Obama warns Syria against chemical, biological weapon use

President Barack Obama said Monday the U.S. would reconsider its opposition to military involvement in the Syrian civil war if President Bashar al-Assad's beleaguered regime deploys or uses chemical or biological weapons. He called such action a "red line" for the United States. Speaking to reporters at the White House, Obama said the use of such weapons of mass destruction would considerably widen a conflict that has already dragged on for 18 months and killed some 20,000 people, according to activists. Syria possesses extensive chemical and biological weapons stockpiles and has threatened to use them if the country comes under foreign attack. "That's an issue that doesn't just concern Syria. It concerns our close allies in the region, including Israel. It concerns us," Obama said, also acknowledging the possibility that militant groups might acquire some of those weapons. "We cannot have a situation where chemical or biological weapons are falling into the hands of the wrong people

South African miners keep striking after shooting

Striking South African miners remained defiant Monday, four days after police shot to death 34 of their compatriots, with at least half the strikers staying off the job and dozens of others singing in a paddy wagon on their way to court. The Lonmin PLC platinum mine extended its ultimatum by a day, saying strikers have until Tuesday to return to work or get fired. The mine said it resumed operations Monday with 30 percent of its workforce. Women searched for loved ones missing since Thursday's shootings, with many gathered outside a courthouse in hopes their husbands, brothers and sons are alive and among 259 miners awaiting trial. The court decided Monday to continue the hearing Aug. 27, with the miners remaining in custody. this blogger thinks this is wrong

TAYLOR SWIFT IS A HOE

Taylor Swift has stated that she has written songs about all of her ex-boyfriends, that they are the greatest inspiration for her. So this is a list of who was the inspiration for what song, what interviews she talked about it in, and any other relevant information.

■The song Tim McGraw was inspired by an ex-boyfriend. She told USA today, "He bought the album and said he really loved it, which is sweet. His current girlfriend isn't too pleased with it, though." It was named after a musician whose songs she liked. He was going away from college so she wanted to write him something to remember her by. ■Picture to Burn was written about an ex-boyfriend, whom she calls a redneck, and says he never let her drive his pick-up truck. ■Teardrops on My Guitar was written about a boy she liked, whom she never actually dated. "Drew was a real person!" she tells. Drew was surprised when he heard his name in the song. "I never knew she liked me" Drew says. Taylor stated that two years after the song came out Drew showed up at her house and asked her on a date. She declined. "It was the perfect fairytale ending, but a little to late." ■Should've Said No was about an ex-boyfriend that cheated on her. The boyfriend's name was Sam, and, in the CD booklet, every S, A, and M was capitalized if it was in the correct order. ■Joe Jonas broke up with her over the phone, something she has complained about on Ellen Degeneres' show, and elsewhere. She got her record company to let her record a song about it, to add at the last minute to her album. Forever & Always is the name of that song. She also wrote 'Last Kiss' about him and 'Better than Revenge' is about his ex-girlfriend, Camila Belle. ■Taylor Lautner became her boyfriend after they met on set for the film Valentine's Day. Their relationship was popularly known as Taylor Squared. They broke up in early 2010. She mentioned going to a hockey game with him during her October 29th 2009 appearance on the Ellen Show. According to MTV he was more into her than she was into him, he going everywhere he could to see her, but it was not working out. [1] They have apparently decided to just be friends. The song, Back to December is suspected to be about Taylor Lautner. The song is an apology to him. Some of the lyrics go..." Your guard is up and I know why. Because the last time you saw me is still burned in the back of your mind ...you gave me roses and I left them there to die. So this is me swallowing my pride, standing in front of you saying I'm sorry for that night. And I go back to December all the time. You gave me all your love and all I gave you was goodbye." At the end of the song she asks for his forgiveness and hints to the fact she wants to be with him again. The couple hasn't reunited and at the recent American Music Awards Swift performed the song and at the end added "and he said..it's too late to 'pologize" from popular song "Apologize" by the band One Republic. [2] She is alluding to the parody video Taylor Lautner made for "Apologize". [3] Time magazine listed this is one of the top apologies of 2010. [4] ■Jake Gyllenhaal reported spent $160,000 to have her flown over on a private jet for a date. [5]He later broke up with her through a text. ■The song Dear John is rumored to be her ex-boyfriend John Mayer. ■The song Enchanted is about Adam Young of Owl City but she never dated him, although he did state his interest

