Becoming one is quick and painless, unlike childbirth.

"You want to homeschool your children AND run a home business? And you think you can do both of those things—and do them well?"
The answer to that question is a resounding YES! There is no reason why you cannot home educate and have a thriving home business at the very same time. What is one very important ingredient that you must have to be successful at both?
Now is not the time to throw organization to the wind. In fact, in order to fulfill all the obligations on your plate, you will want to have an orderly schedule for each day. A Day Planner or good calendar is a must!
Avail yourself to the numerous time management resources that there are out there—free for the taking, including books at your local library. You will be encouraged, even if you don't adopt their particular approach, and some things you will want to schedule:
Both yours and the children's. One warning: Do not attempt to schedule in your husbands, unless he specifically requests for you to do so. We have found that scheduling a husband makes for more difficulties in a marriage than it does help! Let your husband decide for himself whether or not he wants to get in on this scheduling thing—and in what manner.
There are so many different methods of home education that I won't try and tell you how to schedule in your style. But regardless of your particular style of homeschooling, the work won't get done if there isn't a designated time to do it. We prefer to set aside 3 hours for "school" every morning after breakfast—an hour for math, an hour for writing, logic, and other such tasks, and an hour for educational reading (good living books full of history, philosophy, etc).
Those three hours are serious school time—and the children get more accomplished during those three hours than they ever would during a typical eight-hour public school day! Thus, school doesn't drag on and on, boring everyone to tears and putting more demands on me than I can meet…and yet enough time is given (and taken seriously) that we are able to accomplish quite a bit more than you'd think possible!
You have to set some "office hours" for your business, or you'll rarely work your business. For me, my office hours are the wee hours of the morning, before the children arise, and the one hour each afternoon when we have our "rest time." The little ones take naps, and the older ones have a "lie down" period where they can read silently, and/or listen to a story tape (we are huge fans of Patch the Pirate, by the way!) or classical music—something relaxing. That is my office time, where I make my phone calls, do my computer work, send out cards to my business team, etc… The children benefit from having a time each day to mellow out, and our business is able to grow—maybe not as fast as it would if I could put in 8 hours a day, but it DOES grow!
My priorities are as follows:
When I put my business first, everything else suffers. It can be tempting to do, but I'd recommend NOT even "going there." In my opinion, more important than a monthly check is a healthy spiritual life, having a happy husband and a good marriage, and growing thriving children. And the funny thing is, that even though my business receives approximately 2 hours of my time each day, which is not a lot of time, it's still growing much faster than we'd expected! Those two small hours are taken seriously, and I use them as efficiently as I can…and the business grows, step by little step.

As governments prepare to gather at the 63rd United Nations General Assembly here and discuss once again the future of the Kyoto Protocol, a new exhibit One Planet, One Chance, , continues to warn that the world should focus on the development impact of climate change that could bring unprecedented reversals in poverty reduction, nutrition, health and education.
Based on the Human Development Report 2007/2008, the exhibit will be inaugurated on 9 September 2008 at 6 p.m. His Excellency Father Miguel d'Escoto Brockmann, President Elect of the General Assembly, and Kemal Dervis, Administrator of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), will be speaking at the event.
One Planet, One Chance, installed at the United Nations General Assembly Visitors Lobby and open during all of September, reaches out to the Heads of State gathering in New York for the General Assembly proceedings. The exhibit provides a visual display of the shared but differentiated responsibility for the current levels of CO2 in our atmosphere. This point is creatively represented by a series of beanbags which represent the various CO2 emissions per capita of a range of countries.
It argues that all nations and all people share the same atmosphere and, like the 2007/2008 Report, it demonstrates that the world is drifting towards a "tipping point" that could lock the poorest countries and their poorest citizens in a downward spiral, leaving hundreds of millions facing malnutrition, water scarcity, ecological threats, and a loss of livelihoods.
"Ultimately, climate change is a threat to humanity as a whole. But it is the poor, a constituency with no responsibility for the ecological debt we are running up, who face the immediate and most severe human costs," commented Mr. Dervis.
Released just prior to last year's UN Climate Change Conference in Bali, Indonesia, the 2007/2008 Report came at a key moment in negotiations to forge a multilateral agreement for the period after 2012—the expiry date for the current commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol. It calls for a "twin track" approach that combines stringent mitigation to limit 21st century warming to less than 2°C (3.6°F), with strengthened international cooperation on adaptation.
On mitigation, the authors call on developed countries to demonstrate leadership by cutting greenhouse gas emissions by at least 80% of 1990 levels by 2050. Visitors of the exhibit will have the opportunity to clearly understand this point through the various visual embodiments of CO2 data. The report advocates a mix of carbon taxation, more stringent cap-and-trade programmes, energy regulation, and international cooperation on financing for low-carbon technology transfer.
Turning to adaptation, the exhibit and the report warn that inequalities in ability to cope with climate change are emerging as an increasingly powerful driver of wider inequalities between and within countries. It calls on rich countries to put climate change adaptation at the centre of international partnerships on poverty reduction.
"We are issuing a call to action, not providing a counsel of despair," commented the report's lead author Kevin Watkins, adding, "Working together with resolve, we can win the battle against climate change. Allowing the window of opportunity to close would represent a moral and political failure without precedent in human history." Upcoming debates concerning climate change offer unique opportunities to put the interests of the world's poor at the heart of climate change negotiations.
Avoiding dangerous climate change
The authors of the Human Development Report call on governments to set a collective target for avoiding dangerous climate change. They advocate a threshold of 2°C (3.6°F) above pre-industrial levels (the current level is 0.7°C, 1.3°F).
This exhibit demonstrates some of the critical issues facing negotiators of the Post-Kyoto Accord. While acknowledging the threat posed by rising emissions from major developing countries, the authors argue that northern governments have to initiate the deepest and earliest cuts. They point out that rich countries carry overwhelming historic responsibility for the problem, have far deeper carbon footprints, and have the financial and technological capabilities to act.
"If people in the developing world had generated per capita CO2 emissions at the same level as people in North America, we would need the atmosphere of nine planets to deal with the consequences," commented Mr. Watkins.
Using an illustrative framework for an emissions pathway consistent with avoiding dangerous climate change, this exhibit and the Human Development Report suggests that:
Measured against this benchmark, the authors find that many of the targets set by developed country governments fall short of what is required. It notes also that most developed countries have failed to achieve even the modest reductions—averaging around 5% from 1990 levels—agreed under the Kyoto Protocol. Even where ambitious targets have been set, the report argues, few developed countries have aligned stated climate security goals with concrete energy policies.
ABOUT THIS EXHIBIT: The exhibit One Planet, One Chance was made possible with support of AIGA, Duggal, HP, Magnum Photos, and Zago. Concept and design by Zago with the Human Development Report team.

