A measurement/calibration cell for potentiometrically measuring ion concentration in a fluid interposes a barrier between measuring and reference electrodes and positions the measuring electrode at a sufficiently higher gravimetric potential above the reference electrode that seepage of electrolyte from the latter to the former is effectively precluded. A controller associated with the cell displays instructions and other desired information on a scrolling display such that a substantial amount of information can be presented in a relatively small display window.
1. A measurement/calibration cell for measuring the ion concentration of liquids as the liquids flow through the cell, comprising:
A. An enclosure for receiving a first electrode therein and connected to a first channel for delivering liquid to the interior of said enclosure, said enclosure sized to accommodate a first volume of sample at least sufficient to immerse an active portion of said electrode during a measurement and to overflow at a first level after receiving some volume greater than said first volume,
B. A second channel positioned below said first level to receive sample overflowing from said enclosure so that when operated in measurement mode in which liquid flows through the cell and ion concentration is measured, the surface level of liquid in said second channel will be at a second level below said first level to cause sample to flow from said enclosure to said second channel and not in the reverse direction due to gravimetric potential differences between said surface levels, said second channel sized to accommodate a second electrode therein such that an active portion of said electrode is immersed during a measurement, and
a siphon mounted in a chamber for defining a specified volume for calibrating said cell, and in which said siphon is mounted such that its height above a base level is adjustable to thereby adjust the calibration volume.

