Bride's call: 'It was a Hispanic man and a Caucasian woman'
On Thursday, Jennifer Wilbanks was sentenced to two years of probation, 120 hours of community service and ordered to pay $2,550 restitution for her actions as the now-notorious "runaway bride." The sentence comes after Wilbanks' disappearance in April, days before she was to wed John Mason. She was charged with, and pleaded no contest to, a felony count of making false statements. The charge stems from a call Wilbanks made to her fiance's home in Duluth in which she spoke to Mason, her stepfather Roger Parrish and Duluth Police Chief Randy Belcher. The following is a portion of a transcript of that call:

Amy Brenneman Lends Voice to Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis PSA
Acclaimed Actress Amy Brenneman may play a silenced police chief's wife in her new role on"The Leftovers,"but shegenerously lends her voice to help raise awareness forCrohn's disease andulcerative colitis in a newly refreshed public service awareness campaign.
The campaign features Brenneman, who has suffered from ulcerative colitis, and is now a proud supporter of the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation of America (CCFA). The goal of campaign is two-fold: 1. To highlight the prevalence of these diseases and 2. To reinforce the seriousness of these diseases. Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis are chronic diseases that affect nearly 1 in 200 Americans. The physical and emotional toll they take on patients is significant.
"I know firsthand how devastating these diseases can be," Amy Brenneman said. "So, when CCFA asked me to help I was more than happy to get involved. If my support can help even one person, I'd be happy."
Many patients suffer in silence from inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), and with Ms. Brenneman's support, hopefully that will change. IBD are painful, medically incurable diseases that attack the digestive system. Symptoms may include abdominal pain, persistent diarrhea, bleeding, fever, severe fatigue and weight loss. Many patients require numerous hospitalizations and surgery. The fastest growing patient population is children under the age of 18.
"By puttingthis issue front and center, we want to engage people, raise awareness, and demonstrate our commitment and compassion to finding cures and improving the lives of our patients," said Richard J. Geswell, President and CEOof the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation of America."We know these diseases extend far beyond the bathroom, but it's a compelling way to get the conversation started."
For the second year in a row, CCFA Enlisted the pro-bono help of the global advertising agency, FCB Health. In addition to the :30-second and :60-second TV spots, the campaign consists of radio, print, out-of-home and digital assets.
The campaign utilizes the bathroom for a simple reason it's easy to recognize. And empathize. The campaign is about helping people understand how difficult it is to live with IBD, while reminding people that have IBD that there's no reason to hide a normal daily activity. The campaign is designed to raise awareness to help those in need by visualizing the constant disruption of IBD. Showing different feet under the doors of bathroom stalls is meant to highlight the growing rate of IBD, not explain all the symptoms. CCFA is also leveraging social media, asking patients to share their stories online using #IBDselfie to #HelpSomeoneYouKnow.
"We had so many great insights to work with. Evolving a campaign that resonates and motivated people is tricky you want to improve everything without touching the DNA of what made the concept work in the first place," said Mike Devin, Executive Vice President, Creative Director.

