Financial Friday (on Sunday): Save Money By Cooking from Scratch
This post was inspired after one of my readers, Adele Flannery, praised Jamie's Food Revolution cookbook in the comment section of this post. Since this month we are trying to cut back on restaurant expenses, I took her advise and bought the book. I'm so affected by my readers comments and money saving tips! Thanks Adele! Great suggestion!
I adore the concept of Jamie's Food Revolution. It's made for people like me who never cook. It's basic with a capital B. In the introduction, Jamie suggests mastering one recipe from each chapter and then passing it on. It seems like a manageable goal. Here's my first attempt of passing it on (without breaking any copyright laws!) Below is an adapted version his Asian Chicken Noodle Broth from Chapter 1 entitled "20 Minute Meals".
The first time I tried his recipe, it took me 38 minutes, I burned the mixed seeds, and over cooked the veggies. The second time I made it, I made some changes, felt more comfortable with the recipe, and it took me around 30 minutes. Both times, the soup was delicious.
The problem I found with Jamie's cookbook is that he doesn't do lot of prep work and expects us to do a lot of multitasking to save time. For example, he'll write: While the chicken is cooking, peal and slice the ginger and slice your chili . . .
I don't know about you, but while my chicken's cooking, Oscar is screaming about my computer freezing, Ella's asking me to sharpen her pencil, and Owen is crying about a paper cut. I need to have all my food prepped and ready to go before I start cooking, just in case all hell breaks loose. If I don't, I'll end up burning something. If I find myself twiddling my fingers with nothing to do while my chicken is cooking, I can always load the dishwasher or drag a kid in time out or attempt to prop style my ingredients (below! ha). I'll find something to do, Jamie, trust me.
Things I've changed from his recipe:
I replaced the asparagus with shittake mushrooms, chicken with shrimp, and soy sauce with double fermented soy sauce. I also eliminated the baby corn and green chili. For ease, I doubled the recipe because his only serves 2. I also tried to simplify his directions into categories. My brain works better that way. His directions are lumped into 2 giant paragraphs, and I found myself getting lost. I hope that's enough changes to post this recipe on my blog. If not, print it out now before Jamie personally comes after me. It's really that good. Restaurant quality! Enjoy while you can!
Asian Noodle Shrimp Soup
adapted from Jamie's Food Revolution
serves 4
2 small handfuls of raw cashew nuts
2 tablespoons mixed seeds (pumpkin, sesame, poppy, sunflower)
2 quarts chicken broth
1 lb large uncooked peeled shrimp
4 teaspoons Chinese five-spice powder
sea salt and freshly ground pepper
olive oil
2 thumb-size pieces of fresh ginger root, sliced thin
4 ounces rice sticks
2 handfuls of snow peas
2 handfuls shitake mushrooms, sliced thin
juice of 2 limes
4 tbs double fermented soy sauce (or regular, whatever the store has)
2 small handfuls of spinach leaves
Throw cashews and seeds into a frying pan. Turn heat to medium. Toast lightly while the pan is heating up. Remove contents from pan and set it aside.
THE BROTH (part 1):
Heat the chicken broth into a large pot on high heat.
While the broth is heating up, toss shrimp with five-spice powder and a reasonable amount of salt and pepper. Heat up one or two tbsp olive oil in frying pan. Cook shrimp. Set aside.
THE BROTH (part 2):
Throw in sliced ginger root, snow peas, sliced mushrooms, lime juice, and soy sauce. Cook until veggies and noodles are done.
Put a few spinach leaves on the bottom of a bowl, add soup, places shrimp on top, and sprinkle with toasted nuts and seeds.
Wow. I have a new respect for food bloggers and cookbook writers. It's harder than it looks. This post has taken me forever to write! Hope you like it because I might never do a recipe post again. :)

This recipe looks delicious, thank you for sharing!
My husband and I participated in a challenge where we could only eat out one meal a week, for six weeks. One of the things that helped us get through is Real Simple's meals for a month. They have the shopping lists for each week on their website, and they are really yummy recipes. The best part is that shopping for each week only cost about $120. It's one of the best things that has happened to our food budget!

This looks SO SO SO delicious!!
Thinking I'll have to try this over the weekend!!

I remembered this recipe while I was at the corner grocery this afternoon. Working off memory as inspiration I bought what I thought I needed and just whipped it up. I made mine vegetarian and used tofu instead of shrimp and water with a vegan bouillon cube instead of chicken stock. It took about half and hour and is totally wonderful. Thanks for posting!

