Q & A: 'God Loves Uganda'
Posted on Nov 11, 2013
By Emily Wilson
After winning an Academy Award for his documentary short "Music by Prudence," filmmaker Roger Ross Williams decided to use the clout the victory gave him to explore the role of the American evangelical movement in Uganda's turn toward biblical law and the proposed death penalty for homosexuality. To make "God Loves Uganda," Williams, a gay man, talked with the leaders and the young missionaries at the always-open International House of Prayer (IHOP) in Kansas City, Mo., as well as religious leaders and activists in Uganda.
In San Francisco, Williams talked about his upbringing in the Baptist church, the factors that made Uganda so appealing to fundamentalists, how sex sells and the ways his movie is changing things in Africa.
Emily Wilson: You were in Africa making "Music by Prudence" when you got the idea for this story, right? What made you want to make this movie?
Roger Ross Williams: I was making "Music by Prudence" in Zimbabwe, and I noticed that there was a church on almost every corner. There was a type of fundamentalist Christianity in Zimbabwe, and as I began exploring, in sub-Saharan Africa as a whole. I became interested in faith and religion in Africa, and part of that is because I grew up in the Baptist church and my family, they're all ministers. My uncle has a pretty large mega-church in Pennsylvania. I grew up singing in the gospel choir, and I felt part of it because the African church is great for community. But I didn't feel part of it because I never felt accepted as a gay man because it's not an affirming church.
When I heard about what was going on in Uganda, it was fascinating to me because it was such an extreme version of what I had experienced as a child—that sense of one type of biblical truth. I decided I had to go and check it out.
I went over there, and the first person I met was the gay activist David Kato. It was a research trip, so I thought I would film some research interviews, and I would never use them in the film. I got there late at night. I was in Rwanda and I took a bus there and the first thing in the morning waiting for me in my hotel was David Kato and three other activists, and they started telling me everything that was going on. A lot of film crews were making films about the activist community there, but David Kato said, "The story no one has told is the story of the damage the American fundamentalists are doing in my country." I didn't need any further push than that. That's the interview I use in the film, that's the research interview that was never meant to be on camera. He was brutally murdered soon after I got back to the U.S. I told them, "OK, I'm going to go deep into the other side." To me it was challenging—I always want to challenge myself as a filmmaker— to go into the world of people who hated me so much they wanted to see me dead and to explore that.
EW: What did you tell people about yourself? Didn't they ask about your personal life?
RRW: No, they didn't. I was following hugely powerful, popular pastors in Uganda who were very wealthy. One of the pastors had the Ugandan military guarding him, and he gave me police escorts through the streets of Kampala. I was in this crazy world, and they believed I was sent to them by God to glorify their ministries, so I sort of went with that. They're so self-focused. I think the thing that got me the access is that I won an Academy Award. They were like, "I have an Academy Award-winning filmmaker who's following me." They're all about flashing their wealth and prosperity. I was in this world but always terrified I would be found out. These guys were talking about forming their own militias to go door to door to hunt down gay people because the government wasn't moving fast enough. They believe in spiritual warfare. Pastor Scott Lively went there and addressed the parliament for five hours with this narrative that Western homosexuals were coming in to recruit their children and their goal was to wipe out society.
EW: With the missionary Jo Anna Watson or the pastor Lou Engle, did you ever ask them about why they thought it was OK to kill homosexuals when there's a commandment against killing?
RRW: The Americans knew I was gay. When I approached IHOP they said, "You're part of the gay agenda." But I convinced them to be in the film because I said, "There's not going to be a reporter, this is not a news piece, you're going to speak for yourself." I think Jono [Hall], the media director of IHOP and aspiring filmmaker, he was very impressed that I had won the Academy Award. I spoke to their media group and showed "Music by Prudence" and they were like [mimes clapping.] So for me I was like, "What do I do with this award?" I'm going to use it to do some good in the world. How do you spend that capital? So it worked. It was harder to get them to let me follow them to Uganda. It took me a year and a half to get Lou Engle to do an interview. He's very outspoken on this issue. At his 33,000 person rally for Prop. 8 in California, he said that if Prop. 8 is defeated it will unleash an insanity on the earth worse than the threat of Islam. He throws these huge prayer rallies, and his three main things he's fighting in order to eradicate evil and usher in the second coming are abortion, homosexuality and Islam. He's also a leader in the Republican Party. You can see him on YouTube praying with Michele Bachmann for the end of Obamacare. He was Newt Gingrich's evangelical adviser. He threw Rick Perry's huge rally in Texas, the Response. No one organizes a big prayer rally better than Lou Engle.