Annie Sloan Graphite to the rescue! It's the perfect near-black and it gave me the old-school, industrial look I was after.
It tones down the orangey-brown of the counters and floors.
And I love how it grounds everything, and warms the space.I've used Annie Sloan on many different items including our main entry door and many chairs that get a lot of love. It wears beautifully every time. However, I had not used it in an area that I'd have to wipe down or would get wet often so I had some concerns. It has met every expectation that I had! I gave it two coats of Graphite and waxed it twice. I wipe it down nearly everyday and the cabinets near the sink are often dripped on. It wears beautifully.
Usually l lightly distress the edges of my furniture, but with the cabinets having a white base I didn't want to see the white under the black so I left these un-distressed (if that's a thing). I worried that the edges would wear and look distressed eventually on their own being such a hard working, busy space. But they have held up with all our farm dirt, four kids and a great dane. There is one spot that my dear son tried to clean up after he smeared the door fronts and trim with mud. It was the day after I painted them and the wax and paint were not cured fully so he wiped away a bit of the paint on the trim edges. He did a great job distressing the area for me, but I'll likely touch it up cause I really don't want to see those white edges. All and all I would recommend Annie Sloan chalk paint for kitchen cabinets. And it works great in a non-distressed application!
We added a few details like the bin pulls for the drawers and black knobs, and the trim around the base of the cabinets. I wanted the cabinets to have a built in furniture feeling and cover the icky plastic trim that was currently under the cabinets. It's a nice detail that elevates them a bit but still lets me keep the authenticity of the original cabinets.
You can see the new trim above prior to painting it graphite. For a few days I did trip up a little bit having the full trim around the sink base cabinet which eliminated the toe kick. But like all things I got used to it and just love having this finished furniture-like detail on my cabinets.
I can hardly remember how the kitchen looked before and all the little things we did that added up to big changes! The biggest impact was moving the fridge into the pantry and painting the kitchen all-over white. The flow and sight lines are much more pleasing, everything looks bigger, and the space just works now!
Below, the fridge in the original location, all white and sticking out into the room. We couldn't open the freezer drawer while loading/unloading the dishwasher nor could anyone walk into or out of the room at the time.
And the after picture below with the fridge tucked away into the re-built pantry. Some notes on painting the refrigerator with chalk board paint. I did not prime my refrigerator and the chalk board paint did not effect the magnetic properties of the refrigerator. I lightly sanded it with a fine sandpaper and wiped it down good with a spray de-greaser. I used two cans of spray chalkboard paint from the hardware section of the grocery store--because that's what I had on hand and I'm impatient. When motivation strikes I just don't want to make the 40 minute round trip drive into town to buy a can of paint.
I taped every bit of area that I didn't want to paint but still got a little over spray on some inside portions of the fridge because the doors didn't close completely with all the taping off I did. There was also some over-spay into the room in general and floors. Most everything was covered in a fine dust of black. Yikes. It was a dry dust, however and cleaned off easily with a damp cloth. Whew! The spray did give me a supper nice smooth finish and I'd spray it again just to get such a nice finish, maybe with some more drop cloths though or ideally outside.
I have plans for a kitchen island and maybe to move those cabinets over the sink up to the ceiling so I can add a small shelf under it and open things ups over the sink. Possibly we'll tackle the space over the oven and add a custom vent hood make of reclaimed wood from the barn. And replace that drafty sliding glass door. But really, I can live happily here for quite some time just as it is!

Marketing Student-Athlete at UNCO|Career focus in Advertising|Interested in Video prodution
Advertising is forever changing. I have been intrigued with how advertisers continue attract consumers to their products, by adapting to new generational changes. I believe advertising is an important part of humanity because it shapes how our society functions. Advertising shapes how we view products and the social symbolism that we attach with certain products.
Creating and editing videos has been a hobby of mine. I enjoy the creativity and the infinite amount of possibilities that come along with creating your own video. This explains my interest in video production. Some day I aspire to be a movie trailor editor, but for now, advertising has my heart.

