Spit it out.
What are the weapons of choice of AZ's two main science dudes?
Enquiring minds want to know....:grin-square:

What's in your cases, Bob Jewett and Dave Alciatore?
- Thread starter Bob Callahan
- Start date
Athough I am interested what you guys have in your cases it won't be the same with out Samm:wink:.
A Balabushka with about 4 shafts, a Kilby wood-jointed cue with one shaft, the rules of snooker, worn #600 sandpaper, a 2x3 sanding board, chalk, two extra rubber wraps, a notebook mostly used to record 14.1 practice, a Sharpie to remark my ferrule (or where the ferrule would normally be for some shafts), a pen, several paper disks the same diameter as a ball, and sometimes a microfiber towel.
Actually, I never used a slide rule in school. The toughest calculations I had to do were square roots for chemistry and those are easy enough to do by hand. Later, when I changed from math to engineering and needed sines and exponentials/logs, the HP-35 had just been introduced (1972), and I got what was probably one of the first 1000. For you young people, the HP-35 was the first real scientific calculator. I had to get it replaced as it had the famous exp() error. The price in 2010 dollars was $2000.

Dr. Dave is in the middle of class and asked me to post pics of his cue and pool gear:
IMHO it is not is what is in the Case that make you play good or bad, it is CTE, or what ever Aiming System is your choice, and know that Pool is 80% or MORE is a,

Earl used the exact same gear!

Do I remember right, that one of those shafts is a 10.5mm, with no ferrule? What's the deflection like? I never thought of marking a fake ferrule...that's a great idea.
Brings me back. I first took college chemistry in 1971 (coincidentally at Dr. Dave's school, Colorado State). The prof was INSISTENT that anyone entering the fields of science or engineering had to be competent with the slide rule--which we would be using everyday throughout our careers!
He made learning about slide rules a major part of the class.
By the next year, slide rules were never mentioned again in any class...
I read that to mean he marks the orientation with a dot or something to improve radial consistency. Which is it, Bob? Err...the other Bob

Holy Shizer that's funny!
Nice Plug for Social D !!! I have been waiting a real long time for this album, and i know it will live up to the wait based on the first track that has been released http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5X1WCqpMM0o

It's a very powerful shirt, you know.
Saw them a little over a month ago in New Orleans. They played three songs from Hard Times and Nursery Rhymes; Still Alive, Bakersfield and Alone and Forsaken (Hank Williams cover). Alone and Forsaken was actually recorded as a B side on the Cold Feelings single in 1992, but played at a much slower tempo than it is now.
Saw them in 2005 in Birmingham Alabama, and they played Diamond In The Rough. So that song's been floating around waiting to make it on an album for quite a while also.
This album is gonna be kick ass!
What about the little pic of "Bumpypickle"?.
Yeah, but is it the CTE that makes you play good or play bad?
*ducks*
Sorry, I couldn't resist after reading all the CTE threads.
