With the "Tanglewood" Season upon us, the Berkshire Eagle called lodging properties across the county to see how the summer was looking.
Titled, "Strong Tourism Season Expected This Year," Clarence Fanto highlighted special events, unique to this summer, which are helping to drive traffic into the inns.
North County is benefiting from MassMoCa's Wilco Solid Sound Festival, which was such a hit last year the concept is being repeated. Pittsfield and Great Barrington are each celebrating their 250th anniversaries with special programs.
And Tanglewood is filling three weekends prior to the arrival of the BSO, starting with the British Motorcar Festival the weekend of June 17th, Earth Wind and Fire the weekend of the 25th, and four James Taylor concerts leading into July 4th.
They also are helping the economy with several significant mid-week popular music shows, Steely Dan and Train.
For some Hampton Terrace quotes, click through to the article. Most of our weekends are already filled, but there are some openings still. Our "Mid-Week Special" of $199/night is filling the gaps between the weekends, as usual.
But there is still availability most weeks, so check with us.
Over 180 items to consider.....Tanglewood, theater and museum admissions, inn and hotel packages, dinners, summer camps, spa days, items from Berkshire retail shops and galleries....
Bidding has begun and it is all on-line. Bidding closes on June 5th, so you will know within 2 weeks if you have won your item.
BID ON A WEEKEND AT HAMPTON TERRACE! We donated a 2-night stay, worth $400+. Current bid is $120...so you might get a bargain visit...with all proceeds going to a good cause.
Some of the items are unique opportunities...not normally open to the public. For example, a chance to spend a day in the kitchen with a local chef, or tours of the private spaces and collections at some of the museums.
All proceeds will create a Berkshires Marketing Fund to replace shrinking state tourism marketing funds.
To keep our favorite venues, museums, restaurants and lodging establishments open and thriving, we all must all participate in the effort to keep our area on the tourism radar. That takes money, and if you look at the diversity of the auction items, you understand that this is an issue that everyone is taking very seriously.
So whether you are a local or a visitor, click below to see the auction items....and have fun bidding!
Roger St. Pierre, a free-lance UK writer, recently published an article in the Belfast Telegraph about a visit to Boston and the Berkshires. His review of his night at Hampton Terrace:
"Lenox is the place to stay in these parts. The site of Tanglewood – summer home of the Boston Symphony Orchestra – it's the inland alternative to the Hamptons for the rich and famous yet is affordable and unpretentious.
I'd recommend the delightfully renovated 1897 Hampton Terrace, a welcoming and elegant B&B whose ebullient proprietor, Stan Rosen, is an entertaining former jazz impresario who counts many of that music's greats among his personal friends. Style and service are both impeccable here."
About the jazz impresario part: Roger writes about a lot of topics, but he is very well known in music circles. He recently produced a six-part BBC radio series on American Music, but his first-person experience with British music dates back to the 60s, when he handled PR for the Jackson 5, James Brown, Bill Haley, Marvin Gaye and dozens of other iconic American acts touring the UK for the first time. He has written over 1000 album liner sleeves, and thousands of music articles for various magazines. He also has written two encyclopedias of music and the definitive biographies of many important musicians, including Jimi Hendrix, Bon Jovi and Madonna.
And, in 1969, he was co-promoter of the historic 'Peace For Christmas' concert, which headlined John Lennon's Plastic Ono Band – and outfit which included that night Eric Clapton, Keith Moon, George Harrison, Billy Preston, Alan White of Yes, Delaney & Bonnie, the Manfred Mann Band's Klaus Voorman and, of course, Yoko.
So......those of you who know me......know that I was in some kind of personal heaven hosting this guy in my living room. We shared wine, swapped stories and dropped names for hours in front of the Hampton Terrace fireplace.
Most recently, Roger has shared his love of music with a passion for travel....having visited over 100 countries and more than 35 states. He edits UK's Holiday and Leisure World, and writes hundreds of travel guides and reviews throughout the world.
So imagine our excitement to have "made his cut!"
Anyone heard of Google Alerts? It is very easy to sign up for an e-mail "ping" every time a certain phrase pops up anywhere on the Internet.
Blogging and Facebook posting are ways I keep in touch with our guests, expose Hampton Terrace to new customers, and raise Google search engine awareness.
So to measure my effectiveness, I want to see every time Berkshire, Berkshires, Lenox or Hampton Terrace are used on the Internet in any context. I am looking for my "reach."
First...and let's get this out of the way: Kate Middleton is from the Berkshires UK (pronounced "Barkshers") so I have received SO MANY NOTICES about her and William....that if anyone confiscated my laptop they might think I am a Royal Wedding stalker.
Secondly, Warren Buffet, the billionaire owner of Berkshire Hathaway has been in the news a lot lately...or so it seems...based on the number of articles currently being posted about a scandal in his company. Most people are probably not noticing....but every mention of his name somewhere on the web pings my Blackberry. Very irritating.
Lenox: I learned that the power went out yesterday in the subways under the Lenox Square Mall in Atlanta, they are still making Lenox china, the Lenox hotel in Boston has specials, and the Lenox Hill section of Harlem has a lot of stuff going on.
Most interesting, however, is how many Hampton Terraces are out there. I knew there was a massive Hampton Terrace Resort on the Savannah River near Augusta, GA at the turn of the century. It burned down, and as far as I can tell, we are the only Hampton Terrace "lodging" establishment in the last 100 years in the world.
But there is a Hampton Terrace (street) in North Hampton, Mass., a Hampton Terrace subdivision in Libertyville, IL, a Hampton Terrace Neighborhood Association in Tampa.....and Hampton Terrace Bed and Breakfast in Lenox, MA, located in the Berkshires!
That is what I am looking for!

