The Hobbit
Online Reservations
If you want an evening EVENT (wrapped up and tied in a beautiful ribbon), then the stage is set for you to attend one of the World's best dining spots right here in Orange County. The Hobbit is where you want to be for anything, anytime! The evening flows smoothly and is perfectly planned for a dining experience you will never forget. Come. Eat. Drink. Savor the flavors of The Hobbit and everything it has to offer.
great romantic, special occasion environment. The wine cellar, food , service and attention to detail is outstanding! a must try spot!
Was nice to once again visit the Hobbit. Has always been a nice place for a special ocasion. This was the first time I had to request (weeks in advance) gluten free for my wife. Was told no problem but when we arrived, disapointed; the very first course she could not participate in. Not even the rolls. The Hobbit is a wonderful place and have always enjoyed it as mentioned. For the price now i would think they would be able to join the mass in helping those who are truly Gluten free.
The Hobbit was a wonderful dining "Experience", food was delicious and service was impeccable. The only thing that wasn't perfect was the wait time in between courses, but I know this is considered part of the charm of the experience but when your hungry you won't want to wait 20 minutes or more in between each course. Even my hard to please "foodie" spouse enjoyed our evening and thats saying something.
I don't believe it's possible to have a bad experience at the Hobbit.
We went for a special occasion and the food, service and venue were exceptional!
This is one of the most amazing restaurants we have ever been to! It is a completely different experience! It isntt just dinner out it is and event in itself!
My wife and I are moving from Orange County to St. Louis and we decided that we wanted to get together with some friends at the Hobbit one last time before we go. The Hobbit delivered the goods. We had a special group seating in the Wine Cellar and everything was right down magical from the appetizers to the dessert and everything in between. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect evening for us and 8 of our dear friends. We will miss the Hobbit, but I am sure that we will be back when we are on vacation. As a die hard foodie, I must say that the Hobbit needs to be on your bucket list. If you have not been there, GO! Life is way too short to not go to a place like this.
They overcharge on the wine the markup is pretty ridiculous other then that it is a great dining experience.
Great evening with dear friends at The Hobbit! From the excellent appetizers and champagne in the cellar to the last crumb of dessert, every course was fabulous. We had a party of six which was perfect. Always a treat!
We had a group of 10 for a dinner at the Hobbit in Orange. Our group had dinner in the wine cellar. We thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere, food and wine!!! Service was great....everyone was friendly!!! Can't wait to go back!!
The restaurant is in an old house that has been converted and the ambiance is quite charming. The entire evening was executed extremely well by the staff. Champagne and hoers de oeuvres were nicely done. The wine cellar while quite extensive, is a little pricey, but there is something for everyone. The service was impeccable and the food was delicious. They really cater to every need of their guests and are very friendly. I have been many times before and will continue to return. Dinner pricing is steep so it's not someplace to go often unless it's within your means, but definitely worth it!! I give it a 5 star rating.
The food and service were outstanding. This is our 2nd visit here for a special occasion, and we will likely return because the food and service are outstanding. The only caution/reservation in recommendation I have is on the house/chef wine pairings which we ordered in lieu of a dedicated bottle. The first pairing during dinner, an Italian white, was chalky and did not pair well with the first course. I could not finish it the glass; It was very disappointing. The rest of the pairings improved, but weren't as good as expected until we got to the bordeaux with main course.
The place has a great atmosphere and staff take every effort to allow you to experience it. Appetizers were served in the basement wine cellar, which was tasty, plenty, and very atmospheric. The sommelier approached us and we chose our wine from an extensive collection. It was great to be able to visually select wines instead of from a list on a paper. Dinner has an intermission before the main meat dish. We walked around the restaurants' patio, bar, kitchen, and other rooms with wine in our hands. Food was amazingly done with blends of subtle tastes. We enjoyed the food as well as the "total coordination" experience at the Hobbit, and would recommend it for anyone looking for good food with a unique experience.
4-5 hours of absolutely divine food, wine and ambiance! The restaurant is an old house whose character is part of the overall experience. The chef makes you feel very welcome (he even took our picture in front of their stained glass sign). The wine cellar is an experience unto itself. The hors d'oeuvres are unique and delicious. Try not to fill up on them, though, because you have several more courses to eat. Each course and presentation was unique and delicious. The wait staff were very attentive. There is an intermission where you can tour the house or sit on the patio. Take the tour of the kitchen; you won't believe how much food comes out of a relatively small space. When you leave, you will dream of your dinner!
Huge Tolkien and Hobbit fan. This place makes you feel like you're a halfling from Middle Earth with eat and drinking all if this amazing food. The whole experience is special, as we went for our 3rd anniversary dinner. We loved the decor and intimate setting and friendly staff as well as Executive Chef. Highly recommend this to anyone wanting to celebrate sonething extra special!!
But the tip is to get there right at 6 or wait until the group is sent downstairs for appetizers. If you don't know the drill you'll feel uncomfortable and end up hanging around in the hall. That said, the food is terrific, the service impeccable and a great time was had by all. The wine selection is staggering and unless you;re a quick study it's easy to take the offered pairings rather than pick your own. If you know what you like wine-wise you can enjoy that aspect of the evening. We did not and chose the pairing which was as delicious as the food!
This is truly a dining experience. Don't go here if you just want to eat and leave. It is designed to give you an evening culinary adventure with time to relax and enjoy the food, drink and each other. You can interact with other diners or just stay to yourself.
When reserving a table at the Hobbit, be sure your evening's agenda is solely enjoying exquisitely prepared dishes with a wonderful bottle of wine (chosen from the in-house cellar). There are quite a number of courses, so arrive hungry as well. The service and food preparation is excellent. The "intermission" where guests can roam the restaurant (previously a farm house in the early 1900s) is refreshing and a great addition to the experience. This is not a restaurant where you can get a dinner reservation a day or even a week in advance. The reservations book typically a month in advance, and there is only one seating time...7:00pm when we went...Dinner will take ~3 hrs. These restrictions aside, I highly recommend this experience!
2nd time here. Both times for anniversaries. The Hobbit does not disappoint. Outstanding food, service and ambiance. Not much more I can say but to encourage everyone to try the Hobbit for those special occasions. The Hobbit is not just a dinner; it is an experinece.
I have been to the Hobbit a number of times over the years, since finding it in 1983 and it never disappoints. The only complaint I have is as I age, it is harder to stay up as late, so be prepared for a meal that will last 3 1/2 to 4 hours, including intermission.
We were seated in the larger room where a table of 8 was gathered. They were noisy and at times made it difficult to carry on a conversation.
