November 15, 1954
COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIAv.ARMAND DI FILIPPO, APPELLANT
Garfield W. Levy, Walter N. Kennedy, Jr., Philadelphia, for appellant.
Samuel Dash, Victor Wright, Jr., Asst. Dist. Attys., Michael von Moschzisker, First Asst. Dist. Atty., Richardson Dilworth, Dist. Atty., Philadelphia, for appellee.
Before Rhodes, P. J., and Ross, Gunther, Wright, Woodside and Ervin, JJ.
[ 176 Pa. Super. Page 609]
WRIGHT, Judge.
Armand DiFilippo was tried in the Court of Oyer and Terminer of Philadelphia County before Judge Sloane and a jury on bill number 159 May Sessions 1953, charging assault and battery, aggravated assault
[ 176 Pa. Super. Page 610]
and battery, assault and battery with intent to ravish, and rape; on bill number 160 charging contributing to the delinquency of a minor; and on bill number 161 charging incestuous fornication. The jury found DiFilippo guilty on all three bills. His motion for new trial was denied, and sentence was imposed. This appeal raises six questions, of which we deem it necessary to consider only one, since we are in agreement with appellant's principal contention, namely, that the jury was improperly impaneled.
Twelve jurors were called and seated in the box before any challenging began. Then appellant's counsel peremptorily challenged five of these original twelve jurors, and the District Attorney challenged none. As additional jurors were called, appellant's counsel continued to exercise his right of challenge, without any corresponding exercise on the part of the Commonwealth, until he had exhausted his quota of twenty peremptory challenges. It became apparent that, as a matter of tactics, the defense had succeeded in securing an all male jury. The District Attorney was then permitted by the trial judge to exercise his right of challenge, and proceeded therewith until he had exhausted his original quota of twenty peremptory challenges. After a conference in chambers, the trial judge placed the following statement on the record
'It is agreed that the defense counsel exercised twenty peremptory challenges before the Commonwealth exercised any of its challenges. Since this is a case involving incestuous statutory rape on a girl that will be shown to be under sixteen years of age by her uncle, it appears in chambers beyond the hearing of the panel that defense counsel stated that he did not want any women on the jury, that he is going to exercise his peremptory challenges until he exhausted all the women jurors as jurors.
[ 176 Pa. Super. Page 611]
'The assistant district attorney, in consultation with Joseph Alessandroni, representing the family of the prosecutrix, decided that they thought there ought to be some women on the jury and began exercising their challenges. That is the long and short of it, and I have permitted the Commonwealth to do it.
'This was done over the objection of defense counsel, who raised the query whether the Commonwealth has a right to do it when the assistant district attorney did not challenge alternately with defense counsel when he had the opportunity.
'I have allowed the assistant district attorney to do it, first, because I know of no statutory objection to it, and, also, because I thought it was only fair to the Commonwealth to overcome whatever there is in the thought that there should be no women in the jury box'.
There is no constitutional right to any peremptory challenges. The right is legislative in origin. Commonwealth v. Antico, 146 Pa. Super. 293, 22 A.2d 204. Our statute on the subject is the Act of March 6, 1901, P.L. 16 as amended, 19 P.S. § 811, which provides as follows: 'From and after the passage of this act it shall be unlawful for any district attorney of any county in this commonwealth, in empanelling any jury for the trial in any court of any indictment charging a felony or a misdemeanor, to stand aside jurors, but in every such case the commonwealth and the defendant shall, in addition to the challenges for cause now allowed, be entitled to peremptory challenges as follows: * * * in the trial of misdemeanors and felonies, triable exclusively in the courts of oyer and terminer and general jail delivery, the commonwealth and the defendant shall each be entitled to twenty peremptory challenges; all of which challenges shall be made and assigned by the commonwealth and the defendant respectively
[ 176 Pa. Super. Page 612]
when the juror is called: * * * [Italics supplied].' In Commonwealth v. Conroy, 207 Pa. 212, 56 A. 427, 428, Mr. Justice Dean pointed out that the word 'respectively' in the Act of 1901 is synonymous with the word 'alternately' in the Act of 1860*fn1, saying: 'The act of 1901 did not repeal the act of 1860, nor was it intended to have that effect. The later act is a supplement to the former. Its purpose was to take from the commonwealth the right to stand aside jurors until the panel was exhausted, and put the commonwealth upon an equality with defendant as to the number of peremptory challenges.'
There are, as a matter of actual practice, two methods of impaneling a jury. In one, used principally in homicide cases, jurors are called singly, and right of peremptory challenge must be exercised as the juror is called. If not so exercised, the right is deemed to be waived, and the juror in question may not be thereafter challenged. In the words of President Judge Rice in Commonwealth v. Brown, 23 Pa. Super. 470:
'As has been said repeatedly the right of peremptory challenge is not of itself a right to select but a right to reject jurors * * * The defendants' counsel contended that the right may be exercised at any time up to the moment the impaneled jury is sworn * * * The principal object aimed at in the act of 1901 was not merely the abolition of this practice of 'standing aside'
[ 176 Pa. Super. Page 613]
jurors, but the extinguishment of the right which lay back of it, and the establishment of a rule which would prevent its exercise in the future in that or any other mode. The first part of the general purpose was accomplished by declaring that it shall be unlawful for any district attorney 'to stand aside jurors,' and the second most important part, by declaring, 'all of which challenges shall be made all assigned by the commonwealth and the defendant respectively when the juror is called'. By this act the commonwealth and the defendant are put on an equality, both as to the number of peremptory challenges, and as to the time when the right to make them is to be exercised * * * If an opportunity is afforded to exercise the right of peremptory challenge, and all that it implies, when the juror is called and brought face to face with the accused in the presence of the court, and right is not exercised, it must be deemed to be waived; it cannot be held in reserve, arbitrarily, until a full jury is impaneled (italics supplied)'. And see Commonwealth v. Evans, 212 Pa. 369, 61 A. 989.
