I am late in posting my view...but I have the advantage of seeing the interesting variety of the comments. AOT ( Anatomy of Thought) is my retirement project, of some 20 years. Yes I am that old. I will share some of my results, stating them as mere assertions.
1. Thought and thinking are brain processes (electro-chemical-neural) and are therefore in the physical/energy world.
2. To the extent that anything thought of, exists as a brain process (at least).
3. To the extent that any thought that is supported by sensory data received from the world we take to about the real world. Plus any data and processes genetically embedded in our brains, constitute our entire knowledge and understanding of the real world.
4. One of the inherited processes vitally necessary to our survival is an incorrigible faith (belief) that certain of the processes of the brain are factual, and represent the real world and we depend on them totally.
5. Hence the evolvement of faith. This would apply to any sentient being.
6. Not unusually, evolved capacities are put to other uses.
7. Religion is a "Meme" that depends on faith. Meme is an invention of Richard Dawkings: it is simply an idea that takes hold on conscious brains. It spreads like virus through the human population. It is self replicating like a gene, hence its name.
8. It is my view that (unremarkably) religion is a faith.
That underlying science is a faith... in the regularity of the universe/repeatability of scientific experiments.
9. Finally none of this removes our obligation to humanity and the rest of the universe to manage and examine in all posssible ways these (and other) articles of faith.
There is no guarantee that these faiths are "good". Any of then may lead to the loss of our species (and many others).
So be of good cheer...do what you can and do try to be tolerant. ib
I've only read the summary of the article and already its off to a bad start. Science certainly has taken on the task of trying to explain religion but in no way is it an attempt to 'resolve the problem' of science and religion 'being at loggerheads'. Its an area of scientific interest for the same reasons that all the other areas of scientific inquiry are areas of interest.
Sorry for repaeting the two C. S. Lewis quotes already given two places down from here. I thought it a pity they are damaged by quotations marks wrongly presented; and I have a third one.
- Naturalism, rigorously taken, cannot refute anything but
- No amount of knowledge about how states of mind are produced could of itself teach you which states to prefer.
- If you're approaching God not as the goal but as a road, not as the end but as a means, you're not really approaching Him at all.
I don't think anyone can explain the existence (or non-existence) of religion. One can only study the biological effects not the causes.
May I add two quotations from C. S. Lewis:
- �€œNo amount of knowledge about how states of mind are produced could of itself teach you which states to prefer.�€�
- �€œNaturalism, rigorously taken, cannot refute anything but itself�€�.
I have often thought that there is an obvious evolutionary effect (I hesitate to use the word benefit) created by religions. Religions often foster a murderous attitude to those who are not their co-religionists. It is not the benefit conferred on the members of the religion so much as the severe disadvantage conferred on non-believers �€" whether members of no religion or of other religions.
For example, how many non-Christians survived in Spain after 1492? The Spanish today are the descendants of those who perpetrated or acquiesced in the purges of the inquisition. But this is not a unique example. Many Western European countries have had periods in their recent past where similar behavior occurred. Over evolutionary time, non-believers fail to �€œcompete�€� because they are dead.
Murder is not the only tool used by religions. Economic disadvantages have also been used in more �€œhumane�€� ways to favor co-religions, and disfavor others. This ranges from disqualification from office of non-members of the religion to preferential treatment for the �€œright sort�€� of people.
My point is, that it is more by disadvantaging nonmembers of the religion, rather than by conferring benefits on members of the religion, the religions work their evolutionary effect. In other words it is not through �€œgood�€�, but through �€œevil�€� that religions work.
Just another example of people with too much time on their hands.These scientists will find the whole thing explained in the writings of goethe, feuerbach and especially the writings of sigmund freud, the future of an illusion and the answer seems to be that religion is necessary and sufficient for psychological equilibrium in any society more dvanced than hunters and gatherers. besides as jurgen haabermass has pointed out recently chritianity is the wellspring for all our ideas and will continue to be so. all christians know that it is impossible to prove the existence of god but that it is faith that makes life tolerable in an unfair and unjust world. these scientists need their bottoms spanked and redirected to more frutiful research rather than making a momentary name for themself by proving something that people rely on does not exist.
Finding God through Science, good quest. People from ages are tying to find God, in fact people want to see God with naked eye, hence they fail. One can see God by closing your eyes and by opening your heart's eye. God is everywhere yet no one can see.
Simple is, Man is not born as per his own will, nor he dies on his own will. He comes from some where and returns from where he came. Means, there is a world after his death, the next world. Those who belief in next world are lucky and those who want to have scientific proof of next world don't have the belief.
Everything thing in universe is working in a rhythm. First, ask science to find any a-rhythmic activity in whole universe. Everything, in the world is for some specific time period (everything thing living or non living have certain age).
Any thing, that has a beginning has an end.
There is a concept of 'limit'. There is a limit applied to everything. Someone has set limits. God has set limits and he descends knowledge as and when required.
Anything, that make you move away from your Creator is questionable. All the powers belong to God and He shows right paths to those who have hearts having true quest of GOD. May Allah (God) guide people to right path as nowadays it has become very difficult to find and remain on right path.
We are mortal, think about your death before starting thinking about God. Everyone will face is Lord in the next world so do what He commands you and guides you for your betterment in both the worlds.
Strange one. You say most of the scientists participating in the project are athiests, so this may create a bias in the results, Yet having religious people will create the same bias the other way. Can anyone really have a subjective approach to this subject?
I personally trust scientists more as they are more likely to be transparent in their findings and they are the most realistic option as most religious people will refuse to look at their faith through the scientific lens anyway.
Nice alternative experiment: Create eternal spritual beeings with free will, put them in a mortal physical body, and see if they can create love from nothing. The only problem is that you'd need to be all powerful.
But here's an experiment you can try at home...
Hypothesis: Trust in the Lord and you will be blessed beyond your understanding.
Very good article. It gets the ultimate point of the science vs. religion debate: what is the aim of science? More knowledge for more power or helping the Good of man?It is the only question that matters in the end. Respice finem. For those wuo care about it I am a catholic. Praise be to Our Lord.

