This application is a continuation of application Ser. No. 10/215,956 filed 9 Aug. 2002now U.S. Pat. No. 6,864,503. This application is related to application Ser. No. 10/654,684 filed 4 Sep. 2003, which is a division of application Ser. No. 10/215,956 filed 9 Aug. 2002.
Chalcogenide materials are widely used in read-write optical disks. These materials have at least two solid phases, generally amorphous and generally crystalline. Laser pulses are used in read-write optical disks to switch between phases and to read the optical properties of the material after the phase change.
Chalcogenide materials also can be caused to change phase by application of electrical current. This property has generated interest in using programmable resistive material to form nonvolatile memory circuits.
One direction of development has been toward using small quantities of programmable resistive material, particularly in small pores. Patents illustrating development toward small pores include: Ovshinsky, "Multibit Single Cell Memory Element Having Tapered Contact," U.S. Pat. No. 5,687,112, issued Nov. 11, 1997; Zahorik et al., "Method of Making Chalogenide [sic] Memory Device," U.S. Pat. No. 5,789,277, issued Aug. 4, 1998; Doan et al., "Controllable Ovonic Phase-Change Semiconductor Memory Device and Methods of Fabricating the Same," U.S. Pat. No. 6,150,253, issued Nov. 21, 2000.
Accordingly, an opportunity arises to devise methods and structures that form memory cells with structures that use small quantities of programmable resistive material.
The present invention includes devices and methods to form memory cell devices including a spacer comprising a programmable resistive material alloy. Particular aspects of the present invention are described in the claims, specification and drawings.
The following detailed description is made with reference to the figures. Preferred embodiments are described to illustrate the present invention, not to limit its scope, which is defined by the claims. Those of ordinary skill in the art will recognize a variety of equivalent variations on the description that follows.
A chalcogenide alloy contains one or more elements from column six of the periodic table of elements. Many chalcogenide phase-change alloys have been described in technical literature, including alloys of: Ga/Sb, In/Sb, In/Se, Sb/Te, Ge/Te, Ge/Sb/Te, In/Sb/Te, Ga/Se/Te, Sn/Sb/Te, In/Sb/Ge, Ag/In/Sb/Te, Ge/Sn/Sb/Te, Ge/Sb/Se/Te and Te/Ge/Sb/S. In the family of Ge/Sb/Te alloys, a wide range of alloy compositions may be workable. The compositions can be characterized as TeaGebSb100−(a+b). One researcher has described the most useful alloys as having an average concentration of Te in the deposited materials well below 70%, typically below about 60% and ranged in general from as low as about 23% up to about 58% Te and most preferably about 48% to 58% Te. Concentrations of Ge were above about 5% and ranged from a low of about 8% to about 30% average in the material, remaining generally below 50%. Most preferably, concentrations of Ge ranged from about 8% to about 40%. The remainder of the principal constituent elements in this composition was Sb. These percentages are atomic percentages that total 100% of the atoms of the constituent elements. Ovshinsky '112 patent, cols 10-11. Particular alloys evaluated by another researcher include Ge2Sb2Te5, GeSb2Te4 and GeSb4Te7 Noboru Yamada, "Potential of Ge—Sb—Te Phase-Change Optical Disks for High-Data-Rate Recording", SPIE v.3109, pp. 28-37 (1997). More generally, a transition metal such as Cr, Fe, Ni, Nb, Pd, Pt and mixtures or alloys thereof may be combined with Ge/Sb/Te to form a phase-change alloy that has programmable resistive properties. Specific examples of memory materials that may be useful are given in Ovshinsky '112 cols. 11-13, which examples are hereby incorporated by reference.
Phase-change alloys are capable being switched between a first structural state in which the material is generally amorphous and a second structural state in which the material is generally crystalline in its local order. These alloys are at least bistable. The term amorphous is used to refer to a relatively less ordered structure, more disordered than a single crystal, which has the detectable characteristics such as high electrical resistivity. The term crystalline is used to refer to a relatively more ordered structure, more ordered in an amorphous structure, which has detectable characteristics such as lower electrical resistivity than the amorphous state. Typically, phase-change materials may be electrically switched between different detectable states of local order across the spectrum between completely amorphous and completely crystalline states. Other material characteristics affected by the change between amorphous and crystalline phases include atomic order, free electron density and activation energy. The material may be switched either into different solid phases or into mixtures of two or more solid phases, providing a gray scale between completely amorphous and completely crystalline states. The electrical properties in the material may vary accordingly.
Phase-change alloys can be changed from one phase state to another by application of electrical pulses. It has been observed that a shorter, higher amplitude pulse tends to change the phase-change material to a generally amorphous state. A longer, lower amplitude pulse tends to change the phase-change material to a generally crystalline state. The energy in a shorter, higher amplitude pulse is high enough to allow for bonds of the crystalline structure to be broken and short enough to prevent the atoms from realigning into a crystalline state. Appropriate profiles for pulses can be determined, without undue experimentation, specifically adapted to a particular phase-change alloy. The physical phase-change process has motivated research into structures that use a small amount of programmable resistive material.
Useful characteristics of the programmable resistive material include the material having at least two solid phases that can be reversibly induced by electrical current. These at least two phases include an amorphous phase and a crystalline phase. However, in operation, the programmable resistive material may not be fully converted to either an amorphous or crystalline phase. Intermediate phases or mixtures of phases may have a detectable difference in material characteristics. The two solid phases should generally be bistable and have different electrical properties. The programmable resistive material may be a chalcogenide alloy. A chalcogenide alloy may include Ge2Sb2Te5. Alternatively, it may be one of the other phase-change materials identified above.
A conventional sequence for forming a spacer is generally illustrated in
While the present invention is disclosed by reference to the preferred embodiments and examples detailed above, it is understood that these examples are intended in an illustrative rather than in a limiting sense. It is contemplated that modifications and combinations will readily occur to those skilled in the art, which modifications and combinations will be within the spirit of the invention and the scope of the following claims.

