The Fallout Vault Dweller Dunks by Jacob Patterson are the first shoes with a built-in iPod Touch. These custom sneakers are absolutely badass and took Patterson over a year and a half to complete.
The shoes are based off the popular video game series Fallout which is set in a post-apocalyptic world. This explains the torn-up design and the soldiers painted on each side of the shoes. What makes these kicks truly special though is that they have iPod Touches sewn into the the tongues. Each one is filled with sounds, themes, apps and music that are all related to the Fallout world.
The Fallout Vault Dweller Dunks by Jacob Patterson are kicks for only the most devoted gamers.

Marin Municipal Water District officials Tuesday are likely to approve a resolution calling for a 20 percent voluntary reduction in water use.
The move, which would come as the dry weather continues, would mirror a similar call made to the public by Gov. Jerry Brown last week.
Asking for the voluntary reduction is a part of the district's water shortage contingency plan. The board meets at 7:30 p.m. at 220 Nellen Ave. in Corte Madera.
"No one at the district is talking about anything but the drought, it has commanded everyone's attention," said Jack Gibson, a member of the water board.
District officials met last Friday to kick around ideas and the 20 percent voluntary cutback came to the fore.
"There is no rain, it's time to conserve, " Gibson said. "We know the community spirit is there, they have cut back in the past when asked."
For the third year in a row, the weather has been dry. As a result, reservoirs are much lower than normal for this winter season and are unlikely to fill with the spring runoff, according to the district.
As of last week the district's reservoirs contained 43,600 acre-feet — 14,200 million gallons — of water, which is 30 percent or 18,700 acre-feet — 6,100 million gallons — lower than normal for this date.
If the district's watersheds do not receive a substantial amount of rain over the next few months, the amount of water stored in the reservoirs will be less than 50,000 acre-feet on April 1.
At that point if there are less than 40,000 acre feet, a 25 percent mandatory program would be implemented. An acre foot can supply about three single-family homes with water for a year. There are 325,851 gallons in an acre foot.
The current dry year water use reduction program was adopted by the district in February 1999 in response to the extended drought of 1987 through 1992.
Marin just experienced its driest year on record. In 2013, 10.68 inches of rain were recorded at Lake Lagunitas, where the water district — which has data dating to 1879 — keeps its official weather gauge.
The previous record low was set in 1929 when 19.06 inches of rain fell. The annual average is 52 inches per year.
The Marin Municipal Water District serves about 190,000 people between Sausalito and San Rafael and gets 25 percent of its water from Sonoma, the balance coming from local reservoirs on Mount Tamalpais.
Forecasters say there is a glimmer of hope for rain at the end of this month or early February, but nothing is forecast before then.
"There will be nothing in the next week," said Austin Cross, meteorologist with the National Weather Service. "There is a hint of some rain later, but it doesn't look impressive. But something is better than nothing."

Juventus CEO Beppe Marotta has revealed that the Serie A club have made no approach to Didier Drogba with regards to signing the player in January.
Drogba has been playing for Shanghai Shenhua since June but, amidst reports that he is unhappy with life in China, the ex-Chelsea striker has been continuously linked with a move to Turin.
However, it appears that such claims have been fabricated given Juve's reaction, and the club claim that they will not look to sign the Ivorian in the upcoming transfer window.
"Drogba? No, we haven't made any contact," Marotta told Sky Italia.
"He would not be available anyway because of the African Cup of Nations.
"I don't know how people haven't realised this.
"We have scored a lot of goals this season, and the January transfer window does not always provide the best options."
Drogba, now aged 34, is currently on a contract worth £200,000 per week with Shanghai Shenhua, who currently sit ninth in the Chinese Super League.

