Are you getting the most out of your ebooks?
Are you getting the most out of your ebooks?
by Jogena (c) copyright 2005
Caution! Handle with care! That ebook you just downloaded may be the next best thing to a winning lottery ticket.
Well... maybe I'm exaggerating a bit. O. K., a lot. But eBooks have become mainstream in the online world and they are great learning tools. Especially so for internet marketers
It seems that everyone is looking for the next big blockbuster ebook that's going to solve all their marketing and sales issues.
The problem is that many people don't take the time to read what they've already bought or downloaded for free. They skim the chapters looking for a silver bullet and when it doesn't jump out at them, they go buy or
download another.
The simple fact is that there is no silver bullet and learning what it takes to succeed online takes time and patience.
What you may not realize is that you may already have the answers you are seeking sitting on your hard drive right now.
If a sales page isn't performing as well as you like, take a few minutes to review that copywriting ebook you downloaded. If your traffic isn't where you want it, review the website promotion ebook you downloaded. You may find that you had "forgotten" or "didn't catch" a lot of what you needed to learn the first time you opened them.
So, before you jump to the next "best thing" in ebooks, take a little time to actually read what you already have.
You may even discover a few other uses for those ebooks as well. For instance, they can be great sources for article ideas, give you copywritng tips and be used as a resource for product creation.
But, whatever you do, keep on reading and learning!

National Treasure 2 - Book of Secrets (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)
National Treasure 2 - Book of Secrets (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)
Ben Gates (Nicolas Cage) sets out to find the lost 18 pages from the diary of Abraham Lincoln's assassin, John Wilkes Booth. One of the 18 missing pages has been discovered by Jeb Wilkinson (Ed Harris). On that page are the names of the Lincoln assassination conspirators. Thomas Gates, Ben Gates' great-great-grandfather, is listed on the page. After discovering this, Ben does not want Thomas Gates to be remembered "as a conspirator in the assassination of the man who brought this nation together." His quest to clear his family's name leads to unexpected twists and turns. Agent Sadusky (Harvey Keitel) tells Ben that a secret book has the information he needs. The president's "book of secrets" holds documents, for presidents' eyes only, of all the nations secrets; from the truth behind the JFK conspiracy, the missing minutes from the Watergate tapes, and Area 51. When Ben's request to see the book is denied, he says he must kidnap the president. Each clue leads him closer "to a discovery that the world isn't ready to believe."
Customer Review: Still Fun, But Not as Exciting
While delivering a presentation about his great-grandfather, Thomas Gates (Joel Gretsch) and his relationship to John Wilkes Booth and attempt to stop the assassination of President Lincoln, Ben Gates (Nicholas Cage) is challenged by a man, Mitch Wilkinson (Ed Harris), who claims to have a missing page from John Wilkes Booth's diary that suggests that Thomas Gates was actually one of the ring-leaders of Lincoln's assassination. In an attempt to prove his great-grandfather's innocence, Ben, Abigail (Diane Kruger), and Riley (Justin Bartha) begain a globetrotting adventure that takes them from Buckingham Palace to the Oval Office in the White House. Their journey ultimately leads Ben to "kidnapping" the President of the United States (Bruce Greenwood) and a perilous journey inside Mount Rushmore.
NATIONAL TREASURE: BOOK OF SECRETS is a fairly average action-adventure movie. Like the original movie, BOOK OF SECRETS boasts a decent mixture of actual history with tons of conspiracy theories to bolster an otherwise lackluster plot. However, there really isn't as much action as there was in the first movie. Things have been watered down, including the "villain", Mitch Wilkinson (Ed Harris). Harris' talents (as well as those of Jon Voight, Harvey Keitel, and Helen Mirren) are completely wasted in the movie, but so is his character. Wilkinson is intended to be an evil foil to Benjamin Gates, but instead by the end of the movie comes off as being a completely sympathetic person that was just trying to clear his family's name just like Ben is doing.
The strongest thing about the movie is the characters. It is true that Benjamin Gates and Riley Poole and the rest of the cast are basically cardboard figures. However, they are cardboard characters that the audience actually cares about, even without ever having seen NATIONAL TREASURE. Abigail is beautiful and throughout the movie the audience roots that the adventure will bring her and Ben back together; Riley Poole is adorable and the audience keeps hoping he will end up with a fraction of the success that Ben has; etc.
Overall, though NATIONAL TREASURE: BOOK OF SECRETS isn't a great action-adventure movie and at times struggles to build excitement, it is a decent yarn involving some lovable characters.
Customer Review: Great movie!
National Treasure 2 is one of my favorite movies. It has a perfect balance of action, story, and humor. I also really like all the historical details that were added in.
The only thing I didn't like about it (and this is a very minor flaw to the movie) is that Ben Gates extols Abraham Lincoln, calling him one of his favorite presidents. I am NOT racist by any stretch of the imagination, but I don't think the "Civil" war was fought solely over the issue of slavery. I think history shows us that Lincoln had an agenda to bring about a highly-centralized form of government that few of our founding fathers had. (On this topic, I would recommend "The War between the States: America's Uncivil War.) You can leave a comment on this review if you disagree with me and I'll try to answer your objections to the best of my ability.
Despite this, I give this movie five stars. I think this movie is comparable with the first National Treasure (see my review on that movie for more details).

