|The Primarchs (Anthology)
The Reflection Crack'd
by Graham McNeill
performed by Jonathan Keeble
In the aftermath of the Drop Site Massacre, Fulgrim and his Emperor's Children Legion are ordered to Mars by the Warmaster Horus Lupercal. The increasingly capricious Fulgrim however, decides to assault a Mechanicus resource world instead, in order to further his own designs. When this change of plan is questioned by Lord Commander Eidolon, the Primarch reacts to this perceived slight against his judgement by slaying his once-favoured subordinate on the spot.
While far from upset at the death of Eidolon, the ascendant Emperor's Children champion, Lucius, takes note of the event as yet another concerning example of Fulgrim's increasingly erratic behaviour. Inspired by dark dreams, Lucius becomes suspicious of his primarch, and proceeds to study him closely. Already concerned by his random mood swings, unconvincing attempts at legion camaraderie and remembrance, and above all by the realisation that Fulgrim's sword-fighting technique is suddenly inferior to his own, Lucius finally decides that Fulgrim is not who he appears to be after witnessing him employing sorcerous powers in open combat. Following the threads planted by his dreams, he breaks a standing order aboard the legion flagship, The Pride of the Emperor, to stay out of La Fenice, the opera chamber where the Emperor's Children were awakened by the discord and potential of Chaos. Investigating the chamber, he encounters the portrait of the Primarch hung there, a portrait that has been appearing in his dreams, and gazing at the eyes of the painting, he comes to the conclusion that his Primarch is somehow trapped within and that the entity walking around as Fulgrim is an imposter.
Determined to free Fulgrim, Lucius convenes the Brotherhood of the Phoenix, the senior members of the Legion. Such an action is not without risks in the chaotic Emperor's Children, as by this time of the Legion's (de)evolution each surviving senior officer is a powerful, mercurial and above all, self-obsessed individual, and all of them carry a loathing of the upstart Lucius. However, when he makes his accusation, the swordsman learns that he is not without allies: First Captain Julius Kaesoron reveals that he already had suspicions that Fulgrim was not who he said he was, and Chief Apothecary Fabius reveals that his tests of Fulgrim's blood indicate that the Primarch is upon the verge of some strange transformation. With this knowledge, Lucius is able to convince them that Fulgrim is not himself, and tempt them into the experience of attempting to capture a Primarch. Shortly afterward, they ambush Fulgrim and, despite taking casualties, the phoenix conspirators manage to render their primarch unconscious.
Strapping him down upon a table in the Apothecarion Lucius, Fabius, Kaesoron and Marius Vairosean attempt to drive the entity possessing their master out of his body by means of excruciation. A protracted torture session takes place, with Fulgrim submitting to all the works inflicted upon him, talking all the while of his perception of reality, current events, and the path he envisages for the Legion. Eventually, Lucius comes to another shocked realisation; that he has been both misled and miscalculated the situation. Suddenly believing that the person under torture is indeed his Primarch, Lucius bows his knee as Fulgrim easily frees himself from the torture rack, contented that the game is over and that his favoured sons have learned from the experience.
Fulgrim then deigns to explain just why Lucius thought him an imposter in the first place, revealing that he had indeed been possessed by a daemonic entity for some time, an entity that had trapped his disembodied spirit in the painting in La Fenice. However, Fulgrim was able to use the experience to learn of warpcraft and the ways of daemonkind, eventually being able to use this newly gained knowledge to forcibly swap places with the daemon, trapping it in the painting in his stead. It was presumably the daemon that was sending Lucius the dreams and clues in an attempt to be freed. Fulgrim's apparent inferiority in swordsmanship was just a ploy to tease Lucius into challenging him, in an attempt to further educate the swordsman in the powers of Chaos, and his mood swings and lack of interest in Legion history and camaraderie were simply an honest evolution of his nature. Fulgrim announces that he intends to go further than anyone ever before in experience and learning, pushing the limits to their extremes, not just to gain power, but for the journey; a journey he wants his Legion to take also. The next step on the journey? To link up with Perturabo and the Iron Warriors as part of a scheme to further this goal.

Feat of Iron
by Nick Kyme
performed by David Timson
It was included as part of the "Nine Loyal Primarchs" set for 2016 12 Days of Christmas: Day 9.
The campaign on One-Five-Four Four is not going well for the Imperial forces, and especially not for Ferrus Manus, primarch of the Iron Hands Legiones Astartes, who is troubled not only by the existence of the weaknesses within, but by the hinderances without as well; the terrain and fluid savagery of the Eldar enemies are taking a toll on his battle-group and placing him behind schedule. Even the latest victory, a battle commanded by his determined First Captain, Gabriel Santar, does not satisfy him, and neither does the proving correct of the Iron Hands' creed; the flesh is weak, at least out in the desert and at least where the attached regiments of the Imperial Army are concerned. Not only is Manus concerned with being behind schedule, and losing face in front of his brothers Mortarion and Vulkan, but the possibility that Eldar witchcraft could be causing his Astartes to under-perform fills him with ire.
Confessing his unease to Santar, Manus reveals that he has had strange dreams of late. What he does not reveal is that the sooner he gets the campaign finished and off the world, the better he'll feel. Deciding to abandon the Army if they cannot keep up, Ferrus Manus leads his forces deeper into the desert. Bion Henricos, acting as a liason between the legion and the soldiery, communicates this intention to their colonel, feeling a surprising twinge of remorse as he does so.
Unbeknownst to Ferrus Manus, two Eldar discuss his fate; one decides to intervene, to make sure that Manus walks along the more positive of the two possible paths leading to his future. The other warns against it, telling him that "stone cannot bend, it can only break."
The Iron Hands arrive at a suspicious valley; Ferrus Manus feels that it is important somehow, but is loathe to investigate it without a scout unit, something his current legion force is lacking. Henricos suggests waiting for the Army units to catch up and using their scouts - thus reinvigorating them by making them feel valued - but is shot down by his superior officers. Unwilling to wait any longer and not interested in using weaker units, Manus orders the Iron Hands to descend into the valley. Not long after the bulk of them reach the valley floor, a mysterious darkness engulfs them, followed by wind, storm and ambush. Eldar warriors engage the disorientated Iron Hands at close quarters, deploying a weapon which over-rode their controls of their bionics, robbing those with bionic eyes of sight, and turning the weapons held in bionic hands against each other...or their owners. The Iron Hands assault force is saved by the actions of Bion Henricos' rearguard, who're able to pick off the Eldar witches causing the sorcerous attacks. The Eldar retreat, leaving the Iron Hands to recover from the virtues of their own creed being turned against them...and notice that Ferrus Manus is missing...
Manus finds himself in a cavern system, assaulted by various visions and other sensory perceptions of death; that of his legion, his colleagues and even his own. He also comes across metaphorical representations of his brothers, and is momentarily puzzled by the feelings of betrayal looking at the statue of Fulgrim engenders. Combined with all this, he feels pursued by a malignant, serpentine entity. Irritated by such witchery, he presses onwards in exploring the caverns.
Gabriel Santar details fifty Terminators to assist him in the search, and assigns legion command to Shadrak Meduson, who is to continue their mission. Meduson and the straggling Army units eventually locate the enemy node complex they've been seeking to destroy, while Santar's team discover signs that Ferrus Manus actually vanished. Realising that he has been taken and they cannot do anything to get him back, Santar and his fifty troops decide to link up with the main force. The main assault is stymied by an energy shield of some sort that keeps out firepower, with Eldar defenders managing to hold back the Space Marines themselves for some time. Santar arrives, and comes up with a plan.
In the cavernous depths, Ferrus Manus is finally attacked by the serpentine monster that has been trailing him, the giant silver wyrm proving a vicious and poisonous foe. Nearly slaying him several times, Ferrus Manus is distracted by deja vu and a vague feeling of prophecy concerning the words "Angel Exterminatus", which appear in his mind as if from nowhere. Inspired by a memory of his brother Vulkan, he eventually wounds the serpent enough so that it retreats. Elsewhere, the two Eldar responsible for Ferrus Manus' predicament lament their allowing of an aspect of the Primordial Annihilator to sneak into their domain when they kidnapped the primarch.
On the surface, Santar's planned combined-arms assault goes well at first, with the Iron Hands penetrating the shield...until the return of the witchery that afflicts their bionics forces them to retreat. Once again, Henricos suggests an unusual plan; detaching his only bionic - his symbolic iron hand - he volunteers to lead the Imperial Army forces into the breached shield, and eliminate the Eldar threat. Initially hostile to this plan, which goes against their credo, the Iron Hands senior officers eventually relent.
Ferrus Manus continues onward, eventually reaching a bizarre, decrepit throne room, complete with rotting corpse on a throne. Coiled around it is the serpent, a great wyrm that Manus has come to believe is the spirit of Asirnoth, the dread wyrm of Medusa Manus thought he had slain long before. Wrestling with it and calling it out, he is shocked when the serpent begins to shapeshift into a familiar form, and with a familiar voice tells him that it is not Asirnoth. Recovering from this latest trick, Ferrus Manus angrily slays the half-primarch, half-scaled serpent beast, before tearing the corpse-king from the throne and opening the doorway concealed behind it. Confronting his Eldar kidnappers, he brushes aside their claims to be warning him against a likely future, attacking them and demanding his release. In desperation, the Eldar grant his request.
Bion Henricos' force of non-augmented humans takes horrendous casualties, and he himself is wounded, but they strike a solid blow against the Eldar. Before they can be wiped out, Ferrus Manus suddenly appears in the midst of the battle, turning the tide. The arrival of Santar and reinforcements secures the day. In a show of respect, the surviving humans are inducted as the first members of the Iron Hands valued mortal auxiliary; the Chainveil. Adopted Sons of Medusa, their purpose is to stand as a living reminder that not all flesh is weak.
Ferrus Manus refuses to answer questions of his experience, claiming that nothing happened that matters. He leads his forces into the jungle, in response to a request from help from Vulkan. In another place entirely, the two Eldar rue their failure, but take solace in the fact that even if the Gorgon falls, there is another who will suit their purpose...

