|How to localize an addon
This tutorial will walk you through adding localization to your addon.
What is localization?
Localization is the process of making sure that your addon works in all locales (regions of the world where different languages are used), and that people who dont speak your language can still understand and use your addon.
Sometimes localization is required for an addon to even work in another locale. For example, if youve written an addon to play a sound when you mouse over a Peacebloom, your addon needs to know what text is shown in the tooltip in other languages. The tooltip shows Peacebloom in your English game client, but it shows a different word or phrase in a Spanish game client, or a Chinese one. If your addon only looks for the word Peacebloom, it wont work in other languages. By localizing your addon, you can make it look for the right word or phrase for the language in which its user is playing WoW.
Other times, your addon might work fine in other locales, but still isnt very usable, because all the text is in English and someone who only speaks French cant understand it. For example, if your addon has an options window, localization would mean adding translations of the text shown for those options, so that German and Russian users can understand what the options do just as easily as English users.
If you simply want to copy and paste some code, feel free to do that. If you want to learn more about how it works, read on after the code for details.
Step 1: Create a translation table
Add a file to your addon named Localization.lua", containing this:
local _, namespace = ... local L = setmetatable({}, { __index = function(t, k) local v = tostring(k) rawset(t, k, v) return v end }) namespace.L = L local LOCALE = GetLocale() if LOCALE:match("^en") then return end if LOCALE == "deDE" then -- German translations go here L["Hello!"] = "Hallo!" return end if LOCALE == "frFR" then -- French translations go here L["Hello!"] = "Bonjour!" return end if LOCALE == "esES" or LOCALE == "esMX" then -- Spanish translations go here L["Hello!"] = "¡Hola!" return end if LOCALE == "ptBR" then -- Brazilian Portuguese translations go here L["Hello!"] = "Olá!" return end if LOCALE == "ruRU" then -- Russian translations go here L["Hello!"] = "ÐÑивеÑ!" return end if LOCALE == "koKR" then -- Korean translations go here L["Hello!"] = "ìë íì¸ì!" return end if LOCALE == "zhCN" then -- Simplified Chinese translations go here L["Hello!"] = "æ¨å¥½!" return end if LOCALE == "zhTW" then -- Traditional Chinese translations go here L["Hello!"] = "æ¨å¥½!" return end
Add the path to this file in your addons TOC file, above any other files where localization will be needed.
Step 2: Localize text using the translation table
First, get a reference to the translation table at the top of each file where you will need to use it:
local ADDON_NAME, namespace = ... local L = namespace.L
DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("Hello!") MyFontString:SetText("Hello!") local text = string.format("You have %d cats and 1 %s.", 5, "dog")
DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage(L["Hello!"]) MyFontString:SetText(L["Hello!"]) local text = string.format(L["You have %d cats and 1 %s."], 5, L["dog"])
Often, if you simply add a note to your addons download page indicating that youre looking for translations, and for which languages, people who use your addon and speak one of those languages will happily supply you with translations.
There are also people who may not use your addon personally, but are active in a language-specific WoW community. For example, there is a large Chinese WoW community with many people who just like translating addons so that other Chinese players can use them.
Simple words and phrases can often be translated with a machine-translation service like Google Translate, or be constructed by looking at the Blizzard global strings for other locales. (Though, if the complete word or phrase you want to use already exists as a global string, you should just use the global string in your addon, instead of copying and pasting the translated strings into your translation table.)
If you use SVN for your addon, keeping the repository open and including the repository URL along with your requests for translations may yield better results, as translators can simply commit their translations without anyone having to copy and paste code through PMs or forum posts.
If your addon is hosted on CurseForge/WowAce, you can also use their localization app to provide a web-based method for accepting translations. If you are using a CurseForge/WowAce repository for your addon code, you can automatically pull in new translations. Otherwise, you can easily export new translations and copy/paste them into your addon.
How it works
The core of this simple localization solution is a metatable, a special feature of Lua tables that allows you to specify custom behaviors on the table.
In this case, we are using a metatable index so that when we look up a key in the translation table that doesnt exist, instead of returning a nil value, a custom function runs that transforms the given key name into a string, adds the given key name to the translation table with the string as its value, and then returns the string.
The beauty of a metatable is that it does not require any special checks or extra function calls every time you want to show a localized string. The index function only runs when we look up a key that doesnt already have a value; under normal circumstances, getting a translation requires only a simple table lookup.
1. local L = setmetatable({}, { __index = function(t, k) 2. local v = tostring(k) 3. rawset(t, k, v) 4. return v 5. end })
The rest of the code simply checks for the users current language, using the GetLocale WoW API function, and then adds the appropriate translations to the table.
We dont need to specifically add the English words and phrases, because those are the defaults. If we look up L["Goodbye!"] while playing WoW in English, the first time causes the __index function to add a Goodbye! key to the translation table with the value "Goodbye!, and any subsequent lookups will find the Goodbye! key and its value. If we were to add English words and phrases, it would just be a lot of lines like this:
L["Hello!"] = "Hello!" L["Goodbye!"] = "Goodbye!"
This also means that when you add a new word or phrase to your addon, it wont instantly break the addon for users in other languages. Of course, without actual translations, the new feature you added the word for might not work (because its looking for Peacebloom instead of Botão-da-paz or ÐиÑоÑвеÑ) or users in other languages might not be able to understand what the new option does (because it says Do something! instead of Tun Sie etwas! or ë*ê°ë¥¼ í´ì£¼ì¸ì!), but at least your addon will still load, and wont confuse your users with cryptic Lua error messages.
Questions? Comments? Suggestions?
If you need help implementing the code featured in this guide, or if you dont understand something and would like clarification, feel free to post a thread in the WoWInterface Lua/XML Help forum or the WowAce Lua Code Discussion forum.
If you have technical comments, corrections, or suggestions for improving this guide, feel free to send me a private message on this site, or on WowAce.
Please do not send me private messages asking for help with the code in this guide, or with any other code questions. I do not provide private support or tutoring, and I will not answer your questions via private message. At best, you will receive a generic form response with links to the Lua help forums listed above. I do not have time to help everyone on a one-on-one basis for free, and I believe that providing this kind of help privately is against the spirit of a community like WoWInterface anyway. Not only will you get an answer on the forums, but your question and the answer will be available to instantly help anyone else who has the same question tomorrow, or even a year from now.