Went on no corkage night with a group of 8. Was one of the nicest dining experiences ever. Cant wait to go back. Service, food, wines, all amazing.
We were a party of seven. The first thing I noticed was the attentive staff. From the first step inside the door we were catered to. The dining was a very comfortable pace. And the food, prepared to our taste, presented well, and, if anything, just a little more than each of us could eat at one sitting. Definitely worthy of a return trip or few...
I had to rate this place otherwise I can't submit my note to the restaurant. I never went to this place nor do I even live near this restaurant. I have been getting emails from you for no reason. Please remove me from your email list. Thank you. The person you are trying to reach is somebody by the name of Dean Tower and I have no idea who he is.....
I took my husband there for his birthday, we really enjoyed the experience, the foods were great, the ambiance was very good, they could use more hobbit personality to make it more authentic to the book and series, (beer instead of wine, variety of cheese,...) but overall we really enjoyed our evening, and we will be back with a group of friends this time since we think this would be nicer experience in larger group.
It was our first time at The Hobbit and it met our expectations. Definitely an experiential dinner that all Foodies should try (not that I'm a Foodie). Everything is staged and presented nicely. Food is very good and service was EXCELLENT.
This restaurant was such a nice surprise! It was so much better than I had expected in that it was a 4 hour dining experience that left me feeling so contented!
For those who have never experienced a prix fix, seven course, 3 1/2 hour dining revelation, then please try the Hobbit. My first time there was 40 years ago and last night confirmed that it is a unique dining experience. From the comforting reception lounge, the wine cellar (with champagne and hors' d'oeuvres, through to the dessert, it is truly "the" unique experience.
We ate at the. hobbit with an international group of university staff from New Zealand, Australia and USA. I could not recommend the hobbit more highly. We had a special night, and a superb experience. My other US friends all want to go there now. We were fortunate in that our table was in the wine cellar, amongst the most impressive range of wines you'll see. The staff were brilliant all night, including allowing us to tour the building between courses.
We have heard about The Hobbit for years but were intimidated about going because of the price, our perception of it being too upscale, & because we are not big alcohol drinkers. Forget all of that. This was an incredible experience and there was no pressure to indulge. The staff is incredibly accommodating, including making substitutions due to food allergies. I was even offered non-alcoholic choices. There were 18 guests that evening making it nice for our 22nd anniversary. The only negative was one guest who seemed insecure and would shout out to other guests across the room. Thankfully, he left early. Thank you to the entire staff for making our experience outstanding. Forget about the price, and perception. This was worth every cent!
I travel a great deal all over the world. This without any exaggeration was the best complete dining experience. From the entry into the restaurant. The cellar, the outstanding attention to detail. Truly an exceptional place.
This is our all time favorite place to go for a special occasion. Service & food are always top notch. Beautiful re-vamp of the resturant, not that it looked bad before. Bring a fat wallet. All in all, it's always a beatuiful evening. My only issue was the girl at the door didn't know anything about checking in for my Open Table reservation. So I guess I don't earn my Open Table points. Oh Well.
From the beginning to the end, everything was nothing but perfect. Impeccable service with attention paid to every small detail and the food, of course, is to die for. The wine paring with every course is definitely the icing on the cake. It is, however, was disappointing to see some of the patrons showing up in jeans despite the fact that the restaurant dress code specifically asks for "no denim". It is very disrespectful of an establishment as classy as the Hobbit and to other patrons.
Although very pricey, it was "well" worth it and I can't wait to go back for the next special occasion. Don't be late so that you can spend time in the wine cellar and have a bunch of horderves. Your not rushed, it felt like we had more than 30 minutes of time in the cellar. The ambiance was very upscale and formal dress attire is appropriate but not mandatory. Each of the 7 courses looks beautiful (I didn't want to mess it up to eat it). You have plenty of time between courses and even an intermission where you can go upstairs in the two lounge areas to relax and/or socialize. Highly recommend. I guarantee you won't be disappointed.
Not only does the Hobbit remain consistently enjoyable it continues to improve and provide a wonderful full evening dinning experience. Go prepared to spend the evening relax and enjoy.
Yet another superb meal at The Hobbit! This "unique dining experience" never fails to impress.
It would be nice if appetizers were labeled and plates were provided. Should let everyone know not suitable for handicapped as no elevator available. Wine pairing not worth the price.
This was an exceptionally unique culinary experience. The setting exquisite. The service extraordinary. The pre-dinner wine cellar atmosphere and champagne very tasteful. All the courses were cooked to perfection. Bring your favorite person....bring an appetite....bring your wallet.
The appetizers and champagne were excellent. The restaurant has a relaxed home atmosphere. The food was exceptional.
Professional, knowledgeable staff. Personalized five-star service. We felt as if we were the only people dining that night. The staff works as a team which seals any gaps in service. They anticipated our every need.
While the Hobbit is a bit pricey, the meals are worth every bit of the price...from the moment you enter and are provided with champagne and appetizers through the presentation of the meal, you know you are in for a special treat.
Every experience at The Hobbit is an exceptional one. Always impressive service and food and the wine cellar is a great way to start the evening!
We have celebrated many of our 34 anniversaries at The Hobbit. The food is fabulous and the service is impeccable. The wine cellar is quite extensive but we usually take the chef's suggestions as they are always excellent. The hors d'oeuvres are delicious! There is only one seating per night so it is quiet and intimate.
This restaurant ins located in a former residence so there are stairs to negotiate. we arrived around 6:30 (one seating starting at 7 pm) and were invited upstairs to the bar. There are actually 2 rooms with bars and we got the last two chairs in one of them. It probably would have been better to arrive closer to 6 pm. We were invited downstairs to the basement which houses their wine cellar and were given sparkling wine and hors d'oeurvres. I brought a bottle of red in ($25 corkage) and chose a white from the collection which was nicely displayed. Dinner was served on the main floor and we were treated to a 7 course dinner. Service was excellent, the food was wonderful and the ambiance was elegant.
Superb food and service for gourmands and those who love wine. Established for 40 years with no lapses in quality. A three hour dining experience with multiple courses and preceded by champagne and hors d'oeuvres in the wine cellar. Great for romantic celebrations!
We have celebrated many Anniversaries here with groups and just ourselves. The food is always great. Love the Champagne and French sandwich.
The best four hours spent in quite a while. Delectable food, quaint house, fun wine cellar. Every course was wonderful! Would come here at least once a year!
From the beautiful hors d'œuvre and champagne in the downstairs room to the main course to the delicious dessert -> we were in heaven! What a way to celebrate our 43rd anniversary! Many thanks, Ed and Susan
We loved our experience at the Hobbit, the food was just great. we were a party of 8, one person didn't show up, but we were informed from before that we would have to pay for any person that doesn't show up.

