Nondegree and Auditors
Nondegree students are not limited to a fixed set of undergraduate courses and are not affiliated with a study-abroad program.
Since AUC is accredited in both the United States and Egypt, students from U.S. universities are usually able to transfer AUC credits to their home institutions, but please check in advance.
- Nondegree students must submit the same application materials as degree-seeking students.
- Admission to the program is selective.
- Successful applicants must have completed 30 credit hours as indicated in their post-secondary transcripts and must have a satisfactory grade point average (GPA).
- Applicants coming from non-English-language universities must demonstrate competency that places them in or above RHET 1010: Approaches to Critical Writing.
Changing from a Nondegree to Degree-Seeking Student
Upon request, the University may approve a change of status from a nondegree to degree-seeking student. The department of major will consider accepting credit hours for courses taken as a nondegree student.
All academic regulations applicable to degree-seeking students will apply retroactively with such a change of status.
Individuals wishing to attend classes without receiving academic credit are not required to fulfill AUC's admissions requirements.
Auditors should submit an application form, application fee and two passport-size photos.
Admissions decisions are made during the first week of classes each semester and are dependent upon space availability and approval of professors.
Auditors are allowed to attend a maximum of two courses (six credit hours) per semester.
Each year, AUC welcomes study-abroad students from different parts of the globe who come to the University to get a taste of a unique educational experience in Cairo and the Middle East.
AUC is recognized by many U.S. colleges as an approved overseas study site for their students and has formal agreements with many institutions.
Applicants to the study-abroad program must be enrolled in a college or university that has a study-abroad agreement with AUC.
The maximum duration for study abroad is two semesters and a summer session.
Successful applicants must have completed 30 credit hours and must have a satisfactory GPA.
Applicants coming from non-English-language universities must demonstrate competency that places them in or above RHET 110: Approaches to Critical Writing and must have scored a total of 83 (essay 22) in the TOEFL exam or achieved a minimum band score of 6.5 (writing 7) in the IELTS exam.
Study-abroad students may select courses from general undergraduate listings and are not limited to a fixed set of courses.
Since AUC is accredited in the United States as well as in Egypt, students from U.S. universities are usually able to transfer AUC credits to their home institutions. However, study-abroad applicants are advised to plan the selection of courses with their academic advisers or registrars before applying to AUC.
Study-abroad applications must be submitted by the set deadline.
A large number of students from Egypt and from more than 30 other countries normally attend AUC's summer session. While the majority are pursuing degrees at AUC during the academic year, many students who are not regularly enrolled at AUC join the summer session from the second week of June through the third week of July to pursue studies of their own interest. Moreover, the University offers a few accelerated courses during summer sessions. Summer A begins the second week of June, and Summer B begins first week of July; each session lasts for three weeks. Students can choose from a wide range of courses that are usually offered during the AUC summer session. For more information, click here.

Yesterday, President Obama gave a long awaited speech at the National Defense University, chiefly addressing the concerns on the administrations use of drones. The big takeaway from his speech? It's time to end the war on terror. Here is a collection of opinions from around the web about Obama's remarks.
"President Obama's speech on Thursday was the most important statement on counterterrorism policy since the 2001 attacks, a momentous turning point in post-9/11 America," reads the opening statement of the New York Times editorial on the subjet. "For the first time, a president stated clearly and unequivocally that the state of perpetual warfare that began nearly 12 years ago is unsustainable for a democracy and must come to an end in the not-too-distant future."
The Washington Post viewed the speech as a critique of Obama's past four years and the way he managed the war on terror, and what it has become. "The fundamental question with which Mr. Obama wrestled Thursday is the nature of the war — if it is still a war — in which the United States remains engaged."
Commentary's Matt Boot failed to see any meat behind the president's statements, and accuses him of trying to blame the Bush administration while still following its policies more or less. "Better that Obama feign a change of course rather than actually undertake a change of course, because the course established by Bush and continued by Obama has kept us largely, although not entirely, safe since 9/11. Indeed, Obama's welcome and robust defense of drone strikes ('our actions are effective [and] legal') also could have come from his predecessor's mouth.
James Fallows, in The Atlantic, notes that far more important than the presidents statements on curtailing the use of drones in the war on terror and at home is the presidents efforts to deal with the war itself and "to end the 'Authorization for Use of Military Force,' which the Congress passed while the rubble of the World Trade Center and the Pentagon was still smoking and which has been the basis for the wars, detention, killings, and torture carried out in the 11+ years since then."Comment on this story
The Christian Science Monitor's Anna Mulrine notes that potentially one of the biggest and most hoped for statements to come out of the president yesterday was his commitment to moving drone strikes away from the CIA and towards the Department of Defense. "'This is a big deal. It's something that we've been pushing for quite a long time — to have it moved over to the DOD,' says Sarah Holewinski, executive director of the Center for Civilians in Conflict. 'The military is actually quite accountable not only to Congress but also to the American people.'" We are in a war after all, Mulrine notes, and treating it as anything else would be wrong. The same people we trust to run our wars we should trust to run drone strikes.

