The Hoyz Collection
Inspired by beautifully ornate, antique Jewish wedding rings, this unique collection of rings feature wonderful miniature palaces, castles and temples. These architectural symbols traditionally represented the temple in Jerusalem as well as the marital home of the new couple. The detailed house or 'hoyz' in yiddish was a symbol of love, harmony and holiness.
The house rings were popular throughout European Jewish communities between the 14-17th centuries and typically used during the wedding ceremony. Due to the extravagant craftsmanship each ring was an exceptional work of art and so few families could afford their own. It is thought that in many cases one ring would be owned and shared by an entire community.
The persecution the Jews faced during this time meant that most of their valuable items were buried when they fled their towns for safety and few authentic examples of these beautiful treasures survived. The house ring tradition eventually fell out of fashion and by the 20th century it had become almost unheard of in Jewish communities, many Jews remain unaware of this custom having ever even existed.
The Hoyz collection aims to revive the house ring as a universal symbol of love, repurposed for every occasion. Whether as a treasure for yourself, a gift for a special person or a stunning alternative engagement ring (available in 18 karat gold) these beautiful rings are too special to be forgotten.
Just as the original antique house rings were created by master craftsmen, the Hoyz range has been meticulously modelled by highly skilled hands and uses the best of British Jewellery manufacturing to produce in quality materials to a high finish.
These are the dimensions of the bezel (sanctury), band dimensions are dependent on your ring size.
Height: 16mm
Width: 11mm
Depth: 10mm
If you are unsure of your ring size, please use this table as a guide. Ring measurements table.
- Measure your finger at the end of the day when your finger is likely to be at its largest.
- Do not measure your finger when it is hot or cold.
- Bear in mind that the two hands differ slightly in size; a ring worn on a finger of the left hand will not be a perfect fit for the same finger on the right hand.Therefore, measure the specific finger on which you are planning to wear the ring.
- Make sure that the chosen size leaves enough room for the ring to pass easily along the entire length of the finger.
- To measure your finger, you can use a tape measure, a strip of paper or a piece of string. Measure the circumference of your finger in mm. This measurement corresponds to the size of the ring.
- Remove your jewellery when exercising, cleaning, gardening, or any other physical work.
- Try to keep your jewellery away from harsh cosmetics such as perfumes, soaps and lotions. These will cause for gold plating to erode and silver to tarnish at a much faster rate. Take rings off when washing your hands and showering, and applying perfume and lotions before you put on your jewellery.
- Jewellery should be taken off before entering a pool, shower or sea.
Each piece is individually finished and so there may be some subtle visual variations between your piece, and the one shown. Because your piece will be made especially for you, we currently cannot accept returns.

Toronto FC down Impact in 1st semifinal leg of Canadian championship
Doneil Henry, Andrew Wiedeman tally for Reds
Toronto FC coach Ryan Nelsen was like a proud father in the aftermath of his team's 2-0 win over the Montreal Impact in the first leg of their Amway Canadian Championship semifinal Wednesday night.
The former New Zealand international is looking to remake a franchise that has traditionally been the MLS doormat. Nelsen, who inherited a side that went 5-21-8 last year, has a long way to go but was clearly chuffed by the performance of what was essentially a young B team.
"I know now that I've got 22 players that can put on the Toronto shirt at any level," he said.
Take out 33-year-old Danny Califf, 27-year-old Stefan Frei and 26-year-old Justin Braun and the rest of Nelsen's starting 11 was aged 20, 20, 21, 21, 22, 22, 23 and 24.
"To play with the maturity that they did was really impressive," Nelsen said of his youth. "The scary thing, the good thing is that this squad will get better. We will bring in players who are going to get better and better and better. And we will improve it.
"This is just the foundation, the basics that we have to adhere to. We're always looking to improve every facet of every part of our organization"
Argentine midifelder Matias Laba is expected to be the next in the door.
Add the showing by the young guns to a first team that has gone 1-2-4 in the league — and could have four wins had it not been for some late lapses — and Nelsen is entitled to feel good about the "baby steps" TFC is taking.
Montreal manager Marco Schallibaum, meanwhile, had no qualms with Wednesday's result.
"Toronto merited the win," he said, pointing to mistakes in the second half.
Chilly BMO Field
Facing a crowded league fixture list (both have six games in 18 days), the two coaches reached deep into their squad for a starting 11. And it showed, with some dreary stretches of play before a small crowd of 11,043 on a chilly evening at BMO Field.
Toronto made nine changes to the team that gave up a stoppage-time goal in a 1-1 tie with the visiting Houston Dynamo in league play Saturday. And Montreal made six changes to the starting 11 from its last game, a 1-1 tie with Columbus on April 14.
The revamped lineup paid off for the home side as Doneil Henry and Andrew Wiedeman scored second-half goals to give Toronto the win. The two teams meet next Wednesday in Montreal with the Impact needing to find some offence.
Montreal president Joey Saputo took to Twitter after the game.
"Responding to the comments from our fans...no one is more disappointed than I am, We gambled and lost; time to regroup. It ain't over folks," he said.
Schallibaum defended his selection.
"Alessando Nesta and Marco di Vaio can't play today and also be fresh for Saturday," he said.
And he said those who played had looked ready in the buildup to the game, although he admitted their performance on the night was "another reality."
Montreal (4-1-1 in league play) defeated Toronto 2-1 when they met March 16 in MLS play at the Olympic Stadium.
Both teams were vastly different Wednesday.
Evan Bush filled in for starter Troy Perkins in the Montreal goal.
Jeb Brovsky, Karl Ouimette, Hassoun Camara, Patrice Bernier and Justin Mapp were the only starters who figured in the Impact's starting 11 in its last league outing.
Toronto rang in even more changes.
Frei's return
Frei, serving as captain in the absence of defender Darren O'Dea, made his first start in the Toronto goal since breaking his nose in the pre-season opener. Frei, who subsequently lost his starting job to Joe Bendik, had an uneventful night.
Only Ryan Richter and Braun made it into the cup squad from Saturday's starting 11 against Houston.
There were eight Canadian starters on show Wednesday, five for Toronto and three for Montreal.
The Vancouver Whitecaps rallied to defeat FC Edmonton of the North American Soccer League 3-2 at Commonwealth Stadium in the other semifinal.
The second legs are scheduled for May 1 in Montreal and Vancouver. The final is set for May 15 and 29.
The tournament winner represents Canada in the CONCACAF Champions League. Montreal won the inaugural competition in 2008 with Toronto taking the next four.
Montreal has never beaten Toronto in Canadian Championship play, holding an 0-7-2 record against its Ontario rival.
After a stagnant first half from both teams, Toronto came out with a new sense of purpose. And the home side struck early in the second half.
Henry, who turned 20 on Saturday, opened the scoring in the 49th minute, adding a much needed shot of excitement to a drab evening. It was his second career goal in Toronto colours.
The goal came after Wiedeman kept a ball in play from a corner. He raked the ball back and Jonathan Osorio put the ball back into the penalty box. The ball bounced back off a Montreal defender to Henry just outside the penalty box, directly in front of goal, and the tall defender hammered home a right-footed shot.
It was a beautiful strike in an ugly game of soccer.
Nelsen liked the rest of Henry's performance as well.
"The icing on the cake is the goal obviously, but for me I like to see what he did in the rest of the 93 minutes beside that 10 little seconds of brilliance. The other 93 minutes he was very solid and he defended very well."
Montreal introduced forward Daniele Paponi, its new Italian signing making his MLS debut, and Argentina's Andres Romero in the 60th minute in a bid to inject some offence.
But Toronto continued to do the attacking on what was a disappointing night for the visitors.
Wiedeman, released by a fine pass from substitute Luis Silva, made it 2-0 in the 81st minute on a clinical shot from just inside the penalty box. He had a good chance at a second goal in stoppage time but shot at the goalkeeper.
If the aggregate score is tied after Wednesday' game, the team with the most away goals advances. If that does not settle the mater, there will be a 30-minute extra time period and, if needed, a penalty shootout.