Before 3 days i submitted my first template (1st design http://i.imgur.com/Y82O4.png) and it got rejected… Now i completely redesigned my template (2nd design http://i.imgur.com/stz7E.jpg)... I am very new to themeforest so i don't know much about reviewing process… so please give some comments about my new design…
Thank you
The concept is not bad but you should work with color, it's very ugly (sorry!). Also your design make me anoying with many text.
Hi, Thanks for your suggesstions…
I like the lay-out, but the appearance looks 90s, unattractive colors ec. the green is even kind of aggressive. Also I would choose modern fonts etc. Again, the layout itself is OK, it just need some 'maturing'.
Thanks for your suggestions… i will work on colors…
Yes very oldish, and you should work abit on typo
Thank you Anps…
I will work on typography… What about layout is it ok??
The green color's gotta go

Restaurateur/ Founder and Chairman of the Board – Cordúa Restaurants
Michael Cordúa, one of Texas' most respected and celebrated restaurateurs, is founder and chairman of the board at seven award-winning Houston-area restaurants, including Amazón Grill, Américas Post Oak, Américas Woodlands, Américas River Oaks, Artista, Churrascos River Oaks and Churrascos Westchase. Since making his debut in 1988, Cordúa has been recognized as a pioneer of South American cuisine and has received national acclaim for his creative ideas and artful presentation. He was named one of America's "Top Ten Chefs" by Food & Wine and is the only Texas chef to be inducted into the "Food & Wine Hall of Fame." He is a recipient of the Robert Mondavi Award for Culinary Excellence, a member of the Continental Congress of Chefs & Sommeliers and a current semifinalist for the 2011 James Beard Foundation Outstanding Restaurateur award.
With inspiration from his uncle's restaurant in Managua, Cordúa conceived Churrascos, the first upscale Latin American-style restaurant in America. Critics were immediately enamored with the tantalizing dishes and unusual blending of spices and ingredients. Churrascos was featured in the New York Times and was named one of the "Best New Restaurants in America" by Esquire magazine. Following the success of Churrascos, Cordúa debuted Américas, a high-concept eatery specializing in the diverse cuisines of North America, Central America and South America. The concept provided Cordúa the opportunity to expand his prolific cooking talents to even further heights, and Américas was named "Restaurant of the Year" by Esquire magazine in November 1993. Américas added a second location in 2008 and a third that opened in September 2010.