The following application claims the priority of Provisional Application Ser. No. U60/675,883, "Improved Ion Measurement/Calibration Cell", filed Apr. 20, 2005.
1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates to ion analyzers and, more specifically, to a combined ion measurement/calibration cell.
2. Background Information
A variety of industrial and other fields commonly rely on the measurement of ions in solution for such applications such as controlling industrial processes, assessing water quality, and the like. A particularly useful ion measurement and calibration cell is described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,600,494, issued Jul. 15, 1986 to Edward Bromberg et al. The teachings of this patent are incorporated herein by reference.
The '494 patent describes an ion analyzer cell having two modes of operation, the first a measurement mode in which the concentration of an ion in solution is measured, and the second a calibration mode in which the ion concentration in a carefully prepared and controlled sample is measured in order to calibrate the cell. The measurements are performed with a pair of potentiometric electrodes mounted in the cell. A first electrode of the pair serves as a measuring electrode; a second electrode of the pair serves as a reference electrode. The electrodes are separated by a partial baffle which largely, but not completely, isolates them from each other.
The baffle allows limited fluid communication between the electrodes to thereby provide the required electrical continuity for potentiometric measurement, while largely isolating their immediate environments to minimize contamination of the measuring electrode by seepage from the reference electrode. Even with such a baffle, however, there is still some flow ("backflow") of electrolyte from the reference electrode to the measuring electrode. When very small ion concentrations are being measured, this backflow can interfere with the ion measurement and degrade its accuracy.
Ion measurements are frequently made in industrial environments by users with little experience in, or knowledge of, precise chemical processes. For such users, it is important to provide as much assistance as possible in the use of the measuring apparatus, without unduly complicating the system. Printed manuals are often quickly lost or rendered illegible by spills and other abuses. Electronic displays are frequently too expensive or too limited to provide the required assistance.
Accordingly, it is an object of the invention to provide an improved ion measurement/calibration cell.
Further, it is an object of the invention to provide an improved ion potentiometric measurement/calibration cell which effectively prevents backflow of reference electrolyte to the measuring electrode.
Yet another object of the invention is to provide an ion analyzer having a display that guides the user in the operation of the analyzer.
The invention description below refers to the accompanying drawings, of which:
Referring now particularly to
Referring now particularly to
A sample liquid whose ion concentration is to be measured is supplied to the cell 10 via a channel 60 (see
As shown in
The cell 10 accommodates a pair of potentiometric electrodes. A first (or measuring) electrode 80 (shown in dotted outline in
As is the case with U.S. Pat. No. 4,600,494, described above, the cell 10 operates in two modes, namely, measurement mode and calibration mode.
In measurement mode, the valve 62 is operated to provide sample solution to the cell via inlet line 64, valve 62, and channel 60. In this mode, the sample flows upwardly through channel 60 into shell 38 until its level reaches notch 42, which is located sufficiently high on the shell 38 that at least an active portion of the electrode 80 (i.e., a portion that must be wetted by a liquid to perform a measurement) is immersed in the liquid flowing through the shell. At this point the sample spills over into the channel 30 from which it exits to drain 66 via channel 50 and valve 62. The channel 30 confines the flow and ensures a small but well-defined volume for measurement purposes. In spilling over the shell 38 through the notch 42, a continuous liquid film, and thus conductive path, is maintained in the channel 30 in which the reference electrode 82 is immersed such that at least an active portion of this electrode is exposed to the liquid flowing through the channel. It should be understood that a continuous film could also be maintained without the notch 42, although a higher flow rate of liquid would be required since overflow from the shell would no longer be confined to one location on the shell 38. Thus the notch is advantageous but not absolutely necessary.
The cell is advantageously operated in a continuous measurement mode in which liquid sample continuously follows the path described and its ion concentration is either continuously or repeatedly measured as it does so. Of course, it may also be operated on an intermittent basis. As the sample sweeps along its path, it passes over the head of measuring electrode 80 (
In the calibration mode, valve 62 is positioned to admit both sample (from line 64) and air (from line 68) into the cell via line 60, and to establish communication between drains 46 and 66. In this mode, valve 62 operates to close drain 50, and the level of sample in the cell is allowed to rise until it reaches the uppermost point of siphon 44. At this time the siphon commences to operate and begins to drain sample liquid via drain 46 and thence through valve 62 into drain 66 from which it may suitably be disposed of. The drainage continues until the liquid level drops to the level of the inlet aperture 44 a of siphon 44.
After the drainage starts, a second valve (not shown) can be used to shut off the supply of sample liquid. When the drainage ceases, the cell contains a well-defined volume of sample. A potentiometric measurement of the ion concentration of the sample is then taken to establish a first reference point for calibration of the cell. Next, hatch 24 is opened, and preferably successive aliquots of precisely defined, concentrated solutions of the ion whose concentration is to be measured by the cell are added to the sample, the aliquots being of different concentrations, and successive potentiometric measurements are made to thereby establish second and third reference points for the sample. From these the desired calibration may be obtained.
Air is bubbled through the sample during calibration to insure good mixing of the aliquots and the sample; the valve 62 may also be operated to provide continuous recirculation of the captured sample through conduits 46 and 60 and valve 62 by means of the injected air, to thereby further insure thorough mixing of the sample and the added reagent. When the measurements are completed, the valve 62 is operated to allow the sample to drain through either or both or drains 46 and 50, valve 62, and drain 66. Preferably, the valve is further operated to allow sample to run through the cell for a brief time to thoroughly flush the cell prior to making actual measurements of sample concentration.
It will be understood that the valve 62 may be operated manually or by a simple programmed or programmable controller as are commonly used in industry. Further, the valve may be implemented as a set of several valves, each of which performs one or more of the multiple switching functions described for the single valve 62 shown herein.
As noted earlier, the siphon 44 is preferably adjustably connected to the base 12 so that the height of its inlet above the base may be changed to thereby allow precise adjustment of the sample volume of the cell in calibration mode. This is readily accomplished by providing the siphon with a threaded lower end which mates with a correspondingly threaded bore in the base 12, as shown at 44 b in
The accuracy of the calibration is further enhanced by ensuring an air-tight seal between the wall 14 and cover 16, as well as at the ports 18 and 2, when electrodes are inserted through them, and at the port 22 This ensures that, during calibration, the siphoning action begins at the same level for each calibration. The introduction of air bubbles into the cell during calibration will then increase the internal air pressure within the cell and help the siphon to commence operation at a reproducible sample level.
Turning now to
In accordance with the present invention, the display 94 displays text in a scrolling manner. Preferably, the display instructs the user as to operation of the cell at each step, so that even an inexperienced user can quickly be brought up to speed as to proper operation of the cell in all its aspects. The words of the instruction move across the display, e.g., from right to left, preferably in a continuous manner, although not restricted to this mode. Thus, although the physical width of the display is limited, it can display a message of length greater than the display width.
For example, during calibration it might be necessary to add a certain amount of reagent to the sample volume. An appropriate instruction might be as follows:
While this instruction could be displayed on the screen in its entirety at any time, to do so consumes considerable area. Thus, the typeface of the displayed instruction must be made small or the display area large. The former approach is psychologically uninviting, particularly when the cell is to be used in an industrial environment where accessibility is limited or lighting is poor. The latter approach leads to unacceptably large, and expensive, displays.
In accordance with the present invention, the display 94 is of limited length and height and of limited area. Preferably, its height is little more than that of type of, e.g., 20 point height, and its length, e.g., 50 characters. It will be understood that other sizes and lengths may be used. To accommodate the entire instruction, the instruction is scrolled across the screen. Preferably, this is done repeatedly, until the operator indicates that the indicated operation has been performed, e.g., by pressing the "Done" button 96 b. The benefits of a scrolling display are several. First, inexpensive, custom-LCD displays have a limited number of segments that can be switched on or off. Most off-the-shelf displays can accommodate, for example, only 160 segments. Scrolling thus enables a high information content with a small number of segments. Further, not only does this display conserve space, it appears to provide a psychological benefit as well, i.e., it appears that the user quickly absorbs the directed instructions and becomes proficient in use of the cell more readily than might otherwise be expected.
From the foregoing it will be seen that we have provided an improved measurement/calibration cell. The cell is simple and economical to construct, yet significantly improves the accuracy of ion measurements, an advantage that is especially important when measuring the concentration of ions such as Na ions which are particularly susceptible to interference from commonly-used reference electrolyte. The configuration of the cell of the present invention ensures that the flow is essentially one-way, from the measuring electrode to the reference electrode; backflow from the reference electrode to the measuring electrode is thus effectively prevented.
Further, we have provided a display that enables even an inexperienced user to perform measurement and calibration operations with confidence because step-by-step instructions can be displayed visually and in a manner (scrolling display) that appears to be especially amenable to assimilation by the user. Preferably, the text of the instructions scrolls across the display from one side to the other, such that only a fragment of an instruction is displayed at any one time. A single line of display has been found to be suitable, although other formats (e.g., multiple lines, vertical scrolling, etc.), may also be used. The display is readily implemented by commercially available LCD displays, although, of course, other displays such as LED displays, among others, may be used. The size of the display can be spatially limited yet, because of its nature, it can present a substantial amount of information in characters of a size as to be readily discernable even under the kind of adverse conditions (e.g., poor lighting, cramped space, among others) not infrequently encountered in industrial installations.