The Justia Lawyer Directory is a listing of lawyers, legal aid organizations, and pro bono legal service organizations. Whether you were injured, are accused of a crime, or are merely engaging in everyday affairs that affect your legal rights or property, an attorney can help you resolve problems or prevent new ones from arising.
Here are just a few situations where you might want to seek the advice of an attorney:
- You were injured in a car or truck accident
- You have been arrested and charged with a crime, such as DUI or shoplifting
- You are considering separating from your spouse
- You have been subjected to harassment or other discrimination at work
Use Justia to research and compare Sylvania attorneys so that you can make an informed decision when you hire your counsel.
It is important to research an attorney before hiring him or her. Be sure to evaluate an attorney's experience (types of cases handled, prior results obtained, etc.). Although prior results are not indicative of the likelihood of success in your case, they can help you make an informed decision.
Also worth serious consideration is the attorney's location, particularly if you will be traveling to visit him or her for consultations.
Finally, research an attorney to see whether he or she has ever been subject to discipline. Although disciplinary actions do not necessarily impact the attorney's competence to handle your case, they may affect your decision whether to hire.

Marking Time by Richard Skelton
"'Marking Time' is Richard's first widely available record and might be the most perfect distillation of his sound to date. Using a selection of bowed string instruments and lavishing these sustained howls with the most delicate of fingerpicked guitar and gentle piano, he takes us through a most harrowing journey. These short songs are deft and deeply touching musings on loss and of the importance of time. Comparisons could be made to plenty of Richard's modern-classical or avant folk contemporaries but few imbue their music with such a deep sense of humanity and patience. This is an album which truly rewards those who give it the time it commands."

The public got its first look this morning at a Naperville woman since her arrest in the stabbing deaths of her 7-year-old son and a 5-year-old girl she was babysitting.
Cameras were allowed inside a DuPage County courtroom as a handcuffed Elzbieta Plackowska stood before a judge and her attorney, Michael Mara, entered a plea of not guilty for her.
Plackowska, dressed in dark blue jail fatigues, said nothing and looked straight ahead as Mara entered the plea to charges that she killed her son, Justin, 7, and Olivia Dworakowski, 5. The hearing was over in about 5 minutes, and Plackowska calmly walked out of the courtroom, escorted by deputies.
One video camera and one photographer were allowed to record the proceedings. The arraignment was the first recorded court hearing in the six-county area. The county's experiment didn't cover all the angles, at least the first time.
Agreeing with a suggestion from Mara, Judge Robert Kleeman decided against having photographers near the witness box for the arraignment, as planned.
Their presence — about eight feet to the judge's left and within the field of vision of the judge, court reporter and lawyers — could affect the proceeding, Kleeman said.
"Putting a camera in that position will be distracting," the judge said.
Kleeman allowed two photographers — one still photographer and one video operator — to be positioned next to the jury box. The spot is farther from the bench and not within any of the participants' peripheral vision.
From that vantage, Plackowska, her attorney and prosecutors all had their backs to the cameras as they stood before Kleeman.
Kleeman's order applied only to Wednesday's proceeding. Other judges could opt to allow the two sets of photographers in future cases where extended media coverage has been requested, DuPage court officials said.
Earlier this year, the Illinois Supreme Court authorized a pilot program to study the issue and about two dozen counties are participating.
Plackowska, 40, has been held without bond in the DuPage County Jail since her arrest Oct. 30. She was indicted on 10 counts of first-degree murder in the stabbing of her son dozens of times, allegedly because she was unhappy in her relationship with her husband.
Olivia, whom Plackowska was baby-sitting, was stabbed to death because she witnessed the boy's slaying, prosecutors said.
Plackowska also was charged with two counts of aggravated cruelty for killing two family dogs in the attack, which took place in the Naperville town house of Dworakowski's mother, authorities said.

Forty years on from their landmark proto-punk album "Raw Power," Iggy and the Stooges announced Monday that they've completed a new studio album, "Ready to Die," set for release April 30 through Fat Possum Records.
It's the first time Iggy Pop has made a full record with guitarist James Williamson and drummer Scott Asheton since 1973's "Raw Power," which followed a pair of albums without Williamson credited simply to the Stooges. (Asheton's brother Ron was the Michigan band's founding guitarist.)
After "Raw Power," Iggy Pop and Williamson went on to work together on a 1977 duo album, "Kill City," and Iggy's 1979 solo disc "New Values." But when the Stooges reunited in 2003, Williamson — who by then had become a technology executive at Sony — declined to take part, sitting out several tours as well as 2007's reunion album "The Weirdness." The guitarist rejoined the Stooges following Ron Asheton's death in 2009.
"My motivation in making any record with the group at this point is no longer personal," Iggy said in a delightfully profane video statement posted online. "It's just a pig-headed ... thing I have, that a real ... group, when they're an older group, they also make ... records. They don't just go and twiddle around onstage to make a bunch of ... money and then go, 'Oh, it wouldn't be as good.'
"This is not the ... Smashing Pumpkins, you know, where we've got the bald guy and whoever," the singer continued. "No. This is the key. The only thing I really have left to say is the Stooges are a real group."
Live dates (with Mike Watt on bass) are to be announced soon, according to Iggy and the Stooges' representatives. Provided they're as good as they were in December 2011 at the Hollywood Palladium, you won't want to miss them.

