Rave life: pulsing music, fluorescent colors, oh-so-much glitter, dancing until the sun comes up. The picture is almost complete, except one thing is missing. Of course: JNCO jeans. For more than 20 years, JNCO has been king when it comes to raver jeans, and nothing has changed. To this day, JNCO is the go-to brand for men's raver jeans and women's raver jeans.
What are rave jeans?
Raver jeans are typically wide leg pants. They are ideal wear for dancing, partying, and raving. They are also eye-catching and quite unlike other jeans you might wear. Whereas typical jeans have leg openings of 10" or so, raver jeans have leg openings of 20"+ or wider, even up to 50".
Rave pants, also known as phat pants or parachute pants, have a telltale style. They sit comfortably on the hips and then get wider, flaring out toward the bottom. Rave jeans can have an understated design, or they can be quite wild and unexpected in terms of stitching, pocket design, graphics, and other elements.
JNCO Men's Raver Jeans
The crown jewel of the JNCO raver collection are the Crime Scenes in black denim with 50" leg openings and an outrageous chalk body sketch embroidered on the lower right pocket. The Kangaroos in dark stone wash with 32" leg openings have a feisty Kangaroo embroidered on the back pocket, while the Mammoths in mid stone wash denim have a dope Mammoth logo and pockets deep enough to fit a tablet.
JNCO Men's Raver Pants
If you prefer the look and feel of cotton twill, we also have raver pants. Our Kangaroo Twill Pants in khaki and navy and Mammoth Twill Pants in khaki and navy are perfect for those rad summer raves…and pretty much every other scenario.
JNCO Men's Raver Shorts
Finally, we round out the collection with JNCO Equalizer Shorts. These raver shorts are perfect for anyone who's got a feel for the beat and loves to hit up the EDM scene. Are you about to cause some treble?
JNCO Women's Raver Jeans
Raise your hand if you love a good rave! You'll look fly as hell with our heritage rave pants, including JNCO Solid States in a dark stone wash with 34" leg openings and Black Hypnotix in black denim with 32" leg openings.
We are always adding new items to our rave jean collection, so check back on a regular basis to see what's new.
If you'd like to learn more about any of our rave jeans, just click one of the product images to browse the product page. There you can view more images, read an in-depth product description, get sizing, shipping, and return information, and read reviews from real customers.

What is a stroke or TIA?
Download this video (.mp4) [75Mb, ZIP]
What is a stroke?
A stroke happens when the blood supply to part of the brain is interrupted. As a result brain cells get less of the oxygen and nutrients that they need. Some brain cells can become damaged and others can die.
There are two types of stroke:
- Ischaemic stroke – this type of stroke occurs when a blood clot blocks one of the arteries which carries blood to the brain. About 85 in every 100 strokes are ischaemic.
- Haemorrhagic stroke – this type of stroke occurs as a result of bleeding within or around the brain from a burst blood vessel. Approximately 15 in every 100 strokes are haemorrhagic.
What is a transient ischaemic attack (TIA)?
A transient ischaemic attack is similar to a stroke, but the symptoms don't last as long. A TIA can last for anything from minutes to hours, but symptoms do not last longer than 24 hours.
You should never ignore the symptoms of a TIA. They might be warning signs of a stroke, which could be avoidable with treatment. Even if symptoms are mild and pass quickly you should seek medical advice.

|Adrian Wojnarowski on M&M: Celtics 'going to look at everything' regarding trade possibilities
|01.28.13 at 12:03 pm ET
Yahoo! Sports writer Adrian Wojnarowski joined Mut & Merloni on Monday morning to weigh in on the Celtics following Rajon Rondo's season-ending injury.
Wojnarowski said the C's prospects for the postseason haven't changed that much. "This is still probably a first-round loser in the Eastern Conference playoffs," he said.
However, the C's could decide to make some changes to the roster. Rumors around the web have the Celtics interested in Magic sharpshooter J.J. Redick and Raptors guard Kyle Lowry. Wojnarowski said neither of those players would make much sense for the C's, because Boston would have to give up too much — likely including first-round draft picks.
"They're not giving away picks right now — maybe if Rondo was still around, possibly," Wojnarowski said. "Danny [Ainge] said it to me yesterday, and it's true: Picks are hard to come by. People don't want to trade them anymore. '¦ I just don't see Boston giving away picks right now — to do what? Maybe somebody could make them better, but you're mortgaging your future a little bit if you start giving away picks for a player who might able to help you win a couple of regular-season games and at best maybe a playoff game, if even that. I'd be surprised if Boston started to do that and gave away pieces of their future for a stopgap for the rest of the year."
As an alternative, the Celtics could sell off a star like Paul Pierce or Kevin Garnett in an attempt to rebuild.
"I think it's possible and I think there is a chance," Wojnarowski said. "And I talked to Ainge about this yesterday, I talked to Doc [Rivers] about it. It gets back to the fact of, you can't just do it for the sake of doing it. People say let's blow it up, get rid of KG, get rid of Pierce and 'start over.' But you've got to remember that you have owners who still see the place is full every night. And maybe they can get in the playoffs, and the [revenue from] playoff games. Versus dumping these guys for what might be very modest returns.
"It's one thing when you have a Carmelo Anthony and a Dwight Howard and you do the deals Orlando and Denver did, where you got good young players, you got draft picks. '¦ KG and Pierce are aging All-Stars in the mid- to upper 30s. People in this league anymore aren't giving you young players and picks for those guys. So, like Danny said, tell me what the offer's going to be. We can't just say, hey, we're going to 'blow this up' and start over. What will the offer be? Tell me what we'll have the opportunity to do and then we'll look at it. But you can't just go into it and say, 'Well, this is definitely what we're going to do,' because there may not be a deal out there that's worth doing for those guys.
"But there's no question they're going to look at everything; they've been looking at everything. Danny's not afraid to have a discussion about all his players. He's always done it, to see what they're value is. But I don't think there's any big deal out there where Boston's going to get a great young player or one or two good first-round picks for either of those guys."
Another rumor has Pierce going to the Grizzlies, Rudy Gay going from Memphis to the Lakers, and Pau Gasol going from Los Angeles to Boston.
"I've heard about that deal for days, I've asked about it, and I haven't found anybody who's given yet any credence to it. '¦ For the Celtics, giving up Pierce to get Gasol? Obviously they have a problem in the middle, there's no question he could help them go back to being a grinding low-post team. But it's a lot of money for Boston to take on going forward by bringing in Gasol — two years, [$]40 million. I guess we'd have to see if ownership would be willing to take on that much money and if they think that would put them over the top. To me, that deal makes them a little different; I don't know if it makes them significantly better."

