Parting Glances: Whap! Thud! Kick! Kill! Shazam!
Originally printed 3/2/2017 (Issue 2509 - Between The Lines News)
An oft-quoted U of M study of juvenile couch-potato-derangement-in-the-making blames adult violence on TV programs that feature heroes who are admired for bravery but imitated for violent acts. (Watch now. Wallop later.)
Not everyone agrees. Dennis Wharton, spokesperson for the National Association of Broadcasters says, "Other studies find just the opposite of what this U of M report concludes." Perhaps Mr. Wharton is myopic. Or, maybe it's all in the eye of the beholder, after all.
Sixty years ago a shrink named Fredric Wertham, claimed the bitter seeds of crime were sown by comic books. His study "Seduction of the Innocent" also claims comics turned impressionable kids gay. (In or out of capes and leotards isn't specified.)
"I have never come across any adult or adolescent who had outgrown comic-book reading who would ever dream of keeping any of the 'books' for any sentimental or other reason," Wertham adds. (Let's see, "Action Comic #1; 1938" markets for $38M to $350M.)
I'll admit as a kid I admired Captain Marvel. I knew that his alter ego, dot-eyed Billy Batson, was an ordinary runt like me. That was encouraging. With exercise, Wheaties, eight hours of sleep, and Brill Cream - "a little dab'll do ya" - life held possibilities for real rooftop soaring.
But Wertham's darts weren't directed at Captain Marvel, Mary Marvel, Superman, Plastic Man, Submariner, The Flash, and Mr. Tweedle Dee Dee. (All heroes of mine.) They were aimed at closet queers Batman and Robin and crypto-dyke Wonder Woman.
Yes, the Caped Crusader had a "ward" (guardian, not prison) and Wonder Woman, well - as plump sidekick Etta Candy woo-woo'd it, "Aphrodite be praised!" - she hailed from an island of Amazons, and they weren't selling books online in that same-sex forum, either.
"At home they lead an idyllic life," observes Wertham. "They are Bruce Wayne and 'Dick' Grayson. They live in sumptuous quarters with beautiful flowers in large vases. Batman is sometimes shown in a dressing gown. It is like a wish of two homsexuals living together."
(Under 30s, please note: A dressing gown is not drag. Large vases are House & Gardens optional. But, as everybody knows, 'Dick' is dick.)
"For boys Wonder Woman is a frightening image," warns Wertham. "For girls she is a morbid ideal. Where Batman is anti-feminine, the attractive Wonder Woman and her counterparts are definitely anti-masculine."
Wertham may have been on to something about the Wayne-Graysons. DC Comics, which drives the lucrative Batmobile to the bank, refuses to grant permission to use any illustrations of the crusading pair - gardening or fisticuffing - for psychological gossiping about the their sexual orientation.
As far as gays and real-time violence is concerned, David Nimmons, in his book "The Soul Beneath the Skin" (St. Martin's Press) says instances of LGBT street or public violence are remarkably few. (Straight violence against us is another story, with Trump now in a Homophobic & Gaybash decorated Oval Office.)
Nimmons data are taken from police records, notably those of Greenwich Village, Province Town, Boy's Town, Chicago, Washington, D.C., where, of five large-scale gay events held in one year, with 1,400,000 attendees total, only 10 disturbance arrests occurred.
"Oddly enough," says Nimmons, "America has a vast peaceable kingdom in its midst, yet has scarcely noticed." (Too busy duct-taping Gotham City, no doubt. Holy Oil Wells, Batman!)

Tags: Brian, Digital Comics
I've got a lot of stuff to catch up on today (and a misbehaving child who is making it harder to do so then I would like), and a phone interview with ComicGeekSpeak tonight, so I may not finish the reviews tonight. Still, trying the daily thing here, so must Feed the Beast.
Veneta Rogers has one of her Talking Shop pieces for Newsarama up at http://forum.newsarama.com/showthread.php?t=103822, on the topic of Digital Comics. I was one of the people she emailed on the topic, but I wrote a statement, rathering than answering her bulleted questions, so I ended up mostly on the cutting room floor. Here's the entirety of what I wrote:
I'm fairly non-plussed, at this stage, about digital comics.
There are a couple of reasons for this:
1) Music, our primary source for "how will this impact us" analysis, is very different than reading. Music tends to be either something that is either a social function/lubricant or an activity that is done while doing something else (like, say, taking the bus, or studying or surfing the web). "Listening to music", I believe, in most cases for most people, most of the time, is a relatively "passive" activity — most of the time you're not putting 100% of your focus ON the music, if you understand what I mean? This is not the case for "reading" (be it comics or prose) — that's an "active" activity all of the time, and can really only be done alone. It makes sense for you to be able to carry 10k songs in your pocket. It makes less sense to have 10k comic books there.
2) Excluding a few audio-philes, the difference between an song playing on a MP3 over your computer's crappy speakers, or listening to a "tape" on your "Walkman", or playing a CD on your stereo is pretty much nil — there's a portability between formats and the listening device, and so, naturally whichever format takes up the least space and costs the least will win.
The experience of "reading" is very different, and we're nowhere near the "portability" of music (or video, for that matter, though even that has a while to go) — until there's a ubiquitous low-cost universal portable reader, I don't see the one we currently have (paper) being especially harmed. And even then I have my doubts.
(the corollary of that point is there's every reason to believe that digital "sampling" can lead to increased sales of physical objects)
3) Unlike prose, the physical presentation of content matters very much — a comics page is usually designed as a unit, and the "timing" of the story depends on its physical space. Reading comics formatted for a comic's dimension is a wholly different experience on a computer screen. How successful would digital music have proven if you had to fiddle with the balance controls for each and every song?
I think digital comics are inevitable, but I don't think, at this stage, they should be feared by the quality DM retailer, because the disadvantages of the experience, portability, and presentation don't prove much of a "threat" to the physically printed object.
'cuz, y'see, right now this very second, you can get this week's comics, for 100% free, from the net, yet comic sales are on their 6th straight year of rise. Yes, there are some percentage of people who would like to switch to digital, but haven't done so for ethical reasons (yay, them!) or technology know-how ones, but I don't think they'll be statistically significant; and I think they'll be outnumbered by the new people we expose to the art form.
At least for stores that are "civilian-friendly", diversely stocked and focused, and are taste-makers rather than trend-followers.

