If you’ve ever seen me in the hall, you know that I am not the most fashionable student at Staples. I’ve progressed since freshman year where on Pajama Day, I realized that what I wear to school normally is what everyone wears to sleep.
|
Although I still think yoga pants and t-shirts are much more practical than while cute dresses, and logo-wear days will forever be my favorite excuse to wear a sweatshirt and leggings, I’m actually not opposed to fashion; I just hate shopping.
|
I’d much rather wear clothing that went out of style years ago or has holes than shop. First of all, the process takes so long. When I was young and naïve, I believed my mom that it is actually possible to take a “quick trip to the mall,” but I have since learned the truth.
|
Even if you’re just shopping for just one dress, it takes hours of trying on thousands of dresses, tons of necklaces, and numerous accessories all which acquire examination at every angle for parental approval.
|
Secondly, the prices. I can’t help but look at a $20 shirt and think about the number of Starbucks iced-mochas I could buy with that money. Why spend $200 on a pair of jeans when you could be buying a ticket to “Newsies” on Broadway instead? I’d much rather have a few pairs of sweatshirts and a few more bucks than a fashionable outfit.
|
So you’re probably wondering why I don’t wear sweats every day to school. I promise you, it’s not by choice.
|
My mom has actually resorted to grounding me until I go shopping. The week before school I wasn’t allowed to hang out with my friends until I shopped.
|
Once I got to a store, my mom seized the opportunity and made me buy summer, fall and winter clothes all at once because she and I very well knew that I wouldn’t be going on another shopping trip anytime soon.
|
Needless to say, I’d be happy to go to the beach or the movies, but never invite me to go shopping.

Online video-rental service suffers malfunction that paralyzes Web site, logistics and delivery.
|
Update at 6:15 p.m. PDT to add areas that may likely see delays in delivery.
|
Update at 7:55 p.m. to reflect that the site has since come back online.
|
Netflix customers expecting a little red package soon may be disappointed.
|
The largest online video-rental service has suffered a technical glitch that has knocked out its Web site as well as its logistics and delivery systems, according to a Steve Swasey, a company spokesman.
|
The malfunction, the source of which the company won't reveal, began at about 7 a.m. PDT. The site came back online about 12 hours later, but the malfunction caused Netflix to miss the deadline to mail a large number of shipments scheduled to go out on Monday--affecting customers across the United States, according to Swasey. "We did send some shipments, but most of them will go out on Tuesday."
|
Swasey declined to specify what percentage of the company's more than 7.5 million customers would be affected.
|
The blackout was the second longest in company history. In July, Netflix suffered an outage that lasted longer than 18 hours. On that day, the company's shares fell 7 percent as the market punished Netflix for a drop in customers.
|
This time, the glitch came as Netflix's customer numbers are on the rise and its stock is soaring. Stock analysts upgraded Netflix on Monday, and the company closed trading at $38.18, up 5 percent. Over the past six months, the company's shares have doubled in value.
|
One of the differences between the two outages is that Netflix's logistics and shipping systems were not affected in July. With the more recent glitch, Netflix continued to ship DVDs but that changed sometime Monday afternoon.
|
In a message posted to its site, Netflix told customers not to worry because the company's "distribution centers are still sending and receiving DVDs." A check of the site's HTML source showed that the company rendered that sentence invisible sometime later.
|
"Our engineers have been feverishly working on repairing the problem all morning," Swasey said. "It was an unanticipated, unplanned outage, and we apologize to our customers."
|
Site outages are typically not a big deal, and any company can suffer one. But a blackout that lasts for more than an hour is rare, and one spanning several hours is rarer still.
|
Netflix, which has 7 million subscribers, said that customers needn't worry about their stored movie picks. None of their information will be lost.

Travis have added a further five dates to their US and CANADA tour schedule in September.
|
Speaking on [url=]www.mtv.com , Travis frontman Fran Healy said he was looking forward to the “holiday” of going into the studio in Los Angeles with producer Nigel Godrich to work on the follow-up to their multi-platinum album ‘The Man Who’.
|
“We’ll be out there [LA] for three weeks. It’ll be like a kind of holiday, as well. And that’s odd to think of our going into the studio as a holiday, but when you’re on the road it’s nice to stop, and it’s even better to get into the studio,” he added.

At Saddleback Barack Obama responded to the question addressed to him by Rick Warren on abortion as being “above my pay grade.” Those who have dug into his record in the Illinois senate, however, have found evidence that Obama is a devout believer in what might be called the sacramental or positive good view of abortion: nothing can be allowed to interfere with the unfettered exercise of the purported right, including the accident of an infant born alive.
|
David Freddoso considers the evidence in “Life lies.” Russell Berman covers the political fallout in “Obama facing attacks from all sides over abortion record.” The attacks from the left that are alluded to in the headline of Berman’s article date from the primary season. The attacks now at issue come from the right; they have elicited the charge from Obama that they are lies. As Freddoso shows, it is Obama’s defense that appears to fail the cherry tree test.

