WHAT HAPPENED We say goodbye to LOST with a finale that was emotionally rich and intellectually abstract...just the way it should be. "There is no now, here." Sideways world is a kind of purgatory where your soul sorts out what you couldn't sort out during your life. When your soul is able to make a connection or ‘awakening' — only then are you ready to move forward to the ‘afterlife'. Each one of the Losties had to come to their …
| WHAT HAPPENED Two episodes ago, Sayid blurted (before he bolted for the next room with the explosives) "Because it's you, Jack." Last night Jack accepted Jacob's offer to be the new guardian and LOST prepared us for the finale by reminding us of the slight margins between free will and predestined fate.
WHAT HAPPENED ''A little bit of this same light is inside every man. But they always want more.'' "Can man can possess this light?" ''No. But they can try. And if they try they can put it out. And if it goes out here, it goes out everywhere.'' We've always known that The Island is a fundamentally spiritual place — one that defies human understanding, and cookie-cutter interpretation. On Tuesday, LOST all but confirmed this Spirit in the great light …
Will Man In Black be able to orchestrate the death of the candidates and finally leave the island? How will the two time lines be merged/explained? Where will Widmore wind up at the end? What does he really want? Eternal Life? Are Jack and Locke the new Jacob and Man In Black? Have they always been? What will become of the island? Who will watch over it? (...And who are the Adam and Eve skeletons!?) Post thoughts and your own …
WHAT HAPPENED "Everybody Loves Hugo" (The title is a flip on Hurley's season 2 episode "Everybody Hates Hugo") featured Hurley very tentatively taking (or not taking) leadership on the island. In 2004, sideways Hurley reunites with Libby and Desmond hits Locke with his car. Want to smooth out this chaotic episode? How about a little existentialism review and a visit with Dostoyevsky?
WHAT HAPPENED At the end of season 2 we witnessed the implosion of the Hatch/Swan. We saw Desmond's consciousness roll back in time, his first encounter with Ms. Hawking and learned he somehow could withstand a major elrctromagnetic event. Last night, Desmond made his triumphant return and was forced to survive (another) electromagnetic event at the hands of his father-in-law. Was it all for the right reasons? Unless Desmond helped him, Charles said, ''Penny, your son, and everyone else will …
WHAT HAPPENED Sun and Jin work it private-style in (sideways) 2004, while 2007 Charles Widmore shows us the package. Wait, that doesn't read well...ah, anyway...on we go...
Ab Aeterno is Latin for "from eternity." The phrase can mean "since the beginning" or "for long ages." In this episode we finally learn mysterious Richard Alpert's ancient past and are finally, concretely asked to ponder the yin/yang good/evil of everything the island has shown us... and more importantly ask — do we know the difference between the two? WHAT HAPPENED An episode showing us more of the historical relationship between Jacob and the Man In Black. The battle these …
Hey friends...I'm travelling again this week, but thought I knock out a quick column with some musings from what I think may have been my favorite episode so far. WHAT HAPPENED 2004 con-man cop Sawyer continues his empty search for Anthony Cooper and himself. 2007 Sawyer remembers why all those cons never fulfilled him. As Doc Jensen reminded "The episode was called ''Recon,'' which itself was a con. We were clearly supposed to assume it was short for ''reconnaissance …
I'm sure there are many different reasons why each of us started watching LOST. Some started watching from the beginning in 2004. For others, like me and my wife, we have our own "I started watching in Season X and then spent the next few weeks watching episodes until 4 a.m. to catch up" story. There is a certain recipe to the best LOST episodes and they often involve a heartwarming scene like the beach reunion from last night's "Dr. …

