Before renting a dumpster or dump trailer, it's important to understand the minute details of the terms and conditions of the rental agreement. It will help avoid surprises later one, such as additional charges being added to your final bill due to overages. Read the tips below to become a more informed dumpster rental customer.
The trucks can only handle a certain amount of weight. Exceeding this limit could damage the truck and/or cause unsafe driving conditions.
Landfill dump fees are charged by the ton, so to maintain a sustainable business, rental companies must set weight limits on each load.
Weight allowances vary by company but can range from 1 ton to 8 tons or more. In some cases, you'll be offered an unlimited weight allowance, but you must still abide by the rules of loading the dumpster to a specified height limit and never exceeding the top rim of the container.
TIP: Be particularly careful of exceeding the weight allowance when loading heavy debris, such as concrete, dirt or roofing shingles. Most containers have a fill line inside the dumpster to help you stay under the weight limit.
What happens when you overfill the dumpster?
If you fill the roll-off above the designated fill line – there's generally a separate fill line for construction debris and for household junk/waste – the dumpster company has the right to remove some or all of the load. In many cases, you as the customer are responsible for unloading the material/debris until the load complies with the rental company's policy.
By law, they cannot haul the bin with waste, junk or debris exceeding the top of the container. Additionally, they need to tarp the load, and if they cannot secure the tarp down properly, they may need to remove some debris from the top.
If you are not on site during the dumpster pickup, the driver may remove some debris from the dumpster to comply with local rules and regulations. They would leave the debris onsite, and you would be responsible for disposal. Alternatively, the driver may not pick up the container at all and you would be assessed a trip charge on your final invoice (see below).
The rental provider's terms will spell out the standard rental duration. In most cases, a 7-day or 10-day rental period is the norm.
You can often extend or shorten these terms upon request. There is usually a daily fee for extending the rental period. To have the container picked up early, give your rental provider a call and request an early pickup. They may or may not have a driver available to pick it up the same day, so it's best to plan ahead and schedule this.
To end the rental and have the container picked up early, simply call the dumpster company for an early pickup. You will not receive a discount for ending the rental agreement early. There's no guarantee the dumpster company will be able to pick up the container that day or the next; it depends upon their availability to get a truck out to your site.
What happens when the driver can't pick up the dumpster?
The container is overfilled and/or too heavy to pick up. Dumpster trucks have a maximum lifting and carrying capacity, and if your load exceeds that amount, the driver has no other option than to leave the container onsite.
Hazardous materials or mixed wastes are dumped into the roll-off container. Chemicals and flammable wastes are not allowed in most cases, and it's unsafe for the driver to haul such debris. Mixing trash and debris into a clean-loaded dumpster – "clean loads" are dumpsters filled with only one type of debris, such as concrete – could result in the driver not hauling away the container from the job site.
Something is blocking access to the dumpster. For example, a car is in the way. Be sure the truck driver has plenty of access to the dumpster during the scheduled pickup time.
These can become expensive mistakes on the part of the customer. Even though the driver doesn't haul away the dumpster, the customer is usually charged a "trip fee" for driving out to the site. It covers the time and fuel involved in the pick-up. These fees vary, but you can expect to pay in the neighborhood of $75 to $150 each time the driver comes out.
Have the dumpster debris loaded below the top of the container. Most municipalities require this for safety purposes during transport of the container.
Don't mix trash and other wastes in with clean-loaded containers. If trash did somehow get mixed in, remove it.
Likewise, remove any hazardous wastes that may have gotten mixed into the load.
If the driver can't lift the container due to weight, remove some of the debris to accommodate the weight limits of the truck.
There are "distance fees" applicable in most cases. These fees cover the dumpster provider's fuel costs and driving time. This fee should be included in your initial dumpster quote. If you live in close proximity to the rental company, these fees will generally not apply.
By choosing a dumpster rental company within a close proximity of your home or job site, you may be able to reduce or eliminate this fee and save some money on the rental. Get quotes from at least 2-3 dumpster companies to get the best pricing.
These charges may not apply in every case, for example, you won't incur a permit fee if one isn't required.
Which wastes are not allowed?
Waste haulers may take some of these hazardous items for an additional fee if you separate them from the rest of the load.
***Additional fees apply if any prohibited wastes are discovered during the emptying of the dumpster.
When is a dumpster permit required?
A permit is typically required when the container is placed on the side of a city street or any other public right-of-way. If you plan to have the dumpster placed in your driveway or other privately-owned piece of your property, a permit is generally not required.
It's your responsibility to obtain the necessary permits, although most dumpster rental companies are glad to help. Contact your local city government, or visit its website, to get more information. Obtaining a permit generally requires filling out a short document and paying a nominal fee.
In instances where you need the roll-off container moved to a different location on your property after it had already been placed at a previous time, a "move fee" (similar to a trip fee) may be added to your bill. This fee varies but it's generally about the same cost as a trip charge. Expect to pay anywhere from $50 to $150 for a move fee.
This additional cost will apply in cases where the dumpster needs to be moved due to improperly placing the container in the public right-of-way (e.g., side of a city street) without properly obtaining a permit from the City. Remember, it's ultimately the customer's responsibility to meet all permitting requirements. Dumpster companies will oftentimes help customers in obtaining these permits or at least point you in the right direction.
Dumpster rental companies are usually not responsible for damage to customer's property, although they may be insured for such damage. As the customer, it's best to you inquire about this before you rent the dumpster and/or read the fine print on the rental agreement.
Some rental companies place boards beneath the dumpster to help prevent surface damage. Others will do so upon request – always ask!
TIP: If driveway or yard damage is a major concern, opt for a trailer-style dumpster that is on rubber wheels rather than a traditional style dumpster that rests on steel wheels/feet.
When the rental fee is based on the total weight of the load rather than a flat-rate fee.
If the weight of the load exceeds the weight allowance and overage charges are added to the bill.
Dumpster rental companies are not responsible for the additional weight resulting from rain or snow saturation. They have to pay extra dump fees at the landfill for the additional weight and thus, pass these costs onto the customer.
TIP: Place a tarp, plastic or sheet(s) of plywood over the dumpster during rain or snow storms to reduce the amount of moisture entering the dumpster and suturing the debris.
Renting a roll-off container isn't a difficult or confusing process, but be sure to follow the rental company's terms of service to avoid any hiccups along the way. The tips and information above is a general outline of common rental terms, but keep in mind that terms of service vary by service provider.

