This is a great product for straightening my hair, along with a blowdryer and a large round brush. I find it a little too heavy for my curly air-dry days; it gives my 2B/3A hair loose waves rather than springy curls, and needs to be paired with a silicone serum to tame frizzies.
I loved this stuff so much, I stole it from a friend, haha. I'm not really sure how to describe it. It was..different.
I use it to help smooth down my hairline. It's seems too greasy to try to distribute it all over. Besides, i don't need shine. I need moisture.
This is a shine product that was different from anything I've tried. Like the other products in the line, it's a groovy blue-green color. I'm still learning how to use it. Too much makes the hair greasy.
Ingredient Attributes: frizz control, anti-humectant, sun protectant

Giresse's contract is due to end on 31 May and he is unhappy the FMF want to make changes to his new deal.
The Federation are insisting it wants to 'validate' his squad lists and it wants control of the medical team.
"I asked for changes and they said no, these are points that are staying and I said if those remain, then I'm not renewing" Giresse told BBC Sport.
Mali, who finished third at the Africa Cup of Nations earlier this year in Equatorial Guinea and Gabon, begin their 2014 World Cup campaign away to Benin on 3 June.
"[The issue is] my independence - I was to be required that I give my list to the Federation for validation, and that I would no longer have authority over the medical staff, that was enough.
"I was quite surprised to see such a thing in the proposed contract.
"These things weren't in my first contract, and I was surprised after two convincing years [of performances] - the result at the Nations Cup demonstrates that."
The FMF vice-president Moussa Konate explained the changes the federation want to make.
"In his first contract, it was specified that he should submit the list of selected players to his employer, all we want to add now is the word 'validation'," he said.
"But he does not seem to agree with that.
"The second point regards the medical staff. We think that Mr Giresse is a coach, not a doctor. So we thought that we should choose the medical staff.
"We are going to do what we can to try to keep him. If it's not possible, we will find another solution for the national national team."
It is not the first time Giresse has fallen out with the FMF - he was unhappy when it sacked his assistant Cheick Diallo without his consent in the build up to the Nations Cup.

Images of the aftermath of superstorm Sandy clearly show the devastation it wrought, including at least 64 deaths and billions of dollars in damages throughout the East Coast.
These amazing before and after photographs help bear witness to the destructive force of the powerful wind gusts, torrential rains and massive storm surges.
The Battery Park underpass in New York City took on about 12 feet of water during the storm.

Virtue Center for Art and Technology is hosting an exciting opportunity for a high school or college student interested in marketing and the mechanics of non-profit fundraising. Our summer intern would primarily be charged with prospecting, or compiling lists of sales leads, using the internet as a research tool. The internship would be based at our office in Long Island City, just three stops away from Grand Central Station on the 7 train.
Reporting to the Director of Marketing and Communications, the intern would also be asked to actively participate in brainstorming sessions to identify new prospect groups, following up on their research independently.
Since our business model is geared towards the service of non-profits and other organizations, the intern would be tasked with developing an understanding of the needs and structure of these groups. The intern would use their own judgment to determine whether the prospects they have identified would benefit from any of Virtue Center's suite of solutions.
Should the intern demonstrate the aptitude, they may be charged with some level of customer support, most likely in the form of evaluating emails and communicating to our development and design teams what issues need to be followed up upon. Under the supervision of the director, the intern may be tasked with drafting polite and concise responses to client emails.
Virtue Center offers a causal but professional work environment where each department is valued as an integral part of a cohesive team. We feel strongly that learning does not stop at the door of the classroom, and each of us continues in our pursuit of knowledge in our daily lives. As such, we are seeking an intern who embodies those core values of team building, discipline, and a love of learning.
While this is an unpaid internship, it presents an unique opportunity for hands on exposure to a dynamic and creative business environment that would add significant value to students' resume or school applications. Upon completion, interns would receive a personal letter of evaluation offering a constructive critique of their performance, as well as a separate letter of recommendation.
Our hours are flexible but students would be asked to commit to a minimum of 20 hrs per week Monday through Friday at our offices in Long Island City, during the months of June, July, and August.
Interested in becoming the next marketing intern at Virtue Center? Please reply to Kate Maier, Director of Marketing and Communications, with a resume, brief biography, and an explanation of why you or someone you know would be a great fit for Virtue Center, at email@example.com.
We're looking forward to hearing from you!
The Virtue Center Team