Start here for a short tour of the guide and climate compatible development
CEDRA was developed by Tearfund to make development programmes climate resilient. It supports assessment of climate risks to current programmes, identification of adaptation options and organisational change. CEDRA has now been used by more than 70 NGOs, the majority of which are Tearfund partners, across Latin America, Africa and Asia. The CEDRA "tool" itself is one part of a process involving workshops, action plans and follow up activities.
One important lesson from CEDRA is that it has been instrumental in raising awareness of the need to consider climate related risks in partners' programmes and strategies, across sectors. The start-up workshop often gives a 'lightbulb moment' for partners. For example, in Malawi, CEDRA helped villagers understand and take action to combat some of the human-made hazards they face. This resulted in developing plans to plant trees and construct of a flood-control dyke. The local village headman said that 'CEDRA is an eye-opener on our part as people in Nsanje district,' said village headman Kachere. 'It has helped us to develop action plans on the issues of our concern.' In Bangladesh, Tearfund partners have used CEDRA to carry out exercises with women's microcredit groups to raise awareness on how to manage climate change.
CEDRA has also played a role in uncovering communities' views and priorities, and the importance of considering communities' priorities: In Bangladesh, rural communities in coastal and riverside areas are regularly hit by cyclones. The community undertook a number of projects to try to cope better with the devastating impact of cyclones. They constructed a cyclone shelter, developed emergency evacuation plans and trained volunteers to help coordinate protecting important assets and evacuating people safely. Gradually, the community's confidence about surviving a cyclone grew. During a recent CEDRA-led project assessment, villagers confirmed that the project had been helpful. However, it also became clear that the more pressing priority had always been rather different: addressing the day-by-day erosion of their land due to sea-level rise and the consequent loss of livelihoods. Some community members had been aware of this, but before the CEDRA-led project assessment, no one had asked them to input into the initial project.
The ultimate goal of CEDRA is to help improve long term resilience. An example from Bihar, India, illustrates how this may happen in practice where a community have become more resilient to the annual flooding, as they have built up greater financial resources and are growing flood-resistant crops. Phudan Devi lives with her husband and five children in a small village. They are subsistence farmers with less than two acres of land, which produces barely enough to support the family. As well as being poor, they belong to a low 'caste' or social group and so are marginalised. What's more, they live in an area that experience regular flooding. Phudan's family lost everything in a major flood in 2004. Families such as hers do not have savings to fall back on or skills to earn money.
Eficor, a local Tearfund partner, has used the CEDRA tool to help communities such as Phudan's to adapt, by training and enabling people to prepare for and cope with floods and other disasters. One key element of this is to build up communities' financial resilience, and particularly women's, by showing them how to set up self-help groups (SHGs) and by training people so they can pursue alternative livelihoods. Phudan joined an SHG in 2006. She took out a loan of 2000 Rupees (£26) from the SHG and cultivated potatoes on a quarter of their farmland. Her investment produced 7500 Rupees' (£100) worth of potatoes. She took another loan of 1000 Rupees (£13) and planted vegetables, generating a profit of 2500 Rupees (£32.50). When floods came again in 2007, Phudan's family and the other 175 families in their community suffered much less damage than in 2004 because they were much better prepared.
A number of challenges to CEDRA application and outcomes have also been identified. Tearfund's own review highlights the need to:

The Predator is a fictional extraterrestrial species featured in the Predator science-fiction franchise, characterized by its trophy hunting of other dangerous species for sport, including humans and its fictional counterparts, Aliens.
First introduced in 1987 as the main antagonist of the film Predator, the Predator creatures returned in the sequels Predator 2 (1990), Alien vs. Predator (2004), Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem (2007), and Predators (2010). The Predators have also been the subject of numerous novels, video games, and comic books, both on their own and as part of the Alien vs. Predator crossover imprint.
Kramer vs. Predator pits Dustin Hoffman's character from Kramer vs. Kramer against a Predator in a parody of the 2004 crossover film Alien vs. Predator in "8 Simple Rules for Buying My Teenage Daughter".
In a cutaway gag in "Brian Writes a Bestseller", a guy in a coma dreams of writing a script of Batman vs. Predator.
A Predator stalks Peter, Joe and Quagmire in the woods in "Bigfat". Peter suggested covering their body heat like Arnold Schwarzenegger did in the film but the others disagree; saying it's just a movie.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I have a t-shirt business that I have started and use a particular phrase on the shirts and I am looking to copyright it.
Hi. If you are using a name or phrase on an article in commerce, such as a shirt, you are probably looking to trademark it. You should consult an IP attorney. Many will give you a free initial consultation.Ask a similar question
But, likely you cannot protected as a trademark either if it is merely a statement or comment. For example if you put "FREE BIRD" on a shirt, that is more likely just a statement that you the wearer are a free spirit. On the other hand, if you put "Freebird, Lynrd Skynrd" now you have changed to a trademark and to something arguably protected under right of publicity by the heirs to SWEET HOME ALABAMA [another of their famous songs] after the plane crash killed the band in 1977.
I agree with my collegaue. This is a trademark issue assuming you are using the phrase as a tagline that indentifies your products in commerce.
You would first properly clear the mark then a registration application should be filed with the USPTO (see info below for more on this).
It would be helpful to discuss all your plans and objectives in more detail with a lawyer. Most of us here, including myself, offer a free phone consult.

