Rated 5 out of 5 by Cynthiaroselyn Lovely Hotel, great location, super convenient
We had an overnight stay last week. Booking on-line was a breeze. Hotel was withing walking distance of everywhere we wanted to be. The room was clean, comfortable and quiet, the staff efficient and friendly, and the breakfast buffet offered numerous choices. Will definitely stay here again.

Rated 5 out of 5 by deerisle Fantastic hotel and outstanding service
My family and I stayed at this property for three nights while visiting the San Diego area for a conference-- the conference was about 5+ miles away, so we had to move when the event started. We hated to move because we loved the Westin San Diego so much!
Location: the hotel is located in a great part of town. It's just a few blocks from the Gaslamp district and about 2-3 blocks from Little Italy. It's also about 3-4 blocks from the Midway and the harbor. We were able to take public transportation wherever we wanted to go that we couldn't walk. When we come back to San Diego for another vacation, this will be our home base.
Service: Simply put... Outstanding. I stay in lots of hotels, and the staff was just outstanding. I cannot count on both hands how many staff went out of their way to see if we needed help. I read with interest some of the complaints in the reviews here-- all I can say is that we did not have any problems, and in fact had some of the best service that we've ever experienced. Such service doesn't happen without instruction from the top, so I conclude that this is a well managed property.
Rooms: The beds are comfortable, and we loved our stay.
Platinum recognition. We benefited from the free breakfast. The front desk clerk allowed all of us to have the free breakfast, so that was a huge perk. We couldn't use the late checkout, but it was offered without us having to ask.
In short, couldn't be happier with our stay, and want to return!

Rated 2 out of 5 by jenna25 Worst Westin I have ever stayed at!!!!!
This hotel was a total disappointment! First of all the staff member who checked us in was very unfriendly. The rooms almost smelled like they had been smoking rooms at one point and also smelled musty. They need to be updated for sure. The only nice thing I can say about the room is the shower was pretty nice and the bed was comfortable. We found SEVERAL hairs throughout our room which was very disturbing! The fresh towels we had delivered came with a large black hair right on top of the towel. The rooms were not cleaned properly at all because we found several hairs from the moment we walked into the room! Never will I stay at this hotel again!

Lobby under major construction effort, jackhammers running until 8:00 PM. You can't even carry on a conversation with Front Desk staff. Notice should have been posted on web site. I should not have to visit Yelp or TripAdvisor to find out construction going on. Westin is supposed to be the Gold Standard for business traveler. Gym closed, no Starwood Lounge, valet parking $32/day. Check other properties first. Also, no upgrade when the hotel is basically empty. This one is off my list.

When my wife and I first checked into our room we were very disappointed and not at all pleased, it reeked of cigarette smoke. We called the front desk but were politely told that being a very busy Saturday in July that they were completely filled up however they were sorry. We asked to speak to a manager, he quickly and very nicely switched us to another room. He also had a staff member from housekeeping come and check to see if we were pleased, which we were.

Rated 5 out of 5 by jwall Staff Exceeded Expectations
Front desk agents Melissa and Rebecca greeted us warmly and Melissa promptly got us checked in. Once discovering that it was our wedding anniv. she told us she would be sending something special up to our room, and that we would be staying in a room with the nicest view. With only 48hrs. in San Diego, she also took the time to write down the must see,s, and must do's. On our last night, Front Desk Supervisor, Donald, made us feel equally special and looked after by sending up a final treat to our room. He also picked out some fun places whe hadn't yet gotten to.
Overall, we couldn't have been happier. The staff more that exceeded our needs and expectations!

I made my reservations as a special birthday treat for my fiance, who has not had the opportunity to stay at a Westin. I enjoy the comfort of the Westin, and he was tremendously comfortable. Since he works a high stress job, it is so nice to see him relax. I believe he decided to make this a tradition each year. He loves to visit local areas and yet know that he has a place to relax an enjoy. We highly recommend this hotel.

I am very happy with this hotel. I checked out and had to come back due to flight cancelation secondary to wheather problems and I could reutrn without problems.
I also forgot a walet in my room. I called the hotel,. It was found and let available for me at the front desk as I requested.
My only suggestion would be a long mirror in the room, that allows us to see our entire body.

Stayed for 3 days post cruise and was not disappointed.
Great location for GasLamp area and cruise port.
Good size corner room, well appointed although a little noisy on the 7th floor from traffic-maybe higher floor would be better.
Very helpful staff. Good restaurant, excellent buffet breakfast.
Very good transfer service to the airport.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Mimm Overpriced and Unconcerned
I stayed at this hotel last weekend. I made the reservation the same day as our arrival so I paid a huge amount. I was NOT told the swimming pool was closed, had I been advised of that, I would have definitely have chosen another hotel. This was a last minute trip to meet friends and having a pool for the kids was a priority. It never occurred to me that a Westin this pricey would not have an operational pool. In addition, the beds were unbelievably bad, completely caved in at the center. One was worse than the other, but with three in our party, we needed them both. I spoke to the front dest about these problems upon check out and was offered free parking for my troubles. I feel that was completely inadequate. I paid over three hundred dollars for a completely disappointing stay and was merely given parking. I will never stay at this hotel again, with all the fine hotels in San Diego, I will have many other options. Short-sighted management decision, I travel often, but never back here.

