Buttery woven fabric cascades into a wide-cut babydoll dress that wouldn't be complete without more panels of sultry lace at the sides. Lined. Model is 5'8" and is wearing a size small/medium.

NEED HELP CHOOSING A SIZE? See measurements & fit info for this garment in the Size & Fit dropdown!
PRODUCT MEASUREMENTS: Compare these measurements to your own body measurements. We measure each item "relaxed" on a flat surface, not stretched on a person's body. It is helpful to consider the material of the item, as some stretchy materials may give an inch or two.
Because sizing and cut will vary between brands, please use this information as a general guide. Use our Size Chart to help determine your size. If you are between sizes or need help finding the proper size, please Chat with a Stylist.
The fit is large, or maybe I should have order a S/M but when I wear it with a belt it's fine. Fabric and lace inserts are both beautiful quality and the dress gives a boho goddess look to the wearer. Definitely looking forward to wearing this in the summer!
I love it! So pretty I'm 5'4 doesn't fit me long... fits perfect. The color is so nice for spring. I am very happy with my purchase.
I'm absolutely in love with this dress! I also like the versatility of it. Throw on tights and a cardigan and I can wear it in the winter as well as the summer! My only warning is that it could be short if you are tall! I'm only 5'3", but if I try to belt the dress, it's almost too short. All in all, still my best LuLu's purchase!

Two is always better than one, especially when it comes to Shake Shack. (Photo by J. Zale)
It's no secret we're huge fans of Shake Shack — we were ecstatic when they opened their first Philadelphia location this past June and then we teamed up with them on a special custard giveaway as part of our Moonlit Movie Screening in Rittenhouse Square back in August… to say nothing of the fact that the Shack Burger is insanely good, arguably the best burger you can find. Anywhere.
So we were thrilled to hear yesterday that Shake Shack has plans to open a second Philadelphia location in University City later this year. Eater is reporting that the Shack's second location will be at 32nd and Chestnut Streets.
This second Shack location is going in the new Chestnut Square development at 3200 Chestnut Street that is just across the river from Center City, around the corner from 30th Street Station, and also pretty convenient to both the campuses of the University of Pennsylvania and Drexel. Which is bully for them.
Targeted opening date is late summer/early fall 2013.
Moral of the story: Philadelphia is getting a second Shake Shack. Everybody wins.

A Duh moment!
When we eat broccoli, we don't always eat the stems. I chop them up and feed them to "the lads" (my voracious indoor composters).
We love broccoli and cheese soup and it just dawned and me that I should freeze the stalks and make soup when I have enough accumulated. I'll also put in the florets too of course.
Is there any reason that this wouldn't work?
Use a vegetable peeler or paring knife to peel the tough outer layer off the stems. Then just eat them along with the florets. They are delish. I like a little salt, butter and lemon or line juice on my broccoli. I steam it.
Peel them first before you freeze them, because the skin would still be tough in your soup unless you were pureeing it,
When I eat broccoli I use all the stem except for the woody last inch bit on the bottom which I cut off. I just peel it. I love it in my broccoli salad or just to eat raw as I am preparing the rest of the broccoli.
Funny, since the canary, and then the chickens, loved the florets so much I used to give them those and I would eat the stems LOL. Although, I do like them (peeled, of course). Raw or cooked.
Since seeing that chickens will eat just about anything (except for a few of my cooking adventures...did you know that a chicken could GAG?) and the canary has passed away, I eat the entire thing myself.
Dances, your comment about the birds reminded me of the cockatiel and budgie I used to have. They sure did love their breakfast salads! I'd chop up broccoli, a bit of hard boiled egg, jalopeno pepper, and other goodies for them....oh, my!
Thanks guys!
We do eat the stalks, but not every time. Sometimes by the time I take the knobs and the tough stalk off, there isn't much of the edible portion left! lol
"the lads" were referencing my worms, and they love broccoli.
At least now I know I can freeze the stalks without peeling and just cook them, and make soup. The soup does get pureed, then cheese added.
I'd think you could also add it to the kettle when you make stock. Or use it as the base when you slow cook something like a pot roast.
It's like cabbage core. Many people toss it, but many eat it as a snack. Kind of bothers me seeing the TV "chefs" that toss so much of this kind of stuff and not even mention alternate uses. People actually give credibility to these people.

Police nab alleged taco bandit
A 31-year-old woman was arrested Sunday after Merced police say she broke into a Mexican restaurant and stole a bucket of rolled tacos.
Mary Konisha Jones was taken into custody shortly after 8 p.m., not long after police say she broke into Cotija Taco Shop at 61 W. Main St. Officer Keith Rieg was responding to a burglar alarm and saw the glass front door of the business had been smashed out, police said.
As Rieg was made his approach to the building, he spotted Jones walking out of the business through the smashed out glass door, holding the bucket in her arms.
While searching Jones' person, the officer found a narcotics pipe. Jones was booked into the Merced County Jail on suspicion of burglary and possession of drug paraphernalia. She's being held in lieu of $15,000 bail.

