Yandle for Staal Rumour (via Eklund)
Yandle and 2012 2nd RD and 2013 3rd RD for Jordan Staal
Edit: bad Typing spelled Staal wrong , not sure how to change title..
Anyway not sure if anyone heard this or not
Owner or no owner, I will start flip my lid if Yandle is traded for him. The only way I want Keith to be in Pittsburgh is if Malkin comes the other way. That won't happen either.
well i believe this sort of deal was debated at the trade deadline by a few of us who were speculating that the emergence of OEL might make the $5 million + Keith Yandle expendable as early as this summer.
I'd throw a chair through GMDM's office window if he traded Yandle for Staal.
Staal for Yandle makes sense from our side. It all depends on what you think the upside of Staal to be. Let's face it though with the continued development of OEL and the insertion of Rundblad and Gormely into the equation as early as next season is going to take minutes away from Yandle (especially on the PP). Yandle's stats may take a hit and he may hover at that 40-50 point range instead of hitting the 60-70 point range that is his upside.
No way Stall has only 1 year before UFA and Yandle has 4 more seasons locked at $5m. You would need to send picks back with stall or better yet #4 !
The only thing I can think of why this rumor was made is because Pittsburgh's D is crap and others in the hockey world know Yandle and Z pair very well. I can deal with a rumor of Z for our 2012 1st round pick better than this.
Eklund has the 3rd pick in 2013 and conditional on a Staal re-signing with Phoenix. Also a Pits prospect would be included. Just to toss a name out there I would say Tangredi who hasn't delivered in his opportunities he's been provided but might be a better fit in Phoenix.
Eklund you say? Yeah, there's no truth to this.
Why would we even think about trading Yandle? The guy is a stud, and LOVES playing for Phoenix.
Someone needs to tell craig Morgan that eklund is full of ****
It's Eklund so I hear what you are saying.
One thing you have to remember though is Maloney came from the Islanders and Bill Tory's system of building a team.
1) Goal
2) Defense
3) Center
4) Wingers
Maloney has accomplished steps 1&2 and completed a slight upgrade with the addition of Vermette. We still lack that true #1 Centerman and at the 27th pick we are not going to find it in the draft this year. At that pick we are drafting 3rd liners with 2nd line potential.
I understand a trade involving those two players may make sense on based on the respective teams' offense/defense needs. But the gap in years remaining till UFA is for them is too big for me to like a trade proposal with Yandle and Staal as the primary assets.
Oh its Eklund ?
Maloney is usually pretty lipped about everything .. Was there many trades Maloney has done that anyone was able to break before it happened ?
Also like others have mentioned , I would think the pick would be coming our way , with the amount of years left one the player's contracts ..
Also a bonus is Yandle actually wants to play here
Mind you, Kessel's entry-level deal had expired and he was already a RFA, but Burkie's misplaced sense of honour prevented him from just doing an offer sheet without offering the Bruins more than he got in Anaheim when Edmonton signed Penner. In any event, that was a rare occurence of the new team inking the traded player to a post-entry-level contract. Most do just re-up and stay put, if that's what you mean
BTW, it's a lot easier to load up on defence than it is to acquire a young front-line centre. I don't know Yandle's game, nor if Staal is the answer, but if Staal is what some people think he is I'd do that deal in a heartbeat.
Id love this if it was for eric staal...though wed need to give up a little more.
for jordan I wouldnt want to give up the extra picks.
Jordan is a very good center. He brings size, plays good defense and scores. I think he would fit in our system well. With the injuries to crosby and malkin he has gotten a lot of time as the number two center (which isnt bad when its crosby or malkin at one)
Summers/Gormley, Stone
You could always sign another depth defenseman if needed but I like that roster. Speed, size, great center depth, gormley or summers would be the only inexperienced Dman if they resigned Aucoin. Wed still have Smith too. I love Yandle and dont want to give him away but its a business too and sometimes you have to do things you dont want to get where you need to be.
Not saying Bryz is young, or the situation surrounding the trade rumors is similar (Bryz clearly wanted a deal that we couldn't pay, whereas Staal is a player with explosive talent ahead of him on the roster).
We have so much depth defensively, it is ridiulous. I will venture to say that we have 11 defensemen (including those who are hitting UFA) who are capable of being in any NHL teams top 6. We have the opportunity to reach a deal with Aucoin, Rozsival, or another UFA D-man for giving up a great talent, yes, but one that has players who are just as old, and are ready to log more minutes (in OEL's case, younger and a better all-around player). No other player on the team will return the value of a player like Staal (or insert other elite name).
Depending on the return, I am for exploring these types of trades...
Bad rumor or not, there is no way I trade Yandle who has a higher career single season point total than the guy who would be coming back as a forward. I'm sure Staal will continue to get better but Yandle is clearly the better player now and might always be.
The only piece that concerns me is where Staal is on the PP, and how much can he help us there. He is a big body, and when looking at his numbers on the PP, they are not incredibly strong. However, he has also been a good PKer for the Pens, and when you have Crosby and Malkin ahead of you, you are not going to be as effective as possible on the PP, much less get a lot of time. Even with the injuries that Crosby and Malkin have had, his numbers don't suggest that he would be poised to have a breakout year. Although having that centerman means that Gordon and either Staal or Hanzal can be used out there - incredibly important if one or the other is in the box.
