Yingli Green Energy And China National Nuclear Corporation Establish Joint Venture To Develop Distributed Generation Solar Projects
BAODING, China,
Jan. 7, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Yingli Green Energy Holding Company Limited (NYSE: YGE) ("Yingli Green Energy" or the "Company"), the largest vertically integrated photovoltaic ("PV") module manufacturer in the world, known as "
Yingli Solar", today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Yingli Energy (China) Company Limited ("
Yingli China"), has entered into an investment agreement for the establishment of a joint venture ("JV") with China Rich Energy Corporation Limited ("China Rich Energy"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of China National Nuclear Corporation ("CNNC"), to develop and construct distributed generation solar projects across China. As distributed generation systems, these projects will be located in close proximity to end-users of the electricity to be generated by such projects.
(Logo: http://www.prnasia.com/sa/2012/04/01/20120401160439160364.jpg )
Yingli China and China Rich Energy signed a framework agreement several months ago to outline their long-term, strategic cooperative relationship. The framework agreement contemplates establishment of the JV which will develop 500 MW distributed generation solar projects across China, 200 MW of which will be installed on sites to be provided by CNNC or its subsidiaries. Signing of the investment agreement indicates that the cooperation between Yingli Solar and China Rich Energy enters into the implementation stage.
"While CNNC remains committed to nuclear power development, we are increasing our activities in the renewable energy space, in order to expand our development space. The cooperation with Yingli Solar reflects our strategy and is in line with the strategic targets of the Chinese government to promote ecological civilization and sustainable development. We believe we will make a powerful combination and mutually beneficial cooperation by leveraging advantages of both companies," commented Mr. Hongchao Xu, Chairman of the JV and Deputy General Manager of China Rich Energy.
"We are delighted to establish the joint venture with CNNC," said Mr. Liansheng Miao, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Yingli Green Energy. "In light of policies recently adopted by the Chinese government, we expect distributed generation solar projects will embrace rapid growth in China in the near term. Yingli Solar not only has made remarkable achievements in the development of large-scale PV power plants, but will also actively engage in the development of distributed generation PV applications in line with the Chinese government's policies." About Yingli Green Energy Yingli Green Energy Holding Company Limited (NYSE: YGE), known as " Yingli Solar," is the world's largest photovoltaic module manufacturer in terms of production capacity and shipments. Yingli Green Energy's manufacturing covers the photovoltaic value chain from ingot casting and wafering through solar cell production and module assembly. Headquartered in Baoding, China, Yingli Green Energy has more than 20 regional subsidiaries and branch offices and has distributed more than 7,000 MW PV modules to customers worldwide.

Astronomical operations differ markedly from the proposed DOD experiments in the need for stellar guidance input. It is worth noting that although the ATD/NTOT's collecting area is several times larger than the HST 's, it has only about 1% of the available guidance field of view. Consequently, the ATD/NTOT must be able to produce a fine-error signal using very faint stars. The fine-guidance system as designed requires one guide star for controlling pitch and yaw and a second for stabilizing roll. The guidance analysis in the Lockheed/Itek briefing concluded that at 19th magnitude there is sufficient guide star availability and that the ATD/NTOT will achieve sufficient signal-to-noise to determine the centroid of a star's image to 0.003 arc sec, assuming a detector temperature of 260 K with a 10-Hz sampling rate. The reliability of the estimates of signal-to-noise for centroiding was not clear to the task group. More importantly, however, guide stars will be significantly less abundant than assumed, especially at higher galactic latitudes.
The source of the average stellar density data presented in the Lockheed/Itek briefing is not known to the task group, but the briefing assumed an average guide-star density of about 25 per square milliradian at a limiting magnitude of 19. The task group's calculations, based on the Bahcall-Soneira model (Figure 6.1), show that for latitudes greater than 40 degrees, the density falls below this number, even when looking toward the galactic center. The situation is considerably worse when looking away from the galactic center, with densities almost five times lower. The stellar density remains low over the entire hemisphere facing away from the center of our galaxy and rises by less than 50% in going from longitudes of 180 degrees to 90 degrees. Since the original estimate assumed success in finding guide stars only 80% of the time, it follows from Figure 6.1 that the success rate will be closer to 15% over most of the galaxy.

