Has anyone read this? I'm a bit speechless. I don't get why we value our girls so much less the our boys. Do our girls not deserve equal pay? #2Posted 04 January 2013 - 09:42 AM
Everyone deserves equal pay. Gender shouldn't come into it at all. It's ridiculous.
#3Posted 04 January 2013 - 09:43 AM
One thing the article didn't mention, which I wondered about, was whether men and women tended to apply for the same jobs at the same rate. Do women pitch at slightly lower paid jobs, which they think they can get as new graduates, where men pitch at jobs which would be better paid but perceived as harder to get?
#4Posted 04 January 2013 - 09:44 AM
I will read it, but I'm scared to. I've been feeling so downtrodden lately reading more and more things that seem to be against equality. It's so disheartening and it's making my mood down in the dumps. Why does everything seem to be against us? Why is what we have between our legs so dividing? How, in this day and age are people still seeing us as 2nd best? Why is it not only men, but other women also that are holding us back? Why do people think the feminist's fight was won years ago and there's nothing left to fix?
I was going to start a rant about what I've been feeling lately, but I thought I'd use this thread lol. Off to read the link and get more depressed at what the future holds for my daughter. #5Posted 04 January 2013 - 09:51 AM QUOTE (Ange Vert @ 04/01/2013, 10:43 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> One thing the article didn't mention, which I wondered about, was whether men and women tended to apply for the same jobs at the same rate.

I think there is probably something in this, in addition to the usual problems of "boys club" industries like Architecture and Law, and the undervaluing of women's abilities in general. I too despair for my daughter on days like these. #6Posted 04 January 2013 - 10:01 AM
I despair for my daughter too. She is reason for us being here, to afford her with better opportunities in a fairer world. Okay, we're not India (God knows their girls deserve so much more) and we're not South Africa or so many other places, but reading that the gap in widening not shrinking screams slippery slope and it's very disheartening.
Ange Vert, this article is US based but it goes a long way to debunking the ambition myth: http://www.theatlantic.com/business/archiv...age-gap/265744/ #7Posted 04 January 2013 - 10:01 AM
I have read this and am not surprised.
Girls/women are notoriously bad at selling their abilities and taking a hard line on salary negotiation. These abilities do not come naturally to women. We need to teach our girls the confidence to negotiate hard and objectively. We need to instill in them the confidenfe to believe that their contribution is worthy. I recently took a redundancy but was paid better than the other females in my group. Most of my female friends are paid poorly. They seem to see asking for a pay raise as a persoal thing and dont want to upset the apple cart. Ladies, you need to promote and sell your worthwhile skills/attributes and get the best price for your contribution. It is no different to selling your house/car etc #8Posted 04 January 2013 - 10:12 AM
I am with beancat on this.
I always kept my mouth shut when salary discussions came up at work.... I knew I was earning more then my senior (male) but did not want to rock any boats as I was offically a junior (had come in from different area). I always went for jobs which were outside my comfort zone and talked up my skills. I was earning more then the males. #9Posted 04 January 2013 - 10:42 AM
It will interesting to see how all this goes in the future. More women are undertaking higher education than men these days and are more likely to succeed in their studies. This will have to affect the gender inequality of pay rates, surely.