Due to their reputation for building massive worlds, Bethesda always face questions regarding the size of their output, and Dawnguard - the forthcoming Skyrim DLC pack - is no exception.
Speaking to Shack News, lead artist Matt Carofano said Dawnguard will offer more than any of the Fallout 3 DLC packs, but less than what we saw in Oblivion's Shivering Isles.
"We wanted to do something more in depth than that," he said. "It's not as big as Shivering Isles, but there's still a lot of content there."
Carofano says Dawnguard will take between 10 and 20 hours to beat, and is "about as long as a faction line".
The Dawnguard beta opened recently to a select few lucky testers, resulting in more juicy details on the vampire-themed expansion pack.

Bejoy Narayan Mahavidyalaya is a degree college of repute, located in the midst of the pleasant greenery in the village named Itachuna, in the district of Hooghly (West Bengal) some 56 kms. away from Howrah and 52 kms. away from Burdwan. The main campus of the college is on the southern side of Khanyan railway station on the Howrah-Burdwan Main Line.
The college, founded in 1950, was initially affiliated to the University of Calcutta. In 1957 it was granted degree courses in Science and Humanities, and in 1960 was affiliated afresh to the University of Burdwan. The institution has since grown all the way into a centre of excellence in terms of its academic performance and achievements. In March 2007 the college was evaluated by the National Assessment and Accreditation Council in all its academic and allied aspects and was declared as accredited at the B++ level (scoring 84%).

There's a big gap between being one of the world's top amateurs and a touring professional, but Peter Uihlein is making the transition.
After a relatively quiet start following his arrival into the paid ranks, Peter has now paid his dues and is reaping the benefits of what he has learned in Europe and elsewhere.
Four rounds in the 60s – a fine achievement in itself – was enough to secure Peter fourth place in the inaugural Tshwane Open – his best performance on the European Tour.
Now I think Peter will train on faster than he already has and will be keen to impress when he has a shot on the PGA Tour this week in Puerto Rico.
Also top 10 hits in South Africa were Romain Wattel and David Howell, while James Kingston's closing 65, the second lowest of the day, pushed him into 16th alongside Ross McGowan, who is thankfully clear of the injuries which have blighted his recent seasons.
Strong performances were also recorded by Lee Westwood and Charl Schwartzel at the Honda Classic and they will be looking to build on their top 10's at this week's WGC event in Doral, which will also feature debuts there for both Chris Wood and George Coetzee.

this is the brand ive been using all season..just want to make sure its an acceptable brand
http://www.greenarrownurseries.com/albums/album176/Uni_Gro_Peat_Moss_Group.thumb.jpg |
Follow-Up Postings:
Can't tell by that picture. If it has fertilizer in it NO! Read the bag carefully. NO ADDITIVES should be in it. Just pure peat. |
I think that kind may be OK, but like Tommy said, you'd better read all the fine print on the bag. If it doesn't specifically say it's good as a growth medium or soil amendment, I would not buy it. That same Web site you got the photo from also has another brand, Sunshine, that might be worth checking out. The bad moss looks slightly green. It's not only bad for carnivores, either. It'll also kill or stunt orchids and epiphytic cacti. In fact, I suspect that it's the reason nothing grows in a flower bed where I used to dump out my pots after a plant died. |
Sphagnum only. There are many kinds of Peatmoss including some that will kill your plants very quick. Most of them contain compost. |

Angry Nerd: The French Comics That'd Make for Better Movies Than Marvel Heroes
- Thursday June 26, 2014
It's hard for him to admit, but Angry Nerd has had his fill of Marvel and DC Comics blockbusters. Instead of another big-budget movie with an oversaturated superhero, why not look to sophisticated French graphic novels for source material? Case in point: the excellent new comic-to-silver-screen adaptation Snowpiercer.

