Veteran law enforcement officer announces bid for sheriff
A lifelong Dunmore resident and 22-year veteran of law enforcement, Nick DeSando has announced his bid to be the Democratic candidate for Lackawanna County sheriff.
Mr. DeSando, 43, a detective for the Lackawanna County district attorney's office, views law enforcement as more than arresting people and stopping crime.
"First and foremost, law enforcement is about helping people," he said. "That what I have done through my career, and that's what gets me up every morning."
He is the third Democrat who will appear on the primary ballot, joining Mark P. McAndrew of Mayfield, a deputy sheriff; and former county detective Rob Mazzoni.
Mr. DeSando has been quick to embrace alternative policing strategies. He started as a parking officer in the Dunmore Police Department and graduated from Lackawanna College Police Academy in 1993. He initiated the bicycle patrol in Dunmore. After the Columbine High School massacre in 1999, he became one of the region's first school resource officers at Dunmore High School.
"It used to bother me so much when kids and parents would run away from police," he said. "At the school, I had to convince kids I was there not because of them, but for them."
He also worked as a Housing and Urban Development Officer at a public housing complex and a Drug Abuse Resistance Education officer before joining the district attorney's office in 2002. He is a certified negotiator with the county SWAT team and is a Crisis Intervention Team specialist equipped to deal with people experiencing mental health crises.
Mr. DeSando wants the sheriff's department to be more engaged in the community, work collaboratively with other law enforcement agencies and increase training. He acknowledged he'll have to do that within the terms of labor contracts and the scope of authority of the department.
Mr. DeSando and his wife, Amy, have three school-aged children.
The sheriff's post pays $66,174 annually. Current Sheriff John Szymanski is widely expected to retire, though he has not publicly announced his plans.

EN GARDE: Friends of contemporary art, Hugo Boss and the Guggenheim packed the museum's lobby on Thursday to fete the finalists for the Hugo Boss Prize. Emily Jacir, a Palestinian mixed-media artist, won the $100,000 award, and sounded nearly as giddy about that as the belted red sheath dress she wore for the occasion. "I love the free dress they gave me. They gave all the artists clothes, and I felt like the artist version of 'Pretty Woman' when I went to the Hugo Boss store to pick it out," she said. John Slattery of "Mad Men" was wearing Boss threads when he got caught in the rain and had to change. He huddled with Stanley Tucci, Julianne Moore and Talia Balsam, his real wife who also plays his character's wife. No one in the VIP area lapped up more attention than Olympic fencers Jason Rogers and Tim Morehouse, who wore their silver medals to raise the profile of the sport, they said.

share your ambitions/goals/training here on a 'newbie ultra' thread........
Cragchick, thanks, and sympathies. It's going to be interesting to see how it does/does not hold up to TT50, given the likely wet & slippery conditions. I'm trying to work out a bandaging pattern which will give it some support during the run - I can tape it, but my feet are likely to be soaked for most of the run so I don't think tape will necessarily stay on, while cohesive bandage should do...
I've found cohesive bandage to be quite effective in past so fingers crossed for you. You posted a link a few pages back with some stuff about strengthening exercises and analysis of problems etc, are you able to repost it? The mud around the area of the TT is pretty horendous if my memory serves me well (done a lot of fast hiking on the Ridgeway and surrounding area) so good luck with that!!
I probably gave the link to Athletes Treating Athletes - http://www.athletestreatingathletes.com/ - site run by an American physiotherapist who is also a triathlete, so she knows the running mentality!
As for mud, yes, anyone who's run part of the route in recent weeks (including me) has been posting reports, and it's looking to be awful footing - ankle-deep water in some areas and slippery claggy mud in others. I'd originally hoped for a decent time, but with the combination of the underfoot conditions and my ankle (which is not going to appreciate the extra strains associated with sliding in the mud) now I'm just hoping to finish within the time limit...
Thanks Debra, that's exactly what I was looking for, and we like that kind of mentality .
More risk of blistering is the other thing I find with that claggy mud - as it sucks and pulls on your shoes, more friction is created!! When is it again ... perhaps we'll have a freak heatwave and it'll all dry up by then ... well, we are having strange weather at the moment!
cragchick: You're welcome.
TT50 is this Saturday.... no way it's going to dry up in time! I didn't blister while running the second half in the mud a few weeks go, so hopefully that won't be too much of a problem - but I'm taking blister plasters with me, of course.
Lirish: just a bit of posterior tibial tendon strain. Wish I was a masochist, that way I'd know Saturday would be fun!
Thanks. So do I. Hopefully I won't re-strain it too much on Saturday, and it will settle properly with a couple of weeks rest after that before I build again for SDW50. And I'm very glad I kept my fitness up after NWD50 so the reduced mileage during December hasn't got me too far behind where I should be.
That's my problem Debra, I was just picking back up on decent mileage after the various school holidays, just starting to come together and now it's falling apart a bit before I'd got anything decent in the bag. Hey ho! If I have to bail on current entered events, I have no doubt there will be others later in the year ... plus I have my own challenge I want to do come the Autumn ...
Anyway, fingers crossed for Saturday then.
Rest well Debra,
Try Rocktape, I had it on my last year's triathlon, did back to back on Saturday Sunday, Injured on Saturday and with the aid of rock tape complete my second day without much problem.
Why did you think it worked Eldred?
GOOD LUCK WiB FOR Rocky Racoon !!
sorry i forgot to wake you at 4am
Well, we won't be wading (or swimming) the TT50 - they're diverting us off the (flooded, impassible) Thames Path onto roads and lanes instead. Won't be quite the same. May be better for my ankle, or maybe not, with camber. Bet I'll be footsore by the end.
Eldred, you're the third person to suggest Rock Tape for me - I'll buy that next.
I was having pain when I am doing inversion motion on my feet, the rock tape sort of restrict that direction of movement, applied by one of my friend who is a doctor. Kinesio tape works the same but she says it comes out when you swim and they cost almost the same. She say their clinic abandoned kinesio tape altogether and opt for Rock Tape instead.
It has other usage as well, tape your blister prone area. Although it's going to be pricey. hmm promotion too much of a product.. I am usually quite sceptical about products I am about to use
Think I'll be another one for the rock tape too then. Inversion of the ankles on boulder strewn coastal paths is what set off my ankle problems me thinks. And then today, just to finish me off properly, was out on MBK - trying clip-in pedals for the first time this week ... well yes, you've guessed it - managed to stack it as failed to get feet out of clips in time ... and the upper bit of my sternum crashed onto the end of the handlebar - do NOT recommend this. So have nice bruise coming out from that. On the plus side, ankle randomly feeling way better this evening. Of course, have booked osteo appt for it, but may need that for fallout from bike stack!!
Is WIB Rocky Racooning at the mo? Ooops, missed that ... GOOD LUCK!
and for you too Debra if I don't get on here again. Hope the tape stays in place, the ankle holds together and the road sections provide much benefit
and on Saturday we have the Scottish Masters XC champs being hosted by our club. I am meant to be running but unsure re ankle although seriously tempted to tape it up and go for it. Have the likes of Angela Mudge (something of a female superhero in my book) and Kate Jenkins competing so even if I don't run I'll definitely be spectating. Not a hardcore XC course, but nice running none-the-less.
I tape my knee caps into place with it!!!
slaneuk wrote (see)
I ask as I'm a kinesiology practitioner so when I see people bandy around rock tape or kenesio tape etc I'm wondering what they are seeing with it
I am not sure if it is placebo, but I am glad it works and I din become over relying on it. I never tape myself again since last july

FOODIE FOR THOUGHT: Sara Gasbarra
BY JANET RAUSA FULLER For Sun-Times Media September 18, 2013 11:33AM
Sara Gasbarra, who is the founder of Verdura Garden Design, keeps up the gardens for the Hilton Hotel in Chicago and for other hotels and restaurants. She grows an assortment of herbs and vegetables which go straight from the rooftop to the dinner plate. | Al Podgorski~Chicago Sun-Times
Updated: September 18, 2013 11:48AM
You probably don't give the leaves atop the lemon tart at Floriole Cafe and Bakery a second thought, but Sara Gasbarra does.
The Ukrainian Village resident knows they're edible nasturtium leaves and seeing them gives her a little thrill, because she's the one who grew them.
As the owner of Verdura, Gasbarra designs and tends gardens for Chicago restaurants, among them Acadia, Nellcote, the Palmer House Hilton and Floriole, her first client. Her office for the past two years has been on rooftops and sidewalks, in soil and under the sun.
Gasbarra, 36, has gardened since she was a kid, before it was cool. In high school, "I just didn't tell my friends," she said. Her dad is Italian; at home in Glenview, they grew what Italians do — tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers — and atetheir harvest.
A while back, she was in one of those solid but non-creative office jobs at Northwestern University's medical school. She quit in 2008 with zero job leads and began volunteering at the Green City Market, where chefs shop. That led to a full-time gig as project manager of the market's Edible Gardens, where her urban gardening prowess really took root. When the Hilton Chicago on Michigan Avenue came calling in 2011, she knew it was time to leave Green City and start her own business.
Gasbarra gets an insider's view of restaurants, but she's not hanging out in the kitchen with the chefs. She typically starts planting in March and goes non-stop through the summer. Some days she barely pauses for a bite until dinner, though she will always pause to take photos of her work — those nasturtium leaves, for example — and post them on Instagram. Social media has been crucial to Verdura's growth, she says.
The ideal bakery: Floriole [1220 W. Webster] is so European. The stuff they produce is just beautiful and simple and perfect. I go in there and am truly amazed. My favorite thing in the world there, it's so seasonal, is the fraisier [strawberries layered with genoise and pastry cream]. I literally dream about it starting in February. The strawberries and the cream are so freaking good.
Lunch break: When I'm filthy dirty, and I'm in my yoga pants and gardening boots, it's Xoco [449 N. Clark]. There are so many restaurants in that area, but there you're in and out, quick service but really delicious. The cochinita pibil torta [roasted pork sandwich] is my favorite thing in the freaking world.
Being a regular: I spent way too much time at Big Star [1531 N. Damen]. I love the Bristol [2152 N. Damen] because it's such a great neighborhood spot. I'm always at Caffe Streets [1750 W. Division], too. They do great pourovers and straight-up iced coffee. Carriage House [1700 W. Division] is awesome. The shrimp and grits are fantastic, and I just love their cornbread skillet. It comes with this delicious whipped butter and jam.
Veggie love: I love Lula [2537 N. Kedzie]. I love going on Mondays for lunch or brunch. In the spring, I remember having sweet pea risotto with a poached egg — it was just so beautiful. Jason [Hammel] and the team do beautiful stuff with vegetables, really utilizing what's in season.
Tiki trend: Everyone's been talking about Three Dots and a Dash [435 N. Clark]. That place is really dangerous. Those cocktails are not light.

Reiserfs Experiencing Turbulent Updates
When Jeff Mahoney sent in a bunch of patches for reiserfs, he assumed that the filesystem would be frozen in maintenance mode from that point on. Things turned out differently.
The end of March, SUSE developer Jeff Mahoney had sent 35 patches to the kernel and reiserfs mailing lists. Most of them found their way into openSUSE, but not yet into the kernel. With the patch series, Mahoney wanted to bring kernel 2.6.30 to the current reiserfs state of openSUSE. He ended his thread with, "Once this is applied, I expect reiserfs to be in deep maintenance-only mode."
Shortly thereafter, Linus Torvalds responded that he merged the patches into the kernel. He advised Mahoney to thoroughly double-check the results, because he didn't have any remaining reiserfs partitions. Never to miss a joke, he ended his thread with "Heh, I hadn't expected even this" in response to Mahoney's expectation that reiserfs would go into maintenance mode.
Even though Novell needed to support the filesystem for its Enterprise products a couple more years, that seemed to be the end of the story. But a few days later kernel developer Ingo Molnar chimed in on the thread reporting that Frédéric Weisbecker, in the context of the kill-the-BKL project, was still working on removing big kernel locks (BKLs) from reiserfs. Reiserfs was a filesystem that still relied heavily on BKLs and many developers had been working on removing them as of Kernel 2.6.26. Molnar had created a special "tip:kill the Big Kernel Lock (BKL)" tree for the purpose, and Weisbecker was busily rewriting the reiserfs code to eliminate BKLs from it.
Because Weisbecker's BKL patches would change reiserfs in a fundamental way, they initially sat in a special -git tree and were only to flow into the new kernel after some intensive testing, at least not until Kernel 2.6.30. But Weisbecker's patches would be a boon for many reiserfs users. Not only would the filesystem cease using BKLs, but the locks that reiserfs subsequently needed would be by superblock (by attachment point as a rule) and not across the entire filesystem. It would lead to a performance leap on systems with multiple reiserfs partitions and multicore processors, a typical scenario for reiserfs in a server environment.

Tragedy in Norway: Breivik Sentenced
Just over a year ago, I shared information here about the tragic events in Norway and the legal process that would follow. Today the Norwegian court found Breivik sane and therefore legally responsible for killing 77 people. This decision will keep Breivik in prison for a least 21 years but likely more, as this maximum punishment under Norwegian Law may be enhanced if he is deemed a danger to society.
Interested in locating international news sources about this or other topics? One option is a Google "news" search. GMU patrons also have access to several news databases, including NewsBank which includes several hundred international newspapers, news services and broadcast media

The Second Anniversary of Dodd-Frank
Tomorrow it will be two years since Congress enacted the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. The law was designed to provide comprehensive reform to financial regulation in response to the major crisis that hit the U.S. financial system in 2008. The law's stated purpose is:
To promote the financial stability of the United States by improving accountability and transparency in the financial system, to end ''too big to fail'', to protect the American taxpayer by ending bailouts, to protect consumers from abusive financial services practices, and for other purposes.
This voluminous statute has spawned thousands of pages of regulation. Its provisions include the establishment of the Financial Stability Oversight Council, chaired by the Treasury Secretary and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
A Congressional Research Service Report summarizing the policy issues and provisions of the law is available here. Not surprisingly, the law has generated vocal adherents and detractors. A Google News search for "Dodd-Frank" and/or a search limited to "Blogs"* will reveal many of these opinions.
*To find blogs on Google: Search for the desired keyword>From the results page, expand the left hand toolbar at "More">Select "Blogs"
Happy Fourth of July!
Independence Day marks the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. But what exactly is this document? It is printed in Statutes at Large. It is included in the United States Code as one of "The Organic Laws of the United States of America." It has been mentioned periodically in Supreme Court decisions. Not surprisingly, the relevance of this document has been the subject of some debate in the legal academy. "Declaration of Independence" as a title search in HeinOnline will yield several articles.
Visit the National Archives website to view images of the Declaration of Independence and to read a brief history of this document. The original is housed in the Rotunda for the Charters of Freedom. You can also view a 1998 video of then members of the Supreme Court reading the complete text.
The law library will be closed on Wednesday, July 4 in observance of Independence Day. Enjoy the fireworks!

Gearing up for another round of quality cuts is Bonzai's latest vinyl venture "Bonzai Worx – Volume 3″. This pressing comes complete with four top drawer tracks and a couple of outstanding remixes from the very impressive roster of artists and labels Bonzai has to offer. Give your record bag a reason to exist and grab your limited copy, you will not be disappointed.
First up we have Metodi Hristov's remix of Mindgamers track "Can You Feel It". Metodi turns the cool meter way up with a superb big club friendly effort. All the goodness of house with the prog element shining through, super suave steady rhythm filled with tight percussion and a subtle kick. The big focus here is the awesome bassline backed up with a mesmerizing vocal which works an absolute treat.
Matan Caspi's remix of Chantola's "Make It Happen" is a perfect selection for vinyl as he drops a hint of tech into the prog house vibe while keeping the coolness and suave of the main sound, very well crafted remix, a little more synth work and some crisp guitar keeps the summer theme alive.
Paduraru's "Games For Girls" makes the cut with a strong and steady rhythm on the beats and a wonderful bassline adding extra weight. Top quality synth work here in a true progressive groove, on the break we get an off key piano that adds melancholy to the track. Big strings make a show and a well rounded track is the end product, top stuff destined for many boxes.
Loquai & Shimmer's very well received "Fly Fortress" is a must for this vinyl, kicking off into an awesome world of progressive vibes with very subtle yet highly effective melodies. Real cool steady rhythm with the kicks and percs, the melodies are enhanced with some brilliant rising pads and FX with a chunky bassline tying things up nicely.

Romanian born Cristian Paduraru is a well established producer and DJ on the scene. He is an extremely busy artist with a huge amount of releases and remixes under his belt across many many different labels. He is heavily involved with Christian Records and The Remix Label with an eclectic mixture of styles he can turn his hand to. In the mid nineties he took to the stage with a live performance act called Fire In Water with the style being acid breakbeat with ambient techno. Moving into the 2000's saw Cristian take to the studio as his main profession and the results are stunning. Today we see Cristian make his full Bonzai debut after brilliant remixes on Manu Riga's "Everything Comes To An End" and Pablo Gael's "Libelula", with the superb prog-tech hybrid, "Games For Girls EP".
The title track starts us off in Paduraru's signature style with his Deeptech mix. Strong and steady rhythm on the beats with a wonderful bassline adding extra weight. Top quality synth work here in a true progressive groove, on the break we get an off key piano that adds melancholy to the track. Big strings make a show and a well rounded track is the end product, top stuff destined for many boxes.
"Energetic Enthusiasm" takes on a more minimal approach with tech in mind. A very prominent electro kick takes the lead and builds up along with some quality percussions providing a perfect groove. On the break we get classic tech-house styled synth work with an added short vocal sample with great effect. Big party vibe on this that will have many floors bouncing!

Armstrong Earns Two GreenStep Awards
At Armstrong, we are committed to protecting the environment and using natural resources responsibly. Recently the flooring industry took notice of our efforts.
At the 4th Annual GreenStep Awards hosted by Floor Covering Weekly (FCW), we earned two awards: a GreenStep Promotion Award for our sponsorship of a "green" home exhibit at Epcot® and a GreenStep Product award for a new environmentally friendly flooring tile.
GreenStep Promotion Award
The GreenStep Promotion Award was given to Armstrong for being a sponsor of the VISION House® in INNOVATIONS at Epcot®. The VISION House is a ground-breaking exhibit that represents a modern 21st century home, designed with sustainable products and intelligent systems.
Inside the VISION House
As visitors tour the exhibit, they learn how to reduce their personal impact on the planet. The purpose of the exhibit is to show visitors that a sustainable lifestyle isn't a concept for the distant future, but completely achievable right now. more ►
What Does "FloorScore® Certified" Mean?
I never considered myself a "green" consumer, but I can't help noticing all of the news stories, magazine articles and blogs that talk about the dangers of the chemicals found in common household products and how they affect our health – everything from cleaning products to paint, furniture, plastic bottles, even the clothes we wear and the food we eat.
As a mother to a 5-year-old, I have become more conscious of green products and try to give my daughter the healthiest environment possible for her to grow up in. For example, I always buy organic food and products that are certified to be healthy. I don't want to risk her health by buying a product that could be toxic to our home.
The VISION House: Q&A with Armstrong VP, Mara Villanueva-Heras
On Earth Day, the VISION House, a new "green" model home exhibit opened at Epcot® at Walt Disney World®. VISION House showcases many environmentally friendly products, like hardwood flooring and cabinets, that visitors can install in their own homes. It's such an exciting project to be a part of that we decided to ask Mara Villanueva-Heras, VP-Marketing for Residential Floors, about Armstrong's involvement.
- Why did Armstrong become a sponsor for the VISION House exhibit in Innoventions at Epcot?
Floors are products we live on every day. A floor is a huge component of a room, both from a visual and lifestyle aspect. Armstrong is thrilled to have the opportunity to work with Green Builder® Media and Disney to show how typical, accessible products like ours can make an impact. The exhibit demonstrates that anybody can change the world by making positive changes in their own home.
Armstrong Products Featured in Exhibit at Epcot® Theme Park
We're excited to announce Armstrong Flooring and Cabinets are featured in a new exhibit at Epcot at Walt Disney World®, opening late spring, 2012!
VISION House®, which will be located in INNOVENTIONS at Epcot, is the first "green" house built at a Disney theme park. The new exhibit is part of Green Builder® Media's VISION House series, a group of demonstration homes built around the country to showcase green building and sustainable living ideas.

Peder I listened to the Axel F. samples one after the other without
"dissecting" the sound. I didn't hear a difference, that doesn't mean I
wouldn't hear a difference by an ABX test or by listening to it focused
and for two or three times instead just for one time. However, if there
isn't really significant loss, it doesn't matter, if there is or if
there isn't minimal loss, since the music anyway will sound different on
different gear.
Btw. I don't need a codec, it's just another layer that could cause
issues, even if it shouldn't cause issues, there always is an additional
risk. I simply store 48KHz WAV recordings.
For my individual dealing with audio recordings I can't imagine why I
ever should use MP3 or any other codec. I don't need data reduction, if
I listen to audio recordings, than I do it "conscious", I never ever
will take a walk and listen to music. When I take a walk I like the
sense perception I get by nature or even by a mega city (I prefer nature
to the city ;).
So even if a codec that was bad yesterday, but might be ok to my taste
today, should be available, I'm not interested, because it is something
additional, that is completely useless for me, but ever additional layer
does include an additional risk.
FLAC is absolutely ok, it's lossless, but I don't use it, because
there's no reason for me to use it.

cammonro "Eric W" (Connecticut USA) - See all my reviews
[Caveat: I have to confess that I'm a huge fan of the Marvel Thor mythology and have read the comics off and on through the years ever since I was a kid. I state that upfront so you understand that my review of this film is viewed through that lens. However, I still feel the film is fun and entertaining for everyone even if you're not that familiar with the character. There are at least three or four things in this film that are worth the price of admission alone.]
I can't imagine that a fan of the character Thor would be disappointed with this film. It builds on all the elements that Kenneth Branagh established in the first film and ups the ante across the board. Everything is bigger: the battles, the cast, the sets, the visual effects, the soundtrack, the entire scope. The costumes are amazing. I wish they looked this good the first time around. And Asgard is incredible. Alan Taylor has brought the eternal realm to life in a way that Branagh did not. It is still majestic but it feels much more real and actually "lived in".
Further, the actors from the first movie have really grown into their roles. Hemsworth and Hiddleston in particular are the very embodiment of their characters. Hiddleston has much more material to work with from an actor's perspective with regards to Loki - a tormented and duplicitous soul - but he's so good at it. Whereas Hemsworth plays the cocksure Thor in a much more understated fashion. Thor is not complex but has a big heart. Bringing him to life requires subtlety and Hemsworth nails it. Neither actor oversells their role. Not only that, they have tremendous chemistry with each other and every scene in which they are together steals the show. As a fan who realizes how horribly wrong these movies could've gone with such an outrageous premise, I am so grateful that Marvel found these two actors to play the most vital parts of the story.
The creators of the film version of Thor had a difficult choice integrating into the universe and tone that Favreau established in the first Iron Man. In the comics, there's magic and there's sci fi and other dimensions and all that stuff and you just accept it. In the reality-based technology-centric world Iron Man created, how do you introduce a viking god from space who soars around with a magic hammer? In fact, Favreau even admitted he had no idea how it could be done. However, Branagh did find a way and he did it by emphasizing the science fiction aspects of the mythology Jack Kirby and Stan Lee concocted 50 years ago. Taylor now had the unenviable job of taking that idea and running with it without it falling apart at the seams. In my opinion he succeeded. The result is Dark Elves in space ships. It's a bizarre mix and maybe a lot of people won't get it. But it feels like a comic book sprung to life and I loved it.
The only legitimate complaint that I feel this movie deserves is that at times it feels too compressed. (However, I also felt that way about the first film.) It's amazing that for such a short run time The Dark World truly does feel epic, but there's so much going on in this story between Earth and Asgard and the other realms that things don't always get enough time to breathe. I believe this strategy of Marvel is to keep moving the story forward at a brisk pace for the grander scheme of things while maintaining the widest possible appeal for a broad audience - but I'd like to them to linger a little more in a juicy chapter like this. I think even 5 or 10 minutes of added scenes could've put this film over the top and helped flush out certain characters' motives and let you feel more attachment to them. Alan Taylor has said it was very difficult for him to cut out several scenes and is the first Marvel director who has said he'd be keen on doing a Director's Cut. Boy would I love to see that!
Things I liked about The Dark World:
* Character arc of Thor - Thor is growing wiser and shrewder but still retaining his bravado. The lessons he experienced in the first film have made him question things more in this one. His relationship with Odin ebbs and flows like real life and in this film we see that father and son are not so different from each other. In the end Thor makes a surprising choice that mirrors his actions from the comics.
* Character arc of Loki - Loki finds redemption - or does he? His motives are always ambiguous and questionable and he certainly is headed on a darker path. However, the events that unfold here give you more insight into who he is and why he does the things he does
* The funeral scene - Not wanting to spoil things here but you'll know it when you see it. Amazing.
* Sci-fi/fantasy mashup - Star Wars meets Lord of the Rings. The comics was always a weird juxtaposition of seemingly incongruous ideas and this film embraces it and it works.
* Algrim the Kursed - wow! This guy is scary.
* Fun plot twists - Loki isn't the only trickster in this film!
* Thor and Jane Foster make a cute pair - others may disagree but their romance to me is very innocent and sweet and I feel she plays the starry eyed scientist bit to a tee. It's not a huge part of the film but their scenes work and it helps humanize Thor and keep him connected to Earth. I also am very old fashioned and I love how gallantly protective Thor is of Jane and I love that she is equally protective of him.
* Creative battle scenes - especially the last one which produces some ridiculous situations and leave's Thor's hammer Mjolnir VERY confused!
* A healthy dose of humor injected to keep the film from ever taking itself too seriously but not overdone
* Stellan Skarsg�rd as Erik Selvig - you see that Tony Stark is not the only one impacted by the events of Avengers. This man is a genius but Loki's mind games have really messed him up. Even so Skarsg�rd is a tremendous actor and really sells it. I enjoyed his part of the story and how he unravels the mystery of the convergence despite his mental state.
Bottom line this film is fun escapism ala Star Wars and Indiana Jones. Don't expect poignant existential validation or heavy handed political commentary. This film is a good time. It's also an exciting chapter in a much larger story that is the MCU. Enjoy the ride!

5.0 out of 5 stars Why no Blu Ray + DVD combo?,
This review is from: Thor: The Dark World [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
I loved this movie, but I'm very disappointed that there is no Blu Ray + DVD combo, only a single disc blu ray. For those of us that still collect blu rays, many of us enjoy the dvd to play in the car or on a lap top. I'm hoping this is not a trend for future Marvel Cinematic Universe films.

4.0 out of 5 stars Dark worlds and great jokes: THOR 2,
Anthony L. (London, England) - See all my reviews
If you would have told me in 2010, that a Shakesperean director, a hunky Australian, and a tall British TV actor would craft a hugely popular and profitable franchise centered around the Nordic gods...I would have asked what you were smoking. Today, it is clear that Marvel, under the lead of Kevin Feige, has crafted a winning formula that clearly works. The keys to Marvel's box office success include their careful building, relatable characters, and the fact that they are not afraid to mix genres, AND have fun while doing all of it. Thor 2: The Dark World follows this formula to a T (a big T, shaped like a hammer...). But that doesn't matter, because as I said before, the formula WORKS.
Well, not ALL of it works. The scientific mumbo-jumbo (courtesy of Portman and Skarsgard) is, quite frankly, embarrassing, and while Christopher Eccleston's Malekith may look like the badass lovechild of Nosferatu and Legolas, he's far from a compelling villain. This is not to mention a certain Deux ex Machina that rather staggers disbelief.
But enough of cons! Thor 2, headed by the gritty sensibilities of Alan Taylor (Game of Thrones), takes the world built by Kenneth Branagh, and ups the stakes, the chemistry, and the characters to new heights! It takes place in a fully realized and visually stunning world (look out for Iceland doubling as the realm of the dark elves), but never loses it's fantastic touch. Chris Hemsworth is (quite literally, erm) solid as Thor, but it is his supporting cast are the true scene stealers. Tom Hiddleston's devilishly good Loki is a highlight; scheming, tricking, and lying his way through the movie, all with a glint in his green eyes and an air of sarcasm. Thor 2 would not be half of what it is without Hiddleston. It's refreshing to see some brains instead of brawn in a superhero movie.
Another reason to to thank the gods is the expanding of Idris Elba's (that awesome charisma machine) character Heimdall, who, if not managing to *cancel* the apocalypse, at least delays it until further notice. Anthony Hopkins is gravely overqualified, but who cares - it's Hopkins and he's always excellent. Jamie Alexander, Rene Russo, and Natalie Portman each out-do their previous performances, and Kat Dennings is still absolutely hilarious. This is the most female-centric Marvel movie yet.
The action, including a dazzling aerial fight in Asgard, a brutal battle in an Asgardian prison, a twisty, unpredictable corker of a double-cross in the dark world, and a visually stunning and often hilarious climax of a battle...is some of the best I have seen Marvel put forth yet. It was always riveting and much appreciated.
In conclusion, Thor 2 sticks very closely to the tried-and-proven Marvel formula, meaning that there are some glitches and cliches. But on the whole, this is the best Marvel movie since The Avengers, and one of Marvel's best (certainly outpassing IM2, IM3, THOR, and HULK). Leave your brain at the door and enjoy. Thor 2 is a triumph. 4.5 convergences out of 5!
PS: As a total Norse mythology nut, I absolutely LOVED the mentions to Svartalfaheimr, Yggdrasil, and Midgard. I definitely recommend checking out the original myths; it makes the work Marvel has done so much more worthwhile! Cheers!

5.0 out of 5 stars Marvel scores again with entertaining Thor sequel,
J. Scheppler "Vampire fanatic" (Plano, TX USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Thor: The Dark World (2-Disc 3D Blu-ray + Blu-ray + Digital HD) (Blu-ray)
First off, I have to say that if you're looking for solid science in this movie, you're barking up the wrong tree and should buy yourself some Stephen B. Hawking and let the rest of us just enjoy a rip-roaring fun movie. The reviews that called to task the science in "Thor: The Dark World" just make me laugh. After all, this is a Marvel Universe movie, one in which a gamma irradiated scientist turns into a green monster when he's mad and in which a super soldier can sleep in ice for decades and wake up to rock spandex and a shield. Who cares if Jane and Erik Selvig spout nonsense? I mean, come on, can you honestly say you know what would happen if a bunch of dark elves decide to return the universe to darkness? No? Right, so let's move on shall we. "Thor: The Dark World" kicks cinematic butt, picking up where "The Avengers" left off with Thor putting out fires across the 9 Realms and Loki being kicked to the curb...er, dungeon...for trying to subjugate us poor Midgardians. When Jane Foster -- who is understandably bummed because her man didn't call even when he was in New York (really, Thor, you couldn't have checked in after the schwarma date with the other Avengers?) -- stumbles on this cool looking red stuff that The Big Bad Dark Elf Malekith wants, it sets in motion the events that lead to Thor forming a complicated alliance with Loki. That alliance is at the heart of the movie and provides the most riveting scenes. Good friends in real life, Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston know Thor and Loki respectively, inside and out, and give them depth and texture that in many ways make the Marvel Thor series the richest in terms of characterization. In particular, Hiddleston's Loki is psychologically complex and sympathetic while never losing his essential mischievousness. Loki is one of the most compelling villains in modern cinema thanks to Hiddleston. In "Thor: TDW," Stellan Skarsgard and Kat Dennings also shine, providing much of the comedy. Other high points of the movie are the look of Asgard and the rousing original score by Brian Tyler. There's a lot to love in this movie. Just don't expect a science class...

4.0 out of 5 stars My stars are for the movie not this blu ray set.,
This review is from: Thor: The Dark World (2-Disc 3D Blu-ray + Blu-ray + Digital HD) (Blu-ray)
I can't stand when movie studios try to cheap out and strip movie combo sets down. This set only contains the 3D blu-ray + 2D blu-ray + Digital Copy. No DVD. Why? If you go to Amazon.ca (Canada) if you don't know, They have a 3 disc set for this movie. 3D blu-ray + 2D bluray + DVD + Digital Copy. Why is Disney releaseing different sets in different markets. It's lame. Im sure they make enough money from these movies, they can throw the DVD and still make crap loads of money. Currently this is listed at $27.99 and in Canada it's listed at $39.99, my hope is it will drop down in price when it is finally released. I'd rather have the 3 disc myself.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tons of fun!,
Otto Correct (The Internet, USA) - See all my reviews
The first Thor film was quite a surprise to me and my wife. I was never into the comics (more of an X-Men and Spider-Man kid growing up) but we borrowed the DVD from a friend who was super into all the MCU movies and insisted we see the individual films that preceded the Avengers. Of the whole lot he lent us, Thor ended up being the surprise favorite (almost edging out Iron Man as my fav Marvel movie at that point). Here was a convincingly realized blend of sci-fi and fantasy that emphasized character relationships over flashy special effects (though it had tons of those too :D ) and starred a hero that was big on heart and easy to root for.
Thanks to a $5 Ticket Tuesday deal at the local cinema, my wife and I happily plunked down the ten bucks it took for her and me to see Thor: The Dark World. How does it stack up to its predecessor?
Honestly, its at least as good if not better than the first! The story goes that a long long time ago, in a galaxy far far away, the Dark Elves led by Malekith (oddly enough, played by my favorite doctor... maybe it was the ears?) wanna kill everything and the Asgardians, led by Thor's grandpa, kick their butts... well, almost. The Dark Elves have this thing called the Aether, basically a big dangerous mass of floating Pepsi, and it can apparently destroy all life, which the Dark Elves wanna use to do just that when the 9 realms align and allow easy (and random, as we'll soon see) travel between the realms. The Asgardians have hidden the Aether and the remaining Dark Elves lay in wait for another chance to strike.
As you may have guessed, the Dark Elves are evil. We also know they're evil because they look scary, they fly around in spaceships that look like ashen golf tees that are apparently coal powered given the soot that pours out of them (btw, how funny is it that I'm writing about elves in coal powered spaceships on December 24th?), they apparently sleep by being suspended from their faces in some HR Giger looking device straight outta Alien, and if one of the Dark Elves wants to become some kinda superwarrior, Malekith cuts open the guy's side, shoves a piece of charcoal in 'em, and turns him into the bass player from GWAR. As I said, they're evil.
Flash forward 5000 years to modern times, and the 9 realms are about to align again, as they do every 5000 years (incidentally, in this film, every planet inhabited with life apparently has the same length year as Earth does). On Asgard, Loki is being locked in prison forever (yeah, we all know how long that's gonna last) and Thor just got back from beating down one of the 9 realms that was rebelling against Asgard and is trying to celebrate with his warrior pals: the viking dude, the raven haired warrior chick who has a crush on him, and that three musketeers guy (now played by Chuck for some reason), but he can't because he's sad about Natalie Portman and misses her.
Back on earth, The scientist who had his mind controlled by Loki in the Avengers is crazy and running around England naked. Also in England is Natalie Portman who is trying to cope with Thor not being around by agreeing to a blind date with Roy from the IT Crowd when Darcy busts in and says they found something weird. Turns out they stumbled on a spot in an abandoned hallway where they can drop whatever they want into the spot and it disappears. What it ends up being is a place where the realms have intersected, creating a portal between dimensions (these portals will hereby be referred to as "plot holes"). To make a way too long summary shorter, Portman falls into a plot hole and finds the floating Pepsi, which absorbs into her body. Thor finds Portman and takes her to Asgard as the Dark Elves start to formulate their attack.
Will Thor manage to get the floating Pepsi out of Portman before its too late? Will Loki get out of jail? Will anyone actually trust him for some reason if he does? Will the Dark Elves use their magic Pepsi to destroy all life, even if that means they apparently die too? Will the plot holes provide many points of convenience for the otherwise impossible situations our heroes will find themselves in? Will ANY of the Asgardian gaurds finally start using guns since every one of their enemies seem to have them? Will the crazy scientist ever find PANTS????
Lest my sarcasm fool anyone, this movie, while fairly ridiculous, is also totally awesome, and I loved every second of it. As convoluted and crazy as some of the plot is, the movie manages to juggle it all pretty well and places it in a universe where this stuff actually seems like it can happen. The humor is abundant but never twee, the fantastic action sequences remind me of what potential the modern Star Wars films could've had if someone other than George Lucas had the creative control, and the strong interpersonal dynamics of the characters (a key strength of the first Thor movie) remain, never getting eclipsed by the great action.
If you hate these kind of comic book flicks, this one absolutely won't change your mind, but if you liked the first Thor, or any of the MCU movies, this is a *very* worthy entry, imho easily beating out Iron Man 2 and 3, as well as Captain America and either of the Hulk movies. Tons of fun! Keep it up, gang, I look forward to Thor 3!

