How to Choose a Residential Moving Company

 

Moving must be one of the most physically, emotionally and financially taxing experiences there is, and if you are not careful the ordeal can become more stressful than it has to be. Hiring the right New York residential company can definitely ease the burden considerably so here are some tips on how to find one:

• Before surfing the Internet for New York residential moving companies, try leafing through a good old fashioned phonebook first. While there are many reputable companies online, it is unfortunate that there are many scams as well – RESIDENTIAL MOVES.

• Call your local real estate agents and find at least three moving companies with offices in your area. Choose New York residential moving companies that have been in business for at least ten years.

• Have representatives from these companies inspect your home for an estimate. Have your least favorite company come on over first and then work your way up to the company you’re most likely to hire. In any case, never waste your time with companies that do not do in-home estimates.

• Go for a New York residential company that provides the moving services themselves and does not sub-contract the job out.

• Visit your prospects’ offices and check out their trucks and storage facilities. Make sure their trucks are permanently marked with the company’s name. If not, they are most likely a fly-by-night affair.

• As each New York residential moving company quotes you their in-home estimate, place the paperwork somewhere the next company can see it. Upon noticing the paperwork, the company might try to top the previous company’s offer.

• Ask why one moving company’s estimate differs from another. Find out if it’s because one offers considerably better or more services than the other.

• Never hire a New York residential moving company that quotes a rate based on cubic feet.

• Never sign any paperwork without reading and understanding it. Do not be afraid of having the moving company wait for you to decide.

• All moving companies are required by law to provide you a copy of “Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move”. If a moving company does not do so, tell them to take a hike.

The Truth About Tobacco and Marijuana

WHAT ARE THEY? Substances Are non food, mood-altering substances that are not deemed medically necessary but that are used in an effort to escape from the problems of life, to get a dreamy feeling, or a sense of well-being or of elation. Tobacco-An addictive substance containing toxic substances with eventual harmful effects when ingested into the body. Tobacco contains thirty different substances such as nicotine, arsenic, alcohol and ammonia. Nicotine is one of the oldest, the most widely used, and, in the same amounts, stronger and more addictive than cocaine. The euphoric effect of nicotine is the same as morphine and cocaine.

The tobacco used in pipes and cigars contains more nicotine, more cancerous tars, and produces more dangerous carbon monoxide gas than that used in cigarettes. Marijuana (Also known as pot, reefer, grass, ganja, or weed) has been the focus of much co...

 The time needed to create a proposal depends on how complex the proposal is, how many people need to participate, and how organized everyone is. Things to consider for the schedule are: Research time First draft writing time First draft review time Second draft and incorporating comments Final review Changes from final review Final proofread of all pages Production of PDF and/or printed proposal If the writer starts with the needed information in hand, the research time will be negligible. If the writer must collect all the data from multiple individuals, the research process will obviously take a while. If you have handed the writer an outline for your proposal, that will make writing the first draft more efficient than if the writer needs to "wing it." Here again, a pre-designed proposal kit can help with ideas and examples about the best organization for successful proposals. Every proposal needs at least one review and one final proofread. For a very simple p...

Marijuana Use May Increase Risk of Testicular Cancer

Smoking marijuana may increase men's risk of testicular cancer, a new study from the University of Southern California (USC) finds. This new study discovered that men who smoked weed or marijuana were twice as likely as men who had not to get a dangerous form of the disease. If you don't know, testicular cancer is the most common form of cancer diagnosed in men under the age of 45. It's also on the rise, says Scott Eggener, MD, a cancer surgeon at the University of Chicago who has studied the trend. There was a study released earlier this year that showed marijuana use is up, with 1 in 10 teens now smoking marijuana at least 20 times a month. The USC study compared a group of 163 men with testicular cancer to a similar group of 292 healthy men who were questioned about recreational drug use. The researchers of California discovered those men who used marijuana had a two-fold increased risk of testicular tumors and, more specifically, tend to affect younger men and are diffi...
