Egyptian men play snooker by candlelight at a club in the Mohandessin district, in Giza, Egypt, Saturday, May 25, 2013. Blackouts happened under autocratic leader Hosni Mubarak, ousted in a 2011 uprising, and became more noticeable last summer. In recent months, as temperatures climb again, they have become part of Egyptians' daily routine, even in the most upscale districts of the capital. Along with a stuttering economy, traffic-clogging street protests, and a crime wave, they have come to symbolize the disorder of the post-Mubarak era. The government has urged citizens to cut down use of electricity during the summer and said it is working on securing enough funds to buy fuel to solve the problem.(AP Photo/Hassan Ammar), APTOPIX