MTG's free and pay-TV channels are available both on the Viasat satellite platforms and nearly all other pay-TV platforms in the Nordic region.
"We are witnessing the birth of a new paradigm. Consumers want TV anywhere and everywhere, and that is what we are delivering together with SPT," said Jorgen Madsen Lindemann, prexy and CEO of MTG. "We have always been at the forefront of the industry, and pushing the boundaries for how things are done, in order to make our entertainment experiences as engaging, satisfying, simple and relevant as possible to the consumer."
Jakob Mejlhede, Modern Time Group's senior VP of acquisitions and programming and CEO of MTGx concurred: "The future of television is happening right now, and SPT shares our commitment to forward thinking partnerships that reflect the huge demand for recent and classic movies and TV shows on viewer's own terms and at their convenience."

Precious Procrastination,
This review is from: Piled Higher and Deeper: A Graduate Student Comic Strip Collection (Paperback)
Grad students! Are you working too hard? This comic strip collection can help.
"Piled Higher and Deeper" ("PhD") is the first collection of strips of the legendary webcomic of the same name, written (and published) by Jorge Cham of Stanford University. This volume contains comics from roughly 1997 - 2002, including classics such as
--The Grad Student Documentary ("Having feasted, the grad student enters a lethargic state called "researching", in anticipation of the next free meal.")
--What is... the Thesis ("Is it so hard to believe? That grad school isn't real?")
--Post-Bachelor's Disorder ("Do you experience frequent headaches trying to count how many years you've been in school?")
--The High School Renunion ("Um... well... I... I'm still in school...")
and many others. From the first crudely drawn sketches of cramped classrooms and quals to the later, well-drawn strips of research and conferences, "PhD" never fails to entertain. Some of the humor may be dark and depressing, but that just makes it more realistic, and all the more potent.
If you don't believe that a grad student comic strip could possibly be so good, feel free to check out the strip's website, [...], where all of these strips are available for free. (But be warned - reading the entire archive could be hazardous to your research, and once you start, it's hard to stop...) Why buy the book when all its content is available free online? For one thing, to thank Jorge for all the hours of procrastination that he has so kindly provided. For another, to have access to the comics even when you're away from your compu... ok, never mind. The first reason is more than good enough by itself.
Even though "PhD" focuses on engineering, grad students in all fields should find it equally entertaining. And of course, grad students are not the only people who can appreciate this volume - former grad students and future grad students will almost certainly enjoy it as well. All grad students past, present and future should purchase this first "Piled Higher and Deeper" collection (or better yet, have it purchased for them) without delay.

The all new Falcon's Fury takes you up a 60ft pole, then the seats swing back so you're looking directly at the ground, all you body weight trusted to the harness for a few, looong seconds, before it lets go and you rush to the ground, swinging back to a seated position at the last second.

... 11:00 so we could be at Dave and Monica's for 11:50. The boys went golfing. The girls spent the afternoon at the pool. We left for home around 5:00. We freshened up and headed off for a dinner out with the Jamieson family at "Island Way bar and grill" in Clearwater Beach for 7:00. We went early so we could have a drink before hand. Nice patio bar. Another great dinner!! Saturday: Rick went for a ride on his own this morning. I went for a walk and got ready for the day. ...

Plans to reunite with old classmates are bringing Lindale Eagles of all ages together. The Lindale ISD Alumni Association is organizing a multi-class reunion that will include Lindale High School graduates between the classes of 1938–1984.
"We are looking forward to welcoming Lindale High School graduates to the Multi-Class Reunion," said Mitzi Bjork, the association's president. "We hope LHS graduates will also join the Alumni Association, if they are not already a member. Membership is a great way to network with fellow graduates, keep track of former classmates, and stay informed of LISD events."
The reunion will be Saturday, September 13, 2014 at the new Lindale Junior High School campus, the day after homecoming. Guests will have the chance to visit the high school campus and tour the adjacent Performing Arts Center. Class pictures will be taken at the reunion, followed by a Hickory Fare catered dinner and a performance by country music artist and Lindale alumnus, Wayland Hicks.
The Association will also be honoring their 2014 Distinguished Award recipients at the event. The Distinguished Alumni Award is given annually to an LHS graduate whose achievements, strength of character, and citizenship serve as a model to inspire and challenge current students. The Distinguished Service Award is given to a former LISD faculty member or other individual whose outstanding service greatly contributed to the success of the district. "One of the rewards for service on the Alumni Awards Committee is to read about the accomplishments of LISD graduates that I was unaware of," said Kenneth Cline, a member of the Alumni Association and an LISD school board member. "This years' awardee is an excellent example."
Tickets are $25 per person. For more details and a registration form, click the "Browsable Document Library" link on the right side of this screen, under the "Lindale Alumni Pages and Links" section.

