NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- If you are a bank and still haven't repaid government bailout money, Uncle Sam has a deal for you.
Lenders that previously received federal funds through the Troubled Assets Relief Program, or TARP, are using the U.S. Treasury's newly created Small Business Lending Fund (SBLF) to pay off TARP IOUs.
The government and banks see the swap of one loan for another a win/win.
The banks can cut the interest on their government bailout money by huge amounts. Banks that still owe TARP are currently paying 5% dividends, while dividends paid through SBLF are as little as 1%.The U.S. Treasury sees the program as a way of expanding small business lending. Like TARP, Treasury continues to take preferred stakes in banks receiving money through the SBLF but dividend payments can range from 1% to 5% depending on how successful a lender is in growing its small business loan portfolio. The $30 billion SBLF was created when President Obama signed the Small Business Jobs Act, last September. The Washington Post reported on Sunday that Eagle Bancorp (EGBN) of Bethesda, Md., had redeemed the remaining $23.2 million in preferred shares held by the government for TARP assistance, with some of $56.6 million the bank holding company received through the Small Business Lending Fund, or SBLF. Two Connecticut bank holding companies that are "already taking advantage" of the opportunity to convert TARP preferred shares to SBLF preferred shares include BNC Financial Group (BNFI) of Fairfield, and SBT Bancorp (SBTB) of Simsbury, according to the Hartford Business Journal, which also reported that Connecticut Bank and Trust (CTBC) had applied for SBLF money. First California Financial Group (FCAL) of Westlake Village, Calif., used the $25 million in SBLF money received this month to repay TARP, although, according to company's July 14th announcement, its initial dividend for the SBLF money will be the same 5% it was paying for the TARP money. The dividend "may be decreased to as low as 1% if growth thresholds are met for outstanding small business loans," the company said. SNL Financial in May identified 53 banks that said they were applying for SBLF, also commented at that time that "applying banks

Whether it's spaghetti or lasagna or any other potential mess, Symantec can clear away whatever Gromozon dishes out. Our team has already written a couple of blogs on just how nasty the Gromozon (LinkOptimizer) threat is. You can read about it in Gromozon.com and Italian Spaghetti, and Gromozon Evolution: From Spaghetti to Lasagna.
Recently, we took 18 different LinkOptimizer samples and did our own testing to see whether or not other vendors could deal with this super aggressive threat. The results are pretty staggering. Symantec provides the most complete protection, whereas the next closest vendor handled only five out of the 18 samples.
Products tested:
Norton AntiVirus 2007
SpySweeper 18.104.22.1686
Trend Micro AntiVirus 11.26 (Engine 8.320)
McAfee VirusScan Plus 11.0.213
Microsoft One Care with Windows Defender
Each product was updated to its latest definitions in the week of Oct 19 - 26, 2006. If you think that you have this threat on your system and want to get rid of it, we offer a free, stand-alone removal tool here: http://www.symantec.com/security_response/writeup.jsp?docid=20

Jamaat-e-Islam declares war against democracy of Bangladesh
They called upon all pro-independence forces to unite to prevent this conspiracy.
Around 50 have been killed in the violence touched off by the sentencing of leader Delwar Hossain Sayedee to death for his wartime brutality to prevent the birth of Bangladesh in 1971.
Their call came as the violence continued for the fourth straight day on Sunday, the first day of the three days of strike called by Jamaat and its key ally BNP. They mayhem is targeted mainly at the law enforcers, pro-Awami League activists and the Hindus.
The MPs came down hard on the opposition leader Khaleda Zia for siding with Jamaat, which has let loose a reign of terror to force the government to release the party's leaders standing trial or convicted over war crimes.
"Jamaat and Shibir carried out anarchy in a planned way despite there is scope to appeal against the Sayedee verdict," said Rashed Khan Menon, initiating a discussion.
"The attack is to foil the trial of the war criminals. We had experienced similar incident in 1971," said Menon, President of the Workers Party.
Awami League's Presidium Member Sheikh Fazlul Karim Selim said the BNP chief was making every move possible for disrupting democracy.
"She is inflaming the situation to upset the communal harmony."
"The BNP and Jamaat both are talking about civil war so that we retaliate. We are being provoked, but we won't act under (provocation)."
Menon thinks the use of the word 'genocide' to define the recent violence is an attempt by the BNP Chairperson to protect those who were involved in genocide in 1971 war.
He castigated the former Prime Minister for not talking about the incidents in which the Shaheed Minar were vandalised and national flags burned.
"She does not know what genocide stands for as she never saw it," said another Awami League Presidium Member Tofail Ahmed.
Sheikh Selim claimed the written statement Khaleda read out was actually a press release from Inter-Services Intelligence, the military intelligence agency of Pakistan.
Awami League's MP Abdul Mannan reported attacks on his residence in Bogra during Sunday's violence.
"Awami League can avenge this if it wishes. But Awami League does not believe in taking revenge."
He said only a united pro-independence force may resist the violence of Jamaat and Shibir.
"All pro-independence forces must win this war. They must take to the streets," said Menon.
Awami League's Advisory Council member Suranjit Sengupta questioned why the administration was not there when minority communities were attacked. "They are passing days in terror."
He demanded that Jamaat be banned.
"A secular government is now in power. Jamaat does not have the Constitutional right to do politics as a political party. They can be banned by an executive order. We should not wait for the court to order this."
Menon urged the people to react and said it was the right moment to decide that Jamaat and Shibir be resisted.
"I hope, the matter will be discussed thoroughly and the government will clear its position on the matter."
The alliance MPs said Jamaat and Shibir misled people by spreading the propaganda that 'a portrait of Sayedee can be seen on the moon".
