Sennheiser ew 300 IEM G3; an incredible wireless in-ear monitoring system. Using adaptive diversity to eliminate dropouts and interruption, the G3 delivers amazingly high reception quality.
Wireless Monitoring System
Trusted by professionals all over the world, Sennheiser monitoring systems just got a whole lot better.
Setting the bar high with the Sennheiser G2 personal monitoring system, the new Sennheiser G3 takes the wireless monitoring system to new heights and allows you to hear and perform better than ever before.
Dropout Free Performance
To ensure reliable performance allowing you to have the confidence you need when performing, Sennheiser have made use of adaptive-diversity receiver technology.
With this useful design, the headphone cable acts as a secondary antenna – when the receiver detects interference or that dropout will occur, it seamlessly switches to the next antenna.
Easy Set Up and Comfortable In-Ear Monitors
The body pack features Easy Setup which automatically scans the frequency banks for an open frequency and once complete Easy Setup syncs with the transmitter via infra-red to transfer data from the receiver.
Sturdy metal housing protects the receiver pack to prevent damage so you can be as active and energetic as your performance demands, safe in the knowledge that your wireless monitoring system will be well shielded.
The in-ear monitor headphones come with various ear-fitting pads that allow for an individual, comfortable fit while reproducing the signal from the adaptive diversity receiver with precise accuracy.
Feature-Filled Transmitter Unit
Similar to the receiver body pack, the transmitter unit is housed in a rugged metal casing so that it is well protected when you take it on the road and can withstand the associated bumps and bangs of being lugged around from show to show.
Pass-through outputs allow you to easily incorporate your wireless transmitter with other devices and split the input signal while combination XLR and 1/4-inch input jacks allows connection for a wide range of microphones and other audio sources.
Thanks to an integrated Ethernet port, your audio can be monitored and controlled remotely with the Sennheiser Wireless Systems Manager software via your PC or Mac.
The large, brightly lit display allows for easy viewing, even on the most dimly lit stage and other adverse lighting conditions.

This week: Maude Barlow was here at UVic in October, speaking out against another brick in the corporate-rule agenda wall, CETA, or the Canada-European Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement. It was the first leg of a cross-Canada tour still underway.
Maude Barlow and Canada's Communities Are Not for Sale in the first half.
And; to watch the nightly news, you'd be forgiven for believing the only way to settle disputes is through violence or threats of violence. From the not so deftly veiled promises of president Obama that "no options will be taken off the table" of this or that international dispute, to the police riot squaders spraying peaceful men and women, old and young, with tear gas and rubber-encased steel bullets, it seems might makes right in this world.
But, beyond the glare of television lights, past the bleeding leading stories of the day, millions work diligently, without pause, for peaceful solutions to apparently intractable conflict.
Michael Riordon is one of those. Author, documentary film maker, playwright, and lecturer, Riordon has written five books, the latest of which is, 'Our Way to Fight: Peace Work Under Siege in Israel-Palestine.'
Michael is at the University of Victoria tonight, in the David Strong Building, presenting, 'Let My People Speak: Hear the repressed voices of peace workers in Palestine and Israel' Of his work, Riordon says, "A primary goal is to recover voices and stories of people who are silenced and relegated to the margins and written out of the 'official' version of events."
Michael Riordon in the second half.
And; Victoria Street Newz publisher and CFUV broadcaster, Janine Bandcroft will be here at the bottom of the hour to bring us news from an eventful week past on Victoria's streets for the People's Assembly, and beyond our borders too. But first, Maude Barlow, standing on guard for Canada where the government will not.

M-Maybe, Offset Lithograph, Roy Lichtenstein
ROY LICHTENSTEIN (1923-97) An American painter, print-maker and decorative artist who achieved fame in the 1960s. His paintings, based on motifs and procedures of comic strips and advertisements established him as one of the central figures of American Pop Art. Using bright strident colors and techniques such as Ben-Day dots, he ironically incorporates mass-produced emotions and objects into highly sophisticated references to art history. His Pop images of spectacular color, often with vernacular imagery and witty texts, lend themselves to multiple interpretations.

Zakiya Larry, CEO of Quest Media Training providing media coaching and public relations.She has been a speaker in the East Room at the White House, managed publicity for Jumping the Broom, Heaven is For Real, and coordinated production for Oprah. Her media features include Ebony, The Washington Post, Tom Joyner's Black America Web and more. Zakiya has also held 13 pageant titles including Miss Black Texas USA.She is a member of the Public Relations Society of America, National Association of Black Journalists and Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.
TheBOSSNetwork: What were some obstacles that you faced in the beginning process of starting your business or career?
Zakiya Larry: Most of my major obstacles were internal. I feared no one would want what I offered. I was afraid that my ideas would always be bigger than my revenue.I thought that my race and gender would hinder my company's growth. As a former journalist, I'm a researcher by nature. Figuring out HOW to start was never a problem. Making the leap, was.
BN: What inspired you to break into your particular industry?
ZL: When in the newsroom as a journalist, my heart would break editing the interviews of young athletes that would interview poorly. I saw the reactions on social media. I heard people laugh and mock them or insult their intelligence. I decided that I wanted to use my expertise to help remedy the divide between the thoughts in one's head and effective delivery that could make media a launch pad. Six years later, I am media coaching, brand building and managing crises for international figures and executives. I still aim to work with athletes (the reason I started)!
BN: How do you balance your personal and professional life or have you been able to find a balance?
ZL: Balance is an ongoing process for me. Currently, I schedule meetings with myself. It feels odd to 'pencil in' eating (really), nail appointments or even reminders to call friends and family. But, I'm willing to feel a little odd until it becomes organic. I am now passionately intentional about living my best life with the people I've been blessed with.
BN: What is an inspirational quote that you live by?
ZL: Isaiah 40:31 (a must read!)
BN: Who were some influential people or mentors that helped or encouraged you along the way?
ZL: I have many mentors. Others are in my head. Ha! Seriously, I'm fortunate to have been encouraged and coached by the best, from: Bishop T.D. and Mrs. Serita Jakes, Lynette Khalfani-Cox (preeminent financial expert), Van Moody (bestselling author of The People Factor and Dr. Oz Core Team Expert), Jonathan Sprinkles (America's Connection Coach) and Charles Williams (CBS New York Producer). I also draw inspiration from Oprah (of course), Lori George Billingsley (Vice President, Community Relations Coca-Cola North America) and a few more women of power and vision.
BN: What are your "must-haves" to keep your career or business going strong?
ZL: I MUST HAVE times of silence to spur creativity and ideas. Also, partners and vendors that are highly structured, detailed oriented, discreet and creative.
BN: What is your definition of a BOSS?
BN: What is your definition of a BOSS?
ZL: A BOSS is a woman that defies logic. She falls forward, refuses anything less than 'better'. She wills herself whole, is intentional about winning...and is equally as intentional about helping others to win.

