With termination overturned, Hulsizer gets to sell more cars
MARK NANCE/Sun-Gazette
Dealership owner Bill Schneck of Hulsizer Chevrolet inspects some of the new and used vehicles on his lot in Montgomery after GM reinstated his dealership.
March 11, 2010
Hulsizer Chevrolet in Montgomery has been a family business and a community mainstay since 1910. Four generations later, it is one of the oldest businesses in the area, according to Bill Schneck, owner of the business.
Taking its long standing history, it was a surprise to Schneck, when he received a letter from General Motors stating that GM would not be renewing his franchising agreement in October, especially since the dealership has provided quality service for the franchise and has excellent customer satisfaction, according to Schneck.

Mistake of the Union
Thu, January 28, 2010 @ 3:14PM
I watched President Obama's "State of the Union" address Wednesday night.Here's what I was able to "hear between the lines" of his scripted speech. Obama is an eloquent speaker, but if you are looking for substance in what he said, better keep looking, as you are going to be disappointed. I thought it was mostly rhetoric. His speech was heavy with blaming and finger pointing, mostly at the Republican minority for Congress's inability to "get anything done." Why that was necessary I don't know, as he has the biggest majority of his own party in history seated in Congress (his words) and doesn't even need the Republicans to "get anything done." If you ask them, the Republican minority have been forthcoming with plenty of alternatives to the expensive health care reform bill he was obviously referring to, though he didn't even mention it till 40 minutes into his speec.

Indulgence Before Denial
Wed, January 27, 2010 @ 11:32AM
Indulgence before Denial… Modern activities differ from town to town and state to state, but all of those who participate in this annual season of excess enjoy the mid winter passion of Mardi Gras! The earliest celebrations were in Mobile, Alabama; Biloxi, Mississippi & New Orleans, Louisiana which at one time or another in that order were the capital of Louisiana – simply because those three states made up the territory of Louisiane, under French jurisdiction. While the celebrations vary from state to state, the history and many traditions are shared by not just these three cities, but by any community wanting to herald in the season of Lent. In Mobile, the carnival and Mardi Gras celebrations are dominated by mystic societies which are private social organizations (they are similar to the krewes in New Orleans). The Order of Myths was founded in 1867 and is the oldest mystic society in Mobile.

Well now... Guess Who's On A Diet?...
Mon, January 18, 2010 @ 8:57AM
(Mazey says she hopes Jenny Craig doesn't resemble a Milkbone or she may have to plead the 5th...) I took Mazey to the vet this weekend for a senior check-up. The vet ended up putting ALL of us on a diet … I know Mazey (and I) have several extra pounds to lose. I also know that if I can get that extra weight off of her it will do her health a world of good. It will help ease the stress on her old arthritic joints making it easier for her to get up and down and simply walk around. It will also help avoid diseases such as diabetes and heart disease which is very common in overweight dogs (just like humans). Because Mazey is a rescue girl, I don’t have a lot of history on her, including her true age. We guess her to be somewhere around 12+.

Hidden tax increase under Obama
Fri, January 29, 2010 @ 3:14PM
Did your take-home pay go down in January? At first I thought it had to do with changing healthcare rates and employee contributions, but a colleague recently pointed out that the federal government is taking more taxes from our paychecks this year than last. The federal government provides employers with its Tables for Percentage Method of Withholding, and for the 2010 tax year, those tables include a hidden tax increase. In 2009, a married worker who was paid biweekly was not taxed on the first $606 he made, but after that, an employer takes out an increasingly higher percentage in taxes: 10 percent on the next $606 to $940; 15 percent for $940 to $2,910, etc. But look at the numbers for 2010: No taxes on the first $529, but 10 percent on the next $529 to $942; 15 percent on $942 to $2,913, etc. Let's look at the base amounts for taxation of Single People: No taxes on the first $276; 10 percent on $276 to $400; 15 percent on $400 to $1,392, etc.

Lots of questions about change in mortgage direction
Tue, March 9, 2010 @ 6:35PM
With initial efforts not living up to expectations, the Obama administration, the New York Times reports, is changing courses on mounting foreclosure rates. A new policy would subsidize the sale of homes at risk at a loss for the homeowner and mortgage-holder. The plan sweetens the deal for the financial institutions and homeowners by offering $1,000 to $2,000 to the "servicing bank" and up to $1,500 in "relocation assistance" to the homeowner. David Streitfeld gives no indication in his report for the Times how the assistance would be funded. He does speak with Thomas Lawler, an economist who says the "short sale" process used under the policy carries greater risks for fraud, though Phoenix real estate agent Chris Paul implies fraud is rooted in the subjectivity of property-value assessments.

Happy New Year!
Thu, December 31, 2009 @ 9:33AM
Happy New Year! Let's hope it's a good one. A Capital One Bowl victory by Penn State over LSU on New Years Day would be a great start for Pennsylvania college football fans. My prediction; PSU 28 - LSU 17. Also keeping the faith for the Pittsburgh Steelers to win out vs Miami and to receive late holiday gifts from Cincinnati and New England. If the Steelers can just get into the playoffs, I expect them to win at least two game.

Cookin' with Wood by Bob Woodley
Mon, March 1, 2010 @ 6:39PM
Dijon Herb Pork Tenderloin Where I got the recipe: My fiance Tracey had it in a box Tools you'll need: Large baking dish, small saucepan, whisk, measuring cup, measuring spoon, cooking spray, small bowl, fork. Ingredients: 2 lbs. pork tenderloin 1/2 tsp salt 4 tsp dijon mustard 2 Tbsp honey 2 tsp dried sage 1/4 cup apple juice or white wine 2 Tbsp butter, melted 1 Tbsp butter, softened 1 Tbsp all-purpose flour When I made it: Sunday Tracey showed me this recipe a week or so ago, and we agreed to make it the next time we both had the same day off from work. Well, that didn't quite work out, so I made it Sunday, backtiming in an effort to have it finished when she got home from work. Since the tenderloin wasn't sliced, I got that done first. I cut one inch slices. Coat the baking dish with the cooking spray, and put the tenderloin slices in it so that they don't overlap. Sprinkle the cuts with salt. Pre-heat the oven to 375 degrees .