A consistent oil supply is fundamental to track and competition driving. This is ensured by the dry-sump lubrication system, even during extreme lateral and longitudinal acceleration.
Once it has passed through the engine, two scavenge pumps in each cylinder head and another two in the crankcase take the engine oil quickly and efficiently back to an external reservoir.
The oil pumps are designed so that there is negative pressure in the crankcase. This reduces resistance to the movement of the pistons to improve power output and efficiency. Another pump in the crankcase supplies the lubricating points in the engine from the external reservoir.
For the engine this means consistent lubrication of the crankshaft assembly and the two cylinder banks, even under the extreme lateral and longitudinal loads which are possible with sport tyres.
The new 911 GT3 is factory-filled with Mobil 1 high-performance fully synthetic oil. Its exceptional lubricating properties ensure reliable starting even in the coldest conditions and, importantly, contribute to the long-term durability of the engine.

Patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) are at risk for three major complications: heart failure, angina, and stroke.
AF reduces the heart's pumping capacity. Although the atria are small chambers with relatively weak muscles, they still contribute a "kick" or boost to the larger, more powerful ventricles. In addition, the rapid heart rate of AF reduces the efficiency of each beat. In all, AF reduces the heart's pumping capacity by 10% to 30%. People whose hearts are otherwise healthy can compensate for this impairment, but those with damaged heart muscles or valves cannot. As a result, they experience the fatigue, breathlessness, exercise intolerance, and swelling of the feet and legs that are so characteristic of heart failure. AF can also trigger the chest pain of angina or a heart attack in patients with coronary artery disease.
The other major complication of AF is stroke. Although doctors have studied AF for over 100 years, the risk of stroke was not fully appreciated until the 1980s, when the Framingham Heart Study reported that 24% of its stroke patients were also in AF, and that the abnormal heart rhythm developed within the six months preceding the stroke in about a third of these participants. AF quintuples the risk of stroke. It accounts for about 15% of all strokes and for nearly a quarter of all strokes in people ages 80 to 89.
How does a cardiac abnormality cause brain damage? Since fibrillating atria don't contract, they contain relatively stagnant pools of blood. Clots (thrombi) form in these areas, then break off and travel to the brain, where they block small arteries, depriving the brain of its vital oxygen and causing tissue damage and death. It's a devastating sequence of events, but it can be prevented by anticoagulants, medications that fight blood clots. In fact, the use of anticoagulants is one of the key priorities in the management of patients with AF. The others are slowing the heart rate and, in some patients, restoring a normal heart rhythm.

