Sangster heir clubs together with his friends from Boujis to buy a racehorse
Related Articles
Published: 23 December 2010
But this will be one of the most exclusive clubs around — its members will be drawn from Mr Sangster's friends at Boujis, the South Kensington nightclub frequented by royalty and celebrities.
Ten members of the private nightspot, whose patrons include Princes William and Harry and Kate Middleton, have paid £1,400 each for one-year-old All Nighter.
The yearling will be trained at Mr Sangster's stables, and the new owners will hope to share in some of the family's success.
Robert Sangster, known throughout the Seventies and Eighties as a flamboyant and successful owner, won the Derby twice and the Prix de L'Arc de Triomphe three times. He had about 1,000 horses at stud or in training at the height of his career.
Married three times and having tempted Jerry Hall to leave Mick Jagger — although she later returned to the Rolling Stone — he was also responsible for starting a worldwide market in racehorse bloodstock, spending millions on yearlings at auction in Kentucky in the hope they would secure success on the racetrack and then recoup millions when put out to stud.
Sam Sangster, 23, who is a racing enthusiast and has a media company near Newmarket, said he hoped the £14,000 purchase would eventually lead to 50 or more Boujis members part-owning a number of horses.
He said: "What I really wanted to do was get together a group of friends and get involved in a horse. It is fun for everyone and you can split the costs between 10 people.
"I have done it before and everyone has fun with it. It is a great day out and it is an experience you want to share with a few people."
The identities of the members who have clubbed together to buy the horse have not been revealed but are thought to include several high-profile celebrities.
Boujis, founded in 2002 by former banker Matt Hermer, has become a regular haunt for royalty and Hollywood A-listers. The syndicate of its members, known as Decadent Racing, has combined with Mr Sangster and Boujis bosses Carlo Carello and Jake Parkinson-Smith.
Mr Sangster said: "The dream would be to have the horse at Royal Ascot next year, but you never know what will happen."

Gusty, chilly, moonless, dead leaves crunching underfoot and the occasional owl hooting in the distance. It was perfect ... for the spectre of things that go bump in the night.
That's just what Fairfield Museum and History Center's Walt Matis, the program and volunteer coordinator, and docents Rob Wallace and Mary Ellen McLean were hoping for as they led intrepid souls Sunday though the historic heart of Fairfield around Town Hall Green.
Stops on the "Legends and Hauntings Walking Tour," in its 15th Halloween season, included the Old Burying Ground, Edwards Pond, the Sun Tavern and the Victorian Cottage.
"This has become a community anchor that brings people in who like to hear the stories," said Matis. "Halloween is a national, even international experience; we're trying to bring it home with stories and legends that have basis in books, articles and diaries from Fairfield Museum's collection. We'll leave it to the group to decide if they are true or not."
The trio, costumed in early Colonial outfits and carrying lanterns with burning candles, first led the group to the Old Burying Ground on Beach Road , where, in front of a gravestone marker for Andrew Ward, they began to spin tales of local lore.
One account told of Gold Selleck Silliman, a militia brigadier general during the American Revolutionary War era. He owned a store on Old Post Road, where he and his family also lived. Often, the family's servant would hear strange tappings and moanings and refused to sleep by herself. Years later, after the family had moved to another residence, Silliman returned to the dwelling, where he found men digging under old sections of the house. Startlingly, the men found a set of bones belonging to a small child. The discovery was never explained.
The oldest cemetery in Fairfield, the Old Burying Ground was established in 1639, Wallace said. It encompasses both "burials with no stones and stones with no burials. "Many of the stones with no burials were moved from Trinity Episcopal Church in Southport," he said.
He pointed out the artwork that can be found on many grave markers. Earliest markers show a skull and bones; those from later years are decorated with cherubs. Wallace also shared a disturbing cemetery trend occurred during the Victorian era. At that time, it was not uncommon for people to be buried prematurely, often after suffering a fit that put one in a trance-like lifeless state. To avoid a premature burial, a Bateson Revival Device was developed. Essentially an iron bell, it was mounted on the lid of a casket just above the deceased's head which the so-called deceased could ring to alert a passerby that the occupant was, indeed, not dead.
According to town archives, common causes of death during the 1700s and 1800s included smallpox, tuberculosis and scarlet fever, though more bizarre deaths have been recorded: two men in a bell tower were killed by a lightning bolt; an inebriated man drowned after falling in a ditch; a woman fell down a flight of stairs, and a man who was pulverized by a train after his foot became stuck between the rails.

Wincor World 2011: Successful trade show and experts forum
At total of more than 7000 visitors from over 90 countries came to Wincor World 2011 to view the 600 exhibits featuring IT solutions and services from Wincor Nixdorf and 40 partner exhibitors. Once again, the extensive program of presentations and workshops with international experts from big-name companies proved a great success. First and foremost, Wincor World issued a strong message through its new and further-developed solution scenarios for cash cycle automation in banks and retail enterprises. Guests were also greatly impressed by solutions that showed how to handle cashless payments, redesign branches to improve customer focus and security, as well as automate processes at the point of sale. "Visitors to our trade show gained a clear picture of the added value that we offer our customers by integrating hardware, software and services into complete solutions that improve their business processes in the long term," explained Andreas Bruck, head of Corporate Communications at Wincor Nixdorf.
As expected, visitors focused most of their attention during the three-day exhibition on the aspect of Cash Cycle Management. One year after the initial presentation of its innovative concept, Wincor Nixdorf was able to show that major progress has been made. The solution, which stands for greater security and transparency, improved cash handling processes and lower costs, met with great interest among customers from the banking and retail sectors. Detailed discussions with visitors to the stands and during the symposium showed that, with its Cash Cycle Management Solutions, Wincor Nixdorf has succeeded in offering its clients major improvement potential. The cooperation with Giesecke & Devrient – aimed at further automation of the cash cycles – was another area that received a great response from visitors.
Other highlights from Wincor Nixdorf included software that supports banking and retail multichannel strategies and security solutions for systems, branches/stores and networks. In the area of self-service and branch/store process automation, Wincor Nixdorf presented its new generation of Cineo systems and flexible self-service solutions for the checkout. Besides this, the company presented new ideas for efficient operation of the solutions on show.

