How-To Geek
Use Your Mac Mini as a Media Server Part 2
In the first part, I ran through the basics on how to connect and configure your Mac Mini as the heart of your entertainment center. In this next article in the series, I had been planning on going into detail on how to store your media files on a remote NFS share. However, one of the comments on the first article got my attention and it occurred to me that I didn't really cover alternate video codecs at all. So, rather than launch into some fascinating list of iptables rules and Apple alias quirks, let's look at third-party codecs.
Out of the box, QuickTime (the backend for FrontRow's movie playing capabilities) only supports a few video formats. I'm not going to try to list them here, but the really big and common ones are H.264 and MPEG-4. However, a lot of video files are still encoded using DivX or Xvid. Also, if you're extremely unlucky you may have a few old WMV-encoded files which you would like to play. You could just re-encode all of these files H.264 using a tool like FFmpegX. But it would be so much more convenient if you could simply play arbitrary video files in FrontRow. The solution is to run through and install the third-party codecs required to make all of this work.
Now the easiest solution (by far) is to just install the Perian codec. Perian is (self-described as) the Swiss Army knife of codecs. With Perian installed, you should be able to play everything from DivX/AC3 to FLV to VBR/MP3. It even handles playback of WMV files. Perian is open-source and can be downloaded here. A full list of the encodings supported by Perian is available at this page.
To install Perian, first download and mount the DMG. Then drag the LEGO brick file named "Perian.component" to the alias labeled "QuickTime". Log out, then log back in and Perian should be installed. (if you get confused somewhere in those instructions, you can peruse the extensive, one and a half page README included in the DMG).
Perian is quite nice because everything "just works" right out of the box (or brick, in this case). The problem is that Perian provides somewhat sub-par quality compared to getting the codecs direct from the source. I experienced problems in frames with high motion. The motion appeared as if it was encoded progressive (with the actual "objects" on screen broken into horizontal lines), when the files had actually been deinterlaced in the encoding process. I didn't have these problems with the same file and the actual third-party codecs. So, as nice as just using Perian would be, quality lovers will have to forego the convenience. (note, if you installed Perian at this point and now have decided not to use it, you must navigate to the /Library/QuickTime and remove the Perian.component file, otherwise replacement codecs will be screwed up)
Third-Party Codecs
More and more high-dev encoders are moving to H.264, because of its superior quality and compression ratio, but a lot of things are still on the proprietary codec, DivX. To gain QuickTime support (and hence, FrontRow) for DivX, we must download the DivX free codec from here. This is one of those unusual Mac applications which requires a stern bout with an installer, a license agreement, and a System Preferences add-on. When it's finished, you will have to restart and it should have completed the installation for you (no drag-and-drop necessary). As you may have guessed from the site, you only received a trial version of the pro codec. This means that you won't be able to encode DivX content after six months. However, the decoder should still work and this will allow you to play DivX files from within QuickTime more or less indefinitely.
Xvid in QuickTime is a little less ostentatiously supported than the DivX codec, however, it's probably a little easier to deal with. First, download the Xdiv DMG from this link. Just like with Perian, you will have to mount the DMG and then do a little leg-work to make things happen. Open up "Macintosh HD" (or whatever you call your hard drive icon thingy on the desktop) and then open /Library/QuickTime. In there, you should see a few other .component "brick icons" which represent the other codecs you have installed. Drag the Xvid_Codec_….component file (again LEGO brick icon) into the QuickTime folder along with the other codec components. Log out, and then log back in and you should be able to play Xvid files in FrontRow.
WMV support is a bit painful, but not as painful as trying to get DivX working for the first time. The WMV codec is completely proprietary, but thankfully there is an implementation of the codec for QuickTime called "Flip4Mac". It's available at this page. Just like DivX, you'll have to run an installer and will need to restart once it is completed. Also like DivX, Flip4Mac will install a (somewhat useless) System Preference page. However, once the installation is complete, you'll be able to play those dreaded WMV files in QuickTime and FrontRow.
Some video files (usually Xvid) are encoded with AC3 audio streams. While it's always fun to try and perform dialog and sound effects by yourself (or even better, with a group), it's usually more satisfying to actually hear the sound-track recorded for the movie.
The codec for AC3 in QuickTime is available for download here and must be installed similarly to Xvid (by dragging the .component file to /Library/QuickTime and then logging out and logging back in). However, there are some unfortunate side-effects you should be aware of before you perform this step. Most importantly, it seems to break H.264 support in QuickTime. This is a killer for me, since I love watching H.264 encoded videos because of the higher quality. I would recommend that if you don't absolutely need AC3 audio support, you leave this codec out and enjoy the perks of your H.264 files.
Hopefully, you should be able to use the information in this article to beef up the video playback support of your Mac Mini and improve your overall FrontRow experience. Stay tuned for part three, when we'll finally get to all the boring NFS configuration and iptables hacks!

