Cinemechanix: Edges Re-Re-Visited
One thing that's always slightly bugged me about "make up any skill" systems (like QAGS and Cinemechanix) is that they tend to encourage generic skills over specific skills that are more relevant to the character. Let's say I have three characters: Inigo Montoya, The Man In Black, and Fezzik and they've each got 2 points to spend on Edges. Inigo Montoya puts his points in Swordsman, The Man In Black puts his into Melee Combat, and Fezzik puts his into Unarmed Combat. This makes Westley Inigo's equal in fencing, Fezzik's equal in unarmed combat, and for that matter Ash's equal in chainsaw fighting. While this actually makes perfect sense story-wise, most players are going to choose the Man in Black option and give Inigo and Fezzik Melee Combat 2 as well, which means that Inigo and Fezzik are equally matched whether they're fencing or wrestling or hitting each other with rabid badgers. Inigo and Fezzik could take 1 in Melee Combat and 1 in their specialty (so they're evenly matched with the Man in Black but not one another), but they're still kind of being punished for taking a skill that more accurately describes the character over one that's more useful.
In order to at least slightly incentivize choosing the more relevant skills, I'm actually stealing a mechanic from Anyworlds, the first game I ever wrote, which allowed two degrees of specialization. In Anyworlds they were called Specializations and Emphases, but I don't like those terms for Cinemechanix because they're very skill-centric and Edges aren't limited to skills. Also, I never liked "Emphasis" much anyway. I think it's because of the plural form sounds weird. I ended up going with "Tag" and "Focus."
So far Cinemechanix has been using quickie rules for character creation (you get a number of Edge bonuses equal to your Hero Factor), and in that system I'm not really sure how Tags and Focuses work (maybe you can just take them for free if you want them, or get ½ Hero Factor Tags and Focuses or something). For the latest version of the rules, though, I'm adding in a character point system that makes the theory work a little better. Here's a quick overview of the costs and mechanics:
- Edges cost 5 points and give you a dice bonus equal to the rating. So for 10 points you could buy Melee Combat with a +2 dice boost.
- A Tag gives you an additional die bonus. The first Tag for an Edge costs 2 points. If you want multiple tags, each beyond the first costs 2 extra points: 4 for a second Tag, 6 for a third, etc.
- A Focus costs 1 point and allows you to add your Hero Factor to the roll. In addition to making Tags and Focuses mechanically distinct, this gives the more specialized character a lot of bang for his buck [probably too much, see below]. You can only have 1 Focus per Tag.
So, let's look at how this works mechanically with Westley and Inigo (we'll assume Fezzik follows Inigo's lead, but with unarmed combat instead of swordsmanship). We'll give them each a Hero Factor of 6. If we assume they've both got Trademarks that apply to sword fighting, they're both rolling d20 + d6 before factoring in edges.
The totally cool dude who dresses all in black and is, like, a complete badass uses his 10 points to buy Melee Combat 2. That raises his Hero Die to d10, which means he'll roll somewhere between 2 and 30 with an average of 16. The standard deviation is 5.4, so most of Westley's rolls will fall in the 10-22 range.
The Spaniard spends 5 points on Melee Combat 1 and 2 points on a Tag of Swordsman. If he stops there, he'll roll the same as Westley for a sword fight but only a little less if they're punching each other (assuming he still gets his Trademark, he'd roll d20 + d8, for a range of 2-18, average of 15, and typical range of 10-20). Of course, he's not going to stop there. He's going to spend the extra character point for a Focus in Fencing, so now he's adding his Hero Factor to his swordfighting. That means he's rolling d20 + d10 + 6, which gives him a range of 3-36, an average roll of 22, and a typical range of 15 and 28. Plus he's got 2 character points left over to spend elsewhere.
And now that I look at the numbers, Focuses are too powerful. At this point, Inigo's average rolls are about the same as Westley's highest typical rolls, which kind of kills the "equally matched" premise. Since for some reason I feel that Cinemchanix needs to be able to recreate The Princess Bride, let's revise the Focus rule slightly.
New Rule for Focuses: Instead of adding Hero Factor, add a bonus die equal to your (unmodified) Hero Die.
With the change, Inigo now rolls d20 + d10 + d6 when he's swordfighting Westley. His range is still 3-36, but his average comes down to 19.5 and his typical roll will be between 14 and 25. Still a bit higher than The Man In Black, but Westley probably had some Acclaim saved up for that first fight scene. And once we get away from the Cliffs of Insanity, giving the character with more relevant skills a slight advantage fits with the original purpose of adding these rules to begin with.
There are still a couple of questions to consider here. Most obvious is whether this just encourages min/maxing in the other direction by taking a few Edges and giving each several Tags, each with a Focus. The other is whether this actually solves the problem without creating a structured skill list with a set hierarchy. If we leave it freeform, one player can have Guns as a Tag and Pistols as a Focus for his Veteran Edge, while another could takes Guns as his Edge with Pistols as a the Tag and Colt Desert Eagle as the Focus. The first character is much more versatile (Veteran can include a lot of non-gun rolls) and gets the same roll with any pistol that the more specialized character only gets with the Colt. Have I just added complexity without solving the problem? If so, does the complexity offer other benefits that make up for not solving the original problem? Those questions are going to take some unpacking, so I'll save them for next week.

