Clos du Bois is Californias leading producer of barrel fermented Chardonnay. This is a medium-bodied wine, with ripe pear, citrus and creamy vanilla flavors. Partial malolactic fermentation adds a rich texture and buttery component on the palate, while aging surlie lends complexity and depth.
When Clos du Bois was founded in 1974, Sonoma County was better known for its prunes, walnuts and dairy farms than for its wine grapes.

In her YumSugar Community group, The Dairy Free Diva Recipe Exchange, reader girlA discusses all things vegan. Here, she provides a wonderfully in-depth review of Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Pizza Crust.
I've been wanting to try gluten-free pizza crust for quite some time now. I'd like to reduce to the amount of gluten I eat, so I was anxious to try this mix from Bob's Red Mill. The mix requires water, oil and eggs. However, it suggests using 2 tablespoons of flaxseed meal and water as an egg replacement. I used Ener-G Egg Replacer. The package also comes with a yeast packet. The crust makes 2 12″ pizzas, or one 26″ pizza. Since The Husband is in San Francisco for work, the Sixth Grader and me decided to make a couple of pizzas tonight.

Office Depot agreed to buy OfficeMax in an all-stock deal that values the rival office-supplies retailer at roughly $1.19 billion. But there was one hiccup along the way, as David Benoit reports on Markets Hub. Photo: AP.
For a merger that the market has long envisioned, the combination of Office Depot Inc. ODP -1.89% Office Depot Inc. U.S.: NYSE $5.19 -0.10 -1.89% Dec. 12, 2013 4:00 pm Volume (Delayed 15m) : 5.65M AFTER HOURS $5.19 0.00 0.00% Dec. 12, 2013 5:39 pm Volume (Delayed 15m): 303,485 P/E Ratio 76.89 Market Cap $2.80 Billion Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee $273,134 12/10/13 Office Depot Chooses Florida C... 12/09/13 Retailers Turn Store Clerks In... 12/03/13 CFO Moves: Office Depot, Coty,... More quote details and news » and OfficeMax Inc. nevertheless came sooner than either planned.
Unveiled accidentally Wednesday morning in a premature Office Depot earnings report, the merger of the office-supply retailers is seen as overdue industry consolidation. But confusion reigned for more than two hours, after the Office Depot website quickly yanked the announcement without explanation.
By midmorning the all-stock deal was official—again—valuing OfficeMax at roughly $1.19 billion and creating a retailer with $18 billion in annual sales. The companies called the agreement a "merger of equals," but shares of both companies slumped before long, as excitement about the potential benefits was tempered by a lack of basic details, including who would lead the new company, where it would be based and what it would be called.
Shares of Office Depot closed down 16.7% at $4.18, while OfficeMax shares fell 7% to $12.09. The selloff followed increases of 9.4% and 21%, respectively, in their share prices on Tuesday, after The Wall Street Journal reported on Monday that the two were in advanced talks to merge.
Under the companies' definitive agreement, Office Depot will issue 2.69 new shares valuing OfficeMax at $13.50 a share based on Tuesday's close for each OfficeMax share outstanding. The stock-swap value is a 3.8% premium to Tuesday's close of $13.

On Wednesday afternoon, Office Depot Chairman and CEO Neil Austrian blamed the announcement snafu on Thomson Reuters Corp. TRI.T +0.15% Thomson Reuters Corp.

Thomson Reuters acknowledged it incorrectly posted the merger announcement, adding: "We regret this error and are taking all steps necessary to enhance our processes and controls to ensure this does not happen again."

