taskbar showing just two icons; help!
After changing my keyboard settings, something happened with my taskbar so that it only shows two pinned icons, and I have to use these up and down arrow keys to scroll through the rest. This is incredibly annoying, as I can't figure out how to make it show all the icons again. My ThinkCentre button is hogging up the whole task bar, and any right clicks in the giant empty spaces right next to it will bring up options for the ThinkCentre.
See image:
Help is appreciated!

Hello Yihwan,
It looks like you need to unlock your taskbar, drag the dotted lines separator just to the left of the blue circle icon (far right one) over to the left to decompress the other icons until the arrows to the right of the Chrome icon go away. After you get the icons dragged into the position you want, you can lock the taskbar again.
Hope this helps,

I never view pics from a 3rd party site. Others are more trusting than I am.
However, I've attached, using Sevenforums paperclip, a snapshot of a full taskbar. Where there is a yellow and a red marker are arrows. By cliking on the down arrow I go to a display like you had.
Between your task bar and the system bar on the right-hand side, do you see a faint vertical bar with an up and a down arrow. That will switch you between you two and a full bar. this is a way that Win 7 handles more icons that there is space. I'll wager that if you reduced the number of icons, you would find that the overflow problem is gone.

I had that problem too. The solution is to remove the Lenovo button from the taskbar. Here is how: Remove or Disable Lenovo ThinkVantage Toolbox Toolbar (Fix Wrong Location or Big Icon) « My Digital Life
After you have removed it, you can put it back afterwards and the taskbar is well behaved.

Cute Toy
Lake Front Mommy from Rochester, NY– Verified Buyer
We bought two of these for our 5 year old and 1.5 year old for Christmas. The gyffy toy is very cute and durable. My only complaint is that it has a very strong chemical type odor right out of the box. We have had it for close to a month now and I can still smell it slightly. Overall, we are pleased with the toy. Lots of fun to be had with this!
A little too big for a two years old
Julie from Montreal,qc– Verified Buyer

A total of 2GW of Turkish state-owned thermal generation capacity is expected to be offloaded by the end of this month, a source at Turkey's Privatisation Administration (OIB) told ICIS on Monday.
The plants earmarked for the latest round of privatisation include the 630MW Kemerkoy, the 420MW Yenikoy and 630MW Yatagan coal-fired power plants in the southwestern Mugla region, as well as the 300MW coal-fired Catalgazi plant in the northern Zonguldak province. The plants are owned by incumbent EUAS.
The exact tender date has not been fixed yet, but the OIB source said the sale will take place in the final week of September.
Another round of privatisation could follow next year with the sale of at least one portfolio of hydropower plants also held by EUAS, the source told ICIS in a previous interview (see EDEM 29 May 2013).
The pending round of privatisations organised by OIB follows the sale of some of Turkey's key state-owned power plants, including the 1.2GW Hamitabat combined cycle gas turbine power station, the 600MW Seyitomer and the 457MW Kangal coal-fired power plants (see EDEM 6 March 2013).
Turkey has also privatised its 21 electricity distribution networks (see EDEM 12 March 2013).
The sales are part of the government's plans to sell off 16.5GW of generation held by EUAS. OIB expects to offload 45 power plants, of which 27 are hydroelectric and 18 thermal power. Aura Sabadus

Nip/Tuck: Season 04 (2006)
Season 4, the last in Miami for Christian and Sean (Julian McMahon and Dylan Walsh), opens with a celebration: their 5000th surgery together. Out of ... Show synopsis Season 4, the last in Miami for Christian and Sean (Julian McMahon and Dylan Walsh), opens with a celebration: their 5000th surgery together. Out of the operating room, Christian's shrink (Brooke Shields), who's obsessed with him, tells him that his fear of emotional intimacy stems from a desire to be more than a friend and colleague to Sean. This haunts Christian, and he soon becomes emotionally intimate with physician Michelle Landau (Sanaa Lathan), the trophy wife of old and ailing venture capitalist Burt Landau (Larry Hagman), who buys McNamara/Troy and installs her as Christian and Sean's boss. Meanwhile, Michelle is harassed (and blackmailed) by a former boss of her own, a mysterious woman named James (Jacqueline Bisset), who has ties to Sean and Christian's old enemy, drug kingpin Escobar Gallardo (Robert LaSardo). As for Sean, his newborn son Conor's hand deformity leads to a disagreement with Julia (Joely Richardson) over corrective surgery. Advising against it is Conor's short-statured "manny" (Peter Dinklage), with whom Julia has an affair. In other plotlines, Matt McNamara (John Hensley) takes up with newly minted Scientologist Kimber (Kelly Carlson), who's really out to get back at Christian. And Liz (Roma Maffia) returns to McNamara/Troy but runs afoul of Michelle. She also finds romance with fellow anesthesiologist Poppy (Alanis Morissette) and experiences a health emergency. Among the Season 4 patients are a phone-sex operator (Kathleen Turner) looking for a "voice-lift"; a well-to-do gay man (Richard Chamberlain) who wants facial surgery for his younger boyfriend; the wife of a soon-to-return Iraq vet (Melissa Gilbert) whose dog bit off one of her nipples; a Frenchwoman (Catherine Deneuve) who wants her late husband's ashes placed in her breast implants; and the vulgar and gregarious Dawn Budge (Rosie O'Donnell), a lottery winner who becomes a frequent McNamara/Troy customer.