Sharon! I'm so happy you gave Jamie's cookbook a try! I promise, once you get 2-3 recipes down you'll understand the logic of the recipes and it will get a whole lot more intuitive. His curries are amazing (the Rogan Josh is my fav). I stock up on homemade curry pastes now because of him! Beautiful food post, I hope you do more when you feel up for it! :D
Your post has inspired me in return! Maybe someday I'll a recipe or two up on my own little bloggy adeleflannery.tumblr.com - Becca07leeMarch 30, 2012 at 6:20 PM
Hi, I love this! (not the soup, though I'm sure it's great) but its like having a little money saving kick in the butt, in a really good way. I brought a book off amazon just before Christmas about budgeting and saving money, many Of the reviewers have the book a bad wrap because they said it implied the readers were stupid and the whole book was just common sence, well when it comes to mindless spending, maybe I am/ was stupid. Because the simple things really helped, the first step, was write a budget, and also make note of every thing u spend that week, also to Pay any bills that came in that week on Payday, the other tip I've found really helpful was to start a spendings account, to save fOr short term goals, today after 4 months we've paid an extra $4000 of our debt, and just brought my husband a new computer he's been needing for a long time, for the first time in a long time I don't feel broke all the time, Most important thing I've noticed, kind of like dieting, it's all about creating new habits and having really crap binge weeks, we're I realize I've spent stupidly, and have no

Great pictures!
As a young professional on a budget in NYC, I often have to stretch my pennies as far as they'll go. I've become a big fan of a certain cherry-tomato-and-ravioli soup recipe by Rachel Ray. Also, anything in a slow cooker is golden!
http://notanewyorker.wordpress.com Ooooo! Looks so yummy. We have been on a Thai food kick lately...We grew these tiny little red Thai chilies in our garden last summer and dried them in the dehydrator. You only need one- BAM!- They make whatever we're cooking instantly spicy and Thai-ish. Spicy food is so comforting and filling on a cold winter night. :)
Enjoy your cooking from scratch mission! Preparing food for your family is such a labor of love- a meaningful and healthful way to express love. ♥- JeannineMarch 30, 2012 at 6:20 PM
Great pictures- that looks soooo good! It seems like after I buy all of the ingredients I end up spending more. I guess it's an upfront investment if you plan on making the same recipe more than once. I think it's brave of you to substitute ingredients. It always makes me nervous to do that. I've had good luck with Paula Deen recipes.
ReplyDelete - Julie FernandesMarch 30, 2012 at 6:20 PM
Love your comment at the end! The photos look great - makes me hungry - and I have that book of Jamie's - so even if it did take a long time to write up this post, it was totally worth it :)
ReplyDelete - MaxxSillyMarch 30, 2012 at 6:20 PM
Looks delish! Great job.
A budget tip - get cookbooks from the library rather than buy them. If you really like a recipe write it on a pretty index card and save it. Ok that looks delish, I am inspired to try it! I have this cookbook and I do love it but i'm not a very brave chef and tent to stick with what I know. The sweet and sour pork is a huge hit around here, even with my 2 year old. I am the biggest nerd in the kitchen and it takes me FOREVER to chop veggies. I have to prep everything or it goes south very quickly, especially the 1st time I make something. I also give myself double the allotted time. Who are these super fast choppers?
ReplyDelete- AmylaureeMarch 30, 2012 at 6:20 PM
We use this cookbook weekly! It's so well used that it's practically falling apart now! The multi-tasking thing Jamie O expects is fairly overwhelming, especially the first time you make the recipe. However, after you have made one of the recipes repeatedly you start to get the hang of it and it gets easier, thank goodness!
ReplyDelete Looks yummy! We'll have to try this. A budget tip... save even more by making your own broth. We do veggie broth and just use that for everything - it's F-R-E-E since we make it with what would otherwise be waste. I'm planning to blog about it this week... pictures are all taken, maybe I'll manage to get that post up today!
ReplyDelete- TheHemborgwifeMarch 30, 2012 at 6:20 PM
I have Jamie's Great Britain which is written the same way and I have to read through the recipes multiple times before I start and then do the same as you with the breaking it up. All the ones I have cooked have been worth it though!
Also I do some recipe reviews on my blog which are aimed mainly at budget cooking, since we are on one income I also try to make things stretch from dinner into a lunch if you want to check it out!
http://hemborgwife.wordpress.com/category/monday-meals/ - Nomadic D.March 30, 2012 at 6:20 PM
It looks delicious! I'm going to have to try it. And maybe take a look at the book too. I always get a little put off wen books are made for people who don't cook, because I do love to cook, but the truth is I hardly ever cook from recipes, just throw stuff together, so maybe that counts me as more of a novice in the cookbook department. Anyway, thanks for the recommendation and for this amazing post!
http://nomadic-d.blogspot.com/ So true about the expectation to multi-task from cookbooks! I have learned the hard way many of times. What probably takes a chef less than a minute takes me ... ten. I have ended up burning countless things. So now I try to chop everything before - oh, and read the recipe before I cook :)

We're vegetarians who only eat organic...and we live in a town of 30,000 with more than 9 dairies. We're so outnumbered here that some restaurants don't even offer one item without meat, and not a one of them offer an organic meal. Yeah, we cook from scratch a LOT.

