Ken Pontac

What is your name and your current occupation?
Ken Pontac, animation writer.

What are some of the crazier jobs you had before getting into animation?I was a bartender in a place called Roxanne’s in Arcadia, California.  The guzzlery had gone through several incarnations before I worked there, when the new owner decided to make it a “New Wave” bar (whatever the hell that means). He had a big screen that played an Abba laserdisc on endless rotation and he made me dress as a clown while I poured beer and wine.  Roxanne’s had been a motercycle bar in its previous life and on opening day a pack of bikers came in, happy to see that their old watering hole was back in business.  They were the funniest bikers I’d ever seen, right out of Central Casting: furry vests and Prussian helmets and studded leather everywhere.  They were like Get Smart bikers, and they came to the place every night. On New Years Eve I was dancing on the hood of my Gremlin in a jester suit, holding a sign that said “DRINK HERE!” A couple of cute girls pulled up and decided that they’d get the jester drunk, and they escorted me to the bar (somebody else was pouring that night).  As midnight approached I had a babe on each arm, both holding a bottle of bubbly that they were pouring down my throat. The place was raucous and throbbing, full of high-volume Abba and drunken bikers and yuppie art students.  In the midst of this bacchanal scene felt a sudden visceral compulsion to escape.  I didn’t want to be in that bar at midnight, so I mumbled my apologies to the ladies and staggered out to my car. I weaved my Gremlin down the street for a couple of blocks before I decided I was too drunk to drive and pulled over to pass out.  I woke up some time later and made my way to my pal’s house, where a party was still in progress.  “There’s Ken!” was the last thing I heard before I toppled face down at the doorway.  I woke up on the floor the next morning with a hangover and a dog licking the greasepaint from my face.  This was ten years before the movie “Shakes the Clown” came out, so I consider myself something of a trailblazer.  I found out the next morning that a couple of the bikers had taken out their pieces at midnight and shot up the joint, so chalk one up for visceral compulsion!

What are some of your favorite projects you’re proud to have been a part of?
Creating, producing and directing my own show, Bump in the Night was a childhood dream come true.  My mom called me the morning it aired and said, “Jesus, Ken, you’ve been drawing that thing since you were eight years old!” I (rather ungraciously) reminded her that in my youth she had admonished me to draw something nice instead of drawing monsters all the time (the star of the series, Mr. Bumpy, was a warty green monster who lived under the bed). Working on Happy Tree Friends resulted in some of the most painful laugh-cramps I’ve ever experienced (which seems very appropriate, pain-wise), and kids around the world are familiar with the show. HTF creators Rhode Montijo and Kenn Navarro are amazing guys, and I’m grateful they’ve allowed me to play in their sandbox for as long as I have. Going to Iceland to work on LazyTown was a crazy adventure, and while I was there I wrote a song called “You Are A Pirate” that’s become a huge meme on the Internets.

How did you become interested in animation?I watched cartoons obsessively as a kid and after I made my first stop-motion film and actually saw things coming alive because I touched them I was hooked.

Where are you from and how did you get into the animation business?
I’m from the San Fernando Valley, so I should actually be in the PORN business (it’s the porn capital of the world, in case your readers are confused).  I got into the animation business doing motion graphics in the Hollywood effects houses that were around in the 80’s (I have very little memory of those times).  My big break came when I show Art Clokey, the creator of Gumby, a clay animation film I made at Art Center with two pals (David Ichioka and Kevin Mack).  One thing led to another and I became the art director for the new Gumby series that was produced in the 80’s.

What’s a typical day like for you with regards to your job?
There honestly isn’t such a thing as a typical day. As a contract writer I could be working on multiple projects in a single week or waiting for the phone to ring wondering what my next gig might be. I pretty decide my own hours and as long as I make my deadlines nobody cares how much I goof off.  Last month I worked on a job where I had to read thousands of pages of comic books over a month-long period as research, while simultaneously developing a Chinese puppet show into a pre-school series, as well as coming up with pitches and scripts for two new action/adventure series.  All that work really cut into my Facebook time!

What part of your job do you like best? Why?
I love the autonomy I described in the last answer, and I love the actual process of writing.  It doesn’t matter if it’s a pre-school show or an adult-rated videogame like MadWorld, there’s always a point where a character will say or do something that makes me laugh out loud. Sometimes when I’m laughing at a character’s quip I’ll think, “I wish I’d thought of that.”  And then I realize that of course I did think of it!  That moment is the best part of the job. Although maybe getting a letter from a fan telling me that something I wrote changed their lives is what I like the best. No, wait!  Getting paid!  Getting paid is the best!

What part of your job do you like least? Why?
A writer should never have to wait longer for notes than the amount of time it took to do the work.  If the notes are stupid that’s worse.  If the deadline is unreasonable that’s even worse.

What is the most difficult part for you about being in the business?
Working at home I miss the human interactions that occur in the creative crucible of a production studio. Also, as a contract writer, there’s a certain amount of hustling required to keep the paychecks flowing.  It helps to have an agent, but I spend a lot of time chasing down gigs.

What kind of technology do you work with on a daily basis?MacBook Pro running Word or Final Draft, an iPod full of movie soundtracks, and a Krups coffee maker.

In your travels, have you had any brushes with animation greatness?
Plenty, but I don’t like to drop names.

Describe a tough situation you had in life.
My earliest memory goes back to when I was around two or three years old.  It was breakfast time, and my sister (who was about five or six) and I were sitting at the kitchen table eating cold cereal.  My mother was talking to my grandmother on the phone, which was located on the wall next to the stove.  On the stove a teakettle was just beginning to boil.  It was early, and my mother was still in her nightgown, a thin garment of some kind of 50’s miracle-fiber: nylon or rayon, probably.  All in all it was a peaceful domestic scene.  Captain Kangaroo would be on TV soon.  I happily brought another spoonful of soggy cereal to my mouth. In the next instant, my mother was a blazing human torch!  While leaning against the stove, her nightgown had brushed against the burner and the flames had climbed up her back from her waist to her shoulders.  She dropped the phone and jumped around the kitchen, burning and screaming.  All my sister and I could do was scream along with her. My mother might have burned to death in front of us if my father hadn’t been home sick with the mumps.  When a grown man gets the mumps it goes down into his balls and they swell up and ache with a dull steady pain.  Any movement makes them throb.  My father’s balls must have been throbbing pretty good after he jumped out of bed with the blankets in his hands and ran to the kitchen.  He wrapped my mother in the blankets and smothered the flames.  With us kids still screaming and crying, he whisked my mother out of the house and into the hospital.  I didn’t see my mother for a couple of days after that, and I’ve never seen her bare back since.  I guess it’s scarred pretty badly. I told this story years later in the writer’s room at Happy Tree Friends and it became the basis of the episode “Who’s To Flame.”