The Lion
by Gav Thorpe
performed by Gareth Armstrong
It was included as part of the "Nine Loyal Primarchs" set for 2016 12 Days of Christmas: Day 9.
Part I: 82 days following the his battle with Konrad Curze at Tsagualsa, a recovering Lion El'Jonson, Primarch of the Dark Angels, sits aboard the Invincible Reason pondering Curze's claims that some of the Dark Angels turned traitor. This concerned the Lion because communication with Caliban had been stopped for two years due to the warp. He could not trust anyone, even his own legion, and he believed it was possible that the Thramas Crusade was a distraction while Horus converted the other Dark Angels. Curze's unwillingness to fight a direct battle concerned the Lion further, and he wanted to leave the battle and return home as soon as possible. Corswain (newly appointed Seneschal) interrupted the primarch's meditation with Captain Stenius (captain of the ship) and Captain Tragan of the Ninth Order.
Tragan mentions the Night Lords's unwillingness to fight their legion at Parthac, and Stenius reports that three major docks were destroyed over a six month period. The Lion questions why the Night Lords were trying to keep the Dark Angels from resupplying because the actions hurt even Curze's own men. Among the reports was an astropathic message mentioning the appearance of a small fleet of Death Guard and some members of the Iron Hands appearing at a small research facility in Perditus (part of Thramas). The location was known to the Lion, and it was he and the Death Guard that originally claimed it. The facility was researching a secret technology, and he ordered that a task form be formed at Balaam that could defeat any Death Guard or Iron Hands. Corswain responded with worry that this would leave their other forces un-protected, but the Lion was willing to risk it.
Part II: Navigator Theralyn Fiana guided the Invincible Reason from Balaam but noticed that she could no longer see the Astronomican. Instead, she relied on small warp-beacons, which the Night Lords did not destroy because they too relied on them. Perditus did not have a beacon, but it was 114 light years from Balaam, and she could triangulate the position with its distance from the Drebbel and Nemo systems. Fiana was concerned by the growing tempestuous nature of the warp, and reflected on the daemons that dwell there that were never discussed. After translating, she joined the Lion for an audience, of which she normally complained about the warp to explain the slow progress they made. This time, she and Stenius brought word that a ship was following after them, which was an almost impossible feat, especially in that they changed streams in the warp multiple times. This concerned the Lion, and he thought of the warp-monster nephilla that he experienced in his youth on Caliban.
The Lion told them to assume that they were followed by the Night Lords and that they should take evasive measures. He gave them two days, and ordered that weapons be ready for an attack. After trying for two days, they could not shake the other ship. After rejoining the primarch, Fiana mentioned that in 3 days they could risk diving into the Morican Gulf, surrounded by a maelstrom, where they could ride around the edge and mask their route. The negative possibility was a becalming. The Lion then questioned the possibility of dropping from the warp, which would be easy to spot and could cause a collision. The gave the Lion a plan to try to maneuver and surprise the enemy, and they were ordered to act on it. He then told Corswain privately his suspicions of Stenius's loyalty, and Corswain said he would send Nemiel to speak to the primarch.
Part III: The navigators gathered to enact the Lion's difficult plan. Fiana took direct control of the ship and maneuvered it into position, which caused the navigators distress and the youngest, Kiafan, to vomit. They translated back into real space, and the Lion waited on the bridge. The Lion watched Stenius throughout the translation, which concerned Corswain that he either missed a flaw with Corswain or that the Lion was becoming paranoid and brooding. As soon as they entered reality, the Lion had all sensors scanning for a ship. After seven minutes, the Night Lords Avenging Shadow, a eclipse-class light cruiser, appeared. The Lion ordered torpedoes to be launched and for boarding action to seize whatever device the Night Lords were using. As torpedoes launched, Fiana contacted the bridge to report that she could see something happening to the enemy warp engines, as if there was warp space within them.
The enemy ship came about and hailed the Dark Angels. The message was praise of the maneuver and they would meet in their equivalent of hell (Slathissin). Nemiel denied the existence of hell, and the Night Lord responded that it does exist, revealing that he could hear within the Dark Angels ship. The enemy then tried to activate its warp engines while the shields were on, causing a warp breach. The torpedoes hit the warp energy surrounding the ship, and a breach expanded. The breach then caused the Night Lords vessel to implode, and that they were forced to translate into the warp.
Part IV: The Lion ordered calm as they entered the warp and that all Dark Angels maintain discipline. The warp affected the ship, and reports of fighting came quickly. They could not raise the Geller field because they did not fully translate, and Corswain was sent to investigate the fighting. The Lion ordered that they try to get fully back into the warp, and Nemiel ordered 15 Terminators to guard the bridge. On gun deck nine, Corswain, with 10 legionaries, followed the sound of bolter fire and saw crew fleeing. Eventually, they came upon a creature with a head in its torso and spewing fire. Corswain tried to fire at them, but the bolts exploded early, and he had no choice but to hit the emergency release for bulkhead that separated them from the daemons. This only slowed the flamers, which burned through the door.
The monsters greatly affected the Dark Angels, and Brother Alartes pointed out a warp rift forming. Corswain ordered a retreat and to seal the gun deck as monstrous dogs began to appear. Corswain tried to lead a defense but it proved fruitless. In the Navigator's chamber, Fiana watched creatures trying to attack the ship as Coiden stood guard. Fiana ordered Kiafan to go with Coiden and for Aneis to stay with her before she used her third eye to attack a slug like creature before Coiden and Aneis blasted gargoyle like beasts that were attacking Kiafan. They left as a cyclopean creature began to form, heading to the bridge. As they traveled, they were escorted by Sergeant Ammael and met with Corswain on the way. The bridge was clear of fighting but Nemiel's forces held a brother at gunpoint.
Corswain entered alone, and the Lion explained he had a dilemma. Nemiel said that the former Librarius, Brother Asmodeus, needed to be punished for breaking the Edict of Nikaea and using psychic powers to battle the daemons. The Lion said that he did not yet decide if the act was sorcery, but Nemiel was firm that it was. Corswain asked if the use of psychic powers worked, and Asmodeus nodded. Corswain explained how powerful the daemons were, and Fiana explained that they were from the warp so they were harmed by their third eye because it relies on powers of the warp. Nemiel insisted that it was still a grave crime, and he criticized the idea that the librarians would be used to battle the daemons. The Lion stated that he issued an order, and Nemiel said he could not follow it. The Lion attacked Nemiel, beheading him with ease, before saying that the Edict of Nikaea was no longer in effect.
Part V: 8 groups went through the ship, 4 led by navigators, 3 led by librarians, and the last by the Lion. The Lion went to his arming chamber and chose the calibanite swords Hope and Despair, edged in a crystalline compound. He then led his men to the reactor room where fighting was fierce, and he was soon joined by 250 of his legionaries. Eight horned and dog legged monsters attacked, and the Lion quickly destroyed them. The Lion then ordered the engineers to return to the warp chamber so they could finish entering the warp, and he ran off to meet them. Corswain was approaching the warp chamber and his group was assaulted by all manner of daemons. His force of 200 men was down to half, with 28 slain or injured and the rest set to guard. As he neared the chamber, he could see corpses strewn about but no source of the attack.
Outside the warp core, Fiana could feel a presence, and there were many dead legionaries and techmarines in the chamber. The group was beet by pink and blue creatures, with Fiana having the only real effect. Corswain contacted the Lion, who said he was near, and Corswain proceeded forward to find the pink and blue creatures trying to breach the core. Before they could attack, a large two-headed bird-like creature blasted them with lightning. The daemon killed legionaries before Fiana blasted it. However, the creature managed to stop the beam with its hand only to turn it back on her and knock her unconscious. The creature turned to Corswain, immobilizing him before forcing his body forward then forced him to contact the Lion to speak with him. The Lion arrived, and the creature spoke directly into his mind, threatening to kill Corswain if attacked.
