Shifting to a New House and need a place to store your belongings? Remodeling your home and want to move your stuff out of the way? Or maybe you want to sell your house and want it empty for prospective buyers?
PODS or Portable on Demand Storage is the solution to all your problems. PODS were founded in January 1998 in Clearwater, Florida. It is the brainchild of Peter War Hurst, Roy Courtney, David Revelia and Bill Ash.
The concept of a Portable Storage Container was pioneered by PODS. The PODS containers are brought to your home and you load it yourself, taking as much time as you need. The PODS containers are kept at floor level which makes packing easier. Once the PODS containers are packed, you call their staffs who load the boxes on to their moving vehicles nicknamed “Podzilla�.
The PODS containers are locked with your own padlocks giving you complete control of your possessions. The containers are kept in the Local Warehouse for storage until the customer needs it again. A PODS provides moving options for Long Distance as well as Local Distance moves.
Recently, the PODS service also extended to include a Portable Shelter. The portable shelter includes a Generator, Bathroom and Kitchen and can house up to 5 people for one month. These special shelters serve as Emergency Shelters or Workstations in emergencies. Or, they can be utilized by those who have moved to a new place but have not yet found a place to stay.
The PODS containers have a steel frame with the interiors made of marine grade wood. The container floor is kept 4 inches above the ground and the roof is made of translucent plastic to enable light to enter from above. There is a roll up door at one end. The containers are certified sturdy and weather resistant. They can withstand a wind velocity of up to 110 miles per hour while they are partially full.
PODS are basically a combination of a Moving Truck and Storage Unit. It is more convenient since you don’t have to drive a huge truck all over the city. The boxes are kept at ground level for easy packing and there are no time constraints
PODS containers are easy to book. They can be delivered to you within 24 hours. The PODS are loaded onto the trucks using a hydraulic lift which keeps the containers from being tilted. So, there is no chance of your things falling over one another or getting damaged.
PODS storage is convenient for business people too. You can store your extra inventories, seasonal items, special event materials and even documents in PODS without fear of damaging them.

Husqvarna Motorcycle Revolution
| by Chris Nicholas | April 02, 2008
Husqvarna Motorcycles are a world renown company that has been around since the beginning of the 1900's. In the mid-1900's, Husqvarna motorcycles were untouchable and dominate in every division until a change in ownership made it difficult to keep up with the high demand for production. Since then, Husqvarna has been slowly working its way back into the racing scene but with little success until now. The Husqvarna motorcycle company was sold once again in July of 2007. Will this new change in ownership be enough to bring Husqvarna motorcycles back into the #1 position?
The legend of Husqvarna motorcycles started back when Husqvarna rolled out its first production motorcycle in 1903 from their factory located in Huskvarna, Sweden. Husqvarna has always been known for producing world-class motocross and enduro bikes with unbelievable sling-shot power bands. Husqvarna won many world championships back in the 60's and 70's in both motocross and enduro classes. Husqvarna was winning championships in all of the 125, 250, 350, and 500cc divisions with some years winning multiple championships.
Husqvarna absolutely dominated the competition for decades until 1987 when an Italian company named Cagiva purchased the Husqvarna motorcycle division and moved production to Varese, Italy. Cagiva introduced some new 2-stroke models and did away with the old 2-stoke models which already had numerous championship titles but still kept the same 4-stroke models. The new 2-stroke bikes had difficulty competing with the Japanese made bikes and Cagiva couldn't produce enough bikes and parts to supply the high demand. This change in ownership is why Husqvarna motorcycles and parts became so hard to find causing them to be known more as a rare and exotic motorcycle.
It has been 2 decades now that Husqvarna motorcycles have been struggling to get back into the competition field only taking a world championship here and there, but with a new change in ownership may prove to be the end of the struggle. In July of 2007, the BMW Motor Company decided to purchase the Husqvarna motorcycle company for the sole intention of marketing Husqvarna motorcycles to help market BMW's line of motorcycles. You see, BMW makes large-engine motorcycles and they want to market Husqvarna's small-engine motorcycles to help bring the young crowd’s attention to BMW’s large-engine motorcycles. BMW plans on running Husqvarna just as it is with the same factory and staff.
Now Husqvarna has exactly what it needs with all the financial support of BMW, the world renown car and large motorcycle manufacturer, to help bring Husqvarna back on top of the competition. With 2 world renown companies bringing their ideas together they can start producing larger production factories, more dealerships, new technologies, and millions of dollars in advertisement to let it be known of the new change. This potent mix is going to cause a revolution in motorcycle designs of the future and it is just around the corner!