Could you please attempt to quantify the problems you're having with Perian and A52Codec and actually tell the devs about them? Preferably with sample files? I personally have never once experienced either problem you describe, nor heard of anyone else having those problems.
You mention in this article that in Part 3 you'll configure NFS. I'm assuming this is for the movie store you've got elsewhere. I simply used the GUI driven Go to Server… tool to connect to a remote SMB drive share (windows box/SMB file server device) and then created a symlink to the Movies repository.
To create the symlink, open the Terminal, cd to 'Movies' in your home dir, and simply link the mounted file system repository e.g. ln -s /Volumes/VideoShare/MovieFiles .
And then you're done :-) Of course NFS works, but hey so does this if you don't have an NFS server ;-)
Thank you very much on this very helpfull how-to! I am walking my first steps in this fascinating world of Macintosh and this is really helping me out. So much to catch up after all these years of Windows…
Thanks for some good articles!
Im currently considering a MacMini as a media/surf computer connected to my flatscreen tv. It has DVI in so I guess you can just hokk the Mini up to the tv directly ?
Right, and by plugging in using the DVI you'll probably get significantly better quality than I'm able to… :-)
A Mini hooked up to a flat panel is exactly what I have a Sharp 37D90 to be exact into the DVI. Works great and since it is essentially a laptop it doesn't choke with the heat like a desktop does sitting in an entertainment unit. Grab a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard and you are good to go. FYI if you Bootcamp XP onto it you can run 1080P WMV videos smoothly! Can't do it in Parallels :( too slow.
Im planning to use a mac mini as a media central beacuse I found the software Remote Buddy, which makes it possible to control os x with the apple remote (or a wii-remote or a cellphone). Together with VLC this is actually all you need. Of course you need to set up the system using a mouse and a keyboard, but thats really all you need. I tried the software on my macbook, and so far I cant find anything to complain about. Just a tip! I havent read the whole article, but I think what I have written is pretty much what the author of the article is aiming for, right?
Thanks for this. Will be looking forward to part 3 and other great articles like this in the future.
I heard that mac mini will be discontinued. is that true ?
The A52codec breaking H.264?!?! I use H.264 all the time with AC3 audio and never once had an issue. Can you provide a sample of a file that exhibits this problem. The only problem I have ever heard close to what you describe is where a file with AC3 audio had blinking white lines in DivX video. This turned out to be a bug in DivX's decoder, not the A52Codec.
tnx for sharing
I bought my Mini about a year ago and have been using it as my media center. My p.o.s. JVC LCD TV has DVI-in but won't recognize anything I plug in, so my video is less than optimal. One "enhancement" I would appreciate would be the ability to jump directly to the media I want to play, preferably in repsonse to an IR command. I use a Harnony 880 universal remote, which allows me to set up "activities" like; watch a movie, listen to iTunes, view photos. Problem is, I still have to navigate through the mac's Front Row menus to get to the media I want.
Would love to hear any tips about how to pull that off.
Yeah, I know it's kind of hard to believe, but I've tested that one extensively. I have a file encoded H264/MP3 and it works perfectly without the A52Codec. If I install the codec, it either never plays (QuickTime ponders it forever), or it gets stuck on a green, distorted splash and plays the sound behind it (not changing the image at all). Just another case of strange but true…
has anyone tried equinux media central? i have heard good things and i think it handles vobs, xvid, divx, the works.
@Mr Linux
Yes, hard to believe. Even more difficult to believe considering the fact that the code for the A52Codec will not even be loaded in your case (MP3 audio).
I (and Yuvi too) had asked for samples, otherwise no one can help you. I also mentioned that I have previously caught bugs in DivX's decoder, did you try it without that?
iNuron just a launched a server app. that makes it easy to organise, search and share all your media files on a Mac over LAN or internet
works for me,
McNucle? That's just the strangest name for a product….
ummm… just to clarify, is there a reason we're bothering with QuickTime codecs instead of just using VLC out of the box? i think it may be possible to configure front row to use VLC instead of quicktime (possibly)
Yes, it is possible to use VLC instead of QuickTime, but it requires a third-party application which (unfortunately) costs money. I decided not to go this route for two reasons:
1. I'm cheap :-)
2. HowTo Geek usually tries not to promote commercial software unless it's either the absolute best (like vmware) or only way to get things done
In other words, you could do this yourself using the software, but it's not something I would/could write about.
Been using an intel mac mini for 8 months and absolutely love it! This article on codecs was excellent! With Joost (iptv) on my mac, Handbrake and MacTheRipper (dvd to movie file on hard drive), Transmission (torrent client) and TVShows (torrent locator for tv shows) – I'm almost ready to cut the cable company off. It is a beautiful way to be.
People come over to see my SIMPLE setup and are awestruck. It (mac mini) is soo small and quiet. When I show people my mac mini with the 500gig hard drive under it for media storage they just marvel at it's ease of use. I'm a very happy "switcher"
Thank you very much for sharing.
As I'm still struggling to share content over the airport network, I look forward to part three. For the moment I'm grateful for Andrew's comment (of April 26). Following his pointer I am finally able to stream avi's to my AppleTV enabled Mac Mini.
Part 3! Part 3! Part 3!
Thanks for the great content.
When will we get Part 3??
"…In this next article in the series, I had been planning on going into detail on how to store your media files on a remote NFS share…."
When will Part 3 be available? This is the missing link for me – getting access to video content on an external ethernet NAS drive.
Looking for part 3…
Longing for part 3….. as a all-time-windows-user I'm thrilled finally using the great MacMini, but struggling to get it working correctly with my 500gb NAS-drive that is part of my home-network and sharing lots of videos (also with Bonjour) for, well… nobody at the moment…
Seems like Apple TV is geting capabilities that are not available on the mini … specifically menu access to youtube videos and HD movie rentals. Any word on when / whether this stuff is coming to Front Row ?
Great write up. What is also helpful is "Remote Buddy". You can control just about everything with your apple remote.
Yes, could somebody please politely point me to where part 3 is? I got the codecs and so forth working for this far, but sadly all my media is stored on another computer which is running XP. I am on the correct workgroup so I can navigate to the files, but how do I get Front Row to see and be able to play them? I am not keen on having to shunt everything through iTunes, is there another way?
With Leopard, Front Row can see DVD rips stored on a network drive. Just put an alias in the "movies" folder

"We used this for the birth announcement of our sweet girl. They came out beautifully. I usually am a big fan of the pearl paper but I do feel that in this case it took away from the overall look."
"The card design was perfect. Everyone we sent cards to raved about it. The paper quality was great and the price was fantastic."
"The cards I ordered came quicker than expected and were wonderful quality. Tinyprints was the only company I could find that had Holiday Cards that were also Birth Announcements."
"We were looking for a combo birth announcement/Christmas card and this was perfect for our needs. I loved so many of the options available at this website, yet this was our favorite for our precious little girl. I really liked the paper quality for the professional pictures we used on the card. As well it looks very professional overall instead of a glossy picture card, which can look a little cheap. Everyone has commented how great the pics are, which means the pics are showcased well. That's what we wanted. Also like the feature of this card that it has print and picture options on the back. I will be coming back to shop on this site again for our family cards!"

