Pixim's new logos make it easy for camera manufacturers to show their cameras are powered by Pixim's Digital Pixel System® technology.
Mountain View, Calif. - July 13, 2011 - Pixim Inc., a leading provider of imaging chips for enterprise security cameras, unveiled two new brand logos today. The new logos feature the recognizable, stylized "Pixim" from the company's corporate logo with the words "Powered by" in italics on top. The logos are designed to be used on the marketing materials, product, packaging, and spec sheets of camera manufacturers who build cameras based on Pixim's chip technology. The first logo is Powered by Pixim while the second logo is Powered by Pixim Seawolf. Seawolf is Pixim's latest chip product.
"I will use the powered-by logo because it sends the strong message to our customers that they are buying Bolide cameras with Pixim technology," explains Alexandro Salinas, Latin America sales manager for Bolide Technology Group.
Pixim's entire line of chip products are based on its Digital Pixel System® technology which enables video security cameras to achieve the highest levels of performance, delivering high-quality images, natural color, and lower compression rates across all lighting conditions. In traditional cameras, individual pixels cannot adjust to highlights and lowlights in the same scene. With Digital Pixel System technology, however, each pixel automatically adjusts to produce an optimal exposure for all illumination levels, including very bright areas and dark-shadowed areas simultaneously.
Cameras based on Seawolf will work in any lighting conditions right out of the box. They can handle backlight situations, capture realistic color, and eliminate glare. Additionally, Seawolf cameras require just 0.1 lux of illumination to produce usable, color images at a full 30 frames per second. Users of IP cameras will benefit from reduced motion artifacts due to Seawolf's global electronic shutter.
"The words 'Powered by Pixim' say everything. They speak to Pixim's strong technology," says Raj Sarkar, product manager for deView Electronics. "We'll be using these logos for our Pixim-powered cameras."
"The new logos are based on Pixim's corporate brand, so our partners can benefit from Pixim's extensive branding efforts," says John Monti, Pixim's vice president of marketing and business development. "The new logos make it clear to camera purchasers that they are buying the best cameras for any lighting condition."
About Pixim
Pixim Inc. has been developing innovative imaging technology for enterprise security cameras for more than 12 years. Pixim's patented Digital Pixel System® technology empowers hundreds of thousands of pixels to act like individual, self-adjusting cameras. This all-digital system enables Pixim-powered cameras to efficiently capture high resolution video in natural color, regardless of lighting condition.

WEDNESDAY, Dec. 11, 2013 (HealthDay News) -- If you were to switch from vegetarianism to meat-eating, or vice-versa, chances are the composition of your gut bacteria would also undergo a big change, a new study suggests.
The research, published Dec. 11 in the journal Nature, showed that the number and kinds of bacteria -- and even the way the bacteria behaved -- changed within a day of switching from a normal diet to eating either animal- or plant-based foods exclusively.
"Not only were there changes in the abundance of different bacteria, but there were changes in the kinds of genes that they were expressing and their activity," said study author Lawrence David, an assistant professor at the Institute for Genome Sciences and Policy at Duke University.
Trillions of bacteria live in each person's gut. They're thought to play a role in digestion, immunity and possibly even body weight.
The study suggests that this bacterial community and its genes -- called the microbiome -- are extraordinarily flexible and capable of responding swiftly to whatever is coming its way.
"The gut microbiome is potentially quite sensitive to what we eat," David said. "And it is sensitive on time scales shorter than had previously been thought."
David said, however, that it's hard to tease out exactly what that might mean for human health.
Another expert agreed.
"It's nice to have some solid evidence now that these types of significant changes in diet can impact the gut microflora in a significant way," said Jeffrey Cirillo, a professor of microbial and molecular pathogenesis at the Texas A&M Health Science Center College of Medicine in Bryan, Texas. "That's very nice to see, and it's very rapid. It's surprising how quick the changes can occur."
Cirillo said it was also intriguing how fast the microbiome seemed to recover. The study found that gut bacteria were back to business as usual about a day after people stopped eating the experimental diet.
For the study, researchers recruited six men and four women between the ages of 21 and 33. For the first four days of the study, they ate their usual diets. For the next five days, they switched to eating either all plant-based or all animal-based foods. They then went back to their normal eating habits before switching to the other diet pattern.
The animal-based diet resulted in the biggest changes to gut bacteria. It spurred the growth of 22 species of bacteria, while only three bacterial species became more prominent in the plant-based diet.
The researchers don't fully understand what the shifts mean, but, they said, some made sense. For example, several types of bacteria that became more prevalent with the animal-based diet are good at resisting bile acids. The liver makes bile to help break down fat.
Another type of bacteria, which became more common in the plant-based diet, is thought to be sensitive to fiber intake.
The researchers speculated that the bacterial shifts might explain why fatty diets have been linked to diseases like Crohn's and ulcerative colitis. More studies are needed, however, before they can say for sure.