The attraction is the opportunity to bulk up and do more business on the Web, as well as to cut costs in their overlapping store footprints. The companies estimated they eventually would save $400 million to $600 million a year as a result of the merger.
OfficeMax Chief Executive Ravi Saligram said he looked at what happened to book retailer Borders Group and electronics chain Circuit City—both of which liquidated in bankruptcy—and knew his employer had to change.
"This is not about incremental progress," said the 56-year-old Mr. Saligram.
Analysts have said for years the two retailers should merge, but the companies didn't engage seriously until last fall, people familiar with the discussions said. OfficeMax called the deal Project Frisco, dubbing itself Maple and Office Depot, Dogwood, Mr. Saligram said.
That the companies would merge as equals was decided relatively early in the process. Bigger sticking points were who would manage the company.
Unable to agree on a CEO, the companies agreed early on to hold a search, people familiar with those discussions said. The companies said members of their boards will form a selection committee to pick a CEO. The panel will consider Messrs. Austrian and Saligram, as well as outside candidates. They are expected to make their choice before the deal closes, Mr. Saligram said.
Mr. Saligram, nearly 20 years younger than Mr. Austrian, who turns 73 on Thursday, is seen by analysts as most likely to emerge as chief of the combined company.
It is unusual in a merger deal to leave such issues undecided. BB&T BBT +1.96% BB&T Corp.

More quote details and news » Capital Markets analyst Anthony Chukumba said integration of the two is hard to conceive, especially without knowing who will be leading the company.
The companies said it made sense to leave that sort of detail unresolved until regulators bless the deal.
Both companies' boards voted to approve the deal Tuesday night, Mr. Saligram said. The plan was to announce the deal and each company's earnings in news releases early Wednesday. But an unexpected issue held up the final handshake.
Talks snagged overnight, largely over differences over the stake BC Partners, a private-equity firm with large holdings in Office Depot's preferred stock, would hold in the combined company. OfficeMax had concerns and wanted to ensure a clean exit for the firm, people familiar with the matter said.
"We wanted certainty," Mr. Saligram said. "We are very satisfied with the terms of the agreement.''
In the end, BC agreed to a plan to convert some of its preferred stock to common shares that would leave it with a 5% stake in the new company.
With the negotiations prolonged, the joint release on the deal didn't go out at the intended time. Thomson Reuters, however, went ahead and posted Office Depot's earnings on the company's website around 7:20 a.m., and it remained online briefly before being taken down. By then, major news outlets had published news of the deal.
The formal news releases ultimately followed. Both companies said they posted losses in the fourth quarter on declining revenue.

Howard LeWine, M.D., is chief editor of Internet Publishing, Harvard Health Publications. He is a clinical instructor of medicine at Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women's Hospital. Dr. LeWine has been a primary care internist and teacher of internal medicine since 1978.
Celiac disease is an autoimmune disease. The immune system attacks the small intestine. It's triggered by gluten, a protein found in barley, rye and wheat. Oats may also be a problem. But only if small amounts of the other grains get mixed with them during milling or at some other time.
Celiac disease can lead to thin bones (osteopenia or osteoporosis). Here's how. The immune system attack on the small intestine injures the inner lining. The result is that many important nutrients, including vitamin D, don't absorb as well. This can lead to vitamin D deficiency. You need adequate vitamin D to maintain healthy bones.
Thin bones are more common in women. But it's an important problem for men, too. In fact, a 60-year-old man has a one-in-four chance of developing a fracture from thin bones before he dies. That's true even if he doesn't have celiac disease.
You need to take a vitamin D supplement. Talk with your doctor about the right dose for you. Your diet should be loaded with calcium-rich foods. Also, look for drinks that are fortified with calcium, such as certain brands of orange juice.
Getting into an exercise routine that includes weight-bearing activity is a must. Jogging, walking, climbing stairs — anything that gets your bones and muscles working against gravity is weight-bearing activity.
If the combination of exercise and a vitamin D doesn't improve your bone density, then you may be a candidate for a prescription drug. There are several good ones to choose from. And they work as well in men as they do in women.
Whatever approach you and your doctor decide to take, I urge you to take action sooner rather than later. Taking a few pills and following an exercise program can go a long way toward protecting you from painful and disabling fractures.

Maybe I'm just really obtuse, but if it is there I am overlooking it.
Is there a way on the 1870 census at FamilySearch to search for John Smiths in a specific county?
Michael John Neill's Genealogy website. Things that cross my path, general research suggestions, and whatever else ...with a little bit of attitude. I don't post "news" just to post it, never post a press release (edited or otherwise), don't feign excitement, and pretty much say what I think.