Advanced practice nurses are a vital part of the expert care given to patients at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.
With advanced training in highly specialized areas, advanced practice nurses are able to care for patients with complex conditions who have under gone sensitive and highly technical procedures.
More than 200 men and women have participated in internship training programs supported by the Nursing Institute in many specialty areas, including:
- Acute care
- Care for specific populations such as seniors, children and adults
- Critical care
- Emergency care
- Neonatal care
- Nurse midwifery
- Oncology
- Operating room subspecialties
What Is Advanced Practice Nursing?
The term advanced practice nurse refers to registered nurses who have gained advanced preparation for expanded clinical practice by earning a master's degree in nursing. Their specific training and skills make them different than other registered nurses.
Advanced practice nurses include nurse practitioners (NPs), clinical nurse specialists (CNSs), nurse anesthetists (CNAs) and certified nurse-midwives (CNMs).
Nurse Practitioners
A nurse practitioner provides direct care to a specific population of patients. These groups of people may be adults, seniors, children or neonates.
Nurse practitioners diagnose and manage common acute and stable chronic health problems. In addition to their traditional registered nursing skills, nurse practitioners can perform comprehensive physical examinations, order and interpret diagnostic tests, request specialty consultations, perform and prescribe therapeutic measures and furnish medications.
A nurse practitioner may be involved with health promotion and disease prevention as well as patient and family education.
Nurse practitioners are individually accountable for their practice. They collaborate closely with physicians.
A nurse preparing to become a nurse practitioner must complete courses related to the direct care of individuals, including differential diagnosis, clinical decision-making, medical therapeutics and pharmacology.
Nurse practitioner students also must complete more than 500 hours of clinical practice under the close supervision of experienced nurse practitioners and physicians.
After they graduate, a nurse practictioner must take national certification exams. In most cases, they must also be specially licensed by the state in which they practice.
Clinical Nurse Specialist
A Clinical Nurse Specialist (CNS) is an expert in clinical nursing who is familiar with the theory and research related to a nursing specialty area. Clinical Nurse Specialists are registered nurses, who have graduate level nursing preparation at the master's or doctoral level as a CNS. They are clinical experts in evidence based nursing practice within a specialty area, treating and managing the health concerns of patients and populations. As an advanced practice registered nurse, the CNS continues to perform many of the same actions used in basic nursing practice. The difference in this practice relates to a greater depth and breadth of knowledge, a greater analysis of data, and complexity of skills and actions.
Traditionally, the CNS provides direct clinical care to patients as well as education, research, consultation and leadership/management. The CNS influences care outcomes by providing expert consultation and implementing improvements in the healthcare delivery system. He/she often functions as a program coordinator, a leader in implementing change strategies to improve patient outcomes, an educator, and/or manager of complex patient populations. The CNS provides direct patient care, including assessing, diagnosing, planning, and treatment of health problems, health promotion, and preventive care within this specialized area of practice.
The CNS specialty may be focused on individuals, populations, settings, type of care, type of problem, or diagnostic systems subspecialty.
The California Board of Registered Nursing must certify any registered nurse who calls themselves a Clinical Nurse Specialist. CNS's may also be certified in their specialty by examination from a national nursing association's credentialing branch such as the American Nurses Credentialing Center.

The Lenoir Community College curriculum enrollment drop isn�t what it seems.
The Lenoir Community College curriculum enrollment drop isn�t what it seems.
The numbers declined 12.6 percent in the fall and 10 percent in the spring, but LCC President Brantley Briley said more students can enroll before the number is finalized.
�Spring opportunities are not over,� he said on Friday, mentioning late start classes. �So we think we are closing the gap.�
The traditional college pathway at LCC is dropping because, hopefully, more area residents are getting trained and into the workforce, Briley said.
�When we say, �we�re down,� we�re down from that bubble we experienced when we had unemployment,� he said. �We�re down from the peak.�
While the numbers fall in the curriculum education arena at LCC, the college�s Continuing Education enrollment has increased by 18 percent this year.
Jay Carraway, vice president of Continuing Education, reported LCC has the second highest enrollment in the 58 schools of the North Carolina Community College System behind Fayetteville Technical Community College.
The program served more than 15,000 students last year.
�The numbers are climbing,� Carraway said. �We try to be as mobile and responsive � as we possibly can. We�re strong in online programs and we have a lot of outreach with our programs.�
Continued Education courses are designed for people who want a jumpstart into the workforce. Carraway said, depending on someone�s personal situation, prospective students may not have time to spend two years on an associate�s degree.
Programs include cosmetology, aerospace, welding, and HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning). Carraway announced at this week�s Board of Trustees meeting the school will get a new certified telecommunication program featuring a medic responder dispatch service.
He said Briley�s support in finding more funds if he exhausts the budget drives Continuing Education to success.
�This is expanding exponentially, which is unlike most community colleges,� Briley said. �They�re not seeing that type of growth. I think that speaks volumes for � Lenoir Community College meeting the need, and then secondly, the quality of instruction we deliver.�
The Spanish Cosmetology class taught through the Continuing Education curriculum is the only one of its kind east of I-95, attracting students from as far as Winston-Salem for the two-day course.
�When you have loyalty, they�ll travel,� Continuing Education Director Carlos Cotto said. �I did not advertise this class � they came by word of mouth.�
Mitzi Arteaga, 19, used to go to school in Lillington before discovering the cosmetology class at LCC. The closer campus made her Goldsboro commute easier.
�I used to have to drive all the way to Lillington,� she said. �I�m going to get (two) licenses in June.�
She started a year ago with cosmetology and nail technician classes and can work at a shop of her choice or open her own once she passes state board exams.
�There are a lot of benefits,� cosmetology instructor Rose Del Toro said. �People have more knowledge about how to treat customers. I always say if people are more ready to work out there, we have more money in the community.�
While college administrators are delighted with the skyrocketing enrollment percentage of Continuing Education, Briley said they are taking the curriculum education numbers seriously, forming an Operation Energizing Enrollment team.
�We are looking at the way we do business in curriculum,� he said. �In every program, curriculum or continued education, it�s the people who make a difference, and we try our best to make sure we hire the right people.�

'The Hunger Games' Names Are The Hot New Baby Trend
'Twilight' names have topped list for years, but a new report says soon enough you'll see way more babies straight from the OTHER book-inspired mega movie, 'The Hunger Games'!
We reported that Twilight-inspired baby names like Bella and Jacob took top spots in 2012, but you'll be seeing way more Kats and Catos soon at a playground near you!
iVillage.com reports that names from The Hunger Games have gotten a huge bump based on data collected by Social Security Administration's list of top baby names.
Names like Katniss, Peeta, Gale, Primrose, Rue, and Cato are all totally trending.
They are "cool and unusual — two key factors for many moms and dads with baby names on the brain" says the report.
Do you think those names make cute baby names, HollyMoms?

