UPDATED 5:05 p.m. Jan. 16: Workers have started flowing fuel from a Russian tanker vessel to the town of Nome, signalling the beginning of the end of what has been an unusual mission in Western Alaska.
Hoses running from the Russian tanker Rende to the shores of Nome started pumping fuel just as the sun was setting at 4:52 p.m.
At the beginning of the fueling operation, workers will be staged at every connector along the line to ensure there are no problems. Later, a two-man relay team will walk the line every 30 minutes until the transfer is complete. The fuel transfer will take an estimated 36 to 48 hours.
Original story: Two hoses are stretched 700 yards from ship to shore in Nome, Alaska, waiting to pump about 1.4 million gallons of eagerly-awaited fuel to the remote city on the state's western coast. By 2:30 p.m. Monday, the operation was in its final stages of preparation.
Pressurized air tests were being conducted on the lines, looking for possible leaks. If everything checks out, fuel aboard the Russian-flagged, Arctic-class tanker Renda could begin flowing into Nome before nightfall.
"Two parallel hoses are stretched out over 700 yards each, from the ship to the marine header, where the hose is hooked up to the pipeline that runs directly to the customers' tanks," said Stacey Smith, a project manager with Vitus Marine, the company that commissioned the Renda to transport the load to Nome.
The unusual delivery is a first. Never before has a winter-time bulk fuel order been delivered via ship in Western Alaska. Seasonal ice traditionally chokes off marine shipping during the state's coldest, darkest months. The Renda had help -- a personal escort from an ice-breaking U.S. Coast Guard cutter.
A private fuel supplier in Nome, Sitnasuak Native Corp., arranged for the delivery on behalf of its subsidiary, Bonanza Fuel, when a previously expected shipment never showed up, turned back by a massive November storm.
"We are very hopeful that it will be before dark tonight," Smith said, referring to the time fuel starts moving through the hoses.
If the fuel transfer hasn't begun by nightfall, it must wait until Tuesday. That's because the special permit for the one-time delivery requires that the initial connections and pumping begin during the day. Once it starts, pumping can take place around the clock.
Two employees of Bonanza Fuel will have an only-in-Alaska job during the transfer -- walking the entire length of the hoses every 30 minutes in alternating shifts to watch for leaks.