"They are misleading unsuspecting believers by running a propaganda campaign. They are spreading religious propaganda by putting women and children on the front lines."
According to Bogra MP Mannan, Jamaat supporters, after the Fajr prayers, launched the attack on the police station by drawing a crowd by spreading the propaganda that the Moon was reflecting a picture of Sayedee.
Nine were killed as the violence raged on.

Courage is an everyday thing. When we look reality squarely in the eye and refuse to back away from our awareness, we are living courage.Samuel
It is not enough to demand insight and informative images of reality from the theater. Our theater must stimulate a desire for understanding, a delight in changing reality. Our audience must experience not only the ways to free Prometheus, but be schooled in the very desire to free him. Theater must teach all the pleasures and joys of discovery, all the feelings of triumph associated with liberation.Bertolt Brecht
Someone's opinion of you does not have to become your reality.Les Brown
Painting is not for me either decorative amusement, or the plastic invention of felt reality; it must be every time: invention, discovery, revelation.Max Ernst
The supreme reality of our time is... the vulnerability of our planet.John F. Kennedy
The creation of the mental domain of phantasm has a complete counterpart in the establishment of "reservations" and "nature-parks."... The "reservation" is to maintain the old condition of things which has been regretfully sacrificed to necessity everywhere else; there everything make grow and spread as it pleases, including what is it useless and even what is harmful. The mental realm of phantasm is also such a reservation reclaimed from the encroachment of the reality-principle.Sigmund Freud
The reality is that zero defects in products plus zero pollution plus zero risk on the job is equivalent to maximum growth of government plus zero economic growth plus runaway inflation.Alan Walters
It is probable that all heavy matter possessesólatent and bound up with the structure of the atomóa similar quantity of energy to that possessed by radium. If it could be tapped and controlled, what an agent it would be in shaping the world's destiny! The man who puts his hand on the lever by which a parsimonious nature regulates so jealously the output of this store of energy would possess a weapon by which he could destroy the Earth if he chose. A prescient remark on atomic energy after the discovery of radioactivity, but decades before the harnessing of nuclear fission in an atomic bomb became a realityFrederick Soddy
Till now, society has protected the adult and blamed the victim. It has been abetted in its blindness by theories, still in keeping with the pedagogical principles of our great- grandparents, according to which children are viewed as crafty creatures, dominated by wicked drives, who invent stories and attack their innocent parents or desire them sexually. In reality, children tend to blame themselves for their parents' cruelty and to absolve the parents, whom they invariably love, of all responsibility.Alice Miller
Osama Bin Laden was responsible for the deaths of thousands of innocent people. Terror was brought to many countries on his direct orders and in his name, against men, women and children, Christians and Muslims. Osama Bin Laden claimed to be acting in the name of Islam, but in reality he made a mockery of the basic values of his and all other religions.German Chancellor Angela Merkel
There are more things to alarm us than to harm us, and we suffer more often in apprehension than reality.Seneca
Why has elegance found so little following? That is the reality of it. Elegance has the disadvantage, if that's what it is, that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it.Edsger Dijkstra
Too much of what is called "education" is little more than an expensive isolation from realityThomas Sowell
Illusions commend themselves to us because they save us pain and allow us to enjoy pleasure instead. We must therefore accept it without complain when they sometimes collide with a bit of reality against which they are dashed to pieces.Sigmund Freud
Loneliness is not cured by human company. Loneliness is cured by contact with reality.Anthony De Mello
We cast away priceless time in dreams, born of imagination, fed upon illusion, and put to death by reality.Judy Garland
We cast away priceless time in dreams, born of imagination, fed upon illusion, and put to death by reality.Judy Garland
Photography, as we all know, is not real at all. It is an illusion of reality with which we create our own private worldArnold Newman
Meditation upon the unknown Thought He thought was real meditation. No, meditation is not and cannot be On any thought. Meditation is a conscious withdrawal From the thought-world. Meditation is the place Where Reality, Divinity and Immortality Can each claim their own Perennial existence-light.Sri Chinmoy
The country of the tourist pamphlet always is another country, an embarrassing abstraction of the desirable that, thank God, does not exist on this planet, where there are always ants and bad smells and empty Coca-Cola bottles to keep the grubby finger-print of reality upon the beautiful.Nadine Gordimer
The fact that political ideologies are tangible realities is not a proof of their vitally necessary character. The bubonic plague was an extraordinarily powerful social reality, but no one would have regarded it as vitally necessary.Wilhelm Reich
This is not remarkable, for, as we know, reality is not a function of the event as event, but of the relationship of that event to past, and future, events. We seem here to have a paradox: that the reality of an event, which is not real in itself, arises from the other events which, likewise, in themselves are not real. But this only affirms what we must affirm: that direction is all. And only as we realize this do we live, for our own identity is dependent upon this principal.Robert Penn Warren
Words, as is well known, are great foes of realityJoseph Conrad

Really, because of the complete dearth of YA when I became a teenager, once I finished most of the Sweet Valley High series in Grade Seven, the next logical step was Margaret Laurence's The Stone Angel - true story.
The book that has inspired this particular blog post is: Paula Danzinger's The Cat Ate My Gymsuit. I am sorry to say that I must have given away my copy of this book in one of the many clean outs of my youth, so I got it from my local library - will have to peruse my local used bookstore to find a classic cover copy.Originally published in 1974, I think that I had originally read The Cat Ate My Gymsuit in 1982 or 1983. I know that I read it more than once.
Thirteen years old, overweight, and insecure, Marcy Lewis, finds her voice when her new English teacher, Ms. Finney, teaches her to think for herself. When the School Board suspends Ms. Finney for her unorthodox teaching methods, Marcy and her friends organize a protest to bring her back.