A traumatic brain injury (TBI) is defined as a blow or jolt to the head or a penetrating head injury that disrupts the function of the brain. Not all blows or jolts to the head result in a TBI. The severity of such an injury may range from "mild," i.e., a brief change in mental status or consciousness to "severe," i.e., an extended period of unconsciousness or amnesia after the injury. A TBI can result in short or long-term problems with independent function.
Approximately 1.4 million people have a TBI each year in the U.S., and about 50,000 die from the TBI. At least 5.3 million Americans currently have a long-term or lifelong disability due to a TBI. The leading causes of TBI are motor vehicle crashes, falls, and assaults.
Publications and Reports
Massachusetts Statistics
- In 2005 there were 571 deaths among MA residents which were associated with a traumatic brain injury (TBI). In FY 2005, there were 5193 inpatient hospitalizations, 1303 observation stays and 39,640 emergency department visits for nonfatal traumatic brain injury at MA acute care hospitals.
- The leading cause of TBI-related death, hospitalization and emergency department visits is a fall.
- Older MA residents, ages 65 years and over, have the highest rates of TBI-related death and hospitalization.
- Infants under 1 year of age in MA have the highest rates of emergency room visits for a nonfatal TBI.
- Most (68%) TBI-related deaths in 2005 were unintentional. Seventeen percent of TBI-related deaths were due to suicide. Ten percent of TBI-related deaths were due to homicide.
Prevention Tips
Adapted from CDC at http://www.cdc.gov/ncipc/tbi/Prevention.htm.
- Wear a seat belt every time you drive or ride in a motor vehicle.
- Buckle your child in the car using a child safety seat, booster seat, or seat belt (according to the child's height, weight, and age).
- Never drive while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
- Wear a helmet and make sure your children wear helmets when:
- Riding a bike, motorcycle, snowmobile, scooter, or all-terrain vehicle
- Playing a contact sport, such as football, ice hockey, or boxing
- Make living areas safer for seniors and children to prevent falls.
- Make sure the surface on your child's playground is made of shock-absorbing material, such as hardwood mulch or sand.
- Stay away from violence and guns.

Pretend Play
We have a various number of pretend play toys to really get your child involved by using their imagination.
Some of our Favorite Imaginative Toys include:
- Action Figures
- Holiday and Religious Toys
- Play Kitchens
- Play Sets
- Puppets and Puppet Theaters
Action Figures
Action figures are great toys to help children develop their creative abilities and learn the art of pretending. We have a wonderful selection of action figures that include everything from prehistoric animals and Noah's ark and bugs in a box to Cinderella and from pasture pals to pirates. Our Cowboys and Indians or Medieval Times sets will even give children some insight into specific historical time periods. Each action figure is safe with no harmful parts.
Holiday and Religious Toys
Religious toys and holiday toys are very similar because religion is such a large part of many holidays. Children like to emulate adults and religious toys provide the child with a chance for emulation. Imaginative toys are fun because they allow the child to use the imagination in a realistic setting with family and friends.
Play Kitchens
Play kitchens are a fantastic way to allow your child to use their imagination. Play kitchens can run the gamut from basic to fully loaded. Some of the different models of child play kitchens include toy microwaves, refrigerators, dishwasher and ovens. These single unit models of play kitchens are sturdy and very ergonomic.
Play kitchens are a great way for your child to use their imagination and act like a grown-up. With play kitchens, however, your child may need some extra accessories to help them use their imagination to the fullest. We offer a nice selection of play food to help the child use their imagination. Assortments of play food feature everything from canned foods to meats to different desserts. Play food is essential when it comes to using play kitchens, but you may need some other accessories as well. Some kitchen accessories include pots and pans, a play cutting board and knife. Your child can prepare all kinds of play food the right way and learn about using a knife the safe and proper way before they take it to the real kitchen. Play kitchens make great gifts, but having the perfect accessories is just as important!
Our best selling play kitchen is the KidKraft Play Kitchen. This beautiful set comes complete with a refrigerator, freezer, oven, sink and microwave. This kid-sized favorite is sure to impress the young chefs in your life.
Play Sets
Play sets are a great way for the child to use his imagination. Play sets can let children imitate the careers and everyday activities of a grown-up. Play sets can enhance the imagination of your child, making their understanding of the "real world" a little more real to them.
One of our more popular play sets are the magic sets. Your budding Houdini will love learning magic tricks with the Melissa & Doug Discovery Magic Set. This high quality set will provide your little magician with all the basics to perform amazing illusions and crafty slight-of-hand tricks.
And, for the child who loves farms and animals, we offer the Melissa & Doug Fold & Go Barn. This top quality barn features large sliding front doors, large stalls, stable doors, hayloft and a convenient carry handle for playtime on the go. Also included are seven detailed farm animals, including a pig and horse, for an endless barnyard adventure.
Puppets and Puppet Theaters
Everyone loves getting invited to a puppet show! There is lots of fun to be had with puppets and puppet theaters for both children and parents. Puppets provide the child with a chance to get involved with imaginative play and really let their imagination run completely wild. Not only are puppets great for your child's imagination, they are a great means of artistic expression and communication. Most children will have an easy time relating to puppets from a very early age since they often use their imagination to make inanimate objects and characters come to life.