Not only is there no way to search by county, but if you enter a county in the search box, you will not find the person you seek! I'm surprised at this. Most FamilySearch databases are really good, but this one is not very useful. You have to open each record to see which county you have found.

Thanks for posting. I have been frustated too at the real inability to perform even moderately sophisticated searches.

I would love to hear Counting Crows do a cover of "Walk Away" by Bree Sharp (or a duet with same). When I listen to walk away I can see Adam and Crows doing the song.
Thank you, bye

"Zena Kamara" appears to be using this site to perpetrate scams, specifically the "I'm an orphan with millions in a bank I can't access".
The GreyBird Foundation was established because we believe America is a dream in which the thoughts and needs of each and every person matter. Unfortunately, people feel small as the world expands and they forget that they ARE America.
So we find the people down the street from you who are trying to do their part to help and we try and help THEM. Get involved with the idea of being involved people. After all, it's your town, your country, your world, and no one will ever make as much of a difference as you can just by waking up and being a part of it.

Roger Eye Design is a Dutch brand that began in 2007 when founder Roger Hoppenbrouwers decided that after more than two decades of being in the business, it was time to form his own company. This brand features playful contemporary styles that range from simple and sophisticated to colorful and unique, and it provides a number of beautiful styles that are great for smaller faces - something that Hoppenbrouwers discovered to be lacking with the larger designers within the industry. Using the latest innovations in eyewear technology, Roger puts "simple shapes into an exciting frame," with many stunning designs that are put into his creative mind as a classic silhouette and come out as an inimitable accessory. He uses high-quality materials for his frames and is proud to be one of the top six eyewear designers out of the Netherlands.

Onion, distract yourself from that guilt by thinking about everything you have accomplished. Review the facts (what you've accomplished) and then tell yourself a different story.
Sounds to me like you should add some fun back in with those extra hours you have.
I dont think so, because I too work like you but I used to take a 5min rest during the works. So I think it is better to take a rest to enhance work capacity.

Surfing Morroco
GlobalSurfers surf atlas for surfing in Morroco, divided into different surfing regions. The spots in this atlas have been added by GlobalSurfers community members
Want to add your Morroco surf spot info ( or any other surfspot anywhere on the surfing globe) to the GlobalSurfers surfing atlas? Click here
Location: Northern Africa, bordering the North Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, between Algeria and Western Sahara
Coordinates: 32 00 N, 5 00 W
Coastline: 1,835 km
Language: Arabic (official), Berber dialects, French often the language of business, government, and diplomacy
Safety: Although there have been no recent terrorist attacks in Morocco, it is regarded as one of the countries where there is an increased threat from international terrorism and it is wise to be vigilant in places like hotels and restaurants. Violent crime is not a major problem, but there have been some incidents of theft at knifepoint in major cities and on beaches. Sensible precautions such as avoiding badly lit streets at night should be adhered to. Guides offering their services should display an official badge from the local tourist authorities. Visitors are advised to familiarise themselves with general safety procedures in the event of an earthquake as the country is prone to tremors, although usually minor ones.
Communications: The international access code for Morocco is +212. The outgoing code is 00 followed by the relevant country code (e.g. 0044 for the United Kingdom). Hotels can add a hefty surcharge to their telephone bills; it is best to check before making long international calls. Mobile GSM 900 networks cover the north of the country. Internet cafes are widely available in tourist areas.
Climate : Morocco has two climatic zones. (1.) a Mediterranean climate in the north and central areas that is characterized by warm wet winters and hot dry summers. (2.) A semiarid climate which is predominant in the pre-Sahara region. The wet seasons are from April to May and October to November with average annual precipitation varying from 254 mm (10 inches) to 100 mm (4 inches) depending on the region. During summer the intensely hot winds of the Sahara Desert known as the Sirocco or Chergui prevails. Average temperature ranges in Rabat are from 8 to 17 degrees Celsius (46 to 63 degrees Fahrenheit) in January to 18 to 28 degrees Celsius (64 to 82 degrees Fahrenheit) in August.

