Not to be a killjoy, but doesn't the -a option take care of this?
Hi! I wrote the hack below in C++ to get ls to recognize ".hidden" files (files that list directory entries to be removed from the listing ala MacOS X). I even shoehorned it into ls and added "-lstdc++ hidden.o" to coreutils' Makefile. However, I'd much rather use C instead of C++ and plop the code into ls.c itself (and not depend on the standard C++ library). I don't know the first thing about memory management C, so I was hoping someone here knew the equivalent C code (or could direct me to where I could find out). Thanks!
Code:// hidden.h #ifndef HIDDEN_FILE_H #define HIDDEN_FILE_H #ifdef __cplusplus extern "C" { #endif void load_hidden_file(const char* a_dir); int is_hidden(const char* a_entry); void release_hidden_files(); #ifdef __cplusplus } #endif #endif // HIDDEN_FILE_H // hidden.cpp #include <algorithm> #include <fstream> #include <string> #include <vector> #include "hidden.h" namespace { std::vector<std::string> hidden; } void load_hidden_file(const char* a_dir) { std::string line = a_dir + std::string("/.hidden"); std::ifstream file(line.c_str()); if (file) while(std::getline(file, line)) hidden.push_back(line); file.close(); } int is_hidden(const char* a_entry) { return (std::find(hidden.begin(), hidden.end(), a_entry) != hidden.end()) || (a_entry[0] == '.'); } void release_hidden_files() { hidden.clear(); }
Not to be a killjoy, but doesn't the -a option take care of this?
Good work anshelm!!!
Yes, this can be done with 'ls -a' but it was a good project none the less. You might use that source elsewhere with an app to see the hidden files. Dunno.
I don't think I was quite clear on my intent.
I'm extending the functionaility of hidden files. This will allow you to put a file called ".hidden" in a directory and list files you don't want listed. So instead of renaming "bin" to ".bin", you could add "bin" to the .hidden file and it will have the same effect (such as appearing when -a is used).
Oh, now that is useful.
Very nice.
For the sake of interest you may want to browse the source for nautilus, the Gnome file manager...I believe it does largely the same thing but in a graphical way.
I poked around in the code for Nautilus, but the function for adding support for ".hidden" depends on several functions that appear to be from gnome, as well as is quite integrated with the rest of Nautilus's view of the current directory. So instead I took a shot at porting to C based solely on the info I could find on google. I'm pretty sure I made some mistakes in regards to memory management alone, although it does compile and work. Any improvements or pointers to what I did wrong would be appreciated.
Code:static char** hidden_file_lines; static long int hidden_file_count; static void load_hidden_file(const char* a_dir) { char* name; FILE* fp; char line[PATH_MAX]; hidden_file_count = 0; hidden_file_lines = (char**)malloc(hidden_file_count * sizeof(char*)); name = (char*)malloc((strlen(a_dir) + 9) * sizeof(char)); name = strcpy(name, a_dir); name = strcat(name, "/.hidden"); if ((fp = fopen(name, "r")) != NULL) { while (fgets(line, PATH_MAX, fp) != NULL) { if (strlen(line) == 1) continue; hidden_file_count++; hidden_file_lines = (char**)realloc((void*)hidden_file_lines, hidden_file_count * sizeof(char*)); hidden_file_lines[hidden_file_count - 1] = (char*)calloc(strlen(line) - 1, sizeof(char)); hidden_file_lines[hidden_file_count - 1] = memcpy(hidden_file_lines[hidden_file_count - 1], line, (strlen(line) - 1)); } } fclose(fp); free(name); return; } static int is_hidden(const char* a_entry) { long int i; if (a_entry[0] == '.') { return 1; } for (i = 0; i < hidden_file_count; i++) { if (strcmp(a_entry, hidden_file_lines[i]) == 0) { return 1; } } return 0; } static void release_hidden_file() { long int i; for (i = 0; i < hidden_file_count; i++) { free(hidden_file_lines[i]); } free(hidden_file_lines); hidden_file_count = 0; }

Peter's Three-Run Blast Caps Offensive Burst as Baseball Wins, 13-11
QUEENS, N.Y. - Junior Jake Peter blasted a three-run blast over the right field wall in the top of the ninth to propel Creighton baseball to a 13-11 win in the conclusion of Saturday's contest on Sunday, May 11.
The win lifted Creighton to 26-15-1 and 11-3 in BIG EAST play, while St. John's fell to 32-16 overall and 11-3 in conference play.
Down 11-10 with one out in the top of the ninth, senior Brad McKewon lined his fifth hit of the game through the left side. Sophomore Ryan Fitzgerald was hit by a pitch to set the stage for Peter. After taking a first pitch strike, Peter blasted a fastball over the right field wall. It was the first runs allowed by St. John's closer Joe Kuzia as he entered the game with a 0.00 ERA in 33.2 innings.
Creighton closer, Bryan Sova, worked a scoreless ninth to preserve the 13-11 win.
This game was picked up at 9:30 am in the top of the sixth inning with St. John's holding a 5-4 lead.
As play resumed Creighton had one out and runners at second and third. The Bluejays pushed across the tying run on McKewon's RBI single.
St. John's appeared to take control with four runs in the bottom of the sixth, but Creighton responded with a five-spot of its own in the top of the seventh to take a 10-9 lead.
Walks to Peter and senior Mike Gerber, followed by a single by sophomore Reagan Fowler loaded the bags to open the seventh. Sophomore Brett Murray plated Peter on a sac fly, then freshman Nicky Lopez singled to right to fill the bags once more. Sophomore Joey Mancuso made it 9-7 with a single to right. One out later, McKewon knotted the game with a two-run single to right. Finally Fitzgerald gave the Bluejays the lead, 10-9, with an RBI knock through the right side.
St. John's responded with a single runs in the seventh and the eighth to earn the 11-10 edge.
Sophomore Nick Highberger picked up the win (3-0) for Creighton, allowing one run on three hits in 1.2 innings of relief. Sova earned his seventh save of the season, allowing just one hit in a scoreless ninth inning.
Kuzia took the loss (0-2) as he was tagged for three runs on three hits in one inning of work.
The Bluejays and Red Storm will play the rubber game of their three-game series at 12 pm (CT). Follow the game on Fox Sports 1.

Altana acquires Valspar's overprints varnishes business
October 18, 2013 | Michael Ravenscroft
Altana (Wesel, Germany) says it has acquired the European business for waterborne and UV overprint varnishes of Valspar (France). The business had sales of less than €8 million ($10.9 million) in 2012, primarily in Europe, Altana says. The business will be integrated into the graphics arts business within the Actega division at Altana, the company says. "With this acquisition we are taking over additional know-how, technologies, and customers in our rapidly expanding graphics arts business line," says Roland Peter, president/Actega at Altana...

