It is the provincial capital of the Western Cape, as well as the legislative capital of South Africa, where the National Parliament and many government offices are located. Cape Town is famous for its harbour as well as its natural setting in the Cape floral kingdom, including such well-known landmarks as Table Mountain and Cape Point. Cape Town is one of the most popular South African destinations for tourism.[5] Located on the shore of Table Bay, Cape Town was originally developed by the Dutch East India Company as a victualling (supply) station for Dutch ships sailing to Eastern Africa, India, and the Far East. Jan van Riebeeck's arrival on 6 April 1652 established the first permanent European settlement in South Africa. Cape Town quickly outgrew its original purpose as the first European outpost at the Castle of Good Hope, becoming the economic and cultural hub of the Cape Colony. Until the Witwatersrand Gold Rush and the development of Johannesburg, Cape Town was the largest city in South Africa. As of 2007 the city had a population of 3.5 million.[3] Cape Town's land area of 2,455 square kilometres (948 sq mi) is larger 1 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia than other South African cities, resulting in a comparatively lower population density of 1,425 inhabitants per square kilometre (3,690 /sq mi).[2] Cape Town treaty in 1803. British forces occupied the Cape again in 1806 following the battle of Bloubergstrand. In the Anglo-Dutch Treaty of 1814, Cape Town was permanently ceded to Britain. It became the capital of the newly formed Cape Colony, whose territory expanded very substantially through the 1800s. The discovery of diamonds in Griqualand West in 1869, and the Witwatersrand Gold Rush in 1886, prompted a flood of immigrants to South Africa. Conflicts between the Boer republics in the interior and the British colonial government resulted in the Second Boer War of 1899-1901, which Britain won. In 1910, Britain established the Union of South Africa, which unified the Cape Colony with the two defeated Boer Republics and the British colony of Natal. Cape Town became the legislative capital of the Union, and later of the Republic of South Africa. History A painting of the arrival of Jan van Riebeeck in Table Bay (by Charles Bell) There is no certainty as to when humans first occupied the area prior to the first visits of Europeans in the 15th century. The earliest known remnants in the region were found at Peers cave in Fish Hoek and date to around 12,000 years ago. Little is known of the history of the region's first residents, since there is no written history from the area before it was first mentioned by Portuguese explorer Bartolomeu Dias in 1486. Vasco da Gama recorded a sighting of the Cape of Good Hope in 1497, and the area did not have regular contact with Europeans until 1652, when the Netherlands' Jan van Riebeeck and other employees of the Dutch East India Company (Dutch: Verenigde Oost-indische Compagnie, VOC) were sent to the Cape to establish a way-station for ships travelling to the Dutch East Indies, and the Redout Duijnhoop (later replaced by the Castle of Good Hope). The city grew slowly during this period, as it was hard to find adequate labour. This labour shortage prompted the city to import slaves from Indonesia and Madagascar. Many of these became ancestors of the first Cape Coloured communities. During the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic wars, the Netherlands was repeatedly occupied by France, and Great Britain moved to take control of Dutch colonies. Britain captured Cape Town in 1795, but the Cape was returned to the Netherlands by Nobel Square at the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront. In the 1948 national elections, the National Party won on a platform of apartheid (racial segregation) under the slogan of "swart gevaar". This led to the Group Areas Act, which classified all areas according to race. Formerly multi-racial suburbs of Cape Town were either purged of unlawful residents or demolished. The most infamous example of this in Cape Town was District Six. After it was declared a whites-only region in 1965, all housing there was demolished and over 60,000 residents were forcibly removed.