Two major Chinese telecom equipment makers Huawei and ZTE are set to face probe by European Union (E) scanner for benefiting from illegal government subsidies, according Financial Times.
The newspaper quoting EU officials and executives said that the member states have been informed that it is colleting evidence for an anti-dumping case against these companies.
They had obtained illegal government subsidies and sold products in the EU below cost, the newspaper said.
Once the EU determined that China was acting illegally, Huawei and ZTE, the world's No.2 and No.5 telecom equipment makers, could be subject to punitive EU tariffs, the FT said.
ZTE declined comment, while Huawei had no immediate comment.
Huawei and ZTE compete globally in the telecom equipment business with European vendors such as Ericsson, Alcatel-Lucent and Nokia Siemens.
Earlier in May, the EU's Trade Commissioner Karel De Gucht said the EU was planning new trade defences to counter subsidies and dumping by trading partners, such as China.
China is the European Union's second biggest trading partner after the United States and the bloc is China's biggest trade partner, with trade between the two forecast to hit a record high of 500 billion euros ($397 billion) this year.
But the relationship is tense. De Gucht has in the past complained that China subsidies "nearly everything", making it hard to compete.

Do you guys know how to do this? Do I have to have the address changed on my driver's license first.
And my REAL question: meanwhile, in the chaos of moving, if I don't get around to getting my driver's license changed for a bit, then wait for it to come in the mail, then turn around and go to get my CCW address changed, does that make my permit void or something crazy like that? I would not put it past them to look right past the fact that a change of address does not negate the fact that you still took the class and all that, as if a change of address all the sudden makes you irresponsible when it comes to guns. I'd hate to find myself behind bars because my permit didn't "count" at the moment. Thanks.

Although previous studies have indicated that children with same-sex parents show no significant differences compared with children in heterosexual homes when it comes to social development and adjustment, many of those investigations involved children who were born to women in heterosexual marriages, who later divorced and came out as lesbians.
For their new study, published on Monday in the journal Pediatrics, researchers focused on what they call planned lesbian families — households in which the mothers identified themselves as lesbian at the time of artificial insemination.
Data on such families are sparse, but they are important for establishing whether a child's environment in a home with same-sex parents would be any more or less nurturing than one with a heterosexual couple.
The authors found that children raised by lesbian mothers — whether the mother was partnered or single — scored very similarly to children raised by heterosexual parents on measures of development and social behavior. These findings were expected, the authors said; however, they were surprised to discover that children in lesbian homes scored higher than kids in straight families on some psychological measures of self-esteem and confidence, did better academically and were less likely to have behavioral problems, such as rule-breaking and aggression.
They simply expected to find no difference in psychological adjustment between adolescents reared in lesbian families and the normative sample of age-matched controls. They were surprised to find that on some measures we found higher levels of psychological competency and lower levels of behavioral problems. It wasn't something they anticipated.
In addition, children in same-sex-parent families whose mothers ended up separating did as well as children in lesbian families in which the moms stayed together.
Not surprisingly, the researchers found that 41% of children reported having endured some teasing, ostracism or discrimination related to their being raised by same-sex parents. But they could find no differences on psychological adjustment tests between the children and those in a group of matched controls. At age 10, children reporting discrimination did exhibit more signs of psychological stress than their peers, but by age 17, the feelings had dissipated. Obviously there are some factors that may include family support and changes in education about appreciation for diversity that may be helping young people to come to a better place despite these experiences.
It's not clear exactly why children of lesbian mothers tend to do better than those in heterosexual families on certain measures. But after studying gay and lesbian families for 24 years, the authors have some theories. The lesbian parents are very involved in their children's lives. And that is a great recipe for healthy outcomes for children. Being present, having good communication, being there in their schools, finding out what is going on in their schools and various aspects of the children's lives is very, very important.
Although active involvement isn't unique to lesbian households, same-sex mothers tend to make that kind of parenting more of a priority. Because their children are more likely to experience discrimination and stigmatization as a result of their family circumstances, these mothers can be more likely to broach complicated topics, such as sexuality and diversity and tolerance, with their children early on. Having such a foundation may help to give these children more confidence and maturity in dealing with social differences and prejudices as they get older.

