EIFF films make an impression at Raindance Film Festival, with a number of features picking up awards.
Raindance Film Festival, "The Voice of Indie Film", is touted as
a festival founded by filmmakers, for filmmakers. Now in its 18th year, Raindance 2010 took place between between 29 September and 10 October in London.
The Raindance Jury, which includes metal-head Lemmy, British producer Alison Owen, and Mighty Boosh comedian Julian Barrat, announced the winners last Sunday, 10 October. Son of Babylon, which had its Rosebud UK premiere here at Edinburgh International Film Festival clinched Best International Feature. Meanwhile, EIFF picks Huge and Jackboots on Whitehall were nominated for Best UK Feature, but were beaten out by BBC-produced Ipswitch drama Five Daughters.
If you'd like to get involved with Raindance in London, a number of courses are taking place in the coming weeks, including How to Make a Short Film on 30-31 October and 5-week Foundation Certificates in Producing and Documentary beginning in mid-November.
To see more from Raindance, check out trailers, screenings, online screenings, interviews, and more at Raindance.tv.

Hypertension and Salt
I have high blood pressure and have been taking medication for about 10 years. Some of the meds have side effects so I am trying to get it down with weight loss and exercise.
The doctor always said that salt might be a factor but I thought I didn't eat a lot of salt. I cook from scratch and don't add a lot of salt to my cooking, but I was eating salty snacks i.e., peanut butter crackers and popcorn.
I finally cut back the salt drastically, lost about 5 lbs and exercise on a regular basis. Low and behold, my BP was 112/62 today at my dr appt. Yay! So I don't know if it was reducing salt consumption, losing the weight or exercising, but something kicked in and the BP is now in the normal range. I would love to be able to reduce the meds, too. Maybe that's in the future.
I get my cholesterol checked at my next appt in 3 months. I hope that's within normal range, too. The weight loss and exercise should reduce that.
You got that right! And what kind of surprised me was the fact that the doctor sort of ignored the fact that I had lost weight and was exercising. Doctors are so programmed to prescribe medication instead of alternate ways of reducing BP and weight. (Yes, I know that a lot of patients don't follow those suggestions, but it doesn't hurt to try.)

We had a great five day stay during a conference in Leuven; this was our first ever Airbnb rental and the experience was positive. We can't add more than previous reviewers: having a full kitchen, living room, bedroom makes a longer visit much more pleasant than a hotel. Having a washing machine as well as pretty much anything else you might need (including a computer printer) is an added bonus. Apartment is on seventh floor (looking west) so we typically had a breeze during a heat wave, and there is a balcony. No noise from other apartments. This was the only high speed Internet we had in more than two weeks in Europe, and there's lots of English language programming on cable! As noted previously, there are frequent buses going downtown from the university just to SW, and two food stores close by. We would certainly recommend to others.
Carina's apartment comes with its own parking space, which we appreciated. We liked the balcony and the views. There's a good wifi signal throughout the apartment, and lots of storage space. Guido, the concierge, was easy to deal with. The kitchen is very small; cooking meals is a bit of a challenge!
My girlfriend and I stayed here for 9 days, during which I had to present at a conference in Leuven, Belgium (Heverlee's neighboring city). Carina was a gracious host. She responded to every question I had, and even created a helpful document for 'checking-in' and 'checking-out'. The apartment was lovely! It was located in walkable distance to Heverlee's train station, making travel quick and easy. Given its proximity to Leuven, we could trust that it was also in a very safe location, as well. This is a great place to stay, hands down!
I stayed at Carina's apartment for four months while I was studying in Leuven during the summer. The apartment was absolutely perfect for my stay - it included all the amenities I could have wanted to make getting settled easy (linens, cookware, insuite laundry) and make it feel like home. Some of my favorite features of the apartment were the extremely comfortable bed, the deep bathtub (I did a fair bit of cycling while I was there, and a nice bath in the evening was a great way to relax), having a printer (very convenient for printing out train tickets) and the beautiful views over Heverlee in the evenings.
Carina was extremely helpful, easy to communicate with and was always responsive to my inquiries. Check in was simple (the concierge met me out front of the building), as was check out. She provided brochures and information about Leuven and other Belgian cities, which was very helpful. I also had a monthly cleaning service included, and that always went very smoothly and was appreciated.
Heverlee itself was a great place to stay. I rented a bike at the main train station, and so getting to the city centre only took about 10 minutes - I would highly recommend this for longer stays (you can also go by bus or walk to the centre, which takes around 20-30 minutes). There is a market close to the Heverlee station (about 5 minutes walking from the apartment) on Sunday mornings. The apartment is also walking distance from groceries stores (10 minutes), bakeries (5 minutes) and restaurants (5 minutes - I really liked Via Via). If you like walking, you can easily get to Castle Arenberg and explore the Heverleebos (a forest with many trails for running, walking or cycling).
Overall, I had a great experience staying in this apartment and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Leuven for a short or long stay - it really does become a home away from home. Thanks Carina for a great stay!
Lovely apartment and very comfortable and home like. Very clean and met all my needs, deffenaitley stay there again, even thought didn't meet carina she was very helpful on the phone and also the concierge was very helpfull with any information
I had a great stay at this 2 room apartment. The concierge was kind and helpful, and everything went smoothly.
All the needed amenities are there, and (as it's not mentioned in the description, only in the pictures) the bathroom also has a bath tub. Very nice! Wireless internet was flawless and high speed.
This is a great little apartment. It is on the 7th floor providing nice views over the surrounding area. It is comfortable and well-heated in Winter. The bedroom and lounge have easily enough space for 2 people but the kitchen is very small. It's well-stocked with all the usual household items (linen, cutlery, crockery, toilet paper, etc.). The check-in and check-out procedures are easy and went smoothly.
It is a little out of the city with a small deli shop about 2 minutes walk away, a large supermaket about 15 minutes walk, and the city centre around 30 minutes walk (though there are also lots of buses). There are plenty of restaurants and other shops nearby.
There are a couple of TV stations that are in English, the cinema shows movies in English, and most people around town speak English well.
This host has 25 reviews for other properties.View Other Reviews