A second method, used generally in other criminal cases, whether or not they are triable exclusively in the Court of Oyer and Terminer, is to call jurors in a group. 'The trial court, in its opinion overruling the motion or a new trial, held that the practice of examining jurors on their voir dire in homicide, was irregular in other criminal cases; that the regular practice in these cases was to call all the jurors into the box, examine them on their voir dire, and challenge therefrom, allowing challenges for cause where it could be shown to exist, and if not, the challenges to be regulated by the Act of 1901. This, we take it, is the customary practice throughout the Commonwealth'. Commonwealth v. Exler, 61 Pa. Super. 423. And see Commonwealth v. Deysher, 139 Pa. Super. 497,
[ 176 Pa. Super. Page 61412]
A.2d 492. We therefore find no fault with the practice of the trial court in calling twelve jurors and seating them in the box before the challenging began. But it was then the duty of the Commonwealth and the defendant to exercise the right of challenge alternately, as the Act of 1901 requires.
Counsel for the Commonwealth, as did the learned trial judge, rely upon Commonwealth v. Marion, 232 Pa. 413, 81 A. 423, and Commonwealth v. Curry, 287 Pa. 553, 135 A. 316, but these decisions are not controlling. The Marion case affirms the proposition that a juror cannot ordinarily be challenged peremptorily after he has been accepted, but holds that this rule is subject to modification where the juror has been examined in chief and not challenged, but sufficient facts are developed upon cross-examination to satisfy the sound discretion of the trial judge that the challenge should be allowed. In the Curry case, eleven jurors had been selected and sworn. Thereafter, and before the twelfth juror was secured, it was discovered that the tenth juror had a long criminal record. The trial judge*fn2 permitted the Commonwealth to exercise a peremptory challenge, stating that if the challenge had not been made, he would have withdrawn the juror in the exercise of his judicial discretion. To prevent harm coming to the defendant, who had exhausted his quota, he was granted the right to five additional peremptory challenges.
In both the Marion and Curry cases, sound reasons appeared to permit the peremptory challenge of a single juror after he had been accpeted. In the case at bar, solely as a matter of belated trial tactics, the Commonwealth was permitted to challenge not a particular one but any or all of the jurors already seated.
[ 176 Pa. Super. Page 615]
The situation which resulted was actually more prejudicial than that which the Act of 1901 was intended to prevent. The Commonwealth went back through the panel, rejecting at will jurors previously seated, and then either accepting or rejecting the jurors called in their stead, all without recourse on the part of the defendant. While a defendant is 'entitled to a trial by a fair and impartial jury, but not to a trial by any particular juror or jurors'*fn3, he nevertheless has the right to select that jury in a manner designed to accord, both to him and the Commonwealth, that fundamental equality which the Act of 1901 was designed to secure.
Judgment reversed with a procedendo.

NPD: Nintendo 3DS Outsells Xbox One in May, Sony PS4 Beats Both
Jason Mick
June 17, 2014 4:30 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Microsoft, meanwhile, sees some slowdown as it falls behind Sony, Nintendo in sales
The NPD Group, Inc. -- a top market research firm -- has released its latest console sales report for the month of May 2014. With the exception of one small surprise (more on that in a bit), the message is the same -- Sony Corp.'s (TYO:6758) PlayStation 4 continues to dominate sales while Microsoft Corp.'s (MSFT) Xbox One remains a feisty, but struggling challenger.
I. Nintendo, Sony Win Big as Microsoft Struggles
The company's press release did not contain specifics on how many units each company sold, but it clearly indicated that Sony's console continued to dominate sales for a fifth straight month.
As of March 31 official sales numbers put Microsoft at 5 million units sold, Sony at 7 million units sold, and Nintendo Comp., Ltd. (
) Wii U has sold 6.17 million units. Nintendo's console
launched in Nov. 2012
; Microsoft and Sony's consoles
went on sale
year later in Nov. 2013
Sony has thus far controlled this generation of the console race.
Of the trio of console makers, Sony has thus far seen
arguably the greatest success wooing third party content
, while Nintendo has had
the worst luck in courting developers
The last year has been a rocky one for Nintendo, which suffered largely due to its slow response at publishing new titles in its most popular franchises, like Kirby, Mario, Mario Kart, Smash Bros., Zelda, and Donkey Kong. It has been forced to cut its forecasts multiple times and
saw sales drop
early this year. Now its looking reinvigorated.
Due to that, while Sony held the sales crown in May, Nintendo might be the biggest winner of last month for breaking out of its nearly year long slump. Its return to growth was driven -- by
its own accounting
, even -- by the much anticipated release of Mario Kart 8. Mario Kart 8 sold roughly 1.2 million copies, good enough for second place in the NPD Group's May 2014 top selling video games list. The NPD Group report that many of those sales have come from the bundled copy, helping to drive Wii U console sales back to growth, as well.
Mario Kart 8 has been the fastest selling Wii U title in the console's young history. It was in third place in U.S. sales (versus second globally), showing gains in a market where Nintendo struggled throughout much of late 2013 and early 2014.
Nintendo's 3DS title Kirby:Triple Deluxe also performed admirably, earning ninth place on the list. According to the NPD Group,
the Nintendo 3DS outsold the Xbox One
(let that one sink in, for a moment), earning the ranking of second best selling system for the month (behind only the PS4).