Lukács, Georg
Georg Lukács 1885–1971
(Also transliterated as György) Hungarian critic and philosopher.
Lukács is now recognized by many critics as the leading Marxist thinker of the twentieth century. However, he was engaged in a lifelong struggle; despite his antagonism toward capitalism, the nature of his approach and his subject matter were often in opposition to socialist thought. As Susan Sontag has written: "By concentrating on 19th century literature and stubbornly retaining German as the language in which he writes, Lukács has continued to propose, as a Communist, European and humanist—as opposed to nationalist and doctrinaire—values; living as he does in a Communist and provincial country, he has remained a genuinely European intellectual figure."
As an undergraduate student in Germany, Lukács was inspired by Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, whose philosophy informs Lukács's earliest works, especially Die Theorie des Romans (The Theory of the Novel). In this book Lukács described the novel as a "bourgeois epic" in which the writer attempts to depict the alienation and homelessness of the individual in modern society. These theories were much less metaphysical than those of his earlier work, Die Seele und die Formen (Soul and Form). In Soul and Form Lukács concentrated on what Lucien Goldmann called "the relation between the human soul and the absolute" and "the tragic significance of Kantianism."
In 1918, two years after the publication of The Theory of the Novel, Lukács joined the Hungarian Communist Party. Within five years he was to publish Geschichte und Klassenbewusstsein (History and Class Consciousness), which Ferenc Fehér would later call "the single major event in the history of Marxism as philosophy since the death of Karl Marx." According to George Lichtheim, History and Class Consciousness "owes its enduring relevance to the manner in which Lukács recaptured the Hegelian dimension of Marx's thought."
In 1933, Lukács denounced History and Class Consciousness and all his previous works and, for over a decade, wrote sporadically. Lukács's work after this time, most notably Essays uber Realismus (Studies in European Realism) and Der historische Roman (The Historical Novel), were discussions of such writers as Balzac, Sir Walter Scott, and Thomas Mann. For this reason, Lukács was again subjected to disapproval from the Communist Party. Although several theories have been proposed concerning his conflicts and compromises with the Party, Lukács himself commented on his recantations by asserting that "a critic must always re-examine his work, and reject what is false and outmoded; otherwise he is dishonest."
(See also Contemporary Authors, Vol. 101 and Vols. 29-32, rev. ed. [obituary].)
The Times Literary Supplement
Lukacs is, in Dr. Thomas Mann's view "perhaps the most important critic of literature to-day"; a judgment which, com-ing from such a source, must carry weight. Fortunately, the republication of many of his papers and the appearance of the first English translation of any of his books [Studies in European Realism] make it possible conveniently to survey the work of this remarkable man….
It is not easy for English readers to judge his work…. Lukacs is essentially the "philosopher-critic" (the only type of "fruitful" criticism he admits beside that of the "poet-critic"). Complex, coherent and tightly knit intellectual structures which, to the Continental intellectual, are what philosophy means, have rarely been to the taste of the modern English literary world. But the chief hurdle which the English reader must clear before he can judge Lukacs is the unfamiliarity of his critical idiom. Oddly enough, its strangeness is only partly due to the fact that it is Marxist.
For Lukacs literature is "a special form of mirroring objective reality." But the supreme objective reality of the artist is man, necessarily man in society, inevitably man in a changing, developing society. This, therefore, must be the great writer's subject. At the same time this fact removes, or ought to remove, literary creation and criticism from the realm of the arbitrary and subjective:

Herbert Read
[George Lukács's] importance as a critic was first made clear to me by the late Karl Mannheim, who had known him well in Hungary, and who … did not agree with the Marxist basis of Lukács's criticism. What one was made to realize after the reading of a single essay by this critic (and to envy), was the formidable superiority of any polemicist who combines dogma with sensibility. It is the same kind of formidability that one finds in certain Catholic writers (such as Jacques Maritain), and it makes one realize, rather ruefully, that sensibility is not enough: our humanist or libertarian criticism must have an equally strong foundation in faith. (p. 156)
[Lukács is different from most Marxist critics.] He is saved, not only by his innate sensibility, which leads him to respect those elements of form and style so often contemptuously dismissed by Marxist critics, but also by his passionate humanism, which leads him to concentrate on Balzac and Tolstoy and to present their essentially humanitarian ideals with sympathy. All this leads …, to a certain amount of "doublethink"; but how refreshing, for example, to find a Marxian critic expatiating on "the extraordinary concreteness of poetic vision" in Tolstoy, or, more generally, seeing in romanticism, not one more form of bourgeois escapism, but "the expression of a deep and spontaneous revolt against rapidly developing capitalism." (p. 158)
There can be no question of...

