PORTSMOUTH — The Prescott Park Arts Festival Association has selected Buckley, a 3-year-old golden retriever, to play the role of Sandy in this summer's production of "Annie."
The pooch's sweet demeanor and his interaction with Annie, played by Carly Gendell, 8, was said by Prescott Park Arts Festival Executive Director Ben Anderson to be one of the reasons he was picked for the part.
According to Anderson, Carly and Buckley hit it off immediately.
"She already nicknamed him Broccoli," he said. "She played a big role in the selection."
Buckley, who lives in Portsmouth, will be rehearsing five nights week alongside his Labradoodle pal and neighbor, Whiskey, who was chosen for Sandy's understudy.
This past weekend more than 60 dogs from huskies to poodles gathered across from Strawberry Banke to participate in behavioral tasks and audition for the part.
Judging the tryouts were Sue Carney, owner of Canine Academy; Billy Butler, director of the musical production; and Anderson.
For his participation in the production, which is scheduled to premiere June 28, Buckley will be rewarded with a year's supply of dog food from Canine Cupboard of Portsmouth.
"Buckley's just enjoying his usual spot," Jean Kane, Buckley's owner, said on Saturday at Prescott Park.
The N.H. Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals was the event's partner, along with The New England Agility Team, which put on doggy demonstrations and let the auditioning dogs enjoy some playtime.

Thursday game report: Bucks vs. Warriors
PLAYER OF THE GAME: Stephen Curry did it all for Golden State, finishing with 31 points and 11 assists in 39 minutes. And he got a clean strip on a drive by Ramon Sessions late in the game to help clinch the Warriors' victory.
BIG NUMBER: 60. The Warriors shot 60% in the third quarter (12 of 20) to take an 82-75 lead into the final period.
TEAMS: Milwaukee Bucks (13-56) vs. Sacramento Kings (24-44).
WHEN: 5 p.m. Sunday.
WHERE: Sleep Train Arena.
BROADCASTS: TV — FS Wisconsin. Radio — AM-620.
BRAGGING RIGHTS: Bucks guard Brandon Knight only played in one NCAA Tournament, but he has bragging rights on teammate John Henson.
As soon as the subject of the tournament came up Thursday, Knight pointed to Henson and reminded him of Kentucky's 76-69 victory over North Carolina in the 2011 East Regional final.
Knight had 22 points, seven assists and four rebounds in that game for the Wildcats.
But Kentucky then lost by a point to Connecticut, the eventual national champion, in the Final Four semis.
"We beat North Carolina to get there," Knight said while teasing his teammate.
The following year Kentucky won the national title, but Knight already was in the NBA after being selected eighth overall in the 2011 draft by the Detroit Pistons.
"I was happy for those (Kentucky) guys," Knight said of the 2012 team that included Anthony Davis, Terrence Jones, Michael-Kidd Gilchrist and Doron Lamb. "We should have won the first one (in 2011) so I was happy they were able to win the second one."
Knight said his only NCAA Tournament experience was a great one.
"Just the thrill of each game," he said. "Every game was tough just because your whole season relied on that one game."
BIG IMPACT: Former Bucks center Andrew Bogut started against his old team as Milwaukee played the second game of its western trip.
Bogut sat out Tuesday in the Warriors'103-89 victory over Orlando.
Warriors coach Mark Jackson is trying to prime his team for the postseason and is carefully monitoring his players' health. Small forward Andre Iguodala sat out vs. the Bucks due to knee tendinitis.
"The worst thing you can do right now is have a setback," Jackson said. "I think you've got to use wisdom. You've got to trust what the guys are saying, how they feel and also the experts."
Bogut has played in 60 of 69 games this season, the most action he has seen since playing 65 games with the Bucks during the 2010-'11 season. He has missed eight games due to injuries and one due to a league suspension.
"His play has been great," Jackson said. "In my opinion he's certainly an all-defensive player in this league and as good as it gets. He's the anchor of our defense, being the vocal one, reading and reacting, rebounding the basketball.
"He's been everything we expected him to be when we traded for him, and it's great to see him healthy and whole."
The Bucks traded Bogut to the Warriors in March 2012 in a deal that brought Monta Ellis and Ekpe Udoh to Milwaukee. Ellis is now playing in Dallas after electing not to sign a three-year deal offered by the Bucks, and Udoh has been plagued by injuries and played sparingly this season.
Jackson said Bogut has improved with his shot-blocking skills.
"We have two big guys (Bogut and David Lee) who are willing to take the hit," Jackson said. "I think there's a fine line between understanding when you can block the shot and when you're in position to take the charge.
"He reads it as well as any big man I've been around. The last thing to get back ... early on in Milwaukee it was left-hand jump hook, right-hand jump hook. He had all of that and he was a nightmare to have to defend.
"You can see how comfortable he's getting. He's taking floaters now. It's coming back. It's been a great year for him."
Bogut entered Thursday's game averaging 7.8 points, 10.1 rebounds and 1.88 blocks while shooting 63.6%. He still struggles mightily at the foul line since the elbow injury suffered in 2010 and is at 34.4% (22 of 64).

Sorry, 'healthy obesity' doesn't exist
Location of study: CanadaStudy subjects: Data study of 61,386 volunteersResults: According to a report published in the Annals of Internal Medicine, so-called "healthy obesity" is a myth. Healthy obesity refers to overweight people who have blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar levels in what is considered the healthy range. However, these researchers found that being overweight can still increase the risk of heart disease, cardiac arrest and stroke, and shorten lifespan.Significance: A staggering 69 percent of American adults 20 and over are overweight or obese.
Elderly people still definitely having sex
Location of study: U.S.Study subjects: 3,005 men and women ages 57-85Results: American seniors maintain an active sex life well into old age, according to a new study published in the New England Journal of Medicine. In the study group, more than a quarter of people over 85 said they'd had sex in the past year. Half of the sexually active participants reported having at least one sexually related problem, however, and one out of seven men said they had used Viagra or other substances to improve their sexual function.Significance: The figures could relate to seniors staying healthier and more active later in life. In addition, the figures were likely affected by modern seniors' greater willingness to talk about sexual activity than previous generations. Georgeanne Patmios of the National Institute on Aging, the study's main funder, says that studying sex provides insight into the overall health of seniors — sexual problems could be red flags for other conditions.
Malaria parasite's weakness could herald a new approach to treatment
Location of study: U.S.Study subjects: Laboratory studyResults: A key metabolic enzyme that common malaria parasites require for survival has been identified, according to a study by researchers at Columbia University Medical Center and published on Nature's website.Significance: Malaria is one of the world's deadliest diseases. "Perhaps the most exciting aspect of our findings is that this enzyme is required at all stages of the parasite's life cycle in humans," says study co-first author Marcus C.S. Lee, associate research scientist in microbiology and immunology at CUMC. "This is important because most anti-malarials are effective at killing the parasites only as they circulate in the bloodstream. However, the parasites can hide in the liver for years before re-emerging and triggering a relapse of the disease. By identifying this enzyme, we may be able to develop a new way to kill the parasites in their dormant stage."
Location of study: U.S.Study subjects: 9,000 menResults: 62 percent of HIV-positive men have had unprotected sex with another male over the past year, says a new study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That figure has almost doubled since 2005.Significance: Sexual contact remains the biggest way that HIV is contracted, with male-to-male sex contributing almost three-quarters of new infections. If you're going to have sex, protect yourself and your partner with a condom.