The Lion said that the creature had no place here, and it responded that it devoted a great effort to find him just as it came to the primarch before. The two continued to talk, and the creature offered the Lion freedom and said it has seen that Chaos always wins in the end. The Lion responded that the Emperor has given a new way, and the creature mocked the Emperor as an ambitious impostor. This only provided hope within the Lion as it meant that the Emperor still lived. The Lion then used a small distraction to attack the creature, grabbing one of its necks and stabbing it with Despair. The Lion mocked it as he attacked further, causing it to burst and return to the warp.
Part VI: The last of the daemons were defeated once they entered the warp and the Geller field denied them power. Over 300 legionaries and more than 600 serfs were killed in the attack, while many were treated, including Fiana. 8 more days passed before they reached Perditus, and Fiana met with the Lion with Stenius and Corswain; there was something wrong with the location because of how calm the warp was in the area. The Lion admitted that it was to be expected and dismissed them. When the Invincible Reason arrived, they found four of their fleet already there but a dozen others not yet arrived. The Lion ordered them to proceed without waiting and approached the Iron Hands and Death Guard ships. Coming closer, they were able to detect forces on the services, battling. The Dark Angels moved between the two fleets and force a peace. Captain Masurabael of the frigate Intervention questioned the risk but the Lion said that his intent was to let both sides know that they mean business. Corswain questioned why not to destroy the Death Guard outright, and the Lion said that they needed to establish the loyalty of both legions before proceeding. The Lion expressed his intent to land, and then spoke on the nature of loyalty, and how there was a third option to be loyal to a legion and to save themselves.
The Lion's forces interrupted the ground battle between the forces of Iron Hands Iron Father Lasko Midoa and Death Guard Captain Calas Typhon. The battle lasted 38 days on the planet before the Iron Hands spotted the Dark Angels making orbit, but they were not able to directly contact them through the comm-dampening. The Iron Hands then prepared to intercept the Death Guard ships in orbit while makinga n assault to take advantage of the situation, breaching the Death Guard ground defenses and taking one of their positions. This provoked Typhon, forcing them into acting while attempting to free Tuchulcha. As the fighting began to intense, they were stopped by the command of the Lion who declared the planet under his protection and for everyone to leave; both sides responded immediately and started to retreat. However, Typhon knew that there had to be a reason for the Lion to arrive so he tapped into the warp and the powers of his patron, the Father. Using psychic powers, he determined that the Dark Angels were using their librarians to cower the forces and so he used his own to protect the minds of his Grave Wardens. The Lion responded by ordering torpedoes to be launched.
Part VII: As Typhon led the charge against the Iron Hands, he was informed that torpedoes were launched. This prompted Typhon to order a withdrawal then contacted the Dark Angels via vox. The Lion responded by ordering the Death Guard to pull back except for Typhon and his guards and await a parlay. The Lion landed with 1,000 of his men and he spoke with Midoa, Typhon, and the Mechanicum directly. The Lion came to High Magos Khir Doth Iaxis, Overseer of Magellix and Custodian of Tuchulcha, a man of only a meter in height, who then welcomed the Lion to the planet and asked the primarch to follow him into the facility. The Lion had Midoa and Typhon escorted elsewhere then proceeded to Tuchulcha's chamber.
The Lion was taken to Tuchulcha deep beneath the surface, and he remembered when he slaughtered machine cultists who worshiped Tuchulcha the last time he was there. On the way, the Lion noticed that Iaxis had an electoo of a Ouraboros dragon eating its own tail, which Iaxis said was for the Order of the Dragon, a now defunct organization. Inside the chamber, the Lion found an orb 10.7 meters in diameter of an unknown material, Tuchulcha, and that it was watching him. Unlike before, the orb now had two protrusions, only a few centimeters in length, from each pole. A small boy servitor laid before the device with pipes connecting him to the machine, and through it Tuchulcha spoke. The Lion questioned it, surprised at its ability to communicate through the puppet and that it recognized him. The machine said that he was "the everything," was "everywhere," and "once Servant of the Deadly Seas" before becoming "Friend of the Mechanicum." The Lion responded that the machine was dangerous, but was told by Tuchulcha that he could not be destroyed because he did not truly desire to destroy the machine.
Tuchulcha then explained that the Lion caused him to be afraid. The Lion questioned how the machine knew of the battles above, and the it responded that his mind was able to touch theirs before saying that the Lion's mind touched him but it carried a heavy burden of guilt. The Lion questioned Iaxis as to the machine's use and why it was spared. Tuchulcha then demonstrated its teleportation power, shifting in to the throne room of the Invincible Reason and translated the whole ship into the warp. This prompted alarms to go off, and the act both appalled and surprised the Lion. The Lion questioned Tuchulcha how translation was possible being so close to the system's star, and Iaxis responded that the machine didn't have to worry about such concerns. The Lion decided that he had to be friends with the machine, and asked it politely to return them to real space around the planet.
Part VIII: Corswain and the Lion discussed the nature of the situation and the parlay in his chambers. The Lion could not tell what Typhon's full agenda was, and he was unsure why the Iron Hands arrived and their legion was not as inconsequential as he once assumed. The primarch then met with the two commanders, where Typhon immediately verbally lashed out and was chastised. The Lion did not yet decide what to do and questioned them as to their purpose. Typhon responded that he came for the warp device to give to Horus, and then stated that it was expected that the Dark Angels would battle the Night Lords but would eventually come to Horus. The Lion responds by pointing out that Typhon does not mention Mortarion, and that Typhon served his own ambition. Additionally, it was not Horus who ordered Typhon there, and that Horus would not wish direct war with the Dark Angels.
The Lion then turned to Midoa and questioned his purpose. Midoa explained that he was part of the 406th Expedition Fleet and was not part of the Drop Site Massacre. 6 months ago, they met with Ultramarines at Ojanus then dispatched by Guilliman to protect Perditus and the device from traitors. Midoa then said that he believed it should be taken to Macragge to be safe. Hearing both sides, the Lion then ordered that the planet be destroyed, which brought protest from both commanders. The Lion then pointed out that he too received a summon from Guilliman but that he did not trust the other primarch before sending the commanders off.
Part IX: Midoa left for the Fastidious Prosecutor and Typhon for the Terminus Est. Fiana contacted the primarch to say they felt something burrowing through the warp to the planet. At the same time, the Invincible Reason prepared for combat as Typhon warped from the Terminus Est down to Tuchulcha's chamber. Once there, Typhon slaughtered the adepts and skitarii but was slowly feeling the effects of warp rotting his insides. Calming it, he entered the chamber and was about to kill a robed adept when the puppet asked him not to do so. The boy then told Typhon that there wasn't much time as the Lion arrived. Typhon offered Tuchulcha freedom but was laughed at in response, saying he was waiting for the Lion's return before forcing Typhon to be teleported back to the Terminus Est with his remaining men.
Later, when Typhon was alone, he reflected that he failed in his mission, but realized that he did succeed when he noticed that he received a 3 blister mark of favor. On the Iron Hands's ship, Midoa told Lorramech that the Lion had a message for Guilliman: "I am coming." On the Invincible Reason, Tuchulchas and Iaxis were aboard and the planet destroyed. He knew that he had a power that would turn the Thramas Crusade and that Curze would soon be his with some careful planning, and he spoke to a shadow that could not be heard in response. He also expressed his concern that Guilliman was either misguided or a traitor, and that none could inherit the title Emperor. Ultimately, only mutual annihilation could prevent further war. The small, robed creature appeared from the shadow, and the Lion told it that it was too important to stop the conflict instead of fixing what was taking place on Caliban.
The story takes place 82 days after the Battle of Tsagualsa, as described in Savage Weapons (Short Story), and more than 2 years since the beginning of the Thramas Crusade. The events precede the continuation/end of the Thramas Crusade as described in Prince of Crows (Novella).

