no dear..now only they r giving keys..this is extremely good news.now we all shud celebrate as we all will be staying in our villas very soon.
Sharing the info I have . HUDA Sewerage contract in progress for sewerage ,expected time to finish of work this Sept . Electricity I have no clue . BPTP customer care saying expected possession in 2nd quarter . Keys they would have given last year also ,but without infrastructure what is the use of getting keys .
These are the same words I read in another blog but written by someone else. So now am doubting if you are saying true!!
Hello I have also received NOC for fit out and was advised to contact site office of BPTP. According to information available at site office, sewerage line is yet to be connected with the main HUDA line, electricity connection will take atleast six more months, water connection will also take time. In short, except structure, there is nothing and it will not be before middle of 2014 that sectoral road will be laid. The registration will also take time as BPTP have not received OC/CC so far.
Came to know that one of the villa owner has received the physical possession(keys) of Villa from BPTP. Could any one confirm that BPtp is offering the keys.
Not sure how without electricity / water/ sewerage any one is able to do inside construction in Villa .

UMNO leadership should consider Onn's 66-year proposal that UMNO open its membership to non-Malays to defend and save democracy in Malaysia
Yesterday, I gave as the reason why the UMNO leadership should consider founding UMNO President, Datuk Onn Jaafar's 66-year proposal that UMNO open its door to non-Malays the simple and basic one as to whether UMNO is a loyal and patriotic Malaysian party or just a communal Malay party – how the nation could have a Prime Minister from UMNO who could be a Prime Minister of all Malaysians when the ration d'etre of his political existence is to be the champion of one race against the other races.
I was responding to the Minister for Communications and Multimedia, Datuk Salleh Said Keruak, who had asked why UMNO must open its membership to non-Malays as UMNO has never claimed to be a multi-racial party.
Datuk Shabery Cheek, who was shunted off from the Ministry of Communications and Multimedia in the Cabinet "purge" reshuffle on July 28 last year, tried to come to his successor's rescue, declaring that UMNO's opening up its membership to non-Malays is not as simple as opening up a durian.
In a way, Shabery is very right.
If UMNO just opens up its membership to non-Malays, no non-Malay would want to be an UMNO member unless UMNO can change its political culture from a race-based party to a Malaysia-based national party.
But this is not adequate. In fact, even as a Malay communal party, UMNO has already suffered unprecedented erosion of support, not only from the Malays in general but UMNO members in particular, if UMNO continues to be hijacked into a party which who used the banner of uniting Malays to serve only the interests of Datuk Seri Najib Razak and his cronies, to avoid accountability for Najib's RM2.6 billion "donation" and RM55 billion 1MDB twin mega scandals, or outrages like RM56 billion worth of shares in public listed companies allocated for bumiputeras but only RM2 billion were left in bumiputera hands.
UMNO has over three million members and over 21,000 branches, and I have no doubt that the overwhelming majority of the UMNO members and branches do not agree with Najib's prevarication and procrastination to avoid accountability for his twin mega scandals or the "sapu" of bumiputera rights by UMNO-putras.
These are among the factors for the lowest popularity rating for Najib's UMNO/BN government among Malay voters, which has fallen below 50 per cent for the first time, plunging to as low as 30%!
If UMNO is not prepared to undergo a twin political transformation, firstly to become a party for all Malaysians and not just Malays and secondly, to be a party which champions the cause of the ordinary rakyat and oppressed low-income Malays and Malaysians instead of the UMNO-puteras, UMNO will become increasingly irrelevant to the aspirations not only of Malaysians as a whole but to the Malays as well.
I am taken aback by the tenor of Shabery's comments, which seems to approve taking the line of least resistance, of avoiding embarking on a task because it is difficult and challenging. Where is the invincible spirit of "Malaysia Boleh"!
Will Shabery stop eat durians just because opening a durian can be difficult?
Of course not, and this is why a Minister who endorses the culture of avoiding a task because it is difficult and challenging is not only a grave disservice to Malays, but also to Malaysians, as well.
Nobody suggests that UMNO opening its doors to non-Malays is an easy task or there is a guarantee of sure success.