By mid-1887, eight machines had been built and after a brief trial, four were installed in U. S. Treasury offices, a marketing coup of considerable importance. The other machines were quickly snapped up by Chicago area companies who very soon presented Felt with the problem of providing trained operators. So quite early in the life of this venerable machine, we can see the tight bond between high speed machine and trained operator that was to become the cornerstone of the company's success.
A bit of early corporate paper trail: On Jan 19, 1889, the partnership was incorporated with 400 shares of stock, Felt getting 225 (9/16ths), Tarrant 150 shares (6/16ths) and C.J.DeBerard the remaining 25 shares (1/16th). Two years later, in what may be one of the earliest stock "splits" ever recorded, a new agreement covering loans from Bob Tarrant, showed 4000 shares without change in the proportional ownership. An agreement dated Jan 20, 1898, showed Felt turning over 386 of his shares to Tarrant in return for cancelling the loans.
Meanwhile, back at the inventors' workbench, about the same time that Felt first patented his Comptometer (early 1885), Wm. S. Burroughs had devised a "adding-listing" machine which provided the seed for the company that would become an arch rival for Felt & Tarrant. Quickly, Felt and/or Tarrant decided that the addition of a listing feature to the Comptometer would be required. Thus began the search for a way to combine a printed listing with the speed of the key-driven Comptometer. The Comptograph "adder-lister" would occupy the design talents of Felt for the next 14 years and dispite some notable technical achievements, never quite reach the elusive goal.
By 1902 Felt had had enuf but Tarrant still believed in the adder-lister and the two split the business with Felt retaining control of F&T and Tarrant taking command of the Comptograph Company. Felt would now concentrate his energies on improving his beloved "shoebox" machines and running the business as he saw fit. While the Comptograph had some initial success in Europe, it quickly died off with the start of WWI in 1914.
Sometime between 1904 and 1908, sales had climbed enuf to require a relocation of the factory to larger quarters.
This "modern" facility with its snug little adjacent office, was located in the 800 block of No. Paulina St. It would seem that it sufficed for just a few years and produced only the A- and B-model machines. By 1910, yet another move would be required, this time further up Paulina Street to the 1700 block where numerous expansions would take place over the coming decades.
Sales of Comptometers seem to explode after the arrival of the F-model in 1915. While the war certainly had an impact, the new model with its novel error- detection and correction "Controlled Key" feature was a more likely factor. In a bit less than five years, over 42,000 of this model were sold compared to half that number for all models combined for the previous 30 years! The company had clearly arrived on the U.S. business scene as its expanded manufacturing facilities attested.
By 1920, F&T had a worldwide business requiring some 100 fulltime salesmen. For the launch of the new H-model, Felt would bring them to Chicago in June for a convention that many would likely consider the hilite of their career.
By 1924, things were humming along for the key-driven calculator and the battle with Burroughs had become one of "market share". Felt & Tarrant would seek the high ground with this statement from a tidy little 16-page booket promoting the advantages of becoming a Comptometer operator...
� �"Things of Quality are distintive. They stand out sharp and clear against the flat level of mediocrity. In them are reflected always the genius, vision and artistic handiwork of a master Craftsman. Such things live and endure. They set, each in its own sphere, the standards of excellence at which imitators aim. But leadership in excellence is never attained through imitation. As the shadow but imperfectly reflects the image of substance, so the imitator copies only the form, not the essence of Quality. Real Quality does not hold the lure of cheapness. Though necessarily of higher price, it costs less in the end. It is by the policy of "not how cheap, but how good" that Quality lives.
"For 37 years, this policy has dominated every step in the progressive developement of the Comptometer. From the beginning, it has been, is now and will continue to be, a Quality machine. And when a better machine is built, it will still bear the trademark-- |
Clearly, both a jab at their competitor and a statement of credo.
The J-model was introduced in early 1926 with several refinements but no new major design feature. However, its pedigree was such that it became the backbone of the business and remained in production for nearly 40 years! By1930, when Felt died, the firm had some 850 employees and over $3 million in sales.
After Felt's death in 1930, the company would introduce a varity of machines but none with the unique style and elegance of the "shoebox" models.
By 1946, tax problems would force the 11 family descendant stockholders to "go public" (an IPO). In 1957, the name Felt & Tarrant disappeared and the company was listed on the New York Stock Exchange as The Comptometer Corporation. A few years later it would merge with the Victor Adding Machine Company to become the Victor Comptometer Corp and eventually disappear as all things must.
Alex Kinmond, who worked for Felt & Tarrant from 1937 til the merger with Victor in 1962 recalls the declining years...
"In 1946 I joined the sales force and did quite well until Canada clamped down on U.S. dollar imports in late 1947. With our sales restricted, I was sent to Hamilton, Ontario as service manager. In 1950 I moved back to sales and did very well for the next four years.
"In 1954 I was transferred to Toronto as Branch Manager. Around this time we were beginning to suffer from the effects of businesses switching office methods to IBM punch card operations (tabulators). We used to battle the punch card systems by saying that although they were fast, they multiplied errors just as quickly as correct answers. However it was not long before the larger establishments were into IBM systems and the effects was quite drastic.
"Fortunately we had the (new design) Comptograph produced by Walther of Germany to sell and it was a top line adding machine which sold extremely well. But by the late 50's one could see that the good old Comptometer was doomed. The factory in Chicago was closed and the Plus machine was renamed Comptometer and supplied to us from England. In 1962 Comptometer was merged (or should I say taken over by Victor) and key driven Comptometer sales dribbled to nothing.
"By the middle '60s, electronic machines began showing some muscle and it was not too long before all mechanical machines were sent to the graveyard. Comptometer, Friden, Monroe, Marchant and a host of adding machine Companies including Victor and Walther all bit the dust."