Triple Pundit: Duane Reade Asks New Yorkers To Decide Which Trucks Go Electric
The drugstore chain partners with Mission Electric to bring cleaner vehicles to the streets of the city, asking shoppers to 'vote' which locations will get e-trucks.
Businesses are warming up to the idea of crowdsourcing more and more to help them become more sustainable. Unilever asked for ideas about sustainable showering, Heineken looked for some help in designing a greener six pack, and now Duane Reade is asking the public to help it decide which of its stores in New York City will switch to electric trucks. It's true that participants don't need to contribute their creativity to the decision-making process, in this case, but this time they're getting an opportunity to make an impact not only on the company, but also on their own neighborhood.
This initiative is a result of collaboration between Mission Electric, a partnership among non-profits and the mayor's offices of Boston, Philadelphia, and New York City to educate and engage the public around electric vehicles and Duane Reade, which is looking to switch 25 percent of its fleet to electric trucks over the next year. The company has already selected five stores in New York City to serve with e-trucks, and now is asking the public to vote (on Mission Electric's website) which two additional stores in the Big Apple will be going completely electric.

15lb felt or synthetic
I need some opinions on which product works best for underlay under a metal roof. 15lb felt or the new synthetic stuff. Any opinions are welcome lets be nice though. I know the synthetic underlays are a lot more money, but are they that much better.
For metal I usually prep the roof to manufacturers recommendations....which is what our code says to do.
Yup, talked to the supplier and he says to use the synthetic stuff.
Thanks Mics
Of course the supplier will tell you that.
I would say with honesty that only SOME of the synthetics are better than felt, and I haven't tried all of them. Feltex lays very good along with Shinglemate from GAF and Certainteed's Roofers Select. The cheapo 15 lb felt is almost useless.

text: Paramedic Jeff Collier to exit Casualty Actor Matt Bardock will depart in an upcoming episode after more than seven years on the BBC1 medical drama Comments Written By David Brown 2:25 PM, 30 June 2014 Actor Matt Bardock is to exit BBC1's Casualty after more than seven years' service as paramedic Jeff Collier. Jeff - who was first seen on screen in February 2007 - has had an eventful time on the series, having married colleague Dixie in order to keep her dying dad happy, suffered with PTSD after attending the massacre at Holby College and being recently trapped behind bars during the Holby prison riots. Executive producer Oliver Kent said today of Jeff's upcoming departure: "Matt Bardock has given us one of Casualty's all-time favourite characters and we are sad to see him go. Jeff Collier has been an iconic action hero for seven years and we have been so lucky to have had him on our team for so long. We wish him all the very best for the future." Writing today on Twitter, Bardock - whose pre-Casualty credits included A Touch of Frost and Prime Suspect - said that he was overwhelmed by the reaction of fans: overwhelmed with the lovely comments.Thank you all so much for the love and support for jeff. It was a real gas for seven years. Xx — matt bardock (@mattbardock) June 30, 2014 Despite Jeff's time in the ambulance bay coming to an end, he is set to be part of an upcoming storyline that will see him attract the attention of the flirtatious Samantha (played by former Coronation Street and EastEnders actress Michelle Collins).

Summer Heat Worse for Outdoor Jobs
While we may be complaining about the summer heat, try making a living working outdoors. Nicholas Sanson, President at A-Tex Roofing and Remodeling says working as a roofer in August, is no easy feat.
"If I had to describe it, brutal in one word," he said. "It's 150 to 180 degrees up there... jobs that are normally one day jobs are taking two to three days to finish."
The summer heat not only causes concerns for the health of the roofers but also productivity.
"We require a mandatory number of breaks," Sanson said. "For every hour that they're up there they have to come down for 15 minute breaks."
Making sure every gets off the roof and is staying hydrated by getting in the water is a serious concern during the summer, he said.
"I know that we are hitting record temperature and this has probably been the most intense scenario that we have dealt with," Sanson said. "If you're working in air condition, make sure you cherish it."

movie trailer (realplayer)
The film opens at a fancy dinner party where a few couples and a priest (Andy Richter) are standing around a piano, singing dirty rap songs. The homeowner's daughter appears and begins to pee on the carpet. Not just dribble but buckets of pee. We next see her in her bedroom, possessed by the devil as James Woods is called in to exorcise her. He however is kind of attracted to the way she lashes her tongue at him so he proceeds to have sex with her.
Next thing you know, everyone is pucking on each other and it goes back and forth as to whose turn it is to vomit. The priest finally has enough and shoots the girl in the head.
This pretty much sets the stage for the kind of humor for the next hour.
It's now a year later and a group of kids from the earlier movie are asked by their professor (Tim Curry), to participate in a sleep depravation experiment.
The site is at the exorcism house from a year earlier. He actually wants to do experiments on paranormal activity at the house but doesn't tell them that.
Cindy (Anna Faris), Ray (Shawn Wayans), Shorty (Marlon Wayans), and Brenda (Regina Hall) along with a few others, arrive at the house for the weekend experiment. (Who cares if Ray, Shorty and Brenda all died in the first one)
The caretaker is Chris Elliot who has a horribly disfigured hand and uses it for everything from brushing hair out of peoples face to stirring a bowl of mashed potatoes.
The crude gags start coming every couple minutes from this point on and the story just sort of works it way in between spots.
The ghost of the rich former owner haunts the house. He's after Cindy because she looks a lot like his former wife. (Although it is pointed out a few times that Cindy's breasts aren't as nice as the wife's.)
Among the funny gags are Tori Spelling getting raped by the ghost, (she enjoys it so much she imagines what it would be like to be married to him which scares him away.)..
Ray getting even with the stuffed clown that was terrorizing him by well, er, um... doing something with him under his bed...
Brenda re-arranging a skeleton that was after her by putting its arms, legs and head in different places...
The girls doing a "Charlies Angels" type of kung fu on the head ghost...
Chris Elliot and Curry's wheelchair bound assistant, exchanging cripple, and gimpy hand put-downs...
There's also a now obligatory scene of Cindy getting flown across the room by semen.
Finally, Tori is killed off (to the parrot's response. "You're the weakest link, goodbye") The ghost of the rich man's mistress kills Curry and finally, the rich ghost is tricked into getting on some sort of energy producing disc and he is destroyed.
A year later Cindi and another guy she met at the house (the guy with all the semen) are at a street-side hot dog stand. When the vendor turns out to be Chris Elliot, she looks up, screams and Elliot and the vending stand get run over by a car.