Customer Review: Angel Sales I Sight Light
I was really disappointed in the quality of the Angel Sales I Sight Light. Granted, it only cost $12.95, but it only lasted one day. We were not rough on it and used it exactly the way it was meant to be used and yet it stopped working after a few uses. Don't waste your money.
Customer Review: great concept but..
I bought 2 of these to try out, because one spot light usually creates too much shadows when you are reading, and with this product ,one is not bright enough for reading.
The biggest problem when trying to buy LED lights is that they don't specify the brightness of the light like other types of illumination products, there are no units of Watts, Lux or even mcd number for this unit, even on the package, all it says " Powerful Ultra-Bright white lifetime LED" no way to compare to other LEDs out there in the effective brightness. Although I quick search on the internet showed that these small 5mm LEDs come in brightness ranging from 800 to over 30,000 mcd (millicandles), You don't have to care about this if all you need is a task light to work under the sink, but if you want to do some precisiong work then this becomes essential info.
This unit is VERY bright if you use it to see in pitch dark places (one unit is bright enough) if you want to use this to read in the dark, you will probably be better off using 2 units together, one on each ear, this way you have more light, less shadow and your eyes don't get tired fast.
I actually bought these to work on some precise lab work; I thought they would be lighter than the Halogen Headlamp I am currently using,
2 problems; these LEDs are not bright at all if you have ambient light. And the biggest weakness of this product is the EAR Ring,
It is made of Hard Stiff THIN plastic which makes it very uncomfortable after a while. Which I hope they'll fix in the future.
Also it is hard to adjust where the beam falls.
All in all, Great Flash light replacement, Nice reading light.
Stainless Steel Silver X-Claw w/ Stand
Stainless Steel Silver X-Claw w/ Stand
Hey bub, I go where I wanna go, and Get outta my way, are all things you'll be able to say just like Wolverine when your wielding a Silver X-Claw. We don't recommend you take on a pack of Sentinels with the Silver X-Claws, but do recommend showing them off to your friends. Constructed from stainless steel and sharpened to a razor sharp edge, handle wrapped in black leather for comfort. No knuckle guard has been added for hand protection, so caution is always advised. Sold individually with one plaque each.
Customer Review: Heavy
Made of good heavy material. You have to be careful not to hurt your knuckles.
Customer Review: Very Cool, Decorative Peice
Its everything you'd expect from the pictures, the claw looks very cool, And the wall mountable plaque makes for a interesting display piece. I did have two issues with the claw I received.
1. The Claw doesn't hang properly on the plaque,this problem bugged me the most. The Plaque has two hooks that hold the claw in place when it is hanging on the wall, Unfortunately the holes for the hooks weren't drilled properly on mine so the claw hangs to the left slightly and not straight down. Not that hard to fix though I just drilled a new hole and filled in the other with a black filler.
2. The Blades on the claw aren't all aligned evenly, the middle claw is slightly lower than the other two blades. Its barely noticeable and didn't ruin the claw for me. Even if all the X-Claws are like this I'd still recommend it, I seriously doubt most people would notice or even care.
1 and 2. Both of these from what I can tell are quality control issues, I doubt all the X-claws have these problems. But if you want to avoid them you'd have to buy it in person and inspect it before you buy it.
Now for my personal recommendations if your going to buy this. The Claw comes sharpened so be extremely careful, its not razor sharp but you should still use the same caution you'd use with any blades. Just holding it in your hand and you can feel the blunt ends of the blades press into the fleshy area between your knuckles. If your going to actually try to wield it you should wrap or tape up your hand with special attention to the areas between your knuckles. Seriously though this is obviously a novelty item and not meant for combat of any kind. If you get one make sure its just for display, and put it somewhere out of reach from children.
Overall I'd say it was worth the money
It's Time
It's Time
Michael Bublé's assured debut and the tireless year of globe-trotting touring he spent promoting it elevated the 20-something Vancouver native into the first rank of pop crooner revivalists. His sophomore studio follow-up largely turns on the same formula that helped make his considerable vocal prowess so attractive to mainstream audiences, mixing the nigh flawless, if expected Sinatra-channeling ("I've Got You Under My Skin") with more playful and inviting renditions of pop standards like the Gershwin's "A Foggy Day in London Town," "Feeling Good," "Try A Little Tenderness" and Cole Porter's "I've Got You Under My Skin." But it's the eclectic mix of more contemporary material the singer seasons them with -- apt tribute to Bublé hero Bobby Darin -- that keeps him walking the narrow tightrope between artistic intrigue (a blues-tinged vamp of Holland-Dozier-Holland's "How Sweet It Is," Leon Russell's lovely "Song For You," with a guest turn by Chris Botti) and the kitsch-laden abyss ("Quando, Quando, Quando"'s Euro-centric duet with Nelly Furtado, a ring-a-ding-fling with the Beatles' "Can't Buy Me Love" that echoes fellow Canadian crooner/rival Matt Dusk's more successful flirtation with Lennon-McCartney). Arranger/producer Tommy LiPuma offers Bublé a welcome swinging jazz showcase on "The More I See of You," a bracing respite from the rest of producer David Foster's slick, if typically bloodless MOR production. -- Jerry McCulley [Note: A special edition including two bonus tracks--"Dream a Little Dream" and "Mack the Knife"--is also available.]