Karen Vaccaro is a remarkable person as well as a dedicated performer. I couldn’t imagine a better night at theater!
The director should’ve added the wrinkle that the ban on dancing’s the only thing keeping Bomont from attracting the green/tech/jobs of the future!
Now that’s Class!
I have read several of her books and liked them. I guess because I’m not an overweight, lesbian, intersexed Jewish amputee with divorced parents I can’t comment on the offensiveness of some of her jokes.
You forgot to mention fat people. She made fun of obesity. And divorce. Children of divorce were lampooned, too. Jewish people. She hit on a lot of “groups.“ I fit into a number of them. If you didn’t like her speech you won’t like her books. If…
Lesbians: Anecdote about her mom being a lesbian, and getting her mom introduced to Rosie O’Donnell, and mom and Rosie talking about oral sex, and Weiner acting disgusted. She probably meant the disgust in a “don’t wanna hear about my mom’s vag” kind of way, but all…
Oh. Wow. What exactly did she say, Emma? Do you remember?
I went to this. In the first 5 minutes of her talk, she made fun of lesbians, intersexed children, and amputees. I was honestly surprised at how offensve she was—it was like she thought the Champaign Public Library was a venue for Last Comic Standing. I…
Theresa—are you speaking generally about that monologue, or did you attend the Friday night showing at UIUC?

Illinois has simply had no luck at all in these Mizzou games. None. I think maybe we’re do for a couple of bounces to go our way. If we get one or two (or sever or eight) breaks, I think it’s a win.
Jason, Savoy could easily join the CPL tax district, which is probably closer to most Savoy residents than the Tolono library is. But my impression is that Savoy residents as a whole don’t want to pay the cost of the CPL (Tolono’s library taxes are cheaper), even…
Sorry, but I am lagging behind on updates to the map. Also, some construction projects were delayed from their original start date. On a more positive note, I am putting together a map of haunted houses in Central Illinois. I have a few plotted already, and I…
I’ve never gotten the privilege of all the services CPL cardholders get. I just want to be able to go out of my way to drive to the CPL to check out books, pay fines, maybe buy some coffee, and enjoy the library. None of those activities…
These days, there is more to using a library than checking out books. At one time, paying into the Lincoln Trails system probably would cover the expenses incurred by other libraries in the system. Now, with Internet, videos, coffee shops, wireless Internet hubs, etc., I suspect the…
(speaking as a Savoy resident) By paying taxes to support a member of the LTLS, we are paying our “fair share” to use any LTLS library—Tolono, Champaign, Urbana, etc. This is how library systems work. The 6% of CPL’s circulation represented by Tolono users is NOT significant…
I read Timbo’s argument. I think the key word is “speculating.“
I would be interested to hear more about the “word on the street”—how are individual hauling companies fulfilling their promise to recycle?
Timbo makes a smart, sound argument. Reread it.
I joined on 09-09-09 after living here over a year, and having to listen to my dad tell me how his best friend is, like, #27 or something crazy like that, and how said friend never lived further than 50 feet from the Illini Inn while going…
And, I might add, no one is being prevented from using the Champaign library. They are just being asked to pay their fair share if they are going to use it as their primary library.
The equation is pretty simple here. If you want social services, then pay the taxes required to run those social services. These things only work if everyone puts in their fair share. As a heavy user of the Champaign Library, I say bravo to this new policy.
Curtis Orchard is always good for an hour or three, especially if you have rugrats.
What is the increased marginal cost of serving a resident of Savoy or Mahomet? I suspect negligible. What is the increased revenue to be realized by this new policy? I suspect very little. Aside from these financial aspects, what are the most probable results from this new…
Looks like you are also all members of the killer sideburns club.
Thanks for the article, Ben. I was not familiar with this band until now and even though I won’t be able to attend the show on Friday they are now on my radar. A *good* jam band is hard to find, and these folks appear to fill…
Nice article, love the Dead quote in the beginning. If they can get down here to Central FL I’ll definitely be heading out to the show. Some of my friends have finally stopped wincing when I say “jam band.“ I’ve now tried my best at more descriptive…
@Annie: Yeah, my bad. That was the best part! Drinking + memory exercises = fun @Rob: According to Ask the English Teacher, “My dictionary says ‘drunk’ is an archaic past tense of ‘drink.‘“ We’re all about the new grammar around here.
Katie, have the residents of Savoy and Tolono thought about having their taxes raised a little to help their public library expand? That’s a possibility for them. And then everybody wins.
good call on that Herring recording, Josh. Love that version of Exit Music….here’s a clip of the Cinco de Mayo show (from about six months prior). As I recall, this Shakedown went on for roughly a half hour, while getting into the Trampled Underfoot jam in the…

The main character’s name is actually Lisbeth, in case you want to correct.
