Are pizza kits sold at grocery stores in Pakistan? (self.pakistan)
submitted 1 year ago by kulfisahib
A kit, that includes the dough, sauce, cheese....I was told that most people in Pakistan dont have ovens but just stove tops. Are pizza kits already sold there? If not, whats the main reason for this?

New startup idea?
[–]kulfisahib[S] 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (1 child)
I have worked at a pizza place here in USA for a couple years and I am a fan of pizza itself. My wife and I do make pizza at home from scratch with the yeast and everything else. I have heard many stories that pizza is enjoyed very much in Pakistan but its more of a special treat type of thing when you go out to eat. I was thinking that there could be a kit sold at stores there, that was affordable and have different versions available that appealed to Pakistani taste as I am aware they like to put a spin on foreign foods (ie adding certain spices)
I dont know whats being sold there at the moment though and how common ovens are at home.
[–]salikabbasi 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
you can buy ready made dough in packets in like two sizes, large and medium/regular. sauce is expensive to buy if you want it ready made because its imported, but if there was a market for it, it'd be exploited readily i'm sure. local variety is largely Roma VP, so great sauce tomato to begin with. while most people have ovens, they're largely not really equipped to go up to 400* C or so you need to do the pizzas. you could do pan pizzas, but I'm guessing that's not what you have in mind.
most people aren't eating out because they want pizza in particular, they're just eating out because there's nothing else to do, but they still want to experience something for their money. so mexican food for example, which would seem like a very good fit here, doesn't do very well at all, because people don't see the difference between a burrito and a kabab roll. that said people here eat out often, so there's good money to be made.
[–]thegreenmenace 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
I'm not an expert, but I have made a lot of homemade pizzas. I can't speak about kits in Pakistan but I can speak to the idea in Chicago:Blasphemy! A pizza is a few very simple exercises: preparing the dough, making the sauce, rolling the pizza and adding the toppings before placing it on a preheated pizza stone to get the perfect crispy/bready crust. In either case, most Pakistanis will have their servants do the work so what is the point of a kit?
[–]TextofReason 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
I'm not sure where pizza kits are sold but the question is so poetic, it reminds me of "The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds" for some reason, and I hope you will consider making it into a play.
[–]maghyam -1 points0 points1 point 1 year ago (1 child)
You mean to say the frozen pizza O_o??
[–]kulfisahib[S] 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
not frozen pizza, but a pizza kit, where the ingredients are separate and have a more healthier aspect to it as it doesnt have the same amount of preservatives....also there is a cheaper price
[–]TobaTekSingh -1 points0 points1 point 1 year ago (2 children)
Everyone I know kneads dough by hand (or at least some limb). Dough for roti, naan, etc. Mixers/food processors exist that knead excellent dough, but I don't know anyone who uses them.
I. Don't. Know.
When you feel cocky and accomplished in life, you just remind yourself that you don't know why there are no dough machines in Pakistani households -- and bam, you know how Adam must have felt after fall from Heavens.
that would work in this scenario as the measured amount of flour would be included where the person would knead the dough themselves
[–]TobaTekSingh -1 points0 points1 point 1 year ago (0 children)
How about an unmeasured amount of flour? In 20kg bag?
[–]ryzvonusef -1 points0 points1 point 1 year ago (1 child)
Definitely not in Isloo/pindi, afaik.
This isn't the US, do you how friggin heard it is to get things like soyabeans?
You will have to do it yourself, and pray the yeast actually rises.
If not, whats the main reason for this?
Um, coz we are a third world country? How many people do you think make or eat pizza? How many have ovens? How many have electricity?
Besides, the sort of people who would be too darn lazy to make a pizza from scratch would have a servant for them to do so, so no need (and thus no market) for the pizza kit.
[–]maghyam 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (0 children)
I eat pizza everyday! Naah jsk too poor for that T_T

The Cleveland Browns and Barkevious Mingo came to terms and got a deal done. Mingo and the Browns came to terms on a 4 years deal that has an option for the fifth year. Mingo the big pass rusher from LSU who was the 6th over-all pick in the 2013 NFL draft can now get to work with Ray Horton's defensive unit.
With the Mingo signing the Browns have now signed all of their draft picks. Leon McFadden and seventh-round pick Armonty Bryant, who both signed four-year contracts on Friday with the Browns. It is good to see that the Browns worked overtime to secure all of their draft picks.
The team is going to need the time to focus on the transition to the 3-4 defense and if they can get everyone to work, the team should have time to make the switch smoothy. Horton wouldn't want it any other way.
The Browns made a lot of moves this off-season to bring in some defensive players that will give the team a lot of depth defensively this season. If Mingo can get up to NFL speed before the season starts he will make a huge impact for the Browns pass rush.
The guy is an explosive player who can bring the pressure to the opposing team's QB. One problem that Mingo may face if the size of NFL line-men. These guys are bigger than what Mingo is used to in college and his speed could help him to avoid being blocked.
It is going to be exciting to see just how good the Browns defense is going to be this season. With the Mingo deal done, they can now get to work.

