The Bubble-Head Charm (incantation unknown) is the most effective spell for breathing underwater or in any environment where fresh air is at a premium, allowing one a supply of oxygen. It causes a protective bubble to form about the caster's head, like a helmet. This bubble may allow the caster to breathe underwater or protect the head from falling objects.
Known uses
- It was used by Cedric Diggory and Fleur Delacour during the Second Task of the Triwizard Tournament to enable them to breathe underwater.
- Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry students also used this spell in 1996 after the departure of Fred and George Weasley, when it became fashion to throw Dungbombs and Stink Pellets in the corridors of Hogwarts.
Behind the scenes
- A similar spell called Ebublio is seen in the Harry Potter video games.
- In the films, the charm creates a bubble around the mouth and nose, similar to an oxygen mask, not the entire head.

Video: Rams Edward Jones Dome plans made public
Video: Rams Edward Jones Dome plans to be made public
St. Louis (KSDK) -- The public got its first glimpse of the St. Louis' Rams wish list for upgrades to the Edward Jones Dome Monday morning.
Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster made the plans public, despite the team wanting to keep them private. Koster let the team and the dome's landlord, the St. Louis Convention and Visitors Commission, know that he was planning to do this on May 14, unless a judge said otherwise.
The proposed changes to the dome include a 'natural light' setting, with an operable roof panel and a glazed building envelope.
The Rams also want the dome's new design to allow at least 6,000 additional seats (72,000 total) in order to accomodate an NFL Super Bowl event in the future.
The proposed design would make the dome First Tier for viewing NFL games, but will still be able to accomodate conventions, trade shows, concerts, NCAA basketball, and soccer events.
The CVC estimates the total cost of the changes will be greater than $700 million.
The Rams wanted to keep the details private stating it had a confidentiality agreement in place with the CVC.
Many St. Louis-area news organizations, including KSDK, felt the dome plans should be made public because public funds were used to build the dome and will likely be used to pay for the upgrades.
The CVC's $124-million proposed plan released in February, calls for new paneling to let in natural light, a new jump screen, among other things.
The Rams rejected the proposal and submitted their own.
If the two sides can't come to terms, the process goes to arbitration in June.
The Rams can break their lease after the 2014 season if the dome is not deemed to be among the top tier of NFL stadiums.
Rams Executive Vice President Kevin Demoff released the following statement in regards to the released proposal:
"The Rams lease with the CVC requires that on March 1, 2015 the Edward Jones Dome and specified components of the stadium rank among the First Tier of NFL stadiums. First Tier is defined as among the Top 8 NFL stadiums. In accordance with the lease, the Rams submitted on April 30th the Rams 2012 Plans to bring the Edward Jones Dome up to the First Tier standard. The First Tier process and procedure is confidential under the parties' agreements. The Rams will continue to respect those confidentiality obligations and will not comment on the Rams' plans or the process we are following."

My morning smoothie usually has coconut water kefir or coconut water. When I travel, I bring my powders, chia seeds, and blender ball bottle to make my smoothies on the go. This becomes one of my critical ingredients to give it that nice coconut water taste. What I do is: 1. make up a zip lock baggie for each day I am away, and premix everything for one smoothie, then 2. dump it in my blender ball bottle and add water and 3. shake and enjoy! Without this, they are really too watery and not as tasty.

My must have product
Posted by bambiraptor on Jun 21, 2013
As I mentioned in my other review I love everything which has coconut in it's nam e or ingredient list :). I love coconut water - we have coconut water for purchase here in Poland but it's very expensive. I was looking for a substitute to it as I love it's taste. I wanted to try this powdered water. It came very quick to me (Im an international buyer from Poland) and I loved it! It's my absolutely must have item in kitchen. I wish there would be larger package of it (for example 500g or 1kg pack). It's very handy and I use it after my workouts. I will buy it again for sure.