They may lose a fair few customers if they make it streaming only, I know many people who still have DVD/Blue-rays from lovefilm and don't use streaming even if it is in their package. I don't even have streaming in my package. I did have a tiral of their streaming a couple of years back, but i was not that impressed with it, certainly not a patch on netflix.
I am getting pretty close to closing lovefilm account anyway, i only keep it for documentaries,
As you said when they have a certain number who have made the swicth they will force it.
And they won't make it streaming only right now but physical rentals are falling and they are clearly getting ready for when its no longer financially viable. They have already started that with the removal of prepaid accounts which allows them to pull the service with a months notice and the price increase seems to have been an attempt to keep that part profitable for them for a bit longer as at this point there will still be people on prepaid accounts (mine runs out next month for example)
They are off, but they still send me stuff. Still at least they stopped sending me stuff though the post to try and get other people to join.
If they are all off you should only be getting items you are subscribed to. I believe there's somewhere to manage these in the account settings
kobo is not as large as Amazon and they don't seem to link Kobo with Play, which is a surprise I must admit.
Maybe not but with their revenue figures Ratuken aren't some minor company that your supporting.
ah well, I did not buy the five, I got one book.
Even the single books are the same. £4.91 on Kobo and £2.99 on Amazon. It actually seems none of the ePub stores are really willing to be competitive on price as the pricing is generally fairly standard across them and that consistently. Which is a shame as in many ways the trick people into buying the devices with their cheaper priced hardware and then gauge them on content. Its not like many of the ePub sellers don't have Amazons buying power so it seems more greed.
And again I've said all through the thread that the Kobo is a decent bit of hardware, if that was solely your argument for having one then that would be fine. I've only had an issue with your additional reasons you have put forward

Yi gets brainless late game. Just plain hitting when a rare spell cast sometimes own even 2-3 tanks at once :S The lineup this week is rather interesting. Udyr came back after people hating him for the 1 week that he was free for. Anyway, any news of new champions? Would love to see another soon I don't really understand why someone has to stick to 1 champion. I personally think going between champions is pretty cool. I used to think Taric was **** but decided to play him last week. Loved playing him and some other champions that I never used before. I support the small pool of champions, so certain champions would get played more Question: How are the champs rotated? Cos some champs seem to appear only a few times (Heim) and others appear much more (Yi and Nunu I guess).
Yi and Nunu are sorta "crowd friendly" champions. They probably rotate in well liked/ played champions more, and leave the weirder/ more borderline champions (Heimerdinger, which nobody really want to see in game anyway :] and the like) in less.
No Scope
Anna for week 7 or earlier will be great!

Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:more than 1 month
Pros:I received these in the post without a scratch. I got all six strings, wrapped in a small bag (not individually). I put these onto my stratocaster a month or so after receiving. These are pretty inexpensive and cost about twice as much around here. Each string was in perfect condition.
These strings sounded a little duller than the ones I had on previous. If you play rock, this may not be a problem. For other styles, it could. They lasted me about 2-3 weeks each. These are the first nickel-wound strings I have used, so I do not know how long they should last.
These would be suitable for backup strings, in case of an emergency at a gig, or at home even. I might stock up on these soon. There are people saying these are fake, which they probably are, but that does not mean they're great value.
Good for some genres, or as backup strings in general. You will not be disappointed!