BloodCenter of Wisconsin is extending hours today through Wednesday at eight southeastern Wisconsin donor locations to offset an emergency-level shortage of all blood types.

Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
23 Feb 2010 09:27 GMT
Toyoda's article comes two days before he is due to give testimony before a US congressional hearing into his company's handling of the recall and its response to safety concerns.
Al Jazeera's John Terret reports on Toyota's mounting problems
Depending on the evidence the grand jury probe reveals, the case could lead to eventual criminal charges being brought against Toyota.
Toyota's US headquarters said on Monday that it would co-operate fully with the inquiry but gave no further details.
As well as two congressional investigations, Toyota is facing a host of US class-action lawsuits potentially costing billions of dollars that link defects in its vehicles to more than 30 deaths.
'Back to basics'
Writing in Tuesday's Wall Street Journal a contrite Toyoda said: "I recognise that we must do better - much better - in responding to safety issues."
"It is clear to me that in recent years we didn't listen as carefully as we should - or respond as quickly as we must - to our customers' concerns"
Akio Toyoda,Toyota president
Toyoda, who is the grandson of the carmaker's founder, said he would take the company "back to basics", pledging that "Toyota will set a new standard for transparency and speed of response on safety issues".
He is due to begin testimony before the congressional inquiry on Wednesday
Critics, including some members of the US congress, have attacked Toyota's response to complaints of sudden, unintended acceleration, accusing it of trying to cover up defects, which also extend to the brake systems of its flagship Prius hybrid cars.
'Evidence hidden'
News of the US grand jury investigation came hours after the release of a document apparently showing Toyota knew of accelerator safety problems in its vehicles as early as 2007.
The internal memo appears to show Toyota executives gloating over their success in limiting a 2007 recall on some cars where the driver's foot mat interfered with the accelerator.
The memo is among thousands that a congressional committee has requested in a subpoena of Dimitrios Biller, who worked as a US lawyer for Toyota from 2003 to 2007.
Biller, who is now in a legal dispute with Toyota, said the internal company documents show the firm was hiding evidence of safety defects from consumers and regulators.