Good product!
Posted by sweetheart on May 17, 2013
I like the fact that I can buy coconut water that is easy to store and carry with me. Coconut water is the greatest drink for gym (because of the electrolytes) and this one is easy to carry and use: just add water!
not a huge fan
Posted by 5201733723750424781 on May 07, 2013
I find this product has a very weak coconut taste to it compared to normal coconut water. I add it instead to smoothies etc instead of drinking it straight.
Almost like the real thing
Posted by Reviewer1458541 on Apr 30, 2013
Just mix some cold water and coconut water powder and get the most refreshing drink available... The best way to start the morning(:
would be 3 star by adding Stevita liq. Strawb.Stevia...Coconut Powder worth buy, try, keep around, bec convenient, raw, org.
Posted by Reviewer3345960 on Feb 20, 2013
Navitas Naturals (NN) Coconut Water Powder (CWP) - 1 tablespoon is considered a serving, and there are 20 servings, so each serving comes out to about $.60 (60 cents) if you purchase it here at Iherb...IMO, each 1 tbsp serving tastes good in 6 ounces of water...In comparison, the only raw and organic coconut water (not powder) I could find, and I absolutely love, is Harmless Harvest's 100% Raw Coconut Water which comes in 8 and 16 ounce bottles, and comes out to about $2.25-$3 for 6 ounces...So, the NNCWP is 60 cents per 6 ounces compared with $2.25-$3 per 6 ounces of the liquid one by Harless Harvest...NNCWP is less expensive, has a longer expiration date, takes up less room, but does not taste as good as any of the different non-raw, organic and non-organic bottled coconut waters I have tasted. I prefer the raw organic one by Harmless Harvest, which I would give 5 stars to, as opposed to Navitas Naturals Coconut Water Powder, which I gave 2 stars to...I liked how it tasted much better after having added Stevita's strawbery liquid stevia to it, which would bring the 2 stars up to 3 stars, but I do not feel it is fair to rate the strawberry stevia with it...Still, the powder is so conventient, esp for being raw and organic, and I think it is definitely worth buying, trying and keeping around, preferably as long as you add a sweetened flavor, even though all the bottled coconut waters I ever tried, all tasted better...Btw, I use a lot of raw organic powders including Garden of Life and also Navitas Naturals, and I love the way they all taste, and I am just saying this so that any readers do not think that my perhaps less than average rating of the raw coconut water powder is due to not being used to eating raw foods...The NNCWP has a slight "vomit" like aftertaste which I find hard to avoid if I put it into cold water, esp since the powder does not mix that well in water in general, and esp in colder water, at least not enough to taste like real coconut water, but I like the refreshing taste of the colder water...The only time I ever taste that "vomity" type taste in all my other raw powders is when I blended a smoothie and tried drinking it from the frig 2 days later...One more thing worth mentioning is that if this product had been made by a company I never heard of, and/or I did not think it was raw and/or organic, I would have rated it with 1 star, or perhaps none if it were possible. I just tend to trust that Navitas Naturals is making this product as good as it can be made...I secretly wonder, however, if it is truly as nutritious as I am convincing myself it is due to the brand, rawness, and organic feature, and I wish they would list all the amino acids, minerals, vitamins, and other nutrients in this product.

Coconut Water Powder
Posted by 5314022820122351077 on Feb 19, 2013
It has a nice taste that is very similar to regular coconut water, though not exactly the same. I find that the taste isn't as strong (but you can probably fix that by using a bit of extra powder) and you don't get the slightly bitter aftertaste that you can sometimes get with regular coconut water. For flavored coconut water just add a bit of juice concentrate to the already diluted powder.