Feel free to call for a free phone consultation; your inquiries are always welcome: CONTACT: 866-871-8655 firstname.lastname@example.com DISCLAIMER: this is not intended to be specific legal advice and should not be relied upon as such. No attorney-client relationship is formed on the basis of this posting.Ask a similar question
You cannot copyright a short phrase, but a short phrase can become a trademark. A trademark is a word, phrase or logo that becomes associated in the minds of consumers with the source of specific goods or services. Trademark rights arise from use in commerce and it is not necessary to register your trademark before acquiring trademark rights. However, registration is highly recommended because it has many advantages. It provide evidence that you are the trademark owner and a national presumption that others who compete with you cannot use your trademark. Registration also has many advantages in litigation to enforce trademark rights.
If you want to make sure you are adequately protecting your trademark, you need to retain trademark counsel. First, your counsel must conduct a trademark clearance analysis---before you begin using the phrase or tagline, you need to make sure that you can do so without violate trademarks owned by others, This is critical----many people fail to retain counsel to conduct a trademark clearance and find out years later that their trademark is invalid, that they have to stop using it, and that they are liable for substantial damages for trademark infringement.
Once your trademark clearance is finished, your counsel should file a trademark registration for you. Once the application is filed it will be reviewed by a trademark examiner, who may issue an office action raising objections to your application, Your attorney would need to respond to any such office action. If your attorney successfully responds (or if there is no objection from the trademark examiner), your proposed trademark will be published. After it is published, members of the public have the right to object to issuance of the trademark by instituting an opposition proceeding. If no opposition proceeding is filed, the trademark is issued. However, even after the trademark issues, members of the public can institute a cancellation proceeding. Because of the importance of your trademark to your business, it is important that you have legal counsel on retainer to handle these matters for you. You cannot handle matters like this without legal counsel.Ask a similar question
I think a slightly different response is required than given by my colleagues. Generally short phrases are not protectable by copyright and usually not by trademark protection either. If they are the design on the front of the shirt rather than an indication of source of the shirt. For example, if I put "I love rock 'n roll" or "I love country music" on the front of the T-shirt that is not a trademark but rather a comment, unless you instead put "I love rock 'n roll, put another coin in the jukebox baby -Joan Jett and the Blackhearts", in which case it might be considered an indicator of source or origin or sponsorship of the shirt and thus a trademark. Short phrases are not protected under the copyright laws in the USA, because they are deemed not to have the requisite level of creativity.
I am not your lawyer and you are not my client. Free advice here is without recourse and any reliance thereupon is at your sole risk. This is done without compensation as a free public service. I am licensed in IL, MO, TX and I am a Reg. Pat. Atty. so advice in any other jurisdiction is strictly general advice and should be confirmed with an attorney licensed in that jurisdiction.Ask a similar question
If the phrase is a slogan (think: "Just do it" for Nike or "Made from the best stuff on earth" for Snapple), then this can be protected via trademark. The process is the same as filing a word mark or logo as a trademark. As the other lawyers have mentioned, the slogan needs to refer to your brand. Simply putting a phrase across a T-shirt can create raise various issues (it could be a mere decorative or ornamental use, for example), but if the phrase is used on the clothing brand and appears on the tags, then it may not be problematic.
It would help to discuss the phrase and use you have in mind with an IP attorney who can advise you on your next steps.Ask a similar question

Released: December 12, 2014
You need a break. Maybe a cup of coffee. Definitely a blowjob. Luckily Cassie is here to provide all three. She's all dolled up in something irresistibly sexy… I think all that renovation work can wait for a little while. Sometimes you just have to take a little "me" time, or a little "us" time in this case. When a blowjob is offered to you in such a loving, sweet way, it's kind of hard to refuse in order to get back to carpentry. Cassie's long brown hair cascades down her back, frames her beautiful face and teases down over her pert breasts. As you take in her beauty, she starts to strip you down and you do the same in turn, revealing her gorgeous pink bra and thong, and then eventually taking most of it off until she's sucking you deeply in only her panties, stockings and heels. This is the kind of fantasy that distracts you while you're hard at work, so it's only fair that the reality of a beautiful blowjob surprise should be cause for a little time off. She strokes and she sucks, gazing deeply into your eyes. Her eyes are chocolate brown, doe-like and framed by fluttery, soft eyelashes. Every time she bats her eyes at you, you feel a little wave of calm come over you. When you feel a different sensation building up inside you, you let go and allow the pleasure to wash over you as your cum sprays all over her face and mouth. Her hands continue to please you as you ride the soft denouement of this incredible blowjob… Now, back to work!

My husband checked Trip Advisor before booking this hotel so needless to say we were SHOCKED by how deceptive the reviews and pictures were. This hotel is an old dump! There is nothing nearby, there is no breakfast (im sorry I dont consider coffee and a pile of apples "breakfast") Our room was humid, dank, and dated. I would have forgiven the outdated decor if the room had been clean at least but it was filthy. Jelly residue on table, crumbs everywhere, hair in sink. The hallways smell like cigarettes and people cooking. Even the location is inconvenient and isolated. Both times we attempted to use their free shuttle we were made to wait so long that we decided to fork over $20 to the cab company instead. Just an unpleasant stay overall, this hotel has ruined my trust in priceline and Trip Advisor. Go "anywhere" else.

Winner of the first Traverse City IPA Challenge! Magnum is not for the squeamish nor the weak of palate.
As the name suggests Magnum Hopsitality is intensely hoppy and brewed for those who can't get enough hops. Hops, hops and more hops flourish, citrusy and piney with a massive floral nose, and a dry finish without palate-obliterating bitterness. This IPA requires an insane amount of hops to produce, we don't make much, and we don't brew it often, so get your fix while it lasts.

About this title
"Remarkably," writes Ted Atkinson, "during a period roughly corresponding to the Great Depression, Faulkner wrote the novels and stories most often read, taught, and examined by scholars." This is the first comprehensive study to consider his most acclaimed works in the context of those hard times.
Atkinson sees Faulkner's Depression-era novels and stories as an ideological battleground―in much the same way that 1930s America was. With their contrapuntal narratives that present alternative accounts of the same events, these works order multiple perspectives under the design of narrative unity. Thus, Faulkner's ongoing engagement with cultural politics gives aesthetic expression to a fundamental ideological challenge of Depression-era America: how to shape what FDR called a "new order of things" out of such conflicting voices as the radical left, the Popular Front, and the Southern Agrarians.
Focusing on aesthetic decadence in Mosquitoes and dispossession in The Sound and the Fury, Atkinson shows how Faulkner anticipated and mediated emergent sociocultural forces of the late 1920s and early 1930s. In Sanctuary; Light in August; Absalom, Absalom!; and "Dry September," Faulkner explores social upheaval (in the form of lynching and mob violence), fascism, and the appeal of strong leadership during troubled times. As I Lay Dying, The Hamlet, "Barn Burning," and "The Tall Men" reveal his "ambivalent agrarianism"―his sympathy for, yet anxiety about, the legions of poor and landless farmers and sharecroppers. In The Unvanquished, Faulkner views Depression concerns through the historical lens of the Civil War, highlighting the forces of destruction and reconstruction common to both events.
Faulkner is no proletarian writer, says Atkinson. However, the dearth of overt references to the Depression in his work is not a sign that Faulkner was out of touch with the times or consumed with aesthetics to the point of ignoring social reality. Through his comprehensive social vision and his connections to the rural South, Hollywood, and New York, Faulkner offers readers remarkable new insight into Depression concerns.About the Author:

After winning three straight, the Lady Eagles (5-12, 1-5 Region 4-AAAA) have now lost two straight region games with the latest a 63-45 loss to Walnut Grove at home.
It was another Eagles' blowout for the Eastside boys basketball team (13-2, 7-0 Region 4-AAAA) as they stunned region foe Locust Grove in an 85-60 win that put their winning streak at 12 games.
Eastside came into Tuesday's matchup with Locust Grove 2-9 and winless in region play (0-2), but the Lady Eagles wouldn't leave the floor without their first region win with a season-high in points in the 59-27 win over the Lady Wildcats.
Before the holiday break, Eastside basketball hosted a Region 4-AAAA matchup as they hosted the Mt. Zion Bulldogs. The story for both games was certainly identical as it included two lopsided finishes. With the Lady Bulldogs dominating the Lady Eagles 59-19 and the Eastside boys flying past Mt. Zion 83-49 on Tuesday evening.
Eastside boys' basketball got off to a slow start that included a lopsided blowout loss to county-rival Newton by 30 points, but since then the Eagles are 5-1 and looking like a top-tier team in Region 4-AAAA. We talked with head coach Brent Wren about the Eagles resurgence, his big three and improving on defense.
A trip to Griffin High School ended differently for the Eastside girls' and boys' basketball teams. While the boys (6-2, 4-0 Region 4-AAAA) dismantled Griffin in a 73-61 win, the Lady Eagles (2-6, 1-3 Region 4-AAAA) were outmatched in a 54-20 loss to the Lady Bears.
The results are in and 12 Eagles were named All-region first or second team while a host of others were honorable mentions. Eastside finished the season with a 7-3 record that ended with a loss to Griffin in overtime keeping the Eagles out of the playoffs.
Brittany Medlin hated softball when she started playing. Now, she's signed her national letter of intent this past week to play softball at Belmont Abbey.
The beginning of every year for high school football players and college football coaches, is highlighted by National Signing Day. Over the years Eastside had had many kids sign and go to college to play football on an athletic scholarship. Current Eagle head coach Troy Hoff compiled a list of some of Eastside's current college football players.
Eastside softball saw five of its players selected as members of the 4-AAAA All-Region first or second team. The Lady Eagles held a banquet on Tuesday to honor some of their own and the award winners were: Molly Moon (Coach's Award), Brittany Medlin (Offensive Player of the Year), Bailey Stewart (Golden Glove), McKenzie Powell (Eagle Award), Caitlin Ray (MVP). Ray also made the Georgia Dugout Club All-Star team. Only seniors can make the list and only 80 players in the state were selected.
Last season Eastside girls' basketball finished with a 10-15 record overall including a 9-7 record in Region 4-AAAA, but the Lady Eagles missed out on the playoffs. This year the Lady Eagles have a new coach in Gladys King, who comes over after coaching at Rockdale and Salem high schools.
At the top of Eastside softball's lineup this season was its best player, Caitlin Ray. In the media center where Ray signed her letter of intent on Thursday afternoon, she was surrounded by her teammates, friends and a lot of family. In her four years at Eastside, Ray has been one of the best softball talents in the county and she capped off a great season by signing her letter of intent to play softball at Georgia State.
Coming off a slightly disappointing season that saw Eastside boys' basketball just miss out on the playoffs finishing with a record of 15-11 (9-7 Region 4-AAAA) the Eagles will begin the season under a new head coach in Brent Wren, who is taking over for Gregory Freeman after Freeman took over the head coaching job at Lovejoy.
Despite cold weather at Walnut Grove, Eastside's offense came out hot and rode the arm of junior quarterback Austin Holloway all the way to victory. Holloway tossed three touchdowns in the first half, two went to Josh Sims and another went to Eric Stokes, as Holloway finished with five scores total as the Eagles flew past the Warriors, 36-19.
Eastside football (6-2, 4-2 Region 4-AAAA) went to Hampton (0-8, 0-6 Region 4-AAAA) and took care of business, as they returned home with a 27-7 W, as they prepare to face Walnut Grove in the regular season finale on Friday.

Anna Gomez Is Keynote Speaker at FCC's Hispanic Heritage Month Celebration
Washington, DC—Anna M. Gomez, a partner in Wiley Rein's Telecom, Media & Technology (TMT) Practice, will serve as the keynote speaker at the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) Hispanic Heritage Month Observance on Friday, September 30, in Washington, DC.
Each year, Americans observe and honor National Hispanic Heritage Month from September 15 to October 15, celebrating the histories, cultures, and contributions of American citizens whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean and Central and South America. The observation began in 1968 as Hispanic Heritage Week under President Lyndon Johnson. The celebration was expanded to 30 days in 1988 by President Ronald Reagan.
"Since our founding, our Nation has drawn strength from the diversity of our people," President Barack Obama said in a Presidential Proclamation on September 15. "With faith and passion, a sturdy work ethic and profound devotion to family, Hispanics have helped carry forward our legacy as a vibrant beacon of opportunity for all."
Ms. Gomez—former Deputy Assistant Secretary for Communications and Information for the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) of the U.S. Department of Commerce—advises clients on regulatory, policy, and transactional matters related to domestic and international telecommunications. She also chairs Wiley Rein's Diversity & Inclusion Committee, comprised of attorneys from many practice areas at the firm.

