Keeping up with researchers needs and improving instrument performance requires technical advancements to take place. The Technology section describes some of the current and past Technical Development Projects of the Imaging Unit involving the Flow Cytometry Core Lab.
The following sections provide information on several current and past technological projects developed at the Imaging Unit, involving the Flow Cytometry Core Facility.
Based on the high rate of new user arrivals and the speed that the technology evolves, there is a continuous demand to provide users with the necessary theoretical and practical background. Therefore, there is a an increasing need to organize specific workshops to meet these demands, and give people the chance to become as independent as possible in their research.
We regularly schedule dates and open applications for the respective courses below. When that happens will announce them through e-mail, but you can also check the course status in the table below. You can then find more information about the course in the respective tab (including the registration link).

The course will cover the fundamentals of Flow Cytometry, but will mostly focus on the main applications run at the IGC.Topics include Planning a Flow Experiment, Cell Dynamics (cell death, cell cycle, proliferation), Multicolor Flow, Small Particle analysis, High Throughput Flow, Cell Sorting as well as Data Analysis and Publishing. Both experienced and inexperienced researchers are encouraged to attend. There won't be hands on sessions, but there will be group exercises and discussions as well as acquisition demos done remotely to the Flow Lab.
This course will be supported by several vendors, which includes some of the course material and main speakers that will be later announced.
To register, simply fill out this form:Registration .
Due to space restrictions we are limited to registrations. There are seats left.
Instructions on how to proceed with payment will be sent Jan 5 2016. Please note that your registration is not complete until payment has been received.
The aim of the Hands-on tutorials is for user to get acquainted with handling the equipment, while at the same time learning a few basic protocols for flow cytometry acquisition, such as DNA cell-cycle analysis and Multicolor immunophenotyping. We will provide as much time as possible for the user to run the machines by himself. For this, it is important to read beforehand the information provided below.
Cell Cycle analysis is one of the most applied protocols in flow cytometry, most commonly to measure frequencies of cells that are either in G0/G1, G2/M, or in the S-phase of the cell cycle. This can be done using a general DNA intercalating dye, such as Propidium Iodide (PI), to quantify the amount of DNA present in each cell. Cells in G0/G1 will typically have half of the DNA signal than cells in G2/M, and those in S-phase will have an intermediate signal between that of G0/G1 and G2/M cells.
During the Hands-on, we will learn how to setup and run a cell-cycle experiment, using HeLa cells previously stained with PI. There will be two different types of samples, with cells either expressing or not expressing GFP. Additionally, we will provide samples with nocodazole to arrest cells in the G2 phase of the cell cycle, so that we can analyze differences in cell cycle distribution.
A general protocol for setting up the analysis in FACSCalibur or FACScan is provided in the following link: Cell Cycle Analysis using CellQuest
Immunophenotyping is one of the most common applications in flow cytometry. The need to measure multiple cellular markers simultaneously has been increasing, as researchers dig deeper into more accurate forms of characterizing cellular subpopulations. Conceptually, analyzing samples with two or three fluorescent markers is exactly the same as four, five or more colors. However, as more fluorescent markers are used simultaneously, the need for proper staining and compensation controls becomes increasingly relevant.
In this Hands-on session, we will learn strategies to setup a multicolor analysis, using spleenocytes stained with five fluorescent markers. We will go through the procedures to measure staining and compensation controls to adequately analyze a 5-color sample (CD3-Alexa488; CD8-PE; CD4-PerCP; CD25-Cy5; B220-Pacific Blue).
Due to time restrictions, the multicolor analysis will be done in the FACSAria only, though we will emphasize whenever possible the differences between analyzing in the FACSAria and the FACSCalibur, since the latter is the most commonly used for 4 or less colors.
A general protocol for setting up a multicolor analysis is provided in the following link: Multicolor Analysis.pdf

I had another visit today and met Dr. Bruneau she was really nice. Things are looking good. She took a peek with ultrasound so once again I got to see my baby moving all around. She is the 3rd doctor to look on ultrasound and to say "My this baby is active" I hope it calms down a bit by the time it is born! She told me when I start feeling big kicks as it gets bigger that I will never get any sleep. It was opening and closing its hand and stretching out its arm. It is just so amazing to me to see that baby inside me! It even kicked while we were watching but I did not feel it. I do feel more bubbles and thumps and sometimes they are harder than they have been. She said I was feeling what I should for 20 weeks. My ultrasound is still on April 18th and my next doctor's visit is May 2nd when I will do my glucose test. They want to do it early because it is a good possibility I will have gestational diabetes because I was diagnosed as insulin resistant before getting pregnant. Please keep me and the baby in your prayers especially the gestational diabetes I am really hoping that is a hurdle I will clear and not have to deal with. I will definitely update and put pictures on the blog on April 18th after our 3-D ultrasound! Can you believe I am 5 months pregnant? 20 weeks down and 20 weeks to go. I will be 21 weeks on Friday 4-6-07 I am 20 wks and 4 days today 4-3-07! It is really flying by we can not wait until August to meet this baby!

BELFIUS has signed several technological partnerships and invests 100 million euros in what may be called the "mobile banking". Why ? For a bundle of reasons that affect us all. We are all more numerous each day using a smartphone. Since October, research on mobile terminals exceeded searches on the computer, we buy more and more on the mobile. In short, we have adopted smartphones and these have profoundly changed the way we communicate, buy, consume.
motivations specifically related to the banking market
So far 1,500 of their customers download the mobile application to view and manage its accounts. The bank has 560,000 active users, twice as many as a year ago. Result, you or me, almost never let's agency, the physical interactions with their customers BELFIUS agencies annually capped at 600,000 interviews, while these same clients connect 12 million times per month …. A figure constantly increasing.
What are these partnerships and investments signed for 100 million € … and what will they use it?
First there was a vision of becoming the leader in digital bank in Belgium. Clearly, making smartphones and tablets the first communication channel with customers BELFIUS. To do this, we must develop that channel. The first strategic partnership signed by the bank aims to develop what is called the "customer intelligence", centralize, manage, understand, use, recover and reuse customer data. With one goal: to offer the customer at the right time, good service, good product, personalized, rather qu'harceler its permanent client. The second partnership concerns the infrastructure, to equip agencies amenities including fiber optic, allowing them to easily discuss with clients by digital channels. The two other partnerships are more technological parties, the first on the connected objects, the second on fashion FINTECH these technology startups that will revolutionize the relationship between banks and customers.
Is this a step towards the disappearance of agencies?
Yes and no. These investments will further reduce your visits to agency, but she will survive, you will simply have a greater range, more efficient exchange with your bank.

