Code to exploit Cisco flaw may pose risk
July 18, 2003
The Metasploit Project and its founder, HD Moore, hope to change that perception.
Get Up to Speed on... Enterprise security Get the latest headlines and company-specific news in our expanded GUTS section. |
On Wednesday, the project released an updated design framework to the Metasploit tool, which allows security experts to check computers on their networks and identify those vulnerable to newly released flaws. The updated framework, known as Metasploit Framework 2.0, enables people to create standardized plug-ins for the tool so that they can legally hack into computers by manipulating the latest security holes. The tool already has 18 exploits and 27 different possible payloads.
Overall, the tool could help administrators find and patch systems vulnerable to a new flaw, thereby blocking a would-be intruder from breaching a company's network security, according to Moore.
"This is a good research tool," Moore said, noting that some 30 percent of Metasploit beta testers are security consultants who seek to plug holes in their clients' networks. Other companies are using the tool proactively to detect flaws in their applications. "There is a large software company that has...rolled the Metasploit stuff into their (quality assurance) testing," he said.
Such a tool, however, could also become an online attacker's friend, automating the detection of vulnerable servers so that even a person with little technical knowledge could break into a computer, security researchers maintain.
A recent report by market research firm Forrester into software security threats found that attacks "explode after unscrupulous hackers build scripted versions." Many critics agree, saying such exploit-testing scripts--which turn a highly technical vulnerability into code that can be run with a few commands--allow far too many people to become online attackers.
"There will be about 10 academics and serious researchers who may find this interesting and about 10,000 kiddies who will blow each other's virtual brains out, with enterprise security folks caught in the middle," said Peter Lindstrom, the director of research for security consultancy Spire Security.
However, Metasploit does allow savvy network administrators to play on the same level as malevolent hackers, said Stephen Northcutt, director of training and certification for The SANS Institute, which teaches security and network administration. In particular, the tool saves them from having to spend a lot of time on coding.
"There is a natural concern that the tool will be used for malevolent purposes. But attackers are already developing exploits by hand, so this doesn't actually change anything," Northcutt said. "It is an iterative step in the development of shell code exploits, just as virus factory software was a step in the development of that flavor of malware."
Even Moore agrees that the project's wares will make exploiting vulnerabilities easier. However, he also maintains that the tool will be invaluable to system administrators to demonstrate that their networks are vulnerable and so gain the corporate resources necessary to patch their systems.
"The problem today is that many organizations do not patch systems until a working exploit is released," Moore said. "The bottom line is that exploits are not only useful but are (also) required for many types of legitimate work."
In fact, companies have created similar tools--and programs that use similar technologies--to do just that. Two security companies, Immunity and Core Security Technologies, have created their own network attack program to aid consultants who find vulnerable systems for a living. And in February, Hewlett-Packard announced that it had developed an automated attack tool that would create benign exploits to test a network's digital immune system.
To help defend against malicious use, Metasploit is putting signatures into its software to help the makers of defensive security products detect attacks generated via the tool.
Moore also points out that anyone can already buy such a product from a handful of security companies. However, he acknowledges that the widespread use of such software may make some network administrators' jobs harder.
"If (you are) a system admin that only patches boxes, of course you aren't going to want to see any new exploit code," Moore said. But that doesn't mean the problem is going away, he added. "We can do anything we want to curb exploit releases--make it illegal in America--but they will still get released," he said.

Join the conversation! Add your comment- Knowledge Vs Tools
- I am a firm believer in the use of tools to manage your network. You have to, IT has become so wide that you cannot work alone. The worse part is, there are users who think they know more than IT staff and yet they have trouble with MS Word. Most companies do not want to spend money on IT. If it's working leave it alone, doesn't matter that a better firewall will help prevent spam, filter people scanning your network, etc. They can surf that's all that matters, no need for VPN's, Terminal Services but they want access to their data 24/7 with no worries, no hassels and god forbid it goes down and no one wants to pay for it either. So what happens, leave as is until something breaks, no VPN, No Terminal services, you come into work, you do your work and then you go home.
Nothing wrong with that, just make sure everything is working. - Like Reply Link Flag

For many members of Congress and Capitol Hill staffers, their first introduction to The Heritage Foundation is through our Government Studies department.
Headed by Capitol Hill veterans Mike Franc and Dani Doane, Government Studies coordinates Heritage's outreach to Congress, one of the most important audiences for our research.
Just last month, more than 60 members of Congress attended weekly Heritage-sponsored events and meetings. And hundreds of Congressional staffers attended Heritage training sessions, luncheons and briefings. This is made possible by Heritage's proximity to the Capitol, which allows legislators and their staff to participate regularly in our events.
In all, Heritage hosted 63 separate events for lawmakers and Capitol Hill staff in February. This fits into a broader strategy of innovative outreach to Capitol Hill:
- 71 lawmakers attended our annual Conservative Members Retreat. This two-day event gave Heritage experts the opportunity to brief lawmakers directly on critical issues like cutting spending, national security, and the future of the conservative movement.
- More than 100 Capitol Hill staffers regularly attend exclusive training seminars known as the Heritage Congressional Fellows program, to educate the next generation of conservative leaders.
- We also had 24 senior-level staffers attend the Madison Fellows one-day colloquium bringing the total number of program participants to 160 staffers.
- Working with a coalition of other conservative organizations, Heritage recently hosted the launch party for Insight, a new effort to reach out to the growing number of conservative African American and Latino Hill staff. 150 staff were in attendance for this event.
All this is in addition to our regular contact with decision makers. We routinely pass along Heritage policy analysis and research to key Congressional offices to ensure they have the facts on critical debates.
What techniques would you use to make sure lawmakers have access to Heritage's conservative research?

Missing You Quotes and Sayings - Page 10
Never make someone miss you that much because you'll never know how you're giving them reasons to forget you.
To love you is easy, but to forget you makes me crazy.
I will stop missing you when I am with you.
You will never really miss a person until they're gone forever.
I miss you…. I want you…. I need you….. I love you….. Always
It's hard to go through life without the one who makes you happy.
I always say that I cannot imagine a day without you…
Now, I don't have to imagine it because I am going through that situation…
I used to be strong and happy that you are with me,
but now without you,I don't know what am I going to do…
cause I'm so lost without you…
Sometimes it hurt so much when you misses somebody that you can no longer breath…no longer cry…then the pain becomes familiar everyday that you just get used to it…and eventually there's numbness….
I miss you , I miss your smile , I miss the way you kiss me once in a while , even though your not here now , your still in my heart somehow , I miss you .. I miss you.
Every moment I spend away from you, is every moment I want to forget!
I'll have another chance, I'll find another guy/girl, I'll see another day and I'll build another world, and I'll find another life just like you told me to, I'll find another love…but there will never be…another you.
I just wish you could open your eyes and look at what you are doing to me.
Nothing hurts more than waiting since I don't even know what I'm waiting for anymore.
If you think missing me is hard, you wanna try missing you.
When I miss you, I miss everything about you and I can't do anything but to miss you.
For everything you have missed, you have gained something else, and for everything you gain, you lose something else.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
Making me laugh when I didn't even want to smile was one of your very few skills.
Now I have to force a fake smile across my face every single day when in reality the only thing I want to do is cry. I messed things up. I miss you.
You said you would always be there for me, where are you when I need you most?
You said you would never break my heart, then why is it in a million pieces?
You said you would always love me, then why won't you even look at me?
You said you never wanted to lose me, what happened to that?
What happened to what we use to be, what we had?
The day you miss me is the day that I miss you more!
Every time I think of you my heart yearns like the ocean that is running dry.