The shares closed unchanged at 298 1/2p, but dealers were last night talking them down by as much as 100p if a profits warning hits dealers' screens this morning.
Tory party donor Wheeler resigned as chief executive earlier this year and was replaced by Nat Le Roux. Wheeler has remained as chairman. The stock has already more than halved in value since November following a drastic decline in trading.
Competition in the cut-throat spread-betting field is fierce. Le Roux has admitted that the heady days of endless growth are over for the time being. Many clients who lost their shirts when the internet bubble burst have yet to return, some lost for good. The bear market has kept business to a minimum and IG Group has suffered more than most.
IG's price perked up on relief that Chancellor Gordon Brown's Budget tax measures left the sector unscathed, but has since drifted on lack of support. IG's sports division will be hoping for a lucrative World Cup, but its financial side will probably suffer as a result.
Continuing sabre-rattling between Pakistan and India over Kashmir and fears of a terrorist attack on the US on Memorial Day kept investors away. With Wall Street closed, business was slow and turnover a disappointing 1.8bn shares. The FTSE 100 lost an early 18.8-point gain to finish 32.8 off at 5136.3 after Pakistan's President Musharraf warned that 'war could break out'. Sterling strengthened as the euro slipped to 63.1p. In dollar terms, the pound held firm at $1.4570.
'Take profits' advice by Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein left BT Group3 1/4p easier at 283p. Sir Martin Sorrell's giant advertising agency WPP lost 17 1/2p to 722p after client Unilever (1 1/2p dearer at 634p) confirmed a four-year £320m advertising deal with ITV.
Buying ahead of an imminent trading statement lifted logistics group Hays 6p to 164 1/2p.
Supermarket J Sainsbury was off the menu ahead of Wednesday's results, closing 5 1/4p down at 370 3/4p. Hilary Cook, at Barclays Private Clients, says 'sell'. She believes Sainsbury will show a good profits recovery from last year's depressed levels, but the question is where does it go from here?
Tracker funds moved smoothly through the gears at GKN, lifting the price 10 1/2p to 350p on confirmation that the car parts and helicopter group will replace Innogy - taken over by Germany's RWE - in the Footsie on Wednesday.
Expectations that its bid for rival motor dealer Quicks will go unconditional on Wednesday helped CD Bramall accelerate 19p to 365 1/2p.
Pet food distributor Armitage Brothers was as sick as a parrot at 149p, down 9 1/2p, after warning that pre-tax profits for the year to June will disappoint. Aim-listed fund manager Savoy Asset Management, where former Chancellor Ken Clarke is chairman, dropped 20p to a low of 100p after warning that profits for the year to March 2002 would be below market expectations and there would be no final dividend. TransEda collapsed 5p to 9 1/2p on a profits warning. New contracts in the third quarter took longer to nail down and that hurt turnover.
Computer services group Patsystems firmed 1 1/4p to 10p, after chief executive David Leighton purchased 500,000 shares at 9p. Dealers expect shares of oil services firm John Wood to be priced near the middle of the 175p-210p price range. The offer is believed to be more than three times subscribed.Reuse content