The 48th annual Great Lakes Invitational will be played outdoors at Detroit's Comerica Park as part of the Hockeytown Winter Festival and in connection with the NHL's annual Winter Classic, which will feature the Detroit Red Wings and Toronto Maple Leafs at Michigan Stadium.
These events were officially announced this morning at Comerica Park.
The GLI games will be played Dec. 28 and 29. The semifinals on Dec. 28 will pit Michigan Tech against Michigan followed by Michigan State vs. Western Michigan in the second. The third-place and championship games will be played the following day.
"This is a great opportunity to showcase some of the best college hockey in the state in a unique environment," said Michigan Tech athletic director Suzanne Sanregret. "We look forward to working with Olympia Entertainment and Comerica Park to host a memorable event for our student-athletes and fans."
"Playing the GLI at Comerica Park will provide a truly unique event for fans and our players," said Michigan head coach Red Berenson. "We've obviously played in outdoor games in the past, but never in a tournament format like this. I would expect it to be a great experience for everyone involved."
Also at the Comerica Park venue, a game between notable Red Wings and Maple Leafs alumni is on tap along with other games from youth, high school, Ontario Hockey League (Plymouth Whalers/London Knights and Windsor Spitfires/Saginaw Spirit) and minor professional levels (AHL game between Grand Rapids Griffins and Toronto Marlies).
The full schedule for the Hockeytown Winter Festival will be announced at a later date.

At the far end near the Yishun Pond was a transplanted Enterolobium cyclocarpum (common name: Elephant Ear Tree; Family: Fabaceae/Leguminosae). From what I saw of the site conditions from the other side, it was definitely not planted at the best location since its tree collar was buried at least a foot deep and there is no space for its extensive surface roots to grow.

Once Upon a Time in America
Posted by Evan in Uncategorized on July 19, 2017
Year of release: 1984 Directed by Sergio Leone. Starring Robert De Niro, James Woods, Elizabeth McGovern, and Joe Pesci.
"I believe in America." "America was born in the streets." Wrong movies, admittedly, but that grand and tragic mythos is the focus of Sergio Leone's beautifully sprawling epic Once Upon a Time in America. The title itself suggests that grandiose myth-making, which the characters write both for themselves and for their country.
The film opens with the shattering of that myth. David "Noodles" Aaronson (Robert De Niro) has witnessed the murder of the three surviving members of his gang, and he is on the run from several hitmen. The world of gangs, deals with cops, and profits from the speakeasies of the Great Depression which he worked so hard to build for himself has turned on him. Not only that, but the funds which the gang had put aside for all of their use were stolen as well. Resigned to his fate, Noodles leaves Manhattan, intending to end the myth which he lived for so long.
Then, with a jump cut, we are no longer in the era of prohibition, opium dens, jazz, and ragtime, but that of Lennon and McCartney, television, and respectable businesses. However, this age is just as quintessential a slice of the American myth as the '30's, and Noodles' memories of "Yesterday" continue to haunt him as he adjusts to the next chapter of America. The nonlinear editing between 1968, 1932, and 1920 connects past, present, and future as inseparable parts of the country America has become – born in the streets when the teenage Noodles and his gang stood up to rivals and blackmailed corrupt cops; growing up to side with unions, threaten corrupt businessmen, rob them, and rape their secretaries if need be; and reaching a maturity where anyone can achieve prosperity with enough hard work and determination, as long as they have some corrupt politicians in the palm of their hand.
It's an unflattering picture, and it sounds crazy to think it will last (and in the 21st century, coupled with recent events, it seems more inevitable than ever that it will fail), but Noodles and especially his friend and partner Max (James Woods) are determined to get all they can from it as long as they believe in it. The crumbling of that belief occurs at ostensibly different points for both of them, and the subsequent rift between them that results is reflected not only in Max's desire to pursue more dangerous work with ruthless gangsters like Frankie (Joe Pesci), but in Noodles' waking up from the American Dream to replace it with an opium dream of a forgetful haze. As Max becomes intoxicated with his American dream, Noodles' dream turns into a nightmare, at which point he wakes up to find a new dream.
However, is it possible to wake up? In the final confrontation, Noodles and Max recount strikingly different memories of the same incident that brought their belief in the America to a crashing end. Nonetheless, the dream and the myth they had elaborately written for themselves had become so widespread, so entrenched in the American mind that both characters were forced to become new characters in their own myth, which had grown well beyond their control and left them victims of fate, not dissimilar to the random fates they left for a next generation when they needed to scare a police chief.
As Noodles, De Niro is far less sympathetic than the young Sicilian gangster he played ten years prior to this, but his mission to control the streets of his New York neighborhood while turning against anything that offered him a more innocent life is not much different. As Noodles' first 11 year old love says, she could love him, if he wouldn't always be a two-bit punk. The culmination of their relationship may be the most tragic, and is certainly most horrifying scene in the movie for the microcosmic way that it shows how Noodles' belief in his own desires above all else runs roughshod over not only institutions but other people as well.
Whereas The Godfather is primarily interested in the ramifications of corruption on its once moral protagonist, Once Upon a Time in America lacks that upright protagonist and is interested in how his participation in the American mythos makes him more corrupt. Instead of focusing on the moral fall of an individual and the dissolution of a family as Coppola did, Leone focuses on the dissolution of the American dream itself and the consequences for those who imbibe it. It's debatable which tragedy is greater, but the far reaching consequences of greed, working to get ahead at any cost, and loyalty to ideas over human beings receives a more damning indictment here. And that is no more apparent than in the ironic use of "God Bless America" which frames the film.

