but get same bar again - NO - in fact it never went away!
Try to manually add http://cumulatm.googlepages.com/ to your allowed pages.

When I search for music then I just get the Last.fm page in new tab with a very long url
Strange. Works just fine for me.

what I would love would be a way to change languages easily
You might want to add several Google keyword searches for every language or use Bunchd to combine them all in one page: Bunchd - Google International + Google Slovenija

Here is a short introduction to a script that I had written some time ago and used zealously ever since. Thought it was time to share it.

I'd love to hear your thoughts, suggestions and language advice from native speakers.

Thanks!

Addendum: Works best with Firefox!

Umm, sorry, I'm a bit late. (I'll try to clear up the remaining questions, though. As a tribute to the board search and the delight of all its users.)

I can't decide between vtrain and supermemo.  I like Vtrain because it's fairly straightforward, but I am feature-aholic, and I can see that Supermemo has tons of features, ...
using whatever learning algorithm it has.
-superboyac
SuperMemo (and FullRecall) aim for time optimized learning performance through sophisticated repetition scheduling, considering grades you give each card for its difficulty level. VTrain just tries to re-enact the basic Leitner System in a convenient electronic environment.

Templates...
-superboyac
SuperMemo has huge set of template features.

Vtrain has a symbol map that pops up with each question for this, can Supermemo accomplish something like this also?
-superboyac
Nope, that's lacking. But there's always Quick Key. With some PowerPro or AutoHotKey fiddling, it can even be told to start-up with SuperMemo or FullRecall

So, I think that I am almost 90% sure that I will get FullRecall (thanks kingding!).
-superboyac
Great! Keep us posted on how it's working for you.
Unfortunately, I heavily rely on those HTML and template underpinnings (and therefore SuperMemo). I usually keep a copy of my learning material in Evernote, which I move back and forth via XSLT/Ruby scripts.

I spent several hours the other day researching on this topic.

These three shareware apps seem to stick out:
1: SuperMemo
The original, super old-skool
+ Exhaustive(!) feature set, proven algorithm
+ Largest user base, active community: Yahoo Group, Wiki
 - Ugly as hell, unbearable GUI, sometimes buggy

2:FullRecall
The new generation, attracting switchers from SuperMemo. There's a Ruby script on their website that converts data and statistics from SuperMemo databases to FullRecall.
+ Lightweight and simple, yet powerful. Features an advanced SuperMemo-inspired algorithm based on a neural net.
+ Can be operated entirely by keyboard
+ A caring community and a responsive developer
- Lacks rich-media and organization features, not yet fully grown-up

3:VTrain
+ A proven, stable and elegant implemenatation of the Leitner Method.
The Quingle review index seems to be biased, since its author has contributed to the development of VTrain.

Eventually, I bought a license for SuperMemo 2006.