I am brightening up to the idea of Staal, but am not 100% sold...
I'm looking for a player in a similar situation to Jordan Staal that signed an extension as a condition of the trade. My criteria is:
- Player was currently under contract with 1 year remaining when traded.
- After the player's current contract expires he would become a UFA for the first time.*
- Player signs an extension as part of the trade. Thus forgoing his UFA opportunity.
*The reason I emphasize first UFA chance is because I believe some older players have probably been traded with a year remaining on their current deals and signed an extension. They've been through the UFA market before and already gotten their best paydays. Often when they're traded they have more influence on the destination.
Eklund is a ****ing idiot, DM is not going to trade Yandle away and thankfully so. The team dynamic on and off the ice would change dramatically and NOT in a good way. I'd love for them to land Staal but not at the price of Yandle, no way no how!
I get where you are coming from though. Truth is most teams lock up their young top players for an extended period but with Crosby and Malkin already in the picture the Pens may be reluctant to sign for the type of term that Staal would be looking for.
Money talks. I don't care if it was done before or not. If we offer him a good contract, he signs it. He's had some injuries the last couple years and hasn't played full seasons. Maybe the idea of a long contract (like a 10 year deal) appeals to him since he's been hurt. Either way, I don't make the deal unless we at least have already agreed on the frame work of an extension. It would be too risky to give up a player like Yandle without that. Then the ownership needs to bring in a top line FA and make one other trade or signing and we finally have a top line.
As for his PP stats, don't forget he's not on their first PP unit. Crosby and Malkin play together on their first PP unit. He had 25 goals and 25 assists in 62 games last year and is excellent defensively. We'd finally have a center with top line talent and just imagine the headaches teams would get having their top centers play against Staal and Hanzal 1-2. It's not like Gordon would be a cake walk on defense when you get done with those two.

South Africans Search for Flavor in Their Beer
Part 2 of a five-part series on South Africa's craft beer boom

Craft Beer Boom Sweeps South Africa

December 24, 2013 9:35 AM
Alongside a sepia-tone poster bearing the 1920s image of a woman – wearing nothing but a string of pearls around her neck and flowers in her hair – Steve Gilroy grips a tulip-shaped glass containing ruby liquid and proclaims, "Hold this up to the light; just look at that! That's a red Irish ale. That's a thing of beauty and a joy forever."
About 200 men and women of all ages are packed into a gloomy, wood-paneled hall inside the depths of Gilroy's brewery near Johannesburg to hear the microbrewer talk about the beer he makes.
Gilroy, a jovial bear of a man with a long white beard, takes a swig of his beer, and most of his audience does likewise. A collective gulp resounds around the room. Tongues swirl; flavors explode in mouths; sighs of enjoyment follow.
The brewer declares that he uses Fuggles and East Kent Golding hops from England to craft his ale. People nod in approval. Gilroy barks gruffly, "When you're tasting this beer there's a very slight licorice flavor. That's from the hops…."
Hops are the cone-shaped female flowers of the
humulus lupulus
plant and grow on vines. They give beer bitterness and flavors that can range from passion fruit, to pine, to chili, to caramel and many more, depending on the hop variety.

The occasion in Gilroy's brewery offers further evidence of rapidly changing trends in South Africa's beer sector, one of the strongest beer markets in the world, as the demand for craft beer grows.
Up until recently there were a handful of microbreweries in South Africa; now there are more than 70. The number is expected to rise much further in the near future as a brand-new industry rises to quench South Africa's growing thirst for high quality beer.
Craft beer, also called artisanal or specialty beer, is handcrafted in small, independent breweries, not mass-produced in factories. It contains no chemicals and preservatives, only "pure" inputs – usually hops, barley, malt, yeast and water. Its flavors develop naturally and it's generally much tastier than commercial beer. Craft brews take longer to produce, are made in small quantities and use more expensive ingredients. They're consequently pricier than beers made on a large scale.

Beer has become like wine
According to a leading microbrewer, Moritz Kallmeyer of Drayman's Brewery in Pretoria, yearning for "beer knowledge" is a potent factor behind the relatively sudden demand for craft beer in South Africa.
"Nowadays people don't just drink beer to quench their thirst. They drink beer to search for different kinds of flavors and to satisfy their curiosity regarding the style of beer. Beer essentially has become like wine."
Just as wine connoisseurs will analyze the qualities of grapes, so too are South African beer lovers beginning to discuss the particular hops used in their beer, said Kallmeyer.
He maintained, "Beer is actually much more complex than wine. There are few grape varieties when compared with how many hop varieties there are."
Kallmeyer, a veteran of South Africa's microbrewing scene, said the level of interest in what makes a good beer is unprecedented.
"It's something that is so intellectually stimulating. You know, everybody can quaff a beer – but it takes intelligence to enjoy and talk about a beer. More and more South Africans want to acquire that intelligence about beer. You hang out in a pub these days and you hear guys talking about a beer and saying, 'What are its bittering components?'"
