London, England, UK (Reuters) – Wealthy homeowners in some of London's most affluent neighborhoods are racing to build luxury basements with swimming pools and wine cellars before new rules limiting underground developments come into force.
Over the past decade a growing number of property owners unable to build up or out in tight London streets have opted to dig down, bypassing rules governing above-ground work and encouraged by technological advances in building basements.
Tetra Pak heir Hans Rausing this week joined the list of the super wealthy to get approval to build a pool, cinema, and cigar room under his London mansion where his wife's body lay hidden for two months last year after her drug-related death.
Chelsea Football Club owner Roman Abramovich, Formula 1 heiress Tamara Ecclestone, and steel tycoon Lakshmi Mittal are among those dabbling with basement extensions in recent years.
But the construction of mega basements is about to be reined in with authorities in the two most affected London areas finalizing stricter rules for subterranean work in response to community anger about the disruption and structural impact.
Final comments on the plans had to be submitted this week. Resident groups around London have grown increasingly angry about basement extensions causing noise and disturbance during construction, traffic problems, vermin, and fear developments will impact structural stability of nearby buildings."There were just no rules and we've had quite a few accidents, such as a skip (dumpster) cracking through the street and water leaking into neighboring properties," said Randa Hanna, spokeswoman for the Belgravia Residents' Association.
"There really has been an astronomical rise in the number of basement developments, many of which were not monitored properly, and introducing some rules is a step forward." Value adding
Kensington & Chelsea and Westminster councils' plans to introduce new rules in early 2014 to target and restrict basement development prompted a rush of applications this year.
The new rules will make major basement extensions more difficult as excavations deeper than one storey will only be allowed in exceptional circumstances and basement extensions covering more than 50 percent of the garden will not be allowed.Developers expect other councils in London may follow suit.
"This summer we've seen people rushing to get consent for basement developments, advised to do so by us and their architects," said Charlie Bubear, head of the Chelsea office of Savills real estate agency. "This can add significant value to a property. Basement conversions are the only way to go if you want to extend and it avoids the costs of having to move but you can understand resentment to living next to a building site."
Bubear said it costs about 500 pounds ($780) per square foot to build a basement but properties in the area sell for up to 2,500 per square foot with double digit price rises annually.
A spokeswoman for Kensington & Chelsea Council, one of Britain's most expensive areas where semi-detached houses cost an average 6.1 million pounds ($9.5 millon), said a record number of applications had been received this year.
In the first five months the council received 166 basement applications compared with 297 in all of 2012 – a sharp contrast from 2001 when 46 basement applications were submitted. Since 2009 it has received over 1,000 applications and approved nearly 800.
Hanna said the new rules should slow down the pace of basement developments but they would not stop it altogether.
"It is too much to say you can't build in your own home but these developments need to be monitored better," she said.

— The Rubber Industry report provides a basic overview of the industry including definitions, classifications, applications and industry chain structure. The Rubber industry analysis is provided for the international markets including development trends, competitive landscape analysis, and key regions development status.
The worldwide market for Rubber is expected to grow at a CAGR of roughly xx% over the next five years, will reach xx million US$ in 2023, from xx million US$ in 2017, according to a new study.

Natural rubber, also called India rubber or caoutchouc, as initially produced, consists of polymers of the organic compound isoprene, with minor impurities of other organic compounds plus water. Natural rubber is the prototype of all elastomers. The rubber is collected from the latex in a series of steps involving preservation, concentration, coagulation, dewatering, drying, cleaning, and blending. Because of its natural derivation, it is sold in a variety of grades based on purity (color and presence of extraneous matter), viscosity, viscosity stability, oxidation resistance, and rate of cure.
First, for industry structure analysis, the natural rubber industry is comparatively fragmented by manufacturers, but, it is concentrated by regions. A variety of manufacturers ranging from large multinational corporations to small privately owned companies compete in this industry. Regionally, Thailand is the biggest production area of natural rubber, about 30.41% production market share of the global production in 2016, also the leader in the whole natural rubber industry. Then Indonesia, Vietnam, Malaysia, China and Indian are the main production regions in turn.
Second, for production, the global production of natural rubber has reached 13030.2 K MT by the end of year 2016, with annual growth rate around 2-3% during the past years.