Sequester may delay tax refunds
Law-abiding taxpayers could shoulder the brunt of the blow when the sequester hits the Internal Revenue Service Friday — and tax cheats might find it easier to rig the system.
It's a little-discussed risk of the automatic budget cuts — and yet, another smack to the already battered 2012 tax filing season.
Story Continued Below
Absent a last-minute deal, the 8.2 percent funding cut facing the cash-strapped IRS will most likely translate to fewer specialists on hand to help taxpayers with their returns and to root out fraud — two tasks that watchdog groups say need more, not fewer, hands.
And while the sequester isn't great for any federal agency, it amounts to particularly bad timing for the IRS. That's because, depending on union negotiations, furloughs could come just as millions of Americans are trying to pay their income taxes.
"At a minimum, it's probably going to take longer for people to get through on the phone; it's going to take longer for refunds to be processed," said Floyd Williams, a senior tax counsel at Public Strategies Washington.
Williams, who worked for the IRS for nearly two decades and directed the agency's legislative affairs office for 16 years, says the sequester could also be a boon to those who purposely commit fraud or accidentally fill out returns incorrectly.
"Anytime there is a drop-off in enforcement, you're going to see a growth in the so-called tax gap, which is the difference between what the government collects and what is rightfully owed," he told POLITICO.
Right now, that gap is close to $400 billion.
Of course, this tax season has already been topsy-turvy. Last-minute tweaks in the fiscal cliff forced the agency to postpone the tax season start date and push back some types of returns, and a court decision in mid-January left tax preparers scratching their heads over return preparation rules.
In that vein, the cuts — a self-inflicted punishment crafted by the White House and Congress in hopes of spurring deficit reduction as part of the 2011 debt ceiling deal — are just another loop-de-loop on the 2012 filing season roller coaster.
Acting Treasury Secretary Neal Wolin and acting IRS Commissioner Steven Miller have warned lawmakers and staff that the sequester cuts could mean IRS employee furloughs.
Wolin told lawmakers in a letter Feb. 7 that sequester cuts to the IRS would be "particularly painful … reducing the agency's ability to provide quality service to taxpayers."
The IRS has already shaved its 91,000-person workforce by 10,000 employees via attrition over the past two years. Like many agencies, it's been operating on a reduced budget.
The Taxpayer Advocate Service, an office that strives to make the IRS more user-friendly, told Congress earlier this year that the agency needs more resources to be helpful to Americans.
Now, the IRS is on the verge of operating with even less.
Sequester furloughs would equate to fewer operators or reduced hours at IRS taxpayer call centers, experts say.
Consequently, millions of Americans phoning for help with their returns might not get calls back.
Last year, more than 115 million people called the IRS for help; only 68 percent of those who wanted to speak with tax experts actually got through — and only after holding for an average of 17 minutes on phone lines.
One million of the 10 million written inquiries mailed to the IRS last year also did not get a response.
Sequester furloughs during tax season will exacerbate that backlog, officials and experts have warned.

Gosh, Kermit, I Think I'd Get That Looked At...
The store selling these cakes (oh yes, there are more!) claims that they are watermelons.
As you can see from this other example, the "slice" appears to have drifted southward over time, resulting in the truly unfortunate and rather alarming spectacle you see here. In fact, this guy could be the new spokesman for certain "personal care" items, don't you think? Can't you just see him bouncing across your television screen, his squeaky voice telling you to "ask your doctor if HerpAway is right for you!"?

Daiwa House and Fujita: Still Waiting for China
A few days after a national election in Japan that ended in victory for the tough-on-China legislator Shinzo Abe, home builder Daiwa House Industry provided a reminder that the tension between Asia's two largest economies continues to bite.
Daiwa House said Thursday that it's been forced to push back its planned acquisition of construction company Fujita Corp. since it hasn't been able to get antitrust sign-off from China.
Daiwa House said it doesn't know whether the delay – it's been four months since it said it would buy Fujita for Y50 billion ($595 million) – is due to friction over a chain of islands in the East China Sea that are controlled by Japan but claimed by China as well. The Japanese government's September announcement that it would buy those islands, called Senkaku in Japanese and Diaoyu in Chinese, sparked protests in cities from Beijing to Shanghai, as well as delays in processing shipments from Japan and boycotts of Japanese goods like Toyota cars.
Some experts say that China has been slower than other countries in recent years in clearing antitrust applications, and so it's hard to tell whether processing delays are intentional, and what the cause is.
Still, the Osaka-based Daiwa House now adds its name to a list of Japanese outbound M&A deals which have yet to materialize as China continues to protest the islands purchase by sending boats into nearby waters, and Japanese politicians like Mr. Abe ramp up rhetoric in response.

