Secure Computing Corporation, or SCC, was a public company that developed and sold computer security appliances and hosted services to protect users and data. McAfee acquired the company in 2008.
The company also developed filtering systems used by governments such as Iran and Saudi Arabia that blocks their citizens from accessing information on the Internet.[1][2]
Company history[edit]
In 1984, a research group called the Secure Computing Technology Center (SCTC) was formed at Honeywell in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The centerpiece of SCTC was its work on security-evaluated operating systems for the NSA. This work included the Secure Ada Target (SAT) and the Logical Coprocessing Kernel (LOCK), both designed to meet the stringent A1 level of the Trusted Computer Systems Evaluation Criteria (TCSEC).
Over the next several years, Secure Computing morphed from a small defense contractor into a commercial product vendor, largely because the investment community was much less interested in purchasing security goods from defense contractors than from commercial product vendors, especially vendors in the growing Internet space.
Secure Computing became a publicly traded company in 1995. Following the pattern of other Internet-related startups, the stock price tripled its first day: it opened at $16 a share and closed at $48. The price peaked around $64 in the next several weeks and then collapsed over the following year or so. It ranged between roughly $3 and $20 afterward until the company was purchased by McAfee.
The company headquarters were moved to San Jose, California, in 1998, though the bulk of the workforce remained in the Twin Cities. The Roseville employees completed a move to St. Paul, Minnesota, in February 2006. Several other sites now exist, largely the result of mergers.
Mergers and acquisitions[edit]
Secure Computing consisted of several merged units, one of the oldest being Enigma Logic, Inc., which was started around 1982. Bob Bosen, the founder, claims to have created the first security token to provide challenge-response authentication. Bosen published a computer game for the TRS-80 home computer in 1979, called 80 Space Raiders, that used a simple challenge response mechanism for copy protection. People who used the mechanism encouraged him to repackage it for remote authentication. Bosen started Enigma Logic to do so, and filed for patents in 1982–83; a patent was issued in the United Kingdom in 1986. Ultimately, the "challenge" portion of the challenge response was eliminated to produce a one-time password token similar to the SecurID product. Enigma Logic merged with Secure Computing Corporation in 1996.
Secure Computing acquired the SmartFilter product line by purchasing Webster Network Strategies, the producer of the WebTrack product, in 1996.[3] The acquisition included the domain name webster.com, which was eventually sold to the publishers of Webster's Dictionary.
Shortly after acquiring the Webster/SmartFilter product, Secure Computing merged with Border Network Technologies, a Canadian company selling the Borderware firewall. Border Network Technologies boasted an excellent product and a highly developed set of sales channels; some said that the sales channels were a major inducement for the merger. Although the plan was to completely merge the Borderware product with Sidewinder, and to offer a single product to existing users of both products, this never quite succeeded. In 1998, the Borderware business unit was sold to a new company, Borderware Technologies Inc., formed by one of the original Borderware founders.
By this time, the mergers had yielded a highly distributed company with offices in Minnesota, Florida, California, and two or three in Ontario. This proved unwieldy, and the company scaled back to offices in Minnesota and California.
In 2002, the company took over the Gauntlet Firewall product from Network Associates.
In 2003, Secure Computing acquired N2H2, the makers of the Bess web filtering package. There has been some consolidation of Bess and SmartFilter, and Bess is now referred to as "Smartfilter, Bess edition" in company literature.
An acquisition of CyberGuard was announced in August 2005 and approved in January 2006. (A year earlier, CyberGuard had attempted to acquire Secure Computing, but the proposal had been rejected). This was the largest merger by Secure Computing at the time and resulted in the addition of several product lines, including three classes of firewalls, content and protocol filtering systems, and an enterprise-wide management system for controlling all of those products. Several offices were also added, including CyberGuard's main facility in Deerfield Beach, Florida, as well as the Webwasher development office in Paderborn, Germany, and a SnapGear development office in Brisbane, Australia.
In 2006, the company merged with Atlanta-based CipherTrust, a developer of email security solutions. The merger was announced in July 2006 and completed in August 2006.
On July 30, 2008, Secure Computing announced its intention to sell the SafeWord authentication product line to Aladdin Knowledge Systems, leaving the company with a business focused on web/mail security and firewalls. The sale was concluded later that year.