Big GOP donors keeping their 2016 powder dry
The Washington Post reports that, on the whole, wealthy Republican donors are unwilling so far to commit to a candidate for president. According to reporters Matea Gold and Tom Hamburger, the donor class is "wary of fueling the kind of costly and politically damaging battle that dominated the 2012 primaries." More to the point, it's unclear at this early juncture which potential candidate it makes the most sense to support. »
World of Payne
Erica Payne is one sick chick who perfectly represents the unloveliness of the contemporary left. Following up on her very personal message to me soliciting criminal abuse of Paul Ryan's new book at bookstores near me (would that include Garrison Keillor's, Erica?), she now writes: Hi Scott, Paul Ryan is the front-runner in Iowa, Christie is slipping, Perry may be out, and the consensus among Republican consultants is that Ryan »
A long, hard fall for Rubio and Christie in New Hampshire
A new Granite State poll of likely New Hampshire Republican primary voters is out. The poll was conducted for WMUR by the University of New Hampshire. The results can't be taken too seriously because only 1 percent of those surveyed say they have definitely decided how they will vote. But the results are interesting, nonetheless. Rand Paul is the leader at 15 percent. He is followed by "favorite daughter" Kelly »
Why Paul Ryan must be denounced
George Will shows that Paul Ryan was right to contend that a "tailspin of culture, in our inner cities" plays a huge role in the persistence of poverty. Will finds the liberal outrage at Ryan's unexceptionable remarks to be the product of "malice, ignorance, and intellectual sloth." I find them to be the product of ideological necessity. Ryan's analysis is inconsistent with both the left's narrative and its prescriptions. Therefore »

For example, Obama was the guy you could usually defeat in a late night argument, but only the most intelligent of your friends realized you had beaten him. Here are a few more: Chris Christie is the guy you never stuck »
The Democrats Continue Their Smear of Paul Ryan
I wrote here about the Democratic Party's disgraceful attempt to smear Paul Ryan and Bill Bennett as part of their ongoing fundraising effort. Last week, Ryan appeared on Bennett's Morning In America radio show and, among other topics, he and Bennett discussed urban poverty. This is what Ryan said, as transcribed by me: Bennett — Fatherless problem is a big one. Ryan — Absolutely — that's the tailspin or spiral »
Will conservatives give Marco Rubio another look?
Politico reports that Marco Rubio is "seeking to rehabilitate his image with much of the GOP base" by falling back on "staunch conservative positions" such as a "more aggressive U.S. response to Russia in the Ukraine crisis." I hope that denouncing passivity in response to aggression by our adversaries remains a staunch conservative position. Rubio explained that "many of my supporters maybe disagreed with me on immigration — and disagreed »
House Republican leadership to push for formal amnesty
Politico reports on the House Republican leadership's approach to immigration reform for this year. As set forth by Paul Ryan, it will consist of four pieces of legislation to be voted on separately. The first bill would provide amnesty but not path to citizenship for illegal immigrants. The second would provide a path to citizenship for illegals who came as teenagers or younger. The third would require the tracking of »
Poll has Clinton and Christie in a dead heat
For what it's worth, and that may not be much, Chris Christie is in a statistical dead heat with Hillary Clinton in a poll by CNN/ORC International. The poll puts Christie at 48 percent and Clinton at 46 percent. Christie wins nearly six in ten votes among independents, and wins a majority of suburbanites and older voters. Clinton wins decisively among women. Unfortunately, Christie is the only Republican among those »
Murray to veterans victimized by her budget deal: Ryan's bad
As John and others have pointed out, the Murray-Ryan budget compromise cuts spending by reducing cost of living increases in military pensions. The reduction even applies to disabled veterans. Naturally, there has been a backlash against these cuts. So naturally, Patty Murray (but apparently not Paul Ryan) is trying to distance herself from them. Murray's people are blaming Ryan. But these cuts could not have seen the light of day »
Paul Ryan — the new center of the Republican establishment
Marc Thiessen disputes the conventional wisdom that Republicans should accept the Murray-Ryan budget compromise because if they don't, they will be blamed for an ensuing government shutdown. He notes that unlike with the October shutdown over Obamacare, this time it would be the Democrats who are trying to force a change to established law. I made the same point last week: Republicans received most of the blame for the recent »
Paul Ryan's illusory boast
In an interview on MSNBC, Paul Ryan blasted Marco Rubio for opposing the Murray-Ryan budget deal before reading it. Ryan's criticism is largely specious. Where, as here, a legislator deals in secret and then hopes to ram the product through Congress before opposition has a chance to jell, the natural response by potential opponents is to gather as much information as possible about the bargain before it is sprung. If »
Ryan denies selling out Senate Republicans
The office of Rep. Paul Ryan has denied the report by NRO's Jonathan Strong that the budget deal Ryan negotiated with Sen. Patty Murray limits the ability of Republican Senators to block tax increases. I linked to Strong's report last night and criticized the deal on that basis. You can read here about Ryan's pushback and the pushback to that pushback from Strong's sources. To me it seems clear that »
Paul Ryan then and now
In 2011, Rep. Paul Ryan put forth a bold plan to reform Medicare. His plan had no chance of passing the Democrat-controlled Senate, much less being signed into law by President Obama. But, as one of Ryan's aides told me, the Congressman felt that the current entitlement system is a time bomb waiting to explode and bring down America. Thus, he perceived a duty to propose legislation that would fix »
Obama and Ryan both want to help house pass immigration reform
Politico reports that after the Senate passed its immigration bill late last month, President Obama asked House Speaker John Boehner and Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, during separate telephone calls, what he could do to help the House pass a bill. The easy answer is: stay out of the process and enforce, rather than nullify, statutory provisions that are on the books. Theoretically, Obama might be able to facilitate passage of »
On immigration reform, there's not much distance between Rubio and Ryan
I just watched Paul Ryan on Sean Hannity's program (the replay) and there seems to be even less difference than I had supposed between Ryan's approach to illegal immigration and that of Marco Rubio. Like Rubio, Ryan rejects the idea, pressed on him several times by Hannity, that we should fix the border first before making any adjustments to the status of illegal immigrants. As I understand what he told »
In the House too, the fix may well be in
Paul Ryan tells a Washington audience assembled by the National Association of Manufacturers that "earned legalization is an issue I think the House can and will deal with." In other words, as CNBC's John Harwood tweeted, "Paul Ryan tells me House will pass immigration 'path to citizenship.' Despite flak on right, 'House can/will deal with earned legalization.'" Earlier this year, when comments by Ryan caused me to suggest that amnesty »