Lindale ISD Alumni Association 2013 Distinguished Awards
The Lindale ISD Alumni Association honored two Lindale High School graduates with the 2013 Distinguished Alumni Award, and two outstanding former teachers with the 2013 Distinguished Service Award on Friday, September 27, 2013.
Nationally recognized economist, Dr. Ray Perryman, and Assistant Attorney General, Charles "Chip" Arnold, II, were presented with the Lindale ISD Distinguished Alumni Award.
Former Lindale educator, E.W. "Rack" Tindel, was presented with the Lindale ISD Distinguished Service Award. Mrs. Zonell Rice received the Distinguished Service Award posthumously. Mrs. Rice passed away on September 18, 2013. Eugene McClenny accepted the award on behalf of Mrs. Rice and her family.
Dr. Perryman, Arnold, Rice and Tindel were recognized during the Rotary Club of Lindale's Annual Hamburger Supper prior to the homecoming football game. Community members stopped by the Lindale ISD Alumni Association's table to meet and greet the distinguished honorees.
The award recipients were also honored on the field during a pre-game ceremony prior to the Eagles' game against the Pine Tree Pirates at Eagle Stadium. The honorees were presented with trophies at the 50-yard line following the announcement of the 2013 Lindale High School Homecoming Queen.
Distinguished Alumni Dr. Ray Perryman is one of the nation's leading economists. He is a 1971 graduate of Lindale High School and holds a bachelor's degree in mathematics from Baylor University and a doctorate in economics from Rice University. He spent ten years as a Herman Brown Professor of Economics, five years as professor and economist-in-resident at Baylor, and another five years as business economist-in-resident at Southern Methodist University.
Dr. Perryman is the author of several books, more than 400 academic papers and 2,000 trade articles. He publishes a subscription forecasting service and a monthly newsletter, writes a syndicated newspaper column and appears regularly on National Public Radio. He is president and CEO of The Perryman Group, an economic research and analysis firm in Waco. Dr. Perryman has received citations from governments of several countries, presidents and governors. He has been nominated for the Bank of Sweden Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics.
Charles "Chip" Arnold, II, is a 1976 graduate of Lindale High School and is currently the Regional Administrator and Assistant Attorney General for the state of Texas addressing child support issues. Arnold holds a bachelor's degree from Texas Tech University and a master's from the University of Texas at Tyler in education. He received his doctor of jurisprudence from South Texas College of Law in 1990 and in 1991 was admitted to the State Bar of Texas with an attorney and counselor at law license.
Arnold has served as Assistant District Attorney in Smith County prosecuting child abuse cases, a Regional Director leading the East Texas Child Protective Services, Adult Protective Services and Child Care Licensing. He is a founding board member of the Lindale Library and has also served on the board of the Children's Advocacy Center of Smith County. Arnold is also a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) legal trainer and volunteer.
2013 Distinguished Service Award recipient Zonell Rice is former teacher and taught in the Lindale ISD from 1946-1982. She taught typing, shorthand, accounting and was an annual staff sponsor. She attended Paris Junior College and East Texas State Teachers College where she also earned a master's degree in education.
E.W. "Rack" Tindel is also a recipient of the 2013 Distinguished Service Award. Tindel taught in the LISD from 1954-1961. He was a math and science teacher at Lindale High School and coached football, basketball and track. He served on the board of trustees of the LISD during the 1970's and was instrumental in the construction of a new high school campus.
Tindel is still an ardent supporter of Lindale academics and athletics and is a member of various booster clubs.
"We are so pleased to be able to recognize this extraordinary group of former Lindale students and teachers," LISD Alumni Association President Gay Pyland said. "We received several nominations for many deserving people and the awards committee felt it was time to honor these four with the distinguished awards. They have most certainly earned the recognition."
The Distinguished Alumni Award is given annually to a Lindale High School graduate whose achievements, strengths of character and citizenship serve as a model to inspire and challenge current students.

As someone pointed out "at some point, the story became so complicated that the writers felt it easier to just "change gears" and make it "all about the characters" and ignore the mysteries".

No, that doesn't mean it was a waste of time. It still practically gives the viewers a look on what the lives of the Losties wouldve been like if they never crashed(and this is what many viewers were begging for).

Well, I think they said at some point the darma guys brought over the polar bears, why errrrr.... because the cookie monster is blue (makes as much sense of the light) Walt grew up and so they couldn't have him in the show anymore, Darma guys..........they looked important in their uniforms, the atomic bomb was because Abrams read Strange Adventures (Linkara's explanation....I agree with it), the others stole kids because adults are harder to steal, the Egyptian statue is there because Jacob (who was totally pointless) stole them from Egypt to decorate the island since he was bored and the importance of the island was to stop the ultimate evil from escaping and to keep a very bright light from destorying the outside world or something retarded because carebears were trapped in that rock and when you removed the rock Chuck Norris started doing push-ups which made the island sink because light is good and dark is bad (the creators have obviously never watched Death Note). Yay, I think the creators of Lost need to go back, rewatch the episodes and come up with an explanation for these questions, because at this point my retarded answers make about as much sense of theirs do.
WAIT A MINUTE: If Jacob and the Man in Black couldn't leave the island how did Jacob...LEAVE THE ISLAND to see all the Oceanic people at different points (Lock after his accident, Kate when she stole a lunch box etc.)
Ps: As for the ending, liked it in the context of the season NOT the series

