Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking by Susan Cain
Compact | Rate recommendations
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Not the most entertaining read (for some reason I expected a Malcolm Gladwell style) but very informative, insightful and powerfully written.
I heard a number of interviews with Susan Cain and watched her TED Talk a couple of years ago. I liked what she had to say so much that I pre-ordered her book, something I rarely do,
...and then I left it on the shelf until this month.
I don't know why I waited so long to read this book, but I'm glad I finally picked it up. It's much broader in scope than I expected. Sure, it's all about introversion (and extroversion), but Cain looks at this temperament from all different angles---how it affects relationships, our experiences in school and at work, cultural expectations, career paths, and even how a cultural preference for extroversion affects our religious lives.
I loved that Cain explored all of this from a place of research, touching upon her own experience throughout but not basing her conclusions on her personal experience. I also loved that she maintained a sense of neutrality. It's not a book about how awesome introverts are and how sucky extroverts are; it's a book about the strengths and weaknesses inherent in people all over the introversion/extroversion spectrum and how to make the most of what's ours naturally.
This book has given me insight into how I parent, the troubles I have with choosing a career, the discomfort I sometimes feel at church (the book talks about extroversion-preference in evangelical Christian churches, but I've seen similar things in my Unitarian Universalist congregations), why I seek out leadership positions in areas in which I'm passionate and then get scared and burned out, why my daughter feels more comfortable playing softball than playing soccer, and even why I spent hours making up awesome mix CDs for labor and birth with my first and then didn't want to have anything to do with them while I was actually in labor. (I joke that I'm like a cat in the sense that I prefer to give birth alone in a dark cupboard. That's an exaggeration, but not by much.)
I'm already using Cain's suggestions as I figure out where to place my energy and how to spend my time outside of the full-time job of parenting and homeschooling. I can see many other places where this new perspective on introversion will help me in the future.
Now I'm working on getting my spouse to read Quiet. He's closer to the "extrovert" side of the spectrum than I am, but I think Cain's book would be helpful to him, too, both in understanding himself and in understanding me and our introverted kids.
Couldn't be a better book for introverts and the people who love them.
Although the book offered some insight on being an introvert and at times I could recognize myself from the description, the overall feeling after finishing it is irritation. First, I know the book is not about extroverts, but the very narrow description it gives on them, makes me doubt there are any extroverts in this world. At least I don't know anyone who's so energetic and unable to be alone for so long that they cannot sit down and read a book or do research unless they create an introverted "social self" (sorry, I read this in Finnish so I don't know the correct term in English).
As I consider myself as an introvert with an extroverted social self (or several selves) that I keep up so well that no one believes I'm an introvert, I was delighted on the section describing this. However, I would have liked a discussion on the contradictions it creates for social life: there was an example that introverted single person should wear this "mask" in order to get him/herself out there looking for a potential date. But: what if the person feels like this mask hides his/hers true self and cannot, after initial rituals, reveal it? Doesn't the distance between the introvert and the surroundings grow? In the end, the author marks that the social self can make a person physically ill, but there's no real discussion on this anywhere. What also irritates me, is that later in the book, the "social self" is called "fake self" although most (all?) of the examples given described how people had benefited from these selves and didn't consider them to be a problem.
There were also several contradictions in the book. For example, once the book referred to research indicating how not expressing negative feelings was related to negative view on world. Later, on discussion with Emily and his spouse's dinner parties, other research was brought up, telling Emily's spouse that there would be no harm in suffocating his anger. Maybe anger is not negative feeling? Or do extroverts need to endanger their mental well-being for not upsetting the sensitive introverts?
I have to admit though that by irritating me the book was probably more thought-provoking than it would have been without these "negative" feelings. It still should have digged a lot deeper and keep in mind that if the aim was for extroverts to better understand introverts, the extroverts should first recognize themselves in the book.
A lot of this made me nod and blush and think about how I react to people and how I behave and makes a lot of sense to me. She also gives a lot of examples about how introverts are not valued by society but should be and that they should be accepted and helped as kids to find how to use their voice but respected for their skills.
If you want to understand introverts you could do worse than this book.