The important question is whether it is the right and patriotic thing to do – to make the transition from race-based to Malaysia-based politics in the sixth decade of our nationhood.
It has not been easy for DAP to persevere in our founding principles, commitment and vision to be a Malaysian party for and led by all Malaysians, regardless of race or religion, especially with UMNO propagandists working overtime right from the beginning of DAP's formation to demonise DAP as anti-Malay and anti-Islam.
Life will be very much easier if DAP had succumbed and surrendered to UMNO propagandists and just confined the DAP as a political party for and by all non-Malays.
In fact, in the 1969 General Election, DAP had more Indian Members of Parliament than MIC!
But DAP would not be thwarted or browbeaten from our founding principles, commitment and vision to be a Malaysian political movement, as we never intended be just a Chinese or non-Malay political party, or just confined to a few non-Malay states in Peninsular Malaysia.
This was why the three by-elections contested by the DAP in the sixties were UMNO-strongholds – Kampong Baru in Selangor in 1966 (where the UMNO candidate, Razali Ali won and went on to become Selangor Mentri Besar), Tampoi state seat in Johor in 1967 and Segamat Utara parliamentary seat in Johore (where the winning UMNO candidate, Musa Hitam, went on to become the Deputy Prime Minister in 1981).
This was also why the DAP presented a multi-racial slate of candidates since our first general election contest in 1969, which saw the election of two DAP Malay State Assemblymen, one in Perak (Ibrahim Singgeh – Tapah Road) and the other in Negri Sembilan (Hassan Ahmad – Si Rusa).
In the past 11 general elections, DAP had elected Malay Members of Parliament (Ahmad Nor, Zairil Khir Johari, Arif Sabri Abdul Aziz and Senator Ariffin Omar) and State Assembly representatives in Peninsular Malaysia (Daing Ibrahim Othman, Mohd Salleh Nakhoda Hitam, Fadzlan Yahya and Tengku Zulpuri Shah Raja Puji).
Furthermore, DAP Secretary-General and Penang Chief Minister, Lim Guan Eng had paid the highest political price to protect the honour, dignity and human rights of an under-aged Malay girl, went to Kajang Prison, losing his parliamentary position and pension rights as well civic rights to stand for elective office and to cast his vote for five years on release from prison. Can UMNO leadership furnish one such example in its seven decades of establishment?
Despite the ups and downs, trials and tribulations, suffered by DAP leaders in the past 50 years, we remain true to our founding principles, commitment and vision to be a Malaysian political party with multi-racial and multi-religious representation at all levels of party leadership and elected representatives.
UMNO leaders should be commending and even emulating the DAP example of staying true and loyal to Malaysian principles, commitment and vision, instead intensifying the campaign of lies, fear and hatred to demonise DAP as anti-Malay and anti-Islam.
Let me here give the Sallehs and Shaberys another reason why UMNO should open its doors to non-Malays – to save democracy in Malaysia.
On Sunday, Taiwan elected Tsai Ing-wen of Democratic Progressive Party as President, which marked a third peaceful "turnover" of power through the ballot box – from Kuomintang (KMT) to DPP in 2000, DPP to KTM in 2008 and KTM back to DPP in 2016.
Malaysia has yet to become a normal democratic country, as we have yet to undergo one peaceful "turnover" of power through the ballot box when scholars say that a country cannot claim to be a normal democracy without two peaceful "turnovers" of power through the ballot box.
There are those who want to subvert even any peaceful "turnover" of power through the ballot box, by falsely claiming that Malays will lose political power if the UMNO-led coalition is defeated in a general election, which appears most likely in the 14th General Election by 2018.
The 14GE is not battle between the Malays and Chinese for political power as Malays will not lose political power even if Najib and UMNO lose the battle for Putrajaya.
The baseless campaign of lies, fear and hatred that Malays will lose political power if UMNO is defeated in the 14GE is a grave threat to democracy in Malaysia.
UMNO will be able to help defend democracy in Malaysia if it opens it doors to non-Malays and become a Malaysian party dedicated to the upliftment of all Malaysians, regardless of race, religion or region and not just for any one single race or religion.
This will go a long way to debunk the lies and falsehoods that Malays will lose political power if Najib and UMNO are defeated in the 14GE.
Is the UMNO leadership prepared to consider Onn Jaafar's 66-year proposal for UMNO to open its membership to non-Malays to be a patriotic Malaysian party and to defend democracy in Malaysia?