Fabulous Adventures In Coding
Eric Lippert is a principal developer on the C# compiler team. Learn more about Eric.
The mutable List<T> class provides an in-place sort method which can take a comparison delegate. It's quite handy to be able to sort a list into order by being able to compare any two elements, but you have to make sure you get it right.
First off, what are the requirements of the comparison delegate? They are clearly documented: the comparison takes two elements and returns a 32 bit signed integer. If the first element is greater than the second then the integer is greater than zero. If the first element is less than the second then the integer is less than zero. If the first element is equal to the second then the integer is zero.
See if you can figure out why each of these comparisons can give bad results.
Comparison #1: Putting on my top hat:
enum Clothes{ Hat, Tie, Socks, Pocketwatch, Vest, Shirt, Shoes, Cufflinks, Gloves, Tailcoat, Underpants, Trousers}
static int Compare(Clothes x, Clothes y){ const int xGreater = 1; const int yGreater = -1; // If x has to go on after y then x is the greater // If y has to go on after x then y is the greater // Otherwise, they are equal switch (x) { case Clothes.Tie: if (y == Clothes.Shirt) return xGreater; break; case Clothes.Socks: if (y == Clothes.Shoes) return yGreater; break; case Clothes.Pocketwatch: if (y == Clothes.Shirt || y == Clothes.Vest) return xGreater; break; case Clothes.Vest: if (y == Clothes.Shirt) return xGreater; if (y == Clothes.Tailcoat || y == Clothes.Pocketwatch) return yGreater; break; case Clothes.Shirt: if (y == Clothes.Tie || y == Clothes.Pocketwatch || y == Clothes.Vest || y == Clothes.Cufflinks || y == Clothes.Tailcoat) return yGreater; break; case Clothes.Shoes: if (y == Clothes.Trousers || y == Clothes.Socks || y == Clothes.Underpants) return xGreater; break; case Clothes.Cufflinks: if (y == Clothes.Shirt) return xGreater; break; case Clothes.Tailcoat: if (y == Clothes.Vest || y == Clothes.Shirt) return xGreater; break; case Clothes.Underpants: if (y == Clothes.Trousers || y == Clothes.Shoes) return yGreater; break; case Clothes.Trousers: if (y == Clothes.Underpants) return xGreater; if (y == Clothes.Shoes) return yGreater; break; } return 0;}
OK, before you read on, can you figure out what the defect here is? It seems perfectly straightforward: if two things have to be ordered then they are ordered, and if not, then we say we don't care by setting them equal.
Does that work?
If you actually try it out on a real list of randomly ordered clothes, you'll find that much of the time this sorts the list into a senseless order, not into an order that preserves nice properties like shoes going on after trousers. Why?
An undocumented but extremely important assumption of the sorting algorithm is that the comparison function provides a consistent, total order. Part of providing a total order means that the comparison must preserve the invariant that things equal to the same are equal to each other. This idea that if you don't care about the order of two things then you can call them equal is simply false. In our example Tie is equal to Hat and Hat is equal to Shirt, and therefore the sort algorithm is justified in believing that Tie should be equal to Shirt, but it isn't.
Suppose, for example, the first element is "Hat". A sort algorithm is perfectly justified in scanning the entire list, determining that everything is equal to the first element, and concluding that therefore it must already be sorted. Clearly a list where every element is equal to the first element is sorted! The actual implementation of QuickSort in the BCL is quite complex and has several clever tricks in it that help optimize the algorithm for common cases, such as subsets of the list already being in sorted order. If the comparison is not consistent then it is easy to fool those heuristics into doing the wrong thing. And in fact, some sort algorithms will go into infinite loops or crash horribly if you give them an incomplete comparison function.
The right algorithm for sorting a set with a partial order is topological sort; use the right tool for the job.
Next time: we do the same thing, backwards
The $64K question here is why was this perfectly reasonable assumption not documented in the first place? I imagine many people might find words like "transitive" and "consistent total order" scary, but still.
Problem with the initial specification in comments:
// If x has to go on after y then x is the greater
// If y has to go on before x then y is the greater
They should both be "before" or "after", yes?
Sorting is Hard, let's go shopping.
The docs call out that it uses QuickSort.
wikipedia ( en.wikipedia.org/.../Quicksort ) helpfully identifies it as a comparison sort ( en.wikipedia.org/.../Comparison_sort )
"A comparison sort is a type of sorting algorithm that only reads the list elements through a single abstract comparison operation (often a "less than or equal to" operator) that determines which of two elements should occur first in the final sorted list. The only requirement is that the operator obey two of the properties of a total order:
1. if a ≤ b and b ≤ c then a ≤ c (transitivity)
2. for all a and b, either a ≤ b or b ≤ a (totalness or trichotomy).
If someone can't be bothered to understand even the most basics aspects of an algorithm before they use it I'm not overly forgiving.
Your point brings tough memories... I used stl sort algorithms I forgot for which version to sort doubles.
And some of the doubles where NaNs, default < was used for comparison and sure enough under some arrangement of doubles I would get sporadic data and sometimes access violation (lucky case)
In addition to the valid point that it should be safe to assume people using features like Sort() are in fact familiar with such a basic concept, there's also the fact that the comparison function above is just plain crazy even if it did happen to produce a valid order. It's a maintenance nightmare. Either the enum itself should be ordered according to what someone considers the correct sort order or (if the sort order is independent of the enum data structure) some mapping from enum to an ordered list should be declared. Either way, the comparison function should just be a simple comparison of two values, not this insane switch statement.
Sheesh. The scary thing is that if Eric is posting the code here, there's a pretty good chance something similar to this actually showed up "in the wild". Yikes!
Are there bonus points for guessing what's going to be wrong with the code in the next post before it's been posted, based on "Next time: we do the same thing, backwards"? Psychic deblogging?
So are we going to get to see your JS toposort ported to C#?
Gabe: replace "var" with "int", "for" with "foreach" and you are almost done with porting :)
This type of comparison function can also end up with stuff like a<b, b<c, and a=c. So a comes before b, b comes before c, but a and c are equal, so b comes before a.
... resulting in an infinite loop while the sort function tries to get a before b and b before a at the same time... fun fun fun.
"In our example Tie is equal to Hat and Hat is equal to Shirt, and therefore the sort algorithm is justified in believing that Tie should be equal to Shirt, but it isn't."
I love this analogy - the one tweak I would make is to use Trousers and Underpants as the two things that get mixed up, just because I like the idea of a guy getting into that position while already wearing a top hat.
I just wrote the following pex test for fun:
public static void Transitive(ClothSort.Clothes x, ClothSort.Clothes y, ClothSort.Clothes z)
PexAssume.IsTrue(ClothSort.Compare(x, y) <= 0);
PexAssume.IsTrue(ClothSort.Compare(y, z) <= 0);
PexAssert.IsTrue(ClothSort.Compare(x, z) <= 0);
It found 9 unique inputs which violate the transitivity law. example (tie, hat, shirt) are not transitive under equality. The other properties however hold:
public static void Reflexive(ClothSort.Clothes x)
Assert.IsTrue(ClothSort.Compare(x, x) == 0);
public static void Symmetric(ClothSort.Clothes x, ClothSort.Clothes y)
var cmp1 = ClothSort.Compare(x, y);
var cmp2 = ClothSort.Compare(y, x);
Assert.IsTrue(cmp1 == 0 && cmp2 == 0 || cmp1 < 0 && cmp2 > 0 || cmp1 > 0 && cmp2 < 0);
I love pex. It was so easy to test this comparison function. research.microsoft.com/.../downloads.aspx
Hi was curios about pex and how it works and for my surprise you can try it online, so I just copied pasted the code to the web but it find only one exception, did I do something wrong?
(I hope this permanent link works)
I find it peculiar that you have declared constants xGreater and yGreater. Using 1 and -1 would be better as it would be clearer what value you are returning.
One trap with such comparisons is that the comparison operators on floating-point types don't provide a total ordering. In particular NaN isn't equal to itself, and isn't either larger or smaller than any number.
And when abusing Sort as shuffle you need to make sure you generate the random number only once, and not on each comparison. The browser choice screen fell for this one.