| "I once thought I could save the world... now look at it"
— Spoilers for Deus Ex: Mankind Divided follow!
Faridah Malik is the chief pilot for Sarif Industries in Deus Ex: Human Revolution and the Deus Ex: Human Revolution comics. She is the protagonist of the novel Deus Ex: Fallen Angel.
Faridah Malik flew V-22 Osprey cargo haulers for ArcAir; a Chinese, Triad-affiliated aviation company. She enjoyed the company of her co-pilot and best friend; Evelyn Carmichael. One day the two were assigned to what turned out to be a smuggling operation supervised by Belltower commander Narhari Kahn. After picking up cargo from an off-shore XNG Shipping freighter; the Bel Canto, they were hit by a storm. In the turmoil, Malik discovered that the cargo were stasis pods with live humans, and witnessed Kahn executing one of the victims; a kidnapped Isolay employee who refused to submit to his new "employers". Parting with Evelyn, Malik fled - only to be shot down by Belltower drones on Kahn's orders. Malik survived, found a Sarif Industries business card in her wing-suit and arranged to leave her old life behind.[2]
As Sarif Industries' chief pilot, Faridah is able to fly anything from a helicopter to a VTOL, though she's only seen piloting the VTOL in-game. She is in charge of transport and delivery of Sarif Industries VIPs for any trips that require air transport. She is noted as a dedicated employee and pilot with sometimes overzealous flight tendencies that have proven her to be among the best in the skies. She has a few discreet cranial implants that enable her to be a better pilot.
According to Sarif Industries Human Resources, it has been noted that a small altercation occurred between Faridah Malik and Franklin Phillips. The report notes only that Franklin was overseeing Faridah on maintenance for the company's VTOL. A verbal altercation erupted over the choppers balance levels for VTOL lift when Faridah struck Franklin. No charges were filed against Faridah and she was issued a verbal warning from Human Resources.
Faridah will spend most of her time simply flying Jensen between places and providing him with intel through Adam's infolink. During the first visit to Hengsha, Malik will need Jensen's help to prove Lee Hong's involvement in the murder of her friend, Evelyn Carmichael, thus starting the Shanghai Justice quest.
Upon returning to Hengsha, Malik will be redirected to another landing zone, and shot down by a Belltower operative with a rocket launcher. She will be forced to perform an emergency landing, with Jensen barely making it out of the vehicle in time. 5-6 medium Belltower soldiers, 2 heavy soldiers, 2 snipers and even an 80-X Boxguard will surround her VTOL and open fire. If Jensen does not kill or disable them in time, the VTOL will sustain too much damage and explode, killing Malik. If Jensen manages to reach the helipad's elevator before the VTOL explodes, the Belltower soldiers will drag Malik out of the aircraft, and she'll be subsequently executed by Narhari Kahn. If Jensen manages to defeat the attackers, she will be able to repair the VTOL and escape safely. The player is rewarded with the Good Soul achievement. See Find Vasili Sevchenko's GPL Device for tactical considerations.
- If Faridah Malik is saved, she will assist later on in the game at the Singapore facility, rescuing the Sarif scientists there as well as dealing with a number of insane Spec ops troopers for Jensen.
- If she is killed, her corpse can be found in the Harvesters' hideout on an operating table in the surgery, which can also be accessed from a cracked wall that can be broken down near the room where you meet Tong Si Hung. She is presumably sold by Belltower to the Harvesters, allowing them to extract her mechanical augmentations, like they did with Vasili Sevchenko.
- If Jensen escapes before saving Malik, a military grunt will throw her out of the VTOL and Narhari Kahn will shoot her in the head. However, if Jensen has already killed Kahn at the Alice Garden Pods or Tai Yong Medical Headquarters, he will be replaced by a random Belltower soldier.
- She is one of only three known characters in the game who is unaffected by Jensen's CASIE augmentation (Social Enhancer), the others being Garvin Quinn and Michael Zelazny.
- Her personality type is Beta should the player attempt to use the CASIE augmentation on her at the Alice Garden Pods.
- Doing so will produce some amusing results. Jensen will try to convince Malik, only for her response to be threatening toward Jensen, which in turn causes Jensen to drop the CASIE during their conversation.
- She is also one of the few characters in the game who does not have an alternate line of dialogue if you speak to her with a weapon out. This is only possible after the completion of the Milwaukee Junction level -- all other conversations either occur at Sarif HQ, where weapons cannot be drawn, occur in cutscenes, or occur remotely.
- An e-mail on Faridah's computer suggests that she may be a rock climber in her spare time. The email, marked "weekend trip" refers to an offer to go to J-Tree and "nail the Fortress! Natural Selection, ba-beee". J-Tree is short hand for Joshua Tree National Park, a climbing destination and Natural Selection is a climbing route established on a crag there called The Fortress. The e-mail is presumably from a climbing partner. [3][4]
- In Deus Ex: Mankind Divided it is implied that Malik is still alive. If you interact with the cereal box on the kitchen counter after returning from Golem City, a cutscene will play where Jensen begins to pour himself a bowl of cereal, then a toy VTOL falls out of the box, looking just like Malik's old craft. Jensen then inspects the box inside out and sees a note taped to the bottom that says "Hope you like the prize inside, spyboy!"[5]
See alsoEdit
Behind the scenesEdit
- Faridah means "unique" or "precious", while Malik means "owner" or "proprietor" in Arabic. Therefore it is probable that she is of Arabic descent, especially given that in real life her birthplace has one of the highest concentration of Arabs in the US. One of the directors in the commentary of the Director's Cut confirms she is of Arab descent.
- Faridah Malik was also a name of an actress, who played only one role in her acting career as one of the victim girls in 1975 film 'Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom', based on the book '120 Days of Sodom', by the Marquis de Sade. Coincidence?
- On her face, she seems to have a birth mark, which is actually a monroe piercing.[6]

Location Nothing
Rooms were amazing The music from the night clubs in the area went until 3 am
Staff were awesome to deal with. Very friendly, from check in, cleaning staff, to check out! Nice hotel, and the food was great. I found the casino was smokier than others on the strip. As a non-smoker, I found this discouraging. And the walk from the strip was a bit of a pain.
Smoking in casino
Aria has a great location on the Strip. Very convenient to check out Bellagio founrains, nightlife at Cosmo or just staying within rhe City Center confines. Its a bit smoky in the casino area but not any more than others.
Very beautiful place, very stylish. There are tons of restaurants, shops and art pieces throughout the property. There's a night club Jewel there too. The concierges are super helpful. You can check in and out online. The hotel is situated well, can easily cross over to Cosmopolitan nearby. There's also a free tram, which can take you to Bellagio. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and hope to come back again sometime. The pools and the hot tubs hours are 9 to 5. I was at Aria for a conference and 9-5 is when its activities are taking place each day, which made it difficult for me to enjoy the pools and the hot tubs. Managed to do it just one day, when the conference activities finished an hour and a half earlier. We did have our conference's party by the pools, but I'm thinking not every day they must be using the pools area for private events...
Had a great coupon deal for one night at a wonderful, classy place. Sharp, professional, top-notch hotel!! The Casino floor was busy and there are a lot of hotel restaurant choices. My favorite experience was at check-in: when the line at mid-morning got a bit long, I watched a manager quickly find another six or eight staffers for registration and 'boom' the line was gone and I and others were taken care! Smoking in the casino, but that is everyplace in Las Vegas.
everything but the wifi please up you wifi game!! It is one of the most important features!
Room was older feeling for such a new hotel, and for a lesser price, vdarra or palazzo are infinitely nicer and amazing in comparison.
Great customer service
Expensive refreshments
The hotel had everything good food, clubs, shopping.
The location is the best part. The Cosmopolitan is at the center of everything. The Cosmopolitan has serval great restaurant options covering a variety of types of food and at various price points. The Cosmopolitan Staff is accommodating, professional and friendly. The hotel is showing some wear and tear but overall looks very nice. I was there for a girls weekend and my girls and I love Bravo. It would've been nice in our limited amount of downtime to be able to watch Bravo (hello, Real Housewives is life). Lol. Lastly it would be nice if there was more seating near the pool at the Boulevard Pool. This could be accomplished by opening up the reserved chairs on days/times when the pool isn't busy.
From the service to the room upgrade, this was such a wonderful stay. My friend and I loved everything about this hotel. Hands down my favorite in Vegas (I've stayed at many other hotels on the strip) and will be coming back each time! The marquee pool parties were a bit loud even with our balcony doors shut, but if you're looking for a quiet vacation, that's hard to come by in Vegas wherever you stay ;)
Staff were incredibly friendly and engaging in genuine conversation. The place is not for the budget friendly but you really get what you pay for.
Check in Receptionist was quick and very helpful with where things were in the hotel. Room was comfortable and the views of the fountain were great.
Checked in and room was not clean. However, free upgrade to a better room and great service more than made up for it. And they also gave us additional food vouchers at hotel. Beauty and Essex was a very good restaurant. Staff was always friendly and helpful and ensured they followed up daily due to room issue. Our view of Beallagio fountains and Paris was fantastic. Room was dirty at first but they went above and beyond to make up for it.
Upgraded us to a suite room for our first stay at the Cosmopolitan! Thanks Cosmopolitan for the great stay!
The staff was incredible after initial checkin we got married and we always wanted to stay here. From the staff helping us get a fridge for our top tier of our cake, to the staff trying to fix the dilemma of it not fitting to the celebration of our new future as mr and Mrs our entire stay was so memorable and we can't wait to go back and stay there again. Thank you so much again to Ernesto Rebecca g and Enrique ohhh and Mariah look for them when you go to the Cosmo they'll do Right by you! I didn't like checkin it's a bit slow and enough desks staff were not available considering it was a holiday weekend it should been over staffed. The most upsetting upon arrival was the gentleman Dave who checked us in, he wanted to rush us out as well as upsell me without really trying and while I stood in line watched him look over at the line pretend to do busy work and after 20 mins of watching finally have him call us over to start the check in process. He didn't even say congratulations or ask if it was our first time where we were from let's just say he forgot all his customer service skills or was filling in cause it was not pleasant. Besides the initial start to our wedding weekend the middle and ending was vindicated and amazing.
It is a first class Hotel with excellent accommodations and friendly staff. Limited and costly food to choose from.
Reception staff always need yo refer to manager and didnt know how to handle things. Although i had a late checkout they keep me waiting for over 30min at reception to find out how it works.
Nothing I never booked the hotel!!!' I never booked with Kayak..it's a mistake!!!
From check in to check out, our experience was perfect. Gorgeous hotel, beautiful room with very comfortable bed. We had friends that had a wrap around terrace suite which was gorgeous as well. The pools could have had a little more upbeat current music, also some more wait staff for people not in cabanas. Every request we had was fulfilled immediately. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!
Dejlig central beliggenhed, flot interiøre, super værelse med skønt badeværelse. alt for lang ventetid ved Check in og check out, skuffet over kuponsystem (rabatkuponer) - Havde forventet at det var lettere at gøre brug af kupon, men overalt for lange køer - til vi overhovede gad bruge dem
Fint hotel - sted og pris helt OK
Perfekt beliggenhed midt på "the strip". Husk at man også kan benytte poolen på Planet Hollywood Towers by Westgate. Parkeringshus (self park) ligger en rask gåtur gennem "miracle mile" shoppingmall, men ikke mere end 5mins gang. Alternativt kan man benytte hotellets "gratis" valet (drikkepenge). Hotellet er meget "poppet" og der spilles høj musik i casino og offentlige arealer. De nyrenoverede "hollywood hip rooms" har helt fantastiske senge.
hele atmosfæren var god nej
Moderne værelser, meget central beliggenhed, meget rimelig værelsespris, stort badeærelse Minibar mangler, at ønske om ikke-rygerværelse respekteres (blev dog flyttet)
Everything was gorgeous - the staff as well as the entire hotel. There's no casino in the hotel so it does provide a haven for when you need a break from the frenzy that is Las Vegas. The bed was awesome! Location is very central on the strip. I would definitely recommend.
The MO is an unexpected and beautiful facility that is everything Vegas is not. If your looking for sanctuary from the 24/7 insanity of Vegas the MO is that and so much more.
Tranquility and truly friendly and helpful staff. On the strip with readily accessible gambling but structured in such a way that you can relax when you choose. minor maintenance issues with an otherwise wonderful room.
This is an island of paradise among the insanity of Vegas. The attention to detail is without equal. There is no casino which provides a number of benefits. The walk to the room is very short, the line for a cab is non-existent, Starbucks is right by the front door, there is no line at check-in, and you are never hustled by prostitutes, pimps, or marketers. In my opinion, this is the only place to stay. It is expensive for a very good reason. In this case, you get exactly what you pay for... I found no fault with this luxury hotel. The water pressure is great, service is prompt, and the concierge is able to achieve monumental feats on very short notice.
Staff really understood customer service. Hotel was cold - food expensive and medicore at best.
Loved that it was non smoking and non gaming! Beautiful pool, free yoga class and close to everything. The restaurants were also very good.
The Mandarin Oriental is great for travelers who come to Vegas for a comfortable, luxurious stay and want to avoid the crowds, the smokey casinos, and the noise of the strip that is present at other hotels. The staff there is incredibly professional and courteous and very well trained. We had an amazing stay and every part of our experience was top-notch - and we are seasoned travelers who often stay in nice hotels. I appreciate too that the entire hotel was non-smoking. The prices are high, but you often get what you pay for... however I think the spa prices, even for basic services, are quite steep - such as $120 for an express pedicure.
Sevice is very good. But sometimes too good just makes you uncomfortable. The room is very nice, the tub in bathroom is gorgeous. Overall, the gotel is worthy to live. Even the price is a little high, so I would recommend to live when there are some special deals.
Has class and sophistication. The staff is wonderful And the location is perfect. Great food and service.
I liked that you were in Vegas but this hotel was a little eacape from the craziness I didn't like that our room faced the busy bridge from the shops and Aria so there was noise all night long
Awesome spa.
I like serenity yet convenient of everything for leisure. Excellent service!!! I strongly recommend to anyone!! Sarah
Beautiful facility, modern design, very well maintained and clean. We really liked the room and the location of the hotel. Negatives -- I had requested an upper level room when I reserved, but at check-in, I had been assigned a *very* low floor room -- Front Desk staff told me I could NOT change to an upper floor room because "the booking company controls the room assignment". ??? The morning of checkout, the Front Desk informed me that I could NOT have a *15 minute* checkout extension because of my "reservation type". Also, had to wait 30 minutes outside for the valet to retrieve my car. (forced valet parking -- no self-park possible at Vdara). This was on a relatively quiet Tuesday morning -- can't imagine what the wait would have been on a busy weekend.
Great accommodation, Great staff at check in, valet & porters Pools on 5th floor & roof a very nice touch. Concierge staff were not very helpful. Mae in particular was rude & not at all helpful. Only critical comment re the suite, carpet badly worn.
I liked our room layout. Especially the view! Very romantic. Very spacious. Money well spent. Couldn't find the I've machine.
My friends and I (4 ladies in our late 20's, early 30's) traveled to Vegas to celebrate a birthday and stayed at the Marriott Grand Chateau. We selected this hotel because of the price ($207 per night), location (1 block from the strip and directly across from Planet Hollywood Mall/Casino), and room set-up (2 bedrooms with 2 full bathrooms and kitchen). The rooms were amazing and we had plenty of space to spread out and be comfortable, esp with the extra bathroom that we found extremely helpful when we were getting ready to go out at night. The only downfall is the early check-out time of 10am. Also liked that is was a non-smoking facility, which gave our lungs a break! Early checkout time (10am), but the hotel will hold your luggage for free.
Great location - across the street from miracle mile entrance. excellent staff - helpful and positive. Cozy pool - food drinks and music with lots of mid day sun. Comfortable rooms - very quiet at night with quality beds. Wi fi worked also worked well. No room service, food availability is limited. Snacks were good enough for us though. Our room had a microwave which came in handy.
The location was perfect, one block off the strip. Walgreens is also one block away, great for stocking up on groceries and goodies. The staff here is incredibly accommodating. Rooms are rather large, with full size kitchen, and washer/dryer. This hotel does not have room service. Rather small detail.
Kitchen included. Beds are comfortable and location was away from the strip so easier to get rest at night.
Used the 2 BR. Nice having room to relax. Upscale. Pool areas nice. Close to strip.
Who needs the strip when you stay here? With a west facing room, we had the best view of the strip, and city center, without all the noise. We were only a block away from the strip, and our room offered so much more Then the traditional rooms on the strip. Having a room with the kitchen helped us save money by allowing us to bring our leftovers back to the room and heat them up. That was certainly an unexpected perk! Been able to wash my clothes before coming home save me the stress of having to do laundry as soon as I get home. It was a coffee shop and market downstairs along with the fitness room, there was nothing to miss about the strip at all. Loved staying here!
Nice Hotel.
God placering på strippen, og gode muligheder for shopping. Rengøring kunne være bedre
Rigtig god beliggenhed, og rigtigt fine shoppingmuligheder. Mile Shops er et fantastisk sted at opholde sig. Casino er OK, men der er andre der er bedre. Service ved check-in er under al kritik på et hotel af denne standard. Absolut ingen flexibilitet og ikke antydningen af et smil hos servicepersonalet.
Pool området er super,og mile centeret under hotellet er fantastisk.
Pretty much over the top suite and a great bargain for the money.
Location good Cleanness was terrible when I arrived. Took hours to get the room clean. Front desk told me that they were not responsible for the cleaning of the room and a gave a toll free number of Jet Luxory which never answer and never return my calls. On my second day my surprise was to know that house keeping and daily cleaning was not included in the price. Not even beds made or give you toilet paper or soaps. Stay away from Jet Luxory Vdara, don't think you'll save a few dollars. Terrible experience ever
Location to the Strip, Aria, Cosmopolitan, Belagio, GREAT location. Quiet, building faces away from noisy Strip. Loved it! Some siren noise from Fire Dept below, not bad. Late check out because individually owned wasn't allowed.

The Dhoni-Badri jugalbandi ensured Chennai post a formidable 181/4.
In reply Mohali Kings XI stumbled against the variation of Balaji and managed only 163/9 in stipulated 20 overs. Shaun Marsh belted 38-ball 58 while Pathan stroked 18-ball 40 in a losing cause.
Balaji, who returned to competitive cricket after a two year injury lay-off, dismissed Irfan Pathan, Chawla and VRV in three successive deliveries off the final over of his spell and Chennai innings to claim the first hat-trick of the event.
Chennai joined Jaipur outfit at the top with 12 points from six wins while Mohali Kingsstayed put on the third slot with 10 pts from five wins in one lesser game than their southern counterparts.
Mohali chasing a massive 182-run victory target got off to a poor start losing Hopes and Goel in the first five overs with only 30 runs on scorecard.
However in-form Marsh and Sarwan kept Mohali (20) in the game firing 66 runs in just seven overs. Marsh batted like a man possessed on a belter of wicket. He did nothing unusual hitting the ball thro' the line for a hoard of boundaries and sixes.
Mohali looked like it will overhaul Chennai total when Marsh and Sarwan were at the wicket. However the Balaji had other ideas and executioned it to the perfection too. The comeback man got most of his wickets with a well disguised slower ones. He started the rot with Sarwan's wicket castling fiesty Windies batsman with a yorker length slower one and followed it up with the vital scalp of Marsh caught Amarnath. This dismissal left Mohali in some sort of trouble at 96/4 in the 13th over.
In the following over Amarnath, who was meted with some rough treatment by Marsh, sent Yuvraj packing when the dashing southpaw's ferocious cut was latched up by Fleming at point.
Jayawardene trying to up the scoring rate topedged a heave off Murali and Vidyut held on to the skier.
Pathan, left with an uphill task to see his side home, played a innings that matched his brother Yusuf's belligerent 38-ball 64 but proved insufficiant for Mohali's cause.
Earlier Dhoni blazed his way to 43-ball 60* while Badri played an untypical knock for his 64 in 47 balls. Mohali seamers made a fine back in the death overs after the duo forged a quickfire 91-run stand. Raina was the other major contributer with a 17-ball 26.
Chennai put in to bat didn't had a best of starts with Sreesanth packing off openers Vidyut and Fleming early on. Sree bowled an eventful first over. He started off with two successive wides and conceded two boundaries to Vidyut before inducing the Tamil Nadu Ranji batsman to edge a short of good length ball on outside the off-stump line that nipped away before kissing the bat and flew to slip cordon and Jayawardene not the one to miss the offerings.
Sree then had the out-of-sorts Fleming caught Goel at covers to reduce Chennai to 20/2 in the third over.
Badri and Raina revived Chennai Kings with a rapidfire 44 run stand. Raina was looking in good touch and looked set for a big one before being undone by an intended mighty slog sweep off Chawla that flew to Marsh (Jr) at point. Raina's departure left Chennai in a spot of bother at 64/3 in seven overs.
In came M S Dhoni and out he went dancing down the wicket to send Chawla out of park and he repeated it twice one over later to swing the momumtum in Chennai's favour. He was not in a mood to relent as he hit Hopes for a six and four in the following over.
Badri not known for big-hitting prowess, too joined the party. The workmanlike batsman played an untypical attacking innings. The prolific scorer for Tamil Nadu in Ranji Trophy cut, drove, pulled, lofted, and paddle swept to score his runs around the park. He hitt as many as six boundaries and three sixes in his 47-ball knock before a lofted off-drive off VRV flew straight to Yuvraj.
Sreesanth, who spoiled the rhythm of freely scoring Dhoni-Badri with a disciplined 16th over conceding as few as 4 runs, returned with 2 for 29 in his four overs.
Mohali Kings' seamers Sreesanth, VRV and Hopes tied down Dhoni and Morkel in the death overs with a hoard of yorkers and fuller length balls.

michael kors longchamp
medium longchamp toteShopping for the men in your life is not always easy, because let's face it, you can only give them so many kooky printed socks and hand-knitted scarves. If you don't want to spring for a signed original on eBay, printed reproductions of many concert posters can easily be found online at super-reasonable prices. You can't squash his desire to travel and explore every continent on the planet, but you can outfit him with a suede weekender bag that will hold everything he needs while roaming. The bucket bag is vintage that I found at Upside Dive on Queen Street East in Toronto.I travel with my two favourite lipsticks, I only wear one at a time though, Nars "Heat Wave" and "Amsterdam"ˇŞI dig the matte lip look. This luxe leather number looks like an envelope clutch bag that wouldn't look out of place in a bar or club.

My mate James is the artistic director of the Royal & Derngate Theatre in Northampton. He has complained for years that I never see his productions unless they are in London. He's right. I enjoy the theatre more and more, but it's not generally the sort of thing I'd leave London for, especially if it isn't Shakespeare.
Yet here we are in Northampton, with James and Eve and Henry and my wife, and naturally it's Felix Yu that we've come to. I say naturally because many critics who have come to these parts seem to have tasted the best of his Cantonese wok, and also because it is roughly 30 seconds from the stage on which we'll later see a production of Patrick Marber's Dealer's Choice. And by critics I mean both foodies and thesps, because this is where the latter hang out too.
The interior is surreal going on seedy. I know it's a dreadful cliché to say your local Chinese place looks like something Kurt Russell conquered in Big Trouble in Little China, and that you're half expecting Lo Pan, the sorcerer with a green laser beam coming out of his mouth, to deliver the dim sum; but then again that is exactly what comes to mind in this dim, cavernous room. The ceilings are low, the lights similar, the music a little oppressive and the artwork and furnishings nondescript.
But perhaps more than with any other restaurant culture, Chinese demands you focus on the food. Whereas the French or Italian, say, want you to notice the décor and cutlery, the Chinese want you to notice the frog legs are sticky and the hoisin duck tender.
The menu is long, with 85 options and a choice between three fixed-price menus. The first is £36.80 for seven dishes with rice, for a minimum of four people; the second is a seafood selection of five courses with egg-fried rice at £34.80, for a minimum of two people; and the third is a cheaper option, five courses plus special fried rice for £24.80. The last of these is excellent value.
From the appetisers, the sesame prawn on toast (£5.80) is crunchy if a little overcooked and greasy, but the soft-shell crab with yuzu kosho (£8) – a paste made from chilli and the yuzu fruit – has none of those defects, being a succulent taste of the sea in light batter. The grilled spicy quail (£7.50), meanwhile, comes with peppercorn, chilli and a delicious dose of lemon grass, which cuts through the heat with a citrus twang.
There is a substantial vegetarian selection – notable here because it is often absent from a cuisine notorious for frying the limbs of amphibians and higher mammals. The menu's description of the aromatic crisp beancurd (£9.50) makes this point well: "For too long have vegetarians been excluded from the experience of consuming the Favourite Crisp Duck." The crisp tofu with chilli plum sauce (£5.50) is excellent; and the mixed vegetable-and-sweetcorn soup is one of the cheapest and healthiest dishes available at £3.50.
Among the meaty and main courses, all the usual Cantonese delights are here. The crisp shredded chilli beef (£8.50) is a definite highlight: think Twiglets but even more intense in Marmite taste, yet made of beef. If you closed your eyes for a taste test, you might not guess what you were eating; similarly, to look at these little rascals without eating them, you wouldn't know there was beef inside. That's half the trick of Heston Blumenthal's more eccentric recipes, at a snip of the price.
We also have Chairman Mao's braised pork belly (£8.80), which is very fatty pork slow-cooked and gone for a swim in chilli, cumin and lashings of soy sauce. And James's local knowledge leads him to the sweet-and-sour pork Mummy Style (£8.80), which as far as I can make out is more slow-cooked pork, but this time more dry than fatty and doused in a sweet vinaigrette.
There is an unexceptional but inoffensive wine list, and the main dessert is big wedges of juicy oranges, which makes a nice change.
You'd have to be fanatical about Cantonese cooking to go to Northampton just to see Felix; but if you happen to be there, you'd have to hate the stuff not to have a memorable time – especially if you make it to the Derngate over the road later on.

Four more foodie notes from the week
Buffalo mozzarella
In Amalfi last week, I sampled the best mozzarella I've ever had – and they have it for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
At Baker & Spice in Belgravia, I discovered that this breakfast favourite can be very greasy – and therefore calorific.
Black-truffle pasta
At Parliament hang-out Quirinale in Westminster, I enjoyed myself immensely courtesy of a stonking truffle menu on the go right now.
Almond cream
I'm getting into this as a milk alternative. The upside: extra calcium, great taste. The downside: it's not milk.Reuse content