This is what we did that degree for; a Los Angeles-based burlesque troupe has thrown a 'Ladies of Sci-Fi' show in La-La land, which inevitably means a stripper dressed as a video game character has turned up on the internet.
The show - documented below - featured Pris from Blade Runner, Ripley from Alien and, oh yes, a classy bird dressed as Samus Aran.
Sure, as soon as she takes the helmet off she's just another stripper - but we doubt her audience is really going to be looking at her face.
It goes without saying that some of the footage and images below are not safe for work. Unless you've got a REALLY COOL BOSS.
For those of you who like to take nerd to new levels, feel free to discuss the quality of the suit as well. After all, man cannot live on boobs alone.
Oh, and if you want pics, they're through the classy link below.

America's Got Talent Finale Recap: The Best Ever?by Radio Blah Blah at . Comments
Months, awful performances and countless judges' critiques have passed. We're down to the final six.
Did your favorite receive a passing great on what may have been the best America's Got Talent finale to date? Read on. Find out. Chime in.
David Garibaldi & his CMYK's - David has the cutest son and wife and it's the biggest motivator. His routine had an almost mad scientist approach as he started painting. The main picture was more of a mystery as he added blues and beiges. The CMYKs had an easier task as they just created the letters C, M, Y and K. He spun the picture around and poof: Albert Einstein.
Grade: B+
Tom Cotter - If Last Comic Standing still existed, Tom Cotter would already be the winner. Unfortunately for him, that show hasn't been around in years. He decided to go with a dice that Nick rolled. He had "poor examples" and started off with being a bad parent. He emphasized how children get really odd imagery like Beauty & the Beast. The routine was funny and it fit having his children in the audience.
Grade: A-
The Untouchables - The Untouchables have finally overtaken the Miami All-Stars in talent and execution. They began with a solo and immediately got into a jive-inspired routine as they danced to "Proud Mary." Did anyone notice that there were some girls were sliding down poles? As long as it wasn't too stripper, it's okay. The routine had a great scope and I appreciated the use of the fabric river. I would have hoped that Ruby had less solo time.
Grade: B+
Joe Castillo - Joe decided to do a tribute to AGT in his act, starting off with a sand Nick Cannon, and eventually went with the other judges. I hated the live band, but his rendition of Howard was spot on. The piece proved that he didn't need a passionate story to create wonderful art.
Grade: B
William Close (& the Earth Harp Collective) - Like David and Tom, William is a father that wants to do his family proud. He decided to get all his instruments out for his big finale. He chose "Cannon in D" as his baseline while adding in "America the Beautiful." I think the confetti and sparkles were a perfect touch to a beautifully produced routine. I loved how there were even performers in the audience.
Grade: A
Olate Dogs - The first animal act to make it to the finals, the Olate Dogs started by driving in a cute car. They also had a live band with them and the dogs were as enthusiastic as ever, wearing cute jackets. Even with the two-legged jumping dog, I thought that the routine was cute. It made me want to say "aww" the whole time. They even garnered the Sharon vote.
Grade: A
We say the final vote comes down to William Close and Olate Dogs. What about you? Which act deserves to win America's Got Talent?
Why was Landau Eugene Murphy, Jr. not on the finale? Something fishy?
Olate dogs are cute but not worth a million bucks. Andrew Deleon got robbed and should have won instead, because he has real talent period.
I would LOVE to see Olate Dogs or Tom Cotter to win.
I thought the past few episodes of Americas Got Talent were something, but last night takes the prize for the best night ever. I can't believe how incredible the performances turned out and how bad people want that million dollar prize. I've enjoyed this season being able to use the Auto Hop feature to skip annoying commercials. This only works on primetime recordings, the day after they air. You have to enable the feature with each show and no longer need to manually fast forward commercials anymore. One of my coworkers at Dish showed me how Auto Hop works and how it will prevent me from always going past my shows, and then skipping back. I don't have to worry about replacing my remote batteries all the time, now that this feature is available.

MIAMI (AP) - The U.S. Coast Guard has sent home 15 Haitian
migrants found in a disabled go-fast boat off Florida's Atlantic
The Haitians were repatriated Tuesday to Cap-Haitien, Haiti.
The Coast Guard says their 24-foot boat was found early Thursday
about 15 miles off Cape Canaveral. Authorities say one Jamaican
national and a suspected smuggler were also on board.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials took custody of the
Jamaican and the suspect on Saturday. Authorities did not identify
either person.
The Haitians were given food, water and medical attention aboard
Coast Guard vessels.

