Native or Web-Based? Selecting the Right Approach for Your Mobile App
So you've decided to create a mobile application. Whether it is an extension of an existing digital offering (like a website) or a killer stand-alone app, there is a fundamental decision that needs to be made right away that will play a crucial role in the long-term success of the endeavor: whether it will be built as a "native" or "web-based" app.
A native app is one that is built for a specific platform, such as iPhone or Android, using their code libraries and accessing their available hardware features (camera, GPS, etc). A web-based app, on the other hand, is one that is hosted on the web and accessed from a browser on the mobile device. Let's explore the pros and cons of both approaches.
Native Apps
Native apps tend to be faster and more responsive. Because the code that runs the app is stored locally on the phone, there is no time spent waiting for static content (such as images and text) to be downloaded from the web. While dynamic content may still need to be accessed from the web, it's an improvement over the web-based model in which everything needs to be downloaded each time.
Local Storage
Native apps can run asynchronously, meaning dynamic information can be stored locally on the phone temporarily and synced with the central web-based server later. While new technologies and features (such as those in HTML5) will allow for this to also be done in a web-based environment, native apps are still ahead of web-based ones on this front.
Killer Features
Going with the native app approach gives you access to that platform's hardware features allowing interesting functionalities such as taking photos, accessing GPS information, making phone calls, leveraging near field communication (NFC), etc. Because web-based apps are platform agnostic, they do not have access to the device's hardware features.
App Store
While the App Store has gotten a lot of bad press since its debut, it can also be viewed as an asset. It represents free shelf space for new products and can be a great way to advertise to and gain new users, especially if an app offers unique features. When releasing a web-based app outside of the App Store, you would be entirely responsible for its marketing and distribution and would not have this same edge.
The biggest drawback to developing a native app vs. a web-based one is that a separate code base must be created and maintained for each individual platform. For example, if you decided to initially build an iPhone app, you would have to design, code, and deploy an iOS app to the App Store. If you then decide down the road that you also want an Android version, you will have to redesign the app for the Android device, code and deploy it to the Android app store—likewise for other platforms.
A well-orchestrated user experience is the best defense in the rapidly evolving world of mobile
While there can be savings in porting an app from one platform to another (versus building it up from scratch) the value may be less than you would think. From a design perspective, the task of changing the look and feel from one platform (say iPhone) to another (say, Android) is often straightforward. From a development perspective however, the code bases are two entirely different languages and will have to be completely rewritten simply to mimic the original app's functionality.
Web-Based Apps
Single Solution
The biggest upside to a web-based approach is, of course, the biggest downside to a native one. When developing a web-based app you are centralizing your offering. Users of any mobile device (iPhone, Android; even Blackberry, Palm, and future devices that don't exist yet) will be able to access the app and use it immediately. There is no waiting for the [insert mobile device here] version of the app to be released and you need only have one person/team maintaining a single code base. Single-source means that there is a single version of the code base that all users across all platforms access and use.
Real-Time Updates
In addition to this, updates to your app can happen in real-time "automagically." There is no waiting for the App Store gods to review and approve your change, and you don't have to bank on your user base going through the process of updating the software themselves.
Another big upside to the web-based approach is that you are not tied to the rules set forth by the terms and conditions of competing app stores. You are free to offer content and advertising as you see fit.
Catching Up
It's also worth mentioning here that, from a technical perspective, things are moving forward very quickly on the mobile web. For an experienced web developer, many (but not all) of the limitations of the web can be compensated for or overcome entirely.
The biggest downside to the mobile web is the lack of (or limited) access to the hardware features of mobile device, such as GPS, camera, NFC, etc. For those developing an app that must have access to any of these hardware features, this limitation often forces the decision to go native.
Additionally, while the constraints and requirements of a developing for a platform may be seen as stifling or constrictive, they also serve to force consistency and inherently solve for many subtle details with very little work. When developing a mobile web solution, a person is responsible for everything concerning that app and cannot rely on the platform or app store for support.
Moving Forward
Given the incredible rate that technology is advancing, the following considerations should also be taken into account when creating an app.
- Cell connectivity will continue to improve both in coverage and speed. The next generation of cell phone technologies will have a positive effect on the performance of apps that require access to web-based information. This has the potential to narrow the gap between native and web-based apps in terms of speed and responsiveness.
- Web technologies will continue to improve meaning the edge that platforms such as iOS and Android currently have will disappear over time. While Apple and Google surely have more tricks up their sleeves, web technologies such as HTML5 will become serious contenders to native offerings.
- As the app market continues to grow for both mobile devices and tablets alike, it will become more fragmented and considerable market share may not just be limited to one or two platforms. Additionally, new mediums such as interactive television are already coming up on the horizon. Considering the guarantee that there will be more mediums and more platforms as technology continues its march forward, the need for centralized product offerings will become more necessary for those who cannot afford to develop applications for multiple platforms.
In Conclusion
Both approaches certainly have their share of benefits as well as drawbacks. Which approach is "better" for developing a particular application will depend largely on its desired functionality and reach as well as available resources (time, money, etc.). A long-term strategy would seem to favor web-based over native apps, but keep in mind that no matter which approach is taken, a well-orchestrated user experience is the best defense in the rapidly evolving world of mobile platforms and devices.

We've discovered mobile apps are not really suitable for handling serious business data. That's why we've develeped our own oidCRm. I say "oid" because it's actually not CRM, but has proved indispensible for small business owners in handling day-to-day data: tasks, calendar, contacts, bulk mailing, address labels, newsletters, etc. It even has web forms. And It's all free. http://www.josytal.com/web-based
It's an opnion.