Just WHO WERE the Dharma initiative to begin with?
Who built the statue?
Who WAS Matthew Abbadon?
How did Kate know she wasn't pregnant? (Season 4, Eggtown)
If both the Flashbacks and Flashforwards are all in fact "Real life" why were they being 'called back' to the Island?
Why do Hurley and Linus both tell each other they "ARE" good seconds and firsts? And not "WERE"?? (watch it back, you'll see).
How was Hurley able to be like Jack and become the new Jack-Jacob when Jack didn't say the incantation when giving him the water??
I'll take my crack at some of these for fun....
1. The island matters. It's there and it exists. They really did crash and they really did do everything they did. The island is like a light bulb and the world is like a lamp. The lamp doesn't work without the light bulb. The world doesn't work without the island. IF the light goes out on the island, it goes over everywhere. All over ala the world. That's the purpose.
2. The quarantine on the hatch was likely put there to remind people to wear those yellow suits because I assume the radiation was probably pretty bad on the outside. A nuke did detonate in that area. Eventually that radiation subsided over the course of about 30 years. Not sure if the latter is possible, but then again, neither is a smoke monster so that's what we're supposed to go with there IMO.
3. MIB was clearly someone who monitored his surroundings. Remember, he didn't kill John Locke because he knew he could use him. He probably wanted to use Eko as well.
4. That's something that can't be answered because it's impossible for a man to transform into black smoke capable of taking the image of dead people. The writers decided to go the fantasy route and say that the light allowed the MIB to live on through a rebirth sort of means via the black smoke.
5. Whatever Happened, Happen. That's time travel in Lost. How did it happen? The exotic matter or the light was able to transport the losites back in time.
6. I'm with you on this one. I would've liked to of seen an Egypt explanation. Clearly, they were brought to the island and probably discovered a ton of things and built monuments and all that. They may of even built the cork in the heart of the island. Who knows? Again I'm with you. There is nothing in the show to answer this question.
7. Claire and Rosseau didn't die because they arrived to the island already very pregnant. Ethan was the last baby born on the island. Shortly after he was born, Jack, Kate, Hurley, and Sayid arrived. Shortly after that, the incident happened. The Incident is the answer. The radiation for whatever reason causes the pregnancies to go wrong in a certain trimester. I forgot which one. I think second is what they mentioned.
8. No way to answer the rations. Perhaps Dharma is still around? I agree that this is a plot hole. However, Henry Gale doesn't matter. That's becoming my pet peeve of people complaining about answers in Lost. Explain to me how Henry Gale matters into the overall plot of Lost? He was just some dude who flew a balloon and crashed. He eventually died and was buried. That's it. He never mattered and to dwell on these things really cheapens the show.
9. Truth be told I don't remember this question that much. I probably didn't care because I didn't like Ana Lucia. If you're referring to Goodwin recommending her to Ben then I think the answer is to join the others. Clearly, some people were allowed to join up. Some weren't. Goodwin had the hots for her and probably wanted her in the others so he could hook up with her. I think that's the best explanation.
10. Chang just made up names as he went along. Probably to protect his real identity because the experiments they were doing on the island were probably a tad bit controversial. I mean they are in the show. Imagine what people in the real world would feel about that type of stuff it was really going on. Again, this wasn't doesn't really matter all that much IMO.
11. Dharma's back story was explained in bonus features of the DVD and some game during the show's hiatus between one of the seasons. I forget which one. Basically the story is they used the numbers to calculate an equation telling them when the world would end. They found the island and they wanted to save the world. I would agree that the show could've went further into their details considering season five dealt with Dharma quite a bit.
12. Don't know. Who built stone henge? Again, I don't get how that is important to the show. In my view, there was just a statue there. I don't care who built it. It was just there.
13. He was Widmore's associate. That was kinda explained. I didn't like the explanation either, but seems like that's what they were going for.
14. I'm not a woman so I can't tell you. We know there were pregnancy tests on the island though. She probably took one.
15. What do you mean? They weren't literally being called back to the island. It was a figure of speech in the show's context. Everyone went back for a reason. Kate wanted to get Claire and Jack was a broken man that thought the island could fix him. Hurley went with the flow. Sayid was forced to go back against his free will. Sun went back to rescue Jin and Ben went back because he was obsessed with the island. It was his home.
16. They said were. Hurley said "you were a real good No. 2." Ben said "and you were a great No. 1 Hugo."
17. Apparently there is something to do with that stream of water. That's what makes you that way. It was fantasy story telling.
The show isn't 100% perfect, but it was a character oriented show set in a mythological universe. The moment Jack's eye opened, we saw a character. We saw character flashbacks and flash forwards. They had relationships. It was a character show. The writers were saying this for a very long time. They didn't just now pull it out of thin air. Clearly, the lost writers are better at asking questions than answer them, but then again, everyone kinda is.
Yes, a lot of events on the island are supernatural. That said, how many of you have actually watch a show that gives you an answer to supernatural. I've not, or maybe I just can't remember any.
I'm just glad that all characters have better lives in some other world, a world that's not screwed up by the island and Jacob. It will be really sad if they have no alternative lives.
I didn't feel there was anything to do with purgatory. It's just a parallel universe that has some sort of connection to the island world. Yes, it seems like a cop out way to tie everything together but I can't see it done any other way.
Few characters were missing though, Michael and his son, Mr Eko. Maybe more.
I like that Ben was sitting outside the church reflecting what he did on the island. He has such a tragic life.
I didn't like that Juliet married Jack in the parallel universe, and had a son. Now, Sawyer and her are committing adultery.
It might not be the best ending but it works for me.
If you've been watching for six seasons, the show has served its purpose - to keep you entertained.
im wishing i could "withdraw" my vote from half and half... I rewatched and loved it.
yes i do believe somethings were jut kinda repetitive but then it got me thinking its all been about mirrors in the life of the characters
repeating certain things, transcending others...
about sayid not ending up with Nadia, i like that cause i think he couldnt believe he deserved her ever cause what he had to do to her... instead with shannon he had a fresh start in the island... and her as well... he was like the first man to really respect her...
and then the characters mirror eachother too..
i think i got it more... like ... all the timeline and such but the thing we will always wonder will be...
how were there lives after getting of the plane? where did they land? did they have to do the press thing all over again? haha thats just plain fun of asking questions now... will never expect to get answers really.
I loved how Hurley is more confident on the "zone" maybe cause all his experience now...i wonder if he and ben gatheres the other others that were scattered and left for dead jaja
Hey! and one other thing... what wouldve you thought if Jack had gone to the temple to get his wounds healed? jaja suddently thought of that place and how it mughtve been affected by everything that happened...
oh well... i wonder how many times i can watch this entire episode before going insane for not sleeping well.

