Chicago Fire
The Chicago Fire's performance in Montreal deserved all three points. Tactically Frank Yallop got it spot on, and Montreal looked like the road team on their own pitch. Yes, the team had an abundance of quality chances, and, not for the first time should have wrapped it up.
Now six matches in, I feel the jigsaw is starting to take shape. The Fire has learned some lessons, grown as a team, and are now poised to claim all three against New England this Saturday (3pm CT on NBC Sports Network).
Personally, I'm excited to jump on the 'Pub to Pitch' bus from A.J. Hudson's and enjoy the match without a headset. It promises to be a very open and exciting match, and here's what I'd look for from a tactical perspective…
Defender of the Year Injured?
In 2013, the Revs stood tall and kept an MLS best 14 clean sheets. After a dismal start this year, conceding four in Houston, Jay Heaps' defense is starting to show its strengths once more, allowing just three goals in their last four matches.
New England's hope of keeping the Fire scoreless will be dealt a huge blow if 2013 MLS Defender of the Year Jose Goncalves fails to overcome a right quad injury that he picked up last week. Goncalves was outstanding against the Fire last season. His strength and positional awareness often masks many of the deficiencies in partner A.J. Soares.
Soares tends to ball watch, a trait that won't bode well against the budding partnership of Mike Magee and Quincy Amarikwa. The Revs full backs also love to attack, meaning there may be plenty of space for Amarikwa to test Soares' pace and strength. From where I'm standing, there's only one winner in that battle. Excuse me, what time is it again? That's right, it's #QuincyTime!
Revs attack is riddled with talent, yet predictable
Only three Revs players have hit the back of the net this season, and the team has been held scoreless in four of its six matches. There are many reasons for this lack of production, including injuries to key players and new players gelling. My take is that this Revs 4-1-4-1 formation is too predictable at the moment.
Teal Bunbury is obviously a good player, but he's been a little too isolated by himself, and if the Fire defense do anything, don't allow him stretch his legs in behind. Daigo Kobayashi and Lee Nguyen are excellent ball players, with exquisite vision and passing ability and they'll look for Bunbury through the channels or over the top all afternoon.
The Fire gave up two big chances in Montreal last week, both errors, sending McInerney and Di Vaio racing through on goal. Luckily for the Fire, Di Vaio blazed over in the second half.
Chicago's defense has been improving every match, and I have no doubt that the Men in Red have the ability to physically brush Bunbury and Co. aside, however, have they learned enough lessons in order to stay mentally strong for 90+ minutes and eliminate any costly errors?
From battle of the Franks, to battle of the Flanks
There's a possibility that Patrick Nyarko and Harry Shipp will again occupy the flanks for the Fire on Saturday. Offensively, they'll be given room to express themselves, but defensively they've got a tough job on their hands.
New England's wingers, poster boy Diego Fagundez and Frenchman Saer Sene love to cut inside, leaving space for their full backs (Andrew Farrell, Chris Tierney, Kevin Alston etc) to attack. New York's constant rotation in midfield caused the Fire problems earlier this season, and they'll face a Revs side that also loves to roam. Discipline, shape and communication will be key when defending.
With that said, New England leave gaps and they can certainly be exposed when they turn the ball over. It's crucial that when the Fire do win the ball back, they pick a pass and look to hit Amarikwa or Nyarko in transition immediately.
When the Fire plays with pace and direction, it's a very dangerous team, but when the Fire loses its momentum and tempo, they suddenly start to play on the opposition's terms. A perfect example of this was the excellent first 20 minutes vs Philadelphia, compared to the shoddy second 25.
PREDICTION: I don't see a reason to make any changes to the team. Those 11 deserve to play from the start, but if fit, I think Dilly Duka would be a great guy to bring on against the Revs.
This is a good matchup for the Fire right now. I'll go with a first clean sheet and a first win of the season. 2-0 Fire with goals from Mike Magee and Patrick Nyarko.

