Cl. 96 -3 21 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE BACKGROUND oF THE INVENTION (1) Field of the invention The present invention relates to certain indomethylene dye bases, to photosensitive compositions containing the same, and to processes and imaging media for producing direct printout photographic images with said compositions. (2) Descrpion of the prior art Light-sensitive compositions comprising certain cyanine, merocyanine, and/or styryl dye bases in combina-;. tion with organic halogen compounds generating free. radicals on exposure to light are known in the prior art, as taught, for example, in U.S.,Pats. 3,100,703; 3,102, 810; and 3,109,736. On exposure to light, the organic. halogen compounds decompose to form free. radicals which react with the dye bases in the compositions to. form colored dyes. The compositions, when supported on' a suitable carrier, can be used for the production of direct print-out photographic images. Commonly-owned copending patent application Serf No. 658,425, filed Aug. 4, 1967 teaches processes for pro-1 ducing direct positive photocopies using such systems by exposing a supported light-sensitive composition of this type to imaging light to produce a negative image copy, transferring unexposed portions of thecornposition to a transfer sheet in the presence of a transfer agent preferentially dissolving unexposed portions of the composition, the positive copy. Commonly-owned copending patent application Ser. No. 658,428, filed Aug. 4, 1967, now US. Pat. No. 3,460,313, discloses similar dye-transfer processes for producing multi-layer full color prints by, separate exposure of three supported light-sensitive com positions to imaging light from a color negative through. colored filters, with transfer of each dye image formed in register to a transfer sheet. In this case, a transfer agent which is a preferential solvent for the dye formed in exposed areas of the composition is employed. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, a number of novel indomethylene dye bases have been discovered which, when employed in light-sensitive compositions, form dyes having improved light-fastness and improved differential solubility vis-a-vis the dye baseprecursors. In particular, Patented Aug. 10, I971 ice using the dye bases of the present invention, it is possible to formulate light-sensitive compositions which on exposure to light produce, among other dyes, cyan and magenta dyes whichparticularly are more light-fast than those dyes formed from carbocyanine dye base precursors. The indomethylene dye bases, further, are more soluble in non-polar solvents, and are less soluble in polar solvents, than other dye bases heretofore used in the art. This permits a much improved selectivity of transfer of either an unexposed composition comprising a dye base or of an exposed composition comprising a dye from an 1 imaging medium to a transfer sheet in the production of direct print-out positive images. or of dye transfer images, respectively. The present invention further encompasses novel imaging media including at least one layer of a photosensitive composition producing color by the reaction of free radicals with a dye base such as an indomethylene dye base, particularly multi-layer copy media incorporating three photosensitivecolor-producing layers therein. Processes for utilizing these imaging'media include a quick process for preparing color proofs. DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Indornethylene dye bases useful according to the present invention include those of the formula: wherein n is an integer from 0 to 2, R and R are each lower alkyl, and K is selected from the group consisting of Y x N LCH wherein R is H or lower alkyl and Y is H or lower alkoxy; wherein R is lower alkyl and R is H or 3-lower alkyl-2 and then exposing the transfer sheet to light to produce indolyl; (in-- i I wherein A and Z are each 3-lower alkyl- 2-indoly1; and wherein R is lower alkyl or R is H, 2-lower alkyl-3-indolyl, or . and where n, R 'and R have their earlier significance. The language indomethylene dye base as used in the present specification and claims is intended to encompass dye bases containing one or more substituted or unsubstituted indole nuclei including one or more olefinic unsaturations in the five-membered ring, i.e. dye bases containing indolinyl, indoleninyl, and/or indolyl radicals. These materials include dye bases such as 2-methy1ene-3I (p-dimethylamino benzylidene) indoline 2-methylene-3 (p-diethylamino benzy1idene)- indoline 1-methyl-2-methylene-3 (p-dirnethylamino benzylidene) indoline 2-methylene-3-[ (p-dimethylamino phenyl) 2-methyl-3 (p-dirnethylamino phenyl) (2-methyl- 3'-indolyl)methylene]indolenine Ny CH 2-methylene-3- ['y- (p-dimethylamino phenyl) allylidene]-5-methoury indoline CHaO- 2-[ -(p-dimethy1amino phenyl) allylidene1- 3-methyl indolenine CH: \N =CHCH=CHN( Hs)z bis- ['(3-mcthy1-2-indolyl) (p dimethylamino phenyl) methane CH3 \H C ah D N H 2 2-[ (p-dimethylamino phenyl) 3-methyl-2-indolyl) methylene]-3-methyl indolenine CH3 OHsl N N and 2- [4-(p-dirnethylamino phenyl)-1,3-butadienyl1- 3-(p-dimethylamino benzylidene) indolcnine [CHQNWHM \N oH=oH-oH=oH-N om In the light-sensitive compositions according to the invention, dye bases of the type described above are employed in combination with light-sensitive free radical generating organic halogen compounds known in the prior art and having the formula RCX wherein R is a monovalent radical which may be hydrogen, chlorine, bromine, iodine, alkyl, haloalkyl, aryl, aroyl, or aralkyl, wherein each X is chlorine, bromine, or iodine, and wherein not all of the Xs need be the same. A variety of compounds falling within this category is disclosed in patents such as US. Pats. 3,100,703; 3,102,810; and 3,109,736. The compounds include CC1 CBr CHCl CHBr CHI CBI'CI3, C Cl CQBI'G, C HBr C5H5CBI'3, and Of these materials, carbon tetrabromide has proved of particular utility since it can be easily incorporated into light-sensitive films or coatings and gives sensitive systems in combinaton wth the indomethylene dye bases. Although the organic halogen compounds just disclosed can be com bined alone with dye bases to produce light-sensitive compositions useful according to the