The Duxbury Select Board has warned a special town meeting for August 15, 2012, at 7 p.m. at the Crossett Brook Middle School. The warning differs a little from the articles discussed at the select board meeting on July 9, 2012, and was approved by the select board at a special meeting held July 13, 2012.
Article 1 asks the voters to approve the town's share of a grant we received from the AOT to repair the Pollander Brook culvert that goes under Crossett Hill Road. The Structures Grant from the state is an 80 percent state-20 percent town allocation and the cost to the town would be approximately $26,000.
Article 2 asks the voters to approve the disbursement of $60,000 for repair of River Road; erosion of the ban is being caused by the Winooski River.
Article 3 asks the voters for funds to replace the town's pickup truck, the amount not to exceed $75,000. We are proposing purchase of either another three-quarter-ton pickup or a possible alternative of a one-and-a-half-ton truck.
Article 4 asks the voters to borrow funds not to exceed $250,000 over five years to stabilize the tax rate.
Article 1 is very straightforward. The culvert washed out in the two storms we had in 2011. Unfortunately, the damage was not severe or extensive enough that it prevented us from receiving FEMA mitigation funding that we were applying for. The engineering estimate for the project was initially $165,000. The bid and contingency figure we now have is approximately $130,000.
We had applied for a road grant from the AOT to repair River Road at the same time as the Pollander grant application. Unfortunately it was not approved. The area needing repair is on the bend on River Road where a waterfall is located. We received a permit from the state to do the work last year and have sought funding to cover the expense with no success. It is a repair we need to move on.
Article 3 addresses the 2004 pickup truck which has accumulated 140,000 miles and has serious structural issues such that we have taken the unit off of the road for safety reasons and are seeking replacement rather than expend more funds.
Under Article 4, the select board is proposing stabilizing the tax rate closer to the rate we had last year. The budget approved at Town Meeting in March set a $0.16 increase as a result of the two storms we dealt with last year. We have chosen to set the target a little high and believe that the amount to be financed will be significantly lower. Given the cost of borrowing at present with interest rates in the area of 1 percent we believe the cost to the town would very minimal.
A plan has been put forward by the town treasurer. This is an option that the select board discussed with the town's auditor on several occasions. This proposal does not take into consideration several variables that have and will impact the town's operation and fiscal planning.
At Town Meeting in March the voters approved use of up to $50,000 from the Capital Reserve Fund for repairs to our highway equipment and purchase of new equipment. To date we have accrued around $35,000 in repairs with several other items to be dealt with. Fortunately, through the efforts of Mo Lavanway, we were able to receive a significant rebate toward the purchase of the new lights for the garage. Additionally, the Emergency Management Committee secured a grant which replaced (five) vehicle radios and provides us with (two) handheld units for use in emergency situations.
Approval of Articles 1 and 2 will reduce our Capital Reserve budget by close to $100,000. We also confront the replacement of our pickup truck, depending on the choice of vehicle, with a cost of $35,000 to $65,000. This leaves two other issues which we need to address.
At Town Meeting in March, the select board agreed to return to a schedule of vehicle replacement that would put us back on an eight- to nine-year cycle. Our oldest vehicle is a 2000 and has required substantial upkeep. We asked that 2012 be a rebuilding year allowing us to determine what impact the storm expenses would have on our finances. We are committed to the purchase of a new truck for our fleet next year.
Along with all of this, we are still awaiting a determination as to Act 250's review of our gravel pit. With no idea at present to the scope of bringing the pit back into compliance with our original permit, we are waiting to answer both the timeframe and cost of this project and its impact on the town. What we have committed and are proposing to commit to is approximately $200,000 in expenditures from the Capital Reserve budget. We do not believe holding off this year's contribution is a wise choice.
We believe our proposed plan minimizes the impact on the town tax rate during these difficult economic times, is fiscally prudent and flexible allowing for earlier repayment if possible and provides a sound operating foundation as we move forward. As we approach the meeting in August, we should have a much better idea of where we stand with regard to storm reimbursements.
I would like to personally thank Maureen Harvey for her tireless effort(s) in putting all of our storm records and expenses into focus. I believe I speak for the select board in stating that we are committed to maintaining the operation of the town in a fiscally responsible manner.
Richard L. Charland is the chair of the Duxbury Select Board.