"The apartment building on the corner of Paulina and Wabansia, bottom, just right of center, is still here but the little church/school just east of it is gone. Where the houses are in the lower left hand corner was Felt & Tarrant's parking lot in the 50's, thats something the workers didn't
need when this photo was taken. I played ball there as a little kid. A Felt & Tarrant watchman would always run across the street and chase us out for fear we'd break some car windows.
"The main factory building at 1713-1735 Paulina has been yuppified into trendy lofts. I'm not absolutely sure, but I'd bet that the salesmen photo was taken on the east side of the building next to where the loading docks are set back in."
"I started with F&T in Aug 1937 in the midst of the 1930s depression. Sales were not too brisk in that period but did pick up in 1939 and were reasonably good throughout the war period although I was away in the Air Force for four years.

This allows for a cleaner look without sacrificing any of the features known to FASS systems. The same motor used on the HD Series (class 8 applications) is also used on the Titanium Series, proving once again that quality is #1 at FASS.
FASS High Performance Diesel Fuel System
Most vehicles fuel tanks are mounted at least two feet below and ten feet away from the fuel pump. This configuration creates multiple problems associated with the fuel delivery to the engine. First, the injection pump has to draw the fuel from the tank by creating a vacuum which produces fuel vapor. Second, while the vehicle is in motion the movement of the fuel inside the tank causes air to become entrained within the fuel. By having entrained air and air vapor in the fuel, the engine does not perform at the manufacturer's specification, and the fuel injectors and fuel injection pump are not properly lubricated. Air and fuel vapor occupy the space that should have pure fuel, thus delaying the injection of fuel (retarded timing) into the combustion chamber. The air/vapor present in fuel is very inconsistent, making it virtually impossible to adapt the varying degrees of changes in injection timing. The answer to this problem is the FASS kit.
FASS Eliminates Power-Robbing Air From Diesel Fuel
Complete Kits: All FASS Fuel Air Separator Systems and the High Performance Fuel Pump systems are complete kits. They come with the hoses, fittings, mounting hardware, etc to do the job. Everything needed to complete the installation should be included, except tools and wire ties.

You know those museums that are really quiet and you can't touch anything? These are definitely not those museums. Take the Boston Children's Museum. It's one-of-a-kind, world-renowned center for enrichment. But the kids don't care about that. They just like that it's as fun as a barrel of monkeys. The Museum of Science has scary dinosaurs, loud electric bursts, and an Imax screen the size of a basketball court, and it's still extremely educational. The Kidspace at Mass MoCA has really mind-blowing art, including some uniquely interactive work. At the Discovery Museums in Acton, kids can bounce a ball three stories high or engineer their own train track. Of course, if your family loves those quiet museums, we have plenty of those too.

Keziah Jones (born Olufemi Sanyaolu on 10 January 1968) is a Nigerian singer-songwriter and guitarist. He describes his musical style as "Blufunk", which is a fusion between raw blues elements and hard, edgy funk rhythms. Also his Nigerian roots in Yoruba music and soul music can be considered a major influence on his sound.
He is known for his distinctive style of guitar playing, including his percussive right-hand technique which is similar to a bass guitarist's slapping technique.
Life and career[edit]
Olufemi Sanyaolu a.k.a. Keziah Jones is the son of Oshodolamu Sanyaolu; Chief of the Yoruba people and successful industrialist and Abiola Sanyaolu. Born on 10 January 1968, Jones spent his early childhood in a large family in a part of Nigeria in the city of Lagos. From a young age he was being prepared to follow his father's footsteps in the family concern and was expected to have an academic career. Therefore, his father enrolled him in a Public School in London and he left Nigeria at the age of eight to be educated in England.
"I had to find a way out of all that, and music was it!"[citation needed] By the age of 13 he had discovered the old school piano and taught himself how to play and write songs. Three years later he switched to the guitar, increasingly neglecting his studies. After scraping through exams he went against his father's wishes and family tradition even more by skipping school and busking in the streets, clubs and London Underground, constantly avoiding the police.
Jones led a bohemian lifestyle for several years instead of the one envisaged for him. "Lose all time, love your mind, free your soul!" were words from his song Free Your Soul. Moving from London to Paris and back again frequently accompanied only by his guitar, the young Jones acquired a reputation as a talented musician and charismatic performer with a unique "hard funk" style. In 1990, whilst busking in London's Portobello Road, Keziah was discovered by composer and ex-keyboard player for Sailor and Culture Club, Phil Pickett quickly evolving into full-time management of the artist. Pickett signed Jones to a long-term songwriting agreement with Hit & Run Music Publishing ( photo Billboard 1990) who's executive, Dave Massey, had recorded songs by Jones when at Chrysalis Music. Massey continued to be involved in Keziah's career for the next 8 years. After a brief but near disastrous flirtation with Capitol Records in the USA, in 1992, Pickett signed Keziah to Emmanuel de Buretel's Delabel label for his debut album Blufunk Is a Fact. Recording in London with producer Kevin Armstrong, included in the worldwide success of the project was Keziah's first single "Rhythm Is Love". Jones attributes his Parisian subway experiences as highly instrumental to his by now blossoming career in his official biography.[1] By 2008, Jones had recorded eight albums and one DVD. After performing many shows and festivals throughout the world between 2009 and 2012, late in 2012 Keziah Jones was back in Lagos preparing to record his new studio album set for worldwide release on Because Music in 2013
Keziah often cites Fela Kuti, Miles Davis and Jimi Hendrix as important influences.
Keziah Jones also draws,paints and writes poetry. He is a photographer and has produced short films, including one entitled BLACKSPEEDTEXT This film, his music and the other facets of his artistic life reflect his experiences on the streets.
Personal life[edit]
Keziah was married to Anglo-Nigerian singer Akure Wall in 1994. they separated in 1996.

Jenna Dewan-Tatum, Emma Roberts, And Other Stars Who Look Flawless For ELLE's Annual Women In Television Celebration
This is one event I don't think I could consider anyone the "worst dressed".
Jenna Dewan-Tatum and Emma Roberts went for two very different, yet gorgeous ensembles.
Speaking of Roberts, has anyone noticed her gorgeous diamond sparkler?
In case you didn't know, she and beau, Evan Peters, were engaged over the holidays. Let's hope they're very happy and don't have any domestic violence problems in the future.
The now very blonde actress chopped off her normally darker locks, sporting a lovely face framing bob. Black Suede Viveka Christian Louboutins were her shoe of choice. Without a doubt, that is the best part of her entire outfit.
Did you all catch last night's episode of American Horror Story? I think it can be best described as a freak show within a fun house.
Dewan-Tatum was dressed a little more extravagantly. I still can't get over how stunning she looks after giving birth to her daughter, Everly Tatum. To be honest, she could wear a trash bag and I would still think she looks fantastic.
Is it time for season two of Witches of East End? Her character, Freya, is so spunky and an absolutely joy to watch. If you haven't watched it before, hurry up and catch up on season one before season two premieres.
Curious about what other gorgeous celebrities stepped out for the event? Click through to our gallery and see who your favorites are! Let us know who you think dressed to impress in the comments below!

