Rise of a Dark Queen
Disclaimer: I do not under any circumstances own any of the recognisable characters, scenes, places etc. With the exception of the odd original character that may or may not be included at some point in the story, as well as the phrases or spells which would have been translated into the appropriate languages via internet translation websites. I apologise now in advance if any of the translations are incorrect, languages are not my strong point. Any other recognisable work belongs to the appropriate owners and if quotes/songs are used I will hopefully have the right information to credit to the owners.
A.N: this story is heavily A.U and though there are certain events from canon that remain the same or key points are there but done slightly different it fits firmly into the; what ifs? Of the world since I am a firm fan of this type of fan fiction. If this is not something you like then don't read.
I am influenced by everything I read, see and hear in everyday life and multiple fan fictions, published work; films may have greatly influenced me when writing this story. I apologise now if it seems to similar to another piece of work on this site, it was never my intention and I hope you are able to stick with it long enough to see the differences, upon saying that I have not read every fan fiction on here either. It was also never my intention to make it seem like a crossover fan fiction and there also maybe many myths and legends influencing the story here from across the world. Another key warning: this is a female Harry Potter, this story will be dark, mature and depending on your view point boarder horror and much, much more again if this is something you don't like please do not read, and though it may start of slow the further along the story is written the darker it gets.
Another final warning, my spelling, grammar and all else isn't perfect. Any mistake that is made is mine solely and I hope that they were few and far between. If mistakes are obvious and are happening regularly by all means let me know and I will correct them. All reviews are welcome however if you are flaming for the sake of flaming then I really don't want to know. I am not a published author, I am not perfect and I am not making money out of this. This story is purely for fun and I am writing it for my enjoyment, if others enjoy it as well then that is an added plus.
Enjoy, and remember I do not own the story, characters or anything else, but the time it has taken me to write and that was given freely.
Godric's Hollow; Great Britain.
Saturday the 31st October 1981
Grindelwald couldn't help but snort at the predictability of Albus Dumbledore. He had known for the last few months that the Potters were hiding in Godric's Hollow, the very place that he and Dumbledore had met many years ago, the man was a sentimental old fool and it would be that fact that would be his undoing, once of course he had destroyed the child of the prophecy and the girl's mother. Once that was done there was little that would stand in his way or that of his heir, together the two of them were simply too strong. All he had needed was the missing piece of the puzzle, the exact location of their house, the secret that their Secret Keeper so willingly divulged the moment he became Secret Keeper and now it was time to destroy the threat before the child could become exactly that, a threat.
The words for the Killing Curse had been on the tip of his tongue the moment he blasted the front door open, not giving the occupants a chance to even put up a fight, Potter fell dead in a matter of seconds, it was a waste of a son of the pureblood line, but he was little more than a blood traitor and a means to an end.
And now he was here, standing with nothing but a door and his true target, it was almost laughable how easy it had been. The lights supposed saviour hadn't even had the proper protections that would have befitted her and now he was going to snuff the life out of her. A careful flick of his wand and the door blasted inwards, and he came face to face with the girl's mother, a fiery red haired witch whose power was dripping off her. It was a pity she was a Mudblood, she was a powerful and pretty witch, who would have provided him with some entertainment at the very least, but she was impure and he would never sully himself with such a thing. The woman's green eyes flashed dangerously as raised her wand and took a defensive position.
'Stand aside you stupid girl!' he hissed at her.
'Never! I won't let you harm my daughter.'
'Do you think you could possibly stop me Mudblood, you barely have half the power I wield?' He laughed,
'I have enough. You aren't touching Hallie.' She spat, her wand raised before directing a curse at him. 'Confringo!'
Grindelwald narrowly stepped aside from the blasting curse before throwing his own back, but the Mudblood managed to deflect it. She shot another curse, this one surprised him he would never have suspected the Mudblood, to know the blood boiling curse, definitely a question of morality of someone who was supposedly light. He raised his wand, shielding himself and letting the curse hit the wall. There was no denying this woman was a lioness protecting her cub.
'Stand aside, Mudblood.' He hissed, 'This is your last chance unless you wish to join your husband and daughter.'
'Not Hallie! Not Hallie! Please – I'll do anything -' he was pleased to see a touch of hysteria had reached her voice, the woman was afraid, she was weak. He could feel the power rising in the room could feel the air thicken with magic that was neither light nor dark, it simply was. He looked at the woman in disbelief as she chanted a spell he had never heard before. Enough was enough, he needed to end this now a jet of green light the colour of the woman's eyes flew out from his wand and hit her in the chest. Her body crumpled to the floor face-down, her eyes wide with open surprise.
He stepped over the body making his way to the crib where the toothless girl sat staring up wide-eyed at him. He could detect no fear in her green eyes, the same as her mothers. She was pretty baby, or as pretty as babies could be, and if she wasn't destined to die tonight she would perhaps grow up one day to be a beautiful woman, but alas it was not meant to be.
'So little one, you have the power to destroy me and my heir.' He whispered softly, the girl was watching him, her eyes far to calm for a child her age when facing a threat, but she was exactly that. Calm! Almost as if she knew she was going to die and wasn't concerned with it.
'Goodbye child!' he raised his wand for the third time that night, the Killing Curse leaving his lips. 'Avada Kedavra!'
The magic that filled the air broke free the moment the curse left his lips, he watched in horror as the girls green eyes flashed black and she smiled as the curse hit her before bouncing, pain ripped through him as the magic tore him apart, rebounding from the girl and then he knew no more….
