Sexless marriage: Millions of moms are in one, yet it's taboo to talk about it. Momlogic asked 2,500 married women to reveal the dirty details about their sex lives after marriage and we were shocked by what we found--half found sex to be a depressing, embarrassing or a hassle! PLUS: Three moms and a deprived husband share their stories of sexless marriage. AND: Expert advice for spicing up your relationship.
The most eye-opening findings:
50% of women find sex either depressing, embarrassing or a hassle: We also found out that although 77% of the women claim their sex life is somewhat to very important to them, 54% of married women admit they're the ones who don't want to have sex.
According to 29% of married women, they're just too tired: Not too surprising--at least to those of us with young kids-- that this was the main reason women say they don't want to have sex.
What would women rather do than have sex?
⢠24% would rather take a bubble bath.
⢠26% would rather read a book.
Also, according to our survey:
⢠23% of the women who have sex do it because they love their husbands and want to make him happy.
⢠49% of the women have sex because they want it.
⢠26% of the women surveyed say their sex lives took a turn for the worst after they had children.
Even momogic contributor, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Shannon Fox was surprised by the results of our survey. "It is sad to see that half of the women polled described their sex lives as depressing, embarrassing or a hassle. That is a lot of unhappy women! That means that even the women who are having sex more often aren't happy with the quality of the sex they are having."
But on the flip side, although things look bleak when it comes to married sex, Shannon Fox says, "77% say of the women say that their sex life is important. I've found that the husbands in sexless marriages are often shocked to discover that their wives think sex is important. Spouses in sexless marriages often feel neglected and that their desires are unimportant to their mates."
Shannon Fox adds, "It is not surprising to see that the frequency of sex decreased for many couples after the birth of their first child. Many women report less opportunity for sex, dislike for their post-baby bodies and sheer exhaustion as the main killers of their sex lives after children."
According to statistics, living in a sexless marriage is VERY common; however, for some reason, it is still one of the most taboo subjects around. But we found three moms who invited us into their homes (and marriages) and shared their own experiences of being in a sexless marriage. And it's not all what you'd think...
A deprived husband turns to momlogic to help save his sexless marriage. Keep reading for the complete interview.Check out our gallery and spice up your life life with an aphrodisiac.
Women hate all sex. once they put on the ring its over. I can say to all young men never marry women. I had more sex in one month before i was married than ive had in the last 10 years since ive been married. Marriage is horrible!!!!!!!!!! It is missery why in gods name why would any man ever want to get married!!! I pray my wife leaves me very day of the week. I swear as soon as she put on the ring that was it no more sex. I should make a website up dedicated to spreading the word that once you get married your sexlife is over and you might as well be dead.
On another note I have to ask this question. Why do you marry men if you hate sex so much? Is it just because you feel the need to repopulate the species? In my opinion let it die. Life is better without you women who hate sex so much.
Most men don't care if you gain a few pounds we just want some intimate moments with you and to express our love for you! If you women hate sex so much please don't waste our lives on you. God how I miss being single. If it wasn't for the financial problems of divorce id dump my sexless wife in a moment!!! Take it from me young men never marry. Have night or two with them and then get rid of them and move on. Ive staid faithfull for ten years and im about to burst. Mark my word young men NEVER MARRY!!!!! NEVER MARRY!!!!! NEVER MARRY!!!!!! NEVER MARRY!!!!!!! NEVER MARRRY!!!!!
Once you get married its the end of your life. I thought my wife liked sex before we got married and we had sex all the time. Once she puts on the ring its over. Her sex drive dies and your life is a nightmare of sexless nights and frustration. Oh and she hates it if you haven't had sex for a week and she doesn't want to but you take care of your own needs oh my god its the end of the universe your a lowlife even though she doesn't want sex. I can't describe how horrid marriage is. I pray for death!!!!!!!!!!
I believe it would greatly reduce the divorce rate if potential marriage partners answered this question to each other.
Assuming there is no physical or verbal abuse, no drug problems, and no physical incapacities,
for how long after the wedding should a married couple continue to give each other a sex life?
a) Til death do us part.
b) Only until the women reaches menopause.
c) Only until the novelty of marriage wears off, say one to two years, and after that sex is only for making babies.
d) Only during the honeymoon, and after that sex is only for making babies.
Knowing how a potential spouse answered this question would prevent surprises later on in the marriage.
The surprises I'm talking about here are the ones that make men feel like they are stuck in a loveless marriage,
and they then either stick with it as unhappily married men, or end it in divorce, or go out and seek what's
missing in their lives from other women, and then their wife claims that is the reason the marriage is bad.
There is a saying "Women need to feel loved to have sex, and men need to have sex to feel loved".
It's a start but not the total picture since women also need to feel comfortable with their body
to want sex, or feel that there is something to gain from having sex, such as to kick-start to new
relationship or maintain one that is not yet legally binding.
The answers to the above question should be discussed prior to "The Commitment", and it should
never be okay for either partner to invoke the "prerogative to change ones mind" about "The Commitment"
after the wedding. This would reduce the divorce rate by preventing the marriages that would
most likely end in divorce, not because of physical or verbal abuse, or drug problems, or physical
incapacities, but because of differing sexual agendas.
After stage III breast cancer at age 42, eight years ago, the thought of having sex freaks me out. It's bad enough that I have to see ME every time I change clothes, the thought of anyone else seeing me is not going to happen. period. I had "reconstruction" and that only made wearing clothes tolerable. =( My hubby has been really great, but you know what? If he does cheat.. so be it. It would only be for the physical aspect and so what. I'm almost beyond caring anymore.
Samantha.. I sympathize with your situation and wish you the best. However, my wife did not have such a devastating issue as cancer. She merely quit doing all the activities that I thought were common interests before we were married, and it caused her to gain weight. The weight gain then caused her to suffer body-image anxiety. And her way of coping with body-image anxiety was to avoid sex and all activities that sometimes previously led to sex, such as hot tubs, dancing, parties. She has shut down her social life as her way to cope with her weight gain, and has left me, her husband, out in the cold.
on your questionnaire you have
b) Only until the women reaches menopause????
FYI a lot of women enjoy sex more after menopause, and I notice you don't say anything about impotence. Speaking of which you also mention 'no physical incapacities', What about mental or other health incapacities? Impotence can be a physical problem just as well a mental problem—the same for woman, more so in fact. It is a fact that sex involves more mental than physical for a female. Women's bodies have a lot more hormone issues going on that affects things as well.
As for your wife, a person doesn't avoid sex as a way TO DEAL WITH body-image anxiety, they avoid sex BECAUSE they have the anxiety. Also, she didn't shut down her social life as her way of COPING with the weight gain, she did it BECAUSE of the weight. She isn't avoiding hot tubs, dancing, and parties to avoid sex, they are SOCIAL things and she's avoiding them because she's embarrassed by her weight. For you to equate hot tubs, dancing and parties with sex is ridiculous! (I will give you the hot tub if it's just the two of you.)
