I've had several people that are very excited about my new suspense / thriller "The Steel Van Man". So, I thought I would post a little preview of the Foreword and the first chapter (the actual book contains 39 chapters). So, enjoy and please feel free to comment at the bottom. I appreciate your input.

UPDATED: July 11th, 2013
Parents often make up stories for their children, sometimes to entertain them, sometimes to teach them a lesson and sometimes to keep them out of trouble. This story stems from a fictional character my father created at the heart of a tale told to my brother, sister and me when we were children. It was told more or less to teach us to be cautious in encountering strangers, but it was also used to scare us into minding our parents and going to bed. I remember trying to slip out of bed one night and my father saying sternly, "You had better go back to bed or I'm going to call the Steel Van Man." Nothing sent fear flying into my veins like the thought of Dad calling the elusive Steel Van Man.
In my creative mind's eye, the Steel Van Man grew to be a predatory monster feeding on the innocence of children, a monster capable of snatching them from anywhere then completely eluding parents and the authorities. Though this sounds horrific, it did in fact keep me vigilantly aware of my surroundings as a child when on the playground or in the park.
I do not believe that my father ever meant for the Steel Van Man character to scare us as much as it did. Once you let a monster out, however, it's not so easy to put him back.
In 1928, a soviet scientist by the name of Sergei Brukhonenko presented an experiment at an international scientific conference called The Third Congress of Physiologists of the USSR. He intended to prove that deceased organisms could be revived— including the brain.
Brukhonenko conducted the experiments, proving that a head could indeed be kept alive by a primitive heart/lung machine and ran extensive tests on the subject. His science, however, has often been questioned. As proof of his experiment and to show that the head wasn't just part of the corpse, a film was recorded of Brukhonenko performing a series of tests. He shines a light in the head's eyes, causing it to blink. Then he hits the table with a hammer, and the subject's head reacts as well. Finally, he feeds the head a small piece of cheese, which lands on the table at the other end of the esophageal tube.
From that day forward, controversy and speculation traveled the world over. Scientists divided in two groups: those who accepted the medical possibility and those who were skeptical. The latter suggested that the film might be pure Soviet propaganda or simply medically impossible.
What is interesting, however, is that many physicians actually gave credit to Brukhonenko's experiment in scientific journals, legitimizing the whole affair.
All Jimmy Martinez could hear as he gained consciousness was a methodical swoosh, swoosh, swoosh. He opened his eyes and saw only black. His heart began to race. I'm blind. Oh God no—I'm blind. Jimmy's head was pounding, making it nearly impossible to think clearly. What the hell happened last night? He opened his mouth to ask if anyone were there, but words would not come. He realized suddenly that he was cold—icy cold—his legs, arms and torso freezing. His body was tingling, half asleep. Where am I—and why is it so damn cold in here?
Blinking back the darkness, Jimmy finally saw a sliver of light. The light grew brighter but was blurry, a cold white blade slowly penetrating his head. He closed his eyes again—so tired—and his head hurt so bad. He half remembered something, but his head felt heavy, thick. Anniversary. Mojitos. Too much to drink. My beautiful wife Elena…so lovely. Damn—can't think. Only pieces and parts.
Clarity faded. Jimmy's eyelids grew heavy and he fell back asleep.
Birds chirping. A cardinal? Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh went the sound.
Jimmy slowly, cautiously opened his eyes. Piercing light. Felt like an ice pick driven into his head. Damn.
His vision cleared a little and he could just make out a blurry form. He squinted, straining to focus. It looked like Elena sitting on a chair. "Elena?" he tried to say, but no sound. Her name came out mouthed—no words, no breath. He tried to take a deep breath but could not. He felt strange. Choked.
Jimmy stared at his wife, trying to make her out. The warm light filtered down on her beautifully and he recognized the gray dress she had been wearing the night before. Her head was cocked sweetly to the side—admiring him? She was wearing a scarf. Was it red? Tough to tell. So blurry. She is sitting so still. Is she asleep?
"Elena?" he mouthed again. His mouth felt dry, parched. Water. He needed water badly. He reached for the end table, but his arm wouldn't move. It was numb, tingly. Jimmy strained to look down at his arm, but his head wouldn't move either. Paralyzed? Am I paralyzed? Panic overcame him.
A knocking at the door followed immediately by the doorbell. "Elena," he mouthed again. His vision was beginning to clear. His wife looked strange.
Elena was not wearing a scarf. The scarf was her bloody throat, slit ear to ear. Dear God, no—his beautiful wife—gone. She sat facing him, her head cocked to one side and covered in blood, staring wide-eyed in his direction. Tears filled his eyes and escaped down his cheeks. My sweet beautiful Elena. Oh no—please God, no!
Someone called out to him from far away.
"Hello? Jimmy? Jimmy—are you home?" The voice was muted, distant and disconnected. As Jimmy lay staring in horror and grief at Elena, his sobs were silent, his overwhelming grief finding no outward expression. Who would do such a thing? And why? Why Elena?
His mind jumped to their four-year-old daughter Chanel, and a bolt of fear shot through him. Chanel—our precious little Chanel. Is she alive—is she safe? The ensuing panic engulfed him.
Jimmy's head lay on the pillow, turned sideways. He strained, but could barely make out the door. Jimmy knew the voice was that of his friend Jeff. He looked at the bottom of his visual plane toward the door frame, fearing what his friend Jeff was about to encounter as he walked into the room, but was incapable of warning him of the awaiting horror.
"Jimmy?" Jeff inquired tentatively as he stepped through the door.
Jimmy watched Jeff stop rigid in his tracks. Jeff looked over at Jimmy, then at Elena, then back to Jimmy. "Holy shit—fuck! Jimmy—Jimmy! Jesus Christ, Jimmy!"
Staring in horror at Jimmy, Jeff's face grew even more ashen than it had reacting to Elena. Jimmy's thoughts raced out of control. What does he see? What is it? Talk to me, Jeff—damn it—talk to me!
Jeff's shocked expression fell quite suddenly to one of morbid grief, his hand flying to his hair and eyes flooding with tears. "Sweet Jesus," he moaned, turning and tripping over a chair as he stumbled from the room. Jeff barely made it to the bathroom before dropping to his knees at the toilet and vomiting.
Minutes passed as Jimmy lay there, unable to move, uncertain of exactly what Jeff had seen when he looked Jimmy's way—something that Jimmy couldn't see—but whatever it was, it had affected him even more than the bloody sight of Jimmy's wife Elena.
Jeff entered the room again with an air of trepidation that was palpable. "Um—Jimmy? Jimmy—can you hear me?" Jeff asked with the tender concern of a small child.
"Yes," Jimmy mouthed.
Jeff could see Jimmy mouth "yes."