Description (OCR text may contain errors)
United States Patent No Drawing. Filed Apr. 21, 1964, Ser. No. 361,575 Claims. (Cl. 260-836) This invention relates to polymeric compositions comprising methyl methacrylate, ethyl acrylate and glycidyl methacrylate and to blends of the polyvinyl chloride resins with these polymers.
In the manufacture of rigid polyvinyl chloride it is essential that theresin go through a fluxing step after which the resin is processed to the desired shape. During processing the resin must yield under stress, have adequate flow properties and lend itself to milling and extrusion. It must also remain stable at the processing and fluxing temperatures. Since polyvinyl chloride alone does not possess these properties, it has been necessary to add various processing aids to the resin. Conventional processing aids have" been inadequate to satisfy all the processing requirements of polyvinyl chloride. Some processing aids are cross-linked and insoluble in the polyvinyl chloride, others are not adequately compatible under condtions of use of the polyvinyl chloride and generally all polyvinyl chloride processing aids have sharply detracted from the performance properties of the rigid polyvinyl chloride. In particular, they generally detract from the polyvinyl chlorides resistance to distortion under high temperature. The processing aids of the invention are non-crosslinked copolymers; they are solvent-soluble, such as in toluene. Also, they are characterized by the fact that at least 85%, especially at least 90%, of the theoretical epoxy group, is intact in the polymer. The polymer is compatible with the polyvinyl chloride and capable of forming smooth sheets. It also imparts to the polyvinyl chloride the requisite thermal stability.
The copolymers of this invention comprise three main monomeric ingredients that are copolymerized into a noncrosslinked copolymer. The monomers are methyl methacrylate, ethyl acrylate, and glycidyl methacrylate. Their respective proportion is in the range of 20 to 98.5; 0.5 to 40; and 1 to 40 percent by weight. The preferred ranges are 45 to 90; 5 to 35; and 5 to 20 percent by weight. The molecular weight of the polymers ranges from 150,000 to 2,000,000, of which the range of 300,000 to 1,500,000 is preferred.
The ratio of methyl methacrylate and glycidyl methacrylate to ethyl acrylate is from 60-40 to 99.5 to 0.5. A characteristic which suits the polymer for certain applications particular well is its particle size. It is advantageous that no more than 30% of the copolymer be retained on a ZOO-mesh screen. For certain applications like hot roll calendering and extrusion application it is desirable that no more than of the copolymer be retained on a l00-mesh screen.
In physical appearance the copolymer is of particulated granulated particles that are uneven and solid (not hollow). Another type polymer that is especially well suited for certain applications is made of particles that are hollow and spheroidally shaped. The viscosity of the copolymer is A to Z10 on the Gardner-Holdt scale (a 10% solution in toluene), the preference being D to Z2.
The copolymers of the invention may be made by a variety of methods. One suitable method is by bulk polymerization of the monomeric ingredients. In accordance with that process a suitable amount of monomers is mixed "ice with an addition polymerization catalyst, such as azobisisobutyronitrile, at a temperature sufficient to cause polymerization such as in the range of 25-100 C. or higher. Another suitable method for making the copolymer of the invention is by an aqueous dispersion method. In that procedure the necessary copolymerizable monomers are polymerized as an emulsion in the presence of a suitable emulsifying agent such as sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate, and the resulting polymer is recovered by a suitable method.
The polyvinyl chloride compositions of the invention comprise the copolymer in amounts sufficient to give satisfactory processing aid. Generally, this amount is kept to a minimum, consistent with the benefits desired. In practice, an amount in the range of 0.5 to 10% by weight of the polyvinyl chloride is generally adequate, although sometimes it may be desirable to increase the amount of copolymer to amounts beyond 10%, such as 25% or more. Amounts smaller than 0.5% may also be employed when the benefits are adequate for the purposes intended.
By using the copolymer, there is formed a blend of a polyvinyl chloride which is an extrudable, millable, and workable plastic composition. A smooth, flexible polyvinyl chloride sheet is formed during processingby the use of the terpolymer which upon cooling gives a rigid polyvinyl chloride which is a homogeneous blend of the polyvinyl chloride and the terpolymer. This composition exhibits excellent thermal stability. It also has very good light stability. Moreover, the composition has retained an unusually high heat distortion temperature.
In the polyvinyl chloride compositions of the invention there may be used in addition to the copolymer additional conventional materials such as fillers, dyes, pigments and stabilizers. The copolymers may be the sole processing aid employed, but they may be used in conjunction with other conventional materials.
The examples which are provided below are merely illustrative of the invention. All parts are by' weight. The following abbreviations are used: MMA for methyl methacrylate, BA for ethyl acrylate, and GMA for gly-' cidyl methacrylate. I
' Example 1 In a 3-liter, 3-necked flask equipped with a stirrer and.
nitrogen inlet tube, a thermometer and a reflux condenser, there are charged the following: 8 parts of sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonte, 640 parts methyl methacrylate, 80 parts ethyl acrylate, 80 parts glycidyl meth-acrylate, and 1560 parts of water.
A slow stream of nitrogen is bubbled through the stirred emulsion. There is then added 8 parts of 34.9% hydrogen peroxide and 3.2 parts of sodium formaldehyde sulfoxolate dihydrate dissolved in 25 parts of water. The temperature of the reaction mixture rises from 23 to 76 C. As the reaction diminishes and the temperature decreases to 64 C. the reaction mixture is cooled with an ice bath. The pH of the emulsion at the end of the polymerization is adjusted from 2.9 to 8 by the addition of 1% sodium hydroxide.
The emulsion is then spray-dried to give 761 parts of a fine, white, free-flowing powder, of which goes through a 200 screen mesh. The particles in the powder have the appearance of minute, cracked eggshells; they are egg-shaped, hollow, and curved particles. The powder has a Gardner-Holdt viscosity (10% in toluene) of T-U and an oxirane content of 1.07. The copolymer has the following composition: MMA 80 parts/EA 1O parts/GMA 10 parts.
Example 2 Example 1 is repeated, changing the glycidyl methacrylate amount to 5 parts, the EA amounts to 10 parts,
and the MMA amounts to 85 parts. A terpolymer is obtained having MMA 85 parts/EA 10 parts/ and GMA 55 parts.
Example 3 Following the procedure of Example 1, the respective proportions of the copolymer are changed to give a terpolymer of the following composition: MMA 70 pa-rts/ EA 10 parts/GMA 20 parts.
Example 4 There are mixed with 0.4% of azobisisobutyronitrile 640 parts of MMA, 80 parts of EA, and 80 parts of GMA. The mix is polymerized in a suitable container until all the monomer has polymerized. The bulk polymer is then ground to a suitable particle size.
Example 5.Incrp0rati0n of stabilizing processing aid into polyvinyl chloride The following ingredients are dry-blended at loW speed in a Waring Blendor for two minutes: polyvinyl chloride, 90 parts; terpolymer processing aid, parts, and a barium cadmium stabilizer, 3 parts. After dry-blending, the samples are milled on a two-roll mill at 350 F. After 6 minutes 011 the mill, the processing properties are checked. They are reported below. The thermal stability of the sample is determined by placing samples (1" x /2" x 40 mils) in an oven at 350 F. and removing them at periodic intervals. Initial color, time to definite discoloration, and time to char are recorded in Table I.
TABLE I Processing aid MMA/EA/GMA Composition 80/10/10 Gardener-Holdt viscosity T-U Thermoplasti-city Good Release Excellent Rolling bank Good Processing time (to optimum in minutes) 1 /2 Hot strength Good Hours to definite discoloration Hours to char 5 It is evident that the terpolymer has excellent processing properties combined with excellent thermal stability properties. Its heat distortion temperature at 264 psi is 72 C. by the ASTM-D648-56 test.
The processing aids of this invention may he used in conjunction with a plasticized polyvinyl chloride composition in which there are incorporated such plasticizers as di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate, dioctylphthalate, various phosphonate plasticizers, polyesters, diesters, epoxy plasticizers such as epoxiclized soybean oil, and the like.
We claim:
1. An extrudaible, millable blend of particulated polyvinyl chloride and 05-25% by weight based on the weight of the polyvinyl chloride of a non-crosslinked copolymer comprising methyl methacrylate, ethyl acrylate, and glyci dyl methacrylate wherein the percentage by weight of methyl methacrylate, ethyl acrylate and glycidyl methacrylate is in the'range of 98.5 to 20, 0.5 to 40, and l to 40, respectively, and wherein at least of theoretical epoxy group is intact, and said copolymer having a molecular weight in the range of 150,000 to 2,000,000.

Department for Work and Pensions defends bedroom tax rules
The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has defended their decision to implement a bedroom tax, but acknowledge that there are circumstances where some tenants should be exempt.
They told ITV News London that councils do have a discretionary fund to give to people who are "vulnerable" which is usually people who need a spare bedroom for a carer to stay or to store medical equipment.
They advised Tania to apply to the council and see if she qualifies as "vulnerable".
– A DWP spokesperson
We are giving councils an extra £155m this year so that they can help their vulnerable tenants. It's only right that we bring fairness back to the system - when in England alone there are nearly 2 million households on the social housing waiting list and over a quarter of a million tenants are living in overcrowded homes.

