Rated 3.6 out of 5 by 61 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by BillRMD SHORT BUT EXCELLENT STAY Stellar location and excellent facilities are hallmarks of this seaside/beachfront resort. We were delighted with Platinum upgrade to overwater bungalow, and late checkout accommodation. Snorkeling in the immediate area was lovely. The Friday night Polynesian show was excellent. Buffet breakfast was grand, fresh and varied, the setting beautiful. and we were very pleased with the "continental" Platinum offering. Checkin was busy, but staff were friendly, professional and welcoming. Of the many Meridien employees we encountered, ALL of whom were clearly customer-service oriented, we wish to highlight two in particular: Miwana in the buffet restaurant, who was efficient, kind and clearly happy to provide service (we so looked forward to seeing her again on our second morning!); and Aimata at the front desk, among the most professional and engaging "front of house" employees we have ever encountered during nearly 1000 SPG nights around the world over many years! We look forward to our return. Merci bien pour un sejour tout a fait agreable ... nous reviendrons!! May 4, 2015
Rated 1 out of 5 by seaneka7 Hopefully never again A loyal SPG member with platinum status now, i have not had worse service than this hotel ever. At check in I had to drag my bag in, take it to my room, no offer of help, cold reception staff, very disappointed. The room was an upgrade which was ok, to find a plug point is difficult, they are all located in difficult to reach areas. Nothing near the desk, had to boil the kettle on the floor! I have stayed at other hotels in Papeete and have had excellent service. Lift your game guys. April 5, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Moanarii An unexpected getaway with my son On the last minute my son and I decided to spend a smooth hassle free weekend at a hotel, any hotel. We tried many but most of them had no vacancies. We finally found one downtown for Saturday evening. It was great but we wanted to experience something different. On Sunday morning though they previously told us they had nothing available for the whole weekend we were lucky enough to find a room at the Meridien hotel. The young lady at the front desk was very diligent. She gave us a room but we were quite surprised to find that the room was not ready yet. i went back to the front desk and the same lady welcomed me and did all her best to find me another room. There must have been a mix up or glitch on the system. I can surely understand that people make mistake but more importantly for me is to see how they handle it, and I must say this young lady handed it very well, she kept calm and kept calling away to help my son and I get another room right away. She was amazing. We just want to give her our best regards and two thumbs up to the Meridien Tahiti. Mauruuru. March 31, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by Tropical4Ever Best place in Tahiti If you are doing a multi-island visit in the French Polynesia, it is difficult to not have a stopover in Tahiti, so why not spend a few nights. My husband and I stayed three nights. Checkin/out was prompt and as expected. Room was clean, comfy and the sunsets from our balcony were simply amazing, we could also see the island of Moorea (we were heading there next). We arranged with the front desk a full island heli tour and they were happy to accommodate. I would not stay longer as I prefer the smaller islands such as Moorea and Bora Bora. March 2, 2015
Rated 1 out of 5 by Julio Horrible hotel stay in Papeete Wifi charged to Starwood Preferred. Food served with a piece of hair on it and the manager did not bother to apologize. During breafast I requested chesse and I was told that during that time only "Parisian Breakfast" was offered and it did not include cheese. December 30, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by BL99 Quick Stay for a few days in transit The setting of the property is fantastic but it needs updating. The rooms and some of the furnishings around the property are worn out (pool chairs and cushions). The staff particularly in the restaurant were fantastic: Moana, Tehina, and Ralph (really professional and delightful!). I would recommend this property for a short stay but not a prolonged vacation. We did not stay in an overwater bungalow but noticed they do not have direct water access. December 8, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by armyd Disappointment