Archive for the 'Morton Homer Magie' tag
Otto Zachow, Charles Cotta, and the origins of four-wheel drive
Perusing the Wisconsin Historical Society's image archive recently, we came across the above photo of a rather significant event: Inventor Otto Zachow sits on the back of the shaft-drive steam-powered Z&B, his first four-wheel-drive vehicle, in Clintonville, Wisconsin. Indeed, Zachow and his brother-in-law, William Besserdich, would within a couple of years found the Four Wheel Drive Automobile Company there in Clintonville (known in an early iteration as the Badger Four Wheel Drive Automobile Company) and become the world's largest producer of four-wheel-drive vehicles. Yet the Z&B was not the first four-wheel-drive vehicle, as stated in the photo's caption.
Let's start with the date. Wisconsin Historical Society places it circa 1909, though most sources claim the Z&B was built in 1908. From Zachow and Besserdich's patents (U.S. patents 907,940 and 882,986, both issued in 1908), that much of their work in developing the four-wheel-drive design seems to have taken place in the summer of 1907.
That year proved to be a busy one for four-wheel-drive vehicles. In April of that year, two residents of Bakersfield, California – Morton Homer Magie and Charles Nelson Winters – patented their own shaft-drive four-wheel-drive vehicle (U.S. Patent 849,483), one which they'd allegedly been working on since 1904 (and which also featured four-wheel steering); the actual working vehicle itself didn't come about until July 1908, and though the Road Runner Auto Company was incorporated to manufacture the design, those plans never came to fruition. A month before Magie and Winters got around to filing their patent, however, Ernest Rosenberger began production of his own four-wheel-drive vehicle in Mankato, Minnesota; it variously went by the names Four Traction, Mankato and Kato and remained in production through early 1913.
But 1907 was fairly late in four-wheel-drive history. Another Californian, Charles W. Van Winkle, of Farmington, filed his patent (U.S. Patent 764,646) for a chain-drive four-wheel-drive vehicle in July 1904 and apparently built it the next year before transferring his patents to the Stockton Four Drive Auto Company, which apparently never produced anything based on those patents.
Preceding him by more than three years, however, was Charles E. Cotta, of Shannon, Illinois, who filed his patent for a chain-drive four-wheel-drive vehicle (U.S. Patent 652,949) in January 1900 (followed by U.S. Patent 700,175 in October of that year, both of them also four-wheel-steering designs). Cotta built his first steam-powered Cottamobile the next year, had four more built in 1902, then organized the Cotta Automobile Company in Rockford, Illinois, in 1903, the same year he sold the rights to his patents to the Four Wheel Drive Wagon Company in Milwaukee. Four Wheel Drive then began production of automobiles and trucks the next year and remained in business through 1906. Cotta, meanwhile, started the Cotta Gear Company in Rockford, a transmission manufacturer that later supplied gearboxes to F.W.D.
And that's not counting the 1908 Daimler-built Dernburg-Wagen, the 1907 Duplex, the 1903 Spyker, the 1899 Lohner-Porsche, the 1824 Burstall & Hill, or several other pre-1908 four-wheel-drive vehicles.
Not to take anything away from Zachow, Cotta, or their contemporaries. Engineering a four-wheel-drive system remains more complicated than it looks even today, more than a century later, and their designs often improved on existing designs, whether deliberately or by happenstance. Zachow and Cotta, then, can certainly be considered pioneers in the development of four-wheel drive, but certainly not the first men to develop it.

Jacks tame Bears
The South Dakota State wrestling team, propelled by two pins, tamed the Bears 28-13 on Friday night in Frost Arena.
Instead of the traditional 125-pound start, the two teams drew a starting weight of 165 pounds.
Joe Brewster opened versus Iver Sandoval. Brewster put together an early lead with a takedown in the first period, a lead he would not relinquish. After a few more takedowns and an escape, Brewster scored a 9-5 decision. The Jacks started the dual on top, once again.
At 174 pounds, John Nething II scored another decision for the Jacks versus Jesse Nielsen. Nething II scored a first-period takedown for a 2-0 lead, but was tied at the end of the second. In the third, Nething II escaped for the lead and added a point for riding time advantage for a 4-2 decision.
The Jacks formed a trend, as Shea Nolan opened his match with a takedown versus Keith Johnson. The two battled three periods, alternating takedown attempts, but in the end Nolan's second-period reversal was the difference in a 4-2 decision.
Northern Colorado found the scoreboard in the fourth match with a 16-2 major decision at 197 pounds.
The Bears added a decision at 285 and the two teams entered intermission with the Jacks in front 9-7.
"We were a little upset after the first five matches," head coach Chris Bono said. "We did not feel like we wrestled a complete seven minutes. That is what we preach. We do not want to hold on or protect our lead, we want to wrestle the entire match and let the outcome decide itself. The second half of the dual was much better."
