S. Carolina wins CWS
Wed., June 30, 2010
OMAHA, Neb. — Whit Merrifield's RBI single with one out in the bottom of the 11th inning gave South Carolina its first baseball national championship with a 2-1 victory over UCLA in the College World Series on Tuesday night.
The Gamecocks (54-16) won six straight games after losing their CWS opener against Oklahoma. They also won the last championship played at Rosenblatt Stadium, the CWS' home since 1950.
"I don't know how I feel," coach Ray Tanner said. "I've never been in this situation. I know one thing, I'm extremely proud of these guys and my coaches. It's unbelievable."
Scott Wingo drew a leadoff walk and took second when catcher Steve Rodriguez let an inside 1-0 pitch get past him. Wingo moved to third when Evan Marzilli got a bunt down, and scored when Merrifield drilled a 2-0 pitch by Dan Klein past the pulled-in outfield of the Bruins (51-17) and into right field.
Matt Price (5-1) got the win for the Gamecocks, who also went to the CWS finals in 1975, '77 and 2002, but came up short.
Klein (6-1) took the loss after working 3

CHICAGO – Like many of you, I have been perusing the digital platforms, looking for the appropriate binge shows that will provide a temporary bit of sanity. Amazon Prime, for example, offers the entire series of "30 Rock" (2006-13), the seminal NBC-TV series created by and featuring Tina Fey.

CHICAGO – They did it. Walt Disney Studios took one of their most beloved live action/animated films and rebooted it for a new millennium. "Mary Poppins Returns" is a song-filled, emotional and magical celebration of all things Mary P, combining the elements that made it great the first time with the modern movie strengths of today.

Question: Had you ever been in a jail before? Barker: Neer. It's a terrifying experience... I spent two years in the Marine Corps... so I had met all types of people and had to live with all types of people, so I think I was better prepared probably than most adult people. But it's frightening. You're in a detention room with sleeping accommodations for 32 and 40 people. Some people have to sleep on the floor. I've seen people raped, specially young kids.

The Virgins and the Rich Girls
You know the feeling when you hear a song and you instantly realize that you have to play it all over again, 'cos it just rocks. This happened to me today, when I downloaded the Virgins' album. You tv addicts must have heard their music all over Gossip Girl - I hadn't so they struck like a lighting. Actually I should thank Alppila for pointing them out to me. He described the Virgins as something between the Strokes and the Cars. Can't go wrong with that.
So click the vid above the hear "Rich Girls".

Remmele Engineering Inc., a contract manufacturer that has operated in the Twin Cities for more than six decades, is changing hands for the second time in five years.
RTI International Metals Inc., a Pittsburgh-based supplier of titanium components for the aerospace and defense industry, said Tuesday that it is paying $182.5 million to acquire the business from Minneapolis private equity firm Goldner Hawn Johnson & Morrison Inc., which bought Remmele in 2007. The price includes $164.5 million in cash and the assumption of about $18 million in debt.
Goldner Hawn Managing Director Jack Morrison said the deal enables Remmele to expand into a variety of new markets and to keep growing. The company does contract manufacturing for the aerospace, defense and medical device industries.
Morrison said that when his partnership bought Remmele, operating profits were less than $8 million a year. After adding the current management team and providing it with capital to expand the business, Remmele's operating profit grew to about $22 million a year.
"From our perspective, it was kind of a win-win for everybody," Morrison said of the deal.
RTI said in a news release that Remmele's senior leadership will remain with the company, which began in St. Paul in 1949 and was family-owned until 2007. Remmele employs about 500 people at operations in New Brighton, Big Lake and Coon Rapids.
RTI Chief Executive Dawne Hickton said adding Remmele will enable the company to give customers a broader offering of products. "Remmele has a strong reputation among many of our shared aerospace and defense customers and holds the same standing in the medical device market," Hickton said in a news release.
RTI is financing the acquisition with cash. The purchase is expected to close before the end of the first quarter.
The company did not return calls seeking more information on its plans for Remmele and its employees.
Stephen Levenson, an analyst who follows RTI for Stifel, Nicolaus & Co., said the deal makes strategic sense and follows a "pattern of moving downstream to provide a greater range of products and services."
The acquisition will add medical devices to RTI's portfolio of products and, Levenson said, could help it weather likely reductions in defense spending by allowing the company to "better utilize its available titanium melting capabilities to supply Remmele with materials."
RTI shares jumped $2.50 on Tuesday, or 11 percent, to $25.91.
A long, local history
Remmele Engineering was founded in 1949 by Fred L. Remmele, who immigrated to the United States in 1926 from Germany. He worked through the years for various tool and die shops in the Twin Cities and Chicago before starting his own company.
In the spring of 2007, after 58 years of ownership, the Remmele family sold the company to Goldner Hawn.

