Concord man submits innocent plea on vehicle offenses
MANCHESTER - A Concord man pleaded innocent Friday in Circuit Court-Manchester District Division to second offense operating after suspension and an offense involving temporary permit and plates pending registration.
When Judge Lawrence MacLeod asked about Shane Plummer's criminal record, Plummer said: "I have quite a record." But he assured the judge there wasn't anything recent.
MacLeod continued bail at $1,000 personal recognizance. Because the driving charges carry the possibility of jail, MacLeod told Plummer he is entitled to a court-appointed lawyer if he qualifies financially.
When Plummer said, "Well, I definitely did it," MacLeod cautioned him that all audio in the courtroom is recorded.
Trial was set for March 5.
Parking lot damage
Kristine Olson, 38, of 733 Grove St., pleaded innocent Friday in Circuit Court-Manchester District Division to two misdemeanor charges of conduct after an accident.
Olson is accused of damaging two vehicles in a Maple Street parking lot and leaving the scene without providing necessary information to the vehicle owners or police.
Bail was continued at $1,000 personal recognizance and trial was set for March 5.

Richard's winter bike
Richard and I were teammates back in our university days – he is still based in the UK, and had me build him a mountain bike a few years ago. Now living in West Wales, his commute is hilly and often wet, so he decided it was time to replace his very old training bike with something more suitable. So we came up with a version of my winter bike to meet his needs. This is the fourth bike with this style...Read More
Ryan's FRC travel bike
I built a packable tandem for Ryan and Amy a while back – since they already had the travel cases they decided to have a pair of single bikes built too. Both bikes share a similar spec and design concept, with differences in fit, geometry and tubing selection to suit each rider. Ryan's bike is built to allow two wheel sizes – 700×30 (or bigger), with long reach brake calipers. Or...Read More
Max's road bike
It is always great to build for local riders – I worked with Max through fit, design and specification to produce his request for a lightweight, comfortable bike with low gearing and a narrow Q-factor. The first was achieved with a compact light steel frame, the second with wide rimmed wheels, 25C tires and a long titanium seatpost, the third with a compact chainset and 11-32 cassette and the fourth...Read More
Tom's Road/disc/Di2
Road disc brakes are definitely on their way – I've done several bikes with mechanical calipers, but this is my first road disc build with hydraulic brakes. Full internal hose routing combined with the internal Di2 wiring makes for a very clean build. Tom is a tall chap so this is also one of the largest road frames I have done. We had to wait a while for Chris King to release the 24h versions...Read More
Time Trial Mk2
The first bike I built with 'English' on the downtube was my time trial bike – built to allow me to get the position I wanted which I couldn't do on a production machine. That was 2008, and I have raced five seasons on it – with three individual and three team state championships to show for it. Over the last two years I had been gradually planning the next iteration, taking...Read More
Giles's V3
This project started coming together last fall when Chris King took pre-orders for a limited run of turquoise anodised components. Giles asked me to order up hubs, headset and bottom bracket, and he started thinking about the color scheme for the rest of the build….. The frame is based on the V3 design, with Enve carbon tubes for the integrated seatmast and headtube added to a light steel frame....Read More
Geared 29er
I have been riding singlespeed only for several years, but wanted to have a geared bike in my fleet again. Ever since my first 29er I have been happy with a single chainring, so this was to be a 1x drivetrain from the start – which meant I could tuck the rear wheel up tight to the seattube without worrying about front derailleur clearance. I spent a lot of time shaping the chainstays to clear the 32T...Read More

I wasn't able to get his bike built for the start of the season...Read More

Employees at a camera manufacturer are focusing on a national band title
Updated On: Jul 12 2013 05:16:25 AM CDT
They work for one of the Valley's largest employers by day; by night they're rock stars.
They're one of the hottest bands on the corporate scene.
That's right -- the corporate scene.
"I think we are just a group of people who like to have fun with popular music," said John Saggese, bass player.
Meet Peripheral Vision, seven employees from Olympus in Upper Saucon Township.
"Some people they are surprised that Olympus has a band but everyone has been so great and supportive and they just think it is a really cool thing to have," said Stefanie Johnson, lead vocals for the band.
The band formed seven years ago, the members may have changed, but the focus is the same : raise money for local charities in the Lehigh Valley.
"We practice once a week," added John Nienstedt, lead singer, and background vocals. "At least twice a week if we are getting ready for a show."
Now the pressure has been cranked up as they compete in the Fortune Battle of the Corporate Bands, sponsored by Fortune 500 magazine.
"We submitted a demo and they said come out and play at the regional competition," said Nienstedt. "We went to Hoboken on June 1 and they picked us to play at the finals at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on September 28."
The group plays music from all genres and they're getting plenty of support from co-workers.
"A lot of friends and family have been coming out to see us play and they are really excited to see this opportunity we have," added Nienstedt.
If you want to check out Peripheral Vision they're playing Thursday night at The Promenade Shops at Saucon Valley at 7pm.
Here is the rest of their schedule for September:
September 8, 9 a.m., Easton, PA – Easton Center Square to benefit Via of the Lehigh Valley for disabilities services
September 14, 10 a.m., Allentown, PA – America on Wheels Museum to benefit The Coco Foundation for pediatric cancer support
September 28, time TBD, Cleveland, OH – FORTUNE Battle of the Corporate Bands at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and Museum