He's wearing his costume.Yes, that's Luthor.Damn right.Huh?
Like heck, that looks like a friggin' power suit, WHY IS THE FLASH WEARING A METAL-IC POWER SUIT?!!?Then they should make it so that whenever Luthor gets hit in the head, he loses =VI really don't like the 'Bad Crazy Girl' look they're giving Harley.
Please Neatherealms and Warners Bros. I need my Donna Troy, Raven, and Cyclone in this mother. Bonus points for Sarah Rainmaker.
Flash is wearing a light alloy metallic power suit, maybe? To harness his link to the Speed Force?
Luthor's suit does have that glaring weakness. It amazes me how Superman didn't just heat beam his chrome dome all those times he brought out that suit.
Harley's look is refreshing to see. It reminds me of her costume in the current Suicide Squad mixed her Arkham City outfit.
The only reason i like harley is because she is funny ... if that is taken away, then i will have zero interest in her.

From getting a close look at barn owls and salamanders to testing live water organisms, families throughout Hudson County can experience the Meadowlands environment at the opening celebration of the River Barge Park in Carlstadt on May 19 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The free event will include kayaking, pontoon boat rides, activities for kids, bird-watching, park tours, environmental exhibitors, and food.
"River Barge Park Day is a wonderful opportunity for the entire family to participate in fun and educational programs that foster environmental preservation while enjoying this spectacular new park," said Marcia Karrow, executive director of the New Jersey Meadowlands Commission (NJMC).
Preserving nature
Just a short ride from Route 3, the five-and-a-half acre River Barge Park is tucked away behind the Meadowlands Sports Complex and provides access to the Hackensack River. The scenic park offers a tranquil setting with riverfront views to enjoy nature and get a close look at an urban ecosystem.
The goal of the celebration is to raise awareness about the importance of environmental protections, conservation, and keeping the waterways clean.
"Go out on the water. Go out on the kayak." – Brian Aberback.
The park includes a boat ramp, docks, paddling and rowing launch points, a 17-boat slip, marina, a promenade with picnic tables, paths lined by native plants, and an education pavilion.
Testing the waters
Aberback said he expects 300 people to attend the opening celebration. Visitors to the park can get out on the river via an NJMC 30-minute pontoon boat ride or take a mini-kayak lesson from nature sports outfitter REI.
Kids can also participate in water chemistry activities by using science kits to test water temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen and pH, and observe organisms found in the Hackensack River under the microscope. The Meadowlands Environmental Research Institute will have a computer showing real-time water quality data from several monitoring stations throughout the Meadowlands District.
"What you find out about wetlands is that it is a mixture of fresh water and salt water but uniquely, if you do a test on it, you can tell exactly what the parts per thousand are," said Gabriel Bennett-Meany, natural resources program specialist.
Family-friendly learning
"It is a day for families. Go out on the water. Go out on the kayak," said Aberback. "And at the same time learn about the importance of the environment."
The exhibitors for the day include wildlife educator Joe D'Angeli, who will present a live Barn Owl exhibit. The Bergen County Audubon Society will help visitors find birds and other wildlife through spotting scopes.
A reading and book-signing session for kids will be held at 11 a.m., 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. by Tom Yezerski, whose children's book, "Meadowlands: A Wetlands Survival Story," was named to the New York Times list of 10 Notable Children's Picture Books for 2011.
The Meadowlands Museum will showcase the region's rich history, while the Meadowlands YMCA has activities planned for all ages.
Environmental groups will inform visitors about protecting, restoring and improving safe access to waterways. Local green teams will talk about building sustainable communities.
River on the road to recovery
"It is simple as throwing your garbage away because whatever ends up in our storm drains sometimes ends up in our waterways," said Bennett-Meany about what individuals can do to help keep the waterways clean. She said that the NJMC finds plastic bottles, bags, candy wrappers, and juice boxes among other items washed up along the banks. She also said it would be helpful if individuals stopped using these types of items and made a conscious effort to make less waste.
In the late 1980s, there were 85 striped bass counted in the Hackensack River by the NJMC as part of a fish study. About fifteen years later the number of striped bass had risen to 1,123. During that same time period the number of white perch went from 774 to 11,451.
"There is a recovery and it is ongoing," said Bennett-Meany. "For most people that know the area and know the history they know it has had a legacy of discharging and factories. A lot of that has changed because of state laws."
Bennett-Meany said that the NJMC plans to conduct another fish study.
Salvaged land and materials
The NJMC purchased the River Barge park property for $3.1 million in 2005 with major funding provided by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. The land was once slated for residential development. The education pavilion features a thatched roof consisting of Phragmites from New Jersey marshes, while the pavilion, tables and bench furnishings were constructed with 300-year-old first-growth long leaf yellow pine salvaged from the Barge Club restaurant that formerly stood on the site. The park also includes energy-efficient lighting and sustainable storm water management, collection and filtering systems.
River Barge Park Day is hosted by the NJMC and the Bergen County Audubon Society and was made possible by funding from the New York-New Jersey Harbor Estuary Program and the NEIWPCC.
The rain date is May 20. All parking is at Lot 28 at the Izod Center. Free roundtrip shuttle bus service will be provided for all visitors throughout the day. Due to space limitations, visitors may not bring their own kayaks, canoes or boats to River Barge Park Day.

