"The War Comes Home": Deadly Fort Hood Shooting Raises Questions About Treatment of Returning Vets
We begin today's show at Fort Hood, Texas, where flags are flying at half-mast following Wednesday's shooting that left four dead, including the gunman. Sixteen people were wounded in the attack. Authorities identified the shooter as 34-year-old Army Specialist Ivan Lopez, who was being evaluated for post-traumatic stress disorder. Lopez served in Iraq, but officials say he never saw combat. We speak with two Iraq War veterans: Ryan Holleran and Malachi Muncy, manager of the Under the Hood Café, a GI coffee shop near Fort Hood. Both are members of Iraq Veterans Against the War. "I had trouble getting help when I came back from Iraq, as well, when I was at Fort Hood. The access to healthcare is limited — it is available, but it's not necessarily accessible," Holleran explains. "The amount of stigma associated with seeking any kind of mental health, it makes it extremely challenging to try to take care of ourselves." We also talk to Aaron Glantz, who covers veterans and domestic military issues for The Center for Investigative Reporting. His most recent book is "The War Comes Home: Washington's Battle Against America's Veterans."
Drugging America's Veterans: Painkiller Abuse Spreads as VA Becomes Vets' "Drug Dealer of Choice"
We look at challenges faced by U.S. soldiers who served in Iraq and Afghanistan with investigative reporter Aaron Glantz, who has spent more than a decade covering the Iraq War and the treatment veterans receive when they come home. This week, The Center for Investigative Reporting won a prestigious Peabody Award for his report that exposes how the Department of Veterans Affairs has become the drug dealer of choice for many veterans who are now addicted to prescription painkillers, which were prescribed to treat a myriad of mental health and other physical injuries. According to the investigation, VA prescriptions for four opiates — hydrocodone, oxycodone, methadone and morphine — have surged by 270 percent in the past 12 years.
Is USAID the New CIA? Agency Secretly Built Cuban Twitter Program to Fuel Anti-Castro Protests
"U.S. Secretly Created 'Cuban Twitter' to Stir Unrest." That is the name of an explosive new article by the Associated Press detailing how the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) created a fake Twitter program to undermine the Cuban government. The communications network was called "ZunZuneo" — slang for a Cuban hummingbird's tweet. It was reportedly built with secret shell companies financed through foreign banks. According to AP, the United States planned to use the platform to spread political content that might trigger a Cuban Spring, or, as one USAID document put it, "renegotiate the balance of power between the state and society." We speak to Peter Kornbluh, director of the Cuba Documentation Project at the National Security Archive. He recently wrote an article in Foreign Policy called "Our Man in Havana: Was USAID Planning to Overthrow Castro?"

Comments about Almond Soothing Facial Oil-1.7 oz:
I got this oil as a gift and didn't want to use it in my face as I have oily skin in my face and dry on my body so it sat in my cabinet until I got pregnant. I started doing research on how to prevent stretch marks and found that almond oil is excellent for this.
I massaged the Weleda almond facial oil on my growing belly every night before bedtime. It relieved all the itching and irritation from the stretching of my growing belly and left my skin smooth and soft. I delivered my baby recently and I have no stretch marks!!
Love, love, love this oil and will definitely use again for future pregnancies. This might be a great gift for future moms.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

An MOS integrated silicon-diaphragm pressure sensor has been developed. It contains two piezoresistors in a half-bridge circuit, and a new simple signal-conditioning circuit with a single NMOS operational amplifier. The negative temperature coefficient of the pressure sensitivity at the half-bridge is compensated for by a positive coefficient of the variable-gain amplifier with a temperature-sensitive integrated feedback resistor. The sensor was fabricated using the standard IC process, except for the thin diaphragm formation using the N