text: Max Baer jr--who played Jethro on this show, has finally bought some property in Nevada, where he plans to build a Beverly Hillbillies themed casino and resort. He has been trying to get this project off the ground for decades! It looks like it's finally a go now, though. I dunno, I would consider a casino being a reverse Beverly Hillbillies theme. You go into a casino owning a mansion in Beverly Hills, and after you gamble, you then move into a shack in Tennessee.

OK, so now I can tell you about my wonderful dinner at VOLT. Seriously, guys, it was one of the best meals I've ever had. My friend and I did the Chef's Dinning Room Tasting Menu (Kitchen Menu) with wine pairings. You can check out the menu HERE. Every course was just so beautiful to look at and eat. My favorite course was probably the lamb loin because it was just so deliciously salty. The restaurant was also beautiful -- masculine and modern. We were fortunate enough to have Chef Voltaggio give us a tour of the restaurant, which is actually a 19th Century home. As we walked into the main dining room, people obviously looked up and gawked. It had been a long time since I'd been with a chef in his restaurant while his/her season was still on the air, so I forgot how funny it is to see people's looks of recognition. I asked Bryan if it was weird and he said he was already used to it. He is, for back of a better idiom, cool as a cucumber. He is also insanely gracious. Sure, VOLT is a bit of schlep from D.C, but it's worth it. And I promise the next time I'm in D.C. I will definitely be stopping at Zaytinya to try out Mike Isabella's food.
In other news, I also just found out that Chef Hung Hunyh is now chef at Anja Bar, formerly Buddha Bar in NYC, and my fellow editors and I will hopefully be eating there in November. So go check him out! And finally, in case you've missed any of the first six episodes, check out this video one of my colleagues, Courtney Pollard, and I worked on:
Now you know what I "sound" like in print and aurally, but you don't know what I look like! Weird.
Anyway, until next week.

