Welcome to the Lip Flapper! Each week, we delve deep into the community and get a good look into both individual members as well as group discussions on various issues that surround our hobby.
This Week in "The Lip Flapper"
This week, I lip flapped with Scintilla, a long time member and consistently great editor throughout the years. Scintilla is the mastermind behind Eva Bebop, Restless, The NERV Evening News, And Now a Word From Our Sponsors, as well as this year's hit AMV Squideo. We talked about his past videos, some of his more recent hits, as well as some thoughts on the community as a whole.
"The Interview"
Q: First of all, let me thank you for taking the time to answer my questions! But before we get started, how about you introduce yourself to the readers and let us know a little about yourself?
Well, let's see. I'm a lifelong resident of New Jersey with a healthy appreciation for pork roll, birch beer, Tastykake, and diners. I've also been rather musical for basically ever: from singing in church choirs, All-State choirs, and barbershop choruses... to playing in almost every musical ensemble our high school offered (horn for life!)... to spending my hard-earned salary on more musical instruments than I have time to play.
I was introduced to animé and manga near the end of my high school career by some friends from CTY... but it wasn't until college that my interest really exploded, with my sudden access to an animé club, high-speed Internet, and a nearby Borders that didn't care if I never bought anything.
Since graduating from college I've been working in various actuarial departments of a large insurance company and am pursuing certifications from the Society of Actuaries.
My other interests include card games (including spades, hearts, bridge, Pinochle, etc.), board games (including chess, Diplomacy, Settlers of Catan, etc.), Japanese mahjong (since mid-2011), and simulations (including Civilization, Colonization, SimCity from Classic through 4, NHL '96, RollerCoaster Tycoon, college basketball coaching sims, and who knows what else).
Oh, and I think Cyanna would hit me if I failed to mention that we've been married for three years, after having dated for five more and having known each other since high school before that. If you've ever seen me in costume at a convention, chances are she was the one who created it for me... and now she's plotting some for our new daughter.
Q: Well thanks for joining me Scintilla. Let us start off nice and easy and ask how you got involved in editing AMVs?
It started when I was introduced to animé and manga around my senior year of high school. My girlfriend at the time was a big fan, and she'd collected a number of AMVs that she'd sometimes share with me on the CD-RW we popped back and forth. (You have to remember that this was before widespread availability of broadband.) I had seen almost no animé at this point, but the videos were still entertaining.
When I got to college, I had my own computer and a campus broadband connection, so it didn't take long for me to discover the Org and start seeking out new AMVs on my own. This was also when I really got exposed to a lot of new animé and started thinking to myself, "hey, I could make those videos too."
My first attempt used Windows Movie Maker and VCD footage of a fan parody. But when I got home for the winter break that year, I installed my father's old copy of Adobe Premiere 5.1, read the manual, ran through the tutorials, and started experimenting. Some short snippets came out of that break, but I didn't see a video through to completion until a few months later, with "The NERV Evening News with Dan Rather".
Which I then sent to Otakon on a lark, never expecting it would actually break. It did.
Then we actually went there and I saw my first AMV contest on a huge screen. And we actually met other AMVers. And they were all a cool bunch.
After that, I knew I wasn't stopping anytime soon.
More here for those who care!
Q: Before I get too deep into the interview, I'd like to ask you about Aquiline Studios. Is there a specific purpose behind its founding? Is there anything special that the studio has as an editing philosophy? Why just yourself and Cyanna? Why the eagle?
Aquiline Studios was pretty much only ever meant to be a cool name to do business under, because it's fun to make studio bumpers and pretend we're big movie studios. Plus it sounds way better than "The _________ Family".
Similarly, we never really considered expanding beyond the two of us because it keeps things simple. We can share resources easily, and if we ever want to collaborate, it just takes a yell up the stairs. Besides, the other editors we know in any kind of geographical proximity to us already have well-established names for themselves anyway.
The name proceeds from the eagle; for those who don't know (as it's not the most common word around), "aquiline" means "of, relating to, or having the characteristics of an eagle". I've had an affinity for raptors since high school, and the name allowed me to keep that link to birds of prey while also projecting a refined brand image.
Though the font has always been consistent, the logo took a while. At first I was just using whatever good eagle photos I could find, until I realized I should probably be more consistent about branding if I wanted to stick around and have people remember my name. The yellow eagle on blue circle was first nailed down for 2004's "Rock Me Hideaki!", chosen as a transparent attempt to parody the Touchtone Pictures bumper that closed out so many television shows in my childhood. Even though I've abandoned that parody since (just as Touchtone's abandoned that bumper!), I can't imagine ever changing it now.
As for the editing philosophy... this might be long.
Part of the problem with answering this is that if you asked me about my editing philosophy and asked Cyanna about hers, you'd get two different answers. There are some points we have in common though.
The first principle that guides the videos we make is that we make the videos we want to make, and screw what everyone else thinks. (Overused Evanescence song? Who cares! 9 minutes long? Who cares!) Life's too short to be editing videos that we ourselves don't enjoy. People might think of me as concerned with appearances, and to some extent I am (more on this later) -- but even so, I don't compromise on this point; I've been saying this for years and I stand by it. I've never picked a concept that I myself didn't honestly want to see realized.
Secondly, from that pool of videos we want to make, we pick concepts strong enough to support whole videos. There are times you're watching an AMV and after a while, you can just tell that the concept was germinated from one or two "money" lines that just fit perfectly... but then the whole rest of the video falls to pieces. We've had concepts like that before; but, when we realize that we wouldn't be able to keep it up for the whole song, it's no longer fun -- so we don't do those concepts.
(I should mention that I've often edited songs down if I didn't think I could do the full versions justice; see "My Evil Alien", RMH!, etc. I don't consider this cheating; I still enjoy the end results.)
