Where have the concrete blocks gone?

faq
Thorough debate ensued over the fate of last year’s debris, and in the end it was scrapped. Our faith in concrete naturally decreased, as even duck tape failed to keep it together. Perhaps this year, we shall keep it simple and avoid similar disaster. However, that would make the RA’s job far too easy, and butts were made for sitting anyway.

Should I use concrete blocks under the posts?

above ground pools faq
For the do it yourselfer I would strongly recommend it. I would also level each one with a transit type level. Building pools on the firm Arizona ground as I do blocks are seldom used.

What about concrete?

Frequently Asked Questions
Concrete is a commonly requested material. To be honest, we don't know much about gluing to concrete. You could check with some building sites. Cement is the adhesive that holds concrete together.

Why has the surface of my concrete floor gone dusty? How do I fix it?

Cement Concrete & Aggregates Australia
Concrete surface dusting is typically caused by finishing the concrete surface too early, while bleed water is still rising to the surface. Thus working bleed water back into the concrete weakens the concrete surface resulting in dusting of the harden concrete. Generally, repairing dusting floors is difficult, however, if the problem is not severe, the surface can be repaired by applying a chemical surface hardener.

Surely the technical (concrete) buildings are far too gone to be saved?

RAF Driffield - Introduction

What is the difference between Oz-Deck and pre-cast concrete deck blocks or pier blocks?

OZ-POST Instant Post Holes
The main difference between deck blocks/pier blocks and Oz-Deck is the construction technique for building the structure of the deck. Deck blocks do not use beams to support the joist structure therefore deck blocks are required under every joist on no greater than 5’ spacing. For the average deck this requirement can add up to be twice as many deck blocks than Oz-Decks for the same size deck.

What about sun blocks?

Sun Block Retin-A Skin Program Rejuvenation Serum
Sun blocks are an important part of your skin care regimen. Bare Skin Rayblock is recommended as a daily part of your regimen, because it is good for your skin. However, it should not be relied on as a sun block, as it will not last very long as a blocking agent. A sun block will not give you more than 80% protection (there are exceptions, such as Titanium oxide and Total Block). So you will always get some UVA and UVB rays.

Where have all the methods gone?

R FAQ
Many functions, particularly S3 methods, are now hidden in namespaces. This has the advantage that they cannot be called inadvertently with arguments of the wrong class, but it makes them harder to view. To see the code for an unexported function foo() in the namespace of package "bar" use bar:::foo. Don't use these constructions to call unexported functions in your own code—they are probably unexported for a reason and may change without warning. Next: Why is read.

Where has Scooter gone, anyway?

rec.arts.henson+muppets Frequently Asked Questions
The performer who performed Scooter, Richard Hunt, died in 1992 of complications due to AIDS. Scooter was not really seen since until Muppets From Space, in which he had a small cameo. It is unlikely he will ever return as a major character.

And where has Skeeter gone?

rec.arts.henson+muppets Frequently Asked Questions
Scooter's sister Skeeter has never been part of the non-animated Muppet world; she exists only in "Muppet Babies," probably as a nod towards gender equality (though this one instance is hardly enough to mitigate the distressing lack of female voices in the Muppet world). In any case, the writers and producers of "Muppet Babies" like to think she became a famous explorer and disappeared down the Amazon.
