A word from Barbacco
Barbacco is a modern trattoria that reflects the vibrant city life of San Francisco and offers a casual dining experience that delivers exceptional wines, personable service, and high quality food inspired by recipes from all regions of Italy. Barbacco looks sleek and urbane, with a welcoming feel. The 66-seat restaurant is fitted with a rich black marble bar for counter seating complimented by a bright yellow beverage case displaying coolers of wine on one side and the building's original brick walls on the other. There are also dark grain walnut individual tables and smaller communal tables that can accommodate up to 6 people. The space is full of energy and infused with a convivial atmosphere where guests share tables with friends or new acquaintances. Reservations are welcome, just keep in mind most of our seating capacity is comprised of counter space and shared communal tables. We also save room everyday for smaller walk-in parties.Continued

- NytomkeVIPDined on 9/26/2014I had made my reservation based on a friends recomendation. After reading several negative reviews about the service I was aprehensive. Our server Jee was knowledgeable and attentive. The space was busy on a Friday night but overall an enjoyable evening. The meatball dish was the winner at our table. The orecchiette was swimming in pesto and is the primary reason for my three star review. I will give barbacco a second chance.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Consistently Good!OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 9/26/2014This is my fourth time here. Each has been as good as the previous one. Great food!Special Features:
- Good Food, Bad ServiceAbbySFDined on 9/22/2014Our food was great, but the service was sub not. We had two waiters who seemed to be confused about which one of them was supposed to be serving our table. At the end of the night, when we went to split the bill, the waiter overcharged us. When we brought it to his attention, he denied it, but then after 15 minutes of explaining the issue to him he finally agreed and went to "fix" the bill. It was never fixed. We over paid simply because we were trying to get somewhere and didn't have any more time to fix the issue.I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2011VIPDined on 9/19/2014Disappointed. Hadn't been to barbacco in over a year and was disappointed in the lack of service and the quality of the main course.Special Features:
- Nothing Bad to SaydontnormallydoreviewsDined on 9/17/2014It was nice that they brought you drinks as you waited for your reservation, however it did feel a little weird standing by the door with a glass of wine....I felt like I was at a bar bar.....maybe put some seats there so you don't look like such an alcoholic who couldn't wait till they were seated...great staff though.Special Features:
- disappointed wth the serverMay565Dined on 9/17/2014the ambiance was great and the hostesses were awesome and friendly... but very disappointed with our server. she looked like she was not interested serving us and gave me a glass of water and just slid the glass next to me. my friends and i observed her and noticed that she was too nice to the other 2 tables and checked on them all the time and skipped ours. Very disappointed. And she never offered if we wanted dessert, and we had to ask for the dessert menu. You could really see she wasnt happy at all. The server was the only reason why i rated this 3 star. Food was good and we will still go back and recommend the place. BTW, the server's name is Leona. Hopefuly, next time around, she won't be our server!Special Features:
- One of threeOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 9/13/2014Asking them to pair the menu is the way to go. I always feel taken care of. You can't go wrong with Barbacco/Parbacco, Michael Mina or Tadich. All within doorways of each other. We had dinner at Barbacco and desert at Mina. Perfect.Special Features:
- Cej1Dined on 9/13/2014Moderately priced, high quality food. Great for groups of 6, as many tables are communal. Attentive service. Would definitely recommend.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- great for pre theaterSunLovingSueVIPDined on 9/13/2014near the Embarcadero 1 theater so great for dinner before the movie. The bruschetta are delicious and the home made pasta dishes unique. Great service and nice wine list by the glass. Communal tables for those who like that - I prefer a private two top!Special Features:
- Great food and quick serviceKevinDined on 9/12/2014The brussel sprouts are to die for! The pasta dishes are tasty, and the portions are generous. I would also recommend their desserts, as they are all pure perfection.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great for sharingGJFoodiesDined on 9/6/2014We keep coming back to share everything we order because no one wants to miss anything that comes to the table. Especially love the chitarra Sicilian meatballs--great texture and spices--and the tender, flavorful taglieta roasted flat-iron steak. The fried polenta and the chick peas are excellent together as a starters. Can be a communal dining experience if you want, or a table for two. Dessert of brown butter shortcake with berries and crime fraiche--mouthfuls of wonderfulness. You can only get beer and wine at Barbacco, but we arrived early for our reservation and had served by the friendly bartender at the nearly adjacent Perbacco sister establishment while waiting for our table. Overall a great evening for foodies.Special Features:
- Consistently goodMelanieVIPDined on 9/4/2014Delicious food - especially the various bruschetta options - peach and prosciutto is my favorite. Busy but attentive service (they helpfully leave a water carafe, though, so you needn't worry about an empty glass). Good energy. At least at lunch, private tables are limited - mostly shared tables or bar seating. Not necessarily a bad thing, but worth knowing going in!Special Features:
- SusanDined on 9/2/2014By 2 pm the noisy lunch crowd was gone and the restaurant was very quiet and we enjoyed the fact that we didn't have to raise our voices in order to be heard. The waiter was very helpful in explaining the menu to us and we each chose something different - pesto pasta with spinach/sausage, pork ragu, and corn gluten-free pasta. Surprisingly, the corn pasta was the overall favorite which we would order again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Thanks,Jee Kim!TokyoDined on 8/30/2014Friendly service and great food. The little noisy, but not bad.Special Features:
- Good Casual DiningSFCAVIPDined on 8/29/2014Unlike it's sister next door, Perbacco, Barbacco is a casual venue that serves quality food. The risotto was good with lots of mushrooms. The serving portion was more than adequate. The brown sugar cake was superb.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Loud but tastyOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/28/2014Popped in for a lunch date and while it was quite packed and loud, the food was excellent; when you can't get into Perbacco and need a pork sugo fix, Barbacco is there for you.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Overall good valueOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/27/2014Went here for my birthday. The food was excellent but very disappointed in the service. Towards the end of the evening our waiter went to the back and sat down as though he had enough of us! So rude! Someone else actually brought out my birthday dessert and the check. We were watching the end of the Giants game and enjoying our last sips of wine. The waiter's rude behavior really ruined an otherwise fine birthday dinner. The food is very good however.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Work lunchSFJC2014Dined on 8/27/2014Made reservations for a party of 3 at 11:30am on a Wednesday. Arrived on time and were seated right away at a communal table. Service was great, food tasty (ordered the tube pasta w/ pork ragu - good amount of meat, brussel sprouts as a side), and espresso for dessert. Overall, good experience. Co-workers were pleased with their entrees as well and one was a vegetarian.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Need new entreesOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/26/2014Love the appetizers, sides and desserts. I'm disappointed by the entrees - lack unique flavor.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Disappointed With Menu ChangeSFDinerDined on 8/26/2014We arrived for dinner looking forward to our usual treat of Lasagna Bolognese only to find that the new chef had taken the lasagna off the menu! This was extremely disappointing as the main reason we come here is for the lasagna. The staff suggested we try a pasta dish with similar ingredients, but it just wasn't the same. The lasagna had wonderful gooey cheese on top and was just divine. They gave us free dessert to make up for our loss, but we were very sad all the same. New Chef, if you read this, please please bring back the lasagna!!