At this point, I should mention that much of how I approach AMVing can be explained by one simple fact: I've always been a perfectionist. If I consider an AMV worth making, I consider it worth making it the best I can make it.
Accordingly, another important principle that I've tried to adhere to and tried to make my personal brand stand for is that of solid execution of the concept, enough to keep people watching the whole way through. Even when time-constrained (see: 2007-2009), I've tried my best to make every scene serve a purpose and flow with the music the best that it can. When I actually *do* have the time to, I often find myself switching out scenes and tweaking transition timings and re-previewing hundreds of times until I'm convinced I can't improve on it any more.
Basically, I try my best to make sure no one can watch one of my videos and find him/herself thinking, "I could have done that concept better."
And lastly, I've tried to give my AMVs a polished presentation. Perhaps the most obvious aspect of this is how I tend to go crazy testing all the filters I can get my hands on to see what filter chain will give the best combination of visual quality and compressibility -- once again, perfectionism at work here. (My AVISynth filters guide grew out of this; it's partially meant to be my own personal easy reference.) But it also includes the studio bumpers, credits sequences, and Org video info page writeups.
In conclusion, I don't care if people don't associate me with the most original concepts or the most innovative editing methods. But when people see my name on an AMV, I want them to be able to expect a solid, cohesive video that keeps their attention to the end.
Q: You've written several guides on varying topics in AMV development over the years (such as the guide to converting to MPEG for conventions). What made you take the time to do this sort of thing? Any thoughts on future guides you might write?
Mostly, it was seeing an unfilled need in an area I had a personal interest in myself.
As I've already mentioned, the AVISynth filters guide has become a valuable reference for when I'm trying to filter a video for release after not having touched AVISynth in months. At the time I began it, the relevant section of EADFAG had fallen out of date, and I had curiosity and time on my hands.
Same kind of thing with the con MPEG encoding guide: I send videos to contests fairly frequently, and nobody else had written one up as far as I could see. (I know some people once intended to write one that used a free MPEG-2 encoder, but I never found out if that got anywhere.)
As for the DVD footage in Windows Movie Maker guide, that one was a little different, as it served no purpose for me personally. Cyanna, however, *was* editing with WMM at the time. Between her and the countless others editing AMVs in WMM, the program's inherent restrictions, and my own deep-seated urge to get people to Follow Best Practices to Avoid Wasted Time and Effort, it seemed like it would be a good idea to have a guide that I could just link to whenever someone had a question in the fora on WMM workflow.
Q: The NERV Evening News was an extremely solid piece that has aged extremely well. What made you want to put this together? Why did you decide to choose Evangelion for this particular source of audio? Why the Papyrus font?!
First off, the font's actually Bradley Hand ITC.
As with so many random songs on my computer, I don't remember how I first came across The Evolution Control Committee's masterpiece of subversive sampling known as "Rocked By Rape"; but it did coincide with my first year in college, when I was just really getting into the animé fandom. I'd originally hoped to be able to do the whole song with various animé, since the lyrics are so ridiculous... but I soon realized I hadn't seen nearly enough animé yet to be able to cover all of that.
Luck was mine that I had just seen Neon Genesis Evangelion for the first time that semester, so the show was still fresh in my mind. It has a pretty wide variety of scenes, tones running the gamut from comedy to insane psychological trauma; as I thought about it more, I came to realize that I could find scenes to fill *almost* all of the first verse. Some lines I never quite found good matches for ("tough FBI killed and injured children" comes to mind), but that brings me to something else: my mindset at the time.
You have to understand that this was pretty much my first decently done AMV that went public, disregarding one or two unimportant prior efforts. I was doing it because it amused me and because nobody had done it before -- I wasn't really thinking about things like polish and critical reception and all that, because I never thought it would be seen by that many people.
And it shows, from things like the intro sequence with that horribly inappropriate font choice you pointed out, to the pixelation of the later scenes because I started cutting clips at half-resolution to save hard drive space. If I'd known this video was going to be shown on the big screen in front of thousands at Otakon this year, I prooooobably would have been more careful about things like that.
It's a little embarrassing, to see things like that 8.5 years later. But apparently the concept was strong enough that people were willing to forgive faults like that, and I'm proud of that much, at least.
Q: I'd be remiss if I didn't ask about Eva Bebop. What was the inspiration behind this classic AMV, and how did you manage to do such a fantastic work with the technical limitations of the earlier days of editing? Also, why Evangelion of all things?
The closest I could come to pinpointing an inspiration would probably be the "Nadesico vs. Evangelion" AMV I saw back in the day, which was the NGE opener redone with footage from Martian Successor Nadesico. It didn't take me long after seeing the Cowboy Bebop opening sequence to think it was one of the coolest opening sequences ever, which I guess led to wondering if it would be possible to parody it in such a way... plus I guess it gave me an opportunity to practice with heavy special effects.
(It's a lot easier to figure out what you're trying to create on screen when you already have a template to work from. I'm not good at conceiving way involved effects from scratch.)
As for how? Lots and lots of Adobe Photoshop. And in fact, it was even more tedious and time-consuming than it had to be, because I didn't know of the existence of Bezier curve paths and the Pen tool -- I was just using the Polygonal Lasso for everything. Yuck.
Once the hard work of all of that masking was over, actually compositing everything together (done in Adobe Premiere Pro (1.0)) wasn't nearly as difficult. There are a lot of objects on the screen at various points in the Bebop opener, but usually they don't have a definite Z-order: it doesn't matter much which ones go in the top layers and which ones go in the bottom layers, because most of the objects don't overlap with each other anyway.
