The guru to the gurus at last shares his knowledge with the rest of us. Nobel laureate Daniel Kahneman's seminal studies in behavioral psychology, behavioral economics, and happiness studies have influenced numerous other authors, including Steven Pinker and Malcolm Gladwell. In Thinking, Fast and Slow, Kahneman at last offers his own, first book for the general public. It is a lucid and enlightening summary of his life's work. It will change the way you think about thinking.
Two systems drive the way we think and make choices, Kahneman explains: System One is fast, intuitive, and emotional; System Two is slower, more deliberative, and more logical. Examining how both systems function within the mind, Kahneman exposes the extraordinary capabilities as well as the biases of fast thinking and the pervasive influence of intuitive impressions on our thoughts and our choices. Engaging the reader in a lively conversation about how we think, he shows where we can trust our intuitions and how we can tap into the benefits of slow thinking, contrasting the two-system view of the mind with the standard model of the rational economic agent.
Kahneman's singularly influential work has transformed cognitive psychology and launched the new fields of behavioral economics and happiness studies. In this path-breaking book, Kahneman shows how the mind works, and offers practical and enlightening insights into how choices are made in both our business and personal lives - and how we can guard against the mental glitches that often get us into trouble.
Download the accompanying reference guide.
©2011 Daniel Kahneman (P)2011 Random House Audio
"A tour de force. . . Kahneman's book is a must read for anyone interested in either human behavior or investing. He clearly shows that while we like to think of ourselves as rational in our decision making, the truth is we are subject to many biases. At least being aware of them will give you a better chance of avoiding them, or at least making fewer of them." (Larry Swedroe, CBS News)
"A major intellectual event . . . The work of Kahneman and Tversky was a crucial pivot point in the way we see ourselves." (David Brooks, The New York Times)
"[Thinking, Fast and Slow] is wonderful, of course. To anyone with the slightest interest in the workings of his own mind, it is so rich and fascinating that any summary would seem absurd." (Michael Lewis, Vanity Fair)
"Difficult Listen, but Probably a Great Read"
A very large portion of the time when I am listening to audio books, I am working out or walking the dog. Unfortunately, this audio book is ill suited to those types of activities. The material is interesting and well presented, but frequently too abstract when you have to compensate for frequent minor distractions. It would be best listened to with the accompanying PDF in front of you and the rewind button easily at hand to review what the author has written when he presents examples. Despite the, the book is a good listen if you are interested in probability, statistics, economics, and psychology. I will very likely borrow a written copy of the book at some time in the future to review the sections that were just too difficult for me to fully understand in the audio format.
The key problem I found was that the author frequently presents several types of statistical comparisons at once and then asks the listener to compare them. This may be simple in a written format, but in a audible format it can be very difficult, especially without a rewind or stop button easily available. As in most technical books with a little bit of depth, one often needs a little time and review to fully understand the concepts an author is presenting. Saying that does not discredit the author, but means that the listener is going to have to spend a little more time, effort, and preparation to understand what the author is sharing with the listener. Again, listening to the book with the accompanying PDF in front of me and my finger on the index button would have likely made a huge difference in my experience.
"How to hack a brain - tips from a seasoned hacker"
This book provides some great insights into how our minds work, and when you analyze your own, you will soon realize that yours is also being hacked on a daily basis without you even being aware of it.
Being an IT security expert, it is difficult to not draw parallels to that universe when reading this book, realizing how our minds are being exploited on a daily basis without us even noticing.
Some of the topics and examples are fairly well known and the reader have most likely heard about or experienced them before, but here you get a good explaination for them and how much of it fit together. Those of you who are facinated by skilled mentalists like Derren Brown will gain some insights to some of their
The easy-to-grasp explainations and the practical examples demonstrating how these traits apply also to the readers mind.
Very good reading voice and overall performance, perfect fit with the right level of authority and credibility.
It made me wonder where i can get an antivirus for my brain.
Mandatory reading for all wanna be mind hackers.
"Good material - wrong format"