[6] Many of these residents were relocated to the Cape Flats and Lavendar Hill. Under apartheid, the Cape was considered a "Coloured labour preference area", to the exclusion of "Bantus", i.e. blacks. Cape Town was home to many leaders of the anti-apartheid movement. On Robben 2 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Island, a former penitentiary island 10 kilometres from the city, many famous political prisoners were held for years. In one of the most famous moments marking the end of apartheid, Nelson Mandela made his first public speech in decades on 11 February 1990 from the balcony of Cape Town City Hall hours after being released. His speech heralded the beginning of a new era for the country, and the first democratic election was held four years later, on 27 April 1994. Nobel Square in the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront features statues of South Africa's four Nobel Peace Prize winners - Albert Luthuli, Desmond Tutu, F.W. de Klerk and Nelson Mandela. Since 1994, the city has struggled with problems such as HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, a surge in violent drug-related crime and more recent xenophobic violence. At the same time, the economy has surged to unprecedented levels due to the boom in the tourism and the real estate industries. Cape Town spine jutting southwards into the Atlantic Ocean, ending at Cape Point. There are over 70 peaks above 1,000 feet (300 m) (the American definition of a mountain) within Cape Town's official city limits. Many of the suburbs of Cape Town are on the large plain of the Cape Flats, which joins the peninsula to the mainland. The Cape Flats lie on what is known as a rising marine plain, consisting mostly of sandy geology which shows that at one point Table Mountain itself was an island. Climate Geography A NASA satellite image of Cape Town and its environment taken by a Landsat satellite in February 2000 The Cape Peninsula has a Mediterranean climate with well-defined seasons. In winter, which lasts from May to September, large cold fronts come across from the Atlantic Ocean with heavy precipitation and strong north-westerly winds. The winter months are cool, with an average minimum temperature of 7 °C (45 °F). Most of the city's annual rainfall occurs in wintertime, but due to the mountainous topography of the city, rainfall amounts for specific areas can vary dramatically. The suburb of Newlands which is to the south of the city is the wettest place in South Africa. The valleys and coastal plains average 515 millimetres (20 in) of rain per annum, while mountain areas can average as much as 1,500 millimetres (60 in) per annum. Summer, which lasts from November to March, is warm and dry. The Peninsula gets frequent strong winds from the south-east, known locally as the Cape Doctor, because it blows away pollution and cleans the air. The southeasterly wind is caused by a high-pressure system which sits in the South Atlantic to the west of Cape Town, known as the South-Atlantic High. Summer temperatures are mild, Cape Town seen from Spot satellite The centre of Cape Town is located at the northern end of the Cape Peninsula. Table Mountain forms a dramatic backdrop to the city bowl, with its plateau over 1,000 m (3,300 ft) high; it is surrounded by near-vertical cliffs, Devil's Peak and Lion's Head. Sometimes a thin strip of cloud forms over the mountain, and owing to its appearance, it is colloquially known as the "tablecloth". The peninsula consists of a dramatic mountainous 3 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia with an average maximum of 26 °C (79 °F). The only times when Cape Town can be uncomfortably hot is when the Berg Wind, meaning "mountain wind" blows from the Karoo interior for a couple weeks in February or early March.