Great for you skin - more shades!
by Kakes on 10/17/11 -
I find this is quite smooth upon application. I wish there were more shades as I fall inbetween two selections, but since it blends so well with the foundation its barely an issue....

Hi Joe. Check out his website www.cartercutlery.com. I first learned about him on one of the knife forums. He does an amazing job, but it can take several months for a custom order.
It all comes down to the right tools and ingredients. Discover great tips here.
Hi Joe. Check out his website www.cartercutlery.com. I first learned about him on one of the knife forums. He does an amazing job, but it can take several months for a custom order.
I read his knives, also on one of the forums, but when I saw the cost of a single chef's knife, I decided that if I ever went to culinary school and successfully completed my course studies, I would treat myself to one of his knives. I'm a really good cook, but never good enough to justify that. I soooo envy you, what a lucky duck (please do not be offended, it is said with a kind heart). I too checked out cartercutlery.com back then and it was a borderline orgasmic experience. I adored and hated it at the same time. Joe, do check it out, you'll have such fun. But then, I love cooking equipment stores and it's not like my kitchen even needs anything, as I don't like clutter. I do like purusing websites just to see if there is anything interesting out there.
Everybody has their favorite. It comes down to how comfortable it feels. Frankly, I don't have the budget to buy some of the fancy brands like Global. As a result, I've subscribed to the Anthony Bourdain minimalist philosophy. I just have a F. Dick offset knife, a Forschner boning and paring knife and a Henckels meat cleaver. I've survived just fine.
where to find what you want at bargin prices. As mamma said 'never pay retail' baby. I guess it's just an East Coast kind of thing. Resturants go out of business all the time, although you will never find the chef or sous chef part with their knives, but various sites have end-of-year sales where you can get the essentials, like a Chef's knife.
I have a Victorinox 10", 8", 5", boning, and pairing knife. I work in a restaurant and I am used to using that type of knife. I get most use out of my 8" knife.
It's not the most expensive (no more that $25 for the 10"), but they work well. I like the feel of it in my hand. Other, more expensive, knives I have tried had a smaller handle that just did not feel right for me.
They also stay sharp for quite a while. Sharpness also depends on how one treats his or her knife; smooth, steady, and controled motions--no banging.
It truly is a matter of preference. Not a matter of cost. I sort of live in two cities, New York and Montreal; my permanent residence and my significant other's residence. Thinking I would love an "upgrade" to my cutlery, the SO purchased Global knives for our kitchen, after it was completed. They don't fit in my hand properly, the grip is too large in front, small in back and tilts in a funny direction. I don't feel comfortable with the metal handle. I just love my Wusthof which I have been accumulating for 30-odd years. They feel like an extension of my hand and automatically accepts my brain commands with fluidity. But it did make me feel awful guilty after he did such a wonderful thing.
I have started freelancing as a chef and am flying from job to job. I have not carried my knives with me (in my check-in luggage) as I thought they could easily get knicked or I'd be tagged as a potential threat- a knife would certainly show up on a metal detector screen. Has anyone had any experience with travelling with knives? Am I being too cautious?
I would like suggestions from a left-handed person with a tiny hand as to what knives they personally tried and liked. I see the Ken Onion is ambidextrous and Shun has some left-handed (because of the D shape). I would like to inquire as to what other knife options would work. Would the right-handed bevel be a non-issue after a sharpening or are there other factors to consider? My palm is 3.2 inches across, like a kid really. Thanks!
I am a proud lefty! I find most chefs knives feel quite comfortable. I was happy when Shun came out with their left-handed knives. I thought how nice that someone is finally thinking about us lefties!
I bought a few of them and they are quite nice to use as they fit right in the palm of your hand. I think that the handle is a bit chunky maybe for you, if you say your hands are quite small.
I would suggest that maybe you check out the Wusthof 6" or 8" chef knife...or even the Kasumi 5.5" Utiility knife. We have both of these and they are both very good and not too big.
Hope this helps. Good luck!
This is sort of a hard one to answer as it really comes down to personal choice. Is a more expensive pair of runners better than a cheaper pair? Or is a cheap pair of golf clubs better than a more expensive pair...I guess it depends, do you gold often? Do you love to golf? Some golfers would say that it TOTALLY makes a difference.
