If you want to want to accomplish the one great thing, it makes no difference whether you reside amongst the ordained or not, among men or women, beginning or senior students. Everything lies within your final sincere singular thought. What I see that is different in the princess's innate disposition compared to others is that from the beginning, there has never been selfishness or suspicion or a deluded mind, there has been nothing other than an entirely sincere mind searching for the complete and unsurpassed supreme enlightenment of Buddhahood. Isn't it as if you've been permeated with the correct dharma of wisdom through a close association with Seon knowledge from some countless eons ago in the past? As the ancients say, "A grown man is not someone who pays attention to a woman's figure, a grown man is someone who is endowed with the four dharmas." These four dharmas are: one, an acquaintance with the knowledge of Seon; two, hearing the correct teachings; three, thinking about the meaning of those teachings; and four, acting in accordance with those teachings. If you are imbued with these four dharmas, it can truly be said that you are fully grown, if not, though you may have the body of an adult, it cannot be said that you are fully grown.
I pray, my princess, that you believe this teaching beyond a shadow of a doubt and that you ceaselessly focus on your hwadu everyday, twenty four hours a day, in all four of the bodies postures, whether walking, standing, sitting or lying down. If you concentrate without stopping, never resting, and question your hwadu whether in the midst of tranquility or noisiness, even if you are not trying to concentrate, you will naturally concentrate. When speaking or being silent, even if you are not questioning your hwadu, you naturally question. Awake or asleep, your hwadu appears before you and though you may want to forget it, you do not; though you may want to awake from it, you will not awaken. In this mental state, unwittingly the body is overturned and abandoned. It is here where a woman's body changes into a man's, a man's body changes and becomes a Buddha. This is my most ardent and sincere request of you.

A non-governmental organization, Al-Ummah Orphans Foundation, has called for support from Nigerians to better the lives of orphans in the country.
Chairman of the foundation, Ambassador Lawan Gana Guba, made the call yesterday when he led a team of the organization's leadership to the Media Trust office in Abuja.
He said the foundation was established in 2009 to provide care and support to orphans in the areas of medical care, sustenance, shelter and education.
Guba said the group has so far created an e-database and registered 3,191 orphans in 28 pilot areas in the FCT, established a temporary orphanage at Nurul Bayan Academy in Abuja which will become operational from this month.
He added that the group has also designed an intervention programme for community-based orphans who are not in orphanages.
He said the foundation also intended to build an orphans facility centre, facilitate the establishment of orphanages and launch the foundation's appeal fund, among other initiatives.

Luv Pops are cherry flavored heart shaped suckers, each individually wrapped,made especially for the season of love. Luv Pops are a true Valentine?s Day tradition, selling hundreds of thousands each year on this especially romantic holiday. With classic pink, red, and purple wrappers featuring puppy and kitten love, these red, heart-shaped treats are as delectable as they are adorable. Each sweet sucker features a lovely saying: "Tru Luv," "Puppy Luv," "Fun Luv" and "Ur My Luv." Could there be a better way to express your "luv"?
"When I found the old popcorn maker stashed away in a back closet of our FOB (Forward Operating Base), I couldn't imagine it would ever work. After some parts and TLC, I got it running again. The next step was figuring out how to get the troops working for me some popcorn to eat! I called several companies, tried Amazon, etc. Nobody was able to ship a large bag of popcorn, salt, and oil to an APO address. Then I tried Nationwide Candy, and Jason was immediately able to put together my order and get it shipped out to me. Nationwide Candy and Jason have no idea how happy they have made my 200 troops to have a little taste of home out here in Afghanistan. It's the little things from back home that keep us going, and Nationwide Candy had a big part in that. THANK YOU!"by Mitchell H. on 10/16/2014

Currently, I'm addicted to three pick-up-and-play iOS games. One is the match-three game Candy Crush Saga. Another is the bubble-shooting game Super Snack Time. And the third is the match-three game and bubble shooting game hybrid Supermagical, which has just been updated to version 2.0.
Supermagical 2.0 introduces quite a few improvements. Among these are iPhone 5 support, new achievements, and Russian and Chinese translations.
There's also a new Ice Cream item, which effectively undoes your last shot. Facebook integration is also added, allowing you to share your best scores with your friends on the world's largest social network.
Furthermore, Supermagical now has a color-blind mode. What this does is it associates a unique shape to each color, enabling color-blind players to match the shapes rather than the colors.
If you can't see the video embedded above, please click here.
But perhaps the most "super" improvement in Supermagical 2.0 is the brand new online cooperative multiplayer mode.
Powered by Game Center, Supermagical's cooperative mode lets you play with your friends and family and with other witches and wizards around the world.
What's more, this new mode comes with new cooperative rankings, new avatars, new jewels, and even new pets.
Compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad running iOS 4.3 or later, Supermagical 2.0 is available now in the App Store.
As you may have already learned from yesterday's AppsGoneFree post, the game can now be downloaded for free.

HOOVER, Ala. -- Let's go ahead and say Auburn is clean, or at least cleared by the NCAA. Cam Newton took nothing more than a scholarship when he stepped on campus. Let's say the four former players who alleged extra benefits on HBO's Real Sports were malcontents with an agenda.
Let's say all of it goes away. Auburn still can't celebrate. The glass football has been won but doesn't have permanency. What we, they, are enduring is the most unfulfilled title in recent history. As long the likes of Danny Sheridan roam the halls of Wynfrey Hotel during SEC media days, no true Auburn fan -- or media member -- can ever rest.