BRASHER FALLS - The St. Lawrence Central varsity softball team rallied to claim an 8-7 decision in nine innings over Franklin Academy in a late-season NAC interdivisional matchup on Monday of teams that have clinched their respective regular season titles.
The Lady Larries went into the game leading the North Division standings but gained sole possession of the league title after Brushton-Moira handed second-place Norwood-Norfolk a 6-0 loss. SLC and N-N are slated to close out the regular season on Saturday in Brasher Falls starting at 11 a.m. in what had shaped up to be a showdown for the division title.
The Lady Huskies, who came into the game having captured the Central Division crown this spring, overcame a 3-0 deficit and led 7-4 after scoring a pair of runs in the top of the seventh only to have the Lady Larries rally to tie the game then pull out the win with a walk-off single off the bat of Chelsea Savage in the bottom of the ninth inning.
Lindsey Thayer went the distance for the win, striking out 16 while walking four and allowing six hits. Anne Sharlow pitched the first six innings then came back to work the ninth in taking the loss. Alissa McCauley worked the seventh and eight innings in relief.
Thayer also had a big day offensively going 4-5 with a solo homerun in the first inning, two runs scored and two RBI. Brandi Thomas was 2-5 with two runs scored. Haleigh Agans (runs scored, RBI), Liz Lynch (run scored), Caitlin Grow (double, run scored), Tera Douglas (RBI) and Breanna Vatter (RBI) all connected for solo hits while Noel Rufal came around to score a solo run.
Sharlow was 2-4 with an RBI and Erin McDonald was 2-3 with two runs scored and three RBI in leading the FA offense. Morgan Fountain and Whitney Legacy had the other hits while Janel Heden relayed a pair of walks into a pair of runs scored.
The Lady Larries scored solo runs in their first three at-bats before a two-run double by McDonald and an RBI-single by Legacy tied the game in the top of the fourth.
The Lady Huskies went ahead 5-4 with a pair of runs in the sixth then pushed their lead to 7-4 in the seventh. SLC staged a dramatic rally to tie the game with Thayer and Agans connecting for back-to-back RBI-singles before Savage drove in Agans with a sacrifice fly to leftfield.
After a scoreless eighth, the Larries put together the winning run in the bottom of the ninth where Thomas and Thayer led-off with back-to-back singles before Agans was issued an intentional walk. Savage then stepped up and hit a sharp groundball down the thirdbase line to drive Thomas in with the winning run.
B-M 6, N-N 0: In Norfolk, the Lady Panthers scored twice in their first two at-bats then sealed the victory with two more in the seventh to come away with the impressive late-season win over their Class C rivals.
Emily OConnor pitched the win, striking out six and walking three while limiting the Lady Flyers to just three singles. She also played a lead role offensively, going 4-4 with two doubles and three RBI. Jenna Dufrane was 2-3 with a two-run single in the second inning. Megan DeBeer had an RBI-single in the sixth. Ashley DeBeer singled and scored a run.
Katie Ames (1K, 3W) went the distance in taking the loss and had two of the three N-N hits. Mickey Frego had the other.
In NAC East softball action on Tuesday, Parishville-Hopkinton outlasted Madrid-Waddington 14-12 and Colton-Pierrepont blanked Tupper Lake 20-0. The lone Central Division matchup saw Canton gain a twinbill sweep at home over Potsdam and Harrisville played at Clifton-Fine in the only West encounter.
P-H 14, M-W 12: In Madrid, the host Yellowjackets built a 12-7 lead with a five-run surge in the fifth inning only to have the Lady Panthers counter with a decisive seven-run outburst in the sixth.
Kodi Perkins delivered a two run triple in the sixth and scored four runs in the game lead the Panthers. Jenna Converse (2-5), Mary Coventry (2-5), Monica Votra (1-4), Casara Cole (1-4), Marissa Paradis (1-4), and Nicole White (2-5) also contributed in the win as White fanned six batters in the complete-game effort where she allowed 14 hits.
Bridget Beldock supplied two doubles and a single and drove in a run while Emily Uppstrom connected for three singles and a double. Desiree Pryce (2-4 3 runs scored), Blair Cryderman (2-4 triple 2RBI), Taylor Marcellus (1-5), Logan Barkley (1-5) and Paige Moulton (1-4). Cryderman fanned four batters and allowed 10 hits in the loss.
C-P 20, Tupper Lake 0: An 11-run fourth inning sealed the win as Eve Whalen belted a two-run homerun and singled and Andrea Aldous connected for a triple, single and three RBI as Sabrina Johnson fanned eight batters walked two and allowed a single hit to Jessie Weigart in the fourth inning.
Morgan Doyle, Kylie McKinley, Kathryn Miller, Johnson and Kelsi Gilbert all singled in the win.
Canton 28-31, Potsdam 0-5: Beth Pearson pitched the win in the first game striking out eight and walking one while allowing just a third-inning single to Kelsey Green.
Emma Rexford led the way offensively going 3-4 with five RBI and four runs scored while Pearson was 2-4 with four RBI and three runs scored.
In the nightcap, Pearson pitched three hitless innings to start the game before giving way to Julia Bailey (2K, 4BB).
Rexford had another productive outing at the plate, going 3-3 with six RBI and 5 runs scored. Tara Facey was 3-3 with three runs scored. Holly Fanning (3RBI, 5 runs scored), Bailey Hurlbut (3 runs scored, RBI) and Pearson (2 runs scored, RBI) all connected for two hits.
Amy Arno singled to account for the lone Potsdam hit and came around to score a run while Green scored twice.