The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court has thrown out the alleged confession of Anthony Baye, a Northampton man who admitted to setting a series of fires in the city in late 2009. One of the fires resulted in the death of two Northampton residents.
The court ruled Monday state troopers used a number of problematic tactics and made "misrepresentations" to Baye while interrogating him about the fires, including minimizing his crimes and assuring him he would get leniency if he admitted to setting the fires. David Hoose, one of Baye's attorneys, says he's pleased with the decision and that the state's prosecutors have lost a key piece of evidence.
"So without those statements, the commonwealth has a very circumstantial case."
Northwestern District Attorney David Sullivan said in a statement that he is disappointed with the ruling, but, "there is sufficient evidence, apart from the suppressed confessions, to continue with the prosecution."
The court's ruling cites two instances where state troopers ignored Baye's request for council, violating his constitutional rights. Northampton attorney Don Frank says he thinks the court made the right decision in throwing out Baye's confession.
"In this case, the court was quite comfortable finding that this did not pass constitutional muster, and under these circumstances, the government can't use this. It's the difference between a great society and a totalitarian society. So, bad for the case, good for democracy."
The district attorney's office says it will work with the court and defense attorneys to set a trial date as soon as possible.

Re: mem_simple_form
Upgrading to the latest versions of mem_form and mem_simple_form resolved all the problems I was experiencing earlier. Thank you!
Q: How can I get comments to be on by default for articles submitted through
simple_form? Comments are allowed by default in my admin prefs. Is there a field in the textpattern table I can target for this?
A: Annotate=1
I added
Annotate="1" like so:
<txp:mem_simple_form table="textpattern" id_field="ID" id_insert="0" Annotate="1"> No errors. The article posts perfectly, but commenting remains closed.
What did I do wrong? What is the correct path? I'm thankful for your help!
#22 2009-03-09 19:24:06
Re: mem_simple_form
I've probably posted enough questions here to give Mr. Manfre brain cancer. So I'll post a solution.
The correct way to enable comments on articles submitted to the
textpattern table by mem_simple_form is this:
<txp:mem_form_secret name="int_Annotate" value="1" />

Re: mem_simple_form
I'm trying to create a two-step form using the success-form attribute:
- New category: Create a new category.
- Step-2: Add a new article to the same category, with the category-name preselected using a
- Step-3: Success.
I'm almost there:
- I've succeeded in getting mem_simple_form to create a new category— even though I have no idea how to generate Textpattern-like category names from the titles, or how to rebuild the category tree to put stuff in the right order. Right now I'm using mem_simple_form's
randuidattribute to generate information in the
lft, and
rgtfields. I've verified that this form posts to the database, and the new category is recognized and operational in Textpattern.
- The "new category" form includes a success form attribute:
success_form="step-2". This form includes another mem_simple_form to add an article to the new category. I'm using
mem_form_secretin tandem with
mem_simple_psto inlcude the previous form's input as a category. I tested it in a hidden field and I can verify that the information form the previous form is successfully transfered to the appropriate field using
- The "step-2" form includes a success form attribute:
success_form="step-3". This would be the form that says "You're finished— article posted!" —but that's where the idea fails. When "step-2" is submitted, the I never get to see my beautiful "step-3" success form; it just back to the "new category" form above. It also fails to post the article. But it doesn't throw up any errors.
Any ideas how I could fix this? Am I straining beyond the capability of this plugin? If so, is there some other method I could use to get this working?

Do all of the steps use the same url? If so, that might explain why the first step is being loaded instead of your third step.

Yes— Step one is at example.dev/section/
When I click submit, the success-form with Step-2 loads, appending a string to the url like so:
When I click submit on Step-2, a new string appears, but no success-form:
If so, that might explain why the first step is being loaded instead of your third step.
Is there a way to make the success-form load at a different url? If so, that would probably solve the problem.

No, i'm just trying to get a handle of how you are using the forms. You should have each form set a hidden field that identifies which form should be rendered. Each form should be guarded by a conditional tag that checks for the appropriate hidden field to prevent the other 2 from loading.

<txp:mem_form_secret name="string_title" value='<txp:mem_simple_ps name="string_title" />' />

<legend>About <txp:mem_simple_ps name="string_title" /></legend>
<txp:mem_form_select name="string_custom_13" label="Some Metadata" items="option 1,option 2,option 3" values="option1,option2,option3" />
<txp:mem_form_submit />
Step 3
As I said, Step 2 loads successfully upon submitting Step 1, and the simple_ps data is successfully transfered from the user input of Step 1 into Step 2. But when I submit Step 2, nothing happens in the system— I don't get a new article, and Step 3 doesn't appear. Instead, I see Step 1 again.
I have tried wrapping the Confirmation header in Step 3 with
<txp:mem_simple_if_ps> and
<txp:mem_simple_if_ps name="string_title">, but the behavior is the same.
I can see setting a
txp:variable with a hidden field and checking the value before rendering the forms, but it seems like the primary issue is that no data goes into the
textpattern table when submitting Step 2; since it's not a success, the success form indicated doesn't render. Step 2 renders correctly, but it does not send anything to the database.
Maybe I'm wrong. Will this plugin let me submit input from a form rendered as the success_form of previous input? If so, where is the flaw in my markup?
Thank you again for your magnificent support!

Any ideas on this?

Re: mem_simple_form
Okay, I've simplified my code significantly, and I think this may help to isolate the problem. this is my form, with comments:
Check if data from STEP 2 was posted.
<txp:mem_simple_if_ps name="string_custom_13">
We have data from STEP 2.

Here is your data from STEP 2: <txp:mem_simple_ps name="string_custom_13" />

<txp:else />
We have NO data from STEP 2.
Render STEP 1: Category Input form.
<txp:mem_simple_form table="txp_category" id_field="id" id_insert="0" success_form="_category-confirm">
This form adds an entry to the txp_category table
as specified above.