Anti-illegal immigration activists are planning several hundred protests in cities across the country on Friday and Saturday, part of a growing backlash against the federal government's efforts to temporarily house migrant children detained at the border.
Protesters say they are concerned about safety, as the Obama administration pushes to move detainees from Texas to shelters run by nonprofits in other states.

Labor tensions are high at the largest port complex in the country — Los Angeles and Long Beach — which handles nearly half of all the cargo coming into the United States.
Short-haul truck drivers are striking. They're the independent, contract truckers who bring the containers off the ships to nearby warehouses for companies like Wal-Mart and Costco. At the twin ports, their numbers hover around 10,000.

Independent truck drivers at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach are on strike against three large trucking firms that operate at the ports.
Handling almost half of all the nation's cargo, the ports of Los Angles and Long Beach are the main gateway for imports from Asia.
A lot of the shipping containers end up on these idling trucks. The short-haul truckers bring the goods from here to nearby rail yards and distribution centers for companies like Costco, Forever 21 and Skechers.
"We're in this to win," says truck driver Byron Contrerras.

As the saying goes, all politics is local. And that couldn't have been clearer this week in and around Murrieta, Calif., a sleepy conservative enclave 60 miles north of San Diego.
Local leaders here made a loud stand against the planned movement of immigrant detainees to their city from overcrowded U.S. Border Patrol stations in Texas — and in the process rather purposefully thrust their city into the national political spotlight.

Cliven Bundy's ranch is just a few miles off Interstate 15 in southern Nevada, near the tiny town of Bunkerville. The dirt road that gets you there snakes through a hot and forlorn patch of desert. You know you've found it when you see a spray-painted sign for Bundy Melons.
"What we say is, we raise cows and melons and kids. That's what we do here," says Bundy, smiling as he hoses down a dusty sidewalk that leads into the family's ranch house.

Hire your Villains for a Villain only book...
By thanosrules 4 Comments
Villains for Hire #1 (of 4) was released today.
It got me thinking...
With solid books like this, I wonder why a "villain only" series wouldn't survive. We all know that "bad stuff" happens every day, much more than the good guys can attend to, so why not show more of the underworld's goings-on? With so many super-villain teams, it would almost be like the standard "good" vs. "bad"; only this time, it would be "bad" vs. "bad" - and why not?
Heck, things must be getting really boring for the "good guys" in the Marvel Universe if they have to start fighting each other for ratings! :)

France drops PH from tax blacklist
popular .
MANILA, Philippines—The Philippines has been removed from the French government's blacklist of noncooperative countries for their tax policies.
This according to the Department of Finance (DOF) which announced on Saturday that the Philippine government's move to improve its information sharing on tax-related matters with the French government paved the way for the removal of the country from the list.
The Bureau of Internal Revenue now has a solid information-sharing agreement with its counterpart in France, according to the DOF.
In fighting tax evasion and money laundering, the French government has encouraged other countries to share tax-related information, especially on French firms doing business in their territories.
Investors from countries on the blacklist are saddled with stricter tax rules in France.
According to Finance Secretary Cesar Purisima, the Philippines' removal from the blacklist was a welcome development as it signaled the country's commitment to fiscal integrity.
"This move is a recognition of the Aquino administration's commitment and tangible progress in combating tax avoidance and promoting fiscal honesty," Purisima said in a statement.