Hawks Keep Streak Going With Cuomo's Shooting

HAMBURG, NY – The Hilbert College men's basketball team swept the series against Franciscan after the Hawks took a 63-44 win at home January 19. Hilbert improved to 14-4 overall and 8-3 in the Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference while Franciscan searches for their first win of the season.
Hilbert finished the game with balanced scoring, as four players reached for double figures. Senior Dan McFarland and freshman Jerame Owens earned double-doubles padding their career totals. McFarland had 11 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 steals. Owens added 10 points, 15 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks. Sophomore Rob Cuomo {in photo} playing focused basketball after starting his first game, went 5 of 6 from the floor (3 of 4 long distance) and scored 13 points. Anthony Hodge came off the bench and matched Cuomo's efforts but added five steals.
Franciscan's Joseph Rine impressed the Hafner Center with a 20-point, 14-rebound, and a 5-block performance.
After an early close contest, Cuomo's four point spurt, on top of his opening back to back 3-pointers, gave the Hawks a needed cushion heading into half time. Hilbert led 27-23 after shooting 37.9% from the floor. The Hawks pulled down six offensive rebounds and committed four fewer turnovers while getting credit for four steals at the break.
Hilbert lengthened their lead to seven points (32-25) after three minutes into the second half with a Owens layup and another Cuomo long distance hit. Franciscan tightened their defense and attacked on offense showing a real threat to take over the game. Joe Rine scored back to back jumpers which kept the Barons inches from taking their first lead in the second half with just over ten minutes left. McFarland got his second and then third steal of the contest which started an 8-0 Hilbert run. Once the Hawks established their double-digit lead again, things started to settle down for Hilbert, who went 8 of 9 at the foul line in the last 90 seconds.
Hilbert's depth continues to separate them from opponents as the season progresses. Ten different players have started for the Hawks. Hilbert's bench outscored Franciscan's 25-4.
Hilbert's next challenge is Wednesday, January 23 when they host cross-town rival Medaille College at 8pm. The Mavericks claimed an 80-70 victory in North Buffalo in mid-December. But, the HAWKS NEST should be in full force this week with all the students back on campus after the semester break.
Hilbert College, located in suburban Hamburg, N.Y., south of Buffalo, is a private four-year college founded in 1957 in the Catholic Franciscan tradition. With nearly 1,100 students, Hilbert is a dynamic Western New York college that offers career-focused majors, including one of the top criminal justice programs in the region, and more than 50 minors and concentrations. The college's engaging, student-centered campus community offers numerous leadership, internship, and service learning opportunities from which students launch successful careers while making positive changes in their communities.

Hilbert has expanded its academic offerings with the college's first graduate programs and new Accelerated Degree Programs geared to adult learners.

Where were you when I laid the foundations, I'm the one who stretches out the heavens.These types of things along with the vastness of the universe, the anthropomorphic principal of the universe (the fine tuning required for sustaining life on earth, in our solar system, galaxy, etc) the amazing design of the human body, and the tiny little bit we actually understand about it, DNA , the incredible depth of complexity to the Bible, etc etc, make me realize we know jack squat.Peter had a hard time understanding Pauls new revelation of the mystery. Quite possibly the disciples themselves misunderstood Johns Revelation thinking it meant the immediate (by AD 70) bodily return of Jesus.Creation was subject to futility, the mind is tainted.A very good apologetic for UR I think. How could we be expected to get it right (on our own) with all of the above in mind. I don't think it matters, because we can't get it right on our own anyway, we're all exactly where we're supposed to be. Not that we shouldn't strive for the truth, what better goal to have then to know Him face to face.as to the question at hand again I don't think it matters, by that we won't know either way, and outside of the spacetime continuum time is irrelevant. To us here it would pass as 10,000 years, but to the person who dies its like blinking, one blink you're here then you either go to heaven immediately, or you don't but you don't know because you've stepped outside of spacetime once you die and time is irrelevant, (or at least is no longer linear) to the people on earth time will pass, not for you. so when the resurrection happens everyone wakes up at the same? time, and each person feels like they have only just closed their eyes like blinking. Thats the way I see things
My personal belief is, there's probably some truths somewhere in the middle that we're missing/just unable to see. Maybe it's too big for us. Maybe we're not ready for it. Maybe we won't know for sure until "later". My question is, "how much is there that we just don't know"?
My question is, "how much is there that we just don't know"?
I have said, and I believe that the entire Bible is a parable. Does the Bible give us a literal history, yes, but it is secondary to what the Bible teaches.We know absolutely nothing about what the OT reveals unless the Spirit reveals what it has to offer.
As you say about angels as well, if only the word angels was translated properly as messengers, we would have very little of all the imaginations that have been brought forth by man.
So my point is that imo the Bible is a Book about Jews in this world
Good thoughts Molly.I believe it's also about 'us', i.e., the gentiles after the cross. It was the start of our being brought in.
Quote from: wwSo my point is that imo the Bible is a Book about Jews in this worldIt's about the generations of Adam. And, it's about Israel--twelve tribes. Judah is only one of those tribes. It's about all twelve. And, last but not least, it's about Jesus.
Quote from: jabcat on September 10, 2011, 08:16:14 PMGood thoughts Molly.I believe it's also about 'us', i.e., the gentiles after the cross. It was the start of our being brought in. OK. But, hint: the 'gentiles' after the cross are mostly the ten lost tribes of Israel. We are Israel.Romans 9 New American Standard Bible 26"AND IT SHALL BE THAT IN THE PLACE WHERE IT WAS SAID TO THEM, 'YOU ARE NOT MY PEOPLE,' THERE THEY SHALL BE CALLED SONS OF THE LIVING GOD."
Maybe you're getting at something else, maybe there are other/deeper currents that have to do with the tribes, I don't know. But IMO, the above has to be part of the equation. Maybe it all fits together somehow
"I was sent only to the lost sheep of the House of Israel"
I believe we're "accepted" as Israel, spiritually, due to our having been grafted in. So yes, in that regard, we can be called sons of God.

