Islamic State's Challenge to Free Speech
Read More.
The intensifying focus on terrorism, and on Islamic State in particular, poses a fresh challenge to the greatest American contribution to the theory and practice of free speech: the clear and present danger test. In both the U.S. and Europe, it's worth asking whether that test may be ripe for reconsideration.
As developed by Justices Oliver Wendell Holmes and Louis Brandeis in the first decades of the 20th century, the clear and present test ensures strong protection for almost all speech, forbidding the government from regulating speech unless the danger is both likely ("clear") and imminent ("present"). If a person were to say "The U.S. government should be overthrown" or "The more acts of terrorism, the better," or "All Muslims should join ISIS," she couldn't be punished unless those statements were likely to produce imminent lawless action.
As it is usually understood, that test protects a lot of dangerous speech, including many forms of recruitment and propaganda for terrorist purposes. Holmes himself issued a stern warning against "attempts to check the expression of opinions that we loathe and believe to be fraught with death."
It is important to appreciate that the clear and present danger test was accepted relatively recently. In their time, Holmes and Brandeis were dissenters; the Supreme Court didn't fully adopt their view until 1969. Both during and after World War I, the free speech principle was widely understood to allow the government to punish speech whenever it had a "bad tendency," meaning a tendency to produce harm.
As the court ruled in 1925, there would be no protection of speech whose "natural tendency and probable effect was to bring about the substantive evil which the legislative body might prevent." Under this test, of course, terrorist recruitment activity would not be protected.
As late as 1951, the Supreme Court allowed regulation of speech even when the danger was neither clear nor present. In Dennis v. United States, the court upheld a conviction of people trying to organize the Communist Party to overthrow the U.S. government. The justices refused to understand the clear and present danger test to "mean that, before the Government may act, it must wait until the putsch is about to be executed, the plans have been laid and the signal is awaited."
In words that could easily be repeated today, the court found it sufficient that the revolutionaries wanted to "strike when they thought the time was ripe." When the safety of the community was at grave risk, because of "an apparatus designed and dedicated to the overthrow of the Government, in the context of world crisis after crisis," the government could act to stop horrific harm, even if it was neither likely nor imminent.
One of the greatest and most influential judges in U.S. history, with the unlikely name of Learned Hand, also rejected the clear and present danger test. He believed that the free speech principle didn't protect explicit or direct incitement to violence, even if no harm was imminent. If you're merely agitating for change, the government cannot proceed against you, but if you're expressly inciting people to commit murder you aren't protected by the Constitution.
Hand preferred his approach to the clear and present danger test, which he thought squishy. By contrast, he defended his exemption of incitement as a "qualitative formula, hard, conventional, difficult to evade."
For decades, the court has shown zero interest in Hand's formula. Most people have regarded the Dennis decision as an epic blunder, a product of the Red Scare, not to be taken seriously in a free society. Brandeis offered the best reason: "If there be time to expose through discussion the falsehood and fallacies, to avert the evil by the processes of education, the remedy to be applied is more speech, not enforced silence." In his view, "Only an emergency can justify repression."
It's an excellent thought, and it's usually right. But is it convincing as applied to the recruitment and propaganda efforts of terrorist organizations? To their efforts on social media, which can dramatically amplify the capacity of speech in one place to cause violence elsewhere at some uncertain time? What if more speech doesn't work, and the result is that dozens, hundreds, or thousands of people are killed?
True, there may be value in even the most extreme and hateful forms of speech: At the very least, people can learn what other people believe. But it's fair to ask whether that benefit might be dwarfed by the cost, if those forms of speech create a genuine risk of large numbers of deaths. Hand himself argued that his narrow definition of incitement avoids subjectivity and overreach, and that it can't be abused by the government to silence dissenters and unpopular causes.
To minimize the danger to free speech, it might be best to combine Hand's approach with a form of balancing: If (and only if) people are explicitly inciting violence, perhaps their speech doesn't deserve protection when (and only when) it produces a genuine risk to public safety, whether imminent or not. That approach would essentially retain the high level of protection that is now given to political speech and dissent of all kinds.
In free societies, it's almost always a bad idea to punish speech. But at the very least, the argument for the clear and present danger test is not quite as clear as it once was -- and it might not be so well-suited to the present.

Roasted Zucchini Parmesan
So, you may remember my lament over the lack of zucchini from my dad's garden this summer. I had all this inspiration of the many things I was going to make with zucchini this summer, and when he told me early on that the plants were done, I think I must have gone into conserve mode and mentally stashed those ideas and recipes away. Well, a friend gave me a zucchini from her garden. My dad gave me a couple more. My sister gave me her last three. But, while this should have resurrected my inspiration, it was long gone. So, instead of being overjoyed and exuberant over my good fortune and plethora of zucchini, I found myself at a loss for what to do with all this zucchini. I resorted to shredding one and making a zucchini pound cake which is just not in my nature to make willingly. Anyway, summer is way over and I still have 3--count them, 3!--zucchini in my pantry, threatening to rot before I turn them into something marvelous.
And then it hit me. I needed to make zucchini Parmesan. You know, like eggplant Parmesan? Only with zucchini. Score. Done deal. I can always go for garlic- and basil-infused meals.
A sidenote: I think that this would have just pushed me over the top if my zucchini would have been the freshest of fresh. Alas, however, it was still delightful.
Roasted Zucchini Parmesan
A Karla-Original, inspired by Annie's Eats
1 large zucchini, or several small ones
1 cup flour
3/4 cup plain bread crumbs
3 eggs
1/3 cup milk
Parmesan cheese (can you have too much of this?)
at least 2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese (again, the cheesier the merrier!)
olive oil, for greasing the baking sheets
For tomato sauce:
1 onion, diced
1 small carrot, peeled and chopped fine
1/2 tsp. oregano
3-4 garlic cloves, pressed or chopped
2 cans diced tomatoes, undrained
salt and pepper to taste
1 bay leaf
1 tbl. sugar
3 tbl. unsalted butter
1 large handful of fresh basil, snipped
2 tsp. grated Parmesan cheese
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
In a medium shallow bowl, combine the flour and the bread crumbs. Set aside. In another small bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Set aside.
Slice zucchini into 1/4-in. slices. Dip each slice into the egg mixture then coat both sides in the flour/bread crumb mixture. Place each coated zucchini slice onto a rimmed baking sheet that has been coated in olive oil. When all zucchini slices are prepared, bake in preheated oven until zucchini is well-browned and crisp, about 30 minutes, rotating baking sheets after 10 minutes and flipping the slices after 10 more minutes. Do not turn off oven when zucchini is done roasting.
While zucchini is roasting, prepare the tomato sauce. In a medium saucepan, drizzle the bottom with some olive oil; heat. Add the onion, carrot, and oregano and saute until tender. Add garlic and saute 30 seconds more. Add the tomatoes with their liquid and salt and pepper to taste. Add bay leaf and sugar and simmer gently to let flavors blend, about 15-20 minutes. Add butter and let melt; stir to incorporate. Off heat. Add snipped basil leaves and Parmesan cheese and stir to combine.
