Thanks for this website, it's an awesome resource for an aspiring jazz guitarist. I'm rooted in rock playing and I've recently been getting into players like Tom Quayle and Guthrie and your lessons are shedding light into how they approach getting their sound :D
He,Matt! Thx again for all the free stuff. Great site, man.

Thanks Matt

Thanks Lawrie, been great getting to know you and your playing, thanks again!
Congrats Matt!
Matt – am working my way (slowly) through your book and find it easy to understand and full of good sense. Now all I have to do is find more hours in the day to practise.
Keep up the good work!
Long may you continue!

I mainly play blues but after watching your videos I try and incorporate some jazz licks in to my playing. Hopefully I'll get there one day,it's great fun learning. Cheers Matt.
Thanks for checking out my jazz guitar lessons and for entering the contest. Good luck man!
In the high and far off days, guitarists were very protective of what they did, reluctant to share the simplest lick unless they were certain that the player they were talking to couldn't play it! This still holds true of Flamenco players in Spain. But the Internet mercifully changed most of that, the Internet and the way it was used by players like Matthew Warnock who freely share their knowledge and experience. As a result, playing standards are higher all round and everybody wins. And that's what music, jazz and the guitar should be all about. Long may it continue and every success to Matt and others like him.
Thanks for all the well explained lessons Matt!
I love the way you manage to make everything seem so simple and always place the music above the conept. Jazz teachers I have had in the past really took the enjoyment out of playing jazz for me due to their textbook thinking and lack of musical expression.
Look forward to more great lessons.
Matt, I respect you very much since you sent me your guitar chord solo Insensitive few years ago, and I always look forward to another newspaper of you, to enjoy the fine set out educational material once again. Thank you very much.

I am a 62 year old who has loved jazz since I was 16, and only recently decided to take up jazz guitar. So as a relative beginner I have found your site, videos and teaching methods a real incentive to carry on. Keep up the good work.
Great site Matt, thanks and keep up the good work.
New kid on the block who stumbled upon your site. Jazz guitar continues to elude me; however, your site has begun shedding some light on the gaps in my understanding of the Jazz Guitarist.
Thank you!

Well done on your successful 1st year and I am looking forward to continuing with your lessons
Congratulations on reaching the two year point with your website. Thanks for all the brilliant lesson material you provide on your site and in eBook format. I'm particularly pleased to see that you're gradually making your apps available in desktop format for those of us without iPads/iPhones or Android devices. It's been really frustrating not to have been able to take advantage of these tools so far. Keep up the great work! Julian
Thank you Matt for the wealth of valuable info you make available here!
The number of followers must mean something, Matt!
Enjoying your lessons in my 60's. wish you had been here in my 20's:-)

Hey do you have any "trips to Vegas" in you prize collection??
I'll settle for one of you books. They are interesting and informative, but nothing beats Vegas.
Is that London England time or some London here in the states?
Have a great day, Matthew!!
Hi Matt First thing I look for when checking mail is news from you. Very informative and interesting. Tks very much
Matt, thank for all of the great instruction. Your site is great and has been so helpful.
I was looking for Jazz lessons and happened upon your sight. I followed it and I am glad I did , it gave me something to work with and I thank you.
Thank you for this fresh approach to teaching jazz guitar. I have long dabbled in jazz guitar, but have always had trouble setting up a consistent approach that a hobbyist can use. As a retired high school teacher, I love to see an approach to teaching that reaches all levels of player. Congratulations on a job well done!
Matt, I've been playing guitar for over 50 years, both classical and jazz, and you've managed to make things fresh. I applaud your innovation for using social media to reach that "hidden jazz market" that everyone wishes they could find. Good luck in all you do.
Love your lessons! Thanks for sharing and for having the drawing. I hope I win something!
Thanks, Matt, your free lessons are a great help to my sl0-0-ow learning of the guitar!
Great to see that this past two years as been successful, Matt ! For me, being able to focus on learning Jazz, even guitar, on a specific subject works. Thus, your method does just that , thanks and may the next year be as progressive.
Great stuff Matt… I've been following you for a while here, on Facebook and on You Tube. I like your approach and calm, easy demeanour. I've learned something new each time I've checked out a lesson.
Thank you for everything that youhave put on this site.
Thank you for your continued efforts. I look forward to your newsletter and updates.
Count me in. I need any help I can get. Thanks.
Thanks very much for great resources and consistent newsletters ~ excellent!
Matt thanks I check your site often , & on youtube , & I have your 2-5-1 app & 101 Licks ipad app … both great …cheers John C
I've been following you for a while and have learned a lot. Thanks! The idea of the contest is great…
I've thoroughly enjoyed your posts on FB. I've learned a great deal through your lessons. Keep up the great work?
Many thanks,
Michael Mangaroo
Thank you so much for spending so much time freely sharing your wealth of jazz knowledge with us. Your lessons have helped add focus and purpose to my practice routine, and the 2-5-1 chord generator app has been invaluable. Thanks again for doing what you do!
Just spend an enjoyable 3-4 hours (or was it – oops! – 4-5 hours?!) getting some of your 101 jazz licks from the app under my fingers. I'm learning a great deal along the way. Thanks – and keep up the great work!
Thanks for your help, Matt!
Great lessons. Good job at explaining the theory behind some great sounding jazz ideas.
There are some people who seem to think I have some level of guitar skill. They actually call me "guitarist." I am a picker at best.
I tell them all, if you want to "get jazzy with it" go see Matt!
Great source of material Mr Warnock. Keep it coming!
Thank you for all you have taught us so far, you're a great teacher!!!
Thank you Matt, your generosity is appreciated by a lot of people!
If you build it, they will come… All the best Matt, and here's to the next 3000…

Great stuff
Matt, Thanks for your articles. You are rapidly becoming the goto place for checking on what do I do questions, like what do I do with dim7 soloing. I am slowly working my way through your articles. Keep em coming.
I enjoy your lessons and am making good use of your ebook. Great work Matt.
Good to see everything is fireing on all cylinders. Yours is one of the best stes around for those wanting to learn jazz and serious guitar playing. I always point players to yourmaterials as part of their development. You do the higher level teaching I rarely get to do as a guitar and bass teacher – mine is 80% beginners and young players.
Matt, First of all congratulations on your two year anniversary. I have followed your on – line lessons since you started. They are well written, easy to understand and I greatly appreciate all your, almost immediate responses to my questions. Thank you very much and please continue for many more years.