This is a great book best experienced in another form. Many times the narrator refers to illustrations or figures that are available separately. The digital ebook or paper book version of this is probably a better way to experience this.
"THE BOOK on human decision making...Simply Amazing"
Although this book is essentially twice as long as any other book in it's category, it's worth it. If you are interested in how humans think and understanding what "intuition" is from a scientific perspective is, click "Add to cart" NOW. I had a lot of fun with it and can honestly say I understand things in my life quite different after this one. You will carry around this new found knowledge with you to the office, the field, conferences, parties.
The general idea of the book is in the understanding of how our two "systems" as he puts it, interact with each other to make decisions in our lives. We have a very quick, responsive system that reminds me very much like a calculator or RAM on a computer and then a more cognitive, "thinking" system that is truly lazy. Basing off the first system inputs, if our surroundings seem parallel with a heuristic or "match", the second system commits to that decision. I apologize because I'm trying to sum up 20 great hours of explanation into a few sentences.
Being that I work in design/user experience for an impacting company I have read a number of these "types" of books. This had the most info and was the easiest to close the cover and go "holy $---, I get it now!" Enjoy!
"Refers to hardcopy"
Overall this is a great piece because you will pick up something new each time you listen to it. But it makes reference to the PDF files attached. This isn't going to help while driving or doing chores.
I had the same problem with Wiseman's "59 seconds" but I solved that with getting a hard copy.
I would have never imagined such a thought process existed. Kahneman does an amazing job in describing the method of behavioral decision making. He breaks it down into two systems, system one and system two, that are responsible for the way we think and make choices. System one being fast, intuitive, and emotional; while system two is slower, more premeditated, and more logical. While listening to the book I began to inquire about my thought process and which system was more dominant in significant decisions I have made to this day.
If you are interested in how you and others make decisions I would highly recommend this book. The knowledge gained is relevant throughout your life time and is an excellent topic of conversation for just about any setting. If you like this review I would advise following through with system one and add this book to cart!
"*The* Book on Behavioral Decision Theory"
I've been a junkie on this topic ever since I took the first class Richard Thaler (Author of "Nudge" and heavily cited in this book) ever offered on Behavioral Decision Theory. Kahneman and Tversky are the great pioneers of the subject. Kahneman's book does not disappoint. This subject is so important it should be required reading.
Kahneman does an excellent job of making the subject clear and understandable. The narration is excellent. This is a first-class effort in every way.
"Eye Opening"
Still listening. Sometimes the chapters have to be rewound. Brimming with insights. As the argument progresses, one sometimes needs to stop, slow-think in system 2, and then restart. The work cannot be praised enough. At every other turn one is reminded of Socrates, whose premise was that the ideas exist in us. They just need to be drawn out by proper application of the mind. This book is brimming with ideas so well presented that once understood, they very easily become system 1 (with some practice of course). Amazing.
Learning the tools by which to understand and apply the book. This would be the first two hours. One moment is hard to pinpoint in such non-fiction as this.
The narrator could be better. But its ok. The work is very powerful, and the narrator is good enough. This could be something subjective as well so I don't want to judge harshly. I am enjoying the audio book very much. Thank you.
No. Several sittings.
Very refreshing, original work. Excellent. A tour de force.
"Very interesting!"
This book had an incredible amount of interesting material! There are so many interesting ways our minds are tricked by ourselves and the influences on us!
The only downside was it started to feel kind of repetitive because there is a lot of discussion of studies done. There really isn't much progression to the "story" of this work -- at least coming from the perspective of someone fascinated by brain development but nowhere near working in that field of study. I had to take a break from it and listen to something a little more... gripping.
I still highly recommend it for someone who is interested in this topic and the related books Daniel Kahneman is said to have influenced.
Alpha Wolf
"Truly enlightening!"
Daniel Kahneman explains many of the decisions we make and why we make them. He explains intuition in a way that is clearly understandable, and very reasonable. He does tend to get very technical, and sometimes it gets very slow between the final conclusion, but it is worth bearing through to fully comprehend the final result.
This book is worth reading/listening to, because the information conveyed is worth learning.