The very first ActionScript or AS version saw the world 17 years ago in, 2000. Back then it was created to code simple 2D object-oriented graphics.
Version 2.0 Upgrades
The AS version 2.0 was introduced for the Flash Player 7 back in 2003. And then the AS3 came out in 2006 with the release of FP 9, the first AS3 built app. The new adaptation is radically different from its two predecessors.
- The language was significantly more powerful than its earlier versions.
- A virtual appliance was necessary for the upgraded language thus AS Virtual Machine or ASVM 3 was released.
- AS 3 can only be interpreted by FP 9 and higher.
- 10-15 times faster code implementation comparing to its predecessor.
- Minimum global variables.
- The new version requires additional learning as it is much harder to code in AS 3.
- AS 3 makes it easier to employ a third party script.
Since AS3 is an object oriented programming code all the variables are down to an absolute minimum. Thus this language is much harder to master than version 2. But you can set up a dialogue among these two coding languages making them correspond through a local connection.
ActionScript Environment
The migration between the versions might seem to be extremely complicated but there is an equivalent for AS 2 and you can easily find a free migration manual.
Working with browser supported scripts is fairly easy as all you need to do is transfer it to your browser. Follow your browser messages and you will easily detect all errors. But how do you write scripts in AS?
- You can resort to the producer company and use Adobe built products. For example Adobe Air is an app meant for complementing content with Flash features. Adobe Animate CC is the latest version of Adobe Professional and is meant to code animation for cartoons/TV production.
- Apache Flex – an open source development landscape used to develop apps for iOS, PC, Android and Mac OS.
- Scaleform is a proprietary game builder interface by Autodesk used for Flash graphics.
- Stingray by Autodesk
The AS 3 is great for bigger scale project and commercial game coding. But if you are a newbie we suggest you start with learning AS 2.0 as an object oriented programming code or OOP is much harder to master and it is way more time consuming. But if you are a perfectionist and looking for an immaculate structure for your app than AS 3 might be just what you need.

When it's cold and rainy outside or if you're feeling a little under the weather this is my yummy, wholesome, go to dish. Homemade Chicken Udon Noodle Soup!
A few years ago I got the flu, was feeling horrible & needed something to eat but didn't know what. To make me have some food that was both yummy & healthy Mark threw together this dish to help me feel better. (bless him he is a beautiful man!)
This dish has evolved over the years & you can make your own additions or reductions to make your own yummy versionat home!
So to start we have the following:
- Chicken (I use thigh meat because i think it's juicer. But you can use breast if you wish.)
- Olive Oil.
- Onion: Large Diced.
- Udon Noodles
- Ginger: Peeled & very finely diced.
- Garlic: Put through a garlic press.
- Baby Carrots: Halved then sliced.
- Broccolini: Halved.
- Mushrooms: I use pre-sliced, but you can substitute for any kind cleaned & sliced.
- Bok Choi: Whole. (depending on what I have grown or what the supermarket has available, I will use Choy Sum instead)
- Chilli flakes: To Taste. everyone has their own hotness meter, so just start off small & add more to taste as needed.
- Coriander: Your choice. ( Not everyone likes the taste of coriander /cilantro. So you can add this if you like, but it isn't a must have to make this dish a success.
- Salt & Pepper to Taste.
- Chicken or Vegetable Stock: Not shown.
In a large pot put olive oil, onion, garlic. Stir occasionally until onion is limp & slightly brown.
Add Chicken & cook until cooked on the outside.
Add chicken /vegetable broth with Ginger.
Bring to the boil & then reduce to a slow simmer.
Add mushrooms.
Cook on a low heat for 1 hour or until chicken is cooked all the way through. I like to let it cook a little longer on a slow heat so the chicken is super tender until it breaks apart before I add the remainder of the ingredients.
Once you are happy with the chicken add the Broccolini & cook until it is cooked to your liking (i like it firm, but cooked all the way through.)
Next add carrot, coriander (if you wish) & udon noodles.
Bring to the boil, Let it bubble for 8- 10 minutes. Turn off the heat.
Serve & then enjoy this amazing brothy chicken veggie beauty!
Let me know how you go & what changes you made! xo

The Asylum Seeker Program (ASP) provides financial assistance, case management and wrap around support to people seeking asylum who are living in the community in New South Wales (NSW). The ASP is a two year program that is funded internally by the St Vincent de Paul Society. Casework is provided through the Inner City and Western Sydney Case Management Teams. Fortnightly payments are administered by the Project Officer and are calculated at 89 % of Newstart Allowance.
The key focus of the program is to support the vulnerable cohort of people seeking asylum referred to as 'double negatives.' These individuals and families are experiencing financial hardship, as they are at the end of the status determination process and therefore ineligible for the majority of support services. Clients accessing the ASP have no income, are unable to work, are not supported by the community and are do not receive payments from any other organisations. In many cases, clients are unable to meet their living expenses and are at risk of homelessness. The program supports these individuals and families as they wait for their refugee status to be resolved.