"When you get to this level, everyone is a good player and everyone is very versatile," McCoy said. "It's not just like a rec league. Everybody played in college and either has played overseas or wants to."
"It's a semi-pro league and women's basketball doesn't draw as much as men, but other than there being no dunks, it's a fast-paced, exciting game of basketball," Jones said.

Huntingdon Drama Club
Community Theatre since 1944
Tag: Backstage Tour
The RSC Big Backstage Weekend
During the weekend of 6th – 7th May, HDC sponsored me to attend the Big Backstage Weekend; an event organised and facilitated by the Royal Shakespeare Company to provide training to amateur theatre companies across the UK. Needless to say, I was extremely excited at the prospect of learning from such a reputable theatre company and the experience did not disappoint!
The weekend began in the Studio Theatre in The Other Place with a welcome meeting hosted by the RSC's Project Producer, Ian Wainwright. It was lovely to bump into some of our friends from Shakespeare at The George who were also in attendance for the weekend.
We stayed in the Studio Theatre for a sound workshop lead by the RSC's Head of Sound, Jeremy Dunn, who was ably assisted by technicians Nathan and James. For the first part of the workshop, Jeremy explained the various different types of sound equipment the RSC use in some detail; demonstrating how to assemble and use a basic sound system with a microphone. He also talked us through troubleshooting different sound issues we might face e.g. feedback. For the second part of the workshop, Jeremy and his technicians rigged up a sound desk and, using the sound system installed in the space, showed us how to operate the sound desk as well as use software package QLab on a laptop to create a soundscape.
After a delicious buffet lunch, we took a leisurely stroll down the road to the Clore Learning Centre for a set construction workshop led by freelance set designer Alex Marker. During his career, Alex has designed for a wide variety of West End, fringe, touring and regional productions. The first half of this workshop was an introduction to scale model making. A scale model can be an incredibly useful tool in set construction as it can be used to identify and solve potential problems before the set build commences. Alex talked us through the basic equipment and materials needed before challenging us to create a 1:50 scale model based on technical drawings. I partnered up with Julie, a fellow Drama teacher, from the Wirral and we set to work. Thankfully, Alex provided us with a few time-saving handy hints which we took on board and a short while later we successfully presented our scale model.
The second half of the workshop was dedicated to set construction. Alex talked us through the essential toolkit for building a set as well as the various health and safety considerations that have to be made when designing and constructing a set. After divulging some helpful money-saving ideas regarding the use of different materials, Alex introduced us to some tricks of the trade; demonstrating how to create a variety of paint effects and successfully create textured surfaces.
Following the set construction workshop, we had the opportunity to visit The Play's the Thing exhibition. For the exhibition, the RSC have opened their archive to display a variety of artefacts spanning one hundred years of theatre-making at Stratford-Upon-Avon. There were plenty of interactive activities to engage with but it was the costumes that really sparked my interest; particularly Vivien Leigh's costume from the 1955 production of Titus Andronicus and Anthony Sher's hat and nose from his portrayal of the Fool from the 1982 production of King Lear. However, my personal highlight of the whole exhibition has to be seeing a copy of Shakespeare's First Folio.
Then it was off in search of a bite to eat before attending the evening performance of Anthony and Cleopatra. The production forms part of the RSC's Rome Season which includes Julius Caesar, Titus Andronicus and Coriolanus to name but a few. The production was presented in traditional Roman dress and used some clever staging ideas; making effective use of hydraulic lifts to change scenes. The two leads, Josette Simon and Antony Byrne had a real chemistry on stage and gave engaging portrayals of their characters. It was interesting watching the performance having participated in the workshops earlier in the day; I definitely had a heightened awareness of the use of sound and was able to recognise and identify the different types of sound effects being used throughout.
After the performance, we popped over the road to The Black Swan – more commonly known as The Dirty Duck and a regular haunt of RSC actors – for a nightcap before retiring to our B&B and, sure enough, as we were leaving we bumped into the cast of that evening's performance enjoying a well-deserved drink.
We were privileged to be taken up to The Other Place rehearsal room for our stage management workshop which was led by Julia Wade, Company Stage Manager of the RSC's Mischief Festival. The room was being used to rehearse the productions taking part in the Mischief Festival and provided an interesting insight into the rehearsal process at the RSC. Julia explained the different types of roles and responsibilities involved in stage management as well as giving us a forum to discuss our own experiences of stage management. We were shown examples of the different types of paperwork produced by a stage manager e.g. rehearsal notes, show reports. We were given advice on how to mark up a script as well as the opportunity to look though the stage manager's copy of the Antony and Cleopatra script.
The final part of our stage management workshop was a behind-the-scenes tour of the Royal Shakespeare Theatre which took us into the control rooms of the lighting and sound operators so we could see what kind of environment they work in during a performance. We were also taken backstage to see the quick-change areas, prop store area and stage manager's desk. It was fascinating to wander around the back of the cyclorama that had been used during the previous evening's performance of Antony and Cleopatra and also see the props up close. Another highlight of the tour was discovering an RSC tradition: one of the corridors backstage was littered with illustrations and signatures of the actors involved in different productions.
For the final workshop of the weekend we were taken into the auditorium of the Royal Shakespeare Theatre – where we had sat the night before watching Antony and Cleopatra – for a lighting design workshop with the RSC's Head of Lighting, Vince Herbert and his talented technician Claire. On stage was a rug, armchair and table with a small lamp. We were given a very brief four scene synopsis to light as a collective which incorporated the opportunity to explore practical, character and surreal lighting states. As the ideas flowed, Vince explained – whilst Claire demonstrated – how to use different types of lights to achieve a variety of effects. Vince also demonstrated how to layer the lighting; focusing on practical lighting before establishing the mood. We were given some very useful tips: if an actor is entering the stage during a blackout they should close their eyes a few minutes before to adjust their eyes to the darkness and, when working with thrust staging in particular, find the 'sweet spot' where all of the audience can be addressed. Claire gave us an interesting insight into the complexities of follow spot operating; having recently performed the task for the RSC's innovative production of The Tempest which combined the use of a digital avatar with live actors.
Following the request of another attendee, Claire treated us to a tour underneath the stage of the Royal Shakespeare Theatre to Sub Level 1. Claire explained how the stage could be rearranged to meet the needs of different productions and also gave us a brief outline of the RSC's technical rehearsal process. We were also given an insight into how the RSC create the effect of flooding the stage with blood when Caesar is stabbed by Brutus: a crewmember on a stepladder with a pump and a bucket of fake blood; reassuring to know that not all of the methods in professional theatres are high-tech!
All in all, it was a thoroughly enjoyable and informative weekend. I'd like to take this opportunity to say a massive 'thank you' to HDC for enabling me to participate in the Big Backstage Weekend and I look forward to passing on what I have learnt to other club members as well as putting it into practice for future productions. Watch this space!