For French rusticity—a rusticity that seems to be fizzling in France—we also like Bistro Chez Jean-Pierre. The vegetable soup and the shiitake salad are highlights. But more than that, Chez Jean-Pierre is the ne plus ultra of chichi Palm Beach exhibitionism, making it perfect for people-watching. Every woman is freshly coiffed in the style known locally as the "Palm Beach helmet." These pampered types are accompanied either by their husbands or by their interior decorators. The latter are recognizable by their monogrammed velvet loafers. (Whenever I am in Chez Jean-Pierre, I always think of the following old joke: "Palm Beach is very Gay Nineties...all the women are ninety and all the men are gay." Ba-boom!) If a casual night out is in order, we call Ed, the maître d' of the insanely popular Palm Beach Grill, and beg for a reservation. Order your banana cream pie when you sit down. The locals are addicted to it.
As Jonny and I began to think about decorating our winter getaway, we made an interesting discovery: stylish Palm Beachers invariably dump their cast-off furniture and tchotchkes off at the South Dixie Highway vintage shops in West Palm Beach. Many of the residents decorated their groovy retirement pads during the swinging 60's and 70's. As a result, the available vintage furniture—Lucite end tables, Paul Evans chairs!—is some of the most collectible and glamorous in the world. There are zillions of great stores: my short list includes Shi & Erhard, Harris Kratz, Sabina Danenberg, C. Bell, Galere, and Objects in the Loft. If you're into doodads like ridiculous sconces adorned with ostrich feathers, then Dolce—the most wacked-out emporium on the strip—is your kind of place. (Many a Dolce objet trouvé has adorned a Barneys holiday window.) A couple of doors down, Belle & Maxwell is a homey lunchtime restaurant filled with exhausted interior decorators and their clients ingesting salads and generous wedges of homemade key lime pound cake baked by a lady called Brady, who moonlights as a showroom hostess at the aforementioned Dolce. We like her, too.
When not out on the beach in front of our pad, or lunching at the beachfront café at the Four Seasons, we are often to be found on the trail along the Intracoastal Waterway. This gorgeous nature walk has the bonus of enabling us happy hikers to see the lavish homes of the residents. The 1960's Regency pads, with their black glazed driveways and drive-through hedges, are one of the indigenous delights.
"Is there no real bona fide gritty excitement to be had in Palm Beach?" I hear you ask with a quiet desperation. Well, there is one guilty, pulse-quickening pleasure. If you like to watch bejeweled socialites duking it out for parking spaces—or, as Slim Aarons might have put it, "ancient people doing aggressive things in expensive automobiles"—there is no better place than the Publix supermarket parking lot, where you can enjoy the bumper cars to your heart's content. Who says there's no excitement here?

