David Sedaris on China and Chinese food
- Robert Lauriston Jul 16, 2011 02:30 PM
"Hugh ... said he couldn't eat sea horses because they were friendly and never did anyone any harm, this as opposed to those devious, bloodthirsty lambs whose legs we so regularly roast with rosemary and new potatoes."
"... the rest of the world isn't like America, where it's become virtually impossible to throw a dinner party. One person doesn't eat meat, while another is lactose intolerant, or can't digest wheat. You have vegetarians who eat fish and others who won't touch it. Then there are vegans, macrobiotics and a new group, flexitarians, who eat meat if not too many people are watching."
re: Robert Lauriston
Hilarious. I think you either REALLY like Sedaris or you don't. No point dissecting his commentary - he's an equal-opportunity offender.
re: Nyleve
Nyleve, what a refreshing comment.
re: HillJ
Actually one of my favourite Sedaris pieces is about how he and his partner, during a time when they were apartment hunting in Paris, took a trip to Amsterdam and visited the Ann Frank house. Sedaris ends up spending the entire tour imagining this site - an iconic holocaust memorial of sorts - as if it were a piece of real estate for sale. He envisions renovations etc. I thought it was hysterical but I'm sure some would have found it extremely offensive. He cares little for political correctness and I appreciate that.
re: Nyleve
That's one of my favorite stories, too.
re: linguafood
Ditto. Sometimes (we) take ourselves too seriously. Sedaris, both David & Amy hit my funny bone.
I've always enjoyed reading and listening to David Sedaris. This piece was a real exception.
re: gothlig
Join the club. I've travelled a bit in China and a lot of what he says is complete balderdash.
re: buttertart
Folks, stop trying to defend something from the evil David Sedaris. Most of what he says begins with something true and evolves into complete balderdash. And therein lies the humor.
re: chicgail
re: chicgail
There's a line between humor and racist invective and Sedaris went WAY over the line.
re: soupçon
Racist? Ugh.
re: soupçon
I didn't think this was his best work, but Sedaris? Racist?
There are different cultural mores and standards in different parts of the world. To say so (and to say so from the perspective of someone like Sedaris who acknowledges that he is just a little OCD) is not racist.
You are entitled to your interpretation. Is this the first thing of his that you've read/heard from him?
re: linguafood
It would also be worth pointing out that Sedaris is addressing national and regional characteristics (caricatured, yet) and not racial ones. There is a distinction to be made here. Also, 'invective' is simply too strong a word to be applicable here. (And if soupçon really think that the colourful descriptions are singular to this case, s/he has obviously not read Sedaris's descriptions of his brother...)
re: Lizard
...........s/he has obviously not read Sedaris's descriptions of his brother.........
You mean Paul- "The Rooster"? Every family has one :D
re: sedimental
shit yeah dude, little fucker's like born of motherfucking aliens I tell ya.
and I would agree with Lizard it's more of a regional assessment, out here in middle of nowhere US these characteristics are certainly not unheard of.
re: hill food
Exactly. Laughing at the irony in culture, traditions, dysfunction, family, work, whatever....it makes a moment in time humorous -in an otherwise very serious world. I say...........good on 'em. There are plenty of English, Irish, Chinese, American, Japanese, etc. "spitters", farters, weird brothers, mothers that drink too much, pervy uncles, holiday traditions, etc. that we *should* call attention to and get a chuckle from. Equal opportunity funny.
re: sedimental
He can be very poignant as well, as in the stories about his mother's dying of lung cancer. And his commentary after 9/11 really hit home: Originally from upstate NY, then raised mostly in NC, as an adult he lived for a long time in NYC. He said something to the effect that he lives in Paris, but it is not his home.
Home is the place where, when something bad happens there, your instinct is to drop everything and get back there to be with, and try to help, those who are suffering. He is judgmental and mocking of no one so much as he is of himself,
inherently shy, and with a very big heart.
re: greygarious
I think you hit on a really important aspect of this particular vignette - he mocks himself as much, if not more, than anyone else. He definitely expressed discomfort with personal habits he encountered in China, but he seems to recognize that a lot his negative experience was due to his own personal quirks.
re: greygarious
you nailed it exactly, greygarious.
re: soupçon
David Sedaris, racist? Now, that's hilarious! Seriously dude, that's the most ridiculous thing ever. Clearly you're unfamiliar with him or his work. He's the exact opposite of racist. And throwing that word around ignorantly is just wrong.
On a lighter note... my husband is in China right now. Just before he left I read him this Sedaris piece after I saw it on NPR's FB wall. We had a good laugh and I do think he may have packed a few extra protein bars - ha! But, he has thoroughly enjoyed the food he has had in Shanghai and I've enjoyed his photos that he has sent me.
re: buttertart
My wife's family travels to China quite a bit - they are Chinese Malaysians. The things they've mentioned about these things in China are somewhat similar to DS's assessment - mostly the hacking, spitting, nosespraying and smoking. In fact, I've seen my FIL do his share of spitting and nose spraying himself (don't get me started on the cigarette smoking). These habits carry over from the old country to here in LA as well. I regularly visit the San Gabriel Valley and often observe (usually) older guys hacking, spitting and nose spraying in shopping center parking lots. I'm glad they at least have the decency to do it outside. They also tend to line up outside grocery stores and smoke like nobody's business (and hack/spit/nosespray) while waiting for the families to finish their shopping.