See you soon!
See you soon!
This summer started out with my arrival home and leaving for the emergency room the next day. I could hardly swallow and every time I did it felt like a razor blade in my throat. Turns out I had mono during all of finals week and didn't realize it. So that was exciting news because I was leaving for Australia in a week!
I packed all of the essentials in a tiny 40 liter backpack which I would be living out of for the next two weeks. Fast forward to the airport – I almost didn't get on the plane. Apparently I needed to fill out an ETA and have it accepted by the US and Australian government before I could get my boarding pass. Luckily everything worked it and I was able to board the plane. The travel time was 22 hours on the plane and 28 hours total with all of the layovers. Honestly it was a lot easier to do than I originally thought. One of the best feelings was getting off the plane knowing I got to see my brother after four months of being all the way across the world from each other. After meeting up with everyone, we headed to our first hostile in Melbourne. The way I like to describe this city is a clean New York City with palm trees. Also, you could walk down an alleyway at night and find a cute cafe with string lights rather than a dumpster and crusty rats.
We spent three days in Melbourne then rented a car and headed down the Great Ocean Road. We spent three days traveling on the road stopping at amazing places on the way. The first place we stopped at was actually a surprise. We took a random dirt road called beach forest because we thought it might be cool (we also wanted to see some kangaroos-which we did). There was a sign for a waterfall so we hiked down to the spot and it ended up being in a rainforest type setting and it was absolutely stunning. Another place we stopped on the great ocean road was the 12 Apostles which was breathtaking to see in real life.
Eventually after taking breaks at beaches and cute shops we arrived in Adelaide where we spent a day just recollecting for our next flight to Sydney. Sadly, there is no P. Sherman 42 Wallaby Way Sydney (otherwise we totally would have went). While we were in Sydney, the Vivid Light Festival was going on. This festival was so much more than we had originally thought. The entire harbor was lit up with vibrant colors.
After spending two days in that fabulous city, my brother and I split from our traveling friends and flew to Cairns. This is where we snorkeled and dove at the Great Barrier Reef. This was probably the highlight of my trip. Videos and pictures don't do the reef or any of the animals justice. While we were on the boat on our way back to land, we saw close to 30 whales traveling together and jumping out of the water which was also so amazing. The last thing we did in Cairns was go to see some koala bears. Those animals are probably the cutest little guys on earth. Our last stop in Australia was Brisbane where we met up with my cousin and our traveling buddies again.
My visit Australia was probably the best decision I've ever made. The fact that we had absolutely no plans scared me at first, but it was actually the best plan. It opened my eyes to a whole new world and gave me so much confidence to do things on my own. I realized that I can live off of two shirts and a pair of shorts. I also realized that Emma Lannon isn't crazy for flying to Denmark over Thanksgiving break. It's worth it.
When I got home I jumped right into my job at the F.X. Matt Brewing Company. I give tours of the brewery and also work events such as Saranac Thursdays and concerts. I absolutely love my job and everyone I work with. Other than working, I work out and play beach volleyball with my dad and brother at a sports bar near our house every Tuesday which has been extremely fun. I also love to go up to my best friend Grace's camp in Boonville and float on the lake all day.
On Fourth of July weekend, some crazy opportunity came up where I was offered a ride to Long Island. So obviously I took it to go see Kaci, Tricia and Courtney! Our friend Kristen drove us down to Kaci's on Saturday. We spent the entire day on her boat which was honestly so fun and relaxing. The next day we went to the beach and actually found a beach court! Kaci, Trish, Court and I took on some family and had a ton of fun. The last day we spent in Montauk shopping and walking around the beach. It was an amazing weekend that I'll remember forever.
Another little adventure I had this summer was to the Justin Bieber concert in Buffalo. I went with one of my really good friends on July 12th. Little did I know that Emily Ast was at the same concert! I met up with her and had a cute little reunion with my future suite mate.
My summer won't be complete until I go on vacation to Poland. This will be my first time over in Poland and all of Europe! I'll be staying there for two weeks and traveling with family. My brother, my cousins and I will be meeting up with my parents and other cousins after a few days of being there. I am extremely excited to see the country and to use some terms my Babci has taught me.
Overall, I have definitely had the time of my life this summer. I am forever grateful for every opportunity that has popped up this past year. I've been itching to get back in the gym and see the team. I'll see you all in three weeks!
Summer has always been my favorite time of the year. Hanging out by the pool with friends, spending time with family, going on hikes, and attending concerts. What more could anyone ask for? I honestly feel the happiest during the summertime (well except for when I'm playing volleyball of course) and wish it could last forever.
This summer has been the best one yet. To start off, I graduated from high school! The ceremony was so special and I enjoyed every second of it. It really hit me that kids I have spent my entire life with would all be heading their separate ways and I wouldn't see them everyday. I was pretty sad about it at first, but now I am so excited to see what Geneseo has in store for me!
Following graduation and coming to realize how little time I had before I headed off to school, I really wanted to make this a summer to remember. I promised myself that I would try to make as many memories as I possibly could.
I really enjoy the outdoors and hiking. All past summers I was always so busy and could never find the time to get a group of friends together and go hiking. But this summer, I knew I had to make it happen. I hiked to the eternal flame (which is about 30 minutes from my house in Williamsville), as well as a place called Zoar Valley (which is about an hour and 30 minutes from where I live). Both of these places were so fun to adventure through and I would go back to either of them in a heartbeat.
I also really enjoy spending my time at concerts! This summer I have gone to a total of 3: Zac Brown Band (one of my favorites), Justin Bieber, and G-eazy. I don't have one specific genre of music that I really love so I will honestly listen to any type. Spending time with my friends at concerts is one of my favorite things to do and those memories will be with me forever.
Although I love doing exciting things with my friends, I always make time for my family. Whether it is tanning out by our pool, watching a movie, or having a nice family dinner, we always have the best of times together. My brother is going into his senior year of college and with me leaving in a few short weeks, I want to spend as much time with my parents as I can before they become empty nesters!
Throughout the summer I have also coached two volleyball camps at a high school , and a soccer camp called Little Champs at a middle school. I thoroughly enjoy being a coach and love seeing kids find a love for a sport. I played soccer a very long time ago and don't know much about it, but I only coach 3-4 year olds so I don't need to know very much! I teach them the basic skills (shooting the ball, trapping the ball, etc..) but my main goal is to keep them active and make sure they have fun. At the volleyball camps I have coached I worked with older kids about 12-13 years old. I really took it in my hands to improve their skills and get them prepared for their upcoming tryouts for their schools. By the time the camps were over I definitely felt like I prepared the players for their future careers in volleyball.
Safe to say this summer has brought me so much joy! I can't believe how fast it flew by and how close move in day is. As each day passes I get more and more excited to start my freshman year!
I hope everyone had an amazing summer as well. See you all soon!

This summer has truly been relaxing and very enjoyable. I've been able to spend lots of time with family and friends, playing volleyball and softball, and of course working.
Most of my summers in the past have been filled with softball, and this one was no different. I played with my friends in 3 tournaments and we even won one of them! Besides the 23 open league, I also play slow pitch on Thursday nights which is really fun. Next week we play in the slow pitch championship game!
One of the big things I had been looking forward to this summer was my cousin's wedding! My cousin Jordan was the first of my cousins to get married so of course it was a very big deal. He and his beautiful wife Miranda got married last weekend and the reception was at the place where I work! I love my job since I get to see all of the decorations and dresses and watch people have so much fun on their wedding day. My cousin's wedding was so fun and it was great to see my two cousins, one from Colorado and one from Virginia, who came in for it!
The time I've spend with my friends has been mostly exploring Buffalo. I've been to a couple Food Truck Tuesday's, which is one of my favorite parts of the summer. Every Tuesday food trucks gather at Larkin Square and people come out to enjoy the nice weather, live bands, and great food. Canalside is also a great summer hotspot in Buffalo. It lies on the edge of Lake Erie and host events like free concerts on Thursdays. It's fun to go eat and spend time watching the kayakers and sailboats on the water. Another big event downtown this summer was the Justin Bieber concert that I went to with my best friend Hannah! I also got to see Madison for the first time since school at the concert so that was awesome.
The furthest I have gotten away form Buffalo so far this summer was a short day trip to Toronto to meet my friend Nick's girlfriend. In about a week though I'm going to Disney World which will be a fun trip to close a great summer!
Finally, I got the chance to play some volleyball this summer with Sarah Bain and two young girls that play for my club. One of my favorite old club coaches has been helping my get my setting workout in all summer and has introduced me to two great young players! Playing with them and Sarah this summer has made me so excited for this upcoming season and to be back in the gym with all of you! I can't wait to see most of you on Friday and look forward to another awesome season!
Enjoy the rest of your summer everyone!
Emily Ast, Sophomore
Hi everyone! Hope everyone's having an amazing summer filled with laughs and memories. Normally for my summer I would be working 5 days a week at a day camp. But this year I've decided to relax a little more and spend more time at home with friends and family, and of course playing volleyball!
To kick start my summer, high school officially came to and end with my senior prom and graduation! The prom was held at the Atlantis Aquarium in Riverhead, and we actually ate dinner and danced next to the sharks and many other sea creature tanks! Our graduation was the next day on our high school track and it was an emotional roller coaster. So many wonderful speeches from teachers, students and administrators.
My friends and I after our graduation ceremony!
Now that my friends and I have had all this down time, we mainly spend our sunny days at Robert Moses Beach on the south shore, and of course play tons of beach volleyball!
Here is my best friend holding her niece, Avery Hope!
Overall my summer so far has been relaxing and enjoyable but I can't wait to move up to Geneseo this upcoming fall to meet all my new teammates and coaches and dive into my new learning experience. I'm sure I'll miss the comfort of my home but I am so looking forward to the place that I will call home for the next 4 years and all of the people I will meet! Have a great summer everyone!!