THE NEW JIM CROW, By Michelle Alexander, 261 pages, New Press, 2012
Racism will never die in the United States. Pace Martin Luther King.
Lifelong Democrats in one Ohio county will not vote for President Obama this fall because he is black.
When a black hockey player recently scored a goal in a Stanley Cup playoff that eliminated their beloved Bruins, Bostonians hurled racial epithets via social media.
But far more significant is the virulent racism of the U.S. prison system. It is an international scandal.
Author Alexander, an Ohio State University law professor, rightly calls it the "new racial caste system."
About 2.3 million Americans are behind bars, most of them blacks and Latinos. Most of them were jailed in the so-called drug war for the most trivial reasons.
Alexander confirms what The Nation has characterized as "America's homegrown gulag archipelago, a vast network of jails, prisons and supermax tombs for the living dead. It has metastasized into the largest detention system in the industrialized world."
One in three young African-Americans will serve time in prison because of "policies that effectively funnel youth of color from schools to jails," Alexander says.
But that is just the beginning of their woes. Once a felon, always a felon. Felons are forever branded with the "mark of Cain."
Felons find it hard to get jobs. They are denied federal housing. Felons usually can't vote. They are excluded from juries. Felons are denied food stamps. They are hounded by parole officers.
Felons are fifth-class citizens, living under a legal apartheid with shattered lives.
The book vividly portrays America for what it is: a grossly unjust society. The author has facts and figures to back up her horror story.
U.S. jails are swollen with people who don't belong there. They were jailed for possessing a pinch or two of marijuana, the mildest of drugs and less harmful than cigarettes.
The American prison system is terribly punitive.
"A life sentence for a first-time drug offense is unheard of in the rest of the developed world," Alexander writes. "A conviction for selling a kilogram (2.2 pounds) of heroin yields a mandatory 10-year sentence in U.S. federal court compared with six months in prison in England."
Sentencing disparity is huge. Sale of 500 grams of powder cocaine, favored by whites, gets a five-year sentence. Sale of just five grams of crack cocaine, favored by blacks, gets five years.
Prisoners face a dilemma in the plea. Even the innocent often plead guilty because jail is "only" three years. If convicted, prisoners risk five to 20 years behind bars.
The press boosted the absurd drug war.
In 1986 Time called crack cocaine "the issue of the year." Newsweek declared crack the biggest story since Vietnam and Watergate. From October 1988 to October 1989 the Washington Post ran 1,565 stories about the "drug scourge."
The Supreme Court upholds the injustice, repeatedly sustaining the built-in racism of the criminal justice system.
"It has seized every opportunity to facilitate the drug war by eviscerating Fourth Amendment protections against unreasonable search and seizures," Alexander writes.
In the 1987 McCleskey case, the court declared that a criminal justice system that treats blacks worse than whites is inevitable, that the Constitution is violated only by individual discrimination.
The court refuses to grant relief to blacks being stopped because they are black, searched, arrested, held on bail, charged with crimes, convicted and sent to prison.
Obama abets the bogus war on drugs. He laments the "AWOL fathers" but never says the majority of young black men in large urban areas are under the control of the criminal justice system.
Alexander concludes: "Hundreds of thousands of black men are unable to be fathers, not because of a lack of commitment or desire, but because they are warehoused in prisons."
Racist laws play a tremendous role in politics. Alexander notes that if 600,000 former prisoners had been allowed to vote in Florida Al Gore would have easily won the presidency in 2000.
The reason for harsh drug laws is simple. They were enacted by politicians--and will not be repealed by politicians--because a tough-on-crime stance wins elections.
The prison system makes it plain that while overt racism is barred covert bias is rampant.
The solution? Portugal's. It decriminalized all drugs in 2001, spending the money "putting drug users in cages" into treatment and prevention.
A Cato Institute study by Glenn Greenwald called decriminalization "a resounding success, a guide for drug policy debates around the world."
Unfortunately, this sensible solution will never be adopted in benighted America.