The yoga that best fits the temperament for many of us living in the western world is Karma Yoga, the yoga of action. We are all about doing. We strive to do more in the course of a day, or a lifetime. We desire to better ourselves financially, so we can do more with our families and friends. When we meet someone new, the first question we often ask is "What do you do?"
The word karma means "to do" and as a yoga of action it recognizes that you cannot be in a physical body and not do. Life is action. Even the decisions you make not to do something, are a form of doing. The question the ancient yogis posed is this: Is it possible to be in action, without losing your spiritual connection and balance in the process?
One of the great books from India is the Bhagavad Gita, written sometime before 500 BC. The yoga of action is explained in exquisite detail in a conversation on the battlefield between Arjuna, the warrior, and his charioteer, Krishna, who is the voice of the infinite. Krishna asks Arjuna to examine who is doing the action. Is it Arjuna, a man separate from all others, including those on the other side of the battlefield? If so, then his actions are determined by his upbringing, beliefs, previous defeats and victories, and what others think of him. What if, Krishna poses, Arjuna is not a solitary, independent, isolated entity traveling through time and space towards what can only conclude in his death. What if Arjuna (and all of us really) has deluded himself into thinking he is separate, when really he is made of the same essence as the universe itself.
It turns out that the subtle distinction between seeing yourself as separate and seeing yourself as connected plays out in large and small ways in how you act, what actions you engage in, and your inner experience of the actions themselves. If you come to see that underneath it all, you are connected to an all encompassing, ever-present, unending and infinite source (no matter what you call it) then you come to see that who you really are is a receiver, rather than a transmitter. All you have has come to you, and through you, but does not originate from you. This shifts your attention from trying to be a better transmitter, to focus instead on how to improve your reception.
Before you act, you ask, "What is the highest good in this situation?" And you ask this question of an infinite source, of which you are a part, and quietly listen, asking for this source to fill your thoughts, words and actions with the highest and best actions possible.
This leads to a different kind of action, because when you act in service to the infinite, you also act in harmony with all those you touch. In this way, Krishna tells Arjuna, you can give yourself fully to the action itself, and not to an end result living somewhere in the future. Krishna puts it this way, "Better indeed is knowledge than mechanical practice. Better than knowledge is meditation. But better still is surrender of attachment to results, because there follows immediate peace."
This practice is only difficult if you have been conditioned to think that who you are depends on how well what you do is judged by others. Much of the stress in life is not due to the actions themselves, but how much we believe our self worth, attractiveness, and relevance is tied up in the result. Worry, angst, and all other future-oriented emotions disappear when you dive deeply into the action itself, and find your fulfillment in the moment, not the awards ceremony at the end.
This is what being in action is all about. In the simple act of being, you absorb and are infused by the infinite, which is the source of all there is, including you. And not being separate from it gives you access to all that it is, including the ability to create something from nothing, and the opportunity for endless improvement.
One way to practice receptivity to the infinite is through prayer. A prayer to the infinite need not be merely to influence outcomes, such as what happens when we want someone to be protected from harm, or to be healed. A prayer can also be a sincere request to see more clearly, to be filled with wisdom and to know the infinite more fully in thoughts, words and actions.
I encourage you to find some time this week for quiet contemplation. Consider your source. Where is home for you? And when you say the word I, as in "I want," or "I know," what is the source of that I? Try not to settle on an answer. Keep it open, so you can be filled with new insights daily.
In peace,

Final pay scale chart is announced after merging 3 adhoc reliefs. Earlier in the budget it was announced to merge 2 adhoc reliefs. But in budget discussions it was approved to merge three adhoc reliefs (2013,2014,2015) in the basic pay. An adhoc relief of 10 % of running basic pay also approved. So final pay scales chart is as under. The new pay scale are effective from July first 2016.

The streets of Ahwatukee are an absolute treasure trove of illuminated and decorated houses during the holiday season, including the yearly display at the home of Frank and Dianne Polimene.
In the shadows of the nearby South Mountain, the landmark red lights of the peak's television towers shine in the darkness overhead as a sea of glowing merriment takes place in the couple's front yard.
The centerpiece of the display is a scale-sized Christmas train driven by Santa Claus, complete with a hot cocoa tank car, that chugs around a 100-foot-long track encircling the display. Built by Frank Polimene, a retired hardware store owner, it's activated by the push of a button (or from the flashing high beams of passing vehicles) and also has a flatcar that's periodically filled with candy canes for visitors by a automated loader.
The Numbers:
Strands and lights: An estimated 17,000 lights.

Inflatables: None, but their next-door neighbor has a gigantic Santa Claus on his rooftop.
Other decorations: A dozen eight-foot-tall twinkling snowflakes are erected on the hill behind the house while an illuminated volcano belches smoke along the train tracks. Stuffed animals ride on a Ferris wheel, candy cane carousel, and teeter-totter. On top of the roof, a wooden cutout of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer tries to hoist Santa up to the chimney using a rope and pulley, and one of the garages is occupied by a life-sized interactive Saint Nicholas that sings and dances after being activated by clapping.
Estimated electric bill: "It's not so bad anymore," Frank says. "It used to be $300 a month, but since I switched over to CFLs [compact fluorescent lightbulbs] and LEDs, it's only an extra $120 a month."
Why do you decorate? "I really love Christmas, especially like seeing kids come up to watch the train and see the lights. I had a great childhood and many fun Christmases while growing up in Cleveland," Frank says. "I've been doing this sort of thing for 33 years - 21 of them while living in Phoenix. It gets larger each year and I'm slowly running out of 'stage' to build stuff on, so I don't know what I'm gonna do next year."
Frank and Dianne Polimene's holiday display is located at 541 East Mountain Sky Avenue in Ahwatukee. Hours are from 5-11 p.m. nightly through January 1. Click here for more info.

Technical analysis is a term that we hear a lot in the stock market. But what does it actually mean and how can it help for technical analysis of stocks and options Intraday trading? Today, we'll cover the basics and tell you everything you need to know.
What is Technical Analysis of stocks?
Technical analysis of stock (TA) is the use of past market data to analyze INDEX and make better trading decisions. It's based on the idea that supply and demand will determine a options premium more accurately than the INDEX intrinsic or "true" value.
Technical analysts look at the price movement over time, trading volume, and other historical market data. Then, they find trends and patterns which can be used to predict future price movements.
It can seem complicated at first, but many traders actually find it easier than its counterpart, fundamental analysis. It's less subjective, involves less research, and can be used even if you don't know a lot about the industry or company.

The 3 Assumptions of Technical Analysis of stocks
Technical analysis of stocks is very popular, especially for traders who like Intraday trading.
But it's important for you to understand it well before risking your hard-earned money. Before you go all-in, here are the 3 main assumptions in TA that you should know:
#1: The market discounts everything.
This is one of the strongest assumptions in TA. Here, we assume that all publicly available information is already "priced-in" or reflected in the options premium.
Our assumption is that when market players get information, they react to it by either buying or selling shares. Because of this, supply and demand will immediately adjust along with the options premium.
Any news, disclosures, or announcements won't matter anymore because the market is always a step ahead. You can never have any "new" information that the market didn't already account for,
#2: Prices move in trends.
Technical analysts believe that price movements are not random. They will always move in some general direction, whether upward, downward, or sideways.
For example, if a certain stock's price is increasing, then it is more likely that the price will continue to increase. If the price is going down, then it is more likely that the price will continue to go down.
The trend can be short-, medium-, or long-term, but prices always tend to move in one direction and are more likely to continue that trend rather than move randomly.
#3: History repeats itself.
People behave in a predictable way. Because of this, similar events and information are usually met with similar reactions. Bad earnings will make people want to sell, expansion plans will make people want to buy, and so on.
For the year Fy17-18 we have traded Bank Nifty options Intraday options based on historical patterns which repeat over and over again which helped us to grow our account to over 110.64% in 12 months,