Five years ago this month, Tony Granato was one of the San Jose Sharks' veterans, joining a contingent of players and members of the organization at Clement Park, across the street from Columbine High School in suburban Denver.
The first-round series between the Sharks and the Colorado Avalanche had been scheduled to open in Denver, but the NHL and the Avalanche agreed to move the first two games to San Jose after the April 20 shootings at the high school left the Denver area -- and, indeed, the nation -- in shock.
Two years ago, Granato was a member of the Sharks' radio broadcasting crew when San Jose again faced the Avalanche in the Western Conference semifinals. That time, Colorado came back from a 3-2 deficit to advance, and part of Granato's job was to attempt to put in perspective some of the moves made by the coaches -- Colorado's Bob Hartley and San Jose's Darryl Sutter.
And now, as the Sharks and Avalanche prepare to meet again in the conference semifinals, Granato still is learning how wild the fluctuations of evaluation can be, as he stands behind the Colorado bench in his second playoff run as head coach.
"I don't know if it's strange, but it's exciting," Granato said of going against the franchise that brought him in from the Los Angeles Kings as a free agent in 1996. "No matter who you're playing at this stage of the season, it's a challenge. It's a good hockey team. We're a team that's ready. We're a team that had a very good first round."
Since Granato left the San Jose broadcast crew, the Sharks have been through considerable changes -- including the firings of general manager Dean Lombardi and Sutter -- but there still are enough familiar faces around the Sharks to make the 39-year-old Avalanche coach nod frequently in greeting. At one point this season, after a warm conversation with a convivial man in the HP Pavilion hallway after a morning skate, Granato even revealed a state secret as he introduced his buddy to a writer.
"That's Sharky," he said of the Sharks' wildly popular costumed mascot.
There have been times, especially during the Avalanche's first-round flameout against the Wild a year ago, during the stumbles through the final 25 games of this season, and even during the first-round victory over Dallas, that Granato has been portrayed as having as much business calling the shots behind an elite team's bench as, well, Sharky.
Yet when the Avalanche were doing well, he has been portrayed as a coaching natural, taking to this business like an intuitive swimmer doing the freestyle after being tossed in the pool for the first time.
He has been derided as befuddled and overmatched, especially when it seemed in the two games at Dallas that the Avalanche had stopped their puck-pursuing aggressiveness and were determined to sit on leads.
He has been ripped, and rightfully so, for occasionally watching his team indulging in Sutteresque message-sending -- when this is a franchise that pretended to be above that sort of thing.
The truth?
Granato has a lot of evolving to do as a coach, especially to become a great one, but that mostly involves developing a confident decisiveness, trusting his own instincts and being himself -- rather than toeing a carefully drawn company line.
Yes, it's folly to assume that bland public pronouncements are the speeches made behind closed doors, yet too often those of us in this business -- and those reading us -- make that assumption. But when it comes off as denial, it contributes to an atmosphere that doesn't enhance the coach's credibility.
That line is championed by Pierre Lacroix, the highly successful GM who has done a remarkable job in his decade with the franchise. That approach isn't disingenuous, because the one-for-all, don't-rock-the-boat mantra is as genuine in hockey -- and in Colorado -- as anywhere in major-league sports. But when it squeezes the individuality out of the coach, at least for public display, that in the long run can be counterproductive because it contributes to the impression that when things aren't going well, Granato is in denial of the problems, not combating them.
Granato was elevated because the Avalanche stars were chafing under Hartley, and Lacroix was seeing his dream of overseeing an unprecedented nine straight division championships slipping away. He coached with a recent ex-player's touch, running snappier practices. It is what the Avalanche wanted, and they responded. Of course, the major inevitability about such transitions is that at some point, when the team struggles (as all teams do), the parroted talk will be that the boys now need a disciplinarian and a detail-oriented taskmaster.
You know, someone like Bob Hartley.
The most comical illustrations of the contradictions in evaluation of Granato's work have come over the past few weeks. He has been ripped for presumably being so in command that he has placed his team in a strategic strait jacket, demanding that the Avs sit back and try to take the air out of the puck, to speak, after getting leads. (In truth, his failing was not insisting that the Avalanche keep pressing, and there is a difference between that and ordaining excessive caution.) Yet the next criticism is that Granato has about as much influence on the Avalanche as a rink supervisor overseeing drop-in hockey.
Either he is this master puppeteer, manipulating his veteran-laden team, or he is powerless.
Of course, the truth is somewhere in the middle. But that's what the Avalanche were seeking when they hired him.
And then you come to one of the bottom lines.
Granato's regular-season record as a head coach is 72-33-17-11. That's better at the same stages than either of his predecessors, Marc Crawford and Hartley, rightfully regarded as two of the best in the business.
The Avalanche's playoff victory over Dallas was a relief for Granato, though he portrayed it as just another step in a quest. It was safe to assume that Lacroix reluctantly would have made a change if the Avalanche had lost in the first round for the second straight season, couching it that Granato had done a good job but something had to be done after two straight underachievements. And despite that record, Granato probably would have been stamped as a flop as a head coach, not getting anywhere near the most of a talented roster.
In some ways, Granato can't win. He has a job others would covet, but his credentials are skimpy. He didn't pay his dues. Absolutely, that has drawn some resentment from contemporaries around the league, even from the ex-players among the league's coaching ranks who did more extensive apprenticeships.
Above all, though, there are those high expectations.