ABC News'Yunji de Nies Reports: The First Lady visited the Department of Energy as part of her wider federal agency tour throughout the city. This visit was a little different than her dozen past visits, as today Mrs. Obama and Energy Secretary Steven Chu played game show host. "I'm like Alex Trebec and Secretary Chu is like my Vanna White," the First Lady joked, as she kicked off a practice round of the Science Bowl. The Energy Department has organized and sponsored the national student competition since 1991. Before challenging a group of middle school students on math, blood cells, and physics, Mrs. Obama had some kind works for the department's employees. She praised them for years of hard work and for continuing to get kids exciting about science. Mrs. Obama said it was up to the next generation to continue the Department's efforts and that being able to do so depends on a strong education in math and science. "We all know we can't transform our energy future, unless we transform our education system," she said, "Unless we ensure that every child in America gets a good education, particularly when it comes to math and science." She continued, "That's why we're challenging states to raise their standards. To modernize science labs, to upgrade their curricula, and to recruit and train qualified teachers who will make these subjects more alive, more interesting, more engaging."

New Book by American Poet Norbert Krapf is Released
In an effort to provide awareness and understanding of the effects of sexual abuse on children and to encourage preventative and protective actions, distinguished American poet Norbert Krapf today revealed in his 26th book published today that he was sexually abused as a child by a priest in his hometown of Jasper, IN during the 1950's. The book is titled Catholic Boy Blues: A Poet's Journal of Healing.
Krapf, 70, who resides in Indianapolis, IN, is a former Pulitzer Prize nominee for poetry (2002), Indiana Poet Laureate (2008-2010) and was a Professor of English at the C.W. Post Campus of Long Island University (1970-2004) where he was its Poet Laureate (2003-2007). Among his many awards, he was honored with the Lucille Medwick Memorial Award from the Poetry Society of America and was twice a Fulbright Professor of American Poetry.
Written in verse, Catholic Boy Blues is being released on April 3 to coincide with the dual April observances of National Child Abuse Prevention Month and the National Poetry Month. The book chronicles his abuse by a priest in his hometown and the lifelong effects it had on him, his family and loved ones. Krapf wrote the book in four voices: the boy he was, the man he became, the priest, and Mr. Blues, a mythic and choric counselor and mentor.
Commenting on his motivation for writing the book, Krapf remarked: "In a sense, I wrote the poems to heal myself, and by publishing them to also seek to help heal others. As a poet, I had an obligation to do that, help others heal, show others it could be done, even though it might not be easy. Just as individuals need to heal, so do communities. That includes the community where I was raised, the Community of Saints, the Catholic Church - and the community of all human beings."
Published by Greystone Publishing LLC, the book is published in both hard and soft covers and is available in major bookstores throughout the United States and in Europe as well as online at Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com.
(Ed. Note: Mr. Krapf is available for interviews, contact Bob Fisher at 805-496-5386 or firstname.lastname@example.com.)

IT) at Hollywood Park on Nov. 27, trainer Don Chatlos said Sunday."We got the soft turf question out of the way," said Chatlos after the Sultry Song colt won the Mile in his first-ever start on any surface other than firm turf. "He will stay in training next year. We'll probably use the same pattern of races as this year. I think the one turn at Belmont (in the 2005 Breeders' Cup Mile) will be to his advantage." Chatlos said he received an e-mail from Kim Singletary, wife of Mike Singletary, the pro football Hall of Famer and current assistant coach after whom the horse was named. "She e-mailed us to give the horse a big bear hug from us," said Chatlos. Singletary was a linebacker for the Chicago Bears and is currently an assistant coach for the Baltimore Ravens. Chatlos was joined at the Breeders' Cup Press breakfast Sunday by five members of the Little Red Feather Racing ownership, including managing partner Bill Koch, before heading to a Dallas Cowboys pro football game. "I'm one-for-one in the Breeders' Cup; my percentage can only go down from here," quipped Chatlos.

A blocked drain caused damage to the ceiling of a Boston newsagents over the weekend.
Ceiling tiles came down inside Clarks newsagents on Fish Hill on Sunday after the blockage in the premises' mezzanine level was discovered.
Harry Drury from Thomas Campbell Estate Agents, which handles businesses occupying the Assembly Rooms units, explained: "Contractors remedied the overflow of clean water, which had found its way to the lowest point of the suspended ceiling, the weight of which caused the tiles to fall."

America's Best Community Credit Union is headquartered in Hermiston and is the 60th largest credit union in the state of Oregon. It is also the 5,272nd largest credit union in the nation. It was established in 1973 and as of March of 2014, it had grown to 3 employees and 1,939 members. America's Best Community Credit Union has a C+ health rating.
The people who work here are very rude! You have to wait in the drive thru until someone feels like helping you. Information is not accurately given and when a mistake comes to their attention it is the customer's fault. They do not offer online banking or even a number where you can call and check a balance in order to check that you must go in person, the atm, or call the credit union. I would have to say the only good thing they offer are the loan rates.
The Texas Ratio is an indicator of how much capital a bank has available compared to the total value of loans considered at risk. As of March 31, 2014 America's Best Community Credit Union had $11,000 in non-current loans and owned real-estate with $592,000 in equity and loan loss allowances on hand to cover it. This gives America's Best Community Credit Union a Texas Ratio of 1.86% which is excellent. Any bank with a Texas Ratio near or greater than 100% is considered at risk.
In the past year, America's Best Community Credit Union has decreased its total deposits by $-624,000, resulting in -12.45% growth for the year. A strong track record of growth is an indicator of consumer confidence and the bank's ability to strengthen its balance sheet. The growth America's Best Community Credit Union has shown is poor.
Both FDIC and NCUA consider capitalization levels of banks and credit unions to be of high importance. Higher capitalization allows for a greater buffer when cover loans that may fail in the future. America's Best Community Credit Union has $4.94 million in assets with $592,000 in equity, resulting in a capitalization level of 11.98%, which is excellent.

