If you are a free spirited person who likes to participate in extravagant events that challenge your imagination and originality, it means that you eagerly wait for the carnival because it represents the perfect opportunity to prove your creativity. In addition, if you are passionate about sewing, you master basic techniques and you already completed various projects in the past, it means that you are more than willing to DIY your costume and stand out from the crowd. However, sometimes things do not work as you plan and you need to consider other methods of accomplishing a mission, in this case, choosing the ideal costume for the carnival. For instance, what happens if you find out about the carnival in the last minute and you simply do not have time to gather the necessary materials and tools in order to create a costume from scratch but you really want to go?
Moreover, choosing to DIY sometimes will prove to be more expensive than exploring various fatos carnaval baratos and selecting something appropriate for your personality. Are you willing to invest more money than needed for an outfit that you will only wear once a year or maybe once in your lifetime? You might say that investing in a costume that will captivate everyone's attention is definitely worth it and you are probably right, except for the fact that if you navigate on various websites, you have a great chance to discover unique costumes at very convenient prices. In addition, this will save you the hassle of running around for supplies and rushing to finish the costume until the carnival. We all know that haste makes waste so you should not expect a striking result from the beginning or you should, but not in a positive way. You probably know from the experience accumulated in time that for every project you need supplies, patience and more importantly, time.
Once you start navigating on the internet and viewing all the options available in terms of fatos carnaval originais, you will no longer think about your sewing machine. The truth is that carnival costumes providers really managed to cover a multitude of ideas in terms of not only outfits, but also footwear and accessories, all with the single purpose of pleasing everyone's needs and preferences as well as every occasion or event, whether carnival, Halloween or extravagant parties. Thus, the possibility of not discovering something captivating and flattering is minimal or even inexistent. Moreover, you no longer have to worry or panic if you need a last-minute costume because you can select the ideal one from the comfort of your own home.
Websites like https://www.acasadocarnaval.pt/ know exactly how to combine quality costumes and affordable prices, which means that everyone can afford to purchase something that suits their tastes. As a creative spirit, you can attempt to match various items on the website and create a unique outfit or you can buy a costume and add extravagant accessories that you created in your last DIY projects. This way, you bring personal contribution to your original and wonderful costume.

"We Own This Country": Clint Eastwood Reloaded
Badger Pundit has put together this video interspersing parts of Clint Eastwood's speech at the RNC with the advertisement that ran during halftime of the Super Bowl.
I think it's pretty effective.
Badger Pundit has put together this video interspersing parts of Clint Eastwood's speech at the RNC with the advertisement that ran during halftime of the Super Bowl.
I think it's pretty effective.
"New Florida poll shows vindication of Eastwood Strategy"
Even Bill Maher is saying that Clint "nailed it."
May I suggest that the coming conservative Hollywood use a lot of Morricone-esque and surf music in the background … they really give off a rugged individualistic vibe.
I am all in favor of Morricone's giallo stuff playing in the background of attack ads.
Some of the tracks from Lizard in a Woman's Skin, for example, would be a perfect match for the eternally duplicitous Pelosi or Warren.
To Clint:
Star Bright,
Star with Light
You filled my every wish last night,
For I had wished with all my might,
That what you said, WOULD SET US RIGHT!
Oh My.
I would cut out the Breitbart part at the end if it were my video. I think it would be more effective that way.
Why? The spirit that animates Clint Eastwood is the same as the one that animated Andrew Breitbart.
It's the American Spirit of self-reliance, no self-pity, and a belief that our rights come from God.
To clarify, the Breitbart images aren't unique to this video — I've included them on most of my videos, marking Breitbart's key role as an inspiration for my work (and that of so many others).
To some degree, of course, including them may deter independents and progressives from viewing the videos. With that in mind, for this video I moved the title pages to the very end. Their function was never really to promote my channel, or Breitbart, but to identify the source of the video for those who download it, and to pay homage to Breitbart in some fashion. I'll probably continue having them at the end of future videos. Thanks for the comment, which raised a valid point.
I knew exactly what you meant by putting Breitbart at the end of your video.