Being on the beach, and the staff was so kind and helpful
|May 29, 2014 Robert California, United States
Our guide and I'm sorry, but I forget her name. She was extremely friendly and telling us about the local area. She also found the perfect horse for my 17 year old son who has never rode and for myself. I had a couple bad experiences with horses in the past, but she found the perfect horse for me to ride.
Our family enjoyed the beach ride. It was relaxing and fun and I would love to do it again.
|May 15, 2014 DEBBY California, United States
They tailor the ride to meet the individual's ability and type of ride they wish to go on. You have the choice of riding in the redwoods, the beach or both.
The staff is friendly and very eager for you to have an enjoyable experience. Best riding facility I have ever been to. There are no negatives with this promotion.
|May 08, 2014 Linda California, United States
Fun experience. Very friendly staff.
|May 04, 2014 John California, United States
The guide, Gina, was absolutely charming and knew her horses well. We had no trouble with the horses she picked for us. All of the scenery on the ride was gorgeous. I was mesmerized by the surf on the beach and if I didn't have to pay attention to my reins, I probably would still be there.
This is a top notch ranch that I highly recommend for first timers or several timers!

There was a buzzy sphere of groundbreaking technology surrounding the Topshop Unique show today (with their model-cam live footage - you could practically BE Cara Delevingne), but, ever loyal, our eyes are always on the main prize - the clothes. And unlike most of LFW's rosta, Unique's price points mean we start mentally slotting looks into our actual (not fantasy) wardrobes there and then. Aside from a frow-ogling of gigantic proportions (One Direction's Louis and an understated Kate Bosworth in grey) we were enchanted by the Topshop girl's mix'n'match approach to dressing for autumn.
With the Kate Phelan (a woman who exudes je nais se quois by the bucketload) well into her creative direction after leaving Vogue for Topshop in 2011, it's no shock that her thoroughly modern tack was taken for this fall line. Forget the more gimmicky of Unique shows passed and instead think of all those street style looks you like the most - they're usually a game of contrasts, right? Well, that's how the show felt: genuine and not regimentally heading in one direction (ha!).
A savvy Toppers girl can choose to be soft and feminine one day, gliding by in dusty pinks, mohair jumpers and teddybear shearling coats, but the next she's kicking up some dust in a don't-mess retro-look red patent mac. Then there's the dark and moody in-between days, where only the best black clothes in touch-me texture clashes will do.
There's a heck of a lot to choose from and if we were any good at saving up, this is the top five we'd hold back some pennies for...
1. White shearling biker jacket - and the pink sequinned skirt to match.
2. The splicing of nana-ish patterned knits with a fetishtitic patent skirt.
3. Jordan Dunn's finale look - a burgundy sequinned jumpsuit
4. Pink strappy courts. Even the toughest boyish type could find these covetable when you tot up the extensive range of winter pinks on the AW13.
5. The ultra simple lilac-grey overcoat. So chic it didn't even have buttons!

STS*: Sunday Test Is Getting Leon TackledPosted by on November 10, 2012 – 11:44 am
The Jets will run into a familiar face Sunday at CenturyLink Field when they take on the Seattle Seahawks. Leon Washington spent the first four years of his NFL career as a part of the Jets and is now in his third season with this week's opponent from the NFC West.
Washington was traded by the Green & White to Seattle in the spring of 2010 for a fifth-round draft pick. Despite no longer being with the franchise, he remains the Jets' career leader with four kickoff-return touchdowns.
"I always said I was glad Leon was on my team because then I didn't have to try and tackle him," Jets safety Eric Smith said this week. "Leon is good when he has the ball in his hands, he's good at making people miss, so it's going to be a challenge for us on our returns to get him tackled."
Washington ranks sixth in the NFL with an average of 29.1 yards on 15 returns this season. In 2008 he played in the Pro Bowl after leading the NFL with 1,606 all-purpose yards. The next year, his last with the Jets, he played in seven games before his season was cut short by a compound fracture of his fibula during the win at Oakland.
"I remember when I got traded, Rex came and talked to me and said, 'Look, Leon, we have to pay a bunch of guys, Nick Mangold, David, Harris' — I remember him saying the names — 'Darrelle Revis,' and stuff like that," he recalled. "It's a business, so I understand it. I was thankful that I had the opportunity that they drafted me in the first place. It was awesome."
Jets special teams coordinator Mike Westhoff said he wasn't involved with the team's decision in not bringing Washington back. These days he notices Washington on Seattle highlights but doesn't study him to the extent he once did.
"If you watch their first game that they played this year," Westhoff said, "he broke the long kickoff and the long punt. He looks pretty good to me. He looks very solid. I have a lot of respect and I think he's a darn good football player."
Smith said he hasn't talked with his former teammate in quite some time but is looking forward to reuniting with him Sunday. He hasn't forgotten all of Washington's big runs and kickoff returns.
"He's done well," Smith said. "You don't hear about it much. But we keep up on him and it looks like every game he's almost breaking one."
Washington said he stays in contact with the Jets on Twitter and usually reconnects with tackle D'Brickashaw Ferguson and Revis in the offseason. He doesn't hold any grudges toward his former team and is happy with the way things turned out.
"There's no added attention to me playing the Jets," he said. "Honestly — and I'm very serious when I say this — we're concerned about what we're doing out here. We have a really good football team and we're trying to put things together. So we're not too concerned about our opponent. We're prepared for them but we're concerned about doing things we need to do in order for us to win the game.
"Would I like to return a kickoff for a touchdown against the Jets? Yes. Would I like to return a kickoff for a touchdown against the 49ers, the Rams or whoever it may be? Yes."

It appears that Washington, unlike the Jets, is not living on past accomplishments but concentrating on now. Hey, wait no one asked Tebow what he thought of Washington.