Crying wolf
12:34pm Saturday 23rd February 2013 in Letters By Reader's letter
KEN HOLMES'S letters are always top notch.
However, I must take him to task when he claims the increase in the number of foxes has any relationship to wolves, whose numbers have dwindled so much that they are considered an endangered species (Letters, February 18).
Furthermore, did fox-hunting have much effect on the actual number of foxes around? I think not. In no way is that barbaric practice justified.
Foxes become urbanised because of lack of food in their natural environment due to the steady destruction of the countryside.
Rats are a much bigger problem, so why doesn't the tally-ho brigade chase them with a pack of Jack Russells?
Incidentally, Ken, there is not one documented case in the history of mankind of a wolf attacking a human.
D McTernan, Fossway, York.

Boxing…LIKE A BOSS
So, yeah, we know this isn't a super polished and edited video. No color correction, barely any editing, no music, and none of the wicked CGI we usually do. We just think that this is totally cool and wanted to share it somehow. It doesn't really fit in with the regular content we do, either. It's just a stupid simple video! Martina doesn't like it, but I do! It's Korea related, though, because…it's in Korea. Oh! And we never saw anyone do this for us at the post offices in Canada, either. It's more like "buy your own damn box." Here I can just bring a bunch of junk (as seen in our WTF videos) and ask him to make a custom made box for me. 3,000 won later, I've got something bubble wrapped and all ready to go. In fact, I used this for wrapping Martina's presents for Christmas this year. Seriously. I suck at wrapping presents. It's much better to get them boxed and then draw something on the boxes instead of wrapping them horrendously in wrapping paper. It doesn't help that my drawings suck as well, but at least they're not as bad as his wrapping.
Also, some people have asked about what the post offices are like in Korea, and suggested that we should make a video for it. We thought about it, but, really, it's not that confusing. We go in with envelopes or boxes (like this awesome box here), pick a number, and wait to be called. Then we just give them the package, tell them what kind of delivery we like (normal or express) and they ask for money. It's that simple. If you've got questions, you can ask them here, but I don't really know what more we can say about it.
Anyhow, we posted this on our YouTube bonus channel, so make sure to subscribe to that for more of our extra footage, like Blooper Reels and Deleted Scenes, and just other general nonsense. Hooray to having two YouTube channels! We plan on posting more stuff there in the future, and you wouldn't want to miss out on that would you? Would you?!
Filed Under:WTF Korea
hey guise, this video looks like its been re-uploaded and doing the rounds on FB, thought you might want to know and maybe report it: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=1375170289394937
Hi guys *
It's just to tell you that this video is passing in a humor and other things famous site in Portugal (ainanas.com) xD Everybody is seeing your video, but they're not using your official youtube channel :/
At least everybody can see your url for this web site in the end that's awesome :D
Guys remember that you have fans everywhere, even in Portugal
Love your work and I hope one day you you will be able to come here *-*
Fighting ! Good Luck <3
P.s. The video is here http://ainanas.com/win-2/o-ninja-das-caixas/
What the box!?
This was very engrossing. I never realized that cardboard boxes can be enjoyed by more than kittens and babies.
that really is boxing like a boss
omg this is crazy lol
That is bad. ass.
super duper cuteeeee!!!!
Oh my god that was so freakin' cool!!
omg that is really too cool!!!!
I totally could not get over how freaking straight this dude's cutting was.
I had to watch it twice xD
i cant hear their conversation really well but i think one of the guy lost something and got mad to that guy who is conjuring the box.
this is totally awsome…I have to show that to my mother (when I get back to germany -.-)
she's packing all the tropical plants my father is selling….but SHE can't pack that….well…like THAT..
I can't find any words….:D
waah thats so cool..why is everythin abt kore SO COOL..wooh but omg his hands must be really straight..the way he cut the box…..superb…
omg!!! im korean and i never saw someone who makes boxes that fast! (and someone who does this.. LOL)Â awesome!
omg the subtitles on this are so perfect
This video is getting famous among Korean community sites. The man is saying, "I would have kept it if it was in the place where you dump things. I can't remember but there is nothing that we are keeping. There is no reason for me to throw it away."
Well when he starts to tape the box, he says someone's stomach was sticking out……… 0.o
s**t! is that real?
everytime he finished I'd be like BRO :O YOU JUST MADE A BOX
Ohhhhh wow thatttssss some skills! Ha ha ha… Id be fascinated every time I see that
wow! with just a few measurements, the guy was able to come up with a box tailor-fit for the things. cool!
I'm watching this with this expression O_O
i never knew making boxes was so interesting lol XD
This is amazing o.o
I am NOT weird! There are many other people here who like to watch people make boxes…
anyway…. That was so cool! I'm going to watch it again…
Did he say Big Bang at around 2:00ish?
Anyhow, this is some pretty epic stuff. Not many countries use this system.
that was so cool!!! he was even talking to someone else and i just did it/// so fast!!!!
OMG… that was totally cool… he doesn't even need any tools.. just scissors and a long ruler.. it'll take me hours and hours to do that… simon, u should take pictures with the guy and show us who made the awesome box.. thnx
