Constructed of a shatter resistant, high impact strength non BPA co-polyester; the system comes complete with two or four purification elements, a base and utilizes the latest technological advances. This system has a storage capacity of about 2.75 gallons and when in use it stands 26.5 in height with a diameter of 9. The system stands 21 when used without the base (included). Configured with two Black Berkey� purification elements the system can purify over 4 Gallons per hour. Configured with four Black Berkey� purification elements the system can purify up to 8 Gallons per hour.
The Berkey Light� system is designed for use during travel, outdoor activities and during unexpected emergencies. This powerful system purifies both treated water and untreated raw water from such sources as remote lakes, streams, stagnant ponds and water supplies in foreign countries, where regulations may be substandard at best. Perfect for outdoor activities and a must in hostile environments where electricity, water pressure or treated water may not be available.
The Berkey Light� system does not leach foul tasting plasticizers into your water and will not retain foul tastes and odors from waterborne contaminants. As the system purifies water, it produces the delightful and relaxing sound of falling raindrops.
The revolutionary Berkey Light� cleanable purification elements purify water by removing or reducing viruses, pathogenic bacteria, cysts and parasites entirely and by extracting harmful chemicals such as herbicides, pesticides, VOCs, organic solvents, radon 222 and trihalomethanes. They also reduce rust, silt, sediment and unhealthy minerals such as lead and mercury.
Easy Setup and Simple Installation:
The Berkey Light� system sets up in minutes. Simply screw in the purification elements and spigot, put the chambers and base together and you

Most of these ecosystems are extremely fragile, buffeted as they are by direct human intervention as well as the vagaries wrought by a changing climate.

Once again I am taking part in the 21 Day meditation challenge from Deepak & Oprah https://chopracentermeditation.com/. As usual I am a few days behind so today I was on Day 15 How Can I serve?
I failed miserably in my attempt to meditate today and gave up in the end. Anger and sadness got the better me and I could not stem the flow of tears. I realised as I listened to Deepak speak that, today, I do not want to serve anybody. That I am sick of "serving", that all I ever do I do for others. I cook, I clean, I wash dishes, I do laundry and most of this is for others.
Over the last few days I have become increasingly dissatisfied and I know it is because I get little or no recognition for all that I do and the more I do the more is expected. Each day I clean the house, the kids come in from school and dump coats, shoes, books, bags, wherever they happen to land. If I ask for them to be removed I am told I am nagging or that they need it and frequently the things are just left where they are until I clear them away.
Every evening, I cook a meal, I try my best to ensure that there is something for everyone but still I get complaints, they don't like it, or they're not in the mood for whatever it is I have cooked. Or it is overcooked or undercooked or they have left it go cold and now don't want it. Frequently most of what I have cooked ends up in the bin and then a couple of hours later they are rummaging in the kitchen and complaining that I never buy anything they want to eat.
So today, I didn't clean up, the breakfast dishes are still sitting in the sink, I haven't done the laundry nor have I swept or washed the floors. I decided that today the only person I was going to serve was me. I am tired, I haven't been getting enough sleep recently, so I went back to bed for an hour once the kids had all left. I had a long hot shower and spent the rest of the day reading and listening to music. Dinner tonight is throw in the oven fish and chips, and I really don't care if they don't like it.
Am I being selfish? I don't think so, I am only human, I need down time too, and while I may well be here to serve it is impossible to do so all the time without a break. And that has always been one of my major weaknesses, my inability to just take the break when I need it. I have a tendency to keep going and going and going until I make myself so ill I have no choice but to take a break. Then, guess what, it is not even an enjoyable break!
So I have done it, I am here to serve but sometimes I have to serve me first.
Happy Thanksgiving to all my American readers, hope you have all had a wonderful day and plenty to give thanks for.
Today I am grateful for the opportunity to just stop, to rest and for the ability to recognise that I needed to do it.
God Bless.