Have you ever had one of those days where everything seemed like one big coincidence? Let me tell you how I came to make my zucchini pie.
My friend and co-worker, Brenda, is forever bringing me all sorts of veggies from her sister's farm back home. This week was all about string beans and zucchini, or summer squash as she calls it.
Usually, I'm all about making that zucchini into a nice fattening loaf of Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread (and I did), but this time I also wanted to make something a little healthier. As it happens, another co-worker, Jan, stopped at my desk to give me a copy of a recipe she had printed out from the Betty Crocker site (if you haven't guessed, food is the main topic of conversation at work). At any rate, the recipe she handed to me was for an Impossibly Easy Zucchini Pie. Immediately, I was transported back in time...to the early '80's in San Diego. Pete was in law school back then, and we hung out with a lot of his law school buddies. They were all nice guys, but we rarely had a chance to socialize with other couples. Luckily, one of his classmates was engaged to be married and we had a chance to spend some time with him and his fiancee. For our first get together, we spent the day in Tijuana, Mexico and then we had dinner at their apartment. We were students, so cash was tight, but the simple meal we shared was really tasty---it was a vegetable impossible pie.
It wasn't long after that we moved out of California and lost touch. Years later, we saw that Pete's friend had become very successful--we spotted him on 48 Hours or 20/20--he was a hot shot. Pretty cool. And then I didn't think of him or his wife again...until I saw that recipe. I folded it up and put it in my purse, figuring I might give it a try. It would require a stop at the store for Bisquick and I wasn't sure if I wanted to buy it, although it does call for the "Heart Smart" variety.
So now I had to buy the Bisquick. Strange universe vibes were at work here. Must. Make. Impossible.Pie.
Ok, so it looks almost healthy...I'll give it a try.
Easy to put together. Shredded zucchini, diced tomatoes, chopped onions....I was out of Parmesan cheese, so I subbed cheddar.
Here it is--the pie that was meant to be.
Love this idea! I too have a bunch of zucchini and am using it up this weekend. I went for a cake, but savory options would be nice as well ;)!
You have an interesting blog. I am now your new follower. Feel free to follow me too.
Amy, I've made this twice now, but I'm on to the zucchini bread next. Cake? Oh yes, I'll have to try that, too!
Chris--that was the last impossible pie I made, too! The classic coconut pie--really retro--made it in the '70's.
Oh wow, this looks and sounds fantastic..Love how you made it and photos are gorgeous!

When you are a brand new business with a brand new website there are lots of things you want to do. Of course you want to start earning, but this doesn't happen straight away for many new businesses so instead you try and think how best to use your time as you have lots spare.
One option is blogging for your new business; this then gives you something to share on social media, but is also a really good way of competing with the other companies selling what you sell and doing what you do. There business may be busier than yours and therefore they haven't got the time to write blog posts – but this is what can help you climb the search engine ranks and put yourself towards the top of the search engines for your industry – but what can you blog about as a new business?
You will have an About Us Page (if you do not, you need one!) but why not write a blog post about your story, where you came from and where you are going. Why you set up your business and what you hope to achieve.
Why not write a blog post that shares your company values, this way people can understand what you and your business are about and this may make them more inclined to purchase a product or service from you?
'An Interview With' type blogs are also a great idea for new businesses. Start by interviewing yourself and then any members of the team as well. Ask any answer questions about why they like the job and working for the company, the best and worst bits and then move onto more informal stuff like what they do in their spare time, how they enjoy their hot beverage and favourite biscuits and maybe a life quote too?
As soon as you have worked with your first client create a case study as a blog post talking about what the client wanted, what you offered and the end result. This then shows visitors to your website what you do and how it can work for them. This is a great way of promoting your business in a non-pushy and sales way.
If you need help blogging for your business as a new business then let us know, we'd be happy to help you come up with ideas and blog posts for your business.


