The Killing of a Chinese Bookie
1976 Directed by John Cassavetes
A proud strip club owner is forced to come to terms with himself as a man, when his gambling addiction gets him in hot water with the mob, who offer him only one alternative.

Road House's super baddie Ben Gazzara as a strip club owner with a gambling addiction. When his debt blazes out of control, he's forced to commit a deadly sin in John Cassavetes's sweaty lusty intoxicating film noir. Large ketchup bottle. Stiff drink. Ben Gazzara's white leisure suit. Meaningful meaningless chit-chat. The way Ben Gazzara smokes. Vince's nose. Big pimpin' Seymour Cassel. Bootleg Strip Club DJ. Champagne hottie. Real motherfuckers drink Dom Pérignon straight from the bottle. Pitch-perfect piano music. John Cassavetes's directing skills blow me away. The way his lens captures everyday life and raw human emotion is straight money. Sexy as fuck striptease. Runaway tits. Poetic poetry. Shaggy doggie. The Shining Poster Playboy Playmate. Seymour Cassel wasn't born old?…
Ben Gazzara's performance here is one of those that so captures an actor's essence that it would be pointless to think about anyone else in the role. Beyond all the Cassavetes grace notes-- the dingy texture of the nightclub, the evident affection for his cast of outcasts and rogues, the dread-inducing inevitability of the title-- there's Gazzara, a wannabe big-shot who lacks the means, the common sense, and the luck to lead the kind of life he feels he deserves. His gregariousness becomes tragic.
Watched the '78 re-edit, for two reasons: (1) from what I can determine, Cassavetes felt rushed in 1976 and wound up releasing the film in a form that was essentially unfinished, and (2) my beef with most of his work boils down to "overlong and undisciplined," so the shorter version seemed like it would constitute the fairer shake. Now, however, after quite enjoying Chinese Bookie at 108 minutes, I find myself thinking it would work even better at 135, with the burlesque material intact (even though more of Mr. Sophistication might be painful to endure). The movie's superb ending, which reveals the extent to which Cosmo perceives his business as his calling and his performers as his family (and…
Viewed 108 minute cut
The Killing of a Chinese Bookie is Film-noir at its most shadowy and anti-climatic, favoring the quiet anticipation within the darkness and sparkling city lights instead of blazing dialogue moments and conventional techniques. Ben Gazzara is a magnetic presence, and he grounds the film in a way that prevents the story from crumbling under the weight of Cassavetes' prominent interest in unorthodox styling.
The Killing of a Chinese Bookie feels like another example of a performer gluing a story together from previous remnants, and while I admire the craft, it's another example of a Cassavetes film leaving me lukewarm.
You'll never guess what happens to the Chinese bookie.
It's been a long time since a film has instantly pushed to near the top of my favorite movies of all time. The Killing of a Chinese Bookie is one of those occasions.
Cassavetes is a master of eliciting emotions through the most simple of verite style. Without broad sweeps of orchestration or tacky explanations, we truly see the troubled psyche of Cosmo Vittelli (played masterfully by Ben Gazzara) as he goes deeper and deeper down a self destructive rabbit hole in hopes of making something of himself.
I love how the strip club feels sad and dirty. I love the clown figure that works at the strip club (an ode to Sternberg's "The Blue Angel?). I love the realism…

In terms of J. Cass, this one ranks highly on my personal list.
#3 of 5 John Cassavetes films
Before seeing this one, I watched a behind the scene look of "Faces" made by a French crew. In it, Cassavetes bemoaned Hollywood for focusing on the business rather than the art side of filmmaking. That's why Cassavetes would make a studio movie (or act in one) in order to have money to make films like The Killing of a Chinese Bookie
This is a story about a man who, in order to reduce some debt, accepts to kill a Chinese (maybe Korean) bookie, who's in fact a very nefarious mobster
With a logline like that, I wouldn't fault you to think of this film as some kind of exciting crime thriller. In the…
a dingbat. a dingaling. a dingo. that's ben gazzara in this wacko film. cassavetes is too damn real and too good at depicting suppressed depression and human miscommunication. gahd damn
I'm having trouble pinpointing the stylistic characteristics of Cassavetes as a director. While Shadows was a cool film based around a premise of improvisational cinema, The Killing Of A Chinese Bookie is more in line with Jacques Rivette's blend of cinema verite both in look and execution.
While this film didn't impress me either I still believe that there's a lot of merit to Cassavetes filmography even if I've so far only enjoyed A Woman Under The Influence. Killing feels overly long and a lot of scenes are drawn out far too much for their own good, several being the films final scenes. Ben Gazzara does an alright job as the films lead but it isn't enough to swoon me…

