CityVille Secrets Revealed–Making the most Coins and Gold in the Fastest Time Possible

December 26th, 2010

CityVille is a wonderful game that takes you back in time. You will discover how hard is it to build a city even in a game! Kind of like Sim City I guess but this is for Facebook. Like it or not, we all need money. That is the one thing that makes our society function or at least the exchange of one good for another. Whether it is bartering, “more adult methods” or plain old cash, one item has to be exchanged for another. In CityVille, making money or more commonly coins or cash can be done by growing goods, businesses and helping out friends.

As easy as that may sound however, even in real life, many of us want and need more money but have difficulty in obtaining it! Well, apparently not. People are struggling to get money to build community buildings to keep their population happy and when your people are unhappy, you will struggle to level up. That is how it goes in the real world as well, unhappy people leads to a society’s demise. So how can you get more money? Well those are some of the issues that the CityVille Secrets Guide answers and much more.

The main goal here is to balance making money and keeping your people happy.

As you go through the levels, you will find that making money in the higher levels is easier. Having said that, the buildings that will keep your people happy will also be much more expensive. Make sure you have a good balance of businesses in your city versus your crop production. That helps maximize your earnings.

All in all, mastering CityVille is about using the right strategies and techniques to expand your city efficiently. Even someone who checks their account once a day could level up faster than someone who sits in front of their computer for 10 hours a day! That’s why the City Ville Secrets Guide allows you to cut through the fluff and make the rewards worth your time.

911 for your Appliances? – Tips on Fixing or Nixing your Workhorses

December 25th, 2010

Although there will not be a policeman or fire fighter at your door to take care of your ailing home appliances, they too can become unhealthy sometimes and in need of servicing. Here are some quick suggestions for your various appliances as to whether you should run down to your favorite store and buy another one or call the handyman instead to have it fixed.

Dishwashers tend to have a life expectancy of nine years and typical problems include leaks where you have to check for a broken latch door or bad motor pump seal. If there are problems with the drainage, check to make sure that the garbage disposer is clear. You should definitely look into buying a new one if the motor fails or the repairs to fix the leaks become too expensive.

Dryers typically last about 13 years and you should look into fixing them if the clothes take too long to dry than you are typically accustomed to waiting. First clean the exhaust duct all the way to the outside and replace plastic or foil duct with metal. Again, similar to the dishwasher, if the motor fails it is probably best to buy a new one.

Washers are another important piece of the puzzle and if there is vibrating during the spin cycle, check for solid footing and then as needed adjust the leg height so that it is level and you can also loo into reinforcing the floor with plywood screwed to the joists. Again if the drive motor or transmission breaks, it is best to replace.

Stoves have a life expectancy of 15 years for gas and 13 years if electric and issues which can be fixed include whether the gas burner doesn’t light or only lights partway. You can clean the holes with a needle and if the electric burner fails, simply buy a new one. However, trash it and buy a new one if repairs costs more than a new appliance.

There are definitely more appliances which can be examined but this is only a short list and by all means, make sure your budget can handle any repairs or replacements before making such major decisions or it might be you calling 911 for yourself.

Make your House Smile – 5 Ways to Go Green and save money

December 24th, 2010

Your house will not actually smile but you certainly will after you see your energy bills becoming lower and the amazing feeling you will get after discovering how easy it is to play a positive part for the environment while keeping extra money in your pocket. Here are five changes you can make to go green:

Cotton Fiber Insulation: This product is made from recycled blue-jeans scraps; is soft and safe to handle and 100% recyclable. Safety perks include it being treated to resist fire, no formaldehyde or other chemical irritants and no itching or skin irritation.

Natural Linoleum is not only long lasting but also recyclable; no glue is required for the “click-in-place” installation. Safety features include asthma and allergy friendly and dry dusting prevents allergen accumulation.

Cool Metal Roofing saves approximately thirty to forty percent on cooling and energy costs and lasts two to three times longer than conventional shingle roofs. A perk is that it is resistant to hail, wind and fire.

Energy Efficient Windows are a fantastic way to reduce heat loss and cooling costs, especially the Energy Star compliant windows which greatly reduce energy bills from between 7 to 24 percent. An excellent safety perk if you are worried about kids playing sports or if you live in a busy neighborhood is that the laminated glass reduces outside noise and stays in place if broken. You will still be annoyed by those footballs or golf balls but at least the people inside the house will be safe from the minimal impact of the broken glass.

Finally, there is Mold Resistant Wallboard or gypsum wallboard with a moisture resistant core that reduces risk of mold and wasteful replacement. An excellent safety perk is that it helps to keep indoor air quality at a healthy level.

So even if you are not able to implement all of these changes at once, it is a good start to keep some of these options in mind. Not only are you reducing your energy costs but keeping your family safe also.

City Ville Secrets–Tried and Trusted Strategy Guide

December 24th, 2010

Back to the social networking games for a bit but this time it is all about City Ville, whether for casual gamers or for people who have a lot more time on their hands, this guide is hands down the best and provides the most bang for the buck. Games like Farmville and Frontier Ville keep me at my computer for many hours each day when I am taking a break from writing about various other topics. However, the latest craze it seems is City Ville from the amazing guys over at Zynga.

Many people are making it through the high levels in a matter of hours and I was curious to know if this was simply a fluke or if there was some sort of strategy involved. I then came across a strategy guide by gaming guru Tony ‘T Dub’ Sanders and his guide called CityVille Secrets. According to him, it helped him make it from level 20-26 in 3 days! So I picked up a copy of City Ville Secrets and was pleasantly surprised by the tips I found in it.

You wouldn’t think there were so many ways you could screw up a virtual city, but believe me, you can. Since the guys at Zynga put so many man hours into creating this virtual city which is quite similar to a regular city, one only has to go to work during the day to be reminded how often we screw up in life. If you’re having trouble getting into the swing of things in CityVille well then the City Ville Secrets Strategy Guide is not a bad investment.