Low Milk Production
What causes low milk production?
Occasionally, a delay in the time when milk "comes in" turns into an ongoing problem with low milk production. Sometimes, a mother has been producing sufficient amounts of milk, and then milk production slowly, or quite suddenly, decreases. Some of the conditions associated with a delay may also have an ongoing effect on milk production, including, but not limited to, the following:- severe postpartum hemorrhage (excessive bleeding)
- retained placental fragments
- thyroid conditions
Other factors can also lead to insufficient milk production. Maternal smoking has been shown to result in less milk. Some medications and herbal preparations have a negative effect on the amount of milk produced. Hormonal forms of birth control, especially any containing estrogen, have been found to have a big impact on milk production. However, some mothers report a drop in milk production after receiving/taking a progestin-only contraceptive during the first four to eight weeks after delivery (postpartum). Milk production may also decrease if you become pregnant again.
If insufficient milk production seems to be a problem, yet the baby seems to be sucking effectively, your physician or certified lactation consultant (IBCLC) may recommend the following:
- Increase the number of breastfeedings to 10 to 12 in 24 hours.
- Increase the amount of skin-to-skin contact you have with your baby. Take off your shirt and baby's shirt and place your baby on your chest with a sheet or shirt over both of you.
- A review of your health history with you to discover if there may be a health condition, treatment, or medication interfering with milk production.
- pump your breasts for several minutes after breastfeeding, using a hospital-grade electric breast pump.
- ask your physician or a certified lactation consultant (IBCLC) about taking a galactogogue, which is a medication or an herbal preparation found to have a positive effect on milk production.

AMARILLO, TEXAS -- Many people in Amarillo have hoped to see a gas station come to center city, and the Downtown Urban Design Review Board made that hope a reality Monday evening.
The board voted 6:3 in favor of signing a Certificate of Appropriateness for a Toot 'n Totum retail store located at 10th Avenue between Pierce and Buchanan.
After long discussion about the auto-oriented business being set back off of the property line, the board considered how the structure would and would not comply with design standards. And after every board member, members of Toot 'n Totum and the public had their say, it came time to vote.
"All of the board agreed that everybody wants to see this kind of a use downtown," City Planning Director Kelley Shaw stated. "I think there was some discussion on how best to do it. And, so, I think that's where a lot of the discussion took place. And again, it just came down to a majority of the board felt with that type of a use, the variances that were approved were justified."
Shaw said the next step is for the board to sign the certificate. The contractor can then go to apply for a building permit.
Construction dates have not yet been discussed.

Bootleggers, smugglers, drug dealers, hit men—all these occupations are the provenance of mobsters, who operate in ethnic, family and business networks. Mobsters' real life crimes, and Hollywood's fascination with them, has earned them a special place in the American imagination. From Al Capone's Chicago crime ring to Bugsy Siegel's Las Vegas racket, these mobsters have made their names notorious from coast to coast.

The following is an update from Regional Pastor Warren Geraghty:
Eastern Region Hurricane Sandy Update
It has been about 24 hours since "Sandy" came to the northeastern U.S. Some areas have experienced wide spread power outages, property and environmental damage and some loss of life.
As for our Lutheran Brethren churches here, so far, they seem to be doing OK. The challenge is, due to loss of electricity, I have only been able to connect with about a third of our pastors.
Our greatest need right now is for prayer. Please pray for our pastors and parishioners as they support each other and their communities during this challenging time. Some may not have electricity for 7-10 days. Pray too that, through ministering to needs, the Gospel would eventually be shared.
I will keep you posted as more news comes in.

So the One will attack and the reply should be swift and decisive from repubs.Walking out would work for me.
Maybe he will follow the lead of the Pope and RETIRE!!!Art
Atwitter? Please, spare me those idiotic comments!´Focus like a laser on job creation´.There, that covers tonight´s SOTU address. Now I don´t have to watch.
We have a delusional pResident, thanks to all the Obama voters and the Republican voters who stayed home. Can you imagine how much better off we would be now if Romney were elected back in Nov? No Obamacare crud staring us in the face, no thousands of extra IRS agents descending on us like locusts, the Keystone pipeline and other energy projects speeding full speed ahead. No crazy destruction of our nuclear stockpiles. Abraham Lincoln was nicknamed "Honest Abe" for a reason. Americans revere former presidents who were seen as honest. We now have a pResident who spews nothing but a stream of lies when he talks. Will I listen to his speech tonight? No.
Why does it take this doofus hours to blame everything on G.W Bush and the Republicans and claim nothing is his fault?
No one really cares what zippy has to say, except everyone who makes money talking about it, or hoping to be elected around it.Leave us alone already.
So he will start the speech saying as they all do that the Union is in good shape and all the criminals in attendance will stand and applaud? I´m watching the dog show.
Maybe he's going to announce that he's going to 'Pope" on the side. He thinks he's smart enough to be president and Pope at the same time.
Let me see if I can fix the article´s headline..." A delusional Obama will make another speech about his illusional Vision of America."No matter how he tries to put lipstick on his ´PIG". IT is still a PIG. Never will be a silk purse.
A random thought concerning tonight´s goobermint sponsored "dog and pony" show from Capitol Hill...Instead of playing the usual official Presidential Anthem of The United States, "Hail To The Chief," wouldn´t it be refreshing if the United States Marine Band struck up a stirring rendition of Frank Sinatra´s immortal classic, "Chicago/My Kind Of Town," instead when The Emperor starts his "two step" down the aisle?
The crap is getting so deep we need shovel!
Twits atwitter. I´m going to wash and wax the trunk and glove box.
I liked 4´s comments. Zero should be remembered as: Dishonest Obe.