Green and sustainable cleaning practices are among the key drivers in the commercial cleaning industry, and show no signs of slowing down. Customer demand and the accompanying surge in environmentally preferable products and services is impacting the way facility managers think and approach the cleaning and maintenance of their buildings. But, does this focus on sustainability come at the expense of the bottom line?
The past ten years have brought tremendous growth in the awareness of green cleaning, and the widespread adoption of green cleaning programs and practices. A recent survey by ISSA, the worldwide cleaning industry association, and Sanitary Maintenance Magazine of commercial cleaning product distributors reported that almost one-third of total sales were for "green cleaning products," including a wide variety of products such as chemical cleaners, powered cleaning equipment, paper and plastics, supplies and other janitorial tools. In addition, a recent Contracting Profits Magazine report indicated that 83% of contract cleaning service providers had or will soon offer green cleaning services and that 43% of customers are specifically requesting sustainable cleaning practices be used in their facilities. The push for sustainable cleaning has even led to 22 state governments instituting some type of green cleaning procurement program.
"Green" products and practices have clearly helped facilities lower their impact on the environment. For example, facility managers have been able to reduce the health impact on both cleaning service workers and building occupants, reduce waste by incorporating a comprehensive recycling program, lower energy consumption and conserve water by investing in a variety of new technologies, including low-flow toilets and sinks, innovative cleaning equipment, and new plumbing systems that are capable of recycling water.
While the environmental benefits are clear, there is often the notion that sustainable cleaning and green products come with a high cost. However, a growing body of evidence has documented that comprehensive green cleaning programs, in addition to sustainable building practices, have led to significant savings on energy, water, chemicals and waste, while reducing illness and injuries to custodial staff as well as workers' compensation costs.
The University of Georgia's (UGA) Physical Plant Division - Services Department is a shining example. UGA has successfully implemented an innovative process improvement focused on green cleaning, environmental purchasing, and workplace safety, using the Cleaning Industry Management Standard-Green Building program (CIMS-GB) as a road map. The quantifiable benefits have been documented by the University:
Other facility managers have enjoyed a cost benefit when switching to "day cleaning" – where cleaning activities are performed during the daylight hours rather than at night – a cost benefit specifically resulting from reduced energy use. By choosing less hazardous cleaning products, facility managers can reduce exposure, minimize the potential impact to custodial workers and building occupants, improve indoor air quality and reduce water and ambient air pollution. Since many green cleaning practices call for greater dilution of cleaning products, there may be a reduction in packaging waste and disposal costs of hazardous cleaners. Many facility managers have also found green cleaning practices reduce wear and tear on facility assets, increasing their lifespan.
Sustainable and effective cleaning processes can be a critical component to helping buildings function with greater operational and financial efficiency. By better understanding the value of green cleaning, operations and maintenance teams can leverage sustainability to improve overall health and cleaning efforts, reduce costs, extend buildings' longevity, and, ultimately, have a positive impact on the bottom line.