With the bad comes the good. By all accounts, this was the worst winter on record in the Berkshires...over 100 inches of snow and temperatures that averaged under 20 degrees for three months. That caused the snow to pile higher and higher, causing damage to pretty much everything: roofs, roads, shrubs...
Now the good: all of the melting snow and runoff has caused a saturation of the ground that is resulting in the greenest, thickest grass I have ever seen. Bare trees have exploded in foliage.
Yesterday, we took Susan fishing for Mother's Day. Yes, that is what she asked for....so we drove from Lenox down to Benedict Pond in South County. The vistas...the valleys, pastures and rolling mountains were so vivid that if someone had painted them in oil....you just would not accept it as real.
On a related note, the road to the top of Mount Greylock opens in a week, a chance to see all of Western Massachusetts in one sweeping panoramic vista.
See you soon.
A lot of guests who come to Hampton Terrace bring their bicycles, and others probably will once they read an article that I happened to find on-line.
Hancock Shaker Village: Soon after setting out on the 26 mile round trip from Lenox, a short climb over Lenox Mountain yields a panoramic view of Stockbridge Bowl and the craggy face of Monument Mountain. Spend a couple of hours at Hancock Shaker Village, with its wonderfully preserved shops, kitchen, barns and heritage garden cue sheet map Stockbridge, Monterey and Tyringham: We start out past "Gilded Era" mansions in Lenox and through rural farmland on our way to popular Stockbridge. The ride continues along the edge of Beartown State Forest to tiny Monterey, then drops down to the Tyringham Valley. Have lunch in Lee before returning to the Apple Tree Inn along Undermountain Road, for a total of 45 miles. Cue sheet map Alford and Stockbridge: We check out of our rooms at the Apple Tree Inn in the morning, but leave our cars here as we head out on a 35 mile ride through Stockbridge and past the Norman Rockwell Museum. After cycling along the rapids of the Housatonic river, we pass through tiny Alford and stop for lunch in West Stockbridge. We often take a break from the 2 mile moderate climb out of West Stockbridge for a walk through the Berkshire Botanical Garden. This ride is 35 miles. cue sheet map
Here's the deal. Yes, you can go to Fenway in Boston. There are no tickets left so you pay 3 times face from Ace Tickets or StubHub.
Now that the Red Sox have their 0 and 35 start behind them, nothing that they could throw at us could be worse, right?
That was on purpose, I know. For the typical Red Sox fan, the sky is always falling. Theo Epstein is thinking...let's start with the season in the toilet...that way.....if the season ends that way...no one feels like the rug was yanked (pardon sincerely the pun).
Back to my point. After all, I run an inn, not a sports column.
The Boston Red Sox are on television just about every night. NESN, channel 1849. Every one of our rooms has a tv. But that also is not my point. The Berkshires have numerous sports bar options, so stay at Hampton Terrace, watch the game at a local watering hole, and use our terrific breakfasts to cure the hangover.
If you want to walk...the Olde Heritage Tavern down the street from us has cheap beer, good bar food and plenty of televisions, which will all be turned to the game.
Five minutes north of us is Halpern's Pub and Grub, voted the Best in the Berkshires in the sports bar category, and five minutes south of us is Lee's Locker Room...a place where I have personally watched many football playoff games and Superbowls with my twin boys. Great Barrington has "The Well," and if you are really serious about this, I will help you research a list that could be 5 times longer.
I mention Yankees in the headline. While it is probably true that the typical sports bar in the area will NOT be showing the YES Network....this IS a great area in which to WATCH a Red Sox-Yankees game. Why? Because the Berkshires are pretty evenly split RED/BLUE.
We are literally ten minutes from the New York state line and Albany television is more pervasive than stations in Springfield or elsewhere. So there ARE a lot of Yankee fans here. I would say until the Red Sox recent run, it was 50/50. Now, it is probably more 60/40 Red Sox...but that does not mean the bars are any less fun during a game.
So on Red Sox-Yankee nights, you will find the bars full and the crowd mixed, making a raucous atmosphere probably unlikely either in Boston or New York where only a brain-damaged (or soon to be brain-damaged) fan would walk into a bar in the other team's garb.
Welcome to the Berkshires...where we can help you have a great sports bar experience and provide the bed you need afterwards.
James Taylor lives in Lenox. We see him in the coffee shop, grocery store line.... of course, every summer at Tanglewood for multiple shows.
Many of our guests know this and ask.... why here? Notwithstanding the fact that among his most famous lines...
Now the first of December was covered with snow And so was the turnpike from Stockbridge to Boston Though the Berkshires seemed dream-like on account of that frosting With ten miles behind me and ten thousand more to go
So why does he live here, in a town of less than 5,000? I ran across an interview with him in Berkshire Living Magazine. Rather than paraphrase...here is the link.
Taylor's wife, Kim, was marketing director for the Boston Symphony, and much of her job centered around promoting Tanglewood, down the street. She is from Albany, an hour away, and went to college in North Hampton, an hour the other direction...so landing in the Berkshires was natural for her.
And for James as well, having spent part of his 20s in Stockbridge. He met Kim at Tanglewood in 1993 at a John Williams conducted Pops concert. They married in 2001.
But the deciding factor was when they had twin boys in 2002. They started looking for a place to raise their sons...and after careful consideration, and a couple of false starts in other places, they landed in Lenox.
Tanglewood itself is the major beneficiary of this decision. James performs multiple shows every summer, with the majority of the cash flow remaining at the venue as a contribution. This has amounted to millions of dollars.
But going beyond Tanglewood....little known is the fact that Taylor jumped into action within days of the Haiti earthquake to do what he could to help.
He arranged a private show at the Mahaiwe Theater in Great Barrington (680 seats), and said he would match all ticket proceeds with a personal donation. WAMC Northeast Public Radio broadcast the show live to solicit call-in donations. When the show sold out quickly, Taylor added a second show the next night. Total donations collected: $600,000. From the concept of the idea...to the end of the second show...less than a week.
Welcome to the Berkshires...where there the quality of life never ceases to amaze. Come visit!

