With the exception of some new cover garments, shirts, jackets and vest, I haven't changed the way I dress at all. I don't open carry.
I have added a few holsters to accomidate the way I dress rather than changing the way I dress for the holster.
This is a discussion on dress to resemble a sheep or sheepdog? within the Concealed Carry Issues & Discussions forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; That's the best title I could come up with, sorry. But the question is is: When you are carrying concealed, no matter if you are ...
To blend in with the sheep.
To make me less of a target.
Never thought of it.
That's the best title I could come up with, sorry.
But the question is is: When you are carrying concealed, no matter if you are going to be in a relatively safe place or an area where you do not feel safe, do you dress to blend in or do you wear clothes that you feel, for whatever reason, like the bad guys would be less likely to target you?
I personally dress normally no matter where I am going to be. If I am carrying concealed ( I do open carry a good bit of the time in the summer) I dress in a manner that allows me to not stand out so to speak. But, I know some out there may wear clothes that make them look badder or meaner. "Biker" type clothes. Maybe military surplus clothing.
If you do wear something that you think makes you less likely to be a target, please tell us what it is and why you wear it.

ALWAYS carry! - NEVER tell!

I really haven't changed style at all. I wear the same kinds of clothes whether I have a gun on me or not.
imo, it's your body language and level of alertness that makes you "look" like a poor target to a BG, not how many metal studs you have on your leather jacket.
I wear my normal attire,sometimes biker looking , sometimes a bit more dressed up.

I have no idea if it makes a difference at all as far as throwing out the "I'm A Sheep Dog" vibe but I do wear 5.11 pants because they are a great pant for one and are designed to hold our daily gear we all carry and they make life easier.
Depending on the weather like today it's snowing I will also wear my Danner tactical boot's like 5.11's, there comfortable, water proof and I like to wear them when conditions call for them.
Other than that I am pretty much normal dressed IMO. A thug I don't think would have a clue what 5.11 pants are and the boot's allbeit are black they look like normal boot's for the most part. I wear/dress in clothes that allow me to carry all my gear in the best possible condition, comfort is important as well as having the best possible access to what I might need right away.
Train and train hard, you might not get a second chance to make a first impression!

I dress the same now as I did before I started to carry. Usually jeans and t shirt or polo shirt away from work, always tucked in. At work it is jeans and polo or button up shirt tucked in. Using an iwb tuckable holster.
In the few months that it is actually cool or cold enough to wear another garment, jacket or additional shirt I will sometimes but rarely use a paddle holster under the other garment.
Just remember that shot placement is much more important with what you carry than how big a bang you get with each trigger pull.

The only changes I ever make to my mode of dress would pertain much more to what is comfortable, and what is conducive to concealed carry. The choices I make are not about what would make predatory criminals either select me or avoid me.
In fact, I don't really credit the choice of clothing as being able to effect such a response by predatory criminals. Demeanor has much more to do with that, I feel, than whether I'm wearing a blazer, polo shirt, sweatshirt, flipflops or wingtip shoes...
I certainly would not deliberately make myself look like a by choice of clothing (even if I could figure out what that objectively entailed in the first place). Would that not be daring an attack to happen?
I did not click a poll answer: I think there should be a choice of "I don't think it really matters"
While dress can be an issue, it is more the way you carry yourself and your "presence" that is an issue. If you move, act and carry yourself with confidence and don't act like prey, then you won't look like prey. Look alert, aware and prepared; predators will leave you alone.
I wear vest now and shirts not tucked in. And occasionally I wear a fanny pack. Don't know where exactly that puts me on this spectrum but I have yet to see any news report or other report that someone was targeted by a BG because they looked like they might be a CHLer carrying.
I have seen a few people running around where I live and work wearing the 5.11 attire, and while no one else seems to notice, I do. Not that it matters, but still.
I try to blend in. By blending in, when the fit hits the shan, the BG(S) will be less likely to target me. That, I think, gives me the advantage.
I pretty much feel the same as you guys do, it is more your attitude and the way you carry yourself that determines your likeliness of being targeted.
I posted this after a conversation I had with a friend. He felt that if he dressed like a bad a$$ he would be less likely to be attacked.
I countered with the fact that I felt that dressing like that might in some situations make one more likely to be targeted.
I just wanted to see what the other members here thought.