Adjustment to inflammatory bowel disease – the relative influence of illness perceptions and coping.

Background: The Common Sense Model (CSM) of illness representations was used in the current study to examine the relative contribution of illness perceptions and coping strategies in explaining adjustment to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Methods: Participants were 80 adults consecutively attending an outpatients' clinic with a diagnosis of either Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis. Respondents completed and returned a questionnaire booklet that assessed illness perceptions, coping, and adjustment. Adjustment was measured from the perspectives of psychological distress, quality of life, and functional independence. Results: Illness perceptions (particularly perception of consequences of IBD) were uniformly the most consistent variables explaining adjustment to IBD. Coping did not significantly add to predicting adjustment once illness perceptions were controlled for and therefore did not mediate the relationship between illness perceptions and adjustment, as proposed in the CSM. Conclusions: The results suggest the importance of addressing illness perceptions in developing appropriate psychological interventions for IBD.

Keep America Beautiful and Dr Pepper Snapple Group Continue to Provide Grants to Increase Recycling in Public Parks
STAMFORD, Conn. (March 26, 2014) — Public parks will be getting cleaner in communities across the country thanks to a significant grant made possible by Dr Pepper Snapple Group (NYSE: DPS) in collaboration with Keep America Beautiful.
Twenty-six local and county governments in 19 states will receive durable, permanent recycling bins as part of the Dr Pepper Snapple Group /Keep America Beautiful Park Recycling Bin Grant program.
In total, the grants will provide nearly 900 recycling bins for placement in a variety of park settings. Twenty-two of the communities receiving grants intend to place bins at athletic fields; 18 will locate bins in small neighborhood parks; and seven will use them to collect recyclables from beaches and waterfront locations. Additional bins will be placed in state parks, larger urban parks, and walking trails and other natural settings. Eleven of the communities receiving bins are in coastal zones. For a full list of communities receiving grants, visit http://irecycleonthego.wordpress.com.
The 900 recycling bins to be placed through the DPS/KAB Recycling Bin Grant program this year add to the 710 bins provided in the inaugural year of the partnership in 2013.
"Individuals, businesses and governments all have a stake in cleaner communities and reducing waste," said Vicki Draughn, DPS vice president of corporate affairs. "Working with Keep America Beautiful, we're embracing the opportunity to make recycling more convenient for our valued consumers in communities across the country as they enjoy their favorite public parks and other outdoors spaces."
The grant program was open to all government agencies that own or manage local, regional or state parks. Nonprofit organizations and KAB affiliates were eligible to apply on behalf of government agencies. These grants will provide durable, permanent recycling bins for placement in a variety of park settings.
"Access and convenience are two of the biggest obstacles to recycling," said Brenda Pulley, senior vice president, recycling, Keep America Beautiful. "By making these recycling bins available in parks, nature trails, athletic fields and other public spaces, the bins awarded through our partnership with Dr Pepper Snapple will help these communities increase on-the-go recycling."
The KAB partnership is part of DPS's ongoing commitment to environmental sustainability. The company has set specific operational goals to improve efficiency in energy and water use, reduce manufacturing waste and conserve packaging resources by 2015.