omg whoa that is way too cool ok way too cool <3
Ohmygod. THAT. WAS. AWESOME!!! :D
Absolutely awesome.
so does all the post offices make custom boxes or is it a special packaging place that makes the custom box?
I'm not sure if all of them do, but all of the ones we've been to (two of them) do it.
Waaa, that's super cool! I want that job.
That's cool. I wish someone in America knew how to do this. I need custom made boxes pronto!
OMG, how does Martina not like this? It's awesome! Anyways, I just want to know, in Korean stores or post offices, does one have to speak Korean to be understood, or can one just get by with speaking English?
I'm Korean, so maybe I can answer for your question.
Actually, you don't have to speak Korean but I recommend you should learn how to speak basic Korean conversation. (ex. How much is it? or I'll take that. etc.)
Basically, most of 'young' Korean can speak and understand English. However, it depends on situation. BUT, don't worry! :)
seriously one of the coolest things ever… im so not talented..
from what i can hear..the guy seems to have lost/left something there and the guy making the box is saying he didn't see it. and if he had…why would he have thrown it away…and they just go on for a bit….
wow. now i' m seriously considering possibility to quit my studies of law and go studying this incredibly amazing and cool art of box-making. is it weird to be sooo impressed by this video?
this is just SO COOL
I was literally 0o0 the entire time. I need to ship stuff home soon, so this would be really cool and convenient if I could find one near me! Is it expensive to ship stuff from Korea? I've been told it's decently priced. I'm just wondering cause I need to plan accordingly.
that is so awsome! wow it looks so professional!
This is actually one of the coolest things I ever saw in my life.
Serious awesomeness just happened there.
whatttt??? is it weird that I was completely engrossed for about 2 minutes and 31 seconds?
OH and my boyfriend watched this vid and agreed that this was amazing… he said,"He has crazy APM… I bet that guy plays Starcraft."
Hey, question… is it better for you guys if we click on the link to watch this on youtube instead of this site…? Like… monetary-wise *wink wink* I dunno if this a rude or inappropriate question…?
Ha! That is a good question. Not rude at all! I'm pretty sure YouTube is better :D
if you don't mind me asking….why would it be better to watch this on Youtube versus here on the site? i like watching it on the site–it's way prettier than Youtube. :) but why is one better than the other, "monetary-wise"?
Thanks! Glad you like the look of this site better :D I think, though, that YouTube's ads make more money than these ones. But that's just a guess!
ahhhh okies :D good to know
This video is far too amusing/mesmerizing when you first wake up and your brain is still semi-fried from writing a paper till 2am.
so pro. wow dude. just look at small details like this. … korea.. wow… O.O
good job!
I was watching like that ":O" It's amazing how fast he made a box!!!
1) if you guys ever folded a box, it's got a certain shape (think 6 sided). He's just doing the pattern according to the size.
2) The knife he used, and the paper, it's premade, 2 knot = cut through, 1 knot = indent.
3000 won = 3 bucks USD, but the equivalent in the US would be about 6 bucks. I'm not sure if anyone would pay that much since we have USPS flat rate shipping in the US (the gigantic large box is about 15, box is free :)).
But I can see that he's got really fast speed making it, musta made a ton of boxes haha. I used to live in asia, and I remember seeing something like this but at a clothing shop, we asked to get it boxed (for gifts), the shop owner pull out a cardboard paper and did it similar to this dude (although less skill and thiner paper = easier).
I totally made a gif for this blog post. I'll tweet it.
I want one of those Korean back massagers SO BAD. I hate living in a small town. It's a pain to get that kind of stuff.
Can't wait to see it :D
It ended up just being a macro! But I read the entire blog post in Simon's voice.
Thanks for making this video! At first I thought Simon was creating the box. Custom boxes! Love these random views into everyday life in Korea. Thanks!!
Even his sellotaping is so straight and flat :O SKILLSSSSS!!!!
Mine never does that!
I wish they had that here in the US too. But sadly we don't. LIke Canada we have get our one darn box and take it too the post office. Well there are flat boxes but it's not as cool as what that guy just did.
Thanks for sharing this Simon!
dayummmmm….that's korea for you baby!!!! a cutter, tape and cardboard
…BAMMMMMMM! a box…
I was ridiculously entertained by that video. I think this guy should come ot the US and teach everyone at USPS, FedEx, UPS, Kinkos, etc. how to be this amazing. I would totally start sending stuff places all the time just to see someone do this. And I kind of love that Simon used this instead of wrapping paper – it was a brilliant idea!
I'v done that before, but he does it so fast and the box looks perfect!
WOW I'm amazed.
That is so awesome in a weird way.
OMG this is the best boxing video I've ever seen….. Well actually this is the first one but still it's pretty amazing..! Love these random videos ♥
i wonder if they have post office olympics? if so im sure this guy medals in boxing.:o
woooooo amazing! something like that on my country wouldnt be bad cuz i really suck at wrapping things and make boxes its out of my league :P
I liked this video. He never stopped talking to his co-worker the entire time!! And the box is perfect sized.
OMG!!!! Genial!!!!! Si me dedicara a hacer cajas, quisera ser como él *-*!!!( en la forma de hacer cajas claro…xD)
OMG!!!!Awesome!!! If I´m dedicate to making boxes, i want to be like him *-*!!! (in the way of making boxes, of course…xD)
