How to Avoid the Orange Peel Look
- Question:
I applied a two-component high-solids epoxy sealer to a concrete floor, putting down the first coat in December and the second coat two months later. Prior to applying the second coat, I sanded the floor and wiped it with xylene. I used a squeegee to apply the sealer, then rolled it with an epoxy roller with a 1/8-inch nap thickness. Then I rolled over it with a spike roller. The sealer did not lay out smoothly, and is very uneven and rough. What went wrong, and how do I fix it?
- Answer:
This is a classic case of "fish eyeing" or "orange peel," two different terms that describe the same issue. It's caused when the second coat of sealer fails to "wet out" or become one with the first sealer coat. This can be due to chemical or dirt contamination or because the surface is just too hard and smooth to accept the new coat of sealer. By wiping the floor with xylene, you may have left behind a chemical residue. Or maybe you didn't sand the surface enough prior to applying the second coat of sealer. How did you sand, and with what grit of sandpaper or screening? When sanding, you have to micro-scratch the surface enough to reduce the surface tension that can prohibit the second coat from adhering to the first coat. The two sealer coats look like they are repelling each other, which can occur with high-solids coatings if the first coat is not prepared properly.

Hardware Hacking Training
Grand Idea Studio's Hardware Hacking Training, taught exclusively by Joe Grand, focuses on hardware hacking and reverse engineering techniques commonly used against electronic products and embedded systems. It is a combination of lecture and hands-on exercises, culminating with students attempting to defeat the security of a custom circuit board. No prior electronics experience is required. [ continue ]
Tools of the Hardware Hacking Trade
Our reliance on embedded systems, such as consumer wearables, mobile phones, medical devices, network infrastructure, and industrial control equipment, has become an inescapable fact of life. We need to seriously assess the security of such products, and understanding what tools are available for the job is a good place to start. [ continue ]
PCB Deconstruction Techniques
Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs), used within nearly every electronic product in the world, are physical carriers for electronic components and provide conductive pathways between them. [ continue ]
On-chip debug (OCD) interfaces can provide chip-level control of a target device and are a primary vector used by engineers, researchers, and hackers to extract program code or data, modify memory contents, or affect device operation on-the-fly. Depending on the complexity of the target device, manually locating available OCD connections can be a difficult and time consuming task, sometimes requiring physical destruction or modification of the device.

Evans lifts Kings over Wizards
Sacramento, CA (Sports Network) - Tyreke Evans' free throw with 11.9 seconds left lifted the Sacramento Kings past the Washington Wizards, 95-94, on Wednesday night at Sleep Train Arena.
With the game knotted up at 94-94, Evans drove across the lane from the right wing and was tripped by Nene, throwing up a wild shot to draw the foul. Evans then buried the first free throw before bricking the second and leaving the Wizards with a chance to win the game with just over 10 ticks remaining.
After corralling the miss, Washington called a timeout to advance the ball past midcourt. The Wizards threw it in to Bradley Beal, who missed a jumper with 2.9 seconds left.
John Wall, however, grabbed the rebound and fired up a desperation shot that drew iron as time expired and the Kings held on for their second consecutive win.
Evans, DeMarcus Cousins and John Salmons each scored 21 points in the win. Cousins also had 16 rebounds, five assists and three steals.
Beal led all scorers with a career-high 26 points while setting a Wizards rookie record for 3-pointers made in a game by going 6-for-7 from beyond the arc.
Kevin Seraphin added 14 points and 10 rebounds, and Nene finished with 15 points, nine boards and six assists for the Wizards, who had a season-high three-game winning streak snapped.

Asked by eluvi-deactivated20120629
Huffle Badger has to admit that the other houses are at a slight disadvantage when it comes to not giving a shit and minding their own business: Hufflepuffs have been doing this for ages. But for the rest of you Slythersnakes, Ravenbirds, and Gryffinlions, just confront it when you see it head-on. You don't have to make a big deal out of it…just say what you need to say and move the fuck on. Most likely, that person will be embarrassed and will take a moment to think about how shitty they were behaving.
"Perpetuating house stereotypes is pretty stupid of you, Ravenbird. I thought you were supposed to be smarter than that?"
"Shit, Gryffinlion — I thought you'd have the courage to stand up for what's right and not just go along with the house hate…"
"Slythersnake, don't you have other ambitions? Because the ambition to look like a total asshat doesn't suit you very well. STFU with the house hate."
Just let them know you won't tolerate the house hate.

