Fats Waller performing "Your Feet's Too Big," from a short film, 1941.
Fats Waller is the center of one of the funniest—and most infamous—stories in jazz history. Here it is told by Nancy Caldwell Sorel in The Independent of London:
One evening Fats felt a revolver poked into his paunchy stomach. He found himself bullied into a black limousine, heard the driver ordered to East Cicero. Sweat pouring down his body, Fats foresaw a premature end to his career, but on arrival at a fancy saloon, he was merely pushed toward a piano and told to play. He played. Loudest in applause was a beefy man with an unmistakable scar: Al Capone was having a birthday, and he, Fats, was a present from "the boys".

Composer Thomas "Fats" Waller was born in New York City on May 21, 1904. The legendary pianist and conductor learned the organ at Abyssinian Baptist Church in New York City where his father was Pastor.
Waller began his career as a singer and pianist in night clubs and accompanied in various theatres as an organist. He also accompanied singer Bessie Smith. Leading and recording with his own band, Waller toured extensively throughout the United States and Europe.
While his chief collaborator was lyricist Andy Razaf, Waller also worked with Stanley Adams, George Marion, Jr. and Clarence Williams.
Primarily a popular song writer, Waller did write scores for Broadway musicals, including Keep Shufflin', Hot Chocolates and Early to Bed. He also composed several instrumental works such as "Minor Drag", "Harlem Fuss", "Handful of Keys", "Viper's Drag", "St. Louis Shuffle", "Numb Fumblin?" and "Valentine Stomp."
Highlights from the Waller song catalog include "Squeeze Me", "My Fate is in Your Hands", "I've Got a Feeling I'm Falling", "Honeysuckle Rose", "Blue Turning Gray Over You", "Zonky", "Willow Tree", "Ain't Misbehavin?", "Black and Blue", "Take it from Me", "Concentratin' On You", "You're My Ideal", "Rollin' Down the River", "Keepin' Out of Mischief Now", "The Joint is Jumpin?", "I'm Crazy "Bout My Baby", "There's a Man in My Life" and "Georgia Bo Bo".

This year marks Bill Charlap's ninth summer as artistic director of 92nd Street Y's Jazz in July summer festival. One of the world's premier jazz pianists, Mr. Charlap has performed with many leading artists of our time, ranging from Phil Woods and Tony Bennett to Gerry Mulligan and Wynton Marsalis. He is known for his interpretations of American popular songs and has recorded albums featuring the music of Hoagy Carmichael, Leonard Bernstein and George Gershwin. Time magazine wrote, "Bill Charlap approaches a song the way a lover approaches his beloved…no matter how imaginative or surprising his take on a song is, he invariably zeroes in on its essence."
In 1997, Mr. Charlap formed the Bill Charlap Trio with bassist Peter Washington and drummer Kenny Washington (no relation), now recognized as one of the leading groups in jazz. In 2000, he signed with Blue Note Records and has since received two Grammy nominations, for Somewhere: The Songs of Leonard Bernstein and The Bill Charlap Trio: Live at the Village Vanguard. The Trio performs all over the world; their New York engagements include regular appearances at Jazz at Lincoln Center, and they will return to the Village Vanguard for a two-week run this fall. In 2009, Mr. Charlap was pianist and musical director for The Blue Note 7, an all-star jazz septet celebrating the legacy of Blue Note Records on its 70th anniversary. The septet performed a 50-city tour and released the CD, Mosaic: A Celebration of Blue Note Records.
Mr. Charlap's experience as concert producer extends beyond Jazz in July. In the mid-1990s, he was the musical director of "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, A Celebration of Johnny Mercer," part of New York's JVC Jazz Festival. He has produced several concerts for Jazz at Lincoln Center and an evening of George Gershwin's music at the Hollywood Bowl.
Born in New York City, Mr. Charlap began playing the piano at age three. His father was Broadway composer Moose Charlap, whose credits include Peter Pan, and his mother is singer Sandy Stewart, who appeared on the Ed Sullivan and Perry Como shows and earned a Grammy nomination for her recording of "My Coloring Book." In 2006, Mr. Charlap and Ms. Stewart released the acclaimed CD, Love Is Here to Stay on Blue Note; their second release, Something to Remember, on Ghostlight, was released this past January. They have appeared at The Oak Room at the Algonquin Hotel and Feinstein's at the Regency and they have won New York Bistro and Nightlife awards. In February 2012, they appeared on the 92Y Jazz series.
Mr. Charlap is married to renowned jazz pianist Renee Rosnes. The two artists often collaborate in a duo piano setting. In 2010, Mr. Charlap and Ms. Rosnes made Double Portrait, released on the Blue Note label and recorded at 92nd Street Y.
Carol Woods has finished a run on Broadway, repeating the role of Matron Morton in Chicago. Among her other Broadway credits are One Mo' Time, the 2001 revival of Follies, Smokey Joe's Café, Stepping Out and The Goodbye Girl. In London, she received an Olivier nomination for Blues in the Night and had the title role in Ma Rainey's Black Bottom. As a nightclub and cabaret artist, Ms. Woods' appearances have spanned the globe, from London to Tokyo. In New York, she has appeared at The Village Gate, Michael's Pub, Town Hall and Carnegie Hall, where she appeared with the New York Pops and had her own show. Among her film credits is the Beatles–inspired film Across the Universe; she received a standing ovation for her performance of "Let It Be" at the 2008 Grammy Awards.
Making her Jazz in July debut, Anat Cohen tours the world with her quartet, headlining at the leading international festivals. During her European tour this March, she made her UK debut at Pizza Express Jazz in London, and last week she appeared at the Istanbul Jazz Festival and the North Sea Jazz Festival in Rotterdam. In the US, she has been voted Clarinetist of the Year seven years in a row and Multi-Reeds Player of the Year for the past two years by the Jazz Journalists Association. Ms. Cohen has appeared in the top clubs of New York and the US; in 2009 she was the first Israeli to headline at Village Vanguard, and she regularly collaborates with her hero Paquito D'Rivera. Last September Ms. Cohen released her sixth album, Claroscuro, on her own label. Her website is anatcohen.com.
Trumpeter/composer Randy Sandke has toured Europe more than 40 times and has performed extensively throughout Japan, North America, Brazil and India. He has recorded over 30 albums as a leader, and can be heard on hundreds more as a sideman, working with leading jazz and pop/rock artists ranging from Benny Goodman, Dick Hyman and Cab Calloway to Sting, Bette Midler and James Taylor. He played the on-stage trumpet solo in Fosse and can be heard on the soundtracks of The Cotton Club, Brighton Beach Memories and five Woody Allen films. As a composer, Mr. Sandke has received two NEA grants, and more than 90 of his works have been recorded; his Subway Ballet was played at the 2003 Jazz in July festival. He has written two books and numerous articles on jazz history. His website is randysandke.com.
Rossano Sportiello was born in Vigevano, Italy, and began studying classical piano. By age 16 he was playing jazz in Milan and two years later he joined one of Europe's best-known jazz bands, the Milano Jazz Gang. Now living in New York, he appears at leading venues and jazz festivals in the US and around the world. Since 2008, Mr. Sportiello has performed regularly with the Harry Allen Quartet. In the past year he and Mr. Allen have released CDs of Hoagy Carmichael and Johnny Burke songbooks. His award-winning discography also includes four solo piano CDs, one CD with the Rossano Sportiello Trio and three jazz CDs featuring classical music of Chopin, Liszt and Schubert. An active educator, this past May Mr. Sportiello served as "professor in residence" at St. John's College, Cambridge, UK. His website is rossanosportiello.com.
Grammy Award-winning bassist Todd Coolman was a member of the James Moody Quartet for 25 years and has performed and/or recorded with jazz legends including Horace Silver, Gerry Mulligan, Stan Getz, Benny Golson, Art Farmer, Tommy Flanagan, Lionel Hampton and Benny Goodman. He continues to be in demand as a sideman, performing with such artists as Jon Faddis and Renee Rosnes. He has released three CDs as a leader: Tomorrows, Lexicon and Perfect Strangers. Mr. Coolman is also a jazz educator who has written two books: The Bass Tradition and The Bottom Line. He serves on the faculty of the Conservatory of Music at Purchase College (SUNY), and in 2011, he was appointed Director of the Skidmore Jazz Institute. He is in demand as a clinician and lecturer throughout the world. His website is toddcoolman.org.
Born in Los Angeles, Willie Jones III was introduced to jazz by his father, the noted jazz pianist Willie Jones II. From 1998-2005, Mr. Jones was a member of Roy Hargrove's Quintet, and he has worked with Milt Jackson, Arturo Sandoval, Sonny Rollins, Herbie Hancock and others. In February he toured Europe with the Cedar Walton Quartet, and in May he returned to Europe with his own quartet. Jones can be heard on many recordings, including Kurt Elling's Grammy-nominated Night Moves and Eric Reed's Here. In 2000, Mr. Jones released his debut CD on his own label, WJ3, followed by two more volumes, plus WE 2, featuring trombonist Wycliffe Gordon and pianist Eric Reed.