I saw you guys at the bar in HongDae today!! I wanted to say hello to you guys but………….I was so shy…. haha^^
and Simon, you looked much better in person!
What the heck! You should have said hi to us! That would have totally made our night!
How can Martina not like that – that was pretty amazing. That guy is a Box Master. The things that guy could do with a craft knife. It would have taken me an hour to make the same box.
That is experience and artistry at work here; I'm in awe!
I wish we were taught to do things like that, here in Canada! (But in Québec, they took most of the classes involving manual work out of the curriculum; I'm appalled! It's not like a nation only needs government office workers! T_T)
i think it's great that you decided to post it! i doubt this box-making thing can be seen in most post offices worldwide.
It's amazing how koreans serve customers. they have all kind of small things that make you feel special, i love that and i'm kind of ashamed of the customer treatment in my country. here the salesman/saleslady gets angry if you just wanna look around the shop or if you ask questions about your purchase.
he was not stopping even for a second lol amazed.
This ajushi is so BA.
omo, I never thought making box would be so awesome XD
I wish they made boxes at the post office here.. I have to buy an oversized, super expensive box to ship things in :p Though I doubt the old ladies at the post office here will start making boxes, haha! Very interesting vid!
just amazing … this guy is total pro ^^
*Poker face*
He just… fwoop, fwoop, fwoop… TADA! You just made a box.
And I like the subs 8)
OMg this is just amazing! I was like.. *-* & also like 0__0
Ok i'm sure if i try to do a box my hand would be cut and in blood xD (sorry if u can't understand what i'm saying, i'm french so..)
this must be the most boring job in the world…
Omg that was AMAZING!
Ooooooooh Its really amazing!!!!!!!0_0 but his voice or attitude is not kind…
If I tried flinging a box cutter around anywhere near as fast as that guy was I would lose a finger… or five. But wow, his boxing skills were amazing!! I wonder how long it takes to get that good?
I can hear what the boxman(?) is saying. Perhaps he is arguing with someone(a customer or his boss). I think he is a little bit annoyed.
"í¬ìž¥í•´ë†"는거 봤잖아요"(You saw I was wrapping it.)
"ë²"리ëŠ"ë° ìžˆì—ˆìœ¼ë©´ ì œê°€ ë³´ê´€í•´ë†¨ì£ . "(when it was in throwing place(?), I picked and had it.)
"ê°€ì§€ê³ ìžˆì—ˆìœ¼ë©´ 분명히 ì œê°€ ë"£ì—ˆê² ì£ . 안ë"£ì—ˆê² ì–´ìš"? ê¸°ì–µì€ ì•ˆë'˜ëŠ"ë° ì œê°€ ë 보관하는건 없어요"
(If I had it, I should keep it, didn't I? I can't remember excactly, I don't have anything.)
I can't translate exactly and I can't figure oldman's voice :)
That was really cool! Thanks for the video! I wish you guys posted more random stuff like this, coz it's fun to know more things about Korea. It doesn't matter if it's not as well edited or filled with CGI because that's not the reason people are watching these! Thank you again and I wish you all the best! And greetings from Finland. :)
How can he do that so… so… quickly, perfectly???
Was it the Post Office?
I'm always bringing my own box, recycled from an other parcel… I'd better to do that!
It so perfect!!!
(Cannot log with my FB account… weird…)
or how to be amazed by a guy making a box… xD
I would have cut myself 10times haha
wow he's good!
i feel like any boxes i attempted to make would be shit-tastic
Best Boxing video I've ever seen!
Whouaaaa!!! Daebak!!! :O
I am impressed. Half-cuts for folds, angle cuts without guides, wrinkle-less taping……this man is the next Youtube (and PostOffice) sensation.
OMG. Jaw still on floor. Skillz!
That was flipping awesome! No, i mean, I am throughly amazed.
is this at the post office?? can i just go to the post office by my house and ask for this?**
**i do live in korea~^^
It's been at every post office we've been to. Granted, we don't visit many post offices (only two) and they made boxes.
He just… made it. And it's perfect!
I'm truly impressed. Thank you for sharing this awesomeness!
I'm highly jealous of that talent. I wrap pretty well, but making a box? No. *amazed*
That was so cool. I want to learn how to make a custom-made box too and make it a business. hahaha!
That was fun to watch! Even the simplest things can have beauty. Thats why it's a pleasure to watch skilled athletes or craftsmen or artists – sure handed, no wasted movement. For example, I find this video about cleaning fish to be kinda beautiful : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qE_ZN1mHKvo … Granted, I guess I'm a bit strange…
hahahaha it is so funny to hear korean conversation while he is making box lol basically, there is one old man voice and *box maker* (younger).. old man seems mad that his stuff is gone and claims that post office must keep it. but box maker says he does not have it lol
*0* That skill can get him a spot in Star King show. The way he measured the box is AMAZING!!!!
I love making boxes too! I can make money out of it? haha Love this vid :)
I'm with you on this one. I'm impressed!
My face was =O the whole time. lol
The fact that he made a fully legit box in under 3 minutes is AMAZING. I have constructed (over the years) at least a hundred handmade boxes…for art stuff/gifts…the speed and skill he has….wowsa! I feel humbled. And for under $3 bucks (!) dahum. I like these random vids…keep 'em coming. :)
WOW!!! :o
He just made a box…no sarcasm but I'm amazed.
That's right! I'm amazed as well.
Wow! I need his hands so I van make boxes like a boss!î"
this makes me want to live in Korea!!!!
omg i'm so amazed i can't close my mouth. can i borrow him this Christmas…?
Wow. He is a box packaging magician.
LOL I JUST WRITE "LIKE A BOX" instead of LIKE A BOSS!!! I'm a fail OTL :'(
I need to learn how to boxing…. LIKE A BOX O_O!!!!
It was really REALLY fast and PERFEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECT!!!!!!