Our National Theatre's Good
What a day! The latest of the club's many social events proved to be arguably the best yet. Many thanks first of all to Josephine, our social secretary, for doing such a great job of organising the day – absolutely top notch. And thank you to our wonderful National Theatre for being the best place in the capital to enjoy a full day of theatre. Already a great venue, the NT's recent redevelopment has taken the place to another level.
Twenty of us in total took the train into London on Saturday morning, including many new faces joining us for the first time. We arrived on the South Bank around 11.15am & headed straight for coffee in the new ground floor cafe, Kitchen, before beginning our backstage tour. I cannot recommend the tour enough – this was my third time. The tour guides are excellent – informative & entertaining and because of the constantly changing shows within the theatres, the tour is always slightly different. Beginning in the impressive Olivier auditorium, based on the Ancient Greek theatre in Epidaurus, the NT is a breathtaking combination of theatrical ingenuity, technology, creativity and ground-breaking artistic production. The most impressive feature is arguably the drum revolve on the Olivier stage – rather than try to explain it, take a look at this video here. The Olivier holds an audience of 1100 people, all of whom have an unrestricted view of the stage, a design which also means that an actor on stage, standing in the position known as the 'point of command' can see every audience member in his peripheral vision, without moving his head.
View from the Sherling High Walkway
Another interesting addition to the tour is the Sherling High Walkway (above), where the public are offered a glimpse into the inner workings of the props department, set construction & paint shop, where plays are constructed on a truly industrial scale. On any given day here there can be up to a thousand people at work.
Dee, Josephine, Linda & Sue embarking on the backstage tour of the NT.
Emerging from our tour the theatre foyers were abuzz with activity & anticipation for the afternoon's matinee shows. We were booked in to see Timberlake Wertenbaker's "Our Country's Good" the story of a group of convicts shipped to the prison colony of Australia, who mount a production of Farquhar's "The Recruiting Officer". It's a very powerful play, made all the more emotional by Cerys Matthews' haunting original score. It's inspiring story of the transformative powers of theatre left more than one or two of us a little teary-eyed!
The NT production of Our Country's Good
The NT also houses several restaurants and so we decided to round off the day in the new Green Room, which as well as serving delicious food in a fun and vibrant atmosphere also houses recycled props & furniture from past productions. Suitably fed & watered we headed home inspired, entertained & eager to return to see more productions at this great national institution. Thank you NT!

WPI, my alma mater, now has a year round track and field coach. I pushed for that the last several years I was at college because I realized the importance of that contact. Running is a simple sport. Yet I had to learn many of the details on my own because access to a coach was limited. I had plenty of opportunity to ask questions, and I did, yet at 11 AM on a Wednesday when I thought of something, my coach would be at his job. I always envied the other sport players would go hang out with their coach between classes. There is a certain education and motivation that is derived from a coach. The more I understood my sport the better I became. The more I knew my coach the more I understood his methods, and the better I became.
More important than the facilities athletes have, it is about the people the athletes have. I remember distinctly one morning at about 8:30 AM I was working out in the morning, alone, and the basketball coach was working with one of the basketball players one on one in our dusty old practice gym. It was just the two of them, and I think that the basketball player was mostly just shooting free throws. It's not just about the shooting hoops, they were also talking about the most recent game. They were talking about ways to get better. They were probably talking about life in general as well.
First, there is the thought.
A coach can provide many athletes with the thoughts and the talking as well as a way to accomplish the doing. It seems simple, but without some direction most athletes at my former college, or at least runners, would never think of getting to nationals. They wouldn't even realize that nationals exists until their third year running with us and if you haven't made the commitment to work hard to get there by that point you will probably not go. Now with a coach around all the time I am hoping that that seed of greatness will be planted early in their career. Instead of first and second year student athletes dwelling on their suffering compared to high school they might be thinking of goals, and what it takes to get there.
For example, take two runners. Both raced about the same in high school and ran about 40 miles per week. Now it takes a whole lot more than mileage (workouts, injury resistance, mentality, attitude, etc.) to make a good runner but for the sake of simplicity that's all I'm going to talk about. Both runners get to college and their first week they each run 50 miles. Runner A immediately gets stressed out because classes are hard, the running is hard, he is away from his old friends and family, he used to be one of the best on the team now he is not even in the top ten on his new team, and he really only sees the older runners when they run a workout and they are so much faster. Runner B on the other hand is talked to by the coach as soon as he gets to college. The coach tells him to relax and be patient. He says it takes several years to develop as a runner so he comforts the young runner through lackluster workouts and even races compared to what the runner did in high school. The coach continually reminds the runner to be patient and just keep showing up every day. The coach schedules a meeting with Runner B so that they can just talk. Sort of a counseling session where the runner talks not only about running but also about missing his old friends and the classes which are harder than he expected. Runner B leaves feeling refreshed and more comfortable on the team.
The next year Runner A struggles again having never really even done the freshman workload. He skips practice from time to time and runs the same times in workouts and races that he did as a freshman. He still has trouble maintaining 50 miles per week. Runner B upped his mileage during the summer to 65 miles a week and when he gets back to school in the fall is now possibly looking at a spot on varsity (top seven runners on a cross country team). The trend continues and by their fourth year Runner A is running faster than he ever has because he adjusted to college finally. He places well in some smaller races. Runner B has developed every year, despite missing some time running due to injuries because he didn't listen to the coach all the time. He is trying to qualify for nationals and coming pretty close.
It also self perpetuates. A coach who develops some mediocre athletes into good athletes will be recognized by high school recruits. Then several good athletes will come to the program and develop into national champion caliber athletes. Good athletes will continue to come because they see the national champions on the team and want to be that good themselves.
The point is, I have seen my team, my friends, take a number of steps both forward and backward over the last half of a decade and this is by far the biggest step forward in recent history. I am very excited to hear how the school year goes.
First off, good luck on your interview! I completely agree with your assessment of the necessity of a full-time track coach. I also think the man they chose is the man for the job.