Don't apologize for recognizing who inspires you – he inspires me, too.
Good job on the video. I like the way you blended the messages together.
That clip is the type of stuff that can create an army.
The race is looking better than I expected it to at this point, but Obama retains the advantages of incumbency (and the edge at Intrade). Consumer confidence has improved recently.
IMO Romney must be bold in order to win: bold than his advisers, but not reckless. The Ryan pick and the Eastwood appearance meet that criterion, as does the tour of Louisiana.
If Romney keeps to this campaign style, he has a good shot at prevailing.
"The Demo Rats Gather for Payoff Convention"
Let us shout, Hallelujah, "THE WON'S" comin' to town
Our convention's about to begin.
So put on "happy faces"; turn your frowns upside down,
And pretend FEARLESS LEADER will win!
We have done all we could to keep hidden the truth–
CORRUPT MEDIA was our whore from the start.
'Tho its influence is dying; and its concept of "proof",
Makes the worst of "Three Stooges" look smart.
But, we'll muddle along; "It's all part of the show!"
Doesn't Barry look, "So sweet these days"?
"His ears never looked better, and his golf scores, you know,
Are deserving of the public's best praise!
Our elites will be here; pray the rabble won't swoon,
By the "great ones' impossible glow!
Presidenta Jarrett will command the whole room,
Even Godfather Rahm plans to show!
We will bravely ignore those unflattering facts,
Which our Media Whores carefully shroud–
So many of the "faithful" shall be missing "all acts"—
They will lose if they're seen in our crowd!
Make the Kool-Aid more potent; share the graft all around!
We can spend like we're "Kings for a Day"!
So what if we lose; when THE WON'S lost His crown,
We've got BILLIONS safe hidden away!
No rights reserved – copy; send; improvise; share the fun!
Ramirez on the empty-chair presidency:
Being the cock-eyed optimist I am, perhaps this is too sunny, but…
the morning after the election, if Obama is turned out, there will be a PALPABLE sense of return and change…
which will lead to hope, and investment, and MORE change…
which will lead to greater hope and optimism.
There is HUGE pent-up demand in our nation…for lots of things, and REFORM is one of them. The trick for us will be channeling that demand in the right ways.
I think it's a great mash-up, and I love the Breitbart imagery at the end. It belongs.
About that image – someone (and I hope ya'll know who I'm talking about) stepped up at the exact moment it was needed and created it. And the guy did so while giving it away, exemplifying how much can get done if you don't care who gets credit.
Big Fur Hat at IOwntheWorld.com created the image of Breitbart,
DingDingDing! We have a winnah!
Seriously – it's not the only note-worthy (or notorious) thing BFH has done, but it's got to be in the top ten. He did an absolutely outstanding thing there.
[…] Jacobson has a video that Badger Pundit made that meshes Mr. Eastwood's speech with the Super Bowl commercial he did for Chrysler. The […]
WOW!! That has to be played on every TV venue and on whatever internet there is. That is the most effective spot I have seen!
[…] Insurrection's Professor Jacobson has two related pieces today: "We Own This Country": Clint Eastwood Reloaded (with a superb video) and the fact today's Romney-Ryan event in Florida is packed. Given the tepid, pathetic […]
I was never offended by the Halt Time in America ad. Isn't half time when the glitzy aging, nipple exposing, crotch grabbing, over botoxed prancing pony of an aging pop star takes the stage? I thought it was a great metaphor for the Obama administration. Looks like half time is almost over and the pop star realizes that his act is over produced, over exposed, and not what was promised.
It got me all misty eyed.
RR victory song should be INXS- Don't Change.
Nice vid … I would have added a clip of the "Occupiers" in their "native environment" then Mr Eastwood coming out with his shotgun and stating "Get off my damn lawn".
Well done, Badger! Keep the Breitbart.
The more the subconscious rumination of Clint's "speech" goes on in my head, the more convinced I become it was a phenomenal performance, delivered exactly as he intended. Initial bemusement has become profound admiration. I now agree with what a commenter elsewhere said – the first clue was the mussed hair. What a guy.