It was suggested to start a new topic dedicated to vintage Kenmore machines, and it sounds like a WONDERFUL idea to me because I just adopted one and would LOVE as much info as possible.
Mine is a 1931, or 158-19310. Her name is Verina. I have the manual, a bunch of cams and NO straight stitch presser foot!
I spent close to 5 hours cleaning and oiling her today. I scrubbed her with a toothbrush and used Q-TIPS where the toothbrush didn't reach.
She is so QUIET and smooth now!
Her bobbin case was very very dirty, and has a rusty looking spot. I am wondering if I should get a new one?
I was originally told she was a well maintained machine, but after I got her from my step mom, she told me she NEVER cleaned her AND she had been sitting in the case unused for 25 YEARS!! She said she got her in 1975, but it appears that the machine was made in 1976, so I'd bet on step mom's memory being a year off.
There is a rusty spot I was not able to reach inside her. I used WD-40 Specialist sprayed onto the toothbrush to scrub EVERY part I could reach, after I let machine oil soak in. It worked very well to remove the rust I could reach (there were only a FEW rusty spots overall, and only one I couldn't reach). I also used a copper version of steel wool, that's all I had, to scrub the stubborn rust, and it really worked fantastic! I wiped everything down with a soft absorbent cotton diaper and re-oiled with machine oil as the final step.
What a TREMENDOUS difference! The tension and stitches are just fabulous. I am SO happy with her!
I am not having ANY luck finding the straight stitch foot. I REALLY need a good accurate 1/4" seam, and I'd have to sew with the fabric actually under the zig zag foot I do have, with the edge of the foot extending beyond the fabric, to achieve it. It will be tedious to maintain accuracy like that!
I have seen some adapters to be able to use the low shank feet with the super high shank feet, but they don't all look the same and I am not sure which to get!
I got a BUNCH of cams with her, and after looking at them carefully, realize I have quite a few duplicates. Not sure WHAT to do with them, so they are in a closet for now.
So, it seems like there are a few lovely old Kenmores around this board, and I don't have any desire to join a Yahoo group of cranky old machine owners, so let's talk about them here!
I have TONS of questions!
Should I get a replacement belt just in case? Verina's looks pretty much in perfect condition, but then again I have NO clue about availability and how long these things last.
How frequently, REALLY, should she be oiled?
WHAT should she be oiled with?
WHERE oh where can I find that foot I need?
What kind of adapter will work?
hi, I have a Kenmore,a few years older. I located a high shank adapter at SingerOnline.com,# PD 60666,(Super High Adapter to Low) $12.95. Ray, the owner, was very responsive to my emails & telephone call. Regular sewing machine oil is fine. I was told every
3-6 months one should clean & oil it but of course, it depends on your usage. The more frequent one uses the machine the less one needs to oil it. Have fun!
Nice timing. I just inherited my grandmother's 1950's - maybe 60 machine and cabinet. Do not have the details as to model etc...but will soon and a forum for Vintage Kenmore would be good. My singer is 1973 and still using it. Sewing granddaughter's clothes on same one I made her mommy's clothes (as I'm sure many of us do)....My Pfaff serger is 1997.....just try to keep them clean and oiled and a regular visit to the sewing doctor.... Please start forum...Thanks Sue
I have been told to use only machine oil as some of the others can cause them to stick up. I recently got a Kenmore 3/4 Rose machine in a case. It has roses embossed on case. It sews great and a beautiful machine. I don't think it was used a lots. As for feet you can google parts at Sears and find most of them, or at one time you could.
------sewing grammy
Would LOVE to see pictures of the Rose machine!
There is some stuff I read abut in a few posts here on PR, Tri flow I think it was. I need to find the posts so I can ask about it. Is that just a brand of oil?
And Sears no longer has many parts for this machine, unfortunately.
If the adapters really work, I'll just get one of those. Or maybe stepmom will find the foot! (Wishful thinking, I know)
i have a kenmore too. bought it off ebay and is a 1970's machine. very nice. it is my 'go to' machine even though i have a computerized pfaff. had a little kennie (rose cabinet) and gave it to my little sister when i 'graded up'. she doesn't sew very much but does use it occasionally. she and i are believers! you can go to sears.com and order some parts for kenmores on their site. yahoo has a site for kenmore groupies. good luck!
------be yourself; everyone else is already taken: oscar wilde
My mother who is 85 still has the Kenmore she bought from Sears around 1962. I don't know the model number, but it was the TOL then with all the cams. It hasn't been used in probably 20 or 30 years -- just sits in its cabinet.

"It is better to light a candle than curse the darkness." Eleanor Roosevelt
I have an old Kenmore that I bought in 1980. It was my first big purchase. It was their TOL in its day. I got it on clearance for about $250. It has cams. I used those alot when my kids were little for sewing little designs on their clothes. It has a buttonholer similar to the Greist and it makes the best buttonholes. I bought every foot that was sold for it except the ruffler and the walking foot. I regret not buying the walking foot. If I can find them, it is about $60. It is a super high bar so hard to find feet so glad I have them all. It doesn't like to sew knits. We have had many fights over knit material and I finally gave up. Maybe the walking foot would have been the answer. It will sew whatever woven material I can stuff under the feet. In fact, it loves a wad of denim and sews it like butter. I don't use it much but if I have a project with heavier material I will get it out. It takes regular sewing machine oil. I can take the top and bottom off to oil it; there must be about 20 places. If I get around to making a wool coat again, it will be used for the keyhole buttonholes. I love it and would never get rid of it ever.
So glad you started this thread. Can't wait to hear about some other old Kenmores!