A Friend in Need
Okay first
attempt at a fanfic. I think it's a little rough, but I'll see what everyone else thinks. This whole thing came from a thought I had.
I think it might be a lot of dialogue, but it is over a conversation. It's just a one-shot. Hope you enjoy.
A Friend in Need
Cassie was ready to rest from her journey and have her team healed. Walking into the small town, she looked for a familiar red roof. At seventeen, she was already an old hand at traveling the region. It was easy to tell she was a trainer, from the khaki shorts and light t-shirt she wore, to the full pack she carried and ball-cap that protected her head, dark hair waving behind in a ponytail. She had been traveling for a while, as was evident from her sneakers. They still had dark blue race stripes, but the white leather had faded to dusty brown some time ago. Though a bit tired, her blue eyes sparkled as if she was ready for anything. Only three of the Poke Balls on her belt held a Pokemon. Always on the lookout to learn new techniques, she had cut her team back in the hope of finding some new Pokemon to catch and train. But, with no luck so far, she decided it was time to take a break and let her tired group rest. Cassie glanced at her Poketch, a Sinnoh gift from her Grandmother in Sunyshore City, and saw that it was about 6 o'clock, plenty of time to heal her Pokemon and grab something to eat before turning in.
Walking into the Verdanturf Town Pokemon Center, the first thing she noticed was a well-dressed man standing at the counter, arguing with Nurse Joy. Cassie walked up to the desk to have her team healed, but also to find out why anyone would want to argue with the kind nurse who ran the Center. Something on the desk in front of the man caught her attention. It was a small yellow Pokemon with green ears, cheeks, and paws.
What Pokemon is that?
Then she saw the single, straight bars on its green cheeks.
That's a shiny
Her thoughts were interrupted by the man's hand hitting the counter.
"I am sorry sir, but there is nothing else I can do for Minun," said Nurse Joy with a bit of impatience. It sounded as if this had been stated several times before, and Cassie really began to wonder what was wrong.
The well-dressed man was about twenty-five. He was wearing a grey suit that looked custom made and a very expensive watch. His brown hair was very neatly cut and a pair of sunglasses, that also looked expensive, was hanging from his front pocket. This was someone used to getting his way, and would not accept the answer he had been given. He began to yell, "You mean to tell me, that I am stuck with an Electric Pokemon that cannot even use its own
?" Every word seemed to make the Minun in front of him wince a little.
"I did not say that Mr. Davis. I said that the virus seems to have affected her
of Electric attacks. Minun may be fully recovered from the illness, but her hold on electricity has been compromised," Nurse Joy explained. She was starting to become very frustrated with the man before her. "As I have said, with enough time and some intensive training, she may be able to regain that control, but you will have to start from scratch with the basics."
This was still the wrong answer for Mr. Davis. "I am
going to take the time to start from
!" he was in a full-blown rage now. "I have already spent enough time here trying to make sure that my Pokemon recovered from its illness!" (Cassie later found out this was untrue; he was gone most of the time Minun had been at the Pokemon Center.) "The only reason that I trained it in the first place was to add another shiny to my team! I am certainly not going to start over with it! What is the point of having a Pokemon that cannot use its own attacks!?"
At this point, the poor Minun had her eyes shut tight to stop the flow of tears that seemed likely to come anyway. Nurse Joy was shocked beyond speech, but looked as if she wanted to punch the man in front of her clean out. Perhaps Cassie might have cheered something that seemed so out of character for Nurse Joy. However, she found herself asking the adults a question.
"Why are you arguing about something that Minun and Nurse Joy can't control?" Her rather calm inquiry brought the argument to an abrupt halt as the two turned to look at her.
Mr. Davis replied with a little more than a sneer, "I do not believe your opinion is necessary." Tyler Davis had never held any kind of respect towards other trainers, particularly those who were younger than himself. Having been raised to think that he was better than those around him, Tyler believed he had greater skill and wisdom as a trainer. He frowned at the young girl next to him, "No one asked you to listen to an adult conversation
"It didn't sound like a conversation to me, and it's not like I could avoid hearing it." Cassie's still calm response caused Tyler to turn red.
Before he had the chance to yell at a trainer as well, Nurse Joy answered the question. "Mr. Davis brought Minun here with a very rare virus. She has recovered, but is still suffering some side-affects. It seems that she has lost her ability to control Electric attacks."
"And I have no time to retrain a Pokemon, because it cannot remember how to hold in its electricity," said Tyler interrupting. "It is a waste of my time, and it is Minun's own fault for forgetting in the first place. I
to do it!"
Cassie frowned. She could not understand why anyone would be so outraged at having to train. For her, training was everything. Her Pokemon meant the world to her, and she knew that they would do anything she asked. She was never able to understand how any creature could become so devoted to her, and she loved them for it. Now hearing a trainer practically say his Pokemon was useless, set her head spinning. She looked at the rejected Minun who had listened to every word. Cassie's heart went out to her. "Do you want to give up Minun?" Her question startled herself as well as the two adults and the Pokemon on the counter.
Tyler looked at the girl and smirked. "Perhaps I do," he said. With those three words, Minun finally released the tears she had been holding back. She felt as if all hope had been pulled out from under her.
Cassie took a deep breath before she asked another question. "Would you be willing to give her to me?" Minun's head snapped up. Tears still fell as she tried to comprehend the question. Did she actually hear that correctly?