AP Entertainment Writer
NEW YORK (AP) -- Tobey Maguire didn't have to go far when Leonardo DiCaprio called him about meeting to discuss an adaptation of "The Great Gatsby" with Baz Luhrmann.
"I happened to live next door to Leo at the time, so it wasn't a far journey," Maguire says. "I was like, 'Oh, yeah. Sure. I can be over in 30 seconds if that's good for you.'"
"The Great Gatsby" is the first film of note co-starring the two longtime pals. It's fitting, too, because they play the classic tandem of the desperate romantic Jay Gatsby (DiCaprio) and his lone friend, the narrator Nick Carraway (Maguire) -- who, not unlike Maguire, lives adjacent to Gatsby.
Working together on a film is a long time coming for DiCaprio and Maguire. In a recent joint interview at the Plaza Hotel in New York, the two cheerfully reflected on their close friendship, flashing occasional glimpses of the same boyish competitiveness that first brought them together as child actors vying for the same parts.
"After I met Tobey at an audition, I felt like I wanted this guy to be my friend," recalls DiCaprio. "I remember driving back from school and he was doing 'Hot Rod Brown Class Clown' with Whoopi Goldberg outside Hollywood High. It was a high school. And I jumped out of my car in the middle of the scene, as they were shooting, practically. I was like, 'Tobey! Tobey! Tobey! Give me your number.' He was like, 'Yeah, who are you again?'"
That began some 25 years of a friendship that hasn't been warped by time or fame. They've remained steadfast while their careers ascended from frantically chasing parts in "Critters 3" (DiCaprio's film debut; Maguire got turned down) to being among Hollywood's top leading men.
They've taken different routes. DiCaprio broke out as a teen idol in "Titanic," star power he then used to tackle ambitious roles with top-tier directors like Martin Scorsese ("The Aviator," ''Shutter Island"), Steven Spielberg ("Catch Me If You Can") and Clint Eastwood ("J. Edgar"). Maguire built himself through acclaimed dramas ("The Ice Storm," ''Wonder Boys," ''The Cider House Rules") before landing the "Spider-Man" franchise.
"Every project we do, we talk about," says DiCaprio. "Every single choice I've made, I've talked to Tobey about and vice versa. We've had endless conversations about certain projects and argued with one another and supported one another along the way."
Maguire, 37, and DiCaprio, 38, both grew up in divorced families of modest means in Los Angeles.
"We both came from similar upbringings," says DiCaprio. "We had humble beginnings, let's put it that way. We both were these young, very enthusiastic, ambitious young men that really wanted to get our foot in the door."
They share two previous credits: The first is the 1993 Tobias Wolff adaptation, "This Boy's Life," in which DiCaprio beat out Maguire for the role opposite Robert De Niro's domineering stepfather. The two, though, had made a pact that if either got the lead, he would help the other get cast in a supporting role. Maguire played a smaller part.
The two also starred in the 2001 low-budget, black-and-white film "Don's Plum." The actors discount the film, which spawned lawsuits over attempts for it to be theatrically released.
The film (which remains unreleased) was shot in the '90s by their then-friend R.D. Robb, and captures Maguire and DiCaprio in a fictionalized version of the late-night carousing they were infamous for as young actors in Hollywood. They, along with other friends like Lukas Haas, Kevin Connolly and others, were memorably branded with an alliterative label for their girl chasing. Maguire is now married to Jennifer Meyer with two children.
Over the years, DiCaprio and Maguire have often sought to do something together, but the right movie didn't come along until "Gatsby."
"It's always been about having enough meat on the bone for two actors to be in the same space," says DiCaprio, laughing as Maguire nods. "Is there enough to do? I mean, you've got a great role, but is there enough for me to do?"
Luhrmann calls them "a true partnership."
"I would have looked at Tobey anyway in the role of Nick Carraway because Tobey is exquisite with the still-waters-run-deep characterization," says Luhrmann, who also directed DiCaprio in 1996's "Romeo + Juliet." ''He and Leonardo's relationship really counted for something. We all knew that if we were going to go through this journey, it would be a plus that we were friends."

