Systems and methods for applying both profile and user customizations to an application user interface are provided. Profile customizations, created for a specialized use or field, are adapted to an application user interface, which has command-menu-toolbar contributions from various add-in modules. The user has access to the customizations through a user interface. Then, as a user is customizing the application, through commands, toolbars, and menus, the user customizations are tagged. A priority and group is assigned to each customization to allow for relative positioning of each customization. The difference between the user's final desired state and a reset state is computed. This difference computation is used to track the changes made to the application and to assist in resets of the customizations.

The present invention is directed to application user interfaces. More particularly, the invention is directed to customizations of application user interfaces.
The usability of an application can be essential to its success. In addition, increased support for customization and localization of applications means that an application can be tailored to reach a larger audience. The wide use of features such as common dialog boxes and controls has increased consistency between applications. Application developers may take the same software package and simply customize and/or localize the interface for a particular audience. For example, engineers may desire a particular user interface for a word processing application; whereas legal professionals may find a somewhat different user interface more productive.
Hence application developers need to be able to customize an application user interface (UI) for different types of users and industries. These types of customizations are referred to as profile customizations. In profile customization, application developers change the visibility and presentation of commands, menus, toolbars, or other features of an application UI for a particular and specified use. In addition to specialized profile customizations, users like to customize so that they can tailor an application even more specifically to apply enterprise wide uniformity or even at the granularity of a single individual. For example, a corporation may have a customized toolbar that is essential to their business and simplifies the operation of an application. Or a particular user may customize an application UI to meet their personal preferences.
In some cases, profile customizations and user customizations may both be desirable. For example, an engineering company may employ an engineering-specific application, and an individual at this company may wish to further customize a particular menu or toolbar of the application UI.
Various applications, such as spreadsheets, word processors, and games, allow the incorporation of customizations to the application UI from both users and profiles. The customizations are typically applied to commands, toolbars, menus, and keyboard shortcuts of the particular application but may also be applied to, for example, window layouts. Examples of the customizations include hiding a command bar, creating a new command bar, deleting a menu, adding a new command to a command bar, and removing a command from a group within a menu or toolbar.
Depending upon the application, users may wish to customize the application UI to better fit their own personal use of the application. For example, a particular user may find that a certain command within a menu is never used and, therefore, wishes to remove the command. Or a user may desire a command bar that only contains that particular user's most frequently used commands. Similarly, different software modules contribute different customizations, in the form of profile customizations, based upon the application's use. For example, a toolbar may not be applicable to a particular application for one type of industry, so it is desirable to eliminate the toolbar through the use of profile customization by an application developer.
Furthermore, with the current growth of application and software functionality, there are many software programs, known as add-ins, that extend the functionality of larger, more complicated programs and applications. As the use of add-ins increases, the need to customize their features will also grow. With this increase, it will be important to a user for the add-ins' functionality to remain when customizing a particular application.
In consideration of the above-identified usability requirements with application user interfaces, the present invention provides a system and method for applying and merging user and profile customizations to an application user interface in an unknown environment.
The provided system and method incorporate an algorithm that tracks the changes a user makes to an application. After a command-toolbar-menu (CTM) module has been loaded to an application, profile customizations are adapted to the CTM, resulting in a customized application. A user of the current system makes customizations on top of this adapted application. The difference between a user's final desired state and a reset level is computed in order to track the changes to the CTM base level and to avoid an absolute record. An absolute record causes a reset to go back to the original base level, while a difference computation is more flexible.
Other advantages and features of the invention are described below.
The systems and methods for customizing applications with both user and profile customizations in accordance with the present invention are further described with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
An application user interface (UI) is the junction that allows for interaction between a user and the actual computer application. The application UI is presented on the screen of a computer in a window, which is the area displaying the particular application. The commands, or computing task instructions, of the application are usually displayed in the UI as icons, buttons, or as the contents of a menu, toolbar, or command bar. Today, most application U's are graphical (GUI) and are menu-based.
A menu includes a listing of different application commands in various formats, such as, for example and not limitation, pull-down menus where, once selected, the commands are shown as a vertical listing. Some applications contain multiple menus, each one related to a different task or function. A given menu may be divided into several groups, each group being a narrower subset of the menu in which it is contained. Menus may also be expandable. In an expandable menu, once a command is selected by a user, the user is presented with a second menu containing additional, related commands. A command in an expandable menu may lead, once selected, to further expandable menus. The commands in a menu may be identified in a variety of manners, such as a worded description, a well-known symbol, or both.
A toolbar is another means for displaying commands in an application UI. A toolbar is a horizontal or vertical bar, typically displayed on the edges of an application UI, containing various buttons that represent the commands. The toolbar commands are usually icons or symbols and may grouped together by function or feature. For example, editing commands may be symbolized by various icons and grouped together to form an editing toolbar. This editing toolbar may be horizontally positioned at the top of an application UI, for example.
As described in detail above, the ability to customize the application UI, and more particularly, but not limited to, the menus, commands, and toolbars of the application UI, is highly desirable. The customization desirability extends to individual users, groups such as corporations, and also to profiles.
The current method of handling both user and profile customizations incorporates one file for both the user and profile customizations, with the user customizations taking priority and being stored on top of the profile customizations. If a user wishes to reset customizations that the user has made in order to revert to a previous state, the reset does not simply undo the user customizations but instead goes back to the original application, which is the UI before the incorporation of either profile or user customizations. This results in both user and profile customizations being reset instead of just the user's customizations. This is clearly highly undesirable as the profile customization may be detailed and may provide needed customization for the user of the application.
As mentioned above, the current system does not provide for separation of the profile and user customizations, 130 and 140, respectively, after the customizations have been made. As an example of the disadvantages of this system, suppose that an application 150 has been updated with a profile customization 130 and/or a user customization 140. When an add-in software module 110 is added, then the merged baseline CTM 120 is regenerated from the current set of software modules 110, but the profile and user customizations, 130 and 140, respectively, are not properly re-applied. One skilled in the art can see that a choice between two unfavorable outcomes exists. Either the user of the system 100 is presented with the newly merged baseline CTM 120 that does not include their previous customizations, or the user is presented with the previous application UI that includes their customizations but does not include the UI contributions from the newly added software modules 110.
As another example of the disadvantages of the system 100, as shown in
The block diagram of
Profile customizations 130 are the menu and toolbar customizations available for particular profiles, as discussed in more detail above. For example, a profile customization 130 may include a specialized version of an application for a particular industry built by an application developer. The individual profile customizations 130, once received, are sorted, or enumerated as a list, according to a group identity and priority, as described in more detail below. User customizations 140 may result from a user deleting a seldom-used command, reordering a menu, or making some other preferred change to the application UI 150. The user customizations 140, made by a user when accessing the application, are sorted concurrently by group identity and priority and then generated. The profile customizations 130 and the user customizations 140 are applied to the baseline CTM 120, which is the merger of CTM contributions from various add-in modules 110, to create a customized application UI 150.
In order to allow for a merger of the customizations, each command needs to be tagged with location information. The location information describes where in the menu or toolbar the customization has occurred. The priority sorting mentioned above for both the profile and user customizations is employed when applying the customizations in order to provide the necessary location information for the customizations of an application UI 150.
The importance of the priority sorting is illustrated in
Assigning a priority to each command 330 allows for a customization scheme that uses relative positioning. For example, if Command A is added and assigned a priority, it does not matter if Command B is deleted or moved as Command A will always be assigned the same position in the menu 300, the position being based on the specified priority.
Since different groups 310 exist in the menu 300, each customization needs to include a group identifier along with a priority.
A portion of a menu is illustrated in
The example menu 300 demonstrated in
The examples above in
The illustrative examples of
Location information is required for the user customizations 140 in order to track each customized change to the application UI 150. The flowchart of