Blowback: Vijay Prashad on How Islamic State Grew Out of U.S Invasion of Iraq, Destruction of Nation
Militants from Islamic State stormed an air base in northeast Syria on Sunday, capturing it from government forces. Fighters from Islamic State have seized three Syrian military bases in the area in recent weeks. This comes as the Pentagon considers expanding its airstrikes against Islamic State in Iraq to include targets inside Syria. Meanwhile, another journalist who had been kidnapped in Syria, Peter Theo Curtis, has been freed after two years in captivity by the Nusra Front — another militant group in Syria. Calls have been growing for the United States to attack Syria since Islamic State posted video showing the kidnapped American journalist James Foley being beheaded. Foley was captured in Syria in 2012. Meanwhile in Iraq, officials say suicide bomber targeted a Shiite mosque in Baghdad today, killing at least 12 people. We speak to Vijay Prashad, professor of international studies at Trinity College. He is the author of several books, including "Arab Spring, Libyan Winter" and, most recently, "The Poorer Nations: A Possible History of the Global South."
"I Can't Breathe": NYC March over Chokehold Death of Eric Garner Protests Police Violence Nationwide
On Saturday, thousands marched in Staten Island, New York, to protest the death of Eric Garner, who died on July 17 after police placed him in a chokehold and then pinned him to the ground. At the march, demonstrators chanted "I can't breathe!" referring to the 11 times Eric Garner said that as he was held down by New York City Police Department officers. Many have called for the officers in the case to be brought to justice. The death of the 43-year-old African-American father of six has sparked a larger national debate about the NYPD's use of excessive force and its policy of cracking down on low-level offenses. It also comes as demonstrations have erupted nationwide over other police killings of unarmed men. The protesters in Staten Island chanted "Hands up, don't shoot!" in solidarity with the people of Ferguson, Missouri, who are protesting the fatal police shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown. "We need to show the community that these police officers need to be disciplined and they need to be sentenced, for all that they caused," says 12-year-old Imani Morrias. "They caused so much pain."
Hip-Hop Voices Talib Kweli & Rosa Clemente in Ferguson, "Ground Zero" for Police Brutality Struggle
Mourners are gathering in St. Louis today for the funeral of Michael Brown, the unarmed African-American teenager killed by a white police officer on August 9. His father, Michael Brown Sr., has requested a day of silence and peace after two weeks of nightly protests in Ferguson over the police killing of his 18-year-old son. We turn now to two well-known voices from the hip-hop community who have joined the protests in Ferguson. Talib Kweli is a world renowned hip-hop artist. Rosa Clemente is a longtime activist and former director of the Hip Hop Caucus. In 2008, she was the Green Party's vice-presidential nominee. "The fact that he's someone who could be my son, fact that he's someone who could be me," Kweli said, "fact that he's someone who I relate to on a lot of levels, being a black man and my experience in America, it just really touched me in a way that the news stories couldn't capture."