More women have been doing HE for decades now. There are more women in the workforce than ever before and yet there it is - widening. #11Posted 04 January 2013 - 11:01 AM QUOTE (Ange Vert @ 04/01/2013, 09:43 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> One thing the article didn't mention, which I wondered about, was whether men and women tended to apply for the same jobs at the same rate. Do women pitch at slightly lower paid jobs, which they think they can get as new graduates, where men pitch at jobs which would be better paid but perceived as harder to get? I think this is spot on. Actually, the whole 'gender pay inequality' thing annoys me a bit. More women opt to work in teaching and nursing, more men in engineering and IT for example. Teaching and nursing don't pay as much nor is there scope for promotion and pay increase as in engineering and IT. Women can feel free to do a degree in engineering but they don't. My husband is a civil engineer. They started with ONE female in his first year but she changed degrees. By term 2 first year there were about 250 males, 0 females. I wonder what the ratio is for a nursing degree or teaching for that matter? My friends husband works at the mines. He's on 180k a year. He doesn't work with any females. To be honest I'd rather work on a reception desk for $22 an hour than work at the mines for $180k. That's my decision, no is forcing that decision on me. If I want to get tickets to operate heavy machinery then it's my prerogative. No one is stopping me. It's not inequality if females choose to take on more of the lower paying roles in society which averages out to lower pay for women across the board. In fact, I left my previous industry and am currently doing a degree, which after graduation, will earn me less money than I did before!! If more females take on lower paying nurturing roles such as nursing, teaching, aged care, child care etc then perhaps the sexes really are not the same in that respect. It certainly doesn't mean they are valued less in society like has been said in PP. In fact, they are probably valued more!! The only way I can see there being gender inequality is if a male and female apply for the SAME position, and one gets paid more than the other or one gets the job and the other doesn't based entirely on gender. That IS gender inequality. You can't make a blanket statement though and talk about the massive pay gap between men and women when women are not working in the higher paid industries by choice. #12Posted 04 January 2013 - 11:08 AM
Ah, Bek, I think that is the point. Men and women in the same or comparable positions, in the same industry, are showing this gap.
Anecdotally I've experienced this. When I worked as a cubicle dweller, the guy in the next cubicle and I had the same job, just working with different clients. He was offered a contract with a bigger number in it than I was (and I had a degree and he didn't!) #13Posted 04 January 2013 - 11:12 AM
I earn more than most of the men in the same position as me. Mostly because I'm a full time Government employee and they are on contract.
I don't think that article is a true reflection of women vs men pay. Like PP's have said there are various other factors that may not have been taken into consideration like the fact that women will go for flexibility over income or may not step outside their comfort zone to go for a better paying job as they consider themselves not good enough or not qualified enough. I understand that, it's scary. But factors like the ones mentioned in here today would change those figures i'm sure. #14Posted 04 January 2013 - 11:14 AM
The gender gap is with graduates in the exact same profession Bec+3.

But why are fields that are predominantly female fields lower paid? Why is nursing and teaching paid less than predominantly male fields?

Becuase the people who represent those professionals are usually women and women need to harden up when it comes to negotiation and putting themselves forward for challenging roles! I am sorry but its true. I have been in senior management for years and you should see the difference in negotiation when it comes to offering a man or female a position. Also, these roles are often seen as predominatly using soft/maternal skills. These skills for some reason are not hightly valued by either the participants in the sector or the general public (which I don't agree with). There is also a "martyr" type culture in these professions, ie "I don't get paid enough, but who is going to help these people if I don't" I have mentored many junior women/grads who think if they just sit back and wait and be a nice team member and work hard the opportunities will come.....well they don't #18Posted 04 January 2013 - 12:01 PM