STEP 1: Category Input form

<txp:mem_form_secret name="string_type" value="article" />
<fieldset id="add-category-info">
<legend>Add a Category</legend>
<txp:mem_form_text name="string_title" label="Category" />
<txp:mem_form_secret name="randuid_name" />
<txp:mem_form_secret name="randuid_lft" />
<txp:mem_form_secret name="randuid_rgt" />
These fields are required to successfully post a
category. This method is passing random unique
strings into these fields.
There must be a cleaner way to generate lft and
rgt and category name, but I will post a new
thread for these questions.
<txp:mem_form_secret name="string_parent" value="root" />
<txp:mem_form_submit label="Next" />
Check if data from STEP 1 was posted.
<txp:mem_simple_if_ps name="randuid_name">
We have data from STEP 1.
Render STEP 2: Article Input form.
<txp:mem_simple_form table="textpattern" id_field="ID" id_insert="0" success_form="_record-confirm">
This form adds an entry to the textpattern table
as specified above.

STEP 2: Article Input form

<txp:mem_form_secret name="int_Annotate" value="1" label="Comments On" />
<txp:mem_form_secret name="string_section" value="category-info" label="Section" />
<txp:mem_form_secret name="string_category1" value='<txp:mem_simple_ps name="randuid_name" />' label="Category" />
We want to categorize this article under the
category created in STEP 1.
Here, we pass the category name into a hidden
category field.
<txp:mem_form_secret name="string_title" value='<txp:mem_simple_ps name="string_title" />' />
The article will have the same title as the
<txp:mem_form_secret name="now_posted" value="" />
<txp:mem_form_secret name="string_AuthorID" value='<txp:ign_user_info type="name" />' label="Author" />
Enter the author name from the current ign_user.
About <txp:mem_simple_ps name="string_title" />
<txp:mem_form_select name="string_custom_13" label="Select something" items="option 1, option 2, option 3" values="option 1, option 2, option 3" />
<txp:mem_form_submit />
I'm no longer loading STEP 2 in the success_form of STEP 1.

Re: mem_simple_form
Here are the results.
- When I load the page in my browser, I immediately see the input form for STEP 1, since it doesn't see any data from STEP 2.
- After I complete STEP 1 and click submit, STEP 1's success_form renders, AND I see the input form for STEP 2. The form seems to correctly load all the information it needs that was submitted in STEP 1.
- When the second form submits, I see *Here is your data from STEP 2: option x*— which shows that textpattern recognizes data was submitted from STEP 2.
- However, STEP 2's success_form does NOT render, and NO RECORD is added to the textpattern table. There is also no error message from mem_simple_form.
Can anyone see where I've made a mistake in my markup, logic, or anywhere else?
I'd love to hear any guidance, support, suggestions, or feedback. Please let me know what you think.

One other thing I was thinking of was that maybe the Zanmaker sent Ichigo to someone related to Ichigo in the Soul Palace. It could happen.
Yeah that seems plausible.Back to the Soul King. I'll theorize that one reason he left SS is because he could not agree with Shinigami wanting to monopolize SS. Obviously the Soul King isn't a mere Shinigami. Perhaps the reason he wants to meet Ichigo is that Ichigo is the closest being to what the Soul King is, Something/someone that contains elements of all the sentient life forms in existence.

|In response to Re: tiolet wont flush
: we had our bathroom remodeled and a briggs 1.6 toilet installed (not sure on model #). the problem is that it doesnt save us any water because it rarely flushes properly on the first flush. it takes 2-3 flushes usually. we had the first toilet replaced because it had a crack in the bowl. the replacement was a similar briggs model and it does the same thing. im fed up with this problem. is there a fix for this problem or is it a defective toilet? what would be a good replacement? thanks

By Lorna JensenElmo
The people of Emery County should take a moment to state how much they appreciate all the men and women that took their time to coach little league this season. These people are of an exceptional breed. Kisty Childs and Kris Bell are mothers that work full time and yet find time to help these boys and girls.
The Cleveland/Elmo parents should take more than a moment to express appreciation to Bodee Allred for the many hours he spent teaching and encouraging all the players. He did not single out just a few but worked with each and every boy to start building athletic ability and character. Their win record was anything but impressive unless you look at the winning theses boys did within themselves.
A little league final tournament record will be remembered by a few for a few years. The lessons he taught and the character he built in them through the experience he gave them will help shape the rest of their lives. He is truly the impressive type of person with dynamic ability and leadership skills that can be a positive influence at a time in the lives of these boys when they are so impressed by role models. Cleveland and Elmo are very lucky to have such a coach.