Pour oil into a deep fryer or large heavy pot and heat to 375 degrees F. I used a deep metal saucepan. I don't have a thermometer, so I set the stovetop dial to medium-low heat ("3" on my stove.)
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and cayenne pepper. In a separate bowl, combine the creamed corn, onion, and milk. You can substitute buttermilk for milk if you like.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and combine. Don't worry if there are lumps, this is okay. If it's too dry, add a little bit more milk.
Scatter the cornstarch on a plate. Roll each hot dog in the cornstarch and coat evenly with a thin layer of cornstarch, like you are powdering a baby's butt. you don't want huge clumps of cornstarch on the hot dogs.
Insert a chopstick into each hotdog - note, I didn't use chopsticks in mine because I'm not particular about having my corndogs on a stick. It is totally up to you. Check the oil to see if it is hot enough or too hot. I added a tablespoon of batter to the oil to see how it cooked. If it gets too dark too fast, your oil is too hot and you should lower the heat. If it turns nicely golden and crispy, it's just right. Next, dip a dog in the batter, and then carefully place it in the hot oil, and cook until the coating is golden brown, about 2 to 4 minutes.

The Bulgarian Telecommunications Company (BTC), operating in the market under the Vivacom brand, has temporarily suspended sales of large properties, the company`s executive head, Bernard Moscheni, told journalists on Friday. The move was attributed to the stagnation in the country`s real estate market and the mortgages on more than 800 estates imposed by the government over claims against BTC`s previous owners. The company has so far sold its larger buildings in Varna, Bourgas, Plovdiv and Sofia. BTC had also been on track to sell the Phone Palace in central Sofia to Irish commercial and residential property developer West Inc, but the deal fell through earlier this year...

That they say it suddenly increases that the potential of sudden death and this is -- are you kidding me doctor -- what's this about.
Well -- and his 55 million prescriptions written every year for resist arrest was a throw myself and the truth is we're over prescribing to were prescribed and -- for every cold for every virus we shouldn't be doing that.
So this is a wake up call for not over prescribing antibiotics.
On the other hand though this study which looked -- over 350000.
-- the truth -- and women rather men and women the truth there's.
That it only shows.
You go from.
The chances of dying from this from three -- per million up to six -- millions or even though that's double it's still very very rare and it only affects.
People that -- heart disease people with diabetes people with high risk so I believe that this antibiotic is very safe I believe.
Almost all of the time I can prescribe it safely but it is a reminder to me that I may be overprescribed while they have just have -- -- -- well what do you know we've had these -- -- -- that I'll let you -- Well because it's a sudden death of a sudden you're gonna stop breathing let me let me.
Please clarify this truth is everything it takes the truth -- it's not actually noon news because it's part of a group of antibiotics.
That can occasionally.
Very rarely cause a heart arrhythmia in very very rare situations with people who are already at -- so what can.
Happened after -- I actually the wanted to record marks of their little twist to it this is a great study that was published in New England Journal medicine did look at -- big volume.

You want to use other medications such as maybe a Marxist and that may be safer safer -- medical which they look at and that's -- that's so important what.
You just -- about it because.
It sounds to me like you should ask your doctor is it viral or bacterial because viral will not respond to this antibiotic.
And there are alternatives if you have heart disease you should definitely tell you don't.
Simple question Jamie we've talked about this many times in the past ask -- -- do what I really need this just that simple question what prison -- communication would conductor.

Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2013 Ford F250 Super Duty Super Cab
By KBB.com Editors
In a year in which the big newsboth literally and figurativelywas presumably focused on Toyota's launch of its new Tundra, Ford arguably trumps Toyota's thunder with its debut of an all-new Super Duty. Constituting some 40 percent of Ford's F-Series sales, the Super Duty is intended to secure the most profitable segment of the pickup market. Ford stakes its claim to "best in class" with improved platforms, upgraded drivetrains and dramatically enhanced capability, particularly with the availability of the new F-450.
Whether you're into commercial construction, agriculture or recreational towing, if you use a truck as a truck you'll benefit from the Super Duty's enhanced capability, refinement and convenience. And while the custom-spec car may have died a long time ago, the variety of permutations available from Ford's Louisville truck plant gives the Super Duty customer a chance at real customization, seemingly with more content variables than the U.S. tax code.
If you're looking for a pickup (especially in Crew Cab configuration) as a substitute for your SUV, you'll quickly realize the Super Duty's principal mission: Hauling things and peoplenot just people. To be sure, both Extended and Crew Cabs accommodate passengers quite comfortably, but if you're not regularly hooking up to a 10,000-pound trailer or loading an eight-foot bed with more than a couple of two-by-fours, you've overbought what Ford has overbuilt.
Ford may throw its "Bold Moves" tagline at everything in its lineup above the Focus, but few things are more deserving of the description than Ford's new Super Duty. From its enlarged grille to the tailgate, everything on the new Super Duty has been redesigned or aggressively tweaked. Despite a familial resemblance to its predecessor, this is more than just a "freshening." Rather, it's a full-scale attempt to retain market leadership with a slew of class-exclusive features both inside (Quiet Steel dash panel) and out (power telescoping and folding trailer tow mirrors).
Driving Impressions In most recent redesigns much is made of a "stiffer structure." Ford's design team complies, with higher-strength front-end structures, fully-boxed front frame rails, thick C-channel frame rails and crossmembers secured...
by, according to Ford, a "method that optimizes frame capability." The end result, enjoyed over some two hundred miles of south Texas roadway, is a truck offering the maximum in capability while still providing a full measure of comfort and control. This is a big truck but, from steering, to braking, to ride motionenhanced by lengthened rear leaf springsto interior quiet, the Super Duty impresses as one highly refined tool, and not merely a "truck."King Ranch Trim
In an era of $70,000 Cadillac Escalades, a $50,000 pickup shouldn't be cause for alarm. A King Ranch-equipped Super Duty, however, will raise eyebrows not with its window sticker but, rather, its level of refined "tough" luxury. Constituting both interior (Chaparral leather) and exterior (PowerScope mirrors) upgrades, the King Ranch enhances over-the-road comfort with material, workmanship and appointment upgrades, adding immeasurably to the Super Duty's attractiveness. And, unlike some luxury pickups, there's no intention of appealingovertlyto the Country Club set; this remains a work truck and not a work-in-progress.
Power Stroke Diesel
With its 6.0-liter predecessor, the clattering came from both under the hood and consumer websites. But now Ford has created a diesel offering more power (350 horsepower) and torque (650 pound-feet), along with a cleaner burn, quieter operation and better throttle response (via dual sequential turbos). Add a five-year, 100,000-mile powertrain warranty for peace of mind and you've got a segment-leading package.
With the debut of the current F-Series, Ford established a benchmark for pickup interiors. In the new Super Duty the benchmark is moved upward in available choices, functionality and appointment. The XL interior provides feet-on-the-dash utility, XLT and Lariat trim levels give the customer more expressive design and the King Ranch package coddles you in highly refined Chaparral leather. All trims benefit from new materials, surfaces and accents. Lariat and King Ranch owners will enjoy dual-zone climate control. All audio systems are MP3-capable, so download your Toby Keith collection.
ExteriorA walk-around with Ford's head of truck design, Pat Schiavone, begins with the grille. The Super Duty's corporate three-bar opening is flanked by expansive vertical inlets and topped by "SUPER DUTY" in big capital letters. The expansive grille is for more than simply showit fronts a confluence of cooling capability for engine, transmission and the intercooler that serves the diesel's two sequential turbochargers. Better cooling means, of course, bigger towing. Beyond the imposing edifice are new fender-mounted vents, available telescoping mirrors and optional 20-inch forged aluminum wheels. When compared to the previous Super Duty, the grille and hood blister provide the main visual differentiation.
We'll start at the front, where Ford has located a front step bumperunder-the-hood checks are made easier when the step-stool is built-in and not something you need to carry with you. In back Ford includes a hitch receivermatched to each model's capabilitieson every Super Duty, along with seven-pin and four-pin connectors. Given the importance of towing capability to the Super Duty mission, the receiver is a standard feature any owner can appreciate.
As noted, the Super Duty order form provides a wealth of choices for virtually any commercial or recreational use. Those intending to tow with their Super Duty trucks will appreciate Ford's factory-installed TowCommand System. The system fully integrates the trailer brakes, anti-lock brakes (ABS), TorqShift automatic trans and tow/haul mode into one safe, capable towing platform. Functional enhancements include a foldable bed extender, which improves load utility when in place and stays out of the way when not needed. Accessing the bed is made easierand saferby the why-didn't-they-think-of-this-before tailgate step option. And for those venturing off into the Great Unknown, an optional navigation system should get you there andhopefullyback again.
Ford offers three engine choices for work, play or any combination of the two. Base powerplant is a 5.4-liter Triton V8 offering 300 horsepower and 365 pound-feet of torque. For those seeking more from the gasoline side of the Ford family, the 6.8-liter Triton V10 should satisfy, putting 362-horsepower and 457 pound-feet of torque under your right foot. Finally, there's the aforementioned 6.4-liter Power Stroke diesel, infusing the Super Duty with both "tow" and "go."

"I've had this truck for 6 years. My only problem was the radiator right after I bought it brand new. I figured that could happen to any car. I tow a 5th wheel trailer with it with no problems. It goes up hills with no problems at speed limit. The highest pass I took it up was in Colorado at almost 12,000 feet. The truck is a good reliable work horse and has never given me problems."

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 52,000
overall rating 10 of 10rating detailsPros: "great looks, towing, comfort and milage"
Cons: "price is a bit steep"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10
"I use this truck. I put a 4000 pound camper in the bed and tow a 7000 pound boat behind it. I go up the steepest mountains at full speed 65MPH no problem and with avg towing with camper of 12.9 miles per gallon. When I'm using just the truck avg 15.7 miles per gallon. When I reprogram the truck with my own settings I get 18.4 miles per gallon highway and 16 mpg city. The only thing I think could be improved is cab noise could be better however the automatic sound increase in radio set at 7 the noise becomes less a problem. The step tailgate that I thought I wouldn't use much is so convienient that I use it often. I guess the only thing I would change about it is the handle should be changable to right side. The absolute best truck I have ever had. Puts my 1991 F-350 to shame in every area from towing to comfort and milage. If you need a reliable truck that hauls and tows great as well as looks great this is the truck fo you."

A crowd of about about 100 environmentalists convened at the Maritime Aquarium in Norwalk on Thursday to mark the awarding of nearly $1.3 million in grants for environmental projects related to Long Island Sound.
The projects improve water quality, restore habitat, enhance living resources and educate and involve the public with the ultimate goal of protecting and restoring the Long Island Sound.
"We've gone from degradation of the Long Island Sound to restoration," said Curt Spalding of the US Environmental Protection Agency's New England Region, with a tone of optimism.
US Sen. Richard Blumenthal commended the National Fish and Wildlife Association for their leadership, noting that since it was chartered in 1984 it has awarded grants totaling than $2 billion dollars to hundreds of thousands of organizations across US.
Noting that the gathering spot inside the Aquarium was called "Newman's Own Hall," Blumenthal recalled a conversation he had had with the late Paul Newman.
"I will never forget one of my moments with Paul Newman," he said, pausing to make fun of himself for dropping a name, "...when he said to me you need to do to more to save open space and Long Island Sound because pretty soon the only open space and precious resources you'll see are in the movies I make."
Blumenthal acknowledged the shouts and squeals of delight of the school age children on a field trip in the adjacent exhibits. "We have an obligation to save Long Island Sound for those voices and faces that will walk through here, without any realization about why all these grown-ups are sitting here."
Blumenthal commended the environmentalists for their spirit and commitment and for fighting on behalf of LI Sound. "The fights that have been won on behalf of LI Sound have been won because of you, citizens willing to put their lives on the line to say, 'No, we will not allow the industrialization of LI Sound. We will not permit its desecration.'"
Blumenthal pointed out that the projects funded by the grants include, "saving 12 miles of river, stopping 600,000 gallons of sewage," and projects that will touch the lives of close to a million people. "If we can enlist those people to be advocates for the Sound...the effect will ripple and magnify the effects of this grant."
Blumenthal concluded by saying, "I hope this may be a milestone, that of federal and state partnerships will result in saving Plum Island," he said, drawing applause. "And making sure we get the EPA funded," he added emphatically, to another round of applause.
Daniel Esty, Commissioner of CT Dept. of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) recalled bringing his children to the Aquarium for many years when they were younger, as did Blumenthal.
Esty said he would willingly "reveal his environmental nerd side," before speaking enthusiastically of statewide habitat protection, resource conservation and environmental education, and singling out the Long Island Sound Ecosystem Health Report Card as a project he admires.
Other speakers included Mayor Richard Moccia of Norwalk, Amanda Bassow of National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, Jennifer Herring, President and CEO of the Aquarium and Paul Phifer from US Fish and Wildlife Service.

