Newbie want to start Space Wolves : SpaceWolves
u/himmo666
Newbie want to start Space Wolves
Hello hello, I’m going to start collecting Space Wolves and play some games but I have no idea how to make things working, Is that army list have potential to exist, I’m looking for some advices.
++ Outrider Detachment +1CP (Imperium - Space Wolves) [39 PL, 602pts] ++
Iron Priest [5 PL, 82pts]: Helfrost pistol, Servo-arm, Thunder hammer
Fenrisian Wolves [2 PL, 40pts]: 5x Fenrisian Wolf
Thunderwolf Cavalry [16 PL, 264pts]
++ Spearhead Detachment +1CP (Imperium - Space Wolves) [32 PL, 568pts] ++
Primaris Rune Priest [7 PL, 108pts]: 2. Tempest's Wrath, 6. Jaws of the World Wolf, Psychic hood, Runic sword
Long Fangs [8 PL, 110pts]
Predator [9 PL, 180pts]: Predator autocannon
++ Vanguard Detachment +1CP (Imperium - Space Wolves) [44 PL, 830pts] ++
Arjac Rockfist [7 PL, 145pts]: Warlord
Wolf Lord [6 PL, 115pts]: Frost sword, Jump Packs, Storm shield, The Wulfen Stone
Wolf Guard [9 PL, 165pts]: Jump Packs
. Wolf Guard: Wolf Claw (Pair)
Wolf Guard in Terminator Armour [13 PL, 235pts]
Thunderwolves are overcosted for what they do.
You're going to want a battalion detachment for CP.
Levimav
3. From what I heard terminators are also not worth it. Wulfens will suit you more probably and they are stronger in CC
CA seems to be dropping Terminator cost. Not sure about Thunderwolf.
yeah but still I think wulfens movement and their ´´curses´´ will benefit his army more, than squad of terminators, not to mention Deaths frenzy (5+ to ignore wound and if wulfen die and he is in cc then he fights back) but its just my opinion, if Im wrong just tell me
_Renlor
Let me start by saying Welcome to the Pack! There is a lot of information out there to read and get adjusted to in order to get into 40k. When asking for list help there are a few things that can help out the Wolf Guard in the r/ to help you get the most from the advice. That would be, what level you are playing at (which you have covered,) If you are playing competitively( ITC, ATC, ETC, NOVA)/semi competitively/casually, and If you are trying to work within the models you have. Without those questions answered, each member is going to be going off of their style and format of playing as well as their local meta. For example, If you ask about a loadout for Long Fangs and you are playing ITC and in a local meta of Hordes with a few IK you would keep your HB but switch your Las to Missiles. If you are playing in a local meta that is Knights, Custodes, Monster Nids, switch HB to Plas and keep Las, or Drop LF all together for another choice.
- No reason to take an Iron Priest unless you have 3 times his cost in things to repair. The two things you can repair are going to be usually going in two different directions. It would be better served to take a WGBL to support your LF and the Predator than the IP.
- Primaris Rune Priest with those predetermined spells, won't be of any use; he is slow and those are short ranged. Jaws is a cool fluffy power, but not effective in game since we don't have a way to reliably slow something down.
- If you are making a Drop and Kill unit of Wolf Guard with Arjac, then look at doing Storm Shield and combi weapons for the Terminators, while letting the JP assault. Especially if you give the terms combi-Plasma.
- CP with strats has made this edition awkward for Elite armies like SW. You might look at taking a Battalion to gain that +5 cp.
- TWC are pretty costly to field especially without SS. Going Chain swords helps with cost and keeps their attack higher for weight of dice. Great for opening up spots in the Tarpits for the WG to drop in.

Jun 14th 2014 1:28PM
Have you ever dreamed about a career in the stock market, but don't really know where to start? You're not alone - most people's idea of working in the investment world comes from glamorized and dramatized Hollywood movies like The Wolf of Wall Street, Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps, and Boiler Room. However, in the vast majority of cases, this portrayal isn't even close.

Posted by Sukumaran Ramadass at 12:42 PM
I do sympathise with your dilemma. Work is work is work, and though blogging helps to vent pressure, the work has still to be done. The real world exists and has to be faced, despite the joys of the virtual world. But I'm sure you know all this, as you are such a successful and dynamic person in your real life. All the best!
Thank you Sucharita Sarkar. I guess I have a solution to my problem and I have started looking for another job as I feel that my years of experience is not being utilised to the maximum.
Keeping my fingers crossed for any opening.

It’s important to have goals in life. I think having goals – and working towards them – can be more important than the details of what the actual goals are. Last April, I decided I needed a goal. I also needed more fun in my life. I married the two and created a FUN GOAL for myself, which I christened “Brewery Tourery, Ten in ’10” as it involved going on ten tours of beer breweries before 2010 ended. It was tight, but I made it. Several of my friends went on brewery tours as well; some even joined me more than once. I’ve been asked by a few people what my goal is going to be for this year. I’m still a fan of increasing the fun in my life, so 2011’s quest needs to be supportive of that. In 2011, I am going to watch eleven sports/competitions of some physical/athletic nature and then either play or try some aspect of the skill or sport – possibly adapted for practicality or increased fun. For example, I could go to the roller derby and then roller skating (ala my seventh birthday party) or to a basketball game and then hit a court at the local park with some friends. Each sport only counts once, but I am counting any level – i.e. for baseball I could go to a Little League game or an MLB game.
2.) I finally, finally, finally saw a real football game played live. It was super fun and ultra great. 3.) I’m getting a new winter coat. I am totally going to upgrade the warmth factor. I also might attempt to buy a jacket that is not blue. (I accidentally keep buying blue outerwear.)

My family bought our first cell phone – “for the family” – in the early 1990s. It was roughly the size of our smaller cat; the battery alone outweighs my current phone. And actually using that original cell phone? Emergencies only! Quick emergencies only! Quite the opposite of my current life, in which my phone is where I check and send emails and text messages, find recipes online while at the grocery store, ask “The Goog” pressing questions, get directions, play games, study for the GRE, and yes, make the occasional call. Despite all of its fancy tricks, emergency calls remain its most basic and most important function. I’m going to try not to get overly dramatic, but the most important thing your cell phone can do is aid you in an emergency. Whether it’s a life-saving call to 911 or a call to a contact during a rough situation or medical info stored in notes; your cell phone can help big time. If you do not already have an ICE (In Case of Emergency) contact stored in your phone, do it. Do it now. Continue reading ‘Effective ICE Contacts’

Some basics for consideration with speedy tactics for nutrisystem taste – Site Title
Some basics for consideration with speedy tactics for nutrisystem taste	The most common criticism is Nutrisystem is expensive. What a lot of people are unsuccessful to understand is system basically replaces day to day food stuff costs. Individuals on the whole spend among 300 and and $500 each month on groceries and taking in out. The strategy does away along with the further costs connected to snacking, eating out, and speedy food stuff.

NutriSystem delivers numerous entrees in their menu which can be definitely mouthwatering. The Breakfast And Treats: Of all of the food stuff choices, the breakfast and treats are classified as the least probably to want any preparation. The cereals only need your introducing milk or fruit. The muffins, scones, and bars are ready to try to eat.
You can consume the cinnamon roll right from the box way too, whilst it really is seriously excellent when heat. The pancakes do involve some preparation but they could be well prepared having a pan about the stove best. Even the egg frittata is produced my introducing incredibly hot drinking water. Membership Expenses Or Signing up for Fees: With nutrisystem charge, you might be only purchasing the food that you are going to eat. As soon as you sign on over the site (that is free of charge,) you might be routinely a member so you will not should fork out something for this. Other diet plans demand membership charges or more prices depending on the amount of pounds you get rid of. Admittedly, these fees normally are not major. In reality you will clarify that Nutrisystem menu has many useful notions. But this really is a further way this diet differs from some some others regarding pricing and value. The glycemic index can be a highly effective weight reduction instrument. This index is predicated around the strategy with the glycemic scale.
Food stuff goods that rank reduced during the scale are likely to have blood glucose stabilizing homes. This permits the foods to regulate hunger; inevitably, cutting down the incidences of having cravings. By consuming a substantial protein and lower fat food plan, you may be in a position to suppress starvation by having in reduced quantities of calories. In the event you are exterior man or woman then you certainly are going to delight in brisk stepping added than performing exercises. Just one must attempt to take in dwelling cooked food stuff. Residence cooked food items will certainly be inadequate if you get ready it in excessive oil. 1 should make use of very low oil whilst preparing household cooked foodstuff. Just one should acknowledge that oil accomplishes never ever include things like style into the food stuff. It’s the spices along with vegetation which are sensible to the preference. A person ought to ingest 6 tiny foods being an substitute of taking in 3 substantial meals. For those who are not mindful with the benefits of nutrisytem weight-loss system at that point you will hardly ever ever understand just how DoesNutrisystem Function.

“Team Villa” and a dream fulfilled – FUTBOLMAESTRO
“Team Villa” and a dream fulfilled
It started like any Thursday, I woke up early and attended my classes in the morning. After a dose of 2 hours of political science courses, I began my return trip home, all normal until my social networks did their thing. By sheer coincidence, a 24-hour soccer event organized by the NYCFC was being promoted. At the time I did not think about it and I registered to be part of the event at 8 am on March 10. It was later when I took into account all the risks that my decision represented, the event was two weeks and I was not prepared.
I would be lying if I said that once I realized everything I was going to face, I was still motivated to participate. On the contrary, I had a lapse of doubts and insecurity that totally discouraged me. “You cant even stand alone without assistance for 5 minutes, do you really think you’ll last a complete game?”, “When you play you lose balance only with the force of the wind, you will not be strong enough to compete with the physical game”. “Do you have enough strength in your legs? No, so you better not think about going”. But the worst of all was knowing the risk that the organizers of the event would not allow me to participate due to my physical limitations. All those questions, as painful as they were, contained a little reality in them. In that aspect, I had many people who motivated me to try regardless of the result, because by doing so I would have fulfilled a goal. Incredibly I managed to motivate myself and started my race against time, double sessions of exercises for two weeks with a special focus on legs. As for practicing physically a soccer ball, I did not focus much, I followed my father’s advice who suggested that because I already had an idea on how to play the sport, it would eventually flow naturally during the game.
It was two intense weeks, but I did the best I could to be as fit as possible. The day before the game I bought the boots that would accompany me on my challenge, luckily they were a pair of Nike’s very comfortable for synthetic turf. The decisive day would arrive and to my astonishment, I did not feel fear or nervousness during my trip to the event. Maybe it’s like I’ve always said when it comes to football, my body transforms and becomes light, I can move freely without any difficulty. Something inexplicable but amazing without a doubt. I arrived at the Rockefeller Center and was received like any other participant of the event, before entering I took a look at the field where the game was taking place and it would undoubtedly be difficult. I went to register and it was a spectacular experience, they verified your name and filled out my information in order to give me my designated number. Honestly, I wanted the number 9 but I would have to leave my mark with the number 484. I also chose to represent David Villa’s team, it wasn’t easy but it was a good challenge. Once I took the official photo, it was time to go back outside and wait for my turn to play. The weather was against me because it was too cold, ironically it allowed me to warm up just like professional footballers do. That also gave me space to see the type of players I was going to face during the game. As I said before, they played very rough and used a lot of physical strength. I acknowledged the fact that I had gained a little bit of muscle mass during those two weeks, but I was not sure if it would be enough to match the rhythm of the game. While I waited, I relived many childhood memories, the games I played in school growing up and what they taught me. Also, the advice that my uncle and my great friend “ches” gave me every time they made me practice. “Never give up” and “always finish the plays” were the ones that repeated the most in my head.
When the referee said “come in” it was exactly as I had imagined it when I was a kid, with the announcement of number 484 entering the field and making his official debut with the NYCFC and the “VILLA TEAM”. Our goalkeeper and the referee gave me instructions as I entered the game. “High pressure and cover the left side,” they said. It was difficult to process, the dream of playing in an official team was being fulfilled and that was something that seemed impossible to me, due to the negative stigma that society has towards people with disabilities. I was doing it, by playing a total of 40 minutes and two games I broke with that barrier that prevented me from fulfilling my dream, even if it was on a friendly game. The time to end my participation arrived and my farewell was unexpected, many expressed admiration and respect towards me. There were applause and a lot of thank you’s from my teammates, a huge gesture. Without a doubt, it will be a day that I will never forget … the day in which player 484 showed that soccer breaks all kinds of barriers.
PS: A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO NYCFC FOR ALLOWING ME TO BE PART OF THE EVENT. I DEFINITELY HAVE A SPECIAL APPRECIATION FOR THE CLUB AS YOU HAVE GIVEN ME UNFORGETTABLE MOMENTS. THANK YOU!

Rikke Grubb Carlsen - Day 29
Today was an exiting as my friend Frederiks Bisbjerg and I had rented a photo studio and agreed with a couple of models to do a shoot. Eventhough we rented a photo studio we did also bring a lot of flash equipment our self - and we ended up using all the stuff we brought.
We took several hundred photos and I will be posting more of those over the coming days. But it is late now and I'll just post the lovely high key portrait of Rikke Grubb Carlsen.
We use a flash to get the high ley back drop and an Elinchrom Beauty Dish with Diffuser from above her face and an Elinchrom Strip Light with Diffuser from beneath to create the traditional clamshell setup - as you also can see from the catch light in her eyes.

Archaeological investigation into the transportation of basalt logs to Nan Madol
The SC-098 Survey of Science, fall class 2012, went to Nett Point to carry out an archeological engineering experiment. The main hypothesis was that ancient Pohnpeian engineers may have moved basalt logs in shallow sea water by inverting their canoes, attaching a strong frame, and then lashing a basalt log to the apparatus. Additionally, it was also speculated that the basalt log was suspended under the raft and in the water. In this way, the upward buoyant force of water could reduce the weight of the basalt log and, as the raft moved through the water, this motion would also increase stability of the raft. The experiment at Nett Point also served as a teaching demonstration to reinforce the concept of the scientific method as well as to illustrate the function of force diagrams used in physics. Both these concepts are topics in the Survey of Science class.
The experiment at Nett Point was a preliminary experiment to test feasibility of the idea. Three plastic bins and a frame, made from wooden 2x4s, were lashed together with rope. The raft was placed in the water and the weights (a safe substitute for basalt rock) added to it - one by one.
From left to right: Rayches Eperiam, Kendan Paul, and Dr. Lefric Enwall securing the frame to the plastic bins.
From left to right: Kendan Paul, Maridell Edwin, Yolima Yoma, and Aiko Jack adding the final weights to the raft.
By inverting the plastic bins an effect similar to lift bags, commonly used by salvage companies, could be achieved. The experimental raft was able to hold approximately 440 lbs. (200kg) with room to spare. Additionally, the raft was towed slowly to demonstrate the increased stability of the raft and the submerged weights. In the second experiment, where the weight was placed above the water, the raft effectively sank with only about 297 lbs. (135 kg). Also, stability could not be achieved except by having people physically hold the raft in place.
The experimental raft being towed to demonstrate stability.
The experimental raft was successful in demonstrating that a significant weight could be carried by using inverted objects to trap the air and by submerging the weight in the water. While the experiment does not prove how the ancient Pohnpeians moved the basalt stones, it offers a possible solution as to how they might have moved such massive stones to Nan Madol. Using this preliminary example, it might be possible to secure funding for a scale up experiment using real canoes and a basalt log weighing 1000 kg.
On the educational level, it is hoped that exposing students to real world experiments not only reinforces classroom concepts but also lets them see that science is something they can do and not always something done by “other people.”
The SC-098 Survey of Science (Fall 2012) students participating in the experiment.
The equipment was generously provided by COM-Pohnpei campus. Thanks to Adleen Shed and Edwin Sione for helping get all the equipment together for the experiment. Thanks to Xavier Yarofmal and Salba Silbamuz for use of the wood shop and the wood for the raft. Thank you to Cindy McCord for taking all the photos. And also a huge thanks to Alden Lorens, one of the students, for giving the soaking wet students a ride home. Dr. Lefric Enwall is a World Teach volunteer teaching science and health at the Pohnpei campus.

Ted Doran Wins State of Florida $15 Million Award	State of Florida
A graduate of the University of Florida College of Law, Ted Doran oversees the firm of Doran, Sims, Wolfe & Ciocchetti as managing partner. Over the course of his more than 30 years as a lawyer, Ted Doran has successfully tried numerous cases, including a 2013 case in which he won the State of Florida $15 million.
In November 2013, the First District Court of Appeal in Tallahassee upheld a $15 million judgment against BB&T bank in a case involving approximately $12.5 million in certificates of deposit (CDs) from two insurance companies with common owners. Mr. Doran’s firm originally won the case in June 2012, and the resulting award marked the third-biggest award for Florida’s receiver.
The firm had previously won one of the state’s largest awards in a $17 million judgment against the Doctors’ Company in 2005. After attorneys’ fees and costs, the judgment rose to more than $20 million.

Community Involvement through Daytona Beach Citizens Police Academy	Citizens Police Academy Daytona Beach
A successful civil litigation lawyer, Ted Doran has contributed to his community by assuming such leadership roles as chairman of the Daytona Regional Chamber of Commerce, chairman of Team Volusia Economic Development Corporation, and chairman of the Halifax Area Advertising Authority. Prior to entering law school, Ted Doran was a public servant, protecting his community as a police officer in City of Daytona Beach.
One way residents of Daytona Beach can participate in community activities is through a police department outreach program known as the Citizens Police Academy. Through the course, residents become knowledgeable about the fundamental tasks of the city’s police department and gain information about the training the officers undergo.
Course topics include officer training requirements, SWAT and K-9 unit demonstrations, evidence collection and crime scene investigation, and actual firing at a shoot range.
The 10-week program is free and is held on a rolling basis, generally on Tuesday evenings from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at Police Headquarters, 129 Valor Boulevard, Daytona Beach.
Experience is not required to participate in the course. Students are asked to have an interest in learning about the city’s police department and the willingness to invest time in the program.

Bringing More Tourists to Daytona Beach	Daytona BeachImage: daytonabeach.com
In 2011, attorney Ted Doran was appointed as chair of the Halifax Area Advertising Agency (HAAA), the regional board in charge of bringing tourists into the Daytona Beach area, which stretches from Ormond by the Sea to Ponce Inlet. During his tenure as board chair, Ted Doran oversaw the hiring of Jeffrey Hertz, the CEO of the Daytona Beach Area Convention and Visitors Bureau.
Mr. Doran’s original appointment to the board came from County Councilwoman Joyce Cusack, who appointed him in an effort to bring more transparency to the operating of the HAAA. As a local attorney, Mr. Doran was a unique voice on the board. He did not have a vested interest in hotel properties, but his position as a small business owner in the area drove his desire to see the HAAA governed correctly.
The HAAA collects a 3 percent tax on overnight accommodations, which is used to promote the area’s tourism offerings. In addition, the HAAA collects an additional 3 percent tax known as the Tourist Development Tax, which is used to fund the Ocean Center, a convention center in Daytona Beach.

public libraries = the new homeless shelter | Mennogirl
« familiar familia
and a good day to you too, sir »
public libraries = the new homeless shelter
I stumbled across a fascinating article on the Hulkster’s blog (fiance of MLE). It is written by Chip Ward, recently retired Assistant Director of the Salt Lake City Library and deals with the well know (in library circles) issue of homeless people using public libraries as day centers. I found this a very interesting topic both because of my own interest in entering library work and my semester spent interning at a day center for the homeless in Indianapolis, IN. At my current job two of the librarians also work a few shifts at our local public library and I have heard both of them talk about dealing with patrons who have offensive body odor, patrons offended by those with offensive body odor, patrons who try to smoke in the library, but most of all patrons who are obviously mentally ill and falling through the cracks of our current social welfare system.
In his article Ward talks about the strain this places on librarians, who are obviously not trained to deal with seizures, schizophrenia, public drunkenness, etc, but must try to deal with these issues with compassion and wisdom. Ward also makes strong statements about the stigma associated with mental illness and asks,
“If we accept that schizophrenia, for instance, is not the result of a character flaw or a personal failing but of some chemical imbalance in the brain — an imbalance that can strike regardless of a person’s values, beliefs, upbringing, social standing, or intent, just like any other disease — then why do we apply a kind of moral judgment we wouldn’t use in other medical situations?”
That is indeed a hard question to answer, especially if I allow myself to own up to my own responses to the homeless people I encounter on the streets. I know when I see the elderly man, who always sits outside of our local coffee-shop, selling his Streetwise, part of me wants to ignore him or at least silently begs not to feel guilty for not buying a paper. The severely mentally ill can often elicit a similar response. I mean who really wants to acknowledge that the only difference between your life and the life of a street person could be the level of a particular chemical in your brain. In some ways we tend to treat mental illness as if it were contagious, we don’t want to catch that severe depression or bi-polar disorder that has been going around these days.
So in order to protect ourselves we try to isolate ourselves and for the most part we are successful. With a good pair of ear buds, an aversion to homeless shelters and re-use it stores, one can turn a blind eye or at least ignore most of the homeless people in our cities, except apparently when you go to the library. And maybe that is a good thing, or at least until society finds a way to truly treat and accept its mentally ill and homeless members, those of us who go to libraries will need to live with having our eyes opened.
Posted in city moments, reviue |
I think with your knowledge of peace and justice issues, you could be an ideal infusion into the profession, even if that’s only for one library. Good post on an interesting topic.

John Picacio | AQ's Reviews
A Canticle for Leibowitz by Walter M. Miller jr.; EOS
A Canticle for Leibowitz was first published in 1960 by Walter M. Miller jr. It won the Hugo Award in 1961 and since it’s first publication, it has never gone “out of print.” Miller is an interesting study: he fought with the Air Force in WWII, flying over fifty missions in the European theatre. After the war, Miller converted to Catholicism and wrote a number of short stories. A Canticle for Leibowitz is the only novel he published in his lifetime. In his later years, Miller became reclusive and suffered from depression. He committed suicide in 1996.
The cover art for this edition was done by the famous artist John Picacio, who has done a number of covers for novels. I am very fond of his artwork, which includes an edition of Frederik Pohl’s Gateway and several Michael Moorcock novels. Since it’s publication, A Canticle for Leibowitz has been blessed [sic] with the seemingly unending fortune of having excellent cover art. One of the things that I like about Picacio’s cover is that there are elements that reflect religion, time, and apocalypse – but also hope and stability. The color work is excellent and this edition is a keeper.
The introduction to this edition is by author Mary Doria Russell. She is the author of the book The Sparrow. Now, I tried several times to read and finish that book, but it was too much and I ended up quitting and selling the book – not that I like to admit that. Her introduction to Miller’s novel is good and bad. I agree with her at some points and yet she seems just slightly too sycophantic about it at other points. As I read the novel, Russell’s introduction stuck in the back of my head and I kept turning it around to see if I really agreed or disagreed. Since I kept at it, I guess that’s a signal of being a good introduction.
Before starting the book, I was interested in a “destruction of knowledge/apocalypse” novel. So, I built up my expectations on that front. After reading the first part, I was disappointed – not in the novel, per se, but rather that my expectations were slightly off. Nevertheless, I was enjoying my reading even if the story was not going where I had thought it would.
Reading the second part of the book, I kept waiting for one of the main characters to “turn traitor.” I guess it’s a sign of the jaded and bitter times I live in that I was expecting that to happen. Surely, not all the good guys are that good, right? Thankfully, none of the characters “turned traitor.” I say thankfully because not every book has to use that twist to make the story significant. Sometimes, the good guys are simply good guys. Sometimes it’s okay for people not to give in to evil.
The third part of the book was the most intense part of the book. I do not want to give away anything, but the last part displays all the “history repeats itself because human hubris refuses to learn from it’s mistakes” theme that I feel Miller really wrestled with during his lifetime. Some of the scenes in this last chapter are a bit graphic, although not too terrible for anyone who watches any TV in 2012. And in the end, the concept of hope still hangs in there, regardless of all the stupidity, stubbornness, and violence.
There is a lot of Latin in this book, but not just Latin – it’s basically Church Latin. And in 2012, I am as dismal as Miller is regarding the state of anti-intellectualism and even general knowledge of the Church Herself. I think that non-Catholics will not get as much out of the book as Roman Catholics will. Sure, the plot and themes remain accessible, but some of the tone and feeling is probably going to be lost on many non-Catholics. Some of the themes of the book include religion vs. science, state vs. religion, and faith vs. despair. However, Miller does not write a church that cannot laugh at itself or take a rueful look at itself. There are plenty of times in the novel where there is wry humor and bemused characters reflect on their plight.
I can see why it won a Hugo Award. This is by no means a crappy novel. In parts it is intense, saddening, amusing, and shocking. I really liked the Abbots of the monastery and they are really the tools through which Miller tells us this story. The hints of Leibowitz throughout the story are just enough to be curious and intriguing, but without any solidity. Ultimately, the Church is the one bulwark of salvation – perhaps more material than spiritual – in the novel and that fact in and of itself will agitate some readers. However, readers who are not vehemently opposed to organized religion and who are willing to take a look at human progress as a whole will enjoy this novel. If enjoy is the right word: nuclear warfare/fallout is not really enjoyable, right? I gave it three stars, but I think an argument can be made for four stars. I think I give it three because the first section really seems less purposeful (in a writing sense) than the other two sections. I can honestly say I have not read a book with a plot that was similar and I have a feeling that I will be ruminating on many elements in this novel for years to come.

Notes of Avi Wigderson’s popular lecture at Ecole Normale Supérieure | metric2011
← Notes of Alex Lubotzky’s talk
Avi’s ENS slides →
Notes of Avi Wigderson’s popular lecture at Ecole Normale Supérieure	Posted on March 23, 2011	by metric2011 , Efficient computation, Internet security and the limits of human knowledge
Dedicated to Philippe Flajolet.
One of Clay Mathematical Institute millenium problems. Although it is a mathematical problem, it has a much different flavour than other maths problems, and also far reaching philosophical implications.
It is about problems we understand versus problems we want to understand.
1. Plan Computation is everywhere.
Algorithm, the language of computation.
Efficient algorithms: P.
Efficient verification: NP.
Universality: NP completeness.
2. Computation Computation: every process which is a sequence of simple local steps. Examples:
Development of living being (e.g. child)
Infection spreading (cell scale, planet scale, local can mean many things).
The subconcious mind computes. Beauty and emotion can arise from computation.
3. Algorithms In 1936, Alan Turing (1912-1954) formalized computation. Church-Turing thesis : everything that can be computed mechanically can be computed by a Turing machine.
An algorithm has a finite description, although there are infinitely many instances (input).
Not all problems can be solved by computation. Turing showed that one cannot tell wether a given program always halts (whatever input). Related to Matiyassevitch theorem for Diophantine equations.
If a problem has an algorithm, next question is: how long does it take to give an answer ?
Addition of -digit integers takes operations.
Elementary school multiplication of digit integers requires roughly operations. Can one do faster ? Yes! Nearly linear time.
Brute force (check if , , ,… is a divisor) factoring of an digit integer takes operations. Can one do faster ? Yes! But still nearly exponential. This is crucial for everyday life.
4. The class P Cobham, Edmonds, Rabin circa 1965 defined P as algorithms which answer on input of size in polynomial time, i.e. , ,…
Many problems have fast algorithms, of daily use.
Dijkstra : Shortest path between two locations on a network. Your computer does it in a fraction of a second.
Knuth-Morris-Pratt : Pattern matching (text processing, genomes)
Cooley-Tukey: Fast Fourier Transform (audio and image processing). Used by Gauss in 1805 for computing planetary orbits.
Petersen, Berlekamp-Massey: Error correcting codes (CD’s, satellite communication).
Question: Do all problems which admit an algorithm also admit a class P algorithm ?
5. The class NP Search problems: Shortest path, Pattern matching, Factoring, Theorem proving, Sudoku are instances of search problem. They may be of variable difficulty, but they share a common property: if someone hands you a solution for a given instance, it is easy to check that it is indeed a solution. Even checking a mathematical proof is easy, provided the proof is written in a formal language.
This is what class NP is about. It was defined formally by Cook and Levin in 1971, but the idea can be found in a letter of Gödel to von Neumann in 1956.
NP does NOT mean not polynomial. It means nondeterministically polynomial.
The P versus NP problem is wether for every search problem for which solutions can be efficiently checked, solutions can in fact be easily found.
Most people think that NP is not equal to P, i.e. finding is harder than checking.
6. What is in NP ? Most everyday life search problems are in NP. Engineering (given constraints, find a suitable design),… Indeed, checking wether the design meets the constraints is easy (if not, we probably would not start looking).
If , this would mean that creativity can be automated. Utopia!
7. Universality: NP-completeness Are Sudoku, Theorem proving, Factoring hard ? We do not know, but
Theorem 1 If Sudoku is easy, then so are Theorem proving and Factoring. In fact, a Sudoku solver can solve any NP problem.
NP-complete problems are all equivalent: if one turns out to be easy, all of them will be.
Theorem proving (with a prescribed length of the proof) is NP-complete. We do not know about Factoring.
Question from audience: But Factoring has a subexponential algorithm ? Answer: and so what ? There exist NP-complete problems which have subexponential algorithms.
Thousands of problems in all fields of science have been shown to be NP-complete (e.g. protein threading problem with sequence amino-acid preference is NP-complete).
8. as a law of nature Nature keeps solving NP-complete problems (e.g. optimal shapes). Why ?
Possibly, nature deals only with special inputs. Inputs are bounded (by the number of atoms in the universe), but this does not matter, since limitations of non P algorithms are visible on ridiculously small inputs.
Or the model is wrong, and computers cannot do everything. If so, can one use natural processes to enhance the power of computers ? Yes! This is how randomness, and later quantum physics, were introduced in Turing’s model.
9. Positive consequences of Are hard problems useful ? Yes!
If Factoring is hard, then personal data are safely stored and exchanged, all of us bank on that.
10. Questions from the audience 10.1. What progress has been made ? We know that some very weak models (where algorithms are severely restricted) do not solve all NP-problems.
We know restrictions on certain methods: we can explain why certain techniques for proving lower bounds on complexity must fail.
Interesting interaction with statistical physicists.
10.2. Further questions Power of quantum computation: Shor’s result that Factoring is P in the quantum computation model came as a surprise (although Feynman alluded to this possibility). Possibly, this might lead to discovery of flaws in quantum physics. Research is active, since there are many problems for which we do not have fast quantum algorithms.
Parallelism in nature: In the weather game, every atom plays the role of a computer which optimizes its own position, temperature, speed… So nature is massively parallel. Nevertheless, the number of processors is linear in the input, so it does not matter for P versus NP.