Rated 3.9 out of 5 by 280 reviewers.
Rated 1 out of 5 by AmbassadorMember123 Very unreliable--find somewhere else to stay... Multiple lights out in room, internet disconnected, water not replenished, four different answers (really) on when/where breakfast would be available, first customer in newly opened restaurant--food not prepared as ordered and had to leave without breakfast, laundry not done properly, long discussion with night manager on all issues--promised to fix laundry issue yet handed it off to a staff member who could not handle and did not bother to follow up. Never again October 30, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by harry2891 This hotel has great atmosphere & luxury. The valet parking was very impressive. You start your check in with a smiling face and great attitude. You are escorted to the check in desk and are greeted with a positive attitude and a very professional staffer. You and your luggage are escorted to your room by a very attentive bellman who over heard my desire to go to a certain location. Without mention he returned to my room with "googled" instructions to reach that destination. I give your hotel A++++++++. May 25, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by LF24 Awesome I had a great time while staying at the W. The staff, facilities, location and room were outstanding. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and nightlife at the W. Nikki and Carlos were fun to talk to and were very helpful November 10, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by AustinSPGmember2000 W Dallas not the same as it use to be Very disappointed in my last visit to the W Dallas . I booked room on my SPG site on my smartphone- so my Platinum status and SPG number should have been clearly visible. When I arrived, I had not been upgraded or recognized as a Platinum member. When that got cleared, we were upgraded to what I would considered a standard room on the 15th floor. I was told that I would have to pay extra for a corner upgrade although I never have had to pay for an upgrade in my 14 years as an SPG member. When we got to the room, we noticed a used towel hanging on the back of the bathroom door. it just seems the level of service at the hotel has gone down and the attention to detail is not there. The restaurant has changed for the better and food was good. Wheels valet was good as well and they always opened the door for my girlfriend and I. January 28, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by traveler Good Overall Impression but! Since my room was not ready upon arrival, I went to the spa. The staff was wonderful however the tolet area did not have tissue holders so the roll sat on the floor, the upholstery was very dirty and in need of cleaning. The experience of the services although outstandig were dimished by the conditions. The room I stayed in had a spectacular view but was very dark, lighting was ineffective and the door did not lock unless you really pulled it upon exit. February 4, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Brous Visiting Perot Museum I stayed here with my husband and 3 year old daughter. The staff was amazing. The food was good and has choices for children (i.e. PB&J and chocolate chip cookies). We enjoyed the room service and dining locations. The hotel was within walking distance to the museum and the area is very nice, clean, and safe. The only area of concern, was the pool area. My daughter does like to swim and we do like to sit pool side in the evenings, the hotel is geared for more of a night life crowd and the pool area allows smoking, which was prevalent when we attempted to visit the pool area in the afternoon. We did not stay with our daughter. We did, however, find comfortable seating outside the hotel at the street level for us to enjoy our late afternoon outside. Worth a visit. The W is very comfortable and easy going. We enjoyed our stay and will return. June 22, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Thomasmat Redone W is marginally better The W Dallas Victory has had a ton of changes - the rooms were refinished (which was nice), the food was good (although I miss the beat salad and the chicken), but I missed the faces I have known the past few years. They really took extra nice care of me. I also missed Joe and the other Accura drivers - sad to see them go. Lastly, was disappointed with the showers - the curtain wasn't designed correctly so the shower soaked the bathroom floor. November 14, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Wimbles59 Attention to details!! I loved our stay at The W in Dallas. We had adjoining rooms and were spoiled by staff from the minute we arrived. The "whatever whenever" option was a nice touch. We got a ride to dinner courtesy of Acura. Awesome! And breakfast at Cooks Hall was yummy! Polite staff and helpful valet and concierge. Breakfast coffee delivered to room was hot and strong!! Will definitely recommend and hope to repeat this stay with my mom and sisters every year! February 7, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by stevena A little more attention to detail Couple of items: 1. As a lifetime platinum it's nice to get an upgrade. And when i see on the SPG mobile app before i get to the hotel that i've been upgraded it's puts a smile on my face. However, when i got to the hotel and found out i had been moved from the suite, that was disappointing. And the staff doesn't have any idea about the app and it shows the upgrade. 2. I checked out at noon and my breakfast (delivered at 7:30am) had still not been posted. Plus, and i didn't say anything, there's a difference in price between ordering on the door menu vs. calling for room service. Not reflected on the bill. 3. When i arrived i told the valet i was just checking in, dropping my luggage off, and would come down to get my car...Please don't park it. When i got down it had been parked and the valet i spoke with just laughed. Plus, on departure i had an extra car charge on my invoice. The hotel is nice but the staff needs more training and attention to detail. October 12, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Nickpka Hotel Room not Clean I stayed at this hotel and my room was moderately clean when I arrived. Their appeared to be reddish stains on the sealing above one bed. Not sure what it was but almost resembled blood. Needless to say I slept in the other bed. My room was never completely cleaned by housekeeping during my stay, but they did give me more towels when I asked. It appeared like the room was only partially cleaned at times. In the mornings my shower water pressure was very weak and was typically luke warm if not cold. I was also billed for a mini bar item which I did not partake in ( a coke was charged and I can't drink caffeine). When contacted they said that they would refund me, but could not change my receipt. This makes creating an expense report more trouble. Overall, the staff was friendly but my stay was not something that left me wanting to leave rave reviews. January 17, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by nahum1991 amazing stay!!! Everyone was so nice. I'd like to thank renae at the front desk for being so kind and patient. She has great communication skills. Very friendly! Love her!!! Robert the valet was so helpful and very welcoming! Nathan from cook hall provided my friends and I with the best service! Great waiter! Overall I had a lot of fun!! I loved everything about my weekend. It made my birthday much more special. Will be staying here again!!!! August 30, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by York3 Great Place to feel trendy Loved the hotel, pool, food and location. I brought my 3 girls age 10-12 and 14. (Going on 12-14 and 16). We had a great view of Downtown Dallas and one of the most comfortable beds I've ever slept in. The pool view was amazing with music and great service. Security was top notch in this hotel so I felt comfortable with kids going down to breakfast alone. The staff from the valet to the waiters were very nice and considerate. July 16, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Trevor1 It's hip Staff treated us well: business trip with wife & 6 m.o. along for the ride. Of course it's a W--there's going to be club music & colorful lights in the lobby, along with a rainforest shower and goofy pillows in the room. But that's the point isn't it --to inject a little fun into the stay ? Restaurant--Cook Hall--was a solid choice for dinner, drinks, and breakfast. Get outside the boxy chain hotels, you deserve it!