text: on Aug 8, 2013 @ 8:47 AMAug 8, 2013 @ 8:47 AM Published Tokyo stocks close down 1.59%Tokyo stocks closed down 1.59 percent Thursday at a six-week low as selling pressure mounted in late trading after the market was initially buoyed by bargain-hunting.The benchmark Nikkei 225 index lost 219.38 points to 13,605.56, while the broader Topix index of all first-section shares fell 1.36 percent, or 15.67 points, to 1,139.59.The Nikkei had closed the morning session 0.73 percent higher as investors scooped up shares after the index slumped 4.0 percent on Wednesday.But they quickly became sellers as the dollar slipped, after overnight losses on US bourses.During the session, Japan's central bank said its board voted unanimously to keep its vast monetary easing programme unchanged after wrapping up a two-day policy meeting.The BoJ, which unveiled a huge bond-buying scheme in April, said the outlook for the world's third-biggest economy was looking brighter, while early signs of rising prices were good news for its efforts to hit a two-percent inflation target in as many years."Both the dollar and Wall Street are consolidating right now after very healthy run-ups year-to-date," said the SMBC Nikko Securities general manager of equities, Hiroichi Nishi."Until fresh dollar-buying catalysts appear, the currency levels are not going to encourage much new investor capital," he told Dow Jones Newswires. The dollar zigzagged against the yen in currency markets, touching 96.95 yen in the morning, before slipping to 96.24 yen in late afternoon trade. It was at 96.39 yen in New York on Wednesday.Before the opening bell, the Japanese finance ministry announced a smaller than expected current account surplus in June of 336.3 billion yen.The broadest measure of Japan's trade with the rest of the world was down about 20 percent from the same period last year.Tokyo's import bills have been soaring as it continues to import large amounts of expensive fossil fuels after shutting down most of its nuclear reactors following the Fukushima disaster in 2011.In stock trading, Uniqlo clothing chain operator Uniqlo lost 2.43 percent to 32,100 yen, mobile carrier SoftBank fell 2.68 percent to 6,170 yen and Sony slipped 1.28 percent to 1,927 yen.hih-sps/pb/sm

I loved this. Another Goodreads reviewer compared it to Mrs. Dalloway, and God help me, she's right. Nothing HAPPENS -- the book is all about the emotions and tiny changes in our female protagonist's head -- but it's so real and so touching and so momentous despite being writ so small. And I love the art. I do worry that this very short novel (I would say novella but after reading that Eudora Welty hated the word novella, I try not to say novella b/c what if I accidentally insult some novelist w ...more

To be honest this book was bland and insipid and uninspiring, right up to the last page. 9 year old Alice goes with her parents on a holiday that she hopes will be perfect, because while she is there she will celebrate her 10th birthday. But right from the start there is a fatalistic shadow over the whole story which sends a message that things will never be as good as you want them to be, and that is something you just have to accept about life… it's the best you can do.

Other readers seemed to have the same reactions to this that I did. The story is slow, and more or less an internal story about a nice kid who is growing up. Nothing incredibly dramatic happens. At least, not in terms of your average kids' novel. Nobody is forced to live in a broom closet by their stingy, jerky relatives. Nobody time travels. Nobody is riding cross country via dragon. The dramatic things that happen are pretty simple: a summer vacation doesn't turn out as a young girl hopes it w ...more

After reading this book, I was struck by its similarity in tone with Mrs. Dalloway. The subject matter is different, but Alice's introspection makes this book worth reading. Although it seems like not a lot is happening, the book is all about Alice and how she changes internally, day by day. Her thoughts about jealousy, change, and family are similar to ones that ran through my head when I was younger, and sometimes now.