- Food is great and abundantAmelieDined on 8/25/2014Food is Italian type. The burrata is amazing. The pasta dishes are pretty big and the prices are reasonable. Good wine list. Nice service. We enjoyed our dinner very much.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Try the SalumiBinkyDined on 8/22/2014We tried 3 bruschettas - mushroom, liver and tomato - all very good toppings and the bread was great - large enough to cut in half to share. Kale salad was great. Gluten free (corn) pasta with tomatoes not so good - pasta was a bit dry and taste was OK but needed something - some herbs or lemon or ?? Pork cutlet was very tasty - could have been cooked just a tad less. But the spicy Salumi was definitely 5 star - we didn't know what to expect (I was thinking more like charcuterie) but it was spreadable with just a kick of spicy-ness. I believe it is house made - definitely try some.Special Features:
- Amazing as usual!Kantdance13Dined on 8/22/2014I've been coming here for years. I love Perbacco, but when I want to have a quick bite I go to Barbacco. It's a fantastic menu that offers small bites as well as entrees. I find that the menu is perfectly designed for sharing a lot of the small plates without necessarily feeling like you've over ordered(which I always do anyways because the food is outstanding!). Try something different everytime: that's half the fun! Fantastic wine selection, accompanied by a staff that is both knowledgeable and friendly makes this spot one of my go to's.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful meal!JacksonianDined on 8/21/2014We had a wonderful meal! The four of us started with bruschetta followed by four pasta dishes that we shared. All were outstanding. We finished the meal by sharing three of the deserts. All were great with the olive oil panna cotta being the favorite. I highly recommend dining here.Special Features:
- always fun and great foodlindafromsfVIPDined on 8/20/2014Barbacco never fails to provide great food, energetic scene and good sevice.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Pride in what they doTastebudDined on 8/20/2014It is so wonderful to know that not only ownership and management take so much care and pride in what they do, but knowing it carries throughout the restaurant staff from the host/ hostess to the wait staff to the chefs, is very apparent and refreshing. The owner stopped at our table and had so much passion in his business and as the food appeared, it demonstrated the passion and care that went into making it. The waiter was happy, energetic and professional- a good mix. And the efficiency and speed in service during lunch was appreciated.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent for exploring flavorsChefanieDined on 8/18/2014The food was all good except for the pork chops which were mostly uneatable fat and the Brussel sprouts which were fried to a cinder in duck fat, though there was not much of a duck fat flavor. The sound is loud which made it difficult. I loved the chicken liver spread but would have appreciated more then a smere. The pasta with mussels was extrodenary as were the dessert. As much as I enjoyed the evening, not sure I would go back because of the noise.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Slow Starts for a Quick Supperstepvox75VIPDined on 8/16/2014Made reservation for 8:45 for 2, waited 20 min for seats. Kitchen delivery slow. Roasted peach bruschette were smoky, but peaches were cold and prosciutto flat - thought dish needed salt, not provided by the prosciutto. Tried the corn rigatoni w/ sweet corn/cherry tomatoes, because ingredients are seasonal. Rigatoni dry and stuck together from warming before buttery corn mixture (fresh, sweet and tasty) was mixed into now-dry pasta. Hand-cut noodle with meatball dish was fine. Because of two 12+ min lags for food, didn't have time to savor the food and barely made our 9:55 film start time at the nearby Embarcadero Theater. We usually had plenty of time, allowing an hour+ with a reservation, for similar small meals in the past.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent Food, Expensive WineOuagadougouDined on 8/15/2014Delicious and reasonable Italian food. The food is a bargain, the wine is too expensive. $14 for a fantastic plate of chitarra-cut pasta with Sicilian meatballs seems reasonable; $13 and $16 per glass for two average-size pours of decent but not memorable Italian wines is excessive. The grilled squid reminds us of Barcelona. We'll go back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- At 1st I was wrrd about the noiseCN65Dined on 8/15/2014This place is awesome for lunch. I had lunch there with a friend - we sat at the bar. At first I was concerned about the noise. I was meeting a friend I hadn't seen in a while and I was worried the noise would be too loud to have a conversation. The seating we had and the menu and our choices quickly removed those concerns. I had not eaten here before but had at the big brother location, Perbacco. The food here is equally impressive. I would highly recommend it. Great kale salad, special menu item: pasta tubes with pork and tomato sauce, awesome polenta and incredible butterscotch chocolate chunk gelato for dessert!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good spot for after workwickedfoodieDined on 8/13/2014I can't imagine making a special trip to the Financial District but for post work dinner it is an excellent spot. The ambiance is relaxing, the food was delicious and the service was just right. Not too fussie but had everything we needed.Special Features:
- Great Food; Interesting MenuRobFromDCVIPDined on 8/13/2014We had an enjoyable meal. The menu at Barbacco is interesting, innovative. I would recommend the Brussell Sprouts!Special Features:
- Nice placeBob0117VIPDined on 8/12/2014Very nice atmosphere with a lot of great wine choices! Appetizers were also excellent. A bit pricey.Special Features:
- Good food, funky seatingOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/12/2014Communal and bar seating only ... and lots of bar seating. The chitarra pasta dish was fantastic. All very well priced for what you get.Special Features:
- DissapointeddinerdudeDined on 8/9/2014I went to Barbacco for a first date as it was recommended highly on yelp. We were seated at the bar for dinner so we sat side by side and it tool about 15-30 minutes until anyone came to take our order. When he did he didnt ask if it was our first time or show us around the menu or make any suggestions. I had to ask, and then when we made our order he said it was good but we totally ordered wrong and had tons of dishes with bread and it was the wrong way to go. Anyways, food was good but I would not go back when there are so many great options in the city.Special Features:
- SunLovingSueVIPDined on 8/8/2014bustling atmosphere. Be ready to sit at communal tables. they seat six so if you are a pair you could be with 2 other couples. sitting at the long, low bar is another alternative. The Bruschetta is yummy. Fun place to dine and good food and service.Special Features:
- Tasty & Pleasanta24avrDined on 8/7/2014Of course the food was excellent but the clinch was the service. Casually attentive with great wine & menu knowledge, a relaxed sense of humor. Will go back & will have those decedent Brussel sprouts again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- LunchtimefoodieDined on 8/6/2014Since were were on or lunch, celebrating a co-workers birthday, we were served quickly which allowed ample time to visit and chat.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 8/2/2014Enjoyed the food, especially love the Farrotta. Very pleasant hostess, kept us informed on the wait time.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Casual yet distinctiveTrnrmomVIPDined on 8/2/2014Its been awhile since we've been here - ordering by iPad is gone. There are still the high communal tables up front and the more traditional tables in back. Decor is still modern & stylishly dark. We ordered 3 vegetable plates - corn, beets & carrots - the corn was the best of the bunch. Although tasty, nothing really stood out. We ordered farroto, pacheri (pasta tubes with pork ragu), orecchiette (pasta ears with fennel sausage), and spaghetti with mussels. All were well seasoned and more savory than the vegetable plates. The kale salad was very good with just enough sweetness to offset the kale's bite. We had the homemade gelato - the chocolate creme fraiche was excellent and more successful than the butter caramel vanilla.Special Features:

Welcome to Cowboy Candle Co. Established 1992. We started by carving ribbon & unity candles. After a few years in the business we came up with the idea of putting figurines on our candles making them very personalized for our customers. A very unique feature of the candle is, it burns down the center leaving the outside & the figurine as it was when it was purchased. Then if you want to burn it again you simply refill it with a tea light or small votive, depending on the size of the candle. This way your candle can be burned repeatedly & will last indefinitely. A set of burning instructions is included with each candle.
Please look through our different categories then decide which type of candle is suited to your needs or occasion. If you have any questions please call or send an email.
Open 7 days a week
Thank you for stopping by Cowboy Candle Co. We look forward to working with you on the candle of your choosing.

Lots of people would pay a fortune for the secret to complete joy. Its a good thing that in todays reading Jesus gives it away for free! From its very beginning Christianity has been about the proclamation of joy. Behold I bring you good news of great joy, announced the angels at Jesus birth. Joy is at the heart of Gods plan for human beings. Joy is at the heart of Jesus himself.

A week before the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, structural engineers met at a conference in Frankfurt, Germany, and wondered aloud about how to build taller skyscrapers.
Today, they will join architects and other building experts in Chicago for a far more sober discussion: Will such high-profile symbols of power and prestige be built any time soon -- and, if so, what can be done to make them safer and more secure?
Chicago is an appropriate choice for debating these issues, and not just because the city is home to Sears Tower, the nation's tallest building.
Even as others argue that supertall buildings will forevermore be prime terrorist targets, New York City developer Donald Trump is still planning a Chicago office-condominium tower that could rise as high as 1,300 feet -- only about 65 feet shorter than the destroyed trade center towers.
But no U.S. developer, not even one as successful as Trump, will be able to get financing for such a prominent skyscraper today, predicts Eugene Kohn, a partner in the New York City architectural firm of Kohn Pedersen Fox.
"There is an emotional reaction to the tall building," Kohn says, citing World Trade Center survivors who have told him they have no desire to work again in a high-rise.
Kohn will be among the experts prognosticating the future of the skyscraper Monday as the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat, an international group of architects, engineers and other building experts based at Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pa., holds an all-day session on the skyscraper's future.
To gauge the sentiments of the experts speaking at the meeting, to be held at O'Hare International Airport, the Tribune interviewed several of them beforehand. Some, like Kohn, say it could be a decade before another supertall tower is built in the U.S. Others, like Trump's architect, Adrian Smith of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, forecast that such a project could get under way in just two or three years.
Yet in light of the World Trade Center's stunning collapse, all the experts agreed, it would be wise to rethink the design and construction of skyscrapers, especially those that top 1,000 feet and are therefore considered supertall.
"Whenever a building falls down, there's a lesson to be learned," says William Baker, a structural engineer at Skidmore, Owings & Merrill and a member of an engineering team that is studying the New York City disaster.
Citing examples in Europe and Asia, the architects and engineers suggested everything from wider fire stairs that will enable people to get out of buildings more quickly to "refuge floors," heavily fireproofed floors where people can gather below a fire.
Skyscrapers might be equipped with special elevators for firefighters, they said, while underground parking garages at skyscrapers could be banned, eliminating a spot from which terrorists can strike. New structural techniques, such as heavyweight concrete cores, also might save lives.
The big question underlying all the proposals is whether a new set of assumptions -- and thus, a new set of building codes -- should govern the design of supertall skyscrapers.
Currently, codes assume emergency conditions requiring escape from a fire confined to one or two floors of a skyscraper. Now, should codes reflect the danger posed by the much larger fires and structural damage that results when a jetliner hits a building? Or was Sept. 11 a one-time event?
Everything depends, Smith says, "on whether you are planning for a terrorist attack. If you're planning for that, then there are a whole host of things you have to do."
Many of the experts said it would be foolish to place too much responsibility on building design and management, because the chief cause of the World Trade Center's collapse was the hijacking of two jetliners and the transformation of those planes into flying bombs.
"I think security has to start on the airplane," says Thomas Fridstein, director of design for the New York-based developer and building owner Tishman Speyer.
Above all, the experts are warning people against overreacting. Historically, they say, skyscrapers have been very safe places, with only a small number of deaths resulting from fires and structural collapses.
Moreover, they point out, the U.S. has only eight supertall buildings to worry about: Sears Tower, the John Hancock Center and the Aon Center (the former Amoco Building) in Chicago; the Empire State and Chrysler Buildings in New York; and one supertall tower each in Los Angeles, Houston and Atlanta. And some of these skyscrapers seem to be unlikely targets.
Experts' goal: To make buildings terror-proof

