Amalfitano has been a revelation for West Brom since his arrival on loan from Marseille on transfer deadline day, scoring one of the goals of the season in last weekend's shock win over Manchester United.
Barton played with Amalfitano while on loan at Marseille last season and he recommended the Frenchman to QPR boss Harry Redknappp.
"I am still in contact with some of my former team-mates," Barton told L'Equipe. "I speak to Morgan. I really tried to get him here. I spoke about him to the manager, to scouts, but here we don't know the French championship.
"I said to them: 'He is a good player - get him over here'. They told me: 'We don't even know who he is.'
"When he scored this weekend against Manchester United, I took the mickey out of them. I knew that in England he would do well."
HA what a load of old rubbish, That's why Newcastle sign many players from France? they don't know the French Championship do they durr, He scored against a rubbish Man Utd who have been in decline since the arrival of Davey Moyes.... if he scores 10 this season, he'll be a decent signing, if he doesn't then he'll be rubbish, 1 goal against Man Utd does not make him a superstar Joseph.- dannyjohnson

Discussing the most relevant factors in establishing liability as wrongfulness, causation, damage, fault and the area of strict liability the group is concentrating on the topic `causation' in this book trying to combine theoretical abstract analysis with the discussion of concrete cases.
Firstly, the authors give an overview of causation under their national legal systems, especially by working out its concept and its importance in establishing liability. Secondly, concrete cases are solved. The following comparative conclusions aim at the co-ordination of the results and the supplementation of other important factors.
In summary, the book tries to make clear which is the common ground of causation that underlies all the legal systems concerned with respect to the law of tort as well as to teach the academic and practitioner the fundamental questions of causation underlying the law of tort in a particular country.

January 14, 2007
Team Suzuki Press Office – January 14, 2007.
Ricky Carmichael raced to second place in Saturday night's AMA Supercross Championship second round in Phoenix, Arizona after an exciting battle with James Stewart.
The Makita Suzuki RM-Z450 rider was less than a second behind the Kawasaki man after 20 intense laps of the Chase Field Stadium that saw the duo lap all but four riders.
The Main Event was red flagged after a heavy crash by David Vuillemin, but on the restart, Carmichael shadowed Tim Ferry into the opening corner ahead of Stewart and then took the lead before the next turn.
Carmichael dominated for seven laps until Stewart cut through, the pair having opened up a 10 second gap on third-placed Chad Reed. They began lapping riders from there onwards, eventually putting more than 30 seconds between them and Reed at the flag.
Makita Suzuki's Ivan Tedesco – still recovering from a broken hand – was the final rider to be lapped, finishing with a hard-fought seventh position.
Said Carmichael: "I gave it 100% tonight but I got my butt kicked. James had some awesome lines tonight and it was really close. I'm real proud of my Makita Suzuki team which has been working really hard. They stepped up to it tonight and the Suzuki engine is superb."
Main Event: 1 James Stewart (Kawasaki), 2 Ricky Carmichael (Makita Suzuki), 3 Chad Reed (Yamaha), 4 Travis Preston (Honda), 5 Tim Ferry (Kawasaki), 6 Michael Byrne (Suzuki), 7 Ivan Tedesco (Makita Suzuki), 8 Kevin Windham (Honda), 9 Nick Wey (Honda), 10 Heath Voss (Honda).
AMA Supercross Points (after 2 rounds): 1 Stewart 50, 2 Carmichael 44, 3 Reed 40, 4 Preston 36, 5 Ferry 32, 6 Byrne 26, 7 Wey 26, 8 Windham 25, 9 Voss 24, 10 Tedesco 21.
World Supercross Points (after 4 rounds): 1 Stewart 92, 2 Carmichael 91, 3 Reed 85, 4 Ferry 66, 5 Preston 55, 6 Wey 54, 7 Vuillemin 53, 8 Voss 47, 9 Gibson 39, 10 Carpenter 38.