Hey Michael a very insightful write up. This is a common question asked by many people looking to get an app developed, Selecting between the two completely depends upon the fuctionality needed, kind of budget, technical capabilities and many more. Like if you want a shopping app to be developed then web based platform is preferred, because it will need internet connection for making payments and all. If the app needs device specific feature like camera, compass or accelerometer then Native is preferable. So, both have their respective advantages and disadvantages.
We have also tried answering similar kind of queries in our Mobile App Development consulting series:
Great article Michael. It's a difficult choice for many companies to make and many neglect to even think about the different ways of doing it. Researching options for both the platform and users is crucial.
You missed mentioning hybrid apps. I just wrote a desktop web app using AngularJS, and quickly ported it to my Android phone using PhoneGap, only needing minor modifications to the styling. All of the images and functionality of the app are located on the phone upon installation.
Yup, Good article. Although you can usually access GPS data with a web app. Not as reliably but you can all the same.

Yea she looks a little plump...I'd say lots of layers of clothing but don't think that's a good excuse considering the heat...
ReplyDelete Uh Rich, I'm pretty sure any woman would be happy with a 2,600 dollar LV bag (and if she's not she can give it to me):).
I think it's just her posture and choice of clothing. She has been looking great in the past week or so. Damn I love her skin.
P.S. We are all addicted to our crackberries even Obama, that's why they're called crackberries. And how do we know that she's not doing it to ease nerves or is taking notes about the match or is looking at pictures of Yoann Gourcuff naked? (oh wait that's me)lolShe's not a model, she doesn't have to be skinny, so basicly she looks as a normal girl, and is quite good looking besides her few extra pounds.
I love Mirka, she seems stabile, and quite down to Earth.She's no poser, and she's probably great support to Fed.And this blackberry habit, there is numerous times a match they show her and she's not typing, yet just folowing the match, so it's just a moment captured in a picture, as I noticed when match finishes she then have her blackberry.
Probably she got a message from her friends congratulating, watching the match somewhere else,and she checks it.Nothing special.- AnonymousJanuary 29, 2009 at 11:43 AM
*spits out coffee*
2600 DOLLARS for a purse!!!

*Texts Mirka and tells her that Roger has moved on and she should too*

It's a bad picture. That's all.
And can we please stop calling everyone who isn't a size 0 fat? It's getting to be beyond sad at this point. sara: Yoann Gourcuff is so freaking beautiful. Ever since you brought him to my attention I've been flabbergasted. Wait - what was this post about??? Oh yeah, crack is whack sara.
tessa: I do think she's text mad. Her thumbs must be permanently bent by now.
*imagines visual* ewwwww.
anon 2:43 : LOL - I hope you're okay with dating your crackberry and new handbags because your new man doesn't have the time. I mean there's already three people in the RoKa relationship - Fed, Fed, and Mirka.
anon 3:27 - agreed, we needs support normal girls like me, eh, Mirka.- AnonymousJanuary 29, 2009 at 2:32 PM
sara and rich have either of you seen the video of him runnning around in slo-mo in nothing but his underwear?

I think I'm spamming so feel free to gaze at his beauty and then delete my comment. Sorry about the wait. http://www.kickette.com/index.php?/site/comments/yoann_gourcuff_has_no_naked_shame/

Does Mirka actually have a life outside of Roger? anyone?
ReplyDelete - AnonymousJanuary 29, 2009 at 3:39 PM
Hey rich I'm glad you like the vid as much as I do. No, it's not my blog I found it trying to satisfy my lust for soccer players. sara: when you say "yoann gourcuff themed muffin basket" you mean yoann gourcuff completely naked delivering a muffin basket to my house, right?
ReplyDelete - AnonymousJanuary 29, 2009 at 3:56 PM
Oh, I'm so glad to have found fellow tennis/yoann gourcuff lovers. In case you didn't know, the video of yoann is also on youtube along with others.

