Bullitt is a 1968 American dramatic thriller film directed by Peter Yates and produced by Philip D'Antoni. It stars Steve McQueen, Robert Vaughn and Jacqueline Bisset. The screenplay by Alan R. Trustman and Harry Kleiner was based on the 1963 novel Mute Witness by Robert L. Fish, writing under the pseudonym Robert L. Pike. Lalo Schifrin wrote the original jazz-inspiredscore, arranged for brass and percussion. Robert Duvall has a small part as a cab driver who provides information to McQueen.
The film was made by McQueen's Solar Productions company, with his then-partner Robert E. Relyea as executive producer. Released by Warner Bros.-Seven Arts on October 17, 1968, the film was a critical and box office smash, later winning the Academy Award for Best Film Editing (Frank P. Keller) and receiving a nomination for Best Sound. Writers Trustman and Kleiner won a 1969 Edgar Award from the Mystery Writers of America for Best Motion Picture Screenplay. Bullitt is notable for its car chase scene through the streets of San Francisco, regarded as one of the most influential in movie history.[2][3][4][5]
In 2007, Bullitt was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".[6] In 2008, the Ford Motor Company produced the Mustang Bullitt model for the 40th anniversary of the film.

Ambitious politician Walter Chalmers (Robert Vaughn) is about to hold a Senate Subcommittee hearing in San Francisco on organized crime in the United States. To improve his political standing in favor of holding for a Senate, Chalmers hopes to interrogate key state's witness Johnny Ross (Pat Renella), who has represented himself as a Chicago defector from the "organization". Chalmers hopes to introduce his "surprise" witness, whom he will question in the subcommittee's public hearings. At Chalmers's request, Ross is put under protective custody in Friday evening, supposed to be kept in for 3 days until Monday morning, when he is supposed to testify at court.
Lieutenant Frank Bullitt (Steve McQueen), Sgt Delgetti (Don Gordon) and Det. Carl Stanton (Carl Reindel), are assigned to give Ross around-the-clock protection at the Hotel Daniels, a cheap flophouse near the Embarcadero Freeway. Late Saturday night, Ross inexplicably unchains the hotel room door. Before his young police protector Stanton can react, a pair of hitmen(Paul Genge and Bill Hickman) burst into the room and shoot Stanton and Ross, seriously wounding both. Bullitt wants to investigate the shooting in the hotel, while Chalmers attempts to place blame for injury to his witness on Bullitt and the San Francisco P.D to avoid a media scandal. Soon enough, Bullitt thwarts a second assassination attempt on the hospitalized Ross, although he shortly dies of his wounds from the initial hotel-room shotgunning. Bullitt suppresses this news of his death, sneaking the man's body out of the hospital and sending it to the morgue as a John Doe, hoping to draw out the assassins.
Beginning the investigation anew, Bullitt goes to a confidential informant to get the "lowdown" on just who this Ross was and why a high priority mob hit had been ordered on him. Bullitt is also made suspicious by the fact that Ross had unchained the door to the hotel room just prior to the shooting. Ross had been apparently expecting someone whom he wanted to assist in entering his hotel room, but to Ross' surprise the intruders were a professional contract murder team. Bullitt learns the real reason for the hit on Ross from his North Beach informant. It turns out that the Organization has been looking for and trying to assassinate Johnny Ross for several days. They had first tried to kill him while he was still in Chicago. When that attempt failed, Ross fled unharmed to San Francisco. The West Coast mob is reportedly assisting with the Chicago Outfit in looking all over the city for Ross, and has all the transport outlets covered.
It is progressively revealed that the 'Ross' character is not who he has represented himself to be to Chalmers. Johnny Ross is not the low level mob technician who has come to Chalmers to testify. Ross is actually a high-ranked informant who stole two million dollars from the Outfit, and has came to San Francisco to seek help from Chalmers, but in reality, the deal is a flop; he is planning to escape from both the mob and the police.
As Bullitt reconstructs Ross's movements, he finds the cab driver Weissberg (Robert Duvall) who originally brought Ross to the Hotel Daniels. Bullitt is told by the cabbie that Ross had made both local and long distance calls from a pay phone before he was taken to the hotel. Long distance toll records from the pay phone revealed that 'Ross' had placed an inter-city toll call to a hotel room south of San Francisco. Bullitt picks up his 1968 Ford Mustang GT and sees he is being tailed by the same hitmen who killed Ross in their black 1968 Dodge Charger 500. He turns the tables and follows them, resulting in a protracted, visually dramatic car chase through the hills and streets of San Francisco. The chase ends when Bullitt forces their speeding car off the road and into a gas station, causing a fiery explosion which kills the hitmen. Back at the police station Bullitt is given until Monday morning to follow his remaining lead.
Bullitt heads to the hotel to which Ross had telephoned, where he finds the woman Ross had called still registered under the name Mrs. Dorothy Simmons, who has been graphically murdered. The dead woman, or someone, had had her luggage sent to the airport. After being examined by Bullitt and Delgetti, the contents of the dead woman's luggage begin the unraveling of the mystery. They find a pair of empty passport and airline ticket folders in each luggage set, plus brochures from a Chicago travel agency advertising a Rome vacation. The luggage clothing contents are also strange as well, they appear to be staged. All of the items are brand new, and have never been used or worn, with the price tags still attached or still inside of them. The man's shirts are personally monogrammed, A–R, which of course does not match the name Simmons. However, inside the pockets of each of the sets of clothing are found several thousands of dollars of travelers' checks, in multiple folders. The checks have been separately issued to and properly endorsed by, a Mr Albert Renick and a Mrs. Dorothy Renick. Bullitt tells Delgetti to contact Immigration Service in Chicago and obtain the photos and applications that their passports were issued under.
Bullitt comes to reason the events of the weekend into a coherent whole. Johnny Ross is an embezzler and had set in motion a scheme to get away with his thefts from the mob. From the beginning Ross knew that the mob, not the police, were his most important problem. He needed a way to have the mob stop looking for him, if he were to have any hope of actually getting away with his $2 million thefts. So Ross had recruited and paid the Renicks to have Albert Renick impersonate Johnny Ross as a man on-the-run in San Francisco, seeking protective custody in a Senate hearing, and turning state's evidence under police protection. Renick (as Ross), took the chain off the door of the hotel room to help his "kidnappers" (as he thought the plan was) make him disappear from police custody. The airline tickets and the traveler's checks in both Mr. and Mrs. Renick's names wrongly convinced them that they were to have a vacation in Rome.
Chalmers arrives at the morgue, demanding from Bullitt a signed admission that Ross died while in his custody. Bullitt demurs, and when the faxed copy of the Renicks' passport application photographs arrives, Chalmers is shown to have sent the police to protect the wrong man. Ross, and his older brother, had set Albert Renick up in order to be killed as "Johnny Ross" so the real Ross could escape both the mob and the police under a false name. Johnny then killed Dorothy Renick to silence her.
At the San Francisco airport a surveillance of passengers boarding the flight to Rome does not discover anyone resembling Ross/Renick. Bullitt guesses that Ross switched his ticket to an earlier international flight heading for London. He rapidly discovers that Ross has boarded and the London flight is taxiing toward takeoff. Chalmers makes one last attempt to use Ross for his own ends, which Bullitt moralistically rejects before pursuing Ross. A chase across the busy runways of San Francisco Airport ensues. Bullitt chases Ross back inside the crowded passenger terminal to a tense cat-and-mouse pursuit among the innocent throng. When Ross bolts and shoots a security guard, Bullitt shoots and kills him.
- Cast notes
- McQueen based the character of Frank Bullitt on San Francisco Inspector Dave Toschi, with whom he worked prior to filming.[7][8] McQueen even copied Toschi's unique "fast draw" shoulder holster. Toschi later became famous, along with Inspector Bill Armstrong, as the lead San Francisco investigators of the Zodiac Killer murders that began shortly after the release of Bullitt. Toschi is played by Mark Ruffalo in the film Zodiac, in which Paul Avery (Robert Downey, Jr.) mentions that "McQueen got the idea for the holster from Toschi".[8][9]
Car chase[edit]Edit[1][2]Bullitt burning rubber in the car chase scene.
At the time of the film's release, the car chase scene generated a great amount of excitement.[2] Leonard Maltin has called it a "now-classic car chase, one of the screen's all-time best."[3] Emanuel Levy wrote in 2003 that, "Bullitt contains one of the most exciting car chases in film history, a sequence that revolutionized Hollywood's standards."[4] In his obituary for Peter Yates, Bruce Weber wrote "Mr. Yates' reputation probably rests most securely on "Bullitt" (1968), his first American film – and indeed, on one particular scene, an extended car chase that instantly became a classic."[5] The editing of this scene likely won editor Frank P. Keller the Academy Award for Best Editing.[10]
