Beta lovers with never believe how much more capable the he6 is than off a beta at any gain. I think the beta is a wonderful sounding amp with anything else. Yes it can make them go insanely loud, but loud and properly driven are two different things. I do like the the beta though.

i tried the HE-6 with my beta(8X gain) in the E.U. loaner program and i don´t keep a good memory.
now i bought one HE-6:i want to see if my memories were correct or not

That is definitely not the case, the amp also went to ear splitting levels, it just couldn't hold its composure at, high though not earsplitting levels, into the HE-6s. Of which all 3 speaker amps we tried did. The b22 is an amazing amp, it performs beautifully with the LCD-2s, but its just not quite enough for the HE-6s.
Thanks for clarifying. The original comment I responded to made it seem like it was just a matter of volume.
I've only tried integrated amps with the HE6 in terms of speaker gear...won't comment on the monoblock comparison until I hear one.

Hi SoupRKnowva
That amb b24 amp you heard driving the HE-6's; were the phones connected directly to the binding posts or was there a HE-adpater mediating between them?
I'm keen to know because I'm just about to finish building a 150w per channel power amp for my speakers that should be on a similar level to the b24 (it's a SKA gb150d in dual mono configuration) and just yesterday bought a pair of HE-6's (will do away with the connectors hardwire a homebuilt cable to the drivers).
Would love to be able to use this amp to drive them, without risk of damaging them. I'd rather do without the HE-adapter as in my mind it isn't going to help the sound one bit. Is this wise? Cheers
As was already mentioned, you can definitely connect your HE-6s directly to the binding posts. Just be careful with the volume the first time you plug them in, i would lower it all the way down and then bring it up slowly just to make sure you dont blow a hole in your HE-6s or your eardrums

I'll say this, when you get into this territory of gear, there is a much greater amount of alike than difference and it becomes a matter of personal preference. Any configuration is certainly enough to make anyone happy.

Happy Camper,
How did you like the HD800 on the Single Power. I thought it sounded a bit better on that than the Beta, not as sharp.

Agreed. Tubes softens / SS hardens in a very general sense. The tube amp filled the bones of the 800s. Gave it some weight. Between them and the T-1, I think I'd rather do the T-1 but there is something that sucks you in on those 800s. A bright source or amp though and it just kills them. I'd really like to hear the 800s on the ZD. Every Senn I've heard on that amp sounds excellent.

the beta-22 and hd-800 is a good combo but i agree with you:probably the tubes are the best solution

Nice thread..
From the headphones discussed here.. Ive heard the HE-6, LCD-2 and SR-009 (driven from a very high end tube amp, and the SR-009 was driven from a Blue Hawaii I think). I have to say.. my favourite ones were the HE-6. I heard them even from my Schiit Lyr and it was a rather satisfactory result. It sounded noticeably better from the better amp, however it wasnt a night and day difference. I dont remember exactly how it sounded.. but i believe it was very detailed and very balanced. Excellent bass texture without too much bass slam. I remember listening to familiar songs and discovering a new world of sounds within them, very revealing.
The Stax was brilliant, but it didnt leave such an impression on me as other cans did.
I haven't heard the LCD-3, but from what Im reading.. I suppose they aren't really worth the difference in price between them and the LCD-2. Everyone keeps saying that they arent that much different. Also, I didnt really like the sound signature of the LCD-2. Not only were they too dark for my taste, their midrange was too recessed.
Now... these cans are still out of my league for two reasons. I have other financial priorities since im still a student and its impossible for me to safely transport that much gear as I have to move every 6 months. However, I decided to look into a pair of HE-500.. how do you guys think it will pair with the Lyr?
I have this particular combo, and I find the background to be a bit grainy. I've heard this is a tube thing. However, with certain music, the sound is fuller than with my Burson.
Thanks to the folks at The Cable Company, I will be able to compare the two this weekend with my Algorhythm Solo, ALO RX Mk3B combo. I've had the LCD-3 for a few days now, and like it best with a bit of a treble boost. I listen mostly to classical. I know that the HE-6 will take more juice, but Mike over at Headphonia liked the synergy. So it will be interesting.....
To update:
I received the headphones today. The HiFiMan came with a Cardas cable and the Audeze with the stock single ended cable. I had no trouble driving either phone with the ALO Rx-3B amp.
Tonality: I found the LCD-3 to sound a bit dark. It sounded much better with a treble boost. Conversely, the HE-6 sounded better to me with a bass boost. Go figure...thank goodness the IPod Classic made this easy.
Bass: Deeper on the LCD-3. But there were times (as with some of the organ notes on the Munch/BSO Saint Saens Organ Symphony) where the attacks were clearer on the HE-6.
Midrange: Both were excellent. There were times during the 1st movement of the Mozart 28th symphony (Szell/Cleveland) where the violins sounded crisper on the HE-6. Maybe the LCD-3 was capturing more hall resonance?
Treble: Surprisingly, I didn't notice much of a difference.
Soundstaging: More precise with the LCD-3. I listened to some experimental stereo Toscanini/NBC recordings that are notorious for wide stereo spread with a "hole in the middle." The HE-6 caused a few instruments to bleed into the middle. More forgiving of a bad recording, but not as exacting as the LCD-3.
Ergonomics: Here is where the LCD-3 excelled. I really appreciated the elongated soft ear pads and the forward facing headphone cord jacks. I wasn't able to tip my head down without hitting a cord with the HE-6.
Summary: Both the LCD-3 and HE-6 are top end phones that define the SOTA. My preference is for the LCD-3.