Although some of the dialogue might seem didactic now, the feminist and political overtones of the novel are really interesting. (Lizzie Skurnick wrote this very interesting piece in 2008 on the novel.)While Ms. Finney is encouraging her students to think for herself and Marcy's mousey mother learns to speak up against her verbally abusive husband, Marcy struggles with socially perceived notions of beauty and weight, and her mother's encouragement to date the school smart boy (who reminded me of a soft version of Gilbert Blythe without the slate-over-the-head incident), Joel Anderson.
All of this new information struck me, because I remembered nothing of the political and feminist overtones of the novel, only how much I connected with Marcy as I was going through my own version of pubescent hell. Like Marcy, I took ballet and felt like a large uncoordinated elephant in a tutu. Like Marcy, I had been dieting since I was seven when I couldn't fit into a dress for my cousin's wedding. Like Marcy, I felt like, as she says, "a baby blimp with wire-frame glasses and mousy brown hair," most of my life and was pretty sure that is what I would be. But the moment when I knew that Marcy and I were kindred spirits was this:
"How could she [Ms. Finney] know what it feels like to be so fat and ugly that you're ashamed to get into a gymsuit or talk to skinny people? Who wants to say, 'This is my friend, the Blimp?'"
The cover Skurnick posted in her 2008 article totally hit home for me (see above), because I'm sure that was the edition that I had read in 1983. It was either that one, or this other one:
Interestingly, the newer covers, form the 1990s have this weird- and skinny - cartoonish version of Marcy.
Marcy gets mixed messages from her mother. On one hand, her mother wishes her to look her best and be happy so she can meet a nice boy, and on the other hand, she dishes Marcy and her younger brother, Stuart, bowls of ice cream when they're upset. Later, Marcy tries to avoid bowls of ice cream and gets an approving nod from her friend, Nancy, when she declines snacks. This reminded me of being the plump kid dieting on tuna fish and crackers while other kids are eating the cafeteria pizza, or avoiding the snacks at every party I've attended since...well, ever.
I don't like to think about my life between 9 and 12. It is probably why I mostly skip the whole middle grade reading and go to the teen books. Reading Danzinger's book has inspired me to go back. Who knows if I'm ready to befriend that fat awkward kid who had to start wearing a bra at 10 and got her period at 11.
Connecting to Marcy helped me through that difficult year. I always think of it fondly and I'm glad that years later I can still see why.
Connecting to Marcy helped me through that difficult year. I always think of it fondly and I'm glad that years later I can still see why.
This story isn't unusual. I'm not writing this to say, "Oh woe is me, the fat girl who felt shitty about herself." But, what I think is fascinating is how much this book helped me at 10 and how it seemed to help me get back to that girl now. Mostly, because I think she has a story to tell and I haven't been brave enough yet to let her tell it.
Although I've spent years in therapy, reading feminist theory on the body politic, and reclaiming my rubenesque figure - that really comes from a line of women on my mother's side named Rubenstein - ten-year-old Mel is still there. Quietly pouting.
Even though I know every woman sees something they don't like about themselves, I still look at some of the pretty little blond women I work with and I hear myself screaming: "Why? Why wasn't I born with a natural graceful thinness - and the desire to exercise daily?"
I'm hoping that by reading some of the books that I read at ten, maybe I can nurture her into finally feeling good about who she is. Maybe one day, I'll feel good about getting into my own purple gymsuit.
I guess the first step is putting a picture up for the world to see.
I wish I could go back and tell her how cute she was...

This off-season The Nats Blog will be holding weekly interviews with blogs for all thirty teams. One site a week leading up to the start of the 2011 baseball season. This week I spoke with Jim Gardner from Halos Heaven, one of the top Angels blogs on the net, to talk about the teams unusual down year and the state of the franchise.
TNB: With names like Jered Weaver, Dan Haren, and Scott Kazmir in your rotation, were you surprised with the teams struggles last season?
Halos Heaven: The problems the Angels had last season wasn't with the starting pitching (except Kazmir). Early in the season, the Angels' bullpen seemed to leak worse than the Minnow, until finally righting itself in the second half of the season. The reason for last season's struggles was an offense that scored over 200 runs less than in 2009.
TNB: In you most non-biased opinion, where does Mike Scioscia rank among the all-time best managers?
Halos Heaven: Scioscia is undoubtedly the most successful Angels manager in franchise history, and his all-time winning percentage is in the Top 50, but I personally don't like the way he will use a player exclusively in the predetermined roles he has set up (i.e. using the same closer or setup guy regardless of the matchup), sticking with a veteran a little too long, and worst of all Jeff Mathis. But you asked for unbiased opinion…Mike Scioscia will be the first person to be wearing an Angels cap on their Hall of Fame plaque.
TNB: How will the loss of Hideki Matsui impact the rest of the teams lineup?
Halos Heaven: Who? Oh yeah, he was on the team last year. Seriously, I was excited when the Angels signed him prior to the 2010 season, but it never really seemed like he was there. He was brutally cold when the Angels needed someone to step up after the loss of Kendry Morales, and when he finally got hot the season was pretty much lost. If the club doesn't sign one of the remaining free agents (Damon, Posednik, or Manny Ramirez (yikes!)), they'll use the DH spot to rotate at-bats with Rivera/Napoli/Abreu. This should at least match the output of 2010 Matsui.
TNB: Do you think Ervin Santana is one of the more underrated starting pitchers in the game?
Halos Heaven: Yeah, but I think he's underrated because he's been so inconsistent. He's got that odd/even year thing going where he's only good in even years. In my opinion, of the four Angels starters, he's the most likely to be traded before the start of the season for some offense.