Referring to

This enumeration is performed separately for each menu or toolbar of the application UI 150.
At step 740, a comparison is made between a reset-state command and a current-state command. The commands that are compared are those from each state that have not been processed and that are ordered last, according to the above ordering scheme. For ease of discussion, the reset-state command is denoted as Crs, and the current-state command is denoted as Ccs. If the comparison results in Crs being less than that of Ccs, then at step 750 �Remove Crs� is outputted and Crs is advanced. This result shows that, through user customizations, a user has removed this particular command. If Crs is found to equal Ccs, then at step 760, both commands are advanced as there has been no change. If, however, Crs is greater than that of Ccs, then at step 770, the output message �Add Ccs� is provided and the current-state command is advanced. This result shows that, through user customizations, a user has added this particular command. Regardless of the result of the comparison, if a current-state command and a reset-state command have not been evaluated, the comparison of the next commands will continue in the same process described above.
If, however, there are no longer any reset-state commands to be evaluated, all of the remaining current-state commands will be added at step 780. Similarly, if there are no longer any current-state commands to evaluate, all of the remaining reset-state commands will be removed at step 790. After both the reset-state commands and current-state commands have been evaluated and compared, the process ends at step 795.
With reference to
Computer 810 typically includes a variety of computer readable media. Computer readable media can be any available media that can be accessed by computer 810 and includes both volatile and nonvolatile media, removable and non-removable media. By way of example, and not limitation, computer readable media may comprise computer storage media and communication media. Computer storage media includes both volatile and nonvolatile, removable and non-removabie media implemented in any method or technology for storage of information such as computer readable instructions, data structures, program modules or other data. Computer storage media includes, but is not limited to, RAM, ROM, EEPROM, flash memory or other memory technology, CDROM, digital versatile disks (DVD) or other optical disk storage, magnetic cassettes, magnetic tape, magnetic disk storage or other magnetic storage devices, or any other medium which can be used to store the desired information and which can be accessed by computer 810. Communication media typically embodies computer readable instructions, data structures, program modules or other data in a modulated data signal such as a carrier wave or other transport mechanism and includes any information delivery media. The term �modulated data signal� means a signal that has one or more of its characteristics set or changed in such a manner as to encode information in the signal. By way of example, and not limitation, communication media includes wired media such as a wired network or direct-wired connection, and wireless media such as acoustic, RF, infrared and other wireless media. Combinations of any of the above should also be included within the scope of computer readable media.
The system memory 830 includes computer storage media in the form of volatile and/or nonvolatile memory such as read only memory (ROM) 831 and random access memory (RAM) 832. A basic input/output system 833 (BIOS), containing the basic routines that help to transfer information between elements within computer 810, such as during start-up, is typically stored in ROM 831. RAM 832 typically contains data and/or program modules that are immediately accessible to and/or presently being operated on by processing unit 820. By way of example, and not limitation,
The computer 810 may also include other removable/non-removable, volatile/nonvolatile computer storage media. By way of example only,
The drives and their associated computer storage media discussed above and illustrated in
A user may enter commands and information into the computer 810 through input devices such as a keyboard 862 and pointing device 861, commonly referred to as a mouse, trackball or touch pad. Other input devices (not shown) may include a microphone, joystick, game pad, satellite dish, scanner, or the like. These and other input devices are often connected to the processing unit 820 through a user input interface 860 that is coupled to the system bus 821, but may be connected by other interface and bus structures, such as a parallel port, game port or a universal serial bus (USB). These are the kinds of structures that are virtualized by the architectures of the invention. A graphics interface 882, such as one of the interfaces implemented by the Northbridge, may also be connected to the system bus 821. Northbridge is a chipset that communicates with the CPU, or host processing unit 820, and assumes responsibility for communications such as PCI, PCIe and accelerated graphics port (AGP) communications. The invention contemplates both Integrated (inside the Northbridge) and discrete (outside the Northbridge) graphics implementations. One or more graphics processing units (GPUs) 884 may communicate with graphics interface 882. In this regard, GPUs 884 generally include on-chip memory storage, such as register storage and GPUs 884 communicate with a video memory 886. GPUs 884, however, are but one example of a coprocessor and thus a variety of co-processing devices may be included in computer 810, and may include a variety of procedural shaders, such as pixel and vertex shaders. A monitor 891 or other type of display device is also connected to the system bus 826 via an interface, such as a video interface 890, which may in turn communicate with video memory 886. In addition to monitor 891, computers may also include other peripheral output devices such as speakers 897 and printer 896, which may be connected through an output peripheral interface 895.