Rated 5 out of 5 by AudiRS7 Free WIFI For a high end Hotel , i think it comes off as a little cheap to charge a daily rate for WIFI. In todays world most business travlers will need WIFI hook up...even Starbuks gives me feree WIFI for a $2.00 cup of coffee. You might just think about offering this as a free perk to your valued guests. I work gfor an Audi delaership and we offer free wifi to all of our customers whether they come for sales or service.

Rated 4 out of 5 by NormA Check-in was only negative Everything about this hotel met our needs and exceeded our expectations - room size, amenities, proximity to AA center, valet, and room service - except for our check-in experience. We arrived about an hour after the check-in time of 3pm and had to wait an additional hour and a half for a room. We were the only people waiting on a room that we could tell. We were offered one complimentary drink each in the bar where we waited with our luggage. Our "rooms were changed" and once we got to the new room, we found housekeeping was still inside and had to wait in the hall until they were finished. Once inside, housekeeping attempted to enter the room twice more to clean. It was annoying enough for us to not want to come back. If not for that inconvenience, it would've been fine. Just don't think paying for the room 4 months in advance will mean it's ready when you get there. August 1, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by DavidAL Excellent Anniversary stay My wife and I recently celebrated our anniversary at this location, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure everything for us was excellent! Frank at the Whatever/Whenever desk worked with me beforehand to make our stay extra special, and excelled in that! Everything from the room, to the staff, to the pool was superb. We look forward to staying again here next time in Dallas. August 25, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by JSB522 Great Hotel I am normally not a fan of W hotels, but this was different. I selected it because of the Cash & Points option and its location. I was surprised when I checked in. My platinum status was recognized more than at other Starwood properties, and all of the staff was incredibly helpful and welcoming (again, much more than at most properties). I am still not sold on W hotels, but this one was great. July 31, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by DallasWHater Horrible, Indifferent Service horrible service; had to wait two hours for my room at check-in (arrive at check-in time), with no logical explanation provided for delay, other than that it can take up to an hour and half for a cleaning crew to clean a single room. Two out of three mornings I had no hot water in the shower or sink - despite notifying engineering. Shower has no door, so bathroom floods with water after every (cold) shower - had to use every towel provided to mop up the water. Two of my four room service meals had issues - one, they forgot to include milk for my granola, another they provided me with a visibly dirty spoon for my cereal which I noticed as soon as I touched it. Staff was consistently unapologetic and indifferent. Location very difficult to access, with tremendous traffic. Had to wait forever to be tended to in the restaurant, despite being the only guests in the entire place. January 27, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by FratBoy Victory at victory park I absolutely love the W hotel. The location is superb as it is right near great restaurants and, of course, across from the American Airlines Center. Ask the staff, they are very helpful and can direct you were to walk! The rooms are also very nice; however, my other favorite amenities are the extra large workout facility on 17 and the awesome food at Craft. Truly, you can't go wrong staying at the W in Dallas. March 9, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Mcicchetti nice hotel, issues with room very nice hotel, my third or forth time here. however, as a 75 night platinum guest was disappointed to get a rom on 7th floor. I was told..lucky to have a king bed. and completely sold out. Every other SPG hotel would of reserved a room on high floor...being sold out should not impact the quality of my stay. Front desk would not do anything...while a minor issue...its annoying. August 14, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by SPGCheerleader Southern Hospitality I came for my birthday weekend and we were treated very well from start to finish. The driver service is a nice touch (considering the W discontinued the Acura Services). The manager, Will, who was helping me coordinate my weekend from start to finish was exceptional. The pool staff was also more helpful then others. I will be back again. September 16, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Mustang08 Staff consideration After the slight disappointment of not being able to get a meal in the hotel's restaurants and the initial "slow "delivery of in room dining, it was most refreshing to have contact with Angeline who expedited our order, resulting in the pleasure of eating before we left for a local event.this example of hospitality has assued us that a return to your establishment is a definite probability. Thank you June 6, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by xtineh Great weekend getaway We stayed at the W last weekend with our children. Service was excellent with hotel staff. The hotel is beautiful, and in a prime location for visiting Dallas. The room was beautifully appointed, and very comfortable for our family. We had a slightly disappointing experience at the restaurant for breakfast one of the days, but this was quickly and professionally addressed by the restaurant manager. February 18, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by NHouston Home away from Home We stayed three consecutive weekends in row since my son was attending a camp in Sherman Texas. Loved this place as staff is really very proactive, professional and caring. The food downstairs at the Cook House is awesome. May want to try their Talapia. Will Crain (Hotel Manager) attended to my specific lodging needs whenever I reached out. Would love to go back in July for a day or two. July 4, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Malloy Great location for events at American Airlines Arena Attended event at American Airlines Arena .... Hotel was great for location. No traffic or parking hassles. Everyone was helpful except whatever desk (called on morning of checkout and no one answered). However attendant at front desk was attentive when I expressed concerns about no one answering phone. Beds too low and entrance to hotel room with no bathroom door lacks privacy. July 28, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Johnny68 This hotel needs work Service at the W Dallas Victory is spotty. The service at the pool was poor. It appeared to be great for larger groups but for a single customer I felt ignored. After an hour of watching my ice melt I got up and left. I called whatever whenever twice and the first time no one answered so I had to call back 15 minutes later. My room had a minibar that required a key. Why didn't they ask me if I wanted a key at checkin? Why did I have to call to have one sent up? My room was comfortable however there was no trash can in the bathroom and the cold water did not work in the sink or shower. I don't enjoy brushing my teeth with hot water and don't enjoy scalding hot showers. My stay was for 3 nights but I checked out after 2. There is a great fitness center on the 17th floor however the elevators only go to 16. You have to track someone down to find the secret staircase to 17. All in all my worst W experience ever. July 28, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jackson2014 This hotel is centrally located The room was very comfortable with a large king sized bed and a large shower. The conference room facilities were convenient and spacious. The hotel is located within walking distance of many fun sites. October 20, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Shopgirldallas Gorgeous views and excellent staff I love staying at this hotel! The rooms are super comfortable, the view from the pool is absolutely stunning, and the customer service provided is out of this world! Not to mention that the spa is somewhere I frequent even when I'm not a guest of the hotel! It's the ultimate hot spot for relaxing poolside during the day and enjoying the nightlife! September 2, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by TravelerEL Room layout & amenities The most important things- comfort, cleanliness and quiet were excellent. The hotel, however, should provide complimentary coffee service in the rooms (even the less expensive chains do so!) The room/ bathroom layout could be problematic for multiple travelers in a single room. The tub/shower & sink iare in an open alcove with the bedroom, providing little privacy and minimal noise control. January 20, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by MicheleM2012 a pleasant surprise I am not typically a fan of the W, but was happy I stayed here. The room was large and very clean. The bed was comfortable, the air worked GREAT and the staff was attentive. Most importantly- I got sleep.....it was quiet in the room even though the hotel was crowded. A few other things: great gym and quick room service. I literally have never gotten my food delivered so quickly before ;) August 15, 2013