The one that really caught me off guard was after letting a handful of old ladies exit the door at the market, as I started to walk in, I felt a hand on my shoulder, got pushed aside as this really old guy with a cane walked through. I was flummoxed as to what happened but I was even more confused as to how that old guy could be so strong!
As the saying goes, it is what it is. They're there and we're here.
re: Evilbanana11
I really don't think that's the reason he did that...
re: small h
They spit more than cobras over there...
re: bulavinaka
Oof, I would not like that at all. I live close to Manhattan's Chinatown, which is spittier than the rest of Manhattan (although the rest of Manhattan is hardly a spit-free zone). But it sounds like Beijing would take some getting used to, for me.
re: small h
holy crap try going to a university that is very popular with chinese students
the bathrooms are spitsville!
re: small h
I remember walking on the edge of Chinatown in NYC a couple years ago and this woman in front of me lets a big spit go and barely misses me. Not nice.
re: small h
The spitting, the vomiting, the pooping ... I love China, but it is horrifying on that front. I happen to think the food is delicious, generally speaking, but I've paid for it with some public vomiting of my own every time I've gone. (Maybe my body was just trying to fit in...)
re: Papuli
re: Papuli
I love Chinese food...in Canada. I actually had not heard or read too much about this side of China except around the campaign to reduce public spitting during the Olympics. I initially read this piece by Sedaris with a skeptical eye, but when I shared this article with friends who have been to China recently, none of them so far have suggested it is off base.
re: T Long
@T Long @southeritalian Yup, any bodily function can you think of. It's really just a cultural difference (in China, you get rid of the nastiness when you can), but it becomes a bigger deal because it's an issue of hygiene. And listen, I was horrified to throw up in public there; I was just that sick. And I tend to think getting sick is just luck of the draw, which is why I don't travel to China with my own Costco pack of chopsticks from home, as I saw other tourists do.
re: Papuli
Anyone queasy about all of that should also avoid running long races because you'll see that there, too. Nothing like running and having to avoid bodily liquids from the runner in front.
re: mariacarmen
I've read most of his books and "Thank you Robert, for this .. I'd not seen it." In one of his books he talks about having, as a teenager, a driving learner's permit. Well, he manages to sideswipe a mailbox and his father yells at him, telling him he could have killed someone. He said he threw away the permit, "his nerves were shot" .. (that's the part I think is so funny) and from then on he just arranges to live in cities with good public transportation systems.
re: soupçon
Sorry,have to agree with the author.Work in the country and area monthly(Mainland,Hong Kong and Macau).Different cultural standards concerning hygiene.The most public nose picking,phlegm spewing culture I have seen and I have been world wide.Agree that Japanese culture has different hygienic and aesthetic standardsAlthough there is much great food especially seafood,fish and greens,much of the organs,innards and other preparations are a turn off to me.Was bit last week by something(spider maybe) in a Hong Kong restaurant that resulted in severe allergic reaction and doctor visit.However that could happen anywhere in the world.
re: soupçon
Xenophobe asshole? Maybe, maybe not. But he didn't write anything that isn't basically true. In Beijing people spit in restaurants, classrooms, on the sidewalk and wherever else they feel like it. The nose-blowing thing is common, and the feces thing is only slightly exaggerated.
I wouldn't call Beijing a great food city within China either. When I'm away I miss the excellent handmade noodles and steamed dumplings that you can get at even the cheapest places, but that's about it. Many other northern dishes are too greasy or salty for my taste.
re: Kagemusha
So my guess is that you haven't read anything he's written about his family, or his earlier life?
re: Lizard
Quite a bit, actually. It's a repugnant schtick that's worn thin, this latest piece being a good example of a style that's neither informative or particularly funny. Too knowledge dependent, I guess?
re: Kagemusha
<<repugnant schtick that's worn thin>>. As my mother used to say, "that's why there's chocolate and vanilla."
Wow. I'm amazed at how many people totally missed the point. He's funny. And he'll take on anything. Sedaris talks that way about everything in every country he's been in. Including his own family. This is humor, people. Irony. Exaggeration. Not an indictment of a culture or a people.
Here's the story that first got him noticed.
re: chicgail
It's useless to explain the concept of humor to those who don't understand it.
re: linguafood
linguafood, you started it perfectly. Hilarious that Sedaris is labeled as a xenophobe, particularly by someone who is unfamiliar with his discourse. Stick with Dean Koontz, people.
re: chicgail
I think his humor comes across a lot better for many once it is heard live. If you read it in his voice and intonations...
re: bulavinaka
You are so right about that. I have read all his books and I love him. Last year I bought some CD's of his though...OMG they are even more funny. When his stories are heard in his own little ironic semi depressed voice .... hysterical.
re: bulavinaka
agree, i've seen him read and "perform" his pieces several times, had him sign a couple books and he has always been charming and self-effacing in person - a very sweet man. i cannot imagine anyone being further from a xenophobe or an asshole. he's writing from his own point of view, his own experience, his own impressions, and he makes it pretty clear that he believes some Americans (i.e., HIM) have a hard time getting used to SOME cultural differences. It's HIS opinion. And i find him absolutely hilarious, witty, intelligent, and wry. Live and on the written page.