The computer 810 may operate in a networked or distributed environment using logical connections to one or more remote computers, such as a remote computer 880. The remote computer 880 may be a personal computer, a server, a router, a network PC, a peer device or other common network node, and typically includes many or all of the elements described above relative to the computer 810, although only a memory storage device 881 has been illustrated in
When used in a LAN networking environment, the computer 810 is connected to the LAN 871 through a network interface or adapter 870. When used in a WAN networking environment, the computer 810 typically includes a modem 872 or other means for establishing communications over the WAN 873, such as the Internet. The modem 872, which may be internal or external, may be connected to the system bus 821 via the user input interface 860, or other appropriate mechanism. In a networked environment, program modules depicted relative to the computer 810, or portions thereof, may be stored in the remote memory storage device. By way of example, and not limitation,
There are multiple ways of implementing the present invention, e.g., an appropriate API, tool kit, driver code, operating system, control, standalone or downloadable software object, etc. which enables applications and services to use the virtualized architecture(s), systems and methods of the invention. The invention contemplates the use of the invention from the standpoint of an API (or other software object), as well as from a software or hardware object that receives any of the aforementioned techniques in accordance with the invention. Thus, various implementations of the invention described herein may have aspects that are wholly in hardware, partly in hardware and partly in software, as well as in software.
As mentioned above, while exemplary embodiments of the present invention have been described in connection with various computing devices and network architectures, the underlying concepts may be applied to a variety of computing devices or systems. For instance, the various algorithm(s) and hardware implementations of the invention may be applied to the operating system of a computing device, provided as a separate object on the device, as part of another object, as a reusable control, as a downloadable object from a server, as a �middle man� between a device or object and the network, as a distributed object, as hardware, in memory, a combination of any of the foregoing, etc. One of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that there are numerous ways of providing object code and nomenclature that achieves the same, similar or equivalent functionality achieved by the various embodiments of the invention.
As mentioned, the various techniques described herein may be implemented in connection with hardware or software or, where appropriate, with a combination of both. Thus, the methods and apparatus of the present invention, or certain aspects or portions thereof, may take the form of program code (i.e., instructions) embodied in tangible media, such as floppy diskettes, CD-ROMs, hard drives, or any other machine-readable storage medium, wherein, when the program code is loaded into and executed by a machine, such as a computer, the machine becomes an apparatus for practicing the invention. In the case of program code execution on programmable computers, the computing device generally includes a processor, a storage medium readable by the processor (including volatile and non-volatile memory and/or storage elements), at least one input device, and at least one output device. One or more programs that may implement or utilize the techniques of the present invention, e.g., through the use of a data processing API, reusable controls, or the like, are preferably implemented in a high level procedural or object oriented programming language to communicate with a computer system. However, the program(s) can be implemented in assembly or machine language, if desired. In any case, the language may be a compiled or interpreted language, and combined with hardware implementations.
The methods and apparatus of the present invention may also be practiced via communications embodied in the form of program code that is transmitted over some transmission medium, such as over electrical wiring or cabling, through fiber optics, or via any other form of transmission, wherein, when the program code is received and loaded into and executed by a machine, such as an EPROM, a gate array, a programmable logic device (PLD), a client computer, etc., the machine becomes an apparatus for practicing the invention. When implemented on a general-purpose processor, the program code combines with the processor to provide a unique apparatus that operates to invoke the functionality of the present invention. Additionally, any storage techniques used in connection with the present invention may invariably be a combination of hardware and software.
While the present invention has been described in connection with the preferred embodiments of the various figures, it is to be understood that other similar embodiments may be used or modifications and additions may be made to the described embodiment for performing the same function of the present invention without deviating therefrom. For example, while exemplary network environments of the invention are described in the context of a networked environment, such as a peer to peer networked environment, one skilled in the art will recognize that the present invention is not limited thereto, and that the methods, as described in the present application may apply to any computing device or environment, such as a gaming console, handheld computer, portable computer, etc., whether wired or wireless, and may be applied to any number of such computing devices connected via a communications network, and interacting across the network. Furthermore, it should be emphasized that a variety of computer platforms, including handheld device operating systems and other application specific operating systems are contemplated, especially as the number of wireless networked devices continues to proliferate. Therefore, the present invention should not be limited to any single embodiment, but rather should be construed in breadth and scope in accordance with the appended claims.