No descriptions found.
At least one-third of the people we know are introverts. They are the ones who prefer listening to speaking, reading to partying; who invent and create but prefer not to pitch their own ideas; who favor working on their own over brainstorming in teams. Although they are often labeled "quiet," it is to introverts we owe many of the great contributions to society--from Van Gogh's sunflowers to the invention of the personal computer. Passionately argued, impressively researched, and filled with the indelible stories of real people, Quiet shows how dramatically we undervalue introverts, and how much we lose in doing so. Susan Cain charts the rise of "the extrovert ideal" over the twentieth century and explores its far-reaching effects--how it helps to determine everything from how parishioners worship to who excels at Harvard Business School. And she draws on cutting-edge research on the biology and psychology of temperament to reveal how introverts can modulate their personalities according to circumstance, how to empower an introverted child, and how companies can harness the natural talents of introverts. This extraordinary book has the power to permanently change how we see introverts and, equally important, how they see themselves.… (more)

Every time a female athlete grunts, cheers, kicks, or throws, they have Claudia Dodson to thank.
"She stood up for me before I even knew what her name was," expressed Hannah Cather Munro, one of Claudia Dodson's colleagues.
Wednesday afternoon, Dodson was laid to rest. A pioneer for female athletics, Dodson was a driving force behind the inclusion of women in sports.
"She's the reason why anybody who is 50 years or younger is able to participate in sports in Virginia," Munro continued.
Coming on the scene a year before Title IX was signed into law, Dodson was the first woman to sit on the Virginia High School League. This position gave Dodson the power to close the gender gap in school athletics.
"One has to remember that in the seventies, it was not a cake walk to just walk in and talk about providing opportunities for girls, because the impression was that you would be taking something away from the boys," explained Stash Stanley, who is active in Dodson's group, Women In Sport, or WINS. WINS honors female athletes in the Charlottesville area.
When Dodson was hired by the VHSL in 1971, gymnastics was the only athletic competition in the state for girls. Today, due to Dodson working tirelessly behind the scenes, there are more than 30.
Her power to change the status quo came in her humble demeanor and passion for equity.
"She was the driving force," said Munro, who sits on the League today. "She was the one sitting at the table with all the men. When they said 'OK, let's add wrestling for boys,' she'd say, 'OK, what are we going to do for the girls?'"
Today, Dodson's legacy lives on any time a female steps onto the playing field.
She was 65 years old.

USA, 1997 (MIFF 1998, International Panorama)
Director: David Mamet
From pre-eminent playwright, screenwriter and director David Mamet comes an intriguing film which mixes greed, paranoia and power into a heady concoction leaving the viewer literally spell-bound. Joe Ross is a young businessman who has developed a revolutionary business strategy called 'The Process'. When he is sent to the Caribbean by his boss, Klein, to present his idea, he is led to believe there will be a large bonus for his effort. When an enigmatic, wealthy stranger, Jimmy (a quietly menacing Steve Martin), turns up, Joe is hurled into a labyrinth of deception, illusion and mystery.
Mamet's signature staccato dialogue punctuates the intricate plot as it twists and turns endlessly. The narrative is exceedingly clever and recalls the endless surprises of Hitchcock's The Man Who Knew Too Much. The script is powerfully fleshed out by a remarkable cast - Martin is superb, his performance is a vaguely dangerous revelation. Mamet reaches new heights in cinematic language and verbal slight-of-hand - it is a delight to both the ears and eyes.
"Writing a movie like this is exactly the same as if I were developing a con... The filmmaker has to get something from the audience - their belief, their credulity - which they wouldn't give if they were thinking about it." - David Mamet
"Likening film narrative and cinephilia to a confidence game, Mamet has made his strongest and most entertaining film yet, a work in which the writer/director's stylised jabs at filmic realism work in concert with a tale in which is nothing is what it seems." - Film Maker
David Mamet is one of the most acclaimed playwrights of our time, whose works include Sexual Perversity in Chicago, American Buffalo, Glengarry Glen Ross and Oleanna. As a screenwriter his credits include The Verdict (1982), The Untouchables (1987) and Hoffa (1992). As writer/director, Mamet's films include House of Games (1987), Things Change (1988), Homicide (1991) and Oleanna (1994).