I like this deal better:
Doc Rivers tells the Celtics that he would like to bypass his final year of the contract and coach the Clippers. KG and Pierce tell Danny Ainge that they plan on retiring if they don't get traded to Clippers. Danny Ainge calls Clippers and gets DeAndre Jordan, Eric Bledsoe, and Caron Butler (expiring contract) for KG and Pierce. Additionally, we go after OJ Mayo, Nikola Pekovic and Jarrett Jack in free agency. Here's what we've got going forward for next season:
PG: CP3, Jarrett Jack
SG: OJ Mayo, Jamal Crawford, Billups
SF: Paul Pierce, Matt Barnes, Grant Hill
PF: Blake Griffin, Ronny Turiaf
C: Kevin Garnett, Nikola Pekovic, Ryan Hollins
This is a championship contender.
I find this interesting to be quite honest. I wouldn't put it past Chris Paul to demand that they go after Dwight Howard. D12 was very complimentary of the Clippers this season. He mention on few occasions how he liked the camaraderie and the chemistry. There is also the prospect of him and CP3 MAKING history rather than just being part of history (playing for the Lakers). As controversial as it is, the only way I get rid of Blake is if Dwight joins the team. The best part about all this is Doc Rivers being the new coach.You can also replace Pierce for some other pieces since he can be bought out and still be able to sign him as a free agent.
Here's what I would propose:
Griffin,DJ,Bled,Butler for KG, Courtney Lee and Avery Bradley. Boston would then amnesty Butler.
The Clippers would go out and sign Dwight Howard. Re-sign Barnes.
The lineup could look something like this
Starters: Paul, Lee, Pierce, Garnett, Howard
Bench: Crawford,Barnes, Bradley
Worst case scenario : 1st round bounce
Best case scenario: win the West and continue to build around CP3 and Dwight Howard
^ Eeeew! That trade stinks!
Really? How so, aside from losing Blake?
Perennial DPOY/ leading Rebounder in Howard
Shooter in Lee. Perimeter Defender in Bradley. 1 year of KG&Pierce AND Rivers on the side line doesn't sound too bad. In fact, it sounds more consistent that a lineup including Blake. Don't get me wrong I wouldn't want to see Blake leave but if the organization is bent on keeping CP3, Howard doesn't sound too far fetched. Obviously there's something that interests both clubs since rumors have been brewing since the deadline. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
The trade itself is stinky but ultimately to land Howard.
It's offensive that the media would continue to talk about this trade as if it is a legit option...I feel like it is just because we are the clippers, they feel we would do something so dumb. What a joke
We lose literally ALL our youth for a promising wing and a 1-year rental of two old geezers. You're also assuming that Dwight would take a $30,000,000 pay cut to play with another bunch of washed-up HOF'ers, that Boston could amnesty Butler, which they couldn't, that they're prepared to let their championship coach go and that he wants to move to L.A. Doc is not even sure he wants to coach ANYWHERE anymore. Putting coaches into a player trade is a new level of idiocy... notice there's only one source for the rumor, and everyone else it calling it absurd.
Our F.O. wouldn't even entertain Bled and Jordan for Garnett because it was mortgaging the future... there is no way on earth that they give up Blake to rent ANYONE.
We are not getting Dwight Howard. People need to put that idea to bed.
Getting Howard = to getting Jackson to be our next coach. Not happening. Ever.
One thing I can tell EVERYONE here for sure - Blake Griffin is not going anywhere in the near future. I doubt we trade him for anything other than LeBron or Durant as he is a ticket-seller and a face of the franchise. This is a marketing gem that our lovely owner won't let go for a bunch of old age pensioners!
Not enough salary to make a KG/Pierce trade work
Feel free on explaining why Pekovic would be a backup?
wish we had the $$$ to do something like this. Pekovic and Mayo are going to get paid more than we can offer and Jack will probably be getting $6mm plus
This is not realistic. Salaries alone don't match. Clippers will be over the salary cap on four players... Blake $17, CP3 $18, Pierce $15, and KG $11 that's a total of $61
They want BLAKE GRIFFIN not Jordan for all the other stuff. Yeah...
Blake Griffin is not going anywhere...
Dream on Boston! Blake Griffin is not going anywhere. There'll be a statue of him in front of Staples Center before he goes.
I wonder why Boston was initially interested in Bledsoe in the first place, they already have Bradley who's pretty similar
I like the sound of that...
Have a statue of Blake Griffin flying in the air for the dunk... With a Kia Optima parked underneath. Blake Show!
That's statue will be in front of Kobe. haha.
Because Boston is getting way too old, similar to the Lakers, so Boston know's that Pierce and Garnett are basically out the door. Why not get something rather than nothing.
Actually Kobe will be inside the car!
I can't believe I'm still seeing this rumor floating around the web even today.
Trading blake with his upside ( along of him being a gym rat, only in his third full year) for two guys almost at an end is downright stupid.
I dont understand why people are still bringing this up. it makes no sense.
we need to thnk smart. mabe dj and ebled for afflalo and vicevic??
Try to get pekovic?? Gortat?? (AFTER trading DJ)
A way to get iggy, money wise not possible.
Maybe a jose calderon?? after trading ebled(if cp stays, or if cp leaves)
Find a way to STEAl batum(impossible), george(not happening), chandler (denver ???)
A shooter Redick, korver.
A stopper TONY ALLEN
I'd love this trade minus Griffin
At least we have a joke thread right here.
Rumor flying around that Pierce is out in Boston. Lets dump Caron and Lamar, sign Pierce, trade DJ and Bled to Orlando for Vucevic and AA. We can start Paul, Aflalo, Pierce, Vucevic and Blake, Vucevic is PERFECT for us Rebounds and can shoot.
How much would Pierce's contract be if he opt out next year? I'm thinking around $8 mil if he wants to win a chip again.
Pierce will probably be had for MLE considering his age and decline. I would sign him, if the Celtics are willing to give up KG for DJ + our 1st, I believe KG will be more open to waive his trade clause to us. We are mortgaging the future for a chance to win now.

Arsenic toxicity is exposure to toxic amounts of arsenic. Arsenic is a naturally occurring element in the earth's crust. It has no smell or taste. If you suspect you have been exposed to arsenic, contact your doctor right away.
There are two primary forms of arsenic:
Inorganic arsenic is much more harmful than organic arsenic.
Arsenic occurs naturally in soil and minerals, and may enter the air, water, and soil. It is also used:
Arsenic toxicity may occur when a person is exposed to toxic amounts of arsenic due to:
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Anyone can develop arsenic toxicity as a result of arsenic exposure. But certain people are more likely to be exposed to arsenic. The following factors increase your chances of being exposed to arsenic:
In addition, children may be more susceptible than adults to the health effects of arsenic. There is some evidence that arsenic exposure may harm pregnant women and their unborn babies.
Ingesting high levels of arsenic can result in death. Arsenic has also been linked to increased risks of cancer of the lung, skin, bladder, liver, kidney, and prostate.
Symptoms of acute arsenic exposure generally occur within 30-60 minutes after ingestion. These may include:
Symptoms of chronic arsenic exposure include:
In addition, people exposed to arsenic may be at a greater risk of developing heart disease.
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. It can be difficult to make a diagnosis of arsenic poisoning because symptoms are so varied. If you have concerns about arsenic causing symptoms in yourself or a family member, talk to your doctor.
Your bodily fluids and tissues may be tested. This can be done with:
There is no effective treatment for arsenic toxicity. There is increasing evidence that chelation therapy may benefit some people who were poisoned with arsenic. Chelation therapy involves putting a chemical called a chelating agent into the bloodstream. The chelating agent combines with a toxin to help remove it from the body. Chelating agents may be given by pill or by injection.
If chelation is not indicated or is ineffective, your treatment will be designed to help manage and control your symptoms. Treatment may include IV hydration, for example.
To help reduce your chances of getting arsenic toxicity, take the following steps:

Phoronix: Mesa 9.2 Release Candidate 1 Now Surfaces
With hopes of releasing Mesa 9.2 in the coming days, Ian Romanick of Intel put out the first release candidate of this next major Mesa graphics library update. The release candidates should have begun weeks ago, but after forgetting about them, they only just began with the final release expected this week...

Can we finally have OpenGL 3.2 and 3.3 support?
finaly ^^
ok the bigger thing would be to have a build of xbmc 13 (devel) for fedora ^^.
That would help me even more but it will happen eventually ^^.
but at least now I can watch videos on my laptop without 1000% cpu usage.
I'm getting horrible results with 9.2.0rc1-1 in arch.
Perhaps someone could be of assistance.
After mesa 9.2.0rc1 made its way into [testing], I gave it a go by updating all needed packages for both x64 and x86 (via multilib, for wine).
First attempt worked like a charm - played a video for a few seconds in mpv using UVD (hwdec=vdpau, vo=vdpau) without any problem.
Since then, everything went downhill - mpv can't play anymore, it will just lock (and take the whole system with it) once it's done with the initialization phase (filter selection etc.).
Moreover, wine will also cause the same behavior when the video card is put under a bit of stress (gaming) - lock within a minute or so of launch.
Is there any way of "resetting" mesa, to rule out any 9.1.x-9.2 configuration errors?
On a side note, 9.1.6 worked just fine (no UVD, obviously) with Wine.
Thanks, Adam.
I have a Mobility Radeon 4570HD.

WOW flying fiddler, you really are flying!
Thank you for sharing your beautiful journey through the steps. It made me cry tears of joy to know you have experienced the life-altering power of them. There is hardly a way to speak about it, but you did a pretty good job!
Keep on trudging - there's more awesomeness to come!
The reality we live in sobriety, using the steps and the principles, beats anything drinking ever had to offer. But I need to DO it to experience it.
Move over reality TV!
We are the grateful recipients of a "complete makeover".
We are the "biggest losers" because we've lost the mental obsession and physical compulsion to drink.
And we've married a millionaire because we've committed our will and lives over to the care of One Who has ALL riches!
I'm so happy for you and for all us sober alcoholics that I think I'll go outside and skip down the street, smiling all the way.

New LBSThe Cyclery now open in Fyshwick, in Pirie St, oppposite The Canberra Times. Full of nice Specialized bike including a couple of Venges (complete bike and just a frame) and a few Tarmacs (inc an Ult Di2 version I was lusting after! ) and a good range of MTBs as well. There's a coffee shop next door that is sort of part of the bike shop but I think owned and run by someone else. Open 7 days a week. It's a branch of the Lonsdale St Cyclery of Braddon which is still operating.
Re: New LBSSuffering a bit of bike lust Ross?
Re: New LBSBranch off from Lonsdales hey.......does that mean their prices for everything are at least $10 more then every other shop as well?

Re: New LBSOne opens, another closes - Mal Adjusted in DIckson closed on the weekend.
Re: New LBSSmiths Cyles in Fyshwick are closing as well on Sunday 18th November.
There has recently been another shop open in Braddon, Callahan Cycles. Located in the old Discount Tyres building, opposite Bike Shed. I think he's only open part time at the moment and concentrating mainly on repairs and maintenance rather than selling bikes and parts.
Re: New LBSSmiths took on the Merida dealership when OnyaBike dropped them and became On the rivet. Then the Merida ((distributer went and opened a store in fyshwick and undercut them.

Re: New LBSsad to hear Smiths have closed down, friendly, knowledgeable and not pushy(pardon the pun)
Re: New LBSSounds like they might be back in new premises later; their current location was small and off the way. It looks like Newcastle St is becoming quite a bike store centre. The new Cycle City store on Newcastle St is a good use of space - very pleasant.
Re: New LBSI hope.smith.cycles isn't closing. They have been in my experience one of.the.better shops.in Canberra.

Re: New LBS
Merida opened in Fyshwick? I hope the new shop doesn't take away from Cycle City. Garth has worked hard to get that new business going and deserves to keep his business. In other news, and probably sadder than Smiths in terms of length of service, Maladjusted has closed. Mal gave up the good fight. He stood tall for a long, long time. Hope his next venture brings more long term success with less work for him.
Re: New LBSThink the OP got confused between Merida & Cycle City. As far as i know Cycle City is the only Merida dealer in Fyshwick.

Re: New LBSAccording to Smith's facebook page their lease is up, and Paul & Kim are taking some time off to get married early next year. I believe the plan is to re-open again once they've had some time to enjoy wedded bliss.