This year will be my first Christmas in Germany which also means it will be my first time to experience the famous German Christmas markets (Weihnachtsmarkt auf Deutsch) that I always hear about.
The previews Christmases saw me eating pierogi in the gorgeous Tatra mountains of Poland, throwing a Christmas dinner party in Stockholm and spending time with my family back in the Philippines.
Check out my bowtied beauty hosting a Christmas dinner party at my apartment in Stockholm with friends from Brazil, Turkey, India, USA (not in video) and the Philippines because, you know, that's how you spend Christmas when you live abroad: with other foreign friends. Mostly.
Announcing the Ultimate German Christmas Market Tour
My rule in life is that if I commit to doing something I should go all the way or I shouldn't do it at all.
So I'm pulling all the stops with German Christmas markets this year. If I'm doing Christmas markets, I might as well go all out. I am visiting a mixture of German christmas markets – from the most famous to the smaller, off-the-radar ones. As of press time, there are over 2,500 Christmas markets all over Germany. Cray cray. I will be visiting a number of Christmas markets in 7 German cities.
To keep up with what I promised you guys last month, here is my eurotrip itinerary this December featuring German Christmas markets:
November 30 – Baden-Baden Christmas Market
What makes it special: This famous spa and thermal bath city located in the legendary hills of the Black Forest has a very cozy Christmas market set against the backdrop of the world-famous Kurhaus casino. I just recently came back from this trip and loved it. More dispatches soon on the blog about my first ever glühwein experience here!
Dates: November 25 – December 30, 2013
Opening Times: 11AM to 9PM daily
UPDATE: Check out my post and photos of Baden-Baden Christmas Market
December 1 – Mannheim Christmas Market
What makes it special: It is one of the largest and most beautiful Christmas markets in Southwest Germany. It is situated by the Wasserturm, surrounded by an expansive Art Nouveau garden. And it's just literally 5 minutes from the central station. I enjoyed my Sunday night here before heading back home. Pictures to come soon!
Dates: November 27 – December 23, 2013
Opening Times: 11AM to 9PM daily
UPDATE: Check out my post and photos of Mannheim Christmas Market
December 6 – Nürnberg Christmas Market
What makes it special: The Nuremberg (Nürnberg auf Deutsch) Christmas Market is one of the most famous Christmas Markets in the world even though it's not the biggest nor the oldest. The city is also home to one of the oldest wursts in the world and one of my favorites, the Nuremberg bratwurst. This December, everything is literally booked and train tickets are cray cray expensive (one-way 4-hour train ticket now costs around 220 euros kill me now) so if you're going here this year, I hope you've already booked your tickets and hotels.
I'm heading there later today and staying for 3 days. Excited!
Dates: November 25 – December 30, 2013
Opening Times: 11AM to 9PM daily
UPDATE: Check out and bookmark my Insider Guide to the Nuremberg Christmas Market for your trip next year!
December 14 – Essen Christmas Market
What makes it special: Well I am mostly based here so that makes it special! Plus it's actually called International Essen Christmas Market because it features exotic products from around the world. And you can also food trip here because it offers different cuisines from all over the world. I haven't spent much time here though because I'm always away but this month one of my friends is coming to visit so we will invade this together.
Dates: November 21 – December 23, 2013
Opening Times:
Sun-Thu 11am-9pm
Fri-Sat 11am-10pm
Sun 24.11 6pm-10pm
December 22 – Wiesbaden Christmas Market
This charming little city near Frankfurt is also one of the oldest spa towns in Europe. It's Christmas market is called "Wiesbaden Twinkling Star Christmas Market" because of the characteristic brightly lit ten-metre high lilies decorated all over the Christmas market. We will be visiting a friend and staying overnight before heading to Cologne for Christmas.
Dates: November 26 – December 23, 2013
Opening Times:
Mon-Thu 10.30am-9pm daily
Fri-Sat 10.30am-9.30pm
Sunday noon-9pm
December 23 – Cologne Christmas Market
What makes this special: OK where do I begin? I've lived in Cologne on and off since 2011 and this city is special to me. From what I know, Cologne has around 7 Christmas markets scattered all over its major areas. But the best one it seems is the Christmas market by the famous Cologne Cathedral in the city center (see photo above). I still don't know which ones I'm checking but for sure I'll be checking some of them.
Dates: November 25 – December 23, 2013
Opening Times: various times; check online for your preferred Christmas market
December 27 – Berlin Christmas Market
What makes this special: Berlin is the capital city of German Christmas Markets with around 60 different Christmas markets all over the city. Cray cray. I still have no plans which ones to check out. I'll probably just ask local friends who live there to point me to the best ones. More importantly, we're also spending New Year's Eve in Berlin and staying for 2 weeks. Some of our friends are also coming to spend New Year's in Berlin with us so I'm sure it's gonna be super duper fun! And some readers of the blog has messaged me that they will be there too so a meet-up is in order. Let me know if you're in Berlin too!
Dates: November 25 – December 31, 2013
Opening Times:
Sun-Thu 11am-10pm
Fri-Sat 11am-11pm
Christmas Eve 11am-6pm
New Years Eve 11am-1am
All in all, I will have a very busy month this December. I hope, though, that I won't get sick of Christmas markets after this.
P.S. Have you answered the reader survey yet? It takes two minutes!
Have you been to a German Christmas market? Which one was your favorite?


text: Twittering is not for me. My son showed me on my cell phone where I can get on the internet and twitter and everything. I just use my cell phone to make calls and text once in a while. I did not know I had a computer in my pocketbook. My children do not have cell phones but sometimes I let the use it to call friends and play games, all the while he was using my cell for the internet. I am so stupid.

now I'm getting pissed off.
I posted on Vivid racings forum about some problems I was having with an order I had placed with Them. Nothing nasty. They decided to take it off of thier forum so now I will post it here.
I have to start off by saying that vivd racing has a nice selection of products. pricing is OK, shipping prices are WAY too much, and their shipping dept is HORRIBLE.
I placed 2 orders with them one on june 19 and one on june 25, a total of 9 items. I received first shipment with 1 item, second shippment with 2 items. Now I send them an email about the status to my order. They reply 2 days later with a tracking number. Package delivered on July 10 with 2 more items STILL missing 4 items one of wich was ordered on the 19 of June. I suggested that before they expand there website with more products they work on adding if an item is in stock to their website and to better inform the customers as to what is going on with thier orders. I quess they didn't take it to well.
I was not trying to bash them just let them know they need alot of improvement in this area.Edited the subject line.