The combined power of Lance Armstrong and Twitter was once again on display this past Thursday in LA (that's Los Angeles and not Lance Armstrong) as the seven-time Tour champion invited anyone within 'tweetshot' to come to famed Griffith Park and ride with him.
"Hey LA - get out of your cars and get on your bikes. Time to ride. 7:30 tomorrow am. Griffith Park, LA Zoo parking lot. See you there.." was a Tweet Lance sent out to his nearly two million followers on Wednesday. Over five hundred cyclists showed up the next day to accompany Lance on three laps of the popular Griffith Park loop the following morning. It was only a one-hour ride, but that's not the point.
The transparency provided by Twitter created an opportunity for bike racing fans to meet their hero and enjoy an early-morning spin. Lance recently invited cyclists to join him on rides in Dublin, Ireland and Plano, Texas as well. After the LA ride, Lance tweeted "Great ride in Griffith Park. Thanks, LA!. . . Off to Montreal . . ."
If you are a fan of Twitter, stay tuned, Lance may be coming to ride in a city near you.

The project is expected to be completed next month-end
Officials of NHAI say nearly 85 per cent of the construction work has been completed
Work on elevated four-lane rotary has been completed barring the link to various sections
CHENNAI: Work on the grade separator at the busy Padi junction, which was hit due to monsoon and the recent truckers' strike, is gathering pace and the project is expected to be completed next month-end.
Officials of the National Highways Authority of India, the implementing agency, said nearly 85 per cent of the construction work had been completed. The truckers' strike came in the way of transportation of construction materials such as cement and earth. The fuel supplies for the machineries also came under strain when the officers of national oil companies went on a strike earlier this month.
But with the transportation and fuel supplies returning to normality, the balance work would be completed. Work on elevated four-lane rotary has been completed barring the link to the various sections.
Only the approaches to the grade separator on the four sides of the junction need to be constructed. Of the six ramps proposed to be built, earthwork has been taken up in two of them that lead to Anna Nagar and Red Hills, an official said.
The other two ramps are for use by vehicles from Villivakkam and Padi. Most of the vehicles plying via the busy Padi junction would use the elevated rotary except those proceeding from Anna Nagar to Red Hills, which would ply on the Inner Ring Road.
The project is being implemented at the cost of about Rs.130 crore, which includes the land acquisition cost, the official said.
The project, to facilitate free flow of traffic on the busy junction where the traffic pile-up lasts for over two hours, was started in 2005. The traffic intensity in the junction has been estimated at two lakh passenger car units daily.
Besides the increasing traffic from the neighbouring residential areas, the Padi junction is also used by hundreds of heavy vehicles transporting goods to the city from different parts of the country.

|See How Home Depot Inc Ranks Among Analysts' Top Dow 30 Picks
ETF Channel Staff - Tuesday, January 8, 1:42 PMA study of analyst recommendations at the major brokerages shows that Home Depot Inc (HD) is the #18 broker pick, on average, out of the 30 stocks making up the Dow Jones Industrial Average, according to ETF Channel. Within the broader S&P 500, when components were ranked in terms of analyst favorites, HD claims the #253 spot.
In forming this rank, the analyst opinions from the major brokerage houses were tallied, and averaged; then, the underlying components were ranked according to those averages. Investors often interpret analyst opinions from different angles � when companies have a low rank among analysts, it isn't necessarily the case that investors should conclude that the stock will perform poorly. It can, of course, but a bullish investor could also take the contrarian angle and read into the data that there is lots of room for upside because the stock is so out of favor.
For these reasons, we at ETF Channel find value to putting together these rankings, because both the top and the bottom ends of the list can often make for some interesting stock picking ideas for further research.
Below is a chart of rank over time:
According to the ETF Finder at ETF Channel, HD makes up 8.84% of the Retail ETF (RTH) which is trading lower by about 0.6% on the day Tuesday.