Any side projects you’re working on you’d like to share details of?
I’m working on a Young Adult fantasy novel that contains some of the best writing I’ve done.

Is there any advice you can give for an aspiring animation student or artist trying to break into the business
The most important thing I would say is to reach out to others who inspire you.  If there’s a writer you like, or an artist, or filmmaker or whatever whose work has touched you seek them out and contact them.  And by “contact them” I don’t mean “stalk their ass.”  If you don’t know the difference between those two things you probably shouldn’t contact them.  Almost every major good thing in my career has come from me taking the initiative to reach out to someone who didn’t even know I existed.  I wrote a fan letter to the creators of Happy Tree Friends and it turned out that they were fans of some of my work.  One thing led to another and I ended up working on the series.  This sort of thing can only happen if you take the first step.  99% of the time you’ll never hear back, but that 1% can be life-changing.  I welcome anybody reading this to contact me (just Google my name and see if you can figure out how; social networking makes it easy).  Don’t just send a friend request with no message, take a few lines to introduce yourself and explain why you initiated contact.  The rest will happen or it won’t.

Did Michigan's Mark Ortmann strike Illinois' Corey Liuget?

By Dave Birkett

If precedent holds, Michigan might be without starting left tackle Mark Ortmann for its last best chance to qualify for a bowl game Saturday against Purdue.

Ortmann appeared to strike Illinois defensive tackle Corey Liuget in the midsection after Liuget recovered a Tate Forcier fumble early in the fourth quarter of Michigan’s 38-13 loss to the Illini.

Ortmann was on his knees next to Forcier when Liuget came up with the loose ball. Liuget walked into Ortmann, stood over him pointing in celebration, and Ortmann appeared to jab Liuget with his left fist.

Replays did not show where or if the punch landed - Ortmann’s helmet was in the way - but Liuget complained to an official after the play and walked hunched over to the Illinois sideline.

Earlier this year, linebacker Jonas Mouton was suspended one game by the Big Ten for violating the league’s sportsmanlike conduct policy after he struck Notre Dame center Eric Olsen under the helmet.

As with the Ortmann incident, no penalty was called on Mouton’s play.

The conference also suspended Purdue lineman Zach Reckman for striking a Northern Illinois player in a non-football manner earlier this year.

A Michigan spokesperson said coach Rich Rodriguez would have to review the tape before making any comment.

The Big Ten did not have any immediate comment.

Michigan (5-4, 0-4) needs one win to qualify for the postseason, and closes the season at Wisconsin and home against Ohio State.

Purdue is 3-6 overall, 2-3 in conference play.

Look at the video again. Liuget celebrated by walking right up to Ortmann and shoving his crotch is Ortmann's face blatantly, at least twice. Why don't you report on that Birkett? If I was Ortmann, I would have shoved back too, and if I shoved Liuget in his manhood, then he'd deserve it. While were on the topic of negative reporting, take a look at the 4th and goal touchdown that was overturned. Review all the video. It looks to me like the ball came out just before Minor's elbow hit. It then flipped forward loose, and was recovered in the end zone by a Michigan player -- Schilling maybe?? As a Michigan fan reading an Ann Arbor based web publication, I'd much prefer to read about how the unsportsman-like action of the opposing player provoked a reaction from ours, or how the officiating crew overturned a touchdown on review, but didn't watch enough tape or somehow otherwise missed the fumble for a recovery which would have been a touchdown. I may have to add back onto my no read list.

Mon, Nov 2, 2009 : 3:53 p.m.

Please BOYCOTT reading any of Dave Birkett's "reporting"! Why? Birkett's job is to report the news. Only if the Illini or Michigan or the Big Ten Conference actually do something should Birkett write a report. That's the job of a reporter. A true and bonafide reporter has NO bias. S/he does not place a spotlight on ambiguous evidence (was Ortmann's an open hand that pushed back for balance? or was it a closed fist?) and then use a questoin (presumably to mask the reporters bias)as a headline. A true and bonafide reporter does RESEARCH with the evidence to determine facts that s/he then repots. Birkett, do you understand how you're supposed to do your job?!? No matter. I for one will not return to read any of your writings (I still SUPPORT Ann, however, b/c one "reporter" doesn't make the whole bunch bad) b/c to do so only gives your advertisers more reason to continue to financially support you as a writer. I implore all true Michigan fans to boycott reading any of Birkett's writings. Go Blue (for better or worse)! BTW, the policy for commenting on prohibits the excessive use of caps-locked words -- I've been told that more than 3-4 words caps-locked and full sentences caps-locked will cause a particular post to be removed.

Mon, Nov 2, 2009 : 3:51 p.m.

Chosen1: My mistake, you are right. Corey did play for Cinci. Too Funny. The N word came from an interview on Rivals Radio. One thing I might add, When Legarrette through the punch at least he made it count. That punch by ortmann looked like something my 13 daughter would throw. Yes, the B10 commissioner will once again overrule RR.

Mon, Nov 2, 2009 : 2:28 p.m.

rightmind, First of all its LeGarrette Blount, corey blount played basketball at cincy in the 90's. 2ndly, where is this "n-word" allegation coming from? In all the interviews on espn blount never alleged this. Blount was talking trash in the preseason about whooping boise state for last year. I doubt that if the kid used the n-word with his coach and 2 black teammates standing right there with him that he would still be on the team. Birkett is an entertaining writer here. And even espn covered the Brandon Spikes eye gouge before there was an announcement of a suspension. Birkett isnt snitching on u of m....U don't think zook took note of that yesterday in film session and sent it in himself? Its funny when writers write articles we disagree with call for their jobs or threaten to boycott them. The more I read on here, the more I see why the state of michigan is falling behind the rest of the nation.

Mon, Nov 2, 2009 : 1:16 p.m.

Provoked? Thats one of the best excuses yet. Ask Corey Blount at Oregon about being provoked. The guy from Boise called him the "N" word and rightfully got decked for it. Corey, a senior like Ortmann, lost his eligibility for the year. I didn't see the Illinois guy get in Ortmann's face. He is NOT eligible for the Perdue game.

Mon, Nov 2, 2009 : 11:05 a.m.

Please, do not fire RR. I repeat please keep him at UM. Brian Kelly will be available at the end of the year. I would hate to see him go to UM. I would rather see him at ND. Brian Kelly is the real deal. Wherever he ends up, they definately got the best coach available.