"I have friends," said the longtime oddsmaker, "who know friends at the NCAA."
That was the first sign quiet will not descend upon The Plains for a while. Through those friends, Sheridan said to anyone who would listen Thursday, he learned that a "bag man" delivered Cam Newton and father $180,000-$200,000 to play at Auburn.
Sure, you've heard it all before but not lately and not from a guy who, according to his own website, has "renowned expertise in the sports betting industry." Welcome back to the circus. With Ohio State on the docket, North Carolina waiting in the lobby and compliance nationally in shambles, it's possible we've found someone with a rep as questionable as Auburn's to sort it all out.
How does Sheridan know this? The 36-year veteran of point spreading has sources beyond those who allegedly can pick up a phone and reach inside the NCAA.
"Agents, football coaches, basketball coaches, people I have known for 30 years," Sheridan said.
The names of those gentlemen cozy with the sports betting industry giant are not available upon request at the moment.
If you've forgotten about him -- and you probably have -- Sheridan gained some level of notoriety working for USA Today and, at one time, CBS. On Thursday, he was working radio row here because the day before, he first made the allegations on the nationally syndicated Paul Finebaum radio show.
"I asked [sources] point blank, 'What is the NCAA looking into?' and two different people told me the same thing," Sheridan told reporters on Thursday. "Roughly, let's just say $180,000-$200,000, allegedly, was given. Of that amount $20,000-$30,000 went to [Cecil Newton's] church. The rest of it would have gone to the family."
Sheridan's sources have been so good that he has been accurate on, he says, "45 of 46" NCAA-related stories in the past 20 years. If you can remember one of those, hit me up on Twitter. It is certain, in some strange way, Gene Chizik and Auburn have become sympathetic figures.
Chizik looked like he would rather sing "Rammer Jammer" with Harvey Updyke on the 50 at Bryant-Denny than face reporters on Thursday. Nine of the 22 questions posed to him in the main interview session had the words "NCAA", "Cam Newton", "code of silence" or "bag man" in them.
"Typically, I don't talk about what I thought were private meetings," the coach said.
|Six months after celebrating a dream season, Gene Chizik is still answering questions about Cam Newton and NCAA investigations. (AP)
"You'll know when we're finished [investigating]," Roe Lach told Chizik according to the New York Times, "and we're not finished."
In other words, sit down, shut up and let us do our jobs.
In a strange way, we feel for you, Aubie. No one should have to go through the crap that has lingered since Cam was declared ineligible for a day last year. At least USC got to celebrate its 2004 national championship for a few years. One of the subplots of January's BCS title game was whether Cecil Newton was in the crowd.
It's easy to picture Auburn coaches sitting around years from now, beers in hand, reminiscing about 2010 and somebody says: "Hey, remember Danny Sheridan?"
Buzz meet kill.
This is not to say Sheridan is wrong, he's merely the latest to open his mouth. For some unknown reason, his voice mattered the past couple of days. If we want a line on Auburn-Alabama, he's a go-to guy. As an Alabama grad commenting on Auburn, well, you can almost picture the villagers lighting their torches. Frankenstein wears polyester.
What Sheridan was offering Thursday is essentially what broke in November. It's just that the NCAA isn't in the business of alerting schools it has completed investigations, which on some level is unfair. The further problem is the likelihood that this little inquiry has barely started. Auburn hasn't received so much as a letter of inquiry, which is usually followed by notice of allegations, which can lead to an infractions committee appearance. All that comes before the penalties.
So if Roe Lach/NCAA are still investigating and Sheridan is alleging, who are we to doubt a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy? Sheridan stands by his word so much that he puts the odds at "50-50" that anything ever happens to Auburn on this matter.
Maybe less than 50-50.
"The odds are against this party stepping forward and saying, 'Yes, I did this,' " Sheridan said.
That's comforting to somebody, somewhere. Just not sure who. It's good to know that this slice of surreality had some sort of closure Thursday. The two parties actually ran into each other at one point in a Wynfrey hallway.
"Oh, Danny Sheridan. There you are," Chizik said.
They shook hands. No punches -- or punchlines -- were thrown.

A 16-year-old boy from Panama, Okla., was pronounced dead in a Tulsa hospital Sunday (Dec. 1), after being shot by a friend Saturday (Nov. 23), according to Panama Police.
The incident happened Saturday afternoon around 2 on Pierce Road in Panama, authorities said. The victim and a 14-year-old friend were returning from a camping trip when the 14-year-old tripped, causing his gun to go off, according to Sgt. Andrew Bevil with Panama Police. The bullet struck 16-year-old Ryan Self in the neck.
"It just wasn't supposed to happen to him," said aunt, Regina Hall.
The 16-year-old was immediately taken by medical helicopter to St. Francis in Tulsa for treatment, Bevil said.
Family of Self said he wanted to be a firefighter when he graduated from Panama High School.
"He liked to hunt," said Hall. "He loved helping with the fire department. He helped them a lot, he never met a stranger."
The incident is being investigated by authorities as an accidental shooting, according to Bevil. At this time, the 14-year-old has not been arrested, and no charges have been filed, according to Panama Police. The case is being sent to the District Attorney, who will then decide if any charges will be filed, Bevil said.

text: What an interesting story and wonderfully large collection of ships. I'm glad you've seen the light when it comes to sailing ships. They are fascinating vessels and there are still many original examples left in the world both as static attractions and active ships, in addition to the large number of sail training vessels. In Southern California we are very fortunate to have the 1863-built STAR OF INDIA (ex EUTERPE), the world's oldest active sailing ship, in the care of the San Diego Maritime Museum. Among many other aspects of her career, this ship transported immigrants for Shaw Savill Line to New Zealand and on round-the-world service. Sailing ships are part of the continuum that should be of interest to passenger ship enthusiasts as vessels switched from sails to steam continuing to evolve to motorships and the cruise industry of today.