Take 5 with The Travelers
We've asked the filmmakers for the 11th annual Oxford Film Festival the same five questions. Meet Andres Gonzalez, videographer and creator of The Travelers. This film will be screening Saturday, Feb. 8 at 11:30 a.m. and Sunday, Feb. 9 at 2 p.m.
#1: In 140 characters or less, describe your movie and why someone should see it.
The Travelers is a meditative film about journeys. The short film takes place in Istanbul, Turkey at the mouth of the Bosphorus where it opens up to the Black Sea. It is a place of coming and going, ships sail off towards open sea.
#2: Biggest lesson learned in getting the film made? Best part in getting the film made?
Anything can have artistic value.
#3: Tell us about you. What is your movie making background?
Andres Gonzalez is a photographer and educator who splits his time between personal projects, assigned commissions, and the occasional teaching position. He currently lives and works out of Water Valley, Mississippi.
Andres has been nominated for a Baum Award for Emerging American Photographers, was selected as one of PDN's 30, and is a Fulbright Fellow. His photographs have been exhibited in Milan, New York, Istanbul, and London, and his first book, Some(W)Here was self-published in 2012.
#4 What do you want the Oxford Film Festival audience to know about your film that isn't obvious from its title or description?
The footage was taken while I was living in Istanbul, editing a book of photographs from around the world, and thinking a lot about journeys. There was a sea voyage that I was obsessed with for years, from Istanbul to Odessa, Ukraine across the Black Sea. When I finally went to investigate I found that the ship was no longer making the sail. So I went up to where the Bosphorus opens up to the Black Sea and watched the cargo ships and shot this video, imagining them arriving to port.
#5: What does the future hold in store for your film and for you?
I think it will live quietly. Perhaps I will include it in an exhibition as a video element.

Followed directions exactly. Made this for a birthday party. It was SO BAD I threw it away... I noticed nobody eating it, so I took a bite and quickly found out why. I typically have success w/most CL recipes but this was a dud. The breadcrumbs made it so dry the cake felt stuck in your throat. Beware...
Sour Cream Pound Cake

KristenBH Posted: 08/28/09
I think this cake is great. I have made it several times, and people love it. I have also made it as housewarming gifts and holiday gifts.
madriver Posted: 08/22/11
I've made this several times since the recipe was first published, and it's always enjoyed. But now my daughter has to eat gluten-free, so yesterday I made it using gluten-free flour, and just to be different, I substituted 'brownulated' sugar for the granulated. And of course - NO BREADCRUMBS! It still came out great, although maybe a little smaller due to the flour change. For a rare treat, this was a gluten-free cake that did NOT stick to the pan!

From the fine folks in Georgia Tech's sports information department, a transcript of Tuesday's press conference:
Opening Statement:
"Good morning. I think the week off last week came at the right time. I was encouraged by what I saw in practice yesterday. The guys were excited to be out there after a few days off. We're a day ahead of schedule getting ready for the game because we put a lot of work in yesterday. We're excited to have the opportunity to play at home on Saturday night against a Georgia team that is very talented."
On Georgia:
"I'm sure they're going to come in here and play one of their best games. I would expect nothing less. We're going to try and get ready to play one of our best [games]. They've got a lot to play for and so do we. It ought to be a good game."
On the Georgia Tech-Georgia Rivalry:
"I know the game's important, because it's important to our fan base and the school and everyone else. Honestly, I get ready for this game as I get ready for any other game. I think you have to do that. I told somebody earlier that this is not the end all do all for our football program to beat Georgia. We want to win our share of games against them and it's an in-state rivalry game and all. I understand that, but it's not going to define our year if we beat Georgia."
On if last season's 45-42 win over Georgia defined Georgia Tech's season:
"Well, last year we didn't win the [Coastal] division and we didn't have a chance to play for the ACC Championship. I don't know if it defined our season last year. I know it did to some of our fans. I think you're putting [Georgia] on a pretty high pedestal. Do you think beating Georgia Tech defines Georgia's season? I bet if you ask them, they'd probably tell you no. It's an important game and you don't want to diminish that, but let's not get carried away."
On if beating Georgia was the team's top goal a season ago:
"It was a goal. I don't think we have a number one goal. It was the first one on the board. What is the third one on the list this year, finish in the top five in rushing? It was a goal because Georgia Tech had not beaten Georgia in seven years."
On if beating Georgia a season ago gives Georgia Tech more confidence coming into this year's game:
"I have no idea. I think our guys will be excited to play. It's going to be a great crowd; it's a rivalry game and a big game, so they'll be really fired up. I don't know if they're going to have a celebration in the streets if we win Saturday night. We still have other fish to fry."
On last year's second half comeback against Georgia:
"It showed some character on our player's part that they fought back and continued to play, but so did Georgia. They came back, as well. You'd like to see this game be very competitive and I think it probably will be for the most part. I don't think one side is going to get to the point where they can just go away and hide from the other. I hope that's not the case, but if it is, gosh I hope it's us. But, I don't see that happening. Both teams have too many good players."
On how Georgia Tech's fan base treats the Georgia game:
"You're going to have fans that treat any game as a big game. Certainly, anytime you work with people everyday and you're around them in the state, it certainly makes your life easier if your team wins. You can be the guy cracking all the jokes and doing that kind of thing. Each fan has to have their individual idea of the game. I understand it's a big game. I'm not backing away from that, but what I'm trying to say is, it's not going to end our season if we win or lose the game. I'm not going to let one game define my football season when I have to play 13 games. Now, if I was 0-12, I might let that one game define me, but we have other things to play for. Does that lessen the fact that we want to win the game, no. We want to win the game as much as Georgia does."
On if the Georgia-Georgia Tech game has any effect on recruiting:
"It might have something to do with it. I think there are a lot of other factors involved. Do they want to see the programs comparable, sure. But, there's a lot of contrasts between Georgia and Georgia Tech, far more than who wins the game. The location, majors that are offered, prestige of certain programs, there's a lot of factors that go into it. Does that mean that Georgia is never going to beat Florida on a recruit because Florida won the game? A lot of these kids will still go to Georgia; there are a lot of other reasons that come into play."
On if it was surprising to see how important winning the Georgia game was to Georgia Tech fans:
"I know that they were excited that we won the game. It probably wasn't as big of a deal to me because I hadn't been here through the losing. If I had lost to someone seven years in a row, it probably would've been a bigger deal. I don't want to leave the wrong impression because I do realize that the game is important and I know for a lot of our fans that this is the game they want to win. We want to get to the point where our program is bigger than one game. That doesn't mean that we're going to dismiss that game and say `oh, we don't care if we win.' We want to win the game, but we want to do some other things that just beating Georgia won't do for you. You have to have some consistency.
"When you get into a rivalry game, it's like anything. Georgia has more to gain beating us then we do beating them. We're ranked, they're not. It's the complete opposite of last year and it will probably go back-and-forth. In an ideal situation, both teams would be really good. I think that Georgia is a really good team. Do not underestimate the talent they have because of their record. Mark [Rich] has built a really strong program in Athens. They've got good football players and a good team. They haven't had the type of year anybody expected or wanted, but that doesn't mean they don't have good football players and a good program. When you win so many games consistently like they've done, it's hard to meet those expectations every year. You build a monster and you have to feed it. They still have a good team."
On if the injury sustained to Georgia wide out A.J. Green will have an impact on preparation for Georgia's offense:
"They are going to run the same offense whether A.J. Green plays or not. They'll just put someone else in. A.J. Green might be the best receiver in the country, so not having him certainly will hurt them. But, it doesn't change the way we are preparing for them because they will still have a good player out there. I guarantee a four or five star recruit will be out there taking his place. It's not like they are going to cancel their offense if A.J. doesn't play. We're worried about Georgia Tech; we don't approach this game any differently than any other game. I don't know what Georgia's going to do; they might run the wishbone or throw it every down. We're getting ready for A.J. Green and everyone else on their roster."
On if it is surprising that Georgia is 6-5 on the season:
"Quite honestly, I haven't paid that much attention to them during the year, outside what everyone was saying about them on Sunday after the game. When you watch the tape, when they don't beat themselves, they're a very good football team. Put on the Kentucky game. They drag them up and down the field, but they killed themselves with four turnovers in the second half, just like any other team in America would. There are not many teams that could turn the ball over four times in a half and win the game. But, that doesn't take away from the talented players they have. It's just like anything else; maybe they don't turn it over this week. That's why you play the game because you never know what is going to happen."
On if there are any concerns that the Yellow Jackets will come out rusty after a bye week:
"We'll know on Saturday. We came out yesterday and looked pretty good, but that was against the scout team who probably isn't going to put up as good of a fight. We'll know on Saturday when we play. That's my concern for us, to play as good as we can play. If we can do that, then we'll be able to live with the result. Just go out there and do your thing. Have some confidence in what your doing and play."
On Georgia's defense:
"They're big and physical inside. I think they have some NFL-caliber defensive tackles. Their linebackers run well. They have some corners that are younger, but are very talented. They have some good players. We just have to line up and execute. That's why you play the games. Last year we had some success in that they missed some tackles and we hit some big plays. It wasn't like we were slowing them down; they went up and down the field pretty good too."
On concerns in kick coverage:
"It's a concern for us every game because we know that every team we play will have someone back there that can catch it and go. You just have to be sound and do your job and hope that you can make a tackle in the open field. You can't play scared because you're not going to be very successful. That's what we did last year; we went in there and played. When we got down early we didn't say, "Oh, here we go again". We just kept playing."
On Josh Nesbitt's role on the team:
"I think Josh has been a very valuable part of our football team, no question. He's been a leader and he kind of stirs the drink that makes it go on offense. He's been a really good player. He certainly is deserving of any kind of accolades that he gets. It's too bad that so much of that stuff is perception. But, he's been a valuable member of our team, there's no doubt about that."

