Hello there,
Im looking at laying ready made decking tiles over my patio slabs. As ive never laid decking before i was wondering if anyone out there might be able to give me a short step by step guide as to how i may best do this.
The tiles i have are not inter locking, my main concern is how to ensure they are laid securely, my patio slabs are securely down.
Is it possible to lay them without taking any slabs up?
How do i ensure they all fit securely?
Is it possible to secure them direct to the concrete slabs?
Any help or advice would be much appreciated and i send my thanks in advance.
I just wanted to warm anyone who even bothered to check out the websites and awed at jaw dropping prices, DONT BOTHER!!!! Its a scam! I have indeed bought 2 bathing suits that arrived securely. However I was looking to buy mac eyeshadow palettes that was supposed to be $8! Sounded amazing till i asked about shipping prices. They claimed the total would be $65! I dont know about you and i know china is not right next door but $65 for a pallet at less than a pound is completly out of hand! They claimed shipping is high because EMS charges by gram however when i asked to add a tiny mascara the total was $145. Now thats ridiculous. The mascara weighs 10 times less but cost more. And they try to convince you that you’re saving money on shipping prices. One time they never even gave me what I ordered a month passed by and the guy was all nice until i gave him my payment then he deleted his account and i never heard of him again! Im working with the bank thats having a hard time tracing this guy. Alibaba has a few genuine sellers but a bunch of scammers as well. They robbed my friend $1000 for a Flatscreen and clothing. Instead they never sent it and the guy deleted his account as well! TOTAL SCAMMERS! Shipping from China is not that expensive either no offense to asians but most Chinese companys I been running into are completly scamming everyone I know. Please try ordering from withing the US it is so much more secure, easier to contact sellers, and shipping prices are way less. Seriously for anyone considering a purchase from either websites really turn the other way. If you insist on still going through with it look at the red flags!!!!
1. The prices are ridiculously unicredibly low. I mean $0.99 for a Fendi bag please!
2. The shipping costs are ridiculous. Anything weighing less than a pound and costing more than $15 RED FLAG
3.CHINESE SELLERS!!!!
4. They avoid direct questions. They switch topics or what they tell you makes no sence and is poorly worded as if there are no grammer skills.
5.Read the posts that other put on their pages although they usually delete the bad ones there are usually a few missed from buyers wondering why they still havent received their items
6.They all have the same exact pictures with other sellers of the same exact items. For example 5 differen sellers with different names but they all sell that pair of pants on the exact yellow table in the back ground with a green cucumber be for real
7. They claim that theyre businesses and have other sites but however they are on at times that chinese businesses are closed like 1 am.
8. There are chinese letters all over pictures of their products, several chinese lettering on their page, and they have an asian screename but claim to be from within the US.
Hopes this helps all those that thought it was too good to be true. Dont get me wrong there are some genuine sellers. But ask many questions before purchases. Ask about their policies, returns, how they determine the shipping costs. Look for anything fishy or that tells u thats just not right.If you still insist on the purchase heres one more tip make ur purchase through paypal if they cant always stop it, at least when you file a fraud claim. They will be in charge of returning your money in full instead of having to locate some unknown stranger!
sura 2:122 ”o” children of isreal! call to mind the special favor which i bestowed upon you and that i preferred you to all other nations;;; sura 5:70 we [allah] made a convent with the isrealites and sent forth apostles among them;sura 57:26 ”we sent forth noah and abraham and bestowed on their offspring [ the children of isreal] prophet-hood and scriptures [ the torah] :: sura 3:84 we believe in allah, and what has been revealed to us and what was revealed to abraham, ismail, isaac, jacob and the tribes of isreal, and in the books given to moses, jesus and the prophets, from their lord. we make no distinction between one and another among them. sura 17:104 ”and thereafter allah said to the children of isreal: dwell securely in the promised land [isreal] and when the last warning comes to past we will gather you togather in a mingled crowd. sura 4:136 ”o” ye who believe. ” believe in allah and his apostle, and the scripture which he sent to those before him. any who denieth allah, his angels, his books, his apostles, and the day of judgement hath gone far astray. we all know there is no contradictions in the quran. so why does allah prefer the jews over the muslims and gave them their promised land of isreal?
ilm, how did you get so brainwashed?
jews were known as the children of isreal until the 13 century.
jews are not a different race. that has to be the most stupid thing i have ever heard of.
so please! tell us how a god that knows the present past and future didn’t know this?