Rated 1 out of 5 by hhhhh Doesn't deserve the Westin brand
Old hotel. Recently remodeled superficially. Bathrooms remain 1970s-style (with a few new fixtures). Workspace reminds very 1980s - no/few power outlets reachable from desk.
Summary: I cannot understand how this hotel met the criteria for the Westin brand. It feels like a Sheraton.
I hadn't been to San Diego in years. Consequently, I don't know the local hotels. I asked my assistant to book me at the Westin to save time on researching hotel. Unfortunately, my belief that Westin was a safe choice was absolutely wrong.
What a regret!
Service and staff and food were all completely acceptable.

My husband and I had such a great experience staying at the Westin with our 2 year old little boy. Molly from the concierge desk helped us plan a perfect evening out, and we really loved all of her recommendations. She was extremely helpful and so friendly. Molly really made us feel like VIP guests, and she even helped make our son's stay more fun with a cute little ducky for him to enjoy in the bath. Marina from room service was fantastic, and we really enjoyed our in-room dining meals. Overall, the people at the Westin made our stay so special, and they far surpassed our expectations.

Rated 5 out of 5 by GimT Presidential suite getaway stay
I have stayed at this Westin several times over past years. This is the first time I booked the Suite for the family. The experience has been amazing. A great moment to spend with family, especially you have teenage kids.
You have great shopping places within walking distances. But at night, it can be of concerns around that area, security wise.
The SPG social hour is less than what I expect to be, after I have done the same in other Westin hotels. Food and alcoholic beverages were less than what I would expect from Westin - Too little varieties but it was different, I guess.

Rated 5 out of 5 by ShyGuy00 This hotel just blew me away!
I stayed here during my first trip to San Diego's much talked about and hugely popular Comic-con. I came for a week since the event transforms San Diego for 4 days into a mob of pop comics and culture and I wanted 3 days prior to be able to calmly explore San Diego, the Gaslamp, and Zoo with friends. The hotel was very nice and extremely accommodating in meeting my needs. The staff from the drivers, to the waiters, to room service to even my room attendants made sure to suite all my needs from offering free shuttle pick up service for my party to even being able to sell zoo pass tickets right there at the hotel at a discount to help avoid the lines. The person who stuck with me the most and was amazingly helpful was a very pleasant man named Andrew. He gave us inside knowledge on what must-see sites and places as newcomers to San Diego at the zoo, the museum by the harbor, or even free and otherwise overlooked gems around the Gaslamp. His assistance was immeasurable. I could also tell he was genuine in his interest in helping and checking on us. I must admit from day one Andrew greeted us and welcomed us to the hotel, which I thought nothing of, but I stayed there a total of 7 days and by the fourth day I was greeting Andrew daily and catching him up on funny moments throughout our exploits and coming to him with whatever I needed assistant with. Come to find out before I left I personally wanted to thank and tip him and learned he was the chief concierge for the hotel – a role he well mastered. Overall the staff above all else is what absolutely made this trip amazing. I certainly love the room, the décor, the cleanliness but good service is my trump card and they had it in spades. Five stars across the board is certainly a high praise and I know hard to reach but trust me for me they earned it.

Rated 1 out of 5 by MattB84 This hotel fell far short
I was very unsatisfied with my recent stay at the Westin San Diego. Upon arriving to the hotel in a cab, my wife and I were juggling several suitcases and a large box of food items. There were two hotel staff members that were watching us the entire time, and never offered assistance. They did however take the time to open the door. There was a short wait to check in, but the person who checked me in did take care of my needs and was friendly. We found the hotel to generally be out dated and falling short of a typical Westin. Inside of our room I found several things to be in a state of disrepair. My wife went to close the curtain, and the rod fell off. The laminate on the window seat was peeling up. There were black stains on a towel in the bathroom. In addition, there were ripps in the sheets on the bed. We decided to head to the pool to relax. The hotel staff that was met in the hallways did not even make eye contact, and never said hello. Wen we got to the pool the windows on the exterior of the building were very very dirty, and did not appear to have been washed in months/years. We then went to the hot tub. Our stay in the hot tub was very short due to a layer of green scum on the edge of the tub. This was very disgusting, and caused us to both return to the room to immediately shower. We had planned on getting a couple massage in the spa, but following the previous experiences that I have outlined, we didn't even solicit the hotel food services. Overall, I was not happy with the stay, and feel as though the hotel made a terrible name for Westin /SPG. I have been a member for years, stayed with SPG many many times and have spent thousands of dollars at your hotels. This is one that I will never be returning to. I hope that this feedback prompts some action to be taken to ensure that another paying couple on their vacation does not share our experience.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Mokb75 Room by the Bay
For my husband's day of birth, I took him to San Diego and we stayed at the Westin for part of the trip. Let me tell you, it was the icing on the cake. We loved our room and the great view of the Bay. The hotel staff was extremely helpful and friendly. We are not hotel snobs but after this five-star like treatment, we can't help but to become snobbish about where we stay from now on. So BIG SHOUT OUTS to Molly, Kevin, Donald, Sean "the bartender", and Rebecca.
So, here are some tips:
1. The hotel is located on Columbia Street which is a one way. As you approach the hotel go up State Street, take the first left and then make another left to Columbia. It will take you to the entrance of the building where valet will take care of you.
2. Parking is $40 a day and it's in and out. Call valet before you head down when you want to leave. It's just faster. Parking charges begin at 2 PM each day so move your car before the clock strikes two if you don't wish to park there. We valet parked the first day while we get our bearings of the place and then parked at the Public Parking lot across the street for $20. It's not in and out but it's overnight.
3. The Westin is a Starwood affiliated hotel. It makes some difference if you are an SPG member. We stayed on the 19th floor which is also the SPG members floor. There's a reception for members in the hotel lobby everyday from 4:45-6:00 PM bring your hotel packet with you to check in. The serving is not spectacular but you just feel "oh, so special." And if you skip maid service which is called "the green choice" you get 1000 membership points. Checkout the SPG channel #2 for more info on membership.
4. DO NOT ORDER ROOM SERVICE unless you are desperate. It's expensive as heck. We paid $79 for two dinner plates that came to $48 due to a bunch of fees. We were starving and too lazy to leave the room. But the food was good!
5. PET PARENTS-this is a great place to bring your four-legged babies and they don't charge you for them to stay. They even give you bowls for them during your stay. There's a fantastic dog park right across the street. When you exit the hotel on Bdwy, take a right on State Street and cut through the condos. It was the nicest dog-friendly park we've ever been to. Our babies enjoyed making new friends there.
6. The following places are within 10-15 minute drive if not less: Coronado Beach (go for the golden sand), La Jolla, and San Diego Zoo. Within walking distance are Little Italy and Gaslamp Quarter.
7. Because it's Downtown, you get some real interesting characters but they are by no means invasive. They just do their own thing.