Wednesday, February 06, 2002Johnson City, Tenn. (Feb. 6, 2002) - Senior Mimmie Dymling (Sollentuna, Sweden) had a career-best second-place finish, leading the East Tennessee State women's golf team to fifth place in the Florida International Championship from Miami, Fla. The Buccaneer women's golfers finished fifth (326-312-318=956) out of ten teams, continuing the momentum that the team had established after a great Fall season. Dymling played consistent golf in both days of the tournament, shooting matching 74's in the final two rounds after shooting a first-round 79. The senior was tied for the lead at the end of the final round, before falling in a playoff. Her previous best finish was third place in the Georgia State Lady Panther Intercollegiate on Oct. 29-30, 2001. "This is a great start to the Spring for our team," said ETSU second-year head coach Katie Weiss. "Mimmie (Dymling) played very well in this tournament and we will look to her for leadership this season." The Bucs will return to action on Mar. 11-12 from the East Carolina Spring Intercollegiate from Greenville, N.C.

In public access workshops, like TechShop, we are always looking for ways to improve our tool organization and storage so that items are easily found and stay in top working order.
Here is a simple, easy, and neat way to wrap up the cords for all your power tools without putting unnecessary stress on your cables or brain!
Nice box to keep them in ,too!
Clean workshop is a happy workshop.
Several commenters have claimed that coiling once introduces a 180º twist. In my cords, coiling once introduces a 360º twist.
Which is why I agree totally with the comments from pfred2. Electrical cords of any and all types should NEVER be tightly wound.
I have dropped many miles of electrical cables, microphone cords, speaker cables and others in and around, up and down more different types of locations then you can imagine.
Any sailor I caught tightly coiling anything was risking no liberty. The rule of thumb we used was you stretched a length of cable/wire the length of your reach arms outstretched, this was the size of the loop. Cables that got used a lot would typically have a length of rope secured to the cable that was used both to keep the cable coiled and as a means to hand the coil on a peg or hook.
As I pointed out above, every two coils in a cord leads to a 360° twist in the cord. This twisting (and consequent untwisting) is what strains the metal/plastic in the cord, and leads to its eventual failure. Most cords and cables are actually quite good at resisting damage from bending, and the strain reliefs at either end further protect against this damage. But they do not protect against the torsional forces that lead to elongation stretching, that DOES damage the cable or cord.
This is (one of a number of reasons) why well-trained sound technicians always counter-wrap expensive cords.
I do not have any thinner tools than my 4 inch grinder so I do not have to worry about any tension wrapping the cord around the tool. I cannot wait for the - how to wrap your extension cable.
Putting all of this together makes for some pretty good reasons to never treat tools like pros do! Not unless you have a pro budget to bankroll you that is.
Now to specifically address what I'm seeing here, if you bend a power cord in a tight radius like is pictured here, then leave it for some length of time, you're going to impart line memory to the cords fairly quickly. I'm not a big fan of wrinkled cords personally so I wrap my cords in loose natural loops, then tie them with little pieces of twisted wire, that I care much less about than my power tool cords. Any amount of bending a cord where it shows resistance is enough to stress the cord material.
Cords and cables mostly get strain damage as a result of end to end twisting, which happens as a consequence of coiling. Each coil introduces one half (180°) twist into a cable or cord) Using large loops helps minimize this, but NOT because it increases circumference (and radial angle) but rather because it minimizes end over end twisting. Coiling a cable or cord into 8 loops introduces 4 complete 360° twists along its length. Coiling the same cable or cord 20 times increases this to 10. Uncoiling the cable twists it back the other way. Coiling and uncoiling the cable or cord eventually leads to strain damage. On cables, this often takes the form or a break in the ground sheath at the cable, and on cords, it usually manifests itself as a break in the insulation at the strain relief end, which then progresses to actual damage to the cord itself.
Also, there is no such thing as "natural loops". Loops appear in cords as a result of them being stored in that configuration. Often this starts at manufacture, where the cord is shipped to the manufacturer on spools.
The only way to prevent this is to counter-wrap the cable or cord. Most well-trained sound techs learn this from early on, as audio cables are expensive, and they are trained from the beginning how to counter-wrap cords.
If there is not a counter wrap instructable, maybe someone should do one.
Most every time you find yourself using the overhand knot, ask yourself if you will ever want to untie that knot. If the answer is yes, the figure-8 is your knot.
Once you've put any kind of load on an overhand knot, it is nearly always there to stay. Even if you do get it untied, it is likely that you have severely weakened the cord/wire/cable/etc. by wrapping it a circle only slightly larger than it's diameter. An inside to outside radius ratio that guarantees high tension forces on the outside of the cord as well as high friction forces on the internal radius. Neither of those scenarios is good for the safety of something that transmits lethal forces.
That said, with careful handling of your power tools, I would consider using this idea in the absence of velcro ties. Certainly for power cords that don't have a weighted pendulum on the end.
Keep the ideas coming KaceyK!
I am forever untangling leads when other people have no clue how to coil them up correctly!

We're sorry, there are no episodes of "Suits" available to record on your "East Coast " lineup in the next 14 days.
In need of an associate, big-time Manhattan corporate lawyer Harvey Specter hires the only guy who impresses him -- college dropout Mike Ross. The fact that Ross isn't actually a lawyer isn't lost on Specter, who believes his new right-hand man is a legal prodigy with the book smarts of a Harvard law grad and the street smarts of a hustler. However, in order to keep their jobs, the charade must remain strictly between these two unconventional thinkers.

Gabriel Macht as Harvey Specter

Yes -- if it's not over already (losing to the Jets, Cardinals, and Titans-- all wretched football teams-- will do that).
Roethlisberger's injury is keeping us in if we can win tonight.
I'm pretty sure we are "done" already. All I really want to see at this point is our QB and offense evolve weekly, and evaluate the rest of the team.
Even when Big ben was out a couple years ago Charlie batch came in and led them to 3-1 record. They are not missing the playoffs.
We were done when we lost to team we should have beaten. mathematically still alive but thats about it.
steelers were gifted that kc game in the 4th quarter...gifted...from the bogus holding call on the td catch and run by bowe which was horrendous on the left tackle to the awful offensive pi call on moeaki on a big catch...had the chiefs been given credit for that td of bowes there's no way sorry leftwich could have lead that steelers team down for 6...b/t the last thursday night game colts/jags and that monday nighter the officiating has been as one sided and in the pocket of some teams as ever...
anyways bergers injury does keep us in things...that and the steelers play the ravens like two of the next 3 weeks...but losing today means our goose is cooked...losing last week to that awful titans team was as bad a loss as i can recall...worse than the ones when we knew we were gonna lose in years past...
hoops scoops 2012 season ..."in 2014 ryan tannehill etches his name in stone amongst the games elite qbs"..."ryan tannehill and andrew luck will carry the afc for the next decade plus the way peyton manning and tom brady have this last decade plus"
for the love of god get a real freaking mike already!!!
I want to see progress. Nothing of the sort last week.
You can't lose that game against the Colts and expect to be a playoff team. That's foolish. We not only ****ed up our playoff hopes but lowered the value of the draft pick traded. It was the ultimate "Dolphins" thing to do, really. Impossible to shoot yourself in the foot even worse.