stickboybike: Getting the most out of your SRAM GXP bottom bracket.
This maintenance session is geared towards the SRAM GXP external bearing bottom bracket. I've been running the GXP bottom brackets since 2011 and have been really impressed by the ease of installation, and smoothness of the bearings after a few dozen rides after first installation.
Bottom brackets seem to be on the love/hate list of items that cyclist have to deal with during their lifetime in sport. The 'bb' remains out of sight, out of mind until their first warm weather ride and halfway up a climb, the clicking starts, typically at the 2 o'clock position in their crank stroke. You can either endure the noise or take it to your LBS and have them deal with it which could set you back $65 for a new BB and almost that much in labor.
At the end of the 2011 cyclocross season, I did my final bucket cleaning of the bike and then hung it up until the end of the winter. Around March 2012, I pulled the group off the Cavaria, minus the compact cx geared crank and swapped the parts onto the Oltre. The cx crank and GXP bb remained installed in the frame until I pulled the parts off the Oltre in September and got the Cavaria ready for the 2012 cx season.
By the time October was upon us, I noticed a grinding/clicking sound from the right crank arm as I came over the top of the pedal stroke. Cringing for the rest of the ride, I was reminded of my failure to service the bottom bracket at the end of 'cross season 2011. Later that week, I pulled the bb off the bike, popped the seal ring and the bearings resembled a greasy, rusty cocktail, surely exposing my lack of maintenance for this simple bike part. Luckily I had a backup SRAM GXP bottom bracket in the toolbox and was up and running by the next ride.
Hopefully this entry will speak to the at-home mechanic in all of us and get you thinking every fall... lemme pull the bottom bracket and service the bearings. We pick up the service work after the crank and bottom bracket have been already removed from the bicycle.
Use a small flathead screwdriver to gently pry up the clip that holds down the gutter seal ring.
With a box cutter blade, creep in with the tip pointed towards the outside of the bearing, gently push the back, down and then towards the center/ inside diameter and lift up on the gutter seal ring.
[I'll back pedal and mention that prior to removing the clip in the first step, I had a slight click from the bottom bracket coming from the drive side bearing.] With a Q-Tip, I'll take a few passes over the bearings to remove any scummy grease that may be lurking in the race. Surprisingly these bearings look a whole lot better than the ones I pulled apart (noise due to neglect) October 2012.
If you have an air compressor you can blast some of the grit out of the cups. Saturate the bearing cups with WD-40. Then, with the bearing cup on a rag, in your hand, blast out any grime with the compressed air. Just be sure to use the rag to catch the stuff that blows out the back of the cup. You may have to repeat this a couple of times to remove the dirt particles that are hidden in the race. It would be nice to have a machined aluminum jig to hold the bearing cup and inject new grease into the bearing.
Using Park Tool grease, I dip the Q-Tip and apply the waterproof grease accordingly. Here, I'm working on applying a nice even layer across the top of the bearings as you'll see in the photo below.
It's not pretty, that's what shop rags are for. I twist the greased Q-Tip between my fingers as to push the grease into the race as much as possible.
This is a photo of the back/ bottom surface of the SRAM GXP Gutter Seal ring. The track that is around the circumference of the ring acts like a retention trough for the grease; so don't be afraid to slather an ample amount of grease on the bearings before putting this guy back into place.
With the gutter seal ring in place, I carefully use a flat blade screwdriver to press the edge of the ring into place. Do this around the entire ring, you should notice it 'snapping' into place. Not so much making a snapping sound but by feel with your tool, will notice it confidently locating down into the bearing cup. NOTE: The tip of the tool is below the gutter seal lip. Be sure to not press the lip. Damage to this lip will reduce the sealing ring ability to keep out water and dirt during use.
The gutter seal is in place, the clip is snapped back into the cup's groove and I've wiped off most the excess grease.
Final step, the non-drive side dust cover gets a layer of Phil's Tenacious Lube upon assembly.
Install the bottom bracket and crank assembly according to factory procedures and tightening specifications and then go put on some miles!


I'm new to the forum and very new to creating a fish friendly home.
I'm cycling 2 separate tanks, 5 gallon capacity, 3.34 gals with displacement considered.
the kids each want beta type fish.
I'm dosing pure Dr Tim's ammonia, and started on Sun Feb 10th.
I created a spreadsheet / graphing way to capture the results.
I tried to upload the .png but the site didn't seem to like it.
I had multiple instance of a stalled cycle in both tanks, but at different times in the process.
I did a water change of roughly 80% in both tanks to get the cycle going again, Tank A as of today is measuring .50/5.0/20 (am,ni,na) and then added ammonia to bring levels back up to roughly 1.5-2.0.
the question is, should I be dosing to bring ammonia up higher than that, or do you feel that is sufficient?
it seems 2 drops of Dr Tim's equates to roughly a .5 increase in ammonia levels.
thank you in advance and for having a great resource here for beginners.
I've got 5.0 nitrites in both, so my guess is, it's just a matter of time and testing to keep things moving.
once this project is a success we plan to start a 25 gal, ( 95L ) tank.
given the point in the process I am at, how long does the remaining part of the cycle take? 2-3 more weeks? estimated of course.
Once ammonia is going down to 0 in 24 hours it usually takes another 2-3 weeks for nitrite to do the same.
Hey Thank you, I appreciate all the help!
will keep my fingers crossed!