Okay. I know we are supposed to be adults here. But come on...who can turn this down?
This weekend through May 8th at Hancock Shaker Village, near Lenox in the Berkshires. For INFORMATION
I promised when I started this Hampton Terrace blog that I would share reasons to come to the Berkshires. PARTIES.....outrageous parties....that anyone can attend.... is a HUGE reason.
This past weekend the art school, IS183, did it again. Themed "Anime Hothouse," and held in one of the very few remaining Vanderbilt mansions left in the world.... Every year this crowd throws the party to beat all parties. The thing is.... everyone dresses the theme.
I used to throw parties for a living in a community of 250,000 people. I always knew that throwing a party where people felt like they had to dress up..... was the path to a disaster. Whether people were too busy to think about costumes, too insecure, too pigeon-holed in their Polos and Talbot's outfits...I cannot know. They just did not work.
But not true here. Probably it is the fact that the Berkshires are a little Bohemian...lots of actors, artists, musicians, general crazy people...enough to create a critical mass that causes the rest of us (including me - yeah, button-downs, khakis and boat shoes) to drop the pretenses, grab a Scotch, and cake on the make-up.
Past themes have included "Hair Ball," and "Radioactive Bodega," both of which we attended. We could not go this year...but I am looking at hundreds of photographs, and the only one I do not see dressed to the hilt is Governor Deval Patrick... I can only assume that a photograph of him, dressed in Japanese anime', taken out of context, could be disasterous. A nice sensible blue sportcoat for the Gov...
So back to Berkshire parties. To get on the IS183 mailing list and learn more about the art school, its programs, and its parties, CLICK HERE.
Although the IS183 parties are the most "out there," other organizations in the area also have galas and events at least once per year which should be on your radar.
Shakespeare and Company, Berkshire Theatre Festival, Berkshire Film and Media Commission....I could go on and on.
They each take advantage of the great mansions available, the beautiful vistas, the "crowd that is willing to do anything..."
I did not mention this party in my blog as something to watch out for. I promise I will do a better job in the future of giving you a heads up.
Meanwhile, I suggest going to BerkshireLiving.com and signing up for their free newsletters and upcoming event notices.

Cover Level Questions:
What is 'Lifetime' Cover?
Just like humans, pets can develop long term or recurring illnesses such as diabetes or arthritis, that require regular and long term treatment, in some cases for the rest of the pet's life.
Our Lifetime plans cover ongoing veterinary fees for the life of your pet, as long as the policy is renewed each year and the appropriate premium is received.
Our lifetime cover policy is our most popular policy and provides essential vet fees cover up to the amount shown in the schedule per policy period - as well as a range of other benefits. Please see the Policy Benefits page for details
What is 'Time Limited' Cover?
Dogs and cats are very much part of family life and protecting your pets against the unexpected can certainly help cover any unexpected incidents. Insuring your pet can protect against any unforeseen costs that may arise and with the cost of vets fees continuing to rise insurance is well worth taking into consideration.
Our standard cover can provide protection for a limited period of time following illness or injury to your cat or dog. Claims are payable up to the amount shown in the schedule, for each condition, for the proper veterinary charges following treatment given by a qualified vet. Any costs incurred more than 365 days after the first onset of the condition, whether it is ongoing, chronic or recurring will not be covered.
This plan also features many more benefits including cover for loss by theft or straying and public liability. Please see the Policy Benefits page for details
What is 'Accident Only' Cover?
With our Accident Only policy, cover is provided if your pet is involved in an accident for the proper veterinary charges following treatment given by a qualified vet, or a qualified practitioner recommended by a vet, during the Policy Term including physiotherapy, treatment and referral.
This plan only covers vets fees following accidental injury; it does not provide the range of benefits offered by our other plans. Please see the Policy Benefits page for details
Insurance Questions:
How much is the excess?
The excess for each policy varies depending on where you live and your chosen level of cover. Simply request a quote and select the type of cover you require. You will then be presented with the list of benefits and your excess amount.
What age does my pet have to be for insurance with you?
We insure both cats and dogs from 5 weeks old. Any pet over 8 years old will automatically be put on our Senior plan, which is almost identical to the standard plan except that your pet will not be covered for death through illness or disease. Please see the Policy Benefits page for details
Are there any dogs you don't insure?
There are certain breeds we do not cover; use the following link to check: Dogs we don't insure. If your dog is on the list, or is crossed with any of these breeds, we are unfortunately unable to provide insurance.

text: Passing the blame after the fact is easy and fun. Lord knows there is plenty of blame to pass around for Thursday night's debacle. But I want to focus on Jay Gruden. The Bengals may have had 465 yards of offense, but this very well might have been Gruden's worst game as an OC. Five sequences on Thursday really bugged me about Gruden – 4 of the 5 could have won the game if Gruden didn't have a brain fart, and the fifth lost the Bengals the game. Let's take a look:

I earned my MS-Information Assurance from Iowa State University this past
May. It was a great experience straight out of undergrad and many companies
I interviewed with were highly impressed. We also had a number of people
that had been in industry looking to make the switch to InfoSec, as it
appears you are.
To my knowledge, no university currently offers a PhD in InfoSec.
I will recommend that you evaluate each of the programs that you are
considering carefully; the curricula vary greatly from school to school,
even among the NSA Centers of Excellence. Some of the programs seem (to put
it bluntly) pretty crappy while others can be highly specialized in your
particular interests.
If you have any more questions, please don't hesitate to ask either on the
list or to my personal address.

Subject: RE: MS in information security
I'm currently doing a MSc. in Information Security at the Royal Holloway
College, which is part of the University of London. The ISG (Information
Security Group) has an enormous reputation and the course is great!
The idea of the course is to be a foundation for the infosec professional.
So, instead of learning "on the fly" you can stop and organize the concepts
in your head, being able to discuss issues from secure application
development to ISMS, information security management and its relevance to
various industries.
It is a 1 year program full time, but also have the option of being 2 years
part time, which gives the advantage of combining experience on the market
(as you work) and the theoretical foundation. I found this a great way to
come back to college and learn a little more.
More info at http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/. I hope it helps.