Watch Frustrated Reporter Try To Find Massive Rally Of Racist Tea Party Truckers! (Video)
By John Prager
Americans Against The Tea Party
October 12, 2013
It was to be a day of glory! Between 3,500 and 6,000 truckers were purported to be headed to the DC beltway to something, gas prices, something something Muslim something Kenyan Socialist something get the dark-skinned guy out of office.
The movement, which has been heavily promoted by birther Islamophobe Zeeda Andrewswho believes that Osama Bin Laden is alive (and is our President), and that the world is secretly ruled by a race of shape shifting lizard people who are pumping aluminum into the earths atmosphere to block out the suns rays, originally claimed that they were going to shut down the DC Beltway, arrest members of Congress, and spoke heavily in support of Libtard-hating Mark Kessler, seems to have hit a bit of a snag.
Bruce Leshan of WUSA9 spent all day first trying to locate, then riding with the MASSIVEamount of extremist right wing fringe idiots on wheels. While the movement does havesome legitimate trucking-related issues, it has devolved into an extremist rabble with whom it is difficult for anyone but the most vile humans in existence to sympathizeand it showed!
Video: http://bcove.me/2vsn6ys0
Bruces frustration is palpable.
They call it the Truckers Ride for the Constitution but these guys dont seem to have the fortitude of our founding fathers .We have been circling the beltway all afternoon and no sign of these truckers. We did see some protesters up on some overpasses, but none of the truckers.
While a spokesperson claimed there were 250 trucks out, this unfortunate reporter had trouble even finding a fewso much so, that he spent the day circling the beltway searching for our TEA-rucker friends!
They did, however, catch up with the gargantuan caravan of trucks that would be the driving force that would make a statement to the nation that wait, what? You mean he found about six?
You can see now the truckers driving three lanes abreast and doing everything they can to slow down traffic to make life even more miserable for people trying to drive the beltway in this rain .I saw about a half dozen of them when I was out on the road.What we basically had was a tiny number of nutjobs being jerks to everyone else because they cant get their way. Sound familiar?
He jokes about being able to move freely on the road, and taunts the movements claim that they would block the beltway and speculates that there was such a small turnout because their far right extremist attitude has turned off most of America, even those who would otherwise be associated with the movement.
They are concerned about some trucking issues in terms of regulation, fuel prices, things like that but they kind of veer into this far right screed against President Obama. They actually at one point were promising to drive up Constitution Avenue and try and throw some members of Congress into handcuffs.
I agree.

Backgroundinformation - Press Releases

Comprising over 30 million collection items, an exhibition area of over 7,000 square metres and a Research Department, the Museum für Naturkunde is the largest German natural history museum. On a global scale, it is among the top five natural history museums. It was founded in 1810.
The Museum in Figures – an Overview
Collections, exhibitions, area, staff.
The Museum für Naturkunde forms the representative centrepiece of an ensemble built by architect August Tiede on the grounds of the former Royal Iron Foundry.
Brachiosaurus brancai
The skeleton of Brachiosaurus brancai from Tendaguru in Tanzania is 13.27 metres tall and the largest mounted dinosaur skeleton in the world.
Primeval Bird Archaeopteryx
After the refurbishment of the exhibitions in 2007, the original Berlin specimen of primeval bird Archaeopteryx lithographica went on public display for the first time ever. It is supposed to be the best-known fossil in the world.
Polar bear "Knut"
Knut was a polar bear, born in captivity at the Berlin Zoological Garden. Knut returned to Berlin's Museum of Natural History on 28 July 2014 as an exhibit for a special exhibition on "Highlights of Taxidermy".
"Bobby" the Gorilla
The taxidermy of Bobby the gorilla was created by Karl Kaestner and Gerhard Schröder in 1936 and is a masterpiece of its kind! It is on display in the Preparation Exhibition of the Museum.
Keller's Model of a Housefly
The model of a housefly, 50 times magnified, was built by preparator Alfred Keller in 1932. In its amazing precision and attention to detail, it remains unsurpassed, in spite of the new materials and techniques available today.
The Discovery of Uranium
In 1817, the Museum für Naturkunde bought the original collection of chemist Martin Heinrich Klaproth, (1734-1817), containing the pieces in which he had discovered several elements, including uranium.