Expense Ratio: 0.06% Load: 0.00% Rated "C-" by TheStreet Ratings:How We Rate Funds
TheStreet Ratings condenses the available fund performance and risk data, including penalties for load charges, into a single composite opinion of each fund's risk-adjusted performance. This allows the unbiased identification of those funds that have historically done well and those that have underperformed the market. While there is no guarantee of future performance, these investment ratings provide a solid framework for making informed, timely investment decisions. In order to qualify for a rating, an open-end fund must either have three years of risk and return data or be an additional share class of an existing fund with at least three years of performance statistics.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

I don't see the Reds getting anything of value in return, and they don't have a replacement. The only way that would happen would be as one move among many. I almost wonder if the Toronto writer needed another name for his article, looked down on the field, and came up with one.
Anyone else giggle at the title like an immature junior high kid?
Surprised that he's got a suitor, though.

I actually has no idea who the BJ's could be interest in named Santiago that played for the Reds. I figured it out but it took more than a minute.
Considering the Jays have started 7 guys at 2B already, and change them regularly during games - is it any wonder they might consider a veteran gloveman like Santiago? You might even get a B grade propsect - likely the only team that would give you anything of real value for Ramon...

Ge-gnomes by Charlie Finch |
The mechanical mapping of the human genome by a private company has been transmitted to the general public as a series of colors resembling Ellsworth Kelly's famous color studies at the Metropolitan Museum.
NASA adds a cadmium orange wash to its satellite photos of purported water erosion on the surface of Mars. Every day, in exponentially increasing momentum, Scienceworld seeks to concretize its discoveries to a dumbed-down public through the medium of abstraction. The esthetic function of popular science turns one's view of contemporary art on its head: suddenly the formal represents the real scientifically, whilst the representational is a chimera. Science's march to control the very small gives us, the living, a sense that we exist in a kind of prehistory to a Frankenstein future -- which most of us won't be around to experience anyway. But while we are here, a brave new perspective impregnates the art around us: The buffed and waxed mutants in an Inka Essenhigh painting threaten us with their indeterminacy. The bodacious babes of John Currin speak of chemical attraction, the mechanical lust of the honeybee and all the molecules bubbling underneath. The sequences of cybertext pulminating through Kiki Seror's diode screens emanate from letters in our very chromosomes! Among other things, scientists are crosshatching spider genes into goats to create "real synthetic wool," and of course, "harvesting" organs and cloning pies, cows, sheep -- folks, there's nothing grotesque about Dinos and Jake Chapman; they're just showing us future reality, and the future is now. Tired old farts like Michael Kimmelman, Peter Schjeldahl and Mark Stevens continually lament that there's not enough interesting art around at the moment to stir their diminishing mojos. Au contraire, fellas, June is bustin' out all over. Tom Friedman, Karin Sander, Roxy Paine and Charles Ledray have all applied painstaking scientific methodology to challenging, elaborate pieces that are technical and philosophical equals to any art of any time. Tony Oursler and Pipilotti Rist bravely anticipate what our world will look like 10 or 20 years hence: life in a movie theater lived on a screen. Comparatively, a self-portrait of Mapplethorpe jerking off or Cindy Sherman mugging for Hollywood are poignant shards of nostalgia for the fragile human past. Distinctions of body, gender and sex disappear when science is all. The artists of the third millennium have the daunting task of creating souls for these new machines. So far, they are more than up to it. CHARLIE FINCH is coauthor of Most Art Sucks: Five Years of Coagula. |

Product Details
SummaryBefore the release of his seminal, socially-conscious, 1972 soul album, Hang On In There, a young Mike James Kirkland released a number of singles as Mike and The Censations. Despite being offered a record deal by Curtis Mayfield, eventually making a deal with MCA, and selling in excess of 50,000+ singles, Mike and the Censations never released an album and never fully realized their potential. Here for the first time are all of his early-releases, along with some unreleased gems discovered on tapes as this project was being researched. Pigeon-holed as a doo-wop group by one of their early labels, Mike and The Censations fought to battle that image. In doing so they made a unique blend of soul, funk, and even jazz-influenced tunes, occasionally sneaking in an up-tempo number on a B-side. Their doo-wop tunes were pretty damn amazing too, dripping in soul and becoming big favorites of the low-rider scene. |