You and your wife need to seek counseling—her alone as she's probably suffering from depression (and who knows maybe that's why she stopped the activities and gained weight), and both of you together because you need to get a REAL understanding of what she is going through (it'll also be a safe environment for you to vent your frustrations…)
all the women who wish their husband would spend more time/effort getting them in the mood should walk outside. now, turn around and look at the house you live in. go inside and look at the furniture, clothes in the closet, dishes, appliances etc. think of your husband at a job he hates, sticking to it because he committed to a lifetime of trying to make YOU comfortable.
eat SOME chocolate, take a bubble bath, put a smile on your face and forget about the note sent home with johnny from school until tomorrow morning.
If it's a mental problem that prevents women from
giving their husbands a sex life, then why don't women
acknowledge when they have this problem and get treatment
to cure it, instead of simply making it their husbands
problem to live in a loveless marriage. My wife is
content to go the rest of her life without sex, and
has therefore decided for me that I must do the same.
If she had made such a decision before we got married,
we would never have got married. That is a major
deal-breaker for me, and I feel like I am the victim
of a well-executed scam. If she were willing to give
me a sex life before marriage because she felt that
our relationship depended on it, which it did, then
after marriage she should still act like our relationship
depended on it, because when we become empty-nesters
it most likely will.
Greg are you listening at all? First of all, SEX DOES NOT EQUAL LOVE!!! And know one is forcing you to stay in a loveless marriage. Your argument doesn't hold up. People do not know before hand if and when they will be ill. Your questionnaire is rubbish. I'm still perplexed why you say 'no sex after menopause' when many women's libido rises after that. It cannot be predicted which will or won't, just as we don't know which men will end up with impotence. You also mention physical and verbal abuse as if that's it. There is also mental/emotional abuse and neglect.
Have you not listened to any of the women on this board who say they truly are too physically and mentally exhausted for sex…or those who feel they aren't the only ones to have 'changed' that their husbands act like an additional child in the family (raising kids is a 24/7 job)…or the ones whose husbands' idea of forplay/getting her in the mood/turned-on is a slapped butt and grabbed boob (MAJOR TURN-OFF FOR MOST WOMEN)?
I am trying to help you here SO QUIT YOUR WHINING AND LISTEN UP—I don't know you so I don't know if your wife is feeling over worked and under appreciated…if you treat her as only MAID, SEX, HOME/CAREGIVER… or if she is depressed (few people with mental problems seek out care on their own), so here is what you do: the two of you go to marriage counseling (if she has depression a qualified person will be able to diagnose it). You need counseling to figure out whether the marriage can be save or not (and help in doing so)—that is if you want it to be, and no, the answer is not "it would be if she gave me sex". And Greg, remember this, NO ONE stays the same throughout their life…you're not the same person you were twenty years ago, or ten, or five…
And don't tell me you can't leave the marriage because of religious reasons or the kids—if 'religious reasons' you'd be trying to figure out what is wrong (again, no the answer isn't 'sex'), plus you'd already be getting counseling—if because of 'the kids', what are you teaching or benefiting your kids with, with all the animosity and whatever else is going on?
(You say you feel like a victim; I bet she thinks the same of herself.)
Sex does not equal love, here is what my own life observations have seen..
Women need to feel loved to have sex, and men need to have sex to feel loved.
It's not the total picture since women also need to feel comfortable with their body
to have sex, or feel that there is something to gain from having sex, such as to kick-start to new
relationship or maintain one that is not yet legally binding, ie. before marriage.
Men have no problem with being overweight and still wanting to have a sex-life,
and men still want a sex-life after marriage.
a) Til death do us part.
b) Only until the women reaches menopause.
c) Only until the novelty of marriage wears off, say one to two years, and after that sex is only for making babies.
d) Only during the honeymoon, and after that sex is only for making babies.
The reasoning behind the a) b) c) d) answers has nothing to do with physical incapacities, since
as you mentioned, there are many women who still like sex after menopause.
Answers b) c) and d) are simply the most common outcomes of what wives really do after marriage.
These answers are about what a person is WILLING to do, not what they are physically able to do.
The b) c) d) answers are important because women need to know ahead of time that this is a common pattern
they do that makes marriage hell on earth for men. It's all about their WILLINGNESS, not their physical ability.
I see commercials for medications that allow men who are WILLING but UNABLE to have sex
become men who are WILLING and ABLE to have sex.
Women need to find something that makes those who are ABLE but UNWILLING to have sex
become ABLE and WILLING to have sex. The problem for me is that my wife is UNWILLING to
have sex, but is also UNWILLING to admit there is a problem, and therefore UNWILLING to
seek any kind of counseling or treatment because to her it is not a problem, or at least
not her problem.
It is the WILLINGNESS that shows where your heart is at in a relationship, not your physical ability.
My wifes behavior followed answer c). I struggled for years trying to get her in the mood.
I finally gave up trying. There are NO religious reasons for my staying in a loveless marriage.
I stay because I want to live in the same house with my kids while they are growing up.
I take them to school each morning. I help them with homework each night. I don't want some judge
telling me that I can only be with them every other weekend. They would never get to school on time.
My wife sleeps in every morning and is still asleep when I leave each morning with the kids.
She stays up very late every night watching TV.
I initially tried to stay up late with her but after midnight I just couldn't stay awake, and I had trouble
staying alert at work. So, besides avoiding all the things I thought were common interests
we had before marriage, my wife doesn't even go to bed until long after I am asleep. I am second
place in her life to the TV, and it's been that way since the second year of our marriage.
It's just sex pretend he's your ex and take one foe the team.
i happen to love with my husband, I just love sex I have to have it. If your not into it maybe you should explore your sexuality, Try toys or porn. Do things to your husband you've never done before. Even try having sex with yourself. Roll play can be fun too. To the women who are mad at their husbands for not helping you around the house I have a question: are you helping with the bills?
One reason your wife may not be having sex with you is you sound like a douche bag. Women can tell when you have a problem with them. Take her out for a nice dinner get a few drinks in her and hopefully she will put out. You seem to be unhappy with her and she is more than likely not happy with you. Sometimes marriages are not meant to last.
PS: not every woman wants to cut off sex. Sometimes men think that they are great in bed/ or in shower and the truth is it boring sex. A man gets to have his happy ending but what about woman. I enjoy sex but if it's just going to led to a disappointment than why try?