JetBlue, ELI, Charliejet, Jersey Rich, I see you also posted regarding my need to cut down on Jets banter given what looms in 2013, so thanks very much for your kind thoughts and same to anyone that I missed. (My real problem is I have to try to learn Spanish and Portuguese fast, and there are only so many hours in the week.) Two last things for now (or at least until Monday morning, by which time mistakes made vs SEA will probably be driving me too crazy to stay off the site): Yeah, scjoe, Rio's is nice place to do business but I don't think I'd live there minus armed guards, same for a lot of Baja. But you're right, GaryC, an NFL franchise in Mexico or South America is a great idea!

Oh, one more thing for you folks, I can't resist: One of my oldest friends from back in District 26 (Little Neck/Douglaston/Bayside/Whitestone) has lived in Madison, Wisconsin for 35 yrs. So though he also roots a little for the Pack, he remains a die-hard Jet fan and his jock teenage daughter roots for the Green and White exclusively. (Brave lass!) A few weeks ago a girl at school said to his daughter, "Hey, it's Halloween, what's Mark Sanchez going to go as, a quarterback?"

Kyle Wilson is officially a bust,getting beat by Golden Tate labels you that way,and by the way if David Harris is a great linebacker how did he not bring down Tate who was jumping over a jet defender and had no momentum and still stood up to Harris's attempt at tackling him.

