Hacking my template
In response to that (I wouldn't want you to think that I wasn't listening!) I have made a few tweaks to the current site. Mind you, this is not the big redesign I was talking about (which I am now seriously considering Wordpress. Any thoughts?). I don't want to do too much on this template since I won't be using it in the redesign. But I do want to make sure that your experience on this site, while I work on the new design for the next coupla months, is a lot more useful and friendly. So here goes:
Many of you asked for:
1. Better navigation
- I've added the "older" and "newer" posts links at the bottom of the page. Hope that takes away the frustration of browsing the archives.
- Related posts complete with thumbnails are now under each post.
2. Better search
- Under the existing categories section, I've added a drop down menu of all available Labels.
- I've also begun adding the Ikea names of the items hacked into the Labels. I do still forget some times. So do bear with me while I get the hang of it.
3. Less clutter
- I've increased the size of the left content area, as some of you mentioned, to give it space to breathe. This lets me include bigger photos too.
- Removed the Recent Comments (which many didn't find useful), moved the Friends Link List to a dedicated page. Tidied up things in general.
- Used images for the Top Hacks instead of text. I kinda like this alot myself! :)
Little tweaks. But it's an improvement, don't you think?

I still think there are too many ads, but I appreciate everything you've done, it looks much better.
ReplyDelete Very nice improvements!
I'm loving the images for the Top Hacks! Adding the names of Ikea items being hacked to the labels is a great idea.
My vote is that you should try out WordPress and see if you like it, and if you do, go ahead and switch. I love WP, personally, and you'll have better control over your site if you're hosting it yourself anyway. :D- AnonymousApril 26, 2010 9:53 AM
Definitely a big improvement, but there really is no excuse for having the giant slipcover ad as the first thing you see on the page. You are actually hurting yourself by doing that. User experience has to come before ad placement if you want a blog to be successful. The reason for this is because it will lead to more users, and thus more ad revenue. No one wants to work to look through a site and even despite your fantastic improvements you are still hiding the important navigation in between ads and too far down on the page. This blog has so much potential! It just needs better organization and visual hierarchy to make it really sing. Take a look at how other incredibly successful blogs set up their navigation, I would suggest using that as inspiration. Organizing the flow of a blog is so important.
ReplyDelete I'm going to be honest, I don't really use most of the navigation features since I'm coming in via an RSS feed whenever the site is updated.
Wordpress is great these days, and I highly recommend hosting it yourself. The administration interface has come a long ways since the early 2.0 days, and works rather well.Great improvements!
A switch to Wordpress does sound like a good idea.
A lot of people do seem to be bothered by the ads on the site but I think that's largely because the site looks quite cluttered (as is very common in blog type websites). The slipcover advert doesn't bother me too much since it looks the most integrated one. The adverts under articles, however, seem quite cut-and-pasted and don't match up with the style as it stands. A easy improvement would be to migrate from a square advert there to a banner/strip type advert or if you keep an advert there then have some borders to make it clear where an article ends and an advert begins.
The cluttered look of the site is very apparent on the navigation bar too since it's got loads of different styled items, different fonts, different image sizes etc. Some of the stuff just doesn't need to be there in my opinion. The Friends section, translate section, CC logo, shout outs bit etc. The shout outs don't appear to use links that earn you any revenue so maybe giving people free advertising at the cost of site clutter may not be ideal.
A cleaner look would be a real plus in your new site design and features such as optional notifications for comments will increase your page views and regular visitors. I'd also suggest you consider a no-ads version of your site for a small yearly fee. A few people paying a small amount direct could mean that you have more money to spend on running the site/getting help/reducing advertising on the free site.
A cleaner look doesn't have to mean less information though. A site that I frequent with an efficient design is www.macrumors.com. Articles are clearly separated and never have adverts inside the article body. It's clear where articles, sections or adverts begin and end. There's an incredible amount of information given in the two columns on each side yet it doesn't look de-cluttered since the font and general styling is highly consistent. They also have a paid version (which I subscribe to) which removes all adverts (as well as several other bonuses). Since this isn't an active forum site I don't think the subscription could be as high but I would definitely be willing to part with say $10 a year for zero adverts.i'll have part of the information you put in the right white column in the grey left column. for example, the facebook and twitter part, the flags translation part and the archives too.
or, if the grey columns are non-writing ones, then think about shading them a little darker, not too much, just a shade/tone or two, and slimmer.
you may also evaluate the possibility of create a kind of a damier on the right column, that will give the site some order at first sight.
my two cents- AnonymousApril 26, 2010 6:24 PM
I agree with most of the praise for what you've done so far, but like others have said, and you are aware of, there is still more to go.
Phil made a ton of great points I second as well as anonymous regarding that slipcover ad.
Two small things that have always bugged me are that clicking the header doesn't lead you back to the home page, you have to click the teeny home tab, and that the header graphics appear pixelated. It looks like it was scanned off a napkin and touched up in Microsoft Paint. I agree on making the header image a link to the main page. It's pretty much a web standard, and I keep clicking on it expecting it to take me there.
There are many great webhosts out there for about $5/mo. That plus WordPress would really give you a lot more creative control over your site, and allow for an easier experience for users. On Blogger, even when I'm signed in to my Blogger account, trying to post a comment is a an overly-long process. I type a comment, click Post, and then it refreshes and I have to type in a code to make my comment appear. Spam is bad and all, but I bet many people are turned off by the long commenting process and just don't bother.
Everyone is free to comment but IKEAHackers.net reserves the right to remove comments that do not contribute constructively to the discussion, contain profanity, personal attacks or seek to promote a personal or unrelated business. SPAM will be deleted.
If you have a Blogger profile, you can click on the SUBSCRIBE BY EMAIL link that will show up below and receive all follow up comments on the hack via email.

