    <description><![CDATA[Number five in our series of Assault with a Firearm.  In the big podcast today, the story our intrepid bank robbers gets more and more bizarre.  In this lesson, we'll hear what kind of ski masks they were able to get their hands on, which will be sure to cause some commotion... a very cute commotion... in Spanish!]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>Hi folks,</p>
<p>Ah, clitic climbing.&nbsp; That takes me back to the days of X-bar theory... A technical explanation is that the "me" needs to be "higher" (i.e., before the verb) in order to be in the same scope domain as "voy."&nbsp; I miss grad school.</p>
<p>Anyway, in layman's terms, the problem with "Voy a trabajarme" is that it sounds like "I'm going to work myself" instead of "I'm off to work."</p>]]></description>

<p>Acabo de notar esta frase en la secci&oacute;n expansion:</p>
<p>No siento haberte hecho da&ntilde;o.</p>
<p>(I'm not sorry that I hurt you.)</p>

<p>Esta frase me encuentro graciosa.</p>
<p>Qui&eacute;n la dir&iacute;a una cosa as&iacute;?&nbsp; Incluso nuestro atracador de bancos, que habla a sus v&iacute;ctimas en forma de Ustedes no se la dir&iacute;a esa.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Check out <a title="JP's response." href="http://spanishpod.com/community/conversations/post/588#comment-11139">this thread</a></p>
<p>This seemed to have something to do with compiled flash programs.&nbsp; The short plain ones worked fine, just the compiled ones were messing up.&nbsp; Back on Oct 28th they had&nbsp; gotten 4 out of 6 to work and the new ones have the code problem fixed.</p>
<p>Thanks for bringing the old problem back to the surface. They still have all those old flash programs to recompile now that they know what the problem was.</p>