On Wednesday, Feb. 7, from 7:30 - 9:30 p.m., Dave Perry will present "Postcards from Valencia" at the Manhasset Bay YC. Sponsored by the Yacht Racing Association of Long Island Sound (YRA of LIS), this will be an exciting insiders update on the America's Cup Action. Perry will provide live footage, insights into who's hot and who's not, and an explanation of all the action which begins this April. There will be a Q and A session, in which Dave will answer questions on any aspect of the America's Cup or sailboat racing in general. Dave is currently the Rules Advisor and Afterguard Coach for Victory Challenge, the Swedish America's Cup team. Dave is also the current U.S. Match Racing Champion. Back in August of last year, Dave was in Port Washington, competing at the Knickerbocker Cup, where he tuned up for subsequent wins in match races around the U.S. and the world. There will be a cash bar from 6-7:30 p.m., then the presentation, Q and A. Space is limited to call the YRALIS office at 767-9240 for a reservation. Or mail reservations and check to: YRALIS, 455 Main Street, Port. Cost of the seminar is $20 for YRA members and $25 for non-members. In the just-finished US SAILING's 2007 Rolex Miami OCR, the USA won three gold medals, one silver and two bronze. From Jan. 21 - 27, 855 competitors from 49 countries, campaigned for the next Olympic and Paralympic Games. The Grade 1 ISAF (International Sailing Federation) event featured 14 Olympic and Paralympic classes and were raced in 49er, 470 (men and women), Finn, Laser, Laser Radial, Neil Pryde RS:X (men and women), Star, Tornado and Yngling, plus the 2.4mR, SKUD 18 and Sonar for the Paralympic class. This 18th rendition is the mainstay on the winter circuit for sailors with Olympic hopes. The final day of the regatta, Saturday, Jan. 27, brought brilliant sun and winds of 8-10 knots on Biscayne Bay. After five days of fleet racing, medalists were determined in three Paralympic classes, and the top ten overall finishers in the Olympic classes advanced to Saturday's single medal race, replicating the new Olympic format that will debut in Qingdao, China in 2008.
In a big win for the U.S. team in Yngling class, Sally Barkow (Nashotah, Wis), with Carrie Howe (Grosse Pointe, MI) and Debbie Capozzi (Bayport, NY) edged out their nearest competitor, the team from Great Britain. "We had to play with the points, play with the competition and try to control everybody," said Sally Berkow. She continued, "When we started, we had two boats to deal with: Great Britain and Finland." Going into attack mode, the team overcame their vulnerable position at the start and ended up with "one of the best medal races we've had in a while." "It was really tough here this week - the whole fleet has increased its skills in the Ynglings. There are new team players and new ways to sail the boat; we have to make sure we stay one step ahead." So far this talented team is doing just that. Another local team pulled a medal win for the U.S. In the 470 women's event, Amanda Clark (Shelter Island, N.Y.) and Sarah Mergenthaler (Aberdeen, N.J.) finished ninth in the medal race to win the bronze medal. They had been in fourth place going into today.
While not exactly from our area, readers may be interested in following the winners in the metro NY area. The SKUD-18 will make its debut at the 2008 Paralympic Games, where Rolex Miami OCR winners Scott Whitman (Brick, N.J.) and Julia Dorsett (Boca Raton, Fla.) hope to be. The duo is as new to Paralympic sailing as the SKUD-18 is to the Paralympic sailors. And in the Sonar class, the USA's Rick Doerr (Clifton, N.J.), Tim Angle (Marblehead, Mass.) and Bill Donohue (Brick, N.J.) won the silver medal. "We're proud to represent the U.S. Team," said Doerr. "It was a good year here; everyone's ramping up for the games and starting to take their campaigns seriously, so this regatta was a good benchmark." The Sonar class was won by teams from Sweden, New Zealand, and Portugal. Additional information, with a complete list of winners is available at http://www.ussailing.org/olympics/rolexmiamiocr/
On Saturday, March 17, Manhasset Bay YC will host a Race Officer Training and Certification Program called Basic Race Management Seminar and Test. MBYC is sponsoring this seminar along with YRALLIS (Yacht Racing Association of Long Island Sound) and US SAILING, the governing body for the sport of sailing in the US. It is designed for people who have some race committee experience. However, newcomers are also welcome. The seminar begins at 0800 and ends by 1730.
Topics of the seminar include: RC objectives, competition formats, notice of race, sailing instructions, RC jobs, RC equipment, race day preparations, setting the course, starts, during the race, finishing, post-race RC responsibilities and scoring. Bill Kirkpatrick, a US Sailing Regional Race Officer and the US Sailing Area B Race Officer, will be the principal instructor, assisted by Tinker Myles, US Sailing Regional Race Officer4 and Race Committee Chair of NYYC (New York YC).
If interested in this seminar, please bring your own copy of the Racing Rules of Sailing ("RSS"). You will receive the latest version of the Join the Race Committee Team.
At the seminar you will need your own copy of The Racing Rules of Sailing ("RRS"), and you will be supplied a copy of the latest version of the Join the Race Committee Team. Costs are $45 before March 1, on or after March 1, $55. For non-US SAILING members, the fee is $60. Checks payable to MBYC and advance registration is required. Attendance is limited to 40, so don't delay. The deadline for advance registration is Thursday, March 15. Contact Sue Miller at email@example.com or call MBYC at 516-767-2150.

This is not what a Liz Lemonist looks like.
This is a really well-done series of observations about Liz Lemon from 30 Rock that start with this one:
The popular television sitcom 30 Rock premiered in the year 2006. Since that time, each man that I have dated has made a point of saying how much I remind him of the main character on that show, Liz Lemon.
They said this, in each case, while we were breaking up.
But instead of just being a "just because I'm smart and funny don't call me Liz!" piece, Sady over at Tiger Beatdown hits on some of the things that have always annoyed me about 30 Rock. She calls 30 Rock's brand of feminism "Liz Lemonism". Come in and get another taste!
On the lack of other good female characters on the show:
She can't keep a boyfriend, she's never been married, she rarely has sex, in the company of men she's awkward, weird, dorky, inappropriate, too smart, not sexy enough, too opinionated, not giving enough, just plain wrong. More than one man on the show has compared her to the comic strip "Cathy." These qualities are frequently endearing to other women, or frankly irrelevant; there's a reason so many women, including me, relate to the character. But women never show up and become important to Liz.
On the character of Cerie specifically:
The character of Liz Lemon is played by beautiful, successful, smart, funny, apparently happy person Tina Fey, and is meant to be unattractive, only semi-successful, smart, funny, and unhappy. It's interesting that "smart" and "funny" get to stay in the picture, as long as the looks, the success, and the happiness are toned down; it tells you something about who you're allowed to like. Cerie, on the other hand, is beautiful, unsuccessful (and unambitious), not smart, not funny, and very happy. And we simply aren't meant to like her much.
Go read the whole thing, it's really really good.

In That's My Boy, Adam Sandler brings it all together: The hot-for-teacher romance of Billy Madison, the '80s nostalgia of The Wedding Singer, the class jabs of Happy Gilmore, the competing product placements, the horny grandmas, the random celebrity cameos and the attempts at ethnic humor that fall somewhere between offensive and a parody of offense. Perhaps it's the near-competent direction, the density of hypothetical jokes (David Caspe, of TV's Chicago-set Happy Endings, signed the script) or a supporting turn from Vanilla Ice ('Uncle Vanny'!) that may well go down as legendary, but the result feels like a career summation. Depending on your POV, it's either the ne plus ultra of Hollywood calculation or a comedy simply intent on pushing its crassness to the point of surrealism.