This allows us to use past market data and chart patterns to predict future price movements and market behavior.
Basic Concepts in Technical Analysis
Now that you know a bit more about technical analysis and the assumptions behind it, let's cover some of the basic concepts in TA. Each of these concepts can be a full article on its own, but for now we'll just run through the most important facts to get you started.
1. Support and Resistance
Support and resistance are two of the most basic concepts in technical analysis. You can already use them to make trading decisions, but they also form the foundation of more complex strategies and trading systems.
Support is the price that, historically, a Index has had difficulty falling below. This is the point where the market considers the price to be "cheap". Demand becomes so strong that it stops the price from going any lower.
(Here the current resistance is @25500 levels & support is @24750)
Resistance is simply the opposite of support. This is the point where the INDEX price usually starts going down because there is too much supply and not enough demand.
Support and resistance levels are not always precise and they can be broken, but it's a simple and proven concept that many find useful. The basic rule when trading using support and resistance is to buy on support and sell on resistance.
2. Trend Analysis
There are always going to be ups and downs in the stock market and in every stock, but these ups and downs will eventually form a trend that moves in some general direction—this is actually one of the key assumptions of TA that we discussed above.
There are 3 basic types of trends
(Currently Bank Nifty is in Uptrend in hourly chart)
Identified by a series of higher highs and higher lows. The general movement over time is going upward.
(Red lines indicate down trend in hourly chart)
Identified by a series of lower highs and lower lows. The general movement over time is going downward.
There is no clear pattern going upward or downward. The general movement over time is horizontal or flat.
Similar to support and resistance, trends are not guaranteed to continue to hold. That's why they can be further classified into short-, medium-, and long-term trends. Trends can and do change. But unless something happens to change the market behavior, then the trend is likely to continue.
The general rule of thumb? Buy Call on Uptrend & put options in Down trend
3. Volume
A lot of technical analysis involves looking at the option premium, but that's not the only important statistic in TA. Another equally important, if not more important, number to look at is the trading volume.
The trading volume tells you the number of shares that were bought and sold in a particular time frame (usually a day). You can see the volume shown as a bar graph at the bottom of the options chart.
Volume is important because it gives context to price movements. It tells you how strong or weak a trend or chart pattern is.
For example: If the price of a down trending stock starts going up, does it mean the trend changed to an uptrend? Take a look at the volume and you'll find out. If the volume is low, then the trend will probably continue going down. If the trading volume is high, it means that there is a strong demand for the stock and the trend will likely change to an uptrend.
There are many kinds of charts that traders can use to monitor the stock market, but the most popular is probably the candlestick chart.
A candlestick chart shows four key prices for the day—the opening price, closing price, highest price, and lowest price. These are based on that day's completed transactions.
If the candle is green, it means that the closing price was higher than the opening price. If it is red, it means the opening price was higher than the closing price.
The colors might change depending on the chart you're using, but one color will always show an increase in price over the day and another color will show a decrease in price.
Once you understand how to read charts, then you can also start seeing patterns forming. Because TA assumes that history repeats itself, we can use past patterns to predict future movements in the market.

A mom of two children ages eight and two bought a toque at retailer M Boutique's Vaughan Mills location last week only to discover a label prior to washing it which read: "This product may contain chemicals considered by the state of California to lead to cancer, birth defects or other harms." The mother mentioned that she felt violated by the retailer when she later saw all the tags removed from the remaining hats after revisiting the store.
In a statement, the retailer apologized for the inconvenience, mentioning that they do not produce their products and are at the mercy of their suppliers. They are offering a refund for those who purchased one of the 20 hats sold.
The tag comes as a warning as a result of Proposition 65, which is a Californian law accompanying products featuring life-threatening chemicals. Cancer.org states:
"California's Proposition 65, also called the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act, was enacted in 1986. It is intended to help Californians make informed decisions about protecting themselves from chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm…"
While Canada does not have any laws against retailers removing foreign tags or labels, Health Canada told CP24 that the Consumer Product Safety Act binds retailers to stop selling a product if they have information that it has negative health impacts. This Canadian law may arguably be seen as ambiguous and vague, which does not put the health of Canadians first, as there may be a clear bias to aid retailers.
Should retailers put their customer's health and safety first? Let us know in the comment section below.

