The Technology Influenced of Songs from the 90s0
The 1990s observed probably the most rapid rates of technology within the twentieth century. A movement which spurred a rise in the supply of media and helped usher within an era where music was formed by emerging technologies, transforming not just the songs from the 90s, but altering the field of music for that decades ahead.
In the epicenter from the new wave of technologies within the 90s was digital revolution. Bulky, single-purpose cell phones were substituted for smaller sized devices loaded with a lot of embedded functionality. The web increased tremendously from anonymity to become digital communication and knowledge web adopted by 50% of Western Countries. Assisting to boost the dominance from the internet was Intel's development of the Pentium nick. For his or her part, computing devices manufacturers added staples for their pc choices for example CD burners and CD Rom drives.
Using the onslaught of recent technology came a change from the songs from the 90s. The 1990s heralded the beginning from the boy band, teen pop sensations, commercial and sampled hip-hop music tracks. Even armchair musicians would obtain a opportunity to make higher musical contributions using the glut in musical technology because it grew to become feasible for a broader quantity of musicians to create electronic music. What began out sounding like dance music was progressively less targeted for the dance-floor audience and much more towards home listeners. This genre later grew to become referred to as "Electronica", or perhaps in its slower manifestations, "Chill-out" or "Ambient music".
At the end of spring 1998, the very first Music player was launched, plus the 32 and 64MB Audio players. Through the mid 2000′s the Mp3 format would overtake the CD player in recognition. Early adopters from the technology – mostly more youthful music audiences could be because of the chance to endorse their preferred music tastes — the pop songs from the 90s, catapulting celebrities in to the place-light. Unsurprisingly, between 1997 and 1999, American teen celebrities and groups were extremely popular, with a few of the popular functions to be the Backstreet Boys, NSYNC, 98 Levels, Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears. This scene targeted the more youthful people of Generation Y.
Today, technology is constantly on the play an important role in deciding which music we allow into your own space. The web and new media have built on the top from the foundations set within the 1990s getting better use of talent that may go undiscovered previously. Songs from the 90s stimulate a feeling of nostalgia of possibly the last decade where the dominant music genres nowadays remained as within their infancy.
Technology Changes and The Global Village0
The advancement in technologies have certainly were built with a major impact on the lives of numerous. Our planet has become a worldwide village and distances no more an issue. Communications and mass information is simply a couple of clicks away because of the computer related technology, more particularly the utility of internet, which is part of the data technology.

The systems have grown to be streamlined and responsive and therefore easier towards the users.
This constant and rapid alternation in web technologies have opened up many home windows of chance for the users and also the developers. You are in possession of more choices to change to and also the developers need to try to develop newer, better, efficient and simple to use portals.
In the beginning, E-commerce existed simply as a kind of facilitation for commercial and financial transactions. It is among the couple of stuff that have altered with the passing of time. This historic turning of e-commerce happened around three decades ago.
Technologies for example electronic data exchange and electronic funds transfer happen to be introduced plus they were built with a revolutionary effect since these permitted the companies to speak the commercial documents like the basics of purchase orders and invoices via electronic network systems safely.

One thing I remember as I kid is going to the 4H fair with my parents and being tempted by those enormous stuffed animals by the carnival games. You always saw them hanging, but you never saw anyone win one. That should have been my first clue that there was something fishy about the games.
Flash forward to when we got the first Carnival Games for Wii. The controls were difficult and some of the games nearly impossible. An accurate interpretation of those childhood memories, but for some reason, we just kept on playing. This sort of masochistic behavior is best left for therapy sessions.
So when the sequel, New Carnival Games: Return to the Midway arrived, we thought we were in for more tears and controller throwing. Fortunately for all involved, there have been improvements. Yes, some of the games are quite difficult, but these are balanced by others that are enjoyable to all ages
The overall concept to the game is the same as the first. You create a custom character, play games to earn tickets and virtual prizes, and then redeem tickets for crazy clothes for your character to wear. That's all there is to it, but for a game aimed at younger kids the silly hats are enough motivation to keep on trying for those tickets.
You'll play games of the same style you would expect to see at a fair: skeeball, make baskets in a moving hoop, bag tossing, and shooting targets. These are similar to what the first game offered, but the controls seemed a little easier and less frustrating this time around. What really sets this second game apart are the more unusual activities. The family favorite is the haunted house, when gives you a first-person perspective as you aim for and shoot targets on ghosts that pop up. The other would be the tractor pull which, being from Indiana, is something I've witnessed in person. This version has all the fun and none of the ear-bleeding.
Overall, the game is aimed at younger kids starting around first grade. Though older kids would enjoy most of the games the first few times, I don't think it would hold their interest over the long term. If your kids enjoyed the first version of this game, the new one is certainly worth a try.