No one knows nothing: Apple edition
- abnormalreturns
- January 24th, 2012
Apple just reported the second most profitable quarter for any company, trailing only ExxonMobil's record quarter in 2008 in the aftermath of the oil price blowoff. By any measure Apple's quarter was incredible. We could continue to cite you crazy statistics but chose to link to them below. As Josh Brown at Reformed Broker wrote: "Apple is insanity."
By any measure Apple destroyed the estimates of both the sell-side and the always more bullish independent analysts. For example, Apple's earnings were a dollar higher than the highest analyst estimate. The second, soon largest, company by market cap was able to report earnings no one expected despite being the most scrutinized company in the world. Apple is doing what no other megacap company has been able to do. Organically grow revenues and earnings at a rate even a small startup would be happy with. As Rolfe Winkler at WSJ says: "Apple is breaking the law of large numbers."
Kid Dynamite at his blog says "Apple is rewriting the rulebook – it was previously impossible for megacap companies to put up growth numbers like this. Amazing." In an earlier post we noted the challenge that Apple would face as a megacap. The performance this quarter is a cold slap in the face of anyone thinking that it could not deliver continued spectacular results.
Apple's results highlight this simple fact: no one knows nothing. The most followed (and analyzed) company in the world was able to exceed even the most bullish analysts' estimates by a wide margin. If this can happen, then it should remind us that anything, good or bad, can happen in the markets. Any one telling you they know something will happen for certain, just remind them about Apple 2012 Q1 results.

Five years ago the iPhone and iPad did not exist. Now they make up 75% of Apple's revenues. (The Atlantic)
Apple TV is beginning to matter. (GigaOM)

Gulf oil spill settlement is first round for BP
The $7.8 billion settlement addresses businesses and private individuals. Still to be resolved are claims filed by local, state and federal government entities concerning Clean Water Act violations or damages to natural resources.

BP said it reached a $7.8 billion deal to settle claims from fishermen and other private claimants affected by the Gulf of Mexico oil spill ahead of the start of a major U.S. trial.
The settlement does not affect what is anticipated to be tens of billions in fines and claims from the U.S. government and the coastal states and local governments impacted by the spill.
"From the beginning, BP stepped up to meet our obligations to the communities in the Gulf Coast region, and we've worked hard to deliver on that commitment for nearly two years," Bob Dudley, BP's chief executive officer said in a statement.
"The proposed settlement represents significant progress toward resolving issues from the Deepwater Horizon accident and contributing further to economic and environmental restoration efforts along the Gulf Coast."
The last-minute deal means the highly anticipated trial will be delayed once again after a week-long postponement was ordered Sunday in order to allow the talks to continue.
Judge Carl Barbier issued an order late Friday (Feb. 2), adjourning the case indefinitely "because such a settlement would likely result in a realignment of the parties in this litigation and require substantial changes to the current Phase I trial plan, and in order to allow the parties to reassess their respective positions."
The case will likely still go to court even if a deal is reached with the federal government.
That's because the British energy giant is hoping to shift some of the cost to its subcontractors, a complex legal question which will likely end up taking years and multiple appeals to resolve.
Barbier — an expert in maritime law charged with consolidated hundreds of spill-related lawsuits into the single blockbuster trial — has left the door open to some shared liability in key pre-trial rulings.
Several government probes have also already castigated BP, rig operator Transocean and Halliburton — which was responsible for the runaway well's faulty cement job — for cutting corners and missing warning signs that could have prevented the disaster.
The April 20, 2010, explosion on the BP-leased Deepwater Horizon drilling rig killed 11 workers, blackened beaches in five U.S. states and devastated the Gulf Coast's tourism and fishing industries.
It took 87 days to cap BP's runaway well 5,000 feet (1,500 meters) below the surface which spewed some 4.9 million barrels (206 million gallons) of oil into the Gulf of Mexico.
Barbier is tasked with determining whether the deadly mistakes constitute gross negligence, how much of the blame rests with each party and whether punitive damages should be imposed.
Just one set of federal fines could reach $18 billion if gross negligence is found.
BP is also on the hook for all economic damages caused by the spill, including the cost of environmental restoration and rehabilitation, and could also be hit with costly criminal charges.
BP said the $7.8 settlement — which must still be approved by Barbier — will be paid from a $20 billion trust fund it set up in response to the spill.
"This proposed settlement is not expected to result in any increase in the $37.2 billion charge (which included the $20 billion charge taken in respect of the Trust) previously recorded in BP's financial statements," BP said.
BP has paid more than $6 billion to over 220,000 claimants who chose to settle with a special fund set up to provide emergency payments and a faster route to reimbursement.
The massive cleanup and containment effort cost BP $13.6 billion and it has pledged $1 billion towards economic rehabilitation.
BP has been able to recover more than $5 billion from its well partners and subcontractors but warned in its quarterly report that the final tally for the spill is "subject to significant uncertainty."

Sir Alex Ferguson has revealed that he will be investing in his squad this summer but there will not be a radical overhaul of playing personnel.
The boss expects to retain the services of a number of his most experienced figures - including Dimitar Berbatov if his valuation is not met - with Paul Scholes likely to stay on. Tom Cleverley is set to push for more regular inclusion with the likes of Rio Ferdinand and Michael Carrick urged to continue their top form.
"We'll assess where we're going with that in terms of players," the manager said of any summer dealings. "No doubt we'll be bringing players in. Maybe one or two. Maybe three, who knows? It depends on the kind of market we're dealing with, of course, and player availability.
"But obviously Scholes and Giggs are coming to an end so we have to guard against that anyway - that's a fact. Cleverley has got fantastic potential as a young man, he can provide us with something. Carrick is still 31 and there's years' worth in Carrick - he is in very consistent form now. We will probably add someone to the squad.
"Nothing's settled on Berbatov," insisted Sir Alex. "Someone's got to make an offer for him. He won't be going for nothing, that's for sure. Scholesy, Giggsy and Berbatov will be here next year unless someone offers what we want for Berbatov so we have that experience. By doing what we do, the players who joined us a while back have given you that experience, they are replacing that as time goes on.
"[Jonny] Evans is starting to mature now, Carrick's 30, [Patrice] Evra is 30. [Nemanja] Vidic and Ferdinand.
"Rio should have another couple of years left, I would think. And as you do that, [Wayne] Rooney gets more experience. We're not short of it. Whether we can get a Giggs or Scholes, which club would not want to have that? But it's difficult to think you can get a Scholes or Giggs. They're not falling off trees, that's for sure."

Manolo Blahnik half price MJs: Mary Jane Monday
What can we say? Manolo Blahnik is one of the designer names that will forever be associated with stylish and sophisticated Mary Janes - so if this is a style you covet, you'll be in safe hands with these beautiful patent pumps. They're pointed, they're shiny and they've got a quite beautiful perforated pattern that skims the edge of the shoes in a rather Alaia-esque way that would look amazing worn against thick tights.
This particular pair I've spotted is a bit of a bargain as it's on sale over at Covetique, which means they are a 'nearly new' pair previously held by one careful owner...the second hand price is a hugely tempting £180, reduced from an original retail price of just under £500, so if you happen to be a size EUR 39.5 this could be your chance to bag the Manolos of your dreams.