American Hustle
Posted by Evan in Uncategorized on December 23, 2013
Year of Release: 2013 Directed by David O. Russell. Starring Christian Bale, Amy Adams, Bradley Cooper, Jeremy Renner, Jennifer Lawrence, Louis C. K., and Robert De Niro.
Goodfellas meets Silver Linings Playbook with influences from Raging Bull. That is the most apt description I can think of to describe David O. Russell's new '70's crime drama. Christian Bale plays Irving Rosenfeld, a smalltime con-artist who along with his mistress and business partner Sydney Prosser (Amy Adams) steals $5,000 in the form of a business fee from any desperate individual looking for a loan, because sooner or later everyone hits bottom, and Irving and Sydney are waiting there to trap and exploit them.
After Sydney accidentally takes a check from undercover FBI agent Richie DiMaso (Bradley Cooper), DiMaso agrees to drop the charges against them if they help him scam and expose four big criminals, starting with New Jersey mayor Carmine Polito (Jeremy Renner).
The biggest irony in the film is that Polito, as played by Renner, is by far the least corrupt character of the entire ensemble. He is a family man, who desperately wants to help the people of New Jersey, and occasionally might work with some mafia members to raise funds to create jobs. To highlight that irony, the most corrupt character is Cooper's overly zealous, power hungry FBI agent, who will stoop to any illicit means to nail the corrupt politicians he is after. Those means include fraud, deception, blackmail, and physical violence, all the while trying to cheat on his fiancé and to force himself sexually onto Sydney.
There are many other instances of equally dark humor, such as Jennifer Lawrence's phenomenal performance as Irving's selfish, unstable, and not particularly bright wife Rosalyn who threatens to expose the entire operation and endangers the lives of Irving, herself, and her son. But when confronted about her reckless behavior, she always manages to come up with an explanation that paints herself as the hero who averted some disaster. The opening scene with Bale, as he meticulously glues his "elaborate comb over" to his bald head, is both funny and symbolic of the extreme lengths to which these characters will go to present themselves as glamorous and to hustle their victims.
Bale's makeup, weight gain, and performance are all clearly reminiscent of De Niro in Raging Bull, and his performance is equally incredible. The rest of the cast is excellent, even Cooper in the role of the incredibly obnoxious FBI agent DiMaso. Lawrence completely steals her few scenes as Rosalyn, especially her confrontation with Adams. Adams portrays the several personas of Sydney very well, and the viewer is never completely sure whom she is hustling and double crossing.
I love how the second half of the film continuously escalates the danger and the elaborate scheming as the characters' greed and ambitions spiral out of control, much like Goodfellas. However, Russell maintains a lighthearted satirical tone rather than Scorsese's bleak depiction of criminal proceedings. Both approaches work in their respective films, but Russell's optimism makes his characters more endearing, even if Scorsese's pessimistic portrayal might be more accurate.
My only small complaint about Russell's optimism is that he opts for a semi-predictable, happy ending, which thoroughly humiliates the villain while the protagonists achieve everything they wanted. How that ending is achieved is a very clever surprise, but it is still obvious that that ending is somehow coming. The ending is an almost forgivable flaw, because as the amusing opening title card tells the audience, "Some of this stuff actually happened," and occasionally life does play out as depicted here.
The strongest asset of Russell's optimism is that it clearly shows in his love for the characters and actors. He lets his entire cast act and interact with one another with a script that highlights all of their talents. And it is a pleasure to watch a cast this talented giving their best performances.
The last thing worth noting is that the frequent use of '70's pop songs makes for a delightful soundtrack, especially "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" and "Live and Let Die," both of which are used perfectly to emphasize the mood of their scenes.
If only David O. Russell could make films with completely satisfying endings rather than generic crowd pleasing endings that wrap things up too neatly, then this would be a masterpiece. (as would Silver Linings Playbook and The Fighter)
Content Advisory: A non-graphic sexual encounter, brief nudity during an exotic dance sequence, some groping, frequent revealing necklines, a same-sex kiss, much profane and obscene language, and some violence. MPAA rating: R

Who's That Knocking at My Door
Posted by Evan in Uncategorized on March 15, 2013
Year of Release: 1967 Directed Martin Scorsese. Starring Harvey Keitel, Zina Bethune, Harry Northup, and Anne Collette.
With his debut film, Who's That Knocking at My Door, Martin Scorsese laid the groundwork for nearly all of his future films. Almost every theme that he explores in his later works is present here. An individual isolating himself through his selfish choices, (Raging Bull, Shutter Island) the difficulties and dangers of coping with a toxic native environment, (Mean Streets, Taxi Driver, GoodFellas, The Departed) the importance of family and connections, (The Age of Innocence) and finally the importance of cinema in transforming our lives. (Hugo) Scorsese's integration of all these themes into a coherent, well crafted film is impressive, and his artistic talent was clearly apparent even in his earliest years as a filmmaker.
J.R. (Harvey Keitel) is a young Italian American living in inner city New York, frequenting bars, hanging out with gangsters, and trying to win the heart of a young girl (Zina Bethune) whom he finds attractive. He fondly recalls first meeting her as they bonded while chatting about the movie magazine that she was reading. When she expressed ignorance of the movie poster pictured in the magazine, J.R. incredulously and excitedly explained the importance of John Wayne's performance in The Searchers, one of the "greatest films ever made." (Scorsese has said he would include The Searchers in his personal top ten list.)
The choice of John Wayne in The Searchers is significant. In John Ford's classic western, Wayne portrayed a character so immersed in his worldview and his prejudices that he was unable to break away from them. When a woman he loved came into his life, Wayne was unable to adapt and see things from her perspective. It is clear that this situation is also J. R.'s. When he learns a tragic and challenging aspect of his girlfriend's life, his own prejudices and misconceptions threaten his ability for reconciliation.
It is possible to interpret J. R.'s final actions as an attempt at repentance, or it could be him withdrawing into the culture that he knows and finds comforting, even though that culture is damaging his ability to interact in the actual world. Either interpretation is plausible, although I am inclined to go with the latter. That interpretation also introduces significant moral issues into the film, because J. R.'s known culture to which he turns at the film's end is his Catholic upbringing. Faith certainly is something that many people turn to after tragedy or personal crisis, and it is completely believable that J. R. would do so. However, it is all too possible that the film is suggesting that reliance on faith is a weakness that ultimately makes life more difficult, which The Searchers reference would seem to reinforce.
Throughout the film J. R. is clearly conflicted about his choices and actions. He refrains from having sex with his girlfriend because there is a statue of the Virgin Mary and Christ Child in his bedroom, but out on the streets he has no problem imagining lengthy scenes of intense sexual intercourse with attractive hookers. He blesses himself before pummeling a guy over the head with a heavy stick. Sitting in a bar filled with pornographic photos, he recalls the innocent and heartfelt first meeting with his girlfriend.
The film is composed with abrupt edits between J.R.'s dream sequences and reality. This technique employed Thelma Schoonmaker, who would become by Scorsese's longtime editor, heightens the sense of unease and guilt from which J. R. suffers; he is a character who is searching, and the film searches with him.
Unfortunately, restraint was not a virtue that Scorsese learned until several years later in his career. Both Mean Streets and Who's That Knocking at My Door suffer from Scorsese's decision to film his source material in a very raw manner with very little editing or caution in presenting the sordid material. Taxi Driver was one of the first film in which he clearly understood the horrific events that he was depicting, and exercised discretion in selecting what he showed on film. Also, unlike J. R., in Taxi Driver Robert De Niro's protagonist was able to portray genuine isolation and inner conflict without relying on edits between fantasy and reality.
Who's That Knocking at My Door did sow the seeds for the future career of Scorsese, but it took him several years to overcome his early weaknesses, to which he still occasionally reverts, and craft some true works of art.
Content Advisory: An extended and explicit sexual fantasy with gratuitous nudity, juxtaposition of Catholicism with morally questionable behavior, fleeting shots of nude photos, and occasional profanity and violence. MPAA rating: R
Suggested Audience: Adults with discernment.
Personal Recommendation: D+