The city of Sedona has an opportunity to be the first to address affordable housing, but with a $925,000 price tag, Sedona City Council doesn't want to jump in too soon.
Larson Newspapers
The city of Sedona has an opportunity to be the first to address affordable housing, but with a $925,000 price tag, Sedona City Council doesn't want to jump in too soon.
Council voted 6-1 Wednesday, Nov. 14, to extend the option period for an eight-unit apartment building on 0.91 acres at 165 Sombart Lane to Thursday, Nov. 29. The original deadline was Thursday, Nov. 15.
Vice Mayor Jerry Frey voted against the motion and said he does not support purchasing this particular property.
If purchased, the city plans to use the property and possibly the existing units for affordable housing.
Before council commits to $914,000 — $22,000 would be deducted from the price for back sewer fees — some members want more information.
"There are a lot of unanswered questions right now," Mayor Pud Colquitt said. "I've got to have these questions answered."
In the next two weeks, city staff will evaluate the building to determine if any environmental issues need to be addressed, according to City Manager Eric Levitt.
Colquitt said she'd love for the city to be able to provide affordable housing but it's not that simple.
"My big issue is going to be can we afford it," Colquitt said.
Frey said $914,000 is too much money.
"If we knocked off $100,000, I'd be happy to purchase the site," Frey said. "We're talking about an old building."
Frey said he supports addressing affordable housing but purchasing this property isn't the way to go about it.
The building, according to Frey, was built in 1976, lending it to a slew of concerns regarding building materials and plumbing. Frey doesn't feel the structure and property are worth almost $1 million.
"The building is basically a tear-down," Frey said.
Colquitt said whether the building would be refurbished or torn down is among unanswered questions.
Money is an issue Colquitt said that is also giving her reservations.
"This is the city's money and we're trying to be as frugal as possible," Colquitt said. Council needs to consider if this is something it should be doing now.
Frey said he also doesn't think council or the city has had enough time to think about the deal.
"I feel uncomfortable with how we're getting rushed into it," Frey said. He wants time to look at the quality of the building and negotiate the price.
Displacement of residents currently living in some of the units also concerns both Colquitt and Frey.
According to Levitt, some of the units are occupied and the city doesn't know if the current tenants meet affordable housing eligibility standards.
The city doesn't want to kick tenants out but it's too early to tell what would be done, Levitt said.
If the property is purchased, council's decision on what to do with the building could also affect current tenants.
Council continues discussion on whether to purchase the site Tuesday, Nov. 27.

Handy Keychain Tools
A pocketknife is the most expensive, least effective screwdriver you'll ever use. To curb your temptation, the Gerber Shard has a Philips screwdriver, a couple of flathead screwdrivers, and a pry bar. Oh, and a bottle opener, if you're into that.
Price: About $8
02] Cobra Tag
Cobra Electronics
The Cobra Tag keychain works with your Android or Blackberry smartphone (iPhone version coming soon) to locate your keys and vice versa. Use the free app on your phone to make the tag ring, or tap the button on the Cobra Tag to make your phone ring.

03] Compact Thermometer
This Snap-on infrared compact thermometer has a temp range of -7 degrees to 248 degrees F. Simply point at target, pull the trigger, and read the display for the temp. Fits in your pocket, on your keychain. Part No. RTEMPB120.
Price: $53.95
There's an App for that
The Precise Caliper app has a nicely rendered and realistic caliper head, but it only opens as large as an iPhone screen, and unlike a real caliper, it can't measure in three dimensions. We wouldn't build an engine based on this, but it's surprisingly accurate. You can use it to impress people at parties by measuring the snack foods down to the millimeter.
03] Inchworm
TEC Accessories
The Inchworm is a 3-inch titanium rod with grooves milled every 1⁄4 inch. Use it at the hardware store to make sure you're getting the right-length fastener. Because of its size, it works well as a depth gauge.
04] Telepen
True Utility
This telescopic pen expands to fullsize, contains three refills, and costs less than what we'd pay for…who are we kidding? It just means we're stealing fewer pens from the supply closet at work.
Price: About $10
05] iAmaKey
With many late-model cars coming from the factory with USB drives, it makes sense to carry your music with you. This version holds 8 GB.
Price: $20
06] Nano Light
This tiny, 1⁄3-ounce keychain flashlight puts out 10 lumens from its single LED, and lasts eight hours.
Price: $6
07] Uncle Bill's Sliver Gripper
El Mar Inc.
If you do your own machining or grinding, it's only a matter of time before you embed a sharp bit of metal in your finger. Getting that stubborn shard out of your hand will be a lot easier and faster if you've already got a set of these tweezers in your pocket.
Price: $10