Gary Allanâ¨Tour Stop: Yamaha and NEXO All the Way
LANCASTER, Penn.âThe place was the American Music Venue in Lancaster, PA. on a late day in March. Country artist Gary Allanâ¨performed in support of his latest CD âSet You Freeâ. Bauder Audio (Horsham, PA) provided a NEXO GEO S12 line array for the date with support from Tom Hogle, Bauder systems engineer and Sean Gary, A2 for Gary Allan. 24 NEXO GEO S12s over eight RS18 Ray Subs were all powered and processed with NXAMP4X4 amplifiers.
"Besides the fact that the GEO S12 sounds great, it is easy to set up which makes for a quick load in,â states Hogle. âNEXO continues to manufacturer studio monitors for large venues!" remarked Chris âSullyâ Sullivan after mixing front of house for the show.
Tucked behind the NEXO arrays, Jason Spence specified a Yamaha PM5000 console for the entire Gary Allan tour, provided by Sound Image of Nashville. "We had options and, in fact, listened to other consoles, notes Spence. However, after listening to the 5K, Gary and the band chose to go analog. The production requirements did not necessitate a digital mixer so we went with the PM5000."
For more information on the NEXO GEO S12 and Yamaha consoles, visit www.yamahaca.com.

PAINT CREEK, TEXAS. Paint Creek is on Farm Road 600 seven miles southeast of Haskell in the southeastern corner of Haskell County. It was formed as a result of the consolidation of five school districts-Post, Howard, Weaver, Rose, and McConnell. Wayne Perry suggested in 1937 that the new school district be named after Paint Creek, a local stream. The first action of the school board was to sell bonds in order to purchase two six-acre pieces of land. Construction of the school began in 1937 and was completed in the summer of 1938. Ten faculty members were hired, and the first day of class was September 5, 1938. The school became an accredited institution during the first year of operation. Fourteen individuals composed the first Paint Creek graduation class. The school obtained electricity from a gasoline-fired electrical generator. The Rural Electrification Association began supplying electricity in 1939. The water supply came from a well on the northeast corner of the campus. During the 1941–42 school term a fire destroyed the original homemaking and agricultural building. In 1945 the relocated homemaking building was again destroyed by fire, and the new agriculture building was destroyed by fire in 1953. One additional fire in 1967 destroyed the classrooms on the west end of the building. Between 1938 and 1941 five additional small school districts-Plainview, Ward, Rockdale, Ericksdale, and Cobb-entered the Paint Creek district. The community also had a church and five to ten houses. The mail was delivered through Haskell. In the late 1980s Paint Creek had the school, two churches, several houses, a football field, and a covered barn in which the school buses were parked.

LONG-SERVING partner Peter Townsend has retired from major Midlands firm Duncan & Toplis.
Townsend, who served for eight years as managing partner and most recently as chairman of the Top 50 firm, will continue in his MD role of sister company Castlegate Financial Management.
Further reading
He joined the firm's Grantham office straight from school in 1967, qualifying as a chartered accountant in 1972.
"When I began my career the practice only had around 30 employees, so it's approximately ten times bigger now and ranks number 36 in the league table of firms.
During his tenure as managing partner the firm built new offices in Lincoln, Spalding and Boston and acquired practices in Spalding, Louth and Melton Mowbray
"People think accountancy is all about numbers but it's also about dealing with people. Over the years I've very much enjoyed working with the clients, building up good relationships with them and helping them succeed in their businesses."
He intends to spend more time enjoying gardening, squash, tennis, art galleries, music and architecture as well as more time with his wife Judith, who he says has been a great support since they married nearly 40 years ago.