Flushing out pdflush
Posted Apr 5, 2009 11:56 UTC (Sun) by nix (subscriber, #2304) [Link]
A thread pool would surely be better (for something like this, anyway, in which the full complement will only be needed in extreme situations). There are several thread pools in the kernel (pdflush) or out-of-tree patches (fs-cache's slow-work threads) already. It's quite doable.
Posted Apr 5, 2009 14:27 UTC (Sun) by i3839 (guest, #31386) [Link]
A thread pool would only be better if you would otherwise allocate too many threads per device. But if you allocated too many, there's nothing that prevents having a too high number of threads in the pool either, so it's just shuffling the problem around.

It's mostly to satisfy the people getting annoyed when looking at the ps output. An idle kernel thread is essentially free. Of course if you have 10000 logical disks in your system, you'll probably appreciate not spending memory on the threads at least.
Posted Apr 17, 2009 22:29 UTC (Fri) by nix (subscriber, #2304) [Link]
(Also, kernel threads still need a kernel stack: that's 8Kb of memory you won't see again. Not much by modern standard perhaps...)
Posted Apr 17, 2009 23:43 UTC (Fri) by njs (guest, #40338) [Link]
But anyway, yeah, for ordinary systems the memory usage matters a little but not much.

I like the book. Just read it again a couple months ago.
Fox doing a "walking dead" rip off?
"I'm 6'7" and weigh 480 pounds" Beetlejuice
"NOT you FCCStandards....always liked your threads and posts!!!!"
North Tarrytown just doesn't have the same ring.
Disney nailed that one. The animated version. Scary as fuck when I was a kid.
Not bad, I'll watch next week.
series seems pretty good so far. reminds me of Grimm
ok, who writes "goo goo at a at a, fukin jew heeb"?
"fuckyoubigot i dont like you're sig" "repeated annoying comments"
The Lord is not my Shepherd for I am not a sheep.
Oh geez, I didn't know it was a TV series. How do you make a series from a short story, or is it not based on the Irving story?
Only time I watch t.v is from sept -feb. seeing previews on fox .. this show looks gay and faggot. Big fan of sleepy hollow but WTF
I liked it a lot. Mods pleeeze delete my abortion of a thread.
Pretty good for a network TV show...probably would have been even better if was on AMC, FX, HBO or Showtime.
Interesting take on the story, but the execution leaves a lot to be desired. I mean, what cop would cuff a suspected murderer with his hands in front and put him in the front seat of the cop car?
Uuughhh...allegedly...and things of that nature...
Judging from the preview it looks a lot better next week.
Dawgies! What mutts become when they finally wake up.
ok, who writes "goo goo at a at a, fukin jew heeb"?
"fuckyoubigot i dont like you're sig" "repeated annoying comments"
The Lord is not my Shepherd for I am not a sheep.
The Legend of Sleepy Hollow has always been a favorite that scared the shit out of me as a kid...but the Oompa Loompas used to scare me as well. They seemed so uncaring of horrors that befell the kids. I was also scared of the midget who drove the Oscar Meyer Wienerdog truck. When I see pictures of the guy that my parents took of the guy from that day, I still get the creeps
Hope it doesn't go all "Lost" on us.

Not a complaint but a request, can you make a exposure mode to have fixed f-stop when using Canon lenses with non-constant aperture?
Not a complaint but a request, can you make a exposure mode to have fixed f-stop when using Canon lenses with non-constant aperture?
+1 I would like to request the same as Kaku. RED, please make this possible!
everybody else if you have similar issues with your canon zooms, please support Kaku and I to be heard by RED technical support.
Carlos Florez
I think this should be coming in a next firmware upgrade. I don't consider this a complaint but a small heads up to add this for a future firmware. i don't have a non constant aperture zoom lens, but Kaku talked about one lens that I actually use in my Grand Prix coverage, which is the 28-300 L IS and that its causing him problems with auto "opening iris" when he zooms out. I don't see many other non constant aperture zoom lens from canon being used in the Epic to be honest, so maybe a fix for this particular lens would suffice? Like I said I haven't tried this but I trust Kaku and Carlos and according to them it doesn't stay in 5.6. So this post is in support of them both :) (and myself since there's a high probability I'll be using that lens come November).
Thank you both.
If possible, this sounds rather neccesary... :)
Thanks Gunleik.
+1, sounds like a feature that would be useful to have.
+1. Makes sense!
Thanks Jaakko and Chad.

