Selectors¶
When you’re scraping web pages, the most common task you need to perform is to extract data from the HTML source. There are several libraries available to achieve this, such as:
- BeautifulSoup is a very popular web scraping library among Python programmers which constructs a Python object based on the structure of the HTML code and also deals with bad markup reasonably well, but it has one drawback: it’s slow.
- lxml is an XML parsing library (which also parses HTML) with a pythonic API based on ElementTree. (lxml is not part of the Python standard library.)
Scrapy comes with its own mechanism for extracting data. They’re called selectors because they “select” certain parts of the HTML document specified either by XPath or CSS expressions.
XPath is a language for selecting nodes in XML documents, which can also be used with HTML. CSS is a language for applying styles to HTML documents. It defines selectors to associate those styles with specific HTML elements.
Note
Scrapy Selectors is a thin wrapper around parsel library; the purpose of this wrapper is to provide better integration with Scrapy Response objects.
parsel is a stand-alone web scraping library which can be used without Scrapy. It uses lxml library under the hood, and implements an easy API on top of lxml API. It means Scrapy selectors are very similar in speed and parsing accuracy to lxml.
Using selectors¶
Constructing selectors¶
Response objects expose a Selector
instance
on .selector
attribute:
>>> response.selector.xpath('//span/text()').get()
'good'
Querying responses using XPath and CSS is so common that responses include two
more shortcuts: response.xpath()
and response.css()
:
>>> response.xpath('//span/text()').get()
'good'
>>> response.css('span::text').get()
'good'
Scrapy selectors are instances of Selector
class
constructed by passing either TextResponse
object or
markup as an unicode string (in text
argument).
Usually there is no need to construct Scrapy selectors manually:
response
object is available in Spider callbacks, so in most cases
it is more convenient to use response.css()
and response.xpath()
shortcuts. By using response.selector
or one of these shortcuts
you can also ensure the response body is parsed only once.
But if required, it is possible to use Selector
directly.
Constructing from text:
>>> from scrapy.selector import Selector
>>> body = 'good'
>>> Selector(text=body).xpath('//span/text()').get()
'good'
Constructing from response - HtmlResponse
is one of
TextResponse
subclasses:
>>> from scrapy.selector import Selector
>>> from scrapy.http import HtmlResponse
>>> response = HtmlResponse(url='http://example.com', body=body)
>>> Selector(response=response).xpath('//span/text()').get()
'good'
Selector
automatically chooses the best parsing rules
(XML vs HTML) based on input type.
Using selectors¶
To explain how to use the selectors we’ll use the Scrapy shell (which provides interactive testing) and an example page located in the Scrapy documentation server:
For the sake of completeness, here’s its full HTML code:

<base href='http://example.com/' />
<title>Example website</title>

Name: My image 1

Name: My image 2

Name: My image 3

Name: My image 4

Name: My image 5

First, let’s open the shell:
scrapy shell https://doc.scrapy.org/en/latest/_static/selectors-sample1.html
Then, after the shell loads, you’ll have the response available as response
shell variable, and its attached selector in response.selector
attribute.
Since we’re dealing with HTML, the selector will automatically use an HTML parser.
So, by looking at the HTML code of that page, let’s construct an XPath for selecting the text inside the title tag:
>>> response.xpath('//title/text()')
[<Selector xpath='//title/text()' data='Example website'>]
To actually extract the textual data, you must call the selector .get()
or .getall()
methods, as follows:
>>> response.xpath('//title/text()').getall()
['Example website']
>>> response.xpath('//title/text()').get()
'Example website'
.get()
always returns a single result; if there are several matches,
content of a first match is returned; if there are no matches, None
is returned. .getall()
returns a list with all results.
Notice that CSS selectors can select text or attribute nodes using CSS3 pseudo-elements:
>>> response.css('title::text').get()
'Example website'
As you can see, .xpath()
and .css()
methods return a
SelectorList
instance, which is a list of new
selectors. This API can be used for quickly selecting nested data:
>>> response.css('img').xpath('@src').getall()
['image1_thumb.jpg',
'image2_thumb.jpg',
'image3_thumb.jpg',
'image4_thumb.jpg',
'image5_thumb.jpg']
If you want to extract only the first matched element, you can call the
selector .get()
(or its alias .extract_first()
commonly used in
previous Scrapy versions):
>>> response.xpath('//div[@id="images"]/a/text()').get()
'Name: My image 1 '
It returns None
if no element was found:
>>> response.xpath('//div[@id="not-exists"]/text()').get() is None
True
A default return value can be provided as an argument, to be used instead
of None
:
>>> response.xpath('//div[@id="not-exists"]/text()').get(default='not-found')
'not-found'
Instead of using e.g. '@src'
XPath it is possible to query for attributes
using .attrib
property of a Selector
:
>>> [img.attrib['src'] for img in response.css('img')]
['image1_thumb.jpg',
'image2_thumb.jpg',
'image3_thumb.jpg',
'image4_thumb.jpg',
'image5_thumb.jpg']
As a shortcut, .attrib
is also available on SelectorList directly;
it returns attributes for the first matching element:
>>> response.css('img').attrib['src']
'image1_thumb.jpg'
This is most useful when only a single result is expected, e.g. when selecting by id, or selecting unique elements on a web page:
>>> response.css('base').attrib['href']
'http://example.com/'
Now we’re going to get the base URL and some image links:
>>> response.xpath('//base/@href').get()
'http://example.com/'
>>> response.css('base::attr(href)').get()
'http://example.com/'
>>> response.css('base').attrib['href']
'http://example.com/'
>>> response.xpath('//a[contains(@href, "image")]/@href').getall()
['image1.html',
'image2.html',
'image3.html',
'image4.html',
'image5.html']
>>> response.css('a[href*=image]::attr(href)').getall()
['image1.html',
'image2.html',
'image3.html',
'image4.html',
'image5.html']
>>> response.xpath('//a[contains(@href, "image")]/img/@src').getall()
['image1_thumb.jpg',
'image2_thumb.jpg',
'image3_thumb.jpg',
'image4_thumb.jpg',
'image5_thumb.jpg']
>>> response.css('a[href*=image] img::attr(src)').getall()
['image1_thumb.jpg',
'image2_thumb.jpg',
'image3_thumb.jpg',
'image4_thumb.jpg',
'image5_thumb.jpg']
Extensions to CSS Selectors¶
Per W3C standards, CSS selectors do not support selecting text nodes or attribute values. But selecting these is so essential in a web scraping context that Scrapy (parsel) implements a couple of non-standard pseudo-elements:
- to select text nodes, use
::text
- to select attribute values, use
::attr(name)
where name is the name of the attribute that you want the value of
Warning
These pseudo-elements are Scrapy-/Parsel-specific. They will most probably not work with other libraries like lxml or PyQuery.
Examples:
title::text
selects children text nodes of a descendant<title>
element:>>> response.css('title::text').get() 'Example website'
*::text
selects all descendant text nodes of the current selector context:>>> response.css('#images *::text').getall() ['\n ', 'Name: My image 1 ', '\n ', 'Name: My image 2 ', '\n ', 'Name: My image 3 ', '\n ', 'Name: My image 4 ', '\n ', 'Name: My image 5 ', '\n ']
foo::text
returns no results iffoo
element exists, but contains no text (i.e. text is empty):>>> response.css('img::text').getall() []
This means
.css('foo::text').get()
could return None even if an element exists. Usedefault=''
if you always want a string:>>> response.css('img::text').get() >>> response.css('img::text').get(default='') ''
a::attr(href)
selects the href attribute value of descendant links:>>> response.css('a::attr(href)').getall() ['image1.html', 'image2.html', 'image3.html', 'image4.html', 'image5.html']
Note
See also: Selecting element attributes.
Note
You cannot chain these pseudo-elements. But in practice it would not make much sense: text nodes do not have attributes, and attribute values are string values already and do not have children nodes.
Nesting selectors¶
The selection methods (.xpath()
or .css()
) return a list of selectors
of the same type, so you can call the selection methods for those selectors
too. Here’s an example:
>>> links = response.xpath('//a[contains(@href, "image")]')
>>> links.getall()
['Name: My image 1
',
'Name: My image 2
',
'Name: My image 3
',
'Name: My image 4
',
'Name: My image 5
']
>>> for index, link in enumerate(links):
... args = (index, link.xpath('@href').get(), link.xpath('img/@src').get())
... print('Link number %d points to url %r and image %r' % args)
Link number 0 points to url 'image1.html' and image 'image1_thumb.jpg'
Link number 1 points to url 'image2.html' and image 'image2_thumb.jpg'
Link number 2 points to url 'image3.html' and image 'image3_thumb.jpg'
Link number 3 points to url 'image4.html' and image 'image4_thumb.jpg'
Link number 4 points to url 'image5.html' and image 'image5_thumb.jpg'
Selecting element attributes¶
There are several ways to get a value of an attribute. First, one can use XPath syntax:
>>> response.xpath("//a/@href").getall()
['image1.html', 'image2.html', 'image3.html', 'image4.html', 'image5.html']
XPath syntax has a few advantages: it is a standard XPath feature, and
@attributes
can be used in other parts of an XPath expression - e.g.
it is possible to filter by attribute value.
Scrapy also provides an extension to CSS selectors (::attr(...)
)
which allows to get attribute values:
>>> response.css('a::attr(href)').getall()
['image1.html', 'image2.html', 'image3.html', 'image4.html', 'image5.html']
In addition to that, there is a .attrib
property of Selector.
You can use it if you prefer to lookup attributes in Python
code, without using XPaths or CSS extensions:
>>> [a.attrib['href'] for a in response.css('a')]
['image1.html', 'image2.html', 'image3.html', 'image4.html', 'image5.html']
This property is also available on SelectorList; it returns a dictionary with attributes of a first matching element. It is convenient to use when a selector is expected to give a single result (e.g. when selecting by element ID, or when selecting an unique element on a page):
>>> response.css('base').attrib
{'href': 'http://example.com/'}
>>> response.css('base').attrib['href']
'http://example.com/'
.attrib
property of an empty SelectorList is empty:
>>> response.css('foo').attrib
{}
Using selectors with regular expressions¶
Selector
also has a .re()
method for extracting
data using regular expressions. However, unlike using .xpath()
or
.css()
methods, .re()
returns a list of unicode strings. So you
can’t construct nested .re()
calls.
Here’s an example used to extract image names from the HTML code above:
>>> response.xpath('//a[contains(@href, "image")]/text()').re(r'Name:\s*(.*)')
['My image 1',
'My image 2',
'My image 3',
'My image 4',
'My image 5']
There’s an additional helper reciprocating .get()
(and its
alias .extract_first()
) for .re()
, named .re_first()
.
Use it to extract just the first matching string:
>>> response.xpath('//a[contains(@href, "image")]/text()').re_first(r'Name:\s*(.*)')
'My image 1'
extract() and extract_first()¶
If you’re a long-time Scrapy user, you’re probably familiar
with .extract()
and .extract_first()
selector methods. Many blog posts
and tutorials are using them as well. These methods are still supported
by Scrapy, there are no plans to deprecate them.
However, Scrapy usage docs are now written using .get()
and
.getall()
methods. We feel that these new methods result in a more concise
and readable code.
The following examples show how these methods map to each other.
SelectorList.get()
is the same asSelectorList.extract_first()
:>>> response.css('a::attr(href)').get() 'image1.html' >>> response.css('a::attr(href)').extract_first() 'image1.html'
SelectorList.getall()
is the same asSelectorList.extract()
:>>> response.css('a::attr(href)').getall() ['image1.html', 'image2.html', 'image3.html', 'image4.html', 'image5.html'] >>> response.css('a::attr(href)').extract() ['image1.html', 'image2.html', 'image3.html', 'image4.html', 'image5.html']
Selector.get()
is the same asSelector.extract()
:>>> response.css('a::attr(href)')[0].get() 'image1.html' >>> response.css('a::attr(href)')[0].extract() 'image1.html'
For consistency, there is also
Selector.getall()
, which returns a list:>>> response.css('a::attr(href)')[0].getall() ['image1.html']
So, the main difference is that output of .get()
and .getall()
methods
is more predictable: .get()
always returns a single result, .getall()
always returns a list of all extracted results. With .extract()
method
it was not always obvious if a result is a list or not; to get a single
result either .extract()
or .extract_first()
should be called.
Working with XPaths¶
Here are some tips which may help you to use XPath with Scrapy selectors effectively. If you are not much familiar with XPath yet, you may want to take a look first at this XPath tutorial.
Note
Some of the tips are based on this post from ScrapingHub’s blog.
Working with relative XPaths¶
Keep in mind that if you are nesting selectors and use an XPath that starts
with /
, that XPath will be absolute to the document and not relative to the
Selector
you’re calling it from.
For example, suppose you want to extract all

elements inside

elements. First, you would get all

elements:
>>> divs = response.xpath('//div')
At first, you may be tempted to use the following approach, which is wrong, as
it actually extracts all

elements from the document, not only those
inside

elements:
>>> for p in divs.xpath('//p'): # this is wrong - gets all
 from the whole document
... print(p.get())
This is the proper way to do it (note the dot prefixing the .//p
XPath):
>>> for p in divs.xpath('.//p'): # extracts all
 inside
... print(p.get())
Another common case would be to extract all direct

children:
>>> for p in divs.xpath('p'):
... print(p.get())
For more details about relative XPaths see the Location Paths section in the XPath specification.
When querying by class, consider using CSS¶
Because an element can contain multiple CSS classes, the XPath way to select elements by class is the rather verbose:
*[contains(concat(' ', normalize-space(@class), ' '), ' someclass ')]
If you use @class='someclass'
you may end up missing elements that have
other classes, and if you just use contains(@class, 'someclass')
to make up
for that you may end up with more elements that you want, if they have a different
class name that shares the string someclass
.
As it turns out, Scrapy selectors allow you to chain selectors, so most of the time you can just select by class using CSS and then switch to XPath when needed:
>>> from scrapy import Selector
>>> sel = Selector(text='
<time datetime="2014-07-23 19:00">Special date</time>
')
>>> sel.css('.shout').xpath('./time/@datetime').getall()
['2014-07-23 19:00']
This is cleaner than using the verbose XPath trick shown above. Just remember
to use the .
in the XPath expressions that will follow.
Beware of the difference between //node[1] and (//node)[1]¶
//node[1]
selects all the nodes occurring first under their respective parents.
(//node)[1]
selects all the nodes in the document, and then gets only the first of them.
Example:
>>> from scrapy import Selector
>>> sel = Selector(text="""
....:

....:
1

....:
2

....:
3

....:

....:

....:
4

....:
5

....:
6

....:
""")
>>> xp = lambda x: sel.xpath(x).getall()
This gets all first

elements under whatever it is its parent:
>>> xp("//li[1]")
['
1
', '
4
']
And this gets the first

element in the whole document:
>>> xp("(//li)[1]")
['
1
']
This gets all first

elements under an

parent:
>>> xp("//ul/li[1]")
['
1
', '
4
']
And this gets the first

element under an

parent in the whole document:
>>> xp("(//ul/li)[1]")
['
1
']
Using text nodes in a condition¶
When you need to use the text content as argument to an XPath string function,
avoid using .//text()
and use just .
instead.
This is because the expression .//text()
yields a collection of text elements – a node-set.
And when a node-set is converted to a string, which happens when it is passed as argument to
a string function like contains()
or starts-with()
, it results in the text for the first element only.
Example:
>>> from scrapy import Selector
>>> sel = Selector(text='Click here to go to the Next Page')
Converting a node-set to string:
>>> sel.xpath('//a//text()').getall() # take a peek at the node-set
['Click here to go to the ', 'Next Page']
>>> sel.xpath("string(//a[1]//text())").getall() # convert it to string
['Click here to go to the ']
A node converted to a string, however, puts together the text of itself plus of all its descendants:
>>> sel.xpath("//a[1]").getall() # select the first node
['Click here to go to the Next Page']
>>> sel.xpath("string(//a[1])").getall() # convert it to string
['Click here to go to the Next Page']
So, using the .//text()
node-set won’t select anything in this case:
>>> sel.xpath("//a[contains(.//text(), 'Next Page')]").getall()
[]
But using the .
to mean the node, works:
>>> sel.xpath("//a[contains(., 'Next Page')]").getall()
['Click here to go to the Next Page']
Variables in XPath expressions¶
XPath allows you to reference variables in your XPath expressions, using
the $somevariable
syntax. This is somewhat similar to parameterized
queries or prepared statements in the SQL world where you replace
some arguments in your queries with placeholders like ?
,
which are then substituted with values passed with the query.
Here’s an example to match an element based on its “id” attribute value, without hard-coding it (that was shown previously):
>>> # `$val` used in the expression, a `val` argument needs to be passed
>>> response.xpath('//div[@id=$val]/a/text()', val='images').get()
'Name: My image 1 '
Here’s another example, to find the “id” attribute of a

tag containing
five
children (here we pass the value 5
as an integer):
>>> response.xpath('//div[count(a)=$cnt]/@id', cnt=5).get()
'images'
All variable references must have a binding value when calling .xpath()
(otherwise you’ll get a ValueError: XPath error:
exception).
This is done by passing as many named arguments as necessary.
parsel, the library powering Scrapy selectors, has more details and examples on XPath variables.
Removing namespaces¶
When dealing with scraping projects, it is often quite convenient to get rid of
namespaces altogether and just work with element names, to write more
simple/convenient XPaths. You can use the
Selector.remove_namespaces()
method for that.
Let’s show an example that illustrates this with the Python Insider blog atom feed.
First, we open the shell with the url we want to scrape:
$ scrapy shell https://feeds.feedburner.com/PythonInsider
This is how the file starts:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?xml-stylesheet ...
<feed xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom"
xmlns:openSearch="http://a9.com/-/spec/opensearchrss/1.0/"
xmlns:blogger="http://schemas.google.com/blogger/2008"
xmlns:georss="http://www.georss.org/georss"
xmlns:gd="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005"
xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0"
xmlns:feedburner="http://rssnamespace.org/feedburner/ext/1.0">
...
You can see several namespace declarations including a default “http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom” and another one using the “gd:” prefix for “http://schemas.google.com/g/2005”.
Once in the shell we can try selecting all <link>
objects and see that it
doesn’t work (because the Atom XML namespace is obfuscating those nodes):
>>> response.xpath("//link")
[]
But once we call the Selector.remove_namespaces()
method, all
nodes can be accessed directly by their names:
>>> response.selector.remove_namespaces()
>>> response.xpath("//link")
[<Selector xpath='//link' data='<link rel="alternate" type="text/html" h'>,
<Selector xpath='//link' data='<link rel="next" type="application/atom+'>,
...
If you wonder why the namespace removal procedure isn’t always called by default instead of having to call it manually, this is because of two reasons, which, in order of relevance, are:
- Removing namespaces requires to iterate and modify all nodes in the document, which is a reasonably expensive operation to perform by default for all documents crawled by Scrapy
- There could be some cases where using namespaces is actually required, in case some element names clash between namespaces. These cases are very rare though.
Using EXSLT extensions¶
Being built atop lxml, Scrapy selectors support some EXSLT extensions and come with these pre-registered namespaces to use in XPath expressions:
| prefix | namespace | usage |
|---|---|---|
| re | http://exslt.org/regular-expressions | regular expressions |
| set | http://exslt.org/sets | set manipulation |
Regular expressions¶
The test()
function, for example, can prove quite useful when XPath’s
starts-with()
or contains()
are not sufficient.
Example selecting links in list item with a “class” attribute ending with a digit:
>>> from scrapy import Selector
>>> doc = u"""
...

...

...
first item

...
second item

...
third item

...
fourth item

...
fifth item

...

...

... """
>>> sel = Selector(text=doc, type="html")
>>> sel.xpath('//li//@href').getall()
['link1.html', 'link2.html', 'link3.html', 'link4.html', 'link5.html']
>>> sel.xpath('//li[re:test(@class, "item-\d$")]//@href').getall()
['link1.html', 'link2.html', 'link4.html', 'link5.html']
>>>
Warning
C library libxslt
doesn’t natively support EXSLT regular
expressions so lxml’s implementation uses hooks to Python’s re
module.
Thus, using regexp functions in your XPath expressions may add a small
performance penalty.
Set operations¶
These can be handy for excluding parts of a document tree before extracting text elements for example.
Example extracting microdata (sample content taken from http://schema.org/Product) with groups of itemscopes and corresponding itemprops:
>>> doc = u"""
...

... Kenmore White 17" Microwave
...
...

... Rated 3.5/5
... based on 11 customer reviews
...

...
...

... $55.00
... <link itemprop="availability" href="http://schema.org/InStock" />In stock
...

...
... Product description:
... 0.7 cubic feet countertop microwave.
... Has six preset cooking categories and convenience features like
... Add-A-Minute and Child Lock.
...
...  It is small and
... fits in my apartment.
...

... ...
...

... """
>>> sel = Selector(text=doc, type="html")
>>> for scope in sel.xpath('//div[@itemscope]'):
... print("current scope:", scope.xpath('@itemtype').getall())
... props = scope.xpath('''
... set:difference(./descendant::*/@itemprop,
... .//*[@itemscope]/*/@itemprop)''')
... print(" properties: %s" % (props.getall()))
... print("")
current scope: ['http://schema.org/Product']
properties: ['name', 'aggregateRating', 'offers', 'description', 'review', 'review']
current scope: ['http://schema.org/AggregateRating']
properties: ['ratingValue', 'reviewCount']
current scope: ['http://schema.org/Offer']
properties: ['price', 'availability']
current scope: ['http://schema.org/Review']
properties: ['name', 'author', 'datePublished', 'reviewRating', 'description']
current scope: ['http://schema.org/Rating']
properties: ['worstRating', 'ratingValue', 'bestRating']
current scope: ['http://schema.org/Review']
properties: ['name', 'author', 'datePublished', 'reviewRating', 'description']
current scope: ['http://schema.org/Rating']
properties: ['worstRating', 'ratingValue', 'bestRating']
>>>
Here we first iterate over itemscope
elements, and for each one,
we look for all itemprops
elements and exclude those that are themselves
inside another itemscope
.
Other XPath extensions¶
Scrapy selectors also provide a sorely missed XPath extension function
has-class
that returns True
for nodes that have all of the specified
HTML classes.
For the following HTML:

First

Second

Third

Fourth

You can use it like this:
>>> response.xpath('//p[has-class("foo")]')
[<Selector xpath='//p[has-class("foo")]' data='
First
'>,
<Selector xpath='//p[has-class("foo")]' data='
Second
'>]
>>> response.xpath('//p[has-class("foo", "bar-baz")]')
[<Selector xpath='//p[has-class("foo", "bar-baz")]' data='
First
'>]
>>> response.xpath('//p[has-class("foo", "bar")]')
[]
So XPath //p[has-class("foo", "bar-baz")]
is roughly equivalent to CSS
p.foo.bar-baz
. Please note, that it is slower in most of the cases,
because it’s a pure-Python function that’s invoked for every node in question
whereas the CSS lookup is translated into XPath and thus runs more efficiently,
so performance-wise its uses are limited to situations that are not easily
described with CSS selectors.
Parsel also simplifies adding your own XPath extensions.
Examples¶
Selector examples on HTML response¶
Here are some Selector
examples to illustrate several concepts.
In all cases, we assume there is already a Selector
instantiated with
a HtmlResponse
object like this:
sel = Selector(html_response)
Select all

elements from an HTML response body, returning a list ofSelector
objects (ie. aSelectorList
object):sel.xpath("//h1")
Extract the text of all

elements from an HTML response body, returning a list of unicode strings:sel.xpath("//h1").getall() # this includes the h1 tag sel.xpath("//h1/text()").getall() # this excludes the h1 tag
Iterate over all

tags and print their class attribute:for node in sel.xpath("//p"): print(node.attrib['class'])
Selector examples on XML response¶
Here are some examples to illustrate concepts for Selector
objects
instantiated with an XmlResponse
object:
sel = Selector(xml_response)
Select all
<product>
elements from an XML response body, returning a list ofSelector
objects (ie. aSelectorList
object):sel.xpath("//product")

Scorsese's Cape Fear:
The Triumph of Stereotypes
by Katie Reese
The 1962 version of Cape
Fear depicts a battle between good and evil where a virtuous
lawyer must abandon the positive law for the natural law in saving
his family from the menacing figure of unjustified revenge.
Alongside substantial legal critique of a lack of protection
for victims, the 1962 film reveals patriarchal discourse on gender
relations and the nuclear family. In 1991, Martin Scorsese remade
Cape Fear. His is not merely a revisiting or homage to
the first film but is an attempt at an actual reconstruction,
or what Michael Arnzen describes as metanarrative . Arnzen
explains 'metanarrative' in terms of postmodern deconstruction
and plurality. The postmodern effect of a metanarrative is to
take the meanings of a known story and to invert them into entirely
new meanings, subverting the original message. Scorsese attempts
to implode the message of stereotyping in the first film but
his efforts are rendered ineffectual because he merely replaces
this same message with a modernized version of the same stereotypes
of patriarch, family women, mistresses, and prison inmates that
inhabited the first film.
The family dynamic
is no longer the harmonious "Leave it to Beaver" family
of the first Bowdens, but now includes the displaced teen with
budding sexuality and the dysfunctional communication that one
expects in the late Eighties and early Nineties. Similarly, our
notions of the terrifying menace vary with our understanding
of social stereotypes. In the 1962 version, we know that Max
Cady is the villain from our initial introduction to him at the
courthouse. When he passes by a woman who drops her book, Cady
deliberately does not pick it up for her. Later in the film in
a meeting with Sam, he orders twelve-year-old scotch twice, a
very ungentlemanly way of ordering. In both instances, breaking
normative codes of masculine etiquette tells the viewer that
he is a menace. For a modern viewer, the stereotypes of the 1962
film are laughable but the question must be posed if the second
film has done anything to overcome those stereotypes.
Scorsese's Cady, although updated in stereotyping, does nothing
to challenge stereotypes of the psychological villain or of prison
culture of the early Nineties. Even Cady's underwear involves
a stereotype. When taken in for questioning and intimidation,
police strip search Cady, revealing slinky, red, animal patterned
underwear indicative of the nature of a sexual predator. Similarly,
Cady's prison posters depict Stalin and Christian iconography
of vengeance, and his books consist of revolutionary philosophy
and the Bible. The imagery here plays on the viewer's ability
to recognize these sorts of academic symbols and reveals Scorsese's
attempt to create an elevated villain of psychological complexity.
The Christian vengeance becomes an important part of his plot
against Sam and is reiterated by the tattoos covering his arms
and back, but these are merely indicative of a terrifying stereotype
of religious zealots of the South combined with the tattooed
nature of prison culture and assumptions about hardened inmates.
Richard Sherwin contends that Scorsese's film is much more complicated
and revealing than Thomson's as Scorsese emphasizes the similarities
between Sam and Cady in their aggression toward women and in
their ability to kill. Although this attempt to the blur the
lines of hero and villain is clearly made, Scorsese ultimately
reinforces Sam as the legitimate patriarch just as Thomson did
for Gregory Peck thirty years earlier. Despite some complication
with moral ambiguity in the legal profession and reference to
Sam's infidelities, Sam clearly does the "right" thing
throughout the film. In fact, these changes and fall from grace
have more to do with stereotypical depictions of the time and
what we expect to see on screen in lawyers and in family dynamics
of the early Nineties than with imploding our conception of Sam
as hero. The second scene of the movie after Dani's prologue
presents Sam with a lawyer client at the courthouse. An interchange
between them reveals that Sam manipulated the law for his friend's
interests, but the manipulation actually does justice. In the
middle of a divorce settlement, the son-in-law hid assets to
avoid fairness and the extension that Sam obtained for the law
partner's daughter allows them to privately investigate to protect
those assets and to protect the natural law in equal distribution
of divorce assets. Similarly, there is minor moral discomfort
when Sam reveals to his partner how he buried the promiscuity
report, but, while there is this professional ambiguity, Sam
redeems himself by leaving the public defender's office to take
up civil practice, thereby repenting of any wrong done in not
being true to his profession.
Also, while there are allusions to the fact that Sam makes major
mistakes and is not the pure hero that Gregory Peck was, this
is neither emphasized nor directly shown on screen, and the implication
is that Sam is actually a good guy and hero. His infidelities
never occur on screen. There is the flirtation with Lori but
he tells her at the car that he cannot continue to flirt with
her, reemphasizing his role as husband and father. She appears
at the bar upset that he has stood her up while, unbeknownst
to her but beknownst to the viewer, he works on protecting his
family. There is relief in knowing that he is more committed
to his family than he is to the "other woman."
Similarly, after establishing that only he can win against Cady,
Scorsese does not allow the viewer to blame Sam for Cady's death.
Sam fights Cady to the death in a somewhat primordial battle
of masculinity but then the viewer is not even given the opportunity
to condemn him for smashing Cady's head with the rock because
natural forces do it for him and Sam remains morally blameless.
Mitchum's death is certainly more satisfying than Gregory Peck's
Sam sending Cady to prison but the idea is the same; neither
director can bring himself to truly stain Sam's hands. Essentially,
Sam retains the role of patriarch, the unblemished hero. In the
end, Sam defends his family at all costs and wins. Danielle
has a moment of mental and physical acuity to douse Cady in lighter
fluid and Leigh almost succeeds in her cunning play at getting
Cady to empathize with her but Sam is the protector of his family,
the successful patriarch and, ultimately, he must protect the
family for this to be a legitimate victory.
Just as the attempt to complicate Sam holds little weight, so
does the attempt to make Cady more sympathetic to the viewer.
He cannot be a true avenger with whom the audience identifies
because his is the 'straw man' reaction, a reaction not to injustice
but to deserved punishment. Scorsese could have presented a
different legal twist like an identification or actual consensual
problem but he did not because that could create empathy in the
viewer for Cady. Perhaps the most terrifying scene in the film
and the closest that Scorsese gets to humanizing Cady is when
Cady lures Danielle into the school theatre. The imminent physical
threat to her makes the viewer squirm in terror and then when
we realize that he will not harm her, the mental manipulation
and connection that he makes with her is a powerful menace, and
is both more tantalizing and terrifying than the initial physical
threat. However, as Francis Nevins has pointed out, Scorsese
drops this very successful manipulation of the character and
the audience when Cady becomes an invincible horror cliché,
riding under the car and later refusing to die. His charming
discourse on life and emotion is not, as Sherwin suggests, wisdom
nor truth learned from suffering. Rather, the viewer always knows
that his prophecy is that of Judas Iscariot, the ultimate blasphemer.
And whatever sympathy we glean from the knowledge that he would
have gotten off at trial for a crime that he was guilty of is
completely negated by the ridiculousness of what ensues in his
pursuit of the Bowdens and in his quest to make Sam "understand
loss." Scorsese does not present us with the disintegration
of the wholly other as the postmodern metanarrative requires,
but Cady is rather a hyped-up, stock horror character.
One of the most obvious stereotypes of the 1962 Cape Fear
is that of the image of the helpless, domestic woman. For example,
Sam thanks God for the fact that Peggy's innocence and fragility
has never been witness to the harshness of the male courtroom
and cross-examination. Scorsese had the opportunity to deconstruct
this image of the domesticity but he did not and his film instead
perpetuates female oppression. Leigh has a job but she does
not leave the home. Likewise, their luxurious home is certainly
not provided for from her salary but from that of the true breadwinner,
the patriarch. Leigh's femininity is also a character weakness.
Sam refers to her fragility when they argue about his past lovers.
She calls him arrogant for staying in the marriage for her sake
but there is an inclination to believe this assertion.
This is a conflict between men in which women have no place to
interfere in the conflict as more than objects. In both films,
they are not people but just weapons against Sam. This is even
more apparent in the 1991 film when Sam actually has a personal
relationship with Lori. Because he knows her, and even has a
romantic connection with her, Lori's rape is directly a message
and weapon against Sam. Thomson's Cady uses Diane Taylor as a
weapon too, but this is an indirect message without the same
kind of menace that comes from entering one's personal sphere
and from taking a woman that the audience knows and likes and
changing them into nothing more than an objectified threat to
our masculine hero.
Similarly, while the dysfunctional family unit replaces the utopian
1962 Bowdens, Scorsese upholds the nuclear family by reinforcing
the inviolability of women within the legitimate family. Just
like Diane Taylor, Lori can be raped and beaten because she is
the mistress, not the wife. Cady meets Leigh at the mailbox,
enters the house when she is home alone and has every opportunity
to violate her but does not. Similarly, Dani is most vulnerable
when she is with him in the theatre. When he does not harm or
even fully seduce her, the viewer remains terrified but ultimately
knows that he will never truly harm her. Her virginity and role
as daughter of Sam make her invincible against the threat of
violation.
The presentation of women as victims and domestic objects in
Scorsese's film does not even attract the legal criticism that
the 1962 film extends. The legal premise that the promiscuity
report was admissible is nonsensical as rape-shield laws have
been common in the United States since the mid-Seventies. Similarly,
acquittal could not have been certain had there been a simple
medical analysis of her injuries providing circumstantial evidence
of a lack of consent. Contrastingly, the 1962 film actually engages
in criticism of real laws prejudicing women. When Cady explains
to Peggy that coercion of her sexual consent through a bargain
not to harm Peggy would be considered legitimate consent, he
is legally correct for that time period. Similarly, Diane Taylor
fears that her name will be published for her family to read
and that a small sentence and lack of enforcement of restraining
orders will leave her with an increased risk of retaliation.
The film criticizes the system's reluctance or inability to
protect victims. Some of these elements appear in the 1991 version,
but, without any basis in actual law, they lack poignancy and
voice for women. When we condemn Sam for burying the report,
we effectually, give credence to the notion that denying such
voice and protection for female victims is legitimate.
Scorsese's only real success at inversion is in his deliberate
casting of Gregory Peck as the buffoon prosecutorial lawyer and
Robert Mitchum as the police enforcer. Sherwin calls this "postmodern
hyperreality". Similarly, the opening sequences and uncertainty
in Dani's prologue paired with the negative inversion of light
in Leigh's bedroom create indeterminacy between reality and fantasy.
The entire aesthetic of the film has a postmodern flavor that
is compelling but fails to deconstruct enough to become a metanarrative
because of its inability to step out of stereotypes set by the
first Cape Fear. Stereotypes reinforce the moral framework
of gender and power relations, and the ultimate closure in the
film with the death of Cady and the cyclical return to Dani's
reminiscence affirm that all is well with the world. There is
no inversion here.

MURDER AT 1600 A film review by Scott Renshaw Copyright 1997 Scott Renshaw
(Warner Bros.) Starring: Wesley Snipes, Diane Lane, Alan Alda, Daniel Benzali, Ronny Cox, Dennis Miller. Screenplay: Wayne Beach and David Hodgin. Producer: Arnold Kopelson and Arnon Milchan. Director: Dwight Little.  Reviewed by Scott Renshaw.
When I first saw MURDER AT 1600 on the release schedule, I was hoping against hope that it was about a crime on board a low-flying aircraft. No such luck...MURDER AT 1600 is yet another in the long line of recent films (SHADOW CONSPIRACY, MY FELLOW AMERICANS, ABSOLUTE POWER) which have turned the White House into cinema's reigning repository of all things dark, sinister and/or lascivious. It's not that some of that building's residents haven't done a good job of that on their own, at least according to the juicier innuendo, but come on already. One Oliver Stone film a year is enough without every suspense hack to come down the pike throwing an army of sinister Secret Service agents and megalomaniacal policy wonks at some poor sucker every six to eight weeks.
In MURDER AT 1600, the poor sucker is Harlan Regis (Wesley Snipes) a Washington D.C. homicide detective assigned to the case when a young female White House staffer is found stabbed to death in a bathroom. It's instantly obvious that the White House security, led by Nick Spikings (Daniel Benzali), is covering something up, but it's not clear what, or whether Secret Service liaison Nina Chance (Diane Lane) is around to help Regis or hinder him. It would be telling to reveal the plot behind the murder, but naturally it's more complicated than we or Regis initially believe, and involves a more far-reaching conspiracy.
I've said before that I'm not a big believer in conspiracy theories, but that's not why I think most films about conspiracy theories are so mediocre at best. Screenwriters Wayne Beach and David Hodgin aren't interested in creating characters -- Regis and Chance each have one hobby, as though that defined a personality -- and it's fairly obvious why. The conspiracy _is_ the central character in films like this, with the actors merely running around to achieve dastardly ends or to thwart them. A film isn't "important" just because it shows people in power abusing that power, but the film-makers behave as though the seriousness of their subject matter should be enough to satisfy the audience. Worse still, they behave as though no one else had ever thought of the idea.
That leaves actors stranded in parts that are as lively as the miniature figurines Snipes' Detective Regis sets up in recreations of the Battle of Bull Run. Snipes is a likeable enough performer, but he is not doing himself any favors by adding this film to a string of lumbering action duds like DROP ZONE and MONEY TRAIN.  Daniel Benzali and Alan Alda have more to do with the heavy roles, but they're just as stranded; Dennis Miller's snarky sarcasm as Snipes' partner is more a comment on the quality of the film than anything going on in the film; TV pundit John McLaughlin looks delighted at the prospect of earning his SAG card for his 100th cameo appearance. MURDER AT 1600 is full of paycheck parts, and the cast doesn't dignify them with anything more than paycheck performances.
MURDER AT 1600 might have been at least a moderately diverting thriller if director Dwight Little (RAPID FIRE, MARKED FOR DEATH) had included a few...well, thrills. It's a startlingly suspenseless suspense thriller Little has cobbled together, with drawn-out chase scenes and shoot-outs which create a lot more noise than tension. By the time our heroes begin their invasion of the White House through the underground tunnel system -- which gets so much pedestrian traffic in these films that there ought to be a hot dog cart and a souvenir shop -- the audience probably won't care very much who is responsible for the film's central crime. If you've never seen one of these films before, you might get a buzz out of seeing the mighty brought low. Some of us have been on this particular White House tour too many times to find anything interesting about one more secret meeting in the Oval Office or one more clandestine rendezvous in the Lincoln Bedroom.

I can do it all.
I'm a diligent, multifaceted, Math and Computer Science student with a hunger for learning. As a creative problem solver, I take pride in my work. I'm a very strong programmer in HTML, PHP, and JavaScript, but I'm also familiar with Java, C/C++, and Python. Agile and collaborative environments are where I flourish because my smartest code is written when I can bounce ideas off of someone else.
I was born in Bend, Oregon and grew up with an appreciation for all things outdoors. As a kid, I wanted to be a lawyer, a chef, an interpreter, or a businesswoman. When I started studying at the University of Oregon, I was a Mathematics major with no idea what I actually wanted to do. I joined Rugby, took every elective I could, but at the end of my freshman year I took my first Computer Science course. I was hooked. I switched to a Math and Computer Science major before the next school year had started.
June 2017, I will graduate with a Bachelor's degree. I have taken courses in C/C++, Java, Python, HTML, and PHP. There has always been a focus on not just writing code, but writing smart, easy to read code. I've become well-versed in object oriented and functional programming as well as Database Architecture. My math background and many data structures courses have built my ability to create intelligent and informed database designs and sorting applications. Due to their mathematical nature, Data structures courses have always absorbed my attention. I have worked on countless group projects that showed me how to read and integrate others' code.
Over the last three years, I have participated in all of the University's hackathons in which I discovered that I'm an excellent project lead. I also joined the Web Dev club and was president of the Women in Computer Science (WiCS) club. And in that time I've discovered as much about myself as I have Computer Science. I'm not the fastest worker, but I'm always the hardest worker. I'm an efficient leader, who quadrupled participation as president of WiCS. When working on a hard project I do best collaborating in person with a colleague.
When not in class, I work part time at an IT help desk for the Architecture and Allied Arts school of the University of Oregon. I've learned a lot about the common issues with software on the user side as well as how to manage my time and keep myself busy even when it's slow. I have also waited tables every summer at the Sunriver Brewing Co. To work in such a fast paced environment, I had to be able to organize and prioritize requests, orders, and my thoughts in general. I had to take the initiative in order to work my way from hostess to server. I managed to maintain friendships with most of my coworkers, because I knew when to be assertive and when to back down. I have excelled at both jobs because I have great collaborative skills, I'm very well organized, and I'm great at leading by example.
I find great interest in a variety of areas. I am easily entertained and enjoy puzzles.
I have been thrown into many new fields and positions and always navigate may way through it.
From group projects to the rugby pitch, I have always excelled at working with my team.
A good leader can bring ideas together in an efficient and socratic manner, and I strive to do that every chance I get.

VCS is one major repository system ideal for teams of people that work together on a single file or set of files together. You can get information on what has changed from the previous version of a file, when it was changed, and you can even merge two separate changes to the same file. VCSs are in place so that many people can work on the same thing and if there are any changes, you can revert back if something isn’t right. They are important when working on things like websites, apps, or anything else technical that requires a lot of collaboration.
A repository is a place where things are stored. In the context of lesson 3 in this class, it is a storage place for multiple copies of a file. When people work on the same file together they will all make their own changes to it and all of the previous versions of the file are stored in a repository to come back to later if needed. There are two main repositories that we usually deal with: remote and local. Remote repositories are on a remote server that may be shared with many other team members working on the same file or set of files. Local repositories are on local computers for a single person. Users can save things to their own local repository and have it committed to the remote repository for everyone to see and work off of.
Git is a type of a VCS. It is free and open sourced. It allows anything that you would expect from any Version Control System. You can work in it locally and then upload to a remote server. It has the ability to prevent overwriting of a file shared on the repository. There are commands you can use in order to help use and organize your files with git. They are fairly simple to use and they all start with the keyword ‘git’. A few examples are ‘git init,’ ‘git add,’ and ‘git status’. There are three basic steps to consider when using git. They are Add, Commit, and Push. This is the process to follow when making any changes to files in your repository.

Lions' Stafford sits vs. Bears, ending 136-game streak
by EndPlayCHICAGO (AP) - Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford has been ruled out for their game at Chicago because of hip and back issues, stopping his streak of 136 consecutive starts.
The 31-year-old Stafford had been listed as questionable. It's the first time he has missed a regular-season game since the 2010 season.
Jeff Driskel is stepping in for Stafford. Driskel is making his sixth career start.
Stafford is working on another terrific year for Detroit, throwing for 2,499 yards and 19 touchdowns in the first half of the season.
The Bears (3-5) had been a 2½-point favorite over the Lions (3-4-1), but Chicago was favored by 6½ points Sunday morning after the Stafford news broke.

Firefox 3 — more better 2008/02/25
- Go to
about:config
. - Set browser.urlbar.matchOnlyTyped to true.
- Profit!
This will cause Firefox to almost revert its address-bar behavior to the familiar Firefox 2 style where it matches the beginning of URLs instead of attempting some hairbrained search. If I'd wanted to search, I would have hit Apple+K.

Awesome, this was one of my biggest complaints with FF3. Thanks!

Personally I like the new searching it does. Should be clarified that it's doing a search of your bookmarks/browsing history. Not searching the internet. It's been useful a few times now when I was trying to remember some page i was at a couple days ago. But on the other hand, hat's off to mozilla for realizing that some people wouldn't like it and make it fairly trivial to change it back, even if the "I'll be careful, I promise" warning can appear to be quite scarry to new people.
— Todd — 2008/06/20 1:03 pm
I don't understand why anyone would prefer the FF2 search.. the new search is incomparably better. Works perfectly too, I can instantly land on any previously visited site that I would have previously forgotten about or lost forever to the great maze of the interwebs.
— Daniel — 2008/06/20 10:34 pm
Daniel: Oil and water don't mix. The rampant history searching was getting in the way of my URL typing. Address bars are for addresses, search boxes are for searches. Autocomplete should not muddy the waters.

HEARTS IN ATLANTIS (2001) / ***
Directed by Scott Hicks. Screenplay by William Goldman, based on the novel by Stephen King. Starring Anthony Hopkins, Anton Yelchin, Mika Boorem. Running time: 100 minutes. Rated PG by the MFCB. Reviewed on September 24th, 2001.
 Bobby's world revolves around his friends, especially the spritely Carol (Boorem). Then one day, a new boarder arrives at Bobby's house. Ted Brautigan (Hopkins) is an enigmatic man to whom Bobby takes an immediate liking. As the bond between Bobby and Ted deepens, Bobby becomes privy to Ted's great secret, an event which will change both of their lives forever.
Review: A small but enchanting movie, "Hearts In Atlantis" easily recalls another King-inspired coming-of-age film, "Stand By Me", both in terms of its setting and the sentiment it conveys. "Hearts" is a tribute to the magic of childhood, to those summers when the days seem neverending, and nothing means more than your closest friends. Unlike "Stand By Me", there is a supernatural element to "Hearts", but although it is key to the plot, it is not prominent. Like "Stand By Me", this is a mostly character-driven film, and as such it benefits greatly from superb casting. Yelchin is very good as Bobby, finding a good mix of innocence and resignation. More splendid still is Boorem, whom I praised highly for her work in "Along Came A Spider" and who is simply radiant here as Carol. And then there is Hopkins, who despite playing such a quiet, introspective character as Ted, nonetheless commands our attention every time he is onscreen. Less successful is Davis, whose strident Elizabeth comes across as overly cartoonish. I also found it odd that Bobby and Carol's other friend, Sully (whose death as an adult sets up the movie's flashback framing device), is paid virtually no attention. But Hicks' direction is lovely without being cloying, and despite the movie's general lack of incident, it never ceases to weave its spell over the audience.

As of 18:00 on 12 May 2014, the Ministry of Health (MOH) of Guinea has reported a cumulative total of 248 clinical cases of Ebola virus disease (EVD), including 171 deaths. Since the last update of 9 May 2014, there have been five new cases confirmed by ebolavirus PCR and no new deaths among the confirmed cases.
Reclassification of cases, retrospective investigation, and harmonization of data have brought the total number of confirmed cases to 138, including 92 deaths; 67 probable cases, 57 deaths (3 new probable deaths in the community); and 43 suspected cases (22 deaths). The geographical distribution of clinical cases of EVD since the beginning of the outbreak is as follows: Conakry (50 cases, including 24 deaths), Guekedou (163/119), Macenta (22/17), Kissidougou (8/6), Dabola (4/4), and Djinguiraye (1/1).
The cumulative total of laboratory confirmed cases and deaths since the beginning of the outbreak is: Conakry (40 cases, including 20 deaths); Guekedou (83/60); Macenta (12/10); Kissidougou (2/1); and Dabola (1/1).
There have been no new cases of EVD in Kissidougou since 1 April, Macenta since 9 April, and Conakry since 26 April. In Djinguiraye and Dabola, no new cases have been reported since the end of March 2014. If no additional cases are identified in Conakry, the observation period for those individuals identified through contact tracing will end on 17 May.
In Guekedou, the date of isolation of the most recent cases is 11 May 2014. A total of 480 contacts (5 in Conakry, 475 in Guekedou) are under follow up.
The number of cases remains subject to change due to reclassification and consolidation of cases and laboratory data, enhanced surveillance activities, and contact tracing activities. Introduction of ebolavirus serology to test PCR negative clinical cases is also likely to change the final number of laboratory confirmed cases.
There have been no new alerts in both Liberia and Sierra Leone. Liberia is preparing to host a cross-border meeting with Côte d’Ivoire and Sierra Leone and surveillance activities have been enhanced in districts bordering Guinea.
WHO continues to support the Ministries of Health of Guinea and Liberia in their EVD prevention and control activities. As of 14 May, 118 experts have been deployed to assist in the response. This includes 56 experts deployed through the global WHO surge mechanism, 35 international experts from among partner institutions of the Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network (GOARN), 10 externally recruited consultants, and 17 WHO staff who were locally repurposed.
To date, 90 experts have been deployed to Guinea, 22 to Liberia, two to Sierra Leone, and four to the WHO Regional Office for Africa.
An additional, 7 deployments are planned in the disciplines of medical anthropology, clinical case management, surveillance and epidemiology, laboratory services, logistics, and risk and media communications.
WHO does not recommend that any travel or trade restrictions be applied to Guinea or Liberia based on the current information available for this event.