Kallmeyer said beer drinkers are now also "picking apart" the body, texture and color of a specialty beer.
"In the olden days it would have been considered very strange if someone takes a glass of beer, holds it up against the light and looks at the color – worse still, to bring it to your nose and sniff it! But it's not uncommon nowadays to sit in a pub where there's craft beer on tap with people eyeing the beer, sniffing it, swirling it, talking about it, and even influencing other people in the pub who are Castle drinkers, to try the craft beer."
Castle lager is South Africa's leading commercial beer brand. It's brewed by South African Breweries [SAB], the world's second largest commercial beer manufacturer.
To further illustrate the immense change sweeping the country's beer industry, Kallmeyer said up until relatively recently he struggled to sell his German-style Weiss [wheat] beer, which is naturally hazy, not clear - like the beers South Africans are used to.
"Now they drink it with satisfaction and they tell me, 'Ah! Beautiful! It has delicious flavors of baked bread and malt.' Beer drinkers here are becoming much more sophisticated."
'It's created hype and growth'
For Martin Brooks, chief brewer at SAB, a principle force behind the demand for craft beer is South Africans' wish for "beer experimentation."
"Especially the…more affluent consumer base is now wanting different beer styles and more choice. It's created hype and growth in the top end of the beer category," said Brooks, who's responsible for creating the brews that for many years were the only beers available to South Africans.
Gilroy agreed, saying, "Craft beer is taking off now because people want bigger, more flavorful beers. They're tired of drinking the same old generic lager, lager, lager that their fathers and their great-grandfathers used to drink."
He said the recipe behind the burgeoning success of independent breweries is quite simple: "Giving people a choice, giving people a diversity [of beers] that they hadn't had before, which is probably why South Africa's finally taken the reins and we're all starting to brew excellent beers."
The owner of Linden Discount Liquor store in Johannesburg, Gerry de Souza, said customers wanting "something different" from SAB beers are "without a doubt" behind a massive spike in his sales of craft beer.
"With most of them it's just to get away from SAB [commercial beers]! And the belief that [craft beer is] pure beer, not with chemicals; that seems to be a big issue as well."
'It isn't just roll off the factory line'
Speaking above the hum of refrigeration inside his cold conditioning room in his microbrewery in Northwest Province, Dirk van Tonder said his compatriots are attracted to craft beers because they have interesting stories behind them.
"Each craft beer has a story; it didn't just roll off a factory line. Each brewer is a unique character and has a face that people can see; he's not just a company brand. His beers are unique. Each beer has intriguing ingredients, aromas and flavors."
Van Tonder said people are demanding to know the stories behind what they're eating and drinking. "If somebody gives you a product for your own consumption, that product's got to have a story. The person that gives you that product must [be able to] say, 'I've done this' or 'I know the person that's created this, and this is the story behind that product.'"
Brewer Andre de Beer, of the Cockpit Brewery in Cullinan in Gauteng Province, said the "bottom line" is that South Africans want "good, flavorsome, different beers that stand out from the masses available in supermarkets, beer that isn't fed to them by advertising agencies but what they discover themselves."
Breweries join the green revolution
Nick Gordon, co-owner of one of Johannesburg's most celebrated restaurants, The Leopard, stocks a variety of craft beers and encourages his patrons to pair certain meals with certain beers.
He's adamant that South Africa's move towards artisanal beer is "part of a global movement towards good produce, and people wanting to know exactly what is in the produce that they consume. Especially in the more developed or wealthier economies where people have the time to reflect on those sorts of things, there's a lot of attention paid and interest in artisanal and traditionally manufactured or grown things. And craft beer fits neatly into all of that."
Lex Mitchell is known as the father of microbrewing in South Africa, having opened the independent Mitchell's Brewery in 1983. He considers the surge to be "an offshoot of the green revolution, where people want to buy high quality products that have been made with minimal stress to the environment, without chemicals, using organic ingredients."
Gilroy insisted that the demand for craft beer is part of a "global quest for authenticity in terms of what people eat and drink; a rebellion against artificial ingredients…. Craft beer fits right into it because craft beer speaks of traditional values and for real beer."
"It was only quite recently that South Africans started demanding food that's not produced by chemicals and antibiotics and that stuff," said De Beer. "And I believe that [their desire for] craft beer is part of that move back to nature, back to good, proper, decent product."
Buys with khaki pants will drink it
Although demand for more expensive specialty beer is undoubtedly driven by middle and upper class beer drinkers with disposable income, Kallmeyer insisted that "wide spectrums" of South Africans are now consuming it.
"Now you get this strange sight at some of the festivals where from punk rock guys to
farm laborer type of guys with their khaki pants, will drink craft beer."
Kallmeyer said the entrance of craft beer into the market is changing the way South Africans drink, but is also transforming beer purchasing patterns.
"It's obvious that people with more money tend to buy more craft beers. What you will see is people with less money buying one or two craft beers and then after they drink those they start buying cheaper commercial beers."