Very Nice Hotel
February 23, 2015
The Staybridge is in a great location, the staff was always willing to help in any way they could. During the social time in the evening they offered an IPA beer which I have never seen at any hotel; very nice plus.

TravelPod Member ReviewsHotel Magic Mountain La Fortuna
The staff is helpful, it is clean as a whistle and the view is incredible of the Arenal volcano. You will love the pool and I highly recommend it.
This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.
Okay, I'm writing this on the first night, so it's possible that my views will change. However, the service and room so far have been excellent. Clean rooms (huge bed!), polite staff, a pool with a swim-up bar. Now, take all this with the knowledge that I've never really used a booking agency before, so I tend to find myself the cheapest hotel with a/c and internet that I can. Maybe for people who are used to higher-end resort stays this place isn't so special. Nevertheless, I'm impressed and our room has a lovely balcony looking out on the Arenal volcano! Oh, did I mention the complimentary drink when we arrived?

I withdrew colones, and was so excited to see my checking account balance showing seven figures (in colones, that is!) I walked away from the ATM and forgot my debit card. Fortunately, we were still standing right next to the ATM when the person behind me started to use it, and they handed my card to me. That would have been a fairly big pain if ...

... La Fortuna was not effected.
When we had hiked for a little while, we stopped at a volcano field from 1992, where we had a beautiful view of a man made lake, and the volcano.
That night, we had sushi again. There is a total of 7 pools here. There is a swimming pool, a large hot pool with a sushi bar, and smaller hot pools through out. All the water comes from the volcano, which creates natural hot springs.
Bye for now, Asha