By Dr. Mercola
Enzymes are most known for their importance in digestion, but they're actually necessary for all physiological processes.1 Enzymes, which are composed of amino acids, are secreted by your body to catalyze biological functions that otherwise would not occur at physiological temperatures, so they're absolutely vital for optimal health and life.
More than 3,000 different enzymes have been identified, and some experts believe there may be between 50,000 and 70,000 altogether. Each enzyme has a different function; they can be likened to specialized keys cut to fit individual locks. In this analogy, the locks are biochemical reactions. Here are just some of the activities in your body requiring enzymes:
Energy production
Removal of toxic waste
Absorption of oxygen
Dissolving blood clots
Fighting infections and healing wounds
Breaking down fats in your blood, regulating cholesterol and triglyceride levels
Reducing inflammation
Hormone regulation
Getting nutrients into your cells
Building raw materials and slowing the aging process
While catalyzing biochemical reactions, enzymes are not actually "used up" in the reaction. They merely assist and accelerate reactions, sometimes at a mind-boggling several million reactions per second. By lowering the amount of energy needed for a reaction to occur, they allow for reactions that otherwise would not be possible, or would be too slow to keep up with your body's demands.
Your stomach and pancreas create enzymes known as proteases or proteolytic enzymes,2,3 which break down dietary protein and protein-based foreign bodies. In your gut, they function as digestive aids; in your blood they act as blood cleansers that combat inflammation and rebalance your immune system by:4
1. Breaking down foreign proteins in your blood that cause inflammation
2. Facilitating the removal of inflammatory proteins via your blood stream and lymphatic system
3. Removing fibrin that prolongs inflammation. Fibrin is a clotting material that restricts blood flow, found both in your blood stream and connective tissue such as your muscles. Cancer cells also hide under a cloak of fibrin to escape detection. Once the cancer cells are "uncloaked," they can be spotted and attacked by your immune system. It is also thought that fibrin makes cancer cells clump together, which increases the chance for metastases.
Fibrin accumulation is also responsible for scar tissue in damaged muscle or at a surgical site. If the buildup is excessive, which can easily occur if your blood flow is poor due to low enzymatic activity, then the scar tissue may lead to chronic problems.
Excess fibrin is even involved in high blood pressure. When fibrin in your blood starts to restrict blood flow to crucial areas, your body compensates by increasing your blood pressure to push the blood where it needs to go. Excess fibrin in your blood also raises your risk for a heart attack and/or stroke. Symptoms of excess fibrin include: chronic fatigue, poor healing ability, inflammation, pain and high blood pressure
4. Reducing edema in inflamed region
5. Significantly increasing the potency of macrophages and killer cells
It follows, then, that any disease caused by inflammation and/or poor immune function — which is practically every chronic disease we face today, including cancer — can benefit from increased levels of functional enzymes in your blood. Indeed, proteolytic enzymes have been studied for a number of different conditions, and may be useful against:5,6,7,8
Shingles (herpes zoster)
Digestive problems
Inflammation and/or pain caused by sports injuries or trauma
Fibrocystic breast disease
Pancreatic insufficiency
Food allergies
Multiple sclerosis
Atherosclerosis (arterial hardening)
Rheumatoid arthritis
Hepatitis C
Sinusitis, asthma, bronchitis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Back pain
Chronic fatigue
High blood pressure
Herniated disc
Spinal stenosis
Sprains and strains
Postoperative scar tissue
Uterine fibroids
Bacterial, viral, mold and fungal infections
Heart attack and stroke
While your body does produce them, there are instances where a proteolytic enzyme supplement can be quite helpful. However, you have to make sure you're taking it properly to achieve the intended effect.
Interestingly, many viral genomes contain serine proteases, one of six classes of proteolytic enzymes produced in your body, and the enzyme's ability to break down the serine amino acid bonds in any given virus therefore also helps your body protect itself from a viral invasion. Proteolytic enzymes can also kill harmful bacteria, yeast and fungi. As explained in a report by nutraceutical researcher Jon Barron, director of the Baseline Health Foundation:9
"Just about everything that makes us sick is either a protein or is protected by a protein and is therefore subject to control by proteolytic enzymes. For example:
"Just about everything that makes us sick is either a protein or is protected by a protein and is therefore subject to control by proteolytic enzymes. For example:
Proteolytic enzymes have the ability to digest and destroy the protein based defense shield of each and every pathogen, allergen and rogue cell, thereby leading to their ultimate elimination. In addition, established cancers reprogram the production of enzymes in the body to both accelerate their own growth and protect themselves from the immune system. Supplemental proteolytic enzymes have the ability to alter that dynamic."