Federal Funds Flow to Continue Long Island Sound Restoration

Authorities say a Silicon Valley venture capitalist and his wife were the victims of a violent home-invasion in an upscale Santa Clara County suburb.
The San Jose Mercury News (http://bit.ly/SsO2L3) reports 66-year-old Raveesh Kumar Kumra was found dead early Friday in his family's sprawling mansion in Monte Sereno.
His wife Harinda Kumra was taken to a hospital after she called 911 around 1:30 a.m. Friday to report that several intruders had ransacked their home and beaten her.
The Los Gatos-Monte Sereno Police Department has released a sketch of one of the suspects, warning that he and others are still at large.
Raveesh Kumar Kumra was a wealthy venture capitalist who invested in technology firms and once owned the historic Mountain Winery, which is a popular concert venue in Saratoga.

Hmmm, looks like they are just rearragning the deck chairs.
CNN would be better off hiring the Zucker Brothers who made the Airplane! and Police Squad movies.
There´s no reason for liberals to watch the news anymore, since no matter what happens in the economy, the world, or with their own livelihoods, they will always support Obama and the Democrats.Do liberals care about Benghazi, our towering national debt, or the fiscal-cliff deliberations? Even the President himself doesn´t seem to care about those things.So the prospect of a liberal news network improving its ratings cannot be favorable. The only people who care about what´s going on the world are Conservatives and moderates, who are already being served by Fox News.Unless CNN changes its political perspective to at least one ´´fair and balanced´´ enough to attract moderates and Conservatives, they might as well sell the network to someone who will, before its ratings and value decline into nothingness.
Epic fail.
You must remember, ´Liberalism´ comes first...no matter what.Zucker is a complete failure, but that cannot, ever damage Liberalism...he must be held up and promoted because he is a Liberal.
WHY? Because he did such a great job at NBC?
MSNBC2.Maybe Obermann can get a job there.
Hey be careful. Looking at the ratings MSNBC has higher ratings than CNN. CNN´s ratings are really pathetic.One thing they must learn, twisting stories, outright lying or not telling all the news to cover up for Obama is no way to enhance their image. The saddest part is that Liberals cannot comprehend how pathetic this network is but they believe every word they put out.
Conservative to Liberal: What do you think about Benghazi?Liberal response: Who´s Ben Gazi?Welcome to CNN, Jeff. Please do with it what you did for NBC. And if it doesn´t work out for ya, there´s always Current.Cheers.

I agree, I listen to 1270 all day but the Inferno is the reason. Mike gives an honest voice of the fans and so many times he says what I want to say. I love the show and if the inferno was gone I WOULD PROBABLY GO BACK TO THE FM DIAL.

i'm hearing a lot of rumors that the tyrants at 1270 don't know thier a$$es from their earholes. i may be wrong and spreading incorrect rumors...but i hear lund is a buddy of somebody so he gets paid a ton and is kept in a drive time slot, even though he continues to contribute nothing to this planet.
I think Mike's great on the radio in Detroit. Dude knows his stuff. I'll be joining the boycott of the station.
Lund is horrible. Almost as bad as Beligian. I think Spindler is pretty good, and gotten a lot better since he started, but Lund brings that whole show down.Originally Posted by rabidgiraffe
YESSSSS!!!! they are like the superfriends!!! nice, What i don't get, is mike gets all this hate and the second he is off air for a day or we find out he might leave, all of a sudden its the Mike V reach around day, i love mike, he is the reason i switched from dfn, i just too lazy to turn back after the inferno, but c'mon, Some people, not namign names, are acting like mike is Angelina Jolie at a MSu Frat houseOriginally Posted by BubblesTheLion
i've been listening from the beginning and I look forward to mike and terry's opinions and antics
if this goes so does 4 of the best hours of my day
Do right be these guys
Mike and Terry are the best thing sing the Fabulous Sports Babe.
Mike is the best of any sports radio personality in Detroit! 1270 better make room for prime-time drive-time with the Inferno show!I hate most of the afternoon guys because they talk and whine about everything and show very little insight to Detroit sports!
Lund sounds like a defeated man. The show sounds like it's on life support. No one reads or replys to S and L's blog.Originally Posted by jedifish

Germans reward Merkel for steady hand
Chancellor Angela Merkel won a landslide personal victory in a German election, a ringing endorsement of her steady leadership in the euro crisis.

Berlin: Angela Merkel won an overwhelming endorsement from German voters, putting the country's first female chancellor on course for the biggest election tally since Helmut Kohl's post-reunification victory of 1990.
Merkel's Christian Democratic bloc took 42.4 per cent of the vote in Sunday's election to 25.7 per cent for the Social Democrats of Peer Steinbrueck, according to projections on ZDF television as of 7:58 pm. If confirmed, that would put her one seat short of an absolute majority in the lower house, ZDF said. The only leader without a partner since World War II was Konrad Adenauer in 1957.