re: mariacarmen
I've also had the pleasure of attending a Sedaris book reading in a concert hall. It makes a tremendous difference to hear Sedaris read his own books. Because since seeing him live when I read his new stories I HEAR him reading it and the words have a funnier impact.
I have always loved his commentary on Paris.
Thanks for sharing this article, I would have missed out.
Well if he's supposed to be a comedic writer than he's not exactly David Mitchell (an actual hilarious person).
What he's writing is exactly what a lot of foreigners think of China already so if it's hyperbole it doesn't really work here and all this article does is reaffirm the rather unfairly negative view people have of China already.
And the comparisons to Japan...really?!
pseudo-Chinese food in Raleigh in the 1970's could probably put anyone off Chinese cuisine permanently.
re: Kagemusha
I recall seeing more of the former on the street and in the subways in NYC than I do in China (and not very often in NYC either). Spitting, yes.
re: buttertart
Agreed. Who needs a tour of the sewer in a glass-bottom boat?
re: Kagemusha
Thankfully, nobody *has* to read any of David Sedaris' stories, if they are so inclined.
re: linguafood
I love his stuff usually - but I was taken aback at the tone of this one.
re: buttertart
It's not nearly as funny as most of his stuff, agreed.
OTOH, if I were surrounded by people hacking up phlegm all day (one of my few sensitivities in life) for weeks at a time, I might be lacking my usual sense of humor, too.
re: linguafood
Was he there for weeks at a time? We have been. This strikes me as partaking of the bash China sentiment that you see a lot these days. It's truly not as bad as he portrays it (and yes, some of the exaggeration is for comedic effect, obviously), either in Beijing (where we were decidedly off the tourist track) or any of the other cities we've visited.
re: linguafood
I think that is what I liked best about the story.
re: buttertart
I liked Me Talk Pretty One Day but didn't care for his follow up book for the same reason I don't care for this article. I've never heard him talk (pretty...) but might like him better if I did. In my mind, I hear him sounding whiney with articles like this one.
re: chowser
The articles that have been in the New Yorker recently have been fall off the couch laughing funny (I presume a travel book is in the works?). I haven't read all of his stuff.
re: Kagemusha
Probably because he was always looking down...
re: Kagemusha
Yah, weird. Cause that's some hee-larious shit for a short story.
LOL, Just watched Shrek with my daughter and I laughed so hard when he said 'better out then in I always say'..made me think of this article.
re: hill food
I've tried to read his stuff before and I just don't find it funny. I started this piece and again I couldn't finish. Yes, some of what he says is true but it's not like the subject matter hasn't been written about before by everyone who's traveled to China from a "clean" country. To me it's trite.
re: Worldwide Diner
I'm not defending this piece, but a few folks posted they hadn't read him til now and I felt that bit of back story was crucial to at least understand his perspective (nobody needs to like this one) I have yet to read this one, but the premise would seem to be a too easy shot.
(edit) ok read it, and yeah he's done better.
re: hill food
I think he can be funny and liked Me Talk Pretty One Day, as I said above, but I find some of his comments about other countries to be kind of like "Ugly American who is appalled that the rest of the world isn't to his liking."
re: chowser
Seems no one here has read any Giles Coren, my favorite food writer. Sedaris isn't a patch on him.
re: Kagemusha
Never heard of him before this - but of course UK authors are much less well-known in the US than in Canada. What books must I get?
re: Kagemusha
Sedaris isn't a food writer. And I thought trying to compare his style of comedy (comic writing, really) to that of David Mitchell was a stretch!
re: chowser
Actually, far from it. In Me Talk Pretty One Day he roundly puts down Ugly American tourists complaining about Paris. He also takes jabs at his own Greek heritage, and is generally self-mocking. I have been a fan since hearing his first piece on NPR, must be close to 20 years ago. Like Garrison Keillor's work, Sedaris's is best enjoyed in audiobook format, as he reads it aloud.
re: greygarious
the NPR work in 1991 was the first I had heard of him (word to the wise - don't listen to Santaland Diaries while in a car during LA's rush-hour unless you're fully cathetered) but yes his cadence and tone do add a lot to the writing. the 'ugly American' theme does recur in his work, but half the time it displays his discomfort in trying so hard to be the easy-going cool, go-with-the-flow person that he clearly and admittedly is not and what that costs him.
which is why this work pales, and seems unfinished, he never laughs at himself except a faint allowance that Japan is perhaps the only place outside of a surgical suite he'd feel the most at home - and then he goes to China...
re: MsDiPesto
It's a real buyer-beware climate in many parts of China from what I've been told. My in-laws go at least annually, I regularly run into folks who've lived various cities there for months to years, and they all say pretty much the same thing - you do have to be careful. Quality of food and ingredients (when cooking at home) can be a problem but the issue of "counterfeit" food (e.g., fake eggs!) is becoming more of an issue as well. I know for folks who either don't get Sedaris or just don't care for his kind of humor/satire have an issue with this piece, but it really is light compared to the real issues that folks there face every day.
re: bulavinaka
I'm late to this party, but thank you SO much for posting that. It was hilarious, and I probably shouldn't have read it at work, i think others can hear the muffled snorting.
I hope Sedaris will have a new book out soon with more of the same. His last one was a touch dark.