The World Poker Tour Prague Main Event is now getting to the serious end of the event, with the 287 players that had survived the three opening day flight converging together for the first time. This event always proves to be a popular one, with this year certainly proving to be exactly that.
As Day 2 finished it was Marco Lang who stood at the top of the leader board above the 77 players that will be going into Day 3.
He has a stack of 694,000 which puts him about 125k ahead of his closest rival 2011 WSOPE Main Event winner Elio Fox who has 571,500. Fox has famously earned his 2.8 million career winnings without ever needing a backer, which is a rarity in the poker scene these days.
He found his way up to second place after eliminating one of the biggest favourites in the event Mike McDonald, when he had aces against his opponents pocket tens.
Other Notables Still In The Mix!
The two players at the top are in the best positions but there are still some top notch players amongst the chasing pack, with Toby Lewis, Jason Mercier, Elisabeth Hille, Shannon Shorr and Keven Stammen all still going fairly well.
Whilst they are still involved there were also some more notable names that went tumbling out of the event on Day 2 including PokerStars Team Pro Eugene Katchalov, Jonathan Duhamel, Thor Hansen, Steve O'Dwyer and of course Mike McDonald.
They were just a few of the names that were unfortunately eliminated yesterday, though there were many more, there were in fact a total of 210 so it would be impossible to list them all here. Play on Day 3 will start with the blinds at 1,500/3,000 with an additional bounty of 500, meaning that the players near the bottom of the pile will start to feel the pinch as the day gets on tomorrow.
The Current Top Ten:
Marco Lang – 694,000
Elio Fox – 571,500
Pawel Brzeski – 544,000
Manuel Bevand – 537,500
Dermot Blain – 530,000
Oleksii Khoroshenin – 513,000
Konstantin Danilov – 465,000
Mikhail Mazunin – 440,000
Jussi Nevanlinna – 438,500
Toby Lewis – 417,000
Day 3 is set to start up at 1pm local time with each of the players knowing that the bubble is now just 6 players away, so we are expecting the action to start off very slowly once it does get underway. Check with us as we let you know who that bubble boy was on this occasion.

Dustin Hoffman narrates the famed animated made-for-television feature dreamt up, written and produced by the late Harry Nilsson, based on his album of the same name and featuring the hit song "Me and My Arrow." In a land where everyone and everything has a point, the birth of a pointless child throws the kingdom into an existential crisis that is temporarily resolved by banishing the youngster Oblio to the Pointless Forest with his pet (and accomplice) Arrow.
On their journey, Oblio and Arrow meet a bizarre stable of characters, and discover that sometimes the most seemingly pointless things are the most integral to human existence. A treat for Nilsson aficionados and '70s animation fans alike.

As Green Bay coach Mike McCarthy planned to go over the rules for his team during their trip to Dallas for Super Bowl XLV, it appears his players are already on the right page concerning all the distractions surrounding the NFL's biggest game.
"This is a business trip," safety Nick Collins said, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. "We're going down there for one reason, and that's to become Super Bowl champs."
Guard Josh Sitton agreed: "I don't care too much about Dallas or doing anything down there," he said. "That's the general consensus of our guys. We're going down there to win the Lombardi Trophy. That's it."
While McCarthy said he hopes to make this week as normal as possible for his players, he knows that's not the easiest task, especially for the younger players on the roster.
"Youth is something you need to keep an eye on," McCarthy said. "They're human. They need to understand the limits. We're going to educate them like we always do."
Thankfully, McCarthy has several players on the Packers roster that have been here before in Charles Woodson, Ryan Pickett and John Kuhn.
"We're at Lambeau every day from 6:30 (a.m.) until 4:30 (p.m.) and I don't see that routine changing much," Kuhn said. "I don't see that changing just because we're going to Dallas. Football is first and foremost the most important thing on everybody's mind."
Collins knows there will always be distractions in such a week, but the Packers are ready for it.
"There's always going to be distractions," Collins said. "But we're grown adults. We know what to do."
Nate Davis is a reporter, blogger and editor who's been at USA TODAY since 2000. He has covered the NFL since 2005. No, he did not play quarterback for Ball State. Davis' succession of our esteemed colleague Sean Leahy at The Huddle is considered a Brady-for-Bledsoe swap by most "insiders."More about Nate

The Surprising Do's & Don'ts Of Hand-Washing
Frequent hand-washing is one of the best ways to avoid getting sick and spreading illness. Hand-washing requires only soap and water or an alcohol-based hand sanitizer — a cleanser that doesn't require water. Find out when and how to wash your hands properly.
When to wash your hands…
As you touch people, surfaces and objects throughout the day, you accumulate germs on your hands. In turn, you can infect yourself with these germs by touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Although it's impossible to keep your hands germ-free, washing your hands frequently can help limit the transfer of bacteria, viruses and other microbes.
Always wash your hands before:
• Preparing food or eating