The Azure Code Samples are currently available in English
App Service Mobile Apps completed quickstart for .NET backend
This repository contains a .NET backend Mobile App project based on the App Service Mobile Apps quickstart project, which you can download from the Azure portal. This project has been enhanced by the addition of offline sync, authentication, and push notification functionality. This sample demonstrates how to best integrate the various Mobile Apps features. This readme topic contains the following information to help you run the sample app project and to better understand the design decisions.
- Overview
- Create a new .NET backend Mobile App
- Configure authentication
- Configure push notifications
- Publish the project to Azure
- Implementation notes
To learn more about a Mobile Apps .NET backend project, see Work with the .NET backend server SDK for Azure Mobile Apps.
The project in this repository is equivalent to downloading the quickstart .NET backend project from the portal and then completing the following Mobile Apps tutorials:
- Enable offline sync for your Windows app
- Add authentication to your Windows app
- Add push notifications to your Windows app
Create a new .NET backend Mobile App
The first step is to create a new Mobile App backend in Azure. You can do this either by completing the quickstart tutorial or by following these steps.
Configure authentication
Because both the client and backend are configured to use authentication, you must define an authentication provider for your app and register it with your Mobile App backend in the portal.
Follow the instructions in the topic to configure the Mobile App backend to use one of the following authentication providers:
[Authorize] attribute applied to the controllers means that requests must contain an App Service authentication header (X-ZUMO-AUTH) with a valid token. To test authentication when running locally, you must also set the following app settings in the Web.config file:
- SigningKey - obtained from
- ValidAudience - defaults to the URL of your Mobile App backend.
- ValidIssuer - defaults to the URL of your Mobile App backend.
Configure push notifications
You need to configure push notifications by registering your Windows app with the Windows Store then storing the app's package SID and client secret in the Mobile App backend. These credentials are used by Azure to connect to Windows Notification Service (WNS) to send push notifications. Complete the following sections of the push notifications tutorial to configure push notifications:
- Create a Notification Hub
- Register your app for push notifications
- Configure the backend to send push notifications
For local testing, you must also replace the following settings values in the Web.config file with values from the notification hub used by your Mobile App backend:
- MS_NotificationHubName - the name of the notification hub.
- MS_NotificationHubConnectionString - the Notification Hubs connection string for the DefaultFullSharedAccessSignature key.
Publish the project to Azure
To be able to test this project with one of the corresponding client apps, you need to publish the project to your Mobile App backend in Azure:
- In Solution Explorer, right-click the project and click Publish.
- In Profile, click Microsoft Azure App Service, select your subscription, locate the Mobile App backend you created either by browsing or by searching for the name, then click OK.
- Validate the connection, then click Publish.
Now you are ready to test. Because authentication is enabled on this project, much harder to test using a REST client since you will need to present an X-ZUMO-AUTH header in the request that contains a valid access token.
Implementation notes
This section highlights changes made to the original tutorial samples and other design decisions were made when implementing all of the features or Mobile Apps in the same client app.
Push to users
The push notification tutorial sends broadcast push notifications to all registrations. Because authentication is enabled in the backed, all push notification registration requests handled by the backend from Mobile Apps clients get a userId tag added to the registration automatically. This tag can then be used to send push notifications to a specific user. The code below gets the userID for the logged in user and uses it to send a notification to only that user.
// Get the settings for the server project.
HttpConfiguration config = this.Configuration;
MobileAppSettingsDictionary settings =
// Get the Notification Hubs credentials for the Mobile App.
string notificationHubName = settings.NotificationHubName;
string notificationHubConnection = settings
// Create the notification hub client.
NotificationHubClient hub = NotificationHubClient
.CreateClientFromConnectionString(notificationHubConnection, notificationHubName);
// Get the current user SID and create a tag for the current user.
var claimsPrincipal = this.User as ClaimsPrincipal;
string sid = claimsPrincipal.FindFirst(ClaimTypes.NameIdentifier).Value;
string userTag = "_UserId:" + sid;
// Build a dictionary for the template with the item message text.
var notification = new Dictionary<string, string> { { "message", item.Text } };
// Send a template notification to the user ID.
await hub.SendTemplateNotificationAsync(notification, userTag);
catch (System.Exception)
throw new HttpResponseException(System.Net.HttpStatusCode.InternalServerError);
When the user has registered on multiple devices, each device will get a notification. When registering for push notifications from an authenticated client, make sure that authentication is complete before attempting registration.
Template push notification registration
The original push notification tutorial used native registrations. This sample has been changed to use a template registration, which makes it easier to send push notifications to users on multiple clients from a single send method call. You can see in the above code that the SendTemplateNotificationAsync() method is called, which sends a notification to all platforms.
For more information, see How to: Register push templates to send cross-platform notifications.
Client-added push notification tags
When a mobile app registers for push notifications using an Azure App Service Mobile Apps backend, there are two default tags that can get added to the registration in Azure Notification Hubs: the installation ID, which is unique to the app on a given device, and the user ID, which is only added when the user has been previously authenticated. Any other tags that get supplied by the client are ignored, which is by design. (Note that this differs from Mobile Services, where the client could supply any tag and there were hooks into the registration process on the backend to validate tags on incoming registrations.)
Because the client can't add tags and at the same time there are no service-side hooks into the push notification registration process, the client needs to do the work of adding new tags to a given registration. In this sample, there is an UpdateTagsController that defines an
/updatetags endpoint to enable clients to add tags to their push registration. The client calls that endpoint with its installationId to create new tags.
The following code updates and installation to add user-supplied tags:
// Verify that the tags are a valid JSON array.
var tags = JArray.Parse(message);
// Define a collection of PartialUpdateOperations. Note that
// only one '/tags' path is permitted in a given collection.
var updates = new List<PartialUpdateOperation>();
// Add a update operation for the tag.
updates.Add(new PartialUpdateOperation
Operation = UpdateOperationType.Add,
Path = "/tags",
Value = tags.ToString()
// Add the requested tag to the installation.
await hubClient.PatchInstallationAsync(Id, updates);
For more information, see Adding push notification tags from an Azure Mobile Apps client.