(Min 3 characters)
In 1066 THEYDON BOIS was held by Hacun as
a manor and as 3½ hides and 80 acres. In
1086 it was held in demesne by Peter de
Valognes. An additional 2 hides and 1½
virgate, previously held by 7 freemen, had by 1086
also been acquired by Peter, who claimed to hold the
property by exchange. He was also tenant in chief of
½ hide and 40 acres, which had formerly belonged to
Ulwin. Peter had it in mortgage by the king's permission. It was held of him by Walter. (fn. 56) The tenancy
in chief of these estates descended in the Valognes
family like North Weald Basset (q.v.) until the death
of Gunnore, whose second husband was Robert Fitz
Walter. Fitz Walter, who died in December 1235,
appears to have held part of the barony of Valognes,
including Theydon Bois, in right of his wife, after her
death. (fn. 57) He also outlived their daughter and heir
Christine, widow of William de Mandeville, Earl of
Essex, and after his death Theydon Bois evidently
passed to Christine, wife of Peter de Maule, one of the
coheirs of Christine de Mandeville. (fn. 58) As the tenant in
chief of the manor Christine de Maule was a party to
its conveyance about 1288-97 to Waltham Abbey (see
In 1166 Osbert son of Ralph de Wetmere held 1
knight's fee in Theydon Bois of Geoffrey de Valognes,
while William de Bosco held 1 fee of the new feoffment. (fn. 59) The subsequent history of the first of these
fees has not been traced, but in 1235-6 a William de
Bosco was holding in Theydon Bois what was variously
described as 1 fee and as ½ fee. (fn. 60) The manor must have
continued in the same family, for in 1248 Hugh de
Bosco released his right in the advowson of Theydon
Bois (see Church) and the manor was later in the possession of a Henry de Bosco, who died holding it. (fn. 61)
Henry was succeeded by John, son of Peter de Tany,
a nephew. John de Tany in or before 1289 enfeoffed
Reynold, Abbot of Waltham, with the manor. (fn. 62) It was
then agreed that Christine de Maule was to receive £5
from the abbey after the death or removal of each
abbot, by way of compensation for the loss of the feudal
incidents due to her as tenant in chief. This transaction
was contrary to the Statute of Mortmain (1279). The
parties evidently realized this after it had been concluded and took steps to secure the abbey's title. It
had been provided by the statute that where land had
been alienated to a religious house the tenant in chief,
if he acted within a year, might occupy the property
concerned. Christine de Maule therefore pleaded the
statute and renounced the agreement with Waltham
Abbey. She next enfeoffed Anthony Bek, Bishop of Durham, and Richard de Cokham, Rector of Lambourne,
Essex, with the manor of Theydon Bois. (fn. 63) In 1297 Bek,
Cokham, and Peter de Tany all released their rights
in the manor to the abbey, and the king confirmed
their grants. (fn. 64) The account in the Waltham Abbey
cartulary from which much of the above has been taken
adds that Christine had excluded her son and heir
William from the manor and assigned it to William's
son Henry, but that in spite of this assignment Henry
was never seised of any service from the manor, in
whose time there were three abbots, Reynold, Robert,
and John (elected 1302, died 1307). Henry assigned
his right in the manor to Agnes de Valence, but this
was void since he was not legally seised. (fn. 65) Some light
is thrown on this statement by the history of the manor
of Gregories (see below). The abbey certainly seems
to have successfully resisted any claims by Henry de
Maule or Agnes de Valence.
Meanwhile, in 1293, Henry, son of the previous
owner Henry de Bosco, had arraigned an assize against
Peter de Tany, alleging unlawful disseisin of the manor
by Tany and others. (fn. 66) Tany's counsel stated that Henry
was illegitimate, having been born while his father was
in deacon's orders. The jurors found that Henry was
indeed illegitimate but on the ground that his parents
had not been married at the time of his birth. The title
to the manor was again challenged in 1313 and on this
occasion a charter of 1308 was produced whereby
Lawrence de Theydon Bois acknowledged that he had
released his right in the manor, which had been of
Henry du Boys his father. (fn. 67)
Theydon Bois was retained by Waltham until the
dissolution of the abbey in 1540. The manor thereupon passed to the Crown and in May 1540 was
granted for life, together with other manors formerly
belonging to the abbey, to Robert Fuller, the last
abbot. (fn. 68) He died later in 1540, (fn. 69) and the manor was
again vested in the Crown until July 1543, when it
was granted for life to John Soda, the king's servant,
presumably that John Soda whose will was proved in
November 1551. (fn. 70) In his will, dated 1545, Soda
described himself as born in Catalonia, but dwelling at
that time in the City of London in the service of the
Lady Mary, the king's daughter. In December 1551
Theydon Bois was granted to Sir Thomas Wroth, one
of the four principal gentlemen of the Privy Chamber,
for which he was to pay 36s. a year in respect of the
knight service due from the manor and also £5 18s. 3½d.
a year at the Court of Augmentations. (fn. 71)
Wroth died in 1573, leaving Theydon Bois to his
son Robert, who held it until his death in 1606. His
son, another Sir Robert, died in 1614. James, son of
the last Sir Robert, was an infant at his father's death,
and died in 1616. (fn. 72) In his will Sir Robert provided
that Theydon Bois and other estates should be vested
in his uncle, brother, and cousin, all named John
Wroth, to be sold as they thought fit to pay off his large
debts. (fn. 73) In 1616 the manor was accordingly conveyed
to Edward Elrington, the owner of the impropriate
rectory and the advowson. (fn. 74)
Elrington died in 1618. His heir was his son,
another Edward. (fn. 75) An Edward Elrington was holding the manor in 1652 but by March 1657 John Smart
and two others were being named as lords. (fn. 76) This confirms Morant's statement that Elrington sold the manor
to John Smart about 1656. (fn. 77) In 1670 Smart bought
out the fee farm rent of £5 18s. 3½d. reserved in the
royal grant of 1551 for a payment of £115 6s. 9d. (fn. 78)
What happened to the other rent of 36s. is not clear.
Since it had been connected with the knight service
due from the manor it may have lapsed with the abolition of feudal tenures.
There is no reference to Theydon Bois in John
Smart's will, which was proved in 1679, (fn. 79) but the
manor seems to have passed to his son John Smart who
must have died shortly afterwards, for Benjamin Smart,
brother of the younger John, in his will proved in
1684, stated that he and his other brother Joseph
acquired the manor under the will of John Smart their
brother. (fn. 80) Benjamin left his moiety to Joseph, who
thus held the whole of the manor, apparently until his
death in 1702. (fn. 81) Joseph's son and successor Benjamin
was still lord of the manor in 1753. (fn. 82) In 1762 the lord
of the manor was John Hopkins, who was dead by
1773, when his trustees Benjamin Bond and William
Jacomb were named as lords. (fn. 83) The manor was held
in 1783 by Elizabeth Bond, widow, and in 1789 by
John Hopkins Dare, then an infant. (fn. 84)
J. H. Dare died in 1805, leaving his estate in trust
for his mother Elizabeth, then wife of John Marmaduke Grafton, and his half-sister Elizabeth Grafton,
who were to take the name and arms of Dare. Grafton
did so in the same year and died in 1810. His widow
died in 1823 and was succeeded by her daughter, the
above Elizabeth, then wife of Robert Westley Hall.
R. W. Hall took the name and arms of Dare and died
in 1836, being survived for some years by his widow.
Their son and successor, Robert Westley Hall Dare, in
1853 obtained a private Act of Parliament authorizing
the sale of parts of his estate, in order that he might
settle in Ireland, his wife's country. (fn. 85) Theydon Bois,
however, remained in the family. R. W. H. Dare died
in 1866 and was succeeded by his son Robert Westley
Hall Dare who in 1901 sold Theydon Bois to Gerald
Buxton. Buxton was succeeded on his death in 1928
by his son Lt.-Col. Edward North Buxton. (fn. 86) In
1850-1 the Hall Dare estate included 781 acres in
Theydon Bois and 47 acres in Loughton. (fn. 87)
The Elrington family was settled at Birch Hall in
Theydon Bois before they acquired the manor in 1616
(see above) and from that date Birch Hall was the
manor house. In 1633 Edward Elrington sold
Theydon Hall, which must previously have been the
manor house, to Frances Muscott, by the name of the
site of the manor of Theydon Bois. (fn. 88) This conveyance
was accompanied by litigation, as Thomas Smith
claimed that Elrington had concluded a bargain with
him. (fn. 89) In 1644 Frances Muscott settled Theydon
Hall upon her daughter Charity, wife of George
Duncombe. (fn. 90) The estate was subsequently owned by
George Meggott, certainly by 1680 when he claimed
tithe from certain properties in the parish. (fn. 91) His son
Robert Meggott married Anne daughter of Gervase
Elwes. Their son John, born in 1714, was heir to his
uncle Sir Hervey Elwes and took the name and arms
of Elwes in 1751, succeeding to Sir Hervey's estates
on his death in 1763. (fn. 92) Both Sir Hervey and John
Elwes were notorious misers. John disposed in his will
(dated 1786) of property worth about £500,000. He
had inherited property in London about the Haymarket and built Portland Place, Portman Square, and
much of Marylebone. He died in 1789 and was succeeded by his grand-nephew John Timms, who took
the name and arms of Hervey-Elwes in 1793. (fn. 93) The
descendants of John Hervey-Elwes owned Theydon
Hall until 1919. (fn. 94) The property has since been
broken up. The house is now owned by Mr. Gordon
Norton and the farm-yard by Mr. Webster of Parsonage
Farm. (fn. 95)
In 1850 the Theydon Hall estate consisted of 425
acres in Theydon Bois. (fn. 96) It also included 149 acres
in Theydon Garnon when the tithes of that parish
were commuted in 1840. (fn. 97) The owner of the estate
also owned part of the tithes on his property. (fn. 98)
The front range of the present Theydon Hall was
rebuilt or added during the last quarter of the 18th
century. It consists of a main two-story block of yellow
brick flanked by single-story wings. The round-headed
doorway has fluted pilasters and a good semicircular
lead fanlight. To the left of the doorway the frontage
breaks forward to form a two-story bay. The marble
fireplaces, cornices, and doorcases of the principal
rooms have ornament of the Adam type. The style is