So, most of the effort was spent on getting the motion right, things like making sure everything was flying by at the same number of pixels per frame and so on. (And thank Pen-Pen Adobe forced all of their effects to offer down-to-the-pixel placement accuracy in Premiere Pro; this would have been well nigh impossible to do correctly in Premiere 5.1.)
And why Evangelion? Because it was popular and I knew people would recognize it, because I love the series myself (and knew it well enough from re-watching and from my previous AMVs that it didn't take me long to come up with ideas for which scenes to use), and because I had a friend who owned the DVDs.
Q: Have you considered remaking the prior two videos (both with Evangelion) with the new Evangelion movies that have recently been released?
Oh, goodness, no. ^^> As pretty as they are, I don't have nearly the free time I had back then (very important for a technical monster like AEO:EB!), and some of the scenes probably aren't even in the Rebuild movies. But on top of that, said lack of free time combined with my backlog of AMV ideas makes me put more of a priority on moving forward and creating new stuff with the time I do have.
Q: Restless is naturally the highlight of Loveless AMVs everywhere. What was the story/inspiration behind that video, especially when you consider the different genre nature of your prior work? Why did you choose to use Lacara instead of Cascada?
You're too kind! ^^> Though I should point out first that I wasn't entirely new to the drama/romance genre, having made "My Evil Alien" 2.5 years prior.
Anyway, how I came across that song... I'm guessing here, but it probably started when I first heard "Everytime We Touch" at some social or on the radio or whatnot near the end of college. I guess I went searching for the song after that, and it didn't take me long to conclude that I didn't like it... EXCEPT for this one odd version labeled "Club Mix". Which had a bit more trancey of a feel to it, running 7'08", and totally different verses.
It took me way too long to realize that it wasn't by Cascada but actually by a different artist entirely. It took a while, but with the help of Discogs.com, I finally tracked it down: it was Lacara's version from 2003. The only thing left was to figure out what series to set to it.
It didn't take too long to pick Loveless, as it was pretty much the only romantic series I could remember watching that had the darker undercurrents and the sensuality I'd need -- and certainly the only one that fit those criteria AND had enough kisses to satisfy my craving for lyric sync. (And even then, I almost ran out of kiss scenes.)
It wasn't until I actually started working with the footage that I made the happy discovery that a lot of the coolest scenes of the series practically composite themselves, what with the pitch black backgrounds of the spell battles. I don't know if I did any actual outline masking, but the Luma Key effect was everywhere.
Having only two weeks between a big scary actuarial exam and the AnimeNEXT deadline (I missed the Otakon deadline that year), and not really interested in a heavily effectsy dancey video anyway, I had to hope that I could convey the tone of fear, awe, confusion, and eventually attachment inherent in the song well enough that the viewer would forgive me for what was mostly "slow editing to a fast song". And I guess it worked!
Q: Last year, you edited the very popular con dance video "And Now a Word From Our Sponsors". Why did you decide to this song of all things, with this kind of anime that nobody would have ever thought of doing otherwise?
You can blame Ashyukun for this... in a very roundabout way, that is. His godly GAiNAX tribute AMV from 2005, "Bouncing Through the Years", was what introduced me to DJ Ötzi. However, it wasn't until a few years later that I hit upon the idea of checking out some of his *other* music to see if I'd enjoy it as much as I enjoyed "Megaman".
When I finally found "Burger Dance", I began to wonder just what the Central European pop music scene was like, that a ridiculously goofy song like this could become a huge hit. You can say this about DJ Ötzi, he sure knows how not to take himself seriously. Takes guts, that.
And one quick Super Search later (revealing that nobody had set Code Geass to it yet), I decided that this video simply MUST BE MADE.
But why (mostly) Code Geass, you ask? For the simple reason that the original Japanese broadcast of Code Geass had the most egregious, blatant Pizza Hut product placement EVER. That's right: if you check out the R2s, you will find that most of those Pizza Hut logos you saw in the Code Geass scenes in my AMV were already in the source footage. Sadly, said logos were removed for the American release, but they couldn't hide the pizza itself.
(If you've ever seen C.C. cosplayers holding Pizza Hut boxes and wondered why, now you know. As a matter of fact, even before my AMV was released, it had become an annual tradition at AnimeNEXT for someone to arrange a Code Geass Pizza Hut Picnic.)
And I still giggle every time I think of how I managed to make Mao do the dance in the second chorus.
Q: On that topic, let's take a moment for a random moment of patriotism and ask what your favourite of the warring restaurant factions is? KFC, Pizza Hut or McDonalds?
Gotta go with... PIZ-ZA HUT!
Q: Ok, enough of the older stuff. Let's talk about what everyone REALLY wants to hear about and find out where the hell you found the squid song for AMVSquideo (which is probably one of my favorite videos of 2011 hands down). While the combination was obvious, what made you want to edit this video?
What made me want to edit it? Simple: the desire to make AMVs with my own music.
This was a goal I'd had for years. AMVs with original music are something I've seen almost none of in my eight years in the hobby. Like I said before, I don't often come up with real innovations in editing -- but give me a spark of inspiration and enough free time, and I can write a song. I've been a musical being my whole life. I've been accumulating recording equipment since graduating college.
So I figured this was one of the few ways I could really break some new ground in the hobby and show people something they hadn't seen before.
And not only that, but I actually had all the resources to do it in my usual perfectionistic way. I wanted nothing less than a mix that sounded professionally done, of a catchy song that would fit right in with the bubblegum dance of Bambee, Aqua, Papaya, etc. (It drove Cyanna crazy during the recording process. She is really a trooper for putting up with me when I have my producer hat on.)
In the end, I'd like to think that overhearing comments like "Was that song CANON?!" means I succeeded. (That comment, from a random viewer at the AnimeNEXT AMV contest, was what inspired my new sig banner: "Maybe it's canon... maybe it's Aquiline.")
