Bella Vista at Four Seasons Resort The Biltmore Santa Barbara
Online Reservations
Food is very good and ambiance very nice, especially seating at the terrace.
We love this place for lunch because all of us live north, south and east of it's location,it's our perfect meet up spot. When we are there, even for just lunch and not guests of the hotel, we are treated like royalty. The food is really perfect. I had a citrus lobster salad that was REALLY good. My only comment about the service, that while it was extremely attentive and friendly the food took a long time to get to us, and it wasn't really that crowded. But it was not a problem enough that I wouldn't go back there. I really recommend it. It sits on the most beautiful part of the Santa Barbara coastline.
I did sooo appreciate the care and respect given by your staff to my elderly parents who are both in wheelchairs ..the servers were patient and attentive .. Oftentimes I feel that they are given little respect and often overlooked on the service .. Thank you for a most enjoyable luncheon !
I highly recommend this restaurant for a romantic dinner. Sit out on the patio with a beautiful view of the ocean complete with heaters and fire pit. My food wasn't the best I've ever had but was presented beautifully and the atmosphere made up for it.
We love going to the 4 Seasons Biltmore after a walk on Butterfly beach. Great food,ambience, and service. It is one of our local favorites...especially at sunset!
outstanding mussels. soup also great. More variety would be nice. friendly waiter
The staff was very attentive and there was a wide variety of food offered at the brunch. The food was pretty good but the desserts were both beautiful and delicious! However, be aware of the cost before you go - $155 for two people. This is a nice hotel and restaurant but charging $75 for the brunch is a little over the top.
Outdoor dining is more popular than indoor, when we arrived, the dining room was almost empty, but the patio was near full. We sat outside and enjoyed a meal at sunset. The ambiance was very nice, romantic and relaxing, with a lovely view of the ocean. We greatly enjoyed the dishes we tried, which were: Starters: Roasted Sweetbreads: wonderfully savory Kobe meatballs: delicious, though a tad salty Entrees: Chorizo and mussel rigatoni: Delicious with a spicy kick Grilled local halibut: Very good with a nice bit of sweetness from the citrus Dessert: Coffee and donuts, just melt in your mouth good The service with attentive and friendly without being overwhelming, and we had a wonderful time.
The view (outdoor seating) at Sunset is the most romantic, beautiful experience. Combine that with great food and wine options and you get a superb experience! Very attentive staff. The indoor dining is a very pleasant experience as well. A must experience while in the area.
Had a lovely dinner on the patio on our first eve in Santa Barbara. The service was outstanding... adding heat lamps for us and also notifying my hubby that he had a mark on his sports coat from a recent bird dropping that we didn't see. She even came out with a cloth to remove it for us. We would return based on the service and relaxing ambience alone, but the food was good as well. Probably the best carpaccio we ever ate! The inside dining room looked equally appealing as well as the bar area.
Really nice lunch for all. Food was terrific and ambience felt very special. Didn't want to leave!
Request to sit on the outside patio and you will enjoy a great view of the pacific. Fire pit in the center to keep you warm and amazing service. We ordered a bottle of champagne and our glasses were always being topped off. We started with grilled octopus (not the best I've had, but still good), then ordered the organic chicken and a salmon special. The food was good, especially the warm focaccia with fresh ricotta. We ended with the chocolate soufflé and it was divine. Romantic yet subtle, will definitely return!
We had a fantastic time celebrating my daughter's graduation. Ambiance is fantastic, ocean view dining is remarkable. Perfect for special occasions. Service is excellent. Food was ok; nothing extraordinary but acceptable.
Our dinner was delicious and you simply can't beat the amazing ocean view from the patio. The wait staff was very friendly, efficient and attentive. I would definitely recommend this for a special occasion!
a special occasion, outside seating on the patio, certainly one of the most beautiful locations in Santa Barbara! The service is extraordinary, the food is not, but there are several things on the menu that are quite enjoyable! Our waiter checked with the chef and we were able to order our favorite dish off the lunch menu, the seafood Cobb salad, which is so nice on a warm summer evening! We dine out frequently, there are so many restaurants in SB, Montecito & Carpinteria, where the food excels, but they pale in comparison with the overall beautiful experience we receive at the Biltmore, how fortunate we are to live in Santa Barbara and have so many wonderful choices to satisfy whatever you desire on any particular day!
Since Mr. Warner took over the Four Seasons it has been consistent and teriffic.
Good food, great view, courteous staff. Surprised at the three screaming babies at 8pm dinner seating in main dining room on a Friday night.
Took a special lady on our first date to Bella Vista. It all began when I made the reservation on line. I was able to ask for a romantic booth, away from people, inside, and with a view of the ocean. I was delighted to have been seated in the very place I requested. Our server, Steven was amazing. He was friendly, appropriately conversational, and gave us great recommendations for different foods to try. We spent over 2 hours simply enjoying each others company and Steven and the staff were wonderfully accomodative and respectful of our privacy. The food was fantastic. Not one negative. At the end of our meal we walked out onto the patio where Steven snapped a few pictures to commemorate our visit. Just a wonderful experience.
I brought a friend here for her birthday. The food choices are endless & the quality is like no other. The service at all the stations was fantastic! The eggs benedict, meat selection & quality is beyond outstanding! The waffles are to die for & the crispy bacon amazing! The desserts so yummy! What can one say? Atmosphere is beautiful! It is set up to be beautiful for friends & family or even for a romantic couple. Service in all aspects is fabulous! This is by far the best brunch ever! I hope to be back to show others how fantastic it is! I absolutely love this place! An experience I want to re-live over & over again! Thank you for the fabulous service & fantastice food!
I was celebrating my birthday with friends and decided on the Bella Vista. What a great decision. Our sea food Cobb salads were delicious,perfect amount of dressing. sea foods was fresh and tastie. Our waiter was helpful and very nice. I will keep coming back next time I am in the area. The view is fabulous!! Lovely ambience. Everything was perfection,including the breakfast the next morning
Fabulous for an intimate birthday celebration and for making any meal a celebration Thank you
Sit outside on the gracious patio, watch the sunset, relish the warm hospitality and gorgeous setting of the Biltmore Hotel and savor a fine meal. We have brought here our young grandchildren (8, and 7) (one at a time) ordering from the reasonably priced menu for children and have taken much pleasure in their appreciation of the surroundings. Last time we ordered the pasta with scallops, shrimp and it was delicious (superior to our chicken dish). I loved their ahi tuna appetizer but it is no longer on the menu
We knew going in the prices would be high, but the customer service and attention to detail, along with the incredibly beautiful view, made it all more than worth it for a special birthday celebration! We will definitely go again next time we're in town!!
Celebrated with my in laws their 60th Anniversary. Can't beat the breathtaking view. Food and service excellent