Challenging the Salaries Review Commission
The 98th report of the Salaries Review Commission has become the subject of a fierce political backlash from both the Government and the Opposition. In a rare show of unity, both sides have arrived at the position that the SRC does not fully understand the role, duties and functions of MPs.
In order to put this debate into context, one must appreciate the initial intention behind the establishment of the Salaries Review Commission.
During the debate on the Constitution (Republic) Bill in March 1976, Prime Minister Dr Eric Williams had this to say: "On the Salaries Review Commission—we believe it is valuable. The best thing that can be done is to avoid the difficulty of negotiating with a lot of people where one will want to maintain a respected and respectable distance without the bitterness that is normally associated with wage and salary negotiations."
Nevertheless, it appears that the SRC has brought upon itself a fair amount of "bitterness" as a consequence of its latest report. That bitterness has to do with the way in which the commission has defined the work of the MP in its report: "For some Members of Parliament, their role is multi-functional in that they bear responsibilities as the elected representatives of a constituency, MPs and members of a political party.

Concur Technologies reported fourth-quarter fiscal 2013 GAAP net loss of $7.5 million or 13 cents per share, falling short of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of earnings of 5 cents per share. In the prior-year quarter, the company had reported a net loss of $8.2 million or 15 cents per share. The company reported pre-tax loss of $7.3 million, compared with a pre-tax loss of $2.7 million in the year-ago quarter.
On a non-GAAP basis, the company's pre-tax income came in at $23.1 million or 39 cents per share, which was almost flat on a year-over-year basis.
Growth in the company's core business primarily drove the non-GAAP earnings. Moreover, Concur signed more than 4,000 new customers in fiscal 2013, an increase of over 40% year over year. The growth was primarily attributable to the company's ongoing "Perfect Trip" initiatives, which led to expansion of several innovative services including TripLink, Concur App Center, and ExpenseIt along with upgradation of its TripIt service. The company also benefited from the recent acquisitions of conTgo, TRX and GDSX, along with a better-than-expected momentum in its federal government business.
Concur reported total revenue of $156.9 million, up 33.1% year over year and 13.1% sequentially, driven by increased transaction volumes and addition of new services for existing customers. Additionally, strong performances from the SMB () market segment and the Enterprise market segment contributed to top-line growth. Revenues beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $152 million by 3.2%.
Income and Expenses
Non-GAAP operating income was $25.6 million compared with $24.6 million in the prior-year quarter. However, margins fell to 16.6% from 20.9% in the prior-year quarter.
Non-GAAP sales and marketing expenses were $53.5 million, up 34.7% year over year from $39.7 million, while general and administration expense was $16.8 million versus $13.6 million in the prior-year quarter.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
Cash and cash equivalents were $301.7 million at the quarter-end, compared with $302.3 million at the end of Sep 30, 2012. The company reported total equity of $818.3 million, compared with $741.1 million at the end of prior-year quarter.
The cash flow from operating activities has declined to $26.3 from $37.0 million in the prior-year quarter.
Along with the earnings release, management provided guidance for the first quarter and for entire fiscal 2014. Revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 are expected to grow approximately 27% year over year.
For the first quarter of 2014, Concur expects non-GAAP pre-tax income per share to be 19 cents. The figure excludes the effects of non-cash related items including stock-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets, and the accretion of the discount on the senior convertible notes. The non-cash accounting implications and cash fees along with expenses of acquisitions and other related activities are also excluded from this figure.
Concur expects revenues for full fiscal 2014 to grow approximately 26% year over year. Fiscal 2014 non-GAAP pretax income per share is expected to be at least 93 cents per share, while non-GAAP operating margin is expected to be in the range of 10%-14%.
Cash flow from operations in fiscal 2014 is expected to be at least $70 million. This figure does not include the tax benefits from share-based compensation and acquisition. Capital expenditures for the year are likely to nudge up and range from 8% to 9% of fiscal 2014 revenues.
Concur currently has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). However, some other companies that can be considered at the moment include Bottomline Technologies (de), Inc. (EPAY - Free Report) ,Manhattan Associates, Inc. (MANH - Free Report) and PROS Holdings, Inc. (PRO - Free Report) . All three carry a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy).