An interesting mess. There's something curiously intriguing about applying his characteristic style to a genre film, but it does not go well. The performances are fantastic and the characters rich, but it is neither a fascinating noir, nor arresting drama. It is, largely, a bore.
From start to finish, The Killing of a Chinese Bookie filled me with a sickening sense of dread. A lot of this is to do with Ben Gazzara's performance. Gazzara plays a somewhat obnoxious character — a slimy, hammy suit-wearing club owner — but it's in his quieter moments — the expression on his face, the subtext he brings out from behind his lines — that he reveals truth and terror. Cassavetes complements this performance with stress-inducing, claustrophobic cinematography and rapid jumps from scene to scene (I watched the shorter '78 cut, not sure if this is apparent in the original version). The way characters interact with the dialogue flowing freely and creating the tone and shape of the film…
Why didn't I watch this earlier? It just instantly became one of my favorite films of all times.
Closing up, elliptical cuts when the scenes are achieving their climax (being realistic doesn't mean following reality), the colours of the night, Gazzara worthy of De Niro in "Taxi driver" (at least!), a lecture in body language when the gangsters are blackmailing Cosmo; gangsters and the Triads suck!: the italian guy is much better than them; one of the gangsters quoting Karl Marx (notice: correcting him, still exactly maintaining the very core of his theory!); the beauty of the girls out of any cliché or vulgarity, a strip club as the loving family you've never had, struggle for life never giving up a second; "my truth is your falsehood and viceversa". I'm not sure about what I saw, this movie left me quite (pleasently) disoriented.

'Addams Family Home Evening' hilarious show for audiences of all ages
Desert Star
"The Addams Family Home Evening," Desert Star Playhouse, Murray, through Aug. 25, $13.95-$9.95, desertstar.biz or 801-266-2600
MURRAY — Desert Star has done it again. In this case, "it" happens to be providing a fun show that combines music and comedy in a family-friendly environment that patrons of all ages are sure to enjoy.
"The Addams Family Home Evening" is set in present-day Utah County and follows two families from very different backgrounds. The plot follows the wealthy if somewhat sneaky Measley family, who is trying to buy all the land in the area in order to further their business interests.
The last remaining holdouts to sell their property, the Addams family are somewhat peculiar. In fact, they are more "creepy and they're kooky, mysterious and spooky," as the theme song for the 1964-1966 TV series that family members are loosely based on would describe them. Included in this family is the hilarious Uncle Cosmo, who is based on the classic "Seinfeld" character of Cosmo Kramer.
As the play moves on toward the finale, the plot changes to include a love story between Horace Measley and Dementia Addams, amid protests from both sets of parents and a crazy ex-girlfriend in this self-described "mash-up of monsters and Mormons."
After the play, the cast interacted with the audience, as is standard at Desert Star shows, singing "Happy Birthday to Y'all," due to the large number of people celebrating birthdays. Cast members also pointed out that summer is often a patriotic time of year, so military veterans were honored before moving into the ever popular olio portion of the show.
The Summer Fun Olio kicked off with a number of songs by the Beatles, as well as a lot of other popular rock 'n' roll songs, from yesterday and today. The audience seemed to love the olios almost as much as they did the actual play. The highlight was the hilarious guitar compilation performed by the men in the play.
The cast had such great chemistry that no one actor stood out more than the rest. The comedic timing and musicality were on par with other shows the theater regularly performs. It was truly a group effort that had the audience members laughing and enjoying themselves for the duration of the evening.
For those regular audience members who are familiar with Desert Star shows, "The Addams Family Home Evening" is everything they have come to expect from the place with the "Always Fun" slogan. For first-time visitors, this show might just get them hooked.

Barack Obama departed Saturday afternoon for his first trip to Vietnam and Japan. As a goodwill gesture, Vietnam's Communist government released a Catholic priest from prison, but the president agenda might press for the release of more political prisoners while making no mention of a new highly restrictive religion law being enacted in that country.
Obama will arrive in Hanoi on Sunday evening and later visit Ho Chi Minh City, spending three days in Vietnam before leaving for Japan, Asia's second-largest economy, to attend the G7 Summit in Ise-Shima.
Obama is the third U.S. president to visit the country since the Vietnam War ended 41 years ago. The president will also visit Hiroshima, and become the first president to visit the city. more >>
David Goodwin, the president of the Association of Classical Christian Schools, which is affiliated with over 250 evangelical schools throughout the U.S., believes that the Obama administration's directive could likely lead to an increase in private school populations that is similar to the increase seen when public schools were forced by the government to desegregate during the 1960s.
"In the circles of parents that I talk to, at this point, they are a little bit shell shocked. Things have moved pretty fast in the social policy side with the Obama administration and that fast movement has got a lot of parents back on their heels," Goodwin told The Christian Post Monday. "Probably the biggest infusion of kids into private schools was during desegregation during the '60s. This could very well match or exceed that in the next 10 years."