Rated 4 out of 5 Concern and Dissapointment
On the first morning of my stay, "security" entered the room with a pass key without any announcment nor knock.
The follow up to this incident was less than appropriate.. It was both disconcerting and absolutely unnacceptable. The story i was given is that they did not know that I was in the room. Clearly there were a number of failures here, much too many to get into details here. Suffice to say, this experiance was both unnaceptable and certainly not reflective of the quality and the brand of this facility.
I am extremely unhappy as to how this situation was handled.

Rated 1 out of 5 by VikCeo Ugly room
As soon as I entered into our room and opened the fridge to check the stuff I was highly annoyed to see that fridge has someone's leftover bottles.
What a bad management of the rooms where the room is not properly inspected for leftover stuff by previous guests.
This puts a lot of questions on how well the room has been cleaned or if really cleaned well or not. I was quite suspicious for my rest of the stay if the room is cleaned just superficially
When i called the front desk personally before leaving the hotel for a tour they said they will take care of the room well and clean it properly. On return the only thing cleaned was just the fridge. They did not even bother to clean the trash.
It was big disappointment for me.

My husband, baby and I recently stayed at the San Diego Westin on Broadway for a family wedding. From the moment we stepped into the hotel lobby, we received excellent service. Traveling with a baby can be stressful, but the staff at the Westin went above and beyond to make our stay go as smoothly as possible. They immediately had a crib set up in our room and then called to make sure that everything in our room was up to par. On my way to dinner I accidentally dropped my wallet and the valet took time to alert the front desk who made sure the wallet was waiting for me upon my return. The waitress who served us breakfast in the hotel restaurant was friendly and very accommodating. We would return to this hotel in a heartbeat for the service alone!

When we arrived to our room the key cards would not work. So we went back to the desk dragging our luggage and received another key cards. Again the key cards would not work. Back to the desk again! When we finally got into our room we noticed the safe was locked we had to call maintenance. Then in the bathroom one of the lights over the mirror was burnt out. Called maintenance again.
The front desk did ask what can they do to make our stay more comfortable. They said they would send champagne and treats to our room. We waited until 10pm it never arrived so we called the desk and they apologized and sent it immediately. The 2nd day after the maid cleaned our room I stepped into the shower that morning and the shampoo was not replaced so we had to use a bar soap.

I stayed recently at the Westin San Diego and loved the hotel accommodations. The employees were absolutely outstanding. Teresa at Coast Restaurant was courteous, professional, and efficient in her service. By the way, the food at Coast was delicious. One night, I got locked out of my room. The housekeeper promptly called the maintenance person, and the problem was solved immediately. Another night, the front desk employees helped me to get access to the WiFi at the lobby. I will definitely stay here again.

Prompt shuttle service, great service checking in and checking out. Melissa H. at the front desk was just wonderful! Very kind and considerate. And not just with me, I observed her interactions with others as well. Even though the hotel is undergoing renovations, my stay was still very nice and pleasant. The only thing was the hotel bar area was tiny (due to the renovations), but the staff was extremely pleasant all around. Will surely make this my San Diego SPG hotel of choice.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Eddie808 Didn't change the sheets!
I spend 100-150 nights a year in hotels, so I know the bad habits of the housekeeping staff. The first thing I do when I enter a room is check the sheets. Sure enough, the ones on my bed had not been changed. I'd upload the photo I took of the long black hair in the bed if I could. When i called the desk clerk to come see, he said he couldn't. But he wasn't too busy to go outside to smoke. Westin's never fail to disappoint me. This was the only room in town, so I was stuck.

Hi Guys, I was wondering if anyone could give me a nice light load in either Varget, or IMR 4064, with 150 Gr. FMJ Hornady bullets that will cycle the Springfield M-1A reliably without undo wear on the action. I'm not looking for a Camp Perry load, just a nice light load for the gun for ringing steel gongs at 100 yards. I'm mainly looking for reliability without beating up the action. Thanks in advance, Bill T.