Game of the Week: Steelers at Titans
Game of the Week: Steelers at Titans
Breaking down Sunday's Pittsburgh Steelers at Tennessee Titans game (1 p.m., Eastern, CBS) ...
Three Things You Should Care About
1. How much will Albert Haynesworth and Kyle Vanden Bosch be missed by Tennessee? As expected, Vanden Bosch will miss his fifth game of the year after undergoing groin surgery. On its own, that's not an unmanageable injury. So far Dave Ball andJacob Ford have rotated into Vanden Bosch's void and held their own. In their four starts they've combined for two sacks coming off of that right edge while opponents have passed for an average of just 204 yards per game, which isn't far below Tennessee's season average of 187.6 (fifth-best in the NFL). Not too shabby.
Haynesworth's is the more intriguing injury because a.) The Titans have yet to play without him this season. They're 3-13 when he's been out of the lineup since 2004. And b.) he plays on the same side of the line that Vanden Bosch vacated, meaning that defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz will be stuck with backups in both positions on the right side.
In passing downs, one might expect Schwartz to make up for the loss with some creative blitz packages that would hinge upon his more than competent corners holding their own, but keep in mind that Schwartz isn't a huge blitzer. Only the Colts have blitzed less in passing situations this year. Without blitzing, he'd be betting against Ben Roethlisberger, who'd be left to pick apart Tennessee. (More on that later.)
A bigger problem could be Haynesworth's absence against the run. Without him, Pittsburgh's weakness -- running up the middle, where teeny, tiny Willie Parker and Mewelde Moore average just 2.7 yards per carry, 27th in the league -- turns into a potential strength, especially considering Haynesworth's likely replacement, rookie Jason Jones of Eastern Michigan. In what is expected to be a defensive battle, those clock-churning yards up the middle, where Haynesworth used to lurk, could come up huge in the end.
2. What does that all mean for Pittsburgh's struggling offensive line? Looking back, has there been a legitimate Super Bowl contender in the past decade whose line play has been as offensive as Pittsburgh's? Not that I can remember. And yet the Steelers get by somehow. After 15 weeks their offensive line is probably the only thing keeping them from being a unanimous Super Bowl favorite. It's one of those things, like Memphis's free-throw shooting before the NCAA basketball tournament last year, that a team manages to get away with -- but only for so long. The Steelers have pulled off four fourth-quarter comeback wins. One of these days that has to catch up with them, right?
My money says yes, if not this week then definitely in the playoffs against a team with a stronger pass rush and an offense that can put up points. (And who's that? I'm still working on that part.)
In the meantime, it's worth noting how the constant rush has changed Roethlisberger's approach to passing in '08. He's started to play like he's expecting to get walloped on every play. Last week's game-winning toss to Santonio Holmes not withstanding, watch Big Ben in the pocket and you'll see he's getting rid of the ball extremely quick, which means he's missing out on some of the big plays that might open up if he could only hang tight a moment longer.
Over the past eight weeks, Pittsburgh has produced only 22 plays of 20 yards or more, which ranks 26th in the league. But Roethlisberger has proven that he's capable of those plays when given time. In '07, for example, Pittsburgh had 59 such plays; and in '06 it had 65, which was fifth-most in the NFL. If he can settle down under what I expect to be calmer conditions, this week could be a return to form.
It's also worth mentioning here that there's an upside to Roethlisberger's new quick release that was evident on Pittsburgh's final drive of last week's win in Baltimore. During that 12-play possession he got rid of the ball in three seconds or less -- more often, it was far less -- on all but the final play, which he kept alive with a long scramble. On the four passes prior to Holmes' touchdown, Roethlisberger had released in roughly 1.5, 2, 1.5 and 0.5 seconds for gains of 9, 24 and 10, plus one incompletion. When Baltimore's defense trudged off the field, it did so without having touched Roethlisberger once during the most important drive of its season.
3. How does Tennessee approach the running game this week? You have two options, Jeff Fisher. LenDale White up the middle, where Pittsburgh allows about 2.8 yards per carry (and has only ceded two touchdowns all year). Or you hit the edges with rookie Pro Bowler Chris Johnson and endure another of White's postgame rants.
The first option is not very promising. Only the Ravens have had much success up the middle against Pittsburgh this season, and they achieved that by squirting Le'Ron McClain through a beefy unbalanced Baltimore line (three tackles to the left of the left guard) last week.
I liked the idea; it worked like a runaway steamroller. But Titans coordinator Mike Heimerdinger probably has too much confidence in his own line to try such a thing. If he defies logic and tries to take on Pittsburgh's linebackers up the middle, expect to see something akin to the horror show in Chicago when White and Johnson went 22 total yards on 24 carries, most of them right at Brian Urlacher or Lance Briggs, who combined for 15 tackles. Pittsburgh's linebackers are considerably better. Could it get much worse?
A more logical ploy would be Johnson to the outside, which could help to spread and soften Pittsburgh's edges (but wouldn't do much to sell those play action passes the Titans love to run so much, or to placate White, for that matter).
If you're Fisher, here's another way to look at it. You've kept both backs fresh all year. White averages 13 carries per game; Johnson averages 17. Neither should be gassed. So the natural move seems to be to play the hotter hand in what is essentially your first playoff game. And that would be Johnson. Since the loss to the Jets, Johnson has gone for 6.8 yards per carry while White has averaged 4.2 yards on seven more carries. Easy choice.
Things get especially interesting if Tennessee enters the red zone. The Titans rank fifth in red zone efficiency, registering a touchdown 61.4 percent of the time. Eighteen of those have come on the ground, which trails only Carolina. It should be remembered, though, the Titans were in the red zone three times last week against the Texans, who rank 31st in red zone defense, and they were held to a field goal each time. What does that say about the state of the Titans offense?
At the same time, Pittsburgh is tops in overall red zone defense, allowing scores just 31.7 percent of the time (including just five rushing touchdowns). Last week was a perfect example. The Ravens faced 1st and 10 inside the Steelers 20 on three occasions and gained just 15 yards over nine plays: 12 yards on four runs, four incompletions and one three-yard catch. Heimerdinger will have to show some creativity inside the 20s if he wants to crack this Steelers unit.
Inside The Scouting Report
Every week, we ask an NFL assistant with relevant game experience to provide an anonymous scouting report on our Game of the Week. Here's what three assistants from 2008 Tennessee opponents had to say about game-planning Johnson, White, Kerry Collins and the Titans offense, which will have its hands full against Pittsburgh's defense.
(One thing to keep in mind: When asked to comment on the Titans' offense in general, not one of our three scouts touted Tennessee's receivers. That can't be good.)