Cape town's local government is the City of Cape Town, which is a metropolitan municipality. Cape Town is governed by a 210-member city council, which reports to a 28-member executive council. The executive council, in turn, is presided over by a city manager and an executive mayor. The city is divided into 105 electoral wards; each ward directly elects one member of the council, whilst the other 105 councillors are elected by a partylist proportional representation system. The mayor is chosen by the city council. In the most recent local government elections, the Democratic Alliance was the largest single party with 90 of the 210 seats on the council, ahead of the African National Congress's 81 seats, but with no party holding a majority. A subsequent by-election has increased the DA's seats to 91.[8] The DA has now increased its majority, by introducing the Independent Democrats (South Africa) to the coalition, and so the DA-led council now has a majority of 22 seats. Mayor Helen Zille of the Democratic Alliance resigned on 29 April 2009 as a result of her election to the Western Cape Provincial Parliament; Deputy Mayor Grant Haskin will serve as Acting Mayor until a new mayor is elected. 4 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia school.

Recently, oil explorers have discovered oil and natural gas off the coast in the Atlantic Ocean.[12] The Western Cape is an important tourist region in South Africa; the tourism industry accounts for 9.8% of the GDP of the province and employs 9.6% of the province's workforce. In 2004, over 1.5 million international tourists visited the area.[13] The mining industry in Cape Town has been booming for the last 6 years. 6000 miners are now employed in the mining industry since 2002. The city was recently named as the most entrepreneurial city in South Africa, with the percentage of Capetonians pursuing business opportunities almost three times higher than the national average. Those aged between 18-64 were 190% more likely to pursue new business, whilst in Johannesburg, the same demographic group was only 60% more likely than the national average to pursue a new business.[14] Economy The main entrance to the Cape Town International Convention Centre Cape Town is the economic centre of the Western Cape and serves as the regional manufacturing centre. It also has the primary harbour and airport in the Western Cape. The large government presence in the city, both as the capital of the Western Cape and the seat of the National Parliament, has led to increased revenue and growth in industries that serve the government. Cape Town hosts many conferences, particularly in the new Cape Town International Convention Centre, which opened in June 2003.

The city has several notable cultural attractions. The Victoria & Alfred Waterfront, built on top of part of the docks of the Port of Cape Town, is one of the city's most popular shopping venues, with several hundred shops and the Two Oceans Aquarium.[21][22] Part of the charm of the V&A, as it is locally known, is that the Port continues to operate and visitors can watch ships enter and leave. The V&A also hosts the Nelson Mandela Gateway, through which ferries depart for Robben Island.[23] It is possible to take a ferry from the V&A to Hout Bay, Simon's Town and the Cape Fur Seal colonies on Seal and Duiker Islands.

Reaching the top of the mountain can be achieved either by hiking up, or by taking the Table Mountain Cableway. Cape Point is recognised as the dramatic headland at the end of the Cape Peninsula.[16] Many tourists also drive along Chapman's Peak Drive, a narrow road that links Noordhoek with Hout Bay, for the views of the Atlantic Ocean and nearby mountains. It is possible to either drive or hike up Signal Hill for closer views of the City Bowl and Table Mountain.[17] Many tourists also visit Cape Town's beaches, which are popular with local residents.[18] Due to the city's unique geography, it is possible to visit several different beaches in the same day, each with a different setting and atmosphere.

In 2004, it handled 3,161 ships and 9.2 million tonnes of cargo.[44] Simon's Town Harbour on the False Bay coast of the Cape Peninsula is the main base of the South African Navy. 10 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Minibus taxis are the standard form of transport for the majority of the population who cannot afford private vehicles.[45] Although essential, these taxis are often poorly maintained and are frequently not roadworthy. These taxis make frequent unscheduled stops to pick up passengers, which can cause accidents.[46][47] With the high demand for transport by the working class of South Africa, minibus taxis are often filled over their legal passenger allowance, making for high casualty rates when minibuses are involved in accidents. Minibuses are generally owned and operated in fleets, and interoperator violence flares up from time to time, especially as turf wars occur over lucrative taxi routes.[48] Cape Town References [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] "City of Cape Town, 2006 Local Government Elections: Seat Calculation Summary" (PDF).