'Super result'
"This is a super result," Merkel, who is now set to become the fourth chancellor since the war to win a third term, told supporters at her party's headquarters in Berlin. "To the voters, I promise that we will handle it responsibly and with care. We will do everything we can in the next four years to ensure that they're once again successful years for Germany."
With unemployment near a two-decade low and the budget deficit virtually eliminated, voters backed Merkel's handling of the domestic economy, Europe's largest, and her push for austerity in the euro zone in exchange for aid. They punished the Free Democrats after four years of bickering and failure to deliver on its tax-cutting pledges.

Personal Victory
"This is a great personal victory for Merkel - you can almost say the Mutti-factor won," Jan Techau, director of the Brussels office of the Carnegie Endowment, said. "But it comes at a very bitter price of having lost her FDP coalition partner."
The FDP under the leadership of Vice Chancellor Philipp Roesler took 4.5 per cent, below the 5 per cent hurdle needed to win seats in the Bundestag, parliament's lower house, for the first time since the first elections of the postwar period.
"This is the FDP's bitterest hour since 1949," Christian Lindner, a former general secretary who now leads the party faction in North Rhine-Westphalia, said on ARD. "From tomorrow the FDP has to be re-thought."
The Greens, the SPD's favoured partner, took 8.1 per cent, and the anti-capitalist Left Party got 8.5 per cent. The anti- euro Alternative for Germany had 4.9 per cent, the projections showed.
Merkel's score compared to Kohl's 43.8 per cent in December 1990, two months after reunification of East and West Germany. She's now set to join Adenauer, Kohl and Helmut Schmidt to govern for three terms.
While Merkel said that "it's too early to say precisely how we proceed" with coalition building, she may still be forced into a "grand coalition" with her Social Democratic or Green party rivals or to ensure a stable government.
"The ball is in Mrs Merkel's court," said Steinbrueck, the finance minister in Merkel's first-term coalition. "It's up to her to work for a majority," he said. "The situation is so unclear that it could be a very long evening."
Not many in the SPD are pushing for a repeat of the grand coalition, said Frank-Walter Steinmeier, the former foreign minister who now leads his party's caucus in the Bundestag.
Party leaders meet Monday to discuss coalition talks. Coalitions are the rule in the German political system and negotiations usually last from four to six weeks.
Crisis Dominated
Merkel, 59, Germany's first woman chancellor and the first from the formerly communist east, was first elected in 2005, yet it was the euro-area debt crisis spreading from Greece that dominated her second term and may dictate her political legacy.
As Germany became the biggest contributor to 496 billion euros ($713.8 billion) of rescue aid, with Merkel insisting in return on reforms to make Europe more competitive, the continent was divided into a rich north and weaker south. That made Merkel resented in countries such as Greece and Portugal; in Germany it created an opening for the AfD party, which was founded earlier this year, to vie for it first parliament seats.
Germany's benchmark DAX Index has returned 68 per cent since Merkel became chancellor in November 2005, compared to a 15 per cent decline in the Euro Stoxx 50. In the same period, the government bonds returned 40 per cent; inflows amid the region's crisis resulted in investors occasionally paying to hold its two-year debt.
All the same, Merkel is headed toward risky territory in a third term as she faces the perils of a third Greek bailout and the potential breakdown in her 550 billion-euro energy overhaul.
"With the strong result for Merkel, Germans have again demonstrated their overwhelming support for pro-euro policies," said Holger Schmieding, chief economist at Berenberg Bank in London.

Moisture forgiveness is a building science concept generated by the demand for increased energy efficiency in the built environment. As buildings become increasingly tighter, they also can become more susceptible to moisture damage which can compromise the performance and durability of the building. Building owners, architects, and contractors must employ an integrated project delivery strategy to manage moisture effectively. Georgia-Pacific fiberglass mat gypsum products provide the moisture forgiveness that protects the performance of the structure and the inhabitants within.

Conan has last laugh with youthful social core
March 13, 2012 Leave a comment
Despite his lagging numbers the late night TV ratings race TBS has renewed Conan's contract – a move that makes a ton of sense in light of both a very young core audience and his strong social numbers. Conan's young audience ensures growth over the long run. According to the Wall Street Journal, TBS puts the media age of his audience at 32 years old – the youngest of all the late night shows.
Amazingly enough that same article notes; "Television executives say that Mr. O'Brien's ratings problem lies in part with his niche appeal." -showing an alarming lack of understanding of the strength of the niche programming in a super fragmented world. The "Team Coco" brand embraces niche – and defines it clearly. In a recent presentation that TBS made to our Point Park University students one particular slide (pictured here) stood out as an indicator of how well the Conan team knows and works to connect to their fan base.
Facebook numbers underscore the Conan youth and social media advantage. Conan blows away the top contenders at 1.8 million with Leno lagging at 408 thousand and Letterman at 319 thousand. Team Coco translates Conan's brand online with a 24/7 presence that combines with the TV audience to bring an estimated 20 million people to their sponsors commercial views according to Turner as quoted in Ad Age article aptly entitle "Conan's Ratings are Down, but He's Huge Online".
Conan O'Brien's comedic path has had some unpredictable twists and turns but the clarity of his connection to his young socially network savvy market may be the differentiator that creates long-term success.

