Rather than turning the plane into something like a modern house, Campbell is reusing much of the original equipment for his needs. After a decade Campbell's enthusiasm for the project has not waned. He sees potential in everything — like how the wings can serve as a great deck. This is anything but prefab building though – it's a slow and deliberate process.
The cockpit is an excellent reading room, and he left much of the original instrumentation and controls intact. He even restored some elements, and he installed a computer monitor right in the middle of the instrument panel. He also got one of the original bathrooms back online, but only has a temporary shower for now.
At 1,066 interior square feet, the space is cozy but not cramped by any means – when it's setup as a large studio it feels plenty big. The coolest trick may be the transparent floor. The original was torn out and replaced with translucent panels, allowing visitors to see the super structure's ribs and controlling cables running from the cockpit to the wings and tail. Campbell also has plenty of storage in the cargo hold. While the wings make a great deck, he has a couple of big covered areas below them as well. He even uses the original water tank and plumbing to serve amenities like his clothes washer. The trick is to make the space habitable but maintain the feel of its original design's purpose – to be 35,000 feet above the trees.

Many would like to live in a plain but I suspect that in many countries, mine included, this kind of house would be forbidden by authorities.

Wonderful, what with the decking of the wings, water tank and galley usage, translucent floors. De-mating of the wings at a certain number of hours contributed to the downfall of the 727 with it's Kruger flaps that allowed a wide speed range. Like so many the pure jet engines burned too much and had shorter times between overhaul. They were turned into lots of beer cans as were so many old plane we will never even know existed.

Report: 2011 BMW X6 getting single turbo N55, eight-speed automatic
by Chris Shunk (RSS feed) on Jan 28th, 2010 at 9:01AM
BMW has officially announced changes for its 2011 BMW X6, and the big news is that the German automaker will swap out its twin-turbo N54 inline-six in this sport utility for the new twin-scroll single turbo N55 mill, just like it did in the new 5 Series. The move continues BMW's drive toward simplifying its engine options while at the same time providing X6 owners with stronger acceleration and increased efficiency. BMW claims the N55 matches the twin-scroll N54's power numbers while also cutting weight from the engine bay. And since this bubbly crossover weighs in at a rotund 4,900... Read More

Hi there,
I suppose this is a vary subjective question with lots of different answers, but, what in your opinion is the absolute best enchant that I can put on a one-hander weapon as a tank? I'm Protection Paladin if it makes any difference.

EH - Blood Draining

|Ex Tank|
True Knowledge exists in knowing that you know nothing.
Agg's tanking guide
Avoidance - Mongoose
I use Mongoose. However I'm somewhat upset that a level 70 enchant is on par or better (debatiable) then the level 80 enchants.
The plus crit and hit enchant is also nice.
ive went with bladeward - although im considering switching to mongoose.
it adds a small amount of armor, the haste is kinda helpful.
Mongoose > bladeward imo
Be a Champion, not a hero.
I think that about sums up the differences between them....Mongoose (blue lightning) > bladeward (blow glow, hilt lightning) imo
I currently use bladeward and I am unsure if mongoose would be better for me as well. I have been"advised" that the crit added by the agility would help with threat, I am curious if this is true and if it is worth switching. I dont often have much problem with single target threat occasionally with 4+ mobs. I think the armor boost would be nice seeing how i only have 28k as of now. What is the science behind deciding which is truly better? (I have a protection warrior if it matters)
Check out Aggathon's Prot Warrior Guide, also use the search function. There are literally dozens of threads on this.
Blue. Freakin'. Lightning.
I think we need a sticky on this subject housing the few good discussions about it that has a flashing strobe light effect on it.
There is something so appealing about backhanding someone across the face with a shield.
Satrina tried that with the sticky in the UI section... Kitten casualty rates sky-rocketed.

Cadillac recalling CTS and CTS-V over risk to passenger knees
by Jeff Glucker (RSS feed) on Sep 20th, 2010 at 1:58PM
General Motors has issued a recall notice for 2009-2010 all-wheel drive Cadillac CTS' and CTS-Vs due to an issue with the front passenger-side knee airbag. In a collision, the front passenger's knees are at risk of being hit – however, this risk is only for passengers not wearing their seat belts. Dealers are instructed to replace the glove box assembly and, if necessary, modify the instrument panel structure. Per usual, these services are free of charge and the recall is scheduled to begin on or before October 20th, 2010. %Gallery-64876% [Source: NHTSA]... Read More

