LordStanley, Henning,

Well said.

Amber,

Never doubted you and support you 100%. I am *very* surprised by some of these comments.

Ken,

Nice try. That was pathetic.

Busted my hump? I'll be jiggered. Haven't heard that expression in a coon's age.

Amber,

Loved your show from Day 1. All the best in NYC.

CPod,

I noticed you only updated your pricing chart on the page linked from the bottom of the site, but didn't update your product comparison chart on the subscription page that people will actually see. Also some package prices still quote 'starting from' prices based on 1 month subscription and some quote based on 24 month subscription. These prices have been incorrect on your subscription page for some months now.

Just trying to help and not be annoyingly critical.

Also, why advertise as $5/month when it's actually $5.75/month over 12 months? Small difference but if a store advertises something for $5 you shouldn't expect to show up and see $5.75 on the price tag.

for the record, Stone's official apology through Dior:

"Due to my inappropriate words and acts during the interview, I feel deeply sorry and sad about hurting Chinese people," she said.

"I am willing to take part in the relief work of China's earthquake and wholly devote myself to helping affected Chinese people."

was actually:

Ms. Stone said that she told Mr. Toledano of Dior that since she didn’t believe she had done anything wrong, why didn’t Dior let her clarify her remarks with a statement? That statement, which Cindi Berger, a publicist for Ms. Stone, sent to The New York Times in an e-mail message, said, in part: “I am deeply saddened that a 10-second poorly edited film clip has besmirched my reputation of over 20 years of charitable services on behalf of international charities. My intention is to be of service to the Chinese people.” She expressed sympathy for the earthquake victims and said she regretted if her comments in Cannes were misunderstood.

Yet the apology released in Ms. Stone’s name by Dior’s office in Shanghai bears little resemblance to the original, and the difference seemed to irritate the star. To many bloggers, the apology made Ms. Stone seem at once groveling and insincere — another actress doing what she has to save a movie career.

“It makes it appear that I’m in agreement that I did a bad thing,” Ms. Stone said, adding that she believes the statement was not a poor translation but rather rewritten. It is unclear who at Dior provided the statement to the Chinese news media.

John introduces the lesson as intermediate, so must just a mistake in the posting on CPod.

Kinda looks like she pushed her over.

Lesson and dialogue seem to be for a basic/elementary level? Doesn't match up with the transcript.

Great lesson picture!