AtwoodKnives.com has cool, hand-made, small-batch pocket tools.
Gearhead Math Made Easy
Mr. Gasket Co.
Predict your car's e.t. at the dragstrip before leaving the house, quickly choose the right axle ratio, and figure out hundreds of life's other math conundrums using Mr. Gasket's Hot Rod Calc tool.

There's an App for That
Garage Buddy from Turtle Rock Studios (TurtleRockStudios.com/GarageBuddy) has calculators for finding gear ratios, tire size, carb cfm requirements, drill-bit sizes, and more. It's free at the App Store.
Cut Sheetmetal Fast
Makita Tools
We've never had any luck with budget air-powered metal shears. We always break 'em. The Makita tool goes through 18-gauge like butter and will also mow through stainless steel pretty easily. A 6.5-amp motor provides the power, and the cutting head rotates 360 degrees for contoured cuts.
Price: $259.69
Leatherman Surge
Leatherman Multi-tools
The Surge is one of Leatherman's biggest multitools and has the largest set of pliers, a pair of knife blades, a metal file, and a bit driver. All of the folding tools are lockable, and it comes with a blade exchanger so you can customize the tool to your liking.
Price: $90
Max Airflow Portable Compressor
ARB's twin-motor compressor has a 100 percent duty cycle and pumps out 6.16 cfm of compressed air. That's enough for quick tire inflation, and it even has enough power to run air tools, especially with a supplemental air tank.
Price: $750