Hehe, I see/feel the opposite.....
I see videos of people taking off (from anywhere) and 90% of them skewing awry and 'leaping' into the air, and I wonder how come so many people do that!? LOL
It is so 'easy' to prevent it. So it leaves me perplexed over how come they don't. (though everyone will go through that same process initially, as it is the way models will take off if NOT controlled so as not do that!)
Surely cause and effect is obvious enough - and easy to test/demonstrate by just doing it all MUCH slower.... and then they would see and say "Oh, it was just that...".
From what I have seen, the fin on most (all?) warbirds is 'big enough'... adequate..... to do the job intended. That is to keep the aircraft aligned when at speed.... and it begins from a reasonably low speed.
Then there is the rudder of course, which works better the faster airflow is, and is somewhat ineffective at initial low speeds - but you have the tail-wheel to cover that short period.
So all in all the tools to go straight are there..... versus the tool to NOT go straight - POWER, motor/propeller torque. Cause... effect....
You can't totally remove the errant source - torque effect - but you can keep it at a low enough level so the fin/rudder can win overall. So whatever lower power level that is, that is what you just have to do.
If you are weaving a bit on tail-wheel use initially, you might need some Expo, or less tail-wheel steering..... or more practice at being sensitive on the stick.
I do (have) seen that issue on some planes I have, and then need to improve that aspect by methods just mentioned above. (the same issue can occur on trike aircraft anyway)
So monitor that initial steering part, and sort that out too. I guess just start VERY slow, VERY low and slow power addition, more as a training to STEER than to take-off. Still take-off at some point after that, however you want, but focus on that initial process so you can work that out first... then move on to the next stage to learn.
That initial steering could be a large part of the following process going astray. Imagine if you are fighting steering issues - tail-wheel, and crossing into rudder even, AND then add more power.... possibly a bit fast.... you have created a complex combination of control needs. Because you didn't get each step done nicely before adding/reaching the next one.
But it is easier to write than do! LOL
Though once you do work out the HOW, and then do that, you will end up just doing it fine and easily eventually.
Definitely keep that power increase rate in check!! Better to be too little than too much, while learning. Then build on the other aspects.... initial up elevator with tail wheel steering, switching (aiming that to be a smooth flow one day) into rudder with no elevator, THEN into SOME more power. And maybe that took 100ft or whatever.... no rush, whatever it takes it takes. Excessive distance will reduce as you get to do all the things closer spaced and more 'overlapped'/complex when experienced.
Hello Everyone!
Yesterday I finished my retract. I changed the stock mechanic to a 514 with oleo legs. I tried it out and I have a little problem... The one of the mechanics stucks in randomly and I don't know why. It is happening with and without the oleo legs and if the oleo legs in and it stucked I have to press the legs a little to come down... I disassembled it and didn't found anything. Someone experienced it too before?
The Perfect Scale Takeoff
Great post! I have to agree, despite my earlier post, that the ideal scale take off will involve very careful increases in power and the application of "just enough" rudder. Also LOTS OF PRACTICE!!! I bet you are very good at achieving these takeoffs and can show the rest of us how to do this.
I have been distracted from my P-47 by work and some personal travel. Am back home now and looking forward to finishing some retrofits of my landing gear (new 514s and new metal struts), plus some fine-tuning of my sound module installation. Hope to have the "Hun Hunter" airborne this next week and get some video to share back with you.
I don't see the end of the shaft because I cut it a little.I think other thing cause this problem because it does if it installed or it is not and it happens too if the 4 screw are in or if there are out. I hope it doesn't faulty because I don't want to wait other 2 weeks to arrive the new one.
BTW I'm from Hungary so sorry about my english but I'm learning it for 3 months.
Peter, how do you find the flight characteristics of this plane versus the Durafly P-51?
I have this P-47 on the way. The biggest warbird I currently own is the Durafly P-51. I was wondering what kind of behavior I should be expecting during takeoff and landings so I don't get caught off guard.
Appreciate your thoughts on this. Thanks
Mike, I have the Starmax P-51 (not a P-47, which I should really have got instead), so most stuff about it is the same as the P-47... but not the flying. The P-47's are generally a nicer flying plane than the P-51.
The Durafly P-51 flying is ok, but a bit 'finnicky' compared to almost all other planes I have... from 1100mm to 1600mm. So if you can fly the Durafly you can fly these EASILY !! LOL
Bigger is 'scarier', but only psychological as you think 'cost of crash'. But in reality they are easier and nicer to fly! So TRY to totally ignore any fears and just fly it as confident as the Durafly. I guess give the Durafly a flight first (if you can fit and take both) to get into the groove, and then make yourself BELIEVE the P-47 is going to be just as easy. hehe
Everything you do to take-off etc is the same. A bit of patience... or at worst, if for some reason you need to, get it in the air quicker.
These days the Durafly feels like a little toy compared to many of my larger planes (1400mm to 1600mm).
Peter, thanks for the reply. That is reassuring to know. Now I'm just looking forward to receive this plane.
I never had a P-47 before as I prefer the looks of the P-51, F4U, BF-109, Spitfires, FW-190... well, a lot of other birds
Good to know that P-47 are easier than P-51.
Last edited by miketre; Oct 30, 2012 at 05:23 AM.
I think the P-47 looks "refreshingly different", than the million P-51's around. LOL.
So if you have the Durafly P-51, one is enough. That was why I regretted not getting the P-47 (which they also had in stock in Aust at the time), and then also the day after I ordered the P-51 the SkyRaider came to the Aust Warehouse and I would have got that instead then!
P-47 and A-1 both that bit different to the more common P-51. BAH.
I will get one of those two eventually.... and I look at those now and then, and it seems the more you do look at some specific other plane/s the more they can grow on you too.
Still sounds like something is jamming.
You can open it and run it.....
First to just let the motor run - removed fromthe gears and the circuit board aside.
Next, with motor in gears again, but keep the trunion out..... so just the motor and worm gear run.
See how that goes for a start.
Hopefully whatever it does, or doesn't do, will give a clue.