Love your site and the lessons, Matt. The ebook is amazing.
Thanks for de-mystifying some fairly complex subjects.
mike (firstname.lastname@example.com)
Of all the guitar web site out there on the internet I find yours to be outstanding. Very clear direction. Keep up the good work. My only wish is that you lived close to me so I could go see you play in person
Big fan of your YouTube videos; love the way you generously teach and provide PDFs to expedite learning! Huge thanks!
A treasure of information for vibes players also. I have so much stuff to work on.
Congratulations, Matt. Your generous gifts are much appreciated. Your 15 minute practice routine is a great idea, and right on target for many of us.
I regret that this terrific resource was not available ab0ut 10 years ago when I started to study jazz guitar. A lot of time was wasted with material that was of little use.
Your jazz instruction is a invaluable service to the jazz guitar commnunity.
Thank you
Thanks Matt for all your lessons and inspiration!
Let's try it.
I wish to win Modern Time… :)

Great lessons, Matt! As a retired high school teacher, I can really appreciate the thought and organizational skills you bring to the presentation of your course materials. Well done!
Learned a lot from you already. Keep up the great work.

Thanks Matt for all you have been doing for us, poor beginners, who want to take their skills one step further.

I have wanted to add jazz techniques to my guitar playing and this is a great site! Thanks Matt

Congratulations on your anniversary and thanks for your contribution to musicians who want to study Jazz.
I have the apps. I hope to win a book or lesson!
I've enjoyed learning jazz guitar from you. You have made it enjoyable and easy to understand. You have freed my from my prior intimidation to perform. I can't wait until my shoulder is healed so that I can begin to play again. I'll keep you posted. Take care.
Well done, Matt!
Well deserved too. Not only am I improving my knowledge of jazz theory, but learning to teach too. Keep up the great work!
Happy anniversary and keep up the good work. Everyone can learn something from your lessons.
I like your lessons. I'm curious, is be-bop popular where you live? It isn't where I live in California–though I think it its enjoyable in small doses. Thanks for the lessons–excellent work!
Thanks for all that you give!
Thanks for all the great content!
love the efficient lessons!
Thanks for all the interessting articles!
Thanks for everything Matt, and congrats on your 2 year anniversary
I always enjoy your lessons, clear and easy to understand
Lovely knowledges and informations, thank you.
I have found your lesson material excellent and well presented
Passing on your expertise is greatly appreciated. How you find the time I do not know.
excellent resources
Your bite-sized lessons and straightforward presentation reminds me of Kahn Academy. I find them valuable, thanks.
I really appreciate the fact that you put up free lessons. Over th eyears, I've purchased many "Hot To" Guitar books that looked good in the store, bue whne you get them home and actually start working through them, they are a lot less than they seem.
You obviously have a loyt of confidence in your teaching materials to give "free samples". And that confidence appears well justified.
Hi Matt,greetings from New Zealand,thankyou for your great lessons which when mastered sound like real jazz rather than just another exercise.Cheers ,Christopher Durney.
Great Site, Happy Anniversary, Keep up the great work.
Hey Matt, I think jazz guitar is so awesome and I really like to listen it and see it…..but man, you really make it play very easy and with a lot of fun. Thank to you so much.
Great idea for a marketing campaign! I really enjoy your site!
Have really enjoyed the e-mail lessons and tips on Jazz Guitar playing,Thanks again for a really great site
A very generous offer by you :)
Hi Matt,
Thanks for all your clear explanations and practical exercises. I especially appreciate your postings on drop 2 inversions and bebop eclosures which I'm trying to integrate into my daily practice. At the moment I'm experimenting with the first of your George Benson licks just about everywhere – and there's so much more…
Matt, you're one of a kind for giving us so much of your time and musical knowledge. And now you're doing a giveaway for us too!?!?! You're too kind and I wish there were more people like you.
I'm sure I can spreak for all of us when I say "Thank you" with the utmost sincerity. Keep on rockin!
Hi Matt,
I have played guitar for a number of years and have just started to take an interest in jazz guitar.
You have the knack of making things simple. Keep up the good work.
Hey Matt, thanks for generously sharing your expertise and knowledge. I've really learned so much from your news letters and tutorials. Nice work on the 2-5-1 app too, an excellent resource that I'm using often. Cheers.
Thanks for a site and newsletter that provide valuable help for guitarists, not just a come-on to buy something. Congrats on your anniversary!
You are a great jazz guitar instructor. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for great site man!
I've always wanted to learn to play jazz guitar. I've been following you for probably a year now. I listen to all of your lessons, and have been working to incorporate them into my rock/pop/whatever fingerstyle playing. Thans for the great job – keep it up!
Hi Matt , I enjoy your newsletter. I recently picked up the 251 app for my phone . I'm having fun learning and it's handy to get theory in just waiting in a doctor's office on the train or wherever. Thank you and keep up the good work!
I would like to learn more swing style
Love yr site Matt. Please keep it going!
Hi Matt… Thanks for all the great lessons on your site! :)

