advise of any mid-week news please let me know
April 21st 2016 marked the 90th Birthday of Her Majesty The Queen and I was pleasantly surprised to see that National Express have made the congratulations to The Queen with an appropriate logo on their coaches as shown below.
I would like to add the congratulations of OCBP to those shown.
Her Majesty's official birthday is on Saturday June 11th, when Trooping the Colour takes place on Horse Guards Parade.
May The Queen enjoy more years of health and happiness!
Roadworks, seemingly ever present in and around Oxford continue unabated! Recently the works at Peartree caused unbelievable delays with journeys of a few minutes taking over one hour. As ever the main complaint recorded in the local press mentioned the apparent lack of anything happening. The works surrounding the rebuilding of Westgate also add to the delays and often it can taken more than a 5 minute wait before the contraflow traffic lights change in ones favour. This is not doing anything to enhance our bus and coach services and if anything visitor numbers are down.
The flow of new buses to operations in our City have now reduced and only limited items of interest appear. One of special mention is the overall wrap for Oxford Bus and a new service by the airline to Birmingham Airport commencing from July 2nd . Further details can be found by clicking on the banner below.
This is the latest new express service offered to local residents. Obviously connections can be made from local services and also from Lewknor on the inbound airline services.
Late news: Volvo Interdecker 61 appeared last weekend repainted in dark blue airline livery with Birmingham added to the Gatwick and Heathrow branding. I am told 62-4 are also to receive similar treatment.
Oxford's 61, in its new livery, serving Lewknor on a Gatwick bound service.
May 16th by Malcolm Crowe.
The coaches which are being considered for the service are within the batch 21-25 as there are some tight turns in Warwick which might cause problems for the Interdeckers, time will tell.
To promote this new service E400 231 has been given an overall wrap which is most impressive. Pictures from Gavin Francis, taken on its first day in service are shown below.
Pictures taken on 27th April 2016 by Gavin Francis.
Further down the page I have included more pictures of overall wraps on LTs and other types in London.
I was delighted to receive pictures from Trevor Wilson of a bus I once drove in Oxford on the 700. This is 22764 now in and around Carlisle.
Gavin Francis attended this spring's Brooklands event and has provided some nice pictures and Marcus Lapthorn recently visited Gibraltar and we can share his findings on this outpost of the U.K.
Gordon Scott has been busy north of the border recording happenings and of course new buses at Alexander's Falkirk factory.
Finally I had a pleasant outing to Plaxtons at Anston near Sheffield and found some interesting vehicles awaiting buyers.
This issue with its various worldwide locations might truly be thought of as an International Edition of OCBP.

Oxfordshire Bus Enthusiasts Society
The Oxfordshire Bus Enthusiasts Society was formed in June 2010 and aims
to provide an informal monthly social meeting in Oxford for those
with an interest in buses. Meetings are normally held on the 3rd Tuesday
of each month and normally take the form of a picture show with
local and guest speakers. A small charge is made to cover the cost
of hiring the function room and this is usually around £1 for members
per meeting depending on numbers. For
non-members a charge of £3 per head is made.
the location of the meetings
The Tree Hotel
The restaurant is open well before the meeting and serves a wide
variety of British and Indian dishes.
The Tree Hotel is about 5 minutes walk from bus stops on Iffley Road served by frequent bus service number 3 (jointly operated by Oxford Bus/Stagecoach).
For the walking route from the nearest bus stop, here is a MAP.
A detailed programme of meetings & events can be found at the following link and we hope many of you will attend future meetings.
When readers take copies of pictures from the OCBP site
Some of the contributors to this site have noticed that their pictures are appearing on e-bay sites selling such things.
Needless to say this is a theft of copyright and one which I deplore!
I would not wish to have to watermark photographs, thereby making them unsalable as such but if this practice continues I shall be left with no alternative. I am sure this would detract from the pleasure so many of you get from the OCBP.
May I please ask readers to do two things?
1/ If you see any photos on sale please let me know and where they are appearing.
2/ If you are someone who has copied and sold photos please desist as this is theft and I will have to take legal action against anyone found doing so.
The site is free to all readers and I pay a price to publish the pages which is not passed on.
Please respect those freedoms and I hope I may not have to mention this matter again.
The level of contribution to this page by readers, as ever, remains excellent! Thank you all.

"I was in Southampton a few days ago and noted the new and long
wheelbase Bluestar ADL E20DMMCs on route 18, as well as shorter First City
Red Wright StreetLites, as attached. Although outside our area these
views may be of interest to you.