Navigating the forum
I'm asking this here because there doesn't seem to be a place to ask, or even to look it up. Some of you know this forum pretty well, so maybe you can help.
1. How do I edit a post?
2. How can I find all my posts, or all any user's posts?
Thanks for any help, guys.
Brilliant! Worked like a charm! You're a genius. I've no idea how you figured that out. I'd have been at it eons before I got it right. Thank you!
Don't know how long it would've taken me to see that little "edit" link either. So glad you spotted it.
Thanks LilBit! :-D
To find my own older posts,i just go to the top right,under where it says welcome*** and put my name as i use it here on this forum into that Search box,and click on search.It brings up everything i posted here.You can do this at each of the forums.
Its an outdated messaging board/forum, needs serious upgrading. Its hard to navigate and not really that friendly. Im hoping someday this will look like CactiGuide.com. Thats an actual forum and looks like all other forums online. By definition this might be a forum but hardly looks like one.
'Thats (sic) an actual forum and looks like all other forums online. By definition.....'
That's patently untrue - I frequent a number of forums and this one ain't half-bad, particularly since it's free.
You have expressed similar thoughts about what this forum should be before.
Maybe you'd be happier elsewhere.
kwie2011, yes, it is what ever the owner/s want. I mean, I would atleast like to have a quote feature, attach image feature and Ive been told that [img] feature will be implemented soon, if memory serves me right. It is what it is I guess.
cactusmcharris it might not be bad but its the least user friendly forum Ive been to. Ive been foruming for over 7 years atleast and Im kind of surprised to find one like this at this day and age. Im not going to just quit due to outdated design/features.
Its also too bad the succulent and cacti crowed isnt big, I see alot of forums but majority are either dead or have only a few people on.
Maybe this forum might not seem user-friendly to some, but all I care about is that the users are friendly, and answer queries and admire people's plants - I am a long-time fan of Garden Web and in particular of Cacti & Succulents and House Plants and love coming here - we have no website like this in Ireland, old-fashioned though you might think it, and I always look forward to coming here when I get the chance. And if it hadn't been for GW we wouldn't have found our heirloom busy lizzie, which we did thanks to Flora from the UK. Plus I learned about hoyas here, and ceropegias, and sought them out. Three boxes of baby astrophytums testify to my discovery of cacti on this very forum. Thanks, all !
Probably nobody will read this, and I don't remember where I was when a little note and arrow pointed to "CLIPPINGS" in the upper right-hand corner and said, "See how to use Clippings to keep track of all your posts." It's probably a good idea if you post a lot, and want to check your older posts. That way you don't have to sift through dozens and dozens of your newer posts looking for a specific older post.

The Blackstone Group agreed to purchase the Willis Tower, formerly known as the Sears Tower, in Chicago for $1.3 billion from Joseph Chetrit, Joseph Moinian and American Landmark Properties. The deal marks the highest-ever price paid for a U.S. office tower outside of New York City. [more]

UPDATED, 12:12 p.m., Feb. 17: Barry Sternlicht's Starwood Capital Group sold its remaining 49.9 percent stake in Central Park South's Hilton Garden Inn to Morad Ghadamian, a Lenox Hill-based investor and carpet importer, The Real Deal has learned. The deal was struck just over a year after the 401-key hotel opened its doors, and values the property at $240 million. [more]
The industry's leading lights came together last week to honor The Real Deal's Amir Korangy for his commitment to supporting families of seriously ill children. Korangy received the Child's Champion Award from the Ronald McDonald House New York, which provides housing and support services for pediatric cancer patients and their families. [more]

Murray Hill Properties is in contract to buy 180 Maiden Lane.
SL Green and Joseph Moinian are reportedly unloading the 1.2 million-square-foot tower, which is only sparsely occupied. While the agreed-upon price is still unclear, sources told the New York Post that it breaks down to just below $450 per square foot. [more]
Construction is now moving along swiftly at Joseph Moinian's 605 West 42nd Street. The long-stalled residential development, previously known as Atelier 2, switched from condominiums to rentals earlier this year, as The Real Deal reported. [more]
Developer Joseph Moinian is planning to combine the top two residential floors of the W New York Downtown Hotel and Residences into one 12,000-square-foot duplex penthouse priced at $40 million, the New York Times reported.
By pooling 12 units on the 55th and 56th floors of the hotel at 123 Washington Street, he hopes to capitalize on the trophy apartment trend. The home comes with a $2 million credit toward construction and design. Moinian intends for this to help with marketing and selling the remaining 80 units in the building, the Times said. [more]
The Atelier is getting two more celebrity residents. Brooklyn Nets powerhouse Jerry Stackhouse and Broadway star Deborah Cox are the newest boldface names to sign leases at the Moinian Group-developed condominium building at 635 West 42nd Street between Eleventh and Twelfth avenues, a source with knowledge of the deals told The Real Deal. [more]
Joseph Moinian's plans for a mammoth residential tower at 605 West 42nd Street are officially back in play. The developer filed a new application for the site today with the city's Department of Buildings which calls for a 61-story, 656-foot tall rental tower with more than 1,100 units.
Moinian had first earmarked the 1.1 million-square-foot site, located adjacent to the Moinian Group-developed Atelier condominium tower, for a residential tower in 2007. The recession stymied progress at the site, but the new plans signal that construction may shortly begin again in earnest. [more]
A report card commissioned by a new union advocacy organization that gave the Moinian Group's operations an "F" has several flaws and seems to unsystematically target the developer for its penchant for hiring nonunion workers. In its report, Build up NYC, a coalition of labor groups including 32BJ SEIU, the Hotel Trades Union, and the Building and Construction Trades Council of Greater New York, excoriated the Moinian Group for a laundry list of alleged failings at its buildings, as well as a poor record of worker relations. … [more]
New renderings are out today of developer Joseph Moinian's forthcoming 1.7 million-square-foot tower near Hundson Yards, the New York Post reported. The 1,000-foot tower is designed by Dan Kaplan of FXFOWLE and will twist from its base to catch the sunlight. "It has a subtle, elegant spin and only rotates the 22 degrees as you go up," Kaplan, said. "It's enough to give it a distinctive form, but not so much that it contorts the building." [more]
From the November issue: 6:00 to 6:30 a.m. I wake up between 6:00 and 6:30. I check the New York Post. If there are headlines that I like, I will read the full version later on my iPad in my car. I also like to watch international news when I'm getting ready, like the BBC and Al Jazeera.