Wembley still the target for Oxford United defender
10:00am Tuesday 8th October 2013 in Sport
THE prospect of a trip to Wembley has fired up Michael Raynes to help Oxford United start a run in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy against Portsmouth tonight, writes DAVID PRITCHARD.
The competition struggles to capture the imagination for many, but after receiving a bye in the first round, the U's are four games from the final.
Raynes (above) has never played at the national stadium, after coming agonisingly close in 2008, and the reward on offer gives added incentive.
He said: "There's not many games to have a chance of getting to Wembley.
"I've never been lucky enough to play there and I'd love to.
"I got injured in a play-off semi-final with Stockport so missed the final and in the back of my mind it's always there for me that I really want an opportunity to play there."
United are expected to shuffle their pack tonight, with several youngsters in line for a run-out.
Raynes felt it was down to the senior figures in the team to assist them.
He said: "Whoever gets the shirt has a chance to go and express themselves.
"If a couple of the younger lads play it's a big day out for them and we'll do all we can to support them as best we can."

Thank you again to those who donated during the October Membership Drive! We know all of you are eagerly awaiting your gifts in the mail, so we're bringing you a sneak peek into the swag shipment operation. After we receive all the donations, it takes several weeks to tally them up and determine how many of each t-shirt size and style we need to order. Once we have those tallies, we put in orders with the companies that produce all of the different gift items. These companies take about a month to produce the items, and then they mail them directly to the radio station. Finally, we have volunteers pack all of these items and mail them to listeners before the holiday season. This means we'll be getting your gifts to you before December 25th in most cases (convenient for last minute holiday presents!).
Members, we couldn't make it through the year without your support. Once you receive your gifts we hope you'll tweet, email, and Facebook pictures of you sporting your WPRB SWAG!

Fat Tuesday has arrived, and many across southeast Wisconsin are headed to their local bakeries for one last baked-good binge before Lent begins.
In Milwaukee, the Polish jelly-and-custard-filled doughnut called paczki (pronounced POONCH-key) is in high demand.
The Polish dessert has become a staple on Mardi Gras as a means of using extra dough before the fasting of Lent begins on Ash Wednesday.
In celebration of the holiday, many Polish and American bakeries across the state are providing their own spins on the paczki.
"This was originally a Polish neighborhood down here, and the tradition here is that it just keeps getting bigger and bigger each year," National Bakery co-owner Jeff Callen said.
National Bakery in Milwaukee has been preparing for this day with workers arriving at 6 p.m. Monday to begin baking their treats. Workers baked more than 25,000 paczkis in the first 12 hours alone.
"They started here about 4:30 this morning, and we opened at 6 a.m.," Callen said.
The bakery expected to sell more than 36,000 paczkis Tuesday, and nearly 50,000 total before Lent begins.
"I'm taking them all back to Fond du Lac, where I work, and I'm sharing them with all my coworkers," customer Debbie Barth said.
The bakery will have them until Saturday.