Every summer my family of seven takes a week long trip up to a camp in Ontario, Canada. The camp we rent yearly is located on Charleston Lake. This year is our thirteenth trip, which I am currently on now. I was six years old when we came here for the first time. There are five kids in my family. The oldest sibling will be twenty two this year and the youngest is twelve. There are four girls and one boy, who is the oldest. I am the middle child.
Even with all the kids home in the summer, we all seem to be going in a hundred different directions. There does not seem to be a convenient time at home for us five to do things together. If we are all actually at home and not at work or out with friends, it seems that only two or three of us tend to do things together due to the differences in age. However, this is where our annual trip to Canada comes in. This trip encourages us to be with each other for an entire week, and to find activities to do. We genuinely enjoy and appreciate this trip together because there is no one to answer to, nor obligations to keep us from spending quality time with one another.
This is the camp. To the right is our little bay with a beach and a dock for the boats.
This is the bay and dock looking from the deck.
To begin summarizing a typical week, we bring both of our boats up. One is for fishing and one is for water activities such as water skiing and tubing. I love tubing most, and prefer flat tubes that enable people to be whipped off of after holding on for dear life. Fishing is something my dad taught us at a very young age, and that we all enjoy doing. Typically we have competitions of who can catch the best or most fish. Unfortunately, I do not usually win these competitions.
These are pictures from today of my neighbor and I tubing. They rent a camp next to ours.
Our favorite thing to do every morning is sit on the deck, eat breakfast, and watch the sunrise. There are a lot of loons on the lake that are interesting to observe. The parents often have their ducklings swimming alongside, and we watch as they dive down to get their babies food.
During the day we do water activities, fish, play corn hole, snorkle and relax. Personally, I do a lot of relaxing and laying out on the beach to tan. We like to go canoeing and kayaking, and to make trips to a little island known to us as "the rock". It is a large round rock that looks like the top of a turtle shell. We go to jump off it into the water or to watch the beautiful sunset just prior to nightfall.
This is the sunset from the rock.
We also enjoy making boating or canoeing trips to a little convenience store called Twist's Outlet. We tend to go here nearly every night for ice cream. The couple that runs the little store knows us as the huge family that comes to Canada for one week every year. It is nice to see someone here that recognizes us.
Before nightfall we are always anxious to see the beautiful sunset. I mentioned prior that the rock is one of the places we go to view it. We also have a spectacular view right from the deck that wraps around the camp. The peninsula that the camp is named after (it's called "Paradise Point") has trees in front of the sunset. The colors around the sun and the way the light shines through the trees is absolutely amazing.
This is the sunset from the porch. The trees are on the peninsula.
My neighbors back at home came to visit us for a little for a couple years in a row. They loved it so much that they decided to rent a camp right next to ours. They have been coming to their own camp for three years now. That is one of the kids tubing with me in the picture.
This trip never fails to bring us together. It prevents us from doing unproductive and mindless things such as sitting on our phones or watching tv. I will be forever grateful for this annual week of paradise with my family.
This summer I am spending my time at the beautiful CPT, Camp Pocano Trails, the number one weight loss camp in the world. Here, I've met so amazing and inspiring people; counselors and campers. The experiences and friendships I've made will last me a lifetime, and I am grateful to be involved in these kids' journey to their healthier selves!
I journeyed off to Pennsylvania on June 11th. On arrival I was greeted by a friendly, caring staff who helped me transition into the camp's environment and culture. During orientation, I met some of the most wonderful people, specifically my fellow counselors, each with their own stories: of why they were here, their upbringing, and overall life experiences. These group of people are my family. We share our frustrations, our spectacular moments, and lift one another when times get rough. Together, we'very made some amazing bonds and friendships! Some counselors were campers for previous years, and others, like myself, are fitness/health enthusiasts wanting to help change lives. The people that come here come from all over; the US and the world. Some are from as far as California or Texas, and then all the way from France or the Caribbean islands. I am so thankful to have met each and every one of them.
I work nonstop. From coaching volleyball almost every period of the day's activities, to hanging out and working out with my campers. During my practices my campers become volleyball players in training. We run drills I've made, learn the game, and for the few who play in school we perfect their already existings skills. Each practice is focused on one aspect of the game, whether it is bump passing, setting, hitting, diving, serving, or positioning. The drills refleet what they were taught and the last 15 minutes of the class is all scrimmage and games. Each practice it warms my heart seeing these kids improve and learn to love the sport!
These campers inspire me, because at their young age they are taking the steps to become their healthier and ideal selves. It wasn't until my freshman year of college did I begin my journey. Seeing these individuals transform themselves is incredible. Each week they aren't just losing weight, they are making friendships, maturing, and discovering themselves.
My goals for this summer are: to get into a healthier routine for myself, lose 8-10lbs of body fat, and to make a positive impact on every single camper I meet. At the end of the day I came here to help people, and to show them they can do absolutely anything when they put their minds to it.