Hey man, i've learnt a lot from your vids! Thanks very much for keeping them coming
always look forward to adding to my knowledge of the guitar, Thanks Matt!
Have been playing since I was 11 am now 60 arthritis makes chords difficult but your explanation of 3 and 4 note chords together with solo improvisation has motivated me once again to create my own jazz interpretations of songs. Many thanks for your unbeknown guidance. Cheers!!
I enjoy every little bit of your lessons and tips.
Your site inspiring and very motivating!
Matt, congrats on coming into your second year, many more to come, I'm enjoying your newsletter. Thanks
Jazz comping & fusion
Can't tell you how clearly your lessons make the theory part of guitar seem. Play this, play that, sound tracks; all get connected in my 65 year old brain and make me and my old Guild T50 sound great!! (In my mind)
Thanks for your interest in us, the "Maybe Someday" players. You keep us in the learning loop. You're to be applauded!!
No Changes!
Really Enjoy your site and your posts. You are an inspiration to us all! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and talent with us all.

The best website for jazz guitar especially enjoyed your daily work up to playing with the students at University.
Thanks for providing this great resource.
Thanks for the great site!
I have been enjoying your weekly newsletter for the last two years. Thanks for sharing so much information about playing jazz guitar. I especially enjoyed the Christmas songs this year. I downloaded them last year too; but this year I was actually able to get through the chord changes in half time and sometimes up to speed. I just wish I had enough extra time to devote to the guitar,
Matt, your website has been a wealth of knowledge for me, I really appreciate all the hard work you put into it. Looking forward to future lessons.
Thank you Matt for all the amazing lessons you have done. Keep up the great work you are doing in the world of jazz guitar. You have been a tremendous help for me in jazz guitar.

cheers bjh
PS: still learning at your 30-days-to-get-a-better-guitarist-stuff, it seems it is instead a 30-MONTH-lecture……
Always enjoy your newsletters and lessons. Thank you.
Looking to learn more about jazz guitar. I have been using your tips for only a short while now, but want more!!!
I would like to enter the giveaway. Enjoy your lessons.
I'm relatively new to to Jazz (and Blues) and this be the place for me. I look forward this journey:)