We brought a friend, visiting from Ireland, lunch outside on the patio was magnificent!! We always bring visitors to the Biltmore for lunch, the setting cannot be beat & the lunch menu appeals to everyone, as usual the weather could not have been more extraordinary!
We celebrated our wedding by eating lunch here and would recommend this restaurant for any type of special occasion. The brunch is a must. Pick a table outside with a view to the water, or stay indoors and enjoy the dining room with its ceiling of skylights. It's almost as bright indoors as outdoors, so you really can't go wrong.
I highly recommend! EVERYTHING was wonderful: the sweet staff, the food, THE VIEW sitting on the terrace! The prices were very reasonable as well. A must if you are in the area.
Order from the menu unless you are REALLY hungry. Or if you want to drink alcohol get the buffet. Either way the food is superb. You won't be disappointed.
Great food,service and ambiance. Wonderful for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Lovely.
Each year we come to the Bella Vista to celebrate our anniversary (as we got engaged along the beach right in front of the hotel many years ago). And each year we continue to have a fantastic day. Good wine, good food, good friends. All in all, a fantastic way to spend an afternoon enjoying one of the most spectacular views along the coast.
Great service, as one could expect from the Four Seasons. Menu is fairly traditional, overall, but everything is expertly prepared and offers a good variety of options to suit most diners. Ingredients were all very high quality and dishes were all well-balanced. Pacing of the meal was excellent - we were never rushed, nor did we ever wait for anything. Worth waiting for a table out on the terrace if you have the time - the view and fresh air are great.
We usually go to the Biltmore for our special occasions, I.e., anniversary, birthday, guests and when family comes to S.B.. In other words, we seem to come up with almost any excuse to go to the Biltmore.
Wonderful food, great ambience and personable staff made our experience great
WE had a wonderful evening at Bella Vista. Service was the very best. We asked for some different kind of things and she totally took care of us perfectly.
We had dinner at the Bella Vista on a Saturday night, early, for the sunset. The view is very nice, over a lawn to the Pacific. There are many tables with a nice view. Everything is quietly elegant, good service, and heaters put out without asking as the sun set. It was an enjoyable evening. The food, at that price level, was really not up to par, but on the other hand, not annoying. The sweetbreads were oversalted, and the sauce, tasty, but too strong for them. I suspect a sauce prepared elsewhere. My mother's ravioli were dry and not well spiced. I had veal scalopini which were too thick, overcooked and underspiced. The drinks were outstanding.
The service, the food and the ambiance is great. Altough it is a very luxury hotel, the resturant atmosphere was casual, which made us feel even more at pleasure. All the waiters and staff were very nice and service was great. It was my wedding anniversary and we were surprised with a special desert, which I think was very nice from the restaurant. Our table was outside, as I requested. I certainly recommend to special ocasions, couples and families.
The food was excellent, very accomodating staff and the atmosphere is the best. Loved it.
My wife and I took her parents here during their visit and, as usual, we had an amazing time at Bella Vista (one of the most aptly named restaurants around). The veal scallopini is worth the trip itself as it is a generous portion of perfectly cooked meat expertly seasoned. The salmon was buttery and delicious and their entire menu from appetizers to primi (pasta) dishes to the entrees is replete with outstanding food. Dessert is heavenly, the view is breathtaking and the service is impeccable. This is an excellent choice.
Superb food and service, incredibly nice staff, knowledgeable of their wines. We go out a lot and are familiar with the LA high dining scene, but Bella Vista is outstanding in every aspect, a real gem, complete with the most romantic atmosphere one can dream of. What really stands out though is their impeccable service and their friendly yet professional staff. They reserved a table for us on their lovely terrace (it was sunset, which made for the most surreal view, accompanied by the sound of the ocean waves breaking on the nearby shore) and at the end of our dinner they surprised us with a few chocolate-dipped strawberries on a plate that had the 'happy anniversary' inscription on it, written in chocolate. That really moved us both...
This was my husband and my first stay at the Four Seasons, Biltmore, in Montecito. Sitting out on the warm patio with the fire pit and heaters, looking at the flaming red sunset on our first evening, it was as if we had found heaven on earth. Then our super charming waiter, Ricardo, brought us food that made us realize it was heaven with a great chef. Dinners were superb, and breakfast - buffet or sit down - is excellent. It is, not surprisingly, very pricey, but worth it. On our next stay, we will probably venture into Santa Barbara or Montecito Village for some meals. But we will not miss out on enjoying at least at least one breakfast and two dinners in this special place.
We dined at Bella Vista in honor of our first anniversary. The staff welcomed us back and were so kind! We greatly appreciate their efforts in making the evening special. The food was excellent, and the view is amazing!! For dessert, they presented us with a "Happy Anniversary" themed treat! We will certainly be back next time we are staying at The Four Seasons, The Biltmore and look forward to the occasion.
Bella Vista is right - beautiful view! Our lunch on the outdoor patio was lovely - - service was perfect. Bring your AMEX card - you pay for the view - but there is a lot to be said for a leisurely lunch at the four seasons blltmore. Bowl of soup is least exp. item on the menu at $10.00 - to give you an idea.
The views at sunset are breath-taking (outside dining). Chef's creations are superb! All fresh local ingredients. Everything on menu is delicious! Wine list is very good. Love the local options. Service is extremely attentive.
Disappointed that they no longer have seafood buffet
What more can you ask for... Outside dining with a few of the ocean, fireplace pit a glow, attentive wait staff and lovely array of Brunch delights made for a very enjoyable experience. Thanks will come back
Me and my guest could not have asked for a finer experience! Great food, service & a warm & sunny million dollar view! Derrick, the restaurant manager was fantastic & very accommodating. I had the Sea Bass which could not have been finer! Venue was perfect for a Monday afternoon lunch!
This was the absolute best brunch I've ever been to! Not only was the food amazing but the view from the outside patio was outstanding! It was so good that we bought our entire family gift certificates to the brunch for Christmas!
We were disappointed in the dinner considering the price. Turkey was dry, we had a reservation at 8 pm and told at 10 minutes til 9 the buffet closes in 10 minutes. We were taking our time to enjoy the ocean sounds and views.
We had six in our party, 4 adults 2 children. We arrived a bit early for our reservation and there was absolutely no problem in being seated. All of the employees were more than gracious they make you feel they were waiting on you and your party exclusively. Once seated we headed for the brunch line and were overwhelmed with the amount and diversity of the offerings. Everything we tried was delicious, I had mentioned to my wife that even if it took 4 hours I was going to try everything on the menu. Starting with the salad station, to the soup station, I then went to my favourite which is the Seafood station. I made two trips to this station. I of course then went on to the rest. two hours and I was stuffed.
Excellent service and very good food for Sunday Brunch. The ambiance and relaxing atmosphere makes for an excellent experience as always.