CHRISTEEN/ROB SpLiT

After the photo scandal that revealed actress Kristen Stewart had a fling with the "Snow White and the Huntsman" director Rupert Sanders, speculations arise that she and boyfriend for four years Robert Pattinson will break up. Twi-hards were devastated after hearing the news that Kristen Stewart cheated on the British actor during the filming of her most recent movie "Snow White and the Huntsman." It was revealed that aside from playing the "fairest of them all" princess, Kristen Stewart also played the role as Sanders' girlfriend for a brief time. Us Weekly obtained scandalous photos of Stewart and Sanders that served as evidence of the fling going on between the two. Rupert Sanders is currently married to British Vogue model Liberty Ross, and the couple has two children. 22-year-old Kristen Stewart and director Rupert Sanders, 41, both released public apologies at the same time admitting the rumors. "I'm deeply sorry for the hurt and embarrassment I've caused to those close to me and everyone this has affected. This momentary indiscretion has jeopardized the most important thing in my life, the person I love and respect the most, Rob. I love him, I love him, I'm so sorry," the actress told People. "I am utterly distraught about the pain I have caused my family ... My beautiful wife and heavenly children are all I have in this world. I love them with all my heart. I am praying that we can get through this together," Sanders also told People in a separate statement. The scandal led fans to gossip if the Twilight sweethearts will head to split. Angered fans of RPatz and Robsten took Twitter to lash out on the actress calling her names such as "home wrecker." The scandal is off timing as the Kristen and Rob are busy promoting the final film of The Twilight Saga, which will hit the theaters in November. There is no denying it that their real life romance has been a plus point in promoting the Twilight films. Will the crack in their relationship affect the promotion of their latest film? The two appeared at the recently concluded Teen Choice Awards and Comic Con event looking sweet and so much in love. In a recent interview with Blackbook magazine, Robert Pattinson cleared the rumors that he and Kristen will not get married this year. Not yet. But the actor implied that it will happen. Will he stay true to his words?

90'S FASHION

Memorable times and fashion you might want to forget are both big features of the 1990s. Fashion trends seem to come back around every 20 years, so some of those ’90s fads have found their way back into our closets while others (thankfully) will stay where they belong– in the ’90s! Grow nostalgic over these fashion trends we (sorta sometimes) miss from the 1990s

land ahoy! Snap up your own private island for £3m, but it does look suspiciously like a boat

This amazing-looking craft can't quite work out whether it's a boat or an island. The Osros floating Island was designed to offer the billionaire superyacht lifestyle for mere millionaire money. It boasts six luxury double bedrooms, with space for 12 residents and accommodation for up to four staff members, all for a cool £3million. There is what the manufacturers describe as an 'autonomous power supply based energy system' powered, both day and night, by a noiseless wind energy system, as well as more than 120 m2 of solar panels making the most use of daylight. Heat recovery from sea water is the basis for heating and air conditioning.

FINALLY HP GETS ITS TABLET " D̶̲̥̅̊ SURFACE"

Microsoft inserted itself into the tablet hardware market in a major way this evening, unveiling its line of Surface tablet devices at an event in Los Angeles. Wrapped in a magnesium case that Microsoft calls VaporMg (pronounced "Vapor mag"), the highlight feature of the Surface touch tablet might be a magnetically-attached, 3mm-thich Touch Cover that folds down and functions as a full touchscreen keyboard. Another cover option, the 5-mm thick Type Cover, has a built-in track pad. The keyboards power down when they're folded back against the tablet thanks to a built-in accelerometer. Microsoft says it will have two different versions of the Surface tablet, one with its Windows RT operating system, which runs on ARM-based processors, and another based on Intel's x86 CPU platform that will use Windows 8 Pro Surface tablet key specs 9.3mm thick 676 grams/23.85 ounces 10.6-inch ClearType HD Display ("Full HD" on Pro model) 31.5 watt hour battery (42 watt hours on Pro model) Ports: microSD, USB 2.0, micro HD video, 2x2 MIMO antennae (microSDXC, USB 3.0, mini DisplayPort video on Pro model) Storage options: 32GB and 64GB for Windows RT, 64GB and 128GB for Windows 8 Pro Front and rear-facing "HD" cameras The 10.6-inch touch screen will give the Surface a bigger display than the 10.1-inch Apple iPad and Samsung Galaxy Tab 2. Microsoft has not announced the specifics of the display resolution yet, but it did confirm a 16:9 aspect ratio. The "HD display" Microsoft mentions in its spec sheet for the Windows Pro version suggests a 1,920x1,080 pixel resolution. Only the 2,048x1,536 pixel iPad has a higher screen resolution. That might also imply a 1,280x720 display (aka 720p) on the vanilla "HD" Windows RT Surface tablet. For the CPUs, the Surface with Windows RT will use an Nvidia ARM CPU, which most likely means a quad core Tegra 3 chip, like you'll find in the Asus Transformer Pro TF300. On the Windows 8 Pro Surface, Microsoft confirm a full-fledged third generation "Ivy Bridge" Core i5 quad core chip like the chips in current Windows laptops. Microsoft was not forthcoming about networking details on the Surface, but a "MIMO" antenna (multiple input-multiple output), implies support for both wireless and cellular data connections. Microsoft says pricing information will be available closer to availability, but that it will be comparative to competing ARM tablets and ultrabook laptops.