|Ray Allen: 'I didn't expect to get booed the whole time'
|01.27.13 at 11:52 pm ET
All the mind games Ray Allen went through in an effort to get ready for returning to Boston couldn't prepare him for what he experienced Sunday each and every time he touched the basketball.
'I didn't know what to expect," Allen said. "The one thing I was gonna do is come into it and just focus on being prepared and getting the guys ready that were playing, that were starting the game. Early game is always tough regardless of the circumstances. I didn't expect to get booed the whole time, throughout the game, that I touched the ball. That was interesting.'
The day was the definition of surreal for Allen. There was walking into the visitors' locker room for the first time since he was with Seattle in 2007.
'It was very weird. And then going to the other locker room. It's been a long time since I've been on that side of the hallway, and again, it was an adjustment. The whole year's been an adjustment being in Miami after being in Boston for so long, so ya, it was definitely a weird feeling for me.'
There was the video tribute in the first timeout, when he was still on the bench. There were the boos reining down mixed with a standing ovation. And then there was the news breaking during the game of his former backcourt teammate Rajon Rondo out for the season with a torn ACL in his right knee. Ironic, considering how the two former teammates didn't exactly end things on the best of terms in Boston.
He did appreciate the video tribute.
'When you see something like that, you know when I saw it, just all those emotions came streaming back from all the great things we did here, and that's why I say I'll always remember the big games we played in and won, and I always know I'll always be a Celtic in my mind, regardless of what anyone else says."
As for the Rondo news, Allen was short and to the point.
'I didn't know until we got out onto the floor and he wasn't out on the floor," he said. "That was unfortunate.'
He was asked how difficult it will be for Celtics without Rondo.

Paul Pierce hit the go-ahead jumper with 30.4 seconds left in double-overtime and earned a triple-double with 17 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists as the Celtics snapped their six-game losing streak with a heart-pounding 100-98 win over the Heat Sunday at TD Garden. It was Boston's second straight double-overtime game.
LeBron James scored a game-high 34 points and forced overtime with a clutch 3-pointer while Ray Allen had 21 off the bench in his first return to Boston since leaving for Miami as a free agent, and help the Heat rally in the final minute of regulation. The Heat fell to 28-13.
Kevin Garnett scored a team-high 24 points and grabbed 11 rebounds for the Celtics, who could not protect a four-point lead in the final minute of regulation but managed to improve to 21-23 on the season.
The game was played under a cloud for the Celtics, as they found out in the second half that Rajon Rondo tore the ACL in his right knee and was done for the season. Rondo returned in the third quarter and watched the rest of the game from just behind the Celtics bench.
With Courtney Lee starting for Rondo and Jared Sullinger in the starting lineup, the Celtics stayed close in the first quarter, trailing by just four, 26-24, after 12 minutes. The Celtics managed to stay close in the second and forged a 45-45 tie.
WIth news breaking in the third quarter that Rondo had a torn ACL in his right knee and was done for the season, the Celtics managed to put up a fight taking a three-point lead. Garnett's jumper 16 seconds into the second half gave Boston its first lead since early in the first quarter. Boston built the lead to 60-57 before Miami finished the period on a 11-4 run to take a 68-64 lead into the fourth.
Jeff Green drilled a three from the left baseline to bring the Celtics within one, 72-71, and then after James missed a three, Leandro Barbosa put back a miss to give the Celtics a 73-72 lead with 8:26 left in the fourth. Green's one-handed slam over Chris Bosh with 7:48 left sent the Garden crowd into a frenzy and put the Celtics up, 75-72.
Pierce drove in for a go-ahead layup with just under six minutes left. Allen connected for a three with 4:38 left to put the Heat up, 78-77, and grabbed a rebound off a Pierce miss moments later. Jason Terry responded with a 15-foot step-back jumper to put Boston back up, 79-78, with just over four minutes left. James responded with a 12-foot fadeaway with three minutes left, putting Miami ahead, 80-79.
Garnett hit a pair of free throws with 2:40 left to put Boston back ahead, 81-80. Allen was fouled by Pierce with 2:19 remaining and Allen converted only one of two for an 81-81 tie. Pierce drove to the basket on a spinning move with 1:59 left to put Boston up, 83-81. After a missed three from Shane Battier, Garnett hit a mid-range jumper with 59.9 seconds left to give the Celtics their biggest lead, 85-81. Read the rest of this entry »
|Carmelo Anthony: Kevin Garnett feud 'overrated,' Celtics crowd 'kind of quiet' and Knicks win 'satisfying'
|01.25.13 at 1:54 am ET
Even before Celtics superstar Kevin Garnett and Knicks counterpart Carmelo Anthony's pregame fist bump, Boston's Garden security starved the crowd of any further beef between the two NBA All-Star Game teammates, confiscating enough Honey Nut Cheerios paraphernalia to fill the rink for Friday's Bruins game.
Of course, you'll remember Anthony confronted Garnett at his team bus after the C's defeated the Knicks, 102-96, in New York on Jan. 7. Rumors suggested KG told Melo his wife La La "tasted like Honey Nut Cheerios" — a claim all parties involved since denied — but Anthony earned a one-game suspension for his postgame antics.
"I think it was overrated," said Anthony. "I think people just blew it up for no reason. They were just kind of waiting to see what was going to happen, but it's sports. That's what happens in sports.
On Thursday night, Anthony finally got his revenge, scoring 28 points, grabbing nine rebounds and dealing one of his three assists to teammate J.R. Smith for the dagger in an 89-86 "satisfying" victory in Boston.
"It was kind of quiet today for the most part," Anthony said of a Garden crowd that NBA on TNT announcer Marv Albert accused of being artificially enhanced during the broadcast. "I was expecting there to be boos and a real hostile environment tonight, but it was cool for the most part."
|Wasted chance: Knicks beat Celtics despite triple-double from Rajon Rondo
|01.24.13 at 10:35 pm ET
Carmelo Anthony scored 28 points to lead the Knicks over the Celtics, 89-86, Thursday night at TD Garden. Rajon Rondo had 23 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists in collecting his 27th career triple-double and his fourth this season for the Celtics, who lost their fifth straight. The Celtics lost five straight twice last season before rallying at the end of the season for a 37-29 record and the Atlantic Division title.
They might not be as lucky this season, as the Atlantic-leading Knicks improved to 26-14, seven games ahead of the 20-22 Celtics in the division.
There were no war of words or trash-talking incidents between Kevin Garnett and Anthony, who greeted each other with a fist-pound at the beginning of the game. Anthony even helped Garnett up from the floor after Garnett hit the deck early in the third quarter.
The Celtics managed a 24-20 lead after one quarter, despite shooting just 10-of-26 (38.5 percent) from the field. The Knicks started the second quarter on fire, opening on a 9-0 run and scoring 11 of the first 12 points in the period to take a 31-25 lead. But the Celtics answered as Paul Pierce started to dominate.
The Celtics went on a 15-3 run to take a 40-34 lead. The Knicks rebounded and managed a 50-48 halftime lead on a pair of free throws with 7.1 seconds left by Amar'e Stoudemire. Rondo missed a layup just before the buzzer that would've tied the game. Still Doc Rivers pounded his fist in the air and appeared happy with his team's effort.
Rivers was particularly pleased with the fact that the Celtics held Anthony to just 4-for-13 shooting in the first 24 minutes. Read the rest of this entry »
|Doc Rivers reiterates: 'I have to figure out a way'
|at 8:10 pm ET
Celtics head coach Doc Rivers said before Thursday night's game with the Knicks that he still believes his team has what it takes to overcome the doldrums that have seen his team lose four straight after winning six in a row.
Rivers was asked if he had any changes in store for a big weekend of basketball that includes the Knicks, Hawks and Heat on Sunday.
"Let's hope we don't [have to make changes],' Rivers said. "If we start playing better then you don't, obviously. If you don't [start playing better], then we have to do something at some point. Again, I think we have what we need in the locker room. I'm just not getting it out of them and I have to figure out a better way of getting it out of them."
Rivers also said he hopes his team is inspired by the Kevin Garnett–Carmelo Anthony incident the last time the two teams met in New York, a 102-96 Boston win. Anthony was held to 20 points on 6-of-26 shooting from the field.
After getting into a confrontation late in the fourth quarter, Anthony tried to meet with Garnett in front of the Celtics locker room and then in front of the Celtics team bus before Madison Square Garden security and police intervened.
Carmelo Anthony says he's moved on from the Kevin Garnett confrontation, but apparently his agent has not. According to the New York Post, the Players Association — after talking with Anthony's agent, Leon Rose — filed an appeal to recoup the $176,000 Anthony lost as part of his one-game suspension.
The appeal is based on the fact that the Jan. 7 incident consisted only of verbal sparring.
"In light of the circumstances that it was not a physical confrontation, the suspension seemed excessive," Players Association attorney Ron Klempner told the paper.
As per the collective bargaining agreement rules for one-game suspensions, Anthony was fined 1/110th of his $19.5 million salary.
Anthony and the Knicks are in Boston for a Thursday night game against the Celtics, their first meeting since the confrontation.

Nice park at the top of the hill with mostly level, gravel-lined sites. Rangers were very helpful and loan out extension cords (with a deposit). Electrical panels in Canada can be nearly 100' from your RV. Sites here were better geared for large fifth wheel trailers than many in Ontario. Trees were trimmed more for our height and width. Nice walking paths that are used for skiers in winter. Falls are beautiful with a great boardwalk. Variety of things to do in Thunder Bay. - JBick
Oct 2015 - $40.00
The park was typical of state and provincial parks, i.e. long on beautiful trees and beautiful sites and short on conveniences. It is close to the falls and the really nice walking trails. At night it was very quiet and dark and the stars were abundant. - mountainfan
Aug 2015 - $40.00
Campsite large, need at least 75 feet of cord. Trees along all roads low and could gouge your roof, corners are especially tight. Some site good for large rv with slides but many not. Constant traffic along all roads with many speeding, no one around to warn people of speed. Many sites seem to have multiple families on them so cars do poke out onto road. Washroom lights on timer; they do go out while in there. Showers have no control for temp and you have to press button at least 8 times for complete shower. - too tall

This is a tired, needs loving care, typical old Canadian RV park. The store and entrance of the park are fine, staff friendly but as you enter the RV site area you notice that a lot of the shrubs, bushes and trees need to be either removed or trimmed back. Has a good location right on HWY 11-17. A little TLC would greatly improve this park. - Mike McClelland

Nice park but not worth the $45 price. Clean facilities, good roads, easy access for a 36' motorhome. Good wifi and pick your site carefully for satellite. The staff is courtesy but not very warm and welcoming. - Coy R

Stayed here for 4 nights. Very clean restrooms and showers. It seems most people who come here use it as an overnight stop. Not a bad place, but the sites are small so not really much space for having people sit around the fire ring (which you have to obtain from an out building). Quiet place to stay, no complaints at all. - Bob806

Reservation for the powered sites during summer. Pay at campground at museum office, after hours there is a cash box. Power 115 volts stable. Sewer only at a Dump Station, easily accessible. The site has open areas for kid to play. Big Rig friendly. Convenient to Fort William Museum and fort. There are shuttles to take you to the fort or can walk a wilderness pathway to the fort. - wearecanadian

Very convenient to city of Thunder Bay (20 min). Located right on the grounds of Fort Williams Historical Park. Watch out for goose droppings as you walk the manicured lawn near the boat launch. Very quiet, on residential neighborhood. - rvYoungster16
Jul 2016 - $39.00
Fee cited is in Canadian dollars. Nicely landscaped campground in easy walking distance to Fort William Historical Site. Two sites share a water/power post but good spaces between pairs of rigs. Picnic table and fire pit for each site but hard to figure out whose was whose. Very open with lawns throughout. Nice breezes in the afternoons. Great to have 50 amp power. Our post had only one water spigot so need a splitter. Best free WiFi we've had in ages. Dump station nearby and easy to access. Only negatives were washrooms and showers very poorly maintained. And, remember to have mosquito repellent! Check in at on site Visitors centre on arrival for camping package. - Darleen

Very nice park, everything looks like new. Spacious, level pull through sites, no privacy in lack of any trees though. Good hookups, excellent washrooms. The dump station is on the way out, easy to access. Wi-Fi only at the office but it's fast and reliable there. Our rating reflects value for money, we feel the price to be a little ambitious. However, we liked the place for being far from any traffic and we had a good night's sleep here. Also it's convenient to explore Thunder Bay's attractions. The paved road to the park is pretty bumpy but we would stay again at Chippewa when in the area. - TheSchweitzers
Jul 2011 - $33.00
The RV portion of the park is only a few years old but already shows signs of disrepair. All facilities need a good cleaning. Wi-Fi is only available near the office. I didn't count the tent sites as they are not well marked and could range from 10-20 to many more if people were together. We would however, stay again if in the area as it is the most convenient park in the area. For those with kids they have an amusement park, wildlife park and other activities. - lrp374