Voldemort felt the magic the moment he apparated onto the scene. It felt so enticingly good and powerful that he could barely suppress the shiver that ran down his body. He frowned immediately, the magic was dark, incredibly dark but he had never reacted like that before to dark magic, never before had he felt like he was an addict getting a fix but right now the air was alive with raw power and it was intoxicating, with the scent of jasmine on the air he knew without a doubt that his mentor was dead. The girl had actually defeated him, anger caroused through him, Grindelwald was an impulsive fool at times yes but he was a powerful wizard, a very powerful wizard who should not have been so easily destroyed.
Voldemort entered the house, barely sparing a glance at the fallen blood traitor and made his way directly to the room where he could feel the magic coming from the strongest. He saw the dead body of the mudblood on the floor and the scorched robes of Grindelwald but there was no sign of his body. So he is dead, in body at the very least, he mused before his eyes finally set on the child that had caused so much destruction and build up of power. The dark haired girl was sitting up in the bed, tears streaming down her face as blood dripped from her forehead, it was pathetic, a crying baby, though they were silent tears at least that was something. He moved closer to the girl, he had a job to finish, he would not let this child live tonight, he would succeeded where his mentor had failed and then he would work on the rest of their plans. But first things first, he raised his wand 'Nothing personal child, you simply cannot be allowed to live.' He hissed before saying the words. 'Aveda Kedavra!'
Voldemort watched in fascination as the green light flew straight towards the girl, watched as the magic in the air swirled around her protectively in greens, reds, silvers and golds but the most predominate was the black, dark magic, seamlessly absorbing the spell before firing it back directly at him. He didn't have time to dodge the spell, didn't have time to do anything but simply let the raw magic hit him and coarse through his body, he expected pain but it wasn't what he felt, he felt nothing but pure bliss, pure raw power running through him, lighting his body on fire, he drunk it up greedily and readily but it was too much and it was already starting to consume him, every nerve ending within him was tingling with pleasure and just as quickly as it was there it was gone.
Tom Riddle fell to the floor gasping for breath and hating himself for the moment of weakness, but he felt cold, so cold and numb. Empty inside, that magic had been….addictive…but so good, so delicious, so dark….he stared at the girl in shock; who was watching him curiously, her green eyes staring at him. She hadn't died, she had survived yet another killing curse and not only that she had ripped away his glamour's as Voldemort and returning him to his rightful state. So he couldn't kill her yet, with magic, but that didn't mean he wouldn't find a way.
'I have a feeling child you are going to be more trouble than first thought.' He hissed in Parseltongue 'Brat.'
'Brat!' the girl hissed back at him.
He stared at her, the girl had just spoken in Parseltongue, well that certainly changed things. He watched as she smiled at him as he picked her up, he couldn't help but smirk in return.
'Maybe I won't kill you yet.'
She didn't respond, instead he watched in horror as she rested her head on his shoulder, a small hand going for his hair and fingers began to twist them around. He sneered; 'Stop that!' but the girl blatantly ignored him. I am one of the most feared Dark Lords and yet a baby doesn't fear me, this is ridiculous he thought before apparating out of the destroyed house and as close to Hogwarts as he could.
Tuesday 3rd November 1981
When Mr and Mrs Dursley woke up on the dull, grey Tuesday little did they know that their lives were about to be drastically changed. There was nothing about the cloudy sky outside to suggest that strange and mysterious things would soon be happening all over the country and that it would soon call at number 4 Privet Drive.
Dark grey clouds lay thick across the night sky, obscuring the stars that were shinning bright. In fact the sky looked so dark and grey it seemed that the very heavens wanted to break forth. A cat sat on the wall outside a house in a street that looked like nothing extraordinary could ever happen. The cat didn't so much as quiver when a car door slammed in the next street, nor when two owls swooped overhead. In fact, it was nearly midnight before the cat moved at all.
A man appeared on the corner on the cat had been watching, appeared so suddenly and silently you'd have thought he'd just popped out of the ground. The cat's tail twitched and its eyes narrowed. Nothing like this man had ever seen in Privet Drive. He was tall, thin and very old, judging by the silver of his hair and beard, which were both long enough to tuck into his belt. He was wearing long robes, a purple cloak which swept the ground and high-heeled, buckled boots. His blue eyes were light, bright and sparkling behind half-moon spectacles and his nose was very long and crooked, as though it had been broken at least twice. This man's name was Albus Dumbledore. He approached the cat with a very amused expression on his face, as if he wasn't surprised to see it there at all.
'Fancy seeing you here Professor McGonagall.'
He turned to smile at the tabby, but it had gone. Instead he was smiling at a rather severe-looking woman who was wearing square glasses exactly the shape of the markings the cat had around its eyes. She, too, was wearing a cloak, an emerald one. Her black hair was drawn into a tight bun. She looked distinctly ruffled.
'How did you know it was me?' she asked.
'My dear Professor, I've never seen a cat sit so stiffly.'
'You'd be stiff if you'd been sitting on a brick wall all day,' Professor McGonagall sniffed angrily.
'All day? When you could have been celebrating? I must have passed a dozen feasts and parties on my way here.'
'Oh yes, everyone's celebrating all right.' She said impatiently. 'You'd think they'd be a bit more careful, but no – even the Muggles have noticed something's going on. It was on their news.'
'You can't blame them.' Dumbledore replied gently. 'We've had precious little to celebrate for a very long time. Almost fifty years to be precise.'
'I know that,' Professor McGonagall answered irritably. 'But that's no reason to lose our heads. People are being downright careless, out on the streets in broad daylight, not even dressed in Muggle clothes, swapping rumours.'
She threw a sharp, sideways glance at Dumbledore, as though hoping he was going to tell her something, but he didn't, so she went on: 'A fine thing it would be if, just days after Grindelwald disappeared at last, the Muggles found out about us all. I suppose he really has gone, Dumbledore?'