Tyler was having a little trouble understanding himself. "What did you say?"
She repeated herself, more clearly this time. "Would you be willing to turn over your Minun to me? I'll be her trainer."
Nurse Joy had been upset by the condition of her charge. No matter what she tried, Minun just could not regain control of electricity on her own. Worse still, it seemed as if the small amount of control she still held was quickly fading. Joy became distressed when Minun's trainer flatly refused to take on the hard task that lay ahead for the Pokemon and had worried that Minun would be left without a trainer. Now, she looked at the girl, who had just entered her Pokemon Center moments before, as if she was an angel sent to make a miracle happen.
The 'shiny collector' looked at her as if she just asked for the moon! Could this
seriously want to take one of
shiny Pokemon?
"I am willing to give you something in return for Minun," said Cassie, reading the look on his face. She had a knack for understanding what people were thinking. "What other Pokemon do you have?"
There was no reply from Tyler. Instead he grinned and opened three Poke Balls. From inside appeared Mothim, Poliwhirl, and Skitty, he seemed very pleased to show off his shiny team to the rest of the Pokemon Center. "I also have a shiny Onix which I cannot release here for obvious reasons," stated Tyler in a haughty tone.
Cassie nodded and took off her pack. She began to set objects on the counter in front of her. The other trainer looked on greedily. A Moon Stone, Metal Coat, Water Stone
King's Rock were all placed before him. "How many of these items would you trade for Minun?" She already knew the answer, but still waited for him to reply.
He had been searching for the items that would evolve his shiny Pokemon. Tyler tried to erase his hunger for the rare objects by looking from the items to Minun, as if he was making a difficult choice. "Well, this particular Minun is rare itself, and you are not offering any Pokemon for trade," he said, trying to sound as professional as possible. "I suppose that I could take the King's Rock, Moon Stone, and Metal Coat to evolve my Pokemon."
She nodded her head.
Of course you could. I'd expect no less from a guy like you.
"So would you say it's an even trade then?" she asked.
After one last look at the items to make certain they were real, the man replied, "It's a deal!" He offered his hand, which Cassie shook. Tyler then handed over Minun's Poke Ball, snatched up his new items, and walked out the door with his shiny Pokemon.
Minun watched them go, her heart breaking. How could her trainer give her up so easily? She had worked so hard for him, trained so many hours to become stronger. When the virus made her sick, he had left her in the care of the Pokemon Center, only returning to see if she had recovered. All trainers did that though, right? Why did he leave her here now?
Nurse Joy looked at Cassie. "I do not know how on Earth you managed to stay so calm through that. I must say I am surprised that a trainer would give up such rare items for a Pokemon they have never met. Weren't those hard to find?"
She shook her head as the remaining Water Stone was placed back in her pack. "Not really. They were only things. I'll find another Moon Stone and King's Rock, and the Metal Coat came from my Grandpa who raises Steel types. I can always get another from him."
Nurse Joy nodded her head, "I do agree with you one hundred percent. Although I don't think I would have offered him anything but a long trip to the floor." Both she and Cassie laughed at the thought. After a moment, Joy calmed down and smiled at Cassie. "I suppose that you came here for a reason. So, what can I do for you today?"
Cassie got her giggles under control. "My team needs to be healed. We've been traveling for a while since the last Pokemon Center."
"Of course, it would be my pleasure to take care of your Pokemon," said Nurse Joy with a smile. She took the three Poke Balls Cassie sat on the counter. "I'll have them ready to go shortly."
"Thank you." As Nurse Joy walked away, the trainer looked at Minun who finally realized she now belonged to a complete stranger. Cassie smiled and moved to her level. "I'm afraid you don't know me, but I can promise that I will do whatever it takes to help you. I hope that we can become friends." She removed one of the empty Poke Balls from her belt and set Minun's in its place. "It will be hard. I'm not even sure I understand everything that has happened to you up till now, but I'm willing to find out."
Minun looked up at her. Could she really trust this person? She thought she would be with her last trainer forever. Would this trainer give her up just as easily?
Cassie, who had always been very good at reading people and Pokemon, seemed to know what Minun was thinking. "I know you're a little confused right now. I would be too. It's hard to be separated from someone you've been with for so long. But, I can make a promise to you right now. No matter what, I will not give up on you. That may not be much of a promise coming from a complete stranger, but it is the best I have right now."
Minun was not sure what to do. Here was a trainer, who had stuck up for her. This trainer, who did not know her, was still willing to accept her with all of her problems. Minun was afraid. Afraid of what the future would hold, if she could trust the trainer who had accepted her wholeheartedly. Mostly, the little Pokemon was afraid that she would ruin this second chance with a kind trainer.
"Tell you what, why don't we go get something to eat while Nurse Joy heals my Pokemon? Then I'll introduce you to the rest of the team. Tomorrow, we can start working from the beginning. How does that sound?"
Minun looked at her new trainer who was smiling kindly. New hope began to show in her eyes, and Cassie saw her smile for the first time. "Mi-mii!" was the timid reply. Minun finally had the trainer that she so desperately needed, and a friend as well.
That's it, please tell me what you think. I greatly appreciate any criticism to improve.
Thanks! ^.^
edit: It's now August and I have just realized that I used the wrong color for a shiny Minun, something i have edited. ^^'
I am currently working on a revision that I hope to have posted in the near future.