Legere says that it was T-Mobile's message, of being the "Un-carrier" that brought customers to the carrier, and kept the ones that were already there from leaving. T-Mobile stopped subsidizing the cost of new phones with higher wireless costs. T-Mobile also started its JUMP plan for those who want to upgrade their phones more often. So far 700,000 customers have signed up for the program, which was eventually copied by Verizon and AT&T.
Yes, things are looking up for T-Mobile, led by the outspoken Legere who has become a media darling starting with his comments calling AT&T's network "crap" during CES. "The postpaid phone net adds for T-Mobile exceeded those of AT&T, Sprint and Verizon (added) together," the CEO recently said. "To me, that's one of the strongest statements you can make about a quarter." In addition, for every two T-Mobile customers leaving, the operator is bringing in three new customers from AT&T and Sprint.
Last quarter, iPhone sales represented only 21% of T-Mobile's smartphone sales, a number Legere calls "healthy." Although the CEO doesn't credit the iPhone for the carrier's surge in the second quarter, Legere still expects to do plenty of business with Apple in the future.

It's much easier to take red wine to a dinner party - it will reliably pair with most main courses.
But what if you preferred white wines? While most white wines will only work for white meats and seafood, it doesn't always have to be the case.
Here are 10 white wines, all under £15, that will see you through some great meals.
Cave de Lugny Macon Villages Blanc 2012, Burgundy, France
Green apple is the top note for this robust white wine, made from Chardonnay grapes. It has seen some oak during ageing which means that there's a nutty, creaminess to it. That extra depth makes it ideal for pairing with a creamy pork stew.
£8.49 from Wine Rack
Clementine Chenin Blanc 2012, South Africa
This wine is filled with nuances of apples and pears but is followed by a distinctive, savoury note and flinty minerality. It's also incredibly refreshing so would be perfect for a buttery seafood dish like sole meuniere with new potatoes.
£6.99 from Wine Rack (or £6 each when you buy 2)
The Paddler Riesling 2012, Marlborough, New Zealand
There's so much fruit, and residual sugar, from this Riesling that you might wonder if it's better suited for desserts. And that can work. The lemony tang is pronounced, bolstered by floral notes and chalky minerality. If you want to go savoury for this wine, opt for a gently-spicy Thai green curry.
£13.95 from fullaloveswines.co.uk
Domaine des Aubuisieres Vouvray 2012, Loire, France
This off-dry Vouvray, made with Chenin Blanc grapes, is very citrusy with a hint of blossom and green apple. With medium body, it's got good enough structure to cope with heavier food. To contrast the high acidity in this wine, think chicken in a creamy sauce.
£9.99 from Majestic (or £8.99 each when you buy 2)
Montenovo Godello 2012, Valdeorras, Spain
The Godello grape is generally only found in wines from the Galicia region of Spain. This example is very delicate - it has incredible acidity coupled with hints of citrus. Try it with a tomato-based seafood paella.
£11.99 from Majestic (or £9.99 each when you buy 2)
Waimea Estate Pinot Gris 2012, Nelson, New Zealand
This Pinot Gris is very light on the nose but offers a bucket-load of flavour on the palate. The top notes are green apples but there's also a hint of lemon and flinty minerality. It would work well with a Caesar salad or butternut squash soup.
£13.49 from Majestic (or £10.79 each when you buy 2)
Lammershoek Chenin Blanc 2010, Swartland, South Africa
If it's minerality that you're looking for then this wine has bags of it. It also boasts apple and floral notes that takes away some of the steeliness. This is a wine with character so you will need something equally characterful like duck rilette with cornichons.
£11.95 from Berry Bros & Rudd
Villa Broglia Gavi 2012, Piedmont, Italy
They say that the 2012 vintage in Gavi was the smallest and highest quality ever recorded. This light wine is perfumed with white flower and citrus but finishes with a slight nuttiness. Despite its delicate style, it will happily suit something like a roasted cod with crushed potatoes and samphire.
£12.49 from Laithwaites
Cono Sur Bicicleta Viognier 2012, Central Valley, Chile
Viognier grapes are known for making aromatic wines and this is no exception. Melon and orange blossom really comes through for this medium-bodied tipple but those are just the most pronounced flavours. It has enough complexity to work with an Asian-inspired stir fry. Even beef will work here.
£6 from Morrisons
Poggio alle Rondini Verdicchio di Matelica 2012, Marche, Italy
This full bodied wine has hints of melon and apple, coupled with creamy minerality. There's some development to the wine already but there's also still quite a lot of fruit. It's perfect for something like seared pork chop with braised cabbage.
£8.99 from Majestic (or £6.99 each when you buy 2)


text: I've been trying to troubleshoot the problem with my new Roamio not getting authorized for about 3 weeks. While both Tivo and Comcast are trying to be helpful, its not going anywhere. (I'm getting all channels but the premium ones and VOD freezes.). Tivo claims my SNR is too high. Its at the 42 level. Tried putting attenuators in place, to get it down to 36, but then I lose my internet connection. For grins, I wanted to see what my SNR on the TIvo is when absolutely nothing is plugged into it but the HDMI cable and Power. Right now, SNR is 19. Switched cable cards, it is 19. This is with nothing plugged into the coax. All other electronics, except for the TV turned off. Does it seem unusual that I start out with a 19 SNR level with nothing plugged in?