Do one thing every day that scares you.
It's been a year chock full of racing… from a half marathon to celebrate my 30th to my first duathalon this summer… It seems that I've spend the last year collecting some pretty cool hardware including an orange headband, a nom de plume relay baton, a pretty cool bottle opener, a drawer of t-shirts, a pint glass and something that glitters gold.
Somewhere between burning through lots of sneakers and having some of the most interesting adventures, I learned two things. The first is that no matter how many times I walk to the start line, I get butterflies. I still have a brief moment of, "wait, can I make it?" full well knowing that the first mile is always a battle with myself more than anything else. The second is that I'm pretty busy.
This weekend I embark on my last race for 2011. One last run through the woods… one last attempt at winning a pint glass… one last escapade with my friends… one final proof of how far I've come: how many miles I've logged, how many weights I've lifted, how many hills I've climbed, how many circles I've made around a track. This weekend we head to Hemlock Overlook for the last race of the BYB Fall Series. Welcome Fearless Friday. Good to see you again.
2 notes &
This year, I'll be spending Thanksgiving in Virginia, crammed into my small 1-bedroom apartment, for the first time, with my family, meaning that our tradition of the Webster Turkey Trot will end… but between the farm fresh turkey and dinner on served on a coffee table… a new one might begin.
Over the past year I'm thankful to have had to opportunity to share my adventures, personal wins and search for finding fit. It's crazy to think of how far I've come… as I reflect, I find that I am most thankful for three things:
My family, who puts up with my antics, usually makes me laugh til I cry and loves me unconditionally. From attending races to signing me up to run in Rochester, they understand where I started this journey and in knowing the full story, they are my biggest champions. Not only do they smile at my successes, but they also pick me up when I feel like I'm at my lowest. I am grateful for each moment that I get to share with them, and after my mom's transplant, truly appreciate them for who they are and what they mean to me.
My heath. Looking back, I'd never imaged I'd be here at 30… cracking open a sort of Pandora's box. Re-thinking food and fitness, peeking inside myself and finding the power to achieve things that I never thought imaginable… If you'd asked my 20-something self where I'd be now, I'd never have thought I'd land in a hot yoga studio once a week, or have the ability to squat more than my own body weight. I'd never have imagined that between logging miles and soul searching under the stars, I'd define myself. I am thankful that over the past year, I've in some way, maybe inspired others by sharing in the voyage, but in a selfish way, I'm most thankful for the journey I've taken, because the path to getting here, has been the sweetest personal reward.
Lastly, I am honored and thankful to be surrounded by amazing people. People who run with me. People who laugh with (or at) me. People who also appreciated strong IPAs, SJFs from Lyon Hall, or introduce me to the wonder of Vodka sodas. People who tolerate or maybe even appreciate my sometimes off the wall beliefs. People who somehow drag me into crazy antics like Ragnar or Roller Derby or Mud Running. People who force me to step out of my comfort zone and encourage me to be the best me that I can be. People who I know would come to my rescue without question, at a moment's notice, in the middle of the night, in the rain. Without each of you, life wouldn't be full of so many great adventures!
This holiday weekend, I wish each and every person the best. May the healthiest and tastiest of foods dress your table… and whether you Crossfit your heart out to a long ass WOD on Thursday, or turkey trot across America, I hope that you are surrounded by the things that give you strength and happiness. Big or small, we each have so much to be thankful for this year.
I pulled up the sleeve of my sweater at work and caught the remnants of number 9979. The permanent marker outline was faded, but still there. I swear I've tried to scrub it off in the shower, but in some ways it's my reminder of the epic Tough Mudder weekend and holding onto it is a sort of badge of honor. Just like my Ragnar tattoo a few weeks back, it's funny to see it juxtaposed against my business black. Out of place perhaps, but to me a hidden reminder of my other weekend life. Honestly, if it weren't for it, or the bruises on my underarms and shins, the race feels like a distant memory faded into the florescent sun and conference calls. Much like my other weekend adventures, this was one that not many people would understand. A Sunday race through the woods, perhaps… but a diving into a dumpster of ice? climbing a black diamond? paying to get shocked? The questions would be too many to answer. Yes, I am crazy and yes, I do this for fun.
I've done mud runs before, so I must admit the thought of falling into an icy lake in October while attempting monkey bars wasn't super appealing at first – buuutttt turning down a hardcore 10-12 mile obstacle course? Me? Wasn't going to happen. I've likened my willingness to get talked into races to how others get talked into drugs or drinking… the game plan is simple. Lay the peer pressure on thick, make it sound like a fun adventure, and usually… I fold. This course, designed by British Special Forces to test all around strength, stamina, mental grit, and camaraderie, included 10+ miles and 25 obstacles. Trust me, it lived up to its promise.
The setting was perfect! Beautiful fall day in the mountains… changing leaves… brisk mountain air… limited cell phone service. In expectation of rocks and mud, I'd picked to don running tights and tight long sleeves. After a winding bus ride from the overflow parking field, we were consumed by a crowd of costumes and bare chested men with smatterings of body paint. Upon receiving my registration information, I was asked to pull up my hair and my race number was tattooed to my forehead in permanent marker, then my arm… oh it was going to be one of those types of races!! We met our team, "Health and Wholeness" to shake out a few last minute jitters (aka performance pees) and apply our war stripes. We split into groups of four – mine, which we appropriately named "Team Awesome" during the race, included Dan, TJ, Melina and myself. Since a 4 hour blow-by-blow would take pages… I've consolidated my race report into bullets. Here goes:
With our headbands on, we each got a beer as we passed through the finish. Some people got tattoos, others peeled off layers of wet clothes in exchange for a t-shirt… I eventually called my mom, and blurted out, "well, we're alive." Somewhere between trying to explain the ice bath and the 12ft walls, I realized that as much as it was a rough race, something about it was super awesome. The toughest event on the planet? Debatable, but definitely one for the record books. Each of us that forged our way to the finish were officially Tough Mudders and those of us that survived have a common bond – a secret hand-shake if you will, maybe a nod, an understanding of the battle it took to get there.
For me, the joy in racing is pushing myself to a new place, stepping out of my comfort zone. On the ride home I realized a few things:
Exhausted, muddy and cold, we finally made it back home. For now, I'll settle for rocking my orange headband. But I can't imagine that Mudder 2012 will take too much convincing.
1 note &
Do one thing every day that scares you.
It's been a week of early mornings and two-a-day workouts: power yoga, 4 crazy CrossFit sessions, hockey games, a mud run, a run/mt. bike through the woods… operation "Shock and Awe" has been fully waged on my body.
The objective: push past the plateau and recharge my motivation. The results: within the week, I feel leaner, meaner and more energized than normal.
I think I've done enough fearless behavior for 7 days… the true test, keep the battle waging. Time to bring in the reinforcements!