Re: New LBS
This was suggested in another forum but was shouted down by someone suggesting there was no "giving up", just time for something new. Either way, Mal was (is...?) my favourite mechanic and wheelbuilder in Canberra. Sad that he shut his doors. On another note, an honourable mention for Steve Callahan from Callahan Cycles in Braddon - a thoroughly decent guy, a vintage bike lover, a strong pedaller and apparently the Canberra Wiggle rep.

Unit 9, 27 Lonsdale Street. http://www.facebook.com/StevensSpeedSho ... anBicycles
Re: New LBSdo you all have a LBS that you use exclusively? or do you shop around?
I got my first bike from pushys a couple of weeks ago. after the comple apathy I was shown by 2 of the lonsdale street shops, and after another Fyshwick store who just couldn't understand my needs (and tried to sell a 125kg guy getting his first bike a flat bar road bike way over my budget), the guy at Pushys went above and beyond. and I was a pain in the arse, I test rode 9 different bikes. he couldnt have done anything more to help me find the right bike, and even encourage me not to spend as much as i was thinking i should on a new bike. after riding 9 bike, I re-rode 3 of them that he'd already put away. I took 90 minutes of his time... and then only spent $600 all up. the bike was 10 bucks cheaper than elsewhere, and even at that price point they didn't make me pay for all the other stuff I had to buy. so it surprised me when I researched their reputation after the fact and found sections of the Internet almost mocking them. I deliberately didn't mention the names of the crap stores - its not fair to tarnish them from one experience. but if there are any that you know are rubbish from more extensive experience, I'm not opposed to that. but more than that, I'm keen to know whether to just keep going back to pushys or if perhaps their great customer service is actually masking a lack of knowledge. I hope pushys are good - I liked the salesman so much I thought that if I ever wanted to do a bunch ride, it's seems a friendly place to do it with.
Re: New LBS+1 for Callahan Bicycles. Not a huge range of stock but great for repairs/maintenance and a fantastic atmosphere to boot. Genuinely nice guy with time for the customers without making you feel stupid.
Also +1 for complete apathy from other Lonsdale street shops, as well as stupidly inflated prices.
Re: New LBS
+1 for Pushy's Fyshwick. I bought a bike for the kid there recently - we got multiple test rides in the back parking lot, the staff were good and knew what they are talking about, very helpful. Canberra has a pretty good range of good bike stores, and I find almost all of them are well worth a visit. Makes shopping around fun.
Re: New LBSWent to Smith's yesterday only to find it closed. I went to a lot of bike stores when trying to buy a bike and it was hands down the best (although didn't stock the bike I ended up buying. Old man later bought his bike from there.
I hope they set up somewhere else in '13
Re: New LBS
When I was living in Hobart I only used one shop (Bike Ride), the service was beyond excellent. Anyway now in the ACT I have done a little bit of shopping around to try and find a similar standard to the guys from Hobart. Being a cannondale fan boy I first went to the only cannondale rep in ACT. Didn't think much of my experience there so they are off the list. Went to pushys and was blown away at the amount of stock there (you can fit all of Hobart's bikes stores in pushys), I have also had fantastic service from the other bike shops in the fyshwick area. The best bike shop so far IMO is Smith's at fsywick however I drove past the other day and they are closed, I have heard that they are relocating in the new year but not confirmed where or when yet. There are also 3 local shops near where I live (on the rivett, TLC and Bike Shed), have dealt with them all and happy with all of them. Tho one I had service my bike I did take back the next day as I wasn't satisfied with what they had done, they were really apologetic and sorted it out straight away. Have also had a look at two in belconnon, the one on the lake, ride 365, are good they also have a little cafe set up which is nice. On ya bike in Belco I have had mixed experiences, some of the staff are really friendly and provide good service, there is one guy there who makes it feel like you are putting him out when serving you and is always quite gruff.
Re: New LBSI also recently got my bike from Pushyss.
I really liked the guy there the first time I went. The guy i spoke to the second time didnt know as much butwas still very friendly and very keen to help. I cant answer the question as to whether I'll just stick with one shop, but I get 3 months servicing there and dont see a reason to go anywhere else. With all that said - I dont want to enter the online vs LBS debate, but the more I look online, the more I realise why some people can't justify supporting the LBS
Re: New LBSPushys have an online store (as well as selling things on eBay) and their prices are cheaper than the bricks and mortar shop.
Re: New LBS
True, however be careful not the get the physical and online store mixed up. Online store is based out of Brisbane I believe and online purchases have to be posted so no pickup. Current Ride: Trek Madone 6.5 (2013)

DLIFLC welcomes new Inspector General
MONTEREY, Calif. - In August, the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center welcomed Lt. Col. Christopher J. Watrud as the new DLIFLC Command Inspector General.
Over the course of his military career, Watrud has been a platoon leader, brigade-level staff officer, DLIFLC chief of staff, and even an advisor to an Iraqi 3-star commander in Baghdad.
The DLIFLC Commandant, Col. Danial D. Pick, administered the oath of office to Lt. Col. Watrud Tuesday, 14 August, in the commandant's office at the Presidio of Monterey, Calif.
"The command is very fortunate to have Lt. Col. Watrud as our Command Inspector General, as his role grows even more important as DLIFLC enters an era of change and transition," Pick said.
Administering the oath has been an Army requirement since 1981, and the oath is meant to "strengthen the bond between the commander and the IG," according to DLIFLC IG Specialist Adolph George.
The brief ceremony invokes the partnership between the commander and the Inspector General, and that special trust and responsibility is further documented with a certificate. For Watrud, signatories to the certificate besides himself and Pick are Secretary of the Army John M. McHugh and Army Inspector General Lt. Gen. Peter Vangjel.
"The IG is a personal staff officer providing the commander a sounding board for sensitive issues. IGs are honest brokers, confidential advisors and consummate fact finders," George said.
The modern Army IG is considered to be an extension of the eyes, ears, voice, and conscience of the commander. Their four primary functions are assistance, investigations and inquiries, inspections, and teaching and training.
The roles of the Inspector General include assistance in formal fact-finding in response to allegations of violations, teaching and training in Army systems, processes, and procedures, and inspections focused on root causes for noncompliance that are tailored to meet the commander's needs.
"I look forward to working with leaders here at all levels, helping them to understand the standards, reduce friction, and focus on their primary mission." said Watrud.

