TEALSim -- an E&M Physics simulation application
Electrostatic Zoo | Electrostatic Video Game
[Click the image to run the simulation.
You will need to download Java WebStart, then run the programs.
NB: Currently, these simulations do not run on Mac OS X]
Electrostatic Zoo
The Electrostatic Zoosimulates the interaction between charged particles, and illustrates the electric fields generated as a result. Charges in the Zoo interact via the Coulomb force, with a Pauli repulsive force at close distances and a damping force proportional to velocity. The fields can be visualized in two ways: a "grass-seeds" representation (click on "Idraw-Efield"), or a traditional vector field representation (click on "Field Visualization-Efield"), in addition to the real time renderings of the local field around each particle. Many of the properties of the Zoo can be modified, including the number of charges, the value of the charge on each particle, and the time step of the simulation. Some of the functionality is described as follows:
Use Start button to start simulation (lowest panel). Use Pause button to pause simulation (lowest panel). Click and drag on any particle to change its position. Use the "dt" slider to change the time step. Use "Idraw-Efield" to get a "grass-seeds" representaton of the electric field. Use "Field Visualization-Efield" to get a vector field representaton of the electric field. Select and right click and choose "remove" to remove charge. Use the "hand" in the "Physics" panel with the sphere icon selected to add a charge with the properties specified in that panel. Use the "hand" in the "Physics" panel with the * icon selected to add an electric field line with the properties specified.

Electrostatic Video Game
The Electrostatic Video Gameis a simulation consisting of one charge that is free to move and two charges that are fixed at specific locations. Using the principles of Coulomb's Law, Pauli repulsion at close distances, and damping proportional to velocity, the objective of the game is to steer the moving charge around the maze to the exit in the lower right wall. This is accomplished by dynamically (in real time) changing the value of the charge on the moving particle in response to the forces acting on it due to the local electric field. By thinking about the the charges involved, and resulting fields, you should be able devise a strategy for guiding the particle to the exit.
Use the Start button to start simulation (lowest panel). Use Pause button to pause simulation (lowest panel). Use "Charge" slider in panel labeled "Point Charge" to change the charge of moving particle. Steer the moving particle around the maze (exit at lower right) by changing its charge.

AMD displayed some jaw dropping photorealistic characters at a press conference in New York yesterday, using the power of a Radeon HD 4800 series GPU with their latest Cinema 2.0 technology.
The folks at PCGamesHardware have since posted up a bunch of exclusive screenshots as well as a video showing off AMD's latest tech demo in action. The video shows Ruby having it out with a nasty big Robot on a mission.
This is the first time we see Ruby doing her thing in some all-black attire.

Senior Sendoff
This weekend will mark the final home games for a pair of UA seniors. Infielder Brad Boyer and outfielder Derek Decater will take to Kindall Field for the last time on Sunday against Arizona State. The baseball program will honor the pair for their contributions on Friday in a pregame ceremony.
Last Week
The Wildcats opened their series with a bang, but couldn't sustain it over the next two days to drop their third straight three-game set ... Arizona set a school record for the most run scored in a Pac-10 game with a 29-4 thrashing of Washington State in the series opener on Saturday ... However, the Cougars battled back to win the second game 9-3 and took the series with a 6-5 win on Monday.

The Sun Devils come to Tucson for the three-game conference series with a 32-17 overall record and a 10-8 mark in the Pac-10, good enough for a tie for second in the conference standings ... ASU took two of three from Pac-10 leader Oregon State in Tempe last weekend ... The Devils enter the weekend of play hitting .319 as a team and are averaging 7.4 runs, 11.3 hits and 9.6 RBI per game through 49 contests ... Sophomore Eric Sogard paces the ASU offense with a .372 batting average and a team-high 39 runs scored in 46 games played ... Freshman Ike Davis is tied with Sogard for the team lead with seven home runs and has collected a team-best 58 RBI in his first year in Tempe ... On the mound, ASU has not announced a starting rotation for the weekend yet ... The Sun Devil hurlers have a 4.97 team ERA in 438 1/3 innings pitched this season and have struck out 405 batters against 219 walks.
The History
Previous to this weekend,
This Season
Arizona and Arizona State have already met twice this season in two single non-conference games ... The Wildcats won the inaugural Challenge at Chase 12-8 on April 2, but the Sun Devils cruised to a 22-8 win over the Cats in the most recent meeting on May 2 in Tempe.
Last Season
Arizona and Arizona State met up for five games in the regular season last year, with the Wildcats taking four of five from the Devils ... UA won both the non-conference games in Tucson, 7-6 and 11-5, and rallied to win the conference series two games to one after dropping the series opener on Saturday.

All In a Day's Work
Powering Up
After hitting just eight home runs in the first 23 games of the season, the Wildcats have seen a surge in pitches going over the fence. In
Individually, freshman Brad Glenn has led the home run charge, hitting six of his team-leading eight homers over the last 26 games, with classmate David Plante adding four. Jason Donald, Colt Sedbrook and Bill Rhinehart have chipped in with three fence-busters each and Jon Gaston with two. Brad Boyer and Konrad Schmidt have added one HR apiece.
20 and Counting
Junior Jason Donald's current 20-game hitting streak is the longest for any
Maybe It's Contagious
Perhaps it's coincidence, maybe it's not, but during Donald's 20-game hitting streak eight other Wildcat hitters are batting over .300 during that same time span. Travis Peep (.519) and Colt Sedbrook (.405) are both over the .400 mark, while Bill Rhinehart (.392), Matt Denker (.346), T.J. Steele (.377), Jon Gaston (.317), Brad Glenn (.315) and Brad Boyer (.329) have all seen more success at the plate during Donald's streak. As a team,
He's More Than Just Target Practice
Sophomore Colt Sedbrook, UA's single season HBP leader (see note below), has been on a tear at the plate when not getting plunked by a pitch. In
Chalk It Up
Senior Brad Boyer has been on a run-scoring tear of late. The four-year starter has come around to score at least one run in 13 of UA's last 15 games, including a pair of straight steals of home, and has scored in 34 of the 47 games he has played in this season. The recent run, pun intended, has boosted Boyer into some very exclusive company in the annals of

One day away from redshirting the 2006 season, Travis Peep has taken advantage of his opportunities over the last month. Making his first collegiate appearance at
The Nine Hole
The last spot in the batting order has been one of the most productive for
Denker's Dish
Sophomore Matt Denker has started the last seven straight games behind the plate for the Wildcats. The first-year Wildcat has responded to his new role by batting .346 (9 for 26) with two doubles and seven RBI. For the year, Denker is hitting .326 (14 for 43) with three doubles, a triple, 11 RBI and seven runs scored in 17 games and 12 starts.

One Pitch, One Swing, Two Accomplishments
Freshman Jon Gaston hit the first collegiate pitch thrown to him over the right field fence at Kindall Field in UA's season-opener against LMU on Feb. 3. The home run marked the first time since Nick Hundley in 2003 that a UA player homered in his first career at-bat. Hitting the home run as pinch hitter, Gaston's HR was also the first for a replacement batter at

Through 49 games, the Wildcats have posted a 5.24 team ERA in 436 1/3 innings pitched, and have 440 strikeouts against 197 walks ... Arizona leads the Pac-10 in strikeouts this season, including a conference-best 153 punch outs looking.

Run of the Mills
Junior Brad Mills has emerged as one of the top pitchers on the UA staff. After only accumulating only 23 1/3 innings in his first two years at UA, Mills has tossed 76 1/3 innings this season. His 4.36 ERA this year is the best for all active pitchers and his five wins on the mound leads the team. Mills has also played a part in two of UA's three shut out wins this season. The left-hander blanked Notre Dame over five innings at the Metrodome in a 2-0 win over the Irish earlier this season and he most recently went a season-high eight innings in

Felt like doing another set of the mane six, since my last paintery set is rather outdated. This set will feature the elements of harmony. Figured it'd be a good opportunity to practice jewelry, and makes it a little more interesting.

Twilight looks sooo pretty and beautiful here!!!
She definitely looks like a princess.
She's so beautiful !!
draw this again but with wings!!!!!!!!!!!!!
just do what hasbro did, get some glue and a pair of wings... instant new Twilicorn
We are sorry, Tyger cannot offer a comment at this time. He is far too busy foaming at the mouth due to a case of awsoeme overload. We hope you understand.
I really like the pose on this.
i so perfect!!!
I love your version of Twilight! As well as your other versions of Twilight's friends! They all so realistically beautiful. Awesome job!!!
Faved this too!
It is SO AWESOME on how you do the bodywork! They look like as if they're fused with pony DNA from OUR world! It's still cool!
The shading, the way you've done her mane and tail.... Gorgeous! I'm also becoming rather fond of your anatomy style, kind of a mix of gens and the realism lends a majestic beauty to it, along with the expressions you've given them. I really want to try your style out for myself now. Maybe after I've completed the other pieces I'm working on.
Thank you! I think it's a great idea for you to experiment with new styles. Show style art is great, but I love seeing ponies in all kinds of styles too
Excellent! Sparkle is very nicely turned out!
looks like what happens when you mix all the generations art styles together. looks great.
Oh wow, this is really beautiful. Her coloring is really put to use her, and her shiny mane and tail is just gorgeous. Extremely well done.
nice job hope to see the others soon.
Really awesome art of grown up twilight^^
The shading on her hind leg looks weird, but this it excellent work.
This is amazing.
I don't normally like the more "realistically" drawn mane six, but you've found a nice balance.
Very nice work.
I don't normally like the more "realistically" drawn mane six, but you've found a nice balance.
Very nice work.
Fantastic art!
ERMEGERD!! So pretty..
Freaking awesome!!!
So pretty! ^_^
awesome link all of them together after please
очень красиво :3
Wow, that's amazing!
very beautiful. surprised how pretty she still looks as a normal horse.
I think that's because her head still has most of its aspects from the show, just remodeled onto the realistic frame. Forward facing eyes, a rounded head, etc. Basically, she still looks like Twi, not a just a random horse with Twi's color scheme painted on.
Gorgeous work!
She's so semi-realistic I could just scream... woo hoo
awesome good job on her i like it
Wow, so gorgeous!