D.O.D. Says No Purple Heart For Fort Hood Victims – Nidal Hasan Wasn't A Terrorist
In 2009, radical Islamist Nidal Hasan screamed "Allahu Akbar" as he murdered 13 of his fellow soldiers and wounded dozens more. Afterwards, the military's politically correct response almost defied belief. Rather than admitting that Nidal Hasan, who had exchanged more than 20 emails with Al-Qaeda recruiter Anwar al-Awlaki, was engaged in terrorism, the military labeled the attack "workplace violence."
Now, the government's at it again.
The Department of Defense is fighting tooth and nail against giving Purple Hearts to the survivors of Nidal Hasan's ambush because the DOD claims it would effectively mean that Hasan is being declared a terrorist.
A DOD position paper reads in part,
"Passage of this legislation could directly and indirectly influence potential court-martial panel members, witnesses, or the chain of command, all of whom exercise a critical role under the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). Defense counsel will argue that Major Hasan cannot receive a fair trial because a branch of government has indirectly declared that Major Hasan is a terrorist — that he is criminally culpable."
Neal Sher, who's the lawyer for Ford Hood families involved in a suit against the DOD had this to say in response,
"This is a cynical travesty. What the government has done by making this statement is guarantee that anything done to help the victims will effectively prevent or impair Hasan's prosecution. There was no reason for the government to put this kind of a statement in writing, even if it were true (which it is not)."
It's sad to see that even our own military, which is the tip of the spear in the fight against terrorism, is so bowed by political correctness that it doesn't want to honor the victims of terrorist attacks. Maybe the DOD should put the victims first instead of spending so much time trying to cater to the terrorist who attacked them.

Ahoy. The name is Mikom. I do 3D modeling, rendering and just general design. I'm a person who over past few years has taken a great interest in formulating ideas in 3D space. Ideas are my trade in many ways yet I also lean towards the practical. I have worked on several mods and game projects though modeling for games is not my first area of expertise. Here on ModDB/IndieDB I keep an eye on the Humor Satire Parody group, I follow the modding community and watch game productions that have peaked my interest. Feel free to go through my blogs or image gallery if you want to get a glimpse of what I do. As always, have a nice day!
No blog entries have been posted here. Boring yes, but as confucius says - if you have nothing good to say, why say anything at all? Check back later, perhaps something exciting will pop-up and be worth blogging about, like season 3 of the teletubbies.
Speak your mind, rant about games, mods and the development scene, it's simple and who knows maybe someone will read it and agree. It will feel right!
Many thanks!
Looking on your profile you look like you're on your way to become a pretty good modeler yourself =)

Drop Your Sugar Impact with JJ Virgin
in Health
If you feel like you're doing everything right but you are struggling with energy, cravings and just can't seem to lose the weight, hidden sugar may be the culprit. Sugar is the single biggest landmine when it comes to your health, but sugar hides in places you'd never expect: whole foods, diet foods, packaged foods, dressings . . . even sugar substitutes. And it's not enough to cut out or cut back on sugar—you have to cut out the right kinds of sugar. In this groundbreaking program, New York Times bestselling author JJ Virgin explains the powerful concept of Sugar Impact: how different sugars react differently in the body. High Sugar Impact foods cause inflammation, energy crashes, chronic illness, and weight gain. Low Sugar Impact foods heal your body, fuel your day with prolonged energy, and promote fat burning. This eye-opening program pinpoints the most damaging sugars we eat every day—without even realizing it—in common foods like skim milk, diet soda, whole-grain bread, and "healthy" sweeteners like agave. By swapping high Sugar Impact foods for low Sugar Impact foods for 2 weeks you will transform your body and your health for good. Best of all, you don't need to eliminate sugar completely or count calories. All sugar is not created equal. Simply drop your sugar impact and you will feel better fast!