"With the money we save by not buying a server, we can improve member services. If I'm spending approximately a day a week managing a server, that's time I'm not spending on members."
Angela Tempest, Business Operations Manager, INGENIUM
Nonprofit INGENIUM supports New Zealand Local Government engineers with education and resources, has been in existence in various forms since 1961. Scattered across the country, staff work flexible hours, so robust communication tools and high availability of IT resources are vital.
Its staff could not always log on to the server to use documents and applications, and spent around a day a week on manual server issues and maintenance. With Microsoft Office 365, INGENIUM gains uptime and cuts hardware overhead, to save approximately eight hours weekly and $60,000 in estimated costs.
INGENIUM kept documents and applications on an aging server in Wellington, which staff accessed through a virtual private network (VPN). Only three employees could log on at one time, and applications often stopped responding under the traffic strain. The server needed to be restarted two or three times weekly—which was problematic if Angela Tempest, Business Operations Manager at INGENIUM, was away from her desk, as she is the only employee in Wellington and thus the only one with easy physical access to the server. Tempest spent about 15 minutes a day handling server log-on issues. And at 10 minutes each time and six employees, this meant an hour's worth of lost productivity per server restart.
When it came to communication and work pace, the geographically dispersed staff did not often talk in person. For member communications, INGENIUM mainly used print and email newsletters. Though the organisation announced its seminars on its website, members submitted registration by postal mail. Finally, locating files could be a challenge, as employees stored documents on portable computers and on the server.
Tempest's enquiries showed that a new server would cost around $84,000 over five years for acquisition, setup, and maintenance, so she decided to search for a more affordable alternative.
Tempest considered Google Applications. But, she says, it took three weeks to get permissions to open a Google Applications spreadsheet someone sent her, and "the service itself seemed quite hard to set up." Tempest chose Microsoft Office 365, adding, "We find Office 365 easier to use, and it has the functionality and interface we're used to. This familiarity made us more confident than with Google."
INGENIUM worked with its Microsoft Certified IT Partner, Quay Corporate, to ensure that the Microsoft Office 365 solution was the right fit: INGENIUM undertook a successful 30-day trial, after which Quay Corporate quickly and easily deployed the solution.
Without the need for an on-premises server, staff log on to their computers and use an Internet connection to access Microsoft Lync Online and SharePoint Online, which are Microsoft Cloud Services hosted in Microsoft data centers. These services come with a 99.9-percent uptime guarantee. Microsoft data centers are also certified to meet several certifications for security, including the ISO 27001 certification.
Now, INGENIUM staff can use video conferencing in Lync Online to meet as if they are in the same room together, to improve communication. With SharePoint Online, during these video conferences, employees can collaborate on files that are stored in document libraries, complete with version control.
With centralised document libraries, staff can find files more easily. The organisation can hold weekly video conference staff meetings, and work on complex budget documents in real time, without the back-and-forth of email collaboration. Employees can even share their desktops with colleagues using Lync Online.
Instead of making a large initial investment in a server, INGENIUM gets pay-as-you-go subscription pricing with Office 365.
INGENIUM improved productivity, collaboration, and member services with Microsoft Office 365.
More Uptime
With greater document and application availability, INGENIUM staff work when and where they want to. The company saves almost eight hours a week, or 18 percent of the work week, now that there is no need to restart or maintain the server or assist users with logging on. Tempest says, "We work flexible hours and want applications to be available constantly. With our old server, that was difficult. With Office 365, we don't worry about downtime." Staff can concentrate instead on serving members.
More Efficiency
Better Communication
Weekly staff video conferences have improved knowledge transfer. And, Tempest reports, "We communicate faster using Lync Online, especially being able to share desktops. If people have technical issues they can show me the problem immediately from home or work."
Controlled Costs
Because Office 365 costs much less than the $84,000 server solution INGENIUM was considering, and Tempest estimates $60,000 in savings over five years. This means that with the money saved, the organisation can update its website and accounting system so members can sign up for seminars and pay registration fees online. "With the money we save by not buying a server, we can improve member services," says Tempest. "If I'm spending approximately a day a week managing a server, that's time I'm not spending on members."
The new solution frees up time and money to work in the way INGENIUM is designed to. Concludes Tempest, "Every week, I'm finding some new way Office 365 can help us."

New Zealand nonprofit INGENIUM serves about a thousand members with engineering education and resources for local government contractors and consultants.
INGENIUM's aging server could not support traffic from six employees who logged on to access applications and documents. The organisation wanted more reliability and security at a lower cost.
Staff gained 99.9 percent availability of their applications and documents with Microsoft Office 365 services, without hardware costs or maintenance.

