No elevator…none, zero, zip, and three storeys.
Close to Hershey Park
Where do I start. 1. Old, dated and not very clean, 2. Multi-floor hotel WITHOUT an elevator. I had to carry my entire family's luggage up stairs, 3. Very uncomfortable bed and pillows, 3. Continental breakfast consisted of mini waffles, dry cereal, frozen hard boiled eggs, and juice that tasted rancid. I would definitely NOT recommend this hotel unless you had no other choice. This hotel gets 1-1/2 starts from me and I've stayed in TONS of hotels (of all ranges) in my life.
The flat screen tv
Rooms are out dated, pillows are Horrible, Seen a bed bug
The place was clean enough.
When we got there, door to our room was propped open, and pillows were disheveled. Front desk said that housekeepingmust have forgotten to close it. No thought by them to double check the room. Hotel had NO SHAMPOO! How does this happen? Didn't notice until the morning when we went to shower, and apparently they didn't know either, because they said they would send some up. I wentdown after about 15 minutes of waiting, and they said that they didn't have any. No thought to call the room though. Breakfast had a selection of 4 items total, etc. Etc. Etc... would never stay here again, even if it were for free. It had nothing to do with the facilities, the people running it are not competent.
The suites are enormous. The staff is very friendly. They have free hot tea, coffee & hot chocolate in the lobby 24/7. To quote my girlfriend, "This bed is heaven."
There wasn't really much I didn't like except the TV was incredibly far away from the bed, but you can pretty much chalk that up to the size of the room.
Location was good. Staff was courteous and pleasant..
Room was sub-standard for the price. Bed was "thrown together" every day. Bed sheets were thread bare and did not fit well. Bunched up and was terrible to sleep on.
Air conditioner blew directly on us while in bed. Bed should be on opposite wall. Very uncomfortable and LOUD!
Very clean and large room. Good value and amenities.
It was a new hotel and that was a plus.
The hotel is rectangle centered on the property with the parking lot wrapped around it. The floodlights for the parking lot are aimed towards the building. There are no heavy curtains on the windows and my room was never dark.
Room and hallway smelled of smoke, no elevator to the floor that I was on and a long walk.
Was wasn't very happy. I was good that I only needed to get some sleep. The resturant attached as advertised didnt even look like it was open for awhile.
Room was nice breakfast was good ..
Pool open late. Covered free parking. Clean. Chocolate smell in the morning was awesome !!
Breakfast was great, but extremely crowded and crazy. Layout could make things run a little better, as well as moving tables a little further away.
Very Close to the park with free shuttle. Free breakfast was not too bad
Pool was very small. Also our room had cracks and water damage to the walls and ceilings
the staff was friendly
the bed was horrible had a lump in it did not get any sleep
Nice hotel, friendly staff. Conveniently located to Hershey Park.
Nice rooms. Very nice facilities. Excellent breakfast choices.
The staff was friendly. Beds a little harder than other springhills
The breakfast was awful for this star level and price.
The price was cheap! It was easy to find.
It was run down and needed repairs. Cracked floor and wall tiles in the bathroom. The refrigerator, air conditioner and lamp were all unplugged, probably because the last guest needed the outlet to charge their cell phone or laptop and there wasn't any.
No room service, torn curtains, and TV didn't work.
Great price and location while traveling to New York. I wish we could have stayed more than one night to see more of the area.
Staff was pleasant and helpful would recommend to who ever I know thinking of going to Hershey
Friendly staff, very clean rooms, and clean lobby.
I could hear the inhabitants of the troom adjacent to mine. I could hear them snore, and talk loudly at 1 am.
The continental breakfast which included waffle makers was adequate. The covered parking area was beneficial.
Staff was VERY friendly and helpful
Lots and lots of electrical plugs, which is very important when traveling with CPAP machine and multiple electronic devices
Really good breakfast
Good pool and workout room
Moslty travel in the Midwest so not used to the east coast prices
It's in an ideal location. Staff was friendly enough.
It's old and desperately needs remodeled. My room adjoined two others and wasn't particularly soundproof. It didn't feel private or particularly safe.The couple next door made a lot of noise which was obnoxious. The room was drafty and cold.
The rooms were ok. I was there for a business class and only needed to stay one night and it was $65 so it served its purpose.
Got my reservation wrong, booked a king which they didn't have so they "upgraded" me to a two double bed room, I was with me girlfriend and the reason I got the king was so we could sleep cofortably in one bed, needless to say that did not happen. When I asked for a switch I was told that they had no more kings and I was not able to get a king or even a queen room that they were just "trying to be nice".
Found cockroach in bathroom. (Alive)
Dirty with lots of cigarette butts outside room door.
Room smelled of cigarette smoke.
Breakfast was Blah.

Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.

My husband and I stayed at this resort for our honeymoon. On our arrival we received an amazing welcome. We were given lovely bottle of Jamaican rum. We were treated to a champagne breakfast in our room. We booked this on arrival for the next morning. Service was prompt, food was hot and delicious, we had ours on the balcony.
Our room was in the most amazing position, just 100 yards from the beach. We thought at first being pool side and ground floor wouldn't be great but this was ideal, we were on the quiet side of the pool and everything was very accessible.
We enjoyed the daily arrival of the Jerk chicken kart at lunchtime. The fresh fruit kart was also lovely.
I would say take some ones for tips throughout the day, the staff are lovely and very helpful.
The best restaurant was definitely the French restaurant.
Beach towels were provided from the little hut near the swimming pool. Definitely a must to get up early to secure a prime location on the beach.
The time of year we went in we found early morning sunbathing was best as the clouds came over about 3pm.
Worth packing some nice dresses and outfits for dinner for the restaurants that ask for casual elegance.
My husband took some linen trousers and linen long sleeved shirts and some closed tow flip flops and this was perfect. Some people did get turned away in shorts and flipflops.
The shops at the resort were charge to the room but there was a bureau de change for cash.
The rooms had jacuzzis which were great. The beds were the best beds I've ever slept in, soooo comfortable.
We travelled to make things special so we flew Thomson and the premium seating. On the way there from Birmingham we went to the Birmingham lounge which was amazing and so worth it. We would definitely recommend this.
On our return we went to the Montego Bay VIP lounge, this also was worth its weight in gold. It had a separate quiet area which was amazing. We paid the equivalent of £15 each, this was perfect.
The resort overall was beautiful, picturesque, clean and the staff were very friendly. It was amazing and we would definitely go back.

TriMet: New Max line getting on (eco)track
- Andy Giegerich
- Digital Managing Editor- Portland Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | Google+
As completion of the Portland-Milwaukie Light Rail line hits the 70 percent mark, TriMet officials want future riders to take note of what they're calling an "eco-track" at one of the project's new stations.
The vegetated trackway, which aims to reduce stormwater runoff, is among the first such efforts in the U.S. It will adorn a station at Southwest Lincoln Street and Third Avenue near the Portland State University campus.
The installation "will provide a colorful carpet of low-growing plants along 200 feet of light rail line," according to the transit agency. The technique is common in Europe and consists of one-inch thick mats that contain various species of sedum, which are a hardy low-maintenance vegatation.
Stacy and Witbeck Inc. installed the track last month.
The 7.3-mile project is set to open Sept. 12, 2015. It will essentially link downtown Portland with North Clackamas County via light rail.
Andy is the Portland Business Journal's digital managing editor, overseeing the daily digital news operation.

Lt. Governor
Simon hosts college affordability summits
The Southern Illinoisan
October 11, 2012
A series of summits hosted by Lt. Gov. Sheila Simon will call on government and university officials to keep college affordable for Illinois families.
Simon kicks off her first event today at the University of Illinois at Chicago. A similar event is set for Monday at SIU Carbondale. No specific time or place on campus has been announced.
Average costs for getting a degree at a public university have increased 128 percent since 1980, adjusted for inflation. That rate far exceeds the pace average family incomes have increased, Simon said, and it is important universities, as well as state and federal governments, examine what is driving up prices.
"We've set a goal to have 60 percent of working-age adults to hold college credentials by 2025," Simon said.
Simon said she is backing legislation that would standardize college cost reporting procedures, helping students see more clearly what it will cost them to attend each institution.

Hello All,
New to the forum. New to rifles (a handgun guy). New to AR's Need some advice. Always wanted an AR. Didnt realize I can have one being in the Republic of NJ.
Not a hunter, just for target & eventually competition.
Visited a local gun store. He just got in a Colt Competion Target HBAR with a 16'' barrel & a detachable handle with adjustable sights, no flash & no telescopic stock. NJ Legal. Said he thinks its about 5-6 years old. The rifle looked very well maintained & clean all around. He said he would take $850 for it.
Now mind you I am totally new to AR's.
Is this a reasonable price for it?
Should I just get a new Busmaster, Stag or RRA?
Is a 16'' legal in any competition? It must be if its in a Competition Rifle..no?
Am I limited to COLT only accesories. Heard a lot of Colt rifles are very particular about mating to other parts.
Thanks for any input you can give to this newbie