"Stagecoach Glasgow have introduced into service a batch of E400MMC'S onto the X25/X25A services between Glasgow and Cumbernauld."
"In addition Plaxton coach 54123 has been repainted into a advertising livery for this years T IN THE Park with Scottish Citylink being the official transport provider to the event in july at Strathallan which usually involves many different operators with both buses and coaches."

The company was also the first to announce its intentions in relation to its
subsidised network in Oxfordshire, following the County Council's decision
to cease funding for local bus services. Lightly used services based on
Charlbury and Woodstock will be withdrawn, but routes in Kidlington and
Wallingford will continue on more limited timetables and with higher fares.
At the same time, the Hungerford to Lambourn service will cease due to
funding cuts by West Berkshire Council. The future of the Lambourn to
Swindon section is as yet undecided."

Lewis Nagle
writes regarding changes in Wycombe for Arriva, Carousel and First "Upcoming
changes which start on the 5th June involve the withdrawal of the Sunday
service of the 74, replaced to Beaconsfield by a new short 740 and the
X74 will hold the full Slough service. The 63/68 services are also withdrawn
between Slough and Maidenhead, and route 40 gains a few extra journeys in
the evening and on Sundays. Finally, it appears Carousel have won Sunday
route 48A from Vale in council tenders and will begin operation of that on the 5th
between Wycombe and Great Missenden."
Gavin Francis writes "3703 pictured on your page had an electrical fire in Slough on 30th
March. Unusually for Arriva it was not completely burnt out.
Neil Gow writes "And here is a shot of a Max Citaro on the 280."

Luke Braham writes "Mercedes Benz Citaro 3019 BD12 DJF has arrived at Aylesbury from Arriva
Midlands' Tamworth depot. It is here for an increase in the PVR on the X60
which required an extra bus as of the 1st May. This has also
increased the amount of Citaros at Aylesbury to 16 with this being the only
example in Arriva's standard livery.

As one can see it is branded for the 320 service!
Ian Rivett writes "I believe that the three Carousel StreetLites 407-409 were registered by Wrightbus on May 9th as SK16GXX/Y/Z."
This is indeed correct as advised by Phil Southall, Managing Director of Oxford Bus and Alistair Liddle, a regular visitor to Heysham Docks, where he has seen these buses.
They were incorrectly given City of Oxford legals by Wrights and these have been changed by Oxford Bus whilst branding has been applied for the P&R service.
Pictures from Alistair Liddle.
Phil Southall advises
"We hope to have all three vinyled up at OBC by
the end of the week to enter service next week leading to 417 and 2 Tempo's
coming off service.
Lewis Nagle writes "The blue
StreetLites were spotted in Ballymena last week (12th May) and have since
been delivered to Oxford. There they are most likely currently being
stickered up ready for the Park & Ride service. They feature a new interior
moquette as well as next-stop announcements.
Once they've been stickered up, the StreetLites
currently on the PR1 (403-5) will be debranded and then have the Link livery
applied for service on the 40/730/740/A40 services.
StreetLites 407,408 and 409 will be at Carousel this weekend (21-22 May)
ready for use next week.
StreetLites 403,404 and 405 will be rebranded Link on Monday 23rd

In my last issue I stated that four StreetLites were due for Oxford.
This was incorrect for which I apologise.

GXH/J/M/N, credited to OBC are actually at Rotala, Diamond Bus and are B40F.
Phil Southall, MD of Oxford Bus writes "231 is now in an overall advert livery for Airline and entered service on the X3 on April 27th."

"When I was in Thame on 19 April the local town
service operated by Vale Travel had an original Dennis Dart with step
entrance. Couldn't get a photo unfortunately. To be fair the driver made a
big effort to help with shopping trollies on boarding the vintage L116HHV.
I'm not a Thame regular so not sure if its the regular vehicle but Oxford