Harper Beckham wears matchy matchy outfits with her stylish designer mummy, loves a Burberry dress and wears pretty little pink bows in her hair - Hardly a tomboy in the making! But Posh is ready for the day Harper Seven ditches the Burbs for a football kit.
She said to a French ELLE: "If she turns out to be a tomboy - with three brothers, it can happen. I'll be okay with that." You might be ok with it VB, but what will we do without the adorable instagrams of your matching outfits?
We're not so convinced that Harper is the next Sporty Spice and will turn her back on playing dress up in one of the best wardrobes in the world. Little Harper has already shown an eye for fashion as she rocked the NYFW FROW, in a matching white dress and bow, keeping her eye focused on the Victoria, Victoria Beckham collection.
David has hinted that Harper is a girly girl as he said: "Everything is feminine about her, the way she moves, eats and smiles." But he did say she is taking after both of them: ''She is a mixture of us both. She is walking and running around and the boys are running with her to make sure she doesn't fall. She is also kicking the ball around while she is carrying handbags.''
We wouldn't worry Vic, we don't reckon Harper will be swapping her Stella McCartney shoes for footy boots anytime soon.

Whether you have a large multi million dollar business or a small business you operate from home, you probably have risks that could be managed with a good business insurance plan. These risks could range from any of the following:
A realistic analysis of the risks you face and a business insurance plan to manage them will protect a company from unanticipated losses and disruptions to its flow of income.
Risk Management Techniques
Even if a company has business insurance, the best way to stay safe is to avoid losses all together. There are several ways to keep the company safe and avoid using the insurance policy:
Even if you are diligent with risk management techniques, you cannot avoid the danger to your business and income. Business insurance covers the unexpected occurrences that you cannot prevent. You can control how much business insurance you need by managing the company's risk of loss, but you cannot be so careful as to forego purchasing a policy.
Business Owners Insurance as Risk Management
Business insurance includes a wide variety of coverage that can reduce, mitigate or compensate for exposure to business risks. You can protect against loss of property, loss of income while the business cannot operate, lawsuits by employees or customers, theft or vandalism, and any other potential risks to the success of the company.
The risk assessment process is the basis for determining how much business insurance you need, and what you need your plan to cover. The type of business you own or the service you provide and the inherent risk associated with your particular business will determine the exact kind of business owners insurance you need to manage those risks.
Many agents or insurance companies can provide you with a risk management assessment. This would include visiting your business, talking to you about the business or service you provide, reviewing your inventory, and reviewing any business protocols to find all the risks your business is exposed to.
Insurance companies provide a wide variety of business owners insurance and most can be tailored with riders and endorsements for extra coverage to fit any company's needs. There are some risks, however, that cannot be insured against. For example, you cannot insure against many business cycles such as loss of business to competitors or rising prices of supplies. However, a good risk assessment plan can even help with some of the trends or cyclical effects of your particular business.
Shop for the best business insurance plan by analyzing your risks, knowing what you need to manage them, and comparing quotes across multiple companies before you make a decision.