TNB: What is the current state of the Angels…rebuilding or reloading?
Halos Heaven: Neither? They just seem to be treading water. When I think of a team rebuilding they usually start by trading away their old or over-priced talent for prospects. The Angels still have plenty of those types of players. Scoiscia has gone on records as saying that he thinks he can patch together a decent offense. Whenever someone says they have to "patch together" something it usually means it's broke. The Angels haven't done anything to fix the broken offense, which seems like they're not reloading either.

Directed by Abbas Kiarostami
"Like Someone in Love", the jazz standard that Abbas Kiarostami's new film takes its name from, is the kind of love song that can easily qualify as a song about insanity, depending on how cynical you're feeling. Romantic types hearing Ella Fitzgerald's rendition of the tune might focus on the lyrical mentions of star-gazing and guitar-playing. Other listeners might point to the suggestions of auditory hallucinations, fainting spells, and collisions with furniture.
With its adoring embrace of Tokyo neon and torch songs, the latest from the renowned Iranian director looks and sounds like a movie for the former listener, but this off-kilter story about love ends up playing even darker than the latter might hope for. Another retro-pop precedent that comes to mind is The Crystals' "He Hit Me (And It Felt Like A Kiss)" — if you get swept up in the film's sensory joy, which envelops you not unlike a Phil Spector "wall of sound," you might miss a strikingly gloomy view of human nature.
The tone is set right from the first shot of a glamorous, crowded Tokyo bar. We hear, but don't see, a woman on the phone attempting to convince a jealous boyfriend that she's not lying about where she is. She sounds earnest enough, but as Kiarostami is undoubtedly aware, it's hard to trust someone that you can't look in the eye. The scene that follows is the essence of cinematic simplicity, alternating between two angles in that bar, but in this calm Kiarostami finds ways to repeatedly upend your perception of what's happening.
Your sympathy at first lies squarely with the woman, Akiko (revealed eventually as actress/model Rin Takanashi), forced to put up with her boyfriend's paranoid demands (like counting the bathroom floor tiles so he can confirm the number later). That feeling is complicated when it becomes clear the girl is working nights as an escort to help pay for her college tuition. And it's complicated more still when we see from the girl's interaction with her eerily polite pimp that if she entered that sideline willingly, she certainly doesn't seem willing now.
There's the flavor of pulp tropes to this setup, which doesn't go away when Akiko is sent to the apartment of a kindly professor Takashi (Tadashi Okuno), the proverbial golden-hearted hooker meeting with a lonely, chivalrous soul. But again Kiarostami is intent on keeping you disoriented. If the pair seem to bond — platonically, despite the seduction-ready jazz and a home-cooked meal (which Takashi really ordered from the take-out place downstairs) – they end up dragging each other deeper into their respective predicaments.
What follows is a game of true and false identities — Takashi gets mistaken as a grandfather, Akiko gets recognized from an escort ad, and the boyfriend Noriaki (twitchy Japanese star Ryo Kase) hints at worrying income streams beyond his garage-owner façade. The characters seem caught somewhere between a noir and a light farce, and Kiarostami suggests that the difference between the two is largely a matter of economic choice and consequences. Those scratching by in a criminal economy depend on deception and disorientation as necessities — woe to the wealthy interloper diving into that game out of mischievous curiosity.
This may sound plot-heavy on paper, but Kiarostami is as devoted to cinematic minimalism as he is to intellectual gamesmanship. The allure of his images aside (particularly his fetish for lights and scenery glancing off car windows and obscuring passenger faces), he's more interested in capturing realistic textures of life than in dramatic emphasis. He's a director you have to meet halfway. It's easy to not think much of the ominous hints subtly delivered here — Noriaki noting "When my buddies are in need, they come see me" or the regular at his garage explaining to the sociology professor that "Violence in society interests me" — until they pay off.
And with Kiarostami, style is as important as content. His 2010 triumph Certified Copy, with Juliette Binoche in the lush open air of Tuscany, was centered on unreserved emotions (true or false) spilling forth. This film of metropolitan cramped-quarters is in part about repression, societal and personal. And as that opening scene suggests, the sound design is crucial. Raw emotion — a girl's shouted defiance, a grandmother's heartfelt voicemails, a man's unhinged screams — is heard and not seen in this film, shunted away outside the frame. That is, until the force of that emotion causes the boundaries containing it to give way or, in the case of the film's startling, abrupt ending, shatter.