It's fair to say that the work of David Baker + Partners Architects (DB) is an annual favorite of the Architecture and the City Festival AIA Home Tours in San Francisco. David Baker's consistent lineup on the roster is a testament to the firm's engaging, cutting edge design talent. This year we were in for a treat with the Drs. Julian and Raye Richardson Apartments, which now crown the intersection of Gough and Fulton, filling in one of the urban gaps between Civic Center and Hayes Valley - read on for a firsthand look inside!
One of the most impressive aspects of the Richardson Apartments is that all of its 120 residents were formerly homeless. David Baker joked that these are his most appreciative clients, and it is clear that the best therapy for this particular demographic is a place they can call home!
The site was developed by Community Housing Partnership (CHP) and is part of the diagonal swath of land left exposed when the Central Freeway was removed 10 years ago. Hayes Valley has undergone repairs ever since, and DB noted that the design is as much about 'sewing the City back to together' as it is about housing the homeless.

Unlike most design firms, DB often helps vet prospective commercial tenants to find the best fit for the community. Hayes Valley Bakeworks, now located on the corner of Gough and Fulton, is one such tenant, with the mutual benefit of being located next to some of the formerly homeless workers they train. Bakeworks is the brainchild of Toolworks, an organization founded in 1975 which continues to provide job training for those who need it most.

Famed landscape architect Andrea Cochran brought a green thumb to the interior court, playing off the existing tiled mural that was previously the backdrop of a parking lot on site. Cubical wood benches made of Monterey Cypress salvaged from the Presidio by Green Waste Recycle Yard are paired with cantilevered outdoor tables by Concreteworks, and a screen of reclaimed urban wood wraps the exposed courtyard stair. Complimenting the inner court are industrial mailbox pavilions and a reclaimed wood covered reception desk in the lobby, fabricated by Pacassa Studios in West Oakland. Another place of respite sits on top the development, where roof top planters await the city's newest urban gardeners, complete with their own irrigation system.
In contrast to the flora oasis inside, the exterior incorporates Rheinzink (Galvalum) cladding with inset panels of FSC-certified Ipe wood, and stucco along Gough, creating a quilted effect that plays off the urban fabric motif.
While we weren't able to visit the actual residential units (since all of them were quickly occupied), we got to learn some of the project challenges behind the scenes from architect David Baker himself. Baker described how some of the neighboring condo owners were initially concerned about having low-income housing built next to their own substantial property investments. But no one is protesting the final product – and if anything, private residential owner/developers will have to step up to their game to meet the level of design and the contribution this building offers the community.