Fuji is has a strong heritage in the bicycle industry. First established in 1899, the company was named after Mount Fuji. As a Mountain known as a symbol for strength and endurance it sure is no surprise that Fuji has thrived over 100 years later. Just like the mountain, the Fuji bikes that roll off the floor are some of the strongest and well designed bike on the market today.
The SLM is a Carbon Fiber Hardtail 29er. This fierce and responsive bike is certainly worth a look. The riding trend of Carbon Hardtail 29ers is a forced to be reckoned with. The large 29 inch wheels make quick work of nearly any terrain, as this beast of wheel size provide superior rollover abilities and speed. The hard tail frame makes the bike quick and snappy. This is a huge plus because large wheels are known to make for less responsive riding, however that's not the case with this Carbon hardtail 29er!
The Frame is constructed from C4 high Modulus Carbon Fiber and features internal cable routing for the ultra sleek and clean look. A tapered headtube is used to add to the stiffness and increase the ride quality and provide optimal bike handling.
The Fuji SLM 29 3.0 features an impressive component outfit. Shimano drivetrain components can be found throughout, and provide smooth and reliable shifting. WTB Speed Disc All Mountain 29 rims are durable yet lightweight. The Oval cockpit components are economical, yet add an aesthetically pleasing touch.

Germs are all around us, even in places you likely never think of sanitizing. For instance, studies show that the average desk in an office harbors more than 20,000 germs for every square inch of space, while every telephone hosts roughly 1,400 germs. While it's impossible to eradicate germs from your environment, you can protect yourself from illness through regular hand-washing. Unfortunately, the water and friction from these frequent scrubs can leave the skin dry and irritated. The Jurlique Hand Washes line was developed to help eliminate bacteria on the hands with minimal impact to delicate skin tissues.
Using natural antibacterials, the products in the Jurlique Hand Washes collection sanitize your hands and prevent bacteria from transferring from your fingertips to your eyes, nose and mouth, where they can lead to illness. Due to their natural ingredients, the items in the Jurlique Hand Washes line are nourishing, not irritating, and improve the appearance of the skin while protecting from germs. The Jurlique Hand Washes range also features indulgent fragrances to enliven your senses as you battle potentially harmful, hidden bacteria.
Protect your health by eliminating the germs that lurk on your hands before they can make you sick with the Jurlique Hand Washes range. These products allow you to adopt the regular hand-washing routine recommended by medical experts to reduce your risk for colds and flu without irritating or drying out your skin.
Jurlique Sandalwood Hand Wash uses sandalwood extract to eliminate bacteria as you wash your hands. Also known as santalum album, the sandalwood is a tropical tree commonly founded in Australia and Southeast Asian nations. In these areas of the world, sandalwood is often grown commercially, largely due to its powerful healing properties, particularly as an antibacterial. The foaming hand gel's actions are enhanced with a blend of natural herbs that condition and soothe the hands, including rosemary, horsetail, nettle, yarrow, thyme, birch and sage extracts. Avocado oil in the formula creates a lightweight shield to help your skin retain moisture even after you dry your hands.
Jurlique Moisturizing Hand Sanitizer eliminates 99.9% of all bacteria in a no-rinse formula that you can apply without ever leaving your desk. Perfect for battling germs while on the go, the formula relies on Australian bush mint to fight bacteria. The formula also contains safflower to moisturize the skin. This additional healing ingredient makes the Jurlique sanitizer unique among other no-rinse antibacterial products, which dry out the skin due to large amounts of alcohol in their formulas. Apply the sanitizer as often as needed with no fear of irritation.

