But… but… that lady shouldn't be able to lift the hippo! Hippos are heavy!
Hehe. Cute.

Where's mama pygmy hippo?

Let me know when I can see a cloned baby triceratops like in Jurassic Park.
The baby from Eraserhead is all grew up.
#8 – you beat me to it…
surprisingly cute for soemthing that would kill you as soon as look at you when it grows up.
@Antinous – Did I see what u did there? and what cuteoverload did there too?
Could you (and cute overload) possibly be pointing out that Boing Boing has echoed stories from Cute Overload twice this week? (and days after they ran there I might add) Not that I have anything against cute things… I just like some variety in my blogs.
I think Antinous' point was that the bunny picture has "Boing Boing" in it, and that this blog….is called Boing Boing. I believe his infringement comment was tongue in cheek.
Antinous, correct me if I am off base :)
I want a baby pygmy hippo of my very own!
Daemon, the adults are a bit smaller than an adult domestic hog. But it is big enough to put a hurt on you in close quarters, if it's mad. However, unlike a river hippo, it probably not bit you in two.
The normal sized hippos are one of the most dangerous animals in Africa.
@Homingpigen – duh. I was getting "deeper" though with my seeing what was "did there."
Though, I will admit my mistake of thinking that that boinging bunny was on cuteoverload, rather than canhascheezburger. I can't handle all of these blogs blogging each other.
Hippo + bull terriers = http://www.lifeinthefastlane.ca/hippopotamus-lives-as-a-pampered-house-pet/offbeat-news
mim, it's getting so… meta- as we approach the singularity.
That's why these animals never survive, there's all these Professional Animal People who just can't stop petting it. "Oh here Snookums, have some milk." "No, Janey! She wants WATER!" "MILK" "WATER" and then the tug of war, and then…well, you know. This is why they're rare. All the rare cute animals get cuddled to death. It's their fate, their destiny.
I gotta get me one, though. How much you think shipping is to California?
Is that a herd of film cameras or electric typewriters in the background? I like how you can tell when they get excited. It's a new ecology.
You've obviously never seen a hippo mark its territory.
It is the total opposite end of the spectrum from cute.
That is ridiculous cute. Sooo tiny.
ok ok, we need to find a spider monkey to ride Monifa, then team them up with Maru – that is one unstoppable superhero outfit and no mistake.
for as we all know, criminals are powerless against cute.

National Library lauds success of 'To Sir, With Love' stage adaptation
Chief Librarian at the National Library Gillian Thompson has said the public's response to the play "To Sir, With Love – A Guyanese Version" was overwhelming and she was particularly pleased that the author of the original novel E.R Braithwaite attended the event.
"We would like to thank Mr Braithwaite for attending the play. We salute him for his outstanding work and for writing the novel that provided the material for us to create a Guyanese version of this wonderful story," Thompson said in a press release. She also commended the writer, director and the cast of the play for an "exemplary job" done when the play was held at the National cultural Centre last Wednesday.
Braithwaite's novel was the inspiration for the 1967 British film To Sir With Love, which starred Sidney Poitier. The film was semi-autobiographical as it was based on the events that occurred when Braithwaite took up a teaching post in an East London school.
The local version of the play was written by Mosa Telford and directed by Ron Robinson. The story is about a teacher who has returned to Guyana from England to teach what has turned out to be a group of unruly students. The plot mirrored the current challenges being experienced in local schools and the teacher's attempts to overcome them.
According to Thompson, the Library aims to showcase local talent and promote local authors through initiatives such as the play. It plans to continue to promote literacy and instil values and morals in the society.
Braithwaite, who recently celebrated his 100th birthday, received a moving tribute from Sidney Poitier moments before the play began. In a recorded statement, Poitier said he was honoured to depict the character created by Braithwaite and wished the author many more birthdays to come.
The Library then presented Braithwaite with a portrait done by artist Rondell Bess and the production team and cast presented him with a plaque in honour of his many achievements and sterling contributions to Guyana. In addition, on August 23, President Donald Ramotar conferred the Cacique Crown of Honour, the nation's third highest national award on Braithwaite.
The library also extended gratitude to sponsors Banks DIH, DM Enterprise Inc, Bounty Supermarket and others.

A newly released report from McKinsey & Company, Risk and Responsibility in a Hyperconnected World: Implications for Enterprises, highlights the findings of a year's worth of McKinsey research conducted in partnership with the World Economic Forum. Based on the interviews with over 200 enterprises and organizations the findings highlight the importance of protecting online proprietary data and information and puts forth 7 ideas for how to protect the enterprise.
The report first observes that with the rise of new and novel ways to access information via mobile devices, data security risks have dramatically increased. Despite the billions of dollars spent to secure data, cybercriminals have proven themselves to be a highly adaptable, sophisticated, well-funded crew, equipped to take advantage of any weaknesses in an enterprise's security technology. Recent examples of large breaches at Target and Adobe could potentially really just be the tip of the iceberg.
As I mentioned, the research sets forth seven practices for executives tasked with battling cybercriminals; here is the list with a few observations on each:
1. Prioritize information assets based on business risks.
At PerspecSys, we've long championed this idea as an important part of any cloud security strategy. It enables a smooth, risk-based strategy for protecting the corporation and helps prioritize IT activities on the most impactful security technologies/processes. It is amazing how quickly things can happen when risks are well understood (see #6 below). Which leads directly to the next tenet...
2. Provide differentiated protection based on importance of assets.
This is especially relevant when choosing where and how enterprises select their cloud computing environment (public, private or hybrid cloud) and what obfuscation technologies to deploy (tokenization, encryption, location and ownership of keys, etc.).
3. Deeply integrate security into the technology environment to drive scalability.
This strategy helps better protect assets while staying a step ahead of both cybercriminals and competition. And as I stated in my predictions of what we'll see this year, the solutions that pull ahead in the marketplace will provide strong security, leverage existing data center investments and scale without disrupting usability of the cloud.
4. Deploy active defenses to uncover attacks proactively.
No organization can afford to wait for evidence of attacks. Technologies and processes should be in place to preemptively search out and stop any vulnerability. For example, an enterprise can proactively keep its most sensitive assets out of the cloud without adversely impacting their end user's cloud experience, by using a product such as ours.
5. Test continuously to improve incident response.
Testing is a key part of cybersecurity and we've seen with recent attacks that response matters - led by the IT department, but including all major departments. Solutions like those from Co3 Systems can help an organization be prepared if and when the time comes.
6. Enlist frontline personnel to help them understand the value of information assets.
The end users often feel the impact of cybersecurity choices the most and need to be up to speed on what is at stake with certain data assets - especially important with the rise of mobility and BYOD in the workplace.
7. Integrate cyber-resistance into enterprise-wide risk-management and governance processes.
Cybersecurity is clearly not just an IT department issue, but a decision and process that should involve multiple teams within the enterprise.
There was some disagreement in the survey about the issue of cybersecurity regulations and there was also some division by industry (which makes sense given the disparity in regulations already in place by industry sector). We believe regulation will continue to grow and be increasingly complex, making full awareness and compliance with any and all applicable industry regulations a must by security solution providers - whether PCI DSS, HIPAA or others.
Finally, we agree that this is a C-Suite and boardroom issue - the viability of institutions depend on proactively removing enterprise risk and threat.
I strongly recommend you download and read the full report. I look forward to future updates from McKinsey and the World Economic Forum.

Keep it in the Family - Part Four
By just-drinks.com editorial team | 8 November 2005
In the fourth in our series of reports on key family-owned wines and spirits groups, Ben Cooper and drinks industry analyst Canadean look at Rémy Cointreau, a company which has swum against the tide by consolidating while other major players have looked to grow through acquisition.
Family-run companies typically run the danger of being beset either by internal squabbles or by a general reluctance to move forward. According to industry analyst, Canadean, Rémy Cointreau has suffered little from the former but, until comparatively recently, was considered to have something of an old fashioned outlook.
That has changed under the stewardship of Dominique Hériard Dubreuil, who became chairman in 1998. Through disposals, partnerships and the astute acquisition of Bols in 2000, Hériard Dubreuil has been credited with turning the company around, culminating in a generally acclaimed major management overhaul in July 2004 which saw Jean-Marie Laborde take on the newly created position of CEO, whilst Dominique Hériard Dubreuil became chairman of the new Management Board.
Rémy Cointreau remains a family concern, with Orpar, which is 88.7% owned by the Hériard Dubreuil company Androméde, owning 44.29% of the capital. Other shareholders, as of March 2004, included the General Public (30.69%), Arnhold and Bleichroeder (9.99%, acquired in 2004) and the Treasury (1.41%). Earlier this year, Arnhold and Bleichroeder upped its stake in Rémy Cointreau to 10.04%, plus voting rights of 6.32%.
Through astute management Rémy Cointreau has become a lean, yet successful wines and spirits player, says Canadean. However, this has been achieved by eschewing the paths followed by competitors, opting primarily to streamline its portfolio through disposals, rather than expanding through acquisition. As Canadean notes, this potentially leaves the French company itself vulnerable to acquisition by a larger group.
Since becoming chairman, Dominique Hériard Dubreuil has embarked on a cost-cutting programme that has included a number of disposals including Krug Champagne for US$176m, Bordeaux negociant Grands Vins de Gironde (GVG) for US$156m, both in 1999, and a 40% stake in the barrel maker, Seguin Moreau. The company also exited from the Australian wine business in October 2002. Most recently, in 2005, the group sold Bols Sp z.o.o., a 50:50 Polish joint venture with a local partner Takirra, to the Central European Distribution Corporation (CEDC). Also in 2005, Rémy Cointreau announced the introduction of Fine Wines joint venture Dynasty Winery to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
During the 2004 fiscal year, disposals generated some €65m, providing a capital gain of €25m. The company has also significantly reduced its workforce over time. In fiscal 2004, Rémy Cointreau cut its workforce by 13% to 1,945. The cuts were made outside France, mainly in the Americas and Europe.
The company has also been mindful of cost control in managing its distribution operations. It says "an aggressive and selective policy of partnerships and alliances using a model implemented in August 1999 with the establishment of the Maxxium BV" is one of its core strategic objectives.
The lack of acquisitive growth means that Rémy Cointreau has become something of a niche player, operating in the Cognac/brandy, Champagne and liqueurs sectors but less active in white spirits. However, as a brand marketer within its market niches the company has an uncanny ability to anticipate consumer trends, for example launching Rémy Red in advance of the cocktail trend.
As of April 2004, Europe was Rémy Cointreau's biggest source of value sales (46.8%), but the Asia-Pacific region has seen its share of turnover rise to 13.7%, thanks in no small part to the growth of Cognac in China. Rémy Cointreau is particularly well placed to take advantage of growing Cognac sales in China. "Sales of cognac in China are forecast to rise at a double-digit rate per annum over the medium term," says Canadean, "indicating that this may be Rémy Cointreau's most rewarding category/market combination."
In October 2005, Goldman Sachs initiated coverage of Rémy Cointreau, stating in a note to clients, that the company's flagship Cognac brand was particularly attractive, with strong exposure to the higher growth and margin markets of the US and Asia.
Having undergone such a comprehensive overhaul under Dominique Hériard Dubreuil and with a return to growth in fiscal 2005, Canadean suggests it is difficult to identify the company's weaknesses.
"Since 2000, when it acquired Bols NV, Rémy Cointreau has sought to consolidate, rather than expand, its assets," says Canadean. "This strategy may go against general industry trends, but it has enabled the company to focus on strengthening its existing portfolio. The success of this tactic is aptly illustrated by Rémy Cointreau's Champagne and wines portfolio, which has been narrowed down to just four brand ranges, yet whose operating profits have tripled in two years."
Certain weaknesses have been tackled. For example, the company's over-reliance on Cointreau within the liqueurs category was addressed by the introduction of Passoã in selected European markets. Canadean argues that the company's greatest challenge is to boost sales in the euro zone, which captured just 34% of turnover in 2004, thereby lessening its exposure to fluctuating exchange rates which have adversely affected the company's bottom line in the past.
Nevertheless, in spite of the turnaround overseen by Hériard Dubreuil, the lack of strong brand growth in 2005 has led some to question the group's consolidation-focused strategy.
Last month, the company reported a rise in first half sales from continuing operations from €386.9m to €397.6m. However, the growth came primarily from partner brands, while sales of the group's own key brands were largely flat. Cognac brands grew only 0.7% to 153.9m, with liqueurs and spirits sales rising by just 0.5% to €135m. In Champagne, sales grew 1.7% to €48.7m.
Dominique Hériard Dubreuil has stated that family ambitions and share ownership must not be allowed to block future developments at Rémy Cointreau. However, Canadean questions whether family ownership and influence may yet be diluted as a result of partnerships within the industry.
As it stands, the company continues to strengthen its portfolio primarily through innovation and targeted advertising. "Dominique Hériard Dubreuil is credited with having turned the company around," says Canadean. "She has stated that family ownership must not impede Rémy Cointreau's progress. Rémy Cointreau's aim is to grow its brands, the quality and rarity of which should be easily distinguishable."
To achieve this goal, says Canadean, the company is pursuing four strategic objectives: increasing its advertising investment; developing innovative and targeted products, in anticipation of changing consumer tastes; building its distribution network; and forging joint venture partnerships, partly to lower selling costs.

"Is this game only a game?"
DVD ReviewThere aren't a whole lot of movies in which the first thing to grab your attention is the screenplay credit, but The Last of Sheila is one of them: "Written by Stephen Sondheim and Anthony Perkins." This intricate, intelligent screenplay is a product of a collaboration between maybe the brightest light in musical theater and Norman Bates, and it shows—in many respects, it's one of those movies that will appeal to every muscle in your body from the neck up, a movie for which the word "clever" is both a compliment and an off-handed disparagement. But if you've got a taste for this sort of thing, this Rubik's cube of a movie is sure to keep you guessing.
A few months back, the title character has been mowed down on the mean streets of Bel Air, and now her widowed husband, Clinton (James Coburn), is ready to get back into action. A film producer and self-styled puzzled impresario, he invites six of his and Sheila's closest friends aboard his yacht (named for his late wife) for a week of fun and games. These include Tom (Richard Benjamin), a struggling screenwriter, and his wife, Lee (Joan Hackett); a Hollywood starlet (Raquel Welch) and her consort of sorts (Ian McShane); a film director (James Mason) reduced to shooting commercials; and a zanily powerful literary agent (Dyan Cannon). Reading too much about the plot will rob watching the movie of much of its fun, but there's a lot here to chew over.
There are some obvious affinities to a movie like Sleuth, which engages in similar sorts of parlor games; and the large cast is in some ways sort of a lower-rent precursor to Murder on the Orient Express. (Also, given that most of the film takes place aboard the S.S. Sheila, it's hard at times not to think of this as a highbrow Love Boat.) At times it feels a bit overdone (Coburn imploring in fake camp counselor tones: "Come on, people!"), and the acting is uneven—Raquel Welch is typically pneumatic in her swimsuit, for instance, and let's leave it at that. There are certainly times at which you can feel the plot wheels turning; it's not that the movie follows a strict formula, but we're told early on that everyone has a secret that is to be revealed, so we start counting, in the manner of a story like And Then There Were None.
Still, the third-act reveals are pretty surprising, and if you guessed them before the fact, you're better at this than I am. The movie is also notable for its costume designer, Joel Schumacher, who went on to favor us with his direction of such classics as St. Elmo's Fire and Batman & Robin; and for the song, Friends, that plays over the closing credits—though it wasn't written by Sondheim, the deeply ironic context for the tune seems frequently to have been lost in Bette Midler's many renditions.
Rating for Style: B+
Rating for Substance: B
Image Transfer
Image Transfer Review: This is a very poor transfer, with visual problems in nearly every shot of every scene—the print used seems to have been full of scratches and dirt, more debris seems to have been introduced, and the palette is badly faded and discolored. The movie was shot in the south of France, so some of that still looks lovely; the print and this DVD sure don't, though.
Image Transfer Grade: D
Audio Transfer
Audio Transfer Review: Lots and lots of crackle lead to frequent distortions; it's especially problematic since so much of the story relies on us getting every last word of the dialogue. It's not as glaring a weakness as the video quality, but it still sounds pretty poor.

Extras Review: Aside from the original trailer, the only extra is the commentary track from three of the principal cast members. Raquel Welch is at a distinct disadvantage, because she seems to have been recorded alone; she doesn't have much to say, really, and at times sitting and doing this track seems to have been as pleasant to her as dentistry. Richard Benjamin and Dyan Cannon, on the other hand, sat together for their portion, and seem to be having a fine old time, making each other laugh and reminiscing; for Benjamin especially, though, the shoot seems to be dimly remembered. Cannon is sharper, and talks about her character being based on Sue Mengers, at that time the most powerful literary agent in Hollywood; they also allude to the fact that the script is rife with other industry inside jokes, though Monarch Notes for the rest of us are not provided.
Extras Grade: C
Final CommentsThis is a clever little puzzle of a movie, not a classic, but a whole lot more than Colonel Mustard, in the conservatory, with the candlestick.

Card Player TV Video Spotlight -- David Baker On High Only Omaha 8/OB Hands
WSOP Bracelet Winner Gives Advice On Playing High Hands In Popular Split-Pot Poker Format
Omaha eight-or-better is one of the most commonly spread live poker games outside of texas hold'em at lower stakes. If you are looking to try something new in the poker world, this might be one of the most accessible games to try your hand in.
That being said, starting with four cards and having the pot split between the best high and low hands are just some of the many differences that scare off hold'em players from taking a seat in an O/8 game.
The most basic advice beginners should follow when first starting out is to try to win the entire pot. Normally that involves playing hands that can make strong high and low hands to scoop the pot, like the beautiful AA23 double suited you see above.
But as players become more comfortable with the game they might try to start to incorporate playing some high-only hands, as a low will only be possible around 60 percent of the time by the river.
Card Player TV caught up with World Series of Poker bracelet winner David Baker, champion of the 2012 $2,500 eight-game mix event, to discuss high-only hands in Omaha eight-or-better a bit more.
"I need to have four cards that play well together," said Baker. "I don't really like the KKJ2, they just don't play really well. There are certain spots where you might need to three bet them against a player who is playing too many hands from late position and you're on the button. But for the most part you want to play like KKQJ double suited or QQJ10 or KQJ10, something more like that."
Check out the full video below for more advice from Baker:

"What a disappointment."
Save your credit. Chapter one was average and I'm not quite sure what happens after that. A lot of wasted "me tarzan - you jane" conversation between Anya and Lucien that desperately tries to be hot and steamy but lays a big egg. I was hopeful for Paris' character but that too drifts off into la-la land. Poorly developed characters and plots. Was looking forward to reading this author but won't be reading anything further.
"good series"
I really liked Anya and Lucien's story. He is such a tortured soul, but Anya just makes him sizzle. She is such a riot. You can't help but like her. She is full of fun and mischief. If you like LOTU, this is a must have.
"Good Book"
I thought this was a good book and well worth the credit.
"The best one yet"
This book is wonderful. I truly felt for both Lucien and Anya, for what they have to go through - Lucian and the other demon possessed warriors are on the hunt for Pandora's box if others find it they are doomed. Now Cronos, leader of the Titans, has ordered Lucian to take Anya's soul and Lucian must fight the attraction that burns between him and the goddess.
I loved this book, book 1 was a good read but it was hard to belive that they fell in love within two days, with this book it spands over 3 weeks making it more believable and is just so darn good, action, adventure, love, romantance,great characters, what more could you ask for !! VERY enjoyable listen!
"Left me anticipating for more"
This whole series is worth listening to. The narration is great and the individual characters very appealing. Not your sterotype "Demon" book.
I have a very fast paced life. Audio books are an awesome alternative for me. Long road trips, working out and housework arn't a bore.
"Excellent entertainment"
My review of book one was only three stars. I wish I could have a redo on that.
After book two I am hooked. I even love the reader! Very well written and fun. Thanks Gena, you are a great author.
"Best of the Lords"
My favorite of all the Lords of the Underworld books.
Amazon fan
"Really Good"
Another good book by author-better then the first. Quick, easy listening!
Audible OBSESSED!
"Death becomes her :-)"
I really enjoyed this second book featuring Lord of the Underground Lucien and his death demon. His heroine Anya is such a feisty spitfire! Listening to their relationship unfold was funny, endearing, and heart warming. I highly recommend this series, and recommend starting from the beginning with Darkest Night.

Panasonic image app and G6
Jan 12, 2014
Hello everybody,
I use the Panasonic image app to transfere the images and videos to my Ipad.
Yesterday I came back from a trip and I had 800 shots on my card. Sadly the app alowws me only to select up to ten images to transfer at once.
Does anybody know how to transfer mor than ten images or all of them to my Ipad at once?
thank you

New Zealand apple growers will probably reach $1 billion in exports ahead of their 10-year 2022 target as the industry benefits from higher productivity and rising prices.
The apple industry, New Zealand's second-largest fresh fruit export after kiwifruit, has raised export prices to offset the negative impact of a higher New Zealand dollar on returns, said Gary Jones, business development manager at grower organisation Pipfruit New Zealand. Better access to seasonal staff through a 2008 government scheme has helped orchard owners raise production.
New Zealand's apple industry, which accounts for a quarter of the southern hemisphere's fresh apple exports, is heading into its main three-month harvesting period. Pipfruit NZ plans to drop its compulsory grower levy for research and development to 1 cent a kilogram this year from 1.25 cents last year as it benefits from the extra revenue gleaned from a larger crop.
"If we see more consistency of return like we have over the last couple of years and we see that for another year or so, I think we would have confidence in saying that we would easily achieve that billion dollar figure before 2022," Jones said. "If we have another year or two like we have in the last couple we are likely to think that we have probably been a bit soft and needed to have brought that forward."
New Zealand apples sell for a premium over rivals by as much as 20 percent and sales are benefiting from increased affluence in Asia and better access to markets, Jones said.
Apple exporters are exposed to the US dollar, euro and British pound with gains in the New Zealand dollar crimping returns.
"We really really have been up against the currency in terms of trying to get returns," Jones said. "We have been able to raise the premium in parallel with the increase in exchange rate. Everyone has cooperated to allow us to maintain enough margin to keep going as an industry and so we have been able to reinvest strongly in the business."
Pipfruit exports were worth a record $500 million last year, spurring demand for nursery trees and root stock, he said. While pears are included in the pipfruit figures, they account for just 3 percent of the total, which is dominated by apples.
"At the moment there is money in the industry being used to reinvest in it and grow," Jones said.
This year's apple crop is expected to slip to 505,000 metric tonnes from 550,000 MT last year due to seasonal patterns which dictate a smaller harvest every second year following a frost in 2008. An estimated 308,000 MT are destined for export, from 325,000 MT last year, according to Pipfruit NZ.
Fruit will likely be larger and therefore more valuable this year, as trees produce fewer apples due to the biannual swing and warmer weather, Jones said.
The government's Recognised Seasonal Employer scheme, which enables Pacific Island workers to help with the harvest, has also boosted industry returns, Jones said. Orchard owners taking part in the scheme had raised production by a third and their orchard area by 20 percent over the past five years.
"It's been transformational for the industry," Jones said. "The RSE scheme has allowed us to be much more productive, allowing us to provide the fruit in optimum condition with optimum value and that has allowed us to capture a lot more value and allowed us to survive against the incoming tide of the exchange rate."

Gujarat to form Marine Commando Force to protect international boundary
Gandhinagar: To protect the international maritime boundary of Gujarat, the state government has decided to form a specialised `Marine Commando Force` for continuous patrolling and surveillance in the waters as well as land near the sea.
Giving details about the project during discussion on state Budget in the Assembly today, BJP MLA Rajnikant Patel said the state government has already allotted Rs 122 crore for modernisation of state police force.
The Marine Commando Force will have 30 boats, 32 jeeps, and 125 bikes. According to Patel, a separate budget have been allotted for formation of the force.
Patel, an MLA from Asarawa constituency in Ahmedabad, also added that to stop infiltration attempts by terrorists, fencing has been done on the international border touching Pakistan.
"For development and modernisation of Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL), which falls under the home department, Rs 35 crore has been alloted in the budget. Gandhinagar-based FSL has helped the CBI in 293 cases till now," said Patel.
He also assured the House that 17 new police stations will come up in the next one year. "For our Suraksha Setu project, Rs 50 crore have been alloted. Till now, 50,000 women have been given training for self defence by police in the state," added Patel.

Fedora 19 Performance Review
Fedora 19 'Schrödinger's Cat' got released few days ago, and since I have not reviewed Fedora on this blog (mainly because I did not have a lot of positive things to say about it), I decided to review it.
I will be sticking with the performance related aspects of the operating system, rather than describing what is new with the desktop and applications. However, if I feel fit, I will mention some of those features as well.
Also remember that, since Fedora has always had strong ties with the Gnome desktop, I am using the GnomeShell version (64-bit) for this review.

I purchased a shredder from Maplins, although the product was good overall quality, the boxes always seem to have been battered on the shelves (or is it just me?) the customer service is something which could definately be improved - specifically, the terrible habbit they have of following customers around the store, making you feel uncomfortable. As an overall rating, I would give them 3/5.

The Treasure of the Sierra Madre
1948 Directed by John Huston
The nearer they get to their treasure, the farther they get from the law.
Fred C. Dobbs and Bob Curtin, both down on their luck in Tampico, Mexico in 1925, meet up with a grizzled prospector named Howard and decide to join with him in search of gold in the wilds of central Mexico. Through enormous difficulties, they eventually succeed in finding gold, but bandits, the elements, and most especially greed threaten to turn their success into disaster.

A masterwork of outstanding direction, terrific screenplay & brilliant performances, a highly fascinating but equally unsettling illustration of poverty, desperation, greed & its corrupting power, and still retaining all its potency despite being nearly 70 years old, The Treasure of the Sierra Madre is one of American cinema's finest works that not only ranks amongst the best films of the 1940s but is one of the greatest movies ever made.
Based on the novel of the same name, the story of The Treasure of the Sierra Madre is set in Mexico during the 1920s and follows two down-on-their-luck Americans who meet an old prospector and convince him to help them mine for gold in the Sierra Madre Mountains. Reluctant at first, the…
The longer Bogart stays on screen the darker his face becomes, the whites of his eyes and the pearls of his teeth the last trace of his dwindling humanity, fighting back the growing mistrust. His journey through the film shows a man who has waited a long time in life for this chance and he intends to make the most of it. Whatever the cost.
That sentiment becomes an overbearing presence in his mind, be it the foreman who tries to cheat him out of money, the wild bandits roaming the hills or the creeping paranoia that wedges itself between Hobb's and his co-workers. The more the trio of men scour the land, the more disturbed and insecure he becomes.…
One small step for man, one giant leap for Hollywood. A landmark turning point in the business, Madre was one of the very first to shoot almost entirely on location, resulting in an unheard of 6 months of shooting. The painstaking details have lived long, gracefully aging this story like the finest wine you've tasted. A classic that time has proven will live forever. Walter Huston's performance only turns your ideas of prospecting wild men completely upside down with spellbinding charm. The roots of Daniel Plainview seed their way back to Huston's face in this.
Nobody puts one over on Fred C. Dobbs.
Sometimes timing is everything. John Huston was trying to get this film into production as early as 1942 but all that was halted when he was activated by the U.S. Army as a documentary filmmaker. When he returned from the war, Humphrey Bogart had continued his rise in popularity that started with Huston's first film, The Maltese Falcon, and was one of Hollywood's biggest stars by this point. He now had final approval on the screenwriter and director of whatever films he would star in. Knowing what Huston had planned on making next, Bogey's decision was already made. It wasn't the first great collaboration between the two, and it wouldn't be…
Ah, as long as there's no find, the noble brotherhood will last but when the piles of gold begin to grow... that's when the trouble starts.
Original Review can be read here
Humphrey Bogart's hat has more personality in this film then the entire cast of Man of Steel was able to muster up in theirs.
Gee, look! Zack posted yet another five-starred review. Doesn't this guy have any other defining characteristics apart from blind worship and glowing admiration?
Deal with it.
Oh Lordy, how I love this movie. If you thought some of my other reviews were shameless in praise and hyperbole, you ain't seen nothin' yet!
The Treasure of the Sierra Madre is the Jesus Christ of films.
...? What?! That's impossible! I've already made that ridiculous claim about another movie? Oh, well. This gives me a chance to come up with something more subtle and maybe a little less arrogant instead.
Here goes: The Treasure of the Sierra Madre is more important to me than your life. I'd rather watch you die…