There is a strong connection between language and religion. Without words you can't talk about God nor about afterlife. There is no wonder that all human populations have both language AND religion, in one way or the other.http://yogasutra.areablog.it/a-che-serve-la-religione
It appears as if God is going to have the last laugh on everyone. What the combined 'wisdom' of science and religion both presume is not possible has now become all too possible. For the first time in recorded history, a religious tenet exists offering access, by faith, to absolute proof for its belief. Quoting a review of The Final Freedoms from OVI:"Using a synthesis of scriptural material from the Old and New Testaments, the Apocrypha , The Dead Sea Scrolls, The Nag Hammadi Library, and some of the worlds great poetry, it describes and teaches a single moral LAW, a single moral principle offering the promise of its own proof; one in which the reality of God responds to an act of perfect faith with a direct, individual intervention into the natural world; correcting human nature by a change in natural law, altering biology, consciousness and human ethical perception beyond all natural evolutionary boundaries. Understood metaphorically, this experience of transcendent power and change is the 'Resurrection' and justification of faith."If this material is confirmed and there appears to be both the means and a concerted effort to test and authenticate it, the greatest unresolved questions of human existence, meaning and evil may finally have been untangled, but not by science or religion!Test it for yourself, I already have: http://ww.energon.org.uk
This could and should be a valuable study. One is reminded of the Dalai Lama's willingness to go thru such scrutiny and his encouragement of open-minded scientific inquiry and testing of the tenets of his Faith, partially. As presented however the study seems to suffer from the classic specification error problem, i.e. what questions and models of the phenomenon is one explicitly or implicitly presuming ? In this case the hypothesis that doesn't appear, as reported anyway, to be on the table is what is the socio-biological value of values. Long an item of study in Religious and Philosophical circles (& note it was really only in the 19thC that Religion and Philosophy parted company but prior to ~ 1500 the two were seen as complementary lines of inquiry in all civilizations)the last several decades of work in the New Institutional Economics have identified values and belief in the social order as the sine qua non of complex societies. See for example the work of North.To put it another way what questions does Religion help one address, is their evolutionary value to successfully addressing them and what alternatives are there ? Those should be structural factors in the investigations design and don't appear to be. I'd suggest that after 500 years of progressive nihilism we've found that Science is great for analyzing the world but not very useful for addressing the Big Questions of what are we doing here ? What is the purpose of life and the meaning of the Universe ? And so on. Without attempting to resolve them we need to acknowledge their fundamental criticality to individual and collective well-being. There's your evolutionary advantage - a society which helps people cope whether thru its' Mythology, Religion or Philosophy is healthier, happier, more productive and more likely to rise above the always present challenges of coping with existence.
I'm a little bit puzzled why does the Web address of this article ends with that number...
Am I justified in being worried by the fact that at least on the surface it'd seem that quite a few people who have seen this article have been unable to read it and see it for what it is- not an attempt to bash God or Christianity, or religion, nor some endeavor to keep money from the needy (all those bastard scientists are keeping the world poor, for sure), but an attempt to gain more knowledge of how human beings work. Again, I say, if anything, the studies could be used to support the viewpoints of the religious (although that would be a misuse, but, oh well...)Is it taboo to have God and science in the same sentence? Is the educational system so incapable of engendering critical thought(if, indeed, that is its purpose?)?I admit, the number of replies to the article is limited, and as such represents a poor sample consisting of individuals compelled to react to it. Therefore, it is a biased sample. But one can only wonder how many more read this bit of journalism (hebdomadaire-ism?) and came away with the same conclusion, namely the heathens are trying (and failing by default) to bring down God?If this is the way things stand, then there isn't even much hope for dialogue, let alone understanding, but I guess that doesn't change the status quo, only the way I should look at it.
�€œWhat do angels think of our world?�€�
Our scientific and costly attempts
Proving the existence of God
Is to what avail?
Wasting more time and money
Why not prove another obvious
Our children have parents
God will only be found
By those who are willing
To earnestly seek Him
God will assuredly hide Himself
He will not be found
By any scientific scoffer
�€œGod will indeed have the last laugh�€�
ddraiq encompasses all that is the human condition and why science will never satisfy itself as to the presence or otherwise of "God".The tussle between our logic and intuition has been going on since the beginning of time and its only purpose as far as I can see is to elicit understanding about life.It is perfect in its construction of opposing ideologies which question incessantly, and in so doing have the potential to generate understanding.The continued fly in the ointment is the human characteristic of a desire to "be right" and thereby dominate. Over the millennia this obsession with domination rather than learning has held back our own evolution as a species, by continually operating closed minds.If we look at our development as a species, our personal development pails into insignificance compared with our technological achievements, even over just the last 50 years. If we better managed our scientific and religious ideologies, recognizing that they represent our greatest opportunity for learning and personal development then we would mature as never before as a species.Too much of the human condition is avoided or disregarded by science because it does not fall within scientific disciplines.Time and time again new thinking is dispatched with an arrogance that beggars belief - Professor James Lovelock's Gaia theory is surely the most recent example. Science has done more than any other area of human activity to contribute to our development as a species but this has been at the cost of a greater understanding about life.Science will never become an authority about "the intuitive" because that it not what it is capable of achieving within its tried and tested remit - which also incorporates faith and intuition.Was it not the father of science, Archimedes, who demonstrated this in the bath with those immortal words "Eureka"!Surely the quest is not for domination but to open our minds to learning - to better understand the language of dreams, the workings of intuition and the myriad of other characteristics that constitute the human condition outside of scientific rationale - and show no signs of diminishing.
The one question which this study never tries to answer is "does God indeed exist?". Now the quick refutation is that "this study is not about the existance of God, but an attempt to understand why people believe in God".
Of course it is, but it is an attempt to understand why people believe in God while the never considers whether God does in fact exists. As such, all these studies are in fact based on the fundamental yet un-proven (and unprovable) premise that God does not exist.
"Experiments designed to look at the mental mechanisms needed to represent an omniscient deity", the levels of dopamine in the blood stream, MRI's, neurochemical studies, linking religious belief to social or economic insecurity, individual versus group evolutionary benefits, the power of religion to create cooperation etc. are all rather interesting. However this is neither a complete nor an intellectually honest scientific inquiry until it studies all alternatives.
The one alternative which this article never mentions is that proposed by the faithful. That religion exists simply because God chose to reveal himself to Prophets, Imams etc. These prophets, Imams, Budda etc subsequently revealed His will to us.
The irony of this is that to fully and completely disprove the existence of God it would not be sufficient to peruse ever last corner of the universe, understand every last detail of the atom nor study ever last minutia of human psychology. Even if science were to embark on so great a venture it would still not disprove a belief in a spiritual being (as some adhere to), an overreaching purpose, an inherent moral code, or life after death. They can pick and prick at these issues for millennia while on the other hand all one needs in order to believe in God is to experience his/her/their presence in some way.
Although some will try to brush of religious experience as something related to a seizure or a drug induced hallucination, again the evidence of healthy, sober and intelligent human beings who indeed believe in God while never experiencing a seizure or using drugs is overwhelming.
My heart wants to believe in God,but my brain does not.

