Well about 2 weeks ago i checked Youtube for planeshift.

I did my weekly search, and something struck out...... I was number 1 on the search of planeshift.....
lol

Before i was like 6 or something, but for the past 2 weeks i've been stuck at one, and it makes me feel all my hard work is paying off really.
Thanks for everyone who supported Restound Hronzo productions.
We've got number 1 on youtube and Livevideo, lets keep it that way.

I'm pleased to announce i'm working on 2 vids currently, one for 1) Planeshift:
SNEAK PEAK


2) And one for Silkroad, which i haven't started yet.
I'm up to 8 subscribers which isn't much, but is better than nothing.

Thanks again for all your support

~~Datruth

My picks:



WEST

Forwards:

Kevin Garnett, and Dirk Nowitzki

The best Forwards in the Game, Hands down.
And Kevin Garnett, is my overall favorite player, if i could build a team around any player, it would be him.

Guards:

Tracy Mcgrady, Steve nash

I had to choose tracy, even though he hasn't been blowing up or anything, and been silent.
He's just an amazing player, and he makes his team soo good when he's on the floor.

But besides ALL that, he shoots like he's on fire nearly all the time.
In an All star game, He's CRUCIAL, when you just need those points.


Steve nash, 2 time MVP, one of the best passers in the history of our game, definetely deserves this.

Just watching him play shows you the level he goes to, to get his friends involved, the guy ran 2 circles around the court, to split the defense, and rather than laying it up, he passes to amare for the dunk.

What heart, what passion, what a team player, Nuff said.

Center:

Amare, his dominance can't be stopped, he's not yao, standing back and shooting, He'll take it to your face and dunk on you.
He's a Powerfull player, and now that he's back this season, he DESERVES to be on the all star team.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`

EAST

Forwards:

Rasheed wallace has been struggling this season, but he's still getting it done.
Detroit the team and franchise is a bit weaker this year but still a threat, and it's all because of this guy.

Watch his outside game, even if you can post him out, he spins and shoots, this guy is hard to defend.

Lebron, James

King james, argueably one of the best up and coming players. Want to know why the Cavaliers have the best record in the League?
Why? Because of him. He's doing it all himself, getting people involved, dunking, and shooting his brains out.
To not bring him on, would be a travesty.


Guards:

Gilbert Arenas... The guy finished off 2 GAMES, in a ROW, with a shot at the buzzer.
He shoots a really nice shot, and makes it go into the hoop as soft as butter.
This guy will really give Tracy a run for his money, He is ON FIRE. 2 Buzzer beaters, all alone, this man is deadly.

He probably won't make the All star game, because he's not as well known, But that doesn't mean he doesn't deserve it.
PLEASE everyone, I'm pleading with you, Let Arenas on the All star team.

Dwayne wade:

In my opinion, the Best guard in the game. He's a Steve nash/ Kobe Bryant. He gets his teammates involved when he needs to, but he also Shoots your lights out.
He doesn't focus on passing the ball, if he can get it in.

He has the deadliest spin in the game, Phil jackson himself saying Wade can get 20 feet, with his spin alone.

How do you stop this guy?

Only one way, Run him to death. Who can keep up with him? No clue, Nash could keep up, but nash couldn't defend him.
And tracy can Defend him, but he can't keep up.


Center

My second favorite player in Basketball, the most dominant center this game has ever seen, Shaq!!!

He's AMAZING, last year the Heat got to the finals thanks to Him and Wade.
Sure Wade had a WAY better playoff and Finals appearance, But they GOT TO THE PLAYOFF, BECAUSE OF SHAQ!
Case and point, without Shaq, the Heat can't get to the top, But if they can get to the Playoffs, Wade will give them that extra push to the top.

Does he deserve to be on the all star team?

!@#$@#$#@ Are you kidding me!!! DUH

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Who i didn't vote for, but will probably make it:

Yao ming, and Kobe bryant.

Yao is going to win and get in, even though he doesn't deserve it, because the NBA All star game voting is open to the WHOLE world.
Basically, China is gonna vote for him lol, or the majority of chinese basketball fans.