Sites were not cleaned regularly. Noisy campers and barking dogs were not controlled after hours although the day employee was excellent and visited offenders. Entrance road is very rough with large holes in pavement. - camperme
Jul 2006 - $23.00
This campground lies on the north side of the city right on the Current River. Right off the Trans Canada Highway. It is in the middle of a boreal forest so there is abundant shade everywhere. Site are spacious but bring along adapters and extension cord as electricity is in odd locations. One section appears to be getting a 30amp upgrade with water at convenient plugs. Some sites could use levelling. Good TV reception of local channels. On site manager friendly and efficient. City crews do a good job maintaining we always saw them working during the day. Beware of Bears though, as they can visit at night. Falls are great for wading (they are only 3 feet high max) in dry weather. Watch out after rains though. Trails to Cascades in one direction and Centennial Park in the other. Not very crowded during mid week but people we did meet were pleasant. - cakehead

Jul 2016 - $52.00
Very busy campground. There are many seasonal campers. Some sites were cluttered and some were very neat. The staff was very helpful. We noticed a lot of planned activities for the campers. We stayed in this park to visit with friends in the area for a few days. - pasco1215
Jul 2016 - $54.00
KOAs are not our first choice, as we are two adults traveling months at time in a big rig. We generally are not seeking the family-friendly amenities at a KOA. And generally we find that they are overpriced, for our requirements.
However, in some cases, they are the only campground with big rig sites (50 amp).
That said, this is one of the nicest ones we've been in. The big rig sites were well laid out and more than adequate in terms of length. They were satellite friendly, and level.
The folks were very nice here, the location convenient to the highway.
We even broke down and played putt-putt golf one afternoon! - MerBee

Pensions minister Steve Webb is warning companies that the increasing use of cash incentives to persuade people to give up valuable pension rights smacks of bad practice and should be curbed.
The government's disapproval of this growing practice, where members in final salary pension schemes are offered superficially attractive cash payments to transfer their pension pots into less generous schemes, or to give up certain future benefits, will be made clear to key pension industry players at a private meeting this week.
Webb says he is particularly concerned about cases where, for example, vulnerable individuals are being offered cash lump sums just before Christmas to transfer out of a company's defined benefit scheme, which guarantees how much pension they will get in retirement, into a less generous defined contribution scheme where their eventual pension is uncertain and depends on stockmarket performance.
He is also angered by cash offers to retire early in exchange for reduced inflation protection that could result in the individual's pension purchasing power being reduced by 20%-25% after 20 years.
Webb said: "I am very concerned that people are making the wrong choices about their pensions and are missing out on substantial amounts of retirement cash. With one in six of us set to live to 100 and the average person spending 24 years in retirement, mistakenly stepping into a less generous pension scheme could mean missing out on thousands of pounds in retirement.
"We urgently need to make sure we root bad practice out of the market. The industry can't go on offering superficially attractive deals to people that ultimately leave them badly out of pocket."
The Pensions Regulator, the watchdog for work-based schemes, has also been looking at the issue and says pension transfers are an extremely difficult financial equation, and most people find it impossible to understand their options without help.
"The offer might look attractive, particularly with cash as an incentive, but poorly-informed decisions are likely to be regretted years later," chief executive Bill Galvin said. "We believe such offers won't be in most members' best interests and have pointed out that employers run significant risks in offering incentives to members to transfer out of defined benefit schemes."
The regulator recently ruled that employers who make such pension transfer offers to current and ex-staff must make independent and impartial financial advice available to them – and must pay for this advice. It also made clear that "no pressure of any sort should be placed on members to make a decision to accept the offer".
The concern is, however, that the complexity of the financial decisions involved, coupled with the lure of a cash lump sum upfront, means many people make the wrong choice even when independent financial advice is on offer. Webb says there is evidence that a high proportion of people advised to not take a pension transfer offer will ignore that advice.
But Webb has drawn a line at putting an outright ban on pension incentive practices because there are a minority of cases where people will benefit from accepting a cash offer to give up certain rights.
"Someone who is very ill, for example, who may not have a very long retirement may be better off taking the cash, or perhaps someone who thinks their company will go to the wall shortly may do better with the cash, so we are not going to ban [pension incentive offers] completely," Webb said. "But we have to get rid of the bad practice of people making complicated decisions with financial inducements when they really are not in a position to do that."

Our global Product Safety team is responsible for assessing, documenting and communicating Health, Safety and Environmental (HSE), and regulatory information regarding our products.
We operate a worldwide product stewardship program that aims to make health, safety, and environmental protection an integral part of the development, manufacture, distribution, use, recycling, and disposal of all our products.
The product stewardship effort begins with a cross-functional team evaluation and prioritization of each product or product group according to the level of risk. This is determined using hazard and exposure ratings. Product hazards are intrinsic characteristics with the potential to cause harm such as flammability, corrosivity, reactivity, and toxicity. Product exposure describes the potential contact between a product and people or the environment; which is dependent upon the type of packaging, distribution, sales volume, the number of customers and their control systems, and the product applications. For each risk category, specific risk management practices and requirements have been identified, and are reviewed on a regular basis.
We work closely with our suppliers, carriers, distributors and customers to help them maintain high safety and environmental standards; providing technical assistance, training and logistic support as well as health, safety and environmental advice.
We also participate in the worldwide Global Product Strategy (GPS) program which is a voluntary initiative championed by the International Council of Chemical Associations (ICCA) which aims to improve the safety of chemical products during their use and handling.
The LyondellBasell Product Safety team communicates widely about our products and risks providing
more than 50,000 Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) annually,
more than 25,000 Product Stewardship Bulletins issued annually providing information including regulatory clearances for our products and their end uses, and
ICCA Global Product Strategy Safety Summaries, providing plain language summaries of product safety information.
As part of our commitment to the Responsible Care program, we have worked closely with other American Chemistry Council (ACC) members to develop a new Responsible Care Product Safety Code. This new code is incorporated into our Operational Excellence Product Stewardship Standard.