White House spokesman Josh Earnest has announced that he will officially change his name to "Josh Somewhat Sincere."
At the end of a tenuous press briefing centered on if aerial drones can bomb whatever country best fits their gender identity, Earnest made a quick announcement with intense passion as actor Jim Varney stood by his side.
"I can no longer lie to myself and call myself something that I am not nor would ever care to be," earnestly spoke Earnest in earnest next to Ernest who offered earnest moral support. more >>
No school has to allow transgender students in the bathrooms of the opposite sex, regardless of what President Obama says. That's according to Matt Sharp, legal counsel with the Alliance Defending Freedom or ADF.
Sharp said President Obama's sweeping directive telling schools they must allow transgender students to use the bathrooms of their choice "violates the clear meaning of Title IX. It also violates Congressional authority, and state authority on this issue. And, it violates students' rights to privacy."
Though the president is threatening to withhold federal funding from any school that does not comply with his directive, Sharp said the administration must win its case in court before it can pull funding. However, to date, the administration has lost every court case challenging its transgender directives, except one. more >>
Nearly half of IS-controlled territory in Iraq and Syria has been recaptured by allied forces, according to a Pentagon spokesman.
"The number right now in Iraq is about 45 percent of the territory they once held has been recovered. … The number in Syria is anywhere between 16 to 20 percent," said Peter Cook, press secretary for the Department of Defense, during a press briefing on Monday.
The percentages of territory lost is based off the amount of territory IS held in 2014, according to USA Today. more >>
In a letter sent to schools last week, President Obama explained that longtime bans on Creationism in public schools violated Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
Title VII specifically prohibits among other things employer discrimination on the basis of religion and demands that employers give proper accommodation for religious beliefs.
"While until five minutes ago no one considered Title VII applicable to teaching Creationism, we realize that laws are not set in stone and in fact need to develop — but definitely not evolve — with the times," read the letter. more >>

Miranda Lambert Opens Up About Life After Divorce
A lot has been said about Blake Shelton over the past few months concerning his divorce from Miranda Lambert, but news from the "Little Red Wagon" singer's camp has been few and far between.
A lot has been said about Blake Shelton over the past few months concerning his divorce from Miranda Lambert, but news from the "Little Red Wagon" singer's camp has been few and far between.
Country wardrobe malfunctions are rare, and the recoveries are first class. In this video of some of the most famous slips and splits you'll see that even when mistakes happen, the most famous women and men in the genre know how to react with dignity and class.
Fans who attended Ashley Monroe's headlining gig in Nashville on Friday night (Nov. 20) got more than their money's worth when Miranda Lambert joined her friend onstage for a special duet.
Miranda Lambert's unforgettable career has included five studio albums, eight Top 5 singles and thousands of memorable moments from her live show. We pick from all of those events, plus a few you may have forgotten about during this Unforgettable Miranda Lambert Moments video.
Miranda Lambert has gone pink! The singer showed off a new neon pink hair cut at the 2015 CMA Awards on Wednesday night.
Blake Shelton's divorce from Miranda Lambert is fair game during the 2015 CMA Awards monologue.
Taylor Swift definitely remembers where she came from. In fact, the pop superstar's 1989 Tour has found her sharing the stage with more country stars than probably ever before, and on Wednesday night (Oct. 21) in Greensboro, N.C., Miranda Lambert had the honor of showing off her 'backyard swagger' alongside Swift.
Country Music's Biggest Night is upon us, and the lineup of performances is growing appropriately jam-packed with the genre's biggest stars.
It's been a tough week for Miranda Lambert's new cat Curtis Loew, whom Lambert presumably named after a Lynyrd Skynyrd song. He just found out he's actually a she.
Things are looking up for Miranda Lambert. After splitting from ex-husband Blake Shelton in July, the country singer is moving forward with her life and career by celebrating a new milestone: receiving her own star on Nashville's Walk of Fame.

French terrorist shot dead in front of his family
London: A suspected Muslim terrorist in France has been shot dead by police in front of his pregnant wife and child, a media report said Sunday.
Jeremy Sidney, 33, was gunned down as armed officers swarmed into his house in Strasbourg, France.
He was a French national who spent time in prison for drug-taking and had only recently converted to Islam, the Sunday Express reported.
Seven others, including another gunman in Paris, were arrested during an anti-terrorist operation in the French capital, as well as Strasbourg, Cannes and Nice.
All were suspected of being involved in an attack on a Jewish shop in Paris last month in which one person was injured.
Sidney`s fingerprints and DNA were said to have been found on an explosive device used, according to the newspaper.
President Francois Hollande stressed "the full determination of the state to protect French people against all forms of terrorist threats".
The eight men were said to be linked to a Salafist group which is committed to waging a jihad, or holy war, in Europe, the Express added.