An interesting comparison 50520 - Y358LCK on

I am always pleased to hear about buses which once worked in Oxfordshire and Trevor Wilson has obliged.
Trevor Wilson writes "I have some photos of Stagecoach Cumbria ex Oxford 27764 OU58GKE which is now based at Stagecoach Cumbria and North Lancashire Carlisle depot."
Seen here working Carlisle Citi service 67, on
April 16th, which is
normally worked by 14 plate ADL E200s.
"Stagecoach Cumbria and North Lancs MAN E300 22764 OU58GKE now allocated to
Carlisle depot. This is one of three ex Stagecoach Oxford vehicles now in
Carlisle, the others being 22761 OU09BZR and 22763 OU58GKD. (For info,
22762 OU58GKC is allocated to Morecambe.) Also allocated to Carlisle
is 22873 SP09DPK, 22887 SP09DOH and 22889 SP09DOU ex Stagecoach Scotland
(East Scotland?). (The rest of the SP09 allocation being at
Morecambe.) These 2 groups of MAN E300s were cascaded in to replace
older (X reg? MAN E300) in order to meet the January 2016 disability
requirements. The 4 MAN E300 at Carlisle are temporary. During
the great floods of late 2015, a section of the A591 between Grasmere and
Keswick was washed away (at Dunmail Rise and Thirlmere - 4km of road badly
affected) and thus severely disrupting the flagship 555
Lancaster-Kendal-Windermere-Ambleside-Keswick service operated by Scania
d/ds. For several weeks the 555 operated as 2 sections,
Lancaster-Grasmere and a temporary Kendal-Penrith via M6 to connect with the
X4/X5 Penrith-Keswick-Cockermouth-Workington. The various highways
authorities then put in place a partial temporary single track roadway
around the worst washout and utilising a single track c class road along the
wrong side of Thirlmere a temporary 555 shuttle service commenced between
Grasmere and Keswick. Due to the temporary road, the service operated
initially with 2 x Solos transferred from Carlisle to Kendal depot, then 4 x
Solos (2 more Carlisle to Keswick transfer) and currently 4 x E200 (4 E200
from Carlisle to Kendal and the 4 x Solos go back to Carlisle) thus
providing capacity equivalent to the Scania d/ds. So the OU58 and SP09 E300
MANs at Carlisle are temporary to cover the allocation shortfall.
These E300 MANs are normally seen on the 79/179 Carlisle-Longtown-Gretna-Annan-Dumfries
(also operated by PX59 E300 MANs) or 67 Carlisle Citi service (normally
operated by YX14 E200) or 61/61A Carlisle Citi services (normally operated
by YJ15 Solos).

Gibraltar by
Marcus Lapthorn
Have just spent a few days in Gibraltar where the top temperature was 23c and came back to 3c here! There are two principal bus companies in Gibraltar with the Government operating nearly all routes with 20 Euro 6 Caetano MAN Lion's City midi single deckers. These appear to be very well cared for and they have to have short wheel based buses for there are very narrow roads and lots of parking, causing it to be a tight squeeze for the buses to get around. These buses seem to have a fairly high failure rate which seems to be solely due to problems with the doors. Gibraltar has numerous bus stops and the opening doors therefore take quite a hammering being operated every 3 or 4 minutes.
MAN midibus 9504 120416, MAN midibus 9516 route 2 at Europa Point 120416 and
9517 all taken on 12th April.
Lion City 5146, 872 and 8992 all taken on April
The other operator is Calypso Transport Ltd trading as Citibus and they operate route 5 between the airport/Spanish frontier and the city centre. This route operates a high frequency service which runs right across the airport runway! When a plane is about to land or take off, the road is closed by barriers and traffic lights and 'stingers' are placed on the edge of the runway to prevent vehicles from driving through the barriers and onto the runway.
They own a 1980 ECW bodied Leyland B45 former Baghdad demonstrator, which is currently awaiting a new MOT certificate, having been overhauled. Two employees (father & son) have had to make replacement parts for the engine which now runs very sweetly.
Citibus also own a 1981 Willowbrook bodied
Leyland Atlantean, which had been built for Baghdad, but never operated
there. This is out of service and has been for some time now.
Another job for the mechanics is to work on former
Gibraltar Bus Co Caetano Nimbus Darts. They purchased 14 and are
endeavouring to make 10 of these roadworthy, with the rest going for scrap.
Citibus also operate 2 ex Berlin MAN deckers plus air conditioned (lovely!) MAN low floor single deckers from Germany, Lichtenstein, Austria and Switzerland.
To end I thought that this was a real classic for
buses in Gib!
Gibraltar is a nice place to visit with a very
relaxed atmosphere about it.