According to Dr. Darold A. Treffert of the University of Wisconsin, there are fewer than one hundred reported cases of prodigious savants in the world. Those few who possess the savant syndrome all have an island of brilliance that allows them to excel in some remarkable talent. Unfortunately, they all share various developmental disabilities.
In Burlington, Vermont, 1962, seventeen-year-old Gavin Weaver survives a dreadful explosion, six hours of brain surgery, and thirty days in a coma, to awake possessing not just one savant talent, but several, including art, music, mathematics, and memory—and all without suffering any of the usual mental disabilities associated with head trauma.
To learn more about Gavin, his syndrome and the talents of a prodigious savant join me at four eastern, three centeral and two mountain. Ask your questions in the chat room.
The odds are slim that Gavin will survive both the internal and external conflicts, which keep him from the one thing he wants most, the girl he's loved since childhood.

New GI Bill transferability explained
With the Department of Veterans Affairs ready to begin accepting sign-ups for the Post-9/11 GI Bill, the Defense Department is working to get word out on its proposed policy regarding the bill's transferability provisions to help service members decide if the new benefit is right for them. Bob Clark, the Pentagon's assistant director for accessions policy, called the Post-9/11 GI Bill that took effect Aug. 1 an important new benefit.

Til Tuesday
Voices Carry
Voices Carry
I'm in the dark, I'd like to read his mind
but I'm frightened of the things I might find
Oh, there must be something he's thinking of
to tear him away
when I tell him that I'm falling in love
why does he say
hush hush
keep it down now
voices carry
I try so hard not to get upset
because I know all the trouble I'll get
oh, he tells me tears are something to hide
and something to fear
and I try so hard to keep it inside
so no one can hear
hush hush
keep it down now
voices carry
He wants me
but only part of the time
He wants me
if he can keep me in line
hush hush
keep it down now
voices carry
hush hush, darling, she might overhear
oh, no-voices carry
he said shut up he said shut up
oh God can't you keep it down
voices carry
I wish he would let me talk.

Long before the September 11 attacks on the United States, Osama bin Laden had made himself known as a terror threat. In 1996 he declared that Muslims should raise jihad against the west, and two years later he outlined his belief that killing "Jews and crusaders" was an "individual duty for every Muslim".
The fatwa stated: "All these crimes and sins committed by the Americans are a clear declaration of war on God, his messenger, and Muslims. And ulema have throughout Islamic history unanimously agreed that the jihad is an individual duty if the enemy destroys the Muslim countries.
"The ruling to kill the Americans and their allies - civilians and military - is an individual duty for every Muslim who can do it in any country in which it is possible to do it."
Published in London in the Arabic Newspaper al-Quds al-Arabi, this declaration of jihad – signed alongside his deputy Ayman al-Zawahiri under the auspices of the World Islamic Front for Jihad Against Jews and Crusaders – was no empty threat, as the world would learn that August.
Following the bombing of the US embassy bombings in East Africa in August 1998, which killed 224, the Saudi Arabian born al Qaeda leader was placed on the FBI's "Ten Most Wanted" list with a $5 million bounty on his head. The reward became $25 million after some 3,000 people were killed on September 11.
What the JC said: September 11 was certainly perceived at the time by millions of Muslims as a euphoric moment, a taste of triumphal joy at the conflagration which had exposed the impotence of Western civilisation. Almost overnight, Osama bin Laden became a hero among the Arab masses, in the wider Muslim world and across the far-flung Muslim diaspora. This maverick Saudi millionaire had inflicted upon the Americans their first major defeat since Vietnam. He symbolised the restoration of wounded Arab and Muslim pride.

Sage Patterson
"If we can discover the meaning in the trilling of a frog, perhaps we may understand why it is for us not merely noise but a song of poetry and emotion."
Adrian Forsyth
"It is a profound mistake to think that everything has been discovered; as well think the horizon the boundary of the world"
Antoine Merin Lemierre
"Every block of stone has a statue inside it and it is the task of the sculptor to discover it"
"If you have learned how to disagree without being disagreeable, then you have discovered the secrete of getting along -- whether it be business, family relations, or life itself."
Bernard Meltzer
"When the frustration of my helplessness seemed greatest, I discovered God's grace was more than sufficient. And after my imprisonment, I could look back and see how God used my powerlessness for His purpose. What He has chosen for my most significant witness was not my triumphs or victories, but my defeat."
Charles Caleb Colton
"The greatest obstacle to discovering the shape of the earth, the continents, and the oceans was not ignorance but the illusion of knowledge."
Daniel J. Boorstin