Re: Game of the Week: Steelers at Titans
On the offense in general:
"Their run game is, without question, their strength. They run the ball extremely well, and they stay in manageable third-down situations. They don't ask the quarterback to win the game. They're also very good in the red-zone. They do some things fundamentally that everybody talks about in the NFL but doesn't get accomplished. They don't ask their receivers and tight ends to do more than they can do. They play to their strengths, which is the run game."
On those running backs:
"If you were playing against LenDale White the majority of the game you could get a good plan and say, 'This is what we're going to do.' But then you bring in the speed guy, Chris Johnson, who can get on the edge and also hit you up the middle, that's a different deal. That changes how you approach things because every time he touches it he can go the distance."
On Collins:
"He doesn't take sacks; he doesn't turn the ball over. That's a big part of having success in the NFL, just being able to manage the game and, every now and then, make a play. That's the key to their success, the fact that they don't put their quarterback in a position to peril or turn the ball over.
"He's had a resiliency to the negativism during the downside of his career, and that has made him the kind of quarterback that he is right now. He can still make plays. Look at Tennessee's overall makeup, with the older guys, and they must have a lot of leadership in that locker room."
On the heart of their offensive line:
"Kevin Mawae might be on the downside of his career but he has that veteran leadership and knowledge you want to see. He's very savvy; he knows the tricks of the trade. He's a cagey kind of player who gets things done without the overall physical ability he once had when he was more of a puller. Having him right smack in the middle making calls and getting the line going where it's supposed to be going makes them physical. When we've played Tennessee, our guys have had trouble because you just don't see that kind of center week in and week out."
The Pick
Last week I showed faith in one team, the Giants, to bounce back from what looked like a minor hiccup. My bad. Now they've got me second-guessing my initial instinct, that Tennessee bounces back strong here. Having spent some more time looking over Tennessee's schedule and watching a few more games -- especially that debacle in Houston -- I'm flip-flopping. I like Pittsburgh, which has been winning big game after big game, to carry this one because its vastly talented defense can handle just about anything defensively. (Have I really gotten this far without mentioning James Harrison and James Farrior? And Troy Polamalu? Oh my.) Plus, I think the Steelers' offense can do just enough to exploit Tennessee's battered defensive front. Pittsburgh's the pick, 20-9.