Bob Skipper owns property bordering the proposed Swamp Hammock Outdoor Recreation Club. Here he asks the Highlands County Planning and Zoning Advisory Board for more time to bring a panel of experts to testify against the project. The postponement was denied.
click any photo to view this story's photo gallery published: Friday, January 18, 2013 P&Z advisory board in favor of Swamp Hammock By CHRISTOPHER TUFFLEY email@example.com SEBRING -- Highlands County's Planning and Zoning Advisory Board voted 6 to 2 Tuesday night to recommend the county commission approve Swamp Hammock's request for AU PD zoning. The decision came during the board's quasi-judicial hearing Tuesday afternoon and evening. The proposed private outdoor recreation club is controversial. Discussions regarding it have been going on for months. Bob Skipper, a rancher opposed to the project, asked to postpone Tuesday's meeting. He told the board he had assembled a group for the Jan. 8 meeting, but it had been canceled. Skipper said, "I couldn't get my people together for tonight." The board ruled that there had been plenty of notice and the matter had drawn out long enough. "If I had Jesus Christ with me at the meeting, the county commission wouldn't have agreed me," he said as he left the podium after speaking. The heart of the issue, both those in favor and opposed said, is about land owner rights. On the one hand, people already in the neighborhood say they have a right to protect their quality of life. They were there first, they argue, and a club of this kind is not fair to them. Why isn't the government protecting them, they ask. On the other hand, supporters of the club say this is the United States of America, and what right does the government have to tell people what to do with their property? There also are broader environmental issues being raised by concerned groups and individuals. Critics are concerned about the traffic they say the club will generate on secondary neighborhood streets, which are the only ways to get to the club. Critics worry the noise of revving engines, public address systems and amplified music will destroy the peace of the area over a large distance and adversely affect local livestock and wildlife. Light pollution is another issue, especially because the property is in one of the few areas left with dark skies. Ranchers near the site also worry about trash and trespassers. The Audubon Society fears bird populations and animal corridors will be disrupted and displaced because of the disturbance. "(Swamp Hammock) is 100 percent inappropriate for this sight," said Paula House, referring to its possible effects on wild life and people. For their part, supporters say they have done everything possible to minimize noise and bright lights. Jeff Kennedy, representing the owners, told the board that county staff created a list of specific conditions the club would have to follow. For example, he said, all events are subject to the Highlands County noise control ordinance; exterior lighting features must be shielded and directed onto to property and special lighting -- like high powered sky lighting units, laser lights and fireworks -- be directed within the property's air space and limited to special events. Pam Karlson, attorney for the owners, told the board, "Occasional vehicle events will be held in the center of the property and the owner has made every effort to have a variety of uses." A list of those proposed uses included not just vehicle events or fishing and camping, but bigger events like renaissance fairs and bluegrass concerts. "No other part of Highlands County can do these events," Karlson added. "It's at the farthest most edge of the county." Street traffic caused the most concern. Kennedy said a traffic study was done based on the impact the Red Neck Yacht Club generated in Charlotte County. He said the study had tripled the number of vehicles of a peak day and time, and the results showed the level of service remained fine. Critics of Swamp Hammock raised issues with the study and its choice of a peak day and time. But board members said any such issues were negated by tripling the hypothetical traffic load. Critics raised strong concerns about allowing the sale of beer on the premises. They also had questions about a proposed 1,000-yard shooting range. The range, however, will be operated under the oversight of the National Rifle Association, and is separate from the overall club. Supporters said the unusually large range makes official competitions possible, and should draw people in from out of county. Chairman Lew Carter reminded the audience the board serves in an advisory capacity only. Any decision is to made by the county commission. He added that there were still more steps in the process. "Some of this stuff you deal with, it happens out in the country," Carter said, referring to ATV noise before the vote. "My concern has always been the traffic. I have to respect the experts (who collected the data and wrote the traffic report)." Board member Rick Ingler said, "My biggest issue is the noise. I live a couple of miles from the raceway. I knew and accepted (the noise). These folks who live out there shouldn't have to do that. They were there first." Carter -- joined by Robert Puzey, James DiNapoli and David Travers -- voted to recommend the project to the commission. Douglas Walz and Ingler voted against. William Bennett, an alternate member, had to leave the meeting early for an obligation and did not vote. Seems Reasonable (by: Melissa M - 2/23/2013) As much as I hate developing Florida's natural areas, I have to say that I can't see much of a problem with this project. While I agree with the surrounding property owners' concerns, I can't help but point out that the developers have addressed those concerns. It seems they have taken into account the wildlife, as well as creating a buffer zone between loud events and surrounding property. This will give our teens much-needed local activities and should keep them OUT of trouble, not get them INTO trouble. As long as this place checks for IDs and has security measures in place, I just don't see the problem. The only people who have an issue are the neighbors. I can't say I blame them...but this is a county-wide decision, not just a neighborhood decision. What's best for the overall population of Highlands County? Lastly, in response to another comment - what's wrong with an investor wanting to recoup losses on a legitimate investment?? Noting illegal or unethical about it. Ridiculous (by: Politics as usual - 1/21/2013) This is just plain gross. Ridiculous (by: Anonymous - 1/19/2013) To the people who complain this will bring underage drinking to our county, look around you. There is already plenty of it in our county. It cause's DUI's, accidents, fights, and sad to say death as well. I'm sure you're not thinking of the extra business this would bring to our county though that it DESPERATELY needs. Just like with Triple Canopy Ranch or Redneck Yacht Club, there is security and on-site medics which I'm sure the owners would have for Swamp Hammock as well. Underage drinking is against the law and to keep their establishment open, they'll have to enforce that. Quit complaining because you're the older generation. I have all the respect in the world for my elders, but not for those who believe they have the right to complain about everything just because they've lived longer. Just accept that my generation enjoys things you didn't and that time have changed. vote (by: Labrat - 1/18/2013) The vote was 4-2 with 6 commissioners seated at the time of the vote. One commissioner had to leave early. only a matter of time (by: cant say - 1/18/2013) Seems to me that it will only be a short time coming if this project is allowed that highlands county will see more problems stemming from this . You will have teens doing underage drinking and who knows what else will come from it because there is isnt anyone to regulate any laws . So be prepaired for whats in store when you allow things like this to be passed by the same people you vote for office. Its bad that the board recommends things to put money in ones pockets while telling the home owners and property owners who have been there that they will just have to deal with it . Seems there might be some side way dealing under the table if you ask me . Bad Investment (by: Blindman - 1/18/2013) Mr. White, Mr. Kennedy and others made a bad investment buying this place, the economy tanked and they can't sell estates like it was planned for so they are trying to recoupe money another way. All this effects the Skipper Family who were next door for a long long time working cattle. It's not right for the Skippers and I don't blame them for thier concerns. But Mr. White has money and he and his associates are not going to stop pushing thier agenda. For all the good reasons they claim for the programs they want for the land, it's about recouping from a bad investement. It's about money and it's unfortunate. Small Banner Ads |
