Nominated for an Academy Award for Best Music, The Princess Bride should’ve been awarded the designation of best comedy of the year. Having built a large cult following since its 1987 release, The Princess Bride continues to entertain whole new generations of fans. Its enduring tale and timeless humor are certain to cement its place among the hallowed halls of the movie classic elites. The Princess Bride is one of the few movies that every person absolutely should see – if you miss it, then you’ll miss out on an entire world of fun…
When a kindly old grandfather (Peter Falk) reads a story to his grandson (Fred Savage), his grandson is in for the story of a lifetime… The Princess Bride follows the story of the beautiful maiden, Buttercup (Robin Wright), who falls in love with a poor stable boy named Westley (Cary Elwes). But the two are torn apart when Westley is captured by a band of pirates, and Buttercup is kidnapped by the evil Prince Humperdinck (Chris Sarandon) who intends to make her his wife.
But when the Dread Pirate Roberts (who just might be Westley) arrives on the scene, he’s intent on rescuing Buttercup from the clutches of the evil prince. To do so, he must overcome a series of obstacles, and he must take on the skills and strength of a master swordsman, Inigo Montoya (Mandy Patinkin), and a massive giant, Fezzik (Andre the Giant). When the two men find out that the Dread Pirate Roberts is more than a match for their combined skills, they join him in his noble effort to rescue the princess bride, Buttercup. But Prince Humperdinck and his evil henchman (including a six-fingered man who may have killed Inigo Montoya’s father) stand in their way…
The Princess Bride plays host to a number of hilarious scenes, but among the best is a sword fight which takes place between Westley and Inigo Montoya atop a large cliff. The two men trash talk to each other in rested voices while a well-choreographed fencing match takes place. It simply needs to be seen in order to enjoy the level of hilarity. In addition, the late Andre the Giant shows off his abilities as a likeable and loveable big guy with a big heart. All the various characters and their conflicts are drawn together with an original score featuring organ music that highlights the climax of each struggle. It fits nicely with the overall fantasy theme and makes The Princess Bride a better film from every perspective…
Non-stop fun and laughter from beginning to end, The Princess Bride is one of the most memorable movies you’ll ever see. It’s easy to become involved in the plight of the lead characters, and the exotic Middle-Age fairy tale locale makes for an always interesting setting. The Princess Bride is the perfect family movie for parents to enjoy along with their children. It’s one of those rare films that’s more than able to walk the thin line between adult and child humor. Because of its brilliant screenplay and unrivaled comic value, The Princess Bride is a definite must-see film…

fitness director job description
December 10, 2008 by admin · Leave a Comment
Job skills are at the core of any hiring. The bottom line that the employer wants to know is, do you have the skills to get the job done right. If you identify your transferable job skills, you’ll unlock a lot more opportunities in your search for employment. While your industry might be laying people off on a grand scale, there are other industries that have openings they need filled.
According to Ron Herzog, President, FPC, while many industries are hurting in this struggling economy there are many that have a good deal of hiring activity. Herzog says, “Most industries are hiring at some level, but the industries where we see the most activity are life sciences (Pharmaceuticals, Medical Device, and Bio Technology), chemicals, health care and energy.”
And that’s where your transferable job skills can strike pay dirt.
Obvious and Not-So-Obvious Transferable Skills
If you’re in IT, you know your skills transfer to any number of different industries. After all, every industry uses computers to some degree, and businesses can’t afford to have their system down for any length of time.
Some of the job functions that transfer across industries are:
- Quality Control
- Sales & Marketing
- Engineering
- Human Resources
- Purchasing
- Accounting & Finance
- among others
So how do you identify which industries are open to candidates from other industries in these job functions? Sue Kanrich, Director of Training & Operations at FPC says “Research how closely aligned another industry is with yours by looking at:
- How it’s manufactured (or packaged if it’s a service)
- How the product or service is used
- Who is it used by
If there is a similar process with a similar audience (B2B vs. B2C), your job function may very cross over. It’s worth investigating. You may open up a whole new area for your job search. AND, the similarities that you gather will be the basis for how you package yourself to potential companies in those new industries.”
There are also many subtle transferable job skills that you might not even realize you have.
- Writing
- Problem Solving
- Research
- Listening
- Team Leading
- Motivation
According to FPC, many companies are looking to hire candidates with strong leadership and team player instincts. The list of transferable skills goes on and on.
If you were a team leader in the automotive industry, you might be well suited for a position in another industry, such as biotech based on transferable skill set you gained as a team leader.
Develop your list of transferable job skills and check out “When One Size Doesn’t Fit All” to find out how to incorporate them into your resume.
The Challenge of Transferring Job Skills
Listing your transferable job skills and finding a way to make them transfer to a position in a different industry takes work, but it’s that kind of work that will give you an edge over others who are applying for the position.
Ron Herzog says, “The greatest challenge is having the candidate show the potential employer what he or she accomplished and how it can be translated to the new job.”
List your previous jobs and pull out your old job descriptions. Which parts of those job descriptions did you excel at? If you don’t have a copy of your old job description, just list the tasks you were responsible for. Hidden among all the things you’ve done for other employers are the tasks you excel at. Those are your most important skills. And who knows, those skills may well be the very same ones another industry is seeking.
Remember to couch all your job skills in a form that shows not just what you can do, but what you can do for the prospective employer. Every job seeker is a sales person. You’re selling yourself when you contact a potential employer.
So, develop your list of transferable job skills, put them in your updated resume, read “So Tell Me About Yourself”: Perfecting Your Two-Minute Sales Presentation, and start to feature your transferable job skills when approaching prospective employers.

Breaking a contract with Goodlife Fitness?
Hi. I signed up with Goodlife Fitness with the promise that the manager would waive the “end of contract” fee plus she would low price flomax let me quit after 4 months. I would not have signed up with them without this, and she even left a note with my contract that I signed.
My account has been charged for the month OVER what my end day was supposed to be, and the branch refuses to answer my phone or email messages (always polite, just trying to get SOME HUMAN to call me).
Does anyone know how to get out of this contract with the end result being me not having to pay an extra 200$??? (99$ break fee, plus one month of fees).
Anything would be appreciated.
You’re basically out of luck. People who sell fitness club memberships are legendary for their sleaziness. They will say anything to take your money.
The only thing that might help you is that note you say you have. Do you have a lawyer? Probably not. There are 2 things you can do.
Contact the Ministry of Government Services, Consumer Protection Branch, and tell them everything.
Get a free legal consultation from some place like Parkdale Legal Services. If you don’t live in Parkdale, ask them where you can get free legal advice in your neighbourhood.
Good luck. I’ve got issues with health clubs myself.