The Capitals traded center Mathieu Perreault to the Anaheim Ducks on Sunday, a move that appears to have set their roster for the start of the season.
Perreault, 25, spent his entire professional career in the Capitals organization but there were signs he might be edged out of the lineup during training camp as Coach Adam Oates experimented with first Eric Fehr and then Martin Erat at center.
"I was trying to figure out what was going on, just like everybody else seeing all the guys in the middle, and when you look back at it, they had to make room on the cap space for some of the new guys they liked," Perreault said in a phone interview. "With me being just a little over a million on the cap I know I was the target. I've told them before I want to play and they didn't want to have me be on the bench or in the stands anymore, so they felt like it was time to make a move and I respect that."
In exchange for Perreault, the Capitals will receive a fourth-round pick in the 2014 draft and AHL prospect John Mitchell from Anaheim. But what Washington truly gains from this trade is salary cap space to keep some younger prospects on the NHL roster.
The removal of Perreault's $1.05 million salary cap hit provides room for Washington to keep both 2012 first-round pick Tom Wilson, who carries a $894,200 cap hit before bonuses, and feisty center Michael Latta. Perreault's departure also brings the Capitals down to the NHL maximum 23-man roster well ahead of Monday's 5 p.m. deadline.
Perreault, a sixth-round pick in 2006, had mixed emotions about the trade. The Capitals are the only franchise he's ever known but with the abundance of forwards in training camp he could see that he likely wasn't going to get the playing time he hoped for.
"It's kind of a weird situation I've never been in. I don't know if I should be excited going to a new place or sad to leave D.C. It's a little bit of both," said Perreault, who recorded 33 goals and 70 points in 159 regular season games over the past four seasons with the Capitals. "I love D.C. This is the team that gave me my first chance. I have a bunch of good friends here but it was time for me to move on. I saw during training camp when they were trying a bunch of different guys in the middle that there wasn't much room for me."
The Quebec native hopes his reunion with former Capitals coach Bruce Boudreau in Anaheim will provide greater opportunity to assert himself as a playmaking center.
"I know Bruce always liked me, I always had good talks with him even though I got sent down a couple times when he was here. He would talk to me I felt like he really liked me as a player," Perreault said. "I'm excited to see what will happen there. I've talked with their GM and they're excited. I am too."

Ed Sheeran Serenades Dying Fan
Helping to fulfill one of his devoted fan's wishes, Ed Sheeran serenaded 15-year-old Triona Priestley on Sunday (March 30) over the phone.
While battling cystic fibrosis complications, friends and family of the Scottish teenager took to Twitter asking for Ed to perform her favorite song "Little Bird" as her final wish, using the hashtag #SongForTri.
Immediately after #SongForTri began to trend, Sheeran's management contacted Triona's friend Lucy Hanlon to arrange the phone between the girl and her idol.
After the exchange between Miss Priestley and the "Lego House" hitmaker, Lucy took to her Facebook and wrote, "Ed rang Triona and personally sang 'Little Bird' to her as she took her last breaths. Triona left us listening to her idol surrounded by all the people she loved."
"People's respect is incredible. We would like to thank everyone," she added.

Manuel Almunia has been playing through the pain barrier for the past few weeks.
The Arsenal keeper has not travelled to Porto for this evening's Champions League tie after suffering a second injury to his hand. The problem is likely to keep him out for the weekend game against Sunderland too and, in his pre-match press conference, Arsène Wenger also revealed that, but for pain-killing injections, the Spaniard would have missed most of this month.
"At first he twisted the top of his finger [above the joint]," said the manager.
"But then he did the other, lower part of the finger in training three or four days ago.
"He had an injection to play against Manchester United, and played through the pain against Chelsea and Liverpool.
"I don't think the injury hampered him. As long as it's only the top part of the finger, you can use the finger. But when it's the lower joint, you can't play with that.
"He himself wanted to play in this game. He was keen. But the ball flies so much, particularly the Champions League ball, you need that flexibility in the finger to parry it."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

The top US military commander in Iraq will ask President Bush to wait until as late as Depatember to decide when to bring home more troops than already scheduled. General David Petraeus and Ambassador Ryan Crocker are supposed to tell Congress next month their recommendations for how many soldiers will be returned home. Petraeus has ben talking about a "period of assessment" which would provide a clearer indication as to how many members of the military could safely be returned. An official who briefed reporters at the White House said Petraeus was talking about a four to six week additional period of waiting before he could make final recommendations.
Secretary of Defense Gates has also indicated he savors suspension in withdrawal plans. Admiral Mullen, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff recently commented; "We don't know how long the pause is going to last."
The unspoken words about withdrawal of troops from Iraq is whether or not there might be additional need for troops in Afghanistan. Several European nations have indicated growing weariness with the apparent confused campaign in Afghanistan and might withdraw troops. There are reports the German parliament will refuse to extend the commitment of 3,000 German troops. What then? Will American troops take their place?

