Playoff Baseball

October is here and that means Playoff Baseball is in full swing. Another year and Another Yankee’s Playoff berth. This year their opponent was the Detroit Tigers. Derick Jeter and CC Sabathia played at their best, but they fell to the Tigers. We have come to expect excellence out of the Yankees, but they fell short this year. New Jersey and New York Logistics would like to congratulate the Yankees for a successful season.

Millions Spent on Buyout

Philadelphia is at the heart of a $200 million transaction. Timken Co. bought out Philadelphia Gear. Philadelphia gear develops vital components for industrial and military sectors, and Timken Co., which is based in Canton, OH, makes bearings, assemblies and alloy steel for auto manufacturers.

Because of the two companies close niches it was no wonder why the transaction took place. The buyout is expected to add an additional 220 jobs to Timken Co and boost earnings within the first year! The transaction is scheduled to be completed by the end of September. Big money is being spent in the Philadelphia area, but being a Philadelphia moving company , we already knew the great business opportunities that lie in Philly.

New fertilizer laws in effect for New Jersey homeowners

Every year, new laws are introduced which New Jersey homeowners should take notice of, or end up paying the consequences. 2011 is no different, and this time around, the way you take care of your lawn could get you in trouble. Homeowners in New Jersey should be aware of the new fertilizer laws that are in effect for this spring season. Some of the new rules to go into effect this year include:

• Season for homeowners to fertilize their own lawn is March 1 to November 15.
• Lawn care professionals have a season of March 1 to December 1.
• Fertilizer cannot be applied within 10 feet of a water body or left scattered on pavement.
• Lawn fertilizers must contain at least 20 percent of their nutrients as slow-release nitrogen.
• Phosphorous will only be allowed in cases where a soil test reveals a specific deficiency in that nutrient.
• Fines for violations can be up to $500 for a first offense or $1,000 for a second offense. For egregious violators, the state Department of Environmental Protection can seek an additional civil penalty of $1,000.

Move from Philadelphia Scheduled for GlaxoSmithKline

Who thought moving from Philadelphia could be such a savvy business move? Pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline is moving its Philadelphia operations to a new facility in South Philadelphia. The company just signed a nearly 16-year lease for the new site and plans on saving $26 million annually by making the move to an old U.S. Navy shipyard. This major relocation will be to a new facility that boasts 205,000 square feet and will also relocate around 1,300 jobs to the new site.

The company looks forward to the move to the new facility, saying the open-space layout will help employees to collaborate better. That and the boost to their bottom line make this relocation seem like the best option for GlaxoSmithKline.

Philadelphians Try to Save the Tastykakes; Company’s Move Bolsters Troubles

From the Facebook group trying to “Save the Tastykakes” to Causes.com’s “Save Tastykake” page, many Philadelphians are in an uproar over the Philadelphia snack cake icon struggling to survive into today’s times…and economy.

Tastykake is a household name in the Northeast, though if you travel a few states over, most will have no idea what you’re talking about. For those who do know, Tastykake produces the delicious little delights including Krimpets, Juniors and Kandy Kakes and 200+ more confections. However, the 97-year-old company has been struggling of late, every since moving within Philadelphia – specifically from Hunting Park to the Navy Yard. With the move came increased operations costs amid a serious economic downturn. The company currently has $100 million in debt; do you think that the Tastykakes can be saved?

Temple Students on the Move from On-Campus Community

Many students of Temple University might be looking for Philadelphia movers soon, as rent rates have raised and students are feeling slighted. Though Temple used to be primarily a commuter school, real estate development companies have been building, buying and restoring off-campus housing catering to students. However, the profits these companies are seeing from what it costs to purchase this housing compared to what they’re charging budget-conscious students and the impact the growth has had on the community is what has some people up in arms.

Non-students, or families that live in these off-campus communities, are less than pleased with all the new development, as it has caused their cost of living to rise as well. These contractors and realtors are coming under fire for the higher rents for students as well as the hike in cost of living for locals.

Is there a solution to this problem for Temple students and local residents living in these communities? Or is the only real solution to pick up and move from Philadelphia’s Temple University off-campus housing?

