EDITOR’S NOTE

EDITOR’S NOTE Have you heard the news? It’s time to move!

matter how hectic your day, Santaluz represents yet another of San Diego’s finest oasis spots to come home to.

In so many ways this is true. Let’s start with the simplest... The days are shorter, the workload is heavier, and the necessity for coffee is stronger than ever (I’ll take mine black, thank you). Have you found yourself fumbling around in the morning or laboring to rise at your alarm’s 6 a.m. call? Whether you’re ready or not, the day demands that you get at it. Fall has always had weighty aspirations, whether it’s to conquer the world or conquer your 5th grader’s latest math assignment. Maybe this seriousness comes from the great hangover that summer leaves us with. Or could it be Fall’s new time commitments and demands for more productivity. Regardless, how do we move forward at the necessary (warp) speed?

In between business, socializing and charity work, get a jump on your holiday planning with this month’s article on holiday decor. Take our writer’s creative inspirations and dress your holiday table with beautiful and impressive choices that take the anxiety out of hosting and put your personal signature on everything, from table centerpieces to napkin holders.

There are many ways to get the job done, if not for yourself than for all the others in your life of which you are the center of the universe. Whatever your method, it’s time to begin. So straighten your tie, tighten your seatbelt, and get ready to fire on all cylinders. In other words, move......

In this issue, our motto is “all in a day’s work.” We begin with the task of dressing for work with a helpful guide to putting together classic looks that say professional, but also casual and stylish. Spend less time in your closet stressing over choices and more time in the board room changing the world.

Also on the business front, our finance report highlights some uber-positive points that could help you make another type of move - pulling up the stakes. With rates their lowest in 50 years, settle into the home of your dreams, possible in this month’s featured city: Santaluz. Get more for your money in this little-known enclave of Rancho Santa Fe, where the natural geography of the region is preserved and met with mountains, ocean views and untold luxury. No

If you’re someone who’d rather experience fine holiday food and wine without the mess, consider this October’s Gourmet Experience in Del Mar. The choices for elite dining have never been greater and more accessible to San Diegans.

Another fine food organization celebrating its 50th U.S. anniversary of culinary excellence this is the Confrérie de la Chaîne des Rôtisseurs. The Chaîne’s legacy includes centuries of cooking and dining tradition that has been handed down to the finest gourmet chef’s in the world.

If this isn’t enough to get you moving, you might want to consider this month’s exclusive on the legend and legacy that is Ferrari. Read about the history and tradition of this fine Italian auto-maker; you might just be inspired to take a test drive yourself. Or, you might find yourself inspired by this month’s fitness article, which comes complete with a 3-week plan to keep you on the fast track of fitness.

A spectacular serene view, from a Santaluz estate.

Santaluz A S PE C TA C U L A R G AT E D COM M U N I T Y article by: Machel Penn Shull

Imagine a secret world that includes 3,800 acres of rolling hillsides, olive

trees, trails and the highest mountain closest to the ocean... Now incorporate a planned community with Tuscany style homes lining a golf course nestled in between the native California desert terrain, while living the life of luxury. If that sounds too good to be true, think again. Behind the gates of Santaluz, residents enjoy a sense of community that is establishing 92127 as one of the most desirable zip codes in Southern California. With picturesque sunsets and views of the mountains and Pacific ocean, Santaluz is making its mark on the Southern California Real Estate scene.

Established at the beginning of the millennium, Santaluz is a collaboration by an affiliate of DMB Associates, Inc., which was voted “Best Planned Community in San Diego” by the Building Industry Association. With the original intent to use the natural landscape, home owners enjoy picturesque landscaping while conserving water and saving money at the same time.

Local Realtor, Mike Taylor has sold properties in this area for 13 years. He shared some positive remarks regarding Santaluz. “Santaluz has done a phenomenal job of creating a family community with Panoramic views are second to none in the Santaluz community

amenities for all ages. For someone looking for the complete lifestyle, this is it. Also, the value for new homes in Santaluz is definitely more bank for your money.”