Checked in to non SPG room, changed next day. Booked via travel agent so received worst room, right beside bar and under wedding reception facility. Stayed 4 nights, three with loud music, on the Sat night music went till after 2am. When i rang up to ask when it would finish i wass told its a wedding. What hotel would book a weddng to 2am with loud music. On the friday afternoon went to pool for quiet relax only to find a kids birthday party in full swing, what about your guests. September 26, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by SEGALandCIGARS Very Rustic beauty If you want peace & quiet & tranquility, this place has it. Small quiet resort; old fashioned beauty. Lovely ponds and birds abound. The must stay option here, is the over-water bungalows to FULLY enjoy the resort. The water I promise you is like walking above an aquarium! No need for snorkeling. For our four nights here, the walk over water to our over-water bungalow made the whole stay here worth while. Did we have some problems? Yup! Did the hotel help? Nope! -It's European type of customer service withe the French twist: "We are sorry you are not happy"(but we will not do anything to fix it nor will we compensate you for your troubles and stop bothering us!) - I ended up talking to the General Mgr: same story-"oh I'm sorry"! -It's very hot here in September. The Air Conditioning in the bungalows do not cool it down more than opening the windows.(mgrs. response, "next year we are renovating!") --I came here for my honeymoon and we were too hot at night to even sleep next to each other! -- -HAPPY HONEYMOON! It was well over 30C(85F). -Did you want the concierge to arrange some special outing for you? Forget about it! Just the reception desk??? Really? -You wanna call the operator to direct your call, NOPE AGAIN, only reception desk & when they are busy, you go on hold..... -Very very limited food selections! This is a resort that really locks you in because a taxi to the city is like $25-$35 each way! But the food choices are so few. after a couple of days, you get super bored! There are a few good restaurants that are closer by for $15-$20 one way taxi rides when one gets desperate. -DO NOT EXPECT THE POOL BOY TO HELP YOU? What? You bring him your coupon for a towel and he'll hand you a towel and maybe a cushion if you ask, but he will not assist you with one of the 14 chairs? He sits there with nothing to do, but won't help the few people sitting by the pool? Weird terrible customer service. -BIG PLUS- Free ice & local filtered water will be served to you at the pool bar. ( no one comes to you!- not that type of resort!) -WALKING to the bungalows at night: Bring a torch(flashlight) it's very dark! --- FREE ICE DELIVERY 2 your room!, but alas they don't have standard run of the mill insulated ice buckets with lids to keep ice cool. It comes in an open metal champagne bucket so the ice is gone in 20 mins! Really guys??? ---do you like heavy duvets (comforters) in the heat of the summer? - Then U R in luck here. why? I asked, "I'm sorry"... ------Welcome to Paradise confused! Other than the few screaming kids, this place is Paradise.... (If C/S & A/C is not necessary) ps: the sunsets are the most beautiful we've ever seen(better than Moorea too). Good luck! Much cheaper than Bora Bora & Moorea, now I know why! September 24, 2014

Press Release:
WonderCon Guest List Continues to Grow
Southern California comics convention attracts wide array of talented guests
Anaheim, CA – WonderCon, part of Comic-Con International's (CCI) family of nonprofit comics conventions, today announced another talented group of special guests, adding to its already impressive line-up. The newly announced guests include award-winning writers and artists from the world of comics as well as screenwriters and novelists. Fan favorite and DC Comics co-publisher Jim Lee appears on the list of additions, as well as award-winning comics scribes Mark Waid (Kingdom Come, Irredeemable, Daredevil) and Marv Wolfman (New Teen Titans, Tomb of Dracula).
Attracting 49,000 people in 2011, WonderCon has been an annual event in the San Francisco Bay Area since 1987. Because of renovations at its usual venue, WonderCon will relocate to Southern California for 2012. The three-day celebration of comics and popular art forms will be held in the spacious Anaheim Convention Center March 16-18, 2012, allowing many Southern California fans who might otherwise not make the trip to San Francisco to experience the wildly popular show.