Mon, Nov 2, 2009 : 9:51 a.m.

Poor Ole RR, its all about "kharma"!!! Send him back to WV we'll take him,,,,NOT! His house has been for sale since he left and he couldn't give it away. Maybe UM can move his house to Michigan so he can sell it... Where does everyone think ole RR will end up after this year? My vote is a high school in Montana....LMAO

Mon, Nov 2, 2009 : 9:40 a.m.

How can ANYONE say we will beat Purdue????? With our defense we will not win another game. I have attende UM games since I was carried into the stadium. Season tickets since 1966. Never.....NEVER have I seen a worse team on that field. Change needs to be made NOW.

Mon, Nov 2, 2009 : 9:15 a.m.

It is pretty obvious what happened. The Michigan player was just totally frustrated, as many of us are. We will still beat Purdue, but the trip up to Madison is starting to look real bad. Bucky will be pumped and sky high after 2008.

Man in the Mirror

Mon, Nov 2, 2009 : 9:11 a.m.

It was clearly a punch to the groinal area. Watch how his elbow comes back and then up into the groin. No, this is not powderpuff football, and no, I did not see him really celebrating nor taunting. He was merely holding the ball into the air. So you could not even say he was trying to knock the ball loose. This is a bad year for strikers and getting caught on tape. Sure things happen in pile ups from little league football through proffessional ball, but to blatanly sock someone on national tv anywhere on the body is a lack of self control and discipline.

Mon, Nov 2, 2009 : 8:53 a.m.

Do you people forget coaches coach and players play its a 50-50 street RR can only do so much befor his players have to step up..I look at what RR had when he came in its like asking someone to bulid you a house with no wood no hammers then come back awhile later and be like weres my house? Its just not gonna happen im sure the real fans seen the mblog post about our D, we all need to thank the great LC for not recruiting from 2005(when he still was firmly our coach) to 2008 when RR got i said befor its 1 giant crap storm all put together and here we are now And its all RR "fault" its not the HORRIBLE team he got passed onto him its not the young players not executing its not the undersized D LC left us its all RR yup i see it now RR ur at fault for it all boy! Child Plz

Mon, Nov 2, 2009 : 8:25 a.m.

tater, there's a difference between balancing oneself and throwing a punch. If he threw a punch he needs to suspended just like Mouton. NO double standards here.

Mon, Nov 2, 2009 : 8:21 a.m.

Tater, what would your opinion on this matter be if the michigan player were the one celebrating and was punched???? seeing most of your posts i would assume you would be screaming for the opposition team to suspend or kick the guy off the team. People would be calling the kid a coward, a girl for a low blow shot. Lets call it what it is. Ortmann reacted and lost his temper and hit the kid. Cheap shot deserves a game off

Mon, Nov 2, 2009 : 8:18 a.m.

Here's some advice for Rich....suspend him for the game before the big 10 commish gets the chance to rub salt in our wounds again. Don't deny or justify, simply put him on the bench for a half or a game, but heaven's sake we dont need the commish rubbing it in our face that our coach is a moron again

Mon, Nov 2, 2009 : 5:47 a.m.

1block heres your example for blaming coaching the team is NOT improving they are getting worse as the season progresses watch the games look at the stats they dont lie most teams at this point have progressed NOT this 1 BRIAN KELLY NOW NOW NOW!!!!

Mon, Nov 2, 2009 : 5:46 a.m.

1block heres your example for blaming coaching the team is NOT improving they are getting worse as the season progresses watch the games look at the stats they dont lie most teams at this point have progressed NOT this 1 BRIAN KELLY NOW NOW NOW!!!!

Mon, Nov 2, 2009 : 5:28 a.m.

For you M fans who keep using the excuse that M has a lot of young players. At this point in the season, that excuse does not hold water. These players have nine games under their belt. The problem is, M built its early wins on games that should have been left to AA ball and so we got a false sense of hope. If you go back and research some of the earlier comments, this exact same thing was predicted to happen when M reached Big Ten play by some of us. Tate Forcier is at best a Division AA QB. Part of his game is predicated on running but he suffers from the McGuffie syndrome and cannot take big hits. So, he is now becoming a one dimensional player; M Defense is too small for the Big Ten. This is not Big East Ball; Their running backs are too small and prone to injuries; and, quite frankly, I do not see the work of an offensive genius nor do I see the results of the master conditioner as Barwic was built up to be. M's defense looks tired too often. One interesting observation I would like to make. The announcers are so pro M that when M had that first drive, they had already begun to castigate Illinois. But as the game turned, they didn't know what to say so they said a bunch of mush. We can do away with these announcers who don't know as much about the game as many of us.

Mon, Nov 2, 2009 : 2:49 a.m.

other teams in the Big Ten are so Happy that dick rod is Coaching @ Michigan cause they can beat Michigan Purdue is gonna beat us & they gonna have fun with are walk on Defense Key word walk on cause other teams walk into the endzone like they playing to hand touch. # 32 on are D is a walk on who don't need to be on the Team let alone the Game

Mon, Nov 2, 2009 : 1:25 a.m.

Give me a break. The Illinois guy was taunting. He got exactly what he deserved. Illinois should have picked up the ball and headed to the sideline. I don't want a bunch of softies that are going to left another team intimidate them. Liuget continued to play so there was definately a lot of acting on his way to the sideline Roedel. This is big ten football not powderpuff ball.

Sun, Nov 1, 2009 : 11:35 p.m.

Exactly,turnovers is apart of every program.My only concern with RR is he hasn't proven he can coach the players he have!Meaning,when you play a certain type of team and the spread ain't working,he doesn't seem to understand that there is OTHER ways to win a game!Against Toledo season,you mean to tell me we couldn't line up in a power-I and blow them out of the Big House!?We take an L because he doesn't want or know how to adapt!C'mon.That still burns me up.But until he proves he can COACH players he has,I will always wonder about his skills as a coach.And every coach in the league will say,yeah if I had that recruit or this recruit,we will win but when you,ve got or HAD talent,prove that you can win with them.Find away to win!That's it......just FIND AWAY!!!

Sun, Nov 1, 2009 : 11:22 p.m.

Ya know the "young player" argument is getting old. You will always have turnover, you will never get all the players you want, so you work with it and try to win. If and when RR is gone, I will bet most of the defenders will be the first to throw him under the bus. Again the mission is "win and no excuses" because there really are none, only errors in management.

Sun, Nov 1, 2009 : 11:11 p.m.

AZWolverine: You're right that RR is a college coach at a public university making a LOT of money so you have the right to critisize him if you wish. I'm guessing you used to pay Michigan taxes or went to school at UofM so I'll count that as your right. Anyway, I would disagree that mental mistakes with a team that is 80% freshman and sophomores are coaching errors. Is that your only example? Can you be more specific how that is related to coaching? Anyway, not on here to argue... just looking for your best examples of big coaching mistakes. To me, the bulk of the problem is w/ the young players (talent, effort, experience, etc) Even if they were coaching errors, I'd give the guy at least 3-4 years to have his shot. Also, when I'm at the games and I hear arrogant people yelling at RR the SECOND something bad happens, many times before halftime even, it bothers me - maybe this is just reminding me of that and not your specific comment...

Sun, Nov 1, 2009 : 10:53 p.m.

The last time RR just blew if off and the NCAA than came in and suspended the player. May be if RR takes a pro active step like not allowing Ortmann to start the game and have him publicly apologize, than the NCAA may not override RR and suspend Ortmann for the Purdue game. Worth a try! but I can see how Ortmann was provoked by Liuget celebrating on top of him!

Sun, Nov 1, 2009 : 10:29 p.m.

Hey Marineblue,life is not just POSITIVE!That can't be all that you see in life.As long as the comments are constructive and for the betterment of Michigan,ANYONE can voice their oppinions on this site!We all don't just BLINDLY follow orders(as your name suggest you do).If you believe something ain't right and can show evidence that support for your theory,SPEAK ON IT!!(nobody will make you do 100 push-ups.I promise!!)Good luck next week and as always,GO BLUE!!!

Sun, Nov 1, 2009 : 10:20 p.m.

Looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, we will know soon but if proven this is U of Miami stuff.

Sun, Nov 1, 2009 : 9:41 p.m.

Same people with the same comments. Any more original thoughts from you guys?

Sun, Nov 1, 2009 : 9:10 p.m.

Nothing like ratting on the home team. Guys Watergate was 25 years ago time to move and report the news NOT make it!

Sun, Nov 1, 2009 : 9:01 p.m.

1block, What I see happening on the field, and what has now happened for two straight seasons, is that Michigan lacks discipline and mental toughness. When things go wrong, they snowball rather than bouncing back from adversity. That is a coaching issue. As for fans faulting RR when Michigan is losing, fans also praised him when we were winning. Funny thing. The reason? Coaches are ultimitely accountable for how well their team performs on the field...and at 2.5 million dollars per year, he better be.

Sun, Nov 1, 2009 : 8:43 p.m.

I think it's interesting when Michigan loses a couple in a row it's Rich Rod's fault. Where were those people when we were 4-0? They were quiet. I've been a michigan football fan since I was 4yrs old, but we have some of the worst fans in sports. Point is, Michigan is NOT a good team this year. A lot of the bad plays have nothing to do w/ coaching. When people come on here and say negative things about Rich Rod it would help me to understand if they used on the field examples of how he's driving the team in the wrong direction. I'm no expert, but I just don't see it.... Ohh and to comment on the hit - if they don't have film of it happening - IT DIDN'T HAPPEN! Rich Rod should punish the guy in practice and make his life hell (I'm assuming he did it - common sense would say he did), but if the Big10 comes in and suspends him for something they can't prove, that's going to cause some major waves...

Sun, Nov 1, 2009 : 8:35 p.m.

No, Michigan does no wrong under RR...that's why Illinois bombarded us 38-13.

Blue in the 614

Sun, Nov 1, 2009 : 8:13 p.m.

There is a big difference between trying to balance yourself and throwing a left jab to the groin, as this video seems to indicate.

Kaleb Roedel

Sun, Nov 1, 2009 : 7:33 p.m.

I was wondering what Liuget's waddling jaunt to the sidelines was all about. Ortmann clearly packed a good gut-punch. Sums up the Wolverines' poor reactions to adversity of late.

CD Review: Monuments-Gnosis(2012)

(From band's bio)

The day has finally come for MONUMENTS. The line up is complete, their debut album “Gnosis” is ready to be unleashed and the London-based pro groove metal quintet has assembled their arsenal ready to challenge the way you look at the world.

This has the typical breaks in the music that you get from allot of younger generation bands that play the nu-metal. Korn started the trend but quite honestly I find that I really do like this album all that being said it does grow on you.
They break up the singing as well clear vocals quickly turn into a scream but that is that type of metal and I like all musically and vocally what is happening here.

"The Collective" is a very aggressive song and man it kicks ass.
This is a good album and if you like heavy metal, check this out!

From Band's Bio

The result is “Gnosis” – nine tracks of thoroughly modern progressive metal that has as many hooks asit does important political messages. The title refers to a higher level of spiritual understanding where one stops to answer the questions about one’s existence rather than ignoring the issues and simply following the crowd. The message is distilled to its essence in “Doxa”. The message is simple: don’t believe everything you’re told; think for yourself.

Movie Review: AE:Apocalypse Earth(Released May 28th, 2013)The Asylum

There are those films that are way over promoted and by the time you get around to seeing them you are disappointed -this is the exact opposite of that on all counts.
The Asylum being such a small studio they do not have the money to hype as major studios do, so I will some here.
When earth is being attacked(the reason is never explained)but Lt. Frank Baum(Adrian Paul-Highlander TV Series 1992-1998)leads the charge in getting people off this rock.
The special effects are decent in this film but what helps the most for the film is the strong score by Chris Ridenhour it has all the elements needed to help push the film along.I had a chance to ask Chris what his inspirations for the score and who his inspirations are, he kindly responded with this:
As far as inspiration, Thunder Levin(Writer & Director)and I are big Jerry Goldsmith fans. I also love Basil Poledouris, big bold, epic themes with alot of heart.
In this score I have a theme for every character and develop them throughout. Thunder was very much a part of keeping the score on track with his vision.

Minus some of the shots in the film like a lengthy walk by a river and some rather weak performances this film is one of the better Sci-Fi films I have seen in a while. After crash landing on another planet they come into contact with other beings and creatures of different sizes, they are not friendly(of course)
Capt. Sam Crowe(Richard Grieco-21 Jump Street & Veronica Mars)is more like the Chewbacca of the crew his hair is a mess and  he has very few speaking lines a number of shots of his face and him saying nothing.

Tim(Gray Hawks-left standing)is a cyborg computer who looks like he should work for Data from Star Trek or Computer Geeks whichever he might have the joy of doing.
From what I am reading with the other reviews on IMDB I am alone on this view of this film but that is usually the way it goes for me anyways.
I was entertained and even though there were simular events and aliens used(Predator cloaking)this was an enjoyable bit of time spent.

Thank you for reading this

    how do viruses add their code to an exe file?

    I've always wondered how viruses can add their code to an exe file,i mean,when a virus is running,it itself is an exe how does it add its code to another exe file?at the time a virus is running,its code is in binary can you program a virus to add its binary code to another exe file?from the research i've done about it,it has something to do with the headers of an exe file?

    Pick a small .exe file and copy it as a .txt file, then open it in will see that it is NOT binary.

    The viral code just adds itself to the .exe and gets run as part of that set of program instructions, just as if you wrote a program then added some intructions later on to make it do things differently from, or as well as, the original program.

    Remember that a lot of older .exe/.com viruses just deleted an existing program and renamed themselves as that program, so when it was called, the virus not the genuine program got launched...............AVs would report them as "uncleanable" because the program was now pure virus code.

    Hope that helps

MBL Lectures

Ritterhof courtyard, Weingut Fitz-Ritter, Bad Dürkheim, Pfalz (founded 1785), watercolor and ink 1984

We summer in Woods Hole (when our house is not rented, which is most of the summer) and occasionally can go to one of the Friday night public science lectures at the Marine Biological Laboratory, the world-famous research facility in Woods Hole. It is a magnificent privilege to hear and see world-class scientists give beautiful slide lectures on fascinating, cutting-edge science.

On occasion, when the lecture is particularly clear and my brain is fresh, I can go home and write down the gist of the lecture. So since I haven’t posted anything for almost a month, I dug up one of these writeups.

The lecturer, a famous Chinese neuroscientist Mu-Ming Poo, around 70, spoke on neural plasticity.

He started with a much-cited quote by the famous neuroscientist Donald Hebb, to the effect that neurons that fire together wire together, forming more or less permanent circuits – i.e. memories. This is a qualitative statement; Poo and his colleagues sought to explore it quantitatively.

He asked how close together in time the two firings had to be in order to create a memory. He found that the window generally was 40 milliseconds wide, with exceptions in certain animals. He also asked whether the sequence mattered (i.e. what happened if the second neuron fired before the first one), and he found that when the sequence was reversed, exactly the opposite effect occurred: the two neurons became less likely to fire together than previously.

Background: neurons collect inputs from “dendrites”, sum them in complicated ways, and if the incoming stimulus is sufficient, they fire. The electrical signal runs rapidly down the cell’s axon (at about 45 mph), which is the long “wire” that carries the electrical charge from the cell to the other cells to which it is connected, when the cell fires. During development, each neuron seeks out and finds the neurons in the part of the brain to which it “should” be connected. Retinal cells connect via intermediate links to cells in the visual cortex, which in humans is located at the back of the brain (“cortex” is the thin grey-colored coating of neurons on the outer surface of the convoluted brain). Back to the lecture.

To understand why the 40 millisecond window is adaptive, imagine a row of adjacent retinal cells. Each retinal cell connects with a large number of cortical cells in the visual cortex that are adjacent to one another. Call the retinal cells “A” and the cortical cells “B.” This means that each B cell receives inputs from a lot of A cells. So the image created by one A cell is spread out and blurred in the visual cortex.

The goal is to create a sharply focused “map” on the visual cortex that matches the image falling on the retina. To accomplish this, the brain needs to prune away connections between A cells and distant B cells, and strengthen connections between A cells and B cells that are close together.

Imagine a moving spot falling on the retina and hitting one A cell. The A cell will fire and cause all the B cells to which it is connected to fire. Since the B cells fire together within the 40 millisecond window, with the A cell firing first, the connections are strengthened. Now the spot moves to the next A cell (it is moving fast). Again the A cell sets off all the B cells to which it is connected. But some of these will already have fired during the previous 40 millisecond window mentioned above. In those cases, the B cell has fired before the A cell, which weakens the connection. Over many occurrences, this process sharpens the map in the visual cortex.

In the second example of neural plasticity, he explored how mature neurons in a frog’s brain form short term memory by training a string of neurons to fire in sequence. Remarkably, there are instruments that can probe individual neurons in a living animal brain, as well as a brain in a petri dish (in vitro – glass – as opposed to in vivo – life). First the investigators associated neurons in the retina with the corresponding neurons in the visual cortex. Then they passed a moving spot over the retinal cells and noted that the cortical cells lit up one after the other.

After doing this many times, training the cells, they then stimulated just the first retinal cell, which caused the string of cells in the visual cortex to fire one after the other. The neurons had learned that the spot moves on this particular track  (this is short term memory, lasting only about 10 minutes). When they stimulated the last cell in the sequence, nothing happened. They then stimulated the cortical cells directly, and the same thing happened, showing that it was the cortical neurons that learned and not the retinal cells.

In a third demonstration, they found that cells in a zebra-fish could remember the timing between sequential stimuli. This became evident because if they stimulated the cells five times or more, the cells fired one more time after the stimulus was removed at exactly the same interval as the initial sequence. This occurred at intervals up to about 10 seconds. The larger the number of sequential stimuli the more firings occurred after the stimuli stopped, but only up to 3 repetitions. He showed a movie in which the stimuli caused the tail of the fish to twitch to the side (an escape behavior), and sure enough, after the stimuli ceased, the tail twitched twice at exactly the same interval as the stimuli.

Finally, it was believed that only humans and some apes could recognize themselves in a mirror and that monkeys could not. He experimented with Rhesus monkeys. If you paint a spot on the monkey’s face (or even shine a light at the spot so he doesn’t feel anything) he ignores it when looking in the mirror, showing that he is not aware that the image is of himself.

So Poo did a clever thing: he applied the spot in a way that irritated the same location on the monkey’s face, which caused the monkey to reach up and touch the spot. By doing this many times, he trained the monkey to associate the two spots and thereby become aware that the image in the mirror was himself. Once they learned this (2 out of 3 could do so) they took advantage of their new skill by examining parts of themselves that they couldn’t see (their bottoms). It was hilarious to see the contortions they went into in order to inspect their nether regions.

Symbolism – Part One

Lago de Garda, 1968
Lago de Garda, 1968

The subject of symbolism has intrigued me for 60 years. I am not talking about symbols like the Christian cross or a national flag, but about the symbolism of language and mathematics, and how this applies to art.

I was strongly influenced by two books by the aesthetician Suzanne K. Langer, “Feeling and Form” and “Philosophy in a New Key,” both of which were published around the time I was in college. She had an unusually practical mind, and at the same time had a deep understanding of all the (fine) arts, not just easel painting, so often the sole focus of aestheticians.

Langer developed her aesthetic theory out of earlier work on symbolic logic, a field developed by the great logicians of the late 19th and early 20th Centuries and one very fresh and vital at the time she wrote. She was strongly influenced by Alfred North Whitehead, who along with Bertrand Russell prepared much of the foundation for symbolic logic. Both symbolic logic and mathematics are precise formalizations of discursive language (the language of statements), and language is universally acknowledged to be the quintessential example of symbolism (Langer’s lucid writing made her little book ”Symbolic Logic” close to a page-turner).

Symbols point to things: naming is of their essence. When Langer extended to art the language-based concept of symbolic representation, she naturally looked for something concrete that the art symbol could represent. Her solution was to postulate that the art symbol pointed to the form of the life of feeling, something she saw as complex patterns of rising and falling tensions, so complex as to be forever impossible to depict using ordinary language. Only the art symbol could present the life of feeling in a way that made it understandable.

I believe that Langer is correct that a work of art symbolizes patterns of feelings that occur in the lives of people, but I believe she made a mistake when she characterized these patterns as forms. I am an architect, and the word immediately conjures up an image of the forms into which concrete is poured. Forms are rigid, while the patterns of felt experience are fluid and difficult to pin down.

By her insistence that a work of art symbolized some kind of form, Langer created a problem for herself: how do you decipher the work of art to reveal the symbolized form? Langer invoked intuition, a famously vague term, and argued that the work of art must be intuitively seen as a whole, all at once (of course in music, dance, drama and literature the work unfolds over time, but we can still imagine the work as a whole after it is completely presented or read).

The form to which the symbol refers is the meaning of the work of art; in her later work, Langer substituted “import” and especially “significant form” for “meaning,” but the sense was the same: the art symbol referred to some kind of pattern representing the ebb and flow of feelings. (To confuse matters, the expression “significant form” was used by art critic Clive Bell in a famous 1913 article “Art and Significant Form” at http://www.denisdutton.com/bell.htm. Langer strongly disagreed with Bell’s ideas, as do I, but the confusion of terms did not help her argument.)

The problem of how to decipher the underlying form to which the symbol refers was clarified for me through an article I found on the web by chance. It was written by Berel Lang, who I find is a philosopher at Wesleyan University, and is entitled “Langer’s Arabesque and the Collapse of the Symbol” (see http://www.anthonyflood.com/langlanger.htm). In this essay, Lang argues that it is not possible to distinguish the art symbol from what Langer argued that it represents, the form of the life of feeling. She notes that this problem was raised in a review of Langer’s seminal book “Philosophy in a New Key” by philosopher Ernest Nagel, and that Langer took his criticism seriously and tried to resolve the problem in her later writings, in Lang’s view without success.

Summarizing Lang’s critique, a work of art is not a symbol because instead of referring to an objective content, a meaning, the work is itself the content. There is no symbolism because it is impossible to abstract the symbolic form from the details of the work. Here Langer herself makes this point:

But a work of art does not point us to a meaning beyond its own presence.  What is expressed cannot be grasped apart from the sensuous or poetic form that expresses it. In a work of art we have the direct presentation of a feeling, not a sign that points to it.” (Principles of Art, pp.133-34)

Put another way, the patterns that one detects in a work of art are far too complex to be perceived as a single form, no matter how elaborate. Think about how you take in a work of art: at each viewing or hearing, it always takes time, and all art lovers comment that you can come back to a familiar painting or piece of music hundreds of times and never cease to discover something new. How, if we perceive the whole work as a single form (a gestalt, as Langer would put it), can we continue to reconstruct it as we experience it over time? Would we not each time find a new overall form?

If all the intricate details of a work are cast into the form, it must be a very flexible form indeed to accommodate the reinterpretations by each perceiver, not to mention the dramatic reinterpretations that take place as cultural norms change over the decades – so flexible as to lose its character as a form. And Nagel’s and Lang’s telling criticism also applies, that the form is so intricately trapped in the actuality of the work of art that you cannot separate the work from its import. The work, as the quote from Langer above suggests, is the import.

The solution to this dilemma, I maintain, is that the pattern and flow of human feeling cannot be symbolized as a form, a conceptual object, something that is remembered in the same way that we remember objective things. Instead, the art symbol needs to be thought of as a process rather than an objective thing, as a verb instead of a noun. What this means is not obvious, but I will try to make my idea clear in subsequent essays in this series.

Essay I on Function: Does Reality Have a Purpose?

Leaving aside ceremonial dinners and mathematical expressions, “function” is a synonym for purpose, or is the role something plays, whether by itself or as part of a larger assembly. So if we substitute “role or purpose” for “function” we will not be far off. My ultimate goal is to explore the concept of function in the context of architecture, but in this first essay, I want to explore function in the context of nature.

Does the sun or a rock or the atmosphere play a role or have a purpose? Well, if you believe that this land was made for you and me, then the sun functions to light and heat us, rock provides us with building material, and the atmosphere delivers oxygen to breathe and protects us from ultraviolet radiation. If you adopt the Enlightenment notion of a clockwork universe, then each has a function as part of God’s grand clock that he wound up and let run according to the Newton’s laws. Einstein had such a view of God; he was certain God made orderly, logical laws, and didn’t at all like the uncertainty that is fundamental to the theory of quantum mechanics he helped formulate.

A modern scientific point of view rejects such ideas. Stars and rocks and gases are things that emerge naturally, given the laws of physics. You can trace cause and effect step by step back to the big bang, beyond which for the moment we are blind. If you want to interject a deity, you can be a Deist and have God set off the Big Bang or design the laws of physics, but I don’t think this kind of deity would satisfy many people’s spiritual needs, although it seemed to satisfy Einstein. For today’s science, there is no one behind the scenes deciding what comes next. Arguments on the subject continue unabated; I stake my claim on the side of materialism.

A role or purpose needs context. To define the role or purpose of a rock, you need to have some kind of goal, for example, making a rock wall. When you set a goal, everything in the universe suddenly has a role or purpose relative to the goal. Rocks, yourself, tools, a plan, and a location all have essential functions, while the Andromeda galaxy takes no part, and the sun functions to keep you warm while you work and to provide light. Invent a goal, and function follows; if there is no goal, nothing has a function.

But does this line of thinking apply to life? It seems natural to think of one’s heart as having an essential function, doing its part to keep you alive so you can reproduce. Richard Dawkins argued in “The Selfish Gene” that it is your genes that have the goal, and you are just the vehicle they use to make more of themselves (as a chicken is an egg’s way to make another egg, or a scholar is a library’s way to make another library).