text: III. MASTER PLANS A. Purpose The regional master plan is regarded as one of the most cost effective means of achieving stormwater management goals. This chapter describes the concepts, elements, and requirements of regional plans. Regional master plans identify the needs of a watershed or portion thereof and formulate plans, programs, and policies for effective stormwater management. The plans coordinate facilities and policies, and help assure that all effects of watershed changes are identified, including especially the cumulative effects of many small-scale changes. Regional master plans are normally where major decisions are made as to: design assumptions and parameters; locations of structures; potential alternative uses of open channels; and requirements and locations of storage facilities. Regional master plans play a particularly important role in a developing region by providing critical information and criteria for the coordinated planning and design of development projects in the watershed. In addition, appropriate on-site flood control facilities may be required, and offsite facilities are identified for which developers may be charged shares. Appropriate floodplain and watershed development policies and decisions are also identified. For example, development may be discouraged in areas subject to flooding, and natural drainage ways may be preserved. B. Policies1. Master plans will be prepared as soon as possible for each major drainage basin. The major basins in Western Placer County are: - Auburn Ravine - in and below Auburn - Auburn Ravine - vicinity of Lincoln - Colfax - sphere of influence - Coon Creek - Doty Ravine - Dry Creek Basin - from headwaters to County line - Markham Ravine - vicinity of Lincoln - North Auburn area - Pleasant Grove Creek - from headwaters to County line.2. Regional master plans will be prepared by the Placer County Flood Control District. 3. Each municipality in Placer County is responsible for detailed master plans in its jurisdiction. The District will coordinate the local plans to assure consistency with the regional plans.4. Master plans are developed on the basis of priorities. The most pressing problems are not necessarily given the highest priority. A master plan of a basin in which development is just beginning might be simple, of low cost, and readily completed and most effective in terms of returns to the community. Priorities for master plans are based on: - frequency and severity of problems - opportunity for accomplishing goals - funding - information base available - manpower availability 5. The Placer County Flood Control District shall establish a format for master plan reports to achieve consistency in planning and facilitate coordination of efforts. The District shall archive and maintain all pertinent data developed during the master plan process and make it available to all affected parties. This data would include maps, map overlays, reports, and hydrologic and hydraulic models.C. Master Plan Elements1. Goals, Concepts, and CriteriaThe plan shall identify and describe the goals, concepts and assumptions of the plan and criteria to be used for evaluation. It should also identify: - basic flooding, erosion sedimentation and water quality problems in the region - pertinent legal and regulatory issues, environmental concerns - the relationship to other, regional drainage plans and to local general and specific plans for development. 2. Hydrologya. Hydrologic Features The plan shall identify and describe the important hydrologic features of the watershed including:- a watershed map with topography, including upstream areas, minimum 1:2000 scale - major conveyances - existing drainage structures and improvements - utilities - soils map and description - land use maps for existing and future conditions - maps of areas subject to flooding, erosion, sedimentation - locations of restrictions, such as road crossings - estimates of channel capacities - precipitation and flow frequency and magnitudes - a summary of streamflow and precipitation data - design flows at key points for existing and future conditions Previous studies, including FEMA, Corps of Engineers, SCS and consultant studies and reports, shall be identified and considered. b. Hydrologic Models A hydrologic model of the watershed is key to evaluating current and potential flow and flooding characteristics and evaluating potential mitigation measures. The model shall represent all major conveyances and storage, control facilities and include all relevant control points. It shall be reasonably sensitive to watershed and conveyance changes in order to evaluate general development projects and proposed improvements to the drainage system. The model shall represent both present and ultimate watershed conditions. The hydrologic models shall conform with the criteria and standards specified in this manual. The hydrologic models shall be maintained as tools for readily evaluating proposed changes to the watershed. Maintenance includes periodic updates to reflect current conditions. 3. Facilities, Policies, and Programs The plan shall identify and provide cost estimates for the facilities, programs and policies which would alleviate or mitigate problems and quantify their effects to the extent feasible. Evaluation of the alternative solutions shall be based on level of service cost, environmental effects, and potential for secondary use. Prioritization of recommended alternatives is an important step. The potential strategies could include: a. Capital ImprovementsPossible drainage improvements include major storm drain systems, detention or retention basins, and improvements to existing channels and road and railroad crossings. Cost estimates for the improvements shall include right of way easements and engineering, maintenance and administrative costs as well as land and construction costs. b. Floodplain Management ProgramThe delineation of 100-year floodplains is an important tool in the prevention of flood damages and may also support the availability of low-cost flood insurance under the National Flood Insurance Program administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The evaluation and determination of the 100-year floodplain shall at least meet FEMA standards and criteria, but shall also consider the 100-year floodplain under ultimate conditions of development and the effects of flood fringe filling. c. Flood Warning SystemsFlood warning systems can play an important role in reducing flood damages and saving lives. d. Monitoring ProgramA monitoring program is essential to maintaining and improving the performance of facilities and programs. e. Operations and Maintenance Program An ongoing operations and maintenance program is essential for an effective stormwater system. Channel maintenance can reduce flood damages by removal of floating debris which can clog or reduce the capacity of culverts and bridges. Channel maintenance can also include measures for the reduction of erosion at key locations. Maintenance programs shall identify the elements to be maintained and the types and frequency of maintenance procedures required to accomplish maintenance goals. Records of maintenance on similar elements would be useful in developing and evaluating a maintenance program. 4. Funding ProgramThe master plan shall include means of funding the construction, maintenance and administrative activities identified. Alternative sources of funding include: development fees based on the subdivision Map Act or CEQA; utility fees; Mello-Roos Districts, County Service Areas; and assessment districts.D. ApprovalsBasin Master Plans prepared by the Flood Control District shall be adopted by the affected jurisdictions and the Flood Control District Board of Directors in public meetings. E. Distribution and CoordinationCopies of approved master plans shall be distributed to the Placer County Flood Control District and to the governmental jurisdiction in which the works are located. Copies shall also be sent to each governmental entity located downstream along the tributary waterways affected.