Among the other recently added special guests are Arthur Adams (artist, Monkeyman and O'Brian, Ultimate Comics: X), Ernest Cline (author/screenwriter, Fanboys, Ready Player One), Joe Hill (author, Locke and Key, Heart-Shaped Box), Richard Kadrey (author, Sandman Slim, Kill the Dead), and Richard Starkings (writer/letterer/designer, Elephantmen). For a complete list of special guests and bios, visit http://www.comic-con.org/wc/
Because WonderCon is produced by the same organization that hold the annual Comic-Con in San Diego and because of its similar format—sprawling exhibit floor, numerous educational panels, exciting Hollywood appearances, and an extraordinary slate of special guests—some fans are calling the new version of WonderCon "Anaheim Comic-Con."
"We are hoping Southern California fans will embrace WonderCon for 2012," said David Glanzer, director of marketing and public relations for parent company Comic-Con International. "And by all indications that may be the case, as online registration opened only a few days ago to an unprecedented start!" Badges for the popular convention went on sale last week and are available for purchase at http://www.comic-con.org/wc/
About WonderCon:
WonderCon, one of the country's best comics and popular arts conventions, is part of Comic-Con International (CCI), a nonprofit educational organization dedicated to creating awareness of, and appreciation for, comics and related popular art forms. The organization achieves its mission primarily through the presentation of conventions and events that celebrate the historic and ongoing contribution of comics to art and culture. In addition to WonderCon in Anaheim this spring, CCI organizes San Diego Comic-Con each summer (the world's largest comics convention of its kind) and San Francisco's Alternative Press Expo (APE) each fall.

Think the flame retardant Tris is a thing of the past? Think again. Last week the Washington Toxics Coalition and Safer States released a study that found 80% of new baby and children's products tested positive for chlorinated Tris (TDCPP), a chemical voluntarily removed from children's pajamas in the 1970s because it was found to cause cancer.
The Hidden Hazards In the Nursery study tested 20 productsincluding nursing pillows, changing pads, bassinet pads and car seatsfor traces of Tris and other toxic chemical flame retardants called polybrominated diphenyl ether compounds, or PBDEs.
The findings echo those of a 2011 UC Berkeley study authored by Arlene Blum, a Healthy Child Healthy World Advisory Board member, which found that 36% of 101 baby products tested positive for Tris.
According to the Berkeley study, Americans have 20 times higher blood levels of PBDEs than in Europe; these chemicals are linked to cancer, thyroid disruption, lower testosterone in men, neurological disorders in children and reduced fertility in women.
What can you do to protect your family? The Washington Toxics Coalition has some great tips:
Meanwhile, Washington State is considering the Toxic-Free Kids Act which would ban the use of Tris in children's products beginning in 2014; the act will also circumvent manufacturers simply replacing one toxic flame retardant with another by requiring makers of children's products to conduct thorough health and safety assessment of potential alternatives.
This important legislation is part of a growing movement as states seek to address deficiencies in the 35-year old Toxic Substances Control Act. Obviously, these are issues that are important to voters. I only hope that lawmakers will take notice as The Safe Chemicals Act of 2011 approaches its Senate hearing this spring.
Flame retardants in baby products? This is a problem that needs to flame out.

Hootenanny, The Wow Signal to Meet in France
Royal Ascot winners Hootenanny and The Wow Signal are set to face off in a field of nine 2-year-olds set for the Darley Prix Morny (Fr-I) Aug. 24 at Deauville.
Hootenanny's United States-based trainer Wesley Ward will try to win the race for the second straight year following No Nay Never last season.
A Kentucky-bred by Quality Road campaigned by Coolmore and partners, Hootenanny won his stakes debut in Royal Ascot's Windsor Castle June 17, scoring by 3 1/2 lengths in :59 flat for five furlongs on turf. The triumph followed his well-beaten third behind Governmentshutdown in the Rollicking Stakes a month earlier going the same distance at Pimlico Race Course.
"I think mine is a pretty quality colt, but we went for the Windsor Castle stakes because he was beaten in his previous run on the dirt," Ward told England's Press Association. "I was disappointed with him that day because I think so highly of him.
"But when he won at Ascot in a time that I believe was almost as fast as the older horses (in the King's Stand Stakes, Eng-I), I was kind of kicking myself as he was taking home a listed race and The Wow Signal was winning a group II (Coventry Stakes, also June 17)."