Trauma Informed CareTreatment of Trauma by Behavioral Health Clinicians
Trauma Informed Care
Trauma-informed is a current national topic of interest. Most child welfare and treatment agencies and programs are looking at the topic and deciding how to implement best practices in this area.
Mid-Valley Behavioral Care Network (BCN), a Mental Health Organization in Oregon, initiated a workgroup which has charted new territory in trauma-informed care. The workgroup is made up of members of BCN, local County mental health agencies, Department of Human Services Child Welfare District 3, and Portland State University DHS staff trainers. There are three counties involved in the BCN Youth & Family Workgroup: Yamhill, Polk and Marion. Marion County is a large area, and membership is composed of the Clinical Supervisors for their Integrated Delivery System, including Catholic Community Services, Easter Seals Children's Therapy Center, Children's Behavioral Health, New Perspectives, Options Counseling Services, and Valley Mental Health. The workgroup will adapt the Guidelines over time in relationship to new research and changes in the field of trauma-informed supports and services.
As a BCN region, we are collaborating across agencies to establish Guidelines to ensure that Therapists, DHS Child Welfare Caseworkers and Caregivers are competent to serve individuals who have suffered trauma. The Guidelines set a common best practice and provide detailed skill expectations and training guidelines. This contributes to the quality of workforce development in the region. A primary goal of this project is to link children and youth who have suffered trauma to a competent clinician.Please click on the following link for a current list of providers, updated as of 12/11/2014, at each of our agencies that have been approved to treat Trauma in Children - provider listing.Please click on the following link for a current list of providers, updated as of 5/26/2015, at each of our agencies that have been approved to treat Trauma in Adults - provider listing.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: March 5, 2009
Sierra Club Unveils Photo Petition, Virtual Clean Car Show In Conjunction with EPA Hearing on California Waiver
Washington, D.C.—Sierra Club today unveiled the results of a new online effort demonstrating strong public support for the California Clean Car (Pavley) standards in conjunction with its testimony at a crucial Environmental Protection Agency hearing on the issue being held today. The hearing is part of the Obama Administration's review of the previous administration's unlawful denial of the Clean Air Act waiver that California needs to move forward with its clean car standards. In addition, Sierra Club launched a virtual clean car show.
"People across the country want EPA to know that they strongly support the right of California and other states to move forward with their efforts to dramatically lower the global warming emissions from our vehicles," said Ann Mesnikoff, Director of Sierra Club's Green Transportation Campaign. "Most of these concerned citizens couldn't be at today's hearing so we're delighted to bring their message to EPA virtually. President Obama and his administration, including EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson, have already demonstrated strong leadership on so many key issues and we are grateful that they are so eager to hear from the public on the California waiver issue."
Americans Agree: EPA Holds the Key to Clean Cars
In testimony at today's hearing, Sierra Club presented a photo petition from more than 1,000 Sierra Club members, student activists, and other concerned citizens from across the country. Each photo in the petition shows someone holding their own car keys to underscore the message that "EPA Holds the Key to Clean Cars." The individual images were then transformed into two photomosaics, including one depicting EPA's logo.
"EPA's decision on the California waiver really is the key to bringing us cleaner cars and revitalizing the American auto industry," said Mesnikoff. "Americans understand that President Obama is listening and they were eager for us to share their opinions with EPA today. These images are a vivid demonstration of how excited and engaged the public is on this and the many other issues where President Obama is moving to right the wrongs of the Bush years."
Virtual Clean Car Show Highlights Achievability of California Standards
The Sierra Club today also launched an online tool to show that a wide variety of cars, trucks, and SUVs, from both foreign and domestic automakers, already meet the standards California and more than a dozen other states are seeking to implement. Each vehicle featured in the virtual show currently meets the California standards. Featured models include:
"This virtual clean car show demonstrates that automakers already have the technology to reduce global warming emissions from our cars, trucks, and SUVs," said Jesse Prentice-Dunn, Sierra Club Green Transportation Program Associate Representative. "Even some of the biggest trucks made by American automakers already meet the standards for the current year and beyond. Implementing the California standards will not only help revitalize Detroit by making it more competitive, but will also make us more energy independent and fight global warming.
The virtual clean car show can be found at:

Itismehmmkay's Regimen Log
Posted 04 December 2012 - 03:17 PM
I'm going to start tonight. I actually already bought some of Dan's gel a few weeks ago, but at the time I was on a regimen of using that Proactiv mask, which I really like. I'm thinking of keeping it up for 1x a week still. Kinda like how Dan throws in glycolic acid (which my skin hates! It does wonders for exfoliating and removing marks, but my skin is just so sensitive to it and I start breaking out); that's how I'll throw in the sulfur.
Anyway. I think I'm going to try and use this 2x a day. I usually wouldn't use it during the day. Mostly b/c I'm almost always rushing out the door and don't have all that time for letting my skin dry and gentle application of the gel...then moisturizer. I'm thinking though that I can break it up in the morning and still do it.
Also, thinking of going back to liquid foundation. I usually wear Loreal powder...(which actually feels a lil wack). But at least with the liquid and some moisturizer, I won't look ashy while on the BP. Because actually that was one of the main reasons I wouldn't use it in the morning; it would make my makeup look funny.
So tonight I'll just do maybe 1/2 a pump. And in the morning I'll go ahead and do 1/2 a pump. And really. I'll probably just make sure I put some on before I leave the house and then just put on my moisturizer and makeup on at work (I already do that w/ the makeup anyway.)
Oh and I had forgot that I had a lil gallery of pics. I'll take some more tonight and keep up with my progress in the log. Here we go.
Posted 05 December 2012 - 10:02 AM
So last night I washed my face during my bath which I typically do. This helps make sure I get all my makeup off, especially along my jawline. It's just not the same if I wash at the sink. (I can wash over the sink in the mornings though). So in keeping with making sure my skin is dry, I actually waited until much later before applying the BP. Not necessarily on purpose, but I do quite a bit in the evenings and have recently started taking a lil nap/chill-out session in the bed once my son goes to sleep.
So after my nap is when I applied the BP. Then I added moisturizer before bed. And I typically don't use moisturizer at night, but am actually happy this regimen is pushing me to do so. I think moisturizing especially at night helps so much w/ the anti-aging process, which is something I need to start looking at. When applying the moisturizer, I put some around my eyes and mouth area first. Then used the rest along the rest of my face that had the BP. Just to make sure I don't get BP in those sensitive areas.
Then this morning, I washed my face over the sink, so just need about 5min for it to dry. May have ended up waiting 10-15 just b/c I was doing other things, but then later applied. Then when I got to work which is where I typically put on my makeup (I'm usually rushing out of the house to make sure I make my vanpool, so I don't have time to do extra stuff in the mirror). So before my makeup I applied the moisturizer and did the same thing; eyes and mouth first.
So one thing about my makeup, I'm going back to liquid foundation. And I'm mixing it with aloe vera gel...something I used to do back in the day. I'm realizing that the aloe was kind of like a primer for me. And then the liquid kinda helps make sure I don't have random dry patches compared to the powder. And this is especially important since I'm back using BP...and in the morning too. Also, if I use powder as my own foundation, I'm actually using the brush on my skin kinda vigorously b/c of the extra layers I have to put on for coverage.
Anyway, feeling good about it and so far so good

