The long-awaited Scott's Hill and Farnsworth synchronous and voting repeater system is now online!
The Scott's Hill repeater is linked full-time to the 146.620 Scott's Hill repeater with the two functioning together as a single, wide-coverage repeater.
This system combines the coverage of the Farnsworth Peak repeater with that of Scott's Hill, acting as a single repeater! These two repeaters are now linked and operating on the same frequency so you can seamlessly go between Farnsworth and Scott's Hill coverage without having to change frequency. For a few more details about the way the system works, go to the 146.620 Synchronous/Voting Repeater System page.
The Farnsworth Peak 146.62 repeater of one of several repeaters that UARC maintains. This repeater is located on Farnsworth Peak, on the Oquirrhs mountains, the mountain chain along the west side of the Salt Lake valley. Farnsworth peak is also home to KSL-TV and most of the FM radio and TV stations that service the Salt Lake City area.
Repeater coverage and operation:
Repeater coverage - Farnsworth Peak:
Via Mobile (50 watts, 1/4 wave or better): This repeater covers the Utah and Salt Lake Valleys, south along I-15 as far south as Nephi, west along I-80 as far past Wendover, Nevada, North past Malad, Idaho, and spotty coverage East into higher parts of the Wasatch range.
Via Handie-Talkie: Good coverage in Salt Lake and southern Davis counties. Requires better-than stock antenna for solid HT coverage from Utah and northern Davis county. Spotty coverage from Ogden, depending on location.
If you are east of the Wasatch Front - in the Park City, Heber, Coalville areas or are on I-80, or if you are up Mill Creek, Big or Little Cottonwood canyons, your coverage is likely being provided by the Scott's Hill repeater.
For a visual coverage map showing where both this repeater and Scott's Hill cover, see the 146.620 coverage map page.
This repeater is also linked to the 146.62 repeater on Scott's Hill. The two repeaters operate as a single repeater, on the same frequency, providing coverage from the Nevada, Idaho and Wyoming borders in northern Utah and beyond.
This repeater does not have an autopatch or any other user-accessible control function. It does have the typical timeout timer: The repeater will cease transmitting after reception of a continuous carrier of more than about 3.5 minutes duration. This timer is reset when the repeater's carrier drops.
When using this (or any repeater!) leave a long enough pause between transmissions so that others may be able to break in. Who knows: they may need to report an accident, or tell their spouse that they will be home in 30 seconds...
Again, this repeater is linked full-time with the Scott's Hill 146.62 repeater. Since both Farnsworth and Scott's are on the same frequency, you do not have to even touch your radio as you drive from the coverage area of one into the other!

About the 146.620 Farnsworth Peak repeater
The '02 receive site. The two loops to the right of the tower are for the new receive antenna installed in October of 2009 while the older J-pole on the top of the tower is the "standby" receive antenna.

Because of its location, Farnsworth Peak is one of the best transmitting and receiving sites along the Wasatch Front: Its location near the north end of the Oquirrh Mountain range west of Salt Lake City has a clear view in that direction as well as to the west and south into Utah county. Because of this, it is heavily used for transmitting radio, television, and other services. In fact, the Farnsworth peaks have most of the Salt Lake FM broadcast and television stations!
Being such a good transmitting site is not without its problems: The multitude of transmitters on a myriad of frequencies has caused the noise floor of the site to increase, thereby reducing the effective sensitivity of any receiver on-site - especially at VHF. Because of this, when the site was surveyed for amateur repeater use back in 1979 it was noted that down the mountain some distance (about 400 feet) there was enough isolation from the transmitters to adequately reduce the noise floor. When the repeater was finally built, a remote receive site was thus established.
It might have occurred to the reader that the '62 repeater is different from "most" repeaters that one runs across: The Transmitter and Receiver are in different locations! Normally, both the transmitter and receiver share not only the same antenna, but the same feedline, duplexer, and cabinet. While that could have been done in this case, the intrinsic noise level of this site would make receive performance suffer. For this reason, the receiver is located located at that aforementioned site - some 400 feet north of the complex, down the hill some distance and this site can be seen in figure 3, 4 and 8. Also, read "A Brief History of the '62 Repeater", below.