Aroha Organics natural soaps and balms is a multi-national husband and wife team located in beautiful Hazelhurst, Wisconsin. Having lived in both New Zealand and America working on organic farms for the past four years we have had the opportunity to live our dream of a more sustainable lifestyle. One of our great experiences was learning how to make traditional soaps and balms. What started as a hobby making high quality moisturizing products for ourselves and friends turned into a desire to sell and to educate others about the benefits of using naturally made soaps and balms and buying hand made products.
Ahora Organics soap is made using a cold process, and the soap base is certified organic. Oils are added using a process called superfatting right before the soap is poured into the molds, which allows the oils to retain their original form for optimum moisturization. All ingredients are sustainably harvested, and Ahora Organics dreams of one day having their own CSA organic farm.

Alex Metric – Prophecies (Preview)
If you're not familiar with Alex Metric yet, it's time to catch up. He's the man behind 2011's summer festival anthem, 'Open Your Eyes', and has produced incredible remixes for dozens of artists. Alex Metric's style of dance music is both memorable and intelligent.
Recently, he premiered the first single off of the second part of his Ammunition EP on Zane Lowe's BBC Radio 1 program. The track, entitled 'Prophecies', was inspired by messing around with the Prophet One synth, which Metric recently added to his studio arsenal. He described the track as, "one idea done really well… still having the weight and the power, but being boiled down to the bare elements." After listening through a couple times, you can really hear the raw simplicity of the track. The cascading riff is repeated for almost the entire song, but small and precise details throughout reveal a much more complex interior.
'Propehcies' will be released on December 3rd via OWSLA along with the rest of the Ammunition Pt. 2 EP including 'Motion Study' featuring Oliver and remixes of 'Rave Weapon'.

ZIARAT: The construction and revamping of the residency of Quaid-e-Azam in its earlier shape has at last started here after three months since it was devastated in a terrorist attack, Geo News reported.
Quaid-e-Azam residency located in the beautiful valley of Ziarat in Balochistan was destroyed in a militants' attack on June 15 this year and the federal government had announced building up this national monument in its real shape within three months.
The government after making this announcement had slept over its pledge, which better late than never at last after three and a half months woke up, and the work on the project kicked off with the removal of the debris to finally enter into the construction and revamping phase. The provincial government has allocated a sum of Rs70 million for the project.
Ziarat Deputy Commissioner, Talha Hussain Faisal told Geo News that the masonry work would be completed before the snowfall season, while the wood work would be taken up later.
Sources said that the construction and revamping of the Quaid's residency expected to be completed by August 14.

US urged to extend Agoa trade programmeComment on this story
Elvina Nawaguna and Edith Honan Washington
African leaders urged the US on Monday to renew a trade benefits programme giving duty-free access to billions of dollars of African exports for 15 years, saying it would help cement trade relations and boost development in sub-Saharan Africa.
President Jacob Zuma, one of nearly 50 African leaders in Washington to attend a three-day summit, said the renewal of the African Growth and Opportunity Act (Agoa) when it expired next year was one of the key issues for the talks.
"Almost 95 percent of South African exports receive preferential treatment under Agoa," Zuma said at a US Chamber of Commerce event on Monday, joining calls made by the AU for a 15-year extension.
"We strongly believe that by endorsing the extension of Agoa, the US will be promoting African integration, industrialisation and infrastructure development – I'm sure the Americans would not want to lose this opportunity," he said.
The US administration is keen to renew the programme, but the duration and possible reforms such as adding new duty-free products, refining eligibility criteria and tweaking regional content limits are yet to be thrashed out.
Minister of Trade and Industry Rob Davies said that African nations had suggested widening the range of products covered to include more textiles and agricultural products, but he did not see the need for a major overhaul.
"Our message has been: 'we don't think the African Growth and Opportunity Act is broken and therefore there is no need to fix it'," Davies said.
Agoa, established in 2000, has already been renewed past its original 2008 expiry date and is now set to run until September 30 next year. Nearly 40 African countries are eligible to take part.
US-bound exports from sub-Saharan Africa – mainly oil – under Agoa and other trade preferences totalled $26.8 billion (R285.5bn) last year.
General Electric, for example, pledged $2bn in investments by 2018.
The US administration has already called for Congress to renew Agoa well ahead of its expiry date, albeit with reforms. – Reuters

Sunny Oglesby, 60, and Joycetine Godbolt, 54, were arrested early Thursday and charged with possessing and intending to deliver cocaine, possessing marijuana and heroin, and possessing and intending to use drug paraphernalia.
Oglesby and Godbolt were committed to Berks County Prison in lieu of $250,000 and $100,000 bail, respectively, following arraignment Thursday night before District Judge Ann L. Young in Reading Central Court.
According to investigators:
Criminal Investigator Darren C. Smith obtained a search warrant after receiving information as part of an ongoing investigation that crack cocaine was being sold from the second-floor apartment.
A detail consisting of members of the vice, criminal investigations and patrol divisions went to the apartment about 6:40 a.m. No one answered the door, so officers forced it open and found Godbolt and Oglesby near a bedroom.
Police found 20 packets of crack cocaine, three packets of heroin, a small bag of marijuana, equipment and supplies for packaging cocaine, a notebook ledger and $1,320.