present invention, it has proved desirable to include certain colorless non-toxic organic sulfur compounds such as those taught in US. Patent 3,285,944 in the compositions. These additives function as accelerators, stabilizers, and color intensifiers. The sulfur compounds include: disulfides and hydrosulfides of the formula RSSR and RSH wherein R is the heterocyclic nucleus of a type common in cyanine chemistry; disulfides of the formula R s s R Bali S S t t s where R is H, lower alkyl, or aryl; sulfides having sulfide sulfur attached to a carbon atom in a. heterocyclic ring in which the same carbon atom is attached to two atoms other than carbon; thiourea; and acyclic thioacetanilides. These activators include heterocyclic mercaptans such as 2-quin0line, 4-quinoline, Z-pyridine, 4-pyridine, imidazole, benzimidazole, thiazole, benzothiazole, ;8-naphthothiazole, oxazole, benzoxazole, fl-naphthoxazole, selen; azole, benzoselenazole, thiazoline, rhodanine, tetrazole, etc. A preferred material is 2-mercapto benzothiazole. The light-sensitive compositions of the present invention may be imbibed directly into absorbent films or may be coated onto an appropriate substrate, usually in the presence of a suitable binder. Thus, the compositions of the present invention, dissolved in a non-polar solvent such as benzene, may be imbibed directly into Mylar polyester films having an absorptive coating of cellulose acetate-butyrate thereon. Alternatively, the light-sensitive materials can be formulated into a coating composition with a solvent and a film-forming binder material such as polystyrene or polyvinyl chloride and then used to coat a substrate material such as paper, wood, metal, glass or plastic. In coatings prepared in this fashion, the dye base, the organic halogen compound, and the sulfurous accelerator (if present) are usually employed in amounts such that the dye base is present in an amount from 0.001 to 1.0 part by weight, the free radical generating organic halogen compound is present in an amount of 0.1 to 10.0 parts by weight, and the accelerator is present in an amount of from 0.001 to 1.0 part by Weight, each per part by weight of film-forming binder within the resultant sensitized coating. Variation of the proportions within the ranges indicated would depend on the sensitivity sought in the coating, the intensity of the color desired in the final print, the intensity of the light source used for exposure, and the combination of dye base and free-radical generator employed in a particular case, all of which is evident to and within the knowledge of one skilled in the photographic arts. When a film or sheet sensitized with a composition of the type described is exposed to imaging light, a monochromatic negative image will be formed substantially instantaneously within the film or sheet. Thus, a sensitized film or sheet can be used to produce monochromatic positive prints from negative images on exposure. To produce a monochromatic positive from a positive image according to the present invention, a light-sensitized film or sheet according to the present invention is exposed to the positive image and unreacted composition is next transferred from the film or sheet to a transfer sheet by bringing the transfer sheet and exposed light-sensitized sheet into contact in the presence of an agent preferentially dissolving unreacted materials. As pointed out earlier herein, the dye bases and freeradical generating materials contemplated in the present invention are preferentially soluble in non-polar solvents such as benzene, toluene, xylene, and other liquid aromatic hydrocarbons, in aliphatic hydrocarbons such as n-hexane, n-heptane, and petroleum spirits, in cycloaliphatic hydrocarbons such as cyclopentane and cyclohexane, and in heterocyclic materials such as dioxane and the like. The dyes formed when the indomethylene dye bases react on exposure to light in the presence of a freeradical generator are, in contrast to the dye bases, salts or salt-like materials difiicultly soluble in the non-polar substances just described. Hence, these non-polar solvents are suitable agents for the preferential transfer of unreacted light-sensitive composition to a transfer sheet with out transfer of the salt-like dye products formed on exposure to light. The solvents can be used alone, in admixture with one another, or combined with smaller amounts of other more polar materials such as acetone. As discussed earlier herein, because the indomethylene dye bases of the present invention are highly soluble in non-polar solvents and particularly because the salt-like dyes formed from them on exposure to light are very difficultly soluble therein, a preferential transfer of unreacted materials from a transfer sheet can be more cleanly accomplished using the present invention than the dye bases commonly used in prior art light-sensitive systems. If transfer processes are employed, the transfer sheet need not be saturated with a transfer agent in order to effect transfer of unreacted dye base. Indeed, the mere moistening of the interface between the transfer sheet and exposed sheet, generally accomplished by moistening the surface of the transfer sheet, is usually sufficient to transfer unreacted light-sensitive composition to the transfer sheet. After transfer of unreacted light-sensitive compositions to the transfer sheet, a colored image can be formed in the transfer sheet by exposure of the transfer sheet to light. Exposure to light may be effected by a separate exposure station in apparatus for practicing the photocopy process, for example, or the image may be developed simply by exposure to sunlight or room light without a further deliberate exposure step. In view of the photosensitivity of the compositions, exposure to room light or sunlight produces a positive image in the transfer sheet after only a short period of time. Alternatively, an acid mordant chemically converting the dye base to its corresponding colored dye may be incorporated in the transfer sheet so that color is formed on contact. By exposure of three compositions respectively forming yellow, magenta, and cyan dye images to a color positive through, respectively blue, green, and red filters, with transfer of unreacted material in each case to a