Boy - That is a can of worms you just opened. Get ready for information overload... LOL
The Colt stuff does have mating problems. They have different specs than a lot of the manufacturers, so if you don't like what's on the weapon, you are going to pay for the right aftermarket pieces to make them fit.
That said, a lot of the Colt stuff I have seen is good quality gear that seems to run just fine. I have never owned one, but I have seen a few come through the shop and no one that ever handed me one said it was a POS.
I did some checking and I can't find exactly what you are describing, but I did find a similar model that might be what you are talking about:MODELMT6731NAMEMatch Target Competition HBAR IIFINISHMatte blackACTION- Semi Auto - Gas operated - Multi-lug rotary locking boltCALIBER.223 RemCAPACITY9 RoundsBARREL LENGTH16"RIFLING TWISTRH. 1 Turn in 9"RIFLING GROOVES6TRIGGERSmoothFRONT SIGHTAdjustable post for elevationREAR SIGHTAdjustable for windage and elevationSIGHT RADIUS14¾"WEIGHT7.1 lbsOVERALL LENGTH34½"SPECIAL FEATURES- Flat top receiver allows for scope mounting
This is a spec off the Colt home page for a model that has the 16" barrel and the fixed stock, with the flat top you are describing.
The chamber is cut for .223 only - which means you can't really shoot the 5.56 NATO stuff without doing some damage. The 1 in 9 twist barrel is for a bit heavier rounds. A lot of stock ammo for the AR category is .55gr but this is more along the lines of, I think, a .62 grain type of bullet.
There are some master reloaders here that can verify that for you, reloading is not my specialty by any means.
They seem to be retailing for around $1100 around the 'net with a casual glance. I would be a little leary at shelling out $850 for a rifle that is 5 to 6 years old without doing a bore scope and a close inspection. I mean, you are only $200 to $250 off of a brand new model if you REALLY want the Colt.
That said, there are much better deals out there on AR's that will perform as well, if not better, that won't have the aftermarket concerns of the Colt. They are a fine weapon, don't get me wrong, but you are paying for a name - and as long as you are okay with that, then more power to you.
There is a thread in the Knowledge Base that will show you how to build your own AR lower receiver with parts that you can purchase piece meal from places like Midwayusa and Brownell's, along with a bevy of specialized dealers, if you are interested. It is for registered members, so you would have to sign up to help support the site, but the option is there if you wish.
Best of luck -
WELCOME ah141nj to the forum.
Sorry I'm no help with the evil black rifles, I'm partial to the eastern urope-a-pee-n brown ones. There are plenty of guys here to help you.
I can tell you that I'm a big Colt handgun fan/owner and have found them to be true to the Master's 1911 design. You won't go wrong going

Does anyone have an idea of a paint color that would work with this brick fireplace? Thanks!
Here is a link that might be useful:
I disagree with red. Too often the brick, which usually has a lot of brown, can clash if directly next to the brick. Since colors can vary on monitors, I would look at a color wheel, find the color that most goes with your brick color and start looking color schemes. If it's a red brick with heavy browns, try looking at greens with brown tones. If it's an orangy brick, look more toward blues.
It also depends on what your final goal is. Do you want the brick to "pop" or do you want it to "disappear".
What about your furniture? Are you going to keep the cream colored drapes or replace them? If I were you, I would hammer out the fabric and furniture first and pick your paint color last. I have done it backwards before, painted the color and then tried to get things to "go" with it, but I could never get it all just right.

Fake lemongrass?
Hi everyone,
I bought this "lemongrass" thinking it would repel pests, but all it has done is attract little beetles called Two-Lined Spittlebugs. There are three or four of them on it every day (two small for my cellphone camera, sorry).
I broke off a piece and it was aromatic, but I couldn't say for sure whether it's citronella or not. Since it's not repelling bugs, I'm thinking it might be a cheaper aromatic grass.
What do you think? Have I been had?
I doubt lemongrass would do much to repel pests...I do grow it for cooking purposes however. My lemongrass has much wider leaf blades than yours, and the leaves smell heavily of lemon when rubbed. Next time you want to grow lemongrass, go buy some from the grocery store. Put it in a bit of water and it will root in no time.
I agree; it should smell like lemon when you rub it in your hands. It does look like lemon grass to me; albeit a small one and I don't believe it repels anything. Is it possible to move it to another sunny location away from the bugs? Keep in mind, it is a tender perennial.
Lemongrass is what citronella is derived from.......and citronella has a very good reputation for a natural insect repellant. At least for mosquitos :-)).
All species of Cymbopogon are considered "lemon grass" and used by various cuisines depending on the species native to that locale. It should have a distinct citrusy scent, ribbed blades and a fattish swelling at the root end, often tinted pink. Very easy to grow indoors over winter.
AFAIK, all the 'pest repelling' aromatic plants must be crushed to release their essential oils to be effective - they do nothing just left alone & growing...