At the main Farnsworth complex is the repeater cabinet as seen in Figure 5. One thing that every repeater needs (in order to be legal, at least) is a means of controlling it. This could be something as simple as a switch (if the repeater is, say, located at someone's house - or some other location that is staffed continuously) or a telephone line that allows remote control. One of the most popular ways to provide repeater control, though, is with control receiver. The '62 repeater complies with this rule by having not only a switch that can be flipped (it turns out that Farnsworth Peak is staffed all of the time anyway) but it has a 222 MHz control receiver.
The repeater controller provides functions such as the timeout timer, the ID and its timer, audio switching and squelch control, as well as decoding the control sequences received on the control receiver. One of the unique features of the '62 repeater is the ability to remotely set the squelch of the receiver - a big improvement over having to drive up there just to turn a knob, or trying to convince one of the already-busy staff members up there to do it for you
Another device is the "Voting Controller." This box can accept signals from up to eight receivers - all listening to the repeater's input frequency. By comparing the signals with each other, it can tell which one is the "best" signal - something it does by analyzing the amount of noise on it - and then selects it to be transmitted, automatically. One of these receivers is, of course, the one in Figure 4 at Farnsworth, but the other receiver is on Scott's Hill and it arrives via a 70cm link radio (in the very top position in the rack.) When transmitting, the same signal being sent out on 146.620 from Farnsworth is simulcast on 146.620 on Scott's Hill as well.
Connected to the exciter is a gizmo called a "Disciplined Oscillator." While this sounds fancy, it's purpose in life is mainly to keep the 2-meter transmitter precisely on frequency and it does this by locking to high-stability oven-controlled oscillator. Why the need for frequency accuracy and stability? Because the transmitter on Farnsworth operates on the same frequency as the one on Scott's! By having the two frequencies set precisely with respect to each other they don't "fight" each other nearly as much, allowing one to go from the coverage area of one site's transmitter to another with minimal interference.
The audio and keying lines from the controller find their way to the exciter (a fancy word for "low power transmitter", in case you were wondering...) The exciter generates the 146.62 transmit signal and modulates the audio on it, but its ultimate output power is just a couple of watts, so there is a 100 watt power amplifier that is used to bring the power up to a more respectable level. With the antennas being used, this 100 watt level is just about right to allow the the repeater to be heard as well as it can hear.
To have too much transmit power would make the repeater an "alligator " (all mouth and no ears) while running too little power would make it an "elephant" (ears too big...) Either situation in extreme make the repeater less pleasant to use as too few people can get into an "alligator" repeater while too few people can reliably hear a repeater that is an "elephant." Clearly, if one has to choose between an "alligator" or an "elephant" one should always pick the "elephant" situation as it is more common to have people who have trouble getting into a repeater than hearing it!
If Farnsworth Peak is anything, it is busy - at least RF-wise. It is host to, by far, the largest concentration of broadcast transmitters in the state and this means that there is a tremendous amount of energy floating around in the air. Ironically, even though it is a great site for transmitting, it is a terrible site for receiving - at least on 2 meters and it is because of this that the receive site is remotely located. (See the pictures above, and the history, below.) To keep ourselves in good graces with the landlord, as well as to protect our own equipment and to radiate a clean signal, the transmitter has several cavities on its output and it is these cavities act as very narrow filters to pass only the transmit frequency.
There is also a circulator located between the transmitter and the cavities. This device allows the transmitter's power to flow from the transmitter to the antenna feedline, but any power that comes back from the antenna (such as that resulting from an SWR or other transmitters on other frequencies being picked up by the transmit antenna) are sent into a dummy load. This keeps the transmitter from every seeing a bad load - which might happen if the antenna were to be iced-over or damaged - which could destroy the amplifier. More important that protecting the transmitter, it also keeps the signals from other transmitters from getting into the power amplifier and causing spurious signals from being created - something that we wouldn't want to have happen!

For many years the '62 transmit antenna was located on the old, wooden tram building and at the time it was a J-Pole made from galvanized pipe - a material that was known to be able to withstand the rigors of the winters. Much later, the site was expanded, requiring that the building for the now-abandoned tramway be torn down and the '62 transmit antenna was replaced with a MaxRad whip/fiberglass antenna and relocated to its current position. After a few years, the whip on the MaxRad disappeared - probably fatigued and broken by the wind (a common problem with that particular antenna, apparently...) and it was replaced with a copper-pipe J-Pole.