In case you didn't know by now, Saturday's Fire/Red Stars doubleheader at Toyota Park will feature a pair of cousins as Mike Magee and Jackie Santacaterina line up for their squads in front of friends, family and their hometown fans. In case you don't have tickets, click here....
Pick up Wednesday's edition of the Chicago Redeye and get the full scoop on Mike and Jackie's competitive relationship growing up, how each of them did on a soccer-themed quiz and this video where they find out how they did:
With the growth in popularity of the game in this country comes the higher knowledge of history, both good and bad, that surrounds the game we love.
Twenty-five years ago today, the Hillsborough disaster occurred in Sheffield, England, claiming the lives of 96 Liverpool FC supporters who attended the ground to see their club's FA Cup semifinal clash with Nottingham Forest.
As has become standard worldwide, supporters of the two clubs were separated to prevent any incident, with Liverpool supporters being given the Leppings Lane Stand at the west side of the ground.
Access to the stand was only possible through a few ill-repaired turnstiles and led to serious overcrowding outside of the stadium prior to kickoff of the match. Looking to ease pressure on the entry way, officials ordered an exit gate to be opened, the path through which led to a standing section that was already overcrowded.
Crushing ensued as too many fans were located in the terraces and were pinned up against a barrier meant to keep fans off the pitch. The game actually didn't even halt until the sixth minute when fans trying to escape the crush walked on to the field along with police who ordered the match to be postponed.
About an hour north of Sheffield, a 25-year-old Frank Yallop came on as a substitute in Ipswich Town's 2-2 draw at Bradford City. Having led 2-1 at halftime, the result was a disappointing one for the Tractor Boys who dropped points to a Bradford City club below them in the Second Division table.
With the game kicking off at the same time as the cup semifinal though, Yallop and his teammates didn't find out about the tragedy until after they'd come off the field at Valley Parade.
"It was terrible," Yallop recalled to Chicago-Fire.com. "I just remember the images and panic on everyone's faces. Seeing it on the news, it was really devastating to watch -- all they showed on TV was carrying people on the advertising boards to get care from the paramedics."
Perhaps the news hit a bit closer to home for those that had just completed the match at Bradford City's ground as four years earlier, it was the site of a fire that engulfed one entire stand during the final match of the 1984/85 season. That tragedy took the lives of 56, saw over 200 injured and was started by one lit cigarette discarded underneath the all-wooden stand.
The Bradford City fired occurred just weeks before another stadium crush in a match involving Liverpool occurred at the 1985 European Cup final at Heysel Stadium in Belgium. On that day, 39 people, most of which were supporters of Italian side Juventus, lost their lives and resulted in English clubs being banned from European competition indefinitely.
Perhaps in part because of the Heysel incident, many pointed the blame for the crush at Hillsborough on Liverpool supporters. Claims of drunkenness and fans without tickets trying to gain entry into the ground were bothgiven as contributing factors for the incident. In the end, the Taylor Report (published in 1990) found the main factor to Hillsborough to be failure of police control.
More recent inquiries from the Hillsborough Independent Panel exonerated Liverpool supporters of wrong doing in the incident, placing the blame squarely on public safety officials.
"It was sad because people had gotten to the game early to see a semifinal," Yallop said. "From mistakes made by the police, 96 people lose their lives. It's a tragic accident."
The Taylor Report's main recommendation saw stadiums in the UK made to be all-seater in order to make crowd control easier and safer, which greatly reduced the capacity of many stadiums in the country.
Twenty-five years on from Hillsborough, tributes from clubs and supporters around the world have poured in and tonight ESPN's "30 for 30" documentary series tackles the events at Hillsborough (7pm CT on ESPN). ESPN's Keith Olbermann spoke to Director Daniel Gordon about the film on Monday:
It's part of the magic of footy mythology that even with 22 players on the field, every game seems to center around the actions of a few trolls or the one great Prince. The other 20 or so characters stay in the background. But what makes the mythology live and move through time is that inevitably the seemingly inconsequential side characters develop their own story.
In Chicago, right now, that story is Quincy Amarikwa. For five years, his role in the fight scene was as a spear-holding extra, stabbing at people now and then as the camera panned by overhead. But now, the guy is hot. He's wearing face paint and screaming at people from his horse. I mean he's not only, finally, getting a run of starts, but he's already matched his top goals number in April. He's got not one but two hashtags of his own, he's running an internet marketing consultant business, he's teaching Sparky how to do laundry, and he's even risen to Fantasy fame.
After another goal in the Battle of the Franks in Montreal, people all over the league are taking notice. Not that Amarikwa is hiding. That's not his style. Saturday's matchup against former manager Frank Klopas brought a lot of cute nostalgic quotes, but Amarikwa was the only one who cut through the platitudes, saying, "Obviously it was nice to show him why I should have played more last year."
It's something that Amarikwa is used to, this approach of proving yourself. In a recent interview, he explained his approach as a substitute: You got five minutes to prove it, so prove it. Maybe that's why his substitute appearances were always marked by an almost impossible level of energy, physicality, hustle, and pace. He might only have five minutes, but he would bust those five minutes apart.
You can see as much in highlights from his past appearances. Turning guys, taking people on, ripping shots - no matter who the great Prince was in a particular game, Amarikwa demanded your attention. He was jumping in front of the camera, demanding his own scene. In San Jose, Colorado, and Toronto, fans loved the guy because he scared opponents - he's direct, pesky, tireless, sharp elbowed, and jacked. In his long haired days he looked like a Samoan rugby player. With his low center of gravity, giant thighs, and changes of direction, he now resembles an NFL fullback.
The problem was goals. Amarikwa was never a prolific scorer. Scoring 4 goals in 5 seasons as a striker isn't enough to get yourself a starting job.
And so, for five years, his MLS job description read something like this: "Impact substitute, sparkplug; i.e. ability to change game and create chances - not necessarily the one to take those chances."
That is, until last year, when Amarikwa was already on his way to dropping the spear and grabbing his own horse. The two bikes against Montreal (HE BIKES WHEN HE WANTS) may have been overshadowed by the excruciating miss in Toronto in September, but he continued to impress. His scoring rate per 90 minutes shot upwards.
Instead of contributing intangibles, he was contributing goals. The flying side volley against RSL helped turn the Fire's season around, and looking back now, it feels like an apt little analogy for his career so far. Because at first glance you watch it and you say, ok, a nice athletic goal late in a game, those are important. Good work. But then you watch the replay and you realize just how quick, how airborne, how technical the finish was. And you say to yourself, wait a minute, wow, that's a real goal scorer's goal.
This year, Amarikwa has started the season with three goals and an assist in five starts. He's the hottest player in the squad. And with manager Frank Yallop rewarding players' good form with minutes, Amarikwa is currently keeping DP Juan Luis Anangono on the bench.
It looks like Amarikwa found the efficacy he was lacking. He's transformed his old five minute blitz - all fight, opportunism, and "eff you" - into a 90 minute attack. It's the step we all wanted, and his mouthwatering partnership with Mike Magee is only just beginning.
What it means is that now, suddenly, the former side character Amarikwa isn't only creeping into the Prince's stories. He's developing a myth of his own.