The Right Direction
Ron Howard goes mano a mano with industry multitasker Steve Martin to recall his fifty remarkable years in the business photographs by Sebastian Kim
SM: So you started acting at six on The Andy Griffith Show. Your dad, Rance, was also an actor.
RH: My dad was a good teacher. He'd never been to Strasberg, but he'd taken enough classes to understand the fundamentals—just to listen and really think about what the other person is saying and then talk. With Andy Griffith, there was an open, collaborative spirit. Andy created it that way, and I'm forever grateful, because it shaped my entire creative life. One of the things he would allow is a conversation like this.
SM: Right. Yes, Andy...he doesn't have one dramatic moment to shine, just a solid consistency.
RH: For a kid, growing up in an environment where all the actors were allowed to actually witness the problem solving all around us—and even be encouraged to participate—was spectacular. There were a lot of laughs, but nobody ever fumbled through a scene. Nothing was ever phoned in.
RH: I chose to do Happy Days because of Vietnam. I was a film major at USC, but I had a horrible draft number, and I felt if I was employed by Gulf + Western [then owner of Paramount], they would find some way to keep me out of the jungle. Then the draft went away, Happy Days went on to be a success, and I was happy to have the job. I went out and bought a 16mm Moviola and set it in our living room. [Then new wife] Cheryl and I had a little apartment in Los Feliz. She thought it was crazy, but I thought soon I would start making a movie on the weekends. When Roger Corman wanted me to do Eat My Dust, I had some film to show him.
Happy Days turned out to be vital in a number of ways. Its success gave me the leverage and profile that was invaluable in making people listen no matter what I wanted to say—even the uncomfortable reality that I wanted to talk about directing. It made Roger Corman want me to direct for him. It exposed me to Garry Marshall and his style of leadership and introduced me to Tom Miller, one of the show's executive producers who had actually been mentored by Billy Wilder. He was astute and articulate, and between setups, it was inspiring to talk to him. Garry is a natural teacher—and I am a natural student. Every time he had a lull in his day, he'd be making me laugh and teaching me something about the business—especially the value of editing and the way comedy is like algebra and needs to be constructed, plus invaluable stories about pitching to the network and actually selling. I saw him as the consummate problem solver. If he needed to be forceful, he was. He would check his ego at the door and be charming. It was unbelievable to see him handle the success of the show and channel peoples' energies in a most constructive way.
At one point, when the show was transitioning, my renegotiations with the network were kind of annoying. Garry was extremely supportive. He said that moments like this, when you are dealing with disappointment, is when you are defined as a person. He would just say, "You are doing great," and pat me on the back—really one of the greatest compliments anyone has ever paid me. It was kind of an acknowledgment and a good piece of advice all at once, a show of respect. The choice to leave Happy Days was a big one, because the show was still top 10, and my contract was finally up, and the network was offering me a lot of money to stay. By then I was producing and directing TV movies. It was a real watershed moment, but creative opportunities and control were the driving considerations, not the financials.
SM: Those moments where you leave steady work to go out on your own are always frightening, but they're always necessary.
SM: I'm curious about the years just prior to Night Shift.
RH: Roger Corman gave me this deal— I had to act in Eat My Dust in order to get a chance to direct Grand Theft Auto. He had seen a couple of my 16mm short movies and had read this script my father and I wrote—kind of like an indie movie. And he said, "That's pretty good writing, but it's about people, and it's not a genre movie. It's not really what we do here." Then he looked at my short films and said, "But I think you can direct. If you act in Eat My Dust, I'll let you write an outline for a script. If that works out, I'll let you direct it, but you'll have to be in it. If none of that works, I promise I'll let you direct the car-crash unit in one of my films." Well, that was as close to a firm deal as I'd come. I remember standing out on Sunset and telling my agent, "Don't come to this meeting," because I was going to take his bargain. I didn't care how much I was getting paid to act in Eat My Dust if I was going to get a chance to direct. And it was a big hit.
SM: So you accidentally became a movie star?
RH: Well, it worked out!
SM: I ask myself, Why don't I direct? I don't think I have the stamina. I might shortcut something just to go home. That's my biggest curiosity about directors—this stamina.
RH: Well, I think you have to have it; otherwise, it's too miserable. And I'm finding it easier to direct. I'm less tired at the end of a movie, even though I still wake up in the middle of the night. That's why acting is a great jumping-off place for directing. I think most experienced, intelligent actors could probably do a very decent job of directing a television show or film if they chose to. But they might not like it. And if they are miserable, they're probably going to make lousy choices, because the clock is ticking. Even if you're an "A" director with a lot of latitude and final cuts, you have to move through the day and get the shots. That means hundreds and hundreds of choices, and some are compromises.
SM: One time I directed two short episodes of this sitcom with Harvey Korman and Valerie Perrine [Leo & Liz in Beverly Hills]. It was the first time I'd ever directed anything, and on day one, people said, "How fast do you want the car to go?" and I said, "Uh...I don't know. We'll have to see." Day two, they said, "How fast do you want the car to go?" and I said, "Uh, 25 miles per hour?"
RH: [Laughs.] Yeah, yeah, I know.
SM: I've found that the best directors I've worked with are the ones who understand acting, and the worst did not know how to talk to actors.
RH: I think probably if I get nostalgic about any of the films I've done, the best part is that creative interaction with actors. It's incredibly exciting for me to not know the answer but be a part of the conversation that leads to it.
RH: Originally, I wanted to direct this movie almost like The Kentucky Fried Movie—some sort of broadly satirical sketch. But then we said, "Let's make it real—funny but real."
SM: I remember when I first saw the movie, I came out thinking, Uh, everybody was so good in it, except me. I'm driving home beating myself up, and then I'm like, Wait, Ron Howard didn't hire six really good actors and one lousy actor. I must be all right.
RH: I'd never worked with a superstar before—I mean, I'd been cautious about getting into a situation where I could find myself pushed around. So a lot of things were very exciting about Parenthood, but it was also a little daunting because it was new territory.
SM: I feel the same. Sometimes when I'm about to go on Letterman or host the Oscars or play an instrument on-stage, I think, Wait, I've done this a thousand times. One joke I think of when I have to make a speech is if I were to say, "You know, I'm not really used to getting up in front of people..."
RH: Apollo 13 was a pivotal directing experience for me, because we were trying to be so truthful. At a certain point I realized I couldn't allow myself to embellish. So instead of imploring [the audience] to be reached by this moment or that, I just trusted the narrative. And it worked.
SM: I think when I read something or watch a film that's supposed to be historical, I always think, Was that exactly the way it was?
RH: I remember when one reviewer was upset because of a scene in Apollo 13 where the wife of Jim Lovell was nervous about him being stranded in space, and her ring fell off in the shower and she lost it. The movie was criticized for having a really manipulative moment, but it absolutely happened! I had one preview card on Apollo 13 with just this comment: "More Hollywood bulls--t. They would never survive."
SM: How did you first become interested in the idea for A Beautiful Mind? What made you think people were going to be interested in math?
RH: How to make people interested in math was something I figured out later. Akiva Goldsman did a fantastic job [on the screenplay]. Both of his parents are shrinks, so he came up with the idea that the delusions were characters. I thought it could work if it was more a study of an illness than a story of a life. I viewed the illness as evil. I felt the journey was conquering that. I began to see it as a rescue story. That was familiar, because I'd made the same discovery in Apollo 13. And I found it moving as a husband-and-wife story.
SM: What was the sense of achievement like when you and your team won the Oscar for Beautiful Mind?
RH: It meant a great deal...but I was disappointed Russell Crowe didn't win. It wasn't so much, "You like me, you really like me," because I'd felt liked for a really long time. I'm fortunate that way. You know, we had this funny moment after I'd gotten the director's award, and I was waiting in the wings because the next one up was Best Picture. Tom Hanks was announcing Beautiful Mind winning. Brian [Grazer] hopped up onstage, and I came out from the wings, collected the awards, walked off—and immediately, I was hit with the most severe stomach cramps I've ever had without actually vomiting.
SM: Really?
RH: It was burning, and my back was killing me, and I realized it had been four hours of tension being released. They told us to wait, that they were going to take us to the pressroom. I said, "Boy, my stomach hurts," and Brian reached into his tuxedo pocket and pulled out Tums. It was like a Life Savers commercial for middle-aged men with stomach problems.
[As we go to press, the movie has just landed Howard Oscar noms for Best Picture and Director.]
RH: This film is interesting because you're dealing with transcripts. It turns out all the big lines, all the turning points, are virtually verbatim. So the first half of the story is about David Frost staging the event, getting Nixon to say yes, trying to get the money, failing to get the money, putting up the money himself—his struggle more as an entrepreneur than anything else.
SM: Seems like that would be some-thing you could get money for.
RH: Well, the networks wouldn't go with Frost. They wanted their own anchors to do it. And he wanted to be the interviewer. He wound up being the first one—although we don't quite make this point—to create a fourth network. He linked together a bunch of television stations and said, "We'll just be our own network for a night."
SM: Ahead of his time!
RH: I got a great bunch of film actors to take the supporting roles. I really wanted to look at the interview from other perspectives, even just fleetingly, so that if an audience couldn't relate on a human level with characters as iconic as David Frost and Richard Nixon, they could feel something through the eyes of Kevin Bacon or Oliver Platt or Sam Rockwell—and with [writer] Peter Morgan's blessing, I encouraged them to improvise.
SM: Tertiary characters improvising?
RH: Yes, in and around what was written. It breathed a kind of spontaneity into it. I'd never worked that way, so it was an interesting challenge.
SM: Most filmmakers make a certain type of film—you might see a Martin Scorsese film and just know it's Scorsese. My primary observation about you is the diversity in the films you do.
RH: Well, that's really high praise. You know, some people write about my films and find it a little frustrating. They seem to yearn for an author's stand, but I would find it a little embarrassing to try and impose that on a story. I admire Billy Wilder. Of all the greats, I think he's the greatest. I'm not so sure Stalag 17 and The Apartment looked the same. Or Witness for the Prosecution and Some Like It Hot. When I choose to make a film, that's my statement, you know? Obviously there are themes and values, but it winds up being a reflection of me in a way.
SM: I think one of the hardest things to do is transition from one label to another, and you did it through stealth. In a sense, the smartest thing—
RH: Is not to talk about it too much.
IMAGINE THE FUTURE...SM: I'm curious how you and [producing partner and co-owner in Imagine Entertainment] Brian Grazer met.
RH: We met in the office of Deanne Barkley, who ran television movies at NBC. She said, "Wait a second. You guys should meet, because one of these days you're going to be honchos in this business." I was having a hard time cracking the studio system as a director, even though I was doing these TV movies, and I had done the Roger Corman film. Brian initiated a "lunch," and he pitched a couple of ideas, one of which was Night Shift.
SM: Is that how you became joined at the hip professionally?
RH: During Splash, we started talking about how wonderful it would be if we could pool our energies and get some development money, so we could take an idea we believed in and at least get a screenplay without having to pitch movies. At that point, I always felt that when I went in to talk about features, I was dealt with in a very polite, respectful way, but there was a slight undercurrent of condescension. I didn't know how to speak the language. Brian understood how to get by that first wave of doubt. We became friends in the trenches of getting these first two movies made—Night Shift and Splash.
SM: How do you deal with, "I want to do this movie" but one of you doesn't?
RH: Uh, the other one says, "I don't know why you want to make that." He makes the argument—once. And if the other person says, "I hear you, but I love it," then there's no more whining. I wouldn't expect Brian to throw himself into something he doesn't love, but he's there to produce it, support it, and I'm likewise. Anything Brian's excited about, I'm delighted we're doing it.
SM: Is there pressure of, "I might make a mistake with my own company"?
RH: It's a double-edged sword. Sometimes I feel like I owe us a hit. But in the last 8, 10 years, I've really been choosing movies because I'm fascinated by them and I believe they can be good.
RH: A few movies back—it was The Missing—it dawned on me as I was about to make the last tweak, Someday, I'm going to be sitting here, whether I've admitted it or not, and I'm gonna know this is my last movie. I wonder what that will feel like. It was weird that it hit me out of nowhere, and I did not like the feeling. I don't see an end in the foreseeable future, but it was interesting to have that moment. Steven Spielberg once said to me, "When did The Andy Griffith Show start?" I said, "Oh, 1960." And he's like, "Wow, you're like the Cal Ripken of our business. You're the ironman. You've had this high profile for all these years, and you've maintained it."
SM: I get no feeling from you that you're on your last film.
RH: I feel like I'm just getting the hang of it. I've got a tremendous appetite for this process, and I'm thoroughly enjoying it. I think back to Akira Kurosawa, and it's so exciting that he still made a really good movie at 80. So my mantra has always been, I want to be the first guy who directs a movie at 100.
SM: Well, I think in your case, one of your longevity secrets is variety. Just think what you've got there: childhood actor to actor to director to director of many different types of films. I feel like you see your future the same way I see mine. You'll just never stop voluntarily. I think you're, what, 55?
RH: Fifty-four.
SM: Back when we grew up, people retired.
RH: Yeah—why would you want to?
SM: Well, depends on what you're retiring from, you know?

