If you started in video after the mid-90's there's a good chance you never used a tape-to-tape, linear, A/B Roll system or a flatbed (I've used the former but not the latter, which gives my wife bragging rights in that department). Today, for most people, the definition of "post production hardware" is a computer and maybe some bits and pieces plugged into it, but in the old days you needed a roomful of expensive and complicated gear to get anything done.
Software like Adobe's DV Rack simulates a lot of the gear you'd find in an old-school edit suite like a broadcast monitor and waveform/vectorscopes.
The first thing you learned in old-school editing school was how to read those scopes –they're key to making sure your video is broadcast legal. You'll also find them in Premiere Pro by opening your Reference Monitor (from the Program Monitor's flyout menu) and selecting the scope you want from its flyout menu (the flyout menu is the little round button with the triangle inside it that's in the upper-right corner of every panel in Adobe's video & audio tools).
The YC Waveform Monitor and the Vectorscope in Premiere Pro.
The basic idea is that TV screens, unlike computer screens, display an image comprised of Luma (brighness) and Chroma (color). The three channels that make up a video signal are Y (Luma) Cr (Chroma Red) and Cb (Chroma Blue), also referred to as YUV. Broadcast legal for NTSC video is within the range 7.5 IRE and 100 IRE on the waveform monitor (IRE stands for "Institute of Radio Engineers" for those of you keeping score).
7.5 IRE is black, and 100 IRE is white, and everything else needs to fall in between in order for video to be "broadcast legal" (exception is in Japan where they use NTSC with 0 IRE black). You can see the IRE scale on the right hand side of the YC Waveform Monitor in the image above.
If your video isn't broadcast legal it will not be aired, and even if it will never be broadcast it will cause many TV sets to produce an annoying "buzz" in the audio.
Now you may be thinking "my videos aren't for broadcast, they're not even for a TV set, and I don't need to worry about this." Well, one reason you should care is that video looks completely different on a computer screen than it does on a TV screen and if your video is going to be viewed on a computer monitor (e.g. on the web) or a handheld device (e.g. iPod) you should color correct it. Computers display images in terms of RGB or Red (R) Green (G) and Blue (B) so if you want your video to look its best you'll need to compensate.
In computer land, 0 RGB is black and 255 RGB is white. The problem is that when you convert video black (7.5 IRE) to computer black it actually translates as 16 RGB, not 0 RGB where it should be. Likewise, video white (100 IRE) translates to 235 RGB, not 255. So what you wind up with is less contrast, and blacks & whites that aren't true. Color correcting your video can fix this and here's a quick and easy way to do it:
If you're editing in Premiere Pro, once you're finished and done apply the Levels effect to your entire sequence. Start by nesting your sequence in a new sequence by clicking the New Item button and selecting Sequence
Accept the default settings in the New Sequence dialog, then drag your existing sequence from the Project Panel into the Video 1 track in your new sequence (this basically flattens all the layers in your original sequence so you can apply the Levels effect to the whole thing at once).
In the Effects panel, type "Levels" in the Contains field, and drag the Levels effect onto your nested sequence in Video 1. Open the Effect Controls panel and twirl down the controls for Levels
Since your video has levels of 16 black and 235 white, change the settings for (RGB) Black Input Level to 16 and (RGB) White Input Level to 235. See the difference?
Your blacks & whites are now where they should be, and you've regained the full contrast range in your video.
In After Effects, the same thing can be done by creating an Adjustment Layer, dragging it to the top of the layer stack in the Timeline, and applying the Levels effect to it (using the same settings above).
Remember, if you have graphics, photos, or other elements in your Premiere Pro edit or After Effects comp, you'll have to take that into account when applying the Levels effect – but for many cases this is a great way to make video look its best on a non-TV viewing medium.