I think Beancat's answer was a good one. #20Posted 04 January 2013 - 12:04 PM
This is why pay should always be stated in job advertisements. Maybe later people can bargain, but it shouldn't be a case of "Oh, a woman got the job, now it is 50000 instead of 55000".
#21Posted 04 January 2013 - 12:09 PM
The article lists a table of 10 professions where men make more... but then also says:
Women graduates earned more in seven occupations, including pharmacy, earth and computer sciences. But then goes on to focus only on women making less. Don't get me wrong, I agree that if 2 people are going for a job then the pay offerred should be the same regardless of their gender! But I think there is a lot more to the story and agree with PP, and the above info, that while this may be the case in some industries the reverse can be said for other industries where men make more. As an aside.... I have a male friend who wanted to be a nurse and was studying to do so in the late 70's-early 80's and he got fantastic feedback from all medical staff, patients he worked with and top grades. When training was over he was NOT offerred a positon at the hospital. The head Matron (it was pretty much up to her) didn't like men in her field and didn't like him because while he was training he went about making sure there was staff up to that point) and he was in the union.... so she just cited "bad feedback") as her reasoning and everyone accepted it depsite all the written evidence to the contrary. Out of the 9 male trainees, 1 got a place. ALL of the females got a place. My friend did not become a nurse and is now a therapist instead. I cannot imagine that the company I work for would pay based on gender. They usually know what they will be paying for the POSITION before they advertise for it. The only thing that would change it is the persons experience and skills! #22Posted 04 January 2013 - 12:10 PM
I agree that it's probably something to do with negotiating skills.
I am TERRIBLE at negotiating. It's something I hate with a passion. I am good at what I do, but I've never once asked for a pay rise. As a result, I've been offered one payrise in my working life. I've also always just rolled over and accepted whatever pathetic salary I've been offered, as I figure that "oh well, at least it's a job, and they want me!" My husband, on the other hand, is a tough guy negotiator. He recently got a job with poor pay - he demanded and got a big payrise and better conditions. He can't understand why I undervalue my skills so much. It's very depressing when I, who has a university degree and a diploma, am earning less than guys with zero experience and no qualifications. If I wanted to go out, put on a hi-vis jacket and safety boots and work out on a roading crew all day holding a Stop/Go sign I'd be paid more than what I earn now. #23Posted 04 January 2013 - 12:14 PM
PS.... agree with Beancat too. When I moved jobs internally a male was hired to do my previous job and was immediately on more money then me. When I found out I screamed at my boss for a good 1/2 an hour Not only that but this new guy wasn't doing ALL of my job - I still did some of it!! My pay was adjusted but I had to wait for actual pay review time a month or so later. I was very very mad. And even more annoyed that it took replacing me for him to learn my value! Thankfully now that is not the case and I'm also on a proper performance review system now - in which if you want a pay rise each year you set goals then rate yourself on them and you have to talk yourself up to get what you deserve. Last year I got the biggest increase of all our salaried staff they told me
Gotta fight for your rights! #24Posted 04 January 2013 - 12:24 PM
The graduates that start at the law firm where DH is a partner are paid the same, whether they are male or female. Negotiation doesn't really come into then, but probably would after a few years.
#25Posted 04 January 2013 - 12:31 PM
The article was poorly presented, but I still agree with those who've said it's negotiating skills. I'm terrible at it as well and completely fold when it comes time to talk salary, almost as though I should be grateful I'm getting paid at all. In a culture that is still patriarchal, I think women generally need to stand a bit louder and prouder; however, I guess it's hard to move on from millennia of subservient conditioning?

Claims of Chinese military cyber attacks on US companies
A secretive unit within the Chinese military has been accused of mounting large-scale cyber attacks on American companies. People's Liberation Army unit 61398 is said to be based in a drab-looking Shanghai tower block from where it collects company secrets using high-tech hacking methods. The allegations, contained in a report by a private United States cyber security firm, have been denied by the Chinese government but are creating considerable tension between Washington and Beijing.

TIM PALMER: A secretive unit within the Chinese military has been accused of mounting large-scale cyber attacks on American companies. People's Liberation Army unit 61398 is said to be based in a drab-looking Shanghai tower block from where it collects company secrets using high-tech hacking methods.
The allegations, denied by the Chinese government, are creating considerable tension between Washington and Beijing.
China correspondent Stephen McDonell reports.
STEPHEN MCDONELL: In a pretty ordinary corner of Shanghai's Pudong district stands a rather drab-looking 12-storey building. The area is peppered with the usual bustling traffic whizzing past roadside restaurants. The location would seem anything but threatening. Yet, according to a United States cyber hacking firm, this building is home to People's Liberation Army unit 61398.
Mandiant specialises in helping American companies that have been victims of cyber attack and it says it has now traced the source of web-driven cyber espionage strikes on more than 140 companies to this unit within the Chinese military. The firm has just published a report claiming that attacks from this unit have mainly been designed to collect company secrets like the details of a potential takeover.
The Obama administration has expressed considerable concern following the findings of this report.
Victoria Nuland is spokesperson for the US state department.
VICTORIA NULAND: The president spoke about this very directly in his State of the Union address. We are working in interagency way, led by the White House, to strengthen the defence of US government networks and to protect our critical infrastructure such as the issuance of the president's new executive order.
STEPHEN MCDONELL: The US government says it's now arming American companies with better weapons to defend against industrial espionage emanating from China. According to White House spokesman Jay Carney, it's also complaining to Beijing.
JAY CARNEY: We have repeatedly raised our concerns at the highest levels about cyber theft with senior Chinese officials, including in the military and we will continue to do so. This is a very important challenge, it is one the president has been working on and urging Congress to take action on for quite some time and he'll continue to do that.
STEPHEN MCDONELL: But the Chinese military is denying the allegations. The People's Liberation Army says there is no widespread cyber espionage campaign coming out of unit 61398. The foreign ministry here in the Chinese capital has also countered that the United States remains the largest source of international hacking.
Foreign ministry spokesman Hong Lei told reporters that China is also a victim in this.
HONG LEI (translation): Internet hacking attacks are an international problem that should be resolved on the basis of mutual respect and cooperation. Continuous criticism based on basic data is irresponsible, unprofessional, and not helpful in resolving the issue.
STEPHEN MCDONELL: Australian intelligence agencies have also been warning companies of late to take greater care to guard against hacking. It seems cyber spying allegations are becoming an increasing source of tension between China and the West.
This is Stephen McDonell in Beijing for PM.