This is a start to a story that I'm writing. Any feedback on my writing skills or lack thereof would be appreciated. I know it hits some hot political stuff, but I just want literary feedback, not political. Thanks.
The protest was massive. Thousands upon thousand of people had gathered out on the National Mall, in front of the White House, to protest a variety of issues. Angry demonstrators waved signs filled with grievances about the environment, health care, the war in Iraq, and the continuing consolidation of executive power. Capital Police looked about anxiously, dressed in full riot gear. This protest had continued for 4 days, and no end was in sight. Marine troops and armored personnel carriers blocked the way between the protest and the White House. The safety of the president was no joking matter. Their guns were loaded with real bullets.
Mitch Garson pushed the wide mop along the polished marble floors. Reaching the end of the hallway, he gathered up the debris and prepared to head towards the Oval Office. Oh, Lord how he hated this job. 55, balding, unmarried, and employed at the White House as "sanitary specialist.†He was the janitor of the most powerful man in the world. And it just so happened, that the most powerful man in the world and his staff were the messiest administration he'd seen in 27 years of sweeping these halls. At first he's been eager to take the job. Who wouldn't want to work in the White House, even as a janitor. He had been having trouble finding work anyway. But after 10 years of distinguished military service, you'd think the government could've done better. He emptied the Presidents trash can, then moved on to the Cabinet Room. They always left a tremendous mess. He paused to look out the window. The protest was still going on. In 27 years of work at the White House, this had to be one of the larger ones he's seen. It had been going on for a while; 4, maybe 5 days? He wasn't certain. He supposed they had something to complain about. A war that had dragged on 14 years for no apparent reason, massive cuts in domestic spending, an economy gone down the tubes. After the bombings at the Space Needle in Seattle by domestic terrorists, the Domestic Defense Service had been established. He had heard things about them. Secret prisons, torture. One journalist had come forward to talk about harassment after publishing an anarchist editorial, but died in a car crash soon after. The DDS listened to phone calls, read emails, and monitored Internet legal violations. At least, that's what some people said. Good data was hard to find these days, as most of the major news services had conglomerated into the New Media Corporation, or NMC. And while once anyone could publish to the Internet, nowadays it was nearly impossible to get any attention without paying thousands of dollars in fees to several different service providers. But making policy wasn't his job. He just swept the place.
"Mr. Hatheson, I'm with NMC, could I interview you about this protest?â€
The reporter was shorter than he was, maybe 5'11''. The sign on her mike read in big block print: "NMCâ€
"About the protest?â€
He's come to Washington two days ago, after hearing about the protest from friends who had been visiting the nation's capitol. Over the last 6 years, he'd systematically lost everything. His home, to the foreclosure crisis. His job, to massive out sourcing. He had nothing, no health coverage, he lived in an apartment on rent, and made his living serving at a local diner. Once he'd heard about the protest, he'd decided to go, on impulse. He was tired of toiling for nothing while the government looked out for big companies interests. He was tired of being treated like a potential terrorist 24/7. Tired of having phone calls monitored, emails read. So he came. And he didn't intend to leave until something changed.
"Yes, about the protest.â€
"What about it?â€
"Why are you here?â€
"Everyone here has their own reasons for protesting. The war, environment, but I think civil liberties and the gross inequality of the economy are the two big ones. But like I said, everyone has their own reasons.â€
"What about allegations of violence, drug use, and vandalism that have been stated?â€
"Of course they'd like to say we're violent, we're stoned , that we're just radicals. But we really just want to force the government to pay attention to the people again. They can't ignore us forever. Now perhaps some radicals have been violent, or vandalized something, but by far the majority here are peaceful people.â€
"So some of these allegations are true, then?â€
"Yes, but most are not.â€
"Thank you for your time.â€
"You bet.â€
"Tonight, on NMC Nightwatch, our own Jane Evelyn interviews protesters obstructing progress in the nation's capital. Why are they really there? Over to you, Janeâ€
"Thank you Frank. I spoke with one of the protesters, a Mr. James Hatheson, in order to get a sense of what this is all about. " A video clip ran:
"Why are you here?â€
"Everyone here has their own reasons for protesting.â€
"What about allegations of violence, drug use, and vandalism that have been stated?â€
We're violent, we're stoned ... we're radicals. They can't ignore us forever.
"So some of these allegations are true, then?â€
The clip ended, and the host spoke to one of the nearby experts.
"With people like this leading the protests, should we expect the government to respond seriously?â€
"Obviously not. These people are simply professional troublemakersâ€
The coverage continued for 5 minutes before moving on to Paris Hilton's latest boyfriend.
Mitch ambled down the hall, pushing his mop ahead of him. Now he had to sweep out the War Room. He hated that. The Secretary of State always left a tremendous mess, and no one else cared to pick up, they were above that. Looking down the hall, he saw a dark liquid oozing into the hall. Great. Now they've spilled something too, he thought to himself. He walked pack and got his cart, and pushed it up to the door. He grabbed his mop and prepared to start, when he noticed what the spill was. Blood. A knife pressed against his back, a hand went over his mouth, and someone whispered into his ear. "Clean it up.†Trembling, he slowly mopped the blood up, then wrung out his mop into a bucket. He finished, leaving a faint red slime on the floor. No one would notice it unless they looked closely. He glanced at the dead man. A Secret Service agent was propped against the wall, bleeding out from a knife wound to the stomach. His unseen assailant whispered, "Thanksâ€. Then a sharp pain in the back of his head, and everything went dark.
The man looked at the janitor unconscious on the floor. He wore sunglasses, a Secret Service outfit, suit and tie, and radio so he would know if they were onto him. Now what? He'd come here to kill them all, hadn't he? To cleanse the country of corruption. That was what was necessary. But was it his choice? Could he decide what was really best for this man, a normal citizen? How could any of them know for sure? They couldn't. He decided. He reached into his pocked and pulled out the detonator. It was labeled with two buttons. He took a pen from his pocket, and scrawled "detonate†under one button and "disarm†under the other. He took a pad from the War Room and hastily explained the choice in a short note. He slipped the note and detonator into the janitor's pocket. He stuffed the Secret Service agent into a corner, the propped the janitor up into a chair, with his head down on the table. He could be sleeping peacefully. He hid his knife in his belt, rearranged the room, rolled the janitors cart inside, closed the door, and calmly walked down the hall.
Mitch awoke to a sore nose. He was sitting, face down on the War Room table. What am I doing? Then he remembered. The man, the blood, that dead agent and the knife- he had to tell somebody! Then he felt something in his pocket. He pulled it out. It was a note, and a small black radio-like thing. A detonator he realized with shock. Shaking, he unfolded the note. He read:
Sorry, I didn't mean to hit you that hard. I suspect you know what that device in your hand is. It's a detonator, and it will destroy the White House. And it now belongs to you. But before you run to the agents and give it away, consider your position. The executive branch you work for has overstepped it's boundaries. Congress is a rubber stamp. Supreme court justices can be replaced at will. Either directly or indirectly, the government controls all media. Dissenters are derided and ignored. People live in constant fear of terrorist attack, and the government feeds this fear and uses it to gain even more control. You see this. You know this. But you do nothing. Now you have a chance to determine how history will read. You know what to do. Make the right choice.
Mitch carefully refolded the note and placed it in his pocket. He a strange sensation over took him. He felt as though someone had snapped a line, cut him loose, snapped him out of his comfort zone. The world seemed surreal. He felt the smooth plastic of the detonator as he slipped it into his pocket and ,as if in a dream, walked through the door. He strode seemingly aimlessly through the polished marble halls. He strode toward the front entrance. An extra detail of Secret Service agents guarded the door. The protesters out side continued to chant and yell. He opened the door, and was supplied with a hard gaze by one of the agents. But the agent said nothing. Mitch calmly walked outside.
The weather was horrendous. The evening sky was obscured but a preponderance of angry thunder clouds. Sheets of rain fell from thick clouds. Lighting flashed across the sky, as if to symbolize the tensions building in the air. Mitch had no coat, and was instantly drenched. The agents were looking at him with an odd gaze. What was the janitor doing on the lawn? One began to walk forward. Mitch took the detonator out of his pocket and examined his options. Detonate or disarm. Revolution or suppression. Security or terror. "HE'S GOT A DETONATOR!†The agent screamed. Mitch held it up for them to see. The agents panicked. Weapons were drawn, and shouting began. "Get back, or I blow it!†The agents scattered.
The agents moved quickly. The had practiced for this countless times. Their activities were automatic. Robert Wallace headed the detail assigned to the White House. He was doing paperwork when the call came in. "Code six, we have a code six on the lawn†Wallace's heart skipped a beat. A code six was a bomb threat. His face betrayed nothing, however, as he strapped on his bulletproof vest and checked his service pistol. He could hear the radio chatter as the President was evacuated to his helicopter. He hoped they would make it. A voice came over the radio: "Command, this is sniper team 3, we have a shot, should we take it?†His response was instant: "Negative, do not fire. If he manages to detonate and the president is not evacuated...†His voice trailed off at the thought. The first president in decades to be assassinated, on my watch. Not happening. Wallace walked onto the lawn. The suspect was surrounded by agents, but they were keeping their distance. The janitor. Figured. He'd always suspected the man of emptying his garbage can only now and then. Wallace moved toward the man. "Stay back!†The man shouted, and waved the palm sized transmitter. "Where are the bomb teams!?!†Wallace hollered into his radio. "Sir, they're working, but they haven't got anything yet.†The janitor looked unsure of what to do. The agents stood behind cover, guns drawn.
Mitch ignored the agents, lost in his own thoughts. Some part of his brain registered their presence, but he ignored. What do I do now? He agonized over his choices. Then he saw Marine One lift off. The president had been evacuated. Detonate or disarm? He wondered. Then he saw the agents. They were moving in. What was he supposed to do? I don't have the right to decide what is best for the people who live in the world of tomorrow. I can't know what they need, only they know that I can't do this. I can't. No one has that right. He gazed at the device in his hand, and made his choice.
He pressed disarm.
Wallace saw the man press a button on the detonator. At least the president made it out. Was all he could think as his service pistol jerked, again and again, in his hand. Bullet after bullet left his gun, on it's way to the target. He heard the blast, and felt the pressure wave before he saw it. A hammer slammed against his back. The the world went dark.
Mitch saw the fireball, heard the blast felt the bullets tear into his body, and realized he'd been tricked. Tricked. There was no "disarmâ€. He was a fool for believing the man. And now he was going to die.
The explosion was fantastic. The citizens of Washington D.C. were witness to a massive fireball consuming the very heart of American government. The White House exploded into a tremendous fireball, drowning out the sounds of sirens and gunfire. The blast blew straight through the roof, collapsing the ceiling of the building, even as the walls blew outward, shattering the massive marble pillars, annihilating the beautiful fountain on the perfectly manicured lawn. The dust would fill the air for days to come. When the blast wave had finished resounding through the city, the cries of the wounded and dying would proceed fill it. And on what used to be the lawn of the home of the most powerful man in the world, a janitor had been shot 27 times. His name would join the list of the dead.
Wallace stumbled to his feet a surveyed the scene. His agents lay dead or dying around him. His workplace burned behind him, destroyed. The protesters ran for their lives. Cries of the dying filled the air, as what must've been a record number of sirens rang in his ears. I will find who did this, he thought, and when I do, I will kill them.
The protesters scattered when the bomb detonated. James Hatheson surveyed the crowd and realized instantly what was about to happen. They're going to think we're responsible. They're going to kill us all. The shooting started. People screamed as Marines turned their weapons toward the crowd and opened fire. Armored vehicles race for the gate of what had once been the White House, crushing anyone who stood in their way. The demonstrators scattered in a panic. Blood mixed with rain. Lighting flashed over head, and thunder boomed out the beginning of a new, terrible era.
In a dark room, a man takes a phone call. "What is necessary, is now doneâ€, says a voice. The man smiles and hangs up the phone.