HD operates in the Home Improvement Stores sector, among companies like Lowe's Companies Inc (LOW) which is up about 0.3% today, and Fastenal Co. (FAST) trading lower by about 1.1%. Below is a three month price history chart comparing the stock performance of HD, versus LOW and FAST.
HD is currently trading up about 0.4% midday Tuesday.

ABSTRACT IWAC—the International Women's Anthropology Conference—has grown over four decades from a small New York–based organization to one that is truly global in scope and agenda. Inspired by the civil rights and feminist movements of the 1960s and early 1970s, three anthropologists, Eleanor Leacock, Constance Sutton, and Ruby Rohrlich-Leavitt, came together to form a feminist anthropology organization—the New York Women's Anthropology Caucus—dedicated to supporting women's struggles both inside and outside the Academy. In 1976, four years after its inception, the organization expanded to become IWAC. By using their anthropological expertise and connections with women in areas targeted for international development, IWAC members were able to provide the United Nations and other policymaking organizations with situated case studies of women's collective action and concerns. In this way, IWAC has charted a course for publicly engaged feminist anthropology that continues to resonate for engaged feminist scholars and activists today.

Critical appraisal
The classification of chondrichthians is a somewhat controversial subject. An authoritative opinion as to how sharks, rays, and chimaeras should be grouped can be reached only from a comprehensive critical review of all available pertinent living and fossil material. Students continuously add to the accumulation of field measurements and museum specimens, and so such a classification needs to be revised from time to time. Because this revision involves a vast amount of work, it is not often undertaken.
Many of the sharks, skates, and rays in subclass Elasmobranchii are difficult subjects for taxonomic study. Differences between species are often subtle and hard to measure. Lacking the skeletal support possessed by the bony fishes, captured sharks collapse along the soft undersides of the body when taken out of the water, thus reducing the accuracy of measurements. A satisfactory taxonomic study of any species requires adequate samples over a full range of sizes, representing the full geographical distribution of the species. The sampling allows for rather large variations in body proportions between individuals of like size and of different size groups and between populations inhabiting different regions of the total distribution. Hence, the identity of many species and the relationships between often them remains unsettled. The number of living species of sharks, estimated at over 400 at present, tends to increase as ichthyologists in different parts of the world accumulate and exchange careful anatomical measurements of fresh specimens and discover new species in previously unexplored areas.
In contrast, the rays, except for the larger forms, are somewhat easier to work with. About 500 species have been described. Here again, the number tends to increase as comparative studies and exploration in different parts of the world show many of them to be new species.

Gretzky Thoughts On "Rory" Vote
by Paul on 12/22/06 at 11:27 AM ET
Comments (0)
via the Arizona Republic, Coyotes coach Wayne Gretzky said Thursday he thinks the NHL should intervene in the "Vote for Rory" phenomenon to make sure the players who most deserve to play in next month's All-Star Game in Dallas are included.
"I'm not trying to be controversial," Gretzky said. "Maybe he deserves to be in the game. I can't stand here and tell you that he doesn't deserve to be in the game because I've never seen him play. But if he thinks he deserves to be in the All-Star Game, then good for him, he should go. If he doesn't believe he should be in the All-Star Game, he should stand up and say, 'You know what, there's other guys that deserve to be there.' That's kind of what my take on it is."

More Gifts

from Elliott Pap of the Vancouver Sun,
In the spirit of the season and because it won't cost us a penny, we're happy to hand out gifts to each NHL team. After that, it's up to them to make the playoffs.
Boston: Retro uniforms. The Bruins need to return full-time to the Bobby Orr-era sweaters when this franchise ruled the NHL world. Failing that, new owners.
Detroit: TV set locked to Comedy Channel. Coach Mike Babcock seems to have a perpetual frown, even when his team wins, so maybe this will cheer him up.
Nashville: Relish. The Preds have hotdog players and mustard-coloured third jerseys. This will complete the trifecta.