And hey, even 4chan liked it!... kind of.
Q: Can our readers hear about what your next AMV might be about, or what you might like to attempt in the future?
I'm habitually tight-lipped about future AMV plans, but I can say that Cyanna and I are planning to do a major collaboration soon.
Q: As an active member of A-M-V.org for many years, what do you think of a-m-v.org today as compared to what it was when you first joined?
Well, I've toned down my forum participation considerably from what it used to be, so I might not be the best one to ask about that. I'll see what I do remember, though:
It was pretty cool to join right before the Dangling Carrot and then the Golden Donut became reality, as I remember the frustration of not being able to track down copies of older videos due to offsite links going out of date. When everyone started uploading videos here instead, that became much less of a problem.
The Star Scale system was cool at first, but I'm incredibly annoyed that the rise in its usage seems to have been to the detriment of the traditional opinions system.
I haven't noticed much change in the people, aside from how it seems like almost all the people who were big on the AMV scene when I was getting into it have stopped making AMVs by now, which always did puzzle me. To me, the Org's always been a cool place to hang out with a cast of characters that runs the whole gamut of personalities. It wasn't difficult to get involved in the conversation back then, and I don't think that's really changed.
Maybe it seems a little more civilized these days, with the closure of the Off Topic board and with the IRC room basically supplanting the AOLIM Buddy Chat (which I never found very inviting back in the day).
Maybe people perceive us as elitist, but I think that's mostly just out of new-found contrast with other sites that didn't exist back when I was starting out (read: Hosatchel) -- I don't think the actual tone has changed that much. In any case, it's still true that the ones who care the most about the hobby will be the ones doing most of the talking.
One thing I have noticed is people not wanting to put their videos up here, sticking rather to the streaming-only sites, because they don't want to make it any easier than necessary (by offering direct downloads) for others to steal their videos. As someone who got into the hobby when nobody was offering streaming and who has always kept the direct download model in mind first and foremost when planning new releases, this kind of thinking is pretty unthinkable to me. But it does seem to be a consistent thing with new editors recently.
Q: Anything you'd like to say to the A-M-V.org community itself? How about something that might improve A-M-V.org?
Can't think of anything, sorry. I'm not much of an ideas person when it comes to improving communities, especially if I have almost no problems with how things currently are. (It would be nice to get back to the exponential growth (measured in # of videos in the catalog) we had going up until about 2006, but hell if I know how to do that.)
Q: Well, thank you again for taking the time to answer my questions. Do you have any last minute advice you'd like to give editors that might just be starting out? Or just something you'd like to say in general?
Well, mainly just the same advice I've been offering for years (and I *did* do all of these myself when I was starting out!):
- Make the videos you want to make
- If you want to improve your editing, read the theory guides (also watch other AMVs you consider good and try to figure out what makes them good)
- If you want to save time and effort on the tech side, read the tech guides
- If you want to get your videos more exposure, sending them to conventions is a great way so to do
- Above all, have fun!
Scintilla has an excellent attitude in the world of AMVs, and follows a practice that I wish more editors would follow.
Pwolf alluded to this last week as well, but it's important to follow your heart in editing. Do what you want to do, and not what you think others would want you do to, or what you think crowds might like. Because when you edit what you love, you're more likely to stick with it, through the thick and the thin, and put your whole self into the videos. When you have yourself in a video, you're likely to follow it through and give it the kind of polish to make it into something great.
While I'm not as perfectionistic as Scintilla is, I do think it's important to have a strong follow-through with videos. Anything worth doing is worth doing right.
Oh, and if you want the squid song, you can snag it here for a buck. Seriously consider supporting them, because these people deserve a little love for making AMV Squideo possible. XD
Also, if you haven't already, I still highly recommend you watch his AMVs. While I'm preferential to Restless, any of the videos I've linked above are just as fun to watch.
Next Time in "The Lip Flapper"
Join me next week, as I sit down with a group of editors and get their opinions on the editing faux pas known as "Lip Flap", and we get the community to discuss this long-debated subject.

Chicago Bears fans fret about Brian Urlacher's back while the local media stares to see if his lips move in their presence, and not just to his favorite online pal.