My Impulse to Educate and Growing To Understand My Limits
I felt the need to write a bit of a clarification of my previous post because I realized that I didn't quite make one aspect of what I was saying clear. I've been blogging since I was a teenager and having a blog like this really brings me back to the original roots of my online presence. When I was a queer teenage blogger, I would often write in a tone that, of course, was autobiographical, but had a conclusion that portrayed a lesson learned or an acknowledgement of growth. Towards the end of High School and the start of College, I was very invested in "Queer Theory" and as I learned more about it, I wanted to teach the (few) readers that I had about it as well. Ever since I was a bossy little kid with a chalkboard and a pointing stick, I've always enjoyed the idea of being an educator. So sharing and teaching is in my nature. It's my default. People are oftenRead More
Why I'm Done Trying To Solve White Ignorance
Over the past few years, I've become extremely passionate about the subject of racism in America. In large part that is because of going to college and taking Black Studies courses that shocked me to my system. When my father suggested to me as a teenager that I take Black Studies courses in college, I was annoyed by the idea. I was raised in the 90s; a time where every kids television show had a diverse cast of almost every color. I was taught in school that acknowledged race is racist. I learned that specifying or recognizing someone's race is racist and well into adulthood this is what racism meant to me. Then I took a writing course in College that was specifically about lending voices to people of color who were trying to create their own narratives about being a person of color in America. I didn't take the class because I thought the subject was necessary or good. I took the class because I thought it was goingRead More
So, Let's Talk About Stonewall: The Movie
Apparently, reviews of the recent Stonewall movie are rolling in and they're not all that favorable. You can almost feel the shade coming through the screen reading excerpts of these not so favorable reviews. If you haven't already heard about this, the recent film directed by Rolan Emmerich and written by Jon Robin Baitz has come under quite a bit of criticism by the trans community because of it's erasure of the role that trans people and people of color played that evening. When I recently discussed Stonewall with my family, they had absolutely no clue what I was talking about. Mind you, this was something I studied in High School and wrote research papers about. So it's not like the information isn't out there, but the information is certainly not mainstream and quite a bit of it is white washed. I did a series of videos for Everyday Feminism about Stonewall and had to revisit the subject about 10 years after I first did research about theRead More
Hey! So, I figured it was time for me to get a blog that wasn't my tumblr. I have a tendency to start blogs and then totally forget about them. Let's hope that doesn't happen here. My name's Kat and I'm a 25 year old Vlogger from Southern California. I think I'm going to start doing a lot more writing so I'm going to start doing that here! I am a contributor to Pride.com, Everyday Feminism, and The Huffington Post. [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQqGCfa-oEo]

It seems to happen even when FWSO and I haven't had intercourse.
How have you dealt with this situation?
It's interfering with my life and it's annoying.
I have no advice except to second PJ...definitely talk to your doctor
My tolerance for stupid shit is getting less and less.
I edit often to fix stuff ☺
Profoundly grateful Every. Single. Day. that I am blessed with an H with strength, integrity, and compassion, and that he decided to try.
1. Olive oil. This has been used for Centuries as a lubricant for sex, and does amazing things for you skin. It only takes a drop or two.
2. Synthetic lubes are amazing in this day and age. Try out some of these. Wet Platinum is one of my favorites. Some are water based, and wash right off, they tend not to be as long lasting, and certainly don't provide any healing quality after.
Vitamin E comes in suppositories too for this purpose.
You can make your own coconut oil/vitamin E supposititories by mixing coconut oil and drops of vitamin E and then putting a teaspoonful on a plate in the freezer. A little chilly, but solid and easier to get up there than liquid oils.
Blue Poppy makes some chinese herb oils for this purpose too.
Vitamin C is a good idea since it helps to create collagen which make tissues stronger.
Do you eat a lot of sugar? That would make the tearing more likely.
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
I'll try the olive oil/coconut oil before I see the Dr.
Thank you Dr PJ for your input as well.
Previous posters touched upon the exceptional properties.
Best...lube...ever. My BW & I use it exclusively. From a man's perspective, exceptional stuff. From both our perspectives, well, positive TMI to the max applies. She's had micro tearing issue, too.
We've told a few friends and they've thought we're...(coco) nuts!

Modelling the Demand for and Supply of Elective Surgery: A Duopoly Model
In this paper I model the demand for and supply of elective surgery using a modified Hotelling framework in which waiting time, money and distance costs are determinants of the demand for hospital care. Hospitals compete with each other by varying supply and hence their waiting times. I consider both the situation where GPs do not hold a budget (and thus Health Authorities pay for health care), and the situation where they are given budgets to buy care for their patients. Waiting time increases when production of care becomes more expensive, when the benefit obtained from treatment increases, when the unit cost of distance decreases, and when the importance given to the delay by the hospitals decreases. Moreover, the higher the money price (and if greater than the marginal cost of producing hospital care) the lower the waiting time. If the money price paid by GP fundholders is higher than that paid by HAs, fundholding patients pay a lower time price.