CLEMSON – Dabo Swinney suggested he prayed hard for Clemson to reach next week's ACC championship game because of what it would mean to former coach Danny Ford, who will be honored there as the program's designated "legend" this year.
If it meant that much to Ford, imagine the significance should the 15th-ranked Tigers reach the Orange Bowl, site of the 1981 postseason triumph that secured the national championship and cemented Ford as a program icon.
On the flip side, imagine how this season's Atlantic Division title breakthrough could lose its luster if all Clemson has to show alongside it is a berth in the Music City Bowl

I read that Sam. Swank tried out for the Falcons. I had hoped that I'd heard the last of him on that rainy day in Jacksonville.
My guess is that a kicker won't win the ACC Champ MVP award this year.

Don't fool yourselves, fans, I've watched the last 55 games of this classic series, and season records, turnovers, etc., all go by the wayside with the Jackets meet the Dawgs. As the book says, Good Old Fashion Hate rises to the surface each game, and whoever is left standing at the end of the game will have earned and deserve the win. Even with a substitute UGA, the Ramblin' 'Reck rides tall burning Diesel, 42-28.
November 24th, 2009
6:36 pm
Coach Paul Johnson puts things in proper perspective. We go into each game expecting to win. UGA is no different from any other game on our schedule. However, unlike past coaches, we now go into this game with the attitude that we have more to accomplish than just beating the dawgs to have a good year. Our program is transcending to a point of playing more and more important football games under this coach. The days of old are long gone.
A story on Paul Johnson's record in rivalry games is now available for viewing on http://isportsweb.com. The Yellow Jackets are getting ready for their big game against Georgia on Saturday. THWG!

nice article on Rivals.com on CPJ,here's one question asked:
"What do you need facility-wise to stay competitive?
I was just talking to the athletic director [Dan Radakovich], and we are in the process of seeing about getting an indoor facility. I'm encouraged. I think we have a chance of that happening. We are at a place where the weather isn't that big of an issue, but it would be nice for lightning. And there are days when we get some heavy rains, so it would be nice to be able to have a place where we can go inside. "
wish we could use the money meant for new bb arena on this instead.

BlueFox – "Clean Old-Fashioned Hate" by Bill Cromartie. Didn't read the book, huh?

Georgia WILL be flinging the ball, plenty, Coach Johnson – you can bet on that! You don't know whether we can stop 'em, and neither does anybody else. The D must really step up in this game.
BUT, when we're on offense, how can those Dawgs even SEE the ball, when Nesbitt, at the line, is either running it up the middle himself, or handing it off to Dwyer, or pulling it back and going wide. When he goes wide, he'll either keep, or pitch. But the point is, when the play starts, those linebackers opposite can't see if the guy going into the line has the ball or not. And the Tech blocks look just the same on a dive or a pitch. I can't see Georgia having enough to stop this attack. They won't get the ball for a long time, either, unless we fumble.

CPJ talks like he is expecting to loose the game. I hope not but he knows damn well how big the interstate rivalry is in football. If not call Bill Curry he went 10-1 in 1989 but lost both the Auburn game and his job.after he took Bama to the Sugar Bowl.

Rumor flying is that "Georgia's only defensive game plan is to completely take Josh Nesbitt out of the game".
I hope that is not the mantra of the Dog defense, they are better than that! No fan or Alumni wants to see a dirty game played. And I am an alum of both schools!
November 25th, 2009

…"Even with a substitute UGA" – who are they substituing for the university? UGA is the school; Uga is the dog, for whom I think you meant that they may have a substitute!
But, in reality, maybe it is your senility that is showing if you have been to 55 of these games!