I made some basic adjustments in Lightroom and then opened the image as a smart object in Photoshop.
If I decide to make more changes in Lightroom how do I tell Photoshop to 'refresh' the underlying image?
After doing some research, it looks like linking images between Photoshop and Lightroom is mostly one way. Right clicking on a photo in Lightroom allows you to select Edit In > Photoshop. This action gives you a "live" update of your image in Lightroom as you edit the photo in Photoshop (after saving in Photoshop). See this article for reference.
But like Chris said, if you want to work in the opposite direction, you'll have to replace the photo layer in Photoshop if you make changes to the image in Lightroom.
Smart Object layers embedded object are copies not links they are independent from what they were created with. If you open a RAW file in Photoshop As a smart object layer that layer contains a copy of the RAW File and Associated Conversion Settings. As Chris wrote you can update an embedded object two way replace the object with and copy of the new conversion or editing the enbedded smart object and make the same changes you made to the original after you created the smart object layer.
I don't use LR however if you can open something like a developed image from LR into Photoshop as a smart object the smart object will a copy independent from that point on from what is was created with. If you change the smart object layer what it was created with will not change either. There isn't a singular entity... Your dealing with copies...... however a single smart object can be used in more then a single layer in a document. You can dupe a smart object layer two ways. One new smart object via copy creats a new independent smart object layer, where Dupe Layer just create a new smart object layer thhat shares a common smart object but has its own associated transform. There is a transform associated with smart object layers it may simply be 100% no resize or position change. With a sharded smart object it is easy to make a picture package themplate. Each time you replace the shared object you save or print a picture package.
The underlying image is a dng.
When I 'replace contents' in PS it opens the file in ACR with adjustments that do not match the adjustments I made in Lightroom.
It does not even have the correct ACR process (the exclamation point indicates it has an older process).
So, in effect, PS is not recognizing any changes LR made to the dng file.
Have you ensured that the adjustments made with Lr are actually being stored in the DNG file which is being read (via ACR) into Ps?
The default for Lr is to store adjustments in its catalog, not the actual DNG. That can be changed in Lr Catalog Settings. Alternatively, export the adjusted version to a file for Ps to import.
I should have said that an alternative to changing the Catalog Settings is to press Cmd (Ctrl on Win) S to manually save adjustments in the current file.
Also, you may find Ps CS5 to be adequate when using ACR purely as an import plug-in - just ignore the "Convert to Process 2010" button and click "OK". If your images look correct then you've avoided the cost of an upgrade to CS6.

Since the underlying file is a dng, when I 'replace contents' in photoshop, ACR pops up.
I never used ACR to adjust the file, I used Lightroom.
Do I just assume that the ACR settings are what I applied to the file in Lightroom?
LR and ACR store settings for the Adobe Conversion Engine in vasious places File MetaData, Sidecar files and ACR database to name some. If an embedded smart object is a RAW file the smart object has it set of Raw conversion setting. You can in Photoshop use menu Layers>Smart Objects>New Smart Object via Copy to create a independent new smart object layer. Once this is done in Photoshop if you double click on the copied layer leyer's smart object icon in the layers palette ACR will open on the new copy with its copied RAW Conversion settings. You can change the setting an have ACR update the copy's RAW settings. You will not have two different RAW conversions in Photoshop on layers you can blend together to bring out more detail. With Smart Objects you dealing with copies...