#QuincyTime continued to take on a life of its own on this weekend when Fire forward Quincy Amarikwa scored the 54th minute equalizer in a 1-1 draw at Montreal on Saturday.
With the goal, Amarikwa has already equaled his total for the whole of 2013 just six matches into this season and has been involved in a goal in five of those games. Just to take it one further, Amarikwa has five goals and one assist in his last eight Fire appearances dating back to October 4 last season.
He started only five of those games.
So while the Fire are still winless in six matches (but unbeaten in five), Amarikwa seems to be the revelation early on this season. With the Fire having given up seven goals from dead ball sequences before Saturday, it was nice to see Amarikwa bury a set piece second ball for the Fire for a change.
One more look…
And for the second time this season, Quincy brought out the #cf97NaeNae to celebrate…
An MLS journeyman who's calling card has been coming off the bench, Amarikwa scored just four goals in his first 67 MLS matches but with six goals in the last year, he's already doubled his career goal total in 20 games with the Fire. As he continues to show efficiency on the field, I posed this question on Twitter Saturday…
It's still early but just wondering, could @QuincyAmarikwa score double digits this year? #cf97
— Jeff Crandall (@jefecrandall) April 12, 2014
What do you think are the reasons for Amarikwa's turnaround with the Fire? Will he become the eighth Fire player to hit double-digit goals by year's end? Give me your thoughts below!
Whether you like having just a few libations with some of the club's most ardent supporters, enjoy the beautiful landscapes of rural Indiana, Michigan and Missouri, or just really like seeing the Chicago Fire play away from home, Section 8 On Tour Bus Trips (#S8OT) have something for everyone.
Returning this year, the Independent Supporters Association is offering all Fire supporters an away season ticket, which guarantees round trip bus fare and match tickets for this season's Fire away games in Columbus (May 24), Kansas City (July 6) and Toronto (August 23) for just $200.
While the execution of an Away Season Ticket isn't something new to Section 8 Chicago, it does return for the first time in a number of years because of the way the MLS schedule fell for the club's three closest away trips according to ISA Chairman Jeff Marinacci.
"The stars aligned for us," he told Chicago-Fire.com this week. "When we saw the schedule, having Toronto on a summer weekend makes it an easy sell. Though Columbus or Kansas City are good road games, Toronto just offers so much more, the trip is worth doing outside of just going to watch a match."
- PURCHASE: 2014 Section 8 Chicago Away Trip Ticket
Toronto nightlife no doubt has more to offer than Kansas City or Columbus but what Marinacci is referring to is the fact that the past few seasons, the team has played away in Toronto at midweek in September, making it difficult to coordinate a strong contingent of Fire supporters to travel by bus.
This year the Columbus and Toronto trips both fall on Saturdays, while the Kansas City trip falls on the Sunday of Independence Day weekend making the travel much easier all around.
As they do on all buses, Section 8 Chicago is subsidizing an additional $35 per person on the 2014 Away Season Ticket on top of the $50 subsidy provided for individual bus travel to these matches.
"Our commitment to spending our money is to support the guys on the field home and away," he said.
A great deal no doubt, not what if someone buying can only make it on one or two of the trips instead of the full complement of three? Marinacci said that while there is no partial away season ticket (and no refunds), the ISA will accommodate ticket transfers as coordinated through firstname.lastname@example.com.
Now through mid-May (when bus tickets for the Columbus trip will cut off), Section 8 Chicago is in a heavy push to sell the Away Season Ticket for the year. As part of that push, the ISA will be raffling one off during Saturday's Watch Party at A.J. Hudsons.
Next Saturday, the ISA will raffle off a second Away Season Ticket, purchased by the Club, at their tailgate in the north lot prior to the Chicago Fire/New England Revolution match.