On September 22, 2008, McAfee announced its intention to acquire Secure Computing. The acquisition was completed not long afterwards, and the combined company formed the world's largest dedicated security company at the time.
Use of company products for governmental censorship[edit]
The OpenNet Initiative studied filtering software used by governments to block access by their citizens and found Secure Computing's SmartFilter program heavily used by both the Iranian and Saudi governments.[1][2] According to Secure Computing, any use of its software in Iran is without its consent—U.S. sanctions prohibit American companies from any dealings with Iran—and in 2005 the company said it is actively working to stop its illegal use.[2][4][5]
In response to the company, Jonathan Zittrain, co-director of Harvard Law School's Berkman Center for Internet and Society, stated, "[T]he fact remains that the software has been in use for an extended period of time there. And we've seen Secure Computing software turn up in more than just Iran. We've seen it in Saudi Arabia as well."[2]
In 2001 The New York Times reported that Secure Computing was one of ten companies competing for the Saudi government's contract for software to block its citizens' access to websites it deemed offensive.[6] The company already had a deal with the Saudis that was due to expire in 2003. In its defense, Secure Computing has always stated that it cannot control how customers use a product once it has been sold.[2][6] According to the OpenNet Initiative's 2007 report, the Saudi government's censorship "most extensively covers religious and social content, though sites relating to opposition groups and regional political and human rights issues are also targeted."[7]
The governments of the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Sudan, and Tunisia also actively use SmartFilter. The Tunisian government goes so far as to redirect blocked pages to a fake Error 404 page, to hide the fact that blocking software is being used.[8]
TrustedSource reputation system[edit]
TrustedSource, a reputation system that Secure Computing obtained as part of the CipherTrust acquisition, has become a key technology to the company, enabling all product lines with global intelligence capability based on behavioral analysis of traffic patterns from all of company's email, web and firewall devices and hosted services, as well as those of numerous OEM partners. TrustedSource derives real-time reputation scores of IPs, URLs, domains, and mail/web content based on a variety of data mining/analysis techniques, such as Support Vector Machine, Random forest, and Term-Frequency Inverse-Document Frequency (TFIDF) classifiers.
Web security products[edit]
The company's flagship web security product line is the Secure Web appliance (formerly known as Webwasher). It provides Anti-Malware protection, TrustedSource reputation-enabled URL filtering controls, content caching, and SSL scanning capabilities.
In June 2008, Secure Computing launched Secure Web Protection Service, an in-the-cloud hosted web security service that provides a similar set of features to the Secure Web appliance, without requiring any on-premise equipment or software.
Mail security products[edit]
The company's flagship email security product line is the Secure Mail appliance (formerly known as IronMail). It provides TrustedSource reputation-enabled anti-spam, data-leakage protection (DLP), encryption and anti-malware capabilities.[opinion]
Secure firewalls[edit]
The company's flagship firewall product, formerly known as Sidewinder,[9] is now called McAfee Firewall Enterprise. Over the years, Secure Computing (and its antecedent organizations) has offered the following major lines of firewall products:
- Firewall Enterprise (Sidewinder) – historically based on SecureOS, the company's derivative of BSDi (previously BSD/OS), but now based on FreeBSD.
- Secure Firewall Reporter
- Secure Firewall CommandCenter
- CyberGuard
- Borderware – sold off, as noted previously
- SecureZone – discontinued
- Firewall for NT – discontinued
- Gauntlet – built on Solaris, nearly phased out
The Sidewinder firewall incorporated technical features of the high-assurance LOCK system, including Type enforcement, a technology later applied in SELinux. However, interaction between Secure Computing and the open source community has been spotty due to the company's ownership of patents related to Type enforcement. The Sidewinder never really tried to achieve an A1 TCSEC rating, but it did earn an EAL-4+ Common Criteria rating.
Along with Sidewinder, Gauntlet had been one of the earliest application layer firewalls; both had developed a large customer base in the United States Department of Defense. Gauntlet was originally developed by Trusted Information Systems (TIS) as a commercial version of the TIS Firewall Toolkit, an early open source firewall package developed under a DARPA contract.