Chicago Bears fans fret about Brian Urlacher's back while the local media stares to see if his lips move in their presence, and not just to his favorite online pal. The Urlacher fascination starts with his being the face of the Bears since the day Chicago drafted him out of New Mexico eight years ago. But much of it is also tied to the future; Chicago papers speculated that Urlacher's arthritic back could scuttle the linebacker's hopes for a contract extension. He has, by the way, 4 1/2 years left on his current contract. Why talk about five years down the road? The local media pouts that a petulant Urlacher won't talk to them because people assume this year's over. Where's John Belushi when you need him? If it wasn't over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor, then it's not over after the Lions bombed the Bears for a second time. The Saints looked far worse than the Bears after an 0-4 start that included defeats by 31, 17 and 17 points. Now the Saints have won three in a row and look like the third-best team in the NFC behind Dallas and Green Bay. The Giants looked defenseless after giving up 80 points their first two games. Six consecutive wins later, New York's defense looks the equal of any team's in the NFC, giving up 13 points a game in that stretch. With the pathetically low standards of the NFC, anyone can come back from the dead. Especially teams with proven talent. Who's more proven than the defending NFC champion Bears? Nobody. So there's time — and talent — enough to rebound. It just doesn't seem that way because Chicago has played even worse than its 3-5 record. The Bears rank 26th in offense. And 26th in defense. And dead-last in turnover margin at minus-10. Last year, they tied for fourth at plus-8. That's actually an encouraging sign. Drew Brees couldn't keep playing as poorly as he started for the Saints, with one touchdown and nine interceptions in four games. He's been almost the exact opposite in three consecutive wins, with eight TDs and one interception. Just as Brees rebounded, Chicago will start getting takeaways again. Only four NFL teams have fewer than Chicago's five interceptions, partly because cornerback Nathan Vasher is hurt. But "The Interceptor" should return after the bye week. Cedric Benson will eventually run. If, that is, Ron Turner gives him the ball in the second half. He carried only three times after intermission last week, despite averaging 7.0 yards on those carries. Last year, Chicago started slow running, too. Even with Thomas Jones. The Bears averaged 2.7 yards on 91 carries in their first three games last year. Then they broke through with 143 and 156 yards in their next two games. It happened then. It can happen again. That leaves the passing game. Brian Griese won't average 300 yards, as he did in his first four starts. His receivers aren't good enough; the Bears dropped 10 passes last week. And, as noted here Sunday, Griese only thrives when he throws down the middle of the field. All four of his interceptions Sunday came on sideline passes, where his lack of arm strength gets exposed. Griese makes more big plays than any Bears quarterback since Sid Luckman; eight of his nine touchdown passes have covered at least 15 yards, including four of more than 30. In five starts, the supposed "game manager" has thrown more than half as many TD passes of 15 yards or more than the strong-armed Rex Grossman, who had just 15 in 31 career games. Problem is, Griese doesn't "manage" games like he's supposed to. He's averaged more than one interception per game in each of his last six seasons as a starter. If he doesn't stop throwing deep sideline passes up for grabs, the Bears may have to turn to Kyle Orton. Some fans don't want to wait. They want to trot out Orton now. The last time Orton played, the Bears went 9-5 in games he started and finished, but Orton was dead last in the NFL in passer rating. He was a rookie then, though. Maybe he's improved. Or maybe, if given a second chance, Grossman can show he learned by sitting and watching Griese's mistakes. Or maybe Griese will improve by never again facing the Lions, who lead the NFL with 13 interceptions, seven of them donated by Griese. Somebody, though, needs to improve at quarterback. Or else it will be over. Assistant sports editor Matt Trowbridge can be reached at 815-987-1383 or email@example.com.

Dr. John Derden to Speak at EGSC's Vision Series
Dr. John K. Derden, author and History Professor Emeritus at East Georgia State College, will give a presentation in the Luck Flanders Gambrell Center Auditorium on February, 28 at 11 a.m. Sponsored by the EGSC Vision Series, a privately funded initiative that seeks to bring programs of cultural and intellectual enrichment to East Georgia State College and its constituency, the event is free and open to the public.
Dr. Derden will speak on his new book, The World's Largest Prison: The Story of Camp Lawton, (Mercer University Press, 2012).
Dr. John K. Derden was a member of the initial faculty cadre when East Georgia State College, then Emanuel County Junior College, opened in the fall of 1973. Initially appointed as instructor in history, he has held the ranks of assistant, associate, and professor of history. He chaired the Social Science Division for many years, and in 1999-2000, he also served as interim vice president for academic affairs. His institutional service has been extensive, ranging from teaching to committee work to grant writing to continuing education involvement to leadership in the Post-secondary Readiness Enrichment Program. He retired from full-time service in July 2004, but has continued to work at the college on a part-time basis. Currently, he is Professor Emeritus of History, Chairs the Vision Series, is responsible for Heritage Center development, and teaches history. For the academic year 2006-2007, he served as interim chair of the Humanities Division at the college. Dr. Derden has taught for Augusta State University in a study abroad program in Greece and during Fall Semester 201l taught a graduate course for the history department at Georgia Southern University.
He holds the A.A. from Reinhardt University (1967) and the B.S.Ed. (1969), M.A. (1973), and Ph.D. (1981) degrees from the University of Georgia. He has done additional study and/or attended seminars at Georgia Perimeter College, St. Joseph's University, Cornell University, Ohio State University, and City University of New York.
Dr. Derden has been active in the community, serving as president of the Emanuel County Historic Preservation Society, a member of the Board of Grantors of the Mill Creek Foundation, a member of the Exchange Club, a founding member of the Emanuel Arts Center, and in numerous capacities at Swainsboro First United Methodist Church.
On the state level, he served a term on the Georgia National Register Review Board and was elected to three terms as the treasurer of the Georgia Association of Historians. He currently serves on the marker review board for Georgia Civil War Heritage Trails, Inc.
He is married to the former Carolyn Graves, and they have two children, Mark and Melanie, and one grandson.

Gift Guide: For the Cheese Lover
Say cheese! We recommend, review, and eat a lot of cheese.
The holidays are almost here. Stuck on what to get for the cheese lovers on your shopping list? Thankfully cheese people are relatively easy to shop for, and the internet has made it that much easier by providing an endless parade of cheese tools, toys, and treasures to choose from. Below you'll find some of my favorite finds for cheese fanatics, all vetted and enjoyed personally by your resident fromagère. That's me, in case you were unclear. *ahem*
Cheese Classes
What's New On Serious Eats
A new wave of cheese classes are sweeping the nation, and institutions such as the Cheese School of San Francisco and Manhattan's Artisanal Cheese Center guide students through everything from cheese basics to making their own fresh dairy treats at home. Advanced curd nerds will enjoy an intensive three-day cheesemonger training, designed for those looking to professionalize their passion.
Di Bruno Bros. House of Cheese
While cheese classes aren't always an option, cheese books generally are. Newly released Di Bruno Bros. House of Cheese: A Guide to Wedges, Recipes, and Pairings by Tenaya Darlington (of Madame Fromage fame) is a wonderful guide that teaches readers the finer points of pairing 170 artisan cheese with other gastronomic delights such as beer, cocktails, olives, and cured meats. A great selection for cheese beginners and more aged veterans.