Robert Andino was the hot topic all off-season. He was the "big-shot", the man of the year in NY, Tampa and Baltimore. He knocked the Sox out of the playoffs.
This year, he is having a nightmare season. A season that has brought back the reality of him being at best a UTIL guy. However, after looking at some numbers, I'm quite puzzled as to WHY this has happened so drastically.
Check out these numbers:
2011 vs LHP: .306 avg, .325 wOBA in 161 PA
2011 vs RHP: .243 avg, .290 wOBA in 350 PA
2012 vs LHP: .222 avg, .255 wOBA in 68 PA
2012 vs RHP: .238 avg, .277 wOBA in 180 PA
2011 is exacty how his career numbers look, even in the minors. So why is he not hitting LHP in 2012? That was primarily his biggest strong-point for being on this team. He could fill in at SS/2B/3B and hit LHP very well.
Could playing every single day have exposed him that much? I really doubt that. I'm sure it did in some aspect, but that much? It's almost as if he completely changed into a different player.
Andino looks completely different this year to me. Nothing like the player I saw last season, who looked like a decent UTIL guy that could player a couple times a week. Looking more like a bench guy, AAA player so far.

MetsBlog Q&A: Cerrone talks to Sandy about spending
Tonight, Sandy Alderson will be a guest on this season's debut episode of SNY's Mets Hot Stove Report, which airs every Thursday night at 7 pm ET.
Last week, MetsBlog's Matthew Cerrone caught up with Alderson for a quick, five-minute talk about the team's strategy in regards to payroll and spending, which you can read below:
[jbox color="blue"]In addition to talking with Alderson on Mets Hot Stove Report, which airs tonight at 7 pm on SNY, host Kevin Burkhardt will also talk with David Wright about trade rumors, after which he'll speak with Daily News reporters about the team's off-season plans.
Yesterday, new Angels GM Jerry Dipoto told ESPN.com, "We are a high-revenue team and I'm a big believer in acquiring impact players." However, I hear media and fans repeatedly frame payroll as Big Market vs. Small Market. To Alderson and Dipoto it seems to be a matter of High-Revenue vs. Low-Revenue; and Alderson is arguing that (despite being a 'Big-Market team,' as defined my media market and potential tickets sold) the reality is the Mets right now are a weaker revenue team because of how poorly things have turned out over the last few years (be it due to bad contracts, debt, poor planning, injuries and under-performing talent). And so, because of the lack of revenue, Alderson is saying he is only able to spend what he has available to him (which, based on reports, would be something like $110 million on player salaries, which is on par with the Cardinals, Tigers and Rangers, all of whom made the post season last year).
The thing is, it also sounds like he'd be adopting this initially-spend-less, invest-in-the-farm, develop-talent, expand-payroll-by-re-signing-your-own-successful-guys and work-towards-sustainability model regardless of markets, revenues and legal situations because (to him) that is what works in today's game. The only variable is working capital, which he is basing on straight revenue.
Next time, if I get the chance to talk with him again, I'd like to ask about that revenue figure and where it comes from and what else it used for (in addition to player salaries, as I assume it goes to paying down debt and organizational costs, including the draft, paying scouts, etc.).