It'll be this way, REGARDLESS of performance, till Yao Retires.
Does yao deserve to be on the All star team? Maybe as a second string.... maybe.


Kobe, Does he deserve to be on the All star team? Yes
Is he one of the best players in the game? Yes

Then why didn't you vote for him? Well i don't like him, as a person or a player.

The lakers nearly lost their last game against Spurs because Kobe took the ball, and turned it over twice.
This was during the last 3 minutes of play.
He thought he could just go up, and make some points, he was wrong, and the Spurs rallied back.

The Lakers had a 10 Point Lead, broken down to 4, and they only won because Smush made a nice Three and they played some good defense.

Will kobe be in the all star game? Yes, because of his popularity.
But i'm not going to back him up, let others vote for him, I'll take Tracy Mcgrady over him.
And Steve nash WAS taken over as MVP twice, over him, so i'm not the only one who doesn't vote for kobe.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

By the way, Basketball is my favorite sport lol   as you can tell by now lol

I'll watch football, but i love basketball ten times more.
And baseball.... horrible to watch... horrible to discuss, again that's just me, but i hate baseball.

Football ----> Will start watching it more, now that we got some heat in L.A!!!

~~Datruth

Lots of crashes, i think the count is like 8 now.

I'm just curious, does anyone know what's going on?

~~Datruth

Here's the official link, i saw it on the news before i saw it on the internet.

This is a HUGE acquisition, we're getting, arguably, the best soccer player ever spawned.

The most recognizable athlete in the world, Beckham agreed to a five-year deal to play for the Galaxy, whose season opens April 8 in Houston. The deal to bring Beckham to America is thought to be the biggest in sporting history, with industry experts estimating the worth to the player in excess of $250 million.

Basically, he's getting paid, and paid well 

"David Beckham will have a greater impact on soccer in America than any athlete has ever had on a sport globally," said Timothy J. Leiweke, president & CEO, AEG. "We are acquiring an individual that will not only be the best ambassador and the best role model for athletes and fans of soccer but the best example of what any athlete can and should be. David is truly the only individual that can build the 'bridge' between soccer in America and the rest of the world," added Leiweke.

If you didn't like soccer before.. i warn you... soon you will.
The most popular teenage sport currently is Soccer, it has the highest number of players, surpassing every other sport.
Now Beckham wants to convince the adults and kids, that this sport, which the rest of the world CRAVES, is something to be revered.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Beckham is in Socal now, and i'll be looking to buy season tickets to the Galaxy games, Watch out world

I'm not an expert here...

I came with a plea to the forums, to ask a simple question.
What can, I, or anyone else, do here, to help?
And i mean really help, not just let our concerns be shared, which is simple... but help.


I want to accomplish something in this thread, besides talking.
Basically i have 3 goals.

1) Education
I want to eduacte myself more about the problem.
I want to know who to talk to and how to make a difference.
What exactly is the problem... and who is instigating it?
Is there a group, or person, who may be able to stop this now?

2) Support:
I want to support them in some way.
Whether that be monetary, spirtually, or maybe through letters.
Speaking of letters... who might we send one to?
Could the people recieve it?
What about the president of sudan?
Can we send any other type of support?

3) Recruit:
See if i can get anyone, to help me, along the way.
It doesn't have to be anyone here, it could be in RL, or maybe a senator.
Maybe my representative can help.
But find some other people to walk with me, through this. It's a big task, one person alone isn't enough, we need more.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So first things first.... knowledge, I should share what i have thus far, i hope you all share your info as well.

The website to coordinate our energy:
http://www.savedarfur.org/content

Here is a nice read, about the conflict.. please, if you do nothing else, read this:
http://www.savedarfur.org/pages/background

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Know your enemies:

The sudanese government itself, and the Janjaweed militias. An alliance that has caused most of the destruction of the civilians.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Support:

All i found and thought of was finding a support group, near your area, if you are in the U.S.

Suprisingly, my small city did have one, maybe i'll find that person and help organize an event.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Final thoughts:

“400,000 dead, 2.5 million displaced, 10,000 dying every month”
The latest UN estimates say that between 10 and 15 thousand people are dying every month. 