1975 Raleigh Sports
This one's gone to a new home. Sold at cost to a young woman I work with.
Earlier this summer she'd bought this bike. A 1969 CCM Galaxie.
The Galaxie went to her room mate and she traded up to the Raleigh.
Picked this one up today for a reasonable $100.00 (CDN). The young lady I bought from was moving and wants to buy something more modern.
She told me that she'd gotten the bike from a friend's grandmother and once I started to clean it up I believe her. One clue is the trigger in the flattened position as shipped from the factory. Also the cables and clips are all original and the paint is cleaning up nicely.
The tires were replaced last year and the mechanic had put the front wheel on backwards as the bearing adjuster had backed out quite a bit.
Not sure what I'm going to do with this but I'm sure it will find a good home.
More Bike Show Photos
It's too bad that the grass was so dry this year…
More photos from the show can be found on the
Toronto Vintage Bicycle Show
Getting the fleet ready for the show!
1975 Raleigh Sports Update
I gave this one a quick cleanup, repacked all the bearings and replaced the brake cables.
Total cost to date:
Purchase @ $100.00
Two cables @ $6.00
Master link @ $5.00
It has the short lived self adjusting brake levers that do seem overly complicated.
The only other thing I want to do is replace the brake pads.
Raleigh 3 Speed Tourist For Sale
A new Toronto Kijiji posting with the seller asking $400.00 or best offer.
Interesting Raleigh 3 Speed
Blog reader Steve T. brought this one to my attention. Advertised on Kijiji close to Kingston.
A mid to late 50's Raleigh with US Army markings.
I suspect the headlamp was transplanted from another bike as I don't think the US used any British Bikes. I could be wrong.
Perhaps it was a movie prop.
1966 Dunelt 3 Speed
Also on Kijij this week is this 1966 Dunelt 3 speed with a leather Wrights saddle. Seller is asking $230 but I'm sure is open to a reasonable offer.
I'm not sure but it looks like the front forks could be bent.
Raleigh Sports 3 Speed
Here's a nice coffee/bronze coloured Sports with a Dynohub listed on Kijiji, Toronto @ $175.00.
2016 Toronto Vintage Bicycle Show!
Save the Date.
Raleigh Shopper 3 Speed
Another Kijiji posting here in Toronto. An early 70's non folding Raleigh RSW. Located in Parkdale, seller is looking for a reasonable offer.
The Anatomy of a Bicycle Tyre
I picked up an old Norman Ladies' frame recently and the front wheel/tire was on odd size, 26″ x 1 1/4″.
The tire itself was an old Dunlop Champion and completely shot. I wanted to keep the inner tube as I find old tubes hold air better than the new ones.
I tried to remove the tire with the regular tire irons but found it would not budge. Closer examination revealed a metal wire bead.
I cut the bead with bolt cutters and got it off.
Dunlop Champion.
26 x 1 1/4.
Hard to see but says "Inflate Hard".
I suspect that this was an expensive racing tire.
Kijiji Listings
A couple of interesting bikes on Kijiji, Toronto this morning.
A mid 60's Raleigh Sports @ $190.00 with a somewhat cumbersome "Sportshift".
And a good lookin' mid 70's Raleigh Tourist @ $250.00.
1966 Dunelt 3 Speed
Currently advertised on Kijiji, Toronto. Asking price is $275.00.
The $3.00 Bicycle
This one's back together and somewhat roadworthy. Total costs to date (excluding labour):
New brake cable @ $3.00
It rides and shifts OK but I think I'll shell out for a new shifter cable ($8.00) and a new pair of brake pads ($5.00).
It just needs a bit more cleaning and some fine tuning.
Another Eatons Glider
I was looking for a Ladies' bike for a friend of mine who is coming to town shortly and I didn't want to spend too much as she's only here for a month or so. George at Parkdale Bicycles had this Eatons Glider 5 speed out front and was kind enough to give it to me for this project.The frame was in decent shape and he had already repacked the bearings. The derailleur was missing as well as any cables and pads.
I decided to make it into a 3 speed as I have the parts in the shed.
The hub is dated 1965.
The only real costs on this will be for some new cables and pads. I'm hoping to keep this one under $20.00!
I think it will serve it's purpose and when my friend returns to Mexico I'll return the bike to George for him to sell. My work will count as a rental….
1974 Raleigh Superbe
A neighbour brought this bike over the other day for me to have a look at. She'd bought it on an impulse last year and now realizes that it's too tall and heavy for her to ride and carry up to her apartment….
A responsible seller should have told her this.
Someone was interested in buying it and I just gave it a quick cleaning and topped up the oil/air etc.
An examination revealed it to be a 1974 Canadian built model and as far as I could tell was completely original with a few exceptions.
The coveted "R" nuts were there.
The Dynohub spun freely but did not seem to work.
The old style bell was very nice.
The bike had new tires and pads and rode very well.
There is a lesson here for people that want to buy a vintage bicycle. There's a greater amount of owner responsibility in the ongoing maintenance and upkeep of these things than with some modern bikes.
It's now somehow cool to ride one of these around but you need to be prepared to do your homework.
Another Eastman Winchester
Listed recently on Kijiji, a rod and lever equipped Eastman bicycle from India. $150 or best offer. It would make an interesting custom Path Racer.
Cheap Eatons Glider
I've done a quick rebuild on this one. Originally a 5 speed, I bought the frame for $20.00 and spent as little as possible to put it back together. Not much to look at but it rides fine and stops…
The rear wheel has a 1968 Sturmey Archer Coaster hub and there's a single caliper on the front.
Total cost on this one:
Frame @ $20.00
Back Wheel and tire @ $10.00
2 cotter pins @ $2.00
Supplies @ $5.00
Everything else was either on the frame or came from pieces in the shed.
Frame also came with a nice period kickstand which will migrate over to one of my bikes in need.
This will either go to a former student (at cost) or be a loaner for a friend who's coming to visit.
New Blue Raleigh for Steve
Blog reader Steve T. has sent some photos of his new purchase.
Details to follow.
On a Positive Note
Had a very nice day here in Toronto on this Bitsa, Raleigh frame with 28″ wheels and a coaster brake….
Photo in front of the NEW Parts Unknown location, 642 King West at Bathurst (up the alley).
642 King West. George is up the alley to the right.
The old English name for a passage like this is a SNICKELWAY .
I'm not joking…..
Another Eatons Glider
Reasonably priced at $160.00, this bike is currently for sale on Kijiji Toronto.
Expensive But Interesting
Another Kijiji posting in Toronto. A vintage Ladies DL-1 Tourist from the late 1930's.
Seller is asking a hefty $1300.00 but given the age, condition and overall completeness the price may not be that out of line.
The Quadrant Shifter was last used in 1938 along with the K hub.
A period Wrights composite saddle.
The paint and rims look good as well.
Broken Bottom Bracket
I had hoped to turn this Canadian built Raleigh frame into a 3 speed Path Racer of sorts. It looked like a good candidate as it was tall and free….
As it turns out, it would not accept the adjustable cup on the BB and a closer inspection revealed that it was cracked in a couple of spots. Not sure what would have caused this (over tightening?). In any case it's been scrapped. I saved the forks and am looking for a new frame/project.
Toronto Vintage Bicycle Show 2016!
This year's show is scheduled for July 24th at Trinity Bellwoods Park here in Toronto.
Keep posted for details.
For a look at last year's show click here.
1960 Oxford 3 Speed
This could be a re-branded Robin Hood. Union Cycle Company. Currently listed on Kijiji Toronto for $300.00. It is a tall frame, Precision Engineered and Safety Tested!
Union Cycle is a bit of a mystery brand with bikes being built in Japan, Germany, Holland and England. Below, a nice Japanese version. You can see how closely they were copying an English bike.
1978 Raleigh Supercycle
Trash or Treasure? You Decide!
A neighbour dropped off this rough Supercycle frame last night. I suspected that it was another Raleigh re-brand. The small Made in Canada sticker is the same as the one on my Canadian made (assembled?) Raleigh Superbe. The serial number, RN851730 decodes as R (Canada) N (October) 8 (1978).

My salary is as follows: Basic 6000 Transport Allowance:1800 HRA:4200 Medical & Education Allowance 2100 Other Allowance:1100 Total Salary 15200. Do I fall out of the compulsory ceiling limit of Rs 15000/- pm. If not what will be the minimum EPF deduction applicable.
For EPF calculation your Gross Salary will not come into picture. It will be only your Basic+DA. If DA is not part of your salary, then only basic. So in your case basic is Rs.6,000. So it is 12% of Rs.6,000 i.e Rs.720 as your contribution towards EPF. You can't opt out of EPF.
But other allowances can be counted as part of Dearness allowance or not. If I don't want the deduction what is the way.
Mukul-Your other allowance will not be part of either DA or salary. So you have no option but to be part of EPF.
Here I want to know more about deduction of EPF from salary,
I am not getting the EPF deduction benefit as I am permanent employee of the Employer. My CTC is 5L+ & I am working with the employer since 8 years but employer is not deducting my EPF,as he is not enrolling me in to EPF contribution scheme. As I seen the blogs over here, When I admit him to deduct my PF he is saying me the rule that has been implemented by the Govt. as if ur salary is more than 15K then its on employer that wheather to deduct PF or not.
Plz help me in my case what should I do to do contribution in EPF sceme to serve the retirment life
Sincere Thanks

Most coaches, and I'd bet most parents at this point, have a smartphone and internet connection as they are on the sidelines. So why not use that to our advantage with some helpful free apps? There are some paid apps that may do better (feel free to comment), but the following ones are ones I've found that provide important information, especially when kids health is on the line:
- Red Cross Android First Aid – Organized advice on your Android for treating injuries
- Android Concussion – Guidance for identifying concussion symptoms using your Android
- iOS First Aid – First Aid advice for your iPhone or iPad
- iOS Concussion – Concussion guidance on your iPhone or iPad
There are lots of other roster apps and things like that for soccer. What have you found for soccer coaching help on your smartphone?