To assemble, pour some of the sauce on bottom of a 9x13 baking dish to cover the bottom. Place one layer of zucchini slices on top of sauce. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese and sprinkle some Parmesan cheese. Add more sauce. Repeat zucchini layer, followed by cheese, sauce, and finish with a final layer of cheese.
Bake uncovered, until sauce is bubbly and cheese is browned, about 13-15 minutes. Cool 10 minutes, scatter any remaining basil you might have over the top and cut into squares to serve.

I understand a lot of people aren't to fond of me for being a cynical dickhead when I was a staff member but I would like to apologize for any wrong doing or hateful comments that came your way as a result of my ignorance, I've seen a lot of not so nice things said about me but I would just like you all to know that even during my ban duration (Roughly 2 in a half years for Excessive Trolling) I still frequently brought traffic to this site by word of mouth and making this website better has always been something that I'm passionate about. I think the information we find on this site should always be free and that's why I've always found this site to be more admirable then others for just that reason. I can't remember exactly but I recall resigning because another Minion was approving malicious content and I found it disgusting to even be associated with said person. I didn't resign because I think I'm better then anyone for that matter, or do I think I'm smarter. I was upset and used childish antics to verbally abuse others to get my point across which was wrong; and if you were one of the people affected I am truly sorry. I do not hate anyone, nor do I hold any grudges against anyone. If you would like to work out our differences or simply need help please message me as I would love nothing more.

Camper vans are a common sight on Australian roads but there are a few who shouldn't be on the road.
It has nothing to do with the condition of the motor, but instead the offensive slogan painted all over it.
Soon in Queensland commercial operators who refuse to remove offensive slogans from their vehicles will have their registrations cancelled.
Qld Main Roads and Road Safety Minister Mark Bailey said legislative changes passed with bipartisan support by the Parliament, showed the government had listened and acted on long-standing community concerns about inappropriate advertising on vehicles.
"With this legislation, vehicles registered in Queensland displaying sexist, obscene or otherwise offensive advertising may face having their registration cancelled," Mr Bailey said.
"These plans were announced in July last year and were supported by RACQ, Advertising Standards Bureau and the peak advertising industry body, the Australian Association of National Advertisers.
"This strikes the right balance between firm and fair – if the Advertising Standards Board (the Board) determines that an ad on a Queensland registered vehicle needs to be removed or modified, the registration holder will have a chance to make those changes.
"If those changes aren't made, the registration of the offending vehicle will be cancelled, simple as that.
"Rather than ignore Board determinations, as has sometimes been the case in the past, registered operators now have a good reason to make the required changes and fall in line with community expectations."
The Transport Operations (Road Use Management) (Offensive Advertising) Amendment Bill 2016 came about after extensive co-operation between the Department of Justice and the Attorney-General, the Department of Transport and Main Roads, and the ASB.
The new laws are expected to be in force by March 31.
What do you think of the law change? Do you think the sayings are OK?
Love to Travel?
Have you signed up for Travel at 60's VIP Hot Deals Club yet?
Get holidays tailored to the dreams and bucket lists of over 60's from the best suppliers in the country.
This will only affect vehicles registered in Queensland. If you take a look at one particular company which is notorious for offensive slogans you will see that they are registered in a State other than Qld, so I don't believe this legislation will have much of an affect on them. For this to be more effective the Qld Premier will have to try and convince the other States to enact the same legislation.
Very misleading story as it is really only revering to one state and mostly one company. Not too sure if I have ever seem an RV driven by an over 60s person with anything offensive written on it.
Also none of the RVs in the photo can be driven in Australia as they are left hand drive!
Not a great selection from the file photo library.
This is another area where the law in question needs to be initiated at Federal level rather than State, the same as registration, licensing etc on a national database. Having moved so many times aorund this wonderful country, kids changing schools to different curriculum-how about standardising! Oh I forget-they are not competent enough to do that.
Bit of a silly article this time I'm afraid, especially as it only refers to vehicles in one State, and really applies to only a very small percentage of road users – young people who think they are being very adventurous and brave, showing these signs! Even the photo of the blue van wasn't particularly relevant, I mean, what was so offensive about that message, (or am I missing something). No, this appears to be a case of trying to make a mountain out of a molehill, as far as Starts at Sixty is concerned – a non-story being elevated, unsuccessfully!
The difference being that you are warned before entering a theatre about what you are about to see and a magazine will carry a warning on it's cover. These slogans are there for all the world to see, without warning. This means anyone who can read including children. That which makes me smile may be inappropriate for a child.
For some reason the screen is not allowing me to reply to anyone's individual posts …. I just want to point out that some of the slogans in question are trying to be funny about such serious issues as child sexual abuse and violence against women. I just wish someone would take their own spray can to these vans and paint over the offensive rubbish the company concerned seems to think is ok.

Wrangler Arizona Stretch Jeans rinsewash
Wrangler Men's Jeans
Art.No.: W12OXG023
Details on Wrangler Arizona Stretch Jeans rinsewash
The Wrangler Arizona rinsewash stretch jeans feature modern and classic cut that makes them perfect with a wide range of casual men's outifts. Wrangler's five pocket design has a trendy straight leg and a regular waist. The zipper fly is very high quality and is made to last. These fashionable jeans are made from the finest quality cotton denim and are manufactured to very high quality standards so they will last.
History of Wrangler Jeans
Wrangler Jeans are known the world over for their dedication to style, comfort and durability. With a focus on the premium aspects of denim products for fashionable leisurewear, the company continues to make the best use of original designs for the more discerning customer. The American brand has a long and distinguished history stretching back to the mid 1940's. Back in those days, Wrangler was a little known brand name belonging to the company Casey Jones Work-Clothes Company. However, its fate changed significantly when Casey-Jones was bought by rival company Blue Bell.
Blue Bell acquired the rights to Wrangler and in 1946 held a competition to find the best name for a new line of cowboy-style jeans. Wrangler was the selected name and has been synonymous with the rodeo cowboy style ever since. The company began its history of innovation and classic standards of design with the Wrangler 11MWZ range. These cowboy influenced items were aimed at customers interested in the rodeo style and look. They included new features such as rear pockets, reinforced rivets, a zipper fly and strongly durable seams and stitching. In 1962, Blue Bell opened a factory in Belgium and launched their Wrangler Jeans throughout Europe. They quickly became quite the success, with the jeans evolving into a favourite of style-conscious customers everywhere.