Oxford Bus Company in pictures by John Goodwin
Thought I would share some of my work from a recent trip to Oxford - click on the link below:
Oxford Bus Company (21.04.2016) - Buspix
X90 – old
and new
It's well over a decade since I last drove a bus
or coach in passenger service -- nowadays I drive even larger, heavier
vehicles, namely 8-car Metropolitan Line trains, and will shortly be a
driver-instructor too -- but it's great to catch up from time to time.
Your website is invaluable.
During a 12-minute layover at Baker Street a while
ago I popped upstairs and was able to capture X90 Interdecker no.72
negotiating the turn into Baker Street on its way to Victoria.
I made that turn hundreds of times, but never in a 15-metre behemoth
like that one!
On Sunday 1 May my brother Rupert and I attended
the Abingdon air & country fair, better known as the Abingdon Airshow.
Among many ground-based attractions there were a couple of OBC
vehicles; one was a modern
low-floor red double-decker I didn't pay much attention to -- sorry -- but
the other was an old friend! I
knew her as Coach 16 (V16 OXF, re-delivered to Cowley Road Bus Garage ex
refurbishment in partial "espress" livery in February 2004, see photo).
Coach 16 was even my steed for my morning X90 trip on my last-ever
shift at OBC back in November 2004 (see photo).
Your pages show that she became became an OBC
training vehicle back in mid-2007, direct out of front-line X90 service.
I seem to recall there was some legislation introduced around then
that required the training vehicles to be of a particular standard, but I
forget the details (tachographs possibly), does anyone recall?
Anyway, V284SBW was at Abingdon Airshow with an
instructor, and for a small donation to charity members of the public could
have a drive round a short loop of somewhat lumpy tarmac.
Of course I did! I was
wondering if I should let about on my experience... when I got in the seat
the instructor's first question was "Have you driven a large vehicle
so I had to admit "Yes, this actual coach, I was
an X90 driver for 4 years!" to which he smirked and said "I'd better keep
quiet and let you get on with it then!".
I must confess it was a thrill to get back into
the seat and turn the key, and feel the solid clunk of the starter-solenoid
and the understated growl as the Volvo B10M stirred beneath me.
The air-brakes took a bit of getting used to once again, but on my
last lap I even applied kick-down on the short straight section of old
runway: it felt like I'd never
been away. :) My brother then
had a go too -- he would undoubtedly have commuted on this coach in the
early 2000s -- and despite zero experience he soon got the hang of it.
Afterwards I had a look round the coach.
Only the front 4 (right) and 5(left) rows of minty-green "espress" seats have
been retained, so behind them there's an empty saloon with just scuff-marks
and power-points indicating where the seats used to be;
a window has been replaced with a non-tinted version, and the toilet
door has been plated shut presumably to avoid having to maintain the
A fine trip down memory lane, and top marks to
Oxford Bus for providing this opportunity to the community.
Stagecoach variety in the Interchange with Gold 15194 branded for the X17
service to Chesterfield.
Stagecoach has a fleet of Hybrids for use on the joint with First 120.
My steed for the journey to Anston was a 58 plate Volvo nr 37516 seen
loading for the journey to Dinnington.
My first glimpse of Plaxtons with 50266 ready for collection. The yard of
second hand coaches can be seen in the background.
A left hand drive E500 in the yard, I know not wherefore.
Three of the four Scan ia/Levante tri-axles from Megabus and once the pride
of SC Gloucester for 444 National Express service.
I spent a pleasant two days at Gloucester working the 444 with 59301 seen in
the middle of the line above.
Yet another coach I have driven was this ex Noah Vale Scania once the pride
of Oxford Bus on the X90 as their nr 3.
This was new when I was working for OBC and they were very fine coaches.
An interesting line up of ex Weavaway Group coaches including some of the ex
National Express(Parks) Skyliners.
Finally a few new buses for Go Ahead and Stagecoach London.
A most enjoyable day and a return journey with 50266 in just under four hours, including long delays through Birmingham on the M42. And... 50266 ran like a dream, a lovely coach indeed.

be seen from the photographs, vehicles had received Arriva The Shires fleet
names and legal lettering but retained their Oxford fleet numbers.
The other
major event was the enforced sale of the Lutonian operation by Arriva the
Both Arriva
The Shires and Arriva East Herts & Essex continued to repaint vehicles into
Arriva livery though there were still many in previous liveries.
Elsewhere in
the region M K Metro continued their policy of purchasing various
interesting secondhand vehicles. Some of these came from Border Buses – the

The Most CONSERVATIVE Argument In My Lifetime Has Been...
"Well... if you're not doing anything wrong, why would you care what the government does with your privacy?"
NOT THE FUCKING POINT !!! And it is amazing, that at this time, in this place... We get these arguments here... The nation, and many in the Democratic Party, have moved so far right that... The Bill of Rights, and the Constitution, are now Leftist Manifestos. OTOH... In a way, they always were. That's why I still try to defend and protect them in my own little way.