The first time she had catched this paticular bus by mistake,today she was looking for the confort one finds in the presence of strangers.
At work the day that had started badly, finished in a more sour note.
"What came over me?How could i have quit like that?"Fear had started to setlle in,the normal question one ask themselfs when face with day to day shores.
It was the midlle of the afternoon,and you could see mothers running around trying to keep the kids close to them while crossing the street,all this Andrea saw thru the window of the bus.
A few more stops to go,and then she would be home.
In her mind she went over what had happen today,nothing out of the ordinary.As she entered the building were she worked a sense of sadness still remained for this morning jorney to work,seing all those unfamiliar faces made her question herself.Going on thirthy and what had she acomplished?A 9 to 5 job that did not bring any satisfation ,but paid bills,a boyfriend she barely saw,and did not love?
Thinking back ,maybe quiting had been decided from the moment she reached her floor and the first face she sees is her boss.
Now one stop away from her house,Andrea questions herself not why had she quit but where did she go from here.
"Maybe tomorrow i can take this bus again"As she steps away from the curbe,and looks to see the highlights of the bus fade away in the distance,she feels better about herself.

I have a new friend that moved here not too long ago…her name is Jaime.…and she was a blog reader
who reached out to me when she and her family decided to uproot themselves to Kauai.
I love when people do things like that.
try something different.
They found a place on the South side of the island….and so it's hard getting together because
it's a good hour and a half for either of us. This week one of Jamie's friends was in town visiting….
who's also a blog reader of mine….so we all decided to meet up for lunch.
We met at The Garden Cafe….at Common Ground. It's in Kilauea….and if you follow me on Instagram…
you know that i eat here at least every other week.
They have the Kalua pork nachos.
{no words needed}
I'll be doing a whole post on this place soon….i promise.
Anyhoo…..we were sitting there and i turned around to a group of girls…
high-schoolers i'm sure….
and i asked one of them to take our photo with my phone.
This is the first photo:
She took it and then said she should probably get on the other side of the table because
the photo just didn't come out very well.
I thought…..good call….she's probably a budding photographer….
and she knows all about catching the "right" angles.
I almost….and i mean ALMOST….
gave her the "two fingers up" i've read the Hunger Games sign…..
but i wasn't having any wine with my lunch….because they don't serve wine with lunch….
and because i didn't have any wine…..i'm kind of glad i didn't give her the "sign".
This is the second photo she took:
and before i knew it she took another photo
{still thinking she was a budding photographer while she continued to manipulate my iphone}
the moral of the story is….
don't ask girls who look like they should be in school at noon on a Friday but are not……
to take your photo.
The end.

United Russia alone is associated with unpopular decisions.
Amendments to the 2009 budget were adopted by the Duma on April 15 simultaneously with endorsement of the Cabinet's anti-crisis program. United Russia, political party all but controlling the lower house of the parliament, voted for the anti-crisis program. Political monitories (CPRF, LDPR, Fair Russia) voted against it. Neither had these three political parties backed the new version of the 2009 budget during the first reading on April 6.
United Russia leader Boris Gryzlov was enraged by other factions' reluctance to back the anti-crisis action plan and called it "a challenge" and attempt "to rock political stability". "All political forces should be consolidated while we are fighting consequences of the global crisis and while the situation in the country is problematic," Gryzlov said and once again condemned efforts "to rock the boat by voting against."
That was surely an exaggeration on Gryzlov's part because the clout wielded by factions of the CPRF, LDPR, and Fair Russia in the Duma makes their "boat-rocking" abilities a laugh. First, United Russia with its overwhelming majority is quite capable of adopting absolutely any document whatever the opposition. Second, endorsement of the anti-crisis program by the Duma or failure to do so has absolutely no effect on its implementation because the anti-crisis action plan was never forwarded to the lower house of the parliament in the form of a law.
"From the legal standpoint, the document in question has the status of a governmental decree or resolution. Endorsement by the Duma merely adds to its political weight because dealing with the crisis is not a task for the government alone to handle," Yevgeny Fyodorov (Committee for Economic Policy and Businesses Chairman, United Russia faction) said. The lawmaker added that corrections would be inevitably introduced into the document yet, and doing so was easier when the document lacked the status of a law.
United Russia wanted more than just a formal endorsement of the anti-crisis program. It clearly wanted endorsement by all political forces represented in the lower house of the parliament. "Debates and disputes are fine in the time of peace. In crises, however, all political forces should pull together as a team or efficiency of the anti-crisis measures goes down," Fyodorov said. "We cannot hope to implement the program as effectively as we want it implemented without help from the Communists, Fair Russia, LDPR, right-wingers, and the majority of other political forces in the country. It's nothing juridical, it's pure politics. The Cabinet outlined the measures that it thought were needed. The situation being what it is, all political parties should forget their own interests and come to their country's help. This program is our only chance to save the country. It's either this program or chaos. How could other political parties be so blind as to fail to see it?"
United Russia is particularly peeved by the fact that the parliamentary opposition voted against the Cabinet's anti-crisis action plan even though the document incorporated some proposals they themselves had suggested. Some of the proposals made by leaders of Duma factions and chairmen of committees at meetings with Premier Vladimir Putin also made the so far final version of the document. "They are always there whenever there is a chance to do some bargaining with the powers-that-be and nowhere to be found when it is necessary to help the country," Fyodorov said.
Experts in the meantime say that United Russia's petulance has a different explanation altogether. "The ruling party once voted monetization i.e. conversion of social benefits into finances. It turned out to be a thoroughly unpopular decision," Political Techniques Center Vice President Aleksei Makarkin said. "Amendments to the budget nowadays fail to take into account interests of numerous sectors of economy. It's logical actually because if all of them were taken into account, the Contingency Fund would have lasted less than a single month… Anyway, very many sectors of economy are disappointed and vexed and that means lobbyists, businessmen, managers, and employees. It follows that United Russia is thoroughly uncomfortable now because the responsibility is its and nobody else's. No wonder it would dearly like to share responsibility for the decisions with the opposition."
"Had the opposition backed the anti-crisis action plan, United Russia would have presented it as a decision by consensus," Makarkin said. "As it is, however, parties of the parliamentary opposition are loyal to the regime but not so loyal as to want to smear their own image in the eyes of their voters."