Revision as of 15:48, 13 August 2013
Societies must face the fact that even though your seminar is your main event of the year, and you know it will be a smash hit, there is a lot more going on in the area.
Think about how many times you've read or heard an advertisement for a chain restaurant's seafood night, the department store's semi-annual sale, or the upcoming home improvement show at the civic center.
How can your event compete against these big budget publicity campaigns? Read on for more ideas.
Plan Ahead
Contact the speaker twelve to twenty-four months in advance. Planning ahead is the key to everything. Some societies contact a speaker and look for a meeting site about six months in advance of the meeting date. This does not allow enough time to do everything right, to publicize it fully, and to generate enough attendance to break even. If the event is in need of a large meeting site and the idea is to have a national-level speaker, this may mean beginning twelve to twenty-four months ahead of the event date.
Many meeting places and speakers are booked well in advance; for larger meeting sites there is the competition of weddings, conventions, graduations, business meetings, and other events.
Involve others in the planning process. If the society is a small group, use some regular meeting time to discuss future program topics and speakers.
If your society is large, utilize written surveys to garner program, speaker and meeting site ideas. It is important to stress that you are gathering ideas and that costs and availability are important factors which the program committee or society board must take into consideration. You might also read the newsletters and announcements of other societies and the syllabi from national conferences for more program ideas.
Be Cautious
Protect yourself as the program chair as well as your society with contracts or letters of agreement with the speaker detailing arrangements, travel, topics, lodging, fees, and with the meeting site and audio visual provider. Most meeting sites and national speakers have their own contracts.
This will help with your attendance as things will go more smoothly overall, and people will feel comfortable. If things are well run, the registrants will return next year. The speaker will let other speakers know your society is well run.
Publicity is a Major Key
Another reason for early planning is so you can advertise. A brochure or flyer with only a date but no speaker, topics or meeting site, doesn't exactly cause excitement.
I have seen too many event flyers or newsletter announcements with speaker names or topics TBA. Get the event and go online early to catch those who spend their research time online. Think about what you are selling (yes, I said selling): the speaker, topics, parking (free, plentiful, or at least the location and cost are well explained) and amenities. What about access by public transportation?
A person who sees the brochure or newsletter might not attend this year, but who now knows about your group and saw the words "annual" seminar or "monthly" meeting.
Use the "free" advertising which can be obtained via the Federation of Genealogical Societies and the National Genealogical Society in their newsletters. There are many event websites, your own society website, and bulletin boards and flyer racks around the region. You never know who might see that notice and know they will be visiting your city on vacation or while on a business trip and can attend the event.
Think about the number of brochures or flyers, places to put them and plans to restock. Intrigue and excite the possible attendees before they come, while they are there, and afterward.
Use an early registration incentive; perhaps more door prize chances? How about significantly lower fees? Then, have higher registration fees the two weeks before the event and at the door, if space is still available.
Is it different from recent programs? Stress that. Do you sell the speakers and the topics? You may have heard Susan Q. Brown speak and know she'll be a big hit with your society, but do most of the prospective registrants know who she is and her special talents? Tell them!
Does your society keep a mailing list or use
broadcast emails for advertising seminars and regular meetings? Do you add new members, purchasers of books, class registrants, people who sign in at the local library's genealogy room; and people whose names appear in the local newspaper who have some historical interest? Take every opportunity to add to your mailing list.
After the event, do those who didn't come read the rave reviews in the newsletter, along with information on next year's big event? They might put it on their calendar so they won't miss next year. Do they know how many freebies were available or about the many vendors selling genealogy publications and software? This also reminds the recent registrants about the great day they experienced.
Does the advertising list a website, email address, or telephone number for more information? Do you mention the brown bag lunch area and include a list/map of area restaurants? Is there a prepaid luncheon or box lunch?
Do you have some rave reviews from other places your speaker has lectured? Ask for permission to print a couple of those in your advertising.
