"Apocalypse," you say? "Should I be concerned about this?"
Probably not, but in case you've been living on the planet Nibiru (we'll get there later), we here at Playboy.com have assembled a quick list of FAQs to help enlighten you on everything Mayan and Mayhem–related.
Mayans? What do they have to do with this?
The Mayans are the ones who started this whole mess when they figured that planning things 1500 years into the future was probably unnecessary. Before the Europeans arrived in Central America, the Mayans used a Long Count calendar that divided time into 5,125 year cycles. The cycle we're in now is considered to be the "fourth world age" and is set to conclude on December 21, 2012.
What happens then?
We're gonna go ahead and say "nothing," but if you're part of the militant religious right, this month may be a little more stressful than your typical holiday season. You should plan around such things as the synchronized eruption of multiple supervolcanoes, being engulfed by a supernova, the triggering of a solar flare with energy equal to 100 billion atom bombs and, of course, colliding with the planet Nibiru.
Did you say supervolcanoes?
We sure did. Supervolcanoes are, you guessed it, big volcanoes capable of erupting lava and ash over a distance of 1000 cubic kilometers and thousands of times greater than most historic volcanic eruptions. They do things like wipe out entire species and trigger ice ages.
I don't live by one, do I?
Maybe. Known supervolcanoes are the Yellowstone, Long Valley and Valles Calderas in the United States, Lake Toba in Indonesia, Taupo Volcano in New Zealand and the Aira Caldera in Japan.
Wait, wait, wait, Planet Nibiru? Isn't that where the Gungans lived?
No, that was Naboo. Nibiru is supposedly the planet that will collide with Earth while we're all busy driving through lakes of lava and avoiding solar flares. The hypothesis was first put forward by Nancy Lieder, a woman who claims she has been in communication with extraterrestrials through an alien implant in her brain.
From the star system Zeti Reticuli. The event was originally set to occur in May of 2003, but proponents of the theory have, shockingly, abandoned the proposed date.
Wouldn't it be pretty obvious if a planet was about to run into us?
Yes, the runaway planet in the sky would be hard to ignore.
Isn't a supernova an exploding star? That sounds pretty plausible.
It is an exploding star and it's a very real occurrence. Some doomsday crusaders have suggested that the red supergiant known as Betelgeuse will undergo a supernova in the not-so-distant future, but science (remember science?) tells us that predicting a supernova inside the range of 100,000 years is impossible. Furthermore, for a supernova to send flaming star fragments crashing towards the Earth, it would have to be closer than 25 light-years away. Betelgeuse is 600.
Light-years measure distance?
My sunscreen doesn't cover solar flares. Should I get a higher SPF?
Why would the Mayans do this to us?
The Mayans didn't actually do anything to us, and for anyone not trying to cause mass hysteria, the Mayan inscriptions suggest that the end of this cycle would be cause for celebration and even mention future events that would occur post–fourth world age.
So why did their calendar stop?
You'd be surprised how laborious carving out 5,125 years' worth of astrological events onto stone tablets can be.
Why are we even considering a calendar created thousands of years ago?
Well, along with being incredibly advanced in the fields of science and astronomy, the Mayans correctly noted the date of every solstice in the fourth world age and also predicted, with surprising accuracy, solar and lunar eclipses.
Are the current Maya people worried about this?
You mean the normal, level-headed people of Southern Mexico and Northern Central America? No, they're busy being normal, level-headed people living in Southern Mexico and Northern Central America.
So what you're saying is that I shouldn't incite mass apocalypse-related riots?
Not unless the aliens tell you otherwise.

I remeber as a teenager getting into the blues and Robert Johnson's persona and legend really stood out in the early 90's,glad to see DFH make a brew to honor him,even if it wasnt that great.Poured into an imperial nonic a deep copper color with a nice sticky 1/2 finger white head.A mix of alcohol,biscuit,and lemon pith in the nose,the alcohol played a big role here,you can tell its a beast before even taking a sip.Sweet and alcoholic at the start with some bscuit malt,the citric hop profile is nice but a little muted because of the alcohol/sweetness.Its a sipper and isnt a real bad beer,but the big alcohol seems to dominate the beer a little in my opinion.

Pours a beautiful hazy yellow to golden pour with great, active carbonation. The head is sturdy and bright white, eventually settling into a thin layer of foam. The aromas of hops and citrus are very upfront. Not really picking up the Lemon, as advertised. Taste-- there's the lemon! Hard hitting bitterness engulf the mouth and hammers the tongue...nice. The hop finish is strong and lingers nicely, not acidic. The hop flavor does not linger on the front of the tongue, making the flavor a little less full than I'd like. The heat from the alcohol reaches the back of the throat after the first couple of sips. As the foamy lace makes its way to the bottom of the glass, my mouth won't stop watering. The citrus, hop, and alcohol coalition is brutal (in a good way). The body is medium and only slightly slick after half a glass. Overall the mouthfeel is pleasant if you can stop focusing on the beating the back of your pallet is taking. I really like this AIPA and wil have another and another (not all tonite).

Robert Johnson's HellHound Ale, 10% alcohol brewed with lemon. Imperial IPA style. Served in a Chimay goblet.
A- Pours a bright orange fluid with firey red edges in the sunlight, quarter inch head falls to a thin frothy head leaving mild sticky lacing on the glass.
S- Smells of flowers at full bloom, summer grass, and light lemon scents are dominate factor on the smell.
T-M- Taste is a very strong lemony zest with fresh cut grass and a dominate yeasty malt flavor. Mouthfeel is slightly mild with smooth carbonation that dances over the buds adding to drinkablity.
O- Good beer for the taste but the price could be better.

Bottled 2011 1
750 ml bottle in a snifter.
Cherry amber color, slight haze. Medium-sized off white head.
Lots of citrus in the aroma: mostly lemon and lemon zest, but also orange and tangerine. Some sweet malt. A hint of alcohol.
Taste followed aroma. A lot of citrus, with citrus hops. Sweet malt. Alcohol not detectable; would never know it was 10% ABV.
Nice balance.
Dangerously drinkable.