Aaron Pickrel showed his senior leadership at 125 pounds versus Abe Fox. In need of a momentum shift, Pickrel used a takedown, nearfall combination to amass 15 points and only allowed one escape for a 15-1 major decision.
In the 133-pound match, Brance Simms built a big lead with six takedowns in the first period. In the second, Simms was one point away from a tech fall when he put Brandon Gallagher on his back and scored a pin. The result forced Northern Colorado into three must-win matches.
At 141, Ben Gillette posted a sound 9-3 decision versus Nick Adams. The result put the dual out of reach, as SDSU led 22-7 with only two matches remaining.
"Ben is getting better and it showed," said Bono. "Conditioning took over and he believed he could win. He went out, wrestled all seven minutes, his conditioning took over in the third period and he was able to get the win."
Dustin Walraven did not let up in the next match versus Nick Alspaugh. Walraven, ranked No. 31 in the first NCAA coaches' panel rankings, built an 8-0 lead through two periods, but scored another Jackrabbit pin late in the second.
"Walraven had the whole town of Huron here, so he had to perform," Bono said. "He is coming along nicely and we need to prepare him for the home stretch."
The Bears won the final match by pin, but it was not enough
as SDSU won 28-13.
"We wrestled better," said Bono. "We wrestled hard. Some of the positions that we did not score in last meet, we went out and scored points."
SDSU upped its record to 5-10 overall, 1-3 in the Western Wrestling Conference and leapfroged the Bears in the standings. Northern Colorado dropped to 1-8, 0-3 in the conference.
The Jacks continue the five-dual homestand in its final WWC contest versus No. 25 North Dakota State. Dual time is set for 7 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 15, in Frost Arena.
"We have a tough weekend coming up," Bono said. "We want the guys to fight for seven minutes. If they do that, we will be happy."

NEWPORT–It was tough day to be a member of the Falcons on Thursday as both the baseball and softball teams had a rough go of it against BFA St. Albans.
On the softball diamond, the Comets scored one in the first, five in the second and would go on to add thirteen more runs in the final four innings to defeat the Falcons 19-3.
Despite the loss, coach Leslie Dunn was upbeat about the compete level of her team.
"I said to them in the sixth, 'this is going to be our final inning, so let's just go out and get one more run' and they got two, it was just awesome," she said.
Women's Soccer-Tuesday Nights
The ladies from Belli Doni Pottery captured another Womens' League crown by defeating arch-rivals Fortin Transportation in the finals by a score of six to three. Belli Doni reached the finals by taking the number two seed overall and upending the women from Muenier Construction in the semi-finals. Fortin Transportation who took the regular season crown for the second straight session with 23 out of a possible 24 points took down upstart Balls-O-Fire in their semi-final match.
CO-ED Soccer- Thursday Nights/Sunday Mornings
MORRISVILLE – The Lake Region Rangers took to the course for their first meet of the season at the Copley Country Club on Thursday afternoon. Matt Morin, last year's Division 3 State Medalist, looks for another strong run in his senior campaign.
The opening meet of the season didn't fare well for the Rangers however. Morin shot a 4 over 39 to pace the squad. Carl Oberg shot a 50, while Connor Gaboriault and Holden Poirier each placed with scores of 56.
NEWPORT–In just their second match this season, the North Country girls' tennis team improved to 1-1 with a 6-1 triumph over Lake Region Wednesday afternoon.
Coach Marie George, looking to get some of her younger players some guaranteed playing time, had the match kick off with the numbers one, four and five singles and number two doubles taking the courts.
In Lake Region's only win on the day, Kelly LeBlanc bested Rhiannon Rosamillia in number one singles action when after splitting the first two sets 6-4, 4-6, she won 11-9 in the race to ten tie breaker.
NEWPORT–Taylor Blake pitched a two hitter in her first varsity start as the Falcon bats erupted, driving in seventeen runs to fuel North Country's 17-2 win over Rice.
"She did a great job out there," said coach Leslie Dunn of Blake. "I think she was a little nervous, but as the game went on her location improved."
The lop-sided affair lasted just six innings ,as the fifteen run rule kicked in and mercifully ended the contest for the Green Knights.
NEWPORT–Wyatt Prue pitched 5 2/3 impressive innings in his first varsity start, but North Country had a hard time getting runs in behind him and the Falcons fell late to the Green Knights of Rice 8-1.
"He had appeared three times in relief, so we decided to give him a start," said Brian Bonvechio of Prue. "I thought he was very strong out there."
Prue also had a productive day at the plate with two doubles and the lone Falcon RBI of the game.
In the first, with the wind blowing out to right, Jon Boyer walked, followed by a double by Nate Stewart to put runners on 2nd and 3rd.
Morristown)- Trailing 10-4 entering the final inning the Lake Region Lady Rangers epitomized the ole' saying "never say die," plating 5 runs to make the score 10-9, and had the tying run on second base before finally succumbing to defending state champion Peoples Academy on Tuesday.