This antenna served well for a number of years until, early in 2009, it was noted by users and direct measurement that signals from Farnsworth were weaker - by as much as 8dB in some Salt Lake Valley locations. After determining that the power amplifier was not the issue, it was decided that both the aging feedline and the J-Pole be replaced. Fortunately, some dual folded-dipole antennas had become available and one of these was installed in the fall of 2010, restoring most of the decreased signal level that had been noted.
What had caused this lower signal level? We had, in fact, noted that the feedline had degraded - particularly the short jumper on the J-Pole itself. While that would explain at least some of the change in signal level it's also possible that there were other effects caused by new "clutter" (added masts, cable raceways, etc.) on site that might cause some blockage of the signal in certain directions - mostly toward the Salt Lake Valley itself. This "new" antenna - being physically larger than the original J-Pole and thus radiating signal from a larger area - should be somewhat less-affected by such blockage - plus, it has about 3dB higher gain (that is, twice the signal is radiated) as compared to the J-Pole - which won't hurt, either!
A brief history of the '62 repeater by Gordon Smith, K7HFV
The idea of a repeater on Farnsworth Peak began to emerge shortly after UARC's success in putting the 146.76 repeater on the air in the mid 70's. Some hams who had had experience in the television industry called Farnsworth "the best site in the state of Utah." The 9000-foot mountain sits near the north end of the Oquirrh range which is just west of the Salt Lake valley. It certainly appeared that it had a wonderful view of the valley and a chance of getting into Logan.
One sour note kept coming out, however. There were reports that the site had bad noise and intermodulation problems. So a party was assembled to go to the mountain and check it out. Permission was obtained from KSL-TV, owners of the site, to make a visit, and a spectrum analyzer was obtained. The party headed for the 9000-foot level.
They found that the reports of receiving problems, unfortunately, had been correct. As well as big spikes that the analyzer showed popping up randomly from intermodulation products, it showed a lot of "grass," a low level noise floor that would surely mask any weak signals. On the positive side, the view from the site certainly looked promising. The whole Salt Lake valley was laid out before us; most of Utah valley was easily visible; we could look straight into Grantsville; and the view to the northwest, across the Great Salt Lake toward Idaho, seemed to go on forever before disappearing in the haze.
In the months that followed, a partial solution appeared when one of the local hams offered access to nearby Kessler Peak, just north of Farnsworth. Although not quite as high as Farnsworth, this peak had no television station and probably did not suffer from the noise problem. It had its own set of disadvantages, though. Space was severely limited, so only a small antenna could be accommodated. Management concerns were such that we would be able to access the site only when the ham that worked there was available.
We thought a hybrid arrangement could be devised. Why not put the transmitter for the new repeater and its logic on Farnsworth, and put the receiver on Kessler? We could take advantage of the lower noise level on Kessler and the greater accessibility of Farnsworth at the same time. The rough spot here was that some sort of link would have to be built to send the receiver audio from Kessler to Farnsworth.
We started procuring equipment for the new repeater, keeping in mind that transmitter and receiver might be separated in the final configuration. About this time, Dirk Ostermiller, W7KCC, the club's repeater engineer, who had spearheaded the '76 project, found that his time was overcommitted. He resigned and left the Farnsworth project to others to complete.
Randy Finch, K7SL, agreed to take the position, and started assembling the new equipment into a working repeater. Before long, a new 146.61 MHz repeater appeared on the air from Randy's home in Magna. It came on just in time to be announced at the 1979 UARC Christmas Banquet. (The switch to 146.62 came a few years later when Utah adopted 20 kHz spacing, the plan pioneered by Washington and Oregon.)
By the time we got that far, another monkey wrench seemed to have fallen in the works. (We thought we could blame it on Murphy, but it wasn't even close to Field Day.) Other commercial installations had consumed most of the remaining space at the Kessler site, and it was no longer available to us.