“Every few months we are driven away from one refugee camp to the other, so far in the desert where nothing, nothing at all exists. This is no way for a human being to live. No way to live in such a shocking place – uncultivated, waterless, treeless and barren region...! Everything is burning, Lord, around me, around us ... in me, in us ... Everything is barren, hell, hell...!” ~~ A darfarian women

Fertile land continues to decrease as desertification (growth of the Sahara Desert) becomes more of a problem.  Tensions between nomadic Arab tribes and African farming communities began, in part, because of the scarcity of usable land. 

As a response to the long-standing abuse from the government, rebels in Darfur rose in opposition to the government, attacking a government installation.  President Al-Bashir responded by giving governmental support and money to Islamic militias, also known as the Janjaweed – or ‘Devils on Horseback’ in Arabic – to combat the rebels and civilians in Darfur instead of sending the military to intervene.
These militias have been accused of ethnic cleansing by systematically eliminating entire communities.  Government air strikes frequently precede the militias’ vicious raids. Villages are razed; women, men, and children are raped, tortured, and murdered. The Janjaweed also target and destroy Darfurian food and water supplies, threatening the victims' hopes for their future survival.

The Janjaweed militias steal cattle, destroy wells, and pursue a scorched-earth policy, where crops and buildings are destroyed.  (UNICEF and the New York Times, 2005).

Civilians who have survived village destruction have fled to camps lacking adequate food, shelter, sanitation, and health care in Darfur and across the border in neighboring Chad.  Hundreds of thousands of Darfurians are at risk of starvation and disease.

“Every day, women are sent outside the IDP camps to seek firewood and water, despite the constant risk of rape at the hands of the Janjaweed. Should men be available to venture out of the camps, they risk castration and murder. So families decide that rape is the lesser evil. It is a crime that families even have to make such a choice. Often women are sexually assaulted within the supposed safety of the IDP camps. Nowhere is really safe.” – Brian Steidle, former AU advisor

80% of the children under five years old are suffering from severe malnutrition. Seventy percent of the deaths in the camps are children under five.

Children, as well as young women, are abducted by Janjaweed, often with the complicity of Sudanese troops.  Women are often forced into sexual slavery, and young boys are made to watch over stolen livestock.  (Amnesty, Save the Children).

Currently, the only security on the ground is an undermanned African Union (AU) force that cannot protect civilians or aid workers.  Currently, the AU lacks adequate numbers of personnel and has limited logistical capacity.  Currently, the AU’s mandate is to monitor the failed ceasefire in Darfur, not to protect civilians. Therefore, to be effective, the AU will need a stronger civilian protection mandate, a major increase in the number of troops on the ground, and a much larger logistical and monetary contribution from the UN, the EU, and NATO.

Despite some action on behalf of the world community, more action is needed.  Ten thousand people are still dying every month, and if nothing is done, two million people could perish.  We need to act if we want this crisis to end.

Look beyond the headlines, understand that a genocide is occurring right now, look for how we can support a solution – and ways in which we may be contributing to the problem. 
These people need our help. As humans, we owe them our support and prayers. As Americans we owe them our courage and experience. We must do something to help those who suffer, and this time we can.

~~~~All quotes taken from the Save Darfur Powerpoint presentation, a must download.

Arm yourself with knowledge.... post a response on how we can help... actually help guys, don't b.s me.... and recruit each other to the side of the innocent civilians.

Thank you for your time, as always.

It's official, and on Monday you can buy a copy of Time Magazine to read the article behind it.

It has the youtube background for vids, pause button, full screen, all that, but instead of a video, there is a foil like box in the center, with the youtube frame around it.

At the top it says Times person of the year 2006
And at the bottom it states plainly, You.

Youtube has changed the information age, and allows user generated content.
It's search functions Rival Google and it's power is seen with the demise of a senator for his meckack remark.

Steve and Chad, have revolutionized the world. Entertainement on a new level.
The power is in your hands.

I'm glad to say I was on the Youtube Bandwagon, Wayyy before it was ever popular.
I hope now you will all join me.

Sincerely,

Yep, it's all in the Topic, so if i don't send you a message, i'm sorry

Hope this hasn't happened to anyone else.