We've got a problem.
I'm not talking about our political woes, up to and including the politically-led bankruptcy of everything good and decent about this place we call our country, although that's certainly a problem.
No, the problem I'm talking about may well be the underlying source, the wellspring from which that particular malignancy has sprung.
The problem we're facing now is that we have too damn many stupid people.
And no, I don't mean uneducated people. I know some pretty darn smart uneducated people, and god knows some folks with all the degrees money can buy are just plain damn stupid. And that's what I mean.
But it goes beyond just having too many stupid people. It's almost like we want people to be stupid. And we certainly don't want them to go the way of natural selection. No, we coddle them.
You heard me. We coddle stupid people. We make their lives comfortable and safe so they won't hurt themselves or other people too badly. Look at all the ridiculous warning labels we put on things so the stupid people won't do something stupid. Except they will, or maybe even come up with something even more stupid than what's on the label.
How about a fishing hook with a label that says "Harmful if swallowed?" No, duh. Really? Washing machines carry labels warning not to put people in them. An iPod Shuffle warns not to eat it. A blender label warns not to try to stop the blades with your hands. A hair dryer warns that it shouldn't be used in the shower. An electric router (for carpenters not computers) says that it shouldn't be used as a dentist's drill. A night time sleep aid that warns it may cause drowsiness. A stroller suggests removing the child before folding for storage. A clothes iron warns not to iron clothes while you're wearing them. The label on a Batman costume says the cape won't enable flight (because everybody knows Batman didn't fly).
I know. You're all out there saying, but Nunzia, those labels are really there to protect the manufacturers of the products from ridiculous lawsuits.
Yeah, from stupid people! Back where I come from, there's a common joke. Ready? OK, here goes:
What's a redneck's last words?
Hey, y'all, watch this!
Stupid people, I tell you.
And what happens when you coddle stupid people and protect them from the natural laws of evolution? Well, they do more stupid things. And more stupid things. And then more, and pretty soon, their stupidity starts to affect the rest of us.
Take Arizona, for example. The home state of John "I'm only a maverick when I"m bucking my own party, otherwise I'm a partisan hack" McCain has now made apartheid official policy.
OK, that's an exaggeration. But you better not forget your wallet when you leave the house, because police don't have to have a reason to ask you for your papers now. Well, they do, kinda. It's supposed to be some reasonable reason to suspect that you might not be in the country legally, but that's not defined. The governor promises training, but I suspect when it comes down to it, the only reasonable reason to suspect that you might actually be in the country legally will be if you're blonde and blue-eyed. Like the governor. I doubt Arizona has too many problems with northern European illegals.
On the other hand, I'd be really keen to find out who a Navajo or Hopi officer would reasonably suspect might be in Arizona illegally. Hope the governor is carrying her papers at all times.
Now, before my conservative friends start clenching their asses so tight they can't breathe, let me say that our immigration non-system is fucked up, seriously. But you don't fix it by putting a bunch of local deputy sheriffs on the streets and tell them to make sure everybody's legal. You also don't fix it by deporting 12 million people, as many conservatives would like to do. Know why? Because it would cost more than it costs to bail out the conservatives' buddies in the banking industry, which, incidentally, they're all trying to pretend they oppose now. What we need is a little common sense and not the fear and anger ginned up by politicians aiming to take full advantage of their unthinking constituents.
Of course, that's kinda the prescription for anything that ails us right now. Quit playing the stupid for fools and get real.
Back to Arizona, though, which doubled down on the stupid. The governor hasn't signed it at this writing, but the legislature passed a bill requiring that presidential candidates prove they're U.S.-born before they can be put on the ballot in the state. They say it had nothing to do with our Kenyan-born president, although it was sponsored by people who believe the president was born in Kenya even though he's already proven he wasn't. No word on who in Arizona will be the final arbiter of the veracity of Obama's Hawaii birth certificate, which has already been proven to be real and legitimate.
The stupid gets worse too. How about a Republican contender for Harry Reid's seat in Nevada who thinks people should barter things like livestock and house-painting for health care? Sue Lowden was actually quite clearly talking about bargaining on the price of health care when she used the word "barter." But when she was given an opportunity to correct herself, she doubled down and said she meant to say barter, that there was nothing wrong with that because "in olden times" it was perfectly acceptable to bring chickens to the doctor's office.
I was willing to give Lowden the benefit of the doubt in the beginning — who hasn't used the wrong word before? But that got harder when she insisted she meant what she said. And the real proof of stupidity was actually using the phrase "in olden times." Seriously, Sue, you're not old enough to say that and not appear stupid. Get with the times.
On the other hand, Lowden was once Miss New Jersey and second runner-up in the Miss America contest. That's not to say that beauty contestants are all stupid. And remember, some very smart people are also quite stupid.
Speaking of women, conservatives have a problem there with the stupid too. Erick "I cleaned up my act (sorta) so I could get a gig with CNN" Erickson of Red State had no problem tweeting about "ugly feminists" who should "get back in the kitchen" back in February, after he had supposedly quite tweeting stupid things like calling a Supreme Court justice a "goat fucking child molester" and urging that conservatives go beat their congresscritters "to a bloody pulp" (a sentiment that resurfaced in one of Erick's blog posts just a coupla weeks ago). The Medina County, Ohio, GOP also sees women as slaves cooks too. It sent out a flyer to voters urging that they put Rep. Betty Sutton "back in the kitchen" and elect a Republican instead. They apologized, of course — they always do — but they're only apologizing that they were stupid enough to say what they think out loud, not that they're misogynist assholes.
And there's just not any need to go into the stupid displayed on race and gays. Seriously.
The worse stupid of all, though, is all the lies. Mitch McConnell is still pretending that the financial reform bill will codify "too big to fail," which is stupid when you look at reality and realize TBTF is codified NOW. But my colleagues are busy coddling the multi-chinned one. Instead of saying, Mitch, baby, that's a lie, we're just doing what we usually do. We put on a Democrat to say no, that's not right. We report, you decide.
Fuck that, man. You can't decide if all we're doing is playing stenographer to spin doctors. The financial reform bill, which is pretty darn weak, just like the health care reform bill, but is nevertheless much better than leaving things as they are, which apparently is The Republican Way. Now, the bill's not gonna end TBTF, but it's not gonna set up an endless litany of bailouts either, as McConnell insists after his brazen meeting with the Wall Street fat cats to get his talking points in order.
What, does he think we're all stupid?
Well, that's kinda the point. The liars and obfuscators in Congress count on our stupidity. And that's not just The Republican Way, it's The American Way.
The good news is that we can recover from stupidity. It doesn't have to be fatal. But it takes, first, an admission that we are stupid, and that the entire country has become unmanageable because of it. And then we have to reject the coddling, and stop coddling each other.
After that, we begin the long hard climb out of the hole our stupidity as dug for us.
I know, it sounds terrifying. Thinking for ourselves, actually reading things and understanding them rather than depending on the familiar lying faces on what was once affectionately called the "boob tube" (and not because it featured women's breasts).
But we can do it, I know we can. Just take the first step.