Tech News & Commentary
By PATRICK SEITZ
Posted 07/03/2014 02:57 PM ET
Speech-recognition technology provider Nuance Communications (NASDAQ:NUAN) has been roiled in recent weeks by sale rumors and reports that Apple might drop Nuance from its Siri voice response app in favor of its own technology.
Since hitting an all-time high of 31.15 in February 2012, Nuance stock has struggled. It hit a low of 13 last November and has risen since then on hopes for a buyout. Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) and Samsung have been rumored as possible acquirers of Nuance.
Wired reported Monday that Apple has built its own speech-recognition software team by poaching engineers and managers from Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) and Nuance.

Apple wants to catch up to Microsoft and Google (NASDAQ:GOOGL) in the neural network approach to speech-recognition technology, which has leapfrogged the algorithms Nuance uses, Wired says. Neural network voice-recognition tech focuses more on context and the relationship among words to increase accuracy.
Nuance was up nearly 1% to below 19 in afternoon trading in the stock market today. It has experienced above-average trading volume for most of the past two weeks-plus.
Speech recognition is expected to play a big role in smartwatches by letting users get responses from natural language questions and commands. People can speak into their wristbands to get information and take action rather than fumbling for their smartphones. Apple, Google and Microsoft are among the companies pursuing smart wearable devices.
Nuance's speech recognition technology is used in desktop PC dictation software, telephone call centers and mobile devices. The company is headquartered in Burlington, Mass. Nuance's mobile speech-recognition tech powers apps from AccuWeather, Domino's Pizza (NYSE:DPZ), Geico and others.
As of March 31, activist investor Carl Icahn had taken a 19% stake in Nuance.
Nuance has seen five straight quarters of year-over-year declines in earnings per share. Sales growth has been anemic. Nuance has had four consecutive quarters of single-digit revenue growth.
Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters don't see things improving the recently closed June quarter. For its fiscal third quarter, Wall Street is targeting Nuance to earn 27 cents a share, down 20.6% from a year earlier, on sales of $499 million, up 1.8%.