The Official Online RBS 6 Nations Store is open. The store has everything you need to get behind your team during the RBS 6 Nations, plus the store is now fully stocked with a much wider range of rugby merchandise.
But after featuring for Munster A last week the 33-year-old is in the Munster team that will take on Connacht this weekend.
And with less than two months to secure a spot on the plane to Australia Gatland admits that the captain of the 2009 tour to South Africa is still very much in the reckoning.
"The older players with a bit more experience have the upper hand because they have that behind them, don't they?" Gatland told the Irish Examiner.
"We know a lot about Paul O'Connell. We know what he brings to the party so we will be keeping a pretty close eye on him."
Ireland's RBS 6 Nations was decimated by injuries with the likes of O'Connell and Tommy Bowe missing the whole tournament while Simon Zebo, Jonny Sexton and Gordon D'Arcy to name but three, picked up knocks during the Championship.
But Gatland is adamant that players will be given every chance to prove their fitness before making his final decision.
"Someone like Tommy Bowe, if he gets back from injury, Dan Lydiate as well," he added.
"There is a young, talented player in Simon Zebo - is he going to run out of time? We'll keep a close eye on these sort of players over the next six weeks."

Defense Acquisitions:
Assessments of Selected Weapon Programs
GAO-10-388SP, Mar 30, 2010
Additional Materials:
- Podcast:

(937) 258-7915
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
This is GAO's eighth annual assessment of selected Department of Defense (DOD) weapon programs. The report examines how well DOD is planning and executing its weapon acquisition programs, an area that has been on GAO's high-risk list since 1990. This year's report is in response to the mandate in the joint explanatory statement to the DOD Appropriations Act, 2009. The report includes (1) observations on DOD's efforts to manage its portfolio of major defense acquisition programs; (2) an assessment of the knowledge attained by key junctures in the acquisition process for a subset of 42 weapon programs from the 2009 portfolio; (3) data on other factors that can affect program execution; and (4) examples of how DOD is implementing recent acquisition reforms. To conduct the assessment, GAO analyzed data on the composition of DOD's portfolio of major defense acquisition programs. GAO did not analyze the cost and schedule performance of the portfolio because DOD did not issue timely or complete Selected Acquisition Reports for the second consecutive presidential transition. GAO expects to resume its portfolio analysis in next year's assessment. GAO also collected data from program offices on technology, design, and manufacturing knowledge, as well as on other factors that can affect program execution. GAO analyzed this data and compiled one- or two-page assessments of 70 weapon programs.
In 2009, the Secretary of Defense proposed canceling or significantly curtailing weapon programs with a projected cost of at least $126 billion. Congress supported several of the recommended terminations. DOD plans to develop new options to replace several of the canceled programs. The most significant of these will be the effort to restructure the Army's terminated Future Combat System program. At the same time, DOD's 2009 portfolio of major defense acquisition programs grew to 102 programs--a net increase of 6 since last year. DOD did not issue complete Selected Acquisition Reports for these programs in 2009, which precluded an analysis of the overall cost and schedule performance of DOD's portfolio in this year's assessment. For 42 programs GAO assessed in depth, there has been continued improvement in the technology, design, and manufacturing knowledge programs had at key points in the acquisition process. However, most programs are still proceeding with less knowledge than best practices suggest, putting them at higher risk for cost growth and schedule delays. A majority of programs have also experienced requirements changes, software development challenges, or workforce issues, or a combination, which can affect program stability and execution. DOD has begun to implement a revised acquisition policy that addresses many of these areas. For example, seven programs we examined in technology development plan to test competitive prototypes before starting system development, and nine programs plan to hold early systems engineering reviews. If DOD consistently applies this policy, the number of programs adhering to a knowledge-based acquisition should increase and the outcomes for DOD programs should improve.