After some amount of hair-tearing and carpet-pacing, the idea of a split site at Farnsworth was born. We contacted people at KSL to see if they would go along with the idea of letting us just plop our receiver outdoors somewhere away from the building (and the noise). They told us their property ended on the south just a short distance from the TV buildings, but it extended quite some distance to the north, and something north of the building might just work out.
It would have cost us too much to do Class 1 wiring to bring power down to the remote site. So placing the entire repeater there was not practical. But just a receiver could run happily on 12V at 100 ma. So a split-site repeater seemed to be the answer.
Dale, WB7FID, at the end of an "all-night" repeater work session, hanging off the transmit antenna's tower. That's the sunrise in the background!
Summers are short at 9000 feet. Usually, by June, it is possible to clear the remaining snow from the road and declare the road open for travel. Snow often closes it again by October. We waited impatiently for June of 1980 and clear roads to come along. Finally the time came. Randy and the author went to the mountain taking a mobile 2-meter rig, a Gel-Cell, a 1/4-wave whip, and a cavity. We hooked it all up just north of the TV station buildings. Sure enough, an S-9 noise level.
Next, we started walking down the ridge to the north, away from the buildings. The S-meter started to drop, just as we had hoped. It finally reached a zero reading about 400 feet north of KSL's northernmost building, the tram shack. We ceremoniously announced, "The receiver goes here!"
Of course, declaring it so and making it happen were two different things. Many man-hours from a large number of volunteers were required to finally place a repeater on the mountain. Steve Kleinlein, WC7G, built a power supply. Larry Jacobs, WA7ZBO, built two J-pole antennas. Russ Michaelson, N7SM, built rack-mounts for several pieces of equipment. Steve Berlin, WB7VCI, built the audio board for the controller. Don Richardson, WA7QKF, built the logic board. Mac MacDonald, WA7SVN, built an ID board. Randy built many of the remaining pieces and coordinated numerous work parties on the mountain and in his basement.
Work continued. Copper for a ground system was obtained. Burial cable that could be used to connect the transmitter site to the receiver site was located. A rack was found to use for the transmitter end of the repeater.
A space was negotiated with the KSL staff for the transmitter. It was in a dark corner on the upper level of the old tram building. The brake-release arm was conveniently located where one could sit on it to work on the repeater. Only a thin layer of metal separated us from the elements outside, and this metal had a number of holes in it. We would have to provide some rain and snow protection for our rack. A plastic cooler cover finally met this need.
As bizarre as this space was in some ways, it had some features that made it just what we needed. It was at the end of the KSL buildings closest to our chosen receiver site, and it was not likely that any commercial clients would be competing with us for it.
The solution to one problem fell into our laps unexpectedly. A gentleman had donated an old commercial repeater to the club. He had planned to use it at a particularly good mountain site. Before he got his repeater on the air, however, his work took him out of the country for several years. When he returned, he found that someone had already put a repeater on at the Snowbird ski resort, so he donated his equipment to UARC. It was old tube gear and the receiver did not have a particularly good reputation, so we thanked him kindly and put the unit in storage.
But as the construction of the Farnsworth repeater proceeded we remembered one very useful feature of the donated repeater: it had a weatherproof rack! Soon a worthy recipient for the transmitter and receiver strips was found and their rack became the new home of the Farnsworth receiver.
How time flies when you're having fun! There was snow on the ground at Farnsworth again by the time we were ready to erect a tower for the remote receiver. It took several weekend trips to get a hole dug, and about 15 hams to actually erect the tower. We had to carry up, not only the cement, sand, and gravel, but also the water. The final fifty feet of the journey was uphill and had to be done on foot.
A few more weekends were devoted to burying the cable that would connect the two sites. It was a multi-pair cable and the design called for one pair to carry 12-volt power down to the receiver, another to bring audio back up, and a third to bring squelch information up. It sounded easy enough to dig a trench, but most of the ground turned out to be not soil, but stones on top of bedrock. We settled, frequently, for just piling rocks on top of the cable.
A view of the current UARC TX antenna farm. The '62 transmit antenna is the dual-loop dipole along the right side of the tower while the small J-Pole (between the 2-meter antenna and the light) is the Scott's Hill link antenna: The 2 meter and link antennas aren't really very close to each other - they just look that way in the picture!