I maintain that we have invented the goal. Genes don’t have goals, they are just doing their thing, even if it seems to us that they “want” to persist into the next generation. It is a compelling metaphor, but it is just that: a gene is the pathway through time taken by the atoms that make up the gene, a part of the unfolding evolution of our universe.

The injection of purpose, intention, role, agency, goals and the like into our thinking about things is probably essential for understanding. We seem compelled to personify things, to think of them as if they were people, applying our hyper-developed social skills as a tool for understanding. In this way, we endow objects and events with an essence, a thingness that helps us makes sense of the world.

This is a highly useful tendency (which is no doubt why it evolved), since on our planet, nature clumps into identifiable objects and events. But our planet is highly unusual: very little of nature clumps into identifiable objects and events, important as these are to us. Most of nature consists of undifferentiated aggregations of dust, gas, plasmas, particles and fields. Only a few percent of the mass of the universe is in the form of what we call matter. But we didn’t know that when our mental equipment evolved. It was tuned to a pre-scientific world.

Nature doesn’t have a purpose, and being a part of nature, neither do you. This idea creates cognitive dissonance, so we seek meaning and purpose in our lives: it’s the only way we can avoid existential despair. But when we try to find out how nature actually works, we need temporarily to abandon our search for meaning and purpose and accept reality as it presents itself.

Life in a Bubble

Norwalk boatyard

I see four fundamental characteristics of all living things: they process resources from the environment and return waste products (i.e. they metabolize); they reproduce; they evolve; and (the focus of this essay) they are separated from their environment by some kind of membrane.

The origin of the chemical processes that make life possible, and the place or places of their origin, are the subject of active research. But all agree that these processes need to be concentrated so they don’t dissipate into the outer environment. Even if life processes can arise in an open environment that is rich with the necessary energy and chemical resources, evolution is not possible until there is some kind of “it” to evolve.

The key component required to contain life is a “lipid bilayer” that forms a membrane. This remarkable structure surrounds each living cell. It is formed of a double layer of molecules packed side by side, with other molecules embedded in the membrane that act as gates for passing chemicals through the membrane. You can learn about them in the Wikipedia article on lipid bilayers at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipid_bilayer.

Because of this need to be separated from its outer environment, a cell is its own mini-universe. Whatever behavior it exhibits results from processes occurring within that universe, informed by information and chemicals from outside. This in turn requires the cell to form a model of what is both inside and outside its boundary.

Information and chemicals pass through the membrane in both directions, informing the cell of what is going on outside its membrane; internal machinery tracks what is going on within the cell. Each cell is specialized to process only certain kinds of chemicals and information.

Assemblies of specialized cells can process a great deal more information and chemicals than a single cell. A single-cell bacterium can configure itself as a lens to focus light on the inside of its membrane, allowing it to move toward the light. But a human’s eye and brain can form incredibly more elaborate models of what is visible.

Yet the principle is that same: only certain kinds of information and chemicals can get through the barriers surrounding individual cells and the vast collections of cells forming a complex organism, and only certain processes within the cell are monitored. It is impossible for a living organism to form a perfect model of itself or its outer environment.

Each organism’s model of its self in its environment is created out of a rich and constantly changing stew of inheritance and experience – “nature versus nurture” is entirely void of meaning. The model is volatile; what astonishes is not its malleability, but its apparent stability. If a human brain decides every tenth of a second what its brain-body is to do next, which seems to be approximately the case, the model created by a person my age (80) must have been updated 25 billion times through exceedingly complex neural transformations. This is either a miracle, or we are kidding ourselves regarding the stability of the model.

I leave you with two take-aways. One is that indeed our sense of self and our memories are transient and inaccurate, something science is probing with unsettling consequences. The other is that the organism must have some sort of criteria to decide on the appropriate next behavior. Without such criteria, no consistent model could be formed, and therefore no consistent behavior.

I feel that not enough attention is being paid to the subtleties of these criteria, and that art is a way of laying bare at least some of them. This leads me to believe that art can be a window into the workings of human brains, a subject I will pursue in other essays.

Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl Announces Sellout

FORT WORTH, TEXAS, November 22, 2010 – With more than five weeks until the Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl kickoff, the 2010 game is officially a “sellout”. More than 32,000 in-stadium seats have been sold for the eighth annual post-season football game to be played at Gerald J. Ford Stadium in Dallas, Texas.

With the announcement of the schools competing in the 2010 Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl expected December 5, this year’s edition will kick off at 11 a.m. (CST) on December 30 with ESPN handling both the television and radio coverage of the game.

“We are pleased to announce that the 2010 game is a sellout, with standing room only tickets being sold at this point,” said Brant B. Ringler, executive director of the Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl. “This shows the tremendous excitement within the Dallas-Fort Worth community this year to support the game in honor of the men and women of the U.S. armed forces.”

The bowl is scheduled to feature schools from Conference USA (C-USA) and the Mountain West Conference (MWC), but there is an opening for the United States Military Academy to compete in the game if either league cannot fulfill its contractual bowl agreement. Army became bowl eligible November 13 by winning its sixth game this season with a 45-28 victory at Kent State. The Black Knights will conclude their season December 11 against Navy in Philadelphia.

Standing room only tickets for the Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl are available for $10 and can be obtained online at Additional tickets will be available through the team ticket offices once teams are officially announced on December 5.

Did You Hear What I Said?

Author : Lynn Murphy

From my recent experiences with customer service representatives, I am starting to believe that many representatives have been trained NOT to listen to their customers. As a customer service trainer, I see the value of training customer service representatives to follow standardized procedures and scripts, but not when the training has taught them not to use good critical thinking and problems solving abilities.

I believe that companies, CSRs, and customers would benefit if customer service representatives were trained to use better thinking skills instead of just routinely reading a script. As a customer, I want to deal with smart customer service representatives who know what they can and cannot do, who use their brains to listen to what I am saying, and who create a solution that fits my needs. I also want to work with someone who seems to care about what he or she is doing and truly wants to help, is not just trading time for a paycheck.

In the last week, I have received phone calls from representatives of two companies with which I have done business for many years. One call was from Qwest, the phone company for my business landline; and the other was from Verizon, my cell phone service provider. Both representatives called me to convince me to upgrade my service, yet neither representative really listened to what I told him. Each seemed intent on following a script. Upgrading service (or any sales of any kind) is not just about following a script. Good sales and service are about understanding what your customer wants and needs or wants and needs that you may be able to create or uncover.