Controversial business dealings[edit]
The Tunisian Government bought licenses for Secure Computing's product Smartfilter.[10] The Tunisian Government is generally recognized as having a poor record when it comes to The Right of free expression.

Google revs up driverless car, axes steering wheel
Published on May 29, 2014 6:14 AM
LOS ANGELES (AFP) - Google unveiled plans to build its own self-driving car – minus the steering wheel – that it hopes to begin testing in the coming months.
"They won't have a steering wheel, accelerator pedal, or brake pedal... because they don't need them. Our software and sensors do all the work," Google's Chris Urmson said in a blog post late Tuesday.
Mr Urmson, who directs the self-driving car project, said Google plans to build about 100 prototypes, "and later this summer, our safety drivers will start testing early versions of these vehicles that have manual controls."
He added, "If all goes well, we'd like to run a small pilot program here in California in the next couple of years."

In this Chinese name, the family name is Ling.
Ling Xiaoyu (凌 曉雨 Líng Xiǎoyǔ; Japanese: リン・シャオユウ Rin Shaoyū) is a fictional character who was introduced to the Tekken franchise in Tekken 3 as a 16 year old girl and has returned in every subsequent release. Xiaoyu's fighting style was brought on with some influence from her master, Wang Jinrei. Her main goal throughout most of the series is to, through fighting in the tournaments, win so she can earn enough money to build her own amusement or theme park. However, in subsequent games of the series, Xiaoyu more focused on Mishima family's issues, in particular on Jin Kazama. Her role in Tekken 6 is equal to the storyline Jun in Tekken 2.
Tekken 3
Version 1
Xiaoyu is a 16 year-old who loves amusement parks. Entering the Tournament is her first step in having the perfect amusement park built in China.
Version 2
CUTE, SPIRITED, HAS PANDA... WILL TRAVEL. This young girl loves amusement and theme parks. Her dream is to build the perfect amusement park in China when she grows up.
She is both young and small in stature but Xiaoyu is a skilled martial arts expert. Many believe if she was more serious she could achieve real greatness. Having learned that the Mishima Estate is rich and powerful she seeks out Heihachi (president and CEO) to make her dream a reality.
While vacationing in Hong Kong with her family, Xiaoyu stowed away on a yacht bearing the name, Mishima Financial Empire. Heihachi was not on board but Mishima's men discovered her soon after the ship left port and Heihachi was informed immediately.
Upon his arrival, Heihachi found his men beaten and strewn around the ship as if it was hit by a hurricane. She threatened that she would go berserk again if he did not accept her challenge. Roaring with laughter, he promises to build the amusement park of her dreams if she wins the tournament.
Ending Description, "Dreamland?": Heihachi Mishima keeps his promise, and builds Xiaoyu a theme park. Xiaoyu imagines a place full of happiness and color named "Xiaoyu Land". However, when her daydream ends, Heihachi unveils the real theme park, which is a gloomy place he calls "Heihachi Land". Heihachi roars with laughter. Xiaoyu gets angry, and beats up Heihachi, yelling "Jerk". Odly, this ending is animated instead of in CGI.
Tekken 4
Xiaoyu was a junior at Mishima High School. She still lived, studied and trained as a ward of the Mishima Zaibatsu. But lacking any particular goals, Xiaoyu grew tired of her everyday routines.
However, one day, she received an anonymous e-mail that warned her of Heihachi's evil intentions and the danger to her life. Xiaoyu replied to the e-mail, but she did not receive any further messages from the anonymous individual.
Xiaoyu's intuition told her that Jin Kazama, who had been missing since the last Tournament, could have sent the message. She believed the message and started to suspect Heihachi and the Mishima Zaibatsu.
Upon hearing the announcement of the next Tournament, Xiaoyu made the decision to enter — hoping to be reunited with Jin and to unveil the truth behind Heihachi and the Mishima Zaibatsu.