"I don't know that I've ever been quite so happy after a loss," quipped Ranger coach Matt Tinker. "These girls just wouldn't give up, and I couldn't be prouder of the effort they gave."
MORRISVILLE–Kyle Perry gave up six runs in the first, and the Peoples Academy Wolves never looked back, as fifteen runners crossed home plate in Lake Region's 15-0 loss on Tuesday.
Despite a rough first inning, coach Eric Degree was impressed with Perry's ability to regroup and focus.
"Kyle's mental toughness was outstanding. They (PA) have a good hitting team, and they earned their runs in the first, but he was able to bounce back and throw some good innings for us."
JERICHO–Having to forfeit their second doubles match due to low numbers, the North Country boys tennis team started out their afternoon already down one match to nothing to the MMU Cougars.
With the momentum against them, they promptly went out and won three of their first four matches to take a three to two advantage with two matches left to play.
Number one singles player Travers Parsons-Grayson had a close first set, winning 7-5, and then had an easier time of it in the second, winning 6-3 to top Dave Brown in straight sets.
ST. ALBANS–The NC track team was led by Riley Simoneau, Jason Webster, Haley Tetreault and Dylan Columbia in a ten-team meet hosted by MVU on Thursday.
Simoneau won the shot put with a personal best of 43' 1." He was followed by Bubba Collins in third.
Webster led a four man sweep of the discus with a toss of 123' (approaching his state championship form.) He was followed by Simoneau, Barry Shelton and Josh Brien.
Haley Tetreault finished second in the 1500 to NE champion Ellie Purrier, in a time of 5:09. Tetreault came back and won the 800 by a wide margin.

The Utah Board of Regents has approved second-tier tuition increases for nine higher education institutions in the state.
The regents previously approved a first-tier tuition increase of 3.5 percent, with 0.5 percent dedicated to student financial aid at the state institutions.
Recommended by the Utah Student Association, the 0.5 percent specially earmaked by the board of regents will generate nearly $1 million per year for financial aid.
The presidents of the state's nine higher education institutions proposed the second-tier tuition increases at a special board of regents meeting on April 2.
The hikes approved by the regents include:
College of Eastern Utah - 4.5 percent, second tier, and 8 percent, total, for $96 per year.
University of Utah - undergraduate, 6.1 percent and 9.6 percent, $240 per year; graduate, 8 percent and 11.5 percent, $230 per year.
Utah State University - freshmen, 9 percent and 12.5 percent, $265 per year; undergraduate, 6 percent and 9.5 percent, $202 per year; graduate, 20 percent and 23.5 percent, $435 per year.
Weber State University - 5.5 and 9 percent, $161 per year.
Southern Utah University - 5.5 percent and 9 percent, $156 per year.
Snow College - 6 percent and 9.5 percent, $109 per year.
Dixie College - lower division 1.5 percent and 5 percent, $63 per year; upper division, 2.5 percent and 6 percent, $102 per year.
Utah Valley State College - lower division, 16 percent and 19.5 percent, $301 per year; upper division, 5.5 percent and 9 percent, $161 per year.
Salt Lake Community College - 5.5 percent and 9 percent, $129 per year.
In addition, the regents approved a $2 per credit hour surcharge at USU for all business and engineering college classes along with a new $35 per year student fee at the U of U to help pay for increased fuel and power costs.
It is understood that the fuel and power fee will be eliminated when energy costs go down and/or additional funding is provided by the Utah Legislature, according to the regents.
The Legislature required an additional $2 million be raised in graduate tuition, which accounts for part of the increases approved at Tuesday's meeting.
"We are always reluctant to raise tuition," pointed out regents chair Charles Johnson. "But with state dollars tighter than they've been for 15 years and the need to maintain quality, we really had no choice. Even with these tuition increases, budgets are being cut."
"As painful as the tuition increases are, when compared with other states in our region or nationally, the cost of higher education in Utah remains very affordable," noted Cecelia Foxley.
"For instance, our tuition is slightly below the average for our region at the four year institutions and research universities, and at or slightly above average at the other institutions," added the commissioner of higher education.
Under the truth in tuition bill adopted by the 2001 Utah Legislature, the presidents of the colleges and universities were required to provide information and conduct public meetings on the increases before proposing second-tier tuition to the board, according to the regents.
The presidents conducted the hearings at the institutions between March 20 and April 1. Without exception, the presidents reported to the regents that the proposals had student support
The revenues raised through the second-tier tuition increases will go toward funding a variety of purposes, according to the board of regents.
Examples identified by the board include replacing some money cut by the Utah Legislature, providing student computer labs, increasing general education courses, reducing bottlenecks in classes that slow student progress, library acquisitions and expanding faculty as well as counselors.

Good day!
About ur 3rd question, you must not unzip the .iso file. It won't work if you burnt the iso just like a regular file, so start your favourite CD-writing software and find "Burn image" or "Burn CD iso image" option. It could be hidden somewhere because people usually don't need to use this option.
Sometimes you will need to change the file-type filter to *.* else you won't be able to see your .iso. The resulting CD will be bootable, you don't need to specify that feature separately.
Don't unpack or unzip the archive, burn the ISO as described above else you will lose the bootability.
About ur 1rst and 2nd question, it is possible. But it's not really a complete Linux Distro. It is just a Linux-like environment for Windows. Most newbie use this way. Cygwin is the name what I referring to. You can download and install it at http://www.cygwin.com. For more info about "Cywin": http://www.redhat.com/software/cygwin/
If you really want to use a complete Linux OS, then you must use ur 3rd question.
For God be the Glory!

UN climate panel confirms low global warming potential of HFO-1234yf
February 3, 2014 | Lindsay Frost
Honeywell announced today that the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC; Geneva, Switzerland), a scientific body established by the United Nations, confirmed that Honeywell's low-global-warming automobile refrigerant HFO-1234yf has a global warming potential (GWP) of less than 1. This is below the GWP of carbon dioxide (CO2). GWP is a relative measure of how much heat a greenhouse gas traps in the atmosphere, the company says. "The IPCC report confirms that HFO-1234yf has a lower global warming potential than carbon dioxide,"...

Working at home isn't all that different from working in an office—there are just far fewer people around. In either place, having the right tools makes the difference. So it's really no surprise that I'm pretty happy with Windows 7 and Office 2010. They don't get the actual writing done for me, but they sure help me with everything else. Want to see how? Here we go!
For me, it's all about Word. I've pinned the Word icon to the Windows 7 taskbar, so it's always easily accessible. But what's really cool is that I no longer have to hunt through my file folders to find the last documents I've been working on. Instead, I can right-click my Word icon on the taskbar and see the last ten Word documents I've opened. These Jump Lists mean I can open any recent document with just two clicks: right-click the icon, and click the document. You'll find Jump Lists for all your Office programs, as well as other items you open regularly, such as websites, songs, and photos.
Jump Lists make emailing a document easier too. Instead of hunting around for the right file to attach to an Outlook message, I simply create the message, then right-click my Word icon to display the Jump List. From there, I can drag the document into my message. That's it!
Like a lot of writers, I'm pretty good at procrastination. Sure, I can schedule time to work on something in Outlook. But now, I take that one step further by dragging the document itself onto my calendar. That way, I don't just get a reminder of when I've scheduled some work time because the document I need to work on is right there, too. No more excuses!
I usually have multiple documents open at any given time—which used to be confusing when I toggled between them to verify information or when I copied and pasted from one to another. Thumbnail previews have really streamlined how I work. Now, all I do is rest my mouse pointer over the Word icon on my taskbar to see a thumbnail preview of each open document. To view one of them in its actual size, I just point to the thumbnail preview for the document I want to see—and magically, everything else fades out, so I get an uncluttered view.
Do you ever get frustrated by how long it takes to perfectly resize two windows so you can see them side by side? Snap takes care of this for you automatically. Just drag one window to one edge of the screen and then drag the other window to the opposite edge of the screen. Or you can use the shortcut: When you're in a document, press the Windows logo key and then press the Right Arrow key or Left Arrow key to snap your document to one side. Go to your second doc and repeat. As far as I'm concerned, it's the most wonderful thing ever.
To get my work done, I sometimes have to log on to a client's network, or work at their site. Windows 7 makes it easy to manage the details, so I don't have to waste time changing settings depending on where I am. For example, Connect Now guides me through setting up a new connection. Do it once and forget about it—you're automatically connected if the wireless connection is detected. Similarly, I don't worry about printing documents to the wrong printer anymore either, because location-aware printing remembers which printer I use in my home office, and which I use at each client's. So whenever I move from one place to another, Windows automatically connects me to the printer I need. And the best thing is that it's simple to verify which network I'm on, just by clicking the connection icon on my taskbar.
As a writer, I don't spend much time in front of an audience. But on the rare occasions that I have to make a presentation, setup is so speedy that there's less time for stage fright. First of all, sleep and resume is just, well, fast. I open my laptop, click, and boom—I'm where I need to be. Even my connections are automatically taken care of. When I'm done, I close the lid. That's it.
The other way Windows 7 makes presentations painless is that I don't have to fumble around with different settings. Windows Mobility Center makes sure my PC won't go to sleep or display notifications mid-talk. When you open it up you'll see all the settings you might need to change when you're on the go. First, on the Presentation Settings* tile, I click Turn on. Then, I plug in the projector, and on the External Display tile, I click Connect display to change my display settings. That's it! I'm connected to the projector.
*You'll need Windows 7 Professional or Windows 7 Ultimate to change presentation settings.
And speaking of presentations, Broadcast Slide Show lets you broadcast them over the web. Let's say you're giving a presentation with PowerPoint 2010, but your audience isn't in one room. Here's what you do: On the Slide Show tab, in the Start Slide Show group, click Broadcast Slide Show. This way, you create a link to send to your audience through email or instant message. When you're ready, give them a call or set up a conference call. They click the link—and it's like everyone is there in person.
Backup and Restore in Windows 7 makes backing up easy because you can set it up and forget about it. I set up my PC to back up once a week to my external hard drive. Plus, when I'm working at a client site, I can back up specific files to their network. This way, everyone has a backup, and there's no guesswork.
And speaking of backups, there's a great way to back up documents in Office. It's saved my bacon on those occasions when I've been working so fast that I've made changes to a document and forgotten to save it—or made too many changes and wanted to revert to a previous draft. With AutoRecover and AutoSave, you can specify how often your PC saves a document automatically, access previous versions of a file, and sometimes even recover a document that wasn't saved in the first place! Learn more about automatically saving and recovering Office files.
It's never a bad thing to have more than one backup. For example, my laptop was stolen a couple of years ago, and a novel I had been working on for three years was on it. When I went to my backup, the file was damaged. I cried for days. Now I use OneDrive to store additional copies of my really important files.
What's really handy is that I can now save files straight from Word—or any Office 2010 program—to my OneDrive account. Here's how: Click the File tab, click Save & Send, and then click Save to Web. Then, enter your Microsoft account email address and password. This is a quick and easy way to share files with other people, too. It's super handy when I'm working on really big documents and don't want to stuff my client's inbox. And with web versions of the programs, I can even work in those documents on a PC that doesn't have Office installed.

On November 7, the First Committee of the United Nations General Assembly voted 157-0 (with 18 abstentions) in favor of Resolution L.11 that will finalize the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) in March 2013.
China, the United Kingdom, and Germany all voted to move the historic measure toward passage.
As we have reported, when the treaty was being deliberated in July, the United States was the only obstacle preventing the global arms control regulations from being imposed on the world.
Miraculously, however, all the points of the agreement Secretary Clinton found so distasteful in the summer were made so much more palatable after President Obama's reelection, and every single attack on the right to bear arms remains in the version of the treaty approved on November 7.
Within hours of his securing his reelection, President Obama placed a late night call to the U.S. United Nations delegation ordering them to vote in favor of a passage of L.11.
As soon as news of the U.S. policy 180 was confirmed, a new round of negotiations on the treaty was scheduled for March 18-28 at the UN headquarters in New York City.
That was immediately followed by a press release sent out early the next morning from the United Nations General Assembly's First Committee proclaiming the good news of President Obama's go-ahead for the gun grab and setting the agenda for the next gun control conference.
Also kindling discussion among delegations was a draft resolution aimed at building on the progress made toward the adoption of a strong, balanced and effective arms trade treaty. That text would decide to convene the "Final United Nations Conference" for the creation of such a treaty in March 2013.
Also by that resolution, the draft text of the treaty submitted by the conference's president on July 26 would be the basis for future work, without prejudice to the right of delegations to put forward additional proposals on that text.

Guest Post: Now is the Time to Think Long-Term
I've got a guest post up at Get Rich Slowly on why now — when interest rates are very low — is the time to think long-term.
About twenty-five years ago (as an example of long-term thinking), I had a whimsical investment idea: Buy some cheap land and plant hardwood trees. The trees wouldn't be ready to harvest for 100 years or so, but it would have been a cheap investment with (eventually) a fairly large payoff.
It takes a certain perspective to make such a long-term investment. I call it a whimsical idea because I'd never have been able to enjoy the financial return. I was already in my mid-20s at the time. Even if I'd selected the hardwoods for quick maturity, they wouldn't have been ready until I was well into my 90s.
It's related to some of what I've written here before. (In particular, check out How Low Interest Rates Might Save the World and Invest Some of This Cheap Energy.)

Video: Patrick Kane Brings Stanley Cup to Niagara Falls Air Base
BUFFALO, N.Y. - Chicago Blackhawks forward and south Buffalo native Pat Kane brought the Stanley cup to Western New York on Saturday.
Kane and the Blackhawks won the cup this past June by defeating the Boston Bruins.
Kane's first stop was the Niagara Falls Air Reserve Station where he thanked the men and women of the 107th and 914th Airlift Wings for their service.
"I can carry around a Stanley Cup that's 35 lbs or an MVP trophy [but you all] carry our country on your back [and that's] purely amazing," said Kane.
Kane spent two hours signing autographs and posing for pictures with wounded veterans, sled hockey players, and troops preparing to deploy next week.
In South Buffalo, the line to see Kane and cup started forming on Abbott Road at 8 a.m. Kane stopped by Imperial Pizza for lunch and met with more fans.
His final public stop was at the West Seneca Town Rink where he drew the largest and loudest crowd. Kane played hockey there as a kid.
The Kane family will hold a private party on Saturday night. He said he will play a floor hockey tournament with friends before heading to Olympic camp on Sunday.

Cape Town hotels
Great Cape Town Hotel Deals with HotelClub.com!