Ryanair: Rzeszow to Bristol
- Depart: Rzeszow, Poland - Rzeszow-Jasionka (RZE)
- Arrive: Bristol, United Kingdom - Bristol International (BRS)
- Website: ryanair.com
About this flight
The carrier: Ryanair
The big daddy of them all, Irish low-cost carrier Ryanair maintains the most awe-inspiring route map and tends to add new destinations (and cancel unprofitable routes) at blistering, breakneck speed. Founded in 1985, Ryanair was Europe's original low fares airline and is still Europe's largest low fares carrier. At current count, Ryanair operates well over 1000 routes, from Inverness to Brindisi; Tampere to Tenerife.
It's easy to have lots of opinions about Ryanair; we certainly do. It's a big monster of an airline. We've been pleased as punch on Ryanair, psyched to take advantage of insanely cheap fares, and we've also been annoyed beyond belief with the airline, distressed by enormous surcharges on too-heavy luggage and staff who appear to be completely clueless.
With Ryanair more than with the other airlines we describe here, it pays to be informed about potential penalties and pitfalls.
Massive number of destinations. Really cheap fares.
Numerous extra charges when booking. Customer care isn't a priority. Food prices on board very steep.
* Carry-on: One piece of luggage not to exceed 10 kg.
* Checked: Up to 3 bags with a combined weight of 15 kg. If booked on-line using Ryanair, the first bag is €15 and the second and third bags are €20 each. Over 15 kg, €15 per kg at the airport. Please note that Ryanair increases the price by €5 in July and August.
* Please visit Ryanair's website for more information on its baggage policy.
Since Ryanair is free for all when it comes to landing seats, it can sometimes be worth it to pay the €5 for priority boarding. In advance, book priority boarding status online, if you hold an EU passport.
Check-in and Ticketing
If you check in at the airport, you will also incur a €5 fee. The fee is €10 at the airport. Note that American passengers can only check in at the airport. Online check-in is available from 15 days to 4 hours before departure. The boarding pass can be printed until 40 minutes before departure. If you lose your pass then you will have to pay a fee to have a new one reissued. Bag drop closes 40 minutes before departure, so if you check-in online you must make sure to have your bags in on time.
Book online whenever possible because fees are significantly reduced. Also familiarize yourself with Ryanair's table of fees.
more...Departure: Rzeszow, Poland - Rzeszow-Jasionka (RZE)

Arrival: Bristol, United Kingdom - Bristol International (BRS)
In addition to serving as a major base for easyJet and Ryanair, Bristol takes quite a bit of charter air traffic. Once we took both the low-cost and the charter activity into account, we realized that Bristol may be one of our most heavily trafficked airports for budget-oriented flyers. Bristol is also southwest England's biggest airport. Location: Bristol International Airport is located 13 km (8 miles) south of Bristol city center. Transport: - Rail: The closest rail connection to Bristol International Airport is at the Bristol Temple Meads station, seven miles away. The Bristol International Flyer express coach service connects from Bristol Temple Meads to the airport every 15 minutes at peak times.

First Group also runs a bus service to the airport with many stops en route. For a specific schedule check the company's Official Website. - Taxi: The Checker Cars company provides service at Bristol International Airport. Bookings can be made on their Website. Service: In the airport there are information desks, a few shops and places to grab a bite to eat, as well as a currency exchange. more...

Each Member State decides on the form its election will take, but follows identical democratic groundrules: equality of the sexes and a secret ballot. In all Member States, the voting age is 18, with the exception of Austria, where it is 16. European elections are already governed by a number of common principles: direct universal suffrage, proportional representation and a five-year renewable term.
The seats are, as a general rule, shared out proportionately to the population of each Member State.
Equality of men and women: the proportion of women in the European Parliament has risen steadily. At present slightly over one third of MEPs are women.
MEPs divide their time between Brussels, Strasbourg and their constituencies.
In Brussels they attend meetings of the parliamentary committees and political groups, and additional plenary sittings. In Strasbourg they attend 12 plenary sittings. In parallel with these activities they must also, of course, devote time to their constituencies.
The Members of the European Parliament are grouped by political affinity and not by nationality.
They exercise their mandate in an independent fashion.
Members of the European Parliament, whose powers have become more and more extensive, influence every area of the day to day life of the European public: the environment, consumer protection and transport, as well as education, culture, health etc.
The new Statute for Members of the European Parliament entered into force on 14 July 2009. The new Statute makes the terms and conditions of MEPs' work more transparent and introduces a common salary for all Members paid from the EU budget.