A South Korean's unwanted war legacy from Japan
In 1944, he was abducted from his village by Japanese soldiers and forced to dig tunnels at a World War II camp. In 2005, he learned he was mistakenly listed among Japan's war dead at a Tokyo shrine.
For most of his life, Kim Hui-jong has kept what he considers a shameful secret. In 1944, as a teenager, he was abducted from his village in northern Korea by Japanese soldiers and forced to dig tunnels at a World War II military camp on the island of Saipan.
It would take him a decade of marriage to tell his wife about his past. Kim, 86, still often dreams of the battlefield shelling that severely damaged his hearing and the taunts of his captors: "You Koreans are like canned meat; we can take you anywhere and use you as we see fit."
He always considered his Japanese enslavement, and the two years he later spent as a U.S. prisoner of war, as a lifelong humiliation. Then, in 2005, Kim received a new insult he insists he still cannot bear: For decades, the former conscript learned, he has been counted among Japan's war dead and, because of an administrative error, his name is listed at Tokyo's controversial Yasukuni shrine. He could no longer remain silent.
Above: Kim Hui-jong, 86, of South Korea, has been trying to get Japan to remove his name from a list of that country's World War II dead: "I never fought for the Japanese; I was a forced laborer." (Matt Douma, For The Times / August 15, 2011)
——-This is awful. Yes, the relationship between South Korea and Japan has always been an extremely complicated one. As the American-born daughter of two South Korean immigrants, I've always known that. (If you don't believe me, ask any Korean person what they think of the Dokdo Islands.) Kim Hui-Jong's story breaks my heart.

Resort Sheet Set
sheets that are so comfortable and wash well
these sheets are of the highest quality. they are worth every penny. they are silky and wash well. plus they are very attractive
May 3, 2012
600 thread count resort sheet set
This resort sheet set is EXCELLENT!!! And, a tremendous value. I cannot remember being this pleased with bed linens in terms of quality, cost, appearance, and comfort. Kudos to Frontgate for another winning product.
April 21, 2012
Beautiful sheets - but wrinkle badly
As the prior reviews stated, the quality of the sheets are top notch. I have washed them several times and they only seem to soften over time. Only disappointment is that they wrinkle pretty badly (even taking them out while still damp)...because the material is heavier then less expensive sets, the wrinkles tend to set and require significant ironing to remove.
March 31, 2012
Resort Sheet Set
Love the sheets.
Hate having to iron the pillowcases and trim on top sheet!
March 30, 2012
GREAT nite's sleep
on our new RESORT SHEETS!! They are absolutely one of the best set of bed sheets we have ever purchased!!
this was our 1st purchase from FrontGate, but based upon the quality and value it will be the first of many!
March 22, 2012
Nice Sheet Set
Great Sheet Set, nice quality materials and handcrafting. Not quite the color I had desired, but over great set.
March 16, 2012
Soft resort sheets
These sheets are extremely soft and comfortable. And the embroidered trim is a very elegant touch. Highly recommend these.
March 8, 2012
Great purchase
I love the sheets that I ordered. My only complaint is that the monogram was much smaller that I thought it would be.
March 7, 2012
Sheets are nice fabric, but color ran immediately as my wife uses Proactiv products including benzyol Peroxide which caused the color on the sheets to immediately bleach out!
March 5, 2012
Beats all others
Won't purchase any other type of sheets after one night!
March 5, 2012
I have purchased several sets of sheets from Frontgate in the past, but believe this will be my last. For the price these sheets are very disappointing.
The pillow cases are about 2 to 4 inches too small for a standard pillow. The hem on the flat sheet is only seamed by the embroidery. The remaining material curls up on itself. Additionally, these are the thinnest 600 thread count sheets that I have ever encountered!
March 4, 2012
Resort sheets
Great quality; good feel; crisp when pressed. Also love the design on top and size (some sheets are too wide and hang down below coverlet)
Thus far we are always pleased w/ Frontgate!
March 3, 2012
Great Value
The sheets are very comfortable and have a great feel to them. I just wish they weren't so prone to wrinkling after drying.
March 3, 2012
Very Nice Sheets
Nothing like having custom sheets. Feels and looks Great!!!
February 22, 2012
Nice monogram
Sheets wrinkle more than expected. Had to iron pillow cases after washing. But very nice and soft
February 22, 2012
600 thread-count resort sheet set
I love the weight and feel of these sheets. The colors on the website are not the colors you will receive. The honey wheat turned out to be honey mustard... a very strong color, not the neutral on the website.
February 20, 2012
February 18, 2012
Nice sheets, but could be better
Overall I am impressed with these sheets, however they do have their drawbacks. They do wrinkle quite a bit after washing and require pressing. They also seem to have been softer out of the package than after they were washed. I am used to a softer sheet when I buy this high of a thread count. They are well made, large enough to fit on a oversized king mattress, and very prettty. We purchased white with the scroll design. The material has a soft sheen to it that is very elegant. I am hoping as with most sheets that they soften with continued use and washings.
February 16, 2012
Love these sheets!!
My husband and I both love these sheets!! Probably the most comformtable sheets we've purchased to date. I did not get the monogramming just in case I didn't like them....but that was a mistake!! We will be purchasing a second pair so we will definitely take advantage of the mongramming!! Yes, people mentioned they wrinkle...yes a little bit, not a big deal in my book. You can iron if you'd like and I'm sure they will be fine. Highly recommend these sheets!!
February 8, 2012
Amazing Sheets
These sheets are truly the best ever. The quality and luxury are what I have been searching for in sheets for years. Thank you Frontgate once again for making my home and my life fabulous!
February 8, 2012
great feel; could be better fit
The sheets are great, but don't fit our California King bed as snugly as I like. I understand they are made for a generic fit; we have a sleep number mattress on our bed, and these sheets are just not snug enough.
February 8, 2012
Quality sheets
Love the high thread count on these sheets--so silky smooth. Even my husband noticed and commented! The embroidery made a nice touch. I did not realize that the king set included king size pillowcases so I actually did not need to buy theses (although it allowed me to personalize them).
February 4, 2012
Great Purchase
Love these sheets, the detailing is beautiful, soft to sleep in, great value, will be purchasing more of these
February 3, 2012
OK, but don't live up to billing
These pillow cases are well made, but aren't long enough. I used to have softer pillows and all my cases were "too long". I recently purchased a bit firmer pillows (standard size) and my "too long" cases are now great. The Resort Sheet cases, however, don't lay properly over the edge of the pillow - they are a bit shorter than my other cases. So I'm disappointed in that. They are reasonably soft. They wash like any all cotton - come out a bit rumply, but that's to be expected. I haven't had them long enought to see how many washings will give them that super-soft feeling. I purchased these on sale; if I had paid full price I think I would return them for not being "ample" enough.
February 2, 2012
Great Sheets!
I was worried I would not like these sheets since some reviewers said they wrinkled, especially since I own a front load washer that wrinkles everything. However, these sheets came out great after the first wash. They were a little crumpled, but really not bad at all. They feel very silky smooth, and I love the length of the top sheet, which allows you to fold over the top to show off the embroidery and monogram. I would highly recommend these sheets.!

Glorious sheets
These sheets are as wonderful as anything I have slept on in a fancy hotel. Monogram is also perfect. It is hard switching back to ordinary sheets while these are being laundered!