Britain braced for more economic gloom as growth forecasts shrink (but it appears George Osborne's waistline isn't doing the same)
- Chancellor says eurozone must accept 'a big loss of national sovereignty' to stabilise its finances
- Bank of England to slash growth prospects to just 1% this year, down from 1.5% just three months ago
- Added blow for Chancellor with youth unemployment expected to hit record-high
- £50billion fund from private investors to be spent on infrastructure
The economic forecasts are gloomy and the threat of a double-dip recession looms large.
Tomorrow the Bank of England will slash growth prospects to just 1 per cent down from 1.5 per cent just three months ago.
It's not what a Chancellor toiling away for long hours at the helm of the economy needs to hear. Combined with the plethora of European summits it all appears to have left the more rotund than usual George Osborne with less time to go to the gym.
George Osborne returns to Downing Street this morning after a brisk jog with what appears to be a more rotund than usual waistline
But this morning he stepped out into the morning gloom for a brisk morning jog in shorts and grey sweater.
The Chancellor is also aiming to get the economy moving at a faster pace with a series of schemes for new toll roads, housing and power stations to kickstart growth.
Adding to his woes youth unemployment is expected to hit one million for the first time since records began more than 20 years ago and fresh details have emerged of Coalition infighting over their plans to get the economy moving, with Business Secretary Vince Cable ruling out Tory proposals to freeze benefits.
The Treasury is desperate to get money flowing into the economy now by bringing forward major building projects that might not have got off the ground for several years.
What a difference a year makes: George Osborne in October 2010
Insiders stress that the Government will not change its deficit reduction plans, since that would be an admission they have resorted to Plan B.
Instead, Mr Osborne is relying on money sitting idle in private sector pension funds and insurance schemes.
Under the proposals, to be announced in the growth review on November 29, private investors will be asked to pay £50billion into infrastructure investment funds.
In exchange for their cash now, investors would get paid a dividend later in the form of tolls from new roads, rental income from houses or a slice of energy bills.
The plans will flood the construction industry with cash and boost jobs but are likely to hit consumers in the long-term in the form of higher motoring and electricity costs.
A No 10 source said: 'Pension funds are sitting on large amounts of capital and are reluctant to put money in.
'There's very little public money
available so it makes sense to tap that money.'
Today Mr Osborne also insisted once again that the UK will not not bear the financial cost of bailing out the single currency.
Writing in the Evening Standard, he said: 'The financial risks of standing behind the currency will ultimately be borne by eurozone citizens. The eurozone has the financial capacity to restore stability. They now need to deploy it without delay.'
Mr Osborne also restated his opposition to a Financial Transaction Tax, warning that a levy on financial trading would be 'economic suicide' for Britain and Europe.
The Chancellor said: 'Proposals for a Europe-only Financial Transactions Tax are a bullet aimed at the heart of London. The EU should be coming forward with new ideas to promote growth, not undermine it.'
Despite 'grounds for optimism' following the formation of new governments in Greece and Italy, Mr Osborne warned that 'this remains the most dangerous moment for the world economy since Lehman Brothers went down in the autumn of 2008.'
Once the immediate crisis is overcome, 'over time eurozone countries will have to pool more resources and share more control over each other's tax and spending decisions', said the Chancellor.
'Frankly, this is a big loss of national sovereignty for those countries. It is one of the reasons I have always opposed Britain joining the euro. But it is the only way to make a currency union work for the long term.
'Britain will not be part of this fiscal integration and this Government will make sure that our national interests and our voice in the EU are protected.'
At odds: Nick Clegg, seen here with the Prime Minister, has blocked Tory-backed proposals to make it easier to sack people in order to lessen the burden on small businesses
Ed Balls said he welcomed the fund but added that one cannot have investment projects which don't affect borrowing
Mr Osborne has Lib Dem support for his building projects, but friction remains at the top of the Coalition about other plans.
Nick Clegg has blocked Tory-backed proposals to make it easier to sack people in order to lessen the burden on small businesses.
And Mr Cable yesterday ruled out plans floated by the Tories to freeze benefits, rather than uprate them in line with inflation.
He said: 'There is no doubt, of course they should be indexed and that's fully understood.'
But the Business Secretary did back the £50billion growth plans. He said: 'What we have to do is create a framework regulation so that private investors will have the confidence to invest in big projects and help get the British economy moving again.'
Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls welcomed plans for the fund.
But he added: 'You can't have public investment projects which don't affect borrowing, which somehow rely upon the private sector. There is no meat there.'
Mr Osborne said last night: 'I fully accept we need to have more initiatives, more government plans to stimulate housing, to get homes being built, to help construction, help infrastructure, help small businesses get more credit.
'We're going to announce plans for all those things in the next few weeks.'
The taxman's relentless pursuit of those who owe money has seen a four-fold increase in the use of legal powers to seize the assets of late-paying companies.
In the past two years, HM Revenue & Customs has used its 'distraint' powers to seize assets for auction on 7,004 businesses – up from 1,675 in 2009. In many cases the actions left company bosses with no choice but to shut up shop.
Assets seized are often sold on at fire sale prices that fail to even cover the full amount of unpaid taxes and reduce the chances of other creditors being repaid. Tax experts believe the aggressive pursuit is down to huge pressure being piled on to HMRC, which is also facing staffing cuts.
Stuart McNeill, partner at accountants McGrigors, said: 'By barging in and selling the assets of a late-paying company without making a proper commercial assessment of the firm's medium-term viability, HMRC risks sacrificing full payment in a few months' time for far less cash upfront.'
Taxpayers are meant to be able to negotiate late payment of taxes through the Government's 'Time to Pay' scheme.
But since HMRC was stripped of its 'preferred creditor' status in 2003, the taxman is no longer first in line to recoup any money owed if a company goes bust.
'If they don't take an informed commercial view, they may be dealing the killer blow to some companies with a good chance of survival – and increasing the unemployment figures,' said Mr McNeill.
An HMRC spokesman said it uses its powers when 'other avenues are exhausted'.