Welcome to Cerebrum. Do you have a reservation?
FRIDAY NIGHT FEVER To get you in the mood for the weekend, on occasional Fridays we'll be featuring an old New York nightlife haunt, from the dance halls of 19th Century Bowery, to the massive warehouse clubs of the mid-1990s. Past entries can be found here.
LOCATION Cerebrum
Broome and Crosby streets, Manhattan
The 1960s were a decade of experimentation, and not just for people. As rock and roll tripped out, so did the places you went to hear it. No longer were clubs merely about alcohol and frivolity, music and fashion. A nightclub could create 'happenings', self-conscious environments of pleasure; recreational drugs helped.
The most glamorous example of this sort of public venue in downtown Manhattan was probably the Electric Circus, psychedelic haunt of the Velvet Underground and Andy Warhol, mixing light shows and performance art onto a dance floor of fashionable mods. But even the swirling, mohair environments of the Factory's favorite club paled in comparison the experiments going on at Cerebrum.
I have to say, part of my fascination with Cerebrum was the hard time I had in researching this article. The place was open less than a year (winter 1968 to summer 1969), and its participants were on the true art fringe. Its most famous patron was most likely Jimi Hendrix -- who stole the club's designer John Storyk to create his fabulous Electric Lady Studios -- but I found virtually no mentions of this in biographies. In fact, it took me a few articles to even clarify that the place even existed, that it wasn't a mass acid hallucination conjured up by a frothing artist in a Nehru jacket.
Cerebrum, which opened in November 1968, was not a mere club but, as New York Magazine calls it in March 1969, a "place implicitly geared to voyeuristic impulses."
Located at 429 Broome Street at Crosby Street in SoHo, Cerebrum was the brainchild (ahem) of a group of underground theater artists who decided to turn their highly groovy loft parties into regular events, combining theatrical flair with the frippery of psychedelic drug culture.
Chief among the creators was Ruffin Cooper Jr., son of a Texan banker would later achieve some renown as a abstract photographer in San Francsico. To the surprise of no one, his other collaborators, all fabulously creative, would soon be connected to the Ridiculous Theatrical Company, still in its early days of absurdist productions: Richard Currie the lighting designer, Bobjack Callejo its set designer.
Imagine the city at night with the radio on. You're listening to WNEW-FW and the sweet sounds of Allison "Nightbird" Steele, when suddenly you hear an unusual commercial describing a strange experimental nightclub, an "electric studio of participation." A "super, electric, turned on, far-out fantasy land. Two 3 hour sessions nightly. 8 to 11 and 11:30 to 2:30 am. Reservations are necessary. Call 966-4031. But above all get to CEREBRUM."
Behind the unmarked door on Broome Street, the collective pushed the boundaries for the bizarre.
Arriving at the darkened street -- SoHo's warehouses have yet to meet haute couture in 1968 -- you press a small lighted doorbell and enter an entirely dark room. A voice asks, "Welcome to Cerebrum. Do you have a reservation?" You are, after all, in a 60s speakeasy. After passing muster, you're lead into an orientation room, take off your shoes and pay your admission (anywhere from $1 to a pricey $7, depending on the night.)
Ghostly figures inhabit Cerebrum, lost in trances*
At Cerebrum, you let everything go. Your clothes even. Once inside, you were asked by a kind young fellow dressed in silver to get completely naked. He then handed you your ensemble for the evening -- a flowing, diaphranous robe, hooded and silky, faux futuristic.
Once garbed, you are led inside via a ramp to a gigantic white room, trippy projections on the wall, distortions of a wide variety of music buzz around you, a thin, scented fog sitting in the air. There's no liquor, only water and marshmallows, served by the so-called 'Cerebrum guides', who led visitors through this strange psychedelic spa. No gabby conversations at a crowded bar, only people sitting and staring.
The club was divided into elevated platforms which you could visit to experience the unique stimulants taking place there -- headphones with groovy music, musical instruments, balloons, kaleidoscopes, children's toys -- reclining on white pillows on lush white carpeting. Sometimes the 'guides' came along and smeared menthol on yoru lips or tingly lotions upon your skin.
Clearly, it wasn't those marshmallows enhancing your experience here. Cerebrum clientele were a stoned, listless lot, lost in the vague, spectral imagery and sounds. In Currie's own words, from a biography on the Ridiculous Theatre Company, "Several people said that it always looked like it was going to become an orgy at any moment."
Time Magazine called it "a theater without a stage show, a cabaret without food or liquor, a party without an occasion"; the fact that Time was there at all meant it was on the cultural radar, at least with drug-friendly, downtown fashionistas. But its novelty drew only the bravest of trendy crowds.
Cooper explains it this way to Time: "We are trying to overturn every entertainment convention—the 'sit here,' the 'look that way,' the 'dance over here'."
Enter the parachute. You like the parachute.*
Eventually they break out the parachute, with patrons grabbing each side and watching as the white billowy fabrics flaps back and forth in the air. Like what you did in elementary school, except with lots of stoned adults.
Cerebrum stretched the boundaries of interactive theater within the environment of an incredibly chill-out party. And like any good off-off-Broadway production, it closed a lot sooner than it should.
It shuttered early summer of the very next year. The reason was rumored to be mob related. Keep in mind this was the summer of riots outside the mob-run Stonewall bar. But most likely a concept of this type is probably not meant to last. With the 70s on the horizon -- with CBGB's, the Mudd Club, and Studio 54 at the door -- a club like Cerebrum seems positively quaint.
FUN FACT: Less than 40 years later, Heath Ledger would die a couple doors down, at 421 Broome Street. Ledger was 28 years old when he died, Cerebrum habitue Hendrix was 27.
You can read here a short recollection by Bart Friedman here, and there's a nice academic description of the experience here.
*Photos above are by Ferdinand Boesch and are from here. I'm sorry they're so blurry, but I copied them from a paper and I just had to have pictures of this place to accompany the article.
But the greatest treat is that there's actual video evidence that this place actually existed, narrated by Ruffin Cooper himself. This video takes awhile to load, but it's worth it:

Great Post! Kind of hard to picture the same Jimi Hendrix from the Monterey Pop Fest. at Cerebrum. The Clubbers in the video playing with that large grey Baloon/Ball remind me more of the Orb scene in Woody Allen's Sleeper.Do you think this was the same crowd that would frequent Plato's Retreat on a Friday night a decade later?ReplyDelete
BTW I've been following and enjoying your stuff on Networked Blogs and also write about NY History @ http://apps.facebook.com/blognetworks/blog/family_archive/
Wow! Impressive research there. A while back someone asked me if I knew anything about a club where the patrons had to change into white robes and I didn't know what to tell them...dis must be de place!!! Those orbs remind me more of Rover in "The Prisoner." Cerebrum might've been a little too arty-farty for my taste had I been alive back then, but I'm still digging the concept.ReplyDelete
I really doubt that this place was "mob related". Since there was no alcohol or cigarette machines, the mob wouldn't have been interested in making money off the admission of a couple of bucks from a few dozen people.ReplyDelete
The mob was involved in more traditional discos at the time.
The idea for Cerebrum came out of my loft at 18 Wooster Street, above the theatre where Dionysius in 69 played where I did light and sound shows. We had come back from a musical event in Omaha..'Ruffin Cooper's New World Sound Machine' (Ruffin Cooper, Bob Jack Callejo, John Brown, Jeff Rudnick and myself) and we thought we should take it public. We had shops on 6th Avenue by O'Henry's Steak house and on Canal street which financed it. The mob did try to heavy hand us but didn't get in as a friend of ours was a don. They even went so far as to seed some of the robes one night with fleas....
It's refreshing to hear that it gave enjoyment to
some people.

Hello David,Delete
I work for a record company dedicated to reissue obscure psychedelic and progressive music from the 60s-70s. If you got unreleased music from Ruffin Cooper's New World Sound Machine or anything releated to the Cerebrum club, please get in touch
All the best
Mr. Randolph,ReplyDelete
I am doing a research paper and stumbled across your comment on this article. The sources on Cerebrum are very interesting yet do not fully describe some of the topics I am hoping to address.
Would it be possible to ask you a few questions about Cerebrum? If so, could you please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com? It would be incredibly helpful if this were possible.
Thank you very much,
I worked as a hostess at Cerebrum back then with my then boyfriend Sky Blue. I was a student at NYU at the time and one of my professors came in one evening.ReplyDelete
I think I got an A after that. Could it have been the

Katy K, Nashville TNReplies
Hi Katy, Yes, it coulda been the robes or as I like to think of them, 'diaphanous gowns'. Such a trip, discovering this site. I've been talking about Cerebrum for years and sometimes I wonder if it really happened. I was one of the '3 superguys and 3 supergirls" who answered Ruffin's ad for same in the Times or was it the Voice? Do you remember his silver space suit? So many memories of that place. If you can't place me by name, I stayed with Alan of Lafayette St. and cooked those Friday night spaghetti dinners up there.

As member of Ruffin Associates I designed the lighting for Cerebrum. It was pre computers so it took 22 of us to light, project and guide the experience. Many happy memories. We closed in June of '69 mostly because we couldn't afford air conditioning.ReplyDelete

Great to read this post. I was on Broome Street today looking for a knitting store. Memories of Cerebrum came to mind and it was great to see that it is on the internet. I remember getting into the white sheets and playing with a child's toy. It was a lighted thing with colored pegs that you placed into holes to make a design. I held it up to my face and thought I heard someone comment on that, watching me. I was 20. I don't remember an orgy, perhaps I went on an off night. Now, I knit, drink herbal tea and have cats. Everything changes.ReplyDelete
I've been listening to Henry Brann's stories of Cerebrum for years..finally turned to Google to learn more. Great to find this....ReplyDelete

I attended Cerebrum once. I was from NJ and poor, had to save up for the experience (gas, tolls, admission, etc), so glad I did. A wonderful evening. At one point I was walked up to the front where other attendees were encouraged to start wrapping me in aluminum foil from my ankles to the top of my head, being careful around my nose so I could easily breathe. When the wrapping was completed I couldn't budge and had to be supported from falling over! Then someone shouted "free Bob"! What felt like hundreds of hands started ripping piece after piece of the foil off of me, until indeed I was "free". A fun, collective experience!ReplyDelete