Topic Title: Digital vs Analogue TV
Topic Summary: Is digital broadcasting all it's meant to bel?

In N.Ireland we're expecting anologue TV transmissions to cease on the 10th Oct. I'm for one am not relishing the prospect for several reasons.
Apart from the extra 200+ programmes consisting mostly of rubbish my concerns in the main are:
1. The transmission time lag is very noticeable and could be anything up to 2secs delay behind analogue.
2. Teletext is cumbersome and slow with the pages slow to load in comparison to analogue plus the time clock is always out.
3.The picture quality is not much better even when the High Definition programmes are broadcast and tend to suffer from interference much more readily which either freezes the screen or pixilates it.
At the time of analogue TV closedown will the digital TV signals be boosted to give better coverage otherwise I should invest in a new antenna system? IET members living in UK mainland should have experienced this.
I don't know a lot about Digital Radio but I understand it's quality is not all it should be either with FM radio winning hands down as regards audio quality. perhaps this has something to do with the restricted bandwidth requirements.
Let's hear your views on this one.
07 October 2012 10:56 PM
200 channels of rubbish? I don't get anything like that many here in England. I only have about 70-odd channels of rubbish to wade through.
The short delay is largely irrelevant while watching TV unless you really want to set your watch by the start of the BBC news. The exception is where you have several TVs on, each with different digital tuners, because each will have a slightly different delay.
I always found the text on analogue TV painfully show as you had to wait until it got round to transmitting the one you wanted. The version on Freeview isn't particularly fast either, but I rarely use it for anything but the weather.
I don't have HD, so can't comment on that. If you get frequent interference or drop-out then there are two things to look at. The first is a better aerial, and the second is to hunt down sources of electrical interference. Domestic appliances with thermostats can be a particular problem when they turn off.
They should be re-shuffling the channel allocations and boosting the signal once the analogue one is turned off. You may find that any interference problems fix themselves at that point.
DAB digital radio is notorious for its low bit-rate and poor sound quality compared with good FM reception. Strangely, radio on Freeview has a higher bit-rate and so better quality than DAB.
S P Barker BSc PhD MIET
09 October 2012 07:01 AM
Yep, digital is only as good as the space it takes up.
So to get more in, the quality goes down. They made a slight mistake with Freeview as the sound bit rate is almost double the 'high digital quality sound' of DAB.
Freeview HD is about 2 seconds later than Freeview SD which is about 2 slower than analogue.
I'm not sure they thought all this digital stuff through, as we have had to retune about half a dozen times (including the one on the 17th as the numbering is wrong!!) due to changes in assignments etc. It wouldn't be quite so bad, but we use an old T1 system, whereas almost everyone else uses the T2 standard (as used for HD).
Just remember live FM radio is better than most CDs, recorded FM 'record' quality and most digital is like medium wave without the drifting. No wonder they want to phase out FM radio. Like most things now, reduce down to the lowest standard that most will accept.
09 October 2012 07:44 PM
I think the 200 freeview TV channels count was an overestimate right enough as a lot are blank. I wish I could block off the adult ones some way.
If I require a better TV antenna to receive digital, I presume I could replace my yagi with one with a better gain; i.e more directors. However I notice that most of my neighbours to receive digital use either what looks like a 14 element log periodic or a 12 element yagi crossed x element type antenna which should have similar gain to a yagi. This seems strange but unnecessary given that digital TV is transmitted on the same frequency band as analogue. I can see this on a retune. In our region it's around 750-820Mhz. The transmitted signal would still be transmitted using the same type of polarisation I take it; in my case horizontal. Or have they started to use some other method?
I also notice a difference on the latency depending on the model of TV Im watching. I notice there is less delay on newer models which must be to do with their faster processing ability. However a 2-5s delay is unacceptable e.g'I could depend on the BBC1 Teletext clock to synchronise certain little experimental projects I had in my shack now I need to used my satnav if I want a reliable time signal. Of course there are other ways and means but the BBC1 teletext was the handiest for me.
I wonder is there similar sorts of latency issues with digital comms such as Tetra. I surmise that's why aircraft continue to use good old a.m for comms because of its simplicity and reliability.
Talking about broadcast radio quality, I have driven through various regions in my car and in certain rural areas all I could receive were some stations on MW. FM had all but disappeared and as most car radios don't have long wave there was nothing to listen to but my old CDs. I presume DAD radio when mobile is an even worse proposition with reports of fading after just 5 miles of coverage.

You can always delete any channels you don't want, but do it after next Wed (17th) as one again a retune is required owing to a 'program renumbering' .
Considering all the time in the gestation period, then someone should have got it right from day one.
TETRA suffers the same delays in the set up - like all trunking systems. You can see the effects of delay by just watching outside news items with all the head nodding while they wait to hear the question etc.
Polarisation is mainly horizontal as they have reduced the number of 'in-fill. transmitters (don't laugh, lack of available frequencies) which generally are vertical.
We have noticed that newer TV receivers are more sensitive, but much slower on decode.

Most Freeview boxes have a "favourites" system so you can ignore unwanted channels. You may even be able to set a PIN to block some channels - check the manual.
Is your existing aerial a wideband one, or one tuned to the specific frequency range used for analogue TV in your area? The modern "digital" aerials are all wideband, as they have moved all the channels around.

yap. you can set only your favorite channel. It save your money also. here you only use a specific frequency range. A converter box is used to convert this digital to analog.