Ending Description: Victory for Xiaoyu in the Tournament is not only a victory that few believed possible but also one that reveals the Mishima Zaibatsu's evil deeds for all to see. Soon after, Miharu Hirano is shown visiting an executive's office, and the chair behind the desk swivels around to reveal Xiaoyu, who has taken over the Mishima Zaibatsu. Miharu wonders what Xiaoyu is doing in the office, and when she replies that she's working, Miharu replies that she looks like she sits there and does nothing. Xiaoyu casually asks her friend how she did in her college entrance exams, and Miharu confesses that she has flunked all of them.
Wanting to help her friend, Xiaoyu offers her a job with the Mishima Zaibatsu, stating that from now on, she is going to make her own dreams come true. She tells Miharu that she saw Jin after the tournament and that he told her if she has a dream that she wants to come true, she should make it happen herself. Miharu lightly teases her, but recognizes a change in Xiaoyu, who used to depend on everybody else. Miharu agrees to work together and asks her friend what her dream is. Xiaoyu points out the window and responds, "Help me build that." The camera reveals a massive theme park being built with Mishima Zaibatsu funding and resources.
Tekken 5
Tekken 5 Manual Version
Xiaoyu cried when she heard Heihachi had been killed. In her sorrow, she wished she could go back in time. One day, Xiaoyu met a self-proclaimed genius who boasted he could invent a time machine if only he had the money. To fund the invention, Xiaoyu decided to enter the tournament.
Official Version
Xiaoyu is a high school student who is on a personal mission to save the Mishima family. In the previous tournament, Xiaoyu was saved from the evil plans of Heihachi by Yoshimitsu, who taught her the history of the Mishima family. Hearing this, Xiaoyu began to believe that the root of all misfortune surrounding the Mishima's started with Heihachi's cruel upbringing of Kazuya.When Xiaoyu heard of the death of Heihachi, a tear came to her eye. "If only I could turn back time..." Xiaoyu said with a hint of sadness and regret.
Later, Xiaoyu happens to meet a brilliant scientist who claims that he can make a time machine as long as he gets the funding for development.
Under the condition that she will be first to use the machine, Xiaoyu pulls out the wadded scrap of paper in her pocket... an invitation to the King of Iron Fist Tournament 5.
Ending Description: After winning the tournament, Ling Xiaoyu is the first to use her time machine. She travels back to the time when Heihachi Mishima was about to throw Kazuya off of a cliff, intending to avert this event that will rip the family apart. Unfortunately, Xiaoyu had lost control of the time machine and it barreled into Heihachi and Kazuya, sending Kazuya falling off of the cliff, while Heihachi is nearly sent over himself. Xiaoyu is wretched because of her failure, and the old scientist comes to her, laughing, and tells her that nobody can really change the past, remarking "The best you can hope for are minor improvements." This ending is also animated.
Tekken 6
Ling Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Heihachi had not truly died. However, as head of the Mishima Zaibatsu, Jin Kazama aims to take Heihachi's life. Xiaoyu was going to try and stop Jin herself, but the Zaibatsu pushed towards militarization, making it difficult to approach Jin.
The Mishima Zaibatsu's declaration of war drew hostility from around the globe. When the King of Iron Fist Tournament 6 is announced, Ling Xiaoyu enters in the hope that she can save Jin's soul from evil.
Ending Description: Xiaoyu meets Jin on a rooftop, where he is on the ledge about to jump. "No Jin! Don't do this." she says, but Jin sadly replies, "The evil I've perpetrated...can never be undone." He makes to sacrifice himself, but Xiaoyu jumps onto the ledge and hugs Jin, saying, "I...I'll stand by you~ Please... You can't do this!" After having a conversation, Jin says, "Thank you, Xiao". Suddenly, it's revealed that the sequence was just a dream. She wonders if she hugged Jin but no; it was Panda.