Another agent commented “We have so many beautiful views, which include a golf course, the surrounding mountains, the ocean and believe it or not, views of La Jolla,” he says. “Residents can enjoy the open space of trails, private tennis courts and our pool is comparable to the feeling of a resort. We also have full fitness, an indoor basketball court, coffee shop, dining room, full service spa and lots of extra-curricular activities for those that live here. The community is very family friendly. For the 4th of July we have one of those most spectacular firework displays in Southern California with a full BBQ and tons of kid activities. Club members enjoy both the lifestyle and amenities that are unique to Santluz.”

But it’s not just amenities that draw people to SantaLuz. Though a tucked away community, you’d be surprised to realize how centrally located it is, with easy access to major freeways and other gated communities in the area.

Ben Evers, explains why he finds his clients invest and buy homes there. “Living in Santaluz is a lifestyle choice,” says Ben. “A large community within a community, it’s a wonderful way to live. From parents with young children to retired couples, there are all sorts of different activities to choose from. I just had a client that is closing escrow that chose Santaluz for all of these many factors.”

With over forty-four miles of open space, the 250-acre Rees

and Boz Skaggs are some of the top performers that have been featured at these summer concerts. This is yet another one of the surprising perks of being a Santaluz Club member.

And talk about “location”, consider these neighboring enclaves to Santaluz: Rancho Santa Fe and Fairbanks Ranch are just minutes away. The Pacific ocean is only 6.5 miles away, with easy access to top beach communities like Del Mar and Solana Beach. The 5, 56 and 15 freeways are all within minutes, making Santaluz an ideal location for almost any commute, including downtown San Diego.

Just like its ‘big brother”, Rancho Santa Fe, Santaluz homes are priced well beyond the million dollar price range. However, this being said, Santaluz is less expensive yet still offers much of the same lifestyle, amenities and prestige. In this market, there may just be a few ‘bargains’ to be had. Do your research, and don’t be afraid to ask a few Santaluz residents yourself. They’ll most likely tell you how they came to find Santaluz and realize their dream of living in such a beautiful place here in Southern California.

One thing is sure; they’ll be proud to call this ‘one of a kind’ community their very own.

Jones Championship Golf Course is also one of the main attractions to this community. There is a 19,000 square foot community center, a fitness facility, pool and gymnasium for residents. During the summer, there are live concerts on the Santaluz Village Green. Artists such as Kenny Loggins, Huey Lewis & The News

LUXURY HOME BUYING

thinking about moving up?

NOW is the time!

article by: By: Lisa Vomero Inouye & Zoraya de la Bastida

BUYING POWER, especially if you have the following: 1. Maintained a solid and high FICO credit score.

2. Do not currently own a home or bought a home more than 10 years ago.

3. Available cash reserves and/or equity for a new luxury home purchase.

So, now that you know why today is the perfect time to move up to and buy your dream home, what key concepts should you consider to help you get the most value for your money? In summary, here is a brief outline of what to look for when shopping for your new executive home besides location, location, location!

1. AMENITIES: For the ambience of luxury, consider all the amenities available within a community such as: a golf course, pool, spa, social clubs, tennis and equestrian facilities. These amenities often sway buyers in a positive direction when making that final decision between other, similar properties in the same zip code that offer less. They not only afford the best value; they also assure maximum upside resale value.

3. SAFETY: For the utmost luxury and sense of maximum privacy and security, insist on guard-gated entrances and staffed communities that also offer private and after hour security patrols, much like the Del Mar Country Club, Fairbanks Ranch, The Bridges, Crosby Estates, Cielo, Rancho Pacifica, Palacio Del Mar, The Heritage and Santaluz, to name a few.

3. SCHOOLS: Have you heard the news? Two distinct factors in today’s marketplace are making NOW the best time (in a long time) to move up into that luxury, executive, estate home you’ve always wanted.

For one, mortgage interest rates have not been this low in 50 years - yes, 50 years since they started tracking the data. Secondly, the sheer amount of housing inventory is HUGE, with record numbers of distressed and foreclosure properties - at all price points which was previously unheard of, especially in the upscale market.