After several months of waiting, The Wanted finally released their first album in the U.S., an EP simply titled "The Wanted" (Special Edition). Of course I downloaded it first thing yesterday morning and listened to it two or three times during the day and my first impressions of it are great!
The ten-song set is full of the same kind of pleasing, mid to up tempo sounds as heard on their first smash, "Glad You Came," easy to remember, and pleasing to the ears. Early favorites are "Lightning" (check out the steamy video for that here), "All Time Low," and "Gold Forever." Look for an upcoming track by track review on Yahoo, but in the meantime check out their latest single, "Chasing the Sun":

Evening all, hope you've all had a good day. Apologies again to those of you who have tried to sign up on here but have been unable to ... darn new fangled computer thingummies!
Anyway, for those who haven't fallen asleep yet, I've been busy today making a lot of cards for a friend who is leaving her job and wanted personalised cards for each of her colleagues featuring whatever their hobbies were. One of them loved pigs so found a fab photo of 3 little piglets who were definitely posing for the camera, well they are vey intelligent so I understand.I went on to make a 'Friend' card with my new best friend Jiminey Cricut, this is the result:
It is really pretty again, as most of my cards tend to be, I try to do something plainer and more minimalist but always end up with one of my 'Lovelies' as I've begun calling them. You've got to worry about someone who gives their cards names now haven't you?!
I didn't get around to my photo shoot with Big Ted so will have to get on to that tomorrow, I thought I'd put some links on here to some of my favourite crafting sites too for anyone that's interested, also found You Tube to be an absolute mine of information for tutorials...who ever knew?! Take care all and catch you soon. P.S. Thank you so much to those of you who have kindly signed on as fans on Facebook, as I said autographed photo's will be available shortly...hee hee.

Pumpkin Patch Picking
Something I have seen all over Instagram lately is lots of gorgeous photos of toddlers and children pumpkin picking - so I just had to get on the band wagon! I searched the internet and couldn't find any nearby, so it was a bit of a drive to our closest one - we went to
in Esher and it was amazing!!!! There were so many different areas for 'pick your own' and they were so big you had to drive to each one! They also had areas that can be used for picnics, which we said we would definitely come back in the summer to use, as you could spend a good few hours there walking around the beautiful area. We bought 2 big pumpkins for our annual carving competition (look out for the photos which will be coming soon!). Here are some snaps of the day...
Afterwards, we went to the cafe for a slice of cake and a coffee. I brought Jackson some healthy melon from home which he ate like this...
Not sure where he gets that from?!
Love Sophia xxx

Yawn, a governor's race.
Ron Saxton wants to unseat Kulongoski as the governer of America's most pleasant but fiscally challenged state: Oregon.
He's going to loose not because Kulongoski is such a great governor or that Saxton is such a bad guy but because Kulongoski hasn't done anything shockingly bad or pissed off the wrong people.
Oregon is about the same as it was four years ago when Kulongoski was elected, and Saxton is blabbing the typical politician's promises of better schools and better jobs, but he's not exactly blowing us out of the water with his charisma.
Even a political enthusiast like myself can get sick of a politician and last night Saxton made me sick of him. While watching an hour's worth of news on TV, Saxton's bland commerical trying to distance himself from the problems of Republicans played over and over and over and over.
Kulongoski is no dynamo, but he's OK and in Oregon OK is good enough.
If independent Ben Westlund had stayed in the race I would have voted for him, just for livening the race up a little.

Strength From the Martyrs: How Our Protestant Forebears Teach Us Faith
Faith was everything to our ancestors. They were willing to die for it, and in many cases they did. The solas of the Reformation, tenets like "faith alone," "Christ alone," and "Scripture alone," were their battle cries. Those of us who come from the "Reformation faiths" have such a powerful heritage. The blood of the martyrs runs in our veins. I cannot imagine walking about without bubbling over in that very same faith, without feeling an intense admiration. How can we not be inspired by their courage? How can we not want to live up to them however we can, in many cases practicing the same faith in peace and freedom that they practiced under pain of death?
Ancestry is a powerful thing. Remembering who your ancestors are, where you come from, and what you represent shapes your identity in many ways. I derive great strength from the example of my Anabaptist and Huguenot ancestors and from various "heroes of the faith" that I admire. A few days past, while listening to some uplifting Christian tunes, I realized the truth: We survived. I am carrying on my ancestors' proud legacy of Protestantism. I am continuing their reverence of Scripture and love of God, worshiping and rejoicing in the same faith their enemies tried to quell. What stronger legacy could there be? What better way to prove we are still going strong and that we could not be silenced, than to sing and shout and dance and praise?
One feels a thrill of awe just imagining how difficult it once was to be Protestant. That very word was often a death sentence. Our ancestors feared no mortal man and practiced their beliefs with eerie solemnity and strength. Those same traits sustain mainstream Protestants today. How did we ever survive those first rugged centuries? Yet here we still are, five hundred years later, unbroken, unbeaten. If that isn't something to sing and dance about, I don't know what is.