reminiscent of the great building schemes which were
being carried out in London at this period and this
part of the house may well be the work of John Elwes.
At the back is a timber-framed structure which is
thought to be the earlier house. It appears to date from
the second half of the 17th century. It is now derelict.
The former manor house of Birch Hall lay between
Birch Hall Farm and the present mansion. By the end
of the 18th century it had been demolished and in
1848 the site was known as 'Old House Ground'. (fn. 99)
The present house is of red brick. It was built in 1892. (fn. 1)
The two lodges and several of the cottages in Coppice
Row appear to be of the same period.
The manor of GREGORIES occupied the northeast corner of the parish and probably took its name
from Gregory son of Ralph who held ¼ knight's fee in
Theydon of the barony of Valognes in 1235-6. (fn. 2) This
Gregory may be identical with the Gregory de
Theydon who was a verderer of the Forest of Essex in
1250. (fn. 3) The manor was originally known as that of
Theydon Bois, without anything to distinguish it in
name from the capital manor. On one occasion during
the 15th century it was actually found necessary to
show that the two manors were distinct. (fn. 4)
A document drawn up in a 15th-century lawsuit
traces the history of the manor from Amy, wife of
Henry Boys, who alienated a tenement and lands in
Theydon Bois to her son Harry. He conveyed to
Stephen Morice, who in turn conveyed to Gilbert son
of Gregory de Theydon. (fn. 5) The difficulty in accepting
this descent is that the property could not have been
held by Gregory, from whom the manor was probably
named. Perhaps, however, the tenement referred to
in the 15th-century descent was added to an earlier
holding which was already in the possession of Gregory
in 1235-6. In 1591 an estate that was probably the
manor of Gregories was said to be held of the manor of
Theydon Bois by knight service. (fn. 6) This and the other
evidence strongly suggests that Gregories was originally part of the capital manor of Theydon Bois.
A Gilbert de Theydon was holding lands in Essex
in 1291 (fn. 7) and in 1299 the homage and service of Gilbert
de Theydon from his tenement in Theydon Bois were
conveyed with the manor of Hertingfordbury (Herts.)
by Henry de Maule to Agnes de Valence. (fn. 8) This conveyance is probably that mentioned in the Waltham
Abbey cartulary as being without legal force (see
above). Gilbert de Theydon was dead by 1299. (fn. 9)
His heir was his son Gilbert, then a minor. Agnes de
Valence claimed the right of wardship and seized the
estates of Gilbert. (fn. 10) Before January 1301, however,
Walter de Huntyngfeld appears to have acquired the
custody of the lands, and to have forfeited it to the king
for his default before the justices of the Bench against
Henry de Enefeld who vouched him to warranty
against Rose, Gilbert's widow. (fn. 11) Agnes de Valence
died in 1308. The inquisition taken after her death
makes no mention of any rights in Theydon Bois. (fn. 12)
Later in the Middle Ages Waltham Abbey appears to
have been exercising rights of overlordship over
Gregories. (fn. 13)
In 1323 Gilbert son of Gilbert de Theydon, for a
consideration of 40 marks, conveyed to William de
Clyf, clerk, the manor of Theydon Bois (i.e. Gregories)
and 60 acres of land in Theydon Garnon and Epping
Heath, of which property one-third was in reversion
only, it being held by Thomas de Chetingdon of
London and his wife Joan, in dower. (fn. 14) In 1324 there
is the note of a final concord (which may not actually
have been levied) by which William de Clyf conveyed
the same property to Robert Spynay and his heirs. (fn. 15)
In 1326 the property, apparently without any part then
in reversion, was conveyed by Richard de Clyf to
Alice Spynay, to hold for her life with successive
remainders to her son William and his heirs, and then
to James, his brother, and his heirs. (fn. 16)
In 1340 John de Goldingham and three others, presumably feoffees, conveyed the manors of Theydon
Garnon (q.v.) and Theydon Bois (i.e. Gregories) to
William Gernon and Isabel his wife, with remainder
to their son Thomas and his heirs. The fine is endorsed
with the claim of Gilbert, son and heir of Gilbert de
Theydon. (fn. 17) From 1340 until the death of Elizabeth
Hampden in 1538 the manor of Gregories descended
along with that of Theydon Garnon.
By a fine levied in 1345 John Colepepir granted
Gregories to Walter Colepepir for life with remainder
to Thomas son of William Gernon, Lucy his wife, and
Thomas's heirs. On this occasion Alice Spynay put in
her claim. (fn. 18) It will be seen that this fine differed in
detail from that concerning Theydon Garnon levied
at the same time. In 1450-1 Simon Wythiale alleged
that one Tylby, a clerk, had enfeoffed John Wythiale,
citizen and goldsmith of London, and his heirs of the
manor of Gregories and that Simon Wythiale his son,
entering the property after his father's death, had been
disseised by John Prince. Prince, however, won the
case, the jury finding that Wythiale had not been so disseised. (fn. 19) About 20 years later John son of the above
John Prince was defendant in a suit brought by William
Floure, which was apparently an echo of the above. In
1472 Floure granted to Richard, Duke of Gloucester,
and two others the manor of Gregories, which he
claimed to have held jointly with John Kilpek, also
a goldsmith of London, by feoffment of Thomas
Wythiale, another goldsmith. (fn. 20) Floure entered the
lands and when Prince re-entered upon them brought
an action against him and John Jenyn, the farmer of
the manor. The evidence suggests that an attorney had
delivered seisin of the manor to Thomas Averry by
virtue of an alleged feoffment from Floure to Richard,
Duke of Gloucester, Averry, Thomas Wythiale, and
another. Averry was a violent man and three times
attacked Prince, once actually within Theydon Garnon
church. Prince finally appealed to the mother of the
Duke of Gloucester (who was also the mother of the
king) and she wrote to the duke, whose men had
participated in these assaults. It was then agreed that
the matter should be submitted to arbitration. The
details of the settlement have not been discovered, but
they were clearly in Prince's favour. (fn. 21) It was during
this dispute that the documents proving the separate
identities of the manors of Theydon Bois and Theydon
Bois alias Gregories and setting out the early descent
of Gregories were drawn up.
On the division of Elizabeth Hampden's estate
Gregories passed to Christopher Carleton in right of
his wife Jane. He died in 1549 or 1550 and Jane later
married Francis Michell. (fn. 22) In 1591 it was presented
at the manor court of Theydon Bois that Jane Michell
had died holding 200 acres of the manor by knight
service. This was almost certainly Gregories. Her
heir was found to be John Carleton, a son by her first
husband. The jury added that part of the land, the
exact quantity being unknown, had been conveyed to
the use of Francis Michell. (fn. 23) In 1638 Gregories was
held by George Carleton and was settled upon him
and his wife Olive for their lives with remainder to Sir
Ralph Freeman, who paid £1,000 to Alexander
Carleton. (fn. 24) In May 1643 Freeman convenanted to
stand seised of the manor of Gregories for life, with
remainder to his youngest son George. George
Carleton may have been dead by this time; he was
certainly dead by April 1644, when his will was
proved. (fn. 25) In 1649 the settlement of 1643 was revoked
and the property, subject apparently to the life interest
of Olive, now the wife of John Rivers, was sold to
Fulk Wormlayton of Wapping (Mdx.) distiller, and
William Hiccocks of Southwark, brewer, for £1,690.
It was agreed between Wormlayton and Hiccocks that
each should enjoy half the property with no right of
survivorship and that within 30 days after the death of
Olive Rivers the property should be divided between
them according to the disposition of four arbitrators.
It was further covenanted that neither party should
attempt to buy out Olive's life interest. (fn. 26) In 1650 John
and Olive Rivers leased to Wormlayton for Olive's life
and for £240 certain rooms, including the hall, the
great parlour with the larders or butteries adjoining,
two cellars, and three chambers, part of the house called
Gregories, with other buildings and about 200 acres
at an annual rent of £60. In 1652, presumably on the
death of Olive Rivers, the property was divided,
Wormlayton taking the lands included in his lease and
Hiccocks the remainder, together with the manorial
Fulk Wormlayton was dead by 1676 and was succeeded by his son John (d. ante Sept. 1680) (fn. 27) and grandson of the same name who in 1727 sold the property to
Jacob Houblon of Bobbingworth for £3,000. During
the lives of the two John Wormlaytons mortgages
were often raised on the property. In 1735 the
property was settled upon the marriage of Jacob
Houblon with Mary Cotton, becoming subsequently
absorbed in the Coopersale estate in Theydon Garnon
(q.v.). (fn. 28)
The other half of Gregories, including the manorial
rights, descended from William Hiccocks (d. 1674)
to his grandson of the same name. (fn. 29) In 1709 it was
conveyed by a John Hiccocks to John Hyett, who died
in 1719 leaving it to his grandson John, son of his
deceased son Thomas. (fn. 30) In his will John Hyett the
elder provided that the manor should be charged with
an annuity for apprenticing poor boys. (fn. 31) The manor
was still held by the Hyetts in 1759, when Elizabeth
Hyett was party to a conveyance, but by 1777 it was
apparently owned by the Crewe family. (fn. 32) In 1783 it
was sold by John Crewe of Bolesworth Castle (Chesh.)
to John Tysoe Read of London, banker, whose assigns
sold it in 1785 to Daniel Giles of London. (fn. 33) Giles
died in 1800 and was succeeded by his son, Daniel
Giles of Youngsbury (Herts.). (fn. 34) In 1849 the manor
was owned by Lady Louisa Giles Puller of Youngsbury. (fn. 35) It had presumably descended with the manor
of North Weald (q.v.). In 1850 Lady Puller's estate
consisted of 159 acres in Theydon Bois, then occupied
by Thomas Mills. (fn. 36)
About 600 yds. east of the end of Gregories Lane
is a rectangular moat which probably represents the
site of the medieval manor house of Gregories. A
field beyond the end of the lane was known in 1848 as
'Gregory's Garden'. (fn. 37) The present farm of Great
Gregories was in existence in 1848 but the farm-house
appears to have been rebuilt early in the 20th century.
A farm in Gregories Lane was known in the 19th
century as Little Gregories. (fn. 38)