Third time seeing this and I still can't believe Humphrey Bogart wasn't nominated for an Oscar for this. I'm a big fan of Bogey and I think this is his best performance. The film won three Oscars too, so it's not like the Academy didn't like the film. Walter Huston and Tim Holt are great as well, the cinematography is beautiful, the score is good, and the film is a wonderful exploration of greed. Classic stuff right here. My favorite film directed by John Huston. 9/10
It's fun going back and seeing the movies that The Simpsons have parodied. This one is 'Three Men and a Comic Book.'
Very cool movie
Rétrospective John Huston #2 — Cinémathèque Française
"Conscience. What a thing."
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
-first time ive seen Humphrey Bogart in a movie, and i have to say his acting was very good, and same with the other guys
-this is a film about greed and corruption, and it showed it very well
-cinematography was pretty good
-it had some good humor
-but the overall mood was very tense and ominous?, and it worked perfectly for this kind of a story
-PTA made his crew watch this everyday while filming there will be blood- i could see why
-its dated a little more than The Third Man, which came out the following year
-i dont really get the ending, why they were laughing, but i didnt mind it
Expected a riff on Western standards, ended up with a paranoid thriller. Kind of brilliant.
"The Treasure of Sierra Madre" is a fantastic film with fantastic directing by John Huston (who gets three fantastic performances from Tim Holt, Humphrey Bogart and his very own father Walter Huston).
The screenplay (also by John Huston) packs a punch. It's got drama, it's got action ( at least a little bit), it's got a easy to follow progressive story and a message about how greed (in the form of gold) does you wrong in the end. The best thing about the screenplay is that it draws three meaningful characters and develops them whole heartedly by the film's conclusion.
Director John Huston takes his screenplay and juicy dialogue and uses it as a tool to direct a capable trio…
By Huston, a classic '48 neo-Western. Far more spirited & well-felt than MALTESE FALCON. Bogart and Huston's dad Walter, in a hotly ethnic Mexico, a grim noir… "a stomach for loneliness"… a fistfight, shooting, fool's gold fakeout, hiking, etc. 'trustworthy vs. honest' and deep paranoia, jealousy. Dim/sweaty. Treachery-cum-bandit adventure. Really snazzy. "I don't have to show you any stinking badges!" And then another pitiful shooting.
Spanish seems like the only language that could ever survive not being translated in American cinema, what with Mexico being so close and all. Cowboy melodrama till the very end TREASURE OF SIERRA MADRE is, including even the small sacred moment toward the conclusion. God, baby. Rich WONDERFUL LIFE-esque story overall, y'know? It happened. It was pretty good. Hey. Then, cut again with some Poe-like monologuing. Hey. What? Hey. A Mexican babe to light your cigarettes for you; wowee zowee. An end unhappy just for villains, you know? The best.
I hate that I didn't love this, but I just didn't. This was like 45 minutes longer than it needed to be and Humphrey Bogart's character arc was more like an immediate jump into insanity instead of a slow descent into madness. Either way, this wasn't my favorite. I want to say I'll give it another try but I honestly probably won't.

Your task is to collect all fruit bubbles by using specified number of moves.
Levels are easy and fun, come and win 3 stars.
Your task is to collect all fruit bubbles by using specified number of moves.
Levels are easy and fun, come and win 3 stars.
- Easy to play
- It is suitable for everyone, and play it at any time.
- Several different scenes e.g., farm, cornfield , mountain, and etc.
- Up to 128 levels
- Various kinds of obstacles
Colored balls The colors needed are usually shielded. When you only need one color, shielded by non bananas, you only get the color of the bananas. And, after shutting down the game you return to find your last - and won - game "new game"
Great game except... I would have given this game 5 stars except when I got all the stars in the first level, I came back later and the last two games my three stars were gone. Played it several times and it happened every time. Others have commented on this problem but it doesn't get fixed. If it wasn't for this problem it would be a 5 star game because the graphics and game play are great!
Fun if you can do it Fun but I am uninstalling. Just too hard but great graphics and variety. I spent over a week getting thru one level...then next was same thing. Waaaaaaay too hard.... in fact, impossible. Ball after ball all the wrong color, plus changes ball color after you shoot.
To many errors! Cool game but when I got all of the stars for the first level and moved on when I came back to play again I noticed that I was short 6 stars. I won again and the same thing happened. Please fix problem.
Fun, Challenging, Mind Bending Lower levels can even be difficult. However this adds to the complexity of the game. Love it!
Expected another excellent game BUT... Have enjoyed Hapoga's great Bubble World's for years, & anticipated that this would be as good or better. But though the graphics are great and there are several new interesting things, much is missing. Many games are impossibly hard but there are no incentives to keep trying. No running total of a reward system, no chance to share, compete or compare with others, no "helps" to claim with accumulated rewards. It is these that make B.Worlds so good. Have stopped playing in disappointment 😣