Cheese(s) of the Month Club
A homegrown artisan cheese club started by learned cheese writer Kirstin Jackson, the "It's Not You, It's Brie Cheese Club" is perfect for anyone who wants to learn more about cheese, with style. Every month, Kirstin picks three of her favorite artisan cheeses from around the world, and delivers them to club members with a perfectly selected condiment or side that highlights one of the selections. Along with the edibles, members also receive a spiffy little narrative with details about pairings. A lovely gift that both teaches and inspires.
Cheese Paper
What is cheese paper, you ask? Why, it's just the ideal wrapper for your fridge-bound cheese. Plastic wrap chokes your cheese worse than the Scranton Strangler; giving it a little breathing room makes for a much better dairy experience, especially if your cheese has hunkered down for a long nap in the chill. Breathable cheese paper allows air to circulate around your cheese while still preventing it from drying out. Win-win!
Slate Cheese Board
Slate cheese boards are always a good gift--they're a unique way to display your cheese selection, and they're incredibly simple to clean. Slabs of slate are generally rectangular, but you can sometimes find then in other interesting shapes. Added bonus: you can write each cheese's name in chalk, then wash it off afterwards.
Rotary Cheese Grater
For the grated cheese lover in all of us, Zyliss developed the ultimate tool: a rotary cheese shredder that makes quick work of Parmesan or other hard cheeses that like to be enjoyed sprinkled over hot dish. This handy little toy washes up quickly and saves your knuckles from the ultimate cheese bummer: being pulverized by conventional cheese graters.
Cheese Knives
Etsy has a plethora of cute, vintage knives available for sale, which would tickle any cheese lover with a penchant for old-timey silverware. I especially love the little butter knives imprinted with the names of different cheeses. A thoughtful and relatively inexpensive gift.
But perhaps the best gift you can give a cheese lover is, well, cheese. Many online cheese retailers offer gift certificates, but few will get you as good a selection as New York's Artisanal, which can ship cheese to almost anywhere in the continental US. So even your great Aunt Martha can enjoy her Cowgirl Creamery Red Hawk, deep in the wilds of New Hampshire.
What cheesy gifts are on your Christmas list?

Weir describes this as one of his more "conceptual" pieces. "There's a conflict between the cannon, which has the sole purpose of destruction, and the soldier, whose soul is capable of both good and evil," he says.
Turn-of-the-century feminist Mother Jones struck Weir as a mythic character. "She seems shrouded in mysticism, full of mischief and hidden power," he says. "She's exactly the type of person that would burst into a flock of crows."
"He looks like an untrustworthy character and he's wearing an interesting hat, which looked like it should open up," Weir says of this photo of Krupp Von Bohlen. "My imagination latched onto that and took it from there."
Weir layered dozens of pictures to create the nature setting envisioned by the man on the left. "The original image is this crowded, chaotic urban scene," he says. "In the middle of what looks to me like a squad of firefighters, there's this guy who's staring off into his own world. He's looking up, wishing he were somewhere else."
"There are hundreds of boxing photographs in the archives and I usually skip past them, but I noticed a crack in the wall on this particular image that got me wondering about what could be going on in there," Weir says. "From there I got into the implications of a infinite boxing universes."
To embellish the original photograph of an empty street, Weir pulled in a pair of pedestrians from another photo. "I saw a face in the building," he says. "The storefront is a gaping mouth, waiting for passersby to let their guard down. I had to add the pedestrians so the building would have something to destroy."
Weir created subtle fog animation to set the mood for this piece. "This photograph initially stood out to me because it has such beautiful composition and really tells a story: the rubble in the foreground. The silhouetted ruins in the background. The impenetrable fog. I've read a lot of H.P. Lovecraft, and Cthulhu sprang into mind as the culprit for this devastation."
"This guy doesn't look like a priest but if he is, what kind of gods does he worship?" Weir says of the Russian church leader. "Could he be a pagan? He looks like a man of immense, ancient power."
Kevin Weir turns vintage photos, like this portrait of a Russian royal, into expressive animated .gifs. "To me, this guy looked like he's haunted by nightmare eyeballs," Weir says. "I decided to make his nightmares come true whenever he closes his eyes."
"When I looked at the building in this photograph, I saw a face," Weir says. "I wanted it to come to life."
When Photoshop wizard Kevin Weir spots a somber, 19th-century Russian man in the Library of Congress' Flickr archive, he sees more than a black-and-white photograph: He imagines a pagan who sprouts an outraged, bestial head when nobody's looking, then resumes his pose as a solid citizen.
That's just one vivid vision Weir has turned into an animated GIF, part of his ongoing series of vintage images transformed into absurdist portraits for the internet age.
"I just stare at the picture for a while and things start coming to me that I want to bring to life," he told Wired in a phone interview.
By adding a dash of dark secrets ripped from his imagination, Weir has turned animated GIFs — those blinking relics of early web imagery — into freakish, alt-history fantasies that call to mind Monty Python animations and H.P. Lovecraft's creatures.
Weir's not the only one doing interesting work in the formerly hackneyed medium: From classic comic books to Breaking Bad, various subjects have been reimagined as part of an ongoing animated GIF renaissance, fueled in part by the popularity of Tumblr.
"Animated GIFs in the '90s used to be kind of hokey."
"Animated GIFs in the '90s used to be kind of hokey," said Weir, who became obsessed with the looping visuals while cranking out banner ads last summer during an internship at a Los Angeles ad agency. But the technique of embedding a single image file with hidden "frames" timed to create the illusion of movement has become a promising artistic tool. "Because of faster, fatter internet pipelines," he said, "you can create much bigger, more interesting files."
Turned on by a friend to the Library of Congress' royalty-free photo stream, Weir trawls the site for pictures that appear ripe for his ingenious mini-movie morph jobs, which he posts on his Flux Machine Tumblr.
"I just look for great compositions and compelling characters," said Weir, a 23-year-old student working on a master's degree in advertising at Virginia's VCU Brandcenter.

I am pretty immune to extreme superlatives ..like; "First to 50." There's always someone who's going to climb K2 backwards without oxygen. (maybe it was an early lack of oxygen that gave them the idea..) But this is one helluva kite.
I keep hoping some small brand not caught in the middle-market inertia trap might bring us something that is an actual innovation. I had hopes Bruno's last effort would rub off on Eric in Cabarete, but sadly his last kite, the Ovando I bought was a disaster ..for me. Most of the other small brands seem to mimic big labels and rely on Parkour marketing or attractive pricing to chip a piece off North, Cabby, etc.. I wasted too much time on foils.
This kite does not have auto-inflation or lay out the lines itself, while I am selecting which color sunblock best matches my board. It launches like any other, uses 4-lines, has a traditional bar, yatta-yatta... It does excel at going upwind and is actually fast. It does not have the bottom end of a 14 but when 15kts comes - it takes off. Some of my kites are like oxen - they seem to pull very strong, but this seems noticeably fast. We have some sections of protected water and I could get going scary fast.
This bridle is the sort of thing I like. It's the first time I have seen someone rig their kite without copying everyone else. It works great. The canopy reminds me of half an A-10 wing in the sky. I am more than pleased with how responsive it is. I can flick it all over the sky easily. Another EH kite I like, the Ripper, was interesting, but now not so much ..after two sessions on this Hydra. It does not seem to be peaky like the Ripper. I read comments on the heavy bar, but I like manly kites. I like to know, in my hands, what the winds are doing.
I well learned the lesson; not to buy unknown kites new, so this was pretty well used before I got it. Doing that shows the weak points. It appears they picked the same contractor as J-N kites. The leading edge of this 2010 is constructed of that soft nylon that looses its sizing pretty quick - meaning you have to pump it harder than normal. Heavy bar action wants a sliding stopper to give you a break. It needs kook-proof line ends ..especially since that bridle is confusing at first look. (the lines are colored properly)
...but, I feel fortunate to have one of these kites. I cannot wait for my third session.

Leaving it to the bourgeois scholars to absorb themselves in discussion of the question of the superiority of one sex over the other, or in the weighing of brains and the comparing of the psychological structure of men and women, the followers of historical materialism fully accept the natural specificities of each sex and demand only that each person, whether man or woman, has a real opportunity for the fullest and freest self-determination, and the widest scope for the development and application of all natural inclinations. The followers of historical materialism reject the existence of a special woman question separate from the general social question of our day. Specific economic factors were behind the subordination of women; natural qualities have been a secondary factor in this process. Only the complete disappearance of these factors, only the evolution of those forces which at some point in the past gave rise to the subjection of women, is able in a fundamental way to influence and change their social position. In other words, women can become truly free and equal only in a world organised along new social and productive lines.
This, however, does not mean that the partial improvement of woman's life within the framework of the modern system is impossible. The radical solution of the workers' question is possible only with the complete reconstruction of modem productive relations; but must this prevent us from working for reforms which would serve to satisfy the most urgent interests of the proletariat? On the contrary, each new gain of the working class represents a step leading mankind towards the kingdom of freedom and social equality: each right that woman wins brings her nearer the defined goal of full emancipation. …
Social democracy was the first to include in its programme the demand for the equalisation of the rights of women with those of men; in speeches and in print the party demands always and everywhere the withdrawal of limitations affecting women; it is the party's influence alone that has forced other parties and governments to carry out reforms in favour of women. And in Russia this party is not only the defender of women in terms of its theoretical positions but always and everywhere adheres to the principle of women's equality. Continue reading

Sigurdsson, 22, had been linked with Swansea, where he was on loan last season, and the midfielder confirmed there was also strong interest from Liverpool, who are now managed by former Swans boss Brendan Rodgers. But Sigurdsson opted to move to White Hart Lane after a meeting with the Spurs' hierarchy.
"I enjoyed playing under Brendan and I am grateful for everything he has done for me, but after careful consideration I liked Spurs best," Sigurdsson told Icelandic website mbl.is.
"The team has world-class players in their ranks and they play good football, which I like.
"I was impressed with the club's plans for next season and the coming years. There is clearly great ambition at Tottenham and the club intends to do big things.
"It is a pleasure to see that Gareth Bale has signed a new contract. There are top players in the team and the club is getting a new training ground."
Sigurdsson joined Swansea on loan from Hoffenheim last season and netted seven times in 19 appearances for the Welsh side. Swansea had agreed a £6.8million fee, and personal terms with the player, but Rodgers' departure to Liverpool scuppered the deal.
The midfielder has already spoken to Andre Villas-Boas, who was named as Harry Redknapp's replacement on Tuesday, and is looking forward to working under the Portuguese.
"I like him and the ideas he has," Sigurdsson added. "He has faith in me and I'm looking forward to working under his leadership."

GENEVA (AP) -- Former soccer official Jack Warner claims FIFA gifted him $6 million toward a training center in Trinidad to support Sepp Blatter's first election as president in 1998.
Warner says a deal in May 1998 with then-FIFA President Joao Havelange ensured backing from the CONCACAF region for Blatter in what turned out to be a tight contest against Lennart Johansson.
"Blatter would never have seen the light of day as president of FIFA" without 30 CONCACAF votes, Warner said in a speech distributed to international media Friday.
It's the latest attack on FIFA since Warner promised a "tsunami" of revelations after the then-FIFA vice president was implicated in a bribery scandal while opposing Blatter's latest election two years ago.