On arrival at holiday destination it was raining. Waited under a bus shelter with case on seat and had a 5 minute walk the other end in the rain. When I opened the case in the hotel the rain had seeped in all around the zip, onto the lining and my clothes. Tripp will only do something if there is a manufacturing fault - but this seems to be a design fault so I shall be looking for a new case which will not be a Tripp. Someone should tell you whether to expect waterproof or not.

The present invention relates to the production of images by the use of colour formers.
The use of colour formers in self-duplicating stationery has been known for many years, especially in pressure-sensitive duplicating systems. Such systems consist of adjacent sheets of paper in which by pressure writing, e.g. by a ball-point pen or a typewriter, copies are produced on the underlying sheets without the need for interleaved carbon paper. Usually a solution of the colour former is contained in microcapsules which are coated on to the reverse side of the upper sheet and the front side of the bottom sheet or receiving sheet is coated with a co-reactive substance. In systems comprising more than two sheets, the intermediate sheets are coated on each side with the appropriate substance. When writing or typing on the top sheet the capsules are ruptured by impact, the colour former is brought into contact with the co-reactive substrate and a coloured image, being a copy of the original, is produced.
It is not always necessary to produce copies of an original, and in some instances it is even undesirable. We have found that in those cases where an original only is required using colour formers, it is not necessary to encapsulate the colour former. In addition, in the present invention colour formers can be used which are themselves not colourless but undergo a colour change when contacted with a co-reactive substance. In particular, azoic colour formers which are normally yellow in colour, but which undergo a colour change to destroy the yellow and produce a different colour when protonated can be used in the present invention. Such substances are often objectionable in conventional self-duplicating systems because the paper is a pale yellow colour.
According to the present invention there is provided an image producing system which comprises a carrier material impregnated with a solution of a colour former in a weakly volatile high boiling solvent and a colour former de-activating substance, preferably a liquid organic base; and a substrate which has incorporated therein or possesses at least one surface which is at least partially coated with a colour-former activating substance or system and a re-activating substance which counteracts the de-activating substance, and wherein the colour former is an azo compound having the general formula I: ##STR1## in which R1, R2 and R3 each represents hydrogen, halogen, alkyl, alkoxy, aryloxy, alkoxycarbonyl, dialkylaminocarbonyl, acylamino, acyl(alkyl)amino, ##STR2## in which Y1 and Y2 each represents alkyl or aryl, or in which Y1 and Y2 together represent an alkylene group; X1 is hydrogen or an alkyl group, X2 is an alkyl, cyanoalkyl or arylmethylene group or X1 and X2 together represent an alkylene group, X3 is an alkyl or aryl group and n is 1 or 2, preferably 1, or of the general formula II: ##STR3## in which Z1, Z2 and Z3 each represents hydrogen, alkyl, substituted alkyl, alkoxy, halogen, nitro, acylamino, aminoacyl or alkoxycarbonyl, A1 and A2 each represents alkyl or phenyl or A1 and A2 together with the nitrogen atom to which they are bound form a heterocyclic ring system and n is 1 or 2.
When the colour former is a triazene of general formula II it has to be reacted with an azo coupling component before it is capable of forming a colour on a substrate. The azo coupling component may be present either in the carrier material together with the compound of general formula II or in the substrate where it may be in admixture with the colour former activating substance.
The invention also provides a process for producing a coloured image on a substrate by means of a colour former which comprises impregnating a carrier material with a solution of a colour former in a weakly volatile high boiling solvent and a colour former de-activating substance; incorporating into the substrate or at least partially coating the surface of the substrate with a colour former activating substance or system and a re-activating substance which counteracts the de-activating substance, and transferring the colour former on to selected areas of the substrate prepared by one of the methods indicated above to produce the image, and wherein the colour former is an azo compound of the general formulae (I) or (II) defined above.
The colour former activating substance will normally be one which is more acidic than the colour former, and may be any of the substances which are known to activate colour formers. It may be, for example, attapulgite, bentonite, silica, halloysite, kaolin or any acidic or acidified clay, or an acid reacting polymeric material such as a phenolic polymer, a phenol acetylene polymer, a maleic acid-rosin resin or a partially or wholly hydrolysed polymer of maleic anhydride with styrene, ethylene, vinyl methyl ether or carboxy polymethylenes. If the colour former is a triazene compound of general formula II the colour former activating substance will usually be present in admixture with an azo coupling component.
The present invention also provides a solution, in a weakly volatile high boiling solvent having a boiling point of at least 150� C. of a colour former of general formula I or II, defined above, and a colour former de-activating substance, and also a carrier material impregnated with such a solution.