I'm jumping in the November Pool as well. We (me, DH, DSD6 and DS9months) will be there from 11/24 - 11/29. We are staying at the AoA in the LM rooms. I started my first PTR a few weeks ago, so feel free to take a look if you like...the link is below in my signature
We will be there the at the same time...except we leave on 11/29
We can now officially say we go next month...woohoo
DME packet came yesterday and one month from today we will have arrived at Bay Lake Tower! Staying 11/3-11/10
Just realized we have only 41 more days until our Thanksgiving trip to WDW! Our unplanned trip! I am so excited to be back at the world when all of the Christmas Decorations will be up and also looking for the infamous "black cat" at Osbourne lights! I found it once and cannot wait to have the fun of looking again!
I just booked yesterday for 8 nights. Nov 13-21! So excited, get to see my DBF who is working at WDW, think we will be at All Star Sports.
We are booked for Nov 26 - Dec 1 at the GCV. Excited to check out the new additions at CA and all the holiday decorations.
Hello everyone, I'm sure I'll bump in to some of you we will be down Nov 12-18. We are super excited.
all set for 10/31-11/4
hurry up all ready
Booked november 7-18,2012 DD @ bestw
Then two nights at dolphin november 10-11
Buying a annual pass so i can parkhop 11 days then return To Disney in february 2012 !
Going with my son for our 2nd Food&Wine festival together and my 3rd in a row !
We will be there November 14-24. Staying at AoA.
Booked our first ever Disney vacation as a family over the weekend. Hubby decided on the spur of the moment that we could fit in a stay at Disney while we are in FL visiting family. What started as a day at the MK turned into a 3 night stay at POFQ and two days in the parks. (MK & Epcot) My 6yr old is actually more excited about Epcot than the MK, but he loves documentary films and learning more than cartoon stuff. My 4 yr old on the other hand can't wait to see Mickey at the MK. I grew up in Orlando and was a Disney kid ever since I can remember, so I think I'm actually more excited about this trip than my kids! We'll be there from Nov 6-9, and I'm already planning our trip next year (hopefully!) at the Poly.
We'll be checking in to CSR for my birthday trip on Nov. 14 and staying until the 20th! I've "tweaked" my adrs and touring plans as much as humanly possible and at last feel as though I have everything covered! LOL! Now what do I do to pass the time???
Are the WDW resorts really completely full the week before Thanksgiving? I know Veteran's Day wknd is busy, but according to the crowd calendars, the 13th thru the 16th look light to moderate. Weird that there are no rooms left, not even at the rack rate? Any ideas?
21 days!!!! WOOOHOO. Resort TBA since my girlfriend doesn't know where we are staying! It's a surprise!
We will be there Nov. 9-19 and I was wondering the same thing! I don't think the resorts open up to full capacity that week (at least I keep telling myself that!)
So excited! We are staying at POR Nov. 15-25. Couldnt pass up the free dining plan. Its so worth it.

One-Bowl Banana Cupcakes with Nutella Frosting
Every time I let myself buy a jar of Nutella my mind naturally wanders to bananas and desserts. I say "let" because with it's irresistible pull, Nutella cannot be safely kept in my pantry for any length of time. Once opened it needs to be used fairly fast before the spoon scrapes bottom. A sentiment…
Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Banana Bread
Zucchini Banana Bread with Walnuts and Raisins
Every bite of this wholesome bread is jam-packed with flavor that begins and ends with bananas! The zucchini fades into the background and banana takes front and center stage. Together they add incredible moistness and replace the fat that is usually found in recipes like this – no butter or oil is required!

My Jeep now makes a howling noise when driving down the road. It tends to get louder the faster you go. My husband thinks maybe its from the worn tires. It has the orginal tires with 50,000 miles. Is this possible or should we be concerned that it's something more serious?

Start with new tires to eliminate tire noise possibility and then have the wheel bearings checked if it continues to howl after tire replacement and you can get wheel bearing replacement cost here www.repairpal.com/estimator and locate a shop here www.repairpal.com/directory

With our first VAPOR playlist, we wanted to figure out what this sound is called. We made up a few names of our own, but thought vapor fit best.
Turns out it's called Kawaii, and Jersey Club. Kawaii actually means cute in Japanese, which makes most sense given its bubbly nature with anime and video game samples sprinkled in. Jersey Club seems to be more house-based, but still as bubbly.
We decided to still keep it called Vapor 'cause this is too funky to be that cutesy.
I've listened to way too much music this year, probably around 12,000 new tracks (I tried calculating it). Most of the music was.. unfinished, to say the least, but we found a lot more songs worth keeping than any year before it.
A lot of new music emerged or reemerged over the year. Deep house was the big thing, but many discredit it because of the hype. It had its bad with its good. Our favorite new style goes to what doesn't seem to have an official name yet. I've heard many call it kawaii, but I prefer vapor – this naming shit is more important than you'd think.
We've got 30 songs to show off, 11 artists and 20 playlists for you, but if that's not enough… wait 'til next year.
I've gone to a handful of EDM shows & festivals over the last year and I just don't get how people can dance to most of the popular shit these days (says the hipster music blogger). At least not when you've got such better music to dance to (also hipster). So obviously we had to put a list together (very hipster).
Our Dance Party mix for 2014 is geared more towards the club or house party rather than the rave. I guess that's where we differ from the higher BPM, bombastic music dominating EDM right now.
We get into various forms of house music on here, but there's plenty of other influences as well — I'm being vague because I just spent way too much of my time putting together this list and I don't have time to articulate it (like always).
Our last deep house list tacked on UK garage at the end, it does take over much of these lists, but as industry standards go it's all deep house now. Though most of the house here has some influences from garage — grimier sounds with emphasis off the beat.
Sometimes it's more about the creativity than the quality in a remix. Some of these aren't perfect, but they show a lot of potential. And that's another good reason for remixing, to get producers just starting out vocals actually worth making something new out of.
This is our biggest remix playlist yet. We tried hard to remove as much as we could, I mean that's our job, but let me tell you it's just as hard, if not harder, removing tracks from a playlist than adding them in (as we mentioned in our how to playlist music article).
We start this off by sampling some of the best styles in electro soul and go from the playful down to the more sedentary. There are a few songs that deal with heartbreak, but the sound is still right.
Have fun with your loved one with this one.
Vapor is not really a style or genre. We got it from vaporwave, which most closely sounds like PUPANG's Zane, but our list seems to be more electro influenced than vaporwave's housey-synth sound.
The most common theme among all this vaporness is the cultural Japanese references, mainly inspired by anime & video games, and has an almost kiddish quality to it… which I warn you many won't like. It's not for everyone, as with most of our lists, but I dig the hell out of this sound.
We've featured our favorite female vocalists for the past two years, one two, but never felt the need to do it for the men. Well, we messed up our indie-pop playlist, so we made something good out of the mess.
Not only can these guys sing, but they put their voices into a sound just as good.
At my job that actually pays, we've been trying to figure out what relaxing electronic music should be categorized under on our website. It was originally classified as 'electronica,' but the name was often confused with electronic, especially with Spanish speakers. Downtempo & trip-hop were other good options, but we decided on chill as it seems to be the most popular term used now.
I thought about naming our Electro Relaxations playlist something similar, but as popular as chill is now I gotta imagine it'll fall off as fast as it came in. I'm still not too set on Electro Relaxations, but it seems like the best option for now. And who really cares, the music speaks far better than any name could.
Like the iPhone every year, this is our best playlist yet! It really is.
House has been my obsession for the past few years and my favorite kind is the mid-tempo, upbeat summertime jams. Which may or may not turn out to be called Tropical House. Or Summer House. Or Horizontal Disco. It's up in the air really.
A few tracks do stereotypically incorporate the steel drums, but we did cover more ground than that. We also decided this should be more comprehensive than our usual playlists because we wanted to get all the trop house personas in one place. There are quite a few interesting characters.