Re: Game of the Week: Steelers at Titans
Good read. Thanks for posting Mesa. The key is their #1 point in missing Bosch and Haynesworth. I just have to believe that will kill their defense on Sunday and will be a huge advantage for our running game.

Re: Game of the Week: Steelers at Titans
Titans revved up about Steelers week
Sundays game is arguably one of the most important games at LP Field since the Titans won a playoff game 34-31 in overtime, thanks in part to a controversial penalty on the Steelers Dwayne Washington for running into kicker Tennessee kicker Joe Nedney.
Nedney had made a 31-yarder in overtime, but it was waved off by a Steelers timeout, even though the fireworks went off after it went through. Then, Nedney missed on the rekick, only to have the penalty move him five yards closer where he made the kick from 26 yards.
It moved the Titans to the AFC Championship Game and stuck with the Steelers players for sometime after.
Of course, it was an acting job, Steelers receiver Hines Ward said. You guys know it was an acting job, but within the rules. It stayed with me for a while. It was a great ballgame. It came down to the wire and fortunately he missed the field goal and Dewayne kind of held up, and [Nedney] flopped.
Bulluck debated Wards view on the kick somewhat.
I don't know if he flopped. I know it was good, and they lost and had to go home and we went out to Oakland, Bulluck said.
Titans safety Chris Hope, who was a Steelers rookie then, remembered it somewhat differently, of course.
All I can remember is being cheated, Hope said, perhaps only half-kidding. We played a great game and it came down to that field goal, and we know how that turned out.
Weve got a show of hands of how many of the guys that have played the Steelers before and then when those hands go up, you ask them how many of them have beat the Steelers and there was a few scattered hands in the building, and thats what gets their attention, Titans coach Jeff Fisher said.

Getting Fizzical!
A round of applause, ladies and gentlemen, for the ever-impressive Jennie McAlpine who seems to have been at the forefront of many storylines in the past twelve months. Gawd bless yer (oops, sorry, wrong soap . . .) Well done duck.
7 comments:
Fiz in prison is becoming a real contender for the worst story this year against some very stiff competition. Whining please stop persecuting me is not going to have an effect on criminals. It's just ridiculous.
All the tired cliches are here. Unsympathetic staff, a naive prisoner and authorities unable to protect the inmates. Words fail me. It's a pity the same did not befall the writers who penned such complete and utter rubbish.
As for the three stooges in Kirk's van, was this meant to be funny? It wasn't. It was some of the worst writing ever seen in Corrie and as entertaining as a Colonel Gaddafi radio show. Awful, awful plot, dialogue and acting.

