EBay Bans Magic Potions, Curses, Spells

So in Mid August 2012, eBay announced that they were banning the sale of Magic Potions, Curses, and Spells. Interesting right? I thought, why do they need to do that? Is it that the spells and curses really work? Did somebody put a spell on an eBay employee? But if the spells or curses really work, wasn't eBay worried this would really bring on a ton of new curses placed on them? I'm not really sure, but it seems like a catch-22 damned if you do, damned if you don't. Now its 9-27-12, and the Religion&Spirituality category is still one of the most popular categories. There are plenty of items available under Wicca & Paganism, as well as Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, and Judaism. So what does this mean? ......Religious items are still a big seller.

The ten habits of remarkably charismatic people

Some people instantly make us feel important. Some people instantly make us feel special. Some people light up a room just by walking in. We can't always define it, but some people have it: They're naturally charismatic. Unfortunately, natural charisma quickly loses its impact. Familiarity breeds, well, familiarity. But some people are remarkably charismatic: They build and maintain great relationships, consistently influence (in a good way) the people around them, consistently make people feel better about themselves--they're the kind of people everyone wants to be around...and wants to be. Fortunately we can, because being remarkably charismatic isn't about our level of success or our presentation skills or how we dress or the image we project--it's about what we do. Here are the 10 habits of remarkably charismatic people: 1. They listen way more than they talk.  Ask questions. Maintain eye contact. Smile. Frown. Nod. Respond--not so much verbally, but nonverbally. 2. They don't practice selective hearing. Remarkably charismatic people listen closely to everyone, and they make all of us, regardless of our position or social status or "level," feel like we have something in common with them. 3. They put their stuff away. Don't check your phone. Don't glance at your monitor. Don't focus on anything else, even for a moment. 4. They give before they receive--and often they never receive. Never think about what you can get. Focus on what you can provide. Giving is the only way to establish a real connection and relationship. 5. They don't act self-important… The only people who are impressed by your stuffy, pretentious, self-important self are other stuffy, pretentious, self-important people. 6. …Because they realize other people are more important. You already know what you know. You know your opinions. You know your perspectives and points of view. That stuff isn't important, because it's already yours. You can't learn anything from yourself. But you don't know what other people know, and everyone, no matter who they are, knows things you don't know. 7. They shine the spotlight on others. No one receives enough praise. No one. Tell people what they did well. 8. They choose their words. The words you use impact the attitude of others. 9. They don't discuss the failings of others... Granted, we all like hearing a little gossip. We all like hearing a little dirt. The problem is, we don't necessarily like--and we definitely don't respect--the people who dish that dirt. Don't laugh at other people. When you do, the people around you wonder if you sometimes laugh at them. 10. ...But they readily admit their failings. Incredibly successful people are often assumed to have charisma simply because they're successful. Their success seems to create a halo effect, almost like a glow. The keyword is seem. You don't have to be incredibly successful to be remarkably charismatic. Scratch the shiny surface, and many successful people have all the charisma of a rock. But you do have to be incredibly genuine to be remarkably charismatic. Be humble. Share your screw-up's. Admit your mistakes. Be the cautionary tale. And laugh at yourself. People won't laugh at you. People will laugh with you. They'll like you better for it--and they'll want to be around you a lot more. By Jeff Haden Inc.com

Personal Safety Security Alarm

Just Got several of these Personal Safety Security Alarms  "PAAL" personal security alarm.  It is in the original box, with the directions and accessories included.  This is a great little alarm.  Put in your purse when you go shopping, or your pocket when you go walking.  This would make a great gift for a friend too.  It also comes with a clip to put in a door (if someone tries to come thru the door--the alarm will sound).  They can also be used to draw attention--if you get hurt or need help.  One of these could save your life.  They're great for college kids, or women who work or go out and around a lot.  It uses a 9 volt battery, not included.