The best-selling game in May was
, the new techno-thriller from France's Ubisoft Entertainment SA (
). It was a relatively disappointing month for Microsoft in terms of content sales. After
scored the top spot in sales last month, this month the Electronic Arts, Inc. (EA) title plummeted to eighth place in sales, behind newer releases. Sony, meanwhile, scored a surprise hit with its exclusive
MLB 14: The Show
title, which launched for the PlayStation 4 (PS4), PlayStation 3 (PS3), and PlayStation Vita (PSV).
Speaking of the PlayStation Vita, Sony's portable -- while outsold by Nintendo's 3DS -- saw some progress of its own. A
Borderlands 2
PSV bundle has sold well. The bundle introduced the American market's first major revision of the handheld.
II. A New Gaming Golden Age
Overall hardware sales rose to $187M USD for the month, up a whopping 95 percent from May 2013 ($96M USD). Driven by 15 percent growth in video game point and subscription cards, interactive gaming toys, and gamepads, video game peripherals and accessories saw a modest 8 percent sales rise.
Game sales were also golden in May. Downloadable content on consoles, smartphone games, and social network gaming continues to be a massive lucrative, but poorly understood channels. In-game microtransactions, subscriptions, mobile apps, and social network game spending totaled $787M USD (est.) for the month of May.
That's well ahead of the $274M USD in software sales that the console and portable market saw (up 57 percent). PC games, meanwhile sold an estimated $10M USD for the month. Consoles and portables also saw $124M USD (est.) in rental and used game sales.
Watchdogs was not only the top-selling game for May, it also drove Ubisoft past rival EA in total sales.
In total, the NPD group estimates consumers globally may have spent nearly $1.5B USD on the gaming industry's wares.
NPD Group analyst Liam Callahan on the booming month of May:
The last time overall new physical channel growth saw a month-over-month increase of this magnitude was June 2008, with a 53 percent increase... May 2014 marked the highest selling May data month for video game point and subscription cards on record.
As seen in prior months, the lift in hardware sales was driven by console hardware, which increased 137 percent in May 2014 (vs. May 2013). While much of May 2014's hardware growth was due to Xbox One and PS4, there was also year-over-year growth for the Wii U, and PS Vita.
Collectively, May 2014 launches sold 800 percent more in dollar sales than May 2013 launches did their respective launch months. New launches represented 50 percent of dollar sales this month, which compared to only 9 percent for new launches in May 2013.
Ubisoft may not exactly be beloved by gamers as it at times is at odds with its audience, but many gamers would be pleased to know that on the success of Watchdogs, Ubisoft is estimated to have deposed EA as the world's biggest gamemaker, in the month of May. (EA is
regularly rated the "worst company"
in regards to how it treats consumers.)
III. Sony -- PS4 is the "Leading Next Gen Console"
Looking ahead, June should bring more glad tidings for the gaming industry.
Sony released a cheery statement on the NPD numbers. Senior Vice President of PlayStation Brand Marketing Guy Longworth commented:
PlayStation continues to be the best place to play for innovative IP, as PS4 was the preferred platform for May's biggest releases, including Watch Dogs and Wolfenstein: The New Order, and held four of the top five spots for next gen software sales. PS4 is the leading next-gen platform for sports, highlighted in May by the best-selling sports game, MLB 14: The Show.
Microsoft, after
releasing comments
emphasizing the positives on the last two months' NPD reports (where it got beat, but still one in some regards, such as with Titanfall's strong sales) was uncharacteristically silent, and has yet to release a comment on
Xbox Wire
. It's unclear whether Microsoft will bother to say anything, given that it's virtually impossible to spin this month's sales figures in its favor.
A new Kinect-less SKU could boost the Xbox One in June.
The Xbox One maker is likely looking forward to next month's numbers. It's hoping that the new cheaper
Kinect-less $399 Xbox One SKU
, will finally manage to stem the tide of Sony's victory march. If it can not, we're likely witnessing the two console giants reverse their roles of last generation, when Sony saw slow sales of the unprofitable PS3 and Microsoft saw booming sales of its Xbox 360.
However, it's a bit premature to come to such conclusions. Holiday 2014 will likely decided decisively the winner(s) and loser(s) of this generation of consoles. For now, though, anything could happen.

We placed an order to a supplier and paid him a deposit and the balance. After getting the balance payment the supplier refused to ship out the goods. Now he offers to return only 50% of the PI amount. How can we get him to return the total PI amount back?
The following blog post offers some suggestions on how to handle a situation like yours:
"They took the money and ran!"
The first question to ask yourself is "do you want to save the relationship with this company so that you can do business in the future?" If the answer is "yes", then you should consider getting a 3rd party mediation firm involved. www.SouthernPerspectiveSZ.com is a mediation firm that I have used and can recommend. They also have Russian clients.
If your answer to the above question is "no", then I suggest you work with a Chinese lawyer to issue a demand letter and if that doesn't work- go to court. Here are two blog posts that explain in detail about demand letters and going to court in China:
Resolving a dispute: Demand letters and legal options
Can foreigners win in a Chinese court?
I have used the English speaking Chinese law firm of www.Chibridge.net for your reference.
Let me know if you would like an introduction to Chibridge or SouthernPerspectiveSZ and I will be happy to put you in touch.
In hopes that this problem doesn't happen next time, I would like to offer a few videos that give tips and strategies about selecting good suppliers and organizing payments:

Best Acoustic GuitarChristian.H.Mills Notice the inconspicuous absence of the suffix "ists" from guitar. This list is devoted to your favorite guitar brand.