Woman, 78, gets 20 years for killing boyfriend
RELATED: See more crime news from the Fredericksburg region
MORE: Read more Spotsylvania County news
A 78-year-old woman who shot her boyfriend as he lay in bed in Spotsylvania County was sentenced on Thursday to 20 years in prison.
Lillian Mae Levy received 30 years for second-degree murder, with 13 years suspended, and three years for a firearm charge.
Spotsylvania Commonwealth's Attorney Bill Neely said Levy could be eligible for geriatric parole after five years.
"But it's highly unusual for the courts to grant geriatric parole in murder cases," said Neely, who added that he agreed to lower the charge from first-degree murder to second degree because of Levy's age.
Levy of Mechanicsville, Md., shot 62-year-old James Thomas on April 27, 2013, in their trailer at the Wilderness Presidential Resorts off of State Route 3, where the couple frequently met for weekend getaways.
She later pleaded guilty to the crime.
According to court testimony, Levy called security at the campground around 6:10 a.m. the day of the shooting saying that Thomas was bleeding from his head and crying out in pain.
Thomas, who lived in Henrico County, was taken to Mary Washington Hospital and underwent emergency surgery. Doctors discovered that he had a small-caliber gunshot wound behind his right ear. He died 12 days later on May 9 from massive brain injury, court records show.
Neely said Levy's attorney, public defender Wendy Harris, claimed during the Thursday's sentencing hearing that her client snapped because Thomas used her to buy a golf cart and a lot at Wilderness and then started cheating on her.
The problem with that argument, Neely said, was that Levy got the gun from her car, loaded it and then waited for Thomas to roll over in bed with his back to her before she shot him, which showed premeditation.
"He definitely didn't know what was coming."

MIAMI (AP) -- Two new reports show that the taxpayer-funded Medicare program paid more than $120 million from 2009 to 2011 in violation of federal law for medical services for inmates and illegal immigrants.
Under federal law, Medicare generally doesn't pay for services for inmates or illegal immigrants. But the reports issued Thursday by federal health inspectors say Medicare was billed for more than $33 million in inmate care and more than $91 million for illegal immigrant care over that period.
The Department of Health and Human Services inspector general recommends that officials establish a better system to automatically flag and deny charges for both groups of patients.
Federal health officials say they plan to implement changes in April.

Switching from one user account to another efficiently.
I just switched to Windows 7 from Windows XP. I'm hating it for various silly reasons. So. I have two separate user accounts. On my old XP, to switch from user to user efficiently, I Windows Key + L. On Windows 7, it's the same keys, however, it brings you to an additional screen that asks you if you want to switch users and you have to select that option, before you get to the main screen where all the accounts are listed.
Since I feel like it's pretty self-evident that I want to switch users, I feel like that extra screen is unnecessary and irritating and it makes me want to break my laptop in half. Is there another shortcut key, or is there a way I can change my settings so that when I Windows Key + L it, I get to the user accounts directly, rather than yet another screen asking me if I'm sure?

Hi mlehcar and welcome to Windows 7 Forums
That key combination takes you to the lock screen. It is possible to navigate from there and switch to other accounts, however you can always create a shortcut by following the instructions here: Switch User Shortcut - Create If you place this shortcut on the Public Desktop (which, as its name implies, is available for everyone), you should be able to switch accounts by simply clicking on the shortcut.

I tried it and it sort of worked!
I couldn't get the the "switch user" shortcut icon to merge with the tsdiscon.exe properly, but it's cool, it works anyway!
Thanks again for all your help!

In many American political plays, a guy (it's usually a guy) comes on stage and talks. The set, the costumes, the lighting -- they're all window-dressing, which helps to explain the sorry state of political drama. Doug Wright's 1995 work Quills, however, dissects the issues of censorship through the trials of the Marquis de Sade. It's a play of ideas, driving home the notion that you can't get rid of art you don't like merely by destroying its author. But it's also a play of images. In the exquisitely designed Florida Stage production, Jim Fulton's lighting design reproduced the Marquis' naughty writing as luminescent streaks across the theater walls. Allen D. Cornell's inventive turntable set gave rise to multiple arresting scenes -- not the least of which was the yanking out of the Marquis' tongue. Suzette Pare's costumes smartly outfitted the small-minded denizens of 19th-century France as well as the increasingly-more-disrobed Marquis. And Scott Burgess' sound design created an asylumwide orgy we could "see" though it happened off stage. At the helm was artistic director Louis Tyrrell, whose fluid hand and wicked sense of humor proved to be assets the Marquis would have loved.