Howling hounds disturb peace of Bodmin Moor visitors.
Posted: January 30, 2013|
HOWLING hounds on Bodmin Moor are disturbing the peace of holidaymakers, and local people fear action could now be taken to cut their numbers.
The North Cornwall Hunt has kept its foxhounds in kennels at St Breward for more than 100 years, but now the local authority has demanded action is taken over the noisy dogs.
A man who owns holiday accommodation in St Breward complained to Cornwall Council's environmental health department that the loud howling is disturbing the peace and tranquillity of the moorland village and the local authority dispatched officers to measure the decibel levels of the hounds.
The readings were above what was deemed acceptable and now the council has told the hunt something has to be done to curtail the noise the hounds make. But people living in St Breward are outraged, and fear the hunt will have to get rid of some of the 50-strong pack.
Cornwall Council says it has a duty to investigate "excessive'' noise and is in discussion with the hunt to try and come to an agreement to resolve the problem, with soundproofing the kennels one option being looked at.
Both the hunt and the complainant have gone to ground, and are refusing to discuss the issue, but in the village, a campaign is under way to save the hounds.
John and Kirstie Hewitt live next door to the kennels at Tor Down Quarry.
Mrs Hewitt is co-ordinating a local campaign to save the hounds.
She said: "John and I bought Tor Down Quarry two years ago, knowing full well the kennels were next door, and we have grown to love the sound of the hounds.
"I'm not particularly pro-hunt but I'm very upset at what is happening, and so are most of the people in the village – it's outrageous and we want the kennels to stay here in St Breward.
Her husband John said: "I'm a country boy and grew up with the hunt. They have been in St Breward for 110 years and are part of village life – you can set your clock by the times they start howling.
"I understand that either the kennels have to be sound-proofed or 20 of the hounds will have to go – just because there has been one complaint.''
Lady Fenella Barry also lives near to the kennels with her partner Tony Radcliffe.
She said: "We have no grounds for criticism of the North Cornwall Hunt kennels. We very rarely hear the hounds but when we do we just accept that it is an important part of the heritage of St Breward and its country ways. We wholeheartedly support the (hunt) master and his team.''
The issue will be discussed at a meeting of St Breward Parish Council on Tuesday night, and council chairman Denis Lusby is expecting a big turnout of villagers.
"I suspect a lot of people in the village have a lot of sympathy for the kennels as they have been in St Breward for more than a century, even though they may not be hunt supporters themselves, and we are expecting a lot of people to attend the meeting.''
North Cornwall Hunt chairman Mike Biddick refused to comment, as did the master of the hounds, Alan Murton.
A spokesman for Cornwall Council said: "The local authority has a duty to investigate complaints about excessive noise and the council's environmental health team is investigating a complaint of noise nuisance allegedly caused by barking hounds at the North Cornwall Hunt kennels.
"Council officers had a very productive meeting with representatives from the hunt kennels earlier this month, which was very useful in terms of identifying potential measures to reduce noise levels.
"The main outcome of the meeting was that the hunt will consider appointing an acoustic consultant to assess whether an acoustically treated kennel could be constructed to replace or upgrade the current one.''

Rauschenberger: First Quarter Taxable Sales and Purchases Show Growth is Continuing in 2014
BISMARCK, N.D. Tax Commissioner Ryan Rauschenberger announced today that North Dakota's economy grew at a healthy pace during the first quarter of 2014, which encompasses January, February, and March. According to the economic report, North Dakota's first quarter 2014 total taxable sales and purchases were $5.688 billion, up $239 million from the first quarter 2013, for a moderate increase of 4.4 percent.
"This is a very good report, highlighting the fact that North Dakota's economy continues to expand on top of the rapid pace of growth in the past several years," said Rauschenberger. "It is very good news, especially since these sales took place in the middle of a difficult winter in North Dakota."
The wholesale trade sector showed the most growth in taxable sales and purchases, with the total rising $176 million compared to the first quarter 2013. The retail trade sector, the sector most often looked to as a measure of consumer confidence, grew the second most in dollars, increasing by $40 million, nearly a 3 percent expansion. The accommodation and food services sector grew by $25 million, or 6.4 percent, due to a combination of winter tourism as well as the arrival of job seekers, potentially pursing jobs and housing in the state. In all, more than half eight out of fifteen industry sectors posted increases in the first quarter.
Of the sectors reporting declines, mining and oil extraction, down $29 million, was the sector with the most significant drop in taxable sales and purchases. The utilities sector decreased by $16 million, or 27 percent. The construction sector fell $11 million, a decrease of 7 percent.
"The mining and oil extraction sector has experienced explosive growth in recent quarters. This decrease reflects a continuation of the maturing of the Bakken Play, including the use of more efficient, less costly drilling methods. We are pleased to see moderating of the hectic pace of growth, to a level that is both more sustainable and more predictable," said Rauschenberger. "Similarly, the construction sector is showing moderation as well."
Of the 50 largest cities, the biggest percentage increases for the first quarter of 2014 were Kenmare, up 93 percent; Cando, up 46 percent; Watford City, up 32 percent; and Dickinson and Lincoln, both up 24 percent.
The biggest percentage first quarter decreases for the 50 largest cities were Northwood, down 31 percent; Grafton, down 29 percent; Lisbon, down 28 percent; Ellendale, down 20 percent; and Garrison, down 18 percent.