No tossing, no flipping around wildly....You should now have a cornice all the way around. Protect the cornice.... Roberto put his hands on mine to show me the pressure, and it's not much more than the weight of your hands. The rocking motion does much of the work.
I get it, but I did not a ball of dough had a "top," unless the top is simply the opposite side of what was rising...!
There may be many ways to skin a cat, but some leave holes in the hide.
Yes , this is a most excellent & detailed description -- thanks for taking the time to include. Giuliani did exactly what Roberto did--- took my hands & explained..He was also adamant about the cornice, like you describe. I think with my learning style , I can read a great tutorial like this, but it really clicks for me when I can feel it..
Excuse the picky sounding question. "cornice" is the edge?
Thanks for pointing out my error.....I meant "cornichone", and yes, that is just a high falutin' term for "edge".

Mykita Mylon Pantara Eyeglasses. Mykita venture into 2013 with a foray of frames via their first optical collection using the mylon material. Taking inspirations from athletics motifs and stripped-back futuristic design cues, the collections exhibits an array of colorful frames for both practical and trend-driven purposes. While some models nod at classic construction mixed with modern refinement, others reinterpret the popular '30s round- and panto-shaped in contemporary color ways. Lightweight, flexible and technical. Created for use in sports, all models of the collection are both sportswear and accessories at the same time.
A british racing green mylon frame with skull like temples, a key hole bridge and featuring a newly developed remarkably elegant and intelligent resilient screw-less hinge system made of 0.8 mm flat sheet metal using a new technique - metal injection molding. Putting your glasses on is now extremely comfortable and easy due to the practical flex-hinge effect. This frame is sporty and futuristic look in combination with the mylon material.

Polycarbonate lenses are thinner and lighter than standard lenses. Polycarbonate lenses are made from a similar material to that of bulletproof glass, these lenses are 10 times more impact resistant than standard plastic lenses however this material is relatively soft, subsequently polycarbonate lenses need a scratch-resistant coating to prevent surface scratches. These lenses are for low-to-moderate prescriptions of 0.00 to +/- 3.00. If your prescription is higher than this, we suggest HI INDEX material.
High Index 1.67 are recommended for prescriptions ranging from +/- 3.00 to +/- 6.00 to keep the lenses the thinnest possible. High-index 1.67 lenses are an alternative choice to standard, plastic lenses reducing the thickness and weight of an eyeglass lens up to 40%, particularly for individuals with a strong prescription. This lens comes with UV400 treatment and scratch resistance as standard.
High-Index 1.74 is the thinnest lens possible today. High-index 1.74 lenses are an alternative choice to standard, plastic lenses reducing the thickness and weight of an eyeglass lens up to 50%, particularly for individuals with a strong prescription. These lenses are recommended for prescription that range from +/- 6.00 and higher. This lens comes with UV400 treatment and scratch resistance as standard.
Transitions or sometimes called Photochromic lenses are lenses that darken into sunglasses on exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Once the UV is removed (for example by walking indoors), the lenses will gradually return to their clear state. These features make Transition or photochromic lenses a great convenience, by reducing your need to wear prescription sunglasses in most outdoor conditions.
Polarized sunglasses are specialized lenses designed to reduce glare and increase contrast sensitivity. Glare distorts the true color of objects and makes them harder to distinguish. Unlike traditional sunglasses, polarized sunglasses selectively block out glare instead of dimming the entire field of vision. Polarized sunglasses are popular with sports enthusiasts, including skiers, golfers, bikers and joggers, fisherman, as well as the general public.
There is a huge variety of colors shades and intensity that prescription glasses can be fashion tinted in. Fashion tints provide variety and create special looks for both men and women by accenting, complementing or bringing out their eye color.
Crizal Avance is a premium Anti-Reflective coating applied to the surface of lenses to reduce reflection. Anti-reflection lenses decrease reflection making eyewear look better, less glare is particularly noticeable when driving at night or working in front of a computer monitor. The decreased glare means wearers often find their eyes are less tired, particularly at the end of the day. Allowing more light to pass through the lens also increases contrast and therefore increases visual acuity.