I have some new growth, it's waking up. But it seems to have lots of buds, but very few leaves. should I worry?
(I put this on the fruits forum, but got no response)
My cherimoyas flowers usually come out first followed by vegetative growth. If this is a new tree for you and you have a young tree, don't forget to train it while it is young. You want some low primary branches so that hand pollination and harvesting is easier when the tree gets larger. Cherimoyas grow very tall vertically if not trained properly.
Simon, I have 6 seedlings I germinated back in October. Should I pinch off the tops to encourage branching? I knew to do this with my avocado seedling as I knew the growth habit I don't know much about cherimoya seedlings. The are about triple the size in height since this pic was taken.
Thanks for your advice about cherimoyas!
Hey marinfla, I would definitely top your cherimoya tree leaving three or four nodes or leaves on each side of the tree. Sometimes not all the internodes will sprout a branch so that is why I would leave so many on each side. I use wire to form and shape the branches. I tie the branches so that the lowest two or three branches on each side are almost parallel to the ground.
It really depends on how you want the final shape of your tree to look like but I would definitely try to keep all main branches and their laterals within arms reach.
My 2 cents:
1 I'd put those seedlings in deep(15"-18") pots. Cherimoyas have tap root( important on early stages of development to keep all the roots).
2. wait till the main trunk is about 5/8" in diameter and then follow simon_grow's advice.
good luck,
Simon, I'd love to see a picture of your trained tree. I have an atemoya that I am starting to shape this year - it's mostly just a stick right now. I haven't found a lot of information on what kind of shape is desirable for them. Just vague comments on keeping them small. I saw some indication that a modified central leader was the right shape to aim for, but haven't seen any pictures of a well trained specimen. I wonder how similar the shape of the cherimoya and atemoya is?
Here's a good description of the training/pruning process for a cherimoya:
The actual starting height for topping the initial whip should be up to you, based on whether it's growing in a container or the ground, your needs, etc., but the rest of the ideas are general enough to apply to all.
You were right! Lot's o'leaves popping out!
here are my pierce and booth chirimoya they are about 8' tall after pruning. they are blooming big time. This is their second year in the ground and I expect a good crop but in the first two years I've only harvest 8 fruits. Don't forget to hand pollinate. I'm very lazy about this but this year I'm going to make a real effort. I was told that I live in a chirimoya belt so I don't have to hand pollinate.
Chaffee is 1 variety of cherimoya
Here is a link that might be useful: Cherimoya hand - pollination
Hello Milque toast, just wondering why you recommend waiting until the main trunk is 5/8 inch before topping? I'm still trying to learn all I can.
I used to have a beautiful cherimoya tree that I did not train properly and it was very difficult to hand pollinate. The tree has since died and I have moved into my first house and I only have two small grafted Cherimoyas and several varieties of seedlings. I've just started to train one of my Cherimoyas and I will post pics when I get a chance.
The training technique I described above was learned from an old man with the most beautiful perfectly shaped tree. His tree had a very very thick trunk and was no taller than about 6 feet and was about 12 feet wide. His fruit were perfect but the tree was just unbelievably beautiful. He had two trees and they were both shaped perfectly.
Jeff, what a beautiful tree you have. I can't wait until my tree gets some size on it. Both my grafted Cherimoyas have flowers on them but I'm not going to hand pollinate because I want the tree to establish its roots and grow stronger.
James-hoon, your tree sounds like its very similar to mine. I just topped it and started to train the new branches that are coming out of the internodes. Mine is also a Dr White, one of my favorite varieties. Some people think Dr White is too sweet but I love sweet fruit.

His latest statement, in a Washington Post op-ed, warns of a wave of legislation pending across the US that could discriminate against the LGBT community.
Two Democrats offer a glimmer of hope to Senate Republicans looking to revive a bill that would put the FCC's rules preserving an open Internet into law, but with key differences. But there are major sticking points.
CEO Tim Cook says Apple is "deeply disappointed" in law's passage, and other tech luminaries flex their economic muscle to put pressure on the state.
Legislators rejected a bill requiring device makers like Apple to include antitheft software on smartphones sold in the state. Their reason: It would be bad for business.
Major legislative proposals to the government's surveillance programs -- specifically those that gather bulk call data on US residents -- are expected to be revealed this week.
More than three dozen tech leaders speak up, joining Apple, Salesforce and Yelp honchos in criticizing so-called religious freedom laws being considered across the country.
Passed by Turkey's parliament, the bill would allow the government to cut off access to any site without the need for court approval, says the Wall Street Journal.
Technically Incorrect: Monday sees the launch of the XM42, which claims to be the first ever legally available portable flamethrower.
With a key, spying-related section of the Patriot Act up for reauthorization, tech heavyweights team up with other groups in outlining "essential" changes to US surveillance policies.
Despite privacy concerns, committee passes bill that encourages US companies to share information about security breaches with each other and government agencies.