"Holy shit, Jimmy…fuck." Jeff's chest was heaving up and down as he strove hard for self-control. "Stay calm, man—stay calm, Jimmy. I—I'll call 9-1-1, Jimmy."
Tears rolled down Jimmy's face as he was forced to look at the horror of his mutilated dead wife locked in the blurred frame of his paralyzed view. He closed his eyes hard. Try to concentrate on the night before. Remember your beautiful Elena on your final night together.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh went the sound.
Minutes passed. From what seemed like far away, Jimmy heard Jeff say "…just please, you have to get someone here…please hurry…there's not much time…"
Jimmy heard a door close. Jeff leaving? Darkness overcame him, and he passed out.
Detective Stanley Devonshire sat in the kitchen of the colonial house he and his wife Victoria had built during the early years of their marriage. Stan and his teenage son Jonah were finishing lunch on this idle Saturday when the call came in that there was a multiple homicide on Plymouth Avenue.
"Devonshire," he answered.
Jonah watched as his father responded rather matter-of-factly with "uh huh" several times. Then suddenly his father's eyes went wide. Whatever the news was, it must be bad.
So often Jonah had wished that his father could be like other dads—go to the office, ride the train home, eat dinner and toss around the ball—those little things all the other fathers and sons did. But ever since Jonah's mother had died, he'd found it more difficult to see his father go on fighting crime. Their small town was far from the crime capital of the world, but there were still times Jonah really worried about his father's safety. He remembered his mother's last words as she lay in the hospital after being hit by the car. Jonah had promised her that he would look after his father, something that the then ten-year-old boy had found more difficult than he'd imagined. Even now, ten years after his mother's death, Jonah still had difficulty watching his father walk out the door every day. Each time, he couldn't help but wonder if it might be the last time he would see his father.
Stan hung up and stared at his son. "It's a murder. I have to go. Keen and Roberts are already over there."
"Okay," Jonah said maintaining his reserve. "But Dad?"
"Yeah?" Stan answered, snatching his mobile off the table and preparing to leave.
"Be careful."
Stan lowered his chin and shot a glance at his son as if to say "yeah right."
"I'm serious, Dad."
"The vic is already dead—what could possibly happen to me?"
"Okay, okay. I will." Jonah stared back at his father with his mother's deep gray eyes—eyes so much like his mother's that Stan could almost feel Victoria looking at him. "I promise, son—I'll be careful."
Stan reached over and smiling affectionately, tossed his son's brown hair. Then he walked out the door.
Officer Keen intercepted Detective Devonshire the second he stepped up out of his car. "What'cha got?" Stan asked Keen, walking quickly alongside him toward the house.
"Dead woman. Thirty-three years old. Throat slit."
"Yeah? Who found her?"
"Friend of the husband. Jeff Auberdine."
"How bad is it?"
"Bad," Keen said, "real bad."
Stan nodded, still not comprehending the gravity of the situation. "Throat slit. Yeah, I'd say that's pretty bad."
"Oh—much worse than that," Keen said, locking eyes with him.
Stan stopped in his tracks halfway up the drive and looked at Keen. "Worse than a woman's throat being cut?"
"Much worse," Keen replied. He now had Stan's full attention.
Stan looked around at the dreary day as a light drizzle fell and cold air chilled the neighborhood. An ambulance sat parked in the drive, radios squawking. A paramedic walked out of the house to grab a bag.
"Hey," Stan called out. "What's the situation—why are you guys here? I thought it was a dead woman." The paramedic shot some kind of knowing look at him, sighed and shook his head. He grabbed the bag and headed back inside with Stan in tow.
The floor had a piece of plastic laid down between the foyer and the bedroom that CIU had put in place to preserve evidence. Stan's feet made a crinkling sound as he walked atop the plastic sheeting following the EMT.
As he approached the bedroom, Stan noticed the paramedic he'd seen earlier and one other EMT standing in the room. At first glance, he saw the woman, sheet draped over her on the chair. There was something on the bed, but with the two paramedics partially blocking his view, he couldn't make out what it was.
Glancing over at the wall, Stan saw a photograph of Jimmy Martinez, his wife Elena and their little girl—all smiles—looking back at him. This is Jimmy's house, he thought, dismayed. Although he didn't know Jimmy Martinez well, he and Jonah frequented the couple's diner on Paradise Road.
Stan stepped around the two EMTs to discover something he could never have imagined—a head, sitting on the pillow of the bed, tubes coming out of what was left of a neck attached to some machine on the other side of the bed. It was Jimmy all right…what was left of him anyway. "What in bloody hell?" he half whispered in shock.
Keen shot him a look. "He's still alive," Keen said softly in Stan's ear.
Stan's hand flew to his face, his fingers spread out and clamping his mouth in disbelief. "What? No way. Not possible."
One of the EMTs chimed in, sounding as if he didn't believe his own words. "He's being kept alive by this heart bypass machine with an oxygen infuser. Never seen anything like this in my life. Never even…imagined it." The EMT paused, shaking his head side to side, still in shock himself. "We need to get him to Salem Hospital. We're heading over there in a moment. We just have to secure the machine for transport and make sure that what's left of this guy is stable enough for transport."
In all his years as a cop, all the training that he had completed, the films he'd seen and the classes taken on trauma, nothing could have prepared Stan for what he was looking at now. He stepped quietly forward, leaning and looking closer, studying the head. Currently unconscious, Jimmy's head faced the woman who was draped in the white sheet. Stan turned and walked over to the woman, carefully lifting the sheet and shaking his head sadly.
"What?" asked Keen.
"I know her. It's his wife Elena."
"Sarah and I are regulars at Jimmy's place on Paradise, too," Keen replied.
"You, me and half the fisherman in Manatahqua Point," Stan uttered in a hushed tone.
Keen left the room. "Oh, man…Jimmy." Stan wasn't sure what the primary emotion was in that moment—abject horror or compassion. He simply stood staring at Jimmy's severed head, unconscious on the pillow and being pumped with life-giving fresh blood that worked its way through the machine. "Dear God, Jimmy, what in holy hell did this guy do to you?" he wondered aloud in a horrified whisper.
Stan looked over at the EMTs. "You—what's your name?" he asked the portly forty-year-old with dark hair. The man turned his head to the side, looking over at him.
"Paul—Paul Soiref."
"Is he…is there any chance at all he's going to live?"
Paul shook his head. "Doubt it—but I really don't know for sure. I don't see how, but then I've never seen anything remotely like this before. Whoever set this up, knew exactly what he was doing. He basically set up a heart bypass machine here and it's connected to an ECMO."
"English, man—speak English," Stan said, frustrated.
"Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation machine. I've only seen this type of unit twice before. It's used on intensive-care patients—serves as their lungs and heart in extreme cases." He looked at Jimmy's severed head and cocked an eyebrow. "Doesn't get any more extreme than losing your body, does it?" The man mumbled, his words indicative of continued disbelief.
"Where is the rest of the body?" Devonshire asked.
Paul shrugged. "You are looking at exactly what we saw when we got here. No clue."
Stan looked around the room from where he stood trying to get a grasp on the scene. "Can you transport him—what's left of him—safely?"
"I think so. The machine has its own built-in battery unit that will keep it going for at least forty-five minutes. We should be able to unplug it and transport what's left of him with it. We're just waiting for MedFlight to get here. They'll land in the courtyard outside and we'll fly him over to Salem. It'll be the safest way to do it."
Stan nodded and left the room. Time to survey the rest of the house. He found Keen and Officer Roberts sitting at the table in the kitchen talking with Jeff and taking his statement. Jeff supported his head with both hands, clearly in shock.
Officer Keen informed Stan that this was Jeff Auberdine who had been here when they arrived. Stan sat down and flashed his shield. "I'm Detective Devonshire—sorry, I know this is rough. To the best of your knowledge, has anyone disturbed the scene or is everything exactly as you saw it when you arrived here?"
"I didn't touch anything, although a lot of cops have been going in and out," Jeff replied numbly. Jeff dropped his hands from around his face and looked Stan straight in the eyes. "Why would someone do something like this—why? And where is Chanel?" he added.
Stan looked over at Keen and asked, "Jimmy and Elena have a four-year-old girl. She wasn't here when you arrived?"
Keen shook his head. "I have Roberts and Palmer canvassing the neighborhood trying to find her."
Stan's face paled. Mother's throat slit. Father decapitated. And where is the little girl? Dear God—where is that little girl?

With gold breaking to record highs, Dow theorist Richard Russell takes on the world's most famous gold bear, Warren Buffett (via King World News):
When investment "geniuses" like Warren Buffet displays his ignorance by denouncing gold, it adds little to his legacy. Warren's dad, Howard supported the gold standard). Warren Buffett's problem is that he only understands balance sheets and earnings. The value of a Picasso or a gem diamond or a bar of gold is outside Buffett's understanding. Which is sad, because Buffett's lack of understanding has kept many an American on the sidelines while gold surged higher in terms of Buffett's beloved paper currencies.
Russell says gold is on its way to $6,000:
This time, gold has, so far, only multiplied five times -- from 255 to 1430. If gold was to repeat its 1970 performance and multiply 24 times, it would rise to over 6,000. But there's a difference between the two gold bull markets: This time the other half of the world's population (China, India, Asia) has been added to the mix. And this time, the very viability of fiat currencies is a part of the picture."
Buffett riled up the goldbugs with various comments last week on CNBC. For instance:
"If you took all the gold in the world, it would make a 67 ft cube. It would be worth about $7 trillion, about a third of the value of all the stocks in the U.S. So you can own gold, which can do nothing, or stocks. You could also have farmland. If you gave me the choice, between all the farmland in the country, stocks like ExxonMobile, or gold, I'd choose the stocks and the farmland."

I. Introduction
The 1982 and 1988 Board of Regents Policy on Extension assigned cooperative responsibilities and shared authority for the extension function to UW-Extension and the other UW institutions. In addition, the 1988 Regent policy on joint appointments (since identified as collaborative appointments) of faculty/staff between UW-Extension and the other UW institutions provide these individuals with faculty and academic staff standing within UW-Extension. These policies set the tone for a true partnership among UW System institutions to extend their resources to the people of Wisconsin and to achieve mutual public recognition of this important work. Extension programs and their concrete benefits to professionals, businesses and communities throughout the state are among the best public relations tools available to the UW System and its individual institutions.
The unique structure of the extension function in Wisconsin, with its shared mission between
UW-Extension and the other UW institutions, its distinct but interrelated roles and responsibilities for the planning and delivery of programs, and its use of collaborative appointments for faculty/staff, presents a special challenge in how each participating institution is identified for the public and key decision-makers.
The challenge is to expand and reinforce the identity of the extension function to achieve more widespread public support, recognition, and fiscal resources to benefit all UW institutional extension programs and their contributions to the people of the state.
The UW System Board of Regents recognized this challenge in their May 1988 policy on integration of the extension function by mandating:
"Consistent use of the term "extension" to identify UW institutional extension units, faculty and staff and programs within the statewide extension function."
To implement this policy, the Regents charged the Chancellor of UW-Extension, in consultation with the other UW institutional chancellors, to develop and implement as soon as feasible:
"A format for uniform identification of extension units, programs and faculty and staff of the UW institutions."
The policies and guidelines in this document recognize that the extension function is planned and implemented through the collaborative effort and shared authority between UW-Extension and the other UW institutions. They call for clear and consistent identification of the various elements of this collaborative relationship.
II. Policies and Procedures for Identification of Institutions, Units, Programs, and Faculty/Staff Responsible for the Extension Function
The following policies provide the faculty/staff and administrators directly involved with the extension function of the UW institutions opportunities to share in the responsibility to improve public perceptions and support for extension programs. They provide opportunities for:
- each UW institution to be publicly identified with its extension programs;
- enhancement of public perceptions and support of the extension function, and appreciation of the benefits of the extension of University resources to families, farms, businesses, and communities;
- recognition by the public and key decision-makers of a coordinated, Systemwide extension program that can be identified with the public funding appropriated to UW-Extension.
The following policies apply to all programs and resources identified in the annual interinstitutional agreements between UW-Extension and the other UW institutions.1 They require the support and cooperation of all administrators, units/departments, faculty/staff, and public information offices throughout the UW System.
A. Identification of Institutional Affiliation with the Extension Function
- Both the UW Institution and UW-Extension will be publicly identified with the programs, departments/units, and faculty/staff involved in the extension function as identified in the interinstitutional agreements, whether the program is sponsored primarily by the institution or primarily by UWEX.
- The standard identifier for publicly identifying this institutional affiliation will be:
"UW-Institution/Extension" or "UW-Institution and UW-Extension."
- Both cooperating institutions will be prominently identified in similar type size and location on brochures, catalogues, publications, press and promotional materials for UW institutional extension units and programs. Likewise, UWEX programs employing the resources of other UW institution(s) will identify those institution(s).
- In addition to the standard identifier, other statements may be added to these materials.For example:"UW-Institution and UW-Extension — working together to fulfill the Wisconsin Idea.""UW-Institution and UW-Extension — partners in the Wisconsin Idea.""UW-Institution and UW-Extension — bringing the resources of the University to the people of Wisconsin."The phrase "Funded in part by funds administered through UW-Extension" or variations thereof are not acceptable as either the primary identifier or additional statement.