Additionally, because these numbers continue to rise, home values continue to decrease, and the amount of people who can afford to move up shrinks. Thus, the basic principles of ‘supply and demand’ are set into motion, creating the perfect opportunity for low demand. What does all this mean (finally!)? It means low absorption rates, which will increase inventory. Next, the current low rates will produce renewed and MAXIMUM

THE PERFECT HOL I DAY

TABLE

SETTING article by: Donna Johnson

Fall is officially upon us and with this welcomed season of changing leaves and cooling temperatures come thoughts of family and friends gathered around the holiday table. With a little planning and even the tightest of budgets, a beautiful table setting will enhance any dinner party or social event.

From casual to elegant and classic to extravagant, the perfect table should be the focal point of your parties throughout the holiday season.

HERE ARE SOME SIMPLE STEPS TO SETTING THE PERFECT TABLE: Inspiration ~ Let everyday objects and memories be your inspiration. Inspiration can come from organic elements such as seashells and driftwood, a favorite painting of Tuscany drenched with golden sunflowers and rich red wines, or perhaps something as

to your settings. Fruit and cheese platters, colorful serving dishes, as well as spirited labeled wine bottles add both color and texture. Adding chair pads to casual and slipcovers to formal settings is another creative technique.

Centerpieces ~ When choosing a centerpiece, you will want to adorn your tabletop without obstructing the view of your dinner guests. Fresh flowers in low arrangements with tall candleholders are classic. To add a sense of casual, a simple vase with flowers will do. Candle holders come in a variety of materials and shapes, like the more casual wood and glass, while crystal exudes more elegance and formality.

Add interest by varying the height and quantity of your candle holders and centerpieces.

Tableware ~ You don’t need fine china to create a beautiful table setting. Local stores, such as Cost Plus World Market, carry an array of solid or patterned dinnerware that will serve any affair at a fraction of the cost. Be creative as you combine different looks, shapes and sizes that will layer your table and put your signature on the final creation.

Light ~ Don’t underestimate the power of light when planning your party. Nothing adds to the ambiance of your table setting more than candles. Set alone or in groupings, candles are the perfect source of subdued lighting to set the mood for a relaxed and comfortable conversation.

Props ~ Architectural elements bring a unique perspective to a table setting. Consider using an antique door in the background to create a sense of welcoming or an oversized framed mirror to reflect light and open a small space. Screens can be used to block an exposed dining area that is otherwise creating a more intimate area in which to dine.

These are just a few suggestions as you celebrate the season, but remember that your table setting should be a reflection of you! Whether casual or formal, it should embody your own distinctive personality and style, creating holiday gatherings that family and friends will long remember.

BETTER PERFORMANCE T H R O U G H T E C H N O LO G Y article by: Bill Feidler

All golfers, whether professional or amateur, seek out an array of sporting products to enhance their game. We’ll help you find your advantage in golf drivers, putters, balls and unique accessories. Enjoying some of the best courses in San Diego demands proper equipment, providing better performance through technology.

The past ten years have brought about huge advancements in

golf equipment. New materials, breakthrough designs and healthy competition among manufacturers have changed the game. The truth of the matter is that if you haven’t recently updated your set, you are rapidly falling behind. Below we outline a few new products with websites that are sure to add an injection of performance (and fun) to your game.

ADAMS GOLF, PRESENTS THE IDEA BLACK SUPER HYBRID If you are one of the few that has not embraced the hybrid movement, please pay close attention to the following. The Idea Black Super Hybrid advances way beyond long iron replacement. Bigger and more powerful, it’s a hybrid on steroids, markedly increasing ball speed and overall distance. A larger head, maraging steel face and increased shaft length combine to provide a jolt of power while maintaining playability. www.adamsgolf.com

BOCCIERI GOLF’S HEAVY WEDGE AND HEAVY PUTTER Improving your short game is the fastest way to lower scores. The ability to make a crucial putt or get up-anddown to save a shot is essential to being a good player.

Luckily, Boccieri Golf’s Heavy Wedge and Heavy Putter lines utilize strategically placed weight to automatically groove your swing and stroke to be more effective. An advocate of counter-weighting (added mass in the grip-end of the shaft) Boccieri Golf’s products move the club’s balance point closer to the body for easier and more natural control.