Had to have my key cards reprogrammed four times in three days. This has been happening every time I stay at this hotel. I keep my cards in their sleeve and from any electronics but they still fail. This is getting very annoying especially when I leave my room to go to the workout facility.
I like the location. The pool.
Nice and clean
Nice hotel. Walking distance to lots of downtown attractions, dining and entertainment.
The hotel is nice & clean. The front desk check-in staff were fast and friendly. Room was clean and nicely furnished. Luggage carts are @ a premium. For ease and speed of check-out we had to carry all of our stuff by hand. Bellhops were a pain to deal with. Only other issues, the walls are thin and the room doors have no hydraulic assist, so they slam extremely loud and it sounds like the rude neighbors that insist on talking in the hall are sitting on the bed next to you.
The BattleHouse Hotel is excellent for spending time with that special one on a special occasion. I spent my 25th birthday weekend at the BattleHouse. The staff was very friendly and helpful. There was security at the front entrance no matter what time of the day it was. Each afternoon they would provide you with the weather forecast for the following day. Each morning the newspaper was waiting when I opened the door. The bed and pillows were the most comfortable that I've ever slept on. I would highly recommend this hotel.
I booked this hotel for my husband and I, for a two night romantic escape-from-the-kids weekend. I have to say, it was a bit of a let-down. The hotel itself is beautiful. What I did not appreciate: 1) our room was connected (ie, door between ours and another room) and 2) Valet parking only. We did hear a fair amount of noise from our neighbouring room, including kids squealing. The room itself was nice. Not as luxurious as the Monteleone in New Orleans (my all-time favourite 'cushy' hotel) but tastefully done. The beds were very comfortable. We ended up cancelling the second night.
Battle House has the air of an historic property, and after the recent rennovations and additions, the overall experience has only gotten better. Highly recommend.
Hotel was great, room was great but valet parking needs some work. We waited for almost 10 minutes for in a line of about 8-10 cars for someone to come check our car in. The next morning we got up and went out, car was waiting when we got down but when we came back to the hotel and checked the car back in we told them we would be leaving back out in a few hours. When we came back down almost 2 hours later our car was still sitting in the same location, directly in front of the doors, and was still running.
The Battlehouse is not only a beautiful and historic site; it is a wonderful place for a romantic get-away. The rooms are luxurious, spacious, and quiet. The staff is very accommodating. Night life in downtown Mobile is quite lively. The hotel has 2 bars/restaurants of its own. It now has a spa which we did not have time to visit this trip. We will definitely be back.
I lived in Mobile at one time and I wasn't a huge fan of the city. But Mobile has really worked to renew its downtown and I think the Battle House is a jewel. Beautifully redone and expanded, rich with history, great views of the port/bay, easy access off the freeway. Spa and fitness center are top notch. Spent a week here on business and would stay here again in a heartbeat.
My husband and I stayed July 4th weekend and had a wonderful experience. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel is absolutly beautiful. The rooms are big, spacious and fabulous. The bathrooms were BIG. The atmospere very regal and refined. If you want an escape from the ordinary this is it. Have Fun!
The Battle House Renaissance Mobile Hotel and Spa was an unexpected special treat for a one-night stay between destinations on the way to a business conference with my husband. This beautiful restoration/renovation deserves particular attention and is a real bargain when compared to similar accomodations. There were two lovely wedding receptions in progress when we arrived at a late hour, with guests spilling out into the lobby and around the entrance. It was obvious why this would be a popular choice for such celebrations - and our guest room felt like a honeymoon getaway, too! The parking was easy, the staff was gracious and in-room breakfast was delicious. A very special treat - we wish we could have stayed longer and will most definitely return if we get the chance!
Great views, location great
Service was extremely slow...took 35 minutes for the restaurant to make a salad and took 40 minutes to get checked in.
Location, comfort and ambience, staff was friendly and fun, love the rooftop garden and beehives! We will be back! That we couldn't stay longer!
Friendly and courteous staff, comfortable room, cold A/C. Good value for $. Room had fridge. I had front street room, it was pretty noisy; pay to park. Noisy A/C.
location - large room - comfortable - decor room service almost inexistant - charging for parking while plenty of free street parking - no flexibility for check out time - no place to hang towels to dry, no hook, no rack, nothing -
this hotel was amazing, the hotel itself was 75 years old and had historic qualities about it with a new re-modeled interior. the staff was so nice and extremely helpful during our stay again, hands down def the only hotel I will stay at when I come back to mobile.
The Staff was always pleasant, and eager to help.
I loved the staff and the whole look of the hotel. It's in the middle of a gorgeous remodel. It's very old and some things really showed it. While a lot of it was old and classy, some was just old. They are remodeling the whole hotel though into a gorgeous new look. What they have done so far is great.
The old building Bathroom need to be updated
Wonderful historic hotel in downtown Mobile. Very affordable. Have stayed at lesser hotels and paid double the rate. A five star luxury at Econo Lodge pricing.
It was one of the most beautiful and comfortable hotels. It was a little expensive but I'd pay for it over and over again. Staff were nice and helpful. I love everything about this place and I'd recommend to anyone. It has a romantic feel so I'd recommend it for adults
Very convient for for downtown. Well maintained, clean and crisp! Awesome staff and nice breakfast!
Staff was extremely nice and helpful. The Inn had off-street parking for a low fee. Restaurants were within easy walking distance. Our room was lovely. Not much of a view but we didn't come to Mobile to look out of a window! Our next door neighbors were very loud way past midnight. People walking up and down the hallways need to be reminded to talk softly. Some visitors are trying to sleep between midnight and 7am. This problem is not unique to Hampton Inn.
The housekeeping and maintenance staff was friendly and helpful. I was there on a Saturday a week before Mardi Gras. I'm sure that is the busiest time of year for them but when we found our shower didn't drain properly, the maintenance man came right away and fixed it. We did not have to wait. The room was much cleaner than when we stayed at this hotel 2 years ago. Pillows and blankets were comfortable. Convenient location. One out of two washers and dryers was broken.
Inside of room had been renovated. People were yelling all evening. By 10 they were yelling profanities and about the sex acts they would perform on eachother. I called the front office 5 times and emailed before somebody picked up. She was annoyed I was so upset. She came to my floor - where she could have seen people were congregated from the office and told them somebody had complained. (Not that they were being ridiculous. Horrible.
The bed was ok The plumbing was bad, the floors was very gritty, the bathroom was scary, filthy. Update is need in bathroom. Housekeeper knows how to rush you out at 10:00 am, when check out is at 11:00

Price: It was inexpensive. $65ish per night. Cleanliness: it was okay. If there was an okay column I'd put this there. The sink in the bath was clearly pretty new, and It looked like they'd done some other bathroom work recently. But, the shower curtain was a bit mildewed. The floor of the bathroom looked a bit dirty, but I couldn't tell if that was just a poorly done caulk job or if it was just dirty. Staff: They only had one person there. So, no cleaning crew on staff to handle unexpected items. Having said that, the lady that helped me in the morning was GREAT! really personable and smart. The night staff was just okay. Security: the property itself is in an okay neighborhood, but it feels close to sketchy stuff. the layout is more of a motel style as opposed to a hotel with an interior lobby and interior hall ways. In other words, anyone random can come knock on the door without having to pass the front desk at all. Comfort: The bedding felt fine, but my first room had a broken A/C and the second room had an A/C that was in Celsius or something other than fahrenheit.