The 10 football rule changes proposed by an NCAA committee
A rule to automatically eject players for targeting a defenseless player above the head and shoulders is one of 10 potential changes recommended by the NCAA Football Rules Committee, which met this week to discuss ways to increase player safety and "improve the game."
Of the 10 suggestions, the rule impacting targeting – like last year's rule moving kickoffs up to the 35-yard line – is the one gaining the most attention. Lost in the shuffle are several additional recommendations that could, if passed, produce a heavy change in the way college football is played.
Here's a breakdown of the committee's proposals:
1. Targeting. As noted, the committee unanimously agreed that in addition to the existing 15-yard penalty, a player should be ejected for targeting a defenseless player above the shoulders. As with fighting, a player who is penalized for targeting in the first half would miss the remainder of the game; if he is penalized in the second half, he would miss the rest of that game and the first half of his team's next contest.
RULES: NCAA rules group takes aim at targeting
To balance out the incidents where a player is unfairly penalized, officiating crews would be allowed to review the hit through video replay. Said the committee, the replay official "must have conclusive evidence that a player should not be ejected to overturn the call on the field."
One example of targeting (South Carolina defensive back D.J. Swearinger against UAB):
2. Blocking below the waist. The NCAA has tried (and largely failed) over the last two years to streamline the ruling on blocks below the waist. To help make a difficult call easier for on-field officials, the committee proposed that any block below the waist that occurs in front of a defender is legal; all other blocks below the waist are not.
3. Clock runoff. The committee proposed a 10-second clock runoff with less than a minute left in either half "when the sole reason for the clock to stop is an injury." This rule would join one already in place forcing a 10-second runoff for an offensive penalty with less than a minute remaining in either half. While this does not prevent teams from feigning injury during normal play – like several teams have done to slow down Oregon's offense – it does eliminate the chance that an offensive player would choose to go down on the field to give his team more time to regroup during a no-huddle situation.
4. Spiking the football. This might be the strangest proposal: The committee suggested that an offense be prohibited from spiking the ball and stopping the clock with less than three seconds on the clock. Instead, the team could only run an offensive play with one or two seconds remaining.
This won't be popular. What happens when your team, down two points, hits a big gain to inside the opposition's red zone with two seconds left? If you're out of timeouts, the rule would prevent a team from spiking the ball and kicking a field goal. Instead, it would be on the quarterback to throw a game-winning score as time expired.
BIG TEN: League decides to stop scheduling FCS opponents
5. Number changes. In a potential nod to USC, which was accused of such gamesmanship during a win over Colorado, the committee proposed a rule requiring a team to announce to an official when a player switches numbers during the course of a game. The official will then announce the changed number, which would prevent a team from deceiving an opponent.
6. Same number at same position. Similarly to the rule above, the committee proposed a rule preventing teams from having players who play the same position share the same number. For example, having two quarterbacks who share the same number could, yes, deceive the opposition.
7. The Boise State rule. As part of its renewed contract with the Mountain West, Boise State would have been allowed to wear all-blue jerseys on its all-blue field. If passed, the committee's suggestion would nix the Broncos' blue-on-blue combination. The committee proposed a rule that would "require teams to have either their jersey or pants contrast in color to the playing field." While this impacts other FBS teams, Boise State's perceived jersey advantage has long been a bone of contention with its conference brethren. (Of course, the Broncos would be outstanding at home wearing any combination of colors.)
TV DEAL: Big East, NBC cable network in talks for TV deal
8. Electronic communication. I'll let the rules committee describe this one: "To allow the use of electronic communication by the on-field officiating crew after successful experimentation by the Southeastern Conference. This is not a required piece of equipment but will allow officiating crews to use this tool."
Old-school refereeing: Officials talk like normal human beings, face-to-face and in person. New-school refereeing: Officials can talk remotely, from one end of the field to another. Whatever increases communication between officiating crews is good for football. Let's try this one out with Pac-12 officials, please.
9. Eighth official. If passed, this rule would allow the Big 12 to use an eighth official during conference games. The added official would line up alongside the referee in the backfield. Another set of eyes can't hurt. Let's give the Pac-12 an extra official.
10. More instant replay. In the past, officials could only use instant replay to adjust the clock at the end of each half. If passed, this rule would give officials the right to use replay to measure time at the end of each quarter.
The next step in the process forwards these proposals from the NCAA Football Rules Committee to the Playing Rules Oversight Panel, which meets on Mar. 6. At that date, the panel can decide to accept or decline the committee's recommendations. Typically, but not always, the panel gives the suggestions a rubber stamp.