THE MOBIL FLAVIN OF 4-OH BENZOATE HYDROXYLASE: MOTION OF A PROSTHETIC GROUP REGULATES CATALYSISThe structure was published by Gatti, D.L., Palfey, B.A., Lah, M.S., et al., Massey, V., Ballou, D.P., and Ludwig, M.L., in 1994 in a paper entitled "The mobile flavin of 4-OH benzoate hydroxylase." (abstract). This crystal structure was determined using X-ray diffraction at a resolution of 2.0 Å and deposited in 1994. The experimental data on which the structure is based was not deposited. The PDB entry contains the structure of P-HYDROXYBENZOATE HYDROXYLASE. This molecule has the UniProt identifier P20586 (PHHY_PSEAE). The sample contained 394 residues which is 100% of the natural sequence. Out of 394 residues 394 were observed and are deposited in the PDB. It also contains one or more heterogenic compounds (e.g., ligands, co-factors, ions, modified amino acids, etc.); see here for a complete list. The molecule most likely forms homodimers. The following tables show cross-reference information to other databases (to obtain a list of all PDB entries sharing the same property or classification, click on the magnifying glass icon):

Those who believe in an open government — and we include ourselves in that group — may have been buoyed in recent weeks by the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act that Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) sponsored.
The goal of the bill is simple: shine the light on government contracts and contracting.
The legislation is an important step toward open government, and the way it made its way through Congress gives us hope. But the implementation of the bill leaves us skeptical.
The legislation's goal is something that seemingly nobody could oppose. But the future of the bill was thrown into limbo by a few lawmakers who put a secret hold on it.
In a sure sign that times have changed, people in the blogosphere took to their keyboards and tracked the lawmakers who were delaying the legislation. Sen. Ted Stevens (R-Alaska) acknowledged putting a hold on the bill, while Sen. Robert Byrd (D-W.Va.) was widely suspected as well. Once senators lifted the holds, the bill quickly moved through the legislature.
The goal of making information about government contracts and contracting transparent is a good one. We always favor more openness regarding how the government operates. But there are questions about how the government would actually create a searchable online database.
The Federal Procurement Data System is the closest thing available to a central database into which agencies feed their procurement data. Yet, by most accounts, FPDS data is not easily deciphered and is not always complete. The General Services Administration created the original FPDS but gave daily operational responsibility to a contractor in 2003 when FPDS-Next Generation debuted.
One of the problems with the system is that agencies have no clear business reason to spend the time, energy and effort to provide good contract data. As a component of GSA's Integrated Acquisition Environment, FPDS is part of the e-government initiative, but that isn't always convincing.
One imagines that greater visibility of data will motivate agencies, but there are also some good business and management reasons to want access to accurate and clean contract data. For example, is an agency overly reliant on a handful of vendors? Do agencies have a good mix of small, medium and large businesses?
For agencies in the business of selling to other agencies, such data is invaluable because it can provide insights about the market that will help them serve their customers.
We believe in open government, but it will take some leadership if this online contract database is going to be useful for agencies looking to manage their contracts effectively and for taxpayers looking to determine how the government spends their money. Otherwise, it will merely be shoveling garbage in to get the predictable garbage out.

I'm having an issue with this mod. The outside ground; dirt/grass becomes some sort of black concrete tiles when I have this installed.
What other mods do you have installed?
Bro,can you help me ?I renamed normal res textures to textures and copied the folder to gamedata and the .xr files too. When ingame,I don't see any difference,please help me.
P.S. : My gamedata folder was empty before.
From upclose the textures look better, but not from far away. And you do notice it in FPS stats, so benchmark your game with the normal ones and the lower res ones. You'll see the lower res ones improve your game with 25% or more (increase in 15 frames on my side)
Yeah but in the pics from here,it looks much better :(
Isn't there any solution ?
First step would be that you tell us what you exactly made. I made it like this (and it worked): First I dl'd the mod of course, then I copied all files IN the folder "PPx Build 1713" to the gamedata and then I renamed "Normal Res" to textures. Then I went ingame and looked up to the burned farm from the skadovsk in zaton. The bubble anomaly should be visible. Or if you're not in Zaton, then shoot with your weapon and you'll see the cartridge cases with a special smoke effect. Maybe your mistake was, that you moved the folder "PPx Build 1713" into gamedata instead of the files I mentioned.
Hope it works now!
If I want to use this with AF3 which mod do I install first (for best compatibility)? I noticed that when I installed build 1713 over the top of AF3 it replaced AF3's files with smaller ones which is a bit worrying.
I optimized the original particles a bit, hence the smaller size. Smaller size = better, because the engine isn't great at reading from these compressed libraries. :)
Ah nice, nothing to worry about then :) thx for the lovely mod
AAAWW yeah ive been waiting for this 1713 compatible with af3 thanks loner remember when i had the problem with 1639???
Could anyone help with install? Don't know where to put the files.
The installation is in each of the download pages, please open up the "read more" content box.
Yes I did see those instructions on the download page, but I don't seem to have a game data folder to extract the contents to. Any suggestions?
Create a folder called "gamedata" in your stalker dir, put the contents in that and it should work.

