In such a case, the icon blinks. � If SNAPSHOT % is pressed when �DIS� is set to �ON� ( pg. 22), the Stabiliser will be disabled. � During tape playback as well, all snapshot modes are available. However, the shutter sound is not heard. � During Snapshot recording, the image displayed in the viewfinder may be partially missing. However, there is no effect in the recorded image. � When a cable is connected to the AV connector, the shutter sound is not heard from the speaker, however it is recorded onto the tape.

Auto Focus
The camcorder�s Full Range AF system offers continuous shooting ability from close-up (as close as approx. 5 cm to the subject) to infinity. However, correct focus may not be obtainable in the situations listed below (in these cases use manual focusing): � When two subjects overlap in the same scene. � When illumination is low.* � When the subject has no contrast (difference in brightness and darkness), such as a flat, one-colour wall, or a clear, blue sky.* � When a dark object is barely visible in the viewfinder.* � When the scene contains minute patterns or identical patterns that are regularly repeated. � When the scene is affected by sunbeams or light reflecting off the surface of a body of water. � When shooting a scene with a high-contrast background.

Council health and safety inspector tried to investigate Hillsborough one year before disaster but was told 'not to stick his nose in', inquest hears
- Paul Jackson made aware of concerns over crush barriers in 1988
- On April 15, 1989, a barrier collapsed, crushing 96 Liverpool FC fans
- Sheffield City Council inspector told it was 'politically sensitive' area
- Tells inquest a number of councillors were Sheffield Wednesday fans
- Mr Jackson, police, council and Sheffield Wednesday are giving evidence
A health and safety inspector has revealed he raised concerns about the Hillsborough stadium 12 months before the disaster but was told by his superiors to 'keep his nose out'.
Paul Jackson, who worked for Sheffield City Council's Environmental Protection Unit, claims he had been made aware of concerns over the crush barriers, their height and spacings a year before the tragedy which killed 96 Liverpool fans.
But on April 15, 1989, one of the crash barriers gave way, crushing dozens to death in Sheffield Wednesday's ground as Liverpool FC took on Nottingham Forest at the start of the FA Cup semi-final.
'Keep your nose out': A health and safety inspector has revealed he raised concerns about the barriers at Hillsborough in 1988 but he was told it was a 'politically sensitive' area
Today, Mr Jackson told an inquest he was ordered to turn a blind eye to the issues.
He also claimed that a number of councillors were Sheffield Wednesday fans, making it 'politically sensitive'.
'I had been told there was problems with the barriers and I had been told not to get involved with it,'
he told the Warrington hearing.
He said before he went on a visit to the stadium in 1988, his line managers told him: 'Just don't go into that area. Not to stick my nose in.
'That it was politically sensitive and that I should keep out of it.
'There had been previous concerns over them.'
Christina Lambert QC, counsel for the inquests, asked if this caused him 'disquiet'.
Mr Jackson said: 'It was sort of the approach on safety generally,' adding: 'In terms of things that happened at Sheffield City Council at the time, not terribly unusual.'
The witness said he believed 'other parts' of the council would deal with the matter and it was an 'area looked after by somebody else.'
He said he made his own visit to Hillsborough to look at the barriers.
There he saw Dr Wilfred Eastwood, the club's engineering adviser, a man of 'strong opinions' who 'knew his own mind'.
Inquest: Mr Jackson was questioned by lawyers of the 96 victims of the tragedy as part of a hearing to uncover what happened in the run up to the disaster. Police and council workers will also give evidence
Mr Jackson added: 'I left it with the building surveyor and Dr Eastwood, who also made it clear he really did not want us there.'
Ms Lambert continued: 'But you could have no confidence that they would act on these problems with the crash barriers?'
Mr Jackson replied: 'I did not have any great confidence.'
The jury heard Mr Jackson had made a statement to West Midlands Police in 1989 and he described a 'culture that contributed to the problem' concerning the council's approach to safety.
But when he gave the statement to police, Mr Jackson said he did not 'bring up' the matter of being told to 'keep his nose out' of the barriers problem at Hillsborough.
Former council members have been questioned as well as representatives from Sheffield Wednesday FC and South Yorkshire Police.
The hearing in Warrington continues.