Gabby Dover, Maria, Antonina Petkovic? [Twitter]
Along with the Beckham family front-row and the designer bag-on-head tweets, Victoria has another Fash-Week tradition – picking out her favourite models and giving them a special spot on her Twitter and Instagram pages.
This week during her uber cool A/W 2014 show in New York, it was green-eyed beauty Josephine Van Delden, 17 years old and signed with British modeling agency Models 1, and gorgeous Canadian model Gracie Van Gastel, who Victoria declared to the Twitter world she was "obsessed with".
Amra, Marine Deleeuw, Gracie Van Gastel
The Gracie obsession seemingly started last year, when the lovely VB posted her picture backstage at her much hyped A/W 2013 show. Also amongst the Twitter elite that season was stunning Australian model Gabby Dover, who only having modeled for 3 weeks (for Grazia Australia – we saw her first!) and had never stepped foot on the catwalk, was cast by Victoria Beckham and then catapulted into the fashion world when the influential designer posted that she was "obsessed with Gabby" – what a month!
Josephine van Delden , Edie Campbell, Athena [Twitter]
Victoria's Fashion Week Tweets also helped to sky-rocket the modeling careers of Marine Deleeuw, Maria Loks and 16 year old Antonina Petkovic, who was pictured "having fun" backstage with the British designer. Victoria likes to make fashion a family affair and Brit model Edie Campbell, who starred with Romeo Beckham in the Burberry campaign, also got a mention.
The S/S 2013 show saw Mrs. B posting pictures of Yulia Serzhantova, American Athena Wilson and striking Amra Cerkezovic, tweeting "I want to be Amra!" So do we!

Dunne on Wine: Farmer Ron Mansfield's at the root of El Dorado's wine success
We wine writers devote entirely too much space to wines and the vintners who make them, not enough to grapes and the farmers who grow them.
Well, then, let's catch up with Ron Mansfield, who farms 300 acres of wine grapes on and about Apple Hill in El Dorado County.
Most of the vineyards Mansfield tends are owned by people who under management agreements relinquish their long-term care to his stewardship.
A big guy with a homespun drawl and laconic manner, Mansfield brings the sensitivity and precision of a bonsai artist to vines. As a consequence, on the short list of people responsible for El Dorado County's standing as a fine-wine region he's at or near the top.
His relationship with property owners has been especially successful in his development and care of Fenaughty Vineyard, close by Mansfield's own vineyard and orchards, Goldbud Farms.
Grapes from Fenaughty Vineyard are grabbed each harvest by more than a dozen winemakers near and far, many of whom recognize the growing stature of the plot by including its name on their labels. Wineries that receive steady recognition for wines from Fenaughty Vineyard include Edmunds St. John and Donkey & Goat in Berkeley, Keplinger in Napa Valley, Lavender Ridge and Hatcher in Calaveras County, and David Girard, Holly's Hill, Windwalker and Skinner in El Dorado County.
When I last visited Mansfield in 1997 it was for a story on ...