To find this great route, please follow the directions to get to the [Headstone]. At the base of the [Headstone], approximately center of the face (right of [Topaz] approx 100 ft), there are 2 bolted slab routes just to the right of a right facing flake. The left route of these is the 5.9 slab route that approaches the awesome looking 12d stemming route on the upper headwall. The righthand bolted route is [Scratchy Face]. Move up easy rock with good holds, sometimes through slightly wet or dirty material. The climbing steadily gets more difficult. After approximately 4 or 5 bolts, the moves will get more tenuous as you gun for a ledge/stance. When you gain the stance, spend some time looking at the gorgeous laser cut slab in front of you, and try to piece together a series of pinches and toe work on little crystals and edges to get you to the next ledge. This bit, while only being 10b, will have you focusing pretty intensely! When you have reached the good ledge, above you will be a flake-roof. Getting established at the roof is a bit more difficult than it looks. My partner went left on small face holds to get there. I went slightly right and pinched the roof-flake and pulled into an undercling. In either case, be aware of the lichen on the face or you will be hanging on the end of the rope faster than you can blink. Pull the roof via the usual slab overlap techniques and head to the anchors on the big ledge. Descent: Several options. With two ropes, rappel to ground from anchors. With a 60 meter rope, you can rap to about 15 feet above the ground and downclimb. Other option, walk climber's right on the ledge to a large block with a wide crack. Climb up the block to some anchors on the main wall. Rap from these anchors down 50 feet to another set of anchors. Rap from second set of anchors to ground.
Approximately 13 bolts and anchors.
The ledge that you stand on underneath the roof mentioned above is really a giant flake. The left 3-4 feet has broken off and is just teetering (literally) on the remaining flake below. It might be worth cleaning this extremely loose block although it is left of where anyone would really want to go on this climb, but I stepped on it nevertheless.
I have to point out that crux slab section, reached before the roof, seems somewhat tricky for 10b. You will have to think through this for a while and there are no feet to speak of. The hands are micro crimpers and an angular crystal about 5mm wide that you must pinch twixt thumb and forefinger. The section is very slabby though. To reach the jug under the roof, I too found a small undercling in the lowest portion of the roof flake and walked the feet up for a couple of layback moves to reach the jug. Then pulling the roof isn't terribly tricky. The jug can also be reached by slab climbing, which may be necessary for shorter people, but the slab looked pretty thin to me. You can rappel or lower with a 60m rope, but it doesn't reach the ground so be sure to tie knots. Downclimbing the last 10' is easy.
10b ... yeah, sure! I've changed it to 10d.
The anchor on top of this route was fixed on 8/30/06. Previously it had standard flat hangers with one quick link per hanger. This setup will DESTROY your rope. There is now one cold shut and one regular hanger with 2 quick links.
Watch out for the rope eating flake left of this route - esp if the winds are blowing from the south.
Felt a bit tougher than Topaz, but maybe I'm just out of slab climbing shape.
Based on the 10a rating in Tod's guidebook, we thought this was the biggest sandbag in the history of climbing. Good to see that the consensus on MP.com calls this route a bit harder. Thought the slabbly headwall on this pitch was more difficult than the 11s on Crimpfest. I would call pulling the roof solid at the grade for 10a
Agree, a sandbag at 5.10b. I actually find the blank face preceding the overhang to be the crux. Head right to easier climbing.... Straight up thru here probably goes at 11+. The overhang turns at 10b. This climb is well bolted, so if you are comfortable on 5.10 and wanting to push it a bit, hop on.
So, having climbed this quite a few times, it finally felt 10b the last time I was on it. The trick is to cut right 6-7 ft at the slab crux, and this becomes more 10b-ish, otherwise I completely agree with 10d.
Going straight up off the top of the flake into the roof felt pretty hard. The bolt is placed really low here, so it doesn't offer the best protection from landing on the flake. You will probably want your belayer paying attention here. The rockover up above is kind of tricky, too.