You're not going to get any answers to the supernatural aspect of the island, but there are some on why people are harnessing the whatever they think they are harnessing on the island.
Supernatural just can't be explained, on Lost or in the real world.
After following LOST for about three years I thought it'd be worthwhile to write up a little summary and some reflections on the show (Note: this is strictly my own interpretation of the show and for all I know I could be completely off).
LOST is finally over and at the end it becomes clear that as far as the plot goes, LOST is nothing more than a Sci-Fi that attempts to reconcile science with religion; yet ironically, by strengthening the religious aspects of the show under the science "fiction" heading it in a sense ridicules religion as nothing more than fictitious material.
That being said, I think LOST is a superb show as it doesn't really leave any plot holes to fill. The themes and ideas remain completely consistent throughout LOST despite the show's intricate plotline. In fact the story is so complex it would be difficult to simply dive into a summary, so it'd be best to start with some major themes.
DHARMA: The show definitely draws heavily from Buddhist ideas. Although I am no expert on Buddhism I find it quite easy to grasp these ideas due to my personal religious background. The word dharma has various deep meanings; literally it means "rule" or "law" in Buddhism, but not just any rule or law in general. Dharma is supposed to be the teachings (rules) established by Buddha that can lead individuals to enlightenment. In LOST this idea is used simply to show that the island possesses the quality of dharma, where a set of rules is established that allow all the characters on the island to discover their true nature. If you look at what DHARMA stands for in DHARMA Initiative (Department of Heuristics and Research on Material Applications...WTF DOES THAT EVEN MEAN?!) you'd realize that the writers basically chose that name to signify that the island has some unique properties of dharma and a group of people (Dharma Initiative lead by Charles Widmore) are trying to study it and control it for their own benefits; other than that, what DHARMA stands for is pretty much meaningless.
KARMA: This is another recurring theme in the show and a very important one. Karma is all about free will, causes and effects, actions and consequences, and more importantly it is about reincarnation. Specifically, karma is about the relations between people and other living things. In Buddhism, an important part of reincarnation involves MEMORY LOSS (you can't, or at least shouldn't be able to remember your past lives), and this obviously plays a huge role in the final season of LOST. Basically reincarnation is a vicious cycle, a form of repeated suffering that people must endure one life after another until they have achieved self-purification (through dharma) and only then will they become like Buddha so they can leave this earthly cycle and head into nirvana.
HOW THIS ALL TIES IN WITH LOST: If we are to view the characters' lives from the karma point of view then the only way to make sense of the transition from one life to another is by following the characters' memories. As long as the characters maintain consistent memories then they are living and acting in the same life. This means that everything that happened prior to their memory loss would be in the same life, which includes everything from seasons 1-5 and all the stuff that happens on the island in season 6, and after the memory loss would be their next life, after they all died. But unlike traditional view of karma where you reincarnate into something completely different, the transition into a different life is more like a transition into an "alternate life" or "alternate universe" in LOST, which is why all the characters maintain their same forms. I guess this would be the real sci-fi portion of LOST, with all the time travelling and entering into alternate universe. All the interpersonal conflicts in the show represent the vicious cycles of karma that all the characters struggle to remove themselves from. In order to leave this cycle they must find and achieve some purpose in life.
LOVE: Despite how corny it may seem, love is without a doubt the most important theme in the entire show. Love alone can explain some of the unanswered questions regarding supporting characters. The show seems to suggest that the purpose of life isn't some sort of self-enlightenment through dharma, but instead the true purpose is to "LET GO" (very Buddhist idea). And it also suggests that for many, only when you have found TRUE LOVE can you "LET GO" of all the things in life and leave the "purgatory" and move on into heaven. In LOST, purgatory isn't just the island; it seems to be the entire earthly world. This explains why Ana Lucia, Miles, Michael, and any other characters who never find true love do not end up in the end scene where all the main characters are "moving on." Ben must stay in purgatory and deal with Alex and her mom. Daniel doesn't regain any memories when he comes into contact with Charlotte because they have not spent nearly enough time with each other to establish any kind of serious relationship. Hence why Desmond says he's not taking Daniel with him when Eloise asks him; it isn't because he chooses not to take Daniel, it's because he simply can't. Daniel must remain in purgatory until he finds true love. HOWEVER, if this theory sounds somewhat convincing at all, it doesn't really explain why Locke and Boone get to move on, which remains somewhat of a mystery (especially Boone...WTF WAS HE DOING THERE? For Locke though it's probably because he somehow manages to "let go" of something trapping him in purgatory...like the guilt he feels about his father).
EVERYBODY DIED: I find this to be a brilliant idea to end the show. This is why they all manage to move into the next life where they all meet each other, but definitely not at the same time. The final conversation between Hugo and Ben suggests that they obviously remain alive on the island for a while to protect it but they must've died eventually, too, and everyone who got off the island on the plane all died. It doesn't matter whether the plane crashed or they all manage to live out the rest of their lives, they all died in that one life eventually. Another sci-fi part of the show suggests that memories from past lives can be regained through intense physical (visual, sensual, etc.) experiences. Desmond becomes the center piece that reunites everyone simply because he is the first one to regain memories from the past life.
Overall the show is outstanding even though there are many questions left unanswered (but it's a sci-fi after all so it's best to just take it as it is). There are probably no answers for things like the origin of Jacob and his nameless brother and their mother, etc. But I still find one part of the show particularly troubling...
ELOISE: Even after the show has ended LOST does not seize to amaze me, how such a small part of the show, a side character, can hold so much seemingly solvable mystery. I find Eloise to be the most troubling character of all, because she seems to know exactly what's going on. In season 6 episode 11 – "Happily Ever After," the episode where Desmond begins to regain memories, Eloise was absolutely opposed to Desmond reuniting the main characters. Not only does she keep THE GUEST LIST away from Desmond (presumably the list has the info of all the main characters), she even says "whatever happened, happened" as if she knows about everything that happened in the past life, even though Charles Widmore, who appears in the same episode, seems to know nothing. Eloise's extensive knowledge on the whole situation is further shown when she asks whether Desmond is taking Daniel in the end. So who is this woman?!?! Why did she not lose her memories in the alternate life? Daniel's character is also a bit confusing but not so much as Eloise. Dan seems to be at a stage where he can feel some weird past-life phenomena but can't quite explain why (love at first sight and writing up crazy equations). Anyway, for all the devoted LOST fans, Eloise is definitely a character worth exploring.
Sorry for any grammar/spelling mistakes...wrote this rather quickly.
The numbers correlated with the numbers allocatedto the 6 candidates - (4 - Locke, 8 - Reyes, 15 -Ford, 16 - Jarrah, 23 - Shephard, 42 - Kwon)it was fate all along that these would be the final most important people in the world or something! That's all!