1906 is a 2004 American fictional historical novel written by James Dalessandro.[1][2] With a 38-page outline and six finished chapters, he pitched it around Hollywood in 1998 for a film by the same name, based upon events surrounding the great San Francisco earthquake and fire of 1906.[3][4]
When Dalessandro was researching 1906 as a prequel to his 1993 historical mystery novel Bohemian Heart, his manager urged him to write a detailed film treatment based upon that research. The treatment was quickly sold to Warner Bros. After he had completed three drafts of a screenplay for Warners, he turned his attention to writing the novel.[3][4][5]
Dalessandro grants his book was partially inspired by a 1989 non-fiction work by Gladys Hansen,[6] curator of the Museum of the City of San Francisco. When looking for research materials in 1996, he found Denial of Disaster: The Untold Story and Photographs of the San Francisco Earthquake and Fire of 1906 in a bookstore.[7] He also explained use of meticulous personal research. Book scenes with people lying in shock in Golden Gate Park after the quake while surrounded by their possessions was inspired by fact. Enrico Caruso was found wandering in the park, having slept the night there after the Palace Hotel was destroyed. Dalessandro granted a lot of research but use of imagination as well. The novel's depictions were pieced together from letters and observations. In reflecting on how some persons took bathtubs out of their damaged homes, placed them on roller skates, and then filed the tubs with possessions, he noted that the displaced persons would save what was valuable to them... their favorite skillet, grandfather clocks, and pets. When asked to describe 1906 San Francisco, Dalessandro offered that it was "Paris and part Dodge City",[8] expanding that at the time the city "was urbane and sophisticated"[8] while at the same time being The Barbary Coast and fistfights. In handling the then-existing corruption and investigations in San Francisco, he condensed actual situations that had developed over many months into a shorter timespan and with a changing of names.[8] Dalessandro also notes that his researches found the claimed death toll of 478 persons killed by the quake and fire, held as an official count for over 100 years, to be inaccurate. In 2005 the San Francisco Board of Supervisors granted a petition from he and Hansen, and raised the count to over 3,000.[9][10]
Set during the time of the great San Francisco earthquake and fire, this novel is a story of corruption, romance, revenge, rescue, and murder, based on recently uncovered facts that stand to change the understanding of what actually occurred really happened in the weeks and days before and after the earthquake of April 18, 1906. In a narrative told by reporter Annalisa Passarelli, the novel describes Gilded Age-era San Francisco from the opulent mansions on Nob Hill to the gambling, prostitution and crime-ridden Barbary Coast to the arrival of Enrico Caruso and the San Francisco Metropolitan Opera. The central plot of the novel circles around the ongoing battles between political and cultural factions before the earthquake, and even as the city burns afterwards.
Annalisa Passarelli is a music critic for The Evening Bulletin and is secretly helping the police gather evidence of corruption related to the incumbency of Mayor Eugene Schmitz. Chief of Detectives Byron Fallon hopes to arrest the corrupt mayor, police chief, and city attorney in one fell swoop, but is killed when investigating a waterfront murder. After his death, his son Hunter, a Stanford graduate and amateur detective, steps up to accept his father's mission. Hunter's brother Christian co-leads The Brotherhood, an association of honest police who are dedicated to overthrowing city corruption. Annalisa and Hunter appeal to The Brotherhood for assistance and incriminating evidence is secured, while at the same time the two grow fond of each other. Before the information can be acted upon, the earthquake strikes and the city is thrown into chaos.
Critical response[edit]
Publishers Weekly wrote that the book was an "imaginative and dense interplay" of both fact and fiction surrounding the events of the great quake. While observing that the through plot and numerous sub-plots, the storyline generally worked. It was offered that the author used "too many B-movie theatrics"[1] and the love story portion of the book suffered. Those weaknesses aside, the reviewer wrote "there's plenty of suspense to keep readers turning pages to the bittersweet conclusion."[1]
San Francisco Weekly decried the mixing of real persons with fictional, as it was felt that the combining of fiction with fact by attributing fictional dialogue to actual persons works to the detriment of history. They further decried Dalessandro taking liberties with truth in his fictional work and his implication that the most historical scenarios of the catastrophe are far from accurate, writing "thus is born the brazen premise of filtering truth through the wiggly lens of fiction, taking liberties with life and death to wake up readers who otherwise don't care about stuff that happened in the past."[6]