The following years saw the jeans become ever more popular, with the comfort and stylistic flexibility of the items firmly establishing itself as a trademark for fashion loving crowds throughout the world. This steady growth in success reached a landmark point in the mid-1990s with the news that 1 in every 5 pairs of jeans sold in America is a pair of Wranglers. 1997 saw the 50th anniversary of the first Wrangler product, and a celebratory pair based on the original 11MWZ was introduced to wide acclaim. By 2004 Wrangler had been recognised as a premium denim brand by 22 European countries. To recognise this fact, as well as 100 years in the business linked to Blue Bell, Wrangler brought out the limited edition Blue Bell model. Wrangler continues to create carefully designed jeans incorporating the optimum levels of style, comfort and sharp looks. With a truly global reach and unique view of just what makes denim wearers tick, Wrangler looks set to be top of the denim world for many years to come!

The Kherwadi police have registered a first information report (FIR) in connection with the mysterious disappearance of 57 files from the office of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the last few days.
The case was registered after FDA commissioner Purushottam Bhapkar submitted a written application at the Kherwadi police station asking them to conduct an inquiry. The missing files are said to have contained reports on raids conducted by the FDA on various drug manufacturing companies, sample medicines and chemist inspections in the last couple of years.
Virendra Mishra, deputy commissioner of police zone 8, said, "A case has been registered. We have been recording the statements of the officials concerned from the FDA to conduct an inquiry."
After the incident came to light, Bhapkar has made it mandatory that each and every file in the department be registered online.
An internal inquiry was conducted soon after senior officers in the department noticed the missing files. "It was revealed that two officers of the rank of assistant commissioner had a role to play in the disappearance of the files," said a senior FDA official on the condition of anonymity.
While both officers were issued a show-cause notice, the FDA has approached the police department to register an FIR and conduct a proper inquiry, the official added.
A file going missing is a serious offence and it appears that someone from the department has hidden the files to benefit a guilty party, he said.

Lorna Gail and I took off at about noon and drove up to Progreso and turned west before we hit town. That way we could go over that incredible new bridge with the magnificent views. It's got to be the highest spot in northern Yucatan. After driving around this flat countryside, it is a great experience to cross this bridge. You feel like you're in an airplane. LG bravely snapped a few pictures out the window because I was sure that if I tried to do it, I'd lose control and go soaring into the sky.
We drove through Chelem, Chuburna and other little towns, stopping in Chuburna to get coconuts. The guy took a machete and sliced off the top and then made a hole in it. He cut part of the husk off of the bottom and the sides so the coconut formed a workable drinking vessel. We each contentedly sipped cold coconut milk through a straw.
About ten minutes after the last town, we came to the place where one of the hurricanes destroyed the road and took away a chunk of land, forming a new channel in to the mangrove swamps. You're driving along an excellent road at about 50 mph and suddenly, after a little dip (so you can't see it), the road ends. If you kept going, you'd be in the lovely turqoise Gulf of Mexico. No sign of course.
We backtracked to the southbound road not far away. On the way down, there were lots of nopal cactus. We picked some of the fruit, locally called "tuna," (or prickly pear) and LG skinned it. After LG smeared some of the purple juice on her mouth to enhance her already glamorous look, we each ate slices of the fruit.
It was pretty good except the tuna had thousands of tiny needle-like spines that embedded themselves in our mouths and tongues. I guess it's worth it, because nopal is supposed to cure everything from diabetes to stomach aches.
The drive south is interesting – much nicer than using the highway between Merida and Progreso. The part of the road near the coast is surrounded by a lot of water. On previous trips, I've seen thousands of birds there. This time we saw a few shorebirds and a small number of flying flamingos.
We drove through a few villages with restored haciendas that I think are available for rental – large parties, weddings, etc. I went to a wedding at a hacienda a few years ago and it was lovely. Such beautiful buildings. There were several neat, small towns, with fruit trees and stone walls painted white. My favorite place name in this area is Chichi Suarez (a town). I don't really want to know what it means – I just like the way it sounds.We ended up in Dzitya, not far from Merida. In this town, they cut stone and make elegant tubs, sinks, pillars and other items for your home. The handworked products are gorgeous and not cheap. Dzitya was having its annual much-heralded crafts fair, which was as disappointing as ever. Dozens and dozens of booths selling manufactured items (some from China!). There were a few nice displays – wooden bowls and kitchen stuff, good looking honey and honey products, lined henequen bags, nice needlework, but nothing you don't see in Merida.
I am always surprised at the lack of imagination in the crafts that are for sale in Yucatan. It isn't that there aren't artists, it's just that the wholesalers, or whomever is responsible for getting trinkets to market, have presented us with the same stuff year after year. There's a woman in town named Joan Farrell who has put together an ambitious group of people who go into villages looking for real artists. They've found some incredible things and twice a year they have a sale in some large Merida venue. The artists are all there and a lot of them will make things to order
That was pretty much the end of our jaunt. It was terribly hot, but we trudged past every single booth at the fair, leaving just as the ear-splitting amps were being prepped for a concert.

Discussion in 'Colorado Football Message Board' started by sackman, Nov 19, 2011.
I'm glad I saw it coming and didn't drive 6 hours down there for another disappointment.
Seriously, if this is the type of effort they are going to put out on the road, we need to just forfeit all of our away games and save the travel costs. Really pathetic.
Weak, very weak. No heart,pride or toughness.
Ya....beginning to wonder whether we will ever dig ourselves out. Horrible effort.
it's a lack of confidence. you can see it on their faces, especially on defense. they don't expect to win.
can we play a fcs team on the road... like at greeley... i think we can probably win that one...
Body language was very telling. Before we finished the first quarter you could tell we had no chance....Both sides of the ball had 0 confidence.
Are you sure bout that?
Embarrassing effort.
Did we play on the road?
Team went through the motions. Poor reflection on the players and this coaching staff.
Why is it different on the road?
thank hawkins
wish we had O (oregon) confidence - oh, you ment zero
The extra-point play summed up how far we've grown this season, how we're taking those giant leaps to that next level. No other single play seemed more telling.
So many threads in which to post. This one seems appropriate.
EB's offensive game plan and lack of adjustment, mostly the latter, was horrible.
JE's clock management, or lack thereof, at the end of the first half was ridiculous.
Tyler Hansen, God bless him, was awful.
Do you think Tyler's skills deteriorated or was his psyche harmed (or perhaps "unfortified") by his first years here? I can't decide. "Going thru the motions" and "Knows he's the only choice" occurs to me when I see him, uh, play. I'll use that term - can't always decide on a more appropriate one because some are completely negative.
My kid goes to CU. They see a lot of players at various parties. My kid was saying, last night, that a lot of guys on the team party way too much and are just living the BMOC life. On Hansen, my son and his friends say he is very "soft" and not in good shape. In other words, he doesn't look like he works very hard.
Thanks, that's my personal observation but I still wonder where this started. "I give up and I'm going to enjoy my life here as best I can" is one possible answer. I'm not sure how JE will approach 'camp' next year, whether a threat to next year's seniors will be to let them lead the cushy life they've grown so accustomed to, or drive them out, or make them live one season of toughness, in hopes of impressing incoming recruits. At some point, old weeds are chopped so new growth starts clean, or life at the bottom is championed for another four seasons.