Subject: MS in information security
I noticed that the question of 'CISSP or degree' got a lot of feedbacks and
comments. I am also considering more education in order to enter security
field. I already have BS degree from good school and working for a IT
company working with various applications. However, I have always wanted to
be a little bit more technical and be exposed to more research-like
environment. Not sure if I want Ph.D., but definitely looking at one of
those MS in information security. Georgia Tech and several other reputable
universities offer such program.
After working almost 2 years in industry, I know that experience is really
important and that I can acquire the knowledge myself through many sources
although I don't go back to school to do it. On the other hand, the idea of
getting higher or specialized education and degree is really appealing.
Also, since my current work does not have anything to do with security,
getting more education might offer me a better chance of getting in to
security field than studying on my own, getting some certs and try to
convince companies to believe that I know about security.

Hotels in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates - your base to discover the city.
The capital city of the United Arab Emirates acts as a sensible sibling to counter the hubris of neighboring Dubai, but comes with all the same bells and whistles of this emerging sunshine destination. Abu Dhabi's up-and-coming shopping scene will certainly surprise you. In addition, its newly developed entertainment landmarks, like the Corniche, or its plethora of amusement parks, are enough to make even Dubai stand up and applaud.

Magazine Article | March 19, 2013
A Marriage Of Technology & Profitability
By Mike Monocello, editor in chief, Business Solutions Magazine
Historically, our annual Partner Program Insider serves you in two ways. First, we give you a helpful overview of the most significant trends in key markets. Second, you're presented with information from many vendors and distributors about their partner programs and key offerings should you decide to take advantage of the key trends in those markets.
During Q1 of this year, I've spent a lot of time in meetings and on calls with VARs, MSPs, vendors, distributors, and even end users in an attempt to closely understand the trends facing you, our reader. In many of the markets we cover, technological innovations are not just disrupting, but reshaping the industry and what it means to be a solutions provider. In short, this year the trends are more important than ever. You probably feel this with every customer interaction you have. Therefore, on the following pages you'll find great tips and advice from a variety of different industry experts. Having compiled all the data, I'm very impressed with the level of detail and clarity around the information shared. It's my hope that you find the information relevant and actionable.
However, simply selling new technologies is only part of the battle, particularly when you account for ever-shrinking margins. No matter your area of focus, profitability has to be top of mind. In the networking world, managed services models have been around (and covered in our magazine) for years. This model of bundling your "stuff" — hardware, software, services, etc. — has proven to be a key to winning the profitability game because you go from receiving one lump sum to getting paid on a monthly basis for years.
Despite the clear benefits, research shows that there's plenty of room for solutions providers to get more of their customers onto this model. In other markets (retail and hospitality, for instance), the "as a Service" model hasn't been widely adopted or even really talked about until recently. This must change.
You can adjust your line card to closely align with your customer's needs. That's peachy. But you're missing a huge opportunity to greatly improve the health of your business if you don't consider bundling everything you have into a service/subscription for which you can get paid on a monthly basis.
As you use this guide to identify or validate the trends and technology changes you need to make to your business, don't overlook the "as a Service" business model that has the power to do so much more for your business.

*I couldn't find any recipes for Peanut and Kaffir Lime ice cream online so this was a bit of a gamble. At first I was nervous that the ice cream would taste too peanut buttery (in a bad way) but I think I used just the right amount of peanut butter. Any more than 3 TB might be too much. If I made this flavor again, I might try adding crushed/ground peanuts instead of peanut butter.

Brian May in a Box.
Ease Of Use
This is an awesome pedal, few knobs but a world of versatility.
Gain, Treble, Mod, Level,and Pickup type controls all very responsive are lowered from the foot control.
7 modes in green mode, and 7 modes in red mode, certain modes make use of the wah type filter function on the pedal.
Thick instruction manual that tells about all modes and controls. My pedal is stock and it should stay that way.
Overall getting a sound you like or one identical to May's is just a tweak away.
I use this amp with a valveking 112, a Gb Diablo 100, a peavey classic 50 and a slew of others, I'd always use this pedal on the clean channel, You can get convincing triplet effects, acoustic, and even the solo tones from Bohemian Rhapsody with the ease of using a stomp box. These digitech artist series pedals are much easier to set than a true multi effects unit, but the expense of simplicity keeps it from being used in all modes in one song. (there is a footswitch for it available)
The effects are all splendid and can make even the crappiest amp sound like fuzzy heaven, or better yet the "Deacy" amp. My favorite modes are the two Bohemian Rhapsody solo modes....killer, responsive and the ability to play at such a low volume unlike a true Vox ac30.
There is also a control that calibrates the levels for what type of pickup you are using.
The power suplly unit crapped out on me afer a year, but a lot of Digitech supplie have, thats certainly not good though since this pedal doesn't use batteries.
Customer Support
Only dealt with digitech once, about a power supply and they were very helpful.
Liked about it
-Very authentic sounding
-Cool aesthetics
-Cool accesories too.
Didn't like
-Kind of large and heavy
-Knobs are kind of small

Construction on the new bridge at Shallowford Road over South Chickamauga Creek will force the current bridge being used by motorists down to one lane starting Monday.
From Monday through Wednesday, crews will be setting beams on the new bridge, forcing the contractor to intermittently close one lane of the existing adjacent bridge now in use by motorists, according to the Tennessee Department of Transportation. The bridges are located near the Airport Road intersection.
The temporary closures will take place between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. each day, TDOT said, but one lane of traffic will remain open at all times, and flaggers will be present to assist with traffic control.
The project is scheduled to be finished in June 2012.