transfer sheet, in register, a three-layer full color positive copy of the original positive color image can be produced. Positive color copies can also be prepared from color separation positives using a process which has special utility for making color proofs in lithographic color printing processes. In this technique, a red color separation positive is used for direct print-out of a cyan image; a green positive is printed in magenta; and a blue separation positive is used to prepare a yellow print-out image. Transfer of unreacted color-formers from these three prints to a transfer sheet, in register, and development of color in situ by exposure to light or by chemical reaction will reproduce the full-color image from which the color separation positives are made. As mentioned above, the technique can be used to proof the color separation positives made in film in the lithographic color printing of half-tones prior to using the separation positives for preparing expensive metal printing plates. If desired, a four-color proof can be prepared using an additional black printer to improve blacks in the proof print. Full color prints can be produced by a direct positive process utilizing a multi-layer copy medium like that shown in FIG. 1 of the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 shows an imaging medium comprising support layer 11, which may be of paper, glass, plastic, or the like. Deposited on support layer 11 is layer 12, sensitive to red light and comprising a dye base/ free radical system which on exposure to red light will form a cyan dye in the layer. The dye base may be an indomethylene dye base according to the present invention or some other free-radical reactive dye base like the prior art cyanine, merocyanine, or styryl compounds. Since the red-sensitive layer is, if not protected, also sensitive to green and blue-light, red filter layer 13 is present to screen out Wavelengths shorter than red. Green sensitive layer 14 comprises a photosensitive dye base/free radical system forming a magenta dye on exposure. Again, the composition is protected from wavelengths shorter than green by overlying yellow filter layer 15. Top layer 16 is blue-sensitive and comprises a dye base/ free radical system forming a yellow dye on exposure. The multi-layer medium is exposed to a color image using white light, forming a negative dye image in the medium. Unreacted color-forming composition from all three layers is then transferred to a transfer sheet suitably moistened with a solvent preferentially solubilizing the unreacted material. Exposure of the transfer sheet to light provokes color formation and positive reproduction 7 of the original positive color image or, alternatively, a mordant is present on the transfer sheet and reacts with the dye base to form colored dye (laking). The use of a mordant (which is generally an organic or inorganic acid) not only obviates the need for a second exposure step, but has the additional advantage that the chemical reaction between the dye base and mordant on contact assures a more complete transfer of dye-forming material out of the imaging medium and into the transfer sheet. If no mordant is present, the amount of material transferred to the transfer sheet on contact depends primarily on diffusion equilibria. The processes just described all involve transfer of unreacted dye base and free radical generating halogen compound from a light-sensitive sheet to a transfer sheet, with subsequent color-forming reactions taking place on the transfer sheet to reverse the image. However, the reacted dye, rather than unreacted color-forming composition, can instead be transferred from an exposed sheet to a transfer sheet for reproduction of the dye image or, in certain cases, for the formation of multi-layer full color prints. As pointed out earlier herein, the dyes formed on reaction of the novel indomethylene dye bases with a free radical generating organic halogen compound are preferentially soluble in polar solvents, and solvents of this type can be used to transfer the dye image after unreacted material has been removed, for instance by rinsing in a non-polar solvent. Such transfer processes can be used to reproduce the dye image, with multiple copies being made until the suply of dye on the original exposed sheet is depleted. Alternatively, three supported lightsensitive compositions producing yellow, magenta, and cyan images respectively may be exposed to a color image through blue, green, and red filters respectively. The dye image formed in each case can be then transferred, in register, to a transfer sheet to produce a color print, i.e. a positive print from a color negative. The salt-like dye materials formed on exposure of lightsensitive compositions containing indomethylene dye bases to light are quite soluble in polar materials such as alcohols and ketones. Accordingly, the last-mentioned solvents, particularly the lower aliphatic alcohols, are particularly useful as transfer agents in transferring the dye image from a monochrome print to a transfer sheet. Again, the transfer sheet need not be saturated with transfer agent, and moistening of the interface between the transfer sheet and the dye image is sufiicient. FIG. 2 of the accompanying drawings shows still anvother imaging medium according to the invention in which a monochromatic direct positive copy can be produced without transfer processes. The medium comprises transparent or translucent support 21, such as of paper, glass, or plastic, on which is found photosensitive layer 22 comprising a dye base/free radical system, for example employing an indomethylene dye base of the present invention or one of the cyanine, merocyanine, or styryl dye bases known in the prior art. Top layer 23 comprises a finely-divided pigment in a solvent-permeable binder. For the preparation of blackand-white positive prints, layer 23 suitably comprises a white pigment such as CaCO BaSO ZnO, or TiO and layer 22 includes a composition which generates a black dye on exposure to light. 'FIGS. 3 and 4 show exposure of the medium of FIG. 2 ,to produce a positive print. In FIG. 3, photosensitive dye base diffusing from layer 22. In either case a positive dye image is formed on the pigmented background of layer 23.