Thanks for all you do, Matt. You are a wonderful teacher.
I would like to enter the competition, my teacher said you were attending an RGT meeting of some kind, small world.
I would like to win – thanks for the jazz stuff
I really like your newsletters they are simple and shows how to integrate those ideas in our own vocabulary. I bought 2-5-1 and 101 licks and it helps to challange myself trying to play something that is not my reflexes! Great teaching qualities and good work Matt.
You have created a tremendous resource for any aspiring jazz guitarist. Thank you!
Great pages. I wish you more readers and followers.
Keep up with the good work!
This sounds good.
Thank you for all of the insight!
thank you for your great effort on giving free lessons for everyone! :)
Tanks for shering, I realy like your lessons!
Really glad talented folks out there are showing us the way to musical enlightenment. carry on the crusade
I remember when my teacher thomas clippert sent me to this site to check out your 2-5-1 exercises
and are you ever coming to the states anytime soon
my email is
Thanks for the great site. I found you by way of Dan Koentopp in Chicago who's building me an archtop. I saw that you play one of his guitars as well.
Trying to get into jazz guitar for a while, I bumped into your site and got stuck in it…. You have very good lessons there, and I have already got myself your e-book intitled 30 days to play better Jazz and hope to get some more in the next future. Bravo and if you intend to realease a course covering the work of Tal Farlow, George Benson, Pat Martino, etc, all these players covering Jazz Blues (especially organ trio) let me know…
Matt – congratulations on the website – great resource & great approach to teaching
Thanks Matt I can always find a new idea on your site. Ken
Ever since I discovered your site, my interest in playing jazz guitar has been rejuvenated. There is so much to learn and your style makes it easier and fun to do. Thank you Matt.
Great work!! I appreciate all of your efforts to get the jazz language out there. I look forward to all of your emails. I hope you keep up the good work.
Matt – it should be us thanking you!
I would love to win one of these prizes! I love jazz guitar, just starting out with it and need some solid teaching.
Hi Matt, thanks for the page and for all the knowledge that you always share with us.
Thanks Matt!!!
Great sites inspiring and encouraging ….thanks again
This is wonderful. I'm looking forward to learning more! Many thanks.
Great site, I found lots of helpful jazz practices here!
Had been hitting brick walls on my practice hope this can help. Thx.
I am thankful for your website. The information has been very "instrumental" in my development.
Matt, I can't believe how hard you work at this. I'm also incredibly impressed by the quality of your materials. I've been playing various styles of guitar music for over 40 years. I have also been a guitar teacher for nearly that long. Jazz was (is) the final frontier for me. Your web site has been a great help as I try to sort out what to practice and how to use what I've learned to make better music. I have also been really impressed with the way you present jazz concepts. You've been a huge help to me as a player, and also as a teacher. Thank you for all you've done to help us out. Blessings.
After quite a few years of playing it amazing how much just a few weeks of practice using the tips on your website have improved my playing and understanding of jazz guitar. Also the 251 Chords app is excellent. Cheers.
Congratulations, Matt!
I just found your website a couple of days ago but I am already enjoying it very much and planning to have a couple of skype lessons with you soon :)
Here's for many more, cheers!
I know I will not win any prize (never did, never will) but thank you because my guitar playing is improving, thanks to my guitar
& music teacher here in Bangkok, and thanks to you Matt. Your lessons have been very very useful. Thanks, your work is a really appreciated
Thank you for your easy-to-follow lessons!
Your newsletter is about the only thing worth reading in my inbox. And worth reading every time. Great lessons and at the best price I've ever paid or charged for lessons. Thank you much
i enjoy the lessons and your site.
Good education blog for me :)
Thanks Matt. I can use all the help I can get!
I love Jazz. Am learning guitar and I'd so love to be able to play Jazz Guitar. This site is great, thanks!
This is a great site, I really thanks you Matt for share your knowledge with us. Long live to Jazz!
Always enjoy your lessons. Thanks
Thanx for all the well written transcriptions. Fun to read.
Awesome site man! Just what I've been looking for! Clear and concise very informative!! Thank You!
Love the lessons, Matt!
Your site has helped me a lot! Happy anniversary and thanks!
I've learned so much from your material in the last little while, Matt, but there's certainly (overwhelmingly!) more. Yet I look forward to coming to your site on a regular basis to continue the life-long journey in playing jazz guitar. Best wishes and thanks!
Your web site is a great avenue into Jazz which is a new genre for me. Thanks Matt and keep the good work up
Best jazz resource on the Internet .
Thanks Matt, and congratulations.
Dear Matt,
Thanks for sharing your wisdom! I learned a long time ago that teaching is the true learning and that all the I'm-better-than-you-nonsense is just that, nonsense. When we share we all are elevated and become more.
All the best!
I love exploring these lessons – Matt Warnock has made jazz guitar digestible and fun!!!
congratulations on your success!
My emails have been undeliverable for some reason, so I am using the "reply" link on one of your replies to someone else…sorry, but your other links for the contest do not seem to work (?). I also "Liked" your FB page.
Thanks again for all your great lessons and congratulations of your success.
even though i'm playing rythm guitar for more then 50 years i'm still Learning somethings on your site.Thanks and excuse my poor English.
Thanks for many interesting ideas, and especially for turning me on to Lenny Breau!!
Hey Matt, I've been coming to your site for over a year now and I'm always impressed by the amount of fresh, useful content you put online. Keep up the good work!
thank you matt your web site and e-mails teach the fundamentals of playing jazz guitar all the way thru the advanced/professional level.there is so much to learn in jazz music and you always have the answers.if you want know how to play jazz guitar inside out,upside down,backwards and fowards this is the place to be.
Hi Matt, Thanks for the work you put into all this teaching. You're certainly a great resource. I'm a newbie to jazz and looking forward to many years of discovery
I'm ready to take my playing to the next level!
Matt, I need some help! Just playing some wrong notes isn't doing it for me!
I feel it would be a great pleasure to further my learning of music. I find that jazz is the most desirable and expressive forms of music.
Matt, you are a great instructor and inspiration. Thank you for all your work and help!
Happy anniversary Matt, the lessons are always fun and interesting. As an entering jazz student, this site is very useful to me.
Thanks for all of your information and motivation!
Following you takes guts Matt because you make us come face to face with our weaknesses and even laziness (yeah, I said it!) Your suggestions and tips and lessons require hard work and dedication and sometimes it's fun to just "blow." However, to get anywhere in jazz guitar we must take to heart that which you preach. We just have to go watch you play a song to see the rewards of all that honest, hard work. Sigh…….I do work very hard at this stuff and it does pay off, but you are a monster dedication and application. It's great to see it in action!
Hi Matt,
Thank you for a great jazz guitar site. I have learned a lot from you, and you have helped me evolve as a guitar player in other genres aswell, they're all connected. :-)
wow i must win
thanks for yor efforts I have learned a lot
Great website very informative and interesting.
This is nice and equally a great opportunity for me. Thanks Matt.
Matt, I've been reading your site since it was launched and I must say this is one of the best resources on the net to learn jazz guitar, and with soooo many guitar related sites out there that says a lot about your work and your commitment to jazz education.
Best regards
Always love checking out your interesting Facebook posts. Thanks and keep it up!
thanks so much for building the site over the past 2 years. I've only been following it for about 6 months but have gotten a lot out of it + the guitar chord app.
here's to two more!
I'd like to give you a long overdue THANK YOU for your wonderful and very informative "classes." Your approach to theory and it's application is so relaxed and yet so educational without making it feel like a advanced college level, nuclear fusion class. I've been playing/teaching for 34 years as a professional guitar and bass player, spanning many genres. Jazz by far is my favorite. So often the student struggles with basic concepts. I have to admit I have lovingly "borrowed" a few of your techniques in my own playing AND teaching, with much success. I enjoy your phrasing and paying style very much. In fact, a single phrase that you offer can easily become a several-classes spanning experience. I thank you for your dedication to the genre and it's perpetuation. Jazz much live on.
I live in New Jersey, USA. Back in the 1980's/90's , I had the unique and humbling opportunity to meet , play with and other times just watch in AWE, the great Tal Farlow. A towering, yet nicest/gentlest man there was. One of the GREATEST bebop/swing players there ever was, in my opinion. I learned so much from him. It was HIS playing that first exposed Jazz to me. I have never been the same since. :).
You carry on in that tradition. I just want to thank you. Offering so much for free and still reserve enough to make a business out of something you LOVE. That's true dedication to the art-form and shows your love of what you do! Thank you again.
Hi Matt
I have both of your apps and I am finding your site very useful. I hope to meet you in London, UK
Have you thought about giving some masterclass?
Looks sweet!
All good, Matt. All good…
Thank you for your thoughtful preparation & presentation
of all these lessons.
Nice job, Matt. Congrats from the USA.
Very impressive approach and knowledge. I will purchase the ebook soon. Thanks for what you do!
Always love seeing what jazz guitar jewels you have posted.
Hi Matt,.hope you are having a good time and congratulations for this milestone :)
Here's to many more milestones in the coming years
Me and other guitar players who have come to learn more from your free lessons are indebted and thankful to your generosity in sharing your music knowledge! Thank you so much Matt and more power and success to you. I take off my hat to you.Brother .Namaste!
Great news, likely the sign of a pattern of progession ! Congrats!
Hi Matt
I just discovered your site and am amazed by the quality and volume of the material. I have not come across anything that comes close to as good as this. Thanks for sharing. BTW, I purchased your 2-5-1 Android app, any chance of the 101 Jazz licks for Android?
Thanks man. We are looking into that app for Android. Up next is a Scale app for ipad, iphone and ipod, then we'll take a look at another android app. Cheers!
A bigbigbig thank you for providing such great musical lessons and explanations for everyone out there! Keep going, happy anniversary and best regards
i don't want to suck anymore
Hey Matt aka the new Hal Leonard for all String Lovers ;)
Thanks for this great possibility!
cheers from Delhi
Congrats on 2 years, I wish you the best in your future endeavors. I took a Jazz course at Berklee as part of a cert class. Life got in the way but I enjoyed the Jazz class and was going to take a couple more, but decided it was too pricey. I am glad I found your site and plan to use your 30days book and forum to improve my playing. Thanks
Thanks so much! I really appreciate your willingness to share. I'm a winner no matter how the contest turns out!
Tabs and audio tracks from your lessons make a wonderful learning -and teaching- aid. Thanks for such a good job.