Even as more retailers appear to be downsizing, Joseph Moinian is working to combine 84,000 square feet of retail space on a full Fifth Avenue block. The New York Post reported that the Moinian Group head is unifying the retail space in the ground floor of the office building at 535-545 Fifth Avenue, between East 44th and East 45th streets. [more]
A $140 million loan on developers Joseph Sitt and Joseph Moinian's 245 Fifth Avenue has been transferred into special servicing because of default concerns, according to data provided to The Real Deal by analytics firm Trepp.
While the developers are still current on their loan, a default may be imminent, the data indicates. The transfer happened March 5, according to Trepp's records. [more]
Developer Joseph Moinian and partner Starwood Capital Group paid $6.125 million to the Shubert Organization for 25,000 square feet of air rights that will be used for the development of a hotel at 237 West 54th Street, a source familiar with the deal said. [more]
The sluggish sales pace has picked up at the condominium units in Joseph Moinian's W New York Downtown hotel thanks to a new marketing focus on fully-furnished units led by Louise Sunshine, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Interest in the building was high when a sales effort was launched before it was built in 2007, but the prospective buyers vanished when the recession hit. When the 57-story building's 22 lowest floors opened as a 217-room hotel in 2010 the building, at 123 Washington Street, had its first sale. By the fall of 2011, though, just 15 of the 223 for-sale units had closed, in part because of a controversial Interstate Land Sales Full Disclosure Act lawsuit. [more]
A William Street New School accommodation facility is one of five New York City addresses making its debut on Trepp's list of distressed properties in November, according to data from the real estate analytics firm.
New to the 56-item list of distressed properties is Metro Loft Management's 111,000-square-foot, 17-story building at 84 William Street, currently being used as a student housing facility for attendees of the New School, according to the university's website. The company is non-performing on a loan beyond maturity, with a balance of $28.9 million, after being current in October, the data shows. (note: correction appended) – Katherine Clarke … [more]
From left: Joseph Moinian and a rendering of 605 West 42nd StreetMoinian Group head Joseph Moinian is putting a 1.1 million-square-foot development site in Midtown West on the market, the New York Post reported. The developer wants to find financing for a $750 million, 65-story rental apartment tower designed by Costas Kondylis on the site, located at 605 West 42nd Street near 11th Avenue. However, Moinian admitted that while he'd prefer to find financing and develop the tower himself, he is leaving the options open for a sale.
"When you market something, you have to leave the door open for anything that could be beneficial to the project, including selling it," he said. … [more]