Odisha tribal community set to block Vedanta project
BHUBANESWAR, India/NEW DELHI
BHUBANESWAR, India/NEW DELHI (Reuters) - Vedanta Resources Plc's (VED.L) plans to mine bauxite to feed its alumina refinery in Odisha have suffered a blow after a majority of local residents voted against mining around the hills they consider sacred.
Failure to source bauxite from within the state might force the London-listed company to reconsider its 1-million-tonne-per-year plant, which has already been shut several times due to a shortage of the raw material.
The project has drawn the anger of rights groups internationally and highlights the difficult task India faces in balancing economic development with the need to cushion hundreds of millions of poor from the fallout.
Seven out of 12 villages whose opinion the Odisha government sought on the orders of the Supreme Court have rejected mining in the area, a top government official and witnesses said.
"The villagers have so far said no to the mining project," the official, who requested anonymity as he was not authorised to talk to the media, told Reuters on Monday.
The Supreme Court in April ordered the state to submit a report based on the views of the villagers to the federal environment and forest ministry within three months.
The ministry, which had earlier opposed the project, would make the final decision two months thereafter on whether Vedanta and partner Orissa Mining Corp Ltd (OMC) can go ahead with mining, the court had ruled.
"People sue-motto (on their own) came to the meeting and spoke against the project in their own tribal languages," said Siddharth Nayak of Green Kalahandi, an organisation protesting against mining in the area.
"The whole Niyamgiri hill is our god and we will protect it at any cost," Nayak said.
The remaining five villages are to share their views by August 19, the government official said.
"The environment ministry can reject the mining, taking into consideration the decision of even only one gram sabha (village council meeting)," he said.
A ministry official did not immediately comment.
Ajit Yadav, Vedanta's legal head, told Reuters the company could do little apart from waiting for the environment ministry to decide. He declined to comment on the fate of the project.
"Today's vote surely means the end of Vedanta's plans to mine the Niyamgiri hills," said Amnesty International's Ramesh Gopalakrishnan, who added that he was present at several of the meetings.
The Lanjigarh plant in Kalahandi district, about 450 km (280 miles) from state capital Bhubaneswar, has been struggling to source bauxite since its commissioning in August 2007.
The company recently restarted the plant after a shutdown of nearly seven months as it sourced bauxite from other states, but executives have said that cannot be sustained unless it acquires the raw material in Odisha.

I'll try tighter next time, but several posts in this thread suggest the problem is the lack of contact/bite into the prop with the backplate (which is not knurled). |

Here is one possible place to buy, I got mine off ebay. http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXBMY4 I tried a 2" Dubro plastic spinner, doesn't fit the way the backplate mounting is recessed, rubs the cowl; so avoid the Dubro. EDIT: to be clear, I only lost the PA spinner cone. The prop, backplate, prop adaptor on tight. |
Jun 22, 2012, 04:32 PM | |
The backplate is a precision piece of hardware that needs to remain balanced. I wouldn't want to hammer it and possibly bend it out of shape. This should be done at the factory.

Just watch out that you are not pushing the plane over the limits when using different propellers and gear. in other words the APC (same size) is not equivalent to the Vox (same size) but actually draws a lot more amps and has more vibretions. you may cause the motor box to break or something else to damage. not familiar with the specific motor you chose to use but anyway it would be experimental when using different gear. Personally i have found that Vox props give more flight time than APC, they consume less amps and are easier on battery packs! and in case of a bad landing you will only break the prop and not the plane...
Jun 25, 2012, 12:56 PM | ||
I would say it's not that having bite is the issue...you didn't torque it down. Torque is your friend here not any amount of knurling. If it's not torqued down enough than you won't have enough bite regardless if there is knurling or not and in my experience will give you a false sense of correct torque as it is introducing a variable that increases friction at the point just before proper torque is achieved. A properly "torqued" bolt will actually slightly stretch the threads which causes the threads to lock. Locktite should be used just as a precautionary measure not as a variable of proper torque. Knurling doesn't do much and it actually reduces contact area. That's why race cars use slicks. If you take a look at HIGH end bikes any of the contact surfaces are either splined for correct fit or smooth for contact surface. High quality handlebar stems and handlebars are NOT knurled as they require you to properly torque down the setup. |