Other trips were made to get equipment up to the mountain. On one of these a great clatter arose as the vehicle pulled out from in front of Randy's house in Magna. It seems that the exciter and receiver had been placed, temporarily, on the roof of the the Jeep while it was being loaded. Somehow, they never got moved to more permanent storage, and were thrown out on the asphalt as the Jeep started to move.
Perhaps dropping the RF gear on the road is a necessary part of the initiation of UARC repeaters. Several years earlier, the '76 repeater had been carried to its site in a truck supplied by the National Guard. Part way up the 30% grades, the whole rack fell out.
The moment of truth for the Farnsworth project finally came on a Saturday night in the fall of 1980 when two different teams worked at hooking up the cables at the transmitter and receiver sites. The power and squelch pairs had to be connected with correct polarity, but no particular color standard had been agreed to by the two ends. We figured we would just hook it up any old way, take some voltmeter readings, and then reverse whichever pairs were wrong. The crew at the receiver end was ready first, but couldn't do much until the transmitter crew fed them some power down the cable. So they waited impatiently, making occasional wisecracks on simplex. Finally, the transmitter team got ready to call on '61 simplex and announce that power was on. They never got the chance to make the call.
Suddenly, the repeater was on the air, and there was a station using it from Snowville, Utah, near the Idaho border. Magically, the right polarities had been found on the first try. Why someone in Snowville happened to be trying the 01/61 repeater pair at that moment is still mysterious. But, the repeater was on the air! It wasn't the best-sounding repeater in the world. In fact, its audio was troubled by mysterious hums, squeals, and bursts of audio from the FM broadcast stations on the site. But after another hour of cable routing, bypassing, and level adjustment, it began to sound like a usable repeater.
It's very traditional for new repeaters not to make it through their first night. This one survived its first night, but its first day was a different story. When things came up to daytime temperatures, it became clear that the squelch was too loose, and the repeater was transmitting noise for long periods. The author and Scott Bidstrup, WA7UZO, made a trip and cured the problem.
After that, the repeater ran happily through the winter. Usage was light, but gradually, a few people began using the machine. We thought our job was done.
The real excitement didn't start until late spring when the first thunderstorm came by and the repeater promptly went off the air. We went to the mountain and repaired some power supply components and added some surge suppression. The next week another storm came by and the repeater was off again. We went to the mountain and replaced some cable-receiver components and added more surge protection.
Soon, it became the joke that '61 was a better weather predictor than the Weather Service. It went off the air at the first hint of a storm coming in from the west. This seemed unfair, because, by this time, we had beefed up the circuitry to the point the repeater only went off every second or third thunderstorm. Sometimes it would be on for over two weeks at a stretch. However, some of the IC sockets were wearing out because the parts in them had been changed too many times.
Our problem seemed to revolve around the fact that a 10,000-amp lightning stroke parallel to our cable (the one connecting the transmitter site to the receiver site) could easily induce enough voltage to destroy the ICs at both ends. We finally realized we had to convert to a new religion and espouse a creed the phone company had known about for years: The way to minimize induced voltages in a balanced pair is to make sure there is no ground reference. The cable pairs would have to float and have no ground connection.
To practice our new belief, we had to make sure everything that went from one site to the other had to couple through transformers at both ends. That, in turn, meant everything had to be a-c. That was no problem for the audio -- it was a-c already. For the power, it meant we had to wind a couple of unusual transformers and feed the line with 60 Hz. The hardest one to convert was the squelch line which carried DC proportional to the receiver's noise detector voltage.
Just a little too sure of our abilities, we decided we could do the conversion one evening after work. I breadboarded an op-amp circuit to convert the squelch circuit's DC to a pulse-width modulated signal. Randy rounded up transformers and built a more permanent model of the circuit. We enlisted Dale Jarvis, WB7FID, and headed for the mountain. We didn't leave until daylight was in the east, a scheduling feature we had neglected to tell Dale about. The famous "modification 42" was complete.
The repeater was much more reliable, now, reaching a rating of 6 MTSBF (mean thunderstorms between failures). But it took modifications 43 and 44, involving huskier receiver and driver transistors, respectively, before it really settled down. Thus, by the end of 1981, the thunderstorm problem was pretty well behind us
A telephoto shot of the receive site during the winter. The '02 receive site is the one on the left.