November 24, 2014
A new study finds fussy infants and toddlers typically watch more TV or videos than other children.
"Interestingly, the kids who were less likely to be able to self-regulate had more media exposure," Dr. Elaine Shulte said.
Boston Medical Center researchers questioned the parents of nearly 7,500 children at 9 months and 2 years old. They found that the infants and toddlers whom parents characterized as most fussy, or who have difficulties with self-soothing, falling or staying asleep, or controlling their emotional state, also had the most media exposure. Researchers say kids with self-regulation problems watched about 9 more minutes of media per day at age 2.
They say early childhood is a critical time for forming lifelong media habits and suggest pediatricians help parents develop a healthier media diet.
"The whole point of the study is to emphasize that parents should not use media, TV, videos as the pacifier. We know that kids who are exposed to more media, early in life are more likely to have speech and language problems, which leads to reading problems and learning problems," Dr. Shulte said.
Complete findings for the study "Television viewing, bedroom television, and sleep duration from infancy to mid-childhood," can be found in the journal "Pediatrics."

McConnell Charges That 'Major Part' of Democrats' Cap-Trade Bill 'Essentially Written by BP'
June 9, 2010 - 4:11 PMSenate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said that BP Global, the energy company responsible for the ongoing oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, helped craft part of the cap-and-trade bill proposed by Sens. John Kerry (D-Mass.) and Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.).
"The problem for Democrats is that debating the Democrat cap-and-trade bill might not fit neatly into the White House messaging plan since it's been widely reported that a major part, a major part of the Kerry-Lieberman bill was essentially written by BP," McConnell said on the Senate floor on Wednesday. "Let me say that again. A major part of the Kerry-Lieberman bill was written by BP. This is clearly an inconvenient fact."
McConnell made his comments at a time when Congress is debating a "compromise" global warming bill introduced in May by Kerry and Lieberman in the wake of the deep-water oil rig explosion in April that killed 11 men and has dumped thousands of crude oil into Gulf Coast waters.
McConnell also charged that Democrats want to "piggy back" the Kerry-Lieberman bill into legislation being considered to mitigate future oil spills.
"At the same time as Americans wonder when this gusher will ever be plugged, we hear word that the administration and my good friend the majority leader [Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev.] want to piggy back their controversial new national energy tax--also known as cap and trade--to an oil spill response bill that could and should be an opportunity for true bipartisan cooperation," McConnell said.
"So here again, we see the administration using a crisis--in this case the disaster in the gulf--as an opportunity to muscle through Congress another deeply unpopular bill that has profound implications for small business and struggling households," McConnell said.
"Look, if the health care debate taught us anything, anything at all, it's that Americans want these kinds of massive bills to be debated out in the open," said McConnell, "not rushed past them on a holiday or tucked into a must-pass bill aimed at alleviating the kind of suffering we're seeing in the Gulf."
"An administration that seems to spend most of its time coming up with new ways to show how angry it is at BP, is pushing a proposal that BP actually helped write," said McConnell. "I can't understand it and I don't think the American people will understand why that it makes sense to respond to the BP oil spill by imposing a gas-tax increase on the American people that was advocated by BP."
When asked by CNSNews.com about McConnell's remark that a major part of the Kerry-Lieberman bill was essentially written by BP, Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.) said, "I believe that's true. In fact, it's kind of funny, the Democrats try to say the Republicans are the product of big oil and all that."

Is it a flipper or a spatula at your house?
I've always called the thing you flip pancakes with a spatula, but if I'm flipping, maybe it's a flipper? And the rubber scraper on a stick, is that a spatula (too)? What do you call these at your house?
re: FuzzyT
Agree with FuzzyT.
I call the flipper a spatula (my mother called them pancake turners not matter what she was turning with them) but also have long thin one I use when baking or for spreading icings etc. The rubber scrapers are rubber scrapers. I did have a Home Ec teacher when I was in 7th grade that called rubber scrapers Scotch Lickers because they could so frugally scrape the last bit out of a bowl or pan.
We call them all "spatulas," and the rubber scraper is a "rubber scraper" (or "rubber spatula") only if we need disambiguation. (I also have an offset spatula for frosting (or is it icing), but that's typically an "offset spatula.")
Around here:
A spatula is used for flipping pancakes.
A rubber spatula is used for scraping bowls.
Scuba divers use fins, and yes, Flipper is a dolphin.
re: revsharkie
Yup. Hm, will have to ask folks if that's Kansas or S. Jersey.
spatula, identified by color in my house
the black spatula is the pancake turner, if you must
Flipper = famous dolphin
Flipper: a dolphin with really good fins.
Turner: a singer with really good legs.
Spatula Clark: a singer with really good hairdo; recorded "Downtown" in 1964.
Spatula kitchen: any item that is used to flip, turn, or spread. Distinguished by context.
I have SO trained so I just say "Get me the thingie." He looks at what I'm cooking and grabs the appropriate utensil. :)
Yes, I know, showoff.
But in my mind, a spatula is for scraping down bowls and a flipper is for flipping pancakes.
I use the words; turner, scraper, spreader and so on to describe my tools. I add accordingly such as, slotted hamburger turner to mean the more specific tool in case of question.
BTW- I do not use a turner to flip eggs or to place the eggs on a plate. Having the right egg or omelet skillet, who needs tools?
re: BobB
Back when I made pancakes at Denny's I was known to mutter to the song and tune to the old "Flipper" show. I did it as a joke to my fellow cooks that insisted on calling the turner, flipper.
Believe it or not- Only 1 manager/cook there called them a spatula, but soon changed his tune when a dishwasher (person) decided to bring him the entire 22 quart insert to him, because all the spatulas were to be in one pan. See all "alike" tools are to be in one pan. Not all "named alike" tools... Get it?
Soon I realized I lived in the State of Confusion singing Flipper. I welcomed the end of the deep end!
Spatula, in NYC and Massachusetts. In eastern Massachusetts, asking for a "flipper" will get you a Portuguese donut-like pastry. ;)
Either that or a dolphin, depending on the age of your audience. (vbg) (Sorry, I couldn't resist,)
re: MikeG
They call him Flipper, Flipper, faster than lightning,
No-one you see, is smarter than he,
And we know Flipper, lives in a world full of wonder,
Flying there-under, under the sea!
Everyone loves the king of the sea,
Ever so kind and gentle is he,
Tricks he will do when children appear,
And how they laugh when he's near!
They call him Flipper, Flipper, faster than lightning,