The Cal State Northridge men's and women's cross country teams will head to the UC Riverside Farm Course this Saturday for the 2011 edition of the Big West Championship.
The conference championship meet is slated for Saturday, Oct. 29 at the UC Riverside Ag/Ops Course for the fourth consecutive year, seventh time overall. The men's 8K begins at 8:45 a.m. and is followed by the women's 6K at 9:35 a.m. An awards ceremony will begin shortly following the conclusion of the womens race.
The Matadors will send full teams of nine men and nine women to the championships and both teams will look to improve upon last season's eighth-place finishes.
"I'm antcipating us going out and performing better this Saturday," said head coach Avery Anderson. "The athletes this season have the mentality to realize they can go into this championship meet and perform."
The Matador women have finished as high as seventh three times since 2001 while the men have never been higher than eighth.
Hunter Hays and Cesar Lopez come in as the men's top runners as both have finished as CSUN's top runners in meets this season. Also competing for the Matadors: Ezekial Glass, Daniel Gonzales, Marvin Gonzales, Steven Gonzales, Masis Hagobian, Tawei Ma and Julio Mora.
Fany Alvarado and Yvonne Castillo-Urbina have been the Matadors' most consistent runners on the women's side, although Ana Rosales was CSUN's top finisher at the most recent meet in Northridge on Oct. 15. Also competing for the Matador women: Vanessa Carr, Jasmine Cox, Shane Mullany-Banks, LeGia Pendergraph, Kendahl Waalk and Araceli Zainos.
The UC Davis men, headlined by Jon Peterson's top time of 23:40.2, won the 2010 title and looks to be a top contender once again this year. Peterson is back for his final season and is primed to lead the Aggies to a repeat championship after posting the second fastest time of the season in the conference for the 8K (23:22) on Sept. 24.
Also look for host UC Riverside to make a run for its first-ever Big West Men's Cross Country Championship. Aside from having a slight edge with the event taking place on their home course, the Highlanders recorded three of the top 10 performances in the Big West this year, including Chad Halls peak performance of 23:18.91 at the Bill Delinger Invitational. Hall owns the fastest time in the conference, while teammates Talal Khan and Seth Totten rank seventh and ninth. The Highlander men's program finished second in 2010 and has been in the top four the three years prior.
On the women's side, UC Santa Barbara took home the title with the help of Amanda Moreno, Breanne Strenkowski and Crystal Reed, who finished one-two-three in last year's event. Unfortunately the trio of superstars graduated, living the Gauchos a huge void to fill. UC Santa Barbara seems to have a successful recovery from the loss in the offseason as the Gauchos own five of the top 10 performances of the season. Headlining the defending champions is junior Andrea Jacobs with a time of 21:09.8 in the 6K, good enough for fifth in the league. Sarah Vitug, Ashley Beechan, Callie Mulgannon and Ari Selix follow close behind with only Cal Polys Meghan Breadmore interrupting the UC Santa Barbara domination in the lower half of the top ten with a seventh place time.
UC Riverside's Katy Daly holds the top time of the season in the women's 6K with a mark of 20:56.5 at the Riverside Invitational, which was run on the same course as the upcoming Big West Championship. The UCR women's team is looking to win its second conference title as the Highlanders claimed the 2008 championship but finished 5th in 2009 and 4th in 2010.
"This is a great cross country conference and our men and women are going in with the mentality of can I do better than in recent years, said Anderson. "Our goal is for everyone to PR and to also realize they're doing it for their team. Everyone has the capability of being competitive."