Written by Fiona Duncan
Read the full Hotel Guru review
"Why do people love staying in your hotel?
They tell us it's for the peace and tranquility, service that comes out of the walls in delightfully unstuffy, no fuss way and of course the food. Oops we almost forgot it's where contemporary design meets Ralph Lauren....
What is there to do in the area or on site?
The Lake District National Park? Apart from our outdoor spa of 888 square miles, where you can run, climb, cycle, walk, orienteer, or just meditate. Indoors there are numerous fine galleries, shops, houses, and some brilliant cinemas; small intimate and comfortable. The obvious mentions are home of Beatrix Potter and William Wordsworth.
What kind of breakfast do you offer?
The full English of course. Starring spicy Cumbrian sausage. There is also a buffet with various fruits, cereals, home made jams, yoghurt and many other things. In case you don't fancy English there are also waffles, pancakes, haddock and kippers. Many teas and different sorts of coffee, smoothies, freshly squeezed juice; I could go on.
Do you offer other meals? And can you recommend good places to eat out locally?
We do offer lunch and dinner. Restaurant food is I suppose gourmet, fine dining. Indeed our restaurant has been awarded 3 AA rosettes. But we also offer the Unstuffy Burger, fish 'n chips, and other simple fare from lunchtime through the day.
Which are your most popular room types, and why?
The one with the hot tub outside is the most popular. We have two rooms with private hot tubs. Also, the Loft Suite (it has a huge bath which takes 20 minutes to fill and is perfect for two! Otherwise the Lake View rooms go first, but there are so many different types of rooms to suit all pockets.
What message would you like to give Hotel Guru readers?
Come and put you feet up! We love feet on cushions, not just on the floor."