How to satisfy their wildly different needs?
On the edge of Abu Dhabi's vast Empty Quarter desert, the Qasr Al Sarab resort offers villas with private pools and modern Orientalist suites. Shifting shadows, windblown ridges, and silhouetted dunes make perfect subjects for budding photographers; inquisitive teens and tweens can interview the experts at the falconry center about baby birds of prey and desert vipers. For the littlest ones, the desert is the world's largest uninterrupted sand box. There's also mountain biking, horseback riding, and dune bashing in a chauffeur-driven SUV (bring vomit bags, and a wheel-less skateboard base for sand surfing). Camel treks and dune walks are calmer options, and area excursions include a visit to a local sheikh's multimillion-dollar auto collection. Parents looking for some alone time will appreciate the on-call babysitters and kid and teen centers, allowing them to steal a date night with a couple's treatment at the spa followed by dinner and a moonlit stroll across the sands (971-2-886-2088; doubles from $243).
Desert temperatures are most comfortable from October through March; November coincides with the Abu Dhabi Art Fair.
Montana's Mountain Sky Guest Ranch, which balances a dude-ranch ethos with upscale amenities and gourmet food. Bordering Gallatin National Forest and a half-hour from Yellowstone, the 6,000-acre property has 31 rustic cabins and provides child care for toddlers. Yoga, fly-fishing, white-water rafting, and horseback riding are just a few of the activities available (800-548-3392; two-bedrooms from $3,590 per adult per week, including all activities; children 7 to 12 from $3,040; children 6 and under, $2,360; kids are permitted in summer only).

Platform appears decent but deal flow is poor. Currently zero deals available (other platforms that I use like CrowdStreet and ShareStates have dozens of deals currently available). Their fees seem to be higher than other platforms though difficult to compare apples to apples as fees are structured differently..

Giuseppe Verdi and Arrigo Boito didn't always see eye to eye on the subject of music drama. On the occasion of the world premiere of Franco Faccio's first opera in 1863, Boito accused Verdi of having sullied the altar of art. Yet in 1881 all three artists were at work together on the premiere production of Otello, with Boito as the librettist, Verdi as the composer and Faccio as the conductor. The multifaceted relationship of these musicians comes out clearly in their letters and texts. Accompanying them the HABE-Quartett – composed of musicians from the Vienna Symphony Orchestra – will perform Verdi's only string quartet and Faccio's probably long unheard quartet. A wide arc that spans Faccio's Hamlet, Verdi's Rigoletto and Boito's Nero.

Her second opera Impresario Dotcom, based on a Carlo Goldoni comedy, will receive its world premiere this summer. Her orchestral piece with the shimmering sounds of a May fly will be performed by the Vienna Symphony Orchestra under the Rigoletto conductor Enrique Mazzola. Ľubica Čekovská is as a matter of fact an exceptionally versatile composer. As a child she improvised on folk songs from her native Slovakia; while studying in London she earned money as a pianist in a bar playing jazz classics with fellow musicians. Today she composes equally for the stage and the cinema. She will give a sample of her versatility in this concert with her musical partners. On her excursion through her musical world she will take in George Gershwin, Fats Waller as well as Mary Lou Williams, who wrote for Duke Ellington and Benny Goodman among others.

Tenor Julian Prégardien is as highly acclaimed in lieder singing as he is in opera and Johann Sebastian Bach's oratorios, having performed for instance at the Schubertiade and the Salzburg Festival. He was the first singer to perform Thomas Larcher's fascinating Padmore Cycle after the dedicatee, Mark Padmore. Here, together with the pianist and harpsichordist Tamar Halperin, he presents a sweeping musical canvas, commencing with the early days of opera, in which Giulio Caccini recounted small stories with arias and songs, also in cyclical form. The versatile harpsichordist then performs Johann Sebastian Bach's music, thus linking up with the German repertoire, where finally Hans Aschenwald's and Alois Hotschnig's inimitable poetry is heard in Larcher's sometimes extremely pared-down settings.

Dark Electro -Fuel To the Fire, number 3 of 50.
This could be another theme for the Ghost, but we'll see what happens
in the coming months before I give it that honour. I'll post each track
here and on last fm, myspace (facebook can forget it).
I do what I say I'm going to do, always.
Once again I let actions do the talking and the music speak for itself.
Sure lots of people thought 1 a week wouldn't happen,
well here it is, and they're not crap either are they?
We'll let things happen on the field of play,
and yet again I challenge in a few years where I'll be and where
the doubters will be, I'll gladly throw down that gauntlet.
Film Makers and Music people talk a lot,
as I've discovered, they don't do what they say most of the time.
I'm saying nothing more than you judge for yourself by listening to the
recent Orchestral film demos of mine, and decide why they're not
going to feature in any films. Again, we'll let results do the talking.
I did discover in interviews that the most successful composers,
time after time, know when to fight, flex, or walk away.
But they are NOT generic, doing music by numbers or plagiarism.
They bring something to the table unique to them, they fit the film.
The film will be badly damaged by adding something over produced.
But that's a lesson I don't need to learn…..

"Programmers hardly ever get jealous on encountering "beautiful" code. Instead we admire, we complement and promote. In the midst of this flurry of altruistic feelings, we must continually benchmark our proficiency and will ourselves to higher levels of beautiful code creation. Creating beautiful code is fun." – Victor Dibia .