I watched the first Harry Potter movie, Harry Potter and the Sorceror's Stone, when I was maybe 8 or 9, I can't remember. I did not like it at all. I felt it was too much to keep up with and just boring. (I remember thinking the big plot twist was that Snape was actually the centaur and he was the epitome of good that would kill Voldemort. Boy, was I wrong.) Having not enjoyed the first movie, I gave up on Harry Potter, not caring when people talked about it and having no desire to watch any of the other movies or waste my time reading the books.
Then on a 10th grade field trip to Washington D.C., I saw the girl I had liked my enitre high school career reading the 7th book. I decided then that I should read the books, and that summer that is exactly what I did. I read all the books in about a month, and since then have reread them all multiple times and seen all the movies. I even wrote a Thesis about Harry Potter. I fell hard for the loveable little wizard.
And now, in approximately 5 hours, it all will end.
I felt silly feeling this emotional about a simple ending to a saga. I mean, it's just a movie, right? But I realized it's not just that my favorite story is officially ending, it's that I'm realizing I have to grow up, timess have to change, and stories have to end. And I believe that is what many people my age are feeling right now. My generation grew up with these stories. They loved them from their first publish in 1997 and now they are going to see their beloved characters for the last time.
Just as Harry, Ron, and Hermione did, the kids who followed thier awkward adolescent stages grew up. We now have to realize that everything has to end. People have to grow up. Things must change. It is a way of life. Without change, we can have no progress. But alot of us are afraid of change. We don't want our characters to be done, because then we are forced out of our comfort zone and into a strange new territory where Harry Potter isn't a reality. We don't want to face change because we are scared of the unknown.
So I want to say thank you Harry Potter. I want to thank you for all the enjoyment, all the lessons, and all the fun. But now it is time for us to go our seperate ways. It's time to change and grow. Its time to accept and embrace the unknown and hope it is as kind to me as you were.

Crime -- good morning in three weeks before Christmas very low volume modest gain for the Dow thirteen 1070.
Now do you remember that story we brought to follow us on Wednesday morning last week eleven states all in a death spiral.
So is that an article in -- magazine those of the sites that are on the screen.
They're in such bad financial shape the bill Baldwin who wrote the article suggested that would.
Death spiral applies while William Baldwin is -- right now we welcome program.
Welcome and didn't mean to cause any panic you know -- you didn't cause panic -- a lot of interest -- -- that really stood things up but you know it.
Well I got several hundred comments on this story not all of them favorable effect it took -- problem with something like this OK great so we're gonna sell our beautiful beach house in Malibu California.
And moved to Bismarck and within a ten print whether they're right back up LS I'm not kind of what I was saying if you had to move that wasn't that at all what I was saying is.
Don't buy -- in California -- don't put your business that.
I don't movie business what that this is already there if you get a job offer from Google and it's in Silicon Valley take it just wrap house don't -- -- okay.
Now what's -- offs of the -- -- what is driving what you -- deaths while.
There -- a lot of economic factors that are built into this but the essential one in my view is whether they're -- war what I call and I know this is that contentious word.
More takers and makers you know and I don't mean that the takers are bad people I'm assuming and my article that every single person drawing money from the state government.
As an employee as a state employee who's retired.
Or as they deserve it and -- welfare recipient is indeed title.
That's not the point the point is what happens when you chase out the private sector jobs that support all that spending account got that now -- boil it down.
One of the -- on -- and companies always been for years instance he's -- this week cannot afford to pay the state woke up pensions in many states which we have promised to.
Is that of the heart of the best -- article as one of the contributing factors and when they visit Illinois is a big the biggest okay.
Now most of these states pay the money that they promised to pace the Fed to -- must night.
In most cases mostly that's true.
The reason is it is not fair and it may be even unconstitutional.
To take away a pension that's already been -- best just that but there are ways to cope with this crisis -- the states -- addressing what they could be -- They could stop credited new years of service they could put not just new employees but existing employees it to a 41 K plan which is well -- -- what you have that as what I had to put existing employees and to that.
Yes that's a real -- change it will is not a sharp is taking away something that there's ordered the current which I don't think you can do I don't think that's fair.
OK so right so if I'm I state.
Prison guard in California.
And I've been promised a great pension up -- put in thirty years and I -- in fifteen years right you can take away half my pension but not the half -- -- here.
For the remaining fifteen years put me up world want tapes of their oss solutions it's not a death spiral if the politicians take the right action especially in regards to state look at pensions this can be done you telling me.
I think there's a way to stay in California and -- -- great states great letter.
To North Carolina sense of fiscal responsibility so why they're not doing it that what you know -- bill c'mon you know you know that in California the unions would and in Illinois the -- would never -- For the kind of steps that you'll talk about -- The bulls that's been done anywhere is to put new employees -- -- -- 401K plan and that's not even happen in California you're not answering my question you know perfectly well the unions would not stand for with the they have a supermajority the unions do right.
It is that answers the question yeah well I hasn't slowed down far right won't stand -- death spiral stands -- -- that was bad at all you come -- -- -- again thank you -- another article like that what you've -- back.

Ready for that elliptical trainer indoor rowing machine, or one of those "insta-fit" workout machines that you turn the dial, press the button, (oh wait, put on the anti-radiation glasses first), now press the button and feel the the surge of power. After every use you glow a spectacular greenish-orange for a few hours, (always a hit at introvert parties). For some reason I heard it also cinches job interviews at Waffle House, but not at Mc D's; maybe it has to do with their proprietary secret sauce formula. Anyway how about an elliptical trainer?
Surprise me! Something it never occurred to me that I wanted.