Third, for the market, the global natural rubber market is worth over $26.6 Billion in 2016, according to our survey. The application can be classified based on end users, which are automotive, medical industrial use, consumer goods. Automotive use has been in traditional ways, about 65.74% of the all application, while consumer goods application is more diversified. Generally, the growth in medical use would keep increasing in the following years, as the surging demand in both developed and developing areas.
Fourth, for price trend analysis, a key variable in the performance of natural rubber producers is downstream market demand. Generally, demands in developed countries are moderate, while demands in developing areas are in fast growth. China is the largest consumption region of natural rubber, reaching 3530 K MT in 2016, followed by Europe and USA.
Fifth, for trade analysis, the import and export business of natural rubber is frequent, with Thailand and Indonesia the leading exporter. The import business in China is frequent, and local demand of high end products cannot be met with the production. But overcapacity is increasing year by year,
Sixth, for forecast, the global natural rubber industry would keep increasing with annual growth rate with 2~3%, and a little higher speed in China. We tend to believe this industry now is over capacity, and the demand increasing degree will show a smooth curve. On product prices, the slow downward trend in recent years will maintain in the future, as competition intensifies, prices gap between different brands will go narrowing. Similarly, there will be fluctuation in gross margin.

The Tony Maserati Collection features six application-specific audio plug-ins, created by Waves in collaboration with multi-Platinum mixing engineer Tony Maserati:
- Maserati GTi: The gigantic guitars of The Rapture, Rob Thomas, and Bowie.
- Maserati VX1: The smooth vocal sound of Alicia Keys, Beyoncé, and beyond.
- Maserati DRM: The slamming drums of Black Eyed Peas, Usher, and Christina Aguilera.
- Maserati HMX: The high energy sparkle of The Pussycat Dolls, Britney, and Mariah.
- Maserati B72: The massive bass of Notorious B.I.G., Jay-Z, and Mary J.
- Maserati ACG: The crisp, clean acoustic guitar sound of Jason Mraz and k.d. lang.
Tony Maserati on the GTi Guitar Toner: "The GTi was created with all the different guitar players I've admired in mind. I tried to find settings that would be a starting place for getting their sound, from the 'Clean' in-your-face sound of, say, Elliott Smith to the wide chorus-y spread of The Police's Andy Summers using the 'Clean Chorus' setting. On the 'Heavy' setting, a bit of level and EQ help your already crunched guitar sound scream through any thick instrumentation you've got. 'Thick Rhythm' lets you to subtly or substantially make your rhythm guitar sound livelier; it also works great on Wurlis and Horns. The 'Soft Flange' setting is just that; it adds interesting and subtly audible filtering to legato notes or sustained electric guitars. My intention was to make these effects usable in a wide variety of applications. The wild and crazy FX are out there; you already got 'em if you need 'em!"
Tony Maserati on the VX1 Vocal Enhancer: "The VX1 is a compact package for full vocal control, whether you need to squeeze the most emotion out subtle performance or engulf it in a room with a full band production. This plug-in has all the processing you need for Vocals. Contour 1 will give you a studio or small venue room; Contour 2 is a larger chamber with reflective pre-delays, most suited for slow ballads; and Contour 3 is set up for quicker tempo songs with a very small room and matching pre-delay."
Tony Maserati on the DRM Drum Slammer: "The DRM was designed to help the excitement of percussive transients get heard through mixes which are thick with instrumentation and vocals. Whether on programmed or live drums, DRM is a great starting point for your mix."
Tony Maserati on the B72 Bass Phattener: "The B72 actually has two distinct starting places. I've worked on a large variety of music for my artists, and there's never just one sound or one preset. Try the 'DI' setting on your electric or acoustic bass and you'll see how you can enhance the roundness, while keeping it lively throughout the song. The 'Synth' setting opens up a different door, with thickness, stereo spread, and harmonic flavor. It'll fill the speakers like an old Prophet."
Tony Maserati on the ACG Acoustic Guitar Designer: "The ACG is a comprehensive tool to help gain ultimate control and energy boost from a variety of acoustic guitar types. The 'ACG 1' setting allows you to maximize level and sculpt your top and bottom. 'ACG 2' setting has more built-in compression for bringing out the subtleties in a live performance. Both have appropriate room settings available to be dialed in at varying levels."