First we found a charity a small non-profit organization called Wishes and More, in the end we raised almost 600 dollars for the charity . It took us almost a month to plan but when the day of the run came we were ready. We had two races the "Kids Race" and the "Adult Race" . The picture above, is at the start of the kids race. Everyone had tons of fun. Initially we weren't going to have t-shirts but when we found this website, everything changed. We had an awesome time planning the run.

Written by John Franklin, email@example.com Wednesday, 05 February 2014 00:00
Kappa Sigma at Adelphi University has been fasting and raising money for Island Harvest over the last eight years to raise awareness of hunger on Long Island. Each year the fraternity surpassed the previous record. Last year Kappa Sigma raised $3,695 and collected $1,850 pounds of food for Island Harvest.
Island Harvest is an organization that rescues and distributes food for the hungry of New York.
The "Super Hungerfest" kickoff took place on Feb. 1 in Adelphi's Ruth S. Harley University Center Lower Level. The event consisted of an "open mic" for music and comedy performed by Kappa Sigma brothers Rob Carroll and Mike Mayer, as well as a speech by Long Island Harvest volunteer and spokesperson Jim Broderick. A short film entitled The Volunteer about fighting hunger in Long Island, by Hofstra University graduate student Pat Mantle, was also screened at the kickoff.
"Super Hungerfest is a very important event to Kappa Sigma," said senior and President Michael Manzo. "Not only does it help thousands of people on Long Island, it brings together our chapter and challenges us every year to surpass the previous record."
Brothers of the fraternity not only collected money and food for the charity, but spent the 24 hours prior to the Super Bowl fasting to raise awareness of the situation. Kappa Sigma also added new ways to help increase donation amounts for Island Harvest.
"With this being my third Super Hungerfest, it has truly been a pleasure seeing the evolution of this event," said senior and secretary Richard Tarantola. "This year we have added new aspects to help reach our goal of $4,000 and 2,000 pounds of food. Now anyone can donate to the cause electronically via PayPal. This event can only continue to grow, it shows the Adelphi community that it is always important to give back and support something bigger than yourself."
For some brothers, the event has become ritual, but for others it is a brand new experience.
"I think fasting 24 hours for my first Super Hunger Fest is going to be tough, but the reasoning behind it gives a lot of meaning," said sophomore Andrew Stone at the kickoff event. "But I know we've all been collecting and spreading the word for a while so I'm excited to see if we can break last year's record."
As of press time, Kappa Sigma had not received their final numbers of money and food donated as the results were to be delivered on Tuesday, Feb. 4 at the Island Harvest headquarters. The fraternity will bring all food donations to Island Harvest for weighing and distribution.