George Steiner
[In Georg Lukács'] works two beliefs are incarnate. First, that literary criticism is not a luxury, that it is not what the subtlest of American critics has called "a discourse for amateurs." But that it is, on the contrary, a central and militant force toward shaping men's lives. Secondly, Lukács affirms that the work of the critic is neither subjective nor uncertain. Criticism is a science with its own rigor and precision. The truth of judgment can be verified. Georg Lukács is, of course, a Marxist. Indeed, he is the one major critical talent to have emerged from the gray servitude of the Marxist world. (pp. 327-28)
[The] Marxist critic cherishes the conviction that he is engaged not in matters of opinion but in determinations of objective reality. Without this conviction, Lukács could not have turned to literature. He came of intellectual age amid the chaotic ferocity of war and revolution in central Europe. He reached Marxism over the winding road of Hegelian metaphysics. In his early writings two strains are dominant: the search for a key to the apparent turmoil of history and the endeavor of an intellectual to justify to himself the contemplative life. Like Simone Weil, of whom he often reminds me, Lukács has the soul of a Calvinist. One can imagine how he must have striven to discipline within himself his native bent toward literature and the aesthetic side of things. Marxism afforded him the crucial possibility of...

George Lichtheim
[A] consideration of Lukacs' actual present-day views on contemporary literature shows that he is indeed a good Leninist—hence incapable of making those critical distinctions which have enabled Marxist writers in Western Europe (and the genuine "revisionists" in Poland) to say something sensible about the quite real problems of intellectual sterility and pointless literary artifice which confront European and American literature at the present time.
Ideally it ought to be the critic's task to demonstrate all this in detail, taking as one's text both the essay on Contemporary Realism and the earlier volume entitled The Historical Novel. Although (or because) twenty years lie between their writing, the two books complement one another. The Historical Novel was composed in the winter of 1936–7: at the very height of the Great Purge, and some two years after Lukacs—in an address to the philosophical section of the Communist Academy in Moscow—had performed the first of a long sequence of public acts of self-abasement by denouncing his own pre-Leninist writings (notably the famous History and Class-consciousness of 1923) as "idealist" and "objectively" Fascist…. Though less frenzied in tone, Lukacs' critical writings during this period, including The Historical Novel, faithfully reflect the temper of this remarkable pronouncement, notably in their determination to re-write the history of...

Alfred Kazin
The distinction of Lukács's Studies in European Realism—despite certain passages of obeisance to the Lenin-Stalin cult and some mechanical flattery of the Russian literary tradition itself (the book was written in Russia during the terrible purges of the 1930's)—is that it brings an essentially philosophic and moral vision of man's necessary destiny to bear on the great age of the novel; the book puts into a new and dramatic focus the sources of realism in the nineteenth century. Lukács's studies in realism bring home to us certain sources of the imaginative power of such towering figures as Balzac and Tolstoy. Lukács is exceptional among students of nineteenth-century realism because he is both a philosopher with great gifts of critical analysis and a critic who can marshal his points with logical rigor. He always writes in the perspective of a philosophical system. He is not, admittedly, the kind of critic that great writers become in discussing the work of their equals in imagination—Balzac greeting Stendhal's La Chartreuse de Parme or Tolstoy pointing up the weaknesses of Dostoevsky are often partisan and selective in their judgments, but they have a kind of insight that professional and therefore hopefully judicious critics do not share. Indeed, Lukács is too theoretical (and I would say even visionary) a writer to be able to express his judgments with the blend of suppleness and plasticity and irony which makes novelists...

PAUL de MAN
The Theory of the Novel is by no means easy reading. One is particularly put off by the strange point of view that prevails throughout the essay: the book is written from the point of view of a mind that claims to have reached such an advanced degree of generality that it can speak, as it were, for the novelistic consciousness itself; it is the Novel itself that tells us the history of its own development, very much as, in Hegel's Phenomenology, it is the Spirit who narrates its own voyage. With this crucial difference, however, that since Hegel's Spirit has reached a full understanding of its own being, it can claim unchallengeable authority, a point which Lukács's novelistic consciousness, by its own avowal, is never allowed to reach. Being caught in its own contingency, and being indeed an expression of this contingency, it remains a mere phenomenon without regulative power; one would be led to expect a reductive, tentative and cautiously phenomenological approach rather than a sweeping history asserting its own laws. By translating the work in a less exalted language, one loses its moving and impressive philosophical pathos, but some of the preconceptions become more apparent.
Compared to a formalistic work such as, for instance, Wayne Booth's Rhetoric of Fiction, or to a work grounded in a more traditional view of history such as Auerbach's Mimesis, The Theory of the Novel makes much more...

Lucien Goldmann
Georg Lukacs already appears as one of the most influential figures in the intellectual life of the 20th Century. (p. 165)
In 1910, 13 years after having clarified in History and Class Consciousness the concept of significant dynamic structure, Lukacs, after having published in Hungarian a work which to our knowledge has never been translated in any western-European language, became known to the German public through a book, The Soul and Forms [also translated as Soul and Form], which seems to us for several reasons to mark an essential date in the history of contemporary thought. First of all because, after long years of academic philosophy, Lukacs rediscovered in this work the great tradition of classic philosophy by placing at the center of his preoccupations the problem of the relationships which exist between human life and absolute values. This was an important intellectual event, for this tradition seemed entirely forgotten. (p. 166)
Explicitly, The Soul and Forms is uniquely concerned with the relation between the human soul and the absolute, and those "forms" which express the different and privileged modalities of this relation.
Under what conditions can human life be authentic? What are the circumstances and the attitudes which make it lose its authenticity? Are there, between the authentic and inauthentic, the true and the false, any intermediary values? Can...