Recycled Water Pack Shopping Tote
Roll over image to zoom in
Just in case you need a reminder to be conscious of product packaging while shopping, this innovative tote fits the bill beautifully by sending a subtle message about the global impact of plastic packaging and solid waste management. Stitched together from sturdy, recycled plastic water sachets, it's an opportunity to educate and inform about the dangers of widespread waste.
Finding value in seemingly valueless materials, the makers of these innovative bags pride themselves on low-energy recycling solutions for the countless drink packets discarded everywhere around Ghana. Due to its ubiquitous presence and indiscriminate disposal in the streets of Ghana, the plastic sachet is recognized regionally as a potent symbol of the solid waste problems faced by the nation. The millions of discarded plastic sachets that are collected by the Trashy Bags group are triple-washed, disinfected, then dried before being turned into durable and eye-catching bags.
- 100% recycled plastic drink containers
- Double strap handle
- Spacious single compartment
- 18.5" T x 15.5" W x 5" D (47 x 39.4 x 12.2 cm)
- Handmade in and fairly traded from Ghana

May 29, 2013 - Huge, durable and best of all made from trash. And even better the purchase goes to help those in need!!!
April 25, 2013 - These are fantastic and I'm back to order more. They are big and sturdy. Normally two of these is enough to carry all of my groceries. An added bonus is that I get a compliment nearly every time I carry these. People love them. So do I.
Artisan: Trashy Bags
"Every bag that we sell is an opportunity to educate the public about their environment and their responsibility to keep it clean for the good of humanity and of the planet's ecosystems as a whole."
Due to a rising population and an infrastructure that is inadequate to handle the waste that's produced, the nation of Ghana is struggling with issues concerning solid waste management, and as a result, streets, drains, and landfills are overflowing with trash. As is the case with most places in the world, much of this trash could be recycled, but isn't due to a general lack of education, recycling resources, and individual responsibility. One man, armed with a devoted team of over 60 workers, has set out to change this. Stuart A. Gold, a British citizen living in Ghana, is the director of Trashy Bags, an innovative company devoted to creating beautiful products out of what most people would consider garbage.
The company encourages the people of Ghana to collect the millions of discarded plastic sachets and other reusable packaging and bring them to Trashy Bag's facilities, where they are paid a fee per batch of materials. This allows people who would otherwise be out of a job to earn money, acts as a form of supplemental income for others, and encourages the people of Ghana to clean up the streets. Once the plastic is received it is washed three times, disinfected, dried, sorted, and eventually sewn into bags by the 60-plus full-time employees of Trashy Bags. Each finished bag is then packaged with an educational leaflet informing the public of the dangers of littering, and encouraging them to reduce, reuse, and recycle. The effects of cleaning the streets of Ghana are vital and far reaching -- in a country where malaria is still prevalent in poorer households, cleaning up clogged and dirty drains (breeding grounds for mosquitoes) -- is literally a life-saving practice.

Lannan faces Nationals for first start in two months
Haren starts for DC as Phillies lefty takes on scuffling former team
After eight years in the Nationals organization, Phillies southpaw John Lannan will make his first start against his former team on Monday at Citizens Bank Park.
Lannan was drafted by the Nationals in 2005 and twice started on Opening Day for the team. But after losing his spot in the rotation to Ross Detwiler last year, he was non-tendered by the Nationals and signed a one-year, $2.5 million deal with Philadelphia in the offseason.
The 28-year-old made just two starts this year before straining the quadriceps tendon in his left knee on April 17 against the Reds. He made a rehab start at Double-A Reading on Wednesday, allowing two runs on seven hits over seven innings.
"With the injury, every day you look for something that got better from the day before," Lannan said after the start. "It felt much better than it did the last time out. … I've been honest the whole process and I think I'm ready."
So, too, do the Phillies.
"They say he's been doing good," manager Charlie Manuel said. "He's responding real well. He's throwing the ball good."
The Nationals dropped their series finale against the Indians on Sunday, 2-0, wasting a one-hit outing by Stephen Strasburg in the process. Washington put eight runners on base with no outs, but couldn't bring any of them home. The preseason World Series contenders are now 34-34 and only two games ahead of the Phillies in the National League East.
"Eventually, just like everything else in baseball, it will turn around," shortstop Ian Desmond said. "We are not necessarily running out of time, but we need to start taking more steps in the right direction."
An inconsistent Dan Haren will make the start for Washington. Haren has been effective at times this season, but the Nationals have lost each of his past six starts.
Nationals: Rendon continues to pace offense
Anthony Rendon has been one of the few bright spots for Washington's struggling offense. He collected three more hits on Sunday and is now batting .444 (16-for-36) since taking over for injured starter Danny Espinosa on June 5.
Rendon has also looked comfortable at second base, a position that he played in Little League but not much since that time. A third baseman by trade, Rendon said that he is still adjusting to the different angles and responsibilities that come with a new position.
"I'm trying to get feedback from anybody that could help me out," Rendon said. "You never stop learning from this game. That's the crazy thing. I'm [not] trying to do too much. I'm just trying to make the plays."
Phillies: Young nearing mark
Third baseman Michael Young is two RBIs shy of 1,000 for his career. There are only 18 active players in Major League Baseball in the 1,000-RBI club.
• Center fielder Ben Revere, who is hitting .321 in his last 40 games, has a seven-game hitting streak (.438).
Worth noting
• Strasburg allowed just one run, but he was shouldered with the loss on Sunday. In three of his six losses this season, he has allowed one earned run or less.
• The Phillies won two of three in their first series against the Nationals last month. In 2012, the two teams split the season series, 9-9.