If she's not giving it to you she maybe giving to someone else besides herself
If more couples were having great sex at home - less would be looking for it elsewhere. After 3 children in 5-years I was always too tired to have sex but lately my sex life's gone through the roof.My husband and I have been doing The Sexy Workout from unisexyfitness.com. It's a foreplay workout. You simply do it then have sex… it's that easy - and incredible! As an added bonus we're both getting in shape.
My wife and I have been married 18 years and still going strong. Sex has ebbed and flowed over that time period mainly due to children(three 16,10, and 8 yrs old). Yes our bodies have changed, but we still enjoy sex with each other as often as we can. The "secret" is to flirt constantly with each other. Little pats,touches,kisses or naughty little words only the two of us hear. Then, when we have the chance, if its once a week or every day we are ready. Its knowing the desire is there. I find the longer we have been together the better the sex. I know exactly what she enjoys and likewise. Don't give up, trust in God an each other.
my wife acts like sex is a chore. never initiates anything. nothing. its like doing it to a pillow. if we change positions. i have to tell her to. no blow jobs, nothing erotic, she never does any work. there is an excuse for everything. it hurts, my jaw hurts (after 10 seconds of bj) thats uncomfortable, i don't know how (something simple like riding a certain way) sheesh… i get tired of it anf often fell like looking elsewhere.
I've been married for nearly 29 years, and I love being intimate with my husband, but its an effort we both make and its based on the love that I have for this amazing humang being I call my husband. Great topic, and one we evidently need to talk about more.
I'm a medical student, mother of a 4 year old, and just recently got married. Sure I am busy, stressed, and tired much of the time, but sex (or more accurately, good/great sex) is a great pick me up— your body releases plenty of "de-stressing"/"be happy" chemicals during sex/orgasm. I know though that when you are mentally and physically tired, sometimes it's hard to get in the mood. Well, here's some food for thought, ladies: I was watching the movie "Cocoon" the other month & it reminded me that one of these days his or mine wont be working all that well anymore— So, we better take full advantage of it while we still can.

Go Back
They say "knowledge is power," but in Zoopla's case it really is. The property search brand that lets home-hunters (or just nosy neighbours) get the inside scoop on houses across the UK and beyond has just launched a new integrated marketing campaign called "Smart Knows," which aims to demonstrate the power of its website in helping potential buyers make smarter decisions.
However, the really clever part lies in the brand's characterisation of the very concept of "smart." Rather than focus on the property market and the comparative benefits of Zoopla, the brand shifts the spotlight onto bold characterisations of what they think constitutes a "smart" searcher.
The effect is incredibly provocative. Intelligence is a cornerstone of the human ego, and acceptance and recognition from others are basic human needs. With headlines like "Smart searches on the move" and "Smart unlocks the mysteries of the neighbourhood," the ads challenge beholders to recognise themselves in it, and instil an element of self-satisfaction in those who do.
Indeed, what's really nice about these characterisations and the sentiment of the whole campaign is that in many instances the idea transcends just property – in the 21st century, smart really does "do" on the move; it really does do its research.
It's a powerful idea, and one that we're glad to see Zoopla capitalise on. Here, the brand's implied proposition of "smarter property search" burrows its way into its very fibre. It's no longer a laundry list of customer benefits, but part of their very DNA. And, indeed, if Zoopla is as smart as it says it is, then surely it has as much right to a point of view as the rest of us. After all, smart is as smart does.

Barbie Gifts for the Holidays
Holiday Barbies: 2012
Bing Shopping: 2012
The newly minted queen of this year's holiday festivities glows bright in a crimson brocade ballgown with a tulle underlayer and just the right touch of seasonal sparkle on her oversized waist bow. Silvery jewels and cascades of curls finish off the finery.
Holiday Barbies: 2011
Bing Shopping:2011
A green-and-gold color scheme makes 2011's Barbie holiday-ready, while the architecture of her gown skews sophisticated and chic. Gold embroidery on the dress echoes her luxe chandelier earrings. But what we'd really like to know is how exactly she gets such smooth platinum tresses.
Holiday Barbies: 2010
Bing Shopping: 2010
A magnificently frothy white skirt is the centerpiece in Barbie's 2010 holiday finery, and it's accented by a delicately swirling red ribbon waist tie and floor-length red wrap. Of course, she's got the glitz, too – a red and gold bodice and sparkly hairpiece shine.
Holiday Barbies: Celebration Barbie ornaments
Bing Shopping: Ornaments
A Barbie made especially for your Christmas tree or holiday mantelpiece? Why not? The Celebration line of keepsake ornaments usually is based on the Holiday Barbie designs, offering miniature re-creations of the full-sized doll. Since these are only on offer for a short time during the year, they've become prized collector's items.
Barbie playsets & accessories: Barbie 3 story Dreamhouse
Bing Shopping: 3 story Dreamhouse
This hardly humble abode is a holiday gift your girl will never forget. Barbie's crib is crazy big, with an elevator that travels three floors. It's also filled with more than 50 pieces of furniture and accessories for endless interior decorating ideas. (And, of course, the hot tub's tiki lanterns light up.)
Barbie playsets & accessories: Barbie Hair-tastic Color & Wash Salon
Bing Shopping: Barbie Hair-tastic Salon
Barbie is known for her fabulous tresses, but how does she maintain her to-die-for 'dos? At the salon, naturally. A longhaired Barbie comes with the set, which also includes three hair-coloring markers, various styling accessories, and a working sink to wash and rinse away any bad hair days.
Barbie playsets & accessories: Barbie Loves Hair
Bing Shopping: Barbie Loves Hair
Take your styling skills a step further with a myriad of cute and cool accessories to glam up any Barbie. Some kits come complete with a doll, while others add to imaginative play with sparkle appliques, tiny straighteners and blow dryers, or wee barrettes, combs and hairbands.
Barbie playsets & accessories: Barbie Design & Dress Studio
Bing Shopping: Barbie Design & Dress Studio
We can recall when designing dresses for Barbie meant wrapping her in Kleenex and adhesive tape (or, if we were feeling especially inventive, an old cut-up sock and rubber bands crafted a new minidress). We're feeling retroactive envy for this awesome DIY set and all its refill packs.
Barbie fashion for girls: Sleepwear
Bing Shopping: Barbie Sleepwear
A great gift idea for little girls who love Barbie, sleepwear decorated with the most famous doll in the world will keep kids snug and happy in dreamland. Choose from easy-wear knee-length gowns, cute pajama sets or even shorts sets for when the weather gets warmer.
Barbie fashion for girls: Shirts and tops

If your girl has every doll, house, car and pet known to Barbie-kind, she'll be happy to wear her love for her fave toy on her sleeve. Barbie-emblazoned blouses are available for all age groups, from colorful toddler varieties all the way up to semi-snarky message tees for teens.