Tony Maserati on the HMX Harmonics Generator: "In 'Modal' mode, the HMX will make your piano wide, with just the right amount of chorus effect, to give it life on a vocal demo, or raise your Wurlitzer's presence, for some ethereal magic. 'Bounce' mode will add a bit of reverb and delay, to create energy and movement for a sensitive ballad or live-ness to a funky full-band setting."

A young passenger on an adult's bike makes the bike unstable and increases the braking time.
A mishap at any speed easily attained during casual riding could cause significant injury to the child. Following these guidelines decreases, but does not eliminate, the risk of injury.
Preferably, children should ride in a bicycle-towed child trailer.
Only adult cyclists should carry young passengers.
Preferably ride with passengers in parks, on bike paths, or on quiet streets. Avoid busy thoroughfares and bad weather, and ride with maximum caution and at a reduced speed.
Infants younger than 12 months are too young to sit in a rear bike seat and should not be carried on a bicycle. Do not carry infants in backpacks or frontpacks on a bike.
Children who are old enough (12 months to 4 years) to sit well unsupported and whose necks are strong enough to support a lightweight helmet may be carried in a child-trailer or rear-mounted seat.
A rear-mounted seat must
Be securely attached over the rear wheel
Have spoke guards to prevent feet and hands from being caught in the wheels
Have a high back and a sturdy shoulder harness and lap belt that will support a sleeping child
A lightweight infant bike helmet should always be worn by a young passenger to prevent or minimize head injury. Small styrofoam helmets that meet Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) standards are available.
The child must be strapped into the bike seat with a sturdy harness.
Remember, the risk of serious injury still exists when you carry a young child on your bicycle.
Dear Parent:
Your child is old enough to learn how to prevent injuries. The picture below is designed to help him or her think about safety. Read the message with your child and talk about it. Then take this safety sheet home and post it where everyone can see it.
It takes time to form a safety habit. Remind each other about these safety messages. Make safety a big part of your lives.

A German lawmaker says Parliament is close to passing a law explicitly banning bestiality after animal rights groups and tabloid newspapers pushed for existing legislation to be clarified.
Max Lehmer, a lawmaker with Chancellor Angela Merkel's governing coalition, said Wednesday after a meeting of Parliament's agriculture committee that the ban would make sex with animals punishable with a fine. A vote is expected in December.
Politicians took up the issue after it became clear a law banning cruelty to animals was not specific enough to prohibit the practice explicitly.
Berlin tabloid BZ started the debate in October, featuring a front-page photo of a man holding his dog with the headline "we call it sodomy, he calls it love."
Top-selling Bild, from the same publisher, then took up the cause.

BEIJING, Sept. 30 (UPI) -- Chinese citizens and cadres resolutely support the various actions taken against disgraced politician Bo Xilai, the official Xinhua News Agency said Monday.
Bo, the former head of the party in Chongqing and a rising political star before his downfall over a series of scandals that have rocked the country recently, was expelled last week from the Communist Party of China and also removed from public office by the Political Bureau of the party Central Committee. He could face charges of corruption.
Bo's wife, Gu Kailai, last month received a suspended death sentence in the poisoning death of British businessman Neil Heywood.
Issues related to Bo have come up at a time when the party, needing to maintain its image both at home and abroad, prepares for its once-in-a-decade change of leadership.
"There is conviction across China that the CPC Central Committee's handling of Bo's case reflected the CPC's clear stand and steadfast determination to fight corruption," Xinhua said.
"Cadres and citizens have vowed to concentrate on their work and wholeheartedly promote development, so as to prepare for the upcoming 18th CPC National Congress with perfect achievements."
Xinhua said those attending a meeting of the standing committee of the Chongqing Municipal Committee of the CPC last week "agreed that Bo's violations had caused negative consequences to the party and the country."
During the time he was the party boss in Chongqing, Bo had been popular, enjoying much local support.
"Cadres and citizens nationwide have vowed to take Bo's case as a lesson, work more vigorously and with a down-to-earth style and thus safeguard the stability of the overall social situation," Xinhua said.
