A lot of people see the ads for penny auction sites and imagine that this is a veritable gold mine that they can jump into and immediately enjoy success (after all – they think – it would sure be great to buy something such as a $500 iPad for only $5!), but one thing you need to realize before you commit to auctions on a penny auction site is that the website is making lots of money as well, and the way they do this is by scoring big off people who are wasting the bids they have bought!

Starting small is the first thing you will have to do if you want to win big on Beezid; too many people enter into auctions for big items with no real understanding of how these auctions work, and because of this, they end up donating their bids and coming away with nothing; until you have gotten to a place where you are consistently winning auctions for smaller items – and until you have gotten to a place where you have thousands of bids waiting to be used – you should not get tangled up in auctions for big items!

As you grow your knowledge on a site such as Beezid, you will also want to keep an eye out for others enough to know who you can push around and who you should avoid, as this will help you to gain a reputation of someone others should avoid; once you have built this reputation, you will win a lot more bids (for a lot less!), because the other big players will be happy to avoid you in the same way you avoid them, and the smaller players will back out of auctions more quickly when they realize who they are up against!

And finally, make sure you understand that there are certain times of day when it is better to use your bids; late at night, and during peak travel hours, you are going to run into a lot less competition, and it will be easier to pull down some big wins on big items.

Protect yourself on Beezid by starting small – and soon, you will be able to grow what you are doing until you are making more and more purchases for low dollar amounts!

Many people claim to be “afraid” of public speaking, but these people fail to realize that they are not so much frightened by public speaking itself as they are frightened by the unknown; if you have a situation coming up in which you will have to do some public speaking (either a presentation for work, a speech at a wedding, or just about anything else that requires you to stand in front of lots of people and give a prepared speech), you should know that it is actually quite easy to speak in front of people – as long as you know how to be a better public speaker!

One of the big things you want to realize when it comes to public speaking is that silence is a powerful tool that you can use to your advantage; understand the “power of pause,” as pausing will give people a moment to chew on what you just said, and will give you a moment to compose yourself before you continue forward.

It is also important that you make the beginning of your speech impactful; there is nothing worse than standing in front of a group of people and realizing that you have lost their attention, but when you lead off with something that is attention-grabbing and worth their time to listen (that is, not starting with pleasantries or with introducing yourself, but connecting with the audience right way), you will find that it is much easier for you to keep their attention throughout the duration of your speech.

And as you prepare for your speech, you will want to ask yourself the question “what’s my point,” as too many people stand up to speak in front of a group of people and try to hit on lots of different points, which leaves their audience remembering none, but when you have a single point and you stick with that point throughout your entire speech, you will be far more likely to make an impact on your audience’s thinking.

And in order to prepare for public speaking, the best thing of all you can do is to practice, practice, practice; the more you practice, the less “new” it will be when you have to stand up to speak, and the more comfortable you will feel!

Today’s world has brought us many different kinds of technology. All of this technology is constantly evolving into new and different products. Now all of these technologies are beginning to work together. Computers can connect with your music player and televisions can connect with them as well. One of the best pieces of technology in terms of their compatibility with other pieces is the iPhone.

There are many different ways in which iPhone are able to connect to other electronic devices. USB, infrared, and Bluetooth are three different technologies that allows the iPhone to team up with other devices. Well now your iPhone or iPod can help you to avoid costly speeding tickets. These devices team up with Cobra’s iRadar Radar Detector to give you radar protection while you are out on the road.

360 degree protection against both laser and radar systems is afforded by the Cobra iRadar radar detection system. It warns you of any upcoming speed traps with audible alerts. You also get some added benefits when pairing the device with an iPhone. The iCobra application just needs to be downloaded onto your phone. Cobra’s database is used by this application in order to give out alerts on known speed traps in your immediate area.

The radar detector can be set to two different running settings. These options consist of a highway and city mode. You can use these settings in order to drive in the city without the annoyance of constant false radar alarms. If you are driving on the highway though the detector can run at more sensitive settings for better protection. The iPhone app allows you to get access to more unique features only available through the application.

If this detector allows you to avoid even one speeding ticket it will pay for itself with much ease. Anyone who has gotten a speeding ticket can attest to the tremendous time it takes to resolve. Your driving record also becomes stained with them. If you get many of them they can also lead to a license suspension.

There are a lot of areas these days where the Internet has taken over, including some people’s jobs. One of the biggest ways in which this is true is through travel websites such as Expedia, Travelocity, and Orbitz, which help you book your hotel, airfare, and ground transportation, effectively doing the job that travel agents used to do. But in spite of how miraculous these travel websites can be, travel agents still have a place, and depending on your needs, their place might be right alongside you.

1) Packages: Many travel agencies put together packages themselves, which can include anything from the basics to the whole shebang. Some packages might even be as simple as a roundtrip ticket and lodging in an all-inclusive resort, where your food and drinks are included in the cost of the package. On the other hand, the travel agency might offer a trip that covers four cities in six days, with lodging and transportation taken care of all the way, and even with tours scheduled or other concessions made. Travel agencies are able to sell such packages for less money than you would be able to book the trips on your own, because they book this exact trip frequently and therefore are able to get certain discounts; furthermore, they can book these trips far more quickly than you could on your own!

2) Knowledge: Travel agencies are full of knowledge, which allows them to instruct you on the places you should visit and the places you should avoid. This can keep you from learning through trial and error, spending half your trip realizing that you are doing something you wish you hadn’t done. Because travel agencies deal with these places directly all the time, and because it is the business of travel agencies to be full of knowledge, they can tell you far more than you could learn even through extensive research.

3) That extra mile: One of the biggest ways by which travel agencies survive in a world where the Internet has largely taken over their business is by doing those things the Internet cannot do – going above and beyond what is expected, going that extra mile.

If you are booking a trip, it might in fact be best for you to go with an online travel website; but consider all your options first, because a real life travel agent just might make your entire experience that much better.

Many veterinarians are stopping the practice of declawing cats, so it is becomming more common to adopt cats with claws. If you are adopting a cat that either can’t or won’t be declawed, you do have a number of options available to you to keep them from destroying your furniture.

You could purchase some nail covers for your cat. These are little rubber covers that you glue on to their nails with super glue. These are completely humane and will fall off when the cat sheds that nail. Plan on re applying them once every three weeks or a month. The cats dont’ even really seem to notice them being on. The bonus is these come in a rainbow of colors so you can have a bit of fun with this too.

Another options is to get a scratching toy for them. There are some toys that are created with corrugated cardboard that has catnip embedded in it. Cats basically train themselves to use these cardboard scratching toys over your chairs because of the catnip. What makes these toys a great buy is you can replace the cardboard as it wears out and still have the original frame of the toy.

You will find the scratching post is a bit different then the scratching toy. Posts typically have a natural fiber such as hemp wrapped around it. You can curtail your cats using your furniture to scratch on by placing a post close by.  Cats love the texture of the heavy duity cords.  A bonus to the posts is they are very long lasting.

If you have the room you would also decide to get a carpeted cat playground. These are tall structures that are covered by carpets that are somewhat like a tree house. Cats love to climb, sleep, and play all over this type of toy. The down side is these can be on the expensive side and they do tend to take up a lot of room.

Don’t feel like you have to declaw your cat if you don’t want to. Often times if cats are given the option they can be trained to use these ideal things to scratch on. It may take a bit of persistence on your part, but it can certainly be done.