19 August 2011
Nottingham Post
Peter Palmer
Pianist Stephen Hough emerges as a resourceful composer with Other Love Songs, the song-cycle at the heart of the disc. Touching, dramatic or humorous, settings of Housman and other poets are vividly presented by Alisdair Hogarth and the five voices of his Consort. Brahms's Love Song Waltzes and New Love Songs flank Hough's sequence.

COLORADO SPRINGS, CO. -- Western Michigan's Jordan Oesterle has been named National Collegiate Hockey Conference Defenseman of the Week for his performance in WMU's
weekend sweep over Colorado College.
Oesterle (Dearborn Heights, Mich./Sioux Falls, USHL) netted the game-tying goal late in the first period in Friday's come-from-behind win in overtime. He also helped shutout the
Tigers on six power plays and blocked three shots while finishing with a +1 plus/minus rating.
On Saturday the junior blue-liner assisted on WMU's final goal of the game but once again helped the Bronco penalty kill unit shutout CC, holding them scoreless on four power plays.
Oesterle finished +2 on the night and blocked two additional shots.
His two-point weekend extended a personal-best point streak to four games in which he has one goal and four assists. During his run the Broncos have also posted a 3-0-1 record.
Oesterle and the rest of the Western Michigan hockey team are back in action later this weekend hosting Northern Michigan on Saturday at 7 p.m. and Sunday at 5 p.m. Saturday is
"Military Appreciation Night" and the team is pairing up with the WMU Office of Military and Veteran Affairs to collect donations for holiday care packages.

Morrison Planetarium
Morrison Planetarium is the largest all-digital planetarium in the world. State-of-the-art projector and software technologies allow the planetarium to produce the most accurate and interactive digital Universe ever created.
About the Dome
The Morrison Planetarium is the largest all-digital dome in the world with a 75-foot diameter projection screen tilted at a 30 degree angle. Thanks to immersive video technology, the dome seems to disappear when imagery is projected onto it, creating an experience more like flying than watching a movie.
The planetarium relies on scientific data to depict current discoveries with unprecedented accuracy. It also has the flexibility to present a wide variety of programming that is both educational and entertaining. Traditional star shows will be supplemented by live "tours of the Universe," and programming will include live NASA feeds as well as broadcasts from Academy scientists in the field.
Planetarium Shows
Everything we know about the Universe has changed: Galaxies are held together by a substance we can't see, and a force strong enough to counteract gravity is at work in the dark in-betweens. Explore two of today's greatest cosmic mysteries—dark matter and dark energy—in this vast, data-fueled starscape of beauty and wonder. Hurtle through Jupiter's atmosphere, sail out to deep space, and be there for the birth of our own galaxy while exploring never-before-seen visualizations of the invisible matter and forces at work in our Universe. Written by best-selling author Timothy Ferris and narrated by renowned astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, Dark Universe is a celebration of the pivotal discoveries we've made thus far—and of the questions that still drive our pursuit of the unknown.
Dark Universe was developed by the American Museum of Natural History, New York (www.amnh.org), in collaboration with the California Academy of Sciences, San Francisco, and GOTO Inc., Tokyo, Japan.
From Stardust to Skeletons
The atoms and elements that form everything in the Universe—from the largest galaxies to the tiniest moons, to the bones in the human body—were forged within stars. Explore the cosmic connection within us all in this live, 15-minute program hosted by our planetarium presenters in Hohfeld Hall. Passes not required, all ages welcome.
Skywatcher's Guide (July–September 2014)
July 3
Earth at aphelion (greatest distance from the Sun)—152,093,481 kilometers/94,506,507 miles—showing that the seasons are not caused by Earth's distance from the Sun but rather by the tilt of its axis of rotation. If its orbit were less circular and more elliptical, like that of Mars, it would be a different story. See August 17.
July 5
Moon at first quarter, lit from the right-hand side. As seen from the West Coast just after nightfall, it is nestled snugly between the red planet Mars and the bright star Spica in Virgo the Maiden.
July 12
Full moon in Capricornus the Sea Goat. Native Americans named this full moon the "Killer Whale Moon" (Haida), the "Crane Moon" (Choctaw), and the "Moon of the Giant Cactus" (Pima).
July 18
Last quarter moon for the Pacific time zone, where it occurs before midnight. In the Mountain, Central, and Eastern time zones, it occurs after midnight and so on the 19th. Either way, it rises tonight against the stars of Pisces the Fishes and is high in the southeast at dawn, lit from the left-hand side.
July 26
New moon. Sighting of the first thin crescent after new marks the start of the month Shawwal in the Islamic calendar. This will not be possible until after sunset on the 28th.
August 3
First quarter moon lit from the right-hand side and located in the southwest after sunset, visible only for the first half of the night.
August 10
Full moon in Aquarius the Water Carrier and a perigeal full moon—that is, a full moon occurring within a half hour of perigee (the Moon's nearest approach to Earth), making this the closest and biggest looking full moon of the year and resulting in higher tides than usual. The full moon of August is also known to some Native American nations as the "Sturgeon Moon" (Algonquin), the "Time When the Cherries are Ripe" (Cheyenne), and the "Blueberry Moon" (Ojibway).
August 12
Peak of the annual Perseid meteor shower as Earth plows through the trail of dust left in the wake of Comet Swift-Tuttle, producing up to 80 meteors per hour radiating from the constellation Perseus the Hero. Unfortunately, the Moon is a waning gibbous—two days past full—and its bright light will obscure all but the brightest meteors from view during the post-midnight hours that are considered best for watching a shower.
August 17
Last quarter moon occurs during the predawn hours, when the Moon is in Taurus the Bull, lit from the left-hand side.
August 25
New moon. The first visible crescent after new marks the start of Dhul-Qi'dah, the 11th month of the Moon based Islamic calendar. This will be visible only from South America on the 26th and from most of the rest of the world including the U.S. on the 27th.
September 2
First quarter moon in Ophiuchus the Serpent Bearer, not one of the usual constellations of the Zodiac, but one which intrudes across the ecliptic (the Sun's path against the stars) and where solar system objects spend more time than against the stars of neighboring Scorpius the Scorpion.
September 7
Full moon in U.S. time zones (some calendars written for Greenwich Time say this occurs on the 9th). Located against the stars of Aquarius the Water Carrier, rises at sunset and is visible all night. Although the full moon is supposedly fully illuminated and theoretically shadowless, some observers search for a hint of shadows along the edge of the Moon's disk. September's full moon was known to some Native American tribes as the "Wild Rice Moon" (Ojibway), the "Cool Moon" (Cheyenne), and the "Moon When the Plums are Scarlet" (Lakota Sioux). Being closest to the September Equinox, this moon is also called the "Harvest Moon" (details in Notes for This Season).