Ten steps from Playa Bonita, Acaya holds a beach-bum vibe with touches of surprisingly tasteful decor. Rooms are simple, with white-tile floors and queen beds. Bathrooms are spacious, with two sinks, and are painted a cheery cerulean. If you can, stay in the renovated rooms closer to the restaurant; doubles in the next building aren't quite as nice but more quiet and high ceilings, light colors, and wood shutters create a feeling of space. A full breakfast, included in the price, is made fresh each day, even if you sleep in until 3. You get beach chairs and cushions, too.

I think Brent and Kyle (dont know so just my worthless 2 cents input) have been wanting to get away from the 3dMark thing for some time now.
If I should be so bold as to give my take on HardOCP's position...I can assure you that you are correct. We ( especially KYle ) have been unsatisfied with 3dMark's illustration of a real gaming environments for quite some time. Long before 3dMark2003 was in any appreciable form, Kyle was already contemplating an article to outline the points he has recently made. If you read the
you will find that his points cover all benchmarks and do not solely attack 3dMark2003. Rather, the arrival of 3dMark2003 was merely a convenient means of emphasizing the points being made.
I honestly can't see why anyone would try to attack Kyle or HardOCP. At the end of the day, these articles and editorials are intended to benefit the consumer...For those grasping at straws and claiming that [H] is an NVIDIA-fanboy...I must remind you of the dozens of times [H] has been on NVIDIA's case for an issue. In addition, you might remember that Radeon 9700 Pro's are in each review testbed and that we were less than "blown away" ( ironic ) by the GeForce FX.
In my opinion, many of us need to take a few steps back and look at the big picture. We need to lose the delusions of conspiracies and shady partnerships and realize that the situation at hand is very black and white. You have a large website with a big name in your corner...trying to keep the big vendors honest and ensure you get the best quality for your dollar.
I trust that this will help clarify this situation and bit and put things in the proper perspective...

E-books in the Academy — A Story of Limitations and Affordances
April 4, 2012 | 10:08 am
By Paul Biba
Very interesting article in The Scholarly Kitchen by Joseph Esposito. Worth reading the whole thing:
The inexorable march of e-book adoption may be heading into a wall in the most unexpected market — the academy. It's strange that this should be the case, inasmuch as universities are arguably the most wired segment of American society today, but several conversations I have had of late with academic librarians make me wonder if the "affordances" of e-books, at least in their current form, make them inferior in some respects to print.
By "affordances" I mean the properties of e-books and what they enable us to do. We know that print, for example, has among its properties the ability to store a fixed text and that e-books (when properly configured) permit us to link to other documents and perform full-text search. What librarians are telling me is that their patrons — some of their patrons, at any rate — are expressing reservations about plans to migrate to a mostly- or all-digital strategy. There are things that some scholars can do with paper that they can't do with digital editions, and they are thus encouraging librarians to continue to acquire print for the library collection.

Voice Dream text-to-speech reader to appear for Android in August
Morning Links: HTC sorry for poor performance. Apple to reduce vig to 15%?
Screen text is self-indexing while paper text is self-authenticating. Scholars value and use both affordances. The academy is perhaps the most forward looking sector regarding future prospects for the book. They anticipate a dynamic interdependence of screen and print books.
It's pretty amusing that anybody would make the argument that print books allow you to access more information simultaneously because you can leave massive piles of open books and stacks of paper strewn all over your office.
The only valid point here regards restrictions from DRM and device lockdown. As always, this is pretty much the only thing holding society back from a vast increase in access to information in the digital age.
Citing, ebooks have no universal method of citing quotes. Marginalia, and other support for annotation that is also needed.
Page references from printed editions need to be tabled in a predictable and useful way — we need academic standards and most of all TEI (Text encoding Imitative) has to become part of ePub.
These things have been obvious from day one. Along with hash certification (that the listed contents have not been changed and simple and free data base of Ids and citation.
My view is that where a system exists such as Shakespeare's line reference, and Bible verse reference, each item gets its edition Id plus its sequence position, any fragment that keeps its tags can thus be not only cited, but also replaced into its context.
On this issue I desperately wish I was not just one of the unwashed and could get things moving it seems like a mass myopia — the solutions are not even difficult, the means for resolving every problem lie about us begging to be used, and collectively we just miss seeing the problem let alone think about what is in front of us as a solution.
Citing, quoting, reconstruction and contextualisation, layers of tagging that TEI can provide for manuscripts, their analysis, and the tools for translation, exegesis and notation. These things are all in XML already developed and in use and over which CSS3 can be applied seamlessly.
My holy of holies, is the university library, the intellectual global commonwealth becomes accessible to villager with a mobile phone. That with some cheap hardware anyone can tap into the repository, study and perhaps contribute.

MANCHESTER, Iowa - A successful Eastern Iowa developer has purchased 54 acres of land west of Manchester with plans for commercial development.
A.J. Spiegel, chief executive officer of Mi-T-M Corp. in Peosta, was instrumental in the development of an industrial complex north of highway 20 in Peosta along with multiple properties in Bellevue and Dubuque.
Spiegel Family Realty Company Iowa LLC has submitted a request to have the property, located just north of highway 20, rezoned to B-3 commercial. The preliminary plat includes 13 lots and two streets.
Crews have aggressively moved dirt and rock over the past several weeks in preparation for the installation of water and sewer lines. Spiegel's plans include build-to-suit-lease opportunities.
"I'm really impressed with the progress so far, but there is a lot more work to do," said Spiegel, who is guiding the project. Several companies have expressed interest in the location, but nothing has been sold.
Several Manchester and Eastern Iowa organizations and individuals are responsible for working with Spiegel to move the project forward. They include Manchester Enterprises Inc., Delaware County, the City of Manchester, Manchester Area Chamber of Commerce, Delaware County Economic Development, and Donald and Janet Wendling.