'It certainly seems so.' Dumbledore answered.
'And his heir?'
'There has been no sign of either.'
'What they're saying,' she carried on, 'is that last night Grindelwald turned up in Godric's Hollow. He went to find the Potters. The rumour is that Lily and James Potter are – are that they're – dead.'
Dumbledore bowed his head. Professor McGonagall gasped.
'Lily and James…..I can't believe it … I didn't want to believe it …..Oh Albus….'
Dumbledore reached out and patted her on the shoulder. 'I know….I know…' he said heavily.
Professor McGonagall's voice trembled as she went on. 'That's not all. They're saying he tried to kill the girl, little Hallie. But – he couldn't. He couldn't kill the girl. No one knows why, or how, but they're saying that when he couldn't kill Hallie Potter, Grindelwald power somehow broke and that's why he's gone.'
Dumbledore nodded glumly.
'It's – it's true?' she faltered. 'After all he's done…..all the people he's killed….he couldn't kill the girl? It's astounding ….of all the things to stop him….but how in the name of heaven did she survive?'
'We can only guess.' Dumbledore answered, 'We may never know.'
Professor McGonagall pulled out a lace handkerchief and dabbed at her eyes beneath her spectacles. Dumbledore gave a great sniff as he took a golden watch from his pocket and examined it. It was a very odd watch. It had twelve hands but no numbers; instead, little planets were moving around the edge. It must have made sense and said, 'Hagrid's late. I suppose it was he who told you I'd be here, by the way?'
'Yes.' she answered. 'And I don't suppose you're going to tell me why you're here of all places.'
'I've come to bring the Hallie to her aunt and uncle. They're the only family she has left now.'
'You don't mean – you can't mean the people who live here?' cried Professor McGonagall, jumping to her feet and pointing at number four. 'Dumbledore – you can't. I've been watching them all day. You couldn't find two people who are less like us. And they've got this son – I saw him kicking his mother all the way up the street, screaming for sweets. Hallie Potter come and live here!'
'It's the best place for her.' Dumbledore said firmly. 'Her aunt and uncle will be able to explain everything to her when she is older. I've written a letter.'
'A letter?' repeated Professor McGonagall faintly, sitting back down on the wall. 'Everyone in our world will know the girls name, and you have written a letter to explain things to her.'
'Exactly.' Dumbledore replied, looking very seriously over the top of his half-moon glasses. 'It would be enough to turn any one's head. Famous before she can walk and talk! Famous for something she won't even remember! Can't you see how much better off she will be, growing up away from all that until she is ready to take it?'
Professor McGonagall opened her mouth, changed her mind, swallowed and then said 'Yes – yes, you're right, of course. But how is she getting here, Dumbledore?' She eyes his cloak suddenly as though she thought he might be hiding the baby underneath it.
Dumbledore didn't have the chance to answer, a low rumbling sound had broken the silence around them. It grew steadily louder as they looked up and down the street for some sign of a headlight, it swelled to a roar as they both looked up at the sky – and a huge motorbike fell out of the air and landed on the road in front of them.
If the motorbike was huge, it was nothing to the man sitting astride it. He was almost twice as tall as a normal man and at least five times as wide. He looked simply too big to be allowed and so wild – long tangles of bushy black hair and beard hid most of his face, he hand hands the size of dustbin lids and his feet in their leather boots were like baby dolphins. In his vast, muscular arms he was holding a bundle of blankets.
'Hagrid.' Dumbledore whispered, sounding relieved. 'At last. And where did you get the motorbike?'
'Borrowed it, Professor Dumbledore, sir.' The giant replied, climbing carefully off the motorbike as he spoke. 'Young Sirius Black lent it me. I've got her, sir.'
'No problems were there?'
'No, sir.'
Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall bent forward over the bundle of blankets. Inside, just visible, was a baby girl who had a mop of raven black hair and a lightning bolt shaped scar just visible on her forehead, her bright green eyes were wide open and watching the three of them curiously, there was a small smile on her lips as she took in the world around her.
'Is that where -?' whispered Professor McGonagall.
'Yes.' Dumbledore replied. 'She will have that scar for the rest of her life.'
'Couldn't you do something about it, Dumbledore?'
'Even if I could, I wouldn't. Scars can come in useful. I have one myself above my left knee which is a perfect map of the London Underground. Well – give her here, Hagrid – we'd better get this over with.'
Dumbledore took the girl into his arms who laughed lightly at the old wizard and turned towards the Dursley's house.
'Could I – could I say goodbye to her sir?' asked Hagrid.
He bent his great, shaggy head over the baby and gave her what must have been a very scratchy kiss. Then suddenly he let out a howl like a wounded dog.
'Shh!' hissed Professor McGonagall.
'It is not goodbye forever Hagrid.' Dumbledore soothed. He laid the girl gently on the doorstep, took a letter out of his cloak, tucked it inside the blankets and then came back to the other two. For a full minute the three of them stood and looked at the little bundle; Hagrid's shoulder shook, Professor McGonagall blinked furiously and the twinkling light that usually shone from Dumbledore's eyes seemed to have gone out.
'Well.' Dumbledore said finally, 'That's that. We've no business staying here. We may as well go and join the celebrations.'
One by one the three of them disappeared, Dumbledore being the last to leave gave one last glance over his shoulder, just able to see the bundle of blankets.
'Good luck Hallie.' He whispered before disappearing.
A breeze ruffled the neat hedges of Privet Drive, which lay silent and tidy under the inky sky, the very place you would expect astonishing things to happen. Hallie Potter rolled over inside her blankets and fell fast asleep. One small hand closed on the letter beside her. She slept on through the night, not knowing that she was special, not knowing that she was famous, not knowing she would be woken in a few hours time by Mrs Dursley's screams as she opened the front door to put out the milk bottle, nor that she would spend the next few weeks being prodded and pinched by her cousin Dudley….She couldn't know that at this very moment, people meeting in secret all over the country were holding up their glasses and saying in hushed voices: To Hallie Potter – the Girl who Lived!