Everything circles back to that title, with its characters fulfilling different permutations of that four-word phrase. Akiko is paid to pretend she's like someone in love and Takashi chooses to play-act paternal love, but Noriaki is really and truly in love, whatever else he also might be — and in the universe of this film, that makes him dangerously revolutionary.Copyright © 2014, Los Angeles Times

Rated 4 out of 5 by bebeji Gratitute Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a gift and not presenting it. On that note, I thank the very friendly front office executive, her ever smiling reception staff, smart and efficient housekeeping staff, and excellent restaurant service for making me feel at home away from home. The management need to consider the provision of a dedicated shuttle bus service, even if at a fee, to cater for the needs of guests arriving Uyo by air to and from the Resort. Relying solely on privately run car hire service is not the best as there are other considerations. Minus this observation, Le Meridien Hotel and Ibom Gulf Resort is a not to be missed destination any time in the country. August 24, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by NAMSKI A very lovely getaway spot with family My first visit. The hotel is exquisite and has potential to excel in all ramifications. Management must however match promises with action. Incentives promised when booking on the internet were not delivered. Excuse given was that they underestimated guest influx. There should be telephone directory placed in the rooms to aid guest. Other requirements include bedroom slippers, wireless service and Gym instructor. Food and entertainment was however very lovely and of very high standard. Service by attendants very good and general attitude of staff was outstanding. Will definitely visit again. August 15, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Bell A great holiday destination Brilliant hotel tucked away in the most unusual of cities in Nigeria to find such great quality lodging. I was blown away with the sights around the hotel. The rooms are large and very comfortable. The swimming pool and gym were particularly amazing. Breakfast was a treat! An absolute must visit if you're looking for a quiet getaway. Can't say the same for work though. THe hotel has no wireless internet in the rooms (and virtually no internet as the wired internet in the room didnt work while i was there and was too expensive) making it difficult to get any work done while i was there. Dinner buffet can be much better. The chefs have some work to do here. Nevertheless...I will return soon. April 21, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 An old but still good ship I just stayed 3 nights at this hotel. When I arrived ~13:30h I was told that - the Marina Club restaurant was open - that it had burgers/BBQ Both is not true, as I had to find out when I went there. The restaurant opens at 14:30h and there are no burgers. I had some wine in my room one evening and when I came back from work the following evening there were no more wine glasses. I ordered dinner in-room and asked the waiter to please bring 2 glasses. They hadn't arrived when I checked out the following day. Overall its an ok hotel as long as you dont look too much into details. March 23, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by blackdude Ibom Golf Resort lovely and serene environment with equally good weather. Hotel is world class. September 16, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Arnobel The hotel is painstakingly awesome I've seen the advert of the hotel on television but never did i imagine the facilities and services were far beyond what was shown on tele. The location of the hotel cannot be better than where it's presently sited. A very serene environment that looks more like a combination of Caribbean and African landscape merged together. From the staff that were very courteous to the modern facilities, one can only wish the management and staff to keep up the tempo. No wonder, Le Meridien Ibom Hotel and Golf Resort had been rated the number 1 Hotel in Nigeria. May 13, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Eti09 Front Desk staff did not handle my complaint well In an attempt to manually authorize my card and error resulted in my bank putting a lien on my account for thrice the amount that should have been charged. I met the front desk staff a couple of times every day during my stay to let me meet someone that could take a decision to resolve the issue to no avail only to be practically held hostage on checking out and almost made me miss my flight. I found this treatment for embarrassing especially as an SPG member and all my earlier attempts to resolve the issue . February 22, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by BarneyRubble Maintenance issues It appears the Hotel is suffering from lack of maintenance. From the Gate to the Hotel entrance, numerous street lights were laying on the ground - partially disconnected..! Air Conditioning of Lobby and Room were noticably poor (high humidity) and require urgent attention. Also, the quality of the dinner buffet is getting worse by each stay. I have experienced a Seafood Buffet that despite all the quality materials used was as poor as this. Had the worst dry Lobster of my life...... May 27, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Karlos Breathe of fresh air away from the City Best hotel by far that I have stayed at in Nigeria in terms of location, vista and golfing facilities. However, for a hotel of its size and prestige, it needs more than one choice for lunch and dinner. Buffet is not my choice for fine dining. Although the rooms are to a good standard, some of the finishing is very poor, e.g. tiling is cracked, loose toilet seats, off centre taps, etc.... It would not take too much efforty to overcome these relatively minor issues, to bring the hotel up to "excellent". May 20, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by alik Food This Hotel has every thing you need to have a wonderful stay. but the food was horrible even the Afang soup that the city is known for was a total failure. I said to the duty manager a white average height french guy the food is very bad and all he had to say was AMEN. the breakfast was horrible the bar had no margarita until I let reason being there was no lime. A colleague of mine also complained and he said the food has slowly been deteriorating for the past 2 years. August 12, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by JohnU Meridien Ibom Resort, Uyo This hotel is well situated and built in a lush green environment. The scenery is beautiful and the facilities are world class. I think hotel is under-reported and not adequately advertised. My first impression was that it is one of the best hotels in Nigeria. However, paintwork (external) is beginning to need maintenance and the vegetation around the external walls should be trimmed more often to reduce degradation of the external walls by plants. November 24, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by Stellar1 Lovely paradise Right from the gate, i knew i was in for a memorable experience. The lush grounds, golf course, marina, beautiful rooms all make for a lovely getaway. Cant wait for the next visit, i fully intend to explore a bit more.. August 5, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Aare This hotel is customer focused The hotel has maintained a high standard over the years. The services offered by the hotel at Uyo Airport is highly commendable. I suggest the availability of the services at the airport be more feasible to a first timer at the Air port. As it is, a first time visitor may not be aware he is entitled to the assistance of Le Meridien staff at the air port at no extra cost. June 30, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by BarneyRubble A place to relax The Le Meridien Ibom has been my favorite get away in Nigeria for years and is still a great place to relax and recharge one's batteries. However, the daily Dinner Buffet gets a bit boring after a few days. The themes & dishes offered are being repeated for as long as I can remember - and I've been going there since 2007. Its quite apparent that the local kitchen brigade has some short comings. January 8, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Tamie Cooling Systaem This hotel appropriately located in a serene environment. However, the cooling system in the rooms and public areas need to be improved upon. Rooms