- Because of federal requirements, franked mail letterhead for Cooperative Extension integrated departments must include the UWEX logo, the designation University of Wisconsin-Extension, and the Cooperative Extension Service identification at the top. Other titles, emblems and logos may also be used for identification.
- Federal requirements also call for identification of the U.S. Small Business Administration on all printed materials of the Small Business Development Center/Business Outreach units of the UW institutions.
B. Identification of UW Institutional Units Responsible for the Extension Function
To simplify public and media understanding and create a uniform image of the extension function on all campuses, the word "Extension" will be incorporated into the titles of the central administrative unit responsible for the extension function at each institution.
It is recognized that some of these units within the UW institutions are responsible for more activities than the extension programs funded through the Interinstitutional Agreements. The following examples are offered as ways to incorporate the word "Extension" into the titles of units and divisions responsible for extension programming:
"UW-Institution Division of Extension and Continuing Education"
"UW-Institution Extension/Outreach"
"UW-Institution Extension and Summer Sessions"
C. Identification of Institutional Extension Programs:
To maintain a clear, consistent, and uniform identity and support for the UW institution and the extension function, the word "extension" will be used to identify extension programs funded through Interinstitutional Agreements between each UW institution and UW-Extension.
While the primary identifier will go to the sponsoring UW institution, programs will be clearly identified with the extension function in news releases, publications, reports, and introductions. Because news media will not use an unlimited number of designations for multiple cooperating institutions and departments, the easiest way to identify programs with the extension function is to designate both cooperating institutions on the press release letterhead, and to simply use the word 'extension' as a modifier in the copy.
The following examples are offered to recognize the extension function, as well as the UW institutional affiliation of integrated extension programs:
"The extension program at UW-Stout will feature … "
"An October workshop for social workers has been announced by the UW-Milwaukee Division of Extension and Continuing Education. The extension program will focus on …"
"Circulation managers from throughout the midwest have been invited to a University of Wisconsin-Madison extension conference November 8-9."
"An extension program exploring the role of the nurse as a family counselor will be offered by the UW-Green Bay."
"The program is offered by the UW-Whitewater in cooperation with UW-Extension."
"The program is offered through a partnership between UW-Oshkosh and UW-Extension."
D. Identification of Faculty/Staff With Collaborative Appointments
The goal of achieving a clear and uniform identity for the extension function of the UW institutions can be enhanced by referencing the extension function when describing activities of faculty/staff holding collaborative appointments. This can be accomplished either by using the "little e" extension identifier or by identifying both cooperating institutions. Following are some examples to achieve this goal:
"Jane Doe, extension music professor at UW-Superior …"
"According to John Jones, UW-Platteville extension agronomist …"
"UW-Whitewater Business Professor Jane Doe will teach the seminar, which is offered by the UW-Whitewater Small Business Development Center in cooperation with UW-Extension."
"The weekend workshop, offered by the UW-Green Bay in partnership with UW-Extension, will be led by UW-Green Bay economist John Doe."
"(Publication) by Assistant Professor John Jones, extension landscape architect, UW-Milwaukee, and Professor Jane Doe, extension horticulturist, UW-Madison."
III. Summary
Extension, as both an institution and a function of the UW System, has achieved considerable statewide identity and support over the past 24 years — an identity that is crucial to continued public and fiscal support for the extension programs of all the UW institutions. Thus, it is vital that an identity for the extension function be maintained and strengthened throughout the state. In Wisconsin, the University tradition throughout this century has been to use the word "extension" to define the extension of its programs and resources beyond the boundaries of its campuses. The consistent use of the word "extension" will enhance public perceptions of a unified, coordinated, Systemwide extension effort in which each university and center performs a unique and important role.
- This is interpreted to mean that Category 2 programs as defined in UW System Administrative Policy 125 (SYS 125), Supplementary Administrative Guidelines for UW System Implementation of Regent Policies on Integration of the Extension Function ,II.B.2. are excluded from this policy.

A tremendous loss for the 3-69 AR BN and The Citadel family. My son is in the same battalion.
UPDATE: An obituary has been published. you can find it on this web site:
Army Sgt. Aaron X. Wittman, '07, was killed Jan. 10 in Khogyani District, Nangarhar Province, Afghanistan when his unit was attacked by small arms fire while on mounted patrol. He was assigned to the 3rd Battalion, 69th Armor Regiment, 1st Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division, Fort Stewart, Ga.
"I'll never forget Aaron's humor and optimism, even in the worst of situations," said Wesley Walker, '06.
Wittman, 28, was the first U.S. casualty of 2013. A former member of Lima Company, Wittman is the 18th alumnus to be killed in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. Wittman was on his second combat deployment and had previously been awarded a Bronze Star and a Purple Heart.

On May 16, Reddit user humanpizza posted a photo to r/hockeyjerseys, one which they claimed to be the upcoming third jersey catalog from Adidas. Coming a year after all 31 teams unveiled their Adizero homes and aways, the news was well-expected, albeit a bit earlier than anyone thought. 19 jerseys were named, although all were labelled "confidential."
So far, we've seen 3 revealed, 2 of which are new, but familiar in their own ways. While the Flyers opted to bring back their black thirds from last season, the Coyotes brought back a fan favourite when the original Kachina homes made their grand return to the desert. Meanwhile in Carolina, a new version of their beloved black alt — now featuring two warning flags, and a negative space North Carolina — was unveiled, one that has won over fans.
But what about the rest? With the league not being afraid to experiment, or even re-experiment as seen with the return of the Avs' and Coyotes' beloved 90s jerseys, what can we expect from the remaining 16 teams?
Anaheim Ducks
Face it, every hockey fan who grew up in the 1990s — or has a heart — wants one thing: the return of the Mighty Ducks in some way. Years after new ownership overhauled the identity following the sale from Disney, Wild Wing has been returning in larger ways, first as the shoulder patch in the Ducks' thirds-turned-primaries, then finally brought back as the main crest on their florescent orange alt up until the Adizero switch.
With the reveal date set for this upcoming Saturday — at a season ticket holder beach party, no less — will the Ducks give the people what they want? According to a source per Icethetics, the jersey will be black and will feature the Wild Wing crest, so it appears so. Perhaps something like this?
My Anaheim Ducks adidas jersey concept. Would've liked to see a Mighty Ducks theme. Thoughts?

Calgary Flames
As with the Ducks, retro will prevail. Unless they go in a far out direction, it's time to bring back the original reds.
However, the Flames have stalled numerous times in seeing them return. Although they made their return as full-time alternates in 2009, they were briefly shelved for three years in favour of these. It would itself briefly return a season before the Adizero switch.
Face it, the fans love it. The players look good in them. They're one of the sharpest sets in NHL history, far from the not-as-vibrant set they wear now. What kind of flame is black, anyway?