Example 13.Pho tosensitive compositions were prepared from the indomethylene dye bases of the preceding examples. Typically, 100 mgm. of the dye base were dissolved in a mixture of 4 cc. of acetone or methylene dichloride and 4 cc. of 10 percent polystyrene in benzene. After the dye base was in solution, 1400 mg. of CBr were dissolved therein. This mixture was coated on unsubbed Mylar film to form a coating having a wet thickness of 0.003 inch. The coating was permitted to air-dry for thirty minutes. Thereafter, the coating was exposed either to a photoflood lam-p through a resolution target or on an Eastman Kodak sensitometer with a suitable filter. When the coating was exposed to a 500 watt photoflood lamp through a resolution target, the exposure was for a Sixty second interval at a distance of 12 inches from the lamp to the test material. When the coating was exposed on the Eastman Kodak 101 sensitometer, the light was converted by the use of a 78 AA filter to equal mean noonday light. Portions of the step tablet were covered with a 58 and a 29 filter to test for green and red sensitivity. The exposure on the sensitometer was for an interval of 60 minutes unless otherwise specified. In each case, the resulting images were fixed by rinsing three times, each time fora period of seconds, in a mixture of 1 part by volume of acetone and 4 parts of petroleurn ether, which removes unreacted material from the print. (Higher boiling solvents such as n-heptane and ligroin were also used in place of petroleum ether, but'the acetone-petroleum ether mixture was the most efficient for removing unreacted materials without blurring of the dye image.) The density of the resulting dye image was read on a Macbeth diffuse transmission red-sensitive films comprising photosensitive dye base/ free radical systems therein to white light through a color positive and appropriate filters. Unreacted colorforming material was transferred from each negative to a mordanted receptor sheet employing an oily solvent mixture as the transfer agent. The three transfers in register produced a three color positive image by laking of the mordant and color former to produce color in the transfer sheet. -, with a Wratten 2B (ultraviolet absorbing) and a 58 (green) filter to give a magenta negative. A viscous solvent mixture comprising 1 part of acetone, 1 part of toluene, and 2 parts of mineral oil was applied to the top edge of a mordanted receptor sheet. Unreacted color-former was then transferred from the magenta'negative to the receptor sheet by rolling them into contact so that the viscous transfer agent was spread between the surfaces. A magenta positive was obtained in the receptor sheet. Transfer time was 15 seconds. A blue-sensitive film was prepared by coating Mylar as before with the following composition: I 2-(p diethylarnino phenyl) 5,6 dimethoxy-benzothiazole'50 mgm. Z-mercapto-benzothiazole--25 mgm. carbon tetrabromide700 mgm. acetone-2 cc. polystyrene in benzene)2 cc. The film was exposed to a photoflood lamp through the same color positive using a 2B filter to produce a yellow negative. Unreacted color-former was transferred in register to the mordanted receptor sheet as before. Transfer time was seconds. The print now had a yellow positive overprint atop the earlier magenta. A red-sensitive cyan printer film was prepared as before using the following composition: 1-methyl-2-methylene-3-[7 (p dimethylamino phenyl) allylidene] indoline-50 mgm. carbon tetrabromide700 mgm. acetone-2 cc. polystyrene (10% in benzene)-2 cc. The film was exposed to a photoflood lamp for 12 minutes through the color positive and a 2B and 29 (red) filter to give a cyan negative. Unreacted color former was transferred to the receptor sheet in register to give a three color positive with a density range of 0.12 to 1.25. The mordanted receptor sheet is prepared by coating a support such as subbed triacetate or single weight baryta paper, with a soluiton of an organic or inorganic acid and a suitable carrier. For the print described above, cellulose triacetate was coated using a 0.0015 Bird applicator with the following solution: 4,4'-biphenyl disulfonic acid0.5 gm. methanol-25 cc. acetone-2S cc. polyvinyl butyral6 gm. Coatings including other mordants forming colored lakes with dye bases of the type described can be formulated using p-nitro-phenoxyacetic acid or phosphomolybdic acid, for example. Example 15.-A multi-layered copy medium was prepared by coating a support such as of subbed cellulose triacetate with a first photosensitive layer comprising an indomethylene dye base in combination with an organic halogen compound generating free radicals on exposure to light. Specifically, a solution was prepared comprising 0.025-0.10 gram of 1-methyl-2-methylene-3['y-(p-dimethylamino phenyl) allylidene] indoline, CH N in 4 ml. of acetone (or methylene chloride) mixed with 4 ml. of a 10 percent solution of polystyrene in benzene. 