After the kids got picked up by their father, I went to the studio for a couple of hours and got a little bit done... not much, but a little and the whole time I was there I was starving. I was thinking of doing some errands on the way home, but I was too hungry, so I decided to be nice to myself and sit at the bar at Chez Pascal were my friend D is the bartender. Turns out though, that Wed., is D's night off and I'm terrible about eating out alone.
Couldn't very well turn around and leave when the owner/greeter is sweet as pie and the bar was empty, so I grabbed a seat and had onion soup and bread, most delicious comfort food and was perfectly happy staring out the window. I had planted myself right in the middle of the bar and eventually someone else occupied each end. I don't know bar etiquette, do you say hello? pretend to check your email? Eventually, as the bar filled up, an older couple sat next to me, they were a couple of characters in the best possible sense. The man asked if I was a cancer patient and when I said yes, he started nudging his companion, "take off your wig, take off your wig, show her." And she did, brave woman. He insisted on buying me a drink, but I haven't had a drink in months, so what do you do when someone sincerely wants to buy you a drink and for the kindest reasons? You agree to half a drink. So I had a half glass of the loveliest Sauvignon Blanc from Burgundy. Yep, apparently Burgundy is now allowing other types of grapes to be grown there and well, the white grape growers are doing a fine job.
This couple drove all the way down from Boston to eat at Chez Pascal because they like to be adventurous. Both divorced and going on wednesday evening adventures together, so I'm hoping that bodes well for later in life dating. I've been feeling demoralized about that because well, feeling like I've lost quite a bit of mojo, literally. Feel like the goods I've got to sell diminish by the day and I don't know that I had a great sales presentation to begin with, but a girl can hope because it would be nice not to sit alone at the bar among other far more important things.
I got home and went to make tea and couldn't help but notice the three dark chocolate bars I've been trying to ignore, sitting right there near the tea, so I've finally delved into them {you'd be impressed to know how long they've been there} and am much too relaxed to work on my taxes, or put away laundry, so I'm declaring it movie night.
I really did enjoy that half a glass.

Le Dinh Mau (Source: VNA) Hanoi (VNA) – The Ministry of Public Security's Investigation Agency on September 26 detained and launched legal proceedings against chief accountant of the Vietnam National Oil and Gas Group (PetroVietnam) Le Dinh Mau for intentionally violating State regulations on economic management causing severe consequences. Mau is also head of the PetroVietnam Accounting and Audit Department. The agency also took legal proceedings against former head of the PetroVietnam's management board for electricity and oil and gas project Thai Binh 2 Vu Hong Chuong; chief accountant of the management board for electricity and oil and gas project Thai Binh 2 Tran Van Nguyen; and former Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors of the PetroVietnam Construction Corporation (PVC) Nguyen Ngoc. They were found guilty of violating financial regulations in the Thai Binh 2 thermal power plant project. The investigation found that though a bidding contract on engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) for the project was yet to be signed, PetroVietnam transferred 8.2 million USD and more than 1.317 trillion VND (57.26 million USD) to the management board for the power project, which later advanced 6.6 million USD and 1.312 trillion VND to PVC, causing a loss of more than 51.7 billion VND and over 66,000 USD in interest until the EPC contract took effect on October 11, 2011.-VNA

Tuesday night, Wednesday morning, I got Aidan up at 2:00 am to do his breathing treatment. I told him what I was doing and he hugged me and said, "My Mama." very quietly. His eyes fluttered and back to sleep he went and slept through the entire treatment and even when I put him back in bed! Except for the fact that he is sick, I love times like that.
In the morning, he seemed to be doing really good and off to day care we went--our daycare is full of kids with RSV right now so it's okay for him to go there. I received a call from my sitter about 10:30 saying she was worried, though, because she had given Aidan a treatment and he was now wheezing and coughing a lot. I explained that is how he is responding to the treatments and that the doctor had told me that it would take a week or so for that to subside. It's because his lungs are opening up and that stuff is now moving out. She was worried enough that I did call the pediatrician who said to bring him in. I called the sitter back to say I was on my way to come get him and she said she would take him! How awesome is that??? I felt a little nervous about not being there, but I trust her and that was a huge help since I have NO time left to take! More good.
About an hour and a half later she called back to tell me Aidan's oxygen levels were in the good range and still where they had been when we left the doctor on Monday so he is responding well to the treatment. We can now change our schedule for the treatments to every 4 to 6 hours. . .Yippee!! And more good.
And, as a bonus, his sinus infection has cleared up and we can now stop the Augmentin. . .Yippee!!! And even more good!
But. . . .and here's the bad. . .he has an ear infection. . .deflated. . .and so now we're on Omnicef for the ear infection. . .But, hey, look at all that good that came first!!!! I'm just not going to think about that pediatrician bill right now. . .
When we got home, Pat and Aidan went into the living room and played with the train set that Aunt B had given Aidan. It's so cute! I laughed while I cooked and listened to them yell and laugh about the train wrecks. And, of course, the dogs had to be in the act. . .rough housing and everything!
Fun living at the Harrison's!

Mangled Shakespeare
~ sluices of joy ... sorrow in the human heart ~
Clever idea of the Guardian to dip back in the archives to reproduce a review from October 1843 of The Tempest.
Spendid period phrasing such as,
"Indeed, it has rarely been our fortune to hear Shakespeare so mangled by any actor as it was on this occasion."
and, in an amusingly snobbish misunderstanding of the rôle of Trinculo, where the critic
" ... must caution this actor against his coarse tricks, which savour more of a sawdust arena than of the boards of a theatre-royal."

There were hugs, cheers and some tears Tuesday when nearly 20 immigrants recited the Oath of Allegiance during a naturalization ceremony at South Puget Sound Community College.
Therese Baxter-Pantoja of Olympia said the first thing she did was text her two sons — one is a firefighter, the other a sheriff's deputy — to let them know that her husband and their father, Juan Ramon Pantoja, 42, can finally register to vote.
"It was very emotional, I think, because he's so Americanized anyway," Baxter-Pantoja said. "It's the American dream."
Pantoja is a vocational counselor who emigrated from Mexico in 1978 and served in the Armed Forces. But he said it wasn't until recently that he felt it was important to pursue citizenship. Now he said he's looking forward to voting in next year's presidential election.
The naturalization ceremony was sponsored by the Timberland Regional Library system, the Thurston County Auditor's Office and the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. In a keynote speech, U.S. Rep. Denny Heck talked about how the late Nisqually activist Billy Frank Jr. often encouraged people to stand up for what they believe in and share their stories because it matters.
"Right now you're creating your story for your family to share for generations to come," Heck said.
The new citizens hail from a variety of countries, including the Philippines, Australia, China, India, South Korea and Russia.
Yuliya Kravchuk, 24, of Fife participated in the ceremony with her mother. They moved from Ukraine about 14 years ago.
"This is an awesome country to live in," Kravchuk said.
"We are happy here," added her mother, Olga Kravchuk.
Moritz Bartels, 43, of Gig Harbor moved from Germany to the United States in 2002 to get medical training. Then he met his wife, Diane, in Texas.
Their two children have dual citizenship, and now he will to.
"For me, it's just the certainty, because I'm not going back," Bartels said. "I like the certainty that no one is going to change the rules on me."
Diane Bartels described the event as "the end of a long journey."
She said her husband's new status will finally allow them to travel as a family. Too often, he ends up in a different line at airports, especially when they travel internationally, and there's always the fear that he'll be delayed in returning to the United States because of paperwork issues.
"There was always that uncertainty of coming back in," she said.
The family had big plans to celebrate after the ceremony: They were going to have steak for dinner.
"It's American food," Moritz Bartels said with a laugh.