5. Without the Fourth Amendment, a corrupt officer could enter my home and plant evidence.
Maybe the officer wants to even the score with me regarding a personal matter. Without the Fourth Amendment, he could plant evidence when he enters my home and say, "See! I suspected this fellow was a criminal. It's a good thing I acted on my suspicions."
The same thing goes for wiretapping. A corrupt officer could tap my line, conjure up a faked recording of me (it is not impossible to do so in this digital age) and say, "See! I suspected this fellow was plotting a crime. It's a good thing that I acted on my suspicions." The Fourth Amendment is an aid in protecting all of us law-abiding citizens against potential corruption on the part of authorities. I want to make it clear that I do not believe that there exist many corrupt officers who are willing to plant evidence. However, the due-process hurdle that the Fourth Amendment presents with regard to the procurement of search warrants helps to assure that there will not be an increase in the number of whatever few corrupt officers may exist. |

Cisco Introduces Next Generation Internet Router
Cisco has introduced its new Internet core router, CRS-3, which is more powerful than its current platform.
Cisco Systems has unveiled a new Internet core router called the CRS-3, which it claims has three times the capacity of its current platform.
PC World reports Cisco Chairman and CEO John Chambers as saying:
At full scale, the CRS-3 has a capacity of 322T bits per second, roughly three times that of the CRS-1, which was introduced in 2004. It also has more than 12 times the capacity of its nearest competitor. The CRS-3 will help the Internet evolve from a messaging to an entertainment and media platform, with video the emerging "killer app".

Leavenworth Free State High's soccer team blanked Leavenworth, 2-0, on Tuesday at the Pioneers' field.
Diego Gonzalez scored both goals off assists from Daniel Chance. Jackson McClure and Elliot Johnson combined for the shutout in goal.
Will Libeer and Tyler Smith were cited for strong play in the midfield.
"We were up the first half, 2-0, despite playing poorly. We were flat, lacked focus," FSHS coach Jason Pendleton said. "Despite not scoring any more goals, we played much better and created more opportunities the second half. We were more organized. Neither one was good enough," added Pendleton.
Free State (3-0) has outscored its opponents, 8-0, this season.
The Firebirds will meet Olathe Northwest at 6:15 p.m. Thursday at Free State.

Cupertino's newest hardware may have us purring, but Apple hasn't left those of us with existing hardware out in the cold. iOS 6 should be appearing as an available update right now, or at least very shortly — depending on how taxed those servers get.

So are the HID lights an option or do they come with a certain package? I've been looking at 2010-2012 and most if not all that have leather seats (which I am looking for) have the headlights without the HID's. Do you know the particulars on this. Also, what happened to the dual climate? I saw it on the R series but nothing on the GTI's. thx
Dual-zone climate control hasn't been on a GTI (any trim) since 2007 until now with the R only!
HID headlights are part of the autobahn/tech package and sunroof/nav package for 2011 and 2012 and were a standalone option for 2010 (basically everything was a la carte and was an $800 option).
Just a heads up everyone, I've been quoted $23,500 for a trade-in, so $24,500 is the lowest I can go.

BLOOMINGTON Was what we saw Thursday night Indiana at its best? And if it was, why did it only just arrive?
The Hoosiers have talked since the preseason about wanting to score often and efficiently. It's the system coach Tom Crean has always preached, and it's what worked for IU the previous two seasons.
"There's never a time that anybody in here is trying to play a deliberate style of basketball," Crean said after Thursday's game.
But this Indiana team – the one on the wrong side of the NCAA Tournament bubble – hasn't shown up often during Big Ten season.
Thursday's 93-86 win over Iowa marked just the second time Indiana hit at least 80 points in conference play (the other being the loss at Illinois). The Hoosiers hadn't scored more than 66 points since beating Wisconsin 75-72 on Jan. 14.
Crean pointed to decision making (cutting down on turnovers, primarily) as one reason why Indiana has sometimes exercised greater patience. And he pointed out that the Big Ten has its share of "teams … that really have no interest in having any type of pace."
Still, the point remains: Indiana wants to run the floor, sometimes looks very good doing it, and hasn't been able to do it consistently this season.
So what changed against Iowa?
The Hawkeyes are probably the only other team in the Big Ten comfortable at a breakneck pace; leading the conference in scoring by more than six points per game.
The Hoosiers had a willing partner in their stock-car race of a game Thursday. But some of it was down to them as well.
"We finally just said, 'Let's just play our game, play the way coach Crean's been wanting us to play since Day 1,'<TH>" freshman forward Stanford Robinson said. "We just decided to run with them."
The previous two seasons, the Hoosiers were one of the country's best offensive teams, leading the Big Ten in points per game. Their points-per-possession averages – a measurement that looks purely at efficiency – were top-five nationally.
Balanced, explosive and deep, Indiana had a scoring machine that few outside of Wisconsin or upstate New York could turn off. This Indiana team, however, lacks experience and shooting ability.
But Thursday, IU enjoyed extended periods of high-energy, high-scoring basketball reminiscent of the Hoosiers at their best in the last two years.
There was an 8-0 run produced in less than a minute to erase an early Iowa lead, and senior forward Will Sheehey, filling the role of Cody Zeller, was beating defenders down the floor for fastbreak dunks and layups. Indiana has a Big Ten-high 16 assists and its 21 fast-break points were its second most.
"Our team, from the start, was built to run like this," Sheehey said.
So what happened Thursday? Was Iowa just an able foil? Or is Indiana ready to force opponents to play at the speed it wants to?
Put simply: Iowa might have let Indiana play faster, but the Hoosiers won because they were the better team at that pace.
If there is to be an end-of-season resurgence for Indiana, playing like the teams the previous two seasons could provide the cornerstone of that turnaround.