The Carolina Panthers turn 15 today.
It was on this date in 1993 that Jerry and Mark Richardson learned their bid for a Carolinas' NFL franchise was successful.
Within weeks, construction of their uptown Charlotte stadium commenced.
Less than two years later, they played their first game.
Today, at the halfway point of their 14th season, they're 5-2 and hosting the Arizona Cardinals (4-2) at Bank of America Stadium in search of the fourth playoff berth in franchise history.
"It's gone very quickly," Mark Richardson, the team president, said of the organization's first 15 years. "Some years go faster than others."
The Panthers have experienced extreme thrills, topped by a Super Bowl XXXVIII appearance, and disappointments, such as a 1-15 record in 2001.
"For me, the highs and lows are connected," said Jerry Richardson, the team owner and Mark's father. "It happens every week. When we win, it is wonderful to see the fans happy, and when we lose, you feel awful for all those who support the team."
The Panthers have played in three NFC Championship Games since debuting in 1995 – an accomplishment bested since then by only the Green Bay Packers and Philadelphia Eagles (four each).
In Charlotte and the Carolinas, the sports scene is radically different now than before the Panthers arrived.
Home games in the fall bring up to 70,000 spectators to uptown Charlotte, where fans over the years have been able to watch such visiting stars as Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smith, Brett Favre, Dan Marino, Steve Young, Jerry Rice, Deion Sanders, Tom Brady and Peyton Manning.
It all became possible on the evening of Oct. 26, 1993, in a Chicago hotel.
'Thank you, thank you, thank you'
A 61/2-year quest to land an NFL franchise – much longer than anyone expected – came down to one last sales pitch to league owners.
Jerry and Mark Richardson and marketing consultant Max Muhleman made their morning presentation to team owners and then were taken to a hotel suite to wait with future team president Mike McCormack for the remainder of the day.
Four other cities also were vying for one of the two expansion franchises to be awarded. Like the Panthers, the other prospective teams already had nicknames – the St. Louis Stallions, Jacksonville Jaguars, Memphis Hound Dogs and Baltimore Bombers.
"There was a lot of anxiety and excitement, and fear of the unknown – not knowing what's going to happen, not knowing if we were going to get picked," said Mark.
Finally, they were summoned and received the astounding news that NFL owners had voted unanimously to award the Carolinas a franchise and to delay awarding the second expansion team for another month.
Eventually, it went to Jacksonville. St. Louis and Baltimore later got franchises when existing teams (the Los Angeles Rams and Cleveland Browns, respectively) moved to their cities. Memphis still has no team.
At an evening news conference when then-NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue introduced Jerry Richardson as the league's newest owner, Richardson pointed to Carolinas television cameras and sent a "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" message back home to the fans who had supported the expansion bid by purchasing permanent seat licenses.
Current NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said Richardson's thanksgiving was his favorite memory of the night.
"I was impacted by Jerry doing that," said Goodell, who was assigned by Tagliabue to help lead the '93 expansion process. "I think it's reflective of Jerry's strong bond with the community. His reaction that day is something I'll always remember."
It was a rare burst of public excitement for Richardson, which delighted Muhleman, who had spent years urging Richardson to be more comfortable speaking to the media.
"That was probably the most spontaneous thing I've ever seen him do," said Muhleman.
Mark Richardson recalls thinking that while the long journey to get a franchise was finally over, the hard work of starting one from scratch loomed next.
"It was kind of like watching the dog chase the bus," said Richardson. "He's always chasing it and he never catches it. Well, that day we finally caught the bus. After that, it was like, `What do we do now?'"
Getting started
The Richardsons had known for years that they wanted to name their team the Panthers.
"We didn't do focus groups or public opinion," said Mark Richardson. "It was basically what we felt comfortable with."
Jerry Richardson hardly tried to hide the idea, driving a car starting in late 1989 with a license plate that read "PNTHRS."
"The advantage we had was most people, when they buy a sports team, they're buying somebody else's team," said Mark. "So you've bought a nickname, you've bought colors, you've bought somebody else's heritage and their history.
"The unique situation we had was we had a chance to do all that from the start. We had a chance to pick the colors, pick the name, design the uniform and write our own history."
When the team was announced, the logo and silver helmet design already were finalized, but work on selecting a uniform design was ongoing.
Originally, the Panthers unveiled uniforms with a darker shade of royal blue, including a combination of blue jerseys with black pants.
Eventually, the team settled on white, black and blue jerseys to be matched with white and silver pants.
Finding the right shade of bright blue – lighter than Duke's and darker than North Carolina's – was a tedious process, but the Panthers eventually settled on a color known as "process blue," which contrasts brilliantly with black, silver and white.
There have been only subtle uniform changes over the years. In 1996, cornerback Eric Davis convinced Mark Richardson to have players wear black socks with black jerseys, instead of blue socks with all of their uniform combinations. In 2003, defensive tackle Brentson Buckner successfully proposed to replace white shoes with black.
The latest lobbyist is receiver Steve Smith, who'd like to see the team wear black pants with their black jerseys at times.
Mark Richardson was noncommittal about whether that will ever happen.
"I never say never," he said.
Any such change would require NFL approval, which could take up to two years.
Ups and downs
Mark Richardson chuckles when he thinks back to the organization's state of readiness when they were awarded a team.
"We were probably young and naïve and we didn't know what we didn't know," he said. "Until you get into it, I don't think you truly understand it.
"You don't realize the impact (an NFL team) has on your community. You don't understand the depth of emotion that goes with the fans and the team. You don't realize how hard it is to win. You don't realize how difficult it is when you get to where you're winning, to continue winning. You don't realize when you're not winning how hard it is to get it turned around.
"My dad likes to say it's like holding Jell-O. When you hold Jell-O in your hands, you can't squeeze it. If you squeeze it, it runs between your fingers, through the cracks."
Buoyed by being able to sign higher quality free agents than previous new teams, the Panthers' 7-9 record in 1995 was the best ever by a first-year NFL expansion team.
Then Carolina went 12-4 in 1996, including being undefeated (8-0) at home, and reached the NFC Championship Game, losing to Green Bay, one game shy of the Super Bowl.
"We probably got a little bit of a false sense that it was easier than it really is," said Mark Richardson. "You (thought), 'Why does everybody say this is so hard?'
"But after 15 years, I think you realize it is hard."
The Panthers have had just three winning records in 13 seasons, but reached the NFC title games each of those three years and only twice have been worst than 7-9.
They've also been faced with tragedy and controversy.
Former first-round pick Rae Carruth was sentenced to more than 20 years in prison after being convicted of a first-degree conspiracy to commit murder charge for the killing of a young woman pregnant with his son.
Three starting offensive linemen from the 2003 Super Bowl team were later found to have obtained banned steroids and/or human growth hormone from a South Carolina doctor who eventually was sentenced to federal prison on related charges.
Former linebacker and assistant coach Sam Mills, one of the most beloved figures in franchise history, died of cancer in April 2005.
Through it all, the Panthers have steadfastly sought to bring in players who would be good citizens. When behavioral issues have arisen, they've not been reluctant to discipline players, and Jerry Richardson is well-known for one-on-one meetings at his home with players in trouble.
Setting a standard
Goodell considered the Panthers' anniversary so significant that he responded to the Observer's interview request and telephoned from London, where he was promoting today's New Orleans vs. San Diego game at Wembley Stadium.
Goodell said the Richardsons and the Panthers have been exemplary members of the NFL throughout their young history.
"It's a model franchise," said Goodell. "It's had tremendous success on the field with three NFC Championship Games and a Super Bowl appearance. But more than the actual wins, it's how they do it. The type of character and the way the team represents that community is something everyone in the Carolinas should be very proud of."
Jerry Richardson has become one of the most influential owners in the league. He has served on some of the NFL's most prestigious committees, including co-chairing the search for a new commissioner after Tagliabue announced his retirement.
Richardson is widely known for putting the league's interests first, an old-school approach that has earned him the trust of other owners.
"Jerry is just a model for leadership," said Goodell. "He realizes it's not just about winning, but about how you win."
After the Panthers were awarded their franchise in 1993, Richardson vowed the team would win a Super Bowl – even multiple Super Bowls – within their first 10 years.
Though they reached the championship game once, they're still awaiting their first title.
While that remains their primary goal, Mark Richardson said the Panthers also want to be more consistent. They've yet to have winning records in consecutive seasons.
He said the team doesn't take lightly the passion of its fan base and realizes that, especially in today's uncertain times, the Panthers can be a salve for a hurting community.
"This is a difficult time everyone is going through with the cost of food, the cost of gasoline, people looking at their retirements, and unemployment starting to go in a direction we haven't seen in a long time," he said.
"Winning on Sunday afternoon brings a very happy relief to what some people deal with Monday through Friday."
Today, especially, is worthy of celebration, said Muhleman.
"It's probably as special as any anniversary in sports that we'll ever have in this city," he said. "Super Bowl championships will be great, but there's nothing like birthing it."