|17.I think that in the end the alt universe became a place that the characters go to after they died. Right before that part we see that Hurley accepts his role as proctector and he wanted Ben to help him. Hurley's the first, Ben is the second. So I think they eventually died and their consciousness went to the alt universe which is why they remembered.
18.You must of missed this part. Before Jack went back down the cave to plug the cork back, he gave Hurley the water. In case he didn't make it, Hurley would become protector.
Firstly good attempt at the answers although all you did was kind of explain things we knew... It didn't really answer anything lol.
And I think you're missing my point on both of the above.
17: That doesn't explain why they say "You ARE" and not "You WERE".
18: No, I saw it just fine... I saw him take the bottle from Ben, I saw him fill it; tell Hurley to drink (at which point I thought Ben was going to be evil til the end and snatch it away lol) And I saw/heard him tell Hurley "Now you're like me" - What I am saying is... Jack didn't say the incantation whilst filling/holding the bottle like Jacob/MiB's "mother" did when she gave it to Jacob and like Jacob did when he gave it to Jack... Saying this incantation was clearly an important part of the passing on of the power.

A nuke did detonate in that area. Eventually that radiation subsided over the course of about 30 years. Not sure if the latter is possible, but then again, neither is a smoke monster so that's what we're supposed to go with there IMO.
16. They said were. Hurley said "you were a real good No. 2." Ben said "and you were a great No. 1 Hugo."
17. Apparently there is something to do with that stream of water. That's what makes you that way. It was fantasy story telling.

I don't hate the ending but.... Why lead me to believe that season 5 ending is connected to season 6 beginning ? I believed the whole season 6 was based on what if the plane never crashed? and Juliet says It Worked. ( bomb explosion). I thought we had 6 seasons of Island surviving ( main story ) and how it would end on the Island, which we did. Okay. Then I thought we would have a season ( half season ) of how their lives would have been IF the plane didn't crash, which they did. Okay. But now I'm confused because thats supposedly not what the Alt life was about? Please don't tell me that it's a place the Losties created to meet to move on after they're all dead. They had no power to do such a thing. Heck I'ld like to create a place to for me and my closest friends and If I created it, why would I leave? I can't die. Eloise and Ben had it right why Leave ?
I said it once, I'll say it again, It's an amazing story that kept me captivated and willing to buy the series but now... I don't feel the same. It's just another series were I've seen that ending so many times before.

Should athletics director Lew Perkins resign as a result of the KU ticket scandal?
Asked at Wayne and Larry's Sports Bar, 933 Iowa on May 27, 2010
"If he was aware of the situation when he took the job and did not make the effort to correct it, then he ought to look for work elsewhere."
"Yes, he should. This and the Mangino fiasco kind of ices it for me."
"Yes, because it's something he should have been aware of as it was going on. I believe he should be held responsible in some way."
"No, I think while he is ultimately responsible for everything that goes on in that department, I don't think he knew anything about it and he's taking the steps to correct it."

Perkins and Marchiony should go.

I hate tofu. Really. It's like eating a piece of rotted but flavorless leather. Nutrition? Yeah, great . . . tree bark has nutrition. And more flavor. Tofu is next to worthless unless it is prepared as filler for something else. Then, just as you're chewing a tasty bite of . . . whatever, you sink your teeth into the unmistakable but indescribable texture of one of those little cubes. But I'm told there are literally thousands of ways to include tofu in our diet, so I will give it another chance. Maybe I can find it in powder form then add a half teaspoon or so into the biscuit dough or pancake batter. Mixing it in with the morning wake up flavors of maple syrup, buttery biscuits, hot black coffee, . . . well it might just mask it enough to choke it down. I doubt it, but I'll try.
Just don't tell the guys at the hunting lodge.
Jaylee 4 years, 10 months ago
I've had it blended and mixed with cheese/butter/oil to make sauces like stroganoff or alfredo and that was yummy.
Far as ways I have not had it yet, 10th St. Veggie Bistro has tofu Brownies!!
And some people / places just know how to make dank tofu. Thai Siam has a delicious Tofu Panang Curry!
My favorite way at home, so far, is a slab in a grilled sandwich with cream cheese and bbq sauce, but I wouldn't suggest that one to you ha

Yes. Five of his ADs were dirty and the majority of those people were hired or promoted quickly under Lew. It is obvious reading the report that Lew has very little institutional control and relied heavily on single reporting lines with very little oversight. With the (large) exception of educating student-athletes, the two main functions of the athletic department are to generate revenue through ticket sales and donations. Both of those functions were compromised by people who directly report to Lew and the damage will be long lasting.
equalaccessprivacy 4 years, 10 months ago
The way authority and power operate in the world by means of a disingenuous blame game is pathetically stomach-turning. It might be time for the university to look at switching General Counsels though. The people in that office right now are just toxically unethical, unknowledgable about the law, and not even very good at managing damage control. It's all about blaming and framing the victim for offices like the KU General Counsel and HR---they do an incredibly heavy-handed, sadistically vindictive job in that area too.

I am not a big fan of Lew Perkins, but then, I have never met the guy.
I think putting all the blame on Perkins is unfair. I see this the same way I would a business that was embezzled by the CFO or the accountant.
It happens all the time and you don't fire the owners of the business. They are the victims.
The guys stealing tickets were very slick operators.
If you want to have people fall on their swords, look at Wall Street or Congress.
opobserver 4 years, 10 months ago
I agree! These thieves are responsible....not Lew. "The guys stealing the tickets were very slick operators" Well, they "thought" the were slick. Arrogrant. Never get caught. I hope they re held acountable financially, so when they get out of jail, hey spend their lives paying back the money. They were overpaid to begin with, and they still got greedy. They deserve to serve time for this. Believe me. There is sure to be more involved. Money laundering - setting up these "companies" to aid in the ticket scam,..it is going to get bad - but not for Lew, for the six crooks.

The story was in the Chronicle of Higher Education the past couple of days. There is a segment of folks in higher ed that believe big time athletics goes contrary to the mission of IHEs, and this story is the best evidence yet. And if it had happened at a small school whose athletics department has to be subsidized by the general fund, then the outcry would have been deafening. But instead the story got exactly one little comment. Considering that many stories in the Chronicle get dozens of comments, this is equivalent to "Ho, hum."
I work at another university, where a couple of years ago we also made the front page of the Chronicle for a couple of professors in the Psychology Dept. who were accused of several years of sexual harassment of research assistants and fellow faculty. I wondered how the University would ever live it down.
It blew over within a few months.
This will, too.