Contrarily, Kirkus Reviews offered that Dalessandro's mixing of historical fact with fiction "pays off with an exciting and vivid depiction of history."[2]
Film adaptation[edit]
A film adaptation of 1906, based on both Dalessandro's screenplay and novel, is in development by Warner Bros. Pictures and Pixar Animation Studios, in association with Walt Disney Pictures.[11]
The original idea for a screenplay came to Dalessandro when researching 1906 as a prequel to his 1993 historical mystery novel Bohemian Heart and had finished a 38-page outline and six chapters of the novel when his manager suggested the success of "Titanic" would make the project salable.[4] When the concept was pitched to production companies in July 1998, there was an instant bidding war, and within 24 hours a script had been sold to Warner Bros.[3][12][13] Film producer Len Amato wanted Dalessandro to write at least three drafts.[3] After completing the drafts, Dalessandro return to writing the novel 1906, and published it in 2004 as an historical novel.[3][4][5]
Film pitch[edit]
When Titanic became a blockbuster in 1997, Peter Miller, Dalessandro's manager, urged him to write a detailed film treatment based upon his book outline. They pitched to directors' production companies, specifically Steven Spielberg's DreamWorks, Barry Levinson's company Baltimore Spring Creek, and Wolfgang Petersen's company. According to Dalessandro, the pitch was "Titanic was a boat in the North Atlantic – this is an entire city, the most beautiful we've ever seen, destroyed in 40 hours."[4] There was an instant bidding war, and within 24 hours they had sold the script to Warner Bros. for six figures. The script then went to Barry Levinson and Paula Weinstein and Spring Creek Productions for production. They settled on this company because producer Len Amato wanted Dalessandro to write at least three drafts, giving the writer more influence.[3] After finishing the drafts, Dalessandro wrote and released his novel 1906 in 2004.[4][5]
Film pre-production[edit]
The film has an estimated budget of $200 million, and due to the massive size and scale of the project, is being financially backed by both Pixar Animation Studios and Walt Disney Pictures, making it the first time Pixar has been involved in a live-action film. Pixar producer and director John Lasseter is also involved.[14][15]
Academy Award-winning director Brad Bird was selected to direct the film. He paused his work on the project to direct the 2007 Pixar film Ratatouille,[16] before officially signing onto the 1906 project in March 2008, at which time Warner Bros. reserved all sound-studios available on their Burbank lot for production.[14] However, later that spring, Warner Bros. quietly released the reservations while and Brad Bird continued rewriting the screenplay in order to lessen the massive scope of the story.[15] Much like Titanic, the studios openly admit the film has enormous box office potential, but blogger Jim Hill suggested the film's start date was postponed due to Disney/Pixar and Warner Bros.' nervousness over the projected $200 million budget.[14]
In 2009, MTV News reported that director Brad Bird had been scoutting locations. Information from Dalessandro indicated that the film would likely be shot in Vancouver, Canada, New Zealand or Australia.[17]
In 2011, it was reported by Brad Bird that the film project was still being developed. The issues he raised was his difficulty in narrowing the scope of such a manner as to be true to the story within the constraints of practical film length.[18]
"I don't know. It's all about getting the story to work, and the canvas is so big on it that it's easy to bust down its movie-sized walls and go rampaging throughout the countryside. The problem has always been scaling it and containing it in a movie-sized length. It's really a movie that wants to be a miniseries. But if you did it as a miniseries, then you'd have to do it for the small screen, and the story demands to be told on a big screen. So we're still working on it." - Brad Bird[19]
In February 2012, it was revealed that a rewrite of Dalessandro's script had been completed by Michael Hirst, and Brad Bird was now rewriting it yet again.[20] and in June The Atlantic was reported on Brave and detailed its lack of resemblance to earlier Pixar successes was due to it being the studio's first film to have not been directed and co-written by one or more members of its core team of John Lasseter, Pete Docter, Andrew Stanton, Brad Bird, and Lee Unkrich. Bird's absence from that project was reported to have been because "with the upcoming 1906", Bird was "branching out into live-action".[21]
As of late 2012, Brad Bird abandoned the project after he and several other writers could not master the script, which had deviated extensively from Dalessandro's original novel and screenplay. Pixar and John Lasseter has also abandoned the project, along with Disney, which is now in limbo at Warner Brothers.

It would help if you quoted your intended target... I had to go searching as to whom you were asking .
IMHO... The only reason it was not soil to begin with in your and my boats is the builder was to cheep to do it..A lot of top of the line boats have a sold core where intended deck penetrations are..cheaper built bots not so much.