In an editorial, The Washington Post, citing China's closed justice system and controlled media, said the "the high-profile expulsion of Mr. Bo only reinforces a sense that it is the party, and not the law, that reigns supreme."
The BBC said it is becoming increasingly difficult for the party to handle such issues secretly as the Internet has become a powerful means of communications among the public.
It quoted China's Global Times as saying: "China cannot expect to run anything, including politics, entirely smoothly. The frenzy of public opinion before the [party] congress may offer some materials for authorities to reflect on. Chaotic public opinion is a result of lack of information."

7.85in 'iPad Mini' said to sport retina screen
Like the iPad 3, just smaller
The 7.85in iPad will sport a "retina" display after all, it has been claimed, but will still come in at $200-250 retail.
We've heard rumours before that the so-called 'iPad Mini' will be cheaper than the current, 9.7in model, but thus far all such suggestions have come with the caveat that a low price will mean a low resolution display.
So most folks expect a 1024 x 768 screen like the iPad 2.
Not so, someone told website iMore. It'll be 2048 x 1536, just like the iPad 3. Alas, the site didn't say how its correspondent might know this for sure, so there's no reason to believe a word of it.
The claim could well be merely a guess. Assumption or no, it is a reasonable one. Apple now has a retina iPod Touch, iPhone and iPad - it would seem daft to leave any future iOS devices off the list.
Apple will save money, the mole says, by offering the cheapest, the more pocket-friendly iPad with just 8GB of storage. ®

This chapter provides the software procedures for administering the Oracle Solaris Cluster interconnects and public networks.
Administering the cluster interconnects and public networks consists of both hardware and software procedures. Typically, you configure the cluster interconnects and public networks, including Internet Protocol (IP) Network Multipathing groups, when you initially install and configure the cluster. Multipathing is installed automatically with the Oracle Solaris 11 OS, and you must enable it to use it. If you later need to alter a cluster interconnect network configuration, you can use the software procedures in this chapter. For information about configuring IP Network Multipathing groups in a cluster, see the section Administering the Public Network.
This chapter provides information and procedures for the following topics.
For a high-level description of the related procedures in this chapter, see Table 7-1 and Table 7-3.
Refer to the Oracle Solaris Cluster Concepts Guide for background and overview information about the cluster interconnects and public networks.

First, some bad news. I hurt my back over the weekend so I have to take it easy. I must limit how much time I spend on the computer, which will be difficult since I sit in front of a computer all day at work. Since I can't take time off from work, taking it easy really means cutting back on my internet surfing and blogging. I wish that taking it easy meant laying on a beach while sipping a fruity drink from a coconut shell.
But the good news is that I am extending the deadline for "Sugar High Friday 33: Tropical Paradise" submissions to Monday July 30th and I will post the round-up on Friday August 3rd.
Here are the details if you'd like to participate in this round of Sugar High Friday.
Whether you live in a tropical locale, are relaxed and tan from a recent tropical vacation, or just daydreaming of one, create something sweet and write about why it says "tropical" to you. Please post your Tropical Paradise creation on your blog by Monday July 30th.
And then email your submission to me at alpineberryshf [AT] yahoo {D0T} com
Please include the following information:
1. Your name and location

Say NO To Auto Book Review & Giveaway
One of the most common questions, or shall I say fears, that I hear from people is that they're terrified of putting their camera on manual.
That little M on the wheel. Yeah that. It seems to scare tons of people. And it used to scare me. But it doesn't have to.
Up until very recently I was scared of Manual, too.
But when I went to Food & Light, I forced myself to keep my camera on Manual for the entire trip and just Do It.
And I'm so happy I stepped way outside of my comfort zone and just took the Manual Plunge because look at this post with my favorite images from the workshop
And no, it's not always easy to shoot Manual!
I still have my challenging moments like at San Diego Cityfest this past weekend.
Extremely bright mid-day sunlight, lots of people, fast-paced action and trying to figure out how to get my pictures from being overexposed, in focus, and looking respectable was a big challenge!
My suggestions:
If you shoot Canon, don't be afraid to take your camera off P (full auto) and try out some Av (aperture priority) or Tv (shutter priority)
And when you're feeling brave, try M (manual)
I'm not sure what the corresponding letters are if you shoot Nikon but we all know what Manual means and how
to avoid it find it.