"There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs."

Take the wacky comedy out of "I Love Lucy" and you'll have some idea about "A Quiet Little Marriage," a movie that creates a convincing and serious portrait of a marriage using near-sitcom-level situations.
Take the wacky comedy out of "I Love Lucy" and you'll have some idea about "A Quiet Little Marriage," a movie that creates a convincing and serious portrait of a marriage using near-sitcom-level situations. Small, intimate and genuine, "Marriage" could flourish on the specialized circuit, though there will likely be widely varying reactions to the seesaw of emotions writer-director Mo Perkins makes the viewer ride.
Olive (Mary Elizabeth Ellis) and Dax (Cy Carter) have a healthy sex life, mutual interests and problematic relatives: Olive's father, Bruce (Michael O'Neill), is disappearing into the fog of Alzheimer's; Dax's brother, Jackson (Jimmi Simpson), is a junkie who drops by for loans, or couch space, most recently in the company of his nonverbal companion, Sylvia (Lucy DeVito). Although debuting helmer Mo Perkins' script doesn't belabor the issue, the couple's outside problems create intimate, and contradictory, responses: Olive suddenly needs to have a baby. Dax wants to avoid paternity at all costs. Having staked out their respective philosophies on reproduction (in one of the film's better scenes, full of disappointment and sudden estrangement), Olive and Dax become increasingly desperate. They like to drink, and in an overture to one wine-fueled bout of sex, Olive heats up a safety pin and punches holes in her diaphragm. It's an appalling act, one that shifts the viewer's sympathies toward Dax. Of course, when he finds out and starts surreptitiously putting birth-control pills in Olive's morning coffee, those sympathies shift back. Or, more likely, into neutral. If this were a comedy, the battle for Olive's womb would be hilarious, but it isn't. Rather, pic portrays two people — who allegedly, and evidently, love each other — driven to a kind of insanity, ostensibly by the disorder they're experiencing elsewhere in their lives). It's the stuff of ruined matrimony and lifelong resentments, and some auds might find Perkins' treatment of it all a bit too light, not lending enough gravity to the couple's emotional sabotage. Ellis and Carter are both likable, but not so charming that we totally forgive them; they're "normal" without being boring. Simpson, as the disreputable Jackson, is sleaze on a stick. DeVito doesn't actually have any lines, but her sullenness is eloquent. Director's stylistic embellishments — for example, the stuttery, intermittent sequences that show Olive and Dax restless in bed and stealing the covers — seem a bit banal for a movie that leans toward such profound human issues. Otherwise, production values are good, notably Dave Lux's score and Eric S. Zimmerman's DV shooting.A Quiet Little Marriage