Some of the changes and enhancements over the years included:
Change of the receiving antenna to a 4-element collinear
Change of frequency from 146.61 to 146.62 MHz to match the new Utah bandplan
Increase of amplifier power from 35 to 120 watts
Change of transmitter location to a building with concrete walls
Change of squelch pulse detector from the original analog circuit to a digital design
Addition of squelch remote-control
Addition of a GaAsFET preamplifier to the receiver
Move of the intersite cable to conduit (This solved the problem causing the majority of failures at the time: porcupines chewing into the cable.)
More recently, other changes have been:
Rebuilding the original 4-element collinear - which had been struck by lightning and was simply wearing out.
Replacing the rebuilt 4-element collinear with a J-Pole, as the rebuilt antenna just didn't work right for some reason.
Eventually installing a 2-dipole array with a null toward the transmitter site to reduce its noise contribution and improve effective receive sensitivity. The J-Pole remains as a "backup" antenna - just in case...
Modifying the original controller so that it could be interfaced with added gear that allows it to operate as the master station in a synchronous, voting repeater system.
Replaced the transmit antenna with a 2-dipole array.
No account would be complete without a mention of the installation of the new receiving antenna in the fall of 1982. It happened on a Sunday afternoon with rain coming down in buckets. In fact, so much rain came down that when the party was ready to leave, the County flood-control net took over the repeater. (This was the start of the famous 1982/83 winter which ended with State Street being used as a river.) As everyone was going about their business with garbage bags over their heads, Roger Davis, N7BNC, commented: "It's a good thing we do this on a volunteer basis. Otherwise, you couldn't pay me enough!"
In 2009, the Farnsworth peak repeater's coverage was effectively expanded - For more information about the Scott's Hill repeater, go to the "Scott Hill '62" page.

Before going into the depth, we, Kolkata 24×7 – English team would like to thank all its faithful readers, viewers and followers of Kolkata 24×7-English news portal on its 2nd birth anniversary. We thank you because without you we could not have stood where we are today. Your immense support has brought us a notch higher and journeyed us through to its second year.
We are taking a time off to thank all of you for your great love and support for our 24×7 service. You are the only reason we keep holding on to the keyboard. Before launching our portal we had to reassess goals. The journey was not so easy but now the journey is in our soul and passion.
There has never been a moment that we refused or declined to cover any important incident. Such is the one which occurred on March 31, 2016. After hearing the tragic 'Posta flyover' incident, we, with camera and our boom rushed to the spot without any delay and stayed there until and unless normalcy resumed. Our desk editors also were engaged with the reporters 24×7 and gave all updates continuously.
Before the Posta flyover tragedy, we visited Jangal Mahal in 19th February, 2016. It is not that we, as journalists, just indulge ourselves in breaking or rather hard news. We give equal importance to soft angle news too. Kolkata 24×7- English team brought to you the scenic beauty and the aura of Mother Nature of Jangal Mahal.
Kolkata 24×7 English news portal had started their journey on 25th January 2015 and till now it moves swiftly. Kolkata24x7 English steps into 2nd anniversary on 25th January 2017. Many ups and downs came but we never bended. We started again with new enthusiasm. All hurdles that came to our path, we erase it with smile and hard work.
The portal started with few employees who worked dawn to dusk, but now we have more powers. We are very much grate full to your love and support and hope you will stay with us in future. And, last but not the least; all the ex-employees of Kolkata 24×7 English also helped us in making it a leading news portal of Kolkata. We also have two other sites, one is Kolkata24x7 Bengali which is Kolkata's number one web portal in Bengali , also our parent portal and the other one is Kolkata24x7 Hindi.

Around fifty old buildings in Budapest will be open this weekend to visitors as a part of an initiative by the OSA Archives and contemporary Architecture Centre to give the public access to the 100 year old buildings.
One person fined for smoking so far.
Until now the public space inspectors have fined one person for smoking in the forbidden to smoke zones at a BKV Public Transport stop – says Istvan Miklos, the vice chief of the FVKF – Public Area Fascility Management Service to inforadio.hu.
Istvan Miklos to InfoRadio. He emphasized that: most people keep respect the ban, and thus protect others by not lighting their smoke.