I Went to Princeton with John Storyk. He graduated before me and moved to the Village with his new bride, Geraldine. They called me up and asked if I would like to spend a couple weekends with them working on this nightclub project they were doing. I did and was there for the opening. It was unforgettable to say the least!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousAugust 11, 2014 at 1:35 AM
I was involved in Cerebrum but am probably not remembered much even though I essentially ran the place in the partners names for most of the five months after the opening month's excitement. But I sorta lived there. Well, not sorta... I camped out in the basement for about four months when I had a falling out with my roommate.ReplyDelete
There are a lot of fuzzy memories in this thread. Fleas in the robes? I spent almost every day of seven months with the "partners" (Ruffin, Bob-Jack, John) and never heard that one. We didn't send the robes out, we walked them over to a laundromat in a duffel bag and washed and dried them every morning, ourselves. Da Boyz would've never had access to them. Nice urban legend in the making, though.
Ruffin wasn't living in a "basement apartment" on West End, but a very nice "street level" apartment. I know, I tried to take over the lease when he was taking off to hang with Wavy Gravy for a while (if you ever see a virtually unknown film called The Great Medicine Ball Caravan, Ruffin's in a scene when the "caravan" hit Taos, I think it was).
A lot of the "confusion" on some of these points stems from the fallibility of human memory. We all remember things through different filters and constant repetition (and it is constant - for those of us who were involved) makes that coffee shop discussion version more real in our memories. But a lot of the differing impressions are because of the way the place came into being and then existed. There was a strong coterie of creative/artistic types in the beginning, but once the place got going the day to day operations were left to the lowly paid "volunteers". One or another of the partners would generally show up of an evening, we'd spend ten minutes bitching about how little we took in that night (or occasionally oohing over the rare decent night), and we'd go up to one of the booths and play with the equipment for a while. The "mixer" was whomever felt like doing it that night, but John G. Brown got dibs any time he was present. The visuals were also John's doing for a large part. But "in the beginning" they were hand painted/masked slides, all coordinated and themed and scripted. By the third month it was people playing with the klieg lights on the master board and an occasional attempt at coordinating things into an "environment". (Remember the plug line, anyone.... "Environmental Participatory Entertainment". We were full of ourselves, weren't we?) For most of the place's existence it was mood lighting coordinated to go with the music and the music was anything that that night's "mixer" wanted to put on.
Can anyone confirm that Ruffin Alcorn Cooper who passed away in California in '92 was "our" Ruffin?
We were an "Environmental Studio of Participation." That was a label created to allow people to move along with the music because we couldn't get a "dance club" license.ReplyDelete
I think I was there everyday from opening until closing. I was called the "Head Guide" because I guided heads. People might remember me as "Larry with the beard" but they will definitely remember me as one half of "Larry & L.J." She was the beautiful blonde at the door most nights.
In addition to Hendrix we were visited by Ravi Shankar; most of the cast of Hair and Tom Paine, members of Janis' band and several others from the bands who played the Fillmore East. A famous and well connected young scion used to visit weekly and smoke opium while the fog filled the room. Joel Grey complimented me on my dancing and asked me who I studied with.
(Anybody remember our weekly salary amount; or the closing bonus before we all went off to Woodstock or elsewhere? How about the company dinners in Chinatown?)
It'so exciting to see folks here... Katy and Hank and Bart (whom I've corresponded with over the past few years. I think about Sky Blue often... and "Zitch" and lots of other and some of the places I stayed on Sullivan street. Betty Resch and I are facebook friends. Ruffin's apartment was exceedingly glamorous compared to the low end places most of the rest of us lived... and I spent some time there before his famous roommate walked in on us and showed us the door. I also stayed with John Brown for awhile the next year and house sat for Bob-Jack in the late fall.
Yes, Ruffin Cooper Jr. was the well know photographer who passed away in 1992.

J.J. Green, wtop.com
WASHINGTON - A trial in the United Kingdom last week exposed al-Qaida's new strategy for attacking the U.S.
Three men convicted of terrorism charges in Birmingham, England, had all received training in bomb-making and other terrorist acts in Pakistan, and had been instructed by their leaders to go west and lay low.
They were not instructed to launch attacks, but to teach others how to launch them. Essentially, they were told to fan out into various western countries including the U.S. and disappear into the fabric of their communities and look for apprentices and opportunities.
With the threat of sequestration only three days away, intelligence officials see a potential opportunity for the likes of al-Qaida and others.
"Allowing sequestration to be imposed at this late point in the fiscal year will dramatically reduce the funding available for the intelligence community to conduct its intelligence mission," says Director of National Intelligence James Clapper.
The mission of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence is to integrate intelligence analysis and collection to inform the decisions that are made from the White House to the foxholes. As al-Qaida operatives try to slip in and burrow deep in the U.S., the intelligence community may be without some of its key players at the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC).
"NCTC, like every other agency in government, is looking for ways to be more efficient and more effective with the resources that we have," says Matt Olsen, director of the center. "We are aware that we are in a climate where we may face some real challenges on the budget side."
In an exclusive interview with WTOP, Olsen adds that, "Everybody, every morning that walks through our front doors knows that they're coming in here to work on one thing, and that's counterterrorism and that also means protecting the country."
Those budgetary challenges could lead to layoffs for counterterrorism analysts from across the community. Analysts, scholars, linguists and a range of experts from the CIA, FBI, military, homeland security and the State Department all filter through the NCTC on a daily basis.
"We even have folks here from state and local police departments," Olsen says. "That is why I think it's important as we look ahead to understand how we're going to allocate those limited resources against those changing and evolving threats we face around the world."
Clapper is resolute about his personal mission, but clear about what is at stake and the potential consequences.
"Whatever happens in the political debate over sequestration, as [director of national intelligence], I have to protect our ability to carry out the business of intelligence," he says. "I can't do that if our people -- the intelligence professionals who are responsible for gathering the intelligence that helps protect us -- are not on the job."
Clapper says his team will try to "mitigate the effect of sequestration, but the sheer size of the cut has the potential to, over time, adversely affect our ability to meet our national security obligations."
Olsen says the NCTC is dedicated to its work even in uncertain times like these because of the significance of its mission.
"That's a great source of motivation, dedication and esprit de corps for our workforce, and I think we all understand that there are going to be some challenges on the budget side and we're just going to do the best we can," he says.
While cuts to systems and dramatic slowdowns in the spending that supports their systems may be inevitable, Clapper says he is committed to protecting his people and their mission.
"I'm going to do everything in my power to avoid widespread furloughs of our people," he says. "In the intelligence community, you can't separate the people from the mission and our mission is too important compromise."