[…] HT: Legal Insurrection […]
[…] at Legal Insurrection […]
Thankfully the political left has consistently underestimate the resiliency of the American economic system and it's political philosophy. This is the third time they will have failed to convert this nation to their utopia. Wilson, FDR and now Obama. Long may their failures continue.

ANCASTER, ONT.—The Canadian Open always seems to come down to the last hole.
Of the 12 tournaments since 2000, all but two have been decided by one shot, including five requiring a playoff. Three shots — in 2001 and 2008 — is the largest winning margin.
So, the chances are pretty good that a lot will be at stake as the final groups this weekend make their way to No. 18 at Hamilton Golf & Country Club, a 446-yard par-4 bisected by a creek that leaves little room for error on the way to a severe green.
"I think it's a great finishing hole," said William McGirt, who followed up his opening-round 63 Thursday with a 4-under-par 66 Friday to grab a share of the 36-hole lead with Scott Piercy at 11-under 129. "Some people will say it's weak because you're not hitting driver off the tee but it's still a tough tee shot and the second shot is all you want."
No. 18, the signature hole on this traditional layout, has proven as tough as advertised.
On Thursday, it was the third toughest hole on the golf course after the par-4 11th and par-3 sixth. It yielded just nine birdies from the 156-player field while chalking up 35 bogeys, five double-bogeys and one triple-bogey with a scoring average of 4.25.
Friday, it played even tougher. No. 18 was the hardest hole in the second round with a 4.3 scoring average and just nine birdies compared to 36 bogeys, eight doubles and a triple. Through two rounds, it's the toughest hole.
On the weekend, with the tournament on the line and large galleries packing the hill surrounding the hole as players hit up to the green, it promises to be a great spectacle.
With the creek about 285 yards off the tee and spanning 50 yards, driver is too dangerous a play, especially into the wind. But a straight layup on the edge of the water is also tricky because it affords an uneven stance. So, most players are hitting long irons or utility clubs and leaving themselves about 190 yards uphill to the green.
"It's a very tough hole," said Robert Garrigus, who made what he called "a good four" on No. 18 Friday. He hit a three-iron off the tee, a six-iron left of the back-centre pin location and had two putts to finish up a 4-under-par 66 and sit a shot back at 10 under.
But Garrigus, a resident of Scottsdale, Ariz., who made par on Thursday at No. 18 with the same strategy, said he's hoping for a wind at his back so he can bring out the driver.
"If we end up getting into a playoff and it's downwind, I'm sending it because it's sand wedge (into the green) from up there," he said. "I have to fly it 335 (yards) to get it to the fairway and downhill, downwind I can do that but into the wind I can't do that."
Reaching the green safely, however, is no guarantee of success. Just ask Chris Kirk of Sea Island, Ga., who four-putted No. 18 on Thursday on his way to a triple-bogey.
Poor positioning off the tee left him with a 25-foot par putt, which he missed. His five-foot bogey putt then lipped out and he was left with 12 feet for double, which he missed.
"That's just the nature of that green," Kirk said after making a routine two-putt par on Friday to finish with a 4-under-par 66 and a two-day total of 135, 5 under par. "Whether it's fair or not, I'll leave it for other people to judge."
But McGirt, who hails from Boiling Springs, S.C., and is looking for his first PGA Tour victory in this his second season, said the unpredictability of No. 18 makes it special.
He made one of Thursday's rare birdies at No. 18, admitting "I got lucky" that day because his three-wood off the tee caught the rough and stayed short of the creek. On Friday, he dialled back to a five-wood and was happy to walk away with par.
"It's a great amphitheatre with lots of excitement," said McGirt. "The crowd loves it."

A bullying work environment or an unkind culture
Failure of senior leadership to help advance someone "like yourself". You may not "fit-the-mold"

"Emotional Intelligence is much more powerful than IQ in determining who emerges as a leader. IQ is a threshold competence. You need it, but it doesn't make you a star. Emotional intelligence can." Warren Bennis, author of "On Becoming a Leader".