Posted: 2:49 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 21, 2012
Wheels Editor
Give Chrysler some credit. In an era of shared platforms and cloned styling, my tester for the week, the 2013 Dodge Avenger SE, distinguishes itself from others in the gelatinous mid-size segment. The fact that it manages to have some personality, and maintain an affordable price tag is fantastic.
The Avenger's bunk mate in the Chrysler household is the Chrysler 200, but there is little family resemblance. Instead, the Avenger does have some familial traits of other Dodge cars including the identifiable grille, as well as some of the muscle-focused look of the Charger. You'll notice a definite family resemblance to the Charger in the rear fender and extended wheel wells of the Avenger.
Inside, the Avenger has a simple interior that is not as sporty as the Charger or as luxurious as the Chrysler 200. It is worth noting that the materials used inside the 2013 Avenger are updated from previous generations. Soft-touch materials on both the door panels and the dashboard are appreciated and give the Avenger a more current feel.
A tilt/telescoping steering column, heated front seats and LED lighting also provide an updated appeal. Chrysler's easy-to-use Uconnect system makes connecting and interacting with mobile devices easy and offers hands-free, voice activated commands for safe driving.
Because it's a Dodge, you expect nice performance from the engine. And this current model delivers with a 3.6-liter V6 Pentastar engine with a six-speed automatic transmission. With this bigger engine, the Avenger delivers 283-horsepower, while offering smooth shifting and controlled torque. It's not a jackrabbit off the line, but will more than hold its own in all driving conditions.
The front-wheel drive Avenger hangs with the mid-size competition, and throws just enough muscle around to differentiate itself.
The Avenger has four trims, with two different engines, including a smaller 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine. The base SE (available as a 4-cylinder or a V6), the SXT and the top-of-the-line R/T offer various options from basic cloth seats, to leather-trimmed seats and numerous other amenities.
Fuel economy for the Avenger is average, especially for the V6 engine, where the SE has a government rating of 19 city and 29 highway.
In a week's worth of driving, I averaged 25.6 MPG. It's worth noting that the 4-cylinder engine has an EPA rating of 21 city and 30 highway, so there's not a lot of difference in fuel economy in order to get more power. I'd recommend the larger engine, so you can fully enjoy the Avenger.
The basic SE starts at $18,995 putting it near the top of the mid-size segment in affordability. Even decked out with the bigger engine and optional packages like a spoiler, heated front seats and all-season tires, my tester had a total price of $23,825. The top-of-the-line R/T is priced just over $25,000, so the consumer can still feel like they're getting more for less.
The 2013 Dodge Avenger is a mid-size sedan that seems comfortable in its own skin.
With distinguished looks, upgraded interior materials and a capable engine, the Avenger is able to remain viable in the ultra-competitive mid-size segment.

Survey of Energy Resources 2007
Solar Country Notes
The archipelago of Indonesia comprises over 17 000 islands (according to the latest count using satellite mapping) of which approximately 6 000 are inhabited. Difficulties in extending the national grid across the islands to the widely dispersed population meant that in 1995 only about 58% of the country's 62 000 villages were electrified. Historically, areas that could not be supplied with conventional electricity from the national grid have relied upon hydro-electricity and stand-alone diesel generators to power mini-grids, or used kerosine for lighting.
Indonesia's situation close to the equator and its daily average insolation level - estimated at 5 kWh/m2 - make it highly suitable for the installation of solar energy devices, especially for the huge rural population and in remote areas.
Both solar thermal and solar PV applications have been installed throughout the country, estimated in 2004 to total about 5 MW. Most of the solar thermal installations are used for domestic water heating, agriculture or crop drying and cooking. Solar PV systems are used at community centres for lighting, pumping and at health centres for the refrigeration of medicines.
Under the National Plan for PV, the indigenous manufacture of photovoltaic modules will be developed, the utilisation of PV systems in both rural and urban areas will be increased and the mechanism for grid-connected PV will be established.
Although the use of renewable energy is, at present, fairly limited, the Government plans to increase its share. The National Energy Policy states that by 2025 renewable energy will provide 17% of the energy mix (of which biomass, nuclear, hydro, solar, wind and coal bed methane will supply 5%).

Democratizing Business Communications Through The Collaboration Cloud This post is sponsored by CIO Collaboration Network and Avaya. In my previous post I wrote about the importance of collaboration in modern business and postulated about possible reasons behind it. Today, I am going to explore a related topic – communications. Now, effective communication is the key to effective collaboration, which we have already discussed, is the key to business success. However, modern businesses face several challenges in this critical area. "Man is by nature a social animal," wrote Greek philosopher Aristotle more than 2,000 years ago. While it's as true today as it was then, technology
Cloud Collaboration: The Explosion Of Human Knowledge The Power of Me We This post is sponsored by the CIO Collaboration Network and Avaya. "Are you a team player?" – If you've interviewed for any position in the last five years, chances are you would have heard this question. But have you ever wondered what has made teamwork more important in business over the last few years? Why is collaboration between people (Power of We) more valued over individual brilliance today (Power of Me)? I believe that the growing importance of teamwork in business can be traced back to two phenomena – one, the explosion of human knowledge
The Collaborative Cloud An organization is essentially a collection people of who work together towards a common goal, which means that collaboration is the essence of an organization. With the changing tides in business and end-user practices, it is becoming apparent that the influence of cloud computing is expanding, and that it is definitely here to stay for the foreseeable future. The cloud computing paradigm is changing business processes, revolutionizing how organizations communicate within the internal business environment, emphasizing the importance of collaboration with external stake holders, and transforming the way people work together. Thus, the need for hosted unified