The Serpent Beneath
by Rob Sanders
performed by Sean Barrett
Omegon, one of the twin primarchs of the Alpha Legion, questions Legion Librarian Ursinus Echion on the status of a high-security Alpha Legion base named Tenebrae Station that is able to manipulate the Warp through a pylon array and that the Alpha Legion have used to keep the White Scars contained and ignorant on Chondax. After ending their conversation Omegon turns to Sheed Ranko, hidden from Echion's sight in the shadows, who helps him form a plan to neutralise a security leak by destroying the base.
Sigma Squad of the Alpha Legion Third Company, led by Sergeant Goran Setebos, are operating on Phemus IV to delay the White Scars conquest of the planet by manipulating Ork movements when they are recruited by Omegon for the mission. Xalmagundi, a rogue psyker with telekinetic powers, flees an attack by the Silent Sisters in an Imperial hive-city and is rescued by Sheed Ranko and Sigma Squad, who recruit her. Omegon tracks down Mechanicum adept and Alpha Legion operative Volkern Auguramus on a trading world and brings him on board. Together, the team plan to infiltrate and destroy Tenebrae base.
Omegon and Sigma Squad infiltrate the Tenebrae asteroid through tunnels in its core and lose one of their members to a gravity effect that crushes him. Carefully bypassing demiurg mining machines that are operating undetected in the asteroid's core and planting explosives they infiltrate the station, killing anyone who notices them. Aided by Auguramus who has taken over the station's security system they split up, Setebos and most of his squad going to neutralise the station's Alpha Legion garrison while Omegon takes two legionnaires to the prison level where captured psykers are used to fuel the pylon array. They free Xalmagundi, who was captured as part of the plan, and Omegon executes Echion for failing to prevent the security leak, but both teams fall into ambushes set up by the garrison's Astartes security officer Arvus Janic. Xalmagundi uses her powers to free the other psykers imprisoned at the facility and create chaos before Omegon sends her to the hangars with a marine to guard her so she can destroy the station's ships, while he goes to kill its Astropathic choir. Setebos's team take casualties and fall back to the hangars. Omegon finds Auguramus's corpse in the security hub after vengeful garrison members broke in, his survival never part of the plan and his last action to sow confusion by telling the station's Mechanicum forces that the Alpha Legion garrison had fallen under the control of the escaped psykers. The explosives the team placed within the asteroid are detonated, aggravating the demiurg mining machines that tunnel up into the facility and cause further chaos. Omegon kills the astropathic choir, preventing them from sending a distress message, but is ambushed by Arvus Janic and takes three bolter rounds to the gut. Revealing his true nature in order to confuse Janic, he escapes when the demiurg machines' attack breaches the station's atmosphere and causes mass decompression. Linking up with the others in the hangar they fall back onto the asteroid's surface, where Xalmagundi is using her power to send the whole asteroid hurtling towards the system's sun. Her job done, Omegon executes her. Squad Sigma ask why Sheed Ranko has not arrived to evacuate them as planned, and Omegon then removes his helmet, revealing that he is Sheed Ranko, sent by Omegon to impersonate him, and that they have all been on a suicide mission since the start. Faced with the hopelessness of the situation, Squad Sigma accept their fate.
On the bridge of the Beta, the real Omegon confers with Alpharius. Their conversation reveals that Alpharius is unaware that Tenebrae station, gifted to the Alpha Legion by the Cabal, has been destroyed, and Omegon lies to imply that the 'security breach' may remain unresolved, having made it up in the first place as a pretext for the station's destruction. Therefore, it can be deduced that Omegon is acting against Alpharius to secretly thwart his actions against the loyalists, destroying the station without his knowledge to rob their Legion of a powerful resource, and is therefore a secret loyalist himself. Retiring to his chamber he views his 'other', seemingly unadorned set of armour, and contemplates his Legion's secretive nature.
Tenebrae station, a top-secret facility capable of manipulating the Warp built into a remote asteroid.