This was our only alternative as Hurricane Matthew forced people west and all hotels filled up over night. Having read the reviews we were prepared for anything but were pleasantly surprised. Friendly staff, clean room, good bed and linen and bathroom. The "wooden" flooring was a welcome change from nasty hotel carpet. We clearly ended up in one of the renovated rooms so make sure to ask for one. The A/C was tired and couldn't be manually set so we had to pull the plug overnight not to freeze to death. The breakfast was a synthetic horror show.
Convience to the interstate and proxemity to downtown Overall cleanliness, need to worl harder on overall appearence of rooms (are renovatting at this time)
Close to where I needed to be I'm Mobile. Dead ants in the bed. Live ants in the bathroom. Dirty comforters Dirty toilet Hair on bathroom floor Extremely loud late night customers Room smelled like mold and carpet fresh.
location was great noisy, beds were saggy/lumpy, room was dirty, the parking lot was loud and didn't seem particularly safe
Quaint warm and charming. Staff was very helpful.
Staff was excellent, accommodations were excellent. I will definitely return on my next visit.
Awesome historic B&B! I love history and this inn along with the immediate surrounding buildings take you back in time. It's like a little slice of history that the city forgot. Breakfast was great and the chef was very nice and knowledgeable. He also can accommodate almost any special dietary need. I couldn't stay longer!
Staff was incredibly friendly, to the point where it changed our visit for the better after a long drive. Everything was clean, shiny, well kept. Tons of towels, good bed, good shower. Was pleasantly surprised by this hotel Parking is in the back of the hotel which we didn't know at first.
Staff was helpful and accommodating. Centrally located, easy access to parking. Facility was clean and well lit. Would recommend and stay again.
Need to be specific as to what size bed and room renting. Told by hotel that b/c of service we went into a category of "what ever is available" And it did not accommodate our party and b/c it was Mardi Gras there was nothing we could do...next time I will look at the service for prices and then directly call hotel.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 26/1/2014 (1304 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
CHICAGO - It is difficult to overstate the magnitude of this win for the Winnipeg Jets. Huge. Massive. Colossal. Gargantuan. Bigger than my pre-game meal. You get the picture.
Playing their fourth game in six days, second in two nights and third against a team in the league's top five, the deck was stacked against the Jets in so many ways. And while they spent a good portion of the night waltzing while the Chicago Blackhawks were fox-trotting, in the end it was the once-lowly Jets slipped out of town with the two points in tow.
The Jets finished a week in which they faced the NHL leading Anaheim Ducks, second place Hawks and fifth place San Jose Sharks, with a 3-1 win over Chicago to collect their third victory in six days.
But that win right there was just a great sign of character... I really can't say enough about that win.
Winnipeg is now 6-1 under new coach Paul Maurice and he was not hiding his pleasure following the win.
"The week was huge and especially (Sunday) night. Listen, we got dominated in the first period. That's a tough grind to go to the West Coast and play three of the league's top five teams and we showed it in the first period," said Maurice. "But that win right there was just a great sign of character. We held them in the second and then I've got a tired group at that point and they just played as hard and fast and loose which we didn't in the first. Down one, why wouldn't we? I really can't say enough about that win."
The Hawks outshot the Jets 18-2 in the first period and the home side held a 27-6 edge after two periods, but only had a one goal lead after Brandon Bollig beat Al Montoya early in the first period.
Montoya, who got his first win ever in front of his family and friends in his hometown of Chicago was brilliant and unbeatable the rest of the way.
"Yeah, that win is all him (Montoya). He gave us a chance heading into the third," said Jets captain Andrew Ladd, who scored the winner sandwiched between a pair of Blake Wheeler goals. "We talked about it in this room. We were only down one. We still had a chance to win the game. We wanted to reward him for playing out of his mind in the first two periods."
Maurice laughed when asked about the chatter in his dressing room prior to the third period.
"It was all me. No, all I want in that situation, I understand what happened in the first period but that can't dictate how we play in the third," said Maurice. "Down one on the road going into the third period against the second best team in the NHL. Yeah, we got crushed in the first period but the second period was an even period and we were much better in the third."
Wheeler got the Jets on the board as the middle of the third period drew close and then Ladd buried the winner with just over seven minutes left in the game.
The Blackhawks looked sluggish from the second half of the middle period on while the Jets picked up steam.
"We came in after the second period and we felt we had caught up to them in every way but on the scoreboard," said Jets winger Michael Frolik. "We told each other, 'let's go out and steal this game,' and that's exactly what we did."
"It was a lot of work," said Montoya, who faced 35 shots on the night. "I knew it wasn't going to be easy. They hadn't played in a couple of days and we've had a long road trip. I knew they were going to come. I knew I was going to have to make a couple of saves and I was going to have to get a couple of saves. But hats off to these guys. Even though that first period was a barrage, they battled and stuck with it and believed in me."
Olympic break: The Jets have six games left before the break to try and make up some ground in the wild-card race. "That's our goal. To make the playoffs. But we're not thinking about that. We're thinking about each period and each game and nothing more," said defenceman Zach Bogosian.
Playoff race: Last night's win lifted the Jets to 55 points and left them seven back of a wild card spot. The Minnesota Wild have 62 points and the Vancouver Canucks have 63 to hold the two wild card spots right now.
Fourth-line fellas: The combination the Jets used as a fourth line last night, Eric O'Dell, Anthony Peluso and Chris Thorburn have combined for three goals and 13 points this season. The Hawks rolled Marcus Kruger, Brandon Bollig and Ben Smith as their fourth line and they've collected 17 goals and 49 points this season.

DETROIT - Quicken Loans unveiled it's float for America's Thanksgiving Parade by asking "What If?"
"'What if?' represents the 6,500 Quicken Loans & Rock Ventures team members thinking, creating, building and playing in downtown Detroit - committed to developing a dynamic urban core and helping reinvent a great American city," said Dan Gilbert, Founder and Chairman of Rock Ventures and Quicken Loans in a news release.
The float is meant to celebrate the culture and creativity at the company.
Quicken Loans revealed the float outside its Detroit headquarters Monday afternoon on Local 4 News at Noon. The float was designed in partnership with Quicken Loans and The Parade Company built it.
The Quicken Loans "What If" float has a large tree house where kids imagine the next great idea. According to Quicken, other design elements include "amazing" ideas like a bicycle that flies, a tree that rakes its own leaves, a garden that grows its own light bulbs and a lemonade production line from tree to glass.
"When we sat down to figure out what our float should be, we actually engaged the design team from Quicken Loans to think about what we could do express the, you know, kids can do anything they want to do and the "What If" is just all about, think about outside the box, think about anything you want to do, you can achieve," said Lisa Dancsok, vice president of Rock Detroit Ventures, the parent company for Quicken Loans.
This is the first time Quicken Loans developed their own float, they have sponsored in the past.
"We wanted to be a part of the float because its such a traditional part of Detroit. As you know, we're trying to bring back the life and the young people to the city and this is a part of it. Families want to be a part of the parade and we want to be an instrumental part of it and we love what The Parade Company does, they're magnificent to work with," said Dancsok.
America's Thanksgiving Parade is this Thursday. It begins at Woodward Avenue and Mack Avenue just after 9 a.m. The parade can be seen live on Local 4.
Local 4's coverage begins at 6 a.m. with the parade starting just after 9 a.m.
This is the 86th year for the parade.

THE HIT Runs at Hale Theatre, Now thru Feb 9
A musty antique shop is not a place you'd expect to find wacky comedic patrons, romance, and an attempted assassination. But maybe it makes more sense if the hired hit man is a bumbling, conflicted first-timer, who is actually a hit woman. That's the premise of the romantic comedy, "The Hit," receiving its Arizona debut at Hale Center Theater, now through February 9th.
The story centers around a brother and sister who run a small antiques shop. Susan (Amie Bjorklund) and her younger brother Steve (Brett Etzel) took over the cluttered shop after their mother died from cancer. Now Susan has been given a similar diagnosis but hasn't told anyone. She has decided that rather than suffering and putting her brother through the pain again, she will hire a hit man to put a quick end to things. Things start to get a little crazy, when Susan meets, and starts falling for, the adorable Sam Gunderson (Matthew Cary). Sam is a widower who is just getting back to the dating scene, if a bit awkwardly, but still seems to be the perfect match for Susan, except that she still has a hit coming. And that's just the start of the antics.
The Hit is a light-hearted romantic comedy that hosts a vast array of characters (played by two actors: Katie Cook and Nathaniel Luis) that are included just to highlight some of the zanier people you might meet at an antiques shop (like the Minnesota mom or the silent-touch-everything type). There's also some action and everything is topped off with a message of living life to the fullest.
"In an impressive move, our creative management has selected an unknown play by a unknown playwright. But that's the indication of confidence that this lighthearted romp will tickle your funny bone and fully entertain Hale theatergoers," Marketing Director Daniel Sontag explains.
"We want to mix in the new with the tried-and-true, and we're always looking for new entertaining pieces that people may not be familiar with," Hale owner David Dietlein says. "We feel this Romantic-comedy thriller is right up our patrons alley."
The Hit was recommended to the Hale's owners by managers of Hale's sister companies in Glendale, Calif., and Orem, Utah, after viewing its first staging in San Diego. The first production of The Hit was performed by Lamb's Players Theatre, who has a notable reputation for producing world premieres, with more than 40 new productions to its credit.
The response to The Hit from its California debut had an overwhelming positive effect on critics. One reviewer called it "a far-fetched frivolity spiked with lots of laughs," while another wrote, "As suspense and gunplay go, The Hit is a bang-bang bonbon, like Hitchcock on helium."
The show runs December 29th to February 9th. Show dates are Wednesday through Saturday with weekday show times at 7:00PM, and weekend show times at 7:30PM with 3:00PM Saturday matinees. Prices are $10 for children(ages 6-18), $24 for adults. Reservations may be made by calling the box office at (480) 497-1181 or by visiting the website at www.HaleTheatreArizona.com. Hale Centre Theatre is located in Gilbert at 50 West Page Avenue.