- All atmosphere, lacking serviceDeidreVIPDined on 8/30/2014It was very disappointing to have a horrible waiter (tall, asian guy maybe in his 50s) and it effected my opinion of this place. We felt ignored the entire time we were dining. It took 15-20 to get water (after we FLAGGED down someone) and the restaurant wasn't even halfway full. It was like we were invisible! The food was okay. The petit filet mignon and the NY Strip was pretty bland, lacking flavor. They didn't cook my bf's NY Strip as he requested (medium) but he's too polite to say anything so ate it anyways. The oyster rockafeller, 2x baked potato & creamed spinach was delish. The "special garlic bread" was lame; pieces for $5! It was basically texas toast! The waiter had the audacity to ask me if we were using a GROUPON! NO! So RUDE!Special Features:
- Don't miss out...lam34Dined on 8/30/2014Best place to eat while in Las Vegas. I've been here several times over the years and the atmosphere and food are always great. The staff is top notch. There are lots of different dining choices when visiting Vegas. Don't miss in to an opportunity to eat here.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Old School Steak HouseGreatVIPDined on 8/29/2014OMG. We have dinner her every time that we travel to Las Vegas. It is an old school steak house that the Rat Pack would go to back in the day. Excellent food and service. We highly recommend. The best steak house in Vegas!!!Special Features:
- fabulous 50's must experiencefarmgirlDined on 8/29/2014This place is amazing...great ambiance and vibe and simply fabulous food. A time warp into the real 50's were the drinks were strong, the food real, and the service impeccable. it is now on my must do whenever in Vegas...its so old Vegas and so good!Special Features:
- Straight up Vegas!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/27/2014Wonderful old-world steak house and lounge. Lovely ambience, professional and friendly staff, delicious food, and legitimate charm made our evening a great jumping off to our fun night in Vegas!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Sometimes it's more than just foodPapasnBeerDined on 8/23/2014I've been to the Golden Steer several times. I won't rehash it's deep history but that is what makes this place. After all of these years the steaks are still very good and the highlight of their menu (the chicken parm is good too). I'll be honest and say many of the appetizers and sides are average and the wine list is nothing to write home about. Also cocktails are drab and stale. With all of that said, I do keep coming back. The history and stories bleed through the ambience. It's a nice change from the glitz of the strip. And like I said the steaks are yummy!Special Features:
- History...beepemDined on 8/23/2014There is no other place in Vegas that contains this kind of history or kitsch. This is a 100% gem! and the saddest part is it's not filled with modern celebs vying for their own space in here. There is no reason for Justin Timberlake or Ryan Reynolds to not have their own booths in here.Special Features:
- ReunionBourbonBuddy1Dined on 8/23/2014Had a great time again. My fourth time at Golden Steer, and the second time with my college buddies from Berkeley. Really like the atmosphere, definitely worth the short drive from the Strip. Would definitely come back again! As a side note, one of my friends on this trip told me that he's also brought business associates there since our first "college reunion" visit two years ago. Thanks again.Special Features:
- Old Vegashawk22Dined on 8/17/2014Great service, awesome Prime Rib, and a step back into old Vegas steakhouse atmosphere. I'd definitely go again.Special Features:
- MaryDined on 8/15/2014THANK YOU FOR MAKING MY FAMILY/KIDS FEEL SPECIAL. OLD SCHOOL CLASS AND CHARM. AWSOME FOOD. THANK YOU STEPHANIE-HOSTESS AND JACK OUR WAITER. VERY ATTENTIVE EXCE[TIONAL SERVICE.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OmegaDined on 8/15/2014Service was great and the Prime Rib was the best I've tasted in Vegas. Romantic atmosphere, loved the Rat Pack songs they play while your eating. Big food serving compared to other steakhouse. Average price for a fine dinning restaurant. I would definitely go back here for my next special occasion.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great experienceCAKdineDined on 8/15/2014Great experience, wonderful food. The staff is excellent. Service is outstanding.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Almost perfectAlmostPerfectDined on 8/14/2014Great rib-eye and crab legs. The steak was heaven....divine! Lyonnaise potatoes terrible - it needs to be taken off the menu - dried out potato chips topped with soggy onions.....they didn't even offer to remove it from the check. Stuffed mushrooms not much better. Stay away from the extras and you'll want to keep coming back. I didn't like the waiter talking about the tips not being what it used to be. Again the meats were the best in townSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- great for visiting guest42pelonDined on 8/14/2014We hosted two friends from southern California and wanted to show them a real Las Vegas steakhouse and city landmark. They were delighted to sit in Frank Sinatra's booth and how they were welcomed by several staff members when we arrived. They felt the food was outstanding and the service superb! A fantastic evening of food, wine and friendship was enjoyed by all. This is an authentic classy steakhouse like I remember my parents taking the family to so we would know the difference between a good restaurant and a very classy one which is the Golden Steer Steakhouse. This is an experience that should not be missed!!!!!!!!!!!Special Features:
- Celebrating a birthdayLocalsVIPDined on 8/13/2014Great ambience, old school and wonderful service. Hidden Gem.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- They are a legend in their own minddininLVDined on 8/13/2014This place is VERY over priced. The $8 salad arrived on a plate with white iceberg lettuce with a few leaves of green, 2 chunks of tomatoes & 2 slices of cucumber, a bunch of chick peas all mixed together with too much dressing plopped on a plate. TERRIBLE presentation. The baked potato was good size but arrived with a slice in the side with a blackened potato meat inside. Obviously they do not have anyone checking the meal before presentation. The steak was good but arrived as an over cooked rare. The offer was made to redo but due to the SLOW service I kept it as it was. This meal was worth about $25 max. Web menu advertises an 18oz steak, restaurant menu states 16oz. not sure it was 16 oz by the looks of both of our steaks.