Coach definitely never loses any cool points, but he definitely would have scored some major points if he had said, "A.J. might be the second best receiver in the country."
Still. I love our coach, and he could do no wrong. It is amazing how after one game last season, he became one of our great coaches, and before his second season is over he is already one of our legendary coaches. I hope he builds a voracious monster here, too. Then this game will have _real_ importance, like the old games between UF/FSU, or OSU/UM, or USC/ND. It's our time, Georgians.

And Bill Curry was a quitter. He quit on Georgia Tech (Tech gave him the job even though he had no head coaching experience) to go to a program he could take "to the next level" got fired and Bobby Ross wins a national championship for Georgia Tech. I'm sure Bill regrets his decision but I wonder if he is ashamed of himself for quitting.

Good article and I really like Johnson's perspective on this game. It is big but it should not define Ga. Tech's season. This will be a tough game for Tech but I like our chances to win.
November 25th, 2009

get ready.

Johnson's philosophy is so sound. He's steady and BELIEVES in his system with every fibre of his being. Not too high, never too low. Steady.
No one ounce of Showboat in the man. He truly believes you win with preparation and confidence, NOT rah-rah emotion.
November 25th, 2009

Just watch to see if he smiles after winning the game!
He is hedging his bet in this interview. But he really wants to win.

It shouldn't be a night game this late in the season.
If it's bitter cold the players will have to try to
play while suffering from it. Weather is a big
equalizer. Someone should have the nerve to turn
down maximum TV money when the time chosen can hurt
the game.