Déjà Vu, 1902 What a Modern Car Should Be
H. Ward Leonard got an amazingly lot of it righta long time ago.
By June 9, 2011
There's a great deal of soul searching these days about options for personal mobilityjust as there was more than 100 years ago. Thanks to the kindness of reader P. Mueller sorting through papers in his attic, here's "What a Light Touring Car Should Be," presented by industrialist H. Ward Leonard to the Long Island Automobile Club on February 26, 1902.
According to Nick Georgano's seminal Encyclopedia of Motorcars 1895 to the Present, the Ward Leonard Electric Co., Manufacturers of Motor Cars, Bronxville, New York, built the Knickerbocker, a 2-cylinder gasoline car, as well as an electric car under its own name from 1901-1903.
In his paper, Leonard assesses the three propulsion choices of his eragasoline, electric and steam. He rates them with regard to his own measures of goodness, specifically safety, reliability, speed, depreciation, economy, hill climbing, appearance, first cost, noise and smell. Not a bad list, nor absurd ordering even today. In offering these particular criteria and his evaluations, he notes, "I have given my own opinion of the matter in order
to invite discussion."
I'm delighted to do the same here. What follows, directly from this paper, is a summary of his evaluations, together with an annotated selection of his observations, many of which remain uncannily spot-on today.
On Safety
Leonard's safety priorities certainly satisfy the modern idea of fail-safe design. There's irony here as well: "The gasoline type is safest, then electric and then the steam, this being due to the fact that the maximum power of the gasoline engine is so limited, as compared with that of the electric and steam, and that almost any derangement of the mechanism tends to reduce the power and stop the car, while a derangement of certain devices of the steam or electric car may greatly increase the power for a short time, and consequently the danger."
A comment on brakes hints at Leonard's enthusiastic driving style: "The most skillful chauffeur is the one who so handles his car that he uses his brakes least." It's as though he could foresee racing a Formula Ford.
On Reliability
Leonard's definition of reliability isn't inappropriate today: "...going from where you start, to where you want to get to, whether it is very cold or very hot or very wet or very dry or very hilly or very sandy."
His ordering of goodness is gasoline (a weak link, its electrical system), steam (boiler and burner being suspect) and electric ("the battery, which is almost unreliability itself when considering long tours over country roads"). Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose....
One of Leonard's hopes has been fulfilled, though it took 100 years: "There seems to be no good reason why a sparking plug should not last indefinitely." On this, his timing was off: "I have good reason to believe that such sparking plugs will be on the market before long."
On Speed
Observes Leonard: "The chief cause for the existence of the modern automobile is its speed. There are few persons who want a slow automobile after having ridden in a moderately fast one."
To which I can only add "amen."
Even in 1902, "A touring car should be capable of making from 30 to 35 miles per hour on a first-class level road." Recall this is about 10 times a brisk walking pace, perhaps five times that of a horse and buggy.
On the benefit of direct drive in top gear: "There is no necessity of having any gear wheels in motion at high speeds... a very considerable amount of power is wasted in driving two or more wheels in a bath of oil." Leonard continues, "This is really a well-known form of brake for consuming power in making tests." And, of course, here he's talking about the brake dynamometer, a device still used today to measure the output of an engine (and the reason for the term bhp, brake horsepower).
As for the electric car and its heavy battery: "Its weight is the principal matter to be considered in designing the car."
On Depreciation
"The most difficult one to judge beforehand," Leonard notes of depreciation, citing "the inability to get promptly from the manufacturers the interchangeable parts desired."
Recall, this was 1902, three years before a Society of Automobile Engineers (today's SAE International) took on the standardization of automotive parts. It was six years before Cadillac won the British Royal Automobile Club's Dewar Trophy. Its achievement in March 1908? Disassembling three Model K Cadillacs, scrambling their parts into a heap, even swapping 89 of the components with those from separate stock, then reassembling the carsand demonstrating that all three operated just fine.

The last presidential election convinced the nation that our fair state is populated by hanging-chad, clueless morons. We've fallen so out of favor that even P. Diddy mentioned during the VMAs that he'd work on getting electoral information to South Floridians. Thanks, we get the point.
Now, the Punk Voter crowd rolls into town for a showcase headlined by local ska-punk outfit Against All Authority, making for one of the cooler evenings during Churchill's monthlong Miami Rock Fest. Spearheaded by NOFX's Fat Mike, Punk Voter is a community aiming to inform young voters of the differences between the candidates. The mission page on its Website, www.punkvoter.com, closes with: "We must remember that today's politicians are servants to their constituents, therefore we must become a true voting force."