Ethical Guidelines
Ethical Guidelines in the Context of Doctoral Studies
The following Ethical Guidelines in the Context of Doctoral Studies shall create transparency about what constitutes proper ethical behavior between doctoral students, supervisors and third parties at ebs.
- The basis of all guidelines is the understanding that during a dissertation, both supervisors and doctoral students possess rights and assume obligations. Thus, support for the dissertation shall both be regularly offered by the supervisor and requested by the doctoral student.
- Both the supervisor and the doctoral student shall clarify goals and methods of the dissertation. Demands and complexity of the latter are to be formulated in a way that guarantees a successful completion for both parties within a time period that is reasonable for both parties.
- The support of the supervisor is to be framed in a way that the character of the dissertation as an individual scientific effort remains guaranteed. In particular, any unreasonable influence on goals and methods of third parties (e.g. cooperation enterprises) should be ruled out.
- If the doctoral student is employed at the chair or institute of his/her supervisor, he/she should, if possible, be assigned tasks that relate to his/her dissertation project.
- For internal doctoral students, the delegation of tasks from supervisor to doctoral student has to leave sufficient time for the doctoral students research and preparation of his/her dissertation. In particular, this concerns the attendance of courses and activities within the scope of the doctoral studies at ebs and the preparation of the associated examinations.
- The authorship of publications produced jointly by supervisor, doctoral student and, where applicable, student should reflect both the conceptual contribution and the time commitment. Ideally, authorship issues should be discussed upfront.
- The understanding of academic dishonesty and plagiarism includes insufficient citation of the doctoral students own, supervised or otherwise accessible diploma thesis and seminar papers.
- Supervisor and faculty make an effort to keep the time between the submission of the dissertation and the disputation/oral examination as short as possible.
- Both the choice of the second assessor and the appointment of examiners should be on a neutral basis.
- In case of conflict between supervisor and doctoral student and upon request by one of the parties involved, the faculty has the duty to mediate.
- To avoid conflicts of interest, professors should avoid supervising doctoral students to whom family-, sexual- and/or private-business-relations exist. Potential conflicts of interest arising after committing to supervision are to be announced immediately.

There are many options for giving that will help Maimonides Medical Center to continue to excel in patient care, graduate medical education, research and medical services from pediatric to cardiac to cancer care.
Perhaps the most profound way to ensure the legacy of your generous spirit is through a bequest. By including the Maimonides Medical Center in your will, you help sustain our work, our compassionate patient care and our programs for future generations.
There are several ways to include Maimonides in your will. You may leave a specific dollar amount or a particular property; you may specify a set percentage of your estate; or you may leave the remainder of your estate after providing for your heirs. All options will help you reduce your estate taxes.
If you have already included Maimonides in your estate plans, or if you would like more information on how to do so, call our Development Department at 718.283.8200, or write to us at: The Development Office Maimonides Medical Center 4802 Tenth Avenue Brooklyn, NY 11219
Your gift of real estate or other personal property provides generous support for Maimonides Medical Center while also helping to reduce your own tax obligations. Through a gift of real estate or other personal property, you can:
Please consider making a gift of real estate or other personal property to Maimonides Medical Center. Our Assistant Vice President of Development can assist you in evaluating your property's potential and analyzing the options to determine the most beneficial course for you. For more information, please contact 718.283.8200.
When you donate securities to Maimonides Medical Center, not only do you support the premier specialty care teaching hospital in Brooklyn – you also reduce your own tax burden.
Compared to selling them outright, donating your securities to Maimonides can result in significant tax savings. Your gift of appreciated securities that you have owned for more than one year allows you to save significantly on your capital gains taxes. You can usually take a deduction for the full current value, while not having to declare the appreciated value as a capital gain.
For more information on how to make a donation of securities to Maimonides, including assistance with transferring securities electronically, please contact 718.283.8200.