For the next few weeks, the DMC Social Media Team is presenting a special video series on YouTube about the scholarship receipients from this year's recent DMC Rehabilitation Institute of Michigan (RIM)/Mike Utley Golf Outing event, who are each receiving one month of aggressive therapy at RIM/Mike Utley Center for Human Performance for their spinal-cord related injuries. Mike Utley, a former Detroit Lion, was paralyzed in a NFL game in 1991 and had since started the Mike Utley Foundation to help others with spinal-cord injuries.
Every Wednesday - Friday, we will be featuring a "video diary" entry from each of the three scholars (pictured above from left-to-right: Leighton, Emily, Mathew) during their week of physical rehabilitation over at RIM from August through September. Mike Utley, a former Detroit Lion, was paralyzed in a NFL game in 1991 and had since started the Mike Utley Foundation to help others with spinal-cord injuries.
Please click below to view Leighton's "Week 1" video diary entry (or click this link here to watch).
Leighton Lillie was injured on Feb 7, 2009, while racing as a professional motorcycle racer in Tulsa, OK. Leighton had been a professional racer for 8 years when the injury occurred. He was diagnosed as a T6-T7 ASIA A para. Leighton began racing motorcycles at the age of five and rose to the top of his field prior to his accident. Today Leighton is classified as a T8 injury ASIA B. He recently spent 5 months in Redmond, WA at Pusing Boundaries before returning to his hometown of Lewiston, ID, where he continues rehabing with a trainer at Golds Gym. Leighton plans to apply his strong work ethic to his goal of walking again. Leighton has great support from the small town where he gret up as the community had been following his racing career and now are following his recovery.
Please click below to view Emily's "Week 1" video diary entry (or click this link here to watch).
Emily as on a weekend trip with her brother, cousins and friends floating down the Illinois River near Tahlequah, OK, when midway down the course she dove from a tree overhanding the river. Emily had inspected the area, but it turned out to be much more shallow than expected, and she hit the bottom of the riverbed crushing her C5 Vertebrae. After hearing about RIM's Center for Spinal Cord Injury Recovery (CSCIR) from a friend at the therapy center in Houston, TX, where she was receiving OP therapy, Emily spent two month in the Summer of 2008 and the Summer of 2009 at CSCIR in Detroit. Emily resides in Bucklin, KS, where she works full time at a John Deere Dealership in the bookkeeping department. Emily would like to go back to school and obtain her MBA. Emily ultimately hopes to be able to live on her own and one day marry and have a family.
Please click below to view Mathew's "Week 1" video diary entry (or click this link here to watch).
Mathew was alone on a vacation in Cancun when, while standing hip deep in the ocean, a wave drove him headfirst into the sand. Mathew was then pulled back out in the ocean where he nearly drowned. A nurse from Livonia, MI saw what happened and rescued him from the water. Mathew was then Med-Evacted from Mexico to Florida. He was diagnosed as C-6 Incomplete. Before his accident, Mathew was a General Manager of a Country Club in Michigan. He had previously worked as a Chef in a number of Detroit Area Restaurants. He also was very physically fit and had been training to run a marathon. Mathew had been at the peak of his career with a job he loved when his life was flipped upside down. He now is working at buildling his strength back and is surrounded by a strong support team while he pursues his dream of walking again. Mathew has volunteered to teach a cooking class at RIM for patients in wheelchairs. He has returned to hunting with a cross bow, bowling and of course cooking.