- Walk back in time!FriscoCFPDined on 8/9/2014Very cool dinner spot. You can get a good steak anywhere but sitting in Clint Eastwoods booth at the Golden Steer was a rare experience. You can also enjoy dining where Marilyn Monroe, Joe DiMaggio, Elvis Presley, Muhammad Ali, or the great Sammy Davis, Jr. regularly dined (original leather in booth) after his shows. Steak and lobster par for Capital Grille, or the Palms. Great experience and a memory verses only another expensive steak. Give it a try!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Marigonzalez05Dined on 8/9/2014Fifth year going to the Golden Steer for my son's birthday. He is now 12 and feels like a king! The food is amazing. Huge portions, excellent service. The lobster, Alaskan crab legs, and prime rib is our family favorites. You definitely get what you pay for.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Old school Vegas!!VaBoyDined on 8/7/2014Remindes you of the way it used to be. From the classic bartender to the lovely hostess. Classic.Special Features:
- DisapointedLVGremlinDined on 8/7/2014Expecting "The best steaks on earth" our experience was quite different. I ordered the Top Sirloin medium, it came more on the well side. Taste wise the meat was not any different than a lower rated simple Steak House. Next disappoint: The Broccoli my wife ordered. Served straight from boiling water, unseasoned, no sauce, salt or pepper. Same to my "Fresh Cut Fries", just bland, not tasted like fries at all. My daughter had the "Veal Parmigiana" - tasted very similar like one from "the Italian place around the corner". While I still was eating my steak and fries, one of the servers already started to remove the plates from the table. He even wanted the plate with my fries, so I asked him to stop. Big NO NO for a fine dining restaurant.Special Features:
- Really GoodjerrywDined on 8/7/2014There is a good reason The Golden Steer has survived the onslaught of dining options around Vegas and in the Strip hotels. The service and food were excellent. Caesar salad actually made tableside (it's been a long time since we've had that) and steaks cooked as ordered. The 12 oz. filet is exceptional.Special Features:
- just amazingOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 8/2/2014Loved this place! The food, the service snd the history of this place made for THE best evening of our entire holiday! Fantastic!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Classic Vegas vibeAlexA23Dined on 8/2/2014The oldest steakhouse in Las Vegas has portion sizes that are from the old school days, LARGE. The bone-in rib eye was good, but I would say it was worth $52 but the sauteed mushrooms were amazing. The wine list was basic, common wines you can find anywhere, which I didn't mind because my favorite was listed. However, you go here for the experience. The ambiance was incredible. I sat in Clint Eastwood's booth and you could easily feel the history in this place. Be careful with cabs though. If you miss the restaurant, it's a challenge to get there as the parking lot is one-way. Also to note, this is at the end of a strip mall so it can be hard for new cabbies to find.Special Features:
- Good old school vipe.OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/1/2014The Caeser salad was a must. I really enjoyed the chicken of the angel main dish and the side of fries hit the spot. The wine list was lacking one of the only real draw backs.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Grand Historic Steak HouseNancyMVIPDined on 7/28/2014The Golden Steer has been around a long time, and still retains the elegance, fine food and service, and attention to detail it did when the Rat Pack and other big name celebrities made it their hang out. Prices are what you would expect at a Las Vegas prime restaurant: mostly a la carte entrees and on the high end. The experience and food are worth the expense. The atmosphere is refined. Servers are in tails, most of whom have worked there for years. The noise level is restrained, allowing you to converse with ease. Few tourists know about the Golden Steer; you will find it full of locals. Tell your taxi driver or the concierge at your hotel you are going to the Golden Steer and s/he will respond that you "know Las Vegas".Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Dinner with HubbyHBunnyDined on 7/26/2014I selected this restaurant to celebrate my Husbands Birthday. He was very pleased with the selection and we will be dining here again!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Wonderful Experience!KathDined on 7/24/2014On a recent trip to Vegas my husband and I had dinner here on the recommendation of a family member. We loved the ambiance when we first walked in. It was quite and and not brightly lit with a bunch of glaring white lights. The servers moved around quickly and quitely. We started with a shrimp cocktail. The shrimp were large and the cocktail sauce had just the right amount of kick to it. My husband went with the Rib-eye and I had the T-bone. Both steaks were tender and juicy and cooked exactly as we ordered them. The baked potato we split was huge and also cooked perfectly. We will be eating here again on our next trip to Vegas!Special Features:
- great dinnerOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 7/23/2014we found this restaurant via groupon. The service was outstanding. The hostess alone I would return for she was inviting, engaging and such a lovely person. Our meal was exceptional. The menu is a little pricey compared to Canada however the portions were very large and were perfectly prepared. We would definitely return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Great food, service can improve.911techDined on 7/20/2014Visit the Steakhouse two days in a row. Was so impressed the first night, we came back. BIG mistake, we only ordered appetizers, soup and salad. It took for ever to get our soup and salad. Would I come back ? Yes of course, the steak and prim rib, where the best I've ever tasted. Overall 4.5 stars out of 5.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Overpriced Vegas landmarkMars702Dined on 7/19/2014We went because of it's history and long time notoriety as a great steakhouse. We were disappointed with the average service and average food with above average prices (Caesar salad is $12 a person). Won't be going back although the atmosphere is great, the food and service didn't warrant the price.
- Elegant Old VegasOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 7/18/2014This is my go to steakhouse. I love it here and still how GS relishes in old time vegas... So relaxing and a chill place. I decided to get the salmon this time and the salmon was cooked just right and full of flavor.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- SteerDined on 7/16/2014The food was cooked perfectly. Although the service was efficient, it seemed by using so many servers at each table they were confused and didn't always know who ordered what, and what had and hadn't been served yet. With that being said, overall the experience was good enough and I would reccommend this restaurant to others.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ExcellentgrodgDined on 7/15/2014Over the last 30 years this Golden Steer has never disappointed me.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Food and ServicetabbishDined on 7/14/2014I really loved the atmosphere and service! The lady who brought over the dessert with the sparkler was super nice and all the staff was professional and polite. The food was great and the bartender did a great job as well.Special Features:

The latest novel of The Chaos! Quincunx series by Garry Thomas Morse has arrived!
In Minor Expectations, Diminuenda discovers that she stands to win a vast inheritance from her estranged father, the inimitable Minor, if she travels into the past and "collects" a number of objets d'art. This prequel within a sequel is fun and accessible even as it keeps up a steady (and heady) pace of literary and philosophical reference. Readers travel with Diminuenda to classical Greece, ancient Rome, medieval Scandinavia, Renaissance Italy, pre-revolutionary France, and Victorian and World War II-era England, meeting (often in comic circumstances) such illustrious personages as Socrates, Emperor Tiberius, and Ada Lovelace, the first computer programmer.
Minor Expectations is available for $16.95.

Baba Brinkman, author of The Rap Canterbury Tales, is currently in the United Kingdom performing it (as "The Canterbury Tales Remixed") at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Brinkman wrote about his career bridging rap and poetry in The Guardian on July 30, 2014. Here is a brief excerpt:
The Rap Canterbury Tales was a spin-off of my English master's thesis, which compared the literary and cultural themes found in Chaucer's Tales with those of hip-hop culture, especially the battle rap scene typified by the Eminem film "8 Mile." The common threads are diverse and intriguing. Live oral performance is paramount, rhymed storytelling, wordplay, social commentary, audience response, and above all the supreme duty of the rapper/poet: to entertain the crowd. As the Host tells the Monk: "Whereas a man may have noon audience / Noght helpeth it to tellen his sentence." Or as the rapper Rakim informs us: "No mistakes allowed, / 'Cause to me, 'MC' means 'move the crowd'."

From Maylis de Kerangal, one of the most exciting novelists writing in France today, comes Birth of a Bridge, a literary saga of a dozen men and women – engineers, designers, machinery operators, cable riggers – all employees of the international consortium charged with building a bridge somewhere in a mythical and fantastic California.
Author Martine Desjardins describes Birth of a Bridge as "a grandiose, gravity-defying feat of narrative structure, acting as a bridge between reality and myth." Told on a sweeping scale reminiscent of classic American adventure films, this Médicis Prize–winning novel chronicles the lives of these workers, who represent a microcosm of not just mythic California, but of humanity as a whole.
Birth of a Bridge has now been translated into English by Jessica Moore and is available from Talonbooks for $16.95.

3.83/5 rDev -3.8%
Appearance - Dark reddish-brown with a frothy, dense head.
Aroma is caramel and dark fruit with a faint backdrop of yeasty bubblegum.
The mouthfeel is creamy and smooth and the flavour presents a dark, fruity sweetness followed by a gentle finishing bitterness.

On-tap at Prime 16 into an Old English Oil tulip.
A: My glass arrives full to the brim with clear ruby-brown liquid that's alive with fine effervescence; the bubbles serve to sustain a finger of delicate tan head that shows great retention and leaves light lace. Attractive.
S: Deep, bready malt is front and center, with serious toastiness and some background yeast; dark fruits and spice lie underneath. Nice.
T: Decadent maltiness dominates throughout, but is nicely restrained by some drying yeast spice on the finish. Flavors of nuts, prunes, cake, bread, and toffee provide plenty of sweet intensity, only to be balanced by a clean bite of minerality and light alcohol. Excellent.
M: Fairly hefty medium body that explodes with prickly carbonation. A little over the top.
O: This was my first encounter with a Belgian Scotch Ale, but I had no fears - in my experience Brasserie D'Achouffe can do no wrong. While not quite as transcendent as Houblon Chouffe, this brew is quite tasty indeed. The Scottishness of the malt character was apparent, although the overall effect was decidedly skewed to the Belgian side of the continuum. I kind of hoped that they would have thrown some peat-smoked malt into the grain bill, but I suppose it turned out just fine as is. Well done, gnome.

Poured from a bomber into a Fin du Monde glass.
Medium brown cloudy brew. Lovely malty aroma withsubtle fruity Belgian yeast. This is smoother, dryer and more subtle than many Balgians, thi smust be the Scottish influence. Still more Belgian than Scottish. Very nice and good with food.

4.03/5 rDev +1.3%
Poured from a capped 750mL bottle into my Trappist Westvleteren goblet.
Dark rosewood liquid, somewhat cloudy with cardinal highlights and many tiny dregs of lees floating around. A wheat half finger of delicate creamy foam rests up top, crawling up around the collar where it leaves soapy layers of lacing in its wake. Excellent retention.
Bananas, gentle yeast phenols, English digestive biscuits or maybe graham crackers, and a hint of plum in the nose.
Tart palate entry, quickly broken up by complex delicate yeast notes and a wave of rich malt. Fruit pits (cherry, apricot), toasted oat cakes, faint caramel, and more develop into a moderately dry, faintly bready finish. An unusual and vaguely mischievous flavor profile.
Soft, medium-bodied, effervescent, and gently warming.
An interesting beer, though beyond the increased maltiness I don't get much Scottish Ale character per se. Would pair well with a variety of dishes - I picked up another bottle to try in place of my usual Chimay Grand Reserve (Blue) in "Konijntje met Trappistenbier en Oesterzwammen," my favored Flemish rabbit recipe.

I had this beer today in Achel, Belgium. So nearby the abbey of Achel and the restaurant had no Achel available. This was a good alternative.
Poured in the original Chouffe glass the beer looks ok. Darkbrown to dark/darkred beer and small broken white head. Not much to smell. This beer is with dark stonefruits and malts. Some degree of sweetness in it but not much.
Good beer!

4.22/5 rDev +6%
Served in a tulip glass. Glass of cold water on the side to sip from periodically.
Appearance: As served the beer is a rich brown color tinged with a slight reddish tone. The ¼" head is light tan in color and recedes slowly but visibly. Sipping initially leaves scattered spots and speckles of lacing but eventually the head and lacing have gone well before the beer.
Smell: The aroma is fruity (dark fruits) with some traces of caramel and hints of chocolate and what may be something like coffee.
Taste: The rich complex flavors include some fruity sweetness (e.g., raisins, dates, figs) with some light spicyness blended with powdered cocoa or chocolate. This is very complex.
Mouthfeel: The mouth feel is medium bodied and soft with gentle carbonation. The finish is medium in length as the fruity sweetness eventually tapers off and the flavors end on a lightly bitter and dry note.
Overall and Drinkability: I thought the drinkability on this one quite good and I'd not hesitate to have a second, either right away or in the future. This is definitely a beer to drink with only a light chill. Over all I quite enjoyed this beer.

At the Thirsty Monk on tap. Pours a brownish amber with whitish head. Yeasty nose with notes of caramel, malt and alcohol. Taste is very complex and requires some sorting - belgian sugar, caramel, belgian yeast, toffee, candy, pilsner malts, saaz malts and light alcohol. Finishes clean. Nice scottish ale.

3.98/5 rDev 0%
Appearance: opaque due to the very dark brown, almost black colour. The head is deep tan, moderate in size and kind of foamy. It may not last very long and shows a good amount of lacing.
Aroma: yeast, spices and light notes of molasses.
Taste: spices, dark malts and earth hops.
Mouthfeel: kind of dry, moderate to high carbonation and a medium body. Wonderfully disguised high alcoholic strength.
Finish: spices and light bitter lingering aftertaste.
Overall: very good beer. Amazingly refreshing for a strong Belgium beer. In my opinion better than the blonde version. A must try.