Tickling in My Ears
Unit Summary
The strength of a music lesson lies in the ability of the pupils to transfer knowledge into practice whereas for Science, it is applying knowledge into real-life situations. Therefore this project focuses on the practical aspects specifically gaining skills for music, and application of knowledge in everyday life for Science.
Pupils play the role of Music Education Officers from the Education Department to cultivate music literacy in students, teachers and parents as well as to enable them to realize the important role that sounds play in everyday situations.
This project is specially designed to incorporate project-based learning in weekly lesson with planned practical training and a field trip to a teachers training institute. They will be interviewing a music personnel and record a formal music lesson.
Based on the collected information via field trip, Internet, and other resources, pupils will produce the following products:
- The Musical Moment Blog on experiences and reflection
- The Sounds of Life Multimedia Presentation (ppt)
- Pitch Paradise Brochure
As a concluding activity, all the products and skills acquired will be showcased during the school monthly assembly. All the products will be uploaded to the school's website to allow comments from parents. All the products and skills acquired will be evaluated using assessment rubrics and practical task sheets.
Curriculum-Framing Questions
- Essential Question
Do you like your ears be tickled?
- Unit Questions
What are the sounds of life?
How can pitch levels be used in our lives?
How can you produce different pitch levels?
- Content Questions
What are the sounds that soothe you?
What are the sounds that irritate you?
What is pitch?
What is Curwen hand signs?
How does the hand sign position change with pitch level?
What are the household objects that can produce high/intermediate/low pitch level?
What are the sounds that have specific purposes in our lives?
How do you sing a chosen folk song using solfege and hand signs?
How do you create rhymes using different pitch levels?
Assessment Processes
The assessment starts with a session where the pupils will be hearing some sounds clips. Brainstorming session is done to access their prior knowledge on sounds with different pitch levels. Further discussion is done to channel pupils towards thinking about the different and significant use of sounds around them. Questioning using the Curriculum-Framing Questions helps pupils develop their higher-order thinking skills and sparks discussion throughout the unit.