Buick Century Maintenance and Repair
dancin_partner Posts: 1Junkyard motor? At about 210,000 miles, my '98 had already had intake and head gaskets (heads resurfaced) redone. At about 230,000 miles the camshaft broke. After finding a machine shop that does "line boring" and $1200 later, I found out that GM was so nice that they put hollow camshafts in all of their 3.1 and 3.4 litre motors. All six of the shops told me that the camshaft usually breaks at about 150,000 miles. Finding a "line boring" shop was the biggest chore. Not too many of them exist in NW Ohio. Did you or your friend talk to any machine shops? It's alot easier to change the cam and lifters before it breaks. Knowing what I do about these silly cars, I'll recommend you first, research what I've said and second, take another couple of weekends, pull the motor and replace the camshaft before it breaks. If not, you'll probably find out that the car will just shut off for no appearant reason and not restart. Mine happened on the interstate on my way to work. I'll, also, recommend that you replace the shift solonoids in the transmission at the same. At the GM dealer, I bought all four for mine for under a hundred dollars. It takes longer to remove the side case than it does to change all four solonoids. You'll change the fluid, seven quarts, and filter about forty bucks for the whole deal. Then you can have all of the major Century issues out of the way. I'm at about 350,000 miles now. Hope you find this useful. I wish I Knew some of this stuff before finding out the hard way.0
midastouch1953 Posts: 1I've had this similar prob with Olds, and Buick's inparticular.......depending on the engine, and how many you have, it's been the coil, or coil pack, that was the culprit0
dylanfalduto Posts: 1I broke the entrance key for my 1999 Buick Century Classic. Fortunately, or perhaps unfortunately, the fragment went flying into the snow rather than jamming in the trunk. I broke into my car and can drive it with the ignition, but obviously I can't drive around much longer without being able to lock it. Was curious if you guys have ever removed a trunk lock cylinder? I do not wan't to damage the electronic release or strip it. I also don't want to pay a mechanic to do this if it is a practical task to do myself. Thank You!!0
mikem11221 Posts: 1i have a 2002 buick century and it has been acting up by surging from a dead stop and i have shifting problems. its almost as if the motor has no power. it doesnt want to accelerate and takes forever to get up to speed. but it didnt thro any codes. it did throw a high voltage code but i was thinking wouldnt it trip the check engine light? also i was told there is two shift solenoids in the trans a 1-2 and a 2-3 but i cant find the 1-2 solenoid anywhere. does any1 have any idea what this would be a solenoid or the tps (throtle position sensor)?0
nonfixable Posts: 1sorry new to this site didnt know where to actually ask these questions
1. i have a 94 century and am looking into new tires. the current ones came off my old non running 95 century size is 185/75/14. i was told they dont make my tire anymore from several tire places. what would be the size i would need then?
2. i have a two part question here, my car is hardly ever in the shop it is always fixed by my dad. my anti lock brake light is on. hes checked the rear wheels for locking up. hes checked the brake lines and front roaters for rubbing ( dont know what that actually means) hes checked to see if the fuse is bad incase it was a false/positive in the dash lights. the car stops fine and the brakes never lock up. what else should he check to make this light go off? and will the part that needs fixing interchange from the non running 95 century?0
rjt427 Posts: 26I have a 1991 century with 33,000 miles on it. If the car sits all night in the morning its hard to start,it takes 15, to 20 seconds to start, after it starts its fine for the rest of the day. Only after a long time sitting is it hard to start.This problem just started , I have replaced the fuel pump,and fuel filter. Can someone help me with this problem ? Thanks0
fivershyfywfy Posts: 1In July 2011 I inherited a 1997 Buick Century Custom complete with Dynaride and Concert sound... and the car rides smoother and bumps harder than any other car i have ever had. My mom had been storing the car for me to come and retrieve since my grandmother had her license revoked so in order to make sure everything was working well she took it to the Top Gun or Top Flight service center in Orange County, CA. It passed with flying colors something like a 72 point inspection that cost almost 300 bucks. 3 days later my daughter and i began the 7 hour drive home to Santa Rosa By the time we reached the Los Angeles County line the right blinker had gone out, and the indicator in the interior was rapidly blinking. and yet still we continued on our way... We stopped to fill up in Castaic, near the "grapevine" and then again in San Jose when i picked up a buddy of mine to help me drive the rest of the way. About a block away from his house my fuel gauge said i had a quarter tank of gas left. when he got into the drivers seat to begin driving the gas light came on and dinged at me... we flipped a u turn and headed for the nearest gas station, where upon arrival prior to buying any gas the needle of the gas gauge was now reading pas the full mark. AND THIS WAS JUST THE START!!!
I have run out of gas at least 5 or 6 times and i know this is bad for the car but its almost impossible for me to calculate the gas mileage im gonna be getting with this car, and it gives no warning im lucky if i can even get it to the side of the road. I have even started having anxiety attacks at red lights. Ive also noticed that sometimes in the morning my interior dash lights will "appear" to be on only a block later ill hear a pop sound and then they come on all the way. RIght now my ABS and Emergency Brake lights in the dash are on and they have stayed on even though i never use the ebrake because it hurts my back. A month after i got the car my front right blinker and daylamp mysteriously fixed themselves on their own accord,,, no new bulbs fuses or anything, however as of today they are out again and this time ive tried new bulbs and fuses. And STILL THERES MORE
twice since i have had the car it has refused to start...at first i thought it was the starter but i wasnt too worried since it had only happened twice.. My dad is an amazing mechanic, specializing in custom fabrication and repair, so i stopped at his house about a month ago because it was having a hard time starting, he again checked all my fluids, and fuses. The battery was really low, and didnt seem to hold a charge according to the voltage reader so he put it on a charger and we let it fully charge before we left, He took out the glove box and hood lamp bulbs to conserve energy and suggested i buy a new battery as soon as possible. 2 weeks ago i went to pick my daughter up from her grandmas house, car started just fine in my driveway but when i tried to start it at their house all it did was click. Thinking it was the battery this time i had my sister in law attempt to jump start my car with hers. And still all we got was a click click click. we disconnected the jumper cables and pushed my car back in the driveway all of 3 feet and the darn thing started right up. My clock had reset itself but my radio stations were still programmed. For the last three days i have had to jump start my car id say like 75 percent of the time in order for it to start, my cables are clean and are not corroded. None of my fuses or bulbs are blown. I make sure everything in the car is off so as not to drain the battery. my dad said he thinks that if its not the battery that its probably the starter not getting enough juice from the battery because all of the lights, radio, door locks, interior dash lights, power windows seats and doors work...
Anyone got any ideas.. seriously any ideas on what we should try to fix this problem, other than a new battery cause right now im getting ready to walk to my house cause guess what my car wont start!!0
ben109 Posts: 1i have the same issue but the cause of this issue is the overdrive celonoid which is 30 bucks at oreilly auto parts, the catch is you have take apart the transmission to get to this celonoid so it will end up costing you tons of money. heres a tip if you dont like the jerk when it starts from a stop shift it into 1,2, or 3rd then when you get rolling shift it back into overdrive0
cmg1111 Posts: 1STOP....TAKE A DEEP.. BREATH,,,,,,,lol EXHALE....lol YOUR STARTER HAS A FLAT SPOT...on the sylinode.....you can get away with this issue for a period of time b4 you have to replace.. the starter, by a few tips ,,,, first of all I assume your a manual trans...? rolling the vehical almost wrks everytime... ,as well as turning key ,back and forth prior to starting your vehical , if auto trans...key on shift lever up and down
good luck0
did you ever find out what the problem was? I have a similar problem with my 95 buick century.0
did you ever find out what the problem is? I'm having very similar problems with my 95.0
Did you ever find out what the problem was? I'm having the almost exact same problem with my 95 Century. please let me know asap thanks.0
When going from Park/Neutral to Reverse there's a loud 'clunk' and it jerks into gear. Does the same 'jerk' going into Drive but doesn't 'clunk'. All shifting in Drive is very smooth. This is my second transmission (professionally installed about 100,000 miles ago). Is the tranny going out or could it be something else (like the torqure converter.....etc)?0
Not yet....I am going to take it in to either a transmission shop or repair shop (owned by a guy who worked as the head mechanic for our local Chevy dealership) sometime in the next 2 weeks. I'll post the findings.0
jimmy124 Posts: 4sounds like its loseing presser mybe the presser reg u should check it ....or hook up a fuel presser gag and check the psi and let it sit and see if it losses
presser right off hand could be a few things as well0
rupesattic Posts: 1We have the same issue with our Buick same as yours and a 98. We still have the problem and have tried both keys that came with the car. Even our mechanic friend is perplexed. Any other thoughts on what could be the issue? We got it turning over but it won't fire. We changed the ignition switch and the starter even added a push button switch in it and still won't fire. Any one have any suggestions?
jaliv1 Posts: 1All that is needed to replace the torque strut is to remove the bolt going through the hole in each end, then lift it out. To replace it, put the new part where the old one was and put the bolts back through the holes, then put on the nuts and tighten them. If memory serves, you will need a 13mm and a 15mm wrench to loosen and tighten the bolts and nuts.0
I have a 2002 century. Last year I blew a head gasket, and replaced them as well as the LIM and UIM gaskets, and while i was there, i replaced the thermostat. Then this year, the car started over heating so I replaced the radiator and cap cause it was full of rust, as well as the water pump. Next day, I blew the LIM gasket. So I ripped it all apart again and replaced the gaskets again, including the heads again since i was right there. Now it's all back together, and i'm still over heating, and i have no heat out of the vents. If i step on the gas and get the rpms up, the heater kicks in and the car cools back down, as soon as i let off, it starts overheating again and i lose heat in the cabin again. I'm left with just a couple possiblilities i can think of, before i rip things apart again. Is it possible that the belt if too loose, because when i rev the engine, everything kicks in and works properly, or is it also possible that the thermostat is clogged or bad because of the rust that was in the radiator and flowing thru the system for the last year now, and one more thing, once the car comes up to temp, i open the bleeder valve on the thermostat housing and mostly only get air and steam out of it, if i rev the engine, i get coolant eventually come out. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated and sorry for the long winded explanation.0
redbird48 Posts: 17I also have a 2002 Century that was bought new in 2002. It sounds like you still have air trapped in the cooling system. Also you must still have rust and maybe even some motor oil in your cooling system. even a small amount of air in these Buicks will cause cooling problems and the heater to not work right. I hope you did not use cheap discount store gaskets to do your repair. Fel-Pro are some of the best and are recommended by many expert mechanics. You can use liquid Cascade automatic dishwasher soap to clean your cooling system before putting new fresh green anti-freeze back in the system. I do not recommend the Dexcool stuff that came in it. There were problems with it that were causing gasket problems. The green stuff works just fine and is cheaper. After you put the dish washing soap in your radiator drive it for a few days if it is not freezing where you live yet. after a few days drain it out then refill with plane water and drive a few more days to wash the soap out. Then fill with green anti-freeze and burp and bleed all the air out of the system with the 2 bleed screws. It is best to have the back wheels lower than the engine to get all the air out. This will cause the air to travel to the front of the engine where the bleeders are located. You may have to try several times to get all the air out , but it works this way. I wish you luck with your Buick.0
No, I definitely used FelPro gaskets. And I need to replace one of the bleeder screws, the one on top of the water pump, I broke the head tightening it back down. And I will try the cascade thing to clean it out. Thanks for the info0