Sandy Borden is one of those people who believes if you live in a community, you should jump into the activities of that community with both feet. Borden, a Scioto County native and Notre Dame High School graduate, will receive the Jackson Area Chamber of Commerce's Meritorious Service Award at the chamber's Annual Appreciation Banquet on Nov. 7 in the Family Life Center of the Christ United Methodist Church in Jackson.
Borden, whose background is in health and wellness education, worked at the Portsmouth YMCA where she was physical fitness director. She was in on the ground floor of the SOMC Life Center. She was sent to Cooper Clinic in Dallas, Texas, to start physical education classes. She taught aerobics, and at Shawnee State University, she taught hyper-physical education classes.
Her next move was to the world's largest YMCA in Lebanon, Ohio in 1996. Instead of just teaching classes, she became their financial aid coordinator.
"I got to give away scholarships for people who could not afford memberships," Borden said.
In Jackson, where her husband, Scott, had been promoted to a Staff Lieutenant in the Ohio State Highway Patrol, before retirement, Borden's official professional title is Community Outreach Coordinator for the Four Winds Community Nursing Facility. But her involvement goes far beyond her job.
"The Meritorious Service Award is something we don't even give every year," Jackson Mayor Randy Heath, said. "But if we feel there is someone who has just been outstanding in the community, and has just been really tireless in helping others, then we can bestow this honor. I know my Chamber of Commerce Board felt unanimously that Sandy was most deserving of this honor. She has really put her heart and soul into the community - both, through her job and in her personal life."
Borden was thrilled.
"I am very honored and humbled," Borden said.
Borden serves as the president of the Jackson County United Fund, which last year raised nearly $175,000 to assist at least 22 different community agencies, is active in the Jackson Rotary Club, and is a member of the Jackson Area YMCA board as well as many other organizations.

Box - Sextant, Heath & Co, Hezzanith, Endless Tangent Screw Automatic Clamp, No. Y826, 1935 Reg. No: ST 46627 2
- Summary:
- Cedar box used to house a Hezzanith Endless Tangent Screw Automatic Clamp Sextant No. Y826 made by Heath & Co New Eltham, London. It comes with a certificate of examination by the Hezzanith Instrument Works in London, issued 4 July 1935, which states the sextant has a 10 vernier. It was purchased by Martin Spencer-Hogbin in a second hand shop in London around 1946.
Born in Cambridge, England on 27 August 1924 Martin Spencer-Hogbin spent his working life in the shipping industry working primarily for the Blue Funnel Line. In 1957 Martin decided to immigrate to Australia from England, believing it would be a better place to raise children. He travelled via a free passage on the Blue Funnel Line, with his wife and two daughters following as full fare paying immigrants. In Australia he was a superintendent for FG Strang, a stevedoring company, of which he later became director. Martin retired in 1987 and settled in Armadale, Victoria.
Martin used the sextant until he retired from shipboard life in 1957. The sextant is an item prized by its owner, and according to Martin all officers had their own, this one has the '00' corrections which are highly valued. Martin brought the sextant with him when he migrated to Australia in 1957 as a precious personal object, a connection to his shipboard work and as a beautiful piece of craftsmanship in its own right.

The Rawtarian's ThoughtsBy The Rawtarian
Don't believe me that this could taste as good as old-school SAD (standard American diet) ranch? Just try it. I dare ya :)
Raw ranch dressing is another one of those things that I cannot believe it's possible to replicate raw. But, hallelujah, it is possible.
There is nothing like a nice fresh carrot dipped in raw ranch dressing, no?
And I have even had the pleasure of dipping my raw vegan pizza in raw ranch dressing. "Cue heavenly harp sound...."
So here's my favourite raw ranch dressing recipe for you... I use it basically like a normal salad dressing or dip. I usually make one batch and serve it as a vegetable dip, salad dressing and maybe even on a few more exciting things, like in a raw vegan BLT sandwich or dip raw pizza in it if I am feeling particularly daring.
Of course, you also know that the best vegetables to dip in raw ranch dressing are carrots and broccolli, right?

I love this recipe too!! I've made it about 5 times now! My husband and I grew up on ranch dressing. We smeared it on everything! Now that we are dairy and gluten free we were missing it and didn't even know it. Tonight I made it to put on kale that I'll be dehydrating. I'm curious to see how it turns out. Thanks so much!
Dry, Ashley :)

I haven't had a chance to go through all the comments but is there a way to use cashew milk instead of the cashews and water??
Hi Sonya, cashew milk would be too runny! :)
OMG I`ve just tried this today at your recommendation and it is absolutely AMAZING! I will surely keep coming back to this recipe!
Ahhh, yes, I agree that this dressing is amazing! Glad you likey!
May 19, 2015
Raw eating is very new to me. I plan to start eating raw next week. I was wondering if you have to use cashews in this recipe or can you substitute any other nut?
Hi Najla! You could try macadamia nuts. Cashews make dressings nice and creamy - other "hard" nuts won't work, but macadamias are a soft nut so might work!
May 13, 2015
how long does the ranch dressing keep in the fridge after you make it?
Hi Marilyn! It will keep up to five days.

Can I substitute Dill? I don't think I can find it here in Brazil.