The Nutcracker Is An Annual Philadelphia Holiday Treat

Recent Philly transplants may be unaware of one our city's best holiday traditions: yearly performances of George Balanchine's The Nutcracker™ . The Balanchine-choreographed version of Pyotr Tchaikovsky's ballet is one of the most popular ballets in America, and is now in its 42nd year of production by Philadelphia's Pennsylvania Ballet.

There's really nothing on earth that can match the physical feat of ballet. The grace and fluidity of Balanchine's choreography highlight the beauty of the human form, and Tchaikovsky's lively score is a treat for music lovers. Also, George Balanchine's The Nutcracker™ has a fantastical, delightful story that kids can follow and enjoy - it's a wonderful show for the whole family.

George Balanchine's The Nutcracker™ runs from December 4th to December 31st, so purchase your tickets today. It's a great Philadelphia tradition - and, if you're new here, there's no better introduction to the magic of the holiday season in our city.

Watch Out: Moving Art at the Philadelphia Art Museum

If you live near the Philly area or are planning to move to Philadelphia within the next decade, take note of the 10-year sweeping construction plan underway at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Starting November 9, 2010, the museum will begin a three-phase construction process to expand a large, underground area measuring more than 80,000 square feet. The underground expansion was designed by the famous architect, Frank Gehry, and requires an excavation to remove bedrock beneath the museum’s foundation and front steps.

Any professional fine art moving company, like us here at S&D Transfer, realizes the undertaking that is involved with moving invaluable art and sculptures. We look forward to seeing the innovative underground expansion of the famous museum over the upcoming years. What do you think of the museum construction? Do you think it will impact the integrity or the look of the landmark museum?

Pack Your Bags, the Kardashians are Moving to NYC

If you’re a fan of Kim, Khloe and Kourtney, call your New York moving company, because the girls are moving to the Big Apple. If you follow the show on E! Network “Keeping up with the Kardashians,” or you just happen to log onto a computer once a day, you probably know that two of the three sisters are moving to New York City. The Kardashians have moved all over the U.S., from Calabasas to Miami and now conquering the East Coast.

The question now is, how many of their rabid fans will follow? And if so, how many will even be able to relocate to an area in NYC that’s even remotely close to the DASH girls? Because according to how much these girls are making off their careers, the cost of the real estate will likely be astronomical. Instead of moving to NYC, it might be best to watch their travels from the comfort of your couch.

Mickey Mouse and Mad Scientists? Disney is Moving!

Disney is moving a laboratory into the Collaborative Innovation Center at Carnegie Mellon University to have a bigger presence at the university for their research and development in computer animation, robotics, computational cinematography and more. Laboratory moving is no easy feat, especially for a company as large as Disney occupying a commercial space once inhabited by Google’s offices. Disney will be joining major technological companies in the CIC including Intel, Apple, Microsoft and others. The company will fund a director and seven or eight researchers for a five-year commitment to the university’s research lab.

So if you happen to witness Goofy, Donald or Minnie carrying some moving boxes into Carnegie Mellon, now you’ll know why. Though, it’s more likely a professional moving company will be entrusted to the experts, not our favorite Disney characters.

Move your Company, Depress the Economy?

Companies move every day. Some businesses choose to relocate because of expansion, others because of better business opportunities in a specific market. However, many people living and working in California are now starting to blame these relocating companies for compromising the job market in the state. If you own a business and are calling up a moving company to come and relocate your office and staff, are you also calling attention to a growing problem in California?
Well, don’t be so quick to blame the higher rate of jobless folks in California on the companies moving out of the state. The fact is that while it may seem like companies leaving the state contribute to the decline in available jobs, in reality, companies moving out of state only account for about 1.7% of job losses every year. This is according to a report by economist Jed Kelko, author of Business Location Decisions and Employment Dynamics in California for the Public Policy Institute of California.
The majority of jobs lost annually is caused by companies going under or laying off employees, making up for 99% of the job losses in California. Looks like the job market is still depressed from companies not being able to stay afloat in the struggling economy, and not so much from California businesses moving to another state. So, if you’re hiring a mover this weekend to relocate your business, don’t worry. The withering employment rate isn’t to blame on you.