September 15
Last quarter moon for the Pacific and Mountain time zones (after midnight and so on the 16th for Central & Eastern. Rises at midnight against the stars of Taurus the Bull.
September 22
September equinox at 7:29 p.m. PDT. Sunrise and sunset are due east and west, respectively, and—at least in theory—day and night are of equal length. For observers located on Earth's equator, the Sun passes directly overhead at noon. In the Northern Hemisphere, this is the beginning of fall. In the Southern Hemisphere, it's the beginning of spring.
September 23
New Moon (the 24th in all but the Pacific time zone). Sighting of the first crescent after new marks the start of the month Dhul-Hijjah in the Islamic calendar, not visible in the U.S. until the 25th, and not in the Middle East or Asia until the 26th.
Fast moving Mercury starts to appear in the morning twilight by mid July, in the midst of a retrograde loop, and might be glimpsed very low in the predawn sky as it approaches to about 6 degrees of brighter Venus on July 16. Then, it quickly retreats back into the Sun's glow by the end of the month. Passing behind the Sun as it reaches superior conjunction on August 8, Mercury reappears in the evening sky in late August, reaching its greatest angular separation from the Sun on September 21. Because of the shallow angle of the ecliptic with respect to the horizon, however, the September apparition will be a difficult one for skywatchers in the northern hemisphere to observe. The crescent Moon's pass nearby on the morning of July 25 will be a challenge to observe, almost 10 degrees below bright Venus, and it will likely be obscured by the glow of twilight. The Moon's subsequent appearances with Mercury on the evenings of August 26 and September 25–26 will be too close to the Sun to be seen.
The brightest of the planets is a morning object, rising in the northeast shortly before sunrise—about 2 hours before on July 1, an hour and 45 minutes before on August 1, and about an hour before on September 1. It passes a fifth of a degree from Jupiter on the morning of August 18, rising one hour before dawn and less than a degree from the binocular—visible "Beehive" Star Cluster in Cancer the Crab. The waning crescent Moon passes near on the mornings of July 24 and August 23, but its pass on September 23 is washed from view in the glare of the Sun.
An evening object, the red planet gradually moves toward a late August encounter with Saturn, with several striking encounters with stars and the Moon along the way. It passes near the star Spica the week of July 8–17. Zooming eastward past Alpha Librae (also known as Zubenelgenubi) from August 23–24, it is only 3° south of Saturn on August 25 and officially in conjunction with it on the 27th, when they share the same right ascension (the equivalent of longitude on the celestial sphere). On September 28, Mars is 3 degrees from Antares, the star named after it (Antares=anti-Ares="rival of Mars"). The Moon passes near Mars on the nights of July 5th (with the star Spica nearby), August 2 & 31 (with Saturn nearby on the 31st), and September 29 (with the star Antares nearby).
Too close to the Sun to be seen in July, the largest of the giant planets passes behind our star on July 24 and emerges from the glare by mid-August, when it begins peeking out of the predawn twilight, just in time for a spectacular conjunction with Venus in which the two planets draw to one-fifth of a degree against the stars of Cancer the Crab on the morning of August 18. Rising slightly earlier each morning, Jupiter gradually climbing higher into the morning sky, located high in the east at sunrise by the end of September. The Moon's pass near Jupiter on July 26 is too close to the Sun to be seen, but those on the mornings of August 23 and September 20 are progressively easier.
The ringed planet is easy to see in the early evening skies, plodding through Libra the Scales, and Mars eventually catches up with it, moving in slowly from the west. On August 25, the two are only 3° apart, forming a tiny equilateral triangle with the star Alpha Librae. Look for the Moon nearby on the nights of July 7, August 3 & 31, and (lowest after sunset) Sept 27.

Summer Notes
A number of medium-to-bright Spring and Summer stars are on or near the ecliptic (the Sun's apparent path against the constellations), meaning that some planets and the Moon will occasionally be seen close to them. Encounters between the planets and the Moon or planets and bright stars are noted elsewhere, and here are some others involving the Moon and bright stars:
- The Moon is five degrees south of Regulus, the heart of Leo the Lion, on the night of July 1.
- On the morning of July 22, the Moon is less than two degrees north of Aldebaran, the eye of Taurus the Bull.
- On the night of August 5, the Moon is seven degrees north of Antares, the heart of Scorpius the Scorpion.
- On the morning of August 18, the Moon encounters Aldebaran again, passing 2 degrees from it.
The asteroid 4 Vesta and the dwarf planet Ceres are only a fifth of a degree apart on the night of July 4 (that's less than half the apparent diameter of a full moon). Observing them requires a telescope, since these two minor worlds are far away and faint, but they're located against the stars of Virgo the Maiden, only 1.5° south of the star Zeta Virginis. Already having orbited Vesta for more a year (July 2011–September 2012), NASA's Dawn spacecraft is now en route for Ceres, which it is expected to encounter in early 2015.
On July 4, 1054, Chinese astronomers recorded the appearance of a "guest star" in the sky that was visible to the naked eye in the daytime sky for 23 days. Even after it faded from daytime view, the "star" remained visible at night for 2 years. Looking at the exact spot where the "star" appeared, modern astronomers see the Crab Nebula. Located some 6500 light years away, this is a supernova remnant—the tattered shell of a massive star that exploded 7554 years ago, its light taking 6500 years to reach Earth in 1054. This stellar explosion was also observed by Japanese and Arab skywatchers, and evidence suggests that it may also have been seen by European astronomers.
On July 20, 1969, humans walked on the surface of a celestial body other than Earth for the first time. Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin rode the Apollo 11 lunar module "Eagle" to the Moon's Sea of Tranquility, where they stayed for nearly a full day (2.5 hours of it actually walking on the surface). Their lunar EVA was broadcast live to Earth, where it was viewed by an estimated 600 million people. Traversing as far as 196 feet from the lander, the astronauts collected nearly 50 pounds of lunar regolith for scientific study, which included three minerals (armalcolite, tranquillityite, and pyroxferroite) that were only later found on Earth. The astronauts returned safely to Earth on July 23, 1969.
On July 29, 1971, the Apollo 15 lunar module "Falcon" landed amid the Moon's Hadley-Apennine Mountains, the seventh human flight to the Moon and the fourth successful manned landing on its surface. The Hadley-Appenine region is on the eastern edge of the Sea of Rains, at the foothills of the 15,000-foot lunar Apennine Mountains and near 80 mile-long Hadley Rille, a sinuous collapsed lava tube. This was the first mission to land away from the Moon's equator, and the site was selected with the goal of collecting material from deeper in the Moon's crust than had been collected in previous missions. This mission was marked by the first use of the lunar roving vehicle, an electric-powered car which allowed astronauts David Scott and James Irwin to travel farther from the landing site than previous lunar explorers had been able to walk. In total, Scott and Irwin drove for 17.5 miles. Scott also performed a demonstration in honor of Galileo Galileo, who postulated that different weights would fall at the same rate. Scott simultaneously dropped a geologist's hammer and a falcon feather, and in the absence of air resistance, both hit the ground at the same time. The astronauts returned safely to Earth on August 7, 1971.