Might want to take this and put it in the reloading section and you might get a few more bites on it. Sierra and Hornady both list 308 loads for semiauto rifles and I think Sierra lists some specifically for the M-1a.
Check your Hornady manual for specific loads for the M1A. My M1As love IMR4895 and 168 grain bullets (Sierra MK, Hornady Amax, and Nosler BT).
In my Springfield m1a for plinking i use IMR 3031 powder. I use this powder in my AR15, the m1a, and my 30-06. For plinking without a lot of jolt with the m1a i find that 40 to 42 works out quite nicely using a 150gr fmj. I normally use 147 to 168gr for general shooting. Works good for me in all guns.
I usually shoot 155 and 168 Match bullets in the M1A and mine really likes 41.5 grains of 4064 with either bullet. Generally around 2600fps or slightly less.

This move is quickly pushing ETE within range of triggering a near-term breakout trade. That trade will hit once ETE manages to take out some near-term overhead resistance at $46.07 with high volume. Traders should now look for long-biased trades in ETE as long as its trending above its 50-day, and then once it sustains a move or close above $46.07 with volume that hits near or above 569,337 shares. If that breakout triggers soon, then look for ETE to tag $50 to $55 in the near future.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

The Justice Department division that decides immigration cases has been left without access to some of its databases, temporarily hobbling its ability to handle cases electronically.
The Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) has suffered a hardware failure that is blocking the agency from performing some functions related to its computer systems, according to a notice on the office's website.
EOIR spokeswoman Lauren Alder Reid told FCW that the office "has suffered some system issues that affect databases," but that removal hearings are continuing backed by paper files.
"The Board of Immigration Appeals is continuing to process cases each day, but is prioritizing its caseload to compensate for reliance on manual processes," the notice states, adding that some cases could be postponed while officials resolve the issue.
The glitches affect a number of applications that require access to case databases, including EOIR's case information hotline and its e-registration functions.
Reports in New York City newspapers characterized the situation as a "meltdown" involving five servers in Falls Church, Va., that are part of the network that supports 52 immigration courts nationwide. The articles say the situation has caused significant delays or postponements of hearings in New York's immigration court and added that the system might not be repaired for some time.
Sources familiar with the situation discounted the reports' technical characterization, saying the issue was more of an access problem than a server problem.
Reid and the EOIR notice said IT managers are working on repairs to the system, but neither provided a specific date on when that work might be completed.
"This isn't a long-term problem," said Reid, adding that the solution won't require an extensive overhaul. She declined to provide further details, citing security concerns.

Look, this is an example of government at it's worst. Someone, preferrably Congress, needs to ask the right questions...like how many tax dollars have been spent on IT within this agency over the last 10 years to create a system this agency knows spews bad data?? Then, how much to keep it propped up until now--with no replication process in place, should something like what has happened occur. The system, which when "working" isn't really working, was built in house by people who have no clue what the courts actually do or need from an electronic filing system--and they don't care. They are truly the tail wagging the dog. The U.S. Courts have had electronic filing in place for close to 20 years--but these folks didn't want to do what was already done across town and working. No, they needed to build their own and make it much more complicated for users--court staff and external attorney filers--than was EVER necessary. I'm not sure what system the EOIR system was modeled after--if any--but do not believe it was modeled after any reliable, currently working electronic filing system used in the Federal Judiciary (which might have been a smart place to start). Smoke and mirrors and a LOT of money wasted and, unfortunately, that will most likely continue. Once it's fixed...and it will ultimately be fixed...these people will find a way to promote those responsible and/or justify new positions for people who will remain clueless about the actual administration of immigration cases or the needs of the people the system is supposed to serve.

Computational analysis of thin film InGaAs/GaAs quantum well solar cells with back side light trapping structures |
Optics Express, Vol. 20, Issue S6, pp. A864-A878 (2012)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (1776 KB)
Simulations of thin film (~2.5 µm thick) InGaAs/GaAs quantum well solar cells with various back side reflective and planar, symmetric scattering structures used for light trapping have been performed using rigorous coupled-wave analysis. Two-dimensional periodic metal/dielectric scattering structures were numerically optimized for Airmass 0 photocurrent generation for each device structure. The simulation results indicate that the absorption spectra of devices with both reflective and scattering structures are largely determined by the Fabry-Perot resonance characteristics of the thin film device structure. The scattering structures substantially increase absorption in the quantum wells at wavelengths longer than the GaAs absorption edge through a combination of coupling to modes of the thin film device structures and by reducing parasitic metal absorption compared to planar metal reflectors. For Airmass 0 illumination and 100% carrier collection, the estimated short-circuit current density of devices with In0.3Ga0.7As/GaAs quantum wells improves by up to 4.6 mA/cm2 (15%) relative to a GaAs homojunction device, with the improvement resulting approximately equally from scattering of light into thin film modes and reduction of metal absorption compared to a planar reflective layer.

We present a new polynomial-time algorithm for linear programming. In the worst case, the algorithm requiresO(n 3.5 L) arithmetic operations onO(L) bit numbers, wheren is the number of variables andL is the number of bits in the input. The running-time of this algorithm is better than the ellipsoid algorithm by a factor ofO(n 2.5). We prove that given a polytopeP and a strictly interior point a εP, there is a projective transformation of the space that mapsP, a toP′, a′ having the following property. The ratio of the radius of the smallest sphere with center a′, containingP′ to the radius of the largest sphere with center a′ contained inP′ isO(n). The algorithm consists of repeated application of such projective transformations each followed by optimization over an inscribed sphere to create a sequence of points which converges to the optimal solution in polynomial time.