McChouffe, poured from a 750 ml bottle.
Appearance: Into a chalice. A rich earthy brown in color with a tightly beaded off white head and some lace to show for it as well. Looks the part of a Belgian strong dark.
Smell: Suggestions of fig, raisen and plum round out the nose.
Taste: Raisen again dominates the flavor, with some red grape notes as well. Not overly sweet but bitterness is low. Some brown sugar and clean malty notes. Alcohol is nowhere to be found in the flavor profile. Really has a nice fruityness that I would attribute to the particular yeast strain used. Pretty delicious.
Mouthfeel: Light to medium bodied, fairly crisp and carbonation level is good.
Drinkability: Possibly my favorite beer from the Achouffe brewery. Drinks like a beer half its strength. Awesome stuff.

poured into a tulip glass
A: Pours a light brown, with a medium head retention, light in color.
S: A sweet/spicy aroma that includes hints of malts, brown sugar, and dark fruits.
T: A sweet toffee characteristic comes through, followed by a nice presence of hops, very mild. Raisins are also noticeable towards the end.
M/D: Fairly carbonated, which works well for this beer. Easily drinkable, even with a higher percentage of alcohol.

750 ml bottle split and poured into a Tripel Karmeliet tulip. 8.0% ABV, Best Before 2012.
Thanks to bnieman and his Dad for sharing this one!
A - McChouffe pours a hazy brown-amber color with a quickly fading off-white head. Great lace is left behind on the glass.
S - The aroma starts with a rich Belgian yeast and a spicy brown ale nose with moderate hops behind. This has a lot of mineral going on, much like a German pils.
T - Slight mineral pulls through into the flavor with a standard brown ale base. Belgian yeast spices it up adding, well, spice notes, and earthiness. Hops balance it out.
M - This medium-bodied and smooth-feeling brew is lightly dry but still maintains a smooth finish.
D - While this is a good beer, it's not something I'd be interested in having a whole lot of. One better split.

Dark brown color with orange-russet highlighting. Tanned head is quite clingy, somewhat foamy, and decidedly attractive. Nose is malty-spicy with some floral notes from the hops. Sweet dark fruits ensure an above average score, but nothing amazing.
Flavor is a nice mix of mild and funky, with toasted brown barley and cocoa up front, finishing with overripe banana and spices. Hops are also somewhat floral and add a prick of pepper. Alcohol is quite muted. Well brewed, and quite nice all the way through.

750ml bottle
A- Dark brown colour and a medium creamy head that disspiates quickly but leaves a thin lacing
S- Phenols, caramel, toffee. Good!
T- Maybe a little thin for its ABV but the hop bitternes gives it a nice character. You can taste toffee but the beer is nonetheless pleasantly spicy, you can also taste dried fruit. Overall this beer has a vague, but pleasant, "woody" character (i don't really know if there's a proper term for that...)
M- A nice warming and soft feel, that stiil leaves room for a harmonious whole of mouthfilling savours. Great mouthfeel
D- Really easy to drink (almost no taste of alcohol) but it leaves on the palate a dull sweet taste that gets you bored after a while

Pours a hazy dark brown color with a light but foamy head. Aroma is dark fruits, caramel, and spices. Taste is also dried fruits with caramel and a gentle earthiness. The beer is light on the palate and easy to drink. Even with 8% abv, you don't get much of the alcohol in the flavor.

The beer pours a cloudy brown with a decent creamy head. When I popped the top on the bottle, the head started to stream out the top. There is plenty of carbonation with this beer. There is a touch of lace too. The nose is fairly modest. It has all the characteristics of a Belgian, some candied, slightly boozy, sugary malts in the nose. There is a definite yeastiness in the aroma, some caramel, sweet malts, phenols. It isn't overly pronounced, but it is fairly typical.
The taste is quite good. For a Belgian this is quite smooth and creamy, and it doesn't have the prickly mouth feel and overcarbonation on the tonge that is typical. The booziness is subdued, there are plenty of sweet candied sugars, darkish malts, but no real spiciness to the beer. There may be a touch of coriander or star anise, but it is mild. The beer is quite pleasant. It isn't overly complex, but quite nice. The Belgiany candied sugars are very evident. The caramels and some darkish malts are quite evident as well. The aftertaste is mild. This one is worth seeking out for its overall pleasantness. The ABV is also well hidden which is appreciated.

750 mL bottle poured into a chalice.
Appearance: Pours a dark brown/black color. Big foamy off-white head, but it dissipates quickly into a bubbly film.
Smell: Deep malt aroma with strong hints of dark fruit (particularly fig).
Taste: Nice (though not particularly up-front) dark malt flavor with some great spicy hints, notably clove and nutmeg (especially towards the finish). Dark fruits come in more strongly a bit after the initial taste: particularly raisins and figs. The aftertaste is definitely bready and has elements of raisin and spice in it.
Mouthfeel: Medium- to heavy-bodied with minimal carbonation. Though not "sticky", there's definitely an enjoyable degree of viscosity here.
Drinkability: No taste of alcohol and it doesn't feel particularly strong either. Good flavor, and easy to drink.
Though not as complex or as good as some beers of this style, I'm glad to have found this one as it is quite enjoyable nonetheless. Rich and malty, with plenty of flavors, both subtle and not, this tends to showcase more of the dried [dark] fruit flavors generally found in this style - and it does it really well. I must confess, though, that I don't entirely get the whole supposed Scottish inspiration/connection with this beer, but who really cares: it is a great beer!

750 ml bottle, best before end 2013. Served in a tulip glass, the beer pours a murky reddish/brown color with a tan cola-like fizzy head. Head retention is good, with a decent amount of lacing. Aroma is dark fruit, brown sugar, caramel and a bit of spicyness. The brew tastes like caramel, dark fruit, nuts, bready malt, and a bit of nutmeg along with an earthy taste. There's also a slight bittersweet finish. Mouthfeel/body is medium, it's a bit creamy and is well carbonated. Drinkability is good, it's smooth and enjoyable. I think it's a good solid brew.