Of course you do. You love games enough to visit a site that%26rsquo;s known for writing about this exact kind of esoteric nonsense. In fact, you probably noticed how much the 360 and PS3 cases have changedin just the past year. So without further yammering let%26rsquo;s get into a big ol%26rsquo; list of game boxes through the ages.
There are several potential starting points for this article, but for the sake of hitting the widest possible nostalgia group, let%26rsquo;s go with the Atari 2600. Unlike today, where boxes are rigidly uniform, the Wild West days of the 2600 led to nearly every company adopting its own style of box and cartridge. Imagine looking at a store shelf and trying to figure out which of these games plays on your system. Madness!
Above: Pac-Man and Haunted House exemplify early 2600 boxes, with the name and modes featured prominently
Above: Later, the style switched to silver boxes with huge art
Above: This silver variation worked its way in even later, with smaller art and tons of wasted space
Above: M Network released games with this dizzying design, plus its cartridges were unlike other 2600 games
Above: Imagic is supposedly gaming%26rsquo;s second third-party developer ever (the first being Activision), and it released 2600 games in shiny, reflective boxes
Above: Speaking of Activision, it made sure every game featured the company logo and its signature color wave
Above: %26ldquo;Adult%26rdquo; publisher Mystique placed its art on a grid, along with a warning to protect children from the cripplingly awful gameplay hidden inside
Believe it or not, this merely scratches the surface of 2600 packaging. Like we said, almost every company had its own presentation (and oftentimes its own unique cartridges), so that means there are roughly as many box types as there are %26lsquo;70s game companies. As we move forward, you%26rsquo;ll see this %26ldquo;every man for himself%26rdquo; attitude fade away %26ndash; which would you prefer?
The next major touchstone would be the NES, which followed in the 2600%26rsquo;s chaos-riddled footsteps and allowed each company to print boxes as they saw fit. Even Nintendo failed to keep a consistent style throughout the system%26rsquo;s life, though it did begin with an iconic first run of games that all looked the same.
Above: The NES launch games mostly stuck to this specific formula %26ndash; a game sprite in action, with diagonal game name and a %26ldquo;Series%26rdquo; designation in the corner
Above: When Nintendo introduced passwords with Metroid and Kid Icarus, it kept the sprite/diagonal look but changed the box to silver
Above: Which was kind of confusing once Konami shipped all its games in silver boxes as well
Above: Capcom began life on the NES with a weird floating grid, always behind a piece of character art
Above: Later, Capcom dropped the grid and put everything in a violet border
Above: Tecmo slapped a big red rectangle and logo on the bottom of its big hits, namely Ninja Gaiden and Tecmo Bowl
Above: Tengen (in between lawsuits) released games with a gold half-border
Above: As the years wore on, Nintendo adopted a fairly standard-ish red bar across the top of its games. Still, not every game used this approach
Above: Nintendo re-released classic games from the early days (maybe the first instance of %26ldquo;Greatest Hits%26rdquo; packaging), each stamped with %26ldquo;The Original%26rdquo; on the box
Above: For the most part though, companies could do whatever they wanted. Each game required a Seal of Approval, but even that could dance around the box
With such relative freedom, publishers could design very striking, very unique boxes that leapt out from the retail shelf. However, this wouldn%26rsquo;t be the case for much longer, as once Sega and Nintendo started going head to head, the need for a unified presentation was made quite clear.
Next up %26ndash; Sega%26rsquo;s many attempts to find a consistent style

Debate over repairing quake-hit clock tower
Christchurch city councillors are debating whether to repairthe frozen hands ofa clock tower that stopped when the February 2011 earthquake struck.
The Victoria Clock, also known as the Jubilee Clock, was built in 1897.
The stone tower and all four clock faces were damaged in the quake.
The council's environment and infrastructure committee voted unanimously on Thursday to restore all four faces to working order.
One councillor, Aaron Keown,says they rejected the idea of freezing one face in memory of the quake, because the wrong time could confuse people.
Mr Keown says the committee's decision will be put to the full council at the end of the month and, if it's endorsed, work will start shortly after.

I can't believe how much value I get out of this printer. Wireless scanning, printing, and faxes from all the PCs in my house. Setup was a breeze, and ink refills are cheap so it doesn't cost a lot to own. So many pleasant surprises, from the ease of inserting ink cartridges in the front to the iPhone and Android printing apps. This printer is A+ all the way!

Want to be Saved from the Wrath to Come
Do you want to find salvation and escape the wrath to come? Do you want eternal life with no more fears or worries? Do you want to meet our Lord Jesus Christ? Accepting Christ as your personal Saviour is not repeating some magic like words, as most churches would have you believe. Salvation is this. It is a commitment of your will to serve God and to continue to abide in him. It is accepting the blood of Jesus Christ as payment for your sins and turning away from sin as much and as often as you can.
Some may say, "Oh I am not worthy of him." This is true of all of us, this is why Christ came to the earth in the form of a man and died for your sins. He has through his love, sacrifice, and mercy has made you worthy of God's salvation. Some may say, "But I am born evil. I can't change." Yes you do not have the power to change until you come to God." Many people say they are too evil to come to the Lord since the Lord will not accept them. The very fact that you are even thinking about salvation indicates that God is reaching out to you. If you are sincerely considering salvation, this is an indication that you are predestined to salvation. If you come to Christ, he will by no cast you out!
So what can you expect when you give yourself to Jesus Christ? The churches will tell you that good things will happen and you will be full of peace and love and will feel warm and fuzzy. The fact is that in most cases you will become a target for Satan to shoot at. When you come to the Lord you instantly become a threat to Satan. He will come at you with everything thing he has. The object is to weaken your faith to a point of becoming a complete non-productive believer full of self-doubt and lacking power. The power I am talking about is not casting out demons etc, it's about the power to do the will of God. This power comes from God alone. The will of God is that we stand against Satan by rejecting his lusts and his empty promises.
Becoming a believer in Christ is not an easy road to travel. Our rewards are not in this life, but in the world to come. Following Christ means that you now stand in opposition to Satan and this world. Here are some scriptures to consider.
"If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you." John 15:18-19
"And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God." Rom 12:2 (NKJ)
"And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it. For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?" Mark 8:34-36
"Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you." Matt 5:8-12
Above all remember that our Lord Jesus tells us that,
"If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple. For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?" Luke 14:26-28
Yes before coming to the Lord know that the road is not easy. If you are serious about God, then you may lose a boss, wife, friends etc. Your enemies will be your own family and even your own church. They will call you "negative" and say that you take the Bible to seriously. They will basically say, "Smile. Jesus loves you." As you grow in the Lord you feel separated from the world and you will feel that you are all alone and that no one understands. You will go from church to church feeling cut off and isolated because what you see in the Bible, is not what you see in the churches. Jesus Christ is called the man of sorrows so why do people think that we have to slap others on the back and shout praise the Lord?
Right now we are at war with Satan. Like war some are killed and some are wounded. If you are wounded in war you start screaming "Medic, medic!" You don't just sit there weeping "Why me! Why me!" Why not you soldier? Did you not sign up to fight this war? Many times in our battle with this world Satan strikes us down. Like a good soldier we must shout for Christ to come and patch us up so that we can get right back into the fight. We must repent of our sins before the Lord and carry on. Bad things happen to good people and we have to realize that it is Satan that is hurting us and not God.
For all of you that are suffering from family, health, financial, spiritual problems, all I can say is that we are at war and that one day soon this war is going to end. And end for good! Very soon from now our Lord Jesus will come and say well done faithful soldier. It is time for you to change in to clean white linen and receive your rewards. If you want to be saved from the wrath to come, here is what you do.
Get a King James Bible and read it everyday while praying that God teaches you and blesses you. Everyday do as you think that Christ would have you do. Constantly ask God questions and read the New Testament over at least three times. Don't be a lazy soldier. Endure the hardships of life but never take your eyes off the Lord. Once the war is over all these hardships will vanish for good. Always be looking for the Lord's return.
"He who testifies to these things says, "Surely I am coming quickly." Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus! The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen." Rev 22:20-21 (NKJ)

Posted Jun 22 2012 9:18AM
MIAMI -- Once again we found them dancing and laughing and whooping it up before they won a title. LeBron James. Dwyane Wade. Chris Bosh. The Big Three set free. They were on the bench, hugging, jumping, pointing, hugging some more. Just like they did two summers ago in this very same arena, ever so controversially, in front of this very same hysterical crowd.
Then the final two minutes of the NBA Finals ticked off, and it was official. And when the promised title was secured and the Lawrence O'Brien trophy squeezed tightly by James, there was not one, not two, not three, not four, but five tons lifted from their shoulders.
"It's about damn time!" James said.
You can hate. But you must appreciate. You must acknowledge how the Heat rallied from deficits in three playoff series to win. How they hung tight when Bosh suffered an abdominal strain. How they beat an Oklahoma City team with as much fire and star power, if not more.
And especially how James picked himself off the psychiatrist's sofa last summer, when he was laughed at and lampooned by the basketball world, and went back to work in smashing if not historic fashion.
The 2012 champions are a team specifically built to do this, to entertain basketball fans, to go on a deep run through June, and obviously, to feel the confetti falling from the sky. It came a year later than they thought, and who knows if the future will bring the multiple rings they promised. But right here and now, none of that matters. It's about the present. It's about being champs.
And did you see how it all came together, in Game 5, from tip to buzzer? Wade added 20 points and some amazing blocks on hustle plays. Bosh added 24 points and showed the toughness his detractors said he lacked.
But this was really about James and a wicked playoff performance that stretched to the very end. He scored and passed and rebounded, as he did all winter, all spring, all summer. His average of 28.6 points, 10.2 rebounds and 7.4 assists earned him the series MVP vote in a Roosevelt-like landslide.
It was the kind of epic run that places James among the all-time greats, in terms of production, clutch play and sheer will. The difference is, nobody in the past dealt with the public backlash quite like James, and therefore his mental toughness was championship-like as well.
Instead of the angry and bitter and in his admission, "immature" player who lost the NBA Finals a year ago by coming up short in close games, James was humble and introspective as the champagne began to dry.
"It took me to go all the way to the top and then hit rock bottom to realize what I needed to do as a professional athlete and as a person," he said. "I was just happy I was able to get back to this position. I was happy I was able to do it the right way, and do it for myself and not for anyone else."
His mind suddenly relieved and his championship secured, James kept the emotions flowing.
"Everything that went along with being a high school prodigy, to being drafted and having to be the face of a franchise, everything that came with it, I had to learn through it. No one had gone through that journey, so I had to do it on my own. I had to figure it out oon my own.
"The best thing that happened to me was losing the Finals, and me playing the way I played," he revealed, "because basically, I got back to the basics. I knew I was going to have to change as a basketball player and as a person to get what I wanted. It just happened one year later."
Yes, one year later, when the curtain reopened, we saw a player possessed and a man who impressed. James didn't commit a PR stumble, didn't say or do the wrong thing, didn't rub anyone the wrong way. It was basketball with a purpose -- to win a championship -- and a person with a purpose. And that was to regain the good standing he enjoyed before he left Cleveland amid a blizzard of criticism, some deserved, but most of it way over the top. James never committed a crime but was treated harsher than athletes who actually committed crimes. He became a public punching bad for an increasingly annoyed and skeptical and critical and viral sports world, where the residents hold athletes to a higher behavioral standard than people who actually came into their lives.
James pushed through anyway, chipping away at his "image" with performances that screamed and a persona that soothed.
"I think this meant everything to him," said Bosh, "just the work he put in. At one point last summer I asked him, `how have you been doing?' I just wanted to check on him. He said he hadn't come out of the house.
"Just to see the perseverance he had and to witness it everyday, his progression as a leader and his will to win, I mean, it's incredible. It's been unbelievable to witness."
James grabbed a triple-double in the final game, a truly dominant effort. A year ago, he pretended to mock the illness of Dirk Nowitzki, the biggest star on the other bench, further soiling his image. Thursday, he held a long embrace with a teary Kevin Durant and wished him well.
Wade talked of a team meeting this season where James opened up about his struggles, professionally and publically.
"He kind of let us in on what it's like to be LeBron James," Wade said. "None of us really know. So I'm happy for him. I don't know if I could be happier for another man to succeed in life like I'm happy for him. I know what he went through to get to this point.
"He took being the best player in the league to another level, and he did it all season long. Thanks to him, we're all able to celebrate once again."
Yes. Two years after they appeared from the manufactured smoke and haze on a stage built for them at a pep rally, two years after they were formed by team president Pat Riley to the delight of seemingly no one outside the 305, the Big Three have reason to kick their heels.
And LeBron James? Did he just kick his bad image? Well, that's up to you to decide. Either way, he and the Heat aren't thinking about that right now. They're too busy ... dancing.
"I want to ask permission," said Riley, in the middle of the jubilation. "Can we have a party tonight? Is it OK to have a party?"
Yes. Have at it. There's finally something to celebrate.