From Born To Run:
The race isn't so much to beat each other… but to be with each other.
This weekend, between swimming across a deep pond, slithering through mud under barbed wire and jumping over fire… I remembered that races didn't always have to be about racing; instead, they can be about spending a Saturday morning with a friend. (Thank you Amanda!)
Lessons learned while rebelling:

Do one thing every day that scares you.
Sometimes I have and intense urge to tackle insane obstacles… so this weekend I plan to venture to the backwoods of Frederick, Maryland to unleash my inner Rebel. Up to 5 miles filled with 22 barricade-climbing, mud-crawling, rope-swinging and fire-jumping obstacles that give me the opportunity to, you gussed it, flirt with danger as well as challange my test physical toughness and mental endurance.
Then, post shower… I'll taste It, sip it, and pork it at the Beer, Burbon and BBQ Festival. Who writes about Beer, Bourbon and BBQ on a fitness blog? I DO!
Between earning Rebel bragging rights and going hog wild… it proves to be a fearless weekend for sure!

You're one step closer to paradise...
One of the regular questions I receive from visitors to Hawai'i is this, "Are there sharks in the ocean?"
After almost 10 years of living here, I am still stumped as how to answer this question. It's not that I do not know the answer. As a SCUBA diver, I know the answer well, even up close and personal. My hesitation before answering the question more results from trying to gauge my questioner. Is my questioner just being hopeful? Or is my questioner that petrified of sharks that my answer will preclude them from getting in the water?
Of course, there are sharks in the ocean. In Hawai'i, grey reef sharks, Galapagos sharks, hammerhead sharks, whitetip reef sharks and tiger sharks all ply our waters. That's not to say you will ever see them. But you may.
Next week, Discovery Channels' perennial favorite "Shark Week" begins. If the above PSA is any indication of the focus this year's program will take, the next person to ask me, "Are there sharks in the ocean," may really be concerned that there aren't. We should all be concerned that there are fewer sharks in our oceans.
During my 10 years of living, swimming, paddling, snorkeling and diving in Hawai'i, I have seen many reef sharks. I have not come face to face with a tiger--except at Maui Ocean Center. Although I am told that one time when I was paddling a canoe from the island of Moloka'i to O'ahu that a large tiger shark circled our boat....
The shark fear frenzy that occupies many people's minds elsewhere in the world is not so prevalent here in Hawai'i. That may be because of the Hawaiian culture; Hawaiian people have a long and storied history with sharks. What follows is an article that I wrote numerous years ago about it for Hawai'i Magazine.
A Shark's Talepublished by Hawaii magazine
See that shark! He's a big one! What do you suppose he wants?"
— told by Mary Kawena PukuiHawaii Island Legends: Pikoi, Pele andOthers (Kamehameha Schools Press, 1996)
Those could have been my very words if it wasn't for the scuba regulator in my mouth. Only there wasn't just one shark; there were 19.
Apparently, Hedlund — a lanky lad who a shark would never mistake for a tasty, fat seal — wasn't lying; when I dove into the 750,000-gallon aquarium at the Maui Ocean Center to swim with the sharks, I was completely ignored. Ignored by the five-foot white-tip shark; the eight sandbar sharks, which were up to seven feet in length; the five gray reef sharks; four smallish black-tip reef sharks of the four-to five-foot variety; and the aforementioned tiger shark, the most feared shark in all of Hawaii. They just kept circling.Instead, a spotted eagle ray swam up to me and demanded that I pet her belly. Part of me felt like I was still in the 54-foot acrylic tunnel that bisects the aquarium, which I had toured before becoming a part of the exhibit. It's nice and safe in there, like watching an IMAX film. It wasn't until I was back on land peeling off my wetsuit that I realized I'd forgotten something on my dive: fear.
The next week these men again paddled from Kohala to Kona with paiai, the dry, pounded kalo from which poi is made. Again the shark followed and again swam toward the shore pushing before him the small ; bundle thrown to him. This happened many times.Then one day Aukai said, "I mean to find out about that shark. You paddle toward Kona with the food and throw a bundle to the shark as you always do. I shall follow in a small canoe and see if I can learn what the shark does with the bundle."
ANCESTORS AMONG USWhen the first Polynesians arrived in double-hulled canoes on the shores of Hawaii, it's said that a huge shark led them. That may explain the unique relationship that Hawaiians have with sharks and the preponderance of shark legend and lore.The ancient Hawaiian attitude toward sharks and all nature can be summed up in one word: respect. It might derive from a concept of "ancestral gods" known as aumakua. Along with sharks, io (hawks), honu (turtles), eels, mice and rats, caterpillars, pueo (owls), kohala (whales), other birds and even rocks and clouds, are aumakua.
Aukai saw the men throw the bundle of food and watched the shark swim with it to a Kona beach. Then a strange thing happened, Aukai saw an old man come down the beach, leaning on a stick. Aukai watched as the old man picked up the bundle.
Two years ago, after 13-year-old surfer Bethany Hamilton lost her arm to a shark attack off the shores of Kauai, a large tiger shark haunted a popular, nearby surf spot prompting two local fishermen to hunt and kill it. Responses appeared immediately on the editorial pages of the local newspaper, one from a Hawaiian woman who was concerned that someone's aumakua had been killed.
And so he did. For many months the shark was given a big bundle of paiai whenever they went to Kona, and the bundle was dropped for him close to the beach where the old couple lived.