First off...Welcome Aboard!
...and as an added bonus for uploading a map in your very first post I dub thee newly repped *bonk*
Your map is nice - the Tolkien influence is obvious. The only thing that doesn't work for me is the colored scale. Everything else is in "B&W", I'd see if you can find different scale marker in the CC icons (or create your own).
EDIT: Ooops! Said I was going to rep' you and forgot to do it.

Concealment Charm
this wiki
- "Look, Secrecy Sensors detect jinxes, curses, and concealment charms, don't they? They're used to find dark magic and dark objects. They'd have picked up a powerful curse, like the one in the necklace, within seconds."
- —Hermione Granger.[src]
Concealment Charms (incantation unknown) are spells used to conceal things from view and to obfuscate inherent magical properties of objects.
Sometime in the early 20th century, Minister for Magic Ottaline Gambol allowed a secret operation to obtain a train to be used as a means of transport of Hogwarts School students to the Castle and back, on the beginning and end of term, respectively. This operation ended up involving one hundred and sixty-seven Memory Charms and the largest ever mass Concealment Charm performed in Britain, while several bemused Muggle railway workers in Crewe spent the rest of the year grappling with the uncomfortable feeling that they had mislaid something important.[1]
In 1996, when Harry Potter speculated that Draco Malfoy had sneaked a cursed opal necklace by Filch's Secrecy Sensor, Hermione Granger said that Secrecy Sensors picked up concealment charms easily.[2]

I hope you got your Evil Ash mask ordered, because Evil Dead costumes are totally coming back. Why's that? Well, as if summoned by yesterday's blog post, the trailer for the Evil Dead remake has surfaced on the Internet.
And from the looks of it, this movie is going to be horrifying – and not in the jump-tactics kind of horrifying. No, this film looks to combine aesthetics with a tried-and-true story, revitalizing a classic for the modern era.
But enough chit-chat, watch the trailer, before it gets pulled for being leaked material.