Warner's claim details his ownership of the Trinidad center of excellence, now valued at $22.5 million. Last week, an integrity panel accused him of fraudulently managing the body running soccer in North and Central America and the Caribbean.
Warner spoke to his Trinidad constituents late on Thursday, days after resigning from the island's government amid the latest soccer scandal to implicate the longtime FIFA power broker.
He also published letters apparently showing Havelange agreed to convert FIFA's loan of $6 million into a donation to him and the Caribbean Football Union.
"I told Havelange that, through him, Blatter will get CONCACAF's total support," Warner said. "Blatter had been at this time the most hated FIFA official by both the European and African confederations.
"I was Blatter's idol then and he was mine."
Warner's version of saving the election for Blatter doesn't entirely match a widely reported account, which involves African delegates switching sides just ahead of the vote in Paris on June 8, 1998.
Johansson, then UEFA president, was expected to be a strong candidate in the election to replace Havelange based mainly on widespread support across Europe and Africa, and some voters in Asia.
The Swedish official declined to contest a second ballot required by FIFA election rules after Blatter had a 111-80 victory in the first.
British author David Yallop wrote in a book published in 1999 that up to 20 Africans were paid by Middle East interests to abandon their promised support for Johansson, which probably would have given him 100 votes and momentum to beat Blatter in the second ballot.
FIFA did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

David Lacker – Im Wunderschönen Monat Mai
I'm not a really a jazz guy, so when the new Galtta tape label sent me the first batch of four releases, I was a little hesitant. But every once in a while something special comes along and shows me what's up, like some of the Galtta tapes. Some of them were more straight jazz than the rest, but GALTTA-001, the split with David Lackner and John Swana was definitely weird enough for me to dig into and share with all yous.
David Lackner's side is packed with some wicked electronics, which gives it an automatic +10 in my book. It's super cool, not too ambitious or gaudy, and definitely made for couch melting. It does a killer job of keeping it nice & spacey, with radar echoes, arpeggiated bloops, lo-fi static buzzing, glitchy ambience, and robot love songs, conjuring sexy retro sci-fi chicks with white go-go boots & mod hair. There's also plenty of traditional horns, saxophones, drums, etc, but pulling in some surprises too. One of the tracks, "Study In Clutter" is so out there, with boy-girl Sesame Street vocals and a very solid almost tribal beat with lots of handclaps, flutes, and some numbers station samples. Yeah, I've heard that done to death but it really works well here. Lackner's tracks are pretty fucking rad and totally not your usual jazz fare. Wacky sounds abound on this side, giving me a reason to make a minimal http://www.cheapambienpriceonline.com '60s existential sci-fi throwback because Lackner would be so goddamn perfect for the score.
John Swana is normally a trumpet dude, but his side of Struttin' Around is completely lacking. Instead there's classic synthy Moogy electronics, definitely making me think of some of the first jazz synths like old Francis Bebey or something. Swana's style is similarly spacey to Lackner's, but a bit darker, maybe more ambient and New Agey. He does a lot of exploring, weeding through exotic alien jungles in the dark without worrying about deadly creatures lurking, stumbling upon a mythical nightclub, lit only by the glow of fluorescent insects, where the celebrities lounge in smokey decadence and John Swana is the house band. Totally pretentious, obviously, but still utterly desirable. Swana kills it every night with splayed electronics boards & the occasional piano/drum/whatever backup, crafting an intelligent weave of loopy melodies, dim crackle, magic sex, and blorpy atmospheres. Chill party CITY.
I doubt Swana's tunes always sound like this, and maybe Lackner also does some other more traditional shit, but the pairing of their sounds on this split is fucking grand. They just work so well together. And when you mix spacey electronics with jazz, I'm pretty much hooked. Galtta nailed it with their first release. Can't wait to see where they go from here. Major cool points: stream the whole tape on Bandcamp (or grab one of 200 limited copies for a mere $4).

GREAT Deal
" From the GREAT deal we got, to the $1,200 under KBB market asking price, the phone call to set up an apt and the $500 more for our trade in than another car dealer offered us, this was the best car buying experience we have ever had. We had Rick as our salesman. He was wonderful, not pushy answered all of our questions and made sure we were happy with the vehicle and within our monthly payment range. We met with the manager as well. He went over our monthly payment and showed us our options. They really wanted to make sure we were happy. We were crunched on time too. They got us in and out in a little over 2 hours, compared to 4 hours at other places. We drove our new vehicle home that day. We came back the next day to sign paperwork with Ally. She was also patient with us not pushy, explained everything as well. We knew exactly what we were paying and all of our warranty coverages and options. We highly recommend anyone looking to buy a vehicle to go see Jerry Hunt. They really are the best and deserve 5 stars and more !!! "
Awesome Customer Service
" So I went into Jerry Hunt on a Saturday figuring I'd be in there all day just because I knew how it worked in the past. However this was a totally different experience. I had checked out their inventory online the day before and told them I had a trade in that had negative equity in it. I completely forgot the woman's name I talked to about my car, but she was phenomenal as well. Man they went to the ends of the earth to make something happen. I could not have asked for a more wonderful experience. I have already recommended them to several people. If you want awesome customer service and great help and feeling like what you want matters, then Jerry Hunt Supercenter is the place to go! Ellis was the first person to greet me and it just got better from there. Go see Ellis, Hayden and Ally and see if you don't walk away the same way I did. Very much a new fan of this dealership and what they stand for. Oh and I was out in less than 4 hours! :) "
Absolutely Amazing
" Stephanie was absolutely amazing! You could tell she had my best interest at heart and genuinely cared about me and my family! She has continued to go out of her way to help me and make my life a little easier. I honestly can't say enough good things about her and Jerry Hunt SuperCenter. "