Is there some workaround for it? I have full access to both top and iframe document, so can add any javascript to both.

Nothing Cheap About It: Cheap Sally's Top Amazing Hotel and Spa Destinations
December 12, 2011
By: Christopher Roney
It's not every day that an infographic so awesome comes around. Over at Cheap Sally, an online discount site, their travel experts have aggregated a list of some of the wildest hotel and vacation sites in the US, and it features some of our favorite US properties. For the whole list, check out the infographic below, but I'd like to highlight some of our favorites.
Long at the top of our list of the Best Luxury All-Inclusive Resorts in the world, The Point at Saranac Lake, NY, is so exclusive, you aren't told where exactly on the pristine Adirondack lake it is until you've confirmed your reservation.

Bazaar-o World: Extraordinary SLS Hotel/José Andrés Restaurant Is Going Global
October 19, 2011
By: Christopher Roney
Being a Washington, DC, local, I can't help but fall in love with the cuisine of José Andrés, the James Beard Award-winning chef and restaurateur. He has pioneered the field of molecular gastronomy by cleverly manipulating texture to subvert our expectations. For instance, at his signature DC restaurant, Minibar, instead of a salt-lined margarita glass, you can expect an aerated salty sea-foam floating above your drink. His visionary view of food's potential to surprise and entice has inspired a new direction in the culinary arts.
So when I heard that his SLS Hotel restaurant in Los Angeles, the Bazaar, is thinking of going global with its brand, I practically jumped out of my chair in anticipation. José Andrés is already slated to open another establishment at the upcoming SLS Hotel in South Beach, Florida, and Robbie McKay, Director of Communications for SBE, the luxury hospitality group who owns the Bazaar, says that they have their eye on the DC market as a possible next location. Keep an eye out on this one folks. This is a hotel restaurant that is far more than the standard luxury fare.
For now, you can only dine at the Bazaar at the SLS Hotel at Beverly Hills. It's well worth the trip.

Japan's ANA to end joint budget airline venture with AirAsia
TOKYO (Reuters) – Japanese airline ANA Holdings said Tuesday it will end a joint budget airline venture with AirAsia BHD . Started in August 2011, the joint low cost carrier failed to win over Japanese travelers, which ANA has blamed the lackluster performance on poor marketing and a difficult to navigate booking website. ANA said it will continue to operate the budget carrier as a wholly owned subsidiary. Air Asia and ANA executives had been unable to find common ground on cost management and other issues.

Libya Uses World's First Mobile Voter Registration System for Parliament Elections
BY Rebecca Chao | Wednesday, June 25 2014
In just six months, a small staff of 20 people using open source tools, built a complex, first-of-its-kind mobile registration system in Libya, a transitioning country beset with violence. Today, Libyans will vote for a new parliament and 1.5 million citizens have registered. Since the fall of Libya's long-ruling dictator, Muammar Gaddafi in 2011, the violence and tribal clashes that plague the country have overshadowed the work of a new government straining to rebuild it through innovation and openness.