Nahhh i like Fiz and i don't find this storyline that bad. I hope she does toughen up and finds her inner Cilla and i hope that carries her through to when John comes back and she gives him hell for putting her through all this.
- 2 September 2011 at 12:55
Yea, I have to agree with Tvor on this. Inner Cilla! Love it. And Tyrone's plans to help her is verging on Three Stooges comedy gold. :)

Tyrone's plan to help is not comedy gold. Its painful.

Recipe by all_for_fun101
"Easy-to-make-and-tastes-amazing fudge, but that's a pretty long title so we just call it 3-Minute Fudge. It's only 3 minutes to cook and 3 ingredients! Great to cut up and put in ice cream."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

Watch video tips and tricks
1 cup
sweetened condensed milk
1 (12 ounce) bag
semisweet chocolate chips
1 (1 ounce) square
semisweet baking chocolate, chopped
Spoiler Alert: This takes longer than three minutes. ;)
If you're pressed for time, can't find or don't have a candy thermometer, it's a great no-fail fudge recipe to have on hand. I've been making a version of this for years with excellent results.
You don't have to stick to just chocolate either - this will work with any "chip" flavor you have. Today I made peanut butter and dark chocolate, and I was about to make a pan of white chocolate when disaster struck and I dropped my last can of condensed milk on the floor. Bummer. That must have been the Universe intervening to save my poor thighs!
If you want this to feel extra fancy, use a higher quality chocolate chip, like Ghiradelli to give a better depth of flavor. You can also top with chopped nuts, festive candies or sprinkles, or some unmelted chocolate chips. Get creative.
ProTip: Skip the step where you grease the pan. Just line with a single piece of aluminum foil instead (grease it with cooking spray if you want this to be extra simple.) and when it's time to serve the fudge, just lift the entire thing out of the pan, peel off the foil and cut into squares. Voila! Clean up is easier now too.
I skip the 1 oz square and just use extra chips.
Remember to work quickly once you've removed your mixture from the microwave. It's going to thicken up & get ooey-gooey very fast, so you need to get it smooth & spread it into the pan immediately.
The last thing I've found is that this fudge does best when kept in the fridge.
Need to add some fluff to mellow out semi chips..
9 Ratings
I would add a pinch of salt to this.
This was super easy and very tasty. I made 3 different versions, using different chips as another reviewer suggested: Chocolate, Dark Chocolate (for Mom), and Mint Chocolate. All were excellent!!
I have a 1000 watt microwave. I put it on for 5 minutes at 30%. I used Reese's pieces. I added one teaspoon of vanilla. I licked the spatula and it tasted great. I will definitely experiment around with this recipe with different flavors.
This recipe sounds good but I have never tried to make and I wish it didn't take 3 hours to set.
Too chewy/rubbery, not at all like "real" fudge.
I've been making this fudge for years. I do add a tsp of vanilla and, since I'm into instant gratification, I simply spread it out on a piece of waxed paper on a cutting board and stick it in the freezer for a few minutes to harden (or on the back porch in the winter d;^)).

Sean Kelly, MEP, in Barcelona this morning
Sean Kelly, Fine Gael MEP for Ireland South, has been selected to receive the prestigious IAB Europe Award for Leadership and Excellence for his approach to dealing with privacy concerns over shortcomings in the European Commissions data protection proposal.
IAB Europe represents more than 5,500 online advertising media, research and analytics organisations.
Kelly, who serves as the EU's Industry Committee Rapporteur for the General Data Protection Regulation, gave a keynote to 500 internet industry delegates in Barcelona this morning at the 7th annual Interact conference on the proposed data regulation on businesses in Europe – the largest reform of data privacy law in two decades.
"We are making significant progress in the area of data protection regulation legislation in the European Union, balancing consumer privacy rights while also supporting innovation in electronic media. The Interact Congress award highlights how digital media technology has become a core element of business advertising strategy and investment," Kelly said.
In describing the decision to award Kelly, the CEO of IAB Europe Kimon Zorbas said Kelly stands out.
"He met with stakeholders across the spectrum and introduced new and powerful privacy concepts that addressed shortcomings in the European Commission's data protection proposal. Kelly's approach to dealing with privacy concerns demonstrates a deep understanding that the data-driven economy is crucial for growth and jobs in Europe, as well as the importance of balancing this with consumer trust."