My next suggestion is Kristen Duke's book, Say NO To Auto
In just 17 pages, Kristen covered tons of information! She struck a wonderful balance of keeping the information simple and basic and without getting so technical that your eyes glaze over. Yet she didn't dumb things down, either.
I have posted before on how camera settings and numbers tend to be like 7th grade algebra class for me. Kristen's book gives you what you need to know in a very streamlined format.
She also gives real values and numbers for settings.
Most photography books or information you find online skirt around actually giving out settings and numbers by saying, well every situation is different and therefore it's impossible to give generic ISO or aperture/f stop or shutter speed settings. There are no universals so to speak.
I do agree with that to a point, and yes although every situation is different and as you progress in your photography and comfort level with your camera and shooting manual, you will tweak and adapt things on your own and won't follow a cheat sheet.
But when you are just starting out and trying to take the training wheels off and are ditching the Auto settings, sometimes a cheat sheet with real values is important.
Such as, if you're shooting one person vs. a group, the weather is sunny vs. cloudy, and you are shooting someone standing still vs. moving, this is a good jumping off place for your settings. <— worth it's weight in gold!
For that reason alone, buy this book!
Or buy it in e-book format!
Because the proof is in the pudding (unedited pictures using auto and using manual settings)
Look left, look right. Enough said.
For all the Point and Shoot users, or DSLR users who are scared of anything other than Auto, I want to reiterate this point which I have said many times in the past:
It's not about the camera you use so much as it's about:
(Food) Styling & Composition, i.e. setting up your shot
And not being afraid to try new things
All a DSLR is going to do is capture your efforts in higher resolution and detail. So make sure you're paying attention to the details; the way the shot is set up, staged, and composed before you get bogged down in anything else such as the settings on your camera.
I have lots of Photography Tips, Tricks, Book Reviews, Food Styling Tips, and more in my Photography Section.
But once you're ready to take the training wheels off and give Manual a try, you should buy the book! $10 for e-book or $20 for hardback
Want to try to Win a copy of the book?
To Enter the Giveaway:
1. If you shoot with a DSLR, do you shoot Manual? If not, why not? What is your biggest challenge/fear/hurdle with either shooting manually or with your photography in general?
Please be specific.
2. For a second entry, Twitter Follow Me and then tweet the following:
"I am Saying NO to Auto on my Camera and entered to win @LoveVeggiesYoga Book Giveaway http://tiny.cc/hg28x"
3. For a third, fourth, or fifth entry, do one or more of these things and leave a separate comment for each (that's five total chances to enter)
Facebook Like Me, Facebook Like Kristen Duke Photography, Subscribe to Kristen's RSS Feed/Put her blog in your Google Reader, Stumble Follow Me & Stumble It, Pinterest Follow Me, Instagram Follow Me, or post this Giveaway on your blog.
Contest will run until Friday, August 19, 2011 and winner will randomly be chosen and announced.
Open to All!

The Best of My Appearance with Shannon Bream
They were the virtues that were common to America. It's not the way our politics used to be, folks. This is the way our country used to be. Now, I want to take... In fact, building on that point a little bit, I want to go to the Shannon Bream interview. I was remiss in not telling you about it. I agreed to do it Tuesday morning. Essentially how this came about, Snerdley says, "Hey, Shannon Bream wants to do a phoner with you after the show for like six minutes." "Okay, a phoner? If that's all it is, doesn't have to take 10 hours to set the place up, fine."
So I agree to do a six-minute phoner. (interruption) Well, that's what you said when... (interruption) You were not lying to me? (interruption) You were not lying to me to set me up? I didn't think so. So they said a six-minute phoner. So I agreed to the six-minute phoner, and within minutes I get an email from Shannon Bream herself saying, "Rush, my audience will shoot me if I don't show them your face. We've got to use a camera. Maybe we can use your Dittocam." So I said, "Okay, what's this? Here we are, setup specialty No. 5, and I fall for it yet again!"
So I start wondering who's behind it. Then I got hold of Scott and I said, "Okay, let's see if we can rig the Dittocam to have enough bandwidth to feed them up there without having to set up a whole studio here with lights and cameras like they usually do." We made that work. So I did the interview with Shannon Bream. It was on tape but was made to appear live. It was live to tape, meaning it wasn't edited. But we did it right after the program, and it was the way television should be done!