THIRSTMERCHANTS: August 2009
There's more and more producers claiming to produce sustainable wines -- and wine stores claiming to sell them. But a lot of them aren't walking the walk. We're at a moment when Monsanto claims to be following a sustainable model.
Thirst was founded on the notion that we will sell only delicious wines made as naturally as possible. We search out wines that aren’t on steroids--what we like to call slow wines. Slow wines are the opposite of industrial wines. Industrial wines are mass-produced wines made from high-yielding irrigated vineyards, with grapes grown with herbicides and pesticides, mechanically harvested, engineered with lab yeasts, artificial flavors and stabilizers.
What's a slow wine? It's wine made from vineyards without pesticides or herbicides, and without chemical additives or added flavors in the cellar. Slow wines are made on a small scale from grapes grown in low-yielding dry-farmed vineyards farmed sustainably, organically or biodynamically. Slow winemakers harvest by hand by careful selection. Slow wines aren't made with laboratory yeasts but with ambient yeasts so that the fermented grapes can naturally express themselves and the place from which they come (terroir). New oak barrels, if used, are used judiciously. Many winemakers who take these approaches do so without certification, simply because they believe it's the way wine should be made.

One of the most heartening things we notice as merchants, especially among Kermit Lynch’s producers, is continuity. Philippe Faury, for instance, works side by side with his son, Lionel (they’re pictured on the left). Philippe took over his family's 2.5 hectare estate in 1979. Since then he's expanded it to over 11 hectares. They now have vineyards in Cote Rotie, Condrieu and St. Joseph.
I've always had a particular affection for wines from the Northern Rhone. We especially love Faury's wines and have carried them at Thirst from the very beginning. Domaine Faury's wines are notable for their purity and elegance. We were eager to meet them, and excited to taste their wines, at their property last January.
Our special order of their 2008 Syrah has just arrived. It's essentially a baby St. Joseph meant to be drunk in its youth. The grapes come from young St. Joseph hillside vines and from older vines on the plateau above. Officially, it's classified as a Vin de Pays des Collines Rhodaniennes. It's juicy but a little meaty, with spice and pepper notes. An awesome inexpensive Syrah from the Northern Rhone--where Syrah is King. Great served slightly chilled.
We also have their Condrieu 2006, which is made from Viognier. A good Condrieu is hard to find and, unfortunately, they're not cheap. If you've ever wondered what a Condrieu tastes like, you must pick up a bottle. It's not screwed up, like many are, with new oak. It's piercing, powerfully aromatic. Of it Kermit Lynch has written: " I’ll start with what it is not: woody, cloying, flabby, showily shallow. Here are all the fireworks of Condrieu’s Viognier without it going too far. Stunning."
Their St. Joseph 2006 red is a benchmark Northern Rhone Syrah. The winemaker Steve Edmunds (Edmunds St. John): "[..]when I taste a wine like Philippe Faury’s Saint Joseph, with its textbook rendition of suave Syrah fruit and smoke and that spinetingling perfume of tender berries and violets, I feel a whisper of wildness in it, that presence of not just the human endeavour in that place, and that year, but of something elemental, behind those things, something inviting me to engage with it. Something very hard to name."

Little Bishop Chronicles: Temple Grandin
The 'real' Temple Grandin
A few weeks ago Kris and I were watching The Colbert Report and Claire Danes was one of his guests. She was promoting a new movie she was in, called Temple Grandin. When we heard what it was about, we were both left longing to see this movie. It's about an autistic woman (based on the life of Temple Grandin)who overcame many obstacles and a cruel society and has led an amazing life. It was riveting...I couldn't take my eyes off of the screen the entire time, for fear I'd miss something. I wasn't sure how I felt about Claire Danes in this role when I first saw previews for it. But let me assure you, 10 minutes in you forgot you were watching Claire Danes and she really became Temple Grandin. It was an amazing performance and an extremely well-written script.
If you know anyone with Autism, or just want to understand Autism better, watch this movie. When Temple Grandin was 4 and diagnosed with Autism in 1951, they suggested she be institutionalized for the rest of her life and her mother was told she had a form of infantile Schizophrenia. How limiting our society and medical professionals were in the 50's. There wasn't much understanding of Autism at the time, and so the 'professionals' assumed that parents of autistic children just weren't nurturing their children and that is why they behaved the way that they did. Unbelievable. Can you imagine being told that it was YOUR fault that your child couldn't talk or interact 'normally' in social settings, when you'd done whatever you could to help them succeed? I'm thankful there is so much knowledge out there now about Autism. This movie is just another step in the right direction towards showing the world how intelligent and FUNCTIONAL people with Autism can be. Unlike Rain Man and I Am Sam, which are both good movies for becoming more aware of people who are not 'like us', Temple Grandin is based on the life a real woman who accomplished incredible things in her life! Obviously there are different sides of the spectrum and some people will be higher-functioning than others. I was fascinated by this film and recommend that you see it.