All this talk about changing the attitude is starting to annoy me. You change the attitude by winning, pure and simple. You don't change the attitude first, then try to win. That's what Hawk tried, and he failed miserably. Instead of trying to change the mentality of the players, I think JE needs to start worrying about winning games.
I agreed with your whole post, but especially on this one. No idea what the **** was going on there, but he looked lost.
I'll tell you what was going on there - we couldn't score to save our lives and JE knew it. He was trying to help the game end a little sooner.
Separate names with a comma.

One of the linchpins of the UAW's latest agreement with GM was the automaker's promise to build new vehicles at its Spring Hill, Tennessee, plant. Today GM made good on that promise, announcing it will build the Chevrolet Equinox at Spring Hill initially, with production of new midsize cars to follow soon after. In order to crank up production, GM also announced it will be making two separate investments totaling more than $244 million and creating around 1881 jobs to get the plant's assembly lines running again.GM's initial investment in the ex-Saturn plant –- now known as Spring Hill Flex Assembly — will total $61 million, mainly to get the Equinox line up and running. GM will not be moving all Equinox production to Spring Hill; rather it will be supplementing the current Canadian production line (where the GMC Terrain is also built) with the new capability. GM says the Equinox has been so popular that it has had to increase production capacity three times since its debut in 2009. The $61 million investment is set to create 594 hourly jobs and 91 salaried positions at Spring Hill by the time Equinox production kicks off in the second half of 2012.GM's second investment at the Spring Hill complex will be for future midsized vehicle production. While GM is currently mum on what exactly that midsized vehicle will be, our best guess at this point would be something like the next Impala. GM's second Spring Hill investment will be a large one, with an outlay of around $183 million to ramp up midsize car production. The $183 million investment is expected to create 1090 hourly jobs and 106 salaried positions.No timeline has yet been announced for the second investment. The Spring Hill Assembly Plant currently produces the current line of Ecotec four-cylinder engines and is capable of producing the next-generation of Ecotec engines as well.Source: GM Share this article in: Facebook Twitter Google Plus Email GM Investing Big in Spring Hill Plant to Build Chevy Equinox, Midsize Cars /5 Advertisement to Skip 1|5 2|5 3|5 4|5 5|5

Harold Plenderleith was Keeper of the British Museum Research Laboratory from 1949 to 1959, and first director of the International Centre for the Study of the Preservation and Restoration of Cultural Property in Rome (now known as Iccrom) from 1959 to 1971.
He had been recruited in 1924 by the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research to work, under the direction of Alexander Scott FRS, in a small laboratory established five years previously at the British Museum to investigate the causes of the deterioration of certain types of museum objects during wartime storage in underground railway tunnels.
In the 1920s he was involved with Howard Carter on the scientific analysis of finds from the tomb of Tutankhamun and in the 1920s and 1930s with the analysis and conservation of Sir Leonard Woolley's finds from the excavations at Ur of the Chaldees. His first 10 years of museum experience led to the publication of his book The Preservation of Antiquities in 1934. The Conservation of Prints, Drawings and Manuscripts followed in 1937 and The Preservation of Leather Bookbindings in 1946.
Plenderleith's early years were difficult as Scott was rarely present and the laboratory was ruled by a former retainer of his called Ernest Padgham. However, in 1931 the laboratory was transferred from SDIR to the British Museum and Plenderleith became an assistant keeper; he was promoted to deputy keeper in 1938.
In the 1930s international co-operation in the field of museum conservation was gathering pace, with Plenderleith playing an ever-increasing role. The League of Nations established an International Museum Office which organised conferences in Rome (1930), Athens (1931), Paris (1933) and Madrid (1934) to discuss the conservation of works of art, antiquities and monuments. Plenderleith was present at Paris and Madrid and was joint editor of a manual on the conservation of paintings which derived from these meetings. However, this co-operation came to an abrupt end with war in Europe. Even the first specialised journal devoted to this field, to which Plenderleith contributed several papers, Technical Studies in the Field of Fine Arts, published by the Fogg Art Museum at Harvard University, ceased publication in 1942.
Harold Plenderleith was born in 1898, the eldest of four children of an art teacher at the Harris Academy in Dundee and the daughter of a medical missionary in New Zealand. He was educated at the Harris Academy, where he won the Dux Medal in his final year, and then went up to the University College of St Andrews in 1916 to read science. He left after two terms to go to Officer Training School, hoping then to join a Highland regiment. He found himself, however, gazetted second lieutenant to the Lancashire Fusiliers, who, as Plenderleith himself once said with a grin, "needed stiffening with Scots officers".
He served on the Western Front from 1 August 1917, being wounded in the arm by shrapnel at Ypres, and awarded an MC for a successful night raid across no man's land to knock out a pill-box and take prisoners. He returned to university after convalescence, but this time at University College, Dundee, and graduated BSc in 1920 and PhD in 1923.
Plenderleith was too old for war service in 1939 (although his batman from 1917-18 wrote to say that he would like to be his servant again), but he played a key role in saving the British Museum collections from bombing by working with the Director, Sir John Forsdyke, to get as much as possible away to safety in various country houses and a slate quarry in Wales.
This time round, however, thanks to the work of Harold Plenderleith, much more was known about the optimum storage conditions for antiquities so that the "safe" destinations were not only safe from bombing but safe from the point of view of the environment. Plenderleith was later to record in a lecture delivered at the British Museum in November 1978 to mark his 80th birthday that "all the antiquities came back this time in perfect condition".
With the cessation of hostilities, Plenderleith became involved in the examination and conservation (by Herbert Maryon and Herbert Batten) of the finds from the Anglo- Saxon royal ship burial excavated at Sutton Hoo, near Woodbridge, in August 1939 and then quickly "reburied" in the Aldwych tube for the duration. Many of the objects have since been reconserved to better effect, but this does not diminish the contribution made to our understanding of the ship and the king who was buried in it which was made by this trio.
One of their "mistakes" was to restore the pair of silver-mounted drinking horns on the basis of measurements made on the skull of an aurochs, the prehistoric wild cattle of Europe, at the Natural History Museum. They were unaware, however, that the aurochs had undergone a dramatic reduction in size during the last glaciation, so that by Anglo-Saxon times the horns were more modest in size. The drinking horns have since been re- restored and reduced in size from a volume of 12 pints to four, with a consequent reduction in our admiration for the bibulous capacity of our forebears.
In 1947 Plenderleith was invited by the Dutch government to be part of the commission of inquiry into the van Meegeren affair. Henricus van Meegeren had been accused of collaboration with the enemy for selling a painting by "Vermeer" to Hermann Goering, but van Meegeren's defence was that he had sold Goering a fake that he had painted himself. However, he also had to reveal that he had sold fakes to Dutch museums and collectors, so he was charged with fraud instead of collaboration.