Peter Bjorn And John cover "Try A Little Tenderness" by Otis Redding
Peter Bjorn and John are the second to last guests on this year's edition of the A.V. Club's Undercover series, being forced to pick between a Loretta Lynn song, and Otis Redding's seminal "Try a Little Tenderness." They pick the latter. It's got to be especially hard to tackle the song now, too, since Jay and Kanye's "Otis" has a heavy sample, and is the most high profile reappearance of the song since Redding's 1966 cover. But Peter Bjorn and John knock this shit out of the park, pulling off the transformation into a soul band, with Peter delivering some shouts and stomps. Watch it above. [AV Club]

One of the boys' favorite breakfast foods is pancakes and luckily Grandma was more than happy to oblige.
We had pancakes with cousins,
And Kyle showed off his skills with a fork.And we giggled at Grandma's silly mini pancakes.
Mmmmm.... they sure taste good!
(Apparently, Zach wasn't super thrilled with having his picture taken at this moment. He really did enjoy his mini pancakes though)
Truth is, try as I might. I just can't seem to make mini pancakes like grandma does. I guess I just need some to get some more practice. Pancakes anyone?

Hi, is it possible to get create a 'hint' as to what message an inlet or outlet to an abstraction accepts/gives, from within the parent patch, like in a proper max object? The 'hint' object only works if you are inside the abstraction.
you want "comment" field in the inspector…
Ahh, I was actually hoping for a way to get the message included in the menu that comes up when you click on an inlet rather than when you mouse over it; I always disable those assistance bubbles. Looks like this would be the only way though, so I'll turn em on – thanks!

text: The manner in which the Bahrain authorities have imposed a ban on any further recruitment of manpower from Bangladesh is cause for extreme concern. At the same time, it is for us a genuine reason to feel outraged. Coming on the heels of the sufferings Bangladeshi workers have been going through in Malaysia and Saudi Arabia, this new move can only add to our growing disquiet about the future of our manpower export sector. What makes the Bahrain move extremely shocking is that it was recommended by a group of lawmakers in that country following the alleged perpetration of a crime by a Bangladeshi. Any crime committed by anyone in any country is reprehensible, which is why we think that if a Bangladeshi has violated the law in Bahrain he should be dealt with under the law. But for the Bahraini authorities to suppose that one man's crime can be a cause to punish an entire nation through stopping its workers from coming to work in their country is an act that lacks reason itself. Indeed, individuals involved with human rights in Bahrain have protested the move and have described it as an act akin to 'racism'. On its part, the Bangladesh embassy in Manama has made its strong feelings of shock known, calling the Bahraini move unacceptable. What the action now does to Bangladeshis is two-fold. In the first place, those who are already in Bahrain will be treated with suspicion and will find it psychologically difficult to work there. In the second, those who have obtained jobs in Bahrain but are yet to go there will now find their avenues of a happy future blocked. In other words, what we have here is a precarious human rights situation. In a recent editorial on the plight of our workers in Saudi Arabia, we had recommended that the Bangladesh government adopt a strong position by taking up the issue with the Riyadh authorities. What has happened in Bahrain only reinforces our feeling that the Bangladesh authorities, notably through the Foreign Office and the manpower ministry, must now work out a strategy to assist our workers in all the countries where they happen to be in a state of distress. Let special teams go out to Malaysia, Saudi Arabia and Bahrain for some hard-nosed discussions with the governments of those countries. The remittances of our workers abroad are a huge prop for our economy. These workers also bolster the economy of the host countries. We urge the Bahrain government to rethink its entire move in the interest of friendly relations and human rights.

A quick search over at IMDB confirms that actress Rebecca Buller will be playing a character called Jenny Olsen. And there's no mention of Jimmy. Sure, IMDB isn't always the most reliable of websites, but it's worth noting. Plus, fans have already spotted the new Jimmy in the trailer, running with Laurence Fishburne, who is playing Perry White (pictured).

As you all know, unless you have been living under a rock, the new Sex and the City movie came out last week. When the last movie came out we decided to make a celebration out of it. We got all dressed up and started with champagne and snacks then took a taxi to the theatre, watched the movie and then had a limo waiting outside for us. I mean, what girl doesn't like being picked up in a limo... no matter what your age? As much of a blast that we had, we definitely didn't eat enough. What happens when a bunch of girls drink a lot of champagne and not eat enough? Well... enough said. The last movie also had some very unwelcomed drama, courtesy of another girl not in our circle... far too inappropriate for ladies of our age.
This time around we decided it was time to do it again with lots of food and no drama! We got all dressed up and everyone met at our house. I made A LOT of food to be sure that we were all sufficiently fueled. And of course, in true Sex and the City fashion, the champagne was a flowing!
Le Menu...
Spring rolls
Soba noodle salad
Naughty sugar cookies, oh yeah...
Champagne cocktails
Cosmopolitans (ok... we didn't get that far. Probably a good thing)
Everything was delicious and I will be posting recipes and pictures very soon!

The Lyttleton Inn is a restored 19th century farmhouse that sits nestled in the Nashoba Valley, surrounded by the farming towns and villages of yesteryear, yet just steps away from the bustling town common. Seeing to the comfort of a traveller, whether for business or pleasure, is a New England tradition here at the Lyttleton Inn. Our guests discover delights in the most unlikely places; sumptuous feather beds, old-world baking, well-loved books and the gentle art of conversation. We invite you to come explore our wonderful Inn and experience the many activities of the Nashoba Valley region. Littleton is minutes away from two major freeways and the commuter rail, so the Lyttleton Inn is a perfect launch pad for day trips to Harvard, Devens, Lowell, Concord, Lexington and Boston. For the business traveller, the Inn is just a short walk away from the new IBM facility here in Littleton.