Asteroids with their closest approaches to Earth in July (keep in mind that most of these are orbiting in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, so at their closest to Earth, they're still on the order of more than an astronomical unit (93,000,000 miles) away and certainly not "close" enough to be any cause for concern: 41488 ("Arabian Nights" character) Sinbad, 1537 Transylvania, 5231 (science fiction pioneer Jules) Verne (see picture), 10189 (American artist) Normanrockwell, 4151 Alanhale (co-discoverer of Comet Hale-Bopp, not the Skipper on "Gilligan's Island").
Asteroids with closest approaches to Earth in August: 30444 Shemp (of the Three Stooges), 7032 (filmmaker Alfred) Hitchcock, 11548 (comedian) Jerrylewis, 3623 (Charlie) Chaplin, 4536 (pop-culture doctor) Drewpinsky, 9617 Grahamchapman (of "Monty Python's Flying Circus"), 4150 ("Beatle" Ringo) Starr, 12561 (Hollywood director Ron) Howard, 8249 (composer George) Gershwin, 15907 Robot (see picture), 5203 (opera tenor Luciano) Pavarotti.
August 17 is the Autumnal equinox…on Mars. The red planet's axis of rotation has a similar tilt to Earth's, only 25.2° as opposed to Earth's 23½°, so it does experience seasons, unlike Venus, whose axis is nearly vertical, resulting in virtually no seasonal differences. However, Mars' orbit is also more elliptical than Earth's, so variations in its distance from the Sun contribute to seasonal changes to a greater degree than we find on our own planet.
On August 28, 1789, while exploring the sky with his 47-inch diameter telescope (at the time the largest in the world), William Herschel discovered Enceladus, one of Saturn's 62 known moons. Covered by a layer of ice that makes it the most reflective body in the solar system, Enceladus is known to eject plumes of water from its south pole and is a leading candidate for future exploration of the outer solar system. Being only about 300 miles in diameter, Enceladus is too small to be seen in small telescopes, but the world it orbits—Saturn—is visible all season, gradually descending in the southwest just after sunset.
Asteroids with their closest approaches to Earth in September: 9387 ("Through the Looking Glass" character) Tweedledee (see picture), 91287 ('60s songsters Paul & Art)) Simon-Garfunkel, 3325 (science fiction conveyance) TARDIS, 6371 (author Robert) Heinlein, 9007 (fictional spy) James Bond, 9860 (prehistoric flying reptile) Archaeopteryx, 1815 (composer Ludwig) Beethoven.
The full moon on September 8 is also known as the "Harvest Moon." This name is traditionally given to the full moon nearest the Autumnal (or September) equinox. At this time, the angle of the ecliptic where the Moon is located is shallowest with respect to the eastern horizon. This means that even though the Moon moves 12 degrees eastward from day to day, it rises at nearly the same time on several successive nights. Typically the Moon rises an average of 50 minutes later from one night to the next, but around the equinox, it rises as little as 25–30 minutes later from night to night. When the Moon is full, this offers more continuous light following sunset, traditionally allowing farmers to continue the autumn harvest by the light of the Moon. This is an example of how the solar and lunar calendars are sometimes combined to lock certain events to particular seasons. Otherwise, the event would either always occur on the same day of the year according to a solar calendar or it would occur 11 days earlier from year to year under a lunar calendar, since a year reckoned as twelve lunar cycles is 11 days shorter than a 365.25-day solar year.
The Harvest Moon often brings with it observations that the rising full moon is larger and more yellowish than usual, but that actually applies to the appearance of all full moons, regardless of when they occur, when the "Moon Illusion" is seen. The yellowish color is a real effect of our atmosphere, scattering out the blue light and leaving the predominantly yellow/gold light to reach our eyes. As the Moon rises higher into the sky, this effect is gradually reduced until the Moon is its usual white and gray colors. The explanation for why the Moon looks larger on the horizon is still the subject of some debate, mostly concerning the comparative size of the Moon with respect to nearby objects on the horizon but the fact that it's an illusion can be seen in time-lapse photography which shows the rising full moon is the same size no matter if it's on the horizon or higher in the sky.
September 23 is the Fall equinox in the northern hemisphere (Spring equinox in the southern hemisphere). Theoretically, this is one of two days of the year when the Sun is above and below the horizon for equal periods of time (equinox = "equal night") - but that would be true only if the Sun were a point source and if Earth had no atmosphere. Here's how it works: Because the Sun has an apparent diameter of a half-degree of arc (or 1/720 of a full circle), "sunrise" and "sunset" can be defined in several ways. In theory, sunrise and sunset are when the center of the Sun's disk is on the horizon. However in general practice, both are said to occur when the top of the Sun's disk (a quarter of a degree from the center) first appears above the horizon (sunrise) or disappears below it (sunset). This alone makes "daytime" (usually defined as the period during which some portion of the Sun is visible above the horizon) begin earlier and end later than theory would have it. Compounding the issue is the optical effect of our own atmosphere, which refracts the Sun's light like a lens and causes its image to appear on the horizon sooner still and disappear even later than it's supposed to. Because of these factors, the Sun is visible in the sky for a slightly longer time on the equinox than it is hidden below the horizon. Due to the gradually-changing length of the daylight period through the year, the actual occurrence of day and night being equal is a few days before the Spring equinox and a few days after the Fall equinox, with slight variations depending on latitude.

On Saturday at 5:10 PM the Bourne/Mashpee/Wareham girls' hockey team will take the ice for their second varsity season. The program will feature several returning players and some new when they face Sandwich at the Falmouth Ice Arena.
"After our first preseason game I was impressed with what I saw," Coach Kristen Alexander said. "We still have a lot of work ahead, but every time we step on the ice we will be improving and I think we'll surprise a lot of teams."
The team will be led this year by veteran seniors Brittany St. Germaine and Shayna Santigo, both defensemen.
The first line this year will feature a freshman and two 8th graders. Tannah O'Brien, a freshman, has made the move up front from the defense.
"We'll use Tannah as a center this year," Alexander said. "She has great puck skills, is knowledgeable, skates very well and has a hard shot."
Eighth graders Marrisa Fitzgerald and Carly Lacasse will round out the line.