A - Pours orange-brown with a bit of noticeable sediment. One finger of off-white head fades pretty quickly to a collar but leaves some lacing behind.
S - Lemon rind and juice dominate the aroma, though some pine hops do come through. A bit of malt also present, and some sweet florals as well.
T - Bitter up front with both pine and lemon bitterness. Lots of lemon, again rind and pulp. A little one note, but I'm enjoying it. I can taste and feel some malt, but can't put specific flavors to it. Some noticeable alcohol in the taste.
M - Medium mouthfeel with good carbonation. Finishes bitter but not clean.
O - Overall probably not worthy of Robert Johnson, but a pretty good beer. Has bitterness in spades, but missing a more balanced flavor profile. Glad I tried it, but not sorry this is a one-off.

Had this on tap late summer '11 at the advice of an enthusiastic barkeep.
Preciously served in a DFH snifter. Looks deep bright orange on the pour. Oooh this looks nice.
But my hopes were dampered upon smelling this beer. Was expecting to encounter a nice citrusy hop bomb, but instead smelled some dirty, earthy off concoction. Yuck.
Took a hard first sip and found myself recoiling. Very unpleasant musty taste, the malt & hops are fighting each other in this beer. Lots of unpleasant hot alcohol flavors too.
Took a break and drank some water after the first taste just to re-gain my bearings. Took another sip and it was just as disjointed as the first.
Struggled through a few more sips then pushed the glass toward the barkeep. Told him I hated his suggested beer and thankfully he took it off the tab.

Translucent but cloudy, a heady foam caps the liquid. It's like orange marmalade with marshmallows on top. Heavy hop lacing cakes the glass.
It smells of balanced IPA with a hint of lemon zing. If I had a lemon, I'd throw one in for more influence--turns this into a helluva shandy!
Good, relatively heavy malt bill w/ more lemon influence as it warms. I'd say Squall's better, but it's fun 2 enjoy. :-) L8er.

750ml bottle. Pours a hazy golden amber with a medium creamy white head that retains well and laces the glass.
The aroma is some caramel and crystal malt with tropical fruits, bubble gum and piney hops and notes of tobacco.
The flavor is caramel malts and bubble gum with a little tropical fruit. The finish is charred strong bitterness from the hops. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with smooth carbonation.
Overall, an OK DIPA. I don't really care for the flavors. It's kind of similar to the Robert Johnson that I listened to while drinking - I was expecting more.

Shared the bottle with my wife.
Poured into my New Belgium chalice.
The beer is orange amber with a sticky white head. The head laces but doesn't stick.
The aroma is bold hops with a mix of malt. The nose is very earthy with an almost spicy alcohol at the end.
The taste has a match to the aroma but the alcohol is more subdued that I thought. The taste is sweet malty with a big earthy hop. As the carbonation subsides a nice bitter finish.

750ml brown bottle with a bottled on date.
Color: Brass, clear w/ a beautiful froth on top.
Smell: Herbal, lemon from rind to juice, buttery ghost, bready, sweet, golden raisins and light broth.
Taste & Mouthfeel: Super smooth, fuller body. Fierce alcohol, solid malt foundation, lemon theatrics. Peel talks to grain, alcohol humbly on its own ... warming everything, toasty but not hot. Citric and mint hops, fresh hay maltiness. Lemon lingers and so does the grain and alcohol.
Overall: Hellhound has a lot to say but only whispers a little bit with every sip, lots of sips to take so I'm pretty sure I got the whole gist of it.

Alternative Dispute Resolution
N.M. Supreme Court Is Fifth to Strike Down Class Action Waiver
Posted Jul 3, 2008 5:52 AM CDT
By Debra Cassens Weiss
State supreme courts are increasingly striking down mandatory arbitration agreements that bar class action lawsuits.
The latest state court to act is New Mexico's, the Wall Street Journal reports (sub. req.). It ruled last week that a class action ban was unconscionable because it "essentially foreclosed" relief in a case where individual damages amounted to only $10 or $20.
The court ruled in a suit by plaintiff Robert Fiser of Albuquerque, N.M., who claims Dell Inc. misrepresented the memory size of its computers. Dell had sought to compel arbitration.
Since 2006, four other state supreme courts have also struck down class action bans in consumer contracts, the story says. They are in Illinois, New Jersey, North Carolina and Washington. But many federal courts have upheld such bans.
Law professor Jean Sternlight of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, told the newspaper she expects federal courts to begin to strike down class action bans since judges usually apply state law when deciding the matter.

You might not care a whit about Jason Varitek. You're only reading this because you accidentally clicked on a link on the sidebar of one of your favorite team blogs. Sorry about that.
But you can still relate to the Jason Varitek retirement, even if only through the perspective of your own team. Every team has a player like Varitek, whose popularity and synonymity with the franchise transcends WAR totals. Whether that player is Pat Burrell or Frank White, every team has a player who isn't going into the Hall of Fame, but will always be a local legend.
Varitek's one of those guys for Red Sox fans. And over at Over the Monster, Matthew Kory puts his sentiments into words:
So why am I writing about Jason Varitek's retirement announcement? Because I didn't expect to feel anything watching it...
... it was a strange sight to see the big man standing in front of his peers trying to hold back. I hadn't expected to feel anything at that point. Players move on all the time in baseball. They're there one year and gone the next. It's part of being a fan. But Varitek was different. I know because as he got choked up, I felt a lump in my throat.
Maybe your player is Dave Stieb or Ron Cey. Figuring out who your team's comp is for Varitek in the warm-fuzzy department will help you understand what Red Sox fans are feeling right now.

Wow Darrah, way to show what a poor loser you are. No grace or class. I guess you think the voting public is a bunch of idiots. As for the CEO-type Pollart, he's paying for his allegiance to Ghysels and his view that teacher's suffer from "a victim mentality".
on Nov 7, 2012 at 7:20 am
I expect that folks tended to vote for candidates with Teacher as their occupation. The PTAs should run teachers in the next election.

After getting busted for his fraudulent ad, Nelson should have withdrawn from the race. He cannot be trusted

BEREA, Ohio (AP) -- The new director of the Ohio Turnpike says its policies for payouts to employees are too generous.
The turnpike's top engineer retired last year with $287,000 in pay and separation payments, highlighting attractive benefits for employees of the toll road. The money paid to 30-year turnpike employee Dan Castrigano included an $111,000 separation payment.
The turnpike, which is under scrutiny by Gov. John Kasich's (KAY'-siks) administration, says the payments were owed under turnpike pay policies.
Executive Director Richard Hodges says those policies need to be changed.
According to The Plain Dealer (http://bit.ly/w3XwaW ), the chief engineer was among 29 workers who cashed out $20,000 or more in unused sick and vacation pay upon retiring last year. The turnpike paid out $1.43 million in separation pay last year.