Peter Demetz
At a time when Shklovsky in Russia and Lubbock in Great Britain were successfully banning metaphysics from literary criticism, Lukács' Theory of the Novel appeared as a late and stubborn attempt to reconstruct the most characteristic genre of modern literature from pure thought. To young Lukács, the theory of any genre coincides with its history, which, in true German fashion, he believes begins with the inimitable art of Greece…. Lukács does not tolerate any history of the mind before that of Greece; the Greeks are the nation whose inevitable destiny in the intellectual development of mankind it was to give birth to the great "forms" of the creative mind: the epic, tragedy, and philosophy. In the dawn of history we perceive the absolute immanence of the heroic age of Homer; as time progresses, however, integral substance withers (entweicht) more and more until, finally, the irremediable development toward philosophical alienation results in the most rigid opposition of meaning and being confirmed by the unfortunate transcendence of Platonic thought.
Tragedy, according to young Lukács, develops precisely between the time of the great epic and Plato. While the epic is still fortunate enough to be able to deal with the magnificent essence of life, tragedy (in a moment of progressive alienation) has no other chance but to question reality. "The great epic gives form to the extensive totality of life; the drama to the...

Roy Pascal
[To] understand Lukács' concept of totality, we should start from the Ästhetik [Aesthetics], where its general principles are elaborated incomparably more fully and clearly than in his earlier writings, and largely in agreement with his earlier usage of the term.
Art is for Lukács one of the great instruments by which man grapples with reality. Reality is man's dialectical being in nature, his self-preservation and self-evolution through work. Science and art are continuing efforts of the mind to contribute to this total anthropological process, through which man changes himself as well as the world in which he lives. Both are rooted in the mental operations involved in all human 'Praxis', in 'everyday life' as he calls it, and are means of developing this Praxis. Both mirror ('wiederspiegeln') the reality of which man is part…. (pp. 147-48)
Both science and art start from experience, from the particular, and both seek a general principle within this particular. The method of science is 'de-anthropomorphization', the elimination of personal immediacy in the search for general laws, for what Lukács calls 'the extensive and intensive totality' governing any particular. (p. 148)
The method of art is on the other hand 'anthropomorphic'. It seeks totality in a double sense. First: Its task is to make a 'totality' out of the reality it is reflecting…. Like science it has 'to reproduce...

A. G. Lehmann
Lukács' main writing as a Marxist critic of literature falls largely within [the] period in which it was most difficult, or even dangerous, to air venturesome thoughts that might not quite fit in with the canon of rigid and fixed rulings about what one should or should not think. (p. 173)
To recall these facts of history and to append to them these conjectures is not to exculpate the philosopher, let alone to applaud him. But Lukács' critical activities did not happen in a void, and they reflect certain facts about the world he lived in. During his stay in Moscow, Lukács did not announce his views through participation in the polemics on Socialist Realism, the new Russian orthodoxy exported to the rest of Europe via the network of party organs. He wrote of Tolstoy or Gorky, but not much of the successors of Sholokhov. He gave as a reason for this his defective knowledge of the Russian language. He gave keen attention to the novels of Heinrich Mann, as examples of a new democratic humanism in the making; but he steered clear of the entirely orthodox, copy-book 'socialist realist'—even programmatic—early socialist novels of Aragon in France (1935 onwards), though these were written in French. If he had pronounced their sentiments, treatment of themes, and value systems to be 'correct', he would no doubt have had difficulty in explaining why the novels, as novels, are unremarkable and tedious; but if he had attempted such an...

John Neubauer
The motto of the late Georg Lukács' Ästhetik, 'Sie wissen es nicht, aber sic tun es', a quotation from Marx, bears strange resemblance to the thesis of T. S. Eliot's Tradition and the Individual Talent. Both suggest that artists may not be aware of what they artistically do, that they represent a medium through which transindividual forces become manifest. Of course here the analogy ends: Eliot's 'tradition' is in no way comparable to the social, economic, and historical forces which, according to Lukács, are shaping art. Still, Lukács' motto ambiguously incorporates idealistic, as well as materialistic, strains, and one notes with curiosity that the very man who wrote a virulent indictment of irrationalism and its rise in Germany, should regard the distinction between artistic intuition and cognitive thinking as the innermost principle of aesthetics.
Separating the artistic from the empirical self, Lukács can shield from dogmatist Marxist criticism those great novelistic achievements of the nineteenth century which were written by authors that adhered to reactionary political views. In the works of Walter Scott—as well as Balzac, Tolstoy, and others—the artist speaks the truth malgré lui: 'Scott ranks among those great writers whose depth is manifest mainly in their work, a depth which they often do not understand themselves, because it has sprung from a truly realistic mastery of their material in...

Irving Howe
[Solzhenitsyn] is a remarkable book, far more so than the theoretical writings of Lukacs's earlier years, which in their recent translations have given rise to a wavelet of Marxist scholasticism. Perhaps because he found it easier or more prudent to express his deepest convictions through the mediated discourse of literary criticism than through direct political speech, Lukacs releases, with a fervor he had never before shown in print, the disgust he felt for Stalinism, at least Stalinism as the terrorist phase of the party-state dictatorship, if not as an integral sociopolitical system…. (p. 88)
Lukacs's admiration for Solzhenitsyn clearly went beyond the latter's literary achievement; it had much to do with his moral stature, his independence and courage. And it is precisely here that we encounter a painful problem. For between the absolute candor of Solzhenitsyn's work and the deviousness of Lukacs's career there is a startling difference, so much so that one senses in this little book a measure of discomfort and defensiveness. A man as intelligent as Lukacs could hardly have been unaware that he kept praising Solzhenitsyn for precisely the virtues he himself had rarely shown. (pp. 88-9)
One source of his admiration for Solzhenitsyn seems to be the Russian novelist's deliberate refusal of "tactics," the whole stale jumble of "dialectics" by which thinkers like Lukacs have persisted in justifying their...