Later, producer Philip D'Antoni filmed two more car chases for The French Connection and The Seven-Ups, both set and filmed in New York City.
The total time of the scene is 10 minutes and 53 seconds, beginning in the Fisherman's Wharf area at Columbus and Chestnut, followed by Midtown shooting on Hyde and Laguna Streets, with shots of Coit Tower and locations around and on Filbert and University Streets. The scene ends outside the city at the Guadalupe Canyon Parkway in Brisbane.[11]
Two 1968 390 V8 Ford Mustang GT fastbacks (325 hp) with four-speed manual transmissions were used for the chase scene, both loaned by the Ford Motor Company to Warner Bros. as part of a promotional agreement. The Mustangs' engines, brakes and suspensions were heavily modified for the chase by veteran car racer Max Balchowsky. Ford also originally loaned two Galaxie sedans for the chase scenes, but the producers found the cars too heavy for the jumps over the hills of San Francisco. They were replaced with two 1968 375 hp 440 Magnum V8-powered Dodge Chargers. The engines in both Chargers were left largely unmodified, but the suspensions were mildly upgraded to cope with the demands of the stunt work.[citation needed]
The director called for maximum speeds of about 75–80 miles per hour (121–130 km/h), but the cars (including the chase cars filming) at times reached speeds of over 110 miles per hour (180 km/h). Driver's point-of-view shots were used to give the audience a participant's feel of the chase. Filming took three weeks, resulting in 9 minutes and 42 seconds of pursuit, first of Bullitt by the hitmen then the reverse. Because of multiple takes spliced into a single end product, heavy damage on the passenger side of Bullitt's car can be seen much earlier than the incident producing it and the Charger loses five wheel covers, with different ones missing in different shots. Shooting from multiple angles simultaneously and creating a montage from the footage to give the illusion of different streets also resulted in the speeding cars passing the same cars at several different times. At one point the Charger crashes into the camera in one scene and the damaged front fender is noticeable in later scenes. Local authorities did not allow the car chase to be filmed on the Golden Gate Bridge, but did permit it in Midtown locations including the Mission District, and on the outskirts of neighboring Brisbane.[citation needed]
McQueen, an accomplished driver, drove in the close-up scenes, while stunt coordinator Carey Loftin hired stuntman and motorcycle racer Bud Ekins and McQueen's usual stunt driver Loren Janes for the high-speed part of the chase and other dangerous stunts.[12] Ekins, who doubled for McQueen in the The Great Escape sequence where McQueen's character jumps over a barbed wire fence on a motorcycle, also lays one down in front of a skidding truck during the Bullitt chase. The Mustang's interior rear view mirror goes up and down depending on who is driving; when the mirror is up McQueen is visible behind the wheel; when it is down Ekins is driving.
The black Dodge Charger was driven by veteran stunt driver Bill Hickman, who both played one of the hitmen and helped with the chase scene choreography. The other hitman was played by Paul Genge, who had ridden a Dodge off the road to his death in an episode of Perry Mason – "The Case of the Sausalito Sunrise" two years earlier. In a magazine article many years later, one of drivers involved in the chase sequence remarked that the stock Dodge 440s were so much faster than the Mustang that the drivers had to keep backing off the accelerator to prevent the Dodge from easily pulling away from the Mustang.[13]
One of the two Mustangs was scrapped after filming because of damage and liability concerns, while the other was sold to an employee of Warner Brothers.[14] The car changed hands several times, with McQueen at one point making an unsuccessful attempt to buy it in late 1977. The current state and location of the surviving Mustang is largely unknown, but it is rumored many times that the Mustang is kept in a barn in Ohio River Valley by an unknown owner.[15]
The editing of the car chase by Frank P. Keller likely won Keller the editing Oscar for 1968,[10] and has been included in lists of the "Best Editing Sequences of All-Time".[16] Paul Monaco has written, "The most compelling street footage of 1968, however, appeared in an entirely contrived sequence, with nary a hint of documentary feel about it – the car chase through the streets of San Francisco in Bullitt, created from footage shot over nearly five weeks. Billy Fraker, the cinematographer for the film, attributed the success of the chase sequence primarily to the work of the editor, Frank P. Keller. At the time, Keller was credited with cutting the piece in such a superb manner that he made the city of San Francisco a "character" in the film."[17] The editing of the scene was not without difficulties; Ralph Rosenblum wrote in 1979 that "those who care about such things may know that during the filming of the climactic chase scene in Bullitt, an out-of-control car filled with dummies tripped a wire which prematurely sent a costly set up in flames, and that editor Frank Keller salvaged the near-catastrophe with a clever and unusual juxtaposition of images that made the explosion appear to go off on time."[18] This chase scene has also been cited by critics as groundbreaking in its realism and originality.[19] In the release print and the print shown for many years, a scene in which the Charger actually hits the camera causing a red flare on screen, which many feel added to the realism, was edited out on DVD prints to the disappointment of many fans.
Soundtrack[edit]EditMain article: Bullitt (soundtrack)
The original score was composed by Lalo Schifrin.
Box office performance[edit]Edit
The film has garnered both critical acclaim and box office success. Produced on a $5.5 million budget, it grossed over $42.3 million in the United States,[1] making it the 5th highest grossing film of 1968.
Critical reception[edit]Edit
Bullitt was well received by critics and is considered by some as one of the best films of 1968.[20][21][22] Renata Adler made the film a NYT Critics Pick, saying its a "terrific movie, just right for Steve McQueen –fast, well acted, written the way people talk"; accord to Adler, "the ending should satisfy fans from Dragnet to Camus."[23]
In 2004, The New York Times placed the film on its list of The Best 1000 Movies Ever Made.[19] In 2011, Time magazine listed it among the "The 15 Greatest Movie Car Chases of All Time", describing it as "the one, the first, the granddaddy, the chase on the top of almost every list", and saying "Bullitt's car chase is a reminder that every great such scene is a triumph of editing as much as it is stunt work. Naturally, it won that year's Academy Award for Best Editing".[24] Among 21st century critics, it holds a 97% "Fresh" rating on Rotten Tomatoes, representing positive reviews from 32 of 33 critics as of October 2011.[25]
Awards and honors[edit]Edit
The film was nominated and won several critical awards.[26] Frank P. Keller won the Academy Award for Best Film Editing. The film was also nominated for Best Sound.[27] Bullitt was also nominated for several BAFTA Film Awards, including Best Director for Peter Yates, Best Supporting Actor for Robert Vaughn, Best Cinematography for William A. Fraker, Best Film Editing for Frank P. Keller, and Best Sound Track. Keller also won the American Cinema Editors Eddie Award for Best Edited Feature Film. The film was awarded the National Society of Film Critics Award for Best Cinematography (William A. Fraker) and the Golden Reel Award for Best Sound Editing – Feature Film. The film was also successful at the 1970 Laurel Awards. It won 2nd place Golden Laurel awards for Best Action Drama, Best Action Performance (Steve McQueen) and Best Female New Face (Jacqueline Bisset). In 2000, the Society of Camera Operators awarded Bullitt its "Historical Shot" award to David M. Walsh. Alan Trustman and Harry Kleiner won that year's Edgar Award for Best Mystery Screenplay.
The Ford Mustang name has been closely associated with the film. In 2001, the Ford Motor Company released the Bullitt edition Ford Mustang GT.[28] Another version of the Ford Mustang Bullitt, which is closer to resembling the original film Mustang, was released in 2008.[29]
Steve McQueen's likeness as Frank Bullitt was used in two Ford commercials. The first was for the Europe-only 2001 Ford Puma, which featured a special effects montage of McQueen (who died in 1980) driving a new Puma around San Francisco before parking it in a studio apartment garage beside the film Mustang and the motorcycle from The Great Escape.[30] In a 2004 commercial for the 2005 Mustang, special effects are again used to give the illusion McQueen drives the new Mustang after a man receives a Field of Dreams-style epiphany and constructs a racetrack in the middle of a cornfield. The famous chase scene was also recreated and implemented into the 2011 video game Driver: San Francisco.[31]
During the only season of the 2012 TV series Alcatraz Det. Rebecca Madsen (Sarah Jones) drove a green 1968 390 V8 Ford Mustang fastback like Bullitt's. In the series finale she found herself in a 2013 Ford Mustang GT, the modern equivalent of the 1968 fastback, giving chase to a black LX Dodge Charger driven by series antagonist Thomas "Tommy" Madsen (David Hoflin). The sequence played homage to portions of Bullitt's, including Madsen buckling the seatbelt in his Charger before starting and two passes by a green Volkswagen Beetle.

Details released for 'M' by ex-Gaucho MD
M will be located in a 15,000sq.ft space on Threadneedle Walk. The venue will include two 100-cover restaurants, a wine tasting bar, a cocktail bar, private dining rooms, event spaces and a secret den.
It is the first solo venture by Williams, who has assigned Francesco Cappucci (formerly of Corinthia Hotel and Cecconi's) as restaurant director and Mike Reid (head Chef at Jardin Tan) as executive chef.
Kobe beef and Blackmore Wagyu
M's menus will include a range of steaks and it will be the first restaurant in Europe to serve grade 10++ Japanese Kobe beef and Australian Blackmore Wagyu beef.
"I've travelled the world and worked with a lot of beef in my life," said Williams. "For me, Japanese and Australian beef are the best in the world.
"In Kobe and Blackmore Wagyu, I have selected the two producers which are at the very top of their industry and are unrivalled in quality. They are in a league of their own and we can't wait to bring them to diners' plates in London."
The Kobe beef will cost £150 for 150g of the fillet, while the Blackmore will cost £120 for 200g of the sirloin.
M Grill
M will include an international grill restaurant that will specialise in steak cuts from six selected countries around the world. It will also offer a range of exotic meats such as crocodile and kangaroo.
The grill area will feature a 'walk-in aging room' where butchers will offer master classes in beef. Guests will also be able to select the precise cut and size of steak that they want.
"At M Grill, I wanted to select only one steak from six different countries to bring a potential planet of steak to our guests' plates," explained Williams. "The range of steaks is the finest and includes our favourite cuts from the USA, Argentina, France, Botswana, Australia and Japan.
"The French Onglet and Argentine Rump Steaks are both priced well under £20, as I wanted to keep the restaurant prices very accessible. Though if customers want to blow the budget and taste something completely unique and thus far not offered in London, we can accommodate for that too."
M will also house the Tartare and Tiradito Bar which will serve a selection of tartares, sashimi, pulsing salads, cured and smoked dishes and yakitori.

Quick and Dirty
No matter what brand of bearing (low or high cost, etc.) you are purchasing, the vast percentage is in your favor to get the same seal or shield material from any company. The reason is that the material is fairly cheap. Some variation of NBR (Nitrile) rubber is going to be the main part of the seal. The metal insert is going to be some variation of cheap sheet steel.
The Nitty
First and foremost, standard seals and shields are just fine for the bicycle industry. The temperatures that bicycles see are well within standard parameters [~-40°F to ~210°F]. Higher end materials obviously do exist, but ask yourself what you are getting out of it before spending the money. Viton, for example, is a great seal material. A significant reason to switch to Viton is for a higher temperature rating, but this is in the hundreds of degrees of Fahrenheit [~-15°F to ~440°F]. Another reason to use Viton or another seal material could be durability. Some may think this makes sense for the bicycle industry; we say, 'go for it' if it makes you feel better. But be sure to ask yourself 'how exposed are the bearings?' 'Can you see them from the outside of your bike before disassembly?' If the answer is no, then what extra durability is needed to handle some water or other dust size contaminants? The effectiveness of the bicycle part design itself will do much more to protect and increase the life of the bearing than the seal material will.
Seal Contact
Furthermore! A major aspect of seal effectiveness is the contact level. Verinent, for example, offers two levels of contact: Light (RS) and Heavy (RH). The heavy contact seal is going to do a better job against splashing liquids and fine dust ultimately resulting in a prolonged life of the bearing. Although, the tradeoff is rolling resistance. Expect rolling resistance from a heavy contact sealed bearing (at least for the first 10-15 hours). Any and all seals, rubber/Viton/etc., will 'break in' to a certain extent and reduce some of the rolling resistance over time. Shields do not have this issue because shields are always non-contact.
Seals vs. Shields
Verinent defines a shield by metal and a seal by rubber vs. contact and non-contact. The reasoning behind this is simple – rubber seals can be non-contact (RZ) as well. Simply defining shields by 'metallic' and most other materials by seals keeps it simple and reduces confusion. If you demand it, a step deeper could be rigid vs. malleable. This is because a PEEK, or PTFE material would also be considered a shield, not a seal. These materials are very hard and function the same as a metallic shield rather than a rubber seal.
For the bicycle industry, we would generally advise to use the RS light contact seal. The reasoning is that you get some contact seal protection, without much resistance (won't be noticed). If you prefer cyclocross or mountain biking through rivers in a torrential downpour, then go with the RH seal. Just take the bike for a few rides before taking part in any competitions. This will ensure that the initial break in period is past before needing to count the seconds of your win.

Yoga for children is very close to my heart, as I have seen first-hand how it has helped me throughout my life. My Mam taught me meditation and breath-work as a child, breathing slowly, mindfully, and working my way from my toes to my head until I fell asleep. Such a wise, intuitive woman! My intro to the physical yoga practice began when I found one of my Gran's yoga books from the 70's and found shoulder stands aid in digestion (of course when your stomach isn't too full). As a highly sensitive and somewhat anxious child, as we see with many children today, my little yoga practice became a way for me to process and retreat. Children today are overwhelmed with so much to do, to achieve, social media, and aren't getting the much needed time to sit with their thoughts, emotions, be bored and thus get creative.
The best part of yoga, breath-work (pranayama) & mediation (mindfulness) – you can practice, anywhere, anytime! This self practice is such a gift and can help transform lives, as many parents and teachers have seen. Yoga means 'oneness' – with ourselves and others. It's non-denominational and a personal journey. The purpose of Studio 202 ~ Community for Inspired Living is to nurture this connection to ourselves and others, allowing our creativity and strengths to shine. Our kids program, EMPOWER was created to help nurture the whole child – emotionally, socially, physically and mentally. Simply offering a child the opportunity to sit in peace without any distractions and to feel their breath is a wonderful beginning to this practice, and can offer great peace.
Below we explore the top 5 benefits of yoga for kids:
- Improve Physical Health
Yoga for children is taught through age appropriate games, working on balance, flexibility, strength & endurance. We need to move our bodies! We are not designed to be sitting all day. When we move, we need more breath. More breath leads to better blood flow to keep our minds alert and our bodies healthy! Through breath, we also release toxins and emotions.
- Support Emotional Health
Through movement, we also release all sorts of chemicals to bring our bodies into a naturally healthy state, including:
- Serotonin – happy hormone
- Norepinephrine – alertness & memory
- BDNF – brain-derived neurotrophic factor to help build new connections
- Dopamine – motivation & reward hormone
- Endorphins – feel-good chemical
In addition, breath-work and movement help us to release our stored emotions and stress, and be able to look at situations objectively and with clarity to make better decisions.
- Improve Energy & Focus
Exercise and breath-work makes us feel good! The norepinephrine helps us to stay alert to learn and work. By getting little bits of exercise throughout the day we function better. Try taking a break every hour to move, do jumping-jacks, whatever makes you feel good!
When we are happy, we are in a receptive state to learn and grow. The mix of hormones mentioned above, work together us stay motivated and interested… as does learning and doing something meaningful, but sometimes we have to do the not-so fun stuff to get to the fun stuff!
- Self-Empowerment, Confidence & Intuitive-Skills
It's empowering to understand ourselves and our bodies! We are very complex creatures, and by practicing breath-work and mindfulness through art, games, movement and more, we are able to better understand ourselves, see our talents, and things we can work on. Being able to overcome challenges is particularly rewarding and further builds our confidence and intuition.
- Encourages Greater Self Awareness & Understanding of Others
By understand ourselves, our emotions and how we communicate, we also become more mindful of others. While we are all connected, it is empowering to recognize we all have our own little worlds. And sometimes when something is not right in our world, we can react poorly. When we are mindful, we are better at managing our communication and emotions. Understanding this also helps us help others when they react poorly. We learn our boundaries, what feels healthy and not healthy for us, and how to effectively communicate this. It's humbling and teaches us to be kind to ourselves, and be kind to others.
For more information on our approach and classes we offer at the studio, please visit our Kids Yoga page. If you are interested in having us offer our EMPOWER yoga + mindfulness program at your child's school, please email: email@example.com
By giving your child the gift to better connect with themselves,
you have given them a tool they will have for the rest of their lives!

The UN and the US government have blacklisted a Filipino and two other Southeast Asian men who appeared in an Islamic State beheading video.
Mohammad Reza Lahaman Kiram, aged 28 from Zamboanga City, is now "subject to assets freeze, travel ban and arms embargo", the UN said in a press release yesterday (Friday, August 24).
Kiram is believed to have travelled to Syria with his wife and daughter in 2015. He was seen in a 2016 IS video beheading captives. He has also been linked to a bus bombing in Zamboanga City in 2012.
The UN said Kiram was now a senior member of IS, along with Malaysian Mohamad Rafi Udin and Indonesian Mohammed Karim Yusop Faiz, who have also been sanctioned.
The two were also featured in a beheading video and had undertaken recruitment activities, the UN and the US government said.
In placing them on its sanctions list, the UN also mandates all member states, including the Philippines, to "expeditiously exchange information " on the terrorists, freeze their assets, deny them access to the international financial system, and prohibit their travel or relocation.
In a press release yesterday, the US Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control placed the three on its list of "Specially Designated Global Terrorists".
"As a result of today's action, all property and interests in property of Udin, Faiz, and Karim subject to US jurisdiction are blocked, and US persons are generally prohibited from engaging in transactions with them," Sigal Mandelker, treasury undersecretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence, said in a statement.
The three now join thousands of individuals, including Filipinos, on the UN and US anti-terror blacklists.
Earlier this year, they blacklisted Abdulpatta Escalon Abubakar, who is believed to have followed orders from slain terrorist leader Isnilon Hapilon.
Hapilon, an Abu Sayyaf leader who pledged allegiance to IS in 2016 and became the group's 'emir' in Southeast Asia, was killed during the siege of Marawi City last October. As we reported in March, his replacement has been named as militant Abu Dhar.

Now that we're back home, I wanted to reflect on our epic Scotland trip and share some final thoughts and recommendations. In no particular order:
Castles Galore. I speculated in this blog posting that Scotland has more castles than whisky distilleries. Turns out that's a true fact. We saw and/or visited twelve of them—almost (but not quite) one per day, though well short of the more than 2,000 castles in Scotland. The ones we checked off the list: Balvenie, Doune, Duart, Edinburgh, Eilean Donan, Glengorm, Inverness, Midhope, Mingary, Stalker, Stirling and Urquhart.
Miles Galore. With a ton of sightseeing packed into most days, we did lots of walking—we couldn't avoid it. I tallied the number of steps and miles recorded by my phone over the course of our two-week trip, and the total number is astounding, considering that a six-year-old child walked every step with us: 182,381 steps, or nearly 73 miles!
Packing Cubes. We moved around quite a bit on this trip, staying in six different B&Bs. That made packing—and the ability to quickly and easily unpack and repack—very important. We followed the common advice to use packing cubes, which made it easy to stay organized and keep from having to unpack half the suitcase to find one shirt. We bought Pro Packing Cubes, which I'd definitely recommend.
Explorer Pass. If you plan to visit more than a couple of castles, by all means check out the Explorer Pass. This gets you into more than 70 of the most popular tourist attractions in Scotland. We paid the family rate of £84 for the seven-day pass. If we'd paid separately at each of the castles we visited that were covered by the pass, we would have spent £122.
Offline Google Maps. I used Google Maps everywhere we went, and though I am generally excellent with navigation, I probably would have gotten us horribly lost every day without GPS. We didn't want to get gouged by our cell phone provider for data, so we kept our phones in airplane mode the entire two weeks. But Google Maps allows you to download maps to your smartphone and then use the app offline as you normally would over a cellular network. This was a lifesaver for us.
Single-Track Roads. Two lanes constitute a major highway in Scotland, and most highways are only one lane. When you get away from highly trafficked areas, however, most roads are single-track: that is, a single car-width lane used by cars going in both directions. This sounds daunting, but "passing places"—a widening of the road where cars can pass each other—are generally placed every few hundred feet. It took a little getting used to, but didn't end up being a big deal. Here's a video showing how to drive on single-track roads.
Average Speed Cameras. Speaking of driving, the UK has speed cameras. This isn't new, but what is relatively new is "average speed cameras." I kept seeing "average speed" on the road signs that noted speed cameras, and eventually learned that these cameras record your license plate info at each checkpoint and calculate your average speed between two or more checkpoints. If your speed averages out higher than the speed limit, congratulations—you just earned a fine. This prevents abuse by people who would slow down for the camera and then speed up again. I learned this rather late in our trip, so I'd be surprised if the rental car company doesn't forward some fines my way.
Photography. Speaking of cameras, all of the photos you see in this blog were shot with the iPhone 8 Plus. I hauled my DSLR along when we went to Iceland, and frankly I find it annoying to carry such a big piece of equipment. These days, smartphones take great photos, and the iPhone 8 Plus has one of the best cameras of any smartphone. And it's really easy to carry!
Top Sheets. We noticed in Iceland and again in Scotland that people don't generally use top sheets (I'm not sure whether this is a general European practice). The beds in our Airbnb rentals had fitted sheets on the mattresses and then a duvet on top. This confused us the first time we encountered it ("where's the sheet?"), but I think it's way more efficient than including a top sheet. First, you don't have an extra piece of bedding to arrange or get tangled up in. Second, you avoid the debate of which side of a patterned top sheet goes face up. Third, it's simply more cozy. Note to future guests: the Strickland household may adopt this practice.
Roundabouts. Speaking of efficiency, roundabouts get two thumbs up from me. They get a bad rap from Americans who are too dumb to understand how to use them, but they do a much better job at regulating traffic than traffic lights.
Contactless Credit Cards. And one more observation under the theme of efficiency. It's no secret that the US has long lagged behind Europe in terms of financial technology (and in many other areas, but I won't start a political debate here). They've had chips in their credit cards for ages, while we just got them in the last few years. They now have "contactless" credit cards, where you simply tap your card on a card reader and then go on your merry way. No insertion or swipe of card, no PIN to enter, no slip of paper to sign, no waiting for the transaction to process. Just tap and go. We'll get there. By the year 2030, I'm sure.
We had an amazing trip. Thanks again for coming along with us.

A Serious Wake-Up Call
Christendom Awake: On Reenergizing the Church in Culture
by Aidan Nichols, O.P.
Grand Rapids, Michigan: Eerdmans, 1999
(255 pages; $28.00, paper)
by Leon J. Podles
The Dominican Aidan Nichols in Christendom Awake analyzes the current state of Roman Catholicism and suggests ways in which the Church might recover the strength to transform society (especially English society) to such an extent that Europe could once again be called Christendom. He realizes he might appear quixotic, but claims that both the commission to teach all nations and the virtue of hope compel us to work toward a Christian society rather than to be content with life in a Christian ghetto. . . .

The bill is coming due, and Henderson County leaders would be wise to pay it.
The School Board on Dec. 11 presented county commissioners with a list of 173 building upkeep projects that need attention.
These include bleachers at Hendersonville High that no longer meet federal safety guidelines, decrepit leaking plumbing at Balfour Education Center and a chimney at East Henderson High that is falling down.
School leaders say the seven-page list doesn't include all the needs for the county's 21 public schools and central office. Rather, these are projects that either need immediate attention or were cut from previous budgets.
The list includes repairs and renovations estimated at almost $4.2 million. That is a hefty chunk of change for a county also facing $2.6 million in cost overruns to build new schools at Mills River and Hillandale, and no immediate source to pay for those projects, which now top $31 million.
Commissioners told parents and the communities last year they would replace the two aging schools, which were originally set to be replaced in a 1997 school bond referendum that voters shot down. Last month voters torpedoed a referendum to triple the tax on deed transfers of real estate to .4 percent. That would have generated an estimated $4 million annually to finance new school construction.
Soon commissioners will decide whether to ask voters to approve a quarter-cent local option sales tax. That would generate an estimated $2 million, only about half the amount needed to finance the Mills River and Hillandale projects. The rest will have to come from increases in property taxes, cuts in county departments and services or a combination of both.
Despite the fiscal crunch, commissioners should find a way to pay as much of the school system's budget request for upkeep as possible.
Superintendent Stephen Page told commissioners that principals are "tolerating things that you would never tolerate in your own home, in your own business, down in your own offices."
"Everything they've asked for you can verify," Page said. "I don't believe you can take anything on this list and not go out and find it and agree that it needs to be repaired."
School leaders are not asking for the entire $4.2 million all at once. The School Board asked for $3.6 million for upkeep this year, later cut the request to $2.8 million and ended up getting $2 million from the county.
"We can't do half of this at one time," School Board Chairman Ervin Bazzle said. "What we have to do is come up with some plan of how we're going to address the ongoing maintenance needs as we grow our schools."
The list includes $65,000 to replace single pane windows in the upstairs at Edneyville Elementary, which will help cut energy costs. Other requests include $84,000 to paint 28 classrooms at Upward Elementary, $75,000 to renovate an outdated shop area into classroom and computer lab space and $100,000 to renovate the cafeteria at West Henderson, where the kitchen dates from 1960.
True, the sky won't fall if the county doesn't come up with all the money at once, and as Bazzle says, the schools couldn't make all the repairs at once if they had the money. But school leaders have made a forthright appeal early in the county's budget-drafting process for a reason.
Commissioners will crunch all the numbers during a retreat next month. They made a significant commitment to schools Wednesday when they budgeted $3.56 million to complete major renovations at Dana Elementary originally estimated to cost $2.5 million.
We do not envy county leaders as they face the tough financial issues of trying to build new schools and maintain the ones they already have -- especially when the voters have spoken so decisively against the proposed tax to pay for schools. But commissioners shouldn't compound problems by skimping on maintenance and upkeep.
They need to make the case that fixing and modernizing the facilities we have is the fiscally conservative approach. Just like with new construction, the bill only grows larger the longer they wait.

Trevor (of the Haligonian Millar Clan) once said that he would hang up on anyone who went to the other line to answer a beep for more than 20 seconds. If they took more time than that, they weren't his friend. I wonder what he would say to being on hold for two months?
The boys at three.roads have inspired me to continue to write about my running experiences. It is in the day in day out world of training that the breakthroughs occur. Some of the malaise in my writing comes from the idea that I would bore people about the daily rigours of putting one foot in front of another, but sometimes there are moments that make the grind something grander.
Heading out in the rain is not one of my favourite things, but, as I tell people who come into the store looking for waterproof jackets to run in, once you are out running you will be wet from rain or sweat at which point nothing else matters. It is the process of getting wet that frightens me, but once I am soaked through it's great.
I tried avoiding the raindrops at Gowlland Tod provincial park today. I was thinking of taking Club Mud out there next week, but in my absence, I swear that the park grew a hill. When starting from McKenzie Bight, the Timberman Trail has a 15 minute climb to welcome you to your run. I was expecting more storm damage, but not expecting the hill to be bigger than my memory recalled. About halfway up I heeded the latent concern I heard in Rozee's voice when mentioning that we were going to Gowlland Tod next week, and decided that we would not make that the second trail run for the group. We will come back to it.
I ran out Jocelyn Hill where I enjoyed a spectacular view of the inlet (I believe it is the Saanich inlet, but I am not sure - it divides the peninsula from the Malahat). As I emerged from the forest I stood above cloud that looked to be falling in on itself, floating downward toward the water, as though the ocean itself was inhaling. The sky was a West Coast winter grey and the rain seemed to pause in the air for that minute, holding its position so that I alone could absorb the phenomenon. It was at that moment that I was happy that the rain had permeated me.
I ran out, a little lighter for the experience, finishing my visit and paying respect to the fallen trees.

FieldPoint Petroleum Corporation (NYSE/MKT:FPP) today provided an update on the latest production information from its recently completed East Lusk Federal 15 well #2 in Lea County, New Mexico.
FieldPoint's President and CEO, Ray Reaves stated, "The last data we provided on this well was through September 12. From September 13 through September 17, well production in BOPD was 705, 914, 664, 795, and 827 respectively, and we continue to sell between 360 to 500 mcf per day. We will, of course, continue to watch this well with continued interest but we hope that soon we can turn our attention more to the drilling of well #3 on this property and our other exploration and acquisition activities."
Mr. Reaves added, "If production and the price of oil holds, we believe we will see a smart increase in total revenue year over year. Accordingly, I am projecting that our 2012 revenues could be between $9.5 and $10.8 million compared to $7.2 million for 2011."
As a reminder, FieldPoint owns a 43.75% working interest in well #2, and will own the same percentage of well #3 in section 15 of this field.

I ran out to the Neathermead, but by the time I got there, it had traveled out of sight. Huge raptor being mobbed by something small and angry. Young, dark bird with limited, blotchy white in wings. Wings were long and straight, with long fingers. "

Sit Down and Dialogue with Yourself is about finding, listening to, and giving voice to the many internal voices that come from the varying self-states that comprise that vital subjective core of authentic self expression that is the center of the complex entity that we call "me". In this book we explore the centrally important psychological, motivational, emotional, and interpersonal processes involved in the development and practice of real-self expression.
To purchase click on either of the URL links below:
In The Trauma of Shame and the Making of the Self, we focus specifically on the nature and dynamics of shame and on how much shame comes to be involved in structuring our sense of who we are. At toxic levels shame inhibits real-self expression and its nagging voices of self-criticism can cripple our basic abilities to self-sooth. It can also stifle our sense of creativity, inhibit our capacity for intimacy, and limit both our sense of autonomy as well as our tendencies toward healthy inter-independence with others. Here we discuss the process of mollifying the impact of both present and past feelings of shame and explore how we may move toward greater real-self expression.
Many books on shame and the process of healing have been written, but few have been written specifically from a psychodynamic depth psychology perspective. It is intended that The Trauma of Shame and The Making of the Self will make an important contribution to that effort.
To purchase click on either of the URL links below:
In Letting Go and Taking the Chance to be Real we ask the question of: "Who are we really?" The image we have of who we are, of who we would like to be, and of who we are told we are by others is a sense composed of various images which we strive to integrate and which changes over the years. This sense of self begins in childhood and grows (or is stunted) through experimenting and testing in our earliest relationships and in later relationships in life. Expression of our core "real self", however takes courage. Many of us are afraid to take the chance at real self expression for fear of failure or ridicule, leaving us to feel unsatisfied and misunderstood. This book was written for those seeking to find a deeper insight into how to live more consciously in one's fullest potential. It combines several years of personal and clinical experience and authentic in-depth examples of how to grow past childhood woundings and begin to express the strivings and desires of our real self. Letting Go and Taking the Chance to be Real is about the processes involved in becoming real again or perhaps for the first time. This book is for the all persons interested in personal growth and the enhancement of real-self expression.