Sampled on tap at Popeye in Tokyo. This might be the strongest alcohol by volume beer made in Japan. This barley wine was aged 3 years.
This barley wine poured a dark, mahogany (black-red) color with thin white foam. The smell was modest but included molasses, malt, and a hint of alcohol. The taste was very nicely balanced with molasses and caramel flavors predominating, and with a hint of the high alcohol presence coming through. The mouthfeel was light and airy on the tongue - pure pleasure. The body was medium and the carbonation low. This was an extremely drinkable barley wine, quite suited to sipping. Very nice.

Bend Bulletin says tort claim notice names Patrick Lanning, who is on administrative leave from job as president of McMinnville's Yamhill Valley Campus
Apr 26, 2014
News-Register Staff
An allegation of sexual misconduct led to early-February action by Chemeketa Community College placing its Yamhill Valley Campus president on paid leave, according to an April 26 story in the Bend Bulletin newspaper.
Patrick Lanning, CCC chief academic officer and president of the McMinnville campus, was placed on leave in early February, Chemeketa officials have confirmed. He has not been charged with any crime.
According to the Bulletin, Chemeketa on February 24 received a tort claim notice "threatening to sue the college 'for acts of sexual abuse, or sexual contact' conducted by Patrick Lanning while the claimant 'was physically helpless.'"
A tort claim notice must be filed before someone can sue a public agency.
The News-Register has requested a copy of the tort claim document and is awaiting a response from Chemeketa legal counsel Mark Comstock. This week, Comstock formally rejected an April 19 News-Register request for disciplinary records related to Lanning, citing Oregon law allowing such records to be withheld "unless the public interest requires disclosure in the particular instance."
No such public interest has been demonstrated, wrote Comstock. And in response to questions about the Bend Bulletin report, Chemeketa Dean of Public Information Greg Harris said, "We have no further comment."
The Bend newspaper has been following the Lanning situation because he became the top pick for a job as president of Central Oregon Community College. The COCC board ended Lanning's candidacy suddenly this month after learning of his employment status at Chemeketa, and reportedly restarted a presidential search expected to last another year.
Just prior to a scheduled interview with Lanning, the Bulletin reported, Chemeketa officials declined to tell the COCC board why Chemeketa President Cheryl Roberts put Lanning on paid leave.
Harris, the Bulletin reported, said the college "did not inform COCC of the investigation based on advice from legal counsel … Our intent was to take care of our employee who had an allegation against him, as we don't know where the truth is."
The Bulletin reported that according to the tort claim, the incident occurred Feb. 6 or 7 "in the claimant's room at the Sheraton Portland Airport Hotel. The hotel was hosting the 2014 Annual Student Success & Retention Conference, at which Lanning was to speak about the challenges faced by impoverished students."
While Lanning is on administrative leave, Jim Eustrom, Chemeketa's executive dean for student affairs, is serving in his place.
The new manager of day-to-day activities at McMinnville's Yamhill Valley Campus is Holly Nelson, former assistant dean. She was placed in that position March 1 following the retirement of longtime Dean John Plett.
Plett continues to work on special projects under a contract that runs through June. There will be a retirement gathering honoring him in May, according to Harris.

I-9 investigations are at an all-time high. Audits of employer I-9 forms increased from 250 in fiscal year 2007 to more than 3,000 in 2012. From fiscal years 2009 to 2012, the total amount of fines grew to nearly $13 million from $1 million. The number of company managers arrested has increased to 238, according to data provided by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
ICE is the principal investigative arm of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Created in 2003, ICE has continued to receive additional funding and now has more than 20,000 employees in offices in all 50 states and 47 foreign countries, with a budget of over $5.65 billion. Based on its resources, ICE has been able to develop a comprehensive worksite enforcement strategy aimed at promoting national security and protecting critical infrastructure by targeting employers who violate employment laws or engage in abuse or exploitation of workers. With immigration reform still uncertain, the trend toward increased scrutiny of immigration related employment practices will likely continue in the foreseeable future. As such, it is even more critical that employers maintain a strong immigration compliance profile. Employers can no longer afford to believe that because they don't hire foreign national workers, they don't have any I-9 exposure or liability. Employers should take efforts to safeguard I-9 compliance and be prepared for heightened enforcement.
So, how can you best prepare for a potential ICE audit? For most organizations the key to I-9 compliance starts with a thorough self-examination of existing I-9 forms, current process and operating policy, and past practices aimed at getting your I-9 house in order. Based on this data, analyze the results, initiate targeted training, and standardize your I-9 practices and procedures. As you will likely discover, the I-9 process is error-prone and hard to centralize. Therefore, you will want to implement a solid system to keep track of all the I-9 documents, deadlines, and work visa re-verification requirements. These steps are especially important for companies that have high turnover rates, large numbers of employees and/or multiple worksites.
Please join me at the 19th Annual Akerman Labor & Employment Law Seminar where we will discuss these and other employment law issues.

Billed as a German black lager...
Dark, black body with a creamy, light tan head; excellent rings and lacing. Faint roasted grain aroma. Smooth, medium body; light sugary feel. Tastes include roasted grains, lightly charred toast; good bitterness throughout; light chocolate flavor.
A really nice, malty German-styled dark lager. Rich but not too much. Excellent dark beer flavors. Well-balanced with a decent complexity to make each sip an exploratory delight...

L'Wren leaves £5.5m estate to Mick
4:24am Thursday 27th March 2014 in National Entertainment News © Press Association 2014
L'Wren Scott has left her entire estate to long-time boyfriend and Rolling Stones frontman Sir Mick Jagger.
The Daily News said papers filed in Manhattan's Surrogate's Court estimated the value of the 49-year-old designer's personal estate at nine million dollars (£5.5m). L'Wren committed suicide on March 17 in New York.
The filing said her main asset was her Manhattan condominium worth about eight million dollars (£4.8m). Other items included her jewellery, clothing, household furnishings and cars.
A small, private funeral service was held for Ms Scott in Los Angeles on Tuesday.