*shrugs* Works for me... that´s why we have such a low crime rate, even though we border the People´s Republic of Massachusetts...
No one in New Hampshire legally has "automatic weapons" except for military and law enforcement personnel. Automatic weapons are not available to the general public. Is it any wonder the vast majority of the American public are irredeemably stupid and uninformed?
And they put democratics into office....
Dang!We in Arizona need to do something to correct this right away.
Mark Steyn will be amused now that we know what he may be packing.
Sigh.... #2 yes, the general public CAN possess automatic weapons. Its called a tax stamp. It is a cumbersome and lengthy process, but it can be accomplished (I would tell you how it is done, but I don´t want the Gov to know).But do go on about the how the vast majority of the American public are irredeemably stupid and uninformed....
#2 really ought to get all his facts straight before correcting others. Fully automitic weapons, including .50 cal Browning Machine guns are legal. They are called class III weapons and although you have to go through alot of paperwork and a deep background check to get one, and you have to pay a tax on them, and they are very expensive, they are available. There are plenty of them in NH. I have been to several machine gun shoots myself and there is some amazing stuff on the firing line. Google Knob Creek Machine Gun Shoot and you will see what I mean.
#2 unless there is a specific state ban, you have no idea what you are speaking about. Just read the article. lots of good info on the process. the scary part is how law enforcement agencies ,and there are more and more of them at state and especially federal (The U.S. Department of Education has a swat team!)are being militarized with full auto weapons.
Isn´t that the state where that "it" said that she didn´t want any conservatives moving into her state???
The people of America have armed themselves ever since Obama took office. They recognize a dictator/tyrant when they see on. The ones that do have guns have them in record numbers. I was surprised how many the average gun owner has. You will never be able to count them all because they aren´t telling how many. Polls on this would not even begin to tell how many there are.Good for NH. Live free or die. It´s coming down to that phrase.
I´m just glad they are fairly close to DC if we need ´em fast.
The most "according to federal records".Shows how smart the gun-owning folks in the South and Midwest are.
Perhaps #2 is from WA state where it IS illegal to own fully automatic weapons. I´ve had to correct a few "gun" people here who didn´t realize they were illegal due to geography.My personal opinion is that a private individual should be able to purchase and own anything that is available to the military/government.
FTA: Civilians seeking to own machine guns must fill out paperwork for the ATF and satisfy requirements to gather fingerprints and photographs, and to obtain the sign-off of the chief law enforcement officer where they reside. The documentation is then processed by an ATF examiner — a process that currently lasts a minimum of about five months, according to Evan Nappen, a Concord attorney who specializes in weapons laws. "There´s a lot of paperwork and there´s a lot of regulation," Nappen said.Tyranny. Any questions?

France tackles school violence
Today, the French government begins two days of round-table talks on how to tackle violence in the country's schools. Officials, experts and community leaders are coming together after a spate of incidents earlier this year, including the fatal stabbing of an 18-year-old. The French government says it's taking action. But many critics say authorities have been too slow to deal with a growing problem.

School violence in Tunisia
by Anonyme - 18/04/2010 - 14:17
I think school violence is getting widespread over many countries . Here in Tunisia , it surpassed violence among class mates, to involve the teaching staff , who is subjected every day to verbal abuse and increasing physical threats ranging from kicking and punching to stabbing.
In the absence of ever-busy parents and a framework of psychological support units in schools, these attacks are to increase at an alarming rate . With students bragging about their adventures in social networks like facebook and therefore spreading their ill-natured acts.

It was a night for the improbable, but for a second consecutive week, Chillicothe finished on top with a 21-14 win at Big Walnut.
Nate Rosenbauer scored on a 44 yard hook and ladder play to give Chillicothe its first lead of the game with 6.6 seconds remaining.
The Cavs had fallen behind early as Big Walnut took a 14-0 first quarter lead on its first two possessions and held that lead through halftime.
The Cavs reached the red zone only once in the first 24 minutes and came up empty. It would seem improbable for a Cavalier comeback.
Coming out of the half, the Cavs' Ryan Mathis intercepted an Eagles pass at the Big Walnut 41. Eleven plays later, Mathis pitched right on a halfback pass to Rosnebauer who delivered a strike to Austin Elliott for the Cavs first score of the game. Jacob Weber hit the PAT to cut the deficit to 14-7 at the 6:53 mark in the 3rd quarter.
On Big Walnut's next possession, a tipped pass at the line was grabbed by Ryan Milliken and returned to the Eagles' 18. On the next play, Mathis found Eddy Wells in the far corner of the end zone. A Weber PAT tied the game at 14-14 just 38 seconds later.
Chillicothe forced the Eagles into four consecutive punts and got the ball on their own 16 yard line with 1:36 left in regulation. Best chance, overtime, right?
Mathis slipped through the line on a quarterback keeper and erased half of the distance to the goal line by reaching the Eagles 43. With time running out, the Cavs appeared to mismanage the clock, allowing the clock to reach 19 seconds on a third down spike.
But Big Walnut gave Chillicothe another opportunity with an encroachment penalty. Coach Ron Hinton pulled out the hook and ladder. Mathis rolled left to hit Austin Elliott in the flat, Elliott pitched the ball to Rosenbauer who tight roped the far sideline for 25 yards and the winning score.
After yielding 134 yards on two scoring drives, the Chillicothe defense allowed 63 total yards the rest of the game.
The Cavs' Rosenbauer had 69 yards on 19 carries, Daiquan Hall 41 yards on 7 lugs and Mathis rushed for 46 yards and completed 5 of 18 passes for 98 yards.
Chillicothe improved to 2-0 heading into their home opener with Teays Valley (2-0) next Friday. The Vikings were 26-13 winners at Logan.

Earnings all higher for the company.
A bipartisan group of 53 senators sent a letter to President Obama urging him to approve the keystone XL pipeline that letter and -- these words.
We urge -- to choose jobs economic development.
An American energy security the pipeline is gone through the most exhaustive environmental scrutiny of any pipeline.
There is no reason to the way to deny or further delay this long studied.
Project that letter follows to brass for governor Dave Simon's approval of the revised drop through his state putting along the way project.
On the president's desk he -- second -- In his state along the -- pipeline is expected to create in Nebraska over 418 million and benefits related to a two year construction project.
Sixty and a half million at one time tax assessment.
Roughly 4000.
Joining us now is the governor and state of Nebraska Dave -- Governor good to have you with us and congratulations.
You've got to feel pretty good just knowing that you I know you feel good about the economic prospects for your state the benefits for your citizens but you've got to feel.
I would think some special in humanity.
About giving a president.
A second chance to do the right thing.
Well I'm glad to be able do that Lou I'm glad to be with you tonight.
This is really in my opinion about energy independence we need to reduce our dependence on foreign oil.
The economic impact is very positive for my state and all of America with these jobs -- -- to play.
In that it's the environmental.
Concerns -- we had an environmental impact statement.
That said it would be minimal it would be localized in nature I've now prove did and it's now time for the president.
To act and you know after all the studies all of the revisions that you've made in there and and and there and the keystone XL pipeline imports -- -- TransCanada.
I mean the environmentalists are still have -- -- -- aren't there.
They are you're never gonna satisfy them totally.
TransCanada listen to what we had to say in the state we -- the route moved around the environmentally sensitive sand hills area they did that.
Then we have for informational hearings -- made some other minor adjustments that we now have morale and I think we're all comfortable in this state.
Would allow us to move forward and America to move forward with keystone XL pipeline.
Well you gonna we're gonna have a new secretary of state State Department -- have another review.
Perhaps a decision as early as march -- -- -- call that early.
-- given although it is transpired.
Before this.
Is it your sense do you give any cents.
From the Obama administration whether it's interior whether it's state.
Whomever it may be the White House itself that the president has rethought this matter and is taking a different approach.
Lou I don't know that for sure but I can tell you we've been working with his Department of State during this entire process.
They've been all the information all areas have been to the public hearing.
They know exactly what was going to be in the environmental impact statements so.
I don't know they need much more information.
It's time to say yes or no approve -- not.
And I think most Americans would say it's time to improve the route lets get moving forward.
All right -- government thank you very much for being with us we will be watching along with you and the and the -- in Nebraska and well folks all over the -- country to see what.
What their contribution the keystone XL pipeline will be making to our energy future thank you governor.
Thank you Lou --

I'm Moving!
After hosting my blog on Blogger since December 2006 the time has come for me to move to pastures new and I'm very pleased to let you know that I'm moving to a self hosted site.Why?Well here's a few reasons:I can't control Blogger. If they wish, they can turn my blog off at any time, and after having the blog for so long it leaves an uneasy feeling.It's quite difficult on blogger for people to find and read my historic posts.
With the sun not shining and with no end in sight to the lousy weather this promises to be a very uninspiring summer for me. Seriously, how can we have so much rain? In June, Wales saw 205mm of the stuff which
Increase Betfair Profits - Do A Good Turn
.I feel bad - I've been back from holiday for 3 weeks and I have posted on my blog once! A poor effort but if the truth is told, all of the rain we've had over the last couple of weeks has dampened my mood. It's one of the major drawbacks of being a cricket gambler/trader - you just can't control the weather and this can have a big effect on your monthly p&l.
IPL - The End
After what seems like an eternity, today's IPL game between Chennai and Delhi
IPL - Week 6
.With just 9 games of the IPL left before I set off on our family holiday, I'm starting to wish the competition wouldn't end.
IPL - Week 5
5 weeks down and only 2 to go! It seems like I've been harping on about the IPL for ages and I apologise if you're getting sick of it, but I promised to keep posting updates throughout the competition and I'm a man of my word ;-)So, what's the latest? Each day is a bit like Groundhog Day at the moment ; get up, get Caden ready for school, breakfast, shower, IPL - you

IPL - Week 3
It's not just the markets that have been swinging during the third week of the IPL - so have my moods! From elation one minute to despair the next, it's been am constant struggle to stay on my
IPL - Week 2
In comparison to week 1, for me week 2 of the IPL has been a struggle with lapses of concentration more frequent amongst the seemingly constant stream of matches. With at least 1 game a day until the latter stages of the tournament there's little room for downtime so it's of no surprise really that I suffered a maximum loss on Tuesday. These things happen and even though most of the loss has been recovered in the two wins I've had since, it goes to show how gruelling a test this is and that you' [..]
IPL - Week 1
.It may sound daft considering how much I go on about it, but I've really started to understand the importance the Indian Premier League means to my year and I'm so glad I concentrated on how I would treat things differently this year before the tournament started.We're only 1 week and 12 matches into the 76 game tournament but already it's been clear to me that trades need to be handled with careful timing and I need to be alert to other factors which I may have previously missed.I alluded to t [..]
Geeks Toy v1.2 Released
.The Geek has put version 1.2 onto general release this morning and has retired all other versions with immediate effect so give yourself some extra time if you're planning on trading today.With 2 IPL matches ahead I'm lucky that I noticed this early this morning as I wouldn't have wanted to have to mess around too close to the beginning of the games, so if you're in the same boat then don't leave things too late.Due to amount of work that's gone into this release he's also planning to start cha [..]
Over The Line
Am I glad that's over!?!
Okay, it may not be that exciting but since I committed to posting updates on my progress when I was struggling, here's what I've been up to for the last couple of days...Sunbathing...errr...apart from that?
Fully Charged
.Buoyed by breaking even I had a new lease of life over the weekend as I started to realise that there were still enough events left this month for me to make some money.
Back To The Future
.Hurrah! I made it back into profit for the month but it wasn't an easy ride. After trading yesterday's ODI the final result was a 15% gain towards my target (I am now 5% over it) but as my p&l graph for the match testifies, I had to turn things around after a sticky start (click to enlarge):My thoughts prior to the match were that I wanted to be with the bowling team. There was a chance of rain and previous ground
Relax - Don't Do It
After not participating in the markets on Wednesday, it was back to normal yesterday with the the Asia Cup Final between Pakistan and Bangladesh plus a night of Premier League Darts.I've a list of things which make me feel uncomfortable in cricket markets and the words Pakistan, Bangladesh and the scheduling of a tournament just before the IPL kicks off are all on there.
Split Personality
Yesterday saw the third ODI between West Indies and Australia and that was the focus of my day.
Marching On
.Saturday was a good day as Wales clinched the Grand Slam and the Six Nations Championship but it was back to pressing matters yesterday as I shook off the hangover to continue my trading recovery.Luckily the 2nd ODI between the West Indies and Australia wasn't due to start until 1.30pm and with an added delay due to rain, I was feeling a lot better by the time the teams took to the field.This was a potential banana skin as the match ended up being shortened to a 40 over per side game with a thr [..]

Today went well and I was able to recoup another 41% of my losses to push me back nearer to my break even target.
The Long Road
.Day 1 of my recovery was a long but productive one which consisted of the One Day International between Pakistan and Sri Lanka and an evening of Premier League darts.
Under Pressure
Yikes! I've mentioned recently that I haven't had a losing month for 5 and a half years but after a few things going against me recently, I'm in danger of losing this record. It's a bit of a long story but the shortened version is that I've dabbled with the stock markets along the way for small amounts and always included any profits or losses in my monthly figures. Until recently the amounts involved have been insignificant (less than 1% of my bank) but unluckily for me a few of my shares ha [..]
Richard Preen
.For those of you who have read and enjoyed the 'Odds-N-Sods' blog on my blogroll, you'll be saddened to hear that it's author Richard Preen has died whilst undergoing a lung transplant to transform his life.I'd never met him but from exchanged comments on Twitter he seemed a very decent guy. Always horrible to hear news like this and once gain it's a reminder that we're not here for long. Richard was only 33.Here's a link to the tributes paid to him in the Gloucestershire Echo..
.It's nearly that time of year again when everything in the cricket world goes a bit bonkers and concentrates on the Indian T20 Premier League. If you trade cricket you'll already know that it dominates so much of the calendar with 76 matches spread over just 54 days. Basically, if you have a life just put it on hold for 2 months!Whilst this tournament is often seen as a cash cow there are negatives. Allegations of corruption are rife and there seems to be a constant stream of in-fighting betw [..]

.Has it really been a month since my last blog post? Jeez, where is this year going! I guess being a Dad again has caught me off guard but February was a strange one overall - an explosive start, followed by a dip and then a strong finish - but I'm scratching my head as I can't remember much of it!Hopefully my memory will come back but in the meantime I need to post something interesting (at least to me).Okay, here goes...At the turn of the year I mentioned that my strategy for 2012 would be t [..]

Go With Flow
If people ask how I'm doing or how much money I've made, all I normally say is that I've not had a losing month for 5 and a half years. Of course there have been months where I've made next to nothing and others where I've made a bundle, but the number one aim I've had at the beginning of each one is 'don't lose!'. In fact it's become like a mission statement to me. The thought of a losing month (which can obviously happen) fills me with dread and I'm sure it's because of this that I've been a [..]

Yep, the Australian Domestic T20 competition starts at 8am (GMT) tomorrow and with 31 games scheduled between now and the end of January it will definitely warm up the cold dark mornings..There is a small snag - it's not being televised in the UK - but if you have a Betfair account or a bookmakers account (e.g. Bet365) then you can watch all of the games via their live video service.

Hooked - (Stacia Naquin)
Updated: 10/11/2013 - I'm SO CLOSE to being able to do a pull-up. So my trainer introduced something new into my training.
For many returning servicemen and women, the return to civilian life can be jarring, particularly for those who took on great responsibility while deployed--only to fall back to the bottom of the totem pole once they're back home.
A new law in Colorado, which came into effect with the new year, is designed to make the transition to civilian workforce a little easier for members of the military.
The law allows veterans to apply their military training and experience towards licensing and requirements for various professional licenses issued by the state for civilian professions. For example, veterans can now use their training from the armed forces to apply for licensing to be a real estate or insurance agent.
In the past, state licensing requirements disregarded military training and experience.
Click here for a list of occupations that require licensing in the state of Colorado.
For a list of all other laws now in effect in 2012, click on Find It. The laws will be found under the January 2 entry: New Colorado State Laws 2012. A short summary of each is included.

Vanishing Point [Blu-Ray]
Director : Richard C. Sarafian
Screenplay : Guillermo Cain (story outline by Malcolm Hart)
MPAA Rating : R
Year of Release : 1971
Stars : Barry Newman (Kowalski), Cleavon Little (Super Soul), Dean Jagger (Prospector), Victoria Medlin (Vera Thornton), Paul Koslo (Charlie, Young Nevada Patrolman), Bob Donner (Collins, Older Nevada Patrolman), Timothy Scott (Angel), Gilda Texter (Nude Motorcycle Rider), Anthony James (Male Hitchhiker #1), Arthur Malet (Male Hitchhiker #2)
Although it is probably now best known as the film that inspired Quentin Tarantino's Death Proof (2007)--or at least was the film most frequently named-checked--Vanishing Point should be seen as a particularly charged variant of a now extinct genre: the artsy B-movie. Since the death of drive-ins and grindhouses, B-movie making has shifted almost exclusively to the straight-to-video realm, which seems to encourage a kind of monotonous mediocrity. Yet, there was a time when a low budget, an unknown director, and a complete lack of star power could produce unique cinematic gems. Meager resources need not always produce meager results, and it is not without significance that the B-movie production mills of the '60s and '70s produced such noted auteurs as Francis Ford Coppola, Martin Scorsese, Jonathan Demme, and Brian De Palma.
Alas, director Richard C. Sarafian, who started his career directing television in the early '60s, never reached the echelon occupied by those filmmakers, but his name will forever be associated with the cult status of Vanishing Point, which, like Dennis Hopper's Easy Rider (1969) and Monte Hellman's Two-Lane Blacktop (1971), sought to personify the schisms in American culture, particularly the tensions between the counterculture and the establishment, along the rush of the open highway. Not just an extended car chase movie, Vanishing Point was part of the so-called American "Cinema of Unrest" as it sought to be a multilayered metaphor for not just the American condition, but for the nature of fate itself. Faddishly existential, it offers precious few explanations for its actions but insists that it be taken as something both meaningful and exhilarating, which is why youth audiences high on Sartre and their own alienation ate it up while mainstream critics couldn't make heads or tails of it.
The story takes place over a two-day period, beginning with a sense of strange austerity, as the idyll of its golden, morning-sun-drenched images of peace and quiet are slowly invaded by wailing sirens, a low-flying helicopter, and finally two massive bulldozers that pull into position in the middle of a highway and drop their blades with a clanging metallic thud. All of this is intended to stop a man named Kowalski (Barry Newman), a professional driver who has been charged with driving a 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T from Denver, Colorado, to Fresno, California. The film then flashes back two days earlier as Kowalski picks up the car, gets hopped on a speed to stay alert for the drive, and then takes off into the vast expanse of mountains and deserts between the two states. Who the car is for and why Kowalski is transporting it are never explained, nor is the reasoning behind why he must do it in 15 hours. The only motivation Kowalski seems to have is the need to drive and keep driving, as if he might cease to exist if he ever stopped moving. The film flashes back at various points to sketch in some details of Kowalski's past as a racer and police officer who lost his girlfriend in a surfing accident, and we also learn through bits of dialogue that he was a Medal of Honor winner in Vietnam. Otherwise, he is a cipher, an empty shell with tangled hair and long sideburns who exists to drive and nothing else.
Although the film is in constant motion, with Kowalski picking up constant pursuers in the form of state police and highway patrolmen, there are also moments of respite in which he encounters various denizens of the American outback, including a band of religious revivalists in the desert, a prospector (Dean Jagger) who collects snakes, a pair of gay highway bandits (Anthony James and Arthur Malet), and eventually a hippie outpost whose leader (Timothy Scott) has been seen as a kind of alternate-universe version of Peter Fonda's Captain America. During his brief time with the hippies, Kowalski also crosses paths with a nude woman on a motorcycle (Gilda Texter, who ironically would go on to a long career as a Hollywood costume designer), which is perhaps the film's most labored and dated symbol of pure freedom. The film also frequently cuts back to a radio booth helmed by a blind black DJ named Super Soul (Cleavon Little), who keeps tabs on Kowalski's journey and feeds him information. Like the nude motorcycle rider, Super Soul is also a rather labored convention whose physical blindness does nothing to perturb his "all-seeing" shaman-like nature, which naturally must be taken down by a racist mob in a sequence of race-baiting violence.