were unusually warm making it difficult to enjoy rest in the day time. The staff are very warm, pleasant and professional. I do not hesitate to recommend it for both as a business and holiday destination . May 29, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kelo Excellent Ambience; Real Home Away from Home I travel quite frequently and have had the privilege of staying in excellent hotels around the world. I must say that I was quite impressed by the excellent standards maintained by this hotel, both in terms of decor, infrastructure and decorum of staff. The Suite compares favourably with what you can expect to see in hotels with peer rating around the world and it was quite good to be there. September 5, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ndukaoboli Great holiday destination potential With its first class facilities, your hotel is a veritable holiday destination especially for families. What a great place to spend some quiet time if one is a writer. Good place for a retreat. July 16, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kokoette Fantastic atmosphere. Serene environment. Very impressive facility with a lot of room for expansion. July 29, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Pearl79 This hotel is a good resort for quiet time. The view from the drive way into the hotel premises is really nice. The ladies at the reception were neatly/smartly dressed and smiled pleasantly. What I did not like about the room was the severe cigarette smell. The bathroom door had a patch at the lower part that looked like it was affected by water. Some of the faucets are not shinny anymore. They looked abit rusty. October 7, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Christian70 Best Business Resort The best value Le Meridien provides his guests with isn't just a beautiful landscape, excellent service and quality features but most of all, it allows business people easy & immediate access to a self-sufficient resort that would give them the serenity of a green environment combined with all business facilities to complete their tasks. January 24, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by SN023314 General Services in the Hotel. The services in the hotel has been very impressive.The A/C in room 241 during my last stay on 24-28 December,2013 was not functioning effectively despite the fact that the attention of the maintenance department was drawn. This is need for the Night Club to start functioning again to attract more people to the hotel. Keep up. Regards. January 1, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Oladele Never disappointed!!! I have visited this facility several times and each time I am more than pleased at the service I get and of course the intensity of the cleanliness of ALL you can see. The smiles work like magic and the ease of extending help is outstanding. The best part of this is you can tell its not a put-on...its the culture!!! Keep it up guys January 29, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Captain2013 Unsatisfactory Cleaning Details We came for a weekend of golf to honour a friend and fun. Excellent and professional services as always. However, I was disappointed to discover that the room balcony had not been cleaned for some time as creepy crawlies were on the floor and on the ceiling was nestled a millipede. More House Keeping Supervision may be required. November 11, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by TotalP IMPROVEMENT Always a great place to be, with the staff friendliness and lovely golf course. However, I believe there should be some improvements in the area of room décor and facilities, for instance, the TV's are old fashioned and I think the suites should have their own separate decoders installed in the rooms. April 29, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Missionary This Hotel needs consistent Total Quality Management The Hotel Management must avoid complacency associated with the notion of being the best hotel in Uyo. All best practices for consistent Total Quality Services to guests must be explored and implemented with maximum seriousness. I strongly suggest that the Hotel Management should adopt the slogan ' No end to Improvement'. February 24, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Weatherman I will definately come back here! I have travelled extensively within and outside Nigeria. In my mind, this is definately the best palce to stay if you want to get away from the world. The service is world class, the environment is inviting as it is relaxing. I plan to return back soon and recommend it especially for honey moon. November 8, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by oceanblue Review of the Hotel The location of the hotel is in a calm and relaxing place, the staff are very friendly and helpful.The facilities offered are entertaining.Lunch and dinner were not up to our expectations and not up to the standard expected from Meridien Hotel.The bar at the pool should have a wider variety. April 2, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by OK54 Great Escape It is quiet at Ibom. Each room open into a deep fully protected furnished balcony, with a view, suited for past midnight lounging. I particularly will come back again and again for the pillows, breakfast and a walk on the golf course where even champion ball toppers like me can find help. September 23, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by ifeatu2014 Great setting 3 star hotel in a very serene setting July 8, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by fatakola I was not disappointed Not only did I lodge in this hotel for two nights, I took time to walk round the complex. The environment of the hotel is fantastic. For anyone who lives in a busy city like Lagos and needs an escape to preserve sanity and life, Le Meridien Ibom Hotel is a very good choice. January 14, 2013

so yesterday morning, I went on a little walk to the top of a hill and wrote in my favorite journal (it's from Compendium — big surprise) that has a quote on each page. I don't let myself read the quotes until I write on each page — weird, but true. Anyway, this was the quote I read yesterday …
"So much has been given to me I have no time to ponder over that which has been denied."
So, who do you think said this? Your clue — a famous woman, but I think you might be surprised, as I was. Before you google it, just spend a few minutes thinking/wondering about these words.
Would you be able to say this?
If not, why not?
scenes from my weekend:
exactly what two 15-year boys should be doing on a Friday night — sleeping under the stars!
A walk along the river (at Taft's request)
Krispy Kreme is at the end of the trail (so, it's not about the walking!)
happy Monday.

The Mentalist Review: Narrowing the Listby Christine Orlando at . Comments
Has anyone else thought that the CBI may be one of the most corrupt branches of law enforcement we've ever seen on TV?
Red John has his moles within the agency. Volkner has his informants. Sometimes, it's felt like half of the staff has been working for the bad guys. Members of the CBI, including two directors, have been shot by their own people or other members of law enforcement.
I knew law enforcement was dangerous, but the CBI has taken it to a whole new level. With "The Red Barn," it was revealed that Ray Haffner is a member of Visualize. While that's not illegal, it's certainly walking the edge of unethical.
Perhaps Lisbon should consider moving on, if not for her own safety then to ensure that Rigsby never again throws her a surprise party.
If I'd ever doubted that Rigsby was an idiot, which I never have, the party with the male stripper solidified that impression. Anyone who's known Lisbon for more than a week could tell she'd hate everything about that idea. Jane knew. Cho knew. But not Rigsby.
Fortunately, three dead bodies and a Red John smiley face were probably enough to make her forget a drunken Rigsby singing karaoke.
The expression on Jane's face when he saw that symbol on the barn was almost painful. Finding that symbol meant that Red John started killing long before anyone knew of him. Long before Jane's family was killed. And Jane's using that information to narrow down his search.
Now we know that there's a link between Red John and Visualize. Now Jane knows that Red John was on that farm in 1988. Jane has narrowed a list of 2,164 people down to 408. This new information will help him whittle that down until Red John is almost within reach.