These words of comfort range from inspirational quotations to practical tips for healing and moving forward. If your heart is broken, they'll help you heal and move on.
We need daily words of comfort, which is why books like Words of Comfort: 365 Devotions to Inspire Your Day by Freeman-Smith LLC are perfect. Even when life is good, it's helpful to start the day with an inspiring message and connection with something Greater than ourselves.
I gathered these tips and comforting words at the request of a reader: "We were together for over 4 years," writes M. on Surviving a Breakup – 10 Tips for When Your Relationship Ends. "I really thought we'd get married soon. Instead, he told me that he doesn't feel love for me anymore, and that he wants to date other people. How can I get past this? I'd appreciate any words of encouragement that anyone could offer."
One of my favorite ways to comfort myself when I'm sad, heartbroken, or depressed is to watch comforting movies. I love "About a Boy" with Hugh Grant because it's so real. There's a lot of pain, and a lot of love, connection, and hope in that movie — just like life!
Words of Comfort When Your Heart is Broken
Different types of comfort help different people. I love the spiritual words below because I believe in a God who looks out for me, loves me, and wants the best for me. Other people might find music more comforting (such as the best songs for broken hearts), or their pets, or painting a picture, or even food.
The best way to find encouragement is to try different things until you find what works for you…
Spiritual Words of Comfort
"God never promised that life would be easy, or that life would be free from pain, but He has promised that He will always be there when you need Him. He longs to cradle your brow…He wants you to tell Him just how you feel. It does not matter how bad you might have been, or for how long you might have ignored Him. Right now, speak to your heavenly Father, tell Him how much it hurts, unburden your sad heart to Him, and you will surely feel His love filling the aching void that has been left in your life." ~ from Heartbroken? on You've Got Friends Who Care.
Comforting Quotations When Your Heart is Broken
"When love is lost, do not bow your head in sadness; instead keep your head up high and gaze into heaven for that is where your broken heart has been sent to heal." ~ Author Unknown.
"When one door closes, another opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us." ~ Alexander Graham Bell.
"It has been said that time heals all wounds. The truth is that time does not heal anything. It merely passes. it is what we do during the passing of time that helps or hinders the healing process." ~ Jay Marshall.
"One tear met another tear floating down the river. Said the first tear, 'I'm the tear of the woman who lost her lover.' The second tear said, 'I'm the tear of the woman who found him.'" ~ Anonymous.
Comfort Food for a Broken Heart
Let's deviate from words of comfort for a moment, and savor how nourishing comfort food can be when your heart is broken…
"[When my dog died], a good friend came over with some cheap but delicious Mexican food from La Fresita. She brought a Cuban sandwich and a green chili burrito….the Cuban sandwich was stuffed with thinly sliced pork, onions, tomatoes, grated lettuce, and some secret sauce. And the green chili burrito was also stuffed with a more meatier pork and spicy chili verde. I ate ravenously. We washed it all down with about two-thirds of a bottle of Charles Shaw (or three-buck Chuck) zinfandel. With a full stomach and slight buzz, I felt whole again. My dear sweet Painter boy who always savored every bite would have totally approved of my comfort food fest. Feeding the hungry heart was just what I needed." ~ Comfort Food for a Broken Heart by Karyn Zoldan.
One last word of comfort when your heart is broken…
Sometimes what seems like the worst thing ever – the most heartbreaking loss you've experienced – can be the best thing for you, even if you can't see it.
For instance, my husband and I can't have kids. We're coping with infertility. What comforts me is the thought that maybe our lives are better without kids. As much as I'd love to have a baby, I'm also accepting and embracing the idea of life without children.
If you're struggling to let go of the past, you may find How to Let Go of Someone You Love helpful.
Why is your heart broken? What words of comfort do you find encouraging or comforting?
8 Responses to "Words of Comfort When Your Heart is Broken"
I am married but caught my husband cheating he broke my heart so I break it off.
I'm so very heart broken…I let my emotions get the best of me & made an irrational decision…I asked the love of my life to leave our home…we had been having issues in our relationship, I regret that we couldn't work things out before separating…I love him so, he is my one & only true love…I hope & pray that we can get past these hurdles & restore our love & relationship…I miss & love him so, I can't get his voice out of my head, his face, his touch…I love him so, I need him to come back to me & mend my broken heart
You're more than your past failures and mistakes. You're more than what you've been demonstrating up to this point in your life. Don't let your screw ups define you. Instead, let your potential guide you toward becoming the person you want to be. – unknown, emailed to me by a friend.
I'm sorry that your hearts are broken, and hope you found comfort here! Sometimes the best thing to do is write down how you feel. Expressing yourself can bring comfort – and so can knowing you're not alone.
I met dis guy at a weddin reception,we started datin nd d first month of our relationship was so wonderful,i loved him so much nd he loved me too or i tot he did,until his girlfriend from God knows where showed up on his birthday nd treatened my lyf,after sum tym he asked for my forgiveness nd promised to send d girl away,i'm confused,i don't know wat to believe,i'm torn into two.
I ruined the best thing that ever happened to me. I hurt the one who I love the most in my life by cheating. And he's left me now and I regret cheating on him so much. It was only once, but that was enough to ruin everything between us. And now I'm left heatbroken with also the burden that it was all my fault that I feel this way. I shouldn't be allowed to complain about how hurt I am because truthfully I broke my own heart by cheating. I love him dearly and can only hope that one day we may meet again and it will all be forgotten. I have truly learnt my lesson, and hate myself so much for ever betraying the one person in my life who meant the most to me.
I'm fully heartbroken as the best of my relationship is over, the man i loved dearly and adored just came to me two days ago and told me that he has made his decision and he chose to be with the other woman and not me as he feels its best for me and he had made a promise to his late father that he will marry the woman so he needs to keep that promise.I feel empty, betrayed and unsure if iI'll ever conquer the pain.
i am married and fell in love with another woman. Me and the woman broke it off and i won't go back but right now my heart is broken.