"Hi, I am a freshman student, how can I learn to write programs ? I like some of the apps you have designed – how can I learn to develop apps like that ? I am a computer science graduate, but I don't really have much software development experience – is it too late to learn ? "
Sometimes, I get the above questions from colleagues – especially students that I have had the opportunity to mentor. I have written this post to collate some answers I have given in the past, bundled with some anecdotes. While the overall tone of the post is to provide useful tips and guide students in developing countries towards building up world class proficiency in software development, it should also be definitely useful to ALL students. I must also mention that the article is also fairly subjective as its based off of my own experiences.
Here are my top 8 tips
1. Motivate yourself , Make your CodeVow
So, why do you want to learn how to program ? If you have a clear answer that leaps to mind, that's awesome! It might be because you have looked into the eye of "beautiful code" and you loved what you saw. Or you appreciate the creative and artistic elements entwined with software engineering. Or you would like to be the next Mark Zuckerberg (which is ABSOLUTELY fine). Or you simply just want to make money. Your reasons may change over time. But you should have a reason, a goal that would propel you during the learning journey.
Prior to commencing my bachelors degree back in 2003, I was in a pre-degree study program and that's where I met a really smart young man – Remi. Remi's nick name was pc-guru . Few people had pc's back then – say 3 students in the entire male dormitory and they were all good friends with Remi. He cloned pc's , purchased parts (hdds, memory, pci components etc) and could easily troubleshoot/fix ALL issues. ALL. Heck, even the computer lab technician consulted his help in fixing the lab computers! He was also an avid gamer and I remember many hours we all spent crowded around, watching him successfully play and finish the seemingly insurmountable adventure/fantasy game Lara Croft – Tomb Raider. I admired Remi very deeply and learned a lot from him. I remember him explaining to me the differences between serial ports, parallel ports, usb ports , converters and how I could check if an old pc at home could support a USB game pad I was saving up to buy (through him) . I also remember arriving at the computer lab one afternoon and seeing him teach the lab assistant how to write C/C++ code. You see, Remi was a pre-degree student just like me and his major was business administration. I was a computer engineering major and I saw C/C++ code for the first time that day. That same day, I vowed to become a rockstar programmer. I'd read, I'd study, I'll make out extra time regularly, I'd beg for help where needed .. and I'll learn to code. CodeVow, Bam!
Generally speaking, the more intrinsic your motivations are, the longer it will last in helping you achieve at your destination. Rockstar programmer.
2. Study to Show thyself Diligent.
Bill and Bruce went into the forest with cutlasses each day to cut down trees. Consistently , Bill cut down 5 trees each day and Bruce cut down just 2. One day, frustrated, Bruce asked Bill what his secret was, given they were of equal stature and strength. Bill replied "After cutting down each tree, I spend half an hour sharpening my cutlass" .
The good book says, study to show thyself approved, a workman who is not ashamed. Similarly, in order to write good code, you MUST study. First, you need to study in order to learn a programming language at the genesis of the entire process. After that you need to keep studying to apprise yourself of latest algorithms, design patterns, frameworks and libraries that incorporate recent technology. Technologies change and languages evolve over time.
Its also important to be practical, thorough and unrelenting in your study. Purchase or download a free book on a modern mainstream programming language of your choice (C, C++, Java) and consume it from cover to cover. Yes, COVER TO COVER. Also, completely code ALL examples and exercises! ALL examples. This will greatly boost your knowledge base, confidence and comfort with code. Be patient with yourself, it takes time.
After I met Remi and made my CodeVow, I scheduled 6 hours each week specially for learning to code, went to the library and started with a 300 page book on "Introduction to programming in C". I had no access to a pc for practice so I wrote a notebook full of practice code (until I got a pc with a compiler and tested each one months after). And that's how it all started. With same methods, I learned Fortran, Visual Basic 6, HTML, ASP.net , PHP , Javascript, Java (android and blackberry) .. in that order. Even today, when I have any project that involves new technology (e.g Cocos2D, Google App Engine, Amazon E3 etc), my approach is to read a whole book or online tutorial before I start writing ANY code.
3. Take on Free Projects – Build your portfolio
When you are starting out, Free is your best friend. Free projects can mean alot of stuff. It can mean a free website for your uncle. A free design banner or website for your school association. Helping out with a friends coding project. Or even contributing to an open source project. Free projects help you build your brand, build your portfolio and build your confidence .
I learned to create designs in Fireworks so I could make posters for my local IEEE student branch where I volunteered. I also created my first "hosted" website in ASP.net and then PHP (IEEE hosting service supports only php) for the local IEEE student branch . And after a year of doing this and gaining some experience, I started to give classes on web design to freshmen students. All for free. I did lots of free stuff and for several years 🙂 . Ofcourse, at some point, doing free stuff should end and when this time arrives, you'll know it. Your (free) work will have been referred, your satisfied clients will actively advocate for you, and people will be happy to part with money for your services. I remember a team of senior students who'd seen my free work, "hired" me to train them on coding and help them build some part of their final year project.
Also, as a programmer/developer, it is not uncommon for people to ask you "what have you done" . In fact, you will get asked this question a lot! Conversations can end very quickly if you don't have stuff to show. On the other hand, a solid portfolio of projects will help you establish the credibility you need in order to charge commensurate fees for your output. These tips on when to work for free by Seth Godin are useful, should you become indecisive on when to charge or not.
Free or paid ? And when you find yourself in competition with those who do it for free, your approach should be simple – Create something that is better than free. Seth Godin aptly describes the situation in his blog post – Better than free
There's only one way: Sell something better than free.
Make a product or provide a service that's worth paying for.
You don't need a better way to talk about what you do, or a better gimmick, or a better social media strategy. In fact, you need to reinvent and rebuild what you make for a new reality, a reality where paying for something is an intentional act of buying something way better than the free alternative.
I'm sorry if this seems obvious. It's apparently not obvious to all the frustrated people I encounter who are still trying to sell the old thing in a new market.
4. Benchmark Yourself – Reverse Engineer
By bench-marking, I mean comparing your output with the best out there. Whenever I start a new project (graphic design, web app, mobile app), I usually perform a simple Google search on the project title to see how other programmers and designers have implemented it. Whenever I encounter complex designs which I cant seem to fathom, I shamelessly download them (if possible and permitted) and study (reverse engineer) the code. And out of the ashes of several reverse engineered projects, my own projects are born – standing tall on the shoulders of extant experience and comparable amongst its peers . In addition to learning, another reason why you should benchmark is to avoid re-inventing the wheel. I remember writing complex Ajax calls with lots of lines of code , almost implementing my own (inefficient) mini-JQuery library, before I found JQuery. And examine how your projects compare with best practices. Are your websites responsive ? Are you implementing HTLM5 to keep your interface lighter and faster ? Are you implementing analytics? Are your website tags compliant with standards ? Do your websites have well structured keywords ? Are your websites designed for easy navigation and accessibility? Are your game app graphics smooth and animations fluid ? Are your fonts as visually appealing ? etc .
5. Participate in Hackathons and Challenges
Hackathons and Coding Challenges are coding events setup by large organisations where developers build software, solve problems and win prizes. They are opportunities to build up your portfolio, learn new technologies, meet other developers, earn cash/devices (and other cool prizes), get introduced to the community and build your reputation. We all have ideas that we want to implement and a Hackathon can become an excellent avenue to build such ideas into products. Many times, the benefits are cascading.
You win a Hackathon -> Your reputation grows -> You get invited for more Hackathons -> You get offered more paid projects -> You gain more experience -> You make more money (hopefully) .
One of my first Hackathons was at Gnigeria 2012 . There was a html5 hackathon session where code labs where given, and skeleton code provided. That day, I was lucky to correctly solve the codelabs and went home with a Samsung Galaxy S2. I still use it till today. I also remember reading a Anthony Rizk's book on blackberry development in a hurry and cranking out a winning conference app on the blackberry java platform during the Mobile Web West Africa 2012 conference. Both hackathons were instrumental to me getting the opportunity to teach at the MIT / Google Accelerating Information Technology Initiative at University of Lagos , Summer of 2012, getting invited to speak at the Mobile Entertainmen Africa Conference and also speaking at the Blackberry Live 2013 Conference . Such events inspire me to be the best I can be and to take advantage of such opportunities whenever they present themselves . To learn more about hackathons, please follow your local community technology news outlets /blogs or visit sites such as www.hackathon.io or challengepost.com for info on general hackathons/challenges.
6. Code to Solve Problems – Study and get good with Algorithms and Data Structures.
As good programmers, we must be adept at problem solving. This requires we be excellent at clear logical thinking. This then requires ability to draw on well-exercised analytical thinking . Normally, this is NOT a natural trait. It needs to be learned and exercised. If your bachelors degree is in computer science, you might have had the opportunity to take a class in data structures, and algorithms. Ensure you pay extreme attention and solve lots of problems independently. To give a clear example, if you do not know (or are not sure of) what the following mean, then your algorithms background is in need of some extra brush up : Quicksort, BubbleSort, HeapSort, MergeSort, Insertion Sort, External Sorting . Your data structures will need help also if you cannot implement a binary tree, heap, stack , queue, priority queue, linkedlist, tree, and graph.
Consider the problem below ? How long does it take you to implement a working solution ? Happy to learn about and discuss your solutions in the comment section below.
Assume you have a method isSubstring which checks if one word is a substring of another. Given two strings, s1 and s2, write code to check if s2 is a rotation of s1 using only one call to isSubstring (i.e., "waterbottle" is a rotation of "erbottlewat").
In my opinion, being able to solve challenging algorithmic problems like the one above in a methodological precise manner is a clear demonstration of "analytical thinking" – which almost everyone seems to have on their resumes these days.
I did complete a bachelors degree in computer science and never got the chance to take a course in Algorithms (unfortunately there was none offered!!) . So, in my free time, I practice algorithms. I primarily use Project Euler for my personal study and hope to ride on to TopCoder when I exhaust the projecteuler stash of problems. And oh .. this section wont be complete without mentioning that Software Engineering Job/Internship interviews with multinational IT companies like Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, Facebook, Amazon (where we all want to work) are usually made up of algorithms and data structure questions.
7. Practice Deliberately – Never Stop Coding !
From time to time, life gets busy .. we go back to school, get a full time (non-coding) job, take an extended break, travel, get married, have a family etc . Every few months, its good to write some code. Learn a new programming language while you are at it too. Most decent programmers I know are usually awesome at one or two language and knowledgeable in about 3+. The importance of deliberate practice cannot be over emphasized. Many people wonder how much effort it takes to become good at your craft. The golden number is 10,000 hours. This article on the bufferblog is laden with practice and perfection inspiration. I encourage you to read it .. here's an excerpt based on Kobe Bryant's daily personal practice schedule before Team USA's regular practice session
For those of you keeping track at home, Kobe Bryant started his conditioning work around 4:30am, continued to run and sprint until 6am, lifted weights from 6am to 7am, and finally proceeded to make 800 jump shots between 7am and 11am.
And he did all of this before the regular Team USA training began. Each day.
800. Jumpshots . (not shots). To this end, I have a personal habit of learning a new programming language or platform every year or so. In recent times its been from making blackberry apps, windows phone apps, android apps , to more recently tizen wearable apps etc. Its also involved learning new frameworks such as Nodejs, Meteorjs and working with data visualization packages and tools. Never stop learning!
Finally – When and where do I start Programming ?
Now. Start right now. I started in my freshman year of college and if you are lucky to start that early … by all means do! With the rise of MOOCs , there are more resources available to help you learn than every before. You may take an online programming class from Udacity such as Introduction to Programming in Java and try to see it through from beginning to end, solving ALL problems. Other platforms include MIT Open courseware, Coursera, CodeAcademy, etc . Select whichever looks cool to you, just get started.
I have been experimenting with programming since 2004, and still have lots to learn. Wishing you best of luck as you start/continue this journey. Got questions or suggestions on more tips to consider when learning to code ? Please drop them in the comments section below.