We must follow the admission arrangements managed by Leicestershire Authority Parents are asked to fill in a Leicestershire admission form which is online or collect a form from our school office. All admissions must go through Leicestershire County Council to be given a place for a child here or at any other school. As well as this we need the child's details on our own white form. Details will be kept on our school computer database but will only be used under the terms of our registration under the Data Protection Act, in connection with the education and welfare of your child.
If the school becomes over-subscribed, the order of priority in allocating places is as follows:
1st Pupils who have a Statement of Special Educational Need or children who are in public care.
2nd Pupils who live in the catchment area.
3rd Pupils who will have an older brother or sister attending the same school at the same time.
4th Pupils who have a serious medical condition or exceptional social or domestic needs.
5th Pupils who live nearest to the school.
School Admission 2018 Onwards: Capped Admission Number
1.1 At the point of first-time admission, if there are more requests for in catchment children than the admission number (AN), the AN will not usually be exceeded, except in exceptional circumstances (see point 2.8).
Exceeding the Admission Number (AN)
2.1 If there are more requests for places than available within the AN, places will be allocated up to the AN in accordance with the priority criteria. All other outstanding requests will be refused subject to the provisions relating to exceptional circumstances (see point 2.8).
2.2 For applications made outside of the normal admissions round (e.g. mid-term applications) where the AN has been reached, applications will be refused, subject to point 2.8.
2.3 In certain exceptional circumstances the Trust may determine that the AN can be exceeded or varied, whether on its own initiative or at the request of the Headteacher. In such circumstances:
a) Parents submit their application in the usual
b) Where the school wishes to exceed it is admission number to accommodate exceptional circumstances the Trust will inform the Admissions
2.4 Where the decision to exceed or vary the AN is made before or during the allocation of places, applications will be processed in the usual manner, with on-time applications being considered first, in line with the priority criteria at paragraph (see
6.1) and late applications being considered thereafter, if there are still places available after the initial allocation.
2.5 Where the decision to exceed or vary the AN is made after the allocation of places, any additional places that become available will be allocated in accordance with the waiting list. Discretion to exceed the AN shall rest solely with DSAT.
2.7 In reaching any decision to exceed the AN, DSAT will consider the views of interested parties; the school's Advisory Board, the impact on the education of children in the school and discuss with the Local Authority the availability of school places within the locality.
2.8 For the purpose of this section, exceptional circumstances may include but are not limited to:
a) the admission of children residing within the catchment area and the availability of places in the wider locality;
b) the admission of children who would have siblings in the

I have sold a property at 32 997 Chilcotin Hwy in Williams Lake.
Beautifully kept 1995 14x67 mobile home with updated flooring and colour. Master bedroom has large soaker tub in ensuite plus walk-in closet. Private floor plan with spare bedroom facing street. 8x10 sundeck. 8x10 utility shed. Very competitively priced.


Crate and Barrel's newest addition is a shop-in-shop at their SoHo location featuring products by Finnish textile and design house Marimekko. While they have been partners since the 1960's, their product offerings have expanded and are conveniently located in one spot. At the shop's opening last week, people were ogling at the brightly colored textiles, and snapping up tumblers, tea pots, bedding, and more.
Crate and Barrel founders Carole and Gordon Segal discovered Marimekko on a 1960's trip to Copenhagen. "From Crate and Barrel's earliest days in the 60s, Marimekko has been a vital and vibrant presence in our stores and in our lives," says CEO Barbara Turf.

EXCLUSIVE: Jackie Christie Not Fearful of Being Fired From Basketball Wives: Shaunie O'Neal Is Not My Boss + If She's Prepping A Spin-Off [INTERVIEW]
August 21, 2017	by Kellie Williams	in Celebrity Interviews, Latest News	with 19 Comments
Jackie Christie
Jackie Christie Talks Estranged Daughter, Spin-Off Rumors & Job Security
Season six of Basketball Wives L.A. has been one hell of a season for Jackie Christie. Although you might assume this was Christie's toughest season – she insinuates this season was nothing short of easy. If you watched this season, then chances are you witnessed Christie attempt to dispel rumors of her parenting skills. You may have also witness a few verbal altercations including an ongoing feud with Evelyn Lozada, along with the outspoken reality star to her question and confronting her friendship with executive producer, Shaunie O'Neal. In an exclusive interview with theJasmineBRAND.com, along with the status of the relationship with her daughter Ta'Kari Lee, why she's not concerned about being fired from the show and if she feels like she's accurately portrayed. Check out the excerpts below.
Current Basketball Wives cast
How Basketball Wives has changed over the years:
For the first five seasons, a lot of the stuff was focused on me. It seemed I was on the outs with everybody. And then season five came in I started feeling like everybody's grooving.
If this season has been the most difficult:
I think season one was the most challenging for me. It was five or six girls in Hawaii, they were fine when we got over and then they turned behind me and they were walking down the hallway behind Draya. They would clique up. That's when I realized its not a game. We at war.
Tami, Jackie circa 2015
Her friendship with Tami Roman:
I feel like me and Tami have always had a great relationship. We have our words here and there, but there is a realness, respect, and love between the two of us. I really dig her. And I think this season [six] you see it really went to another love; with Tami and I.
Draya, Malaysia, Jackie, Brooke Bailey circa 2013
Her friendship with Malaysia Pargo:
[I've] been knowing her for a very long time. Me and Malyasia have been here in L.A. – first season to now. We've been through some challenging times, but if you notice, we never crossed that line with each other.
Shaunie O'Neal
Why she questioned her friendship with Shaunie O'Neal:
I felt like through the season we had been through so many ups and downs. and I kept trying to explain to her, 'What's going on between me and Evelyn is me and Evelyn, its not with you. Just fallback. Stay out of it.' We had had a conversation, and I explained to her to stay out of it and there again, I find your back in it again.
If she's concerned about job security (i.e. being axed from the show) when for confronting Shaunie, who is an executive producer:
No. I'm not apprehensive. I'm not employed by Shaunie. Shaunie is not my boss. Shaunie is a cast member; a friend. And I don't care who you are, if you're disrespectful to me, I'm going to be Jackie Christie.
Jackie Christie, Takari Lee
How she feels about daughter Ta'Kari Lee:
You know, I prayed on it for a long time and I kept saying, at the end of the day, I love her – no matter what. A mother's love for her child never changes. No matter what their child does to them. I have been nothing, but exemplary for Kari. Never spanked her, none of that stuff.
Whatever she is doing with this group of people that she is working with – or cult – its hurtful to me. I just decided to let the world keep being tricked and fooled.
If she and Takari are on speaking terms:
I don't know why people are painting this facade. Yes, we have. And we always will.
Who may be responsible for drama with her daughter:
This has happened before. It's been going on six years. And this woman that's pretending to be Kari's manager is this cause of all this damage.
If she thinks old cast members should come return:
You know, I'd laugh. If you're going to bring back other cast members from other shows – or this show – bring everybody! This show, like I said, 'is my baby.' So, we'll see where it goes.
If she would come back to Basketball Wives LA:
Uh, that's a trick question. Just tune in to the reunion, and yeah.
If she's working on a spin-off:
You know, I have been on for this spinoff for years and I kept turning it down because I was already on Basketball Wives, I don't want to spread myself too thin. And make sure our viewers who are loyal to us, who watch every season that I'm not doing all this [spreading herself too thin]. But I think its time to diversify for me. I have a lot to offer and a lot to share. I'm working on several different projects.
The biggest misconceptions about her:
She's a troublemaker, she's dishonest, I'm a drunk. And the super mega misconception is that I'm mentally unstable.
If she is accurately portrayed on the show:
I feel like I'm a hell of a entertainer. I feel like I'm very transparent. I'm raw and uncut.
If she ever has been drunk in her life:
I have never been drunk in my life. Never! Never!
Upcoming projects:
Oh my God! I have plays coming up. I have Before You Say I Do in October. I have a movie coming out. I have another play with Shelly Garrett – Beauty Shop. Of course, if in the event we make our decision on season 7 [Basketball Wives], we will be back.