Generally I loop the first 2 lines. It adds to the "State of Mind". Heheheh
I call m both spatula, and I'm in New York.
Same up north, with my Canadian friends.
Never heard of them called flippers!
In my house it's called a Spatula.
Flipper...I think of Flipper Pie, a New Brunswick specialty, made from seal flippers.
"Flipper Pie"
I don't know which is worse: that image or the Flipper theme song. I think I need a combination mind's eye _and_ ear poker-outer. (g)
re: fluffyk67
It's been about a while since my last Flipper Pie. I remember it being tender and tasty. Few mainlanders acquire a taste for them but I guess I was lucky.
Spatula - they're all spatulas, the ones we use to flip pancakes and burgers, the ones we use to scrape bowls, and the silicone ones that we use on the stove. If I have to ask SO to grab something, I just say rubber spatula or silicone spatula, or specify the particular one I want (slotted, wide, etc.) if it's not completely obvious what I want/need at the moment. Neither of us would think to call them anything else.
re: Atomica
Ditto - whether plastic or metal, "pancake turners" are spatulas, and the rubber scrapers are rubber spatulas.
Just remembered this: when my sister was in junior high she took a home ec class (didn't stick), and they of course had to learn the correct names of all the utensils. She about drove my mom crazy for awhile correcting her, "It's a RUBBER SCRAPER!" every time my mom said something about a spatula. (Just in case this is a regional thing, my mom grew up in Oklahoma and we grew up just north of the state line in southeastern Kansas.)
re: revsharkie
That is nothing new when it comes to the Educational front. LOL!
I had my fair share in mechanics class. I mean the teacher arguing that a Vice Grip (brand and even stamped on the thing) is not a vice grip, it is a locking pliers! Or a Channel Lock is a adjustable groove pliers.
Yes, in 8th grade we had 2 weeks of HE. (We actually called it Hells Econ) The use of the word Spatula was so outlawed it meant detention! Or 10 wacks with the Nun's stick.
Oh, there was variations of the scraper. Rubber headed scraper, Nylon scraper (all one piece) and this one oddball- Stainless Steel Scraper. I never saw one of them afterwards, as it was a stamped thing like a spoon with one straight edge and one having a curved notch in it. It did in all respects look like its handled counterparts.
Geez, lets not get into the turners! That was by itself a 50 "types of" test.
Portion Dishers anyone? In 8th grade we had to know what the #xx of scoop meant. (#30 meant 30 average scoops to a quart)
Spatula for turning, rubber spatula for getting the last drop of peanut butter from the jar. I have always been supernerd about these kinds of terms. 7th grade home ec basically ruined my social life when teacher held up whisk and asked if anyone could name it. I was the only one waving my hand wildly and giggling with eye rolling as other students guessed "whipper" and "egg scrambler". Teacher finally called on me in disgust. Ah, memories.
In our house growing up they were all spatulas. Later on I saw the flat kind used for flipping pancakes, etc, referred to as a "turner", which I thought was fine. "Flipper" is not a word I've ever seen or heard used for a kitchen utensil before reading this thread this morning, and it's not one I would use. Sounds silly. Sorry. :-)
In what part of the country do they say "Flipper?" In NY, New England I had never heard it. There are spatulas and rubber spatulas.
We inherited Grandma'a spatula and love it so. It is razor thin, springy and bendy and strong as well, steel. It can get under and unstick anything! It must be over 60 years old. I have never seen another like it.
re: atheorist
My mother had one like that too! Does yours have a red handle?
I don't know where I learned that the "pancake turner" (or "turner" or "flipper") is actually called a spatula and the other is a rubber scraper. This was probably part of a Home Ec lesson in Iowa, where I went to Jr. High. It stuck in my head, but not my mouth. So I usually call them both spatulas, then "correct" myself mentally.
I have no problem with the word "flipper" and am surprised people have such strong reactions to it. Regionally speaking, I think I heard "flipper" used growing up in the midwest (Kansas/Iowa).