Jurie Blomerus, who owns the Stanley Beer Yard in Johannesburg, a bar and restaurant with a wide range of craft beers as its main selling point, has noticed the same trend.
"The guy that comes here is maybe of a medium or a higher income bracket because he can afford to buy this beer, or some guys [who have less money] come and where they used to drink two [commercial] beers, now they can only drink one beer, and they come and enjoy it because of the product," said Blomerus.
Geriatrics make it, youth lap it up
According to many concerned with craft beer in South Africa, an important reason for its rapid growth is support from young people.
"It's mostly the older, geriatric guys like me making the beer, and the younger generation lapping it up," joked van Tonder.
He continued, "The youngsters have seen previous generations pump food and drinks full of chemicals and preservatives and they want no part of that. They're far more environmentally conscious than we ever were, and are also far more willing to experiment with different beer styles."
Mitchell said, "There is this yearning for simpler stuff in life. It exists with the younger people; they're the ones who are driving it. Younger people have become interested in different genres of beer and that sort of thing."
Nuschka Botha, at 21 years of age the youngest commercial microbrewer in South Africa and also one of only two female commercial microbrewers in the country, described the youth's "latching on" to craft beer as "crazy."
"It's growing under the youth like, insanely. If you go to all these festivals, at all of them it's young people. I don't know if it is that [young] people have decided that they want to start living healthier, drinking healthier…. I think that is maybe one of the main reasons why there is this boom in craft beer," said Botha.
Kallmeyer said it doesn't really matter who is drinking craft beer or why they're drinking it.
"The important factor here is that South Africans are becoming so educated about good beer and that means that the beer landscape in this country has changed forever. Compared with where we come from, where beer drinkers had such limited and poor choices, that can only be a fabulous thing."

Grade A Pasteurized Milk, Fruit Purée (Passion Fruit, Water, Cane Sugar, Locust Bean Gum, Pectin, Lemon Juice Concentrate), Cane Sugar, Honey, Kosher Gelatin, Pectin, Live Active Cultures: S. Thermophilus, L. Bulgaricus, L. Acidophilus, Bifidus, and L. Casei.
We Aussies are passionate about a lot of things, and passion fruit is one of them. Its summery, sweet/tart, tropical flavor makes us as happy as a possum up a gum tree (in other words, very happy!) We've blended ripe, whole passion fruit purée with our rich velvety yoghurt, and in a nod to Aussie tradition, even kept the pips in. (Yes, it's different, but take a punt and give it a go. We think you'll love the added texture, flavor and nutrition, too!)

O Say Can You See: The Greatest Patriotic Super Heroes of All-Time
Comic Books
Marvel's big Fear Itself crossover event last year introduced readers to Odin's brother, the Serpent, who along with the Red Skull's daughter, Sin, used seven divine hammers to turn several Marvel heroes and villains into his agents on Earth. Spoiler's alert: Marvel's heroes win, but in the wake of the event came the question of what happened to all those hammers.
Cullen Bunn, Matt Fraction, Chris Yost, Mark Bagley and Paul Pelletier answered that question in the pages of The Fearless, a miniseries that saw Sin and her boyfriend, Crossbones, in an Amazing Race-style adventure to find all the hammers. They were pitted against Valkyrie, a character ripe not only for an Asgardian-laced race against the forces of evil and some character development of her own. Over the course of the series, we learned a lot about the Valkyrie's history, saw guest stars galore and even got a tease for a potential new series. Now that the miniseries has wrapped up, I chatted with Bunn about the comic, the characters he used and what he did with them. My thanks to him for taking the time to answer my questions.
JK: If I'm not mistaken, this was your first major project for Marvel since going "exclusive" with them. You'd done other stories for them and even other Fear Itself tie-ins, but is it safe to say this probably put you on the main stage of the Marvel Universe in a way you hadn't experienced yet? Did you feel any pressure going into it because of the scope and the fact that it came out of a big Marvel event?
Cullen: Yeah, this was a big, intimidating undertaking. The Fearless featured most of the major Marvel superheroes in one way or another, and it spanned numerous locales. Luckily, I was working with a very supportive team who made me feel pretty comfortable going into this. They put a lot of trust in me with the series, and I didn't want to let anyone down. Every time I sent some crazy note or suggestion for plot points, I expected them to yank me off the title, but they were pretty receptive to the idea of exploding sharks, a new team of Valkyrie, and Wolverine gutting Crossbones (among other things).
What follows is a theory about one of Marvel's most resilient characters, Nick Fury, and all the forms he takes. From a sergeant with the Howling Commandos to an Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. to Samuel L. Jackson and beyond, the character of Nick Fury endures. But why? Let's talk about Battle Scars #6 and look at all the Furys (Furi?) we have on the table.
WARNING: Yep, talking about Battle Scars again, so if you've picked up issue #6 or are just a fan of internet spoilers, read along!