Colorado Avalanche
The Avs were one of the teams that lost a beloved alt in the Edge to Adizero switch. The throwback to the Colorado Rockies days — given a new, navy twist — proved to be a fan favourite, even going as far as being rumoured to be the new primaries in 2017.
The Avs are well aware of this, so expect them to bring this back in some form. The question is, will they keep the navy, or perhaps go in a different direction. Being that they brought back the beloved "mountain striping" jerseys of the glory days, perhaps they go more radical in their thinking? A light blue or burgundy third with the Rockies crest maybe? Something like this by Icethetics submitter Nick Burton would be great.
Columbus Blue Jackets
A lot of these teams settled into third jersey looks that, well, worked. One of them was the Blue Jackets, whose cannon jersey lasted 7 years.
The cannon was introduced in 2010, alongside a mascot that gained notoriety for other reasons. Since then, it's divided fans, some saying it should be made the full-time home, with others dismissing it as typical NHL faux-vintage.
Although reports say it will return, I sort of want them to go in an abstract direction. After all, what are third jerseys for, right? Who doesn't want to see the Jackets decked out in red versions of their homes, or a navy-and-red version of the cannon? James Taylor's concept on Icethetics brings to mind what could be done.
Edmonton Oilers
According to Icethetics, the blues will be back as the new thirds, to the joy of most Oilers fans presumably. But the Oilers' colour scheme change last year leaves one question: royal or navy blue?
While a royal blue jersey would be familiar — and have five Stanley Cups associated with them — a navy version with the orange yolk would be unique. Or, if we're in a creative mood, something without the yoke, essentially their 1996-2007 navy set with orange instead of copper and red. I'm thinking something like this.
Los Angeles Kings
As much as I'd love to see the Kings embrace forum blue and gold once again, it's really obvious they're dead-set on their Raiders silver and grey. So expect them to once again bring a grey alternate into the fold.
That being said, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. And the Kings' latest grey offering — their 50th anniversary jersey — was the best of them, and maybe some white added to the mix — and the 50th anniversary details removed, of course — could be a great improvement and a sharp look.
New Jersey Devils
The New Jersey Devils were a surprise in the Adizero catalog page that got leaked, being that they have never had a regular third, partly because it was verboten under Lou Lamoirello. However, Lou is long gone, and being that their Adizero makeover is unpopular, could we see the old homes return? Or, as many are expecting, the classic Christmas tree jerseys?
However, I'd like to propose a compromise. What if we got a unique mix of the two? How about, say, a near-black green, set in a combination of the 1982 and 1992 jerseys? One can dream.
New York Islanders
The Islanders' last few stabs at alternates have generally been misses. After the Brooklyn black and white, like their arena situation there, went awry, the Isles are expected to go with a prominently orange jersey with the "NY" crest, as per Icethetics.
Of course, Isles orange makes one remember the last time they made that venture. While some fans remember those fondly, by the description so far (orange jersey, blue shoulders), it's possible this one could quickly join its fellow Isles alts in a few years.
Of course, it's possible it won't be a dud. The last orange jersey lasted 5 years, and as the Islanders usher in their post-Tavares era/Lou era, this could be one of its symbols. Don't forget Lou is in charge now, and given his distaste for anything untraditional, it could indeed end up surprising us.
Pittsburgh Penguins
The Pens finally figured everything out in 2016, when vegas gold went… well, to Vegas, and the Pens finally brought back their beloved early 90's gold and black jerseys. In their first alternate since the switch, I say take it back a little further. Did someone say Sunday jerseys?
I'm talking about the gold jersey, introduced in 1981 as an occasional home jersey worn on Sundays, which would briefly become the full-time home until 1984, just in time for rookie Mario Lemieux to don them in the pre-season. Since then, the Pens have worn gold once, at the 2017 Stadium Series at Heinz Field.
But with the team having embraced the Lemieux-era black and gold full time, why not bring back the gold thirds? Being that third jerseys were created to market to fans, I can't think of a better jersey to market than this one.
St. Louis Blues
The Blues hit one out of the park with their 2017 Winter Classic jersey, modelled after their inaugural threads. Although their previous full-time alternate lasted a good 8 years, the Blues have rarely worn throwbacks, the last time being in 2003-04 when their late 70s set was worn for a few games as part of the NHL vintage program.
So why fix what ain't broke? The Winter Classic ones were popular, and look pretty sharp, and offer something different, especially in comparison to the current modern Blues. Expect that we haven't seen the last of them.
San Jose Sharks
Two years ago, the Sharks introduced a new set of logos, at the time for use at the Sharks' Los Tiburones Night. Designed by Terry Smith — the same man who designed every Sharks logo from the beginning — these logos have been rumoured to make a splash (couldn't resist) for some time. Last year, they would be added to the new Adizero jerseys' shoulders. This year, they may make the jump to primary logo.
The Sharks have been rumoured to be bringing back their black alternates in some way — after all, their original set was one of the sharpest of its time. Bringing the "yelling shark" (as it's been lovingly named) to the front of one of those would indeed be sharp.
Tampa Bay Lightning
Tampa Bay's current look is pretty boilerplate when it comes to hockey jerseys. For a team that came into the league over 25 years ago, with an abstract name and location, you wouldn't guess these were the kind of jerseys they would be wearing now.
That's why myself — and many fans — would love to see a return to black, one which puts an actual logo in the centre instead of, well, a diagonal "Bolts." The original logo is favoured by Tampa fans, although it still looks like it was scribbled by Phil Esposito on a cocktail napkin (actually true), while the 2007 updated logo is a far, far improvement, but one that doesn't fit with the Bolts' current branding.
So while slapping their current logo on a black jersey wouldn't be out of left field, I'm curious if something new could come from this. A new alternate-specific logo would be a welcome addition, one that would potentially make the jump to primary in a few years. However, since people love nostalgia, expect something like this to be unveiled.
Toronto Maple Leafs
The Leafs have been on a roll with their jerseys over the past few seasons. After ditching the Ballard logo for the new, updated veiny Leaf, and rolling out a great set of throwbacks for their 100th anniversary, things look good in terms of a Leafs third.
Again as per Icethetics, sources say the St. Pats jerseys worn in 2017 could be returning. Like the other Original Six teams, the Leafs have a ton of throwbacks to choose from, and the St. Pats are definitely at the top. While I'd love to have seen their blue-shoulder yoked aways — famously the Leafs' thirds from 2000 to 2007, and again from 2008 to 2011 — make a return, the St. Pats are a fun third, almost like the real life version of putting your team in one of the vintage jerseys in the NHL games. There's also not enough kelly green in the league, so no complaints.