As far as knives go, I would say that a more expensive knife (generally speaking of course) will not only last longer, it will also be constructed better; therefore the edge will stay sharper longer and it will just feel better in your hand.
But again, I guess this really comes down to personal preference. Myself, I would go for quality but then again I cook for a living and I really enjoying chopping and doing my mise en place :-)
Hope this helps!
cook for a living, but I can tell you this, when I cook at my Dad's house and am forced to use the incredibly old, dull, lousy knives, I literally get depressed. No joke. Like 40+ years old and no one but me says boo. Not only have I injured myself, but there are times I can't even find a proper knife for the application I am attempting. I long to come home (NYC or my second) to my wonderful, functional knives. All lined up in proper order on their magnetic holder; in their proper place, waiting for me to use them. If I need to section an orange, well, I have a paring knife. Slice bread, a serrated knife. A roast meat, a slicer. And so on....I mean really. I understand not all homes are so dysfunctional they lack proper knives, maybe it runs in my family? Or maybe I was switched at the hospital at birth? Or the doctor dropped me on my head? Or I'm adopted? Or just kooky? Take your choice.
Merci Dawn and Julie,
Actualy, I LOVE to cook (even if I don't find as much time I would love to explore this world, as I have to very young kids and I am a very busy mummy!...), and to work with quality stuff (starting with fresh organic food, to good pots and pans, etc) so I think that I might get at least one or two good knives, as it will surely be a more enjoyable experience. Though before that, I will probably by a wet stone to sharp my older knives to check out if they can be still usefull (and I will practice my sharpening lesson of your cooking school!). The last thing I was wondering : is it possible to sharpen a serrated knife (I don't know if it is the english name for a bread knife with a wavy blade?) Thank you for taking time to respond me.
p.s. I am a french speaker so I don't express my self very well in english... (a bit frustrating to write like a child :) !)
You may be able to take it somewhere to be sharpened but you will not be able to sharpen it yourself.
And just so you know Isabelle your English is very good and you do not sound like a child. I do know exactly what you mean though as this is how I feel when I speak French or Spanish, which has now been sometime :-) Cheers!
I do have a Chef's Choice Professional 3 Stage sharpener which does allow me to sharpen a serrated knife in a pinch. If I find that my bread knife is ever so dull, and I cannot send it off to Wustof for sharpening because it will take weeks since I need it, I will sharpen it and then send it off. Only in a real pinch.
What's most important I think is what YOU are comfortable with, and what fits in your hands comfortably. Try them in the store and get what feels good to you. If you can't decide get a cheapo in both sizes and use them for a while, see what you like.
I purchased an 8" about a year ago and I've grown to love it. At first I thought it was going to be much to big, but now I am more comfortable with it I am even thinking about a 10". We also have a smaller one that my wife uses a lot, and I really like using that one too for smaller ingredients.
I bought a Shun Kaji chef's knife as my first serious knife. I love it. It has the super-hard steel found in a lot of the asian style knives but with the shape of a European-style chef's knife. It's stayed incredibly sharp since I got it several months ago with no sharpening and almost no honing.
FYI, I believe that this line is exclusive to Williams Sonoma stores.
Several years ago, after much research, I purchased some Wusthof knives - 8" Chef, Slicer, Bread, Utility, Paring. They have all served me well and as I've maintained them with a steel they all still work like a dream.
I truly believe price is an good indication of quality. Henkel's has always been a good product, however, a major big-box store is selling a multi-piece Henkel's set for less than $100. These knives are made in Mexico. While I have nothing against products from Mexico and I have not tried these particular knives, I suspect they would not be up to the usual Wusthof and Henkel's German standards.
For storage, I prefer a magnet mounted an the wall right above my counter - right there when I need them and not taking up premium counter space as a block would do.
Finally, one of my favourite childhood memories is of the knife-sharpener, walking down our street ringing his bell. He had a 10" wet stone mounted on a trolley and operated with a foot peddle.
I've just recently signed up with Rouxbe and am thoroughly enjoying the experience.