1.4 grams of carbon tetrabromide were then dissolved in the mixture. Finally, from 0.1 percent to about 1 percent, by weight of the indomethylene dye base, of a dye sensitizing the composition to red light was added. Specifically, this dye was The composition was coated on the substrate to a 0.003" wet thickness, then dried for minutes at room temperature in the dark. - styrene solution of the type earlier described having car- 14 A red resinous filter layer containing the red azo dye CH3 CH HO was next applied over the red sensitive layer by cast coating techniques involving precasting of the red filter layer in a condition sufliciently tacky to be capable of forming bonds with other layers contacted therewith. The filter layer is precast onto a temporary backing such as a conventional release paper, dried to a tacky condition and then rolled into contact with the red sensitive layer for lamination therewith. A green-sensitive layer is then applied over the red filter *layer, suitably by cast coating techniques. The green-sensitive layer, which contains an indomethylene dye base forming magenta dye on exposure to light, is prepared from a combination of acetone or methylene chloride with a polystyrene solution of benzene and includes carbon tetrabromide, as for the red-sensitive layer. The indomethylene dye base is Finally, the layer contains a dye sensitizing it to green light, which dye has the following structure: A yellow filter layer having a polystyrene base is next cast coated on top the green sensitive layer. The yellow dye of this filter layer has the structure CH3 CH Finally, a blue sensitive layer prepared from a polybon tetrabromide therein is prepared using an aromatic amine dye base of the structure: A full color positive print is made by exposing the abovedescribed copy medium for from 1 to 2 minutes to a suitable source of white light through the image to be capied. A mordanted receptor sheet is moistened with a non-polar solvent such as a mixture of 1 part of ethyl acetate with 4 parts of n-heptane and is then contacted with the exposed copy medium for a time sufficient to transfer unexposed, unreacted, dye bases to the receptor sheet where they react with the mordant to form dyes reproducing the original image. If the receptor sheet does not contain a mordant of the type earlier described herein, the receptor sheet is suitably exposed to a source of white light after transfer of unreacted color-formers thereto, whereupon a full color print is reproduced in the receptorsheet. Example 16.A copy medium for preparing direct print-out black-and-White prints wasprepared by coating one side of a transparent cellulose acetate supporting film with a photosensitive composition containing the following materials, and then drying the coating at room temperature: 2 ['y- (p-dimethylaminophenyl) allylidene] -3-methyl indolenine-50 mgm. carbon tetrabromide700 mgm. acetone-2 cc. polystyrene (10% in benzene)--2 cc. This layer was then overcoated with a pigmented organic solvent-permeable film laid down from a suspension of 5 grams of finely divided Ti (0.3-0.4 micron) in 10 cc. of a 15 percent solution of hydroxypropyl cellulose. After the overcoating layer was dry, the photosensitive layer was exposed to imaging light through the transparent tri-acetate base to form a negative image in the former. The pigmented overcoating layer of the copy medium was next moistened with a solvent mixture comprising 20 parts by volume of toluene and parts by volume of acetone, causing unexposed photosensitive composition to i enter the pigmented layer from the underlying coating. The pigment layer was next exposed to light whereupon the photosensitive composition now present in the layer darkened to produce a positive copy of the original image comprising black dye on a background of the white pigment layer. Other styryl, cyanine, merocyanine, or indomethylene dye bases, in combination with other organic halogen compounds, may be substituted for the black-printing indolenine dye base and carbon tetrabromide of this example, and other pigments (including non-white pigments) can be employed in the pigmented layer, to produce prints in color combinations other than black-and-white. Other binders, e.g. hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, which are permeable to non-polar solvents but are not dissolved by them, can be used in compounding the pigmented layer. To obviate the second exposure step described above, an acid mordant such as those mentioned in Example 14 above can be incorporated in the pigment layer. When unreacted dye base is brought into the pigment layer by the action of solvent, it reacts with the mordant to form visible color. The multi-layer medium of Example 15 can be modified in structure to permit making full color prints without transfer by incorporating a pigment layer therein. Because exposure of such a medium is through the support, a transparent support must be used and the layers of Example 15 would be deposited in reverse order, i.e. with the blue-sensitive layer closest to the support and the red-sensitive layer farthest. The pigment layer is then deposited on the red-sensitive layer. What is claimed is: 1. A light sensitive composition for producing direct print-out photographic images which comprises a free radical generating organic halogen compound and an indomethylene dye base of the formula wherein n is an integer from 0 to 2, R and R are each lower alkyl, and K is selected from the group consisting of 16 wherein R is lower alkyl and R is H or 3-lower alkyl- Z-indolyl; wherein A and Z are each 3-lower alkyl-2-indolyl; and wherein R is lower alkyl or R is hydrogen, 2-lower alkyl-3-indolyl, or and where n, R and R have their earlier meaning 2.