Posted 11 December 2012 - 07:58 AM
I am experiencing the whole initial BP experience w/ the redness, itchiness, irritation, but it's all good. I really do feel pretty optimistic that it's working. And I'm so happy that I've found a realistic/practical way to do it in the morning. In the past, the morning was always out of the question. Oh, also experiencing the dryness, but I'm doing pretty good w/ moisturizing really good.
Anyway. I'll post my pics in a minute.
Here they are. I had just put on some BP gel.
Posted 04 February 2013 - 12:47 PM
I'm still at it. I think around the Dec/Jan holidays I skipped a week or 2, but for the most part I've been pretty good. Oh and at one point I couldn't get my morning routine down. But I have to say that I have both the morning and evening pretty solid. The only thing is sometimes I apply it at night too late. I'll work on that.
One thing that has been helping me is applying both the gel and the moisturizer w/ a cotton ball. I know that's not in the regimen, but it helps me not obsessed as much about what is on my hands. I work with my hair alot in the morning and evening and I don't want any random oils on my skin. Same with lotions, etc. Also, this allows me to better monitor whether BP gets around my eyes or mouth. Usually I apply moisturizer to my eye and mouth area right before the BP and then after it has dried, w/ separate cotton ball for each. Then too, I apply my tinted foundation with two different cotton balls, one for the eye mouth area, another for the rest of my face that has BP on it.
So today is 2/4. I've done 12/4 - 1/4 and the 1/4 - 2/4. So that's 2 months down. And I can say that my skin is adjusted to the BP and I'm using the full dose. I can definitely see myself having completely clear skin, marks and all, within a total of 4mths. So that's 2/4 - 3/4 and then 3/4 - 4/4. So April 4th! I guess that's around Easter time? So as a timemark, my skin should be completely clear by Easter.
One big thing that I'm definitely excited about is not having to put on as much powder to cover up dark marks. I'll still wear makeup, just more emphasis on the tinted moisturizer (really just my shade of liquid foundation mixed with aloe vera gel).