William Sullivan, Ph.D.
Professor of Pharmacology & Toxicology
Professor of Microbiology and Immunology
Description and summary of research focus of the laboratory
We study the regulation of gene expression in a protozoan parasite called Toxoplasma gondii. Toxoplasma, a relative of the malaria parasite, causes congenital birth defects, as well as opportunistic infection in AIDS, cancer chemotherapy, and organ transplant patients. There is also recent evidence suggesting that this parasite is linked to neurological disorders, such as schizophrenia and behavior modification. We hypothesize that the proteins controlling gene expression at epigenetic, transcriptional, and translational levels may represent novel drug targets to fight Toxoplasma and other infectious diseases. We are particularly interested in the molecular mechanisms that govern how the parasite switches between its rapidly proliferating form and its latent cyst form.
Since the conversion to the cyst form is a stress-induced process, my laboratory has focused on investigating cellular stress pathways in this pathogen. We have discovered that eukaryotic initiation factor-2 (eIF2) phosphorylation plays a key role in cyst formation; eIF2 regulates protein translation in response to stress. We have also discovered numerous histone modifying enzymes that function to alter gene expression during stress-induced cyst formation, suggesting that epigenetic mechanisms also mediate cyst formation. Ongoing studies continue to examine the contributions of translational and transcriptional control in this clinically relevant protozoan. Not only does our research promise to illuminate new approaches to eliminate latent infections, but it also will provide valuable insight into the evolution of cellular signaling and gene regulation.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2014
Where did the English Ozment family come from? What is the English Ozment family crest and coat of arms? When did the Ozment family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Ozment family history?The name Ozment arrived in England after the Norman Conquest of 1066. The Ozment family lived in Norfolk. The name, however, is a reference to Osmandville, on the River Bire in Bessin, Normandy, the family's place of residence prior to the Norman Conquest of England in 1066.
A multitude of spelling variations characterize Norman surnames. Many variations occurred because Old and Middle English lacked any definite spelling rules. The introduction of Norman French to England also had a pronounced effect, as did the court languages of Latin and French. Therefore, one person was often referred to by several different spellings in a single lifetime. The various spellings include Osmond, Osmund, Osmont, Osmonde, Osmand, Osman, Ozment and many more.
First found in Norfolk, where the Ozment family held a family seat from early times, having been granted lands by Duke William of Normandy, their liege Lord, for their distinguished assistance at the Battle of Hastings in 1066 A.D.
This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Ozment research. Another 196 words(14 lines of text) are included under the topic Early Ozment History in all our PDF Extended History products.
More information is included under the topic Early Ozment Notables in all our PDF Extended History products.
Many English families left England, to avoid the chaos of their homeland and migrated to the many British colonies abroad. Although the conditions on the ships were extremely cramped, and some travelers arrived diseased, starving, and destitute, once in the colonies, many of the families prospered and made valuable contributions to the cultures of what would become the United States and Canada. Research into the origins of individual families in North America has revealed records of the immigration of a number of people bearing the name Ozment or a variant listed above:
Ozment Settlers in the United States in the 19th Century
The Ozment Family Crest was acquired from the Houseofnames.com archives. The Ozment Family Crest was drawn according to heraldic standards based on published blazons. We generally include the oldest published family crest once associated with each surname.

Dearest Nintendo and Square-Enix,
Ah, I remember fondly the days of my first home console, the NES. There were many great Japanese games we enjoyed together. Among these were JRPGs, the main reason I fell in love with games in the first place and decided to be a game developer. For me it was not until Super Mario RPG and Final Fantasy VII that I really got into the genre, but I've loved many JRPGs from 1985-2000.
But lately things feel different. You say you still love me, but when we're together I feel like you care more about someone else. Reggie proclaimed from the mountaintops of E3 that WiiU will definitely be appreciated by core gamers and make up for what the Wii lacked so much. And it's ok, I know both of you have tried with games like Metroid Prime 3, Final Fantasy XII&XIII, Sin&Punishment 2, and so on. However, Nintendo, the way you have handled operation rainfall—the desperate plea of your few remaining old fans to localize Xenoblade, Last Story, and Pandora Tower to North America—has not only left us sad, but questioning where your heart lies.
In marketing you have what is called a "target demographic." This is basically just the type of person that you want to reach with your products. I know you know this. What I don't know is who your target demographic is anymore. Nintendo and SqEnix(Japan)--- you seem to be confused with who you are selling. I understand that I was once a pre-teen/teenager when I first fell in love with your JRPG games. But I'm not anymore. And the teens of this day are looking for different things than we were back then. So it's difficult to tell you to move on and to find a new lover, because I'm worried that will not happen and we'll both end up lonely. Nintendo, we paid your bills when the rest of the world shunned you in the N64 and Gamecube era. Just because the people that were once in your demographic are now in a new one, does not mean you should leave us. Especially not if we are still loyal fans. At this point, to show you true love, we will let you leave us if you find someone else that makes you happy. But let's also make this clear: be honest. Do not say you care about the core and do nothing for us. Do not say thanks for enthusiasm for operation rainfall, but we will not release the games in NA. The big take-away from this letter is that when marketing these days, one must be honest about everything instead of two-facing it. There's still time to save face, Reggie, please come out with an honest press release. People may still hate you for shunning their interests, but they will forgive you and move on if you are honest and say that you are marketing your products to someone else now, like soccer moms, for instance. You respect people more with actions than with words, and moreover with your intent. In America, our great recession has caused a some to be bankrupt, but exposed many to be morally bankrupt. People are buying values and ideas these days not just products. Sell hope or honesty with what you sell and you'll be much better for it.
Now, SqEnix, you seem to have driven off the great game makers that Nintendo of America is also shunning. Why does Sakaguchi-san not want to work with you anymore? The Xeno- games have migrated to Monolith from Squaresoft where they started with my all time favorite, Xenogears. See Xenoblade image <---to the side. Why would you deny us this Nintendo of America?
For your main series, SqEnix, you seem to be favor androgynous emo kid characters that appeal to a limited audience. Also, you seem to have traded exploration for a linear story. I appreciate the willingness to try new things, but stick to the essence of what works with
Final Fantasy each time. This is called marketing to "personas." You could think of it like Bartle's player types. If a game appeals mostly to one type, like say explorers, then the next game in the series should still appeal to explorers not achievers. My guess is that you are making games that appeal to a small niche demographic in Japan without regard for playing type. This is totally ok, but make it another game instead of your main series. Final Fantasy has an audience that is more than just Hikikomori people in Japan. There's a wide reach of Final Fantasy fans here in the US where I live. I know men and women, young and old, hipsters, manly-men, shy people, outgoing people that have all been into Final Fantasy at one point. Like I told Nintendo, you do not need to cover all the bases. One big easy way to fail is to try to please everyone. But it stands to reason that you may want to make the Final Fantasy games appeal to more of the existing fan-base if your goal is to make such grand productions that are big international successes. XIII may have sold well, but it also may have cost you fans.
As my last plea to you two companies that I have loved dearly in the past: know your audience(and target them with your intentions), be honest with them, and treat your products like an investment in future customers. That's what this whole fan thing is all about. Investing in the satisfaction of customers so they come back for more. There's nothing new business wise about that, but too many companies have forgotten it.
Thank you, but your fans are with a different company.
PS I have enclosed a Power Up of Knowledge with this message that will help you on your journey.
So what's next for JRPGs? Japanese seem to recognize the problems with their beloved genre of games, but have yet to really do anything about it. My guess is that it will be others that revive this genre. After all, the fans have not really found another place to go that will keep them forever. With more attractive JRPGs out there, gaijin (non-Japanese) will flock to gaijin-made games. And I wouldn't be surprised if Japanese gamers did so too.
My company's main game series "Saturday Morning RPG" seeks to revitalize the JRPG genre. Some aspects of our game that should appeal to the new JRPG audience are our references to retro real-world nostalgia and fresh environments. Our games have a goofy tongue-in-cheek humor to keep things from being dull. We are planning a multi-platform release and bite-size episodes that have interwoven story but allow people to jump in at anytime and carry over gameplay progress.
It would be rather pretentious of me to say that Saturday Morning RPG will be the savior of the JRPG. Ultimately, it is up to the fans of the genre to decide that. I personally feel that it will take more than one company to do it. For what it's worth, I'll do my part. But don't take my word for it, see for yourself:

You have my sword, Sir Youngblood. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a Japanese resurgence/renaissance with the pending release of the Wii U as its catalyst. Major hardware releases seem like the perfect time to introduce new IP or long awaited sequels to existing ones. Nintendo's supposed desire to replicate the SNES in its prime brought back memories of Chrono Trigger, Secret of Evermore, Super Mario RPG, DKC series, Killer Instinct, etc. If the first year of the Wii U doesn't look like the last year of the SNES software-wise I will be very disappointed.
Also, do you think part of their decision not to release Xenoblade and Last Story is because it'd steal away some of the attention Zelda will be getting from RPG fans this year?
|Bryan Taylor
Of all the gaming systems i've ever owned, i've played my Wii the least... and by a great expansive divide. Realizing this, I shall mourn until the day comes that I can trust Nintendo with my money once again.
I fear that day may never come though. The target market of the modern day N has shifted to a crowd of people who care not about gaming brand loyalty. Many of them honestly think Nintendo is the device name and Wii is the company name. Good luck relying on them for future profits Nintendo... I hope you live long enough to learn your lesson from this. If you don't, then have the good grace to go out like Sega and spread your historic goodness to other vendors.
Friends don't let friends kill Mario...

Cheezus crakers, play more games on portables man, and I'd rather Square-Enix just do what they like, which has always been their way, without any fan input rather than seeing them pander to any set demographic, the entitled western gamers and their juvenile obsession with being mature in particular. There is enough of that garbage going around in western games already, I take your emo kid stereotype and raise you a squad of macho grit. Watching the Versus XIII trailer is about the most excited I have ever been for a RPG and I take it regardless of what the protagonist character model looks like, because at the end of the day that jumble of polygons has no effect on my enjoyment of a videogame, I reserve that role for gameplay.
Operation Rainfall might have been a failure but those games are being localized for a European release, so just import them and hack your Wii so that it can play games from other regions, it is easy and takes 10 minutes I hear. If you really love the Xeno series that much then doing that small an effort should be nothing. Your beef should be with NoA, not Nitendo in general because it was NoJ that funded those games making their existence a possibility, NoA just doesnt want to localize them.
Funnily enough I finally grabbed Sin and Punishment 2 from my backlog the other day and it is the best game that I have played all year, by a wide margin, I adore Nintendo for funding that Japanese treasure, among other things. That, Donkey Kong Country and about a dozen other Wii games have convinced me that the Wii is as good a core system as the Gamecube was in hindsight. I have no sore feelings towards Nintendo or Square, they've both been very good to me on home systems as well handhelds this generation.
|Alan Youngblood
@Kamruz: I actually do play a lot of portable RPGs these days. I really like what SqEnix has done there. Things like The World Ends With You and Crisis Core are amazing games.
And yes, my beef is mainly with NoA, rather than Nintendo over all or the Japanese HQ.
@William: That is possible that they are holding out for Zelda, although kind of silly/stupid. Zelda has not released yet for the Wii (I realize the timing might coincide too close after them dragging their feet though). Even if they did release at the same time, it might actually help the games rather than hurt them.
@Bryan: Yeah, it's sad. There are some people like Kamruz that still support the companies, but there's a lot of us that are "breaking up" with them to extend my tongue-in cheek metaphor. Someone will fill this market gap, I guess I'm just telling Nintendo and SqEnix to do there part since they have a lot of long time fans. @Kamruz, I wasn't suggesting they pander to lots of people, but more or less find their ideal customer and appeal to them with focus. I'm ok with Final Fantasy games trying new things, but you can't really call it the same thing if it's a completely different game. @Bryan I think you have told me before that FF13 was basically a different game that got branded with FF logo. Whether others agree/disagree, just you bringing that up says that they've lost their direction. The Spirits Within was a cool film, but a terrible business venture that has set Square on a downward spiral.
|Aaron Truehitt
I just don't see them saling because the "core" gamers are a very small minority on the Wii. These games would do a lot better on the PS3, especially if they turn out to be very high quality titles. So, I see why NoA wouldn't do it. It's sad, but it is what it is. I put the blame on this fact though. Developers shoot aroudn consoles to much. Main series get thrown around on each platform, causing gamers to have to split their funds for each platform they gone on. It's just plain silly.
|Daniel Balmert
It wouldn't make sense at all from a marketing perspective. If you are honest, you only lose potential customers. You don't stand to gain anything that you weren't already gaining by making casual games for soccer moms while some hardcore gamers get duped into buying it because of the Nintendo logo.
I for one wouldn't give them my business based on, "Oh, he's being honest now. Sure I'll buy the next Zumba Dance Party. He deserves my money."
Their games need to appeal to a broad enough audience to make back the crap-ton of money they spend on their blockbusters. You might as well write a letter to Steven Spielberg asking the same thing: "You used to make ET, now you make films that aren't really classic or targeted at me. Just be honest and tell me you don't make movies for me."
The article is a veiled passive aggressive ultimatum sprinkled with flakes of self promotion. I too hate Square/Nintendo's new direction(s), so I stopped buying their games. There's hardly room for this much brand loyalty in an industry that changes rapidly every ~3 years.
The people who made the games you love either no longer work or aren't with the same team/company. You put way too much stock in the brand rather than the individual "team magic" that really creates classic awesome games.