Need names of sofa & loveseat mfrs , not expnsv but not junk
There are a few companies that I am considering for a sofa and loveseat for my den but when I google the reviews, they are so terrible for every co. I check out. Also some of the info on this forum is dated 2007 and 2008 and the companies have changed how they make their sofas since then.
Can anyone recomend a midpriced company for a couch and loveseat. I would appreciate a list of the current companies that would make furniture that would not give me aggravation. I am not looking for a forever couch but I would like the couch and sofa to look and feel good for about 7-8 years.
My suggestion would be to look at the following brands for what you need:
Best quality is Berkline and Palliser.....Ashley and Lane are not bad they are just so big that their complaints get visibility online because they have such a large portion of the market.
Go with a Berkline sofa that starts with '1' in the model name for the best deal. They are their import models and actually are decent quality. It is one of the import seats that I have had good experiences with.

Wednesday night featured the first full slate of NBA games this season, so why not take a look at the three Maryland basketball alumni who suited up?
Former Maryland assistant Mike Lonergan had a chance to show his mentor, Gary Williams, that he could do this on his own. Then Greivis Vasquez spoiled it.
Greivis Vasquez went directly to the fans on Reddit and hosted an "Ask Me Anything" chat. Here are some of the very Greivis highlights.
Gary Williams thanked many people during his Hall of Fame speech on Friday, but he highlighted the personal relationship he had with one in particular. Details here.
This is a series to look at how the Wizards stack up against their opponents in the East, where they finished 44-38 last season for a No.

Seating on raised hearth Napolean HD 81
radoncdocApril 19, 2013
I was hoping for some advice. On our new build we are planning on a double sided Napolean HD 81. It is a raised hearth, to keep the modern look we are not doing a mantle or a surround, but we really wanted a seating area in front of the fireplace. Any suggestions to keep the modern look and still do an attached seating area?
I was thinking of having the cotnractor build up a box with bluestone or limestone top flush with the fireplace?
I think it will look great, I love the modern look, clean lines, clutterless. Actually I was thinking a simple backless bench that matches the sofas at each end. But I don't think you want design ideas from me, just ask my wife. Heck I stuck a mounted Muskelunge on the kitchen wall as decoration.

If there's one hottie we can rely on to make our loins feel like crashing waves on any given day, it's English baberella Kelly Brook. Whether she's out for a jog, on her way to work, doing her taxes, digging a ditch… you name it, I could watch this woman doing pretty much anything, and still have big, Charlie Brown smile on my face. The occasions in which Kelly choses to avoid the cameras are very rare, probably because always appears ready to take them on. Her style is almost specific only to her, because only an insanely voluptuous body like hers can make a dress that roomy look that good. These photos were taken of Kelly right after she appeared on a talk show called "Lorraine" in London, but she dressed the same as she would on pretty much any other day. That is except for a "beach day". By the way, Kelly, the sun is out. Go get in your bikini already!

Hey folks -
I'm trying my first made up brew, based on ingredients I already have.
Any reason to think this recipe wouldn't "work"?
3.3lb Cooper's Light LME
3.3lb Cooper's Amber LME
1/2 lb crystal malt
1/4 lb chocolate malt
2 oz U.K. Kent golding Hop pellets (Alpha 5.0%)
(I've never used hop pellets...)
2 packs Muntons yeast.
Any advice besides "Run away and go find a real recipe!"?
Thanks -
Looks like it could be a decent enough British Brown Ale, a little on the hoppy side.
Draft 1: Lightly smoked Weizen
Draft 2: Belgian Wit
Draft 3: Rauchbier
Primary 1: German Scwarzbier
Primary 2:
On Deck: Belgian Brown Ale, Pale Ale, Stout
I love the once or twice a year kitchen sink recipes. I've made some wonderful spontaneous "I want to brew without shopping," batches over the years. Lots of left overs + yeast cake = fun brewing session!
That's exactly what I was hoping to hear!
Think one oz of the hops would work? I also have an oz of a lightly hoppier variety - I could go that direction...