Husky Baseball 2003 Season Preview
Jan. 7, 2003
For the first time since the Pac-10 merged its Northern and Southern baseball divisions in 1999, the Washington baseball team enters a new season on the heels of an NCAA Regional appearance the year before.
Washington was mired in the midst of a disappointing season midway through the 2002 campaign, but turned its fortunes completely around in the second half, ending the year in third place in the powerful Pac-10 and earning a trip to an NCAA Regional in Rice.
The Huskies used a Jay Garthwaite three-run homer with two outs in the bottom of the ninth to force Rice into a second championship game, but ran out of gas in the finale. This year, the UW baseball team has its sites set higher.
'The big thing is that we have a lot of experience,' says Ken Knutson, who enters his 11th year as the Huskies' head coach in 2003. 'That's not so unusual. But we have a chance to play no entirely new starters at any position on a given day. We could run out nine guys that have started a lot during their career.
'That experience creates our nucleus on the mound and in the field. We had some very good players leave the program, but we have plenty of good players back. It's their time. They just need to step up into their roles.'
The Huskies received a welcomed surprise when righty Sean White decided to return for his senior season. White, one of the UW's top draft prospects in 2002, slipped to the later rounds after (seemingly unfounded) concerns about his arm. White didn't miss a start and won his last six decisions before another strong summer in the Cape Cod League.'Whitey was one of our key guys and his success paralleled the team's,' Coach Knutson says. 'He had a rough early period then caught fire down the stretch.'We didn't feel like we'd get him back. We felt that he was perhaps our top junior prospect last season. He should be one of the top pitchers in the conference.'
A second returning starter to the Husky rotation is junior Clay Johnson, who emerged as a reliable weekend starter late last season.
'Clay, like White, struggled early,' says Knutson, 'then he added a slider and that gave him an out pitch. After that, he pitched well and competed. He was outstanding in the regional.'
The third spot in the weekend rotation is technically still up for grabs, as are the fourth and fifth spots. However, junior Trevor Gibson, who has spent his first two years pitching exclusively out of the bullpen, emerged as the top candidate after an outstanding fall practice season.
'We felt really good about Gibson,' Knutson says. 'He had a rough 2002 due to some unusual injuries. Early on, though, he was a key bullpen guy. Now he'll need to compete for a starting position. He was our No. 1 guy last fall.'
Entering the season, Knutson has a long list of pitchers that could see time as starters or relievers. He hopes that performance and circumstance will sort things out shortly after the season begins.
Senior Scott Robertson, juniors Brian Carter, Jeff Petersen, Joel Villalobos, Trent Baysinger and sophomores Will Fenton, David Dowling and Josh Conover finished the fall as the coach's top choices for those early-season innings.
'Fenton will probably be a 'silver bullet' for me,' Knutson says of the right-hander fire-baller who finished as the teams' top reliever as a freshman in 2002. 'He's got a great arm and four good pitches. He has a chance to be one of the best arms we've had since I've been here. Last year, he was our top freshman contributor on the mound along with Dowling, but they're radically different pitchers.'
Dowling is a left-hander breaking ball specialist with excellent command who worked his way up the depth to start several games last year, including in the conference season. Carter, another southpaw, made a major jump last season and was a regular bullpen contributor.Petersen will look to make a jump up for his junior season. His stature and the velocity of his fastball make him a top prospect. Robertson, who relies on guile and the ability to throw a curve for a strike will look to return to the form that saw him emerge as the Husky closer in 2001.
Lefties Villalobos and Baysinger both come to Washington after successful junior college careers and should see plenty of action on the mound.
The right-handed Conover and freshmen Matt Kasser and Hunter Hughes, as well as left-hander Jamie Hawkins, will look to increase their innings. Conover's fastball has made strides and he added a slider in the off-season while Hawkins had an outstanding fall practice season. Kasser and Hughes were both top-level high school pitchers in the area last year.
Additionally, redshirt freshman Keaton Everitt, who underwent elbow surgery and missed last season, returns. Relatively inexperienced as a pitcher, the 6-foot-6, hard-throwing righty has tremendous upside and will look to develop this season.
'The best guys are going to pitch, period, 'Knutson explains. 'If you get guys out, you'll pitch. I'll let roles develop and the competition will take care of who gets innings. Guys will earn innings. That'll be based on history, the fall and then what they do in games. The first guys out there to begin the season will be those that pitched well last year and last fall.'
'We're as experienced and talented behind the plate as we can be,' Knutson says of his catching corps. 'We're kind of returning three starters there. It reminds me of the year ([1998] that we had Ryan Bundy, Pete Orgill and Dominic Woody [all future pros] at catcher.'
Sophomore Aaron Hathaway, forced into duty last season by the loss to injury of returning starter Jefferson Thiel, had as much to do with the Huskies' turnaround as anyone. His defensive skills improved to the point where he made the NCAA Regional all-tournament team despite going 1-for-17 at the plate in the regional. He was also a first-team Freshman All-American.
'Hathaway improved so much last year. He needed reps and experience and then he turned into a very good player,' Knutson says. 'Early on, his confidence was low defensively, but he came on. Now he's a defensive weapon behind the plate.'
Thiel, a redshirt junior, returns after undergoing 'Tommy John' surgery on his right elbow prior to last season. A former Freshman All-America pick, Thiel was the UW starter behind the plate in both 2000 and 2001.
'It's been a year since his surgery and we'll have to see how he feels,' Knutson says. 'The prognosis is that he'll be 100 percent in February. Before he got hurt, he was a great catch-and-throw guy and an offensive threat. We'll have to find a way to get him plenty of ABs.'
Junior Ben Johnson, who has made 31 starts at catcher over the last two years, brings a switch-hitting bat to the mix.
'Ben gives you a left-handed batting catcher as a switch hitter,' Knutson says. 'He missed the fall with a minor condition, but got the green light and is fine now.'
The Huskies return three quarters of their infield from last season in tact, thanks again to a pleasant surprise in the form of three-year starting shortstop Tila Reynolds.
Going around the horn, at first base, the Huskies welcome back sophomore Kyle Larsen, a Freshman All-America after batting .342 and going through his first college season without an error.
'Kyle is the best defender that we've ever had at first base,' Knutson says. 'He's what you're supposed to look like as a first baseman. And he can really hit.'
Last year, junior Greg Isaacson entered the lineup about a third of the way into the season and never lost his starting spot thanks to outstanding defense and a .315 average.
'Isaacson got the starting spot at second in the middle of the season and we ended up with one of the best defensive second basemen in the country playing every day,' Knutson says. 'He plays mistake-free baseball.'
Reynolds, who's started 158 career games at shortstop, decided not to sign a pro contract after getting drafted in the 13th round last season. He was the Huskies' leading hitter last year with his .347 average and is a top-level defensive player.
'Getting Tila back for his senior year was as big a pleasant surprise as I've ever had as a head coach. He'll have a huge senior year,' Knutson says. 'He's really a complete player. He can beat you in a lot of different ways.'With he and Greg having a year together under their belts,' he continues, 'they can be one of the top middle-infield combinations in the country.'
With the loss of three-year starting third baseman Michael Done, Washington will have one new starter in the infield, but junior John Otness has actually started 58 games over the last two seasons - at third, second and DH. He emerged as the starter after a battle with sophomore Nick Batkoski last fall.
'Otness was outstanding in the fall,' Knutson says. 'He's got the job heading into the season. He has the experience and he's worked very hard. He's been very productive when we've played him.'
The Huskies have plenty of able backups around the infield. Junior Steve Ramsey has shown a sweet swing in limited action as a first baseman, left fielder and DH. A similar player is freshman Grant Gerrard, except that the left-handed Gerrard may also pitch along with playing first and the outfield. Junior transfer Chad Boudon, who possesses as much raw power as anyone on the team, is also a first baseman and outfielder.
Batkoski will certainly get time at third and DH while transfer Brian Bauer, from San Diego State, can play all four spots.
'The guy that stood out in the fall was Brent Lillibridge,' Knutson says of his freshman shortstop, a likely starter there had Reynolds not returned. 'We have to get him on the field somehow. If he plays like he did in the fall, we'll have to. He can play anywhere on the field except catcher. He runs, catches it and can really hit.'
Four other true freshmen - Zach Clem, Curt Rindal, Josh Showers and Matt Tucker (Michael Done's younger brother) - will look to get time to develop as future Husky starters.
While it would seem that the loss of three-year starters Jay Garthwaite and Tyler Davidson would leave the Huskies looking for answers in the outfield, things are nearly as dire as they might seem.
Junior Mike Wagner, who moved from third base to left field last season, was a Summer All-American and his summer league's MVP after closing out the season as a semi-regular pick in left field. Sophomore Taylor Johnson closed out the year as the Huskies' regular right fielder and hopes his late-season successes will carry over to 2003.
'Mike and Taylor played very well in the fall and last year,' Knutson says. 'We think they both have the physique and the tools you want from good outfielders. Wagner had a big summer. He's starting to scratch that potential he has. You hope the summer success sets him up for a big junior year.
'Taylor is a complete package as an outfielder that can beat you with his legs, bat and arm. He's a No. 3-hitter candidate with Wagner, assuming that Larsen hits fourth.'
Center field is a little more open to question. The Huskies have two experienced players in seniors Brandon Jacobson and Justin Drake as well as a sophomore transfer in Devin Warner. Freshman Simi Reynolds, younger brother of Tila, will also get a fair shot at the starting role.
'Brandon has had some great stretches of productivity in his career here,' Knutson says. Plus, we have a good transfer in Devin Warner, who is physically very strong, has good tools and knows how to play.'Simi is probably our best defender out there. Either he or Drake is our fastest player. Simi has great instincts in center field and has everything you want from a defensive player.
Boudon, who could also play first and DH, adds power to the mix while freshman Nick Burnham is a fast, athletic player that will no doubt get a look at any of the three outfield spots. Isaiah Stanback, a scholarship freshman quarterback on the Husky football team, will play baseball this spring as well. The athletic center fielder will split time once spring football practice begins.
Knutson knows that things are set up for a good season in 2003, perhaps even a great season if things go well. All the pieces are in place. What's left is to roll out the ball, play the games and see what happens.
'We have to win while also developing our young players. But we also have to play our best guys,' Knutson says. 'That's the focus of our coaching. It's a juggling act - developing guys, keeping them sharp and keeping them happy.'
The Husky coach hopes that the tide of success in the last half of the 2002 season continues to roll into 2003.
'Confidence isn't something you can fake,' he says. 'You have to earn it. Until you've had success, you're going to have problems with how you see yourself. This group of veteran players now knows what it takes. They should have that confidence that success breeds.
'The key is that they remember what hard work it took to be good. We need to be proud, but there are more steps to be taken. There are bigger things out there than just going to the regionals - bigger things than finishing third in the conference - and this team is good enough to do better than that.'