App Equality
In the early years of Apple's surge in the market, the App Store was the only game in town, and developers came to the platform in the thousands. Since early 2010, around the release of the Google Nexus One, the Android platform has been a competitive option in the smartphone market thanks to improved platform maturity. Initially, the number and variety of apps in the Android Marketplace did not make for a compelling experience, but developers have slowly made their way to the platform, which now has over 250,000 apps available.[*] Many apps on the Android Marketplace are reproductions of iPhone apps, and there are more and more apps making the jump to the platform. The App Store's days of total market dominance are numbered, but this can cause problems: when an app is pushed from platform to platform, the experience can take a few knocks on its way over. This article will show the differences in apps for multiple platforms, and explore ways to create a consistent user experience in mobile apps.
Platform Differences
Take, for example, the Facebook app for both iPhone and Android. They claim to have identical functionality, but depending on your device and operating system version, the app can have major differences. On Android 2.2, the home screen only shows the news feed, friends, photos, inbox, profile, and notifications; on the iPhone, it shows all of those as well as places, groups, events, chat, and notes on a second screen, with the option to customise it. The Android 2.3 version is closer to the iPhone experience, yet uses different icons for notifications, and labels messages as the "inbox." These differences may not seem so big on the latest hardware, but over 60% of all Android users are still using version 2.2[*] and the iPhone version of Facebook has had all of the functionality since version 3.0 in 2009.
Facebook on Android 2.2 (left), Android 2.3 (center) and on iPhone 4.3 (right)
When developing apps across mobile platforms, there should be no devices left with a poorer user experience. The Android platform is rapidly eating into the iPhone's market share, and this will continue as devices become cheaper. What this means for developers is that Android may become the primary focus of many mobile development houses. Nokia's support for Windows Phone 7 may help it gain significant market share, but it is unlikely to be many developers' first choice platform for apps.[*] There are, of course, other platforms: RIM's BlackBerry, HP's WebOS and MeeGo, as well as the feature-phone operating system Symbian. These platforms should not be dismissed and if a product wants maximum reach, it should have an app for all of these platforms.
There's really no reason why experiences should be different across any of the platforms. Each is now mature enough to meet the needs of the user, and developers now have well-tested tools to create these apps. Every platform can list items in a table, but the Kindle app for Android has a different, more beautiful look-and-feel because of its use of the iconic Kindle image in the table's background. Transitions are smoother than on the iPhone and icons for books are larger and more legible.
Kindle on Android 2.3 (left) and iPhone 4.3 (right)
Apps do not have to look exactly the same across all platforms. For example, Foursquare for Android has tabs at the top of the screen, rather than at the bottom as on the iPhone. This is taking cues from the native experience and building upon learned patterns to produce a natural user experience for users of that platform.
Levelling the Playing Field
As a developer, I can see two ways to create a consistent user experience across mobile apps:
- Invest more time and effort into matching functionality and experience for the different platforms. This may involve redesigning some screens to fit with the platform's styles and unique features and to bring them to life.
- Develop the app as a web app. The Web is a great leveller on mobile devices; all major platforms (apart from Windows Phone 7) come preinstalled with browsers based on WebKit. They all support the latest HTML5 features such as app caching and local storage for creating web apps that work completely offline, and are beginning to make use of hardware acceleration for transitions, canvas, and SVG graphics. All of the latest mobile browsers now have basic support for touch events so gesture-based experiences can be created.
Web apps also have a discoverability problem, as they are not available through native app stores for the different platforms. This is a key part of the customer experience of an app; having to download an app from somewhere other than an app store is not consistent with expectations for apps. But there are ways around this; PhoneGap, for example, is a web app packaging solution for native apps, but it doesn't support all major devices at the moment. The W3C is working on a widget packaging specification, which creates downloadable archives of web applications that can run offline. RIM have implemented this in their WebWorks platform and Opera in their browser extensions platform, though it is clearly not ready for large-scale use as Mozilla and Google have both implemented different specifications for their browser extension stores.
For app equality, HTML5 and the mobile web are a great step forward. As technology develops, and feature-enabling standards are ratified , true user experience equality between native apps and the Web can be attained. After that, for a great experience, the choice is mobile web.