I've played video games ever since I can remember. My fondest memories are playing Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time on the SNES with my brother, but that's all negligible stuff next to my love for music. If it's music, chances are I find some way to love it, and I take in anything I can. I play multiple instruments, and I guarantee you I have better music taste than anyone you know. Oh, and I'm also pretty opinionated.

What's the big deal?
on 06.01.2012
I see it more and more lately. Pre-order bonuses will be announced and there are people, and generally not even a lot of them, that go from highly anticipating a game as a day one purchase to saying they will now wait until a later date or just not purchase the game at all; presumably because of the pre-order bonuses. Frankly, I just don't quite understand the attitude behind this.
As a "protest" (more like a temper tantrum in my opinion) it's ineffectual because they have no way of knowing that you dislike the idea of pre-order bonuses being store exclusive, or even pre-order bonuses at all. All they see is less purchasing. Granted one could say they see less "day one purchases" and equate that somehow to pre-order bonuses being the reason but I have a strong feeling they just take that as "well people don't want to pay as much" and that's when games just get reduced in price. Halo 4 pre-order bonuses were announced, and they are armor patterns and badge designs. Two completely unnecessary items that only marginally affect your gameplay experience, and that is assuming you actually care about customization that much, yet people bash the game and its publisher/developer for it like they are going to end the world on launch day with their pre-order bonuses.
Is this just typical "gamer hedonism", and by that I mean you have be complaining about SOMETHING or you just aren't gamer enough or do people honestly think that posting a comment on these announcements about how they disapprove of the pre-order bonuses is really going to make in impact?
Difficulty and Me (I?)
on 01.03.2012
Like a lot of people, I play games to enjoy myself. I typically do not partake in actions or activities that I do not enjoy because that's the sure sign of a miserable life. If I can avoid making myself miserable, I do so in the fastest way possible. With that said, games are not always the most relaxing or pleasurable things in the world. Whether it is having to deal with incompetence in an online game where teamwork is key to victory or a game is just downright frustrating due to intentional or unintentional spikes in difficult from various contributing factors, gaming can be downright infuriating. To weigh my thoughts in on this I'm going to bring in a few examples of games I find hard, games I don't find hard, and then why I enjoy and/or do not enjoy that given game.
To begin with, we have a notoriously difficult game for most people, Demon's Souls/Dark Souls. This game has such a stigma about it's difficulty that it became a marketing campaign for Dark Souls with the tagline "Prepare to Die", and die you will. This game is brutally difficult, but only to a point. The game and it's difficulty are very symbiotic in that it typically isn't the games fault for being difficult, it is the players. It's entirely possible to get through this massive game in the span of a few hour and no deaths if you know what you are doing and how to defeat enemies. Your first time through the game is going to be littered with deaths, but in my experience, none of them pissed me off. I had plenty of opportunity to realize what mistake I made, realize it was actually my mistake, and then be able to fix it. This is either accomplished by myself, or by using the knowledge of the incredible community this game has fostered. Personally, for this reason I never felt the game was too extreme, and I never felt that I "raged" about dying as I have in other games because the reasons and solutions were so easily accessible to me. For this reason, the supposed difficulty is one that makes the game challenging and enjoyable, it is so wholly a part of the game that the game would be itself without it.
Now we get to Super Meat Boy, another notoriously difficult game, albeit a different monster completely. A very simplistic platformer built as an homage to everything that made classic gaming what it was. Simple, constant design and purely gameplay driven. There are no whistles in this game, maybe a few bells, but you're a wad of meat...that jumps. In my eyes this simplicity is what makes this game so maddening. There are no "other ways" around a certain thing you can't seem to do, or often times what seems like the game just isn't letting you do. You jump, that's it, and a lot of times there's only one way to jump to progress. If you mess up, you have to start the level over again. Giving the game the benefit of fairly short levels is it's only saving grace in my opinion. In a game like Dark Souls I was able to out-think my problems. If my approach didn't work, I'd try a new one until I succeeded. In Super Meat Boy, you monotonously jump into death and repeat the same sections until God smiles on you and you pass through those sawblades or whatever abysmal obstacle has been keeping you held back the last 100 deaths. On top of this the game seemingly taunts you for your failures with a replay of every death you had (while a cool feature) all in on the same screen making your errors all the more obvious. Does this give a sense of satisfaction when you finally succeed? Hell yes, but not because you actually did it. Most of the time I was only happy because I didn't have to see that level again, not because I accomplished something because chances are it was only a lucky jump to begin with.