Even if the entire mixed-blood population of Cape Town suddenly decided to vacate its beaches, towns and mountains for a day, you'd still have no doubt that you're in one of the most multicultural cities in the world.
Located right on the ironically named Cape of Good Hope, where many a European ship came to grief, Cape Town's architecture is evidence enough of that diversity. The Cape Dutch homesteads of the Cape Winelands, neo-Gothic churches of the City Bowl, Muslim minarets of Malay and the many English-inspired Georgian and Victorian buildings are all testament to that.
Not that it would be much fun visiting South Africa's oldest city if you were the only one around. Sure its mountain vistas are breathtakingly beautiful (how cool does Cape Town look from Table Mountain, and vice-versa), but who would provide Cape Flats' gritty jazz or Stellenbosch's top-notch booze? Or who would you watch play rugby (pretty much Cape Town's religion) at the city's famed Newlands Stadium?
The elephant in the room (not literally, although Cape Town is a useful starting point for some of South Africa's famous safaris) is the poverty and urban decay. The result is that Cape Town is the most violent of South Africa's cities (security guards watch you cross the roads). But even the most gangster-ridden towns have their charm – three million people don't visit each year just to sample a springbok fillet.
Cape Town's Top 10
10. Green Market Square Excellent markets are rarely located in the heart of a city's central business district. Greenmarket Square is the exception.
5. Clifton Beach The four coves are unimaginatively named (1, 2, 3 and 4) but the azure waters are truly brilliant. Great White Sharks also like them.
9. South African National Gallery One of the country's most stunning museums is also one of the smallest (Go on, breathe a sigh of relief.)
4. Kirstenbosch National Botanical Gardens The most beautiful garden in Africa is overshadowed by Table-Mountain only in a very literal sense.
8. Cape Point Nature Reserve Most people simply pass through on their way to Cape Point, but they miss out on one of the most beautiful parts of the African continent – which is saying something.
3. Boulders Beach There are penguins here. Very cute penguins.
7. Castle of Good Hope The oldest surviving building in South Africa. Against all odds (and laws of physics) the bell still hangs from its original wooden beams.
2. Robben Island 'South Africa's Alcatraz' is known for housing Nelson Mandela's cell and the turbulent ferry trip necessary to see it.
6. Stellenbosch Tranquil wine tasting tours are only a 30-minute drive from the city centre – just don't volunteer to be the designated driver.
1. Table Mountain Ariel Cableway Not many things could possibly provide more scenic vistas than Cape Town's Table Mountain – unless you count the cableway leading to its peak.
Cape Town History
- Robben Island – Off the coast of Cape Town and used for nearly 400 years to banish and imprison outcasts.

Cape Town Local
Hold on to your handbags – Cape Town is a wild ride of culture, charm and, unfortunately, crime. Most neighbourhoods have undergone rapid (and exceedingly trendy) gentrification, while those that haven't provide great perspective into local history.
The Victoria & Alfred Waterfront is one of Cape Town's most popular tourist destinations. Luckily, most visitors haven't done their research and tend to stick to the Victoria Wharf Shopping Centre. But once you've checked out the Maritime Museum and the 400-odd stores along this strip (yeah, right), head from Quay 5 to Pierhead Jetty. If it's between May and December, you can book a Waterfront Boat Company whale-watching tour at the former. If it's not, a Mitchell's Brewery beer tour at the latter is equally satisfying. Both may have you wanting to wet yourself.
De Waterkant
Sounds like a foreign term for The Waterfront, but that's about all the two neighbourhoods have in common. De Waterkant is a cobbled street enclave reminiscent of New York's Greenwich Village or London's Soho. Charming and full of character, the village contains the Cape Quarter Shopping Centre alongside a plethora of trendy bars and restaurants. Lunch in the village centre is best followed by a walk along Wale Street towards the Bo-Kapp, which holds the highest number of buildings dating beyond 1840. From De Waterkant you can walk to the city centre, but why head back when the village is home to some of Cape Town's most vibrant (read: flamboyant) nightlife?
Although relatively small, central Cape Town is home to more architectural influences than you can poke an African fighting stick at, including Cape Dutch, Georgian, Victorian and 20th Century. The major axis is Adderly Street and lying to the east you will find notable landmarks Castle of Good Hope, Grand Parade and City Hall. Do these quickly, then head west of Adderly for some shopping at vibrant Greenmarket Square and the open-air St George's mall, finishing up on quirky Long Street.
The proximity of Observatory to the University of Cape Town accounts for its particularly eclectic mix of people – as does its proximity to the Groote Schuur Hospital. But Observatory has more to offer than just people-watching, with its quaint Victorian buildings and bohemian vibe making it increasingly popular as a tourist destination. Lower Main Road is where the bohemian night action of 'Obs' is centred, or if you'd rather marvel at celestial bodies rather than human ones, the South African Astronomical Observatory that gives the district its name is a better bet.