Where can I find 3 more of these rims they will fit on my 94 Buick Century but I have to get a suspension upgrade for it to utilize the P225/75/R15 since it bangs the fender flares so instead I have to get lower profile tires or same perimeter of the stock tires P185/65/R14 but the front tires won't need to be as wide as the rear end because the front axle is a bit wider than the rear axle, which is weird because I believe the short wheelbase for the rear axle is what's causing the car not to handle well on dirt roads.

OAKLAND — When she opened the Anna Head School for Girls in Berkeley 125 years ago, the innovative educator might not have envisioned that in 2012, Head-Royce School would have 875 students, girls and boys, and a full K-12 curriculum.
"I think if Anna Head could see the teaching and the diversity of the students today, she'd be very proud," said Robert Lake, who has been Head of School at Head-Royce on Lincoln Avenue in Oakland for the past three years.
"I find that Head-Royce has a wonderful balance between its sense of history and place and also not being stodgy or set in its ways," said Lake, who lives in Oakland with his wife and two sons, both students at Head-Royce.
Lake said he feels a "real responsibility" to continue Anna Head's vision and provide exceptional education to children of all ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds.
"Anna Head was committed to teaching the whole child, not just academics but art, music and sports," Lake said. "She promoted the learning of languages and international affairs. That's been part of the school's DNA for many years."
In fact, in 1897, Walter Magee, then director of physical culture at UC Berkeley, wrote:
"The young ladies of Miss Head's School and the young ladies of the University of California participated in the first (basketball) match ever played between women anywhere …"
Lake said the school today strives to maintain that forward thinking that Anna Head spearheaded.
"We can't underestimate the courage and vision that it took for a woman to found a school for girls with the premise of providing excellent education," Lake said. "It's very inspiring to me."
Anna Head was born in Massachusetts in 1857 to Elizabeth Head — who later ran a French and English School in Oakland — and Edward Head, a graduate of Harvard Law School.
The family moved to San Francisco in 1861 and later relocated to Oakland. Anna Head graduated from Oakland High School in 1874 and was one of 23 women in a class of 177 to graduate from UC Berkeley in 1879, with a degree in education administration.
The original Anna Head School was located in a large two-story house at 2538 Channing Way in Berkeley. Anna Head was just 31 years old when she opened it.
In 1892, the Berkeley Daily Herald wrote:
"Four years ago, Miss Anna Head opened in Berkeley a small school for girls … to establish a school that would do away with the useless routine work that cumbers so much of the ordinary teaching and replace it with the best in the German and English systems …"
Anna Head retired in 1909 and sold the school to Mary Wilson, who had been a teacher there. After Wilson retired in 1938, the Hyde family and subsequently the Dewey family owned the school.
In 1955, the University of California informed the Deweys that it needed the school's land for its own expansion and proceeded to acquire the property through eminent domain.
The Deweys could not afford to relocate so they donated the school to the newly formed Anna Head School Inc. and appointed a board of trustees to run it. The board searched for a new site for the school and finally chose the current 14-acre location on Lincoln Avenue. Construction began, and by 1964, was complete.
In 1971, the school board established a boys' school that was named the Royce School in honor of Anna Head's brother-in-law Josiah Royce, a Harvard professor and philosopher. It was located just across the street from Anna Head School, in what is now Lincoln Child Center. By 1979, the schools were merged into one coeducational unit called Head-Royce School.
In an interesting twist of fate, Lincoln Child Center, which is run by the Oakland Unified School District, is moving to West Oakland. Head-Royce is in the process of purchasing the eight-acre property where it once held classes as the Royce School for boys.
"There are members of the current school community who took classes there," Lake said. "This acquisition is exciting for the long-term stability and health of the school."
Lake said the school will develop the Lincoln Child Center site over a five-year period.
"One huge thing that we are committed to is improving traffic on Lincoln Avenue during drop-off and pickup times," Lake said. "We are optimistic that our expansion will have a positive outcome for the neighborhood, for the school and for the city of Oakland."
Lake said the board's purchase of the property will serve the school and its students well for the next 125 years.
"The hallmark of the school's leadership, including previous heads (of school) and boards, is to continually ask, 'What do students need now and what do students need in the future?'" Lake said.
The tuition for Head-
Royce School is:
$23,420 for kinder-
garten through grade five; $26,150 for grades six through eight; and $33,525 for grades nine through 12. Head-Royce provides nearly $4 million in grants to more than 200 students in grades kindergarten through 12 on the basis of need. An additional $15,000 is set aside for work-study grants.

A heathland course of Championship status (Par 71) set amongst heather, pine trees and silver birch.
The Championship course (of 6754 yards) has two loops of nine holes. The course is a serious test of accuracy off the tee and precision to access many of the tight and firm greens.
The course definition may have changed dramatically in the intervening one hundred years, but its character still remains intact. If you stray off line expect to be heavily punished for your sins. The drive at the dogleg 3rd and 9th holes requires extreme care, as do the 15th and 16th on the back nine. The greens are compact and your approach shot requires precision to find the putting surface. The fairways are predominantly flat leaving you invigorated from the exercise with a surfeit of energy to meet the excesses of the 19th hole.