Ireland are blown out by a deluge of wet and Windies
For the second successive World Twenty20, Ireland's tournament ended in the rain, but this time they could have no complaints.
In Guyana two years ago, Ireland were on the verge of an upset victory against England, having restricted the eventual champions to 120 for eight, but here in Sri Lanka, they could manage only 129 for six against West Indies in 19 overs. The Windies innings never started in a downpour and their point for the abandoned game was enough to put them through and send Ireland home.
Ireland's total was six more than they totalled in their first match against Australia, in one over fewer, but one suspected not nearly enough to trouble a formidable batting unit among the favourites to succeed England as champions this year — especially as Ireland had to go into the match without their strike bowler.
Boyd Rankin was the one player who failed to recover from a bug which swept through the squad on Sunday and was ruled out just before the toss which William Porterfield lost and he was sent into bat.
It was the nightmare scenario for Porterfield and, embarrassingly for the Ireland skipper, he again failed to survive the first ball.
On Wednesday, it was a short ball from Shane Watson which undid him, this time it was a yorker from Fidel Edwards which ripped through his defence and for the fifth time in 2012, Ed Joyce was walking out to face the second ball of the innings.
Joyce started positively with two fours in his first four balls but there would be only seven more in the next 10 overs and not one in the last eight, although at least they were punctuated by four sixes. The second and fourth wicket stands both added 33 in 32 balls but just when Ireland appeared to be accelerating a wicket would fall, and they were back to square one.
Every batsman got into double figures but not one got past 25; all faced at least 10 balls, not one more than 22. It was consistency but not the type to win a Twenty20 match.
Ireland counterpart William Porterfield bemoaned the stop-start nature of the game and was defiant afterwards, insisting that he would have been happy to defend 140. He also insisted an Ireland win was by no means out of reach, if they had played the remaining 19 overs.
"It was a slower pitch than last week and with pace off the ball it could have suited us. A couple of early wickets could have made it interesting," he contended.
"We have to make starts count but we were just picking up momentum when the first rain came. Joyce and Stirling had just taken 10 off the fifth over and had a good thing going. We were off for 55 minutes and it was hard to go back out and start again. Losing Joycey's wicket straight after the restart didn't help but we were targeting 140 and that would have given us a chance."
The fact that West Indies were able to leave out Dwayne Bravo, however, underlined the strength of their team and it is unlikely that a line-up featuring Gayle, Marlon Samuels, Kieron Pollard and Russell, to name but four, would have been content with 13 boundaries in 19 overs.
But as Porterfield added: "We'll never know."
Now Windies captain Darren Sammy is confident they can despatch England although he played down their chances of winning the tournament.
Sammy said: "This is the Super Eight and they are very important games but we do fancy our chances against England.
"A strong point for us is the belief we have in the dressing room that once we play to our full potential the quality we have we could go all the way. But we have got to take it one game at a time."
Pointing to the team's bowling strength, Sammy singled out Sunil Narine and believes he could be pivotal against England.
He said: "I think that will be the first time England will be playing him when the wicket offers him some assistance. He can be a handful so we'll look and see what happens."

Photographer's Note
At the junction of the East and West civilisations, Nemrut Dagi (Mount Nemrut) is one of the most astounding sites in Turkey: A collection of colossal statues on a remote mountain 2150m high, adorning the temple and tomb of King Antiochus. Unknown until 1881 when an Ottoman geologist discovered these 10 metre-high stone heads, archaeological work began in 1953 to uncover their history.
Nemrut Dağı has since been a significant attraction, with thousands coming at sunrise and sunset to see the stones in the best possible light. It has been designated a World Cultural Heritage site by UNESCO, and is one of the most important National Parks in the country. In addition to the statues, the entire site includes art from the Commagene civilisation, the Eskikale (Old Castle), Yenikale (New Castle), Karakus Hill and Cendere Bridge. Most people use the nearby towns of Malatya, Kahta or Adıyaman as a base, and the road to the summit is only open from mid-April to mid-October because of heavy snow the rest of the year.

Bonjour Ugur,
il a fallu monter très haut pour voir de tels vestiges mais le déplacement en vaut la peine.
Dommage que tu sois presque en contre jour, tu as photographié les faces dans l'ombre.
On admire les montagnes superbes derrière en même temps.
Bien vu.

Hi Ugur! These are 10 meters tall? and at the top of a mountain? Amazing! I'd really like to see somebody in the photo, so I can get a better idea how high these statues are! Great shot, we can feel the high altitude in your photo! Very good composition! rgds.