As a Certified Social and Emotional Intelligence Coach with the Institute for Social and Emotional Intelligence and a Certification in Positive Psychology to Coach Emotional Intelligence, it's apparent that I truly enjoy coaching this part of the leadership journey!
Over the years I've helped professionals identify and use Social and Emotional Intelligence as a key strength in their success. I've had the opportunity to see a transformation in the mindsets and behaviors of clients! I can say with confidence that this way of leadership can be life changing! Research has shown that Emotional Intelligence (or EQ) has a greater role in our success in the workplace and life, accounting for about 80% of our success, while IQ (cognitive intelligence) accounts for about 20% of our success. (Dr. Laura Belsten)
What is Emotional Intelligence?
Emotional intelligence is the ability to be aware of our own emotions and the emotions of others, in the moment, and to use that information to manage ourselves and our relationships optimally. Some examples:
The Healthcare worker who becomes a trusted resource by listening closely to clients' wants while addressing fears and concerns
The co-worker who is able to anticipate and adjust to change by considering various perspectives and rethinking assumptions
The direct reporter who listens to feedback without getting defensive
The supervisor who can sense the room's energy and respects and interprets others' needs
The small business owner who never gives up and bounces back from adversity
Emotional intelligence will help you learn about the power of "plasticity" which is the term neurologists use to describe the brain's ability to change. Your brain grows new connections as you learn new skills.
How critical is emotional intelligence to your success?
Research among Fortune 500 companies at Stanford University showed that 90% of those who failed as leaders did so because they lacked the interpersonal skills that are a critical component of emotional intelligence. In addition, The Center for Creative Leadership showed that poor interpersonal skills are a leading cause of derailment from executive-level positions. We all know people who are highly intelligent but have difficulty at work because of their inability to work and relate to others effectively. Unlike IQ, which remains pretty much the same throughout our lives, EQ can be enhanced through appropriate training and coaching.
Emotional intelligence can be learned! How do I start?
One of the quickest ways to gain insight into your Social and Emotional Intelligence is to take an emotional intelligence assessment. I offer the Social and Emotional Intelligence Profile (SEIP) which is:
A leading model of both Social and Emotional Intelligence, measuring 26 relevant and distinct social and emotional intelligence competencies
A model used by over 75% of Fortune 500 companies
A highly accurate, valid, and reliable measure. A third-party evaluation team stated the SEIP is "the most valid and reliable instrument we've seen in over 8 years of doing this work!" (Dr. Laura Belsten)
Administered electronically to be quick, easy to use, and easy to understand
An assessment report describing, in behavioral terms, what Social and Emotional Intelligence skills look like when an individual has them and when they do not
The result of evidence - based design and development (over 10 years by Dr. Laura Belsten)
Provides developmental suggestions for coaches and the individual being coached, including action steps and plans
The Business Case for Emotional Intelligence – A recent series of landmark studies shows that it's not how "book smart" you are, but how "people smart" you are that makes the difference. Consider the following research findings * :
Emotional intelligence has a greater role in our success in the workplace and life,
accounting for about 80-90% of our success while IQ (cognitive intelligence) accounts for about 10-20% of our success.
The higher an executive goes in an organization, the more important Emotional Intelligence becomes. At the top, researchers believe that 90-95% of success is driven by Emotional Intelligence.
Unlike IQ, Emotional Intelligence can be learned and developed. Research shows that Emotional Intelligence increases with age. In fact, people in their 40s and 50s have greater Emotional Intelligence skills than they had earlier in their lives.
Research by the Center for Creative Leadership demonstrates that almost half of all executives fail at their positions within two years. The reason is not a lack of technical competence or cognitive ability, but a lack of Emotional Intelligence competencies (e.g., interpersonal skills, sensitivity, conflict resolution, and emotional awareness of others).
The Air Force, which used emotional intelligence assessment instruments to select recruiters, found a three-fold increase in the success of high Emotional Intelligence recruiters resulting in an immediate saving of $3 million annually.
Partners in a multi-national consulting firm were assessed on their Emotional Intelligence competencies. Those who scored above the median on 9 or more of 20 competencies delivered $1.2 million more profit from their accounts than did other partners – a 139% incremental gain.