Vancouver Canucks
The Canucks have stuck with the orca for 20 years now. A lot has happened since then, including a certain not-so-beloved Canucks captain and a Cup run. However, like the Sedins did this past season, it's time to move on.
With Seattle pretty much a done deal, and with the team likely taking the lead from its other sports teams and wearing green, expect the Canucks to take a different route with their alt. While I'd be on board for a whole new identity — after all, it's been over a decade since the Canucks went back to the blue and green — the "spaghetti skate" of the Bure and Linden days remains popular, as seen when the Canucks wore them a couple of seasons ago.
Will the "spaghetti skate" return, potentially full-time? Although there's nothing very "Canuck"-ish about them, it does bring back a flood of nostalgia for fans. The Canucks haven't done anything left field with their identity since bringing the orca in, but as the Sedins era rides off into the sunset, and the Boeser era begins, seeing the team throw everything in trash for something else would be great.
Washington Capitals
The Cup champs have played it safe with alternates over the past few years. Ever since returning to their red and blue colour scheme in 2007, we've seen their original red and blues return a few times over the years, both the home and away at different points.
But while the Caps' vintage set is definitely a likely thing, the Caps could go into a far, far more different direction. As seen last year at the Stadium Series, the Caps finally delved into something navy, one which included a "caps" logo. Something like that, perhaps with the "Weagle" finally making its appearance in front of a jersey, could be unveiled this summer. However, as the Caps seem happy with their vintage set, it's likely we won't get much change.
Winnipeg Jets
Ever since returning in 2011, the Jets have pretty much tried to start from scratch in terms of branding. Until finally caving in and wearing WHA throwbacks for the 2016 Heritage Classic, the Jets barely wore anything to acknowledge their predecessor.
This could change, though. With their first alternate lined up, we could see a slow shift to something like the WHA throwbacks, if not those. After all, with their 24 years of existing, there's enough throwbacks to choose from.

The Tuesday Sitía-Athens run was not (at least in mid-October, which it now was) one of Aegean Airlines' busiest, and we found only three or four people waiting inside the terminal when we arrived. The facility seemed pretty basic, but I think it was a temporary building serving until a more imposing edifice was completed. I'm not sure of the time-scale, though—the picture above was taken no later than 2007, and I can't find any buildings in it. (But my eyes aren't what they used to be.)
Several more passengers showed up during the hour before the flight—there was obviously nothing sacred about the requirement to come an hour early. When it was time to board the airliner—far from the largest in Aegean's fleet, I'm sure—there were plenty of empty seats. We had a short, smooth flight whose progress I followed on my iPad, trying to figure out which Aegean islands we were passing over by comparing the shapes on the map with what I could see through my window.
From the moment we got off the plane, everything ran smoothly (perhaps because we didn't need to use an ATM), and a taxi carried us to Athens in what was still an early-morning calm, impeded neither by traffic jams nor public demonstrations of the people's wrath at their government, the European Bank, the IMF, or Mrs. Merkel. (Like the taxis we'd taken three weeks earlier, this one carefully avoided the seat of government in Syntagma Square, where virtually all the demonstrations and near-riots that made for exciting TV news footage had been taking place. But on this peaceful morning I don't think much was going on even there.)

How To Fix Basic Home Plumbing Problem
As a homeowner you always become frustrated instantly when you discover that a part or the entire plumbing system has been compromised. This is first because you may not be able to do some task like using the bath and secondly you will need to spend some money to pay a plumber to do the fixing. For those living in Singapore, they should not get annoyed any time they spot a plumbing problem because you can apply basic skills to get it fixed. It's always advisable to call a plumber in whatever part of Singapore you are but as you are going to see in a while, there are common problems which just need DIY skill to get it done. They have been tried by most home owners and they became satisfied thereafter. Don't get stressed because of the following plumbing system problems since you can have them fixed by yourself if you do like to be a handyman by yourself.
Clogged Toilets
It is as well very annoying to discover that after using your toilet, you can barely flush out water and the waste matters. You will be very much stressed because other members of the family may not use the same toilets. In most cases this problem does occur when the flashing system has its main cable for pulling water from the tank broken. You just need to tie it back and the water may now flush. The problem could also be because the tank is less of water. The last but not the least with this problem before calling a plumber is to directly pour water from a bucket into the closet.
Water from the Shower is cold
Does the water from your tub or shower cold than it has been yet you have warmed it up? There comes a time when the water to other parts may be hot but not at a particular place. This may not signal a bigger problem. The trick to solve this plumbing problem at your home is to just make sure that the handle for adjusting between cold and warm water is correctly set. In most case, they can become weak hence making no different between the warm and cold position just but to mention.
Clogged Sink and Faucet
The main cause of these two problems is basically when the user accidentally let physical matters like food leftovers to pass through the sink. You can allow some debris today but it won't take long before it clogs the entire plumbing system. If you find water flooding your kitchen or bath because of this problem, all you will need is a plunger to unblock the problem. By unblocking the main system from the sink or faucet with this stuff, it should be OK.
Leaking Taps
This is another common plumbing problem which does occur when the system has not be repaired or maintained for quite a long time. For example, if your house has not been renovated for many years, this problem is bound to occur. Here, you will need maybe a pipe wrench or any related tool and equipment as long as it can drive the available nuts and screws. Old plumbing units may just require the help of a pipe wrench while modern ones may need advanced one. Always make sure you have such common tools for plumbing systems at your home garage. The other scenario is where you will have to replace the sealants.
Leaking Shower Head
The other boring situation in your home is when you visit the bath only to be welcome with drips from the shower head. You can imagine about how much loss you can incur through this leak and the water was hot continuously. Depending on which type of shower head, simple nut drivers like a pipe wrench can correct the fault.
External Clogging and Leaks
It is not a must for a leak to occur inside the house where the visible plumbing system is found. Sometime you can walk around your home only to discover that there is water emanating from the ground. It is advisable to call a professional plumber only if you can't access the pipes or raw sewer is all over unless you are sure of solving the problem. If the pipes run visibly, you can go ahead and seal the leak by tightening the nuts or replacing broken pipes. If there are shallow manholes in your compound which you are not afraid of working on them, go ahead and solve clogged drains.
There are a lot of good plumbers in Singapore whom you can turn to when you endeavors offers no help. It is always a great idea to solve a plumbing problem in your home but when all is not well on your side, you can call a professional plumber. Many homeowners do depend on these professionals because their help is worth and that's why they are also available during emergencies. If it happens that you woke up one day only to find that your house is flooded with sewer which you can't handle, get in touch with Singaporean plumbers so as to get a peace of mind.
Plumbers are not expensive professionals and that is why you may call unto them if your DIY approach is of no help or your schedule does not allow you. This is a place where people are busy with their day to day chores thus sparing less time for other tasks and that is why plumbers in such situations come in handy.