#3997 enhancement new
Replace getProcess* helpers with a single, better, API.
Reported by: | spiv | Owned by: | |
Priority: | normal | Milestone: | |
Component: | core | Keywords: | |
Cc: | khorn, Tom Prince | Branch: | |
Author: |
I think the subprocess module has the right idea: give you a single good way to start a function, and declare whether you want to capture/discard/ignore the various stdio streams etc, and then return an object with useful attributes.
So I propose that instead of getProcessValue
, getProcessOutput
, getProcessOutputAndValue
(did I miss any?) we have a single method, that takes args like:
foo(stdout=fileLikeObject, ...)
and returns a Deferred that yields an object with a .exitValue
attribute, and perhaps others (for finding out if a signal terminated it, maybe?). Returning an object certainly seems like a much better API than e.g. the tuples from getProcessOutputAndValue
. Obviously this new function would need a better name than foo
Probably any new API here should try to address the problems with the existing APIs described by exarkun in a comment at http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/280.
Quite possibly the proposal in this vague sketch could be improved even further. Please feel free to criticise, suggest improvements, suggest more precise details for the signature, etc. I figured it was better to capture a rough idea than forget it entirely.
Change History (7)
comment:1 follow-up: 2 Changed 7 years ago by
A single, perfect, simple and powerful API that did everything with processes would be nice, but a difficult goal to attain.
A shorter-term stepping-stone might be to supply a few IProcessProtocol
implementations that can be used with .spawnProcess()
to handle common scenarios, including:
- adapting an ordinary
to talk to a subprocess (hooked up to stdin/stdout, stderr and exit codes ignored) - taking a string and writing it to the child's stdin; provides a Deferred that will be callback'd with the process's output if it exited cleanly, and errback'd if the process is killed by a signal.
I guess browsing the docs of the subprocess
stdlib module and various uses of .spawnProcess
in the Twisted codebase (and any other Twisted-based code you have handy) would be a good way of finding use-cases.
comment:2 Changed 7 years ago by
Replying to Screwtape:
- adapting an ordinary
to talk to a subprocess (hooked up to stdin/stdout, stderr and exit codes ignored)
I want to do this all the time. connectProcess
, maybe? Let's make that a separate ticket. (I am sympathetic to the goals of this ticket, but it is only distantly related; getProcess*
are more about simple scripts that do one thing with a subprocess that fires a Deferred
; connectProcess
is more about an explicit mapping between IProcessProtocol
and IProtocol
(which should look much more different than they currently do).
comment:3 Changed 7 years ago by
Cc: | khorn added |
comment:4 Changed 6 years ago by
OK, connectProcess
would be a silly idea; it should be a process endpoint. This particular ticket may be too broad to be resolved usefully though, I'm thinking of closing it as invalid and just opening a new one for IProtocol
comment:5 Changed 6 years ago by
It would probably be a good idea to look at all of the "spawnProcess sucks" tickets and figure out a plan that addresses more than just one of them.

The Spot
Café · Breakfast & brunch Restaurant - Community CentreThe original idea behind The Spot was to create a comfortable, relaxed place that encourages visitors to meet with friends and mingle with others. It's important that our visitors have easy access to a vast collection of resources that educate them about living life as an expat in Prague.We want expats to feel at home while living abroad.

PRZOOM - /newswire/ - Raleigh, NC, United States, 2009/06/16 - Company officials credit Phase I success to knowledge, experience and a process that works - MetricsInc.com.
Metrics Inc. recently completed its 100th first in man Phase I study, a significant milestone within the contract pharmaceutical development industry. This achievement reflects two important facts about Metrics: One, we have demonstrated scientific expertise in Phase I work and, two, weve had such scientific expertise for quite a while, said Dr. Thomas B. Gold, director of pharmaceutical development and new technology. As defined by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, a Phase I study introduces an investigational new drug into humans. Closely monitored and usually conducted in healthy volunteers, a Phase I study assesses issues such as safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, and normally includes dose escalation. Armed with such information, pharmaceutical companies can design a well-controlled and scientifically valid Phase II study. A Phase I study presents special challenges that Metrics seasoned scientists are experienced in handling, such as formulating the active and inactive components of an investigational drug and determining the correct dosage, Gold said. Metrics has particular expertise in oral dosing. Theres a good deal of science in a Phase I study in terms of chemical and physical compatibility of the active pharmaceutical ingredient with other functional components within the tablet or capsule, Gold said. The fact weve managed more than 100 first in man studies for leading companies proves weve got an excellent process for conducting Phase I work and our clients know it. Last year, Metrics completed an $18-million, 47,000-square-foot expansion that doubled its overall facility size and dramatically grew service offerings to clients. Because of its expansion, Metrics capacity for Phase I work increased and the company now can conduct more such studies concurrently. Metrics also can scale up studies as needed through Phase III and commercial, keeping them under one roof. Metrics facility addition included a new larger scale manufacturing facility with a production capability of 1 billion tablets per year; four new analytical laboratories; stability storage; a totally segregated cytotoxic and potent compound development facility; and a microbiology laboratory. Headquartered in Greenville, N.C., Metrics Inc. (metricsinc.com) provides quality pharmaceutical formulation development, clinical trial material (Phase I, II and III) and commercial manufacturing, and analytical development/validation services to the pharmaceutical industry. The company is one of the fastest-growing contract pharmaceutical development laboratories in the United States today.