Ron Paul: Gold Could Go to 'Infinity'Submitted by GoldCore on 06/24/2013 09:56 -0400
"Well you know if you look at the last 13 years it was up 12 out of 13 and this year isn't even over yet, so I would say its responded pretty well. But you might say well yeah what about in the last year why hasn't it? Well, markets do these things they go up sharply and sometimes they take a rest. But the long term is something you can get a handle on, but I was never very good on short term, whether it's the stock market or whatever, or what government will do, they are just all over the place.

Peak CollateralSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 05/27/2013 19:23 -0400
Peak collateral is just a notion - one we have discussed in detail many times (most recently here). The notion that at the time we want yield and growth we are running out of collateral which is supposed to underpin the high yielding assets and loans. Such a shortage would cause the ponzi-like growth that is necessary to sustain a bubble, to stall and then implode. We think our lords and rulers know this and have decided that it must not be allowed. And this – the need for collateral – is the reason for the endless QE. If this is even close to the mark, then recent murmurings about the Fed tailing off its bond buying will prove to be hollow. The Fed will quickly find it cannot exit QE without precipitating precisely the disorderly collapse, to which it was supposed to be the solution.

Thanks Ben Bernanke: Using A Shotgun As Down Payment For A CarSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 04/03/2013 10:57 -0400
Thanks to the Fed's ZIRP, the investing world is on a constant reach for yield; and due to the fact that the last bubble of investor largesse (ignoring leverage and reality) was not 'punished' but in fact 'bailed-out', participants in the financial markets learned nothing. Just as the last crisis was formed on the back of an insatiable mortgage-backed security market desperate for new loans (any loans) of increasingly dubious quality to securitize, so this time it is subprime auto loans that have taken over. As a Reuters review of court records shows, subprime auto lenders are showing up in a lot of personal bankruptcy filings. At car dealers across the United States, loans to subprime borrowers are surging - up 18% in 2012 YoY, to 6.6 million borrowers. Subprime auto lending is just one of several mini-bubbles the bond-buying program has created across a range of assets; "it's the same sort of thing we saw in 2007, people get driven to do riskier and riskier things." Of course, with auto production having been the backbone of so many macro data points that are used to 'show' the real economy recovering (despite the channel-stuffing), now that the growth in auto-sales are stalling, it is for the subprime originators "under extreme pressure to hit goals" in their boiler-room-like dealings to extend loans (at ever higher rates) and securitize while the Fed 'music' is still playing. It seems we truly never learn.

Union: One Survived; One May NotSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 03/22/2013 08:14 -0400
One of the most interesting issues of what has happened in Cyprus is where was the problem three weeks ago? There was not a mention, not a hint of anything that was wrong. All of the banks in Cyprus had passed each and every European bank stress test. The numbers reported out by the ECB and the Bank for International Settlements indicated nothing and everything reported by any official organization in the European Union pointed to a stable and sound fiscal and monetary policy and conditions. The IMF, who monitors these things as well, did not have Cyprus or her banks on any kind of watch list. In just two weeks' time we have gone from not a mention of Cyprus to a crisis in Cyprus because none of the official numbers were accurate. Without doubt, without question, if this can happen in Cyprus then it could happen in any other country in the Eurozone because the uncounted liabilities are systemic to the whole of Europe.

Cyprus: The World's Biggest "Poker Game"Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/17/2013 21:04 -0400
While this kind of 'wealth tax' has been predicted, as we noted yesterday, this stunning move in Cyprus is likely only the beginning of this process (which seems only stoppable by social unrest now). To get a sense of both what just happened and what its implications are, RBS has put together an excellent summary of everything you need to know about what the Europeans did, why they did it, what the short- and medium-term market reaction is likely to be, and the big picture of this "toxic policy error." As RBS summarizes, "the deal to effectively haircut Cypriot deposits is an unprecedented move in the Euro crisis and highlights the limits of solidarity and the raw economics that somebody has to pay. It is also the most dangerous gambit that EMU leaders have made to date." And so we await Europe's open and what to expect as the rest of the PIIGSy Banks get plundered.

I really need to stop being so pessimistic. I'm getting richer by the day. My home value is rising at a rate of 1% per month according to the National Association of Realtors. At that rate, my house will be worth $1 million in less than 10 years. Every mainstream media newspaper, magazine, and news channel is telling me the "strong" housing recovery is propelling the economy and creating millions of new jobs. Keynesian economists, Wall Street bankers, government apparatchiks and housing trade organizations are all in agreement that the wealth effect from rising home prices will be the jumpstart our economy needs to get back to the glory days of 2005. Who am I to argue with such honorable men with degrees from Ivy League schools and a track record of unquestioned accuracy as we can see in the chart below? These are the facts. But why trust facts when you can believe Baghdad Ben and the NAR? It's always the best time to buy.

Guest Post: How The End Of Empire Comes, Not With A Bang, But With A WhimperSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 02/25/2013 13:51 -0400
When Moody's downgraded the UK's sovereign credit rating last week it was something of an anti-climax. The ratings agencies long ago lost what little credibility they ever had. Being downgraded by Moody's is like being called a moron by a moron; ask anyone who has ever set foot in a bond dealing room - the ratings agencies are always behind the curve. The UK has been on the skids, credit-wise, for years. Britain's debt to GDP has gone through the roof. We, and generations to come, will be left with the reckoning. Nobody believes that bonds are an objective reflection of economic reality. The game is rigged, and everybody knows it. But the Moody's downgrade should serve as a piercing smoke alarm to anybody still naive enough to be holding these instruments of value destruction. Get out now while the going is good.
