Your friendly, neighborhood physicist.
My favorite author is Kurt Vonegut and my favorite book is Small Gods by Terry Prattchet. I am currently reading The Suspicions of Mr. Whicher.
If I get testy with you here is the most likely reason:
We have to be willing to accept the results that science gives us. If we experimentally determine something to be true, then to the best of our knowledge within the confines of the experiment, it is true. And we should accept that truth until another experiment proves otherwise. This doesn't mean we shouldn't question these truths. What it means is if we decide to call them false then we better have damn good evidence. To do things differently is a slap in the face to everyone who calls themselves a scientist. And I take it personally.
Here are some good tips I have learned:
1. If you are going to vomit, take some Tums. It will neutralize the acid in your stomach.
2. You can use denture cleaner to clean anything.
3. Bring ear plugs concerts. You will be able to hear the higher frequencies easier and you will be better off afterwards.
4. Never ever, ever get in a fight with a tree.

Did I cross a line? Won't happen again- I do need help with the title for reals.

Eh. I was sort of hoping you would make you own octagons, cause those are a .gif and are not vectorized graphics so scaling them will not look good.
This might go in a publication by the way.

Hey Nate,
I took a look at the picture you sent me and the others from the corospondence youve had with schmawy. Did you want me to basically start from those octagons? Am I just adding those red lines that are looping around them?

The current loop goes on each dot. And then the field lines come out of the dot adding coherently in the center.

Just a sketch on top of yours to make sure I have it straight, before I clean it up...

Hey Schmawy,
Here is what I need, see what you can do.
http://i353.photobucket.com/albums/r387/MycroftHomlz/ScreenHunter_03Jul081049.gif
Draw four octagons as I have drawn them. Then add a circular line to indicate a current(a 3/4 circle with an arrow on one end).
http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/magnetic/elemag.html
If the current goes clockwise then it produces a magnetic field that is oriented down(so S to N), counter clockwise it goes the other way.(I would prefer ccw) I need them to draw one arrow pointing out of octagons.
These little dots are essentially little bar magnets, and I want to indicate that they add coherently in a specific place. Namely the little square in the middle. The next thing to add is some magnetic field lines, i.e. loops, but oriented them from the top view so they look like 'x's. In this way it will become clear that the center part they are all adding together.
The final step is to make a big arrow pointing down (if the currents are ccw). This would signify them adding. Make this arrow a different color.