Dixon turned on the air conditioner and radio, both full blast, to drown out the thumping.
It seems like, since we live in the sound bite era, grabby headlines like "EBOLA" and "ISIS" tend to drown out those numbers.
This is the only way to drown out the noise of the fifty stray cats that cry outside his window.
c.1300, transitive and intransitive, perhaps from an unrecorded derivative word of Old English druncnian (Middle English druncnen) "be swallowed up by water" (originally of ships as well as living things), probably from the base of drincan "to drink."
Modern form is from northern England dialect, probably influenced by Old Norse drukna "be drowned." Related: Drowned; drowning.
(Ex. 15:4; Amos 8:8; Heb. 11:29). Drowning was a mode of capital punishment in use among the Syrians, and was known to the Jews in the time of our Lord. To this he alludes in Matt. 18:6.

31 year old man | San Diego, CA, USA | Seeking women 21-30 within 25 miles
Looking for that special person to explore and make the most of this wonderful city with. Let's go out and see where it goes from there.
My name is Akash (pronounced uh-kosh) and I've been living in San Diego for a little over a year now and have really taken a liking to it. I'm half Indian (Dad) and half Mexican (Mom). I've come to a point in my life where I'm beginning to realize that its not only time to settle down with someone special but also that I want to. Things are going really well in my life the past couple years, particularly with my career, and I've noticed that there is definitely something missing and I want to fill the void. I'm using Match as a supplement to meet a great girl. As I'm sure we all know, it's not exactly the easiest thing to do. Among the most important things in my life are my family, career, health, and friendships. I have two brothers who happen to be my best friends. I've worked in investment banking since the beginning of my career. I like to think that I'm beyond my 29 years. Most say that when they meet me. I believe it has a lot to do with not only my career, but surrounding myself with those that are successful and driven. Most of my friends are at least a few years older than me. I love being active and stay in shape by doing all different types of activities (gym, yoga, cross-fit, hiking, playing sports, etc.). Rather than "wink" at me, just send me a message if you're interested. I'll do the same.
Camping , Coffee and conversation , Dining out , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Nightclubs/Dancing , Playing sports , Travel/Sightseeing , Watching sports , Wine tasting
Basketball, Running, Walking / Hiking, Weights / Machines, Yoga
I exercise 5 or more times per week.
I like Dogs

Knox Heritage issues call to photographers
If you're a local photographer, what's better than using your camera to create images that shape a tour of cool historic places?
Knox Heritage has announced a contest for photographers living in the Knoxville area that will be the basis for the nonprofit preservation group's annual Art & Architecture Tour.
Professional and amateur photographers age 16 or older and living in Knox County or 15 surrounding counties may submit photos of historic buildings or structures on the University of Tennessee campus.
In addition to historic buildings, photos of selected structures designed by noted architect Bruce McCarty (1920-2013) are also being accepted. A list of eligible structures as well as complete photography submission guidelines and an application form can be found on Knox Heritage's website, www.knoxheritage.org, or by calling 865-523-8008.
Entries must be received by Knox Heritage by May 15. Winners will be notified by May 29 and then publicly announced on the day of the tour.
Winning photos will be the basis for the walking tour route for the sixth Art & Architecture Tour, held Friday, June 14. The tour will be led by writer/historian Jack Neely. The winning photos will also be displayed at the Emporium Center gallery during the month of July.
The 2013 Art & Architecture Tour is being sponsored by McCarty Holsaple McCarty architecture firm.
Knox Heritage's mission is to advocate for the preservation of places and structures with historic or cultural significance. The nonprofit organization celebrated its 35th anniversary in 2009.