Cape Flats
Many visitors choose to pass by Cape Town's most indigenous neighbourhood, but as long as you keep a close rein on your senses (and wallet) it provides a real insight into South Africa's history. Don't hold on to your money too tightly though – the Khayelitsha Craft Market supports the local community by selling unique artworks, and Mzoli's Place does the best hot-slab-of-meet-and-BYO-beer combo in Cape Town. For a more personal experience, Coffeebeans Routes run a jazz tour taking you right into the homes of talented local performers.
Cape Town Eat & Drink
Cape Town is fast gaining a reputation for fine dining. Luckily, prices haven't escalated as quickly, so open your mind (to ostrich and springbok) and fill up your stomach.
221 Waterfront Sushi may not be for everyone, but with the amount of pastry and cheese these guys use, it's likely even raw fish will be a crowd-pleaser.
Aubergine This unpretentious fine dining establishment is the perfect excuse to add 'try springbok fillet' to your Cape Town to-do list.
Den Anker The Belgians do beer and raw ground beef (served on toast) like the South Africans do ostrich fillet.
Maze The name of Gordon Ramsay's Cape Town location could be a gaudy abbreviation of 'amazing' and it would still be worthy of forgiveness.
Planet Restaurant For an out-of-this-world dining experience, head to the Mount Nelson Hotel. The entrance is studded with crystals, and it only gets better.
The Five Flies Five stars for Five Flies. Well, zero flies actually – you'd be hard pressed to glimpse one in here amongst all the suits.
Savoy Cabbage The name sounds out of place in any fine dining scene, but Savoy Cabbage wouldn't be out of place in New York or London.
Belthazar Voted best steak house in South Africa. The most extensive wine by the glass selection just sweetens the deal.
Baia It's usually not a good idea to pay a premium for sweeping outdoor terraces overlooking the harbour – but it's a fun one.
The Roundhouse It's probably best to eat here on your last day in Cape Town, because it's likely nothing you eat afterwards will ever taste as good.
Cape Town Events
Still have energy after New Years? Burn it off at The Cape Minstrels Carnival on 2 January.
Visit the Design Indaba Expo in February for cutting-edge reasons to buy a far bigger suitcase.
Too much jazz in Cape Town? Impossible. The Cape Town International Jazz Festival proves this each March.
The Cape Argus Pick 'n' Pay Cycle Tour in March is one of the biggest sporting events on the calendar. Seriously, over 38,000 people take part.
The Dunhill Symphony of Fire in April has nothing to do with cigarettes and everything to do with fireworks displays (cunning advertising, though – wonder how much longer they'll be able to do that!).
In case you hadn't noticed, Cape Town is a foodie's joy. The Cape Gourmet Food Festival in May is a foodie's heaven.
Fed up with the pretension of wine events? The Wacky Wine Weekend in June is the answer to both your problems – and your sobriety.
Local contestants stand up to US heavyweights in September's Cape Town International Comedy Festival.
October's International Kite Festival really makes you question why every city doesn't hold one of these events.
Rocking the Daisies makes up for its ridiculous name with good music and environmentally friendly sensibilities each October.
Mother City Queer Project kicks off in December with a big gay party in South Africa's big gay capital.
When To Go
Cape Town enjoys a Mediterranean climate, with warm summers and cool winters.
Winter temperatures rarely drop below 10°C (50°F), while summer temps rarely top 32°C (90°F).
Winter brings heavy rainfall, but is also when the Waterfront is less crowded.
What To Miss
Cape Town can be a very dangerous city. Stay in brightly lit streets after dark.
Casinos are for Las Vegas – don't bother with the Grand West.
The Waterfront is full of tourist traps, but rather than avoid it entirely just save any stall-shopping for Greenmarket Square.
Getting Around
For getting to more secluded areas, minibus taxis are commonly used and relatively economical.
Standard taxi cabs are not economical, but are highly recommended at night.
The city centre is small and walking is often the simplest option.
Cape Town Information
As the Republic of South Africa counts down to the 2010 FIFA World Cup with acute anticipation, the eyes of the globe will focus on the nation. If you want to be close to the action be sure to check out one of these great hotels near Green Point Stadium.
One of the beneficial outcomes of the 2010 World Cup no doubt, will be the preponderance of attention paid to attractive Cape Town. The legislative capital city of South Africa and popular tourism hub is as complete a vacation destination as one can conjure.
With enviable beachfront and a vivid milieu in Table Mountain, Cape Town's geography is both idyllic and practical. The Atlantic Ocean provides beautiful coastal scenery and recreation, while a lush, hilly interior endows the area with world class vineyards.
Cape Town is flush with tourist attractions to suit just about every taste. Robben Island may be the most popular and notorious landmark within the city limits. The former penitentiary and foremost symbol of apartheid was where Nelson Mandela spent 18 years of his life.
With a history of formal European settlement that dates back to 1652, when Cape Town was a way station for the powerful Dutch East India Company, the city has a rich architectural heritage. Multicultural Cape Malay Bo-Kaap on the slopes of Signal Hill and peaceful Constantia are the best areas to view the smart Cape Dutch design aesthetic.