Posted Friday night, July 21, 2017.
"Well, Napoleon finished a little bit bad. But I asked that. So I asked the president, so what about Napoleon? He said: 'No, no, no. What he did was incredible. He designed Paris.'…The street grid, the way they work, you know, the spokes. He did so many things even beyond. And his one problem is he didn't go to Russia that night because he had extracurricular activities, and they froze to death. How many times has Russia been saved by the weather?"---from President Donald Trump's interview with reporters from the New York Times, Wednesday, July 19, 2017.
I'm beginning to think our Mr President Trump really is nuts.
I go back and forth on this.
I'm in the habit of calling him a lunatic and sometimes I refer to him as our Mad King. But that's usually just me being mean.
What I really think is that what we're seeing is behavior and hearing talk that looks and sounds crazy because it's just so wrong! I mean wrong as in not correct or appropriate. What's on display day in and day out is evidence that he's wholly unfit for the job. We're seeing an incompetent man trying to do a job he has no idea how to do, a stupid man thinking he's smart, a weak man and frightened man trying to act and sound tough, and a crooked and morally compromised man trying desperately to hide his corrupt and immoral doings and dealings, and all this trying and flailing and failing with no understanding why he's failing or what he really should be trying to do results in crazy talk and crazy behavior without his actually having to be...non compos mentis.
But after reading the excerpts from his interview with the New York Times, you really do have to wonder.
Just the fact that it seems that in his mind the most important thing that happened on his trip to France was that there were lots of balloons along the parade route is enough for pause. But you see on the page an exhibition of his intellectual, mental, and psychological unfitness for the job--- see the disjointedness of what passes for his thinking, the general incoherence and self-contradicting nature of his "ideas" and opinions, how he doesn't even bother to try to connect the dots he's laid out for himself, and that it all makes perfect sense to him; the inarticulateness of his pronouncements in which he seems to struggle with the most basic English; his certainty that rules don't apply to him, that he's not bound by law, protocol, tradition, common decency, and simple good manners, and the smug satisfaction he takes in that self-awarded lack of constraint; the brazen disregard for the truth and his complete confidence that the facts are whatever he needs them to be, that events happened however he says they did, that reality is defined by his word; the stunning ignorance of policy, law, history, economics, and the simple day in and day out routine dealing with minor issues that take up most of a president's workday, the even more stunning signs that he doesn't know how much he doesn't know, and, the most stunning fact of all, that he truly believes he knows all he needs to know, partly from watching TV, partly from listening to friends like "Jim," but mostly by virtue of his being Donald Trump---and it's almost impossible not to conclude the guy is nuts.
Loony. Barmy. Bonkers. Buggy. Bananas. Daft. Cuckoo. Mad as a hatter. Completely mushuggah.
The train is coming off the rails. Screws are loose. Marbles are missing. The elevator isn't reaching the top floor. Bats are swooping through the belfry. There are fewer than fifty-two cards in the deck.
He has issues.
Mainly, he appears to be delusional. He seems to think he's President.
I'm not trying to be a wiseguy here. That's not a half-clever way of me saying he's failing at the job of presidenting, he's just the last one to know. I'm not calling him an illegitimate President. I'm not slyly referring to his being Putin's patsy and stooge. I'm not leading into a recap of how he's fumbled away the President of the United States' historical role as leader of the free world and how other world leaders view him as a clown and a boor and a bungler and a dope. I'm not pointing out that Senators and House Members of his own party reportedly look at him with a mixture of frustration, embarrassment, scorn, and contempt.
All this is true and add up to his not being what a President of the United States should be. His being unwilling and even unable to face the fact or having any idea how to fix it if he was and was able doesn't make him crazy, although it may be driving him crazy and the rest of the country along with him. It just marks him as all too typically human.
Very few of us have the humility, insight, self-awareness, and courage to admit to our failures, foibles, and mistakes. We're generally vain and self-deluded as to our own virtues, abilities, talents, and strengths. That makes us dumb but not nuts.
But I mean he thinks he's President the way supposedly crazy characters in old movies and TV shows thought they were Napoleon.
He has delusions of grandeur and is living in a world inside his own head where he is the ultra-competent, universally admired even beloved dominant male, a hero to all other men, the idol of all women, the savior of all the people.
Symptomatically, he believes that presidenting is simply a matter of Donald Trump revealing himself in all his glory; that the law is whatever he declares it to be; that bravado and boasting, bullying and bluster are all there is to leadership; that his saying something's so is all it takes to make it so; that believing your own self-advertisements takes the place of hard work, actual achievement, and real success.
Anyway, that's my opinion tonight. Like I said, I go back and forth. Check in in the morning, and I might be back to my default position, which I said up top is that he seems crazy because he's so unfit for the job in every way that everything he does and says is out of whack.
He's an incompetent driver trying to drive a semi loaded with dynamite down a steep and sharply curving mountain road with one eye closed. The truck is careening crazily out of control and he's in a crazed panic but that doesn't mean he's crazy. It just means that if he doesn't crash the truck on this run, the keys need to be taken away from him before he tries to make the next one, because whether or not he is crazy, having him for our president is just nuts.

James Baldwin on why movie stars aren't allowed to act:
The distance between oneself---the audience---and a screen performer is an absolute: a paradoxical absolute, masquerading as intimacy. No one, for example, will ever really know whether Katherine Hepburn or Bette Davis or Humphrey Bogart or Spencer Tracy or Clark Gable---or John Wayne---can, or could, really act, or not, nor does anyone care: acting is not what they are required to do. Their acting ability, so far from being what attracts their audience, can often be what drives their audience away. One does not go to see them act: one goes to watch them be. One does not go to see Humphrey Bogart, as Sam Spade: one goes to see Sam Spade, as Humphrey Bogart. I don't wish, here, to belabor a point to which we shall, presently, and somewhat elaborately, be compelled to return: but, *no one,* I read somewhere, a long time ago, *makes his escape personality black.* That the movie star is an "escape" personality indicates one of the irreducible dangers to which the moviegoer is exposed: the danger of surrendering to the corroboration of one's fantasies as they are thrown back from the screen. The danger is as great for us as for the performer: Bette Davis may have longed, all these years, to play Mrs. Alving in Ghosts, and Spencer Tracy may have carried with him to the grave an unfulfilled King Lear---nobody was about to let them try it, for fear that their public would feel themselves betrayed. This is one of the reasons that Joan Crawford, for example, doesn't like the the film Rain, in which she starred. God knows that it's not a very good picture, but Crawford didn't write the abysmal script. She made the mistake, and very honorably, after all, of trying to be Miss Sadie Thompson instead of Miss Joan Crawford, and the kids didn't like that at all.

Yossarian, in his old age, contemplates the state of the world from his hospital bed. Heller wrote this in 1994.
A prick in the White House? It would not be the first time. Another oil tanker had broken up. There was radiation. Garbage. Pesticides, toxic waste, and free enterprise. There were enemies of abortion who wished to inflict the death penalty on everyone who was not pro-life. There was mediocrity in government, and self-interest too. There was trouble in Israel. These were not mere delusions. He was not making them up. Soon they would be cloning human embryos for sale, fun, and replacement parts. Men earned millions producing nothing more substantial than changes in ownership. The Cold War was over and there was still no peace on earth. Nothing made sense and neither did everything else. People did things without knowing why and then tried to find out.

"President Trump is the greatest thing that's happened to this country," said Luther Strange, who was appointed to the Alabama Senate seat vacated by Jeff Sessions. "I consider it a biblical miracle that he's here."---from an op-ed in the New York Times by Timothy Egan. July 14, 2017
Read your bible.
You want to understand how Right Wing Christians reconcile their professed Christian faith with their support---enthusiastic and apparently whole-hearted support---for the most profane and morally and spiritually bankrupt man to ever hold the office of president, the answer is there in the bible, specifically in the story of David.
King David is far from a moral paragon. He is a hero not a saint. The traditional moral of the story of David and Goliath is that a seemingly weak person who has courage and faith can stand up to and triumph over gigantic opposition, but the actual biblical lesson is that God is on the side of the more efficient and ruthless killers and woe betide any enemies who dare challenge his chosen people. David doesn't kill Goliath with his slingshot. He stuns him, and then while Goliath is sprawled on the ground, he takes the giant's sword, finishes him off, and cuts off his head for a trophy. Mercy is not one of David's salient virtues.
The other story everybody knows is the story of Bathsheba. In that David is not even a hero. He's an aging lech who arranges to get a man killed so that he can have the man's beautiful young wife for himself.
It's a given that David is a good, wise, and even wise king, but going by the stories what he is, first and foremost, is a successful and ruthless warrior king. His entire reign is marked by war, strife, plots and counterplots, treasons, murder, and bloody deaths. The two books of Samuel that constitute the epic of David are as violent and brutal, if not as poetic, as the Iliad, with David playing the combined roles of Odysseus, Achilles, and Agamemnon, often displaying the worst and most ignoble qualities of all three without showing compensating signs of their best.
Beyond that, he's the patriarch of a fractious and bloody-minded family that rivals the House of Atreus in internecine murderousness, fratricidal jealousy, filial rebellion, and sexual deviance. Next to the ben-Davids, the Lannisters look almost warm and loving.
"Now therefore the sword shall never depart from your house..." proclaimed the prophet Nathan, delivering God's punishment for David's sins.
David's second son Absalom murdered his older brother Amnon because Amnon raped their sister Tamar. Absalom died a ridiculous death in a war against his father. David's son by Bathsheba, Solomon, as one of his first acts when he became king, ordered the assassination of his half-brother Adonijah to pre-empt Adonijah's challenging his claim on the throne.
Not nice people.
Yet, with all that, David is, after Moses, the greatest hero of the Old Testament. He's God's favorite. His name literally means Beloved of God. It's from his house the Messiah is to be born.
The point is that even a man as flawed and sinful as David can find favor in God's eyes as long as he acknowledges God's greatness and answers to His will. God has been long in the habit of using sinners for His purposes. And as we are all sinners and we are all tools for him to use according to His needs, it's not for us to judge when He decides to use someone as flawed and sinful as Donald Trump. It's all part of the plan.
It would seem then that God's plan includes spreading fear and loathing of Muslims and Mexicans, turning away war refugees, deporting people by the millions, breaking up countless families in the process, taking health care away from many millions more, leaving children, old people, the poor, and unfortunate to suffer and die, and in short, having us as a Christian nation ignoring Matthew 25.
Apparently, there's still a generational conflict between Jesus and his dad. I thought they'd resolved that. But I'm surprised that Christians are supposed to side with the old man.
Never mind.
Trump's dark, pessimistic, paranoid and fear-filled nightmare vision of life in 21st Century America is perfectly in keeping with Right Wing Christianity. Remember, it's an Apocalyptic religion. Alongside their literal reading of Genesis is a literal reading of Revelations. We are living in the end times.
Those stupid books still sell. Intelligent and sensible people listen to Trump's diatribes and hear the ravings of a paranoid madman projecting his own inner terror of being under siege from all sides onto the world around him. They listen and hear the echoes of a prophet. What most people recognize for the brazen demagoguery it is resonates with them as allusive to one the few passages from the Gospels they seem to have taken to heart, Matthew 24:36:44...
But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only. As were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of man. For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and they did not know until the flood came and swept them all away, so will be the coming of the Son of man. Then two men will be in the field; one is taken and one is left. Two women will be grinding at the mill; one is taken and one is left. Watch therefore, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming. But know this, that if the householder had known in what part of the night the thief was coming, he would have watched and would not have let his house be broken into. Therefore you also must be ready; for the Son of man is coming at an hour you do not expect.
…and the only one of the Beatitudes they quote regularly and with fervor, Matthew 5:11-12:
Blessed are you when men revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so men persecuted the prophets who were before you.
They love feeling persecuted, and the main way they think they're persecuted is in their being denied their religious liberty to impose their religious beliefs on the rest of us.
Which brings us to the most direct and practical evidence that Trump is a good servant of God's will: he's already moved to protect that liberty.
He started with the appointment of Neil Gorsuch.
They anticipate that he will bring about the end of abortion rights and marriage equality.
Ultimately, they hope he will save the country from the human activity they seem to fear and hate most.
Particularly when it's non-procreative and experienced and enjoyed by young women without permission from male authorities.
And by men experiencing and enjoying it with other men.
Ironic isn't it, that they're looking to the man Michelle Goldberg, writing in the New York Times, calls accurately "an erotically incontinent libertine" to be their champion in their fight to undo the sexual revolution?
But there's no irony in it as far as they're concerned, and no hypocrisy either. It's divine business as usual. Trump is serving the purposes of the malicious, joy-hating, lunatic wizard they call God.
Definitely read Michelle Goldberg's op-ed The Playboy President and Women's Health.

It was 2001. He had arrived in Texas at the start of the summer. He came from Dhaka, in Bangladesh, by the way of two years in New York City. Here on the fringes of the Dallas metroplex, he began his day at 5 a.m., dressing quickly at his boss' house, where he was living, and rushing to get behind the counter before dawn. He sold County Time lemonade and Tahitian Treat punch, Coors Light and ten-cent candies, Gillette razors and Copenhagen tobacco products until midnight or 1 a.m., mining the Dallas Morning News for sports scores and other flint for counter chatter, trying out on customers the pleasantries he was still learning, squeezing in as many of the five prayers as he could manage. Then he returned home to shower, eat, and catch his winks before the cycle resumed.
Selling American three tamales for a dollar was a strange landing for a twenty-seven-year-old who had trained to command fighter jets and qualified as a Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer. But so it is with many who leave their native soil and find that to rise, they must first sink into the fresh earth below. Raisuddin was no longer a Bangladesh Air Force man. He was a Buckner Food Mart man.

With their bid to roll back the Affordable Care Act only a vote away from collapse, Republican leaders scrambled Thursday to rally GOP senators behind revised healthcare legislation in hopes of passing it next week.
The new version — which represents Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's latest bid to unite his fractious caucus — would still enact historic cuts in federal healthcare assistance to low- and moderate-income Americans and fundamentally scale back Medicaid's half-century-old guarantee of health coverage for the poor.
I like that phrase in there, about McConnell's "fractious caucus." It's a near tautology. Caucus' are by nature fractious. But the headline on the story, as headlines unfortunately often have to do, reduces something amusing to the banal:
Divided Senate Republicans unveil new version of Obamacare repeal bill
Divided Senate Republicans just doesn't cover it the way fractious caucus does.
They're certainly fractious. But divided. How are they divided? They're all in agreement. They're all Republicans, and the Republican position on health care is the same as it is on every other proposition that the government should do things to take care of our weakest and most unfortunate fellow Americans---Too bad for THEM!
They're not divided. They're just having disagreements about how many people they can get away with letting die.
On the one hand you have the likes of Rand Paul, Mike Lee, and Ted Cruz---who, by the way, is the Devil or at least one of his demons. Their position is "All of them! Let them all die! That'll teach them for having had the temerity to make demands on our consciences and wallets when we're so busy looking out for Number One!"
On the other you have the likes of Dean Heller, Lisa Murkowski, and Shelly Moore Capito, whose position is "Well, I'd rather none but if they have to do, as long as few of them are my voters, I can deal with it."
In between are the majority of them whose position is, "Whatever. What do I care? It's not my lookout. Just as long as my donors get their tax cuts."
All on her lonesome is Susan Collins, the only Republican who seems the least bit bothered by the idea of millions of people being left to suffer and die and their families go bankrupt just to give Donald Trump some unearned bragging rights. And her commitment to basic decency doesn't seem all that firm, probably because she is all on her own.
As you've probably guessed, I'm not optimistic that Mitch McConnell will fail to get Affordable Care Act repealed. I think that if there was a real chance it would be defeated, it would already be defeated, in fact if not act---there'd be five Republican senators who'd already loudly and emphatically made clear that for reasons of common decency and pragmatism they would be voting No, no matter what. Whatever they might believe as good Republicans about government aid of any kind, they'd be pointing out that repealing Obamacare in order to replace it with empty promises that don't mask the gratuitous cruelty would throw the entire health care system into chaos and cost everybody, including the short-sighted greedy rich bastards demanding their tax cuts, far more money than is already being spent.
But as it stands, there aren't even the three it would take to defeat the bill or at least make Mitch McConnell pull it again.
Besides Collins, who as I said is shaky, the only principled NO is coming from Rand Paul, and his principles are evil-minded. He is the most passionate and committed disciple of selfishness and greed in his caucus. If in the forced march through a life full of suffering and sorrow we all take, the Democratic ideal is "Nobody gets left behind," while the Republican is "You're on your own and too bad for you if you can't keep up," Rand Paul is for going back and shooting those who are too weak and fall behind.
At Slate, Jim Newell doubts there'll be the one more.
In one reality, all of the remaining holdout senators come out together to announce that they can't support the motion to proceed, and the effort dies. Safety in numbers.
In another, no additional senator comes out to announce that he or she can't support the motion to proceed. Portman, Capito, and Hoeven are convinced well enough that all of that loose money in the bill can be collected to ensure that low-income people have some sort of quasi-private options for obtaining medical care. Murkowski, who got a carve-out in the bill released Thursday, accepts it. McConnell assures Heller that he'll make all the necessary phone calls on his behalf to help him find good-paying private-sector work come January. The Congressional Budget Office score comes out, and it's not great, but since President Donald Trump's Health and Human Services Department will be scoring the Cruz amendment instead of CBO, the worst of the bill's effects on those with pre-existing conditions will be masked. The bill proceeds to the floor, a vote-o-rama of amendments occurs, McConnell cleans the bill up at the end, and the bill passes.
Any third Republican senator could have given a press conference Thursday afternoon and killed the bill. But it didn't happen. Instead of finding their exit ramp off the bill, they're trying to find their way to yes.
I like the way Newell slyly implies Heller's headed for defeat in November and that he's a craven enough opportunist that he'll vote to screw his voters on the way out the Senate door if he's sure it'll bet him a cushy job as a lobbyist or corporate board member.
The bill has been tweaked to make it less obviously mean and less immediately rewarding to the rich greedy bastards demanding their tax cuts, but it's still the same in effect and intent, punishing the poor and the sick, reopening the market to fly by night companies selling worthless policies to th naive and desperate, giving all insurance companies permission to screw all their policy holders even those who think their employer provided insurance keeps them safe, and furthering the realization of Paul Ryan's drunken frat boy dream of ending Medicaid on the way to ending Medicare and Social Security as well, and fifty Republican senators are apparently fine with that, and that's what makes them Republicans.
One of the reasons the political press corps were too slow to take Trump seriously is that they didn't take Republican voters seriously---that is, they didn't see them for what they are or listen to what they said they wanted. For decades they've been covering "conservatives" as jess plain folks who were naturally suspicious of Big Government and the East and West Coast elites presuming to tell them how to run their lives and their political leaders in Washington as a mix of moderates and even a few liberals of the type who'd held no sway in the party since at least 1994. The GOP has been moved radically to the right by Right Wing corporatists who made common cause with Right Wing Christians and gathered in the white small town and suburban middle class by exploiting its fears, hatreds, bigotry, racism, and greed, promising them a share of the plunder, and training them to blame it on THEM, those others when the money didn't come through. The fractious national coalition has been united in its insistence that "It's all for us. There's none for you. And any attempt on your part to make us share marks you as parasites and thieves."
That's today's GOP, and, with the exception of Collins, all the Republicans in the Senate are comfortably at home within it. Which is why I'm not optimistic that third Senator will turn up. The ACA is based on the proposition that there are things we all ought to share.
I'm not optimistic, but I'm not defeatist. Call your senators. And your Representative in case they talk to their colleagues in the upper chamber and because if the repeal passes he/she will have to vote on it again. I've made my calls. I'll make them again. I've also called the White House. What the hell? He did promise not to cut Medicaid and he's called the AHCA mean. Worth reminding him. And at least we'll have the satisfaction of knowing he's thrown another tantrum when he's handed the message slips when he gets home from France and sees more proof he's not universally loved.
I'm waxing poetical there, but you get the point. Don't take me literally, but take me seriously and call.
The White House phone number is 202.456.1414.
The Senate's switchboard number is 202.224.4124.

Henry Thoreau gave up his scandalous life
To live among the sand cranes and the ants.
He was a little afraid of women, but he
Kept company with his handsome language.
His cold look made many men uneasy.
He would know each spring day which blossom
Would boldly open; he kept track of that.
Mostly, he lived extravagantly alone.

There's all kinds of evil at work behind the Republican plans to repeal Obamacare. Thousands of people will die and that is by design. The masses have to be taught a lesson. They must be reminded of their place in the grand scheme of things. Near the bottom. They must learn who they can turn to when they're hurting, sick, or in trouble. No one.
Not the government, at any rate.
The determined drive to repeal Obamacare and "replace" it with empty promises and needless cruelties all in the cause of saving a few rich people some money on their tax bills is a perfect expression of the Right Wing corporatism of the rich greedy bastards who own the Republican Party and who are the force driving the effort to repeal.
You're on your own. Your welfare is your own lookout. You are responsible for no one but yourself, and no one is responsible for you, and if you can't take care of your own needs, you have no one to blame but yourself, and you might as well crawl off into a corner and die.
It's Social Darwinism and the crassest materialism. Survival of the fittest and fitness is determined by wealth. The more money and property you have, the fitter you are and the more deserving of survival. Your worth as a human being is determined by your worth as a line on the national balance sheet.
Mostly, though, what's at work is selfishness and greed.
The donors want their tax cuts now!
Not quite right to say most Republicans are fine with this. Mostly they just accept it as the way things have to be. If they think about it. Mostly they don't. They don't let themselves. They deny that the dire things that are going to happen are going to happen. Miracles will save us. God or the marketplace will provide. For many Republicans those are the same entities.
God works in monetary ways his wonders to perform and he expects to make a profit while he's at and expects you to make one too.
The market will provide either by making available cheap health insurance policies that cover barely more than a flu shot or through all those malingerers and cheats leeching off Medicaid getting off their butts and finding well-paying jobs at companies that offer gold-plated insurance benefits.
God provides through the charity of the faithful and by performing the odd, capricious miracle. That dollar you put in the jar on the counter at the convenience store or donate to her desperate parents' GoFundMe page for little Susie's open heart surgery will multiply like the loaves and fishes into whatever the surgery and the follow up treatments cost.

In a city swollen by refugees but still mostly at peace, or at least not openly at war, a young man met a young woman in a classroom and did not speak to her. For many days. His name was Saeed and her name was Nadia and he had a beard, not a full beard, more a studiously maintained stubble, and she was always clad from the tips of her toes to the bottom of her jugular notch in a flowing black robe. Back then people continued to enjoy the luxury of wearing more or less what they wanted to wear, clothing and hair wise, within certain bounds of course, and so these choices meant something.
It might seem odd that in cities teetering at the edge of the abyss young people still go to class---in this case an evening class on corporate identity and product branding---but that is the way of things, with cities as with life, for one moment we are pottering about our errands as usual and the next we are dying, and our eternally impending ending does not put a stop to our transient beginnings and middles until the instant when it does.
Saeed noticed that Nadia had a beauty mark on her neck, a tawny oval that sometimes, rarely but not never, moved with her pulse.

Another very short essay.
I know you know this. But your confreres online don't seem to know, and it's up to me to set them straight. So you can relax. I'm not talking to you. I'm talking to them. Telling them things they ought to know but don't. Things you and I know as a matter of course. But consider this.
We all know things we don't actually know. That is, when the moment calls for it, knowledge we called on just the other day, deserts us. It just doesn't figure in our thinking. Our feelings crowd it out. We feel rather than know, and what we feel is the way we'd like the argument to go or need it to go. We feel our own right-ness and righteousness. We know we are right because we feel we are right. That's what it comes down to. We know we are right even if the facts are against us. And when that happens, we treat that "knowledge" as fact and continue arguing from there.

On the way out of the movie theater last night, we followed a pair of couples in their thirties on a double date who'd just seen Spider-Man: Homecoming too. Sounded like they all liked it, but the snatch of their conversation I overheard was about Wonder Woman. Seems that one of the two women didn't like it.
Actually, she hated it.
She thought it was stupid.
It wasn't "real."
I don't think she meant real as in realistic and she thinks Greek gods are mere fantasy while teenagers being bitten by radioactive spiders and gaining superpowers is the sort of thing that happens all the time in real life.
I think she meant that Wonder Woman the movie is grounded in comic books and myth while Spider-Man: Homecoming is grounded in the reality of being a teenager in contemporary New York City.
They tell pretty much the same story. An innocent and naive hero sets out on a quest to do the world a great good and n the process learns that the world is a darker place than they knew and people more complicated and not necessarily as good and deserving as he/she supposed. Diana learns this lesson more deeply and with greater pain and to her own self-disillusionment, but that's because she's part of a tragedy and Peter is still living in a comedy.
Spider-Man in the Avengers series appears to be one of the comic heroes, along with Ant-Man, Doctor Strange, and the Guardians of the Galaxy, and as things are trending it looks like it's the comic heroes who are going to save the day.
Tragic heroes fail even if they survive their ordeals. Comic heroes succeed even if they die.
Spider-Man succeeds and does not die. Wonder Woman fails at the end of her movie.
It's hard to tell what Zack Snyder intends for the Justice League franchise. His Superman and Batman are tragic figures. But I can't tell from the Justice League trailer how he sees Wonder Woman. It looks like she's the most fun character. That's probably mostly Gal Gadot's doing, but maybe Snyder sees her as redemptive figure.
Clark Kent and Bruce Wayne are divided personalities, and both get lost in their other selves. Superman and Batman are identities separate from their "real" selves. That's tragic in different ways for both of them. Clark is pulled towards giving himself up to other people's idea of who he is, which is a form of self-erasure. Bruce is pulled toward giving into his own demonic impulses, to become nothing more than an agent of his desire to punish, which is a form of self-destruction. Diana is completely her own self. Wonder Woman is just a description of her in her armor. We'll see if her example and her affection can save then from themselves.
Batman has forgotten what it's like to be a hero. He needs reminding, and maybe Diana will do the reminding.
Superman inspires the other heroes and gives hope to the people of Earth. But who inspires him? Who gives him hope? I'm hoping it turns out to be Wonder Woman.
Meanwhile, over in that other universe, Peter is having identity issues too. But that's because he's fifteen years old. He's having normal trouble trying to figure out who he is and what kind of adult he wants to be and what career path to choose. It just happens that his choices include superhero. There's nothing neurotic or tragic about it, at least for now.
Both Diana and Peter are fundamentally simple characters and in a way the same character or rather, as I suggested, the same folk tale type. But Peter's life is more complex. More people in it whose interests, needs, storylines are at odds with his own. And that's why, as much as I enjoyed Wonder Woman and didn't think it was at all stupid, Spider-Man: Homecoming is more my kind of movie. It has more people in it.
I tend to like any type of movie that has a large cast of interesting and well-played supporting characters, and that's been one of the Avengers series strengths. The DC movies of the 21st Century, including Christopher Nolan's Batmans, are to my mind disappointingly underpopulated. Wonder Woman continues the trend.
Chris Pine is terrific a Steve Trevor, and he's more than the love interest. He's the second lead. But he and Gadot are pretty much all on their own. I know people were thrilled to see Princess Buttercup as an Amazon Warrior, but that's all Robin Wright's Antiope is. She's defined by her role as Diana's trainer and the advocate for Diana's ambition. Other than that she has no character of her own. Hippolyta (Connie Nielsen) is also defined by Diana's ambition. Like Antiope, she's an attitude, not a character. Steve's team of commandos and his right-hand "man" Etta have more to do plot-wise and more to say for themselves character-wise, but Etta, delightfully played by Lucy Davis, is basically comic relief, and Sameer, Charlie, and the Chief (Saïd Taghmaoui, Ewan Bremner, and Eugene Brave Rock) are stock characters with the emphasis on character.
I found the guest appearances in Spider-Man: Homecoming by Robert Downey Jr, Marisa Tomei, Jon Favreau, and Gwyneth Paltrow distracting. (Chris Evans' cameos---Yep. Cameos plural---are a hoot.) It's the actors playing Peter's friends, classmates, and teachers who provide the fun and help create the real world Peter is part of and the world that doesn't need him to be real---that is, it's a world that exists apart from its being the background against which Peter's story is played. There's a pretty funny high school sitcom going on off screen that we get to see occasional and tantalizing snippets from, which has an excellent cast, several of whose characters are also major players in the movie's storyline. I'll save my praises for them for my formal review, but for now...everything you've heard about Zendaya stealing the scenes she's in? It's true.
The point here is that the supporting characters aren't defined by their relationships to Peter's story. His character is defined by his interactions with them and Tom Holland's performance is enhanced by his castmates'.
As for the villains, Wonder Woman's General Ludendorff and Dr Poison are fun as homages to Captain America: The First Avenger's the Red Skull and his pet mad scientist Dr Zola but not compelling as characters on their own. And Ares is interesting as a villain in both his guises because of the way he's played. In Spider-Man: Homecoming, the Vulture is interesting because of the way Micheal Keaton plays him and because he's played by Michael Keaton, but the character isn't dependent on Michael Keaton to make him a character.
It's hard for me to say which is the better movie. Wonder Woman is the cleaner piece of storytelling, but there's more of dramatic an comedic interest at work in Spider-Man: Homecoming. Right now I'm favoring Spider-Man, but it's a good bet that that's a simple case of Recency bias. I won't know, though, until I've seen Wonder Woman again. Of course Recency bias might affect my judgment then too. I'll report back when the time comes.