Schedule a free session at the end of the day. It could be from 3:30 to 4:30 as a Q & A panel (you might even be able to arrange to have the day's speaker participate). Invite (with a complimentary registration) a couple of area librarians or archivists to the seminar. Build this into each event budget. If they know about the event, they may then mention it to their patrons.
Hold Their Hands
Even though the genealogists should be able to find a tombstone in the middle of a cornfield, they still need help for the meeting. Does the advertising clearly tell where and when the event will take place? Do the directions or map get them to the place?
Ride along with someone who has never been to the meeting place to see if they can find it from your directions before they get into print.
Does the advertising clearly sell the activities, time schedule, refreshments, vendors selling historical and genealogical books and supplies, and the tons of freebies a volunteer has accumulated? Will there be a sale of white elephant genealogical books and CDs?
Have outdoor signs for the parking lot entry, on building doors, and inside, so people know that they are at the right place and can easily find everything? Remember that many of us need signs and maps that are easy to read.
Will the event fulfill the social aspect reason that brings some of the registrants?
Other Preparations in Advance
Make a list of what you need that day: first aid kit, scissors, paper, markers, tape, extension cord, etc. If you and the event seem prepared, those in attendance will sense it and feel more relaxed, enjoy their day, and be more likely to return.
Work the angles. If your city's mayor is a genealogist, present a free registration and inform the newspaper. Listen to the local radio hosts; catch some ideas of their passions in life. Maybe it's historic building preservation or the river, or something that when you have a lecture on it be sure to send a flyer. Maybe some on-air publicity will come.
Look at the newspaper columnists. What are their interests? Do you have members who can post flyers at work? I have left behind a flyer on the table with magazines when I leave the doctor's office. Give your new cemetery publication to the historical society and maybe they'll mention your next event in their newsletter.
Does Every Seminar or Meeting Feel the Same? Get Out of the Rut
Have you recycled topic X or topic Y with steadily decreasing attendance? Do ethnic topics work in your area? Would it be a type of seminar you could offer every few years?
It takes money to raise money. Think seriously about whether your plans are too big for your society. Cutbacks may be needed or other funding needs to be found. Have a board discussion to decide if your society can really afford the money and whether it has the necessary volunteers. You will need to fulfill what you promise in print to registrants.
Genealogical and historical societies and book and supply vendors add to the overall good feeling. Contact area ethnic organizations and repositories. Send invitations to many types of vendors who are reasonably close (within a few hours) of your seminar site. Set reasonable table rental fees.
Some vendors may be able to contribute door prizes if you let them know in advance that the prize name and the name of the donor or company will appear in your newsletter and day's program. (Don't forget to list them!) Mentioning them briefly during the day is also a plus.
Have free cake for the society's anniversary or some special event. The word "free" works wonders.
Open up a half hour early and have several experienced members handle a Q&A table. For regular meetings have a half hour before the organized meeting for members to come and discuss problems, discoveries, share the reference materials. Stress this free, added attraction in your newsletter.
Offer a beginning genealogy class the night before or early on the seminar morning at no extra charge.
Have gift certificate door prizes for the next seminar or discount certificates to be awarded for this year's first ten or twenty registrants. Let them know they can pass it on to a friend or relative. Advertise the certificates in your newsletter.
Make Your Audience Feel Welcome
Have enough people staffing registration to make the line move quickly. Keep the business meeting short and run it tightly. A big seminar is not the time to have a bylaws discussion.
Introduce yourself and subsequent people at the podium. Welcome both members and non-members.
Have light refreshments. Either include these in the fee or set out a donation basket. Make them feel good by saying cookies are included in your registration fee. (Remember the magic word: "free.")
Start and end everything on time. Have a bell or whistle to remind people ahead of time that a session is about to start.
Don't run out of handouts. Never. Ever. The few dollars to print extras are worth the goodwill with last minute registrants. The extra printing saves rushing at the event and saves listening to complaints.
Is there a freebies table? Advertise this and remind the audience at the event. Vendors unable to come to the event may still be able to send flyers, catalogs, pamphlets. These might also be available from libraries, archives, and ethnic organizations.