Tales from Skyrim: Finding Awe
on 11.28.2011
Crunch. My iron clad feet made the tundra speak as I sprinted through the night to my destination. It was almost impossible not to stop and stare as I ran by streams alight with torchbugs, but the Jarl needed his dragonslayer. I spotted Irileth near the tower that was my destination; her torch revealing the position of many guards under her command. They seemed prepared as they could be given the situation. There was a roar and a beating of wings. I have never seen or heard a dragon, bu there is only one creature that can command that much respect through sound alone.
We searched the skies, but the night hid him well. The guards were taking blind shots at short glimpses of the creature, but to no avail; it was more agile than it's size would have you believe. Arrows whistled through the air just behind the creature, as if it was cutting it close to taunt it's enemies. As if it was a sign the heaven's cracked and rain poured forth, seemingly caused by the immense power of the creature goading us.
"Are you a coward, dragon? Why do you not face us?"
My reply was quick and final as the dragon landed and sent a stream of flame battering against me. I leapt from my perch on the ruins, he was fast so I needed to be faster. I could not find him without the vantage of height, but I could hear him raging around the tower. The scream of a guard was shortlived as I rounded that corner and watched the beast devour him. I took the opening and swung battleaxe with a strength only a Nord could wield. If you invade these lands dragon, you will have me to contend with.
My axe connected and the impact cause the dragon to shudder. It feels pain, and I am able to draw it's blood. I will kill this beast. The dragon took to the skies after sensing the threat I now posed. I nocked an arrow and followed it through the air, waiting for my opportunity. The dragon began to dive, it's maw widened to pour forth flame. The swift twang of my bowstring echoed in the ruins as my arrow pierced the dragons hide and sent it colliding with the ground. Now was my chance.
I sank my axe into the beast repeatedly and it was growing weak; writhing from my blows upon it's skull. Taking advantage of it's anguish, I mounted it's head. It tried to throw me but I held. This dragon was a threat, and the land of Skyrim need be rid of it, so I held. I sank the blade of the axe into the dragon as it let out it's last breath, and collapsed on the ground beneath me. In the light of the torches of the guards I began to see the creature deteriorate.
"What is this?"
Power poured from the dragon, circling around me. This phenomenon had me perplexed, and the guards stood with hushed faces.
"You must be dragonborn!" exclaimed a guard.
"What is this...dragonborn?" I asked.
I was told the tale of powerful men able to learn the language of dragons, and to use them.
"Shout, use your voice, it is the only true way to know"
I belted the word, not knowing the meaning or the power it held, but the effects were noticeable. The guard stood in amazement.
"You are, you truly are dragonborn!"
Irileth was quick to dismiss the talk and discuss the reality of the situation. Whether I was this dragonborn or not, I just killed a dragon, and that was all we needed. I was to return to the Jarl and notify him immediately.
I made my way to Whiterun, my head racing with thoughts of the Dragonborn.
"Hrogdolf, the Dragonborn"
It sounded silly, but there was no denying the fact that I was able to speak power...whatever it meant. I reached the gates of Whiterun to the sound of thunder, but it wasn't a natural thunder. I looked to the mountains, expecting another dragon, but instead I heard a single word. Echoing off the ridge, it held destiny in it's grasp as it reached my ears.
Today in Indie
on 11.09.2011
As per usual on days I don't have class, I tend to float about in the Xbox Live marketplace seeing if there are any new videos to download and watch or anything else I might be interested. Lo and behold I stumble upon this little gem, DLC Quest. The "cover art" caught my eye in the XBLIG tab so I quickly downloaded the demo for what is a hilarious satire of the industry's obsession with downloadable content.
While I personally enjoy DLC for games I'd like to play more of, I can really see how it can go south, and this just takes it to the extreme and satirizes it's balls off. From the beginning of the game your character can only move right, can't jump, can't go left, has no animations, there's no game sound...well...until you buy the DLC. In classic platforming fashion, you jump around to get coins and once you have enough...you buy the DLC. Outside of the manner it approaches DLC, it has a lot of nods to gaming's stereotypical pitfalls with lots of "inside jokes" pertaining to the industry and game design.
All that aside, it's extremely charming for what it is, and the gameplay really is quite good considering the backseat it could have taken to the humor. At 80 MS points, I'd say it's more than worthy of a purchase for some quick entertainment at the sake of gaming and it's modern woes.