La Victoria Bakery Company
On a warm summer Mexican day in 1940, after having sold his fair share of shoes, medicines, kitchen utensils, and pan dulce, Gabriel Maldonado (age 20) had a brief thought. The United States doesn't sound so bad, and the Bracero Program was still being offered. It was a hard choice to leave behind a tradition of over 100 years of baking for the hopeful fruits of the United States. Fortunately for him, San Francisco was his final destination, and in 1951, Don Gabriel Maldonado opened a little bakery at 2951 24th Street named La Victoria Bakery. At the time it was mostly an Italian and Irish working-class neighborhood in the Inner Mission near St. Peter's Church. He eyed the location across the street, home of Murphy's Drug Store, as a better location as it was directly next to the church and on the sunnier side of the street. In 1955, he moved across the street and never looked back. Now, in the capable hands of Jaime Maldonado and pastry chef Luis Villavelazques, La Victoria continues to thrive.

Not that you'll notice it's a television production. Made with the scope and scale of a major movie, Game Of Thrones look and feels dramatic in scale. Its story certainly is. Centered around the battle for power in days of old, there's conflict, despair, romance, lust, backstabbing and no shortage of ice, both real and metaphorical. It demands your concentration, but remains accessible. It's also a strictly adults-only adventure.
As befitting a series of such magnitude, they've clearly gone to town on the Blu-ray set. As well as revealing plenty of detail as to the production itself, with making of material and episode guides, there are some brilliant, less obvious features. The Blu-ray exclusively features, for example, an excellent guide to the world of Westeros, who everyone is, the backstory, and the noble houses. You can comfortably lose hours in it.
There's simply so much depth in the set. Even the commentaries, often quite bland affairs, offer real insight and interest. That it's wrapped up with a brilliant 1080p transfer, and speaker-shaking audio, is fitting. An excellent, ambitious piece of television, in a Blu-ray set that befits it perfectly. --Jon Foster
--This text refers to the Blu-ray edition.