Some History Behind the City of Buellton
1920 is the year that the last of the five towns of the Santa Ynez Valley was established, Buellton. However, looking back into the history of the area, the Buell Ranch was a complete town within itself as far back as 1875. By that date R.T. Buell had established a general store, a post office, bunkhouses, blacksmith shop and family homes.
R.T. Buell was born in Essex, Vermont on November 12, 1827 to Linus and Hannah Buell, his forbearers coming from England many years before. R.T. grew up on a farm, learning all the trades, as well as receiving a good education, as he attended Oberlin College in Ohio for three years.
In 1850 he traveled to Kentucky to teach at the Pine Grove Academy, near Columbia. Being in a southern community in the years before the Civil War, R.T. learned first hand about the conflict of ideology between states.
In 1853 the reports of the discovery of gold in California convinced R.T. to try his luck in the far west, so he returned to Essex to say goodbye to his family. He boarded the Yankee Blade in New York for the long trip around Cape Horn to San Francisco.
After 100 days of ocean travel the steamer arrived in San Francisco, and with 54 cents in his pocket, R.T. headed for the gold fields at Bidwell's Bar.
Mining was hard work, and not every one struck it rich, so by 1856 R.T. was farming the bottom lands of the Feather River in Sonoma County. Farming was his first love, and came natural to a son and grandson of farmers.
A year later, in 1857, R.T. started a successful dairy farm with 13 cows at Point Reyes, in Marin County. Eight years later he moved to Monterey County, near Salinas, and opened a dairy farm there with 800 cows. While there, R.T. also edited a newspaper.
During these years his brother, Alonzo Wilcox Buell, arrived in California, having traveled the overland route. The two brothers decided to buy land further south that they had seen advertised in a local paper. The land that was for sale was located in the Santa Ynez Valley, and was a Mexican land grant owned by Jose Maria Covarrubias and Joaquin Carrillo of Santa Barbara.
The winter of 1864 and 1865 had been very dry, forcing many farmers to sell off land to their creditors. It was this land that interested the Buell brothers, The Rancho San Carlos de Jonata, some 26,000 acres of land, and they purchased a quarter of the Rancho.
With interests in Salinas and Rancho San Carlos doing well, R.T. traveled back to Vermont where he married his cousin, Helen Goodchild, in 1867. Their son, Linus, was born in 1868, the first of five children born to the Buells, but the only to survive to majority.
By 1872 R.T had bought the entire Rancho, and dissolved the partnership with his brother Alonzo. Alonzo then purchased the Rancho El Capitan, from the heirs of Capt. Jose F. Ortega.
The Rancho San Carlos de Jonata covered more than 26,000 acres, from the west to mission Santa Ynez, from the middle of the Santa Ynez River on the south to Zaca Station (north on Hwy 101). The land grant had been issued to Jose Covarrubias and Joaquin Carrillo on September 18, 1845 by Governor Pio Pico, last Mexican Governor of California. Covarrubias and Carrillo used the land only for raising cattle, but R.T. had other plans for the extensive property. The Buell ranch became a model of a fine working ranch, as R.T. had the ability to operate a prosperous horse and cattle ranch and dairy farm. Buell Flat, to the East, grew wheat and other grains on 4,200 acres. To keep the horse and cattle under control, R.T. had constructed 40 miles of board fencing for the ranch, an unheard of thing for those days. Lumber was expensive and other costs were very high.
The San Carlos de Jonata prospered, times were good until the drought of 1876-77, when again the rainfall was so scarce that very little grass grew to feed the stock. Trees were felled so animals could eat the leaves, branches, and even the moss.
R.T went into debt to bankers in San Francisco, so to pay his bills he sold the choicest part of the ranch to his creditors, the Buell Flat/Llano Grade.
By 1892 Mr. and Mrs. Buell had separated, with Helen Buell going to live in San Martin, California. R.T. married Miss Emily Budd in 1892, traveling to Bradford, Pennsylvania where she lived. Of this marriage five children were born, Rufus Thompson Jr., Walter, Odin, Glenn, and Gertrude.
R.T. Buell died in 1905 at the family farm at age 78. He was buried in the family plot, now the parking lot of Pea Soup Andersen's Hotel. His body was later moved to Oak Hill Cemetery, in Ballard.
The oldest son, Linus, continued to manage the ranch until the younger children reached majority. Then they each received a portion of the land, the once great Mexican Land Grant, the San Carlos de Jonata.
Another important family in the Buellton area is the de la Cuesta family, of Rancho La Vega. In 1853, Dr. Roman de la Cuesta and his wife Michaela Cota, the daughter of Francisco Cota, of Rancho Santa Rosa, built an adobe home on the south bank of the Santa Ynez River (near Highway 101). This adobe still stands. The home was built under great difficulty as there were no roads and the lumber that was not hewn on the property had to be brought over Gaviota Pass on the heads of oxen, as even oxen carts could not get through. The adobe home was 13 rooms, and is much as it was when first built.
Dr. Roman de la Cuesta, born in Spain, came to California in 1849. He purchased the Rancho La Vega in 1851. La Vega consisted of 8,000 acres and had belonged to Raimundo Carrillo.
The de la Cuesta's had a large family. Don Eduardo and his wife Eleva Pollard, a granddaughter of William Dana, lived in the family home after his parents. Eduardo and Eleva's daughters were early school teachers in the Valley. Son Samuel married a teacher, Eileen McCarthy, and they lived many years in the adobe on Alamo Pintado. Their daughter Elenita Merrill still resides in the Valley with her husband, King, and four children. Don Eduardo de la Cuesta was instrumental in getting Highway 101 routed through Buellton in 1927.
The area of Buellton began to change rapidly after the turn of the century, with more settlers coming to farm and start businesses. By 1911 Danish settlers were spilling over into the Buellton area, and there was a great need for a post office. William Budd opened a post office and it became an official United States Post Office in 1920.
Stores were being built on the main street of the community, and it was Anton and Juliette Andersen who bought a store from William Budd and opened a restaurant in 1924 called the Electrical Cafe. Juliette brought with her from her native France a recipe for pea soup, and this was the beginning of the now famous Pea Soup Andersen's restaurants.
Buellton has always been strategically located as the Gateway to the Santa Ynez Valley, feeding traffic north and south, east and west. In the 1930's Highway 101 was improved as more traffic used the road. In the 1940's Avenue of the Flags was an eight lane road through town, four lanes for local traffic, and four for north and south travel on the highway. In the early 1960's Highway 101 was moved to its current location, and Avenue of the Flags remains as the main street of Buellton.
Buellton became an incorporated city on February 1, 1992. Buellton operates under a five member city council and its form of government. Buellton currently has around 3,900 people, and hopes for more growth for the city.
Rufus Thompson Buell and Roman de la Cuesta, the first men to envision the prospects of the west end of the Valley, probably would not recognize their home today. Yet both were forward thinking people, knew the possibilities of this area, and would probably applaud what Buellton has become.