An entire community came together to benefit Brett Jackson and his family.
LA PLATA, MO. -- An entire community came together to benefit Brett Jackson and his family.
Brett has been a lifelong resident of the La Plata community, and has suffered two massive strokes in the last year and is unable to work.
The La Plata and Kirksville communities teamed up for a benefit auction and dinner.
We spoke with the Jackson family pastor, and he tells us Brett, his wife and two children are all true servants.
"Well you could ask for a better people to pastor, they have a servant's heart, they're generous people and they love to see God get the glory in their lives for all the good that he does," said Jeremy Broach, Cornerstone Church pastor.
The benefit was a collaborative effort from individuals, companies and churches around the La Plata and Kirksville areas.
At last check the benefit collected close to $24,000 dollars just from the auction alone, not including food and regular donations.
Brett's mother says the family's hearts are breaking wide open for all the generosity of love and care they're receiving. Brett is doing exceptionally well contrary to what doctors have been predicting.
100-percent of the proceeds go directly to the Jackson family.

su yong peng and some korean actress is in it.. any thoughts about it? i find really nice and funny
hey!! tks!! sory.. didnt know it was a china production!! thank you very much!!
yes...the show is currently showing in Malaysia now...it's called The Mischieveous Princess'
it's very nice.
The Korean actress is Jang Na Ra.
i wan to know if she really can speak mandarin. i hope someone can help me.
hey..can anyone tell me the name of the actor who acts as 'Bai Yun Fei' in the movie??