Online Reservations
There are not words to say how blown away we all were with the way we were treating and the amazing food. It is definitely a place to look your best and it's such a nice change to look at every table around you and everyone else has put a lot of effort into how they are dressed. The clientele and the restaurant are beautiful. Our waiter was one of the nicest and skilled waiters I've seen and the food was dynamite.
This is our favorite restaurant in Las Vegas....We are in Las Vegas at least 3 times a year and we can hardly wait to go to Andrea's....The Steak for two ( it is 16 oz) is so delicious as well as the Asian Pear Martini....Once you have this martini, you cannot be satisfied with other martini's....We have enjoyed everything we have eaten at Andrea's and cannot wait to go back !...
This has become our new favorite restaurant in Las Vegas. The service is IMPECCABLE and the wine list is refreshing. Patrons BEWARE, though, there is an unpublished dress code that no shorts are allowed, despite the fact that it overlooks the Encore Beach Club. And adherence to the policy is dependent on who is working the hostess stand. Otherwise, food and service are fabulous!
Overall, a good experience. Service was a little lacking--while waiter was pleasant, we didn't have our chopsticks replaced after our appetizers. But that wasn't too big of a deal. I don't like how the tables are placed almost in a cafeteria style pattern; they should have added some light music so that we didn't just hear the noise of people talking. I enjoyed the food and the drinks were fantastic. I would definitely consider going back again, but for that price-point I would rather go to Botero (better atmosphere). Eyes staring at the bar and on all the menus weren't that appealing to me (theme wise), but I did like the font used for the name "Andrea's." Beautiful light fixtures and overall a pleasant experience.
Absolutely amazing Asian fusion, probably among the best we've had, even in LA. We had originally planned to go to Tao (Venetian/Palazzo), but Tao was closed for the evening, so we ended up at Andrea's and were SO GLAD WE DID! We enjoy Tao, and the trendy atmosphere is great, but the food at Andrea's is of much higher quality. The sashimi was cut to perfection and practically melted in our mouths (the sign of a top-notch sushi chef). Black cod was tasty, smooth, and tender. Crab fried rice was also delicious (although that's not exactly the highlight of the restaurant). The service was impeccable, the wine pours were generous, the music was present and vibey but not overpowering. Sophisticated and posh decor. A++
This was our fourth time dinning at Andrea's. We like this restaurant very much. Our most recent visit was primarily notable due to the outstanding service. From beginning to end we were treated like honored guests. A truly great evening was had by all.
went on a friday night with a bunch of girlfriends and started the night AND the weekend right. did a bunch of apps and a few entrees- hands down the best meal we had all weekend!! would go back in a heartbeat, this property is amazing and the restaurant has a great ambiance, fantastic staff and AMAZING food.
Excellent food and service. We ate at the bar and the bartenders were fantastic. Very attentive without hovering. We had a great time.
O Andrea's foi uma indicação da blogueira Anne Pavão, ela só da dicas de Las Vegas e as dicas são ótimas. Reservas com antecedência pois a data escolhida era véspera de feriado. Reservamos para as 11 pm, coisa rara em Las Vegas, onde as reservas muitas vezes não passam das 9:30 pm. Fomos muito bem atendidas (estávamos em uma turma de 6 amigas), a comida era leva e maravilhosa, as entradas divinas, tomamos um drink na jarra que tinham vários canudos, delicioso. A localização dele é ótima e para quem quer mais agito dá para emendar a XS, já que são no mesmo hotel. Recomendo com certeza, experimente a pipoca de camarão... D+!
I can't say a bad word about anything in this restaurant Athmosphary was amazing !! People all dressed up... Best design and a great dj both. The food was beyond words and was served in the coolest ways ever... Chocolate desert in a sugar bubble ?!! Going to remember this one for years to come !!
Great enviroment, Food, service, great DJ, good place to have a good time. Love the prívate tables in case you are in a romántico mood. A sae a grup of friends having a big joined drink, i love to go in a group, as well.
Monday night pairing of a select food and a drink is fun to experience.
Wow! We are locals. Eat at many restaurants along the strip. This is definitely a Top 10 of all restaurants we have eaten at!
From the moment we entered the restaurant to the moment we left the service was superb. The sushi and dim sum were extraordinary! Highly recommend this restaurant for all ages.
My wife and I had the pleasure of eating at Andrea's on a Sunday night after taking in a show. The menu and dining experience left nothing to be desired. The food was amazing and the ambience was perfect. Our server was overly attentive and helpful throughout the meal.