Located where the Gordon Biersch used to be, in the Century Cinema Center.
It's built as a replica lodge, lots of rustic woods, paintings of dogs and the out doors. Not too many tvs, but a good separation of space. As well, an out door seating area, complete with a fire pit.
Beer selection is ok, while not super diverse, they have enough to make most people happy. Food selection is really good, pizza, burgers, fish, steak, pasta, and plenty of mixed drinks.
Taste of the food is good. Tried the ahi burger, really good. The wife had a marguerita pizza, great taste, if not traditional.
Our waiter was waiting for us when we arrived at the table, all the food and drinks.came quick, and correct.
Prices are average, so that makes for a pretty good value.
Overall, I will definitely come again.

I work in the area and have been here numerous times since it opened and never had a bad experience.
The bartenders are cool but the beer selection isn't off the chart. They have their home brews and usually an IPA and couple seasonals on tap.
The food covers all the bases from stir fry to pastas to meatloaf. The stir fry is pretty damn good with a couple of different sauces to choose from.
A great place to sit at the bar during luch and watch a game, drink a pint (or 20oz) , and get your grub on.

I just went this location with my friend Drake a few days ago and have also been the Torrance location a few times now, I think there is three of them total, these restaurants have something to do with Mimi's Cafe chain I think, the place is pretty cool inside and wide open, very modern and clean with a big bar area, they also have a cool patio, more similar to a Cheesecake Factory than anything else I can think of just plus the beer aspect, service is great every time I go and food gets out fast, this place has five of their own brews that are made for them by Bayhawk Ales in Irvine, and I heard rumors that Firestone makes a few of them as well, when I was there they had their pale, blonde, amber, hefeweizen, and one I cannot remember right now, also on tap was Fat Tire, Spaten, Arrogant Bastard, Stone IPA, Firestone Double Barrel Ale, and a few other craft brews, their food is really good too and they have some oddball things on there, chicken sandwich is my favorite, salads are very good as well, also tasty french fries, it is fairly priced as well, I am sure I will eat here again soon, I go for the food and not the beer, but if you want a good meal with some decent beer, then it is worth checking out

I've been to Lazy Dog half a dozen times since they opened. They have branded beers and a handful of other micros/imports. Each time I have been they had a Lagunitas worth a try.
Lazy Dog serves an inexspensive large size (22 oz?), which is nice.
The food is decent. The menu has everything from stir fry bowls to burritos to jerk chicken.
The best thing about Lazy Dog is the ability to sit out side on the patio furniture. The patio is considered part of the bar, so if there is a long wait, just plant your a$$ somewhere out in the patio and some server will eventually find you.
Too much of a wait and no patio seats? Walk to the Auld Irisher 50 feet away and enjoy a pint of Guiness/Boddingtons/Smithwicks while you wait.

Why does it seem all the beer bars in Orange are located on the west side of town while the beer stores are located in the east? To add to the contrast is Lazy Dog Cafe, which is part of an entertainment complex only a couple blocks east of the Honda Center. Lazy Dog is an interesting resto bar; they have good food, a good beer selection, and an outdoor patio with a firepit you can sit by. The service has been good every time I've been there, including the speed of the food order I have placed.
The beer selection can be divided into two sections: house brews and outside brews. Lazy Dog features five "house brews", which are contract brewed by Bayhawk Ales and Firestone Walker. The house beers offered are Pale Ale, Amber Ale, Porter, Honey Blonde, and Hefeweizen. I've tried each one and I prefer the pale ale. As for outside brews, offered on-tap are Arrogant Bastard, Stone IPA, Lagunitas Pils, Spaten Lager, Pabst, Firestone Double Barrel, and Skinny Dip (taking the place of Fat Tre for the time being). There is some rotation among the tap selection. Draft beers are sold in 16 ounce and 22 ounce sizes. They sell beer by the bottle too, where Sierra Nevada Pale Ale and Chimay Grande Réserve highlight the stage of mostly macros.
Attending a sporting event at the Honda Center or Angels Stadium and want a good place to drink at after the event? Come by Lazy Dog Cafe and grab a pint!