You ask why...Simply water intrusion ....intrusion and compromise of the core material rather wood or foam that you are currently facing and would not and will not ever be a future issue with solid glass core in that area.
The only reason for any plywood or balsa core in the first place was for a stiffner..and cheap stiffening at that...There is an exception when an insulating factor is desired in the hulls construction..but a modern sandwich is ultra light and ultra strong..but still generally solid glass where penetrations are engineered to go through either their decks or hull.
I have no clue as to why it was suggested as a bad idea to go solid in your mast step area..maybe he will respond to his answer.
FWIW...repairing it from the top will be WAY easier..just way harder to get your top gel-coat looking factory nice that's all..as you will have gravity working for you not against you...as I said earlier practice with 2 or three goes at mixing and saturating some scrap pieces together to get the hang of saturating and working with mat and resin..it ain't rocket science..learn to work all the air and excess resin out of the mat..gobbing on way to much resin is a beginners fist mistake..you dont want any unsaturated areas but you dont want it swimming in the stuff either..it will be brittle and crack.
You say you have lots of experiance with glass...Then Go For it!..If I was there I would help you.
"Go Simple...Go Large"
Relationships are everything to me..everything else in life are just tools to enhance them.
The purchase price of a boat is just the admittance fee to the dance...you still have to spend money on the girl...so court one with something going for her with pleasing and desirable character traits others desire as well... or you could find yourself in a disillusioned relationship contemplating an expensive divorce.

Jewish World Review Sept. 22, 2008 / 22 Elul 5768 Thou Shalt Pay By Rabbi Dr. Asher Meir
SOURCES: (1) Babylonian Talmud, Ketubos 86a (2) Shiltei Giborim commentary on Raf Alfasi, Bava Kamma 45b; Shach commentary Choshen Mishpat 332:2 IMPORTANT NOTE: Last week I wrote about providing facilities for the very risky business of day trading. I suggested that this is an inappropriate business unless certain safeguards are present, such as providing accurate information about the chances of success and insisting on an extended dry run with simulated trades to impress on newcomers the dangers of the trade. A number of readers wrote that a great many facilities do indeed insist on these safeguards. I am happy to hear it and to qualify my statements by saying I don't mean to pass judgment on the "average" day trading facility. My main message was, and remains, that this is business is ethically risky and a number of safeguards are necessary in order to run it in a responsible fashion.

1)I live in Russia and Chinese servers are more optimal to me, especially since you don't need any proxies to enter.
2)Studying chinese.
4)Amount of servers.
3)Lots of events and content. Besides that, chinese people are pretty interesting to talk with in English (since some of them know it quite well).

Some Stories Are Just Way Better In My Head!
Now I just need Seymour, 2x ragnarok, 1x key of success and 2x iron dukes and I can start my new game+, which I'm going to 100% with Tidus, Auron and Lulu.
No reason for me to play then. I really liked 1.0 better then this version. Atleast the community did everything, instead of just a few...
Thyrus Animus! A proper item level 100 weapon at last.

Some Stories Are Just Way Better In My Head!
You do realise it's +2 stats per book right ? so +2 mind (or other main stat) times 3 = +6 mind.
Same with +3 determination, +6 vitality, etc etc.
You also gain 3 weapon damage vs a zenith version, or 1 weapon damage if you got an allagan weapon.
Weapon damage >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> all the other stats, it's very much worth it on every level.
I heal for 1900-1930 per cure 2 at the moment and 1200-1210 per cure 1 (without divine seal).
But hey, if you don't find it worth it, that's up to you. I am happy with my weapon!

The spatially varying polarization of a focused Gaussian beam in quasi-phase-matched superlattice under electro-optic effect |
Optics Express, Vol. 18, Issue 24, pp. 25000-25007 (2010)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (1245 KB)
We present in this paper a wave coupling theory of linear electro-optic (EO) effect for quasi-phase matched (QPM) of focused Gaussian beam in an optical superlattice (OSL). The numerical results indicate that, due to the EO effect of an appropriate applied electric field, the output beam will form spatially inhomogeneous polarization, changing continuously in transverse section of beam; the confocal parameter has a significant impact on the output polarization of Gaussian beam and determines the half-wave voltage.