In the weeks before the release of " Dhoom 3″, actor Aamir Khan got a message from his dentist, who was concerned that his patient's new film wasn't being promoted enough.
That was exactly what Khan, who plans the marketing of his films as meticulously as he prepares for roles, wanted to hear.
"When people are concerned enough about your film that they ask you why they aren't promoting it more, you know you've achieved what you wanted," the 48-year-old Bollywood star told Reuters in an interview.
As each big-ticket Indian film tries to outdo previous box-office records, shouting about the latest premiere has become routine.
Before "Chennai Express" opened in cinemas last year, actor Shah Rukh Khan appeared on popular reality TV shows, toured several cities and ensured newspaper coverage for the film. "Chennai Express" became the highest-grossing Bollywood movie, raking in 2.27 billion rupees ($36.6 million) in domestic ticket sales.
Six months later, "Dhoom 3″ — the third instalment of Bollywood's only action franchise — has surpassed that record, netting at least 2.7 billion rupees ($43.5 million) by employing the opposite strategy. In the run-up to the film's release, the lead stars didn't do any road shows, and hardly any interviews or appearances on TV shows.
Instead, Aamir Khan was spotted in public wearing a fedora — which his character sports in "Dhoom 3″ — for nearly a year before the film's release. Production house Yash Raj Films didn't release the official soundtrack, distributing 30-second video snippets instead.
"What was really innovative was that they held back on the music. Most movies rely on music videos for free play on radio and music channels, which ensures traction, but they took that risk," said Shailesh Kapoor of Ormax Media, a media research firm.
Kapoor's firm estimates that 420 seconds of "Dhoom 3″ footage were distributed in the form of trailers and song promos before the film's release, compared with 700 seconds on average for big-ticket Bollywood movies. "Chennai Express" handed out 820 seconds of footage.
"We want you to enjoy this film in the theatre. If I have seen the song on TV 20 times and on YouTube 20 times, when it comes in the film, I have lost interest in those five minutes. But when you are seeing it for the first time, your curiosity is piqued," Khan said.
The other reason to skimp on music previews, Khan said, was to draw repeat audiences to cinemas with the spectacle of elaborate song sequences.
"These are the two things you do — you release the songs, you get them popular and you get a big first day. You go on big-ticket shows, you create awareness of a film, and you get a big opening. We got a big opening without that — that means our tests were correct. And 36 crores (360 million rupees or $6 million) is a huge opening. You cannot go higher than that," he said.
Figures released by Yash Raj Films this week show that "Dhoom 3″ grossed more than 5 billion rupees ($80 million) worldwide, a first for an Indian film.
Aamir Khan often teams up with film producers to brainstorm on marketing strategies. In 2008, the actor ensured that ushers and food vendors at cinemas playing arch rival Shah Rukh Khan's "Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi" sported haircuts like his character in the film "Ghajini", which released the same year.
In 2009, Aamir Khan announced a nationwide treasure hunt for fans to find clues to the character he was playing in "3 Idiots". He was also one of the first Bollywood actors to promote films through reality TV shows, a formula he rejected for "Dhoom 3″.
"The marketing team at YRF (Yash Raj Films) was terrified. They were convinced we were doing something disastrous. They wanted to go all out, and I am not blaming them," said Khan.
Kapoor of Ormax Media said heavily promoting a film like "Dhoom 3″ could have increased expectations or given away a plot twist, affecting ticket sales after the first weekend.
"But since there was so much mystery surrounding the plot and the film, it carried on. It is only now, in the third week, that the content is catching up, and collections are falling," he said.
Bollywood might need to take a leaf out of the actor's book. For an industry that relies heavily on the first weekend for most of its revenues, marketing is a crucial tool, and not too many films innovate in that department.
Aamir, Salman caught peeing together!

MK calls to ban Secret smartphone application
Knesset Children's Rights Committee head Orly Levy-Abecassis says it's used for "cyber-bullying."
By LAHAV HARKOV
The smartphone application Secret is being used for cyber-bullying, Knesset Committee for Children's Rights chairwoman Orly Levy-Abecassis warned, calling for the Justice Ministry to ban it.
Secret is an app that allows people to share anonymous messages and photos, either within their circle of friends, or publicly.
Levy-Abecassis said on Wednesday that there have been several cases of children and teens using the app to publicize lies, embarrassing photos and sexual content to bully other young people.
According to Levy-Abecassis, Brazil has already asked Apple and Google not to sell the app to Brazilians and erase it from phones that have already downloaded it.
The Committee for Children's Rights asked Communications Minister Gilad Erdan two weeks ago to have his office examine how to block the app.
"Unfortunately, the application turned into a platform for cyber-bullying for Israeli youth, who, in many cases, used it to smear and harm others," Levy-Abecassis said.
"In some cases cyber-bullying ends in tragedy. This problem has become acute recently with the use of Secret as a social tool that can harm teens and we must do all we can to prevent such situations," she added.