You can omit the dill (leave it out completely)

EileenC's Review
Raw ranch dressing recipe
OMG, I just made this, chilled it, and dipped some cauliflower in it to taste.....A-MAZING!!!!! It tastes so creamy and decadent, I'm in heaven! I assumed the cashews were to be soaked so I did that and the dressing came out a bit thinner than yours looks in the photo but it's fine because I wanted it to lightly toss it with my salad anyway. Even so, after chilling it, it coated the cauliflower beautifully. This will be my go-to creamy dressing and crudite dip from now on!! Thank you!!! x
So glad it turned out well for you, Eileen. It's one of my faves too :)

Raw ranch dressing recipe
This ranch is OK, but it's definitely not SAD. It's way too sweet.I didn't understand the honey. My son liked it though and that's all that matters.
Violets Rain

Use a date or two to taste add a little water for processing! it is raw! and it is just sweet enough! Good luck!
Glad your son liked it, Kim. Usually it's the opposite :)
Jan 22, 2015
Could I use fresh dill? For the first time I only have fresh not dried.
Hi Dana.
Yes, you can use fresh dill. Just double the amount of dried :)

Leeanne's Review
Raw ranch dressing recipe
Oh, yummy yum. This is my first venture into making dressings and it turned out oh so good. Thank you so much.
That's so great, Leeanne! The Ranch Dressing is a good one to start with! :)
Jan 08, 2015
Hi, I just found your site, as I'm contemplating going raw and this dressing sounds wonderful, by the way, but as I do everything with gusto, I wanted to ask someone who has been raw for quite some time, is maple syrup really considered raw? I'm from Vermont, the maple syrup state and my family make and sell our pure maple syrup and although it's pure natural sap from the trees, no additives, etc, it is cooked, ie boiled...therefore wouldn't this be a no no for a raw diet? Before reworking what can go in my cupboard and fridge, I just thought I'd check simply because I know how it's made where I understand many wouldn't. Thanks so much for any insight you can share and I'm making this ranch dressing tonight for the first time and I just can't wait! Thank you so much for the inspiration!

After what felt like a lifetime, Jason Goings is starting his position as Aiken County Treasurer today.
Goings, who was one of 11 write-in candidates, didn't know that he won the race in November until several days after the election due to a delay in getting the final results.
Goings, 42, and a native of Belvedere, is excited to finally start his new job.
Though he was elected in November, he started today because it's a position that doesn't go into effect until the beginning of the fiscal year. But he's been in the office working along side now former Treasurer Linda Sharpe since January.
Goings said Sharpe called him soon after the election results were in and said she was there for him if he needed anything.
"We've worked together since the first of January basically getting ready for the transition," Goings said on Thursday.
Over those months, Goings and Sharpe teamed up to make a change in the Treasurer's office in which all bad checks will immediately be sent to the Worthless Check Unit which is operated by the Solicitor's Office.
Sharpe said that she has confidence that Goings is going to do a great job.
Goings said he hopes to make the Treasurer's office as efficient and customer-friendly as possible. And he feels pretty confident in the staff that has been so kind to him over the last few months.
Goings said that the staff has been very welcoming and helpful in making it a positive start to the new position.
"I'm really looking forward to helping not just the citizens of Aiken County, but other departments, too," Goings said.
Goings worked at Silver Bluff High School for almost two decades as a media specialist as well as a teacher of government and economics. He earned a bachelor's degree from Clemson University and a master's degree from the University of South Carolina in Columbia.
He said it was very hard to leave his teaching position, but he is excited for this new opportunity in public service.
Goings thanks residents for writing in his name in November.
"I'm truly grateful to the citizens of Aiken County for entrusting me with the great responsibility that this office has," Goings said.

Josh Erickson '07, MBA'10 readies a group of young "Ticas" for their turn in a soccer tournament.
Grant Leslie '09, MBA'10 draws up plays in the huddle, giving Costa Rican high school students their first taste of American football.
To date, more than 1,200 Costa Rican children have attended a camp offered by Beyond Study Abroad.