One of those players in attendance who is ready to assume an increased role is former Springfield Cardinals infielder Brendan Ryan (pictured), the first position player from the 2003 draft class to make it to the majors. Pitchers Anthony Reyes and Dennis Dove were called up prior to Ryan's promotion.
In 2007, Ryan split his season between Triple-A Memphis and St. Louis. He saw his first major league action with the Cardinals in a game at Houston where he entered as a sub at shortstop in the seventh inning. In his first plate appearance, he grounded to short. Ryan made his first start on June 3, 2007 playing second base.
While at Memphis, Ryan hit .272 in 81 games with nine doubles, five triples, and one home run. He stole 17 bases and was caught six times. Ryan played all of his games in the field as a shortstop for Memphis.
With St. Louis, Ryan made 13 starts at second base, 18 at third base, and 12 starts at short. He had a .291 batting average and the Cardinals posted a 27-23 won-loss record in his starts. Ryan posted nine multi-hit games in his first 10 starts (batting .302 going 21-for-58, hitting three home runs, collecting eight RBI and scoring 12 times. His final batting average with the Cardinals was .289.
When asked about his readiness to play, Ryan said that he felt he had what it took to play at the major league level, and was looking to have his best year yet in 2008.
With Jim Edmonds gone, centerfield will be a position that will open a spot up for another Cardinal to get a chance to become a fan favorite. Two of those ready to wear that title are outfielders Skip Schumaker and Brian Barton.
Schumaker, a 27-year-old 5-foot-10, 195-pound outfielder who throws right handed and bats left, is from Torrance, California and was selected in the fifth round of the June 2001 draft as a free agent. In 2007, he made the opening day roster for St. Louis for the second straight year. Schumaker (pictured with a Children's Miracle Network child) led the team with 43 pinch-at-bat hits and collected hits in 22 of his 27 starts. He had a career best eight game hitting streak from September 16 through 23 and batted .400 in 49 games, from July 2 to the end of the season. Schumaker finished the month of July tied for second in NL batting going 20-for-46 and touting a batting average of .436. He also batted .415 with men in scoring position. On the last day of the 2007 season, he went 5-for-5 at Pittsburgh where he had two doubles and drove in two runs. Schumaker shared his 2007 playing time with Memphis where he batted .309 in 59 games playing the majority of his time in centerfield.
Brian Barton (pictured), an outfielder who was born in Los Angeles, California and attended college at the University of Miami (Florida), was acquired from the Cleveland organization during the off season and played his 2007 season at Akron AA and Buffalo AAA. The 6-foot-3, 187-pound right-hander finished the 2005 season ranked third in the Carolina League in triples. In 2006, he was first in slugging percentage at .515; and finished 2007 fifth in on-base percentage at .416 in first half and .314 in second half. Barton played three years in the Cleveland minor league system in A, Double A and Triple A. During his minor league career, he has a batting average of .317 in 354 games, and 1278 at bats, Barton logged 405 hits, with, 71 doubles, 12 triples, 36 home runs, 213 RBI, 152 base-on-balls and 82 stolen bases.
Ron Flores (being interviewed by radio voice John Rooney and watched intently by pitching coach Dave Duncan) was born in Whittier, California and attended college at USC. The 5-foot-11, 195-pound left-hander played his 2007 season at Triple-A Sacramento where he had an ERA of 3.57. Flores was drafted in the 29th round of the 2000 draft and signed with the Oakland Athletics on July 27, 2000. When called up to the majors as a relief pitcher in 2007 by Oakland, he ended the season with a win-loss record of 0-2, with no saves, in 17.2 innings pitched. His brother Randy Flores also pitches for St. Louis.

Dollar Pares Gains as Markets Stabilize
Markets stabilize in today's Asian session with dollar and yen giving back some of yesterday's sharp gain. Asian stocks opened lower following yesterday's -223 pts fall in DOW but recover. While much volatility was seen during the week, no breakthrough is seen in the markets yet and major currencies are settling back into last week's range even though some general strength is seen in the greenback on yesterday's rebound. With US markets on holiday today, it's likely that markets will remain indecisive to close the week. Though, some more volatility might be seen in European session with Eurozone retail sales, UK PMI Services and Swiss CPI featured.
Swiss CPI is expected to be flat mom in Jun, and drop -1.1% yoy. Such reading will represent the largest annual drop in inflation in at least 33 years. Swissy's recovery against Euro is still in progress and is so far a bit stronger than expected but it should just be a matter of time when EUR/CHF's rally resumes. From Eurozone, finalized services PMI is expected to be unrevised at 44.5 in Jun but beware of revisions. Retail sales in Eurozone is expected to drop -0.2% mom, -2.8% yoy in May. UK PMI services is expected to drop slightly from 51.7 to 51.5 in Jun but remain above 50.
Technically, there are two developments worth attention. Firstly, crude oil is now pressing double top neckline support at 66.37. Secondly, dow is possibly forming a head and shoulder top too. If both patterns are confirmed, dollar and yen will likely be boosted up on risk aversion. So, next week will likely be pivotal.

Study objectives: Inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) are widely used in the treatment of COPD. One of the potential adverse effects of their use is the development of adrenal suppression. Our study aimed to determine the effects of ICS on adrenal function over 3 years of use in patients with COPD.
Methods: Two hundred twenty-one subjects were recruited from the 1,116 patients already enrolled in Lung Health Study II and were randomized to receive either triamcinolone, 1,200 μg, or placebo daily. Basal cortisol levels and cortisol levels at 30 min and 60 min following cosyntropin injection were measured at study entry and after 1 year and 3 years of participation.
Results: Basal cortisol levels in the placebo group were higher than in those receiving active drug at all time points and rose through the study period. There was no suppression of cortisol levels after cosyntropin stimulation at any study point in any subgroup.
Conclusion: Use of inhaled triamcinolone, 1,200 μg/d, over 3 years does not suppress baseline adrenal function or diminish adrenal responsiveness to cosyntropin stimulation.

Beginning a Story
Myra finally cleared the edge of the forest after three hours of toil and stumbling. She sighed in relief as she stepped onto the well-traveled path that led in and out of the trees. "I hope she comes to Tendroh when we talk again," Myra thought fervently. "I don't want to walk that path ever again."
At as brisk a pace as her sore feet would allow, Myra made her way home. Within twenty minutes, the last few lights remaining in the small village were visible. "It's later than I thought." Myra hastened her steps, hoping to make it back to her smithy before the mage-lights triggered.
"Made it," she thought as she stepped into the yard outside her small house. The mage-lights lit up a moment later. "Barely."
Entering her house and stretching out sore limbs, Myra dumped her bag onto the floor and opened it, pulling out lady Faylore's books and, as an afterthought, the apple that she had been given earlier that day. "Might as well eat while I read."
She picked one of the books at random and carried it into her darkened bedroom. She gently set it down on her bed and groped around until she found a small piece of metal with a rune engraved on it. She then carefully made her way to a table at the foot of her bed and touched the metal to the wick of a candle on the table.
The rune flared with a white light, and the wick lit with a reassuring orange flame. "Thanks, Dad," Myra thought as she put the metal at the head of her bed. "The runes you left behind are still coming in handy."
Myra returned to her bed and retrieved the book, then laid it down on the table. With a sense of reverence, she opened it to find the title written in plain writing, surrounded by very intricate illustrations: The Legend of the Lost Kingdom.
With the smile that always accompanied her into the worlds that authors hid in their books, Myra turned to the first page and began to read.