Ukulele Underground Forums > Ukulele Boards > Ukulele Beginners > Buzzing when plucking..is it my technique?
View Full Version : Buzzing when plucking..is it my technique?
I'm messing around with a simple version of "dueling banjoes". Lots fun, and it involves plucking single strings. One thing I notice is that I pluck a string and it sounds good, but then I go to re-plcuk it again before the string settles down again and I get a buzz as my finger touches the string..then I get clean sound again once the pluck is done.
Is this simply my lack of technique?
One good way to find out is to play the piece veeeerrrryyyyy sssllllooooowwwwlllllyyyyy. If you can play it cleanly and slowly, you'll (eventually) be able to play it cleanly at tempo.
I don't do a lot of picking but I do a lot of picked arpeggios and it sounds like you are "approaching" hesitantly for the second pluck. When picking you want your fingers to kind of nip in like little birds quickly taking a peck at the string. If you "feel your way in" you are basically damping the string before the second pluck.
Yes, this does seem like what I'm doing. Playing slow helps..it lets me take aim and hit the string precisely. I think I just need more practice.
my two-cents worth...try moving you fretting finger closer to the fret wire.


At least two persons were killed after a commercial bus collided with a train in Lagos on Friday.
The tragic incident occurred at Odejobi junction on the Old Abeokuta road.
The passenger train collided with a parked commercial bus, forcing three hanging passengers to fall off the moving train at crossing at Pen Cinema, Iju Road.
According to the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA), one adult sustained injuries and was transferred to Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH).
He added that those who lost their lives had been taken to the mortuary by the State Environmental Health Monitoring Unit (SHEMU).
Adesina Tiamiyu, general manager of LASEMA, advised people to consider safety before boarding train and also desist from hanging on moving train to avoid unnecessary loss of lives.


April 20, 2015 (San Diego's East County) -- A project to rehabilitate the pavement on the main lanes, shoulders and ramps on State Route 67 from Interstate 8 to the San Diego River Bridge north of Mapleview Street is scheduled to begin Monday. The work will also include installation of new guardrail and concrete barrier.
California Highway Patrol advises that travelers can expect to see construction signs placed in advance of the work. The initial work will be to replace and install new guardrail. Construction work requiring nighttime lane closures is expected to begin in May.
Motorists are advised to slow and move over a lane when safe to do so whenever highway workers are present with flashing amber lights on their vehicles. It's the Law!

Microsoft is doing its best to discredit a recent eWEEK story on the company's plans to make good on expectations by some of its Software Assurance licensees who felt cheated by Microsoft's failure to deliver Vista and Office 2007 when promised.
Here are more details on exactly what Microsoft told us—based on a transcript of an interview with Allison Watson, the corporate vice president of Microsoft's Worldwide Partner Group, which I recorded at the annual Microsoft worldwide partner conference in Boston in July.
Microsoft recently started telling its hardware and software partners that its goal is to release Windows Vista and Office 2007 simultaneously in January. Click here to read more.
She also argued that a delay could actually be a good thing for those ISVs and partners that work with Microsoft on the services side, but noted that "I'm not trying to minimize the importance of it."