Did You Know?
Magellanic penguins are named after Ferdinand Magellan who first discovered them in 1519.
The largest of forest antelopes, bongos have a stunning chestnut-color coat with an average of 12-14 narrow white stripes. The animal has two heavy, slightly-spiraled horns that are hollow and made of keratin. Bongos can run quickly and gracefully through thick forest cover. They tilt their head up, which causes their horns to lie flat along their back so that brush doesn't impede their flight. While western bongos are more common, eastern (or mountain) bongos are critically endangered and only found in one remote region of central Kenya. Bongos require a large amount of fresh food year-round, so they are usually found in forests that provide low-level green vegetation.
Bongos are shy animals and are easily frightened. Adult males usually live alone, while mothers and their young may form small groups. Bongos are mostly nocturnal, but are sometimes active during the day, too.
We have 4 bongos at PPZ; Bella, a female who was born 5 years ago at Virginia Zoological Park, Phoebe, a 4-year-old female on loan from Cincinnati Zoo, a male named Bock who is 10, and our newest bundle of joy, Binti, who was born on July 25, 2013!
There are no photos available for this animal.

Ribbon Hat (# THW7011)
This casual sun hat charms with uncomplicated, summery style. Crafted from polyester ribbon, it's an easy way to top off almost any outfit plus its generous, 5-inch brim supplies plenty of shade on sunny days on and off the islands. An internal drawstring ensures one size fits most; trimmed with a belt-style outer band and buckle.
- 100% polyester
- Brim: 5"
- Packable, crushable, shapeable
- Inner drawstring
- One size fits most
- Offers UPF 50+ sun protection
- Imported
Ribbon Hat
Perfect for Sun Coverage
This is a great hat for sun coverage on the beach, but it's also very classy and elegant and in white, works with a variety of summer outfits. The brim is very wide and provides great shade to your whole face and shoulders while in the sun. The hat has a great drawstring feature on the inside so it adjusts to fit your head size. The brim isn't floppy; it has wiring or something in it so it says in the shape that you adjust it to. This is a great feature because you can tilt/move the brim any which way to achieve whatever look or level of sun coverage you want. For example, I like wearing it at an angle for a saucy flirty look while I'm not on the beach. The only downside of this hat is that the tortoiseshell ring along the band is made of cheap, lightweight plastic, and therefore makes the whole hat look cheaper than it is. I would much prefer a sturdier piece of flair, and preferably metallic. I might actually buy a pin or something and replace it myself.

Not mine & I would assume it is out of my price range but I found this on Craigslist and thought someone here might be interested.http://kansascity.craigslist.org/for/1460591089.html I emailed for more details and this is the info that I received:"The system is 2 tier with 3 SS pots. 2 are from beer kegs and the boil pot is from a medical oxygen tank. The boil pot holds 15.5-16 gallons to boil down to 12. The Hot Liquor Tank(HLT) and the mashtun are both controlled by PID digital controllers. HLT has 2 - 4500w elements in it. The system runs off of 2 30A 220V circuits. There is a high temp pump for circulating the mash liquid. The mash PID controls a 3 way valve that either bypasses the coil inside the HLT or circulates through the coil depending on whether or not the mash needs to be heated. The HLT also has a level gauge mounted to the outside. It runs great. Once you set the mash and have it insulated there is basically no maintenance for an hour till you start to rinse the grains. Water is plumbed onto the cart to run through a filter(not included) up to the HLT for easy filling. This system will produce 12 gallons of beer as is, but I would sometimes set another mash in a converted cooler to do a double batch in about the same amount of time. Price is negotiable. I am looking for a fair price. If youre interested, give me a call at the number below to set a time to come and see it."
Very cool.