I am using QTMovie with QTMovieOpenForPlaybackAttribute:YES, and using a QTMovieView to display it. I need to calculate the framerate it is achieving.
One way I can think of doing this is to have a callback which is called every time a frame is about to display or is ready to be displayed - is anyone familiar with such a callback?
Another way would be to have a timer which uses -currentFrameImage and compares it with the last frame image it tested - however firstly I don't know how you would go about comparing two NSImages, and secondly I would imagine this would be problematic if two sequential frames were the same, it would effectively assume a frame was dropped when it was not
The last way I can think of would be to again use a timer, this time to call -currentTime. I have tried this, however for some reason the timeScale is set to 1000000000. I have read (at http://jongampark.wordpress.com/2008/10/27/qttime-qtstringtime-and-smpte/) that the time scale is supposed to be 100*fps. So why is currentTime returning that the FPS is 10000000? This seems completely incorrect. There are no flags set in the QTTime returned.
I have searched everywhere for information on this - any searches to do with frame rate only lead me to how to set a frame rate on capture which is not what I am looking for
Help would be greatly appreciated

Keen to support her loving father, Ella welcomes her new stepmother Lady Tremaine and her daughters Anastasia and Drizella into the family home.

Yet, despite the cruelty inflicted upon her, Ella is determined to honor her mother's dying words and to "have courage and be kind." And then there is the dashing stranger she meets in the woods.

Originally written on Shutdown Corner | Last updated 11/19/14
Bryan Braman of the Houston Texans is an undrafted rookie free agent special teams player. I'm assuming he's aware of the ongoing discussion of the dangers of helmet-to-helmet hits. I'm also assuming, based on what you're about to see below, that he just doesn't care. That's not a helmet-to-helmet hit, that's a player intentionally ramming his head, unprotected by a helmet, into another player's helmet. I'm not a physician or anything, but if a helmet-to-helmet hit is a dangerous, I think we can infer that a noggin-to-helmet hit is also pretty dangerous. There's an instinct to applaud the man for his hustle, and his willingness to sacrifice himself to make a play. This is something that belongs on Jack Lambert's highlight reel. But if we're trying to protect players and trying to get them to understand the long-term dangers of repeated blows to the head, shouldn't we also discourage something like this? I mean, I don't know what we're supposed to tell the guy. It is, after all, his...

wannabe peppermaster
Hi all. Just wanted to drop in and say wassup. I'm pretty new to gardening and seem to have the most luck with peppers, so next year my pepper production will be expanding. Besides, with names like ghost, scorpion and reaper, who wouldn't wanna grow em. This year i grew a habanero and a cayenne that did pretty good. Looking for a place that sells seeds. If someone could link me or send me a pm with a reputable source, i'd appreciate that. I also wouldn't mind a donation of seeds if anyone wants to see thair seeds grown by another grower.
I look forward to learning as much as i can by next season from all you pepper gurus. Thanks for the wealth of information here.
Welcome and allow me to be the first to say your in the right place. These chili heads on here know their stuff and have helped me immensely. Personally I don't trust ant source anymore but these folk. I've been jipped several times from other places.
It's really to late in the year to start growing, so wait for Bonnie (the Seed Fairy) to start her seed swap, in like November. (There are a couple others too) Even if you don't have anything to trade, you will get a raft of goodies that you can start in January.
Peppers are a great "amateur" crop. Good luck!
I am also looking for seeds source for the next year.
I have come across couple of internet stores : Park Seeds , Pepper Gal.. just to name a few.
The thing is that I just need a few seeds of each, not 25 or 30.
I wonder if there are sellers who sell small packets ?
Obviously, I am not in trading seeds since I have nothing to exchange.
mikeysab and seysonn,
You don't have email links activated on your profiles. email me via mine, I can set you up with some interesting varieties for 2014.
p.s. Heather has also hosted and annual pepper and tomato seed swap in Nov/Dec for the past few years.