Summer Home
It's been a while since I had much time for HGTV...I used to have it on every Saturday and Sunday morning while I ate breakfast and read through whatever new magazines were waiting for me. Those leisurely mornings are long gone...but luckily I can get caught up on some shows online, including my new favourite, Summer Home. Are you watching this?
Billy and I have long, long dreamed of owning a cottage. Kind of in the way we we dream of building a second storey on our house and winning the lottery. But, I still LOVE everything cottage related. It's the reason that I bought Adirondack chairs. I read my first non-Catcher Salinger novel at a cottage. Oh, memories.
Anyway, Summer Home is so much fun to watch. The host, Sam Pynn, is adorable and has a great sense of style. There are amazing ideas for decorating any home, especially for this time of year when everyone wants their house to be ready for summer.
And the transformations are great. Cottage before's are always pretty hilarious. There's always something covered in an afghan and there's ALWAYS knotty pine. Always.
If you're in Canada you can watch all episodes on the HGTV website. Love that.

Oh how I would love a cottage - I'd even just love to rent a cottage for a week. But I would never get M to go. He just doesn't see the point of packing up all your stuff, and food, and clothes just to go somewhere in the woods without tv or internet. Perhaps one day, when you get one, I can tag along. I'll be babysitter and cook??ReplyDelete
we downgraded our cable last year which means I don't get fun channels anymore - including HGTV - boo! hiss!ReplyDelete
But... I do share the same dream. I would ab.so.lutely love to own a cabin on some nearby lake. A place to spend Christmas Eves and long weekends, a place to ice fish and water ski.
One day my friend, one day.

The charity is encouraging as many people as possible to show their support for raising awareness of mouth cancer by making a small but powerful gesture: wearing a blue enamel badge. Speaking on the continued importance of the Blue Ribbon Appeal, Dr Nigel Carter OBE, Chief Executive of the Oral Health Foundation, said: "There are many ways that people can support Mouth Cancer Action Month this November. But wearing a blue ribbon is proof that the smallest gestures can make the biggest difference. "Mouth Cancer Action Month is all about saving lives through sharing key information that will lead to less cases each year and more early diagnoses. "By wearing a blue ribbon badge, we can prompt conversations about mouth cancer and encourage more people pay close attention to what's going on inside their mouths – something that one day could save their life." In the last few years, more than 250,000 Blue Ribbon Appeal Badges have been distributed to supporters; raising vital funds in aid of Mouth Cancer Action Month and helping mouth cancer messages to reach far and wide. "The badge also acts as a huge symbol of solidarity," Dr Carter adds. "We want to show we stand together against mouth cancer, in support of countless people who have been effected in some way by this terrible disease. "Wearing a Blue Ribbon Badge is such an easy way to show your support for the campaign and is so effective for raising awareness. "Your participation with the campaign can help us address the worryingly lack of awareness about mouth cancer and I would like to thank everyone who is planning to take part during November." Whether it's talking about the risk factors involved, the early warning signs or the benefits of early detection, all can make a difference in improving education around mouth cancer and ultimately saving lives. The Blue Ribbon Appeal Kit is available to purchase from £1 per badge, in the Oral Health Foundation online shop. Simply leave the collection box on your reception desk for patients to donate. We also encourage all staff members to wear a badge during the campaign – as it is a great way to show support as a team and to strike conversation with patients too! Once collected, please donate to us the money you have raised by visiting the Oral Health Foundation's website. Mouth Cancer Action Month runs throughout November and is organised by the Oral Health Foundation and sponsored by Simplyhealth Professionals. The charity campaign is aiming to raise awareness of the signs and symptoms of mouth cancer, to get more cases caught early enough to make a difference to the chances of survival. Mouth cancer can affect anyone. Everybody needs to be able to recognise and act on the early warning signs, to improve early diagnosis and help save lives which otherwise could be lost to this terrible disease. Find out more information about the signs, symptoms and causes of mouth cancer and how you can get involved in Mouth Cancer Action Month 2018 at www.mouthcancer.org.

Nigeria's second largest cement producer, Lafarge Africa is making efforts to run its plants on renewable energy in the next 5 years. Legal director of the company, Mrs Edith Onwuchekwa stated this during a tour of its Calabar factory by shareholders and investment analysts. She said the move was as a result of frequent disruptions in its gas supply due to militant attacks in the Niger Delta.
The switch to renewable energy however is part of a larger one by its parent company Lafarge Holcim and other global players. Lafarge Holcim in its sustainability report set a target of producing 50% of the energy required to run its plants from non fossil fuels by 2020. 30% of this proportion will be from bio mass. Lafarge Holcim is currently building a solar energy plant for its Rashadiya operations in Jordan. Cemex, a cement producer runs one of its cement plants in the Dominican republic on solar energy. Dalmia cement factory in India, also runs part of its operations using solar energy.
For the Calabar factory, the biomass will be sourced from palm kernels. Cross River is one of the 24 states in Nigeria where palm oil is farmed. Using biomass as a backup benefits not only the company, but owners of palm oil plantations that will supply the palm kernel. Additional staff may be employed for the processing of the palm oil. If the company is able to get the kernel in sufficient quantity and prices, it could decide to use biomass as its main source of energy. That will result in reduced cost, which translates to more profit.
Lafarge recently got approval from its shareholders to embark on a N140 billion rights issue. Proceeds of the offer will be used to pay down the company's dollar denominated debt. The parent company's share of the offer will be paid by converting its existing debt into equity. Shares of the company are up 28.82% year to date on the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE).

Hit The Road Jack (1960)
Ray Charles
Clocking in at exactly two minutes, "Hit The Road Jack" draws up the short course in how to make a Rock-N-Roll record. Among the vanguard of the second wave of pioneers, Ray Charles leads the attack with humor, aplomb and an infectious beat in his second #1 mainstream chart song (after "Georgia On My Mind"). It was his first song to hit the top slot on both the mainstream and the R&B charts.
Tighter music was never made:
The scene is simple enough. A ne'er-do-well man tries to slip back into his woman's good graces after dogging around. She wants no part of him, his lousy moneymaking abilities and his presumed propensity to spend his little bit of money on bad habits.
Vocal interplay between Charles and Margie Hendricks, one of the "Raelettes," his backing singers, is tight and practiced, the result of strenuous work sessions and close familiarity with the timeless story.
It didn't hurt that Ray and Margie were lovers and he refused to leave his wife for her. She's got his number and it's the wrong one:
Now baby, listen baby, don't ya treat me this-a way
Cause I'll be back on my feet some day
(Don't care if you do 'cause it's understood
you ain't got no money, you just ain't no good)
The pace of the song gallops. It's got a touch of Country swing in it; a little Rock-a-Billy; some fast-paced Blues and the smirk of a novelty song. A howling good horn section carries most of the action. A walking bass line snuggles in beautifully with not just the arrangement but with the sentiment, the bass telling the listener the singer surely is walking and walking after being thrown out.
Charles' voice is commanding, protesting and lamenting all at once. He has some of the greatest Rock/Blues pipes of the last 60 years. The band's playing is kept together in large part because his growling, barking voice demands that it toe the line.
The theme of "Hit The Road Jack" is an old one and can be found from the earliest rise of Ragtime, Country-Blues and dancehall ditties. The diversity of such songs is striking. "Won't You Come Home, Bill Bailey," by Hughie Cannon; "Tramp," sung by Otis Redding and Carla Thomas; as well as a freight car full of Country tunes about men (or women) turned out for drinkin', cheatin' or havin' no ready cash.
"Tramp" – Otis Redding and Carla Thomas
There's no deeper meaning to "Hit The Road Jack," just a lot of tartly overstated emotions and a guy hightailing it out of town.
It rocks with a vengeance – a course entitled R&R 101. Nothing advanced about it. Just flawless. Ray Charles is one of the Founding Fathers and this is part of the preamble to the constitution.
- Songwriter Percy Mayfield never quite made it big as a performer but he ground out a number of modest R&B hits. "Hit The Road Jack" is by far his biggest work in terms of chart success.
- Mayfield was disfigured in a disastrous auto accident that essentially ended his performing career. Charles recorded another Mayfield song, "At The Club," with much less fanfare than "Hit The Road Jack."