Atkinson grads design study abroad program with athletes in mind
When he was a student athlete, Josh Erickson feared studying abroad would interfere with his training schedule. So he never went.
But after earning his MBA from Willamette University in 2010, Erickson and Grant Leslie '09, MBA'10 created a program designed to appeal to students and coaches alike — one that features athletic training, community service and academic courses.
They named it Beyond Study Abroad.
Designed specifically for student athletes, Beyond Study Abroad is a cultural immersion program based in Costa Rica. Participants take academic courses offered through two local universities. They continue a rigorous workout routine with qualified trainers, and they stay with host families. They also volunteer in the community by coaching youth sports.
In 2010, Beyond worked with a few universities in the Northwest, offering six-week summer programs. A year later, it expanded to 20 top-tier liberal arts colleges nationwide and began offering year-round programming.
"We're very relationship driven, and we give our students the freedom to have their own experience," Erickson says.
Daring to dream
After graduating from Willamette in 2007 with a bachelor's degree in sociology, Erickson traveled to Costa Rica. Inspired by months of coaching basketball and teaching English, he knew he had found his calling. But before he started his business, he enrolled at the Atkinson Graduate School of Management and auditioned his idea in the New Ventures course.
"We worked with students from other countries and we learned a lot about international communication," Erickson says. "It provided a great foundation."
Leslie, Erickson's longtime friend and basketball teammate, became Erickson's business partner. He says the guidance from Atkinson's professors was incredible.
"The professors are still engaged with us after graduation, providing an invaluable support network for entrepreneurs," he says.
Creating a brand
While Erickson stays in Costa Rica, Leslie spends much of the year directing marketing and recruiting efforts from New York City. He works predominantly with coaches and athletic directors, doing his part to excite them by what the program offers.
Spreading word of their product is a constant challenge, Leslie says, but Beyond's sports camps are an alluring component. To date, more than 1,200 Costa Rican children have attended a camp, and in summer 2011, student athletes and staff spent more than 1,100 hours coaching kids.
For Leslie and Erickson, giving back to the community is how they stay true toWillamette's motto, "Not unto ourselves alone are we born."
"Seeing college athletes connect with kids is what this program is all about," Erickson says. "Those camps are what they take with them and what they remember."
Thrilled by what the future holds, Leslie and Erickson are moving into new offices in Costa Rica. They're constructing a larger gymnasium — which they will make available for community use — and they plan to expand their program into an English-speaking country next year.
"It's important to have a positive attitude, to see it as a passion in your life rather than just a job," Leslie says about starting a business. "Combat the fear. Just go for it."

Those same qualities have stood him in good stead as Cardiff manager and I'm delighted he has won promotion to the Premier League.
Malky has succeeded where many managers have failed in the 51 long years since Cardiff were last in the top tier, and as a big club it's good to see them back there because a capital city needs to have representation in the Premier League.
With League Cup winners Swansea doing themselves proud in the top flight, these are great times for football in south Wales - and what an atmosphere there will be when those two rivals go head-to-head next season!
You can always rely on a Welsh crowd to give their side fantastic support, whatever the sport, and Cardiff is going to be a difficult place for any side to go to - just ask any of the Championship sides who have made the trip there (with the exception of Peterborough!).
Generally speaking they've earned promotion without spending loads of money. They did bring Frazier Campbell in during January but on the whole Malky has stuck with players he trusts to deliver.
It will be interesting to see if that remains his mantra this summer.
Famously, Malky won promotion as a player with three different sides but was jettisoned twice without playing a game in the top flight before he finally got there with Watford.
I wonder how that will affect his transfer policy? Will he look back and think that he doesn't want his players to go through the same experience and give them the chance? It certainly seems to be more 'en vogue' as the way to go now.
Under Malky's management Cardiff have become well-organised and they stuck to their style of play even when they had a couple of wobbles during the season.
In my view, they've been the best team in the Championship by some distance. Mind you - and this is not to tarnish their success at all - it has been a pretty ordinary league this season.
Peter Whittingham - a midfielder I've always liked - was a key player for them early on in the season and he scored some very important goals, although they did rather dry up.
Likewise Heidar Helguson hasn't scored many in the second half of the season but has always been a decent target man to have up front.
When he's in the side, Craig Bellamy is still explosive and is capable of making a difference. I know it has always been his ambition to play for Cardiff in the Premier League and I hope he does.
Cardiff will almost certainly take the place of Reading, QPR or one other in the Premier League.
There has been plenty of talk this week about which players QPR will have to get rid of to reduce their wage bill if that scenario transpires.
While I have some sympathy for Harry Redknapp, who came into the job at an impossible time, I do think Rangers should thank their lucky stars that the dice are loaded between the Premier League and the Championship in such a way that the teams that go down can have a great chance of coming straight back up.
I say that because the further down the leagues you go, the dice are loaded against that happening. It applies to any club but just indulge me for a moment and look at Hartlepool as a classic case in point!
For most of the season we've struggled to balance the amount that we are allowed to spend on players' wages and transfer fees as a viable percentage of our turnover - an amount we can't exceed.
When you drop down a division, as we're about to do from League One to League Two, the percentage of your turnover that you are allowed to spend on players decreases so clubs that are relegated have to reduce their wage bill immediately - and are not even on a level playing field with the sides in the division that they are going down into.
The long and the short of it is that Hartlepool will have to reduce player wages by a certain percentage before we're allowed to start signing players again.
The players that we most want to hang on to are the ones we are most likely to lose because their hand is being forced by the Financial Fair Play at that level, which means that they have to sell their few prized assets.
A lot of Hartlepool fans have asked me this week if we'll come straight back, which we did the last time we were relegated. But it's darn difficult if you know that you might have to do it without key players like Luke James, Jack Baldwin and Scott Flinders - players who clubs at a higher level will certainly be looking at.
It will be very difficult to hang onto them.
Jeff's Gem of the Week
Plymouth are not quite safe yet but they've given themselves a fantastic chance after winning five games in seven, including the midweek 2-1 victory away at Chesterfield. I thought John Sheridan was pretty harshly treated when he lost his job at Chesterfield but he's proving once again that he is a high-quality manager who perhaps deserves a chance higher up. Hopefully he'll get that chance one day because somehow he's transformed Plymouth's fortunes without funds or goal-scorers! Jason Banton's loan spell produced six goals but he has now returned to Crystal Palace and none of Plymouth's permanent staff have got more than five - yet somehow Plymouth have conjured up these victories. Home Park is a proper football ground and it would be nice to see the good times back.

Car stereo installation guide
Robert Ferency-Viars is the managing editor for the Crutchfield car A/V learning content, and has been with the company since 1999. A Virginia native from the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains, he loves spending time with his wonderful wife and sons, listening to music, writing, and playing games with friends. Robert's love for car audio began at 16 when he installed his first car stereo.
More from Robert Ferency-Viars
This installation guide walks you through the process of installing a new car stereo. Please read over these guidelines before beginning the installation in order to give yourself an idea of what to expect.
You can also download a pdf of the Car Stereo Installation Guide. Note: To view this file, you will need the Adobe Acrobat PDF reader (free download).
Tools Needed (depending upon vehicle)
Remove the factory stereo
When installing a new stereo in your car, your first step will be to remove the old stereo. Pay close attention to the steps involved, for the process for installing your new stereo will be the same, but in reverse.
For detailed information on how to remove the factory stereo in a specific vehicle, refer to your Crutchfield MasterSheet™ instructions, if available. They will walk you through the process step-by-step. Otherwise, you may use the general guidelines below.
Before you begin, start by setting the parking brake and removing the negative cable from the car battery to prevent accidentally short circuiting something.
Disconnect your battery's negative terminal before any installation job to protect your electrical system..
Your factory stereo will be mounted in one of two ways:
- secured in a metal mounting sleeve by spring clips
- bolted to the dash with brackets
Spring clip mounting
If the stereo is held in by spring clips, you'll need a pair of DIN tools. Insert the DIN tools into the holes on eitter side of the unit until a click is heard. The tools serve to release the spring clips and also hook onto the sides of the stereo so that you can pull it out easily. Spread the tools apart slightly then pull the stereo out of the dash.
These DIN tools are used to remove the factory stereo from a 2000 Ford Expedition.
Bolted in place
Sometimes, accessing the stereo requires the removal of one or more trimpanels from the dash. You may have to (carefully) pry the plastic trim away from the dash (which is often secured by hidden pressure clips), or locate and remove bolts to disassemble other pieces of panel. Once you have gained access to the factory stereo, removal should be obvious. The stereo will almost always be secured by four screws, sometimes bolted directly to the front of the dash, other times secured to side brackets. Remove the screws and pull the stereo from the dash.
Four bolts and a pair of side brackets attach the stereo to the dasgh in a 1998 Toyota Sienna.
American cars built before the early 1980s often came with a "shaft-style" stereo, which secured to the dash via nuts and washers to the right and left knobs. A shaft-style stereo must be installed from behind the dash. Getting it into position is the tricky part, since your vehicle's wiring, heater controls, and ductwork may be in the way.
Factory wiring harnesses.
Unplugging the factory stereo
If your vehicle has (or once had) a factory stereo, or if it was pre-wired with a "stereo prep" package, there should be at least one plastic wiring harness behind the stereo opening. This plug(s) connects the stereo to your vehicle's electrical system, and also makes the speaker connections. You will need to unplug the factory stereo from the wiring harnesses, and unplug the antenna to complete the removal process.
Connect the wiring
If Crutchfield carries a custom wiring harness for your vehicle, you can use it to connect your new stereo to your vehicle's factory wiring harnesses. This will ensure that everything works seamlessly, just like the factory stereo did.
A custom wiring harness makes installing a new stereo much easier.
If a harness is not available for your vehicle or if the factory stereo plug was cut off, you'll need to identify each of the stereo wires and connect them to the corresponding wires of your new stereo. If you purchased your new stereo from Crutchfield, our Tech Department may be able to tell you the colors and functions of your car's stereo wires.
Crimping, Posi-Product™ connectors, and soldering
Decide how you want to connect the wires together. Crimping is fast and fairly simple. If you crimp the wires together, be sure to use the correct size crimp connector — typical in-dash stereo wires are 18-gauge, but a few use heavier gauge power and ground wires. There are several types of crimp connectors, including bullet connectors, butt connectors, or crimp caps.
Posi connectors offer a quick and secure twist-on connection for wires, and they can be re-used. Like crimping, you'll want to make sure you have the right wire gauges for the job. The most common Posi connectors can be found here.
Posi-Product connectors provide secure connections for your wiring.
Soldering creates a permanent, professional connection that ensures maximum current transfer. We strongly recommend that you use heat-shrink tubing and a heat gun to insulate the soldered connection. Avoid taping the wires together — the tape will dry out and fall off, exposing the wires and making it only a matter of time before something shorts out.
Usually, it is best to make all of the new stereo's wiring connections via the wiring harness, but if you have to make a direct power connection, you'll need to know the difference between "switched" and "constant" power.
A switched power source is only on when the ignition is keyed — connect your new stereo's main (switched) power lead to a switched power source, so that the stereo will turn off when you turn off the car, and not drain your vehicle's battery.
A constant power source is always on — connect your new stereo's memory lead to a constant power source, so that you don't lose your stereo preset, sound shaping, and clock settings every time you turn off the vehicle.
A rare few high-powered stereos require you to make a direct constant power connection at the positive terminal of your vehicle's battery. This requires a heavier gauge power wire, an in-line fuse (usually included), and a ring terminal to connect the power wire to the battery clamp. You will have to route the power wire through the vehicle firewall and into the engine compartment in order to make the connection at the battery.
A good ground connection is vital for proper stereo performance. If you are not using a custom wiring harness, look for a bolt, screw, or wire that contacts the bare metal of your vehicle's chassis. Loosen the bolt, slip the ground wire underneath (this is almost always a black wire), then tighten the bolt. If your ground wire doesn't contact bare metal, your stereo won't operate. A loose or weak ground connection can result in signal noise interfering with your music.
In-dash video wiring
If your new stereo has a video monitor built in, you will also need to connect a wire to your emergency brake wire. This wire acts as a switch to turn on the video monitor when the parking brake is engaged. Follow the instructions included with your in-dash monitor to locate the emergency brake ground wire.
Install the new stereo
If the original stereo was bolted into the dash, you might need to remove the mounting brackets from the sides of it and attach them to the sides of your new stereo. More likely, you will need a mounting kit (which may include a trim ring, a dash insert, brackets, a faceplate, and/or a metal mounting sleeve) to install the stereo (Figure 1).
If a mounting kit is required, install it first. Then slide the new stereo's metal mounting sleeve (if included) into the kit. Secure the metal sleeve by using a screwdriver to bend the sleeve's metal tabs into place (Figure 2).
Once the dash opening is ready for the new stereo, hold the stereo near the opening. Connect the stereo wiring adapter to the vehicle's wiring harness and plug in the antenna cable.
Slide the stereo into the dash opening, but don't fasten it down just yet. First, test the stereo to make sure everything is working properly. It's easier to fix a problem while everything is still exposed. Turn on the power and try each source (AM, FM, CD, USB, etc.). Then adjust the balance and fader settings to check that each speaker is working. Once you're sure the stereo is wired and working properly, finish securing it in the dash and reinstall any pieces of dash trimpanel that you removed.
Installing a backstrap
A mounting bracket — or backstrap — is often included with new stereos. For most installations, a backstrap usually is not a necessary part of the installation process. However, it can be useful to help support the stereo in your dash; it also helps reduce vibration. One end of the backtrap attaches (with a screw) to the rear of the stereo. The other end attaches to an existing bolt or screw behind the dash. Just bend and shape the backstrap as necessary to enable mounting.
You might need to use a backstrap to support the rear of your new stereo.
Can you do it?
If your vehicle has an upgraded version of the factory sound system or an integrated stereo/climate control panel, you will probably need a special "OEM integration" adapter in order to install a new stereo. The appropriate adapter can be purchased from crutchfield.com. An adapter allows you to use a new stereo with your existing speaker system.
This adapter allows you to install an aftermarket stereo in a 2010-up Chevy Camaro's dash panel, while maintaining all heating, ventilation, and air conditioning controls.
By now you should have some idea of what is involved in replacing your factory stereo with a new, better, aftermarket stereo. The next step is to see if Crutchfield has a MasterSheet™ for your vehicle. That's a set of installation instructions custom designed for your specific vehicle. It will describe every step of the process and tell you where to find every screw you need to remove for the installation. A MasterSheet™ takes all the guesswork out of the installation.
Even without a Crutchfield MasterSheet™, most people can install an in-dash stereo without much trouble, using just the tips in this article. This in turn leads to a savings in installation fees ($50 is common, and often it's more). But if you would rather not tackle the task, there are competent and highly trained professional stereo installers in every town where you'd find teenagers and cars.

We ask that you not go hiking alone if you have not hiked in the area before, and also that you let someone know what trail you will be hiking and what time you expect to return to Tassajara. There are also a number of potential dangers of which to be aware. There is poison oak on the trails as well as ticks, rattlesnakes, and the very rarely seen mountain lion. Please do not drink the creek water -- like many wilderness areas, Giardia intestinalis has been found in the creek in recent years. Tassajara's drinking water is from a spring and is thoroughly tested and safe.