Cellar/Tasting Notes Burghound Review:"Moderate wood influence sets off intensely earthy ripe red berry fruit aromas that sit atop the rich, pure and relatively fine middle weight flavors that possess very good depth and length. This moderately structured effort is a quality Savigny villages and worth considering."
Cellar/Tasting Notes " stunning purity and precision deep, pure and very stony in personality, with a great core of fruit, utterly refined, but serious tannins, bright acids and superb focus and grip on the very long, soil-driven finish."

ADHT Demand Pulaski County Quorum Court Take a Vote on Broadway Bridge
By: Deedra Wilson
Updated: January 31, 2013
The Pulaski County Quorum Court in an emergency meeting
Thursday, after the Arkansas Department of Highway and Transportation demands a
decision on the rebuilding of the Broadway Bridge.
The ADHT says a decision needs to be made quickly or they
can stand to lose millions in federal funding.
It will cost up to 25 million to rehab the bridge that
connects Little Rock to North Little Rock.
While the bridge is not a safety risk, it is 90 years old
and needs to be replaced, says ADHT.
If a new bridge is built you can expect 5 lanes and a
pedestrian walk way.

SERVES:makes one 9 x 5-inch loaf
1 lightly packed cup light brown sugarscant 1/2 cup smooth peanut butter2 large eggs2 ripe medium size bananas2 cups all-purpose flour1 tsp baking soda1/2 tsp table salt (or 1 tsp kosher salt)1/2 cup milk chocolate chips1/3 cup milk
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and butter and lightly flour one 9 x 5 inch loaf pan.
Add one lightly packed cup of light brown sugar to a large mixing bowl and add a scant 1/2 cup smooth peanut butter and use a rubber spatula to cream those together.
Then add two large eggs and mix those in.....and then add two medium size ripe bananas and use a fork to mash those into the mix.
Next, use another mixing bowl to combine 2 cups all-purpose flour with 1 tsp baking soda, 1/2 tsp salt and 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips and toss to combine.
Alternately add the dry ingredients to the peanut butter and banana mix with 1/3 cup milk.......and then transfer that to the prepared loaf pan and place it onto the center rack of the preheated oven.
That's going to take just about one hour to bake and you'll want to use a toothpick to check it for doneness.
At that point, let it cool down for a few minutes in the pan and then carefully turn it out onto a cooling rack to finish cooling down.
Substitute semi-sweet chips if you like.

I think a part of the reason why the suspension is so many games is because he cause injury and it was to a star player. The NHL is easily professional sports' worst, most inconsistant group when it comes to disciplinary punishment.
In this case, I'm a little taken back by the suspension, but dont see it as harsh as it was a pretty blatant elbow to the head and I think if Sedin wasnt injured he would have gotten a suspension for his hit as well

Call Valley Auto Care to make an appointment to check your transmission in Apple Valley.
7125 151st St. West, Suite 105
Apple Valley, Minnesota 55124
Do you have any plans around Apple Valley Minnesota for the weekend? Maybe you and some friends and are taking the boat up to the lake. Maybe you'll be having a lot of fun water skiing and doing a little fishing.
You got the boat all ready. It's all gassed up. You packed lots of snacks and the cooler's stocked – ready to go.
How about your tow vehicle? It has plenty of gas and you've even vacuumed it out, but is your auto maintenance up to date?
Stop and think. You'll have some heavy traffic on your way out of town. Hilly terrain as you get to the lake. Some dirt roads – and it may be hot weather. And all the time you're going to be towing around several thousand extra pounds.
That all adds up a lot of severe strain on your engine, brakes and transmission. Your transmission's going to be working overtime, spending more time in lower gears. The internal transmission temperature is going to be much higher than normal. What's a fun little blast to the lake for you is really severe duty for your transmission.
It's important that you have enough transmission fluid. If you're running low, the transmission will run to hot and won't have the protection it needs to cope with the added stress of towing.
And if it's time for a transmission service, you really should have it done at Valley Auto Care before your trip. Transmission fluid breaks down and gets dirty over time. Whether you have an automatic or manual transmission, you need to have it serviced on schedule to make sure it runs efficiently.
Automatic transmissions contain a maze of passages that the fluid has to pass through to keep it shifting smoothly. If you neglect transmission service, the passages can get clogged up and you start to have problems. Neglect your transmission for too long, and it can fail. Believe us – you don't want to pay for a major transmission repair.
You know, most of us in Apple Valley Minnesota do a lot of our driving under severe conditions. Towing or hauling a big load is obvious, but there are lots of other things that constitute severe driving conditions. Things like short trips or driving in very hot or very cold weather. Also, dusty roads, city driving around Apple Valley, and basically any driving that's not at highway speeds or under ideal conditions is severe driving. We all need to think about whether or not we need to follow the severe service schedule.
So, consider going in for a full service oil change before you leave for the lake to make sure everything has been looked at. Ask for a trip inspection while you're at it. Your Apple Valley Minnesota service technician at Valley Auto Care can check your belts and hoses and let you know if your brakes are in good shape.
Don't forget the sunscreen. And to thank your Apple Valley service technician, how about bringing him back a nice trout?