Oh dear. Remember how funny Scary Movie was? Not very, right? Thankfully, Date Movie comes billed as being from "two of the six writers" from the Scream-riffer – affording you ample warning to keep a wide, wide berth. And, with 'talent' reduced by four, the humour's diluted into... Fat suits! Fart noises! Gross stuff! It's about as funny as having mustard rubbed into your eyeballs.
The random, frat-boy "spoofing" of every '90s rom-com only makes you wish you were watching them instead, while its hyperactive tour of dead-eyed, MTV celeb-reality culture doesn't so much lampoon as copy it – with extra penis gags. In the country of the bland, the one-eyed trouser snake is king.

Female impersonator Ongina ran the race with us for the first season of RuPaul's Drag Race on the Logo Channel. She schooled us with Drag U right after and came to town twice to shake a tail feather at Spin Nightclub. There is a serious side to the performer and in this exclusive interview Ongina sounds off about AIDS, drag and love. Here is his story behind the makeup of Ryan Palao.
Jerry Nunn: Hi, Ong. Did you watch the finale of RuPaul's Drag Race at a party?
Ongina: No, I have full time job so I worked late. I came home, waited for my husband and watched the finale together. It was quiet night.
JN: What do you do?
O: I am a visual merchandiser for a specialty retail store. I have been with the company for five years.
JN: How long have you been with your partner?
O: Just since August of last year.
JN: What did you think about Raja winning?
O: I like that she won because she is a lot closer to my type of drag. She represents an illusion that a lot of people should embrace the same as people that wear big wigs in pageants. I think they did a pretty good job of casting different types of queens this season. It reminds me of Nina Flowers and I being so different. I have known Raja for a few years since I moved to Los Angeles. She was one of the first few performers that I saw in LA. I fell in love with her.
JN: Would you ever grow your hair out?
O: The thing is that I can and I have. I have even Japanese straightened my hair so it has been wavy and cut in different lengths with a shaggy style. It is curly, it's dead and feels like a Brillo pad. It is hard to manage. I would rather shave it and not have to mess with it.
JN: How many hats do you have in your house?
O: I have at least ten containers with hats in the closet. They used to be in the kitchen cupboards because I wasn't using them. My fiancé moved into a bigger apartment now with a walk in closet.
JN: So you are getting married?
O: I am getting married! He "put a ring on it."
JN: Do you have a date set?
O: We are planning for Sept 10, 2011.
JN: So coming up soon.
O: It is coming up. We have just a few more months to plan it. It is going to be a reception dinner with friends and exchanging of vows, appreciating the love I found with him. I am very happy.
JN: Congratulations on that. You did an HIV + Me project on Logo correct?
O: I am currently hosting webisodes called HIV + Me. It is a project where I talk to HIV positive individuals and they talk about their stories of getting the news, people living with it, coming out to their friends and family. Basically every single person has a different story. I think that is very important for people to see these kinds of stories so they don't feel alone, isolated or not knowing how to deal with such big news when they find out they are positive. It also teaches people to be aware of the disease that is still part of our lives. It teaches if you are positive to take the necessary steps to get better. If you are negative it can educate you that it can still happen to anyone, gay lesbian, straight, bi, woman, man, child, fat thin, tall, short, and cross-eyed. Everyone can get it and it is very important to tell people that it's okay if you are and if you are not then protect yourself so you stay negative.
JN: You were diagnosed back in 2006?
O: Yes, it was 2006 in April. When it happened I took the news very lightly. I was basically ready for the news because I knew something was wrong with me, especially after Googling my symptoms and having unprotected sex. I put the puzzle together and realized I was sick because it was a mistake of trusting someone telling me that they were negative while they were positive. I got a phone call from the clinic after being tested and they told me I had to go back. I knew that would be the information that I would receive. I had to do what I had to do to stay healthy and live a long life that I wished and plan to do. I went through a few months of depression after finding out for about six months. I was sad, depressed and isolated myself from my friends and family. I had to take it as a sign or rebirth for me and keep moving forward. You can't regret what happened and have to move forward. That is what I had to do.
JN: That is the message you conveyed on the video on Logotv.com.
O: The videos are very well put together and executed. I get emotional at times when interviewing these people because every single person is different in their experience. They share personal information like I am sharing with you. It gets more than a little emotional sometimes.
JN: Do you have a website?
O: I need a new webmaster so if you know of someone that can donate their time let me know. It needs to be updated. I am an avid Twitterer, Facebooker, so I have a fan page if people want to follow me and see what I am doing.
JN: Do you help with AIDS fundraisers currently?
O: I try not to bite off more than I can chew because it gets a little hectic with a full time job. With the first season of Drag Race I won that challenge and I was able to give back with the MAC campaign to the Harvey Milk High School. I try to give back when I asked to do volunteer work as far as my time. I do get asked to show up as Ongina to host a party, etc. When I can I do. I can't say yes to everything or I would probably lose my mind. I mainly do the work in LA because it is so easy to get around.
JN: You travel a lot touring so how do you feel regionally that the perception of AIDS is these days?
O: It's sad because as a person who is HIV positive and come out on national TV about my status, I still see fear in places that I travel. People sometimes share personal information with me in secret because they are not ready to inform other people about their status. Sometimes their parents or friends don't know about them. I always tell them, "When you are ready you will know and you will be okay." It is up to them when to tell people but I think the fear is still there that someone will think differently about them. It is the same fear that I had. I did do it in front of a million people watching Drag Race on season one but I did it in the heat of the moment of winning such an amazing prize. This was really close to my heart and I was a living example of why I believe so much in the MAC AIDS fund.
JN: So there is still a stigma that you have seen?
O: Yes, there is. It's okay that people are afraid but one day like me they won't be afraid any more. Before I met my husband, who is HIV negative and very understanding of my status, we are very knowledgeable of protecting each other, it was difficult.
JN: How do you stay healthy right now?
O: I am currently taking a once a day remedy Atripla. I am a hypochondriac so anything that is wrong with me I call my doctor immediately. I have a really close relationship with my doctor. I think it is important to have a doctor that believes in your wellbeing. It is key to living a healthy life. Also, getting the support from your family is important. It has been a liberating experience to come out of the closet again. This is me, Ongina and Ryan, either you love it or you don't.
JN: I didn't think about it as coming out twice before talking to you.
O: It is coming out twice. The reason it was so hard is like "Hey mom, I'm gay! Oh and by the way I'm a drag queen and to top it all off I am HIV positive."So you can see why there is so much fear and why people hide in the closet in many different ways. I guess I came out three times. I would hide my heels in my backpack and act like I was going out to the movies!
JN: You are coming back to town this summer.
O: I love Boystown. Rob Hoffman and Jade have treated me like family at Spin Nightclub. This will be my third time going there. Now I get to come when it's not twelve degrees.
JN: What date will it be?
O: June 25 for a Saturday night then join them for the Pride parade on Sunday on their float. I will have to find the biggest hat because those floats are really busy with hunky guys dancing all over the place so I have to stand out. Maybe I will have another contest on who can make me the biggest hat and I will wear it. Third time should be a charm!