From start to finish, it was over in 10, 15 minutes (laughing), not 10-to-15 hours, or two-to-three hours. So here are the highlights of it. Because it was not certain how this was gonna happen, I didn't promote it during the program. So Fox was promoting it, but I'm sorry, I forgot to mention it to you. It was Tuesday night, and what Cookie's done here is just put together the best of comments. It's about 2-1/2 minutes it runs here, because Shannon was good. She asked a question; let me answer it. Asked other question; let me answer it.
There's a gem in here that just happened to come out of me. It just happened to flow out of me here when I was in the answer that I'll point it to you when we finish.
RUSH: Well, Shannon, it was a different time. It was a different time. In '92 it was a different time than '42, but '92 is closer to '42 than '92 is to today in terms of the definitions of public morality and values. And you nailed it. The one thing… I mean, I was raised this way. You do not brag. You do not brag about yourself. Even if you can do it, you don't do it. It's not becoming. It's unseemly to do so. And the Bushes, if anything, were that.
And you're right. They had a belief that the office was bigger than the man. George W. Bush, I routinely asked him, "Why are you not fighting back against some of these just insidious personal insults?" He said, "Because I'm not going to sully the office and take it down to the gutter of where politics is today." And I said, "But you're letting down a lot of people that voted for you." But that's just the way they were raised — and not bragging and not talking about things that you had done.
I think in those days, Shannon, it was thought that those great achievements and accomplishments would speak for you, that they would be part of how you were publicly known. But against the media onslaught to disparage that, to criticize it, to ignore it, the public had no chance. The public that was young enough not to remember World War II had no recollection of that George Bush whatsoever, and so they were never going to learn it because he wasn't going to tout it. ...
And Bob Dole today… This was just… It had me spellbound. The man cannot stand. He literally cannot walk. He is glued to his wheelchair. And he willed himself to stand up. He had an aide helping him, propping him up under his arms — and you could see the determination on his face. He was going to stand. He was going to defy the impossibility that he cannot do it. He defied impossibility and stood up for the barest of seconds and saluted with his left hand and then collapsed back to his wheelchair. And in that moment, said more about that generation — about respect, about honor, about integrity. That little piece.
I hope everybody has a chance to see that, because Bob Dole was totally incapable of doing what he did today, and yet he did it.
RUSH: Now, the part about that that most people don't know is that Bob Dole and George H. W. Bush had one heck of a very, very deep rivalry. It was mostly political. Some of it was personal. It was. Dole always felt slighted. He was a war hero. In fact, he lost the use of his arm. He was a ground-troop war hero, and he never got any for it, never got any accolades. Nobody ever raised hell about it like they did with George Bush getting shot down. They battled over who was gonna run the RNC.
They ran over who led the Republican Party. They battled over a number of things. Bob Dole showing up at the rotunda, Statuary Hall, to do what he did, not being able to do it... You've heard about the World War II generation be called the Greatest Generation. That act was typical of who they were. Bob Dole... There was no way Bob Dole was gonna fall back on, "Everybody knows I can't stand up." He was not gonna fall back on, "Everybody knows I can't salute. Everybody knows that I can't; they'll know I would if I could. That doesn't get it done."
Thinking you could do it -- understanding that if you could do it you would -- doesn't get it done. You have to do it! If you can't stand on your own out of a wheelchair, you have somebody stand you up -- and if you can only stand for a split second before collapsing, then you do it! Because that's what the situation calls for. That's what duty and honor mean. You do it. You don't rely on everybody thinking you could and thinking you would if only you could. You do it, and you could see on Dole's face...
I saw many things on his face. I saw the deep sense of honor and respect. I saw the defiance. He defied the impossible. He overcame it and did it, even for less than a second. He was unable to do it on his own. He demanded that his aide lift him out of there. His aide didn't want to do it. You could tell the aide felt uncomfortable. The aide... He couldn't stand on his own. He let go for a split second. Dole got the salute up and immediately collapsed back into the chair with the help of the aide.