Michael Jordan and the Art of Letting Go
Coach Phil Jackson was nervous. That much was obvious from the way he paced the floor, hands in his pockets. It was game five of the 1998 NBA Finals, but the Chicago Bulls weren't playing like champions and Jackson was getting damned tired of it. The whole team was stiff and most importantly, their star player, Michael Jordan, was having a bad night (he only made 9 out of 26 shots). For basketball fans, this is nothing new. They know that the game is very "streaky," which means that past performance greatly affects future performance (even though in theory every possession and every game stands on its own). And Jordan was in a really bad rut. Jackson needed to find a way to turn him around. Jackson had known that part of Jordan's problem was that he was very gifted physically, which meant that, at times, he could take short cuts on strategy. Jackson realized that on this night, Michael Jordan was taking a lot of crappy shots. It was like he was trying to win the game through force of will alone (something he had done previously many times), but this time it wasn't working. They lost the game.
Phil Jackson knew that he needed to help his superstar get back on track and it seemed like the harder Jordan tried to make shots, the worse things got. How was he going to turn things around? He couldn't actually do anything to make the ball go into the basket…..then coach Jackson had a brainwave. He knew that the game of basketball is about percentages. Despite all of the highlight footage and the dramatic and amazing plays, basketball essentially come down to maximizing your CHANCES. That doesn't mean that it always goes your way. Like Vegas, the casino will let you win some money, but the odds are always in their favor. The problem with Jordan during game five wasn't that he was MISSING shots, it was that he was TAKING bad ones to begin with. The key to getting back into the flow of the game was to focus on getting good shots (i.e. open jump shots, easy layups, etc.) whether or not those shots actually went into the basket. Jackson needed to remind Jordan to focus on good shot selection rather than on making baskets. Jordan can score points on really bad even impossible shots and it had gotten him into trouble. He had turned a game of skill into a game of chance.
The next night was game 6 and Jackson and Jordan were prepared. They understood the difference between what they could control (the types of shots to take) and what they couldn't control (whether or not the ball actually went through the basket). As a result, Jordan was more relaxed and more fluid, but no less determined. The Bulls were going to run their offense the way it should be run. If the basketball didn't cooperate then there was nothing they could do about that. Jordan stepped out onto the court with the same swagger he had throughout the season. He remembered what he had known all along – don't let the bad shots get you down. Every play is a chance to start again. Focus on the things you can control and let go of the things you can't. Play loose. Play free. Play aggressive. Let the game come to you.
In the end, Jordan still missed over half of his shots (57% missed), but he and the team were much more selective. They had put themselves in the position to win which was really all that they could hope for. The final moments of that game, for those who don't know, have become labeled one of the greatest performances in NBA history (Jordan making a steal with 16 seconds left and then making a shot to win the game), but there is a more humble story behind that iconic shot. Two men…Coach Phil Jackson and player Michael Jordan…learning to let go.

Anybody having any luck with the K3000 and setting an ActiveSync Profile to populate email settings on an iOS device? I can push the profile, but it does not allow for domain, username or password entry and simply shows grayed out default text info. Definitely not working as designed.
Support should be able to help you with this. Please submit a trouble ticket.
I was also able to make this work directly from the appliance. If I remember well it worked without issues. Are you using a testing account for this? Does the testing account have a mailbox? This is the only issue I had, I had enrolled the devices with an account which didn't have a mailbox, but again, the problem was that I couldn't push the profile.
Let us know about the solution.

Q: Indy. Error posting String with % I am using Indy 9.00.10 under Delphi 7.
I use TIdMultiPartFormDataStream to post some data using TIdHTTP. When I try to post some param with a text value including % in it, for instance '100% brand' it raises "No Argument for format %".
It seems to me that it is calling some format function to the value I am trying to post and it expects every % to be a placeholder, wich is not my case.
Is this a known issue? Is there a workaround for it?