Twitter Tips
Most of the social media sites offer privacy policies and settings to help protect your personal data from being exploited, but you should always remember that those controls provide limited protection. The better you understand those controls, the better you control your privacy.
Facebook in particular has a large number of privacy settings, which can be confusing for the average user. They break down into some simple categories: general, friend-group based, postings on your wall from various Facebook applications, external applications, and blocking.
General Settings | Blocking |
Grouping Friends | Phishing, Hacking and Malware |
Instant Personalization | Deleting Your Account |
Facebook Ads | Official Facebook Links |
Wall Posts and Applications | Facebook Places |
General privacy settings include your username and real name, your contact information, and other general "biographical" information. You can choose whether to enter information in some of these fields, and in the required fields you can control (to some extent) who can see this information about you.
To change the settings for events you choose to attend (or not attend!), look under Account > Application Settings > Events > Settings > Privacy, and then change the setting to the permissions you desire.
However, certain information is always visible to everyone and cannot be hidden. This includes real name, profile picture, gender, and networks. Anyone searching Facebook can learn this information about you, and if you do not exempt yourself from Google searching (see below), it can be found on Google as well. Facebook offers this explanation of your general privacy settings.
Other links for general privacy topics:
- Facebook walk-throughs of various privacy areas, with FAQs
- Facebook blog post about the newest privacy settings (5/27/2010)
- Facebook video about privacy settings (includes brief mentions of public search engines, and how to block people/applications)
- This Facebook video has information about opting out of public search engines, at the 1:53 mark.
Grouping Your Friends for Privacy
One of the best ways to control the access to what you post on Facebook is to section your Friends list off into distinct groups. Common groups include Work, Family, Friends, and Friends of Friends. You can then use the Facebook privacy controls to limit access to your information by group -- for example, the Work group can be prevented from reading your status updates, the Friends of Friends group can be prevented from seeing the photos you upload, and so on. This allows you to have people from work and social contacts both on your Facebook friends list, without sharing content inappropriate to the workplace with those who might not want to see it.
As a caution, remember that mistakes can always happen, and there is rarely true privacy on the internet. Post with caution!
- This is the Facebook FAQ on Friends List and Limiting Your Profile.
- After you have grouped your friends, there is a section of this video (after the 3:30 mark) which will show you how to change your settings to limit access to various information according to those groups you created.
- This link will allow you to change the privacy of your photos and photo albums, once you've created your friend groups.
- Here is a Facebook video on sharing and privacy, with slightly more detail than the general privacy video. Just after the 2:00 mark, it describes how to limit access to posted material as you are making a post.
Facebook has partnered with some other popular social media sites to offer personalized interconnected experiences for users who visit multiple platforms, by sharing your public information with these partners. You see this with a blue bar across the top of the site, inviting you to take advantage of the program.
You can opt out of this by visiting your Privacy Settings, the Applications and Websites section, and editing the Instant Personalization area to turn off the feature.
- This Facebook video includes discussion of Instant Personalization, just after the 1:10 mark.
You may notice that Facebook offers advertisements in the right column of your Facebook page from time to time. And you may notice that it lists which of your friends have "liked" a particular advertisement! You can turn off these options.
Under Account Settings, look at the tabs at the top. Choose Facebook Ads. At the top of the page is one toggle to allow/disallow third-party ads from using information about you in crafting advertisements. You can choose to show that information to "no one", then save your changes. (Facebook indicates that this option is not currently in use, but it never hurts to opt out in advance!)
But don't stop there. Scroll down to the second setting! This controls the social ads shown by Facebook. You can choose to show your interaction with Facebook ads to "no one", and then save your changes.
This Facebook FAQ has more information on Facebook Ads.
Wall Postings and Facebook Application Postings
Ever log on to Facebook and find your feed full of posts from various games and applications that your friends play? You can exclude those messages without hiding the more relevant posts that your friends make directly. Hover over the posting by the game, and you will see a "Hide" button appear to the right of the post. Click it. A popup appears with options for what you could hide -- choose the game, and you'll never see another post by that particular game, from any friend, in your news feed again!
You can also choose to block posts by groups to your news feed -- you may wish to be a member of a particular group or a fan of a particular page, but not want their postings to appear in your news feed. Do the same thing, hover over the posting, and click "Hide". Choose to hide the group or page.
You can always change those settings back -- down at the bottom of your news feed is a link to "Edit Options".
Did you know that your friends can share information about you with applications they install, whether or not you have the application installed? This Facebook video offers tips on how to control what information is shared with applications.
Introduced in August 2010, this feature allows you to tag yourself with a location in your Facebook posts. It's similar to FourSquare and other Twitter-location applications. However, there's a twist -- others can tag you as being at a location too, whether you're there or not!
To adjust your Places settings, click on the Account tab at the top right and click Privacy Settings. Select the little blue "customize settings" towards the bottom of the screen that appears.
- You'll see a list of privacy options. Under the Things Others Share category, disable "Friends can check me in to Places." Now, only you can broadcast your location.
- You can also choose who can see your check-ins. Click the "Places I check in" pulldown under the Things I Share category. The default is "friends only." Selecting "Customize" brings up a pop-up where you can exclude entire networks, individual people, or everyone.
- Finally, you may want to disable the "People Here Now" feature under the Things I Share category . "People Here Now" allows any user checked in at a location to see who else is checked in there—even if they're not friends. Make sure the box is unchecked next to "Include me in 'People Here Now' after I check in."