New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - February 19, 1995, New Braunfels, Texas Page AA ■ Sunday, Feb 19.1994 Opinion ■ To talk with Managing Editor Mark Lyon about the Opinion oage. cal! 625-9«44, ext 21 H e IBM d - Z e i t u n g Opinion Q U O T I \ B L E "The First Amendment as we understand it today rests on die premise that it is government power, rather durn private power, that is the main threat to free expression." * Sandra Day O'Connor Supreme Court Justice, 1994 EDITORIALS Don't take the risk Failing to get your pet vaccinated for rabies could cost more than your pet Due to a rabies epidemic in the extreme portions of South Texas, rabies, an age-old disease which plagues wild animals and unfortunately domesticated animals as well, a campaign to have pets vaccinated for the disease is well underway. Since the outbreak began, rabies cases have been climbing and geographically, they have been appearing closer and closer to the Comal and Guadalupe County area. Yesterday, the Comal County Veterinary Medical Association held a rabies clinic at three locations in the county for minimal costs in an effort to help prevent cases from developing locally. The Herald-Zeitung promoted the clinic on the front page of Wednesday's edition. lf you missed the clinic, you can still have your pet(s) vaccinated by simply calling your veterinarian. It could be one of the most important phone calls you make. Rabies doesn't just affect animals. Once animals are infected and become rabid, they can infect people, even children from only one bite. Prevention is the key. If you see an animal which looks suspicious, perhaps mad or drooling, do not approach it. Be smart and call the Comal County Sheriffs Department, your local vet, or your local animal shelter and let them do what they are trained to do.

P O Draw cr 311328. New Braunfels. Ta 78131-1328 More Choice and More Competition David Sullens Ii appears the board of the Greater New Braunfels Chamber of Commerce soon may be asked to endorse a resolution in support of Texas telephone companies' effort to secure relaxed regulation. The Chamber should not adopt such a position, no matter how innocuously worded it may be. (Such resolutions, presented to other chambers of commerce, have called for progress, change, competition and brighter tomorrows, things so broad as to be almost meaningless, but they are intended to be presented to legislators as endorsements of the phone companies' efforts to end regulation.) There are many reasons for the Chamber not to endorse such a resolution. What follows is a column written toward the end of January by my good friend Dolph Tillotson, the publisher of The Galveston County Daily New's. It makes the very complicated and controversial telephone deregulation issue about as understandable as it can be. The telephone companies in Texas are again in Austin seeking relaxed regulation so they can make more money. Many other Texans, including most of the state's newspapers, oppose blanket deregulation for good reasons. They fear local franchise holders have too much power to monopolize new businesses such as home computer information services. If you own a home computer or a telephone, you've got a dog in this fight. What is at stake is the future development of the much-talked-about information highway in Texas — what new services arise, who provides them, how much they will cost. The phone companies say: We need relaxed regulation in order to bring to Texas fiber-optic cable and other innovations. If you don't listen very, very carefully, you would think regulation prohibits such development. Actually, there is nothing in state law or Public Utility Commission regulations that prevents those developments today. In fact, they are underway now. The phone companies say: We'll spend $1.5 billion on infrastructure if you free us from restrictions. That's the same promise the phone companies made in the late 1980s when they sought rate increases. At the very least, Texans should require the promise to be in writing and in detail this time. Make the commitment real. The phone companies say: Freeing us from regulation will bring new jobs to Texas. In the next decade, experts predict 80 percent of the state's jobs will come from small businesses. Those are precisely the kinds of businesses that could be squeezed out of the picture if the phone companies get their way. The phone companies say: Newspapers that oppose deregulation are dinosaurs vainly trying to hang onto the dying past. Actually, opposition does not come just from newspapers. It comes from a broad coalition of media companies, cable TV, AT&T and other long distance providers, small businesses and virtually every consumer group in Texas. Newspapers are not trying to cling to the past. Many are leading the effort to develop new, innovative computer-telephone information services. Those who oppose telephone deregulation are more interested in encouraging competition than in stifling it. It is our hope that Texans will have a dazzling array of choices for computer-telephone information sources. Newspapers, of course, hope to participate in that exciting future. It is our biggest fear that each community will have one choice only for such services. That will be the same choice they have now for local telephone service — no choice at all. The good news is consumers do have an opportunity to speak on this issue. No doubt they will call clearly for more choice and more competition. That is best in the long run for everyone. (David Sullens is editor and publisher of the New Braunfels Herald-Zeitung.) Whatjdo you think? A whopping 244 roaders responded to last week's Herald-Zeitung reader survey question which asked if Comal County Commissioners were right in making the alcohol sales hours in the county 12 arn (weekdays) and 1 a.m. (Saturdays). Approximately 220 readers said commissioners were wrong while 24 agreed with them. However, many responses from both sides indicated that they would like to see an election so that the people can determine the hours, instead of the commissioners. What do you think? Fill out the coupon (right), drop it by our office at 707 Lands in New Braunfels and well report the results in next Sunday's edition. One vote per person. No names will be published. Deadline to submit your opinion is Friday, Fab. 24. Copied forms are accepted. Can the Republicans afford to be left behind? Cal Thomas It's the dead of winter During recent Republican administrations this has meant numerous network television reports on the homeless. These reports usually linked the "insensitive" and "harsh" policies of the Reagan and Bush administrations to the plight of those who slept on heating grates and on occasion froze to death. With the exception of a few local newscasts, the homeless watch is virtually over for the networks. There have been no suggestions that President Clinton is to blame for those foraging in trash cans and eating out of dumpsters or sleeping in cardboard boxes. One man is trying to rise above the political battle by actually doing something to help the homeless. Not only is Ohio Congressman Tony Hall a Democrat, he is proposing a solution that might work and wouldn't cost the taxpayers any money—something that ought to appeal to Republicans. Beginning in his home district of Dayton, Hall has persuaded the local Democratic Party to open its headquarters to homeless people Sounding like some of his Republican colleagues, Hall said, "Government alone cannot solve these problems. Private organizations must also bear the burden." The chairman of the Montgomery County Democratic Party, Dennis Lieberman, announced that empty upstairs rooms of the party's building in Dayton will be equipped with bunk beds to house as many people as possible. Most will be the overflow from the St. Vincent Hotel, which currently pays through the local shelter program for overflow residents to sleep in other hotels. Lieberman says the party's offer should reduce or eliminate those expenses, currently running between $10,000 to $15,000 per year Local Democrats estimate it w ill cost the party between $1,000 and $2,000 a year to maintain their building as a facility for the homeless. They say they will bear the cost, whatever it is. Hall also wants doctors, dentists, lawyers and other professionals to donate their services to needy people in the community. If the homeless are able to work, they will receive job counseling, resume help and, it is hoped, be directed into the Job Training Partnership program that develops the skills they need to find jobs. The executive director of St. Vincent, Jim Butler, told the Dayton Daily News: "This is an ideal soluuon to a problem we've been facing for the past five years. The community didn't want to create another shelter because of the financial burdens that would have resulted." An "ideal solution" is not a phrase usually associated with the homeless problem. But if Democrats and Republicans could get together on this significant social concern, they might become a model for other groups and individuals that political and philosophical differences don't mean people can't work together in true compassion and chanty The Republican rap is that Democrats see problems as opportunities to create new, expensive and unworkable federal programs. The Democratic rap is that Republicans care too little about the poor and hungry. Hall is providing by example a way to badge that philosophical gap and to demonstrate that where compassion and humanity are concerned, party labels should be checked at the door of at least one pany's headquarters. Democrats are showing the way in Dayton. Can Republicans afford to be left behind in that city and in other communities? (Cal Thomas is a syndicated columnist with Los Angeles Times Syndicate.) Today in history By The Associated Press Today is Sunday, Feb. 19, the 50th day of 1995. There are 315 days left in the year Today's Highlight in History: Fifty years ago, on Feb. 19,1945, dunng World War II, some 30,000 U.S. Marines landed on the Western Pacific island of Iwo lima, where they encountered ferocious resistance from Japanese forces The Amencans look control of the strate gically important island after a month-long battle. On this dale: In 1473, the astronomer Copernicus was bom in Torun, Poland. In 1803, Congress voted lo accept Ohio's borders and constitution, but in a bizarre oversight, did not get around to formally ratifying Ohio statehood until 1953. bi 1807, former Vice President Aaron Burr was arrested in Alabama. (He was subsequently tned for treason and acquitted ) In 1846, the Texas slate government was formally installed in Austin. In 1864, the Knights of Pythias was founded in Washington, D.C.