Outstanding Comfort and Quality
We have tried many bed sheets from all the major and best companies. We have owned these 2 sets for 6-12 months now. These are the best we've ever used. Generously sized with little to no shrinkage. Soft and cozy...you won't regret this choice!

Very nice sheets
These are very nice sheets. I usually purchase Charisma sheets, but recently decided to try something new in an effort to spend a little less money. These sheets are soft, wash well and are very pretty (I selected the embroidered hem). I would definitely purchase them again.

Definition of "Set"
When ordering a set of sheets, I noticed that the explanation for "set" did not include pillow cases. So I order pillow cases separately. But the set did include pillow cases and now I have to return the additional cases that I purchased.

Back in 2005 or 2006 I purchased sheets with this type of embroidered hem (sold separately), and they were a lot heavier/thicker than the ones I purchased in 2010 which I thought were the same. I totally loved the first set which lasted forever and only like the second set. I am looking for a sheet that is heavier/thicker, rather than the light/crisp ones I have now.
4 months, 1 week ago
We appreciate your interest in this item. The resort sheets are a lighter, crisp sheet set. We do offer our Duet Sheet Set by Peacock Alley, item 59420, which are heavier/thicker.Answer:
The sheets I just ordered and received are heavy. The have a beautiful hand and drape nicely.3 months, 2 weeks ago
I found these sheets to be thicker than most of my others.3 months, 1 week ago
I just received and washed the resort sheet set I ordered. I've never had sheet as wrinkled as these post wash and dry. I see that others have similar problems. I have no time or interest in ironing sheets particularly because I wash them weekly. Sending them out will be expenise. What is the best way to minimize wrinkles?
5 months, 2 weeks ago
Try putting the top sheet and fitted sheet in the dryer separately with a fabric softener sheet. This sometimes keeps the sheets from wrinkling. Also, if you have a hand steamer, you can run it along the top of the sheet, even when its on the bed. Also, once they're on the bed and pulled tightly across, the wrinkles tend to flatten out a bit.Hope this helps!
5 months, 2 weeks ago
I have my sheets ironed and it definitely controls the wrinkle. One other option might be to spray them with a linen spray or even starch before putting them in the dryer.Length of Ownership: < 1 year

Uncle Wong
The Zeedijk in Amsterdam's Chinatown is well-known for it's many Chinese restaurants. But also in another very popular area you are able to enjoy these Asian delights.
In an area called "De Pijp", well-known amongst the locals for it's cafe's and restaurants, you will find Uncle Wong, a Chinese restaurant at Albert Cuypstraat (next to the market). It offers great food, good prices and a modern interior.
Check it out!
http://www.unclewong.nl/ (site is in Dutch, but the menu is also in English
Get € 10 discount on your booking If you book your room on our site www.bb-lafesta.com and insert the code "lafesta' in the discount field, you will receive a € 10 discount per room per night. Very special restaurant in Amsterdam. If you want to have dinner in a very special place, try the REM Eiland restaurant (REM Island Restaurant). In the early sixties there was only one television channel in the Netherlands. The available air time was divided between six denominational broadcasters. Although permitting commercial television was being discussed since the fifties, the Dutch government did nothing about it. The only possibility was to broadcast from the sea, outside territorial waters. Therefore, the REM island was build and it served it's purpose until 17 December 1964 and became a measuring station for the Dutch government. In 2006 it was taken to shore and renovated. In March 2011 the REM Eiland restaurant was opened in Amsterdam offering a spectacular view on the IJ (waterway on which Amsterdam was build) and part of the harbor. A three course menu is € 28,50 only and reviews are promising. See http://www.remeiland.com/ for more impressions. (unfortunately not in English). |
Amsterdam in top 5 cleanest air Amsterdam belongs to the top five cities in Europe with the cleanest air, according to a report by the European Environmental Bureau. After comparing the air quality in 25 major cities the research body found that Berlin, Stockholm and Copenhagen are the most effective in reducing air pollution. Rome, Milan and Dusseldorf are the worst. Amsterdam scored particularly well in terms of clean cars and ease of public transport.

Draigoch armor set - again w/o finesse!?
Looks like the Dirge-singer armor set has lost its finesse (from chest and bracers), back to the original stats...
Is this part of the resurfacing of the coda bug and will be fixed in 6.1? Or it is WAI?
PS: Not that i think finesse is very important when healing, but it is nice to know what to expect when planning the build up. That left me with 700 finesse...

Re: Draigoch armor set - again w/o finesse!?
No mention of the anthem wipe from coda on those, or is that tied up with the second mini bug?

Re: Draigoch armor set - again w/o finesse!?
"When two minstrels are in the same Fellowship, Coda use by one of them will no longer prevent Coda use by the other." Using a coda is what wipes the anthems. With this fix, one mini's coda will not burn the anthem of another mini, so the other mini's coda would still be available.

Re: Draigoch armor set - again w/o finesse!?
It seemed to be tied up last time they fixed the bug, so I'm hoping that it'll be that way this time, too. If not, harmony stance will be pretty pointless since coda alone is just as useless as anthems alone, and we'll be back to only having a choice between war speech and melody.