Lyttleton Inn was the perfect place for my husband and I to relax, savor being served a delicious breakfast (coffee was great, too), and use as a base for visiting nearby sites. We stayed in "The Naturalist" room. Highlight was being enticed by the many books in the room (their titles chosen to match the theme of the room). Thanks, Mary, for your wonderful hospitality!
1.2 on October 24, 2014
We were refused breakfast unless we notified her the night before if we were having breakfast. "Private bath" had an extremely small shower only, no vanity, with a very small sink. Shower rod fell down repeatedly and the plumbing in the house was very noisy. The bath towels were worn. The mini bottles of shampoo and conditioner were used. The room, dressers and tables were cluttered with excessive knick-knacks. The stairs are very steep making it diffucult to carry our bags upstairs. Food was disappointing. Was repeatedly told by Innkeeper that she was "too busy" to get us ice and fresh coffee. No amenities in the rooms. No TV, coffee maker, microwave, refrigerator nor access to ice. On one morning Innkeeper was "off" and breakfast wasn't provided. Our privacy was compromised when the innkeeper complained to an outside 3rd party about our stay there. We were not shown any respect nor did we ever feel welcomed there by her. Innkeeper went into our room, turned the A/C off and opened the windows instead. The inn is on a busy street and the morning traffic woke us up very early. Innkeeper was over controlling and went into our room and went through items we had bought as gifts, placed them in a cardboard box and put them on the FLOOR under a CHAIR! She was offended when we did not have breakfast and told us that when we did eat "it made her feel that we were comfortable at the inn". Parking was limited in the front of the inn and the Innkeeper took up a prime parking space while making "guests" walk the distance. All other parking was down a hill around the side and back of the building. A considerable way to carry your luggage. There was a bag of trash that sat in the front porch for 3 days before it was removed and was an eyesore. We ended up leaving 5 days early because of the odd and erratic behavior of the Innkeeper and when we went to check out on the last day we were agin told that she was "too busy" to check us out.

Restful, welcoming, and just perfect.
4.4 on August 05, 2014
My wife and I stayed a night here in early July 2014 and enjoyed our stay. The inn resides on a beautifully maintained property, with a farmhouse that feels both open and spacious on the outside yet private and cozy indoors. Mary was helpful and accommodating with our unusual arrival/departure logistics given our recent wedding, and she prepared a wonderful breakfast which we were encouraged to enjoy leisurely. Our only regret is that we did not have more time to spend here, but we would gladly stay here again.
4.6 on June 02, 2014
We were very impressed with the beautiful décor, the warm staff, and comfortable atmosphere of the Lyttleton Inn. There were books everywhere!! I would definitely recommend staying here.
4.8 on May 04, 2014
We truly enjoyed our stay at the Lyttleton and look forward to going back. The room (Mariner Room) was cosy, very clean, decorated with antiques and lovely details, lots of books and, most importantly, a very comfortable bed. The owner, Mary, is absolutely charming and the breakfast and snacks were out-of-this-world delicious. The location was perfect for the purpose of our trip (attending a concert at the Bull Run in Shirley, MA, just minutes away then visit to Lowell and Harvard the next day). Two thumbs way up from us!
5 on January 25, 2014
We had a wonderful stay. We will definatley plan a return visit
4.6 on January 17, 2014
We have stayed at the Lyttleton Inn numerous times when visiting our son at boarding school. Mary is a perfect hostess and wonderful cook. I highly recommend the Lyttleton Inn.

Perfect relaxing spot. Will be back

Confident Weasels
It's easy to be confident in your plans for reform if they aren't serious plans at all, which is why I'm disregarding the otherwise good news that Treasury Secrectary Hank Paulson wants Sarbanes Oxley enforcement relaxed. Notice that he said enforcement, not the law itself. That's a great way to create a temporary reform (politicians do it with drugs, guns, immigration, and other controversial issues all the time, because it's comforting to be one bad poll away from a unilateral policy reversal). If we're going to have useful markets, we need full enforcement of fair rules, not sporadic enforcement of our current hodgepodge of last-minute reforms of the previous boom's most blatant loopholes.

The only ones I have seen this bright have been reprints. They are getting better and better at making fakes. Need to be careful. That's why it's always a good idea to buy a graded card. BGS, PSA and a few others are your best bet. This is all just my opinion. You can take a look at my photobucket link bellow if you want to campare the two.

RE: 86 fleer jordan real or fake?
I wonder why it is in a toploader & not a hard case...?? I would think after 20+ years, somebody would of switched the case... at first glance, it looks too perfect....
wonder why the owner of the card has not sent it in themselves for grading....?? probably because they are scared to find out it is a fake or they already know it's a fake.... hmmm... not sure... Most collectors, even ones that have gave up the hobby long ago... including non-collectors.. would know a MJ RC is very valuable.... I know a few 12 year old kids that know that it is worth hundreds of dollars.. Lets say for discussion purposes... you buy the card that is showing in the OP & which I reposted below.... You send it into BGS or PSA to get graded & it comes back as a fake... now, you go back to the person you bought it from, saying it was a fake... & asking for your money back or what ever cards you traded for the MJ RC... .. Now, the seller says that the card was switched & the one that he sold/traded you was real... how can you prove that it did not get switched? The seller might think you switched it.. while you will think it is either fake, or somebody at BGS/PSA switched it.... You might be out of money.. It is a "he say, she say" situation. Both the buyer & seller's words against each other.... I went to my LCS today to drop off a couple cards that I sold to the owner through ebay.. Save him the shipping costs.... there was a customer in there talking to the shop owner & another long term customer/friend of the owner.. they were discussing sending cards for grading to PSA.. the customer, which is probably around my age (early 30's).. was asking if the LCS sends in cards for grading for customers.. & what the difference in PSA compared to BGS grading... we all know that PSA is a little more easy on grading PSA-9.5 & 10's... while BGS is harder to get a GEM MINT card... I do like the appearance of BGS graded slabs more, but that is only for appearance... ... the owner of the shop said he does not send in cards to grading any longer, because he had a customer accuse him of switching a card.. it was not serialized, so it was another story of "he say, she say".... Customers words Vs. Shop Owners words.... it kind of feels like a lose-lose situation for the shop owner, because he wants to make the customer happy, especially if it is a long term customer.... while as, a seller (if the card being discussed from OP is actually for sale) either gives the money back, or keeps the money believing the card was switched... if it was purchased through a Sports card website (i.e. Beckett or any other forum) or ebay.. then the seller can get negative/bad feedback... from the buyer... they can either accept the bad feedback or try to defend themselves.... it is hard to say what would happen, because every situation is difference... If you are looking for a MJ RC, I'd suggest buying or trading for a graded one.... ... but then again, if you look at another point of view... think about BGS or PSA letting a fake MJ slide through their grading process... I am pretty sure it will happen sooner or later, if not already... some of the grading companies are already accused of letting fake or questionable patches slide through.. there was a MJ letterman 1/2 patch that was brought up to the Beckett Forum's attention recently... .... not to change the subject, but why would 1 out of 23 cards have a letterman patch, while all the rest are jersey swatches..?? & the patch is not even the 1/23 card... doesn't make since.. I am sure the card companies would not let something like that happen.. they'd make a different serial number & call it a different card or version... like MJ patch card, ect.... sorry, just ranting...