PASADENA, Calif. — On the new ABC cooking competition show "The Taste," celebrity chefs Ludo Lefebvre, Nigella Lawson, Anthony Bourdain and restaurateur Brian Malarkey judge the merits of wannabe culinary masters, both pros and home cooks, on a single spoonful in blind taste tests a la "The Voice." And as on "The Voice," the chefs also take the contestants under their wings as mentors. But since the blind tests continue, the judges/coaches could accidentally eliminate their own team members. "It's tricky," said Lefevbre, famous for his "LudoBites" pop-up restaurant events in LA, when he recently sat down to lunch with reporters at the Television Critics Association press tour. "We don't know whose food we're eating." Lefevbre, who has also appeared on "Top Chef Masters" and "The Iron Chef," also said he wouldn't be going easy on his contestants. "I am real chef," he said in his lilting accent, promising that the contestants who signed up with him "get to suffer." "The Taste" airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. on Channel 5.
Q. What appealed to you about this show?
A. I love to meet people and I love to teach. And I think it's very exciting to try and make somebody better. Especially the home cooks. You'll see on the show, I have some home cooks on my team and I love to see that.
Q. Who's your biggest competitor?
A. I don't fight. Anthony is my idol, I love Anthony. Anthony knows everything about food. And he knows how to talk with his team. He's very smart. Nigella, she was the first food porn. I was in love with her 10 years ago when she was on E!. She's so sexy. She knows a lot about food. Malarkey, I didn't know who he was.
Q. Were you surprised by any of the home cooks?
A. Yes. I ate some home chef stew, amazing. I ate some from [a professional] chef, disgusting.
Q. Were any of the contestants good enough that you would hire them?
A. Yes, there is somebody I want to hire. You'll see on the show.
Q. Did you often have preconceived notions based on the bite? Thinking it was a home cook vs. pro or male vs. female?
A. Oh yeah, one day there was a lady and I thought [the cook] was a man for sure.
Q. How would you do on a show like this?
A. It's so hard to balance everything on one spoon. Sometimes some of the dishes are so good but the contestants don't put enough vegetable or meat.
Q. What should every aspiring chef have in their kitchen?
A. Some good fat in the fridge. Butter. I'm French.
Q. What would you make if you had to put your best foot forward?
A. Probably something very simple like good scrambled eggs with a lot of butter.
Interview has been edited and condensed.

Last week I complained that Contentions — Commentary's new blog — had an excessive pool of talent on which to draw. Included among the Contentions contributors are magazine regulars Gabriel Schoenfeld, Terry Teachout, Joshua Muravchik and David Gelernter. Adding insult to injury, the blog then began to raid the Commentary archives, posting Weekend Reading — short stories by Saul Bellow, Bernard Malamud, Isaac Singer, Cynthia Ozick and others — drawn from Commentary's vault.
This week the blog is featuring an exchange on Iraq between Victor Davis Hanson (round one here) and Max Boot (round one here). For a perfect glimpse of what knowledge matched with subject can add to a story, see the brief post by Williams College art history professor (and Commentary regular) Michael J. Lewis: "Mr. Wynn's elbow."