BOOK XIV.*ChapterI. Hëen asked what might be considered shameful. The Master said, "When good government prevails in a State, to be thinking only of his salary; and, when bad government prevails, to be thinking in the same way, only of his salary;—this is shameful." II.1. "When the love of superiority, boasting, resentments, and covetousness are repressed, may this be deemed perfect virtue?" 2. The Master said, "This may be regarded as the achievement of what is difficult. But I do not know that it is to be deemed perfect virtue." III. The Master said, "The scholar who cherishes the love of comfort, is not fit to be deemed a scholar." IV. The Master said, "When good government prevails in a State, language may be lofty and bold, and actions the same. When bad government prevails, the actions may be lofty and bold, but the language may be with some reserve." V. The Master said, "The virtuous will be sure to speak correctly, but those whose speech is good may not always be virtuous. Men of principle are sure to be bold, but those who are bold may not always be men of principle." VI. Nan-kung Kwŏh, submitting an inquiry to Confucius, said, "E was skilful at archery, and Ngaou could move a boat along upon the land, but neither of them died a natural death. Yu and Tseih personally wrought at the toils of husbandry, and they became possessors of the empire." The Master made no reply, but when Nan-kung Kwŏh went out, he said, "A superior man indeed is this! An esteemer of virtue indeed is this!" VII. The Master said, "Superior men, and yet not always virtuous, there have been, alas! But there never has been a mean man, and, at the same time, virtuous." VIII. The Master said, "Can there be love which does not lead to strictness with its object? Can there be loyalty which does not lead to the instruction of its object?" IX. The Master said, "In preparing the governmental notifications, P'e Shin first made the rough draught; She-shuh examined and discussed its contents; Tsze-yu, the manager of Foreign intercourse, then improved and polished it; and, finally, Tsze-ch'an of Tungle gave it the proper softness and finish." X.1. Some one asked about Tsze-ch'an. The Master said, "He was a kind man." 2. He asked about Tsze-se. The Master said, "That man! That man!" 3. He asked about Kwan Chung. "For him," said the Master, "the city of Peen, with three hundred families, was taken from the chief of the Pih family, who did not utter a murmuring word, though, till he was toothless, he had only coarse rice to eat." XI. The Master said, "To be poor without murmuring is difficult. To be rich without being proud is easy." XII. The Master said, "Măng Kung-ch'ŏ is more than fit to be chief officer in the Families of Chaou and Wei, but he is not fit to be minister to either of the States T'ăng or Sëĕ." XIII.1. Tsze-loo asked what constituted a complete man. The Master said, "Suppose a man with the knowledge of Tsang Woo-chung, the freedom from covetousness of Kung-ch'ŏ, the bravery of Chwang of Peen, and the varied talents of Yen K'ew; add to these the accomplishments of the rules of propriety and music:—such an one might be reckoned a complete man." 2.He then added, "But what is the necessity for a complete man of the present day to have all these things? The man, who in the view of gain thinks of righteousness; who in the view of danger is prepared to give up his life; and who does not forget an old agreement, however far back it extends:—such a man may be reckoned a complete man." XIV.1. The Master asked Kung-ming Kea about Kung-shuh Wăn, saying, "Is it true that your master speaks not, laughs not, and takes not?" 2. Kung-ming Kea replied, "This has arisen from the reporters going beyond the truth.—My master speaks when it is the time to speak, and so men do not get tired of his speaking. He laughs when there is occasion to be joyful, and so men do not get tired of his laughing. He takes when it is consistent with righteousness to do so, and so men do not get tired of his taking." The Master said, "So! But is it so with him?" XV. The Master said, "Tsang Woo-chung, keeping possession of Fang, asked of the duke of Loo to appoint a successor to him in his Family. Although it may be said that he was not using force with his sovereign, I believe he was." XVI. The Master said, "The Duke Wăn of Tsin was crafty and not upright. The Duke Hwan of Ts'e was upright and not crafty." XVII.1. Tsze-loo said, "The Duke Hwan caused his brother Kew to be killed, when Shaou Hwŭh died with his master, but Kwan Chung did not do so. May not I say that he was wanting in virtue?" 2. The Master said, "The Duke Hwan assembled all the princes together, and that not with weapons of war and chariots:—it was all through the influence of Kwan Chung. Whose beneficence was like his? Whose beneficence was like his?" XVIII.1. Tsze-kung said, "Kwan Chung, I apprehend, was wanting in virtue. When the Duke Hwan caused his brother Kew to be killed, Kwan Chung was not able to die with him. Moreover, he became prime minister to Hwan." 2. The Master said, "Kwan Chung acted as prime minister to the Duke Hwan, made him leader of all the princes, and united and rectified the whole empire. Down to the present day, the people enjoy the gifts which he conferred. But for Kwan Chung, we should now be wearing our hair dishevelled, and the lappets of our coats buttoning on the left side. 3. "Will you require from him the small fidelity of common men and common women, who would commit suicide in a stream or ditch, no one knowing anything about them?" XIX.1. The officer, Sëen, who had been family-minister to Kung-shuh Wăn, ascended to the prince's court in company with Wăn. 2. The Master having heard of it, said, "He deserves to be considered wĂn." XX.1. The Master was speaking about the unprincipled course of the Duke Ling of Wei, when Ke K'ang said, "Since he is of such a character, how is it he does not lose his throne?" 2. Confucius said, "The Chung-shuh, Yu, has the superintendence of his guests and of strangers; the litanist, T'o, has the management of his ancestral temple; and Wang-sun Kea has the direction of the army and forces:—with such officers as these, how should he lose his throne?" XXI. The Master said, "He who speaks without modesty will find it difficult to make his words good." XXII.1. Ch'in Ch'ing murdered the Duke Keen of Ts'e. 2. Confucius bathed, went to court, and informed the Duke Gae, saying, "Ch'in Hăng has slain his sovereign. I beg that you will undertake to punish him." 3. The duke said, "Inform the chiefs of the three families of it." 4. Confucius retired, and said, "Following, as I do, in the rear of the great officers, I did not dare not to represent such a matter, and my prince says, 'Inform the chiefs of the three families of it.' " 5. He went to the chiefs, and informed them, but they would not act. Confucius then said, "Following in the rear of the great officers, I did not dare not to represent such a matter." XXIII. Tsze-loo asked how a sovereign should be served. The Master said, "Do not impose on him, and, moreover, withstand him to his face." XXIV. The Master said, "The progress of the superior man is upwards; the progress of the mean man is downwards." XXV. The Master said, "In ancient times, men learned with a view to their own improvement. Now-a-days, men learn with a view to the approbation of others." XXVI.1. Keu Pih-yuh sent a messenger with friendly inquiries to Confucius. 2. Confucius sat with him, and questioned him. "What," said he, "is your master engaged in?" The messenger replied, "My master is anxious to make his faults few, but he has not yet succeeded." He then went out, and the Master said, "A messenger indeed! A messenger indeed!" XXVII. The Master said, "He who is not in any particular office has nothing to do with plans for the administration of its duties." XXVIII.1. The philosopher Tsăng said, "The superior man, in his thoughts, does not go out of his place." XXIX. The Master said, "The superior man is modest in his speech, but exceeds in his actions." XXX.1. The Master said, "The way of the superior man is threefold, but I am not equal to it. Virtuous, he is free from anxieties; wise, he is free from perplexities; bold, he is free from fear." 2. Tsze-kung said, "Master, that is what you yourself say." XXXI. Tsze-kung was in the habit of comparing men together. The Master said, "Ts'ze must have reached a high pitch of excellence! Now, I have not leisure for this." XXXII. The Master said, "I will not be concerned at men's not knowing me; I will be concerned at my own want of ability." XXXIII. The Master said, "He who does not anticipate attempts to deceive him, nor think beforehand of his not being believed, and yet apprehends these things readily when they occur;—is he not a man of superior worth?" XXXIV.1. Wei-shang Mow said to Confucius, "K'ew, how is it that you keep roosting about? Is it not that you are an insinuating talker?" 