Size of cup affects the anterior capsular distance in total hip arthroplasty, as measured with ultrasound
1 Department of Orthopedics, Lund University Hospital, Getingevagen 4, Lund 22185, Sweden
2 Departments of Orthopedics, Lithuanian University of Health Sciences, Eiveniu 2, Kaunas LT-50009, Lithuania
BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders 2014, 15:23 doi:10.1186/1471-2474-15-23Published: 20 January 2014
Previously was found that sonography is a reliable method to measure a capsular distance in total hip arthroplasty hips. The aim of our current study was to investigate the relation between the implanted size of the cup and the anterior capsular distance, as measured with ultrasound one year after THA.
50 osteoarthritis (OA) patients operated on with total hip arthroplasty one year before were included in the study and the anterior capsular distance was measured sonographically. Patients were grouped with respect to cup size. The correlation between the implanted cup size and capsular distance was determined.
The mean capsular distance in the whole group was 1.37 (SD 0.19) cm. The mean capsular distance in the group with small cups was 1.27 (SD 0.13) cm, in large cups it was 1.45 (SD 0.20) cm, p = 0.02. Spearman correlation analysis showed a statistically significant correlation between a greater capsular distance and the larger size of the cup (r = 0.5, p < 0.0001).
The greater capsular distance in successful THA hips is affected by cup size. We propose that this should be considered when evaluating sonography of the anterior capsular distance after THA.