Contributed by Marjorye of São Paulo-based Estúdio Quadrilátero.
The Bros & Bikers Cafe comes with an ideal of becoming a meeting place for motorcyclists and lovers of this adventurous lifestyle. The atmosphere created is welcoming, pleasant and organized, a perfect location for friends gathering. It's worth pointing out that it was taken into account the presence of the female audience, a growing population in this environment.
Next to the cafe space a "bike-wash" was installed, as well as a gift shop with articles related to the style, and a repair shop specialising in Harley Davidson models. This created a service centre for bikers.
The identity
As the cafe is a casual place with the goal of serving as an entertainment venue where friends sharing the same interests and pleasures meet, Estúdio Quadrilátero felt obligated to create a playful and dynamic visual identity.
A differential was the creation of three logos, with the most appropriate one chosen depending on the media outlet, allowing the maintenance of the developed identity.
To ensure uniformity, some elements including the typography were common in the three logos. The black and white colours were chosen in order to preserve the main reference of the motorcycle universe and also add a classic air to the brand.
The vintage pieces are another feature, and the corresponding typographic language was well explored in other items of the visual identity. The black and white theme was maintained and three auxiliary fonts were adopted.

I dont need the search bar so could happily replace it, and the widget would take up the same space as it is a dropdown menu. Could anybody tell me what code i might have to change in the templates to get this to happen. Thank you Sidra baileyandjames.com July 22, 2013 at 10:31 pm #130712 DevinModerator Hi Sidra, Its pretty straight forward if you are familiar with wordpress and coding for it but a good beyond being able to walk you through it via support. The basics of it are you'll be registering a new widget area (same thing as a sidebar) with a function and then adding the widget area to be output in your header in place of the search. Then you re-style the div as needed to still work for desktop, tablet and mobile. See: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/register_sidebar Regards, Devin Author Posts Viewing 2 posts - 1 through 2 (of 2 total) The topic 'Replace search bar in header with widget' is closed to new replies.