Pittsburgh Mayor Encouraged
by Paul on 12/22/06 at 10:54 AM ET
Comments (0)
from the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review,
Eager to allay fears the team will leave, Mayor Luke Ravenstahl and Allegheny County Chief Executive Dan Onorato spoke with National Hockey League Commissioner Gary Bettman by phone yesterday. Afterward, Onorato minimized the NHL's threats to allow the Penguins to move.
"Nothing's really changed, other than Mario and Bettman, in their last two statements, have stressed the legal ability for them to move the team, which is not news. We all knew that," Onorato said. "They have a legal right to shop it around."
Ravenstahl said he was encouraged after talking to Bettman, but stressed the need to talk with Lemieux.

Is Bettman The Right Commissioner
by Paul on 12/22/06 at 10:27 AM ET
Comments (0)
from Tony Gallagher of the Vancouver Province,
It may be early to judge, but Gary Bettman might have really done it this time.
You never know with the NHL owners of course, but this latest fiasco over the Pittsburgh Penguins just might be the one clanger that will open their eyes to who is running their league.
Research in Motion head Jim Balsillie was all set to pay a monstrous amount of money to buy a team with very low revenues, even though if everything went well and the rink had been built by the casino group, it would have been several years before he saw any type of return.

Finding Ken Hitchcock
by Paul on 12/22/06 at 10:25 AM ET
Comments (0)
from the Columbus Dispatch,
Who is this man? Hitchcock's life as a salesman is just as simple as Death of a Salesman. He has been content everywhere he has been, yet he has kept moving. He has been sought, he has been fired and he has won championships, including the game's ultimate prizes, the Stanley Cup and an Olympic gold medal. For his first big job, he submitted a resume written in pencil on a sheet of lined paper. He got his latest job after a 10-hour interview that included much philosophical discourse with a self-made billionaire.
Hitchcock has evolved, and continues to evolve, but some constants remain. As his old boss at United Cycle in Edmonton put it: "Ken is not set in his approach, but he is set in his philosophy."

No Canada

Comments (0)
from Stephen Brunt of the Globe and Mail,
(Question: When did hockey last appear on the cover of Sports Illustrated, that arbiter of mainstream American sports taste? Answer: Aside from a Steve Yzerman commemorative edition produced for the Detroit market, it was Oct. 14, 2002.)
But Bettman is undeterred. He is still trying to accomplish the mission he was hired to perform. He can't make a hard left turn now, or ever.
When might the NHL add teams in Canada? When the business implodes, or when the vision changes — which might amount to the same thing.
Either would require, or inspire, a change at the top.

Pens Knockin' Boots With Del Biaggio?
by George Malik on 12/21/06 at 09:04 PM ET
Comments (0)
from The Hockey News:
William "Boots" Del Biaggio, a former minority owner of the San Jose Sharks and frequent golfing partner of Mario Lemieux, has emerged as a potential buyer for the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Sources say Del Biaggio would then attempt to relocate the Penguins to Kansas City, pending approval from the NHL's board of governors.
Del Biaggio, a prominent San Jose businessman, tried to purchase the Penguins in the summer of 2005 and signed a letter of intent to do so, but the sale was pulled off the table after the Penguins won the draft lottery and the rights to Sidney Crosby.
Del Biaggio headed a group that was poised to buy the Penguins for about $100 million last summer, but then Lemieux and partner Ron Burkle, a California grocery magnate, announced that they would keep control of the Penguins.

Signs Of Slippage
by Paul on 12/21/06 at 07:02 PM ET
Comments (0)
from Gerry Fraley at the St. Louis Post-Dispatch,
There are signs of slippage, which the NHL has inflicted upon itself.
— Entering Wednesday's play, per-game attendance was down 2.6 percent from last season. Attendance numbers are tickets distributed, not bodies in the building. There are numerous anecdotal offerings throughout the league of in-house totals being far less than the announced attendance.
The six Canadian clubs returned from the lockout stronger than ever and continue to draw well. Edmonton is the laggard, and it is playing to 98.5 percent of building capacity.
It's a different matter in the States.