A: You are using a very old version of Indy.  The last release of Indy 9 was 9.0.50, which is available in Indy's SVN.  This issue was fixed in 9.0.13.
If you do not want to upgrade, then a workaround is to double up any '%' characters in your field data so they get formatted as a single '%' character, eg:
Stream.AddFormField('FieldName', StringReplace(FieldValue, '%', '%%', [rfReplaceAll]));

Stroll through Historic Muncy Homes
September 19, 2013 February 17, 2014 muncyhistoricalsociety
St. James Episcopal Church
Experience the beauty and charm of one of Pennsylvania's finest communities as the Muncy Historical Society hosts its annual Historic Homes and Walking Tour from noon to 4 p.m. Sunday, October 20. The $12 tour donation includes admission to showcase properties, a descriptive brochure, special exhibits, shopping opportunities, interaction with living history performers, trolley rides and refreshments.
Society Executive Director William Poulton invites everyone to experience the nostalgia of Muncy when the society offers its guests a different happening annually, and on October 20, guests will experience a combination of unique properties, special one-day only exhibits, and personal engagements. Poulton is particularly excited to announce that a replica of the custom coffin in which President Lincoln is buried will be on display and Mary Todd Lincoln will be available to comment on her first lady experiences and to answer questions.
One stop, and the event ticket center, for the Homes and Walking Tour is the Muncy Historical Society, housed in one of Muncy's earliest frame homes. The two and one-half story, seven-bay frame building represents the Greek revival style. Muncy's artistic heritage is readily apparent at this stop where the creative geniuses of more than 50 local past and contemporary artists' works are on display. The museum's collection includes a wide range of original art and exemplary craftsmanship, including photography, oil paintings, jewelry, pottery, woodworking, quilting, mosaics, watercolor, sculpture, and home décor. The Civil War theme continues with this year's special exhibits at the 40 N. Main Street location. In the Society's meeting room, the movie "Lincoln" will be aired and a collection of mourning attire will be on display.
The properties are always interesting since the Society features homes representing a variety of architectural styles, from Colonial to Federal to Victorian eclectic. The St. James Episcopal Church, a masterpiece of Gothic Revival style, will be this year's featured church; parishers will be grilling hot dogs in the garden area and Mary Todd Lincoln will be discussing her life experiences from the sanctuary at 4:15 p.m. The trolley will be making its way up and down Muncy's main street during the event hours and the on-board guide will regale passengers with pertinent facts about Muncy's artistic and historical heritage. There will be a number of stops, clearly marked, so that passengers can embark and disembark conveniently near all of the tour locations.
Ticket holders may park in one of the centrally located designated areas and most of the Muncy properties are within easy walking distance.
Advance tickets, at the discounted price of $10 for the Historic Homes and Walking Tour, may be purchased from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., October 11, 14 and 18, or by mail at P.O. Box 11, Muncy, PA 17756. Tickets the day of the tour are $12 and may be purchased at the Muncy Historical Society.
More information is available by calling the Muncy Historical Society at 546-5917. On the Internet at http://www.MuncyHistoricalSociety.org.
Abraham Lincoln's Replica Coffin
Replica of custom coffin used to show President Lincoln brings history to Muncy
A replica of the coffin in which president Abraham Lincoln is buried will be on display in Muncy during its annual Homes Tour on October 20, noon to 4 p.m.
It is one of five replicas made 10 years ago by the Batesville Casket Company of Indiana. The coffin was built on the only known surviving 1865 photograph of the one in which President Lincoln is shown lying in state.
Four of the five coffin replicas travel the nation for display at funeral homes and the fifth remains as part of the permanent collection at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum in Springfield, Illinois.
President Lincoln's coffin was the most elaborate of that time. His coffin was constructed of solid walnut, lined with lead and completely covered in expensive black cloth. It was 6 feet, 6 inches long and was decorated with sterling silver handles and sterling silver studs extending the entire length of its sides. Though the coffin appears austere compared to modern caskets, the original was custom made for the president and featured a removable two-part top and a lead lining. The replica does not contain lead. The distinction between a coffin and a casket is that a coffin has six sides (diamond shaped) and a casket has four sides.
It is estimated that one million people viewed President Lincoln's body from the time of his death until his burial in Springfield, Illinois. His coffin was the most elaborate of that time. President Lincoln also had the distinction of having the largest funeral throughout the world, until President John F. Kennedy's death in 1963.
It could be said that Abraham Lincoln's death triggered the beginning of modern day funeral service. President Lincoln was the first public figure to be embalmed and put on view for almost three weeks. The embalming technique used on President Lincoln was primarily used on soldiers who died during the Civil War and needed to be transported home for burial. Being able to view the body for extended periods of time without being iced was the precursor for modern day funeral service. People at that time thought embalming was a barbaric violation of the body, but Lincoln's funeral had changed that perception. President Lincoln's public viewing introduced the population to the benefits of embalming. Mourners were able to see the late president for twenty days and embalming made it possible.
The coffin played prominently in a plot by thieves to steal the president's body. In 1876, when a counterfeiting ring's top engraver was imprisoned, his gang decided to break into the tomb and steal the body. They planned to hold Lincoln for a ransom of $200,000 in gold and the freedom of the engraver. As the coffin was being removed from the tomb, the plot was foiled when lawmen made their move.
In 1900, President Lincoln's son, Robert, was afraid that more attempts to steal the President's body would be made. He decided that the new burial chamber was inadequate and plans were made to permanently protect the President from any future attempts to enter the grave. It was during this time of construction that the coffin of President Lincoln was opened. A select few had the opportunity to view the body of President Lincoln one last time. The reasoning for this was to ensure that previous attempts to steal the body of the President were not successful. It was determined that the body in the coffin was indeed that of the President. His appearance had not changed much since that of his original burial in 1865.
On September 26, 1901, President Lincoln was then permanently buried. The coffin was placed in a cage 10 feet deep and encased in 4,000 pounds of concrete. At last, President Lincoln was at rest.
The replica of Lincoln's coffin will be just one of the stops as part of the Muncy Historic Homes Tour event on October 20, from noon to 4 p.m.
Pat Jordan Returns to Muncy as Mary Todd Lincoln
The Muncy Historical launched its Civil War commemorative activities in 2011by enlisting the help of Pat Jordan who presented two one-woman plays – one on the life of Clara Barton and the other on the life of Louisa May Alcott. Alcott was an avid women's rights advocate and the sole support of her family for years while Barton is renowned for establishing the first chapter of the American Red Cross, bringing disaster relief to countless thousands throughout the nation and abroad. Jordan's interest in history has led her to portray Martha Washington, Betsy Ross, and Amelia Earhart among others.
Jordan, a professional singer-actor, published writer and director, has appeared in scores of productions at the Philadelphia Academy of Music and New York's Cooper's Union, Walnut Street Studio Stages, the 42nd Street Theatre and the Cluman Theatre in New York. Jordan is in demand as a private teacher of stage performance as well as on-camera acting and musical theater. She also is an Artist-in-Education drama instructor, stage director, and program director of the Chester Theatre Arts Outreach Program, a foundation-sponsored youth initiative celebrating its 10th year. She studied at H-B Studio with Herbert Berghoff and Hal Holden and the Juilliard Opera Workshop. Pat holds a BA (cum laude) in Theatre and Communication Arts from Villanova University as well as advanced study in acting, directing and playwriting.
Earlier this year, she had the opportunity to portray Mary Todd Lincoln at the National Portrait Gallery's Inaugural Weekend Celebration in Washington, D.C. and in this return trip to Muncy Jordan will "meet and greet" Historic Homes Tour ticketholders from noon to 3:45 p.m. as this same personality. The "meet and greet" opportunity is available to ticketholders only.
After a short break, Jordan will make her way to the St. James Episcopal Church sanctuary, one of the stops featured on this year's annual historic tour. Beginning at 4:15 p.m. Jordan, as Mary Todd Lincoln, will cover the character's life from childhood to just before the assassination of President Lincoln. During the questions and answer portion, Jordan will "step out of character" when she will talk about what happened between the president's death and the arrival in Illinois. This public performance is open to the general public and there will be a $5 admission fee for anyone not displaying a Homes Tour wristband.