Stores that sell Bison/Buffalo steaks?
I'm in Silver Spring and looking to buy Bison/Buffalo steaks. I've been told Whole Foods, but the local one said they didn't carry Buffalo in their meat department. I've also been pointed towards Cibola Farms for the Dupont Circle Farmers Market, but upcoming Sundays are tough for me.
I searched the topic and just found restaurants that sell Buffalo/Bison burgers/steaks. I'm looking to cook my own.
Has anyone had any success finding this?
There's a local place (well not too close to you) called Gunpowder Bison. http://www.gunpowderbison.com/ I didn't see it with a quick look, but they might list local stores that carry their stuff. Or if you're ambitious, you could drive up there.
A few months ago I got some great buffalo at The Organic Butcher in McLean. I called ahead and they had them for me the next day. Great service and the meat was divine.
re: ktmoomau
Yes, I would check with your local Wegmans
on saturdays in courthouse, arlington, there is a good farmer's market, with one vendor in particular who usually has a very wide variety of buffalo steaks, burgers and other cuts.
re: Dennis S
Sorry - I see you mention Cibola, but you're discounting too early. For one thing, none of the markets are active right now. When they do become active, Cibola is at quite a few, so maybe one during the week is near your work. Lastly, I think mail order is a sizeable chunk of their business. They have online ordering.
Thanks for all the input everyone. Unfortunately, it looks like I've got some driving on my hands, but atleast I know where to go now.
re: sekelmaan
Superfresh carries ground buffalo and buffalo steak medallions.
what whole foods are you going to...i tend to visit a lot of them depending on whether i am on the road for work or shopping and i have seen buffalo there all the time.
I am a fan of www.gunpowderbison.com They will ship to you. Very helpful too if you aren't sure what cut you want.
re: JQuigs
My Butcher and More in Gambrills/Crofton area usually has Gunpowder bison but you should call to make sure if you're heading out there (they're closed on Mondays and Tuesdays in the winter). 410-451-3296 Mike or Freda.
The Whole Foods store in the Kentlands in Gaithersburg, MD stocks ground BIson on
a regular basis and usually has steaks & roast in stock
Thanks for all the help guys.
I'll give a bit of a summary of my findings.
Costco: I was pointed here for ground bison, and they have it. It wasn't the best, but atleast they had it.
Wegmans: None in the Silver Spring area, or even remotely close, but I did happen by one while in Northern VA at one point. Steaks and ground bison, but didn't buy anything.
Whole Foods: The Silver Spring location has it sporadically, and I've seen it a lot more frequently in other locations since my original post. The butchers usually cut whatever they have and put it out, so there's not much room to talk with the butcher and get different cuts. Which is unfortunate in that they seem to always cut the steaks 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick and leave you without an option for thicker steaks or different cuts.
Cibola: Sundays finally freed up for me and I made it to the Dupont Circle Farmers Market. Cibola is phenomenal. Great selection, nice thick steaks. The ground bison was very good as well. It was great to have a burger at home again that wasn't turkey for a change. (Fiancee is not a fan of the red meat, but was won over by how much healthier the buffalo is)
re: imbecile
Thanks for the report back. I was wrong about the DuPont FM. I thought they ALL shut down for the winter. That's a nice deal that it's still open. I'm a tad jealous.
re: Dennis S
Bison steaks when from a reputable (and knowledgable about game) butcher can be lean, flavorful, and delicious. However, as I learned in my yellowstone park wanderings last month, bison is often not what you think it is. Many bison at the market is butchered too young and does not allow for a complex flavor. With that, buyer beware!

From 2000 to 2004, while member of Diversions, the national dance company of Wales, Romain had the opportunity to work with numerous choreographers such as Zvi Gotheiner, Toni Mira and Tomi Kitti and he also created four pieces for the choreographic platforms of the company. After one year break spent in Asia, India and Nepal, traveling and studying Yoga and Kalaripayattu, Romain came back to the performing arts joining the Gelabert-Azzopardi companya de dansa inBarcelona in 2005.
In 2007, Romain started his freelance career and has since worked in Korea with Eun Me Ahn dance company, in Freiburg with the Stadttheater- PVC ensemble and in Köln with Movingtheatre. Romain has been teaching contemporary and yoga since 2000.
Class Description: The class includes elements of Release, Cunningham techniques and Yogic philosophy in order to focus on body/mind awareness, breath control and energy. Dynamic and technical, the class stimulates the cardiovascular system by combining floor,resistance work and stamina exercises. Focus is also placed on the anatomy of movement (specially connection head/sacrum) and on body in space.
Motto: Through structured contemporary class, dancers are invited to find power, energy and quality of movements in relaxation.

15 ThunderBird Addons for Better Organization and Efficiency
Mozilla's Thunderbird is a popular email application that is used by many freelancers and designers. Like Firefox, one of the great things about Thunderbird is the ability to extend it with a wide range of add-ons that are available. In this post we'll highlight 15 that are likely to be appreciated by designers and developers who are looking to improve their efficiency.
Keeping your inbox organized can be a major challenge when you're getting tons of email every day, but it's important for making the most efficient use of your time and for staying on top of things. QuickFolders allows you to set tabs for your most important folders, making it quicker and easier to manage.
Read More
This extension adds an extra toolbar to Thunderbird. When you drag a mail folder to it, you get a (rename-able) shortcut to that mail folder. This supports full drag and drop, like the corresponding folder in the folder tree – You can drag messages on it to move/copy them to the folder, and access the bookmarked folders through keyboard shortcuts. This is handy when you have a large tree of folders for clients or projects, but use only a few of them at the same time.