- AIR for iOS now available: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash-builder.html
- To me the question of should apps match platform UI conventions or not has two legitimate answers:
Navigation conventions must obviously match (hardware vs. onscreen back button, onscreen controls placement etc). But as for the sheer look of the widgets, it is my opinion that you as a developer may choose which approach suits you best.
Let's take for granted that android users don't want the iOS look and vice versa. That leaves you with two options; either you closely match the UI guidelines of the respective platform (both AIR and web apps offer platform-specific css), or you develop your own unique visual style. The latter approach is what users already know from web sites and web apps today.
Both approaches are valid, and it really depends on your brand and your target group. If you ask me you don't need a super-consistent UI at all on platforms other than Apple's. Windows and Linux users are used to skinning, and Android comes in different visual flavors like HTC sense and so on. It's only Apple who think their UI is so super cool that they retain their exact same UI even in the Windows versions of iTunes, Quicktime Player and Safari.
Anyway, the difference between users of different platforms is soooo much smaller than the one between users from different cultures, I can tell you as a European guy. It would be both ethically and financially more attractive to take that into accout, but I fear this would take another blog post...
I'm in agreement Sean C above, that the opposite argument makes far more sense: The user experience for each platform should be as different from one another as the platforms themselves are different from each other.
Sean C cites the "back button" convention, which is a perfect example. If you create a dialog box with a on-screen back button in it for your iPhone app, and then use that same UI element on your Android version of that app, you're telling your Android user to adapt to a convention they are not used to. And the inverse is impossible, because iPhone doesn't even have a hardware back button. Basically, one *has* to make the app different across platforms in order to make it as easy as possible to use by users of each platform.
But it's not just the interaction design that differs across platforms. The whole visual aesthetic of the apps, and the tastes and cultural/stylistic leanings of the users themselves, is different. Android has a brand aesthetic that is different from Apple's, and their respective audiences expect these user experiences to be consistent with the aesthetic of the platform they have invested in.
One example: The Android version of the Kindle app that you cite. You say "the Kindle app for Android has a different, more beautiful look-and-feel because of its use of the iconic Kindle image in the table's background". I'd argue that the Android version is not "more beautiful" with the background image, but is actually more cluttered, needlessly busy, and IMHO a little corny looking. But it is definitely consistent with most other Android user experiences, where both functional and decorative UI elements tend to fill every empty space around and within whatever you are looking at. This is in contrast with the iPhone version which is simple and straightforward (some would say boring and dry, some might say elegant and focused), which is likewise consistent with Apple iOS design conventions. I am pretty confident that most iPhone users would prefer the background-less version.
As for "feature parity", where all platforms have the same feature set, I'm not sure why that needs to be true. Why should it matter to a user of Platform X whether a user of Platform Y has more or fewer features than they have? It seems like this is the business's prerogative to choose what to build into their various platforms. Is this an ethical question to you?
Thanks for your comments John, hopefully I covered the third with the PhoneGap argument. AIR is a great technology, but not supported by the iPhone, and I doubt it ever will be. The iPhone takes a large proportion of app mind-share in the western world and I'd have reservations about creating an app or website that doesn't work on the iPhone.
A colleague of mine has pointed me to a very recent article by Facebook on their new mobile web site: http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=10150122073713920 developing for the lowest common denominator and writing the same code for multiple different device capabilities. Well worth a read.
"As a developer, I can see two ways to create a consistent user experience across mobile apps:"
There are three:
o write in native-code for each device, with parallel testing, support, and maintenance costs, and distribute via app store;
o write in HTML for each device's browser, with lower testing/support/maintenance costs, and distribute as webpage;
o write in a bridging technology such as Adobe AIR, with even lower testing/support/maintenance costs, and distribute via app store.
(The question about "app equality" is an interesting one... in thinking about equal experiences for diverse audiences, this is similar in ways to questions about accessibility and globalization/localization. Figuring out the true audiences and their eventual needs is often quite tricky. And "Sean C" raises a parallel problem: should the app look the same across devices, or the same as other apps on each device? That's even trickier! ;-)
Thanks for the interesting article, Steve. I agree that no device/OS should be left with a poor(er) user experience, but different OS, and even different versions of the same OS, offer different opportunities that I think designers should know how to leverage, even if it means that e.g. the Android version of the Facebook app ends up being different than the iOS version. Also, unless an Android user also uses an iOS device as his second device or switches from one to the other, differences between apps on the two platforms don't really matter much from a comparison standpoint to the actual user.
Also, I notice one mistake in the text. You state that Symbian is a "feature-phone operating system". That's not true, however. Symbian is very much a smartphone OS. Nokia's Java-based S40 is the operating system that they use in feature phones.
What's happening today is that the applications with the broadest platform support (like facebook & gmail), also have a great mobile web experience. I personally believe that the mobile web should be your first focus & when you have established a great piece of experience on the web, you should move on to native apps.
About using html5 for native apps trough frameworks like phonegap, please read this article:
Short recap of this article:
Users have high expectations on native apps, but it also has a good ux.
Users have lower expectations on web apps, so the limited ux of the mobile web is taken for granted and the user is easier satisfied.
But if you package a web app as a native app, the expectation rises, but the ux stays limited. resulting in dissatisfied users.
Since this article was written, Facebook have updated their app for iPhone to version 3.4. This adds some features that aren't present in the Android app, such as the Places map view. However, the label for "Inbox" has now changed to "Messages", matching the latest Android version.
Clearly there is some fragmentation here, but I don't believe they should hold a release back for a platform, as long as the other platforms receive their update quickly.
Hi Sean, thanks for your comments.
A number of people have commented that the version of Facebook labeled as 2.2 is quite an old version of the app and it simply needs to be updated. However, the app came pre-installed on an Android 2.2 HTC Desire which was purchased brand new less than a month ago. Since then, there have been no notifications that there is an update available, or that the user has simply not been encouraged to get the new functionality. To the owner of that phone, that's what Facebook is. Perhaps in this rapidly moving app market, developers should consider an update model similar to Google Chrome, where updates are installed in the background, meaning everyone will be up to date and have the same functionality.
With regard to different platforms having different interactions and visual languages, I completely agree. However, very few companies have the funds to build apps that work across all platforms, taking on their features. Mobile web and PhoneGap is a great way to extend the reach of your app without spending a lot of money.
In designed across multiple mobile phone platforms, I have found the opposite to be true. Each platform (iOS, Android, WP7) has its own design ethos and best practices. An iOS app should have a back button in the top right, where as Android has a back button and stands for the design principal of show content not navigation. On the Facebook app, notifications look different because of the differences in visual language on the platforms. As an Android user, I would be disappointed in the developer if I were forced to the interface of an iOS device.
Additionally, the heart of your argument, is based on the Android 2.2 Facebook app being the image on the left. My device is a Droid X, running 2.2, and my Facebook app is the image in the middle. I imagine the image on the left is outdated, or for 1.x devices (~10%).