Factors such as climate change, urbanization and environmental degradation have increased the severity and rate of natural disasters from roughly 120 events annually in the 1980s to about 500 events today. This trend is also causing widespread destruction of billions of dollars worth of assets annually in some of the world's most densely populated areas.
The unacceptably high loss of lives, human anguish and economic reversals led to a World Bank policy review in 2007 expanding the traditional emphasis on post-crisis damage assessments and reconstruction to disaster prevention and risk reduction through a series of development and policy initiatives with governments across the region.
Over the last decade, Disaster Risk Management (DRM) projects have shown convincingly how lives can be saved and critical infrastructure spared using new technologies, emergency and city planning, building codes, climate change adaptation and risk financing mechanisms.
For instance, Cyclone Nargis killed 130,000 in Myanmar in 2008 compared to 3,000 who died around the same time when Cyclone Ramshi hit Bangladesh—the difference was Bangladesh's active cyclone risk reduction program.
With the fastest rate of urbanization in history—over one million urban migrants a month in EAP—reducing the impact of disasters has become intrinsic to fighting poverty. Indeed, development choices made today can influence future disasters and their impact.
Six of the ten most vulnerable countries to climate change events are in the East Asia region, and development in several Pacific island nations depends on adequate measures to reduce disaster losses caused by rising sea levels and environmental degradation. Many aspects of climate change adaptation are disaster risk management and new initiatives are being launched with partners and governments in the region to help vulnerable nations meet this growing challenge.
Vulnerability among these growing populations is amplified by a combination of increased climate events and urban/coastal migration: over 162 million people in EAP face displacement because of climate-change induced rises in sea-levels—including over 20% of Vietnam's total population. Some 65 % of people exposed globally to flood risk live in EAP's coastal megacities compared to 3% in South America and 1% in Australia.
In addition, 75% of the world's active and dormant volcanoes are situated along the eastern edge of Asia and South East Asia; these areas are also extremely seismically active and can have devastating consequences: for instance, the May 2008 Wenchuan quake led to 70,000 deaths and US$9.6 billion in economic losses.
In 2009, six of the ten countries with highest natural disaster related mortality rates, and also six of the ten countries whose GDP were impacted most by natural disasters were from Asia and Pacific region. The increasing intensity of disasters can be seen for instance, in Samoa where the total economic value of damage and loss caused by the 2009 Tsunami is estimated at about US$104.4 million equivalent to about 20% of the country's GDP.
back to top
The World Bank's regional development strategy focuses on sustaining growth and reducing poverty through four pillars. The DRM program complements these:
In addition, demand from clients has led to several new strategic initiatives in FY10 in developing Early Warning Systems together with UNISDR and WMO, capacity building for post disaster needs assessments, new products for catastrophe risk financing such as micro-insurance and reducing urban disaster risk through better visualization tools, smarter building regulations, city planning and climate change adaptation measures.
The World Bank has lent over US$1 billion for post-disaster recovery in the region: US$710 million was allocated for the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake recovery in China where over 50 sub-projects are in various stages of technical and safeguards clearance, procurement and construction. The remaining funds support housing and reconstruction programs in Indonesia's Aceh and Yogyakarta where thousands of houses have been built, village communities rehabilitated, livelihoods restored, infrastructure both big and small rebuilt following the 2005 tsunami and 2007 Java earthquake. Emergency Recovery Loans for the series of disasters that occurred in 2009 are currently being prepared in Cambodia, Samoa and Tonga.
An additional US$300 million of the portfolio comprises risk reduction investments, the bulk of it in Vietnam where a Natural Disaster Risk Management project piloted a Community-based Disaster Risk Management component, which is now being expanded to cover 6,000 communes through a national program launched by the Government of Vietnam.
GFDRR trust funds will be used in FY12 in Vietnam to design hazard resistant infrastructure, build capacity for new disaster management centers and conduct a diagnostic review of the country's forecasting and early warning system. In Indonesia, US$2 million will be used for capacity building of national and sub-national disaster management agencies and to develop a comprehensive national risk financing framework.
back to top
The World Bank works with key international and bilateral partners on disaster risk reduction in the East Asia and Pacific region, including the UN International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (UNISDR), Australian Agency for International Development (AusAID), Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the Global Fund for Disaster Risk Reduction and Recovery (GFDRR). Funding from GFDRR has helped support both regional advocacy and knowledge sharing as well as provide support to countries for improving existing infrastructure and institutions to reduce disaster risk. GFDRR funding will be linked to Country Assistance Strategies and support development and implementation of DRM plans on the ground.
In FY09, a joint agreement between the World Bank, UNISDR and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) supported the development of a regional strategy for disaster risk reduction that would focus on enabling ASEAN states to invest in ex-ante disaster risk reduction through robust legislative, regulatory and financing frameworks. As part of this program, a training event was held in May 2009, and a follow on is scheduled for late 2010. Similarly, an MOU with the Pacific Islands Applied Geoscience Commission (SOPAC) is supporting country specific catastrophe risk profiling and insurance initiatives as well as risk reduction through sustainable climate change adaptation and infrastructure development.
The World Bank and the Asian Disaster Reduction Center (ADRC) signed in February 2011 a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to strengthen cooperation and regional partnerships for disaster risk reduction, and to enhance capacity-building and knowledge-sharing in disaster prevention, mitigation and response across East Asia and the Pacific.
The Bank is also working with the WMO to conduct a regional assessment of hydro-meteorological systems and needs in East Asian countries. This assessment will form the foundation for investment programs in early warning systems and related infrastructure and capacity building.

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) - A southwest Florida driver has been charged with hitting and killing a bicyclist then leaving the scene.
Hillsborough County Sheriff's deputies arrested 29-year-old Shawn Burton on Tuesday. Deputy Larry McKinnon said a friend lent Burton his SUV, a Ford Explorer, and wondered why it was damaged when Burton returned it. Burton said he struck a deer. The owner became suspicious after hearing news reports about the hit and run and called authorities.
Deputies said 30-year-old Ishizuka Kayoko was riding her bike last month when Burton struck her from behind.