Peppermint Foot Cream - Soothing and Cooling, 4 oz
Like Peppermint Butter Cream Frosting for your Feet!!
This lovely foot cream is thick and rich and is infused with peppermint essential oil to cool and soothe tired muscles. Use on feet, neck, shoulders, and back! Due to the nature of peppermint oil, do NOT use on sensitive areas - it will tingle (and for super sensitive skin/areas it could burn a bit).
Actual customer feedback:
"Oh, my feet are in heaven and I smell like a candy cane. Perfect. ;)"
"Smells great! My feet feel great too!!"
"Great stuff! My husband loves it, his feet look wonderful"
Each 4 ounce pot contains: Distilled water, cocoa butter, vegetable emulsifying wax, vegetable liquid glycerin, vegetable stearic acid, Optiphen [Phenoxyethanol and Caprylyl Glycol] and peppermint essential oil.
I recommend using product within 12 months.
I accept PayPal, Google checkout, and RME (online money orders) as forms of payment - for Google or RME, let me know in the notes to seller how you'd like to pay and the proper email to send the invoice.
Orders will be mailed within five business days of receipt of payment. I will refund any shipping that exceeds $1.00 over what I estimated!
Please feel free to contact me with any questions. Happy Shopping!

Change the way Perl modules are installed, update the default Perl to 5.18. Before, we had: site_perl : lib/perl5/site_perl/5.18 site_perl/perl_arch : lib/perl5/site_perl/5.18/mach perl_man3 : lib/perl5/5.18/man/man3 Now we have: site_perl : lib/perl5/site_perl site_arch : lib/perl5/site_perl/mach/5.18 perl_man3 : lib/perl5/site_perl/man/man3 Modules without any .so will be installed at the same place regardless of the
Support STAGEDIR.
Add NO_STAGE all over the place in preparation for the staging support (cat: mail)
- Add WWW - Use single space after WWW: - Remove Author line
- Convert to new perl framework - Trim Makefile header - Remove MAKE_JOBS_SAFE=yes, it's the default.
- Remove SITE_PERL from *_DEPENDS
At the moment 1385 ports use BUILD_DEPENDS= ${RUN_DEPENDS} and 450 ports use BUILD_DEPENDS:= ${RUN_DEPENDS}. This patch fixes ports that are currently broken. This is a temporary measure until we organically stop using := or someone(s) spend a lot of time changing all the ports over. Explicit duplication > := > = and this just moves ports one step to the left Approved by: portmgr
The vast majority of pkg-descr files had the following format when they had both lines: Author: ... WWW: .... So standardize on that, and move them to the end of the file when necessary. Also fix some more whitespace, and remove more "signature tags" of varying forms, like -- name, etc. s/AUTHOR/Author/ A few other various formatting issues
- Cleaning MD5 in perl@'s ports Approved by: erwin@ (portmgr)
Reassign my p5-* ports to perl@ so more than one person can look at them.
- Take advantage of CPAN macro from bsd.sites.mk, change ${MASTER_SITE_PERL_CPAN} to CPAN. PR: ports/122674 Submitted by: Philip M. Gollucci <firstname.lastname@example.com> Reworked by: araujo (myself) Approved by: portmgr (pav)
- Add SHA256 Approved by: maintainer
search.cpan.org redirect reduction canonicalization project, pass 1: URLs automatically rewritten from /search?dist=Foo or /dist/Foo to /dist/Foo/ (note trailing slash). After a 2002(!) reorganization, this is the preferred way to refer to modules on search.cpan.org. This pass brought to you by http://people.freebsd.org/~fenner/fix-search
Add size data, approved by maintainers.
Remove the recursive assignment of SITE_PERL to ${SITE_PERL} introduced in the last commit.
utilize SITE_PERL PR: 58166 Submitted by: Cheng-Lung Sung <email@example.com>
Change to my FreeBSD.org address
- update to 0.3 - assume maintainership - add WWW PR: 39876 Submitted by: Erwin Lansing <email@example.com>
Remove do-configure section, use PERL_CONFIGURE now.
Add p5-Mail-FilterXML 0.1, perl module that allows writing mail filter rules in XML.
