope.
5.0 out of 5 stars it grows,
"I'm alone amongst my friends in that i really like PJ Harvey, and no-one else i know really does.. I thought Dry was great, Bring You My Love and Stories of the City were both excellent, and Uh Huh Her i'm still not sure about, but there are moments i really love. The others i havent heard. So i came to this unsure of what i was really letting myself in for, realising that she is capable of both amazing and not-so-great work.
"And at first, i really wasn't impressed, but after that first disappointing listen, i for some reason listened again, and again, and again... and i think it's possibly her best album. The sound is quieter and more minimal i suppose when placed amongst her other work, and it's not such an easy listen as say To Bring You My Love. But there is so much depth to the lyrics and sound, it's really one that grows on you. And i'd strongly recommend it, but not to my friends cause they're all stick in the muds...:)"
I wrote the above on 6th March, and have listened to it on and off over the last 3 months, and have now pushed it up from 4 to 5 stars because i really think it is a great album, one that will last like to bring you my love will, though i actually prefer this. I think it seemed a little impenetrable at first, hence my hesitations, but after listening to it a few times you really see how intimate the songs actually are. Like being in a relationship i suppose, most people from the outside won't have a clue about all the fuss you're making over this other person, but when you're there the reasons are clear.. if a little hard to describe.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hauntingly beautiful,
Mr Booja Booja (UK) - See all my reviews
Verified Purchase(What is this?)
As other reviewers have said, this is a melancholy affair from start to finish (although that description cetainly doesn't do it justice). It might take a few listens for you to get truly drawn into it but my experience was that it's heart wrenchingly delicate and wonderfully raw at the same time.
If you want to get an idea of what it sounds like before you buy, I'd say a cross between Philip Glass, the melancholic side of Grandaddy, the Pretenders, Lou Barlow, Ava Adore era Smashing Pumpkins and PJ Harvey of course. Actually now I've written that, the comparison seem silly - the album is so much more than that - but I'll leave it there in case it's helpful to anyone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ethereal in the truest sense,
C. O'Brien (Scotland, UK) - See all my reviews
Most of the reviews of this album - both amateur and pro - have tended to focus on the effect rather than the content of these songs. It's true that the shift to piano and away from guitar is a departure, and her switch to a more ethereal vocal style may come as a surprise.
Yet ethereal is precisely what this album is. "When Under Ether" seems to recall an abortion endured semi-conscious while a child's life slips away into nothingness; in other songs she yearns for the companionship of the dead or or begs something unseen for forgiveness. She has "blood on her hands": the white chalk of her native Dorset hills sticks to her shoes. She laments her loss and pain like a banshee or a tragic Hardy heroine.
The haunting subject matter may be oblique to some, though the strange and swirling melodies and almost choral purity of her voice may bewitch those who have not encountered Harvey's music before. As an exploration of a particular kind of female agony, this set of songs is almost without parallel.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic,
Spiralgoddess (Wiltshire) - See all my reviews
I have read a couple of reviews slating PJ for not doing exactly the same things as she has done before. They appear to have missed the point! This is exactly what makes her a true musician. This album explores a whole new side and it's excellent. If you want a band that just regurgitates, listen to the Pussycat Dolls *ughhh* can't believe I mentioned the unmentionable!
PJ's music is an holistic experience. If you don't like the music, listen to the lyrics but better still take the songs as a whole and you get the full picture.
In a nutshell - enjoy. I did!

Reactions to the surprise of PJ Harvey's eighth album seemed to fall into two camps: those who miss her 'classic' angry guitar-based sound and don't think that White Chalk represents the essence of what a P J Harvey album "should" be; and those who fell under its bleak, ethereal spell.
This time Harvey is seated at the piano and sings in fleeting songs (the whole album lasts less than 34 minutes) of loss, childhood, death, family and abortion, evoking a dusty atmosphere: "The devil wanders into my soul," she sings on the opener, and "Dear darkness, dear darkness, won't you cover, cover me - again?" on the next track. Broken Harp opens with a plea: "Please don't reproach me for how empty my life has become" while the title track sees her strolling in a desolate landscape, lonely and resigned: "Dorset's cliffs lead to the sea / Where I walked our unborn child in me". Families fall apart ("Daddy's in the corner, rattling his keys. Mummy's in the doorway trying to leave"); her dead grandmother is longingly apostrophed; and her mother is invoked to "teach me to grow".
Throughout Harvey sings in a higher register than usual, wailing and impaling herself in the highest reaches of her voice - childlike, fragile and introspective (an acquired taste it seems: some have hated her for this vocal change). The atmosphere feels naked and chilly, as if recorded in a dusty room lined with cobwebs and antique furniture, and recalls the ominous air of gothic novels like Emily Bront�'s Wuthering Heights (1847). Even the cover, on which Polly looks like a Victorian governess in her puffed white dress and restrained pose, seems eerily reminiscent of a painting of another gothic hero: Edvard Munch's Puberty (1895).
Although it clearly represents a radical change of direction for Harvey, it is not an album without apparent influences, bearing traces of Marissa Nadler's Songs III: Bird on the Water, Nick Cave's dark tales, Björk's Vespertine and the breathy, lethargic vocals of Hope Sandoval. But Harvey nevertheless weaves her own cloth out of the thread, creating something sombre and dirge-like in the process. In a recent interview she explained that "The white chalk of the West Country hills was not consciously my inspiration at all for this record. I just like the sound of the words 'white chalk'. It can be millions of years old but erased in a second, and somehow has a timeless quality. The timelessness became more the source of inspiration." (4.5 stars)