Looking at the solicitations isn't what it used to be, folks. We work with such a strange system already, trying to see into the future of three months from now and what we'll like then, and the recent shift from paragraphs to bullet points just brings home the futility of it all. Who are the solicitations for? The readers, looking to get an idea of what's to come with their favorite characters and titles so they can plan accordingly? Are they for the retailers, who have to pore over these lists and cover images, and figure out what people are going to want casually versus regularly? And what if, say, a month from now, a writer or artist has a better chance to tell you more about their book and reveal something the solicits couldn't tell you? What if a book you see now just doesn't make it to the print and we're left with an echo of what could have been? This information can change with a story edit or a creative team switch-up. How do we handle this information anymore?
Well, hopefully I can take a look at what July means for Marvel and for you, the consumer. Gird your loins, Gentle Reader, and let's look at what the House of Ideas wants you to know about Comic-Con Month, also known as 'July'.
WARNING: Since Avengers vs. X-Men #2 came out this week, I might drop a few spoilers for that when talking about what that book might become later on. Also, I make an educated guess about a [REDACTED] name, so that means I also read Wolverine & the X-Men #9. Grab your copies and read along!

Last year BOOM! Studios' licenses for the various Disney properties expired, and one of the casualties of that was a four-issue Muppets arc by Roger Langridge that had not been printed yet. "As far as I understand it, the unpublished work I've done for Boom isn't technically Disney's until it's published, and obviously Boom can't publish it without a license," Langridge said at the time. "So it's in a kind of limbo right now. In the best of all possible worlds, I'd like to think that Boom and Marvel can come to some kind of arrangement whereby Marvel can eventually release the work."
Apparently some sort of arrangement has been reached, as Marvel has solicited the first issue of a four-issue Muppets miniseries for July, featuring that "lost" story by Langridge. Here's the solicitation:
MUPPETS #1 (of 4)
The four-part Muppet Show story "The Four Seasons" – for the first time in print!
Written by ROGER LANGRIDGE
Art by ROGER LANGRIDGE
Cover by TBD
• Kermit and the gang put on a show to celebrate spring's arrival at the Muppet Theatre!
• A special guest — Meredith the Mountain Gorilla — arrives to perform on the Muppet Show, and her many admirers compete for her affections.
32 PGS./All Ages …$2.99
The miniseries follows Marvel's reprintings of other Muppets material produced by Langridge while BOOM! had the license. Langridge said he wasn't aware that Marvel was publishing the comic until he read it on the internet, but he did know it would be published in Italy.
"I've been working with Disney Italy on a few things they wanted tweaked (they needed Gonzo's nose redrawing), so presumably that's where Marvel are getting it from," he said on his blog, adding, "If anyone from the appropriate department of Marvel is reading this, I can send you my scripts if you want, rather than translating from Italian back into English. (I remember reading British Disney comics as a kid where Carl Barks' dialogue had been totally rewritten and it made my teeth hurt.)"
If you watch boxing or, say, UFC, first round knockouts can be incredibly disappointing. Depending on the build-up and the hype put on for the match, it can seem like a waste of talent. Worse, it can seem like a waste of your time and money that you spent ordering the darn pay-per-view or getting tickets ringside. Maybe you watched months of lead up, interviews, training docs, compilations of past fights and then, with one right hook, Junior Dos Santos is champ and FOX has some air time to fill. You can know your combatant so well that seeing anything less than three full rounds just won't showcase their talents enough for a satisfying contest.
Well, with Avengers vs X-Men #1, you don't have anything to worry about as far as first round TKOs go. With around 31 pages to fill, it feels like each team barely gets into the ring.
WARNING: Below, we will shorten some titles and talk about AvX #1, AvX #0 and about combat sports in general, the latter not too well. It's a metaphor bonanza so grab your copies and read along!
Dear Digital Comics,
I'm sorry. I'm sorry I considered you gimmicky and fake. I'm sorry I thought that you were unwieldy on my computer screen and that your pictures were badly scanned. I'm sorry I spurned your free codes, and I looked down my nose at your formatting and strange reading interactions. Most of all, I'm sorry that, deep down in a small corner of my heart, I thought you were going to take away my job. I've been working at my local comic shop for more than 10 years, so that's a long time to get set in your ways and feel that any new idea might threaten your way of life.
For a long time, I've really felt there was an either-or issue between print comics and digital comics. I tend to be a very partisan kind of person (Go Marvel!), so it's not a surprise that I weighed the merits of both, made my choice and then dug in my heels. Digital comics, I felt, required so much of me technologically (a computer, a good monitor, access to the internet in some cases, etc.) that I didn't think about all the requirements that print comics ask of readers as well (a healthy income, access to a good comic book shop, some research into what exactly was on the shelves, etc.). The way that comics are read on a screen was just going to be inherently different than the way they're read in print and that, in a direct transfer, we were just going to lose something in the translation. Besides, there have been years and years to make the returns on print comics better than a digital file; personally, I grew up tracing the heroes in my comics to learn how to draw. You can trade them, give them away, share them with friends and some days, just put them all in a big pile and roll around like a chinchilla (not recommended). I would be remiss if I didn't talk about the big advantage that print comics have over digital: selling them. It would seem in the great debate that paper just covers digital comics for the win.