Wall Street Pioneer Leaves $100K to Her Chihuahua 'Monster Girl'
the daily dishA Wall Street pioneer who died last month bequeathed $100,000 to be used for the care of Monster Girl, her pet Chihuahua, according to CNBC.
Muriel Siebert, aka "The First Woman of Finance," was the first woman to hold a seat on the New York Stock Exchange. Aside from being known as a financial trailblazer and a philanthropist, Siebert also was an animal lover. Siebert's will directed that $100,000 be given to a friend of hers specifically for Monster Girl's care.
Janet Bradley, Siebert's housekeeper, said that Siebert was very close to Monster Girl, and that the dog was "her heart."
Other portions of Siebert's money was left to family and friends, although most will go to her own foundation, which benefits "the furtherance of education in personal financial literacy and the humane support of animals," especially animals "owned by the elderly who are financially challenged."
Siebert also left $10,000 to the Animal Medical Center in Manhattan.

If you love your pet (s) and is responsible it costs money. You obviously have never had a sick pet that needed to see the vet repeatedly and needed medications.

Some idea that I had a time ago... All those characters are from RPG Maker 2000 RTP (Runtime Package). The idea was to create somekind of poster, using the (almost) same characteristics of them and the same default colors.
78 colors.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Good job with the characters all have a range of well defined detail and look more work but has much potential, can become something better.

dude, i recognize all of them, this is fucking sweet! i used to make games using rm2k all the time, but i only ever finished one. :P this is a really awesome pixel fanart, definitely adding it to my favs.

Did this video help you?
J. William Hunt: I don't know whether to thank you or curse you. I'll thank you for the
information and the tips but curse you for what I actually found while
cleaning our million year old dish washer.....I can not believe we were
washing our dishes in that flotsam and jetsam!!!
Seriously, thank you. David Regal: thanks for the video it helped us. God: This video just saved my life. Thanks so much. Glenn Poremba: What a great video, exactly what I needed to know, Frigidaire owner manual is useless thanks Glenn Denise Keithler: Great info. I'd done this before, but forgot how to do it. Now, to find out how to clean my washing machine filter! lol Amber Paris: Cleaned mine now it want go back together Angela B: Thank you! I followed your directions and it was disgusting and filthy! What a difference! =) Wendy D.: This worked great while I was taking OUT the filter and parts.....however, it now won't LOCK BACK IN place and I've watched the video so many times to make sure I was doing it just right....turn counter clock wise a quarter turn etc. Dagan Haddad: Awesome thanks - found a dog in mine! ToolGirl616: Just so everyone else knows, my tab was very hard to pull out. I took something to gently pry it and pull at the same time, being careful not to break anything. There is a little hook in my model on the fitting that keeps the basket in. When I finally got it out I found there was a boat load of mineral build up and I think it made it much harder for me to get the basket out. Once I go it out I scrubbed up the build up with a toothbrush in the dishwasher and let it soak with white vinegar and water solution to help break up the rest of the mineral build up. relaxinblack: SUPER THANK YOU!! Elizabeth Moreno: Question: When I took out my filter to clean it, the coarser inner filter detached from the finer mesh large filter. Now, when I put everything back together in the dishwasher, the large fine mesh outer filter doesn't seat a flat as it used to. I'm concerned my lower spray arm won't move smoothly over the filter. Any suggestions for a better re-assembly? Thanks for a most helpful video. Stefani Meek: thank you! Attila A: Thank you! Alexa Carone: awesome thank you ToolGirl616: Mine was so built up with hard water mineral deposits, just gross! This helped me with getting it apart the filter (never knew, thank God I know now lol), thank you for the video! Debra Sassaman: Thank You Steve ! I was stuck and now I'm not. Nancyb178: Thanks! brandon bedard: wat do u do if it did nothing Marissa Klotz: This was just what I needed. YUCK. Can't wait to see the sparkly dishes come out. Thank you! d Brandow: Thanks Steve, you made that just a piece of cake for me!!! My husband doesn't do this type of work around the house, so I am thankful for your uTube!! badbn405: So when I started, there was no water in the bottom of the dishwasher, now it's full! How did that happen? Josh G.: Great video, pretty disgusting in there lady3bglover: Steve thanks for the 101 on DW drain cleaning. I followed your instructions and I'm still getting a gritty feeling on my dishes. Any advise? Linda Bolt: Thank you! This was exactly what I needed to know in order to clean out the dishwasher in the house we bought. Mine was more full of gunk than the one in the video! Michael Siebel: Thanks! s burton: nice explanation, I will give that a try. Renee Dreik: Hello, thank you very much for this video, I tried to take off the tab, but unfortunately, it wasn't able to, can u please tell me what to do, Thanks Alexaklr: Thanks so much.