Eventually, the stairwell lights came back on and the door to a nearby supermarket opened. She dashed through, passed a nearby loading dock and fled to safety.
"There was blood throughout the supermarket," Head said. "It wasn't clear if it was OK to exit."
Several Kenyan agencies made a plea for blood donations.
"Hospitals are appealing for more blood, the response is incredible but more is needed," tweeted Francis Kimemia, secretary to the Cabinet.
Foreigners among casualties
Most of the casualties are Kenyan, authorities said. But the mall is popular with expatriates and foreign nationals, who were among those killed and injured.
Those killed include three British citizens, two French nationals and two Canadians, including a diplomat, their governments said.
Several American citizens were among the wounded, including Elaine Dang, a University of California, Berkeley, graduate.
Dang worked as the general manager for Eat Out Kenya, which confirmed her injuries on its Twitter and Facebook pages.
A State Department spokeswoman said Sunday there were five Americans among the injured, but none among the dead.
"Obviously it's an enormous offense against everybody's sense of right and wrong," said Secretary of State John Kerry. "It represents the seriousness and the breadth of the challenge we face with ruthless and completely reckless terrorists, and we're going to pursue them."
The U.S. Embassy asked personnel to stay in place Sunday and avoid the Westgate Mall area and any large gatherings. All U.S. citizens in Kenya were urged to register online so the embassy can provide them with updated information on travel and security -- and can contact them in case of emergency.
Israel's Foreign Ministry said one national was slightly wounded and three escaped. A cafe at the mall is owned by an Israeli, but the ministry does not believe the mall was targeted because of that.
The Ghana president's office said literary figure Kofi Awoonor was among those killed in the attack.
"Such a sad twist of fate to place Prof at the wrong place at the wrong time," President John Mahama said in a statement.