The Top TenXW
Nothing compares to a Martin. The craftsmanship and attention to detail is impeccable, and the sound: the sound. The sound is like heaven. If you're used to an electric, a Taylor may feel more comfortable, but nothing compares to the timbre of a Martin acoustic. In the right hands, the bass and treble are perfectly actuated. None of that "tinny" Taylor quality which - while useful in certain applications and seems "easier to play" - cannot hold a candle to the the deep, rich, nuanced tone of a Martin acoustic. Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Woody Guthrie, Eric Clapton... Need I say more? I own a D-35, and I wouldn't be caught dead without a Martin guitar in my arsenal. Complete, unequivocal perfection.
Acoustically I own a Martin for the living room. Best sound but I won't let it leave the house. (Taylor people are so defensive, but lets face it Martin owners never have to say "Oh it sounds just like/as good as a Taylor") I own an Ovation, the thing is bullet proof, a little thin on sound but can take it anywhere. If I plug it in, it has amazing electronics and sounds 10X better. I own an Ibenez exotic wood, pretty but a stiff box that just does not resonate, hate it.
Even Taylor players know that Martin is king. They just won't admit it. Who do you think invented the Dreadnought?
Martin worth every penny, Quality unsurpassed.V77 Comments
Every time I guitar shop I come back to Gibson. Pricey, but the look, feel and tone are to my tastes. A lot of classic songs have been recorded over the years on these guitars. Are they superior to Martins or Taylors? It's a matter of preference. I own a hummingbird custom and the aesthetics, tone and feel are unsurpassed, but it doesn't "cut" like a Martin. For chording though, it's a better balance. I also own a J-45 which is the ultimate acoustic blues guitar.
I just got a hummingbird and it's by far the nicest guitar I have ever owned. And I've had so many fenders martins, and Taylor's. Taylor were decent also but Gibson. Both electric and acoustic have that rich warm sound and feel. Bottom line, gibbons are the best.
Just picked up a J-45 PureVoice.. the sound is sweet, the play is dynamic, and it is responsive to the max. It works with me, and I with it - one really feels the relationship is mutually needy, and if you like the mid-range feel of Jackson Browne or Cheryl Crowe, Gibson lays it out for you.
One day I want to own a Martin IN ADDITION to my Gibson.. but having tried both a lot.. the D-18, the D-28... I went with the J-45. The J-45 is special in that it has slim shoulders - you won't get an enormous boom out of it when un-amplified. But the sustain is super fine, and as accompaniment to the singer and as a tool for the songwriter, it is rock solid and it gives, gives, gives, then gives some more. Plus, it's sexy as hell - every boy might think he longs for a Martin, but every girl goes home with the guy with the Gibson.
Gibson Les Paul Studio...enough said!V32 Comments
Taylor, Martin, Gibson all great production brands... Which is better comes done to what you like sonically, visually and of course the feel in your hands. It is also difficult to compare one brand versus another unless you are comparing similar designs using the same tone woods and in the same price range. Anyone espousing one is better than the other without doing this is not being honest with themselves. I own a Martin and two Taylors, all are great and have different voices and feels... Even the 2 Taylors are very different in sound and looks. In the end I vote for Taylor because I like the neck carve and feel that the looks and build quality are a bit better in the $3K - $4 price range. If your looking for something in a lower $500 - $1, 000range you probably should be considering Yamaha or Takamine. Though in the end you get what you pay for.
I have been a musician for many years now. I have played in everything from metal bands to acoustic coffee house sets to worship/praise bands. I feel that with these many years of playing I have earned a sharp ear, no pun intended. By that I mean that I have developed an ear not only to hear pitches, tones, and notes, but I can also hear good and bad timbre. I feel that Taylor guitars simply produce the best timbre of any acoustic guitar I have played. Naturally, all of my acoustics are Taylor! With that, thanks to Bob Taylor for doing it best and doing it right the first time!
Taylor and Martin are the best. I like Taylors cause of their higher sound. A Martin has a deeper, more mellow tone.
Crisp clear sounds, various models with different tone woods and top woods for all kinds of sounds, even their layered woods sound clean, and the build quality is very high the neck is in perfect concert with the bridge/saddle and body for playability that pulls all of your emotion into your playing... many great guitars out there from many different periods from many different makers (large and small) but I personally lean towards taylor since they match me best I thinkV44 Comments
I can't have them above Guild. Their usa made stuff and vintage acoustics are gems no doubt, but they set 7 or 8th for me. I just wish they still made American made acoustics. Like guild they are a hallmark name in the acoustic guitar world. Unlike guild they aren't being made in america. Guild and their supporters really lucked out with the Cordoba purchase. They're bringing Guild back where they belong. On top. Now if someone would do the same for Washburn. I really thought the usa made stuff would get back to greatness with that solo deluxe warren haynes model, but they stopped American made guitars all together which is a shame.
I was handed down my fathers Washburn, the only time I remember being allowed to touch it was when he bought it and put it across our laps when I was 5, this was about 30 years ago and even then we were only to protect it. I now play it and it is beautiful and has such a rich tone. I love it.
Just got a new washburn a few days ago and it sounds just as good as most of the martins and other top brands that I tried I don't know why it has such low ratings
I love my T12MR 4 string bassV16 Comments
Unbelievable quality and sound
#5? Are you joking? I have a PR-200 that I've owned for 15 years. I hate it. The action is ridiculous unless your fingertips are made out of adamantium or whatever the heck Wolverine is made from. The sound is muddled and a clash of midrange. Sustain is nonexistent. The frets have flattened on the high strings. News flash- I'm not spending $350 to re-fret a $279 guitar. Epiphone may make some good high end guitars but I don't trust them. If you make crappy low end guitars why should I trust your brand? You were supposed to get me to fall in love with the brand but you've made me hate it. My next guitar will be a Yamaha, Martin or Taylor.