A method of determining dilution of a well bore fluid, such as a drilling fluid, comprising preparing a drilling fluid having a known concentration of bromide ion, using the drilling fluid, recovering a sample of the used drilling fluid, determining quantitatively the concentration of bromide ion in the used drilling fluid, comparing the concentration of bromide ion in the sample drilling fluid with the known concentration of bromide ion in the drilling fluid and determining the dilution of the drilling fluid.
1. A method of determining the dilution of a wellbore fluid by connate water or surface water invasion comprising preparing a wellbore fluid having a known concentration of bromide ion uniformly distributed in such wellbore fluid, using said wellbore fluid in an earth borehole, recovering a sample of said used wellbore fluid, determining quantitatively the concentration of said bromide ion in said recovered sample, comparing the concentration of bromide ion in said recovered sample with said known concentration of said bromide ion in said wellbore fluid, and determining the dilution of said wellbore fluid.
2. The method of claim 1 wherein the concentration of said bromide ion is determined electrochemically using a bromide ion selective electrode.
3. The method of claim 1 wherein said known concentration of said bromide ion in said well bore fluid is from about 20 parts per million to about 10,000 parts per million.
4. The method of claim 1 wherein said well bore fluid comprises a drilling mud.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to testing of well bore fluids and, more particularly, a method of measuring changes in the well bore fluid due to dilution from connate water invasion or surface dilution.
2. Description of the Background
In well drilling, completion and workover operations, particularly well drilling operations, there is a need to know whether there has been any dilution of the well bore fluid, e.g. the drilling mud, from downhole formation water, i.e. connate water, or from surface dilution. Such dilution can change the density of the well bore fluid rendering it unsuitable for use and, in many cases, unsafe. For example, dilution of the drilling mud may lower its density to the point where it cannot maintain sufficient hydrostatic pressure in the well bore to prevent a blowout. Dilution by connate water may also be important as an indication of the nature of the formation through which the drilling is taking place. Furthermore, in workover and completion operations, it is desirable and often times necessary to know whether there has been invasion of connate water into the completion or workover fluid.
In U.S. Pat. No. 3,407,042, there is described a method of testing well samples, such as a fluid or core material, to determine whether there has been invasion of the well sample by the drilling fluid. In the method described in the patent, nitrate ion is added to the drilling mud and the concentration of nitrate ion found in the well sample compared with the concentration of that originally in the drilling mud. In the method described in the patent, the well sample is tested to determine invasion from the drilling mud. However, there is no testing of the drilling fluid per se to determine dilution by invasion either from surface fluids or connate water. Moreover, the method described in the patent utilizes a colorimetric test method which can pose difficulties when the drilling fluid contains colored additives.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a method of determining the dilution of a well bore fluid by connate water or surface invasion.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a method of determining the dilution of a drilling mud which can be conducted in whole mud or mud filtrate.
Still another object of the present invention is to provide a well bore fluid which can be easily analyzed to determine dilution by connate water or surface invasion.
The above and other objects of the present invention will become apparent from the description given herein and the claims.
In one embodiment, the present invention provides a method of determining the dilution of a well bore fluid, e.g. a drilling mud, by connate water or surface invasion. In the method, a well bore fluid having a known concentration of bromide ion is prepared. The well bore fluid is then used in an earth borehole, such as in a drilling, completion or workover operation, and a sample of the thus used well bore fluid recovered. The recovered sample is analyzed to quantitatively determine the concentration of the bromide ion in the recovered sample, which is then compared with the known concentration of the bromide ion in the well bore fluid to thereby determine any dilution of the well bore fluid.
In another embodiment, the present invention provides a well bore fluid comprising water, a water-soluble source of bromide ion and a well treating agent selected from the class consisting of weighting materials, viscosifiers, fluid loss control additives and mixtures thereof.
The method of the present invention is applicable to a number of well bore fluids. The term "well bore fluids," as used herein, refers to any fluid which is commonly used in drilling, completion or workover operations in the oil and gas industry. The method is especially useful with drilling fluids or muds to determine dilution from formation water, e.g. connate water, or surface dilution. The well bore fluids are those which are water based or have an aqueous phase in which can be dissolved a water-soluble source of bromide ion.