Long Street is a funky bohemian lair in the cool City Bowl sector of town. With great bookstores, shops, restaurants and bars, the area is a wonderful reflection of Cape Town's ethnic diversity.
For superior beach time, Cape Town is a paradise. With sandy coastline on the Atlantic Seaboard, False Bay and West Coast, choice is never a problem for those who want to tan in the buff, surf, swim, sail or photograph exotic wildlife. The most popular are Clifton Beach, Camps Bay, St. James and Bloubergstrand.
Victoria & Alfred Waterfront is the principal tourist site in South Africa, with more than 20 million visitors a year. With Table Mountain as a backdrop, the harbour area is replete with restaurants, shops, hotels and some of the most expensive real estate on the continent.
No visit to Cape Town, or South Africa for that matter, is complete without a tour of nearby wine country. Purveyor of some of the best New World wines, the areas around Franschhoek Valley, Stellenbosch and Paarl offer superlative vineyard tours.
Other than the obvious 2010 FIFA World Cup, Cape Town has many regular events on tap for tourism enjoyment.
The Standard Bank Jazzathon and Cape Town Jazz Festival, held in January and March respectively, feature a slew of local and international acts.
Pristine Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens offers free concerts every Sunday at sunset, from November through April.
One of several excellent museums in Cape Town, the South African National Gallery hosts regular special collections, as well as a superb permanent collection of native art.
Held every December, the Mother City Queer Project is the most popular and progressive gay and lesbian festival in Africa.
For food and wine fanciers, the City Harvest Festival in April is a wonderful showcase of all that Cape Town has to offer. A celebration of the area's rich culinary bounty, the festival line-up includes live entertainment, workshops and plenty of occasions to imbibe and gorge.
Cape Town has a beautiful Mediterranean climate with cool temperatures and heavy rainfall in the winter months, courtesy of close proximity with the Atlantic Ocean.
- Winter (May to July) 8-18°C
- Spring (August to October) 9-21°C
- Summer (November to February) 13-27°C
- Fall (March to April) 9-23°C

Washington, DC (Sports Network) - Troy Brouwer scored twice and Braden Holtby stopped 27 shots to notch his fourth career shutout, as the Washington Capitals crushed the Florida Panthers, 5-0, in the opener of a home-and-home series on Saturday at Verizon Center.
Joel Ward and Mathieu Perreault each registered a goal and an assist, while Alex Ovechkin also lit the lamp for the Capitals, who snapped a three-game slide.
Florida goaltender Jose Theodore was pulled midway through the third period after giving up all five goals on just 21 shots as the Panthers lost for the second time in their last three games.

Ruby Bridges' walk to school became a symbol of the Civil Rights struggle
In 1960, 6-year-old Ruby Bridges' daily walk to class took her past an angry mob and into Civil Rights history when she became the first African American child to attend an all-white elementary school in the South.
Though she only lived five blocks from her new school, Ruby previously attended an all-black segregated school several miles away. After the Louisiana State Legislature exhausted all its options in a long battle against a federal court order to integrate the schools, Ruby was allowed to attend the classes near her home.
"I understood it was important but it didn't hit me until I saw that Norman Rockwell painting. And I realize that it wasn't something that just happened in New Orleans but it was something that people all across the country, all around the world actually, recognized, especially through the painting." -Ruby Bridges
Each day, Ruby was escorted to the William Frantz School by federal marshals who ensured her safe arrival. Her first year at the school was tumultuous to say the least, and many white parents refused to allow their children to attend classes as long as Ruby was there. She also had to continue to navigate the mob every day, and endure threats to herself and her family.
But Ruby's trials were eased by the kindness of Barbara Henry, the only white teacher who agreed to work with her at William Frantz.
An interview with a reporter when Bridges was 17 or 18 brought home the significance of her walk past a throng of angry protesters.
"I understood it was important but it didn't hit me until I saw that Norman Rockwell painting. And I realize that it wasn't something that just happened in New Orleans but it was something that people all across the country, all around the world actually, recognized, especially through the painting.
"And I always say that the lesson I took away was a lesson that Dr. King tried to teach all of us — and that was we should never look at a person and judge them by the color of their skin."
In light of recent events, Ruby's story is a reminder that it only takes a few people to come together and create the change that can help heal our nation's deepest wounds.
Watch the video below and learn more as Ruby Bridges tells her story, discusses the kindness of Henry, and how her experience relates to Dr. Martin Luther King's message of racial equality.

BUFFALO, N.Y. - More than 14,000 people raced down Delaware Avenue for the 117th Annual Turkey Trot.
Click Here to view a photo gallery of the race.
The event, which sold out on November 12th, broke last year's attendance record by 800 people.
Jed Christiansen, 25, of Greenville, P.A., finished first in the men's overall category in 24 minutes, 01 seconds.