Too high. Before the Gibson purchase epiphone was top shelf. Their vintage acoustics still are worth seeking out for any player or collection and while the new stuff is some of the best 'budget' options available they aren't Gibson or even vintage epiphone for that matter.
Their worst guitar since Moses got lost in the attic ocean before discovering the computer.V18 Comments
Honestly, a couple of years back I never looked at Fender for acoustic guitars because everyone was always talking about Taylors, Gibsons, Martins, Takamines, Paul Reed Smiths etc. Despite being a very good electric guitar company not to mention the inventor of the no. 1 guitar in the world, the strat, everyone always looked Fender, alongside with Ibanez and Washburn (good electric guitar brands) as bad acoustic manufacturers. I was one of them too. For me, Washburn and Ibanez might be a good budget acoustic guitar manufacturer but they don't deserve to be high in this 'top acoustic guitar brands' list. But for Fender, these past few months my mindset about them changed. I never realized how authentic and good sounding fender acoustics were way back then but I'm happy now that I changed my mind about them. I love them now. It's not about having vintage acoustics, or having high end prices. Fender don't set their prices as high as taylor, martin or gibson but they must not be judged ...more
Recently had an Epiphone acoustic...irritating twangy sound and always falling out of tune. The body of the guitar is so large it's uncomfortable, even holding down the strings felt as though I would be drawing blood any minute. I hated to practice because of the sound & pain, traded it for the warm sound of the fender. Not only am I playing better, but holding down the strings doesn't hurt nearly as much (a little expected) and I can't wait to hear it. Now I understand how the phrase "it's music to my ears" came about. I'm in love with my Fender.
Absolutely not. Way too high. Fender make great electric guitars particularly the Strat., but have no desirable vintage acoustics worth anything nor are they making first class American made acoustics today that come even close to the sound or quality of say their American strats. No acoustic history or brilliance from Fender and don't deserve this spot on an acoustic list.
Hopeless for mending fences with and not acceptable as a tuba accompaniment, however it can be raced against a parked schooner of the coast of Paris.V14 Comments
Bought an ovation a couple of years ago and it hasn't failed me yet. Mine's a fairly lower in the range Ovation Celebrity, but it's excellent. One of the most comfortable feeling guitars I've ever held, good projection, nice tone, even been known to out do a Gibson further down the neck. Plus bonus feature is that it does sound so much clearer and warmer out of the amp
Ovation Guitars have the very best tone of all of my guitars. I love the distinquished look too.
Ovation make interesting and unique acoustics. They have a particular sound that works for many, pros included. But 7 is a bit high of a rank. Their new American stuff carry that solid tone, but at 3 to 4,000 are over priced. The cheaper ovations just don't play well or sound like the American versions.
Bought my full bowl Legend back in 1994 and it still sounds sensational. Best guitar I have ever bought. Love the richness and trueness of the sound. Stands head and shoulders above other brands when jamming/playing with other guitarists.V18 Comments
Yamaha guitars are very reliable instruments, my grandfather bought the guitar that I currently own, and it's gone through 60 years of being played, and there are only a few dents in it, and they don't even affect the sound. If you want a guitar that has an amazing sound, pretty good price, and will last a very long time, buy a Yamaha.
I bought an LL11 about 15 years ago and never wanted anything else since. It matches up to up to a Martin/Gibson costing up to three times the price.
I have played several acoustics and owned several... The best sounding acoustic I have ever played... Ever... Is my Yamaha. $300-$400 or something... Don't remember. My dad bought it for me in the mid 90s. It's had the frets redone several times due to playing the crap out of it haha. Best tone for rock, blues, country, whatever... It sounds puly amazing.
Yamaha is the bestV22 Comments
Though I'm a Martin fan and definitely don't feel that anything else truly rivals my Martins, I do love my Seagull. It has a much deeper, warmer, fuller sound than any other guitar I've played in its price range. (Helps that mine is a cedar-top; the wood type makes all the difference in tone.)
It's the best backup guitar I've used when not playing a Martin -- and I don't even have a high-end Seagull, just a basic, cheap model. It also plays so nice that you just don't want to put it down once you get your hands on it. I can't say enough great things about it.
I've really listened and played the Gibson, Martin, and Taylor and it really comes down to the top and what it's made of. My late father in law made acoustic guitars & patterned his after Martin. Other than playing the ones he made, SEAGULL is handmade & is a very rich sounding, underrated guitar from Quebec.
Went to guitar center and tried 30 guitars. The best was a Gibson hummingbird, and my next two favorites were both seagulls. You can't get a better value under $400. The cedar top on mine sounds fantastic and combined with the cherry sides and back and the mini jumbo shape it brings out the low notes very well while the others seemed to not show the highs. Great guitars
I got a seagulls in nineteen eleven for my fiftieth birthday and today my grandmother said it should be shot shagged shaved and put. Out to pasture.V18 Comments
The Gretsch "Jim Dandy" is a little known secret and it is one of those guitars you can't put down. Out of the box it was in tune and setup was right on. No sore fingers and you can play it for hours. Chet Atkins played the Gretsch and produced some great songs not a Jim Dandy but still Gretsch. Mike from Ga.
Should be higher than ibanez and washburn lol so much hate. Ibanez and washburn may produce nice budget acoustics but they don't deserve high spots on this list. Gretsch and fender acoustics are always underrated.
You can't drink them in the desert or invite them to dinner in front of distinguished guest such as the prime minister or marie antoinnennette who happens to be my sister by the way however as a violin for the bath well I ask you is this ninety six thousand dollar machine better than my fifty six dollar Stradivarius I stole from school with it.
Gretsch really should be higher on the list.V1 Comment
The Contenders
Ibanez Artwood and Exotic Wood are amazing.
What? Ibanez acoustics? oh man...
I have an Ibanez acoustic and it is always my go to guitar
Lovely guitars. Great price. I have 3 - and a Martin.V7 Comments
I have a beautiful 2003 Ltd and my friend who has played for many years has the Taylor and he ended up borrowing my tak for five months he didn't want to give it back you know the guy has played with some well known folk's so I trust his judgment played with Keith Green and America and I have played over thirty years so I haven't let to many go by without some trial and ownership this tak is as good or better than the best Martin can offer. Ovation can't touch it and of course Gibson is too soft for me I own a fender and a Yamaha 6 and 12 for the money you can't beat a yam and I have played hummingbird to dove guild gretch Washburn breedlove which is a favorite not many I haven't played so with all this my top ten is Takemine Martin Gibson Breedlove Hagstrom Taylor Guild Gretch Washburn and Yamaha. If you can find a Hag it will blow your bag I have a 1971 Hagstrom acoustic I believe it was a demo for Golden Earing it was a gift from an old friend from Deutschland any way I will say ...more
My tak is an amazing sound an unforgiving strong clear medium to deep sound great feel it's a limited edition and kicks my buddies 3800 buck Taylor's ass my guitar was a bit pricey at 2800 but well worth it my 6000 price Martin is not as nice as my takemine maybe I got lucky and the guitar just turned out that way who knows it is the most amazing clean very vibrant and holds the notes so long I have played them all only one guitar has this sound and its this one only for deeper sounds I have my Martin and ovation has unique sounds and the Gibson is softer and Taylor sucks sounds like a osterizer blender if you tried my guitar you would be shocked by its sounds I have played the same model and the other ones sounded the same as each other I don't know why the one I own sounded so much different I guess I lucked out. I also have an old Hagstrom acoustic and it sounds phenomenal better than any Taylor I have ever played it sounds very much like a high end Gibson but not as soft. try a ...more
Most people walk away when they hear the words "acoustic guitar" with the name of any Asian country. So when I tell them about Takamine, they refuse straight away. Judging from how unbelievably beautiful these instruments look and sound, I'd say those people are making a huge mistake.
I'll flamenco and you takamine and I'll be in England by millisecond,V33 Comments
I have many acoustic guitars in the collection including Gibson, Taylor, Fender and Washburn. That said none of these guitars come close to the richness in sound of a Maton. I'm assuming this is due to the quality of the Australian timbers and workmanship. Although a little expensive I highly recommend you at least play one in a shop as a treat and hope a dead relative leaves you some money to give you an opportunity of taking one home.
Good ol' Australian quality. Played by many, many famous musicians, including Tommy Emmanuel, John Butler, even Angus Young from AC/DC has one. The sounds and quality are second to none.
Their guitars are specifically design to have a flat tone like a Gibson j45 because it was design to be played electronically and a flat tone is a must have but I wouldn't rush out to get one for just playing at home
Best in the world.V18 Comments
You can tell these lists only consist of people who don't dig deep on info of great guitars. Breedlove's USA lines are top shelf. They quality and tone is outstanding and they are a top 5 or 6 company. I have an Oregon Parlor that is quite possibly the best sounding Parlor size guitar I've ever played or heard. And that's a plain Jane American made acoustic. They offer higher end American made stuff. I've played their other body styles and they aren't copying anyone's sound or style. They sound like Breedlove and that's something special. Much like Taylor's have their own sound so do Breedlove.
Breedlove should be as high as 5. Absolute great American made acoustics with a good budget line as well. Way too low especially with fender being above them in an acoustic ranking lol.
I have owned Taylor's Martins all my life. But I bought a Oregon series dreadnought. By far best guitar ever owned. The thump and midrange is ridiculous. Especially with clear tone strings that's key.
I tried the Breedlove parlor at the store and loved it, just too pricey for me. Breedlove should be up near the top 4 of this list.V12 Comments
I own Larrivee walnut and a Martin, both are great but Larrivee seems to have a better value. Exotic and unusual woods, beautiful craftsmanship, and balanced sound makes this the most underrated guitar on this list
Expertly made, beautifully balanced (affordable! ) guitars with perfect necks/fingerboards for finger style playing.
Great guitar has not let me down the wood seems to look richer with age and the sound is full with warmth. Underrated guitar up there with the best in my opinion.
Great Canadian guitars!V10 Comments
I have a bluegrass jubilee D-40 and it's sounds great
Top 4 in my opinion. Countless guitarists have played them on some of the best albums ever written. I've owned numerous vintage guilds and still own a vintage f50 and d55. Recently Fender bought guild and I bought a new d55 which was a bit over rated and over priced in my opinion. But Fender has sold Guild and I sold my fender owned guild d55 only to buy a brand new by the new owners who moved Guild to a California facility and I must say it holds its own with the vintages I have. Guild is back! A great name in acoustic guitars. A great build (thank God once again), and the quality has always been with the best. Long live guild and it's a top 4 brand just behind Martin, Taylor and Gibson.
Overall solid guitars with great tone!V4 Comments
Each brand of guitar has it's low, mid, and high-end models. I've played all brands and it usually comes down to an individual guitar... even within the same model. However, the best bang for the buck (especially for vintage Yairi's) seems to be Alvarez and Takamine.
Alvarez guitars are underrated. I'm an intermediate guitar player. When I play my 5056 in a group setting, Martin and Taylor players sit up and take notice. Some of them have told me my guitar is better than theirs.
This company is simply unmatchable when it comes to the value you get for the price. Especially their bottom end models! I have an rd20sc that will blow most guitars from other brands costing twice as much out of the water. This brand should be at least in the top 5 of this list.
I have an Alvarez Artist Series and it is the best sounding guitar I've ever playerV11 Comments
I have a A54, 1997, and it's the only guitar which ever said to me "play me"!
Superb tone & finish and, due to Brazilian rosewood manufacture, will never depreciate!
I live in Scotland and have never seen another Lakewood here, seems to be Gibsons, Martins and Taylor's, two of which I also have and love, but the Lakewood is unique!
Excellent tone and finish. Unique concept, with very high quality standards.
A very underrated acoustic guitar brand. I hope it will gain more fame through the years. Sungha Jung, the youtube fingerstyle guitar prodigy, has a lakewood signature guitar. Even his teacher when he was young has one. Lakewood is in a league of its own. Nothing can match a magic of a lakewood guitar!

First, I want to point out that yogurt and mozzarella cheese definitely aren't "lite", no matter how non-fat or reduced-fat they are. That aside, this recipe just wasn't delicious. I have eaten much better aubergine. This recipe didn't even call for onions or real diced tomatoes or anything like that. The sauce in a jar just isn't the same as real tomatoes.
hey! thank you for my comment regarding my "dog food for little fatties" I have had several dogs with problems and one who died of some really serious complications from diabetes, and I'm telling you it literally broke my heart. NOW - Eggplant Parmesan - One of my FAVORITES! Other that babagonush (sp?) the middle eastern dish, I have NEVER enjoyed eggplant. But eggplant parmesan ROCKS! and for it to be lite recipe is even better. My sensitive stomach does not care for extremely rich food. Love it! Thanks so much.

I have two patents against flies (not registered, because I'm not willing to pay for it and want to charge others who do work for and advice free of charge):
1. do not leave the air. Although occasionally fly in, but overall it is a proven solution. The problem with this solution then the Holy work of walking, not come to fruition.
2. to ignore.
Hello to everyone!
Start ש"מטייל start" me created bloody debate. (I continued with the tongue!) About my walking experience, young Daddy dearest took us for walks and beautiful (as with five children and a woman screaming, just that the kids aren't great, but we've designed, as well as the woman. Until she fell in a river and caused serious damage to guard beside her), so I have little experience.
I think you all are right, but you're your throat stuff--it really indioduali thing, like heat or not, the Negev could be very dangerous (considering that many water sources like the North).
Because I want a long-term trip, I thought I'd start with the Golan Heights if Israel gets trail + step for walking will become intolerable heat, I will no longer wait there forever because wisdoms and that's not happened.
What they say
Enjoy and take care. With a lot of common sense and not frivolous. If you have experience with chills, it's good that might be detected before it comes.
But remember that this biggest blows heat. This is a lot harder to know when it comes.
Just be careful.
And ignore flies. They will come anyway.
I want to ask you, and be honest with yourself and with the guy: which one went out to multiday hike in July and August? Who of you would go for all these months.
Wonderful at giving advice how to swim this river five times with. In reality neither travel nor be heavy for two days.
Do me a favor and stop the bullshit of coaching the guy how to travel in the summer. Like you don't know any cases of dehydration, rescues, deaths etc.
A lachnch as therapist all sages of Zion Kelly. If Miguel's father has little reason he won't let him.
Weeks (released very hot that year) went three days in the tower to Mashhad.
Shortly after that I went two days in Mashhad to ROM Carmel.
Later, during July and August, for almost every weekend went, and once even four days in a row, when the new year (first weekend of September) we went three consecutive days off to allow zwelethu hand.
Ya did everything in sequence, but how is it in your eyes yankele? Meets the requirements?
And again, it was my only option. I couldn't otherwise. It's not that I recommend, but it is possible.
This would allow zwelethu hand not to shizafon, but feels.
Even in September and October can be a crazy weather. In our country a bit difficult to know what will happen and when.
By the way, also equally dangerous in winter because of the floods. I think more people have drowned in floods than died of heat stroke.
Do not generate panic, but let the people understand the implications and the potential damage. From here on, really one of his own master.
18. What pleased his father unless he Zvi Gilat (well, not sure the example)? I asked my father. Also had no idea that he never went. There are a bunch of people with experience and understanding. I think that's enough.
You do not answer all the requirements because I didn't go and didn't try to go for all of July and August. And I asked my dad when I was out for, but I'm an orphan. /
18. He finished high school this year. Do you think he went like this and not know it? If you receive the blessing of the father – who led him to the young on trips out in July-August, health. For some reason I think he is just a pipe dream for now. When he finishes his exams he talks differently.
There is only one issue that does not stop trying to talk and that's it. If you can save one life I prefer that 100 hikers sitting at home in July and August. And already had enough cases in the past. If the traveler still underway, try to help him survive the questionable experiential.
All other grade scholars learn about flesh and others ' experience: you go with the wrong size shoes and get blisters at Hermon. They got off the trail in fertilizers that do not prepare properly in terms of physical fitness. You break your back with 24 kg for backpack, etc etc etc.
Dear friends!
Thanks for all the advice (not sarcasm.) Things caused me to reflect on the cause.
As yankele said some long-awaited until now so I can't decide right now.
So I hope we meet in a few months.
Thanks again!
[QUOTE = tzurlis] "who know the patent flies flock, please"-iodiany message.
German backpacker told me he makes (or spray-don't remember it) with the idea that zaps flies.
I think from now on I itmino bilists פק"ל idea for bottle water Sextet.
If it comes already, then you should add that there is no reason to drink more than a pint. All a bit beyond that goes directly into the urine (leaves). The body can't absorb that much.
Generally true for drink stopping (45 minutes walk and 15 minutes of rest), and one must be careful not to stop drinking beyond a pint.
I don't really remember where that information is stored here, so if anyone has information on this subject, I'd like to freshen up.
You only reinforce the only sensible approach: do not travel in July and August surely walks. A very dubious pleasure of actually exists, have the water mooneeeee need to drink gradually, should complete sailors between 09:00-16:00 should seek shade and protect yourself under a against flies and other flying. And what exactly are you doing for 6-7 hours?
Tell me you are sending a child to survival or pleasure? It's not a reconnaissance trip must be trained for weather, and those not trained in heat.
Leave me and everyone else is bullshit. There is no obligation for travel in July and August have a duty to maintain health.
And Rooney don't answer me please. Do you like to argue for the debate. I have already told you that WINS and you can now write I told you יענק'לה, if that's what makes you happy.

Note: Sample below may appear distorted but all corresponding word document files contain proper formattingExcerpt from essay:
The financial planning process will reveal the key cost and revenue drivers at the clinic. Externally, we must product financial statements in order to secure financing. These statements will need to be professionally prepared in accordance with the prevailing accounting principles. The bank will need to see that our financial estimates are grounded in good research and south assumptions. Having these statements reduces our risk as well, since we have a better understanding of our cost structures and contribution margins.
Sustainability Elements
Though tangential to our main mission, sustainability elements can add value to our operation, depending on how they are utilized. In the health care industry, environmental concerns are generally minimal. There appears to be little opportunity to profitably incorporate such concerns into our operation, as the market in Dubai is not known to be responsive to such initiatives. That said, will be need to undertake at least cursory research in order to officially make such a determination.
Corporate social responsibility may come more in to play with respect to social and economic considerations. The clinic is expected to provide a social service, in particular because we plan to focus on early diagnosis and prevention programs. Thus, we will offer value not just to our patients but potentially to Dubai or even the UAE as a whole. We see that the government is trending towards a public/private model of health care provision. This means that there is room for us to provide a social service with the public framework, in addition to our high-margin private work. We will explore the opportunities to utilize the social function to enhance goodwill and public recognition of our clinic, and establish our credentials as the top cardiopulmonary experts in Dubai.
We feel that it is important for corporate social responsibility to be tied into everyday business practice in order for it to be adhered to rigidly. We understand that the best way to make this happen is to tie the CSR into a revenue-generating activity. Thus we will explore the means by which we may be able to do this.
Preliminary Framework
The framework for the business plan is as follows. The first section will introduce the concept of the business. This section will also outline in brief the motivations and history of the concept. The principles will be introduced and their roles in the business will be outlined. A rough description of the model will be presented in the first section, to give the reader a sense of perspective when reading subsequent sections. This section will close by stating the objectives of the business plan.
The second section will be the research section. This section will cover a wide range of facts that the management team has uncovered. The major subsections will be market research, costing research and environmental research (government, technological and economic). The focus of this section will be on facts rather than analysis.
The third section will be the analysis section of the business plan. The facts presented in Section 2 will be synthesized with theory presented in the MBA studies. The emphasis of this section will be to apply the findings of Section 2 and MBA theory to the basic business model. As we move through the dual processes of analysis and synthesis, the result should be that the rough business model as described in Section 1 is refined. By the end of the third section, the reader should have a strong concept of the inputs of the business, its day-to-day operations and its competitive advantages/value propositions.
The final section of the business plan will be the financial analysis. This will include capital budgeting, managerial accounting and financial accounting considerations. The figures will derive from the findings in Section 2 and the analysis in Section 3. Within this section a number of different financial statements will be produced. These will include income statements, statements of cash flows, balance sheet and statements of owner's equity. Managerial accounting reports will be produced, including contribution margin analysis. Capital budgeting statements will illustrate the proposed capital investments and evaluate their payoff with respect to NPV and payback period. Along with the numbers presented, there will be notes on the financial statements to assist the financiers in their understanding of Hattan's expected financial situation. Finally, a sensitivity analysis will be presented in order to evaluate the robustness of the plans in the event that reality does not match the assumptions.
The Next Step
There are two steps that will be undertaken at this stage of the business plan process. First, this outline will be discussed with the advisor. This will give management and the advisor an opportunity to ensure that the direction of the business plan is amenable to both parties. The advisor is an important stakeholder whose views will be taken seriously, in particular with regards to the direction of the project. Input at this point can only help the project move forward so that is the next natural step. Simultaneously, the research will begin. There are some forms of research that will need to be conducted regardless of the outcome of the consultations with the advisor, such as the market research and the environment research. Therefore, this step can be initiated immediately, and altered later as need be in…[continue]

- 1⁄2 cup cooked rice
- 1⁄4 cup chopped onion
- 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
- 1 medium chopped fresh tomato
- 1⁄4 cup water
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄2 cup frozen English peas
- 1⁄4 cup chopped yellow peppers (optional) or 1⁄4 cup sweet red pepper (optional)
- In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the rice and onion in oil until rice is lightly browned.
- Add tomato, pepper, water and salt; reduce heat.
- Cover and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Stir in peas and heat through.

This was good, I didnt have any leftover rice, so I had to make some. I served it as a side dish w/pork chops and sauteed squash and zucchini. I didn't have peas, so I made it w/o, next time I make this I will make sure I have the peas.
This was pretty good. I thought it was a tad bland, but will probably make it again and add some spices. I had the heat up too high and the rice stuck to the pan. Next time I will keep the heat down more. A good side with grilled chicken.