Phishing, Hacking, and Malware
Did you get a Facebook message from a friend that said something like, "Hey, check out this video of me!"? Chances are, that was a spam email designed to deliver malware to your account and computer. If you don't recognize the sender, the subject line seems suspect, or there is no reason for them to send you the link... delete the message without opening it. This video has tips on bogus Facebook messages (just after the 5:15 mark).
Never give out your Facebook password or login information. Treat it as carefully as you would your personal email and banking accounts.
Deleting Your Facebook Account
If you decide to delete your Facebook account, the process isn't as easy as you might think. Here's a walk-through of the steps required.

Author ages with labor of love: exhaustive Iran encyclopedia
Ralph Ellison wrote for 40 years without finishing his novel "Juneteenth." Antoni Gaudi labored 43 years on the Sagrada Familia basilica in Barcelona, Spain, but construction continues today. And in the annals of grand quixotica, Ehsan Yarshater also deserves a prominent chapter. At 53, he embarked on his magnum opus, a definitive encyclopedia of Iranian history and culture. At 75, he started looking for a successor. He didn't find one so he kept going himself. Now he's 91. He's up to "K."
The New York Times
Ralph Ellison wrote for 40 years without finishing his novel "Juneteenth." Antoni Gaudi labored 43 years on the Sagrada Familia basilica in Barcelona, Spain, but construction continues today. And in the annals of grand quixotica, Ehsan Yarshater also deserves a prominent chapter.
At 53, he embarked on his magnum opus, a definitive encyclopedia of Iranian history and culture. At 75, he started looking for a successor. He didn't find one so he kept going himself. Now he's 91. He's up to "K."
"My mission is to finish the encyclopedia," he said recently from his office at Columbia University's Center for Iranian Studies. He knows he won't be able to do it personally, especially since the task keeps expanding as progress is made. There are topics to be added and entries to be updated. So Yarshater has tried to make sure the work will continue by establishing a private foundation with a $12 million endowment and finally choosing three scholars to replace him as general editor.
The sheer ambition of Yarshater's vision is daunting. With money from the National Endowment for the Humanities, he has worked to create the most comprehensive account of several millenniums of Iranian history, language and culture in the Middle East, the Indian subcontinent and Central Asia.
"There is nothing like it" in scope or quality, said Ali Banuazizi, a professor at Boston College and a former president of the Middle East Studies Association of North America.
Unlike a conventional encyclopedia, which briefly summarizes existing knowledge, Yarshater's work, Encyclopedia Iranica, is producing original scholarship. "Most of the articles require research," said Banuazizi, because they are topics no one has studied in much depth.
Yarshater has raised the bar further. "Our aim is that for each subject, we should find the best person in the entire world." With that in mind, he has been searching two and a half years for an expert to write about Sirjan and Rafsanjani, townships in the south of Iran.
Yarshater has not been back to Iran in 32 years, ever since the Ayatollah Khomeini overthrew the Shah of Iran and established an Islamic republic in 1979. "The encyclopedia's impartiality does not please the current Persian government," Yarshater said in a low, breathy voice. A troublesome tremor that started in his hand several years ago has moved to his knees and vocal cords, slowing him down and compelling him to use an assistant. But otherwise he feels healthy. "My immune system is excellent," he boasted.
For years Yarshater's routine was to work late into the night, coming home only when his wife walked down the hallway from their apartment to the Iranian center to fetch him. "I don't know many wives who would tolerate that," he said appreciatively. (She died in 1999; the couple had no children.)
"I've seen him work 12 hours without a break," said Ahmad Karimi-Hakkak, director of the Center for Persian Studies at the University of Maryland, who has known Yarshater for more than 40 years. He remembers a visit when Yarshater stayed up until 3 a.m. editing. Three hours later, he was in the shower, getting ready to return to work.
Yarshater expects others to have equal enthusiasm for the task. It took him 17 years to choose his replacements, rejecting one potential successor when he concluded that the man was "too concerned about the number of holidays he could take and the number of hours he would work."
Now Yarshater works only until 9 p.m., staying long after his colleagues have turned off their lights. When he returns home, he indulges in his latest hobby: learning Russian.
The 1,480 contributors from around the world who, so far, have composed 6,500 entries are familiar with Yarshater's relentlessness.
"By hook or by crook, he gets you to do what he wants you to do," Karimi-Hakkak said. (Eight hundred entries out of alphabetical order are posted in an online version.)
The managing editor, Ahmad Ashraf, said he spent a year working on an entry on social class. He received a $1,000 honorarium for his effort. "We are working here on half salary," he said. "This is just a love of the work."
Editing can be brutal. Until recently Yarshater meticulously checked and revised every entry. "Maybe I'm a faultfinder," he conceded. He tries to praise colleagues and assistants, but said, "It is not in my nature."
Because the encyclopedia is primarily a scholarly reference tool, every fact must have multiple sources. "He wanted me to write several hundred entries," said Roy Mottahedeh, a professor at Harvard. "I wrote one."
As Mottahedeh noted, Yarshater is the last of a generation of scholars who believed it possible to master the grand sweep of human history, along with several languages.
Before Yarshater embarked on the encyclopedia, he traveled throughout Iran, studying obscure dialects, and wrote a groundbreaking work in linguistics. In the 1950s he took Western classics to his countrymen by establishing a translation and publishing institute.
"I remember growing up in Iran and reading these books," Banuazizi said.
In 1961, Yarshater was appointed to teach Iranian studies at Columbia, the first full-time professor of Persian at an U.S. university since World War II.
Yarshater is already known for a series of immense undertakings: He was the general editor of a 40-volume translation of al-Tabari's 10th-century history of the world; editor of some of the Cambridge History of Iran; and the founding editor of a classic multivolume series on Persian history and language.
In the mid-1990s he was troubled that Persian poetry — in his view, his people's greatest cultural contribution — was being ignored. Most English speakers are familiar with Omar Khayyám, but they do not know about the 13th-century Rumi or the 10th-century Ferdowsi, who wrote "Shahnameh," a national epic of 50,000 couplets.
So he embarked on a new 20-volume collection of Persian literature. "That was when I realized I was suffering from a kind of disease," he said with a smile. "If something is to be done, I have a feeling that I should start doing it."