The carrier material which is impregnated with the colour former solution may be a fabric such as is used, for example, in typewriter ribbons, a paper material, possibly in ribbon form, such as crepe paper, wet laid or dry laid paper, or a felt or fabric pad such as are used with a rubber or metal stamp. It is preferred to absorb the colour former on to a fabric ribbon to produce a typewriter ribbon, or on to a felt or fabric pad or into a felt-tipped pen. The colour former is then transferred on to the substrate by typing with the ribbon, by means of a stamp from the pad or by writing with the felt-tipped pen. The carrier material may be impregnated with from 5 - 200% of its dry weight of the colour former solution, preferably from 5 - 100%.
The solvent used to dissolve the colour former may be any weakly volatile high boiling solvent having a boiling point of at least 150� C., preferably at least 300� C. Suitable solvents include, for example, partially hydrogenated terphenyl, liquid paraffin, tricresyl phosphate, di-n-butyl phthalate, dioctyl phthalate, trichlorobenzene, nitrobenzene, trichloroethyl phosphate or water-insoluble hydrocarbon oils, alkyl phthaloyl butyl glycollates, such as propyl-, pentyl-, hexyl- or preferably butyl-phthaloyl butyl glycollate; diethylene glycol, triethylene glycol or polyethylene glycols having a molecular weight of from 200 to 600, e.g. 400. Such solvents may be used alone or in combinations.
The colour former solution may contain up to 10% by weight of the colour former depending on the solubility in the chosen solvent, but is usually used in amounts of from 0.1 - 4% by weight.
Suitable de-activating substances are non-volatile liquid organic bases such as an amine or an alkanolamine, e.g. triethanolamine and diethanolamine.
Suitable re-activating substances are organic acids such as maleic acid, oxalic acid, malonic acid, succinic acid, glutaric acid, adipic acid, tricarballylic acid diglycollic acid, lactic acid, malic acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, pyrophosphoric acid, benzene sulphonic acid, naphthalene-2-sulphonic acid, 1-phenol-4-sulphonic acid, polymaleic acid, co- and ter-polymers of maleic acid with ethyl acrylate and vinyl acetate, hydroxyethane diphosphonic acid and methylamino-N-N-di-methylene-phosphonic acid. The preferred acid is maleic acid.
The amount of de-activating substance impregnated into the carrier material should be sufficient to prevent the colour former from being activated when it contacts a substrate which does not contain a re-activating substance. While in some cases up to 40% of de-activating material, based on the weight of the solvent, may be used, normally up to 10% is sufficient for most substrates. The preferred amount is from 0.4 to 6%, most preferably from 0.4 to 2%, based on the weight of solvent.
The substrate is preferably paper which has been formed using a neutral or alkaline size and thus will not react with the colour former. The paper may be sized with aluminium sulphate, rosin size and sodium aluminate to produce a neutral sized paper, or with a ketone dimer to produce an alkaline sized paper. This assists in controlling the colour forming reaction.
When the colour formers are azo compounds of the formula I, they are preferably those of the general formula III ##STR4## in which R4, R5 and R6 each represent lower alkyl, lower alkoxy, halogenphenoxy, phenoxy, lower alkoxycarbonyl, lower dialkylaminocarbonyl, acetylamino, halogen, acetyl(lower alkyl)amino, ##STR5## in which Y3 and Y4 each represents lower alkyl or phenyl, or in which Y3 and Y4 together represent an alkylene group with 4 or 5 carbon atoms and, at most two of the radicals R4, R5 and R6 being hydrogen, X4 is hydrogen or lower alkyl, X5 is lower alkyl, lower cyanoalkyl or benzyl, or X4 and X5 together represent an alkylene group with 4 or 5 carbon atoms, X6 is lower alkyl or phenyl and n is 1 or 2.
Of special interest are azo compounds of the formula IV: ##STR6## in which R7, R8 and R9 each represents methyl, methoxy, phenoxy, dichlorophenoxy, methoxycarbonyl, dimethylaminocarbonyl, acetylamino, chlorine, acetyl(methyl)amino, ##STR7## in which Y5 and Y6 each represent methyl, ethyl or phenyl or in which Y5 and Y6 together represent a pentylene group, at most two of the radicals, R7, R8 and R9 being hydrogen, X7 is methyl or ethyl, X8 is methyl, 2-cyanoethyl or benzyl, X9 is methyl or ethyl and n is 1 or 2.
Advantageous results are obtained with colour formers of the formula V: ##STR8## in which R7, R8, R9, X7 and X8 have the meanings given above, and very suitable are colour formers of the formula VI: ##STR9## in which R10, R11 and R12 each represents methoxy, methoxycarbonyl, chlorine, diethylaminosulfonyl or acetylamino, at most two of the radicals R10, R11 and R12 being hydrogen and X7 and X8 have the meanings given above.
The terms lower alkyl or lower alkoxy in the definitions of radicals of the colour formers means radicals with 1 to 5, especially 1 to 3 carbon atoms, such as methyl, ethyl, propyl, benzyl or amyl.
When one or more of the R-radicals contain acyl groups, the acyl radical may be derived, for example, from an aliphatic monocarboxylic acid having 1 to 4 carbon atoms such as acetic acid.
When one or more of the R-radicals is halogen it is, e.g. iodine, bromine but preferably chlorine.
When Y1 and Y2 or Y3 and Y4 together represent an alkylene group they form together with the nitrogen atom a heterocyclic ring such as piperidine or pyrrolidine.
Aryl radicals in any of the definitions of the colour formers especially mean naphthalene, diphenyl and preferably benzene radicals.
These colour formers may be prepared by conventional methods known in the art, e.g. by diazotizing a substituted aniline and coupling it onto a N-substituted aniline.
Specific Examples of compounds of general formula I which may be used in the present invention are given in Table I, in which n in formula I is 1 and in Table II in which n in formula I is 2.