Curling in on himself and sniffling wetly, Dib let out a small whimper in his sleep.
Zim felt a sharp stab through his chest like before. "I'm sorry, Dib...I did it all..."he said before curling up even more around Dib.
Continuing to sleep on for several more hours, it wasn't until some time later that Dib finally began to come around again, blinking his eyes open and feeling a bit disoriented at first about where he was . "Hmmm?" he sounded out, looking about the room.
Having migrated to one of the corners of the room, Zim laid curled up on the floor across from him.
Blinking his eyes a few more times, Dib looked about the room some more before remembering where he was and sitting up quickly in the bed. "Z-Zim?" he looked over and noticed the Irken curled up in one corner of the room before throwing the covers off of himself and stumbling his way over to the Irken, falling flat on his face from not being used to walking on a ship in space yet. Sitting up slowly, he then held his head and let out a pained noise. "Ow..." he groaned before crawling the rest of the way over to Zim, the motion of the ship making him feel slightly sick to his stomach. "Z-Zim..."he said one last time, trying to get the Irken's attention.
"...Yes?" Zim finally responded, remaining facing away from Dib, his sad stare fixed on the wall.
Reaching out a hand to touch the others cheek, Dib stopped himself, pulling back his hand to his chest and looking away to the side. "Wh-What's going to happen to us now?" he asked, truly not wanting to think about it.
"We will be given a ship and sent to a dwelling planet somewhere in the Irken Empire...We gave the Earth its new purpose too..."
"A-And that was?" Dib asked, really not wanting to know but still needing to know what he had doomed his own home planet to.
"Earth will be a zoo..."
"Wh-What?! A zoo?!" Dib looked at Zim in disbelief. "A-And are humans the only species that are going to be treated like animals?" his voice then grew shaky.
Zim waved a hand. "Relax, Dib...It's more like a reserve...I made sure they wouldn't let the humans know anything was going on. As long as they don't try to leave the planet's surface, they will be fine...But that was the best I could do...I know it's not good enough for YOU, but I tried." he sighed heavily, curling up more. "The Tallest was angry with me...I was demoted for this..." he said, the memory of how the meeting had gone over all too fresh in his mind still.
"D-Demoted? Wh-What do you mean by d-demoted? Demoted to what?"
"Service drone...This means I have to work in retirement...So are you happy yet?! I saved your stupid planet! I got demoted! My life is screwed now!" Zim sighed heavily and curled up again.
Eyes wide with fear at the sudden outburst, Dib pulled away from the Irken. "I...I...I want to go home..." he sobbed, shrinking back away from the other.
Gasping in surprise, Zim stared at Dib sadly before sniffling a bit. He knew Dib really wanted to leave.
Clapping his hands from the doorway, Red slowly walked into the room they were in with the drone from before. "Good! Because seeing as how Zim's been demoted, even YOU outrank him now! You're going to have your memory wiped and be sent back to live the rest of your life on your own planet! Isn't that great?" he addressed Dib, an evil smirk on his face.
Walking up to Zim, the drone from before kicked Zim hard in the side. "Move it, you!" he demanded, having been ordered to take Zim to a new holding cell.
Flinching at the rough kick, Zim merely did as he was told, getting up and following the drone out of the room.
Red sighed. "I should really thank you, human. Your lie finally gave me the chance to get rid of him. But...He seemed a bit off at the meeting. He must have hit his head sometime recently..."he snickered. "Let's hope so. Then maybe he'll finally die already." he said before grabbing Dib's arm to take him away.
Dib instantly tried to pull away from Red. "No! Don't touch me!" he screamed, struggling against the taller Irken.
Red slapped him across the face. "What are you struggling so much for? This is what you just said you wanted, isn't it? Or would you rather stay here and suffer the same fate as Zim?" he said, yanking Dib out of the room, wrenching his arm behind his back and walking him in the opposite direction from Zim, towards the teleporter.
Letting out a sharp cry at having his arm wrenched behind his back, Dib continued to struggle nonetheless. "No! Let me go! Zim! ZIM!" he called out, looking back behind himself at the Irken, who was getting farther and farther away from him. "No! Zim!" he screamed out desperately one last time before suddenly feeling a hard blow to the back of the head, delivered by another one of the drones on board the Massive, causing everything around him to go dark.
Holding him up by his arms, the drone that had knocked him out and another drone that had come to offer his assistance began dragging him in the direction of the teleporter.
"Jeez, he's annoying. No wonder Zim took a liking to him. They're too much alike!"
"Shouldn't we wipe his memory first?"
"Nah...Why bother? What could he ever do to us?"
"Of course, my Tallest. How foolish of me."
"Well, we can just hope that Zim will die now, but you know, the planet will make a great attraction."
"As a zoo?"
"No. As an asteroid field." Red laughed evilly.
Shoving Dib into the teleporter, one of the drones typed in some coordinates before returning Dib back to Earth.
It wouldn't be until several hours later that Dib awoke to find himself in Zim's lab, his head throbbing. "Wh-What happened?" he tried to move from his spot but just ended up wincing and curling in on himself, clutching at his head. "Ah! Wh-Why does my head hurt so much?!" he tried to force his eyes open to look around. "Z-Zim's lab? B-But what am I doing here?" he asked, sitting up slowly.
That's when Gir came bursting into the lab in hysterics. "MARY!!!!" he tackled Dib. "MARY! MARY! WHERE'S MASTER?! YOU AND MASTER WENT FLASHY FLASHY! NOW MASTER GOOONE!" he screamed, pointing at the teleporter all the while.
A blank expression on his face, Dib looked down at Gir once he had sat up again then looked up at the teleporter Gir was pointing to. "I-I don't know. I-" he grabbed at his head again. "Ouch! I don't remember anything!" he said, pulling one of his hands away just to find blood on it. His eyes grew wide in fear. "S-Something bad happened...B-But...I can't remember what!" he said, pushing himself up onto his feet to search the room for anything that might jog his memory.
"There's a big mountain next to the couch!" Gir grinned, all problems suddenly forgotten. "Can you climb it with meee?" he asked excitedly.
Dib sent Gir a confused look. "Umm...Maybe later, Gir. In the meantime, I have to figure out what happened to your master." he said, returning to his search for anything that might help him remember.
"But the mountain!" Gir exclaimed, trying to tug Dib back upstairs. "It's gots squishy squishy powers on master!" he said, trying to make Dib follow him.
Sending Gir another confused look, Dib finally gave in and let the insane robot drag him back upstairs to the living room where the pile of debris and wires still was. His eyes grew wide at seeing it. "Wh-What happened?!" he looked at it a few seconds longer before the memory of what had happened earlier hit him, causing his eyes to grow even wider."H-He was buried under all of this...and...and I carried him down to his lab to dress his wounds..." he quickly made his way back down to the lab, looking around as the memories were all coming back to him now. "He kissed me and then...and then one of his leaders called and..." he felt his legs shaking. "Th-They took him! They took him and sent me back here!" he said, his legs finally giving in, causing him to collapse onto the floor to his knees as the memory of the last thing Red had said ran through his mind. "A-And they plan on killing him..."he felt the tears welling up in his eyes again before slipping down his cheeks.
Oblivious to Dib once again, Gir merely cheered happily. "YAY!" he exclaimed before happily running back upstairs to dive into the pile of rubble in the living room.
Meanwhile, back on the Massive, Zim sat within a locked cell with one of the drones guarding the door to prevent him from escaping. Rolling over in his cubby hole of a cell, Zim merely stared at the wall sadly. "I'll miss you, Dib..." his voice was low and strained.
The drone snickered. "Well, there won't be much to miss here soon." he said in response to Zim's sentimental words.
That had Zim's eyes growing wide. "Wh-What do you mean?" he asked, rolling over to glare at the drone.