THE world has been suffering more droughts in recent decades, and climate change will bring many more, according to received wisdom. Now it is being challenged by an analysis that questions a key index on which it is based.
Predictions of megadroughts affecting Africa and the western side of North America may be wrong. We could even be headed for wetter times, says Justin Sheffield of Princeton University.
This potential handbrake turn for climate forecasts hangs on the accuracy of our main measure of drought, the Palmer Drought Severity Index. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's 2007 science assessment cited studies using the PDSI to conclude that "droughts have become more common since the 1970s" as the world has warmed - a position we take to be true in this week's cover story (see "Climate downgrade: Arctic warming"). The report predicted droughts will increase with global warming.
The problem with the PDSI, says Sheffield, is that it does not directly measure drought. Instead, it looks at the difference between precipitation and evaporation. But since evaporation rates are hard to determine, it uses temperature as a proxy, on the assumption that evaporation rises as it gets hotter.
Sheffield points out that temperature is only one factor influencing evaporation. He inferred evaporation rates using the Penman-Monteith equation, which includes factors such as wind speed and humidity, and found "little change in global drought over the past 60 years" (Nature, DOI: 10.1038/nature11575). His new calculations back up his own previous analysis that the most significant of recent droughts mostly occurred in the 1950s and 60s, before global warming got going.
The PDSI was created in the 1960s by US meteorologist Wayne Palmer to help allocate aid to drought-hit farmers, and was then widely adopted by climate scientists for its simplicity. Sheffield says he finds its continued use "a little strange".
Roger Pielke Jr of the University of Colorado in Boulder says that since the PDSI uses a formula that assumes higher temperatures cause more droughts, it was hardly surprising that it finds a link.
Simon Brown of the UK Met Office in Exeter says Sheffield's analysis is probably right. "There has been a growing acknowledgement that the PDSI should not be trusted when doing climate change studies," he says. But one of the lead authors of parts of the 2007 IPCC report, Kevin Trenberth of the US National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, is sceptical. He backs work by Aiguo Dai of the State University of New York, Albany, who reported last year that using the Penman-Monteith equation "only slightly reduces the drying trend".
Sheffield's findings raise important questions, says Steve Running at the University of Montana in Missoula. "If global drought is not increasing, if warmer temperatures are accompanied by more rainfall and lower evaporation rates, then a warmer wetter world would [mean] a more benign climate."

SAN DIEGO, Calif. - The No. 66 ranked Boise State men's tennis team suffered a surprising upset, Saturday (March 13) afternoon, as the Broncos' overall record dropped to 5-5 with a 5-2 loss against San Diego State (2-7) in San Diego, Calif.
Boise State fell behind early, losing the doubles point after dropping the first two doubles matches of the day. The Broncos did score one doubles win as Alex Bothe and James Meredith beat Juan Gomez and Luis Rattenhuber, 9-8 (7), at No. 1. SDSU would head into singles with the early advantage, however, forcing Boise State to win four of six singles matches to win the dual.
In the first singles match of the day, Harry Skinner pulled the Broncos even with a 6-1, 6-0 win over Rattenhuber in the No. 3 singles match. After falling behind again, Filipp Pogostkin recorded another point for the Broncos with a 6-3, 6-3 win over Giovanni Vaglietti at No. 4 to even the score once again at 2-2.
Unfortunately for head coach Greg Patton, that is where the Broncos run would end on the day as SDSU scored wins at No. 1, No. 5 and No. 6 to complete the upset.
"Today we got punched in the nose and its' bleeding a little bit," Patton said. "But that is going to happen sometimes with a young team. We've got a lot of good things ahead of us, so we've got to just keep playing."
The loss drops Boise State to just 1-3 on the road this season, as the Broncos continue to struggle away from Boise. The men will try and salvage a split of this road trip as they will meet the University of San Diego on Sunday in San Diego, Calif. That dual is scheduled to begin at 12 p.m. (PST).
Boise State is on the road until March 25 when the Broncos return home to host the University of Idaho and UC Irvine in a pair of duals.

EPA's Region 6 Office
Serving: Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas, and 66 Tribal Nations
Introduction to Popile Inc., Arkansas Superfund Site
Site Description
41-acre site in Union County, Arkansas, about ¾ mile south of El Dorado City Limits. The property is bordered by South West Avenue on the west, Ouachita Railroad (East Camden & Highland Railroad) on the east, and Bayou de Loutre on the north.
No drinking water wells located within ½ mile of the site. Residential, industrial, and commercial properties surround the site. Surface drainage is to Bayou de Loutre.
Water Use:
Shallow groundwater (20 feet deep) within the county is used primarily for livestock and irrigation. Deep aquifer (500 to 600 feet deep) wells more than 3 miles from the site, provide drinking water to more than 26,000 residents. These wells draw from a much deeper ground water zone than the shallow zone.
Current Site Strategy
The current site strategy is to protect human health and the environment by controlling the migration of contaminants in shallow groundwater to reduce and/or eliminate the potential for contaminating deeper aquifers, or migrating to the Bayou.
Health Considerations
- Direct contact with soils.
- Ingestion of ground or surface water.
Record of Decision
The Record of Decision (ROD) was signed on February 20, 1993. ROD Contaminants of Concern (COCs) are:
- Pentachlorophenol (PCP).
- Polynuclear Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) including: benzo(a)pyrene, dibenz(a,h)anthracene, benzo(a)anthracene, benzo(b)fluoranthene, benzo(k)fluoranthene, chrysene, and indeno(1,2,3-cd)pyrene.
- "In situ" (i.e., in-place) treatment of contaminated groundwater and extraction of free products.
- On site biological treatment of contaminated soils and sludge by landfarm.
Community Involvement
- Community Involvement Plan: 06/92
- Open Houses and Workshops: 02/92, 07/92, 08/92, 09/92, 05/93, 09/97
- Original ROD Fact Sheet: 02/93

KARAOKE lovers on Tuesday night turned Pizzeria Down Town, located in Kigali city centre, into a music scene when Caroline Nderitu, a renowned karaoke host in Kigali, led revelers in singing various songs.
The event dubbed, 'Carlsberg Karaoke Night', started at 7 pm and it attracted a sizeable number of revelers, who participated in the singing.
Nderitu and James Onyango proved to be the stars of the night-as they brought Pizzeria Down Town down with their singing prowess.
Some of the popular songs performed included, Hello, Shape of My Heart, Endless Love, From this moment and So unbelievable, among others.
Speaking before the performance, Nderitu said she always enjoys herself when performing and encouraged guests to enjoy their night by daring to sing.
The highlight of night was a final draw, in which the best performer walked away with a voucher worth Rwf15, 000.
The night also catered for non-karaoke lovers. Soccer fans did not miss the game between Chelsea and Juventus, which Chelsea lost 3-0.