TC TO JOHN A. CARLYLE; 29 June 1836; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18360629-TC-JAC-01; CL 8:363-365.
Chelsea, 29th June 1836—
My dear Brother,
After a frank from me so very lately, there is some risk of your getting almost a fright with this. Fear nothing; nothing is wrong.
The night before last our Threepenny handed us in that Letter from Lady Clare; announcing that she goes off a fortnight earlier. Whether it was worth while getting a frank for that, you may question; but that is the sole matter. We calculate that it may expedite you out of Annandale: at all events, it seems good that you know it.
The von Stettens were not at home when I called that day: they sent the inclosed Answer,1 full of German politeness; which was probably, in the present hot biliary weather, "just as well." Yet they were good people, to judge by the look; and I shall really be glad if they come, especially you being here.
Jane is not at all well, any more than when you were here. Mrs Austin talks of a voyage to Boulogne for her; but from that quarter I have never yet seen much help come. This morning I was talking to Jane about her going to Templand for a few weeks; but she takes no hold of that. Her ailment is being sick far too often (I mean as women are sick): but that I judge to be the symptom only. Dispiritment, weakness, hot weather.— The Sterlings (Stimabiles) have asked her to go to Paris with them in August; which she has undertaken to do: this she says instead of Templand will set her up. Would to Heaven it might!
I have cleaned out the Garden, which looks very tolerable, waiting for you. Today therefore I must begin my task. I have swallowed a pill, a quarter of an hour ago, tho' it is yet but morning: infer that I am out of order still. Yet these two days of toil have stilled the mind of me not a little: I am far better now; at worst mournful, not indignant and rabid. One strong last pull and that weariest of all things is done. The thought that I am now in the last stage of it, every word advancing to the end, makes me bound again. Courage, Courage!
This morning there came a pack of Letters from the writer Lamond,2 the friend of poor Glen at Glasgow: Letters from Glen to his Brother. To me they do not seem very different from the old sort; tho' this Lamond sees rather better hopes in them.3 Have you any thought of riding up as far to see the poor fellow? You would get little good of him; yet you would see him and satisfy yourself.
James Mill is gone the way of man. He had died on Thursday last,4 before I wrote to you; I heard it before your Letter went off. I have not heard a syllable about Mill since or for a week before: I fancy he did not announce the event to anybody but a few of the deceased's friends. Last night I thought to hear something of it from Mrs Austin; but she—was abroad over all the Earth (it was a rout), and nothing but cackle, cackle was to be had there.— James Mill has left a painful but not a dastardly or a dishonest life behind him: he finds strong censors, strong praisers. O dear, what a thrice beggarly business this earthly destiny of mans and of all men's is!
Sir W. Hamilton seems to be in keen contest with Combe the Phre[n]ologist for the Edinr Logic Chair!5 A printed sheaf of testimonials from him arrived here yesterday; for what special end is not clear. Scull-doctrine becoming Logic is surely a very grand phenomenon. They can fight it out between them: if I wished to fling inextinguishable ridicule on that old Alma Mater (an Arida Nutrix [Dry Nurse] she was the old b——!) of mine in Edinr, then [Combe?] should have the preferment without a moment's hesitation.— This brings to mind, however, what was the only thing I had business with: that Fraser sent you a Book of Combe's6 (something about "the mind," or such as that) a day or two after you went. It is laid up on your shelf, and awaits you.
When will you write? When will you come? The weather is very hot within these two days, and will probably be hotter: but there is a fine breeze still; the evenings, after sunset and thro' night, are really grand and delightful. I came home last night near eleven, and saw. As already hinted, it was Mrs Austin's Party, Mrs Austin's rout. Having already refused several times, I had to go. There were Germans, Counts, Bröckhaus the Leipzig Bookseller, Mrs Buller, blonde and broadcloth what the house could hold: I staid an hour; then got my broadbrim, and took the liberty of retiring to natural rest. My amazement what diversion people get in these things remains considerable.—
But alas, dear Jack, I tittle tattle; and really ought to be thinking of at least the attempt at some work. My love my best love to Annandale, beginning with my dear Mother, whom I hope you will still report well. I drank the last of Alick's whisky out yesterday: tell him so with thanks. There still remains a bottle entitled "Inverness"; which I will break when you come.— I expect to hear from you at least with almost no delay.— You have seen Grahame as well as Ben Nelson? My compliments and kindest wishes to the good Burnswark; also to Ben. God bless you all! Your affectionate
T. Carlyle
Jane has been out to walk; salutes you all: too pale-looking!
[JWC's postscript:]
Dear John I am not at all sure that I will not come to Scotland for two or three weeks—but dont put any body on expecting me until I have made up my mind which will be within the next four and twenty hours I calculate.