Updated: December 17, 2013 2:23PM
There is a strong moral case for embracing diversity in American higher education. But there is also a compelling business case.
Research shows that workforce diversity benefits both firms and educational institutions. In the corporate setting, racial and gender diversity offers a direct return on investment. It is linked to increased sales revenue, more customers, greater market share, and higher relative profits. Workforce diversity leads to positive business outcomes because growth and innovation depend on people from various backgrounds working together and capitalizing on their differences.
Paralleling these widely understood benefits for private firms, my recent research shows that the business case for diversity can also apply to higher education.
The U.S. Supreme Court is now considering whether states have the right to ban affirmative action in universities and colleges, highlighting the debate over an essential question: does diversity hurt or harm America's institutions of higher learning? Rather than making the business case for diversity, proponents have typically argued the necessity of diversity in higher education from a cultural education perspective. Diversity allows students to interact with people from different backgrounds, encouraging them to explore new experiences rather than clinging to the familiar. And a great deal of research shows that this is true.
But survey research on the matter shows that diversity in higher education also has its skeptics. Some believe that having greater gender and racial diversity among students or faculty is a drag on the prestige, quality, and rankings of their academic programs, perhaps because they feel that it places lower performing people in positions for which they are not suited. At best, skeptics see including diversity in higher education as a moral obligation, a strategy to mitigate potential public relations disasters, a way of keeping pace with what their peers are doing, or just the politically correct thing to do.
However, my recent analysis of the National Academy of Sciences Rankings of U.S. Research Universities shows that universities actually have a compelling business interest in promoting diversity. Just as it does for the financial bottom line of firms, diversity enhances a research university's reputational bottom line. And a university's academic reputation is pivotal to its success on a number of dimensions, from student and faculty recruitment to gaining research funding.
My studies show that academic departments with more racial and gender diversity have higher national academic rankings, while less diverse departments are overrepresented among those with low rankings. When other things that affect departmental rankings — like program size, region, prominence of faculty publications, grants, and whether the institution is public or private — are taken into account, the relationship between diversity and program rankings becomes even stronger.
These findings clearly run counter to the expectations of affirmative action skeptics.
Diversity is related to success because it allows organizations to think outside the box by bringing previously excluded groups into their social and decision-making milieus. This process enhances an organization's creativity, problem solving, and performance. It is likely that diversity in universities — much like in business settings — produces positive outcomes because growth and innovation depend on people from various backgrounds working together and capitalizing on their differences. In short, diversity is not only good for educational institutions because it contributes to a cultural education. It also offers a direct return on investment by promising better reputational rankings.
Higher education is a fiercely competitive market in which organizations compete to recruit a diverse body of students and faculty. Leading universities strategize about how to gain a competitive edge in the rapidly changing academic marketplace and its new demographic reality.
Diversity is an essential ingredient for realizing and keeping a competitive advantage over other educational institutions.

What the hell is a Republican Party "elder"? I´m over 65 and I wasn´t there. Good grief a party run by the Bush family or any family is a party I´m not interested in. I want a party that is run by "we the people" who believe in the Republic and the Constitution! Where do I find such a party?

Greatly admired JEB as Florida Governor, but amnesty for illegal immigrants is already costing taxpayers hugely. It will guarantee a Democrat majority in government. Common Core is an abomination reminiscent of Hitler´s Youth. I have trouble thinking about those willing to sacrifice our children´s minds to Leftist/Muslim indoctrination. They tell us control will remain local, but what are the choices? We desperately need Conservatives (rather than Liberals) planning curriculums and writing textbooks! Agenda 21/global government means slavery -- not freedom.

Yes, me.Running Bush guarantees defeat. He actively repels constitutional conservatives, he is wrong on illegals, and he is misguided on education. He is politically tone deaf: He pinned a medal on Hillary Clinton on the eve of the anniversary of Benghazi. He has boat loads of name recognition, all of it bad. The media can´t wait to loathe him and link him to every questionable event in his father and brother´s presidency.If you nominate Bush, you deactivate our base and energize the Democrats. They can´t wait to run their anti-Bush play book one more time. You will repeat the errors of 2012 and suffer the same outcome.If winning is everything, pick a winner.

Certain Republican candidates understand they can´t talk about their real views and run for president as an R. So instead they say we´ve just got to win. As if after they win then things will be fine. Christy and Bush are examples. This ideology-free style of campaigning has been a massive failure for Republicans in at least the past half century. If these R´s gave up and admitted they were democrats, who would run against already declared democrats? No one. Trillions of dollars would be lost. The media would have no one to write about.