May Day on May 1 is an ancient Northern Hemisphere spring festival and usually a public holiday;[1] it is also a traditional spring holiday in many cultures. May Day coincides with International Workers' Day, and in many countries that celebrate the latter, it may be referred to as "May Day".
May Day is related to the Celtic festival of Beltane and the Germanic festival of Walpurgis Night. May Day falls half a year from November 1 – another cross-quarter day which is also associated with various northern European paganisms and the year in the Northern Hemisphere – and it has traditionally been an occasion for popular and often raucous celebrations.[citation needed]
As Europe became Christianized, the pagan holidays lost their religious character and either changed into popular secular celebrations, as with May Day, or were merged with or replaced by new Christian holidays as with Christmas, Easter, and All Saint's Day. In the 20th and continuing into the 21st century, many neopagans began reconstructing the old traditions and celebrating May Day as a pagan religious festival again.[2] Note that the source noted does not support any of the changes claimed by the previous statement. The only significant Christianization of May day is essential localized to Germany where it is one of many historic days that were used to celebrate St. Walburga (the saint credited with bringing Christianity to Germany).
The earliest May Day celebrations appeared in pre-Christian times, with the festival of Flora, the Roman goddess of flowers, and the Walpurgis Night celebrations of the Germanic countries. It is also associated with the Gaelic Beltane. Many pagan celebrations were abandoned or Christianized during the process of conversion in Europe. A more secular version of May Day continues to be observed in Europe and America. In this form, May Day may be best known for its tradition of dancing the maypole dance and crowning of the Queen of the May. Various Neopagan groups celebrate reconstructed (to varying degrees) versions of these customs on May 1.
The day was a traditional summer holiday in many pre-Christian European pagan cultures. While February 1 was the first day of Spring, May 1 was the first day of summer; hence, the summer solstice on June 25 (now June 21) was Midsummer.
In the Roman Catholic tradition, May is observed as Mary's month, and in these circles May Day is usually a celebration of the Blessed Virgin Mary. In this connection, in works of art, school skits, and so forth, Mary's head will often be adorned with flowers in a May crowning.
Fading in popularity since the late 20th century is the giving of "May baskets", small baskets of sweets and/or flowers, usually left anonymously on neighbors' doorsteps.[3]
Traditional British May Day rites and celebrations include Morris dancing, crowning a May Queen and celebrations involving a maypole. Much of this tradition derives from the pagan Anglo-Saxon customs held during "Þrimilci-mōnaþ"[4] (the Old English name for the month of May meaning Month of Three Milkings) along with many Celtic traditions.
May Day has been a traditional day of festivities throughout the centuries. May Day is most associated with towns and villages celebrating springtime fertility (of the soil, livestock, and people) and revelry with village fetes and community gatherings. Since the reform of the Catholic calendar, May 1 is the Feast of St Joseph the Worker, the patron saint of workers. Seeding has been completed by this date and it was convenient to give farm labourers a day off. Perhaps the most significant of the traditions is the maypole, around which traditional dancers circle with ribbons.
The May Day bank holiday, on the first Monday in May, was traditionally the only one to affect the state school calendar, although new arrangements in some areas to even out the length of school terms mean that Good Friday (a common law holiday) and Easter Monday (a bank holiday), which vary from year to year, may also fall during term time. The Spring Bank Holiday on the first Monday in May was created in 1978; May Day itself – May 1 – is not a public holiday in England (unless it falls on a Monday). In February 2011, the UK Parliament was reported to be considering scrapping the bank holiday associated with May Day, replacing it with a bank holiday in October, possibly coinciding with Trafalgar Day (celebrated on October 21), to create a "United Kingdom Day".[5]
May Day was abolished and its celebration banned by puritan parliaments during the Interregnum, but reinstated with the restoration of Charles II in 1660.[6] May 1, 1707, was the day the Act of Union came into effect, joining England and Scotland to form the Kingdom of Great Britain.
In Oxford, it is traditional for May Morning revellers to gather below the Great Tower of Magdalen College at 6:00 a.m. to listen to the college choir sing traditional madrigals as a conclusion to the previous night's celebrations. It is then thought to be traditional for some people to jump off Magdalen Bridge into the River Cherwell. However this has actually only been fashionable since the 1970s, possibly due to the presence of television cameras. In recent years, the bridge has been closed on 1 May to prevent people from jumping, as the water under the bridge is only 2 feet (61 cm) deep and jumping from the bridge has resulted in serious injury in the past. There are still people who insist on climbing the barriers and leaping into the water, causing themselves injury.[8]
In Durham, students of the University of Durham gather on Prebend's Bridge to see the sunrise and enjoy festivities, folk music, dancing, madrigal singing and a barbecue breakfast. This is an emerging Durham tradition, with patchy observance since 2001.
Whitstable, Kent, hosts a good example of more traditional May Day festivities, where the Jack in the Green festival was revived in 1976 and continues to lead an annual procession of morris dancers through the town on the May Bank Holiday. A separate revival occurred in Hastings in 1983 and has become a major event in the town calendar. A traditional Sweeps Festival is performed over the May bank holiday in Rochester, Kent, where the Jack in the Green is woken at dawn on May 1 by Morris dancers.
At 7:15 p.m. on May 1 each year, the Kettle Bridge Clogs[9] morris dancing side dance across Barming Bridge (otherwise known as the Kettle Bridge), which spans the River Medway near Maidstone, to mark the official start of their morris dancing season. Also known as Ashtoria Day in Northern parts of rural Cumbria. A celebration of unity and female bonding. Although not very well known, it is often cause for huge celebration.
The Maydayrun involves thousands of motorbikes taking a 55-mile (89 km) trip from London (Locksbottom) to the Hastings seafront, East Sussex. The event has been taking place for almost 30 years now and has grown in interest from around the country, both commercially and publicly. The event is not officially organised; the police only manage the traffic, and volunteers manage the parking.
Padstow in Cornwall holds its annual Obby-Oss (Hobby Horse) day of festivities. This is believed to be one of the oldest fertility rites in the UK; revellers dance with the Oss through the streets of the town and even through the private gardens of the citizens, accompanied by accordion players and followers dressed in white with red or blue sashes who sing the traditional 'May Day' song. The whole town is decorated with springtime greenery, and every year thousands of onlookers attend. Prior to the 19th-century distinctive May day celebrations were widespread throughout West Cornwall, and are being revived in St. Ives and Penzance.
Kingsand, Cawsand and Millbrook in Cornwall celebrate Flower Boat Ritual on the May Day bank holiday. A model of the ship The Black Prince is covered in flowers and is taken in procession from the Quay at Millbrook to the beach at Cawsand where it is cast adrift. The houses in the villages are decorated with flowers and people traditionally wear red and white clothes. There are further celebrations in Cawsand Square with Morris dancing and May pole dancing.
At the University of St Andrews, some of the students gather on the beach late on April 30 and run into the North Sea at sunrise on May Day, occasionally naked. This is accompanied by torchlit processions and much elated celebration.
Both Edinburgh and Glasgow organize Mayday festivals and rallies. In Edinburgh, the Beltane Fire Festival is held on the evening of May eve and into the early hours of May Day on the city's Calton Hill. An older Edinburgh tradition has it that young women who climb Arthur's Seat and wash their faces in the morning dew will have lifelong beauty.
In London the May Day march and rally, organised by the London May Day Committee (South East Region Trades Councils), gather together in Clerkenwell Green near the Marx Memorial Library before marching to Trafalgar Square for a rally with speeches from representatives of local, national and international trades unions and campaigning organisations. This event always takes place on May 1st - with the intention to reinstate May 1st. regardless of what day it falls on, as a national holiday. More images and information of London's May Day rally is covered by the "Working Class Heroes" project.
Celebrations among the younger generations take place on May Day Eve, see Walpurgis Night in Finland, most prominent being the afternoon 'crowning' of statues in towns around the country with a student cap.
May Day is known as Vappu, from the Swedish term. This is a public holiday that is the only carnival-style street festivity in the country. People young and old, particularly students, party outside, picnic and wear caps or other decorative clothing.
Some Finns make a special lemonade from lemons, brown sugar, and yeast called "sima". It contains very little alcohol, so even children can drink it. A similar product can also be bought in all stores. Some Finns also make doughnuts and a crisp pastry fried in oil made from a similar, more liquid dough.
Balloons and other decorations like paper streamers are seen everywhere.
On May 1, 1561, King Charles IX of France received a lily of the valley as a lucky charm. He decided to offer a lily of the valley each year to the ladies of the court. At the beginning of the 20th century, it became custom to give a sprig of lily of the valley, a symbol of springtime, on May 1. The government permits individuals and workers' organisations to sell them tax-free. Nowadays, people may present loved ones either with bunches of lily of the valley or dog rose flowers.[10]
In rural regions of Germany, especially the Harz Mountains, Walpurgisnacht celebrations of pagan origin are traditionally held on the night before May Day, including bonfires and the wrapping of a Maibaum (maypole). Young people use this opportunity to party, while the day itself is used by many families to get some fresh air. Motto: "Tanz in den Mai!" ("Dance into May!"). In the Rhineland, May 1 is also celebrated by the delivery of a maypole, a tree covered in streamers to the house of a girl the night before. The tree is typically from a love interest, though a tree wrapped only in white streamers is a sign of dislike. Females usually place roses or rice in form of a heart at the house of their beloved one. It is common to stick the heart to a window or place it in front of the doormat.
On leap years, it is the responsibility of the females to place the maypole.
All the action is usually done secretly and it is an individual's choice whether to give a hint of their identity or stay anonymous.
May Day was not established as a public holiday until 1933. As Labour Day, many political parties and unions host activities related to work and employment.
May Day has been celebrated in Ireland since pagan times as the feast of Bealtaine and in latter times as Mary's day. Traditionally, bonfires were lit to mark the coming of summer and to banish the long nights of winter. Officially Irish May Day holiday is the first Monday in May. Old traditions such as bonfires are no longer widely observed, though the practice still persists in some places across the country. Limerick, Clare and many other people in other counties still keep on this tradition such as the town of Arklow in Co. Wicklow.[11]
On May Day, the Romanians celebrate the arminden (or armindeni), the beginning of summer, symbolically tied with the protection of crops and farm animals. The name comes from Slavonic Jeremiinŭ dĭnĭ, meaning prophet Jeremiah's day, but the celebration rites and habits of this day are apotropaic and pagan (possibly originating in the cult of the god Pan).
The day is also called ziua pelinului (mugwort day) or ziua bețivilor (drunkards' day) and it is celebrated to insure good wine in autumn and, for people and farm animals alike, good health and protection from the elements of nature (storms, hail, illness, pests). People would have parties in the nature with lăutari (fiddlers), for those who could afford it. There, it is customary to roast and eat lamb, also eat new mutton cheese and drink mugwort-flavoured wine or just red wine to refresh the blood and get protection from diseases. On the way back, the men wear lilac or mugwort flowers on their hats.
Other apotropaic rites include, in some areas of the country, people washing their faces with the morning dew (for good health) and adorning the gates for good luck and abundance with green branches or with birch saplings (for the houses with maiden girls). The entries to the animals' shelters are also adorned with green branches. All branches are left in place until the wheat harvest when they are used in the fire which will bake the first bread from the new wheat.
On May Day eve, country women do not work in the field as well as in the house to avoid devastating storms and hail coming down on the village.
Arminden is also ziua boilor (oxen day) and thus the animals are not to be used for work, or else they could die or their owners could get ill.
It is said that the weather is always good on May Day to allow people to celebrate.
The more traditional festivities have moved to the day before, Walpurgis Night ("Valborgsmässoafton"), known in some locales as simply "Last of April".
The first of May is instead celebrated as International Workers' Day.
May Day is celebrated in some parts of the Province of British Columbia. Celebrations often take place not on May 1 but during the Victoria Day long weekend, later in the month and when the weather is likely to be better. The honour of having the longest continually observed May Day in the British Commonwealth – since 1870 – is claimed by the BC city of New Westminster.
May Day was also celebrated by some early European settlers of the American continent. In some parts of the United States, May Baskets are made. These are small baskets usually filled with flowers or treats and left at someone's doorstep. The giver rings the bell and runs away. The person receiving the basket tries to catch the fleeing giver; if caught, a kiss is exchanged.[citation needed]
International Workers' Day began in the United States, as a commemoration of the Haymarket Massacre of 1886 in Chicago.[12] After the successful 1917 workers' revolution in Russia, May Day became a widely celebrated holiday in the industrial areas of the United States.[13][14][15] However, the growing support for socialism and communism by the American public was soon met with a reactionary fear campaign called the "Red Scare," which resulted in the imprisonment of activists and the promotion of anti-communist sentiment in American society. After the stock market crash of 1929 and the ensuing Great Depression, while the Soviet Union was experiencing rapid industrialization and economic expansion, May Day was once again widely celebrated with mass street demonstrations in American cities while public support for socialism began to rise to unprecedented levels.
After the Allied victory in the Second World War in 1945, friendly relationships between the US and the Soviet Union quickly disintegrated and the Cold War began. A new campaign of anti-communist hysteria was pushed by conservatives such as Senator Joseph McCarthy and the House Un-American Activities Committee, resulting in the federal persecution of Communists and extreme public paranoia towards the perceived threat they posed to the "American way." May Day celebrations became politically unacceptable, and many demonstrations were met with severe police suppression. To combat the celebration of International Workers' Day, nationalist propaganda holidays were established in its place, such as Loyalty Day and Law Day in 1958.[16] By the end of the second Red Scare, May Day was thereafter continually celebrated as a day of labor demonstrations and public protest but never regained the popularity of the past.
Modern May Day ceremonies in the U.S. vary greatly from region to region and many unite both the holidays "Green Root" (pagan) and "Red Root" (labor) traditions.[17] In 2006, after the passing of an "Illegal Immigration Control Act," May Day was celebrated largely around the issue of immigration reform. After the financial collapse of 2007 and the ensuing Great Recession, May Day demonstrations grew in popularity and the holiday was widely observed and coordinated by the Occupy Movement in 2012.
In Hawaii, May Day is also known as Lei Day, and it is normally set aside as a day to celebrate island culture in general and the culture of the Native Hawaiians in particular. Invented by poet and local newspaper columnist Eric Kosciuszko in the 1920s, it has since been adopted by state and local government, as well as local residents, and has taken on the sense of a general spring celebration.
The first official Lei Day was proposed in 1927 in Honolulu by poet and artist Don Blanding. Leonard "Red" and Ruth Hawk composed "May Day Is Lei Day in Hawai'i", the traditional holiday song. Originally it was a contemporary fox trot, later rearranged as the Hawaiian hula song performed today.[citation needed]
May Day is celebrated as a public holiday in only one territory, the Northern Territory, where the public holiday occurs on the first Monday in May. In Australia generally, unofficial activities and commemorations associated with International Workers' Day take place on May Day.
International Workers' Day, also known as May Day, is a celebration of the international labour movement. May 1 is a national holiday in more than 80 countries and celebrated unofficially in many other countries. May Day has long been a focal point for demonstrations by various socialist, communist and anarchist groups commemorating the 1886 Haymarket affair in Chicago.

A.Master electrician Rex
Cauldwell responds: This has to be a utility
problem: low voltage or too great a load for the
available voltage. There is no other way your chop
saw would be able to affect the house across the
street. Probably both houses are working on the
same transformer, and the transformer is
underpowered. If you are on different transformers,
then the utility really has a problem. It means
that their high-voltage line is overextended -- in
other words, there are too many homes on that
particular tap.
The "bad neutral" theory doesn't add up. A
service entrance connection (SEC) neutral problem
gives a whole set of different problems. Every
house has two energized lines into the house and a
neutral that either hot line can use. When an SEC
neutral goes bad, one of the hot legs to the house
goes high, and the other leg goes low. In the
house, that will likely damage anything connected
to the leg that goes high.
That's not to say that there isn't also a
problem in the house that is making things worse.
For example, if a house is underpowered, that would
tend to make the lights dim more easily to begin
The homeowners should have an electrician check
out the utility problem and verify it; that way the
utility is hearing from a professional that it is
their problem. Here's how I would troubleshoot:
1. With a high-quality digital volt-ohm meter
(VOM), measure the voltage going into the service
panel under load and nonload. Load one leg, then
the other, then both. The voltage should not change
more than a few volts. If it does, the transformer
is too small.
2. Make the same measurements with someone
across the street operating the chop saw. If the
voltage goes down (and we know it will), the
problem is outside the house.
3. Make similar measurements at the utility
meter. If the voltage drop occurs before going into
the house, we know the problem is outside the
4. Look up at the transformer and read the
kilovolt-amp (KVA) rating, which is often painted
on the side. A 200-amp house at 240 volts needs a
45-KVA minimum; with two houses you need twice
that. Odds are, they are running both houses off
one 45-KVA transformer.
I'm confident that the main problem will turn
out to be the power company running too low a
voltage on the primary and overextending the tap
line. I've seen this more times than I can count.
If the utility won't cooperate, the house owner
should write the state utility board, with a copy
going to the utility. Normally the utility has 30
days to respond to the board.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Los Angeles fire officials say they'll upgrade their 911 dispatch center to work with neighboring fire agencies.
Chief Brian Cummings told the Los Angeles Times editorial board (http://lat.ms/X85g0T ) Wednesday that the move will help city residents who may be closer to available rescuers from other areas.
The department is in the early stages of developing a computer system designed to work with neighboring dispatch centers.
For the plan to work, neighboring agencies will have to pay up to $14 million for similar upgrades to be installed over three to five years.
Los Angeles' city and county fire agencies agreed to link their dispatch centers in 1979, but never did.
Fire Commission President Genethia Hudley Hayes says the plan would save a lot, but there's an upfront cost.

Hundreds of activists and progressive San Franciscans marked the 35th anniversary of the Mayor George Moscone and Sup. Harvey Milk assassinations on Wednesday night in the Castro with fiery speeches urging the crowd to "fight back!" against displacement and gentrification, conjuring the words and spirit of those slain leftist leaders.
"Gotta have hope just to stay alive," the San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus sang of Milk and his message on the 35th anniversary of that chorus' first performance, on the steps of City Hall on the day of the tragedy, belting out the refrain, "Gotta give 'em hope."
Despite the onslaught of evictions triggered by real estate speculators and the city's current economic development policies, such as the tens of millions of dollars in tax breaks extended to Twitter alone, the defiant message from this podium did have an undercurrent of hope.
But that hope was predicated on people's willingness to organize and engage in "a fight they started," Tom Temprano, president of the Harvey Milk LGBT Democratic Club, said of Milk and Moscone, "a fight against gentrification and displacement."
Yet Temprano also said that people have to feel stable and secure to really have hope: "You can't have hope without a roof over your head. You can't have hope without affordable housing. And that's why we're marching today."
Temprano then played an old news clip of Milk talking about his own eviction from the camera store and apartment where he lived on Castro Street, the result of similar economic forces that are overtaking the city today.
Milk explained how San Francisco's economy relies on local residents being able to earn a living wage and not pay too much of their incomes in rents. But when landlords gouge their tenants, they have less to spend in local businesses, "and sooner or later, that's going to crunch the economy locally."
One of the more fiery speeches of the evening came from Brian Basinger of the AIDS Housing Alliance, who used one of Milk's signature lines when he said, "I'm Brian Basinger and I'm here to recruit you. I'm here to recruit you into a movement for housing justice that goes back decades."
He cited the recent successes of that movement, from suing to stop CitiApartments from abusing and exploiting its tenants to stopping the 8 Washington luxury condo project when the voters overwhelmingly defeated Props. B&C this month.
"Housing rights are human rights," Basinger said.
Housing activist Tony Robles, a board member of the Manilatown Heritage Foundation, recalled being a student at Mission High School when the news of the assassinations was announced, an event that profoundly affected him. He said they represented "the spirit of community and the spirit of fighting for what is right."
Robles called out Sup. Scott Wiener, a Milk successor representing the Castro, calling Wiener unworthy of that legacy, citing his legislation allowing more apartments to be converted to condos and with closing the parks at night. "You were no Harvey Milk when you made that move, brother," Robles said, closing with this hope: "Let the poetry of Harvey Milk's struggle live on in the streets of San Francisco."
Wiener and other politicians, including Mayor Ed Lee, Sen. Mark Leno, Board President David Chiu, and state Democratic Party head John Burton, spoke earlier in the day at a City Hall memorial. But they pointedly weren't invited to the more raucous evening event (although Sup. David Campos, whose Assembly race against Chiu the Milk Club has endorsed, did show up to offer his silent support).
"Fuck you, we are staying!" was the message Shannell Williams, a San Francisco native and a rising young activist who came from the Save City College movement, had for the city's landlords and those who say low and middle income earners should just move to Oakland.
Can you explain that?
entitled to live somewhere that she cannot afford, just because she wants to?
And that it would be a massive hardship for her to live a few miles and minutes away in Oakland.
Apart from an ejaculatory obscene outburst, can she explain that?
Mr Basinger is kind of a d*ck
They are usually self-absorbed, talk and never listen, and cannot conceive that they might be 100% wrong about anything.
My statements that nights were points of fact.
I'm here to recruit you into the housing rights movement.
Housing is a human right, which is true. It's in the Charter of Human Rights.
I listed a few of the successes of our movement, protecting hundreds of thousands of tenants, making progress to end homelessness especially for the one-third of the homeless who are LGBT.
If that kinda makes me a d*ck, well alright then.
has anything to do with.
Its true, I read it on the internet.
Are you saying that the gay homeless are more deserving of a home than the straight homeless?
Good: non-whites (except Asians, who suck), gays and gender-indeterminates, illegals, cyclists, unions, hookers, beggars, tenants, unemployables, welfare recipients, city workers (except cops, who suck), pot smokers, bad (sorry, experimental) artists and all assorted freaks and whack jobs.
Bad: whites and asians, successful people, people who don't have AIDS, people who don't have weird sexual hangups, legal immigrants, police, homeowners, taxpayers, businesses, people who don't do political correctness, tech workers, landlords.
couple a thoughts about Harvey,
Milk rode MUNI to work. other politicians only ride MUNI for photo ops.
Milk's pooper scooper law is not being enforced, thus SF has many shitty sidewalks and parks. Clean up after your dogs or give them to responsible dog ownwrs!!!
Enforce the dog pooper scooper laws for a cleaner healthier SF.
Fight Back!
SF's sidewalks and parks have become dog toilets!
Enforce Harvey Milk's dog pooper scooper law!!

From Pets Fur People:
This year marks the 45th anniversary of the
Humane Society's service to East Texas.
are repositioning the Humane Society by telling a different story and
communicating a different message. The Humane Society has changed its name to
Pets Fur People…because love is a four legged word. We are a ministry that brings joy by
matching people with pets. We exist to enrich the lives of human families with the unconditional
love and therapeutic effect of pets. Last
year we were the matchmaker for some 800 families that adopted from us!
1968 the Humane Society of East Texas was the impoundment facility for all
animals seized by Animal Control officers in Tyler, Smith County
and 6 other municipalities. During that
time, 376,000 animals were received by the Humane Society. 69,000 animals were placed in adoptive homes. Approximately 80% of the animals received
were humanely euthanized. As of January
2010, we became a selective admission, no kill animal sanctuary. We are proud to claim that every animal under
our care is safe from the threat of euthanasia for as long as it takes to find
them an adoptive home. Our focus now is
to save lives and provide quality adoptions for these animals.
is no other no-kill animal shelter in East Texas! We want to continue to make the future
brighter for the homeless animals in East Texas. Pet owners who can no longer take care of
their companion animals trust us with their pets. Every animal under our care is safe from the
threat of euthanasia for as long as it takes to find them an adoptive
After we accomplished our goal of
becoming a selective admission, no-kill sanctuary, our next goal was to provide
affordable spay and neuter services to the public. In January of 2012, the Humane Society of East Texas began a partnership with Bullard Veterinary
Medical Center
called "Pets Make a Family" Partnership Spay/Neuter Project."
The goal of this project is to reduce pet overpopulation in our communities
through spay/neuter services for the public who request lower costs for spay and
neuter procedures and to promote the importance of continuing
veterinary care for pets. The
clinic is located at the Humane Society's animal shelter in Tyler and is open to the public each
Wednesday and Thursday. To date, 850 dogs and cats have been spayed or neutered at our clinic. The impact of this service is overwhelming
when you understand that one female dog and her offspring in 6 years can
produce 67,000 puppies. One female cat
and her offspring in 7 years can produce 420,000 kittens. Our
next goal was to provide veterinary services to the public at a reduced
cost. That goal was met in January of
this year. Clinic services are
available to the public Tuesday mornings from 9 am until noon. Appointments can be made online on the Humane
Society's website at hsoet.org or by calling 903 526-5598.
Many improvements and upgrades have
been made recently at the Humane Society's animal sanctuary. An empty dog kennel has been transformed into
living quarters designed specifically for large dogs. These large dogs had previously lived in
deteriorating outdoor pens that were not safe for the animals or the
customers. These dogs had covered dog
houses but were always exposed to the weather – during hot, cold and rainy
weather. Each pen was enlarged 3 times
its original size to accommodate the dogs.
They now have large, spacious indoor/outdoor pens equipped with thick
rubber floor mats on the inside of their pens to protect their legs and feet
from stress and soreness from extended periods of time on concrete. All have sling beds to lounge on which allows
for cooler and warmer naps. Three large
exercise pens situated under large shade trees have been constructed for their
daily enjoyment and exercise.
The 18 deteriorated outdoor pens have
been torn down and the area leveled with new top soil in preparation for the
construction of a landscaped memorial park.
The park will include memorial pavers from pet owners who purchased the
pavers to help with the construction costs of the renovations. Additionally, sponsored memorial benches will
adorn the park.
are also under advisement to construct a public dog park in an under utilized
area on the grounds which will provide dog lovers the opportunity to bring
their dogs for exercise. There currently
is no public dog park in Tyler. This dog park will bring more awareness for
the Humane Society's animal sanctuary.
involvement is very important to the Humane Society. We have an on-going humane education program
aimed at children kindergarten to 4th grade which teaches love and
respect for animals. Additionally, local
senior facilities receive regular visits from Humane Society volunteers and
Humane Society puppies to brighten their day.
The Humane Society has partnered with Meals on Wheels to provide food
for the dogs and cats of shut-ins. This
program kicked off in December of 2012.
are being cultivated to develop a partnership with Northshore Animal League –
the largest no-kill facility in the United States. The Humane Society will work with Northshore
Animal League to rescue dogs from municipal animal shelters that are scheduled
for euthanasia to be placed in homes in New
The Humane Society does not receive any funding
from the City of Tyler, Smith County
or any national Animal Welfare groups (HSUS, ASPCA). Our mission is solely carried out through adoption
fees (18%), fundraisers (42%) and private contributions (42%). We
need financial support from the public in order for us to continue our mission. Donations are tax deductible.
Humane Society of East Texas is a selective admission, life-sustaining animal
sanctuary. Our mission is to provide a temporary haven for the animals in our
care, until they find their forever families. We are committed to reduce and
ultimately eliminate euthanasia as an acceptable method of population control
for unwanted dogs and cats. We promote the positive results of spay/neuter
programs to reduce dog and cat overpopulation, and pride ourselves in teaching
responsible pet guardianship.

In the NBA, every game is different. Inside those 4,700 square feet, there's ten players, three refs, and one ball, and nearly endless possibilities with how a possession can end up. Many non-sports fans (and maybe some of us) complain about basketball being so random it isn't worth following closely.
The good teams, though? The Contenders? They tilt the game in their favor by building a roster that's equipped to win more often than their opponents. Whether it's going top-heavy like the Miami Heat or ten-deep like the San Antonio Spurs, these teams know what they want to do, and more importantly, how to get there.
That's not to say there aren't limits. While players may gravitate towards the big markets, the salary cap and luxury tax keep New York and Los Angeles from buying all the talent (and when they do, it's hilarious), and the draft gives hope to the New Orleanses and Clevelands of the league. If you set everything up right, you might go from the cellar of the NBA to Contention for the Larry O'Brien trophy (see: Oklahoma City Thunder).
So with all that in play, how does Milwaukee move from one end of the bell curve to the other? Like Sway, I don't have the answers. But what I do have is an analogy.
Unfamiliar with the game? Let this clip from The Wire teach you the basics. But if you already know, let's dive into what parallels we can draw.
Pawns: One-dimensional, limited impact, and abundant. Anyone who's in the NBA (except maybe Chris Smith) has the talent to at least step on the floor and not embarrass himself. They might do something or a few things adequately well, but generally hope to achieve naught more than replacement-level performance. They always have the hope of growing into a bigger piece, especially when they're young, and can be traded back and forth over their careers. But more often than not, these players end up on the wayside when newer, cheaper pawns become available.
Current Bucks: Miroslav Raduljica, Nate Wolters, Ekpe Udoh, Giannis Antetokounmpo
Discussion: Miroslav is a big body who has the potential to be a rotation-level player someday. In the foreseeable future, though, he figures to be a throw-in for a trade with a partner who needs a little bit extra to get a deal done. Nate Wolters is the same thing for a guard. He'll be a good backup PG someday; whether that's in Milwaukee or elsewhere depends on his value relative to someone else that the team wants. Udoh is a little older than you'd want from a Pawn, and would be buried on the roster of a team with actual aspirations.
Giannis is the piece that everyone is talking about, and he has significant talent and exciting potential. However, at this stage of his career, he's at the bottom rung of the NBA Ladder. Of all the Pawns in Milwaukee, he's the one with the chance to make it past and become a bigger piece.
Knights: Somewhat multi-dimensional, below-average impact, and plentiful. These are your young players, probably still on a rookie deal, that have some potential and some time to develop. It can also include your experienced players that offer one strong skill in a specific area (Matt Bonner, Reggie Evans, Mo Williams, etc.) but little else. Lastly, it includes the dreaded washed-up veteran: players well past their prime but still manage to stick around for a little while longer.
Current Bucks: Brandon Knight (no pun intended), John Henson, Carlos Delfino, Caron Butler, Khris Middleton, Gary Neal, Luke Ridnour
Discussion: Knight might become a top-15 PG. He might not. The raw talent is there, and it will be interesting to see if he ever becomes more than he is right now. Henson has shown several flashes of elite rebounding, solid rim protection, and low-post scoring. When he goes from showing flashes to showing consistency (and maybe fixing his free throws), he could be a bigger piece. Carlos Delfino and Caron Butler are old, brittle, and shouldn't be on the roster for long. Same for Gary Neal and Luke Ridnour; their services are necessary for now but they won't be capable of providing what's needed in a few years.
Khris Middleton is an interesting one. Over the first 20+ games, he's shown a lot of things, from 3-point shooting to on-ball defense and a lot of things in-between. He'll probably never be a top-3 guy on a contender, but he looks a lot like what we'd all hoped Luc Richard Mbah a Moute could become (especially on offense). Worth keeping, unless there's a chance for a major upgrade.
Bishops: Multi-dimensional, average impact, and relatively easy to find. The Bishop encompasses a lot of player types, and is a major step-up. It includes your younger players that have significant NBA experience and a good chance to grow further, your veteran player who offers a low ceiling but well-rounded skill set, or a specialist who offers one near-elite skill in a crucial area.
Current Bucks: Ersan Ilyasova, O.J. Mayo, Zaza Pachulia, Larry Sanders
Discussion: Hobo Ersan is barely above Pawn-status, but Ilyasova generally goes through these slumps and comes out of them looking like the player he is: a reliable mid-range and long-distance shooter with a knack for rebounding and drawing charges. A good stretch-4 who is a luxury right now but could be a major contributor on a good team. Mayo has some offensive talent but seems destined to be a high-floor SG who can shoot but shouldn't be a top option. Zaza is an above-average backup center and nice to have around. If healthy, he could stick around for a while longer, but his impact will be minimal.
Larry Sanders, if he regains his 2012 form on defense and finds a way to make his offense more efficient (no jumpers, a few post moves and a reliable counter) is the only player in this group that might grow beyond this tier. His elite-level rim protection will afford him all the chances he can handle to prove that he's worth building around. Tyson Chandler would be an excellent end-game for Larry's development, and it'd be great to have him here if/when he gets there.
Rooks: Multi-dimensional, above-average impact, and hard to find. These are your All Stars and near All Stars, the players that can be built around. A veteran who reaches this tier will have experienced significant success and are able to perform at a high level consistently. Incoming rookies who figure to develop to this level quickly go in the top-5 picks of the draft.
Current Bucks: None
Discussion: Giannis could get here in a few years. Caron Butler used to be close to this level, but that was years ago. Larry Sanders might evolve here someday, but he's got a tough road to travel to get here. There's no one else on the team that will likely ever sniff this level of success. There's enough pieces to trade for one, but that's all about having the right timing, which Milwaukee has almost never had.
Queens: Multi-dimensional, maximum impact, and rare. It might be funny (albeit adolescent) to call LeBron James a queen, but there's no denying that he is the most powerful piece in the game. There are a few players that have a similar impact, but they can be counted on to carry a team to success. These are the players you tank for, because having them on your squad turns you into a contender.
Current Bucks: None
Discussion: The Bucks can get a player like this one of two ways: either draft the right guy in June or pray to all the deities ever that Giannis surpasses the already ridiculously high ceiling we've set for him. Realistically, these are the only two options, which is why everyone (including yours truly) is so firmly on the "Lose Now, Win Later" train.
What do you think? Did I mis-classify someone on the team? Is a player on the Bucks too high or too low? What are the chances that the Bucks draft the right player to fill that top role on the team in 2014 and beyond? Leave all that, and more, in the comments.