Shopcorn.com Exclusively Uses SlideShare and Twitter For Marketing
Shopcorn.in is arguably India's first 'Social Shopping Community', where sellers can post their bargains and users will vote for them. Voting these bargains up and down is the site's cornerstone function, respectively called a pick and kick. The site is being exclusively promoted via Social Media Marketing only.
We caught up with Vishwalok Nath, Co-founder of ShopCorn to talk about how they plan to use Social Media to promote their product:
1. How did the @peppysophia account on Twitter begin? Is this an online identity you created or a real person?
Peppy Sophia is the name of the mascot for Shopcorn.in. It started with uploading presentations on Slideshare. After that, we took up a Twitter account to drive visitors to the slideshows. However, after joining Twitter, we realised that it's more than just inviting visitors to your website, you can create an identity for your company on Twitter and start replying to questions and feedback from your target audience in real-time.
2. What is your rationale for choosing Twitter as a marketing medium for ShopCorn.in?
Since Twitter gives instant access to your target audience, you can communicate live and take feedback for your product from users in real-time. Twitter can act as a company's mouthpiece to the world. In fact, we have received a few partnership leads via Twitter from a travel search engine, a shopping website and a custom gifts company!
3. While you interact with the community, we have noticed that most of your strategy revolves around gifting prizes, gifts and other material benefits to increase the amount of buzz you create for your clients. Do you see any other way of doing this apart from giving out gifts and prizes?
As Shopcorn is a unique concept, our first goal was to create awareness & entice users to try out the product. Hence, we adopted this strategy of holding contests and gifting prizes to get visitors to test our product. Going forward, they would get benefited by simply being there in terms of great deals, reward points, free gifts etc.
4. What is your strategy on Twitter?
We would like to use Twitter as our mouthpiece to the users. While looking for relevant contacts for building alliances for Shopcorn, we felt that it takes a lot of time to reach out to the concerned person in most of the online portals. But with an active twitter account your customers, prospective partners etc. can easily reach you.
5. Do you have a Social Media presence on other websites such as FaceBook, etc? If yes, what is your overall Social Media strategy and where does Twitter fit into the scheme of things?
We have presence on Twitter, Facebook, Slideshare, and Orkut. We are most active on Twitter as it gives instant results. We are also planning a Twitter App of our portal
We are believe that Shopcorn used Slideshare very innovatively to drive traffic to their website! They do tend to generate a lot of buzz within a small section of the Twitter community. We will be watching them…

Tired of annoying tree balls? This A&T professor had a brilliant idea. | Local
Sandra Alexander presents her invention, the Holiday Light Ball Kit, at Core Technology Molding Corp. in Greensboro Thursday. She was inspired to make the plastic light ball kit, which was easier to work with than the chicken wire normally used to create the decoration.
Ken Canion, Sandra Alexander and Geoff Foster (L to R) present the Holiday Light Ball Kit at Core Technology Molding Corp. in Greensboro Thursday. Canion and Foster helped Alexander turn his idea into reality.
The Holiday Light Ball Kit, invented by retired NC A&T professor Sandra Alexander, uses plastic instead of wire mesh to create the holiday light balls made popular in the Sunset Hills community in Greensboro.
JAMIE BIGGS
GREENSBORO – When Sandra Alexander wanted to hang Christmas tree lights – like the ones lining the trees in the Sunset Hills neighborhood – she went out and bought some chicken wire and string lights, assuming she would be able to make the luminous balls that she had come to admire.
It ended up being "one of the most frustrating experiences," according to Alexander, a retired NC A&T professor.
"When I see beautiful things, I'm just inspired," Alexander said.
But as she struggled with wire mesh, she knew there had to be an easier way.
"I said, 'why don't I use my creativity to find something better? ""
Now, after some trial and error, Alexander runs Anndoori Outdoor Art, selling "decorative lights made easy".
Alexander, who survived a rare form of cancer, could have passed on his idea – of using plastic, a much lighter and easier to handle material – to someone else, but she wanted to tackle her – even at the company.
Unfortunately, "the business world has not responded so well," said Alexander.
She said she wasn't sure if being Black or being a woman prevented people from taking her seriously, but when she first entered the world of injection molding – a field dominated by white men – she faced skepticism.