See gallery: "Space superlatives: The universe's extreme performers"
A journey towards the hottest climes of the cosmos must start by passing the sun, the fiery centre of our solar system. With a surface temperature of 5800 kelvin, our star is far from chilly, but it is no cosmic record breaker either. Blue supergiants, whose greater mass compresses their cores and stokes the nuclear fires within, run at more than 50,000 K.
Even that is surpassed by some white dwarfs, compact spheres of heat left behind when a smallish star burns out. One such stellar cinder, called HD62166, measures a scorching 200,000 K and lights up a vast nebula with its painfully bright atmosphere.
Plunging deep inside a star will take you to even more hellish realms. The largest supergiant stars may have core temperatures of more than a billion kelvin. For a stable star, the theoretical upper limit is ...

Four for five
Joe Gibbs' third Super Bowl victory is his sweetest because five veteran players, five of his favorites, also won their third title in their fourth trip to the championship game.
Four for five
Joe Gibbs' third Super Bowl victory is his sweetest because five veteran players, five of his favorites, also won their third title in their fourth trip to the championship game.
"After the game, in the locker room, the five of us were together, just looking at each other, and man, it's just an overwhelming feeling," said center Jeff Bostic, one of the four-time Super Bowlers. "I think the thing that keeps going through my mind is that in this stage of our careers, 'How many opportunities are you going to get to play in this kind of game again?' "
The ceremonial astronaut toss
Discovery's astronauts demonstrated a coin toss in weightlessness before millions of earthbound football fans during the Super Bowl pre-game show.
Astronaut Roberta Bondar held the coin in her right hand as her fellow astronauts flipped her in cartwheels 187 miles above Earth. She released the coin and it floated away. The crew said it appeared to be heads.
"As you can see in zero-g, the coin never comes down, so we'll just have to defer the coin toss to the official pre-game ceremony," said shuttle commander Ronald Grabe, who sported Washington Redskins cap.
Hey, buy a ticket
Pick a cause. More than 2,000 protesters representing everything from Native Grandmothers Against Racism to Minnesotans for a United Ireland had to arrive early to find a spot outside the Metrodome to state their case.
There also was the Animal Rights Coalition, which complained about people who eat buffalo meat and about a 700-pound hog that is a mascot honoring the Washington Redskins' offensive line.
The most obvious of the protesters was John Forde of St. Paul, demonstrating against the tobacco industry. Attached to his shoulders was a large, homemade likeness of a camel smoking a cigarette.
He carried a sign that read, "I'm killing your kids."
He won four, will he ever call one?
Terry Bradshaw is a very -- as in sizzling -- hot commodity. He was the focus of CBS' marathon preview show, but he would rather be in John Madden's seat next to Pat Summerall analyzing the game.
This raises an interesting question. With Bill Walsh out at NBC and Bill Parcells continuing to be a very unpredictable guy, could Bradshaw suddenly become the apple of NBC's eye and look to jump networks?
Bradshaw admitted that he has a desire to be a No. 1 analyst and call a Super Bowl game. He also realizes this: As long as Madden is at CBS, that never will happen. "Doing it would be the ultimate for me. If you're in this business, it's something you want to do," Bradshaw said.
Would he jump to another network? "You had to ask me that. Oh, boy," Bradshaw said with a sigh.
"I'm very happy here. I don't plan on going anywhere. I had a chance to go to NBC when I left the Steelers, but I chose CBS. Now I feel part of a family. I know you would like me to say I would jump, but as of now, I have no desire to leave."
Lot of good it did us
Baltimore hoped to get national exposure for its NFL franchise hopes by quickly selling out for an exhibition game in August. Football fans here kept up their end of the bargain on Saturday, snapping up the remaining 33,000 tickets for the game in 2 1/2 hours. But the subject never came up during CBS' Super Bowl telecast yesterday.
Did you keep the remote handy?
While CBS' pre-game show broke from football for a report on Olympic figure skating -- guess which network is televising the Winter Games? -- over on Channel 2, there was an NFL Films program on the Super Bowl.
We pause for this message
Unless you are a Redskins fan (not), Super Bowl XXVI -- another dispiriting blowout -- was an annoying series of interruptions to some really top-flight commercials -- at $850,000 for 30 seconds.
The advertisers spending all that dough say that while the recession has made ad dollars tighter, the Super Bowl simply cannot be topped by any other sports event for number of viewers riveted to their sets. Not only that, but Super Bowl viewers apparently remember ads better than most viewers.
The ones we'll remember:
* Bugle Boy. Sex vs. golf. No contest.
* Bud Bowl. Thank goodness we didn't have to watch a dozen installments of bottles tilting and clinking.
* Pepsi. Gotta have it. Uh-huh. Pepsi-Cola Co. purchased five minutes of air time, sinking more of its advertising dollars into the Super Bowl than any other sporting event.
* McDonald's. Thousands of teary-eyed mothers will either take their kids to McDonald's today, or let them play pee-wee football.
* Any of the Olympics ads: Especially the Merrill-Lynch speed skaters.
* Reebok. We watched Olympic decathletes Dan O'Brien and Dave Johnson grow up in a delightful series of three 30-second spots in the third quarter that cost the company $2 million.
Don't mess with the Posse
Don't talk trash to them. Don't even looke at them the wrong way.
The Bills' secondary tried intimidating the redskins' receiving corps of Gary Clark, Ricky Sanders and Art Monk. The Posse responded by combining for 15 catches--seven each by Clark and Monk.