Skip to comments.Democrats wait for tragedy to enact weapon legislation
Posted on 05/29/2009 9:59:05 PM PDT by Danae
Americas 1st Freedom June 2009 Magazine has called the Democrats onto the carpet.
And it isnt pretty.
Marshall Lewin in an article titled:Showing their True Colors, lays it all on the line. In his article he describes a ruthless calculation, Democrat leaders in the White House and in Congress are waiting for people to die. Thats right. They are waiting until there is some national level tragedy, the loss of life involving firearms, to introduce and then pass legislation banning guns.
(Excerpt) Read more at examiner.com ...
I expect them to create a situation when they are ready.
Sure they will try this.
They will sacrifice human life for their own gain.
Many will fall for the ruse.
Many of us will see through it.
They will be opposed!
They are evil bastards.
But what about the 2nd amendment? And the case last year in which the Supreme Court said explicitly that we have a right as individuals to own guns?
I thought also, that's why the various gun control laws deal with licensing and registration and trigger locks and such. Because I thought they want to make us jump through hoops to comply with various gun laws without actually banning them.
what happens when the incident they are waiting for turns out to be a domestic terrorist attack where the terrorists end up getting their arses blown off by gun wielding citizens?
This logic has always escaped me. What on earth does a microscopic percentage of people committing an extraordinarily rare crime have anything whatever to do with the criminalization and seizure of the guns of sixty million law abiding citizens? The very scale of this fraud is utterly insane.
That's how the Nazis gained power so fast. They used political skill and the media they controlled to take advantage of each and every national crisis and tragedy.
I doubt if they're "waiting". If you have absolutely no morals, why leave it to chance if you can produce your own tragedy tailor made for your evil purposes?
I want to be the first in line for that duck shoot!
Oh but that would be "Bad" press.
Only if people found out. And even if it started to look suspicious you know you'd never hear a peep on the alphabet networks.
Of of course not, it will all be about how they have to "GET THOSE GUNS" off the streets.
Life imitating art?
We need to invoke secession before the country falls into social collapse
> "If I could have gotten 51 votes in the Senate of the United States for an outright ban, picking up every one of them Mr. and Mrs. America, turn em all in, I would have done it."
LOL - You might get the votes, but who would enforce it? How many Federal Officers would turn in their badges rather than get shot doing something illegal and, honestly, stupid? And who would keep the armed forces, who are sworn to uphold the Constitution, from engaging the traitors, who just voted so blatantly against it, in [violent] military action?
Like Create a crisis so they can do things that wouldn't normally be accomplished?
Of course they are waiting. But why enact legislation when the prez can just declare martial law and accomplish a roundup without congressional authorization?
"I expect them to create a situation when they are ready."
It will be one of those "opportunities" for ballerina Rahm.
It is typical totalitarian - control freak behavior, someone messes their pants and everyone has to wear diapers.
Except these people have a broader agenda.
My prediction:
By this time next year it will be much more difficult for the average citizen to obtain a gun—if they are not banned outright for all but police and government—inactive military will be banned as well.
Remember, the "it [US Constitution] doesn't say what the federal government or the state government must do on your behalf".
These are not your run-of-the-mill liberals. These are communists.
This is but the quiet before the storm.
They WILL NOT wait for the people to vote away their power in 2010—it ain't happening that way, folks.
The difference this time is that millions more citizens own semi-auto rifles and millions more citizens have concealed carry permits now as compared to, say, 1994. Even amongst the Out Door Life crowd in the early 1990's it was only the nut cases who had AR-15's, whereas now they are seen as bona fide varmint rifles that have gone main stream (heck, even Remington makes one now). Throw in the Heller decision, and things get interested.
There are also democratic legislators who saw a good number of their comrades booted out of office in 1994 too, and would rather not play that game anymore.
If Obamzo the clown reads "these guns belong on foreign battle fields" off his teleprompter one more time, someone ought to ask if his secret service detail is on a foreign battle field. If disarmament is such a dandy thing then why should the federal government pester private individuals when the federal government could disarm itself with the stroke of a pen?
They aint gonna do shit.
I heard the same BS for years when Clintoon was in office...black helecopters...un takeovers....bleh...
They can pass any damn laws they want...They will still have to come and get them...
Molon labe!
Since when has there been logic in politics? It has nothing to do with logic.
The government and their propaganda will promote the idea that guns kill people. And the government will make the promise of security in exchange for freedom. Benjamin Franklin saw this trick used time and time again back in his day. And he's known for the famous quote to warn future society of it.
They want a total ban, but are willing to take a little bit at a time. We've given them too much already. You can go to prison for having a pocket knife in the UK, they would like to see that here.
I've already had this argument with select FReepers at least ten times.
YOU ain't gonna do s*** if they ban them.
What, are gonna try to resist them? Are you going to aim your gun at a sheriff's deputy/police officer/national guardsman?
You're a daisy if you do.
As soon as most gun owners see the government actually kill a few people on CNN/FoxNews it will be over.
These aren't liberals. They will create a scenario to shift the paradigm.
Wait and see.
Yes they would. Never gonna happen though. If nothing else I will start sharpening my butter knives, they are rather well balanced now that I think about it.........
I can promise that when they try, there will be many more dead.
"The government and their propaganda will promote the idea that guns kill people. And the government will make the promise of security in exchange for freedom. Benjamin Franklin saw this trick used time and time again back in his day. And hes known for the famous quote to warn future society of it."
And then what?
pass a law?
declare martial law?
who's gonna enforce it?
I heard this same exaclt crap from the truthers fro the last 7.5 years....
oh...there gonna round us up and put us in camps....
Bleh....you think you going to find enough people to put 85 million people anywhere 85 million people dont want to be?
They gonna carpet bomb half the country?
And who's gonna follow those orders....
and who isnt gonna follow those orders?
It took our entire combined armed forces a couple years to quesll the country the size of Ohio with 5000 assholes running around with AK's and IED's....
WTF are they gonna do with 85 million assholes with over 200 million weapons to hand out?
They wouldnt be able to hold new york or LA without being willing to shoot the frak out of everything...and I mean EVERYTHING....
You think our citizen soldiers are just gonna say Ok...I'll kill everyone where my aunt lives...or my cousins...or my friends....
Worse case senario...they declare martial law....troops moblize....when they get to their deployment points...they are greeted with open arms and they give washington the finger....
Now what?
They tried that shit in russia.....didnt work so good...the army deployed...then gave the finger to the soviet Govt.
End of soviet Govt.
The army of for and by the people...is the army of ,for and by the people....
This aint china.
And I would remind you...when China tried to clear Tiananmen Square the first time...the army gave them the finger too...they had to clear those troops and bring in troops from the far north who hated people in the south anyways...
Are military isnt built like that...
Why do you think the libs lement the "red state army"
Because they know our troops wouldnt follow unconstitutional orders...
Spare me the stuff on katrina...it was local cops who took peoples guns....not the NG....
yeah...in case you cant tell..this crap pisses me off just a tad...
The Australian AND the Brit gun-owners talked tough too.
When the ban happened they did nothing.
And neither will American gun owners.
It's important to fight them NOW however we can (non-violently).
I'm a long-time NRA member. I've looked closely at how it all happened in other countries.
There will be some piss'n and moanin' but that's about it.
If the sheeple won't make more than a wimper as they are shackled with debt up to their ears, lowering the standard of living for themselves and their children for decades, what the hell makes you think they would actually resist a gun ban?
A big thanks to all those "republicans" who voted for 0bama because he was "cool" and black. Thank you very much for your effort and thorough consideration.
I'll gun down ANY man who tries to disarm me.
Go read a comic book.
And the sooner, the better.
YOU obviously don't know $hit.
I'd rather die on my feet than live on my knees.
I am a producer, not a parasite. Zeros commie buddies want people to work and pay the taxes; corpses do them no good at all.
This is all bullqueeze anyway. There is NO WAY they are going to outlaw guns, and the goobermint knows it.
"Thats how the Nazis gained power so fast. They used political skill and the media they controlled to take advantage of each and every national crisis and tragedy."
Not many Germans possessed firearms in 1933. 80 million Americans do in 2009. If they come after our guns, they will have to fight millions (not 80 million, because some will cave and turn in their guns; but enough will keep their guns and fight for what America once was, and what they will hope for it to be again).
Sounds like you'll surrender at the drop of a hat.
Alright, tough guys.
We'll see.
You're gonna be awfully lonely there waiting for backup, staring-down assorted para-military.
Once the law is passed YOU will become the fanatics, the loons, the terrorists.
You are picturing a mass uprising when it'll be more like the '97 LA bank robbery.
You're going down.
It isn't going to happen like you imagine it will.
"Im a long-time NRA member. Ive looked closely at how it all happened in other countries."
yeah...well I'm a certified NRA instructor.....I teach cops wifes to qualify for CCW permits...soldiers wifes to qualify for CCW permits....little old ladies to qualify for CCW permits...
I dont leave my house unarmed...EVER.
I dont just talk the talk..I walk it out and home again...
I have cops and military in my family....if you think they are going to start gunning down civilians ( as in NOT gang bangers or ZETA) your as whacked as the truther freaks...
It's talk like yours that gets people freaked out who dont know any damn better...
I'll say it again...they aint gonna do shit.
They CANT do shit...their only option would be to slaughter americans in the streets...who's gonna do it...Obama's personal gaurd?
250,000 fantasy people vs 85 Million REAL people?
Aint gonna happen.
It would be a slaughter alright...but it wouldnt be us getting their asses handed to them...
Do you even have a clue why liberal politicans fear Americans MORE than Al Qeada?
Al Qeada cant storm washington and line the streets with corpses hanging from light poles.
Well, whaddya know? Wayne LaPierre was correct twice.
"I've come to believe he (Clinton) needs a certain level of violence in this country. He is willing to accept a certain level of killing to further his political agenda. The vice president, too. How else can you explain this dishonesty we get out of the administration?
Just switch the name..
If a man can say he will shoot before opening that door then he understands his fate.
Ain't happenin'
"Sounds like you'll surrender at the drop of a hat."
No, I won't have to surrender. I won't be there.
If the American people vote in commie thugs and lose their rights as a result, I'M not taking responsibility for it.
America is/was the greatest country in human history—but it isn't MY country.
If it was, we certainly wouldn't be talking about the banning of guns or the labor-rape of Americans.
I'm one man with zero power. If the ignorant masses lose their gun rights to vote for a "cool black man" then as far as I'm concerned they deserve to.
Why would I risk a toenail for a bunch of fools?
I'd risk my life in a heartbeat for freedom.
For socialism/communism/slavery, nothing. Best of luck to everyone else—I'm lookin' out for mine at that point. That's all I'll have time for.
"Once the law is passed YOU will become the fanatics, the loons, the terrorists."
Yep...all 85 million of us...and the cops in my family...and the active duty military in my family..and the vets in my family...my friends and neighbors...
I'll be in good company.
I notice you used the term "YOU" instead of "WE"....very telling indeed...
You're spinning fantasy...and I'll telling you like it is...
You support the troops...until Obama got in office.
I dont fear the troops...I still support them...and they know who supports them...
"Id risk my life in a heartbeat for freedom."
Which is exactly what we would be fighting for if they came for our guns. The ONLY thing that will keep a tyrannical government in check is an armed citizenry; that's why the leftist pukes have always wanted to ban guns.
I'm not a "truther".
I'm a guy who spent his entire young life around guys just like you. Guys who call me best friend. WWII vets, gulf war vets, vietnam vets and iraq/afghanistan vets many of them.
I am descended from quite a few military fighting men.
Again, I'd give it all up for freedom.
I'm not giving 0bama's ilk anything.
I grew up around many WWII vets and I've always feared what would happen when that generation passed-on. Well, what I envisioned has started to happen.
Unless the masses get a clue, and fast, we are finished.
That truth is no less harsh for me than it is anyone. I'm not going deny it, however.
"No, I wont have to surrender. I wont be there."
I hear the weather in Canada is wonderful this time of year...better get out while you can...might break a nail...
Check your rights at the border.
I offer you this quote:
"You cannot invade the mainland United States. There would be a rifle behind every blade of grass." - Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto
BTW the KID wins. Lefty crap started a long time ago. (Throwing a wrestler at him was pretty damn funny though).
I appluad that...but I also come from a LONG line of vets...have family currently serving...and living vets in the family...
American citizen soldiers are NOT going to follow these types of orders....
maybe a few cops would...and a few NG...big deal...
To do what you are saying they would need heavy armor...LOTS of it...air support....artillary fire support...and hundreds of thousand of trained MOTIVATED boots on the ground willing to blow the frak out of anything and everything...kill people and break shit......
Werent you even paying attention to the Iraq war at all?
Iraq is the size of Ohio.
George Soros is a billionaire. They're very well funded.
Do not underestimate these people. They most certainly will do anything to get their way.
"You cannot invade the mainland United States. There would be a rifle behind every blade of grass." - Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto"
Sorry, Crim, but the Admiral was referring to the WWII generation—not the fat, dumb and happy Americans of 2009.
And you can get as ridiculous as you want about Canada, and all that. I didn't arrive at my beliefs yesterday on a whim. I'm a gun rights activist. But I'm here to tell you that once it happens, once you hear on the radio or see on TV that the ban has been passed, there WILL BE NO UPRISING, FRiend.
Maybe, MAYBE, a skirmish here, or there, but all those gun-owners you talk about will comply.
You, if your warrior-like comments are to be believed, and would be followed-through upon, will be a very small minority of resistors. The paradigm shifts just as soon as the law is passed in the minds of most Americans. Should you provide armed resistance, you will be killed in short order.