2. Confucius said, "I do not dare to play the part of such a talker, but I hate obstinacy." XXXV. The Master said, "A horse is called a k'e, not because of its strength, but because of its other good qualities." XXXVI.1. Some one said, "What do you say concerning the principle that injury should be recompensed with kindness?" 2. The Master said, "With what then will you recompense kindness? 3. "Recompense injury with justice, and recompense kindness with kindness." XXXVII.1. The Master said, "Alas! there is no one that knows me." 2. Tsze-kung said, "What do you mean by thus saying—that no one knows you?" The Master replied, "I do not murmur against Heaven. I do not grumble against men. My studies lie low, and my penetration rises high. But there is Heaven;—that knows me!" XXXVIII.1. The Kung-pih, Leaou, having slandered Tsze-loo to Ke-sun, Tsze-fuh King-pih informed Confucius of it, saying, "Our Master is certainly being led astray by the Kung-pih, Leaou, but I have still power enough left to cut Leaou off, and expose his corpse in the market and in the court." 2. The Master said, "If my principles are to advance, it is so ordered. If they are to fall to the ground, it is so ordered. What can the Kung-pih, Leaou, do, where such ordering is concerned?" XXXIX.1. The Master said, "Some men of worth retire from the world. 2. "Some retire from particular countries. 3. "Some retire because of disrespectful looks. 4. "Some retire because of contradictory language." XL. The Master said, "Those who have done this are seven men." XLI. Tsze-loo happening to pass the night in Shih-mun, the gate-keeper said to him, "Whom do you come from?" Tsze-loo said, "From Mr K'ung." "It is he,—is it not?"—said the other, "who knows the impracticable nature of the times, and yet will be doing in them." XLII.1. The Master was playing, one day, on a musical stone in Wei, when a man, carrying a straw basket, passed the door of the house where Confucius was, and said, "His heart is full who so beats the musical stone." 2. A little while after he added, "How contemptible is the one-idea obstinacy those sounds display! When one is taken no notice of, he has simply at once to give over his wish for public employment. 'Deep water must be crossed with the clothes on; shallow water may be waded through with the clothes rolled up.' " 3. The Master said, "How determined is he in his purpose! But this is not difficult." XLIII.1. Tsze-chang said, "What is meant when the shoo says that Kaou-tsung, while observing the usual imperial mourning, was for three years without speaking?" 2. The Master said, "Why must Kaou-tsung be referred to as an example of this? The ancients all did so. When the sovereign died, the officers all attended to their several duties, taking instructions from the prime minister for three years." XLIV. The Master said, "When rulers love to observe the rules of propriety, the people respond readily to the calls on them for service." XLV. Tsze-loo asked what constituted the superior man. The Master said, "The cultivation of himself in reverential carefulness." "And is this all?" said Tsze-loo. "He cultivates himself so as to give rest to others," was the reply. "And is this all?" again asked Tsze-loo. The Master said, "He cultivates himself so as to give rest to all the people. He cultivates himself so as to give rest to all the people:—even Yaou and Shun were still solicitous about this." XLVI. Yuen Jang was squatting on his heels, and so waited the approach of the Master, who said to him: "In youth, not humble as befits a junior; in manhood, doing nothing worthy of being handed down; and living on to old age:—this is to be a pest." With this he hit him on the shank with his staff. XLVII.1. A lad of the village of K'euĕh was employed by Confucius to carry the messages between him and his visitors. Some one asked about him, saying, "I suppose he has made great progress." 2. The Master said, "I observe that he is fond of occupying the seat of a full-grown man; I observe that he walks shoulder to shoulder with his elders. He is not one who is seeking to make progress in learning. He wishes quickly to become a man." [* ]Heading and subjects of this book.—The glossarist Hing Ping says, "In this Book we have the characters of the Three Kings, and Two Chiefs, the courses proper for princes and great officers, the practice of virtue, the knowledge of what is shameful, personal cultivation, and the tranquillizing of the people;—all subjects of great importance in government. They are therefore collected together, and arranged after the last chapter which commences with an inquiry about government." Some writers are of opinion that the whole book was compiled by Heen or Yuen Sze, who appears in the first chapter. [1. ]It is shameful in an officer to be caring only about his emolument. Heen is the Yuen Sze of VI. iii.; and if we suppose Confucius' answer designed to have a practical application to Hëen himself, it is not easily reconcileable with what appears of his character in that other place. [2. ]The praise of perfect virtue is not to be allowed for the repression of bad feelings. In Ho An, this chapter is joined to the preceding, and Choo He also takes the first paragraph to be a question of Yuen Heen. [3. ]A scholar must be aiming at what is higher than comfort or pleasure. Compare IV. xi. [4. ]What one does must always be right; what one feels need not always be spoken:—a lesson of prudence. [5. ]We may predicate the external from the internal, but not vice versâ. [6. ]Eminent prowess conducting to ruin, eminent virtue leading to empire. The modesty of Confucius. Nan-kung Kwŏh is said by Choo He to have been the same as Nan Yung in V. i.; but this is doubtful. See on Nan Yung there. Kwŏh, it is said, insinuated in his remark an inquiry, whether Confucius was not like Yu or Tseih, and the great men of the time so many Es and Ngaous, and the sage was modestly silent upon the subject. E and Ngaou carry us back to the twenty-second century before Christ. The first belonged to a family of princelets, famous, from the time of the Emperor Kuh (bc 2432), for their archery, and dethroned the Emperor How Seang, bc 2145. E was afterwards slain by his minister, Han Tsuh, who then married his wife, and one of their sons was the individual here named Ngaou, who was subsequently destroyed by the Emperor Shaou-k'ang, the posthumous son of How-seang. Tseih was the son of the Emperor Kuh, of whose birth many prodigies are narrated, and appears in the Shoo-king as the minister of agriculture to Yaou and Shun, by name K'e. The Chow family traced their descent lineally from him, so that though the empire only came to his descendants more than a thousand years after his time, Nan-kung Kwŏh speaks as if he had got it himself, as Yu did. [7. ]The highest virtue not easily attained to, and incompatible with meanness. Compare IV. iv. We must supply the "always," to bring out the meaning. [8. ]A lesson for parents and ministers, that they must be strict and decided. [9. ]The excellence of the official notifications of Ch'ing, owing to the ability of four of its officers. The state of Ch'ing, small and surrounded by powerful neighbours, was yet fortunate in having able ministers, through whose mode of conducting its government it enjoyed considerable prosperity. Tsze-ch'an (see V. xv.) was the chief minister of the State, and in preparing such documents first used the services of P'e Shin, who was noted for his wise planning of matters. "She-shuh" shows the relation of the officer indicated to the ruling family. His name was Yew-keih. [10. ]The judgment of Confucius concerning Tsze-ch'an, Tsze-se, and Kwan Chung. 