In the method of the present invention, a well bore fluid is prepared and is admixed with a suitable source of a water-soluble bromide ion, the well bore fluid being thoroughly mixed to ensure that the bromide ion source is dissolved and the bromide ion is uniformly distributed throughout the well bore fluid. It will be appreciated that insufficient mixing or distribution of the bromide ion in the drilling fluid and the well bore fluid will lead to errors in determining any dilution of the well bore fluid.
The source of bromide ion can be any water-soluble compound which will provide a source of bromide ions in the desired range. Thus, water-soluble bromide salts, such as alkali metal bromides, alkaline earth metal bromides, etc. can be employed. Generally speaking, the alkali metal bromides, such as sodium bromide, potassium bromide, etc. are preferred. The amount of water-soluble bromide added to the well bore fluid will generally be in an amount sufficient to provide a bromide ion concentration of from about 20 to about 10,000 parts per million by weight.
In order to practice the method of the present invention, it is desirable to prepare a series of calibration standards of the well bore fluid to be monitored containing various amounts of bromide ion. To this end, samples of fresh well bore fluid are admixed with varying amounts of a source of water-soluble bromide ion. These various calibration standards are then analyzed for bromide ion content and a suitable calibration curve which relates bromide ion concentration to a determinable parameter made. While other analysis techniques can be employed, the method of the present invention is particularly adapted to an electrochemical method of measuring the bromide ion concentration using a bromide ion sensitive electrode and developing a calibration curve or a plot of relative millivolts (Rel mv), the determinable parameter, versus bromide ion concentration. In developing the calibration curve, it is generally preferred to prepare, on semilog paper, a graph of millivolts versus bromide concentration. Ion sensitive electrodes are well known and widely used in analytical techniques. Such ion sensitive electrodes employ potentiometric analysis wherein direct measurement of an electrode potential from the ion sensitive electrode is directly related to the concentration of the ion under consideration. For a discussion of the method of analysis and the specific use of bromide ion sensitive electrodes, see U.S. Pat. No. 3,563,874, incorporated herein by reference. Suitable commercially available apparatus for conducting bromide ion analyses include an Orion Model 90-01 reference electrode, an Orion Model 94-35 bromide electrode and an Orion Model 901 Digital Ionalyze.
Once a suitable calibration curve has been prepared, the well bore fluid containing a known amount of bromide ion is prepared and can then be used in normal well operations, e.g., drilling, completion or workover activities. Periodically, a sample of the "spiked" well bore fluid which has been prepared can be taken and the bromide ion concentration measured. By comparing the concentration of the sampled well bore fluid with the calibration curve, the content of the bromide ion in the "used" well bore fluid can be determined, i.e. since the concentration of the bromide ion in the "spiked" well bore fluid originally prepared is known, by comparing the concentration of the bromide ion in the "used" well bore fluid with the calibration curve, it can be determined whether the bromide ion concentration has decreased from the known value thereby indicating dilution of the well bore fluid.
Compositions of well bore fluids made in accordance with the present invention are those well bore fluids which contain water, a water-soluble source of bromide ion and a well treating agent which can be a weighting material, e.g. barite, illmenite, etc., a viscosifier such as hydroxyethyl cellulose, carboxymethyl cellulose, etc. or any one of numerous fluid loss additives commonly employed in drilling, completion or workover operations. The well treating agents can be present in the well bore fluids alone or in combination depending upon the specific type of well bore fluid being formulated. The well bore fluid can also contain non-bromide ion, water-soluble salts, such as sodium chloride, calcium chloride, zinc chloride, etc. Such salts are commonly used as weighting agents, alone or in admixture with viscosifiers and fluid loss control additives, in completion and workover fluids.
To more fully demonstrate the invention, the following non-limiting examples are presented. In all cases, bromide ion measurements were made using an electrode pair of an Orion Model 90-01 Single-Junction Reference Electrode and a Model 94-35 Bromide Electrode using an Orion Model 901 Digital Ionalyzer.
Different amounts of dry sodium bromide were dissolved in samples of ten different well bore fluids identified as Mud G-524 and Mud G-490, so as to form mud samples containing from about 50 parts per million to about 10,000 parts per million of bromide ion on a weight basis. The samples were thoroughly stirred using a GKH-heavy duty stirrer for two minutes. Potentiometric measurements were then made on the various samples with the electrode pair with continuous stirring. Properties of Mud G-524 and Mud G-490 are listed below in Table 1. Table 2 shows a comparison of bromide ion concentration (ppm) versus Rel mv for the different samples.