Alice is an only child, in fact she is the child of two parents who are also only children. I think this is important to note, because this story of her week long vacation in Florida with her parents could serve as a cautionary tale regarding only children. I found Alice to be self-centered, coddled by her parents, and not very understanding towards younger or older people. She isn't a mean character, she's just overly sensitive and rigid, and hasn't had to deal with disappointment or accommodat ...more

What a lovely little book. Alice goes to Florida for an annual winter holiday with her parents. She is especially anxious about this one because it's when she will celebrate her tenth birthday. Everything is usually the same at the beach- the same cottage, the same friends, the same activities and the same birthday celebration of hot dogs, key lime pie and chocolate cake. Of course, from the start things feel different this time. And then some favorite friends aren't able to come and new friends ...more

I was stunned to read the reviews speaking to Alice's supposed 'selfish' desires and some kind of 'fatalistic' shadow hanging over the story - I'm sorry, but are those readers on glue? This book is one of the most amazing, patient, beautifully constructed narratives I've read in a long time.

She must adjust to new experiences and has much difficulty doing so as she really wants the vacation to feel right and it doesn't feel right ...more

The world of an only child is filled with grown-ups, or at least that's the case for Alice during an annual vacation in Florida. Generally there are other kids as well, but not this year, the year she is turning 10 years old. This year, the only other kid is the problematic Mallory, the 6-year-old daughter of Alice's Aunt Kate's new boyfriend.

I love Kevin Henkes, I listened to this one on audio. It gave me that feeling of being a young kid, still wanting to hang out with my parents, expecting them to know me better than I know myself and discovering that even though that's changing, it's okay and they support me as I shoot from their bow.

First, let me start out by saying I love Kevin Henkes picture books. I had never read one of his longer works, so I looked forward to this one, the story of a young girl's yearly trip to the ocean with her family. Unfortunately, I was bored to tears. None of the lightness and humor that accomponies Henkes shorter works was in this one. It was very boring, and I would be hard-pressed to find a reader for this one in my library, as I think others would be, too. Perhaps there is a young girl who li ...more

At first, this was a conflicted read for me. I wasn't a fan of Alice, the main character. She is a bit difficult and definitely sheltered often from her own displeasure. Her existence surrounded by adults who are in tune to her every breath is totally foreign to me. But Henkes writes so beautifully and the details of this little girl's eventual disappointments are so familiar, that it is difficult not to like her in the end. There is a genuine gentle type of heart ache that is simply part of gro ...more

This is one of those books that librarians love and teachers don't know what to do with. The protagonist is an incredibly introspective 9 year old on vacation with her family. The problem is that the emotions and reactions are those of a young child, but the language used is much older. What 7 year old can understand what the girl is saying and what 12 year old wants to read about a younger character? It falls awkwardly between grades in terms of appeal.

I've really loved the Henkes I've read thus far, and I had high hopes for this one. He has a quiet prose that's equally beautiful and heartbreaking. However, after OLIVE'S OCEAN and BIRD LAKE MOON, I feel like I've noticed a trend in Henkes' stories and their settings/setups. Maybe I just read them in a bizarre sort of order, but all three have had their protagonists out of their usual element, but in a recognizable location, with either an ocean or lake nearby. And while the aforementioned book ...more

I really enjoy Kevin Henkes' writing style. The first book I read by him was Owen, an easy-reader for very young children about a mouse's attachment to his security blanket and his parents' attempts to help him out-grow it. I adore that story, so when I came across this one I was excited to see it was by the same author. Junonia's intended audience is a bit older, middle-school aged kids.

Some parent's fantasy of what kids are thinking. Awkwardly written and dull. "Alice leaned into her mother to make her stay. In response, her mother leaned into Alice. At that very moment, Alice loved her mother so completely she thought they might fuse together and melt away." Yeah, I'll love you forever and like you for always, too.
Also, the elderly are people with feelings. But they still make good friends for ten-year-old girls. And everyone is beautiful in her own way.

I often judge (and choose) books by their cover and this one did not disappoint! Henkes captured that feeling of turning 10 (double digits!!) and all of the emotion surrounding birthdays and family and rituals and unfulfilled expectations. He nailed it all. I'm hoping Tom (who is turning 10 in December) will pick this one up and give it a try--even with Alice--a girl--as the main character. She charming and likable, but not uber girlie.

Sweet, wholesome, and more than a bit treacle-y with an unbearably self-centered and spoiled protagonist. Some nicely composed sentences here and there, but I find Henkes' style to be overly languid and his word-choices often grandiloquent.
The type of a not-much-there plot that really only works if the writing is breathtakingly beautiful or the characters are authentic and engaging – both facets which are lacking in this instance.