Six months in Andrea's is doing pretty well. The food is good with the right portions, but definitely needs more flavor, more kick. The hip motif and layout look great...I need to get a private booth on my next visit. Only issue about the tables with high chairs...I'm 6'2"-220 lb. and it was hard to get comfortable in the high chairs...maybe they're built that way!? And Roy is an interesting cat...he's been around since the beginning of Wynn/Encore. We'll be back...
great energy, fun vibe, great for having dinner before hitting the clubs!
Andrea's is at the top of our "BEST" restaurants list...We love the atmosphere, the fabulous food, and a great staff...Our favorite dish is the 16 oz. New York Strip with demi-glace....the salads are different with a healthy twist which we loved..The Asian Pear Martini is my favorite martini anywhere !...When we're in Vegas, Andrea's is a MUST !!!...Last week we ate there twice !!!!....
Ended our family trip in Vegas, and came to Andrea's based on posted reviews. Pretty much as reviewed- good food and fun ambience, overpriced, but probably consistent with Vegas strip venue. I give it 4 stars, not 5, because the food and overall environment is not at the level of the price.
Not as good as the last time we were here 2 1/2 months ago. I don't know what changed, but it was not as good.
Staff was quick, efficient, and accomodating. Food was delicious. Dessert was scrumptious. Service was impeccable.
Would go back again. Food and atmosphere fantastic.
We just tried this new restaurant at the Encore which borders the Encore Beach club. It's described as Hip Asian and it's just that. Everything was better than delicious and the staff was gracious and attentive. Definitely will be back.
Had our anniversary dinner here on Thursday. They gave us chopsticks with Happy Anniversary written on them. Cute. Arrived early, had drinks at the bar. Bartender was nice. Had an Asian Pear martini- perfect. Order drinks off an iPad menu, pretty cool. The eyes behind the bar and on the menu at Steve Wynn's wife's and the restaurant is named after her. There are some semi private booths. Wish I had known, I would've requested one when I made the reservation. But our table was fine, The place is very energetic. Good music, good crowd. The food is really good. My husband and I shared everything (we made it family style). Ordered the edamame (needed more truffle), cold seafood platter (awesome), NY steak (tasty), crab fried rice (good flavor).
Great atmosphere, food and excellent service. The prices were actually resonable for a restaurant at the Wynn! I wil definately be going back.
My wife and I just celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary at Andrea's. EVERYTHING was spectacular! We arrived a few minutes before our reservation and asked if we wanted to enjoy a cocktail at the bar prior to seating. At this time I notified the bartender I brought a special bottle of wine to celebrate our anniversary, he immediately notified the sommelier who came and spoke with me about my wine and suggested it be decanted since the 13 year old cabernet had been in my cellar. Once she took my bottle fore decanting we were escorted to our private booth overlooking the main dining room. The food is amazing, service, and every detail was impeccable, right down to having "Happy 10th Anniversary" stamped on our chop sticks.
Andrea's was a place for surprises, and disappointments. Upon arriving, we were very impressed with the decor, and general ambiance of the restaurant. Very cool and modern, but relaxed. The service was very good - all wait staff were friendly and attentive. The food, however, left a lot to be desired. I had a dish, which was like a Kung-Pao, but the chicken was crispy, and it was very good except for the sauce, which was way too generously applied. The sauce, while flavorful, took away from the rest of the ingredients. I also had a side of crab fried rice, which had absolutely no flavor. I had to mix it with my other dish to give it something. My wife's dish was equally uninspiring. Overall, not bad, but not for the money.
My husband and I went to celebrate my birthday- staff very attentive- we had a private booth- quiet enough to talk but could still see the restaurant. All the dishes we had were amazing- our waitress was very helpful! We started with the cold seafood platter- the presentation was beautiful - lobster, oysters, crab, shrimp, ceviche- everything so fresh and delicious. We then just shared a few more appetizers- on the recommendation of our waitress- tuna sushi, Waygu beef, scallion pancakes- all were very good. Good sized portions. We were both full. They even brought me out chopsticks that had Happy Birthday on it. Would definitely go back!
We were staying in Encore and wanted to try some great place for dinner. It was really good, nice presentation and flavors. I would recommend you ask for booth as the seating is uncomfortable when sitting in the center of the dining room and very loud. Great sushi and fish, the waiter suggested we don't do their pasta as the dishes are too big and that's not what they are known for.