Gisele Bundchen kept her barely there baby bump covered up yesterday while out for lunch with pals in LA.

Later on, she headed home to change into workout gear for a stroll with Tom and little John. Gisele recently opened up about how her new roles of wife and mother have affected her attitude toward going out and working, though she's still making room in her life for the people and causes that matter.

There is a small "park" in the middle of the block which is always padlocked.. Someone must have a key because there has been loads of garbage dumped in the lot.. It is a huge eyesore! It is full of old couches, mattresses, random bags of garbage.. Something has to be done about this. It couldn't be more disgusting.· Reported by ND · Share · Flag Flagged
Joe (Guest)
It is really gross. It is city owned property but I think the block captain has a key. The debris does not set a good example for our block or the city of Philadelphia.
ND (Registered User)
The block captain for our block is joke. He does have a key to the park gate, and I have seen him on multiple occasions dragging more junk and old furniture into it. This is a terrible situation. I agree with Joe- it makes our block look like a mess and it does set a bad example for our neighborhood and the city.
ND (Registered User)
I witnessed the Block captain putting old pieces of dirty, gross furnishings in the "park" the other day. It is really horrible that this condition exists! The block captain and the city should be putting an effort forth to clean up our blocks and use the precious open space in the city wisely. This "park" could be an asset, instead of an eye-sore. I would love to see it turned into a community garden for our block. Can something be done about this!?
Debris in Bike Lane ► Archived407-499 S 22nd St Philadelphia, PA
Update 2/2/13: the lane was cleared late fall '12. However it's due for another sweep already. The round seed pod debris is persistent and dangerous to bike tires. This should be a regular maintenance item. Thank you.
The portion of the 22nd St bike lane along the parking lot has been jammed up with tree debris for as long as I can remember (a year or more?). The bike lane also loses some width in this block, and combined with the junk in the lane it is dangerous and I have seen bikers swerve into the car travel lane to avoid it. Now the fallen tree debris is impeding even more on the bike lane and contrary to popular belief it is not washing away in the rain or composting itself into the pavement. I believe it should be the city's job to sweep or scrape up this debris to avoid a total bike lane takeover and lots of swerving bikes. Please.· Reported by Ksugar6 · Share · Flag Flagged

People in my South Philly neighborhood use the alley way in which my apartment is right next to it as a private bath room ,people urinate ,and also it's human feces in the alley way ,the smell is unbearable for me my wife and my son.I call Ms. Anna Verna office the staff member told me it's nothing they or the city can do about it. I live here i'm a tax payer i work every day then i have to smell that pea smell every day? it's the smell that get under my skin ,it's even worst on hot day's soon as i walk in to or out of my apartment the smell take me away people also dump trash or what ever else they can find to throw in the alley way i try to keep it clean by putting bleach water and i also try to keep it sweept ,and clean the best way that i can ,but the main problem is the people of Philadelphia they just don't care enough to respect any thing. The main problem it's a bar on the corner of 23rd & Snyder Ave. most of the problem come from the people that go to bar trash every where, no parking for people that do live in the neighborhood ,and they use the alley way as a private bath room. I've seen better days in Philadelphia when people use to take pride in cleaning up and taking care of there neighborhood not any more this city is nothing but a dumping ground people will walk past trash like it ain't nothing. All up ,and down Snyder Ave. is nothing but trash. People who leave trash in front of there business or home or what ever should be fined city council should pass a trash bill because the city is full to the top with trash.· Reported by gary green II · Share · Flag Flagged

The Kaiser Health Tracking Poll is the Foundation's signature survey project, providing consistent and up-to-date information on the public's opinions, knowledge, and experiences with the U.S. health care system. Since the passage of the Affordable Care, the Kaiser Health Tracking Poll has been a primary tool for monitoring all aspects of public opinion on the ACA, including overall favorability on the law, opinion on a wide variety of its provisions, public familiarity with what is (and is not) in the law, early experiences, and awareness and views of state-level decisions about implementation. See all health tracking polls below.
Our Health Tracking Poll Interactive allows users to track public opinion on the Affordable Care Act, from the inception of the law to the present, for subgroups based on age, race, income, gender, party identification and insurance status.

