It is a classic tale of David vs. Goliath, where a hardy band of activists and everyday citizens opposed efforts by Big Oil to transport hundreds of proposed shipments of equipment the size of submarines along some of the most scenic stretches of highway in Idaho and Montana — a story told well by author Steve Bunk in an upcoming release from New West Books, Goliath Staggered: How the People of Highway 12 Conquered Big Oil.The so-called “megaloads” controversy mesmerized citizens of the Northwest states from 2010 to 2013. Before the XL Pipeline debate came to public attention, several of the world’s biggest oil companies were determined to ship hundreds of gigantic loads of mining equipment to the tar sands of Canada via wild lands in northern Idaho that were protected by federal law from such industrial traffic. Big Oil had politicians in its pocket, but grassroots opposition arose, and after three years of confrontations in meeting rooms, the media, the streets and the courts, the citizens won.
In Goliath Staggered: How the People of Highway 12 Conquered Big Oil, Idaho writer Steve Bunk chronicles this successful grassroots campaign. In so doing, he presents a template for how everyday people, sufficiently motivated and brilliantly led, can protect their environment against seemingly insurmountable forces.
The book follows the exploits of Linwood Laughy and Karen “Borg” Hendrickson. In late-middle age, this couple became alarmed by the prospect of what Borg dubbed the “megaloads,” and fostered a resistance movement that captured regional, national, and even international attention. Their efforts were mirrored by a grassroots campaign centered in Missoula, Mont., whose origins and development also are depicted in Goliath Staggered.
Goliath Staggered recounts a drama that unfolded week by week over the years, including relentless sleuthing by citizen activists, the discovery of collusion between politicians and businessmen, broken laws, media revelations, disinformation campaigns, nonviolent protests, shipping accidents on the road, and legal battles in Idaho and Montana that pitted the people against the massed forces of government and big industry.
“This is a major contribution to conservation literature, and tonic for anyone who needs reminding that in America, against all odds, caring people still make a difference,” says Rick Johnson, executive director of the Idaho Conservation League.
Bill McKibben, founder of 350.org, the international movement to combat climate change and the leading opponent of the proposed XL Pipeline, calls Goliath Staggered “an inspiring story of resistance and nonviolent power.”
Michael Brune, executive director of the Sierra Club, adds that “Steve Bunk’s deft reporting captures the creative, chaotic energy of a true grassroots campaign.”

A Nice Cover For A Decent Price.
I like this product because it protects the remote and makes it easier to keep track of it. I’d recommend buying it if you have kids or think the remote is too fragile feeling.
Note: you only get one cover, not three like the picture seems to suggest.

Soft. Flexible. Easy to grab.
Pros: Soft. Durable. Fits.
Cons: String durability.
This silicone material is soft to the touch and feels great. It is very flexible as well and I expect it to last a long time.
The design doesn’t interfere with the touchpad at all when trying to navigate and fast forward or fast reverse.
There are top and bottom bumps with extra material that create this gap underneath. It’s such a minor detail but makes grabbing the remote so easy versus having it completely flat. There are cut outs for charging port, IR, Apple logo, and what I think is the microphone.
It comes with a sling that gets attached to the cover. It’s an ok sling as over time it did fall apart for me. Granted we don’t really use the string much. You can hang it with the accessory it came with though. We just toss it around.
Overall, this is a great case for your remote.

Looks like a new remote
Needed something to cover and also protect the remote after dropping it so many times that it was chipped around edge. This looks great and the remote is easier to find and looks like brand new.

Perfect Fit!
This silicone fits like a glove and keeps that slippery and fragile Apple remote from slipping right out of your hands. Great value and well made product!