By Nancy McCleary Staff writer
CLINTON - Three people are accused of operating a methamphetamine lab at a mobile home in the Bonnetsville community, according to the Sampson County Sheriff's Office.
The arrests were made after narcotics detectives and the State Bureau of Investigation executed a search warrant Tuesday at the residence on the 300 block of Quail Run Lane, Cpl. Marcus Smith said.
The residence was in a mobile home park off North Peavine Road.
A haz-mat team was called in to secure the scene so investigators could search, Smith said.
Rodney Dalton Lewis Jr., 52, and Jackie Naylor Lewis, 52, lived at the residence with a child, Smith said.
They are charged with one count each of maintaining a drug house, manufacturing methamphetamine and possession and distribution of a precursor chemical, Smith said.
The Lewises are also charged with misdemeanor violations of child abuse and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Elwin Glenn Jordan, 45, of the 600 block of Shipp Road in Clinton, tried to run from an officer, but was caught, Smith said.
Jordan was charged with possessing a methamphetamine precursor chemical, manufacturing methamphetamine, possession of methamphetamine, misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia and resisting an officer, Smith said.
Bail was set at $250,000 each.

I am dumbstruck!
I've scouered the Interest checks but did not find any MI RP anywhere, so here it is.
((Casual, High-Casual or Advanced depending on attending players))
First there were the books (And there are books to come) and recently a very popular film came out. The Mortal Instruments series with City of Bones as its first part.
Iv'e read the books and saw the movie, if you want to participate you need to have at least read the first book or saw the movie and understand everything.
This RP will play in an alternate universe to that of the books. this will mean everything stays the same but there will be no canon-characters.
for this RP we need.
An institute leader (hodge): reserved for the player who makes the best CS
Institute Shadowhunters (maryse/robert):
Institute teen Shadowhunters (Jace, Isabelle, Alec)(main focus):
Evil guy (Valentine): reserved for the player who makes the best CS
Rookie Shadowhunter (Clary): reserved for the player who makes the best CS
Involved people and downlings (Simon, luke, etc.):
Warlock (either good or evil):
(forgot something?)
I will make an OOC when I got at least four people who have shown interest.
please let me know if you're interested and what kind of RP you would like this to be.
plot ideas are welcome.
-Happy roleplaying!

Interview Details – I applied for a position at a store that was newly built. I orginally went with my sister and decided to apply myself. They had paper applications and they were set up at the Jameson Inn because the store was not yet suitable for people. It took them about 3 weeks to contact me because my number was wrong. They actually contacted me at the jobs I was employeed at and my manager told me they called. After I completed my first interview I had a second interview and I was offered a job. The pay was more than I expected but I still negotiated for a little bit more.