Don't understand why, when given the opportunity, the investigation didn't go a little deeper into the operation of athletics? Why wasn't their HR dept and the business office checked out? According to exhibits provided, their chief financial officer as well as another of his assoc. ADs signed off on those invoices to Tom Blubaugh and Lew wasn't aware Tom was receiving payment for at least the last 2 yrs? Reports of how much money he was bringing in and all the raises and bonuses he was receiving is disgusting, considering the reputation they have for not paying their bills in a timely fashion.
pace 4 years, 10 months ago
Yes, he should. If he didn't care about ticket distribution when anyone who read the papers or went to games knew there was something rotten, then he isn't suited to the job.

One thing about this; is that he was well paid; for what he did or did not do.

Arizona Cardinals
Arizona Cardinals' Tyrann Mathieu contemplated suicide while in jail
Tyrann Mathieu's road to the NFL and the Arizona Cardinals was not always a smooth one.
And, according to Mathieu himself, it was one that at one point seemed like it could take a tragic detour.
Mathieu, when speaking to Fox Sports Arizona's Craig Morgan, said he contemplated taking his own life in 2012 while in jail. Mathieu was there because, following his dismissal from the LSU football team for failing multiple drug tests, police found marijuana during a search of his apartment.
"I'm sitting in that jail cell thinking, 'I don't know if I want to go back out there and face the music,' " he said. "I didn't know how I was going to commit suicide in the cell, but that was the direction my life was heading."
Mathieu told Morgan that it was his cellmates who encouraged him to forget those thoughts, saying he was a good football player and shouldn't be going down that road.
Because of the experience, Mathieu said he was able to get his life back together and focus on football. And with things seemingly heading in the right direction, Mathieu said he wants to start a foundation to help others who might be feeling the same way he once did.
It would be called "Second Chance," and the idea would be to give others the same opportunity to turn their lives around that he received.
"People go through a lot of things. They can be every-day personal things, not just suicide," he said. "I just want to reach out and use this platform for something positive and be an inspiration to people who want to see me as an inspiration."
It's nice to see Mathieu try and turn what could have been a terrible tragedy into something positive. He's not hiding from his past; no, instead he's embracing his history and hoping that others can learn from it.

Exclusive: President Obama's choice in 2009 to expand – rather than wind down – the Afghan War now looks to be one of his worst decisions as the conflict drifts toward a bloody defeat. But a key factor behind his misjudgment, the myth of George W. Bush's "successful surge" in Iraq, lives on, writes Robert Parry.
Human Rights
Preparing to 'Mow the Grass' in Gaza
Even as Israeli leaders focus the world on a possible war with Iran, the neocons are prepping public opinion for another bloody assault on Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, what one article likened to "mowing the grass." Ex-CIA analyst Paul R. Pillar sees the need for serious peace talks.
Recalling a Young American's Sacrifice
Nine years ago, as President George W. Bush and the neocons prepared to invade Iraq, Rachel Corrie, a 23-year-old American woman concerned about the region's deepening violence, was in Gaza watching Palestinian homes being destroyed – and put her body in the way, her parents Cindy and Craig Corrie recall on the anniversary.
'War on Women' Breaches Global Norms
Republican bills taking aim at women's reproductive freedoms have raised alarms about a "war on women," a development that is shaking up the American political scene. But some of the legislation also is putting the U.S. outside the bounds of international norms, as Nat Parry reports.
Banks Are Called on to Repent
America's banks remain under fire, including a public resignation by a Goldman Sachs executive disgusted by the firm's abuse of its clients. New protests also include calls by some Christian churches for the banks to repent for their roles in the nation's foreclosure crisis, Michael Winship reports.
Tragic Lessons of Afghan Massacre
The massacre of 16 Afghans, including nine children, allegedly by a deranged U.S. Army sergeant has stirred more anger toward the decade-long, U.S.-led occupation of Afghanistan, but it also underscores how the stresses of endless war are shattering the psyches of combat soldiers, as Democracy Now's Amy Goodman notes.
America's Crimes of War
A decade into the Afghan War, the atrocities by U.S. forces – whether accidental or intentional – keep piling up along with assurances from American leaders that "this is not who we are." But the unwillingness to impose serious penalties and the failure to adopt less violent strategies say something else to many Afghans, writes John…
Losing Faith in a Democratic Israel
Since its founding in 1948 as a refuge for Holocaust survivors and other Jews, Israel has called itself a democracy but has restricted rights of Arabs inside Israel and under Israeli military occupation. This tension – and the rise of Jewish fundamentalism – are now eroding support among liberal Zionists, writes Lawrence Davidson.
America's 'Core Values' in Afghan War?
U.S. officials are expressing outrage and regret over the slaughter of 16 Afghan civilians, including nine children, allegedly by a deranged U.S. staff sergeant. But the terrible rampage was not an isolated atrocity in the decade-long war in Afghanistan, as Nat Parry notes.
Reclaiming the Commons
A new law, known as H.R. 347, expands the power of the Secret Service and police to arrest protesters near a "protected person" or at special public events like nominating conventions, a further intrusion on the right of Americans to assemble in protest, as Phil Rockstroh explains.