Hal Davis is an educator and principal from Northeast Regional School of Biotechnology and Agriscience. The school is located at the Vernon G. James Research and Extension Center in Plymouth in Washington County.
Mr. Davis has been an educator in Eastern Carolina for more than 30 years. He was an agricultural education teacher at Bear Grass School in Martin County for more than a decade before becoming principal of the school. He then became a secondary education director for Martin County Schools.
He now heads up the NRSBA. This school serves five counties: Beaufort, Martin, Pitt, Tyrrell and Washington. It was created under a partnership of the NC State University College of Agriculture, the NC State Board of Education and other state agencies. NRBSA is an "early college high school for students with a focus in science, technology, engineering and mathematics to help prepare students for good jobs in the future. Students can earn up to 2 years of college credit along with their high school diploma. This is a public school with no tuition costs." More than 100 students attend.
Mr. Davis received a Bachelor of Science and a Masters of Education from NC State, as well as an advanced certification in agricultural and vocational education. He also received his principal and supervision administrative certification from ECU.
The person who nominated Mr. Davis said of the educators at NRSBA "all of these ladies and gentlemen work very hard and have made a real difference in our child. He has blossomed into a greater student because of these folks… They really all work together to help the kids excel, but if I must pick just one, Mr. Davis would be the one."

Physical Exam for High Blood Pressure
Exam Overview
A physical exam for high blood pressure also includes a medical history. The extent of the physical exam and the level of detail in your doctor's questions depend on how high your blood pressure is and whether you have other risk factors for heart disease. People who have many risk factors may have a more detailed evaluation.
The physical exam and medical history includes:
- Your medical history, to evaluate risk factors such as smoking or family history of high blood pressure.
- Two or more blood pressure measurements. Measurements may be taken from both the left and right arms and legs and may be taken in more than one position, such as lying down, standing, or sitting. Multiple measurements may be taken and averaged.
- Measurement of your weight, height, and waist.
- An exam of the retina, the light-sensitive lining at the back of the eye.
- A heart exam.
- An exam of your legs for fluid buildup (edema), and the pulse in several areas, including the neck.
- An exam of your abdomen using a stethoscope. A doctor will listen to the blood vessels in the abdomen for abnormal sounds. These sounds may be caused by blood flow through a narrowed artery in the abdomen (abdominal bruits).
- An exam of your neck for an enlarged thyroid, distended neck veins, and bruits in the carotid arteries.
Why It Is Done
The physical exam and medical history are done to:
- Confirm that you have high blood pressure.
- Check for effects of high blood pressure on organs such as the kidneys and heart.
- Determine whether you have risk factors for heart disease or stroke.
- Rule out other causes of high blood pressure (secondary high blood pressure), such as medicines or other medical conditions.
Blood pressure measurements are classified as follows.1
Normal (optimal)
- Systolic 119 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) or below
- Diastolic 79 mm Hg or below
- Systolic 120–139 mm Hg
- Diastolic 80–89 mm Hg
High blood pressure (hypertension)
- Systolic 140 mm Hg or above
- Diastolic 90 mm Hg or above
High blood pressure is also classified into stages.
Stage 1 high blood
- Systolic 140–159 mm Hg
- Diastolic 90–99 mm Hg
Stage 2 high blood
- Systolic 160 mm Hg or higher
- Diastolic 100 mm Hg or higher
Other results
Your doctor might check for signs that high blood pressure has already caused damage to your blood vessels, heart, or eyes. Your doctor might check for:
- Extra heart sounds caused by enlargement of the heart.
- Swollen (distended) neck veins, which may point to possible heart failure.
- Abnormal sounds when the doctor listens to the blood vessels in the abdomen using a stethoscope. These sounds may be caused by blood flow through a narrowed artery in the abdomen (abdominal bruits) or a narrowed artery leading to the kidney (renal artery stenosis) or by abnormal movement of blood through the aorta, the main artery that carries blood from the heart to the rest of the body.
- Abnormal sound of blood flow (bruit) or diminished or absent blood flow (pulses) in the blood vessels of the arms and legs.
- Abnormal buildup of fluid in the abdomen or legs (edema).
- Abnormalities of the blood vessels in the back of the eye.
What To Think About
A diagnosis of high blood pressure usually is based on an average of two or more readings taken during two or more visits after an initial screening.
- Except in very severe cases, the diagnosis is not based on a single reading.
- Two or more blood pressure measurements, taken at follow-up doctor visits, may be needed to confirm an initial high blood pressure reading.
- Single blood pressure readings taken a week apart may vary due to normal changes in blood pressure and to differences in how it is measured.