Tiger Carstairs is rich, ambitious and English-so is it any wonder she is determined to hate her new master. Tiger dreams of making a new life beyond the aptly named Blue Mountains, so called because of the perpetual haze of blue surrounding them.
Mystic Mountains is a story of courage and persistence-traits that were essential for the settlers who carved out a new life in a raw land where suffering and heartbreak were commonplace.

About Paul's second letter to Timothy
This is Paul's second letter to Timothy. Paul was a great Christian teacher. He wrote this second letter to Timothy from a prison in Rome. Rome is the capital of the country that we call Italy. At that time, the
Some time earlier, Paul had made Timothy the leader of the Christians at Ephesus city. Ephesus was in the country that we call Turkey. When Paul wrote his first letter to Timothy, Timothy was in Ephesus (1 Timothy 1:3). And we think that Timothy was still in Ephesus when Paul wrote this letter to him.
We think that Paul wrote this letter at some time between AD 64 and AD 67. (That was more than 30 years after Jesus returned to God.)
Among the Christians at Ephesus, there were some people who were teaching wrong things. In his first letter to Timothy, Paul had told Timothy to stop those teachers. He told Timothy to teach the true Christian message. And in this letter, he tells Timothy to continue teaching it.
While he writes this letter, Paul knows that he will die soon. (See 4:6.) He wants to see Timothy again before he dies. (See 4:9.) Also, he wants Timothy to be ready for trouble. Timothy must remember that it is very important to obey Christ. He must be strong so that no troubles can stop him living for Christ.
We think that this is the last letter in the Bible from Paul. A short time after he wrote it, the
Paul thanks God for Timothy
Verses 6-7 At some earlier time, the Christian leaders had put their hands on Timothy and they had prayed for him. (See 1 Timothy 4:14.) At that time, God had given Timothy a special gift. That gift must have been some special authority to be a leader and a teacher. That authority came from God's Spirit.
Perhaps Timothy had been afraid to use that authority. So, Paul tells him that he must use it. He must be brave to teach the true Christian message. Then he will become stronger and stronger as a Christian teacher and leader.
Paul tells Timothy to be a brave teacher for Christ
Verse 12 It is not completely clear what the second part of this verse means. It could mean 'keep safe what I have given to him'. So Paul may be saying that he believes Christ to keep him (Paul) safe. Or it could mean 'keep safe what he has given to me'. Christ had chosen Paul to teach his good news. So Paul may be saying that he believes Christ to keep that good news safe.
'That great day' means the day when Jesus will decide about everyone. He will decide what should happen to them after their death. He will decide that because of what they have done during their life on earth.
Verse 15 'Asia' was in the west part of the country that we call Turkey. At that time, the
Verse 18 Again, 'that great day' means the day when Jesus will decide about everyone. He will decide what should happen to them after their death. (See also verse 12.)
A good soldier for Christ
Verse 8 David was a great king of Israel's people, about 1000 years before Christ came to this earth. (See, for example, 1 Samuel 16:1-13 and 2 Samuel 7:8-9; 8:15.)
'If we have died with Christ,
we will also live with him.
we will also rule with him.
But we must not say that we do not know Christ.
Because then he will also say that he does not know us.
he will never turn away from us.
He cannot do anything that is against his own nature.'
Verse 11 'If we have died with Christ' does not mean that our bodies have died. Christ died on our behalf, for everything that we do wrong. So, we do not need to die because of those things. But we do need to believe that Christ died for us. And we must give ourselves completely to him, because he is our master. Then he causes us to become like new people, who have started new lives. Our old lives have finished. So, we are like people who have died.
Verses 11-13 These words may be part of a Christian song that Paul knew.
A good worker for God
People will turn away from God in the last days
Verses 8-9 The Bible does not include the names Jannes and Jambres. But Israel's people believed that they were men from Egypt, many years ago. They did magic (things that people cannot usually do) for the king of Egypt. (See Exodus 7:11-12, 22; 8:7, 18-19; 9:11.)
Timothy must follow Paul's example
Verse 11 See Acts 13:50; 14:1-6, 19-20. Timothy's home was in Lystra (see Acts 16:1-5).
It is important for us to know the Bible
Verse 15 At that time, people would have known only the first part of the Bible, called the Old Testament. That part describes what happened before Jesus came to the earth.
Timothy must continue to do his work for God
Paul says that he will die soon
Verse 6 Israel's people
Verse 8 At that time, people often gave a crown (a special hat) to somebody who had won in athletics. So Paul is using the crown as a picture of what God will give his people. God will give a gift to everyone who really belongs to Christ. That gift is that we will always be completely right and happy. And we will live with him always.
Paul's last words to Timothy
Verse 10 Paul writes about a man called Demas in Colossians 4:14 and Philemon 24 also. We do not know if this Demas was the same person. Thessalonica was a city in the north part of the country that we call Greece.
We do not know who Crescens was. Galatia was the east part of the country that we call Turkey.
Titus was a man who had worked with Paul to teach the Christian message. (See, for example, Galatians 2:1; 2 Corinthians 2:13; 7:6; Titus 1:4-5.) Dalmatia was where the country called Albania is now (north and west from Greece).
Verse 11 Luke had travelled and worked with Paul. He wrote the books in the Bible called Luke and Acts. (See, for example, Acts 16:10-13; Colossians 4:14; Philemon 24.)
Mark (also called John) was perhaps the same person who had travelled with Paul earlier. (See Acts 13:5, 13.)
Paul may have sent the man called Tychicus to Ephesus city to continue Timothy's work there.
Verse 13 Troas was a city on the west coast of the country that we call Turkey.
Verse 19 Priscilla and her husband, Aquila, had met Paul at Corinth city. (See Acts 18:1-3.) Then they went with Paul to Ephesus and they stayed there for some time. (See Acts 18:18-26 and 1 Corinthians 16:19.) Later they went to Rome (see Romans 16:3-4). They must have been in Ephesus again when Paul wrote this letter.
Paul writes about Onesiphorus in 1:16.
Verse 20 The Bible includes the name 'Erastus' in Acts 19:22 and Romans 16:23. We do not know whether this Erastus was the same person. Corinth was a city in the south part of the country that we call Greece.
Acts 20:4-5 and 21:29 include the name 'Trophimus'. We do not know whether this Trophimus was the same person. Miletus was an important city on the coast, south from Ephesus (in Turkey).

Meaning of STOMA in English
or stomate
Any of the microscopic openings or pores in the epidermis of leaves and young stems.
They are generally more numerous on the undersides of leaves. They provide for the exchange of gases between the outside air and the interconnecting air canals within the leaf. A stoma opens and closes in response to turgor pressure within its two surrounding guard cells. Because the inner wall of each of these sausage-or bean-shaped cells is thicker than the outer wall, when they fill with water and become turgid they balloon outward, enlarging the stoma. A drop in carbon-dioxide levels to lower than normal also causes the guard cells to become turgid. Guard cells control excessive water loss from the plant, closing on hot, dry, or windy days and opening when conditions are more favorable.

The A-10 is the United States Air Force's primier close-air-support ground attack aircraft.
Designed in the 1970s, after experience in the Vietnam War showed a severe shortage of modern close-support aircraft is the US inventory. The A-10 was built around the lethal GAU-8 "Avenger" 30mm gatling gun, which was specifically designed as an airborne tank-killing weapon. The A-10 incorporates many other design features that help make this one of the most potent ground attack aircraft of all time. These include a titanium armored "bathtub" for the pilot, multiple redunancies to flight control mechanisms, fuel efficient turbofan for prolonged loitering in the battle zone, and a huge 16,000 pound bomb load (more than twice the capacity as the WW2 era B-17 Flying Fortress). The A-10s was designed primarily in the anti-tank role, with it's main mission to defend Western Europe from a Soviet ground invasion.
It wasn't until Operation Desert Storm that the A-10 saw it's first combat missions, where A-10s were credited with destroying more than 4100 Iraqi vehicles and artillery pieces. The A-10 also saw service in the Balkans conflict, Opration Iraqi Freedom, and the war in Afgahaistan. A-10s are is currently undertaking anti-ISIS missions in Iraq,, where they are being regularly called into action against Islamic militants. A plan to retire the A-10 fleet has been permanently post-poned by the Air Force until a suitable replacement is available.
Brickmania's A-10 Warthog was designed by Daniel Siskind and follows the same tough design philosophy as the original aircraft. The model is big, but durable, and has a lot of cool play features. These include moveable flaps and airbrakes, opening canopy, and folding landing gear. Brickmania designers Yitzy Kasowitz and Cody Osell each contributed small refinements to the model (like a functional "Ejection Seat"), as well as creating a whole host of extra armaments and the JS-1 bomb loader, for which instructions are provided (sorry, you'll have to dig up the parts for these optional extras).