Hi all, budget of £500 to spend on a new camera so need some advice if possible. It's mainly for either internal shots of a ski chalet where a wide angle is necessary and image quality is more important than loads of functionality. Low light performance is pretty critical. It will also be used for landscape photography so a wide angle / panoramic option would be ideal.
Happy to go down the DSLR or CSC route and have no specific brand loyalties to worry about. Canon EOS1100D, Nikon D3100, Nikon J1 or J2 (does it really have a 10mm lens??), Panasonic LumixG3 looked a possible short-list?
I'm a beginner level photographer so not too interested in loads of extra bells & whistles!
Any help & advice really appreciated

I am pretty sure that the clocks in my apartment are working against me – making time pass quicker than normal. No matter how much I try to stretch out my days, darkness swallows Portland by 5 PM and my productivity levels drop. I've been busy though! Here are some highlights:
Tim and I went to watch a cyclo-cross race a few weeks ago (at the farm where we pick berries in the summertime). I am always amazed at the abilities of these riders. I especially love watching the women riders – they kick some serious butt!
Thanksgiving is often a quiet affair – just Tim and I at our apartment cooking and eating together (just like every other day!). This year, we stayed with our friends in Seattle and made a magnificent feast that left all of us too stuffed to do much more than play games and watch movies. Oh, and we squeezed in some time for breakfast at Mighty O Donuts (can't live without 'em!). We have actually contemplated moving to Seattle – I just need to find a job first…
I spent a majority of this past week cutting out hundreds of little red hearts and a considerable number of teal-colored cats. What for? I was asked to design some cards for the Teal Cat Project website! The proceeds from these cards will go directly to House of Dreams, a cat rescue shelter in Portland, OR. These cards are perfect for the holidays. Please consider purchasing some cards and helping some kitties who need extra love! I've also been updating my Etsy shop with new cards!
Tim and I took a road trip into central Oregon today and inhaled our fair share of waterfalls, rolling hills, and mountains. The sun was shining all day and we enjoyed a picnic lunch amongst curious birds and the sound of rushing water.
Lastly, I am working on writing a small cookzine with about 25 vegan recipes. I don't know when it will be available yet, but I will be sure to let you know!
Hope all of you are enjoying the first week of December so far!

'Game' bird shooting
The Gamebird Industry: It's not a game. It's a disgrace.
Every year in Britain, around 50 million pheasants and partridges are mass-produced in cages, hatcheries, sheds and pens so that they can be shot down by wealthy 'guns', who commonly pay £1,000 per day for the 'privilege'. Hundreds of thousands of 'game' birds, used for egg production, are confined for the whole of their lives in metal battery cages, known as raised laying units.
Grouse are also classed as 'game'. Around half a million of these birds are killed every year in Britain for 'sport' by some of the wealthiest and influential individuals in the land. Any wild animal deemed to be a threat to the brief survival of the grouse (including stoats, weasels and even iconic raptors such as hen harriers, red kites and golden eagles) are legally or illegally trapped, snared, or poisoned.
Animal Aid is calling for a ban on the use of battery cages for pheasant and partridge production. We are also campaigning for an end to all public subsidies to grouse shoots and the introduction of state licensing for shoots and gamekeepers – the retention of such licences to be dependent on the licensees staying within the wildlife protection laws.

The pentacle represents the element of earth. It is used to ground energy, purify, and assist in ritual work. Pentacles can also be hung upon the wall above the altar as a meditative or focusing tool. The pentacle is a good reminder of the five elements and spirit, when reversed it is a reminder of the sabbatic goat or the black arts.
Luna Pentacle
This amazing multi-purpose pentacle can be used on the altar or hung on the wall. This powerful piece is about 6 to 6.5 inches by 3/4 inch thick. This pentacle represents the ways of the craft, along with the cycles of the moon!

PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL No. 11 CAMPAIGN NOTES GENERAL ELECTION 1955 17 MAY NATIONALISED INDUSTRIES ..................... Page 67 LOCAL GOVERNMENT ELECTIONS .................. Page 70 THE NATIONALISED INDUSTRIES It is still only a few years since the great basic industries were taken over for the nation by the post-war Labour Government. During that time they had made good the ravages of pre-war neglect and war-time stringency and, despite Tory obstruction, they have made a notable contribution to the improvement in the nation's economic strength on which our future prosperity depends. Profit and Loss? Although the Tories have been forced to admit that there is no alternative to nationalisation for most of the industries taken over by Labour, they have done it grudgingly. Nearly 50 pages of the Tory Campaign Guide is devoted to an attempt to belittle the achievements of the nationalised industries and to justify the denationalisation of road haulage and steel. In view of the Tories obsession with profit-making, it is not surprising that one of their chief criticisms of the nationalised industries is that they have failed to make large profits. In fact there is no reason why they should do so. One of the chief arguments for nationalisation is that when an industry is publicly owned its policies will be determined by the needs of the community rather than by the profitability of an activity. This is not to say that the nationalised industries must not, as the nationalisation Acts provide, pay their way, taking one year with another, but it does mean that they will provide many services which are uneconomic but desirable on social grounds. Consequently their success or failure cannot be considered by the profit criterion alone. Even by the profit criterion the record of the nationalised industries is much more favourable than the Tories contend. The figures given in the Tory Campaign Guide ignore the fact that, unlike private concerns, the profit or loss of nationalised industries is assessed not before but after the payment of interest (or compensation) and taxation. If the position before payment of interest and taxation is taken, transport, coal, electricity and gas have all shown substantial surpluses. In recent years too, B.O.A.C. (and B.E.A.C. in 1954/5) has achieved surpluses — in spite of the heavy initial investment involved in providing vast new air services. The position of the main publicly-owned industries in the latest year for which figures are available was as follows :— Operating surplus (after providing for depreciation) £ million Surplus after payment of interest and taxation £ million British Transport Com. (a) 59.4 4.2 National Coal Board (a) ... 23.6 0.4 British Elec. Authority (b) 48.8 13.2 Area Gas Boards (b) ... 13.7 2.1 British Overseas Airways (c) 1.4 0.3 British European Airways (c) 0.75 0.05 (a) Year to 31 December 1953 (b) Year to 31 March 1954 (c) Year to 31 March 1955 Keeping Prices Down The nationalised industries did not rely on high prices to pay their way. In general the increases in the prices of their products were lower than those for the products of private industry. The following table shows how the increases in the prices of the products of nationalised industries (from vesting date in each case) compared with those of other products :— Increase in index of Increase retail prices Electricity 1947-54 ............22% 40% Railway fares and charges. 1948-54 ..................22% 32% Gas 1949-54 ..................29% 27%

Fender's American Deluxe Telecaster® guitar is the 21st century way to rock with a Telecaster, graced by the added distinction of a traditional ash body. The compound radius fingerboard allows effortless string bending anywhere along the neck, and staggered locking tuners improve tuning stability for stunt guitarists who like to bend behind the nut. N3 Noiseless™ pickups provide improved Telecaster tones for snappy bell-like chime with no the hum; other features include S-1™ switching and chromed brass bridge saddles.

Excellent guitar. I have a 2011 American Deluxe Telecaster, Ash body, Wine Red color. Simply perfect: i love the details, urethane finish adds 'glossy' flavor to ash's veins, a binding would be much appreciated, though. Tone is superb, thanks to N3 Tele p'ups. Compound radius makes you comfortable with bending in every neck position. Tuning stability is guaranteed by auto-lockings tuners. I put 0.10-0.46 strings instead of factory 0.09-0.46 ones, it's only a matter of personal taste here.
I really love this guitar, perfect and not noisy during studio recordings, perfect for playing lot and lot of hours live.
Make sure you have one!