Using linear regression, the following calibration equation for Mud G-524 was determined: ##EQU1## where y is the concentration of bromide ion and x if the Rel mv. The equation is found to be linear in the range from 100 ppm to 10,000 ppm of bromide ion.
The calibration curve of Mud-490 was two linear parts --one being from 2,000 ion to 10,000 ppm of bromide and the other from 100 ppm to 2,000 ppm of bromide ion. The calibration equation for 2,000 to 10,000 ppm of bromide ion is ##EQU2## where x is the Rel mv and y is the concentration of bromide ion in ppm.
The calibration equation for 100 ppm to 2,000 ppm is ##EQU3## where y is a bromide ion concentration in ppm and x is Rel mv. The calibration curve of Mud G-490 is thus formed to have two linear parts, i.e. from 2,000 to 10,000 ppm bromide ion and from 100 to 2,000 ppm bromide ion.
Mud G-490 was filtered with an API filter press to obtain a filtrate The filtrate was diluted 50% by weight with deionized water and different amounts of dry sodium bromide dissolved in the diluted filtrate to obtain samples containing from about 50 ppm to 10,000 ppm of bromide ion on a weight basis. The samples were then measured as per the procedure of Example 1 to determine bromide ion concentration versus Rel mv. Table 3 below shows the results.
TABLE 3______________________________________ ppm of Filtrate of Bromide Mud G-490______________________________________ 10,000 -95.2 8,000 -90.1 4,000 -74.0 2,000 -66.7 1,000 -56.7 800 -58.7 400 -54.7 100 -50.9 50 -18.4______________________________________
When plotted on semilog graph paper, a smooth calibration curve is obtained using the data in Table 3.
To further demonstrate that the method of the present invention can be used both on the "whole" mud and the mud filtrate, measurements were made on Mud G-524 and its filtrate, Mud G-490 and its filtrate and a third mud, Mud G-619 and its filtrate. In all cases, the bromide ion concentration in the filtrate was 500 ppm by weight. The results are shown in Table 4 below.
TABLE 4______________________________________COMPARISON OF RELATIVE MILLIVOLTSFOR Br- IN MUDS AND FILTRATES Rel mv Rel mv fromMud No. from Mud Mud Filtrate Cl- % in Mud______________________________________619 -73.1 -74.6 0.14524 -57.8 -61.7 0.13490 -91.2 -99.1 16.40______________________________________
As can be seen, the relative millivolts between Mud G-619 and its filtrate and Mud G-524 and its filtrate are within 4 mv, but 8 mv for Mud G-490 and its filtrate. As can also be seen from Table 4, the chloride ion content in Mud G-490 is very high indicating that at high chloride levels, interference from chloride must be taken into account in conducting the measurements.
As can be seen from the data above, bromide ion concentration variation in well bore fluids, e.g. drilling muds, can be detected potentiometrically by establishing a calibration curve of bromide ion versus relative millivolts for the mud. If the calibration curve is linear (Example 1), linear regression can be used to obtain a calibration equation. If not, the curve can be treated linear in some region and calibration equations can still be obtained by linear regression (Example 2). If interfering ions are not present, the bromide electrode readings directly from whole mud is about the same as that from mud filtrate. However, as seen from Example 4, when chloride interference is strong, the difference in readings between the whole mud and its filtrate are considerably greater.
A calibration curve on a drilling mud is prepared as per the procedure of Example 1. A known amount of bromide ion is then added to the drilling mud which is used in the conventional downhole drilling operation. Periodically, samples of the drilling mud returned from downhole are analyzed by the procedure of Example 1 and the results obtained compared with the calibration curve established. From the comparison, the concentration of bromide ion in the used drilling mud samples is determined, and it is determined whether there has been any dilution of the drilling mud from connate water or from surface invasion.
The foregoing disclosure and description of the invention is illustrative and explanatory thereof, and various changes in the method steps may be made within the scope of the appended claims without departing from the spirit of the invention.

Meghan McCain: 'Stupid' of Mitt Romney to not expect cameras
When Mitt Romney made a comment that most Americans who rely on governmental handouts are not his job to worry about, he was being "stupid," said Meghan McCain.
"He was just letting loose at a fundraiser that he thought was closed camera which is stupid," she told News/Talk 92.3 KTAR's Mac & Gaydos. "I assume every time I leave my apartment that there's someone with a camera phone recording everything I do."
McCain said that Romney, with his national prominence, has to expect situations like this.
"Even at the fundraiser. If the people attending weren't taking video, I'm sure some waiter there was probably like, 'Hey, I should put this on the Internet' and it's stupid of him to not realize that."

Editorial Reviews
Library JournalDworkin is a prominent and controversial feminist political theorist. This compilation of her writings from 1976 to 1987 contains speeches, literary criticism, and her testimony before the Attorney General's Commission on Pornography. Present throughout are the themes of women dominated and silenced by men, of anger and powerlessness in a male society, and of the danger of a doctrine of biological superiority. Dworkin's zealous opposition to pornography is well documented here, as are her problems in getting published because of her militant anti-male stance. There are definite notes of pride and self-pity in this book, but Dworkin's dedication to her cause cannot be questioned. This book will be released simultaneously with a paperback reprint of Pornography ( LJ 6/1/81). Both books are recommended for all collections.-- Barbara M. Bibel, Oakland P.L., Cal.

David Meerman Scott, a well-known marketing strategist, coined the term "newsjacking," which he describes as "the process by which you inject your ideas or angles into breaking news, in real-time, in order to generate media coverage for yourself or your business." The concept makes sense, and we all know that a great way to gain relevance online is by leveraging hot topics and news items that are beginning to trend-but it's a competitive, and fast-moving, field. How do content marketers stay on top of the relevant trends and news in their industries to ensure they're curating and communicating fresh, engaging content?