At 6-feet-7-inches tall, Jordan moves like a safety. He has fluid hips in coverage and excellent explosion off the line of scrimmage. Oregon frequently called upon Jordan to cover tight ends and slot wide receivers one on one. Jordan's quickness and straight line speed will allow him to matchup with the athletic tight ends NFL teams are utilizing. As a pass rusher, Jordan has plenty of room to grow, but few players in this class rush the edge like he does. Jordan gets incredible bend around the edge, showing the flexibility to maintain his speed and get after the quarterback. Jordan also has tremendous length for a pass rusher, which he combines with an explosive first step off the line off scrimmage to consistently beat tackles. Jordan also has great closing speed both when getting after the quarterback and chasing down ball carriers in the open field. The biggest pros to Jordan's game are his upside and his versatility. This is just Jordan's third season playing defensive end after coming to Oregon as a tight end. He can stand up and play in space as a rush linebacker, but he also has the frame to add some weight and become a dominant 4-3 end. The possibilities are plenty if a creative defensive coordinator gets his hands on Jordan. Cons: While Jordan is an explosive athlete, he needs to become a more physical player to reach his full potential. He often gets completely washed out in the running games. On occasion, Jordan has allowed himself to be blocked by wide receivers far too easily. As a tackler, Jordan has a ways to go. He can lay the wood on ball carriers, but too often takes sloppy angles or fails to wrap up. A disappointing number of tackles slipped through his arms this season. As a pass rusher, Jordan needs to be stronger. His speed moves are on an elite level, but he needs to be able to out muscle opposing linemen to get to the quarterback. I would love to see Jordan develop a wider array of pass rush moves if he plans on playing down in a 4-3 consistently. While he was constantly trying different moves, Jordan needs to continue to develop his pass rush moves at the next level. His hand use is also inconsistent, as he lets guys into his chest too often. Conclusion: Jordan is such a rare prospect. He has so much ability, and the only challenge for his NFL team will be finding a way to utilize all of it on the field. Jordan's upside is that of a difference making franchise player on defense. He has the athletic upside to warrant a top ten selection. Comparison: Aldon Smith, San Francisco 49ers - Jordan isn't quite as physical or refined a prospect as Smith was coming out, but the combination of size and athleticism along with the versatility makes this a decent comparison.

Posted by Suntiger on 2/6 at 10:12 am to blueslover I think Mingo and Jordan will put up big numbers at the combine and I'm not sure either will fall to us. I'd like to get one of them though.Reply Back to Top |
Posted by Midget Death Squad on 2/6 at 10:18 am to blueslover So basically he is a coverage LB with adequate pass rushing skills, poor run defending skills and a terrible tackler. Is this really what we want? Correct me if I read this wrong. If I didn't, then I say pass pass pas on this guy.Reply Back to Top |

Posted by blueslover on 2/6 at 11:02 am to Midget Death Squad quote: no, he is one of the elite pass rushers this year. from that report- few players in this class rush the edge like he does.

Jordan also has great closing speed both when getting after the quarterback and chasing down ball carriers in the open field. quotes from some of the past scouting reports in the link- Classic hybrid pass rusher with a tantalizing blend of physical tools and intangibles who hasn't yet maximized considerable potential. At rush linebacker, they don't get any better than Jordan in terms of size and athleticism. He lacks the functional strength needed to be a top pick but teams may overlook that with his blend of height and athleticism. Jordan's speed off the edge is rare and I'm not sure that there is anyone in this draft that brings what he does in terms of speed and athleticism off the edge. Jordan has outstanding athleticism and long limbs that he uses well. He is not a natural pass rusher just yet, but he has the foot quickness, flexibility to bend his knees, and a burst to get to the quarterback once he gets around the offensive tackle's block. He is still a bit raw with his pass rush moves and needs to upgrade in that area and not rely on just the speed rush all of the time. What coaches and general managers want at the top of round one is upside, versatility, and the ability to contribute early on. Dion Jordan has all three. A freakish athlete with his ability to play low despite his height. Technically sound with good arm/hand use. Very fast, very fluid in space. Jordan spent a lot of time rushing the edge, out wide in coverage against wide receivers, and filling lanes against the run. He has the frame for more weight, and he will fit in to any scheme If any don't know yet he was recruited as a TE and didn't switch to defense until 2010. That shows tremendous athletic ability to me. Could be a tantalizing occasional offensive player for jump balls... 6'7" Jimmy Graham on one side, 6'6" Jordan on the other Image: http://cbssports.com/images/blogs/eof-sf4.jpg Image: http://dailyemerald.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/111112.aam_.fbc_.stanford_0549.jpg This post was edited on 2/6 at 11:15 am Reply Back to Top |
Posted by Midget Death Squad on 2/6 at 11:58 am to blueslover Ok, that sounds a bit more promising. I misread the "As a pass rusher, Jordan has plenty of room to grow, but few players in this class rush the edge like he does" statement as saying he is ok and that there's not much of a pass rushing class this year. I still am concerned with the lack of tackling and run support, but a pure pass rushing OLB in a 3-4 can be these things. His coverage skills will make him very valuable in the zone blitz scheme, if that is the scheme we wind up using Reply Back to Top |
Posted by blueslover on 2/6 at 12:08 pm to Midget Death Squad I posted somewhere else that besides his pass rushing ability the coverage thing might be key. NFL teams are scurrying to find a way to match up with the athletic big TEs like Graham & Gronk. At 6'6" Jordan might be the prototypical answer to these matchups Nice wingspan Image: http://image.cdnllnwnl.xosnetwork.com/pics21/640/PQ/PQDPTCJZGENSZOA.20091207184116.JPG Image: http://autzenzoo.com/files/2012/02/5774522.jpg Unfortunately I think we'll only see his stock rise at the Combine. He could end up going before Jarvis Jones or Mingo. Reply Back to Top |