The second time they asked why do you want to work here and other basic questions. Although another candidate said during their second interview they were asked about the history of Home Depot. After the second interview I was asked to wait in the lobby again. I was offered a job that day before I left pending a background check and drug test.
Interview Question – All the questions were situation based; like describe a time you had to deal with a difficult customer and tell me a time you had a problem you had to use several steps to solve. Just make sure to fully elaborate and use the STAR method to answer the questions and you'll be fine. Answer Question

Average Interview
I applied online and the process took a day - interviewed at Home Depot in February 2013.
Interview Details –
This was for the call center in Kennesaw Ga.
The questions they ask based on situations. To begin I was first interviewed by 2 HR professionals. They asked their questions using a TASK or STAR approach. So take your time and really answer the questions with the most detail and literally tell them a story (Don't forget your eye contact!) I have a very bubbly personality and I honestly WANTED to work there.
The more you are engaged with the interviewers, the better your chances are. After the interview I shook hands and they asked me to wait out in the lobby. Next I was interviewed by another HR professional and she detailed what I would be doing and if I was okay with structure (coming from Walgreens it was refreshing I love the face to face, but it wasn't paying the bills lol). Then she asked for availability, etc. Again I shook hands with her and waited in the lobby again.
I was interviewed yet AGAIN by a third HR professional and was formally offered the position. I asked a couple more questions about the company and she ushered me in to fill out paperwork and get my drug test forms and the Background clearance forms.
Interview Question –
"Tell me a situation in which something was broken and what did you do to fix it without a supervisor"
"Tell me how you would handle conflict between your coworkers"
"Tell me how you handled a difficult customer, what did you do to resolve the problem"

I applied online and received a call two weeks later. However, this was during a hiring period and may not be the norm. I answered the normal basic interview questions and was passed on for a in-person interview. This was actually more of a skills analysis.

Overall, the company itself was ran rather well and efficient. The training consisted of several weeks.

text: Takahashi yes, but I'd say Abbott is a medal contender BEHIND Chan, Takahashi, Fernandez, Hanyu, and Kozuka. Fernandez and Hanyu because they have quads in SP and FS (Javi has 2 in FS), Takahashi because his PCS are even higher than Abbott's and seems a little more consistent with his jumps, and Kozuka because he has his World silver medal from last season to back him up. I would add Brezina to this group because he has 2 quads, but I'm unsure if he will be going for 4s in the SP and both in the FS, or just 3-3 in the SP and one quad (4s) in FS, his layout is always changing it seems, and also his PCS aren't as good as Abbott, he has also been inconsistent with jumps this season, and his scores haven't been stellar yet. But, he does always seem to do well at Worlds so who knows. Jeremy has a shot at a medal but it's a long shot IMO. Top 5 is more feasible but he'll have to skate well to even manage that.

With the cut of an enormous lei, Trader Joe's opened their doors in Utah. An impressive procession of shoppers were the first to be inside the new store. But getting to this point, took quite a bit of patience and work from many locals.
Deb Sussman was in line for hours, she told ABC4; "We have been waiting years and years to have a trader Joe's in Utah."
Deb has been a Trader Joe's lover for years. She has put a lot of time and work into getting trader Joe's in Utah.
Sussman said, "I have written over 50 letters to get them to come here."
Deb is definitely not alone, she was one of just hundreds in line this morning who have been waiting and hoping for today.
Jennifer Evenson was also in line, she said, "When I took a job here in Utah it was a major part of the con list, there was no Trader Joe's!"
Trader Joe's and their Salt Lake City crew as they call it are almost as excited to be here as the shoppers
Trader Joe Captain Rory Violette told ABC4, "It took us a long time to get here, but we are here."
Trader Joe's is located at 634 East 400 South in Downtown Salt Lake City. They are open every day from 8 a.m to 9 p.m