At the Veterans Day luncheon, local American Legion and VFW members are reminiscing about their time serving our country. Most are getting up in age.
"I'm 41 years old, and I'm considered the young guy. I'm 41," says Clifford Johnsen, membership chair for the American Legion Post 10 in Wausau.
Members like Johnsen say that's a problem. They're having little success recruiting younger veterans, especially those returning from Iraq and Afghanistan.
Most of the members in the local American Legion and VFW posts are veterans of World War II and Korea, but they say there are a number of reasons they have trouble getting younger members to join.
"It's hard to get in touch with them. The Freedom of Information Act, we can't find out who they are," says Zane Meranda, 1st Adjutant for American Legion Post 10.
So in most cases, they have to rely on word of mouth to get potential members in the door.
"We have to go find friends of friends, or a neighbors' brother-in-law -- personal contacts," says Johnsen.
They also know new veterans have other obligations, such as jobs and families. But they encourage them to join for personal benefits, such as community involvement and the camaraderie member Bill Sikonia says only veterans can understand.
"You get choked up, and they understand it and you can relate with them a lot better," says Sikonia.
Members say once these new veterans find time in their schedules, they hope they'll turn to these groups.
"You just feel like you have to give back. And that sometimes takes a while to develop," says Meranda.
You can find more information about the veterans' groups by logging onto the following Web sites:

German researchers claim 100 Gbps wireless transmission record
German researchers are claiming a world record, using a 237.5 GHz carrier and photonic mixing to achieve a 100 Gbps wireless link. Don't throw away that WiFi kit just yet, however: while the reach, at 20 metres, is good enough to cover most household applications, the setup is a little bit exotic at this point in the system's …
Well yes
This will turn into a solution for certain problems, e.g. "microwave links", however once you lay down a fibre, you can get 100 GBits with off the shelf technology _today_.... per wavelength. And you can do around 100 wavelengths over such a fibre today.
So while it is a solution for certain problems, and certainly can evolve into a stopgap solution, it still doesn't keep us from finally getting off our collective asses and laying a dedicated pair of fibres to every household.
Re: Well yes
Agreed with everything you say BUT fibre requires the opening and closing of the roads and pavements - which is a long and costly process.. especially when it has to be repeated every 10 or 15 years..
Re: Well yes
FTTN is optimal in the long run. By being supplied by a dedicated physical medium It avoids many issues experienced by wireless and it's shared medium, which is in simple terms a range of frequencies beamed into the air. Interference from electrical and mechanical equipment and not to mention the ever present and growing issue of interference from competing wireless networks sharing the same frequencies or even the issue of more users on the same access point and wireless channels = more latency and less throughput...
Wireless, even though in a lab can produce incredible throughput, will suffer the "shared medium" issue in real life deployments. Something FTTN will forever be unaffected by.
Concerning Existing WiFi implementations in populated areas, like a busy street in bangkok you will find over 30 competing and overlapping wifi signals in the 2.4GHz band, as population densities grows the clutter ever increases and newly opened frequencies like the 5GHz band will soon become crowded, especially if using max bandwidth multiple channels.
Opening and closing of roads
Yes, it's a costly process, but it can be done.
Where I live, the power co. had decided to move the supply cables from masts to ducts in the ground. Since they had the diggers out and the roads open anyway, they put down empty tubes as well, and everyone in the village got a letter asking "Sir, in preparation for FTTH, should we lay down a tube from the road to the foundation of your house free of charge?". Sure, go right ahead. So they did.
Later, the power cos established a joint venture service provider, and to all the households where they had laid down tubes to the foundation, they now offered free installation of the fibre and the terminal gear if you subscribed to the service. Which I had anticipated, so I got 30/30 Mbit/s internet (or better - it's usually at 37/34) on top of a bunch of TV channels and telephone. And I saved on the overall monthly fee.
Sure, the fibres have a life span of 30 years, but they are in tubes, so no need to dig up the roads and pavements when the time comes.
Re: Well yes
1. Considering our current wiring was laid down starting in 1900, chances are good that dedicated fibres will last for another 50 years.
2. There is a new and exciting invention called the "tube". It's a hollow enclosure for cables which makes it easy to replace them without opening and closing any roads.
The only practical problem is joining fibres. That's harder than joining copper, but I'm sure there are decent plug solutions which would work on a decent scale.
@JosefMartin (Re: Well yes)
Pretty sure you won't find anyone else in your neighbourhood transmitting at 237.5 GHz. Not yet, anyway, given what is required to generate the signal. It would make sense and be quite simple for the government to restrict use of that frequency to node-to-home connections.
Re: Well yes
The link is *very* directional line-of-sight with a beam width of a few degrees, like a flashlight -- it's intended for a small number of backhaul point-to-point links, not broadcast radio with many potentially interfering transmitters.
Stating that FTTx is optimum in the long run is obvious, until you're in a small village where 1km of road needs digging up to reach a few subscribers. In this case a small dish at each end would be a lot cheaper.
Another possible application is links between the large number of microcell basestations needed for widespread 4G/5G access in cities. Digging up city streets to install the fibre needed to link these -- because many more basestations will be needed than at present to get the network capacity -- is also a lot more expensive than point-to-point radio links between rooftop dishes.
"a narrow-band terahertz carrier is photonically generated by mixing comb lines of a mode-locked laser in a uni-travelling-carrier photodiode. The uni-travelling-carrier photodiode output is then radiated over a beam-focusing antenna. The signal is received by a millimetre-wave monolithic integrated circuit comprising novel terahertz mixers and amplifiers."
A whole paragraph of awesome!
I've had an accident.....
Far off from scrapping the need for copper/fibre links. But it looks like it could be the start.
What about laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat'ncy?
This technology will be great in niches. It won't beat fibre for throughput, reliability, or durability. Could come in handy for instant or hard to cable point-to-point application though.
This sort of technology is more or less line of sight, subject to rain attenuation, chugs relatively high power relative to fibre, but the real usage lid is interference between systems. There's only one radio spectrum available and carving it up spatially becomes increasingly expensive with more users.