Virginia Tech, who did they beat ? They lost to everyone. Virginia Tech have a win over a barely ranked Miami of Florida team. But, who did Miami of Florida beat to get ranked ? Miami of Florida has zero wins. Miami of Florida did beat Georgia Tech, and lost every other game, just like Virginia Tech. There is the Climpsum Tigers, right ? Who did Climpsum Tigers beat ? No one. Not a single soul have the Climpsum Tigers beat. No one. Climpsum has a win over Miami of Florida, that's it. Which brings us to :
Georgia Tech.
Georgia Tech beat the Climpsum Tigers, who lost every game except beat Miami of Florida. And, Georgia Tech beat Virginia Tech, who lost every game except beat Miami of Florida. 2 teams they say are teams Climpsum and Virginia Tech, but neither team beat anyone at all all season long except for 1 team Miami of Florida. And, who was it Miami of Florida beat ? No one, except Georgia Tech.
For this, the All Cupcake Conference teams are ranked. Not very impressive, which is why the ACC does not have a top-ranked team. The ACC is an automatic qualifier. You get to send 1 team to a meaningless Orange Bowl against a team who will have zero wins over any ranked team, and certainly will have zero wins over any top-ranked team, like the ACC Chumpion.
SEC has the top 2 BCS Ranked Teams. Number 1 and Number 2. The winner of The SEC Championship Game is Guaranteed of playing for the National Championship, unless Auburn beats Alabama and Alabama beats Florida. Or, unless 5-Loss worthless Florida State beats Florida and Florida then beats Alabama. Even in this scenario, the lead The SEC teams Florida and Alabama have at BCS Number 1 and BCS Number 2 is so large that they still will probably send the winner of that game, against Texas (if Texas beats Nebraska, who has beat no team in the BCS Top 39 teams.)
The Winner of The SEC Championship Game will play Texas. Texas won last night, so all they have to do to be in the National Championship Game is to beat Nebraska. Who has Nebraska beat ? Nebraska has 0 wins over any Top 25 team, and in fact, Nebraska's best win is over Number 40 Oklahoma, who everyone beat. By the way, the only game against a Top 25 Ranked team all season long for Texas is Number 12 Oklahoma State, whom they beat. A lot better win than any win any ACC team posted all season long. Texas did not otherwise, even play a Top 25 team all season long in the down Big XII.
ACC Chumpionship Game winner ? Where are they in the discussion ? They are not in the discussion, that is where the ACC Chumpion is in this discussion.
Boise State.
TCU, Cincinnati and Boise State are all ranked ahead of the ACC Automatic Qualifier, for all these reasons.
Now, you know.
TCU beat Number 19 Climpsum Farmers at Climpsum. TCU beat Utah in a blow-out, and Utah is Number 21. TCU beat BYU in a blow-out and BYU is Number 19. Why is the Mountain West Champion ranked ahead of the ACC Chumpion ? Duh. They beat better teams, are undefeated, and beat more better ranked teams than any ACC team.
Cincinnati beat Number 16 Oregon State at Oregon State. Why is the Big East Champion ranked ahead of the ACC Chumpion ? Because they have a better win against a better team than any ACC team beat all season long, and because they are undefeated until they play Pittsburgh.
Why is Boise State ranked ahead of the ACC Chumpion ? Because Boise State beat Number 8 Oregon. This is a better win too than any ACC team has all season long. Why is the WAC Champion ranked ahead of the ACC Chumpion ? Because the WAC Champion beat a better team than any ACC team beat, and because they too are undefeated.
Thus, you have it.
1.SEC Champion is ranked way ahead of ACC Chumpion.
2.SEC runner-up is ranked way ahead of ACC Chumpion.
3.Big XII Champion is ranked way ahead of ACC Chumpion.
4.Mountain West Champion is ranked way ahead of ACC Chumpion.
5.Big East Champion is ranked way ahead of ACC Chumpion.
6.WAC Champion is ranked ahead of ACC Chumpion.
Why are 6 teams ranked ahead of the ACC Chumpion to get to play a real opponent in their bowl game ?
Because the ACC and Georgia Tech, suck.
You beat no one. You played no one. You are not considered among the elite, not the conference and not Georgia Tech.
41.Number 41 Strength of Schedule for Georgia Tech. Your Strength of Schedule actually is WORSE for playing the Climpsum Farmers than if you did not play the game at all. If Climpsum Farmers had not beat Miami of Florida (whose only win all season long over is Georgia Tech), Climpsum would have beat no one. Climpsum's Strength of Schedule is Number 39. For this average Number 40 SoS, these 2 square off in the ACC Chumpionship Game, and you want to know why the game will have no one there, no one watching and fewer yet who care.
There is not a conference who has in their Conference Championship Game 2 teams whose average ranking in the Strength of Schedules, is Number 40.
How can you be the ACC Chumpion and have all these other teams ranked ahead of you ?
Now, you know. Right ?
I know, right ?
Average BCS Ranking of all 12 SEC teams, is Number 37.
Average BCS Ranking of all 12 ACC teams, is Number 47.
The ACC is an after thought. The ACC has no top-ranked team, and never does.
What BCS Automatic Qualifying Conference Lost to one 1-AA team ?
There is only 1 BCS Automatic Qualifying Conference who Lost 1 game to one 1-AA team. The ACC.
As a matter of fact, the ACC Lost to two (2) 1-AA teams.
No other BCS Conference Lost to ANY 1-AA team. But, the ACC Lost to not 1, but two (2) 1-AA teams.
SEC has the best winning percentage against all BCS Conferences this year, too. The ACC does not even have a winning record against the other BCS Conferences, while The SEC is 3 games over .500 against other BCS Conferences, for the best in the nation.
28-6.The SEC is 28-6 against 1-A teams this year, also the best record against other 1-A teams of all Conferences in the nation. The ACC is a miserable 17-13 against 1-A teams, compared to SEC at 28-6.
You come running in here, trying to say that Georgia Tech's entire season of "opponents" is not bad this year, in fact is not 51-53. 51 wins and 53 losses by every team Georgia Tech plays all season long. None of your "opponents" have beat anyone. There is not 1 win by Georgia Tech nor by any of Georgia Tech's "opponents" all season long this year, which is over a top-ranked team.
Why should the ACC Chumpion get a real Bowl Game top-ranked opponent ? You should not, obviously. And, you will not.
All Cupcake Conference.
Losing Bowl Record. ACC has a Losing Bowl Record All-Time at 83-84-2.
ACC is .497 for its Winning Percentage in Bowl Games All-Time.
ACC are a bunch of itty-bitty teeny-weenie schools, who play no one all season long, and beat no top-ranked team.
ACC has zero attendance, as always.
ACC has zero top-ranked teams, as always.
ACC Chumpionship Game got kicked out of the Gator Bowl for lousy ratings and zero attendance.
ACC now is in Tampa and you will not have good attendance and will not have good ratings for that meaningless game between 2 teams, neither of whom beat a soul.
190-49-9. SEC is the best Conference in Bowl Games, All-Time by a large margin.
SEC is .559 Winning Percentage All-Time in Bowl Games. This too, is the best among all BCS Conferences.
ACC is an afterthought.
ACC does nothing.
ACC plays no one.
ACC beats no one.
ACC loses to nobodies.
ACC plays in meaningless weenie games and weenie bowl games.
ACC plays in meaningless weenie Conference Chumpionship with no one watching, no one caring and with no one there.
Tampa ? Is there an ACC team in Tampa I have forgotten somehow ? Your ACC Conference Chumpionship Game is a nomad game, that cannot find a place where anyone will go to watch the damned game.
Georgia Tech is the worst traveling team in all of America. No one has fewer people who follow their team, and go to away games and to meaningless Chumpionship Games, and to meaningless bowl games, than Georgia Tech.
A few years back, you blew up half your stinking stadium.
You still cannot sell your "stadium" out. Do you know your record against Georgia at Grant Field ? 20-26-3. Georgia is half a dozen games ahead of Georgia Tech at your own stinking little dumpy field down there in the slums of Atlanta where all the drugs are and where all the crime is.
Which is probably why no one goes to the games.
You sell season tickets. Georgia buys them. We throw away the other cruddy games against nobodies you play, just to buy seats at your stadium and you talk about selling this many or that many season tickets. No. You do not. We buy them, not you.
4 hot dogs, 2 cokes, 2 bags of peanuts, and a parking pass. All of this you offer just to sell a ticket to watch the Georgia Tech YELLOW jackets.
And, you call your 1930 vehicle the Ramblin' Wreck when everyone knows that is for the CHEATERS on the 1893 team, none of whom were students at Georgia Tech. Yesterday, the AJ-C ran an article about this 1893 game and how you were stoned by the UGA fans after the game, playing players who in fact you PAID TO PLAY who all 3 top players were not in fact Georgia Tech students. You huddled into a train for the ride back to Atlanta from Athens the Classic City, and ran into the back of a freight train in Lawrenceville. When the train got back to Atlanta in 1893, the headlines read : "RAMBLING WRECK MAKES IT BACK TO ATLANTA." Now, supposedly, it is a CAR, not a train that is the Ramblin' Wreck. You are so full of B.S.
Still, no one wants to even watch you play teams who all season long for all of Georgia Tech's games all season long, are a sorry 51-53.
25-31-4. Georgia Tech's Record in Atlanta against Georgia
So, to the Georgia Tech fans (both of you), I say nerds you haven't done a damn thing. Not once has the Final AP Poll ranked Georgia Tech Number 1. Not once.
22-15-5Georgia Tech's Bowl Record. .595 Winning Percentage.
25-16-3Georgia's Bowl Record. .605 Winning Percentage.
Georgia Tech's Bowl Record is NOT as good as Georgia's.
Georgia Tech has LOST its last 4 Bowl Games in a Row.
4 Bowl Losses in a Row for Georgia Tech.
Georgia has Won 6 of our last 7 Bowl Games. They say Georgia will play on January 2nd this season in our Bowl Game. Our opponent plays a game against the team who beat you Georgia Tech, before they play us.
The ACC will only have 1 BCS Bowl Game team, and that only because the BCS Automatically Qualifies the winner of the ACC Chumpionship Game.
Only 5 Schools have more attendance per game than UGA.
Georgia Tech is Number 40 in attendance.
So, Georgia Tech is Number 41 in Strength of Schedule according to the NCAA and Number 40 in Attendance according to the NCAA. Do you notice the correlation please ?
UGA is playing for our 60th win against Georgia Tech, All-Time. Only 4 other schools ever have lost more football games against any 1 opponent, than Georgia Tech has Lost to UGA.
And, so here we are tomorrow night, after a long and grueling horrid schedule of tough opponents for Georgia, a Top 5 Strength of Schedule, playing against Georgia Tech, whose season has gone completely unnoticed by everyone because you haven't played anyone. Tech's season has therefore, breezed by.
Nerds. Nerds in the slums of Atlanta where all the drugs are and where all the crime is. Nerd guys, with no women, that is what Tech is. Asian men make up a huge portion of Tech's student body. Your athletes are nothing like your regular students, who are not there on athletic scholarship. Nothing at all like the regular Tech student.
Georgia Tech's Men's Basketball Team is on NCAA Probation for its APR Academic Progress Rate and is therefore LIMITED TO ONLY 11 SCHOLARSHIPS at this time today. Georgia Tech Men's Basketball APR Academic Progress Rate of only .914 in the 20th Percentile.
There are 25,467 UGA undergraduates and only 12,973 undergraduates at Georgia Tech, half as many at Tech as at UGA.
U.S. News and World Report Rankings for 2010 are Georgia Tech Number 35 and UGA Number 58, released last month as the National Universities' Rankings for 2010. 55 percent of all those who Apply for Admission at UGA, are accepted. 61 percent of all those who apply to Georgia Tech, are accepted. Tech will take anyone. It is not exclusive any longer at Tech. UGA is more selective than Georgia Tech now. Georgia Tech is 56 percent of UGA enrollment at 19,143 students at Tech to 34,180 at UGA. Still, you are far more likely to get accepted into Georgia Tech if you apply there than you would be to apply to UGA, 6 percent more likely to be accepted into Georgia Tech than to be accepted into UGA.
2009 APR Academic Progress Rate for your FOOTBALL PLAYERS, shows UGA APR is .976 in the 90th Percentile for UGA FOOTBALL PLAYERS and shows Georgia Tech APR for your FOOTBALL PLAYERS is .957 in the 70th Percentile. May 1 2009 according to the NCAA.
Georgia Tech football players are A LOT WORSE ACADEMICALLY than the UGA football players.