No one is forced to read these threads, and no one is obliged to comment. Jeb Bush could end this any time he wants. Instead, he chooses to give speeches and interviews claiming he hasn´t decided. Either Bush has decided not to run, and he just likes jerking people around, or he really hasn´t decided yet. If it´s the former, he is irresponsibly diverting time, attention, and resources away from other, viable candidates. If it´s the latter, we need to take him at his word and evaluate him as a potential candidate like everyone else.Either way, it´s a story some of us think is worth following.

I have a list of things, lets say it's movies to make it easy. All of these movies have genres, some have one, some have more then one, What I am trying to do is make a javascript filter that remove the unwanted movies (movies that does not fit the genres selected in the filter form) from the list.
It can be done by loading the whole list into a two dimensional array, and then regenerate the list every time the filter is changed using javascript. But that sounds very crude and resource demanding, I want it to happen instantly, and with this method it might be very slow on computers with limited resources.
I thought about giving each item in the list an id and hide them those that does not fit the filter, but I couldn't figure out how to do the actual filtering this way.
Any other ideas on how to do this more effectively?

Airbnb valued at $13 billion, up from $10 billion earlier this year
According to people familiar with the matter, Airbnb's valuation is set to expand up to $13 billion, up from $10 billion earlier this year, reports CNBC.
The community-driven hospitality company, if valued at $13 billion, would come second only to Uber "in the rankings of Silicon Valley's most valuable private companies". Airbnb doesn't have a CEO, after Andrew Swain left last month, which should push out the IPO, if there was one any time soon, to sometime in 2015.
In order for Airbnb employees to cash in on some of their stock between now and the IPO, the company is in discussions with existing investors about allowing them to buy back tens of millions of dollars worth of shares, according to CNBC's sources. This cash injection won't be going into new capital for the company, but instead it would reportedly go to staff.
Microsoft posts record revenue, Surface sales are helping, a lot
Microsoft has posted a somewhat surprising quarterly financial report, which even exceeded analysts' expectations. The Redmond-based giant posted $5.48 billion in operating income, with $4.5 billion in net income from $23.2 billion in revenue.
When compared against the results from the same quarter of last year, Microsoft's revenue has increased by 255, but net income is down 14%. The company explains this slump of $1.14 billion because of "integration and restructuring expenses" after acquiring Nokia's Devices and Services business.
One of the bigger surprises, is that Microsoft's Surface division has performed extremely well. The Surface division posted an increase in revenue of a huge 127%, compared to the same three-month period from last year. The Surface Pro 3 has been successful for the company, with $908 million in revenue with positive gross margin, and will soon be Microsoft's next billion-dollar business. When it comes to the Lumia division at Microsoft, it sold 9.3 million handsets for the quarter, an increase of 6% on the same period of last year.
Netflix announces three new original series for 2015

SandForce 2.0 - Tidal Systems Takes Shape
We recently discovered a new SSD controller design company is forming and many of the names involved are familiar. The group is headed up by CEO and co-founder Mike Lee. Mr. Lee's former employer was SK Hynix, where he was the Director of SSD SOC Development for the Link A Media Devices team (LAMD).
At this time, details nearly nonexistent other than a few bits of information scattered around the web. The above image started our hunt for more information. Many in the photo are former SandForce, LSI and Skyera employees and all are now with Tidal Systems.
We've often wondered what affects SandForce ping pong would have on employees. SandForce was first acquired by LSI, then LSI was acquired by Avago and then SandForce was spun off to Seagate. SandForce founder, CMO and former NVIDIA nForce chipset architect Radoslav Danilak started Skyera to focus on all-flash enterprise storage a few years ago. At least a handful of the pre-LSI SandForce team went with him. Skyera already has two products on the market, skyHawk and skyEagle.
We did find a short description about Tidal Systems online:
Leveraging our Revolutionary DATA-Compression and Error-Correction (LDPC) Algorithms to create most Powerful System Controller (SoC) and related firmware/software systems solutions to address fast growing NAND Flash Memory based storage products, which is essential for Cloud Computing; Big Data Center; Smartphone, Tablet PC and all Ultra-Portable Computing Appliance.
In short, they will make flash controllers. We wish the team good luck and hope to be the first to test the new products when ready.
LG unveils its new 8-core 'NUCLUN' processor, new G3 Screen smartphone
LG has announced its new G3 Screen smartphone, but something much more interesting is being launched simultaneously: LG's new "NUCLUN" processor. LG's new chip is an 8-core processor built on ARM's big.LITTLE technology, featuring four 1.5GHz cores, with four 1.2GHz cores.
The faster 1.5GHz cores will be doing the heavy lifting while the four 1.2GHz cores will be doing all of the less processor-intensive stuff. LG says that NUCLUN is "designed to support the next generation of 4G networks, LTE-A Cat.6, for maximum download speeds of up to 225Mbps while retaining backward compatibility with current LTE networks". LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company President and CEO, Dr. Jong-seok Park, said: "NUCLUN opens up a new chapter in LG's history of innovation in the mobile industry. With this in-house solution, we will be able to achieve better vertical integration and further diversity our product strategy against stronger competition. NUCLUN will give us greater flexibility in our mobile strategy going forward".
As for the G3 Screen, we have a 5.9-inch Full HD IPS-based panel, the aforementioned and very impressive sounding NUCLUN processor, 2GB of RAM, 32GB of on-board flash expandable through microSD, a 13-megapixel rear-facing camera with OIS backed up by a 2.1-megapixel camera for selfies, Android 4.4 KitKat, and a 3000mAh battery.