"Dude, seriously?" "Yup," I say, while taking a sip of my beer. Jerry is very enthusiastic about my weekend transgression. I told him what happened because, I couldn't hide the stupid grin on my face. "And you spend the whole night with this chick?" "I did." "I never thought you'd have it in you, man. Congrats!" "Thank you," I say, still smiling like an idiot. "So what now?" ...Read On

I wake up in my bed with the covers off my curvy, naked body. It's so hot already and the sun is shining in through the curtains. I pull the sheet up to cover my eyes and maybe go back to my dreams but my mobile bleeps with my alarm. I shower quickly, put on my swimming costume and then head down to the community pool as it's perfect having an early morning swim and I'm nearly always alone....Read On

a gentleman helps a lady out of her dress
I stepped into the room; you stood there in a short, black silk dress that fit you like a suggestion, accentuating every captivating curve. I stood for a moment and simply watched you, admiring your stunning beauty. The thin straps of your dress had already fallen from your delicate shoulders, leaving them bare… You smiled, that perfect smile that never fails to set my heartbeat faster....Read On

A spontaneous hook up with a hot college guy in a public bathroom.
I had just returned to the Wisconsin campus from a trip to Florida. It was fucking cold again but on the plus side I couldn't stop looking at how sexy my tan was. Every time I was in front of a mirror I pulled up my shirt and tugged down on my pants to see where the smooth toned curves of my torso ended and the white Wisconsin winter of my Speedo line began. As I walked into the...Read On

Oh! alittle knowledge gallcomp. before you start jumping to conclutions that it was JUST me that made the desision in locking down your accounts maybe you shoulcd talk with Gig too. He gave me the goahead to lock them down. I don't do anything admin wise without gigs/dans approval so backoff.
I did tell gig about your 2 active accounts on the board. and he told me to lock them down So think Im power hungery still? I have done more for this site then you have. you complain about "how bad the gallery is" how much spam there is. if you don't like it then do something about it then sitting there
EDIT: also calling power hungery when you don't know me? is wrong on your part. I sent you a PM on all 3 accounts and I quote
And never got a responce back from ether account so I locked them down Gig told me to talk to you about it but I can't talk to you when you don't return my PMs. its nothing personal Gall man Just don't blow up about such a small issue as this. I mean serieusly the only reason I did the lockdown was because after sending PMs to all 3 accounts you never returned it but you continued posting on MediaLuna So it was the only way to get you to respond.Hey man
I got a report about you having another account besides that Iria account. (MediaLuna) just asking if you were using that name to get away from the mod issues or what not. I read in your journal you are thinking about leaving site staff just let us know and we will take you off if you don't want to be a modorator anymore here on AO. and no hard feelinga and hope to get a responce from you soon man
So I hope this clears up everything and if you want I will unlock the MediaLuna and Iria accounts if you would like. As for your mod status thats up to you as well. if you want one of these account to be a mod account let us know but we will have to remove the mod options from ghe gallComp username for security reasons ^_^

Concentrations of arsenic, antimony, and boron in steam and steam condensate at The Geysers, California
Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research

- C.L. Smith, W.H. Ficklin, J.M. Thompson
- The Publications Warehouse does not have links to digital versions of this publication at this time
- Download citation as: RIS
AbstractStudies at The Geysers Geothermal Field, California indicate that under some circumstances elements that are transported in the vapor phase can become enriched in the liquid phase. Waters from two condensate traps (steam traps) on steam lines at The Geysers are enriched with arsenic, antimony, and boron compared to the concentrations of these elements in coexisting steam. Concentrations of boron in condensate-trap waters were as high as 160 mg/L, arsenic as high as 35 mg/L, and antimony as high as 200 ??g/L. Enrichment of arsenic, antimony, and boron is at least partially controlled by the partitioning of these elements into the liquid phase, according to their vapor-liquid distribution coefficients, after they are transported in steam. Several of the elements that are most soluble in steam, including arsenic and antimony, are part of the trace-element suite that characterizes precious-metal epithermal ore deposits. ?? 1987.

They slice through the water's surface with explosive power, sail, spear and a half ton of muscle flashing in the sun. Their journeys through the open ocean are epic, their life cycle, bizarre. They are the billfish -- marlin, sailfish, spearfish and swordfish -- the largest and most highly prized of all gamefish. Emmy award-winning filmmaker and biologist Rick Rosenthal brings these incredible sea creatures to the screen as he observes tiny billfish nurseries in the wild, dives deep into secret undersea canyons, films incredible color-changing behavior and embarks on a quest for an elusive thousand-pound "grander."