A long day
The day started at 3am and 21 hrs later we've check into our accommodation in Bangkok. Thanks to qantas stuffing up our initial seats we ended up with the exit row seats and heaps of room which made the flight from Sydney to Bangkok all the more tolerable. Trying to decide weather something to eat or sleep is required. Sleep is gaining favour by far.
Bangkok, Thailand
... friendly woman, posing security guard and tuk tuk driver approaching you to tell you the temples closed and alternately offering to instead take you on a boat ride to the floating market or for a tour around bangkok. In short these boat rides end up costing you over $150 (compared to the public river boat which costs 15 baht or 50 cents). I thought this might happen once but we literally got approached every 5 minutes even right outside the temple gates when ...
The first day!
... twelve hour plane ride, I did a whole lot of nothing. I got to know Savannah who turned out to be my roommate! I was really excited to find out that they would be feeding us every couple of hours on the plane (I saw on our flight itinerary that we were only going to get fed once), so that was a pleasant surprise.
Upon arrival in Tokyo, we had an hour to make it to our next flight. Our group must have looked ridiculous because we were running around clueless. I have ...
Holla! City of squalor!
... longer than me so we went off for a boat ride and a wander. Christine showed me a few highlights of Bangkok as we went past, including the perfect spot for feng shui where you stand and make a wish. After our long walk, which included getting a little lost, we went back to meet our group. This time, there are 16 of us: Christine (my roommate) who educates me on politics :) John, who is a retired engineer from Coventry. We've bonded over a love of hobnobs! Tor ...
Ta-ta for now Bangkok
... The market is a series of alleyways off a main drag - although it felt like I was going round in circles as I passed the same stall about 5 times. I ended up using points of reference such as the MRT station entrance, the clock tower and street vendors to get around. If you can dream it up, Chatuchak probably has it. Clothing, accessories, ceramics, plants, pets, books, antiques, home decor and handicrafts are among some of the items you will find - it's the ...

The Olympic Village isn't the only cold place where the app Tinder has been heating up the dating scene.
A scientist working in Antarctica used the app on a whim and found a potential match at a campsite a 45-minute helicopter ride away. He swiped his phone to indicate his interest, and was notified a couple minutes later that she found him interesting as well.
"She was actually in her tent in the Dry Valleys when we matched," the scientist told New York Magazine. "She was quite literally camping in Antarctica, went on Tinder, and found me. It's mind-blowing."
The scientist, who asked to not be named, first used the app sometime in December. However, it wasn't until a few weeks later that he finally saw that the woman Tinder set him up with. The meeting was short-lived, as she was leaving Antarctica the following day. However, he remains optimistic that they'll see each other again.
"I have yet to become the first Tinder hookup in Antarctic history," he said. "But she is actually coming back, and we may overlap. There's still hope."