Cha ca La Vong (grilled minced fish) - A remarkable culinary invention -- Eating
Hanoi now has several stores selling Cha ca La Vong, but none of them can be equal to the Cha Ca Road's in terms of quality and flavor. As a popular dish, La Vong grilled fish pie is indeed a remarkable culinary invention.
Imagine that you are one of the guests…
While you sit down at the table, the waiter starts laying there some seasonings includes a bowl of well - stirred shrimp paste sauce mixed up with lemon. After dropping the liquor, he will decorate the bowl with a few slices of red fresh pimento, a plate of grilled ground nuts of gold yellow color, various species of mint vegetables onions in small white slices.
In the whole of Vietnam, there are 3 suggested Cha ca La Vong restaurants:
* N014, Cha Ca street- Old Quarter in Hanoi
* N087 Nguyen Truong To street, Hanoi
* N03 Ho Xuan Huong street, Ward 6, District 3, HCM

The latest version of Picasa* includes something very interesting: a Windows service called Google Updater, set to start automatically. The new service is connected to Picasa, which has new options. Before this version, Picasa had an option to check for new updates and let you manually install the new version.
There are also new keys in the Registry:
Although there's no information about the new service, it seems that Google wants to create a centralized update system, similar to Windows Updates, that will be installed with each Google software.
Google Updater is also a program that installs and updates the software for Google Pack, but this one has a GUI.