Cars turning left over a bicycle only lane
So after a pretty close call this afternoon riding on the inside of a car in a bike only lane, and having the car turn left over the top of me, I have a few questions.
Does anyone know what the law is regarding who has to give way? Did a quick search and found [url]http://www.sydneycyclist.com/forum/topics/cars-turning-left-across-a}this[/url]... but it's not particularly informative.
Admittedly, I feel like I was probably in the wrong in this instance, but it also made me realise I have no idea what the etiquette/law is in these situations, so just interested to hear what everyone's thoughts are?
P.s. I'm in Queensland, so particularly interested in the road laws here.
Re: Cars turning left over a bicycle only lane
Here are some links to a Brisbane Cyclist that was collected by a truck in a similar scenario as you've described. Note that the Policeman gave the truck driver $400 worth of tickets. Also note that another motorist raced to the defence of the truck driver to blame the victim (cyclist)

Re: Cars turning left over a bicycle only lane
if the car was in the lane first which they are allowed to be for the purpose of turning left, then riding up the inside is both dangerous and illegal. illegal because they are indicating and you may not pass a car on the left whilst it is indicating a left turn. dangerous because the driver really does not figure there will be a road user coming up on the inside while they are turning left.
link to legislation:
http://www.legislation.qld.gov.au/LEGIS ... RURR09.pdf
I could agree with you, but then we would both be wrong.
Re: Cars turning left over a bicycle only lane
...and turning left.
Of course at what point you define a vehicle as actually turning left can be a tricky one. However if the vehicle is stationary and not able to move forwards while indicating you are legally OK. Myself I generally apply the car driver's technique and pass left lane traffic at intersections on the right side.
Going by the OP's description it seems like the driver has done the classic left-hook, zipping past then cutting left without allowing enough time for the cyclist in the bike lane.
Riding bikes in traffic - what seems dangerous is usually safe; what seems safe is often more dangerous.
Re: Cars turning left over a bicycle only lane
I knew someone would nitpick my post. Best practise is just don't do it despite what you believe the legislation may allude to. No point talking legislation from under the wheels of a car. I would suggest that a legal interpretation in a court of law would not limit a cars ability to move as being the sole factor in the definition of "turning left". A left indicator shows intent to turn, which I believe would then be considered as actually turning. As a result based on your interpretation I believe the action of passing is then an illegal one.
I could agree with you, but then we would both be wrong.
Re: Cars turning left over a bicycle only lane
Not that this is much use to the OP but in WA your statement is not actually correct and Oxford is more on the mark.
Regulation 122(4) applies ...
(4) The rider of a bicycle shall not ride past, or overtake, to the left of a vehicle that is making, or apparently about to make, a left turn, or is signalling a left turn. [my emphasis]
Modified penalty: 2 PU
Re: Cars turning left over a bicycle only lane
Thanks for the responses.
So what would be the point where it becomes illegal?
If you were riding next to the car, they'd have to give way to you, yeah?
In my particular instance I was riding (downhill) at the same pace as the car, and my pedals were approximately in line with the rear of their car.
I could see the blinkers when they began indicating, but wasn't sure if I had to slow down till they turned, or they had to wait for me to pass.

Re: Cars turning left over a bicycle only lane
with the further information you have provided, it would appear the car driver has done the wrong thing as they have not cleared you. Assuming the bike lane* you were in is actually a bike lane* then the driver is basically wanting to change lanes and occupy the bike lane* and as per the previous post must do it safely.
*To be a bike lane there must be signage and road markings indicating its presence, if there is only one of these then you are in a road related area and must give way to all other vehicles using the road. Read the regulations form the link I gave you earlier, its all there.
I could agree with you, but then we would both be wrong.

Legalities aside, if you are traveling at near the speed of the vehicle and are in, or very nearly in, the vehicles blind spot as described you are tempting fate. Best not to stick around the rear half of a vehicle on the kerb side.