Never thought of it, but I figure as long as you don't wear a shirt like this guy has http://www.semnap.org/conceal_and_carry_main.html and carries a prosecutor won't be able to use that against you.

I never thought about it until recently, but the fact I wear the same "uniform" as my peers, with no signs of being armed, works to my advantage methinks. I think flying under the radar is essential, though of course with anything else it's not without shortcomings.

I wear what I wear. I make no effort to dress in any way that sends a message as to my readiness to handle an attack. When I work, I tend to wear a suit. When I am out with friends I usually wear kahkis and a polo. When I am making a trip to the range I wear kahkis or jeans. 5.11 pants to get worn from time to time. Even when I am dressing more casual for work I may be wearing Bill's Kahkis or 5.11 pants. I see it as a personal choice. It isn't my trying to send a message, just a question of what I choose to wear on a given day. In any event, 99% of the time there will be a GLOCK in .40 S&W on my hip and a Kel-Tec P3AT in my pocket, regardless of what I am wearing.

SESSION TITLE: Infectious Disease Cases II
SESSION TYPE: Affiliate Case Report Slide
PRESENTED ON: Sunday, October 27, 2013 at 01:15 PM - 02:45 PM
INTRODUCTION: Symptomatic bronchogenic cysts typically require surgical resection. Poor surgical candidacy makes management a challenge. We report a case where endobronchial ultrasound guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) was used to assist optimization of the hemodynamic status prior to surgical resection.
CASE PRESENTATION: 53 yo man presented with light-headedness and shortness of breath of 1-week duration. Evaluation revealed that the patient was in atrial fibrillation with a rapid ventricular response (Heart rate 165 and BP 99/73) that remained refractory to medical therapy. Routine blood work was unrevealing. CT chest failed to demonstrate pulmonary embolism. It however revealed a cystic 9.6 x 9.9 cm retro-cardiac mass. Cardiac MRI confirmed mass effect from this lesion on left atrium as well as the pulmonary veins. In light of the tenuous hemodynamic status of the patient, bronchoscopic interrogation prior to a more invasive surgical intervention was planned. Convex probe endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) was used and the mass was confirmed to be cystic. Using EBUS-TBNA, 272 cc of purulent fluid was drained. Despite aggressive drainage, we were unable to completely evacuate the cyst. The procedure resulted in marked improvement in patient's hemodynamic status instantaneously. The patient eventually underwent thoracotomy with surgical resection of the cyst. Surgical pathology confirmed the lesion to be a bronchogenic cyst.
DISCUSSION: Bronchogenic cysts are the most common cystic lesions in the middle mediastinum in adults. Although most are asymptomatic and diagnosed incidentally, literature suggests that majority of these cysts eventually become symptomatic and complications develop if they are left unattended. Traditional management of symptomatic mediastinal cystic lesions consists of surgical resection. Recent years have witnessed an expanding role for EBUS-TBNA for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. EBUS provides excellent delineation between solid and fluid structures as well as better imaging of loculations within cysts. Literature for long- term follow-up for this approach is scant. However, it may represent an extremely useful form of therapy for patients who are poor surgical candidates as was the case here.
CONCLUSIONS: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report where EBUS-TBNA has been used palliatively for symptom control and hemodynamic improvement prior to subjecting the patient to a definitive surgical procedure.

Maiden race horse
A Maiden race horse is the term that refers to a race horse that has yet to win a single race. The races are generally run for younger more inexperienced horses at two and three. However, many maidens never "break their maiden", and will continue to race at later ages, often retiring winless.
Zippy Chippy is among the most famous maidens of all time, going 0 for 100 in his career. Maiden races are not necessarily for less talented horses, just less proven ones. For instance, maiden races at prestigious tracks like Saratoga, Keeneland Race Course, and Santa Anita often contain future stars of the game, as trainers unveil some of their most talented precocious horses. Furthermore, many horse players enjoy maiden races as they allegedly allow for more speculation and esoteric knowledge of racing, since maiden horses often show with few or no previous races to gauge performance.