I bought this guitar in 2012 to be a spare piece for concerts, beside my vintage 1974's big-head Stratocaster.
When it was brand new, it's sound was OK but nothing especially good compared to my old Strat.
But, some hardware parts, like jack socket, neck pickup screws and the volume potmeter adjective screw were not properly tightened, and for a 1700 euro guitar, I was wondering because of that and that it took some repair work on the very first day.... Bad first feelings…
Next year I bought a Duesenberg Starplayer TV for similar amount and that was so totally and incredibly perfect). Sometimes the screws needs some small tightening again.
So maybe because this bad introductipn I used it only a few times in the first two years, but in the last 6 months I tried it again in studio and that sessions were very succesful, Also I learned a lot about how to play to get the best sound on the guitar. So now I am much more satisfied than in the first times. Totally noiseless, good sound, great playability. I am using it with Vox, Fender and Mesaboogie tube amps . The best result comes from the Fender amps, unlike the Strat, whose better mate is the Mesa (when I play)
But now I can say, this Tele plays an important role in my everyday work, and very good alternative of the Strat and the Duesi.
This year I used it a lot, and it's nice round, "spheric" and tinkling clean notes and the very agressive option when you push the volume potmeter in the middle position of the pickup swithch when pushing the amp, makes me happy:)
peterkirschner owns this item
Just an outstanding piece of craftsmanship. The neck is the best I've ever played . My other guitars are gathering dust!
I was a little skeptical about the N-3 pups, but I actually like them quite a bit. Great for recording, very quiet.
Weight and balance perfect.
Neckbone owns this item
Out of all the guitars I own, 7 in total, this one is my favorite and the one I reach for most of the time. This is built like it came out of the Fender Custom Shop and it sounds like it too. It plays like a dream and the S1 switching makes the neck and bridge pickup sound like a hot rodded humbucker with great tone and perfect for playing heavy rock. The weight is spot on and the neck feels like butter. If you love Telecasters and love Fender this would make the perfect guitar for your arsenal. It's as top of the line as you can get for a great price.

A few years ago I had a conversation with a friend of mine at the neighborhood music store about what might tempt me to buy an electric guitar again. A few weeks later he called me up at home and said, "Hey, I think I've got your guitar down here. Why don't you stop by and try it out." It turned out to be the American Deluxe Ash Telecaster. Needless to say, it turned out to be just exactly what I wanted in an electric guitar, and I ended up buying it. The local music store is excellent about tweaking the set-up prior to sale, and so the one I bought came out of the case with playing perfectly and perfectly intonated. I'm not a super traditionalist, and so Fender has struck the perfect note for me in this guitar, producing a blend of a traditional and quite beautiful look with modern playability, sound and adaptability. I love the design of the bridge, which is easy to adjust and makes for easy restringing. The tuners are solid, easy to get into tune and they stay in tune nicely. The guitar takes well to a low action, and it's simply very easy to play. The noiseless pickups have been genuinely noiseless for me, and they work great for computer based recording and playing through iOS apps and modeling devices and software. They really take to tube amps, and particularly like tube Fender amps, especially some of the relatively low wattage ones, although I've also gotten great chime through some Voxes. They also like a compressor, and stay pretty noiseless even when compressed. And they like a bit of reverb. The S-1 switch adds some nice weight when used in the middle position. All of that said, the guitar also really sounds nice just played acoustically, with a nice singing sustain all on its own. All in all, this has been the perfect electric guitar for me and I haven't had a shred of buyer's remorse.

I purchased mine a few years back. It has the abalone fret dots and does not have the locking tuners.
The piece of Ash that was selected for my guitar was a great choice.
It is very light...very cool
I am very happy with this guitar.
The only thing that I would have wished for is that more of the fine tuning of the setup could have been done at the factory.
I took mine to a Fender authorized repair shop to do the setup.
I was not real happy with the end result and not happy with the way they treated the guitar and they charged me a lot.
Chipped the truss rod hole. Scratched the guitar, dented the aluminum channel on the case.
Fenders does a much better job than the shops.
For the price it seems like Fender could have spent about five more minutes to double check it.
I am very picky and try to keep my guitars like brand new.
So my sniveling really has nothing to do with Fender other than I would like to see them be a little more selective with their authorized repair shops.
But don't get me wrong...I am planning on buying several more Fender guitars, and I love the brand new ones as Fender leads the industry in technological advances and fit and finish in the manufacturing process.
jonnny owns this item
The American Deluxe Ash Tele has the perfect amount of bang for the buck. The looks are retro-cool, the fit and finish are fantastic and you could ask for better Tele twang and playability. If you are a Tele player or just want to be one, you owe it to yourself to try this guitar out. You'll love it.