NYFW FW13 Backstage: Rodarte, Marc by Marc Jacobs, Alexander Wang & Creatures of the Wind
Shot by Sonny Vandevelde.
The Mulleavy sisters injected some colour into the doom and gloom of the FW13 collections with their Rodarte offering which saw bright tie-dye prints waltz down the runway along with a model who had Rainbow Brite hair to match. Meanwhile Marc by Marc Jacobs was '70s air hostess goes glam' with psychedelic patterns, fur coats, satin and circular bags. Sports-luxe master Alexander Wang bought back the snood and tailored trackpant, while we loved the jolt of jaffa orange in Creatures of the Wind's 'Candy' collection.

Carrera was founded in 1956 as a sports eyewear company. They would change their name to Carrera in 1974, and since that time, their popularity and notoriety has been nearly unmatched. Quickly becoming one of the most popular brands, especially within the ranks of the "super-famous," Carrera eyewear is second to none in vintage inspired 70's designs. Carrera is for men, women, and kids who seek stylish and contemporary eyewear without having to spend an arm and a leg.
The Carrera eyeglasses collection is in a league all its own; the frames are uniquely designed and maintain a certain level of stylistic choices that make these frames stand out as authentic Carrera eyeglasses. Full of metal and acetate plastic frames, we see the various interpretations of the classic eyeglass shapes. Rectangular frames make this collection largely wearable by both genders.
These vintage inspired frames are on the cutting edge of popular cultural fashion trends, and even if pop culture isn't your thing, these Carrera eyeglasses will suit your individual fashion aesthetics.

In one of the hadiths speaking of the portents of the coming of Hazrat Mahdi (as) the years 1997 and 1999 are indicated:
People will prosper until the ninety-fifth year, that is, their business will prosper. In the ninety-seventh and the ninety-ninth year, their possessions will go to waste... (Ibn Hajar al-Haythami, Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar fi `Alamat al-Mahdi al-Muntadhar, p. 54)
The term "the ninety-fifth year" in the hadith in all probability refers to the year 1995. Until 1995, people led relatively easy lives, and conditions were not that hard. But after that, various difficulties began arising. Various political problems arose in 1997. The earthquakes in the Marmara region and across Turkey in 1999 led to the worst loss of life and property of recent years.

Last night, I decided to roll up my sleeves and try the "First Timer Ribs". I started day before yesterday by making the rub, putting it on a rack of ribs, and refigerating overnight. The rub recipe was easy, and I made the Lemon Brown Sugar BBQ Sauce the same day, refigerating it with the ribs. Yesterday, I fired my Weber charcoal grill, made the mop sauce, and cooked the ribs exactly as the recipe indicated. The ribs came out perfect after cooking on indirect heat at 325-350 degrees for about 1 hour and 40 minutes. I soaked hickory chips in apple juice for about an hour before cooking, and they added a nice sweet smokey flavor to the grill. I had to replace charcoal once about 1 hour into cooking, but that was easy since I anticipated it ahead of time. My family absolutely loved the ribs, and I especially liked the BBQ sauce which complemented the ribs quite nicely. My 4 year old son tested the BBQ sauce when I finished making it and asked if I could put some in a bowl! After eating the ribs, he said "dad, these ribs are great, bit a little spicey". I agree, but they are not overpowering at all. I am not a "kick it up a notch" kind of guy on the spices, so trust me when I say they are just a tad spicey. I plan on using the sauce on chicken and anything else I can find that would be good.
Thanks Steve! Thanks to you, I see baby backs in my future!

FMI Event Offers Glimpse of Tomorrow's Grocery Store
Special exhibit provided a look at the shopping experience of the future.
CHICAGO -- The recently concluded 2014 FMI Connect event at Chicago's McCormick Place offered a glimpse of what food retailing could be –- or should be, if current predictions about shopping behaviors bear out.
The Retail Experience of the Future (RETF) exhibit provided expo attendees with a preview of how current research, trend analysis and future-focused leaders suggest the world of food retail is expected to change in the next decade, and a presentation of ideas for enhancing the shopping experience and effectively adapting to the changing landscape.
"The goal of the RETF initiative is to provoke thought, create conversation and inspire optimism among FMI Connect attendees about the possibilities ahead," said Leslie G. Sarasin, FMI's president and CEO. "The exhibit serves as an informed observation of where consumers, food, marketing and technology are headed, and what that may mean for the food retail industry in the future."
Progressive Grocer, a sister publication of Convenience Store News, got a pre-opening tour of the Retail Experience of the Future exhibit and reported on what it observed.
The entry corridor to the RETF exhibit focused on the consumer of the future. Based on research commissioned by FMI, attendees experienced the shopping needs and desires expressed by four distinct types of consumers:
Millennial Mel: Tomorrow's Shopper. This is a Millennial who lives with her parents and shops for herself. Community-oriented, she seeks convenience and welcomes recommendations. She's technologically savvy and a social shopper; 38 percent of Millennial Mels will share grocery experiences via social media.
Gourmet Gordon: Focused on the Food. Gordon is a Gen X or Baby Boomer with no children. He shops for himself or a spouse. Product matters most; he seeks fresh, quality ingredients. He shops with a conscience; values organic, non-GMO, sustainable, local and ethical sources, and is eco-friendly. Sixty-eight percent of Gordons would pay more for organic.
Metropolitan Marsha: Craves Convenience. Marsha is a Gen X or older Millennial who shops for her family. She lives in a large, walkable city and embraces technology for quick and simple shopping experience; 55 percent of Marshas said delivery schedule control would be a top reason to shop online.
Traditional Tim: Sticks to Routines. Tim is a Baby Boomer, likely retired, who shops for himself or a spouse. Technology,-resistant, he lives in the suburbs, a mid-sized city or a small town. Thirty-six percent of Tims say competitive pricing would be the main reason for choosing their grocer.
The main area of the RETF exhibit featured a series of "what-if" scenarios and vignettes with a structured focus on the following key elements:
- Stores will become emotional destinations.
- The store floor will become a "hyper showroom" to help shoppers become smarter consumers.
- Stores will enable micro-personalization on a macro scale.
- Retail's role in its shoppers' wellbeing will increase.
- The store environment will become highly responsive.
- Store associates will become shopper advocates.
- Technology will enable the experience without interrupting it.
"The power of the Retail Experience of the Future exhibit is the opportunity it provides to discover, experience and discuss the changes that are coming to our industry and contemplate how our future success as food retailers will be determined by our ability to adapt and meet the evolving needs and wants of our customers," said FMI Connect Chairman Randy Edeker, who is also chairman, president and CEO of Hy-Vee Inc., a grocery and convenience store operator.
Even though the idea of online grocery sales is gaining traction, RETF research offered a ray of sunshine to the brick-and-mortar retailer: 83 percent of consumers consider traditional grocers their "go-to" for the foreseeable future.
"They don't see a future without grocery stores," said Sabina Saksena of project consultant PriceWaterhouseCoopers (PwC), who led the pre-opening media tour of the RETF exhibit. Consumers see online grocery sales as an "add-on feature" rather than a shift totally away from "real" shopping.
"Even Millennials, they want the experience in the store," Saksena said.
The Retail Experience of the Future was sponsored by American Express, Coca-Cola Refreshments, The Hershey Co., Hussmann Corp., Innovation Center for U.S. Dairy, MyWebGrocer, PwC, SAP, The SupermarketGuru.com and Tesser Inc., the lead architect on the project.
The 2014 FMI Connect event took place June 10-13.