So I'm mulling Masai Ujiri's lengthy to-do list now that he's got the big job, and it occurs to me that he's going to need to build a depth chart immediately. I'm going to help him out here, but in what I think is a more useful fashion that the norm.
An ordinary chart simply lists all your players by position, then by order of skill, from quality starter (A) to backup (B) to cross-your-fingers (C). What I propose is to imagine a 50-win team's chart, then map all current Raps onto it – or not.
I'll illustrate with the position of small forward. Our normal depth chart looks like this:
(A) Rudy Gay
(B) Landry Fields
(C) Linas Kleiza
but our 50-win team looks like this:
(A) Rudy Gay
(B) [open]
(C) [open]
In other words, Fields, Pietrus and Kleiza shouldn't even dress for a playoff-bound team (we'll call players like them "On the outs"), and Ujiri must plug those holes.
Let's quickly walk through the other positions:
Point Guard
(A) Kyle Lowry (barely; I thought about bumping him down a rung, but he ended the season well)
(B) [open]
(C) [open]
On the outs: S. Telfair, J. Lucas
Shooting Guard
(A) DeMar DeRozan
(B) [open]
(C) Terrence Ross (I hope I'm wrong about him; I'd be very happy to see him pushing DD by Game 60 next year)
On the outs: A. Anderson (quality guy, but when his shot disappears, his value plummets)
Power Forward
(A) [open]
(B) Amir Johnson (I love Amir, but he's better suited as all-purpose First Big Off The Bench)
(C) Quincy Acy
On the outs: A. Bargnani
(A) Jonas Valanciunas
(B) [open]
(C) Aaron Gray (borderline; he's lost a step, and didn't have it to lose)
There you have it – the starters for our imaginary 50-win squad are respectable enough, but team depth is a huge issue. Flipping the telescope around, we've got way too many overpaid players on the current roster who can't make our playoff team, and tough decisions will need to be made, quickly.
What do you think of this slightly off the wall method of building a depth chart? Have I devalued someone you like? Let us know in the Comments.

shwetak - Member Since: Nov 2007
Its important for u to first understand the job profile of the respective accountant based on his job description and accordingly determine wat aspects are related to his job and try to go deep into it to thorough ur understanding.
I would suggest u to first understand the working of an accountant, his duties, responsibilities, and every little aspect associated with his working. This will help u to work and decide upon the standard parameters.
All the best.

Protons and electrons are equal in an atom's natural state.
The atomic number tells how many protons an atom has. That determines its identity as one element or another. It will also have that many electrons in its orbitals, at least to start with.
The number of electrons does not determine an atom's identity. Rather, this determines how elements will react and bond with each other.
Swapping and sharing electrons is how atoms interact. Water, which is not an element, is made up of hydrogen (Element 1) and oxygen (Element 8) sharing electrons. You probably already knew that.

Ike James, Lowell
Lowell's Ike James makes a diving tackle against Hobart in Week 6, where the Brickies put up the most points against a very tough Red Devils defense. James is third on the team with 39 tackles heading into tonight's game against Munster.