Kaiser Health Tracking Poll: August 2015
With renewed discussion of the high cost of prescription drugs recently, the August Kaiser Health Tracking poll finds that most Americans feel that drug costs are unreasonable and that drug companies put profits before people. At the same time, the public largely values the role prescription drug companies play, with most saying that prescription drugs developed in the past two decades have made the lives of people in the U.S. better, including about 4 in 10 who say a lot better. When it comes to their views of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) this month, the American public remains divided in their opinion of the law. Those who favor repeal are divided on whether the law should be replaced with a Republican-sponsored alternative or if it should be repealed and not replacedPoll Finding Read More

Kaiser Health Policy News Index: April 2015
The health policy stories included in this month's Kaiser Health Policy News Index were followed closely by about 4 in 10 Americans. Of the stories asked about this month, the one that garnered the most attention was coverage of the white police officer charged with the murder of an unarmed black man in South Carolina. Over half report closely following other stories, including the Germanwings plane crash in the French Alps, a new religious freedom law in Indiana that allows business owners to refuse service to gay customers, negotiations over Iran's Nuclear Program, and a terrorist attack by Islamic militants at a university in Kenya. The only non-health story to receive less attention than the health stories this month was coverage of the Congressional Republican budget proposals, followed closely by just over a third of the public.Poll Finding Read More

Kaiser Health Policy News Index: August-September 2014
The latest Kaiser Health Policy News Index finds that attention to health policy stories in August took a back seat to breaking national news such as the unrest in Ferguson, Missouri, international events in the West Bank, Syria and Ukraine and a global health story, the Ebola outbreak in West Africa.

Kaiser Health Tracking Poll: June 2015
Given recent news about some high-cost prescription drugs and the debate about who should pay for them, this month's Kaiser Health Tracking Poll has a special focus on the issue. Nearly three-quarters of the public think that the cost of prescription drugs is unreasonable. Americans place much of the blame with the drug companies saying they set prices too high and that company profits are a major factor in drug pricing. The poll also finds that most of the public still hasn't heard much about the Supreme Court case on whether people in states with federal marketplaces are eligible for financial assistance to purchase health insurance. Most feel that Congress and states should act if the Court rules for the plaintiffs, but there is no agreement among partisans.Poll Finding Read More

Kaiser Health Tracking Poll: Late June 2015 – A Special Focus On The Supreme Court Decision
The latest Kaiser Health Tracking Poll finds that when told that the U.S. Supreme Court ruled to keep the Affordable Care Act (ACA) as it is, allowing subsidies to be provided to low- and moderate-income people in all states regardless of who runs their Marketplace, about 6 in 10 say they approve of the decision while about a third disapprove. The King v. Burwell ruling does not appear to have had an immediate effect on the public's overall views of the health law. Still, most Americans do not think the ACA has cleared its last big hurdle with the June 25 Supreme Court ruling; just 18 percent think the King v. Burwell case was the last major battle over the ACA, while nearly 8 in 10 think there will be more to come.Poll Finding Read More

Then do the math.... companies dont trade on past performance... they trade on expectation of future cash flow and production.. Im plugging in much different number, and Im only looking as far as quarter one.. Im pretty happy on that.... The BOE metric is tough as it contains estimates... need to know APIs, RLi and Netbacks to start. Every BOE is not created equal.. Really like the 70 dollar netback we have here... RLI maybe too early to say, but perhaps can be generalized from producers in the area??? Ill stick with more than 45 or 60 k a flowing barrel, thats good enough for me..

Thanks John, I looked at portfolio box, they have some great boxes, I bookmarked them for future purchases. I didnt see that many examples of portfolios on it though, and their folded sides style that they did have, looked a bit to cumbersome for general flip out use and handling.
I will take your suggestion and take another look at some more Prat 8x10 models. I have a nice large model that fits 11x14s easily, and it is well made out of leather with a zipper and good carrying handle.