Ahead of Saturday's clash at Montreal's Olympic Stadium, neither Fire head coach Frank Yallop or the Impact's Frank Klopas will be happy with their team's defensive efforts five matches into the season, though they may have varying opinions about the number of goals their teams have produced.
See below the spots on the field both the Fire and Impact have scored and conceded from heading into Saturday's game:
Goals Scored: 8 | Goals Against: 9 |
Run of Play: 4 | Run of Play: 2 |
Dead Ball/Set Piece Sequence: 4 | Dead Ball/Set Piece Sequence: 7 |
Penalty Kick: 1, Corner Kick 2, Free Kick 1 | Penalty Kick : 1, Corner Kick 3, Free Kick 3 |
Goals Scored: 5 | Goals Against: 9 |
Run of Play: 5 | Run of Play: 6 |
Dead Ball/Set Piece Sequence: 0 | Dead Ball/Set Piece Sequence: 3 |
Penalty Kick: 0, Corner Kick 0, Free Kick 0 | Penalty Kick : 1, Corner Kick 0, Free Kick 2 |
After a heartbreaking draw against the Union last weekend, the Fire travel north to Montreal to face another side looking for a first win of the season Saturday (2:30pm CT on My50/TWCSC). The game has added spice with former coach Frank Klopas facing the Men in Red for the first time as opposition coach.
Here are a few tactical observations to keep in mind on Saturday.
Continued focus on the wing play - taking advantage of Shipp's positioning
In last Saturday's match, Patrick Nyarko returned to the starting lineup and impressed. On the other side of the field, Harry Shipp looks much more comfortable when he cuts inside, as opposed to hugging the touchline and taking on players.
Shipp's set piece play alone is worth a place in the starting eleven, but his ability to pick a pass is also a dangerous weapon. Shipp's tendency to drift inside also benefits the Fire for other reasons.
First, in the absence of a creative central midfielder, it's not felt as much when the rookie comes central and occupies those positions. Against a team like Montreal that boasts an impressive attack, the use of two defensive-minded midfielders can be necessary (as I will explain in more detail later) but with Shipp filling the gap, the Fire don't lose much in an attacking sense.
Shipp's positioning also opens the door for Greg Cochrane to show his attacking talents from the left back position. Cochrane has fit seamlessly into the Fire back line and his excellent crossing ability has been on show in recent matches.
With the Impact's wide players like Mapp reluctant to track back on a consistent basis, the Fire could again benefit from attacking in the wide areas.
Continuing to win the ball high up the field - catching Montreal in transition
In the first half last week against New York, the Impact sliced through the Red Bull midfield as if they had three extra players on the pitch. Klopas emphasized transitioning the ball from defense to attack as quickly as possible and for most of the first half, that worked to devastating effect.
Montreal should've been well ahead at halftime but actually went into the break behind 2-1. The reason for this was because the Canadian team was caught trying to force the ball forward too quickly, resulting in turnovers, which the Red Bulls capitalized on twice in three minutes. I expect the Impact to try this tactic again on Saturday.
- INFOGRAPHIC: Where Fire and Impact are scoring, conceding from
Players like Mike Magee and Quincy Amarikwa both like to hound the opposing team when they are in possession in their defensive third. The Fire's first goal last week was a perfect example of this, with Amarikwa nicking the ball from a defender before setting up Magee for an easy tap in.
If the Fire can force the Impact into turnovers high up the pitch, it could prove costly for the Canadian team.
Attempting to contain Montreal's fearsome attack - staying compact and limiting mental mistakes
Just when we thought an attack featuring Marco Di Vaio, an in-form Justin Mapp and Felipe was going to be a challenge, the Impact went out and acquired promising American youngster Jack McInerney.
This move could see the Impact change formation to a two striker statute with Di Vaio and Jack Mac up front or see McInerney play in one of the wide attacking roles behind the target striker. In any case, the fluidity of the Impact's attack will be a major challenge for the Fire to contend with on Saturday.
None of the Montreal attacking players stay static for long, with Felipe essentially having a free role in the hole, Di Vaio often pushing wide, and Mapp cutting inside with the ball at his feet on a regular basis. With this in mind, the Fire defense needs to stay organized and compact and not allow Montreal to drag players out of position.
This has not been a problem for the Fire this season, with most of the team's nine goals against coming from lapses from set pieces. A clean sheet Saturday afternoon would be a massive achievement.
Prediction: The Fire score early and finish the game off late 2-0 with goals from Magee and Hurtado.

The Chicago Fire Reserves ran out 4-0 winners over Marquette Sunday morning at Toyota Park. First teamers, Juan Luis Anangono, Victor Pineda and Orr Barouch all chipped in goals but perhaps the best was Academy product Andrew Gutman's combination with Qudus Lawal on the left to take things to 3-0 in the in 75th minute.
Catch that goal 20 seconds into the video below:
Mike Magee (a great dancer) can redirect a cross like it's nobody's business.
In this edition of slow it down, Quincy Amarikwa (also a great dancer), picks Amobi Okugo's pocket with flying colors, runs the ball down the field and crosses to Magee... you know the rest.
Voice of the Fire Dan Kelly put it best by describing Magee's play on the goal as being like, "A shifty little feline after a seven hour nap." You may be confused after reading this, but I promise after you watch the video below, it should all make sense. (unlike the duo's dance moves)
Let's slow it down!

My family and I are really excited to go back to Keystone this year. As we prepare for the Regatta, Colorado Crew will want to reserve a block of rooms (this will help us get the best rates), which if it was like last year, you guys will be thrilled - I think. That being said, Keystone is knee deep into the ski season and we will not be able to reserve the rooms for another couple of months. I am a worry wart and not sure how many rooms to reserve, so if you are planning to come would you reply to this posting and let me know.
To be able to put faces to names and subs together will definitely be one of my highlights, but there is a ton of things that can be done by the family around Keystone. I know Tina and Sam will do some horseback riding and I might get some fly fishing in. There is definitely a LOT of shopping both in Keystone, but also a short distance away. Would you add things your family or you might like to do? I will be staying up here for 7-8 days, are you going to spend additional time here too?