Re: Cars turning left over a bicycle only lane
Could some one then please tell me who should give way in the following scenario. in Brisbane QLD
My wife used to work at the Wesley Hospital.
She turned left from Land street, into Patrick Lane, to go into the Wesley Carpark.
There is no slip lane. There is a dedicated bike Lane.
There is lots and lots of bike traffic in the morning
She was always scared s#@tless that a cyclist would zoom past her as she was turning.
Does the bike lane override the rule, about not passing cars, who are indicating and turning left?
She said it was rare that a bike rider would actually stop behind her and wait for her to turn.
To those of you who use this particular route, please let us know, what you do and how you have interpreted the rules
Re: Cars turning left over a bicycle only lane
uppo75, yes the bike lane does take priority, it is a separate lane. I believe that in Victoria Rule 28 makes it pretty clear (Qld may differ, but I doubt it):
There are further exceptions if there is a multi-lane slip-lane and for drivers of long vehicles. It is legal for your wife to enter the bike lane for the last 50 metres before her turn and then turn from this, the left-most lane. She must give way to any cyclists in the bike lane before doing this of course, as for any lane changing maneuver.
For most people it is simply a case of indicating your intentions in advance and slowing down closer to the speed of bicycles to enable a smooth merge; rather than speeding to the turn, making a late indication and getting frustrated because you can't get through the bikes. Smooth steady driving always wins out.
Riding bikes in traffic - what seems dangerous is usually safe; what seems safe is often more dangerous.
Re: Cars turning left over a bicycle only lane
Here's a view of it looking at it from where we would see your wife approaching from the top and turning left (our right):
Basically IP is on the money, your wife should approach the intersection with her left indicator on and move onto the bike lane when safe to do so to occupy the bike lane. This is legal and provides certainty for all concerned. If she doesn't (ie stays in the main lane), then cyclists can legally ride up beside her in the bike lane and she has to give way to them as they are in their own lane and she wishes to cross it.
I could agree with you, but then we would both be wrong.
Re: Cars turning left over a bicycle only lane
Sorry to disagree, but I don't "think' your wife can move into the bike lane up to 50 metres before her left turn, because its not 'necessary for the driver to drive in the lane'. (see below).
Unfortunately, I also suspect that 'turning left' does not require motion. If so bikes ought not overtake to the left of the front car (at least) indicating an intention to turn left.
If this is correct, it becomes 'interesting' when you think of the status of the car sitting behind the front car also wanting to turn left but needing to drive straight first. I'd think they are not 'turning left' and can be overtaken on the left until they reach the intersection.
I know the intersection and the number of bikes. I overtake on the left with 'the group' so cars can then have a doubt free go - not wanting to push in - just think its for the best.
Transport Operations (Road Use Management—Road Rules) Regulation 2009
158 Exceptions to driving in special purpose lanes etc.
(1) The driver of any vehicle may drive for up to the permitted distance in a bicycle lane, bus lane, tram lane, transit lane or truck lane if it is necessary for the driver to drive in the lane—
(a) to enter or leave the road;
(b) to enter a part of the road of 1 kind from a part of the road of another kind (for example, moving to or from a service road, the shoulder of the road or an emergency stopping lane); or
(c) to overtake a vehicle that is—
(i) turning right, or making a U-turn from the centre of the road; and
(ii) giving a right change of direction signal; or
(d) to enter a marked lane, or a part of the road where there is room for a line of traffic, other than animals, bicycles, motorbikes or motorised wheelchairs, from the side of the road.
(4) In this section permitted distance means—
(a) for a bicycle lane or a tram lane—50m;
28 Starting a left turn from a multi-lane road
(1) A driver turning left at an intersection from a multi-lane road
must approach and enter the intersection from within the left
lane unless...
(3) In this section—
left lane means—
(a) the marked lane nearest to the far left side of the road; or
marked lane, for a driver, does not include a special purpose
lane in which the driver is not permitted to drive.
Schedule 5
special purpose lane means a marked lane, or the part of a
marked lane, that is a bicycle lane, bus lane, emergency
stopping lane, tram lane, transit lane or truck lane.
141 No overtaking etc. to the left of a vehicle
(2) The rider of a bicycle must not ride past, or overtake, to the
left of a vehicle that is turning left and is giving a left change
of direction signal.
Re: Cars turning left over a bicycle only lane
OK, dontazame your qualifiers are correct and present in the Victorian Road Rules as I read it. But all this seems at odds with Rule 158
I would read entering or leaving the road as including turning into another road, but maybe someone else can clear this up. I still think it is better practice to merge into the bike lane, but if you don't there still remains a general requirement to give way when entering another lane. I believe left-turning drivers must be aware of, and give way to, cyclists close to them in the bike lane.
Riding bikes in traffic - what seems dangerous is usually safe; what seems safe is often more dangerous.
Re: Cars turning left over a bicycle only lane
I'd agree unless there was some other provision. However, I say its irrelevant in the current case. When you look at the photo of the intersection, the 'bike lane' does not continue through the intersection; i.e. its not necessary for vehicles 'turning left' to dive in it.
I'm also not sure how I'd feel watching a car claim a bike lane for 50 metres before turning left. Maybe I'd be fine with it - karma.
I imagine a car that clobbers a cyclist in those situations is overtaking when its not safe to do (even if intending to turn left). Haven't looked into it.