Let's talk about transmission service. It can be easy to forget about getting your transmission serviced because it doesn't need it very often. It's easy to remember to change the engine oil - you know, every 3,000 miles or 5,000 kilometers. But proper transmission servicing keeps your car running smoothly and helps you avoid costly repairs down the road.
The transmission undergoes a lot of stress. The grit you see in used transmission fluid is actually bits of metal that wear off the gears in the transmission. In addition to that, the transmission operates at very high temperatures. Usually it's 100 to 150 degrees higher than engine temperatures. Those high temperatures eventually cause the transmission fluid to start to break down and loose efficiency.
As the fluid gets older, it gets gritty and doesn't lubricate and cool the transmission as well - leading to even more wear. The fluid can actually get sludgy and plug up the maze of fluid passages inside the transmission. At best, your transmission won't operate smoothly. At worse, it could lead to costly damage.
When your transmission is running properly, it transfers more power from your engine to the drive wheels, and improves fuel economy. That's why manufacturers recommend changing your transmission fluid at regular intervals. Your owner's manual has a schedule for transmission service and, of course, your service center can tell you what the manufacturer recommends.
Hot and dusty conditions; towing, hauling, stop and go conditions and jack rabbit starts all increase the load on the transmission and its internal temperature. That means you need to change the fluid more often. A good rule of thumb is every 35,000 miles, 55,000 kilometers or two years. If your manufacturer suggests more frequent intervals or if you're driving under severe service conditions, you will need to change it more often.
Most service centers have the ability to perform a transmission service while you wait and the cost is quite reasonable. It's downright cheap when you think about how much a major transmission repair can cost! Your service technician will know the right type of transmission fluid to use. If it's getting to be time to have your transmission serviced, do your car a favor and have it done. If not this time, then on your next service stop.

Put the Brakes on Tab Theft
- New Enhanced Security Tabs available at certain office locations.
- How to Replace Stolen Plates and Tabs.
Make your new license plate tabs more theft-proof. Put them in the middle!
The Missouri Department of Revenue (department) recommends that you place your license plate tabs in the MIDDLE of your license plates to help prevent tab theft.
Below is helpful tab placement information for renewed plates and new plates, as well as instructions to replace stolen tabs.
Several years ago, the department changed the placement of license plate year tabs, moving them from the lower right-hand corner to the center of the license plate (for regular license plates only, not personalized or specialty plates) as an effort to help reduce tab theft. The standard license plate also now features an indention in the middle of the plate to reduce the risk of tab theft.
The middle tab placement applies to all license plate types EXCEPT:
- Specialty plates (such as Children's Trust Fund, civic group, or collegiate)
- Personalized plates
- Motorcycle plate
In early 2007 by internet vote, Missourians selected a new license plate design that will go much further in reducing tab theft and improving enforcement of the state's motor vehicle laws. The new design, which features a blue bird (Missouri's state bird) sitting on a Hawthorn branch (Missouri's state flower), will improve the plate's visibility to law enforcement and ensure collection of state and local sales taxes and local property taxes. The Missouri State Highway Patrol aided the advisory committee to help ensure that the new plate would be easy to read for law enforcement and would provide features to reduce tab theft.
Renewal License Plate Tabs
Customers who are renewing their plates will simply place the year tab in the middle.
CAUTION: If you have current tabs on the corners of your license plates, DO NOT attempt to remove them in order to place them in the middle. THEY WILL DISINTEGRATE and you will have to pay a replacement fee to obtain new ones.
New License Plate Tabs
New Passenger/RV, Truck, Motorcycle, and Disabled license plates issued after June 16, 2008, will have only the year tabs in the middle. This will be done for you by the clerk when receiving your new plates. (See diagram)
How to Replace Stolen Plates and Tabs
If you are the victim of tab theft, you may receive up to TWO sets of replacement plates or tabs per year AT NO COST when your application and notarized affidavit are accompanied by a corresponding police report verifying that such license plates or tabs were stolen. A $3.50 processing fee will apply.
To replace your license plates or tabs, or both:
- Complete, sign, and have notarized an Application for Replacement Plates/Tabs (Form 1576). You must indicate on the form the reason for the replacement; and
- Submit the appropriate fee:
- Replacement License Plates - $17 (per set) replacement plate fee, plus a $3.50 processing fee.
- Replacement Tabs only - $8.50 replacement tab fee, plus a 3.50 processing fee.
Note: If you submit a corresponding police report, all fees except the $3.50 processing fee will be waived.
This transaction can be processed at any Missouri license office, or you may submit your application paperwork and fee, by mail, to:

Former Stanford Summer Session undergraduate student, Ms. Wangui Wangui Kariuki, shares her experiences from Summer Quarter 2012:
Creativity, innovation, motivation, and dedication cannot be forced. These are intangible elements that are fostered by inspiration from open environments where people interact freely (encouraging individuals to achieve personal breakthroughs through exchanging ideas, and challenging one another). In my view, Stanford is a great example of this because I believe it is a hub of inspiration, excellence, and growth - comprised of both academic and social aspects in equal measure.

Is she nursing and holding on in the sling picture? it melts my hearts... so sweet - love your blog! congrats on hazel :)
ReplyDelete Hi Leigh!
I've only been following your blog for a little while. I love that you are not afraid to be yourself and do your own thing, especially when it comes to doing the right things for your kids! I don't have any children, but I do have definite opinions on what I plan to do if I ever have them. I was an home birth baby and breastfeed until I was four.
To get to my point, it's great to see someone who fully embraces the beauty of being able to nourish their children by breastfeeding. I was also ecstatic to see that you had a home birth. I know hospitals are needed sometimes. I used to work in the N.I.C.U of one. But it's definitely a magical experience when you get to do it on your own terms, in your own home, surrounded by the ones you love.
You have a beautiful family, and I wish you the best of times getting to know the new baby! She is adorable.

The storm also prompted many companies to postpone their quarterly earnings reports, but others, including Ford, Archer Daniels Midland and TD Ameritrade Holding Corp still issued their results so those stocks may be active Wednesday.
Hertz, Mastercard, Visa, First Solar and Metlife are among the firms on tap to post results Wednesday.
While investors will have quite a bit of corporate news to get through, economic data that has come out over the last two days in the United States or abroad hasn't been "earth-shattering," said Peter Tuz, president of Chase Investment Counsel.
But investors will also be gearing up for the crucial October jobs report, which is scheduled to come out Friday. It will be the final reading on the health of the job market before the presidential election next week. While there has been some concern about the report being delayed, the Bureau of Labor Statistics says it is working hard to stay on schedule.

Same here, I woke up to the rain. Very light rain! loL!
Cute outfit, I love the details in the sweater. The shorts a distressed very well, I love mine :)
Beautiful pictures and outfit, I love the shorts and cardigan!
that oversized cardi is gorgeous.. ive recently bought a few for the coming winter!!
helen x
Perfect outfit, i love cardigan and boots with socks! you looks like happy XD!
Nice Sunday!
Hello Aimee!
I'm a new follower, and I must say, I am really in love with your blog and your personality that shines through the photos. The photography by your bf is amazing, btw. I love how it captures your beauty gorgeously. I adore all of your outfits and really admire your taste in fashion. You're an inspiration!
I really enjoy looking at all of your photos, especially the Chapter 3: Saints & Sinners shoot and the Enchanted Tea Party shoot as well. I also love the Threadsence shoot and your everyday pics--I love ALL of your photos! You're quite tall--may I ask how tall?
I don't know how you two manage to use SF and turn it into such amazing backdrops for your photos, but I go there quite often (I go to school in Berkeley), and it's always cloudy, gloomy, or raining! Even when the sun is out, it's WAY too cold/chilly to wear a skirt or dress, at least for me. The weather this year has been so horrible--it's April and STILL raining...I really don't know wth is going on with Mother Nature in the Bay Area. She's being a crazy bipolar psycho right now.
Looking at your photos, I wonder--do you get cold when you wear your skirts, dresses and shorts (since it's often cold even though the sun is out)? Just want to know if it's just me that's weak sauce and gets cold easily, despite the sunshine.
I love this outfit!
Great socks with the boots.
Your sweater is great too!
Xo Veronica
None of the H&Ms near me ever had those socks, and I never seem to be able to find something similar! I have these but they just don't always do the trick.

"It was a classic textbook interrogation that was going on. The only question is whether she was in custody right?" said Torpy.
"She's not summoned. She's asked to come and she does voluntarily," said Assistant State Attorney Wesley Heidt.
Prosecutors tell WESH-TV in Orlando that the judges could take anywhere from a week to months to come up with their decision.
Attorneys for Gonzalez have postponed that trial until the judges render their decision, in hopes she can no longer plead the Fifth Amendment.
Anthony was found not guilty of the more serious charges she faced in the death of her daughter, Caylee Marie Anthony.

