Building Business Credit
Most businesses want to be able to borrow money when they need it, without the owners having to personal guarantee the loans. This means less risk to the owners. Hoping to get a business loan without a personal guarantee is one thing and actually obtaining it is quit another.Too many business owners come to us last minute trying to obtain additional financing. We are constantly approached by business owners asking how to obtain business financing, and more importantly, how to obtain it without a personal guarantee! We watch as successful businesses are turned down for financing because they haven’t taken the time to set up

You can clearly see what have happened to one of the best game on the planet. This is not specific to just SimCity but to the whole gaming industry. The graphic wow-effect is everything that matters today. Personally, I love good graphics, but not when I have to buy a better computer to be able to use it, when I can

Don't Waste Any Pages On Your Website - Even The Ones That Don't Exist
I gave some advice recently to someone who’s website wasn’t quite ready. They owned the domain, they had the hosting organised, but because their website wasn’t ready they just let the webhost default page stay there. To me that’s a waste of valuable online real estate ! why advertise your host when you are paying them and it should be YOU getting the benefit if anyone happens to come across your site. So what do you do?Well for a start,don’t put up one of those annoying “under construction” banners, if anything is going to drive people away from your website that will. It also gets frustrating if you put a “come back on the 20th

I've always liked to play SimCity since I was little. I used to play the version for Super Nintendo for hours then and then. That version was really cool. It had 4 seasons (winter, spring, summer and autumn) and many landscapes, scenarios to choose between. That was a really big hit at the time. It was clearly the most popular videogame.

Then SimCity 2000 came out on the market. It was almost like a revolution. Many new things to use, better graphics, more innovative and the game engine was more advanced. So it was very good news (except from the fact that the seasons were gone).

But the follower that came after SC2000, SimCity3000 was real disaster. Well there were more tools, advisers and a more advanced terrain (witch was crap because you couldn't build anything on it) but not anything special. The graphics was probably the worst part. It was more advanced but everything just looked as shit. It was a blur hell. I would state that this didn't feel like an upgrade more like a retarded downgrade. It was fun in 2 weeks but no more.

And after that flop, a new version was to be released, SimCity 4. This time, the MAXIS programmers learned had learned a lesson, not to release anything that isn't useful. So they did good graphics added fun tools, more effects, more unique buildings and neighboring cities. This was a small step up from SimCity 2000 but a huge step up from SC3000. This was however not intended to be a strategy-based city planning game, but more to be like a fun modeling program (like 3DMax or Maya) and creating wow effects. It was not Hey I've managed to get 1m inhabitants but more like Hey, look what a nice city I built. The game also required a new high-end computer with more than a GB of RAM, a high-end graphic card with at least 128MB an Athlon2500XP or a with Pentium 2,5GHZ to be able to play (but even that was not).

Efficient Market Hypothesis - Can You Beat The Market?
The Efficient Market Hypothesis, or EMH, is a concept developed by Eugene Fama, which asserts that the prices of financial instruments, reflect all known information about the future values and beliefs of the investors about those particular financial instruments. This means that you, the investor, cannot outperform the market in the long run.Here is a quick example: Suppose you watch the evening news, and there is a report of how High-Tech companies are getting more popular. You think to yourself it will be a good investment, and you decide to buy stocks of High-Tech companies. Will you outperform everybody? probably not. What know

ter graphics, more innovative and the game engine was more advanced. So it was very good news (except from the fact that the seasons were gone).

Connections
People say: cash used to be cool. Well, guess what, It Still Is! Whether it is in its plastic form—credit cards--or in regular Greenbacks, money, cash, is still cool to have around the house!You spend a great deal of your waking hours trying to create it because along with it come dreams, big dreams! Dreams of financial security, well-being, family comfort, and happiness. However, it is important to realize that cash in and of itself will not bring happiness. No, what success along with the cash will bring you is the greatest facility to realize those big dreams, which then translate into a better life for you and your family.

Responsibility in Home Loans Goes Both Ways
Whilst watching the news on a local Phoenix TV Station recently, I came across a human interest story about a couple who were in danger of losing their Phoenix home as they could not afford the payments. In this case, the homeowners had an interest rate of 9%, we will get to that later, and the mortgage broker who had arranged the loan in the first place had told them that would refinance after a few months in order to get lower monthly payments.Firstly, they did not have great credit, plus they had no down-payment, hence the aforementioned interest rate. Also, given those circumstances, they were gambling that home prices in the

To Be Early Is To Be On Time
I’ve been in the classroom for the past 29 years. During that time, I’ve had the opportunity to travel a lot with my choirs and bands. To prepare students for these trips, I had them learn my “mantra” concerning time ( I don’t know where I got it from, but I’ve been using it professionally and personally for over thirty years).“To be early is to be on time, to be on time is to be in late, and to be late is to be in trouble”. For those of my students who followed the “late” timing, they quickly found that late night running solved their problems. I also “left: my fair share of chaperones at the hote

What will happen with SimCity5? There is rumors that they are already building it but why having expect anything of it. If SC4 was too much for my pretty new PC than I wonder how SC5 will be like. This will probably be the last version if they actually build it. Why? It will be a flop. Nobody will be able to use it. People that already experienced SC4 for will definitely not buy it. It's kinda joke already.

The solution

Lets start a new project based on opensource. Lets call it OpenSimcity.

Part two - The project

The idea is based on objective programming, OOP. This should be easy to made, easy to check bugs and adjusting the code. We will create this game from the beginning and do it better. And when I say better, I don't just mean faster performance or some new features. I mean a whole new structure, a whole new ground to stand on. This will be unique.

The graphics should be advanced but on the same time not dominate the game. It should feature a lot of options for peoples that have another kind of taste. Also, the game will probably take a few years to finish and by that time, graphics cards will be more powerful then we had ever seen before. GPU performance grows 40% per year while CPU only grows with 10%. Therefore, all graphics should be done in OpenGL to unleash power from the CPU. Real-time zooming should be possible.

Unlimited area. Instead of the idea that the user can have 3 or 4 sizes to choose between, why not customize it? The user can etc print out X (width) and Y (height) axis and get a map featuring whatever size he/she chose. The user should have the ability to change the size (increase or d