Re: Cars turning left over a bicycle only lane
so dontazame if you are correct and there are enough cyclists riding along the bike lane, conceivably a car could never turn left as it has to give way to all cyclists passing through. clearly that is not the case nor the intention of the regulations.
I could agree with you, but then we would both be wrong.
Re: Cars turning left over a bicycle only lane
Whether or not the cyclelane is a legally lane or not (in some jurisdiction the term multilane road is defined to not include cyclelanes), its certainly a line of traffic, and if you are outside of that line of traffic you certainly have to give way to vehicles in that line of traffic to enter it. The same applies to cyclists trying to turn right beginning from a cyclelane. ie the restriction on motorists right-passing me when I am signalling a right turn realistically only exists when I'm not performing the lane or line change prior to the turn.
The law would strictly cover the scenario where the car slows down and indicates before turning left, and a cyclist behind the car responds to the car slowing down by moving over and attempting to left pass. Other circumstances are at best going to be both at fault.
Re: Cars turning left over a bicycle only lane
Interesting discussion and why I really don't like it when cycle lanes are continued right through to the stop line at junctions on the left side of left turning vehicles. I prefer the clearly defined situated where a car turning left must merge into a shared vehicle/cycle lane. Unfortunately these are few and far between!
As a driver, I have now learnt to enter the bike lane or shoulder on approach to the left turn before turning left from it. This has the benefit of preventing those who wish to tempt their removal from the gene pool from passing on the inside, as well as clearly showing my intention to turn. If it wasn't for reading this forum, I would never have learnt the need to enter the bike lane and I am definitely part of the minority as it is not clearly defined in any road rules or handbook.
As a cyclist, I will be very careful not to pass or draw alongside a vehicle with its left indicator on, unless I am in a cycle lane and the vehicles are stopped at a red light. Also, if there's no cycle lane, I never pass a vehicle with its left indicator on, on the left, as that is illegal in WA for good reason. That said, when I'm on the road it is generally 50km/h and below, any faster and I'm on the path, so your results may vary.
Re: Cars turning left over a bicycle only lane
This is one situation that needs some serious publicity to educate drivers.
Re: Cars turning left over a bicycle only lane
Not at all. Bikes cannot overtake on the left of a vehicle that is 'turning left' (etc). I suspect a vehicle is only 'turning left' once it reaches the intersection. So there might be 3 or four bikes next to the front car (that approached from behind) that have right of way over the front vehicle, and then another 3 or 4 by the time the second car arrives at the front, etc, etc.

Re: Cars turning left over a bicycle only lane
Just curious...is there a recognised method of marking a bike lane so that cars must not STOP in it (i.e., they must leave room for cyclists to move up to the front of the intersection), but do have right of way to cross it for turning?
There is http://goo.gl/maps/t8NcA of course, which is usually pretty full of cyclists around peak hour. Seems like an accident waiting to happen, but not sure what the stats are.
Re: Cars turning left over a bicycle only lane
+1 They also normally make it illegal for the cyclist to 'claim the lane' and I sometimes wonder if that is their main intent.

The temporary shelters and outdoors furniture are located near the community garden at Tempelhof Airport. The aim of the space is to provide a place for kids and youngsters to learn all sort of crafts using recycled materials like wood, tires, shipping pallets and banners. The space is was made from donated scrap materials from creative scrap yard Kunst-Stoffe and some remainins from last year's Bread & Butter, held at the nearby airport's main building.
Rough and ready, the recycled structures take random, sometimes irregular shapes, but the message is clear: "This is not a dumping place for your trash." The kids from Youth Art Neukölln are still busy building new shelters, together with artists, social workers, architects and local residents.

As for the neighbor to the North, it seems Australia will give Indonesia 4 used C-130 cargo aircraft and the U.S. will sell them 24 used F-16s.
And here is a smart play. Australia will hand over $112M to Indonesian farmers. Gee, that is what we really need in the region: help the most populous and impoverished country get even bigger. Real smart.
Gillard says the basing of 2500 U.S. Marines in Australia is not pointed at any specific nation.
Ms Gillard then told Dr Yudhoyono - known by his initials SBY - that the US and Australian forces could train with Indonesian military personnel to improve disaster management.
''After Ms Gillard's explanation, SBY was very happy. SBY suggested that the military training involved all ASEAN members, and that she should also invite China,'' said presidential spokesman Julian Aldrin Pasha.
Involving China would improve trust with the US, particularly given tensions over territorial disputes in the South China Sea. It would also increase stability and provide a security environment conducive to economic growth, the Indonesian leader said, according to accounts given to The Age.
Yes. Because China has been so peaceful about their intentions in the South China Sea.