It's hard to categorize this book. It is sentimental without at all being cloying. I noticed that the parents of the protagonist are never named, i. e., "Alice's mother" and "Alice's father." This seems to reinforce the impression that we are experiencing the story from the point of view of the 10-year old protagonist. Henkes so convincingly gets into her interior mind when he describes her musings. Gorgeously written.

"Because she was looking down and focusing her attention so precisely, Alice lost track of time and of herself. She wouldn't be able to put it into words, except to say she felt removed from the world. Or just at its edge. At the edge of the wild and beautiful world. She felt small, too. But part of something large. She was happy."More quotes…

The Journal Sentinel Editorial Board's blog on the day's happenings as they happen
Cursive optional
As someone whose neat penmanship as a child eroded into chicken scratch as an adult, I'm torn that cursive handwriting may be on its last legs in America. Wisconsin is among 41 states that have adopted Common Core State Standards, which don't require cursive (it's optional). The rationale is that teaching keyboard skills is more crucial than time-consuming cursive. Yes, we must adapt to the times. But I fear that kids who don't learn to write cursive won't be able to read it as well. And that would be a shame.

VERITAS Software Corporation, of Mountain View, Tuesday reported a GAAP net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 of $86 million, or 20 cents per diluted share, compared to GAAP net income of $46 million, or 11 cents per diluted share, for the same period a year ago. Included in GAAP net income are charges of $4.6 million, net of taxes, for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 and $31.7 million, net of taxes, for the same period a year ago, related to amortization of intangibles, in-process research and development and stock-based compensation.
The company recorded a revenue of $485 million for the second quarter, compared to revenue of $408 million for the same period a year ago, representing 19 percent growth year-over-year.
"While total revenue was up 19 percent year-over-year, the June quarter was challenging in our U.S. enterprise business, particularly for license transactions at the end of the quarter," said Gary Bloom, chairman, president and CEO, VERITAS Software. "License revenue was up seven percent and service revenue was up 38 percent year-over-year. Our channel and international businesses performed well this quarter, with our EMEA and Asia Pacific regions growing 44 percent and 34 percent, respectively, year-over-year."

that this is gonna to fix some enemy bum ;D
Forgotten Hope 2 is an award-winning World War II modification for Battlefield 2TM and is based on the original Forgotten Hope, a modification for Battlefield 1942TM, one of the most popular multiplayer games ever. Battlefield 1942TM featured land, sea and air combat in a way never before seen. It was the goal of the development team to maximize the game experience by adding both a realistic and enjoyable gameplay to FH and now to FH2.
that this is gonna to fix some enemy bum ;D
No offense, but doesn't the base plate seem rather large? I've had to make a 3D model of it myself, it of all the reference pictures I saw, it never was that deep. Unless it's been made that way for an engine or animation purpose, in which case I understand.
Can't wait for the new update, you guys always amaze us.
The 120mm M1938 mortar was a relatively unremarkable design when compared to other mortars. The M1943 modification added only a shock absorber to the bipod mounting to lessen the effect of recoil forces. It was, however, a very successful weapon.
It was easy to move despite its weight, having a wheeled trailer that it could very quickly be attached and detached from. The HE bombs were powerful and the mortar was occasionally used for missions usually assigned to howitzers. The Germans were impressed enough to use captured weapons, and also produced their own direct copy as the 12 cm GrW 42. The M1943 was not replaced in service with the USSR until 1981, and many are still in use today. Ours was made by Fred.

It's no secret that Lindsay Lohan is broke--home girl hasn't worked in ages--but she's also over half a million in credit card debt! Talk about bad money management!
"Lindsay owes credit cards $600,000," a source tells Radaronline of the troubled 23-year-old. "One card cut her off last week and it's only a matter of time before all her other credit cards cut her off too."
"One credit card company is going to discuss a payment plan for Lindsay," the source continued. "But if she doesn't have the income and can't make her payments, they are prepared to sue her."
Hollyscoop was the FIRST TO REPORT on Lindsay's financial troubles back in 2007. "The money that she has isn't really there anymore. There's no money saved up. Its not hard to go through 5 million dollars, especially if your Lindsay Lohan," our source said at the time.
Michael Lohan: I Don't Want to See My Daughter Die
While she hasn't starred in a hit movie for years, she used to make a ton of money by making club appearances. But those days are long gone too. She used to make over $50K an appearance but that fee is now down to about $5K.
But of course Lindsay won't take her creditors seriously. She just parties the nights away as if she doesn't have a care in the world. Sadly she's in for a reality check soon.