Wow. What a great place. First off, you must have a drink at the bar and get a picture with the eyes! It's just cool. I had the red velvet martini and it was the best drink I've ever had in my life! Our waiter was amazing and super sweet, I wish I remembered his name. Everything we ordered was phenom, the rice, the steak, the sushi, etc. Top Notch. The waiter gave us chopsticks that said Happy Anniversary knowing we wrote it on Open Table. I can't wait to go back on my next Vegas trip.
Great spot for dinner and very trendy. Food is amazing!!!
Andrea's is officially my favorite restaurant in Las Vegas. Food was outstanding! Service and ambience was out of this world.
wow, everything from the ambiance to the service to the food and the drinks. By far one of my new favorites in las Vegas. The drinks are unfkrgettably good and huge. The sashimi was one of the best I've had, and the steak melts in your mouth. We also got a sushi roll and their pad thai, both also amazing. Lots of food, pricey, but we loved it and would recommend it to every one. We were celebrating our anniversary so they brought us the happy anniversary chop sticks :)
Service and food were both very good. Only miss was the cheesecake bites for dessert. They were terrible.
Andrea,s is the place to be seen. Great new hot spot. Food and service top notch.
Enjoyed our meal at this new fab restaurant that opened in Feb 2013. Walked in & we had a glass of champagne at the bar. The bartender was a real nice guy. Wait staff was great, Christopher did a fine job! Delicious dim sum apps; best potstickers we've ever had with a smoky taste to them. The sea bass melted in your mouth, it was literally like butter; juicy & very flavorful. Will be back to try different menu items!
Service was great, food excellent, a wonderful dinner. Will be back.
The food was great and the specialty drink list looked and tasted amazing... Wynn and company added another great place to their already amazing lineup!
Calm and tastefull diner, very privet booth for two/four people. We enjoyed our diner a lot, thank you!
Everything here was perfect! We came here for my birthday and from start to finish everything was incredible. We started with a cocktail at the bar (love the iPad drink menu) then were seated in one of the lovely private booths. The Happy Birthday chopsticks are such a small gesture with a huge impact, loved them! Ordered the gardein chick'n shumai and the tofu steak and had the melon tart for dessert, everything was delicious. Lacey was an amazing waitress! Can't wait to come back!
Delicious,clean food.Inexpensive and notable wine list. Spectacular vibe andambience.
Decided to try Andreas at the Encore for a birthday dinner. Excellent choice. The sea bass with citrus was excellent. The black cod was very good also but I'm not sure it's as good as at Nobu. The green beans were delicious and the chocolate dessert was a perfect ending. The sushi rolls were as good as anywhere I've had them and the tuna on rice cakes was an amazing appetizer (probably my favorite). While the food was delicious, although pricy like comparable places, the best part of the experience was the fantastic service we had from our server, Ken. He probably was the best server I've ever had in any restaurant and that's the highest compliment I could pay. The atmosphere was upbeat, clean, white and perfect for our celebration.
Food was amazing! we tried the hamachi, the cod, and the sea bass, don't forget to order the side of smashed potatoes!
Everything was excellent. It was during the week around 9:30 am and wasn't really busy which was goo for us! Our server Christopher was very knowledgeable and attentive. We've eaten there before so we new the food was good but this time it was even better! We will definitely be going back!
We had a great diner at Andrea's. Perfect spot to eat in vegas! Vibrant and energetic but not overly loud. A beautiful restaurant with the view of Surrender out the windows. Loved the setup. The food was delicious and wine selection as well. I have to say I was a bit disappointed with the dessert selection. I was hoping for something really different, a wow factor to end the meal. Overall we had a great experience and will definitely come again.
This restaurant was a excellent choice for dinner the food was flawless and so was the service the wait staff was excellent and friendly went above and beyond to accommodate our request when it came to the food.
I wasn't sure this was going to be one of my favorites when I walked in but was blown away with how great everything was! The service was the absolute best and the food was amazing. Get the smoked salmon appetizer. It literally comes served in smoke! Way cool and makes the taste something to remember.
As you walk into this hidden gem, you will be treated with white glove service, impeccable and flawless from start to finish --I swear there was a red carpet when our group entered! This is my 7th time here and I will be back fro more ...food was Top Chef award winning! You must experceince this savvy hipster spot for yourself! Music is directed by Steve ANGELO ...DUH, SHM! LOVE!
Service was really tremendous, food was excellent, and the menu was very diverse. LOVED IT and went back the next night with customers.
Very nice place, great bar and drinks, close to Surrender. Have deinner or drink a cocktail before going there!