Supplemental proteolytic enzymes have the ability to alter that dynamic."
French researchers have also proposed that bacteria may play a significant, and possibly causative, role in coronary artery disease, and that proteolytic enzymes may help ward off heart attacks not only by lowering inflammation and breaking down fibrin, but also by killing harmful bacteria. This theory is highlighted in an article about systemic enzymes by Michael Sellar.10
Heart attacks and strokes are known to be related to inflammation, which is why C-reactive protein (an inflammatory marker) can be predictive of cardiac events. Interestingly, the researchers discovered high levels of bacteria in their patients' arterial plaques, suggesting this is why C-reactive protein becomes elevated.
C-reactive protein functions to stop the spread of bacteria in your body, and since enzymes inhibit platelet aggregation, help your immune system combat pathogens, and break down fibrin (which causes blood clots), proteolytic enzymes may offer significant benefits for vascular diseases like thrombosis, phlebitis and varicose veins. Sellar quotes enzyme researcher Rudolph Kunze:
"Although enzymes reduce inflammation and we used to think that was all they did, we now believe that the central target of systemic enzymes is the immune system. It is my belief that heart disease is an immune disease very much, although obviously not totally, related to bacterial pathogens and other invaders."
"Although enzymes reduce inflammation and we used to think that was all they did, we now believe that the central target of systemic enzymes is the immune system. It is my belief that heart disease is an immune disease very much, although obviously not totally, related to bacterial pathogens and other invaders."
The three primary proteolytic enzymes produced in your digestive system are pepsin, trypsin and chymotrypsin. Supplements that provide these particular enzymes are typically derived from cows or pigs. Other valuable proteolytic enzymes are found in fruits; papaya and pineapple being two of the best sources. Papayas contain the proteolytic enzyme papain, which has historically been used as a meat tenderizer, while pineapples contain the proteolytic enzyme bromelain, known for its ability to inhibit inflammation.
Its anti-inflammatory properties are in large part due to its ability to inhibit the migration of neutrophils (immune cells). Other foods containing proteolytic enzymes include kiwis, ginger, asparagus, sauerkraut, kimchi, naturally fermented (unpasteurized) yogurt and kefir. Regularly eating these foods will provide you with these important enzymes — and if you make sure to eat them between meals, on an empty stomach, they'll provide the systemic benefits discussed earlier.
A supplement, on the other hand, will provide these and other proteolytic enzymes in a more concentrated form, and may be beneficial if you're struggling with chronic pain or disease, and/or if you eat primarily processed foods, which are largely devoid of enzymes. When considering a supplemental proteolytic enzyme formula, look for the following specifications, and remember to take them away from meals:11
While proteolytic enzymes are well-tolerated and safe for long-term use in most people, there are exceptions. If any of the following scenarios apply to you, you should not take proteolytic enzymes:12
You're on prescription blood thinners such as Coumadin, Heparin or Plavix
You're having surgery within two weeks (as they can increase surgical bleeding)
You have a stomach ulcer
You're pregnant or lactating
You're currently taking antibiotics
You've had an allergic reaction to pineapple or papaya
If you're currently taking a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug for pain and want to add a systemic enzyme, be sure to take them at least one hour apart from each other. Systemic enzymes are in many ways preferable to painkillers since they effectively lower inflammation and support your body's innate ability to heal itself, while pain medication simply masks the symptoms while raising your risk for addiction and death.
Hopefully you can now appreciate just how important proteolytic enzymes are to your overall health, right down to the cellular level. Again, the many health benefits of systemic proteolytic enzymes stem from their ability to break down rogue proteins in your blood and soft tissues, thereby controlling inflammation throughout your body, repairing your cardiovascular system, optimizing blood flow, supporting your immune system and overall improving your body's ability to recuperate and heal.
One of the easiest ways to get more enzymes into your body is to eat plenty of fresh, ideally organic foods, especially fresh fruit and fermented foods, including fermented vegetables, raw egg yolks and traditionally cultured dairy products such as yogurt and kefir. Raw apple cider vinegar is another healthy source of beneficial enzymes.

Professional Development Opportunities
Initial Teacher Training
Teach East London work closely with University of London, Institute of Education to train the next generation of teachers through a number of routes including School Direct.
We are currently looking for ambitious, reflective trainee teachers who are aspirational for the students they work with and an inspiration to them. They should be creative, imaginative, forward thinking and committed to working collaboratively with others.
Find our training programmes on the UCAS website by entering our name (Teach East London Teaching School Alliance), postcode (E2 0NF) in the training provider search page.
For further information please contact email@example.com
Who are we?
Bonner Primary School works with Morpeth Secondary School as part of a Teaching School Alliance. Jointly we are named Teach East London.
Our strategic partners are:
- Bangabandhu Primary School
- Ben Jonson Primary School
- Chisenhale Primary School
- Clara Grant Primary School
- George Green's Secondary School
- Globe Primary School
- Hermitage Primary School
- John Scurr Primary School
- Langdon Park Secondary School
- Malmesbury Primary School
- Oaklands Secondary School
- Olga Primary School
- Phoenix Special School
- Rachel Keeling Nursery School
- Redlands Primary School
- Stepney Green Maths, Computing and Science College
Our HEI partner is the Institute of Education, University of London (IoE).
Our Rationale
The following section from our statement of application for Teaching School status summarises our rationale for wishing to form this alliance:
An alliance led by Bonner and Morpeth Schools is an opportunity to maintain and increase the recruitment of high quality teaching and support staff to support the needs of children and schools in Tower Hamlets. We will fully exploit our unique context to provide experience across a wide range of settings within very close geographical proximity: with our strategic partners we will offer experiences from nursery to post 16, in both mixed and single sex institutions including a special school.
The proposed alliance schools share a cross phase focus on literacy development beyond 1:1 interventions e.g. a specialist language unit in Globe Primary and a dedicated Speech and Language Team in Morpeth. Literacy is a national priority, but the specific needs in Tower Hamlets will remain in a society facing an increase in child poverty and deprivation. In this respect our broad experience of supporting pupils with special educational needs will be essential in supporting trainees' experience of planning and delivering lessons to support an extensive range of need. Also Morpeth and the secondary schools offer a broad range of specialisms; performing and visual arts, languages, maths and business studies.
Working with the IoE we are leading the development of a cluster approach towards the deployment of ITT students that will directly influence our teaching school work. We will offer joint Professional Studies to specifically meet local needs and we have the resources to facilitate this. Bonner and Morpeth Schools have dedicated training suites.
As 'outstanding' schools Bonner, Morpeth and our nursery, secondary and special school strategic partners have highly effective senior and middle leaders with experience of planning, co-ordinating and delivering ITT.
Bonner has already built capacity, through the revised management structure for the further development of ITT and other internal and outreach CPD.
- Teaching School Developments
- Teaching School developments so far include:
- the formation of a cluster group of schools within the Alliance, working within an enhanced relationship with the IoE, regarding Initial Teacher Education
- working with a 'Researcher-in-Residence', in liaison with the IoE
- a successful bid for a Teaching School 'Research & Development Grant'
- the instigation of a bespoke 'Mentor Training' course, facilitated by our key IoE link colleague
- becoming a Schools Direct Training Provider