Strategic Mindset: Market Neutral with possibilities of Surges in Volatility.
Target: VXX trading at $21.05
Commit Criteria: The recent market turmoil has uncovered a large number of risks and exposed the markets to a significant drop. Over the next few weeks I don't expect many new issues to pop up, but we will need to be careful. I have left a fair amount of room for VXX to rise, but caution is still needed.
VXX Implied Volatility is overpriced relative to its forecast volatility of 15.06% over the trade period. We are looking for possible price movement but for it to stay within its $17.00 to $26.00 price range until the exit of this trade.
Tactic: Opening 20 VXX June 2012 Iron Condors (strikes [14/17/26/29]) for a $0.55 credit
Tactical Employment of Iron Condor:
- Buying to Open 20 VXX Jun 2012 $29.00 Calls
- Selling to Open 20 VXX Jun 2012 $26.00 Calls
- Selling to Open 20 VXX Jun 2012 $17.00 Puts
- Buying to Open 20 VXX Jun 2012 $14.00 Puts
- Net Credit: $55.00 per Iron Condor for a total of $1100.00
- Max Gain: $1100.00
- Max Risk: -$245.00 per Iron Condor for a total risk of -$4900.00
Mid-Course Guidance:
We will be watching for a price movement near the short strikes. As the short strikes are threatened we will adjust the Iron Condor as necessary.
We don't want trade expectancy dropping below 2.00%. Based on this we have two price targets at which we need to consider an adjustment. VXX trading below $17.95 and above $23.46 are triggers for adjustment.
Profitability Target:
We will wait for this Iron Condor to expire worthless taking the $1100.00 credit as profit.
Exit Tactic: We will wait for this Iron Condor to expire worthless, adjusting as necessary.
Additional disclosure: We are looking to enter this position in our Advanced Model Portfolio at Top Gun Options

Function Sponsored by
At in-cosmetics 2012 in Bangkok, Thailand, Lipotec introduced a hexapeptide manufactured by its peptide brand Aimtec that attenuates neurogenic inflammation to relieve itch and discomfort in sensitive skin. Delisens (Proposed INCI: Butylene Glycol (and) Water (aqua) (and) Citric Acid (and) Acetyl Hexapeptide-46) diminishes the pro-inflammatory mediators released by proteinase-activated receptor 2 (PAR-2) to reduce inflammation and its associated discomfort. It also helps restore barrier function and provides a photoprotective effect to prevent future inflammation.
PAR-2 activation (endogenously by trypsin-like serine proteases) amplifies imflammation via the up-regulation of inflammatory mediators such as interleukin-6 (IL-6) and interleukin-8 (IL-8) in addition to inducing transient receptor potential vanilloid-1 (TRPV-1) sensitization, leading to the release of inflammatory peptide calcitonin gene-related peptide and supstance P (SP) also involved in neurogenic inflammation. Furthermore, activated PAR-2 delays barrier function recovery due to scratching after contact with chemicals like allergens.
By down-regulating PAR-2 activity, the hexapeptide solution reduces the release of CRGP, IL-6 and IL-8 from skin cells. This activity mediates neurogenic inflammation, thereby reducing the pain, discomfort and itching associated with sensitive skin. The hexapeptide also helps restore damaged tissue integrity, aiding the re-epithelization and repair of damaged skin.
In addition to the above main actions, the hexapeptide solution was also found to hydrate dry skin, making skin smoother and softer.
The product appears as a transparent solution with 0.025% active. It is soluble in glycols. The hexapeptide solution is recommended at 2-5% in daily skin care formulations and any formulation for sensitive skin where a soothing and repairing effect is needed.
Cosmetics & Toiletries' Complete Cosmetic Chemist Training Program offers a Beginning Cosmetic Chemistry course which shows you how to create, copy and test almost any cosmetic formula.
A great start for new chemists or formulators who are moving from one product category to another.

Iain Duncan Smith admitted today to major changes and delays in his plans to introduce a single "universal credit" but insisted that his flagship welfare reform remained on track. The Work and Pensions Secretary faces a grilling from MPs today after conceding last week that the universal credit programme would miss its 2017 deadline despite repeated assurances that the project would come in on time and on budget. Mr Duncan Smith's decision to slip that admission out as George Osborne delivered his Autumn Statement saw him accused of using the Budget update to bury bad news. Figures unearthed by Labour in the small print of a report produced by the Office of Budget Responsibility (OBR) to accompany the Autumn Statement suggested that the reforms were even further behind schedule than had been believed. The figures showed that only 400,000 benefit claimants will be using the universal credit system in 2015-16 compared with the 4.5 million that had been planned. Instead, the vast majority of the 7 million people due to transfer to the new £2 billion programme will do so in the two years leading up to 2017. Mr Duncan Smith admitted that 700,000 people on Employment and Support Allowance - which is replacing Incapacity Benefit - would miss the 2017 target and said the delay was to allow the most vulnerable claimants more time to adjust to the change. "We could easily have tried to rush those people in but we have
Cycling safety campaigners protesting at road deaths risk scaring people off switching from cars to bikes altogether, Boris Johnson will warn today. The Mayor of London will urge "more careful" language, suggesting that pro-cycling campaigners could jeopardise the push to boost bike use by concentrating on recent fatalities on the roads when overall numbers were not up. More than 1,000 cyclists recently laid down across a busy road in Central London in what was dubbed a "die in" outside the headquarters of Transport for London as part of a vigil for those killed. Despite what Mr Johnson called the "awful month" of November, when six bicyclists died on the streets of the capital, cycle deaths in London were the same as at this point last year. Cyclist deaths are also lower than the year before, he is expected to point out at the a safety conference brin
DJ Campbell, the Blackburn Rovers striker, has been arrested as part of a football spot-fixing investigation, his club have confirmed. The 32-year-old was one of six people detained in an investigation by the National Crime Agency (NCA) after it acted on information received from The Sun on Sunday newspaper. Five of those arrested on Sunday morning have been bailed until April, but a sixth is still being questioned, the NCA said. Campbell, the former Blackpool striker, was arrested on Sunday, a day after coming on as a substitute for Blackburn in a 0-0 draw with another of his former clubs, Queens Park Rangers. The player has not been charged with any offence. In a statement, Blackburn confirmed the arrest but said that no further comment would be made "on what is now an ongoing legal matter".