1) I meant 25m. In my opinion 10m and 25m are different enough that you can't just lump them together. Method is considered "world first" even though paragon technically did it first simply because the race is about 25m content, no?
2) the 4pc is good. It's been hotfixed to affect our shield, which makes it completely worth it despite the slight mastery loss compared to non-tier pieces.
Your guild is definitely more progressed than mine is, but if im not mistaken it also raids 25 hours a week (im sure less now that the tier is over) compared to my guild which raids 16. those 9 hours/week make a difference. Regardless of our guilds ranks however, theorycrafting doesnt care how good your progression is. Back up your attacks on me with theorycrafting, not "my guilds killed 3 more bosses than your guild so i'm right". You still haven't defended your claim that "hit cap is mandatory".

Can't speak to Darksend, but here's my reasoning.
I've been designated for my group to be the person that does imp demo roar. Our ret pally doesn't spec into it, our prot warrior is doing more threat-based builds, and thus I'm the only one left. That's the 5/5 FA.
For infected wounds, it's actually likely I could skip it. I almost never do a 10 man or a 25 man without tclap or a DK around, and I could really use a boost in threat. The primary reason I wouldn't is because too often I'm solo-tanking something that's nowhere near the other people (worms, Twins) or I'm tanking something that a DK isn't hitting (worms/twins). But those situations don't tend to be particularly scary as far as tank damage goes, so I could probably get rid of it.
The bear weighing does weigh agility more, but this is more of a relic of how wowhead does their weights. Stamina and agility are weighed at exactly the same value per point regardless of itemization points, which means if you weigh them equally you get really odd things like polar gear showing up close to or better than T9 gear (since stamina is 50% cheaper itemization point wise). Basically, if you weigh them the same then 30 stamina (via gem) is always better than 20 agility and is better by absurd margins. I'd recommend trying it and seeing if what it does makes sense or is sane, and if it works better for you go with it. For ToC, at least, very little can change due to the relative lack of options, but that doesn't mean it's as good as something else.

5 Common Home Selling Myths
There are so many things to watch out for and be careful of
when you're selling your home FSBO. There's the market, there are the scammy
buyer's agents, the mortgage lenders and the papers, the nosy little neighbor.
But of all the things that a home owner should be watching out for, the most
dangerous and most critical of all has to do with the myths that come with home
I don't know where they came from or how they started, but homeowners doing a FSBO sale who fall for them find themselves in bad situations afterwards. Here are our very effective FSBO tips!
Common myths in home selling
If you're about to sell your home FSBO, the only way to avoid making the mistakes is to know fact from fiction. Here are 5 of the most common myths in home selling:
1. I don't need an appraiser. While real estate agents insist on an appraiser, FSBO sellers have the (fake) luxury of not hiring one. And that's where all their home selling problems stem from. The thing is, you can't just sell your house for the price you think your house is valued. The current market value of your house is beyond the price you paid for it plus all the repairs and all the things that came with it. And the only person who can give a pretty accurate and competitive real market value of the house is a professional real estate appraiser. Remember, the wrong price can either have you shortchanged on your house or get you stuck in the listings for being overpriced. Here are the common mistakes in home showing.
2. MY house needs all these upgrades. Not all upgrades mean anything. It may look good to you but it may look the complete opposite for the buyers. Ideally, if you want to sell your house fast, you keep the house looking neutral, like a blank canvas with room for the new owners' creativity. Don't waste money on things that do not translate to upgraded value anyway.
3. Curb appeal won't matter. Curb appeal, my dear homeowners, will always matter. It makes the first of first impressions. If your front yard is filthy and unwelcoming, chances are, they've already judged the inside of the house even before they even got to see it. Curb appeal matters, and it matters a lot!
4. I have to wait until summer because there are more buyers by then. This was true at the time when people lived in the same house until they're old and singles don't buy a house until they're getting married and having kids. The thing is, the real estate market has gotten more diversified than that. Singles buy their own houses, retirees move out of their family homes – and they are looking for houses any time of the year. You don't have to wait and put out your house when everyone else did too!
5. Financing options don't help sell your home. As a matter of fact, they do! IN a financial endeavor as big as a real estate purchase, every option matters and everything is taken into consideration. So think about offering to pay for closing costs among other financing and payment options for your buyers. This might help seal the deal more quickly for you!