RE: 86 fleer jordan real or fake?
I know the OP asked if the card was fake or not.... but I wanted to bring up condition.. if you are going to buy or trade for an ungraded MJ RC... then you should look at condition, because more likely you will want to send it in for grading & pray that it will receive a 9+ grade or higher....
I do not think this card would be worth sending in, if you are trying to make a profit.. & that is my opinion without looking at the card in my hand.. & assuming it is real... I am not a grader, nor have I ever send any cards in for grading... so I do not want to comment on what grade I think the card would get if it was real... look more closely to condition... appears as if there is a crease on left side # 57 & above GO of bulls log on back of card... chipping on front of card, top right on red border.. another possible crease, but may be just a wrinkle in the pennysleeve... front of card, left side of MJ's shorts.. between two larger red blotches, which is supposed to be fans in the background... again, why would the collector keep this card in a toploader? In my opinion, & it is an opinion only.. please do not use it as fact.. but those that want to pass off shaved cards to make them appear that they are perfect would have the card in a toploader & pennysleeve instead of a nice magnetic or screwdown hard case... because those cases are supposed to hold the card perfect, without movement... with the pennysleeve & toploader, there is no way you can tell that the edge was shaved or trimmed... unless you have the card in hand & are able to compare it to another card... hopefully, comparing it to a similar card from same set.. when looking through my 86-87 Fleer set, when I first started chasing it... I found two cards that were shaved... luckily they were commons.. but why would anybody want to shave a card, unless they are trying to pass it off as a better condition than it is.... |

Jul 4, 2013This game features one of the best engine-rendered establishing sequences ever (the very first 15 seconds of waiting for kane in the shanghai street). Unfortunately it's all downhill from then on... this game is seriously boring and even sometimes mesmerizing color palettes can't salvage the mediocre and BADLY REPETITIVE combat.
Nov 3, 2014Have you forced yourself of finishing a game just to see if you get to enjoy it down the road? Well, that's what this game was for me, it's a really unrefined shooter and would never pay $10 for it, I got it in a bundle but wouldn't pay more than $3 for it, and even then I would rather expend the $3 on an indie game who will be over 5h of fun.

Feb 5, 2012Generic shooter but it has + 2 points for atmosphere. The gameplay and ai is bad, but the voice acting and story are pretty good. The atmosphere is spot on and the amateur camera filter is a nice effect. The story is super short, finished the game in 3.8hrs. I just like how much effort the devs put into the atmosphere :)
Nov 3, 2011
Nov 19, 2012I miss this kind of games, its no about the gameplay , graphics, the amount of missions or the amount of characters or weapons,is to represent the life of its respective theme , this game represents the risks to be a mob and how you lose all the people at you´re enviroment, this game is a nice example of how has to be the story of two poor bastards, not all is
Dec 15, 2012
Aug 19, 2010Look of the game is fantastic and innovative but...game play is terrible and characters/story underwritten. Absolute wasted opportunity. Makes Dead Men look like a classic in comparison. Epic fail as people say.
Aug 23, 2010
Nov 8, 2010i loved this game and the original have not encountered The @#$%^'s of hacks that are in modern warfare. Wish the weapons were scoped Then again i just got it maybe later you can look down the scope.

Jul 26, 2011Pick it up cheap. Multiplayer is dead, but singleplayer is good fun. Not nearly as bad as the reviews stated. Film grain and shakycam can be disabled, so all that whining is useless. It's like the first game, but with better gameplay and shooting controls. I loved it.
Mar 3, 2012This is the best K&L game, I donno y ppl didn't like it... I was totally happy with the "real-movie-made-on-phonecam" feature, it adds the game more realism, and also - the graphics was cool enough and so on =)
Oct 19, 2012I had a look at the demo on Steam,its great fun.I don't know if its worth a full price tag after the reviews I have read its only 3-4 hours long,but if I can get it in the sale i will be buying it,even though there are a few glitches and the cover system isn't the most responsive.I will give it a 7 for pure atmosphere and excitement.What a shame it isn't longer and a bit more polished.

Aug 8, 2015I know what you're thinking, the game is probably bad but hey it costs virtually nothing on a sale right? Wrong! Not only is the game is not worth it at 50 cents, every moment you spend on this terrible game is time taken away from a good game. If you value your time, don't waste it on this garbage.

Dec 11, 2012Duck Hunt 3D directed by Quentin Tarantino. Gameplay is generic cover-based shooting with bloody screens and stupid AI. Story has great potential but is cut off abruptly with no sequel (thankfully) in sight. Completely average and forgettable.

Aug 18, 2010much better than the first one. the visual style, the whole grimey feeling of the game is amazing, plus i cant stop playing the multiplayer. recommended!!!!!

Aug 21, 2010
Aug 19, 2010A very bad game, with poor game mechanics and a terrible story. I recommend you read Destructoid's review of this game before even considering a purchase.
Aug 21, 2010
Aug 17, 2010Total failure. Story is boring and short. Cover system is broken. Some enemies are like minibosses. AI is straightforward, just rushing at you. More and more... I just can't think of a good thing about this game. Stay away. And don't even believe any of the review(er)s that gave this game a good score.
Aug 24, 2010Liked the attempt at the gritty/realism style, but the controls were imperfect. I uninstalled this one early after replaying the same stupid section (and watching the same stupid unskippable minute-long cutscene that started the section) ten stupid times.

Aug 22, 2010Forget constructive criticism, I just can't understand why this garbage is allowed to exist and why money grubbing developers are allowed to make a profit off of it. Stay at least 10.5 Kilometers away from this putrid, gimmicky, console-oriented trash.
Aug 19, 2010
Sep 6, 2010I nominate Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days as one of 2010's worst game. Forget constructive criticisms, I already lost enough time "playing" that piece of garbage!
Nov 25, 2010If you enjoy PC games then this is NOT for you. Not in the slightest. The game fails miserably at the control part. It's unplayable. Unless you got a xbox/ps3 controller lying around.
Only the force unleashed beats this port in being useless. I usually write half-page long reviews but this doesn't deserve it, not anywhere near. -
Oct 3, 2010Really a crap game made by- and for- people who think mindless swearing and a lack of imagination is cool . 2 points for the look of singapore, or shanghai, or whatever.
Jun 19, 2011Don't listen to the haters. Actually this game was really fun and is almost one of best cooperative games I ever played. Visual effects were really good, I have never seen before such filters. I truly loved it. At beginning I didn't like the weapons since I couldn't hit with them, however later you get better weapons.
Kane & Lynch 2 Dog Days is for real gamers. -
Nov 26, 2010Big fail.....no story at all, just killing. The game play is bad. I spent $60 for such a damn stupid game.....
Couldn't believe some people give 10 to this game.... -
Jan 11, 2011Gears of War (which is bad) with shakycam (bad) and shakycam (bad) and shakycam (bad) and a poor excuse for a story that's more about trying to offend you rather than make any coherent sense (very bad!). Also two and a half hours long.

