Planet Fitness: I lift things up and put them down commercial.

The TV ad’s soundtrack music is the title song written by composer John Barry, “Born Free” became a pop hit for Matt Monro (who sang the song in the film), for pianist Roger Williams, and for The Hesitations. Andy Williams also covered the song, and released an album of the same name.

The version of the song appears to be a mix version sung by James Darren and possibly clips from the original soundtrack. ‘Born Free,’ and its musical score by John Barry, won numerous awards.

The cinema film ‘Born Free’ is a 1966 British drama starring British actors and wildlife campaigners Virginia McKenna and Bill Travers as Joy and George Adamson, a real-life couple who raised Elsa the Lioness, an orphaned lion cub, to adulthood, and released her into the wilderness of Kenya. The screenplay, written by blacklisted Hollywood writer Lester Cole (under the pseudonym “Gerald L.C. Copley”), was based upon Joy Adamson’s 1960 non-fictional book Born Free.

In 1934, Cole joined the American Communist Party. He became one of the Hollywood Ten, who refused to answer questions before the House Committee on Un-American Activities about their Communist Party membership. Cole was convicted of contempt of Congress, fined $1,000 and sentenced to twelve months confinement at the Federal Correctional Institution at Danbury, Connecticut. He served ten months.

As a result of Cole’s refusal to testify, he was blacklisted. Between 1932 and 1947 Cole wrote more than forty screenplays that were made into motion pictures. After his blacklisting, just three screenplays were made into films, only after friends, and wife Gerald L.C. Copley, Lewis Copley, and J. Redmond Prior, submitted the screenplays under their names. Born Free was his most well-known work.

“There’s a sucker born every minute.” By the way, the quote is not confirmed to be attributed to P.T. Barnum of Barnum & Bailey Circus, as commonly thought.

The quote might have come from a late 1860s Chicago bounty broker, saloon and gambling-house keeper, eminent politician named Michael Cassius McDonald. According to the book Gem of the Prairie: Chicago Underworld (1940) by Herbert Asbury, when McDonald was equipping his gambling house known as The Store located at Clark and Monroe Streets in Chicago, his partner Harry Lawrence expressed concern over the large number of roulette wheels and faro tables being installed and their ability to get enough players to play the games. McDonald then allegedly said, “Don’t worry about that, there’s a sucker born every minute.”

When we set you up with that little hardware store, we didn’t intend for your face to be everywhere.

You’re Paul Mattheson, and you’re going to run your business into the ground.

Hey, that’s Eric Gustafson!

On January 9, 2011, Volkswagen announced that the New Midsize Sedan (NMS) being built in Chattanooga, Tennessee for the North American market would be named the Passat. The Volkswagen Passat is a large family car built by Volkswagen Passenger Cars that has gone through six design generations since 1973.

The Passat will also be built in China by Shanghai-VW in 2011.

The Volkswagen Passat NMS vehicle was developed separately from the contemporary European-market B7 Passat and is designed specifically for North America and China — not exported to Europe.

The B6 Passat was heavily facelifted by Klaus Bischoff and Italian car designer Walter de Silva, and was unveiled at the Paris Motor Show in September 2010. The ‘B7′ the car is not a major update to the ‘B6′. The change involves a facelift that resulted in every external body panel being changed, except for the roof and glasshouse. The most noticeable change is to the grille and headights, which are similar to the style of the Mk3 Scirocco.

But he’s got an iPad … cribside. But the dog is not much help.

Pistachio kernels are often eaten whole, either fresh or roasted and salted, and are also used in ice cream and confections such as baklava or biscotti and cold cuts such as mortadella. Americans make pistachio salad, which includes fresh pistachios or pistachio pudding, cool whip, canned fruit and sometimes cottage cheese or marshmallows.

In July 2003, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the first qualified health claim specific to nuts lowering the risk of heart disease: “Scientific evidence suggests but does not prove that eating 1.5 ounces (42.5g) per day of most nuts, such as pistachios, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol may reduce the risk of heart disease”.

Pistachio is a small tree native to some regions of Syria, Iran, Turkey, Greece, Turkmenistan, Pakistan, and Afghanistan (especially in the provinces of Samangan and Badghis), that produces an important culinary nut. Pistacia vera often is confused with other species in the genus Pistacia that are also known as pistachio. These species can be distinguished from P. vera by their geographic distributions (in the wild) and their nuts. Their nuts are much smaller, have a strong flavor of turpentine, and have a shell that is not hard. The word pistachio is a loanword from Persian word پسته Peste via Latin.

Retired U.S. Marine Corps drill sergeant and actor, R. Lee Ermey, does it with intimidation. Watch the video to see how he gets crackin’ with Wonderful Pistachios.

Your core competency is competency.

And you rent from National, because only National lets you choose any car in the aisle and go.

You can even take the full-size and above and still pay the mid-size price.

Indeed business pro, indeed. Go National. Go like a pro.