Some of those members of the Dutch art world who had been deceived refused to co- operate, and a panel of international experts was invited to inquire into how van Meegeren had managed to create the paintings. Plenderleith felt sorry for van Meegeren, giving him cigarettes during the interrogation, and himself failing to see how anybody could have been fooled by the paintings, which had been made to look old with a false "patina" created using modern synthetic resins.
Plenderleith was appointed Keeper of the British Museum Research Laboratory in 1949 and published The Conservation of Antiquities and Works of Art in 1956 (a second edition, prepared with A.E.A. Werner, appeared in 1971). He was one of the founding fathers of the International Institute for the Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works and its first honorary treasurer (from 1950 to 1958). He became a vice-president in 1958, and President from 1965 to 1968.
Under Plenderleith's vigorous leadership, the British Museum Research Laboratory branched out after the war into Carbon 14 dating and developed the scientific examination of antiquities by acquiring a battery of analytical instruments for the rapid analysis of metals, pigments, ceramics and gemstones.
Plenderleith had, by this time, become an international figure, much in demand as a lecturer and consultant and it was no surprise, therefore, when he was invited by Unesco in 1959 to be the first director of its new International Centre for the Study of the Preservation and Restoration of Cultural Property in Rome. He spent 12 years there, developing teaching courses and travelling the world on advisory missions, until final retirement, to Dundee, in 1971.
Harold Plenderleith was a big man with a broad Scots accent, of which he was proud. He was universally liked, and regarded as the doyen of museum conservators right up until his death. He gave his services instinctively, being a member of the Scientific Advisory Committee of the National Gallery for 46 years and its chairman from 1944 to 1958, Professor of Chemistry at the Royal Academy of Arts from 1936 to 1958, and Rhind lecturer at Edinburgh in 1954.
In 1987 he attended the Jubilee Conference of the Institute of Archaeology of London University and its proceedings were dedicated to him, as were those of a British Museum conference in 1988, the year in which his former colleagues around the world celebrated his 90th birthday with a manuscript book of reminiscences. As recently as November 1995 he was in Rome to receive a bronze bust by the sculptor Peter Rockwell, which will stand in the new laboratories at Iccrom which will bear his name, and in September 1996 he travelled to Edinburgh to receive a specially struck silver medal from the Conservation Committee of the International Council of Museums which was holding its triennial conference.
Within the space of half an hour he received three standing ovations from 600 conservators, many of whom were not even born when he retired from the British Museum.Reuse content

<<We have been asked to design a foundation for a 200-foot high, 20-foot diameter stack. Can anyone give me any "watch out for's" or direct me towards any reference information.>>
From your email I assume that someone else is doing the actual stack design. I presume that he has provided design forces at the base of the stack for your use as well as an anchor bolt layout.
There is a good section on circular/hexagonal footings in the footing chapter of the "Handbook of Concrete Engineering", Mark Fintel et al. I used their method to get soil pressures for the design of a stack foundation similar to yours 7 or 8 years ago. Worked well. My copy of the book is dated 1974. If you'd like a photo copy of the relevant sections please contact me offline.
I use a limit states code for design so the overturning moment (wind) is multiplied by 1.5 and the resisting moment (dead load) is multiplied by 0.85. The "factor of safety" would be 1.5/0.85 = 1.76.
I check the soil bearing pressure at specified (allowable) load levels and design the footing based on soil pressures at factored load levels.
Footing design is pretty standard but on a larger scale.
Can't answer your "heat" question off the top of my head. You may want to consider low heat of hydration cement but you'll need more knowledgeable advice than I can give.
Hope this helps.

The Military Death Benefits Outrage
Obama has chosen to make these families suffer.
Check it out:
So it's another classic example of, I think, utter incompetence. And, if it's not incompetence, then it is shamefully purposeful, and that is the denial of death benefits to these veterans killed in action. Fox did a report last night, brought home caskets that are fork lifted into a rented transport cargo plane. They can't bring 'em back because of the government shutdown. We don't have the money for it and so forth, and the families didn't get death benefits, and Obama says, "Well, I'm gonna fix it now. I'm gonna go fix it."
The idea that it happens in the first place, and the idea that these illegal aliens can have the National Mall open for them to attend a rally demanding amnesty, while at the same time the National Mall is closed to American citizens. Folks, I'm gonna tell you, all of these events, they're in the news, and the media's doing stories, but they're just perfunctory. I don't think the people reporting these stories have any idea the way they're being reacted to, particularly outside of Washington. This business of closing the National Mall, closing the World War II memorial, not allowing World War II vets or anybody else on the grounds of the memorial because of the government shutdown, and we don't have any money for it.
And then the pro-amnesty people get a waiver or an exemption, and they get to use the park. Illegal aliens, not citizens, are permitted to show up and conduct a rally and protest demanding citizenship on the spot, demanding amnesty, this is the kind of thing people out in the country hear about, this is so uncomplicated. This does not require ideology to understand. This does not require one to be a Democrat or a Republican and to abandon those loyalties to understand that this is not right. This is the kind of thing I think that just infuriates people. You see the president's approval rating today is at 37%. Maybe you haven't seen that. It hasn't been reported anywhere. Well, I take it back. It is reported deep in an AP story, which has as its headline: "Republicans Blamed for Shutdown."
The president of the United States with an approval rating of 37%. George Bush's low was 36, back in 2006. And they couldn't stop reporting that. We played for you earlier the Wolf Blitzer breathless three-hour effort to report that. And it gets a scant mention in an AP story. But out there, outside what's known as the Beltway, this is not sitting well, and the same thing with the death benefits being denied military families. This is not pretty and the president knows it.

Before he was born, did President Barack Obama's parents consider giving up their child-to-be for adoption?
This is the question posed in a biography of the Kenyan father of the President, which will be published next week: The Other Barack: the Bold and Reckless Life of President Obama's Father, by Sally Jacobs, a journalist on The Boston Globe newspaper.
The crucial passage is in a 1961 memo by an official at the office of the US Immigration Service in Honolulu where Barack Senior and Ann Dunham, the President's mother had met as students at the University of Hawaii. "Subject got his USC wife 'Hapai' [Hawaiian for pregnant] and although they were married they do not live together and Ms Dunham is making arrangements with the Salvation Army to give the baby away," said the memo which details an interview held when Mr Obama applied for a visa extension.
President Obama, in his Dreams from My Father, notes hypothetically that it would have made sense for his parents to have considered adoption, given the challenge of raising a mixed-race child born before civil rights legislation.
But, according to Robert Gibbs, Mr Obama's long-time former spokesman, his boss was "absolutely convinced" that his mother had never raised the matter with the Salvation Army.Reuse content

I've been having trouble with the "Cap is a Nazi" story. Not the in-comics story itself, really, but the real-world response to it. I started writing this post a while back but got derailed by life. With the release of Secret Empire #0 and a few prologue tie-ins today, it seemed like an apt time to revisit. In addition to the zero issue kicking off the big event, I also bought and read Captain America: Steve Rogers #16, Thunderbolts #12, and U.S.Avengers #5.