WASHINGTON – The father of the boy who was electrocuted at a Herndon elementary school Tuesday night says he was told his son was trying to help a friend when he came into contact with an electrical wire.
Derick Rill says his 14-year-old son, Bennett James Rill, was killed Tuesday on the roof of Fox Mill Elementary School in the 2600 block of Viking Drive.
Rill says his son had finished his last day of middle school Tuesday.
Fairfax County police spokesman Officer Don Gotthardt tells WTOP that four boys — one 15-year-old and three 14-year-olds — were on the grounds of Fox Mill Elementary School shortly before 9 p.m. when at least one of the boys came into contact with an electrical wire and was shocked to death.
The boys reportedly came into contact with the wires when they climbed a roof at the school.
Rill, of Oak Hill, Va., says police told him the boys were climbing a fence and used the wire as leverage to get onto the roof. He says Bennett went to help a teen who had fallen when he got tangled in the wire.
Rill was pronounced dead at the scene and the three others were transported to Fairfax Inova Hospital with injuries that were not life- threatening.
Gotthardt tells WTOP that homicide detectives were on the scene working to determine the exact chronology of events.
"Concern at this point is the well-being of the parents and the well-being of the other three children that were transported," says Gotthardt.
While detectives were interviewing the boys to determine why they were on the grounds, Gotthardt says there was no indication they were trying to break into the school.
"There's no evidence that anybody attempted to enter the school — just a tragic accident," Gotthardt says.
The Associated Press contributed to this report. Follow @WTOP on Twitter.

- "Mike was supposed to torch some place in the mall, but he screwed the fuses and now the cops are crawling all over it."
- ―Lance Vance, explaining the situation.
Cop Land is a mission in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City which the protagonist Tommy Vercetti does independently in the Vercetti Estate in Starfish Island, Vice City.
Mike screwed up the wiring to blow up Tarbrush Cafe and the police are now all over the place. Lance yells at him for this and sees no way of fixing this problem. Lance wants to bail out but Tommy doesn't like this idea. He thinks about pretending to be a cop to get past the heavy police presence to detonate the bomb themselves. Over at Vice Point, Tommy and Lance lure two cops into a garage and beat them up to grab their uniforms. They suit up and head to the Tarbrush Cafe in North Point Mall. Tommy detonates the bomb and the cafe blows up. This explosion causes Tommy to be wanted by the FBI but Tommy manages to evade them and heads back to his mansion with Lance.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Get a wanted level so the cops will follow you into the lock-up
- Get two cops to follow you into the garage
- Take a cop car and go and plant the bomb at the Tarbush Coffee Shop in the Mall
- Get back to Vercetti Estate on Starfish Island
The reward for completing this mission is $10,000. The protection missions are now completed and the Vercetti Estate generates up to $5,000 a day. The Cop Outfit is always available from the Washington Beach police headquarters from this point onwards.
- Lance carrying a Stubby Shotgun is a reference to Miami Vice. Lance's voice actor, Philip Michael Thomas, occasionally carries the same model shotgun.
- No matter what clothes the player is wearing, when the mission is triggered, Tommy will be wearing the Street Outfit.
- Despite Tommy saying that the player needs a squad car to reach the North Point Mall, the player can take a civilian car.
- If Lance is still inside the coffee store when it explodes, he will safely respawn next to Tommy when gameplay resumes.
- This mission is named after the movie of the same name which starred Ray Liotta, the voice of Tommy Vercetti.
- After getting the cop outfit, the player cannot gain a wanted level until the cafe is blown up.
- After the cafe is blown up, the cops that are guarding the mall will still be on your side, killing the cops that want to get you.
- Lance can be killed pretty easily in this mission, so if cops come you must defend him from them.
- A recommended way to complete the mission is to get a durable and fast civilian vehicle, preferably a Rancher, and blow up the cafe. After escaping from the mall, drive to the nearby Pay 'n' Spray to eliminate the wanted level and then drive back to the mansion to complete the mission.