Posted by blueslover on 2/16 at 12:44 pm to adono video on nfln yesterday impressive looking next to McGinnest nfl.com profile STRENGTHS Tall end/linebacker hybrid with excellent length. Definitely not contact-shy, extends his long arms to land a strong punch on blockers, can disengage to chase plays from behind or grab ballcarriers coming into his area. Also willing to mix it up when challenged. Long strides allow him to cover ground quickly when closing or after his strong get-off with his hand down, but also shows enough bend and short-area quickness to avoid linemen. Lines up against slot receivers and tight ends, managing to stay with them in the open field in spite of his size. Flashes quickness and bend to beat tackles around the corner, can counter with an inside rush or spin move. Also quick enough to flatten down the line to make plays on inside runs. Willing to stick his shoulder into a lead blocker to free up other defenders. WEAKNESSES Might be an end/linebacker 'tweener for some teams due to his tall, lean frame. Must improve upper-body strength to get off blocks and gain leverage against NFL-caliber linemen. His height will make it more difficult for him to get low to stop ballcarriers' momentum or corral them in the open field. Inconsistent working through initial contact to chase plays and finding the ball in the backfield. Susceptible to cut blocks in space, must learn to see and beat them with his hands. Can get knocked off his pass rush route by a strong punch. NFL COMPARISON Julian Peterson BOTTOM LINE Jordan's 2012 season ended on a down note, aggravating a shoulder injury during the team's bowl game. He will miss the Senior Bowl and part of the draft process because of it, but Jordan offers a unique blend of comfort in space, length, and pass rush ability. His box scores may not appeal to everyone, but Jordan was frequently asked to cover receivers or tight ends after lining up in the slot opposite them. His future appears to be at strongside linebacker in a four man front, with the ability to rush the passer, or as an outside linebacker in a three-man front.

Posted by landrywasbeast30 on 2/16 at 1:29 pm to blueslover Jordan is one of the reasons I think the Saints should go LT or safety with that first round pick. The guy is a project. I would rather get Lane Johnson or Vaccaro in first, and someone like Brandon Jenkins in the third. Jenkins, Chase Thomas, and Sean Porter might all be better than Jordan. If Mingo or Jarvis Jones somehow fall, take one of them. If not, the other guys who will be there at that pick aren't worth it in my opinion. Reply Back to Top |
Posted by WicKed WayZ on 2/16 at 3:42 pm to landrywasbeast30 He's too much of a project player, our first round pick has to be a guy that can start right away no matter what position.Reply Back to Top |
Posted by blueslover on 2/16 at 6:34 pm to WicKed WayZ I think Jordan is a day one starter- especially here. What other 3-4OLB does he have to beat out? I do also think he might be the "answer" type player the NFL is looking for to cover the Gronks, Grahams, & other giant athletic TEs. Reply Back to Top |

Sauerbraten is actually playable, in single mode, in campaign, in slow-motion... Slow-motion speed would be needed for the multiplayer too. Otherwise it is all too fast. Compare the Battlefield and the Call of Duty series. None of them have the silly high pace of sauerbraten, warsow and other free quake-clones. UrbanTerror is the closest I can think of but that isn't really free as in GPL, is it?
Me, I think that the user numbers would rise enormously if pace went down three notches. And perhaps the code and map/mod contributions would go up.

Coburn calls for partial federal job freeze as sequestration nears
Monday - 2/25/2013, 3:03pm EST
A senior lawmaker wants the Office of Management and Budget to tell agencies to redirect money for open positions to those that are deemed critical in the face of sequestration.
Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.), the ranking member of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, wrote to Jeff Zients, OMB's deputy director for management, today asking for 10 "lower-priority" positions advertised on USAJobs.gov to be frozen, and for agencies to redirect that money to mission-critical jobs that could be affected under sequestration.
"Instituting a hiring freeze and re-assigning any of the necessary duties associated with each to current employees will allow federal agencies to adapt to the current fiscal realities without laying off or furloughing civil servants who are performing truly critical or absolutely necessary functions," Coburn wrote. "Additionally, has the administration issued, or does it plan to issue, guidance to agencies regarding savings that could be achieved through attrition of non-essential positions?"
OMB Controller Danny Werfel said Sunday that the administration and agencies continue to implement sequestration plans, which will give them a better idea of who and how many employees will face one-day-a-week furloughs starting in April and continuing through Sept. 30.
Among the positions Coburn highlights as being "low-priority" are:
- Director of Air Force History and Museums Policies and Programs to provide guidance of historical matters throughout the Department of the Air Force. Salary ranges from $143,600 to $165,300.
- A Director of the Government Employees Services Division for the Agriculture Department to improve services to federal employees. Salary ranges from $119,554 to $179,700.
- 10 drivers for the State Department. Pay ranges from $22.76 to $26.45 per hour.
- A Staff Assistant at the Labor Department to answer phones. Salary ranges from $51,630 to $81,204.
- A Counsel for the Morris K. Udall Scholarship Foundation. Salary ranges from $130,000 to $155,000.
"Are any of these positions more important than an air traffic controller, a border patrol officer, a food inspector, a Transportation Security Administration screener or a civilian supporting our men and women in combat in Afghanistan?" Coburn wrote.
Coburn said he's cut seven full-time positions from his staff to save more than $242,000 during this time of budget reductions.
"Sequestration will require managers of other agencies to make similar decisions, and with smart leadership and a thoughtful re-evaluation of missions and setting of priorities, the quality of services can similarly be preserved," Coburn wrote.
A request to OMB for comment on Coburn's letter was not immediately returned.
Coburn wants an answer from OMB by April 1.
Coburn has been vocal in the fight against government waste and programs that cost billions that, he believes, provide no value to the taxpayer.