The Malév Boeing 737-800 carrying Hungarians and citizens of other European countries trapped in Libya touched down at Budapest's Ferihegy International Airport yesterday evening. The special flight arrived with a total of 96 passengers (including 24 Hungarians) from 10 countries.
The Malév jet was met by Minister of Foreign Affairs János Martonyi and Minister of Defence Csaba Hende. Nearly 50 journalists were at the airport to record the arrival of the flight from Tripoli. Speaking to journalists, the foreign minister mentioned his especial thanks to Sándor Pintér, interior minister, and János Hajdú, head of the Anti-Terrorism Centre (TEK). Furthermore, he expressed his gratitude to Malév Chief Operational Officer Géza Fehérváry, who was also the captain of the special charter flight, and the entire crew who flew into Tripoli. The foreign minister also mentioned the work of the staff of the embassy in Tripoli, who are remaining in Libya.
As regards the repatriation of those who arrived on the aircraft, János Martonyi congratulated everyone for the exemplary cooperation. He said he considered the fact that citizens of 10 European nations, including Romanians, Lithuanians, Poles, Czechs and the Czech ambassador, were brought out to be of particular symbolic significance. This is an excellent example that we Hungarians are capable of working together when we have to, he stressed.
Csaba Hende commented that this "brilliantly executed rescue mission" was decided on by the government at a late evening session on Saturday, when it was agreed that an aircraft of the national carrier would be despatched to Tripoli. Under no circumstances will Hungary leave one of its citizens in trouble, and if needs be we will go for everyone, even to the ends of the earth, he said. The defence minister, too, thanked everyone for their cooperation. Money was not an issue; the important thing was human life and the security of Hungarians, he emphasized.
The crew of the Malév Tripoli flight and the Malév experts who readied the flight fulfilled this unusual mission faultlessly. In addition to maintaining constant liaison with the government and TEK, flight preparations were conducted extremely swiftly, as were the necessary flight authorizations, as a consequence of which flight MA1304 was able to depart for Tripoli on Sunday morning, and where, having touched down, it was only able to make the return journey after a lengthy wait. The reason for the delay was that passengers for the Malév service were able to get into the airport only with great difficulty owing to the chaotic situation at the terminal. Thanks to the efforts of the Hungarian embassy, the Anti-Terrorism Centre, the charity organization Baptist Aid and the crew of the Malév flight, the Boeing was able to take off on the return leg to Budapest at 5.30 pm Hungarian time. It landed at Ferihegy just after 8 pm local time.

3 girls killed in Budapest disco panic.
The panic incident on Saturday night at the club West Balkan near Nyugati Station resultated in 3 girls dead.
The clubs owners say that they don't assume any responsibility, as the location was rented out for a party, and that they were present with their own crew.
According to Hungarian TV station, RTL Klub's news, the clubs owners had been tricking the local authorities with their license applications by withdrawing them after having submitted them. Then placing their applications at the back of the line and by this they were able to operate freely while the application was in for concideration.
Google Street View in Hungary?
Jóri András, data protection ombudsman looks to be saying yes to accept the Google Street View into Hungary, given that they agree on the terms he has set up.
Google's Hungary office is in talks with the ombudsman, but are rather silent about the progress of the talks.
It looks like the strict data protection policy that has in the past years hindered Google to create panoramic street images in European countries. for then presenting them on their Google Maps Street View, is loosening.
Last week the Germans, who have traditionally acted strict in regards of protecting their personal data and photos gave up and now twenty German cities may be viewed in panoramic photos, among them being Berlin, Hamburg and Munich. The German solution did however only come to life after a comprehensive compromise had been reached, with property owners being individually able to decide whether they wish to have their buildings and gardens appear on the Google Map Street View site, or have their property censored. As a result the company had to remove 244.000 buildings from the map service, which means that of 8,5 million German real estate owners about 3 percent chose to hide. The most ironic example being Google's own Munich office in Dienerstrasse 12 being censored out of the Street View.

The London borough of Southwark comprises some of the most iconic monuments in London, Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, Tate Modern and London Bridge. Including the Vauxhall area, which is currently undergoing a major renovation, the SE1 postcode is a highly sought after by property investors from all over the world.