- Expensive but worth itsamhamwichDined on 22/11/2014Had a really delicious T-bone steak,although it's unfortunate that you have to pay extra for a potato side. The service was quite slow but it was a Saturday and we weren't in a hurry so we didn't particularly mind. We were sat at the back of the restaurant this time, which is a bit quieter and more private than the open main area. Overall very happy with the meal and will definitely be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- great food, service a bit slowBusyBeeDined on 16/11/2014We went for the steakfest on Sunday, the food was great and unlimited steak and wine for £30 is great value. However the service was a bit slow, we had to wait on several occasions for a waitress to appear, there was a large group on another table but only three tables in the restaurant were occupied.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good - could be betterClaire5986Dined on 9/11/2014Went here on a group booking for the Sunday Steakfest - good points - food was very nice, great little starter, nice main- well cooked, chips are very tasty lots of wine in big glasses! Bad points, service was a little slow,, even when we ordered more mains to be bought out it took it's time, service was a little lacking at times. However we were there longer than the 2 hours stated due to this, but they kept the drinks coming so can't complain too much. Overall it was good dining.Special Features:
- What has happened ?KarensuttsDined on 7/11/2014This was our 4th visit. We've loved this place so took friends. We were given a list of food items not available - seriously, on a Friday at 7 pm?? Restaurant looks amazing but empty - left at 8.30 and only 2 other tables in. Food lovely although friends steak was cold . Had to get up to order more drinks - no serving staff in sight!! Went to order dessert, no sticky toffee pudding!! Bill came and an extra drink had been put on. On a positive note, they have taken the 10% service charge off. Still loved the food, waitress very pleasant but something is very wrong with the place.
- Was good now It's notFrankiefunkDined on 1/11/2014Me and my other half also family and friends used to come here at least 3 or 4 times a month brilliant little restaurant good staff food quality for money also but now all of a sudden the only way is Essex have made an appearance at the billericay one it's haze gone down hill new management becoming a chain also foods not as good and much more money so it's just another chain restaurant that will just die down so was a thing in the past was a really good place And we waited like lemons for the bill for at least 20 mins
- MOOOOJIMKEZDined on 31/10/2014WAS LOVELY THANKS AND GOT TO WITNESS THE 2ND EVER EATING OF THE £99 2 KILO STEAK AND PROBABLY THE FIRST TIME BY A WOMAN! VERY IMPRESSIVE.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 29/10/2014The food,service and atmosphere were all superb.only 1 thing didn't get fries with the steak so had to order them as a side.desserts were incredibleSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Overall ExperienceKatienoknicks1Dined on 25/10/2014Had a lovely meal but whilst there we'd only been there for about an hr, our meal was at 645pm and already another table ordered drinks there was no whisky available. We'd asked for my partners steak 12oz to be medium to well done and mine to be completely well done, his came back well done and mine was medium to well done. Also there was no sticky toffee pudding available, there seemed to be only two waiters/waitresses on and by 745pm they were absolutely packed. Our waiter was brilliant he was really nice and good looking which helped! Had a little lovely time there hoping to go back with my brother and his fiancée in the next week or so. Few hiccups but lovely place and so near to home.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good food, bad serviceCorm1234Dined on 24/10/2014The food was amazing, the lack of speed in the service was a major let downSpecial Features:
- Fantastic SteakZoo999Dined on 24/10/2014We arrived ready for dinner & there had been a problem with the ovens during the day, but despite the problems we were made very welcome with a glass of wine & antipasti on the house. The steaks we ordered were so tasty, I was very impressed. I wouldn't hesitate to return for special occasions or meals with friends . I would recommend this place if you love all forms of steak !Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 16/10/2014I took my boyfriend here for his birthday. We had been recommended the restaurant and we're excited at the prospect of great steak. Unfortunately my steak was over cooked as were the vegetables. I was disappointed with presentation of the vegetables in what appeared to be desert bowls. The desert Eton mess myself and my boyfriend had, was very disappointing very small and like a purée. Otherwise service was good, the restaurant was very welcoming and explained clearly how to use our taste cards which with these made it a reasonably priced meal, had we not had these I feel the meal would have been over priced. I must say the restaurant was very accommodating and helpful as I had to change the size of the table at the last minute.Special Features:
- the rare cow writtleMarky40markDined on 4/10/2014Great service with lovely food and a brilliant service.Cant wait to book again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- dont bother, nothing special.Lovemyfood777Dined on 4/10/2014A let down from the beginning, looks like a rundown pub from the outside and not much better inside. Was expecting it to be a smart place so dressed up but people were wearing hoodies and trainers. The menu was a tatty bit of paper and there was only two waitresses for the whole restaurant on a Saturday night. The food was presented poorly and looked like I could of made it. The steak was ok but you have to pay for anything to go with it. Very average I will stick with miller and carter.Special Features:
- shocking!!!!!chrisDined on 26/9/2014After hearing the radio ads and being a steak addict we thought it time to visit the rare cow, got that so wrong. When you first walk in the restaurant looks very contemporary after that it all went down hill, the steak was nice but the overall meal including presentation was poor. The desert was burning hot on the outside and cold in the middle. The service is poor and the staff don't appear to trained. The icing on the cake was the £200 bill!!! So if your eating out in Writtle don't go to the rare cow, save your money.
- tango123Dined on 15/9/2014Atrocious service. We went for their steak mondays but it was awful. We had to go up ourselves to try to find staff members as they hid away from their guests, just to order more water. This happened on 4 occasions, they gave us a tiny bowl of chips for 4 people so again we had to try to find someone that could go and get us more chips. When we asked them for something they acted suprised and bothered, as if they weren't supposed to be there to provide us with our food. The restaurant was quite empty and even though they just had steak & chips to offer their guests it took them ages to bring out the food, even something simple as ketchup took 10min to get.The food was good the first round but got worse. I wouldn't recommend anyone to go.
- Third VisitKarensuttsDined on 13/9/2014This is the third time we've been and I was worried as the reviews lately haven't been good. No idea why people have complained, our food was as good as always and the service was brilliant.Special Features:
- A Little DisappointingLeefromColchestereDined on 10/9/2014We booked this restaurant for my son's 30th Birthday. Since he is a lover of steak, we thought this would be prefect!! Eventhough the food we had was lovely,I cannot really fault it, the menu was lacking. You had a choice of chipped potatoes and that was it.There was no side salad, although they did attempt to accommodate us with a green salad. Upon ordering desserts, we were told that there was no ice cream due to the freezer breaking at the weekend (it was now Wednesday)! All desserts either come with ice cream or are ice based. My son also wanted to do the ice cream challenge!! So it was no desserts for us and made the evening go a flat. All in all, we thought it was over-priced for what we got and wish we were elsewhere.Special Features:
- 4QuinnDined on 7/9/2014This group restaurant was featured on "The Only Way is Essex", so one of our party from Kent requested we book it. On arrival the outside of the building seemed rather drab but on entry the door opened up into a modern well presented dining area. Although where we sat was a bit of a squeeze when taking into account the proximity of the table immediately behind us. The waitressing was generally good although the big bomb shell was that all three elements of the menu lacked substance. Many of the menu choices were not available that included all fish based choices other than the lobster burger..Even the ice cream on the desert menu WAS NOT AVAILABLE which was a bit of a shocker.Special Features:
- Worth every penny!Greeny380Dined on 7/9/2014We went as a party of 6, ages 11 - 70. Everyone had a lovely meal, mostly medium rib eye ( one burger!) cooked to perfection and so delicious.Special Features:
- consistency was spot on.like2eatDined on 31/8/2014I have eaten here 4 times now and yet again food & service was spot on. Says steak restaurant & by George it is. Keep up the hard work guys well done.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very poorCl10wrnDined on 29/8/2014Was very disappointed in all aspects, from value to ambience, staff and even decor. Price is astonishing for what is essentially poor pub grub. Such a shame, it could be amazing but would need a complete make over and change of staff. Staff could not be bothered and were not knowledgable about the menu.
- You get what you pay forOE55EXODined on 23/8/2014Yeah, it's pricey, but the quality of food more than makes up for it. Had a fillet steak and it was one of the best I've tasted. Good choice of starters and sides. Service was a little lacklustre, but I don't go to a restaurant to be entertained. Cost £60 for two of us, and we were both full. Not an every-week kind of place, but great for special occasions / treats.
- Food good service terribleclaudzDined on 23/8/2014The food tasted great, however the service was very slow, we had to wait along time for the food, and when the food came out we got half our meal and then had to wait 5 minutes for the other half. Waiter was not enthusiastic and didn't reccommend or upsell us anything. There was a fly bothering us the whole time we were there.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Service was awfulLozdiningDined on 21/8/2014I've been to the rare cow in writtle a few times before and many of times we have the same problems with the restaurant! The first is the slow response of all the waiters and waitresses who seem to spend their time talking behind the bar instead of serving! Secondly, the food came up in stages! I had eaten my steak before the chips even came up! Finally the lack of effort when we left the restaurant was not surprising as no one had the curtesy to say goodbye or anything! It's a shame the food is so good but that will be the last time I visit this restaurant!
- Fantastic Food, slow slow serviceGandyjayDined on 18/8/2014Me and a friend went last monday for the advertised "Steakfest" upon arrival was taken through to a table around the corner where one of the on duty waitresses was sitting down chatting, drinking and eating with a couple on the table over from us, im guessing she knew them rather well and im not against relaxed staff but considering it took a good 20 minutes to get a starter and 10 for a drink wasnt a great first impresssion. luckily the food here was amazing, the steak is phenomonal despite the lack of sauces for the steak but very let down on the wait times and service, hopefully the service picks up because i really enjoyed the food!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Felt let down!not2happyDined on 17/8/2014After good reportsfrom friends, we were very dissapointed with our meal! It transpired that the Rare Cow has been sold and in new hands. The quanties were large, but the quality and servicein no way matched the prices being charged.
- Lovely foodSkaterdonnaDined on 16/8/2014After reading several not so good reviews I wasn't looking forward to my night at the rare cow. Happy to say though I was pleasantly surprised. Food was excellent. Wine lovely, service ok, could have been a bit better, but overall a very nice evening. I would definitely go back and recommend it to friends.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- PoorjonathanbdayDined on 15/8/20148pm Friday 16th August Ran out of fillet steaks, surprising for a steakhouse, my rump steak came out cold to touch, asked for a redo and got a super super rare replacment ?(asked for rare to be fair) but couldnt eat alot of it. all meals came out separately, poor service, chicken escalopes not avaliable after ordering. super expenses and simply not worth the money - avoid.
- DisappointingDinnerLadyDined on 14/8/2014Waiter was not attentive and not accomplished. Did not like the wine brought to the table already opened. Meat was unremarkable.Special Features:
- Excellent SteaksfocuszetecDined on 13/8/2014Been meaning to go here for a long time and we was not disappointed, although the restaurant was quite when we arrived we were seen to and served quickly and was given a nice amount of time to chose our food. The food arrived quickly and cooked to perfection. A very enjoyable eating experience. Once the restaurant got busier the service did not drop and we were seen to efficiently. We was very impressed with the overall experience even though I was impressed with the quality of the food in my mind it was just a bit overpriced (even so well worth it)Special Features:
- Lovely food but overpricedEmmyb17Dined on 13/8/2014Thought the food was absolutely amazing however very pricey for portion size unless you are doing the challengesSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- steakfestcabbiejedDined on 11/8/2014A small party of six people (none of which had been before) went for the Monday evening steakfest. After reading some reviews about service etc. I was a little apprehensive, however I have to say that the service was excellent, the drinks (wine, beer and soft drinks) were included in the price and the waitress was always attentive asking if you required a top up. The steak was cooked beautifully as we're the chips and onion rings and like the drinks there was an endless supply. On the whole everyone in our party had a lovely experience and would definitely return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Waste of timeOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/8/2014Used the online booking system to book a table. an hour before the meal, i got a call saying the online system wasn't working and they had no tables. Appalling customer service. As a result, I shall not bother visiting the rude cow as it shall now be known....
- NOT THE BEST !didntdoit4meDined on 9/8/2014Arrived to find we were the only people there. Service exceptionally slow although staff are polite. Ordered food only to be told that several items were not available , changed some dishes only to be advised quite a bit later that some of the 2nd choices were also not available. Starters quite basic but took 45 mins to arrive. Food wasn't bad but just about warm rather than hot. It seems the place is trying to be something its not !!
- Unbelievable tasteCurbsideDined on 8/8/2014Best food I have had anywhere in Essex. Simple as.Special Features:
- Not BadBorn2DineDined on 7/8/2014Food was good, Ribeye was excellent. Calamari for starters was in a puddle of oil on the plate, needs draining on blue cloth before serving. Really nice looking restaurant, but service was poor. Waiting staff very young and poorly trained. Didn't know what draught lagers were available or bottled ciders. Had to go back to the bar twice to ask. Also asked by three different waiters if we wanted to see the dessert menu. Would definitely return for the steak, but service needs to improve
- very good experiance.OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 2/8/2014once inside could not belive it it was very nice it all ways , but would sugest you clean up outside as first impressions may count with a lot of people. but have to say a great meal all round and we will be backSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- We have run outHAbeautDined on 1/8/2014They had run out of beer, dessert, fish, coffee machine not working etc. waitress was very slow, didn't have much of a clew and didn't seem to want to be there. Food was very greasy and expensive for what it was.Special Features:
- It was "ok"Angel1978Dined on 1/8/2014Surprised with the decor inside, not what we were expecting as when you first arrive you think you are about to walk into a saw-dust pub. It is actually very nice, quite contemporary and comfortable, we were quite impressed. After waiting 40 minutes we were told that our food would be a further 5 minutes! Chateaubriand looked like a large fillet steak, cut into 6 slivers. Cooked nicely, but completely tasteless. Service was terrible. We had an issue with waiting for drinks and them not having the drinks we asked for due to "issues"! Really, on a Friday night. Will we go back...unlikely. Steak from our local pub have more taste!Special Features:

EXCLUSIVE: Chord Overstreet Brings SexyBack, Speaks on Glee Character, Hairby Gabrielle Compolongo at . Comments
Glee viewers first met Chord Overstreet on the season two premiere, but we were truly introduced to his character of Sam Evans on "Duets."
It's safe to say Sam didn't just win over Quinn, he won over millions of viewers with his bad jokes and acoustic talents. In the following interview, Overstreet talks about joining the cast and even gives us a sneak peek at the song he'd most like to sing on Glee...
What it was like to join such an established cast?
It's fun. Luckily, they were all really cool and they're all super sweet people and they were really nice to me. They could have been really big divas and really rude, but they were really cool and a blast to work with. They made me feel welcome.
Is your hair really dyed?
It's naturally dirty blonde. So it's highlights. I had it down to my chin in this beginning of this year, and then I had them cut it from eight inches long to two inches long. I wanted to go brown and the lady made it black, so they basically had to bleach it to get the black out. It's really damaged it.
I would like to sing John Mayer's "My Stupid Mouth" because I think it's funny and hilarious because it's a fun and cool song. It's always been one of my favorite songs. That, and maybe like "SexyBack." I think it would be fun. Everybody could get a good laugh at me dancing.
** TV Fanatic note: Overstreet actually sampled a few bars of this JT classic for us during the interview. Listen to it HERE.
How many episodes are you booked for?
I'm not booked for a certain amount. After a certain numbers, it goes to series regular. I don't know how much that is. It could be indefinitely, and I could be off the show tomorrow. I don't think that's the case, since I've sent the script. As far as I know, it's open ended. Hopefully, the producers and writers and creators like the stuff I'm doing and hopefully I'm making them happy and I keep working on the show.
With which New Directions member do you most/least want to duet?
I would love to do a duet with Amber Riley because she's so amazing. She's a great vocalist. But I would also not like to do a duet with her because she would blow me out of the water [laughs]. She is awesome, she's got some pipes on her. I would love to do a duet with Lea, also. She's great, super talented girl.
Has singing always been a part of your life?
Yeah, I've been singing since I was little. I've been doing it on and off for about 15. I started it on my own.
How many shower scenes are we going to get with you?
Gosh, I hope about 15 or 20, every episode. That would be fun.
i like him in duets when he sang with quinn fabray
No, just no. The show coldn't work without Puck
dude, he's clearly making a joke, he's not actually full of himself.
You know, I like him a lot, I find him charming in an awkward down to earth kind of way--
Series regular for sure!! ;) Also, writers, Puck better be back soon or you're in trouble.
I really like Sam, but...uh, it wouldn't be Glee without Puck
and I almost like Puck and Quinn together better, I'm not sure-
You've got a good storyline right there, we need the bad boy.
im kinda hoping he doesnt get a series regular....
I don't mind if he becomes a series regular but I don't want Puck to leave. What Finn said is true, the show needs his bad persona. Sam is a cute "blonde" and he cannot be the bad guy. Finn is also kind of on the cute side, although sometimes I find him "retarded", and his face expressions such a turn off lol
@Avalen not necessarily. Amber is an awesome singer but her voice is really meant to do solos (I mean how great does she sound with a huge gospel choir behind her!! :D), it's so powerful that someone has to REALLY be able to match it or at least COMPLIMENT it to duet with her successfully (Naya did a fab job this week). Lea's voice is more versatile in regards to duets. She has a wonderful voice for solos and it also lends slightly better to duetting with people, it doesn't overpower them, whereas with Amber you WANT her to amp it up and overpower people cos that's why she's so awesome (my favourite of her performances will always be 'Jump' and her imitating the guitar, that was such an inspired use of musical arrangement and total genius!). Maybe Chord is just intimidated because he knows/thinks his voice wouldn't neccessarily compliment or match Amber's? I don't see why one has to be better than the other, they are both amazingly talented but in very different ways. The beauty of it really is how well they go together (which sadly doesn't happen as often as it should). I think they are the best vocalists on the show, tied (with Chris, Kevin and Naya next down the list).
The question is: With which New Directions member do you most/least want to duet? He doesn´t want to have a duet with Amber Riley because she´s too good, but he wants to have duet with Lea Michele, does he just admitted Amber Riley is better vocalist than Lea Michel?
With this huge promotions Ryan Murphy and his productions are giving to build up Chord Overstreet, now I´m more convinced than ever, Chord O. will definitely replace Mark Salling, no matter how many different kinds of explanation Ryan Murphy and his people giving it to the media! I think Mark Salling role will be lesser and lesser until it´s completely disappeared.
How many shower scenes are we going to get with you?
Gosh, I hope about 15 or 20, every episode. That would be fun. .....be more full of yourself...