"It has long been a Wachowski goal to expand what audiences will accept. They aspired toward nothing less than expanded consciousness with The Matrix and its sequels, the last of which was critically reviled. "People hated it," Lana recalls. "They said: 'I want to go back into my pod. I want to go back.' "
Please. I support the Wachowskis - they've managed to make personal films on a blockbuster scale, and long may they wave - but the third MATRIX simply stunk. Blaming the audience for your artistic failure gets you nowhere.

Summary and Book Reviews
The Sunday Philosophy Club: Summary and book reviews of The Sunday Philosophy Club by Alexander McCall Smith
I have to fundamentally disagree with the reviewer who writes 'unfortunately, Smith's subplots are more interesting than the main mystery and the key character gets bogged down in too many philosophical digressions'. I disagree because, as far as I'm concerned, the whole joy of this book, and for that matter the 'No.1 Ladies Detective Agency' series, is the fact that the plot is entirely secondary to the digressions!

Updated: Jan 30, 2013 4:10 AM
Tax season officially opens on Wednesday. The IRS will begin processing most tax returns.
They say the best way to file a return is through E-File; that's also the fastest way to get a refund.
The IRS says it expects to process refunds within the normal timeframes. Last year, the average refund was about 21 days or less.
If you made less than $50,000 dollars last year, you can get your taxes done for free at Cal Poly.
The program is part of the Central Coast Tax Coalition, and it aims to help community members and students avoid unnecessary tax fees.
IRS-certified accounting students in their senior year prepare the tax returns and local tax practitioners review them.
They will be on the third floor of the Orfalea College of Business building starting Saturday, February 2nd.
Cal Poly's tax program will run from 10:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. on Saturdays through March 16th. You don't need an appointment, but you should bring your Social Security card or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number, 2011 tax returns, and all 2012 tax-related documents.

Five Things Friday {11-09-2012
1. Earlier this week I received my confirmation of acceptance card in the mail for the Boston Marathon. I have to admit, even though my name has been on the entrant list since a few days after I registered I always get nervous that something went wrong during registration or somehow my name was left out etc. It was nice to get a reminder in the mail– if only the Goofy Challenge/Disney Marathon would do the same!
2. On Tuesday night Ian decided that he wanted pizza. We usually keep frozen dough and other ingredients on hand but we were all out so after a quick trip to the convenience store in our building, Ian returned with a DiGiorno. Unfortunately, we do not own a circular baking sheet so we had to get a little creative and used a flipped over circular casserole dish (so the solid side was up). Obviously neither of us really thought this through because as the dough softened it molded to the pan making a nice pizza casserole!
Ian said it tasted the same but the crusts were doughier. Hmmm….
3. I almost never go out to lunch during the week– in fact, yesterday was only the second time I've purchased lunch since starting my current job in late-July. Yesterday morning I was not feeling packing a lunch so I decided to pick one up from the fancy grocery store salad bar near my office. I felt like a kid in a candy store (flashback to college cafeterias) and I loaded up my salad with the most random things (raisins? ok! marinated mushrooms? sounds good!).
When I got back to my office though I was disappointed. First, my crazed put-everything-on-salad mindset hadn't created a coherent meal and second, it did in fact taste like a college salad bar (nothing wrong with that but for almost $5 I should have picked up a salad elsewhere).
4. This week was a good week for mail. On Tuesday night I was informed that I had received a package and I was in no way expecting one (while I was/am but I knew it couldn't have gotten there by them). Yay surprise package! I walked over to the package pick-up place in my building and found a large and somewhat heavy box. I was so excited to open it!
Turns out it my Muir Glen Tomato Gift Basket that I won from Blonde Bostonian. Yay, chili for everyone!
5. You know when you have a good idea for a meal so you make it and it looks good but unfortunately it doesn't taste half as good as you thought it would? Yeah, that was my breakfast this morning.
I toasted two gf waffles and topped them with pumpkin mixed with protein powder, honey, and pumpkin pie spice, banana slices, and pb2 sauce. It looked so good but tasted kind of bland. Boo.
What are your plans this weekend? Ever won a blog giveaway?

THE HUFFINGTON POST – By Hadi Ghaemib (December 19, 2013) The recent interim nuclear agreement between Iran and the P5+1 powers is a welcome development for most Iranians. It is a major step in the right direction, addressing many of their pressing concerns:
Remembering A Forgotten Crime

Mansour Farhang: Zarif and the Pursuit of Rights and Respect (Commentary)
(November 22, 2013) – "An ambassador is an honest gentleman sent to lie abroad for the good of his country." The endurance of this remark by Sir Henry Wotton, a 17th century English diplomat, is due to the fact that it contains an element of truth. Politically astute diplomats, however, know the limits of such practice.
Witness: Iran, Where Your Shoes Can Get You Deported
November 20, 2013 – In the end, the family was deported to Afghanistan over pink sneakers and platform sandals. Zohrah, 17, and her sister Hasina, 15, sounded furious, in a teenager kind of way, when they talked about their arrest and how it led them, their father, and Zohrah's boyfriend to a dusty reception center on the Afghan side of the Iran-Afghanistan border.
UN Shows Strong Support for Human Rights in Iran with 83-to-36 Vote
(November 19, 2013) – The International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran welcomes the United Nations General Assembly's Third Committee vote today overwhelmingly supporting human rights in Iran, and urges the Iranian government to comply with UN human rights mechanisms and take concrete steps to address the ongoing violations in the country.

Associated Press – 11.19.2013 – BEIRUT, Lebanon — Twin explosions went off next to the Iranian embassy in southern Beirut Tuesday, killing 23 people and wounding 147, Lebanon's state news agency reported. Lebanon's Prime Minister-designate Tammam Salam called the blasts "a terrorist crime which would aim to strike [at] stability and national unity," reported the agency.

New Sanctions Would Sabotage Nuclear Talks and Stymie Human Rights in Iran
(November 14, 2013) – The United States Congress should not impose further sanctions on Iran while the negotiations between Iran and the P5+1 countries are ongoing as adopting new sanctions will seriously jeopardize all efforts to end Iran's nuclear standoff and worsen their impact on ordinary Iranians, the International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran said today.