NXP Semiconductors (NASDAQ:NXPI), which designs chips that enable secure mobile payments, hopes to get a lift from Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL). The Netherlands-based company provides chips for the iPhone 6, and some analysts think it's a supplier for the new Apple Pay app. Yet NXP's customer base is ...

Remember that new issue you bought awhile back this year when it was breaking out of a first-stage IPO base? Up 7% in heavy volume with solid fundamentals? A thing of beauty.

|dont do them
jeez over 1000 views....
After you finish vacuuming the living room you hear the doorbell ring. You answer it to find a tall man with blond hair neatly gelled back. He wore sun glasses in which you could see his catlike pupils glowing a yellow with hint of orange. His outfit consisted of a long sleek glossy leather coat, leather gloves, sleek leather pants and matching leather boots. He smiles at you but it comes off as more sinister then friendly "Did you happen to favourite apiece from Mobis-New-Nest gallery?" Albert Wesker asks in a British accent. With a sceptical look you nod. He then attempts to reach and grab you but is suddenly stopped when someone grabs and knocks him down away from your door. Soon the front of your property becomes a battle ground as Wesker spars with another man who was hulking with muscle and has an emblem on his side arm that reads BSAA. A woman had also joined the sprawl. She was toned, had dark skin, a pony tail hair style and a scantily clad outfit with a BSAA emblem. Wesker had been finally restrained "SHEVA DO IT NOW!" yelled the BSAA male but Wesker managed to break free and kicks Sheva back. Wesker grabbed the BSAA male and flipped him over "Nice try Chris but you're going to have to do better than that" said Wesker as he brought his black boot down hard in an attempt to stomp on Chris but Chris evaded quickly while Sheva jumped in with a knife in one hand and a syringe in the other; she desperately tries to hit Wesker with either; though Wesker evades her onslaught. He then sees an opening from her attacks and knocks her back. Sheva is sent flying back and lands hard on her back which leaves her stunned. Chris then tries desperately to land a punch on Wesker but is quickly subdued when Wesker grabs him by the throat. Chris desperately punches Wesker's arm trying to loosen the grip on his throat but it's to no avail. "Time to finish this" says Wesker with a sinister smile. Wesker clenches his free hand into a fist to deliver the final blow. Wesker has his back turned to you. You then see the syringe on the ground by Sheva; you quickly grab it and lunge at Wesker. You plunged it into his back and inject the serum into him. He lets out a cry of agony while dropping Chris. Wesker drops to his knees, clenching at his throat as he coughs profusely and then collapses face first and is left immobilized. Chris walks over to Sheva and helps her up. They both approach you "We owe you our lives" Sheva says smiling as he wipes the blood off her lower lip "You having the makings of a fine BSAA member one day" says Chris as he hands you a folded card and piece of paper. Chris places the cuffs on Wesker then lifts his body and throws it over his shoulder then places it in the back of a hummer. Chris and Sheva give you their thumbs up then board their hummer and disappear down the road. You look at the paper that reads *BSAA Application* then you open the card that has funny looking logo of white whale in an orange background. Inside the card it reads 'Thank you for faving a piece at Mobis-New-Nest'

STAGE TUBE: Letterman Celebrates 20 Years on the Late Show
On Thursday night, David Letterman celebrated his 20th year on CBS Bill Murray, who was Letterman's first guest on the Late Show on August 30, 1993.
When Murray, now 62 years old, came onto the stage, Letter man said, "Wow...Delightful. I didn't know you had a dog." Murray responded, "I had to get something that went with this outfit," then laterjackhammered the floor and found a time capsule filled with things from 1993 (included was a newspaper with a headline about Jay Leno, and a hairpiece Murray said Letterman had worn on his first show.)
Check out the video below!
Letterman recently surpassed friend and mentor Johnny Carson for having the longest late-night hosting career in the United States of America.
Letterman is also a television and film producer. His company Worldwide Pants produces his show as well as its network follow-upThe Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson. Worldwide Pants has also produced several prime-time comedies, the most successful of which was Everybody Loves Raymond, currently in syndication.

In response to increased demand for maritime services in the region, Elliott Bay Design Group (EBDG),a naval architecture and marine engineering firm, is currently expanding its Gulf Coast operations to accommodate a staff of 20 by 2014.
"We're seeking naval architects, marine engineers and designers of all disciplines," stated EBDG Gulf Coast General Manager, Keith Keller.
Driving the expansion is a growing client list and brisk demand for the firm's long-standing expertise with vessel design, production support and lofting systems modeling. Increasing its staffing capacity enables EBDG to continue providing its clients with the best support possible at every stage of vessel design, construction support and regulatory liaison processes.
Since reopening its Gulf Coast Office in 2012, EBDG has garnered much attention for its exemplary OSV work on the Gulf Coast, attracting a steady flow of clients and projects both nationally and internationally, and the demand continues.