Through performances, workshops, retreats, and community events we raise consciousness on issues of peace and justice, and celebrate the beauty and resilience of the human spirit.
Since 1993, we have used theater-making to amplify hard-to-hear voices at society's margins, including prison inmates and former inmates, adults with developmental disabilities, and alumni of the state child welfare system.
Still Point artists believe that creative expression is a natural and vital part of any healthy society. This is why we strive to make our professional performances accessible to diverse audiences, and it is also why we are deeply invested in our outreach programs. We have observed time and again the powerful synergy that can happen when groups of people are engaged in writing, reflecting, sharing, and forging thoughts and feelings into artistic works. Please take a moment to browse the site and read about our plays and programs in more detail.

Interviewing new Still Point Facilitator Stephanie Browning for this blog was truly a joy. Of course, that is only fitting, as Stephanie's approach to her work was summed up in her first conversation with Still Point Founder, Lisa Wagner-Carollo, when she proclaimed to Lisa, "My agenda is joy."
Stephanie cheerfully explained her unique background in the arts, which started when she was a ...

Best site online to buy Persil?
I finally decided to try the persil out after reading such good things about it. What online stores are good to purchase this from?
I know there are probably better places but I bought mine here at Best Vacuum they carry Miele products. And free shipping.
Also Amazon has the Persil detergents.
Here is a link that might be useful: Best Vacuum
I ordered a box of persil universal powder last night, not the megapearls. Ive used it before with great washing and rinsing results. I hope it has not changed in quality. I paid 59.00 dollars, for the 75 wash load box and free shipping. The last time I bought it, it lasted me for months, so the price seems fair to me. My friends buy name brand soap then add to it, clorax 2, and oxyclean and I am not one for adding additional additives to laundry. If I have to do all that, then my detergent must not be working right
This was the best deal I found when I looked around last week. I just wanted to try so didn't want a super huge box. This one works out to 70 cents per load -- but catch it while the sale is still on because the normal price is $35.
Here is a link that might be useful: Persil universal powder 35 loads for $24.50 shipped
Here is another site to buy Persil. 45 load size Megaperls is $40. I'm not sure about shipping costs, but note that they have many local stores around the country (including my hometown.)
Here is a link that might be useful: Reliable Parts
The Euro grocery store, hands down has the best price.
45 is just 19.99 there, if you order a certain amt it's free to ship. I also bought a huge box of Ariel there
Ariel is 10 kg for $79.99
Both Persil & Ariel are listed under "cosmetics" on that site in case you're looking for it any other way.
I bought mine from Better Products Online. The 75-load box was $64 plus free shipping. It's now priced at $75, but that's still pretty good.
Here is a link that might be useful: 75-load Persil
antss, I don't think charging $40+ for a box of detergent is appropriate. $1 per load is extremely high when you compare the cost to less exotic products which are 1/5-1/3 the cost. Plenty of other products accomplish the same task at much lower cost. It's a personal preference. Many here love Vaska and claim it's as good or better than Persil. The cost? Just $9.99 for 32 loads, or 31 cents per load - less than 1/3 the cost of Persil.
Getting good results in the laundry has nothing to do with how much money you spend on products.
Mielemaid, Euro Food Mart is falsely advertising on their site. While they are advertising a 45-load size box of Megaperls for $19.99, what they actually ship is the Universal Gold powder which is half as concentrated. You end up getting half of what you thought for the $19.95, and ends up being no cheaper than a $40 box of 45-load Megaperls from another web site.