I like the villager trading idea, possibly found naturally in plains biomes.
***what is***
a 1/40 chance drop from Zombies (rare drop) why? don't ask me...

Oh, do you know what this is? It's a signature! Oh, by the way, Sword Art Online is awesome. Don't know what that is? Then you've never lived... Listen to Soundcloud! soundcloud.com

Jeb tweeted that he might add them to villager trading, If i remember correctly he also started a reddit page asking people what different ways you could obtain them.(but I can't seem to find the page anymore )
I think it would be fine if you could get them by either a rare drop from a zombie, an villager trading

You may like this post, but be aware, you are probably not doing it by your own accord. You probably just saw one of the Silence, and it made you like this post with post-hypnotic suggestion. You won't remember it, no one can. When you see a Silence, it tells you to do something. Then when you look away, you forget you ever saw a Silence. They've ruled the world since the beginnings of civilization with post-hypnotic suggestion. Whenever they need something, they merely tell someone to do it.
And just in case:

EDIT: So I see that the seeds drop from zombies ok and cool! I wonder if npc zombies will be the ones to drop them but, it's probably just from any zombie. That would be cool if npc's farmed them though even though that would defeat the point of a rare drop BUT like with coca beans they used to be a rare drop and now there in the jungles. The same thing has a chance of happening to potatoes and carrots I believe.

Actually the drop doesn't come from zombies according to this snap shot... you grow them! The snap shot in this vid includs alot of new things like dyeing dog collars and leather armour and bringing mobs like dogs and pigs etc. into thenether! Please take 9 and 13 secs to watch this vid I shows just about everything sweet Minecraft just went up a notch.... sorry could help it I had to say it but it's true!
Well, you do grow them, but where do you get the seeds? I think what they were trying to say is that the seed potatoes and carrots come from zombies. I think that if they come from zombies that is really cool! It now gives me a reason to kill zombies.
I hope I helped and made you smile!

What use are they? Each is a new food source, and much like raw pork and beef, give little if eaten raw. However, the potatoes can be baked (smelted) in a furnace, and is pretty close to the same as cooked chicken. And the carrots can be combined with gold nuggets to produce golden carrots, which are very much the same as golden apples. They can also be used to make a night vision potion.
One other possible use that was hinted at is to combine a carrot with a fishing rod, and it could be used to steer a pig you ride (with a saddle). Currently, there is no way to control the pig's movement when you ride them, but that might change soon. It's kind of a play on the "Carrot and Stick" persuasion technique - The carrot is reward for good behavior, and the stick is punishment for bad behavior.

you must first invent the universe. -- Carl Sagan

Impossible is a big word thrown about by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it.
"Impossible in not a fact. It's an opinion.
Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare.
Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary.
Impossible is nothing.