Karnak, Luxor
14 Reviews
14 Reviews
Favorite thing: No doubts about, the whole complex of Karnak is amazing achievement of an extraordinary civilisation which excisted three of four thousands year ago. I always wonder what will left after us who live nowadays, could one modern skycraper survive after three of four Hundred years, I doubt it. If not by natural cause it will be demolished or dismanteld by some maniacs.....
Favorite thing:
There is open space in between the 3rd and 4th Pylon where obelisk of Thutmose I stands. It is 21 meters tall and 150 tons of weighs. On the left of it, but actually situated in between 4th and 5th Pylon is obelisk of Hatshepsut, which is nearly 30 meters in height.
Hatshepsut had twin obelisks, at the time the tallest in the world. One obelisk still stands as the tallest surviving ancient obelisk in Egypt, the other was broken in two and toppled.
Fondest memory: This are my last saved pictures snaped in Karnak. As already explained in my intro of the page I have lost a very valuable memory card with pics from the Valley of Kings and the other pictures snaped in Karnak.
Favorite thing:
The Hypostyle Hall represented the middle section of the temple, it is in the heart of the Precinct of Amon-Ra and the most monumental part of the entire complex. It covers an area of 5000 square meters. The fallen massive rooftop was supported by 134 columns in 16 rows. It is noted for the density of columns but it was the only way that engineers of this time knew how to create large roofed space. The density of columns created a holy forest in which each column was decorated with fine carvings and paintings. The Hall were lit only through small windows high up on the walls and by torches. By ancient Egyptians the Hypostyle Hall was called "the resting place of the Lord of gods".
The Great Hyostyle Hall was begun by Seti I and completed by his son Ramesses II. The north side of the hall is decorated in raised relief and was mainly Seti I's work. The southern side was completed by Ramesses II in a sunk relief although he used raised relief at the very beginning of his reign. Ramesses II also usurped decorations of his father along the main north-south and east-west processional ways of the hall. The outer walls depicting scenes of battles from the life of both pharaohs and have documentary importants of that time.
Favorite thing:
Usimare Ramesses III, also written Ramses or Rameses, was the second pharaoh of 20th dynasty and is considering to be the last one great and important king of the New Kingdom. Actually, he was the last pharaoh to wield any substantial authority over Egypt. It is believed that Ramesses III have reigned from 1186 to 1155 B.C.
During his long reign Egypt was beset by invaders, especially by so-called Sea-Peoples. It was also the period when Egypt experienced the beginnings of increasing economic difficulties. Ramesses III defeated Sea-Peoples in two great land and sea battles but he also compelled to fight invading Lybian tribes in two major campaigns. The heavy costs of these battles exhausted Egypt's treasury and contributed to the gradual decline of the Empire. These difficulties, however, didn't stop Ramesses III in building monuments many of which seek to emulate those of his famous predecessor, Ramesses II. Ramesses III built important additions ot the temples at Luxor and Karnak but most of additions have been dismantled for massive fortifications which were built enclose the latter. Prior to Ramesses III reign no Egyptian temple had eved needed to be protected by fortifications.
Across the court, in front of the Second Pylon, stands the temple of Ramesses III and is the only temple still standing in the whole of Egypt which was built on a homogeneous plan by a single monarch. The open court of the temple is surrounded by covered passages supported by eight square pillars each and with statues of Osiris in front of them.
Favorite thing:
Almost every pharaoh of the dynasty added something to the temple site. Pharaohs were eager to leave behind marvellous testimonials of their reign.
Second Pylon was built by Horemheb but then Ramesses I usurped his reliefs and inscriptions on the pylon and added his own to them. These were later on usurped by Ramesses II. Horemheb filled the interior of the pylon towers with thousands of recycled blocks from dismantled monuments of his predecessors, especially talatat blocks from the monuments of Akhenaten, along with a temple of Tutankhamen and Ay.
It is not the entire truth that only invaders or robbers have demolished, robbed or dismantled the most ancient Egyptian culture, very important role in it had the successors of the thrones who were deliberately destroying works of their predecessors.
Favorite thing:
The site of the temples is dedicated to the divine triad of Montu, Amon and Mut. Amon-Ra was the supreme Sun God, Mut was his wife and Montu was the warrior god. Karnak is composed of three temples each one consecrated to one of these gods.
Precinct of Amon-Ra is the largest of the precincts of the temple complex. It is dedicated to god Amon, the chief deity of the Theban triad. The temple of Amon-Ra started built pharaoh Senusret I (around 2000 B.C.) and finished by Ramesses II (1279-1213 B.C.).
Favorite thing:
The temple complex of Karnak is a vast open-air museum and the largest ancient religious site in the world. Building at the complex began in the reign of pharaoh Sesostris I in the Middle Kingdom and continued into the Ptolemaic period, but most of the buildings date from from New Kingdom.
Approximately thirthy pharaohs contributed to the building of Karnak, enabling it to reach a size, complexity and beauty not seen elswhere. Area of Karnak was the main place of worshiping god Amon-Ra (Amun), "hidden god" as was called by Egyptians.
Pylon is the Greek term for a monumental gateway of a temple. It consists of two tapering towers each surmounted by a cornice.
Fondest memory: During 18th dynasty Thebes became the capital of the unified Egypt and it is the period when major construction works took place.
Favorite thing:
Thebes is Greek name for ancient city which Egyptians call Tibah. The city was located at the east bank of the Nile, within the modern town of Luxor, while the Theban Necropolis is situated on the west bank of the river. Thebes have very long history, the town was inhabited from around 3200 B.C.
Karnak is part of the monumental city of Thebes, actually it is its northen part while Luxor is its southern part.
Thebes was known in the Egyptian language as "the City of Amon", referring to the deity Amon-Ra. Greeks called it Diospolis or by surname "megale" (the Great), to differentiate if from numerous other cities also called Diospolis. The Romans rendered the name Diospolis Magna.
Fondest memory: In 323 A.D. Constantine the Great recognized the Christian religion, and in 356 Constantius II ordered the closing of pagan temples throughout the empire. By this time Karnak was mostly abandoned.
The exact location of Thebes was unknown in Medieval Europe. The Karnak temple complex is first described by an unknown Venetian in 1589, although he didn't relates no name for the complex.
Favorite thing:
Based on the available informations after collecting the views of the audience about sound and light show in the karnak , the show has been developed and become more interested also the duration has been reduced. The light , seats and sound system has been developed also the form of the show has been changed without changing his historical content. Tourists from all over the world liked the new show also all the heads of the states and all the heads of ministries who visited luxor and attended the show were admired by it .