Case Study: University of Arkansas Harmon Avenue Parking Facility
Quick Facts
Project: $30 million, nine-level parking garage – 2149 spaces
Owner: University of Arkansas, (Fayetteville, AR)
General Contractor: Baldwin & Shell (Little Rock, AR)
Consulting Engineers: I.C.E. (Little Rock, AR) Walker Parking Consultants (Houston, TX)
Architect: Polk, Stanley, Rowland, Curzon & Porter (Little Rock, AR)
Lab: Grubbs, Hoskyn, Barton & Wyatt, Inc., (Springdale, AR).
Concrete Sub: Cantera - Manhattan Construction (Tulsa, OK)
Concrete Provider: Central Redi-Mix (Springdale, AR)
The initial driver for adopting the intelliRock system on this $30 million, nine-level, multiple access parking facility was to enhance the project's critical path. But on the first elevated deck pour, intelliRock revealed that the concrete delivered did not meet the specifications. These deck sections were removed and replaced, setting the job back over 30 days. Using intelliRock removed an average of a day or more of curing "wait time" from each concrete placement, helping recapture half of the time lost.
Project Background
The University of Arkansas Harmon Parking Facility project started in March 2003. The first concrete was placed during January 2004 and the last concrete was placed on April 22, 2005. The facility provides 2149 parking spaces.
The general contractor was Baldwin & Shell. During the fall of 2003, Ted Grumbine, Senior Project Manager for Baldwin & Shell, approached Rick Hamilton, Construction Coordinator for Facilities Management at the University of Arkansas, about the possibly of using the intelliRock system on the $30 million parking structure project. Grumbine, an architect by training, knew of the intelliRock system from its use on the Interstate 40 emergency bridge repair project that occurred during the summer of 2002 – ENR August 2002.
Hamilton's initial reaction toward intelliRock was skepticism. A construction manager with a background in construction inspection and materials testing, Hamilton had witnessed several new technologies that failed to live up to their claims.
To discuss the possible use of intelliRock on the project, a meeting was held with the key participants including: Mr. Grumbine, Mr. Hamilton, consulting engineer Mr. James Beatty, P.E. Principal of I.C.E., and Mr. Mark Barton, P.E. and Vice-President of Grubbs, Hoskyn, Barton & Wyatt, Inc. – the testing laboratory, and Mr. Richard Sallee Vice-President of Engius, the manufacturer of the intelliRock system.
During this meeting, the additional advantages of the intelliRock system were explained. The initial motivation for using the system was to enhance the project's critical path. In addition, intelliRock also enhanced the Quality Control (QC) and Quality Assurance (QA) initiatives of the project, challenging tasks due to the weather extremes of northwest Arkansas - hot summers and cold winters.
The intelliRock system uses an embedded sensor to measure temperature and calculate concrete maturity in real time with no permanently affixed external devices. The sensor (or "logger") is placed into the concrete structure at the time of placement and then activated using a handheld reader. The reader is then disconnected, leaving only 18-gauge lead wires protruding from the concrete. Whenever a strength measurement is desired, the handheld reader easily connects to the leads and the current maturity and associated temperature is displayed. In addition, a history of temperature and maturity values, and the time-stamped minimum and maximum temperatures are displayed. Sensor data is downloadable to a personal computer in a secure, unalterable format.
"During the construction phase the intelliRock system proved its worth by supplementing the construction efforts in each of these ways – the critical path, QC and QA," said Richard Welcher, P.E. Project Engineer, CMT Project Manager. "Plus Case Study: University of Arkansas Harmon Avenue Parking Facility Quick Facts: Project: $30 million, nine-level parking garage – 2149 spaces Owner: University of Arkansas, (Fayetteville, AR) General Contractor: Baldwin & Shell (Little Rock, AR) Consulting Engineers: I.C.E. (Little Rock, AR) Walker Parking Consultants (Houston, TX) Architect: Polk, Stanley, Rowland, Curzon & Porter (Little Rock, AR) Lab: Grubbs, Hoskyn, Barton & Wyatt, Inc., (Springdale, AR). Concrete Sub: Cantera - Manhattan Construction (Tulsa, OK) Concrete Provider: Central Redi-Mix (Springdale, AR) the system produces in-situ data that is both unalterable and uninterruptible."
This project was a post tensioning (PT) job. Knowing when to pull the PT tendons and when to safely remove the form work were critical factors, particularly since there were several weeks of colder than normal weather during the winter of 2004 and spring of 2005. The deck pours were relatively large, often exceeding 700 cubic yards of concrete. On a placement of that size, between five and seven sensors were used. An advantage of the intelliRock system is that sensor placement can occur at specific locations where the determination of strength is critical, such as near PT cables, inside beams or other locations.
Quality Control
The QC benefits of intelliRock were experienced on the first elevated deck pour. Welcher noticed that the concrete delivered did not seem to meet the specifications. The intelliRock sensors confirmed this suspicion, indicating extremely low maturity readings compared to pre-construction calibration curve [ASTM C 1074]. These deck sections were subsequently removed, setting the job back over 30 days. The root cause of the problem was traced to the batch plant which had performed some recalibration the previous night. The calibration scale company inadvertently severed a wire to the cement scale. Consequently, cement weights were far off from the specified mix. The valuable QC data the intelliRock system provided served the project well, allowing early detection of the mix problem. Mr. Stacy Prince, Quality Assurance Manager for Central Redi-Mix concluded "The intelliRock system is the most dependable and accurate means of gauging the curing of concrete I have come across. This system seems immune to many of the known factors, such as weather and testing issues, which result in inaccurate strength results. Once a calibration curve has been established with a mixture you have totally reliable and accurate values to utilize for form removal and structure loading."
Quality Assurance
The value of intelliRock as a QA solution was proven on the project as well. During colder weather months there were instances where lab-cured test cylinders indicated that the concrete had attained its strength. However, intelliRock sensors within the placement revealed that it had not yet attained the strength necessary to proceed to the next phase of construction. The project did not proceed until the intelliRock sensors indicated the necessary strength had been realized. This dramatically reduced the risk of over stressing and damaging the green concrete from the post tension cables. More importantly, the intelliRock sensor data prevented premature removal of forms, enhancing project safety. "We considered it imperative that the sensor validation protocol be adhered to," said Hamilton.
Critical Path
The mix quality problem on this project caused an expensive 31-day delay. Even with good management practices redirecting work efforts to other areas, the net delay to the entire project was reduced to 16 days. Using the intelliRock system helped recapture an average of a day or more of curing "wait time" from each concrete placement, an indispensable schedule recovery tool.
In addition to saving valuable construction days, intelliRock also accelerated the critical path for activities that required strength documentation of the in-place concrete before proceeding. "This really helps the total work flow of the project," stated Hamilton.
Within a short time, the principals on the project became comfortable with the performance and consistency of the intelliRock system. The inspecting engineer approved the system's use to predict when strength would be attained and thus to press the construction schedule.
"The system did a wonderful job for what it is designed to do and I would not hesitate to use it again," concluded Grumbine.
"The IntelliRock system provides an excellent informational and monitoring tool, as well as providing an element of safety we never had previously. I would expect the University of Arkansas to use it for all our multi-story projects," said Hamilton.

Call Direct To Order 561-629-5618
Why We No Longer Sell Tracs HEPA Air Purifiers With UV Light Systems >> CLICK HERE <<
HEPA Air Purifiers with UV
Best HEPA Air Purifiers With UV Light Systems To Destroy Biological Contaminants
Best HEPA air purifiers with UV (ultraviolet light systems) are now the first choice for educated consumers with dust, allergy and asthma problems that also want to eliminate biological contaminants. These UV units are being purchased and utilized in both home and office indoor air environments. That is because they filter the air of dust, allergens, pet dander, off-gassing chemicals while also destroying airborne viruses, (Including The COVID-19 Coronavirus), bacteria and mold spores. These triggers create a multitude of respiratory problems and immune system dysfunctions that are on the rise for many people in alarming numbers. This is due to environmental issues and construction shortcuts that all too often lead to poor indoor air quality problems in our living and working environments.
Why use a HEPA Air Purifier With A UV Light System
Without quality HEPA air purifiers with UV light systems operating in our living spaces, indoor allergens and biological contaminant problems will worsen. This is because of our lack of proper insulation and fresh air flow in the air tight, energy efficient homes and buildings we live and work in. More than ever people are now breathing a cocktail of contaminants that are lowering their immune systems and making entire families, pets and office workers chronically sick! This trend of people becoming Ill from poor indoor air quality is called Sick Building Syndrome and it is occurring in alarming numbers!
Air Purifiers Made In China Are Low Quality, Leaky And Not Sealed Properly. Stay Away From Them!
Absolute Air Cleaners Air Purifiers have tested many dozens of HEPA air purifiers both with and without UV light systems. Absolute Air Cleaners has done these test since its inception in 1989! Most of these units are Chinese made and have been found to be very low in quality. Also Chinese units are not properly sealed at both the HEPA filter and the case of the air purifier itself. This allows a large percentage of dust, allergens, pet dander, chemical off-gassing and biological contaminants to spew out while operating. This causes us to breathe in a good amount of these contaminants all over again! This is counter productive for people needing air purifiers that actually clean the indoor air properly to keep them healthy!
The Absolute Best HEPA Air Purifiers With UV (Ultraviolet Light Systems) Are Manufactured By Airpura of Canada
Which are the best HEPA air purifiers with UV light systems that we have tested? They are the Newest Airpura unit called the S600 HEPA UV air purifier and the UV600 HEPA air purifier (Both Made In Canada) These two amazing units are proven to do the absolute best job of quickly and quietly cleaning the air of dust, dust mite allergen, pollens, pet dander, other allergens and chemical off-gassing while also destroying biological contaminates. These toxic and highly reactive contaminants include airborne viruses, bacteria and mold spores.
The Best UV HEPA Air Purifiers Clean Up To And Over 1000 Square Feet
The best HEPA air purifiers can clean the air of allergens, odors and outgassing chemicals in spaces up to and over 1000 square feet! The cleaning ability is even better for smaller areas because the smaller the area to be cleaned the higher the air exchange rate will be per hour for increased performance! All three units which include the NEWEST Airpura S600 UV HEPA air purifier and the Airpura UV600 HEPA air purifiers with UV light systems contains multiple pounds of replaceable activated carbon. This is to absorb odors and chemical off-gassing from newer carpeting, home furnishings, paints, plastics and pesticides. Both units will produce 13-15 air exchanges per hour in an average bedroom size area! The Airpura units are both quiet and the most powerful the market! Most customers will place one unit in any bedroom where people are suffering and another unit in the family room. This is so they can easily walk from one main living space to the other while always enjoying the clean purified air without reacting to any allergens! Businesses often purchase these Airpura units for any office workers that are prone to being sick. This is to keep their workers healthy, happy and more productive!
The Best UV HEPA Air Purifiers For People Going Through Chemotherapy Stem Cell, Bone Marrow And Organ Transplants
When going through chemotherapy to destroy cancer cells or to prepare the body with chemo for a stem cell transplant, bone marrow transplant or organ transplant, the immune system is chemically destroyed so it cannot quickly reject the transplant. Once the immune system is destroyed it can be a life or death situation if airborne viruses, bacteria or mold spores enter and are taken into the body! To protect the body from being contaminated the indoor environment must be kept extremely clean and this includes the indoor air as well! The absolute best HEPA air purifier choices that include UV (ultraviolet light) systems that will be able to destroy the airborne viruses ( Including The COVID-19 Coronavirus), bacteria and mold spores in the home, office, doctors office or hospital indoor air environment is the NEW Airpura S600 UV HEPA air purifier, Airpura UV600 HEPA air purifier (Both Made In Canada).

Alaska Airlines raises fees for checked bags
United, JetBlue, and Delta did it. Now it's time for Alaska Airlines to raise prices on checked bags.
Beginning December 5, 2018, your first checked bag will now cost $30 — up from $25. The second checked bag will cost $40, up from $25. The third checked bag will cost $100, up from $75.
The bag fee increases mirror the changes Delta made last month for flights in North America, the Caribbean, and Central America.
In September, Delta quietly raised the prices of the first and second checked bags by $5 each. The first checked bag will now cost $30 — up from $25.
The second checked bag will now cost $40, up from $35.
A Delta spokesperson confirmed the change, telling CNN that it "routinely makes fee adjustments."
The price hikes come about a month after United and JetBlue hiked their baggage prices by $5 each.
American Airlines declined to comment if it will follow.
In July, Delta and American both cut their outlooks for full year earnings. The International Air Transport Association, a global industry group, has slashed its forecast for total profits for the global airline industry in 2018 by 12%.
The airlines are making up those costs with ancillary fees, like checking bags and picking a seat.
Delta collected $375 million in baggage fees during the first six months of 2018, according to Bureau of Transportation statistics. That was down 15% from the same period last year.
Overall, the US airline industry collected $2.4 billion in the first six months of the year, which was up 7% from the same period a year earlier.
CNN contributed to this report.

"My advice to students studying abroad would be to be willing to take risks; whether it be trying a new food, or exploring a new culture, in doing so you will come to find the reward invaluable."
"My study abroad experience changed my whole outlook on life. I had never left the country before going abroad and experiencing another culture was completely eye opening. I met so many different people from all over the world during my time abroad, now I have friends all over the globe."
"Bringing nursing students to France to learn about nursing and healthcare in a different setting is an eye opening experience. Observing hospitals, clinics and home health nurses demonstrated incredible differences from the 'evidence based practice' we espouse in the USA. We found a greater emphasis on caring; particularly with regard to home care for elders. Of course there was ample time to sightsee!!"
"I would love for more students to know that studying abroad is an amazing way of getting to know yourself and the others!"
We're excited you're considering a truly life-changing global experience. We look forward to helping you reach your destination.

Story: The first place I visit in Naples is Mercato di Porta Nolana, a stone's throw from Piazza Garibaldi. I like soaking up the colours, flavours and noises of a city, so markets are usually my first port of call. I watch the locals go about their life, interested to see what they buy and talk about.
Porta Nolana is a pedestrian market overflowing with local produce, particularly seafood, which spans everything from mussels and clams to lobster, octopus, mantis shrimp and sea urchins. The vendors are incredibly friendly, which might have something to do with the fact that I'm a blonde foreigner who speaks Italian and wants to take their picture. I have numerous exchanges, get several invitations to dinner and pose for a couple of selfies with local fishermen.
My next stop is Mercato Pignasecca. On my way I meet Carmine, a Neapolitan whose family has owned a small fish shop in the city for over 50 years, which he now runs with his nephews. He claims to sell the freshest seafood in Naples and numerous customers who stop by during my visit agree. Carmine recommends Trattoria da Concetta for dinner, which was opened recently by another of his nephews. They specialise in seafood and, needless to say, Carmine's Pescheria Sasà is their supplier.
La Pignasecca has the atmosphere of a relaxed small town market. Nobody seems to be in a hurry; people take time to choose the best fruit and chat to stallholders. Some decide to take a break from their grocery shopping to enjoy fried sardines or crispy arancini washed down with a cold bottle of Peroni. The more adventurous plump for tripe seasoned with lemon and salt from Tripperia Fiorenzano. I wasn't brave enough to try it, but it's given me yet another reason to go back.

Florida Georgia Line Rock The CMT Awards With 'Anything Goes' Performance
The bad boys of Florida Georgia Line performed their hit song 'Anything Goes' right in the heart of downtown Nashville surrounded by their biggest fans. Awesome!
Florida Georgia Line is made up of Brian Kelley and Tyler Hubbard, and they are known for being the party hard rockers of country music. Shortly after winning the CMT Music Award for Duo Video of the Year, the boys took over the outdoor stage right smack in the middle of Nashville, Tenn. to show country music how an awards show performance is done!
Before the boys of Florida Georgia Line took the CMT Music Awards stage for a live performance, they were honored with an introduction by country music star Cole Swindell. Brian and Tyler were their typical laid-back selves when they hit the outdoor stage, and the crowd full of fans could not have been more thrilled to watch them perform in the streets of Nashville!
They performed "Anything Goes," which is a pretty great party song that defines what Florida Georgia Line is all about: living life to the fullest. In the middle of their performance, both Brian and Tyler hopped down into the crowd to shake a few hands and sing directly to their super excited fans. Now that's an awesome way to show your fans how much you appreciate their support!
FGL Nominated For 2 CMT Music Awards
Before the boys of Florida Georgia Line even took the stage for their performance at the CMT Music Awards, they were already a major part of the show as nominees. Although they were only nominated in two categories, they just so happened to be two very important categories: Video of the Year and Duo Video of the Year!
Making things even more exciting, just a few minutes before rocking the CMT Music Awards stage they were honored with the Duo Video of the Year Award. Congrats, guys!
What did YOU think of Florida Georgia Line's performance, HollywoodLifers? Leave your thoughts in the comments below!