text: Has anyone had any luck calling coyotes in with these record high temps we have been having? It seems like the dogs are fairly inactive right now. I think that they are just content to sit around and enjoy the nice weather, since they are not having to forage as much to keep the calories up like they have to do with cold weather. Sure could use a good cold snap to get things going.

The U.S. military is flying some of its most advanced spy planes in search of the girls kidnapped by militants in Nigeria, according to a senior defense official.
The high-flying drone, Global Hawk, has been joined by MC-12 Liberty aircraft, which have pilots and a crew, to vacuum up images and communication signals, said the official who spoke on condition of anonymity to describe the aircraft the military has deployed. Neither aircraft is armed.
The military is not sharing intelligence collected directly with the Nigerian government, Army Col. Steve Warren, a Pentagon spokesman said Tuesday.
"We are not sharing the raw intelligence data," Warren told reporters. "We are working closely with the Nigerians to establish intelligence-sharing protocols. We're also establishing a baseline. But as of now, we are not directly sharing that information."
The Global Hawk has the ability to stay aloft for more than 28 hours and beam back imagery and communications data that it has snatched to analysts on the ground. It can fly as high as 60,000 feet. The Liberty aircraft were developed as part of an urgent effort under former Defense Secretary Robert Gates to rush more spy planes to Iraq and Afghanistan. Along with drones, Liberty planes helped U.S. and allied troops track insurgents and find roadside bombs before they detonated.