Purchased this brew for a birthday present to myself. I was very suprised to find a small Beligan selection in my local beer store. Germany doesn't really seem to import very very much, and is ususally overpriced, however, 1 liter wine-stlye bottle $3.50.
Opens with a nice loud hiss. I had refrigeradted the beer since this morning, but have let it come to room temperature.Poured into my Delirium Noel goblet-beautiful light mahagony tone of brown, nice ruby port-wine tones of cherry red. fluffy thick,yet active tan head. Very nice to look at.
Smells beautiful. Earthy, port wine notes, musty moss-dampness, figs, raisins, wine, cherry, oakiness, malt, brown sugar, light sweet hoppiness. Orange, mulled wine and a slight alcoholic spiciness factor into the mixture. A clean, fruity lavender note I find as well. Very strong nose, spicy yet sweet and rich.
Flavors of cocoa, fig raisin, clove, spicy dark bread, nutmeg, cherry is also prominent. The spicy yeasty finish mixed with a dusting of pepper, clove, and nutmeg blended with a slight heat from alcohol only felt on the tongue, not in the throat. the rum like finish is great.This is for fall and now, hot mulled wine season.
As I continue to sip, the spiciness only seems to increase, and open, making this more and more enjoyable as I drink. On this night, I could not ask for better. Stellar

App - Foggy, Caramel Color, short head
Smell - First thing I noticed; rich smell, kinda fruity... very ripe
Taste - Special. very much like the smell: fruity, ripe, rich and also reminding of toffee & caramel. 5 minutes after I was done I still had a nice after-taste
Mouthfeel - Clear down, very little bubble.
Drink - High alcohol, so eat with it but it goes down so smooth...

Immediate taste of dark crystal malts, toasted malts, and Belgian yeast phenols. What a great combination -- the spices and cloves of a good Belgian yeast like the Chouffe strain go so well with the lightly-kilned aromatics of a Scottish ale. This beer is light on the hops, which are floral and mild, and heavy on the light and sweet caramel flavor that comes from dark caramelized sucrose. Like a good wee heavy, you are simultaneously overwhelmed by malty sweetness and looking forward to your next sip. The dark caramel malts and caramelized sugar are nearly indistinguishable, with flavors of toffee, rum, and raisins. The aromatic malts and yeast give cloves, dark spices, and a nice earthiness coming from either yeast or dry-kilned malts. The body is on the lighter side of medium due to always-appreciated sugar additions, and the color is dark and rich without being black or opaque. The head is fluffy and dense like frosting on a desert. It's the contradiction between intense flavors, sweetness, and the surprisingly light (but not dry) finish that makes the beer so damn drinkable. The phenolics will send your mind into fantasy land, and the balance will send the beer to your belly.

What should have been a 60 minute drive from Dundee took me over seven hours. I think somebody should invest in a few more snow ploughs and some training as to how and when to use them. Fortunately I had a generous supply of Toblerone on board and a 750ml bottle of McCouffe waiting for me when I got home thereby combining some of my favourite styles of Winter brews-Belgian strong and 90 ('wee heavy').
Poured into my Duvel tulip (similar in shape to the d'Achouffe glass) this just looked superb. Big thick rocky head which gave complex light lacing around the glass as the beer disappeared. Beautiful rich ever so slightly cloudy brown. Fullish bodied with just an undercurrant of carbonation which gave the odd burp. Delicious restrained candy sugar element here but none of the rich morishness you might associate with a 'wee heavy' inspired brew but structually quite similar. Alcohol is so well hidden but also quite potent.
In the past I've often found d'Achouffe beers to be somewhat muddled in flavour for my liking but this one is full of definition. Truly greater than the sum of its parts. Yum.

Deep brown pour with a gigantic, rocky, tan head. Complex aroma of figs, cocoa, nuts, leather, tobacco, alcohol, fall leaves, and soft peat. A lot of that aroma gets hidden in the flavor but it still has some nice warming layers of peat, caramel, cocoa, nuts and alcohol. Dry, medium body with plentiful carbonation.

My previous review of this beer in a bottle:
I thought I was buying a LaChouffe, which is a Belgian Strong Pale. Once I got over the fact that I had it wrong, i really enjoyed this beer. It's very refreshing, especially for a strong dark. Good carbonation, good color, and not too hot with alcohol.
I would recommend but not over the LaChouffe.
Serving type: bottle

I recently had a twelve ounce pour at the Amsterdam Ale House. There it was listed as a scottish style dark belgian (Hence the Mc). Not sure why. It basically tasted like a dark belgian. As per my review above, great for what it is but not my favorite style.

RICHMOND, VA (WWBT) – The Feds say they were a highly organized and violent motorcycle gang, and they operated right here in the North Carolina and Virginia area. They're called The Outlaws.
Wednesday, five of the 27 members arrested in a national crackdown on the motorcycle club go on trial in Richmond Federal Court. There will be an overflow courtroom for spectators.
Jury selection began Wednesday for Jack Rosga of Milwaukee, Wis.; William Davey of Asheville, N.C.; Mark Spradling of Hickory, N.C.; and Leslie Werth of Rock Hill, S.C.
Rosga is the leader of what federal prosecutors call a highly organized criminal enterprise responsible for a number of violent acts aimed at gaining an advantage over the rival Hell's Angels.
Twenty-seven Outlaws members were indicted in June. One was shot to death as federal agents tried to arrest him in Maine. Fifteen have entered guilty pleas, charges against one were dropped, and six others will be tried later.
Assaults, kidnapping, drug dealing, explosives, illegal gambling, even attempted murder, all of it is laid out in a 50 page indictment. And much of it was planned and or executed at a secret club house in Petersburg, Va.
The lure of the open road wasn't the only adrenaline rush for some members of the American Outlaws Association. According to the Feds, AOA members are 21 or older, own an American made bike and are an organized crime syndicate.
The undercover two year long investigation took down members in 7 states. These are just a few of the 27 men arrested. Some are still rebelling against authority giving the camera the middle finger.
The Outlaws formed in Chicago in the 1930's. They are longtime rivals with the Hell's Angels. In 2006, after reaching an agreement with the Pagans, the Outlaws began expanding their territory from North Carolina into Virginia. They setup in Petersburg, and according to the Feds, broke the law in and around Richmond.
The Outlaws had a clubhouse in Petersburg. The location of this secret meeting place is never revealed in the court documents. But it is clear the undercover officers gathered a majority of their evidence at that secret meeting place.
According to the indictments, drugs like Vicodin, Oxycodone, cocaine and marijuana were running through the Petersburg club house.
In March of 2006 the group planned a show of force against Hell's Angels at the cycle expo held at the showplace in Henrico County. Outlaws and Pagans were marking their territory. Local police got wind of this showdown and refused to allow the Outlaws and Pagans inside.
In March of 2009 the Outlaws set up a trap for Hell's Angels and Desperados Motorcycle Club Members at Cockade City Grill in downtown Petersburg. An undercover police officer was cut on the head and his eye was injured. The fight spilled out into the parking lot. Guns were drawn, threats were made, but before there was any more violence, local police arrived and ended the stand-off.
The indictment alleges that Outlaws national boss, Milwaukee Jack came to the Petersburg club house and told members "they should shoot" their rivals.
By February of this year the Feds say the Petersburg club was dabbling in illegal gambling. By March, the Feds say members were planning a murder, and even wanted to know how to make several different types of explosives to destroy the Petersburg area tattoo business of a rival.
14 members have already pleaded guilty. Five Outlaws, including national president Milwaukee Jack are fighting the charges. They've asked for a jury trial Wednesday morning at the federal courthouse. That trial is expected to last two weeks.