The result is fewer strokes on and around the green and a plummeting handicap. www.boccierigolf.com

Celebrating 12 years of Real Estate Experience.

My first introduction to real estate was working in my dad’s real estate office as a kid. Real Estate has always been a fit for me. I couldn’t wait to sell my first home! It’s been 12 years since, and I can honestly say my passion for selling homes is still growing strong. I can’t imagine doing anything else. I have my dream job and I am so grateful. Please allow me to do what I love by offering you a home evaluation today.

I love San Diego and currently live in La Jolla with my family including 2 kids.

I serve on the board of W.R.O.T.E ministries and volunteer throughout the local communities. Giving back is a big part of what I do and very important in my life.

flair with bold and daring colors. Some of my favorite work outfits incorporate footwear in bright colors adding a nice pop that can brighten any long work day.

Rule #4: Think Outside The Box, or in

This Case The Pantsuit Look to dresses to help add variety to your work ward-

robe. Dresses are the easiest way to get dressed quickly, and they make a stylish statement on their own. The dress is also a starting point for creating multiple outfits. For example, a dress can be worn with long sleeves layered under it, as a shirt tucked into pants, over pants as a tunic or even as a skirt by wearing a top over it.

Rule #5: Mix Texture and Patterns Experiment with textures, such as tweed pants worn with a silk blouse. Tweed is a great texture for work because it’s versatile and classic. Try mixing pinstripe and floral. A great pair of pinstripe pants worn with a modern floral cardigan and high waist leather belt exemplifies the art of mixing texture and patterns.

Rule #6: Add Print Don’t be afraid of print. A splashy floral or leopard print blouse worn under a suit jacket gives your work outfit a colorful yet feminine look. This may be the smallest part of your ensemble, but it can have the biggest impact. A dash of print will show your sense of style while still maintaining your professionalism.

Rule #7: Don’t Shy Away From Color When you have to wear suits that are black, gray or brown on a daily basis, it’s easy to shy away from color. Combine that with most women’s tendency to gravitate toward black and you’re stuck in a colorless rut. Adding a splash of color instantly adds personal style, not to mention, a sense of power.

Try red or purple, which have long signified power, and take note of how productive your work day is. Who knows, a promotion might just be on the way!

Rule #8: There Really Are No Rules Feel free to express yourself in ways in which you are most comfortable because you always look your best when you exude confidence. If that means breaking a rule or two, go for it. The rules are still here to guide you, get you out of the closet and on with your busy and successful life!

WHERE TO article by: HAROLD S. SMALL, J.D., AEP

Are you planning a birthday, anniversary or other celebratory occasion? If so, how do you select a restaurant where you are reasonably assured to enjoy a special meal? There are numerous guides in print and on the web. Those that quickly come to mind are Zagat, Michelin, Yelp and Opinionated About. But do you know how those critiquing organizations determine who wins and who loses? Are their ratings based on the opinions of experts or merely on how many internet “votes” they may have received from a restaurant’s employees, family members and friends?

If your goal is to enjoy wonderful meals, paired wines and superbly crafted beverages all in the company of chefs, restaurateurs, hoteliers and like-minded food lovers, there is another

answer; the Confrérie de la Chaîne des Rôtisseurs (“Chaîne”).

The What, you ask? Chaîne is the world’s oldest and largest international gastronomic society founded in Paris in 1248.

It was organized as a guild (union) of rotisserie chefs who cooked with a spit over an open flame when that was the norm. The organization was forced to disband during the French Revolution when many of the royals who employed the leading rotisserie chefs “lost their heads” over the revolt. It was revived in 1950, blending the honored traditions of the original guild with the contemporary techniques developed over the centuries that followed. The Chaîne also expanded its exclusive membership ranks (historically restricted to hospitality professionals) to include amateur gastronomes (foodies) like

$3,000,000 in scholarships have been awarded

since the Foundation was established.