While most of you were tucked away under your blankets on Sunday, the Trinidad and Tobago Karting Association hosted its third even of the 2013 season. Despite overcast skies and a wet track, this race meet was the most successful for the year. Karters came out in their numbers and we saw the return of several racers who have been absent from the sport for some time.

Karting action kicked off on Sunday 17th February to signal the start of the 2013 Karting Season. In the most exciting set of heats for the day, the Rotax International class started off with newcomers Aaron Ramsey (#43) in his first ever Karting race. Moving up from 100 CC class to a more competitive arena we have the likes of newcomers Che Carrington (#175) and Shane Pinheiro (#29). Marc Gill (#8) also joined the Rotax International class for the 2013 season. Dominating the first race of the season we had Che Carrington blasting off and improving his time with every lap of the 10 lap heat. There was no stopping Che as he continued to show dominance in the race.

Robert Boyle's Clockwork Universe

"What did he think of the Greek notion of nature? Simply put, Boyle believed it was inappropriate—both theologically and scientifically—to speak of "Nature" doing anything at all."
"Where many scholars in previous generations simply assumed that Christianity and science have always been in conflict—and not just over evolution—recent scholarship has decisively debunked that view. The main message from today's historians is complexity, not conflict."
Today's Origins News Round-up takes us from some cosmic data on the possible existence of life elsewhere in the universe, to some surprising theories about the origin of life, and some interesting general news and editorial items on science and religion.
In this series, Ryan Pettey offers several clips from his powerful documentary "From the Dust". This feature-length film is divided up into various sections, each of which wrestles with the difficult problems that arise when reconciling Scripture with the theory of evolution. A light of hope dawns on the science-faith conversation, however, as scientists and theologians engage in honest dialogue about tough issues such as the interpretation of Genesis, the nature of the Fall, and the idea of random design. Their profound insights are sure to enlighten all minds, raise deeper questions, and provoke new thought.
"For a few moments, it felt like our little church community was surrounded by glory. The wisdom of Christ in the hypothalamus was illumining the wisdom of Christ in the prophets and gospels."
What can a practicing scientist in the 21st century—even a "bench scientist" like me whose scientific forays are confined to a laboratory—glean from a 19th century wanderer like Thoreau?
This entry was originally posted on February 11, 2010. In this brief video, Professor Schloss addresses what he sees as the two primary reasons that evangelical Christians oppose evolutionary theory.
Astrobiology is the field of inquiry about the origin of life on our planet and the possibility of life elsewhere in the universe. Making a comeback is the theory that life began on Mars and emigrated from there to Earth via meteorites dislodged by collisions with asteroids.
We're excited to announce that the documentary From the Dust can now be purchased and rented through the iTunes Store!
As I read The Voyage, I often thought about Darwin's other famous work, The Origin of Species, and the delight that Darwin clearly took in the natural world. Writing about a tropical forest in Brazil, he found himself at a loss for words, "…it is not possible to give an adequate idea of the higher feelings of wonder, astonishment, and devotion, which fill and elevate the mind."
Considering my own stance on the satisfying harmony of science and faith, you might be surprised to find on my shelves nearly everything written by Richard Dawkins (including "The God Delusion") and my late friend Christopher Hitchens (including "God Is Not Great"). One must dig deeply into opposing points of view in order to know whether your own position remains defensible. Iron sharpens iron.
How do metaphors impact the dialogue between faith and science? We might start by asking: what are the framing metaphors at work in the current debates? Even using the word "dialogue" here suggests an implicit metaphor that frames my approach to the relationship between faith and science. Imagine substituting "dialogue" with "war;" that would conjure a completely different metaphorical framework.
If your core value is serving God and you believe that anything but a literal interpretation of the Bible is disobedient to God, you can't hear any of the scientific arguments, and that was the way it was with me. Until I dealt with the loyalty question, I could not proceed to the science.
After we both exhaled some relieved laughter, I whispered, "I believe God created the world and holds it together. Just how he did that is up for debate, but whatever conclusions you come to about the earth's origins, God did it. Okay?"
With so many issues to discuss, Christians can easily get the feeling that science is always attacking the faith. It is essential to balance such conversations with positive responses to God's creation. After all, the primary response to the natural world in the Bible is to praise the God who made it.
What do today's pastors think about science? What views do they hold on creation and evolution and how strongly do they hold them? How do origins issues impact their ministries? These were just a few of the questions that motivated us at BioLogos to commission a survey of pastors on origins
In this video Conversation, Denis Alexander asserts that contemporary Christians are not taking the early chapters of Genesis seriously enough.