Comics fans have long been familiar with promotional comics, with everything from last year's General Mills comics to the exultant Meatloaf comic in 1980s Marvel titles. And coming across the Robot 6 news desk is word of a new title aimed at kids and sponsored by the credit card company Visa.
Titled Avengers: Saving The Day,the one-shot title is intended "help introduce children to basic money concepts" according to the press release, which is a valid point considering how expensive it must be to be a super hero.
"In today's increasingly complex financial world, we must find creative ways to help parents and educators teach children the fundamentals of money management," Visa's Jason Alderman is quoted in the press release. "A comic book with Spider-Man and the Avengers is the perfect device for making the sometimes dull subject of financial literacy entertaining and educational."
The 16-page book is written by Generation Hope's James Asmus and illustrated by Andrew Di Vito, depicting the aforementioned Avengers team going after Mole Man during a botched heist attempt. According to that press release, the comic will be supplemented by a "teacher's guide which introduces concepts such as budgeting, saving and banking."
Personally, I'd love to see more about the financial habits and credit card bills someone like Spider-Man might rack up — first off, where would he carry a Visa card in that skintight suit of his?
Ah, the movie month of May! That lovely little month where everyone goes to the theaters to see the summer blockbuster season kick off! And here we are folks, just three months away from the Avengers, a movie even five years ago I thought couldn't be made. Can you believe that Marvel Comics, a nigh-bankrupt company at the end of the 1990s, branched out into their own movie studio and not only made millions off of lesser-known characters such as Iron Man and Thor, but gathered them all together into one big film that's one of the most anticipated movies of the summer? Really! Think about it for a moment and raise a glass to the folks at the House of Ideas because man. You've come along way, baby.
Anyhoo, back to the comics.
Looking over the Marvel solicitations for May 2012, they might seem kind of sparse, but do not let first glances deceive you. Sure, there's not a lot of all-new books, AvX rolls along from its big debut last month and things seem kind of quiet on the western front, so to speak. But there is a lot of weird, fun and thoughtful issues headed out this merry month of May, and some stuff might even pass you by.
So what are we going to pick up as we beat a path to our local comic shop, whipped into a comic book-buying frenzy by the pageantry and action presented on the silver screen? Let's take a look!
It was right about the time that Merlin stepped up to speak in the most recent issue of Thunderbolts that I had to check the cover and make sure I had picked up the right book. Don't get me wrong, I love the Thunderbolts and have really seen them bloom into something rather special in the Marvel Universe, but there was this strange feeling in the back of my mind this issue. Something about how all the Thunderbolts had new Ren Faire costumes to fit into the Camelot scheme that were similar to their usual togs. Something about the casual guest star factor with the court of King Arthur (especially the Black Knight, I miss that guy!). Something about how all the characters worked together or didn't, depending on the situation and the greater needs at hand.
But really, while listening to Merlin I suddenly realized that I had seen a story like this before. Not the exact same story, but going to Camelot, overcoming adversity, the comparisons between the heroes and the knights of old, even the stylish dress up factor made me want to go find old issues of "The Morgan Conquest," the post-Heroes Reborn issues of the Avengers from Kurt Busiek and George Perez. It's not too surprising that the T-Bolts would remind me of a by-gone era of Avengers lore. In fact, taking a closer look, there's a lot to be said for this rag-tag team of super villains being taught redemption and their exploits in battling evil.
Could it possibly be that the oldest trick in the Thunderbolts book was becoming a reality?
If Twitter had existed back in the mid-1980s, things might have turned out differently for Jack Kirby and, ultimately, his heirs. Perhaps Marvel's demand that he permanently sign away the copyright to all his work for them in return for very limited rights to his original art would have triggered the sort of online firestorm that scotched the Bank of America debit card fees, SOPA/PIPA, and the Susan G. Komen Foundation's brief moment of collusion with the hard right. Then again, maybe not—the internet can be fickle.
A number of creators criticized Marvel's actions at the time, and in the end they did soften a bit and come up with a deal Kirby could sign. More recently, Kirby's heirs tried to claim ownership of a number of copyrights for characters he created, but the judge in that case ruled in Marvel's favor without even going to trial. Now Change.org is giving it a second try, with an internet petition asking Marvel to make things right with Kirby and his heirs:
We strongly urge Marvel Entertainment and its owner Disney to acknowledge Jack Kirby's authorship and primary role in the creation of these characters. As well, we urge Marvel to pay Kirby's family royalties or other just compensation for the use of these characters and stories.
The petition calls on the signatories to boycott Marvel until that happens. So far, despite appearing on The Beat, the petition only has 229 signatures, which isn't likely to move the sales needle enough for Marvel to notice.
Over what was most likely a perfect cup of Moroccan Mint green tea, Greg Rucka sat down for a discussion with Mark Waid and Steve Wacker about "The Omega Effect," an upcoming crossover between The Avenging Spider-Man, The Punisher and Daredevil debuting in April.