You realize how long Green Day has been around (and how many hits they've scored) when you ogle their audience Monday night at the Verizon-Wireless-Amphitheatre-at-Encore-Park in Alpharetta.and see hundreds of Moms and Dads in their 30s, 40s and 50s bringing their children — and even grandchildren — to see the venerable punk rock band.
Is Green Day punk? How can a punk band sell 15 million copies of its major label debut? What punk band writes an opera that gets produced on Broadway?
And if Green Day is punk, what were all these little kids doing out on a school night, shoving their
Tre stuck in elevator for an hour at 4 seasons in chicago!!!
More messages from Billie Joe at the Official Green Day Twitter: HERE.
Green Day, of course, pummeled, powered, and pulled out all the stops during their two-plus hour set, reaching deep into their expansive back catalog and using every crowd-pleasing trick in the rock-band hat. And then they invented a few more stunts just for the sake of it. Seriously, if it weren't for the city of Chicago's noise ordinances, they'd probably still be at it.
Bottle-blonde Billie Joe Armstrong bounded back and forth across the stage, led the crowd in countless sing-a-longs, pranced, danced, collapsed, rose again, and at one point, played a solo with his guitar behind his
Green Day have come an awful long way since their humble beginnings as a regular act in small clubs in the late '80s. Through a gradual increase in the band's popularity and progressive improvements in their live chops, they have evolved into a slick, well-oiled rock and roll machine. They brought their big-time, stadium-sized sensibilities to the final slot of Lollapalooza's Saturday night (August 7) and delivered an incredible set of tracks that have evolved into classics.
Frontman Billie Joe Armstrong is especially impressive, as he careens from one end of the stage to the other

What is Compiz?
According to Compiz.org, Compiz is: "... an OpenGL compositing manager that use GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap for binding redirected top-level windows to texture objects. It has a flexible plug-in system and it is designed to run well on most graphics hardware. Okay, this description isn't really meaningful. In a nutshell, Compiz is a compositing manager, which means that it enhances the overall user interaction by adding fancy effects to your windows, from drop shadows to awesome desktop effects like the Desktop Cube or the Expo view. Compiz can also be a window manager, which means that it is the software between you and your desktop apps. It enables you to move or resize windows, to switch workspaces, to switch windows easily (using alt-tab or so), and so on."
Installing Compiz
To install Compiz, you must first emerge it:
# emerge -av compiz compiz-fusion emerald hicolor-icon-theme
As a standalone window manager
For Compiz to run as a standalone window manager, you must first change your ~.xinitrc file:
The lines after the first two can be any applications that you would like to launch when the X.org server starts.
Now, with compiz installed and ready to run, try starting it:
$ xinit
Configuring Compiz
If it starts successfully, you will be greeted with a black screen and whatever programs you added to your ~/.xinitrc after line two. At this point, you are probably wondering "Why are there no decorations around my windows?" There are no decorations because Compiz comes configured to not decorate windows. In your terminal that was launched from the ~/.xinitrc file, type in:
$ ccsm
This command will launch a Compiz configuration application that will allow you to add decorations to your windows (and many other neat things). Once the configuration app. launches go to "Effects" and check the box next to "Window Decoration." Many interesting and useful features can be enabled and disabled from ccsm.
For those of you looking for an alt+tab switcher, go to "Window Managment" and check either "Application Switcher" or "Static Application Switcher". If you are interested in a feature similar to the Windows 7 Super+Tab switcher, look into the "Shift Switcher" in "Window Managment" You can then go to Window Managment -> Shift Switcher -> Appearance and change the switcher mode and change it from "Cover" to "Flip."
Don't like the default window decorations? You can modify the window decorations to your liking by typing:
$ emerald-theme-manager
Emerald offers several different engines for theming:
- zootreeves: Evolved from the legacy engine
- truglass: Glassy effects for your windows
- vrunner: Multiple gradients with somewhat glassy features too
- legacy: Based on original gnome-window-decorator
- line: Based on original legacy
- pixmap: Everything done with customizable pixmaps!
- oxygen: Designed to be vista-ish in nature
Helpful Tricks / Tips
To Enable Aero - like transparency:
Open ccsm with a terminal, as you did earlier. Scroll down to 'effects'. Click on 'Blur Windows'. Here is the config I am using. Alter it to your liking.