Have any one the same problem?
I havent heard for problems with games in pkr due to disconnections.
All the problems players have are cause of the software that is too heavy.
Can your computer handle their platform?
Maybe its a problem from your side.
thx all for the tipps.
I deinstalled the software and installed new...now works fine!
also with PKR, if your having problems with regular PKR, you can change over to PKR lite.
thats the one i play, cause this comp is very old and has issuses with their software.
Poker girl..... The advice from Crash is very sound advice. I rely solely on PKR Lute as my system just does not like the full PKR. In terms of player experience I don't think there is much in it. Give it a go and see what you think. Have fun at the tables.
i always scratch my head wondering why oh why pkr management try to get their clients into so much trouble when all they want to do is to pass over their hard earned cash over to pkr in the form of rake... why one has to go through water and fire and bullsh1t falling from the sky when one only wants to empty their wallet?
I have had similar problems in the past at PKR but it is usually when I am also playing at other sites and my computer starts to overheat,a shame as I quite like some of the games there.I have been there for a while but I think most players don't really care for all the avatar rubbish etc.
compensation for the tournaments you were in.
In the mean time, till you figure out what is going on, stop playing tournaments.
I have already contacted the support and we are working on the problem .
there have occurred some oddities. they working on it .
the support is very friendly and helpful , I am very satisfied .
I hope the issue can be resolved soon .
I bet they will honor your wish somehow, since they are so helpful as you say.


Individual redbud blooms resemble sweet pea flowers.
2 Do I Need to Trim a Redbud?
3 What Time of the Year Should the Dead Branches on a Redbud Tree Be Pruned?
Despite its name, the Eastern redbud tree (Cercis canadensis) grows well throughout the United States, from U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 4 through 9 and anywhere summer temperatures aren't extreme. The tree heralds spring with pink to red blossoms, clustered against its twigs, branches and trunk, outlining the tree in bloom as soon as temperatures begin to warm in early spring. Because the tree blooms on last season's growth, the best time to prune a mature Eastern redbud tree is in early spring, after blooms fade and before it sets bud for next year.
Eastern redbuds grow in partial shade to full sun, responding best to light shade where summers are hot. The trees thrive in moist, rich soil but are adaptable to most soil types, including those that are sandy or alkaline. After flowering, the trees produce heart-shaped leaves that can start out purple in some cultivars, but are usually green with yellow fall color. Eastern redbuds reach 20 to 30 feet tall with vase-shaped canopies and a tendency to grow as a multitrunk tree.
Pruning can help young redbuds take the form that works best for your landscape. Train newly planted redbud trees by pruning them in their first winter. While this sacrifices some first-year blooms, it encourages the plant to put its energy into growth and encourages a fuller plant. In subsequent years, prune after flowers fade. Removing any shoots coming up from the ground as well as laterals growing low on the tree results in a single-trunk specimen. Cutting the central stem back to just above several well-spaced shoots, produces full growth that will have plenty of blooms in subsequent years. For a multitrunked plant with a shrublike habit, redbuds shoots can be cut back low to the ground, though growth with a narrow, V-shaped fork can weaken the tree and should be removed as it develops.
As redbuds mature, single-trunk varieties need maintenance pruning to keep the base of the tree free from suckers and the trunk clear of shoots that emerge low on the trunk. Branches that are crossing, growing in the wrong direction or that make the interior of the tree too crowded should be removed. Most Eastern redbud trees don't live more than 30 years, but proper pruning can help extend the tree's life. Pruning lateral branches so they are spaced six to 10 inches apart off the main trunk, leaving only those with strong U-shaped crotches and removing them as they approach half the diameter of the main trunk, decreases the potential that this brittle tree will split and die.
Aside from its tendency for weak wood, Eastern redbuds are also susceptible to canker, a fungal disease that can cause entire limbs to die back if it is not controlled through pruning. Cankers, the biggest problem with the tree notes the U.S. Forest Service, start out as small, sunken spots that darken and increase in size, encircling the branch, causing all growth above the canker to die. Pruning away the branch several inches below the canker is the only treatment and can prevent the spread of the fungus. When pruning diseased wood, sterilize your pruning tools between each cut with rubbing alcohol or household antiseptic cleaner. Diseased or broken branches should be pruned as soon as you notice them, whatever the season.