Favorite thing:
We've bought The Illustrated Guide to Luxor by Kent R. Weeks (The American University on Caïro Press) and are very satisfied with it. It has background information, tours, tips and ... very good illustrations. It contains enough information to plan, look at sites and read it again and again when you're home ('sigh') again. It contains descriptions of Karnak, Luxor temple, the valley and many of the monuments. We paid Egyptian pounds 150 in the bookshop near the Winterpalace in Luxor. Worth every piaster.
ISBN 9789774248009 See: www.aucpress.com
Fondest memory: Karnak temple, the small temple of Ptah (found it thanks to the guide)
Favorite thing:
Although most of Karnak has been thoroughly excavated, the temple still conceals and occasionally reveals more of the Pharaohs' secrets and mysteries.
After being buried for nearly 3,600 years in the temple ruins, a statue of Neferhotep, whose name means "beautiful and good", was lately uncovered by archaeologists from the Centre Franco-Egyptien D'Étude des Temples de Karnak in a niche 1.5m below the foundation pit of Hatshepsut's obelisk at the Wadjyt hall. It is a life-sized statue of the Pharaoh in the customary royal striding position, wearing the royal head-cloth nemes and holding a mace in one hand. The forehead bears an emblem of a cobra, which Ancient Egyptians used as a symbol on the crown of their Pharaohs. They believed that the cobra would spit fire at approaching enemies.
The second half of the statue is still buried in sand and waiting to be unearthed, but according to archaeologists there are several obstacles to be overcome. Lifting out the dyad would be a critical operation requiring accuracy and specialised techniques.
Egyptologists are divided into two groups; Some think that this is a unique statue of a Pharaoh who has few representations, as well as its being a valuable addition to the overwhelming number of monuments at Karnak Temple. On the opposing side are others fear an unpredictable disaster that might lead to major damage to the obelisk or the portico.
A professional committee of French and Egyptian architects, archaeologists and restorers has been assigned, to discuss the issue and decide on a solution. "We cannot remove a whole temple to unearth a statue."
Favorite thing:
Dont bother with the karnak light show.....it is long and boring and you cant see much of the temple.
The valley of the kings is a must and can easily be organised by yourself, dont pay reps prices.
Luxor is quieter than cairo, almost peaceful.
Do try to get to Cairo to see the pyramids and sphrinx and dont miss out on the very large, very hot and very cluttered cairo museum. It will make you appreciate Luxor even more when you return.
Fondest memory: A day trip to the red sea and taking a boat out to a coral island. learnt to snorkle with the whippet thin guide in shallow water. (im a full figured woman and it is not easy to snorkle and hold your stomach in to avoid the razor sharp coral...!)
A wonderful lunch of fish, rice and fresh cucumber, tomatoes and melon served on the boat then back for a couple more hours swimming.
It s a 3 hour drive through the desert, stopping once for a 5LE loo break and a drink.
The best bit was coming back with the sun setting over the rocks and my sunburn screaming.....my own fault. Dont forget the factor 100 next time...
Fondest memory: One thing I will always remember is when we visited the Karnak temple in nighttime for the sound and light-show. Now, the show itself was an uninteresting and expensive rip-off, in my opinion. What was so great about the visit was a completely different thing. We were there well ahead of time, and before the thing started I wanted to visit the restrooms. This was arranged, and I ended up walking alongside one guide through the temple. It was dark, the stone structures mounting high around us only lit up by a myriad of shining stars. No one was around. I couldnt help but drift away, and wonder if this was how it felt for the people working in the temple thousands of years ago, and knowing that the sky that looked down on them was the same that lighted our way. Shivers run down your spine, I can assure you.