London Whale seven received $105m over two years
15 Mar 2013The seven staff in JP Morgan's Chief Investment Office in London, the source of a $6.2bn trading loss last year, were paid a total of $105m between 2010 and 2011, according to a Senate report.
The Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations yesterday issued a 301-page report called 'JP Morgan Chase Whale Trades: A Case History of Derivatives and Risks and Abuses.'
The report includes a table of the compensation of the team in the bank's Chief Investment Office in London, which managed a synthetic credit portfolio dubbed the London Whale trades, that caused losses of at least $6.2bn in 2012. We outline the compensation figures below:
JP Morgan did not respond to calls seeking comment. Drew, Macris, Martin-Artajo and Iksil were unavailable for comment.
Achilles Macris - $31.75m
The former head of the CIO's London office was the highest paid, receiving $17.25m in 2010 and $14.5m in 2011. In both years his compensation was more than the highest pay package in the investment bank of $15m in 2010 and $12.8m in 2011, according to the report.
Ina Drew - $29m
Drew, the ex-chief investment officer, was paid $15m in 2010 and $14m in 2011, according to the report.
Javier Martin-Artajo – $23.73m
The former trading supervisor in the CIO was awarded $12.75m in 2010, which the report said was slightly less than the $13.3m paid to the top investment banking managing directors in Europe that year. In 2011 the bank paid Martin-Artajo $10.98m, more than the $10.5m awarded to the top investment banking managing directors in the region.
Buno Iksil - $14.08m
The trader, nicknamed the "London Whale", received $7.32m in 2010 and $6.76m the following year.
Three other CIO traders received a total of $6.54m over 2010 and 2011.
The Senate report said: "The compensation data for both Macris and Martin-Artajo, which shows them receiving incentive pay worth millions of dollars each year, indicates that their compensation moved in tandem with and reflected Synthetic Credit Portfolio profits, which peaked in 2009 with $1bn in revenues, and then diminished in 2010 and 2011. Iksil's pay did not follow the same pattern, however, peaking instead in 2010. All three employees also received positive performance reviews in those years.
The JP Morgan Task Force Report noted that two of the CIO traders "maintained a strong focus on daily, monthly and quarterly profit -and-loss numbers, and were acutely concerned about mounting losses in the Synthetic Credit Portfolio. It also stated that "[t]he Task Force [] found little in the form of direct evidence to reveal what [employees] were thinking about their own specific compensation as they made decisions with respect to the Synthetic Credit Portfolio.
But at least one of the traders contemplated what would occur after the SCP suffered large losses. In a March 23, 2012 email, after a day of large losses, Bruno Iksil wrote: "I am going to be hauled over the coals. ... [Y] ou don't lose 500 M[illion] without consequences."
JP Morgan and Drew were unavailable for comment. Macris, Martin-Artajo and Iksil could not be contacted.

Responsive Web Design, Not Responding :S
I have been trying to get my new site template to adapt to mobile devices. So far it works when I resize the browser window. Problem is it doesn't work on mobile devices. It displays as a regular web page.
Here is the web page: http://opelm.com/test/
If anyone can offer me a solution, and even suggestions as to what I must add to my site in terms of CSS that would be helpful.
I'm new to this whole responsive design thing.
Thanks!It's working in iOS. What mobile device are you using?I tried on my friends iPhone4 and on his Android phone. To be honest I don't have a smartphone myself Lol so testing is a pain.I'm not sure if you are using media queries to specify css rules for your different devices/screen sizes, but for an iphone for you would need to use this media query, and put your iphone/phone css rules inside this query
/* iPhone 4 ----------- */
only screen and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio : 1.5),
only screen and (min-device-pixel-ratio : 1.5) {
/* Styles */
RyanOpelM, you can test using iOS and many Android browsers at BrowserStack.com. Give them your email and you get something like 60 minutes of free testing and then you have to subscribe, but it should help you at least get started.Try adding-webkit-text-size-adjust: none;
to the @media for mobile phones.Thanks for the replies guys. I will try out your suggestions and post an update.
@Caleb: I found a site which emulates mobile devices. Let me know what you think about it: http://www.mobilephoneemulator.com/@opeim juuust a quick suggestion, your header image is a little small width wise....users with a res width higher than 1024 (which is ALOT of people!) are going to see it looking a little weird...
Just a little nit picking, site looks nice other wise!Hey guys is it possible to get screen caps of what my site looks like on your mobile phones. Unfortunately I don't have a smart phone and can't test out the site. I've tried various mobile phone emulators and they show different results.
http://www.opelm.com/wptest/Here is some shots from Android 2.3.4
Hey Folks,
Take a look at my company's new responsive design website www.dronamobile.com, you would be able to push and pull the browser window to test the "responsiveness" of this website. When I reduce the width of the browser, everything just flows "under" the browser frame and is cut off, just like the web content. Do explore and share your feedback about it...
TeamDeltecsHi i did responsive web design for my office website but it showing me white space for right side and it working in when i re size browser . but it not working samsung note 2
@shivu Please start a new topic for your problem
It would also be helpful if you would provide a link.