When my car got towed, I needed money right away to get it out of the impound lot. The application and approval process at Cashback Loans took 30 minutes and I left, cash in hand, to get my car that same day.
I've been going to Cashback Loans for check cashing and advances for almost a year. Every time I come in, they remember my name and greet me like family. They keep track of all the transactions I've made with them and they usually know what I need the minute I walk in.
I wasn't able to visit one of the Cashback Loans locations to get my loan. I called them and they were able to process everything on the phone, quickly and securely.

Learn Generational Healing™
Intimate Experience.. Blown Away...Moved so Deeply... Fears and Doubts of Future Released
Freed from Knee Pain!
"Working with Crystal was an amazing experience. Before my Generational Healing™ session with her I was suffering with very bad knees. I could barely go up and down stairs. Knee surgery was in my future. After experiencing a healing with Crystal where knee problems in the ancestral line was healed I have no knee issues. They are flexible and without pain. This is a remarkable transformation. My eternal gratitude to Crystal for her love, caring and dedication to this incredible work and for giving me my mobility back and freeing me of this pain."
Finally Smiling and Happy with one Generational Healing™ Session
Relief from Painful Grief
"I have been transformed by our session. My heart is lighter, and the painful grief has lessened so much. I have given your name to several of my girlfriends, and hope you can help them as much as you have helped me." ~ Anonymous
Feeling Brighter & Happier
Right away I felt a connection and felt relieved immediately. I learned why I was feeling the way I felt and connected to an ancestor on my father's side. The connection was immediate and profound. I feel a happiness and lightness in my heart that I know my middle son is feeling too. He has no idea about Crystal. I have booked another session with her and am looking forward to it. People have told me that something is brighter about me and they have no idea about Generational Healing™.
Empowered by Honoring Self
"I attended a 2 day Soul Therapy Workshop that was life changing. I had several AHA's as Crystal guided us through the weekend. Crystal was amazing in how she helped me connect to my true self in a safe, loving environment. I am able to experience Honoring Myself and it so Empowering. I have more awareness of who I am and a greater sense of peace. I would recommend this to anyone who wishes to experience their authentic self. Thank you Crystal for what you do."
~ Kim
From Struggling to Flow
My whole life, anything that I've really wanted has always been an intense struggle- if not impossible for me to bring to fruition, that's what makes this whole experience different. The synchronicity and clarity of purpose I have gained is beyond anything I've ever experienced before. It makes me excited to wake up every day because I cannot wait for the next step, the next rung on my ever-growing ladder!
My Life Changed
When I first was introduced to my ancestors, I was amazed how much they knew about me and how point on Crystal was with her questions and comments. It was life changing for me. My life has changed so much, that words cannot express how grateful and blessed I feel. My confidence, happiness, and self-worth have grown. I have not felt joy like this. I see things differently than before. I can see more beauty in the world and appreciate more of the things that are around me. I even like waking up to the world. :) I am actually feeling more comfortable in my own skin, liking and loving myself more than I ever have. The smallest things in life bring me such joy and appreciation. I feel so much more connected to the universe and all that is. I feel alive. In my daily life, I am calmer, happier, less stressed etc. I am more present in the things that I do more often than I have ever been. It is like my love, joy, and compassion go into every little thing that I do, when I am present. Most of all, I feel the love and protection of my ancestors. Thank you Crystal.
The energy moved quickly
Wow! I have had a lot of energy work done and massages, but I have never felt the energy move this well, this fast. When I came in I had great pressure in my head. When I left, I felt much clearer. Also, I resonated with everything that was said and it felt amazing to be understood. Thank you! Divine Love to you!
New Understanding about Her Life
I have to admit that I am a little skeptical when it comes to something that I do not understand how it works. However, I recently experienced a Generational Healing™ session with Crystal. For as long as I can remember, I have experienced deep feelings of fear, uneasiness, worthlessness and negative thoughts.
Prior to the session, I literally prayed to my ancestors asking that someone would join the session in hopes of shedding some light on where these feelings came from. To say I was amazed about what I learned from my ancestor is a huge understatement. After hearing what my ancestor's life was like, it makes perfect sense where my feelings came from; it was as though much of what I was hearing, was my life!
I believe this is only the tip of the iceberg and I look forward to my future sessions with Crystal to learn more about myself. I believe this is a great way to help not only myself but my ancestors. I also believe this experience is a way for my healing to begin from the inside out.
THANK YOU, CRYSTAL!! I am a true believer and grateful for you and the work you do. If you long for answers as to why your life is what it is, Generational Healing™ will help more than you would ever believe possible!!!