There are some spoilers for those books below (including the seemingly major revelation from the prologue to Secret Empire #0 which I spoil in the very next paragraph), but the main point is me trying to grasp the reaction to the overall event.
Also, a caveat: with the exception of those four comics, I'm six months behind on the story, because I've been following via Marvel Unlimited. So I may well be literally missing something crucial that appeared clearly on-panel in a comic from that six-month gap.
The recap as I understand it goes something like this: when Kobik, the child-like personification of the Cosmic Cube, rejuvenated an elderly Steve Rogers, she actually rewrote his entire history in a way that was shaped (unbeknownst to Cap) by the Red Skull. The crucial What If…? deviation sees Rogers' mother brought into a Hydra cell in World War 2, which in turn puts young Steve into their clutches and lets them shape him as the ultimate sleeper agent. Secret Empire #0 further clarifies that in 1945, Hydra hid Steve–by then established as Captain America, pretty much the ultimate sleeper agent–in a magic pool to protect him when the Allies (allegedly) used a crude Cosmic Cube to rewrite reality so they, not Hydra, won the war. (The main point of that reveal SEEMS to be, as far as I can tell, to explain how Cap has completely different memories from everyone else in the Marvel Universe.)
Secret Empire, it appears, will be the story of what happens when Cap reveals his true allegiance to the Marvel Universe of 2017.
Previously on Baxter Building: The bloom has fallen off the rose for the John Byrne era of Fantastic Four, it has to be said. After an initial run of issues that got Jeff and I both excited, the series has fallen into a rut that undersells the genuine highlights of Byrne's skills. Will things turn around this time out?
0:00:00-0:01:47: We were apparently so excited to get into these issues, we have the very briefest of introductions this episode. We're covering Fantastic Four #261-270, which seems a lot of upheaval for the team, and a fill-in issue that I totally misunderstood. But we'll get there soon enough.
0:01:48-0:16:35: You can perhaps tell how things are going to go when Jeff and I spend far too much time discussing Namor making out with Sue Richards and whether or not Uatu the Watcher is, as I describe him, "the greatest cosmic enabler in comics," as opposed to talking about the actual plot of Fantastic Four #261. Clearly we don't care that much about the rate of Reed Richards. (Although, given the time we spend talking about how Chris Claremont was the accidental instigator for this storyline, we equally as clearly do care about behind-the-scenes comics gossip. So it goes.)
0:16:36-0:41:41: With the Assistant Editor Month FF #262, John Byrne takes the opportunity to turn the book into The John Byrne Show for an issue, complete with a wonderfully passive aggressive dig at Chris Claremont as delivered by… himself. "It's kind of a wacky issue," I say, which might be an understatement, but we talk about the differences between Jack Kirby and John Byrne's ideas of upping the ante, and Jeff comes up with a much better way of doing this exact story, which just so happens to build upon events of the previous issue in a more satisfying manner. As Jeff puts it, this is "a good Marvel comic in the way you mean it in a disparaging way."
0:41:42-1:02:49: The two-parter in Fantastic Four #s 263-264 cause a schism in Team Baxter Building, as I think that they're kind of shitty, but Jeff thinks that they're — in his exact words — "really enjoyably shitty." On the plus side, believers of Neal Adams' theories of the evolution of our planet will find much to love in the scheme of "The Messiah," while believers that Walt Disney was secretly an evil overlord are likely to be just as thrilled. (Jeff falls into one of those two camps, but I won't spoil which one for you.) Mr. Lester also explains the appeal of appreciating the small stuff, when it comes to John Byrne's work, while I get upset about a macro disappointment: that the final issue of the "regular" FF before She-Hulk replaces the Thing doesn't feature the group together at any point.
1:02:50-1:10:43: An attempt to segue into Fantastic Four #265 goes awry, as we take a detour into the continuity of The Thing around this era of Marvel publishing, and I talk about what's been happening in that title and the way in which it's pretty much been More Fantastic Four, Kind Of for the first ten issues of its run.
1:10:44-1:21:58: With Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars getting underway, FF #265 — we got there eventually — ends up being an extremely disjointed and disappointing issue, no matter how much I might have liked the slice-of-life element of the issue's second story. After all, there's a terrible first story to deal with — which Jeff likens to Will Eisner's work in an impressive moment of cruelty — and then a rushed cliffhanger to the second that really doesn't land. But, hey! Welcome to the team, She-Hulk!
1:21:59-1:33:22: Truly Fantastic Four #266 is a banner issue in which there's a fill-in returning Ben Grimm to the book one issue after he was replaced on the team, and I misunderstand the denouement of the story entirely. (My version of the big reveal was much funnier, and I have to admit, I like the story less now that I know the truth.) Under discussion: Would Sue Richards be the best thief? What is the difference between invisible and not visible, and does even John Byrne know? Also, why does Jeff hate puns so?
1:33:23-1:48:57: To say that neither Jeff nor I appreciate FF #267 is an understatement; I'm deeply upset by using miscarriage as what is essentially a Macguffin for a superhero comic, while Jeff doesn't appreciate the way in which the story is really all about Reed instead of Sue, and wonders whether this is something that inspired Watchmen. (Lord, I hope not.) It's a trite issue that, in Jeff's words, underscores "how much Byrne's interest in Sue really does feel like a sham," and one that reduces a genuine real world tragedy into little more than cheap melodrama to fuel male comic book angst. Nope, in other words.
1:48:58-1:55:40: "Let's continue the grossness," I say, as we journey into Fantastic Four #268, and oh boy, do we. Sue gets literally two lines of dialogue as the follow-up to her miscarriage focuses on how neat the Baxter Building is, how bad-ass Reed Richards is even while grieving, and watching a mask kick the asses of half of the team. It's old school superheroics the way that nobody quite wanted at this particular time, and as Jeff puts it, "it's a very minimizing issue in many ways."
1:55:41-2:13:42: With the end creeping up on us, we speedily cover FF #s 269 and 270. "It's what I want from the Fantastic Four," I say at one point, and what I mean by that is, "relatively fast-moving dumb sci-fi with Wyatt Wingfoot returning and a good conceptual gag or two." It's pretty much Byrne-by-numbers as Terminus shows up to demonstrate that it takes more than a dramatic name and reasonable design sense to recreate the glory days of the Lee and Kirby run, but it's good enough for me in the context of recent issues to convince me. Jeff, meanwhile, is less impressed, making this the mirror image of FF #s 263-264. Now we know what we both like, it seems…
2:13:43-end: As we slide towards the close of the episode, we talk about the way our expectations of Byrne's work on the comic has changed, and of our shifting definitions of quality. Are we being beset by creative Stockholm Syndrome, or is something else happening? We also reveal that we'll be covering Fantastic Four Annual #s 14-18 and What If? #36 next month, and remind you to visit our Tumblr, Patreon and Twitter, because who doesn't want to be recognized every now and then? Next week: an all-new Wait, What?, but Patreon supporters might get something extra midweek as long as my schedule doesn't blow up. (Note: This is not impossible.) As always, thanks for listening and reading; it's much appreciated.