Gemstone is an interdisciplinary, four year living and learning honors research program at the University of Maryland College Park. Under the guidance of our mentor Dr. Matthias Zwicker, team ART aims to use augmented reality and machine learning to provide real time handwriting correction for people with dyslexia. Learning disabilities affect one in ten people worldwide and are especially detrimental to learning children. By hampering their ability to read and write, students with learning disabilities often fall behind their able counterparts. Once they do, a negative cycle is created making it difficult for them to catch up. team ART aims to prevent that from the start by helping these children overcome their learning disabilities. By correcting their mistakes as they happen, the assistive device we will build will prevent the formation of poor writing habits and facilitate their success in academic environments.
Team ART is currently in the process of fundraising and developing application frameworks.

My old mouse recently died and I had to get another. The next time we went to Walmart I picked up one of the least expensive ones I could find. It was around $10 and I thought that's not too bad. At this point, I didn't have any other requirements in mind, except that it had to be wireless. I didn't know I'd want a quiet computer mouse.
Terrible Noisy Mouse
Well, I hated it. The clicks were so noisy that if I were trying to write or work on the computer in bed while Rob was asleep it would have kept him awake. The thing constantly shifted into sleep mode if I hadn't moved it within the previous minute, or however long the alloted waking period was. So I had to constantly wake it up. Not only that, I just hated the clicking noises.
Quiet Computer Mouse
The next time we went to town I tried all the mice on the shelf to see how loud the clicks were, and ended up with this Mossy Oak mouse.
The price is a lot less at Walmart. It's more than double at Amazon, so unless you have a gift card to spend I'd check with your local stores first. At Amazon it runs around $36. It was $15.88 at Walmart, at the time I wrote this post, but shipping isn't available for that item so you can't mail order it. Therefore, the photo is linked to the Amazon option.
There are other features, such as the scroll wheel and a DPI button, and a bunch of other things I don't really use. I'm not sure what the DPI switchable is for, or why there are "breathing effect" lights for the scroll. The only thing I cared about was that it was 1.) quiet and 2.) wireless.
If you're looking for a quiet computer mouse, and don't mind the camo pattern, this is a great pick.
Read my other product reviews.
Predator and Prey, or the hunter and the hunted is a common theme throughout my fiction writing. No Qualms, one of my short stories (free at most retailers) is about about a predator/prey relationship. Symbiosis, my first finished novel, not published yet, deals with predator/prey relationships and the balance of energy among life on earth, sometimes symbolic and often outright. Many of my flash fiction stories (I have twitterfiction and 100-word flash stories) are also dealing with this same dynamic. This is a strong theme that runs through most of my fiction and is strongly influenced by life in the wild Ozarks where we live. My first published novel, First Hunt, also has a predator and prey theme to it. I guess it's just part of my nature.
Nature Farming
Wild Ozark is 160 acres of beautiful wild Ozark mountains. I call what I do "nature farming" because the land produces, all by itself, the shagbark hickory trees, ferns, moss, ground-fall botanicals, and the perfect habitats for growing and stewarding American ginseng. I'm co-creating with Nature - all of the things I use to make the Fairy Gardens and Forest Folk, the bark we harvest for Burnt Kettle's shagbark hickory syrup, are produced by nature without my input. This land is my muse for inspiration when it comes to my writing, drawing, and photography. It's truly a Nature Farm.
About the voice behind this blog, Madison Woods
I'm a creative old soul living way off the beaten path with my husband in the wild Ozark Mountains. Besides homesteading, growing plants & making crafty things and newsletters, I write books and stories. My rural fantasy fiction, written under the pen name, Ima Erthwitch, usually takes place in a much altered Ozarks.

Hi Everyone,
I've been checking out the Site for the past few days, and have been really impressed by all the Info. about Absinthe; and enjoying the Posts.
Between reading the FAQ, and checking out the Archives, this place has been a very cool 'crash course' on the History of Absinthe, and the Modern Brands. So: much respect, and many thanks to the Mods, and the Regular Posters for providing this resource.
Up until now, the only experience I've had with "The Green Fairy" was some (very) amateur Home Brew a few years ago, and a glass of "Czech Strong" at a Bar in Tijuana.
From what I've read here, the Czech is the "worst" you can get, so I'd like to experience the "best." I thought I'd start with some UE 68, and maybe a bottle of Fou 72.
Though I've got a lot of Info. from reading the other Posts, I still had some questions, before I order my (uhh) "Collectors" bottle that of course would "not be for Human Consumption:"
1. Courier seems to be the way to go. I saw that LdF, and SC , offer that service. Do any of the other Vendors?
2. How common is it for a shipment to "disappear" in transit? If it doe's, am I "S.O.L." or will the Vendor send more?
3. On average, how many glasses of Absinthe do you get from a 70cl Bottle?
4. I also like the idea of "the ritual," and was thinking of getting a spoon too. I like the design of most of the ones I have seen on the Vendor's sites.. but, i was wondering if some of the Spoons work better than others, when you are dripping water onto the Sugar?
Thanks for answering a "newbies" questions, and:

Never will I be

Hello and welcome Green Hour. And I'm sorry you had to go through the Czech Strong. But atleast now you have something bad to compare all the good with.
So let's run down the questions then:
Well, just don't go off to ebay and pay outrageous prices for the swill they will sell you as collectibles.. He he
I guess most vendors do, if you pay for it... But as far as extremely fast shipping goes, LdF is the way to go. Also, they're the only option you have on the Verte De Fougerolles 72. Also, I recommend you to get the Un Emiles from them aswell. So, if that's what you want. You should go with LdF. Other than that, there is Frenchman Phil and Absinthvertrieb.de that also has excellent service and are very reliable.
It has happened, and the only thing you might be able to get out of it, is for customs to be nice enough to send it back to the vendor. Most vendors will do anything they can to help you out. It is not very common that packages get seized though. However the larger the order, the more attention it gets.
Depends on how big a glass you got.
Well, if you pour 4-5cl of absinthe in a glass you'd end up at about 15 glasses. That's the advanced math part of being an absintheur.
Well, it would work just fine with a fork. Otherwise, you can get a spoon to go with your order from any of the vendors mentioned above. Also absinthespoon.com is an excellent source. All spoons work fine. But, bigger holes call for bigger chunks of sugar falling into the drink... Another option could be the Hemingway/Tarragona glasses... Also available from LdF and SC.
There. And again, welcome.

because i've been gone for a week and my brain is fried from reading literally hundreds of posts, i will only answer one question.
i find one bottle of absinthe (losing count on the glasses and adjusting for more ambitious pours as the night goes on) is perfect for two drinkers in a session.
oh, WELCOME! and order from LDF.

I normally get about 12 glasses out of 70ml. bottle, allowing for about 2oz glasses.
As to vendors, yesterday was the first I've read here about an LDF shipment being seized (or rather the bottle of absinthe was removed from the gift set...another member responded that early on this had happened to him, and LDF sent him another bottle...I don't think most other vendors would have offered that kind of recompense, as reliable and decent as they are, so whenever possible I would recommend going with LDF.

We have found it depends on the level of drinking you wish to do with your bottle.
For instance my wife and I enjoy a glass in the evening after the pup has retired for the night.
We use a shot/ drink though...it is the second that gets ambitious....be warned. I have no exact drink count for you however. Just remember..the stuff is precious.
As far as vendors...
we have ordered from alandia as well as LDF and both ROCK in thier service.
for speed...go with LDF they are fast, reliable and I don't have enough good to say about them.
Same with Mike at alandia, though his service takes a bit longer( 10 days from point of order to point of consuming)...I have no complaints.
Welcome, Green Hour, I am a newbie here too.

The frenchman isn't bad either if you are just ordering 1 bottle, he has the best prices. However if you are ordering more than one, there is no discount on shipping. It takes about 10 days to get to my doorstep in California

Considering that Absinthe is around 68 percent on bottle is almost the equivalent of two bottles of 80 proof vodka, so you're talking about drinking almost a fifth of regular hard liquor in a sitting, that's crazy. that's a LOT of booze man
I'd say a bottle is good for getting about 3-4 pretty damn drunk

Another way of thinking about it....
From my calculations, a 70 cL bottle of UE 68 contains roughly as much alcohol as about 27 bottles of beer.
A glass of absinthe diluted with water is a lot less filling than beer so you'll be tempted to drink it faster. All that booze will hit you like a freight train if you're not careful.
Usually 5 or 6 drinks of absinthe will get you comfortably but not slobbering drunk.

This conversation about the number of drinks per bottle aroused my curiosity, so I did a little on-line metric conversion and arithmetic.... Here's how I justify my overexpenditure on absinthe:
0.7 liters = 23.6698 fluid oz. (US). My shot measure is 1.25 ounces, so I can squeeze about 19 glasses from a bottle.
A one-liter bottle would get me about 27 drinks.

I've had a shipment vanish from LDF (which they replaced at no cost to me), and had a shipment seized from FSC (which they also replaced at no cost to me).
If you want to order any of the Spanish fare (like SERPIS! . . . Better RED than dead!) or basically anything not produced by LDF, I'd recommend FSC highly. However, don't use economy shipping. When they SAY 8-10 weeks, they MEAN 8-10 weeks!
I prefer a spork to a spoon. Since they're plastic, the fire thing isn't a good idea . . . that, and why would I want to spend $100 for a bottle of booze, only to burn it?

Thank you for all the info, and the warm welcome!
The "trolls" may say you take yourselves too seriously. But you seem to only flame 'noobs' that ask ignorant questiions about burning sugar, the so-called 'hallucinogenic' qualities of "absinth," or that "weird black licorice flavor."
Is that "the feeverte fire ritual?" Flame Trolls, not Sugar?
Your answers about shipping, and # of glasses per bottle were especially helpful. As one of you said, "treat absinthe like it's precious." At the moment, this is a 'heavy duty' luxury for me.. if it wasn't for my tax return and B-day at the end of next month; I probably couldn't justify the expense. So, I would've been if the bottles didn't get to me, and there was nothing I could do about it. Hopefully, soon I will be able to afford 'regular' orders, like some of the rest of you.
I'm still trying to decide if the UE 68, and the Fou 72 are the best bet for my first order. I did want to start with some of the "Green" Absinthes, before moving on to other Varities.. any suggestions?
"I'm sorry you had to go through the Czech Strong."
Thank you, but to be honest: Though it wasn't anything spectacular, it wasn't as bad as the horror stories i've seen in other posts about Czech "Absinth" with: No Anise/ No Louche, and Alcohol that smelled/ tasted like "diesel fuel."
When I first tasted it, I thought: "oh, it's like an Ouzo, made with other Herbs added to it." It also had a thick translucent green louche. At best though, it was an "ok" Apertif.. so I'm really looking forward to "the real thing."
Of course, they 'lit' the sugar; or tried to, since they used a normal long handled spoon.. since I knew just a little bit of History about Absinthe, I wondered why the Bartender was melting the Sugar.. and almost told him not to bother. Especially, since it wasn't working very well.
Btw, there was also a liquor store on Avenida Revolucion in T.J. that was selling a 1 Liter bottle of "Czech Strong" for $350!!! Even though I didn't know about how much a bottle of Absinthe should cost.. I knew that $350 was way too much, laughed and walked out of the store.
Also, I'm assuming "Tom Jones" is :--> ?
Thanks, "the Frenchman" sounds like another good option. (I'm in Cali too). Doe's he only take "paypal?" I've never used it, and the "paypal sucks" posts didn't exactly encourage me to start now. So, I'll probably take everyones advice and start with LdF.
My Avatar is a portrait of the Swedish Painter Hawk Duszek Alfredson, taken by his wife; who is a fine-art photographer. I know her work, because I went to College with her.
He's leaning over and looking at the Camera, wrapped up in a long black cloak. The origional image, is a lot more 'surreal,' since the cloak is huge.. but, I used a 'close-up' since I wanted it to 'read' better in the 100x100 pixel format, (Guess that didn't work too well). Plus, i wanted to only use a third of the image, to stay inside the 'fair use' copyright laws.
Anyway, I choose it because I thought it worked well with my Nic, and the Quote by Aleister Crowley, in my sig. But, if it looks like "a porpoise eating a little green man" on the Site, I'll probably chance it soon.
Fyi, here is a larger image of the photo. Btw, I changed the Hue of the Photo, and did some other minor digital manipulation. Hopefully, the photo will come through, it's the first time I've tried an attachment here.
Sorry for the long post, and once again:

Army people too are unhappy with salary increase. The only people who are happy are the ones who run this country because for themselves they increased their pay as they wanted!
Friends whether it is Congress or BJP, or anybody else they are all same when it comes to keeping promises. Read this news item. And what media does? They pit an Army man against Oil Sector Officers on Zee TV and the army man too gleefully declares the Oil Strike demands unreasonable.. We wonder how much he was paid for saying that? And when his own brethren are unhappy too! & Why do you think they do not protest? It is only becasue of their disciplinary code.. or else are they Happy with the Govts? or the Bureucrats?
TOI, Chennai: 8th Feb 2009:
Army veterans to return medals To Protest Against Govt Apathy Over Pension Today Rajat Pandit TNN New Delhi: Soldiers wear their medals with immense pride and honour. To lose them can be a gutwrenching and traumatic experience, but that is precisely what many of them will voluntarily do on Sunday.
A "large number" of ex-servicemen will return their gallantry awards and distinguished service medals to the President after a protest rally at Jantar Mantar in the Capital on Sunday in sheer disgust at the non-implementation of the "one-rank, one-pay (OROP)" principle as well as the "raw deal" given to armed forces by the 6th Pay Commission.
Among them will be Colonel (retired) Kanwar Bhardwaj and his wife, Shiksha, who will surrender the Shaurya Chakra awarded posthumously to their son, Captain Umang Bhardwaj, who died battling heavily-armed terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir in 2002. While the protest may resolve around pension, it has melded with the growing unease over continued apathy towards the services who, unlike their civilian counterparts, are bound by the disciplinary code not to protest.
Incidentally, even demands of serving military personnel over their new revised pay scales are yet to be fully resolved by the government. The creeping sense of being left behind now seems to have grown into powerful resentment, dissolving the distinctions of rank and hierarchy.
The jawans and havaldars who are coming for the protest have the support of their former bosses. "The country is not recognising the pillar which supports it," said former Navy chief Admiral Sushil Kumar.
Added Col Bhardwaj, "The status of the armed forces, which are keeping the country safe, has been systematically downgraded by bureaucrats and politicians.
Ex-servicemen demand pay and pension on 'One Rank One Pay' basis as promised by different political parties in their election manifestoes.
Veterans claim that the Sixth Pay Commission has created four ranks within a rank — pre-1996, post-1996 to Dec 2005, post-Jan 2006 to Sept 2008 and post-Oct 2008.
Now, a havaldar who retired before 1996 draws less pension than a sepoy who retired after 2006.
The UPA government has rejected the demand, citing huge financial costs — over Rs 3,500 crore, with annual liabilities of Rs 700 crore.
The estimate includes payment of arrears from January 1, 1996, when the recommendations of the Fifth Pay Commission came into effect.
We've been pushed to the wall: Ex-servicemen
New Delhi: "We love India but we have been pushed to the wall. My wife will return my son's Shaurya Chakra, while I will surrender my Sena Medal, awarded for gallantry in 1971," said Col Bhardwaj. This was the general mood a day before a large number of ex-servicemen go to the Rashtrapati Bhavan to return their gallantry awards and service medals. They are returning them in protest against the non-implementation of "one-rank, one-pay" and the "raw deal" armed forces got by the 6th Pay Commission.
Former Army deputy chief Lt-General (retd) Raj Kadyan said, "My medals are my proudest possession but I will hand them over to the President, the supreme commander of the armed forces, for safe-custody till our demands are met." The ex-servicemen feel they have been hoodwinked by successive governments on OROP despite virtually all political parties promising its implementation in their manifestos, election after election.
The governments, in fact, have even brushed aside recommendations by parliamentary committees to swiftly resolve "the disparity of pensionary benefits between pensioners of the same rank" without much ado.
The UPA government, on its part, has rejected the OROP demand, holding that it will entail huge financial costs — well over Rs 3,500 crore, with annual liabilities of around Rs 700 crore. This estimate takes into account payment of arrears with effect from January 1, 1996, the date from which the recommendations of the 5th Pay Commission were effective. "It's also not possible to implement OROP due to administrative reasons and possible repercussions from the civil side, public sector and autonomous bodies," said a defence ministry official. [comments: These people will always cite fear about the other groups!! What prevents them to make everybody happy? when they take care of themselves!!!]
Ex-servicemen, however, beg to disagree. Tenets of justice demand that defence personnel of the same rank and length of service should get the same pension, irrespective of the retirement date, says the vice-chairman of the Indian Ex-Servicemen Movement (IESM), Major-General (retired) Satbir Singh, who will also return his Sena Medal on Sunday.
"But after the 6th Pay Commission, the government has created four classes within a class — pre-1996, post-1996 to December 2005, post-January 2006 to September 2008 and post-October 2008," he said.
"For instance, a havildar who retired before 1996 draws less pension than a sepoy who retired after 2006, and a Lt-Gen draws less pension than a Lt-Col. Ex-servicemen have been on a relay hunger strike at Jantar Mantar since December 16 but nobody listens to us since we are not a votebank," he added.
But political parties better watch out. Defence pensioners alone notch up a tally of around 20 lakh, with another 55,000 being added to it every year. If one adds family members, over one crore people in India are directly connected with defence personnel or ex-servicemen.
Maj-Gen Singh said four former chiefs — General VP Malik and Admirals Sushil Kumar, Madhvendra Singh and Arun Prakash — "had promised their support" to the rally on Sunday.
The ex-servicemen feel they have been hoodwinked by successive governments on one-rank, one-pay (OROP) despite virtually all political parties promising its implementation A The UPA government has rejected the OROP demand, saying it will entail well over Rs 3,500 cr, with annual liabilities of Rs 700 cr .