We all liked the nice new ship the only thing we didn't like was the ship felt overcrowded, if you didn't get a spot on deck early you didn't get one.
All of the shows we saw were great, Magic show, Burn the floor and the comedians were awesome.
If you didn't get the unlimited drink package watch what they are charging you, me and the brother in law did a ship pub crawl and they charged different prices for the same drink from one bar to another on the ship.

The Discussion
I find it amazing that I had to write an add-in to do this in one step. In Office 2003, MS Query was the only game in town for getting data from SQL into a PivotTable. Office 2007 arrives and gives us more options, each one taking six or seven more steps to do the same thing. This would be bad enough, except it creates an ugly, less functional PivotTable.
I'll put the add-in on codeplex later this week and update this post. If anyone wants to see where the future direction of pivot tables lies, take a look at what tableau software is releasing. Hopefully the PM of the pivot table doesn't use Mike Arcuri's playbook and release an uglier and even less functional pivot table in office 2010.

Never Forget
The TARDIS door closed softly behind the Doctor. He took a couple of steps up the ramp before some movement by the console caught his eye. He lifted his heavy head. Right in front of his eyes a blonde figure faded into existence, as if she'd just walked into the Universe. After a final few steps she stopped, keeping her back to him and looking around her as if in disbelief of where she was. "Rose."
She turned to face him. "Doctor." Her face lit up. "It worked." Her smile faded as she took in his appearance, he was soaked to the skin and he looked utterly miserable, haunted even, to the point where she couldn't tell if it was rain or tears on his face.
This was all wrong. She wasn't supposed to be here; she was supposed to find him on a street, not here in the TARDIS. "You can't be here." He was rooted to the spot but glad of it; he didn't trust himself to move without pulling her into his embrace and refusing to ever let go. "You have to keep going, make the jump again." He smiled but it didn't reach his eyes. "Save the Universe, Rose Tyler."
Rose's brow furrowed with a mix of confusion and distress, it took all her self control not to break down, she had come so far and he wanted her to leave. Then she remembered what she was wearing; that purple leather jacket and now she saw what he thought had happened. "He died."
From the look in her eyes he knew exactly who she meant and his hearts wrenched for her. "Oh Rose." His gaze met hers; the pain in his eyes increasing if that was even possible.
She took a few steps towards him. "Hug?" She was hesitant, her voice quiet like she could barely articulate the word; terrified he'd refuse her despite the fact they both needed it.
"I'm not sure I can do this." He ran his fingers through his hair; he had no idea where the self control came from. "Not if I'm just going to lose you again. I've lost you too many times already."
"Listen to what the TARDIS is telling you. I'm not ageing." He stared speechless at her; it was true, he could feel the warm purr in his mind telling him so. "I don't know if it's since Bad Wolf or from a combination of that and crossing the Void, but I'm not ageing."
He closed the gap between them and wrapped her in his embrace. "I'm so sorry." He buried his face in her hair as she pressed hers into his neck. "If I'd known…"
"But you didn't." She cut him off, arms wrapping tighter around him. "Neither did I; no one did." He pulled her closer if that was even possible, mumbling some words that were lost in her hair. "It wasn't your fault."
He choked back the tears, filled with so many emotions that he didn't know what to do with them. Rose Tyler was here, his Rose was in his arms and at least part Time Lord; they could finally have their forever. But then there was Donna, his best friend that could never remember even a second of their adventures together. "She's forgotten."
Rose pulled back just enough so she could see his face, he had tears in his eyes and looked completely devastated. She willing opened her mind to him when his consciousness pushed against hers; his thoughts drifted amongst her own, telling her exactly what he meant. She leant up and kissed his forehead, then held his head against her shoulder. "You'll never forget though."
"I wiped her memory. She can never remember because of me." The words were strained, his throat dry.
"She's alive because of you." Her voice was soft but still she sounded sure of herself.
"You always know just what to say." The Doctor smiled the slightest bit, actually meaning it which was surprising when not so long ago he had doubted he would ever truly smile again. "Oh I've missed you." He squeezed her. "So, so much."
She squeezed back. "Missed you too."
He was silent for a moment. "Don't you mean him?"
Rose's heart wrenched; the fear and doubt in his voice shook her to her very core. Her hands framed his face as she looked him in the eye. "He might have looked like you, had the same memories, and some of the same traits but he was always his own man. He's not you." She leant forward, pressing her forehead up against his. "I'm here now, with you, and I love you." She slipped her hands into his hair and firmly kissed him in the hope of demonstrating exactly how she felt.
"Rose." He breathed against her lips, struck by the sudden realization that he could finally say the words he'd been so terrified of; he wasn't about to lose her from the frailty of being human, this was the forever she'd promised. "I love you." He softly kissed her, just like he'd always wanted to; not to save her life, not to celebrate being alive, but just for the sake of it, because he could and because he loved her. "I am so in love with you, and have been for so, so long. I'm just…" Rose couldn't keep the smile off her face; he could babble about anything once he started, so she leant up and kissed him to make him stop. "Sorry I never said so." He finished, the words barely came out but there was so much regret in his voice.
"Not in so many words, but I knew! Of course I knew!" She leant her forehead back against his. "You showed me every single day! It was in your eyes and your smile and the way you hugged me." She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him close again. "I wanted to hear the words but I always knew." The TARDIS fluttered in their minds making Rose laugh and reminding the Doctor how much he loved that beautiful sound. "I think she's saying that she knew too." She leisurely extracted herself from him, walking over to the console and running her hands over the controls, a huge grin on her face. "Oh she's a clever old girl." The Doctor stepped beside Rose, holding out his hand and wriggling his fingers. She dropped her gaze to his outstretched hand as she took it, fingers curling into place between his. "She must have felt the presence of my key." She fingered her TARDIS key where it hung around her neck and looked up to see him looking back at her. "Felt me searching and pulled me here."
"Right where you're needed." He added, gently squeezing her hand. "You know she loves you, right?" Rose smiled as he ran his other hand through her hair. "Sometimes I think more than me. She doesn't communicate with just anyone, or let them look into her heart the way you did."
"Maybe she just doesn't want either of us to be lonely."
"Maybe." He pulled her close and kissed her temple. "Thank you."