Following his debut win by nine lengths at Ayr, The Wow Signal captured the Coventry by 1 1/2 lengths after leading or dueling for the lead throughout the six-furlong test. He was pointed for the Aug. 10 Keeneland Phoenix Stakes (Ire-I) at the Curragh but bypassed the race because a slight cough and unsatisfactory blood work.
"He's back firing on all cylinders now and we're hopeful that he'll run a big race," said John Quinn, who trains the son of Starspangledbanner for Al Shaqab Racing.
The Aga Khan's Ervedya will try for her fourth win from as many career starts. The daughter of Siyouni won the Prix de Cabourg (Fr-III) by two lengths at the Prix Morny distance earlier this month at Deauville.
Winner of the Prix du Bois (Fr-II) June 30 at Chantilly, Guy Pariente's Goken, a son of Kendargent, was fourth behind winner Kool Kompany, beaten 1 1/2 lengths, when stepping up in the Prix Robert Papin (Fr-II) July 20 at Longchamp last time out.

Department of Management Academic Policies for Undergraduate Courses Information for Students 1. Introduction This document provides information for students on the standard academic policies for all undergraduate courses taught by the Department of Management. Any variation from these policies will be explicitly stated in the course outlines. This document supplements the University Calendar, which provides the definitive regulations for the University. 2. Course Grades 2.1 Interpretation of Grades A student's grade for a course will depend on the combination of marks over all pieces of assessment. The following table provides an interpretation of grades. A+, A, A- These grades are awarded for outstanding work. Some criteria which may be taken into account: originality, quality of organisation, appropriateness of readings, clarity of argument, indication of the range of perspectives, correctness of computation, match of presentation and data, high level of analysis, all important elements are included. B+, B, B- These grades represent a good quality of work. Some criteria: a clear organisation of information, following a standard format for the discipline area, an indication of knowledge of the literature, reasonable level of knowledge of specific computer software, adequate presentation of data, most important elements are included. C+, C These grades indicate a minimum standard such as: understanding of both the context and techniques of an area of knowledge, limited view of different perspectives, cursory knowledge of computer software, superficial organisation, sufficient presentation standard, only essential elements are included. C- The work met the minimum standards for the course but failed to show a sufficient level understanding for the material to be used as a basis for further study. This grade is a restricted pass which means that the course cannot be used as a prerequisite. This grade is not applicable for 300-level courses. D, E The student failed to meet the minimum requirements of the course. 2.2 Marks to Grades Conversion To ensure the assessment marks are combined in a consistent and fair manner, the marks for individual assessments may be standardised in some courses. The standardised mark for a piece of assessment will depend on the following factors: 1. The original mark 2. The mean and spread of marks for the class. 3. The relative position of the original mark in the class. Details of how the standardised mark is calculated are described in a separate document 'Department of Management: Standardising Assignment, Test and Exam Marks' which is available on the web under: http://www.mang.canterbury.ac.nz/courseinfo/standardmark.doc To determine the course grade from the combined mark, a lecturer evaluates the standard that has been met by the student. To ensure consistency, grade cut-off points are used. The table below is provided as a guideline to students; however, the actual cut-off points can vary from course to course. 85 – 100 A+ 55 – 59.9 C+ 80 – 84.9 A 51 – 54.9 C 75 – 79.9 A− 50 – 50.9 C− (Restricted pass*) 70 – 74.9 B+ 40 – 49.9 D (Fail) 65 – 69.9 B 0 – 39.9 E (Fail) 60 – 64.9 B− * The C− grade is not applicable for 300-level courses. Some 100- and 200-level courses also do not use it. 2.3 Final Grades Any grades given by lecturers ARE NOT OFFICIAL. Registry will mail the grades for all courses to individual students. A list of marks for term tests and assignments, using student ID numbers, will be posted on departmental bulletin boards. Please ensure that the marks on your scripts are the same as those posted. 2 3. Requirements for Assessment 3.1 Policy on Late Assignments Assignments are due on the date stated. Department policy is not to allow extensions. Where the policy for specific course differs, the course outline will provide information. A heavy workload is not considered grounds for an extension. 