Customer Review: Call Me Irresponsible by Michael Buble, CD
Wonderful singer! I love it that he mainly sticks to the old classics, Sinatra tunes in particular. Buble even sounds like Sinatra in some songs. Anyway, love his choice of music, plus he's always got a great orchestra behind him. Quality CD!
Customer Review: Great!
I love this cd, I love the mood that it creates, as you can just kick back, and take a breather, sitting around the fire, or cooking a meal, just soothing music... just wonderful.

Seriously though this is obviously a novelty item and not meant for combat of any kind. If you get one make sure its just for display, and put it somewhere out of reach from children.
Overall I'd say it was worth the money

Michael Bublé's assured debut and the tireless year of globe-trotting touring he spent promoting it elevated the 20-something Vancouver native into the first rank of pop crooner revivalists. His sophomore studio follow-up largely turns on the same formula that helped make his considerable vocal prowess so attractive to mainstream audiences, mixing the nigh flawless, if expected Sinatra-channeling ("I've Got You Under My Skin") with more playful and inviting renditions of pop standards like the Gershwin's "A Foggy Day in London Town," "Feeling Good," "Try A Little Tenderness" and Cole Porter's "I've Got You Under My Skin." But it's the eclectic mix of more contemporary material the singer seasons them with -- apt tribute to Bublé hero Bobby Darin -- that keeps him walking the narrow tightrope between artistic intrigue (a blues-tinged vamp of Holland-Dozier-Holland's "How Sweet It Is," Leon Russell's lovely "Song For You," with a guest turn by Chris Botti) and the kitsch-laden abyss ("Quando, Quando, Quando"'s Euro-centric duet with Nelly Furtado, a ring-a-ding-fling with the Beatles' "Can't Buy Me Love" that echoes fellow Canadian crooner/rival Matt Dusk's more successful flirtation with Lennon-McCartney). Arranger/producer Tommy LiPuma offers Bublé a welcome swinging jazz showcase on "The More I See of You," a bracing respite from the rest of producer David Foster's slick, if typically bloodless MOR production. -- Jerry McCulley [Note: A special edition including two bonus tracks--"Dream a Little Dream" and "Mack the Knife"--is also available.]

Customer Review: Call Me Irresponsible by Michael Buble, CD
Wonderful singer! I love it that he mainly sticks to the old classics, Sinatra tunes in particular. Buble even sounds like Sinatra in some songs. Anyway, love his choice of music, plus he's always got a great orchestra behind him. Quality CD!
Customer Review: Great!
I love this cd, I love the mood that it creates, as you can just kick back, and take a breather, sitting around the fire, or cooking a meal, just soothing music... just wonderful.