I couldn't miss the durn piece of tire but I will do everything to miss one in the future, wow, expensive hit I'm sure.
The only place we stopped at Phoenix was north of there on 303 Loop and we did pull into a shopping center because I heard whistling also on 303.
I also need to check and see about propane delivery here. I have 3/4s of a tank but its very cold at night 37 last night and will use quite a bit at night. We like to be toasty warm.

Where's the Campaign Jobs Chatter?
Last week, the now-ended Obama campaign emailed its long list of supporters that the president would be working with both parties to reduce the deficit in order to "lay the foundation for long-term middle-class job growth and prevent your taxes from going up."
So while the president hits the road to push his fiscal cliff agenda, it will be interesting to see how much he employs the middle-class tax cut rhetoric and how much, or little, he focuses on jobs jobs jobs. But without Republicans raising a stink about the need to focus on employment, the president may not have to switch from his tax cut mantra.

Immunization with effective cancer vaccines can offer a much needed adjuvant therapy to fill the treatment gap after liver resection to prevent relapse of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, current HCC cancer vaccines are mostly based on native shared-self/tumor antigens that are only able to induce weak immune responses. In this study we investigated whether the HCC-associated self/tumor antigen of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) could be engineered to create an effective vaccine to break immune tolerance and potently activate CD8 T cells to prevent clinically relevant carcinogen-induced autochthonous HCC in mice. We found that the approach of computer-guided methodical epitope-optimization created a highly immunogenic AFP and that immunization with lentivector expressing the epitope-optimized AFP, but not wild-type AFP, potently activated CD8 T cells. Critically, the activated CD8 T cells not only cross-recognized short synthetic wild-type AFP peptides, but also recognized and killed tumor cells expressing wild-type AFP protein. Immunization with lentivector expressing optimized AFP, but not native AFP, completely protected mice from tumor challenge and reduced the incidence of carcinogen-induced autochthonous HCC. In addition, prime-boost immunization with the optimized AFP significantly increased the frequency of AFP-specific memory CD8 T cells in the liver that were highly effective against emerging HCC tumor cells, further enhancing the tumor prevention of carcinogen-induced autochthonous HCC. Conclusions: Epitope-optimization is required to break immune tolerance and potently activate AFP-specific CD8 T cells, generating effective antitumor effect to prevent clinically relevant carcinogen-induced autochthonous HCC in mice. Our study provides a practical roadmap to develop effective human HCC vaccines that may result in an improved outcome compared to the current HCC vaccines based on wild-type AFP.

Celebrities Wearing Couture on the Red Carpet | Pictures
Stars in Couture: The Most Haute Red Carpet Moments
Zoe Saldana wasn't nominated for an Oscar at the 2010 Academy Awards, but she made fashion history with the ombré purple gown she wore on the red carpet that year. Her Givenchy Haute Couture design, a fashion-forward choice that blended unexpected textures like crystals and ruffles, landed the actress on many a best dressed list. The high-style move was nothing new, but rather in the tradition of Nicole Kidman, whose chartreuse Christian Dior gown in 1997 was among the first instances of truly modern couture appearing on the red carpet.
Couturiers have always had a special relationship with celebrities, who need jaw-dropping dresses to wear for particularly glamorous events. But now more than ever, couture numbers (as well as custom-created gowns) have become the gold standard for women who have to look elegant and fashionable in front of the flashbulbs. As Paris Haute Couture Week closes, we're taking a look at our favorite couture red carpet moments in recent memory.

A very special place where kids can be kids
Our strong belief is that children need to be children. They are important and need to feel special, competent, and worthwhile throughout their daily interactions with the world around them.
We instruct using thematic units which teach basic skills through real life "hands on" experience. We want our children to realize that learning can be fun so they will strive to fulfill their potential self-worth.
We know we have done a good job when our children leave each day feeling good about themselves and believe that they are an important part of the world.
We are open
Monday through Friday
from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM.
Enrollment is available on a
full-time or part-time basis.