J. Hoberman
As a philosopher, Georg Lukacs demanded totality; as a personality, he seems to defy it. If his reputation—on both sides of the Danube—has fluctuated over the years, it may be because no one quite knows which Lukacs to assimilate. Is he the revolutionary of 1919? The "romantic anti-capitalist" of 1923 (a current Western favorite)? The Stalinist "hack" of the 1930s? The vitriolic Cold Warrior? The Freedom Fighter of 1956? Or the "mellow" Marxist-Humanist of the late '60s? Considering this capacity for historical intervention and personal survival, the least one can say is that Lukacs was the most successful Marxist intellectual of the 20th century….
Whatever was Lukacs's subjective experience of [his] remarkable career, it vanished with him. His writings are relentlessly objective, willfully depersonalized. He had a lifelong aversion to psychology. "I can say that I have never felt frustration or any kind of complex in my life," he told an interviewer the year of his death. "I know what these mean, of course, from the literature of the twentieth century, and from having read Freud. But I have not experienced them myself." Lukacs placed all of his faith in reason; he was utterly dismissive of instinct, and we may assume that he correspondingly valued expediency over sentiment. (It is well to remember that Lukacs was not just a philosophical Marxist but a Party member of 40 years and twice a revolutionary Commissar.) But this is not...

"Awful customer experience"
I called in to book a room they had a old guy that didn't know how to speak English then when I finally had somebody speak a little English it was a really rude teenager. This is definitely a family owned business. That has no experience in customer service or hospitality. I would never recommend this place to any bodyAvis certifié Hotels.com
"El Centro,gateway to ?"
the hotel is split into two pieces that sit across the street from each other. I was across the street from the office. it was a good hotel except that there was no ice machine on my side of the street. The rooms are clean. this hotel is very popular with the contractors and sells out most nights.Avis certifié Hotels.com
"Working stay"
Average hotel in this price range. Very disappointed that they are removing the jacuzzi, I love that perk after a day working on a site. They say it costs to much to run all day. I say Upgrade your equipment, and run it from 5PM to 10PM for the hard working people looking for that perk. No jacuzzi means no more of my money when in town working!Avis certifié Hotels.com

"A crappy 2 nights stay"

"Nice room for the price. Quiet and convenient"
Overall stay was nice. The rooms are nice and kept clean. The only problem we had was that we booked a double queen room and was given a double bed room. The staff quickly accomodated us to the correct room. This is not a five star hotel, but it is a nice, clean and quiet stay for the money you pay. The housekeeping lady is always cleaning and always […] bringing clean towels and other amenities. Lisez la suiteAvis certifié Hotels.com
"Convenient stop along the way!"

"Great budget hotel"
Great budget hotel. We arrived late but check-in was easy and we were at our room in a few minutes. My only complaint is that the shower head is inexplicably low. I would guess that they have it in the wall at around five feet high. As a 6' male, this is annoying to say the least, but it's not a reason to avoid the hotel, which otherwise was great.Avis certifié Expedia

"Convenient location"
The room was clean and comfortable. No complaints here, only a couple of suggestions. 1) Four pillows is better than three, and 2) nice new TVs, but would be a lot better if they had HD quality reception. Also coffee maker didn't work.Avis certifié Hotels.com
"Quality has gone down"
We have stayed at this HoJo many times in the past 2 years. We have always had a wonderful, friendly stay...until this one. Jacuzzi was broken, ice machine was broken, breakfast food quality was lacking (bananas either mushy or not yet ripe, oranges browning and soft, cereal stale,). Plenty of milk and OJ, individually packaged muffins, bagels, etc. […] in breakfast room but fruit was not up to par. Staff is very friendly and accessible. Room was not very clean. It had been vacuumed and 'wiped down' but there were discarded tissues and food wrappers behind TV stand and nightstand. There were people 'partying' across the small side street from us, which is not the motel's fault, but disturbing nonetheless. One of the other motel guests had a dog which 'did it's business' right outside the door to our room. Unfortunately my granddaughter stepped in it before she saw it. I like to stay at a hotel/motel that we have frequented in the past but I'm afraid we will be staying elsewhere on our next visit to the El Centro/Imperial area.

Front desk gave me a suite that had a living room and kitchen attached. New carpet, bed wasn't too bad - sheets were good.Avis certifié Expedia
"Not too bad."
Our room was clean, the service was good, but the room could use some updating. Not enough parking for all the guests, we had to park in the street.Avis certifié Hotels.com
I stayed here for several weeks so i really got a feel for the place. The sheets one night had blood stains on them. The internet never worked. The pool is very small. the management does not speak english or spanish this presented a problem when trying communicate the different issues that arose. Oh and when i arrived the first few days i had painters […] coming in and out of my room to pain the door and windows. Lisez la suiteAvis certifié Expedia
"Broken tv and internet a daily hassel"
It all started off badly when my FIRST few hours in the hotel room, my windows and door was taped up by a crew of men peeping into my window. I woke up the next day at 6am to them loudly repainting the hotel an ugly yellow color. 4 hours later I was allowed out of my door that they taped off to discover they had covered my car in plastic to prevent […] it from being sprayed. NO manager phone call ahead of time to inform me to move my car. Other events included maids not cleaning my room for 2 days in a row, a tv that received 9 very bad channels (i had to request a repair), broken internet for 2 days (and once that was fixed, it froze and didn't load pages fully), and an AC unit that blasts like a jet engine. The only positive about this place was the ICE cold fridge. Someone was working outside my door or above my ceiling 24/7 pounding. Truly an awful experience, I had to cut out 10 days early and go to a nearby hotel. Nice job losing hundreds of dollars from me HoJo, the managers at this facility need to be reconsidered, they didn't handle any problem effectively, I will never stay at a Howard Johnson again.