L'Oréal, whose sales agents were selected on the basis of emotional competencies, outsold their counterparts not selected on Emotional Intelligence competencies by $91,370 (a net increase to L'Oréal of $2,558,360 the first year the program was implemented). Those selected on the basis of emotional competencies also had 63% lower turnover during the first year than those selected by the usual means.
In a national insurance company, insurance agents who were weak in emotional competencies such as self-confidence, initiative, and empathy sold policies with an average premium of $54,000. Those who were very strong in at least 5 of 8 key emotional competencies sold policies worth $114,000.
How long employees stay at a company and how productive they are while working there is determined by their relationship with their immediate supervisor. People with "good" bosses (defined as having high Emotional Intelligence) are 4X less likely to leave than those with "poor" bosses.
A large beverage firm started assessing Emotional Intelligence when selecting new executives and attrition dropped 44%. They also found that division leaders with high Emotional Intelligence outperformed their target goals by 15-20% while those who lacked high Emotional Intelligence underperformed by almost 20%.
* Compiled by Laura Belsten from the following sources: The Center for Creative Leadership, 1999; Goleman, 1999, 2000, 2001; Boyatzis, 1999; Cooper, 1998; Spencer & Spencer, 1993; Spencer, McClelland & Kelner, 1997; and Cherniss, 2001. Organizations wanting to compete effectively in today's marketplace have to have the most emotionally intelligent workforce possible. To get to the next level in business, we must blend the progress we've made in using intellect with the invaluable competencies of Emotional Intelligence. It is Emotional Intelligence that will solve our retention and morale problems, improve our creativity, create synergy from teamwork, speed information by way of sophisticated people networks, drive our purpose, and ignite the best and most inspired performance from others. In study after study, from many different industries and professions, those who had high Emotional Intelligence competencies outperformed their colleagues. This popular program begins with one of the emotional intelligence (EI) assessments (either as a 360 or as a self-scoring inventory) and continues with your choice of a variety of EI workshops and coaching sessions.
These may include stress management, powerful influencing skills, realistic optimism, honing awareness and understanding of ourselves and others, teamwork and collaboration, developing and coaching others, managing conflict, innovation, building trust, catalyzing change, and much more.
Social and Emotional Intelligence is comprised of 26 competencies. Emotional Intelligence coaching helps you gain the edge you need to increase performance in your work and personal life. We focus specifically on being more aware – being in the moment – of our emotions, our intuition, and those feelings that bubble up from deep within us. We pay attention to this information and use it to make better decisions to manage ourselves more productively.
I would be excited to work with you. Together we will…
Discover the 26 Emotional Intelligence competencies and which ones are most important for your leadership journey
Identify your strengths and vulnerabilities
Learn how to enhance your Emotional Intelligence with competency-based stories
Draw up your individual development plan
Engage in weekly or biweekly coaching
Use highly-interactive exercises and customized modules
Use ongoing coaching in between workshops to reinforce your learning and support
while integrating new leadership practices in the organization or business you lead.
Studies conclude that the fastest way to enhance Social and Emotional skills is through coaching. Unfortunately, awareness of Social and Emotional Intelligence is most prominent when it's missing. For example:
The co-worker no one trusts
A colleague who just can't stop jumping in to offer their conclusions, solutions, or opinions
The boss who explodes when a deadline is missed
The direct reporter who can't handle stress
The office bully who leaves a toxic cloud in the organizational climate
Cultivating Social and Emotional Intelligence is a smart thing for anyone to do, and it's vital for you and your staff members if you are a corporate team leader, a small business owner with employees, or an individual who wants to .
Develop more rewarding relationships personally and professionally to increase resiliency, manage stress, anger, frustration, and anxiety while reading other people's emotions more effectively for smoother and more productive interactions
Be more intentional in life and work
Manage conflict and stress more productively
Increase enjoyment and resilience in life
Strengthen your communication and interpersonal skills
And much more…
Emotional Intelligence is linked to Performance How much of an impact does emotional intelligence have on your professional success? The short answer is A HUGE IMPACT! It's a powerful way to focus your energy in one direction with a tremendous result. Your emotional intelligence is the foundation for a host of critical skills—it impacts most everything you say and do each day. Emotional intelligence is the single biggest predictor of performance in the workplace and the strongest driver of leadership and personal excellence.