Seahawks' Browner questionable for opener
Seattle cornerback Brandon Browner has missed the past two practices and is questionable for the Seahawks' game Sunday at Carolina.
Seattle Times staff reporter
RENTON – Seahawks cornerback Brandon Browner is questionable for Sunday's opener at Carolina with a hamstring injury.
Browner, a starting corner opposite Richard Sherman, didn't practice the past two days because of the injury.
If Browner doesn't play, the Seahawks will rely on Byron Maxwell and Walter Thurmond to fill his role. Thurmond is Seattle's starting nickelback, but he could slide outside to take Browner's place. Maxwell is a backup outside corner.
Both drew positive reviews in the exhibition season.
Harvin optimistic
Percy Harvin, Seattle's injured wide receiver who was expected to be out three months after offseason hip surgery, caused a little stir Wednesday with a tweet that hinted at a possible return in Week 7:
"What's goin 12th man just checkn in ...I'm making serious progress ...keep an eye on week 7...don't hang them 11's up.....we workn"
Coach Pete Carroll, though, tempered Harvin's projection but said his recovery has gone well.
"He's given himself a chance to hit that mark," Carroll said. "That's optimistic, but he's thinking it's real and we're going with it and we'll see what happens."
• DE Cliff Avril is listed as doubtful for Sunday with a hamstring injury, but Carroll said the Seahawks wouldn't rule him out until seeing how he feels Sunday.
• DTs Brandon Mebane and Tony McDaniel, both of whom were expected to start inside this season, are expected to play after being limited earlier in the week.
• OL James Carpenter is expected to play. Carpenter missed part of the exhibition season with a foot injury. He will back up starters J.R. Sweezy and Paul McQuistan at guard.
• Carroll said DE Chris Clemons will fully participate in practice starting next week. Clemons spent all offseason recovering from ACL surgery.

Bizarre, Fleshy Sculptures by Francesco AlbanoJuxtapoz // Thursday, November 21, 2013
We're not sure what type of creature these piles of sagging, deformed, empty skin belonged to but we sure don't want to meet them. Reminding us slightly of certain Asger Carlsen photos, these sculptures by Francesco Albano are certainly disturbing. Albano sees the skin as the nearest boundary between internal and external identity, a kind of storage space, and "bone" as a stable structure that sustains our physical presence and makes us complete.
The Work of Samira HodaeiErotica // Wednesday, November 20, 2013
The works of the Iranian artist Samira Hodaei remind the viewer of writings of Persian poetry. Haunting, double-edged, rich in symbolism and complexity. But clearly the most distinctive feature of the artist's oeuvre is to be found in her unusual technique. Samira Hodaei applies meticulously tiny dots of glass paint to the canvas millimeter for millimeter that are based on photographs...

In just a few weeks, the streets of Wynwood in Miami will be flooded with people, mostly artists, and a whole lot of spray paint fumes. Every year during Art Basel this industrial section of Miami hosts a sizeable amount of walls to artists of all kinds, the majority being street artists and graffiti writers. The Ukrainian duo, Interesni Kazki , already got a jump start before all the chaos (probably a smart move) and painted an entire building with their highly imaginative imagery. Check out some of these detail photos because there is a lot of detail!

The major problem with Viktor's passive is that not only it costs you gold, but it also takes up an item slot.
The new upcoming change to Elisia's miracle actually sheds light on how solve this problem
Simply add 1 sentence to Viktor's passive:
Evolving Technology (Passive)
Viktor starts with an item that takes up one of his item slots, the Hex Core, that provides him with stats and can be upgraded in the store to augment one of his abilities and improve its stats. The Hex Core can only be upgraded once, for 1000 gold, and cannot be sold back to the store. Hex Core: Grants Viktor 3 ability power per level. If Viktor gains 3 levels while holding upgraded Hex Core, that item disappears from inventory and the item's bonuses become Viktor's innate passive.
It will free one slot from Viktor's inventory and it will also fit with name of the passive and Viktor's champion concept. Viktor 'evolves' by becoming one with his Hex Core machine piece thus gaining its bonuses as his own innate passive.
Join the Glorious Evolution!
Thank you for your comments.
Requirement for hex core integration doesn't need to be gaining 3 levels. It was just one example.
Maybe we can change it to like 2 level or 5 kill/assist. Important thing is, as Elisia's Miracle mechanics, upgraded hex core should disappear from inventory so that Viktor gets his item slot back.
Why the delay? Why not have it so the core becomes his passive when you upgrade it?
Sonic Nova
I really like the idea, because as IonDragonX said, if he doesn't make up his mind on what he wants to upgrade the Hex Core into by lvl 15, then he just left another slot preoccupied without taking advantage of the new passive.
So basically, because we want to punish people who don't pay attention to their passive, we're going to make it waste item slots for 3 more levels...
I'm not saying it's a bad idea, I'm just wondering why it would be necessary to do it like that. Other than punishing slow players or players who can't prioritize their gold.