Steve Pritzker, Psychology
Steve PritzkerPsychology Faculty
For two decades, Steve Pritzker wrote and/or produced almost 200 television shows – including 8 episodes of the Mary Tyler Moore Show. Success should have made him happy – but by the 1990s he found himself in a malaise.
He asked himself why … why wasn't he pleased with his success?… and realized that the answer was simple: he didn't want to keep doing the same things over and over again. "I was in a rut, and I wasn't interested in repeating myself," he remembers.
He started looking around for other things to do. UCLA hired him to teach a class on comedy writing – and he discovered a question that would change the course of his life. "Many beginning comedy writers just gave me imitation after imitation, writing the same things they'd seen. Very few students had an original idea," he remembers. "And this challenged me with the same question I had faced as a writer – How do you inspire people to be original? Under what conditions do they come up with something new instead of settling for the same old answers?"
He started reading research on creativity and realized he didn't have the knowledge to interpret research. He already had a Master's in Psychology, so he went back to school to get his PhD at USC, expecting to focus on creativity training for companies and creativity coaching. But teaching undergraduates reinforced the lesson of his comedy class: he enjoyed working with students: "I really got into teaching," he said. "The whole process appealed to me." Once again, his life changed.
The search for answers regarding the nature of creativity led him to become one of the world's leading experts in the study of creativity - and it's a question that has global implications: how do we get people, governments, countries that are accustomed to doing the same things year after year, to come up with new answers to their most intractable problems?
"It's obvious the world's in a hell of a mess, and we have to find some new answers, not just to the little questions, but to the big questions," he says. "That means we have to stimulate people's creativity at every level, tap everyone's potential to come up with new answers. You can't do anything more important than inspiring the next generation to come up with new approaches to problems that we've failed to solve."
Creativity ties into every aspect of human life, and so Steve came to teach at Saybrook because it allowed him the freedom to pursue his research wherever it lead him. "The wonderful thing about Saybrook is that you work across disciplines with people who have a wide variety of interests," he says. "You get exposed to ideas, you find opportunities, that you never would have the chance to pursue in a more traditional setting."
Today he's the Director of Saybrook's Master's of Psychology with an Emphasis on Creativity which is the only program of it's type in the country. He is also Director of The Creativity Studies Certificate and the Consciousness and Spirituality concentration – and says Saybrook offers the kind of programs he wished had been available when he was a graduate student.
"I don't know any other institution that has the depth of faculty that we have in creativity, or approaches it the way we do, from a humanistic perspective," he says. "It's a vital program, an innovative program that deals with every aspect of creativity, that invites the students in to be a part of its development. That's truly unique."

This is one of those times. And I'll up the ante of a dozen roses and twelve pounds of nuts to also include washing her car and doing her landscaping work for a year if I'm wrong. But it's over. I could see a direct to DVD movie a la what Stargate: SG1 did with "Ark of the Truth". BTW, I haven't been pimping that DVD on our site largely because it wasn't very good. I mean it was OK, and it was good to see the first team in action again, and it was nice to get closure on the story, but it wasn't very good.
Ok, back to Jericho. It's not coming back. The fat lady has sung, only Carol Barbee must have in the earplugs or, she's like me and has her iPod earbuds in at all times and is effectively saying to the world, "La la la la la, I'm not listening to you!" Sometimes that's a pretty grand thing to do. Thank you, Steve Jobs! Best earbuds ever. Just the generic ones that come with the iPod and the iPhone - none of the "cost extra" stuff, even the ones sold by Apple are better in my estimation.
It could well be that in 10 years from now, Barbee will still be saying, "we're looking at doing something...." But just because you declare something isn't over doesn't mean it isn't. Combing the net and making a few phone calls it would seem that apparently the budget for Jericho was about twice that of your average show being made on the SciFi channel. I would be much more optimistic if it had been 25% more expensive or even 50%, but when you get to the 100% level, that's not good.
It would be different if it started on the SciFi channel at half the budget and then migrated to broadcast - that's a whole lot easier to pull off.
While I am perhaps not the "average" Jericho fan, I don't think I'm alone in thinking that if Skeet Ulrich and Lennie James aren't part of the ensemble, I won't be watching no matter where they put the show. I'd prefer it if they could keep Esai Morales as well - I liked the Beck character a lot.
And here's where the problem comes in. The show has been cancelled. No new deal has been done.
What's bound to happen soon: Lennie James, Esai Morales, and Skeet Ulrich are going to get, you guessed it, JOB OFFERS. Because they're good actors. I think Brad Beyer and Alicia Coppola (no relation to Francis Ford Coppola, so she's not getting props simply because GF1 and GF2 are like my favorite movies of all time) were great, too.
Skeet, Lennie , Esai, Brad, Alicia and all the rest of the cast: they can't exist on the nuts fans will send them. They have to eat, and live, and they like their craft I imagine. Especially in the cases of Esai, Lennie and Skeet, they're not going to want to take a huge pay cut. And if they're cut out of the show altogether? There is no show.
One thing that is absolutely, definitely, one hundred percent NOT going to happen is for Jericho to move to the CW. I know I myself pitched that a while back, but it's not happening. CBS has operational control over the CW (and Warner, although it gave CBS this control is now not happy about it apparently). CBS called "game over" for Jericho. If it was going to wind up on the C-dub, they'd have aired the cliffhanger and then announced with the 'voice of God', "Catch an all new Jericho next fall on the CW!" That's not what happened though. What happened is CBS cancelled the show altogether. The CW is not happening for Jericho.
I don't believe the SciFi channel, or any other network will either. I understand that like the fans, Carol Barbee wishes this were not the case. I don't blame her. But as Patrick Stewart once uttered in the role of Jean-Luc Picard, "Wishing for a thing does not make it so."
To stay with the Jean-Luc theme, resistance is futile. Jericho, sad as it is. Is over. Even though Barbee hasn't copped to that yet.
Ms. Barbee, if it turns out I'm wrong, in another incarnation I spent 7 years working on a golf course. I'm pretty good with a lawnmower.
For fans who don't care that wishing for a thing doesn't make it so, you can join Carol Barbee in her wishful thinking by listening to her interview with Shaun Daily on Blog Talk Radio.
Farewell, Jericho, you will be missed! But it's over. It won't break my heart to be wrong here, even if it means I'm going to have to redevelop calloused hands. But, obviously, I don't think I'm wrong.
But as Gorman loves to say, "Often wrong, never in doubt..." I do live up to that pretty well, and will be the first to admit that as much as I love speculating and prognosticating, and as often as I am right...often right isn't always right. But I feel strongly enough that I'm willing to risk the flowers, nuts, car washing and landscaping services.