Glenn Hall named WSJ U.S. editor
Glenn Hall has been named U.S. editor of The Wall Street Journal, Editor-in-Chief Gerard Baker announced in a memo to staff on Wednesday.
Hall has been Dow Jones MarketWatch editor since September. He was previously editor-in-chief of The Street and managing editor of Glenn Beck's TheBlaze.com.
"Glenn brings a wide range of experience in several news organizations to this position, as a manager, story-teller and digital driver," Baker said in the memo.
Hall replaces Jennifer Forsyth, who after nearly four years as U.S. editor was named deputy investigations editor on Wednesday.
"Jenn has established a peerless renown for spotting enterprise and investigative angles on big news stories and instituted a newsroom newsletter on reporting and sourcing tips," Baker said in the memo announcing Forsyth's move.
Working with Hall as deputy U.S. editor will be Dow Jones veteran Tim Layer, most recently as deputy editor of the Journal's markets desk.

Frank Farina has paid the price for Sydney FC's fifth-place finish in the A-League and early finals exit, with the club opting to terminate his contract.
The 49-year-old reportedly had a deal to remain in charge next season, despite it having previously been claimed that he needed to secure a spot in the top four to earn an extension. But his failure to do so, followed by last Friday's 2-1 elimination final defeat away to Melbourne Victory, has sealed the fate of the former Australia boss.
The club issued a statement on Wednesday confirming they had moved to dismiss Farina. "Frank joined us as coach in a difficult period last season and has always given his absolute dedication and commitment to the club," chairman Scott Barlow said in a statement.
"Frank has shown great integrity and resolve in what has been often challenging circumstances this year. I would like to pay tribute to Frank for his professionalism and wish him well for the future."
Farina took over from Ian Crook in November 2012, but could only take Sydney to seventh on the table in 2012/13.

YIELD: Makes 4 servings
Cut striped bass fillets and halibut fillets into 2-inch cubes (don't use tuna or salmon they do not belong in a fish stew). In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add chopped shallots, chopped garlic, and dried crushed red pepper. After they are light brown (about 2 minutes), add parsley, then quickly throw in the fish. Add salt and pepper to taste. After the fish is lightly colored, add clams and mussels and white wine. Cover the pan and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes (when the mussels and clams open, the stew is done). Okay? Sprinkle with chopped Italian parsley. Serve with 1/2-inch-thick slices of Italian bread, fried in olive oil, on the side. That's it; it's done.

Friendly, lovely views. Bar is a little like a working men's club though
Excellent holiday but I did get it 50 % of my chalet which was clean but did need refurb. It would not have been so good paying full price. Nice area a good walk down to polperro then a taxi back. Large bed very comfy and clean. Everything in kitchen was clean.
They did not say sorry about all the repairs
Had a great holiday, caravan clean, modern, entertainment for my grandaughter aged 4 was excellent, she loved captain crumble. Very friendly staff and atmosphere in the bar/club area.
Only one negative, people were using the grass area near our caravan to walk/toilet their dogs even though there was a designated area for this purpose.
Thank you for a lovely holiday.
Lovely location, tidy site.Bar and entertainment.Stayed in one of the bungalows which was tired and in need of up dating, although it was just a base we stayed in, it could have been better.overall enjoyed the entertainment.
Quiet site pleasant location
Had a great relaxing time, see you again next year
This park is in a lovely area. Close to loose which is stunning. We stayed in a chalet not the basic one so was expecting it too be have descent. On arrival we found out it was a electricity meter which we wasn't aware of. We got our keys and went to the chalet. It stunk of cigarettes really bad. I have a asthmatic son and if we knew people were allowed to smoke in the accommodation we would never of booked. The chalet was covered in dust even the drinking glasses and dinner plates. Bedding left on bed so had to make all our beds up and the adults and one of the children's duvet covered were dirty! I spoke to reception but nothing was done. I had to clean the chalet myself and buy air freshener.
On the upside the children's entertainment was first class. I left my complaints on a comment card with my contact details and requested they contacted me. 2 weeks later I still haven't heard anything. Such a shame because it could be so good.
Excellent holiday village, caravan spotless and very comfortable, also lovely view looking out to the sea and on to the countryside. Food good value for the money. All the staff very friendly. Having the harbours of Looe and Polperro close by was a bonus.
After reading some reviews after booking I did wonder what I had let myself in for . But not much to complain about . Taking into account what it cost for 4 nights in accommodation that would have slept 3 it was good value for money . Yes it was basic and somewhat dated but. Let's be fair you get what you pay for . I new I was not booking luxury and would have given a 10/10 all round except for the mattress was so thin it felt like sleeping on springs . I can only speak for our accommodation but must say it was spotless
All the staff we met from check in to check out were friendly , polite and helpfull the bar prices were reasonable and the food we had on the first night was very good value 2 good sized meals for about £16
Not a big holiday park but great entertainment from captain crumble,kids loved it ,caravans were spotless with lovely views we will definitely be returning next year. Staff were very helpful and polite.nice and relaxing.
Good holiday entertainmenment fair to good. Grandchildren loved it. Thanks
I have had many holidays with Hoseasons and sadly this is the worst place we have stayed, someone prior to ourselves had been sick in the bedroom on the carpet making it very unpleasant to stay in there, we had to ask for our bedding as this wasn't left on arrival, the whole bungalow was filthy, the shower was broke, the untensils and crockery was dirty, we did mention to staff who were uninterested we had a effort of a apology we will definatley not be returning and neither would I recommend anyone else to stay there.
Best holiday we have had for awhile your camp was just the right size.
It was a lovely view but the actual place was out dated & needed much more going on in the day

More than a year after his death, the late comedy writer Mickey Ross has proven himself a mega Jewish philanthropist.
Earlier this week, it was announced that the Emmy-winning writer/producer of hit sitcoms "All in the Family," "The Jeffersons" and "Three's Company" bequeathed $10 million to The Jewish Community Foundation of Los Angeles, a sizable gift, but one in a series of gifts Ross earmarked for the Jewish community.
In addition to the lump sum, Ross committed 50 percent of his residual rights to several TV shows to the foundation, which will establish the Michael and Irene Ross Endowment Fund. According to The Jewish Community Foundation, the fund will have a twofold purpose, providing Southern California's most vulnerable populations with basic needs as well as funding programs devoted to Yiddish language and culture, one of Ross's passions.
Ross passed away in May 2009 at the age of 89 from complications related to a stroke and heart attack. His wife, Irene, died in 2000. The couple had no children.
In addition to his comedic legacy in Hollywood, Ross will be remembered through his numerous philanthropic commitments. In 2008, he donated $4 million to endow an academic chair in Yiddish language and culture at UCLA, his alma mater. And, last January, Ross surprised The National Yiddish Book Center in Amherst, Mass. with a $3 million donation from his estate.