Everyone sees but few look. For most people ,"having a good look" happens only when something interests them. For the small minority who are in permanent "have a good look" mode, everything is interesting. In general, the more you look at something, the more interesting it becomes.
On average we see a thousand advertising messages a day. When we go to bed we might remember one of them. This tells us two things: 1) most advertising is wasted;, and 2) just because we've got our eyes open doesn't mean we're looking.
The song says that you can look but you better not touch. But looking is a way of touching, which is why you can often sense when you're being looked at. Similarly, when you look into some individuals' eyes, it give you a physical jolt, as if you'd been kicked by a small horse.
Many people don't look much because what's happening inside their head is far more interesting. The less they look at the real world, the more unreal their internal world becomes. The level of people's eyes is a good indicator of where their minds are: eyes up, daydreamer; eyes ahead, well-adjusted person; eyes down, introvert or bingo player.
Love is blind but has a great sense of touch. More interesting than love at first sight is love at 74th sight, when someone who was part of your comfortable visual furniture suddenly becomes a thing of incredible beauty. The world would be a much better place if we could see everyone as incredibly beautiful, but that would make falling in love a less intense experience.
Looking at something carefully doesn't mean you can see it properly. That's because everyone wears the distorting glasses of their personality: paranoid people see everything as a conspiracy, greedy people see everything as a potential snack. The rule is, you don't see the world as it is, but as you are.
People see only what they want to see. Being something or someone that no one wants to see is therefore the closest we're likely to get to being invisible. Advanced physicists and philosophers will tell you that things exist only when you look at them. It would therefore be a great experiment if everyone agreed not to look at advanced physicists and philosophers for a while.