This story has been reproduced from today's media. It does not necessarily represent the position of Liverpool Football Club.
A phenomenal Sergio Aguero strike stole the hosts a draw, but they are now nine points adrift of Manchester United in the title race.
Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers hailed Aguero's audacious 79th-minute strike as an "unbelievable" goal, but an equaliser was not enough for City, whose status as champions looks to be coming to an end.
City may have closed an eight-point gap with six games to go last season to snatch the title from Manchester United on the final day, but there seems little chance of them repeating that feat.
While United continue to win and tick the games off, City stuttered to a second successive draw to lose further ground on their local rivals, who seem in complete command of their fate this time around.
Roberto Mancini spoke of his belief that United's upcoming Champions League tie against Real Madrid may see Sir Alex Ferguson's side lose some of their focus domestically.
But City are not playing well enough right now to take advantage, even United were to suffer a title race wobble, with four points dropped in the space of five days seeing them slip further behind.
Liverpool played with a verve and intensity that belied their recent problems, in particular their humiliating FA Cup exit to Oldham, and in Daniel Sturridge and Steven Gerrard had the game's two outstanding players.
City set the tone for a thrilling game as early as the first minute, Pepe Reina tipping a dipping long-range effort from David Silva over the bar, as Mancini's men looked to make an immediate breakthrough.
But it was Liverpool who fashioned the most promising openings, Daniel Sturridge using his pace and guile to maximum effect against his former club, whom he showed no mercy throughout.
Sturridge should have put the visitors ahead in the 13th minute, when City keeper Joe Hart misjudged a hopeful punt forward from Glen Johnson, leaving the City goal exposed.
Quite why Sturridge did not take the ball on his favoured left foot, only he knows, but it afforded Pablo Zabaleta, City skipper in the absence of Vincent Kompany, enough time to block his effort.
Sturridge caused anxiety in the City defence whenever he was in possession and gave them palpitations once again in the 20th minute when he outpaced Matija Nastasic down the left flank.
Luis Suarez was the recipient of Sturridge's delivery, but on this occasion the prolific Liverpool striker's accuracy deserted him in front of goal as he skewed his shot wide of the target.
Suarez squandered another chance a minute later, cutting inside from the right, only to drag his effort wide, as Liverpool found their rhythm and began to put City under sustained pressure.
But it was City who took the lead in the 23rd minute, the home side exploiting Liverpool's defensive vulnerability with a goal that was swift and ruthless in its build-up and execution.
David Silva funnelled the ball through to James Milner, who broke free down the left side and steered the ball across the face of the six-yard box for Edin Dzeko to apply an assured finish.
Yet Dzeko went from hero to villain in the space of seven minutes as Liverpool equalised with the City striker lying on the ground, claiming to be in need of treatment, after a challenge from behind from Daniel Agger.
With ref Anthony Taylor having decided Agger's challenge was legitimate, Liverpool continued to play on, despite Dzeko lying prostrate on the turf and the home crowd voicing their dissent at the perceived unsporting nature of the visitors.
That dissent turned into outright mutiny when Liverpool's refusal to kick the ball out yielded a goal, Sturridge drilling a majestic shot beyond the reach of Hart, his goal celebration muted in reverence to his former employers.
City were furious that Liverpool had played on, but their ire should have been aimed at Dzeko, who sprang to his feet after Sturridge had scored, his feigning of injury ultimately costing his team a goal.
Dzeko's actions saw his team-mates stand-off Liverpool, with Mancini's players no doubt waiting for their opponents to relent, their hesitancy and uncertainty punished with the concession of the goal.
Liverpool were deserving of their equaliser, having shown more purpose and penetration than City, and continued to put the champions under pressure after the break, with Sturridge their chief tormentor.
The only moment Sturridge put a foot wrong all afternoon was when he took a needless dive after once again getting the better of Nastasic, with whom there was the slightest of contact, a transgression punished with a yellow card.
The visitors took the lead in the 73rd minute, through a trademark long-range strike from imperious skipper Gerrard, who took full advantage of Gael Clichy's unconvincing clearance, beating Hart with an unstoppable dipping shot on the half-volley.
Liverpool could have extended their lead five minutes later, when Sturridge flicked on an inswinging free-kick from Gerrard with a glancing header, the ball spinning just wide of Hart's far post.
There was more drama to come with 11 minutes left through Aguero's moment if individual brilliance, the City striker seizing upon a mix-up between Reina and Martin Skrtel, who had only been on the pitch a matter of minutes.
With Skrtekl having left his goalkeeper to contend with the ball, Reina raced from his goal but was always going to be second to it, Aguero producing a instinctive first-time shot to score from the most outrageous of angles.
Sturridge almost won the game for Liverpool in the 90th minute with a low strike from the edge of the area but it was third time lucky for Hart, who palmed the ball away, having already been beaten by two long-range efforts.
Yet a draw was not enough in a game from which City had to take maximum points to keep up the semblance of pressure on United, who inched ever closer to title No.20.

