The floor can be scrubed with an abrassive cleaner such as comet, and then rinsed with COLD water.  Check the floor to see if it has lost its shine.  If the shine has deminished to some degree; then it is ready for a floor covering. CAUTION there is a better way to place linolium down in one piece without using glue.... place small staples around the edeges of linolum and tack about every 4 to 6 inches .... The linolium will settle within usually a couple of days and all air will escape.....  the semi rough sub-surface will in effect cause the new floor to settle gently.....HOWEVER if you are going to use a glue down type of squares for the new floor .....One should pre test the old floor after cleening with the dype of glue to be used;      use glue very sparingly and let glue become tacky, almost dry; before laying new tile. You may need to go and rent a floor roller to insure that squares are seeting properly...If you need more info or any othe questions contact me at

Blast in Pakistani Capital

STORY: This is the scene of the latest bombing in Islamabad. Tangled mettle and rubble is all that is left of this police headquarters. The bomber managed to breach the security cordon and gain access to the building. Police said the attacker was carrying two baskets of sweets. He presented one to a policeman, and detonated the bomb. Islamabad's chief of police wants to know how security was breached. [Asghar Raza Gardazi, Chief of Police]: "There are three injured people. There are many questions which we want to find out - how did the vehicle have ingress inside? Because we have (given) instructions to them that all the vehicles should be parked outside. There was a parking (lot) made outside the police lines for that purpose. We have yet to see how did it have ingress." The number of casualties is low, as most of the police were on patrol close to the parliament building, where the newly appointed intelligence chief was briefing the government on security issues. But the blast comes at a time when security forces in the country are on high alert. More attacks are feared as Pakistan intensifies its offensive on militants in the tribal areas bordering Afghanistan.