They should just have implemented this on top of Wayland instead of writing Mir.
Well at least it woke up the wayland developers.
Phoronix should create an article "Myths and the clusterfuck created by Mir/Canonical/"ubuntu press"/ubuntu Fanboys". Some of the myths, misconception and lies:
-Mir can do cheat Wayland can't
-Mir is being developed faster and is more feature complete than Wayland
-Android drivers comparability layer was created by Mir developers
-Wayland development is slow and under-resourced
-Wayland development speed up after Mir
-Wayland has a multitude of issues, including security issues Xorg has
-Gnome/KDE/etc only started working on Wayland because of Mir
-Every major DE will support Mir
-Wayland can't run on a multitude of devices and form factors
-Ubuntu will manage to put out Mir on a LTS release 14.04
Is impossible that canonical put mir on ubuntu 14.04 , this is an lts version, and I think that mir, will need more time for be stable and secure. I think that wayland is the near future on linux, kde ang gnome shell, are working to ported theirs de's

Pearl Izumi Pro Barrier Arm Warmers $0.00

Pearl Izumi Pro Barrier Arm Warmers
? Share a...
Good gift for the man with everything.
- Familiarity: I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share
I gave these as a gift for my father-in-law. He has everything, but I figured he wouldn't have some arm warmers. Turned out great.
Very good arm warmers
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I purchased these to replace a pair of PI arm warmers I purchased about 10 years ago that were essentially fleece-lined lycra tubes. The anatomic shape of these warmers creates a very nice fit. Following the sizing chart provided in several websites including Pearl Izumi I purchased a small for my 12.5 inch arms. They are snug at the top but will not slide down and the length is very close to correct. On the road they are very warm but breathe quite well. The shape allows them to fit so well I don't notice I have them on except for the fact I'm warm. Overall excellent performance.
Bought these Pro Barrier Arm Warmers as upgrade to Thermal Lite arm warmers. Used them in 50-60F conditions. They were amazing on a long cold descent. Felt zero wind chill. Fold up nice and small so easy to stash and prevents needs to bring along a full sleeve jacket. The fuller length gets right under a jersey sleeve so no gaps exposed to wind. I will use them with a short sleeve jersey and sleeveless wind vest. Great for temps down to 45F, beyond that I would need more solid body covering. Recommend for cool-cold days but not for freezing days.

Maryville is a great town minus the fact the roads are horrible and there's no Taco Bell... if you don't want a flat tire you better walk. There IS a Taco Johns which doesn't even come close to the taste of Taco Bell!

VNM Series
VNL Series
VNX Series
VHD Series
VAH Series
Alternative Fuels
The VNM 630 is the ideal choice for regional operations in urban environments where you don't want to compromise on fuel efficiency, driver comfort, or safety.
The VNM 630 is a versatile workhorse well suited for any trailer height. And the shorter hood of the VNM series can help you meet strict overall length requirements. Its shorter wheelbase also helps you maneuver in and out of even the tightest delivery spots.
Inside the 61" sleeper, you'll find convenient, common sense storage space. And the full-size bed makes those extra nights on the road a little more pleasant.
The wedge-shaped hood and headlights. The recessed door handles. The streamlined sun visor. The sleek hood mirrors. Every detail has been designed to contribute to the outstanding aerodynamics of the VNM cabs.
A torque-strong Volvo engine perfectly matched to an intelligent I-Shift overdrive transmission – that's the base of the exceptionally efficient XE package. It's fully integrated so you can cruise at 65 mph at a mere 1,150 rpm – 200 rpm lower than an average truck – helping you lower fuel costs as much as 3%. See how the XE solution works (external YouTube link)
Great performance and great fuel economy – Eco-Torque offers the ultimate combination to drive savings to your bottom line. In the top two gears, the engine defaults to a lower torque curve to optimize fuel economy, while the higher torque is still available on demand when you need it. And with a simple software change, you can change torque ratings to put your Volvo truck to work in a new application.
I-Shift is the most intelligent automated manual transmission on the market. It automatically chooses the most fuel-efficient gear, and will often skip gears to help you stay in the sweet spot while getting to your cruise speed faster. Add the clever Eco-Roll function, saving fuel on downhill grades, and you've got yourself a transmission that will help you save fuel, mile after mile. Learn more about I-Shift.
With your VNM 630 and its 61" sleeper, you'll find plenty of comfort when you spend several nights on the road. There's room for two fixed bunks, ample storage with generously sized cabinets with securely closing doors, and space for amenities such as a refrigerator and a TV and DVD player. A sleeper curtain and a wraparound windshield curtain ensures privacy, so you can sleep well and wake up fully rested for the next day's work.
Volvo trucks are famous for their incredible ride. We've designed the whole truck to deliver comfort, from the stiffness of the frame to the geometry of the cab suspension – all integrated to stop unwanted forces and vibrations from reaching the cab. The result is a relaxing driver's environment where you'll feel refreshed, even after a full day behind the wheel.
Few things create as much stress and fatigue as working in a noisy environment. Thankfully, you won't find this in your Volvo truck. The high-strength steel cab of your VNM 630 is well insulated and features double-sealed doors and thick floor covering – all to keep exterior noise out, and making the interior as quiet as many passenger car.
Ergonomics are crucial if you want to feel refreshed even after a full day. That's why we haven't compromised on the driving comfort of our cabs. All seats offer supreme back and lateral support, 7" fore-and-aft slide, front cushion adjustment, power air lumbar, rear cushion adjustment, and fore/aft isolation – and those are just the standard seats. In addition, the steering column and wheel telescope 4.5" and can be tilted a full 32 degrees – helping you find the perfect position for the most comfortable drive. Learn more about the seats.
A quick glance is enough. The over-sized Driver Information Display tells you everything you need to know, including your fuel efficiency, trip mileage, battery voltage, and fluid levels. You can also set it to show the favorite gauges you like to see. And our unique Performance Bonus Display can give you real-time driving feedback to help you increase fuel economy. The interface is available in English, French and Spanish.
Want to know the secret behind the great driveability and superb efficiency of Volvo engines? Just look at the performance curves. Excellent torque even at low RPMs, with a broad range for maximum torque. You'll also see that peak torque overlaps peak power in the mid RPM range, helping you drive both performance and fuel economy. That means you'll notice the difference immediately, whether you work behind the wheel or behind the desk. And you have plenty of power options, from 325 to 500 hp.
Sit. Steer. And smile. Volvo's I-Shift automated manual transmission is more than the driver's preferred choice. It is also a real pleasure to drive. Intelligent electronics automatically put you in the right gear at the right time, letting you keep both hands on the wheel and both eyes on the road. Still, if you want to get more involved, you can. The buttons on the premium shift selector allow you to step in and shift manually. Learn more about I-Shift.
It can happen. If you're in a crash, Volvo's passive safety wraps you in a cocoon of safety. Starting with our high-strength steel cab that exceeds the world's toughest cab safety tests. And in a frontal collision, the engine and transmission are designed to drop down and under the driver, while the steering column and dash absorb impact to help prevent injury. But don't forget that Volvo's standard active safety technologies can help you prevent that crash from ever happening.
Safety has always been Volvo's guiding star. In fact, we invented the 3-point seat belt that is now standard on every car and truck in North America. We are also the only ones to offer a driver's side airbag as standard on every Volvo model. Together, they reduce the chance of being injured in a crash. Nothing is more important.
Good visibility is crucial to avoid crashes. VNM cabs feature a panoramic, one-piece windshield, slim A-pillars, and sloping side windows, all to increase your field of vision. And our wipers use a crossover pattern to more effectively clear the windscreen of rain or snow.
Volvo Enhanced Stability Technology (VEST) is standard on your VNM 630. By monitoring several vehicle parameters, VEST can detect hazardous situations and help you keep control of the vehicle … sometimes before you even realize there's a problem. It automatically reduces engine torque and applies braking to individual wheel ends, to help you mitigate rollovers, jackknifes, or loss of control. Learn more about VEST.
Volvo Enhanced Cruise (VEC) is Volvo's fully integrated radar-based system that helps you maintain a safe following distance in traffic. If you're following too close or a car cuts you off, a buzzer sounds while warning lights are displayed in the dash. And if you don't react in time, VEC can step in by de-throttling the engine and applying brakes – helping you avoid having a really bad day.
Drifting out of lane is a common cause of many crashes. Volvo's Lane Departure Warning is a sophisticated safety system that tracks the road markings with a windshield-mounted camera. Should you unintentionally drift out of the lane, it provides audible and visual alerts to get you back on track.
I-VEB, Volvo's unique integrated engine brake, is highly popular among Volvo drivers. And it's easy to see why. It offers extremely high retardation over the speed range (on the D13, it offers an impressive 310 HP at just 1,500 rpm), without the driver even having to touch the brake pedal. This can help you improve safety … and increase your brake service life. Learn more about I-VEB.
Remote Diagnostics is an innovative service designed to help you keep your truck on the road and making you money. When a truck shows a fault code that needs our attention, it's immediately transmitted to our Customer Uptime Center. They diagnose the fault, contact the decision maker, find the nearest dealer, schedule repairs, confirm parts availability – dramatically reducing diagnostics and repair times. In fact, customers are saving as much as a full day per repair event. Learn more about Remote Diagnostics.
An unplanned stop in the middle of nowhere? Volvo Action Service is there to help you. As soon as the driver calls, our skilled and highly-trained staff immediately set to work with one single mission – to help you get back on the road again as quickly as possible. Volvo Action Service is available 24/7, everywhere in the United States and Canada. Learn more about Volvo Action Service.
ASIST is Volvo's web-based service communication platform. It lets you log in and view the full service history of your trucks and communicate directly with your dealer. You can also receive electronic estimates, approve repairs and issue a purchase order, regardless of the where your truck might be. Learn more about Volvo Action Service.
You depend on your trucks to keep rolling – mile after mile, year after year. That's why we design our trucks to last, and build them only in the USA. We only choose the best available materials, parts, and assembly techniques. The premium quality of a Volvo helps you reduce the risk of unexpected repairs and lower your overall operating costs.
Volvo was the first to choose SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) to meet EPA '10. With our integrated engine and aftertreatment solution, we returned our engines to full performance and fuel economy, while eliminating the need for active regeneration of the diesel particulate filter. That means there is no driver action needed. Nor will you have to park somewhere and perform a regen – losing precious time and fuel. All you have to do is drive.
Interested in buying a new Volvo? Start by talking to a skilled Volvo sales professional who can help you determine how to transform a truck into your ultimate transport solution. You'll start by talking about your business needs for today and tomorrow. Then together you'll spec the right truck to meet those needs, find the best financial deal, and the right coverage and service agreements to keep your truck performing at its best … mile after mile, year after year.

text: Alright, this is like the nine hundred and thirty seventh tutorial that I've created for the website! I love improving my skills for drawing hands so I thought I'd make a tutorial on how to draw hands using my...knowledge. I really can't draw hands that well but I wanted to show my skills as of now. A lot of people have trouble when drawing hands. For me I can't seem to get the hang of drawing the poses for them. As soon as I get my Christmas money I'm buying like three Bleach manga comic books to use as references. Anyways, drawing the human hand is very complex for most mangakas or just plain artists. I see tons of people that have problems with them. Unfortunately I am one of those people but I am working on my skills to help make me better at what I do. Like three weeks ago I came up with a solution that kinda helped me out. That solution will be explained through these hands-on step by step tutorial on how to draw manga and anime hands. The tutorial will be pretty easy. I added a few steps in it that will help you understand the aspects of the hand. I also gave a small pose sample on how I drew my hands =). Well happy hand drawing, I will be back with more anime fun.

Vertigo: 2005/06
London to Brussels.
03 June 2005
London to Brussels.
Back in the saddle after a couple of days actual down time. The tour having conveniently decided to start in Brussels meant I could take the Eurostar (train) from Waterloo station, so could at least avoid having to deal with an airport today. I strolled down to Waterloo only to find that its half term, so all the school kids are on holiday and most of them on the way to Disneyland apparently. Fortunately Belgium is yet to be discovered as a major tourist destination for pre-teen Brits, so once I was through the station rugby scrum and onto the train relative sanity was restored.
Theres a certain sense of full-circle starting the European tour in Belgium, as much of the technology we are using comes from there, so I have been making this train journey regularly since last August. Actually, Ive been making this journey regularly since 1993 when Belgium first began to emerge as the powerhouse of touring video, but thats a longer story.
Once in Brussels I took a cab to the hotel where, in a moment of international fiscal confusion I attempted to pay the cab driver with Canadian dollars (well they do look a bit like Euros) I settled into my room then took a stroll out in the drizzle around the old part of the city which is absolutely lovely. A little later a runner van came to pick me up and ferry me to the stadium. The King/Konig/Roi Bauduoin (depending on which language zone you are from) is the former Heizel stadium, renamed for the previous King of Belgium after the football disaster of 20 years ago. Fortunately it seems that none of that karma remains and the place is a pretty good venue, despite its age. I am delighted that all of these European shows are in stadium buildings rather than the flat-field sites or German car parks which you so often get stuck in on this side of the pond. It makes the whole event so much more civilized for the audience and helps the event feel more intimate, if thats a word that could ever be appropriate for a stadium-full of heaving U2 fans.
Its always a big moment for me to arrive and see the structure for the first time, though the ubiquity of CAD design tools means that (on a good day) you often feel like you have seen this object before. As in this case, the real thing looks just like the drawings. It was looking good too. One side of the sound system was up showing off its sporty paint job, as was about a quarter of the shiny new back wall, each piece being gently hammered into place, negotiating all the other pieces of the puzzle in this giant rubiks cube.
Many parts of the puzzle arent here yet, (most notably those parts which were redesigned by the singer less than two weeks ago.) I am not expecting to have much to look at in terms of lighting and video till Sunday night, so anything before that is a bonus. The last part of the back wall and the b-stage set up arent due till Tuesday, so, as ever, patience will be a key requirement for those of us up the sharp end of the work force.
The mood is up amongst the team despite the periodic rain. Most departments have added personnel to handle the expanded scale of the proposition. Also, there are all of the new drivers ≠ bus and truck ≠ for the European leg, so there are quite a number of new faces about the place. Although when I say new faces I really mean people I havent seen for a while as thereπs barely a person here who I havent worked with before on some tour or other, such is the community of the road. Remembering all the names is a challenge, but I didnt do too badly.
Overall I am very pleased with the way things look so far. The pelmet fascia above the P.A. isnt great so we will have to do something about that and some of the waterproofing looks like it came from a school production of H.M.S. Pinafore, but a man learns to pick his battles at timely moments andbesides, much may be reshuffled when the band arrive.
We snuck out of there about 10pm and went for a walk round the bustling old town in search of beer, frites and mayonnaise. The Grand Place is just spectacular so we sat and watched the world go by over a few Belgian brews before strolling home in the gentle drizzle.

Play GM: Round 3
Feb 26, 2009 at 10:02 »
By consensus at the Steelers draft table, the selection in round 1 was Alex Mack, C, California. In round 2, it was Fenuki Tupou, OT, Oregon.
The players listed below, plus those selected in
Play GM: Round 1,
Play GM: Round 2,
are off the board.
This round is being run a little differently, with the assumption that Alan Faneca's departure to the Jets will yield a round 3 compensatory pick. You will be enabled to select
draft choices in this round, and the two highest vote-getters will win.

I like Cary Harris' size and the fact that he was a three year starter at USC. He doesn't have electric speed, but it doesn't look like any CB did very well in the 40 at the Combine. Looks like he has good instincts though. And though my knowledge of the draft in the later rounds is very limited, I think Cary Harris is the pick here.
Edit - The Michigan NT is also extremely interesting here. Now I am torn. I may change my vote.

The Steelers management crew has made a statement, going OL with its first two picks. With two picks in round 3, will they add another?
With Alex Mack as the center of the future, Justin Hartwig could slide inside to guard. But with so much uncertainty at that position, it might not be a good idea to neglect it in the draft. Kraig Urbik is a 6'5", 328# guard who might be able to fill in at RT in a pinch. Picks up blitzes and twists well, which Kemo did not, but has slow feet. Trevor Canfield is 6'4", 307, but has shorter arms, which might limit him as a RT swing man (think Colon-sized arms). But Canfield plays with a nasty streak, and that's something the line lacked last year. Anchors well in pass pro, but may not be strong enough yet to take on big NTs.
Terrance Taylor is the last of the big program guys to be on the board at NT in the early running, and he put the bar up 37 times in Indy. But his motor and commitment are suspect, and he has turd red flag potential running very high. I personally have him as DND.
Sherrod Martin had a Smoot-like 12 reps at 225#, and ran an average 4.52 40. But he is an intriguing small school guy (Leodis McKelvin came out of Troy last year) who could project to either CB or FS, and that could be intriguing to a team like the Steelers, with potential needs at both spots. AT 6'1", 198, he moves well enough to be a CB, but has hands only slightly better than Ike Taylor.
Rashad Johnson may be a steal at this point. The 5'11", 203# FS from Bama was the QB on the field for the defense. Not a big hitter, and only 15 reps at 225#, Johnson is very canny on the field and anticipates well. Cerebral. Had a disorderly conduct cite.
At 6'0" 187#, Cary Harris may not be as thick as Martin or Johnson, but he did lift the bar 18 times, and had a 4.54 40. Might be better suited to zone defensive schemes, and he's more apt to hit the receiver than to go for the pick (think Ryan Clark). Still, he follows receivers well, and could be a candidate to transition to FS as well.
6'1" 210# WR Brandon Gibson was stuck in Washington State's abysmal season. His receiving totals dropped as a senior, after a 67-catch junior season that netted 1180 yards and 9 TDs. Might be undervalued and overlooked. Good routes and hands, not great YAC despite 4.53 at Indy. Had some knee and heel injuries.
WR Mike Thomas is small, one of those receivers you look at and think "no effin way." At 5'8" (well, 5' 7 7/7") and 195", the diminutive Thomas is likely a slot receiver in the NFL, but he runs crisp routes, has good hands, and showed well at Indy (4.40 40 on a slow track, 40.5" vertical, and 10'6" broad jump). Thomas led the PAC-10 in catches in 2007 with 83, tallying 1038 yards and 11 TDs, and he added 615 kick return yards.
Despite having Farrior, Foote, and Timmons at ILB, no one believes the two veteran LBs, who have started both the 2005 and 2008 Super Bowl campaigns, will last forever. Foote's contract is up next year, and Farrior is 34. ILB is not a need now, but will be. ILB, McKillop, is a shade under 6'1", but has adequate bulk at 244#, decent speed with a 4.74, and he lifted the bar 27 times, more than Mauluga and Laurinaitis. He's fast, tough, and smart, and was up for a bunch of awards. May be underrated, as he's not flashy, a luncpail kind of guy.
ILB McGrath, at a shade under 6'2" and about 231#, only put the bar up 19 times, but ran faster at 4.61. He's got a lot of the same smartness about his play as McKillop, but looks more like a SS, and lifts like one too. Very productive, with 386 career tackles, 137 in 2008. McKillop Lite?

Much as I'd like a guard here, I feel that the best are off the board, and some developmentals in R4 or R5 may be worth a look. I think some WRs who play slot/KR will pop up later.
IMO McKillop is great value here, and can become the more cerebral half of a future McKillop-Timmons ILB squad.
Also took Sherrod Martin, who I think could be a very solid FS, probably one of the better of this class. The fact that he could also possibly play CB helps.

You may notice the odd number of votes (should be impossible if one chooses two -- repeat TWO! -- choices).
That would be due to my stupid ass, always ignoring directions until it's TOO LATE!!
That being said, I voted for the turd. I would have added either Martin or Urbik. Probably Urbik. If I could read directions.

I voted for Johnson. Seems like a Ryan Clark-type player, and I like Clark a lot. He might not work in other places, but he works great in our defense. I'm concerned about his longevity, his health (since he keeps throwing his body around like a cheap beach ball), and the future of that position. You need to build that "quarterback" for our defense for several years before they are ready to start. I'm just increasingly concerned about the position, as awful memories of Brett Alexander keep flashing back.
I have a hard time thinking LB here, as that seems to be less of a need this year. That said, I wouldn't be opposed to McKillop in this spot.
WR Mike Thomas is small, one of those receivers you look at and think "no effin way." At 5'8" (well, 5' 7 7/7") and 195", the diminutive Thomas is likely a slot receiver in the NFL, but he runs crisp routes, has good hands, and showed well at Indy (4.40 40 on a slow track, 40.5" vertical, and 10'6" broad jump). Thomas led the PAC-10 in catches in 2007 with 83, tallying 1038 yards and 11 TDs, and he added 615 kick return yards.
I would think a WR like this could thrive in Pgh, IF we would use him properly (which I doubt with BA). But, will he be available in R4? Could we simply wait? Or could he be a late 3rd pick? Like Lambert, I stupidly only made one pick in R3, but I'd like to see a guy like this get picked.

Of those choices, I'd go Urbick and Harris, though, I don't think either of them will be there. I'd love to get McKillop, but I think he'll last until the 4th or 5th round.