In 1959, an agreement was signed by Bntain, Turkey and Greece grant-ing Cyprus its independence In 1963, the Soviet Union informed President Kennedy it would withdraw "several thousand" of an estimated 17,(XX) Soviet Hoops in Cuba WOW! 220 readers say Commissioners were out of line From staff reports ■ Do the citizens of Comal County run this county or do the commissioners and the police? Are we a dictatorship? This situation does not generate capital within the county. What is wrong with this picture? ■ It was voted in by the people. It shouldn't be taken away by a few people. Enough of our Constitutional nghts are being infringed upon. Lets stop it here. I am an adult and cap decide for myself where and when I want to go somewhere. Small business will be hurt by this, ■ I felt the commissioners were right but still I would have liked to have had a say in it. What would it have hurt to let the people have a say in this by having an election. I like the idea, but I am only one person. There is more at stake here Approximately 220 Herald-Zeitung readers said that Comal County Commissioners were wrong in changing the hours of county alcohol sales from 2 a rn to midnight (weekdays) and to I a rn on Saturdays. Approximately 24 readers responded favorably, saying the agreed with the commissioners' decision. Some of the responses included: ■ I agree The changes will hun the local tourism industry. ■ The commissioners abused their authonty by playing God for their voters. The best way would have been to have a vote and let the people decide. This is a good example of government doing their own interest - not the people's. ;

The Luxury Visionaries 2016
The Vanquish is currently the fastest, most powerful and most expensive vessel for Aston Martin's dodgy heart.
You can follow the trace of Aston Martin's troubling ECG elsewhere on this site. It's an alarming one to study. There are periods when it races and periods where it flat-lines. Moments when the cars were winning on the road and on the track and moments when, but for the timely application of some well-meant – and well-funded – defibrillation, obituaries would have been required.
Since early this century however, following a strategy written by Ford (which has long since left the building), Aston's heart has been beating healthily, at time vigorously, but the spikes on the trace are less tall now. Time to call for the crash-cart? Well it might already be on its way and we'll come to that, but first the new Vanquish, currently the fastest, most powerful and most expensive vessel for Aston Martin's dodgy heart.
Since 2003 Aston Martin has been making the same car. Whether it's the DB9, the sublime DBS, the short-lived Virage, The Rapide, the smaller, V8-engined Vantage cars or the £1m, 0ne-77 couture car they are all based on the same kit of parts. And nothing wrong with that – McLaren is doing the same thing with its road-racers.
And it's the same with the new Vanquish. It has to be; Aston Martin can't afford to do anything different right now. So if the designers of the Vanquish had any-overarching aim it was to, er…. vanquish any sense of familiarity. They haven't done that, outside or in. With limited materials in the studio it was always going to be a stretch, so you have to feel for them even if, like me, you find the flamboyant decoration and oddly cabin-forward look (the result of a complex, apparently aerodynamically essential tail) a bit un-Aston Martin-y.
The engineers too could only improve what they had. So it's a further evolution of AM's lowly-born V12 and old school six-speed auto. Aston Martin has spend a lot of money dressing the Vanquish in zeitgeisty carbon fibre, but you do wonder whether the money might now have been better spent on stuff like, for example, a radio that actually worked. Lovely to have B&O speakers that appear out of the top of dash. Very James Bond. But I'd quite like to be able to listen to Radio 4 reliably, please.
And yet, the Vanquish is a thing of wonder. It has astonishing presence and an engine song of such gravitas and import it makes other £200,000 cars all sound a little one-dimensional, or do I mean One Directional? Personally, I adore big, powerful, front-engined cars. So I can't help but adore Aston Martins. I'm too old to carry off a mid-engined Ferrari or McLaren. They just look wrong on a man of a certain age. But not an Aston Martin.
A potent and romantic GT, the Vanquish makes a fantastic case for Aston Martin. Trouble is I'm not sure it's the best case when the latest DB9 is so beautiful and the word is that the new V12 Vantage S is the most exciting Aston yet. Aston Martin needs a technological flagship now the rare and rarefied One-77 has disappeared into collectors' air-conditioned garages. But the carbon body aside, there is nothing cutting-edge on the Vanquish.
The arrival of Daimler-Benz via its AMG subsidiary, a move many believe may foreshadow a takeover soon, will make available to Aston Martin technology it's just not been able to afford. For all its scars, Aston Martin's heart remains strong and true. With the right people in its life, the ups and downs of the last 100 years might just prove to be the recklessness of youth.