"one night only."
This was one of the cheapest Hotel in the area, and I got what I paid for I guess. 1. the signal from the free Wifi was so weak that it would not load a web page. 2. shower head was at my chin, and I am average height (5' 10"). 3. Free breakfast did not start until 9am, had to be at work before then. Beds were ok, furniture was as expected. TV worked […] well, so did microwave and Fridge. If all you need a bed to crash for the night, this is the place. anythings else, upgrade. Lisez la suiteAvis certifié Expedia
"Right off the 8 freeway"
I booked the Howard Johnson for 2 nites June 2012. When we arrived in the area, I had a hard time finding the hotel. Luckily my son found a small Howard Johnson sign. The large freeway sign was for Super 8. The items in the hotel said Super 8. We entered the room (no elevator) on 2nd floor heaving our luggage up steps to a room that had no lamps plugged […] in. We had a hard time initially entering room. The bathroom was EXTREMELY tiny. Big room overall. Needed finishing touches to make it look a bit more pristine. For less than $60 a nite though, I wouls stay there again. The owners need to do the little things to tidy up the place. The linens were clean and the a/c was good & cold.

"Great bang for the buck"
The staff were very nice and courteous. My room was clean, however, when I checked in the microwave was not clean. I left a note for the housekeeping staff and it was cleaned the next day. No problems after that. Close to restaurants.Avis certifié Expedia
"Great hotel for comfort, ammenities, and price."
This is a great hotel for the price range in El Centro. It is as good as those hotels charging 20-30% more money with the same ammenities. The location is close to downtown. The room was clean, well appointed, and updated. The bed was comfortable and the linens were newer. The free contintental breakfast was fresh and had many options to choose from. […] I will stay here again. Lisez la suiteAvis certifié Expedia
The toilet seat needs to be replaced. It is a wooden seat that has the painted surface cracking creating an unsanitary condition.Avis certifié Hotels.com
"Sleepless in El Centro"
The room was clean but the walls and windows not sufficient to prevent noise and wind. Was unable to sleep due to noise. Also, the blanket was almost glued to underneath the mattress and made it uncomfortable. Slept at an angle.Avis certifié Expedia
"Not what I expected"
They need to care for the motel more! Room 107 had graffiti all over the windows n the lock was broken. Had to switch out rooms and all they had was the handicap room and was not to comfy. Would not stay here again!Avis certifié Expedia
"Better than expected"

"Howard Johson Inn El Centro on Ocotillo"
I have to say that based on the price I expected this to be an average location. I was pleasantly surprised by the facility and the staff. I've stayed at several Franchise Hotel Chains and the service ranges from Lackluster to Hostile. The owners and staff of THIS Howard Johnson were EXCELLENT. From check-in to Maintenance Service to Housekeeping. A […] friendlier staff couldn't have been asked for. The Facility is showing some age but is well kept and very comformtable.