I knew the filter was dirty but the owners manual was no help in figuring out how to clean it. Thank you! lavirden: thanks so much, been trying to figure this out for years, oh my what I found down there, uck B Sharif: OMG!!!! THANK YOU! Dishes had been coming out dirty for weeks, and I was JUST about to blame the city water supply, and then wondered if maybe I was supposed to clean the dishwasher. Once in a WHILE. This was INCREDIBLY easy and I would NEVER have had any idea about this if not for your instruction! And that filter was CLOGGED...!!! Thank you! asdf: thanks contractor08831: Thanks for this info, dishwasher was making a screaming noise. Found filter very clogged and cleaned it out. Now it is as quiet as new, Valerie Bourbour: Thanks! This has been driving me crazy. Who would have thought it was so easy? Emily Berry: I was always intimidated by the bottom of my dishwasher until I watched this video! Thank you for showing me how easy this is to clean! NorthernHorrorStory: thanks for making the video , this things a real piece of crap.. Mandyman00: This was the best repair video I have ever seen, the manual is totally useless. Thanks very much kingsharmony: awesome. didn't think it's just that easy to clean. ours hasn't clean for like 6 years. believe me nobody in this world wanted to see what i saw that's trap in the filter. Channel5: Nicely done - thank you! One added comment: we found the mesh screen clogged with lime buildup so we carefully squirted some lime remover solution all around the mesh,rubbed around a bit with tip of sponge, and rinsed. All clear now. William Leady: Thanks!!! ptmymnky: Thanks! just what I needed richard hotz: Thanks so much- can't wait to have clean dishes again- Monique Debrofsky: Super helpful!! I was trying and couldn't figure out how to remove the fitting on my own.Thank you! David Emanuelson: I had a lot of calcium build up so it took a bit a force to get it out (after ten years). I was astonished at how bad the filter was clogged. Soaked parts in CLR, lightly scraped parts, washed in vinegar, and presto. Also ran short cycle with CLR afterwards. Fred Frederickson: Really appreciate the information! Solved our problems. Thanks for taking the time to post this!! |

Just for those who were asking about a. Model 700, the first 4-wheel garden tractor built by Simplicity.... Dave Christensen provided these photos of one that he rebuilt the engine for, until he can provide photos of the Model 700 he is personally restoring.
Note that Simplicity initially called this a Model 700 Wonderboy, then dropped the Wonderboy name (perhaps to avoid confusion with the Wonderboy line of rear-engine riding mowers) when they increased the horsepower from 7HP to 7.25HP -- then it became called the Model 725....
"These are not mine but I rebuilt the engine for these guys. They are from Middletown too! Please read below!" dlc

US Lawmakers to Vote on Republican Debt Plan July 28, 2011
A Republican plan to resolve the U.S. debt crisis faces a vote in Congress Thursday, with less than a week to go before the nation runs out of money to pay its bills.
Democratic Senator Charles Schumer Lawmakers in the Republican-controlled House of Representatives are voting on a measure put forward by House Speaker John Boehner that would raise the nation's $14.3 trillion borrowing limit in exchange for billions of dollars in spending cuts. Veto threat President Barack Obama has threatened to veto the legislation. It has also drawn opposition from the president's Democratic allies in the Senate, as well as Republicans who are part of the ultra-conservative Tea Party movement. On Wednesday, Boehner issued a blunt call to action to Republican lawmakers to get behind the plan.