Company Facts
Telit Company Profile
Telit Wireless Solutions is an enabler of the global machine-to-machine (m2m) movement. The company views m2m as the space intersected by the following three technology pillars
- Long-range cellular connection of devices to each-other and the Internet of Things (IoT);
- Short-to-long range license free wireless connection of devices to their peripherals, to each other, and to long-range gateways;
- Position awareness for all connected devices.
In fulfilling the role of enabler of this space, exclusively, and for over 12 years, the company advances its technology leadership from eight R&D centers around the globe. Furthermore Telit streamlines adoption and integration of long-range cellular technology by enhancing it with necessary services and end-to-end connectivity to transform the cellular m2m module from a component to a solution, connecting your assets to the enterprise systems they feed into. m2mAIR is the company's business unit delivering these value added services with wireless connectivity, cloud solutions and an intuitive, easy to use application enablement platform (AEP).
Telit delivers its extensive portfolio of cellular, short-range, and positioning products in over 80 countries. By making these products business scalable, interchangeable across families, technologies, and generations, and with high quality standards, Telit keeps development cycles short and cost optimized, protects customer design investments, and removes technology risk.
m2mAIR delivers effortless m2m service enablement with module, SIM, and subscription management tools and resources plus connectivity tailored for this space, adding business value through enhanced network performance, cost control, security, and troubleshooting. The deviceWISE powered AEP enables seamless and secure connectivity and integration of remote assets in the field with enterprise systems and databases in the back office. The platform reduces the risk, time-to-market, complexity and cost of deploying complete end-to-end M2M solutions for remote monitoring and control, industrial automation, asset tracking and field service operations across virtually all industries and market segments around the world.
Two solution Business Units integrate the Telit group.They were conceived to address fundamentally different business models of their target markets and to ensure the sharpest focus on their go-to-market. Telit Automotive Solutions with automotive-grade cellular modules, the ATOP on-board unit, and open software development platform; and Telit GNSS Solutions with award winning ready-to-use positioning receivers add value to the company's delivery model.
Telit envelops its offerings with customer support and design-in expertise from 35 sales and support offices, and a global distributor network of wireless experts in over 30 Telit-designated Competence Centers. The Technical Support Forum is a first-of-kind initiative where not only customers but the entire m2m community can exchange opinions and ideas.
Telit Wireless Solutions and m2mAÍR are brands of Telit Communications PLC (AIM: TCM).
Telit History
Two decades of experience across the globe have helped the company establish strong channels and unfettered access to key players in all major world markets. From its beginnings in 1986 as Telital and Telital automotive, an engineering company providing research and development services to multinational telecoms, Telit emerged as one of the leading names in innovative cellular technology. In 1997, the company began manufacturing and marketing products under the Telit brand. Since then, millions of cellular handsets and other mobile communications devices such as the first Globalstar satellite mobile phone have been supplied to users and operators worldwide.
Telit recognized early on the potential of cellular m2m solutions and launched its first m2m module called Datablock in 1998. Allowing real-time monitoring and control, minimizing or dispensing with human intervention, m2m is gaining significant market traction as it addresses the ever-increasing demands, e.g. in terms of speed, savings, safety, environmental protection, localization, remote control, accuracy and many others in the business world.
On March 1st 2011, Telit completed the acquisition of Motorola m2m from Motorola Israel Ltd., a subsidiary of Motorola Solutions Inc. The integration of Motorola m2m into the existing Telit business, mainly in Israel but also in the US, England and APAC, was fully and successfully completed during 2011.
On July 11th 2011, the company acquired GlobalConect Ltd. to establish a services business, with the goal of having recurring revenues. Thanks to this acquisition and the strategic partnership Telit entered in with Telefonica Espana S.A.U on February 22nd 2012 Telit is today the only company in the market that provides a value added services bundle including connectivity to its customers.
Navman Wireless OEM Solutions LP was acquired on January 3rd 2012 which strengthens Telit's position as the premier product and consultative partner in the m2m industry. The acquisition of Navman's technology and the engagement of its US based executive engineering and sales staff will make Telit a major contender in the GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) market while providing an enhanced product portfolio for its m2m customers and providing Telit access to new GPS customers and products beyond the traditional m2m industry.
At the beginning of 2013, Telit acquired CrossBridge Solutions expanding its m2mAir offering to small/medium m2m customers in the U.S. The acquired company has a long 22-year history in the North American market adding to Telit's 20+ years' experience in cellular hardware technology.
In September 2013, Telit acquired ILS Technology, a U.S.-based provider of cloud services and application enablement platform (AEP). The acquisition was another important step to continue building a company to offer end-to-end solutions to its customers.
In 2012 Telit added the value added and connectivity services to deliver essential connectivity solutions on the mobile network side of connected devices. With the ILS Technology acquisition its cloud-based services and AEP, Telit completes the set of solutions to provide customers a comprehensive Internet-side services offering including Application Enablement.
In April 2014, Telit concluded the acquisition of the Automotive Telematics On-board unit Platform (ATOP) business from Netherlands-based NXP Semiconductors (Nasdaq NXPI). With the conclusion, Telit Automotive Solutions was launched as a new business unit conceived to focus exclusively on the Automotive OEM and Tier-one markets.
Company Strategy
Having successfully integrated the most recent businesses acquired by Telit (Motorola m2m, GlobalConect and Navman) into the Company's global organization, and with significant market share, Telit is confident in its position as a leading global company in the m2m industry. The company is implementing now the next stage of its strategy which is to grow through a three-pronged approach:
- organically along with general growth in the m2m industry;
- via recurring income through our valued added services unit which will leverage the long-standing relationships with our customers and
- via appropriate acquisition opportunities to the extent that these become available.
m2m Is About Enabling - It Enables Other Segments And Applications
m2m is a technology that has evolved over the course of just a few years and yet has become indispensable for many industries. According to Beecham Research, the market had reached a volume of more than 50 billion US Dollar even by 2008. And the prospects for growth are excellent: In 2012, the market volume is set to rise five-fold to 250 billion US Dollar.