Mexican Telecoms Law Delayed, For Now
BY Jessica McKenzie | Tuesday, June 24 2014
A vote on Mexico's unpopular telecommunications legislation—which had been scheduled to coincide with the World Cup—has been put on ice until July, Libre Internet Para Todos (Free Internet for All) told Global Voices, although GV adds that the law still could be "fast tracked" through the process. In response to criticism and widespread protests in April, Mexico's governing party promised to make changes before passing the law. However, Access reports that any changes have been merely "cosmetic" and "almost all the threats to digital rights remain."Read More

The Simplest Step Ethiopians Can Take to Protect Themselves From Excessive Gov't Surveillance
BY Jessica McKenzie | Friday, June 20 2014
The Ethiopian government has at their disposal a formidable collection of surveillance technologies, and can intrusively monitor writers and activists at home and abroad. In late April the government arrested six independent bloggers and a journalist. More than 50 days later they are still being held in custody, and yet no formal charges have been filed. In March Human Rights Watch published a lengthy and detailed report warning that surveillance in Ethiopia could get even worse if the government gains the human capacity necessary to fully leverage the available technologies.Read More
How the White House's We the People E-Petition Site Became a Virtual Ghost-Town
BY Dave Karpf | Friday, June 20 2014
The White House once boasted that 5.4 million people have created We The People accounts, resulting in 9.2 million signatures. But the statistic only shows that there are less than 2 signatures per person, which means that the average user is signing a single petition and then never returning again. David Karpf explains how and why the White House's e-petition site has failed to take off. Read More

Who's Behind Russia's "WikiLeaks"?
BY Jessica McKenzie | Thursday, June 19 2014
Representatives of a "mysterious Russian hacker collective" known as "Anonymous International" or "Shaltay Boltay" (Humpty-Dumpty) have denied being hackers. They have told the press that they do very little technical hacking. Mostly they leak things: government memos, email exchanges, and insider reports.Read More

I heard that Richmond wanted Johnny Cochran but settled for "DoWee,Cheatem;Howell
I think former GI drivers should be grateful Estes gives them a penny more per mile and $2 more on hooks. They don't need to pay any one of us nothing for hooks or overtime after any amount of hours. The only thing the after 55 gave us was more employees and less hours, expecially during the winter. ya all are caught up in this thing called working rights for the working man. Nobody gives a flying **** about any right or what a non educated dumb @55 truck driver thinks he's entitled to. This is a rich persons country and none of us are a rich man, mostly because of laziness or too scared to take a chance. The rest are just happy to make a living enjoying the stress free part of living. I'm amazed by the number of employees that actually think the company owes them something after they begged them for a job. If GI was still in buisness they would have probably lost a lot more after 2008 than Rob took from them
I heard that Richmond wanted Johnny Cochran but settled for "DoWee,Cheatem;Howell
Oh sh-t. Rob you are not allowed on this site posing as a drive. You gave your self away with this last post. A rich persons country. And you don't believe in workers rights???????? What the **** . I am glad you dont need worker rights. With all your money. and if this is not rob. you must have a great pair a nee-pads.
Estes could be this ignorant. Are they not aware of state labor laws that govern their operations? This happened some time ago. I know there was talk of a class action back then, but I thought the guy moved on and licked his wounds. But evidently he has reconsidered. To be fare to master Rob, I have to give this disclaimer. I don't know if any of this is factual.Just passing on second hand information. Or do I? TE out.....
And another thing I would like to address. One of my former, favorite, terminal managers thinks that it is permissable to show an intimidating presence while his employees are being interrogated by paralegals. I suggest you reconsider this pathetic tactic. TE out...
Estes became real penny pinchers on the houly employees and the dispatchers get the heat when a driver has wasted too much time. This company pampers the linehaul drivers and linehaulers know better not to collect any kind of compensation for the hours waiting on the bench, any time, any where. If they clock in, they may as well clean out their trucks and turn in all of their . They may be entiled to unemployment benies but I doubt they will see any.
Hey T.E. Is it who I think it is????? And how have you been? Haven't talked to you for a while. Hope all is well at your end. Give me a call next week. If i am awake my phone is on . When I am asleep it's off. Doing the portland run now. Call R.S. lately? the delay pay we are getting is huge. I'm laughing all the way to the bank.