"Marrisa's speed will help us tremendously and she knows how to position herself. Carly is a very knowledgeable player who knows where to be looking for the play."
The second line should consist of sophomore Emily Gregoire and 8th graders Leah Hidenfelter and Alyson Hickey.
"Emily began playing hockey just two years ago and has improved a lot," the coach said. "Leah is probably one of our hardest workers and really hustles from goal line to goal line. Ally is playing her first year of hockey since the 2nd grade. She is very coachable and willing to learn."
Also in the mix looking for playing time are junior Michelle Flemming, sophomore Emily Chambers and 8th graders Portia McCarthy and Grace Dufromont.
"They have all showed improvement in the first week of practice," Coach Alexander said. "They are all very coachable players that want to be here and want to learn."
Joining Santigo and Brittany St. Germaine on defense are sophomore Natalia Gordon and freshman Jess Ballard.
"They're veterans," the coach said. "I think our defense is going to be strong."
In goal this winter the team has veteran netminder Ariel St. Germaine. A junior this season, it is the fourth season on the team for the talented St. Germaine, who joined the program as an 8th grader.
"Ariel stepped up and played goalie when no one else wanted to," the coach said. "She has come a long way."
BMW will be on the ice twice this weekend as they will host Quincy/North Quincy on Sunday at Falmouth at 6:40 PM.

Things we learned in Class AAAA Friday night
No. 1 Sandy Creek had a pedestrian offensive night by its offensive standards – the Patriots gained 274 total yards – but the defense had little trouble with No. 4 Carrollton's wing-T attack in a 30-7 win, holding the Trojans to 107 total yards. That total included some 50 yards in losses on two bad punt snaps, but the Patriots' defensive dominance was unquestioned.
Statement game?
Sandy Creek coach Chip Walker declined to take the bait.
"I hope it's a statement that we're a pretty good football team," he said.
Carrollton's Rayvan Teague was a little more to the point.
"They're going to be very tough to beat with all the talent they have," he said.
Marist flexes: Chamblee's dream of an undefeated season crashed in a 24-0 loss to Marist, which won its 17th straight over the Bulldogs according to ghsfha.com, a streak that dates back to 1983. Chamblee came in averaging 30 points per game, but Marist held them without a touchdown for the fourth straight year.
Carver is clutch: Not only did Carver win by three points or less for the fourth time with a 22-19 win over Grady, the Panthers needed a late score to remain unbeaten and got it. Carver running back Montravious Taylor looks like a back who could have a big impact on the playoffs; he's run roughshod the last three weeks, including Friday's 196-yard efffort.
Monroe Area fine with its backup: With quarterback Stanton Truitt out with an injury, No. 6 Monroe Area didn't miss a beat, whipping Chestatee 35-14 for the 8-AAAA title behind junior Michael Gallup, who rushed for 175 yards to go with Kwan Brooks' 125, according to the Gainesville Times.
Attention should be paid to Wayne County: The Yellow Jackets pulled started off 1-2-1, but have now won five of six after whipping No. 5 Statesboro 37-20 Friday night, earning the top seed in 3-AAAA Division A. They'll face No. 3 Burke County for the 3-AAAA title next week.
Gilmer merits some love, too: The Bobcats blanked Cedartown 38-0. Cedartown came in averaging more than 30 points per game behind the state's leading rusher, Nick Chubb. Chubb was just a week removed from a 6-touchdown performance against Cass.

Marist v Carver on Friday at new Lakewood stadium. Excited to see the new digs, though a bummer that Marist is on the road again — only 4 regular season home games this year. Hope we can add a few home games throughout the playoffs!
Great win by Wayne County. Did not see that coming.

War Eagle:Last night's games pretty much proved what was evident for some weeks now-there are 3 legit teams in4A class that have a good shot at a title.They are Marist,Burke and Sandy Creek.Anything else would require an upset.
November 3rd, 2012
11:00 am
@Just a fan — We'll see. I think 4A is pretty deep with talented teams. Too bad it looks like Sandy Creek and Burke County may be in the same quarter of the playoff bracket.
November 3rd, 2012
11:14 am
We have been under estimated all year and I am sure we will be this week as well. Good luck war eagles this is going to be a good one. Anybody in the know remembers that last year we battled pretty well and we are much better this year. All I can say is bring your lunch pail as this will definitely be a physical one. Let go panthers!!!!!!!
November 3rd, 2012
11:26 am
I beg to differ. One game doesn't define a season. Carrollton is a very good team but running against Sandy Creek won't win the game and it showed. Monroe Area is legit as are Griffin, Jonesboro, Westside Macon, Stockbridge and Ridgeland…And I don't see how you can discount an undefeated Carver team when Marist has to play them next week.
November 3rd, 2012
12:38 pm
Once again they forget to mention how we put a shutout to a supposedly star-bound team. North Clayton is next too. WE ARE THE REGION CHAMPS!!!!!
November 3rd, 2012
4:00 pm
1st down-wasn't basing prediction on 1 game-Trojans were never a threat for the big prize.If you will look at the teams you named most of them have never past round 1 of the playoffs.Do you really see any others who pose a big threat to SC?
November 3rd, 2012
5:30 pm
@ Just a fan—– Past performance does not guarantee future success. SC seems to be strong but on any given day. Thats why we play the game.
Based on past performance the AJC predicted us to be 4-6. Now we are 9-0 and sub region champs.
November 3rd, 2012
8:17 pm
I think Monroe could beat Marist, without Truitt, Sandy Creek & Burke is another story, maybe close if Truitt plays.
November 3rd, 2012
9:34 pm
If our defense plays like it did last night, we will have no problems in the playoffs. Of course it is difficult to "get up" like that for every game. I considered Carrollton the second best team in AAAA and still do. Consider their three losses: one to a much larger, top – tier school in Alabama, one to the best team in AA and defending (and probable repeating) champion, and one to the top team in AAAA.
November 3rd, 2012
10:03 pm
Supposedly the best @patriot power.. Stats n ratings are nothing but numbers right now. Nothings really proven till playoffs, thats when a teams true colors come out. and for Stockbridge, Those Green n Orange jerseys will shine brighter then ever. Lets hope that we meet so that we can prove who is the better team in AAAA
November 3rd, 2012
10:19 pm
@KD –which Marist games have you seen this year?
November 3rd, 2012
10:29 pm
Hey S…you sound like those Carrollton fans at the Outback last night before the game. They thought they had something for Sandy Creek too but it was just all talk before the kickoff. Bring your A game and come on..
