The Citadel is a fortified enclosure begun by Salah al-Din in 1176 AD on an outcrop of the Muqattam Hills as part of a large defensive system to protect both Cairo to the north and Fustat to the southwest. It was the center of Egyptian government and residence of its rulers until 1874, when Khedive Isma'il moved to 'Abdin Palace

Al-Rifa‘i (Ahmad ibn ʽAli al-Rifaʽi) 1119-1183, was an Iraqi Sunni Muslim preacher, ascetic, mystic, jurist, and theologian, known for being the eponymous founder of the Rifaʽi tariqa (Sufi order) of Islam. Although this mosque is named after him, the shrine contains the burials of his grandson, 'Ali Abu Shibbak al-Rifai and another Sufi mystic, 'Abd Allah al-Ansari.
The Mosque of al-Rifa'i replaced a zawiya (shrine) of the sufi saint, al-Rifa'i. It is also the royal mausoleum of Muhammad 'Ali's family, in addition to Hosh al-Basha (the Courtyard of the Pasha), in the Southern Cemetery.
Patron: commissioned by Hoshiyar Qadin (Hoşyar Kadın) ?-1885, consort to Ibrahim Pasha & Walida Pasha to their son, Isma'il Pasha.

Construction Supervisor: Khalil Agha chief eunuch & director of estates for Isma'il Pasha.

My Dad used to be a boxer, my uncle used to be a kick boxer (Taekwondo) and my great grandfather was a boxer who fought Muhammad Ali early in his career....I am none of these things, I just find it amusing how big the gloves are on me.

"The fight is won or lost far away from witnesses - behind the lines, in the gym, and out there on the road, long before I dance under those lights."

At 12 years old, Cassius Clay's (his birth name) bike was stolen. He reported it to Joe E. Martin, a police officer and boxer, and reportedly told Martin he wanted to "whup" the thief. Instead, Martin started training him.

I’m not a big boxing fan. Somehow I just cannot feel the joy while cheering on the participants to batter each other bloody. But, there is one boxing champion who was such an epic personality that I do carry memories of his time and consider him a hero. Clockwise, this collage of images is from the following sources:

ICONS show runs February 14th – March 31st, 2010
Los Angeles based French street artist, Mr. Brainwash (aka Thierry Guetta), celebrates his first solo show in New York with ICONS. Mr. Brainwash is the alter-ego of French immigrant Thierry Guetta, who now lives in Los Angeles. His preoccupation with street art and graffiti led him to years filming the people behind the work, and eventually he became an artist too.
This body of work is the result of traveling throughout Europe and the United States as the subject of Banksy's new documentary, Exit Through the Gift Shop. This documentary about the process secretly premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January of 2010. It wasn’t listed in the program, but quickly became the hottest ticket at the festival. Featuring famed street artists like Banksy, Ron English, Borf and Shepard Fairey, the viewer is able to watch the famous fiends at work. One of the most memorable scenes is of Banksy installing an inflatable replica of a Guantanamo torture victim right next to a roller coaster in The Happiest Place On Earth — Disneyland.
Being a trusted accomplice of Banksy is no small feat — and accomplice is perhaps a better word than friend, given that Banksy described Guetta as “maybe just someone with mental problems who happened to have a camera.”
Since his entrance onto the contemporary art scene in 2008 with his Los Angles show “Life is Beautiful”, Mr. Brainwash (Guetta) has raised a lot of questions, namely ‘is he for real?’ Guetta began to follow the exploits street artists’ Shepard Fairey and Banksy with a digital video camera, but soon Banksy turned the camera on Guetta, encouraging him to create his own persona, which is the end product of Exit Through the Gift Shop, the documentary being billed as ‘the world’s first street art disaster movie’. Critics and gallerists alike have written him off as a hack, or simply a regurgitation of Banksy and Shepard Fairey’s existing work.
Held in a two story converted gallery space, at 415 West 13th Street, the show features pop portraits, prints, and engaging large scale sculptures. An enormous multi-level space packed with jumbo canvases and installations, including a life-size horse made from tire treads. In the middle of the upper level was a pink-splattered can of paint so big you could hold a party inside it. Combining pop art sensibilities with graffiti culture, Mr. Brainwash’s relentless riffing on celebrity culture is at once familiar and colorful. He recasts Angelina Jolie as Marilyn Monroe, smothers a 7′ can of spray-paint with Louis Vuitton’s famous monogram, and recreates Jimi Hendrix on a canvas covered in crushed records. At the back of the room, almost hidden in the dark, was a classic NYC cab sealed inside life-sized Matchbox packaging.
The feeling of the show? A Warholian art revival with walls filled up with dozens of replicant Madonna images, as in Warhol's Campbell's Soup series, so much so that it could be difficult to say if the whole thing is just a joke or Mr. Brainwash really believes he is 'an original'. To underline his artistic personality, though, all the silkscreens were colored with spray paint or had some additional details.
Regardless of sentiment, Guetta’s work draws a crowd. Without endorsing or refuting his credibility as an artist, Brainwash certainly fulfilled the exhibitions’ namesake. Under his nom de guerre, Guetta created or reproduced images that are easily identifiable; the subjects are no longer individuals, but rather logos in our collective cultural memory.

Before he became known as Muhammad Ali, the former heavyweight-boxing champ was named Cassius Clay. This copy of Referee Magazine features Clay and former heavyweight champ Sonny Liston getting ready to do battle a second time. The magazine is dated Nov. 21, 1964, nine months after Clay beat Liston the first time (February 25, 1964) and six months before the newly named Muhammad Ali beat Liston the second time (May 25, 1965). Clay signed this copy of the magazine as Muhammad Ali.
[Note: The rematch between Muhammad Ali and Sonny Liston was moved to Lewiston, Maine after a deal with the Boston Garden fell through. It was a short bout: Ali knocked out Liston in the first round on May 25, 1965.]

Ali-Frazier II took place January 28, 1974. Its the second of three bouts between Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier, that took place at the Madison Square Garden in New York City, on January 28, 1974. Ali won by unanimous decision.
I thought that the portrait of Muhammad Ali and the jogging woman composite an interesting connection between the past and the present.