New Partnership for Sustainable Tourism
Portland, Oregon-based Sustainable Travel International (STI) and Athens, Greece-based European Network for Accessible Tourism (ENAT) have announced they will align their work more closely toward a common goal of improving the long-term sustainability and accessibility of tourism offers in destinations around the world, while improving the quality of life for local resident communities.
STI and ENAT are both known in the industry as two leading organizations in the fields of sustainable tourism and accessible tourism. Their collaboration on new initiatives is aiming to improve the quality of tourist destinations and enterprises around the world, the two organizations said in joint release.
STI works to enhance the sustainability of tourism destinations and tourism activities, while ENAT provides know-how and support for businesses and destinations to improve the access of facilities and services for older people and persons with disabilities. Recognizing their highly complementary roles, the two global partners will explore new ways of combining the principles of economic, social and environmental sustainability with accessibility and inclusion for all.
The STI-ENAT collaboration is said to initially focus on developing projects for specific destinations as well as general guidance and training materials for managers and owners of tourism businesses.
STI's CEO Brian Mullis said: "Sustainable Travel International's mission is to help destinations, organizations, businesses, and travelers develop innovative solutions to protect the environment, adapt to climate change, preserve cultural heritage, and generate economic benefits across the tourism value chain."
"We understand that social sustainability is integral to destination success," he adds. "We are committed to ensuring our work has positive outcomes for all tourism stakeholders, particularly women, children, and people with disabilities"
The head of the Athens-based groups said "partnering with ENAT provides a wonderful opportunity to build upon our collective knowledge and networks to ensure that accessibility issues are an integral part of destination sustainability plans, tools, and actions."
For his part, ENAT managing director Ivor Ambrose said: "We have admired, for a long time, the way STI reaches out to businesses and destinations around the world, giving them concrete tools and methods to act in more sustainable ways. We are very excited to start this new collaboration with STI."
He added: "We are particularly aware that when it comes to having good access to buildings, the outdoor environment, transport and services, the interests of people with disabilities and elderly – whether they are local citizens or tourists - are very much the same."
According to Mr. Ambrose, "making tourism accessible for all gives direct business benefits by opening up to a wider market, especially considering the rise in numbers of older travellers, and it can also mean a huge improvement to the life conditions of the locals."
"We hope that by working with STI we can reach more communities - also outside our base in Europe - and help to bring wider social benefits within the framework of sustainable tourism," the ENAT director also said.

Audio CD - RAW File System
Hi All...
Not sure if the is the correct forum or not.??
A colleague at work gave me a music CD to listen to today (Digimax CD-R x52), but when I got it home to listen to on my laptop, I could not see the data on the disk.?.
Using Disk Management I was able to see that the under "File System", while all other drives were showing as NTFS, this was displaying RAW.
My understanding of RAW is that it is not recognised my Windows as being a properly formatted disk,..??. BUT.. When this disk is inserted in the player in the car, the music is recognised.!!!
My question... Is it possible to view the songs on the disk and copy to the hard drive????
Is the some software out there that could manage this type of conversion????
FYI.. Am running windows 7 Ultimate x32
Hope someone out the can help shed some light on this one???

This is confusing as RAW is an image format. A RAW photograph can be created by a DSLR camera and is an uncompressed exact image of what the camera saw when the shutter was opened. All aspects of the photo can be edited in the RAW format including the White balance etc.
See the Wiki description here:
Raw image format - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I guess your friend has either just copied a commercial CD. (To pass that on to someone else is illegal by the way) or he has ripped a CD and got confused with the subsequent burning.
|My System Specs

I do understand raw as in image.. But my concern is raw as in file system I.e. NTFS or FAT32 etc.
To me it looks like the CD was created with the original audio format without converting the audio tracks to say... MP3 or FLAC etc..
Thus the RAW File System and why Windows will not recognise the data but it can still play the songs in the car sound system.!!

Thank Mitchell65.. I too found that article and I too tried ReClaiMe to see if it would/could see the audio files. It recognised all drives except the one that contained the CD.! Soooooo I am thinking that this disk will have to remain the property of car Stereo system cause there aint nothing that I can see that will enable me to view the contents of that disk from Windows or even Ubuntu.!! Thanks again for your help. Regards Julius

Scot Nery is a comedy entertainer who performs a pancake juggling show around the world, works in television and film, and creates theatrical prop-oriented productions.
The Live Comedian For A Live Audience
"One can only imagine how hard he worked for it to come off with such ease. Hilarious!" - Matt Kowal @ New Belgium Brewery
Pancake Show
Scot's act is more than pancake flipping. It is 8 to 60 minute performance like you (and the rest of the audience) have never seen before. Scot is an expert at adjusting perfectly to the audience, venue and whatever else comes up in order to make the best show possible. Scot is self-contained, easy to work with, and surprising -- so that you and your guests can have fun.
Host + Emcee
Scot is hired by McDonalds corporate, Disney, and the prestiguous Beverly Center because he gives the audience a rare value: connection. An emcee who introduces things clearly is the default. Scot is able to react on-the-fly to changing situations, bring context to the confusing, and relay enthusiasm to an alienated crowd.
"Scot Nery's performances are a delightfully irreverent indulgence with a highly-refined level of showmanship that amazes audiences of all ages." - Philip Solomon @ Way2Much Entertainment
Scot's unique and acclaimed performances combine his one-of-a-kind personality and newfangled object manipulation. Every show is a refreshing splash of unexpected ingenuity.
Audiences love a fearless, carefree performer; they can relax and have fun. Scot's comic daring is infectious; his crowds cheer for every attempt, and positively rejoice at his successes.
Chuckles are for kids. Scot elicits full-bodied, rolling, rollicking laughter. Foot-stomping, thigh-slapping release. And he does it on purpose. And he does it every time.

