Beautiful poem Pete and I love the sound effects - especially the crows. This has become so much more enjoyable than I ever imagined it would be. As vagabond said, you make the inaccessible accessible. Fascinating. Thank you.

Jenny,

the trap is only psychological - the key is to sell and exchange your stock (which is going down) for one that is going up. You have already lost the money. But which one to buy? :-)

Wow Pete. I really have a problem with that thinking. One word. Come on. I hope this isnt what we can expect in the future.

Changye,

so one needs either a big wallet or a big magnifying glass. :-)

here is what I gather so far:

for taking off glasses or accessories (or hat which can also use tuo):

摘 zhai1

but evidently there are others and this was discussed but not disclosed in the lesson - a huge mistake in my opinion.

I think you guys are making way too much out of a small issue. It certainly does not deserve all this press. They have a policy, lets follow it. If someone violates you have 3 options, skip, translate, or ask them to translate.

Changye - how much is that 12 vol dictionary? Where would one find it?

The cogwheel is rather subtle actually. It is odd that it was not made more prominent. I think your suggestion is a good one.

Jenny,

you do need to do a better job of communicating. All this was explained on the blog but a flashing banner placed where nobody could miss it, directing everyone to read the blog, would go a long way, I think. I say I think because there were some clues. The format changed, the cog stuck out like a sore thumb, you announced it on news and features, it was on the blog, John launched a special post, there is a banner on the me page, and people were discussing it in the comments but usage patterns vary and some missed it. On second thought, maybe a flashing banner wont help :-)

Bill,

I usually agree with you and I have trememdous respect for you since I know your background, but I do believe you have been in Ca too long. Am I missing something? Red wheelbarrow? Your kidding right? I know, the sixties were tough, I was there.

Chickens.