We spent most of the weekend glued to the news from Japan. On Sunday morning, as I was going about with my chores, I felt a certain kind of serenity and a feeling of continuity. I cannot even begin to imagine what the people in Japan are going through and although I haven't stopped thinking about the tragedy, I realise that our lives will continue as normal.
We love going for long walks on the weekend. It's the best time for us to have a good chat, catch up on what is on the schedule for the upcoming week and just spend some time together. It was another hot weekend here in Sydney and I felt like making a summery dessert for Sunday afternoon tea. This raspberry and almond clafoutis is so effortless, but perfectly scrumptious.
Raspberry and almond clafoutis
(serves 2)
200g frozen raspberries
2 large free-range eggs
100g almond meal
130g low-fat, smooth ricotta
1 tsp natural vanilla extract
1 tbsp raw honey
icing sugar, to serve
Preheat your oven to 175C. Divide the raspberries in 2 ramekins. Mix the eggs, almond meal, ricotta, vanilla and honey in a bowl. Spoon the batter equally on top of the raspberries on each ramekins. Bake for 20-25 minutes. Leave to cool slightly, then dust with icing sugar to serve.

Wonder Woman, Feminism, and the Power of Women
Wednesday was Wonder Woman Day this week. A few wonderful women shared blog posts and documentaries about the American super heroines and the intersections with feminist activism and inspiration. I learned more about comic book heroine history in a short hour than an entire life of media exposure has given me. Why?
The PBS Wonder Woman documentary outlined the Princess, Amazon, Goddess that took the world by storm during a time of war and destruction and then the ongoing changes and meanings drawn from this character over the course of the 20th century. In the comics of the '40s women are always tied up or chained so that the hero can save them, but Wonder Woman saves herself, breaks her own chains. How cool! But then (dun dun dun!) we see a transition after the war when women were supposed to return to the homemaker role and make way for men returning. We see Wonder Woman switch to dainty, needy, and occupied by romance. This happened all over the place--Lois lane, Cat Woman, Batwoman—the world phased out or played down female characters. Thankfully, you just can't keep a good woman down! Feminist icons like Gloria Steinem discussed changes, shifts, and advocacy for strong, inclusive female characters. This was so important because super heroines have elements of compassion, politics, equality in their stories and roles that other comic book heroes just didn't have. Interviewees mused on the emerging feminist movement as a source of role models, of redemption! Strong women and girls were the central actors of their lives. In the 1970s TV series, Wonder Woman was interested in the community of women and building it strong!
How is it that the world never told me the story of these powerful super women and the imposing cultural influences that systematically stripped them of their powers? I love the notion that real life women struggled, pushed, and pulled back and forth with the safe, traditional conservatism to negotiate the power back into super heroines. I also adore that the documentary wrapped up by talking about the ways that women and girls have taken on the role of critical consciousness-raising about the presence of women in the media. Women make media, write their own stories, and do powerful, wonderful things every single day. Thank you to the wonder women who shared these stories with me.
You too are a Wonder Woman! Thank you!
Awe! That makes me blush. Thank you!

There and Back again...
A Trip to the Motherland
de Tommy Wilkinson
Acerca del libro
There and Back Again tells of a journey that three people took together. On its face, the trip appeared to be about taking care of some unfinished business and doing some much needed site-seeing; what resulted from it became so much more.
They departed from Greenville, South Carolina as a man, his wife, her mother, and a -3 month old baby boy, but returned as a tight knit family unit. You may wonder how a short holiday could achieve such great results. One of the most important things about traveling is who you travel with...who you experience the new with; who you rely on in a pinch.
The closeness in this came from equal parts of laughter, adventure, group time, alone time, crazy time, traveling woes, through the shedding of tears, through giving loads of money to a nice little Venetian artist, through seeing the famous and obscure, through spending real time together.
As you journey through this book you will not see any captions. I am going to allow you to make you own judgements; create your own story through these images. Please know though...this was a real adventure to the people involved and that made all the difference...
Tommy Wilkinson

Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating
that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce
the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may
even become friends"

HOUSTON - A woman will spend about a third of her life in menopause. That's why a new center in Houston is dedicated to helping women receive the best quality of life during those sometimes challenging years.
You're probably familiar with the obvious signs of menopause, which include hot flashes and night sweats, but there are many more physical and mental health issues associated with it that can be frustrating, even debilitating.
Retired political science professor Pauline Schloesser now owns a yoga studio in the Heights.
A healthy, active 49-and-a-half years old, Schloesser started experiencing symptoms of menopause in her mid-40s, including joint pain, vision changes, headaches and more.
"What happened that really made me seek help is the mood changes," said Schloesser. "I started to get depressive and angry for no reason."
She said even her libido changed.
"It's like a second adolescence and that I don't think anyone prepared me for," said Schloesser.
Schloesser is one of the first patients at The Menopause Center at Texas Children's Pavilion for Women. It's an extension of the hospital's mission to care for women well past motherhood.
What's unique about the center is that doctors focus not only on the physical changes a woman goes through during menopause, but also psychiatric issues.
"It interferes with their life all aspects: Vocational, maternal, social, sexual, so there's a need there," said co-director and gynecologist Dr. Ronald Young.
Young is a leading researcher in his field and says with the controversies surrounding hormone replacement therapy, specialists here are dedicated to offering women the latest data and cutting edge treatment available.
"Even if you're violently, inherently, genetically opposed to hormones, that doesn't mean a good menopause specialist can't help you get through the menopause and maintain the best level of health that you possibly can maintain," said Young.
Doctors say preventative care and lifestyle changes can also ease the journey through menopause.
"The way I look at it is menopause is a really great opportunity to make some important changes in life that will take you through the second half," said Schloesser.