Eurogamer has discovered a retailer offering Skyrim: Legendary Edition, with a release date of June 7th containing all the DLC add-ons. For fans that remember the wait, and rumors of release dates, for Dragonborn DLC, retailers are often known to create their own placeholders for games, so this may be all it is. It's obvious this isn't an actual cover, a closer look reveals that the Legendary Edition title is in a slightly different font and coloring.
Bethesda has yet to verify its existence, but with the recent announcement they were finished with Skyrim and moving on, releasing a collected edition makes sense. Perhaps it will be called the Legendary Edition with the last update containing the new feature allowing players to set difficulty to legendary.
Still sucks that they are done with Skyrim, but good news for fans waiting for the collected edition to dive into the game. The website listing it has the game priced at $53 for the 360 and PS3, and $44 for the PC, a pretty good deal assuming the price isn't just a placeholder as well. Stay tuned for more, we'll update this as soon as we get any official confirmation.

Get the Latest Free Cricket Betting Tips, Predictions & Odds here
Despite being a sport that's been around for almost a century and a half, free cricket betting tips and odds have taken off in major way only in recent times. Our cricket tipping website is about both, premium & free cricket betting tips & predictions and we will help you get your latest free cricket tips. Also, if you are looking at other sports betting tips like football betting tips, tennis betting tips or anything else, there's a good chance you will get it here.
The various markets involved with cricket betting are quite unique to the sport but the most common one is the match winner's market. In limited-overs matches, there're two options, with Team A or Team B winning it while Test match cricket allows the option of a drawn game as well.
The other famous cricket betting pre-match markets include the Top Team Batsman and the Top Team Bowler along with the market for the total sixes in the game (under/over).
Betting on cricket also provides an in-play option like the number of runs off the next ball, runs in a session of a Test match, how the next wicket will fall and so on.
Bookmakers come out with some excellent promotions and price boosts for cricket matches as they do with other sports like soccer and you can find the latest free cricket betting offers & promotions here. Of course, you can juxtapose these offers with our cricket betting tips to get the best of both worlds.
The various formats of the game have gone through the ups and downs one can associate with it, but contests like the Ashes, India-Pakistan matches, World Cup cricket and domestic competitions like the IPL have managed to remain some of the most sought-after contests in cricket.
The Ashes cricket betting is one of the most exciting given the history of the rivalry as well. It involves probably the last two countries in the world which still value Test match cricket and for those who enjoy betting on Test match cricket given the opportunities it involves given the fluctuating odds on changing pitches, it's the best place to bet.
After losing the Ashes year on year, England came back to regain the 2005 Ashes, often described as the best ever match-up between the two sides and since then the two teams seemed to be evenly-placed.
What that also does is to make Ashes betting an interesting call and not for the faint-hearted! Worry not, cricket betting on Test match in general and the Ashes in particular isn't too difficult either and if you want to understand how to bet on cricket, here's our guide to doing just that.
The India-Pakistan cricket encounters have been few and far between in any format given the tensions that exist between the two countries but on the odd occasion they face each other, there's no stoppage of entertainment.
What it also does is to allow for millions of dollars of betting across the wold, such is the interest in a game between India and Pakistan. Betting on India-Pakistan matches is almost a parallel economy in the two countries, such is the interest and there're reports the two might meet again at the end of the year.
Currently the ICC organises three major events – the 50-over World Cup, the 20-over World Twenty20 and the Champions Trophy. It comes as no surprise that World Cup betting, Champions Trophy betting and World T20 betting are well-liked by punters because of the longish nature of the tournaments and hence, allowing them a chance to come back by following and analysing a team's form over the court of the competition.
Australia are the reigning World Cup winners, having defeated New Zealand in the final of the previous tournament in 2015, while Sri Lanka triumphed in the last World T20 by overcoming the challenge of India in the final. India won the 2013 edition of the Champions Trophy and were the finalists in the 2017 edition, losing to Pakistan in the final.
While the Indian Premier League was by no means the first ever T20 league, it has certainly turned into the biggest one in the world and by some distance. Since the beginning of IPL in 2008, it has grown in numbers, in terms of fan following, player salaries and profits earned by the stakeholders and the amounts which are bet on its games.
The Australian cricket board was smart enough to realise they were missing out on a domestic T20 tournament of quality and they rejigged their then-existing KFC T20 Big Bash to convert it into a franchise-based Big Bash League. Not only are the free cricket betting tips for the BBL updated on that link, but you can also find out how to live stream the tournament.
The first season was held in 2008 and since then it has only seen an unprecedented growth, with cricket fans thronging the stadiums, game after game, even with their national team doing so well at the international level. Australia also host their 50-over domestic competition by the name of Matador BBQs One-Day Cup and all the free cricket betting tips for that tournament can also be found here.
Interestingly, since the inception of the format, England haven't stayed in touch with the reality, continued organising their domestic T20 competition which has seen too many games between the 18 counties and as a result it's not really taken off.
It's called the NatWest T20 Blast in its current avatar, following on from the Friends Life t20 but the good news for England cricket fans is that there have been talks at the highest level in the region to bring out a franchise-based T20 competition soon enough. Fingers crossed!
The NatWest T20 Blast squads for the 2017 season can also be found here.
England also have their own domestic one-day competition called the Royal London One-Day Cup where Durham start off defending champions and you can earn some bucks if you follow our match-winning tips there.
The latest news from South Africa is that they will have their first ever Africa T20 Cup this year, which could include a couple of other African countries as well, even as their Ram Slam T20 gains traction.
What has transpired is that in 2017, a new South African T20 tournament, called the Global League t20 has been kick-started & it is expected to include a host of international stars. Cricket betting tips for this competition will be updated closer to the tournament.
Other countries haven't been left out either, with the West Indies introducing the Caribbean Premier League which was one of the first tournaments that used concept of the Draft System for the selection of players.
The Sri Lanka Premier League didn't really take off after the first season while there are talks that the Bangladesh Premier League might make a comeback too, while Pakistan have held talks to bring out the Pakistan Super League to take over from their current domestic T20 competition.
For those still interested in watching those players from the yester-years, there will be a couple of different Masters tournaments that will be on show starting 2016. The Masters Champions League, that begins in February 2016, will be the first in line and it will be played in UAE.
Interestingly, UAE will be the venue for cricket's newest format – the T10 Cricket League – which will be played over 90 minutes and 10 overs a side! Can life get any more exciting for cricket-lovers?
And it's not just free cricket betting tips that we give on this website. Football and Tennis are two of the others we look to bring you the best tips for, while covering the main tournaments from some of the others sports as well.
When it comes to tennis betting tips, we will be looking to cover all the four majors, the Australian Open, the French Open, the Wimbledon and the US Open and offer you the latest tips in those tournaments.
In football, get all the latest odds for the English Premier League, Spanish La Liga, German Bundesliga, French Ligue 1 and the lower divisions like the English Championship football, League 1 and League 2 here. Even the newly-begun Indian Super League betting tips can be found here.

Long before the evil Queen Ravenna (Theron) was thought vanquished by Snow White's blade, she watched silently as her sister, Freya (Blunt), suffered a heartbreaking betrayal and fled their kingdom. With Freya's ability to freeze any enemy, the young ice queen has spent decades in a remote wintry palace raising a legion of deadly huntsmen—including Eric (Hemsworth) and warrior Sara (Chastain)—only to find that her prized two defied her one demand: Forever harden your hearts to love.
When Freya learns of her sister's demise, she summons her remaining soldiers to bring the Magic Mirror home to the only sorceress left who can harness its power. But once she discovers Ravenna can be resurrected from its golden depths, the wicked sisters threaten this enchanted land with twice the darkest force it's ever seen. Now, their amassing army shall prove undefeatable…unless the banished huntsmen who broke their queen's cardinal rule can fight their way back to one another.