yea...found a thread on this drama. Just finished watching it and it was so cool. Jang Nara is so cutee inside!!
does Jang Na Ra speak Chinese? but she was speaking Korean in the series though. It's so obvious that she's not speaking Chinese, I could lip read some Korean words.
not at all!
Jang Nara talk in korean when she have a reply to Alec ..
well all her reply was in KOREAN!!! and after the others actors reply in mandarin
after someone DUB her .....so ^^
if you want some clip when she talk into korean and the other actors speak in manarin ..just tell me ^^
seem Alec learn by her ...many ''bad word'' in korean lolllllllllll
cute cute ^=^
she only know some words ...ONLY some words ^^
im surprised there isn't more posts?
i guess this is an old series by now
ive only just managed to find english subs... so slowly watching it
its a cliche series... but i love it! esp alec su!
An absolutely shameless rip-off of Taiwan's 'Princess Huai Yu', with a plot so similar that I'm surprised that Princess Huai Yu production company hasn't sued, really outrageous costumes...although the male leads are much more eye candy and impressive actors than their counter-parts in Princess Huai Yu.
lol. which one is better though? i do like alec more, but ive watched a bit of huai yu and i think that its longer than this one?
and of course, we HAVE to take eye candy into consideration. so ill probably just watch this one but id like to know which has a better story line/actors, etc.
I think on the overall, Diao Man Gong Zhu is a better production, you know the typical bright beautiful costumes and lovely sceneries from Heng Dian and the decent acting by Alec and JNR in today's period dramas. But I feel I like Huai Yu Gong Zhu more, the story's more natural and the character of Huai Yu is also more natural too, as in she's born with the kind of character, you don't feel she's acting it out.
What I dislike about Huai Yu Gong Zhu is the typical Taiwanese shouting and loud crying scenes, otherwise pretty good and enjoyable. It was supposed to be a short series, but the ratings are so good that they keep adding episodes to it, from what i heard.
I think Nefertari has answered this very well. But then, it depends how much one balances 'eye candy' and the importance of the plot/acting. I just didn't find much substance to any of the acting Diao Man Gong Zhu. There is also a certain tension that needs to be built for - not necessarily all, but at least for some scenes - I didn't find this either. Honestly, I don't mind re-makes...I love all the Jin Yong ones. They just have to offer a fresh perspective and at least an attempt at emotional tension, subtlety, and/or layering.
I appreciate the beauty of costumes as according to the actual times - "bright and beautiful" has to be tempered with elegance and detail for me. The intracacies of embroidered material, the skill in ancient hairstyling, the sublime artwork and effort in jewelery...all these add up to express the artistic evolution of a culture and I believe it should be respected as such, especially when a production uses the era for its series.Originally Posted by Nefertari
Some of the material used for the costumes were definitely synthetic...something I'm sure they didn't have during imperial China.
Acting wise, I do have to say Alec was more impressive as an emperor than Sun Yao Fei. Interestingly, I love all other roles that Sun Yao Fei does, just not as Hong Hei in Princess Huai Yu. Hong Hei was one of the most able and politically savvy rulers of the Qing Dynasty...he was portrayed as weak/ineffectual in most of Princess Huai Yu (so I suppose it was more the script's fault rather than Sun Yao Fei's acting).
I agree. I like most of the costumes worn by Huai Yu surprisingly, since Taiwanese productions don't usually have beautiful costumes. Costumes in DMGZ are pretty, but they don't feel as if they belong to the era. The costumes worn by JNR and Chen Xiuli (emperor's spiteful cousin) are quite modern and look out of place. I like the way you described the different aspects of the production. Paying attention to details and respecting culture and tradition is also one of the important aspect to making a successful period production.
I think it's because Hong Hei's character was portrayed more as a romantic emperor. He wasn't brilliant in affairs of the state but he's not weak either. Alec was a stronger emperor, but somehow he's not as engaging or charismatic as supposed to be. Mischevious Princess is interesting to watch, but the romance is actually quite bland. It's not the kind of series where you feel compelled to watch every episode unless you're a Alec die-hard fan.Acting wise, I do have to say Alec was more impressive as an emperor than Sun Yao Fei. Interestingly, I love all other roles that Sun Yao Fei does, just not as Hong Hei in Princess Huai Yu. Hong Hei was one of the most able and politically savvy rulers of the Qing Dynasty...he was portrayed as weak/ineffectual in most of Princess Huai Yu (so I suppose it was more the script's fault rather than Sun Yao Fei's acting).
In which dynasty is the story set in? Ming, since the Emperor's surname is Zhu, or some fictional dynasty?
Is this series reasonably funny to watch?
I read the synopsis, and already I like the character Bai Yun Fei, sent on a quest of retribution.
I have this series at home, and I love it a lot. I've re-watch it like a thousand times.
I have a question, the guy that played as Jang Na Ra older brother, was that Cui Peng ???
I don't like the character Ba.ch Va^n Phi, he's too boring. My fav chars are Tie^?u Long Ha`, hoa`ng thu*o*.ng & co^ng chu'a, that girl wore mini-dress in an ancient series. I thought Florence Tan was so funny, but very pretty too.
I think JNR would be a fun candidate for the Zhao Min's role, if HSDS ever get remake and if Jin Yong would let a Korean actress plays in his series.

I see your concern but JPP seems to play his best at the RDE position. We need someone to play LDE across from him like Tuck does on a consistent basis so in theory, someone like Ansah would fit there better than say a Mingo or Damontre Moore (I know he's a top 10 selection but I'm just using an example).
2014 Giants Mock (Extra 3rd from Nicks FA comp)
1. Khalil Mack, DE/LB, Buffalo
2. Zach Martin, G/C, Notre Dame
3. Donte Moncrief, WR, Ole Miss
3. Louchiez Purifoy, CB, Florida
4. Dominique Easley, DT, Florida
5. Marcel Jensen, TE, Fresno State
6. Jeremy Hill, RB, LSU
Personally I think they need 2 Ends. A strongside end like Ansah and a speed rusher that plays on only passing downs or plays LB. A Mingo type player and Ansah. If the Giants picked Mingo he would probably play LB and Kiwi would play Strongside end. i think this line needs a complete overhaul.As far as im concerned we have 2 lineman JPP and Joesph

I dont see Moore as a top 10 pick. Im surprised how far he has moved . Last year when I brought him up on Twitter I was largely ignored everyone was talking about Porter, Moore was an afterthought. I said Moore was the better prospect and i got ridiculed for it. Same guys are Mocking him in the Top 5 now.
Speaking of Porter he could help out the Giants 2. He is a SOLB that was an edge rusher last season when they were in a 3-4 defense, Versatile player