Bob Vila's Last-Minute Holiday Gift Ideas 2011
Read up on some great gift ideas for the DIYer in your life, no matter their taste.
I don't know about you, but this year I don't want to saddle my kids with all sorts of large purchases that they need to fit in the car for the trip home from our holiday celebrations. Plus, it's the green thing to do. So with this in mind, I'm focused on giving gifts of experiences instead.
Here are my top last-minute gift ideas:
For the Home-Improver:
- Pass on one of your heirloom hand tools to the new do-it-yourselfer in the family (or if that's too difficult to part with, show them how to use it instead).
- Give a gift certificate for their local home center.
Why this is on my list: My father made furniture, worked on home renovations, and fixed things with just two toolboxes and a workbench. Over the years I've carefully assembled my own tools, ranging from traditional, tried-and-true tools to the latest innovations. There's nothing like the satisfaction of creating something yourself, with your own hands, whether it's a simple DIY project or your actual trade.
For inspiration:
- Watch video of my home workshop
- Watch video of making an armoire into an entertainment center
- Check out my five rules for tools
For the History or Architectural Buff:
- Historic New England is the oldest and largest regional heritage organization in the nation. Membership benefits include free admission to see all their historic properties, exclusive member-only events, a newsletter, and a magazine. Give a gift membership. For an additional fee, members can get a one-on-one consultation with the Old House Maintenance Advisor.
Why this is on my list: Buildings, especially homes, are my life's work. I've studied architecture and had my own remodeling and design business. Old houses have a lot to teach us about the people who built them, lived there, and were part of a given community. They offer us a glimpse of history that helps explain how we've come to live how we do.
For the Museum-goer:
- Give tickets to attend a museum show. The American Association of Museums' website provides a state-by-state listing.
For the Community Builder:
- Habitat for Humanity builds basic and affordable houses for those lacking adequate shelter. Organize your family and friends to participate. Find volunteer opportunities at your local affiliate or donate to the organization.
Why this is on my list: I've been actively involved with Habitat for Humanity and helped them blitz build a house in Yonkers, NY, which we put on TV.
Watch my Building Green video on building a Habitat for Humanity affordable green apartment building with the help of volunteers.
For the Preservationist:
- The National Trust for Historic Preservation works with thousands of preservation groups across 50 states to protect the historic buildings and neighborhoods that help tell America's story. Give a gift of membership.
- The Finca Foundation's mission is to work with Cuban colleagues to restore and preserve Ernest Hemingway's home, Finca Vigía, its contents, and his fishing boat. Of particular note: the author's 9,000 book library, which includes thousands of letters and photographs as well as manuscripts and galley proofs. Give a gift in someone's name and honor the legacy of one of America's most famous authors.
Why this is on my list: In the last five years I've been helping out with the restoration of Ernest Hemingway's home and collections at Finca Vigía near Havana, Cuba. This place was his home from 1939 until his death and he left it to the Cuban people to be run as a museum. This project has allowed me to visit my parents' homeland several times.
For the Eco-Minded and Lover of Nature:
- The National Park Foundation is the national philanthropic partner of the National Park Service. The organization's mission is to care for "…special places saved by the American people so that all may experience our heritage." Make a donation on behalf of your family and friends and help support America's national parks
Why this is on my list: The National Park Service safeguards critical parts of America's history – from 84,000,000 acres of land to 85,049 miles of perennial rivers and streams to 27,000 historic structures to 582 national natural landmarks, and the list goes on.
- The Nature Conservancy's mission is "to preserve the plants, animals and natural communities that represent the diversity of life on Earth by protecting the lands and waters they need to survive." Gifts of nature include planting trees in Brazil, adopting an acre of rainforest in Costa Rica, and creating safety for hummingbirds along their migration paths.
- Natural Resources Defense Council's mission is "to safeguard the Earth: its people, its plants and animals and the natural systems on which all life depends." Give a gift membership.
Why these are on my list: With our planet in peril, global warming, resource depletion, and pollution, nothing is more important than going green.
Happy Holidays!

U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
Supermarket Chain Failed to Accommodate and Fired Long-Time Employee After She Tried to Use Medical Leave to Manage Her Condition, Federal Agency Charged
DENVER - Dillon Companies, which does business in Colorado as King Soopers, Inc., a large retail food company, refused to accommodate and unlawfully fired a receptionist at its company headquarters because of her bipolar condition, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) charged in a lawsuit filed in federal court in Denver.
According to the EEOC's suit (EEOC v. Dillon Companies, Inc., d/b/a King Soopers, Inc. 12-cv-02458-REB-KMT, King Soopers refused to accommodate Kelly Ferris's need for sufficient time off to manage her bipolarism. Hired as a receptionist in 2003, Ferris worked at King Soopers' headquarters on Tejon Street in Denver for five years before she was discharged while on medical leave. Ferris requested use of the company's 18-month medical leave policy, explaining that she needed the time to manage a flare-up in her disability, but during her fifth month of company leave,King Soopers fired her for failing to report to work without permission.
Disability discrimination violates the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which requires employers to engage in an interactive process with employees in good faith, exploring what accommodations for a disability are possible. The EEOC filed suit in U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado after first attempting to reach a voluntary settlement through its conciliation process. The EEOC seeks monetary damages on behalf of Ferris, training on anti-discrimination laws, an injunction, posting of anti-discrimination notices at the work site and other injunctive relief.
Under the ADA, medical leave constitutes a reasonable accommodation. The length of leave is considered reasonable if it coincides with leave already required by federal or state laws or which is available under a company's general leave policies. An employer discriminates against a disabled employee if the employer fails to provide her with the same length of leave it provides the rest of its work force, and does so because of her disability.
"Bipolar disorder and other psychiatric conditions have long been misunderstood in society," said EEOC Phoenix Regional Attorney Mary Jo O'Neill. "Employees who have bipolar disorder are frequently subject to unfair stereotypes about their ability to work. That's why the EEOC filed this lawsuit."
Denver EEOC Field Director Nancy Sienko added, "Employees with bipolar disorder and other psychiatric disabilities are productive members of the work force when afforded equal opportunity to be so, especially when employers comply with their duty under the ADA to provide reasonable accommodation such as time off, and eliminate stereotypes from the workplace."
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov.