The largest film festival in Atlanta – and second largest Jewish film festival in the United States – officially began yesterday and will run through February 20.
The Atlanta Jewish Film Festival (AJFF) is a 22-day cinematic exploration of Jewish life, culture and history. Seeking to use the power of film to both entertain and educate, AJFF challenges conventional perspectives on complex and challenging issues facing both the Jewish and global communities.
Founded in 2000, AJFF ranks as the largest film festival in Atlanta, and second largest Jewish film festival in the United States, having attracted an audience of more than 30,000 moviegoers in 2012. This year, the festival will feature an international collection of 71 narrative and documentary films that explore the Jewish experience. Screenings are supplemented by guest appearances with filmmakers, actors, authors, academics and other expert speakers.
Moviegoers cast their ballots for the Best Narrative and Best Documentary features of the festival, as well as separate balloting for narrative and documentary short films. Winners receive the AJFF Audience Award and are honored with a special encore screening and statuette.
The Atlanta Jewish Film Festival is a production of the Atlanta Chapter of American Jewish Committee, an international advocacy organization that works to build bridges of understanding between ethnic, religious and national groups. It is the enduring belief of American Jewish Committee that understanding grows out of shared experiences, and stories are often the best way to foster such experiences. More than just "a night at the movies," the Atlanta Jewish Film Festival is contemporary storytelling with the ability to impact the way audiences feel, think, and behave after leaving the theater.
AJFF is the past recipient of prestigious grants from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and National Endowment for the Arts, and generously supported by more than 250 other corporate, foundation, government, and individual sponsors.
Click HERE for information regarding the AJFF and to check out the film guide + schedule. I look forward to seeing y'all in the popcorn line this February!