The last time we heard about Assassin's Creed: Unity was just a couple of weeks ago, when we reported that the game will be running at 900p and 30FPS on both the Xbox One and PS4 so that it will "avoid all the debates" about resolutions between the consoles.
Well, the PC requirements have been released by Ubisoft, with Assassin's Creed: Unity requiring 6GB of RAM, a 64-bit version of Windows 7/8 or 8.1, and 50GB of HDD space. You'll need, at a minimum, Intel's Core i5-2500K, or AMD's FX-8350 or Phenom II x4 940. Ubisoft recommends an Intel Core i7-3770, or AMD FX-8350 or better. When it comes to RAM, 6GB is required, while 8GB is recommended.
On the GPU side of things, Ubisoft requires you to have an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 or AMD Radeon HD 7970, while a GeForce GTX 780 or Radeon R9 290X is recommend. Holy hell: a GeForce GTX 680 or Radeon HD 7970 is required to even get the game up and running? That's actually quite shocking.

Xbox One screenshot feature 'more challenging' than Microsoft thought
The ability to take screenshots on Microsoft's next-gen console isn't something you can do right now, with the simple screenshot taking ability meant to come in the December update, but it has been revealed that it won't be happening just yet.
Xbox boss Phil Spencer has come out and said: "It's a little more technically challenging than I thought. Two weeks ago, they think they've found a good solution for screenshots. They're working on it. They know people want it. The team has a path to getting it done, and now it's just prioritizing".
Microsoft is pushing out its December update soon, with it being smaller than some of the previous updates to the Xbox One. Spencer has said that it's time "for us to pause for a little bit and settle just as all the new consoles are coming online". What do you think? Excuses? A closed-off system like the Xbox One should've had screenshot taking abilities from day one, it's not like we're talking heavy stuff here, like 1080p at 30FPS, let alone 1080p at 60FPS - there's no hardware change in letting gamers take screenshots.
New York City hospital diagnoses first Ebola case
Following the Texas Ebola outbreak from earlier this month, the virus has now appeared in the city that never sleeps, with the first case being diagnosed at New York's Bellevue Hospital.
According to the New York Times, the patient identified as Dr Craig Spencer, returned from Guinea earlier in the week after assisting 'Doctors without borders' in treating patients with the virus. Fears have been heightened after Dr Spencer had significant contact with the population upon his return, travelling from Manhattan to Brooklyn on the subway on Wednesday night, going to a bowling alley and then catching a taxi.
Authorities have long feared that the virus would be unleashed in a densely packed area and with a population of over 8 million people packed on a tiny island, authorities have now been put on high alert.
PlayStation Experience tickets available tomorrow for December event
The Sony PlayStation Experience event will take place December 6-7 at the Sands Expo and Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. Tickets will go on sale starting tomorrow, and one day passes will cost $50, while two-day passes will be available for $90.
The event will feature 400,000 square feet of PlayStation games, with panels, contests, signings, giveaways, and collective memorabilia open to attendees. This is a unique offering from Sony, trying to provide an event to PlayStation fans in a smaller, more personal setting than E3, CES, and other major industry trade shows.
Would you fork over $50 or $90 to head to Vegas to enjoy some PlayStation-themed entertainment?

Active Na+ transport by the alveolar epithelium plays a major role in reabsorption of the fetal lung fluid after birth. We characterized the biochemical and physiological characteristics of Na+ conductive pathways in distal fetal lung epithelial (FLE) cells isolated from 20-day-old rat fetuses. We demonstrated that a polyclonal antibody to Na+ channel protein (NaAb) binds to the plasma membranes of FLE cells. In Western blot studies, this NaAb and an anti-idiotypic monoclonal antibody to the amiloride-binding subunit of the Na+ channel protein recognized 150- and 90-kDa polypeptides in plasma membrane vesicles of FLE. 22Na+ flux measurements across plasma membrane vesicles of FLE revealed the existence of electrogenic Na+ transport, which was twice as high as the corresponding adult value. One hundred micromolars of amiloride, benzamil, and 5-(N-ethyl-N-isopropyl)-2'-4'-amiloride inhibited 30, 40, and 70% of the electrogenic Na+ transport across plasma membrane vesicles of FLE cells, respectively. The half-maximum inhibition of electrogenic Na+ transport by these substances occurred between 0.3 and 1 microM. [3H]benzamil equilibrium binding studies in membrane vesicles of FLE cells revealed the existence of two binding sites that had dissociation constant values of 19 and 1,525 nM, respectively. These data indicate the presence of both high- and low-amiloride affinity Na+ conductive pathways (channels) in FLE cells.