Next Generation Say Wha!?
on 10.21.2011
The rumor bug seems to have gotten everyone talking about the next big thing in consoles, whether the PS4 or the Xbox 720 (if they name it that I will die a little inside). However, in a generation where content is built upon consistently through downloading, and frankly one where the games already look phenomenal, what will this mean for backwards compatibility.
The 360 and PS3 both severely dropped the ball when it came to this. The 360 having fairly shoddy software emulation for an extremely selective, and often-times questionable list of games (Barbie games and not Stranger's Wrath?) and the PS3 just ended up dropping it completely to shave costs. The question I want answered the most, which while it's still even early to ask it with no tangible information out about the next consoles from Sony and Microsoft, what will you do with all these games I own, both downloaded and hard-copy, and all the subsequent downloaded content I have for them?
Will both companies implement some sort of "cloud" service for these old games, will we be able to transfer and play them on the new machines as-is? I can easily see this subject making or breaking these consoles if it isn't addressed logically, and responsibly. While I can't say I have any intention to get rid of my 360 the day the next one hits, there's something to be said about your console being able to play the previous ones library and still support what has been an extremely long console generation of added content.
A Few More Pennies In The Jar
on 10.15.2011
In the recent year or so, anti-used gaming schemes have become a big contention point in a seemingly activist attitude towards video games. Whether from the extremely ridiculous "single save" scheme from Capcom to the more common "online pass", publishers are trying harder and harder to stick their fingers into the pie of used game sales. In this little write-up I'm going to pay my two-cents and throw my thoughts into the arena.
Coming from a purely logical standpoint, it more than makes sense that publishers (developers too probably, but the publishers are the ones lighting up the room) would like to see some
money back from their investments. A potential 120 dollars from two NEW buyers would be just 60 dollars from a NEW/USED duo, can be disconcerting from a purely business of money view. While there are many ways other than these passes to increase new sales or get money out of used purchasers (here's looking at you DLC), the online pass seems to be becoming the de facto method by the industry, but herein lie(s) the problem(s).
For starters, there wouldn't be so many outspoken individuals if this was a completely logical idea. The publishers making such a fuss are already the ones that make the most money, which in turn paints them in the fat, greedy oil baron archetype and we all just LOVE those guys don't we? Their defense is that online servers cost money, but not only is this arbitrary with all the DLC they release, not all games have dedicated servers. Even the ones that do wouldn't suffer, as Destructoid's own Jim Sterling has pointed out, "two can't be made from one". A person who buys new then trades his game in also gives away his "slot" to play online, which is then purchased by the new buyer regardless of if he plays online or not, and if he doesn't that's essentially making things cheaper for the publisher anyways.
Online passes also have the potential of crippling the online community in the long-run and ripping people off if they don't have the knowledge of its current status. Who is to say that a year from now people will still be playing the game that the publisher just gladly forced an unknowing user into buying? That's money that did nothing. Could this be fixed? Sure, remove online passes when the population is dwindling. That poses even more issues though. When is it time to remove it? Would publishers even care? Wouldn't this just further hinder the longevity of these games?
As a whole, I think publishers and/or developers wanting more capital for their projects is a completely logical thing, but I also think online passes are the wrong way to do it. Make your games "untradeable"; if people like your games enough they won't throw them at Gamestop for store credit (which brings up the used market allowing new purchases but that's another story). Give more incentives to buy new than just "oh, well, if I buy used I'll have to pay for this completely stupid thing to get all the content the game was shipped with". While this argument seems to be completely polarizing, with people wanting to burn down these big publishers and people defending their right to make money of their own games, I think most people can agree that almost forcing people into this new policy of blocking content and all its potential repercussions is NOT the way to do it.