Buying a home is such an exciting – and important – milestone. Unlike when you rent, becoming a homeowner lets you make the decisions and call all the shots.
How much is your house worth? Top 10 best tools to help you estimate your home's value:
Why Your Home's Value Matters
If you want to paint a wall bright green or install a hot tub and minibar in your bedroom, you don't need to ask permission. When you're a homeowner, the only person you answer to is yourself.
Outside of providing a place for your family to live, your home is an important part of your financial plan, too.
Here's why it matters:
- Investment value: Over time, your home should theoretically increase in value. This value doesn't mean a lot if your goal is paying off your home and living there forever, but it can be meaningful in the future.
- Borrowing power: This is especially true if you ever wind up borrowing against your home's value. If the value of your home increases significantly, you'll have a lot more leeway when it comes to taking out a home equity line of credit, or HELOC.
- Tax implications: "Keeping an eye on the market value and property tax assessment value is important so that you're not paying tax on an artificially inflated property value by mistake, or vice versa," says Minnesota Financial Advisor Jamie Pomeroy.
- Resell value: "If you are within 3 years of selling your home, you will want to keep tabs on the value and the real estate market in hopes that you can sell at an opportunistic time," says Jose V. Sanchez, financial advisor and contributor to LifeInsuranceToolkit.com.
- Estate planning: Finally, knowing your home's value can be important when it comes to estate and elder law care planning as well, notes Joseph A. Carbone, Jr., CFP Founder and Wealth Advisor of Focus Planning Group.
- Homeowners insurance: Don't overlook the fact that knowing the value of your home is critical to making sure you have enough homeowners insurance coverage.

Convinced? Here are websites that make the task of tracking your home's value easy and fun:
Top 10 Best Home Appraisal Websites
1. Zillow
Zillow is one of the biggest – and most popular – websites for monitoring your home's value. One financial advisor I spoke to, Joseph Carbone, says the best part about Zillow is the layout of the site and how easy it is to use.
Just by entering your home's value into the website's friendly interface, you'll get a Zestimate – a Zillow-created estimate of your home's value. Beyond finding out how much your home might be worth, you can also shop for homes in your area with the website's consumer-friendly tools.
2. Trulia
Trulia.com works similarly to Zillow. Once you reach the website, you can enter your address and learn how much your home might be worth. Instead of offering a Zestimate, however, Trulia offers the average listing price for similar homes in your area.
Other information offered on Trulia includes the average list price for all homes in your area, along with standard details on your home – square footage, lot size, and bed/bath information.
If you plan to refinance your home, Trulia is also ready to help with its own approved set of lenders.
3. Redfin
Another website that has become popular among real estate enthusiasts and homeowners is Redfin Estimate. With Redfin, you can enter a handful of details about any property and learn about the local neighborhood, the "walkability" of a property, and how much property taxes cost each year.
Plus, values might be slightly more accurate on this website, notes financial advisor Sanchez.
"As a broker, Redfin uses the most accurate data from the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) to calculate your property's current market value" – financial advisor Sanchez.
4. Realtor.com
While Realtor.com might sound like a hub for real estate professionals, this website is free for anyone to use. Just enter your address into the site's homepage and you'll learn an array of details including a price estimate of your home.
Beyond a pricing estimate, you'll find out about the local schools, median listing prices in the area, and even property tax assessments. This tool is also great for learning about your neighbor's home and how much they might be paying.
5. Real Estate ABC
Real Estate ABC links up with Zillow.com to provide the same Zestimate you'll receive there. What I really like about this site, however, is that it lists a ton of sales data for recent home sales in your area.
If a house sold down the street, you'll eventually be able to find out how much the buyer paid on Real Estate ABC. Since recent sales are the best indicator of your home's current value, this kind of data can be priceless.
Related article: Home Sweet Home: What is the True Cost of Having Your Own Home?
6. Eppraisal.com
Eppraisal.com works similarly to the other sites on this list, offering its own estimate of your home's value in certain cases and a Zillow.com Zestimate in others.
Beyond house prices though, Eppraisal offers details on homes sold nearby, plus current refinancing rates and more.
With Eppraisal.com, you can get all this data for free – and you don't even have to enter your email address.
7. HomeGain.com
While HomeGain.com is mostly a home shopping tool, one of their widgets lets you find the value of your own home for free. Just enter in your home zip code followed by your home address to find out what your home is worth now and how values have changed over the years.
The downside with HomeGain is that they require you to enter your email address to get "unlimited MLS data" for your area. Unfortunately, this usually means you'll end up on a huge mailing list – whether you like it or not.
8. Chase Mortgage Services
While this might seem strange, Chase Bank has their own home property value tool offered for free online. Simply enter your home address, your state, and your zip code to learn how much your home might be worth.
Instead of giving an exact estimate, Chase offers a price range they feel your home falls into. Since they also offer an estimate of all of your neighbor's home values, this is a fun tool to play around with. Best of all, it's free, easy to use, and doesn't require you to enter any personal data.
Real estate firm RE/MAX has also jumped in the game with its own home value estimator. While this is likely a ploy to get you to use their services when you sell your home, the online tool is free and easy to use.
Best of all, you don't have to enter any personal data or offer your email address to get a free estimate of your home's value.
Once you enter your address, you'll be presented with a color map of your neighborhood along with all of your neighbor's home values. Since real estate firms use MLS data to come up with estimates, this tool tends to offer a fairly realistic estimate of most home values as well.
10. ForSaleByOwner.com
While this site was created to help homeowner's advertise and market their own homes in lieu of a realtor, it offers several tools any homeowner can benefit from as well.
While you do have to register to use their Pricing Scout tool, it is free and easy to use. Once you sign up, you'll get an estimated market value of your home based on recently sold comparable properties in your area and a summary of local real estate characteristics.
The Bottom Line
Even if you don't plan to sell, watching your home's value increase over time can be a lot of fun. Fortunately, these websites and others let you watch your home's value grow without paying for the privilege.
Just remember not to take these estimates too seriously, as they don't necessarily reflect the exact value you'll receive if you sell.
If you want "the real thing" – as in, a price that reflects every factor that goes into a home's sales price – you should meet with at least 2 or 3 realtors to get price suggestions. Chances are, a realtor will be able to offer more insight into your local market than any online real estate tool ever could.
What is your favorite website for checking your home's value? Why is it your favorite?

Four months ago, the Conference Board's Consumer Confidence Index reached an 18-year high. Since then, consumer sentiment has deteriorated rapidly, leading some investors to wonder if a drop in confidence could eventually lead to a downturn.
As shown in the LPL Chart of the Day, the U.S. economy has entered a recession an average of 19 months after a peak in consumer confidence, and a drop in sentiment has been a warning sign for past economic cycles. While confidence shifts can be meaningful obstacles to economic activity, we think the severity of the current decline is due, in part, to temporary factors such as the government shutdown, and the pieces are still in place for sentiment to stabilize.
Over the past several months, U.S. consumer sentiment has had to weather increasing trade risk, a 35-day government shutdown, disconcerting headlines on geopolitical issues, a slowdown in global growth, and a near bear market in the S&P 500 Index. Many of these headwinds have understandably chilled confidence, and their collective impact can be intimidating.
However, we think these headwinds will subside in the near term, if they haven't already. Trade tensions have had a widespread effect on corporate sentiment and economic activity, but we expect a U.S.-China trade resolution soon, which could help. Government shutdowns, especially when prolonged, have historically dampened consumer sentiment, but economic activity typically has rebounded quickly after shutdowns.
"While the current environment is uncomfortable, the steep drop in confidence is exaggerated given favorable economic conditions," said LPL Research Chief Investment Strategist John Lynch. "We expect strong fundamentals to prevail over the near-term headwinds."
We believe solid fundamentals are especially important this late in the business cycle. The bulk of economic data we've seen lately has been sound, corporate earnings are at record levels, and policy is still accommodative. We also have yet to see any alarming signs of late-cycle excesses or "red flags," which have doomed expansions in the past.

LowCards.com Weekly Credit Card Update–June 26, 2015
Who's Addicted to Mobile Banking
Are consumers addicted to mobile banking? Well, if pulling out a mobile phone to check a bank account balance during dinner–and even on a date–qualifies as addictive, then the answer is yes. A Chase-commissioned survey shows that when it comes to digital banking trends, consumers are more addicted to online banking sites than mobile apps, but that the trend is slowly shifting. The survey results for 1,502 U.S. consumers over 18 (not specifically Chase customers), showed that 33 percent more consumers are using their mobile device to access a mobile banking app, compared with a year ago. But online banking is seeing stronger growth too, as that figure is up 35 percent on the year. And, interestingly, 16 percent more consumers have visited a bank. Story in PYMNTS.
New Chip Credit Cards Putting Squeeze on Small Businesses
New credit and debit cards with computer chips are putting the squeeze on small businesses. The cards being rolled out by banks and credit card companies are aimed at reducing fraud from counterfeit cards. As chip cards are phased in, magnetic stripe cards, which are easier for thieves to copy, will be phased out. Businesses of all sizes face an Oct. 1 deadline to get new card readers and software that can handle chips. Most estimates of transition costs for small companies vary from the low hundreds to tens of thousands of dollars due to the wide range of equipment used. If businesses don't meet the deadline set by companies including MasterCard, Visa and American Express, they can be held liable for transactions made with phony chip cards. The switch to new chips in credit and debit cards poses a threat for small companies because they can't get the volume discounts on the new equipment that big retailers get. And they don't have in-house tech experts to install the new systems. Story by Joyce Rosenberg for the Associated Press.
Consumers Still Confused about their Credit Scores
The vast majority of Americans (90%) recognize the importance of having access to credit. But a significant percentage (52%) of adults do not understand the most influential factors that go into a credit score, and almost 40% do not know their personal credit score. People who consistently check their score have a better perspective of a "good" credit score. Those who had previously checked their scores said 719 was "good" on average, while those who never check their score said it was 668. Of those surveyed, only 37% said their current scores will help them achieve their personal goals. Two out of three respondents would like to be able to improve their credit score during the next year, but only 35% have a plan they feel will allow them to do so. In fact, 22% admit they have never taken any steps to improve their score. Story by John Oldshue for LowCards.com.
Credit Card Firm Synchrony Financial Uses Analytics to Help Retailers Clinch Deals
Synchrony Financial, the $12 billion credit card company spin-off from General Electric, plans a September launch of personalized pricing and other mobile offers for shoppers. Synchrony handles private-label credit cards for Gap and other retailers and merchants. The analytics work reflects the central role IT groups can now play in building revenue-generating products and services. Story by Kim Nash for The Wall Street Journal.
India's Government Proposes Income Tax Benefits for Debit/Credit Card Payments
India is looking to incentivise the use of credit and debit cards by offering tax rebates to merchant establishments and consumers, making high-value transactions mandatory through electronic means and imposing an additional levy on cash payments above a certain level to curb black money. The finance ministry has prepared a draft discussion paper proposing benefits such as an appropriate tax rebate or a 1-2% reduction in value added tax for establishments that accept electronic payments. Story in The Economic Times.
UK Debit Cards are a Scandalously Easy Target for US Fraudsters
It's tempting to see credit and debit card fraud as an old-world problem nobody is interested in these days but every now and then a pattern jumps out of the morass of statistics that deserves our attention. A prime example is the volume of debit card fraud (i.e not including credit card fraud) being heaped on UK card-holders from the US, both against people visiting the US and, unbelievably, people who have never been there in their lives. According to a large sample of fraud looked at by US analytics organization FICO, the US accounted for almost half of all fraudulent cross-border transactions on UK debit cards during 2014 despite being a distant third on the list of total transactions. FICO didn't break down US fraud by type in much detail, but the vast majority of these fraudulent transactions were card-not-present frauds carried out from the Internet or by phone. Cross-border fraud is a big deal, accounting for a third of all theft from the 52 million UK cards FICO sampled. Story by John E. Dunn for Tech World.
Green Dot Retains Wal-Mart MoneyCard Account
Green Dot reached an agreement with Wal-Mart Stores to continue as the issuing bank for the retailer's prepaid reloadable debit card program for an additional five years. The companies had worked together on Wal-Mart's MoneyCard program since its 2006 inception, but Green Dot shares have declined 25% so far this year through Monday's close, partly on concerns about the possibility of losing the business. The new term, which became effective May 1, replaces an agreement that was already extended to the end of the year. Green Dot also worked with the retailer on last year's rollout of a checking account service called GoBank, which doesn't charge overdraft fees, unlike other the banks housed within the retail giant. Story by Josh Beckerman for The Wall Street Journal.
Atom is a New UK Bank That'll Have No Branches, Just Apps
Banking is a bit of an old boys' club dominated by a few huge, lumbering corporations, but up-start Atom thinks it's time for a new player with a different approach. Atom wants to take mobile banking seriously; so seriously, in fact, that it aims to exist almost solely as a mobile app. The company has just been granted a UK banking licence and plans to launch later this year, first using mobile apps to offer its services before graduating to desktops in due course. Atom will have a 24-hour support team available by phone, email, webchat and social networks, but the idea is you can do everything, even open an account, from within the mobile app. Story by Jamie Rigg for Engadget.

Finally I publish a game under my long-time un-used Google Market Account.It is a fun Puzzle game. You need to get the blue coins to the goal without hitting the vortexes or the red coins. You can kill the red coins by pushing them into the vortexes.Try not to use brute-force. Space out the coins using the bricks and things will get a lot simpler.
I did it using Andengine. It an undocumented engine but the forums more than make up for it. Its very active and has some helpful people too. The tutorials that you get by a google search are mostly outdated and uses older andengines which are no longer in use. The best resource to learn it is by looking at the examples and the forum. The flow is pretty easy to understand. After a lot of hours of debugging concurrency issues, forum reading , its done. More than programming the game designing the levels took a lot of time . I created a level designer based on python tkinter which is also included . Create a level and save it as the next consecutive number under assets/level/ and recompile and run it.
Here are some screenshots.
Here is the link to the code : https://github.com/jujojujo2003/Collide
You need tkinter for python to run the level creator.


text: One of my photographer friends has decided that she no longer wants to do newborn photography. So she's referring her clients to me 🙂 This is one of her dear friends…who also happens to know some of MY dear friends. Small world. This is baby number four for her, and her mother in law was VERY excited about it. So excited, in fact, that she paid for her session…and a mini session for the whole family for a Christmas card. Isn't that amazing? While we were talking about when to do the photo session for the family, we realized that her mother-in-law would be in town for a few days and we could photograph the family then. Unfortunately, it was REALLY cold outside that day. But we did it anyway and did it VERY quickly. Grandpa was nice enough to let the twins borrow his jacket for a little while. They thought it was pretty fun 🙂

We need your commitment to attend the vote next week!
One thing that was glaring at this week's hearing was how vastly gun safety advocates were outnumbered - by about 50 to 1 - by supporters of the NRA and gun manufacturers committed to preventing any new legislation no matter how reasonable. We know that this does not accurately reflect the views of New Jersey citizens - who do support common sense gun regulations like those being propsed by wide margins of up to 75%.
RSVP for bus to Trenton to attend the vote
Bus Transportation available to Trenton:
BlueWaveNJ is arranging for bus transportation to make it easier for supporters from norther New Jersey to travel to Trenton Thursday. Ther will be two pick-up locations: in West Orange, and just off the Garden State Parkway, Exit 135 (Clark/Westfield), Target parking lot.
RSVP to reserve a seat on the bus Thursday
DATE: Thursday February 21
TIME: Departures at 9:30 AM (W.O.) & 9:45 AM (GSP)
MEET: Essex Green Plaza, West Orange - depart at 9:30 AM - OR -
Garden State Parkway off Exit 135 (Clark/Westfield) - depart 9:45 AM
COST: $15 per person
Arrive NJ Statehouse at 11:00am
Assembly session begins at 1:00pm
Bus will leave Trenton following the Assembly vote; we should return to northern NJ by 6:00pm at latest.
Commit to be on the bus now
Legislation like this is what we ask for when we rally and march and write and call. Many states hold rallys and receive nothing from their legislators in return. Ours have shown tremendous courage and strength in acting swiftly and strongly on our behalf, and we must support them by being in the Statehouse on Thursday for this vote. It is so important that we show our elected officials that we will support them for supporting us!

Chiclets Peppermint Gum
Flavor : It's difficult to call our assessments of classic gums "reviews," because it's really hard to give something that's lasted the test of time in an increasingly competetive field less than a stellar rating. This gum might not taste as peppermint-y as Orbit, Stride, Extra, or any number of new, improved brands of gums. It might leave that undersirable sugary aftertaste in your mouth even as you're chewing. It definitely won't freshen your breath. But it's like comparing Godzilla with Iron Man– one might look better on your plasma screen, but there's just no real way to compare a classic with a Blockbuster hit. Chiclets are crunchy and sugary and gummy, they're not good or bad they're just– Chiclets.
Texture : To be fair, the actual serving size for Chiclets is two pieces, and it is a substantial wad when chewing two pieces (whereas just one Chiclet dissolves to almost nothing within minutes of chewing). The firmness is consistent throughout a lengthy chew, but it does create a slight foaming of saliva after a while. But again, the ingredients are basic, and the texture is fairly impressive given the circumstances.
Presentation : It's a classic Adams package, simple, recognizable. You know what to look for when you're looking for Chiclets.
Overall : Apparently, Chiclets aren't widely available in the U.S. anymore, but they're pretty popular in the Middle East. Luckily, we received some samples from our friend at BestCandyStore.com. As with all tried and true gums that have lasted, unchanged, in the marketplace against gimmicks and chemical advancements and flashy packaging, Chiclets have made a mark and don't have to prove anything to us anymore. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. If you want a super hydrating, minty, flashy pack of gum to match your outfit, there are plenty of gums for you. But if you want a sugary crunch in that old familiar box, pick up a pack of Chiclets.
Rating : ooooo (five gumballs )

I can hear people saying, why another update so close to the major update of WordPress 3.5. Reason being, when there is major updates, to a script, as there was with 3.5, some bugs are found when the script is released to the general public. These might have slipped by in the beta version.
WordPress 3.5.1 fixes 37 bugs and some security issues. See the list here
I would suggest you update your script, immediately, especially as there is security issues. Please remember to backup your files and database.

The new year has started and its time for creative brands and businesses to re-focus intentions on shaping the future.
At our recent breakfast talk, we explored the five key principles to de-clutter your mind, structure your thinking and inform a successful business year.
2017 is all about re-framing and re-focussing.
The importance of focus in an age of distraction. A shift towards meaning and stripping away non-essentials.
People start to understand the impact of being always-on and constantly distracted has on our ability to focus.
Securing attention is becoming harder than ever. Unlike other commodities, attention is fixed. People are looking to optimise, feel better, focus. Businesses are responding to this need to aid greater focus and clarity.
"The true scarce commodity of the future will be human attention."
- Satya Nadella, Microsoft CEO
A key focus this year is finding clarity in creating a unique and distinctive customer experience. Creating clear propositions and constructing a unique experience.
Retail formats will become ever more distinct: expect to see further divergence between fast convenient spaces that serve time pressured consumers and immersive formats that engage audiences' leisure time.
A split between fast and slow, dual experiences sitting side by side that cater to the emerging split between 'let me explore' and 'get it for me'.
Informed and Intelligent spaces and experiences using data and AI.
Retailers begin to invest in highly intelligent technology in order to create more personalised, measures and intuitive experiences.
AI algorithms are helping consumers to find the perfect items that they didn't know about.
Places and spaces which bring focus and attention to the present moment through activity and performance.
Bringing focus to the present moment through entertainment, activity, performance and creativity. Tech-assisted store concepts will fuel and display brands' media activity.
At a time when consumers are spending more time and money on experiences than on material goods, brands are turning up the tempo by hiring experiential technologists to engage with their audience.
Set your intentions to help provide focus and clarity with insight, in order to successfully activate the customer experience.
Shape your experience strategy...

ground breaking concepts. Drop me an email at firstname.lastname@example.com

Needed to get the infamous oil cooler/filter assembly replaced. Didn't have time to spend the day doing it on my own so I sought out the experts. Thanks for the help.
I just purchased a 2019 Ram from Matt at Cross and couldn't be happier with the buying process. Quick, Easy, and Out the door.