PHILADELPHIA - Senior Maalik Reynolds and sophomore Sam Mattis were each officially named first-team All-Americans by the U.S. Track & Field/Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) on Monday afternoon. Sophomore Kelsey Hay earned honorable mention accolades.
Reynolds is now a six-time first-team All-American, including all four outdoor seasons. He finished seventh in the high jump at the NCAA Championships on Friday with a clearance of 2.15 meters (7-00.50 ft.). Shortly after Reynolds' All-America performance, Mattis finished fifth in the discus with a toss of 60.33 meters (197-11 ft.).
Hay earned honorable mention honors and is the first Penn woman to do so since Leslie Kovach was an honorable mention honoree in 2011. Shefinished 18th at the finals of the NCAA Championships in the women's javelin on Wednesday. Her best toss landed at 47.28 meters (155-01 ft.).
First-Team All-America honors were awarded to those who finished among the top eight in an individual or relay event as part of a team; Second-Team All-America honors went to those who finished between ninth and 16th; and Honorable Mention honors were given to the remaining finishers.
Next up for the Quakers is a trip to England as Penn continues one of track and field's most unique traditions. The Transatlantic Series dates back more than half a century and teams Ivy rivals Penn and Cornell against the storied English universities of Oxford and Cambridge. A bienniel tradition, the school's alternate as hosts with the meet being held at Cambridge this year. The Quakers will also compete at England's U-20 and U-23 Championships and spend time touring the country. In all, the Penn track and field teams will be overseas from June 16-July 1.

PHILADELPHIA vs. CHIVAS USA
Kickoff: 7:30 p.m., StubHub Center
TV/Radio: TWCD/1220-AM
Update: Another game, another suspension. Midfielder Oswaldo Minda is eligible to return after sitting out a game for yellow-card accumulation, but defender Bobby Burling is sidelined for this one after picking up a straight red card in Wednesday's home loss to Portland. "In order to compete in this league, you've got to be deep," goalkeeper Dan Kennedy said. "You can't just rely on one, two or even 11 guys. Whether it's suspensions or injuries or form, guys are going to have to sub in and step up." ... On Friday, Chivas waived defender Lyle Martin before he could make his MLS debut. ... Philadelphia (2-7-5) played the foil for the Galaxy and Landon Donovan in a 4-1 defeat Sunday, then stayed in Southern California to prepare for Chivas (2-6-4). ... Chivas will meet the Galaxy next week before the teams take a three-week MLS hiatus for the World Cup.

DAYTON, Ohio (AP) -- Increased sightings of coyotes in suburban areas are unsettling residents in southwest Ohio.
One animal control service in the Dayton area says it is getting calls about coyotes nearly every day. People say they are worried that coyotes could attack them or their pets.
Coyotes are more threatening to small pets. Officials are urging people not to give coyotes opportunities or to draw them by leaving food out and trash cans uncovered.
Development has brought homes near coyote habitats in woods and other areas.
The Dayton Daily News reports (http://bit.ly/XC9pLK ) that an Ohio State University expert will host an informational meeting this Sunday at the Aullwood Audubon Center and Farm.
Roaming coyotes have been reported over the last several years in affluent Cincinnati suburbs such as Indian Hill and Mariemont.

A community is rallying round to raise money to show support for a teenager fighting a rare form of spinal cancer.
Keen sportsman Murray Watson, 18, was diagnosed with stage three spinal cancer in September.
Murray, who played for Guiseley Juniors and Otley Town FC, is undergoing treatment at Leeds General Infirmary to fight the aggressive tumour, which took away movement in his arms and legs.
The teenager's plight has prompted a wave of support from friends and well-wishers in his home town, Guiseley. Murray, who recently completed his A Levels at Guiseley School, has asked for any money raised to be donated to the Teenage Cancer Trust and the neurology ward at LGI.
A total of £1,000 was raised for the two charities last week with a hair-cutting marathon at Yazz Number One Hair Studio in Guiseley.
The salon invited customers to walk in for a free haircut from 4pm until 10pm and were then invited to make a contribution to the two charities.
It was attended by Murray's family and many of his friends.
Organiser and salon owner Paul Shakeshaft said: "It was extremely well attended and we were moved and amazed by the generosity of our customers and donations from passers by."
He added: "It was a really good turn-out. We had people just walking in off the street and making a donation.
"Loads of Murray's friends supported the event – and nurses from the hospital as well. He is a local lad who has grown up in Guiseley and is a lovely lad.
"He was very keen on sports and it is just devastating what has happened to him." A Pray for Murray site has been set up on Facebook.

Tuesday, December 06, 2011
As a history geek, I wonder how you would historicize what likely amounts to an oral discourse. There are manuals on sex from the Renaissance that warn about overindulging. Rudolph M. Bell wrote a delightful study of these manuals, where we learn that sexual "overindulgence" can lead to: "headaches, nervousness, chest pains, kidney problems, backaches and sore legs; facial paleness ensues, along with rapid aging and even death". If that wasn't bad enough, it "damages the eyes and all of the five senses" and causes, "loss of memory, tremors, aches in the extremities, especially the legs, along with kidney and bladder problems," "causes loss of appetite, shortens life span, destroys natural virtue, makes bones brittle, and brings on senility". Unfortunately, the manuals agreed that married people should be having sex regularly and did not actually specify how much was too much. Apparently, you'd know by the facial paleness.
I've never met anyone who worried about an early death, but the fear of sexual overindulgence still seems to be common. There's something irresponsible and self-indulgent about non-procreative sex that rubs against our need to be "productive" at all times. I've had female partners ask me if I thought they were "abnormal" in their sexual desires. The answer was always no.
But the official story, if you were to judge by our books, movies, and marriage manuals, is that we're none of us sexually timid. This is one area in which I agree with the college chastity movement: the mass media gives the impression that every young person is indulging in largely meaningless sexual experiences with whoever comes along (not to say that meaningless sex isn't its own form of repression). You watch these programs especially and nobody ever seems to suffer from sexual hang-ups or insecurities and you would have the impression that ours is an age of Sex and the City style freedom, as opposed to one of the most fearful, conservative, and repressed cultural eras since the 1950s.
People talk about the "pornification" of society with widespread access to hardcore pornography on computers. And yet, this is not sexual behaviour, which requires the interaction of two people. Logging on and jacking off is a salve for sexual repression that makes it easier to endure. It's not an indication of sexual freedom; much the opposite. What seems to have happened is that sexual behaviour was once private and scorned in public, leaving a nice, neat historical record behind; now, it's much the opposite: sexual behaviour of all sorts is publically celebrated and repression is something shameful and private. In other words, the "historical record" should be expected to lie.