The chief value of m2m is to enable applications that allow businesses to enhance productivity and competitiveness through increased efficiencies, cost-savings, and improved levels of service.
- Connecting machines to other machines - e.g. remote production environments.
- Connecting machines to service centers - e.g. vehicles that automatically notify service centers of maintenance issues.
- Connecting service centers to machines - e.g. vending machines that report the stock status to a central inventory system.
- Connecting individuals or vehicles to machines - e.g. indicating their geographical position for enhanced personal security.
m2m applications can be found in a wide range of industries and sectors including vending machines, automated meter reading (AMR), point-of-sales (POS)-terminals, transport and logistics, pay-as-you-drive, telematics, healthcare, security technology and a wealth of other vertical segments.
A fair number of vendors presently offer m2m modules or industry-specific solutions. Additionally, the demands on m2m modules are steadily increasing - requiring substantial added versatility in use. The integration of complementary technologies such as GPS and ZigBee at module level is constantly gaining increasing importance while the demand for small and compact modules for terminals geared towards the consumer market are also steadily growing (e.g. vital-sign monitoring, localization and alerts for people with health conditions, and personal navigation).
Telit's Core Values:
Reliability, Quality and Customer Orientation
Telit Wireless Solutions is famous for its four core values that play a key role in ensuring the customer's success: business scalability, ease of integration, investment protection, and world class quality.
These key competencies are represented by a wide range of advantages and services that Telit offers to its customers. One example embodying these principles is the unique family concept which provides customers with maximum compatibility with all cellular wireless tec.
Telit's Unique Product Family Concept
Telit offers to its customers a form factor and family concept. The product families are tailored to different levels of integration and volumes according to application size and production scale. All modules of one family have the same size and shape, the same connectors and the same software interface so that that they can be integrated and exchanged easily into existing customer designs with only minimal adaptation. As a result, customers benefit from modules that can be used for years in their applications. They avoid additional development outlay and thus protect their previous development investments.
Cellular and Short-Range Solutions From a Single Source
In 2008, Telit made a strategic move from a "cellular M2M" solutions provider to a "wireless m2m" solutions provider, including both Satellite and Short Range RF technologies in its product offering. Being the only m2m supplier worldwide to offer all relevant wireless technologies in its product portfolio, Telit provides its customers with tailored single source solutions. The company develops, manufactures and markets a wide range of enterprise communication modules:
Cellular Technologies
- GSM/GPRS modules
- EDGE modules
- UMTS/WEDGE/HSPA/HSPA+ modules and datacards
- CDMA/EV-DO modules and datacards
- LTE modules and datacards
Satellite Technologies
- GPS-only
- GPS + Glonass
- GPS + Galileo
- GPS + Compass\Beidou
Short-Range Technologies
- ZigBee
- Short Range RF (proprietary mesh/point-to-point for unlicensed frequency bands)
- Short Range to GSM/GPRS
- Wireless MBus
- SIGFOX gateway
Telit's R&D Competence
Another plus for Telit customers is the access to a gamut of lab resources for testing their end products, preparing them for official certification procedures. As a former manufacturer of mobile telephones, Telit has extensive knowledge and equipment for preparation of virtually all common international testing procedures such as R&TTE/FCC, CE/UL and GCF/PTCRB. This increases the probability of a successful certification process, done right the first time. Telit's R&D centers are located in:
Trieste (Italy): Telit's Trieste R&D facility is the company's main engineering, design & development facility, and headquarters for the global R&D function. Trieste focuses its braintrust in the advancement of GSM, GPRS, EDGE, and GPS technologies.
A team focused on the automotive specific products has been created with the purpose of enhancing support and services for this market.
Cagliari (Italy): This R&D center is the primary competence center for other wireless technologies and special projects. This facility investigates short-range wireless, satellite, and other emerging technologies for integration into the corporate portfolio roadmap.
Seoul (Korea): Telit's APAC R&D center is located in Seoul, South Korea, and is the main development site for the company's CDMA, WCDMA, and UMTS projects. It is also Telit's center of competence for automotive specific products and rugged design technologies.
Tel Aviv (Israel): The acquisition of Motorola M2M enabled Telit to open a fifth R&D center located in Tel Aviv. The team in Israel supports the other centers worldwide in the cellular sector.
California (USA): Another R&D centre is located in Foothill Ranch, California, and is the main development site for the company's GPS/Glonass and Location projects.
Chicago (USA): Telit's sixth R&D Center is located in Chicago, Illinois. This team is responsible for product development for m2mAIR North America.
Boca Raton (USA): This is the world headquarter site for ILS Technology acquired in September 2013 and housing engineering and R&D in charge of advancing cloud technology and the company's application enablement platform (AEP).
All in all, customers benefit from minimized technical risk while at the same time enjoying a reduced total cost of ownership and time-to-market. Telit modules are priced to make them attractive for a wide variety of business cases. Every module addresses distinct application groups such as telematics, fleet management and AMR, security, POS, and others.
Caen/Leuven R&D Center (France/Belgium): Distributed between two R&D facilities of Telit acquired NXP-ATOP, Caen (France) and Leuven (Belgium) sites house 30+ engineers dedicated to the research and development effort for the company's Automotive Solutions business unit.
The Telit Technical Support Forum
Telit expanded its support service and launched the world's first open communication platform for m2m topics, the Telit Technical Support Forum. The forum was developed for Telit customers but also grants access to the entire m2m community. System integrators, developers and partner companies can exchange opinions and ideas amongst themselves and receive valuable assistance for their daily work, at any time, from the Telit technical support teams around the world. The support team consists of employees from Telit's four research and development centers in Trieste (Italy), Sardinia (Italy), and Seoul (Korea).
Unlike many of its competitors, Telit developed its own protocol stack both with GSM/GPRS and short-range network protocols. Telit has invested a total of over 400 man-years in the ongoing development of this software platform. As the sole proprietor of its module software, Telit can work with its customers to align modules with the requirements of individual applications or markets in the shortest possible time. The flexibility afforded by total control over the protocol stack, the most critical software component in the makeup of the module architecture, allows Telit to respond quickly to individual needs, while customers benefit from being able to quickly launch their products into their target markets.