the breakfast and general service was superb
a noise like rain on the window at 4 am, possibly a water heater?
staff were friendly, and the turn around for the wedding event was great
the dj for the wedding kept playing rubbish songs after a great one, so people were up and then down for dancing
I enjoyed the sea front location, the beautiful building and atmosphere. Staff were very professional and attentive.
Although not unsatisfactory, there are few things about breakfast which could have been better: it was priced quite high (£10), and for such a high price I would have expected better quality sausages and more choice... There was a choice of either buffet breakfast or the "cooked to order" one, so you could not order freshly cooked eggs unless paying extra..Items such as fried eggs became dried while on the hot holding tray and it does not take a lot of time to fry eggs...Also, there was no decaffeinated filter coffee available for breakfast (but it was on sale at the bar...)

Not really a bad experience but the spa is too small. Although relaxing it needs to be bigger and a hot tub/jacuzzi would be better
The Cavendish is a beautifully-restored large Victorian Hotel on the sea-front, with large, spacious rooms with great views. It maintains the charm of Victoriana but quietly; nothing over the top. The Receptionist was smiley, welcoming and very efficient - Laura-Maria; a friendly, excellent ambassador for the hotel. My room on the 4th floor was modern & spacious, spotless, with large double bed, desk, small but clean bathroom with powerful shower, and the bedroom had a balcony with large sliding doors to it - plenty of fresh sea air! The bar food was fine - the restaurant looked a bit pricey for 2 courses - with a good pint of real ale. Breakfast was help-yourself, with good hot food and plenty of choice. I would stay again without hesitation. Quiet, comfortable, with all staff being attentive but without being over-familiar or in your face. It's everything I want from a hotel. Oh, and reviews I read that criticised the parking charge - you can now buy a £1 permit from Reception for a day's on-street parking anywhere around the hotel. The only niggle, if I had to find one, was a room charge for wi-fi - but a nice inducement not to turn on the iPad and work in my room when the view and the bar were equally accessible!
Good location right by pier. Very clean hotel. Great breakfast that was lovely food with great range and good service from staff
Was a party on at hotel and it would have helped if people that went to party stayed on floor 1 and other guests on higher foot. Music stopped at midnight and would been better if I had been on higher floor
friendly staff,very comfy beds,tasty food,good service ,value for money,easy to find parking,nice foyer.
decor abit too bland in room(county cream)would be nice to not been looking out onto heating system and car park,heating system out back too noisey,would be nice to have bath robes
Nice room. Clean. Friendly staff. Very good breakfast!
All ways enjoy our stay at the Cavendish which seems to be once a month at the moment.
This last stay the room was very poor, could not open the window and the disco went on till after midnight. Whilst I appreciate the function was all in a very good cause why give us a room directly above the dance hall. This should have been allocated to persons attending the disco. Not a happy visit this time.
We had a room with a very nice view of the sea, the breakfast was very good with good choice and attentive service.
Really nice hotel, friendly staff. Very close to the beach, shops and restaurants. Excellent choice for breakfast. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to re-book. Shirley & Anthony - Northamptonshire
Fantastic hotel in a great location. Clean and tidy and great breakfast. Nice big room with sea view.
We were very disappointed to have only luke warm bath water after a long day out walking and also to have a luke warm shower the following morning as well. Needed a bigger bed cover for such a lovely large bed.
very comfortable room with excellent bed and bathroom. Lovely view and balcony were a bonus.
Lots of choice at breakfast but a bit bland.
I liked the anonymity of it as we lead really busy lives at home.
I didn't like the smell that surrounded every area. It was a flowery smell which was very oppressive!
Location of hotel. Great value for money, good food
It was you could wish in a hotel on the sea front at a holiday resort. Good parking
We were not disturbed, our pricey was respected food first class
My complaint about room (outlook) was attended to with discretion and courtesy
Particularly liked the quality of the room and hotel. Service was good. Staff very polite and friendly. Good location. Overall a good experience that means we'll be likely to return. Our main purpose was a short break away to explore the area on foot.
Scaffolding wasn't a problem in itself, we were aware before our stay but, no curtain at bathroom window meant privacy was hit and miss as workman right outside the room on the balcony. We think some sign to let us know workman present and also curtain to maintain privacy whilst letting the room would be obvious!