What are the two types of antecedents?
Motivating Operations (MO) - establishes a consequence as a reinforcer or punisher; Discriminative Stimuli (SD) - lets you know that consequence is available if you engage in a particular behavior
1 of 13
How does preference influence motivating operations?
Preference for items changes, a person's desire or motivation for things changes over time and is affected by environmental factors (motivating operations is a general term that encompasses both establishing & abolishing operations)
2 of 13
What is motivating operations?
An environmental event, operation or stimulus condition that affects the organism by momentarily altering the reinforcing effects of a stimulus & frequency of behaviors that have previously been reinforced by that stimulus, object or event
3 of 13
What are unconditioned MO's?
unlearned e.g. water, food, sleep, activity, oxygen, sex deprivation, too hot, too cold, pain
4 of 13
What are conditioned MO's?
learned or conditioned e.g. calling a security guard upon hearing a suspicious sound and having them respond
5 of 13
What is the relationship between MO's and the availability of stimulus?
The MO can be in operation even if the consequence isn't available (can find a drink reinforcing even if a drink isn't available)
6 of 13
What is a discriminative stimulus?
A stimulus present prior to a response that is correlated with reinforcement (indicates that reinforcement is available)
7 of 13
What is the process of getting a drink in relation to a discriminative stimulus?
MO: you haven't had water in a few hours; SD: Soda machine; Behavior: Put money in the machine, purchase a bottle of water and drink ; Consequence: You are no longer thirsty
8 of 13
What is the process of sleeping in relation to a discriminative stimuli?
MO: You were up late at night and woke early to go to class; SD: The sofa has been correlated with sleep in the past; Behavior: You lay on the sofa and fall asleep; Consequence: You are no longer tired
9 of 13
What is stimulus control?
A higher (or lower) frequency of behavior is observed in the presence of a given stimulus (SD) because this stimulus is correlated (is predictive) with a higher (or lower) frequency of reinforcement for that behavior
10 of 13
What are the differences between SD's and MO's?
both precede a behavior; both evoke a response (control response frequency) but for different reasons; both are operant variables
11 of 13
What makes a stimuli discriminative?
indicates that reinforcement is available; in its absence the reinforcer is not usually available; a stimulus is a SD when the item is still reinforcing even in the absence of the SD
12 of 13
How to differentiate between an SD or a MO?
Does the reinforcer remain effective in the absence of the stimulus? If yes = Discriminative Stimulus. If no = Establishing Operation

Melbourne Museum
In city
Melbourne Museum is housed in the spaceship-like structure of metal and glass next to the Exhibition Building. It is the home of Phar Lap, Australia's champion racing horse, standing proud and tall in a dimly lit room. This is the museum's most popular exhibit, although you'll find most other exhibits here decidedly more upbeat. Bunjilaka is an Aboriginal cultural centre telling the Koorie story from the Koorie perspective – not just an academic selection of Aboriginal artefacts. Other features of the museum include dinosaur skeletons, a living rainforest and impressive displays on science, the mind and the body. Located in the same building is the IMAX Melbourne Museum, screening films in 2-D and 3-D. 11 Nicholson St, Carlton; 13 1102; open 10am–5pm Mon–Sun.

Loose-leaf tea shops are relatively uncommon in the United States. But there are some places you can buy loose tea, that you might not have thought about. This article explores some of those places.
Ethnic food stores
Tea culture is huge in many countries outside the U.S., and it makes sense that ethnic grocery stores can be some of the best places to buy loose-leaf tea. Not only are there products available that are not widely available in the U.S., but the prices are often very good. However, some cultures are more tea-centric than others, so you'll have better luck looking in certain types of stores than others, and the types of teas you'll find will depend on the countries or cultures being represented.
Most European groceries will sell a variety of black teas, often traditional blends like Earl Grey or fruit-flavored blends. Middle-eastern groceries typically sell a variety of strong black teas, including Assam, Ceylon, and the like. You will also find blends including cardamom and sometimes other spices, or fragrances like jasmine. There are usually a few smoky Chinese green teas available as well.
Chinese and Vietnamese groceries are a completely different beast; here you will typically find lots of oolong teas, as well as jasmine and other floral-scented teas. Japanese and Korean stores will typically sell Japanese green teas, things like sencha, bancha, genmaicha, hojicha, and the like.
Indian and Pakistani stores also typically sell mostly black tea, usually Assam (for a strong brew) or Darjeeling, for something lighter. These stores also are a great source of bulk spices, great for making masala chai.
Health food stores and cooperative groceries
Nearly all larger health food stores and cooperative groceries in the U.S. have a bulk herb section, which usually also includes tea. Typically, companies like Frontier Coop or Mountain Rose Herbs are the source of the products for sale. The herbs and tea are usually sold in a self-service station, which is great if you want to purchase a small amount of something, such as to sample it.
Spice stores and stands
Tea and spice are a natural pairing as far as retailers are concerned: both are aromatic products that sell for a high price per weight, and have similar storage needs. Look for such stands in farmer's markets and other markets where there are a lot of small stands. There are even larger, brick-and-mortar stores that specialize in both products.
Cafes or coffee shops that serve loose-leaf tea
Occasionally, coffee shops or cafes that serve loose-leaf tea, will also sell loose-leaf tea to customers who want it. The price usually isn't the lowest, but you can order a cup of what you're getting so you know what you're getting ahead of time. These businesses can be nice when you regularly drink a particularly tea in the cafe, and you want to enjoy the same product at home without having to go through the trouble of ordering it yourself. If you know that a cafe brews and serves loose-leaf, especially if you can see the jars or tins sitting behind the counter, it wouldn't hurt to ask whether or not they sell it in bulk too. Sometimes businesses don't even advertise that they do this!
Gift stores and other unexpected retail stores
Loose-leaf tea sometimes shows up in random retail stores that do not focus or specialize in food products. Tea can co-exist with the products sold in these stores because of its long product life, and because it doesn't take up much space on the shelf. Look for loose-leaf tea for sale in kitchenware stores, gift shops, or anywhere for that matter.
Alex Zorach is the founder and editor of RateTea, a social review site for tea drinkers, featuring reviews, brand listings, and articles on different styles and regions of production. The site also has local place listings and reviews. Explore the Tea Map to discover local tea businesses in your area.
One thing that sets our map apart from other maps published on other websites, is the inclusion of random businesses, such as ethnic groceries, gift shops, or other random retail stores, that sell high-quality loose leaf tea. If they sell it or serve it, it's fair game for listing on our map!

text: Transforming Socialist Economies: Lessons for Cuba and Beyond seeks to explore how diverse governments have tackled change in China, Vietnam, Eastern Europe, Russia, and Central Asia, and draw lessons for Cuba's future. The result is a provocative study that combines political and economic analysis to illustrate the detours, obstacles, and alternatives facing countries on the road from communism to capitalism.Although it has been nearly fifteen years since the end of the Cold War, the process of economic transition remains controversial, deeply divisive, and above all, incomplete. China and Vietnam have embraced a form of 'market socialism' that has produced impressive growth, while many Eastern European countries and the ex-Soviet republics are still grappling with the effects of the 'shock therapy' that radically remade their economies and societies in the 1990s. By contrast, Cuba initiated a process of market reform in the mid-1990s that stabilized the economy but created massive economic distortions that have deepened income inequality and fuelled the creation of the black market. This book seeks to illuminate the experience of economic transition by answering key questions. Why did Russia's privatization process go so awry? How did the Czech Republic succeed where Slovakia failed? Why does Central Asia continue to lag behind? What are the secrets of the 'Uzbek growth puzzle'? How has China managed its relations with the United States? Is Vietnam's process of 'doi moi' a useful example for Cuba? Can the advice of the IMF and World Bank be trusted? By exploring how socialist economies have tackled change, this book proposes reforms to help Cuba recover lost ground and achieve sustained growth. But the relevance of these essays also extends far beyond Cuba to encompass important lessons for a broad spectrum of communist and post-communist countries.