text: Breitbart/Judicial Watch Poll: A Warning Against Compromise Print article Send a Tip by Joel B. Pollak 8 Nov 2012 post a comment The Breitbart News Network/Judicial Watch post-election survey released today is a warning to those who have argued, in the wake of the 2012 election, that the way for the Republican Party to broaden its appeal is to compromise on core principles of limited government and the rule of law. For example, many pundits--including some conservatives--have argued that Republicans should embrace "amnesty" on immigration as a way of reversing the party's decline among the growing Latino voting population. Yet the pundits are making their proclamations without any data to support them. The Breitbart News/Judicial Watch survey, conducted by Public Opinion Strategies, revealed that: 71% of voters agree that big government leads to corruption, and 85% of voters are concerned about corruption, but voters do not trust either party to clean up Washington 77% of voters believe the media was biased in favor of one candidate 61% of voters embrace Arizona-style immigration laws, including 40% of Hispanics 76% of voters--and a majority within EVERY minority group--favor photo ID for voting In short, voters agree with many conservative positions on policy and governance, but do not trust either party to enact them. The Republican Party in particular failed to make the case--and to turn out the vote--in 2012. The Breitbart News/Judicial Watch survey did not focus on social issues. However, a larger data pool collected by Public Opinion Strategies reveals that Mitt Romney won a higher percentage of the pro-choice vote than President Barack Obama did of the pro-life vote. The Democrats' campaign on social issues was not aimed at winning over independents, who narrowly favored Romney in the election, but at motivating the party's base--and at maximizing damage to the Republican Party's image and message. The conclusion to be drawn is that the Republican Party's problem is not where it stands on the issues, but its popular image, its past record, and its ability to compete for votes and support. That data-driven conclusion--rather than the compromises offered by pundits on the party's behalf--should guide discussions about the future.

Mouse appearance settings (from themes) not saved after reboot
I'm using Win7 Ultimate x64 and I downloaded a Starcraft 2 Theme that changes the mouse cursor appearance. All is well after installing the theme but when I restart/shutdown the laptop, it will revert to the default mouse cursor appearance. Weird thing is that when I go to the "Mouse" settings in Control Panel, I can see that the appearance settings there are the Starcraft 2 mouse appearance settings but "until" I press OK to close the Mouse settings windows will the mouse cursor appearance change to the Starcraft 2 appearance.
Why is this happening? I have two mouse drivers in my laptop. One is a generic driver installed when I plug in my logitech wireless mouse and the other one is a Sentelic Touchpad driver for this laptop.
Please help. Thanks.

text: For the last twenty-one years Iraq has had a huge power supply problem. Its electricity network was largely destroyed in the 1991 Gulf War, and while it has recovered since the 2003 invasion, the national grid has never been able to meet demand. Usage has exploded since the fall of Saddam Hussein, because of a huge increase in consumer products available in the country. Baghdad has consistently failed to close the gap, and has faced some monumental failures in its attempts to do so. Kurdistan on the other hand, has almost solved the issue, because of better spending and planning. Despite this history, the new Electricity Minister is promising a boost in output in the summer of 2012, and a final solution to the problem in two years time.

New York City police say they've arrested a woman after she offered an undercover officer a $60,000 stamp collection to kill her husband.
Police say Elena Adams was arrested Thursday and charged with conspiracy and criminal solicitation. They say the 57-year-old met with an undercover officer inside a car in the Sheepshead Bay neighborhood of Brooklyn to discuss the murder-for-hire plot.
Police say Adams told the officer her husband should be struck by a hit-and-run driver on Sunday as he crossed a street after lunch. They say Adams gave the investigator a picture of her husband, the stamp collection and jewelry.
Adams was arrested at the scene. She's in custody and unavailable for comment. A home phone number listed in her name is out of order, and there's no available information about an attorney for her.

Book Description:
A spirited and intimate look at American icon and activist Pete Seeger. Throughout his life, Pete Seeger transformed a classic American musical style into a form of peaceful protest against war, segregation, and nuclear weapons. Drawing on his extensive talks with Seeger, Alec Wilkinson delivers a first hand look at Seeger's unique blend of independence and commitment, charm, courage, energy, and belief in human equality and American democracy. We see Seeger as a child, instilled with a love of music by his parents; as a teenager, hearing real folk music for the first time; as a young adult, singing with Woody Guthrie. And finally, Seeger the man marching with the Rev. Martin Luther King in Selma, standing up to McCarthyism, and fighting for his beloved Hudson River. The gigantic life captured in this slender volume is truly an American anthem.