Ericmorgan80 needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 29 designs submitted by 9 freelance designers.
Green Light Daily
Can lead to more work! I have a company that focuses on web design and internet marketing services with 30+ clients. I have regular designers I outsource design to but they have not been able to come up with a logo I like yet for this website so I decided to give 99designs a try. If you do well I would love to continue our relationship and add you as one of my contract designers. My business is http://www.adaptivitypro.com
This is for a 'daily deal' type site like groupon.com. The intended audience is anyone that is looking for a great deal.
My client would like one that is a 'cartoon character' of a street light, with maybe the 'green' light on top as the head and arms coming out? He is open to any color scheme. He really likes the logo on http://bargainbee.com/. He also really likes http://hoglezoo.org in general. Some ideas of my own are the logo to include a stoplight, then maybe a few options without, or having the stoplight be the 'i' in 'light' or something? The main logo should have the text horizontal but the final product will need a 'square' version to be used on facebook, etc. Just be creative and let me know if you have any questions!

This is unusual in the tech world, and that's probably because it's pretty bloody hard to keep these things under wraps. Still, Apple tries all the same, because the buzz that a secret generates is impossible to recreate when a launch is long and drawn out. And, more importantly, you love it. The secrecy game twiddles with your brain bits in such a way as to get you out of bed and into line outside the store when you might otherwise not. The question is: is it all worth the effort?

The Gospel's Compelling Uniqueness

Danny Kass and Amber Stackhouse became the USASA National halfpipe champions on March 30, 2000. Actually Danny was already the reigning champion, so he just defended his title.
Under ominous skies, the USASA halfpipe championships for the Open Class went off almost without a hitch. I suppose compared to yesterday's contest, it was incredibly smooth, although maybe that was just because I didn't get there until two, and I missed most of the early stuff.
The thing about nationals is you never know what's going to happen. You can't discount anyone's run until you've seen the whole thing. The same kid that did a tindy and a tailfish his first two hits, is the kid who does a double back flip his last hit, the most kinked in the pipe.
The kid qualified by the Illinois Raging Bull series could very well be the next Trevor Andrew. This was pretty much the theme of the halfpipe contest, but luckily there were a few riders whose runs weren't hucked or ugly, and surprisingly enough, most of them made the top ten.
The halfpipe was less than perfect, in fact it was just plain bad. The sections of the wall which didn't resemble a banked ramp were totally kinked or had holes in them. The first hit was actually the best in the entire pipe, which made it almost a necessity to do your best trick first. Danny Kass chose to do a switch 720. Add this to a consistently technical run, and you've got the highest score of the day. I would have some really great pictures of Danny riding, but he informed me I was not allowed to take pictures of him in this particular pipe.
Based on some of the pictures I did get, the maximum five foot airs that people were pulling off would have made great blackmail material for someone like him.
In second place for the men was Lane Knaack. I'm not really sure what Lane's runs consisted of, because I didn't even realize he was there
Kyle Clancy, placing lower in his disciple of choice than the slopestyle at third, was doing ally-oop 540s his first hit, and then staying on his feet for the rest of his run, a real accomplishment in this event. Another notable was the unknown Salomon rider, who did a bunch of eight foot mctwists to the deck, finally landing one his last run, much to the delight of everyone watching.
There was a bit more competition in the pipe for the ladies than yesterday's event. Kelly Clarke showed up, as did Nevin Schwartz and Sarah Thompson from Okemo. In terms of an amateur pipe contest, the field was pretty stacked with sick riders. Unfortunately, the pipe didn't really allow for them to ride to their potential. The most popular run was to do a frontside 540 first hit. This was the choice of both first and second place finishers, Amber Stackhouse and Nevin Schwartz. Kelly Clarke went the biggest of all the girls, and although her second run was somewhat cleaner than her first, her best score was received for the latter, and was only good enough for third. Less than a half a point separated the top three women, although there were certainly some girls there that brought down the entire average, but I'm not even going to get into that.
1. Danny Kass 33.8
2. Lane Knack 31.7
3. Kyle Clancy 30.4
4. Eric Warren 30.1
1. Amber Stackhouse 22.9
2. Nevin Schwartz 22.7
3. Kelly Clarke 22.6

Today's Diena published answers of the Latvian top notch politicians while talking about their intentions prior the ominous referendum.
PM Ivars Godmanis (LPP/LC): "Even prewar Latvia was characterised with political instability, when governments were changing every 8-9 months, but there were no snap elections. Today, if people are not happy with their MP`s they can elect new ones in next elections, or become candidates themselves. Electing the parliament is creative process, while referendum would be a destructive process without any result."
Speaker of the parliament Gundars Daudze (ZZS): "Referendum would create a deep crisis in Latvia and therefore I shall not participate in the referendum and so shall ask also other people. These amendments are judicially questionable and are undemocratic. The basic principle of democracy is that minority must yield to majority, but constitutional amendments are not offering us this. These constitutional amendments could create a huge crisis and the situation might be created when there is neither elected parliament nor president in Latvia."
The head of the People´s Party parliamentary fraction Māris Kučinskis (TP): "referendum is an instrument in hands of opposition parties. I will not take part in referendum because amendments are dangerous. They allow a small number of people (150 000) to change election results.
Leader of the Civic Union party Ms Sandra Kalniete (PS): "I will vote AYE. Present governance in Latvia is not a true democracy but a dictatorship of a narrow circle of political elite. Proposed amendments could finally make MP`s to listen to the will of their voters, because the bone of contention is the necessary quorum for the dissolution of the parliament. I must remind that the necessary number for eligibility of the vote (half of the voters in the last elections) is the same as was used in the 2003 referendum prior Latvian voters decided whether they want to become members of the EU."
MEP Roberts Zīle (TB/LNNK): "those amendments would not strengthen democracy and I will not participate. If we want to find a way out of the present situation that has been created by present MP`s, then such amendments will only weaken political institutions in the middle term, and we will not be able to pass serous decisions. Thus, we will do damage to our own political strength."
MP Juris Sokolovskis (PCTVL): "We are calling our voters to participate because the elite is alienated from voters in Latvia. Of course the free trade union proposed amendments are important, but even more important is the principle - the people can remind MP`s that the power belongs to the people (Art. 2 of Latvian constitution). Even if the quorum for having the result of referendum as valid would not be reached and only 30—40% voters would take part in the referendum still politicians will not be able to ignore the will of electors. "
Leader of the Reconciliation Party Nils Ušakovs (SC): "People must have their say. Of course I will go to referendum and we are agitating both in Latvian and Russian media. Those amendments are extremely important because they would finally enable voters to control their representatives. "
Former Minister of Foreign Affairs Artis Pabriks (Sabiedriba Citai politikai): "I will use my voice and will take part in both the August 2 and 23 referendums. I am convinced that participation in the plebiscite is mandatory for every citizen who lives in a democratic society. I think that I must use my voice, while there are folks who openly declare that they are not interested in politics, and thus they will not take part in referendum. I must unfortunately conclude that still their unused voice will be used by others. Finally, I have not heard any tangible argument why the proposed amendments would be bad."
P.S. My conclusion is simple - so called political elite in this country with rather few exceptions really think that their voters are stupid, and thus the politicians are locked into their imaginary power bubble.

The taste of Taiwanese pineapple paste (jam) is quite different from the Malaysian/Singaporean version as it is mainly made of winter melon and flavored with pineapple essence instead of the real pineapple fruit.
(You can get all Chinese New Year recipes here, including baking, cakes, savory and dessert recipes.)
For Chinese in Malaysia and Singapore, and those who live overseas, this time of year means one thing: baking time for the upcoming Lunar New Year.
As the year of Snake is just barely two weeks away, every household is busy prepping for the upcoming new year. Spring cleaning, shopping for Chinese New Year's foods and goodies for friends, families, and clients, buying new clothes and shoes, and most definitely, making batches of batches pineapple tarts, peanut cookies, kuih bangkit, and more.
Everywhere you go, you will see vendors, shops, hawkers selling their Chinese New Year cakes, and one of the most popular items is pineapple tarts.
On Rasa Malaysia, I have shared a couple of recipes here and here, but this year, I have decided to ask my contributor Ho Siew Loon to share a Taiwanese pineapple tarts/shortcakes recipe, which is no less tasty than the regular ones.
Personally, I prefer Taiwanese pineapple tarts/shortcakes, or 凤梨酥, which is a must-buy whenever I go to Taiwan, or Taiwanese-style bakeries.
They are rectangles or squares in shape, rich, crumbly, buttery, and filled with a decadent filling.
I just can't stop eating them, and they are especially great with tea.
This Chinese New Year, perhaps you can try making these Taiwanese pineapple tarts.
I am very sure you will love them.
And here is what Siew Loon has to say about perfecting her Taiwanese pineapple tarts/shortcakes recipe.
"I must say that I have been doing a lot of research and tried a lot of recipes on this little favorite snack.
I have just lost count on how many types of pineapple shortcakes I have eaten in order to come out with this recipe.
I shared some of my homemade ones with Bee and she loves them and thinks that I should share it with the readers of Rasa Malaysia.
The taste of Taiwanese pineapple paste (jam) is quite different from the Malaysian/Singaporean version as it is mainly made of winter melon and flavored with pineapple essence instead of the real pineapple fruit.
I hope you enjoy my Taiwanese pineapple tarts/shortcakes recipe! — Siew Loon"

After a long time coming, I have finally restocked my Etsy store with new I-spy charm packs. There are two versions. One set has 50 different 3.5″ I-spy squares.
The other version comes with 65 3.5″ squares as well as a PDF pattern to create a simple i-spy baby quilt. (I usually use an Essex linen-cotton blend for the off-set squares. Yardage details for borders, backing, etc. are in the pattern.)
Also a little bit of de-stash. After finishing the hoops in my daughter's bedroom, as well as making over a dozen quilts using those fabrics, I decided it was finally time cut up the remnants. I have kits of die-cut pennant triangles in the same colors to make your own bunting.
Thank you so much for visiting my shop and for taking some of this fabric off my hands. 🙂
I hope to have more de-stashing in the coming weeks.

The General Services Administration on Thursday released its updated governmentwide air travel contracts for 2015, touting prenegotiated discounts of 23 percent below corporate benchmark rates.
The City Pair program, which allows federal travelers flexibility in changing flights at no extra cost, is estimated to save the government $2.3 billion next year, GSA said. It also expanded its global reach by some 3,800 markets.
"By leveraging the government's buying power, we are able to help federal agencies reduce travel costs and save billions of taxpayer dollars," said Federal Acquisition Service Commissioner Tom Sharpe in a statement. He stressed GSA's "data-driven approach" that has helped reduce the average cost of domestic one-way flights by 4 percent and international flights by 1 percent, even as commercial flight costs overall have risen by 6 percent this year.
Also contributing to the savings is the expansion of markets offering dual fares—lower rates for choosing advance bookings—availability of which doubled to 88 percent of the markets, GSA reported.
Eight major air carriers won contracts with GSA, based on availability of non-stop service, number of flights, flight times and price. The new rates take effect Oct. 1. Click here for more information.