Merhaba Ugur,
This are very great statues, ten meters is very high and in stone!
Also the red/brown colour in foreground gives a good contrast against the light sky colour.
Very well done!
cjmm (4479) 2006-05-04 17:53
Merhaba Ugur,
The ruins on the foreground are interesting and well exposed, with good contrast, sharpness and details; (great scanning!)... but I specially like the background, the different shades on the hills and the sky.
Best regards,

Hi Ugur,
What an astounding scene! There is a great sense of depth here as well from your well chosen POV. The mountains fade into the distance and create the impression of a mysterious wild region. I like the misty look and the foreground colours. Very well captured.

Mechanical Devices for Urinary Incontinence in Women
Treatment Overview
Mechanical devices may be used to manage different types of urinary incontinence.
For stress incontinence:
What To Expect After Treatment
This section is not applicable to this treatment.
Why It Is Done
Mechanical devices can be used to control stress and mixed urinary incontinence. Because they are inexpensive and have few risks, they are usually tried before surgery, along with other treatments like pelvic floor (Kegel) exercises. Some women who have incontinence but who don't want or can't have surgery may find that mechanical devices work well enough to control their incontinence.
How Well It Works
There is no strong evidence that these devices work to control incontinence. But they are inexpensive and don't have a lot of risks. If they don't work for you, you can always try other things like pelvic floor exercises or surgery.
Using a urethral insert increases the risk of:
Using pessaries increases the risk of damaging the:
What To Think About
Use of mechanical devices is under your control and can be designed to fit into your lifestyle.
For some women, a tampon inserted in the vagina creates enough pressure to prevent leaking. Tampons are a less expensive option than a pessary, with little risk.

text: Made this for Christmas dinner and WOW! Definitely the best one I have ever made. The whole family was just about silent for the first ten minutes enjoying this meal. The sauce alone was just transcendent. I would really recommend this for any special occasion. My only issue with this dish is how to carve the dang thing and have it look remotely coherent. The pastry always seems to go one way and the meat another. I would also say that it really helps to follow their timeline and spread the work over three days.

A low start can lead to a deluxe achievement. Any time you begin a business, take advantage of the knowledge you obtained via your schooling, education, or perhaps your job experience. Following is generally a advised suggestions from success mentors: set your brain towards developing products and services.For example,iPhone or iPad APPs,that are getting more and more popular with young business man.
To put it differently, pay attention to the ventures just like you are having fun with them. Keep in mind, many people frequently attain the hardest challenges if they are on target. Being on target is capable of turning even a home-based business right into a billion amount of money business or possibly a worldwide business which develops their franchise international. One more thing, getting enthusiastic along with favourable is necessary.
You cannot succeed if you ever won't be able to appreciate the things you are doing.Obviously,Apple Inc has brought an great opportunity to most home-based business men.

I love Carson's attitude. He knows he's not the most coordinated person in the world, but he doesn't get upset about it--he just says he understands that means he's going to have to put in extra time.
I don't think Carson was significantly worse than some of the other dancers so far, so why are they ragging on him? At least he kept moving, unlike Rob, who looked fairly sluggish at times.
18--guess I'm going to have to make some phone calls tonight.

This is the records summary for Aug. 11.
Couple unharmed in gang-related shooting
WILLMAR -- A Willmar couple escaped injury early Friday morning when multiple rounds from a gun were fired at their home in the Regency West Trailer Park.
Police are describing the incident as gang-related.
According to the initial police report, the tenant and his wife were inside the home when the shots were fired at around 3:10 a.m. Friday.
Three children who live in the house were not home at the time of the shooting.
Suspects face charges of second-degree assault with a dangerous weapon and disorderly conduct.
WILLMAR -- Willmar police are investigating a report of an assault after a man said he was hit over the head and pushed out of a vehicle early Friday morning.
According to the initial police report, a 26-year-old Willmar man said he was in a vehicle on his way home from a Spicer bar when he was assaulted and pushed out of the vehicle at the intersection of 15th Avenue Northwest and First Street around 2:30 a.m. Friday.
The victim, who suffered from a large gash on top of his head and a possible dislocated shoulder, injured knee and sprained ankle, was not willing to tell police who, what, where, why or how the incident occurred.
He was transported to Rice Memorial Hospital by Willmar Ambulance.

* Cristian Arrellano Vergara, 18, of Willmar, made his first appearance Friday on second- and fifth-degree drug sale charges for allegedly arranging the sale of methamphetamine and marijuana to a CEE-VI Drug Task Force informant Thursday.
Unconditional bail was set at $20,000. His next appearance is Aug. 20.
According to the complaint, the controlled buy was set up for 3.5 grams of meth and an ounce of marijuana and was supposed to happen in the Willow Run apartments in southwest Willmar.
The informant met a man, identified as Vergara, outside of the apartment complex and then both men went inside a building. The informant told agents that Vergara told him to wait in the hallway while he went to get the drugs from his supplier, who did not want the informant to know who he was. The informant gave Vergara $450 to purchase the drugs.
Other agents who were monitoring the buy saw Vergara exit another door of the building and run into a parking lot. He was caught and arrested.
Vergara was interviewed and allegedly admitted that he set up the sale so he could steal money.