In the story, the Man Without Fear will find himself in possession the Omega Drive, a file connecting five powerful criminal organizations — dangerous information that everyone's going to want to get there hands on, right? That's a well-used motive in our genre with the added twist of science; you see, Spider-Man is operating at the behest of Reed Richards, who invented the Omega Drive to begin with. So either Richards has been collecting dirty sheets on crime bosses in his spare time, or there's something more delicate to what's holding all this information in the first place. Remember all the math he used to keep in the basement telling him how to nudge society around? Yeah, this could get ugly.
That's why we have the Punisher, who'll go head to head with Spider-Man and Daredevil to put this information to good use — which, as we can guess, probably means shooting some fools. Waid and Rucka are more than willing to throw their supporting casts into the mix, as well as relevant story arcs that coincide with the trouble at hand. Spider-Man vowed that no one else would die on his watch, and that's a hard vow to keep next to Frank Castle. Daredevil has had a long history with the Punisher, both falling on different sides of the very concept of justice. With his most recent fall from grace and return with a fresh attitude, how will the new Daredevil handle a man acting as judge, jury and executioner?
And the Punisher? Follow me on this one, guys, but what is Frank Castle going to get out of all of this?
(WARNING: Spoilers ahead for PunisherMAX #21 and Punisher #7, out this week. Grab your copies and follow along!)
Did you know that there is a U.S. government website to help you complete common New Year's resolutions? Seriously, take a look; it's the "U.S. Government's Official Web Portal" and there's a lot of benign but helpful info about getting a passport or a story about a wedding dress made out of a parachute, but yeah, in the middle of that is a helpful list of the most common New Year's resolutions with links to a website or brochure that could offer helpful information and suggestions.
Last year, when I carved my own New Year's resolutions into internet stone, I was incredibly thankful for the comments left with the list. Helpful and commiserating readers shared ideas on how to succeed, suggestions on what to read and joined in fist-shaking at the lure of Apple products. So while I may not know how much your savings bond has gained interest, I can help out with some simple comic book reading resolutions and hopefully can inspire others to make their own. I also have a kick ass cosplay pic in lieu of a touching WWII wedding tale. So there's that.
Want to know which resolution I miserably failed at last year? Keep reading, true believers!

[Previously on The Grumpy Color's 2011 roundup: Tom and Carla sat down to discuss DC and Marvel's corporate movements, how much cat-burglars love underwear, and how DC events progressed throughout the year to tumble right on into the New 52. Join us, won't you, as Tom has asked if, in light of the success of DC's reboot, Marvel will follow that lead with "Season One" and the Point-One projects, or perhaps something more… drastic?]
Carla: Oh Tom, you are adorable.
You see, Marvel did this thing, you might have heard of it: the Ultimate universe? It's our having our reboot cake and eating our rich continuity other cake too. Two-fisted cake, sir! We can renovate and innovate to our heart's content, rework the Avengers into the Ultimates, recostume everyone on the X-Men into a slicker, movie finish and draw readers in with a fresh setting and start. Meanwhile, business as usual can continue in our regularly scheduled books, and everyone should be fat and happy on delicious comics cake.
[Continuing their yearly tradition, Tom Bondurant and Carla Hoffman have joined forces to compare notes on the the relative fortunes of DC Comics and Marvel Comics. Here is Part 1 of 2.]
Tom: Okay, old chum, if it's late December it must be time to wrap up 2011 and usher in 2012. It's the New 52 versus dozens of Avengers and Spider-Man titles! Christopher Nolan, David Goyer, and Christian Bale versus Joss Whedon, Andrew Garfield, and Earth's Mightiest Heroes! High collars versus Point Ones! Judd Winick and Guillem March's Catwoman versus … who, exactly?
Carla: I read Catwoman #1 and stopped there so this analogy is lost on me. Don't go where I can't follow, Frodo.
Tom: That was a dig at Marvel's lack of female-lead titles….
Carla: Oh! I thought it was about our underwear-clad heroines. She-Hulk and Emma Frost have been flashing their bras at people since the 80's! And don't get me started on the Black Cat, how many female creative people we have, etc. etc. =D

You'd be surprised by how many people don't know how comics "work." Really. Moms and aunts mostly, but a few granddads slide in or brothers or other assorted family simply don't know or choose not to know. Mind you, it's a little tragic to say that how comics work is unfathomable to anyone who, I don' know, has functioning sight and understands how to read. You would think that the average Christmas shopper would be able to figure this out, but I stand before you as a retail clerk from a local comic shop and can announce with some shame that "how comics work" is apparently one of the mysteries of the universe.
With this in mind, it's a little easier to understand how pop culture has accepted our sequential art and storytelling style. Comic book movies and TV shows (as we've gotten them in the new millennium) traditionally start at the beginning. People want to be there as our hero dons a mask for the first time or witness the tragedy of Uncle Ben's death with them, any moment in which mortal man becomes …well, super. The idea that the new Amazing Spider-Man movie could bear the words "The Untold Origin" seems ludicrous since I'm pretty sure this is an origin well explored. But here we are anticipating a new story that's the same story promising new information on what we already know.
Why? Because comic books are an impenetrable wall that no mere mortal can scale. Despite the fact that the tools are simple, despite the fact that basic characters and story concepts are now known around the world by the mass market, comics remain confusing. To the general public, the common knowledge may be there, but understanding lives underground with the Morlocks and Mole Men.

The Sacramento Kings have cleared salary cap space by trading Nik Stauskas, Jason Thompson and Carl Landry to the Philadelphia 76ers.
Philadelphia was targeting Stauskas in the deal and will take on the salaries of Thompson and Landry as the cost.
Sacramento is pursuing Monta Ellis, Rajon Rondo and Wesley Matthews in free agency.
The 76ers receive a protected first round pick from the Kings and also get swap rights with Sacramento in the first round of two other drafts, per Zach Lowe.

Wow! Not one but two 100 mg of Morphine add Xanax 2mg, and wash it down with alcohol??? You do need help, stop the drugs and alcohol and find yourself a good psychiatrist, something in your life is causing you to take unnecessary chances with your life. this combination could very well have killed you! What ever is bothering you or making you take these chances, I implore you to seek out some good professional help. I'm not trying to preach or make you feel badly. It's just pure unadulterated concern for your safety! May I ask how old you are??? My dear friend please look for some one who you can talk to and get some help OK!
My best to you and good luck, and check back to let us know how you're doing OK! Bless You
Very courageous and caring advice. I think he either is too embarrassed to answer or God forbid, something worse. It's now been 6 days, I hope he is ok...

Creator: Michael Rosen
Michael Rosen (born 7 May 1946) is a Children's author and poet, known for his work on YouTube where he tells his stories, complete with strange facial expressions. He is most famous in Britain for his "Going on a Bear Hunt" song, and he is a popular target for YouTube Poop. His material can be found at the channel "artificedesign".
Tropes that apply to him:
- Large Ham: He ticks all the boxes, with his ridiculous facial expressions.
- Lost Forever: His book "The Hypnotiser", containing some of his best stories, is out of print, and his YouTube channel is the only place to view the stories.
- Slasher Smile: A rather famous one, present in nearly all his videos.
Tropes in his poems and stories:
- Anthropomorphic Food: "Fast Food" describes a hamburger running away from the bar where he's about to be fried. Contains a bit of a pro-vegetarian Aesop as well.
- Parody Commercial: "Toenails" is one for, well, toenails.
- Sadist Teacher: The teacher described in "Strict", who forbids students from breathing in her class. Those who didn't keel over and die from not breathing were sent to "school prison" if they slammed the desk lid while snatching a quick breath under the desk, where they'd be strung up in a dungeon with rats nibbling at their toes."Ma'am? Can I go out and do some breathing?"
"No! You've got all playtime to do that!"
- Shaggy Dog Story: "The Skyfoogle". A man puts up a tent, promising to show off a terrfying creature called the Skyfoogle. He then runs out of the tent, claiming the Skyfoogle to have escaped. None of them has seen the man, their money, or the Skyfoogle again.
- Shout-Out: Possibly the title of "Tomato Two, or How I Learned to Love Tomatoes" (which gets interesting when you realise Michael is British)
- Squick: "Horrible" is about Michael buying a cheap pizza in a paper bag, which he splatters all over his face and knuckles, breathes in through his nose, whilst he dribbles everywhere licks his tongue over his knuckles and gets bag stuck in his mouth.

Every type of location presents its own photographic challenges. For the stark wilderness of Death Valley National Park, these can include harsh desert light, stark landscapes, and a vastness that can be daunting to capture in a single frame. In this course, travel along with author, teacher, and photographer Ben Long to Death Valley to learn about the challenges and techniques behind capturing the exotic beauty and surprising details of the desert.
(SOUND). Alright. I shot, I shot some more, out on the lake. We're, we're getting into the last of the light. So this is a lot like shooting in the late afternoon. It's now changing very quickly. But it's a little bit harder to tell that it's changing very quickly because it's not changing into dark, it's just changing into, flat Low contrast. So I went to get back on the road heading back out because as I drive this way, I'm driving into the sun. And I think I'm going to start to see some very different things.
I'm going to get a very different perspective on the whole area, very different from what I saw coming in. So, this is really just like what I've been saying about when your out walking around, you got to be sure your keeping track of light in all directions. I'm hoping that as we drive into the sun, I'm going to see some things light up in interesting ways. So, I'm just going to drive along here, I'm keeping my eyes peeled. I'm trying not to roll the car, but more importantly, I'm trying to find some good shots. (NOISE) I don't know what this is. I'm not convinced it's a naturally occurring phenomenon. But it's really different and interesting and starting to get this cool, these striations on the mountain.
So I'm going to see what, what I can do here. (NOISE) The appeal of something like this is it's converging lines, so that's just immediately something that can focus the viewer's attention. I like that it's pointing (SOUND) right to that white stripe on the mountains. I'm just not sure how much I need here. I like these two little rocks in the foreground, so (SOUND) I'll shoot it with that. But it might be that (SOUND) that's a better shot.
It's hazy. I'm going to be able to, of course, take that out with a black point adjustment. I don't think there's much else here, so I'm going to keep going while the light's still good.