In my personal life, I have recently come to the conclusion that much of the distress of my life, all the way back into childhood, even, has to do with sexual repression. Of me, of others. Failed, successful, either way, it is so woven into how so much of society is structured ... and on such an intimate level. This is the repression within families, from one individual to another within a relationship, and that relationship need not even be sexual for it to happen.
There is a real sense of intimidation to even contemplate something like that, which is so completely integral, and offensive to people both in on it, and those who want out of it.
In what way, exactly, does the world get destroyed if women have sexuality?? It's just hard to fathom. And yet, this is a grounding principle of so many cultures.
- Rufus said...
I've heard from a number of friends about their feelings of guilt, anxiety, or shame around the subject of sex- usually women. The psychoanalysts, of course, had a lot to say on the issue of sexual repression, but the profession seems to have turned, instead, to trauma and treating disorders with meds.
As an aspiring historian, it's hard to know where there would be a record of sexual repression, given that even the subject is so taboo. It seems like current books, movies, and art mostly portray sex in feminist or sex positive terms that reflect the people who make them. In the same way, everyone on television now seems to have a gay best friend, and nobody has any shame or sexual hangups. Neither reflects 100% of reality, but they will be the official recorded history because sexual repression is more of an oral tradition (so to speak).
- Holly said...
I suspect just as many men have issues, but the current model (societally) is that women have repression issues and men don't.
I imagine (although this could be very, very emotionally challenging to investigate), the details of sex crime cases brought to trial would be very revealing. Because what is allowed, what is not allowed, and how those issues are handled will tell a story.
- Rufus said...
Well, I'm sort of at odds with most men, since I don't really have issues with attraction to men or jealousy. I think the male ego is actually pretty fragile for many men.
I've seen some pretty interesting histories using sex crime trials (and actually a fascinating book about divorces during the Renaissance), but I always wonder if criminals aren't essentially outliers.

"The magnets turned out even better than I expected. All the pictures looked really good with the chevron background and I received so many compliments."
"I had the designer mock up a color that was not offered for preview. The proof arrived lightning fast. Then the actual magnets arrived four days ahead of schedule! We will be ordering invitations from WPD as well."
"The picture I used turned out excellent and looks exactly how I edited it to be! Can't wait to send them out to my wedding guests!"
"These magnets were perfect for our Save the Dates. The magnet was a bit smaller than I thought it would be but I wasn't disappointed. The colors on the magnet are bright and the picture was clear. Thank you, Wedding Paper Divas for a great product!"
"I used my own design for save the date magnets and was so happy with the outcome through Wedding Paper Divas. I had to call customer service a few times to speak with a customer service rep since everything wasn't fitting in the designated design area. They were more than accommodating and set me up with a designer in order to see a proof before ordering. Loved the outcome!!"

Whatever media we read, watch, or listen to has an effect on us. Church members are counseled to choose only entertainment and media that are uplifting. Wholesome entertainment promotes good thoughts and righteous choices and allows participants to enjoy themselves without losing the Spirit of the Lord.
Additional Information
Elder M. Russell Ballard of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles taught:
"Because of its sheer size, media today presents vast and sharply contrasting options. Opposite from its harmful and permissive side, media offers much that is positive and productive. Television offers history channels, discovery channels, education channels. One can still find movies and TV comedies and dramas that entertain and uplift and accurately depict the consequences of right and wrong. The Internet can be a fabulous tool of information and communication, and there is an unlimited supply of good music in the world. Thus our biggest challenge is to choose wisely what we listen to and what we watch.
"As the prophet Lehi said, because of Christ and His Atonement, we are 'free forever, knowing good from evil,' able to act for ourselves rather than be acted upon, 'free to choose liberty and eternal life … or to choose captivity and death' (2 Nephi 2:26-27).
"The choices we make in media can be symbolic of the choices we make in life. Choosing the trendy, the titillating, the tawdry in the TV programs or movies we watch can cause us to end up, if we're not careful, choosing the same things in the lives we live.
"If we do not make good choices, the media can devastate our families and pull our children away from the narrow gospel path. In the virtual reality and the perceived reality of large and small screens, family-destructive viewpoints and behavior are regularly portrayed as pleasurable, as stylish, as exciting, and as normal. Often media's most devastating attacks on family are not direct or frontal or openly immoral. Intelligent evil is too cunning for that, knowing that most people still profess belief in family and in traditional values. Rather the attacks are subtle and amoral—issues of right and wrong don't even come up. Immorality and sexual innuendo are everywhere, causing some to believe that because everyone is doing it, it must be all right. This pernicious evil is not out in the street somewhere; it is coming right into our homes, right into the heart of our families" ("Let Our Voices Be Heard," Ensign, Nov. 2003, 16-17).
Prophetic Teachings
"An Ensign to the Nations, a Light to the World"
If we are to [be] an ensign to the nations and a light to the world, we must take on more of the luster of the life of Christ.
Answers are intended for help and perspective, not as pronouncements of Church doctrine.
Let us speak out and encourage a more uplifting, inspiring, and acceptable media.
Does the media really reflect the level of violence in society? Does it have any effect on aggression? The answers may surprise you.
"Setting Family Standards for Entertainment"
While the world continues to offer entertainment that disregards spiritual values, we can teach our families to choose what's best and ignore the rest.
Available information wisely used is far more valuable than multiplied information allowed to lie fallow.
The call in every age—and especially our age—is Joshua's call: "Sanctify yourselves: for to morrow the Lord will do wonders among you."

The Squirrel Whisperer Will Put Tiny Hats On All Your Squirrels
Mary Krupa is a freshman at Penn State University, but kids around campus know her mostly as The Squirrel Whisperer. Mary has taken to befriending the local fauna, and loves squirrels the best — so much so, that she's designed a series of tiny squirrel hats for her bushy-tailed friends to wear. The squirrels gladly oblige Mary, but only if she's got food. "It's kind of a give and take. They're not going to play with me unless I have food to give them," she admitted.
How much does Mary love squirrels? She's even created a Facebook page for her favorite, Sneezy. Sneezy wears a lot of hats. [Onward State]

Big events like the Kentucky Derby, the NCAA Tournament and the Super Bowl mean big business for cities. These events can also be a magnet for scammers.
"They faxed me this contract. I filled it out, signed it, and sent it back to them," said fraud victim, Willie Pinkton.
Pinkton signed a contract with Superweek Lodging hoping to rent out his home during the Super Bowl in Indianapolis.
"They assured me my house would be rented out 'before' the Super Bowl and it was going to be a minimum of a 3-day stay and make a minimum of $850 per day," he said.
To get his home listed, the company told him he would need to send money upfront.
"I would need to send them a check or money order for $875," he said.
So, Pinkton did. And what did he get in return? Nothing. In fact, he lost the money he gave them.
Homeowners were told if the home wasn't rented or they wanted to cancel, they could get their money back. Again, not true.
"After the event I tried to call him back several times. I didn't get any answers," said Pinkton.
Postal Inspectors say this scam has been growing in the last five years, resulting in hundreds of thousands of dollars in losses.
"Be weary of investment opportunities that are high reward but very low risk," said U.S. Postal Inspector Keith Moore.
Consumers need to do their research. One way is to contact the Better Business Bureau and ask how long the company has been doing business. But sometimes, the con artists try to cover their tracks.
"The suspects generally change the website name and the company name every year after a big event," said Moore.
"I just don't trust any of this anymore," said Pinkton. "I would never ever do it again."
Indiana's Attorney General filed lawsuits against Superweek Lodging and another home rental company for their role in this case and another like it. The suit is seeking full refunds for customers, civil penalties and attorney fees.