10 Renowned Tamilians in America
By SiliconIndia | Monday, 26 November 2012, 11:36 Hrs | 6 Comments
Bangalore: The outstanding achievements of Indian Americans in various sectors ranging from business and academics to media and politics make us proud of our rich Indian heritage and culture. It is not a matter of surprise to note that there is an increasing number of Tamilians representing our country in the U.S.

She was one among Time's list of 100 most influential people in the world and she also bagged the top position of most powerful woman in business, by a ranking done by Forbes (2009 and 2010).
According to Nooyi, ''Just because you are CEO, don't think you have landed. You must continually increase your learning, the way you think, and the way you approach the organization. I've never forgotten that.''
Nooyi joined the company PepsiCo in the year 1994 and was appointed to the post of CFO in 2001.She rose to the position of CEO in 2007 and has been contributing a major share in the development of the company for more than a decade.

This kind of stupid article promotes this culture more
Why do we have to say Tamilians and not Indians. This is one of the biggest problem with Indians. We don't treat India as one country. Every time I meet some Indian first thing they want to know what part of India I belong to language I speak. :(
This kind of stupid article promotes this culture more

This trip was haunted a little bit, but my eldest boy was accompanying me, so I prepared it well – yet almost everything failed. One way or another my e-mails got lost or never found the receiving mail box. This time, there was no fancy military bike with those desirable plates available. My local contacts in Phnom Penh were on a training mission and not scheduled to return soon. A regular bike rental would do the job as well, but I had some requests. The Daelim motodup (motorbike taxi) specialty seat had to give way for an ordinary motorcycle seat. Well, we stayed somewhere near the Independence monument, at a guesthouse in some 5 $/night room. Phnom Penh did not attract Franky a lot, he wanted to get to the coast. So we did the 48 hour crash course for tourists, and I tried to include as many sights and places as possible. Mechanics fixed our rental bike meanwhile. Watch those extra-cargo seat platforms below, and make sure your bike doesn't have such fancy outfit. Unless you plan to go with 3, 4 or 5 people, they are as uncomfortable as can be!
The chrome grip between the seats will try its best to give your butt some good kicks at potholes or on rough roads. Horrible for a grown-up, as you sit confined to a space, which is made for Asian sized people. That's quite a difference from my 5'11" frame (180+cm).
As work progressed, we planned this day in detail. Boeng Kak Lake's backpacker district for a possible sunset over the lake, then the famous bars and restaurants with a dinner along Sisowath Quay.
We made the backpackers hideout on the lake, but it was cloudy, so no sunset visible.
My question, if my boy figured those garlic fried spiders (from the preceding report) taste better with mustard or with ketchup, he gave me this look:
Sharky, the famous pool bar was on the way south again. So we looked around a bit, but didn't want to waste too much time. Snooker was also not our favorite thing. But their 24h convenient store Sharky Mart had imported ice cream in stock. We felt like we needed one and opted to eat one each on the spot.
The next stops were along the river on Sisowath Quay. Happy Pizza or Wagon Wheel? Franky didn't like either, none had a view of the Bassac river.
We ended up on the first floor of the FCC (Foreign Correspondents Club) and ate a late dinner. The view from up there is decent, as you can see the Bassac (or Tonle river) meeting the Mekhong from there well.
A full day of market shopping and S 21 were on our agenda for the next day. We started off in the early morning with a visit to the sculpture makers village in a remote southern part of town.
Then we spent some time at each of the 3 big markets, the Psar Thmei, the Olympic Market and finally the Russian Market.
The Russian Market is not far from Toul Sleng, the famous S 21 concentration camp, along the way are typical Cambodian motorcycle repair shops, about 50 of them, side by side.
We finally got to the famous place, where many lost their lives at the hand of Khmer Rouge killers. It looks not so bad from the outside. The razor-wire and barbed wires on the former school's fence looked old.
Inside the compound, several school type buildings with three levels each do not tell of the horror scenarios, which happened mostly inside the former school rooms. It is a museum now and displays a lot of the gear, that the K.R. used on their prisoners here. Only few survivors were ever known to have lived through this.
Franky had a lot of questions, and the little brochure we got at the entrance helped to answer. He was going to present some work for his own class, regarding Pol Pot and his killer crews, upon his return to school. This was a real on-hand experience for my son. To see the gallows, where many were killed and other tools, where torture was inflicted and inmates tied down to die.
Some rooms displayed hundreds of black and white photographs of those that vanished within these walls. Franky was emotionally distressed and we called it a day after this. He lost any appetite and just wanted to rest. This always takes a toll on me as well, and I am sure glad that some gruesome evidence is no longer on display here. The one item I will never forget, is the huge skull map of Cambodia, which was made entirely out of human remains. They took it down after the Millennium some day and never put it back up again.
The next day was going to get us to Sihanoukville on the coast, where we will almost end our loop-journey around some parts of this great country. We went to bed early to catch the first bus, after we bought the tickets at the bus terminals counter.

From Tennessee, USA:
I have been a school bus driver for 5 years, and now that I'm a diabetic on insulin I am no longer able to do my job! I was working part time for a Headstart as a driver and now the government says I can't drive any more. This takes away half my family income. Can you help me find the law or reason why I'm not able to work any more as a bus driver? I have talked to many people that say this isn't fair and I have to agree. I want to work.
I agree, it doesn't seem fair. But there are regulations from the Department of Transportation that spell out that people with diabetes who are taking insulin shots are not eligible to get the necessary DOT medical certificate. Fortunately, there's an effort underway to reverse this rule; the American Diabetes Association has been very active in this issue.

There has been some incredibly overheated, hyperbolic rhetoric from the left after the Supreme Court's 5-4 Voting Rights Act decision, particularly directed at Justice Clarence Thomas.
Thomas has been branded some sort of race traitor by those who disagree with his judicial and/or political philosophy even though we live in a country that celebrates diversity — which should and must include diversity of thought under the First Amendment.
For example, an obscure Member of Congress, Ryan WInkler (D – MN), referred to Justice Thomas as "Uncle Thomas" — a tweet that has since been deleted with a follow-up apology.
The ruling in question overturned one section of the 1965 law that requires certain states to obtain approval (i.e., preclearance) from the feds for any changes to voting laws. The rest of the measure remains on the books, and Chief Justice Roberts wrote that Congress is free to revise the outdated provision that the majority of justices deemed unconstitutional.
Regardless of the merits of the court's conclusion, perhaps the most unhinged, if not disgusting, criticism of Thomas came from Georgetown University Professor Michael Eric Dyson. The professor, an MSNBC political analyst, had this to say on the network about Thomas in the context of the VRA decision:
"… Clarence Thomas' actions… though consistent, though tragic to me, are even more so in light of the bulk of decisions he's rendered in the name of a judicial vote on the Supreme Court. A symbolic Jew has invited a metaphoric Hitler to commit holocaust and genocide upon his own people."
Dyson's MSNBC commentary drawing a totally absurd connection between the worst act of genocide in history and a court decision over which reasonable people can disagree was denounced by the Anti Defamation League. "We are shocked that anyone would draw such an outrageous comparison between a ruling rendered by justices working within the bounds of our constitutional democracy, and the murderous deeds of the Nazis during the Holocaust… As we have said repeatedly, there is no place for comparisons between social or political issues in the 21st century and the genocidal actions of Hitler and the Nazis, whose crimes against humanity and role in the deaths of six million Jews and millions of others were unique in history and should be respected as such."
According to the US Census Bureau, blacks actually voted at a higher rate than whites in the 2012 election.
In light of his offensive remarks that trivialize the Holocaust, do you think MSNBC should continue to give Michael Eric Dyson a platform?