I am guessing we will put the squares together in groups of four, like a pinwheel quilt look. I wonder if we will then put a border around each four square group and then sew the groups together?
I did some quick math on this and if we assemble the squares 4 wide by 6 long, we have 7" less in the width and 2" less in the length than the finished measurements. So....something to add to the width maybe? Like long panels between squares??? Or maybe the squares will be positioned as diamonds and we knit triangles between?

At 9:40 a.m. on December 14, America's attention was turned to Newtown, Connecticut, where 20 children and six adults were gunned down in an elementary school. The nation was grief-stricken. President Barack Obama arrived two days later operating as consoler-in-chief, and the dialogue immediately commenced on what steps should be taken to prevent another Newtown.
Shortly after 9 p.m. on December 27, Chicago police found the body of Nathaniel T. Jackson outside a convenience store, marking the 500th homicide of the year in the Windy City, most of them due to gun violence.
As far as I know, no pictures of Jackson were shown on national TV. Flowers and teddy bears didn't populate the scene. His death has largely been ignored by the national media, except for the basic acknowledgment that he represented the city's 500th homicide.
Think about this for a moment. Our world stopped in the wake of the Newtown massacre, and rightfully so. Those killed, including the gunman's mother, were innocent victims, gunned down by a madman. But in Chicago alone, residents have experienced the equivalent of 19 Newtowns this year. And we move about our daily lives as if Jackson's murder doesn't mean a thing.
It is because of this that I've been angered to watch TV, listen to radio and follow these senseless, emotional and one-dimensional debates about gun control in the United States.
Newtown and Aurora and Chicago didn't happen just because of guns. There were conditions that preceded these heinous acts that deserve our attention.
Instead, the tragedy has allowed the usual suspects to declaim from one side or the other. It's either pro-Second Amendment or restrict guns. Very little else has broken through to put this gun violence epidemic into the proper context.
Dr. Cornel West and Rush Limbaugh sounded stunningly similar notes by suggesting that because the victims of other gun violence didn't look like the Newtown victims, the national media essentially didn't care. I personally know West has tried to address the issue; nothing tells me Limbaugh really cares other than to score a point against "the liberal media."
That's a reasonable issue to confront and analyze, but it's not the only one.
Mental illness has been discussed, but it has been a distant second to the loud voices championing a ban on assault weapons, background checks or closing gun show loopholes. Very few media sources have done extensive reporting on mental illness budgets in their cities and states.