The first call was from Alex (not his real name) at Qwest. Alex wanted to go over the landline services I am receiving ostensibly to see if he could save me some money and better tailor the service to my business needs. (Sounds like a well-written script so far.) Since I frequently work with clients out of my office, I forward my business line to a secondary cell phone I use just for those business calls.

I explained to Alex that the cell phone service has caller ID, call waiting, and voice mail everything I really need for my business. He asked a few more questions then launched into his next script. Based on what youve told me, heres the package I recommend for you: two lines with caller ID, call waiting on each line, and voice mail. I wondered if he even listened to me or if he just asked questions and flipped to the next page of the script. I did take the time to repeat what Id told him, but he still couldnt grasp that I didnt need to pay Qwest for the same services I was receiving from my cell phone provider. After listening to Alex recite several more scripted recommendations and benefits, I told him that I was going to hang up because he wasnt listening to me. I had wasted enough time already and Alex wasted his.

Today, I received a phone call from Verizon representative David (not his real name) who is in the Customer Loyalty Department. Apparently, Im a Loyal Customer: because my contract has been fulfilled and I could cancel my service at any time. He was surprised to discover that Ive been with Verizon and their predecessors since 1985, probably before he was born. Id call that loyalty.

He offered me an upgrade for my four-year-old, very basic cell phone. (This is the one I have my landline forwarded to.) I explained that I only use this cell phone to answer phone calls that are forwarded from my business phone and to get voicemail. I said that I have another, newer droid phone with all the bells and whistles on a separate Verizon contract. I said Id be happy to upgrade the old phone to a newer model if it didnt cost me a dime and it didnt change my calling plan.

I must have repeated these two simple conditions six or seven times during the conversation. He kept offering new phones with exciting features like touch screens, e-mail, browsers, text messaging, cameras, video recorders, and MP3 players that only cost $49.99 since I was a Loyal Customer. He couldnt seem to understand that I dont need a second cell phone that does all those exciting things.

Maybe he couldnt locate the script for my particular situation. After 15 minutes, I finally agreed to upgrade the old phone and extend my contract as long as it cost me nothing, nada, zero, zilch. As he read his script confirming my upgrade, he mentioned the sales tax on my zero payment that would be, ah, zero; that I could change to a plan with data capabilities for an additional charge (didnt I say I did NOT want to spend another dime?); and that if I didnt like the phone once I had tried it out, I could return it and pay a $35 restocking fee. Unfortunately for him, that doesnt fit into my nothing, nada, zero, zilch scenario.

When I train customer service representatives through my company, Key Innovative Solutions, Inc., I encourage them to really think about what they are doing and saying, and why they are doing and saying what they are. Well-thought out policies and procedures are a useful place to start, but they are not the ultimate solution in every circumstance. Not every customers situation can be crammed into one of the designated procedures or scripts.

Customer service representatives, supervisors, and mangers have very difficult jobs. They can save time, build customer loyalty, and reduce their own and their customers frustration and stress levels if they would really listen to their customers and apply critical thinking to every situation. The good news is that listening skills are trainable. So lets train those customer service representatives to listen and think not to just follow a script.

Mix of reality and imagination in a figurative style a tad impressionistic gives her a lot of fun and relaxation. She enjoys watching the sky, where all forms and all colors are allowed.

Ceramex set to exhibit at CV Show

Ceramex Limited, an international leaders in Diesel Particulate Filter Cleaning, will be demonstrating its patented Veritex inspection technology at the CV Show in April and the Automechanika in June.

Marcus Beament, Head of Sales at Ceramex says: “The DPF is one of the most expensive service items on the vehicle and it is critical that cleaning and inspection are performed to the highest professional standards. If DPFs are not cleaned correctly, this can lead to increased fuel consumption, shorter intervals between cleans and potential failure of the DPF, bringing an unwelcome bill for the owner. Airflow measurements can be ambiguous especially if you have a hole or crack. This patented method of inspection provides a picture of the internal filter condition, identifying any damage or blockages. It also provides evidence that the filter has been cleaned properly and gives confidence that it will continue to perform effectively in service.”

The Ceramex approach provides the following benefits

  • Improved cleaning performance compared with conventional cleaning processes
  • Longer interval between DPF cleans
  • Improved fuel consumption arising from cleaner filters
  • An inspection image of your filter to demonstrate that the cleaning has been done properly and professionally

How To Use The eBay Search Engine.

If you know what you're doing, you can quickly find what you're looking for on eBay - and the more you know about how buyers find you, the easier you'll find it to be found.

Here are a few golden searching rules.

Be specific: If you're searching for the first edition of the original Harry Potter book, you'll get further searching for 'harry potter Rowling philosopher's stone first edition' than you will searching for 'harry potter'.

You'll get fewer results, but the ones you do get will be far more relevant.

Spell wrongly: It's a sad fact that many of the sellers on eBay just can't spell.

Whatever you're looking for, try thinking of a few common misspellings - you might find a few items here that have slipped through the cracks.

Get a thesaurus: You should try to search for all the different words that someone might use to describe an item, for example searching for both 'TV' and 'television', or for 'phone', 'mobile' and 'cellphone'.

Where you can, though, leave off the type of item altogether and search by things like brand and model.

Use the categories: Whenever you search, you'll notice a list of categories at the side of your search results. If you just searched for the name of a song, you should click the 'songs' category to look at results in that category only.

Why bother looking through a load of results that you don't care about?

Don't be afraid to browse: Once you've found the category that items you like seem to be in, why not click 'Browse' and take a look through the whole category?

You might be surprised by what you find.

Few people realize just how powerful eBay's search engine is - a few symbols here and there and it'll work wonders for you.

Wildcard searches: You can put an asterisk (*) into a search phrase when you want to say 'anything can go here'.

For example, if you wanted to search for a 1950s car, you could search for 'car 195*'. 195* will show results from any year in the 1950s.

In this order: If you put words in quotes ("") then the only results shown will be ones that have all of the words between the quote marks. For example, searching for "Lord of the Rings" won't give you any results that say, for example "Lord Robert Rings".

Exclude words: Put a minus, and then put any words in brackets that you don't want to appear in your search results.

For example: "Pulp Fiction" -(poster,photo) will find items related to Pulp Fiction but not posters or photos.

Either/or: If you want to search for lots of words at once, just put them in brackets: the TV example from earlier could become '(TV,television)', which would find items with either word.

Don't get too tied up learning the ways of the search engine, though: a surprising number of eBay users don't search at all, preferring to look through eBay's category system and save their favorites in their browser. The next email will show you how to make sure these people can find you too.