Koh Samui has become one of the most popular locations for private villas in Asia and the island leaves nothing to be desired when it comes to luxury, quality and variation.
Serviced by Samui International Airport, which has direct flights to most of South East Asia's largest cities, Koh Samui is easily accessible for visitors or investors wanting to enjoy the villa lifestyle on offer there.
The properties available to buy or rent include everything from charming two-bedroom bungalows to majestic eight bedroom mansions with all the amenities imaginable, such as a private gym, pool, movie theatre, expansive living and lounging areas. Some of the largest villas even boasting tennis courts and a private spa.
The reason for the many villas that are being developed on Koh Samui is the island's increasing popularity as an upscale travel and lifestyle destination. From its beginnings as a lazy backpackers retreat with little in terms of high end accommodation, the island has evolved dramatically over the last decade to become one of the most sophisticated tourist destinations in Asia.
Swanky beach clubs, luxurious villa developments and fine dining venues vie for attention alongside stunning spas and attractive shopping malls, drawing sophisticated travellers from all corners of the world.
Some rental villas are located on hill tops overlooking the azure blue seas, while others enjoy direct access to the beach and close proximity to the island's modest towns and late night entertainment centres.
Private and corporate developers have built some of the most luxurious properties in the world on Samui. There are very few things these professional companies cannot do and tight competition forces them to continuously improve their product to attract ever more savvy and demanding guests. New technologies and innovations are always being added, especially in terms of environmentally sustainable building, where developers on Samui have made great improvements over the years.
In addition, the local authorities have significantly tightened building regulations o so that building safety has improved and environmentally sensitive building practices are encouraged and sometimes rewarded.
The result of these developments are a cleaner, more aesthetically pleasing and not least safer built environment. There are also several initiatives around the island to make the beaches and forests cleaner and more sustainable as a way to maintain a healthy tourism industry.

Tonight is the night! After an exhausting day of sensory training, I will be heading to our brewpub in Rehoboth Beach to be the hometown representative at Simul-Cask. Before the firkin is tapped, I will give a run down of the process leading up to this momentous occasion and at 7:50 sharp, the keystone will be breached and the beer engine will get to work.
I filled the firkins last week and the beer tasted magnificent. This beer was dryhopped with whole leaf Cascade hops at a rate of one pound per barrel. This is on top of the ridiculous amount of dry hops already administered to the batches of 60 and 90 that went into it. It is out of control. The maple syrup acquired to prime the beer was wicked flavorful as well (because it's from Mass, of course).
So a little word about the proper dispense of this beer. To fully enjoy the splendid hop aroma from these casks, I STRONGLY recommend serving it with a hand-pump equipped with a sparkler. The hop aroma compounds are all hydrophobic and want to come out of solution. When the beer comes out of the sparkler, those compounds get released from the beer but are then trapped in the head of foam created delivering their bounty to your nose moments before the beer hits your lips. Pure hop heaven for sure. If you local doesn't have this equipment, urge them to make the investment. It will enhance the Johnny Cask experience and ensure that you'll come back again and again for more.
I hope to see one or more of you in Rehoboth tonight!

Brussels Sprout Salad with Pine Nuts (Gluten-Free)

I diagnosed myself for gluten intolerance after a lifetime of bizarre, seemingly unrelated afflictions. If my doctors had their way, I would have already undergone neck surgery, still be on 3 different inhalers for asthma, be vomiting daily and having chronic panic attacks. However, since eliminating gluten from my diet in May 2009, I no longer suffer from any of those things. Even with the proof in the pudding (or gluten) my doctors now want me to ingest gluten to test for celiac-no can do.View all articles by Destiny Stone

Turkey achieves a Happy Planet Index Score of 47.6 and ranks #44 of all the countries analysed.
Turkey's HPI score reflects a relatively high life expectancy, 'middling' levels of experienced well-being, and a moderate ecological footprint.
Other statistics
Turkey's experienced well-being score is 5.5 out of a possible 10.
This is a little higher than the world average level of experienced well-being (5.28).
The data for experienced well-being draws on responses to the ladder of life question in the Gallup World Poll, which was asked to samples of around 1000 individuals aged 15 or over in each of the countries included in the Happy Planet Index.
Turkey's life expectancy is 74.0 and ranks #63 among the 151 countries analysed.
This just below the life expectancy of Thailand (74.1), but higher than that of Brazil (73.5)
The life expectancy figure for each country was taken from the 2011 UNDP Human Development Report and reflects the number of years an infant born in that country could expect to live if prevailing patterns of age-specific mortality rates at the time of birth in the country stay the same throughout the infant's life.
Turkey's Ecological Footprint is 2.55 global hectares per capita.
If everyone had the same Ecological Footprint as the average citizen of Turkey:
- the world's Ecological Footprint would be 5% lower
- but we would still need to reduce our Ecological Footprints by around 45% in order to stay within sustainable environmental limits
Ecological Footprint is a metric of human demand on nature, used widely by NGOs, the UN and several national governments. It measures the amount of land required to sustain a country's consumption patterns.
For a majority of the countries (142 of the 151), Ecological Footprint data were obtained from the 2011 Edition of Global Footprint Network National Footprints Accounts. For the nine other countries included (Belize, Comoros, Djibouti, Guyana, Hong Kong, Iceland, Luxembourg, Malta, and Palestine), Ecological Footprint figures were estimated using predictive econometric models.