Overall, I had a few favorite moments in this episode...
First was Jane playing with the Golden Retriever. The man really should get himself a pet. Unfortunately that will probably have to wait until Red John is caught, just like everything else in his life.
Second was Grace's discussion with the priest about Visualize:

Could Grace still be struggling with her own demons since her fiance's betrayal? Does this The Mentalist quote hint that she could fall prey to Visualize? To Red John? I'd love it if Grace went undercover at Visualize to try and gain more information about their connection to Red John but is she strong enough to keep up that type of charade?
Finally, the best moment of the night was Lisbon standing outside Jane's door asking why he wouldn't let her in.
Lisbon: Are we partners or what?
Jane: Come here, partner. | permalink
Her simple question demolished Jane's resolve to keep her at arms' length.
Jane has been running his own investigation. He has his own murder board and his own Red list and it's getting smaller by the day. If Jane and Lisbon truly work together, how long will it be before they narrow it down to Red John?

ahah yes I agree, and Rosalind described RJ as being a normal size, not too muscular/fat, nor too thin if I remember correctly but then again if RJ is many people then it becomes irrelevant.
Also, they showed Red John's arm when he's sitting in a chair looking at a TV. They showed his shoulder down to his hand. The person looks more slender then CBI Ron. Of course he could have gained some weight over the years, especially since Red John likes watching TV! LOL!
ys ani you're right, he's probably a minion but indeed too insignificant to be RJ!
RIGHT! There is no way he could have missed it. He saw it. There could be something going on with CBI Ron but it's not Red John. A minion maybe and he would be low on that food chain.
I'm with black white and red all over it. There is no way CBI RON could be Red John. What would be the point? There is nothing about him that would warrant the title of Red John. It would be like waiting for a fire cracker to go off. You wait.... your excitment builds...... and then..... you lean back......squint your eyes and.........! It's CBI Ron. Nope! that doesn't play real well!
ok.. well hard to say, I 'd say he couldn't not see it because the guy doesn't hide it. weird. also why would they add him to that scene as we know everything has a meaning. but I don't know what to think..
ahah amazing! ok I'm off to watch that part about Ron, will tell you what I think.. brb
Hi mimi, Huisclothes was toying around with some thoughts about Stiles and when I read her post that scenario popped in my head. So I wrote it out for fun to see what it would look like and it turned out better then I thought!It actually could have been a great ending! I NEED MY MENTALIST FIX!
Huisclothes, I just now went back and looked at that scene in Bloodshot a few times. CBI Ron very clearly looks down at the gun and then takes off! CBI Ron did see that gun! There is no way he could not have seen it. If you follow CBI Ron's eyes they look down at the gun and then he takes off. Please look at it again and then tell me what you think!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHH 7 days to go!!!! we can do it!

PNW Vice-Chair Rick Chinn opens the meeting.
JJ Johnston
|Photos by Gary Louie
James (JJ) Johnston spoke at the October PNW Section meeting, giving a personal viewpoint on his participation in the evolution of perceptual audio coding. Some 15 AES members and 18 nonmembers attended the meeting held at Microsoft Studios in Redmond.
PNW vice-chair Rick Chinn opened the meeting in Bob Moses' absence. Rick announced the Acoustical Society Young Fellowship in acoustics and the ASA convention in Seattle in May 2011. The November PNW meeting would be John Vanderkooy, and he noted the upcoming AES convention in San Francisco.
James D. (JJ) Johnston received BSEE and MSEE degrees from Carnegie-Mellon University. He then worked for AT&T Bell Labs and its successor AT&T Labs Research, retiring (temporarily) in 2002. He also worked for Microsoft as Windows Audio Architect for 6 years. Most recently he has been working in the area of auditory perception of soundfields, ways to capture soundfield cues and represent them, and ways to expand the limited sense of realism available in standard audio playback for both captured and synthetic performances. He is currently Chief Scientist forDTS Inc. Mr. Johnston is an IEEE Fellow, an AES Fellow, a NJ Inventor of the Year, an AT&T Technical Medalist and Standards Awardee, and a co-recipient of the Donald Fink Paper Award and the 2006 James L. Flanagan Signal Processing Award from the IEEE.
The music world is now well familiar with using reduced bit rate codecs such as the MP3 (really MPEG-1 audio layer 3) and AAC (Advanced Audio Codec) after decades of using linear PCM with the compact disc. JJ gave his personal view of his pioneering work into music codecs. He jokingly called his talk a personal history of his making a test program for a computer that turned into MP3.
He reviewed the 1970's analog and digital technology he worked with while researching music codecs at AT&T. These were power hungry, big, complex, hybrids of digital and analog circuits-withlots of touchy adjustments. The addition ofanalog dividers and multipliers allowed him to adjust step sizes in the converters. Then, sub-band coders (SBC) using analog filters were developed-which worked well, showing that integer band sampling and SBCs were a practical concept, even if the analog implementation was very complex. A 56kbs "commentary" coder using such techniques (in analog hardware) worked well, proving the concepts. The Quadrature Mirror Filter (QMF) could be done digitally, but no good filters existed. JJ's early filter designs for this in 1979 are still his most cited papers.
By the early 1980s, computer power could barely do two bands of SBC, and yet the results sounded poor - an "upward spread of masking" effect, JJ learned, and his first hint of the need for perceptual coding.
In 1984, an Alliant FX minicomputer had arrived at AT&T, and now JJ had enough computer memory space - more than 32kwords! He was assigned to "break the compiler" and run it through its paces. He then developed a series of test programs to insert perceptual noise, measure perceptual entropy, and to do perceptual transform coding (PXFM). There was some pre-echo, but PXFM generally sounded much better than previous techniques.