JF Ptak Science Books Post 2360
Algernon D. Black, the leader of the Society for Ethical Culture, wrote a pretty good appeal to America in his radio broadcast of May 3, 1945 on WQXR (NYC). His topic on his "Ethical Issues in the News" series was The Nazi Surrender. WWII in Europe was nearly over, Hitler had been dead for four days, nearly every major German city was in ruins, and surrender was in the air-- and on the ground, and in the rivers, German troops surrendering in the tens of thousands in the west, and more so in the east, with many also being killed at the hands of the Soviets. Surrender was everywhere but on paper.
May 7 would be the official day, four days in Mr. Black's future.
And what Mr. Black warned against in the coming of surrender was this--that even though Germany was defeated, we must make sure that Nazism is defeated too. He warned that the Nazis claimed to be fighting a common enemy in the Soviets, and at the end tried to align themselves with the West against the rising East. "Even the surrender of Nazi generals and suicides by Nazi leaders in no guarantee if a surrender of the Nazi will and the defeat of the Nazi ideology.
He went on: "In the moment of defeat, the Nazis have done things to assure the rebirth of the Nazi movement" pointing out hidden money, transfer of major funds to neutral countries, setting the stage for retrieving patents and industries, and so on.
Black points out that the Nazis started a war that killed at least 50 million people, and who in their quest to defeat "Russian bolseheviks" killed hundreds of thousands of British, French, and American soldiers, and civilians, caused the deaths of millions more, imprisoned millions and ran concentration camps.
"When we have accepted the Nazi surrender, our real difficulties will begin" Black writes, telling his audience that the Nazis must be separated from the non-Nazis, and that Germans who were "victim of false indoctrination will have to be subjected to intensive re-education", and that "those who are anti-Nazis must be encouraged to take leadership and to aid in the rebuilding of German life and of German democracy..."
Black was advocating a sensible, thoughtful approach to a longer-termed peace in discussing the termination not of the German state, but of the Nazi ideology.