1)You are the director of a top secret government espionage agency. Every month you securely transmit a new set of one time pad values to each of the spies you have placed in various countries. Each of these values is used to encrypt a single message back to headquarters and then destroyed. You realize that last month the same pad was accidentally sent to every spy. Does this ruin the security of your system? Under what circumstances? What if one spy received the same pad two months in a row instead? Explain your answers. [Note: “pad” is the “key”]
2)A 3 bit long message was encrypted using one-time pad to yield a cipher-text “110” Assuming the message space consists of all 3 bit long messages, what is the probability that the corresponding plain-text was “101”? Explain your answer.
So i found a great deal on a pair of cleats on craigslist. The guy lives in baltimore and i’m in new jersey so a local transaction cannot be done. I sort of trust the seller but i still wanna be very cautious in how i give him money for the cleats. What can i do to pay him safely and securely and assure that he sends me the cleats?

Please be advised to never listen to the advice of this post office and send your package securely with a tracking number and/or insurance. This post office has pressured me into submitting a package without fully understanding or securing it’s delivery. Of course, the package didn’t make it’s destination.
I looked up the customs form # on their site: http://www.usps.com/shipping/trackandconfirm.htm
I was getting a result about a package sent to Alaska on another date. I shipped an international package from New Jersey.
I called the 1-800-222-1811 (this is the number they give you if you complain about a missing package). I also called the 1-800-ASK-USPS and waited on the phone for 45 minutes before I reached an actual person. The person told me I could do nothing about finding this package. He also advised me not to pick the most economical way of shipping. I asked about making a claim of about a lost package and their is no such way of doing that according to him. He later hung up the phone on me.
I found partly a solution Office of Inspector General (http://www.uspsoig.gov/hotline_what.htm). I probably won’t find that package but there is a chance for the place to be audited with enough complaints.

okay, i recently put my dell inspiron laptop up for sale for $550 (i know you can get a new one cheaper)
but i gave it a shot.
several people have contacted me, many offering $300-$400 which is understandable.
3 people have contacted me that i have questions about
the first one is a woman name sky phelan. she offered $690 and her email sounded a bit robotic. i emailed back saying that the condition of the laptop isnt that great and i hoped she understood that.
she said yes and she would be paying through paypal.
another man asked what the offer was. i said i woman had offered $690 so it has to be higher than that
he said $700 plus $100 in shipping.
the thrid was pretty much the same as the 2nd guy.
now remember this is craigslist not ebay
i know paypal is pretty secure but it is possible to be scammed???
**i also told them both that the laptop would not be sent until the money was securely in my account
is it possible that i could be scammed or get the money taken back or away??
its in great condition its just the top part is a little dicolored and i explained that but i mainly want to know is it possible to be scammed through paypal if you are the seller?
now i know some blondes dont like them but have a good atitude im a blonde and i still like them.so here
Blonde Car Accident
One day, while a blonde was out driving her car, she ran into a truck.
The truck’s driver made her pull over into a parking lot and get out of the car.
He took a piece of chalk and drew a circle on the pavement. He told her to stand in the middle and not leave the circle.
Furious, he went over to her car and slashed the tires.
The blonde started laughing.
This made the man angrier so he smashed her windshield.
This time the blonde laughed even harder.
Livid, the man broke all her windows and keyed her car.
The blonde is now laughing hysterically, so the truck driver asks her what’s so funny.
The blonde giggles and replies, “When you weren’t looking, I stepped out of the circle three times!”
Blonde Sky Divers
A blonde and a brunette are skydiving.
The brunette jumps out the plane and pulls the cord — nothing happens.
She pulls the emergency cord and still nothing.
The blonde finally jumps out of the plane and yells “Oh! So you wanna race, huh?”