Series/Tournaments: Zimbabwe tour of West Indies
Teams: West Indies | Zimbabwe
Big PictureGoing by the series scoreline so far, 2-0 in favour of West Indies, nothing out of the ordinary and unexpected has happened. A convincing 156-run victory in the first ODI and a seven-wicket win in the second. The second margin sounds comprehensive, but it wasn't. Zimbabwe showed a marked improvement on Sunday and halfway through the match, would have even thought of leveling the series. What they are left with now, is to play for a solitary win in the final ODI and win their first one-dayer since October 2011, when they chased 329 against New Zealand. West Indies will be brimming with confidence after a forgettable summer in Australia and look set to complete a whitewash.
After being thrashed in the first ODI, Zimbabwe put up a strong batting display in the second, which stretched the hosts to the 49th over. Their bowling and fielding went up a notch, but they failed to pick wickets despite the pressure they created. They have picked only seven wickets in nearly 100 overs and have conceded 611 runs at a dismal average of 87.29. They will rely on Kyle Jarvis and their most experienced bowler, Prosper Utseya, to give them breakthroughs, especially in the opening overs. The 22-year old Natsai M'shangwe has been the most economical in the two ODIs, but it's the wickets they need to win matches.
West Indies, meanwhile, would not want to be in the pressure-cooker situation they found themselves in on Sunday. Even though their batsmen have done their job, curbing Zimbabwe to a lower score would be ideal for them. If they win the third, it will be their first whitewash over a Test-playing nation since beating Bangladesh 3-0 in 2004.
Form guideWest Indies WWLLL
In the spotlightDespite scoring two consecutive fifties, Kieran Powell threw his wicket away in both the ODIs. Against a feeble Zimbabwe attack and in the absence of Chris Gayle, this will be the apt time for Powell to convert a start into a three-digit score and boost his confidence before the Champions Trophy in June.
Hamilton Masakadza was Zimbabwe's top performer on Sunday with a fifty and figures of 2 for 27 from seven overs. If Zimbabwe have to win, he will have to extend his stay on the pitch to chase or set up a big total for the in-form West Indies batsmen.
Team newsWest Indies are yet to announce their squad for the third ODI. Gayle and Darren Sammy were rested for the first two matches. With the series to their name, West Indies may want to give a chance to the left-arm spinner Veerasammy Permaul (if available), who has been in fine form for Guyana with 13 wickets in the last two Regional Four-Day matches.
West Indies: (probable) 1 Kieran Powell, 2 Ramnaresh Sarwan, 3 Darren Bravo, 4 Narsingh Deonarine, 5 Kieron Pollard, 6 Dwayne Bravo (capt), 7 Andre Russell, 8 Denesh Ramdin (wk), 9 Kemar Roach, 10 Tino Best, 11 Sunil Narine/Veerasammy Permaul
Zimbabwe: (from) Brendan Taylor (capt), Hamilton Masakadza, Vusi Sibanda, Tino Mawoyo, Kyle Jarvis, Tendai Chatara, Chris Mpofu, Prosper Utseya, Regis Chakabva, Malcolm Waller, Keegan Meth, Craig Ervine, Chamu Chibhabha, Tino Mutombodzi, Natsai M'shangwe

Amidst widespread rumblings of promotional controversy, Che Mills' jump to the UFC finally seems official. According to reports, Mills is set to face "The Ultimate Fighter" Season 13 alum Chris Cope at UFC 138 on November 5th in Birmingham, England.
His representatives at Team Trojan FreeFighters tweeted the news Monday, per MMA Weekly: "Che Mills signs with the UFC, debut is at UFC 138 in Birmingham vs TUF semi finalist Chris Cope!!" Mills' manager, Paul Hennessy, confirmed the announcement later Monday afternoon.
Still, the signing remains mired in a bizarre sense of uncertainty due to conflicting statements from the British Association of Mixed Martial Arts (BAMMA) of which Mills was formerly employed. According to BAMMA head of business development, Liam Fisher, "Che Mills is under contract to BAMMA and is scheduled to fight Joey Villasenor at BAMMA 7. Che has not been and will not be released by BAMMA."
In a strange game of back-and-forth, Hennessy disagreed with the notion, stating:
"I can confirm that Che Mills is not under contract to BAMMA, he does not have a promotional agreement with BAMMA, and has not signed a bout agreement for BAMMA 7.
"I can also confirm the Che Mills will not be fighting on BAMMA 7."
Mills (13-4) is currently on a four-fight win streak, including a nine-second knockout of Manuel Garcia. Chris Cope (5-1) was triumphant at his UFC debut in June, taking a unanimous decision over TUF-13 castmate Chuck O'Neil.
The updated UFC 138 fight card:
Middleweight: Chris Leben vs. Mark Munoz
Bantamweight: Brad Pickett vs. Renan Barao
Lightweight: Paul Taylor vs. Anthony Njokuani
Welterweight: Thiago Alves vs. Papy Abedi

Re: The Wounded
IMO, one of the finest hours of Trek ever. Great story, about what war and conflict do to people, and great acting. The final scene between Broadway vets Gunton and Meany is incredible. When Maxwell's voice breaks as he indirectly mentions his children, you just get chills. I'm getting choked up now just thinking about it. And the reviewers referral to the current conflict in Gaza - almost scary the parallels, and heartbreaking to think how many people on both sides will end up as emotionally "Wounded" as Maxwell and O'brien - the uncounted casualties of war. And Stewart was great in the last scene with Macet - you can feel Picard's seething anger just beneath the surface. This is what Trek was always meant to be.

starship we sing to your spirit and the beings that have served you so long and so well"