I've been a little cold on comics in general, lately. It happens to me every now and then–usually around big crossovers or when my backlog of unread stuff gets out of control (although I guess that's a chicken-egg question). Most of what I've been enjoying these days are things like Saga and The Wicked + Divine–long-running books not connected to anything else–or the fun, lightweight stuff on Marvel Unlimited: Squirrel Girl, all of Al Ewing's stuff, Mockingbird, Gwenpool, stuff like that.
Whenever this cooling happens, though, it brings what I think of as the Puff The Magic Dragon question in the back of my head: is this the time that my regular comic fix will make way for other toys? So far (obviously) that hasn't happened. There's always been something to pull me back. A title (Scott Pilgrim comes to mind) or a new creative direction (Grant Morrison on New X-Men) or even a new technological innovation (I think I would be all but done with monthly comics if it weren't for digital).
But it's been hard to see where something like that might come from this time. Marvel is mired in what looks increasingly like a death spiral. DC is cheerfully bogged down in the Rebirth project, which a lot of people seem to love, but which left me largely indifferent (as my failed attempts to get caught up probably show). Many of the creators I used to love have moved on to work that doesn't resonate with me, and many of the newer folks getting regular work–aside from Ewing and Tom King–feel either fungible (I've confused Jeff Lemire and Ray Fawkes more times than I can count), committed to one book that I'm already reading (Ryan North, etc.), or pleasant-enough-to-read-on-Unlimited but not really anything that's going to drag back my wandering attention.
I'm not sure why I forgot about Kyle Starks.

0:00-7:32: Greetings from a very relaxed Graeme McMillan and a perhaps somewhat less relaxed Jeff Lester. But, relaxed though they may be, they are still reading some of the books they discussed last week: Graeme is still making his way through Hostage by Guy Delisle, and Jeff is still making his way through (deep breath) Abandoned Cars by Tim Lane, Judge Dredd: The Cursed Earth Saga Uncensored by Pat Mills, Mike McMahon and just about everybody, and although he finished vol. 1 of West Coast Avengers by Englehart, Milgrom, and Sinnott, he's just barely dug into volume 2 (which actually starts seven issues after volume 1. Boo, Marvel!)
7:32-21:46: The discussion about 2000 A.D. pacing in the 70s leads fittingly into Rob Williams' current writing on Suicide Squad with art first by Jim Lee and currently by John Romita, Jr. (and a plethora of artists for each issue's back-up strips, such as Eddy Barrows and Eber Ferreria in issue #14). Also discussed: the combat banter of Steve Englehart; the use of shtick and the back-up story structure in Suicide Squad; and more.
21:46-29:52: Jeff was a bit bummed to hear one of his favorite comics, DC's The Flintstones, is ending after issue #12. And asking about this is a very fine way to get Graeme to talk about the upcoming DC/Hanna Barbera crossover annuals for which Graeme has read the review copies. Discussed: Flintstones/Booster Gold by Mark Russell and Rick Leonardi; the Snagglepuss back-up; the Batman/Top Cat crossover; and more.
29:52-35:28: This episode was recorded on the day the new Justice League trailer was released (see above), so it made sense to transition from talking about the latest DC comics to DC's latest attempt to build a franchise. What'd we think?
35:28-59:47: And from the DC movie trailer, to the latest Marvel (non-Marvel Studios) movie, Logan. Please note this is a full spoilers discussion—pretty much every bit of it gets spoiled so stay away from this section if you still haven't seen it.
59:47-1:02:46: From there we pivot to discusss…the other Wait, What? podcast! (Wait, what?) We are many, and we contain multitudes, apparently?
1:02:46-1:12:12: And hey, here we are discussing this Marvel retailer conference thing that's happening kinda/sorta of the downlow. Jeff is wondering what Graeme has heard about, and if he thinks the Marvel Leopard can change its spots.
1:12:12-1:23:11: What should've been a discussion on what Graeme's reading becomes a longer discussion about Tom King's Batman—Graeme is enjoying it tremendously, but Jeff is so far behind, will he ever catch up? And if so, how?
1:23:11-1:35:50: Graeme is also very impressed with what Joshua Williamson (with a raft of artists such as Carmine Di Giandomenico, Jesus Merino, and others) is doing to reinvent Barry Allen for The Flash, by taking the TV Barry Allen and doing an even better job with it. And that gets us into a discussion of characters that we care enough about that we'll check out no matter who is on the title.
1:35:50-1:57:08: Graeme had linked to an article on Medium by Meg Downey about fanfic and although Jeff still hasn't read the piece (he fav'd it for later), we discuss a bit about fanfic's ability to give audiences what they want on certain properties better than the corporate owners of the properties. And then there's some more talk from Jeff about Englehart and West Coast Avengers because, hey, who can stop him?
1:57:08-2:02:05: Also, thanks to another A+ manga recommendation from a Whatnaut, Jeff just finished the first volume of Interviews with Monster Girls by Petos, and wants to talk about it.
2:02:05-2:09:43: And Graeme wants to talk a bit about Terms and Conditions by R. Sikoryak which he is, uh, coolish about. He also wants to discuss Boundless by Jillian Tomaki, which he loves. And then…
2:09:43-: Closing Comments! Look for us on Stitcher!Itunes! Twitter together and separately: Graeme and Jeff! Matt! Tumblr, and on Patreon where a wonderful group of people make this all possible, including the kind crew at American Ninth Art Studios and Empress Audrey, Queen of the Galaxy, to whom we are especially grateful for their continuing support of this podcast. Oh, but before we go, Jeff has a theory about the Cursed Earth Saga, a certain creation of Pat Mills, and a certain creation of Jack Kirby.
Wait, What? Ep. 220: Grouse of Ideas
- March 19, 2017
- Tagged as: Abandoned Cars, Al Ewing, Al Milgrom, All-New Wolverine, Amazing Spider-Man, Avengers, Cave Carson Has a Cybernetic Eye, Dan Slott, Graeme, Green Lantern Corps, Hannah Blumenreich, Iron Fist on NetFlix, Jack Kirby, Jeff, Joe Sinnott, Joe Staton, Judge Dredd: The Cursed Earth Uncensored, Marvel, Marvel Unlimited, Mike McMahon, Murcielago, Pat Mills, Steve Englehart, Stuart Immonen, Tim Lane, Tom Taylor, Wait What?, West Coast Avengers
First things first, make sure you don't miss out Matt talking about that Logan movie right below this very entry, y'hear?
Good stuff, right? And now, some show notes:
I saw Logan a week ago, my wife and I sneaking out to late show on Sunday night despite both needing to work the next day. My hopes were not high, despite the generally positive reviews and my residual fondness for Hugh Jackman (in general and as Wolverine in particular), mainly because I found the previous James Mangold-directed entry (The Wolverine) to be a disjointed mess.