When he got back down to the chair, he was out of breath. But you could tell that he had written all over face "mission accomplished." In that, we saw real honor, real commitment, profound respect for a long-held rival. They never became the best of friends. They were united by virtue of party and purpose that being members of the same party represented. But there was always a reason. Bob Dole from Kansas, middle class, never had a lot of money.
George H.W. Bush, patrician, Northeastern, every advantage in the book, even though he threw it all the way and went to Odessa, Texas, to start from scratch in the oil business. Bob Dole always felt like he was the same quality guy, as good a man as George Bush was, just never got the same kind of respect. But in George Bush's death, Bob Dole triumphed. Now, her question to me that got this answer started. She said, "e've heard so much about the Bush family being very modest in saying, 'It's not all about you.
"'Don't go out there and be bragging about yourself,' to the point that Andrew Ferguson — who obviously was a speechwriter for Bush 41 during the '92 campaign — lamented the fact that this guy was a World War II hero, but now that he was facing off against this young, upstart Southern governor, they" wouldn't talk about it. Bush wouldn't talk about it, wouldn't allow it to be discussed. Therefore, Bush wouldn't let his people draw the contrast -- World War II hero -- to this philandering guy out here. You know, this southern Huckster from Arkansas.
His speechwriters and others got very frustrated that Bush would not let them draw the contrast. Because in Bush World, the contrast should have spoken for itself. In Bush's world, your achievements spoke for you -- and if you had to tell people about 'em, they may as well not have happened. That was just the value. By the way, I was raised with the same stuff. Another one was: You never, ever talk about money. Never. It isn't done. That's out the window now. Everybody and their uncle talks about money, and especially their own -- as in how much.
But the Bush family and that generation, if you had to sing your own praises, then you may not have had any at all. They should speak for you. Meaning others should take note, but you can't be the one to talk about it. So he didn't allow it to happen. In that sense, you know, Bush, World War II, 1940 to '45, I made the point that in 1992 when Bush was running for reelection, 1992 America was much closer to 1940s America in terms of values, culture, and morality, than 1992 is to present day America.
Present day America has so little in common with 1992 America that it's stark. So little of 1992 America survives in terms of culture, virtue, decency. But in the 50 years between the 1940s and 1992, it wasn't that big a drop-off, and that's what George Bush found himself up against, and clearly, was at a crossroads as to how to deal with it and how to portray it. One more from Shannon Bream. This was, again, on the Tuesday night interview, and I think that's pretty much... Did this wrap it up? It may have. Yeah. This is the next bite...
BREAM: Well, may President George H.W. Bush bring out the best in all of us across the spectrum as we honor him this week. Rush, thank you so much for sharing your insights and your memories. We really appreciate it.
RUSH: You know, if I was Barack Obama, I'd be really upset, Shannon. All this talk about George Bush being the last days of civility? If I were Obama, I'd say, "What about me? You know, I was civil. I was a nice guy, sophisticated. I was the smartest guy in the room. Why are they going back and honoring this guy?" If I were Obama, I'd be worried.
BREAM: Hmmm.
RUSH: Maybe the media is forgetting him.
BREAM: Not so fast, I don't think, Rush.
RUSH: (laughing)
BREAM: Thank you!
RUSH: (laughing)
BREAM: Great to see you.
RUSH: I had to get that in.
BREAM: (laughing)
And we gotta get this in.

What to get a Twi-Hard for Christmas
This is the new cover of In Touch. Can you make it come true? Because that's what every Twi-Hard wants for Christmas. F-ck the economy, poverty, disease, f-ck it all as long as Kristen Stewart marries Robert Pattinson. Just like Bella married Edward (in a wedding scene that lasted over half an hour, they still don't have a proper editor).
But, but, but, is it true, is it true, is it true? The source is In Touch Weekly, so we are not having this conversation. There is no way that In Touch f-cking Weekly would have the goods on these two over anyone else, although I'm very much looking forward to seeing how In Touch's bullsh-t Twilight cover will do against a pregnant Kardashian on Us Weekly. As for how Stewart and Pattinson really are, why is it when it comes to Twi-Hards, they need an update on the love every five minutes? The word fine seems to expire for them very, very quickly. Let's throw them in the couples discussion today during the Live Blog. 3pm ET/Noon PT.