The New and Improved Hey Gorgeous Events!
I've started and restarted this post for months now. It's so hard to express all I'm feeling in this moment. Could you imagine trying to write a speech to win an Oscar or an Emmy? I mean that's a little more serious than this I'm sure but either way, I'm just sitting here completely speechless today after all that's happened throughout this process. The support and encouragement and love from family, friends, followers, strangers, clients both past and present, has been remarkable. I feel like I've changed for the better. Hey Gorgeous has changed for the better. And I get to share it all here with you! So let's start with this:
I have a logo. Oh lawdy it's a lovely thing to have isn't it? I owe serious props to the incredible Molly Jacques for drawing up both the hand lettering and Bevy after so many of my picky requests for revisions. I've been putting that logo everywhere from cell phone cases to client bags and buttons. It's so wonderful and gorgeous. And the color palette and selected fonts infused into my brand board were put together (in combination with my gorgeous new collateral which you can read about over here!) by Emily Ley through Making Brands Happen. It's so truly me. It's just gorgeous and wonderful and lovely.
How about a little before and after shall we? Here's my old BluDoman website. Let me mention that this site served its purpose for two years and really was quite functional, user-friendly and affordable when I first started out. But it lacked the little bit of spunk I was looking for and din't properly portray who I am. And my clients need to know who I am because we spend an impressive amount of time together. So I told Lara and Emily, and of course Cathy Olson of Love Inspired to throw Kate Spade and Jose Villa in a blender and make me a Hey Gorg milkshake. Ha! No really though. That's what I was craving.
And I got this.
Guys, I shrieked. This is just incredible. I have a place that's all ME now. My heart, my passions, my quirky side, my genuine side, ALL sides. Isn't she pretty?
I owe so much to so many people.
To Lara and Emily and Cathy and Molly. You have all been so honest and patient with me. You've been encouraging and supportive and have said the right things at the right time. I've been inspired and am hopeful and excited for what's ahead of me and Hey Gorgeous. I read a quote through the Making Things Happen Tumblr last year, you know the one that says, 'A year from now you will have wished you had started today?' I never want to regret going after what fire me up in life. Life's too short to play small. You've epitomized this little piece of logic for me. Thank you giving me so many valuable tools to succeed. For being friends. I love you guys.
To everyone who came to the relaunch party last night, I'm such a lucky girl. Your cards and words of encouragement are so special. I loved watching everyone mingle and laugh amongst one another. I loved still having people in my house at 11:45 pm when I was sure everyone would leave at 8:30 pm. I love how many bottles of wine you brought as gifts. No, really. Thank you.
To the friends I have made in the industry and through blogging, who have taken photos of me, my work, my home, my husband and I, to the friends who live in different time zones than me but still take my calls at 6:00 am because I need an opinion on something trivial. To Kelly, Beth, Paul and Vanessa, Leah, Naomi, Shalyn, Michaela, Nicole, Tonya, Kristen, Elise, Alex, Victoria, Cyn oh and the list goes on. I can't even begin to describe how much you all mean to me. It can get lonely when all of your friends seemingly live so far away. But you've all managed to make me feel like you're close by. I'm thankful for you and all you do for me.
To everyone who reads this blog, who sends me tweets no matter how irrelevant the ones I tweet are, who comments on my facebook posts and photos, who tuned in via Ustream last night and left notes, who have sent letters, emails, texts, presents, and the list goes on. I am so humbled. I'm not sure what I did to deserve this but I feel so lucky. Thank you for taking time out of your busy day to let me know you care.
To my sweet Mom, my Mother in Law, Pat, my husband and family. I love you guys so stinkin' much. Through this I've really understood the value of focusing on what truly matters. You guys matter. You don't care what kind of desserts I served last night, you definitely thought the old website was good enough and you probably are still confused on what this rebrand really entailed. But that's exactly what I needed from you. I just needed pure love and support of the unknown. Andrew you've been such a rock. You've been so loving to me regardless of my behaviour. Mom, I miss you so much and wish you could have been here last night. Your sweet emails have kept me going. They've kept me feeling proud. Pat, you're like the energizer bunny. Thank you for driving me around yesterday with oversized mylar balloons stuffed in your SUV, and then cleaning up everything last night while I sat back and put my feet up. I don't deserve such love from you all.
Have you ever had a happy cry? I totally just had one. Welcome to the new Hey Gorgeous.

Hi Rhi! I just started following your blog a couple of weeks ago. And then there was the night I read every one of your rebranding posts. I love your new site, and I fully intend on being a loyal reader for the long run. Congrats on today, last night, and all I am sure you will accomplish with your new brand. Enjoy!

Hey sweet…wow I am just trying to take all of this in. Such a range of branding here Rhi – it's just awesome really. Look how far you've come!! I think back to emails we shared about planning businesses and making the best of life (remember the 5 step plan?!) and now see…you've arrived! You were born for this – as you say – 'you live for the pretty' and that was evident since the moment I stumbled across your blog.
I love the logo – I love the way you feature in everything. The whole experience is fabulous and frankly: it makes me want to get wed all over again! But I have said that before haven't I? What a triumph – no wonder you are thrilled. Well done you. Lou x
Oh man, it's beautiful!!! Love everything about this! It was so much fun to tune in last night via u-stream and catch just a small glimpse into the party! Congratulations on everything, job well done!