November 3rd, 2012
10:30 pm
first let me say congratulations to sandy creek for a good game. the game was up for grabs until we started shooting ourselves on special teams. but those was were the two cracks that bust the dam open. once again teague got out coached badly in a big game. that obvious onside kick to start the second half when you're down 16-0 against the best team in aaaa is just stupid. your best player who should be playing fullback anyway only had 11 touches in the whole game give me a break
November 3rd, 2012
11:18 pm
@Trojan94′.. I thought that to be odd too. Your best player should be used up for a game like that. A lot of my guys didn't get in for SC so don't feel bad., SC is a deep team and usually I am on the same page as Coach, but I had to scratch my head on some of the play calls. the receivers couldn't catch a brick all day. They each probably had three drops. QB was a little off. The backs were the producers. They can run their top three backs and FB and pound and pound you. They still have a great offensive line to me. The Coach should be commended. That was the big question mark this year. I think SC will be champs again, but they still have to play the games.
November 4th, 2012
12:58 am
Remind me what team you represent again and how many state championships you have won or played for? In fact how many times have you been beyond game 12? Better to actually do one of those things before you talk smack.
November 4th, 2012
9:51 am
Remind me what team you represent again and how many state championships you have won or played for?
Y'all have a different team! This is not the "SAME" team that won a championship. It all starts over every year, students graduate, news one in.
SC is badass, no doubt, but don't think that another school can't come in busting out scores. Look at Monroe Area – Dominating the 7-1 Chestatee game.
It would only be a upset in SC eyes – Stockbridge peeps know whats coming at ya!

Jay, thanks for the nod for my beloved Hurricanes!! 9-and-0 with more togo!! Gallup has been OUTSTANDING filling in for Truitt, especially when you consider that he hadn't taken a snap in more than a month before being pressed into service against Walnut Grove three weeks ago. Kwan Brooks is the real deal.
But y'all just keep overlooking us. We LIKE it that way….
There's a storm brewing in NE Georgia……..
November 4th, 2012
9:58 pm
Our coaching staff is the same. That is the main ingredient of our success. Coach Walker has shown himself to be an excellent coach. Monroe Area? Seems I remember a 41-0 game back in 2010 in the quarterfinals.
@BURKE CO.1.FAN – How many times are you going to post the EXACT same thing? If you are going to be an ignorant homer, at least be a little creative and post some new material. BTW, any claim of 4.2 is immediate BS unless your name is Usain Bolt. If we do play, it will be in round 3, not at the Dome. You actually polled every person at Burke County and found that none of them were impressed with Sandy Creek? Wow, I am impressed with your diligence to find that out.
November 5th, 2012
12:00 am
Marist has now played six 4A games. 4 shutouts and allowed total of 22 pts.
November 5th, 2012
11:19 pm
ugh Green is not that fast. He runs a 4.5 at best. I think Marist is my darkhorse team this year but I think Sandy will win the championship this year. So far they are the best team in the state (AAAA).
November 6th, 2012
11:25 am
Sandy Creek was saying the same thing last year until they met Gainesville. Those Bears went on and lambasted Gainesville putting up 63 points. While Gator may not run a 4.2, I've yet to see any team stop him. Here's a warning to the STATE, BURKE is real! The majority of the team comes back next year too. We only have a few seniors.
November 6th, 2012
11:28 am
I'll give all schools credit though for having a shot. Anybody in the playoffs can get hot and go all the way. I agree the top 4 teams are SC, BC, Marist, and Stockbridge.

Burke Co. will continue to win… UNTIL!!! "Gator" Green leaves… after that, Burke will go back to barely being heard of… #TRUTH

The Cairo Landmarks Preservation Commission
Imagine if there was such a thing! and there should be, after all Cairo has some of the world's most important, beautiful and significant historic monuments. Many of Cairo's historic buildings are not museum pieces, they are living, lived and inhabited elements of a complex urban fabric. Historic preservation and landmark status (if we follow already existing and very successful models) help these buildings continue to be inhabited and part of the community, but landmark status and preservation can raise the economic, historic, cultural and touristic potential of Cairo's endlessly interesting urban fabric.
The two images above are of the Cairo Station hall before and after the ongoing "renovation." The architectural characteristic of this historic building is being vandalized with no respect to scale, historic character, function, or aesthetics. a Cairo Landmarks Preservation Commission, if one existed, would have prevented such a catastrophe from taking place and would have supervised a legitimate renovation effort.
As I wrote in a recent article, this station is the place of memories and history. It was the stage of Egyptian politics and culture. Here is a scene from a 1960s film (Romance in Karnak- غرام في الكرنك) where the station is the backdrop to a dance number by the famous Reda troupe.
so what would a Cairo Landmarks Preservation Commission do? Something very similar to what New York City's commission does, here is that organization's mission:
Mission of the Landmarks Preservation Commission
The Landmarks Preservation Commission is the New York City agency responsible for identifying and designating the city's landmarks and the buildings in the city's historic districts. The Commission also regulates changes to designated buildings. The agency consists of eleven Commissioners and about fifty full-time staff members, including architects, architectural historians, restoration specialists, planners, and archaeologists, as well as administrative, legal, and clerical personnel. Although it is one of the smallest New York City agencies, the Commission is the largest municipal preservation agency in the United States. The Landmarks Preservation Commission was established by the Landmarks Law in 1965 in order to:
- Safeguard the city's historic, aesthetic, and cultural heritage.
- Help stabilize and improve property values in historic districts.
- Encourage civic pride in the beauty and accomplishments of the past.
- Protect and enhance the city's attractions for tourists.
- Strengthen the city's economy.
- Promote the use of landmarks for the education, pleasure, and welfare of the people of New York City
check NYC's LPC website and imagine Cairo if such an organization is created with the mandate to preserve, protect and promote Cairo's architectural gems.
The 1965 Landmarks law followed the destruction of New York City's Pennsylvania Station seen here. This building no longer exists but its destruction lead to the law that now protects New York City's architectural heritage. Lets push for the creation of such a long overdue law here in Cairo before our station is destroyed.
NOTE (added May 13, 2011): In December 1881 the Khedive Tawfiq established a committee responsible for the preservation of Islamic and Coptic monuments in Egypt. As a body within the Ministry of Awqaf (charitable endowments) it was an Egyptian institution, although also known by its French title, Comité de Conservation des Monuments de l'Art Arabe.
This is important because we can say that we already had in the Cairo context an institution that preserved historic buildings, and this was established over a century ago. The Comité had its politics and interests and much has been written about it. although the Comité was formally dissolved in 1961, its activity was severely reduced in the last forty years of its life. This is important because looking forward to creating a new commission in Cairo should build on the history of the Comité as an institution as well as learn from other experiences such as that of New York for example after 1965.
UPDATE (May 15, 2011): Seems like the conversation regarding the station generated some kind of official response (the Railway Company essentially says that they own the property and they have the right to do what they wish with it). http://www.akhbarak.net/article/2496229