I breed pokemon in the game and am pretty good at IVs and EVs and such. I have thought of a few good tactics, such as
What are some of the best move combos that you have found so far? :D Explain your choices, and why they make good combos.
I haven't see this one, so I'll post it: 1. Use a Linnone with either silk scarf or life orb 2. Belly drum, this will max this Pokemon's attack 3. Extreme speed, this attack make any other Pokemon couldn't attack him with a very powerful strike 4. Repeat step 4 until either extreme speed have lost all its pp, life orb eat all his hp, or the enemy use ghost-type
Hope this help
I thought of a pretty good one for an atk/def ev trained snorlax: Try having: Rest Sleep Talk Hyper beam Any other overpowered move.....for hyper beam an your other op move, scope/zoom lens would be a pretty good thing to add just in case.
Only downside to this combo it that sleep talk has a chance to use rest again which would be useless.lol
Well I LOVE this set with a Pokemon with like Weavile or something Moveset is Swagger, Psych Up, Punishment, and a plain solid attacking move like Slash or Ice Punch. First, use Swagger, Then use either Swagger Again or use Psych up, Third use Psych Up if you used Swagger Last turn or go with Punishment makes it DEADLY on a Pokemon like Weavile lots of Pokemon can use it which makes it nice so yeah
Pokemon: Vanniluxe & Tauros Stats: Vanilluxe -SP Attack Nature Tauros +Attack Nature EV's: Vanniluxe None Tauros Attack and SP Def Type of Battle: Double Strategy: Have Vannilluxe use Frost Breath on Tauros, have Tauros know the ability Anger Point, then you have a Max attacking DEADLY Tauros along with the SP Def EV's Frost Breath shouldn't do that much. Hope ya like it! Toodles!!!
Use Soak on the Opponent's Poke'mon and use Grass/Electric Type Move, x2 Damage Instantly!
Hope I Helped Ya!
Genesect @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Download
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Speed
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
Genesect @ Life Orb
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
These sets are dominant, an amazing combo.
Manaphy with atleast rest as a move then some other good moves and then because of its ability Hydration you can use rest the hydration will wake you up!!
Alright so you need a gliscor Gliscor@flying gem Acrobatics The others don't matter
Absol@ life orb Use a standard set but replace a move for toxic
This is a doubles stradegy. Gliscor get poisoned by absol activating poison heal and it can still acro with flying gem and they are a pretty good core.
This is a pretty killer Psychic type combo that has proven extremely useful against any Pokemon besides ones that endure or are immune to psychic (which are very few compared to how many this combo can affect).
Future Sight (automatic psychic attack 2 turns later) Reflect (cuts damage from physical attacks) Psychic (STAB)
Future Sight automatically deals damage right after Psychic as a finishing move or double damage combo. You can also use Recover instead of Reflect if you find your opponent's attack uber strong. Just make sure your Pokemon can withstand more than one attack (OHKO) :)
Okay. I did not find this one.
Step 1 : Set up hazards (Spikes/ T-spikes/ S-Rock/ Leech Seed? etc) Step 2: Switch into ghost type.
Okay foe. Good bye.
For those who did not understand it, the main idea is to prevent the use of Rapid Spin, which removes all the hazards. This works because Rapid Spin is a Normal type move, so it will not hit the ghost Pokemon. Because that happens, any added effect (i.e. in this case, removal of the hazards) will also not occur.
P.S. Beware of ForeSight.
P.P.S. I know it'll not work all the time. Use a Pokemon like gengar to sweep, and have additional ghost types for back up.
Swellow with a toxic orb and facade also ursaring with the same stuff and some so basically Pokemon with guts that can learn facade also some Pokemon can do this do not know all of them but fake out and last resort.
I like using rest with Houndoom, with early bird it becomes hilarious. Houndoom keeps waking up after 1 turn, and gets full health. It would be best if Houndoom is bulky.
a snorlax that has very good defence and SP def can be used with this.
snorlax starts off using curse (snorlax no matter what will be out sped.) after using curse sevral times use rockslide! I myself have had this used on me and my FIGHTING types could do NOTHING. and when health gets low (this is optional) make it know rest and hold lum berry. and the last move should be ANYTHING you want! I dont know if this is possible but make it learn a move that can switch it out incase things get bad.
Magnet Rise (Ground Immunity) - Earthquake Reflect Type (If you have a certain type that can reduce the damage of "everyone get's hit" attacks - Any move that can hit all opponents in play depending on their position (e.g., Discharge, Earthquake, etc.)
Best combo EVER! durant @ focus sash ability: truant evs: 252 spd nature: jolly entrainment any moves you want
dugtrio @ focus sash ability: arena trap evs: 252 atk 252 spd 4 def nature: jolly earthquake stone edge hone claws protect
so the idea with this is you use entrainment with durant than if your opponent is faster stay in one more turn than switch if you were faster than switch right away. your opponent can't switch from arena trap. than alternate between hone claws and protect till maxed out he will be faster than most opponents so you can just sweep.
best for me Pokemon with surf and one with water absorb double battle deadly ;) also lava plume and a flash fire discharge lightningrod krokoodile swagger than foul play :D for baton passers haze is a way to waste their turns and walls explosion protect... rararaaa those ar some
Unfortunately, the best version of this takes up all 4 moves and the moveset can only be learned by Meowth, but it would be very beneficial for trainer battles. Also, you could just use 2 Pokemon (steps 1 and 2 for one Pokemon and steps three and four for the other, unless in double where you could use hypnosis and swagger on the same turn)
The first keeps the opponent from acting with high attack from swagger. The second sets up steps 3 and 4. Psyche up allows you to get the stat boosts from the opponent without getting confused. Punishment does immense damage to the opponent.
Ont he hit with punishment, you will have a base power of 240 + 6 levels of attack increase. Better yet, they the plus 6 attack will stay with you through the rest of the battle, which will allow you to pretty much KO any Pokemon you come up against.
Another combo for double battles:
You will need three Pokemon. A shedinja, a Spiritomb/Sableye, and a Pokemon with Skill Swap.
Start with the Shedinja and Skill Swap Pokemon. Use Skill Swap on Shedinja. Then, switch out Shedinja for Sableye/Spiritomb and use skill swap on them. The Sableye/Spiritomb is now invincible until someone uses a move that allows fighting moves to hit ghost types.
Note: A variation can be made where more Pokemon can be used if storm drain or lightning rod are in affect.
spiritomb and shedninja. spiritomb uses skill swap with shedninja and now you have a pretty invincible spiritomb but not completely because soak will ruin it, so watch out for water types. also, have zoroark out and toxicroak at last so zorouark will transform to toxicroak as illusion. if a psychic type is not out, use moves that toxicroak can learn until a psychic is out then, the first move it uses is psychic and it has no effect so you get a chance to use a dark type move (probably knocking it out) and if your opponent is stupid and doesn't realize its zoroark, (unless you use sucker punch or something) guess what you can take another psychic or ghost.
double battle, gliscor, and something else with follow me. the trick is, the follow me poke probably wants focus sash and gliscor 2. following the other Pokemon could mean gliscor gets time to hone claws and gullioitine. also, walrein with the item that increases accuracy if slower (i believe zoom lens) and the move set of rest, sleep talk, fissure, sheer cold. considering walrein's speed, it will be more likly the auto ko moves will be more likly to hit, and can gain hp do it over and over again.