European plane maker Airbus has opened a new assembly plant in Toulouse, France. It will produce long-range A350 jets made of lightweight materials to save carriers fuel costs and challenge a rival Boeing airliner.
Europe's flagship plane maker Airbus on Tuesday inaugurated a new production facility in Toulouse, France, which is designed to assemble the company's new A350 jetliner.
The plane is meant to be the continent's first major contribution to a new generation of aircraft scheduled to drastically decrease fuel consumption by using high-tech materials. The A350s will be made of carbon-composite elements instead of the much heavier aluminum.
The plane is a direct response to rival Boeing's 787 Dreamliner which is already in the skies. Airbus said its A350 will take off in 2013 and enter service a year later.
Three different models of the A350 aircraft will seat between 270 and 350 people.
High initial costs
Analysts said the market for low-fuel planes was worth several hundreds of billions of euros. But in an initial phase, both Airbus and Boeing look unlikely to pocket big profits as they face huge construction challenges with the lightweight materials in question much costlier to produce.
The Toulouse plant will start the production cycle immediately and aims to assemble 10 planes a month by 2018.
Airbus hopes it will not be too late to play a major role in intensifying competition with Boeing for jet sales in Asia and other fast-growing markets.
Airbus is still embroiled in legal disputes with the US and Germany over the funding of the A350. Washington has accused the European plane maker of receiving what it called "illegal" development loans from European governments, while Germany has withheld part of its share of the loans in an ongoing spat over jobs.

ThatŌĆÖs the latest from Simon Johnson and Peter Boone in ŌĆ£The Doomsday Cycle Turns: WhoŌĆÖs Next?ŌĆØ Who is next? America, Japan, the euro zone are the triple threat next in the line of fire, in danger of collapsing, thanks to a doomsday conspiracy where global ŌĆ£political and financial systems have aligned to build these dangers rather than suppress them.ŌĆØ
Three years ago, the first warning: ŌĆ£The Doomsday Cycle.ŌĆØ Since then Simon Johnson, former IMF chief economist, co-authored two bestsellers, ŌĆ£13 Bankers: The Wall Street Takeover and the Next Financial Meltdown,ŌĆØ and recently, ŌĆ£White House Burning.ŌĆØ Peter Boone is a research associate at the London School of Economics, which published their doomsday warnings.
In the first they warned: ŌĆ£Over the last 30 years, we have built a financial system that threatens to topple our global economic order, we have let an unsustainable and crazy ŌĆśdoomsday cycleŌĆÖ infiltrate our economic system.ŌĆØ This doomsday ŌĆ£cycle will not run forever ŌĆ" The destructive power of the down-cycle will overwhelm the restorative ability of the government, just like it did in 1929-31.ŌĆØ

BBFC hits back at critics
The BBFC has hit back at recent criticism from top dogs at Microsoft and EA, after they voiced their concerns over the Byron report's proposal that the group starts rating a larger proportion of video games in the UK.
Currently, the BBFC is only referred to a game if it includes a high level of violence or sexual content.
"We are disappointed and concerned about attempts by one or two videogames publishers to pre-empt, through recent press statements, the forthcoming public consultation on videogames classification," said the BBFC's Director, David Cooke
In response to EA's Keith Ramsdale who complained the proposed changes would lead to delays in releases, Cooke said: "The BBFC's current average turnaround time for games classifications is eight calendar days. In terms of international comparisons, this is notably quick. There is no reason why the increased role for the BBFC envisaged by Dr Byron should lead to delays."
He also responded to Microsoft's senior regional director for EDD in the UK and Ireland, Neil Thompson, who commented that the changes to the ratings system could cause the price of games to rise.
"BBFC classifications are already cheaper for many games than those under the Pan European Games Information System. Because the BBFC currently deals mainly with the most problematic games, BBFC costs will fall if, as Dr Byron recommended, we take on all games, physical and online, rated 12 and above," he said.
Cooke went on to rebut claims that the BBFC would be unable to cope with the expected glut of online and user-generated games.
"The BBFC is a larger and better resourced organisation than PEGI, and is well used to gearing up, and to providing fast-track services where appropriate. We reject any suggestions that the Byron proposals for dealing with online games are not future-proof," he explained.
"Countries such as the USA and Germany already classify such games in a way which reflects national cultural sensibilities. The BBFC has made clear that we are prepared to work through PEGI Online, which already recognises BBFC symbols. But, with online games, the real need is not a pan-national grouping of markets, but rather soundly based and independent initial classification, full information provision, and responsible self-regulation of online game-play backed by properly resourced independent monitoring and complaints mechanisms."
He concluded: "The games industry really does have nothing to fear from a set of proposals which would provide more robust, and fully independent, decisions, and detailed content advice, for the British public, and especially parents."
Wow. They really did get him riled up.