My present invention relates to a method of anticipating machine failure, e.g. for cutting off machine operation in anticipation of machine failure, utilizing vibratory, acoustic or body waves which can be picked up from a machine part and which are generated during machine operation, especially for rotary machine parts.
It is known that the body waves, generally in the acoustic or ultrasonic range generated in body parts of a machine, especially a rotating machine or a machine having a rotating element, can be utilized as a signal of a defect in the operation.
It is known, for example, to utilize transducers or pickups responsive to the wave energy in a machine body to measure a first body-wave parameter in a high-frequency range and a second body-wave parameter in a low-frequency range of the frequency spectrum generated upon machine operation and to compare the signals representing the picked up wave components in a comparator.
The comparator may be or can include a computer.
A process of this type is effectively used to monitor vibration in machine parts and, for example, for monitoring the conditions of bearings, transmission and turbine sets.
When the monitoring shows a change from a prior condition, this can represent a failure of the part or some other part associated with the machine.
The change in the oscillatory state or condition to which the device must respond, however, requires comparatively little energy so that the defect may be ascertained even upon startup.
The body-wave parameter which is measured directly or indirectly can be a function of the effective value of the acceleration, can be the first integral of this acceleration, i.e. the oscillation speed or velocity and/or the second integral of this acceleration or the first integral of the oscillation velocity, i.e. the displacement, lateral deflection or path deviation.
The measurements can be taken by appropriate transducers and subjected, with conventional frequency analyzers, to analysis, transformation and various forms of combination.
In one conventional technique (see Olhydraulik und Pneumatik, 1981, P. 568-573), the first body-wave parameter and the second body-wave parameter are measured in the same range of the frequency spectrum and at different times. The first body-wave parameter is measured when the machine and therefore the part to be monitored are newly in operation so that the first body-wave parameter can be constituted a reference value or can generate a reference value which is stored for later use. At a later time, this reference value is compared to the second body-wave parameter or a signal generated thereby or associated therewith and a deviation of the measured value from the reference value can be ascertained as an indication of failure.
It is also possible to utilize two body-wave parameters for this purpose, the first body-wave or reference parameter being measured at one frequency range of the body-wave spectrum while the second is measured at another frequency range. One of these frequency ranges may be a comparatively high frequency while the other frequency range may be a comparatively low frequency.
Since the second measurement of the body-wave parameter is not simultaneous or concurrent with the first or reference parameter, the measurement is not coherent. Coherency, as this term is used herein, refers to the ability to generate correlation relationships by spectral analysis, i.e. correlation between the phases of sperimposed waves generally with random variables arising from stochastic processes. Coherency with respect to waves is related to the tendency to generate interference interactions.
While these earlier techniques have proved to be satisfactory for many purposes, they have the important drawback that the measurements are only pertinent to a specific machine under specific conditions. Neither reference value measurement nor the second measurement at a later point in time can be utilized from one machine to the next even with mass produced or serially built machines which are of similar or identical construction. All of the values and calculations, therefore, must be done utilizng pickups on the respective machines at startup and operation.
The measurements, moreover, do not automatically allow anticipation of a defect state. This is because the frequency spectra are strongly dependent on the operating conditions and hence monitoring under conditions which vary with time is difficult, if not impossible, with conventional techniques.
For example, in a rotating machine which must operate at different speeds not only must measurement be taken to serve as a reference value in each machine of the class, but for each of the range of speeds at which the machine may operate if an accurate evaluation of the development of a defect state is to be ensured.
Accordingly it is the principal object of this invention to provide an improved method of monitoring the operation of a machine, especially a rotating machine, whereby these disadvantages are avoided.
Another object of the invention is to provide a method which will allow anticipation of a failure or defect state independently of any prior determination of reference values for a particular machine and even for an entire class of machines.
It is also an object of this invention to provide a system which allows the method to be carried out.
These objects and others which will become apparent hereinafter are attained in accordance with the invention in a method in which at least one wave pickup (transducer) picks up a first body-wave parameter from a part of an operating machine, preferaby a rotating machine, in a high-frequency range of the body-wave frequency spectrum while the same or another pickup responds to a second body-wave parameter in a low-frequency range of the frequency spectrum and the resulting signals are supplied to a frequency analyzer which generates from the measured value of the first body-wave parameter an auto-spectral density function G11, also referred to as an auto-spectral power density function or auto-power spectrum, while from the measured value of the second body-wave parameter an auto-spectral power density function G22 or auto-power spectrum is generated while from the two measured values of the body-wave parameter, the cross spectral density function G12 is formed, the latter also being referred to as the cross power spectrum.
These spectral density functions G11, G22 and G12 are then supplied to a computer or other unit having an appropriate transfer function so as to form the coherence function γ2, i.e. a transfer function which provides the square of the value G12 and divides that square by the product of the values G11, G22.
According to the invention, the coherence function γ2 as thus measured, e.g. continuously during operation of the machine or at intervals in the life of machine operation is monitored and an increase in the value of γ2 is recognized as an indication of future failure, i.e. represents the anticipated failure of the part.
According to the invention, one can operate directly or indirectly with the coherence function γ2 so that the machine is cut off, for example, when the γ2 measurement at any point in time compared to any prior point in time increases. It is, however, also possible to form the product of the coherence function with the second auto-spectral density function, G22, i.e. the magnitude γ2 G22 and to utilize an increase in this value as the failure anticipation signal which is used to cut off operation of the machine.
It will be understood that, in accordance with the invention the comparison of the high-frequency and low-frequency signals by means of the coherence function must be effected at a given frequency. The high-frequency signal is thus demodulated so that by the demodulation the carrier frequency of the high-frequency signal, for example 200 kHz is suppressed while the low-frequency amplitude modulation remains. The demodulated high-frequency signal is then transformed into a low-frequency signal. The demodulator required for this purpose can be a commercially available demodulator as is used in radio receivers.
The auto-spectral density function and the cross spectral density function can be derived in a manner conventional in random data analysis, for example, as described in Bendat, Piersol Engineering Applications of Correlation and Spectral Analysis, John Wiley & Sons, 1980. Particular reference may be made to pages 50 ff where auto and cross spectral density functions are described, it being understood that one-sided functions are used in accordance with the invention. This work also describes the generation of the functions G11, G22 and G12 so that the means there utilized may be employed here as well.
A surprising result of the present invention is that it is not necessary to determine reference values during the initial run in operations of a machine. Any machine operating in its normal or nondefective state can be monitored and the increase in the value of the coherence function γ2 utilized to signal a future defect. In other words before there is a detrimental change in the value of γ2, there is a correlation between the values as determined by the coherence function and the latter remains constant. When, however, there is an incipient defect, this is reflected in an increased value of γ2 and a more pronounced increase in the value of the product of γ2 with G22 so that this change can be readily detected and utilized as a basis for cutting off machine operation or initiating change of parts, replacement of portions of a machine or repair.
The computer can be a conventional computer of the type utilized for correlation research.
The above and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become more readily apparent from the following description, reference being made to the accompanying drawing, the sole FIGURE of which is a block diagram illustrating an apparatus for carrying out the invention.
In the drawing I have shown a machine 1, usually a rotating machine, capable of generating body waves during the course of operation. The machine may be a turbine, a transmission, a motor, a pump or any other machine which produces periodic vibrations or oscillations which are transmitted through a body part in the form of wave energy. Such wave energy is referred to herein as body waves to distinguish it from waves which are transmitted otherwise than through the solid material forming a machine part.
The first pickup or transducer 2, which may be an acoustic/electrical transducer, such as a piezoelectric transducer, measures a first body-wave parameter in a high-frequency range of the body-wave frequency spectrum.
Another pickup 3 of similar mechanical/electrical type can pick up a second body-wave parameter at the low-frequency range of this body-wave spectrum.
The two measured values are analyzed in a frequency analyzer 6 which can form part of a computer. To this end, the outputs of the transducers 2 and 3 are applied to preamplifiers VV shown at 4 and 5, the latter of which is also provided with a filter represented at F. The respective magnitudes shown at X and Y, vary with time, are fed via amplifiers V and through respective filters which can be narrow-band filters, one of which may be provided with a demodulator D as previously described, to the frequency analyzer. The latter generates the one-sided values G11 of the auto-spectral density function of the high-frequency branch X, the auto-spectral density function G22 of the low frequency branch Y and the cross spectral density function G12 from the product of the two latter values G11 and G22. (See pages 54 and 55 of Engineering Applications of Correlations and Spectral Analysis cited above.)
These values of the respective spectra are applied to a function generator 7 which produces the square of the value G12 and the bottom of the values G11 and G22 to generate the quotient γ2 =G12 2 /G11 ·G22.
As can be seen from the drawing moreover, the machine can be provided with a machine control 8 capable of cutting off machine operation upon anticipation of an impending defect state. The machine cutoff control 8 can be triggered by an increase in the value of γ2. This is achieved by applying the value of γ2 to a memory 9 which records an instantaneous value of γ2 and retains this value for a brief period of time sufficient to enable it to be applied to a comparator 10 together with a current value of γ2. The result of this comparison is a signal applied via line 11 to the machine control 8 representing an increased value of γ2 by comparison to a prior value of γ2 exceeding a certain threshold.
Alternatively, I may form a product γ2 ·G22 in a multiplier 12 and store briefly the output of this multiplier in a memory 13 so that the latter can be compared with a later value of the product in a comparator 14 to trigger the machine control 8 and an alarm 15 representing impending machine failure.

The course was well-paced and packed with content but never seemed rushed. The tutor made sure that everyone in the room understood the information and was engaging and friendly. Its well worth taking the course as you'll learn plenty of commands that will save you time.
I really enjoyed my 3 day autocad level 1 course at TutorCad. Everything was extremely precise and informative on what I needed to know to grasp different aspects of autocad. Ashley is a brilliant tutor he has a great way of teaching - very clear and straight to the point and helpful with any issues or questions that came up. I would highly recommend and I hope to attend again to learn higher levels of autocad in the near future!
TutorCAD provided me with a bespoke day's training as I had used AutoCAD 15 years ago and needed a refresher course. We covered lots of ground and everything was explained clearly to me. We also set up a bespoke template. Excellent training. I will definitely use them again.
We initially choose to book with TutorCAD due to the very reasonable price, as well as the bespoke aspect of the course which meant we could tailor it to match our work area, flood risk. Over the 2 day duration, Rod taught us the basic 2D CAD tools and upon completion we now feel confident applying these to create simple 2D drawings of our upcoming flood projects. Rodney explained the tools and their application very clearly and was continually patient when people fell behind or didn't fully understand something. Following the course, we were sent certificates of completion as well as course notes which are very useful for refreshing what we learnt.
Would like to say thank you for allowing me to attend the course while payment process was being set up I learned a lot from Rod. The Teacher was excellent in the way he explained things and how he got us all interested in the tasks we did at work or as a hobbiest, I was abit unsure being part of a group and not 1-2-1 due to my dyslexia on how I digest things at a slower pace than others but the course was spot on for all levels of speed and experience! Thank you!

Chennai, Apr 19: Chennai Super Kings will miss the services of all-rounder Albie Morkel while a hamstring niggle to skipper MS Dhoni has raised speculations on his participation in the game against Sourav Ganguly-led Pune Warriors at M A Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Thursday.
Morkel, unavailbale for the match against Pune has left for South Africa to attend his close friend Louis Vorster's funeral who was shot dead in Gauteng on Tuesday. The 45-year-old Vorster played domestic first class cricket in South Africa and Namibia.
Morkel had tweeted after hearing the news, "Tonight, I'm crying like a baby. Lost a great friend. RIP Louis Vorster. "
"Albie Morkel has travelled back to South Africa first thing this morning after hearing of the death of a very close friend at Johannesburg overnight," Chennai coach Stephen Fleming said.
"He goes with our best wishes and sympathies. He will take further part in the IPL, but we are not sure when that is. So on behalf of CSK, we extend our sympathies to Albie and obviously look forward to getting him back as soon as we can."
Moreover, a hamstring niggle to skipper MS Dhoni has raised speculations, regarding his participation in today's clash against Ganguly's Warriors, while Fleming
Fleming is not a happy man as Murali Vijay has not fired so far in the tournament, while there are rumours about him being dropped for the clash against Pune, but Fleming has denied and said he would help Vijay regain his form.
"The discussion will certainly revolve around players who have not been doing what they are expected to do. We would like a player to be consistent with his performance. The coach's job is not easy one. It is up to me to take Vijay to his usual form," said Fleming when asked whether Vijay would be replaced by either Abhinav Mukund or Anirudha Srikkanth or Wriddhiman Saha.
"He (Mukund) is pretty much close to hundred percent. He is pretty much into selection discussion. We have good cricketers in the team like Srikkanth and Wridhman Saha and it is a matter of balancing act, which is good for us," said Fleming.
When asked about skipper MS Dhoni's availability, Fleming said, he would be a part of the playing XI as he has got the treatment for a hamstring niggle and should be fine for the clash against Pune Warriors.
"I think Dhoni is fine. He has been having treatment for the hamstring injury sustained in the last game. We expect him to play his full part in the game tomorrow," Fleming asserted.