Nikhil Arora – Co-Founder, Back to the Roots
When Nikhil and his friend and now business partner Alejandro Velez, were a few months away from graduation at UC Berkley, they heard that they could grow gourmet mushrooms on recycled coffee grounds. Inspired by the idea of turning waste into fresh, local food, they experimented in Alex's fraternity kitchen ultimately growing one test bucket of oyster mushrooms. With the ONE bucket and lots of support from their community, they made a life changing decision to forgo their investment banking and consulting job offers. Instead they became full-time urban mushroom farmers and haven't looked back. Want to know how to grow fresh organic mushrooms in your home? Want to learn about a Water Garden that is a closed loop ecosystem where you can feed fish, feed the plants, and the plants clean the water? So do I! Join me to find out.

Family kayaking (Dave Heath photo)
Enjoy river and ocean kayaking at a variety of venues in Squamish, thanks to the municipality's ideal location at the mouth of the Squamish River and the north end of Howe Sound.
With dozens of scenic bays, inlets, and stretches of open water to choose from, ocean kayaking near Squamish is an enjoyable and impressive adventure.
Porteau Cove Provincial Park, located 20km/12.4mi south of Squamish, is a great place to launch for a scenic shoreline paddle. Other ocean-kayaking areas in Howe Sound recommended by Tourism Squamish include Pam Rocks, Gambier Island, Anvil Island, and Christie Islet.
For those seeking an easy paddle or introduction to kayaking, the Mamquam River is a great option. Flowing directly through Squamish, it offers calm waters and lots of opportunities to view local birds, wildlife, and plants.

Or try the Squamish River Estuary for another easy paddle. Bird-watching fans can view the Brackendale eagles while kayaking between late November and early February.
More advanced kayakers can get a whitewater adrenaline rush on the Upper Cheakamus River, which is rated Grade 4-5, or the Elaho River, which is rated Grade 3-4. Grade 6-rated water is available in the narrow, steep Ashlu Canyon.
For a laidback freshwater experience that's suitable for the whole family, go kayaking on a local lake such as Alice Lake in Alice Lake Provincial Park.
Kayaks can be rented in Squamish from Valhalla Pure Squamish (805-#1200 Hunter Place). Check with the Squamish Adventure Centre (also the Visitor Centre) for companies that offer kayaking lessons, and for up-to-date information about local weather and water conditions.

Addicks turn to Pardew
24 Dec 2006 - 19:20:03
Charlton Athletic have sensationally parted company with head coach Les Reed, with former West Ham manager Alan Pardew having agreed a deal to take charge at The Valley.
Reed had started the season as assistant to Iain Dowie, but the latter was shown the door after just 15 games in charge, with the Addicks struggling near the foot of the Premiership table.
Reed took over but was unable to mastermind a change in fortunes, as Charlton won only one game in eight under their second manager of the season.
The final straw was a 2-0 defeat at Middlesbrough on Saturday, with the Addicks having crashed out of the Carling Cup in midweek, losing 1-0 at home in their quarter-final against League Two Wycombe Wanderers.
Pardew has been out of work for less than a fortnight, having been axed by the Hammers after a poor start to the new season.
However, the former Reading boss guided the Irons to the FA Cup final last season, while they also finished ninth in the table on their return to the top-flight.
Pardew has signed a three-and-a-half-year contract with Charlton, where he spent nearly four years as a player back in the early 1990s.