(I also tried to watch X-Men: Apocalypse for free on-demand the night before, and found the first 20 minutes so dreadful that I (a) Turned it off to do literally anything else with my life, and (b) Felt like it might've been bad enough to make hate the entire concept of live-action films about the X-Men.)
(And, no, I haven't watched Legion yet. It's backlogged on my DVR. I'm sure it will restore my faith in superpowered live filmed entertainment, etc. Not yet, though.)
I wound up enjoying it a lot, to the point where I'm still thinking about seven days later. This post is my attempt to figure out why that is. So it's listicle time again!
(Assume pretty FULL SPOILERS FOR LOGAN BELOW. At a minimum, it's written kinda presupposing that you've seen the movie, or are at least largely aware of the details of it.)
Previously on Baxter Building: After an impressive debut, the John Byrne era of Fantastic Four stumbled as the writer/artist completed his first year — but he certainly continued to be ambitious, bringing in some old favorite characters like the Black Panther, Doctor Doom and Galactus so early into his run. But what happens when his ambition outstrips his execution?
0:00:00-0:06:13: We launch into the episode by admitting that these aren't the most memorable of issues, and that our happy glow when we think of the first Byrne episode is fading fast. We're covering Fantastic Four #248-260 this time around, and it's an uneven grab bag that mostly spirals down in terms of quality, be warned.
0:06:14-0:18:39: When is a story not a story? When it's that laziest of things, a dream sequence. Enter FF #248, in which Byrne tips his hand way too early about whether or not what's happening on the page is "real," while also not being particularly bothered in setting up the context surrounding the whole thing. Why is Reed dreaming of Treens and Space: 1999? Just what is going on with Triton? Is all of the Marvel Universe a dream, when you really get down to it? (I mean, yes, but still.)
0:18:40-0:31:37: "This is when John Byrne moves into becoming Unfortunate John Byrne" says Jeff when referring to Fantastic Four #249, and he's not just saying that because of some unfortunate layout choices. Nope, it's the writing that we really attack here, because Mr. Byrne knows just how the Fantastic Four and its surrounding world should act and he's here to make sure you understand exactly what he means, no matter how dull that might make a fight issue. Also, the worst cliffhanger of the Byrne run to date? That would be this one, leading into…
0:31:38-0:43:34: FF #250, which works best if you assume that (a) all anyone wants out of an anniversary issue is an appearance by the main cast, regardless of quality or common sense (Really, what else is Alicia doing in here?), and (b) that all superheroes are stupid and have never, ever met the X-Men ever before. On the plus side, we do get to get a preview of how John Byrne will approach Superman years hence, which isn't exactly what anyone would have expected. And, as I note, as bad as this issue might be, it's still better than what's just around the corner.
0:43:35-0:57:44: Fantastic Four #251 launches the you-won't-believe-it-drags-on-so-long Negative Zone saga, which seems like a good idea but that's because you're imagining the best version instead of the Byrne version. This issue has a lot to recommend it, however, including some good "Day in the Life" stuff (and the introduction of Christopher Reeve, above), a toyetic and Tardis-like spacecraft, the best proof yet that John Byrne takes this stuff far too seriously, and a cliffhanger that couldn't have been more lampshades if the dialogue had actually included the words "What about this guy we're mentioning right now, do you think he'll show up before the end of the issue to cause trouble? What are the odds?" Feel free to be as surprised as I am that neither Jeff nor myself tried to make "Byrne's Annihilus" into the comic book version of "Chekhov's gun."
0:57:45-1:08:55: Everything goes sideways in FF #252, as Jeff tries (and fails) to make the argument that turning the page sideways to draw it constitutes an experiment, but that still might be one of the most interesting things about the issue. But at least we also get to see… Reed getting sick, which allows the rest of the team the only opportunity they have to fuck up…? Okay, maybe that's not the most convincing argument in favor of the book. Welcome to the new era of surprisingly light, throwaway done-in-ones, everyone!
1:08:56-1:14:17: If nothing else, let's take note that Jeff's love of the splash for Fantastic Four #253 gives us a chance to say something positive about an issue that is, in almost every other respect, entirely throwaway, as if written by someone for whom "But what if it's not?" is seen as a worthy plot twist in and of itself, separate from, you know, actually having a story attached on either end. That said, we do get to find out about Negative Zone pranks here, and let's just be honest: Annihilus's sense of humor is a thing of wonder.
1:14:18-1:24:07: Things pick up for all the wrong reasons in FF #254, which debuts the new catchphrase Jeff wishes that Reed Richards would adopt, while both of us agree that, for once, Byrne seems to get that all of the team are adults while also demonstrating that no-one ever wants to see a topless Reed using his powers ever, ever again. Who knew that pink stretching man would seem so much more gross than blue stetting man? And yet, now we have the proof.
1:24:08-1:42:48: Perhaps reflecting our dislike for the way this plot line goes, we end up discussing Fantastic Four #255 and 256, and its crossover issue Avengers #233, all in one go. (The issue titles, which I think we skipped, are "Trapped" and "The Annihilation Gambit!", if you're bothered.) Under discussion: overly-purple prose when Daredevil shows up, the fact that it turns out to be trouble when your big climax hinges around a plot that no-one had really thought out (who knew?) and the arrival of the Byrne-era FF costumes, which come about because no-one apparently thought to explain to him that the "negative," or inverse, of a black and blue costume would be a white and orange one. Annihilus, you deserved better than this weird plot line, even if you apparently couldn't tell when people are alive or dead.
1:42:59-1:49:29: "Fragments," AKA FF #257, lives up to its title with an especially scattered issue that feels very subplot heavy, but it's actually doing the heavy lifting for what's coming up in a few months. Meanwhile, I tell Jeff about The Thing #2, which ties into this issue despite that not being obvious anywhere in the issue itself. Oh, and Galactus destroys the Skrull home world, and it feels very much like the afterthought that I'm treating it as.
1:49:30-2:02:40: With both time and our attention span dwindling, we once again group a number of issues together, this time covering #258-260, which have a lot of things you'd think we'd enjoy more: A Doctor Doom spotlight issue centering on his psychological issues! The apparent death of Doom (although that's obviously not the case, despite the fact that Jeff misses the get-out clause)! Three issues entirely without Reed Richards! And yet, our enthusiasm is dampened not only by the fact that Byrne himself feels less than enthusiastic, but also because one of the two antagonists of this storyline is the former Terrax the Tamer, a character who will never, ever be interesting despite how much creators feel otherwise. That we spend more time talking about Namor's hair from a brief cameo sequence than how awesome Terrax is should be a clue.
2:02:41 – end: We wrap everything up by wondering just why these issues were underwhelming, and then looking ahead to next month's episode, where we'll go from #261 through #270. In the meantime, you can check out our Tumblr, Patron and Twitter, or simply return back here next week for a brand-new Wait, What?. As always, thanks for reading and listening, and sorry for everyone who got caught out by the faulty file uploaded earlier. Things are fixed now, honest!
