I can't find a disk for less than $40.00. Can you direct me somewhere. Also, I found this add for a class on high temp sc. http://www.training-classes.com/programs/03/55/35559_introduction_to_high_temperature_superconductors.php One of the items on the sylabus is "how to make a simple sc from scratch using readily available materials." I would really like to do that. Does anyone here know how to make ybco or some sc from scratch, even if it costs a little more?

We've got a company called Scott Gross that will sell, but I need an appropriate dewar. I coundn't get a straight answer on what appropriate is, except that it's labled. I doubt it's labled "appropriate." I could use some sources for buying the cheapest possible "suitable" dewar. I've tried ebay, but I can't find anything with a lid for an afordable price. They won't sell it to you if you only have a lidless flask, will they? I can spend right around $100. I expect a challenge, at that price.

It doesn't have to heal for you to post pics, Rodg. It may have swelled up. Did it mutate? Did gangreen set in? Myonecrosis would be cool. You can post those too, dude.

Not yet, but give me a week. Thanks for the response. That's just the kind of information I was looking for.

Is spin just a substitute for an unknowable quality in elementary particles? I just assume color is. How is spin possible in something fundamental. Are there actual surface features on or around a particle that literally rotate around it?

Hey Roger, You going to post those pics or what? I want to see how the hole is doing.

Thanks Alien, That's an interesting thing I never knew. I'd like to know more about the strong nuclear force and what it's limits are. I've never heard of a force increasing with distance, and I wonder if it's possible to know why. I don't understand the excessive amount of energy leading to no free neutron, either. Could you explain that too.

Has a quark ever existed or been detected indepenent of neutron or proton?

Alright, Roger. Try this. Shoot yourself in the thigh where the bullet has to go through much more tissue. If it doesn't mushroom then, I'd probably stop buying them. Let me know how it turns out.

About the bullet filling with air, I"m baffled. Surely, air doesn't spread them. Why didn't the bullet mushroom? Was it defective? Maybe not enough resistance? Take it back to guy who sold it to you, and demand a refund. He'll get a kick out of that.

You've got 9 more, dude. Don't sweat it.

I don't know what these women are worked up about. It's a mere flesh wound, Roger, and I think your feet are "dead sexy!" Posting the pictures so we can track the healing process is a very cool idea. You might consider shooting the other foot so you won't walk with a limp.

Forget the healing process. I want to see you squirt water through your foot. As far as being a risk taker goes, this is the best thing that could happen to you. The same is true with your first wreck that does no permanent physical damage, (The psychological damage turns out to be very valuable). My Dad used to call it getting a "practical education." A quick glance into epistimology, will show you there is a vast difference between symbolic knowledge gained in a class and spatial behavior learned by experience. Among my research papers in education, one argued that you can't teach behavior, (using the traditional understanding of teaching). Knowledge is gained by learning via letters/words/symbols. Behavior must be inspired. Your knowledge didn't prevent complacency, so by shooting your foot, you've inspired yourself. Ha. By posting them online, you're inspiring us. Our behavior will be modified by the pictures far more than by the words criticizing your actions. Good show, Roger. It's probably not too late to squirt water through it. What's the worst that can happen?

You're a philosopher, dude. You live to waste time, but I guess you'll waste it doing something else, then.

You might like Dexter. Pure fiction, but it'll satify your apitite for philosophy and blood.

I like your style, but the required elements to support life are more numerous that a full court can support. I especially like your anallogy of King Oxygen haveing two queens...kinky. I stand by my vote for bismuth.

I want a biohazard t-shirt anyway. can you help a brother out?

I have to say, by far, the coolest t-shirt would be the biohazard. It's one I would wear without feeling like a pretentious intellect. It doesn't say, "look at me, I'm smarter than you." It's more of a declaration. "I like to take risks."

Is this from one of your respected critiques who have lead you to the volumes of books you so enjoyed? How about "Dragons of Babylon"? Does anyone, (who has read it) have an opinion to offer?