Great product
Larissa from Pittsburgh, PA – Verified Buyer
It's very sturdy and pretty. My walls are grey and the stands blend in with the walls, which is perfect for what I was looking for.
Elegantly Functional and a Great Value
MT in Vegas from Las Vegas, NV – Verified Buyer
[My actual rating is 4.5 stars.] It took a long search to find these, and they are almost exactly what I was looking for. They were easy to set up, they are thin and simple enough to blend into the background but sturdy enough to feel safe for my heavier than normal speakers, and they are pretty attractive in silver if you like an industrial look. And I was really happy with the configurability of the rectangular top plate since I could rotate it to accommodate my Cambridge S305s which are wide and squat. :) The only cons I can suggest are aesthetic, and may be subjective. The "VTI" on the base plate is plasticky and ugly, and I haven't found a way to pry it off. The tension knob and the collar are black, so it makes an otherwise unobtrusive stand more noticeable and a little cheaper looking, and finally I don't personally like the powder coat and would have been willing to pay more for a polished finish that would give the stands a more premium feel. But for the cost and compared to the other bulky, ugly stands available, they are definitely a great and attractive buy. I got four for my four rears (speakers :). - mt
Great Versatile Stands
Hector Apodaca from Rancho Cucamonga, CA – Verified Buyer
Stands served my purpose perfectly. I needed higher standing and strong stands to point out the window to my backyard, and back into my office, depending on my working location. Right now stands are holdng pair of Def Tech Studio Monitor 350's. Will hold 450's. Strong , simple , versatile, and swivel around to face speaker east, or west, etc.
Nice Stands
Damon Smith from Wakefield, RI – Verified Buyer
These stands are very nice. For the cost, I almost can't recommend stands that aren't adjustable like these are. The only negative comment I'll make about them is that the wire management hole on the top speaker plate is laughably small. If you use thicker than 18 gauge, forget about pulling the wire through.
Nice Stands!
Mark from Ronkonkoma, NY – Verified Buyer
These speaker stands are well constructed, easy to assemble and have a sleek look. Because my speakers are large and I had to raise them pretty high, they're a little teetery. I used velcro to secure the speakers from sliding. Other than that, I'm very happy with my purchase.
Great stand
yvon belair from verdun, QC – Verified Buyer
Very good quality, easy to assemble, very stable stand, very nice look cons: the screw for a wood floor make scatches
Sturdy and Flexible
svfishman from Wenatchee, WA – Verified Buyer
I use the stands for rear surround speakers. They provide solid support for my Polk Monitor 30s, which weigh about eight pounds each. The carpet spikes work fairly well on medium pile carpet, although I've put a small corner of the stand base under the couch to keep a small child from tipping a speaker onto her head. I have the speakers at about 55" off the ground. The stands are very sturdy - they could handle speakers weighing much more than the Monitor 30s. Plus they look nice as well.
Nice and sturdy
Home Office Happy from Walnut Creek, CA
Loved the ability to adjust height, horizontal swivel, and floor leveling. Had a little problem placing the hardwood floor protectors under the carpet spikes. They were a bit slick, would have preferred a rubber pad. But all in all the stands are extremely sturdy, maybe erroring on being a bit too husky.
Exactly What the Doctor Ordered
Home Theater Enthusiast from Washington, DC – Verified Buyer
These stands were exactly as advertised. Sturdy, easily assembled, and requiring a small space.
Best purchase for my surround speakers
Sri from San Jose, CA
This thing is very sturdy, It holds my surrounds very well and it is tall which is nice. Setup is easy peasy. The only complaint is that it could look a little better. Looks kinda' cheap.
OUR SKU # VI1137BLE Adjustable Speaker Stand is also sometimes listed under the following manufacturer numbers: BLE101S

A drink with jam and bread
... It was the consistency of warm butter, but sweet. The more jam you spread on top, the better. Some people chose to eat the halves separately and some fold the halves together to eat like a sandwich. All we were missing was tea. Our feet are getting sore.

We have got to know Plymouth quite well in the last few days(!) nearly as well as Dartmouth, just a few years ago... And this is precisely why we are sailing to the sun.
We we have all been busy on the boat...Duncan has ...