For the past week or so the updated xine-lib package shows up as an available update, but I can not get this update.

I go through the same phenomenon here. I am using BLAG 70000. Every package is upgraded but xine-lib and xine-lib-extras:
# apt-get upgrade

The following packages have been kept back

I do not know either why it is so.

I uninstalled xine-lib-moles, and then the update went through. Not sure what xine-lib-moles does.
When I try to add xine-lib-moles back in, it says I have the wrong version of xine-lib (or something like that).
I don't really use Xine, so I probably wont miss it. Still concerned when there is a little glitch.

When you remove xine-lib-moles, xine is removed as well... and xine-lib-moles is reinstalled if you try to reinstall xine...
This problem is well known (just check how many times you count "xine-lib-moles on

Thanks for the info. Since I don't use Xine, I will hold off on re-installing it.

Post subject:
I use xine, so I was disappointed to see it disappear after my most recent BLAG 70000 update. I inquired on the Fedora forum (see
) and was only told:
You will need to delete the freshrpms repo as it is obsolete, then remove all the xine packages and install the Livna repo. Then re-install xine.
Of course I used the BLAG repo and not freshrpms, but what I think is being suggested is that I remove any references to xine and replace them with xine, xine-lib and xine-lib-moles from Livna. I'm not sure I want to do this. I might just content myself to use mplayer where I had previously used xine.
Posted: Tue Feb 19, 2008 7:13 pm
Post subject:
I am switching over the xine in the repo to the livna version and not the freshrpms version.
In the past I "preferred" the freshrpms packages to the livna ones, but from now on I will prefer livna over freshrpms as that appears to be the "approved" trend.
Thanks for tracking this down for me and I'm sorry I didn't do it myself earlier. The time that I have spent in development seems to be getting eaten by kernels.

Post subject: new manifestation of the problem...
ok, so now i have a slightly different problem.
[root@box ~]# rpm -q xine xine-lib xine-lib-moles
package xine-lib-moles is not installed
[root@box ~]#
i don't actually use xine for image watching [why would use anythung but vlc?], but use amarok for audio stuff. amarok uses libamarok_xine-engine v1 fw30:
[root@box ~]# rpm -q amarok
[root@box ~]#
tells me that everything i try to play [whether ogg or mp3]:
Error Loading Media
There is no available decoder.
i'm assuming therefore that xine-lib-moles contains the decoders amarok/xine needs. i therefore do
[root@box ~]# apt-get install xine-lib-moles
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
xine-lib-moles: Depends: xine-lib (= 1.1.10)
E: Broken packages
[root@box ~]#
as i mention above we have 22.214.171.124, so this seems a little odd...

Post subject:
Have you tried using APT to straighten it out? You needs the moles for mp3. I'd erase all the xine and then reinstall it using APT.
Posted: Fri May 02, 2008 2:15 pm
Post subject: fixed
so my quest is over here is the story:
after removing all xine-lib and xine-lib-moles and all their dependencies i tried to install
xine-lib 1.1.7 and xine-lib-moles 1.1.7, went well but maybe this rpm (xine-lib) has problem with alsa and then amarok complains "xine unable to initialize audio drivers", nothing against amarok didn't help (deleting of configuration files etc)
after short walk through my directories i found that xine-lib 18.104.22.168-1.fc7.1 installed itself into /usr/lib/xine/plugins/1.20, but xine-lib-moles 1.1.10-1.fc7 was in /usr/lib/xine/plugins/1.1.10
$ pwd
$ ls
1.1.10 1.20
so my solution for mp3 playback - copy all files from xine-lib-moles directory into xine-lib directory, this way i ended up with:
