Thank you for your kind response concerning blocking one polarity of a
permanent magnet (http://www.madsci.org/posts/969123728.Ph.r.html). However, 
since I have a R&D dept, although not directly
related in the field, on my own I have managed to block a polarity 
partially.
Of course if one causes a south polarity for example to be attracted by a
metal, the pull of the south polarity weakens it. It no longer has the
strength as it had before. Accordingly the north polarity still maintains 
its
strength according to my results. Why is that possible?  Dianne