I mean this is going to sound strange (but might not surprise you) but I just had a little tiny happy cry too!! You've made what matters happen & will keep making what matters happen & will remind people that it's important for them to do the same–especially on the biggest day of their life! It's so amazing to see all the labor & glitter & hard work & heart & soul completely come to fruition in this BEAUTIFUL new site–everything is divine!! Hip hip hooray!! Congratulations!
Oh my goodness! Thousands of miles a bunch of emails… we may never have met in person, but I may or may not have just 'happy welled up' reading this on the tram into work and if I was right there beside you I would have given you this biggest hug ever! Truly, you are just amazing and this rebrand journey (or the whole dang she-bang actually) that you've shared with us all has been so lovely to watch from afar and I love that you've never lost your voice amongst all that fun, hard work, love and sparkle. Oh and I've just spent my first 20minutes at work scouring through your new site and I'm in love with it. Kate Spade + Jose Villa + A little sparkle I think ;)
Congratulations gorgeous Rhi.
With love and hugs from Oz. Jas xx

I'm so proud of you Rhi! Everything is gorgeous and so you. I know I've told you often on this past year, you are I inspiring to me and I'm sure is many others. You had that quality about you that makes me wish you lived right around the corner so we could hang out and chat and be friends. It's strange how you could have that effect biting it just that everything you're doing is so special and you've managed to really hit home for me on so many different levels. Keep up the amazing work; I will always be one of your truest and biggest fans. xxxxxxx

The website and new look are just stunning! I've been following your blog for over two years now. As an aspiring wedding planner and a freshly engaged lady, I'm regularly loving your ideas, design, and all-around amazing attitude. You are down to earth and relatable and amazing at your job. As a fellow southern Ontarian, it's an inspiration to read your blog and watch you grow! Congratulations!
Oh my goodness look at your BEAUTIFUL blog!!! I'm still catching up from the wedding but I can't believe I missed this. Absolutely perfect. More than perfect! Congratulations!!
GORGEOUS!!! You guys did an amazing job!
Congratulations to you! Your new brand is so beautiful! So happy for you and can't wait to follow along in 2013. (:
The NEW Hey Gorgeous Events and you are as stunning as every…LOVE it!!! <3 Congratulations on all the success, I just know that 2013 will be just as magical! :)
You are sooooooo precious!!! Crossed your path thru the crazy worldwide web… Via Lara Casey , MBH… Was instantly attracted to your style, your journey, your authenticity and your heart! My journey is similar though starting wayyyyyyyy later in life! God's timing is perfect! Just wanted to say YOU have been an inspiration to me as I am braving to go full tilt into the wedding world ( after several weddings and 2 bridal shows) and now 3 more already booked for 2013! I also had a negative experience (amazing how "that" can have so much "power" huh???) Anyway, just thought you should know that you are inspiring a latecomer, middle aged, empty nester ( but with the heart & drive of a 20 something! Lol)
Can't wait to see what 2013 brings you sweet girl!!!! Xoxo
You certainly don't need me to tell you this, but wow….you've have made it! This is what success and passion feels like. Embrace it! You totally deserve this! Watching your video…wow….passion radiates from your words, your smile and your amazing work. Congrats Rhi! I truly don't believe anyone deserves it more!
Congrats! Been a longtime reader (since before you were married) and I've so enjoyed watching and reading about your journey in your business. SO happy and proud for you! Great re-brand, beautiful webpage & you absolutely love what you do as can be seen in the video. Congrats again! xoxo


text: The one I have is from lowes. The only reason I bought it is because I figured why but something expensive if I am going to buy a plow soon so I went cheap. It does its job but I would not recommend it. Im not sure how long it is going to last. I would stick with another Airens just get one that is more powerful. The spreader is a lawncrafter or something. I got it at a yard sale for $5 and its only use is for sidewalks. Eventually I want to get a Lesco I just saw one last night at a Trade Show I was at and there pretty nice.

The first time the audience sees Texas congressman Charlie Wilson (Tom Hanks) in the early 1980s, he seems far from a model politician. Surrounded by strippers, a Playboy Playmate, and cocaine, the naked congressman lies in a hot tub at a party. Despite the distractions, the TV news catches Charlie's attention as Dan Rather reports from a war-torn Afghanistan. As Soviets invade the country, the Afghans lack the money and technology to defend themselves. Enter Joanne Herring (Julia Roberts), a wealthy Texan who champions the cause of Afghanistan and, by extension in the Cold War, America. Together with CIA Agent Gust Avrakotos (Philip Seymour Hoffman), Charlie begins a secret war where he must unite Israel, Pakistan, Egypt, and America to defeat the Soviets.