Murder-Threat E-Mail Scam On the Rise In 2008
E-mail scam artists and spammers have relied for years on using offers that dangle quick riches in return for access to personal information and bank accounts, but now these messages may be taking a turn toward the threatening. Currently making the rounds of inboxes everywhere is a new scam e-mail that insinuates bodily harm, or even death, if the recipient doesn't fork over money.
This isn't the first time Switched.com has warned about this growing problem with scam e-mail, of course, but this new more intimidating threat seems to be growing larger. (Take a look at our "Top Five E-mail Scams" piece to learn more about how to identify fraudulent e-mail and how to protect yourself.)
As reported in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, this new type of scam e-mail reads, in part, that the sender is "mailing you now ... just to KILL/ASSASINATE you and I have to do it as I have already been paid for that."
The e-mail continues to say that if payment is not made immediately, the sender will follow through on the threat without delay.
One of the threatening e-mails found its way to the e-mail inbox of an employee of the Post-Dispatch, who then forwarded it on to the FBI.
According to Special Agent Zachary Lowe, the scam first started appearing in 2006 and the messages are likely coming from overseas, possibly out of Eastern Europe. The first targets of the scam were white-collar workers, like doctors and lawyers, whose e-mail addresses are easy to find in ads or directories. Lowe says the threat isn't real.
As noted in the Post-Dispatch article, "This is just a new type of fraud."
The old style of scam e-mail was typically an invitation to a business opportunity or to collect lottery winnings. This new kind of scam has the same goal, just a different, and more serious, message.

text: Captain Chrestien Brule, I think it was a great story that leads one to ponder of all the adventures you and Captain Alderich enjoyed. Many have inquired as to how our small barony came to employ such a fine vessel manned by a crew of-how shall we say-questionable reliability. The story needs to be continued with your encounter with your lovely Lady Nora and her mother the Golden Haired Dona. I've a recent missive from friend Nomis; he has returned from the farthest reaches of what he calls "the land of the bearded dogs". He claims to have witnessed sights that would have striped a weaker man of his very soul! We must make ready! I'm afraid his prolonged stay with Lady Jimwat has left him with a shaken sense of reality. His claims of betrayal from within our very own barony cannot be taken seriously. I've asked him to stay where he is and relay to me any noteworthy information that pertains to the forthcoming invasion, but I may have asked too much of my old friend this time. Our commanders have confirmed that your information concerning the Bourbon the coke's betrayal to our cause is accurate. As we speak, he gathers information that will facilitate the placement of those in his kingdom who wish to call Bordermarch home; the Bourbon the coke presumes to much! HE Santiago -----Original Message----- From: bordermarch-bounces+dave.lathrop=valero.com at lists.ansteorra.org [mailto:bordermarch-bounces+dave.lathrop=valero.com at lists.ansteorra.org] On Behalf Of justinw at dreammakersetx.com Sent: Monday, September 28, 2009 10:16 PM To: bordermarch at lists.ansteorra.org Subject: [Bordermarch] Story of "The Phoenix" Greetings one and all. Have a seat and relax and hear the tale of how "The Phoenix" came to be. Before we can tell of "The Phoenix" we first have to tell the tale of "The Lucid Dream" and it's captain, Lord Alderich The Black. When I met Lord Alderich, it was in a tavern here in Bordermarch. He was a rough looking fellow with whiskers of iron, eyes of ice, and a heart of stone. He took pity on no one. He was joyous when sober and mean as a bear when consumed by the drink. Whether stone sober or stumbling drunk, he would neither back down from a fight, nor would he allow surrender. We met by accident;I tripped and splashed my drink on him. He stood, grabbed me by the neck and drug me outside to the alley. He told me to prepare to die!! I drew my sword and squared off with one of the most vicious of opponents I have ever faced. As I stood there shaking, he slowly drew his rapier. I was terrified to say the least, for at this time I had never had true lessons of how to handle a blade. He could have quickly killed me, without a second thought. But he didn't. He simply stepped back, sheathed his blade, looked at me with those cold eyes and said "If you wish to live, leave now and head to the docks. Find my ship, The Lucid Dream. Tell the first mate that I sent you there and to tie you to the main. If you do this you will live to see the sunrise tomorrow morning. But if you do not go to my ship, you shall never see the sun again." Not being a fool I ran to find his ship. I found it and relayed the order to the first mate. He did as told and tied me loosely to the main. I stayed tied there for hours before the captain decided to stagger his way back to the ship. I was alone on deck as he came up the gang plank. He began yelling orders and from no where people began running about, getting the ship ready to sail. As he crossed the deck yelling orders he just looked at me, smiled and gave me a wink and never stopped shouting. After we were headed to sea, he sent his first mate to bring me to his quarters. Had I been on dry ground or at least still at the port I do believe I would have ran until my feet could carry me no more. But seeing as how we were now a long distance from land and I couldn't swim ,I had no choice but to meet with the Captain. I entered his cabin to find a room full of gold and silver treasures. He had paintings, jewelry, gold coins, and swords of many different styles. All I could do is stand there and look around in awe. The captain sat at an old wooden yet finely polished desk. He asked me "Like what you see?" all I could reply was" uhhhh" He let out a chuckle and stood up. My attention went immediately to him. For in my mind, my death was near. As he approached me, he looked me over from top to bottom. I was really getting nervous. He asked " Who in the hell taught you to swing a sword?" I proudly replied "I did." He let out a laughter that could have been heard back ashore. I felt like I was as small as a mouse.He laughed a bit longer and said " I need a deck hand. If you stay on-board I shall teach you to fight, and let you earn your way up the ranks on the ship. You shall have no special treatment. If you wish not to stay I will let you walk right off the ship, no questions asked, and I will not hunt you." Well in my mind it sounded like a good deal. Stay and gain skills both of the sea and the blade or leave and do as I please. He then informed me that I had but a few minutes to decide. I had no skills before this and the likelihood of me gaining skills anywhere else were slim. So I told him I would stay. He laughed and said " Good choice lad, in the morning I shall set you to your new duties but tonight we drink!!!" And drink we did. The Captain was actually a good man that took to the seas the same way I was starting mine. He relayed a story from his younger days when a lad decided to leave the ship. They walked him off the deck while at sea. After he told me this I knew I made the right choice. I stayed on board "The Lucid Dream" for a few years and worked my way up the ranks. Captain Alderich wanted me to broaden my outlook so he sent me to work on another ship for a year to learn. When I returned to "The Lucid Dream" Captain Alderich appointed me to the position of First Mate. For years we traveled the waters and found great treasure and exciting adventures. We traveled the world. Our crew had grown. There were several crew mates but the most memorable ones were Lathum the Lush. This was the Captains drinking buddy. Then there was my French brother, Xavier, the bard Galen, and the newest member, young Giles. When we went ashore the 6 of us could be found in the local tavern or strung up in the blocks. When that happened it was time to find a new port. During the years, we sunk many a ships, killed 10 times as many men, and the women....oh the women...There was this red head and oh the things she could....Oh wait..I shall tell that story at another time and place. I can't tell you that story right now but I will tell you of the ship that wouldn't sink. We were off the coast of Atlantia and came across a ship that looked ripe for the picking. We fired upon the ship before they could react. We boarded it and killed the crew with ease. There was a fine treasure on-board as well. As we unloaded the bounty, the captain and I realized that this ship should not still be afloat due to the damage that we saw on our walk through. The captain smiled and said "I have an idea." He turned around and ran off. He stopped and turned and asked "Chrestien, care to join me?" I gave no verbal response, but I did turn and follow him. We return to "The Lucid Dream" and Alderich began yelling at the the crew. He told me to go to his cabin and that he would be there shortly. When he arrived he told me of a ship builder he knew and that we were going to take this ship that would not sink to him and have it rebuilt. He said " That ship out there should not be floating. But it is. That is a ship worth fixing." So we traveled north to his friend. His friend said it would not be easy but it was possible. We left the ship with him and traveled some more. The seas are excellent when you need to think or just get away and relax. But being a predator you have to feed. And feed we did. Months passed and many ships were sank by the crew of "The Lucid Dream". We traveled the coast from Trimaris all the way up to the East Kingdom and back. We return to the new ship and it was completed. It was rebuilt to it's original majestic presence. It was a work of art. The captain and I went to see the builder. He said the ship was complete except for one thing. It needed a name. Captain Alderich turned to me and asked "Captain Brule what shall you name your ship?" I was in awe. I turned to the window and looked at the ship that was, at one time, nothing but a floating pile of wood. Only one thing came to mind as I looked at this beautiful ship....."The Phoenix" With my new ship I took on a new crew and started a new beginning. I entered the Gulf along the borders of Trimaris, Gleann Abhann and Ansteorra. Of all the ports I entered the friendliest was Bordermarch. With this I began to call Bordermarch home. My ship can be found somewhere near just daring the barbarians from Gleann Abhann to try and enter my beloved home. I could continue this tale and tell of the Love I found within my beloved Bordermarch, but that's another story altogether. I hope you enjoyed this tale of "The Phoenix" I hope to write more if the feed back is positive and well received. Please let me know what you think.

Regarding previous comment
The problem is far more inscrutable and bizarre -- the Eclipse version I had previously tried it with was 3.7, not 3.8.
I replaced Eclipse 3.7 with Eclipse 3.8, and never tried jvmmonitor with Eclipse 3.8. The mysterious slowdown persisted when debugging within Eclipse. Running an application goes at full speed, but debugging is dog-slow.
What files does jvmmonitor touch when installed?