Dec 8, 2011Okay, I'm not gonna lie; "Kane and Lynch 2: Dog Days" is a great looking game but terrible if you play it for even a short second. It's like a film with all the shaky camera and grim environment, but terribly used within the game. The graphics are straight out-dated and gameplay is very linear. Hell, the multiplayer doesn't even get support! How the **** do I play this game?!
Aug 19, 2010
Sep 6, 2011This entire game from start to finish is just outright awful, I recommend that you should look else where if you want to play a solid cover based shooter.

Sep 8, 2010
Dec 18, 2010It's done the camera idea so well that it looks like a dog vomited on my screen. The action is alright, the story is fair and the game has enough swearing to last a lifetime.
Mar 25, 2011Gameplay - 6.5 , Graphics - 7.5 , Story - 5.0 , Playing time - 5~10 hours. Singleplayer is boring and short. Multiplayer is ok but no one is playing it, so it's like non-exist.
Apr 26, 2011This game is good but the shaking camera gets a little bit on my nerves. The story is fantastic, the KI is a little bit stupid and the violence level is very high but this doesnt matter.
Jun 10, 2011Far from perfect, but if you can appreciate what Square Enix was trying to achieve, there can be something good to be seen in Kand & Lynch 2. The games major downfall is its short length and repetitive gameplay.

Jul 19, 2013I can understand the hate for this game, because the gameplay is mediocre at best. But it has a really gritty and catching atmosphere. It shows that once you get into the life of crime, there is no way back. It's very-very dark and depressing, and that's why I think it's really special creation from IO interactive.
Dec 2, 2013Ta gra jest fenomenalną strzelanką. Całość jest tak chora, że już chyba bardziej się nie da. Grafika odbiega od najlepszych standardów (całość jest jak gdyby kręcona kamerą VHS z wolnej ręki) ale nie o to tutaj chodzi, bo strzelanina jest zwyczajnie wyborna. Daję tej grze 10 bo oceniam grywalność i guzik mnie obchodzi wszystko to co w tej grze działa źle...

Jan 2, 2015The story line is not as good as in the first Kane & Lynch. But still, this is a very good game, with a good graphics and game mechanics. A lot of action and shooting.
Jul 31, 2014Sick program, thats all i can say. I love the unsympathetic characters too. Maybe its not better then Dead Men, but definitely a good game. COME BAACK YOU LITTLE SH****t
Oct 14, 2013
Nov 23, 2013Great game !
Works even on weak PC's even thought it has pretty nice graphics .
Story is better then on Dead Man and cover system was fixed *Was impossible to take cover normally in Dead Man*
Actually this part is also funnier .
Co-op if really fun .
But IO interactive has messed up with Multiplayer part of the game -
Jul 3, 2015Retarded Ai, glitches everywhere, shaky camera in a **** 3rd person mode. Just freaking horrible i couldn't even get past the first mission every cell in my body told me to alt-f4 and play something else. Just stay away.
Aug 12, 2015This is one of the games you regret buying at ANY price.
Horrible game is awful.
I would describe it in better terms but there's no words.

PC FormatDec 25, 2010A massive upgrade on the first game, but don't blame us if you get a bit tired of shooting people in the face. [Issue#244, p.106]
AceGamezThe best advice i can give is to trust your own instincts: even after reading this, if the concept and setting still appeal to you, definitely give it a chance. Just don't expect to feel the same way when it's over.
Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days is an interesting beast because it really shouldn't exist. Outside of a unique art style it brings nothing new to the genre and does little to improve over the original game, which I might add, was far from a good game.

The White House just released President Obama's financial disclosures May 15, highlighting what he is worth and where he puts his money. If I could be so bold, I'd like to offer some financial advice to our Commander in Chief on how he could command a little bit better results from his investment portfolio and personal finances.
So pull up a chair, Mr. Obama, and let's chat if you have a minute or two.
For starters, you're doing a lot of things right. You're much better off than many Americans. You might be a bit nervous since your current contract is up in 2016. But don't sweat it because you have some marketable skills, based on what I see.
REPORT: See Obama's 2012 financial disclosure report
For instance, your book royalties are impressive, and I sense a second career here. Dreams from My Father generated $100,001 to $1 million last year according to your disclosure — as did Of Thee I Sing: A Letter to My Daughters, though you graciously donate the after-tax proceeds to a scholarship fund to benefit children of fallen and disabled soldiers. On top of that, Audacity of Hope racked up $50,001 to $100,000 in 2012 royalties.
Anything happen in the last few years that might warrant another book? No rush, but think it over.
Now, on to retirement planning. At 31, you started saving for retirement as an instructor at the University of Chicago. That's a very early head-start on retirement compared with many other Americans. The sooner you start saving the better, since it gives you more time to grow your money and take advantage of compound interest. You can afford to be a bit more aggressive with your investments with so much daylight until retirement.
So way to think ahead, 44.
I am most impressed by your focus on low-cost index funds in your investments. Some guys think they are smarter than Wall Street and waste a lot of time and money picking stocks and paying high fees … only to make less money in the long run.
Not you. Your disclosure shows two positions in the Vanguard 500 Index fund worth $100,001 to $250,000 each, and a third position at $50,001 to $100,000.
The "admiral" class of the Vanguard 500 Index mutual fund charges just 0.05% in expenses — or a measly $5 for every $10,000 invested. And it's diversified across the entire Standard & Poor's 500-stock market index, which owns 500 of the largest American companies.
Nice work. I wish other investors would follow your lead here.
Of course, everyone can improve. So if I may be so bold, Mr. President, here are some items to talk over with Michelle — and, of course, your financial adviser.
For starters, why haven't you refinanced your Illinois home yet? According to your filing, your 2005 mortgage has a 5.625% interest rate. That's like twice what you'd qualify for as a responsible borrower. Currently, 15-year mortgages are around 2.8%, and a 30-year fixed is only 3.7%.
Save yourself some interest. The house is worth between $500,001 and $1 million, so this isn't chump change.
Also, refinancing means your next year of payments will be mostly mortgage interest, which is tax-deductible.
Next, on to your retirement strategy. While I applaud your focus on the S&P index fund, I am a bit shocked to see such a huge portion of your portfolio in U.S. Treasuries.
You're getting gray, sure, but you have enough years left that you don't have to be wholly in capital preservation mode just yet. Yes, U.S. government debt remains the safe haven of the world, but you missed out on quite a rally in the stock market by accepting low returns with these low-risk investments.
Specifically, your single biggest position in your disclosure is $1 million to $5 million in Treasuries. Sure, it generated $5,001 to $15,000 in income last year — but the stock market is up handsomely. Simply rotating some of that cash into your Vanguard fund would have netted a much bigger gain.
Anyway, I don't mean to harp. On the whole, I am very impressed with your financial planning here.
One other great item in your disclosure worth noting is your participation in 529 savings plans for your kids — the equivalent of an IRA that is earmarked for college. It is a great move for any parent with bright daughters like yours.
But hey, I don't have to tell you that you shouldn't take anything for granted when it comes to finances, right? You have to keep your eye on the ball.
Talk things over with Michelle. And let me know if you need an editor when your current gig ends and you think about pursuing that book thing seriously.