Test material sound sources were fourvinyl LP clips, copied to audio Compact Cassette at home, then played into a 12 bit converter on a minicomputer in the lab - it took weeks to get useful amounts of material processed. The arrival of CDs made things easier.
By 1986, JJ's computer was working well and the first informal listening tests were held at AT&T. But by 1987 JJ was working on video, and his audio work was not published as AT&T balked at patenting costs. In 1988,after finally getting the patents, JJ took his concepts to the IEEE/ICASSP conference. Next to him was Karlheinz Brandenburg's paper (presented by Heinz Gerhäuser). They looked at each other's posters and realized they had the same concept. They convinced their respective bosses that they should be working together on this. This, he feels, is probably the birth of MP3.
JJ played some of the original test material, male voices singing in an African style:
JJ's group created ASPEC (Audio Spectro-Perceptual Entropy Coding) using PXFM, an OCF (Optimum Coding in the Frequency Domain) filterbank (using MDCT, Modified Discrete Cosine Transform), block switching, and other ideas. In spite of hardware interface changes stipulated late in the game, which meant ASPEC had some jitter, ASPEC still won the quality evaluation.
Oddly, however, they were told it was too complicated to implement, and rejected. Instead, 2 audio parts for MPEG-2 (layers 1 and 2) were specified. There was much acrimony between various factions. Layers 3 and 4 were proposed, but since they needed to use the filter banks of Layers 1-2, a hybrid filter bank was finally devised and called Layer 3. Oddly, the hybrid was not deemed too complicated like MDCT, even though it was. After much more intergroup battles, the standard was finally agreed to.
And what of AAC? While MP3 was finishing, researchers went on to suggest further changes regarding backward compatibility and MPEG-2 audio layers.JJ figured none of this was adequate, dropped out of the standards mess, and teamed with Anibal Ferierrato make an improved codec, PAC (Perceptual Audio Coder). When MPEG had a test, they had to allow 2 non-backwards compatible codecs including PAC. PAC won the test.
For this non-backward compatible (NBC) project, the top NBC developers were forced to work together to work on one NBC that MPEG might allow to be standardized. Most features of PAC replaced most features of ASPEC - and was renamed AAC.
After the break, a Q&A session included thoughts on codec testing material, WMA and dithering. JJ recommended higher bit rates for better quality, and lossless if you can. He has no iPod, and uses speakers to hear his CDs.

Accommodation in Weymouth is currently experiencing a bit of a renaissance. This is largely a result of the hosting of the 2012 Olympic sailing events in Weymouth and Portland which created a buzz around the town that has never previously been witnessed. This had a knock on effect which helped increase awareness of this historic town and what it has to offer to visitors from all over the world, not just the UK. Weymouth is often overlooked when it comes newspapers or travel magazines compiling their lists of the top 10 tourist destinations in the UK, but with so much history, Georgian elegance and family friendly entertainment it could be the perfect holiday destination for you and your family.
Holiday accommodation in Weymouth takes many forms and the history of the town and its subsequent development means that there is plenty of choice when it comes to self catering. Georgian apartments and town houses that rise up in the shadow of the famous esplanade draw in many a visitor to the town seeking accommodation in weymouth that is in the heart of the hustle and bustle of a typical seaside promenade; the difference being that this particular one benefits from two miles of golden, sandy beach and a real abundance of choice when it comes to eating, entertainment or simply watching the crowds mill around and enjoy some of the best and brightest weather in the UK during the summer months.
Slightly out of the centre of town and past the iconic bridge which lifts every two hours to let the boats pass by, is the old harbour district of Weymouth which attracts many a visitor with its cobbled streets, quirky independent shops and classy cafes and restaurants. Here the accommodation in weymouth comprises more of traditional fisherman's cottages mixed in with contemporary town houses and apartments. Dream Cottages manages a mixture of properties in this area and some of them are close to our own offices in Hope Square.
If you proceed out of Weymouth towards Wareham and Dorchester then you will notice a relatively new development known as Greenhill. A lot of these attractive newly built properties have been converted into holiday acccommodation and offer excellent views across the Bay and over the town itself. They also benefit from being only a few minutes walk away from the centre of town or, if you prefer to drive and explore other areas of Dorset then they are close to all the major road links offering easy access to popular tourist destinations such as Lulworth Cove, Durdle Door and Ringstead Bay.
You can see a full list of all our holiday accommodation in weymouth by following this link: Accommodation in Weymouth

As an integral interface to your customers and partners, and a strategic foundation for supporting your revenue streams, MFT and B2B connections are vital to the success of your business. But in many cases, gaining control over file-transfer chaos is like herding cats – it's nearly impossible.
A wide variety of MFT patterns and use cases handled through a combination of point-to-point processes, vanilla FTP sites, cobbled-together quick fixes, and expensive legacy mechanisms such as leased lines, frame relay connections, and modem pools has created virtual anarchy for many enterprises, especially as the volume of data and the number of partners and processes grows, and standards continue to evolve. In addition, emerging interaction patterns such as human-to-human and human-to-system are compounding complexity with requirements for new systems, management, and governance.
Disjointed connections not only place strain on your infrastructure, your budget, and your staff, but they also open up security holes that put data at risk and undermine compliance with government and industry regulations. And because they are hard to manage, they can't adequately support your business process requirements or give you the visibility you need to track communications and transactions and quickly address issues when they arise.
The time to move from the reactive projects that have fueled the chaos to a strategic approach is now. Axway B2B gateways bring order to chaos with the industry's most comprehensive enterprise MFT solutions. They enable you to create manageable, secure, and auditable two-way communications channels over the Internet and private IP networks — with anyone you do business with.