2003 Honda Pilot Question: Timing Belt Change
Best Answer
dandd September 07, 2009, 23:20Master
About $1000 is what it really costs. It is a 6-7 hour + job depending on the options you have and factory quality parts are not cheap, the belt is $35, the pump is $130, then coolant is about $25.
Answer #2Visitor, September 06, 2010, 01:51
$1100.00 for genuine replacement parts.(highly rec.)
Answer #3Visitor, October 01, 2010, 14:03
I paid $667.00 at the Honda Dealership with Honda Parts.
ReplyVisitor, January 07, 2011, 14:57
what dealership location did you take it to?
Answer #4Visitor, October 01, 2010, 23:37
depending if it is factory or after market parts, should run 600-800(but you should do your cam seals and crank seal too, your already there)
Answer #5geoffsweb September 21, 2011, 13:28Rookie
I'm at 150K miles on my 2003 Pilot (I'm original owner). Figure it's time to get the timing belt and water pump, etc taken care of. I just called my local Honda dealer and they told me $895 + tax. So I called my mom & pops place and they told me $575 + tax... and they normally cut me a break if I pay cash.

AFP PHOTO / Saul LOEB (Photo credit should read SAUL LOEB/AFP/Getty Images) Obama's State of the Union address last night provoked a mixed response from his conservative critics. Here are some of the responses to his speech: Indian Gov. Mitch Daniels blamed Obama for the divisive politics, Fox News reported. No feature of the Obama presidency has been sadder than its constant efforts to divide us, to curry favor with some Americans by castigating others. Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney attacked Obama for his failed leadership, CBS News reported. Tonight will mark another chapter in the misguided policies of the last three years— and the failed leadership of one man. Florida Sen. Marco Rubio was extremely disturbed by the SOTU, the Associated Press reported. I'm actually very disturbed by the speech tonight. The president is on the verge of committing economic malpractice. Herman Cain, who delivered the Tea Party response to Obama's speech wanted more facts, according to Politico. With all due respect to the president, some of us are not stupid. The state of the union is not good. We want common-sense solutions. That's how we do it outside of Washington, and we happen to believe we need more common-sense solutions inside of Washington...We did not hear the real facts about our state of the union. Facts don't lie. More from GlobalPost: Obama's top 5 foreign policy comments during the SOTU

"This app made my life so easy. I have been dreaming of an app like this till I finally found it :D"
- Shehzad Manzoor
"Great app. Simple and effective. So useful, motivates me to do my tasks and the home screen widget looks best when it's quite see through. :)"
- Charlotte Murnane
"Motivate me everyday. Have tried many similar ones but this is the best. Its widget is simple and easy to.use."
- Jeff Chuh
Welcome Goal Achiever!
This Apps' mission is to encourage, support, and reward you for taking meaningful daily action towards the attainment of your goals, big or small. To help you take consistent action long after the excitement you felt when you committed to a worthy goal has faded.
One of the reasons you might not be successful at reaching a goal is because you did not take consistent and sustained action for a long enough period of time.
This checklist was especially created to help you take daily consistent action over time.
"For changes to be of any true value, they've got to be lasting and consistent." - Tony Robbins
"...we have to make good decisions, use discipline and be consistent for long enough to see the results we desire." - Darren Hardy
The idea is simple:
1. Enter the actions you know you have to take daily to reach a goal. Like: Workout for 40 minutes, make 10 cold calls to prospective customers, send out 10 resumes to potential employers, write at least 10 pages for project, etc.
2. Put the widget on your home screen. When an action is not yet completed it shows up in bright colored text. Once you check an action off the list the text becomes a lighter color.
3. Your daily mission now becomes to see the list go from bright (in the morning) to gray (before going to bed). You can instantly see how far down your action list you are at a glance. This color change also signals that you had a successful day. A day in which you accomplished all the actions you needed to take you one day closer to your ultimate goals.
A successful day, with all items checked, results in a green check mark placed on the calendar. Watching a series of check marks fill up the calendar, helps motivate you to stay consistent.
There is an indicator on the main list screen that shows the number of consecutive successful days. This is your success streak. A streak with seven or more days turns this indicator green. This gives additional motivation for consistency.
The home screen widget also serves as a constant reminder of the actions you need to take today. Each time you use your Android device you'll see the list and the amount of actions remaining.
In short: Don't go to bed if your list is not completed. If bedtime is near and your list is not close to completion, get to work on what is left on the list!
Note: This version has a limit of 2 goals.and an unlimited number of actions.
If you have any questions or comments send an email to:
