Cancellation and the Art of Muppet Fan Journalism
by Joe Hennes | May 31, 2016 | Commentary, Feature
This article will not have a happy ending.
Muppet fans everywhere are feeling the burn after ABC's decision to cancel The Muppets. It was a great show (or, for those of you who didn't love it as much, it was at least a passable show) that was just starting to find its footing near the end. The ratings were decent, which is actually a huge success when you consider how ABC pretty much stopped promoting it altogether. And now, after an under-performing movie and a canceled TV show, the Muppets have nowhere to go and nothing on the horizon.
We are entering a potentially bleak time for the Muppets, as well as a bleak time for Muppet fans.
Here at ToughPigs HQ, we've been bending over backwards to do our part to help spread the word. We posted hundreds of promotional photos, we had timely reviews, and we went nuts on social media. We teamed up with our rivals, The Muppet Mindset, to get the #RenewTheMuppets hashtag moving. We did everything shy of storming Cinderella's castle to keep The Muppets from fading away, and it didn't work. "Frustrating" doesn't even begin to cover it.
What's even more difficult to cope with is the fact that this isn't the first time we've been dealt this sort of blow in recent years. Muppets Most Wanted was a phenomenal movie, filled with hilarious Muppet moments, great music, a respect for the classic stuff, and appeal for fans of all ages. But despite our efforts, which included a cross-country trip to Los Angeles to work at the red carpet premiere, nobody bothered to go back to the theater for another dose of Muppets. At several of our live Muppet Vault events, we've polled the audience to see who hasn't seen the film, and almost everyone's hands shoot up. Without the urgency of "the Muppets are back!", nobody made it a priority to see them on the big screen, despite having so much love for the franchise. There are all sorts of theories for why casual Muppet fans didn't see the film, but at least we can say we did our part to try and educate them.
Our frustration isn't just limited to the lack of viewership. One of the most persistent requests we've had (as well as the most frequent comment on almost all of our Facebook posts, no matter how unrelated the topic) is for seasons 4 and 5 of The Muppet Show on DVD. It's a slug in the stomach to Muppet fans that 2/5ths of the series is missing with no way to watch without resorting to illegitimate means. It's not like we're asking for something obscure (we've given up hope for ever getting a home video release of Little Muppet Monsters) – this is the most iconic performance of the entire franchise. It's the show that was constantly referenced in the two most recent films, and the biggest complaint about the recent TV series has been that it's not enough like its predecessor. All the while, we're talking about a show that isn't in syndication, three of its seasons are difficult to find (partly because DVD stores are difficult to find), and two of its seasons might as well be imaginary.
It's not even worth complaining about the lack of other DVD releases. The Muppets at Walt Disney World now contains all Disney-owned material, including a great promotion for their theme park and a full Indiana Jones sequence. The Julie Andrews special One Step Into Spring, which heavily featured the Muppets, was slated for release onto DVD three years ago, but the video release was canceled without explanation. There are dozens of other classic Muppet specials that would make fantastic video releases that could build an entertaining library for Disney, but instead are collecting dust.
What it all comes down to is this: I am tired, and I am done fighting.
Since Ryan and I took over ToughPigs from Danny Horn way back in 2007, we've been providing our honest thoughts on everything Muppet. We've been giving free promotion to just about everything that's come out of the Muppets Studio, Sesame Workshop, and The Jim Henson Company, and we do it without making any income. (In fact, running ToughPigs costs us money in hosting fees and general expenses. On an unrelated note, there's a PayPal link on our sidebar if you want to donate!)
Although we realize that many of the people reading this article have tuned in, gone to the theater, and purchased the products, we're only a small percentage of the whole. The reach of a niche fan site only goes so far, so when we spend so much time and energy on failed promotions, it makes me wonder if we've just been screaming at a brick wall for the past nine years.
Obviously, I realize that there's way more to this fan site game than promoting a TV show. We still generate fun articles, we get great feedback from our readers, and we're proud to be front and center when the Muppets are doing literally anything. But without the Muppets in the public eye, we're not growing our audience, our opinions aren't being heard, and the effort hardly matches the return. As you can imagine, it's become very difficult to muster much enthusiasm.
Now that I've been in the co-pilot's seat for almost a decade, I'm starting to realize the worst part of fandom. It's not being disappointed about a cancellation or a sub-par production, it's putting in the work, rallying the troops, and banking on a sliver of success before having it all ripped out beneath your feet. I'm sure a lot of the more vocal fans out there feel a good amount of this pain as well.
I have to admit, the day after hearing that The Muppets was being canceled, I seriously thought about quitting ToughPigs. Just for a few minutes, but the seed was there. Why keep writing if no one is reading?
Naturally, this isn't true. We still have the loyal readers who have stuck with us since before the show. The Muppets will come back for YouTube videos or a Christmas special or a Broadway show, and we'll be there front and center to get the scoop. And we're always discovering (or re-discovering) the old stuff and finding new ways to talk about it. Besides, I honestly don't know what I'd do with myself if I didn't get to write about the Muppets every day.
But the fighting? That part is over. I'm done begging Disney for seasons 4 and 5 of The Muppet Show on DVD. I won't be starting any campaigns asking Netflix to pick up The Muppets. I'm not signing your petition for the Muppets to [fill in the blank] – those petitions don't work, and it's not worth anyone's time.
But I will keep writing. I'll keep promoting. I'll do my part to keep the fan community united and involved. I won't slow down or quit, and I'll always be here to help bring a unique and honest voice to the output of the Muppets, Sesame Street, and the Henson Company. As a Muppet fan with a blog that at least a few people read, it's my responsibility to keep this train moving.
This article doesn't have a happy ending. But maybe that's because we're nowhere near an ending.

Donald Trump: The Anti-Henson


A teenage girl who attacked a member of staff at a North Lincolnshire school has today been named.
Elisha Burkill, 16, is appearing at Hull Crown Court to be sentenced today, after pleading guilty at a previous hearing to charges of section 18 wounding with intent and possession of a bladed article.
It comes after an incident at Winterton Community Academy on Monday, September 25, when Burkill stabbed support worker Joy Simon, 61.
As part of today's sentencing hearing, Judge Jeremy Richardson QC agreed to allow the defendant's name to be made public.
Judge Richardson added: "The defendant and her family and Mrs Simon lived in proximity to one another in a location within the catchment area of the school in Lincolnshire."
After the prosecution set out its evidence last week, today's hearing began with defence barrister Diana Ellis QC putting forward mitigation on behalf of Burkill.
Miss Ellis said it was a sad and complex case.
She added that Mrs Simon's injuries were both physical and psychological and have had a profound effect on her and many who know her.
And she said Burkill has accepted full responsibility for her actions and expressed remorse.
Miss Ellis said Burkill was suffering from a serious depressive illness and had hidden her deteriorating mental state from her parents.
Miss Ellis said the teenager attacked because of the tensions within her that she could not deal with.
She said this can be treated.
She added the attack on Mrs Simon happened when the teenager had not had any form of counselling, medication or professional intervention.
Even in her darkest period, the teenager was able to acknowledge to herself that she needed help and wanted help, Miss Ellis said.
Finishing her mitigation, Miss Ellis described the attack as the "ultimate call to attention of her conditions for which she is now happily receiving treatment and will continue to do so".

Vadeca foi uma editora discográfica portuguesa fundada no Porto, com ligações à família Valentim de Carvalho. Era propriedade da J.C. Donas Lda, fundada em 1941, que também detinha o selo Discos Roda desde 1969.

História
A meio da década de quarenta a Valentim de Carvalho renegociou o seu contrato com a multinacional EMI, passando a ser o único distribuidor nacional, com liberdade para selecionar e gravar no mercado português. Como consequência ocorreu a abertura de um estabelecimento comercial no Porto – a Vadeca – como resultado da falta de concorrência direta, passando pouco depois a editar discos.

A Discos Roda aparece em 1969. Julio Iglesias, Mocedades e Shocking Blue são alguns dos lançamentos da editora. Julio Iglesias chegou mesmo a gravar alguns dos temas em Português. Representava em Portugal editoras internacionais como a R&B Records, a Alhambra ou a brasileira RGE. Um dos nomes em maior destaque foi Roberto Leal.

Linucha, Artur Garcia, Carlos Zel e Fátima Caldeira são alguns exemplos de artistas nacionais.

As lojas de discos Vadeca eram cinco em 1978. Sendo três no Porto (Rua 31 de Janeiro, Av. Boavista e Shopping Brasília) e outras em Lisboa (Drugstore Alvalade) e Coimbra (Rua Ferreira Borges).

Também foi representante da editora Virgin tendo lançado por exemplo Mike Oldfiel, OMD, Tangerine Dream ou a compilação "Machines" de 1980. ),

Alguns dos artistas portugueses mais importantes da editora Vadeca foram Manuela Bravo (vitória no Festival da Canção com "Sobe Sobe Balão Sobe"), Adelaide Ferreira ("Baby Suicida" e "Trânsito"), Street Kids, Go Graal Blues Band (discografia entre 1983 e 1984), IODO, Frodo, Roxigénio, NZZN, TNT, Brigada Victor Jara ("Marcha Dos Foliões" de 1982 e a compilação "10 Anos (A Cantar Portugal)" de 1985), entre outros. Um dos diretores da editora era Ilídio Viana que por pouco assinava com os UHF antes de estes irem para a Valentim de Carvalho.

O selo português Roda Rock apareceu com o boom do rock português embora os lançamentos mais importantes dessa altura sejam na Vadeca.

Após o encerramento da editora, em 1986, a J.C. Donas e a marca Vadeca continuaram a existir mas virando-se apenas para a atividade de prestação de serviços na área da limpeza, ambiente e Jardins.

Apesar da habitual confusão  a atividade da Vadeca era distinta da editora Valentim de Carvalho e consequentemente da Emi-Valentim de carvalho ou mais tarde das Edições Valentim de Carvalho (Popular, Norte Sul, etc).

"Overheated" Hillary Stumbles or Faints at 911 Ceremony; Dilbert Founder Says "Race Probably Over"
Posted by Mish | September 11, 2016 3:43:06 | Economics
Hillary's Health Now An Issue
Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton cut short her appearance at a 911 ceremony, then stumbled and collapsed to the ground while entering a limo as she left the event.
Following a recent coughing attack, her health will now be a campaign issue.
Dilbert founder, Scott Adams says the race is now likely over.
Overheated Hillary
The New York Times reports Hillary Clinton, Feeling 'Overheated,' Leaves 9/11 Ceremony
Hillary Clinton on Sunday abruptly left a ceremony in New York marking the 15th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks before it concluded because she became "overheated," according to a campaign spokesman.
"During the ceremony, she felt overheated, so she departed to go to her daughter's apartment, and is feeling much better," said Nick Merrill, a Clinton spokesman, noting that the Democratic presidential nominee appeared at the event near ground zero for 90 minutes before leaving.
Health Now an Issue
The Washington Post reports Hillary Clinton's Health Just Became a Real Issue in the Presidential Campaign.
Hillary Clinton falling ill Sunday morning at a memorial service on the 15th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks will catapult questions about her health from the ranks of conservative conspiracy theory to perhaps the central debate in the presidential race over the coming days.
"Secretary Clinton attended the September 11th Commemoration Ceremony for just an hour and thirty minutes this morning to pay her respects and greet some of the families of the fallen," spokesman Nick Merrill said. "During the ceremony, she felt overheated, so departed to go to her daughter's apartment and is feeling much better."
What that statement leaves out is that a) it came 90 minutes after Clinton left the ceremony b) reporters — or even a reporter — were not allowed to follow her and c) the temperature in New York City at the time of Clinton's overheating was in the low 80s. (A heat wave over the eastern United States broke last night/this morning.)
Whereas Clinton and her campaign could laugh off questions about her health before today, the "overheating" episode makes it almost impossible for them to do so.
But the issue is that Clinton kept reporters totally in the dark for 90 minutes after her abrupt departure from the 9/11 memorial service for a health-related matter. No reporter was allowed to follow her.
This is, yet again, the Clinton campaign asking everyone to just trust it. She got overheated! But she's fine now!
Coughing Incident
Today's collapse comes after a massive coughing attack by Hillary Clinton at a Labor Day campaign rally in Cleveland, Ohio. September 5, 2016.
Not the Only Coughing Attack
The Race for President is (Probably) Over
Dilbert Founder Scott Adams says the Race for President is (Probably) Over.
If you are following breaking news, Hillary Clinton abruptly left the 9-11 memorial today because she was reportedly "overheated." Her campaign says she is fine now.
You probably wonder if the "overheated" explanation is true – and a non-issue as reported – or an indication of a larger medical condition. I'm blogging to tell you it doesn't matter. The result is the same.
If humans were rational creatures, the time and place of Clinton's "overheating" wouldn't matter at all. But when it comes to American psychology, there is no more powerful symbol of terrorism and fear than 9-11 . When a would-be Commander-in-Chief withers – literally – in front of our most emotional reminder of an attack on the homeland, we feel unsafe. And safety is our first priority.
Hillary Clinton just became unelectable.
The mainstream media might not interpret today's events as a big deal. After all, it was only a little episode of overheating. And they will continue covering the play-by-play action until election day. But unless Trump actually does shoot someone on 5th Avenue, he's running unopposed.
No book ad today. Remember 9-11 instead.
Is Hillary Unelectable?
I would not go that far. Yet, it does show how ridiculous it was to have an 89% chance on Hillary as Nate Silver did on August 14.
If Trump wins, Silver may try to hide behind this incident. But there was too much time left then to ascertain that someone had a 89% chance. There is still too much time left to make such a claim in any direction.
Trump's odds got better. But they were headed up anyway. Someone asked me yesterday what I thought it would take. I said we need to see a strong shift towards Trump in the next two weeks.
I now expect that shift. It may or may not be enough, but this race is now guaranteed to tighten.

Reblogged this on The Most Revolutionary Act and commented:
Dilbert founder saying she's unelectable.
It's really disheartening that people have to reject her on her heath problems, and they overlook the enormous corruption that permeates the whole system. I guess it's Mission Accomplished for the wrong reasons.
Tim said:
I hate her for the truly awful, despicable person she is. But if it takes a medical disqualification for others to reject her, so be it.
I must confess however, it is indeed tragic to witness someone squander their entire life & every shred of reputation in persist of something they'll never achieve.

I hate her and her husband. But tell me what to say to best argue against Liberals. Why is this an important issue to nullify her candidacy?
Hillary would be certainly unelectable to any position in a country occupied by sane people with reasonable IQs….this election will give us the answer to that. Reportedly her right leg went dead in this incident, and she shows all the signs of advanced neurological disease. Not to mention her murderous psychopathy….
peterblogdanovich said:
I think she had a stroke which dis coordinates her swallowing. Watch her 911 speech. She clearly has trouble swallowing. Saliva enters her wind pipe and as we all know from experience uncontrollable coughing is the result. Explains the Coumadin.
CJ said:
Most people reading Scott Adam's blog would think he supports The Donald. However, I will quote him here: "my public endorsement of Clinton for my personal safety." He says the death threats mostly ended when he made his "public endorsement for Hillary".
Enquiring minds are well aware of the body trail that follows the Clintons around.
Nomasir said:
I think the image of potential commander-in-chief having a medical episode and becoming unable to stand is powerful. If she had been president would they have sworn Tim Kaine in?
I actually googled what conditions cause extensive coughing and there is a load of them, some serious and some not so much.
Originally I thought that they both are rather old for the job and wondered is there really no other alternatives. Now, as it seems, the vice presidency candidates come under the light.
Her race seems to be over IMHO.

Just another right wing republican campaign conspiracy! "What does it matter?" Move on.
Good luck with that, Hillary. You can't hide it any longer.
I just did something I seldom ever do, I went up to CNN to check their version of the story, and oh my, they say she has pneumonia. Since CNN and MSNBC's jobs are to run interference and lie for Hitlary. they will spin the story in the coming days as: She has pneumonia, she's making a miraculous recover, she's all better… My what a strong person it takes to "spring" back like that… she's like a 20 year old. It's what the MSM is paid to do.
I could overlook lots of health problems, I can't overlook the massive corruption that permeates the democraptic and republicant party, congress and all the corporate scheming behind the scenes . With all the debt and with the petro dollar falling apart, and all the war related ill-will we created, really…. what do we have left to work with?
Ben said:
She'd be unelectable if her opponent wasn't a lunatic.
I dislike Hillary but I really hope she lives because she's the only person that can stop Trump from destroying global trade, destroying the world economy, embarrassing the United States, ending global cooperation, ending any action on climate change and probably starting a couple of wars somewhere while he's at it.
American politics is so f*cked.
Trader Joe said:
Go away troll
duh, Ben, have you been drinking some Kool-aid Hillary gave you?
The world economy is already destroyed, it's a zombie economy.
The US has already been embarrassed and lost huge amounts of prestige.
Trump will promote global cooperation. Trump wants to negotiate; Hitlary wants more wars.
Get a CLUE man!
Trump's idea of negotiating would be threatening leaders that insult his haircut or flying back to the US in disgust to anyone that doesn't roll out a red carpet for him.
Old Guy said:
And Hillary's would be signing the TIP and TPP so the remaining job would leave the USA shores. Hillary is a criminal and should be indicted for her misuses and destruction of two severs and wiping the third which she handed over.
Her health has been in decline for over 8 months but our MSM does not like the report about and chastised several media outlets for talking about it. Over heated my ass! Most likely parkinsens on set. Sad when Hillary fans slurp at her trough and forget if you or I committed the same offenses we would be in prison. Gotta love you criminal lovers.
The only reason this instance came to light is too many cameras and social media people there in attendance. Canot hide it forever.
Ben and how do you know how Hillary will negotiate? Nor do I but based on her record just like OBAMA after all she started all of the trade agreements and now stupid Americans have short term memory loss for some reason.
Get help Ben. You are disconnected from reality.

Right…..like hyperbole surrounding building walls on another country's wallet. That wasn't embarrassing at all! Go Trump! What a negotiator! Made in America. ….oh wait….maybe China…..I'm sick of opinions…..facts TRUMP trump……
American politics is so f*cked? Mostly because people have no idea who to vote against.
Stuki Moi said:
As soon as the first leech uttered the words "dumping," to the braindead applause of the sycophantic indoctrinati, global trade was cooked and done with. Not much left for Trump to do in either direction.
"The world economy" is, by now, simply the Sicilian economy writ large. Just a theft racket, no more, no less.
The United States is an embarrassment to humanity. As it has been for the past century or more. It was once a bit of a Shining City on the Hill, or at least so I have been told. But no country with a Central Bank and a racket of income and other activity taxes requiring pervasive spying on it's own residents, is in any way, shape or form and improvement over a simple visible from space, glow in the dark nuclear crater.
Various Mafia families cooperating wrt how to most effectively rob you, is in no way an improvement over them simply fighting it out amongst themselves.
The Climate is, thankfully, one of the few remaining things the idiotocracy hasn't been able to relegate to some "democratic process" yet. I'm sure they'll try. Spending billions of yours and my money on well connected insiders' "climate-engineering" startups. Which will show their mettle by spraying all manners of toxins into the atmosphere to combat such horrible things as fresh, sparkling soda bubbles. And to prevent the Cannucks from ever enjoying a balmy summer, or whatnot. But with any luck, the roaches from two paragraphs above, will beat them to it. It could only be a change for the better.
And the wars, will just go on and on and on. The drones have been taught to respond positively to "Oboma pay my mortgage, Booosh keep me safe" after all.
American politics is F'd. Because all politics is F'd. Because all government is F'd. If some tiny sliver of an administration, the size of Jefferson's, may be "required" for some reason, the simple failure to hold the cancer to that size, is why it is now all F'd. And will continue to remain F'd until someone, by far most likely from the outside, simple destroys it. Once and for all.
I personally don't like either major party candidate, but we are not electing a King, a Dictator, or an Emperor. Trump won't "rule". We have (in theory) a Constitutional system of checks and balances.
Trump being elected might be wonderful for two reasons: (1) the Clinton crime mob won't be in power, and (2) The House and Senate might finally find their lost cajones and take back their Constitutional powers from the Executive branch, rendering Trump ineffective without their support, passing legislation to stop the unconstitutional "Executive Orders".
Or, its all moot anyway with the banksters in full control of what matters. A Nation that can allow the false-flag 9/11 attack to stand is a nation long gone.
It would appear karma is coming back to "crooked" Hillary. She was already not electable based on her previous incompetence and inability to follow any rules.

Congressional Action
The Constitution does not expressly grant authority to anyone to postpone a federal election, advises a 2004 Congressional Research Service report. The report, however, concludes that Congress could pass a law to reschedule elections in times of emergency or other extenuating circumstances. Congress also has the ability to delegate rescheduling authority to the executive branch or state officials, states the report.
There are 3 other parties fielding candidates in the election, 2 of them are in all 50 states (not the Green party). So it can still be a runoff without a dummycrat, or just bump up the vice presidential dummycrat candidate. Anyone voting for Hitlary better figure he could be #1 before long in any case.
There was a precedent to this: when FDR ran the 4th time, he was too sick to hardly even campaign and he died less than 3 months after the inauguration. The public was generally unaware of the seriousness of FDR's health issues.

I wonder if she's been hitting the sauce? People tend to look for relief when they're under pressure. Her wobbly gait looked like that of a staggering drunk. Boy, I hope not. The last thing we need in the White House in 2017 is a Foster Brooks.
No idea why the dems chose Hillary to be their nominee. Entitlement? Dynasty? Very bad choice. Now they're stuck. She just doesn't have the persona. Not even the potential. As I enter my twilight years it would be repugnant to see her as our Commander in Chief. If I was still in the military and she visited my unit I doubt if I would even salute her. I'd rather take my chances with an Article 15 or even a Court Martial. A man has to have standards in life and stand by them through thick and thin. Otherwise you aren't a man.

As much as I despise Hillary for her and her spouse's misdeeds, it is painful to watch these videos. In order for her to continue now she will have to be given amphetamine injections or something similar. I recall the Russians doing that with ailing Boris Yeltsin a little before his last election – even got him to dance on stage with rock band.
She's had a couple fainting events. Neither can be laughed off by an obviously physically unfit 70YO. She can't make it up a short flight of steps without a big security guy pushing her big butt.
Looking forward to her going into a coughing fit at a debate and then slumping down behind the podium.
PS, Where was Bill,did he come rushing home to be by her side? How can a former prez wholives 30mi from ground zero skip the event? Busy with Clinton foundation fund raising?
He probably had a "busy" Saturday night and was sleeping it off.

I see a lot more pro Bernie bumper stickers than pro Hillary bumper stickers. I like what Bernie has to say. I wish we had a Congress that could curb his spending ideas into something fiscally sound. Do you think Biden would get the nod over Sanders?

Worst case: On life support Hillary would wreck less havoc than Trump.
Ergo, we shall see how accurate "Dilbert" (aka: The Source of All Divine Knowledge"!) is.
For that matter, her Dr issued a statement: ""Secretary Clinton has been experiencing a cough related to allergies," Dr. Lisa R. Bardack said in the statement. "On Friday, during follow up evaluation of her prolonged cough, she was diagnosed with pneumonia. She was put on antibiotics, and advised to rest and modify her schedule. While at this morning's event, she became overheated and dehydrated. I have just examined her and she is now re-hydrated and recovering nicely."
Wanna say that's a coverup? Sure. like Trump's daily off/on W** sarcasm!
Bulls**t.
The Neo-Con/NWO cultist oligarchs want their stooge to be the next President. (Their stooge is the current President). While any stooge will do, a severely incapacitated, terminally ill stooge would be the best one possible.

Wait until the next Wikileaks. She & her campaign will vapor lock on the spot.
LIKE… Lol. i remember the 1980's carburated cars when the oil industry increased the Reeds Pressure Test Requirements to 12PSI fuel flash point to 4,5 PSI. The rotting Hillary machinery does not run well on formaldehyde.
Dave said:
What are the democrats going to do?
Things look so bad she is going to have to quit the race. They are clearly lying about her health, this latest statement about 'pneumonia' causing it makes no sense. She collapsed, then a couple of hours later was walking around again. I dont see how someone can recover from pneumonia that quickly. Her doctors would have confined her to bed if that had been the reason.
So they must be covering up something even worse, and even worse, they have been caught lying about it.
So what next. Does Bernie Sanders come back or does Tim Kaine take over the Democratic candidacy?
Bill Jones said:
Your last sentence " It may or may not be enough, but this race is now guaranteed to tighten."
Implies that you think Clinton is ahead?
What evidence to you have?
Oh, right, the excrescences of a bunch of liberal polls.
You want to know why everybody lies so much? Why virtually all of our national leaders are pathological liars?
Yes, actually, there IS an answer to this compelling question. Here it is :
They lie because lying works.
We are in a world so completely devoid of any semblance of personal accountability that it only makes sense to lie your arse off.
Yes lying does seem to work, and there is also this, which is based on my personal experience: I ran for a local elected office once, and not knowing much about campaigning, I naively thought honesty is the best policy. The local political advisor told me I have to tell people what they want to hear, and after being elected you can do anything you want. I could not do that, and of course I was not elected. Turned out, that was a good thing for me.
The Clintons are the worst pathological lying POS's I can remember. I have never been able to figure out why so many people like crooks. Maybe commenter Ben will explain that to me.

You just explained something I've been saying for years — it takes a sociopath to succeed in politics. Normal healthy people cannot act this way and feel okay about it. Sociopaths have no feelings of remorse and can say/do anything that serves their purpose.
America is done. Nothing can stop the decay.

Hacking Hillary: A complete timeline of 2016 coughing fits
http://www.theamericanmirror.com/hacking-hillary-complete-timeline-2016-coughing-fits/
On Jan. 25, 2016, during a speech at the Jewish Federation of Greater Des Moines, Hillary suffered a coughing fit as she immediately grabbed a glass of water and pulled out a cough drop. (Alergens simply saturate the indoor air in Iowa in January, right?)
On Feb. 16, 2016, Hillary was giving a speech to the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture in New York, New York when she suffered one of her most severe coughing fits to date. (Alergens simply saturate the indoor air in NY in February, right?)
On April 4, 2016, while Hillary was doing a radio interview, the former Secretary of State began drinking water when she realized a coughing fit was coming on. After Hillary coughed a couple of times, she blamed the issue on "allergy season."
Hillary also said "My voice is failing," before coughing once again.
On May 5, 2016 during a campaign rally speech in California, Hillary went into another coughing fit. The speech was interrupted periodically by Hillary's coughing.
On June 4, 2016, Clinton was listening during a round table discussion when she began hacking uncontrollably. She motioned for an aide and drank about a half of a glass of water to soothe her throat.
On Aug. 31, 2016, Hillary was speaking to the American Legion when she appeared to be fighting back a cough by chewing on an apparent cough drop that looked to be lodged in her mouth. Then, Hillary can be heard actually biting down on the supposed cough drop. C-SPAN and PBS both picked up the sound in their audio recordings of the speech.
On Sept. 5, 2016, Hillary suffered a massive coughing fit during a campaign even in Cleveland, Ohio. Hillary began speaking and within minutes started coughing, prompting her to quickly grab the water at the podium. However, the water did not help much and that's when she pulled out a cough drop as she repeatedly patted her chest.
On Sept. 5, 2016, just hours after giving the coughing-induced campaign speech in Cleveland, Ohio, Hillary was asking questions from reporters when she suffered a severe coughing attack. The coughing forced her to walk to the front of the plane after being given water to calm the episode down.
Photos which were published by Reuters and Getty in February 2016 show Hillary with aides on both sides of her holding her arms as she ascends stairs.

September 11, 2016 – Clinton weaves and falls due to effects of "pneumonia" diagnosed two days prior. Problem initially claimed to be dehydration. Woman in blue dress accompanying her as she walked to the van performed a neurological "squeeze my fingers" test prior to arrival of the van. The same woman holds her up as she tries to enter the van.

I have worked in healthcare for 25 years. If someone her age had pneumonia there butt would be in ICU do not pass go do not collect 200 dollars. Also she would not be recovered 2 hours later. Sorry this excuse does not pass the sniff test.
People in health care know the difference between "their" and "there". What do you do, sweep the driveway?
High of 92 degrees and she's wearing a suit coat with shoulder pads? Genius.


TALLAHASSEE, FL – The Florida Retail Federation (FRF), the state's premier trade association representing retailers for over 75 years, announced today that consumer spending on Halloween is expected to set an all-time high with the average person spending almost $83, up from $74 in 2015. Total spending nationally on Halloween is expected to reach $8.4 billion up from $6.9 billion last year.
According to FRF's partners at the National Retail Federation's Halloween Consumer Spending Survey conducted by Prosper Insights & Analytics, U.S. consumers are expected to spend an average of $82.93, up from last year's $74.34, with more than 171 million Americans planning to partake in Halloween festivities this year.


I am a goal-orientated, faithful and decent lady. I have good moral values and the family is the biggest priority for me. I treat people with respect and value honesty, trust and unselfishness in people.
I am fond of art. I like to visit galleries of pictures and museums. Like most of people I like to travel also.
I want to find a man whom I love forever and who will support me in difficult moments of my life. I want to find a man who will not lie to me, and don't give any reasons to jealousy. I don't like betrayal and I want to find a person who thinks the same. It doesn't matter for me his age or country where is he from, it doesn't matter his eyes color or his weight for me. The most important think is his soul; it should be pure and honest.

Mentor Support Directory
Welcome to the Selfseeds Mentor Section. Our interest is to develop a community of holistic minded mentors who want to help people plant a Selfseed. The intention behind Selfseeds is to inspire and empower people to start growing their personal gardens. Our hope is to create a global support system for personal gardens throughout the world.
Selfseeds © grew out of a request to create a "partnering workshop" for equestrians based on the partnering skills from ballroom dancing. My dance partner at the time, Eddie Schiffman, and I developed an awareness program from the principles of yoga, balance, weight distribution, flexibility, symmetry, rhythm, and partnering skills. Riders got to work alone and with human partners to better understand themselves and how they approach partnering without the presence of a horse. This self discovery undoubtedly applied to their equine partnership.
Overtime, as my interest grew in the areas of nutrition, fitness, personality, and meditation, I could see that the equestrian based program could evolve into a collective human program for addressing the fundamental ingredients of a holistic lifestyle. It is work and attention to detail to maintain a healthy lifestyle, so my challenge and others is how to realistically stay on track.
Out of stubbornness, I resorted to 5 minute practices when I didn't have the time or energy to commit to a full practice. I started to experience and appreciate the continuity of this action. It tempered my feelings of guilt and created a sense of soul satisfaction to "stay in the loop." I thought of the name soulseeds, but it was a practice inclusive of the mind, body, and soul: Selfseeds was more comprehensive. The idea of planting a Selfseed, nurturing it, and experiencing the fruition is very metaphorical for a peaceful life practice. So welcome to the Selfseeds Program!
Growth of Selfseeds
As a person who has worked with horses my entire life, I have always had a desire to see animals in their natural environment and more on their terms. An opportunity to combine riding horses and seeing wild animals in South Africa became available, so I put my life on hold for three months and headed out February 28, 2011.
The firsthand experience with elephants, rhinoceros, cheetahs, hippos, lions, leopards, water buffalo, kudu, impala, zebras, and all of the other mammals, birds, insects, amphibians, and reptiles, was absolutely amazing. Between the animals and the land, I felt like I had touched something very sacred on our planet. The Waltzing Horses blog became my daily communication with friends and family, but it also turned into a journaling process for me to take note and digest what transpired within a 24 hour period.
After six weeks in South Africa, I headed north to Jaipur, India to find answers about humans and spirituality in a similar way that I was seeking answers at the essence level of animal existence.I was out of options for answers, so this appeared to be the make or break step to finding answers for, "Is it possible to find inner peace under all conditions?" and " Are we all connected by some deeper thread of being, below the ego level?"
Six weeks of remarkable inner energetic experiences, I decided that I would like to move to Jaipur for an indefinite period of time to dive deeper into this remarkable spiritual opportunity. The move required that I first return to California to reorganize animals, clients, and material goods. The blogging continued. The Waltzing Horses Blog shares an ongoing, deeper aspect of my personal journey through life.
In the meantime, Selfseeds continued to simmer by including a Selfeeds blog that shared personal experiences, videos, and articles that related to the 11 Selfseeds. They were germinating in the Selfseeds garden with the hope that they would inspire an interactive environment for sharing, supporting, motivating, and learning from one another.
As Selfseeds continues to grow, the step to create a virtual site is so the program does not become root bound and overcrowded. Now,the Selfseed garden walls are limited only by cyberspace, so let's get started by picking a Selfseed, planting it, and nurturing it with a 5 minute practice. Who knows what it could grow into. Have fun!
Susan Eoff's life path has been fueled by three passions: horses, ballroom dancing, and spirituality. Her early connection with horses was long-distance riding, winning the North American Trail Ride Conference's President's Cup in 1982, and competing in the Tevis Cup in 1984. While completing a BS in Genetics at the University of California, Davis, she discovered dressage. It was a turning point in her life pathway: pursuing a professional career as a dressage trainer was ignited (www.waltzinghorses.com). Her interest in history and global training techniques led her to multiple dressage masters in Portugal, France, Italy, Spain, Germany, and the US. Unsatisfied with the insensitivity and inhumanity of horse training practices, she began exploring the biomechanics and partnering aspects of ballroom dancing. Twenty years of ballroom dancing has provided remarkable insight into the physical and mental construct of unity in motion. Her nature as a scientist, seeker, and skeptic has guided her to examining the inner truth of humans by meditating in an ashram in India for an extended period of time.
Selfseeds has taken on a deeper meaning and continues to inspire me to grow my personal garden in width, depth, and variety. I completed the NASM personal trainer certification and the Corrective Exercises Certification. This step has greatly broadened my understanding of nutrition and fitness. The time in India has revolutionized my life and life approach. I went to India with the question of "Is inner peace possible while still staying connected to compassion, love, and truth?" My teacher said "Yes" and the journey inward began with intensity. The guidance and offering of the Selfseeds program has inspired me to find balance through the 11 selfseeds and to grow the uniqueness of who I am as an individuated part of the whole. My hope is to share Selfseeds, but in the meantime it has transformed my life starting with just 5 minutes.
"A garden is one of the few things in prison that one can control.
To plant a seed, watch it grow, tend to it and then harvest it gave me a feeling of simple happiness."

Elizabeth Johnson
Equine Therapist and Healer:
Education / Credentials:
Elizabeth has been working with the health and wellness of small, large, and exotic animals as well as wildlife for 35 years. She has spent the past 25 years doing equine and canine bodywork and rehabilitation on competitive and companion animals, managing nutritional issues and environmental effects, and using complimentary modalities to partner with veterinary medicine. She has had privilege to study and work under some of the top veterinarians and doctors in the field of saddle fit, nutrition, biomechanics, farrier science, CranioSacral therapy, myofascial release, trigger-point work, body balancing, applied kinesiology, herbal and homeopathic medicine, energy modalities and Traditional Chinese medicine. She works from a point of deep clinical understanding, empathy and compassion for the animal.
Elizabeth's work has morphed many times through the years using whatever modalities fit each individual case. She has, in the past, ridden a number of different disciplines, which helps with understanding the forces and stresses these animals are under for our pleasure, work and competitive desires and needs.
The animals themselves, have trained her in patience, understanding, divine presence and humility as well as human nature. As a practitioner, she sees that each animal's needs, priorities and personalities, as well as their humans, are different. Elizabeth evaluates all of this to promote well being in both the physical and emotional realm of all involved.
Her role is the spokesperson for the animal on many levels, with the owner/caregiver, veterinarians, farriers etc. This often includes a "veterinary to layman's" interpretation for the owners to help them better understand maladies and most importantly, how to find the health of the animal. Elizabeth attempts to marry the owner's timelines to the healing rhythms of the horse, which sometimes can be very challenging.
Elizabeth holds hands, gives hugs, and embraces their joys and their sorrow, always keeping an open heart.
Elizabeth brings forth a lifetime of experience with horses and has former extensive veterinary technician experience with large animal, small animal, exotics and wildlife rehab. She currently teaches an online accredited Equine anatomy and massage course for Horse Courses Online and Breyer University and was the Southern California Coordinator and co-instructor for Equinology and Caninology, an international educational program for equine and canine bodyworkers taught primarily by world-renowned veterinarians.

incoming: JSON validation framework for Python
==============================================

**incoming** is a JSON validation framework.

|Build Status| |Coverage Status|

.. |Build Status| image:: https://travis-ci.org/vaidik/incoming.png
   :target: https://travis-ci.org/vaidik/incoming
.. |Coverage Status| image:: https://coveralls.io/repos/vaidik/incoming/badge.png?branch=master
   :target: https://coveralls.io/r/vaidik/incoming?branch=master

Overview
--------

Validating anything can get really messy. JSON being one of the most used
formats for data exchange, **incoming** aims at solving the problem of
validating JSON with structure and ease.

**incoming** is a small framework for validating JSON. It's up to you where and
how to use it. A common use-case (and the primary reason why I wrote this
framework) is validating incoming JSON when writing HTTP servers.

Features
++++++++

* Classes that can be sub-classed for writing structured validators.
* Basic validators (or `datatypes`) for performing common validations, like
  string, numbers, booleans, lists, nested JSON, etc.
* Allows extending validators (`datatypes`) to write your own.
* Allows writing callables for validating values.
* Captures errors during validation and returns a complete report of errors.
* Allows reporting different errors for different validation test failures for
  the same value.

Installation
------------

Installation is simple.

.. code:: bash

    pip install incoming

Basic Usage
-----------

.. code-block:: python

    import json

    from datetime import date
    from incoming import datatypes, PayloadValidator

    class MovieValidator(PayloadValidator):
        name = datatypes.String()
        rating = datatypes.Function(
            'validate_rating',
            error='Rating must be in between 1 and 10.',
        )
        actors = datatypes.Array()
        is_3d = datatypes.Boolean()
        release_year = datatypes.Function(
            'validate_release_year',
            error='Release year must be in between 1800 and current year.',
        )

        # validation method can be a regular method
        def validate_rating(self, val, *args, **kwargs):
            return isinstance(val, int) and val >= 1 and val <= 10

        # validation method can be a staticmethod as well
        @staticmethod
        def validate_release_year(val, *args, **kwargs):
            return all((
                isinstance(val, int),
                val >= 1800,
                val <= date.today().year,
            ))

    payload = {

        ],
        'is_3d': True,
        'release_year': 2012
    }
    result, errors = MovieValidator().validate(payload)
    assert result and errors is None, 'Validation failed.\n%s' % json.dumps(errors, indent=2)

    payload = {
        'name': 'Avengers',
        'rating': 11,

    }
    result, errors = MovieValidator().validate(payload)
    assert result and errors is None, 'Validation failed.\n%s' % json.dumps(errors, indent=2)

If you run the above script, you will get::

As a photographer, I enjoy peering my eyeball behind the viewfinder of my camera as a way to observe the world from a rectangular perspective, but with endless possibilities. I enjoy capturing close-ups of nature and find it so captivating to photograph the delicacy of the small details of creation. I find it amusing in general that people are quick to copyright pictures, particularly nature and landscape photography. I mean, did you really create the plant and trees or were you fortunate to see the beautiful side to its beauty? Did you really paint the landscape or did you simply capture the scene at a special moment in life? Copyrighting nature seems a bit silly in one sense, but it is so profitable to sell because of its beauty!
Curiously, I noticed two imperfections with this photograph and it has nothing to do with my lens, but it is only now that I see the photos in a high-resolution monitor that I now affirm these imperfections. One of which is a visible black dot to the side of a green leaf to the left – I know, who would have thought! The other is a slice to one of the red berries. Imperfections? I think it is beautiful, because this is how nature changes. One day there is ice sprinkled over leaves, the next day it may disappear. Likewise, the berries captured in this particular shot are no longer with us. Tweety Pie needs to eat too! The next time you see an 'imperfection' – capture it, because the next time it may no longer be there!

Home/News/Complete disengagement of troops along LAC necessary: India, China agree
Complete disengagement of troops along LAC necessary: India, China agree
By Nihad Amani| Published: 6th July 2020 4:53 pm IST
New Delhi: In what is being perceived to be a thaw in the India-China face-off in Eastern Lasakhs Galwan Valley, the Special Representatives of India and China on the Boundary Question – Ajit Doval, National Security Advisor of India and Wang Yi, State Councillor and Minister of Foreign Affairs of China spoke on the telephone.
In their conversation on Sunday, the two Special Representatives had a frank and in-depth exchange of views on the recent developments in the Western Sector of the India-China border areas.
They agreed that both sides should take guidance from the consensus of the leaders that maintenance of peace and tranquillity in the India-China border areas was essential for the further development of our bilateral relations and that two sides should not allow differences to become disputes. So it was necessary to ensure at the earliest complete disengagement of the troops along the LAC and de-escalation from India-China border areas for full restoration of peace and tranquillity.

In this regard they further agreed that both sides should complete the ongoing disengagement process along the LAC expeditiously. The two sides should also ensure a phased and stepwise de-escalation in the India-China border areas.
They re-affirmed that both sides should strictly respect and observe the Line of Actual Control and should not take any unilateral action to alter the status quo and work together to avoid any incident in the future that could disturb peace and tranquillity in border areas.
The two Special Representatives agreed that the diplomatic and military officials of the two sides should continue their discussions, including under the framework of the Working Mechanism for Consultation and Coordination on India-China border affairs (WMCC), and implement the understandings reached in a timely manner to achieve the above outcomes.

Q: Phonegap password prompt i want to make a password prompt in phonegap.
any plugins or html/js snippet
i have tried
function onPrompt(results) {
    alert("You selected button number " + results.buttonIndex + " and entered " + results.input1);
}

// Show a custom prompt dialog
//
function showPrompt() {
    navigator.notification.prompt(
        'Please enter your name',  // message
        onPrompt,                  // callback to invoke
        'Registration',            // title
        ['Ok','Exit']              // buttonLabels
    );
}

but it doesnt have any option for password

A: You need to look at the native code to display password promt.
As I never need a "normal prompt", I have changed the code in the phonegap plugins for iOS and android but I am sure there is a better way to do it.
for iOS in Plugins/CDVNotification.m
   - (void)showDialogWithMessage:(NSString*)message title:(NSString*)title buttons:(NSArray*)buttons defaultText:(NSString*)defaultText callbackId:(NSString*)callbackId dialogType:(NSString*)dialogType
{

CDVAlertView* alertView = [[CDVAlertView alloc]
    initWithTitle:title
              message:message
             delegate:self
    cancelButtonTitle:nil
    otherButtonTitles:nil];

alertView.callback

Id = callbackId;

    int count = [buttons count];

    for (int n = 0; n < count; n++) {
        [alertView addButtonWithTitle:[buttons objectAtIndex:n]];
    }

    if ([dialogType isEqualToString:DIALOG_TYPE_PROMPT]) {
        alertView.alertViewStyle = UIAlertViewStyleSecureTextInput; /*this is what you need*/
        UITextField* textField = [alertView textFieldAtIndex:0];
        textField.text = defaultText;
    }

    [alertView show];
}

and for android in src/org/apache/cordova/dialogs/notification.java
public synchronized void prompt(final String message, final String title, final JSONArray buttonLabels, final String defaultText, final CallbackContext callbackContext) {

        final CordovaInterface cordova = this.cordova;
        final EditText promptInput =  new EditText(cordova.getActivity());
        promptInput.setHint(defaultText);
        promptInput.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT | InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_PASSWORD);
...

A: You just need to add one line in
App Name\platforms\android\src\org\apache\cordova\dialogs\Notification.java
promptInput.setInputType(0x00000081);