Maybe some day. In the mean time I'll just sit here and chuckle about the manner in which Chris Trivizas chose to deliver his wedding invitations: Advertisement "We are going to tie the knot. In the Greek language, there is an expression that uses the word "hang" in order to say "marry". So, traditionally, when the father of the bride says "I will hang them", he means that he will tie the couple with the holly bond of marriage. This tradition inspired a humorous invitation that includes both a rope and instructions on how to make a slip knot."Clever, Chris, very clever! Careful, though. As the ol' saying goes, "give a man enough rope and he'll hang himself." Seems to come into play here, for some reason. Maybe it's just me.

If you want anything said, ask a man. If you want something done, ask a woman.
-Margaret Thatcher
A beautiful child was brought to Earth.
A beautiful child with curly hairlocks and big shiny eyes.
The lips curl into smile,the eyes twinkle ,litting up the dark blue sky
Seeing the presence of its beloved parents smiling back with such each
The sweet child smile widen
Showing its toothless smile,clapping her hands in excitement,
Snuggling and sniffing the warm and pleasant whiff of her mum's perfume
Twitching its little fragile nose as it yawns in tiredness
As her mum cradles her to sleep
Protecting her from every evil that's present.
Now this sweet angel has finally reached a new age
A new year,a new day
To celebrate the beautiful day of its beautiful existence
This sweet toddler is no more holding onto her parents to have her first walk.
She has evolved into a beautiful lady
A lady imbibed with etiquettes and qualities
Nurtured with care and intelligence
A lady who is simply like spring who spread joy and love wherever she goes
Whether its her loved ones or simply just mere acquaintances
Yet still some attributes of that sweet angel has not faded
Her beautiful smile and her twinkling eyes
That simply touch the soul of her dear ones
You cant help but to smile
You cant help but to shed tears of joy
Since our dear sweet angel has finally turn nineteen today.
Our sweet gentle lady
Just like her name Lana
We ,all your dear ones would like to express our happiness,our love
By simply saying
Many Many Happy Returns of the day dear
Happy Birthday to you.
May All your wishes come true
May you always be this cheerful jovial self
Always springing our into our lives
With tons and tons of happiness and love
May God Bless you with great health
May God bestow you with great wisdom and intelligence
Be happy always.
Happy 19th Birthday Once again

How do I express what you mean to me? You are a wonderful person. You are always there for me. I can tell you everything without even have a doubts. When I'm depressed, you always try to comfort me and make me happy. I'm so lucky to have a sis like you. I'm so proud of having an older sis like you. I love talking with you about everything. We are so similar, that's probably why we always agree on the same thing apart from our fight about Gurmeet and Karan . You are the nicest person I have ever known. You are much more than a sis and a friend to me. How much I write, I won't be able to express what you mean to me. And I'm sure you know better than me how bad I'm at expressing things by words . I just want to say that I love you so much, that no one can love you that much except for your parents .
Jaanu i'm soo soo sorry that i didn't make any siggies ir anything, i wish i could make siggies
You said to me I love you, very very much, very very much

LA MIRADA, Calif. - For the fourth consecutive year, UC San Diego brought home league titles as both the men and women placed first at the 2012 Pacific Coast Swimming and Diving Conference Championships at the Splash! La Mirada Aquatic Center Saturday.
The Triton women, ranked No. 1 in the country, won three events Saturday to top the field with 1663.5 points over the four-day event. Cal Baptist was second with 1268.5 points and Fresno Pacific placed a distant third with 733.
The men, ranked third nationally, picked up four victories to finish the Championships with 1649 points over second place Cal Baptist (1422) and third place Concordia (1133).
"This was a total team win," said UCSD co-head coach Matt Macedo. "Our senior class provided the leadership to keep our team on track throughout this long week of racing. I cannot wait to see what this team is capable of in a couple of weeks (at NCAA's) as I believe the best is yet to come."
Nick Korth, the reigning national champion in the 200 breaststroke, won the event today with a time of 1:57.47. The Tritons mirrored their performance in Friday's 100 breast, capturing the top four spots with See Han Lee in second (2:00.96), Jacob Lammott in third (2:01.27) and Griffin Bracke in fourth (2:03.66).
Other individual winners for the men included Martin Vanek in the 200 backstroke (1:49.87) and Adam Rice in the 200 butterfly (1:49.53).
The men's 400 free relay went to the Triton team of Reid McCallum, Alex Merrill, Bracke and Blake Langland, who posted a winning time of 3:01.17.
Matt Herman was UCSD's top finisher in the 1650 freestyle, placing second with a time of 15:37.30. McCallum was second in the 100 freestyle, clocking a 45.86.
The Triton women also dominated in the 200 breaststroke. Emily Adamczyk took the win, swimming a 2:16.71. She was followed by teammates Neda Nguyen in second (2:19.22), Eva Chen in third (2:20.57) and Casey Adams in fourth (2:21.63).
Alex Henley was victorious in the 200 backstroke with a time of 1:58.19.
The women's 400 free relay team of Sierra Robbins, Amber Tan, Jaclyn Amog and Chen was also a winner, combining to swim a 3:29.13 for the victory.
Bethany Dong was second in the 1650 free (17:17.04), Gabby Rossbach was third in the 200 fly (2:05.50) and Olivia Fountain was UCSD's best peformer in the 100 free, placing fourth (51.86).
Throughout the PCSC Championships, the Tritons won a combined 26 events, 14 for the men and 12 for the women. Ten of the 26 victories came in relay events. Henley and Korth each won three individual events. Rice and Anji Shakya had two wins apiece.
"Overall I'm very proud of the teams' performance," UCSD co-head coach Corrie Falcon said. "Now it's time to refocus on having the best NCAA's in school history."
The NCAA Championships take place Mar. 14-17 in Mansfield, Texas. Although the exact number of qualifiers won't be known for a couple of weeks, UCSD is expecting to have around 16 men and 14 women, plus three men's divers, competing in Texas.