China may not have Facebook, but it looks like the country is getting timeline. Renren, a Chinese social media site, has pretty much copied the design of Facebook's timeline, right down to the introduction page.
As first reported by sister site Inside Facebook, Renren has been a constant shadow of Facebook, which is blocked in China. Now the site has launched something similar to timeline. Renren is even copying the fancy scrolling introduction that accompanied the site's move to timeline in other parts of the world. In music parlance, Renren has sampled Facebook's news feed, mobile, and profile looks. The website introducing the changes shows things such as the cover photo, profile photo, and life events — all Facebook creations.
Does this look familiar?
Facebook Engineer Stefan Parker, who worked on timeline, publicly posted on his page about Renren's new design:
Although if they were smart, they wouldn't use our float model and use absolute positioning. They'd just need to build some sort of global register for any size changes. I'm not entirely sure how good their engineers are, since they don't often create anything, but it's bound to be difficult work to reverse-engineer everything, so they're not fools.
Parker added that the code he used to make timeline work in Internet Explorer 6 is also in Renren's new product.
This timeline-like design rolled out last month for Renren users in beta and, just like Facebook, it will be introduced gradually for all users.
Renren has also copied Pinterest in the past.
Readers: Do you think Renren users will rebel against the changes the way many Facebook users have timeline?

The HR Specialist Forum
We're hiring again, but have been swamped with applications from unqualified people. We would like to set up a bonus program that pays employees who bring us good candidates that we ultimately hire. What's the right amount to pay for employee referrals? How should we structure the program?—Steve, N.C.
We just interviewed a candidate who would be a great addition to our call center staff. He has the experience, and most important, seems to have the personality for the job. Only one problem: He has one of those piercings next to his eyebrow. I don't care, and his potential supervisor doesn't care, but I'm pretty sure our president will not like it one bit. He's pretty conservative, and so is our company generally. My question is, who should I talk to about this—the guy we want to hire (tell him to lose the eyebrow thing) or the president (tell him to loosen up)?—Diedre, Neb.
We have a policy that requires all requests for employment references to go through HR; responses are limited to essential information. Managers are allowed to give personal references as long as they are not speaking as a representative of the organization. Lately managers have been asked to "recommend" staff on business-related social networking sites like LinkedIn. Since they are identified as managers of our organization on LinkedIn, wouldn't that be a violation of our policy? We are split on this question, and I am wondering how other organizations handle this issue. — Peggie, Oakland
As part of my new job, I was told that I would be responsible for handing out payroll checks to the entire staff—hundreds of employees! Some of them are live checks, too. (Why people don't direct deposit is beyond me.) The result is that I'm spending a good chunk of every other Friday tracking down people, leaving notes on their desks, sending e-mails and so forth, all so they can get their pay envelopes. Is it normal for HR to pass out checks? Shouldn't someone from accounting be handling this?—R, Cali
Our employees are by far the "gossipiest" group I have ever worked with. Rumors fly around the shop floor and office at lightning speed. These people dish the dirt on each other, and they're always "learning" that we've just lost a big customer or we're going to cut hours or someone is about to get fired. Of course, most of these rumors are untrue. I try to put out the fires as fast as possible, but I'm wondering if there's a better overall way to put an end to this weird culture. Has anyone else faced this problem? Any advice on what I can do so gossip isn't such a distraction?—Pete, Bay Area
A new year, new beginnings and ... just maybe ... some new ways of doing things! Did you make any work-related resolutions for 2011? Any HR habits you're trying to quit--or hoping to start? (Around here, we're resolving to give HR Weekly readers a more robust way to interact with our information.) What's your resolution?—The HR Specialist editors
I've been tasked with resetting our employee pay bands, so they are appropriate for all categories of positions within our workforce. I'm not sure where to begin. Does anyone have any guidelines they use to set employee salaries and raises?—Tara, New York
Bless their hearts, several employees are raising money for charitable causes this holiday season. However, they are soliciting contributions from co-workers during working hours. This has become disruptive, and a few employees have complained to HR. It's probably too late to do anything this year, but I would like to develop a policy regulating charitable activities at work. What should such a policy cover? Does anyone have sample policy language I can adapt? Thanks.—Dan, Illinois
I'm new to HR and feeling a little overwhelmed. Between administrative stuff, legal compliance, benefits, performance management and all the other aspects of the job, I'm having a hard time prioritizing. Can experienced HR people suggest any tips, tools or resources to help me keep track of what needs to be done and what I need to focus on first?—J.A., Florida
Our front-desk receptionist is a gem. She very capably handles all her duties and presents a very favorable "public face" for the company … except for one thing. She is prone to religious proselytizing, not just with people who work here, but occasionally with visitors, too. Sometimes, it's just, "Have a blessed day." But other times, she'll roll out a whole Bible verse to suit whatever mood she is in. I have received a few complaints about this, but everyone is quite shy about making it a big deal since she is otherwise so great. How can I tell her to tone it down without offending her? Can we get in legal trouble by asking her to stop preaching?—Krista, S.C.