Reid plan President Obama supports a competing plan being pushed by the Senate majority leader, Democrat Harry Reid, that involves a larger increase in the debt ceiling. Without legislation in place by the August 2 deadline, the U.S. could default on some of its obligations. The U.S. Treasury Department, the central bank and the White House have all warned that a default would have catastrophic consequences on the economy. Economists have said a default would also have a very negative effect on the global economy. Plan comparison Boehner's proposal is a two-step plan that would immediately raise the borrowing limit by $900 billion and possibly include a further increase next year, while cutting spending by more than $900 billion over 10 years. Reid's plan calls for a $2.7 trillion increase in the debt ceiling. That would give the government enough money to cover its bills through 2012, and put off another debt ceiling debate until after the presidential and congressional elections 16 months from now. Reid called the Republican plan "a short-term fix" that cannot pass the Democratic-controlled Senate. On Wednesday, some Republican lawmakers tried to rework the Boehner plan, after non-partisan congressional analysts said it would fall short on promised spending cuts. Tea party factor Some members of the Tea Party faction vowed to vote against the Boehner plan, or any proposal that would raise the debt ceiling. Senator Reid's proposal has also faced scrutiny. The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office says the plan overstates savings by half a trillion dollars. Some Republicans argue the promised spending cuts in Reid's proposal are not realistic. Reid says Republicans should embrace his plan because it is a compromise that incorporates many spending cuts Republicans have supported, and does not include tax increases they strongly oppose. Will US default? White House Chief of Staff William Daley says he is confident the United States will not default on its debt. He told television interviewers there are a lot of debt reduction plans on the table, and everyone is stressed as the August 2 deadline approaches. But he said, in the end, Congress will do what is right. Uncertainty caused by the bitter partisan debate and the lack of apparent progress toward a compromise have worried investors. That is why many stock markets have declined, and the value of "safe-haven" investments like gold and the Swiss Franc have hit record highs against the U.S. dollar.

It's spring time and that means it's time for the Easter Edition of the Safe Snack Guide!
We've added a full page of Easter-themed goodies free of peanuts, tree nuts, and (in many cases) eggs. Some can be purchased at the corner market, others can be ordered on-line.
Once again, apologies to our readers who celebrate Passover. We are still searching for safe products that are nut-free and certified kosher for the holiday. If you know of any such products, please let us know.
Please note that we have removed two products from the Safe Snack Guide due to a disclosure from the manufacturer.
After a discussion with Lisa Guzzo, Consumer Relations Manager of Just Born Quality Confections, we have decided to delist MIKE AND IKE® and HOT TAMALES® from the Guide.
While these iconic products are manufactured in a facility that does not process peanuts or tree nuts, a small portion of their products are packaged by third-parties that may use equipment that is also used for products containing these allergens. Although the firm's labeling policy includes voluntarily labeling for potential cross contamination of the "Top 8″ allergens, we have decided to remove their products from the Guide in keeping with our policies. Consumers should address questions or concerns regarding Just Born brands by calling them toll free at 1-888-645-3453 or visiting them online at www.justborn.com.
On February 23rd at this year's annual meeting of the American Academy of Allergy Asthma and Immunology (AAAAI) in Houston, a study was presented regarding incidence of anaphylaxis in schools during the 2013-2014 school year, confirming the need for stock epinephrine.
Of 5683 schools that responded to the study survey, a total of 919 anaphylactic events were reported by 11% of the schools. Here's a quick breakdown:
We're pleased to announce the addition of two new members to our Manufacturer Partnership Program whose products now appear in the Safe Snack Guide as well as Allergence:
- Nana Creme – Nana Creme is a Vegan, non-GMO, and Allergen-Friendly Non-Dairy Frozen Dessert ("ice cream"), free of Gluten, Dairy, Nuts, Tree Nuts, Soy, and Eggs and made with REAL ingredients.
- JTM Foods – Founded in 1986, JTM Foods is the largest producer of snack pies in North America, selling over 100 million pies each year. Sold under the JJ's Bakery brand name, their pies use fresh dough and real fruit fillings made from scratch every day in their Erie PA bakery.
Congratulations to the people of New Jersey with the signing of A304/S801 – NJ's stock epinephrine bill – into law by Governor Chris Christie.
Epinephrine is the only drug used to treat anaphylaxis, a life threatening allergic reaction. "Stock" refers to epinephrine that is not specifically prescribed to an individual but can be used on anyone that is displaying symptoms of anaphylaxis.
We're happy to announce that we've added a conversation heart product to the Valentine's Day 2015 Edition of the Safe Snack Guide.
Smarties Love Hearts are marketed free of peanuts, tree nuts, eggs, milk, wheat, and soy by their manufacturer, providing a readily available option to families coping with these food allergies. [NOTE: We earlier made the assertion that these were corn-free which was NOT correct. Our sincere apologies.]
Special thanks to our readers Sarah Albert and Elizabeth Arras for taking the time to suggest this product!
The Valentine's Day 2015 Edition of the Safe Snack Guide has arrived with an entire section devoted to goodies for that special someone with a peanut, tree nut or egg allergy. It's also a great resource if you are planning a classroom celebration where children with food allergies will be present. (As always, we stress that the parents should always be the final arbiters of any food given to a child with food allergies!)
UPDATE: Thanks to our readers Sarah Albert and Elizabeth Arras, we've added Smarties Love Hearts – a conversation heart product marketed as safe for peanut, tree nut and egg allergies – to this edition of the Safe Snack Guide.