BULLDAWG: I feel so sorry for you. I feel even sorrier for your team and coaching staff. The sight of tens of thousands of Bulldog fans streaming for the exits WHEN YOUR TEAM STILL HAD A CHANCE TO WIN THE GAME was truly pathetic.
Nevertheless, I hope that the Jackets beat the hell out of the Bulldogs. However, I'll be happy if we win by 1.

I have been holding back all year because our defense and offense has played so poorly and I have refrained from making comments about our DC and OC, even though they need to go. But for us to have such an aweful season and Tech to be the class of the ACC, we sure just whipped your butts! The score was close but statistically, we drove the ball down your throats!!
I have just one question…where are Saint Simmons, RAMBLE ON, jacketfan, etc. now? You know the ones who have been on the UGA blogs all year talking crap!!!!
The worst year of Mark Richt's tenure and the best year Tech has had since 1990 and we still beat the No.7 team in the country!!
And what about No.8's big choke??? He's no AJ Green for sure!!!!!
30-24 Hahahahahaha!!!!!

Well all you techies take note you had two weeks to prepare your were rated No.7 in the country and still could not beat a mediocre dawg team. Tech is the has beens and will always remain at there north avenue institute of dumbness. Go dawgs!

I do like holy paladins. Only sort of paladin in Live I like. I'm just tossing out a variant on the mana idea that could be kinda fun (reducing long cooldowns is a nifty mechanic they've been adding in a lot these days, and a radically reformulated Illumination could fit the bill, like Shadow Priests and the new Shadow Fiend cooldown mechanics), and not implying I want bad things to happen for Holy Paladins. Sorry if you read it that way, but I don't think I was radically unclear.

Walk the Land: Jesus Before Caiaphas and Pontius Pilate
- Tuesday, February 22, 2005
Mount Zion majestically rises like a ship's prow over the valleys of Gehenna and Central, but even the Kidron Valley and Mount of Olives are visible from its height. Also visible, like a livid scar running along a crease in Gehenna is Potter's Field.
In Old Testament times, Gehenna was the site of infant sacrifice. In Jesus' day, it was a garbage dump. In First Century Jerusalem, 30 pieces of silver was not much, but along with the temporary allegiance of a disciple, it would buy a slave or a slimy low spot in Gehenna where pottery clay could be dug and the corpses of paupers buried. With one nightmare after another occurring on its soil, Gehenna in Hebrew lent its name to hell in the English. Even in crowded modern Jerusalem, the Potter's Field remains an ancient cemetery.
We hear a rooster crow. We are reminded that in addition to being the location of the Last Supper, traditionally, Mount Zion was also the home of the high priest Caiaphas.
At the time of Christ, tradition says that Caiaphas' palace was within the walls of the city and stood between the temple and the spot where Judas hanged himself. It these are the actual locations, one cannot help but wonder what Judas saw as he passed by Caiaphas' house and looked down into the campfire lit courtyard on that awful night.
Inside the house, the Sanhedrin and chief priests vented their jealous rage on Jesus. Caiaphas had determined that "one Man should die for the people," but what would be His crime? Throughout the night of Jesus' arrest, they argued fine points of the Law looking for evidence of criminality. In the end, they came up empty. Their witnesses contradicted one another. And most maddening of all, the Accused would not speak to them.
Finally, Caiaphas asked a question that Jesus would answer: "Are you the Christ?"
"I am," said Jesus.
They fell upon Him, slugging Him with their fists until their energy was spent. Then the guards took their turn.
Little remains of Caiaphas' palace, but the dungeons beneath it are terrible in their completeness and the grisly story they tell. Roughly hewn out of bedrock and separated by arches and pillars, there are holes chiseled through the arched tops so the prisoners' hands could be manacled above their heads while being beaten. At the time of Christ, it is said that there was only one entrance to the prison complex: through a portal in the floor. Even today, with electric lights and ventilation, the walls are cold and dank. One can only imagine the dark horror of the hours Jesus spent in the cells beneath Caiaphas' house.
The Scriptures tell us that early the next morning, Jesus was taken to Pontius Pilate. Where exactly that was, Bible passages aren't specific; tradition and common sense part company. Tradition says that Pilate was staying at the Antonia Fortress, but Dr. Paul Wright, president of Jerusalem University College, on Mount Zion, thinks it was more like that when Jesus was first taken to Pilate, it was at Herod's palatial mansion, just north of Mount Zion.
Said Dr. Wright: "Just south of Jaffa Gate, where the David's Tower Museum and Israeli Police Station are located today, we have archeological evidence that Herod ('the Great') built an absolutely huge palace that covers the western side of the Armenian Quarter. We do know that he built a bridge so he could go from his palace to the just north of where the Western (Wailing) Wall is today without going down into the city. By the time of Jesus' crucifixion, Israel was under direct Roman rule. Pilate is a mid-level Roman bureaucrat, cycling from one province to another. Personality-wise, he was everything that falls under the dictionary definition of despot. When he comes to Jerusalem (with his wife who had a nightmare about Jesus) - and that's not very often - it can be argued that he doesn't stay with the garrison, he stays at the great palace. When the chief priest wake him up very early to see a man he's never heard of, he takes a look out the window and does whatever he has to do to get rid of Him."

Sagem's Porsche Design P'9522 just passed through the FCC. I usually don't report on FCC approvals, but since there hasn't been much news about this cell phone I figured why not. The all black aluminum phone is quad band (850/900/1800/1900Mhz), includes WiFi, a 2.8-inch OLED screen, 5MP camera, microSD card slot, GPS and a fingerprint reader. Sorry no 3G.
Apparently, the P'9552 will cost over $600