The city of Alamogordo has resumed pumping water from Bonito Lake after shutting it down last week because of the Little Bear fire, which has burned tens of thousands of acres in the Lincoln National Forest.
City officials said the maintainance compound, with all the equipment inside it, were destroyed along with a caretaker's residence, but the area immediately surrounding the lake had sustained minimal damage.
Utilities director Brian Cesar said city staff traveled to Bonito Lake on Monday to assess the condition of the lake and surrounding area.
He said on Wednesday that water was being pumped at 200 gallons per minute and expected that number to increase to 1,100 gallons per minute by the end of the week. The process of turning on the water began slowly to prevent surging and potential water line breaks, Cesar said.
"We have, as of today, begun the process of sending water to Alamogordo through this pipeline," he said, adding that the water runs through Nogal and Carrizozo before arriving Alamogordo.
Interim city manager Matt McNeile said in a previous story that the fire could impact the amount of sediments that enter Bonito Lake, which could affect the water quality delivered to the filtration plant.
He said Bonito Lake supplies about 13 percent of the 6 million gallons of water that is produced and consumed each day. City officials were planning another trip to the area Thursday, McNeile said.
Cesar said there have been several projects to thin the area surrounding the lake since the late 1990s and that may have saved the area from damage.
Cesar said the city was notified Friday evening to evacuate the campgrounds near the lake and, later, to remove employees from the area.
"At that time we did not know what the fire was going to do to the lake area, and what the suppression efforts were going to be -- the slurry bombers coming in -- or if they were going to hit one of the main sources of water for Alamogordo. So as the employees were leaving the area, we asked them to shut down the water supply."
He said water samples have been taken from the lake for analysis, and the city has been in contact with the New Mexico Environment Department.
Cesar said the city is concerned that the fire has stripped the surrounding watershed of vegetation and a heavy rain event could wash soot and ash into the lake.
If the lake is inundated with debris, the city might proceed with a plan to dredge the lake to bring it back to its original capacity, which it had planned to do in the next budget cycle, Cesar said.
He said the city plans to pull as much water from the lake as possible and place it in other reservoirs, including ones near La Luz and Holloman Air Force Base, in an effort to save water from potential contamination.
"In the event that we do get a lot of runoff into the lake that degrades the water quality, we'll have pulled as much as we can possibly use out by that time," Cesar said.
According to the U.S. Forest Service, the Little Bear fire started June 4 after a lightning strike and has burned about 37,520 acres as of Wednesday evening. Firefighters have it about 35 percent contained and it has destroyed 234 structures.
N.M. Highway 532 (Ski Run Road) at mile marker 3, east and west; N.M. Highway 48 from Ruidoso to mile Marker 15, north and south; N.M. Highway 37 from mile marker 0 to mile marker 8, north and south all remained closed Wednesday.