Nebraska steel buildings can be purchased in a wide variety of styles and floor plans. They are affordable, beautiful, functional and durable, as well as being energy efficient and low maintenance. Nebraska metal buildings are also economical to build because of their speed and ease of construction. With so many excellent reasons to choose Nebraska steel buildings there's no reason not to shop for one today.
Steel building construction was originally designed in the 1940s for use by the military for housing and storage. Today these stylish buildings are a far cry from the Quonset huts of yesteryear. Whether you are building a new agricultural storage facility for your wheat in Nebraska, building it yourself with steel building kits, or designing a new church in Bellevue, these buildings are sure to please. The new Nebraska metal buildings designs come with many accessories to choose from. Exterior finishes can include stucco, brick or even glass front for an elegant look. Interior finishes can include drywall and paint or texture. There's really no limit to the flexibility of Nebraska metal buildings.
Nebraska metal buildings include affordable designs for retail shops, churches, schools, garages, riding arenas, storage facilities, aircraft hangers or even a guest cottage. Identifying your design is your first step to finding the perfect fit for you. When considering the needs of your Nebraska steel buildings remember to think of items such as heating and air conditioning. If you are building a storage facility that will house inventory not susceptible to heat and cold, you may not need an HVAC unit or even insulation. If you are building an office building or church, however, you will need to provide comfort for the employees or parishioners.
Create a floor plan that identifies your needs. Remember to add restroom facilities, doors and windows, and skylights if you would like to have natural lighting. Will you have large vehicles entering and exiting the building? Will you need a loading dock? How many rolling or sliding doors will you need? Once you have identified the answers to these questions you are ready to review your site location in Nebraska.
Perhaps the most important aspect of your new Nebraska metal buildings next to the design is the location. If you haven't already chosen the site for your construction, consider the size you will need. Will you need room for a large truck to turn around in your parking lot? Will there be many employees or customers coming in and out? Is your location zoned for commercial use if that is your plan? Are there utilities on the site now or will you need to have them installed?
Consider the building codes for your area of Nebraska. Are there heavy snow loads requiring stronger construction. For heavy snow load areas you may want to consider the arch design metal building. These designs do not allow snow to accumulate on the roof thus eliminating a snow load. Arch designs are also considered to be the strongest architectural structure known. Once you have considered your site requirements you are ready to begin shopping for your new Nebraska metal buildings.
Shopping for Nebraska steel buildings is quick and easy to do online. You will still want to ensure you are receiving the best product for your dollar by comparing several quotes from reputable dealers. Give the dealers your floor plan and go over it carefully identifying important aspects of your design. If you are planning on constructing your steel building yourself you will want to pass that information on to your dealers so it is not included in the quotes. Look for dealers who have a strong background in steel buildings and make sure you ask about their customer service. You want someone who will be available for questions throughout the project. Find out about the warranties they offer and what they will cover. Most metal building structural warranties can be 50 years or more depending on the materials used. There are many dealers of Nebraska steel buildings to choose from. By following these simple steps you will be sure to find one that will help you build your perfect metal building in Nebraska.
Nebraska steel buildings are affordable, durable, stylish and functional. Once you decide on your design and choose your building site you will be ready to purchase your ideal metal buildings to fit your needs. Remember to get several quotes, ask about their customer service and review their warranties to ensure you are getting the product you want. Your Nebraska metal buildings are built to last and are adaptable to almost any need. By following the steps above you will be sure to have many years of enjoyment from your new steel building.

If you are an organisation challenged with reducing the costs and improving the performance of your Oracle based ETL solutions, and meeting the demands of DevOps and Cloud Computing, then we may be able to help with our simple, low cost, and highly effective and efficient PL/SQL based ETL tool ETLExpress.
Data warehouses processing very large data volumes with complex multiple concurrent feeds can be immensely difficult to successfully deliver. As a result, there can be big challenges associated with minimising ETL batch times, eradicating concurrent data loading issues to improve throughput, meeting minimum expected developer skill levels, and justifying the cost of expensive enterprise ETL tools. Additionally, keeping on top of all of this whilst juggling with the demands of meeting DevOps and Cloud Computing requirements only exasperates the challenges.
Are you using Oracle 11g or higher to perform your ETL tasks being into, out of, and within the databases?
Do you pay for expensive licences for your enterprise ETL technology?
Do you rely on costly specialist resources to administer, develop, and support your ETL solutions?
Are your ETL solutions challenged with continuing performance and scalability issues?
Do your bespoke PL/SQL based ETL solutions lack adequate frameworks, and beyond your in-house skills set to stabilise or improve?
Are you under pressure to reduce your IT skills and training costs, with possible outsourcing and/or off-shoring?
Are you looking to improve your IT development throughput and time-to-market for your data warehousing solutions?
So, answering yes to most of the above will more than likely mean our feature-packed comprehensive ETL application ETL/Express can help you.

Eve freestyles over Mobb Deep's "Quiet Storm" | New Music
Eve's been gearing up for the release of new album Lip Lock by dropping a variety of freestyles, and here she goes over Mobb Deep's popular classic "Quiet Storm."
The track originally appeared on Mobb Deep's '99 full-length Murda Muzik, but the version which many people remember is the remix, when Lil' Kim jumped on board and delivered a memorable, ice-cold verse. Whilst Eve is as well qualified as anyone to take on Kim's verse, I think the former first lady of Ruff Ryders falls a little bit flat with her punchlines here.
Have a listen for yourself below and let us know what you think in the C-section. Skip to 30 seconds for the start of the freestyle.