Match Preview
Mancini's case for the defence Roberto Mancini would be happy for his Manchester City team to bore their way back into the Barclays Premier League title race. After being right in the thick of it, the big-spending Blues now appear to be bit-part players. One point from their last two games has left City eight points adrift of leaders Manchester United, having played a game more. In addition they have required replays against lower league opposition to retain an interest in the FA Cup. The reason is obvious. After being one of the most difficult sides to score against earlier in the campaign, City's defence is now riddled with holes. Since the goalless draw at Arsenal a month ago, the Blues have conceded 11 goals in six games and kept no clean sheets. And Mancini accepts it is not a run that can continue for much longer if his side are going to challenge for honours. "I would like this," said Mancini, when asked if his team needed to become more boring. "When you don't concede a goal but you have players like Carlos (Tevez), (Edin) Dzeko, (David) Silva and Yaya Toure, you win 90% of your matches. "At this moment, I would prefer it if we win 1-0 for two or three games. "We would like to score two or three goals every game but it is not possible and in the past, all the teams that have won the title conceded very few goals." Yet City have proved they can keep bigger clubs out. Mancini's men ground out goalless draws against United and Arsenal in the last three months, just as they did at Tottenham on the season's opening day. Chelsea and Liverpool also failed to score against them at Eastlands earlier in the campaign, leading to the accusation that City lack focus against the top flight's lesser lights. "I don't think that is true," said Mancini. "Our players know the value of this league very well. They know every game is a battle. "Maybe we are having more difficulty when you meet teams that are at the bottom but this is normal. "Three weeks ago everything was good but now we are in a bad moment because we concede too many goals. "Maybe some situations have gone against us but it is important we understand it and try to have more concentration." Mancini certainly is not blaming goalkeeper Joe Hart for the problem, even though plenty of critics have pointed the finger at England's number one. "Joe is the best goalkeeper in England," said Mancini, playing down speculation that Hart might lose his place to Shay Given. "If a striker doesn't score the game can finish 0-0. If a goalkeeper makes a mistake you might lose 1-0. That is the problem." A secondary issue for City is the loss of Adam Johnson for three months with an ankle injury. Although Johnson has not been a regular starter this season, Mancini never underestimated the impact his former Middlesbrough winger could have. "Players like Adam can change a game," he said. "He is a very important player for us and we don't have another like him." As the extent of Johnson's injury was not known until the weekend, Mancini had little time to come up with an alternative. Sebastian Larsson was mentioned but City have denied an offer was made to Birmingham. Instead, they must head into the remainder of the campaign with the players they already had, with Mancini convinced United will drop enough points over the coming months to offer his side another opportunity. "We have lost five points on United the last two games but it is possible they will lose two games," said Mancini. "They have to play against Chelsea twice, against Arsenal and against us so anything can happen. "All the teams at the top are very strong - United, Arsenal and Chelsea - but we want to stay there." West Brom, meanwhile, will attempt to recreate their early season form when they take on Manchester City, according to head coach Roberto Di Matteo. The Baggies acquitted themselves well against the likes of Manchester United and Liverpool during the first three months of the season. And Di Matteo is hoping that the team can draw experience from their away win at Arsenal in September in particular. He said: "We've had some good games and good results against the big teams so we're going to be positive. "Even at home against Manchester United we matched them for long periods and we should have got something out of it." Baggies midfielder Chris Brunt believes that his team only need look at the team's previous meeting, which City won 2-0, if they need motivation. "We know we're in for a really tough game," he said. "They played very well against us at the Hawthorns and battered us from start to finish. "They've got a good record at Eastlands so it's going to be a tough game, but it's one we're all looking forward to. They've got some of the biggest names in the world. "It's a game that's going to be tough for us to get something out of, but we've proved that away from home against some of the big teams that we're capable of doing that." However, Brunt concedes the Baggies do have one eye on their next few matches, in which they take on West Ham and Wolves at home, then Stoke and Birmingham away. "There's games you're going to pinpoint more so than others," the Northern Ireland international said. "We're going to Man City looking to try and get a result, but knowing that we've got a couple of big games coming up at home against teams that are down there around us. "Those are ones we're going to have to look to take wins from, never mind draws."

Match Report
Birthday boy Tevez celebrates in style Carlos Tevez celebrated his 27th birthday by keeping Manchester City on course for a Champions League spot with a first-half hat-trick to seal a 3-0 win against West Brom. It was the Argentina striker's third treble of his City career and took his tally for the season to 20 goals. He was given a standing ovation when he came off four minutes from time. It was just the result that manager Roberto Mancini was looking for as it came on the day a minute's applause was held in memory of former City favourite Neil Young, who died recently after a long battle against cancer. City almost took the lead in the fourth minute when West Brom defender Paul Scharner failed to cut out a cross from Aleksandar Kolarov. Tevez was perfectly positioned and got in a first-time shot that beat goalkeeper Boaz Myhill but he saw it come back off the post. Albion responded in the 12th minute. Chris Brunt delivered a well-struck free-kick on the edge of the area but goalkeeper Joe Hart diverted his effort to safety. A minute later Hart was again forced into action, tipping a looping header from Jonas Olsson over the bar. City made the breakthrough in the 17th minute with Steven Reid punished for barging Kolarov. Tevez sent Myhill the wrong way from the penalty spot. Tevez extended their lead in the 22nd minute after skipping into the area following a one-two with David Silva before finding the corner with his effort. West Brom continued to be pegged back and Olsson did well to block Silva's path to goal in the 31st minute after he had linked up with Yaya Toure. A minute later Myhill reacted superbly to get the slightest touch to a Kolarov thunderbolt and touch it onto the bar. City continued to turn the screw and Silva made space for himself in the area only to see his shot beaten away by the goalkeeper. Tevez completed his hat-trick in the 36th minute with his second penalty of the game. Jerome Thomas, for reasons only known to himself, handled in the area and referee Martin Atkinson had no hesitation in pointing to the spot. Tevez stepped up and this time sent his effort high over Myhill to make it 3-0 to City. The skipper came close to adding a fourth in the 42nd minute after being set up by Silva but the ball went the wrong side of the post. However, West Brom almost pulled a goal back two minutes into the second half when Peter Odemwingie scampered forward only to see his effort turned away at the post by Hart. Then Marc-Antoine Fortune squandered a good opportunity for the visitors, finding the side-netting from a good position. West Brom again pushed forward and Hart had to be alert in the 71st minute to turn away a free-kick from Nicky Shorey 20 yards out. Tevez should have scored his fourth of the game eight minutes later when he was set up by Gareth Barry. Given how prolific he had been in the match there were gasps of astonishment around the ground when he spooned the ball over the bar from six yards. Substitute Shaun Wright-Phillips was then denied by Myhill on the stroke of full-time as City secured their first win in four games. West Brom, however, remained in deep trouble and locked in a relegation battle after further defensive slip-ups.

Looking for some 285/70/17 BFG A/T's in the San Diego area.
Last time I bought some 265/70/17 at Discount Tire and of course, right after I bought them I get everyone and their brother telling me how I could have gotten them for hundreds less at such and such place. I think I paid around $1,100 OTD with road hazard.
So, hoping someone can chime in here before I pay!
