Methods, articles of manufacture, and systems for providing access to a grid computing environment. The shackle includes a long leg and a short leg. Specifically, the polymeric resins of the present invention are comprised of from 10 to 50,000 polyamide ligand units wherein each polyamide ligand unit contains at least three amide groups and two amine groups separated by at least two carbons. In some aspects, group ACKs are transmitted pursuant to a schedule. Further embodiments are directed to the apparatus that is necessary for carrying out this process and the frozen product achieved. A crosslinkable composition is also disclosed for preparing thick coating layers having a dry thickness of at least 70 mu having a surface appearance and hardness of the resulting cured composition.
