Shaquille Oneal joins Lebron James

Fans from Cleveland are thrilled to have Shaquille Oneal to assist King Lebron James to win a championship next season. Cleveland traded Sasha Pavlovic, Ben Wallace and the 46th pick to Phoenix for Shaquille O'Neal.

Oneal, wearing jersey No. 33 next season, needs to step up otherwise it'll be a waste of money for the Cavaliers to pay him not to get a championship (or get to the Finals).

Will Shaq pledge to bring a championship to Cleveland? We'll see about that.

Her latest accessories line for men, Matina Sukhahuta of Matina Amanita launches "Warrior 'Til Death."

although not all old people end up in diapers, most of them turned to behave like children.

jade hunting in Hualien, Taiwan - 花蓮採玉

the stream where we hunt for jades

-

checking for jades
-
the jade found by our tour guide who gave it to us to make pendants for later on
-
we were brought to this small factory/workshop called Taiwan Jade. the father who was incharge of the workshop gave us a basic introduction of Taiwanese jade and showed us the procedure of making our own jade pendants. the jade was cut into a few simple shapes for us to grind and polish (while we were not professional to deal with other steps, his sons help us with some steps like cuting, drilling, etc)
-

further grinding

polishing
-

the pendants we made
-

these pieces were only polished and drilled
-

these are smaller pieces of raw jade that could not be shaped due to its size

before our new house was done, my brother requested a personalised book shelf from me. i drew the design based on typical shelves used in comic shops in taiwan. after the rough layout was done, i passed the design to the contractor to finish it off. the contractor did a great job and now my brother does not need to worry where he needs to store his mass collection of comics.