Rothewald crimper set with
Ratchet Funktion
FunCard points
Rothewald crimper set with
Ratchet Funktion
Crimping is cool. In fact, the word itself has a certain ring to it. And a crimping tool like the one from Rothewald is also very handy to use. What more could you wish for when it comes to connecting cables with ring terminals, lugs and connectors? Best of all is the professional crimping set with three different crimping jaws.
The crimper has a ratchet function, which is very handy for crimping connectors and cable lugs with or without insulation. The end result is durable, strong and neat connections. What's more, this crimper is very reliable in use because it features automatic actuation, which ensures that it always crimps with uniform compression. Crimping is great!
The three different crimping jaws:
- Jaws marked "A" for vehicle connectors with coloured insulation (cable cross-sections 0.5-1.0/ 1.5-2.5/ 4-6 mm2 )
- Jaws marked "B" for non-insulated connectors with a closed barrel (cable cross-sections 1.5/ 2.5/ 6/ 10 mm2 )
- Jaws marked "C" for Japanese connectors with two-part crimping and retrofitted insulation (cable cross-sections 0.5-1.0/1.5-2.5/4-6 mm2)

Tonight the girls and I ate vegan. Roasted cauliflower and potato gnocchi. It was good, if monochromatic. We had covered most of the other colors earlier in the day. Addy picked the herbs from our pretty indoor plant and Elena helped me break up the cauliflower for roasting. We all enjoyed it, especially the roasted cauliflower which had been tossed with olive oil, salt, pepper and fresh rosemary and sage. There was extra since I roasted the whole head. I froze it for another day.
Normally I like this meal with fresh grated Parmesan cheese but since I was trying to be vegan we left that off. If I'd had toasted pine nuts they would have added a nice crunch.

How can HR make sure its next open enrollment is as headache-free as possible? Timing and technology can be key. First and foremost, start planning—now.
Start Early
It's almost never too early to start planning when it comes to open enrollment. Many HR managers find success in reviewing their company's employee benefits early in the current year, for the coming year. The decision-making process regarding whether to stay with the current benefit package or go with something new should be ongoing.
Assess Changing Needs
There are many factors that make up the decision to stay with the old or to go with the new, chief among them being costs and employee profile changes. Questions to consider include:
Being able to access, understand and define current benefit information is key for HR managers. Having systems in place to capture enrollment data is helpful in answering such questions as how many employees are opting for high-deductible health plans vs. traditional higher premium/lower deductible options. Answer such questions can help determine whether an organization is meeting the needs of its workforce adequately.
Develop a Plan of Attack
After HR has pulled together and assessed data on employees and dependents, the next step is seeking competitive bids for employee benefits. Many managers find that six months in advance is not too early to begin surveying the market, allowing:
With an initial 90 days previously allotted to capturing and analyzing employee and dependent demographic data, that leaves only about a 90-day period during the year when HR has a respite from being involved in some part of planning for the next open enrollment—a never-ending cycle of reviewing, analyzing and planning.
Prepare a Communications Campaign
Having a system to inform employees about changes to their benefit options in advance of open enrollment is vital, whether it be via e-mail, intranet, podcast, twitter or even old-fashioned employee memos.
Each employee needs to have a complete packet of information and enrollment forms from each plan--health insurance, dental, life, disability, vision and the like. Many companies are moving from paper-based open enrollment to performing almost all aspects through an automated process.
HR might want to take inventory in advance to ensure that its insurance brokers and benefit provider representatives are on hand to explain plan options and to answer questions from employees. Many HR managers note greater success when plenty of advanced notice is given to employees regarding benefits enrollment meetings.
Smart Use of Technology
Early in the year, automated open enrollment systems can slice and dice employee data to analyze patterns and make projections of needs. Later, fulfillment can be simplified by making information available online. Automated systems can be used to verify that employees have completed necessary changes and to transmit enrollment data electronically to carriers through secure electronic connections. HR can use technology to set up alerts throughout the year, with reminders of when updates need to be made.
With all of the details required in the open enrollment process, it can easily become a headache-prone project. Well-planned processes and smart technology can help ease the pain for HR and everyone involved.