One of the area's main attractions is the famous Borough Market, which is open from Thursday to Saturday. Always buzzing, many Londoners spend their Saturdays there, browsing the specialty food stalls, stocking up on organic produce and sipping on pints of ale.
Vauxhall is well known for its lively gay and lesbian scene. With theatres such as Above The Stag, putting on LGBT-friendly plays and musicals, and late-night clubs, the area is always bursting with an eclectic crowd. In addition, it sees a lot of pop-up restaurants by young up-and-coming talent. With cheaper than average rental prices for venues, young culinary geniuses can test out their new creations to an adventurous market.
Bermondsey is very popular among young professionals, given its great transport connections to the rest of London, and its proximity to the financial districts of Canary Wharf and The City of London. In addition, the area is full of great restaurants, busy gastropubs and lively food markets like Maltby Street – a calmer alternative to the busy Borough Market. And with art institutions like the White Cube opening shop right on Bermondsey Street, it's safe to say the area has arrived.
SE1 really has a lot to offer. The National Theatre, Hayward Gallery, British Film Institute (BFI), Tate Modern, festivals, food stalls… it's a never ending hub of cultural activities.

my problem is, i can't figure how to setValue the triggerfield from my controller. Or there's another way to do it?

A: Just define a ref in your controller (refs: [ { ref: 'trigger', selector: 'triggerfield' } ]) and then perform this.getTrigger().setValue().

In 1995 Target revolutionized the wedding registry process. By establishing the first scanner-friendly gift registry that included an electronic database, they changed the whole face of what we now know as wedding or bridal registries. By using the database, Target came up with a solution for tracking purchases and hopefully keeping double gifting to a minimum.
Very quickly after that just about every department store and big box store followed their lead by creating elaborate registry departments that included everything from housewares to sporting goods. They even created electronic registries for birthdays, babies, bridal shower gifts and birthdays. The the debut of scanners, many of the more non-traditional stores have incorporated wedding registries as well.
Right now the wedding registry "industry" is on the verge of a very large change. If you ask "what is a wedding registry?" now you will no longer get the standard answer of a list of toasters and linens. There are many different online and mobile options for couples to choose from so they can choose items they really need or want.
One of the newest ways to "register" for gifts is to register for a big ticket item or even a down payment on your first home. Each guest can then contribute an amount toward that gift. You can even create a donation registry for your favorite charity. This is an excellent way to be able to receive a big ticket item such as your honeymoon or maybe even a car without any one person having to bear the brunt of the cost.
While creating a wedding registry is certainly not required, you should certainly consider it an essential part of your wedding planning process. Not only will it help you guests to choose gifts you will really use, but it will offer you the chance to ask for gifts that suit your personal style as a couple. Be creative when you are making your registry. Also, there is no rule that says you can only have one. This way you will most likely receive gifts you can actually use rather than stuffing them away in the closet to gather dust.

The Enemy Within: Terror, Lies, and the Whitewashing of Omar Khadr
Authors: Levant, Ezra
Publisher: McClelland & Stewart
Synopsis: A controversial look at the headline-making story of the last Western prisoner at Guantanamo Bay and the larger implications to national security, justice, and international relations.
Omar Khadr is the last Western prisoner at the Guantanamo Bay detention centre. He has been held at the American naval base since October 2002, accused of killing a U.S. sergeant in Afghanistan. Khadr was fifteen at the time. His defence team argued that their client was a child soldier and should be treated as a victim. After several years of procedural wrangling, Khadr went before a U.S. military court. In October, he pled guilty, in an agreement that allows him to be transferred to Canada after one year.
This controversial new book will be published to coincide with Omar Khadr's return to Canada in late 2011. It will include shocking information about the Khadr family, Khadr's psychological assessment, and his trial that has often been ignored in the mainstream media. Challenging the conventional wisdom about the Khadr case, The Enemy Within is a provocative look at the definition of "child soldier," life at Guantanamo Bay, the media coverage of the case, a tainted plea bargain, and the Canadian government's plan for Omar Khadr's rehabilitation upon his return to Canada.
In this hard-hitting book, Ezra Levant also uses Khadr's story to address larger questions about how Canadians view immigration, terrorism, law and justice, and Canada's relationship with the United States.