Central Asia: Fostering a Culture of Human Rights
The Fostering a Culture of Human Rights in Central Asia project, funded by European Initiative for Democracy and Human Rights (EIDHR) funds, aims at advancing the rights of women in Central Asia by equipping journalists with the skills necessary to raise awareness of their situation and hold policy-makers to account. Concurrently, the project, which focuses on Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan, builds the capacity of civil society organizations to develop and disseminate key messages to vulnerable groups. IREX Europe is implementing the project as part of a consortium led by the BBC World Service Trust.
The Central Asian republics have witnessed a major decline in living standards over the past decade. On a range of indicators, the status of women has declined during the recent economic and political transitions. A 2002 World Bank report commented, "The relative feminisation of poverty, gender-based job discrimination, loss of state support for child care, deteriorating maternal health care, poor political representation, gender-based violence, and the dramatic increase in trafficking of women have emerged as serious issues that impact gender relations and warrant immediate attention."
Despite these pressing concerns, media coverage of women's and children's issues is often insensitive and judgmental, with commentators resorting to stereotypes and clichés. Basic journalistic principles, for example of privacy and dignity for victims of child abuse and trafficking, are too often ignored. Furthermore, local media run increasingly explicit advertisements for the sex industry and agencies promising lucrative work overseas. The media's ability to play an effective role in raising awareness of key issues affecting women and children in Central Asia is undermined further by the poor quality of information provided by the civil society sector.
Project Activities
- Training workshops for journalists, focused on the challenges of presenting women's and children's issues to a broad audience.
- Onsite consultancy visits to media outlets to institutionalise improved coverage of key issues, with particular emphasis on programme formats.
- Media outreach training to enhance the ability of human rights defenders to get key messages to target groups, both through mainstream media and through informal networks.
- Co-production of media outputs focusing on women's and children's issues.
- Development of dissemination network to tap into a network of informal "media" outlets such as PA systems in public places and street theatre groups.
- Development of online resources to support the wider training programme.

20th Century Fox
George C. Scott stars in a pre-Patton movie role as Mordecai Jones (the Flim-Flam Man) in this train-laced comedy filmed mostly in the state of Kentucky. Louisville & Nashville Railroad (L&N) provided most of the train scenes with Chesapeake & Ohio Railway (C&O) featuring a quick passenger train cameo. Oh, that VHS video box image above? I chose it for its pure cheesiness.
This is another flick I reviewed by popular demand (regards to Dale and Robert!). The movie starts right off getting up close and personal with an L&N Alco RS3 #138 on a way freight during the opening credits.
Come along and we'll explore the Bluegrass State railroad influence of this mid-sixties confidence game extravaganza.
Engineman waves a "come-ahead" from the long nose end of L&N Alco RS3 #138 (built in 1954). Nice light package including classification lights, white "extra" flags and angled number boards.
For comparison, I include a 3/4 image of sister engine L&N #140 in the snow. These locomotives were set up to run long nose forward for better crew protection in the event of a grade crossing collision.
Many apologies for the terribly fuzzy screen captures in this review.
Opening shots of an L&N way freight as a trainman rides the front steps to put their train together.
As the freight leaves town, Curley (an Army deserter played by Michael Sarrazin) is astonished to see Mordecai unceremoniously tossed from his side-door Pullman.
Out of curiosity, Curley bails off the slow-moving freight to investigate.
All the opening credit shots were taken at Paynes Depot, Kentucky.
After the way freight departs town, Curley leads Mordecai across the tracks and down to an abandoned caboose where he had been holed up for the last couple days (avoiding the Military Police). Behind Curley, you can just make out the cupola windows on the car.
The caboose (on its side and off the tracks) is L&N #934. Also note the C.T.C. signals in the first image.
For some reason, the filmmakers threw in a distant shot of a C&O yellow and blue nicely-matched streamliner with EMD E units on the point.
The location is Midway, Kentucky and according to my October 1963 Official Guide of the Railways, this is either C&O train 21 or 22, the Louisville, Kentucky section of the "George Washington" from Washington, D.C.
After pulling a con in the town's store (the old Three Card Monte scam), the boys are back at the caboose having lunch and a wee drop of whiskey. Eventually, the townsfolk realize they've been had and chase Mordecai & Curley out of their hiding place.
The caboose, trestle and stream scene was filmed in Frankfort, Kentucky at the Old Crow Distillery on Glenns Creek Road.
The boys finally lose their pursuers at what looks like an old abandoned railroad depot. No idea of the location – perhaps the above Old Crow site?
MUCH PLOT LEFT OFF HERE including a spectacular car chase in a red Plymouth Valiant convertible.
SURPRISE! There is a THIRD railroad depicted in this movie. Here we see a Southern Railway EMD high-nose Geep pulling one box car in the path of the speeding convertible.
These scenes (and the car chase) were filmed in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky. Again referring to my Official Guide, Southern was the only railroad to serve Lawrenceburg. All SOU reporting marks have been carefully painted out on the engine and box car — methinks Southern Rwy. didn't want to be too closely associated with this picture.
Mordecai & Curley find themselves once more trackside — with a moonshiner's truck loaded with White Lightning! With all road exits blocked by the sheriff, the boys back the truck onto the rails, let a little air out of the tires and make their escape as a Hi-Rail.
Their escape down the tracks is so serene, they fail to notice the oncoming train (looks like that L&N RS3 again). At a conveniently-placed crossing, Mordecai yanks the truck off the rails at the last minute.
It has nothing to do with the train bits, but lovely Sue Lyon as Bonnie Lee Packard (rawr-RAWR!) flashes her baby blues at Curley. Cheesecake interlude….
Okay, back to the action. I cannot resist this picture of Curley with his plunger holding everyone at bay just long enough for his new friend Mordecai to escape by bicycle…to the railroad tracks, naturally.
Of course, a train comes along IMMEDIATELY for Mordecai to hitch a ride (how come that never happens when I go railfanning?) as the credits roll.
This appears to be an L&N EMD Geep 9 or something instead of the previously-used Alco with a modern yellow caboose bringing up the rear.
I want to thank whomever posted the movie locations in Imdb for The Flim-Flam Man as it really helped with identification and context of the railroad scenes.
A pretty good movie! Three different railroads represented and mostly filmed in a State not normally associated with movie making.
Here's what IMDb has to say about The Flim-Flam Man:

Malls are undergoing a significant and rapid change. As the way consumers shop changes, malls are losing the big department stores that were their traditional long-term tenants. While that news isn't great for mall owners, it can be good news for small business owners.
Vacant retail space in malls is detrimental to communities, which lost jobs for residents, as well as income from retail sales tax. Mall owners as well as city leaders, of course, want to fill these empty spaces.
Here are 5 things Global Resources LLC experts predict will fill vacant mall space, and ways both retail and non-retail businesses can take advantage of them.
Rental or Resale Shop
According to research, alternatives to traditional retail (rental and resale) will take billions of dollars in spending from traditional retail channels by 2023. While rental and resale businesses may not make enough money to support rents in large shopping centers, open spaces in strip malls could mean greater opportunity.
Pop-up Shops
Pop-up stores in malls and shopping centers will become increasingly popular as a method of satisfying consumers' desire for new experiences. If you own an eCommerce business, you could use a pop-up shop to link up with local customers in person, build excitement about a new product line or limited-term product release, or satisfy the demand for your product/service during the holidays.
Limited-time events are another way malls will use empty space. Both retail and non-retail businesses can exploit this trend. For example, an apparel retailer could host a back-to-school fashion show for youngsters. There are ways for you to find out what events are planned at your local mall and how your business could be a part of them.
Service Businesses
Consumer spending on products (as opposed to services) dropped significantly between 2000 and 2017. This will most likely continue later than 2020 since consumers will spend billions of dollars more on discretionary services. Generally speaking, more malls will fill vacancies with service providers so shoppers can handle more of their needs with one trip. Malls with mixed-use retail and residential space offer a great deal of potential for service businesses. Those residents need services such as hair and nail salons, pet grooming services, and more.
Office Space
Certain empty spaces in shopping centers will be converted to offices or co-working spaces. This could be an opportunity for you to buy desirable commercial office space. The convenience of working in a mall location could even help you attract and keep employees.

How to Start a Door to Door Delivery Service for Sports Equipment
According to business dictionary, door to door delivery is the transport of goods from the point of origin to the point of sale. With the concept beginning several centuries ago few companies have managed to crack the market. For instance, a few companies had a glamorous start, but they all fell years later. This was because of so many factors, so what does it take to create a successful door to door delivery service? Well here are five tips to help you start a successful door to door service.
Identify the Products You Wish to Ship
The first rule of any business is always to identify your product and door to door service is not different. This will help you create a reliable supplier for your products. It will also help you prepare your warehouse to store some of these products. It will be poor judgment on your end to open an ice-cream delivery service if you have not invested in freezers.
Buy a Delivery Truck
Purchase an affordable delivery truck that will safely hold and transport your products to any location. You will also need to take an insurance policy that will cover your car, driver, and products. Additionally, have all your personnel covered by an insurance policy due to any injury that may occur in their work environment.
Building a credible network will take you from an okay delivery company to a reliable company. Nobody will entrust his product to be shipped by a company that has poor reviews. Also, take time to learn about your target market and how to solve unexpected pitfalls. Lastly, attend and book a position for delivery expos, here you will interact and learn on how to move to the next level.
Accumulate Reliable Clients
Since your job will concern door to door deliveries, take some time to communicate with your neighbors and church groups. Once you make a delivery, always request the client to give you his thoughts on your services. Furthermore, invest in internet marketing – create a business site and start marketing your company. With the growth of e-commerce, many companies failed to adapt and embrace internet marketing, and they paid dearly, learn from their mistakes.
Have a Comprehensive Plan
Before starting your company create a business plan. Take a case study, a grocery delivery company had a glamorous start in 1999, but two years later it filed for bankruptcy. Why? Well, Wikipedia suggests that this company failed because their business targeted people who were price sensitive, unlike the upmarket customer. Let it include your capital, vision, and mission. Determine the demand and supply for your niche and check whether you can get a profitable margin.
Starting a door to door delivery service is quite challenging, but nothing is simple. What does it take to create a successful delivery company? Well, you will need to create an extensive business plan where you need to consider your profit margin and your startup capital.
Additionally, you need to purchase trucks and invest your time in attending seminars and expos. This will help you identify several pitfalls and how to bypass them. If you follow these basic steps of creating a successful door to door service, then you have made it halfway.

Bach: Brandenburg Concertos 6 To 1
In a strange twist of fate, the Brandenburg Concertos have come to be named after an aristocrat who didn't particularly want them and never actually heard them. The six concertos form a master anthology, a demonstration of all the imaginable possibilities inherent in a given musical form. Each concerto calls for a different combination of soloists, every one innovative and unprecedented in its choice of instruments. Florilegium uniquely performs them in reverse of the numbered order, ending with the triumphant first concerto combining wind, strings and brass.

Residents in Mill O' Mains are hoping to finally have a new community meeting place – after plans were lodged for a replacement for their fire-hit pavilion.
The city council is set to consider proposals to install a series of temporary modular units on the site of the former building on Hebrides Drive.
The pavilion burned down in summer last year in a fire which was thought to have been started deliberately.
Since then community groups have been forced to meet in other accommodation, including a sheltered housing complex.
The plans have been lodged by Mill O' Mains Action Group.
Yvonne Mullen, chairwoman of Mill O' Mains Pavilion, says she still hopes to get a permanent structure eventually – but welcomed this latest development.
"Once the planning permission goes through, the buildings will be put in place and then it's all go from there," she said. "Hopefully, the people who said they were willing to help us at the beginning, after the fire, are still willing to help us – that would be great.
"We were hoping to be in place for the October holidays. We did hope to be in for summer holidays but that didn't happen.
"We fed the children all summer, every day. We fed them in the park, we were that lucky to have such good weather so we could feed them outside.
"But in October we won't be able to feed them outside – we need our own building so we can give them breakfasts and lunches."
Yvonne said it was "very important" for the community to have its own building.
"Pensioners need their own place they can go to for crafts, their dominoes, and their games night," she added.
"There is no youth group at the moment because we cannot take youths into the building just now, because it's a pensioners' complex, so the youths are being neglected at the moment.
"But we're trying to bring them back in now and rope them into doing things, so that's one of the groups we're hoping to bring back in.
"The children are actually playing dangerous games at the moment, and now that the nights are getting darker we're really worried, because they're playing on the roads with their little toy cars, their bikes and their scooters."