Update: This post has been updated on March 20, 2017. Scroll down to see the new adds.
So I'm sure a lot of you will absolutely hate Stella McCartney's "Britt" flatforms. Not only because of their polarizing design, but also because Stella McCartney doesn't use animal originated materials for her line yet still charges a whopping $995 for these faux leather brogues. However, I'm also quite positively sure that just as many will loooove Stella McCartney for the very same reasons. While I personally can't picture myself rocking these babies, I do somehow see its androgynous appeal to others – viewed through the man repelling lens, of course. But the price though? Still a total turn-off!

The Humayun's TombWhen visiting North India such as Delhi, it is also recommended to visit Agra and Rajasthan which are consider the golden triangle of India. Any tour package will suggest the same even though they are quite far apart, about 4 hours drive from each other. During our recent trip, we bought the local tour package for 15000 rupees which includes accommodation, a car, toll, petrol, parking charges and a driver for 4 days 3 nights starting from New Delhi and ends in New Delhi as well. As for our 1 day tour around Delhi, it cost us 1000 rupees which exclude entrance fees but includes of petrol and 8 hours tour around the city.
The Lotus TempleIf you are planing to tour the Golden Triangle, I suggest you to pick up only some of the interesting places as entrance fees are quite costly. Perhaps a few photo shoots from the outside is good enough since the tour package are already included. We did the same too. Most tour will include Raj Ghat the cremation site of Mathatma Gandhi, Jama Masjid, Red Fort, Lotus Temple, Qutub Minar, Humayun's Tomb, India Gate, Laxmi Narayan Mandir Temple, President's House, Parliament House and the Government Secretariat's Buildings.
When choosing the tour package, terms and conditions have to be stress out with the agents. Such as taxes, toll, parking charges and to include shopping or not, because normally the driver will try to gain some benefits out from the tourist. As in our case, the driver insist that he brings us to his shopping site instead of our choice of places. I dislike shopping at places which the tour claims to belong to the government as the prices are too much higher from the normal market. These are places that gives commissions to the introducers.
The India Gate
The Laxmi Narayan Mandir Temple
Flea Market at Chandni ChowkAs for shopping, there are many such as Chandni Chowk, Connaught Place, Meena Bazaar and etc. I prefer to shop around our hotel area in Karol Bagh.
Overall I think Delhi has nothing to offer except good curries and shopping especially cotton clothing and camel leather slippers. Where food is concern, beware of it's cleanliness.