Vatican feuds, fiefdoms, betrayals await next pope
The same could be said for any executive branch. But in the case of the Vatican, there's a difference.
"Obama can fire anybody he wants from his cabinet," Reese said. "When you make someone a bishop, you make him a bishop for life. When you make him a cardinal you make him a prince of the church. What do you do with a cardinal (who doesn't work out)? He can't go to K Street and get a job as a lobbyist."
Though increasingly international, the Curia is also a very Italian creature, which affects its priorities, weaknesses and style of governance. "Genealogy is important, who begat whom," noted one recently departed Vatican official, who spoke on condition of anonymity so as to not antagonize former colleagues.
The typical Italian way of getting things done via personal stamps of approval, or "raccomandanzione," guides introductions. The Italian way of persuasion, less overt power play than Machiavellian machinations, governs consensus-building and decision-making.
Italian commentator Massimo Franco recently concluded on the pages of Corriere della Sera that the Vatican bureaucracy today is simply "ungovernable."
Bishop Charles Scicluna, who worked with the pope when he was at the doctrine office, said the problem with the Curia is that the power is so great - and so close by.
"I think sacred power, with all its trappings, is probably one of the most seductive things in the world if you don't approach it with the right spirit," he said in an interview.
Though it's open to interpretation, Benedict's final homily as pope could be read as a clear message to the cardinals who will choose his successor.
Two days after announcing he would resign, a weary Benedict told his flock gathered in St. Peter's Basilica for Ash Wednesday Mass to live their lives as Christians in order to show the true face of the church - a church, he said, which is often "defiled."
"I think in particular about the attacks against the unity of the church, the divisions in the ecclesial body," he said. He told those gathered that "moving beyond individualisms and rivalries is a humble and precious sign for those who are far from the faith or indifferent to it."
The Vatican spokesman, the Rev. Federico Lombardi, said it was wrong to interpret the pope's words as being directed at the Vatican Curia, saying the pope's message was intended as a call for unity among all Christians, a priority of his as pontiff.
"Differences and diversity of opinion are part of the normal dynamic of any institution or community," Lombardi said. He said the way the Vatican's governance problems are often described "do not correspond to reality."

Quen's Profile
Quen Ameyaw
Senior, International Affairs
Westminster, CO
Student Outreach & Retention Center for Equity (SORCE)
Why did you decide to attend CU-Boulder?
I knew that it was a great school, was impressed that it was Colorado's flagship school, and that it had a strong International Affairs program. Plus it helped that it was just far enough away that my mom wouldn't come visit me every day but close enough that I could go see her if I really wanted.
What is your favorite thing about life as a CU-Boulder student?
My favorite thing has to be the strong communities I have found. As an underrepresented student it's comforting to know that there are people here that look like you and stand for the same causes that you do.
Favorite things to do in and around Boulder?
Eat, hike, shop!
Favorite place to eat in Boulder?
Hmmm, WAY too many yummy places to choose from!
Is there a special moment that you'll always remember?
All of my favorite memories have come from my time with SORCE (the Student Outreach & Retention Center for Equity) because through SORCE, I have made a difference in the lives of thousands of students. One of my favorites is when a student told me that SORCE is the reason they stayed on this campus.
How has your involvement in programs, clubs and organizations helped to shape your life as a CU-Boulder student?
These organizations were really my first steps into shaping who I am (and who I am still becoming) today. They helped me discover my love for culture and community, for giving back to those who helped me get to this place in my life and those who are less fortunate than I am.
Do you feel CU-Boulder gives students a good variety of opportunities to be engaged and get involved? Why do you think this is important for students?
There are so many options, the struggle is finding the ones you are most passionate about and sticking with them. I always tell students that the fastest way to get comfortable at a school and to feel like you belong is to get out of your comfort zone and get involved!
What one piece of information or advice would you give to students who are considering attending CU-Boulder?
Just to come into school with an open mind. Sometimes you won't like it right away or you won't feel comfortable right away, because it takes work, but everything in life worth doing takes work.

Cliche though it may be, I think it's worth restating every once in a while. The destination is cool, but the journey is really what it's about. Everybody wants to blow up, particularly if they're doing their thing exceptionally well. But once you're there, you're there, and there's no turning back. As far as Mike […]