1. See V. xv. 2. Tsze-se was the chief minister of T'soo. He had refused to accept the nomination to the sovereignty of the State in preference to the rightful heir, but did not oppose the usurping tendencies of the rulers of T'soo. He had moreover opposed the wish of King Ch'aou to employ the sage. 3. Kwan Chung,—see III. xxii. To reward his merits, the Duke Hwan conferred on him the domain of the officer mentioned in the text, who had been guilty of some offence. His submitting, as he did, to his changed fortunes was the best tribute to Kwan's excellence. [11. ]It is harder to bear poverty aright than to carry riches. This sentiment may be controverted. [12. ]The capacity of Mang Kung-ch'ŏ. Kung-ch'ŏ was the head of the Măng, or Chung-sun family, and according to the "Historical Records," was valued by Confucius more than any other great man of the times in Loo. His estimate of him, however, as appears here, was not very high. In the sage's time, the government of the State of Tsin was in the hands of the three Families, Chaou, Wei, and Han, which afterwards divided the territory among themselves, and became, as we shall see, in the times of Mencius, three independent principalities. T'ang was a small state, the place of which is seen in the district of the same name in the department of Yen-chow, Shan-tung. Seĕ was another small state adjacent to it. [13. ]Of the complete man:—a conversation with Tsze-loo. 1. Tsang Woo-chung had been an officer of Loo in the reign anterior to that in which Confucius was born. So great was his reputation for wisdom that the people gave him the title of "sage." Woo was his honorary epithet, and Chung denotes his family place, among his brothers. Chwang, it is said, by Choo He, after Chow, one of the oldest commentators, whose surname only has come down to us, was "great officer of the city of Peen." In the "Great Collection of Surnames." a secondary branch of a family of the state of T'saou having settled in Loo, and being gifted with Peen, its members took their surname thence. [14. ]The character of Kung-shuh Wăn, who was said neither to speak, nor laugh, nor take. 1. Wăn was the honorary epithet of the individual in question, by name Che, or, as some say, Fă, an officer of the state of Wei. He was descended from the Duke Heen, and was himself the founder of the Kung-shuh family, being so designated, I suppose, because of his relation to the reigning duke. Of Kung-ming Kea nothing seems to be known. [15. ]Condemnation of Tsang Woo-chung for forcing a favour from his prince. Woo-chung (see chapter xiii.) was obliged to fly from Loo, by the animosity of the Măng family, and took refuge in Choo. As the head of the Tsang family, it devolved on him to offer the sacrifices in the ancestral temple, and he wished one of his half-brothers to be made the head of the family, in his room, that those might not be neglected. To strengthen the application for this, which he contrived to get made, he returned himself to the city of Fang, which belonged to his family, and thence sent a message to the court, which was tantamount to a threat that if the application were not granted, he would hold possession of the place. This was what Confucius condemned,—in a matter which should have been left to the duke's grace. [16. ]The different characters of the dukes Wăn of Tsin and Hwan of Ts'e. Hwan and Wăn were the two first of the five leaders of the princes of the empire, who play an important part in Chinese history, during the period of the Chow dynasty known as the Ch'un Ts'ew. Hwan ruled in Ts'e, bc 683—640, and Wăn in Tsin bc 635—627. Of Duke Hwan, see the next chapter. The attributes mentioned by Confucius are not to be taken absolutely, but as respectively predominating in the two chiefs. [17. ]The merit of Kwan Chung:—a conversation with Tsze-loo. 1. "The duke's son Kew," but, to avoid the awkwardness of that rendering, I say—"his brother." Hwan and Kew had both been refugees in different States, the latter having been carried into Loo, away from the troubles and dangers of Ts'e, by the ministers Kwan Chung and Shaou Hwuh. On the death of the prince of Ts'e, Hwan anticipated Kew, got to Ts'e, and took possession of the State. Soon after, he required the duke of Loo to put his brother to death, and to deliver up the two ministers, when Shaou Hwuh chose to dash his brains out, and die with his master, while Kwan Chung returned gladly to Ts'e, took service with Hwan, became his prime minister, and made him supreme arbiter among the various chiefs of the empire. Such conduct was condemned by Tsze-loo. 2. Confucius detends Kwan Chung, on the ground of the services which he rendered. [18. ]The merit of Kwan Chung:—a conversation with Tsze-kung. 1. Tsze-loo's doubts about Kwan Chung arose from his not dying with the Prince Kew. Tsze-kung's turned principally on his subsequently becoming premier to Hwan. 2. Anciently the right was the position of honour, and the right hand, moreover, is the more convenient for use, but the practice of the barbarians was contrary to that of China in both points. The sentence of Confucius is, that but for Kwan Chung, his countrymen would have sunk to the state of the rude tribes about them. 3. By "small fidelity" is intended the faithfulness of a married couple of the common people, where the husband takes no concubine in addition to his wife. The argument is this:—"Do you think Kwan Chung should have considered himself bound to Kew, as a common man considers himself bound to his wife? And would you have had him commit suicide, as common people will do on any slight occasion?" Commentators say that there is underlying the vindication this fact:—that Kwang Chung's and Shaou Hwuh's adherence to Kew was wrong in the first place. Kew being the younger brother. Chung's conduct therefore was not to be judged as if Kew had been the senior. There is nothing of this, however, in Confucius' words. He vindicates Chung simply on the ground of his subsequent services, and his reference to "the small fidelity" of husband and wife among the common people is very unhappy. [19. ]The merit of Kung-shuh Wăn in recommending to office a man of worth. Kung-shuh WĂn, see chapter xiv. The paragraph is to be understood as intimating that Kung-shuh, seeing the worth and capacity of his minister, had recommended him to his sovereign, and afterwards was not ashamed to appear in the same rank with him at court. [20. ]The importance of good and able ministers:—seen in the state of Wei. 1. Ling was the honorary epithet of Yuen, duke of Wei. bc 533—492. He was the husband of Nan-tsze, VI. xxvi. 2. The Chung-shuh, Yu, is the K'ung Wăn of V. xiv. Chung-shuh expresses his family position, according to the degrees of kindred. "The litanist, T'o,"—see VI. xiv. Wang-sun Kea,—see III. xiii. [21. ]Extravagant speech hard to be made good. Compare IV. xxii. [22. ]How Confucius wished to avenge the murder of the duke of Ts'e:—his righteous and public spirit. 1. Keen,—"indolent in not a single virtue," and "tranquil, not speaking unadvisedly," are the meanings attached to this as an honorary epithet; while Ch'ing indicates "tranquillizer of the people, and establisher of government." The murder of the Duke Keen by his officer, Ch'in Hăng, took place bc 480, barely two years before Confucius' death. 2. "Bathing" implies all the fasting and other solemn preparation, as for a sacrifice or other great occasion. According to the account of this matter in the Tso Ch'uen, Confucius meant that the Duke Gae should himself, with the forces of Loo, undertake the punishment of the regicide. Some modern commentators cry out against this. The sage's advice, they say, would have been that the duke should report the thing to the emperor, and with his authority associate other princes with himself to do justice on the offender. 3. This is taken as the remark of Confucius, or his colloquy with himself, when he had gone out from the duke. The last observation was spoken to the chiefs, to reprove them for their disregard of a crime, which concerned every public man. [23. ]How the minister of a prince must be sincere and boldly upright. [24. ]The different progressive tendencies of the superior man and the mean man. [25. ]The different motives of learners in old times, and in the times of Confucius. [26. ]An admirable messenger. Pih-vuh was the designation of Keu Yuen, an officer of the state of Wei, and a disciple of the sage. His place is now first, east, in the outer court of the temples. Confucius had lodged with him when in Wei, and it was after his return to Loo that Pih-yuh sent to inquire for him. [27. ] A repetition of VIII. xiv. [28. ]The thoughts of a superior man in harmony with his position. Tsăng here quotes from the illustration of the fifty-second diagram of the Yih-king, but he leaves out a character, and thereby alters the meaning somewhat. What is said in the Yih, is—"The superior man is thoughtful, and so does not go out of his place."