It's also good to state that when you are able to solve a plumbing problem by your own you will feel like a king because of your prowess. Just try when there is need and when you are out of control, let professional plumbers intervene for your sake. Don't be stressed up because of a temporary problem which has a solution and indeed it may be a call away.

Remember when Sonny Gray seemed to have one foot in an Oakland A's uniform and one foot on the trading block? Those were interesting times.
Now they may be ready for a comeback.
No two Major League Baseball offseasons are exactly alike, but a prevailing theme through all of them is the widespread need for starting pitching. In a related story, another prevailing theme are the showers of cash that fall on the best free-agent aces.
The 2016-17 offseason, however, presents a conundrum: There are no aces on the open market.
Rich Hill is good, but also older and not very durable. After him, the best free-agent pitcher is Jeremy Hellickson. After him…Ivan Nova? Jason Hammel? Bartolo Colon? I mean, you can take your pick.
And so, teams in the market for an ace must turn to the trade market. The trade winds are blowing around names like Chris Sale, Justin Verlander, Zack Greinke and Chris Archer. All good pitchers! Certainly better than any on the open market, anyway.
But therein lies another conundrum. The teams that employ those pitchers know they have key pieces of supply in a world flooded with demand. They can jack up the sticker prices, which could force suitors toward more affordable options.
Which brings us to Gray.
There's a good reason Gray's name doesn't loom as large on the trade market. He put up a 3.08 ERA in 219 innings in 2014 and then finished third in the American League Cy Young voting after posting a 2.73 ERA in 208 innings in 2015. But in 2016, he pitched just 117 innings in 22 starts and watched his ERA balloon to an ugly 5.69.
Nonetheless, Jerry Crasnick of ESPN.com has it on good authority that the A's are ready to field some calls on their 27-year-old right-hander.
"Sonny has been a popular trade conversation for the last couple of years, so it won't be new," A's general manager David Forst said at the GM meetings in Scottsdale. "Certainly it's expected, and we have to be open to anything at this point considering where we are and how much work we have to do to catch up with the teams at the top of our division. I can't speak to how aggressive teams will be or when the calls will come in, but we have to be open to that conversation."
When pressed, he added: "It's nice to have assets people want."
Given the nature of the A's finances, it's relevant that Gray will stop being cheap in 2017. Tim Dierkes of MLB Trade Rumors projects his salary will go from $528,000 to $3.7 million in his first year of arbitration eligibility.
Gray's arbitration eligibility also means his free agency is now there on the horizon, just three years away. Coming off a 93-loss season in 2016, the A's are facing a rebuilding stretch that may not be over by then. Trading him for pieces that could boost said rebuild could be their best play.
The deflation of Gray's value in 2016 should be a deal-breaker, but the lack of options on the open market and the gigantic price tags of alternative trade options are just the things to cancel that out. Rather than a broken pitcher to stay away from, teams may be compelled to look at Gray as a once-great pitcher who could be remade.
Gray is still in his prime years, and one positive sign from his rotten 2016 is that he wasn't plagued by bad stuff. He lost only 0.2 miles per hour off his fastball from 2015, sitting at 92.7 mph. And according to Baseball Savant, he experienced a significant increase in spin rate.
Gray's real problem? Command.
He went from 2.6 walks per nine innings in 2015 to 3.2 walks per nine innings in 2016. One thing Jeff Sullivan of FanGraphs noticed early on is that Gray wasn't able to command his breaking stuff. He was throwing too many non-competitive curveballs and sliders way down below the strike zone. That would lead to walks.
That also made it easier for hitters to sit fastball. Gray could find the zone with those, but too often found the wrong parts of it. Per Brooks Baseball, he threw more four-seamers and sinkers right down the middle:
Hitters responded accordingly. They hit .310 against Gray's four-seamer and .380 against his sinker. This after hitting .262 and .270 against them the prior season.
The elephants in the room are the injuries Gray suffered. He went on the disabled list with a bad shoulder in May and with a bad forearm in August.
The shoulder injury is especially alarming when paired with what was going on with Gray's release point earlier in the year. It was down from where it had been throughout 2015. That won't go unnoticed or unworried about by potential suitors.
But the silver lining also isn't hard to spot. Albeit in limited exposure, Gray's release point did move back up toward the end of the year. That's a sign he's not necessarily damaged goods, and that his struggles in 2016 may have been due to a mere mechanical funk.
Such things can be fixed. And in this case, fixing such a thing could turn Gray back into what he was in 2014 and 2015: one of the best pitchers in baseball.
What it would cost to take this chance won't be cheap. The A's can demand one or two elite prospects or perhaps some established major league talent with controllability and untapped upside.
However, that doesn't sound so bad compared to what it would take to land one of the other guys.
Sale ($38 million through 2019) and Archer ($39 million through 2021) have value even beyond what's left on their contracts. That would have to be matched by a bucket of top prospects in a trade.
Verlander and Greinke don't have that kind of excess value on top of their remaining contracts. But if a team deals for either one, it would have to take on all or most of the $84 million (or $106 million if his 2020 option vests) owed to Verlander or the $172.5 million owed to Greinke.
Since going home without an ace isn't an option, the choice before teams is to either pay a huge price for a sure thing or a lesser price for a lottery ticket. Gray's the latter, and he could be a winner.

The poet T.S. T.S. Eliot, the famed poet, once likened cats to creatures that a household depends on, the there is some truth behind his words. A well behaved and healthy cat can enhance any household. Sadly, cats can be difficult to live with sometimes. These tips can help you and your cat exist better together.
Move any drape cords out of a cat's reach. The cats will start playing with the cords and they can easily wrap around their necks. This could cause injury or death. All drape cords should be fastened and kept away from any harm that might come to the cats.
Properly groom your cat. You can regularly brush or comb your cat. This will help them maintain a clean and healthy coat. It will reduce shedding, which means that they won't be experiencing a ton of hairballs. Brushing your cat will keep your home cleaner, too.
Have your cat see a vet frequently to keep good health. They should have regular check ups annually, and more appointments should be made if they need to get important shots. Never hesitate to have your cat checked out if you think that something is wrong; remember that your cat can not tell you they are not feeling well.
Electrical Cords
Spritz a little bitter apple on electrical cords to protect your cats. If your cat still insists on chewing your cords, try to cover as many of them as possible. An inexpensive way to hide electrical cords is to thread them through used paper towel rolls. Personal electronic devices should be stored when not needed to keep their cords out of reach.
Think about getting a microchip implanted in your cat. Even cats who live completely indoors may someday decide to bolt out the door or escape out of a window. Collars or tags can identify your cat, but cats can wiggle out of those, and they are also at risk of getting hung up on something. A microchip, on the other hand, is inserted near your cat's shoulder blades, takes only a second to do, and all of your current contact info can be read through the chip. Many vets and shelters have scanners that can read these chips and since they lie under their skin, they won't get lost.