3.2 Dishonest Practice The University of Canterbury considers cheating and plagiarism to be serious acts of dishonesty. All assessed work must be your own individual work unless specifically stated otherwise in the assessment guidelines. Material quoted from any other source must be clearly acknowledged. You must not copy the work of another person (student or published work) without acknowledgment in any assessment including examinations, tests and assignments. Any person who is found to have copied someone else's work, or to have allowed their work to be copied, will receive a fail grade for that piece of assessment and may face disciplinary action which may lead to a fine, community service or exclusion from the university. 4. Aegrotat Consideration For information regarding late submissions and extensions, see section 3.1. 4.1 Aegrotats If factors beyond your control (such as illness or family bereavement) prevent you from completing some item of course work or severely impair your performance, then you may be eligible for aegrotat consideration. This does not apply to all assessments in all courses, so check the course outline or talk to the lecturer for any specific exclusions. Aegrotat procedures are documented in Section H of the General Course and Examination Regulations in the University Calendar. Applications must be made within seven days of the test date or the assignment due date. Supporting evidence, such as a medical certificate, is required. If in doubt, talk to one of your lecturers. Normally the Department does not provide special assessment in terms of Aegrotat Regulation 6. 3 5. Reconsideration of Grades For information on reconsideration of grades in major tests or other major work, see section F of the General Course and Examination Regulations in the University Calendar. For information on reconsideration of a final grade, see section C of the General Course and Examination Regulations in the University Calendar. 6. Provisions for Students with Disabilities The department will, wherever possible, make appropriate arrangements for students with disabilities. Students with disabilities should see the Course Coordinator as early as possible. Students with disabilities should consult with the Disabilities coordinator for guidance and assistance. 7. Workload The Department follows the Faculty of Commerce work-load guidelines. The total workload for an average student, for background reading, lectures, tutorials, assignments and revision, is normally expected to be 10 hours per point over the duration of the course. The average workload per week for a course will also depend on the period the course is taught over. For a full-year course, this equates to 1 hour per week for every 3 points. Double this for a course taught over one semester. The table below provides examples: Course Single semester course Whole year course 11 points 7 hours per week 3.5 hours per week 14 points 9 hours per week 4.5 hours per week 15 points 10 hours per week 5 hours per week 18 points 12 hours per week 6 hours per week 22 points 15 hours per week 7 hours per week 28 points 19 hours per week 9 hours per week 30 points 20 hours per week 10 hours per week Summer school courses are taught over a very short period. For most courses, doubling the single semester workload provides an adequate estimate of the workload. 8. Return of Tests and Assignments It is the normal practice of the department to return test scripts and assignments by handing them out in tutorials. If any student objects to their scripts' being returned in this way, they should indicate to us this objection, in writing, and their scripts will be returned separately by the departmental secretary. 4 9. Access to Past Papers Copies of past final exam papers will normally be accessible from the library web pages. 10. General Appeals Concerns about the course should first be directed to the lecturers or course coordinator. However, the Head of the Department may be approached, if the issue is not resolved. If you are concerned about anonymity, the Class Representative or the Students' Association can be used to voice your concerns. Last updated 2 Feb 2009 5

Joan Allen talks about 'The Upside of Anger' and 'Off the Map'
...her two films hitting theaters this week
Kevin Costner, Joan Allen, Erika Christensen, Evan Rachel Wood, Keri Russell and Alicia Witt headline a stellar ensemble cast in the critically acclaimed Sundance festival hit The Upside of Anger. Allen stars as the sharp-witted Terry Wolfmeyer, a suburban wife and mother who is left to raise her four headstrong daughters when her husband unexpectedly disappears. Things get even more hectic when Terry falls for her neighbor Denny (Costner), a once-great baseball star turned radio DJ, and her daughters are forced to juggle their mom's romantic dilemmas as well as their own.