In July, a project manager for the Android revealed that Google was planning on launching a music store during the release of the Android 3.0. Since then, more details have come about regarding this new cell phone. Basically, it has undergone significant UI retooling, which helps improve the phone's appearance. The interface is also more user-friendly, as there will be new notification bars, icons and scrolling effects. When all these changes are put together, users will have an easier time navigating through their cell phone. Such improvement will be a godsend, especially considering the amount of Google apps that will be provided with the phone. With easier navigation, these programs become more accessible--even for novice Android users.
Video chat and VOIP calling are two additional features that will be available with the Android 3.0 cell phone. The video chat will be incorporated into the phone's operating system. It may also be integrated with FaceTime, though previous failures with video chat makes this an uncertainty (as Google may not want to take the risk). The company does not feel this way about VOIP. In fact, they plan on integrating the technology into their Google Voice service. If this can be successfully implemented, Android users could make cell phone calls at a significantly reduced cost. Depending on the carrier, some calls might even be free. The same would also be true for Android tablets. With VOIP technology, they could make phone calls without having to rely on cellular connections. Again, for users this means less money has to be paid out.
In conclusion, the Android 3.0 looks quite promising. The improved graphics as well as the video chat and VOIP integration puts the phone a step ahead of its competition. Fans might have even more to look forward to as the phone nears its release date.
PureMobile carries a wide range of unlocked cell phones and Android phones such as the Unlocked Sony Ericsson Xperia X10, Motorola Milestone Droid, LG EVE

By LES BOWENSun Advocate reporter
For many families in Carbon County, the next step after putting the Thanksgivings turkey in the fridge and hitting the Black Friday sales is getting a Christmas tree.
While many families have artificial trees or get their trees from tree lots, many families observe the tradition of going into the forest and finding the perfect tree.
Searching for the perfect holiday symbol can be a fun and recreational activity, but tree cutters should be aware of restrictions in place for cutting evergreens on federal lands.
The United States Forest Service oversees a program for cutting trees within national forests.
Similarly, the U.S. Bureau of Land Management oversees tree cutting on public parcels the agency administers.
Permits are required and specific guidelines must be followed. Information regarding guidelines and allowed cutting areas is available at the time permits are purchased.
Whether a tree is purchased from a tree lot or cut in a forest, finding the perfect tree is a daunting task. Michael Kuhns, forestry specialist for Utah State University Extension offers the following tips for finding the right tree:
Before heading out to find a tree, homeowners are encouraged to measure the area in their home where the tree will be placed.
People should measure both width and ceiling height. In addition. local residents should remember that several inches will be cut from the butt end, but the stand will add several inches to the tree's overall height.
To ensure that the tree will remain evergreen through the holidays, check for freshness and moistness. This is particularly important when purchasing a cut tree from a tree lot. Once needles become dry, they usually stay dry - even when the tree is placed in a stand with water. The best way to ensure that a tree is fresh is to buy from a local grower or from a known and trusted retailer. Trees shipped to Christmas tree lots from out of state may be fresh, but some can be old and dry.
Gently pull on several needles to check for freshness. If many come off, look for another tree. At a tree lot, lift the tree and strike the butt end on the ground. If many needles fall from the twigs, the tree is probably not fresh. Buyers can also break a few needles to see if they are moist and fragrant. Don't worry if old unattached needles have accumulated inside the crown. Though these needles can be messy, they do not indicate a poor tree and can easily be removed. Fir and pine trees hold needles better than spruce trees.
Check the color. Some trees at tree lots are sprayed with blue-green dye. Though the dye can be harmless, it can be hiding a dry tree.
Be sure tree limbs are strong enough to support lights and ornaments. Limbs should also be well placed to give the tree a pleasing shape. Minor defects in the tree can often be turned toward a wall and can also lower the purchase price.
Once a fresh tree is brought home, re-cut a thin section from the butt end and place the tree in a pail of water. Prior to decorating a tree, keep the tree outside and away from sun and wind so it does not become dry. When it's time to decorate the tree, cut the butt end again if it has been stored more than three or four days. This cut section can be hung with a ribbon and made into an ornament by marking the rings with significant years in your family's history. Most sections will have seven to 10 growth rings.
Once inside, the tree should be placed in a sturdy stand that holds at least one gallon of water. A fresh tree can lose this much or more water a day. To avoid Christmas tree fires, place the tree away from heaters, furnace vents, televisions and other heat sources.
Lights on the tree should be UL-approved and protected by an inline fuse. Small pinpoint lights work well because they stay cool. Don't be sentimental about old Christmas tree lights. Old lights with cracked insulation or loose sockets should be discarded. Turn lights off when the tree is unattended. Flammable decorations should not be used on a Christmas tree with electric lights. Candles should never be used to light a Christmas tree or wreath.
A fresh tree that is watered daily can stay moist and safe for several weeks. If a tree is displayed in a public building, it should be kept no longer than 15 days and should be treated with a fire retardant solution.
Christmas trees can be useful even after they are taken down. Trees can be placed in the yard to add greenery and act as a bird haven until spring. They can also be used for firewood or chopped and used as mulch.
Choose-and-cut trees are available from Christmas tree growers throughout Utah. Use the same selection tips to buy a choose-and-cut tree as you would a pre-cut tree. Some growers will cut the tree for you, and others will have you cut your own.
Beyond Kuhns' suggestions, certain guidelines are applicable for those cutting trees on public lands.
When cutting trees in national forests, individuals should clear snow around the base of the tree. Trees must be cut close to the ground, leaving stumps no taller than six inches from ground level. Tree topping is strictly prohibited. Permits must be attached to cut trees prior to leaving the cutting area.
In selecting an area, individuals should select a site at least 200 feet from a road, campground, picnic area, administrative site, summer home area or riparian area, such as a lake or stream. Other prohibited areas are indicated on maps which can be obtained from the national forest office at the time a permit is purchased.
Further, the USFS reminds those with permits to be prepared for winter weather. As permit holders enter remote areas, they should be prepared for slick roads and have chains and a four wheel drive vehicle. Snow machines, cross country skis and snow shoes may be useful in getting from vehicles to the actual cutting site. Permit holders are also advised to let friends or family know where they are going and when they plan to return.
Those entering remote areas should be prepared with extra clothing, gloves, boots, water and food. They should also carry additional equipment such as a flashlight, chains, shovel, first aid kit and waterproof matches. Finally, permit holders should bring a hatchet, ax or handsaw and a rope to secure their tree.
Guidelines for cutting trees on BLM land are available at the time permits are purchased. Permits are $5 each and can be purchased at the Price field office, located at 125 South 600 West. If individuals are interested in obtaining a permit in areas not administered by the Price office, they are encouraged to contact the appropriate BLM field office. Permits are limited to one per family. However, up to three additional permits may be purchased if different names and addresses are provided for each permit.