TORONTO -- To understand the seriousness of what Ozzie Guillen said, let Mike Lowell paint what has become a most unappetizing picture.
Lowell likes Guillen. He played on a Marlins team for whom the former shortstop served as a coach. He was excited for Guillen to help anchor Miami's baseball resurgence. But the minute Lowell heard what Guillen said about having an admiration for Cuban dictator Fidel Castro, there was only one bond that counted -- that of his family.
"The people that suffered were from the generation before my generation," the former Red Sox third baseman said via phone from his daughter's softball game in the Miami area. "I enjoy all the freedoms of these United States because my family left Cuba. But my dad was the one who left with only one suitcase, and my grandparents were the ones who had to leave their jobs and start literally all over. Those are the people who feel more of the pain. I think they're more offended by it because they enjoy baseball and now feel like they can't because that's way too much pain, and way too much bad feelings that have gone through so many families who came from Cuba."
Lowell understands the effect Guillen's words have had on the Miami area. He grew up in nearby Coral Gables, and has returned to immerse himself in the community year-round. But that's not what makes the retired infielder an authority on this subject.
The first thing you should know is that both of Lowell's parents were born and raised in Cuba. They each escaped with their families as 11-year-olds, with each member of their family being allowed one suitcase, $125 for each adult and $5 per child. Lowell's grandmother on his mother's side was forced to sew some of the family's valuables into the lining of her dress in order to bring the items to the United States. The was a reason the families took such a leap of faith, leaving most of their lives behind -- because of Castro.
Lowell hasn't seen his parents' reaction to the Guillen news. They are out of the country on vacation. But he has seen the response of his father-in-law.
Jose Lopez, the father of Lowell's wife, Bertica, spent 15 years in a Cuban jail as a political prisoner, all because of the man Guillen was perceived to be praising. He was the one who broke the news of Guillen's remarks to Lowell.
"So my father-in-law walks in and there's just sadness in his eyes. He said, 'You see what the manager of the Marlins said?' He's deeply offended and hurt," an emotional Lowell said. "Speaking of that suitcase, my father-in-law didn't even get a suitcase. He was in prison for 15 years. Imagine them taking away (ages) 19 to 34 and someone says something like this. How can you not react in an emotional way? That's the hard part. I hope for the Marlins franchise this can be something we can focus more on baseball because I think they have a competitive team and I hope it doesn't affect the players, because those guys work hard and you want to see them do well. It's not their fault."
Lowell knows the life of a ballplayer, but he also knows life as a Cuban-American living in Miami. That's why, when it comes to this subject, baseball loyalties are pushed to the side.
"I said it before, I enjoyed playing with Ozzie as a coach, and I don't think it makes him a bad manager or a bad baseball guy. I think it was a terrible choice of words," he said. "The problem is that there are so many successful, influential Cuban-Americans who have made Miami their home, from a PR standpoint there is nothing Ozzie could have said that could have been worse. He could have almost offended any race, any background or anything and it could not have been worse, for this community.
"For people who live in Nebraska, there's not a Cuban community to be offended. There's probably a lot of Cuban-Americans who are very influential who had a big stake in getting the stadium built there and indirectly got him hired and he has a great contract for a manager. He has to be a little smarter than to say something like that."
Lowell has been getting calls since the Guillen incident. People understand his unique situation when it comes to this topic, and where his allegiances lie. Few have forgotten the Boston Herald front page quoting the then-Red Sox third baseman, when asked about an ailing Castro, saying, "I hope he does die!"
The Marlins have explored opportunities for Lowell to re-enter the organization since the former All-Star's retirement. He is still tremendously popular in the area. He understands the fan-base, and the fan-base seemingly embraces him.
It's why Lowell's perspective should be an important one.
"The Marlins have basically done everything to put the stadium in a position where they not only have a new stadium, but especially where it is, with the Latin community wanting to unite and embrace and be a major part of it. … Unfortunately it has become a major divide," he explained. "It's hard because while [Guillen's] allowed to say anything he wants, he doesn't only represent himself, but he also represents the Marlins, Major League Baseball and he represents us, and, to me, he's smart enough to know that is an issue that is way too delicate to talk about. If you don't know too much about it you should just refrain from talking about it."
Now comes the hard part, Lowell says. Figuring out what to do next.
"I think the whole thing put the Marlins in a tough situation because one person's view is not the view of our organization," he said. "But what can be the proper penalty? One game? Ten games? A season? Fire him? I don't know even if you fired him [if] you really appease the community. The irony is that you can't fire him based on the fact that one of our freedoms is the freedom of speech. I just think it puts the Marlins organization behind the eight-ball because they know they like Ozzie Guillen the baseball manager and they knew somewhere down the road he was going to say something. But not like this. I don't think they ever thought it would be this."
Greg and Chris talk more offseason happenings with the Pats and their plans. They talk about some of the free agents toward the bottom of the list with Stevan Ridley and Dan Connolly. Price thinks that Connolly could end up back with the Pats and Ridley elsewhere (Cowboys?), but Greg thinks they both could be back. They also chat about the departure of VInce Wilfork and what he meant to the organization, the re-signing of McCourty and more.
The very first airing of the offseason edition of NFL Sunday gets underway with Greg and Chris delving into the free agency period and how the Pats made out. Of course they lost Revis to the Jets, but what else went on? Greg isn't over the loss of Revis yet and the guys discuss what went into that whole ordeal. Price is looking forward to the additions of Chandler and Cadet. They also get a call from Mike Petraglia and get his thoughts on the Pats offseason moves.

Mut, Bradford, and Tomase kick off this weeks show by talking to Red Sox pitcher Joe Kelly about his biceps recovery, getting ready for the season and his NCAA brackets. They then talk about the Red Sox depth at closer with Koji Uehara questionable for the start of the season.
The Sunday Skate crew gets the show going discussing the Bruins big, impressive victory over the NY Rangers yesterday. What can you take from that game? According to LB - Lyndon Byers - who called the guys from the road, not a lot. LB drops a dime on what was going on with the Rangers yesterday. DJ and Joe discuss Claude's lines and groupings and the importance of Ryan Spooner. They also get into Lucic, his contributions this year and if he can turn things around.
Jack Edwards of NESN joins Dale, Michael and Jerry. With 9 games left the Bruins don't have much if any margin of error, and Jack knows it.

It's become apparent now more than ever that Chiarelli probably needed to pull the trigger on a deal for a defenseman at the trade deadline. Also.

ADA Info
From Adult Services @ Freeman:
Kathryn Black Morrow spoke February 5th at our Under50Over program. She gave
excellent tips for sorting, organizing and writing about all the various
family photos, letters, reciepts and clothes or other material you have
inhereted or have collected. We hope to have her come again and expand on
writing about our Family History.
We are looking forward to having Herman Auer who is standing in for Mary Demeny speak on gardening in the Houston area Friday the 12th. Adults of all ages are welcome to join us.
According to the New Catholic Encyclopedia article by E.Day, February 14th commemorates two martyrs named Valentine, one martyred in Rome and the other in the city of Terni. That there were two Valentines is still disputed but, according to the text, "the late medieval custom of sending love notes on Saint Valentine's Day stems probably from the belief that it marked the mating season of birds." You could also check out the Wikipedia article about Saint Valentine or Valentine's Day for more informa