What false premense? They are making a phone, they are using QT/QML? I don't get whats false about that statement. Any explaination Michael?
Phoronix: KDE's Aaron Seigo Bashes Ubuntu Phone
Well known KDE developer Aaron Seigo has come out criticizing the Ubuntu Phone project, which has a developer preview coming out next week. He was quick to criticize the Ubuntu Touch Developer Preview and feels that free software developers and users interested in this project are "being duped" by Canonical...
What false premense? They are making a phone, they are using QT/QML? I don't get whats false about that statement. Any explaination Michael?
I don't get it at all either, being duped by what exactly?!
People "buying into it" are fans of Ubuntu wanting a phone running it...it's quite simple and no duping involved.
From link
He bash Canonicals market department."When complete, the same Ubuntu code will deliver a mobile, tablet, desktop or TV experiences depending on the device it is installed on, or where it is docked."
But not the Ubuntu Phone.I want to make it crystal clear that I think Ubuntu Phone a great thing to see; more Free software mobile efforts, particularly ones using Qt/QML, warm my insides like a good bowl of soup on a cold winter's night
The "too long; didn't read" version: Ubuntu Phone isn't the same as Ubuntu. While Unity uses QML that let's it achieve application portability across devices/platforms, Ubuntu Phone has no traces of QML in its sources, which means that Ubuntu Phone will be like MS Surface RT -- the "mobile apps" will work, the desktop ones won't. Caconical, on the other hand, claims that there won't be any difference between them, and they even promise binary compatibility.
in short, Ubuntu is becoming another Android.
Most of the posters don't seem to understand what Aaron Seigo wants to express and what he criticizes.
Although it is a pity, it still makes me think that those people don't deserve better than further proposing Ubuntu and moving away from the basic idea of what the GNU-OS is about.
You don't have to be a radical proponent of free software to perceive what Canonical's main interests are concerning Ubuntu and Ubuntu Phone.
To give you a little hint: These are not interests most of you would agree with, being mostly focused on creating an empire and monopoly on what most people believe is *free* software, but which in reality isn't at all.
If Canoncial can deliver the Ubuntu Phone as demo'ed then I'd be happy. This means being able to run software currently available for desktop.
I find all the other Tablet and Phone OS's limiting.
Plasma Active shows promise but when I tested it on my Nexus 7 it was riddled with flaws and missing abilities that are required to navigate or have power. The PA developers aren't listening to the community. Example I don't like apps running full screen, but PA devs don't want to know about it.
With QML Plasma Active will also benefit from Ubuntu Phone apps.

It's crazy how a skater who landed 3salchow/3toe in the SP and four triples in the FS didn't even try to qualify for Junior Nationals (Agafonova).
Gerboldt/Enbert skated the SP only:
3Tw1 -1
LoTh (no value so must have been a pop)
Not a great skate. :/
Exactly. I wish other federations would follow this example. Although I guess finances are an issue. It's very expensive to hold so many events both for organisers and the skaters.
In Poland the qualification system for pre-Novice and Novice nationals (where there's a lot of skaters) works exactly like this. There isn't just one qualifying competition but the scores from across the season count.

At Younger age won Anastasia Gubanova (girls) and Petr Gumennik (boys).
Predictable - they are very talented children.
Anastasia Gubanova (born 02 Dec 2002, so she will be age eligible to Olympics 2022 and Worlds 2019) landed 3F in competition before her 9th birthday. Now she lands 4 triples (all except 3Lz -she may jump 3Lz, but not stable enough) and 3T+3T combo. She is very small - looks like a baby, not child.
Petr Gumennik (born 11 Apr 2002) has 3Lo+3Lo combo and all five triples.
I always love to see a well executed 3Lo3Lo combo They just aren't that common.
Elder Age (girls)
1. Alina Karavaeva.
2. Alexandrina Degtyareva.
3. Ekaterina Vysotina.
Only Karavaeva is known at national level (not of best).

Why is Russian Federation happy to release someone who even at such a young age is getting such a good results? If this competition is equivalent to novice championships and Tursynbaeva came second, aren't they worried that this girl may potentially steal future medals from Russian girls? Wouldn't they prefer to keep her, just in case? Don't get me wrong, I am glad that some of those talented young girls get to compete and competing for a different country may be the only way if the number of spots is limited to 3 per country. It is a waste that some of those girls will never be able to go to Europeans even if they are better than the rest of Europe, only because they may be unlucky to be number 4 in Russia. But I am curious why would Russian Federation be happy about putting their resources in her and then letting her go. Will she still be able to train in Russia, with the same coach?

It is just Moscow Qualifiers to "third sort Russian Nationals" (first - Senior, second - Junior Nationals), best skaters don't take place - they had all they wanted at 1st and 2nd sort nationals, best of the best few days ago competed at Jr Worlds or are preparing to Sr Worlds.
Competitors are at most very young girls, many of them were at qalifiers to Novice Nationals (Zhuk).
But level is not so low - in SP first two landed 3+3 combo, only 7 of 30 performed 2F, other 23 at least tried 3F, all 30 tried combo with first triple (and 19 of them had non-negative GOE for combo).
So I recommend the videos.