THE financial director at an international cookware firm who used more than £200,000 of their funds to pay off his credit card debts was today jailed for 26 months.
A judge told Simon Crowther, "You treated the company finances as your own to take - and that's what you did."
Crowther had been using the company's credit card, including taking his wife on a trip to New York, as well as setting up a bogus account using the firm's money to pay off his wife's credit card for at least ten years.
Liverpool Crown Court heard Crowther, 58, had been financial director of the globally renowned Meyer Group, which has its headquarters in Wirral.
He was highly-trusted and was earning £80,000 a year by September 2011 , having been in that role for almost 20 years, when he was given long term compassionate leave to care for his terminally ill wife.
He was eventually given early retirement package in April 2012 of more than £100,000 and a flexible consultancy role at £395 a day, said Andrew Ford.
But his successor found "financial irregularities and anomalies in the books and noticed significant items of personal expenditure" totalling £27,000.
These included cash withdrawals from cash points and other expenditure consistent with travel, but his job was office based.
They had been described as sundry expenditure which took it "below the radar."
Mr Ford said that Crowther, of Edinburgh Way, Chester, had pleaded guilty to two offences involving obtaining property by deception and a charge of obtaining a money transfer by deception.
The second offence related to an account Crowther had set up purporting to be a health insurance scheme and payments were described as to "Capital" but in fact he had been writing cheques on it and altering them to read Capital One to pay off his wife's credit card.
The total amount paid out over ten years was found to be £215,659, said Mr Ford, but he pointed out that the records only went back ten years.
When Crowther was contacted he initially claimed it was down to administrative errors and mistakes and only came clean when the Capital One fraud was uncovered.
He later wrote a letters saying that money in excess of his salary had been spent of alcohol and cigarettes. Crowther's wife, with whom he has five children, died in March 2012.
Their house valued at £640,000 has been put up for sale and although it's price had been reduced it has still not been sold. Meyer Group have meanwhile obtained a county court judgment against Crowther for almost £400,000 and his assets have been frozen, said Mr Ford.
Judge Norman Wright told Crowther, "These are by any stretch of the imagination extremely large sums of money.
"You were the financial director of the UK arm and therefore effectively you controlled the company purse strings. You treated the company finances as your own to take and that's what you did.
He banned him from being a company director for 12 years.
Peter Barnett, defending, said Crowther is suffering from ill health including two kidney tumours and a rare blood disorder. He has suffered a "great fall from grace", declared himself bankrupt and is now living on state benefits in a council property.

November 28, 2012
SIOUX CITY, Iowa – The Lady Mustangs (26-7) continued pool play in 2012 NAIA National Championships today against Viterbo University (34-7).
Coming on the heels of a less than desirable performance against CSU San Marcos on Tuesday night, the Lady Mustangs sought to rebound and keep their national title hopes alive against the V-Hawks.
Despite having four solo blocks compared to the V-Hawks recorded three solo blocks, and finishing with a higher attack percentage of .185 by the end of the night, the Lady Mustangs fell in four sets (20-25, 25-19, 23-25, 25-27) to Viterbo.
TMC and Viterbo traded scoring spurts in the first set as the two teams tied on nine separate occasions. Leveled at 17-17, the V-Hawks capitalized on an 8-3 run that included five kills and three Mustang attack errors. With the set concluding at 25-20, the Mustangs entered the second set facing an uphill battle.
But the Mustangs showed resilience in set two as they began with a 10-3 run. The V-Hawks slowed down TMC's momentum with a time-out, and rallied a 15-point comeback that brought the score to 18-18. The Mustangs shook off the surging V-Hawk effort, and produced a 7-1 run that consisted of three kills by Britney Jones (Northridge, CA), a Sam Dougherty (Madera, CA) service ace, and two single kills by Jenna Kapuscinski (Sylmar, CA) and Stacey Jones (Scottsdale, AZ).
Viterbo regained composure after the Mustangs took set two and started the third game with a 6-1 run. But the Mustangs fought back and brought the set to 10-10. After a quick scoring spurt on each side that brought the match even at 12-12 the V-Hawks offense came alive, and slowly, but surely, extended their lead. TMC delivered a five point run fueled on V-Hawk attack errors and single kills by Britney Jones and Dougherty that brought the game to 18-17. Viterbo tallied three unanswered points appearing to put the game away. The Mustangs fired back and tightened the gap at 19-20. The V-Hawks seemed to put the game out of reach with a four-point run until TMC fought back again to tighten things at 23-24, forcing a match point. Unfortunately, the Mustangs' resilient offense just couldn't do the trick as TMC dropped the third game when Alicia Olsen of Viterbo delivered a decisive kill, forcing a fourth set.
The Mustangs looked to salvage the match in set four, as they started off strong displayed by a 3-0 early run. Viterbo answered back and forced an early tie at 4-4 and controlled the match until the Mustangs caught up and tied the set at 22-22. Sloppy play on part of the Mustangs extended the V-Hawks lead to 24-22 when TMC coughed up two attack errors. But in dramatic fashion, a Viterbo set error and a kill by Tori Callihan (Simi Valley, CA) tied the set at 24-24. From there, the V-Hawks rallied on two kills, accompanied by a Mustang service error, and brought the final score to 27-25, closing the night with a 3-1 victory.
"We're obviously frustrated and really don't want to be on this end of things," assessed Mustang coach Bobby Blanken. "I'm happy with the girl's performance as we led in all four games and met our goals by shutting out their outside hitters and finished out with a better attack percentage, but the small and intangible things prevented us from putting it away. We need to work on our mental errors."
The Mustangs need to regain the confidence that backed their 26-5 regular season record as they face #7 Indiana Wesleyan tomorrow at 6:00 PM (PST).
Since Indiana Wesleyan defeated CSU San Marcos in three sets on Wednesday night, TMC is still alive in their pool (see standings below). A Mustang victory on Thursday against the Indiana Wesleyan Wildcats and a Viterbo V-Hawk victory over CSU San Marcos would create a 3-way tie for second place and force a series of tie-breaking sets to be played late Thursday night. TMC's hopes of advancing to the single elmination portion of the 2012 NAIA National Championships are precarious, but still possible.
Current Pool F Standings:
Viterbo 2-0
Cal State San Marcos 1-1
Indiana Wesleyan 1-1
The Master's 0-2
For those who love details, below is the NAIA Tiebreaker procedure if three teams tie for second with a 1-2 record:
Tie Breaking Procedure (taken from the NAIA Volleyball Coaches Manual / 2012-13 / page 19) :
The following procedure is to be used only to determine place in pool play and cannot eliminate a team from competition:
In the situation where there are three teams tied for second place in the pool, the team judged to be superior by the procedure listed above shall be the bye team. The other two teams shall play one set to 25 points and the winner will play the bye team one set to 25 points. (Two 25 point sets total.)