If some of the cultural elements and zeitgeist symbolism in Vanishing Point have not worn particularly well over time, the film's visuals have maintained their raw elegance and rugged beauty. Cinematographer John A. Alonzo, who was nominated for an Oscar three years later for his work on Roman Polanski's Chinatown (1974), sets up gorgeous widescreen vistas that emphasize both the expansiveness of the sky and the rough-hewn beauty of the land. Kowalski's white Dodge Challenge stands out against the stark terrain, which is frequently reduced to a near abstraction, especially once Kowalski is stranded in the bleached desolation of the badlands, his tires cutting dark, criss-crossing lines through the sand. While the film features a number of impressive stunts (it is a car chase movie, after all), what is ultimately memorable is the way Alonozo's images transform Vanishing Point into a visual poem of light and dust infused with the relentless need for speed that drives Kowalski and the film itself straight into their fate without comment.
Vanishing Point Blu-Ray | |
The Blu-Ray disc of Vanishing Point contains both the 99-minute original U.S. theatrical version and the 106-minute U.K. version, which restores a sequence starring Charlotte Rampling as a hitchhiker. | |
Aspect Ratio | 1.85:1 |
Audio | |
Subtitles | English, Spanish, Cantonese, Mandarin, Korean |
Supplements | |
Distributor | 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment |
Release Date | February 24, 2009 |
In its new high-definition 1080p transfer on a dual-layer BD50 disc, Vanishing Point looks and sounds fantastic. Despite its relatively low budget, this is a visually impressive film that has a number of shots that could stand toe-to-toe with anything in a Terrence Malick film. The image is clean and clear throughout, with excellent detail and color that never sacrifices the film-like quality (there is still a decent amount of visible grain and texture). The original monaural soundtrack has been remixed into an effective DTS-HD 5.1 surround track that makes good use of the surround channels to emphasize directionality and space, as well as plenty on the low end to give weight the Dodge Challenge's 426 Hemi engine. | |
The majority of the supplements on this Blu-Ray are new, although it also includes all of the material from the 2004 DVD release, including a thoughtful and informative screen-specific audio commentary by director Richard Sarafian, the original theatrical trailer, and two television spots. New this time around is "Built for Speed: A Look Back at Vanishing Point," an 18-minute retrospective featurette that features new interviews with Sarafian, actor Barry Newman, actress Gilda Texter, and stunt coordinator Lou Elias. Also commenting on the film are Audioslave frontman Chris Cornell (who, I guess, is a major fan of the film) and Oscar-winning cinematographer Janusz Kaminiski, who talks of being inspired by the film and others like it when he watched them in communist-controlled Poland as a teenager. Another new featurette is the 10-minute "OA-5599," which is built around interviews with various car enthusiasts and collectors waxing rhapsodic about the power of the Dodge Challenger. Fans of the car will also enjoy the Interactive Challenger, which allows you to admire a virtual version of the car from four angles, see it in one of four factory colors, read information about it, and watch video pods with auto experts. While watching the film you have the option of turning on the "Cars, Cops, and Culture" trivia track, taking the "Vanishing Point Trivia Challenge," or utilizing the "Super Soul Me" BonusView feature, which includes pop-up interviews with many of the original artists who recorded the soundtrack: Leslie West of Mountain, Kim Carnes, Laura Creamer of the all-girl group Eve, Jimmy Walker, Delaney Bramlett of Delaney & Bonnie & Friends, and legendary DJ Jim Ladd. There is also a rather silly option called the "Virtual Dashboard," which puts a digital dashboard on the screen while you're watching the film so you can keep track of Kowalski's speed, mileage, and fuel; track his progress on a map; and read information about the songs on the soundtrack. It's a fun idea in theory, but the problem is that the dashboard takes up about half the screen. Finally, this Blu-Ray is equipped with information for D-Box Motion Control Systems, which synchronizes your home theater seating with the action on-screen to create real-life motion. |