Hannah Suh had never seen her little brother Justin so happy, and she had never felt more proud.
|
The siblings spent most of their childhood on a golf course in San Jose and spent countless hours working on their game.
|
Eventually they relied on competitions among themselves to make things more interesting.
|
Push-ups became their go-to stake.
|
"I would beat him all the time," Hannah said.
|
But Justin, three years younger, never relented. He wanted to defeat his sister and continued to agree to the bet, despite the probable outcome.
|
"He practiced every day to try to beat Hannah," their father, Duk Suh, said.
|
One day, they upped the ante from a few push-ups to 50.
|
That's when Justin won for the first time.
|
"I think that's why he got so good and I got so good," Hannah said. "We were just playing games and being really competitive and trying to beat each other and that allowed us to grow and just improve our golf game."
|
Justin is on his way to one of the best seasons in USC history.
|
He has won four of nine events as a junior and is averaging 68.69 strokes in 26 rounds. He is Golfweek's No. 2-ranked player in the nation going into the Pac-12 Conference championship tournament Monday hosted by USC at Rolling Hills Country Club in Rolling Hills Estates.
|
"He has a real serious approach to this tournament," USC coach Chris Zambri said. "He does a good job preparing for everything but he knows this one is more important than the previous ones and he's probably ramped up a little bit as far as trying to make sure he's ready."
|
The tournament also features No. 1-ranked Collin Morikawa from California and No. 3 Norman Xiong from Oregon. Morikawa is a graduate of La Cañada High.
|
"I'm not going out there just to beat those guys but it is in the mind-set that you are playing against the guy who just took over the spot that I was in," said Suh, who was ranked No. 1 for much of the season. "They want to go out there and beat me, I want to go out there and beat them, but you really just want to beat the field."
|
Justin began golfing when he was 3.
|
Duk played golf every day and would take his children along. Eventually, Hannah and Justin would get dropped off to play on their own for the day.
|
From the outset, Duk and Hynn Suh favored Hannah to make a career of the sport.
|
"I was always in the back," Justin said. "I was always watching her win these tournaments and I was trying to reach the attention of my parents."
|
Hannah played four years at Cal before calling it a career. Despite their competitive nature, Justin said it was Hannah who helped inspire his career.
|
"She was definitely my idol growing up because she was doing so well in these junior tournaments," Justin said. "So I was able to learn from her and see what she did so great."
|
It didn't take long for Justin to win. He began playing in U.S. events when he was 6 and at 7 he shot a 72.
|
"He was just a little squirt going out there and killing it," Hannah said.
|
Justin qualified four consecutive times for the USGA Junior Amateur, a feat also accomplished by Tiger Woods and Jordan Spieth, but few others.
|
He accepted a scholarship to USC by the end of his freshman year at Evergreen Valley High.
|
"When we recruit somebody really young we want to see them playing a level that is already as high as somebody we would recruit as a junior," Zambri said. "Justin was showing that he had the ability to do that."
|
After enduring "traumatizing" tournaments early in his freshman season at USC — Suh said he was overconfident and underprepared for the conditions — he wrote a list of things he needed to improve.
|
Soon after, he adjusted his swing.
|
"He believed in the concept of trying to get way more shallow so that his swing through the bag would be a little more consistent," Zambri said.
|
His game has improved ever since.
|
"I wouldn't be here if I didn't change that swing," said Suh, who never had a coach growing up, but relied on Duk and YouTube videos of Woods.
|
Suh has his eye on the PGA Tour, but already has decided that he will return to USC for his senior season.
|
"I already signed my lease," he said, laughing. The only way that could change, he said, is if he were to win an individual national championship.
|
His father will be in the gallery watching this week. Hannah and Hynn will be following his progress from San Jose as he tries to capture a Pac-12 championship.
|
"His mind is very strong," Duk said. "He can do it."
|
Justin said he was confident that his game was coming together at the right time.
|
"I've always wanted to be in this position," Justin said. "I always wanted to play at this level."

JNS.org – Lawmakers in Honduras voted on Thursday to relocate the country’s embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
|
“Israel congratulates the National Congress of Honduras for passing with an overwhelming majority a resolution in favor of opening an Embassy in Jerusalem,” Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Emmanuel Nahshon said on Twitter.
|
Honduran lawmakers approved the measure 59-33, which now must be approved by the executive branch.
|
“A notice has been sent to the secretary of state in the Foreign Ministry who handles [Honduran] ties to the Israeli people, according to which Honduras should consider moving its embassy in Israel to Jerusalem from Tel Aviv,” said National Congress First Secretary Jose Tomas Zambrano Molina.
|
Earlier this week, Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat announced that Guatemala will open its new embassy in Jerusalem just two days after the United States in mid-May.
|
Like its Central American neighbor, Honduras has been strongly supportive of US President Donald Trump’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and to move the American embassy there.
|
Israel and Honduras also enjoy a strong relationship. In March, Israel announced it would be expanding cooperation with Honduras in areas such as security, economic development, education, health and the environment.
|
Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández was also scheduled to take part in Israel’s 70th Independence Day celebrations next week, but was forced to withdraw from the event over human rights objections from some in Israel.