San Diego’s professional members comprise less than half of the membership rosters of the two Bailliages, however, it reads like a Who’s-Who listing. Several media outlets have named these members and restaurants as the best: Jeffrey Strauss of Pamplemousse Grille, Bernard Guillas of The Marine Room, Bertrand Hug of Mille Fleurs and Bertrand at Mister A’s, Francis Perrot of Fairbanks Ranch Country Club, Carl Schroeder of Market and Bankers Hill, Pascal Vignau of Savory Casual Fare, John Beriker at the Inn at Rancho Santa Fe, Patrick Dahms at the Hilton San Diego Bayfront, Augie Saucedo at the Shores, Jesse Paul at the Park Hyatt Aviara and Paul McCabe of Kitchen 1540. It’s this type of name recognition that the Chaîne is known for and a reason the Chaîne Baillis restricts membership to “by invitation” only.

Upholding this tradition of excellence is what the Chaîne is all about.

If you are not a member of the Chaîne, you can still dine at their restaurants where they provide terrific dining opportunities day after day. When traveling, look for restaurants with a Chaîne affiliation. The simplest way is to look for the Chaîne Medallion generally displayed in a prominent location. Or review a list of affiliated restaurants/hotels on the Chaîne website at: www.chaineus.org

you and me. In its now 60 year old form (50 years in the U.S.), the Chaîne remains devoted to preserving the camaraderie and pleasures of the dining table by promoting excellence in all areas of the culinary arts.

Chaîne dinners are literally a gastronomic symphony where chefs create extraordinary cuisine in concert with vinicultural treasures crafted by some of the world’s finest vintners and heightened by meticulous service. This orchestration culminates in a crescendo of aromas, flavors and textures that can only be characterized as “Chaînetastic!”

The Chaîne has approximately 136 Bailliages (chapters) in the United States. Worldwide there are more than 300 chapters in 80 countries. From San Diego to New York, Chaîne dinners occur throughout the year at local, regional, national and international gatherings. Wherever they travel, Chaîne Members can participate in dinners all over the world.

San Diego will be the host city for the 50th Anniversary celebration of the establishment of the U.S. chapter. The national meeting will take place October 20 – 24, 2010 at the San Diego Marriott Hotel and Marina.

In addition to providing unique dining opportunities and wine tasting events, the Chaîne sponsors young chefs and sommeliers by hosting worldwide competitions. The Chaîne Foundation provides scholarships for young culinarians. About

Whether it’s for the summer bikini, the little black dress or the guy who wants abs instead of love handles, dieting

is a 24/7 year round sport. But, optimal fat loss does not have to be difficult and tortuous. By following this “3 Week Jump Start Plan”, you will maximize fat burning by boosting your metabolism and you WILL lose more weight and body fat than you ever dreamed possible.

Of dieters across the nation, an astounding 92% see their weight loss stall, or worse, they see pounds of fat sneak back onto their WHY this happened? food

body. Everyone who has ever “dieted” has had this happen. But do you know When you diet the wrong way, i.e., calorie cutting, your body thinks that so it hoards fat instead of burning it, and energizes with glycogen, a sugar - based fuel found in muscles. So, the more often you diet and constrict calories, the faster your body will shift into muscle burning / fat storing mode. Your body essentially stores fat and eats muscle for fuel, which lowers your metabolism in an attempt to save energy in preparation for a false, upcoming famine.

THE ANSWER: CARB - CYCLING: THE SECRET THAT TURNS FAT TO ENERGY. Whenever the muscle stores of glycogen are completely depleted (a process that takes 3-7 days), the body STOPS burning muscle and STARTS burning stored fat as fuel.

According to the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, “the body burns fat cells around the belly, hips and butt first.” Surprisingly, it’s actually very easy to diminish glycogen stores; you simply have to restrict carbohydrate intake. I know what you are thinking “Great! There goes all the food that I enjoy”. Not so, because once glycogen stores have been depleted, cravings for sugar, breads or pastas diminish pretty quick. The carbohydrate sugars from these foods supply the glucose from which muscle glycogen is derived.

Cutting these types of carbohydrates for at least three days depletes the muscles’ glycogen stores and forces the body to use fat for fuel.

But, you have to be careful. The body is hyper-sensitive to calorie