'Jersey Shore' star gets new gig at AC casino
February 13, 2012 - 10:45 PM
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) — A "Jersey Shore" cast member is taking his act south.
DJ Paul "Pauly D" DelVecchio will become a resident DJ at The Pool at Harrah's, the swimming pool/nightclub at Harrah's Resort Atlantic City.
His debut performance is scheduled for March 31, with another on April 28. A Harrah's spokeswoman says the casino hopes to have him perform at least nine times during the year.
DelVecchio was voted the eighth-best DJ in America in 2010 by Vibe magazine.
The pool has become one of Atlantic City's hottest nightspots, with celebrity appearances booked throughout the year.

Designing Trees for the Future
Trees4Future is an Integrative European Research Infrastructure project that aims to integrate, develop and improve major forest genetics and forestry research infrastructures. It will provide the wider European forestry research community with easy and comprehensive access to currently scattered sources of information (including genetic databanks, forest modelling tools and wood technology labs) and expertise.
This will help forestry researchers and the European forestry sector to respond, in a sustainable manner, to increasing demands for wood products and services in a context of genetic adaptation and changing climatic conditions. It will create a new and better linked research infrastructure which will increase our knowledge about the adaptation of forests to climate change and tree characteristics suited for tailor-made wood supply - thus optimising the short- and long-term exploitation of forest resources.
Call for Access to Infrastructures now open!
The Trees4Future Transnational Access programme offers external users free access to 28 state-of-the-art forest research structures and facilities across Europe. The facilities on offer focus on genetics, genomics and tree breeding, (eco-)physiology and biotechnology, wood science and technology and modelling/data analysis. They include genetic databanks, biobanks, laboratories, models and decision-support systems.
"This is a great opportunity to visit and use the facilities under expert guidance and build up a personal network of professional contacts."