Develop Emotional Intelligence for Engagement in Work and Life! Ongoing coaching in between workshops further reinforces the learning and supports leaders in integrating new leadership practices.

Eat your heart out, Chef Boyardee
September 20th, 2009
Much to my excitement, I stumbled upon this photograph by Francis Hills of a woman face-down in what appears to be either maggots or spaghetti. I'm hoping the latter, but with photogs these days taking pictures of women hiding in body cavities, it would hardly come as a surprise. [ Continue Reading ]

Florida State is aware that NC State fans will not allow 35,000 Seminoles to scoop up tickets on Saturday – as South Florida fans did a week ago – so Jimbo Fisher is preparing his team for its first real road game.
Fisher not only is pumping in music and loud noise at the stadium for two days this week, a standard practice, but he has also put his offense into whisper only mode to prepare for the approximately 60,000 that will stuff Carter-Finley Stadium.
"We'll make our quarterbacks whisper," Fisher said. "They won't be allowed to talk. Making our guys read lips, making them see things.
"We'll have the noise out there making all that ruckus, making it as loud as we can. We'll have to be able to communicate by sign language."
Fisher believes having his quarterbacks talk in hushed tones forces the rest of his offense to be more alert.
"The whispering, you'll be shocked how much that helps," he said. "It makes guys pay attention, they have to focus. Sometimes you do it you can even get better on the road. You really get guys focused and attention on things."
The Seminoles did mix in some silent counts last week just in case, but the game at Raymond James Stadium was more like a neutral site considering FSU fans outnumbers USF followers. Quarterback EJ Manuel, though, says he welcomes unfriendly environments.
"I doesn't affect me. I used to watch Reggie Miller, he'd do this (putting his index finger to his lips) when he'd knock down a three," Manuel said about the Indiana Pacers guard who was best known for shushing the crowd at Madison Square Garden when he'd hit a big shot.
"When we have an opportunity to do that to an opposing crowd that makes us feel good as a team."

text: My name is Robert Baker. I have been selectively breeding boas for over 20 years. My collection is somewhat small but I do have a great collection that is packed with a lot genes. I have acquired diverse bloodlines from top breeders throughout the years. I primarily work with recessive genes. This strategy allows me to maintain a smaller collection yet keeps my boas in high demand for other breeders and hobbyist.

Sel Gris French Grey Sea Salt is hand harvested from the clay-lined salt ponds in the Guérande region of France, giving it a soft grey color and mineral-rich moisture. One of the most well-known gourmet French sea salts, Sel Gris has a crunchy texture that works well with grilled and braised meats, roasted potatoes and other root vegetables. Though iconic in French cuisine, the characteristic briny flavor pairs nicely with a wide variety of foods, from roasted nuts to stews and salads to cookies, and is one of the most popular salts for topping homemade chocolate caramels. Sel Gris is a delicious, mineral-rich substitute for everyday table salt, and comes in a variety of grain sizes to fit every kitchen.
Sel Gris Tamisé (Coarse): The sifted coarse, grey crystals of Sel Gris Tamisé add a pleasing minerality and lasting crunch without overpowering. The Tamisé size is great for cooking, baking and topping caramel and chocolate confections.

Toys "R" Us Provincial Sales Tax Class Action
Spiteri and Ursulak LLP is investigating a proposed class action against Toys "R" Us, Babies "R' Us, and other defendants in respect of potentially improper provincial sales tax (PST) charges for certain baby and children's products.
In December 2015, the CBC reported that Toys "R" Us' online store had charged PST on baby items exempt from the tax, such as car seats and strollers.
In addition to Manitoba, other provinces exempt certain baby and children products from provincial sales tax.
Individuals who have been charged PST on certain baby and children products through Toys "R" Us' online store may be entitled to compensation for the charges.