When the colour former is one of general formula II, defined above, alkyl and alkoxy in the definitions of Z1, Z2, Z3, A1 and A2 usually are lower alkyl or alkoxy, which as a rule do not contain more than 4 carbon atoms, e.g. n-butyl, n-butoxy, n-propyl, isopropyl, ethyl, ethoxy, methyl or methoxy. Substituents for alkyl in Z1, Z2 or Z3, e.g. are halogen, hydroxy or lower alkoxy.
The term "halogen" may represent iodine, but preferably bromine or chlorine. The term acylamino preferably means a radical of an aliphatic or aromatic sulfonic or particularly carboxylic acid amide whereby the amide nitrogen may be substituted by lower alkyl. Especially preferred are radicals of an alkane carboxylic acid amide, where the amide nitrogen optionally is substituted by methyl, such as a formic acid amide, acetic acid amide or propionic acid amide radical or radicals of a benzene carboxylic acid amide such as benzoic acid amide.
The term aminoacyl as a rule stands for an amine substituted --CO-- or --SO2 -- group. The amine radical thereby may be of a primary or secondary aliphatic or an heterocyclic amine. Preferred triazenes correspond to the formula VII. ##STR19## in which Z4, Z5 and Z6 each represents hydrogen, alkyl with 1 to 4 carbon atoms, alkoxy with 1 to 4 carbon atoms, halogen, nitro, --N(--X1)--CO--X2 or ##STR20## or COOX3, X1 and X2 each representing hydrogen, alkyl with 1 to 4 carbon atoms or phenyl, X3 represents alkyl with 1 to 4 carbon atoms, G is --CO-- or --SO2 --, A3, A4, A3 ' and A4 ' each represent alkyl with 1 to 4 carbon atoms or phenyl or A3 and A4, and A3 ' and A4 ' respectively together with the nitrogen atom to which they are bound form a heterocyclic ring system with one or two rings, each ring containing 5 to 7 ring members and n is 1 or 2.
Of special interest are triazines of the formula VIII: ##STR21## in which Z7 and Z8 each represent hydrogen, alkyl with 1 to 4 carbon atoms, alkoxy with 1 to 4 carbon atoms or halogen, and Z6, A3, A4 and n have the meaning given above.
Advantageous results are obtained with colour formers of the formula IX: ##STR22## in which Z9 represents hydrogen, alkyl with 1 to 2 carbon atoms, alkoxy with 1 or 2 carbon atoms, halogen, nitro, --N(--X4)-- CO--X5, ##STR23## or --COOX6, X4 represents hydrogen, alkyl with 1 or 2 carbon atoms or phenyl, X5 represents alkyl with 1 or 2 carbon atoms, X6 represents alkyl with 1 or 2 carbon atoms or phenyl, Z10 and Z11 each represent hydrogen, alkyl with 1 or 2 carbon atoms, alkoxy with 1 or 2 carbon atoms or halogen, G represents --CO-- or --SO2 --; A5, A6, A5 ' and A6 ' each represents alkyl with 1 or 2 carbon atoms or phenyl or A5 and A6 and A5 ' and A6 ' respectively together with the nitrogen atoms to which they are bound form a heterocyclic ring system with one or two rings consisting of carbon, nitrogen and at most one oxygen as ring members, each ring containing 5 to 7 ring members and the ring system containing at most 10 ring members.
Very suitable colour formers are triazenes of the formula X: ##STR24## in which Z12 represents hydrogen, methyl, methoxy, chlorine, nitro, ##STR25## Z13 is hydrogen, methyl, methoxy or chlorine Z14 is hydrogen or methoxy
A7 ' is methyl, ethyl or phenyl
A8 ' is methyl, ethyl or hydrogen
A7 is methyl, ethyl or phenyl
A8 is methyl or ethyl or A7 and A8 together with the nitrogen atom to which they are bound represent ##STR26## X7 is hydrogen or methyl, X8 is methyl or phenyl and n is 1 or 2.
These colour formers as such either are well known or may be prepared by conventional methods known in the art. A general method e.g. can be described thus:
The primary aromatic amine is dissolved in hydrochloric acid and water, then the solution is cooled to 0� C. with ice. Sodium nitrite is added beneath the surface at such a rate that a slight excess of nitrous acid is always present. When the diazotisation is complete the reaction mixture is added to a solution or suspension of the secondary amine and sodium hydrogen carbonate in water at 10� C. The reaction mixture is stirred and allowed to reach room temperature. Stirring is continued until no diazonium compound can be detected. The product is out of solution and is filtered off or extracted into an organic solvent, washed with water and dried in vacuo at temperature below 50� C.
The colour formers as such are colourless and can form coloured images when brought into contact with a typical azoic coupling substance and an acidic active substrate, that is a solid electron coupling substance.
Suitable colour formers of the formula II e.g. are:

When a triazene compound of formula II is used as colour former the azo coupling component preferably is a naphthalene, benzene, pyrazolone or quinoline or more particularly a naphthol or a naphthylamine.
Among the naphthol those of the formula ##STR73## are of special interest, in which M is --NH--, --S-- or --O--, Q1 and Q2 each represent hydrogen, nitro, halogen, alkyl with 1 to 4 carbon atoms or alkoxy with 1 to 4 carbon atoms, m and r are each 1 or 2.
Naphthylamines which are very valuable correspond to the formula ##STR74## in which Q3 and Q4 each represent hydrogen, alkyl with 1 to 4 carbon atoms, benzyl or phenyl or where Q3, Q4 and the nitrogen atom to which they are bound together form a heterocyclic ring system with one or two rings consisting of carbon, nitrogen and at most one oxygen as ring members, each ring containing 5 to 7 ring members and the ring system containing at most 10 ring members and Q5 is hydrogen or a sulfonic acid group.
All the azo couplers suitable for use in the present invention are of the well known couplers used for making azo dyestuffs and they thus are known as such and are prepared by well known methods.
The following naphthols of formula XI e.g. are very suitable as coupling components:

Naphthylamines of formula XII e.g. are: ##STR75## Further suitable azo couplers correspond to these formulae: ##STR76## With these colour formers a large variety of colours may be produced ranging from orange to violet. Mixtures of such colour formers are suitable to give neutral shades such as grey. A special advantage of the triazenes is the light fastness of the colours they produce.
If desired the colour formers containing an azo group of formulae I or II, defined above, can be used in admixture with other known colour formers, such as crystal violet lactone (CVL) or benzoyl leuco methylene blue (BLMB) in order to change the colour of the image produced. In addition the colour former may be admixed with a dyestuff which is soluble in the solvent used to produce different colour effects.
The invention will be illustrated by the following Examples in which percentages are by weight.
An alkaline sized paper was coated with Sylton clay, one sample of which was then overprinted with maleic acid, and another sample was used as a blank.
Colour former solutions containing 0.4% of the colour former No. 32 in Table 1 in diethylene glycol containing various concentrations of triethanolamine (0.4%, 0.8%, 1.2%, 1.6% and 2.0%) were impregnated on to a stamp pad and then transferred to the paper by a rubber stamp.
When stamped on to the blank, no reaction was observed with any of the colour former solutions. When stamped on the paper coated with maleic acid an instantaneous reaction occurred, producing a red colour.
Example 1 was repeated except that the colour former was replaced by others listed in Table I. The colour formers used and the resulting colours when stamped onto paper overprinted with maleic acid are shown in the following Table:

June 12, 2016: You do not need to be a survivor or know a victim of violence to experience the emotional and physical effects of violent action. The impact of violence can be immediate for some, and for others can not appear until some time has passed. For some, talking about the event with others, acknowledging the resulting feelings, and focusing on helping others can assist with reducing the negative emotional impact of violence. Others may find that talking with a mental health professional is a useful step in moving through the pain.

This question was answered by Denise Appleby
If an IRA contribution was deducted on a tax return, but the contribution was never made to the IRA by the taxpayer's tax filing deadline (no extension included), the tax return must be amended to remove the contribution. Generally, Form 1040X must be filed within three years after the date the original return is filed or within two years after the date the taxpayer paid his or her income tax, whichever is later. If the contribution was reflected on the state tax return, an amended return for the state should also be filed.
For more insight, check out IRA Contributions: Deductions And Tax Credits.