Villa | 2 bedrooms | sleeps 4
|Key Info

Ground Flor:
The air conditioned ground floor is open-plan with living room area and kitchen. Another door is opening onto a garden terrace.
The kitchen is fully equipped with dishwasher, electric oven with gas hob and large fridge freezer. The dining area has an extendable table and chairs to seat up to six person.
The living room area is comfortably furnished with 6 seater sofa. There is a television with satellite receiver for numerous TV and radio stations.
There is also small toilet and hand-basin.
First Flor:
There are two large bedrooms, a shower room and enough cupboard/storage space.
Bedroom 1 - Double bed with cupboard and air conditioning. The door open onto a balcony area.
Bedroom 2 – 2 single bed with cupboard and electric fan.
Shower Room – Washing machine, shower, toilet, fitted sink unit with cupboard space.
The stairs continues up to Roof terrace.
Roof Terrace:
The roof terrace is open to the sun and has views of the surrounding area.
It's also a great place to dry your washings.
The Villa is approximately 120m square. Ground floor 43.48m square, First floor 46.03m square.
Akdeniz Evleri (complex)
Akdeniz Evleri is a large group of detached, privately owned holiday villas. Akdeniz is located between 200m high hills and the banks of the Dalaman river, 10 minutes drive from the small holiday resort of Sar?germe and 20 minutes drive from Dalaman International Airport.
Akdeniz has been designed with swimming pools, cafe bar and small shop at the centre. Well maintained gardens and palm tree lined paths fan outwards from the central pool area.
The site is car free; all cars must stop at the car park in front of the security office. There are trolleys located in the site for transporting your luggages to the villa.
Facilities within the complex:
A large swimming pool and shallow children's pool surrounded by sun loungers and parasols. Both pools are filled and maintained from May to October inclusive.
o Cafe Bar
o Small Shop
o Football Pitch
o Volleyball Court
o Basketball Court
Essential food and drinks are available from the on-site shop. Serious self caterers will need to look further afield for fresh fruit and vegetables, meat, poultry and specialist food. Either visit one of the local towns on market days or one of the local supermarkets.
During the season (beginning of May to the end of October) there is a free taxi-boat from the Akdeniz Evleri jetty along the river to a private beach. This takes about 10 minutes. This end of the beach is very peaceful and there are currently no food or drink facilities, just a few sun loungers, parasols and a shower, so be sure to take with you everything that you need! Please note, however, that this beach shelves very steeply and can be quite choppy when windy, so it is not recommended for very young children or non-swimmers.
The timetable for the boat is on a notice board in the shaded seated area opposite the security office. This also shows the times that the minibus goes to Sar?germe and to the weekly markets in Dalaman and Ortaca.
A superb Blue Flag beach is reached by going through Sar?germe. It is perfect for all, including young children, as it shelves very gently and the shallow water is (usually!) lovely and warm. There are changing rooms, showers, toilets, a cafe and plenty of sun loungers and parasols to rent. There is even a small zoo! Be sure to visit the Sar?germe Watersports Centre at one end of the beach for a go on a pedalo, a banana boat or on Big Mabel, or to try windsurfing, sailing, or waterskiing. During the season the dolmush buses run from the centre of Sar?germe to the beach.
In the nearby town of Sar?germe there are shops, bars, restaurants, cafes and a market every Sunday morning.
Whilst we do recommend that you hire a car, this is not essential as taxis are relatively cheap and readily available from Akdeniz. Tourist trips to all the popular locations can be arranged in Sar?germe and pick-ups/drop-offs at Akdeniz are provided. Some local restaurants also provide a pick-up/drop-off service.
Akdeniz is close to several international hotels (e.g. Hilton, Pegasus) where, for a fee, you can use their facilities.
There is also a Thermal Mud Bath called Kükürt Blue Thermal just over 2km away (roughly 1 hour walking slowly). This is thoroughly recommended, great fun and is very good for your skin - or so it is told.
o Turkish Baths - Be sure to go early in your holiday so you don't scrub off your tan; it leaves your skin feeling wonderfully soft and is supposed to prepare your skin for a good tan.
o Barbers - A very enjoyable experience that men and boys will never forget. Have a shave with a cut-throat razor and, if you want have your ear and nose hairs trimmed off - by burning! Our favourite barber is also a popular local folk singer in his spare time and may sing for you - if you ask nicely!
o Hairdresser – There is a new hairdresser in the village and she is a proffesional what ever you like to make you a perfect looking for your summer nights.
o Jeep safari - An amazing and unforgettable experience with rock tombs, mountains, rivers, lakes, wild life, sea, fantastic views and lunch all in one day.
o Water sports - For sailing, windsurfing, water skiing, pedalos, banana boat and Big Mabel at the Sar?germe Watersports centre.
o Scuba Diving - from beginner to expert.
o Iztuzu (Caretta) Beach - This is a long beach where the Caretta Caretta turtles lay their eggs and is thus a protected area. There is now a Turtle Sanctuary, caring for turtles injured by boats and fishing lines. You can get to the Turtle Sanctuary end of the beach by road, or to the other end via a relaxing 40 minute river boat trip from Dalyan.
o Sarsala Beach - A secluded cove with breath-taking views from the hill down to the beach. In season there is a restaurant and boat trips from the beach. Well worth the 30 minute drive from Dalaman.
o Tandem Microlite with Come Fly - Go on the earliest flight and see turtles on the beach. Don't forget your camera/video camera.
o History - Kaunos, a settlement dating back to 3000BC with amphitheatre, agora, temples and Lycian Rock tombs overlooking Dalyan.
o White Water Rafting on the Dalaman River
o Thermal Spring Mud Baths & Health Spa
o Boat trips - If you only do one boat trip, it has to be the 12 Islands from Göcek!
o Mountain biking, sea fishing, horse riding, quad biking.
o Eating Turkish food!
o Shopping, local markets

Sarigerme is a beautiful, traditional Turkish small seaside village and destined to become the centre of one of Turkey's most exclusive resorts only a few minutes away from Dalaman International Airport
Sarigerme has a stunning sandy beach stretching seven kilometres and lies in a sheltered bay of clear warm waters
Sarigerme is part of the considerable Dalaman Tourism project and is already seeing major changes which will ensure that it becomes the centre of one of Turkey's most exclusive resorts.
Sarigerme boasts 7km of Blue Flag golden beaches and crystal blue waters earning it the name of Turkey's Turquoise Coast.
Sarigerme is tipped to be the next Bodrum having been marked by The Turkish Government as a tourism development region which has already resulted in The Hilton Group openned a five star Hotel in the village, the group's first foot print in Turkey.
The Sarigerme 18 hole championship Golf Course will officially open in 2014 and given that the nearest golf course is in Antalya some 300 km away it's not surprising that interest has surged from Golfers in the area pushing up land prices.
Indeed, a further six courses are planned in nearby Dalaman in the next few years.