Dr. John has a few of local concerts coming up
Dr. John, the Nite Tripper, is as unique as ever, and is touring behind some of the best music he's ever made.
Michael Wilson
Visit the Photo Place
Like gumbo and Mardi Gras, Dr. John is one of New Orleans' most popular creations.
He's been carrying the city's torch since the 1960s, when he released his first collection of funky, Cajun-flavored blues songs. A half-century later, he's still going strong, with a new album under his belt and a popular fall tour--including upcoming shows at George Mason University, Christopher Newport University, and the University of Richmond--that stretches until the end of the month.
The tour also features Blind Boys of Alabama, another bluesy act with strong ties to the South. The two groups began working together in March, when Dr. John hosted a tribute to Louis Armstrong at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. Blind Boys of Alabama opened and closed the performance, with Dr. John adding some jazzy piano accompaniment.
The Louis Armstrong show was a hit. Looking to keep the collaborative spirit alive, Dr. John invited Blind Boys of Alabama on the road.
"I've been having a ball," he said earlier this week, speaking in his signature slow, smoky rasp.
"They play their show, we play ours and then we bring them back up. There's certain songs we always do together, like "If I Had a Hammer" and "People Get Ready," but it's not exactly the same show every time. We just do whatever we're gonna do."
Doing whatever he wants to do has been Dr. John's M.O. for years. Although he scored a hit single in the early 1970s with "Right Place Wrong Time," he's always been an odd character, dressing in outrageous outfits--purple blazers, thick gold chains, feathered fedoras--and dishing up his own brand of "voodoo music," a genre-bending stew of jazz, blues, R&B and psychedelic rock.
If that doesn't sound like a recipe for popular music, it's because it isn't. Dr. John is too bizarre, too unique to ever become a mainstream artist. For those who can't get enough of his voodoo music, though--including Black Keys frontman Dan Auerbach--Dr. John will never go out of style.
A longtime fan, Auerbach volunteered to produce Dr. John's latest album, "Locked Down." Released earlier this year, it earned some of the best reviews of Dr. John's career, thanks to a steamy, sweaty mix of horns, electric guitar and boogie-woogie piano. Auerbach even spiced up Dr. John's musical gumbo with some African influences.
"Musical flavors go all kinda ways," Dr. John said. "Dan brought in a drummer who lived in Ethiopia and was hip to a lot of Afrobeat stuff, which I really liked. Dan is open to a lot of different music, so we were able to take some songs and twist them around, you know?"
Dr. John says he's proud of the album, but he doesn't spend much time listening to it. At 71, he's still a road warrior, and his focus is on the current tour.
"I never get a chance to really listen to the records I've done," he admitted. "I'm out here on the road doing other stuff. Every day is spent driving and writing a set for the gig that night, and I take my time doing that."
He's gonna do whatever he's gonna do.
Andrew Leahey, like tobacco and ham, is one of Virginia's most popular creations.
What: Dr. John & The Lower 911 Band with Blind Boys of Alabama When: Saturday, Nov. 3, at 8 p.m. at George Mason University's Center for the Arts, Mason Pond Drive, Fairfax; Tuesday, Nov. 13 at 7:30 p.m. at the Carpenter Theater, 600 E. Grace St., Richmond. Cost: In Fairfax: $23-$46. In Richmond: $34-$42. Info: nitetripper.com; cfa.gmu.edu; modlin.rich mond.edu

Physical therapy techniques are utilized with the purpose to help the mechanics of a patient's movement to recover. A broad assortment of ailments can be treated with physical therapy techniques. These ailments include but are not limited to: arthritis; tears in ligaments or tendons; or surgical recovery. The purpose of physical therapy techniques generally is to improve the movement of one joint or many joints in the body. The eventual goal is to return the joint to the best possible condition possible. Physical therapy is often used in conjunction with other medical measures for the best results for the patient.
When different parts of the body are injured, different physical therapy techniques are utilized to relieve these injuries or ailments. Each method is different and affects the body differently depending on the patient's body mechanics and their general health. A professional skilled in physical therapy techniques will identify when a particular method is effective for a patient or if the method needs to be changed. On occasions, physical therapy techniques are required to be used in a fashion which opens up one area of the body before another more useful technique can be used. Different physical therapy techniques will garner a different outcome with different patients.
One of the most familiar physical therapy techniques is massage. Massage typically uses the hands of the therapist to rub the joints or muscles in order to increase blood flow to the injured area. Bringing blood to the vicinity encourages the body to heal itself essentially by bringing nutrients to the area to restore the joints or muscles that may be injured. Furthermore, massage works to relax muscles through the manipulation and separation of the bands that compose the muscles. The loosening makes the muscles more flexible and more able to contract. Massage physical therapy techniques help the patient with the manipulation of the muscles and tendons.
Massage physical therapy techniques can also improve the patient's sense of self through relaxation. The release of stress and tension in muscles increases the range of motion in joints. Massage physical therapy techniques are easy to perform, but to do them at medical correctness requires years of schooling and practice to be done effectively. The relief of pain in the joints and muscles helps to lower the stress levels of the physical therapy patients. Arthritis and pain associated with surgery can be particularly stressful. Massage can aid the repairing factor of surgery.