'Butete' kill 2, down 8 others in Negros
More News from Inquirer Visayas
BACOLOD CITY, Philippines—Two fishermen died while eight of their neighbors fell ill after eating puffer fish on Tuesday in Sagay City, Negros Occidental.
Jose Aragon of the Sagay City Disaster Risk Reduction Management Council identified the fatalities as Francisco Mapalo, 42, and Romulo Celeste, 58, both fishermen from Barangay Old Sagay.
According to Aragon, the fishermen caught a few kilos of puffer fish about 5 p.m. and cooked them.
They ate the puffer fish an hour later while drinking liquor. Some of the cooked puffer fish was given to their neighbors.
It was not until 11 p.m. when the fishermen and their eight neighbors started feeling sick, said Aragon.
They then sought assistance from the Sagay City disaster management council, which in turn took the victims to the hospital.
Mapalo was declared on arrival at the Alfredo E. Marañon Sr. Memorial District Hospital, said Aragon.
Celeste died while undergoing treatment, he added.
Five were still confined in the hospital. They were Theresa Belmoro, 34, and her son Gabriel, 5; Roy Hit, 30; Rommel Barcelona, 36; and Eric Bargabaldo, 44.
Three others had been discharged from the hospital. They were Ruby Ann Aligato, 34, and Belmoro's daughters Noemi, 2, and Abigail, 4.

I'm new to sailing so I'm pretty conservative. I tend to prefer 12-15 kts, hopefully with gusts not over 20. I haven't tried to reef my main yet, but I suppose if I did I could handle a bit more. I only have one headsail, a 110 hank on, so I'm limited there.
I went out once in my ideal conditions, and while out there winds increased, 20 kts steady with gusts to 30. I was not prepared for that...not reefed or anything. I was only on the main and when it happened the boat became quite a handful. I was literally fighting the helm, the boat was trying to round up (didn't know what that was until then) heeling way over and generally scared the **** out of me. My mouth was dry, heart was racing...but I figured out really quick to work that mainsheet constantly, easing out and trimming up as needed, and as soon as I felt that strong puff to let that puppy out and spill some wind. As soon as I got under the protection of a cove I doused and had like 5 smokes before I motored back in.
Lesson learned.

MLB draft day brings hope
-- Manager Bud Black said Adrian Gonzalez is one of the better first basemen in the majors, but Black is realistic about Gonzalez's chances of getting more All-Star votes than a certain other first baseman. "What's that guy's name in St. Louis?" Black said. "He's all right." Albert Pujols has been selected for the last six All-Star games, though he didn't play in last year's contest.
-- Scouts are paying extra attention to right fielder Brian Giles, who is having a strong season and could be a trade chip. The Red Sox are among the teams that would need Giles' consent to acquire him in a trade.

I dont have the kreiga 30 but have had kreiga u.s bags.they dryspec bags are dryer.the outer shell of kreigas hold water.the inner bag stays dry tho. the d 28 dual end is great. the straps on the drydpec 38are easierthan kreiga( but mabey its my racks(ive tried 2 racks) but I can cimch my bike down tight enough to not move the frame loops are to big.even with all the sslack taken in then cut. i probably have to cut and re-sew.the rigid core isnt as rigid as I thought.so unless your rack and seat are flat with each other strapping it lengthwise might not work to well.the opening on the 38 is far narrower than I though.large non flexible items will be impossible to get in.i do prefer kreigas white liner and side pocket zippers.though the dryspecs side pockets are useless anyway.i still prefer dryspec even with the strapping problen I had.oh and shoulder strap.yeah right dryspec but it does work as regular handle and compression straps and because my bag slides and I set it on the ground.it seems it gets more (scratched) up.than kreigas.
I drank the koolaid again.
Well, it took a lot of work to be the ass that I am
And I'm real damn sure that anyone can, equally easily f*ck you over ...(modest mouse).