Comments On Apr 27, 2012:...they are bulky. They don't fit very well on Honda XR rockers. If Motion Pro could reduce the thickness of the socket wall and build them with finer precision, I'd say they'd be a bargain at twice the price. As it stands, they work but if you're not very careful, they will butcher your nuts! I feel I paid $15 too much for the quality I received.

I've read a couple different things - one idea is that you have the same swing for all clubs. This really doesn't seem to work for me as whatever I'm doing with my short iron swing doesn't seem to translate to my long irons and woods. I've also read that you "swing down" with the short irons and "sweep" with the long irons and woods. This would help me understand why I'm struggling with the longer clubs if it's a different swing, but how do I make this adjustment? What are the easiest ways to think about this and adjust to this other kind of swing? Or do people feel that there really is only one swing?
I'd like to keep this more theoretical - is there one swing or two? If two, what are the differences and how do you make adjustments? The general discussion may help more people than just me. If it doesn't help me, I'll post a video for my own personal swing, but I have a feeling that it will.

The purpose of this circuit is to test NPN and PNP transistors and to identify their pin layouts, ie ECB, EBC. I find myself testing a lot of transistors to determine their pin layout and type and as such find that building the test circuit on a breadboard has become a hassle so I wanted an easy circuit that would be more permanent and would allow me to test transistors.
The transistor type NPN/PNP determines the polarity of the connections. The orientation of the transistor is the pin layout. I define the pin layout when looking at the top of the transistor with the flat side facing toward you. That is probably not the official way to classify them but it makes more sense to me when I am placing them in a circuit.
- EBC stands for Emitter Base Collector. When I use this acronym I am saying that the pin to the left is the emitter, the middle pin is the base, and the right pin is the collector.
- ECB similar to the above acronym stands for Emitter Collector Base. The emitter pin is again on the left but the middle pin is the collector and the right pin is the base.
I have gone through about 100 transistors that were pulled from old electronics and have never found any other orientations so i have found that there is no need to test for anything but these two orientations.
Simple But So Useful..Many Thanks!!!!!
Here you go! Let me know if there are any errors, I just threw it together today.
Google "Mouser Electronics", a well known electronics distributor. Go left to "Product Finder". Click on "Discrete Semiconductors" and then click on "Transistors Bipolar" and "Show Products". Select page 4 and look at left images 13 and 14 from top. The 6th column from left says "Data Sheet" (click to open)and you will see a TO 92 package (plastic) and TO 39 package (metal) respectively. Kind of confusing. The article deals only with plastic packages. When it comes to metal (TO39), my rule of thumb is that the lead physically closest to the metal tab is the Emmiter but I am not sure that this is always true.
1) There is a standard numbering system for IC sockets that avoids any possible confusion. It is based on the half circle notch (indent) in the plastic frame seen pointing downwards on the parts picture (shown under Step 1). (A) Place the socket in front of you so that the slots will be in two horizontal parallel rows. (B) Orient the socket so that the half circle notch is at your left. (C).Starting from the left on the lower row, the slots are 1, 2, 3, ...x. When you reach the end of the lower row, jump counter clock wise to the top row and continue numbering x+1, x+2,.. to the end. If you have to insert an IC, look at its top surface and you will see a tiny embossed circle (ususally) or some other mark. That mark must point the same way as the half circle notch.
Okay, ive stumbled upon a problem, i've only just started learning electronics and finding it extremely difficult !
But i'm tring to follow the exact specs as this transistor tester as to avoid any mistakes but im cnow confused to heck and back !
Problem 1:
- Very Early-on, the diagram showing the simple schematic of the NPN Transistor tester circuit shows the BASE of the NPN being connected to the 10K resistor but in all the photo's the BASE of the NPN transistor (bottom-right test circuit on prototype-board looking at it from non-solder-side!) is connected to the 470 OHM Resistor.
PLEASE please please can anyone confirm why this is ?
Problem 2:
On the same circuit (bottom-right test circuit on prototype-board looking at it from non-solder-side!) the LED's 'Notch' {meaning the Cathode} is facing upwards... No matter how i orient the LED on my setup {using the same components, no substitutes!} instructions say 'Make sure the Anode is connected to the resistor' but how can this be possible for the LED's Notch facing up ? I really cant make head-nor-tail of this...
Please help as this is an excellent learner project for me and i have many transistors to test, lol, but go easy on me, Learner-Here, lol x2!
Many thanks in advance for the help with what will seem like child's-play to you folk, but rocket-science to me !
Problem 1:
From the simple test schematic I have the base of all the transistors are connected to the 10K resistor. In this schematic the base pin is always drawn as the middle of the three transistor pins. No when we go to real life components the pin layout is not the same. For the bottom right transistor the pin layout from left to right is; Emitter, Collector, Base. So the base moves from the middle pin to the right pin.
Problem 2:
The picture in step 6 appears to be playing tricks on my eyes. It looks like the bottom right LED has a flat facing up. I am sure this is not the case. Just make sure to place you LED with the correct polarity. I like to use a button cell to quickly check the polarity of LEDs before placing them, I never trust the makings on any of the LEDs I pull from old electronics.
Obviously your circuit works as others have made it too and even made some changes but because ive only just started learning electronics this year its playing havoc with my old brain trying to learn new tricks, lol !
I'll be resuming this project over the weekend and am quite determined to make an enclosure for it as well because of the great practical use of this very important circuit !!!
Once again many thanks for your kind patience with assisting a complete noob and making it a few good steps closer for me to make this awesome circuit !!!
Also i have a bunch of rechargeable LIR 2032 Coin Cells to finally start making use of them !!
Thanks so much and Keep making your instructables with extremely outstanding high-res pictures !!! (2mb per pic - nicely done !!!)
!!! "A Simple Yet VERY Effective Piece of Work" !!!
Long story short I was never able to figure out how to make this method work. I am not sure if it is even possible to do but my simple understanding of circuity prevented me from going any further.
It's well written and very easy to follow.
I made a transistor tester that uses four socket pins to test both EBC and ECB.
the leftmost three pins (see pic) test transistors to see if they are EBC. To test your transistors to see if they are ECB, simply rotate the transistor 180 degrees and move the transistor to the rightmost pins (see pic).
I would have used a battery almost identical to yours, but I didn't have any button cells that weren't dead.
That is my version of your transistor tester! XD
First the circut would have to be altered, the IC sockets would need to be on a separate smaller board so that I could place then on the underside of the box lid while having them stick out of cut outs through the top. I have tactile switches with longer buttons so I could leave them as they are and build some wooden pegs on the box lid to press them. Also the LEDs would need to be extended.
By skiping an enclosure I was able to simplify the circuit and keep the tester in as small a package as I could solder. I have these flat plastic organizers that I place all my components in and as an added bonus this tester is just small enough to fit in one of the compartments next to my transistors.
That being said, I'd like to see one for Flame Emitting *ahem* ... I mean, Field Effect Transistors... slip of the metaphorical tongue...
"- ECB stands for Emitter Collector Base. When I use this acronym I am saying that the pin to the left is the emitter, the middle pin is the base, and the right pin is the collector.
- EBC similar to the above acronym stands for Emitter Base Collector. The emitter pin is again on the left but the middle pin is the collector and the right pin is the base. "
But a great project!

1/2 cup
butter, softened

grated Parmesan cheese
2 cloves
garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon
dried marjoram
1/4 teaspoon
dried basil
1/4 teaspoon
fines herbs
1/4 teaspoon
dried oregano
ground black pepper to taste
1/4 teaspoon
dried parsley, or to taste
1 loaf
unsliced Italian bread
Delicious! This is definitely enough spread for a large loaf of Italian bread. I just eyeballed the amounts of spices and added a little extra garlic and oregano, a splash of olive oil to make it spread nicer and left out the Parmesan cheese (personal preference). I baked mine at a slightly higher oven temperature (400) and then proceeded to get it nice and crispy under the broiler.
This was only ok for us. We didn't care for the marjoram and fines herbs.

This was great! My husband loves the store-made garlic spread that you can buy in most grocery store bakery departments. This was absolutely the one. He was beyond thrilled. I did use day-old baguettes that I bought off the discount bread shelf as I'm tight on money for a while. I swear, this could make shoe leather taste good. ;)
This is exactly how I used to make the garlic bread at a grocery store I used to work at. The only difference is the only dry herb we used was parsley, we didn't add the italian herbs, so it had a more mild taste and went with more meals. In the end we would sprinkle on some "paprika" for a little bit of red color and then wrap each half for sale. It makes garlic bread similar to the ones you get at the grocery store deli, and I even think it tastes a little like the frozen ones, but the ingredients are more natural and it is cheaper to make.
Great spread, lots of flavor. Much less mess than sprinkling the seasoning over the top. Thanks this was perfect with our spaghetti supper.
My husband is not real fond of bread, but he ate 2 pieces pieces!!!! I did change it up a bit, I used italian seasoning instead of the Fines, marjorum, basil, oregano & parsley. I also used French Bread and sprinkled a small amount of sharp cheddar to the top before baking, it came out great!!!
This was an absolute winner at the recent bbq i had with a group of friends. i followed the recipe almost exactly, though i played around with the herbs since i didn't have everthing on hand. Then since there was no toaster at the bbq, i applied the spread on slices of baguette, wrapped them individually with aluminium foil, and tossed them on the bbq grill for 5 minutes. they came out toasty and warm and cheesy, and people couldn't stop raving about it. An absolute keeper!
I'll try another recipe.
