Right side vs. Left side

This is a test to see which side of the brain you use more. We all use both sides, but there is a significant amount of difference between the two. Use this image as the test. Which direction do you see the dancer moving, is she spinning clockwise, or counter-clockwise? Please leave a comment on what you see.

If you see her spinning clockwise, then you use your right side more, if not… then you use the left side more. One important thing though, is are you able to see her spin in either direction. If you’re not used to doing this, it can be difficult. One trick would be to hold two sheets of paper up so that you only see her foot, and only her foot. Make sure you leave out the shadow too. Then try to picture you drawing a circle in the opposite direction her foot is spinning. Eventually you should be able to see her foot reverse directions.. then slowly increase what you can see of her. After you’ve done this a few times, try to do it without blocking any of the image. It is a GREAT mental workout!

A helpful moving company, Reliance Relocation

If you have ever had to move farther than just a few blocks, you can understand how much planning and timing goes into it. There are almost a thousand things you have to consider. Things like, what size of truck to you need, how many days will it take to move everything, will I be packing it or do I want the movers to do it, what happens if things get lost or broken? One of the big questions is always ‘How much will it cost me?’

Awhile back I had done some research on moving companies, and never really found a good website for them. True, they get the job done. Thats not the big issue. I needed to know what to do before my move, and what comes after it. So in my quest for a company one of the many that I found, Reliance Relocation had some great tips that I’m sure could help you on your next move. Now I always check with the Better Business Bureau, and what surprised me was they have the thumbs up for Reliance Relocation. Not something you can always expect from a moving company.

When I was working to get my household goods from one state to another, I had gone through two different moving companies, and finally was forced to do it myself. The first company never showed up on the day they were supposed to, and when I called them nobody answered. So I finally called the company that contracted them for the move and they told me “We’re sorry they didn’t show up. It is better that they didn’t because they are under federal investigation by the FBI for fraud and theft.” So that’s never a good thing, so the contracting company gave us another carrier. They also never showed up, and when I called back to find out what was going on they told me “We’re sorry, this second company just filed for bankruptcy.” Now at this point I could not wait the 2 more days it would take for another company to not show up, so I did the move myself. I wish I had checked with the BBB beforehand. Lessons learned.

Anyways, I think it would be safe to say that Reliance Relocation would be a good bet if you’re in the New Jersey area. Even if you don’t use them for your move, you should be able to take away from the website a handful of good advice and tips to make your move as smooth as possible.