By JASON BAILEYSun Advocate/Progress Webmaster
At one point or another, most people have purchased software for their computer. It may have been an office suite (like Microsoft Office), a virus scanner (Norton McAfee) or some sort of game. Once we have purchased the software, we are authorized to use the software but are bound by the rules of the software's license agreement.
This agreement, for example, prohibits buyers from making copies of the program for others to use, or from reverse-engineering (decompiling) the software.
Such programs are often developed behind closed doors by corporations like Microsoft, Norton or McAfee. The program's source code (the textual instructions that constitute a program) is developed by corporate employees. Once the program has been completed, the source code is used to generate, or "compile" an actual software program (executable) that can be installed on the customer's computer.
Not long ago, a new software development model emerged that was far different than the traditional model. In 1998, a handful of people formed the Open Source Initiative (OSI). This initiative, which has since ignited a huge global movement, focuses on open standards, availability and freedom.
All open source programs share several common facets:
Royalty-free distribution. Meaning, you can't charge people for the distribution of open source software.
A copy of the source code is included with the program, so the program can be modified or altered to the users' desires.
Allows modifications and derived works (which can then be distributed under the same terms as the license of the original software). In other words, if you want to distribute a modified version of an open source program, it must be released under the same conditions.
So what does this mean to you? It means highly capable software is available to you at no cost. You may already be using some sort of open-source software. Here's several of my favorites (search on Google):*
Mozilla Firefox, a full-featured web browser
Mozilla Thunderbird, a full-featured email client
OpenOffice.org, an office suite comparable to Microsoft Office® for Windows, Linux and Mac OS-X
FileZilla, an FTP server and client for Windows
Linux, an operating system, like Windows or Mac OS-X
KDE, a desktop environment for Linux
Miranda-IM, a multi-protocol chat program for Windows that is compatible with AIM, ICQ, IRC, MSN Messenger, Yahoo Messenger and Jabber, among other protocols.
ClamAV, a virus scanner for Windows, Linux and OS-X.
Apache, web server software for Windows, Linux and other operating systems.
MySQL, a relational database server for Windows, Linux, OS-X and other operating systems.
Some people in the technology industry are hesitant to trust open-source software, claiming that it isn't safe or lacks accountability. However, such conclusions are often made in ignorance without facts. Open source software has been embraced by major companies like IBM, Novell, Sun and Apple, who can't risk adopting software that isn't supported or doesn't work.
One of the great things about open source software is motivation. Most open source projects are not commercially driven, which can actually be a very good thing. Many open source advocates care more about personal pride than profit, and will put alot of time and effort into their software, ensuring it works well. Others are developing open source software for their own specific needs, and are graciously sharing that software with everyone else.
In any event, open source software provides some excellent alternatives to commercial software and are worth a look!

I ship records separatly from covers in a strong cardboard package.
Record grading system (Based on Goldmine Grading System)MINT COVERS: A mint cover appears to have never had a record inside it. No wear to the corners or any marring on the face or back of the cover. This also applies to EP jackets and 45 single picture sleeves.MINT VINYL: A mint record looks perfect. A mint record looks like it has just left the manufacturer, with NO flaws what so ever. It looks as though it has never been handled. No scuffs or scratches. The vinyl does not have any defect from the factory pressing, such as bubbles or pits in the vinyl. Even if they do not cause any problem when played. It is a perfect pressing.NEAR MINT or NM: We define NM as being almost mint. This grade is the most widely used grade for records that appear virtually flawless. Virtually flawless records are not perfect. A very minor scuff and very little else may appear on the vinyl. This will most likely have occurred during packaging, or removing the record from the inner sleeve but has been handled with extreme care. It should play without any noise over the flaw. The flaw is very hard to see. NEAR MINT COVERS: The cover looks as close to perfect with only minor signs of wear and or age. Minor impressions to the cover (due to the outer edge of the vinyl resting inside) may be present, however the artwork is as close to perfect as can be.EXCELLENT or EX:EX VINYL: An excellent (EX) condition for vinyl allows minor scuffs which are visible but only slightly. The wear is minimal and plays mint. No scratches on vinyl.EX COVER: Artwork is as close to perfect as can be. Some impression to the cover (minor outer ring wear) may appear but no ink wear. Some slight creases to the corners, but not wrinkled and obtrusive to the eye. The corners can show white meaning, slight wear. No seam splits or writing on the cover or taped repairs.VERY GOOD PLUS or VG+:VG+ VINYL: VG+ will show wear, surface scuffs, (or spiral scuffs that came from turn table platters or jukeboxes for 45 singles) and some very light scratches. Surface scuffs may have been caused from blunt (not sharp) objects. Minor scuffs may have been caused from inner sleeves. The vinyl still has a great luster, but the flaws are noticeable to the naked eye. If you the record up to a very bright light, you may see many tiny lines across the surface. The record looks as though it was handled with extreme care. VG+ COVERS: A virtually clean cover. The artwork looks clean with slightly more aging. The back of the cover may give away the age of the cover. Flat white paper may be somewhat yellow yet no stains or mildew from water damage. Some minor wear to the seams or spine, but no tears or holes popping through. The corners may be slightly dog eared yet no crackly bends, defacing the artwork. VERY GOOD or VG: A Very Good (VG) record may appear well played but still has some luster. The vinyl may be faded, slightly grayish, yet appears to have been handled as carefully as it could have been. There may be minor crackle or a slight hiss, but is only heard in between tracks or in low musical passages. VG COVERS: VG covers look worn and used. There may be some seam splitting but not completely separated. There may be some ring wear, where the ink has begun to wear off. There may be some writing on the cover. It may look aged and more yellowish yet it is decent. VG covers do not have taped seams or water damage to it. G+ and VG-: Many records that appear in VG condition often play less than very good. These are defined as better than Good, but less than Very Good. With a G+ record, it will look just as the described condition for Good, yet may play better than it looks. Same for VG-, however VG- and G+ are of the same value.GOOD or G: A good record looks very well played, dull, grayish and possibly abused. However a Good record still plays. It may have distracting surface noise such as crackle that is continuous or some hiss. It plays without any skips or any obtrusively loud pops or repeated clicks, caused by deep scratches. Good means that it will play with some form of decency, so one can still enjoy the music even though you can still hear noise caused from the wear. GOOD COVER: A Good cover may have just about everything wrong with it. It may have seam splits (possibly taped repaired). In essence, the cover may looked trashed, but the artwork is still noticeable. FAIR & POOR: Fair and Poor records do not meet the lowest grade above (GOOD), they are trash and worthless. It won't be playable for the most part.