Moreover, the use of horses in logging increases human employment. One person operating a skidder may replace three teamsters. We are taught to see that as an advantage, and it is, but only to the company that makes skidders, and to the suppliers of fuel. The advantages of horse logging, much to the contrary, accrue to the forest and the human community. The Amish horseman we talked with earn a good living, working as "independent contractors." in a time obsessed with "job creation," perhaps we need to argue about the worth of three people in effect self-employed as opposed to one employee driving somebody else's machine.
--- from "A Forest Conversation" in Our Only World: Ten Essays by Wendell Berry.
Mined from the notebooks, June 24, 2017. Posted Saturday morning, July 8.
So. Other day. Grocery store parking lot. I'm looking for a space. There's a bank of handicapped slots near the front doors. I have my choice, so it's really no skin off my nose that someone's parked almost crosswise in one of the spots. Angled in like one of those jerks who feel entitled to take two spaces so no one can park next to him and maybe ding his doors when they open theirs. This irks me and makes me suspect the driver of being a jerk in another way, too, parking in a handicapped spot he doesn't have the permit to use. So, when I've parked myself, I wander over to check to see if he has his handicapped tag hanging from his rearview mirror.
It's a Dodge Intrepid. Maroon. The color of blood. I'm surprised. Hardly an old man's car and if the trucker's cap on the shelf in the rear window is telling the truth, the owner must be at least eighty years old. Korea War Veteran, it says on the face of the cap. The cap is cloth but the other hats sharing the shelf with it are straw. There's a straw cowboy hat, a woman's straw sun hat, a straw bush hat, a straw pith helmet, and a Panama hat.
The trucker's cap increased the odds there'd be a handicap tag, and sure enough... But it wasn't hanging from the mirror. It was lying on the dashboard. There wasn't room on the mirror's stem, wrapped as it was in multiple rosaries and strings of Mardi Gras beads.
The car was ornamented on the outside with chrome gee-gaws---Oliver Mannion doesn't believe gee-gaws is a word. But it is and it's the right word for the chrome footprint on the door to the gas tank, the chrome pirate-hatted skull and crossbones just over the front bumper, the twin silhouetted naked women of the kind usually seen on the mud flaps of tractor trailers, and the chrome nude with eyes of pink glass body surfing the airstream flowing over the hood.
In the store, I kept an eye out for the likely owner, watching for an octogenarian in some sort of straw hat. Maybe a boater. But no one looked old enough or struck me as eccentric enough. The only suspect was a trim, quick-paced man in a regular billcap with a closely cropped white beard who looked to be in his sixties, walking a young service dog in training through the produce section.
Posted Friday night, July 7, 2017.
From Some Rise By Sin, a novel by Philip Caputo. Father Timothy Riordan, a Franciscan priest, serving in Mexico, is having trouble writing the homily for the funeral mass for two young parishioners killed by gunfire:
He didn't believe his own words. There must be something else he could say, closer to the truth.
Two days earlier, a detachment of paratroopers attempted to quell a demonstration in the plaza...A gun went off---whose, no one knew for sure---and the soldiers opened fire...Angel and Hector had been standing up on the bandstand...when the bullets found them.
...If they'd been standing a few inches to one side or the other, they would have lived...Their deaths had resulted from the random convergence of the bullets' trajectories with their positions in the plaza. That was the truth, but to declare it would be to rob their families of all solace. It would be to tell them they lived in an absurd universe. Or in a universe ruled by a God as careless of human suffering as the stars...No sparrow falls that the Father does not see it. But it falls regardless, so what difference does it make if its fate is observed by the eye of heaven?

We had a fantastic time on our afternoon tour with Martin. He is so nice and easy going and I can't believe how much of the city we covered during our tour. We learned a lot about the history of the city and saw land marks you wouldn't know are there unless someone points them out and explains them to you. Aside from all the history and walking we also made several delicious stops along the way! We received great tips on places to eat, have a drink, or a lovely snack. He was well prepared with water, umbrellas and unending enthusiasm. It was a perfect afternoon. I can't recommend the tour enough. It made getting around Paris so much easier during the rest of our stay. Even if you have been to Paris many times, you will learn and see new things.