Boat troubles
During late spring one year, a blonde was trying out her new boat. She was unable to have her boat perform, travel through water, or do any maneuvers whatsoever no matter how hard she tried.
After trying for over three days to make it work properly, she decided to seek help. She putted the boat over to the local marina in hopes that someone there could identify her problem.
Workers determined that everything from the engine to the outdrive was working perfectly on the topside of the boat. So, a puzzled marina employee jumped into the water to check underneath the boat for problems. Because he was laughing so hard, he came up choking on water and gasping for air. Under the boat, still strapped in place securely, was the trailer.
Do you realize what I am?
A blonde was telling her priest a Pollock joke, when halfway through the priest interrupts her, “Don’t you know I’m Polish?”
“Oh, I’m sorry,” the blonde apologizes, “do you want me to start over and talk slower?”
Your kid has been kidnapped
A blonde, out of money and down on her luck after buying air at a real bargain, needed money desperately. To raise cash, she decided to kidnap a child and hold him for ransom.
She went to the local playground, grabbed a kid randomly, took her behind a building, and told her, “I’ve kidnapped you.”
She then wrote a big note saying, “I’ve kidnapped your kid. Tomorrow morning, put $10,000 in a paper bag and leave it under the apple tree next to the slides on the south side of the playground. Signed, A blonde.”
The blonde then pinned the note to the kid’s shirt and sent him home to show it to his parents. The next morning the blonde checked, and sure enough, a paper bag was sitting beneath the apple tree. The blonde looked in the bag and found the $10,000 with a note that said, “How could you do this to a fellow blonde?”
Make it off the island
There were three people stranded on an island, a brunette, a redhead, and a blonde. The brunette looked over the water to the mainland and estimated about 20 miles to shore. So she announced, “I’m going to try to swim to shore.” So she swam out five miles, and got really tired. She swam out ten miles from the island, and she was too tired to go on, so she drowned.
The second one, the redhead, said to herself, “I wonder if she made it. I guess it’s better to try to get to the mainland than stay here and starve.” So she attempts to swim out. The redhead had a lot more endurance than the brunette, as she swam out 10 miles before she even got tired. After 15 miles, she was too tired to go on, so she drowned.
So the blonde thought to herself, “I wonder if they made it! I think I’d better try to make it, too.” So she swam out 5 miles, ten miles, fifteen miles, and finally nineteen miles from the island. The shore was just in sight, but she said, “I’m too tired to go on!” So she swam back.
Blondes change a lightbulb
Three blondes are attempting to change a light bulb. One of them decides to call 911:
Blonde: We need help. We’re three blondes changing a light bulb.
Operator: Hmmmmm. You put in a fresh bulb?
Blonde: Yes.
Operator: The power in the house in on?
Blonde: Of course.
Operator: And the switch is on?
Blonde: Yes, yes.
Operator: And the bulb still won’t light up?
Blonde: No, it’s working fine.
Operator: Then what’s the problem?
Blonde: We got dizzy spinning the ladder around, and we all fell and hurt ourselves.
Let’s take a trip to Disney
Two blondes had driven across the country to see Disney World in Florida.
As they approached it and got onto the final stretch of highway, they saw a sign saying “Disney World Left!”
After thinking for a minute, the driver blonde said “Oh well!” and started driving back home.
My friends and I have produced a DVD of my school that I know people will want to buy, but the only way they can really is if they send me a form which they can get at the school with the money for the DVD, but sending cash is highly unadviced by anyone I asked and I can’t ask people to do that.
There is checks I suppose but who would I make them payable too? There is 3 of us? Also if a person can’t send checks? Is there any other way? I want to provide as many ways to pay be as possible.
I know PayPal, but I’m selling them to average people not everyone knows what PayPal is or has an account.
allah promised israel to the jews but muslims want to kill them and throw them out of the country promised by allah. so surely allah will send them to hell; sura 17:104 and thereafter allah said to the children of israel[ the jews]; dwell securely in the promised land of israel, and when the last warning will come to past, we will gather you togather in a mingled crowed. so anyone who wants to go againest the word of allah; get ready for hell.