When a Sophia Kokosalaki collection is really good and right it's the clothes that tell you; you can spot from ten paces that it's a Kokosalaki without needing to look in the label. The way she drapes, loops, and tucks her signature gauzy pale-hued summer fabrics is as unique to her as her fingerprint. And when she's on a tucking and draping mission with some tulle, soft cotton mesh, gauzy crunched up silk and supple kid leather she really can't be bettered. And so it was this weekend when Sophia, a Londoner transplanted from her native Greece, presented a collection that was mostly as light and airy as a breeze filled sail fluttering above the Aegean. But the clothes weren't for that fleeting moment of freedom you have on holiday, they were for modern urban women living a life. Skirts were short and folded back up on themselves like deflated puffballs. A short pale grey cocktail dress with mesh draping artfully falling from the shoulders was elegant dishevelment. A leather jacket came in ballerina pink and styled like a corset, and there was some visible bra action going on under silken blouses. All worn with a high heel version of Greek folk dancing shoes. But most of all it was about that short puffball, a cinched waist and those drapy tops. "I actually went straight in on my Greek heritage this time, looking at folk dancers," said Sophia post-show, "so the cuts and shapes of their costume is very obviously there, but all I thinking about with the clothes is what the modern 21st century woman wants to wear in her life."

|Hearts of Palm Salad would be great for Thanksgiving!
Thanksgiving is approaching, the time when seriously overeating becomes a national pastime in the U.S. If you're a South Beach Dieter, you may be wondering how you can make it through the holiday without completely blowing your diet. From now until the big turkey day, I'm going to be offering some ideas for Thanksgiving Recipes that are a bit more South Beach Diet friendly than some of the more traditional Thanksgiving foods.
Last week I shared my personal philosophy about dieting on a holiday, which is to indulge a little in one or two of your personal "must have" foods for that holiday, and then choose more diet-friendly choices for the rest of the meal. I offered Roasted Butternut Squash with Rosemary and Balsamic Vinegar as an alternative for traditional sugar and butter laden candied yams, and Alanna's Roasted Cauliflower as a possible alternative to potatoes. Today I'm spotlighting some special salads that will wow your guests and no one will know they're eating diet food. Let's start with Hearts of Palm Salad from the Silver Spoon (shown above), which is a delicious salad with avocado, Boston lettuce, hearts of palm, and pine nuts tossed in a lemony dressing. This is unique and delicious.
Broccoli and Radish Salad with Gorgonzola has broccoli, radishes, blue cheese dressing, and crumbled Gorgonzola. It's an unusual blend of sophisticated flavors that really works.
Arugula and Gorgonzola with Balsamic Vinaigrette is the type of "less is more" salad where the sum greatly exceeds the parts. Think sharp arugula, smooth Gorgonzola, and slightly sweet balsamic vinegar, all combined into a fabulous salad.
There you have five options for Thanksgiving dinner salads that may help you stick to your diet this Thanksgiving. More Thanksgiving ideas to come in the next few weeks.