Wearing dress by Odivi and strappy bra by Urban Outfitters.
One of my recent obsessions in dressing is bringing on the back game in an outfit. Whether that is and interesting lingerie peek-a-boo (have you seen the gorgeous selection at UO lately?) under a mesh top or the detail of interesting straps or simply leaving your back naked. There is something very very sexy and mysterious about it.

Unless it comes to Mies van der Rohe's chairs. Then more is totally more. The Barcelona, the Brno, the Tugendhat, the MR. I want it all. You don't know you're a chair freak until you've visited the Tugendhat villa. What a bomb. I especially loved the inner furnishings but all those functional details, the house's structure and steel skeleton, wow, so ahead of that time it could be in this month's Wallpaper* and pretend it's a 2014 construction.
I won't give of much more since less is more and it is totally worth a visit and seeing for your own eyes. If you have the opportunity, go. And cuddle up those chairs for me.
Nebudu říkat víc, protože méně je více, ale hlavně protože vila opravdu stojí za návštěvu. Jestli máte možnost, jeďte! A trochu tam za mě pomazlete ty křesla.

I know, and some of you probably remember, this photodiary was meant to land half a year ago. Right after Vegas. But since I am a terrible procrastinator just like that, it's only here by now. And it feels far more appropriate at this time. Why? It's been a week since I landed on rainy LAX (yes, you're reading right – Halloween was the only rainy day around here – score Adela!), ready to start a new adventure in a new city once again. Excited? Very much so! I am now over jet lag, unpacked and settling. It feels so good. So if you feel like taking this adventure with me, be sure to follow #inadequateinLA on my Instagram or little insights and nagging #czechedinLA on my Twitter. I'll be glad to show you all the secret places I will find on my way through the city of angels.

Everyone is wearing total Alexander Wang x H&M look.
Waiting for the cableway to finally arrive. This is out of spite, really. Plus that guy at the ticket portal kept looking at Filip in a rather weird way. Hopefully he won't insist on showing our bags to him. Like this, we can still pull off between a normal siblings couple, on our way for a nice walk in the mountains, right? I mean, Filip could probably explain all the cables he's carrying but what about those special switches? "Hello, what are you up to?" Oh, nothing much, just stopping by to open a hole in space and then we'll be gone again." Not sure what his reaction to that would be. Anyway, where the hell is that cableway? Kaa will be thinking we left it up to her. And I'm not very fond of upsetting an alien telepathic, to be honest.
The hotel is a ghost town. A few well-aimed circulars and the whole hotel completely cleared. Pretty proud of myself for this. But I'm sure Kaa's taking it for granted, while explaining the diagram for all the electromagnetic shit, as per usual. Maybe she's just nervous. I would be, anyway.
The portal's open – goodbye Earth, time to fly to space now! Well, not flying, transporting, as Kaa would let you know. Whatever. In a few minutes we'll be at a whole different planet!
Goodbye mum and dad, don't be sad. Me and Filip will take care of each other. And in a few years – when that correct position of the Earth and the New Earth occurs again – you'll be able to visit. The doors in between worlds will open…
Mami a tati, nebuďte smutní. Budeme s Filipem spolu a víte přece, že se o sebe vždy postaráme. A časem snad budete moct přijet za námi, až zase nastane správné postavení Země a Nové země. A dveře mezi světy budou otevřené…
The story continues here and here.