G2 theory calculations were performed on [H3SiO4]−, H4SiO4, [H3AlO4]2−, [H4AlO4]−, and [H5AlO4]. Molecular structures, atomic charges, and infrared spectra at the HF/6-31G* and MP2/6-31G* levels are compared. The influence of polarization and diffuse functions on the structure of [H3SiO4]− is also examined. Basis set and electron correlation effects on potential energies are assessed by comparing various levels of theory. Proton affinities of these gas-phase molecules and related mineral surface species are predicted based on corrections for cluster-size effects.

Reader: New Jersey is the skid mark on the underwear of the United States
After New Jersey Governor Chris Christie made negative comments about Colorado in the context of the state's pot laws, Governor John Hickenlooper's office struck back, compiling lists showing Colorado ranked higher than NJ. At that point, things got personal, with loads of readers measuring the relative attributes of Colorado and New Jersey. Here's one particularly harsh assessment of the latter.
Mick Paul writes:
Denver was on the map long before rec. pot. New Jersey is the skid mark on the underwear of the United States. The only good thing about Jersey is Bruce Springsteen and the E. Street Band.

Former drug peddler Donna Parker has been fingered as the possible source of a drug smuggling operation as she is noticed speaking with inmates and visitors in a way that leads the guards to believe that she is attempting to facilitate and make deals. Donna Parker has had a problem with accepting her bottom of the pack status in life since coming into prison and so the guards Miss Zoe and Officer Lewis decide a good sound spanking and strapping might help her to remember and understand her place!
And I have some of the spanking pics
And remember you can see the video (to the spanking pics) now exclusively at Bars and Stripes Spanking Prison

sunday in the city.
since i'm in a brand new city, i thought it might be fun to bring back some sunday in the city posts. this weekend i had a good friend visiting, and i've been wanting to check out the old fairfax district's farmer's market, just adjacent to the grove. when i visited with my family as a kid, there was just the farmer's market established in 1934 — so i found myself feeling surprisingly sentimental today to discover that although a large outdoor shopping mall now surrounds it, the original farmer's market is pretty much perfectly intact. i was filled with nostalgia walking the market once again and seeing some of the historic old shops — the same fresh peanut butter maker is still there, bennett's ice cream, du-par's pie & coffee shop,and bob's donuts, all still there. all of my favorite childhood haunts (and delicious smells!) just as they were so many years ago. even the colorful cafe tables and chairs smiled back at me! so grateful that sometimes you really can go home again.
Friday Finds: TRUCK Furniture.
In 1997, Tokuhiko Kise and Hiromi Karatsu created TRUCK, an Osaka-based furniture shop with one philosophy: to make the things they want. Their work has been an ode to the simplicity and practicality of that philosophy. I made it a point to visit the store during my recent adventures in Japan and brought back snapshots of this timeless beauty (though pictures don't do it justice).
Happy Friday,
around L.A. / the MIA project.
The MIA Project began in 2012 with a small but powerful badge given to makers and shop owners conducting the majority of their business in America — the badge to be proudly displayed on their websites, social medias and storefronts, attracting the intentional consumer. Founder Micha Thomas launched the online store with over 100 makers in the Spring of 2014 and introduced the first brick and mortar a year later on York Blvd in Highland Park. The tiny space is packed full with a well-curated selection of fine, made-in-America apparel, home objects, apothecary and accessories. But the MIA Project goes beyond retail with maker interviews and spotlights with like-minded shop keepers in a constant effort to educate and celebrate a movement that's sweeping the country. Stop in soon for a visit, a gift and a little somethin' somethin' for yourself.