Platinum Group Reports 2012 Annual Results
November 23, 2012
(Vancouver/Johannesburg) Platinum Group Metals Ltd. (PTM-TSX; PLG-NYSE MKT) ("Platinum Group" or the "Company") reports the Company's financial results for the year ended August 31, 2012. For details of the consolidated financial statements (the "Financial Statements") and Management's Discussion and Analysis for the year ended August 31, 2012 please see the Company's filings on SEDAR (www.sedar.com) or on EDGAR (www.sec.gov). Shareholders are encouraged to visit the Company's website at www.platinumgroupmetals.net. Shareholders may request a copy of the complete Financial Statements from the Company free of charge.
The Company's cash position at August 31, 2012 was $48.17 million, including $30.51 million in restricted cash. The Company holds cash in both Canadian dollars and South African Rand and changes in the exchange rate may create variance in the cash holdings reported in Canadian dollars. All amounts herein are reported in Canadian dollars unless otherwise specified.
Platinum Group has made the transition to mine construction at the Western Bushveld Joint Venture Project 1 platinum mine ("Project 1") located near Rustenburg, South Africa and has made a discovery of a second platinum deposit in South Africa at the Waterberg project located near Mokopane, South Africa.
Phase 1 construction at Project 1 is estimated for completion in late March or early April, 2013. The planned US $260 million project senior loan facility for Phase 2 construction has advanced through detailed technical, financial and legal due diligence. The loan is in the formal credit approval process at this time.
Drilling to expand the newly discovered inferred mineral resource at the Waterberg project is continuing.
Recent Highlights
A US $100 million Phase 1 development program is now approximately 80% complete at Project 1. A central box cut excavation has been completed. The sinking of twin declines at the central location is progressing well. Both declines are now advanced to 770 metres linear from their collar. Substantial surface infrastructure has now been constructed on site.
Safety, in all our operations, is our number one priority, and the Company is pleased to report that onsite safety performance at Project 1 has been excellent to date with approximately 950,000 man hours worked and two minor lost time incidents.
A south box cut excavation for a planned second twin decline system is substantially complete. Sinking of this second decline set is planned to commence under Phase 2.
A temporary power supply of 1.5MVA has been installed on site and has been energized. Construction of a 10 MVA supply line and substation is almost complete, with switch gear currently being installed. This service is to be energized in early 2013.
Milestones Completed
On November 5, 2012, the Company announced new drill intercepts approximately doubling the strike length of the Waterberg discovery to a total of 5.5 kilometers up to the northern boundary of the current joint venture project. The results extended the known "F" mineralized layers for 2.7 kilometers beyond the initial resource area declared in September, 2012. Results included 24.00 meters grading 4.32 grams per tonne ("g/t") 2E (platinum ("Pt") and palladium ("Pd") collectively) + gold ("Au") with a larger intercept of 58.00 meters of 2.98 g/t 2E+Au (Hole WB027). Results also included 11.5 meters grading 7.18 g/t 2E + Au (Hole WB031) and 8.5 meters of 4.8 g/t 2E+Au (Hole WB-034). The deposit remains open. See Technical Report titled "Updated Exploration Results and Mineral Resource Estimate for the Waterberg Platinum Project, South Africa located on the Northern Limb of the Bushveld Complex", with an effective date of November 5, 2012 (the "Updated Waterberg Report") available at www.sedar.com
On September 11, 2012, the Company announced that Rustenburg Platinum Mines Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Anglo American Platinum Limited, had exercised its first right of refusal to purchase the off-take of concentrate from Project 1. Formal agreements are in process.
On September 4, 2012, the Company announced an initial 6.6 million ounce inferred mineral resource estimate at the Waterberg project (initial inferred mineral resource estimate of 68 million tonnes at 3.01 g/t 2E+Au, comprised of 0.94 g/t Pt, 1.71 g/t Pd, 0.37 g/t Au. See the Updated Waterberg Report. On July 9, 2012, the Company's board of directors approved the adoption of a shareholder rights plan (the "Plan") subject to shareholder approval. The Plan is now effective and will be set to a vote of the shareholders at the Company's annual general and special meeting scheduled for January 8, 2013. On May 23, 2012, the Company announced the expansion of the Waterberg discovery. Multiple layers of higher grade mineralization were intersected at depths as shallow as 122 to 122 meters from surface. On April 4, 2012, the Government of South Africa issued a formal Mining Right to the Company for Project 1 in terms of section 23(1) of the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act, 28 of 2002, subject to environmental authorizations, water use licenses and compliance with applicable legislation on an ongoing basis.
Results For The Year Ended August 31, 2012
During the year ended August 31, 2012, the Company incurred a net loss of $10.59 million (August 31, 2011 – net loss of $8.89 million). General and administrative expenses during the period were reduced from the previous year to $5.37 million (August 31, 2011 - $6.79 million), losses on foreign exchange, due primarily to a weaker Rand at period end, were $3.59 million (August 31, 2011 –$0.12 million), while stock based compensation expense, a non-cash item, totalled $2.01 million (August 31, 2011 - $6.91 million). Finance income consisting of interest earned and property rental fees in the year amounted to $3.94 million (August 31, 2011- $3.79 million). Loss per share for the year amounted to $0.06 per share, as compared to a loss of $0.05 per share for the comparative year of fiscal 2011.
Accounts receivable at August 31, 2012 totalled $4.70 million while accounts payable and accrued liabilities amounted to $7.78 million. Accounts receivable were comprised primarily of value added taxes repayable to the Company in South Africa and amounts receivable from partners. Accounts payable included accrued professional fees, contract construction fees, drilling expenses, engineering fees and regular trade payables for ongoing exploration and development costs and administration.
Total expenditures by the Company for development and purchases of property and equipment for Project 1 during the year totaled approximately $37 million, before including the effects of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. Expenditures by the Company during the year for exploration on Waterberg were approximately $6.68 million, of which $3.36 million was funded by joint venture partner Japanese Oil, Gas and Metals National Corporation ("JOGMEC"). Mineral property acquisition and exploration expenditures in Canada during the year totaled $1.89 million.
The Company's objectives for the year ahead are to complete the senior loan facility and other financing and move into a safe and efficient Phase 2 construction of Project 1, to further the geological understanding of the near surface Waterberg platinum, palladium and gold deposit and to further explore the new northern portion of the Bushveld Complex discovered by the Company.
Phase 1 construction at Project 1 is expected to be completed on budget. Phase 2 development will commence once the project loan facility and additional financing from the Company are available. Phase 2 is to include a second twin decline access south of the central twin decline development, underground lateral development, a milling and concentrating facility and a tailings impoundment area.
In conjunction with ongoing cost estimation work and banking preparations, an updated project schedule for Phase 2 has been completed by the Company. Plant and facility construction and commissioning are estimated to take up to two years to complete. Full commercial production is estimated to occur after a two year ramp-up period subsequent to the commissioning of the plant. The Merensky Reef is scheduled to be mined in the first approximately 13 years of the mine life. Steady state production is modelled at an average annual rate of 275,000 4E ounces of (platinum, palladium, rhodium and gold collectively) ounces in concentrate (on average during the nine years of peak production). See the technical report titled "Updated Technical Report (Updated Feasibility Study Western Bushveld Joint Venture Project 1 (Elandsfontein and Frischgewaagd)" dated November 20, 2009 with an effective date of October 8, 2009 (the "UFS") available at www.sedar.com.
At the Waterberg project, in the newly discovered "north of the North Limb" of the Bushveld Complex region, approximately 28 holes have been drilled since the cut off for the initial inferred mineral resource. Additional assay results for many holes are pending at this time. PGE mineralization has now been intercepted in drilling for approximately 5.5 km of strike length. The "T" layers have been intercepted from 122 metres below surface to 1,375 metres deep.
A US $8.37 million 2012 drilling program at Waterberg funded by JOGMEC and the Company is nearing completion. Planning for a 2013 program by the Waterberg joint venture is in progress, including funding for an updated resource estimate and then a preliminary economic assessment. Interpretation of current drilling combined with geophysical survey data indicates that the currently granted prospecting rights allow for up to six kilometres of northeasterly strike length before the system strikes onto the adjacent permit area, which is under registered application to the Company. The up-dip extension of the deposit to the east will be drilled once that licence area, now under registered application, is granted to the Company on behalf of the Waterberg joint venture.