Characters: Portraits and People from the Arts Council Collection
12 October 2013 to 7 January 2014
£6.95 | Concessions
This striking and entertaining exhibition, selected from the Arts Council's Collection, brings together a host of characters both real and imagined. Painted by British artists over the last 60 years it will feature works by Francis Bacon, Lucian Freud, Paula Rego and 2013 Turner Prize nominated Lynette Yiadom-Boakye, as well as many of the other leading figurative artists of the last half-century.
The exhibition considers the twin traditions of observation and invention in the painting of people. Arranged in two contrasting halves the exhibition compares artists and works rooted in the observable world (such as Auerbach, Freud and Uglow) with those who have invented characters or distorted actual subjects to create grotesques and monsters, from Peter Blake's portrait of the fictional boxer Baron Kaiser and Francis Bacon's imaginary portrait of Van Gogh to Hew Locke's fantastical Medusa, based on the Queen
Portraiture is central to both the story of British Art and the Holburne's collection. The Holburne houses one of the country's best collections of British eighteenth-century portraits and this exhibition aims to show how the traditions of portraiture, so well represented in the Museum, have been exploited and developed in this country since the second world war.

No 1: Scene: Moderato
No 2: Intermezzo: Andante
No 3: Sharmanka (Barrel-Organ Waltz)
No 4: Romance
No 5: Folk Festival
The Gadfly (1955) was an adaptation of a novel by the English writer Ethel Voynich, concerning the activities of an Italian revolutionary, Arthur, in the 1830s and '40s who acquires the nickname Gadfly by having become a thorn in the flesh of the authorities. The film's director Alexander Faintsimmer is better known for Lieutenant Kijé, and Shostakovich's score rivals Prokofiev's in its melodic directness and memorability.
Borisovsky's five arrangements begin with the portentous music entitled 'The Cliff', composed in updated Russian national style. This is taken from the opening scene in the film, where the revolutionaries survey their homeland from a windswept cliff-top. The 'Intermezzo' conflates three movements associated with scenes in the cathedral. These originally featured the organ and were tinged with irony, since the Church is firmly on the side of repression and Arthur is tricked into betraying his comrades in the confessional. The piquant 'Barrel-Organ Waltz' originally accompanied Arthur walking through a town square some years later to a meeting with the Revolutionary party. The undoubted hit in the film is the 'Romance', originally entitled 'Youth' and depicting the young Arthur's revolutionary fervour (rather than, as commonly assumed, his love for Gemma, the main heroine in the drama); its use as the theme-tune for the British TV spy drama Reilly, Ace of Spies helped to spread its fame to the West. Lev Atovmyan's suite of twelve numbers from the total of twenty-four in the film, on which Borisovsky based his transcription, conflates this movement with 'A Slap in the Face', where Gemma discovers that Arthur has inadvertently betrayed the revolutionary movement. Equally attractive is the 'Folk Festival', again originally set in the town square. This adopts the folk-celebratory tone that was a more or less compulsory skill for Soviet composers, one Shostakovich had already mastered in the finale of his Symphony No 10 in 1953 and in his Festive Overture the following year.

Every time I come to NY I panic about my legs. They function perfectly well in terms of getting around but in New York fashion terms they are very, very bottom tier limbs. New York catwalks are more leggy than thoroughbred stables. And the only hemline worth considering to the designers here is gynaecologically short.
Those thigh high skirts that look so fantastic on lithe Lithuanian models, on me become advertisements for saggy skin and cellulite. But it didn't stop me loving Proenza Schouler where every skirt, to coin the immortal words of James Brown, was right up to the moneymaker.
I could do the sporty pants and sharp shouldered boyfriend jacket. And the lime tie dye vest dress with lozenge sequined dress would work brilliantly for more people as a tunic over skinny pants. The baby doll dresses looked darling on the models but it was the feather embroidery that covered them that charmed me most. And the short pleated skirts wrapped in fabric that looked like a jacket had been tied around the waist were a smart take on a classic casual styling. It was sporty, sharp and simple. Proenza are bang on form.

Dancing, sand art and science: Communication by art-y means
There's something wonderful about those art forms that can bypass our adult selves and touch the child inside us. Sand art has that in spades. Its family members include building sand castles, but the kind I mean here is live performance art. It's better to experience it than read an explanation of it. The first performance [...]Keep reading »

Confirmation Bias and Art