Make sure your cat is not too bored. Your cat needs plenty of exercise. Many owners just don't have time. Bored cats can really be a problem. They can have health issues, OCD, and even depression. Give them lots of space for exercise and plenty of toys they can play with. An indoor cat needs a good scratching post.
Adore your cat! Cats give us a lot of love, and they deserve to be loved back. Like humans, a cat has to be around people in order to feel special. They also like feeling important and a big member of the family.
Consider all the options before you let your cat be an outdoors cat. Cats come to harm outside every day. Your cat may get fleas or have other problems. They can get in a fight or be hit by a car. If the cat must go outside, set aside a small part of the backyard or front lawn as a place where they can go.
It's very rewarding to own a cat, though it's not always easy. Whether a cat jumps all over the house or sleeps all day, these tips can better your bond with them. You'll better your relationship in no time.

Our 100 years of moving experience, customizable moving services and extensively trained employees are just some of the reasons Suddath has become the reliable name for moving services in the Tampa-St. Petersburg area over the decades we have been in the community. We have developed a trust with customers that allows us to anticipate their needs, and build customizable moving services such as:
The convenience of these services, alongside the assistance of a single point of contact for your move, has allowed us to continue to provide the best possible moving experience Tampa has to offer.
In our 100 years of business, Suddath has had a lot of requests for moving unusual items – we have moved military bases, Egyptian relics and even a dolphin. We did all of it successfully (and humanely) by relying on our company values of teamwork, commitment and innovation.
When you're moving long distance, ours is the team you want on your side. We don't create problems, we solve them. We've been trusted to move millions of precious items over the past century, as we're still in business because we have lived up to that trust.
Some of the typical long-distance moving requests we receive (since it's unlikely you'll be moving with a dolphin) range from antiques and pianos, to cars, boats and fine art. With Suddath, you can rest assured that your valuable heirlooms and belongings will be handled safely and securely by trained and properly-equipped professionals.
The only things we can't move are non-allowables, items like chemicals, poisons and perishable food, placed on a list for safety and health reasons.
Work with your move coordinator during the walkthrough process for any unique items you need moved. They will handle the request with our team to put together the details, ensuring the crew is properly equipped on move day.
Some of the main concerns when moving long distance are:
Our answer to these worries is our trained and fully background-checked crew that will be moving your belongings, so you can feel confident that it is being handled carefully. Also, the support staff who will be scheduling and digitally keeping track of your items in our system.
Hiring Suddath means you have confidence that your move is being handled by knowledgeable professionals, and you can fully focus on the transition into your new home. Your goods will be handled with care, and delivered back to you in a timely manner, for the agreed upon price.
How do we do it? Since no individual long-distance moving company has enough locations to cover the entire United States, companies like Suddath partner together to complete long-distance moves.
Suddath is part of United Van Lines – America's #1 van line and agent network, featuring the industry's top-rated drivers and operators and modern truck fleet. Because of that long-standing partnership, we can get you anywhere you need to go in North America. No place is too far or too remote, and we use efficient planning and logistics to ensure you get your items in the time frame you need them.
With access to the United network, we can ensure that anyone we partner with is highly vetted, following the same safety standards we do – for example, fully background-checked crews, drug-tested drivers – and exemplary training. Unaffiliated moving companies take risks with your belongings, by potentially handing them off to unknown, fly-by-night movers.
Remember: throughout your move, you will be supported by a Suddath move coordinator, who is your direct contact for any details regarding your move. They will provide you with updates and the peace-of-mind of knowing that someone is watching over your goods.
You have two options for an in-home survey, and you may choose whichever one is most convenient for you. Our representative will perform either:
The virtual walkthrough can be done easily from your phone or tablet. This is an accommodating option for many people, as it can be done early in the morning, or later in the day after you are home from work.
Through your device, a Suddath representative will guide you through your home, asking questions along the way that are pertinent to both the quote you'll be given, and give crews time-saving prior knowledge on moving day. It is similar to the FaceTime application, or Skype.
Both survey options allow us to introduce ourselves to you and your home, making sure that we are fully assessing the property so there are no issues on moving day. You will be walked through the logistics of your move, and the representative will make sure that everything will be set up to go smoothly when the crews arrive.
No matter what option you choose, Suddath will be able to provide you with moving logistics, answer any questions you may have, and provide you with a thorough and binding moving quote.
Yes. You should work with your move coordinator to decide on a definite date for your move. Keep in mind as you are deciding that availability is a factor in how cost is determined. Picking one single date you want to move on may end up costing you more, depending on how in-demand that date is. For example, a Saturday at the end of the month during peak season (May – August) might cost more than a Wednesday in the middle of the month.
Your move coordinator will have insight into what days will fit best into your budget and timeline. While you absolutely can choose whatever day you like to move, we advise flexibility when it comes to load dates that might be more budget-friendly.
No matter what, your move coordinator will work with you to find a day that works for both your family and your budget.
There is only one way to know for sure: do your research. Start with independent organizations like the Better Business Bureau, reviews through Google, and make sure the company you're considering is established with these organizations and have solid reviews.
When inspecting customer reviews, look for any troubling trends in what people are saying – for example, people having trouble in the claims process, or the company hiring inexperienced crew members.
You should also look up your moving company's DOT number on the FMSCA (Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration) official website. The government requires all commercial carrier vehicles to have a Department of Transportation (DOT) number, and any reputable long-distance mover should have it readily available. They should also have information about their insurance, industry associations and accreditations available, and easily give it to you. Anyone being cagey or refusing to give you this information is likely not a reputable mover. Any reputable moving company will be promoting these items on their website, and if not, will happy to provide this information to you.
The most important phase in the process is getting a quote. Moving companies are required to do a home walkthrough with you in order to give you an accurate quote prior to moving day. If the representative you're speaking to is willing to give you a quote without seeing your home (either through your smartphone or in-person) or will not commit to a specific number after a home walkthrough, you may want to find a different company.
The first thing that will be done is taking a detailed inventory of your items. Then, your household goods that is being packed and taken by Suddath will be appropriately logged. A driver or crew member will go through and check your good, and potentially take a picture or note to catalog existing damage to individual items like a sofa or chair.
After the inventory is taken, the crew will protect your home with floor covers, door protectors, and furniture padding. They will be labeling boxes with your name and identification, and the room it will be going into in the new home.
The crew will then expertly load your goods into the truck, as tightly as possible to avoid any shifting during travel.
Contact our professional interstate moving team in Tampa if you have more questions, or if you're ready to get a moving quote, we'd love to speak with you.