The Shelby Cobra needs little to no introduction, it's the reason we have many of the performance cars we have today, it broke all the rules and firmly planted the Unite States in the international racing scene as a serious contender. Carroll Shelby's contribution to automotive history will always be one of the greats. As such the competition 427 cars have retained iconic status and today are must haves for collectors privileged enough to find and afford one. It is no surprise that the Shelby Cobra today is the most replicated car of all time, and is offered by many different companies. The car on offer here however represents an opportunity above and beyond the usual "replica" as we know it. This is a true CSX Shelby Cobra, completed by Shelby American from the same jigs, hands, and workshops of the original cars. Utilizing every component the originals had, but with up to date and stronger alloys, tighter fitting accessories, and overall extraordinary build quality. These continuation CSX4000 cars are certainly a special offering from the Shelby works, and are as real and true as the originals producing all of the same smiles on those fortunate enough to enjoy one. Offered in the classic Elliot Red with Wimbledon White LeMans Stripes, this Competition specification 427 Cobra was produced at Shelby American in Las Vegas, NV and ordered as it is seen today. It was then shipped to Bill Andrews of HRE Motor Cars to have its all aluminum 427 fitted. Fed by a dual quad wedge type intake with Holly Carburetors with period correct Stellings Type air cleaners, this very period correct style power plant has been dynode at nearly 545hp. Power to the wheels is by way of a Tremec 5-Speed but in keeping with the original style retains an original style shifting set up and knob. The wide deep-set Halibrand knock offs are wrapped with correct Good Year billboards. The AP Racing Brakes are hidden but put to good use in stopping this incredible machine. We can record just less than 5,000 miles from new and approximately 3 owners. The cosmetic condition of the car overall shows hints of use but is basically flawless otherwise. The fiberglass is in excellent condition, all of the chrome appears to be nearly new with all glass and rubber components in excellent condition. The correct knock off wheels are free of blemishes and the paint is consistent throughout with a deep luster. As this car has been enjoyed, there are a few blemishes to be noted. There is a chip here or there, but nothing out of the ordinary or of major concern. The panel fitment and gaps are excellent as expected from a factory built hand crafted performance car. The care and methods applied to these cars set them far apart form there Factory Five or other reproductions. The CSX continuation car is truly that, with no compromise in quality. Upon entering the interior, one will notice clean door jams and very smooth, well hung doors, with easy operation and shut utilizing original style latches. The interior is nearly immaculate, very clean, very correct, right down the seat adjustment knob. A modern set of Simpson harnesses have been installed for safety as well as a mounted fire extinguisher. The seats are plush leather, and the dash correctly outfitted with the correct style Smiths gauges. Other correct items include a wood rim Shelby Steering Wheel, the ubiquitous chrome roll hoop, and optional wind wings. Upon starting CSX4092 it is evident there is plenty of power, of which becomes a reality when one goes through the gears. This is a seriously fast car, and absolutely resembles the originals abilities and intent. The clutch, shifting, and brake operation is all without fault, all gauges read as they should and there are no issues to be reported. CSX4092 is a rare occasion for the collector or enthusiast seeking a real Shelby Cobra without the price tag. These continuation cars are every bit as real, incredible to drive and offer a true collectible car that won't disappoint. Complete with Tonneau cover, car cover, and all of the elements one would expect in a real 427 Cobra such as this, CSX4092 is worth much consideration. Please visit www.lbilimited.com for many more photos and inquire with interest.

With the update, they also raised to prize money by about 30-40% and added crew so you can potentially double your winnings from time to time. I had a race this morning coupled with a 30% daily bonus (they reset it after the update) and the crew dude for RR$ and I made just over 60,000 RR$. The only new thing I don't like is the time trials are invalidated if you leave the track even for an instant. I know they did this because some people were cheating and WAAAAY cutting through the track to get ridiculously low trial times. But now, if you skid off even just barely or slightly cut a corner your drive credit is lost and you get no percentage increase as well as no time submission. They went to the other extreme, and it makes TTs very frustrating now. |

When it comes to the IAP portion, I will only spend the same amount of money, maybe a little bit more, that I did for RR2, since I don't mind paying for games. After that, if I can't get win enough to play something or get a car, then I won't play the game, and I'll probably stop playing it. I enjoy it right now. I really like Mount Panorama My biggest complaint is that on an iPad3 after iOS7 was installed, performance was really degraded. I'm even seeing phantom cars pop up momentarily in the middle of Endurance trials. I need to tweak the settings all around to find the best combination.

I really don't mean to be rude, but if you drive well in this game you won't find yourself making any IAP. There's always something to do/drive with, and as the lower-end cars only take a minute to service (unlock them/drive them when your more expensive ones are being serviced), then you'll be absolutely fine. RR is actually excellent in that IAP don't have a mandatory part to play. You drive well, you win. You get frustrated at the challenge, then you will end up constantly retrying and cursing the IAP model for 'forcing' you to pay, rather than to wait. Simple as that.

EA has ruined Real Racing 3 and Plants vs Zombies 2.
Freemium brings three choices: 1. Constantly pay for a game. 2. Don't pay anything, but constantly be annoyed and delayed. 3. Play some other game that doesn't have this BS in the first place. I choose #3. RR and PvZ are dead to me. |

You are able to hack Real Racing 3 for iOS and forget about purchasing Gold Coins, etc. There is no need to Jail Break the device. I was able to do this and get 2.6 billion coins. But the problem is that the maker of the game realized this and the only way to get to some Levels/Cars is to achieve trophies which sucks but what can you do. No worry about pay to play.