—The chapter, it is said, is inserted here, from its analogy with the preceding. [29. ]The superior man more in deeds than in words. [30. ]Confucius' humble estimate of himself, which Tsze-kung denies. [31. ]One's work is with one's self:—against making comparisons. [32. ]Concern should be about our personal attainment, and not about the estimation of others. See I. xvi., et al. A critical canon is laid down here by Choo He:—"All passages, the same in meaning and in words, are to be understood as having been spoken only once, and their recurrence is the work of the compilers. Where the meaning is the same and the language a little different, they are to be taken as having been repeated by Confucius himself, with the variations." According to this rule, the sentiment in this chapter was repeated by the master in four different utterances. [33. ]Quick discrimination without suspiciousness is highly meritorious. [34. ]Confucius not self-willed and yet no glib-tongued talker:—defence of himself from the charge of an aged reprover. From Wei-shang's addressing Confucius by his name, it is presumed that he was an old man. Such a liberty in a young man would have been impudence. It is presumed, also, that he was one of those men who kept themselves retired from the world in disgust. "Rooster-er," as a bird, is used contemptuously with reference to Confucius going about among the princes, and wishing to be called to office. [35. ]Virtue, and not strength, the fit subject of praise.K'i was the name of a famous horse of antiquity who could run 1000 le in one day. See the dictionary in voc. It is here used generally for "a good horse." [36. ]Good is not to be returned for evil, evil is to be met simply with justice. 1 The phrase "Recompense injury with kindness" is found in Laou-tsze, but it is likely that Confucius' questioner simply consulted him about it as a saying which he had heard and was inclined to approve himself. 2. How far the ethics of Confucius fall below the Christian standard is evident from this chapter. The same expressions are attributed to Confucius in the Le-ke, XXXII. 11, and it is there added,—"He who returns good for evil is a man who is careful of his person," i. e., will try to avert danger from himself by such a course. One author says, that the injuries intended by the questioner were only trivial matters, which perhaps might be dealt with in the way he mentioned, but great offences, as those against a sovereign, a father, may not be dealt with by such an inversion of the principles of justice. The Master himself, however, does not fence his deliverance in any way. [37. ]Confucius, lamenting that men did not know him, rests in the thought that Heaven knew him. Confucius referred in his complaint, commentators say, to the way in which he pursued his course, simply, out of his own conviction of duty, and for his own improvement, without regard to success, or the opinions of others. 2. "My studies he low, and my penetration rises high" is literally—"beneath I learn, above I penetrate,"—the meaning appears to be that he contented himself with the study of men and things, common matters as more ambitious spirits would deem them, but from those he rose to understand the high principles involved in them,—"the appointments of Heaven," according to one commentator. [38. ]How Confucius rested, as to the progress of his doctrines on the ordering of Heaven:—on occasion of Tsze-loo's being slandered. Leaou, called Kung-pih (literally, duke's uncle) probably from an affinity with the ducal house, is said by some to have been a disciple of the sage, but that is not likely, as we find him here slandering Tsze-loo, that he might not be able, in his official connection with the Ke family, to carry the Master's lessons into practice. Tsze-fuh King-pih was an officer of Loo. Exposing the bodies of criminals was a sequel of their execution. The bodies of "great officers" were so exposed in the court, and those of meaner criminals in the market-place. "The market-place and the court" came to be employed together, though the exposure could take place only in one place. [39. ]Different causes why men of worth withdraw from public life, and different extents to which they so withdraw themselves. [40. ]The number of men of worth who had withdrawn from public life in Confucius' time. This chapter is understood, both by Choo. He and the old commentators, in connection with the preceding, as appears in the translation. Some also give the names of the seven men, which, according to Choo, is "chiselling," i. e., forcing out an illustration of the text. [41. ]Condemnation of Confucius' course in seeking to be employed, by one who had withdrawn from public life. The site of Shih-mun is referred to the district of Ch'ang-tsung, department of Ts'e-nan, in Shan-tung. The keeper was probably one of the seven worthies, spoken of in the preceding chapter. We might translate Shih-mun by "Stony-gate." It seems to have been one of the frontier passes between Ts'e and Loo. [42. ]The judgment of a retired worthy on Confucius' course, and remark of Confucius thereon. [43. ]How government was carried on during the three years of silent mourning by the emperor. See the Shoo-king. IV. viii. 1, but the passage there is not exactly as in the text. It is there said that Kaou-tsung, after the three years' mourning, still did not speak. Kaou-tsung was the honorary epithet of the Emperor Woo-ting, bc 1323—1263—Tsze-chang was perplexed to know how government could be carried on during so long a period of silence. [44. ]How a love of the rules of propriety in rulers facilitates government. [45. ]Reverent self-cultivation the distinguishing characteristic of the Keun-tsze. "All the people" is literally, "the hundred surnames," which, as a designation for the mass of the people, occurs as early as in the first Book of the Shoo. It is = "the surnames of the hundred families," into which number the families of the people were perhaps divided at a very early time. The surnames of the Chinese now amount to several hundreds. A small work, made in the Sung dynasty, contains nearly 450. We find a ridiculous reason given for the surnames being a hundred, to the effect that the ancient sages gave a surname for each of the five notes of the scale in music, and of the five great relations of life and of the four seas; consequently, 5 × 5 × 4=100." It is to be observed, that in the Shoo-king, we find "a hundred surnames," interchanged with "ten thousand surnames," and it would seem needless, therefore, to seek to attach a definite explanation to the number. On the concluding remark,—see VI. xxviii. [46. ]Confucius' conduct to an unmannerly old man of his acquaintance. Yuen Jang was an old acquaintance of Confucius, but had adopted the principles of Laou-tsze, and gave himself extraordinary license in his behaviour.—See an instance in the Le-ke, II. Pt II. iii. 24. The address of Confucius might be translated in the second person, but it is perhaps better to keep to the third, leaving the application to be understood. [47. ]Confucius' employment of a forward youth. 1. There is a tradition that Confucius lived and taught in the village of K'eueh., but it is much disputed. The inquirer supposed that Confucius' employment of the lad was to distinguish him for the progress which he had made. 2. According to the rules of ceremony a youth must sit in the corner, the body of the room being reserved for full-grown men. See the Le-ke, II. Pt I. i. 17. In walking with an elder, a youth was required to keep a little behind him. See the Le-ke. III. v. 15. Confucius' employment of the lad, therefore, was to teach him the courtesies required by his years, as he would not dare to give himself his usual airs with the sage's visitors. |

I'll put together a real review in a few days (I hope). I wanted to note here that I have read 'nutty' used in reviews often, I may have even used it before. Honestly, I have never really known if it was nutty or not. Until today. My first thought when sipping was definitely nutty, then roasted/smoky, followed by creamy. I read the reviews and company description just now and seems I got this one right. Woot! Yes, it is good. Thanks Nuvola.
On a bummer note. My tea buddy and best work friend of 18 years was 'let go' at quitting time. No warning. He has two little children and now no income. I was called in to the office next and told to start looking. I still have a job at the moment. I'm 56, walk with a cane, and pack an oxygen tank. (Never felt like sharing that before) Not going to be easy finding something new.