5.0 out of 5 stars One of Marvel Studios best films yet!!,
James Marshall (Atlanta, GA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Thor: The Dark World (2-Disc 3D Blu-ray + Blu-ray + Digital HD) (Blu-ray)
I'm starting this off by saying I came in with very high expectations for this movie and I wasn't let down. I'm a lifelong comic reader and huge fan of Thor and everything Marvel. But, you don't need to be a fanboy to enjoy this movie.
Visual this movie fits into the fantasy realm and is one of the best vfx movies ever. They dive deeper into Asgard and take us to other realms never seen in the movies before. The story is great and has it all and was surprisingly funny,. Plot was rich with twist and turns and a great revelation a the very end straight out the comics. My only complaint was that it could of used a little bit more character development for the villain, Malekith the accursed. In the comics he is one of the most fierce and crazy villains out there and I though the movie could use one more scene to show that before the rest of the story gets going. That complaint aside the actor who played the role was great and Marvel continues to cast great actors for these roles. No one can ever play Thor and Loki again and the chemistry that Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston is amazing. And Anthony Hopkins always delivers.
Overall it's worth the watch for anyone and I found it much better than the first. They've set up this story line to continue making great sequels and I'll continue to fork over my hard earned cash to Marvel.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great action, hilarious comedy, and character improvement make this a hit,
Noah Arsenault "Winter's Read" (Washington, US) - See all my reviews
Thor: The Dark World is, in short, a hit. With a new and different threat, the battle takes place behind the lines, in wastelands, and on metropolis Earth, rather than the cold world and small town scene of the first film. Trickery, subtlety, and cunning take the place of brute force this time, and it's a good direction to take.
The characters, for the large part now established, were furthered well. Malekith (Christopher Eccleston) was played well, but could have spoken up a great deal more near the end. It should have been more shocking when he finally spoke English, in fact I don't recall the exact moment he started.
The action in this film was great, but skipped a few beats at times, which is forgivable this time with Loki's interchanges with Thor. Marvel did meet my expectations with intermittent comedy, once again. This sequel was full of it, and each time it was written and performed very well, and got a laugh from the whole audience.
The movie is family-friendly except for fantasy violence, two moments of direct violence, partial nudity (a character is shown in public on television, but is thankfully censored), and less worrying details seen here. See it in 3D, see it in 2D, either works. 3D doesn't stand out, for better or worse. All in all, Thor: The Dark World is worth seeing in cinemas.
P.S. Stay after all the credits roll, and you'll be doubly rewarded.
I was given early access to see the film by Walt Disney Studios. I was not required to write a positive review, and the opinions here are my own.

2.0 out of 5 stars Where's the combo pack?,
Quatermain (Iowa) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Thor: The Dark World (2-Disc 3D Blu-ray + Blu-ray + Digital HD) (Blu-ray)
As others have said -- the movie itself is VERY good. If I were only rating the show itself, I'd give it five stars.
But I have to rate the package as well. And this package is not a five star product. I do not want a Blu-ray/3D pack. I want a DVD/Blu-ray pack, which I thought had kind of become the norm. I don't have a Blu-ray in every room. Or in the vehicle for my daughter.
So until I see the DVD/Blu-ray, I'm afraid I'll have to wait on buying. Which is unfortunate because, as I said before, it's a very good show.

Haasan to Nandy
While the BJP avoided criticising the ban on the screening of Kamal Haasan's Vishwaroopam in Tamil Nadu, fearing it would antagonise Chief Minister J. Jayalalithaa, a cover story in the Organiser does not hesitate to assert that "it is strange that the ban on the movie should come so quickly" by "giving in to fringe elements who don't number more than a few hundreds". While the story focuses on Jayalalithaa's justification, it laments that "when it comes to threats from fringe groups belonging to some minority communities the state prefers to take quick action for the fear of large-scale violence".
The prominently displayed report, in fact, stretches its argument against the banning of Vishwaroopam to highlight the protests against Ashis Nandy's comments about corruption and the inability of writer Salman Rushdie to travel to Kolkata to promote the movie based on Midnight's Children. All of this is part of a trend that "reaffirmed the fact that India as a nation is still to come to grips with the modern ways of thinking that is prevalent in most of the developed world".
The article does not, however, hesitate to punch holes in Haasan's outbursts and Nandy's arguments. It objects to Haasan's threat to do an M.F. Husain, pointing out that even "Salman Rushdie could come and stay in Mumbai..." As for Nandy, the article objects to his alleged contention that West Bengal has been the cleanest state in the last few decades because the Left had been ruling it. It claims that Nandy's argument is "farfetched" because it ignores the "unrelenting corrupt ways and means adopted by the Left government" and so his remarks should be "condemned". The article does not demand his prosecution under the SC/ ST act.
Fearing Kerry
John Kerry's appointment of US secretary of state appears to have got on the nerves of the Sangh Parivar. An editorial in the Organiser says that "Terror as a tool of American duplicity" has been exposed. While the American response to the decapitation of an Indian soldier by Pakistani forces and the denial of David Headley's extradition to India have been used to couch the arguments, it is Kerry's appointment that appears to be the provocation for the saffron camp's harsh reaction.
The editorial, in fact, reminds readers that the newly appointed secretary of state is "the author of the Kerry-Lugar-Berman bill that provided more than USD 7.5 billion in five years to Pakistan" and highlights that it is John Kerry who maintained that "Pakistan 'has not got sufficient credit for its help in getting bin Laden... Kerry is one of the most fervent supporters of Pakistan, sometimes he almost sounds like the Pakistani foreign minister..."
The editorial claims that the Headley case should serve as evidence as to which way "the US would tilt if there is a serious confrontation between India and Pakistan" and consequently it is time India "took a serious call on this issue and showed America the mirror".
"America is nobody's friend. but it is friendlier to all terrorist regimes in the world and inimical to democracies everywhere," the editorial concludes.
Lokpal Blues
The Lokpal, which the government seeks to get approved during the forthcoming budget session of Parliament, has attracted the Sangh Parivar's attention. The editorial in Panchjanya highlights the BJP's "objections" to and Anna Hazare's "disapproval" of the revised proposals as an indicator of the "government's disinterest in providing clean and corruption free governance..."
The editorial objects to the government's decision to not bring the entire CBI under the Lokpal on the pretext of maintaining its autonomy. It also faults the proposal to not grant the Lokpal the last word on the transfer of officers investigating graft cases referred by the Lokpal itself. These two factors, the editorial suggests, will make the Lokpal a "toothless body", which will be nothing but a "betrayal" of the popular demand.