I love the idea of making sausage, and riding the ATVs sound fun!
Please welcome the lovely Georgia Pellegrini for a guest post! Georgia has been over here before, but if you'd like a refresher you can read all about her and her book Girl Hunter right over here.
Take it away Georgia…(don't forget to check out the fun jewelry giveaway at the end).
Recently I have been thinking a lot about my close girlfriends and how important those relationships are to me. When I look back over the years I realize I met so many of them during those unforgettable bonding experiences that life brings your way.
There is a lot that I love about the Adventure Getaways that I've been doing over the last two years, but my hands down favorite thing is watching women come together from across the country, meet each other for the first time and leave at the end of the experience as lifelong friends.
Since I hosted my first Adventure Getaway a year and half ago, I have been amazed to see how many different types of women have had a desire to come on these adventure trips with me, to experience life more viscerally and challenge themselves to experience new things.
There is something about these Getaways, every single time I say to myself, "wow, I couldn't have hand picked a better group of women to come together as total strangers and bond as if they had known each other for years."
I feel very lucky to witness and take part in this sort of togetherness and am grateful to have met so many wonderful people along the way and to share all kinds of adventures, laughter, and good food with them. I've made friends for life.
The inaugural event happened with a few of my favorite food bloggers on the planet.
Since those first successful trips, I have expanded the adventures in weird and wonderful ways, and these are some of the highlights I thought I'd share.
One of my favorite parts of the weekend is the girl bonding by the fire pit. There are lots and lots of s'mores. Some women even bring their own retractable s'mores sticks, they mean business.
There are really cozy accommodations, sometimes we even each have our own little house with a wood burning fireplace. Other times, it is a log cabin with mountain views.
And my personal favorite are the many types of bubble baths. A woman needs that after a long day of adventure.
I also love the food we have had on our menus, from elk, to venison, to frogs legs, oh my! Plus the delicious berry mousses and beignets smothered in ice cream. Sometimes we even have special Bourbon Dinners with live entertainment.
Since I am a chef by trade, I'm all about the learning. We have cooking classes galore. Ever wanted to know how to clean and butcher a bird properly? No problem. How about some amazing Texas shaped cookies? We've got you covered.
On special occasions, we even have guest teachers who teach us to make amazing cookies and cake pops.
Then there is the adventure. We ladies get together on ATVs and drive 10,000 feet into the Montana mountains.
Or walk in the snowy hills and hunt wild birds, wild hogs, deer and the likes, many of the ladies do this for the very first time with professional guides and beautiful bird dogs along with them.
Sometimes you'll even find yourself hunting with men in kilts (see above, yikes!).
We fly fish and listen to the meditative sounds of the rivers rushing around our ankles while we wear our waterproof waders.
There are plenty of ranger rides… and clay shooting too, another first for many people.
And of course there are presents, because what's a party without them?!
Once a year, I host one co-ed couples event. As I like to say: The couple that prays and makes venison sausage together, stays together.
And the best part of all…
…is all of that girl bonding that happens. We all make friends forever, support each other to roll up our sleeves and step outside our comfort zones… we all have a desire to experience life more viscerally.
To surprise ourselves!
And give each other hugs.
And now if that weren't plenty, this summer, by popular demand, I began hosting private customized Adventure Getaways, my favorite of which is for bachelorette groups!
I've become familiar enough with the amazing venues around the country, that I can customize experiences each with their own unique attributes so that no one trip is ever the same.
Here is my full Adventure Getaways Calendar to date. We have some exciting media joining us in Montana in late September and can't wait to meet the great ladies that attend. (there are a few spots left!)
As a special something for the Katie's readers, we're offering a 3rd night stay free for those who sign up with a friend for Montana.
And of course, if you want to drop someone a hint for a future date, there are gift certificates too.
And as an extra treat today I'm giving away a piece of my favorite upcycled jewelry from one of the Adventure Getaway sponsors "Sure Shot," who fills our gift bags with the most beautiful jewelry made from upcycled shotgun shells.
Upcycled jewelry from one of the Adventure Getaway sponsors "Sure Shot."
Giveaway Requirements:
Oh my, I have to choose just one thing. I have been stalking the Adventure Girl Getaways for many months, I have shared links with my mom and my husband, to give them gift ideas for me. I just love anything outdoors and being active, I love to learn new stuff. So I am up for anything, especially anything with animals. The challenge would be the cleaning/gutting/etc of animals/fish.
Hunting! I'm such a hypocrite as I LOVE meat, but can't stand the thought of hunting. I would challenge myself to see the entire cycle of hunting. From life to death, to sustain our life. To realize the animal didn't die for sport, but food.
I would challenge myself to do anything outside of my comfort zone. I think that would mean anything that seems even a little dangerous.
I would challenge myself to bungee jump. I have always wanted to do it. That and jump out of a perfectly flying plane.
I would challenge myself to go hunting and hiking. I love to be outdoors, but these two things I have never done and I would love to do!
I would challenge myself to go hunting/fishing. I've gone along for the ride more than once, but I've never participated.

A Thursday hearing for Ray Nutting was taken off the court calendar and now awaits reassignment.
Nutting was due to be arraigned by Judge Warren Stracener on Thursday morning, but the hearing was taken off the court calendar by Presiding Judge Suzanne Kingsbury, a court bailiff said Thursday morning. The case awaits reassignment by Kingsbury, possibly to a new courtroom. The case had originally been reassigned to Stracener's courtroom after Judge Daniel B. Proud recused himself on Monday; it was reassigned by Assistant Presiding Judge James Wagoner as Kingsbury could not be reached at the time.
The supervisor is accused of filing false documents, perjury by failing to report income, not recusing himself from voting when he had a conflict of interest and receiving loans from other county employees or those contracted by the county.
Documents filed with the county Department of Agriculture and with Cal Fire could point to guilt, county Auditor-Controller Joe Harn said.
A May 26, 2009 invoice to, from and signed by Nutting for more than $27,000 was "bogus," Harn said. On a Prop. 40 invoice for a Cal Fire Grant to the Sierra Coordinated resources Management Council, of the nearly $30,000 the project was said to cost, the listed amount for his own labor was $0.
The same invoice also has "Follow up herbicides" on April 15, 2009, the cutoff date for having work completed in order to qualify for the grant, as stated in an amended agreement. But, in a report made to the Agriculture Department, the herbicide spraying was not done until May 26, 27 and 28 — with a map showing the same area sprayed as the area to be covered for the grant. Nutting also obtained a burn permit to burn piles meant to be burned by April 15 for between May 8 and 15.
"I'd be surprised if this wasn't found to be a false claim," Harn said of the Prop. 40 grant invoice. "It looks to me to be a false claim."
On the matter of the illegal loans for his bail, Chuck Holland — the only person Nutting is not alleged to have actually received a loan from — told the supervisor that he could not give him a loan, as he had a contract with the county.
However, as a bail bondsman, he could legally give him bail — which, with a retained attorney, would be 8 percent of the total bail, or about $4,200, Holland said. This money would be non-refundable. But, Nutting wanted to pay cash, rather than going through a bail bondsman, as the money could be refunded, but had to be paid in full. He noted that Nutting was in a hurry to obtain the cash; he was to be arrested that day.
As of Thursday at noon, Kingsbury had not yet reassigned the case.