How fashion trends and styles rotate is no surprise but it's not only my mum's pointy flats she wore when I was 5yo that are back in business, it's also one's own style that rotates throughout life, back and forth. I swear I had this exact same combination on about 11 years ago, in my first year of high school. Well not exactly the same, the peplum skirt was denim, the leggins were in 3/4 length, the Superstars had pink stripes on them… you get the idea. In other words my friend has photo documentation of it somewhere and I hope she never brings it out for public as I like to think the whole combination is more aesthetically pleasing now. It's all black, duh. What do you think? Skirt over pants / leggins, so 2003 or a better substitute for thighs?
Ph/ by me
Topshop likes to bring young British(-taught) blood to the table and I like them doing so, so after having an (ongoing) J.W. Anderson craze, I am excited about the new collaboration they came up with – Marques'Almeida x Topshop. This young duo, Marta & Paulo, starting fresh from Central Saint Martins just in 2011, are already referred to as frayed and oversized denim gods. And you know how much I love a piece of that. After succeeding and charming the buyers of Opening Ceremony, it's safe to say they are loved by the hip fashion crowd and I, like the rest of the fresh, effortless and laid-back attitude lovers, am ready to bring up that 90s kid in me with raw denim, silk and leather.
My absolute favourite from the whole collection is this leather skirt and from the pieces available in Prague it would have to be the white frayed vest and that shift dress. Super simple, still edgy.
Mů největší favorit z celé kolekce je určitě tahle kožená sukně a z kousků dostupných v Praze rozhodně bílý roztřepený top a tyhle šaty. Jednoduché a stejně cool.

Wearing jumpsuit by Topshop, biker jacket by Topshop, flouncy coat by H&M, mesh top by H&M, bracelet by Balenciaga, 'Superstar' sneakers by Adidas and bag by Parfois.
Jumpsuits work so well as a day to night thing. And not only that. Also as a summer to fall thing. Which seems a bit ironic, because an all white is not exactly a fall combination, that comes to mind, right? Well ironically I'm loving it, anyhow.

My past week has not been very creative (dressing wise, as you can see) but let's hope that Designblok '14 is here to help kickstart that creativity again.

Not meaning to sound racist here, but the best travel companion comes in white! And it comes with a 18-55mm cannon. I am talking about the new Canon EOS 100D, what did you think?
My favourite color is le blanc which comes as no surprise, I'm sure. So when it comes to picking the right technology equipment for myself, the first thing I look at is what color options it comes in rather than technical parameters. (Those come right after, don't worry.)
This little boy combines both, functionality AND white design
that looks great on Instagram pictures. It's light, it has a touch screen and it's stylish. No wonder it became my number 1 travel accessory!
To, že je zrovna bílá moje nejoblíbenější barva asi nikoho nepřekvapí. Ale vybírám si v ní i veškerou techniku. Na to, jestli je i ve světlé variantě se koukám dřív, než na veškeré parametry. (To však hned následuje, nebojte.)
Tenhle fešák je kombinací obojího, funkčnosti I bílého designu
který vypadá geniálně na Instagramovkách. Je lehký, má dotykový displej a je to prostě stylovka. Není divu, že na cesty už vyrážím jen s ním!

SEC Opens Strong in Debut of College Football Playoff Rankings
In addition to the standard set of top-25 rankings released each week, fans and teams alike also will be treated to weekly College Football Playoff rankings leading up to the final announcement on Dec. 7. For the inaugural release on Oct. 28, the SEC comprised three of the key top four slots as the Mississippi State Bulldogs checked in at No. 1, with Auburn at No. 3 and Ole Miss at No. 4, respectively, while representing the lone outlier was the ACC's Florida State at No. 2. For the College Football Playoff semifinals, the top seed will take on the fourth seed and the second-and third-seeded teams will square off, though specific sites (Rose Bowl Stadium, Mercedes-Benz Superdome) for each New Year's Day contest will be determined based on the location of the No. 1 team.
New College Football Playoff rankings will be released by the selection committee each Tuesday through the remainder of the regular season, allowing programs to see how they stack up for the playoff as well as for the other major bowl games. Finishing out the initial top 10 was Oregon, Alabama, TCU, Michigan State, Kansas State, and Notre Dame, though with several teams boasting just a single loss, the rankings are likely to change significantly come December. Begin planning early for this historic postseason event by shopping in the Vivid Seats marketplace for College Football Playoff tickets on sale now.

The first image of Jamie Foxx as Max Dillon in Marc Webb's The Amazing Spider-Man 2 has hit the web. The thinned-hair comb-over, fake teeth and large glasses completely change Foxx's look to suit the character. While promoting his last film with Quentin Tarantino, Django Unchained, Foxx said his version of Dillon "gets the short end of the stick from the whole world, and the next thing you know he turns it on." A nerdy engineer, Max Dillon is struck by lightning while at work and transforms into the supervillain Electro. Foxx's new makeover fits the comic book bad guy like a glove. Foxx sports blue, glittery bodypaint and a thick parka to play Dillon's dark side. Click here to see more photos from Spider-Man 2. ~Sarah Dos Santos
